I'm still on Hero. I bought it shortly after launch, still have 2 months on my contract. I must be missing something ; not sure how so many people went to the 3D or GS2 15 months into their contract.

Anyway, jaybob's was great but if there was a way to turn off the voicemail notification, I couldn't find it. cm has it right in call settings.

Jaybob's 2.6.35.14 kernel is working great with cm nightly 195.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spleef:
im stuck with the hero until it breaks unfortunately i use cm7 nightlies and data2ext works great for me.i usually update 1-2 times a week when time allows it kind of off topic but everyone jumping on the 3vo was curious why not the photon read the specs seems like other than not having a gimic 3d button its the better phone. any how unless aosp updates or my phone breaks im rocking cm7 until the wheels fall off
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Still here but not updating, battery is flaky on me past build 144. I may try one out in a few weeks, but I'm basically over it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
Ahh nice to see some u guys here I felt alone haha I just got my extended battery as for a performance ROM on jaybob mine tends to lag after a day or 2.maybe I have a lot of apps idk I tried v6 doesn't seem to make any difference imo
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Yeah, still here. Using JB's latest with his .35 kernel. Gets great battery life. I tried the v6 tweaks but they seemed to mess with my battery; as did the latest nightly. Main use is to tether my Asus TF all day at work. With all its limitations, the Hero still pulls its weight.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spleef:
using nightly 194 data2ext v6 script with option 6 on demand 245/748 getting about 12-13 hours of battery life no lag no fc running smooth should try it will post a screen shot after work tomorrow
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
Kk ill try it thanks for letting me know data2ex ? Is that necessary if I use firerat
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spleef:
nope
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpeterson:
Help

Having the hardest time with this one. Wife's phone has been on CM6 forever, and she's asked to upgrade. I've tried the most recent nightly as well as RC1 7.1.0 and tried everything I can think of, but when I go into settings and press "CyanogenMod settings" I get FC. I re-flashed the ROM a time or two, tried different nightlies, tried fixing permissions and even juggling live animals. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
Possibly a bad download or you didn't wipe everything before flashing would be my guesses.

Try those, if neither work then pull a logcat of the FC for me and post it here in a code box, or on a pastebin
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjdalessio:
Build 202 working well so far. I use the latest 2.6.35 kernel from jaybob as well.

Ring unlock is a surprisingly nice usability improvement. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
ring unlock?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
I keep coming back to these nightlies. Phone runs smooth and the battery life is impressive. Using 204 with the .35 kernel and loving the new ring lockscreen, very sweet. Keep up the great work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I lost all the apps in the "my apps" list in the market with 202. And my battery life is bad again. Phone sits in my pocket hot and all I can track down is "Android System" using the battery, nothing wake-locked. I suppose I can plug it in and try a logcat to see what's happening.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
hmm didn't have any of those issues with 202, #204 is out I'm trying it right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
This has been an ongoing problem with my phone since the late 140s and would happen randomly here and there before. I'll probably track it down about when I upgrade.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] spleef:
not sure if it means anything to anyone latest nightlies have been android os 2.3.7
[Hero CDMA Android Development] maxpower47:
I saw this too. It turned out that the market was set to a different account than the main one that all my apps are on. Hitting Menu, Accounts, and selecting the main account fixed it.

I think it may have been a market update that broke it rather than the rom, since it coincided with a new TOS to agree to when I started the market app.

Not sure if that helps you, but that was my experience.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
I know some of you guys are getting bad battery life but this is getting ridiculous for me. I can't even last 7 hours. Thats will my phone in airplane mode for ~3 hours of that time!

Spare parts says my phones spent 52 minutes without sleeping and 39 with the screen on (auto brightness is enabled).

My phone's been on battery for 6hours and 30 minutes. 64% is to display. My TOS is 5%. The "system" details tells me the phone has been kept awake for 1h 46minutes.

I played pandora for 15 minutes this morning. I have ondemand with min at 17 and max at 691mhz. Wifi and Bluetooth were off the entire day.

I'm on 173 and was on 143. Both of those have the same issue barely lasting an 8 hour day. Any luck with the latest nightlies or should I go older than 143? I'm gonna try the .35 kernel too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xfrobex:
I'm on 209, battery life is actually very good. I had issues with builds lower than 196 or so, but my battery life is great now. My phone has been on battery for 6 hours and I'm @ 70% left. That's with a few phone calls, a lot of msging and music playback for @ least 3 hours
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
im on that version also, my battery is freaken back to awesomeness 84% 6 hours and that was with 1 random hard boot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Throw my hat in the "****ty battery life" ring. Was running 207 and it was around 8 hours life. Ran the new Team HeroC rom and it wasn't much better, but it was better. Trying a fresh install of 210 right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Robbie_G:
What ROM do you get good battery life on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
I was getting better battery life on the AM version of the newest Team HeroC ROM from Jaybob. It uses some non-CM7 sources, so it seemed like I got better battery life.

I'm now on a fresh install of Nightly 210 with the latest .35 kernel and right now I'm at 65% after 5 hours.. so, not exactly great. Hope the CM team does some work to improve battery life. I only have the bare minimum apps installed right now...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
As far as battery life is concerned, it can vary from phone to phone and battery to battery. Also, I think, with installation method.

I experienced phenomenal battery life of 36+ hours on earlier versions of this ROM. Instead of doing a clean wipe I would just clear Dalvik and cache and update to the next nightly. After a week or two, my battery life would drop to half of what I was getting before. I just did a clean install where I wiped everything several times (boot, system, data, cache, Dalvik). Battery life has returned to what I was getting before.

I am running on a replacement battery and not original that came with the phone. It's only a couple months old, so that may be part of it as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vidaljs:
There is a leak somewhere cuz I installed this on my spare hero that I use for movies music and games which is on airplane mode.

All other ROMs will hold onto 100% for hours maybe days when unused. But this latest build is draining somewhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Robbie_G:
Have any of you tried BetterBatteryStats to determine where the drain is coming from?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
stable: update-cm-7.1.0-Heroc is released, thought i'd notify some of yall =) im bout to try it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] uf20wop:
running stable now

so far so good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sh0wty:
I cannot get gapps on my phone for the life of me! Ever since CM 7.1.0 was released and any nightly after I have no success.

I have tried the following:

- Downloading all the gapps on this thread (installing through CWM 5.0.2.6 - Downloaded through the Hero forums here)

- Tried pushing vending.apk (Not enough space on device)

I have searched and tried every solution with no result.

Thank you for taking the time to read!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Robbie_G:
1. Are you running Firerat's? If so, I have mine set at a system of 125 and cache of 18 without problems. I'm also using Jaybob's latest kernel KERN-2.6.35.14-22OCT-V1.1 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110418 )

2. Try the gapps linked in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17198299&postcount=1290
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sh0wty:
I actually am running Fire- Rats. I will try this. Thanks Rob! I will keep you updated..

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

I did everything recommended and the market did download (Gmail and other google apps were not installed).

Everything seems to be working but the market seems to be either slow/unable to download apps. (Example: I click an application and it stays stuck on 'starting download')
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
Tryclearing the data and cache for market in appilication settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sh0wty:
I think it is working well guys thanks!

I did the firerats mod as requested by Rob -

Shutdown the phone - and proceeded to work correctly!

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wild1z:
Turned on my ole Hero yesterday. Ran Jango Halloween Music through wifi. This phone is/was (to me) a really great phone. It's amazing the things we have done. Keep it up, good times. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Not only can't I factory wipe, but now my battery is now lasting about 4 hours. There is nothing wake locked, it just sits there on the desk with a good signal and nothing happening, hot to the touch and draining. I've turned off background data, I've frozen just about every app to see if there is any one culprit but there's nothing. Something is keeping it pegged at my maxcpu and stopping it from underclocking. I've tried ondemand, smartass, smartassV2, interactive, it happens on all of them. I'm guessing if I could factory wipe, it might help but I can't get past the setup wizard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
Maybe time to RUU and re-root?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I flashed back to a rooted sense rom again today to see if I could start over but I've done it 3 times before with no luck, maybe something will be different this time. If this doesn't work again, I may try an RUU.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

It worked! Sweet, now I can mess with it until I break it again!

Edit: I can't even double post now either!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Check out the size of that changelog!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
i just saw! have u tried running it? By reading all that, can't really tell what the difference is =P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Not running it, gonna give it a few days to sort out maybe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Just flash 252 and so far running nice
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
the next update looks convincing o_O
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srkmagnus:
With 250 and 252 nightly builds my Data seems to be cut off when signal drops or is lost altogether and won't return when I know for a fact coverage is available. Is Anyone else having this issue?

I have toggled mobile networks and airplane mode to no affect -- a reboot fixes the problem and brings data back. It's not a big problem, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced it and have a better workaround.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
mm yesterday i flashed to kush rom and had that issue, maybe tower issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srkmagnus:
Could be. Now that I think about it the problem is consistent at work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
patiently waiting for the next update, list keeps expanding !!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrtimo:
is development over?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
No, but it has slowed for work on CM9. There were a few updates yesterday, but chances are that the the CM team is waiting for a final feature freeze before putting the build bots to work on building 7.2 Stable releases.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
I read a post that the build not is fixed, but since there are no major changes they'll be waiting till cm9 to build again. If I need to cite my sources I can
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
There are still commits on the changelog, but I don't know where the nightly builds went. They just added T9 to the dialer which I'm looking forward to. However I'm getting a new phone just after Jan 1 so I probably will never see it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xDragod:
Same. Getting an Evo 3D for Christmas. I think I'll miss CM7, but I hope it gets full CM9 support. I love ICS and Trebuchet launcher is amazing, even on the slow Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Well boo! and yea! Makes me feel less guilty for going to the dark side.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDowntown12:
Yeah, I'll be on the e4gt come Christmas. Can't wait.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
Yup it was announced that cyanogenmod was dropping support for any device with less than 256mb ram. Thanks to jaybob and others we are still getting ics though :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
Well with aosp froyo and cm6... aosp was faster but lacked the features of cm. Now aosp has cm settings and cm7 is just pure cm I wonder how different they will run...

Seems like alot of you complain that aosp doesn't release his tree lmao who cares, he created a rom that runs way better than stock and any cm build...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] radrian92:
I don't think that's the issue because the same happens with videos from the browser.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
I was speaking to the YouTube app specifically. Which videos are you referring to, and what app are you using to view them (I've never watched a video directly in my browser).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
Aw, sweet! Thank you!

-----

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] radrian92:
I'm using the stock Browser. Try playing about 5-6 videos consequently and you'll see that it'll stop loading the videos like the YouTube app and the only way to get playback is after a reboot for both.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Same here video issues through YouTube and browser (yahoo sports video) I've gone back to cm6.1 stable and I no issue what so ever kinda weird
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
So I guess it's mediaserver (/system/bin/mediaserver) that's stalling after a while, looks like something with the cache? Anyway, a quick and very dirty temporary workaround without rebooting the phone is, as root:

killall mediaserver

Edit: not to worry, the service will start itself back up automatically.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Is this terminal emulater?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
yes

or you can do it adb style

adb shell

killall mediaserver

edit: someone can even probably make a one click apk that will run that shell script (not me though ;) )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
What exactly does this do does just start all over and does it take awhile to come back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I haven't tried it but killall is a *nix command that just kills the process. It more than likely restarts right away. If you've used a process manager and killed anything important, you see it starts right away again. Either way the mediaserver will probably start when you try to watch a vid again.

Again I haven't tried this, so I don't even know if it works, but killall is immediate and relaunching mediaserver will probably be immediate.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kfunk:
I have updated Dark Horse theme to be compatible with the newest cyanogenMod nightly - cm_heroc_full-5
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
What aiwetir said :)

This "Works for me" (tm) and is pretty heavy handed, but should only interrupt any media you have playing at the time. This is really just an alternative to rebooting your phone :) I don't know if there's an easier way to just restart a portion of mediaserver but I don't think so. The mediaserver service starts immediately again after being killed.

All that being said, there must be some bug in the media framework somewhere which is causing this. I primarily just watch videos through youtube, but I believe any video that uses the mediaserver framework will eventually cause this issue. Unfortunately I have less than 0 coding skills (I can kinda read but can't speak, as the saying goes), so hopefully this will be fixed in CM proper soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
I do hope this video issue (media server) gets fix like I said the newest nightly is fine so far just the video issue but everything else works adw seems little choppy launcher pro changed that gps works though haven't tried navigation
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
A fairly easy interim fix is to install "Gscript Lite", then "Add script" with the contents "killall mediaserver", finally do an add to Home screen (long press), then "Custom shortcut", "Pick your activity", "Gscript Lite", and select the script you just added. This will give you a one button restart from your home screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
How is cm7 nightly running for everybody else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srb7215:
Could you link me to this? Not sure that the one I have is current enough.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Postal Psycho:
Thank you, not pointless
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
a new nightly is up, ill be trying it out soon
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
Don't, it appears to be a broken build. It doesn't link properly to libstdc++.so . It reboots itself to recovery before even getting to the boot screen. MD5sum's matched up on my download and install so it's the build. I did a wipe too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
i dont know what the difference is, maybe you downloaded before me and then they fixed something or vice versa, but its working great for me.
