You can always back up your contacts via dialer. Just open up your contacts and press menu. Then choose import/export. Then choose export to sd. When its done use any file manger to view your sd. You will see a "vcs" card/file. Those are all of your contacts. When you want to restore them say on a new rom. Open up contacts hit the menu. Then choose import/export. Then select import from sd. Then choose import one Vcard from sd. It will give you a list which will show your contacts Vcard on your sd. Select it and it will start to restore your contacts. You can also make a copy of the Vcard and place it on your laptop or pc for a backup.

Hi There

Excuse me, How do I go back to stock from AOSP 2.3.4?

Can anyone help, please?

Hi,

I would like to go back to stock because I can't program my phone with my new number. The reps ask me to dial ##numbers# then go to edit but the phone doesn't show that menu. So I guess it has to do with the Rom, that's why I would like to go back to Sense from Sprint so I can program my phone with my new number. Now I only have 3G and when I try placing a call it tells me my call cannot be completed and to try again later.

Can anyone please help. I'm using latest aosp.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyliner342007:
I think what ill do is ill revert to the stock rom today, perform a contacts back up as you've said instead of using a third party app and then flash back to the current rom I'm using which is jaybobs rom asops, and then restore them via vcard...hopefully that works because as you've guys have said there should be no reason that its not working cause it has all the files unless I'm missing one that prevents it from working....hell once the rom for gingerbread 2.1 is completed I might try that.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyliner342007:

There is a setting that shows the signal strength in integers. You should look at the numbers instead of the bars, I think it's more accurate.

Erm, wow. I share the feeling it's a bit immature to not post the download link in the main post, but was it really necessary to add "growthefuckupaosp" to the tag list? Whoever you are, that doesn't really make anything better, and if anything, proves you're the one who needs to grow up.

Anyways, I moved up to the EVO 3D, and it's a fantastic phone. If you're near the edge of your contract, I'd suggest upgrading :)

See you on the other side.

Not to sound like a dink, but you are the only person I have heard of this happening to. you formatted boot, system, data, cache, and wiped dalvik cache? Some have said that they experience less problems if they wipe each one multiple times. I do it on a regular basis. There has got to be something you are/aren't doing correctly/at all. can you list your steps this last time?

I almost guarantee that is your problem. if that doesn't clear it up, it would be due to either a bad download of some sort or a freak accident. Have a good night and try to stay calm, accidents happen otherwise ;)

I will will try that and hope it clears up. Should I go back to my stock rom or does it matter.....

Backup via ADB

I was wondering if there was any way to backup my HeroC only using ADB. My phone is in a terrible state right now, the screen is smashed and the only thing I can do is turn it on, the screen will show nothing until I squeeze the sides of the phone really hard. I am able to press [volume down+power] but that's about as far as I can go in terms of recovery. Is there any way to do a full backup to flash onto my new replacement HeroC (craigslist)? I believe my only option would be ABD.

My HeroC is running the latest AOSP 2.3.4, Firerats Custom MTD, and Gapps.

Thanks for any help!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
So today I got a call from an unknown number and I then realized I havent recieved a voicemail in over a month (VVM has not notified me of anythng and shows nothing) so I dialed my voicemail manually and had almost 30 messages and now I can not get a few apps to even work, including google voice. Mobile defence tells me it can not determine my service provider, google voice tells me my network carrier is currently not supported for automatic voicemail configuration and the visual voice mail also no longer works. It was working just fine a few months ago then I just thought no one was leaving me voice mails.

Wondering if this is related to the rom or something. I need some kind of working voice mail! lol Ugh....

I dont know if I did anything or not or if installing data2ext had anything to do with it. I dont really know.

Don't think data 2 ext has anything to do with it. Unless your using ext 4. If your not then make a nand and do a fastboot erase and see if that helps. If you just need a vm app like asap try you mail. Its the only vm app I've ever used. It work nice.

I'm having issues with my voicemail. I just got a text from Virgin saying that my account pin was changed which might have something to do with it.

When I call voicemail it simply drops the call immediately. This seems to be a symptom of activate.apk not having been run. I ran that before flashing and everything was working fine. Any ideas?

over heating

I figured I'd ask people with the ROM i currently have, however I have this issue with all roms except stock.

Does anyone have Overheating issues with their phones? My phone gets tremendously hot (where its hard to keep it in hand) after about 15 minutes on just sitting there with the screen off. I know when I charge it it should get warm, but I can't charge it when its already hot to touch. I'm afraid of something going wrong. I still have the OEM battery in there, use the OEM wall charger... and I just don't get it. I do have a metal case on there when i go out, but because of these issues, i've been keeping the case off. plus, when it gets this hot, my battery will lose over 50% within minutes....

any ideas or suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I would go the obvious route first, and take it to a sprint store (or where ever), and try a new battery. Other than that, check out "better battery stats", its in the market, and iirc, the dev has a thread for it here on xda. it will give a pretty detailed view of what's using the battery.

Ok I'm trying to edit the build.prop file so I can enable the vector maps in google maps. It won't let me save the file in the system directory because it's running. How am I able to edit this file properly? Do I need to do this within ADB shell?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jazzruby:
What are you using to edit, i.e. FileManager > Editor?

edit: the build.prop file is read on system start-up, I don't think it is ever 'running'
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Current Google.maps doesn't need the build prop change for vector maps anymore anyways. No need to do it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
You need to use a file editor that allows you to switch from read-only to read-write. Root explorer, total commander, etc, will do these things. Search for total commander beta on xda., it's free.

I just found out that if you click one of the 'tags' specific to thread your in, i.e. in this thread; 'thedownloadisinthereadme' you end up on a page with a single entry that has an envelope icon which shows your post count in the thread and just right of the URI is a paperclip icon which pops up a small window with all attachments in the thread (reversed alpha' listing).

Has everyone known about this or did I just stumble upon a little gem of an easy way to find an archive in a thread this size?

This is always my last ditch effort, but look in the heroc development section and try something called "fixflash". I have noticed that I will get the same corrupted files trying different gingerbread roms. I don't always need to use it, but it might show you something. Only flash the ROM, then run the script. Is very easy but you need to be able to run adb. Good luck!

I just installed Opera Mini but it won't run, shows a progress dialog and then fail with a message; something like 'Check your internet connection' but the stock browser connects just fine.

I did some internet searches as well as over at Opera.com but no solutions.

I have Opera Mobile on my Tablet and if I install it on my Phone it would be the largest program ~12 MB just above Maps ~10 MB

I'm looking at 3 other browsers as well; Boat, Miren and xScope.

Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
I having the same problem and its driving me nuts so I gave up on it and am just using the stock browser. I tried another one but off hand I cant remember the name of it but it loads most sites that have mobile versions of the site in the desktop version. My site included so I ditched it.

I would really like to take Opera for a test drive on my phone as I had the old java version on an old LG Rumor and on 2 old Nextel phones and loved it!

Maxthon Browser ftw :) Best browser i've tried so far
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
I think I"ve effectively deduced the issue and I'd say a combination of kernel, minimum scaling (must be much higher on these 2.3 ROMS), and strangely, minimum sample rate.

I have no GPS problem now on KERN .35 w/ Jaybob' v2.3 ROM but camera is broke. Thinking about coming back to this ROM (as much as I'd prefer an ODEX ROM) to try again, but also grown tired of all the troubleshooting and still pondering a final move back to Froyo. The only things holding me back Carat, and CM settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
FYI - I went back to Froyo and initially found it blazingly faster than the lastest CM7 ROMS. All around it is far snappier and the battery life is better. This is all out of the box settings.

As to feature loss, I can say I miss quite a few of the tweaks that were in the new AOSP, jaybob, CM7 settings. For example, I like the numerical battery percentage tweak, custom auto backlight settings, and few others.

All the other market apps seemed to come down fine. I did not want to TB them back just in case so redownloaded and installed fresh.

The big question is GPS and I have not had time to give it a real world drive test but I will update back here.

It's great hakujin has it sorted but I am really question the amount of work it takes to get CM7 running with GPS vs losing a few CM7 tweaks for a whole lot less headaches and solid GPS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jazzruby:
I been testing out some web browsers (~5) and narrowed it down to 2 that I like.

xScope GL 5.34 - I really like this one, it has some cool features and was the fastest in my testing. I downloaded the one from the Market labeled for Android 1.6.

Heads-up! - The one from the Market xScope GL 5.34 didn't pinch and zoom and the embedded app manager wouldn't stop processes, but if you go their website downloaded section there is an xScope 5.35 (Android 2.1 +) with everything working and no ads!

Maxthon - I didn't like it at first, but after testing for awhile; I guess it grew on me. (BTY, thanks rubyknight for the heads-up)

Now here's my problem I started noticing my battery draining faster than usual, so I fully charged it and uplugged from charger.

~2 hours later I see it's at 88%; that's 6% per hour [idle] (WHAT:eek:)

So I poke around in Spare Parts > Battery history and see this:

Clicking on Maxthon shows the exact time used as uplugged in battery stats.

Now Maxthon is not showing up in 'Running' or 'Cached' processes; WTF is going on.

Can anybody shed some light on this?

The shift is free at bestbuy and the readings I witnessed were far better then the evo in every regard, that cpu may be 800mhz but it beats most the 1ghz with that, I can't imagine what it will do when I set it to 1ghz let alone 1.8ghz if I get that hellish, my mom owns the 3D but I don't think I will need that must power, let alone do I see anything mobilewise needing that much short of a brain to tech interface, the battery life on her phone is disgusting and I have done everything in my power to help her keep it living but it just dies all the time, the shortest I have read about the shift is 24 hours and that's with heavy use, I think I will be fine with the shift and hell if I want to get the 3D later I am sure I can take my moms or just get it in Feb when the next upgrade is up.
