Only some of the LWP on the market will work on the hero due to openGL and GPU performance on the hero. It's kind of a trial by error thing; download one from the market, and try it out. Just FYI it's going to kill your battery ;)

Ok, here is one for you. I am thinking about using the Extremely Vanilla version of CM6 posted on a thread here at XDA. I already have the "stock" CM6 stable version running. If I flash Vanilla, what might I lose or not lose? Does flashing just update the files that are different or does it wipe everything back to clean?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
If you simply flash without wiping, you won't lose anything. Just be aware that on a vanilla rom, you get no CM6 extras: it's pure stock AOSP.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberhound:
Don't wanna sound dense, but by CM6 extras, do you mean the extra tweaks in the settings? What else would I lose? I'm not sure other than the tweaks what the extras might be...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
That's correct, the extra tweaks, sound tweaks, etc. Vanilla is what google puts out, nothing more :D

need help installing cm6

i posted this yesterday but it was lost with the forum backup..

I have rooted my phone and have downloaded the cm6 rom to my sd** (i downloaded it via my phone's browser). it is still zipped. what i need to know is how to get it to be in my "flash from sd card" list on my recovery menu. all it shows is my root boot push or something.. (i cant look at it now as im using my phone as modem). i am downloading the sdk for 2.1 right now so i can have the tools in my c:\.

What i need to know how to do is get the zipped cm6 file to be running on my phone, but i am not sure how to do that and i dont want to brick my phone by doing it wrong. is there a list of commands i need to enter in the cmd screen to wipe the dalvik-cache? also do i need to use the cmd to run the rom on my phone?

** it's on my sd card, but it might not be in the right place. it is located in sdcard/xscope/downloads/cm6.. i think i read somewhere that it needs to be in sdcard/cm6? is this correct or false?

help me please

thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
The file should just be in /sdcard. No subfolders or directories, just on the base. To reboot into recovery, power off you phone, and then hold in home and end call. From there, you'll find install from sd card. Do a full factory wipe first, and then flash the CM6 zip. Then, flash the gapps if you want the market and other google apps. Reboot, and you should be good to go :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhotondm:
Yes. It needs to be located at sdcard/cm6. Once it is there as a zip file you need to power off your phone. If you want the Google apps you need to place that file in the same spot on your SD card. Which can be found where you got cm6. Once your phone is powered off u need to boot into recovery by holding down the home button then pressing the red power button and releasing it after the phone comes on. Then release the home key. If your phone is properly rooted you will come to the RA screen. First you will need to perform the wipes. The cache, and data factory reset wipe. Once the wipes are done go back to the main screen and go to flash from SD card. You first want to flash the cm6 zip file. Then if you want flash the Google apps file. Then once complete you can reboot. It will take about 10 minutes before fully booted.

BTW, this thread is great. I got pretty good at modding my BlackBerry, but Android seemed pretty daunting at first. Now, there are lots of tools and info that make it pretty painless to mod my Hero and recover it if I jack it up. This thread is much appreciated.

That's why I wanted to make it, and I'm really glad that there's people like you out there who really appreciate it :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberhound:
Another question....I am on nTelos, a regional carrier. If I were to flash a newer radio file (the latest Sprint radio in your sig), would it fubar my Hero? Or are the CDMA radio files pretty much generic to all CDMA Heros?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I'm not sure, so I wouldn't risk it. Flashing an incorrect radio is the surefire way to brick your phone. While I think that the CDMA radios are all ok for the CDMA Heros, I'm not 100% sure, and I don't want you to have a brick on your hands :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberhound:
Well, since it seems to work pretty good right now, I'll just leave well enough alone. Thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
No problem, and yeah the only time you really should change radios is if you're having signal issues. If your's works, then there's no need to change it up!

Quick question, does cm6 have a2sd? Or is that something I need to dl to SD
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
It has froyo native a2sd. Go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, application storage and then select your a2sd options. Just make sure you never put apps like keyboards, home launchers like launcher pro, or widgets on your sd card, or they won't work correctly. Welcome to CM6 by the way :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twolazyg:
So I'm wondering if I need to keep the cm6 zip and gapps zip on my SD card.. can I move them to my PC to free some space?

You can remove them once installed :)

OK so I just want to make sure I'm running my phone optimally. I'm a bit confused... this is what I'm trying to set up.

Sept 22 Extremely Blue Mod

I'm thinking BFS #10.

And when I get BFS #10 do I still need to get SetCPU? Should I get the collins battery tweak as well?

Can someone help me with profiles too? I try to keep my phone plugged into my computer a lot via USB when I'm at work. I also tether semi frequently.

I would do bfs 10, but make sure you don't run set CPU and the battery tweak together as they conflict. For a more automated approach, I would do the battery tweak, as it will auto scale your CPU based on what you pick. If you want more hands on, let me know and I'll work with you on setting up set CPU :D

Movies and Video

I've had the following problem on all nightlies and also the Stable mods. Movies and videos don't play past an hour, they either just go back to around the 5 min mark or the video keeps playing but the audio jumps back... and I can't find any way to fix this other than breaking the videos up to smaller ones.... not a really great fix. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcepero:
I appreciate the help! I see you on the forums a lot and I think that's great that you put so much time into helping.

That being said I would like to set up SetCPU so I can use profiles. Basically I wanna maximize performance and battery life based on the apps that I use.

Like I said, I have my phone plugged into USB on my computer quite a bit so I'd like some kind of option to have the snappiest performance when I'm plugged in.

In addition, I run Pandora and GPS a lot... sometimes simultaneously. Usually that's in my car. I try to keep it plugged into the cig lighter but not always. I wanna keep good performance while running both GPS and Pandora while not hurting my battery.

I also tether quite a bit. The other day I had two iPod touches tethered to my Hero and my battery got up to 42C. Not sure if that's too high but that's the highest I've seen it go. I'd like to have some kind of profile that aids performance while tethering. Also a profile to help with battery temp in general. Just to make sure nothing bad happens to my phone.

So here's what I did. I wiped and flashed the Extremely Blue Mod Sept 22 version. Just tested out Quadrant to see where I was at. I think I got like 427 or something. On Neocore I'm running about 26 FPS.

Now I don't know if my battery tweak is still installed. Because I WAS running SetCPU and the battery tweak at the same time. But when I wiped and flashed again it looks like my baseband is still upgraded and my kernel is still BFS #10. So I don't know if that still means the battery tweak is still running as well. I don't know how to get a complete wipe going and start from scratch.

Any help on the procedure?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24601:
dcepero- Am running the same setup. Interested to hear how your's is working. Not sure I have enough knowledge (courage) to run battery tweak.

impaler- I downloaded the keyboard zip and installed, selected it in >settings>Language & keyboard, but it still does not show. Am I missing a step or 2 or 3?? Thx.

Found these instructions from impaler in another thread; works fine:

"Make sure under settings, language and keyboard, the htc ime box is checked. Then, go to any text input box. Long press it, and select change input. Then press HTC IME, and you'll be good to go!"

i just flashed the ra 1.7 file you posted in the bfs thread and i'm wondering if there's a thread about that recovery rom that is kept up to date. i've tried searching but can't really find anything.

also i noticed it doesn't backup .android_secure, or at least doesn't seem to. i'm reading that it may pertain to apps2sd, so my guess is it may somehow be included with ext.tar? either way if it's missing will i see any problems down the line?

what are the main advantages of this recovery over clockwork exactly? i kind of miss the ability to rename my backups to something meaningful and maybe a little bit of that progress bar, though ra seems to backup a bit faster.
