[Q] Ok... Some help please? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, I have my hero, but I'm getting tired of it. The keyboard lags, scrolling lags, basically everything lags. What are the best settings for no lag?(what is a good keyboard that doesnt lag) What is a good rom for the htc hero that doesnt lag much? OR: How do I stop LiGux from lagging? Also, what folders/files are ok to erase on my hero? Thanks in advance.

I've always used the latest Cyanogen and took out every single graphic enhancer.

Unfortunately the hero is pretty much dead. Someone should do a port of iceboxs shpongle ROM for the hero gsm. Maybe I'll look into doing it.

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.

I'm not a pro, but have you tried to flash another rom? I can't use 2.1 ROMs on my phone so I use Gumbo 1.5c and its fast as hell. Do a Nand backup and flash different roms till you find one you like. Restoring is so easy you really dont have much to worry about.

I LOVE my touch now

I just thought I'd mention this even though its a little off topic, but I love my Touch now with 2.2 on it. It does absolutely everything I ever wanted a phone to do, the app market is full of awesome and useful apps, super stable, and my god, the battery life is out of this world. I only wish it had a glass capacitive screen to be a little more scratch resistant and finger friendly. I'd never get rid of it when my contract is up next March if it had that.
I wanted to give a shout out to all the devs and dedicated testers to put the Vogue back on the cutting edge.
Which Release are you running? is DZO or Incubus?

Incubus RLS9. But not for any good reason really. It was just the last 2.2 I installed and called it perfect at that point. I've probably flashed my phone 30 times so I needed to find something that worked and stick with it before I wore out the NAND.
I'm considering buying a cheap used Touch to try this out instead of the phone I am using now on Sprint. How well does Android work on the Touch? Are there any downsides or things that don't work? What's the battery life like?
Thanks!

You should try it.
Everything works except for camcorder. Battery lasts a full day easily.
What's your current phone?
believe it or not I am running 2.1 because it allows me to send mms on sprint. RLS3 allowed me to but something changed in the other builds and I cant mms anymore.

Just keep in mind the screen is small and text input without the stylus can be annoying in portrait mode sometimes. But other than that, ace has it right. Everything works cept camcorder though I never used that myself so I don't care.

yea Incubus posted an RIL that had the old APNs settings so it didnt disappear i was able to send mms with it like that. if i get a chance i will upload it if not i know there was a thread about it a little while back
I'm running the themed release10 with the new NBH file and I LOVE it. Other than the GPS (verizon issue...) it's perfect. I am very grateful that people are spending the time to make this phone so much better!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude don't give up. The gps on vzw is fixable. Have you tried the fix listed in the faq thread. Worked for me. Sry for the punctuation my touch pro kbd isn't working all the way in xdandroid.

I am currently using a Palm Treo 755p so I am completely new to this. In terms of functionality, what is the difference between running it from the SD card and doing the NAND method. The SD install seemed pretty straightforward and the NAND version seemed more complicated. I am pretty tech savvy but have never installed a new OS on a mobile phone before. Can anyone provide a link to a simple straightforward instructions for installing via NAND? Also, which release should I be installing? I see people talking about more than one.
Thanks so much for your help!
Awesome. I'm getting a used touch [$50 ftw] for Froyo on it. Thanks a lot to everyone who posted.
Just a small thing, does SMS work as it should? I'm pretty much intending to make the Touch my No.1 phone, and SMS is a major factor. So, all apps work, including Wi-Fi? Impossible.
The touch does not have wifi capabilities , but SMS works great!

Yeah, I've been testing Vogue roms for quite some time now. 2.2 is easily the best on the vogue. The improvements made to the OS made the whole thing faster and more efficient. Battery life is through the roof comparatively as is speed.

psx4droid

just bought it. i think it just came out today. went in the application and clicked on "download rom" downloaded silent hill. 8 parts and there in rar format and 40mb each :O but when i click on "PSX bios file" it wont let me load the rar. doesnt even show it. it says "you must specify a bios file(normally named scph1001.bin)" i have no clue what to do. any idea????? thanks
Find a bios file online and set that as the bios in the emulator and u should be good to go. Try freeroms.com or just google psx bios. Be careful tho lots of bad files out there.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Yeah, just google scph1001.bin and when it asks for the BIOS, load it.
hey thanks guys for your help. i got it to work. tomatosoup was having the same problem. i loaded up the bios then hit menu and loaded up the iso and it didnt work, just quickly exited out. so i hit home and killed the app with a task killer and loaded the app back up and instead of clicking on the bios i clicked on the iso and it loaded right up. took a sec but it loaded.
Right on man let us know how it works for you. I hope its good cuz I may purchase it myself.

Evo's processor is a bit faster than ours (even with ours oc'd )
I don't know what graphics setup it has, but I'm guessing it is better as well.

Just when i setup KA6 . Thank you, gonna flash it now just for the sake of it.Will see in the morning how it behaves.
Wow!
All I have to say is whow, hold up your going to fast for me!
This is by far the fastest rom I have used on the Vibrant thus far. The response is just insane. Only had it 30 minutes or so so I can't say the battery life will be great.
The radio on this is insane, gps lock in like 10 seconds and within a minute on the tester was a 6m accuracy in a car doing well past the speed limit, I wasn't driving . The speed of the web browser is the fastest experience as well on the Vibrant.
I will say I tried going to Trigger twice but it wouldn't show the launcher at all, I couldn't get it fixed and in a moment of desperation tried this and I think it was fate.
Well done and many thanks!
PS: The Einherjar Dev Team is lucky to have you and if this is the product you can put out, man this dev team is the new hotness. I was already in love with Pepperkake and haven't found a rom till this one that I liked as much.

Hey, I've been using this rom since last night and so far everything is running smooth and stable.
I did not ask him what the deal was, to be honest a bad odin flash might be what did it. However I re odined and reflashed and it did the same thing. I was at work and it was coming up shift end time so I was just trying to get something working for the ride home, plus was waiting for a call from the wife.
My only request is an accurate battery mod with some wicked graphic like the circle that changes colors.
For now and the past 3 roms I've had I just used a widget out of the market so no big deal. Debating whether I want the wifi calling, before at my house I didn't get the best reception, call from wife once i got home was steller quality and no breakup so I think in all honesty the radio may have done the trick and may not require the wifi calling afterall. Plus I'm worried what it might do to this screeching performance.

You're absolutely right about the radio. I found the early versions of the Wifi calling app to be a resource hog, which is why I remove it from this build, and have always removed it from my personal builds. As far as the accurate batery mod, I'm sure that cooking up somewhere. I'm planning on taking some time this weekend to jump into framework modification and theming, so I can start bringing these things to the builds myself. Until then, we have to wait on our wonderful community here to provide us with the mods when new versions drop.

The Multiple Lock Screens or Power Menu haven't been ported over yet. Again, a framework thing. I'm learning as I'm going and will eventually have all of these worked into an initial release. For now, our boy Whitehawkx has been porting this stuff over with the help of untermensch, for all of our viewing pleasure.

market will update itself, I can add a flashable zip to the op to add back in the Memo.apk. As far as swype, I don't use it personally, UltraKeyboard for me , but I can definitely look into it.
axura zip is missing system/apps for some reason..... can you upload a memo please? thanks!
and the swype is just a suggestion, most people use other keyboards too im guessing.
