this is how you start a day off right... Thank you aosp..

<insert witty line about your rom here>
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PhntmParadox:
I didn't think so, but I couldn't remember. I figured it was better safe than sorry. I guess not so in this case. This is good to know moving forward. I usually full wipe, but didn't feel like messing with the fully setting the phone up again this morning.

My real concern is the screen animations. I know they're just for show, but I liked them. They made me feel all fuzzy inside.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rickyq12:
Do I need to flash Gapps again once I update to 03/01????

I am running Gapps for GB already.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
No sir.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rickyq12:
Thanks for the quick response bro, I appreciate it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ehurt152:
Thanks, aosp!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I think you read it wrong. It's not a feature per se, rather it is just something you can do now on a non-rooted phone, whereas pre 2.3.3, you had to be rooted. You will still need an app to actually take the screen shot. See below from Android Central :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
Ah, thanks for the clarification. ShootMe it shall be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
I must say... I stayed on AOSP Froyo for quite a while, until some of the initial major bugs were worked out of this GB build. I've been running on GB now for almost two weeks and it keeps getting better. AOSP is the freakin' man (along with cyanogen and all the rest of the devs as well). Thanks guys... ever since I started mod'ing my Hero I have loved it and I still do thanks to you guys. Hell, the only thing it could use is a LED flash for the camera and working Flash player. :):D:):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] btaylor545:
Woot newest release fixed video playback no more resetting the phone to watch more than 6 videos thx aosp as always you do some amazing work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
Does anyone know why I get an MD5 mismatch when attempting to restore a nandroid to 3/01?

I nandroided back to Sense to update profile/prl, and when I went back to restore the nandroid I made from 3/01, it said MD5 mismatch and I lost all the data tied to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
Awesome! Flashed it and testing now. 15 min in and so far, so good. Hopefully the GPS bugs have been worked out in the latest version (I'm pretty convinced they're upstream from aosp).

Thanks for all the hard work, aosp!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Did you rename the folder the backups were stored in?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
I didn't, no.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:
how about videos on your sdcard?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Hmmm... I have had these issues with CWM and that's why I had moved to RA 1.7. But initial releases of this ROM needed CWM 3.0.0.5, so reverted back and not done any Nandroid restore since then.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:
I am not sure how long this has been but the signal bars and 3G stuff keeps going from green to white depending on signal level. I am guessing something was missed in the theming of the stock GB stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Noticed in the new version that the battery icon changes every 5%, great change, however the icons are horrendously blurry compared to everything else. And I was not able to modify them preflash. I got an error saying the ROM was bad...Everything else seems fine. I did a full wipe and flash of everything as I am no longer using the Hero as my daily phone, so I could be down for awhile ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I did a full wipe and flashed 2-27 last night and now my phone wont receive incoming calls.

Finally works after 4 restarts. The first three didn't cut it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wesssider:
Planning the same and I donated too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Here's a strange one...flashed the full unaltered ROM, after a full wipe of /boot, /system, /data, /cache and I have no ring tones, notifications, alarms, etc. They all appear in /system/media, but alas, when I go to change them, the only option is "silent" :confused:

Problem flashing 2/27

I tried flashing the 2/27 update after only wiping the cache and wiping the dalvik cache and then when it when it starts on the htc screen for about a minute then goes into the clockwork screen. Tried several times, same result. Am I missing some obvious step or is this just a fluke? This is the first time I have tried to do just an update and not a total wipe, starting from scratch. If at all possible I would like to just update because I'm getting tired of reinstalling everything and setting everything up from scratch. By th e way, I'm updating from 2/25 and and using firerat, if that makes a difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
Did you rename your back up by any chance, could also be corrupted
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
Very strange. Mine are working fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
You need to reflash the FR-boot after flashing any update zips.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
Thanks AOSP! Your next cold one is on me :D:D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
2/27 was odd for me for some reasons. I've been using aosp's gb since late december, flashing each iteration as it came out. I couldn't get 2/27 to flash. Would just hang on the htc screen (this was with cache/dalvik wipe only and a full wipe). When 3/1 came out I flashed it and all went as before. Could be a firerats' issue, but it's an issue I never had with any of the other builds. I would suggest bypassing 2/27 and going straight to 3/1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
GPS is still broked in 3/1 2.3.3 build. Phone crashed and rebooted after about a an hour of only GPS Status running. Something "bad" is definitely happening with the GPS. Memory usage doesn't slowly increase on any processes, nor does performance slowly degrade. The GPS crash happens suddenly and without warning, followed by all processes crashing and the system rebooting about 30 seconds later. The GPS apps and Location Services are both running the Dalvik VM, how can they take out the whole system?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
Just wanted to give a loud shout-out to AOSP for this ROM. Running beautifully!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:
do you have jit enabled?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] winter128:
Ongoing SD Video Issue

As with any version beyond 2.1, the video only plays a little beyond 1 hour then loops back somewhere around the beginning. Unfortunately I've noticed this in every ROM with 2.2 or 2.3. I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been tackled yet...... as always though other than the video issue this is a FANTASTIC ROM!!!!! Many many thanks:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I tell ya what...I am having a heck of a time with this build. Doing everything as I always have...Just did a full wipe again, flashed ROM again, flashed Gapps again, booted up again, set phone up again...

1 - No system sounds (rings, alarms, notifications) but they are in the folder

2 - Music app won't read music off SD Card (tried unmounting and remounting)

I am doing everything the same as I have for every ROM I have flashed forever, but the 3/1 build does not like me. Time to roll back :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] winter128:
Thats strange.... I just updated to 3/1 build and sounds and music are both great
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:
i think your heroC knows of your new epic and shes not happy :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I just did another full wipe and flash of everything back to the 02/27, set it up and everything is great, had all sounds, music was read off the SD card just fine... Gonna try flash over that to the 03/01 build and see what happens....:eek:

*EDIT* Flashing the 02/27 first, setting it up and flashing over to 03/01 fixed it. Not sure why a straight up flash of 03/01 didn't work, but...I think all is good now...time to remove some apps :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Ha! Could very well be, however...I didn't abandon the beauty :) I am still using it. It has become my work phone and the Epic is the daily personal phone. Added another line, did a switch on the numbers and all is good :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] poashll:
What recovery were you using when you created backup of sense? I believe when you restore it also restores that recovery. So if you want to restore your 3/01 you need to reflash your new recovery to do so.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] poashll:
The new flashes have Gallery2D not Gallery3D. I have not gotten 2D to ever sync with Picasa.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
No, I've never touched any of the "Beware Dragons!" settings. I figure I'll wait until everything is working 110% before I start screwing with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattrva:
In love with this ROM! Came from AOSP 2.2 to 2/21 2.3.2 and now 3/1 2.3.3.

Thanks for all the hard work and help from all the users!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runningslow:
The same has happened to me with the last few builds as well. I haven't flashed the 3/1 build, yet. (Doing so now)

EDIT: I just used Google Nav, not GPS Status. This morning, Signal Lost and reboot after about 15 minutes of usage, then again after another 30 minutes or so.

No JIT, Compcache set to 18%, CPU 264/710 ONDEMAND with stock kernal (set from CM Setting)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Mr Google gave this to me. Regenerates the md5 for your nandroid replace YOUR_NANDROID_FILE_NAME your nanadroid file name

adb shell

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/YOUR_NANDROID_FILE_NAME

# rm nandroid.md5

# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
Not to nitpick a google search result, but you can skip "rm nandroid.md5"; you're overwriting it in the next command.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
Would seeing the full logcat from when the GPS-related crash occurs help at all to track down the problem? It happens reliably enough that its not hard to get.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rixter1972:
Can someone put up a mirror for 3/1. I can't seem to download from the op.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:
run a logcat using gps and pastebin the last kmsg for me please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] btaylor545:
Yup streaming and sdcard videos no proba been running it all day since you released it watched at least 10 sdcard videos and 20 streams from at least 5 different sources everything is working great no probs so far
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I ran google nav today for 49 minutes in traffic, instant lock, never lost it, never rebooted, I was also running music the whole time. Screen was on, plugged in, 264/729 interactive, no jit, compcache 18, 32m vm heap, surface dithering on, window anim on - all set fast, build prop 131072. I think that's everything applicable? Worked like a dream.

So, sorry if I misunderstand you, but, recovery is not part of the nand backup/restore. I have not backed up in 2.5.0.1 and then restored using 3.0.0.5. I have however done that in reverse (restore a 3.0.0.5 nand using 2.5.0.1)...

tame the dragons, they are awesome, lol

see above
[Hero CDMA Android Development] btaylor545:
I haven't ran a video over an hr yet but I did run one around 45 min with no prob
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
well for that matter you could skip the cd and put the path in the last line and have a one liner.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wwejr4540:
Based on previous posts I had seen, I moved my old RA-1.6 generated nandroid of my last sense ROM to the CWM backup folder and it restored without any problem using CWM-3.0.0.5. I updated my PRL and then restored my AospCMod nandroid.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runningslow:
http://pastebin.com/hunLrchY

As requested. Probably more than you need, but this is the entire logcat.txt from the time I started the logcat just before opening Maps/Nav. I didn't time it exactly, but I'd say it crashed after about 15 minutes. This was just sitting in the window in my office with Nav running. This is with the 2/27 rom. I'm getting ready to flash 3/1.

Made a few changes before this run, too: No JIT, Compcache set to 18%, CPU 264/710 INTERACTIVE with stock kernal (set from CM Setting), 32M VM heap, build prop still at 65537.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twcrosno:
I am running asop 3/1 using sprint nav and I am having no problems. In fact, it has been a few updates back that the problem stopped. I know not everybody likes the sprint nav, but it has been working for me. Well, except the fact that I can never get it to update to 2.8. Sorry, quoted the wrong person.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pavanmaverick:
WOW! This ROM is absolutely sensational.

That being said, the one lingering issue I have is WMA playback. Can someone comment on whether this ROM supports it natively?

If not, is there any way to enable WMA playback, or is my only alternative to use a third-party player that supports WMA independently of Android?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hiyo3:
Is it true that there is something wrong with ringtones on this rom?

There are a million ringtones, alerts and notifications in ogg format in the rom zip file, but cannot access them when flashed. Only three choices.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
2.3.3 things?

Anybody else getting a gmail FC, mines been all wonky since the version updated to 2.3.4.1 ??? Also had to uninstall swype and run the installer from scratch :( byebye dictionary... maybe related to 2.3.3 ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cortacanya:
Whats best?

need some opinions on whats best

CWR 3.0.0.5 to 2.5.0.1.

or

Amon Ra 1.6.2

Tweaked Build prop v.0.9 or which version

cyanomod settings

or

Kernels

TO JIT or not

app2sd or Firerat MTD

or Darktremors

Its getting a bit much and feeling like a tennis match
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
I had to stop using Swype altogether on this ROM. Everytime I rebooted the phone or flashed an update I got the Blue Box of Doom.

But yeah I'm with ya, what's the point of using Swype and SwiftKey on custom ROMS if you keep losing your dictionary?

An idea, though, maybe you could do a fresh install of Swype, then back it up with Titanium. Then anytime it eats ****, you can restore it, dictionary and all. Works for my latest SwiftKey Beta.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
My SwiftKey dictionary is backed up via Titanium scheduler (along with everything else) on a daily basis. The dictionary survives the wipe each time. This is, a full wipe with every new ROM. I don't flash over out of habit and to ensure I keep any "bugs" I may encounter to a min.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Gmail works fine for me. Sounds like the typical Swype issues to me, ha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
My SwiftKey Beta is too. So, in theory, it should work with Swype, Titanium restoring it to it's workable state with the dictionary.

And I'm fairly certain that Swype's lack of functionality is tied to this or any other ROM. I encountered the same issues on stock Sense 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Not with Gmail, but I had FC issues with Titanium and LPP. Also had issues with no ringtones and sounds showing up and with the ROM reading my music from the SD Card. I had other minor problems all over the place...and yes, it was after a full wipe ;)

Needless to say, I went back to the 02/27 build, which is just fine :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
i had to reinstall swype on 3/1 as well.. typically i just have to change the input method to stock keyboard and back to swype to make it work, but this one needed a fresh install.. i assume its because the version changed to 2.3.3.. anytime versions have changed i have had to do it..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
As long as the dictionary is stored within Swype. Remember, there is a separate OS User Dictionary that you may want to backup too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
Testing it now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
No on gmail yes on swype.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
thanks for the responses, I figured the swype re-install was 2.3.3 related, gonna try to TB backup data only in a bit. As for the gmail, who knows, I uninstalled it (was in system) and DL/reinstalled (to data), works ok so far.

EDIT: anybody been having issues with TB not reading version numbers correctly? For instance, in TB my facebook,gmail,youtube,maps,voicesearch,etc. (flashed in full gapps) show the flashed version numbers, but they've all updated to current and show correctly in manage apps .... Wonder of that's somehow related to the gmail FC I had .... ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I'm not restoring them, these apps were flashed with older versions and auto updated to the current versions. Again, they show the old versions in TB, and the new/correct versions in manage apps. I just uninstalled TB, and reinstalled it, they still read as the old versions :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
my gmail is FC too

EDIT: clearing applications data and cache seems to have fixed it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
I just uninstalled swype and reinstalled with the installer. GTG. I went to TB to restore Swype data, and I was back the the blue box and the "wrong package for your device" error. went through the process again (minus the TB restore) and it works fine. For those of you restoring your dictionary after reinstall, what's the secret?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I'll try that if it keeps FCing after next flash. Thanks

I tried that just now, same thing here, no worky, guess we have to start over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I noticed TB doing that earlier, never paid attention to it.

Opinion

@Ranger61878...how do you like the epic?? Ive been racking my brain for days trying to decide between the Epic, Evo, or get a new hero for next to nothing(cheap for performance:)...Ive been in the Evo's skirts, right at home since i know the fam (HTC)...Samsung however...not so familer, after all the help and ease of The hero community... How has yours reacted to such tinkering...i assume you HAVE been tinkering...

I apologize if off topic :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I would compare the development communities before deciding (EVO has CM7, MIUI, etc. Epic has... leaked 2.2 builds?? :p).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] harpstar:
Thanks for all the work aosp.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
Exactly what im starting to think, i would hope over time it would improve tho with a device like the Epic...Super Amoled..OC to 1.6ghz...these are wait bait me..

I was just making that point when some Epic and Stock EVO friends of mine try to clown on my SUPER hero...they then called a few days later to have me work on them...There pretty glitchy i guess..

But with all the great contributors and devs on these furoms, eventually such talent will move on to the next and new... And its what phones you guys choose that decides the community

Maybe its more parting from this communtiy then my phone...sniffle sniffle

Side question

When I wipe Dalvik Cache I get

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)"

Followed by "Dalvik Cache wiped"

Is that initial statement anything to worry about?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
+1 I've been getting the same message ever since I attempted data2ext. When this failed (actually, I failed) I somehow lost 2 gb from my 16 gb sdcard. TB reads it as a 14gb card. And I get the above message.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sk8goofy:
Hey Guys,

I'm having some trouble getting this to work. I flashed rom then rebooted and it is just stuck in boot loop. I tried wiping factory reset and its still not working. Can anyone help me out. Am I missing a step?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] street253:
You have to go in and wipe everything.

If your using clockwork recovery go under partitions and

format cache,data,system,boot

then go under advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache

Also dotn forget to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partion
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sk8goofy:
This is what I needed thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sk8goofy:
Thanks man! I found the answer a min after you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
I always find that if I flash gapps right after I flash the rom it boots. Only way I've gotten it to. This thing is blazing fast now that its settled in. Decafuct kernal is working. 2.3 has alot of cool new aesthetic changes. Its stable enough to be my daily! Great work aosp n thanks man

[Hero CDMA Android Development] VirusZer0:
I read thru but couldnt find exactly what im looking for. What EXACTLY DOESN"T work?

Thanks In Advance

[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
I think you have boot to recovery and go to advanced and mount it through there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tubazeppelin:
irrelevant? hm... yep...!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shadodragon:
Had the same problem. Had to boot to recovery to mount the SD card.

So thus far, no GPS, no camera, no Bluetooth(?) and no microSD USB mounting. Animations are a little laggy/choppy. Some UI elements appear low rez to me.

Still, everything else seemed solid. Only ran it for about 5 hours before I had to swap back over to my 2.2 AOSP nandroid... but only due to the need for GPS at the time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ubnub82:
Why isnt the market on the gapps? Can someone please tell me how to put it on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Yes, only way to mount sd is through recovery, for now. This kink will get worked out. My bluetooth is working fine. Had to reconnect all devices.

When first flashing, I did not have enough space dedicated to system, so not all Gapps were loaded. Had to dedicate 120mb for ROM system. Are you using firerats? If so, you must have at least 116mb - and preferably 120mb - dedicated for system. AOSP's GB ROM uses 115.2mb. If not using firerats, try formatting system, cache and data through partitions menu in CWM, then wiping dalvik under advanced, then reflashing ROM and Gapps together. I've seen that work for others.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Wow! For a first iteration this is amazing. Running firerats at 120 4.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
OK - Digging GB -

Few notes....G-mail not working -

You can open and Sync - if you try to open an e-mail it restarts g-mail.

Browser Works....just change home page from Google...and ...don't go to google.

Not Running FireRats and had to wipe and Format all to load -

Wiped and formated - then Flashed GB - Reboot.

Wiped Cache and Davlik - Flash Gapps - Reboot

Flash Sprint VVM -

Run TB Recovery - Pulls over all apps and Setup -

:D:D:D:D:D:D

NO Flashing Sprint HERO

:confused::confused::confused::confused: I ve try to flash it several times It doesn't seem to work ..I've Done it with clockworkMod and RA Recovery v1.6.2 ...

AM I Doing it wrong, I did make sure to WIPE reset and wipe Dalvik , yet seems not to work!!.....Any advice would be greatly appreciate it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Try CWM, Nandroid first, and in partition menu format data, cache, system, and under advanced menu, wipe dalvik. Flash Rom first, reboot, then flash Gapps. Are you using firerat? If so, you will need to change your mtdpartmap.txt file to 120 4.
