For any of you with the GPS reboots getting the dmesg would be extremely helpful. Like pstevep says we're just spitballing it. I can't reproduce it so its impossible for me. Only those of you out there with this problem can help fix it. Learn how to grab dmesg and logcats. To put in layman's terms.... it tells us what's going on inside.

Duce, you still running ADW (or anyone else running it for that matter)? I ask because this is the first build since January where ADW has been anything but blazing fast. It's actually been incredibly laggy for me. Everything starts out smooth but as you fill the home screens, scrolling and hitting the home button to preview the screens almost brings things to a halt. I'll keep messing with it in the meantime but I wanted to put it out there to see if I wasn't alone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
For those that don't know, get yer dmesg like this, after your gps reboot:

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

That will leave the file on your computer.

And if adb is not available, you can do it in terminal emulator:

su

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

And it will be on the root of your sdcard.

Learned that from a post by duce.

(that's called giving credit, btw :P

:P :P :D :D :D )

Might be adding too much to the screens. And have too many of them. 7 filled screens will eat up memory like no tomorrow.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yes, but it's the paid version, adw EX. Works like a dream. If you want to know my settings PM me. Right now (for a couple days) I've been testing out GB 2.3.3 with sense 2.1 (the actual real thing not CM gingersense) for fun. I assume you are talking about the 4/29 build right? I had that running awesome, so well in fact I got bored :eek: and decided to go to a buggy aplha gingersense ROM lol.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
If you have asset purge enabled, then disable it. ADW is very laggy on my phone when flipping between desktop screens if asset purge is enabled, and I haven't seen any problems that might be caused by disabling it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] anthony_s:
Good call. That did the trick. I've always had purge assets on and never had a problem before but disabling it on this build fixed it. Thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
It was my observation that asset purge has no adverse effect on the stock launcher (at least not on 4/21, IIRC), but does affect ADW. I like ADW so I disabled asset purge.

You're welcome. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Thanks for that little tid bit of info........works a lot quicker now.

Finally got a GPS reboot today, running My Tracks and PowerAMP at 176/352 ondemand.

So after the reboot I bumped up the min cpu (245/352) and started recording a new track (and started Poweramp again, of course) with no subsequent problems.

When I got home I generated a new dmesg.txt according to the instructions in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13102263&postcount=1039

Is the dmesg.txt I generated (see attached, I had to zip it because the max size for .txt files in xda is only 87.9KB) of any potential use to anyone? If not, what do I need to do next time (if there is a next time) to capture a useful report?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
Had a weird reboot today. Out of nowhere just two FCs then a reboot. Bootlooped upon rebooting. It had a full battery and required a nandroid to get back. Wonder wth caused that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
That's weird, if you are able to duplicate it, try to grab last kmesg and dmesg.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I don't know if I'm reading that right, but did you start the camera and then it rebooted?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
I couldn't find anything in it. As duce said you should grab those right away but thank you for posting it

®parallel universe®
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
What was the fc? If you remember?

®parallel universe®
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AjaxBU:
gapps and google framework iirc

@il duce, will do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
No sir, I didn't touch the camera. I was recording a run with My tracks and listening to tunes on PowerAMP with the screen off when the reboot occurred.

Next time it happens I'll leave the phone alone until I can get to a computer, but I don't know how to actually prevent the phone from rebooting after GPS jumps out the window. :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
4/29 build running smooth, had no problems at all so far for the past 2 days. Setcpu set at 710/356..

GPS works, had one blackscreen, no reboots.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrdvtec1990:
Well, I use to work for sprint, did technical support so key words to get where you need. yes, I can do it myself, I was swapping RUU back with the HTC touch and swapping them back and forth with Alltel and Sprint. Minor stuff like that is easy I just choose another route to ensure my phone is completely clean. To each their own I guess.

Now writing code and doing what AOSP is doing is some knowledge I wish I had and could learn. Should start by educating myself on it by reading more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] btaylor545:
Oostah how did sprint cut your service off for too much romming? Jw cuz that kinda seems impossible
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Now that's off topic. It is well known that Sprint may choose to terminate you if you roam more than you are on Sprint. Take a look around Google, it's probably in the TOS too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
We had sprint home phone like 10yrs ago. Sprint contacted me and asked if I would like to use the cell phones. So we did. They at that time made me pay $5 a month per phone for unlimeted romming yrs later it was included in there package deal. A littel over two yrs ago sprint changed there romming policy if you use more min or data in a month they have the right to shut you off with no early termination fees so that's a way out of your contract if need. but I was grandfathered in so they couldn't do any thing. I upgraded my phone to the moto v950. They said they had to change my plain for it to work lie there service was down at that time. Of set up so they was trying any thing. After 3 monthes I got a shut off notice for two phones. Then I had unlimited data cards 2 that they said the same thing and shut off. I have a out side antina hooked straight to the card. It was a. Way to get us from romming and we did pay every month and was prime customers right before this they gave us 3 months of free services for Being with them for so long ten yrs. Go to sprint website and read there romming agreement you can get out of your contract at no cost. Just rom alot lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
Sorry for long post but could come in handy if you want out of contract.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
what does it mean when it says i will loose my root? cud i still do nandroid backup?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
Yes...OK with Nandroid.

Or when it asks to update....just say no! Like DARE!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Twolazyg:
It will mess up your root if you do it in GB, but as with everything, Wipe before you flash :D

The simplest way to avoid this is just don't update the binary in SU. I'm sure a fix will be out soon. And by soon I mean sometime in the future within a year from now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I had flashed recovery 3.0.0.2 to test and then flashed back to 2.5.0.1, but now when I try to do a nandroid backup the backup is stuck at "Backing up system . . ." I've let it sit there now for over 10 minutes, so I know it's stuck and not just tardy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Dude, use a pastebin next time. That was unnecessary to scroll through on the mobile app.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Twolazyg:
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when you're not helping to get this rom working :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Yes, you can always restore it if you mess up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] szainmehdi:
Ok not to be hasty or anything, but this is kinda a long wait for an update. Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just saying I wish there would be nightly builds or something similar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Beats waiting for sprint's update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
A whole week is way too long, actually this was last updated last year.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
I would rather wait a month for some thing more stable. Then flash something every week that has bugs and headaches.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Huh..... plug into usb on my PC, and it keeps restarting the connection telling me over and over that debugging is enabled and usb is connected.... and when I try to mount the usb, it connects and then disconnects.

And..... kmesg > /sdcard/kmesg.txt gets me a "not found".

Edit: nevermind..... took a peek at the dmesg.txt, saw that it was "unable to prime the ept4in" due to AUDPTASK trying to find winamp on my PC (which isn't running). Seems like a winamp bug causing an infinite loop looking for itself. Like a retarded mouse running in circles.:eek:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
Had some terrible battery life today... unplugged phone at about 9 this morning, by 10 it was at 85% and dead by 2 with no more use then few texts and a little work. Charged it back up and it was dead during my way home from work. Really weird.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
Its about 99.5% perfect, I'm wondering if AOSP its working with Team 6 to execute a well done job...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Kmesg is not the same command as dmesg. I can't remember it, and I'm mobile so I can't pull my user cp. I think it's something like "cat/proc last_kmesg > sdcard/kmesg.txt. You can find it in the ap5, I posted in there a bit ago, or check decs kernel thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I had the same issue when first using s0be's .35 kernel, but don't use winamp. I can't seem to shake it. With every iteration I get the constant connect/disconnect with usb connection. Keeps me from using the kernel, which sucks. What else did you see in the kmesg that might not relate to winamp?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Thanks, will look into it. I've found dmesg to be pretty useful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
That's it. just the audio related stuff. I rebooted, and the plugged into usb to make sure I got a fresh dmesg. if you look at your txt file after doing the dmesg, you will see a section where usb connects and disconnects over and over... and inside that area it *should* have the reason it is looping like that. If you don't know what the module/process is that is causing it, you can ask in this thread, or s0be's thread... it's possible someone reading might know what it is(but not me, cuz I dont code :D )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
I need the best possible stable froyo rom as my backup to use when I absolutley have to have gps working with no potential problems. I plan to keep using this rom as my everyday rom (eventually I'm confident all minor problems will disappear), still love it, just need something safe when I travel. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
AOSP's froyo ROM!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:

If GB hadn't come along for the HeroC I would definitely still be running it! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Just got reboot... was WIFI tethering and bam, reboot... I am guessing the battery temp might have caused it, but not sure.

Is there anyway I can find out?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
If your using s0be ap4/5 it it's known to do that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Not running s0be's kernel, just the stock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
My device also gets the GPS glitch at the worst possible time, when I need it most, actually using it to get to some place, not just screwing around with a new ROM. lol

Other than being a fresh ROM addict, just what did we get in GB/CM7.x that makes the benefits worth keeping rather than going back to Froyo. All I remember I was quite happy on Froyo and now the GPS thing is really being a drag.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
To have the bleeding edge of android on a device that we were told would never even run Froyo! :cool: I believe that was a quote from duce's book! :D

Oh, and there's also this too. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
It could be a failing battery. Do you have a spare to see if you get the same results? Take a look at the battery itself. When mine started behaving badly I noticed my battery developed a bulge in the middle and was no longer perfectly flat like before.

I picked up a package deal on eBay for $25, 2 1800 mAh batteries and a wall charger. Now I charge the battery in the charger and swap when needed. I've been getting 48+ hours of medium use.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
market fix didn't help. think i mentioned previously that I tried market doctor. only thing which was able to correct it was an earlier version of vending.apk I had, when the 'new' market 1st came out. so installed, and BAM, can see all my apps again now, but this version of market looks kinda wonky on GB, UI wise. What could be causing this anomaly w/ market apps that has persisted for so long now for me?!:confused::confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Well I use themed market 2.3.6 from member "pendo", works great and looks great. I currently have firerat mtd 110 75 and I don't need to do the market fix or market doctor at all. I had to do those fixes a couple times on the older market, but since 2.3.6 it's been fine. You could try going into settings/apps/manage apps/all/market, and clear data and cache, then do the same for the app download manager, boot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and then reboot, and cross your fingers. Good luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Wait you're not talking about the native one in settings are you? You have to use an app from the market. Maybe that helps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Duce - come on... I know that... :D.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
my bad :( ....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
As a heads up, everyone's favorite ninja JM posted that 2.3.4 should fix the black screen issue, so when aosp does a new build, shouldn't really happen again. Haven't run into it too often at all with 4/29, just a few times, but am running the latest nightly and all is well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
It's very sparatic for me as well. I know he said that his debug.sf.hw=0 local.prop fix doesn't do anything but I have it in place, and maybe it's just coincidence/placebo but I don't get them as much as I used to.

Good to know, thanks stayclean! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] silberj:
2.3.4?

To what are you referring?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
CM 7+ is 2.3.4 now, I expect it to land here soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
What he's saying, and stayclean correct me if I'm wrong, is that when android 2.3.4 is incorporated into the ROM it should take care of the "black screen" issue that has been randomly experienced by users. This ROM is still based on 2.3.3. aosp said here that he tried to build 4/29 off of 2.3.4 but it didn't play nice. :(

I hope so too! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
sorry for double post, please delete!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Definitely a placebo, when the black screen issue was real problematic it really did not help at all, but the last few builds have been really good about it, especially 4/29.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
I just [re] upgraded from aosp froyo hoping that problem had gone away. i did a run today and no gps issues. i'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't creep up on my next google navi trip, otherwise I will have to remove this rom once more. there is NOTHING in this rom that makes it even close to worthwhile over froyo if gps has glitches, imo. I'm with you on that one!

i'm not. nobody is working on that gps problem afaict, and when it crept up in early march when i first tried this rom, the problem was inconsistent among peeps here. i think (then and now) it has been attributed to something else other than this rom. like i said though, crossing my fingers as I'd like to keep running this rom for the increase in internal memory and minor aesthetic enhancements. speedwise, both roms seem more or less the same.

i don't think firerat plays into this problem at all as I've never run it. its probably a glitch somehwere on my end that could be remedied by giving up on my 51 or so backed up apps and installing fresh, but that's a lot of work, haha! i haven't tried clearning app download manager, will give that a try perhaps, I don't think recovery clear will make any difference though.

i'm willing to give your themed market a whirl, have a link?! weird though, my market shows 2.3.6, but assuming that is from last gapps on page 1 and i have since installed over that w/ an older market (don't know which version) that came out when the current market look 1st hit.

Edit: f--k it, that weird UI problem i was having is gone after clearing cache (2nd time) in market. I'm holding onto that mystery meat vending.apk on dropbox. it's the only one my phone likes!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
quick question that doesn't fit into the context of my last post. i need me some colins ph batt tweak v2. if i sent speeds in it, does it... override whatever is set in cyanogenmod settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
market link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888330

EDIT: and for your batt tweak, if you are going to run that just set the cm settings to the same min max and same gov, do not apply set on boot, that should work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
thank you sir. i will do so and set all my min/max (batt, a/c, usb) the same as that suits me anyway. hey, one more thing (to you or anyone); what's up with the double tap to unlock pad lock on the dialer? logic would tell me that it would prevent key presses when activated; however, mind simply serves as a cluttered aesthetic decor as I can still press keys just fine. the only thing difficult to hit is the padlock as it is overlapped by the end call button. between this and the album art on lock screen which is overlapped by the new and degraded rotary unlock/mute buttons, I am left wondering who is in charge of window decor w/ this rom. can we get a new UI cleaning lady? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Thank you to everyone that suggested AOSP Froyo, I actually didn't start with AOSP until GB. Sorry for asking, please be kind, I actually did look, where is a current link where I can download Froyo, and do I have to RUU to go back to it, or just do a full wipe and new flash?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782320, full wipe and flash should do it.

Simply create a Nandroid backup, then do a full wipe and flash Froyo

Don't know exactly, but is sounds like this may be the first time he's had to roll back (GB to Froyo) and wasn't sure of the exact process. ;)

No problem!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I already posted this in the general section and this isn't specific to this ROM at all but I think this thread might get more views than the other HeroC subforums combined LOL, so I figure most would benefit from posting here as well:

Google Maps 5.4.0 doesn't need the opengles verison build.prop edit to get vector maps and offline caching (and 3D tilt, for those who care about the gimmicky feature) anymore!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
RUU was a common process on say... the moment until recently in order to switch roms, .PiTA for sure... but grass is greener in Hero-land (and Moment for that matter, my last flash to it was painless)!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:

On CM7 roms, the build.prop changes this to 65537.
