[CDMA HERO ROM] Gumbo ROM 1.5c

Ok, I flashed it again so I could get a logcat this time. I'm attaching it now. Think you can help me out? I could use another home screen or 4 :P

Question about using the Gumbo ROM does it use the stock SMS or a different one?
and does it access the 1.5 market?
 
Just wanted to say that I flashed your Gumbo rom last night and I'm really happy with the improvements in my device. It's especially apparent in the speed of the interface, in general, vs. the stock rom.

Thanks for all the work you have put into it, gbhil, and I will be following the progress of the rom as you update.

Thanks again.

1 - Sorry I disappeared yesterday. Trying to clean up a few things so I can hand them off and be done with it, and it's just not going well. Everyday a new Toyota recall is causing me lots of grief in the real world :D

2 - I've done a bit of digging. There is some talk at Android Forums about this exact issue, but with the stock ROM. It seems like there are some issues with these apps:
"Java/J2ME Manager"
"Video Player"
"My Coupons"
"Gtaks"
"Handcent"
"CompSMS"
"Taskpanel X"
"Astrid"
"LocA"
on certain phones. The general consensus is that the phone in question is faulty. I don't buy that for one minute. To make things worse, Sprint claims that Shazam and TasKiller are known to cause issues with the Hero and say that everything on the list above might by the same way. I certainly don't buy that.

I know you have wiped, RUU'd and re-rooted. Did you flash both parts at the same time, and get these errors at first boot? You don't mention any 3rd party apps, so I'm assuming that you get these problems from a clean boot.

I know this is a PITA, but could you flash the whole complete Gumbo ROM and see how it boots up? If it works, the extra crapola can just be rm'd from the shell or deleted with root file explorer.

I don't wanna use you for a guinea pig to test out Sprint's ridiculous theory, just wanna get you the support to get up and running.

Stock SMS app, and yes 1.5 market. I know Darkshneider already answered, but just in case you needed to hear it from me - he's right.

You're welcome. Nobody should be stuck with the Stock Hero IMO, and I'm just glad i could help.

I'm surprise to see handcent on the list there ! I have no issue with there program at all.But i believe what people are forgetting to do is to disable the default notification and message retrieval from the default stock sms and go to handcent and activate it there.Other then that it works great.

And that's when i was using stock rom.
 
Stock SMS and yes.

Oh I agree. Sprint is full of it and simply trying to pass the buck. Just tried to share everything I learned, even if it's less than helpful :)

It's the stock SMS app. I've always been able to send pictures through it. What problems are you having??
 
well i know that the stock app can't send pic's unless you change the size of mp on the camera but when i leave the camera @5mp it won't let me send any pictures
 
Ahh I see. That's a Sprint thing. Can only send attachments under 1 MB via short mulitmedia message service. Handcent autoresizes any attachments over 1 MB, so it seems to work automatically.

The mms app in my ROM will act the same as the stock app.
 
ok can the stock app be removed all together and replaced?

no, i tried that and my sms stop working.best solution is go under settings and deactivate notification and message retrieval and if you're using handcent activate it there. and it'll work like a charm.
 
this might be a crazy question but does your Gumbo ROM look the same as the stock?
I've yet to Root and download it might try this weekend cause i just found the nexus one keyboard apk to add but i need my phone rooted to use it.
 
Yep. Looks the same as stock. The apps have been optomized using a process called zipalign (from Google) but they look and act the same.
 
If I come across anything worth an update I would, but no real plan. Not much more can be done if you want Sense and everything working.

If you see a certain feature that's not supported and would like to see it updated let me know.
 
I love this rom. The only thing I can't figure out is the Wifi tethering. My laptop can connect but can't get on the internet. I've wiped, reflashed, un rooted, re rooted and everything else I can think of. Every time it starts, I check the log and "Deleting routing-rule.." always fails. Any ideas?
 
gbhil, before I flash the full Gumbo package, should I do anything to disable A2SD?

Of that list, I have the MyCoupons and ChompSMS installed.
