Will do..

On the other hand, my girlfriend has a hero with the same Rom, Same kernel, same all, and for some reason her phone runs very sluggish..

Do shortcuts on the screen affect performance? (Not Widgets)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
They shouldn't.... phones are different, and react to the same conditions differently. Some are fast, some slow, just the way it is sometimes.... may want to try a different rom with her it the problem persists
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sh0wty:

Terminal emulator

Hey Impaler do you know how to get the terminal emulator working... i think the main reason it is not working is because there might be an issue with super user. For some reason my apps are not getting SU permissions

Im on a CDMA hero, running the aosp GB mod. thank you
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

Hey all, I just got a 16 gig class c micro sd card. Any suggestions/ideas to put all that space to good use?

Thanks for everyone's help, you guys are all so indispensable!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Nice! I'd use it for some music, and then leave the rest for pictures and nandroids, as nandroids take up a hefty amount of space :)

That was my general intention. I had read about a fire rat mid that sounded like it was set up to use some of the ad card for improving over all system performance. Any experience / thoughts on this. I'm running cm 2.2 black mod atm.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I don't really approve of firerat's tweak. It messes with the phone too much, can cause major issues, is a pain to remove, and doesn't give you much IMHO

impaler! I accidentally ran your battery mod app for cm166 on aosp's new gb rom. Can I remove the file in terminal to get my device to boot again? (Boot loops). I figured it just applies a new img file in /system. I should be able to remove the improperly installed file in the command prompt right? Again, I'm assuming these things, can you tell me which file to remove? or correct me if I'm wrong in trying this?

Edit: I ran the circle batt mod (forgot the proper name for it)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Just flash the rom over itself, no wipe, and that'll fix it :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
reflashing your rom should correct it.

Question about radios, so on my hero I have never upgraded the radio and never had and issue my question is though are the new radios part of a stock OTA update? I wondered this since their are updated radios coming out even though htc said it wont be supporting the hero, just looking for clarity not a procedure
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Yes the 10.29 came in an ota for maintainance update, not an "update". Idk if you are s-off but do that before you do the radio, as that is radio specific. The radio gave me much better signal overall and made battery life better as result. Go for it.

Titanium Backup question....

Apologies if this is not the place for the question but you guys have never steered me wrong so I figured I would go ahead and ask.

So I got the paid version of Titanium Backup and backed everything up no sweat. I finally go to restore all my apps and data and it prompts me to hit "install" for every single app? This seems like it can't be right so I thought maybe I am just missing some setting or something?

Thank you all for your hard work!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashV2010:
Thats what it does my friend... The app will link up with the market and do an install for you like if you found it on the market... It ashers you that you are updating the version of the app(s) that you want to install or don't want to install... If you didn't want a specific app you say no and it goes on to the next app to install for you.

Well poo lol, I was kind of hoping it would just do all that for me with no interaction as pressing install 50 times over the course of an hour got old quick. Other than that it seems to have done it's job so I am done complaining. Thanks for the quick response.

Hero flashed w/ CM 6.1.0 Lost Mobile Network

theimpaler747

Dude... What a thread... Epic

I just signed w/ Credo Mobile and got a HTC-Hero CDMA

A WONDERFUL Phone...

Naturally, being curious, I immediately voided my warranty by flashing the rom to Cyanogen(mod) 6.1.0

Unfortunately, not being particularly bright, I didn't back up the stock ROM

WOW.... CM 6.1.0 --So nice, everything is faster, everything works -- EXCEPT

I completely lost 3G Mobile Broadband

Credo -- no help -- you violated the warranty, too bad

.

Sprint -- No Help -- Not our customer

I love this phone, it's clean, simple, solid build, great camera -- I don't want to give it up - but I need the 3G....

Happy to ..Donate if you can get me to a place where I have 3G w/ Credo again...

OR... if I can know that the rooted phone will work w/ other carriers, & I can sell it on eBay

Thanks for all you do here... a truly Heroic Effort

Thanks in advance for any help
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I can do that ;) You want to try a different rom I think, either RUU or go back to stock, or backup and do a different rom, I can provide you with those if you need it :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweepinJR:
I've never heard of Credo Mobile, so I'm not sure what stock ROM they use, but there are sprint and cellular south stock rom's available from HTC direct. They make no mention of supplying the phone to a Credo Mobile. Is this company located in the back of a van?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywho:
no, they are a sprint reseller (I can't post links yet) but they are at credomobile . com

What info do you need from me, and what are my options -- keeping the phone is my first choice, but being able to sell it would be OK... I just signed a 2 year contract w/ these guys.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
You can, first thing I'd do is to wipe, and reflash the rom from scratch
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywho:
the CM Rom, or another? also, as a new user, I have to wait 5 minutes to reply so I don't spam the place

FWIW: I just did a complete wipe with nandroid and reinstalled the CM.zip
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yeah, just do a full wipe, that means everything on the phone and every partition, and then flash the rom again and see what happens and let me know :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywho:
wiped everything... reinstalled CM 6.1 heroic

Got message that a file was missing,

and it couldn't mount directory ??/secure

pulled the battery, rewiped reinstalled, didn't get those messages

Booted into CN... got an alert in the status bar saying -- lost data connectivity because I left my home

I'm rebooting now, w/ international turned off
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Ok, try that then and let me know how it goes
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywho:
I boots, I see the little 3G icon for a second, & then it disappears -- status message says "Sprint"

Now trying it with Roaming turned off as well

=======

Nada.... just the flash, letting me know I've got 3G, then it's gone, the notification is Sprint -- and that's it -- with all roaming turned off -- only home network
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Ok, so the problem is that the rom isn't working on your provider then... Can you RUU back to the rom you were on with your provider?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywho:
No... I asked them for one -- no dice... Can't find one on the web... been looking for days before asking for assistance

hmm given the contract -- if I could get ROM that know worked w/ Sprint... I could ebay it...

Sucks, I really like the phone

=====

Actually -- since I SEE Sprint, and the 3G flash, maybe I already have one that works w/ them.... wonder if I could go to a store and test it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Ok. If you're feeling risky enough, you can try a Sprint RUU.... not sure if it'll work though
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heywho:
My guess is that since Credo leases the towers, a sprint Rom might still be a billing issue, on the other hand, I could try it, and and least sell the phone if it works.

got a recommended Sprint RUU?

====

I'll walk into a sprint store tomorrow and see if they can hook me up... as is... if not, I'll try the RUU... I've been on this too much already... I'll hit your donate button.... ;)

Back to stock?

Hi. Thanks in advance for the help. I'm on CM6.1, but I think I'd like to go back to the HTC Sense of 2.1. I can't find a ROM that will take me back to stock properly. Here's what I'd like to do, maybe it's not possible, I don't know. ...

Roll back to stock 2.1; update via OTA; re-root; re-install my apps.

I tried the official RUU but being that my work PC is x64 XP, I can't get HTC Sync to install. I tried the NFX stock 2.32.651.2 ROM but it seems to be VERY slow and after flashing that ROM I flashed the Gapps (20101020) and now my Gmail is gone.

I just want to start over I guess. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
It sounds like for what you want RUU is the way to go. BUT, I would suggest you try the custom NFX rom - I think it's called NFXhero - the odex versions are the fastest btw. Also you do not need to flash gapps on stock roms, they are for aosp based roms, this may also be your slow problem, but I'm not sure. Also if you use a rooted rom, even sense, I believe the decfuct kernels and batt tweak should work, and help greatly with speed. All of this can be found in the hero cdma development sub-forum.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpmi23:
Alright. I'm downloading the odex version from THIS thread right now. Thanks for the help.

A what's up Impaler. How's it going man.??? Hopefully your not smashing any more mac's lol. Na but I have a question. I was searching the market, just seeing what was there,and I came across this app that allows you to change the VM heap size. Now I know in CM6 you can go up to 32. But I noticed on the screen shot of this app you could go higher. So my question is, what's the highest VM you can go without hurting the performance of your phone.
