All of that can be addressed with Titanium backup, minus your custom transparent stuff, which I assume is a theme. Titanium backup can back up app data, meaning it saves settings and account login information. It also backs up your launcher's homescreen settings and icon arrangements. The only thing it cannot restore is widgets, because Android does not currently allow that. Titanium Backup is free by the way.

Don't use Mybackup Root (Free version). I tried it. It restored all my apps+data in one click (batch restore), but over half of the restored apps force-closed upon opening and had to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Thankfully I had Titanium Backup to handle that. Mybackup Root Free sounds really nice in theory, but IMO it's just too early in development to be the only tool you rely on.

having data issues while roaming

since#18 have had no data while roaming ...any sugestions
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
I think I spoke to soon #19 seems slower now went back to#17
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twcrosno:
I am running #19, but it doesn't seem to be as bad as everyone is saying. I do notice a difference from #18, but nothing significant.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Benduchi:
I too noticed after a bit it slowed but I went in and set cpu governer to performance and its good I'll report any changes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zwizzle:
Just FYI the performance governor keeps your CPU at the maximum speed at all times so it could be a major battery drain.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fowenati:
Just to confirm, everything is working with this right? Camera, data, mic, etc
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
Yes, those three things are working.

I've always run performance governor and get 18+ hours on my phone. I have never had my phone's battery die in a days use with GB

Much better than when I was running Sprint Sense, only 8 hrs max.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srb7215:
Found an interesting issue. I flashed this #19 a earlier in the week and noticed that my available space was back to the normal amount before I started using Firerats. Ran the steps through and flashed the Liquids new Sense 2.1 with no problems. Decided to go back to CM7 #19 last night and same issue with Firerats. I haven't had this problem with CM7 before this. Only thing i could think is i finally update my recovery to clockwork over the weekend.

any thoughts on this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Make sure that every time you flash a new recovery, you flash fr-recovery afterward. Likewise, make sure that every time you flash a new ROM, you flash fr-boot.

I have an issue I think lol anyways I had my router die today (Belkin N) and had to get a new one (Netgear WNDR3700v2) and now I cant connect to the wifi and I really need it im using the airrave and it wont work without wifi can someone let me know if this is a CM7 wifi issue that Maybe they just need to add the netgear to a list or something? thanks

Im running CM7 #19 with VVM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
You might want to read the specs on that sprint airwave. If your plugging your netgear router to the sprint airwave and the airwave to the modem your cheating yourself out of you speed. And fyi you have to configure you router correctly. I have a Netgear Wndr3500 and I had the airwave before I sold it. Had it working but didn't notice a increase in singal strength. But I had to reconfigure my router to allow sprint airwave to connect. IMO don't plug your router into your airwave. Plug your router into your modem then configure it. Then plug your airwave into your router then hook up the gps antenna and put it face down on top of something by a window. Good luck.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] zwizzle:
Wow that is pretty impressive. I'm at 15% after about 14 hours on battery today. Quite a few calls though so not too bad.

Well I'm no authority on battery saving or anything, but I understand the governor just controls the protocol for ramping up and slowing down the CPU. I generally use the INTERACTIVE or ONDEMAND governors--I really can't notice any significant battery drain or performance difference between the two.

Some people recommend SMARTASS, but for me it seems to make the lockscreen lag a bit. I read that it keeps the speed all the way down when the phone sleeps so I'd guess that's why.

EDIT: Everything I know about governors, I found here :)

Yeah its connected to the netgear and its working all lights are yellow but on my phone signal is horrible since I installed #19 cause wifi wont connect prior to that it was fine as long as phone was on wifi ill try going back to #18 to see if there is a difference

also since you know alittle about the airrave when im on my account in sprint.com theres long range settings in there for airrave should I use that ?

both 20 and 21 are out, lol !!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EL_G15:
#21 seems to be laggy compare to #17,#18 and #19 previous seems to be running smooth.

Anyone experiencing same issue?

Also when i initially try to setup my widgets i got in to my menu widgets but i couldn't scroll to select the widget.

So i rebooted my phone and did work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dlgltal:
#21 is working perfectly for me, also dbl tap F/C on camera is fixed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srb7215:
Only thing different that I notice is that i can't change the CPU frequency. When I select either Min or Max there is nothing to select.

I get a little lag scrolling between pages that I don't remember being there but i also usually had my CPU running a bit higher than what the min is set at.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EL_G15:
I got the same issue but with SPC i couldn't select the Notification to go silence the radio option will not show i, i will select and nothing will happen so i then i press cancel and try to go back in and it was already silence.

I always run my CPU Interactive Min 176Mhz and Max 768Mhz. and yes #21 is lagging - cause ill have the same Settings on #17, #18, #19 and my phone was faster - will see what happens on #22

Looks like the GPS commit in frameworks this morning (post Nightly-3, so tomorrow's) fixed the GPS, without having to mess around with GPS libraries or use AOSPCMod. Trying it out with Tracks on the ride home.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] js4box:
So just to clear things up. The difference between these Cm7 releases and Asops cm7 is darch is releasing them? Or is there another major difference?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Indeed! It's quite fast been running a lot longer.

I wonder if cm7 had jagged edges, you know not perfect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Gps has been working since 2-18 on aosp, not so much here with cm7.

I'll be sure to download and pick it apart here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
This should be where anyone using the official CM7 can discuss the releases, and get support. The other thread is for wuteva aosp wants to continue doing ...

I assume Decad3nce and Darchstar will be supporting this thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
Public access to source code, peer-reviewed commits, and builds being put out by the cyanogenmod team (not to mention better mirrors :D). So, quite a bit of difference.

Edit: no disservice to AOSP, he got a build out I believe before anything else was available. The difference is that I don't remember him contributing those changes back to the project (unless I'm not following the right people in github)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
But aospCM is made of those peer-reviewed commits...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
No matter - CM7 nightlies has an org designed to support you ... gogogo
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
Well now that Darchstar and Decad3nce have figured it out for you - you have an official CM7. So whats the problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
That neither of them did?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercrapper:
Is anybody having trouble enabling compcache? Cm settings says its on, but when I run "free" from terminal emulator, it says swap is 0.

I think I'm also having the same problem with JIT, but I don't really know how to text if bit is enabled.

This started after the 0216 build of aosp's gb rom.

I went back and tested the 0210 and 0216 builds and those work. I was hoping the official cm7 build would have it fixed, but no luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EL_G15:
Alright... i just made a lilttle modification and its fast again.

Changed Min to 264Mhz and Max 768Mhz turn on JIT

now is smooth.....

its weird.... because on Nightly # 12- #14 i was using above settings

and when i started using #17-#19 was lagging so i switch it to Min 176Mhz and Max 768Mhz with JIT off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quique18:
Im on #19, anybody notice the reception going down? I used to have 4 bars at home now I only have 1 or 2 antenna bars. I tried updating the prl but that didn't help.

Does anyone know until when they will start building nightly versions?

The reason i ask is im always curious and update to the new nightly i was setting my phone for daily use but then ill jump to the next one... and the next one... cause i love to see whats got better.... but #22 seems pretty stable and fast. so i can either wait or keep updating. :)

Just wondering.... Im new to Cyanogenmod so i don't know how far CM6.1 got into nightly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Nightlies are automated so they keep building, even after they release the final. I know that nightlies were still being built after 6.1 final came out, for example. They only stop nightlies when they move on to another branch, like moving from 6.1 to 7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d12d:

Does anyone have an idea how we can get flash to work on cm7. I know its possible because I have Sensefroyo rom and flash works great on it. So does flash have any dependencies. I want the best of both worlds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] borrowedchief:
I think Flash needs Sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmccoy813:
I also have that inclining.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
"Flash" needs a whole different processor and won't work on the heroc. "Flash lite" works with sense with it's inherent limited functionality.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
That is Flash Lite, and yes, only works with Sense roms. Regular Flash doesn't work with our processors.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmccoy813:
Ok! How does flash lite differ from "" 10.1""
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmccoy813:
The reason I asked because as far as my usage went I am able to play web based videos and play web based flash game also an app dependant on flash works great. The game actually calls for 10.1, so I was just wondering.

#23 is swell

pop up animations finally fixed

used latest speed boost in CM settings, and this thing really cooks. Sems to be the fastest I've ever seen this Hero fly.

I didn't really think that my phone could get any faster than it was with AOSP 03-08, but...

lemme run it for a bit and see how she holds up

**Update** So after some real world use, the phone has settled in and is running a little slower now. Maybe still slightly faster than the previous ROM, but not as fast as it was initially. Not that I'm complaining mind you. Still pretty sweet performance for our outdated device

Thanks dudicals!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
What speed boost where in settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kurigowa:
CM,Performance, allow purging of assets...

Not speed boost, but should help with our low mem device. Not sure if that change has anything to do with the improvement I'm seeing, but either way, I'm pretty impressed with this latest release

Thanks to all the devs out there for all the hard work!!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] steve19137:
so, i flashed #23 this morning, eagerly looking forward to the bitmap performance thing. i use launcherpro for my home app, and since #21 (i didnt run #20 btw), it has been force closing like crazy. i installed zeam this morning so i could actually have a home launcher, but i would really love to go back to launcherpro (for the widgets). i had my CPU stats up at 768, interactive gov, and i even reset them thinking it would help things. no. it didnt. what can i do? EDIT: other apps rarely force close.

also, i experience quirky battery life. yes, i calibrated on monday. and even after only 8 hours of moderate-heavy use, its dead. with cm6, i would get 10 hours. but i suspect this is simply a result of it being a still unstable rom. if there are other tips, id like to hear them. i turn off my data during the bulk of my day because im in school.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kurigowa:
I use Launcher Pro too, it is the smoothest launcher for my setup (I've tried em all). Lock Home in memory under CM7 Performance settings, set LPP memory usage to Light (still maintains screen cache) and also try running autokiller memory optimizer at moderate settings.

If I were you, I'd lower my max cpu speed. 768 runs fine and benchmarks well (same ballpark as 691 and 729) for me, but I found in the long run the slightly lower speed resulted in less hang ups, FC's etc. It's subtle, but a noticeable difference. In addition to real world use, I use CPU Benchmark to see how different speeds affect the performance of the phone. Seems for me, 729 is my magic number.

CM7 Performance Settings: turn off JIT, disable compcache (laggy in the long run), Check allow purging of assets, lock home in memory

I jumped into the pool with CM7 RC2 and haven't had a single glitch. Since then, I've been staggering nightlies going from RC2 to #18, then #22 and am about to load #26.

Not a single problem. No FC's. No camera, bluetooth, GPS or any discernible problem.

Only thing I've notices is some fast battery drains (which I really can't get a handle on) and a feeling of "sticky" scrolling between screens.
