I literally JUST upgraded to the 1.7 recovery and had the same issue. It only worked for me thru the path to my phones browser folder. ie: flash_image recovery sdcard/xScope/downloads/RA-Darchstar.img .... did you download the 1.7 from your phone?, if so try to follow the folder path, if not... maybe try to reinstall the 1.7 on your sd, good luck!

removed RA 1.5.2, then tried to flash, and it gave me a bunch of errors (out of memory) and then it tried to write for a while then ended with "error writing recovery: no space left on device".

ADB isn't an option, can't get it to install properly on my computer for some reason.

I'm running the CM6 nightly number 95 and Im having a bit of a problem. I recently made a Facebook and got it all synced with the official android app, and it know syncs all of my contacts pictures with Facebook and is really awesome. It will not sync my profile picture though, and whenever I'm texting or anything it always shows a blank square. Is it possible to sync my profile picture? Or at least add a picture.

i had the same problem using the copied img on my sd base, said it worked but then the recovery was still 1.5.2, so...

reboot recovery

I just figured this out the other day. it depend on what sms app you have, mine is handcent. if you are in a text just touch the blank icon for yourself and follow the prompts to put a pic in there, its pretty easy. if you don't have handcent i don't know if it will work the same. i have seen some people saying if you create a contact using the name your sms app uses for you, for example "me" then it should use that picture. hope this helps. good luck

Handcent and Chomp you just add one. Stock app you have to create a contact for yourself with a pic.

So i rooted my phoned and flashed cyanogen, i love it so far. Just have one concern on my stocked android i was able to get facebook notifications in my task bar now with this mod i don't. Yes i have the notifications checked under facebook settings
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I'm nor familiar with the facebook app :o Anyone have any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
maybe I can help. first off if you are using autokiller and it kills facebook, your notifications won't work because the app is off... second, make sure you have it as one of your synced accounts in phone settings, i found that to help alongside google... third, if none of that helps you could search the forum for black red fb or black blue fb, it's the same app as stock just changes the colors which i liked, and with the red fb my notifications seem to work. if nothing else maybe uninstall and reinstall the app, re-adjust your settings and see what happens. hope this helps.

hello impaler... just found out when reading your black and gold theme breakdown about the updated adw launcher, so i downloaded it, but it didn't update the old one. when i press home button i get this:

com.android.launcher (obviously the old)

org.adw.launcher (new)

so my question... is there a way to update to the new from the old one by replacing it, so that i dont have 2 launchers?

Pause within phone numbers...

I had stored phone numbers as 1XXXXXXXXXX p XXXXXXXXXXXX, for numbers that needed to have a pause in between. These used to work perfectly fine with the 2.1 sense. However, this doesn't seem to work with CM6 - stock dialer. The pause within the numbers are converted to '7' in the dialer.

I tried the Dialer one app - does not recognize the pause, either.

Any solutions?

Any help is much appreciated!

Nandroid Backup

Hey Impaler, I was wondering if you could help me with something. As you already know, I've been having issues trying to Nandroid. I've cleaned up my SD card and came across my 'nandroid' folder. I opened it up and this is what I had...(running jaybob's BlackMod 10/19)...

SD/nandroid/HT995HF00587/BCDEMRS-20100801-0250

-20100828-0425

-20100731-2347

&

so on...

I have a total of about 19 of these 'BCDEMRS'

I'm thinking that these are Nandroid Backups that I have tried to do as I update the BlackMod/EXT blue Rom. My question is...

Can I delete this folder or just delete the dates in this folder??

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Don't delete the folder....that's where your nandroid back ups are stored...you can delete the files in there...19 backups though!? How big is your SD card....! I usually keep 4-5...but keep in mind that even a backup that failed will have a file there too....

I have Sprint hero running CM6 the stable release. I've been using for well over 3 weeks. And since last sunday I couldn't receive my messages from anybody. Then the last two nights I went completely desperate because I lost my internet connection. Even though the town I'm living in has 3G but whenever I go into the browser It'd keep saying "No internet connect". Plus I don't see the 3G icon appear on the bar anymore. So I went check my wireless and networks settings. "Data Enabled" is checked. So I rebooted my phone. Nothing changed. I did a factory reset which completely erase everything. It took me to stock CM6 after I did that btw. I tried to use ROM Manager to restore the back up ROM but then found out I had no ROM to load. How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashV2010:
Go into your Clockwork recovery and fix permissions.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyq12:
Thank you so much bro. I was wondering the same thing...19??? But I didn't realize that even a failed backup will create a file. I guess I kept trying to nandroid but would fail and it was creating a file at the same time. I do have a 2gig sd card and need to clear some things up because I can't nandroid.

From what I've been told, I need a good amount of space to do a backup. So anyways...thanks for the info and quick reply.

I will not be deleting the nandroid folder. :)

Another thing...what should I delete??? SD/nandroid/HT995HF00587/BCDEMRS-

I keep getting multiple notifications for my Hotmail account. I get a notification, read/delete the email, and then anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour later the email reappears, with another notification. Any reason for this or anything I can do to fix it?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wjason:
/HT995HF00587 is the name of your device and thats the folder that stores your nandroids. Leave the folder there and delete the backups you don't need (the BCDEMRS folders).

Actually, if they are deleted the folder will reform when a nandroid is made again

ROM Manager refuses to download

Hello,

I installed Universal Androot on my phone, executed it, and now have Superuser Permission. That said, for some reason, ROM Manager will not download on my phone.

I have a rooted HTC Hero Sprint flashed to MetroPCS, using Android 1.5

If I use the official ROM in the Sprint website (htc_sprint_hero_mr_2.27.651.6.exe) to upgrade Android to 2.1, and use the same prl that's in my phone right now (02004), do I loose the "flashed to MetroPCS" functionality?

does the ROM affect the carrier settings on the phone?

will i be able to make calls sms web after the ROM change?

adw launcher

hey impaler, looking for a little more help on the launcher. i posted this yesterday to no avail, so i'll give it another shot :) i downloaded the newest adw launcher from the market, so now is it safe to remove the adw that came with cm6 which is named com.android.launcher ? hoping so, it should free up a little space and now when there's an update for adw i'll see it. thanks again for all the help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Hmm.... the system app should be named ADW launcher or something of the sort.... and if you want to check out my theme, it has a faster/newest version of ADW :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Interesting. After I downloaded the new adw, when I pressed the home button, the old one read com.android.launcher, and the new one was adw.launcher... Looked at your theme and I really liked parts of it, especially the circle batt, but I really like the theme kapow that I have. So, should I try to rename the old launcher or can I simply delete it? Any insight would help. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
You can probably delete it, and it you like the task bar and battery mod of my theme there's a separate download for just that, no themed apps :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
ok weird question, i really like all the mods your them comes with, just not the black and gold itself, BUT... i know with the adw launcher settings i can choose to not use the them icons and still apply the theme, and i can change the wallpaper, so with this theme would i have those options thru the launcher settings or not? if so, what would remain themed and non-customizable? the taskbar, widgets, or what?

also... where would the circle batt be found? i looked all over a month ago, even asked you and at the time there wasnt one for the hero, did you make it? thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
ok, i may try that. there are references in your theme post however about performance improvements (to cm6 i think) and also for adw. i assume i won't get those tasties if i just download the taskbar right? let me know, thx.

and to the link for the standalone batt, thx. however even tho theres a link for "braindead" users like me lol, i think i may be worse off than braindead, and a little to lazy and scared i'll eff it up.:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

Also, is there anyway to change the default color of the LED for CM? I changed it in Handcent, but that only changes the color of my texts (as it should), but I hate the orange LED for notifactions that CM does, it keeps making me think my battery is dead. :p

Was stuck on boot screen foreverrrrr. Finally pulled the battery and it loaded fine.. everything's reset though (google asking me to set everything up again). Why would that be when the nandroid was from today? And why is LauncherPro FCing (did that on last reboot, haven't gotten that far into this on yet)?

All apps are still there, but LauncherPro keeps FCing and theme looks like I just flashed CM for the first time. :(

I had the same problem. There was a writeup on either Gizmodo or LifeHacker about. Basically you need to make the image like 1.5x the resolution of your screen or something like that. Because of how the wallpaper is stretched across the three screens or something along those lines.
