I've found volume hacks for the G1 but not for the Hero. HELP!

Looks one may have been over looked and I'm wondering the same thing. I know in my old WM phones I could use the Audio Lite.cab to increase the volume. New to the Droid stuff but it's WAY better the WM.

Thanks,

I've had my Hero since the day it hit the stores, played with it relentlessly, tweaking settings, trying out widgets etc. etc. Got bored with it about 2 weeks ago. Only complaint was the lag, especially in the landscape keyboard. It was so laggy, you had to wait about 1.5 seconds in between button presses for it to keep up. Started reading up on rooting and flashing roms (as a previous Touch Pro, and current Vogue owner-running android, I have a little bit of knowledge flashing, just not of Android). Got it rooted 2 nights ago, then flashed Fresh 1.0. Last night, after 2 tries and 1 Nandroid restore, I got my SD card partitioned, and Apps2sd2 up and running, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed at the improvement. There is now almost no lag what so ever on my phone (with the exception of running a crap load of apps in background). Even in landscape keyboard, it lags a little at first load up, but after that, it sails like a dream. I can type a fully loaded text message with proper punctuation and everything, and it MIGHT lag once. Right now, I'm like McDonalds - I'm Luvin' It!

I kinda had the same problem I fpund that when I don't have a Ev connection YouTube would say it cannot play, also just turning the phone on and off sometimes helped but I would just say go to the app market and try an find a video app :/

I didn't answer this because it has been answered in another thread. Looks like a lot of work. We aren't even sure it will work. If it does work for you, post your findings for us.

I am pretty sure there is a volume hack in the market place. It costs like a 1.50 though.

Oh, its 1.50 in some other currency. Says it doesnt work on all phones but has a website in the description to check compatibility.
