Question to the people that have gotten VVM to work correctly..

Are you guys doing custom MTD partition sizes, like Firerats? I saw in JayBob's rom thread that someone had to edit the MTD partition size in order to get VVM working on his install of CM6. Which I only discovered that tidbit of knowledge after I went back to that rom in order to have a fully working VVM. But after installing CM6 again for some reason I can not get VVM to even download the Voicemail correctly on that rom anymore either, which it used to work just fine.

To be honest only thing that is really different from now and month and a half ago is now I have a custom recovery (clockwork).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caspertodd:
No Titanium backup. So I should be able to wipe everything, reflash the rom and then just restore data? I guess that makes sense, just never have done it. I may give that a try. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mid3vil:
da305kratos,

you could always flash an older recovery, (or use the rom manager included in phone to download/install an older clockwork recovery). Then flash Liquid Solstice for the PRL update.

I'd start by

1. nandroiding using Clockwork 3.0.0.5

2. flash_image recovery olderrecovery.img

3. wipe

4. install Liquid Solstice

5. update prl

6. flash clockwork 3.0.0.5 (flash_image recovery whatever.img)

7. Wipe

8. restore nandroid

This is given that you aren't using firerat partition, if firerat make sure to do a

6a. flash FR-recovery

6b. wipe

6c. reboot recovery

then 8a. flash FR-boot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] da305kratos:
This one worked just fine, updated PRL and currently am restoring CM7 :) Seeing Sense felt like a walk down memory lane....one I dont care to walk through again, lol...

Edit: Restore complete and everything is great! Thanks again...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] da305kratos:
Took the NFX route suggested by dazz, worked just fine without reverting to a 2.x recovery...Thanks anyways :)

So to do the ##GPSCLRX# fix, I know theres probably a few ways to do this. I checked the wiki and read back to where you all started talking about this and didnt see how to do the ##GPSCLRX# fix, where to get it, or what it even is.

MSL reader, what is this for?

I have clockworkmod 3.0.0.5.

I rooted following these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

and i disabled OTA updates, with

mv /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.bak

Do I need to do anything special to allow OTA updates after/before I flash a sense rom?

Is the ##gpsclrx# fix in a PRI update?

Will I have to re-root after the update?

Sorry for the newbieness and thanks in advance.

GPSCLRX|A2SD|Error clearing Dalvik, E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

Hey guys, tried the GPSCLRX fix and it doesn't seem to work for me either. It does lock on really quick but after a minute or so its starts jumping around the map again and then re-locks on to my position only to loose the lock again. So it's better...just not much better. :(

PSA/FYI...If some of you are still going to give this a try and don't have a working nand of your original Sense Rom. I would suggest using NFX's version without A2SD listed at the bottom of his original post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790889

I have never had any issues or errors in recovery except when I tried to restore my original sense recovery after upgrading ROM Manager (3.0.0.7) and the CWM Recovery img (2.5.0.7), its been screwed ever since and won't restore completely. So I had to flash a sense ROM, the problem is I have never used A2SD only FIRERATS' (and no, FIRERATS' is not the problem) so I never set up an partition on my card for A2SD. I flashed the A2SD version of the aforementioned rom and ever since then I get the following error when clearing the Dalvik, E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0p2 (File exists). From every thing I've read so far, it can't find the partition used for A2SD (because I never set one up) and therefore you get the error. I have not been able to find a fix at this point that doesn't involve having to jump through a lot of hoops and just wanted to warn anyone else using this method.

***It has not caused any issues when flashing other roms, making backups or restoring my current roms, but it is annoying as H.E.double.hockey.sticks***

If by chance someone knows an easy way to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated :D

Thanks.

***UPDATE***

Was able to finally clear the error "E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)" when clearing the Dalvik by updating the recovery img from 2.5.0.7 to 3.0.0.5. Hope this helps anyone else that may run into this issue.

Losing apps...

So, I updated to 2/16 and everything was fine. I rebooted the system a few times, everything was working. I then decided to push some fonts and Nexus bootanimation. Both - successful (late last night). However, this morning I realized that my Gmail app was missing. I re-installed it from the market and now, everything is fine.

This happened to me a couple of days back, when two other apps went missing - Shopper and Youtube. I re-installed them. But, it's just weird.

Phone is running on:

CWM 3.0.0.0

aospCMod - 2/16 (updated over a fresh install of 2/10)

I have almost all of my apps moved to the SD card, using the built in apps2SD

Default theme
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spleef:
i used fresh hero 2.4.0 to update everything. here is the link if anyone is interested:

http://geekfor.me/category/hero/

just nandroid first then follow instructions on the site to install update everything you can on your phone, then use the # codes provided in several popsts and the wiki under "what's working". then nandroid back. is the steps i followed everything updated and restored and working fine. thanks folks

I like this rom. I have a question about the ROM. (this question is sort of silly. If so, sorry) This ROM is Gingerbread, but it doesn't support flash play on a web. Even I couldn't download the player from m.adobe.com. I just want to know what this ROM is different from froyo for users like me? To me, it seems like a theme, not a rom.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the GPS is definitely still borked in the 2/16 code. I flashed last night, and the first time I ran GPS Status, it rebooted and got stuck in a boot loop. After about 5 boots, I pulled the battery and cold-booted it. It took about 30 minutes to start up, but seemed ok after that. Just to be safe, I repeated the entire flash process (starting with step 7 below). It seemed to work fine last night.

This morning, I tested it on the drive in to work. GPS Status would get a fix once in awhile, but then would hang for about 30-60s waiting for another fix. While it was hanging on GPS readings, the other sensors would continue to update. Google Nav also had about the same thing. It would show me stopped for awhile, and then a minute later would jump way down the road to my current position. Other than using the FireRat MTD mod, its a vanilla aospCMod install.

Here's the install process I used:

RUU

##786# to update PRI

Update PRL

##GPSCLRX#

Root w/ ADB Shell, rageagainstthecage

Install ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5

Format boot, sys, data, cache

Flash FR-recovery (found out hard way need larger mtd parts than is doc'd w/ GApps, ended up using "144 4")

Format boot, sys, data, cache

Reboot Recovery

Install aospCMod zip

Install GApps-combined zip

Install FR-Boot

Try getting rid of firerat before you surmise that there's something wrong with the ROM, k? I dont use firerat, or any other mod, and i haz no gps problems. :rolleyes: Im convinced that more than half the clutter in this thread has to do with firerat issues. And another significant % of clutter here is peeps trying to hawk their own ROMs and donation links ...

I'm not really to sure what ur talking about. My window animations are fine, granted there are some instances (ex. When I'm in an app and a box needs to pop up to input text, yes it is slow)but just sitting in the OS, navigating menus and settings I see no lag. You might also draw your attention to the big letters "WIP", standing for women in panties, ha naw I'm jk but seriously its a WIP. And just knowing that aosp has like 9 other phones to play with and still makes builds for the hero is phenominal. And with all the whineing(not particularly u liquid) its a miracle he still wants to. Remember cm6.0 n .1, I remember how God awful slow it was for me, and when I switched to aospMod I never looked back. I'm sure u mean the best by addressing issues you'd like to see worked out, n I'm giving u the benefit of the doubt on that one, this is still a WIP, and still includes CM. Just wait until this bad boy goes vanilla and I promise u it will be the hands down fastest rom available(I hope it still goes vanilla as there is becoming less n less motivation to even work on it IMO.) So how about lets all be happy that aosp still gives a damn bout our heroc n continues to build upon this great ROM. Who remembers waiting for 2.1? And at one point we were getting a build a night...come on!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
This is a known problem that I experienced on older builds, it has since worked itself out(I guess I'm lucky.) The only known fix is to restart, I know not the answer u were looking for but its the only one available. What build you on? If anyone figures out a solution I'm sure they'll post it for ya. It's annoying, I know, but what u gonna do?

##786# does not update pri, I just tried, I even called sprint to see if they could do it and I was told the only way that pri gets updated is like a radio with an OTA update. Which means the only way to update pri would be to RUU then update then reroot and nandroid. Bah. Maybe if I get REALLY bored one day I may do it, but my gps works so eff it.

Have to get a ROM with working GPS

Hello!

Though I love this new ROM, not having GPS is a deal breaker. I've done all the fixes and re-flashing to no avail. I am leaving on a business trip on Sunday and need GPS.

So, any suggestions on what is the best ROM to flash that isn't too old but has working GPS? My mind has been scrambled with all the V7 stuff that I am not sure how far I should go back.

Thanks!

I've updated to the 2/16 and I can't find the market. Flashed the the lastest combined Gapps (yes i did the zip that has market in it) but nothing has changed. I see gmail, chrome, and everything else but not the market.

should I try and clear dalvick cache and try again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dburg84:
yeah do that. or increase your MTD if you're using firerats.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
ummmm ok. i really dont think that comment was needed...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
I had the same problem at first. If you're using FireRat, then the very likely problem is that the 110 system partition is not big enough. From a shell, run 'df -h'. If the system partition is at 100%, then that is the problem. Basically, the partition filled up during the GApps install, and not everything made it in (including Market). Re-flash with a bigger system partition and try again. The tell-tale sign that things were working much better after building with a larger system partition is that on the first boot I got the "new user" wizard thing. Prior to expanding the partition, I never saw that.

For what its worth, I used a 144M system partition, and it is at 86% usage (124.2M). This was with the gapps_combined-mdpi-20110123-signed.zip Google Apps install. I think anything over 130M should be ok for the 2/16 version.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrdvtec1990:
I'm actually using data2ext not firerats. But i started with a partition of 1024 and went a step down. gonna try to go back up and see if that clears it.

Clearing the dalvik cache did nothing. When I did re-install everything I didn't get the wizard either and thought that was strange.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
so good news, apparently instead of all the themeing components being in the framework-res they are now kept in a file called systemUI.apk in the app folder, this means changes to the framework shouldnt be as drastic to themeing

Not true, open up the keyboard settings and you will see that they are the same, and that the two apps have two different m5dsums, and therefore not the same.

Thanks aosp! Merry Christmas to you 2 buddy! This is awesome!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
This is the problem that lots of beginners face. I'm not saying you are new cuz I really don't know you BUT there is something everyone flashing custom roms needs to understand... the newest is not the most stable. If you want stability (personally) I would go with either liquids sense of aosp depending on if you want sense or not. GB is in the beginning of infancy at the moment. Aosp is the MAN and it will most likely be stable very soon. In the meantime if you want stability those 2 are my recommendations. I'm running aosp with Kyles two point two as my daily and am VERY pleased. I didn't mean to get off topic... just throwing my advice out there. THANKS AGAIN AOSP!!! AWESOME WORK!!!

Not meaning that I'm not super grateful to aosp for all his efforts, quite the contrary. I'm just saying that you need to get your facts straight before you start feeding misinformation to others, because there aren't any big letters "WIP" anywhere. Maybe there used to be, but used-to-be doesn't mean much now, does it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wcooper0077:
okay so i have a question that i have tried to dig around on here for and i have yet to find it. I am curious as to what most people are runnin under the preformance options on this rom what

compcache ram usage "what setting is best"

use JIT yes or no

vm heap size " whats the best recommended size"

I know i have read that most people say its personal preference but there has to be a well this works best for me ect.

I am having problems finding the best combination for me and i just notice alot of lag when using the regular keyboard so i did just get swype installed and must say its pretty cool but anyways some answers would be great =)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
2nd this. AospMod 0.992 froyo is the best. This is the only nand I keep on my sdcard. I travel for work to and that usually gets put on before I leave. Remember if it ain't aosp then it doesn't make "sense".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] runngwlf:
I really love how some people think the rest of us must be insane or something. I since last night, have been running 100% stock as installed rom, no data2ext, no firerats, no themes, no nothing. Wiped and formatted 3 times before installing, installed the rom, installed gapps, booted no problems, installed no extra apps, changed nothing in my build prop, and I STILL have GPS issues. This is the ONLY rom I have ever had those issues on, I can nandroid back to a 2.1 or 2.2 rom and my GPS works fine.

So for those of you preaching that its not an issue with the ROM, it's the extras or how we have our phones set up, get off your high horse. Those of us who ARE having issues are trying to contribute useful information to help fix the issues, so if your not having the issue, and aren't contributing to helping those that do, keep the preaching to yourself thanks.

C2K_HOST=default
