Go to you GV, click on the phone number in the top right corner and then click settings. Uncheck the option to screen callers - that will eliminate the need to press 1 to accept phone calls. My calls just ring straight through to my phone.

Yes, the picture messages to the normal messaging app are annoying, but you can still get notifications from the stock messaging app so it's pretty much the same. I use chrome browser on my laptop and have the GV extension button installed, it makes responding/sending text messages so easy! Also I like how the phone rings on my google talk and my cell phone and i can pick up whichever one is more convenient. I HATED GV for the first week then after I was forced to deal with it I really started liking it.

Only other drawback I can think of is that you don't receive your text messages unless you have data connectivity, either through 3g or wifi. That sucks.

Almost every sms app but the built in one has the ability to blacklist sms from a particular sender.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jazzruby:
So by blacklisting the sms, I take it the voicemail is still downloaded but there's no alert?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
Oh man I forgot that I had already posted in this thread.. lol

Thanks for the file! I'm going to try it out now.

To the people that say stick with GV, heck no! 1st, I already didn't like the idea of Google having all of my voicemails on their servers, and texts is even worse. 2nd, it freaking TOOK OVER my phone. I don't even have the option of using my other text apps while that is installed. 3rd, it uses data all day long, whenever I text etc. My battery died at like 6 PM, usually it lasts all day.

Screw Google Voice!

Edit: I thought I read somewhere that they recently added the feature in CM7 to turn those text alerts off, maybe in a nightly? I don't know I read too many threads on this forum and they all blend together :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Firstly, Google already has all your email, your contacts, your location, etc on their servers anyway, having your voicemails and text messages are not actually much bigger of a step. It doesn't even matter if you're not using GMail, if you flashed GApps, you already have a presence on Google's servers.

Second, it doesn't "Take over your phone" unless you tell it to. If you paid attention during the setup, you'd see that it actually asks you when/whether or not you want to use Google Voice to make calls, and when texting someone for the first time, you get the option of picking what messaging app to use. If you chose Google Voice and then clicked the checkbox to make it default, that's why it did that, and is very easily fixed by going into the Applications menu from the main phone Settings, and clearing teh defaults for Google Voice.

Finally, GV is most likely not killing your device, because yes, it does use data (and even more so when you use it to text), but it's not using massive amounts of it, just very small marginal ones.

I don't understand why GV is so difficult for some people to use, it's really pretty easy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
You have a point about Google already having a lot of my info.. baby steps though, they couldn't just take over the world all at once, nobody would buy it :D

I never had the option of choosing who handles my texts. I had to use GV for voicemail, and they did away with my old GV number, so I had no option but to set my GV number the same as my phone number. This enabled sprint integration, and took control of my texts. It seems to be either all or nothing.. I saw a workaround, if you go to GV settings from a computer there is a way to forward the texts to your phone so it can handle them, but GV still processes them. I guess that would take care of the battery life..

Finally, GV IS killing my device. With normal use my battery died like 4 hours early yesterday. The only difference in my setup was the GV crap.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
Thanks man, that seemed to work, as in I could send and receive voicemails through the app, but when someone calls me they get a message that says to "enter the number of the person you are trying to reach." If you do that it just repeats the message. If you keep doing it it says "I'm sorry you're having difficulty reaching that person, goodbye" or something like that.

I got the same result with this method, are you sure that you are actually getting voicemail? The old "send a message to yourself to see if it's working" trick doesn't appear to be sufficient.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Well wow, what the hell. It seems the setup has changed greatly since I last installed it. I managed to sidestep the integration by asking it to use my Google Voice number, and then it failed, so I was given the option to skip.

They really ****ed up the setup. I only wanted it for the voicemail, I don't need texting and I don't need calling or integration. There's no option to do that and it's pissing me off.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, it used to be much bette.r
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
Yeah I have used it for a while because VVM wasn't working on gingerbread. It wasn't that bad, though I still preferred VVM. Now it's totally screwed. I am going back to CM6.1 if I can't get VVM working on here!

Did you try to leave yourself a message from a lan line? What does it say when you get to your message? I had and issue where it would tell me to dial the number of the voice mail your trying to open and when i would put in my number it would say invalid entry, I ended up have to call spring and have them reactivate my voice mail, It only takes a second to do but its just something else that you could try
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] thejawa:
Sorry if this has been answered before, but browsing through 1000+ pages sucks.

I'm able to send texts after flashing to this ROM, but not recieve them. I've also not gotten a phone call or a voice mail, but that may be due to the fact that no one calls me.

Any chance anyone can help out with the text issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Maybe no one texted you back?

it's not the ROM thats the problem.

Did you do a clean installation? Did you wipe first? Install gapps? What recovery are you using? Did you flash through rom manager like nobody should do? Did you try sitting with a friend ten feet away and text back and forth to really see if you don't get texts?

Need to give us more information to help. And again it's not the rom. My bet is you flashed over or flashed incorrectly.

Also, if the above mentioned ideas don't provide insight, try reflashing a sense rom (nandroid backup first), update your prI and prL, have your friends (if you have any, as it appears from your post you may be a tad lacking in that category) send you a couple texts and make sure the texts are coming through, then restore your backup. This method has helped others.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] miguelcerca:
I know not to ask for etas...so instead I will ask if aosp is done with our heros. Its been a month since the last release. With all the new phones coming out has he stopped development for our lowly device? I love aosp gingerbread, nothing compares. But my phone needs some flashing love that I cannot satisfy with anything else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Try JayBob's, it's as close to aosp's as any. Be aware, it uses the .35 kernel as stock. He has a .29 kernel on the op if you have any issues with .35. Matt, you gotta eta on that eta app? Apparently, some are in need ;)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Well if you want the latest I can post a link for you but if your looking for a channel log then I can't help you with that one. I will say the latest rom is by far a good and stable rom. More than a few users were having problems with the GPS to say its a bug wouldn't be far off. However I myself was using sprint nav and I had no problems each time I used it. So it might effect you and it might not. Other than that it was a great rom Imo. I also had data2ext ext2 installed on a 16gb class4 sd,along with the sd card tweak 2048 and jm's 806 kernel. So my setup was nice and smooth. I can say I had little to no problems. So if you want the rom ket me know. Hope this helps.

#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waqasr:
Sir I really appreciate your help and getting back to me, TBH with you I am not that tech savy to understand channel Logs and the other stuff you mentioned. I have only flashed couple of CM7's and this asopCM7 rom by the grace of God I never had any issues with any one of them. With CM7's you see new versions coming out and also updates on nightlies which keeps you posted so I was looking for something like that or around those lines for this mod as well.

If you dont mind can you please tell me for sprint Hero whats highest capacity SD card and highest class I can get?

I am still using the 2Gb SD card which came with my Hero can I apply the 2048 tweak you mentioned to my SD card? (if yes , Can i plz have the link)

I am using the default kernel which came with last asopCM7 is jim's kernel

better or give me better performance?

Sorry for asking so many noob questions.

Regards
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Well jm's kernel is based off the stock kernel that comes with this rom I believe. He released two different versions of it. One boots at 691 and can be taking up to 806 via overclock and the other boots at 806 whic is the max but can be scaled down. If your new to flashing then Id highly recommend some serious reading to avoid yourself a lot of headaches. No two heroes perform the same so for some the 806 kernel worked fine for others it caused boot loop city or over heating and for others who could use the 806 but couldn't boot at 806 he made one that boots at 691 but could be scaled up to 806 if my memory serves me right. I could be wrong. Rather than try to explain everything just search the hero development section for the thread and my advice is to read read read read. Also I'll send you the zip's of both kernels along with the link to the thread via pm and a link to dec's thread for his kernels because it contains a massive amount of knowledge on kernel's plus user feedback. You might want to check out getting your hero s-off status and setting up adb both are a necessity imo if your going to be hacking or modding your phone. Both threads are also in the hero development section but I will send you links via pm when I'm home from church. As far as the sd tweak, you could apply it to your current stoock card yes and it might give you a slight gain in performance but imo not a lot. You should consider investing in a class 4 or 6 sd card 16gb will suffice just fine. I think the hero can support up to 32 but I'm not sure. You can log on to htc website and check to make sure. Also you can find sd cards on Amazon or newegg for a very low price and trust me you will be glad you did. Also when it comes to Modding/hacking your phone always create a nandroid backup and make a copy and place it on your pc and keep your battery at least half charged before trying any mod this will help imo. And remember read as much as you can on any mod before you try it to gain a better understanding of what the mod is and the benefits and risks. I can't express that enough. As far as the link to the sd tweak I will also send it to you via pm but you can find it in the android apps and games thread. Hope this helps.

i am loving this, only thing is my signal is lower than my previous sense rom, and my download speeds are also slower as a result.

is there a way to update the prl/profile without flashing a sense rom?

if not, what is the method for flashing the sense rom to update the prl/profile?

i should probably ask what the newest prl is, mine is running 60678, which came with the rom.

i searched, but this thread has a million pages!

thx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rb3:
First there is no prl that comes with any rom. Second a rom will not effect your signal at all because it has nothing to do with it. But in a sense rom you have 6 or 7 bars that show signal but in an AOSP rom there are only four so it only appears worse. Your prl is stored below the data level that is wiped and stays with you from rom to rom. The newest prl is either 01115 or 60679 depending on where you live.

To update your prl with a sense rom just nandroid back to the sense rom you came from update prl and profile then nandroid back to this rom and it will stick.

If you want to play with different prl's and radio's from other carriers check this thread out. Other members including me have seen big improvements in data speeds while messing around with different combinations. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142401
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skanndelus:
thx for clearing that up. so the prl i have now is from my last sense rom when i updated it, even though i did a factory reset/cache wipe?

my signal strength is -97 DBm, so maybe you can tell me if that's good/bad/normal

ok so nandroid back to sense rom, update prl/profile, then nandroid back to current rom? sounds easy enough. i appreciate your help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
Anyone want to point our the main differences between this ROM and the recently released CM V7.1.0-RC1?

Just want to see if it's worth my while to redo everything and install CM7.1 or not. I am headed to Europe for the next 2 months and whatever I leave with next week is what is going to sit on my hero for that time. Thanks a million!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Dude. Do your own homework. Honestly. There's changelogs for both. Read them and thatll tell you any differences if any at all because this is CM anyway. Just aosp's is less bloat and some tweaks of his own.

Asking questions is fine but asking us to do your legwork isn't. I know flat out you didn't ask but if you want information its easier to look for it and learn than just asking a million questions.

®patience is a virtue©
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
The prl cannot be deleted or wiped when flashing ANY rom or wiping. The prl is changed only in a sense rom based from stock or stock ruu itself. Dialer codes to change the prl is a totally different story.

-97 is alright. Not a full signal but it's good enough. Im around that.

Bleh, I don't usually agree with you on AOSP but I do on that. I switched over to Jaybobs build just for peace of mind.

I'm a huge fan of Aosp's work and I have a lot of respect for the fact that he's a "Speak softly but carry a big stick" kind of guy. But all this twitter only, closed source stuff doesnt fit right with a guy that chose the username "Aosp".

I'd still happily buy the guy a beer, he's worked hard to share his talents with a phone he doesn't even use himself anymore as far as I know.
