Yes you can. On the odex version worked great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guitardoc64:
Absolutely. Odex or not, it works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] R7i1c3K:
Any reason installing some .APK files (4 total, all games) would throw a "Application Not Installed" error during install? Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: Don't know if it matters or not, but I'm running the Odex Rom with VVM, stock everything with it. Even tried wiping and reflashing the rom, and got the same problem.

LS is MIA.......I wanted to team up with him for a theme but I guess he just wanted me to finish rom for him. LS if you're looking for a theme partner in here :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Memory full......go install it from market...or titanium backup restore it......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks everyone, glad to see I really fixed all flashing problems, prl/pri update problems, and just finished this Rom completely to where there are no problems at all. Another job well done by myself, but I couldn't have finished from where he left off if liquidsolstice never started it. So big thanks to him. Now on to the next project :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] xjayman:
This rom is seriously flawed. It looks nice and for the most part runs nice except in order to fix tethering and jogball you have to run zens kernel. There is also something wrong with permissions that you'll need to fix befor you can run some other roms,only problem is you have to nandroid back to a rom that works correctly to fix permisions because you can't do here. I appreaciate kifno trying to develop for us hero owners but concentrate on getting one thing right at a time instead of running 5 things that dont work correctly.

i cant get past the htc screen on start up :/

please help it wont get past the htc screen on booting any ideas
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jake044:
NANDroid backup of your current ROM.

Format the system, data & cache partitions.

Factory reset.

Flash the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
thanks for helping him before i read this :D that's the correct procedure :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jake044:
No prob. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirron13:
i followed your instructions

i did what you said and it still didnt work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tibson:
Doest work for me either, always hangs at the first HTC screen or bootloops. I can fix it by using the kernal from the previous version. I'm using the odex + VVM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirron13:

please post a link to the older kernel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tibson:
It's not a true fix, it just fixes the boot issue. You'll have random FCs and lockups after a while anyway. I'm just posting all the relevant info I have for this issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Globespy:

EDIT:

I tried again and it worked this time. I had not wiped dalvik before......

Display Contacts Last Name First

Hello,

I've been running CM6 for awhile, and using Firerat's memory mod to gain more space, and have been in the mood for something different, so I changed the map file so I could flash a larger ROM and flashed this ROM last night.

One thing I have noticed, there does not seem to be an option in the People app to display my contacts Last Name first. My Google Contact list is sorted that way online, and CM6 allowed me to do that as did the stock Sprint ROM. Is that a feature that isn't present in this ROM, or am I just missing something somewhere?

Othere than not being able to find that, this appears to be a great ROM so far..... CM6 had become very slow and sluggish. Might have been because of the memory mod and because I only had about 50 MB free, but, for whatever reason, it led me to try something else.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpeterson:

FC on Incoming call - rings infinately

Solid rom, and my fiance' digs it. The only complaint, is once a day or so the phone force closes when theres an incoming call, and its frozen with the FC error and the ringtone repeats until the battery is removed.

Any recommendations? And if not, any recomendations for a fast, stable rom with working gps and vvm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guitardoc64:
Sorry about the delay, I thought someone would have answered by now. Try rebooting to recovery and clearing the dalvik with a wipe and see if it repeats.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Sorry I've been busy with gingersense. But some solutions are to flash zen's uv and oc kernel. Immediately reboot and re wipe data, cache, and dalvik again after first boot is another fix. Try fixing permissions in adb shell :D is another fix. You could also try all three or a combination of the three. That's what I did when using my sense roms. Hope that helps. Now back to gingersense for a while.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 33hfl:
please guys can someone fix the problem that we are having with the light ball track,the only way I found is flashing diferent kernel,but it dosent work 100% with kifno`s new script 1.5
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
You must flash zen's kernel (which is better than deca's IMO for sense rom's). That is the only way I had it working 100% :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iceflow420:
Hate to bump an old thread, but I was feeling the Sense urge.

I installed this today and tried pushing FriendStream (app and widget) apk's and odex's to /system/app. Did a adb reboot afterwards and got nothing. Any ideas?

I pushed HtcTwitter and that worked, htcbookmarkswidget didn't work either.

Oh, I got the apk/odex from NFX 2.2.1 which is built on 2.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731951
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johndoehizzle:
thanks.cleean rom. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bsmith1051:
If people want a truly clean ROM shouldn't they use CM6? Or, depending on your interpretation of 'clean', you might want Nfinite's base Sprint ROM?

Personally, I'm hoping to find a balanced ROM, one that removes the HTC and Sprint bloat but still leaves the most common functionality. For me that include HTC Mail (which I need for Exchange email) and Sprint Visual Voice Mail. Can we at least get clear instructions on adding those things back? If it can't simply be done by re-running the .APK then us n00bies need more help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
You also need to put back the .odex file that corresponds to the .apk if it exists. For example, if there is a gmail.apk and gmail.odex, you need to put both files back into /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Download Android Commander from http://www.androidcommander.com/ and download the removed programs from the OP. Unzip the removed apps to someplace you can find easily (Like in a folder on your desktop). Install Android Commander and plug in your phone. Once you are in the program, on the the left side of the screen, browse to the folder that contains the apps you want to add (Email, Sprint VVM, etc.). On the right, browse to /system/app/ and you will see lots of .apk and .odex files.

In the left panel, click the box next to the .apk and .odex files you want (Email.apk, Email.odex, etc.). There might not be an .odex file. At the top of the left panel, click the button "Copy" and make sure it is going to be pushed to /system/app/ and then click OK so that it will run. Once it's done, close the window and look on your phone to see if the apps are there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Clean to me is the least code required for a fully functional phone. Which is why I favor aospMOD often.

Many people enjoy a Sense based rom because it looks pretty. I think what Liquid is looking for is squeezing the most performance out of the stock rom as possible.

I guess that can be another definition of clean, so I see the point you are making. Maybe we need to start making "Clean*" and use the * to define clean :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pig_pen420:
I love the first version, and im definitely giving this one a shot when im not running aosp...it has the new radio correct?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bsmith1051:
Installing Android Commander is a

lot

more work than just downloading and installing :( You also need to download, install, and configure the Android SDK for your OS, right?

UPDATE: Just tried it all again on a 'temp' computer setup, and now I realize half of the setup steps are only for actual Android development. We don't need to install the JDK or Eclipse IDE, I don't think!

UPDATE #2: the ADB driver that was downloaded by the Android SDK didn't work on Windows 7 64-bit. Eventually I was able to find a working copy from here,

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/

Finally it's working. All told, it took me about 2 hours to get Android Commander to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jziggy101:
I use an app called APKopic which allows you to backup your apps to the SDcard. Then I can reinstall them from there. It also will uninstall apps and restore apks.

Free App.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bsmith1051:
On my existing Fresh 2.4.0 setup I don't see anything labeled "Sprint Voice" or "Visual" or "VVM" in the system/app sub-folder. Where should I be seeing the installed Sprint Visual Voice Mail (VVM) files? If I'm going to wipe and reinstall with this new ROM I need to know how/where to reinstall VVM. Thank you for any help!

NEVERMIND: I found it under the Applications tab, whew.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ozzie1p:
I can not for the life of me get the Twitter widget installed or peep. I've tried adb push, commander, and old copy and paste. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bsmith1051:
Success! Thank you for a great ROM. I had a lot of stops/starts, though, so I wanted to document my experience:

My successful upgrade procedure

1. I took the time to install Android Commander, the Android SDK, and the HTC Hero/ADB USB driver beforehand. Then I made a backup of my Mail, MarketUpdater, Sprint_App_Updater, and Sprint_Core (from the phone's 'system/apps' folder) as well as backing-up my Market apps -- including Maps v4.7.0, Mail 2.00 and Voicemail v5.1.0.24 (from the Applications Manager tab).

2. I was easily able to follow the excellent instructions (in the original post) to flash and update the ROM, thank you!

3. On initial boot, I skipped all prompts to configure email.

4. I reconnected with Android Commander and reinstalled my backups of Maps, Voicemail, and Mail.

5. I noticed that the archive of 'RemovedSystemApps' had a newer version of Voicemail v5.1.0.34 but I was unable to install it. I tried uninstalling the .24 copy that I'd backed-up but it still failed. The specific error was "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]" ?

6. I rebooted the phone, then went into Settings > Accounts, and added my Exchange and Gmail emails.

The phone is now working great, and noticeably faster than Fresh 2.4.0 (which I had not overclocked).

__________

The only problem now is that the phone is prompting for a 'mandatory' voicemail upgrade but it reports "General Failure" when I try to let it install. The visual Voicemail app still works, though, so I don't think it was really all that mandatory? The version I'd backed-up was already updated but maybe it had a lower version-number because it was from the older ".6" Sprint ROM.

__________

UPDATE: I just realized I hadn't reinstalled the 'Sprint_App_Updater.apk' that I'd backed-up so I re-did it. Voicemail upgrade still failed, so I rebooted and tried again; same general failure. I tried installing the version from the 'RemovedSystemApps.zip' but got the same "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED" message as for the archived Voicemail app.

Finally, instead of using the 'proper' Install function, I tried just copying the two Sprint_App_Updater.apk and Sprint_Core.apk files over. The notice about the mandatory upgrade immediately went away but I didn't trust it, so I rebooted the phone (again!).

This time, the notice came-up again but I was now able to install it!

So: If you want to reinstall some of the Sprint apps you need to copy the files rather than 'Install' them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
You'll need to add back Twitter itself, as well as its Odex files.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, it looks like the main issues here are the Mail and VVM functions, I'll start looking into that :). Keep up the feedback!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ozzie1p:
Thanks for the rom and your effort! I actually have moved both the apk and the odex but it will not install.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rob_ec:
So far so good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
So it seems I've pretty majorly bumbled up teh first post, it's not as easy to read/understand as my last ROM.

I've got some major study work to do tonight, but tommorow, I'll clean up everything. I put this ROM out at 4 in the morning, and I can't even remember for the life of me if I took out the Mail app or not (would explain the issues with mail).

For those having issues with the VVM, I'll simply make a fresh ROM that will be the exact same as the normal 2.1.1 (with the Mail app put back in it, of course) only I'll cook in the Sprint VVM so it will be zero-hassle for those of you who use VVM. I hate how you VVM users feel so hated against by the GVoice users, I know you're just using what you prefer, so I'll make that happen for you guys :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
LS don't know if this is a bug or something that's been change in this .2 version . I'm running Estrong file explorer and when I try to mount the file system from from root options in settings in the app little pop-up that reads Sorry test Failed feature cannot run on your phone. IMO don't think it's this rom cuz I've nandroided back to Nfinite's .2 version and it does it on that version too.Just thought I'd let you know. Maybe someone else running Estrong file Explorer could repeat this or is it just my phone. Other than that little hic-up this is as smooth as your last rom. Thanks for all your hard work and keep it up,Hope school continues to go well for you.

Everything runs great except that I can't get dalvik to move.

At work so I can't spend much time posting the relevant tidbits, but suffice it to say that it says to run a2sd repair, which also fails out.

I will reflash when I hit lunch or when I head home tonight and see if it helps, but I figured I'd pass this along, as I don't remember having this issue on the other LiquidSense or NFX roms.

update: must have been tired when I flashed, I know this was based off of the NFX rom, but forgot to remove the 05dalvik2cache file..

dalvik moved to my cache partition successfully and everything is running smooth as silk.

So i installed this one awhile back but tethering didnt work... i needed it at the time so i went back to my stock rom, so yesterday i installed it again as my stock rom is acting up tethering still dont work, i even tried a version from the market, and still no go... any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guitardoc64:
Try resetting the su permissions, go to manage apps and clear data on the tethering app, boot to recovery and wipe the dalvik. Try it again. I'll do some more looking around, I remember seeing problems with tether in other "parallel" threads (NfiniteFx, other LiqidSense) but I haven't been really thinking or messing with it much lately. I'm actually not running the one in the OP. I'm running the version prior to Kifno's tweaks. You might also try replacing the deca kernel with the zenkernel. It's in the thread and the op I believe. It's the one that fixed the jogball light. I found that it works better with this build anyway. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll post the links.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DWhite456:
i am going to root my buddies hero and load a rom for him. He is not very techy.

Is this a good stable ROM that he can use as a daily driver? If not, can anyone suggest a sense rom that would be the best for his non techy ass? hehe thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guitardoc64:
Yep this one is good. I recommend installing the zenkernel instead of the built-in deca kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Id recommend ninfinity's rom or fresh2.4. Before you flash any rom you should take a little time to read as much as possible about the rom so your aware of the issues users have had while running the particular rom. Also ask your Friend what he mainly uses his phone for and try to find a rom to fit those needs.

how to tweak further?

Could you explain it more in detail?

I have questions here about your tweak.

1. Is it necessary to set dalvik to sd after deleting the two files?

2. if so, what app did you use to set dalvik to sd?

3. where can I get the super circle battery mod for this rom?

4. Did you install Zenkernel?

5. What do you mean by oc'ed to 768 with setcpu? Does it mean that you used setcpu app to set 768? if so, what governer did you select?

This rom is very fast and stable. I want to keep this rom for my daily usage, but I want to remove the always-being GPS icon on notification and change the battery mod to a circle one, and have some tweak to improve speed if possible.

Thanks for your help, in advance.

hey man, jumping over from the wildheroc till they get the last few bugs worked out. anyways, just flashed, flashed the latest jbobs kernel with it along with juwells ram optimisation, damn dude what a smoker...fast as hell can not believe the difference.....try it, i think youll be impressed...later and thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Damn lol, I figured the .35 kernel might help but I didn't realize it would help this much. It's snappier and twice as smooth as any Cyanogenmod Rom on the .29 kernel. And it feels 100% stable so far. The only thing I'm missing are some 2.2+ apps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drlzanej:
Hear that man, flash juwe11-777-ram optimisers over it and dude, that lil bastaard will fly !!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
I've run for almost a day now with Juwe's script and I still can't believe how fast this is. In all seriousness its just as snappy as any cm7 Rom I've tried and 3 times faster than 2.3 WildSense. And its got all the old stock features and great camera quality. I'm gonna give it all a good test run at work today and see how it goes.

Anyone that hasn't tried this, try it now lol, you won't regret it.

Myself, i was just kinda expierimenting and more or less stumbled onto the combination. Ive been running it for 4 1/2 days now without a hitch. I think im gonna stick with it for a while.myself. at least until something better comes up, but i dont see that happnin all to soon, lol

Is there a way to disable a2sd? I'd rather use FR.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Fr should still work I think... I just used Titanium Backup to convert a bunch of my "must have" apps (Facebook, Google Maps etc.) To system apps and freed up app space that way instead.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tibson:
FR still works, but everything is getting installed to the a2sd partition and not the internal memory. I want to just delete or disable the a2sd process.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Guessing its thanks to liquid, not the kernel but I'm getting excellent battery life too. Everything is beautiful, even the shutter speed on the camera is faster

Edit: This is with 352/692 smartassv2, gps on, sync on, etc. I wasn't trying to get better battery life or anything
