thats weird im currently using a zenkernel that i flashed over the darch kernel vuv2 and swype runs great! i've never had any dragging or lags at all...i install my swype as a system app though to save mem for other apps so that might have something to do with it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ruizma:
Will the kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705074 work with this Stock ROM???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
it will probably work but it will not have the improvements that are in the new kernel for moth smoothness, adn battery life
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Upgrading from your .6 version as we speak. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
What version of apps2sd is in this? 2.7.5.1?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joehunni:
Can't wait til this has been fully optimized like the .6 version, still the best though regardless.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes I have had a few issues with it , if you check a few posts back (about 2 pages) there is a way to fix it if you are having an issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ozzie1p:
Finally got things working and digging this rom, thanks nfinite. I prefer the kernel nfinite provided, but experience random reboots with it. Anybody, else getting that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
you da man broski

I havent been on a sense rom, well since lol aosp was first introduced to our heros, this is the first time in months. And over the past year i have been talking so much crap about sense roms and how aosp is better, and once again but its been a really long time since ive had one and i have to say what they hell was i thinking. I dont remember sense being so good, why did i ever leave, i mean the aosp roms are good but none of them really have that good of battery life, and gps probs and wake locks, and i could go on. I been trying to push my hero to do what it couldnt, but i have to say im back to 2.1 and i love sense again, the widgets are amazing the speed is great and im not even using a diff kernel. the biggest for me was battery life, with any aosp i couldnt ever get over 8 hours off a full charge, i have been using this rom for about 35 hours and my battery died at like 22 hours and thats with alot of usage. once u pull out all the bloat ware and junk stock sense roms rule. I left cm6 and all other aosp roms to come back to this, no jit, no battery tweaks nothing but a stock rooted rom. Thank you for bringing me back to my senses (pun intended) man i am in love with sense roms again. Thanks for posting this thread nfinite or i would have never discovered how great it is. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well I am very happy that you are happy (god that sounds corny) but seriously glad that it is all you didnt exspect it to be. LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
yeah dude its great bro, i never used a sense 2.1 rom last one i used was 1.5 fresh i dont remember sense being so snappy, lol but much appreciated. I do have a few questions though, what could u recommend to add to this stock rom. I was kinda hesitant to flash the perf kernel(what the hell is perf) since everything was going so smooth. speed and battery seem to be fine although if im correct this isnt overclocked or anything right, is this just a plain ol stock rom? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
that depends did you do the plain janes or the a2sd ones the a2sd ones have overclock build in but set to ondemand. and only upto 691
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
i dont really care for apps2sd its ok, should i flash that perf kernel in the OP?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
well it will reduce battery life slightly , other then that and a speed increase it is up to you , just nandroid first as some have said they had issue with wifi
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darrick913:
I flashed the a2sd but it seems that the apps are not on the card but in phones memory. Memory before app install was 96... after install of about 40 apps it went to 54... should I reflash or is this normal?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Whats up brother , no it was a issue with the latest a2sd instll , I will be posting a revised edition later today or tomorrow , I have just been a little overwhelmed with the froyo port
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
alright kool man thanks for all ur help peace out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darrick913:
Ok thanks nfinite
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guitardoc64:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] metal666fukhead:
Are the files in data/dalvik-cache just symlinks to cache/dalvik-cache?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
nowouldnt work, had to use a bind-o command, similar to symlink but unbreakable by the file system
[Hero CDMA Android Development] metal666fukhead:
So is there actually mem being taken up in data/dalvik-cache?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
not from dalvik it is in cache partition, but every program installed uses datat\data for storing informationso even thoough apps may be on sdcard adn dalvik in cache the information produced is still in data partition so it will with time grow smaller and the more apps you add the faster this process can happen. This is why we had to go to extreams to get as much area as possible in data. This is a design flaw that is why the hero and others with the same memory sizes (Eris) have had such problems with performance.

I hope I explained it well enough to help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] metal666fukhead:
that explained it perfectly thank you very much! you wouldnt happen to know what download.apk and download-1.apk in the cache folder are and if they're safe to delete would you??

installed the deodexed ver wanted a2sd after install and 5 apps had 90mb reaplied Darktremor Apps2SD now i have 149mb looks like working thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cali310:
Anyone else having probs installing pdanet 2.42? It says it installed on the phone but doesn't.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DubsideWICKED:
slightly lost

Simple ? What do I want deodexed or odex? What's better/faster? An some pros an cons of the 2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] viagra1007:
Hi there,

I just installed the deodexed with a2sd, and flashed the ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 no perf lock. However, Zen states that it will scale up to 768mhz if the rom has built in overclock.

Question, will this rom scale up to 768 mhz? Because I don't wish to use SetCPU and after flashing the kernel I noticed a huge speed improvement. I just want to know if it is really clocking up to 768mhz.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes it wil scale up to 768, right know it is probable at 691 or 710
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
odex, quicker uses a little less memory and dalvik, but no themes or mods can be done easily

deodex a little slower does consume more dalvik, but is a theme/modders dream
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DubsideWICKED:
is sprints stock rom naturally deodexed or odex
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Odex, as deodex would imply rooting :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] viagra1007:
So what you mean is that if I just use your rom and flash the Zen kernel with no perf lock. I don't need to install SetCpu, and will get by default clocks to up 691 - 710?

Sorry for asking so much, I just want to make sure I don't need the SetCpu.apk, as I don't like it too much.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Now that this is a new RUU, will I still be able to use the same mods I have been using for .6?

Namely, I really like the following mods by JsChiSurf and have been using them on your .6 stock de-odex:

-Htc Dialer WITHOUT Haptic Feedback

-no GPS icon in status bar

-Remove 'End Call' Soft Key While Call is in Progress
[Hero CDMA Android Development] viagra1007:
I know this is a stock rom, but I have a big doubt and after several weeks of searching with no avail I do really have to post the question here.

I want to have some apps running from the phone internal memory and others to install to the sd card as a2sd would normally would. I know that a2sd enables automatically after partitioning the sd card with ext3 partition.

But after rom install, there are some apps that are very important for me to run the smoothest possible, say Handcents SMS, HtcDialer, etc, which I want to be installed or move them manually to phone's internal memory. And so, the rest of apps installed to sd card.

I ask because Cyanogenmod this is possible, there's a feature for it. But as I dont want that rom, I dont care using adb shell and doing it manually.

I just really want to setup some apps to internal phone memory and others, or the rest to a2sd.

Please help, I know you know this. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
Why not try them and report? I mean, isn't that what the dev would do? And you'd be offloading the dev some for the purpose of testing something that you're probably more interested than the dev is ... right? :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scout7:
A2SD working?

I'm running Deoxed without A2SD. I'm not able to install the latest A2SD nor could i get the deoxed w/ A2SD to work. Will there be a fix or will it be a new rom to flash?

Great work, only rom I use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Just curious, what aversion do you have against using SetCPU? Unless you utilize one of the clockspeed-regulating apps, you're at the mercy of whatever speed your kernel is preset to run at. Heck, you don't even know what speed you're running at right now, lol.

SetCPU gives you some very nice control over clock speed ... go ahead and take advantage of it, dude. I've been using it since Day 1 on every rom-and-kernel combination I've ever tried, simply because I don't care to run any kernel's preset values. I use an OC'd kernel just to give me the ability to OC ... I use SetCPU to tailor my phone's speeds to exactly what I want.

I guess my question is, what exactly do you have against SetCPU? Just curious, not meaning to be argumentative...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I wouldn't mind trying them out and nandroiding back if some don't work, however even if they appear to work without issue, they might actually break some of the improvements introduced in the .7 update (e.g., reduced dialer lag, since some of the mods I listed do modify Dialer.apk and such)... so I figured if anyone knew, it would be nfinitefx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] metal666fukhead:
Just wondering if anyone can tell me what what the files download.apk, download-1.apk, etc. inside the cache folder off root are? And if can I remove them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] viagra1007:
Hahah funny how you twisted a single phrase. Aversion... not.

I love the idea of having more ram (even thou setcpu may not consume anything at all, but ''hey, that's just me''). :) Also, what I should've asked is if this rom had built in overclocking. Because in that case setcpu will not be necessary.

***ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 no perf lock

''It has perf lock disabled to allow full overclocking with out the need use setcpu to disable perf lock. The clock speeds will stay at what ever the target rom uses unless you running a rom with no overclock built in. If so it will scale from 19mhz to 768mhz.''

^^^

I just needed to know if this rom allowed overclocking even thou is a stock one.

Cheers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
I wasn't twisting anything. An aversion is a dislike. Reread your original text.

Having overclocking, and having control over overclocking, are two different things. Raw overclocking is not necessarily desirable if I have no control over it. My battery won't last as long at 691 mhz as it will at 528 mhz, but I desire snappier performance than the factory 528 mhz speed can deliver. So I've got SetCPU configured to max out at 614 mhz, which gives me the balance of performance versus battery life that I desire. But just try to find a custom kernel that runs at 614 mhz, lol.

You're right, the ability to tailor my speeds costs me 200k of app memory space (which is the amount of storage space the SetCPU app consumes). But I'm willing to pay that price for the empowerment it gives me. Besides, I've got my apps on the sd card, where I've got LOTS of room, so I don't feel the cost of 200k of space, lol.

Best of luck with whatever you decide, friend. I was just trying to be helpful.

Carry on! :)

I'm new to smart phones, having just bought my first one(A SPRINT

HTC HERO). I'm wanting to root mine. It's this same build, and I'd like to use this Rom. I just need some instructions on how to do it. Please help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pbp776:
Cache folder is for your cache for Market download and email attachments. So you can delete them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] viagra1007:
I tried the Setcpu with the profiles thing, and it sucked. Period. I like the non setcpu kernel better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Care to elaborate? What sucked about it? Did something not work the way you wanted?

We're just trying to help you out. It's just incredibly perplexing because any negative comment about it, let alone someone saying it sucks, is almost unheard of. I don't think I can find a negative review even if I tried to! (excluding the "this won't work on my device running <insert super obscure custom ROM and kernel here>" comments) This is seriously mind boggling and I would like to hear your detailed feedback, if you don't mind.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] metal666fukhead:
Sweet thank you very much I've been wondering what those were for a while now as I've seen it get as high as download-9.apk and the only time they seem to go away is when a new rom is flashed that's why I was curious if they could be deleted or not
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
What's the speed/stability of this compared to Nfinite's other rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pbp776:
C00ller, I have modified HTC Dialer, No GPS and No battery and End Call on the new .7 files my own by comparing JsChiSurf modified files from .6 to .7. So far everything is good since three days. I don't see any lag. Then again, I never did see any lag in first place with .5,.6 or .7. b/c of OC, I guess. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Cool, thanks for the info :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
I'm a lil late but you get that if you don't have enough battery. That always happens to me when my battery is low. Just let it charge for a bit. I usually just leave it charging and come back whenever I actually remember... haha.. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bimmer95:
Can anyone compile a tun.ko module for this ROM or provide a link to the kernel source so that one can be compiled? I'm running the .6 ROM now and have Cisco IPSEC VPN working, I'd like to upgrade, but I don't want to break VPN as I use it for work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyneuenschwander:
I have to say that I am getting significantly better battery life with this rom, definitely better than any other sense rom and also better than cm6 with the Collins battery tweak. All I've done as far as settings go is turn off background data, which I do on all all time, and I'm getting wicked battery life. Many thanks for this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Hey nfinite, speaking of which, do you have any plans of ever releasing a UV'd kernel for this rom? Would it be much of a chore to whip up a UV'd equivalent of the 691 custom kernel you have in your first post?

I think that would make for an absolutely unbeatable combination of great rom and unmatched battery life!

Hey, just sayin'! :)

In any case, thanks for all you've done, nfinite!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
+1, especially after hearing from the amazing reports this ROM + kernel combo is yielding.

I wish undervolted kernels were standard. Wait, that would simply make undervolt the new "standard" volt... anyway you know what I mean :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well once I get kernels down I would do that still a weak point for me, but I will see if beezy, or decad3nce will hook me up with one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scout7:
How about that fix for App 2 SD??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Kernel is beeing worked on, as soon as that is complete I will have an revised rom out that will fix the apps2sd and hopefully have 691, no perf and uV

Oh and incase you havent noticed I am working on other things also, adn there is only so many hours in a day. Sorry it has taken a while but I can only go so fast
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Flash the latest dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-signed.zip, run a2sd repair and a2sd cachesd, and your phone is fixed! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bsmith1051:
Is the internal memory shared for both app-storage AND running processes? I had assumed they were separate memory pools.

I monitor my Running Services pretty closely and I can see the memory mgmt only trying to maintain about 18 MB free. The phone starts to lag if there's less than that so I would like to see more available, e.g. 30 MB! Would implementing A2SD achieve this? Again, I was under the impression that it would not. Other threads have specifically stated that A2SD has nothing at all to do with performance and instead is intended to make it easier to switch ROMs by maintaining all your installed apps on the SD card (apart from the memory you need to flash when changing ROMs).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scout7:
And Thanks to both,

I'll try the fix or the new rom, whichever i get to first.

I have great respect for your work and efforts,

thanks again...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Link please? Also, do you run the a2sd repair from the adb shell? Do you need any mount commands first?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715116

Yes, run a2sd commands from the adb shell, no mount commands are needed.

IIRC, phone should reboot after each command is completed, so you'll have to endure a couple of reboots before all is said and done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] metal666fukhead:
Take all the time u need nfinite! I think everyone is so spoiled by all your extraordinary work that they sometimes forget just how much you do for this community...THANKS NFINITE!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junkshow:
FWIW, I installed Decad3nce's Stable #6 from the BrainFuct thread on this ROM, and so far it is working very well. His kernel uses the HTC synaptics drivers and the Koush's anykernel update.zip. The only thing not working for me is the trackball backlight. Everything else is working well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I may give that kernel a shot. I flashed the odex version just to update my PRL (was running CM6) and found out that I actually kinda sorta like Sense :rolleyes:, this rom runs really smooth.

So, I started going for speed and flashed the 691 kernel from the OP and the phone wouldn't boot, just hung on the HTC screen for 15 minutes. I tried both the standard and UV Zen AnyKernel and had the same issue.

I wiped the Dalvik prior to flashing them. Is it because of the Odex version? Something else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
I flashed the ZenKernel noperf lock from 8/12 on this ROM, and OC widget shows 691 when overclocked. When I had the .6 version of the ROM, OC Widget allowed me to go to 710 and 768 as well. Is this ROM capped at 691?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thomaschila:
Thanks for a great ROM. I flashed this on my wife's hero and she's loving it :) apps2d worked right off the bat when i installed it. But I did install the newest apps2sd zip after installing your rom and then moved dalvik to sd. All went smooth and had no problems. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to your 2.2 developments
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
No, the rom isn't capped at any particular speed. If you're running one of the Zenkernels the OC app should allow you to set whatever clock speed you want, even though the kernel boots at 691.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Hmmmm, maybe I'll try re-flashing, because I can't get it to go higher than 691 :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n01un0:
Hey Nfinite. I have been using one of your older versions, I think .4 or .5 and have not been keeping up with this thread for some time. It seems you have made a lot of changes and advancements with the ROM so I am thinking of updating. On one hero I have Odex and the other is Deoxed and I think both have one of the Zen kernals. I can't remember exactly which version of ROM and Kernal are on both (phone says kernal: 2.6.29 jason@bluecove #2 and I think it is Zenkernal-HTC-08122010-noperflock).

All I know is both have worked awesome for months....... so if it's not broke, I don't fix, lol.

Anyway, I tried to do the OTA Sprint update they just notified me of and had issues so I figured it was time to check back in and see what I need to do to get the latest and greatest.

Is everything on the front page the most current?

Do I need to install the separate kernal that is listed or is there one already built into one of the versions. I think I am going to do Odexed on both, if that helps.

Lastly, I am guessing I need to do a factory reset and davlik wipe for best results right?

Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
Has anyone noticed if you still have the problem downloading pictures and attachments with SMS, with this ROM? (that was a problem with sprint I believe)

Does anyone know the differences or additions to .7, up from .6?

Radio, Hepatic feedback, Etc.????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
no there will be an update eitehr tomorrow or the following day just have to finish up the new kernel and then it will be posted
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justdreamin:
This same thing happened for me. I want in the worst way to use one of these roms but the only thing my phone seems to like is the 1.5 it came with. When I use this rom without flashing anything else (kernal) I get 100% awake time...wiped everything blablabla ;-(

PS...thanks for all your hard work!!! Just cause it doesn't work for me doesn't mean I don't have a TON of RESPECT for your abilities!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Did you actually format your sdcard asa it will have left over config files from 1.5 on it and they will clash with 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Yeah, I'm thinking you can't run the performance kernels on the odex rom. Bummer, deodex just doesn't do it for me as I don't use A2SD.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bodyshop:
is the script to block over the air uodates included or does it need to be ran again after we flash?

Is the media attachment glitch (downloading pictures via SMS) fixed?

I was using the .6 version, the one before you added JIT. It was working flawlessly. Do you know what bugs have been fixed in the .7 version, so I can decide if its even worth me flashing this new updated ROM.

Like you say if it aint broke don't fix it. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junkshow:
I'm running decad3nce's stable #6 on the odex version, so it is possible, at least on some phones.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whiteonline:
I noticed this as well using the non-apps2sd odexed version. There appears to be a conflict between the busybox versions in the kernel in the first post and above mentioned Rom.

Anyone know of a workaround so I can use this latest kernel from HTC overclocked? I don't care for apps2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
See the post right above yours, I just flashed that kernel and the phone booted right up! Gonna go play with it now......

Thanks junkshow.

EDIT

Got Odex running with Dec's #6 kernel, nice! Can someone help me with instructions on installing the AOSP voice keyboard on this?
