[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Wow Cool! Who's running this already?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey, cool!

wonder how it's performance is?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
I will flash it now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Thanks I'm going with Ele's GB 1.9 now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FunkTrooper:
kernel?

What kernel is included in this ROM? Is it in any way overclocked? Should it be replaced with the venerable FlyKernel? Or is it a perfectly optimised Gingerbread kernel that should be left well alone?

Kernel recommendations for this ROM would be extremely appreciated :)

Also, big props to everyone who's worked on this! I'm extremely grateful that my auld Hero's still supported.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
This ROM comes with flykernel-12a with 245-576 freq set as min and max
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] irmantas:
I installed gapps, but can't find google maps anywhere... maybe some one can help me and upload it here?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
You can always download it from the market I believe.

-------------

Note to all others: this is hardly any different than the nightlies.

There are quite a few bugs at it :-/ I got no clue why exactly it is declared as stable for the Hero device
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] irmantas:
No I can not find it on market, because of the country I think :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
The nightly's where more stable then this stable release :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drivexcore:
It seems fair stable. Just really slow and animations seem to drag.

Imah give it a miss. Had it running for 2/3 hours and I've gone back to villan13 just for the pure speed of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FunkTrooper:
There are quite a few bugs actually. Although I'm finding performance to be very good, it often crashes (screen just stays black) when transitioning between screens.

Often dialog boxes don't show up – the screen will dim but the dialog won't appear.

I'm going to perservere for a while though. I really like CyanogenMod ROMs – stock Android, but nicely tweaked. Since the Froyo builds haven't been updated in ages, this is probably worth sticking with, especially if a point release can come soon that fixes some of the little bugs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterBadguy:
Aw man, it's sad to hear that none of the bugfixes we desperately needed appear to be in this release. Hopefully they'll be sorted out in due time, though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheReverend210:
How many people with the invisible menus bug are using compcache?

I turned it onto 18%, and had the bug something rotten. No notification bar menu thing, no apps list in ADW, settings menu broke. I managed to long press home back into the performance menu, turned off compcache, reboot and not one invisible menu since.

With regards to speed, it was terribly slow, so I downloaded and ran the script floating round xda to put the I/O scheduler into noop mode, downloaded SD increase from the market, set it to 2048kb, and just set moderate in autokiller, and everything is smooth now at 576/19mhz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walk.away:
Possibly the worst hero rom I've used.

unable to scroll in some pop up menus.

black screens randomly.

slow slow performance.

What happened? I've been on cronos for a while, but had a nightly about number 20 and that was fine. To credit a developer with being in charge of the hero section and to release this rubbish as a stable rom, with the standard the cyanogen team seem to set themselves is an embarrassment to all their previous work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Agreed, this should not have been released as stable for the Hero. For those looking for a stable Gingerbread ROM you would be better off trying Cronos Ginger, or Elelinux's GB ROM (although I haven't tried that one).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
First I red post title and got very excited, then I red your posts and now I feel like sticking still with stock sense lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prmd142:
the invisible menu bug rears its ugly head once again. is it a hero specific problem or is it a gingerbread specific issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] david.f.girault:
I like it very much!!!

Using this ROM still early beta, compiled from sources. Not a perfect one because of some bug (coming from AOSP) but very usable. Another point: this is the only ROM with FULL sources code available, so it is easily customizable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] david.f.girault:
AOSP gingerbread 2.3.3 specific. Bug appears fast in Hero because of lower graphic memory available in this platform. But, since Nexus One is also impacted, I think Google will solve it (I hope) in their next release, or the cyanogen team of they are faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
The only thing that is really buggin me in CM7 is the blackmenu bug... if that one was not there, I think the rom would 1. perform better 2.make me happy :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pWopp:
I flashed this ROM using ClockworkMod Recovery, first wiping everything and formatting my sdcard without ext-partition. Flashed GAPPS too before the first boot.

First impressions were not that good, menus disappeared, etc. and there was a general sense of lagginess allover the system. At this point I very nearly gave up and restored my backup. But i didn't - instead, I rebooted the phone after each single incident of disappearing menus, FCs, or freezing apps. Surprisingly, this worked out fine in every single case and I couldn't reproduce these problems after the reboots.

So, now the ROM runs smoothly and beautilfully, no lags, nothing disappearing or invisible, no problems whatsoever.

Hopefully things remain this way, too - will report here if not...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
For those having random FC try to do full wipe after 1st boot. It helped me on hawst espresso ROM, which was also plagued by the same problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pWopp:
So... reporting: "No problems whatsoever" lasted a few hours. Back to SNAFU now.

Back to Floyo it is then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirilliz:
i have the same problems, diappearing menus and black screens invarious apps.. hopefully they will fix that, than it would be a great rom, like this not really usabele though :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
The last update really made it worse on the hero then it ever has been. It is to bad...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
GPS update

edit

placed in the wrong forum
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Wrong topic??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
yes :(

it's to early
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I know what you mean.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hydrasworld:
seems to be working ok for me, had one occurrence of menus not appearing too, rebooted and it's been ok since. Overall it seems fine, try it out - you can always go back if you don't like it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Currently flashing will let you know how i get on :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
Yeah working fine for me - more than useable. Only probs is intensive session on tweetcaster - after a while when you press something and the menu should appear, the screen just dims and no menu - hit back and screen brightens again but basically you cant select anything as it just dims screen when you press - a reboot fixes things and only happens after quite a while using it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Seems OK for me, will test over the next few days but not to bad at all.

Bit sluggish every now and again, only 1 black screen but a few reboots and seem to be better now.

Will see how we get on :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gnubot:
It's very unstable. Don't use it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dandandroid:
black menus

same here, i got the black menus once or twice a day..

it got worse over the 10 nightly builds i flashed . i dont recall having those annoying issues in the first few.

hoping for good, i really like CM7
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hannott:
Had a few unscrollable menues the first boot after flashing. Rebooted again and everything worked. No problems after that. This is so much faster than anyhing else I've tried. Lot faster than Speedmachine v3. Graphics draws a lot faster, and menus pop up faster.

Smartass 176 - 652, JIT, Surface Dithering, heap size 32.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
I don't feel it's unusable....its very usable as a ROM, just sometimes you get the black screens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Yes it is indeed usable, but when I want to do something and the menu is not comming up, well that is not what my phone was made for :p soo I dont like it that much,

CM is not really looking into it, cuss noone there really cares about the Hero, The poster of this topic made this post, and I havent seen any reply what so ever, on the CM site, the same thing, Users are the onlyones who are talking about a way to fix it.

Google is being lazy like mad, but hell the Hero is not even supported so why should they give a damn :P

Soo it is up to Elelinux and/or feeyo or what ever dev that there is to fix it,

if you look here you can see not much is changing in the nightlies Nighties changelog
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] majesensei:
The rom is not less usable than others I have tried so far, got the menu and graphics bug with elelinux as well f.e. Might not be the most stable one, but what can you expect when this is one of many phones supported. Gonna switch back to elelinux eventually when the RC moves on, but until then I will use it and think the cyanogen team has delivered a great rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grindboy:
Glad I found this thread. I thought it was just my phone. I've been running cm7 'stable' since it was released and the bugs haven't got any better, I've had issues with the keyboard being invisible AZ well as pop-up menus.

Might try elelinux 1.9 today and see how that goes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
thanks

for pull. I think it is better to have no cyanogen then failing one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
I'm pretty happy with this rom...

The invisible menu's are visible again.

It's been the most stable "nightly" I ever had :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rashidi_zin:
May I know which build are you using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Maybe its version 40 :) Just about to download it myself and try..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
40 is bugged and wont install
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Now working (with V41) :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
The RC :P

CM 7.0

Build GRH78C
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nunggg:
thank you kub
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alijs:
Why this rom pulled out guys??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
There's only 50 posts and I think they're all discussing that the ROM is laggy and buggy, where the nightlys and Ele's rom are far superior ...

It helps to read before posting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alijs:
I read that already,, don't need wise advices..

the question here is to steer things up..

I'm running CM7 RC4.1 on my Milestone & very happy with it.. (though its not officially supported by CM; BIG THANKS KABALDAN)

I'm running Cronos 2.0.1 on my Hero & very happy with it..

I quote (from Cronos):

"09 April 2011 | Cronos Ginger 2.0.0

•

Updated to latest CM Extra. (By CM Team)

• Integrated latest CM source updates. (By CM Team)

"

Its obvious now what do I mean..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
As CM7 for the Hero is buggy etc. while it works ok for other devices. They aren't all the same you know :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu1dry:
OP updated with link to the status of the HTC Hero GSM within CyanogenMod.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
since i don't see the status link... here we go : http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum-0/announcement-16-hero-gsm-cm-7/

it's pissing me off :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
7.0.1 got released with a stable status (even for heroc), but it gives me an error when i try to install...

ok cyanogen just tweeted that :
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu1dry:
It's at the top of the OP...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
no support but 7.0.2 got released as stable...wtf
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
I believe only the other devices got 7.0.2? Or am I reading it wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
wrong : update-cm-7.0.2-Heroc-signed.zip

but here goes my install
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
That is the Hero CMDA version. Coffee time? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
gah... got duped by link in first post

so 55 nightly will be the last for us :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Finnaly a new stable for the HTC Hero GSM :)

Download link for "update-cm-7.1.0-Hero-signed.zip "

Maybe "gu1dry " can change his first post and the Topic :), cause i see no need to start a new topic for this, when there's plenty of pages left in this one :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
The thing is though, Cyanogenmod himself (or a representative with his login credentials) already created a new official thread for 7.1.0 that is clean.

oh well. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I'm pretty sure that thread came up after this guy posted so it was totally the right thing to do ;-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no doubt. but still it wasn't fair not to respond to his question... :-)
[Atrix 4G General] BoogWeed:
What the situation with the Atrix bootloader? Has it been opened/cracked yet?

Sorry to start a new thread but all the existing bootloader related threads are a few months old now... I know Motorola made a few statements a few months back... but I cant find anything solid to go on.

This might be the deal breaker between the Atrix and the Galaxy S II which has just been given a UK release date of 1st May...

Can anyone clarify the situation for me?

Many thanks
[Atrix 4G General] nomisunrider:
Nothing is happening with it. Go with SGS2, pyramid, or g2x
[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
i don't get why people keep making these threads. don't you think if something actually happens there would be an announcement?
[Atrix 4G General] robin48:
He has a right to ask.
[Atrix 4G General] G1-8701:
the devs are currently working on it
[Atrix 4G General] blunted09:
I won't give motorola my money again if this is how they want to be. Hopefully the wonderful devs will crack out soon.
[Atrix 4G General] blunted09:
does anybody know if there has been any progress?
[Atrix 4G General] nomisunrider:
No progress other than a broken dev atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] BoogWeed:
Ouch.. That's gotta hurt..
[Atrix 4G General] anomaly460:
Obviously it hasn't been cracked yet, but even a dev saying they are still optimistic at this point, would mean a lot. To the OP thanks for putting on the flame suit and asking what 99.9% of us were wondering.
[Click General] Android Padawan:
My Tattoo is rooted, nfinity 0.93, Gingerbread 2.3

I used app Remote Desktop to connect laptop keyboard to Tattoo.

But I am told I need the Tattoo to tether / hotspot function first.

Can the Tattoo tether / hotspot? Which app can I use?
[Click General] sunitknandi:
You can use android-wifi-tether. Download it from market or get it from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether

It work very nicely here.
[Click General] roughkoala:
Or use Wireless Tether.

Is free from App Market!
[Click General] Android Padawan:
Hi sunitkandi, I went to your link page. I cannot find htc tattoo. which phone model should i use?
[Click General] Android Padawan:
Hi, I installed it from the market.

But when I try to run it :the application has stopped unexpectedly". everytime.

I have tried reboot but still the same.
[Click General] wormix500:
i also use wireless tether for this circumstances.

did you check with superuser, if wireless tether has root access?

any error-message appears?
[Click General] sunitknandi:
Go to downloads and select the highest version number.

Also you could try www.connectify.me :)
[Click General] Android Padawan:
Ok! I will try. Thank you.
[Click General] Android Padawan:
Yes, it has root access. Managed to get it working already. Thank you so much.
[LG Optimus 2x] novackus:
Hey guys,

I'm fairly new to the modding of Android phones (my previous phone was a TYTN II) and I'm having some problems restoring my backups via Clockwork mod (which is a bit of a pain in the ass for me, as I think you understand).

Ive tried to flash my phone and stuff, but I can't download apps from market/start google talk (I know this is related to eachother) when I have a mdc rom installed. This is not really the problem I'm asking a solution for, but the real problem is, that I can't go back to my old rom and stuff. I have rooted my phone, installed CWM, made a backup, but somehow it keeps freezing at the loading screen of the phone whenever I have restored a backup and reboot the phone.

Atm I have resetted my phone with NVFlash, I have not yet innstalled anything but I still have a backup which I'd like to restore. This is my situation:

LG-P990: Android 2.2.2, Baseband 1035.21_20110315 (I updated this with Paul's update), Kernel 2.6.32.9, Build: FRG83G, LGE version: v10b.

Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong? Did I miss a step in the process? Please help me out!
[LG Optimus 2x] Jakkelomme:
I'm no expert, so you should probably wait for one of them, but I had a similar problem and it's important to do a wipe before installing the ROM. (There's two wipe options, run them both)
[LG Optimus 2x] marco_ch:
please check if the DATE in your settings is correct. the rom I had previously installed was set to MAY and this made it impossible to use gtalk and download roms.

yeah sounds silly, but worth checking :-)

ah well since you have reset already. but maybe you get back in the same situation at one time.
[LG Optimus 2x] novackus:
Thanks for the quick replies.

@Marco_ch: I already tried the date problem, literally went thru 100 of pages to find out what the issue was with the gtalk, but nothing helped, so I'm guessing I made a mistake with the rooting or something...

I already reset, but this is the third time I've reset, I've already tried flashing my device 3 times and each time I end up not being able download apps.

@Jakkelomme: As far as I know there is only 1 wipe option? Reset factory settings? I always do that before I install a rom yes.
[LG Optimus 2x] marco_ch:
well I had the same problem (gtalk, market) but I gave it another shot with this:

http://romkitchen.org/lg/?s=generator

its running brilliantly on my device. have you tried that one yet?
[LG Optimus 2x] novackus:
Tried it a few days ago, when it was anotehr version, might try it again now, thanks. Which options do you suggest (I'm not that much of an expert :P)

Edit: Though i wish someone had a solution for me not being able to restore via CWM!
[LG Optimus 2x] marco_ch:
oh you dont want suggestions from me - I have that device for a couple of days only and dont even know how to properly make a backup

but I chose the following:

EXT 4

Pauls Kernel

Left out all the LG Stuff as I find it kinda useless and laggy

good luck!
[LG Optimus 2x] novackus:
Did everything you asked, installed new version of Romkitchen with the stuff you suggested... Still doesnt download appss. Still stuck at "Starting download...". Help, anyone? :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] novackus:
Nevermind guys, I fixed it. Turned out the problem WAS with date & time. My provider made the date 12/05/'11 instead of 12/04/'11. It was why I couldnt download from the market. Thank you all for helping out anyway :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] madrojo:
Does anyone here managed to install and play Modern Combat 2 in the Milestone??

getting fc's on startup after the "Touch Screen to star"

Thks in advance!

MC SandStorm was my favorite game... and play MC2 is a dream XD
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tomcheng76:
if it is memory problem, use auto memory manager and set 6 60 60 60 60 60 , of coz you need reboot the phone after gaming because everthing is killed: p, for fc, please try complete wipe before flashing
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] madrojo:
Thanks Tom---

but i still having the memory problem... i dont have luck....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zbrochu:
Thats weird im on froyoMOD and I can play modern combat 2 w/o issues...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
GPS problem most likely. Tonnes of threads on this forum explaining how to fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yeah, its a known issue for some people with CM7.

There are a couple different fixes that have worked/not worked for different people. So your mileage may vary. See the thread below, and its also been thoroughly discussed in the CM7 thread.
