[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ix3u:
Quick question.

I'm going to get an evo in the next couple hours and letting my wife use my hero until her upgrade comes around. Problem is I am out of town for work and will be sending to her and she has no idea how to do anything. She is going to have to call and get it activated with her nunmber and was wondering what I would need to flash so that sprint can over the phone activate it (had problems with custom roms on my mogul with them not being able to activate it) and in the process not loose root or anything. I'm pretty sure that I can run her through doing a nandroid restore that I already cm7'ed out and optimized for her, but past that I don't think she would be able to re-root it if that ended up being necessary. So any advice would be awesome.

Thanks

Just flash a rooted sprint sense rom and you'll be fine :D

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
the wiki is pretty awesome

http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

if you still have issues, either ask in the aospCM thread or the "live help" link in the first post of his thread. The main things that seem to be an issue are: you need to upgrade your radio, you need to upgrade your recovery, you need to wipe/format everything prior to flash. If you did that, try booting just the rom, then go back to flash gapps. Also, make sure you're flashing the newest version (currently 03/10).

CM7

Hey Impaler, I know you made the jump to Epic and I noticed the 6.1 thread not as active as it used to be. Are a lot of Hero owners moving towards CM7? Im still running CM6 but not finding much discussion on the boards on merits of installing CM7. Any thoughts on installing CM7? Thanks in advance, H

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waffle_:
Interactive is your best bet for performance and battery life.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phito:
Hmm, just out of curiosity, is there anywhere that gives details on the different governors? I haven't found any. Thanks to all for the input!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Search google, you'd probably get something ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waffle_:
ondemand

Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed. - SetCPU website

conservative

Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery. - SetCPU website

performance

Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking. - SetCPU website

powersave

Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times. - SetCPU website

userspace

A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor. - SetCPU website

Interactive

The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu

at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming

out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire

within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer

fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phito:
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm gonna mess around with onDemand and interactive, because smartass was down below 70% in 2 hours time.

GPS issues on rooted Hero

Hello,

I have rooted my Hero (Sprint). Everything is working great except my GPS only holds its signal for about 3 minutes. I downloaded GPS Status and once I download the signal again, it resets and works for another 3 minutes then cuts out. I am running Android 2.3 with Cyan. I have tried it with both Google Nav and Map Quest and same result. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

/sarcasm

The man can't answer that question as he doesn't tether his xbox to his phone. So, instead of misleading you and blowing smoke up your ass, he was honest and upfront about it and you get your panties in a twist. Careful about what you say on these boards, people see statements like that and just won't help you at all, and from what I've seen, you ask a fair few questions. I would really hate for you to lose a great resource such as xda just because you're being pouty over a non-issue.

Hello, to be as short as possible, I switched from blackberry finally to android 2 days ago. I didn't want to use my upgrade on the shift when I heard about the 3d announcement. So I bought a hero for sprint for cheap, I then stumbled upon rooting and put 2.3.3 on it last night and the kernel is 2.6.29.6-aospCmod. Is that the newest Rom and kernal? And second what is the best set up for all the options in performance/apps that help the phone I know turning up gpu and a few others. Basicly a list of your settings or link to one.

Lockscreen Clock

I'm running aosp's ginger rom and want to change the lockscreen clock's timezone (I want it to show a consistent time zone regardless of which time zone I'm in).

Haven't found a launcher that let's me change this, and the CM mod settings don't address it.

Where would I start in changing this? Would it be a simple edit of a config file somewhere? A custom theme?

Thanks!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I don't think AOSP has those options, no.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoMatt:
It does not. I ended up buying widget locker, which allows me to add a clock widget to the lock screen, among other things. Definitely a "kitchen sink" approach. I was hoping to figure out something more elegant, though this works well, and doesn't seem to slow things down at all.

Am I blissfully ignorant in thinking this is something I could tackle myself by poking around in the ROM to customize it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
It'd take a lot to get it to stop looking to the network for the time..... Glad my widgetlocker suggestion was decent though :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoMatt:
Indeed it was! Thanks. Widget locker is pretty cool.

I figured it would be a handful to delve into that. I wouldn't necessarily need it to stop fetching the time from the network (the clock in the status bar is fine) I just want to customize the big lockscreen clock to say "fetch the system time and convert it to this timezone, then show it in big pretty text" instead of just "fetch the system time and show it in big pretty text".
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Lol, no problem, glad you like it :D And yeah, you may want to fish around the services.jar if you're interested in the clock.

Holding down app icon to move

theimpaler747 what is up..

I'm on about my 6th or 7th Rom on my Hero. What I've experienced with all of them on my phone is this: Sometimes when I go to hold down or press an app icon on the screen to move to another home screen or to delete, it either won't move or I can just highlight it, or it opens up very quickly. I don't know if others have had this issue or not. Is it a warmth issue in my finger tip, is it related to my screen protector. (thin plastic I bought for the Hero) If I reboot it will allow me to push/highlight and move usually. I've often wondered why you can't highlight the app icons by moving the trackball and pressing down on it to move. Any thoughts. (Please don't tell me I need a new finger ! ) Thanks
