To what was discussed earlier on moving maps from /data to /system to fix the GPS problem, I have a better understanding of the two now just from perusing w/ root explorer this morning. I did not realize that they were on two separate partitions. Having realized this, and realizing that /system is way too big (~120MB left), and /data is way too small, only 35MB left, and this is after pruning apps I don't use regularly, I'd like to move the part of maps (not on SD) that's consuming /data space over to /system, as well, maybe some other apps. Davlik is like the fat boy that consumes too much and is evicting others... wonder whose idea it was to put davlik on /data instead of /system... maybe a technical constraint involved which requires it?

Anyway, question is, is it as simple as moving the respective apks in root explorer (e.g. maps, etc.), or does this break apps?

Incidentally, merely toggling the GPS off, then on again, fixes the problem w/o doing anything else for a short while. I learned this when it first started happening, as this used to be a fix w/ doughnut.

I wonder if LbsTestMode would help... I had to use it in order to fix the problem w/ wife's moment, but her GPS is perpetually borked w/ no sign of ever being fixed, might even be a HW thing, which is all the more reason I need 100% working GPS on the Hero.

Try running maps without navigation that seems to never lose the signal totally or it has the ability to recover. I notice a lockup every now and then but it always recovers. Navigation is bad about recovering once it is lost.

I finally understand your comment (d'oh!)... before i wanted to compare firerat w/ external app storage, but this seems like an apples to oranges as firerat mod has nothing to o w/ apps on sd.

It changes (well at least your phone thinks it has changed) the opengles version to 2.0 (we're currently running 1.1 on this stock) and allows any app that supports 2.0 the benefit of all it's features. It really just tricks the app that you're running into thinking your device has 2.0.

so no brainer to change, or is it ymmv like JIT?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Just edit your opengles version in build.prop ;)

Completely different than JIT. It just changes how your device handles/renders 3D graphics.

To your earlier moving questions I would only move 1 + 4, otherwise you'll lose the other ones when you flash a rom as that will overwrite your system. There is a full gapps pkg I linked yesterday in the thread which includes both of those btw. Now your next q, the edit is all you need, it tells maps you have open gl 2.0, which allows vector. Next the button remapping will override the original intent of the button, but the secondary functions of the button remain, like search when pressed in marker will still bring up search, only when screen is off it would do what you told it to. I Have my call button set to do MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE. I never used that button anyway.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
Thanks, makes sense! To be clear on first point (moving question), I'll lose /data apps anyway, w/ upgrade from 2.2.1 to GB, but you meant minor updates like nightlies right, when one is not wiping?

I don't think I want to remap keys then. But what about:

ro.fl.long.press.volume.rocker.track.change.enable = 1' in build.prop?

will that achieve the end that I'm after, w/o side affects (i.e. overwriting primary purpose of a key)?

Edit: BTW, do you the post number on that full gapps link you posted? I've been trying to find that along w/ the post where someone compared side-by-side firerate w/ builtin apps2sd for me and I cannot find it for the life of me!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] <Spartan>:
Is there anywhere else I can download the rom update?

Also is there a guide to installing opengles 2.0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
btw, I have no opengles version in build.prop (/system/build.prop)... should I, if now running AOSP v.9.9.2 and not this GB aospCMod?

You can find the ROM in the original post. Also, the instructions for that have been posted. A lot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:

That will do nothing, dhero was joking.

No, on my phone, you must search, or go to romrepo.info, the file is called gapps combined 01/23, about 16mb, again you must search.

Seems that Froyo is SoL on this one, as I see no opengles line in buld.prop.

But this is VERY noteworthy just the same. Does this mean, updated build.prop w/ this GB rom on Hero, users can utilize the ability of Maps 5 offline caching and vector based map?!

If so, can't wait until GPS is ironed out and I will assuredly be back!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Actually theres a thread for opengl with a flashible zip in hero development, and the needed build prop edits for froyo. You can get vector and offline cache with version 131072 in the prop line.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
the openGLES is not actually changing the software to 2.0 as that has to do with software for our chips, its pretty much just tricking apps into thinking we have it so they run with expanded features and will not really increase performance. Check out kifno's angry birds in the theme section or pm me and ill link you (it runs really smooth with little to no hiccups or lag). And yes vector maps works (as well as 3D tilt) but its not pretty, as i said its not actually changing the openGLES version but making the apps think we have updated hardware. just like how editing the device name(to whatever) in build.prop doesnt actually turn your phone into a droid x but tricks the market into thinking thats what you have.

ok. I get it now. It's a nice tweak though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
Not sure how this worked, but it worked for me, but it worked.

Turn on the GPS, start maps and drive. When the GPS stops tracking, toggle the GPS off and back on. Repeat a couple of time. After 2 or 3 timesit just stayed locked. Tried it again a couple of hours later and never lost the gps signal. I will try again in the morning on my way to work.

Could you please define 'not pretty'. I like the idea of vector based Maps and offline cache, as I many times drive in and hike in the mountainous West Coast (Locus is really useful as it can download maps from a bevvy of sources)... but if it looks like crap and would imagine taxes the hell out of the Hero as vector over bitmap typically does, particularly for non optimized HW, then I may just pass.

Thanks for the knowledge, it is appreciated.

I just realized something about the 1/26 version of CW recovery 3.0.0.5...I can't restore any of the backups I made of the 2/9 or 2/10 roms after flashing any of the battery icon mods. The only backups I can restore are those I made without first flashing any of the circle battery mods.

Any backup I made with RA 1.7 restores fine, regardless of whether or not the the circle mod had yet been flashed.

Just wanted everyone to know...check your 3.0.0.5 backups to see if they will restore!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
akmd is the screen orientation sensor (the one that changes your screen from landscape to portrait. If it's taking up 80-90% cpu, then most likely you have turned Auto-Rotate off. You need to leave that on for some reason. Back in CM6, there were options to turn off the orientation for for 90, 180 and 270, so that was the work around. But with AOSP, there is only an option to turn off 180 degree rotation, no other work around that I know of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
I rebooted my phone last night and had to toggle my GPS on and off a couple of times, then it locked on for good. It's not a fix, but a workable workaround for now.

looked through the Wiki and didn't find anything. also, I read the last couple of pages and didn't find what I was looking for. the problem is my incoming sms stopped working randomly yesterday. just barely got done wiping cache and delvic. then I flashed the newest aospcmod. my sms is still broken.. if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
First, if you are using non-stock sms app, you still can't delete the stock sms app, if you did that, it would kill your incoming sms. Second, if that is not the case, the fix is to wipe, nandroid, flash a sense rom, update your prl and profile, wipe, nand back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] partytrikk:
ill have to try the latter then.

I've done it before but its been a while.. any special instructions for updating prl and profile, or can I just do it from the settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
I turned off 180 and its still at 85% I think it maybe the google maps with the 3D. I had it running and gps to see how long it would stay locked on. And even after leaving maps my gps stayed at the top for a long time.

Edit I stopped the map and its still at 85%
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
yes from the sense settings

Chill, it's a running tally, it will change as you use your phone more. If you really want it to go away, stop looking at it, or reboot your phone, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
Sorry, I misread. I thought you said it was taking 85% CPU, not battery. The percentage in the battery stats is a percent of the used portion of the battery, so if you are at 80% battery, the 85% is 85% of 20%.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
Lol I was just looking to see what was using up my bat. I noticed it dropping faster than before. I never seen it that high before I did reboot. Went to settings/display turned of auto rotate its still 85%. If its no big deal im not going to worry about it. But never seen it that high before.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mtran2988:
What about the other question, do you have things Syncing up frequently?

Ie. Twitter checking in every 30 mins, as well as facebook. Piling up things that access up to sync can drain the battery. Of course unless im incorrect on that, then feel free to correct me.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
np, I think there is an easier way to update your profile/prl without a sense rom, but I can't remember where I saw it. The flash sense method works, and only takes about 10 minutes. I forgot to tell you to make a nand of sense before you restored, that way you can nand restore into sense to update in the future, my bad lol.

Nice rom so far, been using it for almost 3 weeks. Only things i've found so far are:

when playing music, if i try to access anything that uses Data, like Facebook app or web browser, the music starts to stutter, then phone gets really sluggish, and then finally freezes altogether. weird. it seems to happen almost every time too, not sure why.

today I connected to my comp via usb, and tried to transfer files like i normally would, and i can copy files from phone to comp, but not the other way around, instead getting a cyclic redundancy error. definitely don't know what that's about, tried rebooting phone, and computer, still getting that error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
to your first issue, up your min cpu freq to 264000 or higher, to your second, no idea.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonbtrini:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
you must have flashed a non-stock kernel, right? I hate JIT. If you flashed a deca kernel, go grab the battery tweak in the second post of his thread and use that to change your scaling.

Yeah i actually flashed one a deca kernel...thanks for the heads up on the battery tweak, gonna go check it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
to use the tweak, open your terminal emulator app, type "su" then enter, then type "batt-cfg" then enter, then type "3" and follow the prompts until you get to the frequencies. your min should be 245xxx if you're on the #43 kernel, 264xxx if you're on the #589.

not sure about your second issue, but... side from upping the minimum clock speed value, you can also try changing the "governor". i changed my to smartass. it can still get a little funny sometimes, but doesn't lockup or reboot. i may still up the clock speed eventually, but i decided to try this first in the hopes that i might get better battery life by keeping the minimum speed set lower.

Hey guys. I've got an interesting scenario here. I'll admit I've been away for a while, I got the BlackMod back in december and was pretty happy so stuck with that. I checked back and found this and was excited to try it out. So I downloaded the rom and flashed it, started getting loops of the htc logo. I saw the post that said to flash an uncapped kernel and the battery tweak, so I tried that, and now it just sits at the htc logo. I've let it wait for 20 minutes... and nothing changes.

I went to the old stock rom and tried to re-root, then install blackmod, and now the same thing is happening. I'm sorry I didn't read all the posts on here, and even a few searches didn't pull anything up. Does anyone have any ideas?
