I flashed back to JI6 and everything is back to normal. Status, Phone number now displays. I can go to Contact Settings and modify Own Number and it's not grayed out. Guess I'll stay on this for while since my remote DVR app won't work when my phone displays unknown number.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
I flashed this morning right over axura 2.05 and have been running it for a few hours now. It's very nice and no lag to complain about at all so I'm happy with the performance. My LP score is 13.5, number says unknown but calls come in and go out just fine, all the notifications are working, and FB syncs just fine with contacts and app. All's good over here :D
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
I'm gonna flash the the ODIN version of this, and i'll let you know if i get the "unknown number".
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
I'm using the ODIN. It's UNKNOWN as well. Not worried about it though. Probably a CSC issue. it's pretty different.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
yeah, i just got the ODIN jk6 booted. i'll get the OP to update with known issues.

But one other thing i want to get figured out, are there more then just 1 or two people having facebook sync issues with this deodexed rom?

I've seen mixed reports and want to get the facebook part straight before i post any info about it.
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I do have unknown where my phone number should be, I don't have a facebook account but myspace and twitter both sync fine for me. I came from a clean slate, I used odin to get me back to stock then kies mini to update to ji6 then to this jk6. I did have the sd card issue but "format sd card" fixed that
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thanks for the Deodex.

Anyone having issue where you can not back out from "contacts" by pressing back button?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
nope, i'm not having that issue
[Vibrant Android Development] Jacscik:
Yes, but rebooting fixed that.
[Vibrant Android Development] justlovejoy:
whats the difference between stock and deodexed? can someone let the cat out the hat? btw i'm having the same issues with the phone going crazy once i have the headphones plugged in. sucks when i try to watch youtube or movies. phone calls get routed through but i love using my headphones and bugs when they're plugged in bothers my fun with this phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] 651stp:
4 hours of use on phone and still at 95%. cant beat that. best thing out so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
i had better battery life on jk2. but still, good battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] justlovejoy:
its not good to lie j/k but im taking back the new portable charger i got on black friday for fifteen bucks. still looking for a headphone fix. other than that i wanna black theme like black froyo for this and i am good to go.
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
I done have any issues with my headphones the ones that came with the phone is it only when you use different ones or what?

Edit: tried with different headphones still works fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] justlovejoy:
the ones that came with the phone had a short in them so i bought a headset with the mic and whoa... im goi to buy a different set tomorrowand see if that changes things.. but i doubt its the case. the headphones seem to create lag when put in. plugged in. but when run with i nine thousand roms... or kernels... i get no headset use for calls. on vibrant based rom and kernels.. i have a problem. thanks for sparking the thought. i will do some headset switching tomorrow.

[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
thanks for reply

thanks for reply and solution, I rebooted but the issue was still there, so wiped cache and rebooted which fixed it
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Been running this now for 9 hours with light to moderate us and Batt is at 69% after recondition last night, not bad at all.

There is a tiny bit of jerkinness scrolling but it's very slight although not as smooth as Launcher Pro it works quite well. Apps are quick to open up but I have seen faster but again works quite well and linpack scores are high 13s to low 14s.
[Vibrant Android Development] ndwgs:
Anybody know of a known kernel over clocker for this JK6 goodness?

I don't want lag fixes, just so when somebody gets this themed, i'm prepared.
[Vibrant Android Development] Spacejock:
Anyone have issues with the video player in this rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
This version is still running pretty good but I don't see it getting much love, wonder why??:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Yea I haven't had any issues with it either. I'm betting a lot of ppl just aren't familiar with the term deodexed, but who knows.
[Vibrant Android Development] stellarvelocity:
I tried to search around but wasn't coming up with any results. After flashing this, and then flashing AOSP lockscreen and gingerbread notification bar icons, the Android Mp3/media scanner is no longer searching "/external_sd/Music" for my MP3 collection. I can stick then on the "/internal SD" but otherwise the phone just completely ignores that external_sd/music folder.

I've even tried putting some MP3s on the root of /external_sd/ and tried renaming the Music folder to no avail. I was stumped for awhile until I discovered a file named ".nomedia" in my media folder. i have never seen that before.

Anyone else seen this or know how it could come to be? super weird.
[Vibrant Android Development] justlovejoy:
i am definaitely surprised at the way this rom just fell off the grid. I was wondering though if it has been updated to JL1. like will jk6 be able to work on jL1? themes, fixes?? stuff like that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wildcardwilson:
I just switched to sprint from at&t and wanted to know what the pro/cons were to rooting and installing a custom rom vs using it stock.

att disables alot of what makes an android phone android. does sprint do the same?

will I be missing out on alot if I dont root and replace the rom?

input greatly appreciated.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jrsoit:
No sprint does not necessarily cripple the android experience, I switched from my HTC Hero on Sprint to the LG Optimus S because it offered a more stock android experience and I did not have to root to get 2.2. The only downside so far has been the Sprint ID stuff, but just install the clean ID and you should be good.

handy tip for those with straps that dig into your neck, over this side of the pond, motorfactors like Halfrauds do seat belt pads that wrap around the belt to stop it slicing your neck (especially for short people), get one for your camera strap and it's much nicer :)

If you want that option install the G2 keymap on it. Go here and follow the instructions using the original keymaps supplied in the zip. They'll have an 'orig' tacked onto the end of them. Erase 'orig' before pushing them into your phone via adb. Hope that helps.

[General Topics] das7771:
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I am in a hurry to get a straight answer on this.

Is there any way to track a cell phones location by just knowing the cell number. My niece ran away yesterday with some other kid her age and they are planning to leave the state they live in. We reported the case to the police but they are treating it as a runaway case and not a missing person case, so they are no doing much. I know cell phones can be tracked through the 911 services now, but is there any other way legally or a hack of some sort to track a person by calling or sending them a message.

It is rumored that my niece is going to mexico which is not really an ideal place for a 16 yo girl, so you can understand why I am concerned.
[General Topics] egyptshun:
good luck... and its a run away, shes not missing or kidnapped, and maybe she likes tacos?... but no, you cant do more than the police... plus you didnt even say what phone she has
[General Topics] das7771:
Thanks for correcting my punctuation, cuz thats what I really needed. Maybe some one else a little mature can provide some helpful info.
[General Topics] das7771:
Okay we spoke to the phone company which is pocket wireless in Texas. They told us that the phone's location could not be triangulated because they just cant do that. I was under the impression that all cell phones were mandated to be able to be tracked or at least triangulate their approximate position for emergency purposes. Some one please correct me if I am wrong.
[General Topics] Alex530:
Ouch. You should sue them. Tell em off or something. & I don't think its possible. I had my cliq stolen and they didn't.even raise a pinky in trying to find it. Tmobile btw. And you should warn a sherrif they seem more understandable than a waste of a costume you call an officer.

[General Topics] armorized:
Depending on what phone she has they my not be able to track it. But almost all new phones have. Gps in them now. I got carjacked at gunpoint and left my phone in my truck and the police were able to triangulate it after some b.s. paperwork giving them permission to do so.

Had my truck back and intact within a couple hours. If I was you I would be at the police station harassing them to do it until they locked me up/threw me out or got off their asses nd did it.
[General Topics] souljaboy:
This guys rite , the police can do it anytime with ease , but tend to not lift thier asses unless its somthing big
[General Topics] das7771:
I figured it would be due to laziness. I spoke to a couple people in law enforcement and they said it can be done but its whether the police want to mess with it or not. I guess since it's not one of their family members, they dont want to bother with it.

[Android Software Development] 89luca89:
Hi, I (recently) delight in cooking ROM (in my case for the milestone), and I mastered a little bit in the compilation (AOSP sources) and in scripting (also good)

Now, I know I can do everything from terminal xD (and just do about everything from there :D) but for the users of the ROM I thought I could provide a tool to have better acces to what I create:

the idea is:

A simple (maybe in line with the basic aspect of the "settings" android :D) UI, which creates a list of choices (in my case, for example, the list of scripts stored in a folder of choice)

now simply, I want a program that lists me the script (maybe not witch the scripting extenction but, for example, using a renominable menu) and with one touch run the script

you can?

I'm not practical with apks dunno if is a simple task xD

I am also willing to pay for a good effort :D

Thank you in advance!!

Hi Everyone,

I have read the extensive thread on compatible SD cards, but just wanted to open another thread asking if there are any known 32GB cards working with this phone or if you guys have heard of any officially certified 32GB cards coming soon. I am DESPERATE to have more storage on my phone, but will not buy a card unless I know it is working for sure and want to go for the 32 as soon as possible. Thanks!
[Focus General] tsuabing:
Well I can only speak on my personal experience but I've been using a Kingston Class4 32GB card since November 8th and have never had any issues. And I'm sitting at around 12GB of usage (music, videos, etc).

I'm not saying this is gauranteed to work - just relaying what my personal experience has been.

Use at your own risk...
[Focus General] Ren13B:
My Kingston 32GB C4 card lagged really bad once I got over 10GB. There are so many conflicting reports like this. Using any card is a bit of a gamble at this stage.
[Focus General] MardiG:
Kingston Class 4 - Working Great Here

I also have had a 32GB Kingston Class 4 card in my Focus and have been using it since November 8th. I have had no problems at all.

Total Storage 37.07 GB

Available Storage 22.20 GB

So I am using 15GB of my storage for music and such and have had no problems whatsoever.
[Focus General] jeffgeno:
I'd be curious to see what happens when you get over 16GB. It seems like 8GB cards are okay; maybe there's something that freaks out when you use more external storage than internal.
[Focus General] wm.andrew.wilson:
I also would be interested in what happens once you fill it past 16GB. Would one of you be willing to give it a shot for us? Thanks for the replies everyone!
[Focus General] Bikram:
I have a 16GB Scandisc card of clas 2, I put that in and reastarted the phone. Nothing happened.....is that how you know if it is working or not???

Go to Settings -> About and it will tell you how much storage you have. If it still says 8GB, then you still need to format the phone.

Lexar 32GB Class 10

I recieved that card from Amazon early this week but so far all I've done is benchmark it. The card is pretty impressive with sequential and random read-rates but its write speeds are about the same as the Sandisk Class 2 I currently have in my Focus. Right now I'm waffling on wether to go through the process of swapping the cards and reinstalling everything or waiting until the NoDo update comes out. If I do make the swap I'll probably post on the working sd cards thread

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electronicopolis:
I hope someone will take the time to answer you, it will help me too LOL. Last thing I rooted was the G1 years ago, & just yesterday rooted the Hero (& flashed CM6 today) I got off of Craigslist. Seems like some phones have better wikis than others.

I haven't been in the rooting/flashing game for a while since I've owned tons of different devices before & after the G1. Since then the only flashing I did was flashing Android onto a WM device LOL. Never bothered flashing the Vibrant, Epic, or Evo (sold, sold, & sold.)

Anyway, yeah, I hope someone answers! You have my support!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
Root and recovery are two totally separate things - you can root your phone and not flash a recovery, it's totally up to you. Root gives you access to things on your phone, that you would otherwise not have - like flashing recovery, ROM(s), apps that need root access, etc. Goto the wiki there's a link which gives a high level idea of what root gives you.

Recovery - gives you features such as Nand backup/restore, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, flash stuff (ROMs, kernels, etc.,)

Apps2SD - allows you to install apps to the SD card. If you are using android 2.2 or above, this feature is available natively, so you don't need something line apps2sd

Now, answers to your "Straight up questions..."

1. Yes, once you root, flash recovery, flash ROM... you have altered your phone from a software stand point. You can return it to "out-of-the-box" state by running any official RUU provided by HTC/Sprint (for HTC Sprint Hero)

2. This varies from ROM to ROM, you should read the specific instructions provided by the ROM builder. About removing gapps, it is pretty easy to remove any apps once you have root access - read up the wiki or search for removing apps

3. Depends on what you want to get back - for all your daily needs, there are backup applications that can help you backup stuff from the phone, which you can then restore, once you have the app running and backup available

4. If you restore a nand backup, it will put your phone to a stage when you had created the backup

5. You will have to read up about MoDaCo ROM, that is a ROM specific thing

6. There's nothing wrong about the gapps - not sure what you are referring to

7. There are multiple messaging apps - handcent, chomp, google voice, etc. It all depends on your personal preferences

I would honestly recommend you to search on the forums and also visit the wiki. There's a whole lot of information about everything here. Also, Hero being a bit old phone, more often than not, the problem you might be facing... might have been already answered. Yes, it is time consuming, but will surely help you. The more you read, the comfortable you will feel.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you further. Again, I started the same way as you, rooted the phone, flashed CM6, played around, something went horribly wrong, then had to RUU, root, flash... everything. But, that taught me a lot.

Enjoy!
