Aosp is putting me in quite the predicament. I kind of want to ditch my hero and get the Epic, however it seems to be slim-pickens for roms over there. They've got a handful of froyo roms based off the samsung leak, but nothing official. They've got a "prebeta" build of Cyanogen.

Meanwhile I've been rocking froyo on my hero forever now, and it looks like that could be gingerbread in the near future.

The devs here are so great I can't help but feel like going to the epic would be two steps forward and one step back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
First, you'll need to change your mtdpartmap.txt to at least 120 4, and preferably 125 4. Then go back to the beginning of firerat and follow the instructions to set up your partitions -- [Edit: Nandroid First] Format, flash recovery, format, flash ROM, flash Gapps, flash boot. This should work.

/Rant/

LOL. I received a notice that as a "Premier Customer" I was eligible for an "upgraded" phone in October, 2010. I could choose from many of the Android 2.1 or the new 2.2 phones available. "Upgrade"???? I know the screens are bigger and sharper, but it seems to me going from 2.3 to 2.1 or 2.2 is a downgrade. And how many of you have received "customer" service from Sprint like you see here. I'd rather put my money in AOSP's, Dec's, and jaybob's pocket.

/End of Rant/

Shall try. Thanks a lot.

Yeah, it's not just the GB keyboard, either. I use a Swype Beta keyboard and the selection bars show whenever text is selected.

I just loaded it this morning. Camera doesn't work as far as I know. Calls, Data, Wi-fi, GPS are working for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexnaoumi:
can we delete the camera.apk and install a 3rd par camera app?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Two options:

1) Try it yourself.

2) Read back a mere few posts/pages.

Option #1 applies to your camera.apk question also.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexnaoumi:
lol, okay :). i just flashed clockwork, so im thinking of nandroiding and experimenting with GB
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinny8030:
thats great advice, where can i find it.

where is CW recovery download?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexnaoumi:
download ROM manager FREE version and click FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY....its that easy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] indiscriminant:
Does it just flash over Amon Ra?

Why would I have problems here but have never had any issues with the dozen's of roms before?

Does CWM read my Amon Ra nandroids or would I lose those?

I guess I am just curious as to why this is all the sudden an issue when it wasn't before even going from Nfinite Sense rom to Aosp's rom and back and forth. Not saying it isn't the issue just not understanding I guess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I don't know if it's across the board but people have been reporting wipe issues with amon ra-darch 1.7, that's why people are switching to clockwork, you could also try amon ra 1.6.2. You can get rom manager from market and in the app you can install clockworkmod recovery right over amon ra, you WILL lose your nandroids, which blows. The only way to fix that would be tedious, but you could nand restore each one, and then inside each one you could flash clockwork and recreate the backup, that's the only way I can think of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Did you try using the built in tethering im not sure if that was ever fixed but I know on the evo 3rd party apps broke when the built in started working its worth a shot

Market gone after flashing todays updates...

I wiped the cache partition and Dalvik cache three times each, flashed 0308 rom, then flashed the new gapps. Everything is working great but after reboot my Market is gone. I tried reflasshing gapps but to no avail, anyone else encounter this issue?

Thanks for all of your hard work, I love this rom and my Hero has never been faster!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
First impressions of latest release.....omg, faster than before. Most lag is gone, even popups. Still had the black screen delay on incoming call, tho. I love this rom.

Now if I could just fix the stupid edit cursor that interferes with swype's word choice popup window....

I want to know this as well. I tried it yesterday but failed. Played with the permissions in root explorer for a little and didn't get anywhere.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fallonjp:
Can I flash the newest version of gapps with Aospmod v 0.9.9.2, or do I need to use the 0107 download from the wiki? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
If you really mean for froyo, I would use whatever gapps is in THAT thread, and update/download as necessary. If you mean for GB and you're coming from froyo, then the ones in THIS thread would be the ones.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fallonjp:
My bad, just realized I posted this in the wrong thread, I did mean Froyo. I'm currently on the 3/3 GB, but looking for something smooth and fully fucntional for my wife. Everyone talks about how flawless it is so I figured I'd give it a run to see if it will work for her. I'll be sure to use the gapps in that thread.

Thanks for the response.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
I think that is a market issue, as I have not even flash and my downloads are also gone, give it some time
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
What the heck does Car Home do? I've run it and all it seemed to do was add an icon in my notification bar while it was running.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wingchun222:
Its not a matter of my downloads being gone, I presume you mean the apps you already had downloaded on your phone? The actual Market app is not installed on my phone that I can find. I rewiped cache and Dalvik and reflashed the new gapps and still no Market app. I am probably going to do a full wipe and fresh install after work to see if it fixes it.

As for your problem, I find that if I uninstall a app that is still listed, then reinstall it and exit out of the market then open the market back up and all of your apps should be back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Osirus71:
I thinkthats because the actuall program is missing. what seems to be running in the notificatin bar is just the launcher.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Newest release is great, aosp. Very smooth and feels very fast.

I just discovered that disabling wallpaper scrolling in ADW/EX and LP makes everything a lot smoother. Just a word of advice for people. :)

Is anyone else having trouble downloading the updates? I've tried downloading on my phone through wifi also I've tried downloading through my computer both ways it doesn't download.

Wireless Error

Just flashed 3/8 as a new install, full wipes and formats as normal, DecaFuct-12222010, Gapps combined (which I've used all along) and Firerat. Everything boots up fine seems to run fine, but when ever I go to settings and try to turn on wifi I get a message flash by "turning on" and then go immediately to "error". Suggestions on what could I have done wrong? Anyone ever had this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Also just noticed, I can dial out, but can not receive calls. Guess I'll try downloading again and reflashing, see if the same thing happens.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I disabled the scroll a long time ago on adw EX, and yes it did make a difference, so, +1.

did you try the mirror posted a few pages back?

I was connected to wifi at home all morning, just connected at work, both worked flawlessly. I did get the error when I tried to turn on wireless tether a few builds back to see if it worked, then I just used the market app, which worked.

Just called myself, worked fine, but the conversation was a little creepy.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
For anyone who'd like to theme ADW/LP to look like stock GB launcher, here's the icons/dock. The App Drawer button is small on our phones, though, so in ADW I use the default picture and for LP I use the default LP icon.

There's a 3-icon dock and a 5-icon dock included.

Just got finished testing GPS on 3/8, Justin kernel, and no Firerats

Just another observation with the 3/8 build...check out your camera ;) My pics aren't washed out anymore. Woot!

I promise...no more flashing new ROMS. I'm done :D

Eh... Still not perfect.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
well, for a whole lot more icons, check this out :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824656

I grabbed about 5 icon packs all ginger themed from there. Also for adw EX users there's a free theme which includes an icon pack called "gingerbread" and a paid theme with even more called "nexus s gingerbread".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
My favorite icons probably are the ones that come with the ADW Elegant theme pack from the market. What can I say, I'm a really minimal/plain/boring kind of person. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
First attempt at 03/08 and I'm getting an authentication error with Google Talk. Also signal/data bars go green then white indicating that I'm not syncing with Google properly.

To truly compare you have to take the same pic with two cameras...nand back a build, take a pic then take the same pic with the 3/8 build...far better now. Perfection will never happen...it's a phone :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirtroad:
Just tried that. Not working. Wi-Fi settings still getting the same error. Under the Wi-Fi networks, it sees my network and says remembered. I click on my network and it says my signal strength is excellent. I can tap connect tho and it keeps on with the "scanning, connecting, disconnected" error.:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
Wow, I didn't get to flash 03/07 yet lol. My GB folder on my PC is growing uber large :-) That being said if anyone's looking for some older files I probably have them. I have a giant collection of files for the HeroC. If anyone needs something they can't find lemme know. Thanks AOSP, you make me jealous I did't pay for the extra courses to cover Linux.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
I got it to work once, back in the 1-6 or so build. Since then tho I get nothing but an icon in Note Bar.

It puts all major call and nav commands on one screen with big easy to see buttons for driving...as far as I could tell....like I said, it's been a while since I could get it to work....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
try a reflash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
Ranger: Have you rooted the Epic yet? My g/f has one and I'm reluctant to do it because it appears like a totally different animal. Personally I'm going EVO unless something cooler comes out but I've been due for an upgrade and I could care less at this point :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
Sometimes I get that issue when flashing kernels....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirtroad:
Thanks. Just tried a reflash. Still no luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirtroad:
I havent flashed any kernals tho...just been wiping caches, downloading and flashing over since way back. The only other think I've done regular are the dark horse theme and the circle battery mod. Not complaining in the least either folks. Just pointing out my singular problem:) Everything else is great! May try a total re-do later...unless someone has another idea. Thanks.

I flashed over, no new gapps, no new themes, no firerats, just rom/capped kernel, font and some apps, booted up fine with wifi, try no theme method. Wifi works, it should work for you :confused:

You don't need to flash them nor is it suggested, just a newer gapps package if you want it. Some have reported market issues since then, so if you don't need the gapps, just flash the rom.

Cool..Got this on the phone today although I was sure earlier that I had bricked mine. I was in recovery and finished formating everything and instead of installing the ROM, hit restart the phone. It was sitting on the HTC logo before I realised what happened. Had to do a battery pull and managed to get into the Fastboot screen. Flashed my old ROM and then put the new one in and got the nerw one up and running.

Am really curious to see if the GPS stays on. Also anyone know how I can get the music controls to show up on the lock screen. Used to enjoy that in the car - to be able to play the music directly.

Thanks

8 hours on one battery has never been so awesome :) Downloaded and flashed 3/8 and the updated gapps around 2 hours into the battery. Then totally redid my homscreen from scratch with Launcher Pro and a bunch of Widgets. Stalked Facebook, sent and received around 50 SMS and 2 MMS. Stalked XDA on my premium app(highly recommended) watched videos, took notes, Downloaded Bing app(ikr, blasphemy) to try out their navigation system. And did a million different things requiring data useage(no, not porn -.-) and couldn't kill my battery no matter what I tried

And on top of that, blazing speed. 806 MHz to be exact. This rom is amazing ...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
I'm on the 3/8 build, and my GPS rebooted at pretty much it's typical spot about 35-40 minutes into my mountain bike ride today.

Only difference this time is that it waited 'til my second lap to reboot. :)

MyTracks successfully recorded my first (somewhat shortened) lap, and I saved the track and exited the app. Then I re-opened the app and started the recorder for my second lap (full lap this time), which eventually rebooted.

There are a couple of things I want to try to fix things. First, my screen-off profile (I use SetCPU) is currently at 245/345 ondemand, and I think I'll set that to 345/345. Have to see what toll that's gonna take on the battery, though.

Second, I want to try Maverick track recorder again. I used to use that app all the time, and it never misbehaved on me, but MyTracks has always seemed to have an ever-so-slight predisposition to reboot. The only reason I ever abandoned Maverick is because MyTracks appeared to record a higher-fidelity track.

If someone could explain to me the differences in the various Performance governors in CM settings (interactive, ondemand, smartass, etc) so I could intelligently set them for reliable screen-off operation with GPS tracking and PowerAMP running (and no longer be dependent on SetCPU for my screen-off settings), I'd be grateful!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
About to update. I had a little problem earlier, I lost all of my sounds/mic when coming back from airplane mode. Had to reboot to get it back. Hopefully the update fixes that.

On a side note, I've never done data2ext, is it worth the hassle to do the CM recovery ver 3.x.x and do ext4? I'm still using 2.5.0.7
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
ditch setcpu, get newer kernel, try cm settings ondemand 264min, if that fails try 352, see what happens?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
data2ext = meh.

there was a media scan issue a few builds ago, and yes it's fixed now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ehusidic:
Does anybody have a link to the supercycle battery icon mod? I found it before in the thread but I cant seem to locate it now. thanks in advance!

nevermind just found it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
The problem I have with going that route is that those settings (or any settings) are valid for screen-on and screen-off. I'm looking to tailor my settings for screen-off mode only.

I see no need for the clock to run at anything over 345 (or so) during screen-off mode, but the route you're recommending would allow the screen-off speed to ramp up to whatever I had the system max set to. That's why I like SetCPU...it has a screen-off profile, which is completely separate from the screen-on settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Well, maybe thats your problem, too low cpu for the apps you're running. Anyway, smartass governor will cap screen off max at 352, try that I guess, but I bet you need a higher allowed max for nav and media at the same time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I am at a loss and can't for the life of me, figure out what is going on. I have flashed many Rom's and many of these nightlies since early Feb. I have run into this issue once before, but now I am having this since 3/3 I think. I am getting a force close that says "com.android.phone" is not working and I obviously have no phone or data and constant fc's.

Yes I use Firerat's, but I have tried without. I format everything (boot,system,data,cache and wipe dalvik too) and try and flash. I have flashed w/o wiping. I have flashed wiping cache and dalvik.

Then I give up and restore 3/2 with DH and everything is fine. I am PRL 60676 and using CW 2.5.0.7 (I had some issues with 3.0.0.5 trying to nandroid). WTF! I have done this so many times and can't find where the user error is. If anyone has any ideas, I would be open. I even raised my partitions numbers, but still no dice. Reflash recovery? Did it and tried a clean install with only the Rom. I have even tried with the new gapps. I have also double checked the Md5 sums to make sure they are correct as well as the mb's.
