Thanks for your suggestions Matt. I really don't have any problems. I am a light user and usually get 2+ days on battery. My CPU setting is 691/352 with all three governors I mentioned. I was just pleasantly surprised that the wifi starts/connects instantly with ondemand when screen is turned on. I can run 768 with no problems also but see no need for my purposes. On previous builds I had some GPS reboots but since flashing 3/26 all is good. I'm guessing I'm at least 3x the average age of most readers here and I don't flash very often unless there are issues. Kudos to aosp!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Yeah there's no need to run at 768. I only notice a small jump from 691 to 729 anyways so past that it eats battery for no good use. 2 days for interactive gov and light use is pretty damn good. I wouldn't have any complaints either. Sounds like you've also got a solid CPU from them if you can run like that.

Edit. Hmmm makes me wonder what kind of batt life you could get running ondemand now.... plus your just running stock kernal.. I'm jealous. Interactive never played nice with me. Ondemand has always been my tried and true.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] wwejr4540:
Put it on the charger a couple hours ago but you can see over 2 days on battery, light use (very) and this was all with 691/352/ondemand.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
If we can focus in on this, is wifi less of a battery hog than 3G? I always thought it was better to run 3G and only turn on wifi if I needed the speed to do more browsing or downloading.

How do you guys normally run data? Which uses less battery, wifi or 3G?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wwejr4540:
A really long way. I started programming in Fortran-II on an IBM-7090 mainframe (filled a good-sized room) in 1962. Many times the power of that machine in my Hero in my hand.

Wifi uses less battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Who said no wifi? I just toggle it when I want it. I am usually on 3g because I have noticed less of a drain on the battery. My wifi is strong at my house, so I use it there for downloading things mainly because I get better d/l speeds than with 3g. I decided to do some toggling just to see the battery difference. The thing is, It's not imperative for me to get an email or a Facebook notification right when it's sent. I have other things to do besides hoping that someone will write me. So, for me, if I want more than 15-18 hours of battery life, I can toggle the data on or off if I want to. This is not a recommendation or suggestion, just a fact about this rom running on my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Arg, major issues last night. Yesterday after a week on this rom I started getting major force closes and my phone kept shutting itself off. So I changed off of using the Go Launcher EX app which seems to be a memory hog, cleared cache and Dalvik and rebooted and everything was all good.

Till this morning when I woke up... When I woke up, the phone was turned off and when I turned it on all I got was boot loops. I tried clearing the cache/Dalvik and it was a no-go. Tried reflashing the rom, still a no-go. So all I could do was nandroid back to a sense rom and try to make my phone functional before work. Byebye to my text messages and apps :'(

I am the manager of a gas station and get a lot of calls and text messages and I'm just glad they didn't need me this morning. It was very frustrating.

I was on 3/26 with Aosp's latest CW Recovery, firerats 1.5.8, and the nexus bootscreen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:
Well after installing few games and reflashing my recovery after accidentally putting an older version on, I somehow in turn corrupted my boot loader, system files, data etc, so much so that my backups would boot once but never a second time, clearing my cache and dalvik only made it stuck on htc screen and afterwards it just repeatedly booted into clockwork over and over. This all happening after trying to also make a new nand backup where it hung at system for 30 minutes only to eat up my battery from 100 to 10. So I purposely bricked it and I am waiting for it to charge so I can ruu it back and reroot and get this amazing rom back on it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
I may need help flashing a new Rom when it comes out as it has been so long since the last release that I forgot how, LOL :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wwejr4540:
In my experience, WiFi uses less battery than 3G. In places where I have a good WiFi signal, I turn off 3G. Also with good WiFi signal, it is usually faster.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
Try SMS Backup+; free on the market. Backs up your texts, MMS, and call log to Gmail. It has worked great for me since I first got my hero... and I still have all my texts while I am now on my third replacement phone, and countless ROM flashes. It's also great because your texts are now searchable via Gmail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
WiFi is certainly easier on the battery than 3G.

Look at it this way -- WiFi only has to communicate across the room, but 3G has to communicate with the Sprint tower, wherever that is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wesssider:
+1. I schedule it to do a nightly backup and keep the last few.

To all who are posting similar comments - isn't this just another way of asking for an ETA? I know we are very careful about not mentioning the words "ETA", but still...

Anyways, DonB - please don't take it personally.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
*As a southern mechanic's voice*

Well there's yer problem!

If your adding a ton of Widgets and crap to your home screens with Go ex which already as a blank launcher is a hog for our phones just opening an app would cause that. Zeam (currently) and LauncherPro have been the 2 best ones I've ran with this. IMO unless you can't live w/out GO ex try another launcher. But adding a ton of stuff to home screens will tend to cause memory leaks. Again only IMO.

Side note: those waiting for the ETA app we currently do not have an ETA for when we will have a release. Testing has begun but we haven't received an ETA from the testers concerning the ETA app. ;)

I know no ones asked but I had to since we've got nothing much else to do ;) and maybe a little ETA ?'s prevention so us thread police have to take a break from our donut holes and coffee. ;)

Edit: I stand corrected. Before I posted the evil ETA word sprang up... dammit. Patience is a virtue my friends ..

Not taking anything personal here, there has been more said the past few days like, suicide watch, etc.. I was only keeping the humor, to be honest, the Rom works great here, so no release is fine by my, I have no issues. As long as the Hero holds me over until the Evo HD I will be a happy camper. And remember it was AOSP that mentioned he would have a release a few days ago, IMO I think since he is not using the Hero anymore I wouldn't hold my breath, I really believe we got our use from the phone, thanks to AOSP

To all those waiting here diligently with fingers on the F5 key...

You can always sign up for text message alerts for when AOSP releases a new rom. I've gotten one for every single release. All you have to do is go to the wiki main page and enter your cell # in the box to the left. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andythegreenguy:
Yes, you are not the first one and I am sure you won't be the last one... I have been reading such comments for a while, now...

I agree with you about the ROM and I think, developers like AOSP, Sobe, Deca, CM, Darch and many more I don't know and might not have mentioned... have made us stick around with the Hero :).

[Hero CDMA Android Development] atmchuck:
I couldn't agree more with all the positive sentiments here. I believe Sprint owes these developers a debt of gratitude for keeping the hardware platform they sold up and running better than they could have themselves. Seriously, Sprint should seek these devs out and give them stock options or something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Well, it's not like Sprint actually makes the hardware, or software...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Everything is fine with the ROM, actually it's quite amazing, flash away. The reason we are all going crazy is aosp posted yesterday or the day before he would be releasing a new build, so we're all getting our needles ready to shoot up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atmchuck:
I know it's HTC that makes the HW. I thought that Sprint dishes up Sense UI, but I could be wrong. They are the ones in the very least that load all the crapware. Also, in the Sprint/HTC partnership, I thought it was Sprint that was the stick in the mud on allowing updates to the OS to come out. But, again, I could be wrong that one, as well. I do know that I heard it from Sprint that the Hero would never run Froyo. In any event, the devs deserve alot of credit for keeping the three Heroes that my company owns up and running.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Sense is HTC's doing as well, ha.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mk2munky:
As I understand it, Sense is HTC's property. But I guess Sprint releases updates to the Hero firmware, probably only on the network end.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mk2munky:
If also like to add that it's pathetic that Sprint has dropped the Hero, as far as software updates, especially considering what people have done work custom ROMs and kernels and such, as well as the fact that the last time I visited a Sprint store they had the Hero for sale still. My phone is fussy sometimes, but I wouldn't have trade back to stock any day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Yup then that was the problem. Just asking too much out of our little Heros ;) only reason I had a guess is I like troubleshooting and have made that happen.

Help me :(:(

Hello, So I have asops 2.3.3 ginger bread and I'm selling my phone but the person can't fully activate it because you can't type in the # # codes on cm7 and there isn't an update option on cm7 to update the prl. So I figured I would flash a sense rom witch does have the update prl option in settings. But when I try to flash it in clock work recovery is get an error message saying it can't access the file or another one. I have tried multiple roms is there another step to do before flashing to an older rom? The main reason I'm doing it is because the Internet does nonot work. Is there a way to do it in cm7 or can someone give me a link to the stock rom. It's a late 2010 cdma hero on sprint. I'll give the person who helps me 10 bucks threw paypall. Fast response is 15 bucks. Thanks guys
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 808Bill:
Which version of clockwork are you using? You may have to use an earlier version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HEROEVO:
You have to flash Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.7 because that supports edify scripting and Clockwork 3.x does not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
I think you meant that reverse.. 3. Whatever supports edify..

Sent from.. wait.. What????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Send me the phone and the fifteen bucks and I'll take care of everything. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Correct. 2.5.0.7 will flash edify and amend scripting (at least it does for me). If you want to go back to ruu and get the prl and pri updates, use the ruu found in this Hero forum. Give the $15 to aosp.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsonjs:
The LG Optimus is looking better and better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Why? Its last gen hardware and with the smart phone surcharge same monthly fee

Or because aospMod is for that too? Because like 75% of htcs phones have a cm7 build of some sort and even alot of sanding phones have a KANGed version of cm7
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
The grass is always greener on the other side :)

The hero has great dev support and is a swiss army knife, it has something for everything and everyone.

I was watching a video of someone doing a hands on review of the Evo 3D last week and the review got interupted because the camera froze up. No phone is perfect, and when compairing the Hero to other competitors like the LG just isn't worth it. Wait for the dual core monsters before you upgrade, the Hero is a beast and should be good till you can get one of them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsonjs:
Yes, partly because AOSP is actively cooking ROMs for the Optimus and currently the phone is free on Sprint's website if you're eligible for the full upgrade price. Unfortunately, these days you gotta follow the Android development rather than pick your favorite phone. The Optimus is currently the best 3g phone from Sprint and I'm not jumping to 4g for $10 more per month.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Correction -- You're gonna pay a $10 monthly fee just for activating ANY smartphone on Sprint after the Jan 30 cutoff date, so there's no reason NOT to go with a 4G phone, because there's no difference any more in the monthly premium you're gonna pay.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Well either of the evos have a bigger dev base over the optimus so I still don't get your point but to each his own
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsonjs:
That's incorrect. Any 4g phone carries an additional $10 surcharge on top of the Android 3g premium data fee. I'm on SERO premium for $40 with my Hero. If I jumped to an Evo or any other 4g phone my bill would jump to $50/mo.

Did you read my post? I'd pay an extra $10/mo for a 4g phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
Sprint changed it to any smart phone is 10 more..

[Hero CDMA Android Development] y3mita:
Did you see that? Did you check the OP in the last two minutes or so??? hahahaha I think it is coming soon!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsonjs:
C'mon man! The Optimus costs the exact same as the Hero on ANY plan. Only when you jump to a 4g phone do you incur the additonal 4g data fee.

https://www.sprint.com/webconversionform/Separating_EPP_Plan_SERO_Everything_Plus.pdf

Specifically the bottom of the 1st page:

4G Smartphone activations also require an additional $10/line/mo. Premium Data add-on charge in addition to the SERO

Premium plan.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrosno:
I just bought my wife the Optimus S. Paid $50 at the sprint store. Nice phone, but no support here. The newest update makes rooting a PITA. I have been trying for days to get a good root without screwing something up. So far no luck. Otherwise the phone is a nice average phone. And yes, even though it is a 3g phone, we had to pay the extra $10 a month Premium Data Surcharge.

Looking to mod, don't buy this phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
I've got a feeling the next update is going to be a big one. Plus, it hasn't been syncing with the CM7 upgrades anyway.

There's no reason to bash or rush a developer. Time is the key factor in a lot of modifications. Take your time and do it right, you'll have a great product.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
Actually Sprint probably hates it. The more life the developers give us with our Heros, the less likely we are to spend money and buy a new phone.

I would have bought a new phone long before now if not for aosp's roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
This phone is absolutely **** without this rom. I seriously can't run the phone without it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jckeyser:
I wasn't a big Sense hater. Coming from a Blackberry there was a marked improvement over what I'd been using. But aosp feels like the way Android should run. It's not that I couldn't use the phone in its Sense form, its that I couldn't ENJOY it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ehiggins:
I was in the same boat! I used this from the android central forums, starting with part 2

http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...-guide-rooting-software-version-ls670zvd.html

It was a giant pain in the a but I eventually got everything squared away and put AOSPs recovery on the phone and use his optimus v rom with the OV to sprint flash and my wifes phone really flies. Her battery life is remarkably better.

Its a lot of time to get through the whole downgrade and root process, but I feel it was worth it in the end.

edit: just make sure your ovtosprint matches the aosp, I think the last one out there is for 4/3 or 4/5 not the newest virgin mms works fix
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
I'm in the same boat - holding on to my Hero with Sero Premium. The only thing I will use my upgrade for -in the near future, unless a killer 4g phone comes out- is a larger screened, better spec'd 3g phone. The Optimus keeps tempting me, but as others have said it doesn't have the same amount of development going on (and no bigger screen). But, if Sprint decided to give me an Optimus as a warranty replacement I would definitely be happy.

Here's my suggestion if you decide to get am Optimus: get it from eBay - they're going for $120-130 there. There's no sense in using your upgrade for it, only to lock yourself into a 2 year contract. Save it for a much better featured 3g or 4g phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Exactly! But if sprint did do that and give us devs a stock base for 2.1 - 2.3.3 os to work with we could probably whip up something seriously awesome -er than what we have now :D

But even though they wont and probably never will we do the best we can to theme, or script, or develope roms, apps, and or kernels, and more :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
I literally couldn't use it. The phone was unusable. Typing was laggy and it just looked awful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Big trouble

Now I've really done it! I wanted to start over, totally clean, so I RUU, then ran Regaw's Hero Rooter. I went in and totally cleaned off my sd card, and then copied the latest rom and gapps to it. When I boot into recovery, I get the normal beginning, then when I press home, I get a picture of a phone, with a red triangle with a ! through it. What did I do??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Edit: wrong info
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Ya now when I think about it when you ruu'd you lost clockwork as the recovery so in turn you need to redownload it after you root and flash that first. That's why your getting the ! When pressing home. You have no recovery and it errors out. Your fine. Just dl clockwork and flash the recovery in it. You'll be good to go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Thanks, will try again later today when I get off the course. Matt, in your sig, what is "Memory Usage Plus"? You playing with something new?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Ya its like auto killer but I can watch my memory usage with the widget and quick kill background apps. Doesn't interfere with the system kills. Its quite nice actually. Paid app but I see its value just like this rom. In my tests its just on par with auto killer but with an interface instead of it just running in the background. Can determine when there might be memory leaks but that's just watching the memory info.

Now it works.

You can also try to flash the AOSP 9.9.2 then the GB, it also works better if you have Cyanogen mod.

the other thing is that the GAPPS didn't work for me, so I flashed the 1225 or 1218.

Anyway, let me know if it worked.

Good luck...
