New verizon leak...

Posted in the eris forum. Someone said it had the gmail sign in error fixed. I hope he is right and its not just intermittently working like most of ours.
Either way figured its worth a look (posted for the slim chance a dev didnt see it or something)

Why is that? The Eris and Hero Share about 98% of software\hardware. We are lucky the Eris Rom got leaked and now we have working 2.1 Roms for everyday use.
Im guessing, if the gmail thing is true, that in a couple of hours (a day tops)we will have that ported to our beloved 2.1 roms for our heroes.

Just kidding. I am actually running the new release right now. I am still testing it out a bit and then it will be up. Includes the new Eris leak, which has fixed a few problems that I have seen.

Wow - between your upcoming rom and Darch's new Legend release I'm not getting anything done today!
Damage, what else does the new Eris leak have in it?

your 1.0 rom is the best right now.
i have been using it since it came out with no problems

Nice, I'll be waiting....

What's annoying for a casual user/reader is that all these ROMs say "100%" but then there's things like facebook linking issues. I like Fresh 1.1 so much that I'm seriously afraid to wipe and lose some functions I like!

I thought I was the only one saying 100%
My ROM is 100% because it is 100% usable, stable, and can be used easily as a daily ROM, and it was the first one to become that way. There are bugs and problems, but there are ALWAYS bugs and problems in everything, even if you don't notice it. Facebook syncs and links and everything else is great. There are small things in it that need some tweaking, but that's why I keep releasing new versions.

I'm a pansy then. I wish there was a good guide on how to backup using mybackup (my nandroid hasn't even been working for me recently? not sure why), but I heard it won't restore data from mybackup, so I'm afraid to use that. I'm just so attached I want it to be as painless as possible and I'm one of those people too afraid to do a wipe because I never have!

you can't expect these ROMs to be 100% perfect...
they'll be perfect when we get the 2.1 update for our phone..
but for now those 2.1 roms that are out for the hero work perfectly fine for some...

Yeah, I'm thinking of taking the plunge, I just am not as tech-savvy. But a lot of people say "this is a great daily ROM" and then they say things like "fine for some..." so it's just a tad misleading is all I'm saying. To some people losing visual VM is worth it for 2.1, but I'm sure to others (myself excluded) visual voicemail is really cool and they don't want to deal without it. Even though there is a "workaround" so it's a bit weird to me, but I still want to play with it so I think I will see how bad the wipe will be haha.

RegawMOD v2.1 problems...

I am wondering if anyone else is having a problem with RegawMOD not going to settings? It says something like, "link has been broken"?
This is my search id: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=36557772

As soon as i flashed the latest(old now) regaw, i got the rebootloop while plugged in deal. I just flashed back to my previous rom. I would rather not post and make devs look bad. Those are not my intentions, and judging by the numbers i figured it was most likely just me. But the whole popular rom thing is kind of starting to remind me of my iphone consumer theory(everyone else has one, so i want one too). So maybe even if flawwed, since 5000000 other ppl dl it then others who follow the popular vote will most likely feel compelled to follow suit. Dont be a sheep, test for yourself or just mod your own like ive always done as common logic.

I'm sorry to hear you guys are having such trouble with it. I've never heard of anyone not being able to get into the settings menu
Regaw is also my favorite because of it's combination of being super responsive and very stable. I've assembled a rom mod based on regawmod for my hero owning friends and family, I'll just say it's stable enough I have my girl running it although there's no reason it should run any different than RM2.1. If you guys want to give it a try shoot me a pm.
Wish I could be more help, I've just had very little trouble with RegawMOD.

regaw is my favorite because of the stability(over other roms), how heavily themed it is, and the direct support i get from the dev himself.
a fresh wipe and reflash has always fixed any issue ive ever had. but ill wait until next release. treve is emerging with some pretty promising things too.

Treve's work lately is amazing, he's a genius
I'm running (not the latest one) one of his a2sd apps w/ gui. Awesome!

Well I find it amazing.. I just need to get to my settings lol. xD Maybe I need to get a older version from someone. IDK.
Also I did a fresh wipe and even re downloaded it. no workie. Ill talk to regaw, He's so cool with things like this.

Hey guys, didn't see this yesterday. I haven't had any troubles with the settings menu either... could I get a logcat of an attempt?

Been running regaw since it was released... No issues at all, loving it and I highly doubt I will switch. Fresh had more bugs than regaw... I have literally found 0 bugs on regaw and im loving it.

reserved.....maybe?

ive decided to take pancake 1.5c...the fastest rom there is IMO and customize it and tweak whatever i can.
i know most are going to the 2.1 roms but with the some bugs that plague them i wondered if anybody would have any interest in this before i start working on it?

fastest says who ?
and what bugs some minor quirks here and there but nothing major nothing with going back to 1.5 imho

It's only 1 vote, but I would be. I keep upgrading to various 2.1 ROMs only to find myself going back to 1.5-based ROMs.
My programming skills are non-existent, so I couldn't help any of the development, but I would be happy to test anything you might create.

says me...1.5c based off of gumbo is about the fastest rom there is, or at least that i have tried and ive tried them all and done benchmarks.

1.5c is Gumbo. I'm not sure the what version number Papapancake was.

I don't know if my opinion count, but I did like Pancake when it was out. However, after I fresh 2.0 leak, I doubt I will every go back to 1.5 imho. Maybe other might like if 2.0 is not perfect until final release. You might want a poll here.

so your buying into the friday release date?

just cause it's coming out doesn't mean everything will be fixed....

would you be incorporating the overclocking into the Kernel? That would certainly be nice.

Pancake overclock is obnoxiously fast. I'm running it now.

phone is too damn slow

I'm tired of my phone being too slow, responding too slow to touch, lagging..
I have the android 2.1 OS on my HTC Hero CDMA and I was wondering if there were any general recommendations to speed up my phone.
I would be willing to put on a hacked OS, root it, or do whatever it takes as long as the phone is still fully functional. I'm pretty new with this stuff so bear with me.
Thanks,
Surfline

Root and install pretty much any rom.

I rooted, installed CM6, my phone was totally transformed.

Cm 6 - rc1 is a good start simply amazing going from stock. I get 0 lag. I must warn you always do a nandroid back up before changing ROMs. Its basically a clone of your phone's software and settings allowing you to recover from a bad issue.

+1 to all previous posts.
The Hero running out of the box stock with Sense is really pretty slow. I liked Sense, but I like a faster device better.
Follow the well documented instructions found on this site for rooting the Hero and then play around with different ROMs until you find one that fits you.
Personally I've been running Darchdroid and don't plan on ever switching again.
I don't even know what lag is any more.

Thank you for your responses.
Is there a link for a tutorial or forum topic about where to download CM6 and how to install it?
Thanks.

I got CM6 on there now, and it is much faster.
I've seen some posts about putting different kernal's on there..What do you guys think about that? Is there any cool features that I can do now with CM6? Tethering?
Thanks.

Don't have any lag issues with CM6. Been running for 3 weeks no lag. ???

The problem with installing something like CM is that those ROMs are missing a lot of the stuff that you are used to using. And you might spend a long time downloading, and looking for the apps you need. I found CM to be not much faster and a pain in the ass in some ways (the dialer is weak, same with the keyboard, etc.)
I know people are going to start pointing to all the apps you can download to replace what is there, but it's a pain, and time consuming.
If anything I would try one of Fresh's ROMs, which have Sense and most of the HTC apps. And his Toast versions allow for overclocking as well.
On another note, your Hero should not be slow. Have you tried a factory reset?? I have used slow Heros before, but when they are working properly there should be almost no lag with the stock 2.1 OS.

The kernel is under the thread cdma android development and as far as cm6 u can overclock as well with a different kernel and as for aosp vs sense its just user preference tryem both c which one u like best and stick with what works for u that's what there here for both are outstanding

That's the beautiful thing about CM6 though is the customization. I know its personal choice, but I actually love the CM6 Phone Dialer (one of the guys over on the theme board customized the background for in call to be a nice cyan color other than green) and like the AOSP keyboard moreso than the Sense Keyboard. You can however, install a variety of HTC_IME keyboards and get that same Sense functionality on CM6.
I only do a new nightly every few days and it might take me... 10 minutes or so to get my phone setup. That includes a Full Wipe, ROM Flash, Kernel Flash, Circle Battery Flash and now a Phone Dialer Flash. I connect to my wifi and the Market downloads all of my apps for me and I restore my settings with ADW Backups. Logging into an app every now and then doesn't bother me after I've flashed a new ROM.
This is an "to each his own" situation and I did use FreshROM for quite some time before making the switch. To me, I don't plan on looking back. I may be switching to the T-Mobile G2 when it's released and as soon as CM is made available for it I'll be rooted and running it in no time.

How do you get the market to automatically download your apps? Is it another app or backup? It won't even save all of the apps I had downloaded last time. It only seems to save around 8.

The way I see it is CM keeps adding and adding stuff, rather than perfecting. I personally flashed back to CM, but once a true AOSP come out it on!
edit...just want to add that since the merge of 2.3.3 battery is worse, and reboots take longer, speaking of CM7 of course.
