As I know, if the boot.img was not match the file:/system/lib/modules/modules.sqf , wifi will never start properly.

I modified a Tiad8 version, encountered the same thing. I changed the boot.img and the modules.sqf together to solve this.

PS: I feel cm7 works on the rhodium very slow with poor battery life...

Boot.img and modules.sqf are from latested OMGB kernel update.

You should disable window andimations to increase speed.

Got the solution !!!


Only replace the file attached (View attachment 968147), then wifi will work properly!!

Good luck!

Forget to say that, this file should be under dir /system/lib/ , you may know ah.

So far, not good on a CDMA Rhodium. It goes into a reboot loop, where the phone will just reboot after it gets to the "(acl)" screen for a little bit.

Logcat? Can you post it. Use QtADB. http://qtadb.wordpress.com/

QTADB easy to use. You can use normal adb too.

There is a official HTC HERO CDMA CM7 version. Maybe we can use this as base.

You can find it here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices

Ok, I followed your instructions, and got the CDMA Version ready and installed. This one actually boots up.

I got to the lock screen, but the touch screen's calibration is completely messed up, and when I managed to get it unlocked, ADW Launcher just keeps failing to load, and various other errors are happening.

I attached a Logcat to this post.

replace: /system/lib/hw/gralloc.rhodium.so

maybe you have to rename it to gralloc.heroc.com
