I agree completely! It never ceases to amaze me how a dedicated community of hardcore users can create something so much better than the company that built the darn thing. I was so fed up and disgusted with the official HTC/Sprint 2.1 update with all of its bugs and lag (and after such a long wait) that I was ready to toss this thing. And now my phone is awesome and a pleasure to use again. Many thanks to Darch and Cyanogen for all their hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Read the previous several pages of posts, others are talking about it extensively.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
One thing that i have noticed that if i turn my screen off Freq to low it takes longer for the screen to wake up and unlock. I have tryied all of the overclock widgets and apps. Just an idea ( i have so very few ideas lol) just some food for thought
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Is this the uncapped kernel you're referring to (from Decad3nce)? Did you notice much difference in battery life one way or the other with uncapped?

Are you using the "interactive" CPU governor? Thanks for the info...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Psycoboy15:
I tried the UncappedKernel and it caused the phone to boot loop
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Psycoboy15:
I just noticed there is a new kernel that specifically has this line "Fixed kernel panic reboots" so testing that one now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
I know this is going to be hard to believe but Ive done 3 day testing with rc1 and the battery tweek. First I'm not using any special kernels just the battery tweek with preset number 2 (691) settings, and I got like maybe 10 hours off full battery charge but I had autokiller or a task manager running. So next morning at 8am I deleted the task manager still same settings and my life went to 12 hours from previous 10 along with autokiller still running. Day 3 I removed all forms of task management (Autokiller) and from 8am with full texting, tweeting, web browsing my life jumped to 21 hours no joke. Fyi this is what was killing MY battery so I would suggest removing all task managers and see if it works for you guys it sure did for me.

EDIT; I also noticed running task killers cause my phone to get hot alot and along with battery drain, with out one my phone stays super cool all the time.

Battery Life

I'm ranking Battery Life as the most important thing for me. I came from Fresh2.0d (which i think was Fresh 2.1.2) and would go from 6:30am to 10:30pm with only using 25% of the battery, even without turning off 3g. Today is my first full day on CM6, I started with a reboot this morning and 3 hours into the day my battery is at 97%, so not too bad (even though I haven't really don't anything on my phone yet). The only things i changed was enabling JIT and changing my End buttong to 'Home, then sleep'.

I haven't really had any problems yet, besides the wake lag, I feel like my signal is worse, but I can't really confirm that. Also haven't tried sending MMS yet.

In conclusion, there wasn't a real reason for me posting any of this, but I'm loving CM6.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Psycoboy15:
Carious, What keyboard do you guys all use with this? I liked the one that was in the Fresh Rom. The default keyboard in Froyo seems meh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
I use better keyboard v7 something, so far so good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] greenmikey:
I have always had sad battery life and I decided to look into changing that last night. So far things are looking good.

What I have: CyanogenMod-6 nightly 8/18 +JIT, UncappedKernel 8/17 #5, Battery Tweak highest clockspeed preset + CFS, ClockworkMod Recovery. I also jumped facebook to 2 hour updating, ¼ screen brightness, wifi and gps off. I think this is all I did, not sure though.

I am on hour 10 of the battery and have 73% left. We will see how responsive it in low % with cfs, I heard some people say it gets a little sloppy…or maybe I just imagined that. What else can I do to boost this time?

Oh, I reset my battery too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wookietv:
hi,

this is my first attempt at a non-sense ui rom... one thing i'm missing from sense is the htc calendar widget. is it possible to push it on to this rom if say, i grab it from the fresh rom? if yes, anyone know the name of the file?

thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Great, this hadn't happened to me yet but now that you mentioned it I just had two icons revert to their "default" version. I'm using LauncherPro, you? (These icons were in a folder, and they were included when I restored LauncherPro settings from a backup after flashing the ROM. Just re-added them, will let you know if it happens again...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Not possible (different frame works).

The two things I have found that are close is:

Pure Grid Calender widget or Launcher Pro Plus and using the calender widget in that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lorsoblu:
You simply cannot do that. That is built into Rosie (HTC's home screen service) and requires it to be used for the HTC Calendar Widget to function.

My suggestion? Look into a LauncherPro and pay for LauncherPro Plus. It has a calendar widget that is very similar to HTC's. I actually like it better, cause it lets you switch between a calendar view and an agenda view without switching out widgets.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gorbisloth:
For those you asking about wireless tether. You know it's built into Froyo right? You can go into Settings/Wireless & Network Settings and you have a Tethering option right there. I've been using it for the last 15 minutes or so and I'm posting from it now. Works perfectly on Win7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
That's USB tethering, not wireless tethering.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gtarent:
Try the Jorte calander widget, I preferred it by far over the HTC one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Holy jeebus. My naps must have magic powers. Every time I nap, there's something new when I wake up. Anyway, THANK YOU DARCH! You're an awesome dev!

Been running the CM nightlies for a little over a week now, and everything's been fantastic, but does anyone know whether or not the substantial wake lag that was in the last nightly I loaded is gone/reduced?

Naturally, I'm upping anyways but just curious!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Is this the same as the 8/15 nightly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ToxicToastKatz:
Could someone kindly tell me if you can use the Sprint VVM with this ROM?

Also, what is the story with the Exchange security issues? I've seen a few people state that they can't get any email/calendar updates because of it, and I've seen some state that they can.

I have seen my phone ask for updated security settings, then tell me it can't connect, but it appears I'm getting everything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caffeinegamer:
This is AMAZING! Froyo is like an IV of pure caffeine directly to my phone! Thank you for all of your work! You people are geniuses!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Darch your the man! OMG! Been running the nightlies and seriously thought it couldn't be better but this RC1 is it! Thanks man.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] usfslacker:
I think this is an issue with security protocol on the other end of the whole thing, your exchange server communicating with your phone. After my initial boot it asks me to confirm giving my server the option to control certain security fxns of the phone and then it gives me an error for around 15 minutes until everything syncs up and then it goes away and I get emails.

I've never had a problem with it after initial boot, and the problem always seems to resolve itself in a short time. It is confusing though considering 2.1 had absolutely no issues whatsoever syncing without these additional security measures.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
I just created this account to let you know that I love your rom, if not for it I would be pretty upset with sprint for not letting us get the froyo update after doing another 2 year contract with them. Still dont like them, you just softened the blow a little.

Link for google apps not working. Anyone got another?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
titanium backup won't stop installing

in the market, all my apps got restored except titanium backup which says downloading, but anytime i try and cancel the download the whole market force closes. tried rebooting, still attempting to download and making no progress. any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] benitozilla:
First off Darch thanks for an amazing rom, the nightlys are the **** and so far ive not been dissapointed with anything really

only one question, for whoever may be able to answer it i guess.

the wake up lag..i had it on the nightlies and the RC1 i have it as well.

minor annoyance, but does anyone have a work around? or is it only me experiencing it ?

:cool: thanks in advance

edit: mother effer, reading back someone has already asked. i saw earlier others were experiencing it too, ah oh well its still a bad ass rom

thanks darch!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BUDMANUCF:
anyone know how to get the contact pictures to sync?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lorsoblu:
First, this is easily the most stable version of this I have used, so kudos to that. Thank everyone for their hard work!

However, I am still suffering from massive wake lag, easily up to two seconds. Does everyone have this issue, or is it potentially something I'm using?

Or is this one of those "worst case situations" where we are always going to have it to some extent due to making Cyanogen work with our hardware?

Gallery & Rotating Phone

Seems to be a bug in Gallery:

Open Gallery, load an image. Rotate phone orientation (i.e., Portrait -> Landscape or otherwise). Image becomes garbled / skewed.

Anybody else experiencing this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Yes.10char
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, I also have it

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ToxicToastKatz:
One more questions, along with the VVM compatibility:

Does Facebook sync w/ contacts work? It appears that it's not syncing w/ my contacts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
Its an opengl issue with the hero. You can install the 2d gallery instead (I don't have the apk or I'd post it)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
Wifi is working. Nevermind.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gorbisloth:
Didn't even realize you could do it that way. Can't seem to get my PC to see the connection but I'll play around with it and figure it out I'm sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
ok i was wondering if anyone was having the problem where when you go in and out of service you get a voice mail notification? I have no voice mail. I am using sprint vvm and i have tried truning off all of the other notifications in google voice. Can i just uninstall google voice through titaium back up or will it effect other things?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] colinjreed:
does the gapps package with this rom include the latest updates to the gmail client and voice search?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cgordon40x30:
yes, both are included in the latest google apps pkg from the first page.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I'm using the AWD launcher that is included in the ROM

I'm attaching screenshots so you guys can see what I'm talking about. I love 2.2 but if this is going to keep happening I may have to go back to 2.1. I cant deal with wiping and resetting up the phone every other day.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Are the widgets on your SD card? If not have you tried restarting the launcher (in the launcher settings/preference menu).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
i'd kinda recommend you run this rom stock without any mods outside the scope that the rom allows you to make before saying there's a bug in the rom(i see you're running a theme)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Oh I'm sorry, I am running the blackmod theme. How do I remove it to see if thats the issue. I'm pretty sure its not, however, because as I said this has happened every time I have flashed the RC1 build and I didnt start using the theme till this last time.

Also this is happening now too. View attachment 382981

Does Bluetooth audio suck for anyone else? Bought some bt headphones and its stuttering like crazy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mparkerfd20:
This is an ADW Launcher problem and not a problem with the ROM. It's been happening like this for me every since I started using ADW Launcher. Like you said it's random and happens every few days. Simply go to Settings>AW Launcher>System Preference and click on or off the "System Persistent" button. Then hit HOME. This will cause ADW Launcher to recycle and your icons and such should be corrected.

You can accomplish this a number of different ways, I simply found this was the easiest way to get ADW Launcher to recycle.

Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] patmanz28:
so far the only issue i had was when i put a shortcut the the car mode on my homescreen the phone slowed to a standstill and had to pull the battery and restart it before i could delete the shortcut from my homescreen. Although i must say my battery life has been amazing with this rom.. thanks to everyone involved in this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuatillo1:
whats up with the new nightly....??? is it the same as the rc1....???:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Well that fixed the icons issue but the widgets are still missing and the notifications drop down is still messed up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Are the widgets and programs (for the problem icons) on the SD card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] overthinkingme:
Darch, is there any chance that you'll implement a2sd the same way it is implemented in darchdroid?

A "internal | native a2sd | a2sd" option for moving apps ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ASimmons:
Can this be flashed over DarchDroid 2.8 or do I have to wipe and then flash it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
yea, wait for cyanogenmod 6.1

just readd those widgets for now, you were probably pushing different launchers which usually results in a widget not found when you reload the launcher. as for the notification drop down, you still haven't done what i told you to do in regards to running the rom stock, just reflash the rom on the first post no wipe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I'm trying to figure out the awake time for my phone but I can't seem to figure out how to find it. From what I can tell from my forum searches its in spare parts. How exactly do I get to it and what is it called? I found a % for a value called "running" is that equivalent to awake time percentage?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] power_tennis:
Howdy. Firstly, this is an awesome rom! I am a noob and i'm happy to say this was my second rom I've tried and it was very simple to get done. I do however have the same problem with the LED's not flashing. I've gone into the settings (red,white,green only) and they still remain solid.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexnaoumi:
How close r u to making this rom 100% complete?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
At least you get 14-15 hours. That's what I used to get with 2.1 and I'd be happy. Every version of this ROM sucks battery and I get maybe 8 hours at the most.

The ROM is perfect except the battery life is terrible.

Sent from my HERO200 using Froyo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] overthinkingme:
Thank you, I can't wait

I didn't like darktremor due to it lacking a ui or ui integration.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daryelv:
I find that battery life comes down to what you have syncing in the background. For me, I can easily kill ANY rom in 2 hours just by enabling "Automatic (Push)" on my Exchange Email. I get thousands of emails daily through that account and the constant syncing just kills battery. Look at all the things you have syncing, I'm sure you don't need to be checking Gmail every 15 minutes, or your Twitter every 5.

Currently, if I leave my data connection on with things syncing in the background (1 hour or so refreshes) I get around 20 hours of battery. If I turn off data when I'm not using the phone, I've gone 48+ hours (it was at 12% after 48 hours).

The point of all this... your battery life will vary according to your use, it's usually not something in the ROM that causes it, unless there's a wakelock or something. But I'm assuming you would have looked for that to begin with.

nandroid backup

I'm new to this. I was able to root using the method on page 1. Now, how do I get it to do a nandroid backup? I powered down, then powered back up while holding the volume down and end keys. I have the white screen with the 3 options: FastBoot Mode, SimLock, and Recovery. How do I create the nandroid backup to the SD card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Yes they are on the SD is that an issue?

I'm re-flashing now... I was only running the included awd launcher. Not sure what you mean by pushing different launchers

UPDATE: Flashed w/o wiping and the theme is gone but I'm still getting the notification drop down issue. Also when I try to re-add the widgets they are not in the list as an option, yet they still show up in the applications settings area. I know I can re-install them (thats what I've done before) but Im more interested in why/how this is happening.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daryelv:
This thread is regarding the Froyo ROM, to ask a question regarding a nandroid, please use an appropriate thread.

The short answer for you: Recovery.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Maybe try battery tweak? Personally I've never had better battery life
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gkao:
I am trying to flash to the Froyo ROM. As part of that process, as outlined on the first page, is to root, then backup, then load radio then wipe. I'm trying to do these in steps. A little help to get this up and running is appreciated.

I selected the Recovery, but I get the image with "!" and a phone next to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wingzfan:
Hold volume down+Home+End to get into recovery.

Can someone create a FAQ for this ROM?

Does anyone want to create a FAQ for this ROM? It seems like the same questions are getting asked over and over again...

1. A2SD - The Google implementation is available in this ROM. You can also use another A2SD method such as DarkTremor's.

2. Widgets disappearing - Do NOT put your widgets on the SD Card, keep them in Internal Memory.

3. Don't ask what/when/will RC2, RC3, Released, etc. ROM will be out. They'll be out when they're ready.

4. HTC Widgets will NOT work in AOSP. Quit asking.

5. Sprint VVM, NFL, etc applications will work, do a search for threads that explain how to.

6. Battery life - YMMV, AOSP is a different ROM with different applications syncing data than the HTC Sense applications. Look at your configuration before crying about battery life.

7. If you don't know how to nandroid, flash, reboot into recovery, go read the threads stickied at the top of the forum. This is not a thread for newbies to be asking "How do I use adb?" when it's been covered ad nauseum elsewhere.

8. READ the first post before asking any questions. It gets updated regularly with bugs, new information, etc.

9. SEARCH, this thread has lots of tips and tricks and answers to your question that have been asked by other newbs before you. If you don't know how to search, you better wear flame retardant underwear.

-Daryel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] YoColdRain:
make sure you hold those as soon as phone is starting back up (for me only home works pretty well). You should get HTC white screen, then it'll go to black screen with all recovery options. then just browse around, its quite easy there.

p.s. Also, if phone starts to boot rather than going to black recovery screen, just press Call(green), Menu, and Power(red) button to reboot device from that point.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] uf20wop:
is there any way to disable the haptic feedback on the lock screen?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
I seem to be getting low signals with the 2.1 radio and not sure if there is a newer one or not. I hardly have any bars at all so I'm willing to try another one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
You need to install a custom recovery image. Recommend either Amon_RA 1.6.2 or ClockworkMod. The easiest way to do this is to download "Rom Manager" from the Market (its free) and you can flash either one through the application (once you give it Superuser Access). Amon_RA is the alternative image if you scroll to the bottom of the menu.

Great rom. I'm still having issues with gps as well. In the Sprint Nav app for about every 30 seconds the I lose gps signal and back again and goes again and again. Believe or not a missed a turn on an intersection because of this matter.

Does anyone knows a fix for this?

Call me greedy but I hope Darchstar never claims this ROM as 100% complete. I look forward to continuous updates and tweaks that will extend the life of my hero. Just my 2 cents.
