I searched and did not find anything...sorry if i missed something...
Alright so I am looking at rooting and only thing that worries me is if i have to send the phone in. How can i make it look like I did not root it. Is there any downside to rooting and what can I do with a rooted phone. Thanks everyone
It's really simple to make it go back to stock, just use the Sprint RUU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434
Downside to rooting might be if you don't have a permissions manager installed you could give root access to malicious program. Haven't heard of it happening yet, but it can.
As for what can be done with a rooted phone, the possibilities are endless...
once you root and flash a recovery rom your all set to go...also do a backup in case. there are a couple really good roms out there, i recommend fresh 1.1 and gumbo kernel. there are some really great themes out there as well. as the above poster said the possibilities are endless and in time we will have as many new roms and themes as the gsm users have.
most important, have fun!
Where can I get the ROMs? I can't seem to find them....and with my luck they are in some place obvious.
There is a sticky at the top of these forums which gives a nice link.
To make it easy, it takes you here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs
there is a sticky at the top of the forum that has all of the ROMs in a Wiki site. look there
haha just like I thought...It was in plain sight. Well after trying a couple of ROMs i fell with Fresh....but i've noticed that my clock does not display the weather anymore...whats up with that?

Go into menu, weather, update and then give it a min. If it still doesnt refresh, put your phone in stand by and come back.

Nothing. The weather widget has no problems and syncs just fine and shows the correct weather but the clock refuses to. I think everything is set correctly yet it does not want to show.

Did you try soft resetting your phone or even removing the widget and adding it back to the homescreen?
both. Neither worked oddly. I dont know...ill mess with the GPS and wifi settings also and see if that fixes it. that isnt the biggest problem ever. If you have any idea on whats wrong though let me know.
I have rooted my phone and I am an addict. I am here everyday for about an hour. You will have fun with it. I recommend that before once you root it and get your first rom installed play with it for a while but dont get comfortable. I have used all the roms available for the hero except one of them. My advice to you is install one play with it them switch and use them all before you start installing all of your apps and customizing it. I have put three hours into customizing my phone with a rom and then Im like ooh a and install another rom and I have to start over LOL. You will have fun if you like to tinker I guarantee it. Have fun and good luck.
While I am thinking about it....can I make my lock screen any more useful. I find this so plain
sorry for the double post but I wanted this to bump up. Clock will not show the weather anymore...anyone have a fix? also any way to put something on the lock screen?
This is a build I put together yesterday... It's basically stock ROM with the bloatware removed along with most sense elements... I'm working on a more pure vanilla, but builds thus far are really unstable. This build has been stable on my phone- with the exception of Rosie Utility FC at startup that I can't figure out since Rosie is gone. Wifi tether is enabled, google apps are included, su and busybox are installed and working, and I'm using launcher2 for now. Try it out and see what you think- nothing special, but it's something to play with until the pros release something great...
link removed- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713316 for newest work...
I am getting major force closes on every thing when it boots up. Am I doing anything wrong. The only ROM I can get to work is the cyan test rom.
Acore is one of the force close but there are many when it boots.
did you wipe before install? I haven't had these problems... so it's hard to tell you what's going on- sorry it's not working for you though...
I did do a wipe but not sure if I am doing it right. It does seem like it is installing both roms. What is the best way to wipe?
In clockwork recovery select wipe data/factory reset... then wipe cache partition.
Yeah I finally got to wipe. Thanks for the help
Any chance you will get a version of this with the stock android dialer and phone.apk (i.e. like the Nexus One)?
That's where I'm headed eventually... I'm trying to figure out how to get nexus over to the inc, but the gsm/cdma thing is busting my ass... So far I have it loading with working hardware, but it won't join the damn network...

just to help out, from experimenting with rom building myself i came across this:
Search the XDA-developers forum for "Safely remove Rosie.apk on FreshToast 1.1?" (I cannot post a link because its a new account sorry)
its meant for the HTC Hero BUT it explains that you want to get rid of HtcAddProgramWidget.apk to make that FC go away.
the question is will that break anything, try it and find out
I flashed your rom and saw the FC then "rm HtcAddProgramWidget.*" and the FC went away in the setup process. idk if it breaks anything else when you actually use the phone though. good luck!

Nice- thanks for the help...
I'd like to see a stock dialer work with verizon to troubleshoot an issue.
A weird issue which not many people have seemed to mention is the fact that you can't make multiple calls with Verizon. Perhaps its a verizon limitation? I am new to verizon so I am not sure.. When I mean make multiple calls, all you can do with the stock incredible is place a call, add a call and then conference it. You cannot put your first call on hold, make a second call and then go back to the first call. The phone app will only allow you to conference it. Also when you hit end calls its ends both calls..
The EVO does not have this problem, but it being on sprint perhaps they support it.. As both are CDMA networks I believe it should work with the incredible?
I would love a senseless rom with the stock android dialer. I would be ok with sense but the sense dialer is a pos. i just hate it.
If you have something like Dialer One installed, it's actually ok to delete HtcDialer.apk and HtcDialer.odex from /system/app. You can say goodbye to the Sense dialer. Even if you still use the Sense launcher, when you press Phone it will bring up Dialer One and will not fc on you.
I finally put together a stock nexus rom for the Inc, but I'm having the same issues as the cyanogenmod... says TCDMA64 at the top and the damn camera won't work... does anybody know how to properly deodex the stock apps from the Inc.? Try as I might I can't get it to work...
On a brighter note- it's fast, and light... just won't take pictures...
Hello from Trinidad.
I have had my N1 for a couple weeks now. I got it stock froyo frf91 I think, Tmobile model.
Anyway here are the issues I have with the device. I'm coming from a long line of Nokia Symbian devices as well as a Blackberry. Its very upsetting that things I have taken for granted on my nokias and bb are not available/implemented out of the box with Android. I can only hope this improves in future.
1) Alarm Clock. It does not go off. This happened both with stock 2.2 as well as Cyanogen. First issue. I edit the default alarms that came with the phone to the time and days that suit me. Set it for 6am Mon - Sat. It WILL NOT go off.
The only way to make it work was to delete the initial alarms that come with the device and then create new ones. This works fine after with stock 2.2. However on Cyanogen it will fail to work the week after.
Example - I set an alarm 2 sundays ago. It will work for Mon-Sat the prior week but for the week after it will not go off.....like this morning:-/. I did install the latest gapps with cyanogen 6.
This is a killer problem. its hard to believe that such a basic feature malfunctions in both Stock and Cyan. :-|
2)Gallery & Sync to Picasa - The gallery app is fine, besides the lag it takes to render photos. Anyway, when I sync my Picasa account with my phone it loads every single Picture from my account, with no way to hide albums or pictures. In addition to that I cannot download pictures from my Picasa account to the gallery..... So its only purpose is to view them?
3)Camera - App worked fine on Stock, sometimes Force Closes or throws the error "Cannot connect to device." on Cyan.:-/
4) Custom Ringtone per Contact - Maybe its me, but I cannot set a custom tone per contact in my address book. I can set a custom ringtone for the phone itself but not per contact. Please tell me that I missed an option and that this has not been left out. Its a basic feature such as an alarm clock......
5) I remembered. Whenever I set a phone number as the default for a contact, it does not save. i would always have to tick "Do this automatically from now on" or something to that effect, select the number and let it dial. After going back to contacts and dial the same number I would have to do it again.
For anyone that is gonna try to assist me this is what I've done so far.
Rooted the device but not unlocking the bootloader via a method I found on xda. I can't post links, but its the method that does not involve fiddling with the battery. Installed market enabler so that I could actually give google my money (way to go google :-/) and bought a couple of apps such as Titanium backup, Beautiful Widgets, Bettercut, Launcher Pro Plus and System info widget.
Btw I've had Beautiful widgets freeze/ force close on a couple occasions.
That's all I can recall. I'm gonna wipe my device to deal with this but I have another question before I do.
As I'm not in a country that can buy apps normally through the store, what will happen to my paid apps? Will they remain on my downloaded list or will they disappear? Any recommendations?
I've backed up my paid for apps with Titanium. Great app ... But how do I backup Titanium backup :-/?
1. NEVER had a problem with an alarm not going off.
2. Don't use
3. No force closes at all
4. View the contact, menu, options
The applications that are downloaded are stored in /data/app/.
The applications are linked to your google account so once you sign in with the same account it will start to restore them. I really don't know how it works for non market enabled countries but it should still show up and I have never seen anyone complain that they can't redownload them.
When reporting problems it's always best to start out fresh because something could have gotten corrupt or incompatibility with something else.

The "default" ringtone chooser only allows "system" ringtones. The apps "ringdroid" and "Rings extended" give UI's that allow the selection of music/etc as a ringtone. Once one them is installed the next time you try to choose a ringtone it will ask you which application to use (and you can choose to always use that app)
I use CM6 and have just modified the default 2 alarms and they always work. Are you running any kind of auto-task-killer? (BTW they do more harm than good)
If you don't want to sync with picassa then disable "Sync Picasa Web Albums" in "Accounts and Sync" under your google account.

Create folders on your SDcard
Media/Ringtones
Media/Notifications
And put your MP3 files in there and then you can select them with the default ringtone selector.
Thanks for the responses guys.
1) The alarm issue I'll be testing over the next couple of weeks to see if it works or not.
2) I disabled the sync to albums in accounts for Picasa. I just hoped there was a work around at least to only display public albums or something of the like.
3) Will monitor the camera closely as well.
4) Hey thanks all. I got the ringtones set up, but i'll also try Ringdroid etc.
5) This still happens. Everytime I go into Call log for example, and try to call a contact with multiple numbers, I have to always select the number i want as default and tick "use this as default" or something to that effect.
Any help on No. 5?
Might try out another rom soon or might just reinstall CM6 after a clean Sd card and wiping the phone.

No task killer of any kind good sir.
List of user installed apps as follows:
Astro
Astro Bluetooth Module
Astro SMB Module
Barcode Scanner
Bat Stat widget
Beautiful Widgets
Better Cut
Colour note
Dropbox
Easy Money
Launcher Pro Plus
Market Enabler
Real Calc
System Info Widget
Titanium Backup
Wave secure
That's all that i've added, but as I said it did happen to me on 2.2 as well.
Nevertheless.I'll be monitoring it too.
Not turning your phone off overnight are you? It needs to be on for the alarm to work.
Nope. Usually the battery is pretty drained during the day so at night is when I have it charging.
Also note that wave secure usually does its automatic backups when the charger is plugged in. Could that affect it?
I don't see how cause I did happen once on 2.2 but I'm beginning to feel that it was just a fluke.

And people like you should not be given access to the internet.
Another question or maybe issue or maybe both...
While the phone is using data over edge, will I not receive calls?
i find it strange that people have been calling me and I get a text message saying that I have a missed call but my phone never rings. I'm only using EDGE data in my area so could that be the culprit?
Do a test, download something and call your phone at the same time?
@hafis93 - I thought that was very funny. They were even helpful responses. I'm gonna try the .name in a Picasa album to see if that hides it.

yes, while on EDGE, very often if someone calls you it will go directly to voicemail and you wont see the call ring on your end. its just the way it is on some EDGE networks, nothing you can do about it, and its not your phone as all phones would behave that way. sucks.
I've done a complete wipe of everything, Data, Cache Davlik etc and reinstalled Cyan and Gapps.
Everything seems to be fine so far, no force closes or camera failures.
Thanks everyone for the help!
One last thing though. Is there a way to enable the market without having to use Market Enabler? Reason being is that I have to "activate" it everytime for it to work.
I know there is a script on xda that does it but haven't been able to search it.
I have another issue to add to this topic. My apologies in advance if an answer to this is already available, can't seem to find it anywhere though.
When approaching the end of my battery life, my phone may start referring the wrong buttons. For instance, it may pick spacebar on the keyboard while I'm pressing letters above. Or strange response inside the browser like brief vibration or sudden zoom while I'm just trying to scroll down or something. I did experience the same issues in the past on stock build. Is there any sort of fix to this for CM6?
Again my apologies if this has been discussed before.

Hello,
I have been using CM for the last months, and now that the stock froyo rom is here with sense, I was decided to give it a try.
One of the things I have gotten used to in CM is the power control widget with 2G/3G options. I feel like I cant live without that right now, so I am trying to get it back. Has someone being able to do this?
I donwloaded the mod from here, and flash it using rom manager:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/3625-new-power-control-widget-with-one-click-2g3g-toggling/
But no luck, after restarting androud would freeze up after 5 seconds.
Any help? Thank youi!

I'm thinkin the same thing. Guess they have to sort out a new and updated app.
It isn't just that simple... guys at CM modified phone and settings apk for this to work... you can't just replace those two files here in stock FroYo! There are many dependencies. Besides you would at least have to deodex stock ROM but that's just the beginning...
I suspect it needs APIs only present in cyanogenmod. But, perhaps if the API for toggling 3G is discovered (it must be there as there's a HTC widget for this), one could modify the default power control widget.
You mean API call? I doubt that stock HTC ROM has that. Does AOSP have it? From the original author in CM thread you can see that he was waiting for Google to implement that call but they weren't so he modified settings.apk and phone.apk to allow that call...

The HTC ROM must have it (or something similar), since it has a widget for 3G enable/disable. Whether it's accesible or hidden is a different question. And AOSP doesn't have it, obviously.

The call might have the same name, but it calls different aspects of setting. Only that way the same software would produce two different results using the same action on two different ROMs (namely CM and stock HTC). This sounds logical.
Google "switchpro" it is just like the CM froyo power widget but more customizable.
And then what?
We know those widgets but we are talking here that they don't produce the same result on different ROMs... namely CM and stock HTC's.

Where is that widget? does it really switch from 3G to 2G in one click?

I tried it, but when you clicked on the 2G/3G switch icon it takes you the settings, it does not switch in one click, not as good as CM power control widget
As a sequel to my Cyanogen Nighlies thread, I thought it appropriate to create a celebratory post linking to the stable release of 6.1.0 for the Droid Incredible.
Please reply with your experiences, inquiries, and love for one of the smoothest, rock solid ROMs available for your device. I am also open to ideas about what else to include in this OP including links to themes, juicy nuggets of relevant info, or known issues (should we find any that are repeatable).
For now, please enjoy this excellent release, and kick a few pennies up to Koush. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Download link (or just grab it from ROM Manager):
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc&type=stable
Known issues:
-Cyanogen default auto brightness adjusts only once, so moving from light to dark results in protracted dim settings.
-While disconnected from the charger, trackball wake will intermittently fail. This is a known bug and has been filed as such.
-Flash Test does not do anything for applications that don't have a customized setting. It should still blink using the systemwide default green when a real event comes in.
Solution Sets/Workarounds:
To install the new Market and avoid FCs:
1) settings-applications-manage and delete cache for the market
2) wipe cache
3) wipe dalvik cache

Which version do you prefer?
Incredibleks. Best Kernel ever. Seriously, for AOSP Roms, it is the choice. Seriously, overclocking on a snapdragon is pretty pointless. The speed differences are pretty much non-existent.
op link is messed up. you got an emoticon stuck in it
wow.. it took a while but nice to see it make final.. seemed like it was never gonna make it past rc status
I'm on 17 and love it but it appears that different kernels are acting differently on different phones. I was on 18 for a while an noticed that battery life wasn't as great and went back to 17, while other people said that 18 was better than 17 on their phone. Now 19 is out and if you look at the last couple of pages half the posts say that 19 is the best yet for battery and the other half is reporting ridiculous battery loss. You're probably best off getting the most recent one listed on the first post (#18).
Great ROM. I was running the nightly for literally a day only to come back at night and see a stable. This + the Gingerbread theme + Gingerbread Launcher will hold me over until the source drops for GB and we get a port
L.E.D don't work when getting text,mail,etc... other then that runs smooth. Thanx for all the hard work u guys put into these!
One question I have is this: I know how to remove the status bar widgets, but after doing so I'm stuck with that blank space normally occupied by the Verizon Wireless banner. Is there a way to put that back in there so there isn't that gap?
Odd that I want it back I know, but some things I'm just anal about.
Is there anyway to make it so that when you unlock and turn off the screen its instant instead of the fade out effect?

What's the best kernel for 6.1?

What's wrong with the stock kernel? Invisiblek are very solid but going to give koush's stock kernel a try.
On a side note, does anyone know if the stock kernel has smart ass governor on it?
Optical pad wake
Is anyone else having a problem with the optical pad wake only working once in a while? It always works if the phone is charging but if it isn't charging it's like a 30/70 chance of it working. It seems to work if you hold it down for like 5-10 seconds but that sucks.
Does anyone know how to make it so when I install this ROM all of my apps do not auto reinstall from the market...? My old wallpaper from an AOSP i had like 4 months ago still pops up as default also!
Even if I select "do not backup apps with google" it does not work. I have also tried formatting my SD card, and phone storage to no avail...
I want to install this, but everytime I have installed an AOSP ROM and then a theme, it goes haywire because there is some sort of backup file I can't find.

I noticed this as well. Also on lockscreen when phone and messaging tabs ate there the messaging one doesn't open messages. Hope I made sense new to xda forums and trying to help.

There's a bug report for this but no one has been able to fix it. I believe it's the trackpad sleeping when not on the charger.
Sometimes a long press and then a short one works.. sometimes it just works.. other times you have to hold it until the screen comes on..
My power button is broken so I live with the press and hold..

During the first setup, skip when it asks you to set up an account. Then run a google app like Market, GMail, etc. and sign in. Contacts will sync but applications will not.
