My understanding is that the only flash the hero can run is flash lite and its tied to the sense framework so will only work on sense roms. I know that the froyosense by zenulator has 10.1 but I never got it to work and again I don't think its actually flash 10.1 cause again its not a software problem but a hardware one.

Android Central is reporting that Android 2.3 source code is being pushed out right now to the Open Source Project:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
It is not obvious. CWM has a terrible user interface and the sdcard format is in a terrible spot. All the no no no no yes business is worthless because on that screen they don't tell what you are about to agree to like on the flash zip screen. Just look how many sdcards haw been wiped in the past month.

That beong said since I have switched to CWM I haven't had a single problem with a ROM bisbehaving as long as I do the fotmat boot system data and cache and I use firerats. Every once in a while with Armen 1.7 it would screw up.

I think an update to the partion menu is all that is needed. Maybe a menu item in the main menu to format all four partitions with one menu selection.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] D3FAULT:
I agree that CWM has a horrible UI.. I recently switched to it to be able to correctly wipe everything, and although I haven't wiped my SD card, I still think it's a bad UI.

As far as the ROM itself, I used it a bit last night and it seemed pretty solid, although I won't use it as my daily until the camera is working.

Props and thanks a lot for all of your hard work, aosp!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
I haven't posted this until now because I'm still doing the research, but I'm also getting terrible battery life, far worse than anything I've ever gotten before with any rom.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Remember to go do all your batt fixes". What battery fixes?

I'm running the same screen brightness settings I always have (I set them shortly after booting), I'm running the same SetCPU settings and I have nothing synced except Gmail, which is a push sync, not a pull sync, so it shouldn't affect battery life at all unless I get mail (which I almost never do, and haven't gotten any today).

I've even noticed that when I'm charging through a USB connection, it takes much longer to charge than it used to, which when taken together with the very fast drain when unplugged suggests that something is really pulling some current from the battery.

To all the people getting the screen off animation "working". Does it actually *work* or does it just not fail? The video I saw was hardly a little blip fade out, it was like a 5 second slog which caused smoke to seep out from the insides.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quique18:
My battery would last longer using Cyanogen 6.1. I tried installing the collin battery tweak and it seems that it's not compatible w this rom. I go on twitter or facebook for a quick minute, i don't feel that im using the phone that much for it to die so fast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Haven't flashed the latest yet, but battery life with 1.7 for me is about the same as always.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Agreed, 1.7 gave me very good battery life.

To clarify my earlier statement about "terrible" battery life with the new rom, I was in a meeting this afternoon and my battery dropped from 98% to 88% in one hour with absolutely no phone use at all. I didn't even wake the phone during that time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] D3FAULT:
Have you gone to Settings > About Phone > Battery Use to see what is using the battery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
I found that with the TV animation that you can set the DPI at 159 and it works. I could stand for everything to be off set and disfigured so I gave it a shoot. It worked
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinny8030:
Use a Task Killer to make your battery last. My Phone 8h44m18s on since 0.2 flashed and battery is at 80%
[Hero CDMA Android Development] D3FAULT:
I've heard people say that task killers help, and others say it makes the battery worse.. so confusing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
So far, display is 65% of total use, cell standby is 10%, phone idle is 8% ADW.Launcher is 7%, everything else is progressively less than that.

A side note, every time (except once) that I check battery stats, when I back out using the Back button, ADW.Launcher FC's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
that drop is because of the way the battery percentage is reported. you can google the details, but basically it's really about 90% charged when it says it's at 100%. this is done to prolong the life of the battery, since keeping the battery higher than about 90% wears it out a lot faster.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
Good WORK!!!!

Going to give 150 a shot....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
Default Screen is set up to 100%....turn it down a bit.

Also - Try Zeam - Smaller launcher having no issues and decent battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
150 didn't work for me, at least with 1.7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
I'm on v0.2.0 it worked I did have it at 140 when I changed it to 159 if that has anything to do with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Per my previous post, I set my screen brightness to the desired settings shortly after initial boot.

I prolly should look into Zeam, though I'm clueless as to what that really is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
159 and 140 both work fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
Zeam is a launcher - Like ADW or Launcher Pro -

Smaller and Sleek - Like AOSP MOD.

155 Works as well....Looks good too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srthimsen:
i've had issues with swype losing its ability to 'swype'. Normal typing works fine. The only way i've found to fix is to select the android keyboard, then open swype installer and select swype again. Anyone else had these issues?

Running 0.2, had same issues with 0.1.2 & 0.1.7. No such problem in froyo roms.

I haven't nailed down what causes it, reboot normally does, but it has happened at other times as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dwielunski:
Google Listen

I've been having problems with the Listen app since upgrading to v0.2: audio crackles and phone becomes unresponsive, have to pull out the battery and reboot. Ran with no problems on all 0.1.x releases. Can anyone verify this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Maybe Swype isn't really compatible with 2.3 yet?

Ive been having SMS problems after flashing the first GB rom, I'm on 0.1.7 now and can't receive texts. I've re-formated system, data, cache, and dalvik and reflashed with no go. anyone help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
I'be had that issue. I've noticed that it happens when I've made some kind of change. The fix has been as you've said, occasionally requiring that I reinstall. Happened with .0.1.7 and now with FBI.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srthimsen:
Yeah, not the end of the world, it would be a lot to expect a beta to work flawlessly with an alpha ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Same happened to me with the cubed Music player.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Etrick:
For disappearing downloads... I think its running out of temp space. Clear caches... it worked for me. Browser and market.

For battery... use autokiller and deca's battery mod. Second post way down on his kernal thread. Autokiller is market. Just installing the battery mod works but recommend tweaking especially temp settings. These two almost doubled my battery life. Then charge way up and in clockwork advanced reset battery stats. Helps with initial drop a Alot.

Note: I installed decas kernal and battery mod on top of 1.7 and I'm not sure which but I think that's wut killed TV tube thing cause I've tried all settings to no avail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
No Swype problems here. Used flawlessly on 0.1.7 and the new .2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srthimsen:
Interesting, I'm assuming that's with default settings/kernel? Anything you can think of that might have helped?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dokted:
hey, thanks, will try it. Funny there's not another build file under system?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NinjaMan691:
I remember with CM6 nightlies it was safe to just flash over. Is it the same with this? Also I'm getting crazy good battery life with the temperature mod from Deca but people are saying battery is terrible in .2?

su permission

On 1.5 and 1.2, even with updating SU, none of my apps that require SU permissions would work, like root explorer, and wifi tether. I would try to delete things using root explorer, and then it would say" rm: no such tool". Su would grant permissions, but none of my apps that require permissions functioned.

Not only that, but the SU binaries could not be updated. when it placed a flashable zip to update them, I tried to but clockworck said that it was a bad zip file.

Those are the issues I had with SU.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dokted:
crikey. when I type adb remount, in the proper directory, now it says "adb is not recognized!!!" What if I just move the file onto the phone via USB? Should that work? Is the fact that there doesn't appear to be a build.prop on the phone now at all problematic? Yeesh, I am such a "noob." Thanks again.

Later that same day: Well that seems to have done it. I put the file so graciously sent to me by poashll onto the phone via usb. Then I changed it to 159, rebooted, and off to the races. The one minor problem was that when I first tried to do it, the phone had named the file, so it didn't work, as it was named build.prop.prop. I dropped the last suffix, and it seems to be working now. Nice.

Still getting a lot of phantom texts though. Any thoughts?

Massive Recovery Issues

I posted earlier about my clockwork woes and they continue. I flashed back to Amon Ra, and was able to nand back to a working phone. Problem is is that booting into recovery seems to be hit or miss. The phone will hang for 10-20 mins at a time on the HTC logo before going to either recovery and or booting the phone. I've flashed back to the latest clockwork and wiped everything. EVERYTHING! Still having crazy long boots. Also, when I do finally boot, my touch screen no longer works. WTF
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
Su is fixed in v0.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
Try a different. Browser. Was also having issues last night until I went with opera mini.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srkmagnus:
I flashed the recent build over the last earlier this morning and everything seems fine so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dokted:
well, so much for off to the races. Now the TV animation is gone as fast as it came! Funny things these ROMs. At any rate, having fun, that's for sure. Thanks team. Gonna try 140 dpi on the build.prop.

btw, I am an old fogey, who learns the old way. Anyone recommend any books on Android/Linux programming that are not too dense (or for which I am not too dense)?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
The Swype website states that if you've changed the operating system on your phone (which we've done), you may need to re-install Swype.

Before you re-install, you need to uninstall the version currently on your phone.

I was having the same problem you describe, and re-installed and that fixed it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wcooper0077:
Okay so i was at like 50 percent battery this afternoon at 6 when i left work than i got to target and by the time i got in my car at 7:40 i was at 5 % battery than i looked at usage and it stated that the screen was the most used battery so thats normal. while i was texting someone i watched the battery go from 5 to 1 in like 30 seconds so i am trying to figure out why the battery is draining so quickly i wiped everything on the newest version i didnt have this issue with the 1.7 so i am wondering if anyone else is experiancing battery issues ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dokted:
tried the 140, no go. Funny, I had the TV animation for a minute or two. Now I am more bothered by all these text messages that keep (not) coming.

I love this, but might go back to the beautiful Redglass Dec. 31 for a while. Keep up the good work. T
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crazyd1721:
Is there a how to for that tv animations m
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quique18:
Can we just update to the latest releases or do we have to wipe everything to install v0. 2?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
I'm getting much the same results. I'll see the battery lose several percent in just a few minutes, but the battery stats show that the screen is the major user, which is normal like you said, but it's impossible for the screen to go through that much juice that fast, which makes me believe that the battery level reading is simply incorrect on this rom. If our phones were really going through battery that fast, there would be lots of very warm phones, but my phone is perfectly cool, with no thermal indication of heavy battery use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Awesome ROM, thank you!

I was having ADW fc issues but I think I fixed it by lowering the setting on my task killer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Under battery status, display will always be first if screen on time exceeds around 20 or so minute, just like 2.2.

Audio issues in v0.2

Is anyone successfully using audio apps on version 0.2? We have errors in the cubed Music Player and Google Listen. For me it is significant enough that I reverted to 0.1.7.

I used the cube with Bluetooth only time it broke up is when the phone would go to sleep. If I keep it awake its fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wcooper0077:

Calibrate the battery, Impaler posted a how to in the q and a section.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wcooper0077:
the thing is its never done this before i updated to 2.0 so would the battery go that crazy from one version to the next
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
To many people have had similar issues with battery don't think calibrating the bat will fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
It's not the ROM. It's the kernel. Your kernel won't charge your phone to 100% because it is bad for its health (or something like that). Instead, it charges it to a certain point, then lies and says it is at 100%. That's why 100-90 often goes quickly. I've noticed that I'll seem to get great battery life at about 85 on any ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaronpoweruser:
U need to go to cm settings and lock home in memory to not miss msgs
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
same here. extremely bad battery even after calibrating. i'm back on aosp 0.9.9.2 for now as i need a bit of a break from the bleeding edge ;)

i also went back to stock sense for kicks. wow...painful compared to what aosp has thrown together for us. makes me extremely thankful and glad i have something to hold me over until the feb. 7 announcement (hoping for some dual core goodness!)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Beginning with aospGB roms, the Swype keyboard randomly loses control. I have been able to fix this by long pressing a text field, choosing the android keyboard, then long pressing the text field again and choosing swype. No reinstall was needed. I haven't had the problem reoccur yet with 0.2, but it did happen in 1.2, 1.5, and 1.7.

GPS doesn't seem to be working for me. At least not on Google navigation. It just always says checking GPS availability.

Jit is on in the build prop would that drain the battery? My phone hates jit. Every time I use it on any rom my phone spits sputters hangs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I've had issues with GPS even on 0.1.7. For me it is spotty, initially locking in then freezing for a few seconds, locking, freezing, etc. I tried the maps fix and the gps status fix, and both helped for a while, but not long term. After you posted, I turned it on and have an immediate fix with no spottiness for now. But I am not confident it will last. Go figure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blankbob:
I have found that in order to get Navigation to initialize, you must the FIRST time open Maps and let it become stable, the go to Navigation and it works. From then on, Navigation has worked fine as a stand-alone.

Hope this works for you!

Thanx Devs for making GB possible!

Same here, I get the same error in Adfree when I try to update the file hosts. GPS lags in Google Maps. Google Maps kills my battery in the process as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Adfree, same error.

I just restored with titanium to get me by until it works again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Yeah same here since there is a new kernel in 0.2.

I bumped my low frequency to 246000 and it doesn't crackle anymore.

On the good side the battery was very good. I'm not sure if it will be sice I had to bump that low end.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
if jit is on in cm settings, that might do it since constantly killing and restarting services can use a lot of cpu time. also, check battery history in spare parts for anything with high cpu or wakelock usage.

the problem is this line in /system/etc/init.d/30cpumem:

#echo "176000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

in .1.7, it didn't have that "#" at the beginning. that comments out the line, so it's using 19.2MHz as the min frequency instead of 176MHz like it was using in .1.7. just remove the "#" and reboot and that problem should go away.
