What Doesn't Work

Here is an updated list of issues with current 0.1.2:

no camera (they still need to add the eclair stubs to libcamera before we get camera working)

no accelerometer (no compass, auto-rotate)

no light sensor

G mail restarts

built in portable wifi hotspot gives error

SU binary update WILL NOT lose root if you have full root access (not one-click) and S-off, need someone with S-on to test and see if they keep root.

More to come and hopefully moved to front page
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
HAHA...But Sir - You want this phone...it has Gingerbread...the newest and greatest thing..... :D

Yes well so does this - : twolazyg whips it out...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
It also has a much better processor, better screen, and updates straight from Google. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 :) As does the Epic, or Evo, or new phone, etc. But the hero is very nice for what it is I must say :D

Features?

What's the difference in features between this and 2.2? I flashed it but I don't see anything new so what's the use of having it? What am I missing? The settings are the same and the gingerbread features such as back button to kill app aren't there. Someone please enlighten me...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
That's it. You don't "see" anything, besides the new look.

Its all under the hood..

If you should "see" anything, its that GB is a lot smoother than Froyo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] add119:
What feature did the new update from this rom, brought yesterday?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
Its just like the upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 nothing BIG but just an overall better OS...

Rocky.

Alphas stablize into [rocky] betas, which transition into stable daily things. These happen over weeks, months even.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] add119:
This is a strip 2.3 os feature. I finally got money to get droid 1 again, but that off topic.

Point i want to make is that droid 1 roms of 2.3 os has more feature then this device, because it on alpha. Meaning developers are trying to figure out, which features they will put on this phone that works. And the one that doesn't will be strip off or an option for us to turn on or off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] add119:
Bro your wrong 2.2 os brought alot of features that was bad statements.. Only non tech geeks say stuff like that.

Sorry but if your name happens to be add119 then don't quote me nor say I'm posting false statements... Thank you... Yes there are plenty of new features from 2.1 to 2.2 but "YOUR" missing "MY" point...

Been testing this update since àbout 12 pm westcoast. Checked YouTube, movie trailors, GPS, navigation, battle life and so far everything's working perfect. Nothing has forced closed....even xda. Everything seems to be working above perfect because I have a antique hero running gb. Are you serious?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmkarnai01:
And just everyone knows have been using cwm 2.5...... and nothing above.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmkarnai01:
My only problem is with at least the last several updates my phone boots then after it reads my SD card it then reboots my phone goes to the white HTC screen and gets stuck. I then have to take my battery out and then turn it back on. It then boots fine. Besides that everything is perfect. Aosp how do I send you a beer or two?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HandsomeOne:
If you would like to send a donation (Beers)to aosp, on the first page under his name you will see a Donate To Me. You will also see a thank you button at the bottom of post one you can also see Donate button there. Thanks aosp for all the great work !!!

I have been flashing roms for years,here are things I do. Found out this works when i have problems with any rom

Read Wiki !!! http://romrepo.info/wiki/

Pull Battery unplug usb then hold power button down for about 10 seconds (May drian and left over power on chip and or static don't know but seems to help) JMO

BACKUP Get Titanium Backup Pro Its worth it from market, It allows you to backup your programs and program data without system data that change in rom.

Backup your sdcard to your computer

Remember this rom is a work in progress !!

Make sure battery is at least 50-70 % charged

Use Clockwork 3.0.0.5 on fisrt page made for gingerbread

Wipe all the following sections THREE TIMES !! EACH

wipe data/Factory reset

wipe cache partition

goto mounts and storage

format boot

format system

format data

format cache (Becareful not to hit format sdcard here)

Go back to anvanced

Wipe Dalvik Cache

once you have wiped everything Three Times goto install zip If you use Firerats (i Do) flash Frxxxrecovery.zip go back to advanced Reboot Recovery

when back in recovery goto mounts and storage I just wipe system,date and cache once. goto install zip flash rom, gapps,kernel(if needed)

Flash Firerats Frxxxxboot.zip last and reboot.

Don't no why this works, may have something to do with residual files left after format or wipe, like quick format vs full format ???

I still have more question then answers !!!

Good luck hope this helps? YMMV

No force closes here

My system df -h shows 137 so i set mtd 140 2 3% unused

My Setup

No addon except Firerats (some may need Deca 691 kernel as some hero's do not boot at 768)

Phone: Sprint HTC Hero CDMA

Radio: Sprint Radio v2.42.02.10.29

ROM: aospCM7Mod 2.3.2 [2/10/2011]

Recovery: Clockwork Mod Recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-heroc-20110126-154306.img

Tweak: FireRat's Custom MTD (140 2) don't think cache setting should be higher than 2

Zeam Launcher (you can find in market) less option but FAST !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
Yes this is a know issue and has been since 2.2, I have talked about this many times and many have this issue, although some swear they can do a conference call, everyone I asked have not, I really wish they could resolve this issue as I use conference calling a lot for business but have not in the past 3 months because of this issue with Froyo or GB Roms, when really important to do a conference call I end up restoring 2.1 for that reason and then revert back when done, a lot of work but sometimes I have no choice :(

FWIW I am amazed that no one ever complains about resolving this issue, I guess we are the only 2 that use conference calling I guess. If anyone out there knows a better work around this I would really like to hear it. I have many to check to see if they have the same issue and never a reply.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrosno:
I had YouTube playback until I reinstalled Apps2SD (or Collins batt tweak). Might have something to do with Dalvik being on SD or in CachePart.

I will move everything back to phone and try it again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rooster85:
Your not alone, I can watch like 3 videos then it gets stuck on the loading screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrosno:
I get a "Cannot play video on mobile" error right on the YouTube screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrosno:
Nevermind. It must depend on the video. I have not changed a thing and I can playback the videos that were posted to my FB this morning. But cretain ones play and others I get the error above.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zexter:
I would wait until the next update, to update. I install every new version, and the 2-10-11 version has given me tons of force closes and lag issues. If you can, just wait till the next version comes out.

Just an fyi :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dburg84:
Wipe cache and dalvik before flashing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
+1. I'm not having any issues.

I'll pass on this update. Gps is my only issue and this doesn't seem to address it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dokted:
dumb question

tried to find it, but can't seem to. I applied a theme from the theme launcher. How do I un-apply it? Tried a wipe cache/dalvik and reboot. Not keen to wipe/format just yet. t
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
You apply another theme over it and that does it... :).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dokted:
thanks, but what if i wanna just go back to stock, so pfer's batt. mods will work?t
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Market issues...

Anyways, here are some things I did and the results, after flashing the 02/10 release (post full wipe & the whole 9 yards).

1. Downloaded and installed appbrain from the market on the phone - success

2. Downloaded and installed Fast Web Installer, for appbrain, from the market on the phone - success

3. Tried activating Fast Web installer - Failed

4. Tried a few more times - activating Fast Web installer - Success

5. Tried installing apps from Appbrain (web showed Fast Web installer enabled) - Failed

6. Synced apps from Appbrain app - success

7. Tried "Perform install" from appbrain app - Failed

8. Installed TB, loaded an old backup and restored apps - success

BTW, I did perform the market fix steps before trying any of the above... so, that was in place.

I know most of us are having market issues and I am not sure if it is related to the new market or the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hoesnaps:
Choose the theme called system and pfer's circle battery mod should work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dokted:
appreciate the tip. that worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrunnerli:
market

I guess it was a problem with the new market. I tried downloading apps this morning and i have not had any problems downloading them. By the way, you should try the new android website at market.android.com no www in the front. you can install directly from website just like fast web install would do. Its really nice.

GPS Issues

I don't know about everyone else...but my GPS on the 2/9/11 is all messed up...

It will only stay locked for a few minutes at best and then loose signal. Even in GPS status app it will lock on and loose it, so I know its not the Google Maps messing up...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] picklerick:
i get this too, its always like the first boot after i flash something crashes and then

it boots fine.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Been talking about this awhile. It's brought up almost daily in this thread ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that too... I have had mixed results with the web based market.

Most of the times, the apps start downloading and then they just disappear... nothing happens. If I check "my apps" on the phone, they show as downloading... immediately or after a while - wifi or 3g. Then if I tap on any of those apps, they suddenly start installing, as if they were waiting for me to remind them, that they had to be installed ;-).

Some of the times, they just do not appear on the phone - no download or install.

The sync on the web based market does not seem to work properly, it shows some old time apps, that I do not have anymore, still installed on my device.

More often then not, "My apps" does not even show all apps that are installed on my phone. Even though - "Notify me" is active for updates, it does not even show the icon on the status bar.

Again, all this makes me think if it is related to the ROM or just the market in general.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
+1 Same issues. I had an old market 2.2.7 saved in TiB that I was able to restore. My problems went away when I use 2.2.7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
I have tried several AOSP GB builds and I always had minor issues with every build. He is the man though, I'll give him that. I went back to AOSP v0.9.9.2 with a few tweaks (Firerat's etc) and my phone is absolutely 100% working and fast as hell. Of course I did the same thing when AOSP started his FroYo build... tried a few, went back and forth until he got it all tweaked out. Same thing here... progression. He'll get there... time is our only enemy. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've asked about the conference calling a few times with no response. Restoring 2.1 seems a drastic step to make something simple like a conference call work.

Well I hope the devs get to it sooner rather than later. With all the hard work they are putting in to fix people's gps, market, and video playback, I guess something's got to go on the back burner.

As a side note, I have tried combinations of the stock kernel and the Decafuct +battery tweak, Firerat's MTD and no MTD, and nothing seemed to make a difference. On the bright side, the market and gps seem to be working fine for me. :D

I just had a thought, is there a way of geting the dialer in 2.1 and porting it to 2.3 the same way that they fixed Sprint Visual Voicemail?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
The issue is it seems like so far only us two care about it, LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dburg84:
DonB, join IRC channel in OP. Better chance of getting a quick answer/fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaisanders4u:
Is there any way to get the stock music player to play WMA files
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jdlumley:
Im running the 02/10 build and when I hit Power Off it brings up the Reboot menu.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Note: I'm using Deca's kernel and battery tweak.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kingdazy:
nevermindthis,badpost
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrunnerli:
did you do a full wipe before flashing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
If you want to turn off that feature then go to settings > cm settings > interface and uncheck power prompt. Now when you hold down power and hit reboot it will just reboot the phone. ;) If that is what you're referring to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaisanders4u:
I have been able to get the conference call to work by switching to the other line first and it will give you a short dial tone. Then dial the number or select the contact. Works for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
Thanks for the suggestion. Can I ask you to be a little more specific. How do I switch lines first? The only options I see on the dialer is Add Call,End, and Dialpad.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
I have before and spoke with AOSP on this matter in the IRC on the Froyo build and we have tried many things and it was still a no go
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaisanders4u:
Press the call button while in a call. Or after you try to make a conference call there will be and arrow on the top right of you screen to swap calls.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
The issue is others need to try and see if they are able to make a conference call, this way if others have the same issue then I believe he will devote more time to the issue, I have spend countless hours with AOSP before on the Froyo build and we were still not able to get it to work, once I Nandroid back to a 2.1 build then there are no issues:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
Explain your process again as I have tried many many ways and it was still a no go, as soon as I switched over to the next call after dial tone I would get the fast busy signal and be disconnected from both calls.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
I have tried that process and still does not go through, or gets disconnected
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Double twist might convert it for ya.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
While on a call, I hit add a call, then it allows me to dial a number or use a contact, then once I dial out the number or contact and then hit merge button ( Mine is on top left) that is when I get the fast bust signal every time, I have even waited to merge the call to try to hear the second call ring, but it is silence, so then I merge and then no go, fast busy signal, it seems can make the conference calls and many others cannot, don't know why
[Hero CDMA Android Development] radrian92:
No I also havr a problem with that -_-
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Yea, I get the laggy UI stuff, too. It's nice and quick after a fresh boot, but it doesn't take long before the lag sets in. happens with JIT on or off, and no compcache. I keep CPU at 691. no widgets running or anything like that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
Same here. CM 6.1 was a bit faster on the UI.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
I have tried hitting the green call button next to the home button, but there is no response once I'm already in the call with the 1st number. My only option is to hit the "Add Call" button. I then get the same problem that DonB is describing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Never had the need to use conference calling, but I just tested and the only method I have to make a conference call is how DonB is doing it. I get the same result as DonB and jneg. After dialing the second number there is only silence on the line. When I hit merge, fast busy signal. I hit manage calls, and I hang up on the second line.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] FussyQBert:
Got this rom up and running and its working great. One problem I've encountered is not being able to access the CM CPU settings. I just get a force close when trying to access that menu. Anyone else have this problem?

Only have Deca's 691 kernel

EDIT:

also noticed that sometimes when trying to turn on USB mass storage, after clicking the link in the notification pull-down, the screen to turn it on just flashes then goes away. Replugging in the phone fixes it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
the kernel is likely why you dont have those settings. I wouldn't use it if you don't need to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
The issue is the use of Deca's kernel. Not the kernel itself, but simply the fact you are using a kernel other than stock. I had been using the same kernel since first flashing this mod. Beginning with the 2/10 build, I get the fc when trying to set cpu under performance tab. I reflashed without the kernel and all is well.

Edit- Duce beat me to the punch, as usual :-;

Sent from my Gingerbread Hero on XDA App!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] FussyQBert:
Ah damn. Thanks for the info. Sadly my hero can't boot above that so it looks like I'm stuck at 691...

I thought there was a kernel that had a 691 boot-lock and then uncapped after? Maybe I was dreaming :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
When you boot up don't have your phone plugged in.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
as usual ;)

deca's #43 is the one, capped at 691 at boot, scale up to 768 if you want to

correct-ish, the stock GB kernel now boots at 691 (won't scale up with a charger plugged in though), however, there is about a 10ns chance for free scaling (deca told me) so sometimes it will loop/freeze. the #43 kernel works like a charm. I personally just keep pulling the batt with stock kernel until my phone gets past the 10ns hiccup and boots, takes a while (10min or so) but it works fine once booted up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Pretty sure stock kernel boots at 691, after a fresh install it's always listed 691 as the default Max in setcpu, the built-in one, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kingdazy:
I had serious issues with DblTwst on this ROM, freezing (but music would not stop, had to pull batt to get the damn thing to shut off, lol.), lock screen controls did not work. Use with caution.

also lag here too. regardless of launcher, lag will set in eventually.
