Titanium Backup method works fine for me.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
What are you referring to?

I'm using a2sd and I show 130 meg free, with 62 market apps installed.

That's as good as I was ever getting on any previous rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrosno:
Method 2 is working fine for me.

Follow the directions to the letter or it wont work. Also, if you have another installation of VVM prior to begining this process, uninstall it. Make sure to download the zip file directly from the wiki. Other versions of the software may not work.

Hello,

That is because it was Flash Lite, that is all the Hero has ever had.

Cheers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmccoy813:
Strange thing hearing complaints about the "little space" after the flash I had 124mb of available space afterwards.

memory loss

I also took big hit on system memory I went from 40mb to 15mb after installing 2/18. Any solutions would be great. Also have ap2sd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Same problem here. Rolled back to 2-16 after trying both 2-18 builds.

Thanks. I should have mentioned that I'd already tried that. I uninstalled, reinstalled, and now it's fine.

Yes, you can use terminal emulator. Just su first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
There are two things I do to give me more space:

1) I use a2sd cashepart, which frees up 60 or so meg right away.

2) I use compcache in CM Performance settings, which frees up another 20 or so meg.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
No people are not confused. In the first 0218 build, the dalvik-cache that usually goes to /cache was being built in /data. If you wipe cache partition and dalvik-cache before flashing the 2nd 0218 build, you should get your space back.

Or you can move the /data/dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache.

See my post earlier post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
Compcache doesn't have anything to do with internal memory.

Internal memory is the amount of space left on /data.

Restore HTC Hero CDMA Threads in XDA App

Just an FYI for those who lost the favorites for all of the Hero CDMA threads in the XDA app when you formatted following the move of our device to the Legacy page...

Assuming you have a nandroid laying around, the fix is very simple :)

1. Nandroid back to a previous build

2. Backup the XDA app with Titanium Backup

3. Nandroid back to your current build

4. Use Titanium Backup and restore XDA (App+Data)

5. Enjoy :D

ro.compcache.default=0

Looks like its turned off.

I wonder why.

I tried changing the value to 1 and rebooted, but still no compcache.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I wiped & formatted everything before I flashed the second 2-18 build, it was still jacked.

To get the sprint voicemail working I downloaded the file from method two on the wiki. I placed the three files in titanium backup folder manually then I installed the apk. After that I restored the vvm from titanium backup. I had such a hard time getting this to work but finally managed to today with some help from someone in the irc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
So I have a couple of questions, is the second 2/18 better worse or indifferent to the first? Can it be flashed over or do we need to wipe again? Is there any other way to get the cdma forums back then the nandroid way?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Wrong value, change to 10 or 18 or ****, can't remember, 26? You can find the values in cm settings but the edit needs to be done manually in the prop

You can flash over the first build, though wiping is always better.

No other way I have found to get the CDMA Hero forums back without a nandroid if you want to use the app. ;)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
Ok. Tried 18 and its still not working. Still missing /sys/block/zram0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
Compcache takes part of your ram, compresses it and uses it as swap space.

I don't know about videos. Haven't tried it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:
well he seemed to have posted a new download if anyone else noticed, it fixed the space issue.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] immortalsoule:
Have to admit, this rom was killer until i tried making the GPS work on a constant. Tried it with Google Nav, the latest co-pilot, and a few other apps. It just won't hold a signal. Went back to a 2.2 ROM and it came back and locked in prefect. The GPS needs some tweaking.

I have been wanting to switch over to this rom for awhile now but I read that some you were having problem with the GPS. I also read that this new built fixes the GPS issue.

Could someone please confirm that GPS is working for sure? Also if there is any other problem with this RoM...Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kevets:
I'm not convinced that GPS was fixed in the build, but it can be easily fixed by replacing libgps.so

I had GPS trouble with a clean install so I just replaced the file and everything is now perfect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scipio42:
Boot looping like crazy off of the latest build. This is my first attempt at GB.

I've followed the instructions so far, wiped system, wiped cache, then went into mounts and system and cleared boot, system, date, cache, then advanced and cleared dalvik. Initially I just installed the rom and gapps, system booted to the welcome to htc hero screen and rebooted. Let it loop several times in case that cleared anything, nope.

After that, I took the advice of another post and tried the deca kernel at 698. Wiped everything as before and flashed the kernel last, then the system wouldn't boot into the OS at all, kept looping the boot animation.

Other rel data:

Not running Firerat, am running latest CWmod.

Running latest radio release .29

Any thoughts? I did backup before this, so I can always go back, but I hate giving up.

****Edit ****

My problem was twofold. First, I needed the 698 kernel and second, I was trying to load the wrong gapps version.

Just in case this helps anyone else, I wiped everything 3 times, flashed the rom and kernel, booted, confirmed basic functions, flashed gapps, then started going to town with 2.3.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oohaylima:
Holy crap. That worked!!!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scipio42:
It's actually kind of a variable. Most of the time it just goes back to the boot animation (skateboarding android) and then occasionally it will go all the way back to the HTC splash screen.

Just to carry on with this point, if the initial boot takes awhile, it will just cycle through the CM7 animation, right, or will it show the Welcome screen and then reboot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
My experience is a long animation.pull the battery, try again.

I can't get the visual voicemail to work. I tried the 2nd method from the wiki and I keep getting unable to play msg. It seems to be downloading the voicemail, but when I click on it, all I get is "unable to play message." Anybody know how to get this working 100%?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stanltod:
Here is where I stand, I realize this may not apply to everyone. I am running the second 2/18 build and I could run this ROM for the rest of the life of my Hero. I've progressed over the past year with Damageless, Fresh, CM6 nightlies, and now every release of AOSP GB. It is the fastest and smoothest my phone has ever run, gps is now working flawlessly (did a 1 hour successful test), updated market runs great, wifi and tether are perfect, and I have plenty of space with my phone reporting 235 used, 100 free. Here is my config, sorry if I leave something out...

- I do a nandroid before every flash just in case

- Had to upgrade to CWM Recovery 3.0.0.5 to get the initial release of AOSP GB to flash, have since downgraded back to 2.5.0.7 and everything continues to work fine.

- Sometime between AOSP GB 2/10 and 2/16 I flashed back to Fresh Hero Sense and updated PRL and profile based on recommendations found in this thread. Also updated baseband at that time.

- Wiped before flashing 2/16 when it was released, flashed 2/18b over with only Dalvik wipe when it was released.

- Running Firerats 1.5.6 mod with mtd settings of 120 4

- Manage apps memory shows 235 used, 100 free with a ton of apps I've loaded

- Mem Info under ABOUT shows 51 avail, 190 total

- I'm using ADW, Googlevoice for VM, CWM 2.5.0.7, GAPPS 0120

- Baseband 2.42.02.10.29, stock kernel

- Dolphin HD browser, Handcent sms, K9 email all run great

I hope AOSP keeps releasing updates but, honestly, I cannot think of anything else I'd want right now other than working Flash. This ROM is nearly perfect for the capabilities of this phone.

ALSO, for anyone that has nandroided a bunch like I had, make sure you are cleaning out old nandroid copies that you don't need. I'm sure this has been mentioned but I haven't seen it and really never see it discussed at all. They take up a ton of space on your SD card, easily 350-400+mb each! 5 or 6 can take up a couple of gigs of space. You will find them in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder.

My memory card is Class 4 and seems to run fine. I haven't seen the performance comparison but I think class 4 is minimum that I'd use and a Class 6 or 8 would probably be much better for read/write speeds. For anyone that is experiencing lag and is using Class 2 or unmarked uSD card the first thing I would do is go get a faster memory card. 4GB and even 8Gb cards are pretty cheap these days.

Otherwise, all of the great suggestions in this forum are what have led me to the place where I am today. The instructions for doing everything I've listed above are detailed in this thread's 700+ pages. Hope this info helps someone.

Hero is being removed from being a "legacy device" :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
It appears you did everything right, so I'd verify the checksums of the rom and gapps against the values in the OP, and even if those look good I'd do a thorough re-wipe (in fact, I've read where some folks do a triple-wipe of everything), then flash only the rom (no gapps) and reboot. You should come up into a stable session. Then you can reboot to recovery and flash the gapps and restart the phone. You may get a single bootloop, but should not get multiple loops.

I've seen one guy report that unplugging his USB cable from his computer before rebooting solved his bootloop problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
For someone who has so few posts under his belt, that post was very well done, sir!

And I concur, this latest build is probably where I'm gonna hang my hat...this is such an awesome rom that I almost feel like I don't deserve it!

+++++++++++++++ plus one !!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I had this issue too with a previous build and then went back to CM6.2 (Jaybob) and noticed that I was having problems there. I ended up flashing a Sense rom and updating my VVM. I got a message saying that I needed to update. I had updated my PRL and PRI another time, but didn't do the VVM update.

Then, I downloaded Titanium Backup and backed up my updated VVM. I then loaded the GB rom and I had downloaded the VVM from the wiki. I unzipped and flashed the VVM (apk) and clicked "done" NOT "open". I went to Titanium Backup and went to restore and restored only the data for the VVM. Works perfectly now and I have the texts blocked through Handcent (which works for me).

This rom is snappy and I find it to run very well. I have the Dark Horse theme this time (and it adds mb's to the system partition if you are using Firerat's) and it looks and works great with the rom. I am trying out the Zeam launcher for a while.

Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
You may want to enlighten others on how to do so, my GPS works just fine but others may want to do this if it helps, heck AOSP, can edit it in his build if this is the case
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
You can simply edit Jit in the CM settings, has a feature there to turn on or off
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I posted instructions back a page or two.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I remember seeing somewhere that jit needed to be manually enabled in build.prop, even though it has a check box under cm setting. I know compcache didn't take until I edited the build prop.

one question - pardon my ignorance here - but you state you run the stock kernel here... does that mean you can't overclock? i assumed in order to get the 691 mhz or whatever, you had to run a non-stock kernel w/ your ROM..?
