HTC SuperHero with Cyanogenmod Slowing Down :-(

The last few days my phone slowed down to a screeching halt.  I had no idea why.  Everything was sluggish.  I tried modifying Launcher Pro settings, removing Handcent, removing ShapeWriter, clearing the Dalvik Cache...nothing seemed to work!  Luckily the CyanogenMod forums came through once again.

The Solution:
Download "GPS Status," press the menu buttons and choose tools.  Select manage a GPS State.  Reset the GPS then download the data again.

After I did this my phone was instantaneously fast again. The SuperHero is back!

This app is also great for speeding up the time it takes your phone's GPS to lock on.  It will dramatically decrease your lock on time as well as help to ensure that you have a strong signal.

Features of a Rooted Hero

In my last post I gave pretty specific instructions on how to root your Sprint HTC Hero. I know it was a fair amount to read but I just wanted to make sure that everything was clear. If anything remains fuzzy please feel free to leave a comment and I promise to get back to you and help you the best that I can.

With all of that reading, I know there are still some skeptics out there or those of you who are just still a little hesitant about rooting. To help get those people over the hesitant hump I decided to make a video displaying what it's like once you root your Hero. I will warn you though, flashing new ROMs is ADDICTIVE! And I'm not the only one. Within 5 days of making the video below I had already flashed a new ROM haha. My advice is to find one that works for you, meaning minimal problems, and then stick with it. I only flashed a new one because the newer Cyanogen Mods have the power control widget built into the pulldown bar so that you have quick access to it.
