Does anyone have the market apk... for some reason it did not get installed..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] usopen:
My two cents for what it's worth

For those of you having trouble flashing gapps here is what worked for me after a few trial and errors. Flash the first Gingerbread rom AOSP posted, no gapps. Flash the second AOSP gingerbread version, and flash gapps 12/18 version afterwards. Flash GB Modv0.1, then flash the new 12/25 Gapps. All my apps carry over with everything working basically. Gmail works, Facebook sync fine, even navigation to some extent. Camera still no, but that is always the last thing to get fixed. Wifi works, tethering works, no force closes on data if you use google search first, but hitting the internet icon for some reason force closes. I actually did not wipe through any of these steps and coming from Cyanogen Mod 6.2.0. Running ADW Launcher on top of everything and it runs smooth as silk. Also have Collins Battery tweak on here with overclock widget and battery life is even a little better compared to FROYO thus far. Hope some of this helps.

So how can I get the market apk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Acontreras86:
thanks for your hard work. i just donated a small xmas gift to you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmisterk:
The market app is in the GAPPS zip you flash AFTER fully booting up the base rom.

I'm running this right now. It's fast. AMazing fast. I don't really use MMS, which is one feature I can't seem to get to work. GPS doesn't seem to be functioning just yet, either, but network based (assisted) locating works great. Camera's not working yet, obviously neither is video.

I'm running his latest release as of the time of this post, released 12/25/2010.

For what its worth, and how rarely I use the features that Aren't working, I find that this rom is good enough for me as a daily rom, and a fun thing to show off to all my android buddies,

echo HAHA I have GingerBread!

My only wish is that it didn't take Clockwork to flash it, since you pretty much HAVE to wipe system, data and cache every time, and I'm unaware of a way to do that with AmonRa recovery, and the only nandroid back up I have of my old system is incompatible with ClockWorkMod's nandroid functions. *shrugs*

not a huge deal, I cycle through roms enough to know exactly what I want, how \I want it and how to get it back to how it was, what with most apps I use from the market (which works great) have backup to sd options (handcent, LPP, xScope, etc)

Oh, and the browser can't load up www.google.com as its home page, or at all for that matter. I usually bypass this by typing straight to the search box, or by setting my homepage as one of the google-based third party home pages (ie www.google.com/firefox) and it works just fine. Amazingly fast, took all of 45 seconds for me to boot it up the first boot and is even faster after that. I love it, and won't likely be going back to anything prior, saying it's already usable as is (in my opinion) and what isn't usable will soon be.

Great rom, Great Work, if I could afford it, My donations would be headed your way, AOSP.

Will be posting detailed experiences again when new releases come out, as they come out.

Use darch's unofficial 1.7.0, let's you wipe everything. I can't use clockwork because it does something goofy to my nandroids and when I restore them...it's bad news bears
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Several folks in this thread, myself included, are running Amon's 1.7 or 1.6.2 recovery, and have had good results flashing either of aosp's GB alpha roms directly over his 0.9.9.2 after merely wiping cache and dalvik.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Actually, Osirus has a legitimate question...I misspelled "cachepart", so a search for that term wouldn't return any useful results, lol.

Osirus, a2sd cachepart is a command understood by the a2sd utility (you'll need that installed on your phone) that moves the cache to the internal partition. It's run using adb from your computer after executing an "adb shell" command, or from Terminal Emulator on the phone after executing an "su" command.

After I flashed this rom now my phone goes to the welcome to htc hero screen then it keeps rebooting to the cyanogen mod 7 screen. any help please. I did a search and did not see anything

ok shut it off took the batery out and still nothing. it is like it is stuck. when the upper screen goes on it goes right back to restart. On another note I dont even have to do anything when the touch here to start screen pops up and it still goes in reboot.

3 questions

I'm still running from two builds ago.

I was told not to flash over previous builds. Just to be clear, can I wipe dalvik cache and just flash this new build over what I have now and still expect a clean, working install ( working gps, camera, market )?

Also, Can I use the deca-batmod ( ph_colin tweak by decadence ) with the stock kernel that comes with this build, is said kernel capped at 691?

do i need to use an edited build.prop or lib? if so is there a new one for this build?

Thank you very much for you help. I'm asking these questions because I am stationed in Florida on my ship and I'm d/ling all these tweaks/mods/rom on my phone from my phones browser, so I'd like to get it right the first time :)

I can only play 4 or 5 videos on the internet then it will just get stuck on the loading part I will have to reboot the phone to play videos after that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
You can flash right over. Wipe cache and dalvik. As always, nandroid first just in case. ;)

Yes, you can use the battery tweak.

No, you don't need an edited build.prop
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
We need more info. New install? Coming from a prior build? Did you wipe everything (/system, /boot, /cache, /data), etc. Give us the steps you took when you flashed the ROM, and we can figure out where something went wrong :)

Excellent, cut the download time by about ninety percent!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
yup, only I would suggest using cmparts for cpu settings (on the stock kernel), not the tweak, as one may try to override the other creating issues. If you use a kernel from deca however, the tweak is a good call.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Yep, back to normal. Awesome stuff and very snappy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brers:
Which one is snappier? stock or deca? i usually use deca with the tweak and get pretty ridiculous batt life. I dont think i've ever used the stock rom and tested the batt life.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Ranger can you make your battery gauge mod plz sir... Or that octagonal in blue colors plz.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
You should try modding that apk from a few pages back so that way you wont have to make new ones
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
No...I passed that on to 24601 ;) lol. Actually, I am at work and don't have my Mac that I have everything on. If he doesn't do one, I can do one up later for ya. :)

I know it. I really should. I saw it awhile ago, and thought "heeeyyy" :) But I was on my phone when I saw it and forgot all about it. But really what I do is just put up what I flash to my phone minus everything else...I always customize the ROM before I flash it so it flashes how I want it. Saves me from removing things with Titanium post-flash and having to flash multiple .zips ;)

I will take a look at that .apk though and see about modding it. Thanks for reminding me about it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Tanks Bro !!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxproblemzxx:
alrighty ive been away for while so im kinda almost back at noob status so work with me here :D aha ok so can anyone provide me with links to deca's kernels and batt-tweak please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
stock kernel is newer, deca even said it's better. It's a fork of deca's #589 kernel with newer commits. for the cpu scaling (like batt-tweak) just use the built in cpu settings in cm performance settings. If you can't boot the 768mhz stock kernel, then get either deca's #589 @ 691, or use his #43 @ 768 (boots at 691) and you can scale above 691 and then use the tweak, as the cm perf settings will FC.

EDIT!!!! look at my next post a couple below this one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
yea i do that to, esp like all the live wallpaper stuff which i never use, i was just posting it because i know how much it stinks always updating it with every ROM, but if you're already doing it carry on
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
What were the visual hiccups you came across? Going to apply the Stock GB AccuBatt Mod, but I don't use the Theme Chooser.:o So I will need people to test once completed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
So, anybody else using this rom who can't boot at 768mhz? Mine freezes over 729, so I've been flashing deca's #43 for every build. I always try to boot without the kernel, and lo and behold, this build (02/21) has booted safely twice (no splashloop). I am curious if I got lucky, or if others would try this out (only if you needed a slower kernel to boot in previous builds!!!) and report back. If I am right, and aosp built the 691 boot limiter back in, he wins, peroid.

EVERYBODY BUY AOSP BIG MAC - DONATE !!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Osirus71:
How do you modify it??? Do you just open it up and remove the apks you dont want???? Thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
when selecting items in menus ( i think its the list selector.png that controls that) its an orange square with a blue center

the other one was the titlebar.9 PNG looks like its not stretching, i changed it with the custom one i used in the twopointthree theme when i restarted it showed it there but it also streched oddly that might need to end up being a regular png instead of a .9
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Even without the limiter everyone should give him $$$. If people too lazy to hit "Search" donate to those who answer their already answered multiple times a thread questions, why not the devs? :D

I flash the same for every build. When I get home tonight, I'll clear everything out and attempt to flash 2/21 without flashing Deca's kernel. My phone hasn't been able to boot at 768 either, and I was curious to see if eventually I would be safe with the stock kernel.

I'll post when I get the results.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Essentially, yes. But if you don't do it right you'll bootloop. Search XDA and you'll find all the info ya need ;)

reply to Ranger

1. clean stock sprint rom.

2. then I flashed (with rom manager) the 2.21 aospMod-v0.9.9.2-signed. then added the gapps-mdpi-20101213-signed. used this rom for about a week and loved it. but the temptation to use Gingerbread just took over and I had to give it a try.

3. So I cleared the cache

4. used rom manager and intalled the aospCMod-20110218-200318-signed.zip

While I flashed it I did have my phone docked to my computer after the install went through that is when the loop started.

I never got past the press here to start.

I do have the clockworkmod backup from the Froyo if that helps me?

P.S. Thanks again for the help guys (atleast I have the no questions asked replacement policy from sprint. I might have to drop it in the toilet lol But I like to solve puzzles so that is why I am asking)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
If you're using Clockwork Recovery 2.5.X.X, then you'll either need to update to CR 3.0.0.5 or if your phone can't handle that, stay on 2.5 and flash Deca's capped 691 kernel after you flash the ROM and gapps.

Understand that what works for some may not work for others, this is simply the method by which I get good clean results every time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
you should wipe all the partitions, factory wipe, wipe dalvik, then you really should have no problems whatsoever.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
click on "readme" in the first post, it's a community wiki, and has detailed instructions for installing this rom.

this method works, BUT he needs to wipe first coming from froyo to GB, like aiwetir said below, and he doesn't need deca's kernel. also, the wiki FTW...

yup, except don't wipe sd card ;) (noob instructions) o_O, also, the wiki FTW...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
No. I d/l the Full-3 this morning to give it a test drive. It's a tad slower and GPS does not work. Probably pretty close to what we have, but aosp is a bit faster incorporating some bug fixes.

OK so it sounds like I zigged but didnt zagg lol so there is hope. So now for someone that hasnt messed up a rom before and never needed to use a backup. how do I use the clockworkmod backup from windows.

is there a windows utility or is it something that needs to go on the sd card to get back froyo.

Yes I know I sound like a noob (look at how many posts lol) but I have been messing with my roms since I had a HTC Touch and did not have a problem. I guess it was bound to happen soner or later.

Anyway Thanks guys for the quick responses

step 1 was to put the phone into boot loader by holding down the volume, trackball, then hit the power. this gives me these options
