CyanogenMod-6 for Hero V6.0.0 - RC1

[andygu3]

Try flashing the 817,wipe davlik cache and cache. Then reboot phone, then flash the uncapped, reboot. Working great

I've flashed the uncapped kernel, but when I open the oc widget 691 is still the highest speed available

how are you guys getting into the 700's?

Did anyone experience SMALL lag and slower data speeds before applying the overclock zips and JIT? I'm thinking of getting the overclock zip to see if it may change my situation. I'm getting a little lag but also my signal indicator doesn't go up about 2 bars even tho I know I'm in an area where I get full signal. Also when I did a speed test with RC1, my data speeds are terrible, getting only .300+ kbps DL speed...

I tried that and it locked up my phone as soon as I set it to 768.
I am reseting my phone and will try again later.

One problem I'm having is with Swype. It works fine, but when I shut the phone down and reboot, Swype is disabled. I have to go into the keyboard settings and re-enable Swype every time I restart the phone. Anyone else have this happen?

I'm not using Swype but my wife uses it. She's running cSrOm and the same thing happens to her. The way I tell her to fix it is, long press on text and wait till you see the input method, hit android keyboard. Let it reset and wait til keyboard pops up and then long press, input method and press on Swype. Maybe a little easier

Did you use the auto detect speeds?
There is a setting in oc widget for setting your own speeds.
Try flashing this as well.

thanks, I went back, and found the detect frequencies option, running at 710 now, may bump it up some more later

I believe what jwpilly MEANT to say to my request was:

Flash the ROM.
Flash the VVM file found here: xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM] Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Testing For Hero CDMA
Flash Google

It seems to be working for me, so far...

Flashed this rom today and it is awesome. One thing...does anybody else get text messages with their VVM? If so, how did you stop the text messages?

So last night I flashed the vvm zip, and this morning I turned the wifi on quick to check my email (I don't have good service at my house...) then left for work and tried to turn the mobile network on and it would not connect. I had to run a nandroid restore to get the mobile network running. I tried airplane mode and all the other tricks I've read about... nothing worked to get the data connection going. I was highly confuzzled. Anyone else experience this?


<EDIT>

So I was an idiot, and apparently should wait until I am fully awake in the am before messing with my phone... The Wifi was on and I didn't turn it off before I tried to enable the mobile network. Sooooo, problem solved.

Thanks, but the problem was that it didn't even show up as an input method choice. I'd have to keep going back to Settings to enable it and then long press on an empty text field. Fixed it by moving the app to the phone instead of SD. But thanks!

Yup, this happens to me too. I read somewhere that if you use handcent and place that phone number on the blacklist, you won't receive the text message.

Remove the Google voice app to stop those messages

 

[Neo31697]

Will removing the google voice also stop that annoying new voice mail message notification every time i go in and out of service? Even though i don't have a voice mail?

Question for those running CM6: It is Sense-less, right? Have you tried running wireless tether with WEP encryption?

It seems the wireless tether developers think it is Sense that is preventing WEP from working with wireless tether on HTC phones:

Why does WEP-encryption not work on my phone?
Wireless interfaces of almost all HTC-devices which are sold by HTC (these devices are coming with the so called "Sense" user interface) don't seem to support WEP-encryption in ad-hoc mode. We developers don't have such devices available for testing. So, if you have found any solution regarding this problem - please let us know.

 

[Danokan]

Do you have to have the SD card partitioned to have apps2sd working like the other roms?

It is an AOSP rom, no sense

I have not tried wireless tether, do you have the stock kernal with RC 1 or did you flash the uncapped?

Yeah, that's why I'm thinking that WEP might work.

Neither. I'm running Fresh 2.3.3. I've been waiting for CM6 to become closer to final before flashing it. But if WEP works on CM6, that might be a reason to take the plunge now.

I will try it out, what do you want me to look for exactly?

Thanks. Launch wireless tether, enable WEP, enter a passphrase, and then turn on tether, and see if you can connect to it with a computer and surf the web.

If I do the above without enabling WEP, it works fine. But when I turn on WEP, I never get prompted to enter the passphrase, there is no notification of a client connecting to the phone, and I'm unable to surf the web.

Looks like everything good, fine here

 

[andygu3]

Just for the future reference, if you decide to flash RC1, I believe the stock kernal is good for wifi, but if you decide to flash the uncapped kernal there might be some issues with wifi. Just look at this first and browse through [Kernel] UncappedKernel for CM6 {GPL} - xda-developers

 

[Thaxis]

Is anyone else having a problem with widgets loading?
It is usually happens after a reboot or after syncing to computer. Then I have to reinstall the app to get the widget back.

Thanks for checking on that. I guess I'll move to CM6 soon.

 

[toomuchgame441]

Wait... is there a difference between RC1 and CM6?
