Sorry havent been around much , but life has been busy and the legend froyo port has been consuming what free time I have.

by the way this has SU 2.3.6.1 so why are you trying to back date it to 2.3.1 this is nuts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Precisely.

I'm actually pretty happy with the 2nd post kernel but just wanted to get youtube to work. I heard that deca kernel helps... Anybody else got it to work with the original kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AlvinT:
It doesnt work on the phone ... wi fi and setcpu don;t work

Meanwhile I wonder if I should just choose a different ROM to flash. I have been using iced honey bun (it was great) but I just want a fast, stable ROM that does what I want it to (remove bloatware, make calls and has minimal lag). I just don't know how to choose!

I will in any event reflash the ROM!

cheers and

Thanks to all ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AlvinT:
Wow. I reflashed the ROM as suggested and stuff now works.

Didn;t realize I was replacing new superuser with older one. I thought getting superuser from the android market would get me the most up to date version.

So reflashing nfinite's original ROM from this thread, and reflashing a kernel, seems to have done the trick!

Sprint Hero update 2.32.651.2

Perhaps someone can help me?

Ever since I updated my Sprint Hero to 2.1 long ago, it has been the laggiest, most annoying machine I've ever encountered. This new 2.32.651.2 update has basically rendered it inoperable.

I know virtually nothing about rooting or flashing a ROM, but if 'anyone' would care to walk me through what it takes to root this phone and flash a speedy ROM, I would be more than grateful and willing to risk bricking it as it basically is the worst device known to man or beast now.

Thanks, in advance, for your time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Have you flashed the kernel found in the second post in this thread? If you haven't, you might be stuck at 245 mhz which will make for one slow-ass phone! :)

If you're able to run SetCPU, what speed does it say you're running at?

Read that thread.. The instructions in that post will help you root your phone.

you need to gain root access on the phone before you can flash any recovery images, or, generally speaking, custom roms. From my testing on the latest offering from sprint, the only way you will see good performance out of it is to flash a custom kernel..

Once you have root access, you can do all of the modifications.

I'd really recommend reading that post, and then re-reading it. Rooting the phone isn't as hard as it sounds, but without the proper understanding of everything, you'll just become frustrated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AlvinT:
=== What Moxion said

This is pretty much where I was a couple months ago, with what seemed like a Hero dipped in molasses. I finally got the courage to try to root my phone.

After some effort (and help from the wonderful people here) managed to root, get rid of bloatware and get a custom rom. Wow! what a difference

It's worth the effort. If you're careful, everything is reversible. You'll learn to be grateful for nandroid.

Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mrzuitsuit:
How would I use this as an update vs. a total replacement to your previous release?

Thanks for the hard work!

Hey, the file for the 691 kernel seems to not work...anyone know another place to get it? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
U mean 1 in the 2nd post? If you do,then try Decad3nce's #43 691 from his Uncapped kernel thread works well with this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
What he said...that's the kernel I'm using and it's worked for several others so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urwrstfear:
Anyway someone can make friendstream work with this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrGreg:
Flashed this along with the 691 kernel last night, seems to be working great so far, thanks!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
I will be releasing an update in the next two days to fix several issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thankx Nfinite:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Cant wait! :D Been keeping my eye on this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
Fix what? This Rom I'd possibly the most stable I've used thus far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
Ive been bored lately with my phone running 2.2 so I decided to come back to 2.1 and sense for a while and I have to say Im really impressed by this release. Running this with decad3nce's #43 uncapped kernel at 710 MHz and its really smooth. The only feature that seems to be missing is a new one for Sprint visual voice mail where it can translate your voice mail messages into text. Anyone know how to get that? I know its another $1.99 a month but wanted to try it out. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
I got prompted to enable that when the device provisioned visual voicemail. I'm not sure how to get it after that but it may be in the VVM menu options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
Thank you that did the trick, appreciate the assist!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
It's a love hate relationship between Sprint VVM and Google Voice as to what is better, but you might want to look into Google Voice if you haven't yet... it's free unless you want to make international calls and perhaps a few other things.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
Yeah, Ive used google voice for the last 3 months and I hate it, delayed msgs notification or no msgs notification at all have just left me tired of it. So Im going to give VVM a try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AlvinT:
That's really exciting news! This is an impressive contribtion, in my humble but correct opinion

Here's a question: my SD card has two recovery images (recovery.img and recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img). I suspect I don;t need both, and probably there is a later one I should use ... RA 1.6? 1.7? I see someone is using 1.8 but with a different ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
After you flash a recovery img, you dont need it on your SD card anymore. You can delete both of those. Yes, 1.7 is the highest I am running.

I have been doing the same, hows your battery life? mine lasts about an hour running it at 710, what Radio version are you using? do you sync with Gmail? contacts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
Wow, you have an issue then if it only lasts an hour, Ive had it off charge since 5 am and Im still at 78%...are you running one of the tweaks with it? I use setcpu. Ive got the new .29 radio with the new 60672 PRL. I still sync with google so I dont lose contacts but I use VVM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SysCrasher13:
Lol !!! sorry I exaggerated, its not an hour, but it does not last all day, in fact it doesn't even get 100% when i plug it in overnight, cuz its constantly discharging, looking at the battery details its something called mediaserver that drains my battery.... to me it seems that its always trying to sync with gmail, or doing something over the air... ive tried all radio versions and its the same...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
hey i did a quick google search and found a lot of complants about that. So far the only thing that i have read that helps is a reboot of the phone. It seems to be caused be listening to the radio music or tv. give the reboot a try, dont listen to music and let us know how it works
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Nfinitefx45, you are still my Hero!:)

Hope you and your family have a safe holiday season!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SysCrasher13:
Yeah I have tried reboot, hard reset, it works good for like 30 min then it starts doing its crazy thing, not sure why, also what I have noticed is that it doesnt load media from the SD card, no wallpapers or music, so maybe its constantly looking for it or something, also i noticed that on the original 2 GB SD that i came with it does not have that problem... only on my 16GB sd... weird...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
I think if I were you I'd reload the whole thing with a full wipe...and maybe get rid of that sd card. LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SysCrasher13:
yeah coming from windows mobile phones, where every time you wanted to flash a custom rom, you have to flash a stock rom first, I always do that, I flash stock 2.31 then root and flash custom. nothing works for some reason, im going back to Cyanogenmod Lol!

I personally think its something with the radio, because its constantly trying to sync, and it takes like 3 hrs to sync my contacts after a fresh install.

Another thing I noticed: I got a new device through insurance, and it came with 2.27 and it worked perfectly, no glitch, very responsive. upgrared to 2.31 and it worked good. OTA to 2.32 and it went to ****...

On 3 different devices I've seen that happen. if you go back to 2.31 with RUU, it does not work good again. and I cant go back to 2.27 to test my theory...

if you go from 2.27 to 2.32 it works good. and you can go back to 2.27 with RUU, its only when you do 2.31 to 2.32 that it breaks... and It happen with 3 devices same way. 2.27 to 2.32 fine, 2.27 to 2.31 fine, 2.27 to 2.31 to 2.32 something breaks. and its never the same... if I could go back to 2.27 with RUU I could test my theory...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
you can just grab the .6 ruu and run that, then run the .5 ruu and you will be reverted back to the first 2.1 update 1 release.

Personally it sounds as if there is a config left behind on the sdcard, backup up your sdcard adn then format it then do a fresh install of this rom and see if the issue persists
[Hero CDMA Android Development] indiscriminant:
I would also recommend he does his wipe a few 2 or 3 times prior to reflashing the rom, also ensure you wipe battery data. You shouldnt need to flash back to a stock rom with nfinite's roms. I have been using them for several revisions and versions without this kind of issue.

My battery runs on your .7 release (waiting for this one to be updated 1 more time) for over 36 hours if I do little with it, or 20+ hours if I am on lots of calls, 15+ hours if I am obsessing and on it constantly or playing music while at work all day. Using it at 345/691 while on and 245/480 while screen is off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
nfinitefx45, just like to say that I appreciate your work, with the devs dropping like flies on the hero its nice to see someone is still working on things. I'm still hoping someone will come through with 2.2 running sense but I am more than happy with this rom to stick with it long term...or at least till the next update comes along. LOL Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cpalenshus:
How do I get started?

I'm a total newbie and want to either flash or update it with the file you posted. My phone is currently on build 2.32.651.2 so it seems like this update is something that should work. How do I do either a flash or an update step-by-step? Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moxlon69:
First, you need to have a rooted phone. If your phone is not rooted, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804296 will get you started.

If you use this method to root the phone, you will need to flash a recovery.

There are guides that can help with this. Once you are rooted, and have a

custom recovery flashed, you can download this rom to your SD card, boot

into the recovery, and flash the rom. You will also want to flash a custom kernel

to get the benefits that this custom rom offers. The procedure for flashing

the kernel is the same, but you flash it after you have flashed the rom.

If you need more details, PM me. I'll help you out with what I can, as long as

you are willing to learn and not looking for a 100% walkthrough.

I know the devs are pretty busy, so this is the least I can do to help reduce

their workload.

A2SD

I posted this in the QA forum but have not gotten any response even with 30+ views so I figured I would post this here.

I currently use your .7 rom with A2SD (first time using A2SD) and have an 8gig class 2 card. I just bought a class 6 16gig card and formated it for the same partition etc.

How do I get my A2SD to transfer to the new card? Do I have to download every app again or is there a way to transfer the ext partition files?

Should I just wait till you update this version since I will have to wipe and start over anyways?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mrzuitsuit:
+1

I'm interested in this as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slow27:
been using .7 for awhile and decided to flash this updated rom.

wiped dalvik and data. flashed. and now im in a boot loop. i dont use A2SD so my sdcard isnt partitioned.

did some searches and only saw from other threads that wiping is the only thing to do. no luck. any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Start over. Wipe everything over again and then reflash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slow27:
I have wiped everything clean in recovery except battery information. Just booted up to the home screen. Thanks again for the help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tectronus:
Is there any way of getting mms to work for sprint? I can receive, just not send. Seems both this rom and Liquids both don't work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slow27:
UPDATE:

The new problem I'm experiencing now is when I take out my sdcard. There is no notification saying that the sdcard has been removed. Then, after about 3-5 seconds, the phone will blink to the white "htc" screen and boot loops. Is the phone not supposed to function without the sdcard in this rom?

UPDATE 2:

Rebooted a couple times and the phone broke out of the boot loop and loaded normally. Very strange.

UPDATE 3:

I think I just figured out my own problem. Something tells me I have A2SD working. Gotta reformat my sdcard again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moxlon69:
use terminal emulator or adb shell to issue commands to a2sd

a2sd check

you are looking for Apps and Dalvik Cache

Should say "Programs run from SD Card" if the apps are being transferred to

the SD card.

a2sd remove will transfer the programs back to internal

storage. The phone will reboot. Depending on what a2sd said for the other two,

you may need to re enter the shell.

If Dalvik is running from the storage card, you can transfer it back to internal

by typing a2sd nocache and let the phone reboot.

prep your new SD card, insert it, and when you are ready and all booted up,

open the shell again, and type a2sd reinstall to move the

apps back to the SD card. which will be followed by a reboot. If your Dalvik was

also running from the SD card, re-enter the shell and type a2sd

cachesd to move the cache back to the SD card.

This should in theory transfer the apps and dalvik cache, but it won't touch the

files and such on the fat32 partition, to my knowledge. those you will have to

copy over yourself.

As always, you should probably nandroid before making any major changes,.

There may be an easier way to accomplish this, but I used this

technique when I switched the factory 2gb sd card out for an 8gb

card, and had no issues.

I'm no expert, so anyone can feel free to point out my mistakes, or

give a better

method.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moxlon69:
mms has always worked flawlessly for me, on sprint. This is an almost bone

stock sprint rom, just has a few additions and tweaks. Did you try updating

your profile? I had issues with data and voicemail not being provisioned once,

and the problems went away when I updated the profile..Not sure if that was

the cure or if it was just a fluke, but I generally always hit "update profile"

when I flash a new rom, and "update PRL" at least once or twice a month.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slow27:
Are A2SD natively turned on in this release?

I wiped my sdcard and reformatted it thinking if I didn't have an ext partition, A2SD wouldnt work. But for some reason, after I flashed the rom, A2SD seemed to keep working. (i.e. when I take out the sdcard the phone would reboot itself after a couple seconds)

In theory, if I use those commands in adb shell to turn A2SD back to internal, I should be able to take my sdcard out without the phone rebooting?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moxlon69:
If the card was previously partitioned, I'm not sure just formatting the card

would erase the partitions, I've never tried to just format the card from

recovery, and from in the phone it would probably just erase the fat32

partition.

a2sd is enabled in this release, but dalvik does not get moved to the sd card

unless you make the required changes. As far as I know, the version of a2sd

that's included in 2.1 releases requires an ext2/3/4 partition to work, unlike

google's a2sd that's in the 2.2 releases, which uses the fat32 partition.

I did somewhat verify your reboot issue, but my apps and dalvik are both stored

on the SD card. To be honest, the easiest way for you to verify where your

apps are stored, would be to just run a2sd check from the shell.

In the output it will tell you where your apps are stored. The output will say either

that they are stored internal or on the SD card.

If you know you aren't running apps and dalvik on the SD card, then you can just

transfer your files to a new SD card, and then power up the phone with the new

SD card in place, as there would be no linux partitions to deal with.

Since I almost never pull my SD card out of the phone, I honestly couldn't say if this

is a new bug in the stock sprint rom, or if this problem existed in any of the older releases.

When I started with computers, they used to call bugs features lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] slow27:
I was using NFX's .7 ROM with A2SD. But I never partitioned my sdcard for it to work. Everything was dandy (I don't like using A2SD, just a personal pref). After I flashed this ROM it seems like A2SD likes to force itself to work, even when there isn't a ext partition. So now, everytime I eject my sdcard, my phone will reboot. If I unmount it through the menus, its fine. But when I put the sdcard back in and it remounts, the phone will freeze then reboot. So now, whenever I eject or insert the sdcard, the phone will reboot.

My next though is to RUU back because something seems terribly wrong.

Any ideas/suggestions/help?

UPDATE:

Ok, so I think I figured out what was happening with the phone and sdcards. I booted the device in recovery. Checked to see what and how many partitions were made. And bingo, that was my problem. Wiping ext part from recovery through the menus didn't wipe the partitions. So I kept assuming that it did. I manually deleted all of the partitions in recovery through adb shell. And remade one big fat32 partition. Things seem to be going well now. If the system can't find an ext partition to run A2SD, then it won't enable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] moxlon69:
Glad you got it. I kinda figured it had the partition, but I couldn't know for sure
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jziggy101:
partitioned sd cards

Just having you phone format the SD card will not remove any partitions. It will format the Fat32 and that is all. To get rid of a sd partition you need software like HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool ( google it ). This is a windows utility that will erase a sd card after removing all the partitions. If you can use linux there are already utilities in Linux to do the same thing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tectronus:
I would figure that it would work just fine in both these releases. But some how not on mine. It really strange that i can get it working on some roms but not all. In most other cases no one else has a problems either. I have also tried to update prl & profile. That was the first thing i checked.

Oogling around i found that the program quick setting really mess up peoples apn settings (i did install that recently). But most of the posts i seen where for a different phones.

For giggles i downloaded and backup the apn files to check em out. I don't really have anything to compare it to though.

apn name="CDMA" numeric="00000" mcc="000" mnc="00" apn="0" user="null" server="null" password="null" proxy="null" port="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="" mmsprotocol="" mmsc="" type="*"

apn name="Production" numeric="00000" mcc="000" mnc="00" apn="1" user="null" server="null" password="null" proxy="null" port="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="" mmsprotocol="2.0" mmsc="hxxp://mms.sprintpcs.com" type="mms"

apn name="Android" numeric="310995" mcc="310" mnc="995" apn="internet" user="*" server="*" password="*" proxy="null" port="null" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="null" type="null"

If someone can dl apn setting, make a backup, then open the backupfile .xml file and show me there setting that would be great.

Last night i decided to backup and flash the last rom that did work for me. DamageControlv2.08.1 and is pretty darn old now. Tested mms on that and worked fine. But i cant get the market going on there to dl the apn program.(spits out an error and fc's) Also don't know how to check the sprint settings any other way. Is there a ## code or something? Can I edit what i have to from anywhere else or app? Also where are these setting? Are they apart of or in the roms that we flash or are the apart of the radio or something. I'm lost how to get this fixed and out of ideas.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
this should not be there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tectronus:
So should i just delete that whole line and restore the apn from file?
