What are most using for MTD partition sizes on this ROM? I have strolled back many pages and not found anything.

I flashed it and my df -h shows a 33Mb cache. Way higher than I expected (1.2Mb on ASOP's gb). I setup "mtd 100 50" and wiped/formatted all cache, still shows 30.5M cache used.

Does this sound right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
If I'm not mistaken, cache finds another place to reside if you change it to something lower than it needs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
I agree, but I would prefer to give it what it needs and keep it where it belongs. :-) I was just surprised at the size of it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Why reinvent the wheel? Cache sizes of 2 and 4 are working for nearly everyone else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
If you give the firmware room to use in cache, it will use it. Otherwise it will use space in data. It's pretty smart about the way it goes about it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I use mtd 100 4

It results in roughly 355 MB of /data/ and I haven't had a single problem with it other than applying s0be fix for Market downloads once, and it seems to stick after reboots and flashing new nightlies as long as you don't wipe /data/.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
Thanks for the feedback guys! I will drop cache down after I get everything setup and ready for a nandroid.

Runs great!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
I apologize for the double post for those that read AsopCMod thread also, but I am hoping to get some feedback on the following issue I am having on both CM7 and AsopCMod.

What can cause your data connection to go south on GB ROM (ASOPCMod and CM7 7.0.0) but still works fine on Stock ROM?

I went back to stock to get all my updates hoping to resolve this issue. Ran the stock ROM for all of Saturday and had flawless data coverage. Flashed CM7 RC4 last night and ran it all day today. Now I am back to having the same issues I saw Friday with AsopCMod. Lots of time on 1x and many times with no data coverage. Not just the icons missing at the top of the screen, but apps not being able to connect. This is in places I know I have coverage (like my home) and if I nandroid back to stock it is back.

I don't see how this can be happening, I have been running AsopCMod steady since January without this issue. How can it start happening? And persist through reflashing EVERYTHING and persist across to CM7, but not to stock?

I have latest radio, PRI and PRL. National and international data roaming enabled. I can't handle going back to stock and there's not a new phone that I want right now so I am keeping my upgrade for summer. I thought I had the cat by the tail with GB running so well until this past week.

HELP!!! I'm all ears.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] glen4cindy:
Me and a friend who are both running this on our Hero's are using 120 32 and it's working very well.

Would something else be better?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swdude12:
I flashed gapps again and it took care of the problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cswiii:
Well, a few days later, the black screen has come back despite disabling hardware acceleration, so this solution doesn't appear to have completely resolved the issue.

It still feels to me more like a slow memory leak than an rendering issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twcrosno:
Has anyone had issues getting the browser to open? I just wiped everything then loaded CM7, everything seems to work fine but the browser, I am getting fc. Any help would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
Am having major problems. I did a fresh install of CM7. Wiped everything, followed all directions. CM7 boots up and can't connect to the mobile data network. I turned on/off/on 3G, the symbol shows up but it never connects. The browser won't pull up any pages either. The phone can make and receive calls fine. I can't figure this out. Any suggestions?

PLEASE HELPP!!!

I nandroided back to my old CM 6.2 rom and the data still doesn't work! Please tell me what to do to fix this!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
Do you have any data? Sometimes? Have you made ANY changes or tweaks after you flashed? Change any default settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
this may be a bumb question, but is data enabled in settings/wireless&network/mobile network ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I had that problem flashing nightly #39 it would boot up fine but wouldn't connect to the data,just nandroided back to cm7 final.

EDIT: I flashed back to a sense rom the nandroid then back to cm 7 final

(sorry don't know why I quoted you should've done the post above you,s**t happens when your tired.lol)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
Yes i definitely have data enabled. I have no data at all, not even a little bit. I can connect over wifi fine. But no web pages, no apps can access the mobile data. I made no other flashes/tweaks at all. the 3G symbol flashes and the bars work, but nothing. Please helP!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
I did a full wipe and fresh install of CM7 again, still no data.

I did a full wipe and fresh install of CM6.2, still no data.

I even nandroided back to a nandroid from February using CM6.1 and still no data.

Any help please?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Flash a Sprint Sense ROM (mine or Nfinite's will do just fine) and update PRL/Profile. Ensure Data is working there first before worrying.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
Bingo! I found my old OEM Hero root nandroid and went back to HTC sense 2.1. Data is working there! Now what? Do I need to update the PRL/Profile? Nandroid back to my 6.2? Fresh install on CM7?

Edit: Tried to nandroid back to my CM6.2 and my recovery gave me an error, something about running in adb. I don't know how to do that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
I have had intermittent data since Friday, it just cleared up this morning. My issue was a bit different though so I am a bit hesitant to send you down the wrong road. But I will share what I tried and maybe a nugget will help you.

I went all the way back to RUU stock, accepted all ota updates, radio, PRI and PRL. Then rerooted. :-) it DID NOT solve my issues! I thought it did because stock ran great for me. I flashed CM7 and the issue came back. Note: I was originally having the issue on ASOP 3/26. So this was a clean flash of CM7 with all the lastest radio-ware. I had made several changes to settings and some tweaks.

This morning the issues were worse and I had no data so I undid the last changes i made in both roms:

1. Deleted /data /emi.xml (this was a tweak I made. If you haven't heard of the file don't go there)

2. Turned off surface dithering

3. Dropped my Firerat cache size from 50 to 4

My data has been solid all day. Take this with a grain of salt. None of the changes should have fixed this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] yadnom:
I tried this fix but the problem still exists. Not a biggie as I just reboot and it takes care of it, but just thought I'd update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Yup, it doesn't work.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] deadave:
How does cm7 compare to the last asop build? I am thinking about switching since it appears to be updated more frequently. Which has less bugs?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] m_reyna_16:
how can i get my stock browser to view desktop mode only?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nsandhu23:
This is the final CM7, the updated ones your thinking of were the RC#. Those were updated frequently. I personally use only CM, never tried aosp. But others say its a matter of preference.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nsandhu23:
Go to the settings and try to uncheck Auto-fit and/or check Zoom Far.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
Both are very good. ASOP uses CM7 as the base. I think most of the bugs have been worked out of both.

The next builds you can expect to see asop remove things from his rom to be smaller.

Try them both and see what you like best. The differences are subtle.

Got a weird issue. In my status bar the "click here to disable car mode" icon is now on. I don't even have car home installed on my phone. Anyone know why it is coming up or how I can get rid of it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
Can nightlies be flashed over this? Fixing to totally rebuild my phone for the 1 bazillionth time and going to use this as the base with no Firerat's or data2ext if possible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I don't think odex and de-odex versions can be flashed over each other.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yes they can, back in the early days of aospCMod he would actually odex one build and then deodex the next one, I always flashed over with no issues. I am sure it's because the /system is what is either odex or not, so a new ROM would overwrite the files. But hey, nand backup FTW, then flash away.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
I don't see why not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
Thanks for the feedback. I decided to go with the #41 nightly build with Firerat's 1.5.8. So far running smooth. Any thoughts on battery tweaks for better battery life etc? Currently I am running cpu @ 245/691 and Autokiller set to optimized. Mixed reviews on using battery mods like collin's etc... also, 3G speed tweaks? Not installing Kifno's

I cant get it to boot past the spinning arrow screen. What am I doing wrong? Does first boot take a ridiculously long time or something?

Uh so now i got it installed and data stops working. That is a problem... Cannot even get through initial setup...

Edit:fixed on reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nsandhu23:
My suggestion Is to flash a stock Rom and update everything you can like profile and stuff. That might fix it.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
I had the same no-data issue. Flashed to sense 2.1 rom, verified that the data was working, then reflashed CM7. resolved the no-data issue. I did not update anything when i loaded the sense rom, mainly because i didn't want to reroot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
Can someone please suggest the best CPU settings? Just want the best battery life possible - would that be the ON DEMAND? Also any other settings to modify under performance settings, I don't know what all that means. I used to use Collin batt tweak on CM6.2, does it also work well on CM7? Is there a better/faster kernel out there I should use?

And JIT enabled jumps my HeroC from 1.8 mflops to 4.5 mflops! Is there anything adverse to leaving JIT on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
I am running Setcpu with profiles, but running I like 264/710 interactive. Compcache 18%, JIT enable, lock home in memory on, vm heap at 32. It's been great for me.

I haven't calibrated battery yet. But it's fair. Watch the lower cpu speeds if you use Pandora. ONDEMAND seems to be popular too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
Thanks! What exactly is VM heap? Does it have to do with voicemail? I use google voice and could careless about voicemail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
VM in this case stands for Virtual Machine, not voicemail. If memory serves, the VM heap setting is the maximum amount of memory the Dalvik virtual machine is allowed to allocate on the heap for a given app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sleepyEDB:
Hello,

Anyone else noticing random pauses during music playback? I don't mean choppiness or buffering...I mean the music randomly stops when I have the screen powered off with the music playing. When I turn on the screen to see what happened, the music player is neatly paused as if I had hit the button myself. I've noticed this behavior in both the built-in music player as well as Pandora. Could this have anything to do with my CPU settings? (See my signature)

thanks,

sleepy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jneg123:
I installed CM7 Final last week. Fantastic work on this ROM to everyone involved. I have to say the battery life has been phenomenal! No extra battery tweaks. Only the SD Card speed tweak.

At the point I took this screen shot I was down to 10%. Fairly average usage for me. Emails, GoogleVoice, texts, quite a few calls, and even a couple sessions downloading updates from the market (corresponding to that steep drop there).

Granted, I am not using the original 1500 mAh battery. My original battery failed and I upgraded to an 1800 mAh from eBay a couple weeks ago. I'm running the stock install with Firerat's set to 100 4. I also only turn on data when I need to check check email or go online and use wifi at home.

OnDemand 176/748

Compcache disabled

JIT off

Surface Dithering on

Puging assets on

Lock home on

Lock messaging app off

VM Heap 32m
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
Ok next question - MinFreeManager or AdvancedTaskKiller?

Which one do ya'll use? Or is there something better to keep RAM freed up. For MinFreeManager, what settings do ya'll use? I used to use it on CM6.2 but if I used anything higher than mild my phone would crash over and over. Thanks!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:

THANKS!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] texas83:
Also, can someone finally shed some light on what the point is of the RenderFX widget that comes from CM? I know you can add widgets that change the color of the entire screen and all, but what is the point?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
Can't see your sig on xda app, but most of my audio instability issues have been resolved by moving up min cpu speed up. Pandora is the worst for me. Can't get it stable below 352. Music app is OK at 264. Most of my music is at my desk so I plug in and tell pandora to keep screen on. Then use Setcpu to have higher cpu speed when screen is on, lower when screen is off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
Auto killer seems to be the most popular. I have run it in the past, but not right now. I think alot of the advanced settings may be redundant with settings already available in CM7.

My approach has been to start with defaults and play with them one at a time. Watch your phone for stability issues and back out anything that doesn't IMPROVE performance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I have no idea really but maybe for visually impaired or dark adapted night viewing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
It's for AMOLED screens. In AMOLED screens, every pixel is its own source of light--there is no backlight like in the LCD. When an AMOLED screen is showing a darker image, most pixels will actually be in the off state. So, the idea is that rendering everything in one color tint will result in battery savings.

It does not have any improvement for LCD screens, since our backlight is always on regardless of color. In LCDs, the backlight is always on and each pixel has a liquid crystal which, depending on its crystal orientation (changes with applied voltage), changes the polarization of light and acts as an on/off shutter for the backlight. As a result they can never achieve "true" blacks. That's why the contrast ratio of AMOLEDs are so much higher and the colors look more vibrant.

Any one know what are the best settings for Autokiller?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
Search the asop thread. There was alot of discussion about settings last month
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Use one of the presets and keep trying more aggressive settings until you find things closing when you don't want them to. Such as gps in your pocket while riding your bike.

You can just try a different setting every day or week or whenever, no reason to have to get it right right away.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I wasted a BUNCH of time delving into the advanced tweaks, and boy they're advanced. Here's a couple links to my posts in aospCMod thread:

Jason,

can you post an odexed version of the new 42 release? I see status bar additions got merged before it compiled so I wanted to update but I'm still on the odexed 7.0 stable you have up there and don't want to switch to a non-odexed because the speed is and stability is much better on it.

Thanks much.

Hi, I am getting a boot loop at the CM7 boot screen.

The last lines of LogCat are always:

I/SystemServer( 155): Battery Service
I/SystemServer( 155): Lights Service
I/SystemServer( 155): Vibrator Service

I am completely clueless on how to correct the issue.

This happened the first time I rebooted the device after I set everything up.

So, I do not have a Nand backup of CM7, only the old stock rom.

Please help me fix it.

Thanks.

Edit: (Adding specifics)

ROM: update-cm-7.0.2-Heroc-signed.zip from teamdouche. Stock kernel, latest GApps.

Edit 2:

Formatting /Data fixed the looping.

Any way I can fix my /Data, I have a nand of the non-working /data.
