Things appear to be working albeit a bit slow..
I'll keep ya posted

It's good that you got it working. To piggyback on this, The long drawn out method (seems) to no longer be necessary. Now all you should have to do is download the complete package and replace that system.sqsh with the one from 4/7 in the first post of that thread (I believe it is named system0704.sqsh, rename it to just system.sqsh). After that boot up Android and make sure you get into the actual OS (you can see the sense clock) then pull battery, reboot into WM replace rootfs with one that is known to work for CDMA (obviously only if you have a CDMA capable phone Sprint, Verizon. etc.) then reboot. I don't know if the APN config is still necessary as I didn't do a fresh install with this new system.sqsh.

The improvements I have noticed are that you can download and install apps from the market(but you can't search yet) I would just suggest using SlideMe as your market app. And you can install any apk now

Also WIFI seems to be working. I can't confirm because I don't use it.

There is a speed improvement, though on first boot and maybe just everytime you boot the phone response is slow for a minute or two.

Hope this info helps someone.

I can confirm that APN config is NOT necessary , but in my experience the Sense (much like when I tried the HERO in the flesh) was just toooooo slooowwww

I've gone back to the 4/8 Eclair build for now -the speed in that thing has me spoiled.

Thanks for the confirmation!!!

Just curious, when you installed this build did you do a fresh install or did you do overwrites?

Slight update.

Even if you use SlideMe for your market searching, it will still reboot Android (not boot back to WM, you will just be taken back to the HERO screen), that being said I still recommend it over the regular market :-)

That being said it definitely isn't a program issue Klinux said in the other thread that he is already aware of and working on it.

Also I have experienced problems with Android going into a SOD, my (temporary) work around is turning off the backlight options in WM before boot. My buttons stay lit now, but I have no problem waking my device.

I'll be uploading a copy of my sd card soon.

It's a little bit more friendly towards cdma rhodiums (specially sprint) and i want to make its the base version we test on since the original was mostly for gsm. I'm still communicating with Klinux to share all improvements.

You can use the instructions posted to get cdma data. Thats whats always worked for me even with non sense ui builds.

EDIT: This was a fresh installation, I cleared Android off my phone completely except my startup.txt. Thanks for original instructions Jade, I would have had no idea on where to start otherwise.

Actually, last night I streamlined the steps further and it is working. Just keep in mind the long first boot. Instructions for CDMA.

Just do all the file replacing before the first boot. Update to the most recent system.sqsh and replace rootfs with a working CDMA version.

I had CDMA data working immediately and everything that is known to work seemed to be doing fine. I don't think there is a need to wait on replacing the rootfs.

There were some changes to the prop files to see if cdma would be recognized easier. For those of you who have some time and want to test it out, please do so and let me know if cdma data recognize helps.

Ive send the changes to Klinux as well. If we have good results here, then we will included it in the main release.

-bootscreen was changed as well.

I didnt include the kernel version im using. I suggest try the latest from the glemsom builds

Well, this was a weird one. I've put your ZIP on my MicroSD, grabbed latest zImage and Module, ran it, but screwed up on calibration. Sense lock screen came up pretty fast, and I had 2 bars of signal. I couldn't do anything since of calibration screwup. Deleted tscalib file, and HaRET froze. Reformatted the card, re-done the process, and got back into Sense. After that. no signal. Phone is stuck in Airplane mode and won't come out.

Thanks for the update. This is funny because that is the issue we are trying to solve. Was your sim card out ?
