[HERO ROM] Sneak Peek Working Donut on CDMA Hero

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Okay, so I loaded the rom and I have a legit question this time ( I think) is the last step (with command prompt) necessary? I am using a mac and don't know how I can run those commands... any help would be appreciated... by the way, haven't used the rom yet, but so far looks amazing.

Unfortunately yes. You can input those commands right on the phone if you would like. Install a terminal application, open it and type:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
busybox --install /system/xbin
exit
exit

then reboot. This is necessary to get busybox installed, which a lot of other applications require.

will the terminal emulator that I found on my phone work?? So far I love the rom... I do have a question though, I saw another rom that you released that allows you to use the sense ui... is it the same rom, just with updates or is it a completely different rom?

 

[Darkshneider]

This one is Android 1.6, the one youre referring to (my guess is Gumbo) is based on Android 1.5 and its the only one "officially" supported by Sprint's Hero.

 

[Roberts.Tyler3289]

yeah that was the one I was reffering to... hmmm... I'm at work so I gotta multi task a little, but I did find in the forums for gumbo that from now on all will be 1.6? at least from gbhil? So the 1.6 would be newer and more up to date right? by the way... I have been using the rom for several hours now with no issue, however I did notice after after flashing whatever that update was that walked you through the gmail set up, I got stuck in the set up for about 10 minutes and had to reboot my phone cuz it told me I had no coverage, yet my status bar showed signal. Also once I got passed that i got a FC on the set up wizard?

 

[Darkshneider]

The FC is probably because of the clock. Gbhil already mentioned hell fix it when possible since hes having technical difficulties.

Ok so this is my post here as you can see. I signed up just to tell you how amazing this Rom is. I have had zero issues, also I will say the other gentleman that made the one for xda requires you to do a headset fix... rather annooying but his was also nice but yours is definitely better. I read somewhere that you wanted to know what you should add. I think the usual you be nice keep this UI icons and all just add WiFi truer apps2sd, and also the others like SU. I just have to say again this is by far the best Rom out for hero Bluetooth is no big deal for me. I'll definitely be in here daily if not hourly to see what you cook up gbhil!!!!!!!!!

 

[grifforama]

I've been following gbhil on xda and on here, and his kernel and ROM work are by far the best.

This 1.6 build is great, but I really love sense, so in answer to your questions

Apps2SD? not bothered.
UI tweaks? yes
Custom statusbar? not bothered
Sense UI? definitely, yes.

It's nice playing with google navigation, and I wish, just wish HTC and SPRINT would sort their act out and drop 2.1...in the meantime. Great work !!!

I just installed this as outlined by GB on page 12. I have text messaging and everything seems to work except the obvious BT problem. I really wish I could have VVM though.. any way to get that? Can I grab it from 1.5 and push it in or will that not work?

Either way, I'm loving this. I can't wait for a fully functional 1.6 or higher!

Use Google Voice.

 

[Sph33r]

Hmm.. I'm seeing poor battery life with this rom. Is the .31 AOSP kernel set up to properly use setcpu 1.45?

 

[Sph33r]

Use Google Voice.

Good suggestion, I've been meaning to set that up. Now it's done

 

[obannvi]

Thats what I did. Sprint has a deal with Google to use it for free or something. Here...

Google Voice

 

[bronxxbombers24]

Sent you over an invite. Enjoy!

 

[bronxxbombers24]

thanks so much, i just looked at my phone and it said new email and i opened it and jumped lol. been waiting for awhile. cant thank you enough

 

[Darkshneider]

Too bad I cant use it.

 

[Roberts.Tyler3289]

Okay so I love the look and feel of the rom, HOWEVER I have not had data for like 4 days... and I have always had data in my house and now I cant get it. fix this ****!!!!! please =)

 

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Data will return from a reboot or by entering the following from adb (as root)

echo -n 'up:0 ' > /dev/qmi0

then toggle settings>wireless controls>mobile networks>system select from automatic to home only and back again.

And yes, known issue.

Here's a friendly tip -
When something doesn't seem right, don't wait four days to find out why

 

[Roberts.Tyler3289]

I usually wouldn't wait... but I have been working. Thanks man... so can I input that into the terminal emulator that came with the rom?

 

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

maybe. try it (enter su first).

I think I know how to incorporate this automagically when data is dropped, so hopefully any future version will be fixed.
