I set mine up for voicemail only (not the FULL google voice) if that makes a difference, also, you could try youmail in the market, somebody was saying it's nice, and I'm sure there's a few other vvm apps out there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] motoelliot:
Try youmail in the market.. works great!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Lol! Back to VVM again. RVD-great idea and survey. If only Ranger would confess to photoshopping those stats ( how funny is that? Like he's going to lie about battery life) . Too funny.

I've decided to try ondemand instead of interactive. I want to try Pandora now that I remembered my password. Get ready Ledward Ka'apana, time for some guitar work. I want to check for choppiness- which I don't expect to hear. Now I need to check with both governor settings.

It looks like tomorrow could be a S0be day for those with OKD.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I know it...like I have nothing better to do than Photoshop some stats. I'm a busy guy...far too busy to Photoshop something as pointless as battery stats :)

I need help restoring my Hero! Tried to install RockSteady ROM followed step by step instructions. Instructions are almost same as AOSP other than two additional steps of Formatting Boot and System. Reboot but is stuck in HTC white Screen. Tried pulling battery to restore AOSP no luck still stuck on HTC white screen. Only difference is when USB plugged to my PC it will display Fast Boot USB. Also tried installing Sprint RUU with HTC loader and it cant find Boot Loader. Could someone Please help Restore my HERO.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
What recovery are you using? If you have clockworkmod, did you accidentally format recovery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mongolx:
No i did not. I am using lates recovery 3.0.2.4 i think was. Problem is i cant access recovery at all. Any help is greatly needed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
hmmm.....are you sure? I fell victim to this after installing the newest ClockWorkMod. When formatting and wiping everything I accidentally hit "format recovery". After doing this I was unable to get past the white HTC screen and when I tried to get into recovery, I was stuck on fastboot.

I experienced something this morning for the first time and I'm not sure what caused it or what's happening. Any insight would be appreciated.

Three days ago I switched over to interactive and installed Autokiller set to Optimum (40/50/60). The past two days have been fantastic, with the phone running smoother and faster than it ever has, with battery life that has been great. I've used it moderately all day both days (~1 hour talk time, 2 hours music, 30 minutes or so of games, email, texts, twitter, wifi on, background data on) and had 30 to 40 percent left at the end of the 16 hour day.

This morning when I got to work I switched on airplane and wifi and set the phone on my desk. (No signal at all in my Faraday cage of a building). About 5 minutes later the phone restarted by itself. It has now shown that it's at 90% battery for the past two hours despite me using it to Gtalk and play wordfued. It's also acting a little sluggish.

This is the first non-Gnav restart that I've had since switching to AOSP from cm6.1 in early march. I haven't changed any settings since three days ago when I swapped the governor and installed Autokiller. Does anyone have an idea why the battery might be stuck on 90%? Should I recalibrate? Have those of you using the Interactive governor and/or Autokiller experienced something similar?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
I run ONDEMAND w/ autokiller on "strict" and have never experienced a random reboot w/ these settings. Are you running JIT? If so maybe try turning it off as it may not be playing nice. Sounds like a calibration may be in-order as well if your batt stats are all wonky. ;)

Flash or Java anyone?

I am ducking now, as I know this has been asked before.

But since so many "impossible" things have been done to our Heros....... are any of the Gingerbread upgrades going to allow us the play with Flash or Java?

Just wanted to stay up to date.

Thank you.:confused:

Agreed, the devs here have done wonders for the heroC, but it's a hardware limitation not software. So to answer your question, no i'ts never gonna work unless Adobe makes it compatible for our ArmV6 processor, they only currently support ArmV7. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
No, unless flashing a rom can magically insert a new processor and a real GPU into the Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] radioman42001:
No Flash and No java

Thanks to stayclean & vayman for the quick answer. I guess I am going to live without then, as I am very happy with my Hero now that it is rooted and has gingerbread. I can live without!

Long Live the Hero!:o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PortableTech:
This may be a completely stupid question, and I did try to find the answer before asking, but what is the difference between the base CyanogenMod 7 Rom and the aospCMod rom? Or is there one?

firerat

this might be the most short lived thing ever, lol. I just did firerats for the first time, worked fine, but now the market blows, so I have 1.5.8 and I was pretty sure RVD said something about not needing the market fix. Any help there? I may just remove it.......

EDIT: apparently, if I watch the progress bar with the dropdown open, it works, otherwise the ***** just stops......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Duce asking a question, this is a FIRST one... (atleast to me :p).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Duce, I have never gotten 1.5.8 to work. I stayed at 1.5.7 and used the market fix here along with

adb shell

mkdir /cache/download

chown system:cache /cache/download

chmod ug+rwx /cache/download

chmod a+x /cache/download

and it works fine. Not sure if this flies with 1.5.8.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I use 1.5.8 and had to apply that fix to get my market working. I did not have to apply that fix before CM7 RC4, though (RC3 and below worked without the fix, always used 1.5.8).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
thanks for the replies 24601,c00ller. It seems to "work" with the dropdown opened, weird but it works. If I run into more issues I'll try the adb ****. Hey c00ller, do you also do the bindcache thing or not? Also, andythegreenguy, I have asked hundreds of questions, and still do, "stay teachable" they say ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JohnPublic:
I do not have firerat's installed and when I download or update anything in the market I have to watch the dropdown, else it will give me a "download unsuccessful" message. I also have to update / install things one at a time, else I get an insufficient space message!

EDIT: On an unrelated note, I noticed this morning that I can not view threads with the XDA app while logged in, else it force closes. *boggle*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
As I recall, bindcache seemed to fix the need to leave the dropdown open. I still get a few random "download unsuccessful" messages telling me I don't have enough room. But you just redownload and the app always loads the second time. Good luck. For the few hastles, having the extra room is worth it to me (kinda said that backwards :p)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
As far as market issue with firerat's, I only have done the S0be fix, never the 06bindcache. I haven't had any issues in a while. Last one was saying it didn't install when it did. Weird, but that was a while ago.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Here is something else you can try for market Duce. ;) If I get an unsuccessful download or it hangs on starting dowload I just cancel the download start it again and then go into the app and watch the download from the app's page and it usually works w/out issue. (Credit to realmccoy813 for the post)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
+1, if you just stay in the Market app during the d/l, it usually goes through fine; Yoda speaks the truth.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
Not sure if this makes a difference, but what size are your MTD partitions set to? I was using 1.5.6 from the beginning and not have any issues after applying sObe's fix.

I can't find the post in this thread that first mentioned it, but with 1.5.8, he recommended MTD of 128 32. With that set up, I have not had to apply any fixes. I am currently running "update all" in the market for 11 apps and no issues.

I was going to try reducing the MTD with my next clean install and see what happens. But with the way it is, loss of a few MB to save future hassle seems like a fair trade.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
FWIW I've only used FR 1.5.3, prob b/c it was the only version available when I first installed it. Granted, I've had the similar issues w/ FR that everyone else is having but as far as I know and I have read, the newer versions only offer support for more devices. So installing a newer version isn't going to fix that I wouldn't think. I also remove the bindcache and do s0be's fix on each fresh install. As you can see from my sig I use a 30MB for /cache and still run into market issues. I may try a larger partition of like >40MB to see if that helps, as I've see other post about less/no issues w/ a higher partition.

CyanogenMod settings

CyanogenMod tweaks.

I searched around for threads providing details about the CM7 settings and what the general experience is from using defaults and where tweaks help and under what conditions.

The ones I have tweaked are:

1) Screen timeout and turn off delay. I bumped them up.

2) Automatic backlight - using custom light levels.

3) Input settings - Search Key behavior changed press and long press to voice search and google search.

4) Status bar - Show clock and battery %

5) Performance - Smartass 176/691, set on boot

6) Sound - Quiet hours set

As you see most are usability tweaks. Just smartass is a perf. tweak.

What performance tweaks are most doing?

using latest DH a reflash got my app back but still cannot update is weird I've even removed all traces and dl the market version says incompatible. also something else just happened I got a 8 gig card from a friend did the swap routine from my current card everything runs fine but once I go to recovery to wipe dalv.cache I get weird message says can't mount some block then file exists then wipes the cache. I am not using. any other mod than dh theme cwr that comes with rom manager. any ideas fellas/gals
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
The app issue is DH for sure. The sd thing, my guess is your using 2.5.0.7 and your old card was partitioned and the new one isn't?

My df -h shows /system @ 80.1 w/ OP gapps. If you're not using theme or anything else that would add to /system you should be able to go lower on both /system & /cache. ;)

If you haven't done so already maybe a full wipe and fresh install is in-order? Just a thought. ;)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] radrian92:
Simply continue with the rest and exit out and you should be able to download ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
I have totally screwed things up several times in the past and have found it at a certain point, just go to the sprint site and reflash with the stock locked rom, and start over. Sometimes it's just easier.

ps It also gives you an opportunity to do any radio updates, etc., easily while you're on that rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Did you flash ENG-SPL to enable fastboot? If not, then that is your first step. ;) Based on the output that you're getting it doesn't appear that you have it enabled. See my sig for link. I can't stress this enough, PLEASE read up on it before you proceed w/ it as there is potential to do damage if you're not careful. I recommend reading the entire thread at least once.

This is also a great suggestion as well. :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
With versions earlier than CM7 RC4 I have been doing the rm 06bindcache. However if I try that in RC4, my phone won't even boot. Logcat shows there is not enough space in some partition. So I left the 06bindcache so I could boot. However, I could not get market downloads to work. Using the s0be fix makes it work again, and I leave the 06bindcache there.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
If you change your mtdpartmap.txt file you need to go through the full firerat process to "capture" the new settings. Assuming you are not flashing a new rom:

1.	Nandroid Backup

2.	Echo "mtd *** **” > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt {with *** ** as your new settings}

3.	Flash FR-recovery-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip

4.	format system, cache and data (either with clockwork or fastboot erase system -w )

5.	reboot to recovery

6. nand restore

7. Flash FR-boot-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip

Your new settings are incorporated. If flashing a new rom with the new settings, after step 5 do whatever you normally do with a new rom, kernel, tweaks, gapps, etc., then always do the FR-Boot last.

Bumpity bump bump bump
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsonjs:
I'm in a pickle. I made the stupid mistake of re-naming a couple of my recent Nandroids not knowing it would mismatch the MD5 when trying to restore.

I opened the MD5 sum file with notepad to find any clues as to what the exact numbering of the backup was but had no luck.

Of course the 1st few numbers are the date -- 2011-04-07.XX.XX.XX <---- and I'm guessing the X's are the exact time.

Anyone know where I can find this info inside the backup folder if possible at all?

Thanks a TON in advance if I can fix this. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spleef:
I've always renamed my backups but only through rom manager not sure if that's how you've done it but that's what works for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 808Bill:
Just checking, when you renamed them, did you include any spaces in the new file name?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
You can rename them all you want...just make sure there are no spaces. If you still get mismatches it's a bad backup :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsonjs:
Yes I did, and unlike spleef, I renamed them directly from my sd card. :(

Woah! Didn't know that ranger ... thanks a ton! Going to try without spaces and see what happens. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
What version of the Market are you having problems with? 2.3.4?

The "download unsuccessful" message that some people are getting in the market isn't a firerat issue. I've never run firerat (I run dtapps2sd) and I've gotten the same message after a rom update. As others have said, I just ignore it because it's usually incorrect (the download was actually good), but even if the download was unsuccessful I just retry and it goes through fine the second time.

Lol ya I all of a sudden started having problems with setcpu after I installed go SMS pro just to try it out. Was really odd.

Ya exactly what he said. Me too

So I nandroided back to my known-good build of 3/26 and did a My Tracks recording of a 4-hour, 65-mile bicycle ride this afternoon, with no GPS problems encountered. :cool:

Here's how the battery drained (started the ride at 93% battery, ended at 35% ... the small curl up at the end was because I had just plugged the charger back in):

JIT was on, no purging assets, Airplane mode was on (GPS was running in unassisted standalone mode), PowerAMP was running the whole time, 352/352 ondemand screen-off SetCPU profile, 3072KB SD card tweak, 32MB VM heap. Notice how much of a battery hog the GPS app is, compared to the music app (PowerAMP). :eek:

So I went through just under 60% of the battery for 65 miles, which tells me that I have enough battery for a century ride, with tunes all the way. :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Haha...you, sir are right. :)

Not sure which step you're using but you can use step 2 from the romrepo except that the recoveries will be located in the mirror.kanged.net folder or the mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com folder instead of the koush.tandtgaming.com folder. It depends which version of rom manager you have.
