I know running odex'ed ROM's are fully possible with OC kernels (I am currently running the odexed non-apps2sd version using Zen kernel).

IIRC, nfx stated the kernel in the first post is the same kernel as originally in this Sprint release -- just overclocked. Zen and Dec kernels are not the same.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Slowly awaits for the update
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
I am working on the update , the kernal just isnt going well for me , but beezy has taken on to make the kernel at 691 with UV. so as soon as I get it I will have a new package up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
All frickin' right!! :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Is there something in the ROM that identifies it as supporting only 691? I am using the Zenkernel from 8/12 with no perflock. I previously used your .6 Stock ROM, and could use either SetCPU or OC Widget to go to 710 and even 768. I didn't have to "set at boot" for either SetCPU or OC Widget.

Now with the .7 Stock ROM, OC Widget will only go to 691 and no higher. Set CPU will go to 710 and higher, but will not survive a reboot, even with "set at boot" option checked. You literally have to set max to 710 at every boot.

So I'm wondering if there is some internal ROM governor that is only allowing OC widget and SetCPU to autodetect 691 as the maximum supported? If so, would it be possible to have one for 710 or 768 since my phone can handle the overclock?

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
nohis is the problem I was running into with the new kernel , just like it doesnt want to do uv either, this is why I went to others for help on the issue. Its just taken time because we all have been burried in the wildfire froyo release. It just consumes so much time. I have been working 8 hours a day then putting in 12hours a night on froyo.

Sorry this is taken so long , but it will get done
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shilent:
I'm a soon to be Hero owner and will be rooting my phone. I find the Hero a little sluggish and would like it to be less laggy. Would installing this ROM be the answer to this? Also do I want the Deoxed or the Odex? What's the difference?

Sorry if this has been discussed but I just spent the last few days reading about this and it's getting overwhelming.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Impaler gave a good answer. To answer your first question, YES, this ROM would make your Hero a lot less sluggish :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] garbs11:
OK i am completely new to this whole thing, and am just beginning to understand a little bit about what can be done to fix my hero. I just updated to 2.31.651.7 and am looking to clear up space( get rid of sprint tv etc) How do I go about installing this on my phone and which one do i want to go with?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Is there a way to get a voice keyboard on the odex version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrGreg:
I have this exact same issue. Odex w/o A2SD, works great until I flash the kernel in the first post, then the phone hangs on the HTC screen.

Just letting you know for info. I'll just stick with the stock kernel. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
dude take your time bro no rush here odex working great no rush for a kernel but would be nice

Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shilent:
Awesome, so in order to speed up my hero, have wifi tethering, uninstall Sprint bloatware, install apps to SD card, while keeping everything looking like stock, I would choose the ODEX with A2SD correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bsmith1051:
Do we know yet what's actually different in the new .7 release? 'Just' an updated kernel? (And, even then what's different in it?) I know the .7 release was generally supposed to fix lag in the dialer and maybe other probs, but what did they do to accomplish that? If all they did was adjust the default memory mgmt settings in the kernel, AutoKiller (which requires root) already does that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
To answer bsmith1051, there is actually a lot that is different/updated on this rom. I don't exactly know what but I would think it is more optimized than the previous update, and the reason why I know this is because I am doing side by side comparisons on size and there are many apk files in this one that are smaller or bigger than the previous versions.

Also I wanted to ask the OP if these apk's should be compatible with previous versions of 2.1RUUs for the hero, because I would like to bake as much of this into my current rom as possible (SouthPaw! V2.0-beta4, based on Cellular South stock 2.1RUU)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
sup impaler got a question for you broski, im using the regular odex version, can i hit up the darktremor thread and get that apps2sd zip and flash it on this rom, how can i get apps2sd working without having to reflash a rom? will the darktremor zip work on the latest stock odex?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
It should work as the busybox parts are already included in the kernel. you shouldnt have any issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
ok ill give it a shot thanks man. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 agreed, I've never had problems with it the couple time I used it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Cool, let us know how it goes or if there's any issues :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Which kernal can I use with this? The one included on the main post makes my phone hang at boot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
ok im getting some issues, its saying sd card not mounted when i run /system/bin/a2sd reinstall im trying to move all my apps to my ext3 partition but its saying my rom may not be set up to use a2sd? any suggestions
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
This is my 3rd time flashing an A2SD version of this ROM, and A2SD still isn't working for me. I don't really know how to get it to work either.

I did a total wipe, dalvik, reformatted ext partition, etc. then flashed the ODEX version, with A2SD

Then I restored all my apps with mybackup pro

Available space 49 MB.

How can I go about getting A2SD to work and moving my apps over?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] glen4cindy:
Okay. Let me ask 1 question.

I might have goofed.

I flashed the ODEX version to my Hero, but, I forgot to wipe first.

Everything seems to be working fine so far, but, am I ok or do I need to wipe and re-flash?

Also, I used the CMD window and adb push command to place the .zip file onto the SD card, and then the adb shell to do my reboot recovery. Is there an easier way to put the file onto the SD card?

How do I reboot into recovery directly from the phone?

Thanks. I searched reboot recovery but there are 1000's of matches!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joehunni:
While powered off, hold home button + power button.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Does anyone know if dark Envy 2.0 works with this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jauger:
I installed the latest apps2sd then adb shell a2sd repair then a2sd cachesd

Mobile network settings

I have "enable always-on mobile data" unchecked so I can have enough juice to last a 15 hour day. Just noticed that the data connection (icon at the top) still stays on during extended periods of non-use. Anyone else have this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Go into Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile network, and turn off the Internet connection.

If that doesn't work then do a reboot.

Have the non-a2sd versions been optimized or updated?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DubsideWICKED:
can i get a apk an how to for apps2sd i cant get it to work file seems small when i download it so i got the odex with out it. need help grr lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
not yet it is on my list of things to do. Hoping by the end of the weekend
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Just download one of the new a2sd version posted adn flash that should take care of your issues of not getting it to work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rob_ec:
awsome!im downloading now will post results in a couple days =]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ozzie1p:
Thanks for your work nfinite! Can you flash the a2sd version on top of the previous version? (lazy...don't want to re-download apps)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Make a backup it will wipe, I did this because some of the issues I found was due to incomplete wipes, so I made the install wipe correctly in order to insure a correct install
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scout7:
Ok, I started out by doing a full wipe and repartitioned the sd. converted ext2 to ext3.

Then I flashed the update and came up with 88Mb free. Tried A2SD repair and A2sdcache, still same. Went back and flashed latest A2SD, still had only 88Mb free internal. Did A2SD repair and came back up with 151MB free. This A2sd has given me fits till now. I could never get it to work till now. I just hope no one else has problems like i have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slow27:
just downloaded the ODEXED version with no ap2sd. i wiped, then flashed and im still not able to downloading anything from the market. i searched this thread and havent seen any solutions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
then you have a bad flash as that is exactly what you would have gotten from sprint, the only added thing on that is root, busybox,su, and dalvik moved to cache. So ther only way it is not working is if

1 you didnt wipe everything

2 bad flash

3 corrupted download

otherwise is should work perfectly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slow27:
sorry about that. got it working now! couldnt do another post due to anti spam :P

thanks again nfin!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Question!

With this new Memory Tweak,

Memory Tweak Settings "1536,2048,4096,5120,11264,12288"

I'm guessing we should not use AutoKiller then? And if we do wish to use AutoKiller, should we delete 06memtweak?

Also, I think it would be a good idea to add an MD5 checksum to each new release so we know for sure if we have a non-currupt download.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes if you want to use a memery tweaker then delete that file

and I do agree with teh md5 and if I wasnt spending 10 to 12 hours working on the roms at the moment I would do this, I will eventually add this but currently I dont even have time to just relax. I mean I could but we the dev team for the froyo have all been wantinng to get it up an running, so we are all pushing it as hard as we can.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Lol I think you're confused, too. He has 3 ROMs now.

Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed

NFX-Hero

and now this

NFX Sprint 2.31.651.7 STOCK

I thought the first one was also just a stock from Sprint with root and a couple added extra's. Hence, my question.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziaodix:
I'm not confused. In theory this is just an updated version of his .6, which is an updated version to the .5 stock. Technically they're all "stock". NFX is his "non-stock"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jxr94:
So what kind of free space we looking at upon boot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skanndelus:
lol someone tell me if i will lose all my data if i flash this or if it acts like a patch
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziaodix:
You will lose your data if you wipe before flashing, and yes this is a full ROM, but I am unaware if this is safe to flash over previous version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Well OK, but I'll just leave this here.

So this is not just an updated version of his .6
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
The OP says this is Sprint's .7 release, complete from the factory, with the addition of these things Sprint does not include:

Rooted

Busybox

A2SD (apps 2 sdcard)

SU

wireless tether
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziaodix:
I understand he stated he's going to be keeping the .6 & .7 stock versions separate but technically .7 is an update to .6, like .6 was an update to .5.

So technically, yes. He has 3 separate ROMs. So I'll quit arguing and allow nfinitefx45 to figure out the issue and upload his sexiness for us to enjoy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mozman:
If you wipe you will lose your data, but if you are worried about contacts and appointments, that is all backed up on Google and will go right back onto your phone once you sign in from the initial set up.

nfinite would know best if wipe is required, but it is usually suggested to wipe everything and then flash a new ROM.

Is there any other data you are worried about?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skanndelus:
can someone confirm i can flash this over stock .5 without a wipe? thx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
dont flash it yet I am working on an issue that is being caused by A2SD it is failing so give me a few I am tracking the issues down
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziaodix:
Take you time, I'm a fan of your stock images.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skanndelus:
gotcha, it wouldn't let me finish flashing it anyways
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joehunni:
Simply can't wait to flash this!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
i cant enable wifi with this, for some reason. just says 'unable to start wifi'.

fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skanndelus:
happened to me too, even though i got an error when flashing this, it seemed to take effect anyways, killed the wifi also
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Can't wait for this stable release :D I would love to have reduced dialer lag and whatever else was tweaked.

Has anyone tried using Firerat's custom MTD partitions with nfinite's ROMs? I'm thinking of using this instead of A2SD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skanndelus:
ditto! hopefully i can flash the fix over this one and get the wifi back :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
i tried universal androot on the official and it says something about failed no fu goo

whats this mean and how long till this is possible? if possible? thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
ok I will be posting new versions in about 20minutes I had to remove A2sd on both at the moment there is an error that I can not figure out at this point
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
How would this new update compare to your other Nfx hero Rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beezy420:
I would say it great nadroid and try it.Nfin has worked his a** off to make things as optimal as possible.Give it a run and i think you'll see the difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
:( well that makes 2 of us. I dl'd and flashed the odex with a2sd (from the mirror) on my sisters hero tonight. Everything seems to work fine with exception to gtalk (can't sign in) and the market (can't start dl's). I tried everything I could think; updated prl and profile, wiped cache and dalvik, rolled back market update. I'll try again some time this weekend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Sweet thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
Any recommended kernels? Or use stock
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beezy420:
Id run it the way he has it and then adjust to your liking.:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] indiscriminant:
I have had this rom running for awhile, and had that happen to me once as well. Just stopped working, couldn't sign into google talk which was the reason I couldn't use the market.

I had appbrain on my phone though and pushed a download from the website and all the sudden it started working. Had tried wiping cache, rebooting phone, etc with no results until then.

Not sure what to do if you don't already have appbrain loaded though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
well try the new one that is posted today even though it has a2sd it wont have any effect if you dont have your sdcard setup for it and see if everything on that works for you, I will pull the download as soon as I can and give it a run thru to make sure there hasnt been an issue that wasnt caught.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] creata.physics:
some help guys, i flashed to this rom, but somehow my phone got deactivated, so i cannot download rommanger, i have it on the sd card, i just cant get to it. any ideas?

If I install the newest apps 2sd do I need to remove the 06memtweak if the kernel I use has mem management built in?

Try Stable #6 from Decandence - works great with the odex rom.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Ok, don’t anyone take this meanly but seriously why do I waste my time optimizing a rom when people flash it and think it needs other stuff flash right over it, this is set to 691 OC with UV on the newest kernel from HTC runs fast, no lag, currently sitting at 14hours up time with 1hour an 40 minutes run time with everything on and 72% battery left . what more does anyone want, yesterday ran the phone constantly and when I say that 16 hours uptime with 14 hours of runtime and battery down to 13%.

All I am saying is give it a run before tweaking so you get a base line of what the phone is at before tweaking this way you can actually know if something is helping or hurting the performance.

Besides remember this was quite well optimized from sprint to start with.

Just trying to help people understand that I try to make it so you can flash and go.

Ok everyone enjoy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I totally don't think you are wasting your time, as a matter of fact I very much love the stuff you do. Of all the custom Hero roms out in wild I'm running this one (non A2SD odex version) and am very happy with it, everything 'just works'.

I'd prefer not to mess with tweaking your stuff either, just as you say but if I am remembering correctly the version I am running is using the stock HTC 528mHz kernel which is pretty darn slow considering mine plays nice at 768 and most others do well at 691. Installing Dec's kernel is the only tweak I've done (none of the ones listed in the OP will work with the odex version BTW), heck I've even left the stupid bloatware on there because I still have 85mb of internal storage left with 30 apps installed, nice!

As I understand it though you are planning to release a tweaked version of this with an updated 691 kernel (no perf lock) and optimized & zip aligned, correct? That sir will be the bomb!

Thanks for all you do, I love your stuff. Remember though we are all here because we are hackers at heart and trying new stuff is sometimes just plain fun :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scout7:
I thank you for all your efforts, they make my gadget addiction much more enjoyable and I hope you can enjoy a small donation.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
I completely agree just sometimes you need to get a baseline of where you at in standings before hacking, Hey I hack things more then most probably, so I think it should be customized to eeryone own liking. I just wished people would run the product first then start hacking this way I dont end up with a million questions saying why doesnt this work. It is good to always be familiar with what you have first this way when something breaks you already know what broke it. It just makes my life and there life better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Thank you kind Sir , Greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
I am just a bit curious, why are some folks installing the rom without Apps2SD? Thats what frees up a ton of room on these sense roms. I guess im just really wondering if there is something wrong with the apps2sd roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
I must say im running the odex with no apps2sd and it is also working flawless. my kernel is at 528 but my phone doesn't really lag no tweaks just stock kernel although i kinda need a2sd so i will be flashing the odex with a2sd hopefully it runs as good as the one without? is with a2sd the one thats 691? or is it the deodexed?

Howdy. Have been watching this thread waiting for the update.

Was on your previous .6 ODEX version.

Nandroided and ran the ODEX with A2SD Update2.

Installed without a hitch. But, Quick System Info says I only have 39MB of Internal Storage. Sounds like A2SD didn't install properly, eh?

Thoughts? Thanks!

Eph
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Suppose I want to run my Dalvik from internal because my SD is class 6, but not that great. I would delete File #1, reboot, and run adb shell and a2sd nocachepart command to set a2sd to leave Dalvick internal right?

Also, if I like to run Autokiller, I need to remove File #2 right? Then again, your memory tweak settings represent the "optimum" preset in AutoKiller I think.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Wow I have had such issues out of the A2sd anymore , I dont understand but with a fresh install after wiping it should be 133 even with out apps2sd running so something doesnt sound right to me. I am so ready to revert back to the older apps2sd as this just seems to be an issue with me anymore. I will work on it today, I wonder if the latest busybox is the issue, well thanks for letting my know
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
no right now the dalvik is in the cache partition internal so just leave it the way it is, this gives the most free room on the data partition internal, only remove that file if you want you dlvik to go to sdcard. after you remove the file you could use a2sd tou move the file to sdcard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Ok, so it appears a2sd isnt working, thats why everyone is opting for the one without a2sd. Well, I really would like to try this rom but I am pretty darn sure that all of my apps wont fit without a2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outer Marker:
Gotcha. What about AutoKiller? any sense in using that since you have already optimized memory settings? Will using AutoKiller whack things?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
try it without and see how it goes but these settings should keep you running very smooth
