DamageControl v2.09.01 - Final Hero ROM

About the ROM:
This ROM will never be a ROM that is focused on customizations, but more on speed and reliability. I figure that anybody can add whatever mods or themes they want to the ROM and release what they want. I am more focused on providing something solid.

There are a few customized applications that come with this ROM, including DCUpdater (based on CM-updater), from which you can check for the latest updates to the ROM and download them OTA. Take note that these apps can be removed, however they were put in the /system/app directory, so you will likely have to remount as r/w before you remove them. In 2.08, you will also find another application named DConfig. This app allows you to customize the ROM while running it! This will be continually updated, and we hope to get your feedback and ideas about it.

DCUpdater will allow me to release smaller releases in the future that will improve performance and stability, so you can always be sure that your phone is up-to-date with the latest that there is! It comes with dozens of features, all of which I cannot document here.

It should also be noted that I will experimentally start supporting other ROMs based upon mine, by providing them with support and many of the same applications that are in my ROM to them, customized to their ROM. A separate thread will be created about this. However, if you are interested, please contact me via PM. Those with themes that work with my ROM can also PM me as these will also be distributed through this app. ROM developers who base their ROMs off of mine will also get free space on my servers as well as a few more added benefits, such as special access to early releases and other added benefits (a big one is coming in the next few weeks!). Again, this is experimental, but if you are interested, please contact me. You will notice ROMs starting to appear in a week or so with these options.

This ROM also includes a program that will allow you to send bugs straight to me. This will allow me to find problems and fix them as quickly as possible, as well as a way for you to get personal support from me. This app is simply named 'Send Bug Report'.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of DamageControl from 2.0+, you should be able to flash without a wipe. However, I always recommend one for optimal settings.

I know there will be a lot of questions from many of you theme devs about how to get your themes up on my server so that others can easily download them (easy distribution channel), and to do that all you need to do is PM me. I will be offering a service soon that will allow each of you to see analytics of how many people are downloading and using your themes, so I would take advantage of this now.

Keep in mind that DCUpdater will not work and will crash if you are in Disk mode. You need to be disconnected from the computer to update.

To run dcpowertop from the command line, just type in dcpowertop.

Special thanks goes to that special someone who helped me get the leaks in the first place.

Also, special thanks goes to my partner, TrevE. Due to the lack of time because of wedding planning, he has taken on the bulk of the load.

This will be my final Hero ROM, as TrevE and I are moving to bigger and better devices (the Evo). We have some new ideas and have been working on some exciting new things, so if you have an Evo, stay tuned! These projects may also affect the Hero, but we'll see. As of DamageControl 2.09, no more updates to the ROM will be made.

Wipe before flashing!

MANUAL PRL UPDATE

You can try to update your PRL manually using this file.

Using your stock dialer follow these instructions

How to manually update PRL:
1. Download and unzip prl file to storage card
2. Dial ##775#
3. Enter your MSL code
4. Select menu then edit
5. Browse to the location you unzipped the prl file to

DamageControl v2.05 - New Sprint Leak!

This ROM is based off of a NEW Sprint leak - never before seen before! This leak fixes MANY issues, including the trackball light, SMS and MMS light, sync issues, black background on HTC Contacts, PRL Update, Time Without Signal fix and battery life fix, and more!

About the ROM:
This ROM already has apps2sd and memkill settings, so it runs very fast and very smooth! I already trimmed it down a bit, just by removing Footprints, Quickoffice and Teeter. It has already been tested quite a bit by a few different people, and you shouldn't have any booting problems or anything like that if you remember to flash before you wipe. There could be other issues, but we couldn't find any.


Current Bugs:
Internet Sharing doesn't seem to work on older PRIs (use wifi tether!)
Market doesn't show some protected apps for some reason (seems to show most)

Special thanks goes to: avalaunchmods, gbhil, toast, flipz and regaw_leinad for their help with testing and other misc. stuff.

Wipe before flashing!

Changelog:
Coming soon

Coming soon

FAQ:
Why should I upgrade from __________ to this?
This is the closest to 2.1 as is possible at this point, and it's also optimized! It is a very clean build and it fixes a lot of issues. You will enjoy it!

What about protected apps?
Some seem to show and others don't. I am looking into it but it seems like most are there.

How is the battery life?
In initial tests, the battery life seemed to work very well.

What's up with the GSM PRL issue? Is it fixed in this one?

    damageless, congrats! hope you enjoying your wedding. the day goes by fast, try to take it all in and enjoy it. thanks for your work on the ROMs, i'm sure it's less-than-rewarding at times with all the attention. :)

    question for anyone who can field it- 2.08 was my first encounter (just got a hero, my first android device). i upgraded to 2.08.1 with DCUpdater. should I also be able to upgrade to 2.09 with it? 'check for updates' doesn't show anything yet. if it just hasn't been updated (the 'repo' or what have you) np, just wondering if i can wait til it is or if i need to grab the zip and such.

    thanks again damageless!

    I'd imagine it's theoretically possible, though I suspect the devs are missing some source code they need to make it all work together.

    Like smstutler, I'm interested to see what happens when the devs finally get their hands on the source for the new kernel and can start applying some overclocking to it.

    I expect the next month or two will see some nice improvements, just in time for everybody to jump ship and get an EVO. ;)

    Yeah, ill be sticking around. I wanna give the EVO some time on the market first. Plus the hero is doing great and I've enjoyed learning all I have on it. Give the evo a few months, some dev work, and I'll jump ship. But for now, everything being worked on for the hero is great.

    I'm gonna just test JIT out for myself, guess thats the best way to tell. I'm just a sucker for expresso.
