UPDATE: seems to work fine for most people by just flashing, my phone had different problems.
it does work with this method when having trouble otherwise: wipe, fresh installation of mcr3.1/2, boot and do the setup, flash the clock. a wipe is not mandatory, it has proven to work without a wipe in many cases now. should work on all 1.5 sense roms.
in every case make a nandroid backup before! then flash the zipfile as usual from the recovery menu, no need to delete anything manually before.
who wonders what this is about, from 0:12 in this video. the flipclock was removed by htc in the 2.73 series roms, probably for performance reasons. since (especially) paul and teknologist have done a lot on the performance side it is worth a try IMHO. so far the feedback is good, ppl don't seem to notice an impact on the performance.

animations are always bad to capture in a screenshot. this is the regular 2x4 hero clock widget with the digits flipping over as animation, as it was in the 1.76.x roms. the animation was removed for performance reasons, but since a lot has changed performancewise i think it is worth a try.
i'll see if i can dig up a video. edit: there you go, about 13 seconds in.
just tested it and it works perfectly, and i have network connection

what rom are you using? do you experience any performance lags? do all apps work, i think i had problems with connectbot while the clock was installed?
and we still have to wait for long term results, i hope it doesn't drain the battery...
btw, it is still not working for me, dammit!
the latest Modaco rom 3.1, i wasn't getting any lag switching from screen to screen but i did go back to my back up cause it was abit annoying wait a few seconds to know what the time is, i didn't test all my apps lol all i did was surf the inter-web. All i did was to flash it as an update.zip and for me it worked perfectly

ok, thanks for the feedback. iirc the statusbar shows the correct time immediately after unlocking...
i know but its never the first place i look for it lol, but yes it did totally work for me. If 2.1 wasn't just around the corner I would just keep it in there but i' hoping it might be back in

can confirm here that it is working correctly and have network connection on MCR 3.1. Hopefully battery won't drain over long term
Does this work with any of the more current 2.1 sense Roms? I assume not, but thought it was worth asking

i leave that as an exercise to the reader flashed enough today, going to bed now. nandroid is your friend. my bet: won't work. try wiping, flashing the rom, do the initial setup, then flash the clock. and keep us posted
Flashed, clock still displays, force closes when the flip should happen.

Confirming that it is also working on a rooted stock rom as well. Thanks for your efforts on this very much appriciated
My clock completely disappeared... Its not even in the HTC Widgets anymore... I am using Fresh 1.1....

this was taken from a gsm rom, so i wouldn't expect it to work in a cdma rom. i replied to a thread in the cdma section pointing them here, my guess would be that the procress has to be redone with cdma sources. i can't do this without having access to the running rom.

so i was right you could check logcat for errors, but tbh i don't think there is much that can be done, given the closed source nature of the sense framework.

You lost me, anyways... I am sure this will not work on the CDMA version... If it did, it would of been done already. Thanks though.

ok, the easiest way to say this: the person who wants to try this needs to hold a cdma hero in his hands. the actual device, you can not do it with just the rom.
done already? thought so too...
Heya Folks,
I followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=1 and applied them to the services.jar from the latest build of MIUI.
See the attached flashable .zip file. I strongly suggest making a nandroid backup due to this being my first attempt at doing this. It booted just fine on my device.
Let me know if it works!

I think a bit of clarity is needed here. This mod will only stop Verizon from slowing down your data speeds.
It will NOT help you avoid overage charges.
For example let's say you're on a 250mb a month plan. This mod only ensures that you will get 250mb at unrestrcited speeds. Going over 250mb will still result in an overage charge.
Also, the reason people keep referring to 5gb on their "unlimited" plan is because Verizon starts to throttle data speeds after 5gb of data. That doesn't mean you get charged more, Verizon just slows you down. This mod will prevent that, and only that.
I hope that clears things up.

Heya,
Only way to test would be to run a speedtest.net over your 3g connection before and after flashing. My 3G sucks here so I can't really test it. I followed it step by step going off of the instructions however.
Just curious if anyone tested this? I know the zip works just curious if anyone has played around with it. My 3g sucks where I live so I feel it isn't an accurate test here

I don't think you will notice a difference, I thought this mod pretty disabled throttling after you use 5GB of data in a month

Can't speak for the MIUI, but SR 3.5 showed significant improvements.
Guess it doesn't hurt to give it a shot.
So can this be flashed to any rom? I have a droid x and I am using the Liberty rom.
No, it is ROM specific.
I tried this patch on 1.1.7 N1 services.jar and got a FC in settings>system>Mobile Network settings. Does a similar thing happen on 12.24 Dinc?
No, this particular thread only worked for 12.24 for the incredible...

No, because there is no difference and flashing this on any rom does nothing but break your one settings menu as mentioned.
As has been previously stated this feature is not actively used by verizon, if it was used you would see a notification icon in regards to it when it is enabled as that is part of the code.
This feature was built by google as an option for carriers should a large majority of customers use android devices, but the bottom line is if vzw wants to throttle your data they do it at the account/network level. Not on your device. Any improvement people report from making this change is a complete placebo / fluke or just a fluctuation in their signal quality / network congestion at the time.
I saw people mentioning the V6 supercharger script, and went and found and installed it. However I wasn't sure what setting to use (when it asks for a number between 1-17). Cloud I get some advice from others on that?
Here's the supercharger thread for those interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I'm pretty sure the choice you want is 6 at least that's what I did. Not sure where I saw that, but I think is was from the gingerbread man

6 is what I use with the kernel and 3g tweaks as well and it has made a huge difference. I know others are using that as well on the Hero. I like my performance with no compcahe and jit on. Every phone is different though. I'm doing the animations on fast in spare parts. I am finally using all animations too, not just the window.
Sent from my HERO JBGB
Yeah it definitely improved my phone's performance. I'm going to try disabling compcache and disabling jit (since it was on by default) and see what happens. Maybe further performance increases will ensue.

I have gotten good response from my phone with jit on. I will have to test more with jit off to compare. I did with compcache and found more lagginess on my device, but others have probably have no issue- same with jit as well. I also have asset purging disabled FWIW.
Good luck!

Those are tweaks that cyanogenmod adds to their roms. You aren't seeing them on sense because they aren't there.

Im running v6 update 9 beta 1 and no io tweak. I got the 98 no io just fine when it comes to the v6 i do the run as root and pick 1 for fast scrolling and nothing happens. I just tap menu and leave in background. What the heck am i doing wrong? Or do i tap kill?
I'm not really sure that the 3g tweaks are working. I've tried all the options on the latest release, but nothing seems to change when I run a speedtest. I'm generally around 1k down/600 up. Any ideas on this? I don't know if I need to running run on boot as well or not. . .

Same here. I tried all, even the two "experimental" options and my speed test results are basically identical to what I had before applying any updates.
for the experimental it says "it may or may not make things snappier or do nothing at all" and as too the 3g tweak, did u reboot after installation? you can check your buildprop to see if settings were changed
Yup...did a reboot each time. Would it matter the order in which the other "tweaks" were implemented? I did the 3g, then the v6 supercharger, then the kernal tweak.
But, I'm seeing no benefit at all from the 3g.
Running gb hero deck 1.21 with. 29 kernal and firerat mod as well.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I ran some tests on my 3g speeds and the results were pretty inconclusive. I guess I should have included a test with the 3g tweaks turned off too. Anyway, it was a pretty limited test, but it seems like there isn't much of a difference with any of the 5 settings. I'm not unhappy with the 3g speeds. I just was hoping to get more of a bump with the tweaks.
I ran 10 tests each, using speakeasy.net on my laptop, while tethering to my phone's 3g. I went that route b/c I've read that the speed test app is pretty buggy for GB ROMs. In my experience that is very true b/c my readings are all over the place with that thing.
Turns out the "Fastest" was indeed fastest. But, not by much. Here are my average readings over 10 iterations:
Fastest - 1304 kbps / 464 kbps
Faster - 1299 kbps / 464 kbps
Exp. 2 - 1259 kbps / 339 kbps
Exp. 1 - 1132 kbps / 438 kbps
Fast - 1147 kbps / 390 kbps
The fastest single DL test was on the Experimental 2 and was 2510 kbps (2.51 M)...however, the slowest DL test was also on Exp. 2 (530 kbps). So, that one was all over the place. I guess i just have to accept that the hero isn't gonna be getting 2-3M download speeds with regularity on Sprint's 3g. For now, i'm too stubborn to upgrade, but we'll see how that goes.
As far as the v6 tweaks, i never really had a complaint with this phone since getting rid of that laggy-as-hell stock ROM. CM7, GB deck, and aospCMod have all been really snappy for me...especially when in conjunction with Launcher Pro. I think i'm on the latest radio (2.42.02.10.29). However, i'm not on the latest PRL. I don't know how to change that w/o reverting back to sense. I'm at 60677, currently. Would that make a difference with 3g? I thought that only pertained to the voice signal and roaming...
Im trying to do this too i see there are different updates and versions. Also when i press enter where the heck is the enter button on our hero? Why is it for txt it has a go button and for other things its a back button. Im running standard GB keyboard. I dont know how to finish the V6 if i dont know where to enter.
Does anyone know if the init.d hack used for and the scripts for dx2 work on d3?
When i had my dx2 i had good expierence using navendrobs init.d hack and scripts. They were some good scripts, one also increased 3g speed.
This would be awesome! If someone with the correct knowledge could verify or confirm that this would work.

I would assume it would work as they have *similar* hardware and software, but some things would have to be changed..

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't the 3g one might but other ones probably not, cuz on x2 we had nvidia this is ti-omap (It really depends what scripts)

That makes sense. I was just thinking about the amount of cores. Didn't think about the diff manufacturers. How would one go about trying the 3g one. Does it need init.d hack? If it even works on d3? Or should the script be extracted and be implemented using rom toolbox, script function or something like that?
