I have rooted and succesfully backed up my original rom I am wandering since I use verizon networks will the roms for sprint be the wrong roms for my phone.I would like a rom that is stable and fast that will let me configure wap mms sms so that i can use my phone on Page Plus which is on verizon networks. THANX
I have been reading that the eris is basically the same phone different skin branded for verizon so will eris roms work on my phone. THANX
Also forgot to mention that my hero came from Alaska Communications Services. I dont know how much different the phone is from others but it looks just like the sprint phone. There website calls it a HERO 200. This should have been further up even though I put it in the header someone might get confused as to what I meant in the heading. I do know the htc sync is different the 1 for sprint would not work so I looked up there site and downloaded from there and it works great. THANX
Hmm seems no one knows or I asked a question no one wants to tackle.
since you backed up your stock rom.. why not just try an eris or a hero rom? whats the worst that could happen? it doesn't work and you restore?
it shouldnt matter what rom u use as long as its for the cdma hero, roms do not affect data unless it specifically says so.
So the rom only changes rom and nothing else. I have been reading on this for only a week and learning by the minute thankyou both for your reply.Beirce22 I noticed you are using cyanogen 7.1 does everything like camera, gps, etc work well for you and how fast is it im ready to start my first rom flash. THANX
yes cyanogen is very stable its been my daily for about a week now and everything works as far as i know.

Hi All. Has anyone run into this and maybe have a solution?
I have tested 5-6 Hero ROMS and 4-5 Cupcake/Donut ROMS in the last week or two. None of the Hero ROM's will send/receive MMS. All of the Cupcake/Donut ROM's work fine as far as MMS goes. Hero always times out when sending, even to myself. I've checked the APN's and they are identical.
When I install a new ROM, I re-format my ext partition, wipe a few times and check for errors, etc., before flashing. The ROM's work as they should, the only consistent issue I have is the MMS. Usually, other people say it works fine for them.
If anyone has any ideas or has experienced this/fixed it, please let me know. I would really appreciate any help. This is a Hero daily use show stopper for me. I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this. At least I hope not!
i not sure i too see some have prob some dont .but im on hero rom right now ,have been for a while .all i have tryed i have no prob with mms at all .i have t mobile .it makes me wonder if it has some thing to do with carrier .not as much as the roms ? but i could be wrong .i have a friend on att and it issues with his mms .
Very strange. I'm on T-Mo also... I use switchrom and can go back and forth and Hero just won't work.
i have had a android phone since the g1 came out with tmobile. I have had to switch to different phone company's because of myself moving. We first had sprint and I had the evo. Now with that phone I had no trouble and I loved it. But because of family they decided to go with At&t. So I got the n1 because at that time they had no real android phone. When I had the evo I never had any trouble with it. I Love you could copy and past Unlike the n1 ... And I noticed when I go to download pictures from the default browser on the n1. It tell me that the download was unsuccessful. Now this is not on all web pages just certain ones. Manly www.asianescapades.com... Now I would fig that with the same operating system I would not have this trouble.. When I use opera I can do most thing with it but still have trouble with opera.
Now with that I was thinking is their a way to flash the evo ROM on the n1 ? or another ROM. With same kind of features. PLEASE HELP ME OUT... email me at [email protected]
Yeah just flash the desire ROM and you got it.
Is their a evo rom and would everything still work on the n1

i have a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708937, im no longer on metro so and havent been in about month. if you've never flashed a moto droid before you have a lot of reading to do. you can start with my thread, and go from there to the howard form link. theres a little more you have to do since metro updated the password change for hudini devices. if your totally lost in my thread go to howard and seek help there, in metro pcs smartphone flashing forum.
thanks have a good day
i was hoping that i didnt have to do that since its already flashed to metro pcs
I hope im not to late to help but all you have to do is find a way to access the apn and then turn it on. You can use an app like better cut or smartbar. I only mention smartbar because thats how I came across the apn
i just got my wifes D1 flashed and works great, all works no issues. well, except that the ROM installed constantly freezes and i am not too sure the issue. seems to be a camera freeze only so may be related to the other things.
is there a 2.2 ROM list that will work better than Chevy's?

..In picking out which is the best droid setup for me.
I was here months back when I setup droid on my Vogue(US Cellular) and over the course of a couple days of trying out different builds and testing, I found that Warm Doughnut was the best working one for me at the time. Unlike the Froyo build on here that I tried, doughnut's data connection worked fine (and right away) without any setup at all whereas I couldn't get it running for the life of me on Froyo.
However, I'm wanting to swap out past doughnut now to a more updated version of Android. Which would you all recommend? I've been reading some good reviews on the Gingerbread build... However, I'm worried about calls/sms/data and all of the other features... Which are working which aren't?
I'd have to have them all working (like current setup on doughnut) to make the switch, else it'll just be pointless for me.
Now I ask the same of the FroYo build on here. Before it worked fine for me, except the data functions... I couldn't get it to connect at all for the life of me.
So, I ask of you all with more experience with this phone than me. What would you suggest? What works for you? Doughnut, Froyo, or Gingerbread?
I want to get Froyo running if I can (about to put it back on and give it a go) but not having a data connection will kill the idea for me. And even better would be if I can get Gingerbread running, but only if I can get in/outgoing calls, sms, data, (gps hopefully) and bluetooth.
Thanks in advance for any/all support you guys can give me!
Superfroyo seems very stable and functional to me. I'm on Sprint. Even MMS works though you have to fiddle with it. Gingerbread's not all there yet stabilitywise.

Thanks for the reply! I felt the same when I tried it out months ago, my only issue is getting the data running... Did you have to fiddle with yours a lot to get it working? I know you're on Sprint and I'm on US Cellular, but from what I can tell the two shouldn't be that different to setup. Maybe I didn't give it enough time/work before to get data running (or maybe I was doing it wrong).
Also, I'm going to be using it from my SD card (like I have previously) for a while and make sure its solid before I think about wiping my WM6.1 off and replacing it altogether. Doughnut worked fine off of the SD card, I'm assuming Froyo will as well? Didn't give it too much time before, but when I did have it going on the SD card before I didn't notice it chugging along at all.
Another thing, do I have to use WM6.5 to get this going, or is it ok using WM6.1 like I am? Would prefer not to have to redo (and backup all that nonsense) for my 6.1 if I don't have to.
I totally wiped windows mobile and run off nand. It's snappy enough and data worked straight off. No fiddling.

Well, got Froyo running... But no data running yet... Enabled Data, enabled data while roaming (roaming majority of the time anyways) and nothing yet...
Ideas anyone?

The typical question is: does it work in winmo?
Hi Peeps,
Can some explain to me why al the non sense custom roms won't have a internet connection with this device and vodafone NL?
I would really like to find a fix for this problem. I quote the maker of the cyanogenmod rom.
"I think part of the problem is the RIL we are using."
Could someone help me get this fixed?
thanx!

Good, then I am not the only one
I really want to use MIUI but the because it wont give me a data connection (3g,H,etc.) stops me from using it further
I checked the "Monitor" app pre-installed with MIUI, and changed some settings with the firewall and the statusbar displayed a 3G icon, but it still didnt work.
Curiously, does it work for other people running MIUI/CM7 on different phones who are on Vodafone NL? I'm trying to understand if it's the radio or something that stock Android doesn't have that Sense/other providers do have. I am pretty sure it would work even if you install ARHD and run the no sense script.
I don't think it's the sense. It's either the radio, ROM kernel (?) or some other config in stock that MIUI/CM7 are picking up that Sense might have overwritten.
It's interesting, really
Works fine for me on Vodafone India but yeah, that doesn't help you
Only one thing to add, Vodafone NL comes in 2 variations: Vodafone NL and Vodafone NL Business which uses a different APN. For me Vodafone NL has not worked on CM7 but Vodafone NL Business does work (due to the SIM having corporate contract I guess)
Hi john,
Thanx for looking into it, i have tried different radio's and roms. Its not the card itself because it works flaweless in the htc legend with cm7.
It must be something that connects the radio with the software.. the developer of cyanogenmod for the incredible S was talking about the RIL (Radio Interface Layer)
cince it's not only a CM 7 problem i guess it has to do with something all the rommakers are using.
serious *yawn* as i mentioned like dozens of time yes it is the ril and yes there is a version from cm for the vodafone nl users, ask attn1 (and no they dont know what it is or how it should be fixxed atm)
end of discussion
lol relax dude, i don't own a incredible S that long and couldn't find anything about it on XDA... After that i asked another dutch users but he didn't know why it was not working..
I created this topic so new users like me can find a answer why a custom rom is not working on their phone at this moment. Hopefully they will crack it.
it's okey problem is most people dont do the research and just start asking, but no biggy...
just do what ive told you before, im sure attn1 is willing to help when he has the time
This problem with the RIL is this just vodafone blocking some RIL or is er a functional problem with this RIL and the vodafone carrier?
I don't know what to do, i would realy like to use a miu of cm rom without the sense.
Can anyone give me a hand? or a push in the right direction?
its the ril that has an issue with vodafone duhh...
its like i said before there is an version from cm that works with it...
so yes other roms are possible also, how? erhm... read back...
sorry for asking but i can't find that build of CM7 not on their website nor on XDA Developers. I just want to know what to do myself to rebuild a rom and make the appropiate changes to the RIL so it wil work.
contact attn1 mate
i have did that multiple times but i get no responsse of attn1
i'll upload some this weekend (not 100% sure which one was it but im sure you can test that out ), i currently switched to kpn cause of some connection problems i was having where im stationed...
finally got time to work on this issue
latest cm7 nightlies (#95) should restore support for this kind of sim
let me know if it work

It works! You're a hero, finally CM on my IncS
Everytime i'm moving in The Hague, i lose my GSM and 3g signal.
Is that a known problem?? I am using Android Revolution HD 1.1.7
To get my signal back i have to go to airplane mode and then log in again with my pin.....
I have this issue on many custom roms on telus too.
how can you flash a new ril?
I'm dealing with the same error. the newest cm7 works fine. The revolution roms as well. (BTW I haven't noticed any issues in the Hague. as soon as 3g dropped all my colleague's 3g dropped as well on their Iphones.)
Unfortunately mobile network isn't working on most of the fancy 3.5 sense roms.
I posted about the vodafone issue in one of the sense 3.5 threads and got this reply as solution. Could anyone confirm whether these steps solved the problem?

Found this might help you
This is actually simple to fix. My girlfriends phone was doing this a bit ago. After a bit of tinkering I found this to work. 1. Shut down your phone 2. Carefully remove the battery cover and battery from the phone. 3. Using a toothpick or something similar, depress the clip holding the Verizon/vodafone sim card in place and remove the card. 4. Replace your battery and turn the phone back on. 5. Wait about a minute, the phone may display a message saying somehting along the lines of "no sim card found, switching to CDMA" or something similar. 6. Turn the phone back off, remove the battery and replace the sim card 7. Completely re-assemble the phone and turn it back on. 8. Your phone should now show that you have Verizon as your carrier and all your phones functions should be restored.
Hope this works as well for you guys as it did for me.
I assume this is some sort of error with the phone recognizing which network is its default carrier. I also assume that verizon has some ort of deal with vodafone, a carrier in the Netherlands, that allows some of there phones to access vodafones gsm network if the verizon customer happens to be travelling. That would explain why they have a vodafone sim card in some of these phones. from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
