About the USB mounting the SD card, I fell for this too, lol :p. Like Anroslag said, change it in the settings :).

About the settings, I was unable to recreate this problem. Can you be more specific, in which settings screen are we talking about? Do you have a more precise way to recreate the problem?

and finally, "another logcat" of what? If its the wifi hotspot problem, after reviewing your first logcat, I think that first of all the current kernel lacks support for this. I hope this is the only problem (although I doubt it). I will not have time for this today, but next week I'll try to see whats the status with this on Las Venturas.

That depends on your needs. As far as speed and stability go, I think its definitively good for everyday use. Please read the "known problems" on the first post, and see if there is anything critical there for you. For me the most critical current issue is the broken trackball light (like in all the other Sense 2.2+ ROMs).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Yeah, I was trying about to post a logcat for the "usb mounting issue" when I read the reply. :p Hence no new logcat :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
I would be glad if someone can post the Battery stats. I had used the one before (called Herosso) and wasn't that good.

Keep up this good work friends. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I released only one version of Herosso which was a very quick and dirty initial port which was meant as a very premature alpha version.

This version should be much more stable (except for the known bugs and issues on the first post). For my relatively light usage battery life seems to be at the very least decent, probably excellent for a Sense ROM. For example now: unplugged 15h ago, a couple of calls and SMSes, some "playing" with the phone, wifi/data/gps off most of the time, battery @ 91% :).

If you do try this version, and find battery life a problem, please share with us what battery performance you are getting and in what usage scenario and kernel settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
thx a lot for your quick reply erasmux. I'm downloading right now and will share the results here. The most wonderful thing for me is, exchange mail is working on 2.2 sense roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snailydale:
I flashed this earlier and gave it a try. Everything seems to be working fine (except the camera obviously). One thing I have noticed is that typing feels a bit sluggish, the text seems to be a bit behind whatever is typed and sometimes short presses are logged as long presses.

I don't have any weather updates either :confused:

Well those are the only problems I've had, so keep up the good work guys :)

P.S. Not sure if anyone else got this but the camera works for a second in some weird negative-looking effect. It actually looks quite cool (I wonder if anyone could get that to work properly :cool: )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
First about the weather updates, I do have weather updates so don't know what to tell you. I hope its just a temporary problem. Anyone else suffering from this?

About the keyboard lag, personally I do not find any lag in the keyboard. Still I assume that in this case it is because you more sensitive to small lags than I am.

If possible I would like you to try the following:

- Try everything with a few keyboards, try at least both the "Touch Input" and "Android Keyboard" which come with the ROM. This is to make sure its not a problem with a specific keyboard.

- I assume you are using the default kernel with the default settings. In any case to make sure its not a governor problem, I would recommend - only for the testing - to use SetCPU (or similar) to change the governor to performance at the speed of your choice (i.e. 614Mhz is what I use). At the end, remember to change it back to smartass (or any other governor of your choice) or performance will eat your battery.

Make sure the two above points don't solve your problem. If they don't, please try to run the following (if you are using a terminal on the phone itself remove the "adb shell" from the start of the following commands):

adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns=1000000
adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=1000000
adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns=1000000

and see if this makes any difference. Note these changes will go away after a reboot (unless you add them to a init script or something).

I will be interested to know what you find, thanks.

Just a reminder, I will be away for a few days, but I will read all the posts when I get back.

Erasmux,

The recent app bar in the notification bar cannot move to right or left. Do you know how to solved this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
Using this since this morning. Menus & screen are a little bit sluggish. Had some calls, using exchange mail, 3g data (gsm auto mode) always on. On the otherside i installed memorykiller & setcpu. Battery life is more than that i expected for a beta release. Im sure this rom will be one of the best.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Running this now. And for me works like a charm.

Just took a drive with BT audio and BT Phone, and both work. With BT audio, I can usually switch songs with my radio. This time I could not, Maybe its sense related cuss VR13 and ELE2.1 has the same. And after like 10 min, it gets trough.

Not that I need it that badly I am happy with it working and all. I can press next on my phone.

Nice work guys and love to see the new updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
Is there the slightest bit of hope that the camera can be fixed on this port in the future?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
If HTC goes open source, then yes, Else, Likely not :(

EDIT: This is a link to the same Themes as earlier posted but without bubles, I am gonna try them, see how they run.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10620104&postcount=571

EDIT2: These themes all work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
And since I know there's probably no chance of HTC going open source, I guess the camera problem can't be fixed ._.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
I've tried many different camera apps and at one of them i had no freezing. I was able to take a shot but the colours are like negative. The app is called "camera 360" which can be found on the market. Maybe someone can take a look into the app and make it working for us :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Camera360 has a "negative" effect option, if I remember correctly. You should try turning it on to see if you can get a "positive" picture.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
damn, wouldn't that be cool if it worked??

camera360 also happens to be the best camera app for android, so it wouldn't be a sacrifice if it was the only app that worked with this rom.

by the way - I was about to try this rom and this camera app when I remembered that I forgot my phone at home today... :-(

well, someone else try the negative filter in camera360 and see what happens!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
It's been a looong time since I've used a Sense ROM. I must say this ROM is really smooth and looks really nice. I also forgot how much space Sense takes up. I don't usually use apps2SD, but may have to with this ROM. I'll keep playing with it and will report back any issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I've moved every app I possibly can to the SD, but still don't have enough room. :P

The HTC camera app definitely recognizes the camera and even shows the preview from the camera, although the image is seriously messed up. It won't save any pictures, though. I couldn't get Camera360 to run at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I also feel some very temporary sluggishness from time to time. The best example I have found is that relatively rarely for me the keyboard would be quite sluggish for a very short while and then it would go away. I have not found any "consistent" sluggishness and most of the time I am very pleased with the responsiveness of this ROM. This makes it very hard, almost impossible for me to investigate or try to improve sluggishness. If anyone has a more "consistent" sluggishness experience I would like to hear more details about it. You can also try the tweaks from post #79 and see if that helps.

There is still a very small chance I will be able to fix it. I still have a couple of longshot ideas I would like to try when I have the time. Since they are both really a longshot and not sure when I will have the time for this, haven't mentioned them yet, but there is always a chance although a really small one in this case....

This ROM does have the old app2sd method built in. If you have a ext2/3/4 it should use it automatically for the apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Thanks erasmux. The problem was that I didn't have an ext partition on the SD card. At any rate, I've decided to go back to Cronos Ginger. As much as Sense looks really nice, I've found that stock Android is more functional for my uses, for now. I've kept this ROM as a nand backup, though, and will probably check out any future updates you make to it. Great work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] musikenigma:
The flip clock in this rom is flipping or not ? Tks..........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I don't think the flip clock has been flipping since version Android 1.5.... Anyone still have the patch for VR12 so I can see if I can get it to work here as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
RcMix 2.2b (android 2.1) has flip clock.

In topic with this rom you can find zip file with flipclock.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Thanks.

Apparently it seems that this a totally different version of the HTC Clock widget and not just a small patch to smali files like I had hoped. You can try to take the update as is and flash it, possibly it will still work on 2.2.

In any case, note that HTC probably had a good reason to remove this animation - I assume for example battery life is improved in the current implementation. What does it matter anyway, do you really have so much free time in your life to sit and look at your phone until the clock flips :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
Hey erasmux u r the man :). I did the trick and now my hero is much much more responsive and smooth. Thank u very much for the tweak. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Wildfire S rom port has flipclock too. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Yes........ ;)

Edit: Oh wait, before my boss see this. No, realy absolutely no time at all... altho the android phones are always switched on for development... but thats not a good excuse I guess :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brat.haneq:
I would like to start by saying great job! I'm impressed by the things all the Devs and other people are doing to our Hero.

I flashed this ROM yesterday. Fully wiped of course.

Here are my thoughts:

- Sending SMS WORKS

- Calling WORKS

- WIFI WORKS. I tried on WEP network and open hotspot, and everything was just fine.

- Mobile Data WORKS. It shows 3g icon with 2 arrors instead of H icon I was used to using Elelinux 7.1, but it works.

- Charging LED WORKS.

- Backlight (ilumination of keys) [CO[/COLOR]LOR="lime"]WORKS[/COLOR]

- GPS WORKS.. I got fix using Google Maps within few seconds.

- Sensors work, although I haven'ttested them fully. Teeter works ok, screen is rotating when writing SMS in landscape mode (handcent).

- SD mount WORKS.

- Build-in WIFI Hotspot DOESN'T WORK. Tries to initialize, but after few seconds comes back to the setup screen with the checkbox unchecked.

- Camera WORKS..well..sort of. After launching stock camera app I get black screen, no preview whatsoever. But I changed the resolution from 5 Mpix to 3 Mpix and preview was on the screen, but colors were all strange and fuzzy. Same thing with camcorder. After launching the app I have a static image (good colors), which was the first thing the camera saw. After reducing the resolution - I have a preview, with the same problem with colours.

Sometimes I'm able to take the picture, sometimes it freezes with the image on the screen. But using home button helps, no need to rip the battery.

EDIT: it is strange, now I have few seconds preview with 5mpx and took a picture. and after that preview on 3 mpix froze. So it's unstable ;)

If You need some more informatino I would gladly help, I'll test this ROM for a few days. After that I will have to return to a ROM woth working camera, as I use it on regular basis.

I haven't tried flashing Las Venturas kernel, do You think it could help with anything ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Notice that tweaking these parameters is a trade off between throughput (which I like "measuring" using the neocore benchmark), and responsiveness which I mainly try to play around with the phone to get a general impression of.

The "tweak" I suggest in post #79 was just to be sure this is the problem and it will degrade your throughput (i.e. neocore).

The default values of flykernel-12a are:

adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns=2000000
adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=60000000
adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns=5000000

At the time I was very excited by the insane neocore scores these values should give (see the flykernel-12a thread). Unfortunately you pay for this in responsiveness.

Hence the default values for HeroLatte lower the sched_latency_ns to 20ms (which I believe is the most important one):

adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=20000000

If possible, can you please check, first of all if like I suspect changing only sched_latency_ns will give you good responsiveness: (leave the two others at their default values or use the default values I stated above)

adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=2000000

(Don't think there is any meaning to drop it below the sched_min_granularity_ns)

And if indeed it works well for you with sched_latency_ns=2ms (the last command I gave above) but sluggish with the default value of 20ms, can you also try to find what is the highest value which does satisfy you in terms of responsiveness.

If you wish you can also try to run neocore and see the effect of playing with this value on throughput sensitive tasks like 3D gaming.

I am very interested to know which values you find best.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
For typing im gonna stick with this one

adb shell sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=10000000

For me that has the most less lag in typing, and well respons is nice, the 20MS then I got some lag again. The other 2 values are still default.

There is definitly a big difference betwien 20MS and 2 but 10MS is already fine for me, 20MS, then it is a little laggy but not much

1MS then ok then it is snappy like crazy, almost looks like I got a dualcore phone XD

But for me 10MS is doing ok.

And about the cammera, Camera360 looks the same as the pictures a few posts up.

Well atleast we got something.

EDIT: I notice that after a reboot, the rom loses the setings you put down in the Music player, What was turned on, like BT and Wifi. I got no idea if this is something on my end or not :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey tried this rom - very nice! but I coudlnt' stick with it for more than a few minutes because the screen kept darkening unexpectedly to really dim levels and wouldn't come back up to normal usable brightness based on the ambient light sensor - instead I had to lock the screen and unlock it again to brighten it back up which was a pain for games etc where that would kill the app or otherwise screw it up (some games are not screen-off friendly).

if that particular anomaly can be solved then I'd like to try this again - it was a smooth install and very similar to tegro (but 2.2 of course) which is a heck of a good rom.

exciting work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I had the same issue with the screen brightness.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Can you please elaborate? How can I recreate this problem?

Specifically, does it still happen if you disable auto-brightness and use a specified value? Is it effected by the screen timeout time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
hey, maybe this helps in a way:

im using elelinux 2.1 sense rom and somethimes (often after i used the camera) the auto brigthness function disables itself and the screen is set to 100% brightness. maybe its a "sense" related problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I've already switched back to a GB ROM, so sorry, can't be of much help in testing this bug.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] isaac12:
super and nice ROM... please add camera drivers thanks.. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:
omg the first boot take aaaaaaaagees :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Yes, but after the first one it boots pretty quickly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Sure thing, just send me the working camera drivers for Sense 2.2. As you may have noticed no Sense 2.2+ ROM has a working camera because the HTC closed source 2.1 camera drivers are not compatible with Sense 2.2. I have spent endless days if not weeks on this issue, and I am sure many other developers have done so also. So if you have a way to fix the camera in this ROM, I would be very very very extremely insanely happy to hear about it :D.

Yeh like all sense ROMs....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haha, same here! sorry erasmux - we're such hypocrites eh? heh, love the rom, this one issue came up... and bango we're off to the other guy's rom :-)

I'll try that again on teh weekend though if answer to your questions hasn't been revealed by someone else by then.

I can tell you that I wiped all completely (including ext) twice (just because I hate thinking I wipe something but it turns out I mis-clicked). I flashed this rom and booted it up. it came up and did it's thing but right from the start when I left it alone for a bit on one of the setup screens it did the screen dim thing. I think it's supposed to do that - like it screen dims right before it turns off the screen?

anyhow the phone was still responsive and (because I have a habit of not wanting my phone to lock) I quickly tapped the screen to make it brighten again. but no such luck. it responded fine but at what looked like minimum brightness. it had previuosly been nice and bright. I finished setup by peering at the screen like that in the dark. launcher started up, still dark. finally I hit the hang-up button to turn off screen and then unlocked the screen again and it was nice and bright.

I used it for a bit and enjoyed the basic introductory experience (basically like tegro but with 2.2 improvements).

then I put it on my desk to accomplish a tiny bit more real work at my paid job between waiting for my code to break (in beta stage of my project's release). The screen dimmed again after a bit (maybe a minute? which would make sense if it was about to screen off). but it didn't screen off, it just dimmed like that again. I kept using it all dim again to see if it woudl come up again and then I gave up.

sorry I dont' know if I looked at the screen brightness setting - but knowing me I probably did and it was probably set to auto. but that's just a guess based on how I normally setup android.

cheers

Great work u guys hope some how we can get camera
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I definitively do not get this behavior at least not usually. I will try to keep an eye for this issue and see. If it happens rarely I may have not noticed it.

Does anyone else suffer from this? Is there a consistent way to recreate this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Can confirm the "screen dim thing": when the screen is dimming down after one minute there is no way to get back to normal brightness touching the screen -I have to press the "phone" button to switch off the screen and then after turning on again it works ...

Another issue: I wanted to switch to german language, but almost (!) all items are still english.

Beside that: F...ing fast ROM! Unbelievable good work -keep up the support for our hero, please!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Ok finally managed to recreate this "screen dim thing", added to first post:

Like I said, this is a HTC bug, so not much I can do about it without sources for the ROM. I think the ROM is still quite usable, turns out I had it all the time and didn't even notice it :p.

Secondly, about non-English languages: This is a port of a T-mobile ROM (USA), meaning it does not have the translations for the UI to other languages. Again not much I can do about it, I do not have the resources to do all these translations. If one of those people looking at the clock until it flips has the time to translate the UI to their native language and send me the files....

Other than the translation of the Sense UI, it should work fine to select a different locale and should work for apps from the market. If you are missing your locale you can install "MoreLocale 2". Finally regarding the keyboard, I assume that the HTC IME keyboard will also have limited non-english support. I have included the gingerbread keyboard from CM7 so you can try that one (at least for Hebrew and Arabic it seems to work great), or install the keyboard of your choice from the market.

EDIT: regarding "screen dim bug", I see that in the Tegro ROM change log there is "Auto-brightness fixed (now i took sources from stock Hero ROM)", I'll try to dig a bit further into this when I have time. Hopefully this can also be fixed in this ROM as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey, that would be nice eh? :-)

good luck with the fix attempt. if that doesn't work, does the bug exist when not set for auto-brightness? if not then maybe it's better to turn off auto-brightness in this rom and pretend our phones don't have ambient light sensors. I've used plenty of low budget android tablets (like my archos 101) without ambient light sensors and hardly missed the auto-brightness thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Yes it seems this bug is only with auto-brightness, this might be a good workaround for those who find it critical.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pkn3000:
I don't get the h I get 3g on tmobile
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Do you mean only the icon or is it a real problem? Does anyone else see this problem or can confirm that "H" does work for him?

Please take into account that I don't have a data plan at all, so I really have no way to test and work on such problems. Unless you can give me some info to understand where the problems is (i.e. a logcat with some information about the problem or something like this), not much I can do about it.
