For some reason when I flash RC2 from both RA 1.6.2 recovery or any ClockworkMod recovery my phone doesn't boot-- I get stuck at the HTC logo and it never goes away. I can tell it isn't going to boot because normally when it is booting you can hear the windows device manager detecting a new device within a few seconds of the phone turning on, and then disconnecting a second or two later. I've gone through and formatted /boot /cache /data, wiped dalvik cache, did "cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/xxx" for boot, system, cache and data and nothing gets me past the HTC logo.

I then took the boot image from CM6.1 and flashed that into boot and while it doesn't get me past the HTC logo, at least I can adb in and poke around. I then pulled the boot image (only boot.img) from aospCMOD and flashed that and the system boots up into CM7 RC2 but obviously there are problems with that because the kernel module versions don't match up.

Does anyone have any idea why the boot.img from CM7 RC2 fails to boot at all? I can't logcat or adb in to check the dmesg because it stops before the device exposes itself to be connected to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Probably because the kernel in CM7 boots at 768 while aosp's build (3/10 only) finally boots at 691. I think this is somewhere in Decad3nce's to-do list to fix, if he hasn't done so already in source.

Having the boot image from aosp's build shouldn't break much as long as you grab the wifi module too. Only thing that should break is compcache, and you can fix that by renaming the modules folder.

I'll post up a 691 CM-kernel in a little while if I get the chance.

CM7 Kernel Update

Try flashing the kernel update attached. This should update the kernel and modules to support devices that have difficulty booting at higher speeds.

Just flash from recovery, and it will update the kernel in the boot image as well as the kernel modules.

Flashed this and new radio...

So last night I decided to run this, went through and did the following:

1- Installed Amon_RA- got it working, did nandroid backup

2- factory wipe

3- installed new radio- 2.42.02.10.29, my previous radio was a 1.5?XXX

4- flashed CM7

5- Flashed gapps

phone was quick about all of that, and when i tried to sign in to sync my account, I had no data connection. Data was selected in the connections menu, so I just went to wifi to get my contacts back. Contact book synced up, but market would not dl anything, browser did not connect to any websites, and eventually, market wouldnt even open at all.

I ran fix permissions, and even tried a reflash, but still no data connection. My phone seems to actually work, and i can send/receive messages, but no data.

Is there anything else i can try to fix this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CapnBry:
I appreciate your suggestion but this kernel now bootloops at the HTC logo about 6 seconds into device boot up. I also tried copying the modules to system and splitting the boot image manually and rebuilding it with your zImage just to make sure the update process wasn't having any hidden problems. It seems to rebuild the boot partition properly, however the kernel still just won't boot.

I'll try what jasonmaloney suggested (because the wifi.ko not loading was really the only issue I had) and go from there.

EDIT: Yowwwp, it worked just fine with using the aospCMod boot image and /system/lib/modules/* thanks a bunch guys I'm on CM7 RC2.

I love this ROM so far, BUT I use switchpro which allows me to turn off 3g which saves my battery a ton. But with this ROM it doesn't allow me to turn it off any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Los Altos:
The power widget pulldown allows you to toggle 2g/3g or mobile data, if that helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
Dig into the settings? Cm has allowed 3g toggle since 6.0 at least.

I don't think the 3g/2g toggle works on our phones. I just checked and the power widget settings has the 3g/2g toggle darkened as a non-selectable item. It would be nice if this did work since I get shoddy coverage at work and that's the source of my battery being drained.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
if you mean turn off data, then los altos was correct, the toggle is called "mobiledata", if you mean JUST 3g, skrmagnus was correct, it's not yet able to switch 2g/3g

yup, but you can turn off data, see above.

Not sure what gives, but as soon as I install the Google Apps, my phone gets stuck at the white HTC screen. If I don't install the apps as part of the process the phone boots fine. Is there something wrong with the gapps download? I tried both sources.

EDIT!: Never mind. I got it to work after my third try installing from scratch.

From my experiences, Gingerbread has made it so the apps for 3g/data switching don't work. I installed power widget and it takes me to a menu where I have to hit off "Data Enabled". So I guess thats as close as we can come to a switch, but with this ROM I don't mind having data on, my battery doesn't die as fast

Unless I'm misreading things (haven't had coffee in a week... gah!), why not just use the data toggle in the notification bar? :confused:

Rebooting 4 or 5 times a day

Maybe I'm the only one, but my RC2 is crashing 4 or 5 times a day. I've reflashed, but it is still happening. I'll have to check and see if there are any nightly updates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teedo757:
Is there any performance increase from froyo to gingerbread? I am on the fence whether or not to wipe install it. Not looking for a 20 thread discussion please, looked around and it looks like there are some minor tweaks if I upgrade but did not see much about performance. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] srb7215:
It seems a lot better to me. I left froyo and went back to Sense because I was getting too much lag. Gingerbread is faster than Sense was. Of course this is what I have experienced but take that with a grain of salt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwhistler:
I flashed this ROM about 5 days ago. There are definite improvements in some of the small details such as: built in Overcocking (no longer needs SetCPU), nice keyboard enhancements like highlighting. Lots of other small tweaks that make for a nice experience.

Downsides, for me: seems a bit laggy. scrolling screens seem "sticky." Notification bar icons have been made smaller (my old eyes can't deal with the ever-decreasing font sizes.)

Given that the overall transition went smoothly, and I've been running for 5 days without problem and everything works, I'm impressed by the hard work that's gone in to this.

Still, I'm not sure that I won't go back to CM6.1. CM7 stable, when it comes out, will hopefully iron out the small nuances.

I was curious about it, so I flashed it. Not disappointed, but not thinking this is a huge leap forward...not yet, anyway!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jorges74:
I *LOVE* this ROM and upgrade. I've felt lots of gains in performance over 6.1. This RC is more than capable as a daily driver, and I look forward to the finished product. I like the aesthetic tweaks and the performance gains.

Small bugs:

For some reason the built in email will not refresh. If I reboot the phone, it will refresh for a couple of hours and then stops. I've switched to K-9 and it works flawlessly, so I haven't been too worried.

Gmail will not refresh automatically. If I refresh manually, it works... not a huge deal for me.

Other than that, I have not noticed anything that I would consider faulty. Running CM 6 my Hero would freeze and reboot automatically every couple of days or so... has not happened since I flashed this one. Very happy so far!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teedo757:
Thanks for the responses. I am download now..... :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
I've noticed after a flash of CM7 and Gapps, that G-Mail isn't checked to sync under Settings > Accounts & Sync > Gmail addy > "Sync Gmail". If I check that, I get gmail notifications when new mail comes in... something to check anyway!

Ok.yea I know I can flash and find out but just incase someone feels like being nice. Can anyone tell me if this rom ever receives a black screen during phone calls or after you wake the phone up or ever. And hows the overall performance of the rom in general??? Thanks

Yea its me again with the

Never receive black screen and performance is solid. Hasn't acted up on me yet and I have been using the ROM for over a week.

Try a different voicemail approach. Google Voice works wonders.

A change in CM7 has prevented the application to retrieve the data somehow.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Andy_in_Indy:
Flashed this yesterday, and have two items that I am looking for a work around:

Widget for the Facebook app does not show on the list of available widgets. I tried downloading a calendar widget and it does not show either, but Fancy Widgets shows as available.

Fancy widget will display correctly until I reboot. Then it will be replaced with a message that says it could not be displayed correctly. I can then remove the old entry, and add the Fancy Widget back into the same place, and it will work until rebooting. Lather, rinse, repeat
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jlengvarsky:
the issue with the widget might be it is getting saved to SD as widgets do not play well with a2sd in gb. try moving it back to phone in the applications settings. should fix this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] valdesr11:
I agree. This had happened to me before therefor it is probably what your experiencing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PTown599:
I've been using FWP, 1.0.7 now I believe, and it works fine for me from SD. I use darktremor though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Andy_in_Indy:
Many Thanks! Moving them back to the phone was what it needed. That fixed the stand alone widgets. Fancy Widgets worked fine from the SD card on Vanilla CM6, so this caught me off guard.

Due to space restrictions, I'll leave Facebook on the SD card. It will probably help my battery life to ditch that widget, anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
Whenever I flash this, no matter what -- my phone won't handle any CM's. No matter what. I use a kernel that caps at 691 and CM just doesn't run, EVER. SOMETIMES when it'll actually go through the whole boot, it'll lag terribly.

I'd love a fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PTown599:
Have you thought about darktremor to free up space? I sit at about 115 free and everything works fine.

The battery life is still a little dull though, does anyone have any suggestions for better battery life?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fowenati:
Look for Kifno's tweak in the Forum (it should be at either 1.0 or 1.1 right now.) It will do wonders for battery, network speeds, and performance! I used it when CM6 was getting slow and it boosted everything. The Dev is very active and updates very frequently you can ask him any questions about it.

Also in the preformance settings for CM7 try enabling (or disabling) JIT and tweaking other things. Or maybe try a different Kernel all together
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Read the wiki in the aosp/cm7 thread under "read me" in the 1st post. Everyone had this issue. Make sure you have updated VVM (PRL and PRI) by flashing a sense rom. Titanium Backup to the rescue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Have you calibrated you'd battery? Flashing Tom's eats the battery and you need a couple few days with full charges and depletions to see what you really have. I think Gabe has great battery life. I used to run cm6.2 redglass until Feb. You also should look at what is calling home in the background and how often.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 808Bill:
Setting the governor to interactive should improve your battery life.
