[ROM-DEV] 04/16/10 | Back from the dead | Coming soon
- Thread starter flipzmode
- Start date
Kill the com.android.phone process and the phone will come back to life, that is about where I got to, unfortunately once you do this you can not make any calls. I think I need to get inside the boot.img now, but I need to setup a Linux VM to keep going with that.
Can u believe it 60+ posts and not a single one about how to root the hero! I think this maybe a first for the cdma hero threads.;D
lol! Hey toastcfh are you on gtalk? PM me your addy if you are. Although I was talking behnam (gsm dev -- very nice guy) and it seems that it might not be possible for us to really make much progress on this rom because we don't have the most up to date kernel available for cdma.
Something to investigate is what/how are some of the CDMA (or Sprint) specific settings/menu items come about, like "Update PRL" or "Update Profile". Hopefully, its not a build specific settings app, but just config files. The "Update Profile" really just sets the username/pw for the data connection (PPP), but I think this data does not really reside within Android, but within the MSM chipset's own data storage, same with the PRL, I wonder if QPST works on this phone, hmm.
The kernel is a major problem. But were hacking up this one to work. Here's an idea for the sensors issue. In our Rom in /system/lib/hw there is a file called sensors.heroc. try swapping that file like we did for the WLAN.lo to get WiFi working. It may work. Also u might have to remove the c from hero on that file
I'm thinking all the set5ings and stuff are loaded through apks and stuff in the app folder. But I also think u may need to remove and uninstall the gsm stuff too.
All the progress I've made has been by comparing the Droid rom dump to this GSM 2.1 Hero dump so for those of you messing with this you might want to check that out.
The Droid dump would be a much easier place for us to start with because it is a CDMA device. The problem is the only rom dumps I can find only consist of the /system/ directory which isn't enough to get it booting on our phone. I'm assuming that the droid hasn't been rooted which is why we don't have a full rom dump available to us.
Hmm, the Moto Droid 2.0 build is set for an OMAP chipset, rather than msm7k, so while the apk's could work, the lib's and other "native" files would probably not work right?
A side question for this newb (me) in compiling Android, where are these ro.cdma.* (found in the Droid's build.prop) properties set?
Good thinking. I searched for the dump lastnight but got side tracked. But yeah root is prolly the issue. Building a .29 kernel for heroc isnt gonna happen very soon. So hacking this one may work but we need a newer kernel. Bad.... anyhow I can't even test my ideas I'm at work.... errr....

from droid system dump
Anyone tried to swap apn-config files? Although in the apn-config it says it must match apninfo.xml. god... I gotta get home
Yup, I did that before I even posted the rom and it didn't help.
I got it to recognize on sprint by changing the follwing in build.prop:
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network = 0to
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network = 4After that it changed from "no service" to "Sprint" and showed my signal. I'm pretty sure that's the change that did it at least. I made a few changes at once. Ha.
Another thing I've noticed is if I try swapping Phone.apk with the one from droid or with our original 1.5 then com.phone still crashes, and on top of that it goes back to "no service". However it doesn't suffer from the memory leak. So that is part of it. I'm going to rip open the apk and see if I can find anything.

What if we try to pull the phone.apk from the GSM Hero 2.1 builds? My theory is maybe the Phone.apk is just the UI and as long as we have the right radio (which we do) it will work. Maybe not but figure it might be worth a shot.

Yeah but I was thinking maybe the Hero phone.apk is different than the Moto apk. I'll try it when I get a chance.
Oh sorry I misread what you said. But pulling it from a HTC 2.1 gsm build? That's what's in there right now. Let me know if you have any success. Toast and I have been gtalking back and forth and trying different things but he's stuck at work so he can't try anything right now. We've made progress as far as saying "ok well that isn't working because of this" but the hard work is making this work with that.

Ok. I thought it might be but wasnt sure. Did we try the phone.apk from the 1.5 Hero we currently have? I cant remember
