Ok, I tried FR for the first time with 5/16 build and followed the FR guide steps. I tried several settings like: 100/15, 100/18, 100/20, 120/** and never got it working properly, always said I had 160 mb free. But I noticed that something was missing in the market since I tried that mod. So I decided to reflash CW 2.x.x to undo everything and flashed the 5/23 aosp build, I obviously wipe everything like always I have downloaded gapps several times to see if was a bad download but the paid apps tab is still missing. I would really appreciate any help, thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Which gapps are you using? A while back I had an issue with market when using the 3/25 gapps. I switched to the 3/7 gapps here (at the bottom of the page) and market has worked fine since.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krevitz:
The one in the OP. Let me give it a try and I will report back ASAP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
If you're still showing 160mb FR is not setting up correctly. Also, with aosp's roms, you will not have a "Sprint" tab, the tab will show "My apps" see attached. Let's start with FR. Create or change your mtdpartmap.txt file to 100 18 if you are using FR 1.5.8. Reflash your recovery to wipe out any previous FR settings. In recovery:

1. Nand backup

2. Wipe data/factory reset

3. Mounts and storage, wipe system and boot

4. Advanced menu, wipe dalvik

5. Flash FR Recovery 1.5.8

6. Wipe date, cache, system

7. Advanced menu, reboot recovery

8. Wipe date, cache, and system; advanced menu, wipe dalvik (this step 8 is optional; some like to do this wipe for hygienic cleanliness, but it may be unnecessary).

9. Flash 5/23 Rom

10. Flash 3/7 gapps

11. Flash FR Boot 1.5.8

12. Reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krevitz:
Thanks for your response, but I'm not looking for a ''Sprint Tab'' (I'm not with that carrier) I'm talking about the paid apps tab. I only see ''Free apps'' and the ''Just in apps'' tabs.

Edit: I just tried to reflash 3/7 gapps and no luck. (I only wiped dalvik cache)

PS: I will redo all again following these steps and report back as soon as I can.

Edit#2: I did all as you stated twice (One with step 8 and without step 8) and no luck, seems like my phone doesn't like FR and I still cannot see ''Paid Apps'' Tab. *sigh*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
to your edit#2 - FR does not discriminate, nor do the phones. If it "didn't work" you did something wrong, or have an incomaptible version of FR or recovery. Now, I do remember reading that google was disallowing rooted devices from viewing the new movies thing or something, I wonder if this is a new move on their part, but I highly doubt that. Out of curiosity, what version of FR are you using? What recovery do you have? What version of the ROM? What other tweaks, etc.? Oh and what version of the market? I am sure there's a way to make it your *****.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krevitz:
I'm using FR 1.5.8

ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7

AOSP 2.3.4 (5/23)

3/7 Gapps

No tweaks (I was just giving a try to FR because I'm at 20 mb left)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Interesting. did not know there was a "paid apps" tab. Now that I know I don't have it, however, I can't say I've missed it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
is your mtd text file named correctly and formatted correctly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
If you are using aosp's 5/23 build, he modifies the build.prop to include the following:

ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google-us

This changes the market "Sprint" tab to "My apps". If you are not on Sprint, then this change could affect the "Paid apps" tab you mention. Frankly, I have never heard of a "Paid apps" tab, but I lead a sheltered life. What carrier are you using and what version of Market do you have (duce asked this previously, but I didn't see your answer)?

Check your build.prop file (under Data) and see if you have this line of code - you should. You can try changing "android-google-us" to "android-XXXXX-us" where XXXXX = the name of your carrier, and see if that fixes it. Make sure you make a copy of your build.prop before you change it in case you need to get back to it. And nandroid backup before you start making changes to your build.prop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
I believe he is referring to something else. If you go to your market you will see 3 "tabs" Apps, Games, and My Apps. If you click "Apps" it brings up a list of categories. Choose a category, and then you will again see 3 "tabs" at the top - Top Paid, Top Free, and Just In.

EDIT: I almost forgot about this category search myself. Its been many months since I just casually browsed the market. Usually I do it online or search the market for specific apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krevitz:
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
No, my market isn't that ugly baby **** green :)

Probably your gapps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krevitz:
Edit#3 I finally got FR working properly. I just added "mtd" before "100 18".

I put mine on an old laptop cooling fan I have. It keeps it at around 85f while tethered which is good. Without the fan it gets up to 110+

[Hero CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:
changing my min to 19mhz kept my phone from cooking while I tether, I used to have to cool it down but now it just sits chill when I tether now, even torrented on it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Wireless hotspot is like a wireless gateway, or router. It can be used for multiple connections.

There is a program in the app drawer called wireless tether. There are also different apps in the market that do the same thing.

Our phones were never meant to do hotspoot. Try it in cold weather, it'll heat your whole house.

Edit: that may or may not make sense. I dont care, I'm drunk FTW.

Bluetooth

Greetings all. Fabulous and appreciated work all you devs. I've stayed on the sidelines for some time now, just enjoying the ride. I notice a few pages back some concern about Bluetooth in the latest editions, and now I am experiencing it. Connects to my car very well, but frequently just drops the call. Anyone found work-arounds?

On a related matter, the Nav in my new high-end car is not as good as the free google app on my little hero. A lot easier to see though! Wish there was a forum to root BMW Nav systems! t

Hey guys

Ever since I updated to the latest build, I have been having some minor font issues. In place of special characters, such as the arrow for more features on Google mobile page in the browser, symbols in titles of apps in the market, etc., I just see a vertical rectangular box. I don't think that anyone else has mentioned it, and I tried wiping and reflashing a few times but to no avail. I'm not very familiar with the aspect of fonts in the Android System and don't know if it might be as simple as just reinstalling the system font or something. I would greatly appreciate if you could offer any suggestions.

Thanks :)

Btw, attached is an example of this.

I'm getting the exact same vertical box in the market listing for Titanium Backup that you're showing. It showed up immediately after flashing 5/23. I saw it right away, I just never mentioned it. Nice to know I'm not the only one seeing it, lol.

@laie, I'm running CWM 3.1.0.1, but I don't think that has anything to do with the problem. I think the problem is in the 5/23 rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeffc313:
the toggle buttons on the "shade" disappeared for me recently in the 5/23 rom. Is there a way to get them back? I miss being easily able to turn on/off wifi and switch between silent/vibrate/ring easily.

like: i dont see this stuff right under the date and time bar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Check your pm's when you get a sec. And I was asking him what recovery he was using because I was offering to send him the stock font in a flashable zip. To see if it might help the font problem. But its for Ra or cwm2.5. And I don't think its the rom I have used tb on this rom and the last build and my font is fine.

#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*

Thx laie. I am seeing the same rectangular box on other apps. Can you pm me the font zip. I am using 2.5.0.7. Thx.

*EDIT* Or can it be changed in the build.prop?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n33sirgp:
FYI: I tried flashing the font, but still getting the same thing...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I noticed boxes where the words should be in font installer there were boxes instead of words on some of the fonts on 5/23. I have gone back to 5/16 because of losing around 37 mb in storage for some reason. Don't see the boxes anymore. I just started filing around with fonts recently.

Off topic, has anyone tried the flex T9 keyboard. It's a swype type and I'm really liking it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:

Yep, wiped Dalvik and... something else, can't remember. I was just plugging away on Google to try and track this down, and it seems it may be specific to certain apps. Less-than-stellar charsets.

Ok for everyone having this problem, It looks like a font file (DroidSansFallback.ttf) was removed from the system/fonts folder in 5/23. I was having the same issue and this is what I did to fix it.

Just copy DroidSansFallback.ttf to your system/font folder and the give it the correct permissions and ownership (Just copy what the other font file properties are as I cant remember off hand what they should be) then do a reboot and all will be good. A link to the font fron the 5/16 zip is below. Hope this helps. :D

Same here, seeing it in k9 mail.

Thx Hippie. This fix solved the issue for me. ATTENTION FIRERAT USERS: DroidSansFallback.ttf is 3.8mb. It will increase your system size by 4mb. Adjust your mtdpartmap.txt accordingly and redo your FR setup if you don't have enough system space set aside.

It was actually driving me nuts seeing it all over in my phone. K9 Mail, Web browser (All kinds of web sites I go to), a few apps that I use a lot that used some icons/characters from that font file. 4mb isnt really all that big I dont think but for me, it was very bothersome. :)
