Fresh Rom HELP? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some help I installed the new fresh Rom and every time I hit the home button the screen goes black and then the sense FC

Never heard that problem I would try full wipe of everything and an SD repartition if that doesn't work then ur phone could just not like the Rom. Do u have the same problem with roms based off this 1?

agreed...wipe everything and reinstall from a FRESH start. see if that helps and if not then report the glitch/bug to Fresh and see what he says.

Thread moved to Q&A.

Have seen before, but didn't spend much time debugging as I no longer use sense. I highly recommend switching to LauncherPro and grabbing something like Beautiful Widgets and the Pure widgets to make up for the lack of widgets.

I Recently Went To Remove A App From My Home Screen & When I Did I Noticed The Same App Was Still There In The Same Spot! So For The Hell Of It I Went Ahead & Moved Another App Just To Find Out That Every App & Widget On My Phone Had A Duplicate Under It! I Then Went Ahead And Took Both Off, & Replaced Them With A New Icon (Same-App) & It Seemed That My Phone Got Faster! One Issue Is That The Sense Clock Widget Would Not Recognize Being Long Pressed, So I Had To Reinstall The Clock Widget, Which Automatically Rebooted My Phone For Some Reason! After Reboot All Was Fine, Until Today When It Happened Again.... My Question Is WHAT THE HELL IS CAUSING THIS??

The Rom I'm Using Is "FroyoSense- V8.1" (*Only Cause V8.5 Wouldn't Boot*)
Also I Did Make A Backup, But For Some Reason It Still Happened! I Ended Up Doing A "Full-Wipe" & Re-Installing The Rom Again!! Which I Thought Was Straight, Until Today.... When That Damn Issue ReOccurred!!

So try doing a nand restore from a time when this didn't happen.. Or try a different ROM.

No, there isn't. Maybe the Rom file you downloaded was corrupt. Try re-downloading it and flashing, and if you still have problems do a logcat and send it to the dev who made it.

You really ought to search for some. After 1 min, I found a stable CM6 sense ROM and a stable AOSP sense 2.2 ROM. Try searching and see what you come up with. Good luck

Have You Tried To Install Either Of The Sense Roms? Cyanogen or Aosp? I Believe I Installed The Cyanogen Rom & When I Flashed It It Was Just The Regular Cyanogen, With The ADW Launcher! Though It Said CyanogenSense!

No, I haven't and won't. I don't like sense at all. Plus, it's a sense THEME, not a sense ROM. Sense is tied in with the framework so much you can't just pick and choose what you want from it.

[MOD][KA7]AOSP Lockscreen[Devs4Android][01/22/2011]

This is the AOSP lockscreen for the newest KA7 leak that Krylon360 & Chainfire found. I think Whitehawkx was going to do this, but I got a little board.. so I did it.
This has only been tested on the deodexed version, if you are on the odexed version, be aware this may not work.
I still need to fix the menu to unlock bug (It is really easy to fix, I will do it early tomorrow)
Anyways... You guys are going to want the download link, but first.. Please read the disclaimer..
*DISCLAIMER*
By flashing anything found on this page, you cannot hold us responsible if anything may go wrong with your device, like if it were to explode, turn into a transformer & run away, or start smoking..

To flash this, just put it on your INTERNAL sd-card (as the .zip) boot into CWM recovery & install... Have fun!
This is awesome ... thank you

Works perfectly.on the deodexed version. Thanks a lot!

I flashed this under the assumption that Trigger v1.1 was a deodexed rom... I still think it is, but if it isn't someone please correct me. It went into a boot loop right after installing it, so I let it continue to loop for a while then pulled the battery and tried again. It booted all the way up this time, but now it won't go into the market. I tried a fix_permissions in ROM Manager, but it only fixed the permissions for ROM Manager itself... Any ideas? I got this thing just the way I liked it and forgot to do a backup...
EDIT: I saw that Trigger has a new version v1.2 that includes the lockscreens and couple other new things. I'm just going to flash that and re-customize. Thank you anyway for the potential help.
Try clearing market data and see if it lets you.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already downloaded and am in the process of flashing and customizing the new Trigger ROM. I saw that it already had the extra lockscreens I wanted and a couple other miscellaneous things that looked intriguing.

[Q] trouble installing red dawn ROM for cdma hero

Ok, Papa Smurf put together a really good ROM, I'm just such a noob its killing me. All of the Jargon involved in this is very far over my head. whenever one of you guys say any technical term, i literally have to go look the word up. Rooting for most people with a working brain is a cakewalk. That wasn't the case for me. But i stuck in there and got it done.
Then it came time to install the ROM. I looked through the thread that he posted the ROM and never found any real directions. I'm sure this is due to the fact that everyone has enough sense to figure it out on their own.
What i did was went to the ROM manager and installed the ROM, then re-started my phone. it stuck on the htc screen for a minute then the droid eye thing came up and that kept looping. Soo, according to what I understood from the directions....i took the battery out and put it back in. The first problem I am having is how to turn my phone back on now. It's not even recognizing that the charger is plugged in. The second thing i need is for someone to give me any type of directions on hoe to do this the right way. I dont know how to flash the jit file either.
I'm sure i sound like a fool but thats what i am. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who tries to help me.
I got my phone restored back to the way it was before I tried to install the ROM. I just need to get the ROM installed.
I got it I guess. I just restarted my phone about ten times and it eventually took... a red eye popped up and it said "droid" over and over like it has been doing. Then the rotary lock screen came up and i started to set up my phone. but after i finished it went right back to the eye thing. Is it because of the JIT.ZIP file not being installed right?
That's pretty old. Why not try a nice 2.2 or 2.3 based rom? 2.1 is so... old.

I'm a nube. Which one do you suggest? I figured out how to do it right. I just want something stable.

Cm7 or aospmod both are fine choices for non sense roms. Not real sure about sense roms, though. LiquidSense, maybe? Remember to wipe everything before you flash a new rom. Dalvik, cache, data all need it when flashing a new one. More than likely, that is what is causing your boot loops. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all were new once. Btw, I said "hard on"! *Beavis laugh*

Sounds like you may have not done a wipe before you installed the ROM?
I follow the procedure from the CM wiki (because that's the first ROM I flashed)...

If you want Stable, Try LiquidSense even though its 2.1 its Fast!
If you want a Mostly Stable 2.2 Sense ROM, Search My ExpressoEnergyHeroc Thread.... I Think You'd Like it!!!

I followed these instructions and when I reboot it hangs at the HTC screen. I pulled the battery, waited 1 min. still hangs. I wiped and reinstalled and same results.. any ideas what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks, Ted O
I wiped it, just not good enough apparently. I eventually. Got it working it just wasn't working as well as it looked. I'm gonna try the 2.2 that was suggested.

I used rom manager and wiped Everything three Times. It still didn't run like I thought it would. Pretty sure it wasn't my fault after that.

Thanks Hud.. I'll keep trying as I need 2 android 2.2 for my blueant car kit to work properly.
Just to clarify, I haven't flashed your 2.2 yet. I was still referring to the red dawn rom. If I flash your rom I will I be able to run adw? Probally not right?

What recovery are you using? If it isn't RA, then I can't tell you. I would assume the dalvik wipe would be somewhere around the other wipe options.

Has anyone found a complete fix for GIF issues in browser?

Basically there is a problem with gif images in 2.2.1 browser. Gif images dont play at all, unlike the browsers from 2.2 or even 2.1.
We had a thread about it before, but it died. We thought of a partial fix but it wasn't completely fixed because you would have to clear your level 2 memory every once in awhile for them to play again.

[Q] Phoenix ROM vs Cognition?

I'm currently using the latest Cognition rom on my captivate. I'm thinking of switching to phoenix rom because of the themes that are available. However, since I'm relatively new to roms, I cannot decide if I should switch. Can you guys give me some pros and cons of switching?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Well what kind of themes are you looking at? Cog has some cool ones.
I was thinking of a black theme
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Look up Darkness v2.5 in Themes and Apps.
I tried flashing that using CWM two days ago, but it made my phone freeze every time I unlock it. It then proceeds to automatically turn off the screen and back on again, repeating the freezing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Go with firefly ... It was made by the same dev team that made phoenix but has an awesome app with a lot of themes (including a black ang white one) and mods that you can download directly from there. Super convenient.

Did you clear cache and Dalvik?
Also, look in the Torch thread at post #2. Monochrome theme there is all black and white and *SHOULD* work with Cognition, as both are KB1 based. Worst that can happen is you're put in an endless boot animation, but even that probably won't happen.
How do you clear the cache and Dalvik?

In recovery ... Cache is in the main menu. Dalvik is in the advanced menu.
Note: after doing this the next boot will take a LONG time. Don't panic it's normal it's rebuilding those caches you just wiped.
Ok thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Nope, still no luck. I cleared all the cache and Dalvik cache then reflashed the theme. However, it still did the same thing, which is freezing whenever I unlock the phone, then turning off the screen and repeats.
Any other themes that support cognition v4?
