Yeah, I had to go back to 2/21, I need reliable GPS (and a reliable phone!).

2/21 was damn near perfect! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Yes, but when I turn it back on, 3G is on and battery is much, much, much lower than before, since it hasn't been let to sleep. Didn't have this problem with any previous builds.

Also, when I turn off Wifi from either Settings or the notification widget, 3G automatically turns on, even if Mobile Data is disabled from Settings/notification controls.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cyburke:
i have this exact issue. did not have this on 2/21... skipped the 2/22 build.

hoping that i still have the zip for the 2/21 build, as i think i should flash everything, and go back to it.

pfer batt mod framework-res.apk

thanks to pfer and ranger for this batt mod. they taught me to fish and I caught a nice bass :) I had trouble with the batt mod I cooked up in the uot kitchen so I grabbed the latest pfer mod and pulled the framework-res.apk from /system/framework. I copied the relevant files into the apk (hint: open the apk in 7zip and drag and drop files into appropriate dirs). Then I rebooted into recovery, pushed the framework-res.apk, chmod 777 and wiped cache/dvalik (this is what the uot guys say to do, not sure if it is needed), and rebooted. Voila, pfers sweet circle batt mod up and running. I'm uploading the framework-res.apk to share. Again, this is pfer's work with rangers guidance, not taking any credit for it. Since they've shared so much I figured I'd share this. Don't ask for a flashable zip since I haven't figured that part out yet. If you can use adb and understand some unix commands, use at your own risk. Always nandroid first in case anything goes wrong. This should work for the 2/25 aospCM gb.

As of the 2/25/11 build I have started having Wifi connectivity problems...

No complaining..just reporting

Thanks AOSP for all your hard work flashed a sense rom to update the PRL and because of time was stuck with it for a few days. This rom is so much beter even with the minor gliches it can have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Have got to say thanks to aosp for this rom.....been running it as a daily driver since 1-22 (when the camera was fixed). Just updated my wifes stock 2.1 to it and have not had a single problem what so ever besides the market fix. Running Firerats at 130 4 so have room to grow..:cool:

Thanks again aosp! Will buy you a few more beers when I get paid.....

I also have had crashes with GPS on 2/25 build. Seems to only happen after an extended period of time. Going back to the 2/21 build for now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Schroder08:
Heya. I've been trying several different ways of getting this on, running into walls here and there. One thing I noticed about your file, as opposed to the one I was trying to install, was that mine included several png files yours didn't include - battery_low_battery.png and stat_sys_battery_charge_anim21.png through stat_sys_battery_charge_anim100.png. Also, your stat_sys_battery_charge.xml was smaller than the one that was in the framework-res.apk I'd downloaded from the UOT Kitchen... 28,340 vs 536,890. Since I'm fairly newbish on Android stuff (played with Windows Mobile back in the day), I know there's a lot I've not yet figured out, but I'd hoped that this would be an easy way to get into modifications and the like. I'm sorry I've not yet done as much research on the site as I normally would, but I'm using PDANet for my internet connection. Will be looking into the wireless tethering later today however, see if I can make that a viable option for internet connectivity.

EDIT: The wireless hotspot gave me an error, but USB tethering works great, yay. Just thought I'd mention it since I'd commented about tethering and stuff previously.

Second EDIT: Right, I discovered that now that I'm tethering. Hotspot no go, but USB/Wifi tethering good. Still, I am curious about my actual questions regarding image files and xml size.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
Also went back to 2/21. I was getting very frequent reboots. No amount of changing performance settings seemed to help. I did do the compcache fix shortly after installing 2/25, so perhaps that had something to do with it. Either way, back on 2/21 and things are stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aqualls:
The wiki explains why the wireless hotspot doesn't work. You have to use an app for tethering.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] picklerick:
is it normal for my device to enter fastboot after flashing firerat's 1.5.6 recovery and rebooting recovery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Dunno about the airave.... Didn't know it was even used anymore :P Its not even on the sprint site anymore last time I checked. Do 2.2 roms support it? If I was to guess, I'd say its probably because its not compatible with android 2.3 period.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
When I reboot to recovery after flashing recovery, it takes me right to clockwork recovery. just making sure, right after flashing recovery, you formatted /boot, /system, /data and /cache, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
I normally have to reboot when re-entering my house to get reconnected to my airwave. after that it works great. I don't know what the issue is and why it doesn't auto reconnect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bks0101:
This is how my phone behaves as well - many firerat flashes with all the different ROM's I've played with, never seen the fastboot thing. Process that works for me is format boot/system/data/cache, wipe dalvik, flash FR recovery, repeat formats and wipe, reboot recovery, repeat formats and wipe again, then flash ROM, GAPPS, and FR boot. Hope this helps......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] picklerick:
weird, everything is working fine so far but for some reason after following the wiki it reboots into fastboot. I end up having to pull the battery and then boot back into recovery to continue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
That's really weird. are you using clockwork 3.0.0.5? and are you doing a full wipe? like user data, cache, and dalvik? also, when you boot to recovery, are you going into advanced-reboot recovery? If so, that's crazy and I honestly don't know. I used the instructions on the wiki and have done it about 4 times now and it has never done that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rooster85:
You can get to recovery from fastboot, just sayin
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Freeroot:
Right, by pushing the home key. We're getting at the fact that something is happening and causing it to not go directly to recovery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Remember to format /system /cache and /data only, not the boot after flashing fr_recovery. Dunno if that would cause it but that's my best guess :P

There are 2 sets of instructions on the wiki though, which one did you use?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
first time using my tethering...huge storm outside, internet out..

this is what i used

I also tried formatting boot and not formatting boot, both ended up with rebooting into a white HTC screen with fastboot usb highlighted in red on the top left corner

[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatdudepoops:
correct me if im wrong, but seeming as Im using data2ext(class 6 8g), having it set to 1028, htere is not much need to change the other partitions, if its DATA partition that needs extra space right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Were you plugged into pc via usb at the time?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JWhip804:
Correct (I assume) internal storage is mostly used by apps so if you have everything on sd card, There no reason to up data. I've had nothing but issues with this rom when using firerats. So I turned on external for downloads, bought an 8 gig card, and never looked back.

P.s. This room is using 46m of cache, is that normal?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Are you misreading the df -h? Cache has never been more than 1.1-1.3mb for me..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Try this instead ;) http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_another_ROM

I'm guessing your trying to install Firerats with aospCMod right? Make sure you have the mtdpartmap.txt downloaded in the root of your sd card with the settings inside it set to 130 4 (well, thats the safe setting, leaves plenty of space but others might be able to advise a better setting). Then follow the instructions on ^that^ page and see if it still does it. :D Just follow the firerats steps 3 - 6 after you've set the mtdpartmap.txt to 130 4

I am using clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.1, and I only had success flashing the rom, then the gapps, then booting up the phone.

So, you are going to have to try different ways to get the rom to boot up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Calundle:
Flashing the ROM, gapps, then booting could really get it to work rather than rom, boot, then gapps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yeah as a matter of fact when i first tried all i got was a black screen.Then just messing around I thought hmmm I'll try this:flash cm6 let it boot to home screen then back to recovery. Flash Aospmod v0.1 then boot to home screen then flash Gapps that worked for me. I do know that when i come from a 2.1 rom I have to wipe everythong 3-4 times before I can get it to boot. Just guess that's my phone.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
I like the theme alot. The only thing I dont like is the battery. I was digging the vertical battery layout. Other than that, looks great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Go into your recovery, it's easy in clockwork, and go into partitions menu and format the boot, system, data, and the cache... and then flash everything....

Rom

gapps

Reboot and bam done.... Found this out and works everytime with Gb.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
^ this. The 'wipe' option in the main menu of clockwork (and others?) is misleading. It doesn't wipe all four partitions. You have to do that manually.

Maybe someone good at coding can modify clockwork recovery (since ours hasnt been updated in ages) to either modify the wipe feature or create a simple one click 'full wipe' option.

Still having GPS Issues

I just flashed 2/27 hoping that I could finally get a lock on GPS. I wiped cache and Dalvik Cache before flashing the rom.

I have tried GPS status and has has not changed anything. I get the blinky GPS Icon like it's trying to find my location but it never seems to get a lock.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
fyi to all, the compcache works without any tweaking on this build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rubyknight:
Do a full wipe before installing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I think this is normal, I run no tweaks (firerat,data2ext,a2sd,etc.) and my cache is 48.8mb. The dalvik cache is stored in there on these builds and depending on your phone/apps it's probably somewhere in the 25-35mb range. There's a root app on the market called cachemate and even after I "clear cache" it reads around the 48mb mark, so, probably fine. If you have the space available in there and your phone runs well, push the ignore button, lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Ah, I was just gonna ask about that.

π
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
So for those running firerats, could they be screwing things up by having a 4mb cache partition? Or does it just remap dalvik somewhere else if there's not enough space?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] awesomginger:
I don't know, I am quite curious about that as well....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] systemshock869:
Its been my theory for a while.. I know that installing the game 'ninjump' always failed until I set my cache partition for 30

I can't get data after flashing gapps with the 27 build. I did a clean install (flashing aospcmod & gapps) and could not get data. I tried *228 and it didn't help. I tried again without flashing gapps and didn't have data until I turned off mobile data and turned on/off airplane mode. After that I had data, so I flashed gapps and no data again. I did the afore mentioned steps to no avail. I am with cellular south but I have rarely (like twice in a year) had this problem.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mtran2988:
The transition problem that people were saying they were getting.

Transitions meaning when you pull up a menu, such as the "add object" in Launcher pro or ADW. There would be (on some phones) problems with pulling it up quickly. The fix to it was to shut off transitions, which worked fine because... well if they're not there they cant cause the problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
lol I thought you were saying you hadn't flashed it yet bc you had problems before, now I get it, you were saying you like them now. I agree, window animations got WAY faster/smoother in 02/25 and 02/27, I have mine set to fast in spare parts for both options, all animations on, it's kind of amazing honestly, I never thought this phone would fly like it does.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wwejr4540:
Need a guru's help. The last few versions, I have used the 3 command process posted previously to move /dalvik-cache from /data to /cache. I flashed 2/27 this morning and did not move the /dalvik-cache because I saw post that said dalvik is now in /cache. I just looked at the /dalvik-cache folders in both /data and /cache. In /cache there are a lot of files dated Aug 1, 2008 and a few dated today. In /data all the files are dated prior to today but in February 2011. Can I just delete the files in the /data/dalvik-cache folder? About 40MB in size. TIA.
