Hey all, very new here in the android world. Brand new samsung I have and I would like fix the lag in it. I did do the update to froyo through the kies interface. I hear voodoo is the best to fix the lag with but I have not yet rooted my phone, however, on project voodoo.org they say you don't need to. The update.zip is ready escaping me, not sure what they mean by it. I do know the 3 button recovery mode. Buy I am still a noob at this. Please, any help would vastly appreciated.

I would start by reading the Stickies in the development section. Specifically the READ THIS FIRST one. It has a lot of the information you will need.
Cool man, I'll start there first. Thanx.

NEED SERIOUS HELP WITH CDMA HERO ON SPRINT. After rooting, downloading ROM Manager, & applying various ROM's due to rebooting issue finally was able to apply Cyanogen Mod version: 6.0.0-Heroc but now I'm totally unable to REACTIVATE MY SERVICE ON SPRINT! I sat on hold with Sprint's supposed "Tech Support" last night for not resolution to the issue. I came to the conclusion that Hero won't accept any provisional programming codes. Anyone, anyone, ANYONE know an answer to this issue, experienced the same issue, have an explanation for this issue? I am a former manager with Sprint so not a complete imbecile with phones/computers/techy. devices but this has me completely baffled & stuck using my old HTC Touch Pro until this issue is resolved. Thanks in advance.

Reactivate your service? Were you trying to activate it after rooting and loading cm6?? aosp does not support ## codes...why don't you load the sprint ruu and then activate your phone and then root, flash a custom recovery (use clockwork in the rom manager app you have) and then load cm6

Thanks!
I really appreciate your suggestion and was wondering if the ROM was unequipped to do any carrier provisioning after-the-fact. I'im definitely going to do as you instructed, which had struck me as an option, but, was a little freaked out to start applying different ROMs not in ROM Manager App since for the most part of the week my "Hero" has been inoperable, unprovisioned, or buggy in one way or another. Will attempt this tonight and post-up the outcome!
You could try Fresh 2.4, its a pretty solid sense based rom....let me know if you need anything else

Funny you should mention that, too because I just got done downloading Fresh App. before going to xda to check if anyomore feedback on my post. Thanks, again, for the advice & are going to start on fixing this issue at this very moment.
smathias503
Someone else that I was helping with this same thing flashed the liquid sense rom and got all his missed texts, like I did with fresh then came back to cm6 and everything was fine, so this should solve your problem too, but let me know...
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Should've replied earlier but was too busy celebrating the usage of my Hero, again! Lol! So, did as advised above & did esn swap before flashing to Fresh & no problems. Thinking I want to go to Cyanogen instead but a little weary because of previous issues, any advise, should I give it a shot?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I'm glad I was able to help you! I would not hesitate to go to CM now that you are up and running again, it should flash nice and smooth! Let me know if you need any more help!

Here are the problems ive been facing after upgrading my phones os from 2.1 to 2.2 through ODIN.
1. Glitch in menu scrolling (rough..gets stuck and isint smooth like on 2.1 eclair)
2. Samsung Keyboard capslock double click doesnt make it permanently capital but rather gets it back to typing small letters anew.
3. Home screen doesnt auto-rotate.
4. Alphabets on the right side of contacts, spread horizontally for ease of finding contacts, disappear once i try scrolling on it through my finger.
5. Cant change shortcuts from the default launcher whereas could do so in 2.1 (Eclair)
6. Default Email application doesnt load emails properly. Also when i click on an email to read it and it opens, i try zooming in through pinch technology but it is not at all smooth. Cant scroll emails side by side to read the whole email properly.
Have you guys been facing such similar problems? Please tell me how do i get rid of this? I had contacted a guy from youtube who made videos on stufflike rooting, lagfixing phones and he helped me out thoroughly till this point where my phone really started giving me problems. He doesnt even reply properly to me now. Need you guys to help me out as soon as you can. Any suggestion and advice will be appreciated
is it a costume rom?

Ahh just downloaded xda and checked your reply. Well, it wasn't. It was just a rooted samsung galaxy s before but now my computed engineer actually tweaked with it and got a dell firmware in my sgs lol. It doesn't lag much now but I have to keep rebooting it..because of kernal upload mode randomely making my phones screen go black. I think I probably am waiting for sgs3 to release.

I passed down my hero to my son about 8 months ago after upgrading to the ego. He's been running fresh Rom that I had installed when he inherited it, don't get me wrong, I always thought it was an awesome and extremely stable, fast Rom. I've searched and searched for a more recent stable sense Rom but cannot find any. Does anyone know of anything more recent with most things functional, he's only 12, so it doesn't have to be perfect, just stable enough for every day use. Thank you.

Look at my signature. Try out my 2.1 sense roms. There have been reports that it is the fastest for the heroc. I used them for a long time along with zen's kernel. But i'm sure your son will enjoy the rom.

agreed 100%. FYI in the interest of not misleading the OP by accident, you should edit that to say stock 2.1 (i.e. "eclair"). I know it's built from 2.31.xxxx, just sayin. Also, the "best" sense ROM - although I never really run them - was NFX hero, just my 2 pennies.
I was going to try nfx when the hero was mine but never got around to trying it out. I think I'll give it a test run for my son and see how he likes it. Quick ?, I was going to flash aospcmod, do you have any thoughts on it, is it stable enough for a daily driver for a 12 yr old. Thank you for your suggestions and not flaming me, I'm not new to flashing, just haven't been on the hero forum in awhile since getting the ego.

Well, aospCMod (gingerbread) has been my daily for months. So yeah it's stable, and FAST, but it does have some minor glitches, really minor. Like some people have GPS reboots, but I would guess a 12yr old isn't in need of a nav app. Also randomly the screen will dim and become unresponsive (very rarely) and a reboot fixes it. There might be couple other things, but they're minor enough that I don't remember them. If you're looking for a no-bugs daily, aospmod (froyo) is solid, and again FAST, as is CM6.1 final. Good luck.
Thanks duce, I think I'll give aospmod a run. I really appreciate your help.

Just so you know, and I'm sure you do, those ROMs are not sense based, they AOSP and CM based. They are killer ROMs though.
Yeah, I've ran aosp before. I don't much care for sense myself, was just looking for my son but I think he will enjoy this Rom. I run vaelpak on my evo, its sense but has all aosp mods available for download through his settings app. I also never run the sense launcher either, I've always preferred adw ex myself and that's what I run as my daily. The only thing he may need that from the looks of it is Sprint vvm, I think I can figure out how to set his voicemail up thru Google voice though.

why don't you report the bugs on the thread and logcat it for me then bierce22? i think i know why you didn't....but please do so, so that I can fix them for everyone who likes fast sense roms
then i can fix them asap.
im really not going to get into this again.
and im sorry but if you have to wait 20min just for sense to load than no its not the fastest sense rom ever clearly misleading on your part and why on earth would you recomend a rom that is striped of pretty much everything to someone that is coming from a fresh rom is beyond me.

Nah you're good man. Bierce and kif just need to chill and hug it out. lol.
So i read all these things about different operating systems and things for the phone? you will have to excuse my ignorance as i dont know much about this stuff. What should i br doing to get the full capabilities out of my phone? i switched from iphone 3gs and love the thrill already. some people are refering to thriller? ice cream sandwich?? what are all these terms?
i have some standard apps i cant log into. like my banks and other username pswd sensative apps. is there a setting that i need to change to allow me to log in?
Please help? once again, sorry for the ignorance!
Thriller is a custom rom that some people install in order to make the phone run smoother and to remove a lot of the carrier bloatware and icecream sandwich is the next operating system for android device and as far as your bank check the market maybe they have a app for it u should be able to login from the browser

You can also install LG Optimus 3D Roms too, but you lose 4G. Forgot if they were to fix it. Look around. So yeah anything in Development section will usually be custom Tom's, but you need to install Clockwork Manager on your phone. Follow Designgears tutorial in Dev section. Icecream sandwich will be available probably by December for us.

Have people had any troubles flashing the O3D roms? I like the Thriller rom for us but was wantin to try a new one.
O3D roms will flash but no 4G and usually mms doesn't work even with correct apn. Other than that I think they run just fine.

Literally the only thing that doesn't work is 3D (and probably 4G). Its super stable, great battery life, and is faster than any of the other roms I've tried. For anyone willing to live without 3D its definitely something you can run as a daily driver.
