Does this one have DSPManager and any of CyanogenMod settings?

I need to give something new a go. Still running 1st AOSP/CM from early June and I am just about at my wit's end. GPS, more so, Google Navi is just completely unreliable for me. It invariably gets slow and bogged down, to the point of force close being necessary; sometimes it reboots as well because of this and its extremely frustrating when traveling.

I have done everything under the sun to try and fix it but to no avail. It makes me want to go back to the far stabler AOSP Froyo, but I would dearly miss some gingerbread features such as the cursor arrow that I use frequently.

Does anyone know a stabler, less resource heavy Google Navi that works brilliantly on their Heros? Perhaps therein also lies part of the rpoblem. The last few just have not done it for me; maybe in part because Google Devs don't expect any phone w/ specs of Hero to be running Froyo, let along GB.

I don't wanna upgrade my Hero any time soon for a variety of reasons, but I have to get this Navi/GPS problem fixed!:eek:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
yup same here. been that way since march. after upgrading to 2.3.4, I thought the problem had gone away. But GPS and Goog Navi is always problematic for anything more than a 15-20 minute run. Mine no longer force closes as much (maybe because it can rob memory for a considerable period of time since i have auto killer on aggressive preset to help mitigate this issue), but it will get lethargic in no time, rendering turn by turn utterly useless.

I also get the FCs on Navigation after about 20 to 30 mins (I'm on the Evervolv rom but it's a similar build to this one). It's pretty annoying because I use Nav quite a bit and need it to be reliable.

I'm going to try different settings in setcpu to see if the Nav performance may improve. If nothing seems to work after a few days, I may switch over to jaybob's rom with the .35 kernel, as I've read the GPS/Navigation appears to be working better in there.

EDIT: My current setcpu settings are Ondemand 352min 691max. I'm going to try upping the min and/or changing the governor to see if I get better results.

Gentlemen, just an FYI here....On my particular phone, I've found a setup that so far has kept GPS/Nav from freezing or FC. I boosted up SetCPU quite a bit and so far have had successful non-freezing tests of up to 25 and 30 mins over the past day or so. Here's my post in the jaybob thread:

Try Jaybobs rom. Everything works as long as you flash the .29 kernel from his thread as well. It's like AospCMod except that it actually is open source and more up to date until/if Aosp updates this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
Well I sure believed that perception but now jaybobg is screwing GPS as bad as AOSP, just different symptoms but I am getting close to throwing the thing against the wall or just getting a cheap standalone GPS for the car and give up trying to use Hero for any GPS nav purposes.

GPS always has worked for the quick GPS fix uses where any app just wants to offer location based info.

kernel flashing

i've flashed about 20 times already trying to get a feel for what roms i like. i have the step by step process for flashing when it comes to doing factory reset, dalvik cache, etc..is there a certain order when flashing the kernel or does it really matter as long as you flash it in the screen where your doing all that stuff....Thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Flash the rom then the kernel. Most roms have a cooked in kernel so if you flash it after you flash the rom you like, it will overwrite the cooked in kernel. Or at least that's my assumption
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyliner342007:
Thanks bro will try and come back with up dates

[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
Do a backup of your current rom, wipe and flash one of the roms suggested, goto settings and in one of the choices, I forget which one will be the option to update prl and pri. Do that, because its only available on an htc sense based rom, then restore your nand of your current rom and your updates will still be there. Then your mms should work unless you chose to replace your sprint number with your google voice number because they don't support mms.

how to do a nand restore

i have a back up of my original rom that came with this phone which is 2.1. could i just restore it back to the original then flash it to a new rom of my choice so the mms will work???

and how do i do a nand restore?? im assuming i can use clockwork mod Rom manager to do that correct??

recommend some good htc sense roms???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dawgz:
Honestly I have not used clockwork mod Rom Manager ever since I first rooted... I think doing things in recovery is a lot cleaner and easier (in the long run) so which recovery are you using? ClockworkMod (CWM) v.3* ? clockworkMod v.2* or Ramon RA ?

To find out, you can power off your phone, and press HOME button while powering on, and you should be able to get into recovery. Under recovery there should be a menu called something like "back up and restore" (this is for CWM3) most recoveries should be similar. Under restore, you should see the nand backup you made and you just click it to restore.

Then once you bootup to your old sense phone, follow youdug's instructions: Go to settings, about phone, update prl, update profile, nand or flash back to ur rom of choice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
your backup of 2.1 should work fine

+ hold down power button as if to reboot. press "reboot" then when you get the reboot options, choose "recovery"

+ once you see the recovery screen, scroll down to "backup and restore" ( it may also be called "nandroid"

then choose "backup". it will take a minute, then it will return you to the menu.

+ choose "wipe cache partition"

+ then scroll down to mounts and storage. format boot, system, data, and cache. be very careful not to format sdcard.

+ go back to the main menu using the "back" button.

+ go to "advanced", then "wipe dalvik cache"

+ back to main menu, go to "backup and restore", then "restore". choose your 2.1 backup. restore it.

after it finishes, reboot your phone, go to settings > about phone > and find the section for update prl, pri. (cant remember exactly, but it's there.

after it's done, you do all this over again, except you wont back up anything. just restore your backup that you just made instead of the sense 2.1

just reflashed to an htc liquid sense

i just installed the 2.1 liquid sense rom and went to update my prl and pri...it said it couldn't at the moment so i did a firmware update. i downloaded it and installed it. i am looking at a screen of an android looking at a triangle with an "!" inside it. is that normal and what do i do???

Ya I don't understand....sending pictures worked with my original stock Rom to this phone. Originally the next Rom I upgraded to was cm7 6.0.3., after that I went to Aesop's. Before I flashed I wiped data then cache the dalvik cache then battery stats, would wiping one of those out get rid of my mms....

Well ill try flashing the jaybobs Rom twice and see if it fixes it. Someone told me if something doesn't work at first is to flash the same Rom again....maybe that will work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Don't bother with battery stats. That can actually cause problems. Wait until you have a rom working the way it is supposed to, then calibrate the battery if you want.

I believe it is both depending upon where you live. I could be wrong though, but I seem to remember both being discussed when the change occurred. I am 01115.

I just came back to this rom after playing with some others and erasing my sd card accidentally (with a 3.0.2.4 CWM too). Really dumb move as I hadn't fully backed up in a couple of months. It's amazing how small this rom is, and how well it works with less bloat. It looks like I have more room on the SD card as well...uh oh!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
Unless you absolutely NEED to stay on 2.3 (GB), you could try flashing back to aospMod (2.2 froyo)....there were no GPS/Nav issues at all on that.

Although I think it's still unclear as to whether the current GPS issues are due to the new 2.3 roms or if they are more caused by some new features (like offline caching) in the newest versions of Maps. So if Maps is what's really the problem, going back to aosp 2.2 may not completely fix the issue.

I suppose your idea of getting a separate stand-alone GPS device is a guaranteed solution.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n33sirgp:
I guess I gotta update either way lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyliner342007:
Well I have flashed about 10 times and tried updating my prl and profile but have been unsuccessful...I flashed back to jaybobs asops...I guess ill live without mms until I can find a way to get it to work....I wish there was a just a file I could download and install to restore my mms.... :-(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyliner342007:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
After you went to stock then re-rooted and re-flashed this, did you use some app to restore all your settings? If so you are probably restoring whatever is messing it up. Start from scratch for all system settings and apps, and just restore 3rd party apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skyliner342007:
The only type of restore program I used was my back up root...and i only backed up contacts...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Don't use any third party apps.

Back up your contacts with google instead, then do a complete fresh install of rom and gapps, and after it syncs your contacts, go into the stock sms app, double check that auto retrieve is enabled, and try to send/receive.

Or don't. :)
