What is the newest radio and can it be flashed at anytime? I think my stock radio isn't good with this rom or the signal bar is way off as i never get over 2 bars but have decent connection

The signal bars on this rom are low by default. 2-3 bars is really good actually. There's a visual fix to show the more accurate strength however. I've attached it. Apply via metamorph. PM me if you have any questions

bluetooth voice activation

Well, I decided to go back to RC1 to see whether the voice dialing through bluetooth has been corrupted in the nightlies. That does appear to be the case, as running RC1 I am able to initiate a phone call through the bluetooth even when the phone is in standby. Guess I'm going to stay with RC1 and rebuild everything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I personally have stuck with RC1 and I find that it is not only stable, but blazing fast with Decad3nce's uncapped #9 stable kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Looks like your strategy has been a good one, Impaler. I'm done dinking with the nightlies, as much fun as that has been, and I'm going to go with RC1 and flash decad3nce #9.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
do you use collin tweak?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Thanks, and I definitely had fun messing with the nightlies too :D I just decided to settle down with something that is easily a day to day rom, and really, RC1 is almost completely perfect. I can't wait for RC2?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
So I bought aFirewall - first and only app I've bought - and blacklisted 9016, and now I get no vm alerts or vm. Any tips on settingsto allow vm to work?

edit: no vvm, if I call, it's there. I've tried "calls and messages" blacklist and "messages only", same results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
Ok, so Im guessing I could reboot into recovery and flash the zip file for the visual fix and then the kernal? Or would I have to reflash RC1 and then the kernal?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nativ73:
I just added it through "add manually" under "blacklist" and set it to block both calls and sms, and voicemail notifications are still coming through on vvm fine for me on both mine and my wife's phones. Under settings I unchecked both notifications, other than that I didn't do anything special.. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
Don't re-flash rom after kernel & visfix as that will negate them (back to "stock" rom). For kernal, just flash, then you'll need something to oc with, like SetCPU or collin_ph battery tweak. I'm pretty sure visfix isn't just a simple flash, I just enable dBm display so I have real numbers on my signal. Go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > UI > Staus bar - you have to reboot for it to take effect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MRagu:
If ur referring to the zip that fixes ur signal bars that theimpaler747 posted, then NO ... it is a Metamorph file. It is NOT a file that you flash via recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ezintn:
settings in aFirewall? or where?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
ok so flash kernal from recovery after Nandroid backup and flash the visual fix with Metamorph? Sorry kinda new to Hero and not sure what Metamorph is.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssconceptz:
I finally got ahold of metamorph but do not have any idea how to flash that zip, guessing I have to extract it first

i stayed with rc1 for about a week and then noticed good reviews from 8/24 nightly and flashed directly over rc1 without wiping. it got rid of the lock screen lag for me and...there was something else. can't think of it now. over that i flashed decad3nce #9 and colin's battery tweak. so far so good. the only issue i see is with gallery sometimes. i think it's when i zoom in and then the accelerometer kicks in, everything gets weird until i zoom out and back in again. also, launcherpro works way better for me than adw. much smoother, no lag. i ended up buying the plus version both to support the dev and to get the nice sense-like widget he's making. he added a twitter one today.

anyway, i'm good with 8/24 for now. i'm so thankful for the rom. makes watching the evo and epic go on sale less painful. less than three months till i can upgrade!

Ok so I am still running CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0-RC1 (08/15/2010)

I am having problems with

Phone app coming up

gets slow sometimes

and google maps things I am on the other end of town.

Where can I find the nightlys? I have never looked in to them much but willing to take the chance

Is there a list of must have fixes or does one have to just read over ever post?

And how is the over clocking (if there is any with this ROM)

Thanks!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
First off ... performing research prior to asking questions answered countless times over would be appreciated :).

1) K-9 works well with Yahoo integration ... don't even need to do manual setup, the automatic one works perfectly.

2) The constantly talked-about and constantly-improving lag you refer to will hopefully continue to improve thanks to the great work by the devs.

3) Charge your phone to 100%, boot into recovery and go to Wipe => Battery Stats. Discharge until 0%, then recharge and go.

4) There is an old overclock fix from the n00bz release that brings it up to 768, but there is a distinct possibility it will lag on wakeup worse than what you think it does already (as it has improved since then).

5) Yes, the BlackMod Theme will work on CM6. Look in Themes & Apps under "BlackMod for CM6 (Updated 8/16) Now with Nightlies/RC1". I understand the title is confusing. Scroll down to RC1 update, and I believe this is the correct one.

You can use the AOSP email app. You just have to set it as IMAP.

IMAP server needs to be set as: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com

SMTP server needs to be set as: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Im getting better battery than on Darchdroid 2.7-2.8

Thanks so much Darch :D

I'm in complete and utter love with this rom. Gonna put it on my fiances hero too it's that stable

Edit: The ONLY bug I've been able to find in this RC1 build is the audio. Upon rebooting, when my audio was set at full, on reboot, I don't have any audio, even though it says full. I have to push volume down, then back up again to get the audio working again. That's the ONLY issue (of course other than what Darch has posted in the post) I've been able to notice thus far. Nice work Darch!

Guess I gotta change my signature again, LoL :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mthanded:
Found a slight bug with the new voice features. After you initiate a new text or email they show you the text and then there is a button for you to add more using voice. If you hit this button it will force close.

This is an amazing rom!!!!! Wow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Works fine for me, but I did uninstall all the google apps (voice, search, voice search, maps, etc) from /system/apps and then just redownloaded them from the market.

I still can't get it to specify the person I am texting with the call action, it just puts their name in the body of the email and leaves the to section blank, but if I click on the mic by the to section and say a name it will now recognize that.

I've noticed that the charging LED turns green far before it's charged, sometimes even at 90%. Is this normal?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VirusZer0:
Shame on me...

I've been running this basically since the testing began. Simply put, I love it.

I only have one question, not really on the ROM, but battery calibration. I use 2 different batteries, when one dies I switch to the next and put the dead one on a wall charger. Now, the question. Do I calibrate one battery, wipe the stats, then do the other? They are both 1500 batteries, one is original, one is for the Touch Pro 2, but works the same.

Thanks in advance,

Browser Crashing?

For whatever reason, my stock browser won't run without crashing. No message or FC, but it just closes itself. I can use Opera Mini or some other browser in the meantime, but I hoped to figure out what's going on.

Glad I read this post. It seems like the twitter widget he came up with is exactly what I've been looking for. Does it use OAuth so we don't have to worry about it breaking like peep did in the last few days?

Hey, Impailer, are you using the collin batt tweak with the #9 kernel and RC1? I may be going back to the RC1 since the past few nightlies have broken the bluetooth voice dial feature. Also what is your cpu speed set at on #9?

Im running CM6 but didn't really wanna have to reflash to scratch. Could someone kindly pm me the link to the nightlies everyone is talking about.

The main issue im having using #9 is lag and it takes too long for the OC widget to detect the screen is on/unlocked and doesn't switch speeds quick enough. Maybe I need to try a diff program for overclock.

You'll find vvm in Impaler's signature - if it's a zip, just flash, if it's an apk, install via app mngr (I use EStrongs).

As far as vm texts go, the only effective way I've found (so far) to deal w/ 'em is to turn off notifications in stock message app, install Handcent and blacklist 9016. This works, but Handcent still gives me an unread message count for vms which annoys the piss outa me....

Awesome bro! Thanks for the info. Would you happen to know why my hero may not be able to handle the same speeds yours can? When I was running a 768 max before I would get random reboot and what not. Ive heard the each hero is different but why is that?

Sent from my SUPER HERO with Froyo using the XDA app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It all comes down to what/how the processor is configured in your phone. Since we are already overclocking the chip, sometimes we end up putting too much strain on it. I guess you can look at it like people; all people are different, and some can handle more load than others just because of the way that they're programed for lack of a better term... did that make any sense?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Yeah I get that, its just odd that HTC builds 2 identical phones and one can handle higher speeds than the other. Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem. Feel free to PM me anytime you have questions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MRagu:
It pretty much happens with all overclockable computer parts ... processors, ram, gpu's, etc. If you take two Intel processors that are the same clock speed, from the same factory, shoot even two built right after one another on the same assembly line, one would still overclock higher than the other. :)

Quick Question.. does this have the new JIT and if so, is it enabled by default? If not, how do you enable it. If it isnt installed, how can I install it?

Check under ... Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Performance settings/ .... should be the first check box if I remember correctly.

Be sure to reboot after turning on JIT to enable it. I get 440 Quadrant scores with it on.

Also JIT is not suggested for the hero.

I used quadrant to benchmark my phone with both JIT and without JIT....and the phone got better scores without JIT...running on RC1.

You guys might want to check it out...because I'm pretty sure 2.2 uses it's own version of JIT already...anyone want to confirm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
working great now, running 8/30 nightlie, battery_tweak, and decadence kernel #9 with juice defender, JIT enabled, etc. quadrant is 400 or so and Mflops @ 4.95-5.1

right now the phone is @ 25% battery and 28 hours light phone use, texts, and navigation. amazing to say the least.

had one question about Juice Defender however, when I wake the phone up it shows that it is disabled on the status bar and then quickly becomes enabled obviously with my battery life its doing great but is that normal?

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
weirdly that happened to me too and I slightly panicked no clue why it happened or what caused it but it hasn't happened again and like you pulling the battery had it boot up.

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I actually had that happen a couple of times, once when I received a call and once when I was just playing a game. By chance, are you both running Uncapped Kernels? because I lowered my setting from 748 to 729, and it hasnt happened since.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
yes I am Decadence #9 I have had zero problems besides that not sure what happened but until/if something else does I'm leaving it alone lol

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
On the uncapped kernel, what is your max frequency set to? Because if it's too high for your phone, then that would be what caused the reboot.

Is anyone else's volume when talking on the phone WAY TOO LOUD? Even with it turned all the way down it is super loud, almost like a speaker phone. I'm afraid it may damage the earpiece. Running 9/3 nightly BTW.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
My volume does seem louder, but I'm fine with that and when I turn in down it returns to a normal volume. Have you used LVH or messed with dsp settings? You should be able to lower the volume through each of those applications.

Is this normal, i noticed my reception bars remain at 2 most of the day. But once i get a phone call my bars go all the way up. Im noticing my battery life isnt that great, and im curious if its because my bars are so low when i dont have calls?

Also to, my display takes up like 70% of the battery usage is this normal? I dont really use my phone all that much while im at work. And when i get home my battery shows 50% by the end of the day its down to 14% when i charge before i go to bed.

Also too i notcied im having issues sending text messages and pictures is there a fix to this? Thanks guys. (using handcent)

Got any recommendation for the other stuff i mentioned? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Go into spare parts and make sure that you have hitting the end button makes the phone go to sleep selected. Then wipe the battery stats from recovery when your phone is 100% charged, then. use the phone until it's completely dead. This will calibrate your battery and possibly fix your high up times. And always feel free to pm me if you still need more help with anything

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
There are several other techniques as well. Check your sync times on your widgets (Twitter defaults to 15 minutes, for example ... higher times between syncs means less battery usage), avoid excess background applications running (e.g., task managers, battery monitors, etc.), and even fixing permissions in Rom Manager helps a little. If all else fails, buy Ultimate Juice Defender ... it allows you many configurable options to really maximize your battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
True, and also make sure that if you're running the uncapped kernel you have a screen off frequency set lower than your screen on, that way you save battery with your screen off.
