Sprint HTC Hero :: What Are Best CM6 Configurations?
Sep 13, 2010
I'm typically asking for the best speed settings such as kernals. OC widgets. Nightlies. I'd like to hear the best scenarios and apply them to my hero. JIT enabled? overclocked to 768? JIT disabled? Did a lot of reading from the CyanogenMod-6 for Hero V6.0.0 - RC1 thread. I know what is best so far, but flashing collins battery tweak on top of the uncapped kernal is a benefit or a negative? Some say you don't need to flash it but why not when it's making the battery last longer?

I'm supposed to develop an app which behave like that: The User starts the app and can select between different configurations. Depending on the selection there are different colors, drawables and strings (e.g. urls for webservice-calls) to display. All the code-stuff is the same.
My first intention to do so was themes.... - is it possible to include somehow strings in themes? - what shall I do with styles which are referenced in some layout-xml (which are the same for all configs) and should use different colors. can't define colors or styles multiple times and don't want to change that manually (when user selects by code).

Is there a database anywhere that has all of the different devices that use the android operating system and what their technical specs are. Mainly screen size, screen density, internal storage, external storage, memory, etc.

I just wanted to quickly bring up a topic that I had noticed lately. This comes to my attention for two reasons, firstly someone had posted that he had a user that reported a vague error message like "deleted all my pics", and the dev's were not able to reproduce it. Secondly, I myself have seen bug reports that really may not be relevant to my application. I had recommended to that first dev to just ignore the error for now since there was not enough info to reproduce it, and also for a second reason, there is no way to know what the user is truly running. For example, I've had a few bug reports, where a user says of my app "Doesn't work on HTC hero", but then another user will post "Works fine on Hero". I also had found a posting on the internet in a forum where a user had tried to use some of my software on a custom ROM, and he was having problems.
I guess the issue I'm bringing up here is that with the android market being somewhat "limited" in functionality, it makes it very hard on us developers to handle any customer issues such as bugs, etc. Especially since they could be using a custom ROM, or have ROOT access which also may even be affecting the software. My point is that developing for android in a professional manner is really not an easy task, and possibly it's just starting to be worth it (with market 1.6 at least there are some improvements) to develop paid apps. Basically Google needs to work harder though to improve this situation - and if users expect better apps (there are lots of complaints about the market being full of junk) then they need a way to report issues better, etc. And really it's not even up to a dev to try to match up with a custom ROM, technically it's not supported! (It's up to the dev of course if they want to investigate and try to support it).
What seems is going to happen is android is not only going to have multiple configs (which fortunately for us seems that the market will help filter them out if you app does not support them), but also we never can really know what is on a user's system. They may have some custom stuff, and they see a bug, but it could really not be our bug, but rather, in the system itself. This is why I still recommend that bug reports have to be weighed carefully as to whether they may really be a problem or not. It's an investment in time and while makers of free apps no doubt may not mind, those of us who develop paid apps don't want to multiply our costs by going down blank pathways.
I don't think I see any resolution to the situation in the near future, but I just wanted to make it clear that if a user reports a bug in their comments and gives you one star, it's not the end of the world. If you can reproduce it quickly and fix it, then that is great. But if not, move on - there is no way you can know exactly what they are talking about. I think some devs get too anxious about that one bad report. There is no way we are going to avoid that report! Because they may be using an untested ROM or such anyway, and it may not be worth your time to look at it in the long run. I've had few low stars here and there as well, and trust me, just keep improving your app and you will rise back up. As devs we need to encourage one another and I just want to try and help devs not get anxious about things that are really beyond their control.

I am trying to create a Video recorder but it looks like the video resolution is limited to 320 x 240. I tried changing it through MediaRecorder.setVideoSize() to something higher (e.g. 640 x 480) but gives me the same result. Is there a way to record video at higher quality? Also, when I try using the CAMERA as VideoSource instead of DEFAULT, the app force closes.
MediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT)
Which is the best configuration (encoding options?) to give the best video quality?

You know that layout editor in the Android ADT plugin that lets you design the layout for ADP1, ADP2 and Nexus One, has anyone created other device configurations? It requires device information such as the x-dpi and y-dpi, which can be difficult to find out. I'm just wondering if anybody has added more device configurations they're willing to share? Perhaps together we could compile a huge devices.xml containing many of the devices out there. I'm fully aware the layout editor has many faults and cannot be relied upon but it is sometimes useful to rapidly preview how the layout might look on a wide variety of devices without switching between emulators.

Android should become more like Windows. Android should be able to detect and recognize the different hardware configurations and adjust itself accordingly. This way, you hit two birds with one stone. No more fragmentation. No more differences in the UI, Custom UI will be entirely optional.
All the manufacturer has to do is make the hardware and provide the hardware drivers to Google. Simple as that. Everything will be so much easier. Phone manufacturers will be able pump out devices like crazy without any worries. Software developers won't have to worry about device compatibility. Come on Google, lets do it.

Is there a way, or an App that allows us to save the screen configurations /layouts , etc like on the Incredible?
For those that don't know, the Inc has preset themes and you can save whatever layouts, wallpaper setup you come up with. So you can switch whenever the mood strikes.

I'm having some trouble with my Uni's WiFi in that it needs to use a manual proxy address to access properly. I've had a wee fiddle with many things and had a look on the marketplace but there doesn't seem to be anything that can help? (I'm still running 2.1 un-rooted btw)

after installing 2.2 on my hero, everything was working fine, until now. im having problems with my text messages, they wont send under sprints network, if i put it in roaming then they send right away, but roaming has awefully slow (1x) network speeds, but if i put it back to the 3g network speeds of sprint then everytime i try to send a text it just swirls in circles (the little thing next to the message) and wont send. is this sprints network being down? or does this have to do with the 2.2 update?i dont think its sprint because my mom and sister arent having any problems with there phones from the same plan. but i tryed restarting many times, taking out and leaving out the battery, putting it in airplane mode and turning that back off to reset connection, iv tryed everything and cant get it to work, so idk what to do, and i dont understand why if it was a software problem with the 2.2 installation, why would they send in roaming but not on sprints network?

I have read a couple of threads that touched on this ring issue, but was unable to find any that had a solution or work around.Since the 2.1 update and the OTA update, many times when an incoming call comes, the phone doesn't ring. If I happen to be in front of the phone, I can see the screen change showing an incoming call.If I am listening to Pandora Radio, when the phone rings, Pandora stops, but the phone never rings.If I am not near or looking at the phone this results in missing the call.If I shut off the phone and re-boot it appears to ring fine, but at some point later in the day or week it will quit ringing.I normally never turn off the phone. Should I start to re-boot every day?

Please Post all Sprint Hero update rumors here. This not to be confused with the " Official 2.1 Thread. I would also sugest to our ever so patient moderators to move any post of this nature to this thread. Let's clean up the forum and when the update is out out we can get rid of all this with one flush.

I searched up Android 2.1 on Google and I Found a website with Sprint Hero - 2.1 leaked! "Website: Sprint HTC Hero Android 2.1 Upgrade Leaked" Rumors have been flying around the web about Spring releasing an official Android 2.1 upgrade for their HTC Hero mobile phone.The dates for the Android 2.1 upgrade for the Spring HTC Hero have been speculated to be either on April 29th, and others simply by the end of April.But according to BlogsDNA.com, hackers at XDA Developers forum have leaked a Sprint HTC Hero test ROM marked:
RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test The stands for Radio Unit Update, and is a common package that HTC phones of all kinds use, from Windows Mobile Phones to Android Roms.Without a doubt, the remaining days in the month of April building up to be full of high profile mobile phone announcements.Expected this month (April) are the HTC Incredible and Nexus One at Verizon, and now this, the Sprint HTC Hero Android 2.1 upgrade.
Rumors were also spreading about a possible iPhone / Verizon deal being announced.We ve already had the iPhone OS 4.0 announcement.And of course, I would be remiss to leave out the iPad announcement from Apple.

I recently rooted my phone and was wondering how to install custom themes and lock screens for my hero. I am new to this as the title implies, so a link/instructions on how to install/create these would be what I'm looking for. I also am looking for solutions that do not need to install a new ROM as I just want to mod the current one that I have since i haven't found one I like. I rooted the 2.27.651.5 official sprint software with the instructions from the xda forum here: [GUIDE] How to Root Sprint 2.1 Release for CDMA Hero - xda-developers.

iv heard ppl who downloaded android 2.2 online and installed it themselves on there phone since its not being offered ota. but im wondering if its safe? the phone is not actually getting 2.2 ever, so doing this would be my own choice. but im wondering if it will run smoothly, better than 2.1 update 1, and if there will be any problems or if anything that may not work because of compatability problems with the phone. because some people have said that 2.2 isnt being released to the hero because the phone is not physically capeable of it do to software and hardware (such as space ram speeds etc.), and others have said they installed it themselves and it works fine, that its actually made to run using less space then 2.1 making it better.

I had the same problem with my hero, bought the replacement off of ebay, followed these instructions..and wasn't too complicated. The only tome I had any frustrations was getting the clips unhooked also removing the cracked piece from the super strong adhesive.

Does anyone else want the stock (white) nofication bar on the Sprint Hero? If any one has it on their please share how to get it. I think because its a HTC phone it is made with the black bar, but is their anyway to extract the APK from any other android phone if such a file exists and just install it on the Hero, I really prefer the white one.

I have been a Blackberry and Windows Mobile user for the last eight years. I am 55% sure that I want to get the Hero but I am not 100% sold. I am also considering the Pre. I know this sounds crazy, but the absolute #1 thing I need is Internet sharing and tethering capability; even more so than a phone itself. I must be able to connect my phone to my laptop, either by usb or bluetooth, and have it working in less than 30 seconds each time. I currently run Ubuntu 9.4 and Windows Vista/XP. My windows mobile phone works with all of these, and quickly.I have searched and searched but have found nothing as to wether the Sprint version is capable of thethering.

I just got my brand new EVO and was incredibly annoyed I'm 3 blocks away from having 4G in my house. That's a deal breaker for me, as I'm home alot and I have to pay for something I can't use much.
All I really need this phone for is GMail, Google Voice, Google Turn-by-Turn, Web browsing and a few core apps like SplashID and Evernote.
Does the Hero have all these "core" features? Is there anything the EVO has, in terms of software, that the Hero doesn't? Is there anything that is *really missing* from the Hero that the EVO has?

Sprint gears up for more Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile goodness Boy Genius Report
Sprint said itself that the Hero/Moment would be getting software updates. They didn't say 2.0, but HTC already said they're skipping 1.6 for 2.0. It would be suicide for Sprint to go to 1.6 when Verizon will have 2.0 in 3 days.
Yay Sprint! Now don't be too laggy in releasing this! My phone has SO many bugs it's not even funny!

I rooted my sprint HTC hero and installed CM6 on it the other day, and everything is working great... except voicemail. I was using the Sprint VVM app, and that worked, but I got that annoying SMS message with each new voicemail, so I decided to switch to Google Voice (for voicemail only). It seems to work, except when my friends (who also have Sprint) call, and I don't answer the call, they either get a fast busy signal or they hear a voice say something like "Call cannot be completed. Goodbye" and then it hangs up.
Calling from land-lines and other cells seems to work ok? I just enabled Google Voice today, so do I need to wait a certain amount of time before it works Sprint to Sprint, or? Has anyone else seen this before? I should mention, it only happens on unanswered calls. If i dismiss the call before it's done ringing, it properly goes to google voicemail.

Just went to my local sprint store to check out the EVO and feel jealous. After talking to the sales person and expressing this jealousy, she asked what phone I had and when I bought it. When I told her I've had the hero since Oct, she smiled and informed me that I most likely was a Premier Customer and that I would be able to upgrade this Oct!! I told her that I thought to be premier, you had to be a customer for ten years. She then told me that if you have a data heavy plan, like the unlimited data plan, and have made payments on time for 3, yes, 3 consecutive MONTHS, you are now a premier customer, and can upgrade your phone EVERY 12 MONTHS! that is huge news for us hero owners. though I do love my hero, just thinking about having the beautiful EVO in just 4 short months makes my day, my week, my month and my year! Ok i'm done, just thought everyone should know.
