Edit: It took a while to update but the debugger is recognizing the phone even when it's in this state. I only have 7mb of free memory. lol. 72% is taken up by "unknown" so yea. Something is eating it up. I'll continue to dig.

What did u do to get it working? Should I ditch my ideas?

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....
