Question - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to use my hero as an mp3 /video player is there a way to remove the phone part of the phone?
If so can someone point me in the right direction please.....

theres no need to remove anything to make it an mp3/video player. all you have to do is have airplane mode on all the time. as far as a good rom for speed, i suggest cm7.2 stable. from there you can customize with any app you want.

Stability problems

I agree, however you will need to experiment with it because my son did just that and he had problems with it being stable after playing a few songs. Don't expect to do much else with it.

No need for airplane mode either. Open up your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
Then scroll down to the bottom and you will see radio. Then disable/turn off the radio.

? i use my heroc for mainly an internet browser, youtube, and music. i've never had it ever lock up on me while playing music in any of the cm7.2 rc's or final. did you or your son v6 supercharge the phone? thats usually the first thing i do.

That only works on a sense based rom. cm/aosp builds don't have the the dialer that supports ##DIAG#

Quite right, I made the mistake of testing in dialer one instead of phone.

It's weird, I hardly bother with the Evo3D forums, but I check it here frequently. I'm on the GNexus with verizon now, it I'm around a bit

it takes a lot of patience on hero I bought my 1st of 2 g1's with that ROM on it and just could not handle it to many hicups. I am sure it was not set up right after learning all that I have learned in a short time. still have hicups but am learning everyday. Best to flash cyan 3.6.5 or JF to start stable and fast ROM's.

flipclock for 1.5 sense roms, now working!

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

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

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.

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...

Blue_Haze Themed Donut ROM 03/26/2010 Taking Requests

The purpose of this thread is to ask questions regarding my Blue_Haze ROM, all information for which can be found here:Blue_Haze.
03/26/2010 v0.5 Posted.
****** Any Requests? I am running out of ideas ******
Oh my gosh, I'm glad to hear that you're doing better.
Welcome back, Dr. Clover. Glad to hear you're doing better. I've always liked Blue_Haze. I may not use it that much anymore, but it's nice to see the progress you've made on it.
Do you have a theme for 2.1?
If I remember correctly, he put Blue_Haze for OpenEclair on hold until it's more stable. I'm sure he'll step in and correct me if I'm wrong though.
I just flashed this themed rom and i got to say i like it a lot ........ But should i chose to go back to stock cm 4.2.15.1 do i need to do a full wipe or can i just flash with cm updater ??? Also i reverted the ram hack thru terminal can i reactivate it thru terminal also?
Wat roms do this work for??

No, since this is built completely from CM's source, a wipe is not needed to go back. To redo the ram hack, just flash the ROM again.

Ew, Symbian. Why would you go for that when everyone knows that God uses an iPhone and therefore all of his underlings should as well. I don't understand why people are always bashing on Steve Gods, without him we wouldn't have such luxuries as phones or life.

it's a possibility, other types of phones running CM6 have had issues finding it in the market or getting it to install. It worked perfect for me this morning when I got my e-mail from Rovio, however both my wife and I still don't have it show up in the market and we are both running CM6 based ROMs.
edit : just a side note, maybe it's just my phone but running the Dopio v3.5 844MHz OC kernel I had to "dumb down" processor to 600 MHz or keep my play time to under 30 min any longer than that would cause the battery to get hot enough to lock up the phone where I had to pull battery and reboot

easier way is to put the .apk on your sd card and install with Astro or another file manager that has an app manager built in

that requires too much work imo, just my preference.
Or you guys can just go to the browser to install it from there.
Either way it's on the app store for free. Even less work. ;p

if you're trying to download using phone, download to computer and either do the adb push or put on sd card and then install with astro. our phones don't like mediafire for some reason... it gives me incomplete even on a very small files (less than 500kb)

Yes. Thought so. I flashed one of espeyl's early ROMs some time back. His ROM was awesome, but this 2g/3g switch is a deal breaker since I am always on 2g (well, kinda lazy to use SAMSERVMODE after every reboot).
