[CDMA HERO ROM] Gumbo 2.1

Cool. Be sure to post up anything you add in. Does the gallery work well?

yes sir i'm loving it...lol.I also installed the livewalllpaper but not sure if it installed properly.Still looking into it.
 
well its something i purchase. There is a demo version. I am looking for the paid one.
 
Alright: just wiped my as...tounding phone to factory settings after a nandroid backup. Just booted for the first time no problems so far.
 
Aw man! Got an SMS error when trying to send a text. Cause Code: 96 Error Class: 2. I am destined to stay in 1.5 forever.

Edit: it works. No need to panic anymore.

Thats....well thats just fluckked up. SMS works just fine here, both ways. I assume you had problems with SMS on 1.6 too?

I'm at a loss. I got Voice and SMS to work here just by swapping out the ril from the Eris dump with a known working one for Sprint. Voice and SMS works for me even with the raw boot image I posted on the first post. The ril file is closed source Sprint crap, so we can't do much with it.

I almost wish it didn;t work here. At least then I'd have some way of trying to get it running.

Cause code 96 -
Cause No. 96 - mandatory information element is missing.
This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause has received a message which is missing an information element which must be present in the message before that message can be processed.
What it means:
This is rarely seen in North America but usually means that the number that is being dialed is in the wrong format. Some part of the format being used is not understood by either the remote side equipment or the switching equipment between the source and destination of the call.

Try manually entering the SMS number, both with and without a 1 prefix.

Also try sending with mobile data shut off...just a hunch
 
is it just me.. or does any one not have any network connections?

Are you in Atlanta?
You might have issues because your network actually uses the extended WiMax code, even though your phone doesn't.

Try enabling Airplane mode, then toggling back.
Then try enabling airplane mode, then rebooting while in airplane mode.

Without these people and others like them working, none of us would know enough about CDMA Android to create something like this.

Inadvertently deleted the link to the bootable raw dump. Here it is again
4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download signed-test21.zip

So do i use the first link or the second?
 
The second link is the Eris dump, tweaked to boot on the Hero. (for those that want to dev their own 2.1 ROM)
The first link is a mostly working ROM based on that dump.
 
yes sir i'm loving it...lol.I also installed the livewalllpaper but not sure if it installed properly.Still looking into it.

Excellent. Try Launcher2 as well w/ the live walls.

Would love to have a choice between sense, stock and nexus homes in the next release, so we're counting on ya :D
 
how doi make the weather animation work on the homescrenh he o.o

On your homescreen, add the HTC flip clock. Choose your location, and you;ll get a window that you can check to enable full screen weather.

When your phone screen goes out, and you unlock it, you'll see the animation. So far today i got to see Sunny, partly cloudy, mostly cloudy, snow flurries and clear.

All I can say is holy s*it. And it's smooth as butter.
 
Sorry I took so long, power napping FTW.

I did have SMS problems on the 1.6 build. The text I sent wasnt for a contact (i.e. not on my contact list), but it was a reply. After that I tried Flipz's 2.1 version and I didnt have the SMS problem, but it does seem a bit heavy. Gonna try again with those fixes in a bit.

The weather animation: lock the phone then unlock it but dont do anything else and you should see it.
 
Omg...man this is the s***. You are the man GB. :cool:

Just realized this my first post on this site. Been a reg at others,but glad I joined.

So the .29 kernel that was from the Eris dump is of no use to us? Porting it is futile? Has anyone ripped into it? Is it any closer than the GSM ROMS 2.1? *1 more question is apps2sd enabled?
 
Last edited:
the .29 Eris kernel has three things going against it -
Support for non-existant hardware (hardware prox sensor)
Not supporting our hardware (digitizer and light sensor)
It's bloated, slow and cpu scaling doesn't work (probably)

It won't boot on our phones, but might be useful in other ways.

on another note -
MMS isn't working because it's set to look at Verizon's picturemail servers. Not saying that pointing it at ours will fix it, but that's the first step. And i think i see why Verizon failed this build. It lets anyone use Verizon nav services. Verizon needs that 10 bucks a month.
 
Alright, tried again by typing the number directly and it went through no problems. Gonna try syncing Google and then sending a txt to a contact.
 
They've got MMS sending working on Flipz ROM. Here's a cut and paste:

sqlite3 telephony.db

Try to send a MMS after that. If not, try rebooting the phone, and check if the update sticks or not. If it stuck, try to send MMS again.
I don't know if this works or not, can't flash my phone till later today.

http://mms.sprintpcs.com/?X-MDN=<your phone number, with 1 before the area code>

Example:
http://mms.sprintpcs.com/?X-MDN=18008881234

Receive works because MMS is just a specific type SMS message with a URL to download the MMS message from a MMSC, so it doesn't matter what MMSC is set on the phone for downloading the MMS message, the URL tells the phone where to download it.
