im getting my hero next week as a replacement for my horrible samsung moment, and i plan on flashing CM6 after im done playing with sense for a long period of time. what i would like to know is how bare bones is CM truely? ive heard that it has adw preinstalled, and i know that i would have to apply gapps myself, but how true stock is it? keep in mind, that i will run launcherpro+ as my default launcher when i do get CM6 installed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
It is stock with some useful extras put in ;) If you want pure 2.2 speed but no extras, I'd go AOSP mod

Oddity with area code being wrong....

I have a Htc Hero running Cyanogen rc1 and I noticed someting odd yesterday. Anytime I try to make a phone call using the dialer it adds a 617 to the begining of the number... This wouldnt be a problem if that was my area code but it is'nt lol. If i add my local area code and the number everything works fine and I have no problems with people calling me. Any suggestions for all you smart folks out there? Again, much appriciated in advance!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Hmm.... can you post a screenshot of what you're referring to? Not really understanding
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
I dont know how to or if a screen shot would help but ill give you a step b step....

1. press dialer icon

2. dial local number (ie. (555-1212)

3. phone starts to dial, but adds a 617 (which is apparently Boston) area code to any local call I try to make)

4. problem is I live in Ohio and have a 937 area code.

5. If I dial 937-xxx-xxxx it works fine.....

So for some reason my phone thinks my default area code is 617 when it is infact 937.

Not a big deal seeing as I dont call many out of the ordinary numbers. Just threw me for a loop last night when I was trying to order a pizza..... Ill look into figuring out how to take a screen shot in casr that will help more.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I think you have to dial an area code anyway....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
The only time I used to have to dial an area code was if I was calling long distance, previously I could just dial XXX-XXXX and it knew it was the 937 area code. For some reason it is appending 617-XXX-XXXX to any 7 digit phone number I call. No big deal really, I was debating reflassing anyway for the hell of it. It seems as the day goes on my phone gets slower and slower. Can't really pin down what the issue is, if I reboot its fast as sin for about an hour then slowly downhill. Other than that I love this mo fo lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yeah, it's odd, never really heard of the problem ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
Re-flashing it is then. Any suggestions as to what I flash (ie kernel, extras, etc...)

Previously I used:

Cyanogen Rc1

Stable uncapped #15 768

Is it worth trying #11 691? I want the best speed/battery combo I can get plus all the functionality. I really do appreciate all your help and plan on making a donation as soon as Im not a destitute American :(

Any ideas as to why my phone is slowing down over the day?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Do you use JIT? If so, disable it, and bump the VM heap size up to 24. Some phones do actually perform metter at 691, since 768 can become unstable on some phones. Thank you for the upcoming donation, it really helps and I appreciate it so much :) Just remember it's never required :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
I had been using JIT so I will turn that off, and Ill bump up to 24 for the heap. Should I go with the battery tweak I keep hearing talk of? I do use SetCpu....

I am going to try the 691 kernel for a bit and see how things go.....

Im also about to give your blue theme a try! I'll let you know what I think.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Great :) Hope you like it! Should make things run faster as well. And yes, if still slow after that I'd try the tweak, and uninstall set cpu
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
Any suggestions as to how I should partition my 4 gig sdcard?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Via your recovery image.... there should be an option for it
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
I meant more along the lines of formatting the whole thing Fat32, or should I partition it out for some of the ext partitions I have never used before... :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Oh ok you'll have to format it on your computer, it will erase everything though so back up all needed files :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
I think were still on the wrong page :) I went ahead and formatted the whole thing fat32. I noticed in the recovery format settings there were choices for swap size, ext2,ext3,ext4 (or somthing simialr) and wasnt sure if I should utilize any of those methods for formatting my sdcard ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Oh my bad, not unless you use compcache ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
Is it beneficial for me to use compcache?? I vaguely know of it. Temporary RAM or something to that effect?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yeah, do you have a class 6 sd card?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
Im not sure what class it is, but i know it's not 6... a bit older.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Ok, then it really won't benefit you to use compcache :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
Easy enough :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yeah, but if you ever get a class 6 or higher, I'd use it, it helps with music performance and overall speed and such. Sorry I didn't understand the question earlier :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchun222:
Oh it's quite okay :) and thank you again, just got the blue theme up and running. Time to put my phone back in order. Thanks again!!!

There's no issues removing apps via the ADB shell right? IE: Twitter and things like that?

Also if I wanted to make a system app can I just push an APK in the system directory of the file system?

Not sure if that makes sense. IE: I look and see the facebook app in the system apps and I can't remove it via uninstaller for example. Could I remove that and replace it with BLOO if I choose that way it's in the system rather than someting that I can uninstall?

Thanks,

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
The easiest way IMO to uninstall system apps is with titanium backup, but adb will most certainly work :) And yes, you can place apps in system via adb push

Ok, for the past couple weeks every time I hook up my phone to my computer it automatically mounts the sd card. It's been doing this since nightly 98 or so, and I'm currently running 117. I went back to nfinitefx stock rom and had no auto-mount, but any nightly gives me auto-mount by default.

Surely there is some easy way to edit the default usb connection settings, right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Most likely ;) Go into settings, and under applications.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henway:
Impaler - sorry to trouble you again. After having applied the 691 CFS Kernel everything has been running ok. Phone showed some noticeable lag - compared to pre-kernel flash, so i did what you recommended to another reader and changed VM heap size to 24. Speed happily back up, now noticing battery life sufffering.

So... just flashed Decad3nce's BatteryTweak-DecaMODv2.2. Question is do i have to set any parameters or will do its magic without intervention from mere mortals like me?:confused:

Thanks in advance

H
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
You need to set parameters :) Go to terminal emulator, and type this in:

su
batt-cfg

I would then select the 691 defaults (#2 I think)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henway:
Thanks - just did what you suggested, it was #2 for 691 defaults. I think it's time for me to get bifocals or a phone with a bigger screen if I am going to use terminal emulator often...:o

Thank you again for your help Impaler and, as many have said before me - thanks to you and those that have made our phones fun to have and use again!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch1naski:
Hey, Impaler. First of all, many thanks for being so helpful and informative. Wouldn't have such a better phone without you.

Second, is my question:

If I flash the Blue theme, will it restore any apps I had previously removed while using the Gold theme? Not market apps, but, the Cyanogen stuff?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch1naski:
Another noob question: Looking at the thread for the Decad3nce kernels, and the instructions on flashing them, and it says:

"Place the downloaded update.zip at the root of your sdcard. Then boot to recovery mode, wipe dalvik, and flash it. Your ramdisk will remain intact and unchanged, but your kernel will be replaced.

You MAY need to wipe dalvik cache if you're having strange problems."

In recovery, I only see "Wipe Dalvik Cache".

Not the same thing, correct? Am I missing it somewhere?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yes it will but those can be easily removed with titanium backup :)

So not really necessary, more of a curiosity question than anything, but on the Facebook mobile site (I prefer it to the touch site), why does it autodetect my phone as a Galaxy Tab? Before when running DC 2.09.1, it detected it as a hero, or at least a hero200, and I want to say under the original CM6 stable release I started running it detected it as a Nexus. Any reason it's not detecting it as the phone that it is?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Probably because the phone's fingerprint in the build.prop is different since its running 2.2, and the hero is not supposed to be

Good morning Impaler. D/L the newest blue and having a ball. Thought this question was better in this thread. With Launcher Pro there is an option to display the unread missed call, sms, and gmail counts on the LP dock icons. I use Exchange by Touchdown for my outlook email and have a TD icon on my LP dock. Is there any way to code to show unread TD email count on the LP dock icon? I inquired with the devs at TD (awesome group, BTW; very responsive to users) and they said it was a good idea but no way to code it through TD, that it was more of an android or LP matter. Any thoughts?

I was deleting some junk off my sd card when I opened a folder called downloads. This folder had over 100 apk's in it! It couldnt see what they were as I was using my PC so I accessed the folder via Estrongs and found they are all the apk's I have downloaded from the market. OK that seems normal right? What about having 2 or 3 of the same apk in this folder, are those the updates? Is it safe to delete these, or is it a cache for the market so it knows what apk's you have along with updates for the apk's?

Thanks
