[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
Ok got one thing settled, appearantly something was wrong with the ROM Manager download i originally had, uninstalled it, went to the market and installed it again. tapped on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and boom, it worked! asked if it was the Hero, and it downloaded and installed fine!

now before anything else, my next step should be starting up in recovery mode in order to do a nandroid backup correct?

please answer the question in the quote...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
It will back up your exact set up of your phone. That way if your flash goes wrong for some reason you can restore the backup you made
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
Just a heads up, I am currently backing up with nandroid, next step is the wipe and then the install of CM 6.1...will keep everyone up to date on it
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
it worked! Running 2.2 on Sprint HTC Hero!

you guys are awesome! Special thanks to skndeep102! u are the man! let me know how to fill up that thanks meter, u deserve it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mictek:
That must be my problem also. I'll try it when I get home since it's my wifes phone.

EDIT: It worked...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
Next question, how do i go about getting the google apps?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps

Which one do I download fro CM 6? MDPI?

If so, how do i go about installing it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
yea no problem, feel free to ask...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
There should be a file called gapps mdpi is what you want you will flash this file just like you did the rom.

If you're just after a 2.2 rom try out aospmod my phone seems much faster on it than on cm6
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
when i select the file, ROM Manager asks if I want to Backup existing rom and wipe Data and Cache? do I leave them blank?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
I guess so I havent used clockwork in forever
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
Yea that was fine appearantly, the google apps are showing up.

In all seriousness, u are awesome and thank you for all the help skndeep102! Happy Holidays to u and ur loved ones and to everyone else reading! Enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
Its really no problem we were all there once. if you like cm you should really try out aospmod

also I prefer launcherpro to the stock launcher
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
seems nice...gonna ride cm 6.1 for a bit see how it goes...will keep this one in mind...

thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
no problem
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
One other thing, if u dont mind...Now at this point if I wanted to try another rom, any other rom, the suggested path to it would be:

-Back things up with Nandroid

-Wipe

-install new rom

Correct?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
Yup that would be it
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
lol thanks again! much appreciated and happy holidays!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunya:
da305kratos can you give us a run down of your exact steps start to finish...seems like you really figured it out yesterday, but tough to follow with all the trys and didnt works in the thread.

Any help would be great...

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
The problem was a bad download of rom manager. The steps should be run z4root and check permanent root. Then download rom manager from the market and use the top tab to flash clockwork mod recovery
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
skndeep102 nailed it, but i'll just go ahead and type a step by step sort of:

-Download z4root here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

-Install and run app, press on Permenant Root

-Let it run until it says it has completed

-Once it has completed you will see the Superuser app in your drawer

-Download Rom Manager from the Market

-Open Rom Manager and press on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery at the top (give it a bit as it has to download it and then install)

I had already downloaded the CM 6.1 rom and had it on the SD card

-So i went ahead and hit reboot to recovery in ROM Manager

-Once it is in recovery, go ahead and scroll down to Nandroid and do a backup

-once you do a back up press back and reboot

-Once it starts up again head over to ROM Manager and select Install ROM from SD Card

-Look for the Rom, select it, and it asks you to Wipe Device and Cache, select both

-It reboots to recovery, select you rom and install

I hope i didnt miss a step, but thats pretty much it if i remember it correctly (spent much more time reading than actually doing, lol)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunya:
thanks to both of you. that was an awesome step by step...ill try it tonite and get back on here asap.

how is CM6.1?

i was thinking of going with the decluttered stock rom, but reviews of that CM 6.1 are pretty awesome.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
i'm loving it so far, especially the move to SD feature...runs nice and smooth, no glitches that i've seen...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
this is good but you dont have to use rom manager to flash the new rom. you can do it from recovery there is a wipe option and you will wipe everything then there is a flash file from sd and you can manually select it rather than booting back up just to go to rom manager
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
yea you're right!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunya:
fellas, the permenant root worked great...had superuser access after reboot, but rom manager keeps telling me there is an error when it tried to flash clockworkmod recovery.

I am trying to reroot and redownload right now to see if that fixes anything, but so far no luck!

**and i lost all my icons as well on my home screens?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Stunya,

If you have root access now, I'd suggest finding amonRAs recovery for hero (make sure it is the version for cdma hero - amonRA recovery heroc.img). Get terminal emulator by J Palevich from the market. put recovery on root of your sd card.

Open terminal emulator, type "su" , hit enter. should return a "#" sign without quotes. if so, then type;

flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img (then hit enter)

you wont type evo, obviously, you'll type exactly what the RA file is called for hero.

the only thing i can't clarify for you is if the root process you used added flash_image to your phone. if not, this wont work for you. youll have to grab the flash_image file for hero off xda, and and use terminal app to install that first. I forget the commands for that. Hopefully someone more sage than I can chime in on that.

OR, you can re-download ROMmanager. Sounds like that fixed things for both the others in this thread. I really like amons recoveries better, is the reason I suggested the above rather than ROMmanager route. Hope any of this helped
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunya:
i did a bunch of reroots and redownloaded rom manager and eventually made it all work. looks like the stock file saved ok after a few attempts...so hopefully im good to go!!

currently running CM 6.1 and the only thing i miss so far is that HTC calendar...otherwise this rom is awesome.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
glad to hear it worked! yea same happened to me with my brother Hero...had to root twice and download Rom Manager twice...but by far the easiest way to get CM6.1 i think...

I did the z4root but it has been stuck on rebooting for like 15 minutes. Is that supposed to happen?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayidreddy:
K i got the root to work ( i think, it says you are are now rooted), but to put the cm6 mod on the sd card, can you just transfer it through the usb cable and then use rom manager to install it. Thanks.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
@sayireddy - were u able to get it working? Did you follow the steps from the first post in order to root and set up CM 6.1 on ur Hero? Also, to install gapps, it works in the same way as installing CM 6.1...

In regards to the wireless tethering, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app...Also, make sure ur data is working to begin with by using the browser...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayidreddy:
yes, I go it to cm6 to works. Thanks a lot. I just followed the steps and i got it after a couple of tries. The wireless tethering is working now too, I just had to set it up on my laptop first. Just to make sure, this wireless tethering wont have an additional charge like an evo would right? its just part of the unlimited data I have now right? If it is , that would be awesome? Thanks a lot XDA is awesome!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
Just dont abuse the wireless tethering since originally you would have to get a phone that has the capability out of the box and the wireless tethering plan for $30...

Enjoy your *new* phone....

Mine did this too, I kind of freaked out, hit home, and it took forever to load up the home screen. When it finally did load it up the phone is really slow now, I'm trying to uninstall some apps since the phone is out of space, hoping that's why its going so slow, it's usually the problem.

Did yours ever get past the rebooting part?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
Just to be clear, you are at the part of permanent rooting of the device correct?

if you are then yea, that is normal when first rooting. What I did was check that superuser was there and opened Rom Manager to make sure it was rooted (it wont ask you to root your phoen to use)...Restart the phone and the lagginess goes away and you should be rooted :)

At this point you can flash ClockworkMod Recovery and go about your business of doing a nand backup and flashing roms, etc...

feel free to ask if u have any doubts

Just wanted to let everybody know that after searching High and Low for root for this version, this process worked flawlessly!

-went to the link posted by OP to download Z4root from my phone browser.

-downloaded Easy Installer from App store

- launched Easy Installer and installed Z4root

- Selected Permanent Root

-Phone froze at "rebooting" so I powered the phone down and turned it back on.

-Now have SuperUser and WIFI tether.

Awesome!

Root hero 2.32.651.2

I have a Sprint HTC Hero with the build 2.32.651.2 also. I am interested in rooting this phone. I have seen several videos on youtube but all of them seem to have different build numbers and I wasn't sure which to use if any. I also have seen on here instructions but not on my build. This thread has my build but I need instructions from the beginning. Thanks for any help you can give me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
As of last week, the process I did was still working...I would suggest giving it a try as its been the simplest way of going about it...if you only want root access, z4root can give you that...Everything else is on my first post...

Feel free to keep posting questions, either myself or others will help...

Use the Temp Root Option if you have S-On, the Use RomManager to Flash the Unrevoked.zip. If you have S-Off then use the Permanent Root Option! Sometimes it gets Frozen, just Pull the Battery and Keep Trying.... Honestly it DOES WORK!!

Hi all,

I would find a way to enable bluetooth automatically when a call is being received: in that way, when in my car, I can avoid to keep BT enabled "all the time" just waiting for a possible call of few minutes..... thus saving battery ;-)

Is there any application suited for that?

I was thinking to a workaround but it seems pretty tricky and I still miss a thing.

We could use G-Profile and configure a profile, with BT enabled, which starts automatically on these conditions satisfied:

a.. during a call

b.. when a “specific program/process” is running

Item (b) is needed in order to let the profile be enabled only when actually in car and not when I’m at home or so

Of course, I have to start that “specific program/process” when entering car and shutting it down when exiting.

What I miss is a program to be used for that purpose. I would use a “fake” program which simply does nothing (!!), let’s say a simple toggle-program:

- Click on program icon: starts the program

- Click again on program icon: stop the program

Is there such a “useless” program ? Could some of you write it (if interested in that) ? I’m not so able to write it :(

Thanks in advance for your support.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brusko1972:
I also use G-Profile. I have created a profile that kills the incalllock when mycarprofile is running. incalllock locks the virtual keys on my HD so that I can only take the call with the slide to answer. mycarprofile automatically answers the incoming call and turns on the speaker phone. I use G-Profile to kill incalllock whenever I turn on mycarprofile and runs incalllock again when i trun off mycarprofile.

What you have to do with G-Profile is to create a profile that monitors if a program is running and also add the condition "during a call" to switch to that profile and turns on bluetooth
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ahsiang888:
brusko1972, G-Profile is not free.

Any free apps out there for this kind of function?

- start when ringing or dialing a call

- turn on BT at call start

- turn off BT at call end

I have started the service.

When the call is being received the screen is locked by CSDEVCTRL but BT is not enabled at all.

Maybe I miss someting or it does not support windows mobile 6.5 (I have an HTC HD mini).

Not working on HTC hd2 wm 6.5

I downloaded this with high expectations that it would automatically turn my bluetooth off and on. I, too, am frustrated when I forget to turn bt off upon leaving my car. I set the program to run in the background, but the profiler does not work. I've tried all the conditions for turning bluetooth on or off automatically. Too bad, I was really hoping this would work.

Hi all,

And... fisrt of all, happy new year !

In reply to this thread, I've downloaded BTtoggle (which enables and disables BT just by tapping on the screen) and I was just thinking this morning that someone could have maybe written a program (a mortscript ?) which could be quicker than running this program when needed.

I've tested to put BT off and run the progam (BTtoggle) when the phone is ringing then switch on the BT earphone and... call is missed !

I was thinking in a program that could "see" that a BT "thing" (ear, dongle...) (I don't know how to name it) is running, running BTtoggle (which switches ON BT) and when this "thing" is switched off, running BTtoggle once again (which switches OFF BT).

The problem is like brontolo999, I know which are the questions to ask but unable to write the program that could be able to do that !

Thks in advance.

Anyone tried this one?

Hi, this Rom looks good, has anyone tried this one yet?

How is it compared to other Roms?

edit: Still testing this ROM, just flashed it...

This ROM is WWE, don't be scared of the fancy "们的" characters.

It's simply the regional settings that are changed to Chinese :)

You can even change manilla language to your native language with BSB Tweak (menu - manilla language).

The needed files are cooked in.

but: don't change to CHS or CHT with the program in the first post. That WILL change everything on the pda to CHineseStandard or CHineseTraditional.

Bad things: I can find for now: no twitter :( Hardware Keyboard isn't working correctly (FN isn't correct for all keys), could be fixed with keyboard config.

Much chinese stuff cooked in that isn't possible to change (more than i tought).

Keyboard isn't working as it should, also the softkeyboard (touch input) isn't working as it should (doesn't show up)

Overall: It's extremely fast, maybe some new chinese drivers are build in or something :o

BUT to fancy for an WWE user in my opinion, to much chinese stuff is cooked in...
