[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Lol thanks even though I got in BIG trouble for my modded angry birds that runs almost flawlessly on the hero cdma and I can't even share it anymore....not through pm or through public post on this forum :mad: But it's worth not being able to share so that I can still be here helping and receiving help for and from the community :)

No it has nothing to do with the device name change its just for some reason after flashing this you have to uninstall and install it a few times...make sure you wipe data before you uninstall and then wipe cache after you uninstall ;)

What rom are you using? If it is a 2.1 sense rom then that is because we do not have stagefright enabled, that you can't achieve scores in the 500's and 400's and you're really doing great if you are in the 300's for a sense 2.1 rom because on stock 2.1 sense rom the score is 250 exactly. See when stage fright is enabled on the 2.2 froyo and 2.3 gingerbread rom, when neocore and quadrant are ran when they test the cpu stagefright causes the programs to

completely skip

testing how fast our cpu's decode H.264 video. So with that being completely skipped in 2.2 froyo and 2.3 gingerbread rom's with stagefright enabled you really aren't getting your actual score where as on sense rom's you really are. Now that is the reason why I do not change stagefright to be disabled on the 2.2 and 2.3 rom build.prop's because then it'd scare people away from using my tweak because they'd see a dramatic drop in the scores and they'd think i'm actually harming their hero's when really i'm just letting you see your actual neocore and quadrant score for that rom. But that doesn't mean you'll get the same scores as the 2.1 rom's the 2.2 and 2.3 still get better scores even with stage fright disabled but the drop in scores if i changed stagefright to be disabled like in 2.1 rom's would scare people away from this tweak for the reason i stated about sense then are so used to seeing that score for that particular rom. also having stagefright on is bad for video viewing it makes the quality worse but most dev's leave it on so that the score in those apps are dramatically higher than they should be if you were to let the app

completely test your hero

by disabling stagefright. that is the proven truth all of what i said are

facts

.

I really don't know why you have to uninstall and install and do that process to get it to work but as long as we know the solution to the problem that is all that counts until i'm in the final releases of this tweak and i start fine tuning things.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the boost I have done today was very simple:

Now leaving it at GSM auto (prl) seemed to have quadrupled my speeds and the increase in the speeds really shows when i download things and use the xda app and other apps that connect to the internet via mobile network

Note this will also drain the battery more!

So unless if you don't care about battery life then do this at your own risk.

But there is a remedy to this.

When you are not using any app/you do not plan to use any app that connects to the internet any time soon do this after-wards and you should actually experience just about the same battery life as better or even better depending on how much you're using the mobile network.

Also add a mobile network on/off widget to your ui or go into the wireless & networking settings and disable the mobile network until you plan on using any app that has to connect to the internet via mobile network.

I did this today and my battery life was extended by 3 hours and I got much faster and smoother performance when I was using apps that needed the internet.

I have yet to test to see if changing the GMS auto (prl) value to something different after-wards will give us even more of an mobile network speed boost but I will right now as I have some time on my hands.

Also I must let you all know the network tweak settings I have in the build.prop

ARE NOT THE OPTIMAL SETTINGS!

I know you all are shocked because all of us have experienced a dramatic increase in the speeds of our download or uploads or both in some cases. But the thing is I would've had to do 3528 different test to find the actual optimal settings to get the most out of our mobile network and I just choose about 40 different random settings and picked the best one out of the bunch. There is a 1/1,000,000 chance that the one I picked could be the best out of the other 3528 settings combination's but I really doubt that. So once I get the time on my hands to type out all 3528 different combination's I will need a lot of testers to help me find the best settings out of them all. Here is how it will work (once I get the time to type 3528 different settings combination's):

I'll assign a certain amount of the settings combination's to a person(s) And those person(s) will report the top 3 settings combination's of the of the section of combination's I gave them. The same will go for the other groups. Then once we have the top 3 from each group. I'll split the testers into 2 groups and split the top combination's again and then each group will report back with the top 3 settings from the section of the top combination's I gave each group. Then all the testers will test the top 6 combination's of the network speed tweak settings and we will all vote on which one really is the best network speed tweak settings out of the other 3527 settings!!!!!!

But that is long from now as I don't have the time on my hands to type up 3528 different combinations of settings atm. But that is the plan. I'll let everyone know when I need testers to help out as I do not want to test out 3528 settings alone (imagine all the time that take, especially with flashing over and rebooting.....:(). But I just wanted to let you all know that. Also I'm going to start doing rom specific tweaks later down the line when I have lots of time on my hands but that will be long from now too. I'm glad to see how much my work has progressed and how much the community really likes it :)

EDIT: updated first post so that the instructions read v0.8 and not v0.5/v0.6 lol and updated what i changed/did and i updated the credits :)

Also I know this is a long update post lol
