Loving the updates Aosp, just ran into an issue that someone can potentially help with. Can send messages as someone mentioned earlier but can't receive them after a fresh install of 2/18..Reflashed after wiping a couple times and still no incoming messages. Really hoping i don't have to revert to a sense rom, update prl/what-not, then flash back on top..any alternatives?

I am having the same issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Flashed first 2-18 build over 2-16 build after cache/dalvik wipe. Had 31mb free left.

Then started from scratch all wipes/formats/factory reset, same issue.

Started from scratch again for second 2-18 build, same issue except had 41mb free.

Rolled back to 2-16 build and have 75mb free.

Staying on 2-16 for now.

FYI

GPS fixed :)

Hey guys I just wanted to chime in saying that the 20110218-200318 version seems to have fixed my GPS issues as well :D

Thank you for all of your hard work devs and testers!

Below is a link to the post that I got it from, all credit is where credit is due, I am simply giving my two cents in the matter ;)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] PhntmParadox:
Sorry if i missed it, but how permanent is this fix? If I'm running 2/16, then do this fix, then decide to do a fresh instal of 2/18, do I have to run this fix again?

EDIT: Ignore the above question. I skipped a bunch of pages trying to catch up, didn't even notice that there's already another update with more kung-fu fix action.

p.s.-HUGE THANKS to everyone who worked to get us here!

My friend says he flashed this Rom and it removed his clockworkmod recovery so he could not flash a nandroid backup. Does this really remove clockwork? Im really thinkin about flashing this rom

I successfully recorded a 2 mile (25 minute) walk/jog, with Runkeeper. GPS is working for me. Up to this version, it's always gotten stuck at about .14 miles.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ULoveAriana:
Whoaa =O Never heard of that...it didn't remove mine though & since this is the first I'm seeing of this issue I don't think it's removed anyone else's either ...I think
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Never heard of that... did he upgrade to 3.0.0.5 clockwork? Or does recovery just not work? If he's using 3.0.0.5, his old nandroids wont work as 3.0.0.5 isn't compatible. Otherwise he should be able to reflash the regular recovery from the Rom Manager app.

Try the mirrored one, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11465638&postcount=7073
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
So 15min drive to work, GPS locked fast and accurate. However, I think the memory loss issues still exist from 2/18v1. On 2/16 I had about 60mb free, on either version of 2/18 I have about 40mb. I lost about 20mb of internal storage (data) on both updates on 2/18. I did flashover AND a wipe trial. It seems like part of the build takes up about 20mb of data, which really isn't that bad, just weird. I wonder if that is part of the GPS fix? It seems I'm not the only one, but I am curious if everybody has the same issue. This would of course be without firerats or data2ext or darktremor, etc. Just on the stock rom/gapps. Anybody else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] suckoos:
Mirrored one is much much better, thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
Make sure you do a fresh flash of the rom not flash over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I stated that yesyerday too on v1, but fyi, the way data is written has nothing to do with a wipe or flashover. The available internal mem (data) after a wipe is about 20-30mb smaller than the other builds, but GPS really DOES work, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I have the same amount of internal space as usual after flashing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
you use a mod like firerat or data2ext or darktremor? I think it has something to do with how the app data is written and the dalvik cache is stored. aosp acknowledged the space issue on 2/18v1 and said to try v2 and see if it worked. Looks like for me and *some* others it is the same...

EDIT: I should note, after a full wipe AND installing the same apps as a flashover, I am left with the lack of avail space compared to 2/16, regardless of the wipe. Maybe it writes the apps data differently? Try installing your same apps as 2/16 and see if your avail space is different. This is also assuming you didn't do the dalvik move posted here:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11465904&postcount=7081

EDIT 2: Also, after a wipe, noticed another weird thing related to /data (I think), if you try to restore data only in TBpro to an app after reinstalling from the market, the app FC's... I tried this on handcent, and it HAS worked on previous builds.

EDIT 3: Gave up on rebuilding from wipe again, nanded back to 2/16 and flashed over again, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
Could someone that has just done a vanilla install of just the 2/18 "b" version and GApps run a "df -h" command and post up the results? It will save a lot of trial/error time in sizing Firerat MTD partitions for the new build. (If anything says 100%, then you probably ran out of space during the flash and didn't get a full install)

Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
This is incorrect. Nandroids should work across versions.

The only incompatibility between the two is that you cannot restore an EXT4 partition using the 2.5 series. In fact, other than the newer menu hierarchy, there is no compelling reason to switch to the 3.0 series unless you use EXT4.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Why not just unzip it and check how big the folder is?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Dunno what all that means but my explanation is much simpler. I upgraded to 3.0.0.5. Tried to nandroid back, wouldn't work. None of my nandroids from 2.0.0.5 could be recovered. As far as I know, 3.0.0.5 nandroids work in 2.0.0.5, just not the other way around

kernel question

Does the bat tweak work for stock kernel and if i am using it i should certainly not use a cpu gov. in settings, right? Just run under 691 defaults ( using this roms stock kernel ) ?

I understand this question has been discussed before , but i the change log they've done some kernel work.

If I want to use apps2ext like firerat's (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...9-06-new-v134-now-available-as-flashable-zip/), will this or something similar work for CM7?

Edit: also, if you use firerat's custom mtd partitions, what is the max amount of internal data space you can get? I made a 256 MB ext3 partition on my sdcard and am using ~171MB of it

Hey yall! So I'm reading up on the S-OFF and unrevoked mod and in my readings I saw something about needing to use .27 radio to flash S-OFF but I remember reading in here that .29 radio is needed for GB (which I currently have .29radio & GB). So do I need jump back to a froyo based rom and get set up to flash unrevoked mod or has anyone been able to perform this mod from GB with .29 radio?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
The radios are flashable, you don't need to revert to an earlier rom to change radios.

I've seen the zips for the radios posted somewhere, but my feeble old memory fails me at the moment...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] I7IZI:
Sorry, let me rephrase that question. Is it safe to flash .27 radio over the top of GB build/.29 radio? Or should I revert to older rom first because supposedly you need to have .29 radio for GB?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
There is no "required radio" for GB...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
If you look in Impalers thread to get the 10.29 radio, there is a zip of the 4.27 in the the thread somewhere. It is either in hero android development or themes I think.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
The best known fix is to flash to a Sense-based ROM, update data profile, and receive a text message. Then you should be able to flash back to this ROM with no issue.

It was never required unless you were having an issue. Most of the people who had market problems were using Firerat's mod. Is your market having issues?

Most of the people who were having problems were using a VERY old radio (think 1.x). You shouldn't have any problem going back one or two radios to obtain S-OFF.

I'll do some experimenting later to see if I can find exactly which radio revisions were causing issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Thanks for clarifying, I understand your question correctly now. :)

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer, but stayclean appears to have answered already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] I7IZI:
Thank you! That's what I was looking for, I must have been thinking of something else I could have sworn I had read somewhere in this thread or in the wiki that .29 radio was needed for GB to work properly. So is it safe to flash unrevoked mod over .29 radio or should I follow the instructions :D and flash .27 radio first? lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] I7IZI:
Follow the wiki link at top of xda webpage and it's in the hero cdma wiki. ;)

My GPS still soft boots the phone aftera few minutes of use on the latest version.

I didn't do a full wipe, just cache and dalvik, but if someone can tell me it will help, I will.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Unrevoked doesn't currently support .29. You will need to roll back to .27 to flash the current method. Regaw said yesterday that he was gonna look into getting it to work w/ .29 so you may want to wait if you don't wanna roll back. But as stated you can find a link to the .5 RUU in his thread (sorry, can't post the link from phone) and use that to roll back to .27. ;) I rolled back to .27 w/ the .5 RUU when I did it and it worked fine. I haven't actually felt the need to go back to .29.

Looks like GPS is good to go. I only used it on the 10 minute drive back to my dorm from the deli, but it looks like GPS sticks. Before, GPS would freeze up after a few minutes (ie. Nav shows me standing still even though I'm moving).

I'm using firerat without any space issues, but I did have the typical market issues when flashing each new rom. I use this fix as opposed to what is in the wiki. Works fine. and would appear to save some room on the system. YMMV. Credit for this fix goes to danaff37 here.

Is it me or the video issue still exist I can only play maybe 4 or 5 nothing else after that I have to reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Glad that works for you, but I would recommend putting the symlink to /data/download instead of the sdcard. The sdcard vfat partition is probably very slow compared to internal storage, plus you will run into issues if e.g. you have the phone mounted as a USB storage device and try to use Market.

Of course stick with whatever works for you; it's just a recommendation.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
If you have an ext partition on your SD card, you can create a "userinit.d" and add a script to do what you want. I prefer to use a bind mount than a symlink.

I mounted my /data/dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache. Both are internal memory and /cache is never short on space.

You can use the below command in your script if you want or adjust to suit your needs.

mount -o bind /cache/dalvik-cache /data/cache

Almost forgot to give the script 750 permissions and change it to group "shell"

browser crashes on google

So no visible changes since alpha. I'm sure there were other things which changed.

Ive tried every suggestion, even using Titanium to restore google services. It doesnt work. I can however use the rom without google apps, and it works great. no issues. So, I guess i should just wait? Or should i flash the previous alpha, then gapps, then flash the newest alpha? what do you think?
