+! Thanks for that.

I don't know about you and others, but I"m rather fond of the NOOP scheduler, now that I'm using it. It seems better for flash based devices, if it's development was any indication. Other than that AutoKiller, CacheMate, and TaskTray (when autokiller isn't fast enough), along w/ the VERY useful colins_ph batt tweaks really fill me my tweaking wants. But I def. know what you mean about wanting to tinker!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
very interesting! I'd love to get 36hrs but no way unless extremely light usage. Tell me, why'd you pick OnDemand? I went w/ Interactive; seemed to be the most recommended by many here. I def. can't get down w/ 691mhz tho, just feels... sluggish. My sweet spot is 724ish, and yes, I know this is also a battery killer, but worth it as I'd plug into the charger every night anyway, so why not have more speed when I'm using it. I was thinking about locking hom in memory in the past, but w/ my current memory settings in auto killer, it never gets dropped anymore anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Nash, I missed some of what your problem was. I was getting fc's on a some roms and it turned out that my phone.apk would get corrupted during flash (until 3/23 build and after 3/2 I think). I used something called fixflash that does a directory check and fixes corrupted files. You can find it in themes and apps. I don't have a link on my phone. It was the only way I could flash this rom. You need adb to do the process.

Yea its me again. With the

[Hero CDMA Android Development] silberj:
I had the same thing happen. I think that some tweaks, other things with the ROM, misidentify the type of phone. Mine is identified as a Nexus S now (think that has something to do with s0be's kernel). If the Swype installation detects the difference, it will likely make it necessary to regenerate the license. YMMV.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
It's not s0be's kernel, as I do not run it and get marked as a Nexus S. It probably has something to do with the Nexus S being the only phone officially on GB.

there are a lot of people who use ondemand.. depends on what kernel you are using (s0be's works better with ondemand).. its better for battery.. its not a performance governor by any means, but i dont have any trouble playing games or anything on my phone with it.. its all personal preference.. i never wanted to use ondemand myself, but once i started and got used to it, i love it.. my top number is set to 729 though not 691..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
not s0be's kernel.. been running it for a month now and my phone is not a nexus s.. are you using a kifno tweak or anything, i know some of his stuff changes what your phone thinks it is..

i like my phone to think its a hero.. that way now that its running gingerbread it can feel like its better than all those high end phones..

I installed this yesterday with 1/23 GApps Combined, booted up and synced my google account. Then I flashed s0be's newest kernel. After rebooting and resyncing, I got a "Welcome to Nexus S" email. Can't say it was definitely because of s0be's kernel, but the timeline seems correct.

Quoting Myself to Update:p

I'm also running AP #5 and I believe this has contributed to a more efficient OS.

Additionally, I'm seeing a record low charging time as little power is being used.

Finally, I can eaisly say that Tasker has been one of my favorite apps for overall system management and is arguably the best Android app around. I ahvent seen much discussion on the topic, is anyone else using this? What profiles have you set up?

I use OnDemand right now purely from an experimental standpoint, but I have found it to play well with AP 5 and the settings I currently have in place.

As many people have said (and its WELL worth repeating), different settings will work better or worse for different people based on your use and ultimately the thresholds for your hardware. When experimenting with the settings that work best for you, CHANGE ONLY ONE SETTING AT A TIME, and wait a day.

If you'd like to get an "idea' of what most people are using, check the survey that was take last week from the community to see what settings are most popular. On the other hand, what is popular is not always right. :D

I use tasker on a very novice scale to do the follwing:

Wake up to Amazon Android app to check the free app of the day:D

Turn on/off GPS and WiFi for location based apps

Turn on/off WiFi when I am near my home

Maximize brightness for camera and gallery/quickpic apps

Headset plugged

I tired the airplane mode at night but couldn't get it to work right

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pbp776:
Anyone has seen these two issues I'm having.

1. I get batter low message when is under 15% but the amber light does not flash until it under 10%. :confused:

2. Led light showing green when charging is only around 90%. :eek:

I did tried to search in this thread but nothing come with result. I might be not searching it correctly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
Both are normal for AOSP ROMs

Edit: There is some conversation about the LED charging issue starting on post 10247 if my word is not good enough :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pbp776:
Oh ok. I didn't knew that thanks!. First time coming to AOSP side of the ROM. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
You want better battery life...

1) Reduce screen on time (i.e. don't surf the web, XDA, Facebook, etc as much)

2) Make sure you have a good signal

3) Stop playing games on your phone

4) Use Autokiller

5) Properly calibrate your battery

Once I did these things (actually, when the Hero became my work phone and the Epic became my personal phone), my battery life went from an avg of 16 hours of heavy use to an avg of 30+ with normal/typical use. That is, I use it more as a phone. Once the usage dropped, the battery life doubled ;) I still use all the bells and whistles of a smart phone, but significantly less, and not all day as before...bottom line is this...If you use it heavy, don't expect more than 12-16 hours, if you use it "normal" you can get 24-30, if you are a lighter user, 36+ is not unheard of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] suckoos:
Tasker

Have you been able to get tasker's gps functionality to work with this rom? In the last two updates the option has opened up but profiles activating GPS don't work correctly if at all. Would be interested in your insight.

Also, I've been using tasker to keep my phone silent at work and locate it when its lost, I really like it but its not user friendly so I'm trying to see what other cool things I can do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
I was having some GPS errors on earlier builds but 3/26 is working flawlessly. I do have a "meeting mute" profile that silences the phone during reg meetings (I forgot to list that one). I believe the lookout app (free in market) has a phone locator you may want to try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] suckoos:
It does have one but it works poorly if you don't leave your gps on. My battery doesn't take a huge hit to leave it on but definitely loses some. If I can't find the phone then I can't turn the GPS on, thats why I liked being able to text the phone with Google voice through tasker to turn on GPS and text me back the coordinates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
May as well just toss the "smart" off smartphone and get a basic flip. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
That makes sense. PM me if you want to try my Tasker GPS profile to see if it is any different than what you have tried.

nandroid backup hangs

Could not find too much on this one.

Running 3/26 AOSP, 3.24 CWM.

Boot to recovery

- backup

Hangs after a short time while backing up.

Had this problem awhile back and thought it was the SD card and got a new one (Class 4 8gb). First few nandroids worked fine then started hanging again.

The failed backup corrupts a file on the SD card and it can be fixed and removed restoring the SD card to normal operation but another attempt at backup craps out again.

Recovery from a previous good backup works fine, thank god, so no big deal but sure would like to get more frequent backups taken.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Lol...if ya want more than 16 hours yeah ;)

I still use stuff on the Hero but not heavily (SMS, phone, calendar, and light web stuff). On my Epic...I'll just say I'm pulling a typical 12-16 hours :)

So, using clockwork (not ra) wipe data/cache, format boot,system, wipe dalvik. Flash rom, boot. If that works flash gapps, reboot. Did you do all that? If your s-off you can fastboot erase, then flash.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
Sorry to hear you're still having issues.

You probably already tried this. In your sig you say you currently have the ODEXed version running, is that the backup you mentioned in your earlier post? Not sure how the ODEX and DEODEX versions work. Are you trying to flash over or doing a clean wipe and install? If you are just wiping cache and dalvik, that may not be enough.

Also, which recovery are you using? Is it the new Clockwork in the OP?

If you're able to get those other versions to flash successfully, you obviously know what your doing. Maybe AOSP 3/26 just isn't getting along with your phone? Maybe wait till the next update to try it again. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattrva:
No, I was running AOSP 2.2 before that. Since my aforementioned problems, I have flashed CM7 Final, RC4 and CM7 deODEXED (which I am currently running.) When I was initially trying to flash this I was using CWM 2.0.5.7 and couldn't get it to work.

Did full wipe and redownloaded ROM & GAPPS then:

-Tried flashing ROM, GAPPS & kernel. Nothing.

-Tried flashing ROM & GAPPS. Nothing.

-Tried flashing ROM & kernel. Nothing.

-Tried flashing just the ROM. Nothing.

(Did each of these in CWM 2 & 3)

None of which got past the splash.

When flashing CM7 I performed the regular steps and it flashes fine. I don't know what it is about this build but my phone just doesn't like it. Would prefer it over CM7 deODEX cause the battery life could be better. It's not KILLING me or anything, but it's a little frustrating. No ROM has ever given me such a hard time before.

Guess I'll wait until the next release and see what happens.

And even though it doesn't work properly all the help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, man.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Have you tried RUU back to initial setup, then having a go at it from the start? If you are s-off you won't need to re-root. When you say "full wipe" do you mean the data/factory reset, or are you going into partitions and wiping individually in there? For some it makes a difference, and you need to go into partitions and wipe boot, system, data, and cache, then into advanced and wipe dalvik.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattrva:
No I haven't. What's the best way going about doing that? I am s-off.

When I say full wipe I do the following:

-Factory reset

-Wipe boot, system, data, cache

-Wipe Dalvik

-Flash
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
What s off method did you do? If it was darch use the command "fastboot erase -w" then go into recovery and flash. You could also try the completely illogical "wipe 2 or 3 times" theory. And just to be clear, you are only flashing rom and gapps right? No other flashed tweaks?

EDIT: also, how long is your splash hung for? sometimes mine will hang for like 15 seconds (which seems like forever)

thoughtlesskyle started with AOSP 3/26 and themed it, so it's 3/26. It's also not edify so you would be using version 2 of CWMod. It won't be the original AOSP, but this may be a way to get 3/26 on your phone, if it works.

My splash will hang for minutes. I have left it for 10 and it will just sit there. Mocking me.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Sorry, should have been more clear. What I meant was it's an actual program, so you execute is as such. ADB isn't necessary to "run" RUU. ;)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I just did RUU yesterday to clear the cobwebs after weeks of treating my phone like a 1960's lab experiment eminating from Woodstock. Here is the link I used to get the RUU. I used the green hornet (lantern) version of CWM 3.0.2.4 to flash the RUU. Got everything up to date from Sprint and then took a sharp knitting needle and repeatedly poked my eyes out for having to interact with Sprint Sense and android 2.1 (for anyone who hasn't RUU'd in a while, we are way spoiled with GB). Because I'm s-off I just booted back into bootloader and reinstalled 3/26 fresh instead of doing a nand restore. Here are the steps I took while in CWM:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Mounts and storage > wipe system; > wipe boot

3. Advanced > wipe dalvik

4. Install 3/26 zip

5. Install 3/25 Gapps

6. Boot into system

No other tweaks or kernels. Booted up normally into setup screen, and feeling like Donnie Osmond ever since.

Another case of starting completely over can fix the dingles. Never did understand how the wipe 3x theory did anymore than just a single wipe. But I do believe in the dingles and that's why some have problems here.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattrva:
First off, that was hilarious. Secondly, is this going to revert back to 'out of the box' status to the point I need to re-root or no? Haven't flashed RUU before; only back to Sense ROMS for updates.

So I will install GL CWM and flash the RUU via that and perform the wipe procedure as usual?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Yes, it may take you to a non-root status, but because you are s-off you can get to your bootloader and get back to CWM, and install custom roms without needing to re-root. I'm butchering the technology, but if you read regaw's s-off thread it will help you understand what having s-off means. Also, while back to ruu I did install z4root just to have root access to wireless tether and quickboot. And, you should make a nand backup of the ruu so when you want to go back for updates you have it.

As for the green hornet CWM, it is what I used, but you should be able to use the updated CWM in the OP of this thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Once you are RUU "unrooted" do all the Sprint sytem updates. All you need is to put this HERCIMG.zip on your sd base.

Yeah. I think it was jasonmaloney said the stats are stored in /data. Story time: I did that once, and went to do sense at 80% or so on aospCMod, sense booted at 40% or so, it was weird. I think I charged it on sense for about half an hour to like 45% and couldn't stand sense anymore. It was looking at me funny, so I said "self, WTH just do it, you're s-off". Then tried to restore back to aospCMod and got in a splash loop/no fix for a LONG time (I didn't feel like wiping all/starting over). I ended up giving up and plugging it in for a few hours, turns out the ***** died on me (too many batt pulls, too many reboots). Moral: if your battery in sense isn't high enough, let it charge, I swear you'll make it.
