After extensive customization, I'm liking this rom a lot. A few bugs here and there, but I expect those to decrease over time. Here's a few questions I have for now:

Swype, not working. Any ideas why not?

Visual Voicemail, can't seem to get it setup no matter what I do.

HOW DO I DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF DESKTOPS?! This was really easy in CM6, and I've pored over the menus yet I can't find it. I need only three desktops, not 5, and I'd like to reduce the number quickly.

Otherwise, great job so far to everyone involved, I look forward to seeing more of your work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
latest megres to cm7 repo:

volume and double tap zoom fc fix for camera

improved 2d performance for heroc

Any new aosp release after 03-10-2011 should have them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
You're welcome ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Yeah, thank you. You wouldn't be able to do something about that wifi not picking up right away? Seems like you either have to wait very long or force scan it to connect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
Menu > edit , same as in cm6 except for old versions that used an older adw. If edit isn't there (maybe under more?) Then you hid it in adw settings under menu customization.

[dpeeps74]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:
edit red in build.prop and please dont thank me:p

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
If you flashed overtop a previous build, you need to long press any text field and choose android keyboard; then long press again and choose swype. It should work fine. If you do a complete wipe and flash you may have to run the installer again. Some have been able to use TiB and reinstall swype that way . . . has never worked for me, though.

Black Screens

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that there are 2 different problems with black screens that some people may think are all the same thing. I see a lot of people referring to the black screen as the lag they are getting when they receive a call before the screen lights up. Now, although this may be annoying and make you have to let the phone ring an extra time before answering it, I don't believe this is debilitating. The black screens I have been referring too, and I believe several others have been also, is just randomly, while in a program, or when trying to change a setting, the screen just goes black and stays black. Sometimes you can hit the back button and recover from it, but often it requires pulling the battery to reboot. In addition occasionally certain parts of the screen become unresponsive to a touch, and you are forced to either back out of the screen, or as I discovered, use the trackball to complete the action. While the first mentioned problem is an inconvenience, the latter sometimes renders you dead in the water, with no choice but to reboot, often by having to pull the battery. I really don't know if these are related problems in any way, or caused by the same thing, but I think there is confusion when someone refers to a "black screen". This is my take, anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Agreed, that is also my experience.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
I have had both problems. I got rid of the black screen when ringing by using jasonmaloney's trick.. The other one to me seems like the phone is thinking too hard.. Anytime I have gotten the other one and let it resolve itself it always comes up with a "force close or wait message".. I haven't had to do a battery pull on it yet, but I'm extremely patient with it and just let it run its course..

<insert witty line about your rom here>
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
I have had the one where pull the battery is the only way to recover. Since i have done a full wipe data cache and sdcard fresh install 3/10 and the hardware tweak that was said a few posts back i have been running strong for 70hours 45min with no issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
I have had both issues as well. Back to Froyo for now for because I need something more stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
When I got the phone lag, I could usually answer using the green button, instead of the touch screen. Still takes the screen a minute to catch up, but you can at least start talking =D

Sent from my HERO200
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jtboyz01:
Loving this Rom really amazing. Only problem I'm having is that I'm running the 3/10 and my GPS is now not working. It just keeps searching for a signal. Any one have any ideas? It worked up till this update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Same issues here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] turnagerg:
same here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
The method I use now is to not uninstall anything and run the Swype Installer again. That puts it in repair mode and gets rid of the annoyances.

I love Swype, but both the market SwiftKey and the latest SwiftKey Beta stay stable enough after flashing ROMs that no bugs show up. Plus I'm faster typing with those keyboards and the accuracy is crazy good.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jadenj5:
Just saying, the link in the op say 20110314
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dlw33096:
I am at 20110307...it wont let me do a backup and install anymore updates. But the phone is running real good though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pavanmaverick:
Black screens...

I've been noticing the black screens too (not the phone call one, but the other, more random ones). Rebooting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik seems to fix the problem for a little while before it raises its ugly head again!

Is everyone who's getting these black screens on fireat's? I am, and I'm wondering if that's the culprit somehow?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:
op updated with hybrid remix you will notice that its lighter cause the path towards vanilla is closer i'am working on it that's all for now enjoy ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
Ah, the vanilla bootscreen is back. Rock n' roll.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Awesome! Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Guess that means I'm gonna start wearing my battery out stalking xda in the next few weeks :D Downloading now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
so is a fresh install suggested for this update or would a flash over be ok
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
Dropbox 3/14

Dropbox for 3/14.

Dogpile it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17351066/aospCMod-20110314-signed.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:
flash over is fine but if any funkiness occurs wipe cache + dalvik-cache from the recovery ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jtboyz01:
New version 3/14 fixed the GPS yay!!!! But what is this new profile feature time to investigate.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
I completely wipe when updating :eek: and this has been my experience as well. I backed up the installer w/ TB and just run it to get a fresh license and swype always installs w/out issue.

+1 After the ninja's trick all is well w/ the incoming call delay. :D

As for the second issue I do the same. The FC window will come up and I press wait and it will ususally resume w/ no issue. I've never had to pull the battery.

I could be mistaken but I don't think the update came out until this morning and not yesterday and the OP does say 03/15/2011 so...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Full wipe, installed the 3/14 build aosp posted this morning, and the camera still force closes on double tap. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zanywood:
Installed 3/14 or 15 not sure which so far so good install went great. What launcher r we using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Thanks aosp, closer is definitely better. :) Take your time and cook that vanilla nice. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:
stock android gingerbread launcher2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
I'm also running firerats. As I posted a few days ago, I still run into these problems even after full wipe and reflash down to 3/3 from 3/8, so I'm thinking some setting got changed somewhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zanywood:
It is fast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Aosp owns post # 10000 himself. ;)

Good on ya, aosp!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zanywood:
Yes and he answered my? ? Is there any way to stop the screen from rotating?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 808Bill:
And it is so very fitting that AOSP got the 10,000 post on this thread. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
anybody know what was taken out/changed? Obviously the launcher is different, but what else?

EDIT: I already flashed it, just curious.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Just reroot your phone, and wait for the dual-cores to come out..... And flash the zip...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinny8030:
guesstimate on stability? And AWESOME JOB AOSP....Big follower and user thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chawski:
gave this puppy a little test drive last night and given how long its been out, I couldnt be more stoked to see how far its already come! Good work!

BTW, whats everyone getting so excited about with this new keyboard? I flashed it yesterday and my impressions are...well...its a keyboard. I cant seem to find any differences above what the current stock one does? sure, its got the voice correction, but in the time it takes to press the voice button, speak the command, have it process and replace your error, you could have re-typed your mistake twice...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
There's a lot of changes under the hood to improve it. And i believe it's multi touch (can someone confirm? )

I briefly tried it, still prefer swype
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chawski:
it is not multitouch, at least not on the hero. not knocking it or anything...it works well, just dont see all the hype. Ill be sticking with swype until blindtype makes its way onto the market
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
Its much more responsive then swype & stock aosp keyboard... I mean if that's what you like to slide your finger across the screen to type then hey swype on!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I tried swype on my sister's galaxy s and I couldnt use it, lol. Im sure if I practiced it would get better, but who wants a learning curve with typing?!

Sorry for the off topic :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celthunder:
It has multitouch or its supposed to for the gingerbread keyboard I'm sticking with smart keyboard pro though which has amazing response time and let's you set how long to hold for numbers etc and etc also has some nice themes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tekkyn00b:
Not gonna happen. Google bought them! :D So it'll just be included in the the next iteration of Android's keyboard...a la...the Gingerbread keyboard via Gingerbread...hopefully.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chawski:
Ha by "comes onto the market" I mean when it becomes available like the gingerbread keyboard has for 2.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
This is why I love my hero its funny how they said fryo wouldn't be possible and were allready getting gengirbread!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Silverskull:
The Hero's multitouch kinda sucks... so... even if the keyboard supports it on our phones it won't be much good. Maybe better if it didn't work.

(For those of you whose roms have it (not sure which ones do): Go to Dev Tools and click Pointer Location. Play around in there for a bit. You'll see what I mean.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
This is awesome.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chawski:
Yea gettin a hair off topic. Whoops
[Hero CDMA Android Development] creata.physics:
Well, it looks like it's time for me to spend hours on end learning how to develop android. This is very nice, phone calls work, data and texting works. I'm going to do some research and get the browser and WIFI working, thank you very much for this AOSP, much appreciated.

Also guys, if you're going to install, remember to flash the ROM, reboot, flash gapps, then you'll be fine and not stuck in a boot loop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TpyoKnig:
AFAIK, no-one on other end hears your calls unless you've made a change that you care to share :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andygu3:
Well, the good thing is, if somebody leaves a voicemail at least you get it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] creata.physics:
Don't assume I'd be greedy and keep the good stuff to myself, of course I'd post whatever I've done. I'm going to try and get in touch with AOSP later and see about porting over some drivers to get specific things working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TpyoKnig:
true lmao 10char
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TpyoKnig:
I don't think it would be fruitful, as Decad3nce said himself that we wouldnt have working wifi/gps/camera/mic until the source code for 2.3 is release
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinny8030:
flashed cw recovery, wiped everything except dalvik applied aosp then gapps, so far everything working except camera,and accelerometer..... even had market and great connection.

Thanks AOSP!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Crazy question. Can someone that is using firerats tell me if this is the correct way to format for firerats with CWM?

Format system, data, cache.

Wipe dalvik

Flash firerats recovery

Format system, data, cache.

Wipe dalvik

Reboot recovery

Flash rom

Flash firerats boot

Reboot

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I also formats boot. And, there is another format boot, system, data, cache after rebooting recovery and before flashing the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Cool. Much appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Man, you guys are going way too fast on this thread. Can't get help this way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] derekstory:
I cant get GV to work. Was it working in the last release? I swap ROM's to much and now I cant remember, but I thought it was working.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
@user7618

There are flashable gingerbread keyboards all over these forums already.

Sent from XDA app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
Not to knock Cyanogen but this build is smoother than 6.1 even without the camera. I think all the extras bog down the phone. +1 to aosp.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ktynchy1:
No as for losing your nandroids go into your sd/nandroid folder and just move them into sd/clockwork/backup folder...works like a charm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
I got it to work in this one - But Not setting up.

Set it up in .9.9.2- Did a full backup in TB.

Wiped and formated clean -

Flashed Rom and Gapps -

Reboot.

Sync - Let it install all your apps.

Click google voice and complete the final steps.

Works....:D

G-mail - Doesn't....opens the email then Reloads - Getting closer last version would open at all. Using g-mail on the exchange app.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Just one thing I have noticed. Not a big deal. I thought the color that flashed when you scrolled to the end of a menu was supposed to be green? Mine is orange.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Why does this install with some Chinese keyboards?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I just flashed it fresh and I'm still getting permission denied.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
can you install apps2sd on this ROM, i see that it kinda has it already but it doesnt move the entire app. or is that just cause i dont have an ext partition. what are the advantages of doing this (apps2sd for apps and dalvik cache to sd)(i have 78.44 mb of internal storage already)? oh and if your still having problems with booting, i tried everything, then i decided wth might as well try clockwork recovery, and it actually did work after this. i know i know everyone said to do this but i had never had trouble with amon_ra before this. This thing is QUICK, 2.3 on my hero = one happy camper.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EmperorX:
Any word on the cause for the Gmail app to malfunction? Just curious as I haven't seen any specifics.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
I just flashed the 1228 gapps and my gmail is working fine....the stock gmail app sucks anyways
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EmperorX:
When you open an email in the Gmail app it doesn't restart? W.T.F.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
It doesn't restart, works just fine FOR ME : )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexdemonumber3:
do y'all think this rom is ready for daily use? im so excited about it! AOSP, YOU ARE THE MANNNN!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] D3FAULT:
Best way to find out is to nanroid and try it yourself. From the sounds of it, yes, as long as you don't mind not having a camera/working GMail app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Menu - Settings - Display - uncheck "Auto-rotate screen"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
All the stuff I remove anyway from what I can see :D

That didn't answer your question, but I was happy to see aosp saved me some deletes ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zanywood:
Its unchecked but screen still rotates 360 degrees. Also dark horse theme works on this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I noticed that the LED settings are not working for me after a wipe and flash. When I try to select "Flash color" the screen dims, but no option comes up to set it to green.

*EDIT* Fixed. Pulled the CMParts.apk from the last build, installed, rebooted and LED option is back working. May have been an isolated incident.

Great ROM aosp!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
I, too, am unable to control auto-rotate and brightness settings on this latest build, both from the system settings and the MySettings app.

I always like to finish a post that be construed as critical with a giant thank you for the incredible free software.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Happy to post that I tried Ninja's method of using build.prop and custom_backup_list.txt to preserve some system files and it worked perfectly. Thx Jason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rvturnage:
I had this same problem on 3/10. Took several reboots to be able to get my LED notifications set. Went back the next day to change one, and started doing the same thing again. Later, i had some funky home screen issues where the wallpaper would scroll, but the shortcuts and widgets stayed put. I re-flashed several times, and never could set my LED's again, so I went back to 3/8...now I'm wondering if i should give 3/14 a spin or not. Anyone else having the LED problems Ranger is having?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] peteytang:
New build is amazing! Anyone mind cluing me in on what this "vanilla" business is all about? Both excited and confused here...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rvturnage:
Vanilla would be straight AOSP Gingerbread, without any CM additions. Ala his Froyo build, which was quite awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] peteytang:
Yes it was!! That is awesome!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stanltod:
I had the delay once or twice on incoming calls but only for maybe one ring then it showed up.

I have never seen or experienced the other black screen you are talking about.

I have been on nearly every successive release since mid-Feb running Firerats and stock kernel. I started my AOSP GB journey with a freshly formatted SD card. Since then I have only wiped Dalvik and wiped cache and reflash FRboot after each flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stefan.on.pc:
YESSS! Vanilla sauce.

I'm still runnning his Froyo rom because Cyanogen in Gingerbread really bugged me. Can't wait for aosp Gingerbread. Thanks AOSP!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ehurt152:
I am able to do both. The only thing i did different this time, i didn't wipe. Installed over the top.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 808Bill:
I know that you can have vanilla frozen yogurt, but vanilla gingerbread? That just doesn't seem right. How about "Gingerbread without the Gum Drop Buttons"?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zanywood:
So your saying your screen isn't rotating? All's you did was flash without wiping?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I flashed after a complete wipe of the phone, and all of that stuff works fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rvturnage:
"NO! Not the buttons! Not my gumdrop buttons!" :D

So...it should be okay to install 3/14(15?) over my 3/8 installation, skipping 3/10 altogether, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zanywood:
I just reflashed without wiping and turned off all rotation and it still rotates. Driving me crazy ill have to go back to 3/10
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
have you tried adding the orientation button to the power widget, then switching it off from there?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] wushugene:
Hi, I just switched from aospFroyo - just flashed the 3/15 build. I can't seem to download any apps from the market. What can I do to fix this?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aosp:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rvturnage:
I'm not using FR but when I installed the 3/8 & tried the 3/10 build i STILL had problems with market not downloading, even after trying that fix on the 0307 gapps. I had a copy of the 20110120 gapps (gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip) that I'd downloaded previously, and used that instead. It fixed my problems for me.

wushugene: Maybe someone can give you a link to that one to try. If not, I'd be happy to do so when i get home from work in an hour or so.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 808Bill:
I never throw anything away. ;)

On my lock screen next to the battery it says "sim card is locked" what happend when hold power it don't give me the option to boot into recovery. But I can open terminal and type "su" and it gets supper users.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zanywood:
Thanks aosp. Sorry to sound like a winer but drives me crazy when my screen rotates. All else is superb on this rom. Anyone using s0be's. Kernal on this? Which #?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
did you flash a build prop? the only place I know of you could get a SIM card error is on the build prop where it says blablahbla.simcard=false, go in there and look, does yours say you have one?

mine's locked, no rotate, flashed over 3/10
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
I flashed DH 5.5
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jtboyz01:
I tried jasonmaloney fix for the black screens and I typed in the command in terminal emulator without the first three letters which are escaping me right now. But it brought back access denied and then I tried it with sudo in the front but that didn't make a difference it was the same thing. If someone could feel me in I would appreciate it thanks.

I just had the slow down lock up thing but I love the rom going to do a fresh install that's what helped before
