Did you install gapps?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus10o:
Like the guy said above... You install gapps (google apps). It is a separate download, usually located in the same post as CM6. Flash it like you would a rom. It will install all google apps (market, gmail, and so on including the files for google to work). Google apps can not be included in an AOSP rom by legal means if there is any changes within the rom (such as cm6).

But once you get gapps installed, all you do is sign into your google account and it will auto sync contacts, email, and calendar. Also market will show all paid apps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkokkos:
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?type=gapps here are the gapps you need the mdi version...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbbamafan:
Ok - things are getting better. Here is what I have done.

I downloaded Google Apps. I also copied / synced my contacts from Outlook to Google Mail. I really prefer them just on Outlook because it seems more secure. Anyway - I now have the contacts which beats not having them, even though it is not the way I wanted. I can live with it I guess.

The Charter email is still VERY important to me, if someone can help with that.

Also can somebody refer me to a good (hopefully free) clock and weather widget - hopefully similar to the one that was on Sense. Separate widgets is fine.

Thanks again.

Its OK to feel screwed, but your anger is directed to cm6 and not sprint! Sprint is the one who I am feeling screwed by, they still sell this phone full price online but refuse to support like the full priced phones are getting :mad: Anyway, just flash gapps and then when you reboot from that you will be prompted to sign into gmail, the market will be there again, and after 5 or so minutes your contacts will be there. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Charter is a POP3 email correct? You will have to google "set up Charter email on outlook" use the settings it gives you for the email app in cm6. I know them for comcast but not charter, my comcast works fine on here
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbbamafan:
You are absolutely right about Sprint. I generally have had a good experience with them for years but they really stuck people wiht the Hero. I am just looking for a way to make it tolerable and then I will replace the phone. At this time I am looking at going back to Blackberry. Anyway, I did google the settings but it still doesnt work. Hopefully somebody has a Charter email account working that can tell me exactly what they had to do.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbbamafan:
Found exactly what i needed for charter email

Hopefully this will help somebody else with Charter Email on Android. I found it on another forum and it worked like a champ!

Here are the instructions and if you follow them to the letter, you will solve your Charter email problem and get the POP3 email setup properly:

"IGNORE what Charter said the address is for Incoming and Outbound. pop.charter.net and smtp.charter.net will ONLY allow you to RECEIVE, when you try to compose, reply, reply all, forward, you will get a error, and it will NOT go out.

the correct settings should be:

Mail Type: POP

Incoming Mail Server: mail.charterinternet.com

Username: myusername@charter.net (first part of your email address DO NOT omit the @charter.net)

Password: whatever the password is to access the charter email account

Port: 110

Encryption: None

Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.charterinternet.com

Authentication: ON

Username: myusername@charter.net (first part of your email address DO NOT omit the @charter.net)

Password: whatever the password is to access the charter email account

Port: 25

Encryption: none"
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
the constant complaining about sprint and the hero is comical, its the equivalent of hiring a cleaning lady and expecting her to paint the whole house for 99 bucks. I paid less for the hero than I did my previous phone wich was the lotus. In other words if you dont like something break out your wallets and get the Evo. And of course dont for get to complain about the Evo too!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSpradlen:
+1 on xjayman. Read all the other posts on other carriers and phones. None is perfect, you got cheaper service with no signals, better signals but higher prices, crappy phones no support blah blah blah. Personally I love my phone, especially it being rooted. If you want sense based froyo wait for the wildfire port. If u want it now buy an evo. For all the things that cm6 doesn't have built in there is a widget you can get to make up for it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSpradlen:
Also, to make your phone look better check out the gold and black theme by Impaler, very nice!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbbamafan:
xjayman - I agree that you can't expect every feature from every phone. The issue with the Hero is it does not perform as promised - not even close. People were screwed that bought this - not because the didnt get the be all and end all to everybody but because the phone (as it was sold) failed to live up to the promises of Sprint and HTC because the lag was unbearable (God help you in a 911 situation) , the bluetooth doesnt work for $%#, and other basic failures to perform. You should have to pull out your wallet for the newest and the greatest - not to get what you were already promised.

That being said, since I rooted a couple of days ago, this thing is light years ahead of how it performed and what it could do when I bought it. I am not a phone techie and, as a result of having tight financial constraints, I had to spend many hours to learn how to root and load a rom, etc. so I could get the phone to do what it should have done 'out of the box'. That is where the resentment comes in.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armychris28210:
no, the price of the evo isnt a deterant...i just figured that i didnt want to carry a brick in my pocket...THAT THING IS HUGE. plus, as far as size and features, the hero

WAS

a mid to upper phone when alot of us got them. now with people being tied up in contracts and so forth, we are bound to this device< unless you just want to get a different phone off contract and switch> i think having a "custom" phone is far better.i love it when a evo owner is talking about, "MY PHONE DOES THIS AND THAT" and i am able to say mine does too, and its smaller, and less a month! Now if sprint offered the incredible or something smaller but more powerful,, i would prob beat my hero with a bat. im not being a ****, its just my reasoning...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkratter14:
Search for Fancy Widget 1.30 on 4shared.com, that'll give you a very good approximation of the Sense UI clock/weather widget.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bholoo:
For clock, use Retro clock. Small and handy. Or, use beautiful widgets. Not like sense, but they have a lot of cool options.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankcheeze:
This. And get LauncherPro Plus through the market or otherwise and you won't miss sense at all.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
It's not even that at this point. At this point it's like hiring a cleaning lady you know won't/can't paint your house, then complaining when she doesn't.

Anyone buying a hero recently (which isn't still "full price" anywhere, fyi) should know what they're getting into, or it's their own damn fault. These idiotic notions of "Sprint didn't tell us about all the problems" are just bizarre. You really expect HTC Hero commercials and the like to point out the fact that the phone is underpowered and thus laggy, and so on? Please.

That is what review sites are for. Same as cars, all other electronics, etc.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urwrstfear:
I asked the sprint store if the hero was thw best phone they have or if there is a new phone coming soon when I bought mine. They said its top of the line. 3 weeks later. The evo dropped. Called to complian because my phone stock is unusable. Yes unusable. And that there was a better phone out when I specifically asked and was told, no new phones would be out for awhile. They said hey no prob come on in and we can replace your hero for the evo. I said. Great be there Saturday. Showed up on. Saturday and was informed that Friday was my cutoff date and I would have to pay $449 to get a evo. Sprint sux so you jackasses saying its our fault can go stick a meatpole in their mouth.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westicle:
How come 90% of your posts are you *****ing? If you didn't like the hero you should have returned it. Its up to the consumer to research a product, and up to a salesperson to sell it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irving Cowboy:
Exactly. With the wealth of information there is at anyone's fingertips, it's incredibly ignorant for someone to blame the input of one salesperson for making them purchase something.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
Depending on the exact timing this might have been, officially, true. Sometimes official dates aren't announced until the phone is damn near out, despite the fact that the internet has known for months.

Even if not, it's just a mistake, not some conspiracy.

Again, the fact that you guys think these rebut the comments made by some of us shows just how bad the issue is.

Would it be nice if, in a perfect world, the 17 year old at the Sprint store had encyclopedic knowledge about every phone in the store, and every phone they were set to get, rumored or not? Maybe. Would it be nice if they also told the truth about every flaw the phone has? Maybe

However, again, people don't, and shouldn't expect that of most other things, so why phones? When you're spending $20,000 on a car do you take the salesman's word for everything? When you spend $3000 on a TV do you take the word of the kid Walmart tossed in the electronics department?

Why do people think they are absolved of all responsibility for their buying decisions? The tools are out there to learn everything you needed to know.

If you didn't know the hero was sluggish and outdated then you only have yourself to blame, because you could find that out with roughly 10 seconds of research. Hell, you could have googled "htc hero review" from the hero in the sprint store, and found out all the problems, not to mention noticed how long it took to do said research from the stock hero.

Also, how is your inability to read a calendar in any way, shape, or form their fault?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loosenuts:
Don't blame it on Sprint. Sprint didn't make that salesman to be there on Saturday. He made YOU to be there on Saturday for the swap or would have said something like "no Mis, today is the last day of the 30 day window you have to return / exchange so you have to come in today before we close or you will not be able to return or exchange your device." This is a case where the sales associate did not do or know his job or sadly both. Sprint knows their 30-day return policy, this is something you need to take up with that particular sales associate.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
It didn't say in there the sales person told him to come in Saturday. He went in the day after his 30 days were up. Who says the person even had his information there to look that up during that conversation?

Again the sales person COULD have been quick to realize "no wait, Saturday is one day too late!" However, as much as people want to play the "you can't blame the victim!" card, you need to know things yourself.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carreno_337:
Hey for the Clock/Weather widget you were saying I know 2 options. I use Fancy Widget it's very similar to the Sense UI one or you can also use the Weather & Toggle Widgets but that app costs and for the feel of the Sense you'll need to download the W7C Clock and Weather.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
I don't know if you know this or not, but CM6.1 is new and better and fastert and shinier and available, you should get it, also, I can't remember if CM6 had microsoft exchange as an email account option, but CM6.1 has it, great for my outlook email at work, also there is a setting so that you can sync your contacts, so go get the new version. And enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glen4cindy:
Did you ever get your Charter settings to work? I am rooted with CM6 and had to really play and tweak to get Charter working, but, they do have a great guide on the website for Android phone setup, and I finally got it working.

Assuming Charter Mail is the same in all markets, this is how you need to set your mail up. I used the E-Mail app in the app drawer for Charter Mail.

Incoming Settings.. IMAP server

Server: mobile.charter.net

Port: 993

Security: SSL

Outgoing Settings... SMTP server

Server: mobile.charter.net

Port: 587

Security: SSL

These are the instructions on the Charter website, and they are what is in my Hero running CM6, and they are working to send and receive mail. As long as the settings are the same for various markets, they should work for you too.

In light of IGN's article on what they'd like to see in GTA V, what would YOU like to see?
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
For myself, I would like to see the following things...

1. Another US city, preferably Philly, NO CALIFORNIA.

2. The ability to tow a car via helicopter

3. More air vehicles

4. Free mode multiplayer options such as lightened gravity or golden gun

5. More interactive buildings

6. The ability to reside where you want to

7. More mainstream classic rock (and an 80s station)

8. The return of the tank

9. Faster dying.

10. Custom characters.

I'm sure I'll have more later on...
[Off-topic] Alex530:

never mind i got it. nothing was working but found i can put it in download mode by using volume down and power button. flashed JFD the went to JI6. running smooth.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daweedk1991:
How many tries did it take you? I'm trying to get it into download mode but all i get is the screen with yellow and red letters :(
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
So, OCLF breaks the vibration on JI6 and while Ryan figures out the problem (I already gave him a logcat) I decided to remove it.

My verdict so far without running any lagfix whatsoever, stock JI6 and the stock kernel is that the phone is tons smoother than what it has ever been. If I didn't know better I could swear that a lagfix was installed solely based on my prior experiences before and after installing one.

Whatever Samsung did in JI6 really helped out. Now, if you run a quadrant you will still get scores within the 900s but that doesn't seem to have any bearing on how fast the phone runs.

I remember when running stock JFD that my phone would constantly freeze while even trying to wake it. Really embarrassing when trying to show off to your friends ;)

Anyhow, so far I'm really satisfied with just the stock rom, although I do have root. My only problem so far is the battery. I believe there is something wrong with the modem that it drains the battery way too fast. As a test, I have been streaming Pandora via Wi-Fi for 2 hours. The battery has only gone down 10%. While using 3G, that battery would have been decimated.

So, does anyone want to take a wild guess at what Samsung did to make JI6 faster? The UI doesn't seem to have been changed and it is still RFS.
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
Uh....decimated? As in reduced by 10%?

Sorry couldn't resist. No idea what's different.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
I was saying, that if I were using 3G the battery would have dropped well below 10%. The other day I was using 3G just to browse the web and the battery literally dropped to about 74% in 30 mins. That was when I was using Bionx 1.5 or 1.6.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cpt.Curry:
This a miui theme I compiled using rodriguez's rom framework. I had a lot of problems with the smooth green theme from xvenom89 over at the droid incredible forum and decided to port of parts of his theme + parts of rod's theme (such as a sweet lockscreen) + icons that I'd used in previous roms such as a different status bar icons like 3g, wifi etc... It is basically a green theme with a bit of color here and there. It should work on any miui rom, since I've only changed the framework, it should definitely work on a nexus and even a desire miui rom, since their frameworks are identical, it also has rounded buttons from the smooth green theme

Remember nandroid....these are all flashable zip files, which can be flashed from recovery, I've also included the original framework of rodriguez's rom which has the custom lockscreen and is identical to the stock miui rom except for the lockscreen, in case you wanna go back to the stock look and feel.

All I've done is copy and paste icons, the real credit should go to the devs such as rodriguez, xvenom89, djmcnz and ofcourse the miui team.

LINK FOR THE MODDED THEME: waiting on whether can post the theme or not

ORIGINAL STOCK LIKE THEME: http://www.multiupload.com/O3RW1NY9JB

made a new blue theme for all those people who like blue, changed the emoticons to the android stock emoticons, since they look better, I like to thank fllash over at the desire themes and app and riptide over at the evo 4g development and xvenom89 for the icons, also I did some of my own customization to put it all together, most of the stuff are themed. Again if you want to go back to stock just flash the original stock theme. Can't put any screenshots up right now. Nearly everything is themed blue, changed the status bar icons.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cpt.Curry:
I though so, with amon ra 1.70, the zip file has to be signed, this zip file isn't signed, I'd recommend installing clockwork mod recovery using rom manager in the market, to just flash this file and then there is an option in rom manager where you can revert back to amon ra.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] animadudut:
Looks awesome! I'm on Amon RA too so I'll probably try this later on. Could we revert back to the original theme after flashing to this?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cpt.Curry:
Yes, I've included the original theme aswell, that is the 2nd link posted, only thin that is different is the lockscreen, because I thought that that rod's lockscreen looks cooler overall.

@zoman thanks, will probably work on some of the colours, such as the bookmarks tab in browser needs to be reverted. I was a big fan of the minimalistic theme and this comprehends that theme pretty well.

nah they dont the stock wood folders are to do with the miui launcher itself. I can change them but then I would have to make a rom itslf. You'd rather just flash the themed roms like rodriguez rom.
