Damn, this is mind boggling, just did a clean install of 1.0 and now it suddenly works ?! I really don't understand this, I am sure I had the same segmentation fault error on 1.0 as I now have on 1.1. Tried to take the libs from the 1.0 and it still doesn't fix the problem. This seems like a tough one. I am not sure I will have the time in the next few days for android development but I will try to continue to work on this as soon as I can. Thanks for the info.

Ok, this is a new problem with 1.1, it seems it won't install apps which go to the sd card :( Thanks for the report, looking into this now.

Just using the ROM as is after a full wipe with default kernel and don't get this problem: I started downloading a few apps from the market and went back to home and it was still there :D

Then opened phone app, and entered contacts through there, created a dummy contact with some dummy information, then removed it and went back all the way to the home screen, again still there :D

It seems that SFM has updated his lockscreen update. I am not sure exactly what the new update fixes. I put a link to the old one on the first page, it works perfectly for me including with the reboot menu.

Yes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J.K Nilsson:
Bummer, just got a launcher restart. I used Titanium backup to put Navigon back just to test if it was running with this release but as always with Ginger it FC'd. Then I used Titanium backup to put barcode scanner back to be able to read Navigons QR-code to be routed to the Latest Navigon release on Market. It costed about US$90 so I gave up and pressed home button and I got the white page with HTC in green. I attach the logcat i did immediatly after the launcher was up.

J.K Nilsson
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Thanks for the logcat, unfortunately don't see anything unusual there, your launcher did NOT die. I don't know why you got that white page.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Fix for the installation of apps to the SD card added to the main post:

EDIT: Fix updated and new file has a "_" at the end, this small fix to the fix doesn't seem to matter and I tested the original fix and it seemed to do its work. Still, those who have downloaded the file without the "_" at the end, might want to download the new fix and apply it as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Or not. This doesn't work?!

I will post a new fix as soon as I sort this out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shantur:
I think the problem is because of reboot menu. I tried the latest Lock Screen update from OP of sfm in magic forums and it works well for me. Now it has call receive and end buttons when you receive call.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Like I already said above, I didn't notice SFM updated his lock screen. If you use the lock screen from the main post of this ROM it works well also with the reboot menu.

I did notice at some point, that what SFM updated was that screen when answering the phone, I have prepared an update for this but need to test it and then I will post it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hintay:
The new updata fixed answer call screen. If you flashed old vesion, that will show old "slide down to answer" screen when other call you.

In the new updata, Sebastian is modify com.htc.framework.jar for fixed phone. So I hope you can modify the new com.htc.framework.jar from that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hintay:
That's right. I will wait for your updata.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Posted a fix for the SD installation problem. This is not the cleanest fix but please use it until the next release where I will hopefully manage to fix this properly.

Also posted an updated Htc Salsa lock screen which also slows down your receiving of calls :p :
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
thanks a lot. everything works, and Navitel normally installed.

posed core LV ... all the flying, and the charge holds.

noticed only two things:

- lock screen does not have a Russian (but it's trifle)

- after removing the program, the phone reboots

- and there was a problem with 1.0. I can not set the picture for a contact by editing the contact .. only through the gallery

PS. Many thanks for your work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
With updated lockscreen can we change shortcuts on lockscreen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenke:
yesterday i try either rom and i was led to this conclusion:

the salsa now very unstable, and slow for me, i cant pass the first set up wizard becouse the rom was always reboot, the wildhero is the same but its more stable and faster but both rom is far from the daily use rom.

i hope you can fix them and make it faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fahad123:
actually i wanted to know.. in the previous version i.e 1.0 ... i opened the browser and browsed a website... pressed home and went to messaging.. replied to couple of friends... when i switched back to the browser.. the content was lost and that site reloaded automatically.. i surely don't want that.. please confirm this so i could flash this 1.1 release.. can't wait actually :)

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Yes I agree. I was always pessimistic about the hero hardware carrying gingerbread sense, and haven't changed my mind since then. I still hope to return to the HeroLatte and possibly get something done there. But at the rate things are going now its more likely I'll throw my phone at the wall :p

The 1.0_fixed version had this fixed and had very safe values for killing apps, but this was at the cost of performance. The new version (1.1) tries more balanced values. I can tell you, that unlike the original unfixed 1.0 version, if you just leave the browser and go to the home screen and then back to the browser it does not close. Still, Gingerbread Sense was not designed to run on devices with so little RAM as the hero, so if you do enough stuff your browser will eventually get closed. Its just a matter of free RAM and not much that can be done about this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Brakelseboer:
Too bad the BT problem isn't fixed yet. Or else this would be my new ROM. BT is a must for me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Low available RAM on Hero is the biggest issue. If only we could have virtual RAM on sd card. With class 10 micro sd cards it could work pretty well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
You can, its called swap.... From what I understand even with class 10 cards it behaves very poorly. I don't have a class 10 card but have helped someone test it on a different device with a class 10 card and it slowed down everything. Personally, I tried to enable compcache and that also seems mainly to slow down everything. Still, if anyone succeeds to make it work well I would be happy to hear about it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
That's very disappointing.

To not make this post completely useless here is some feedback.

I'm running your v1.0 with riemervdzee's LV kernel from 17/05/2011 and I'm pretty happy with this setup. I'm using it on daily basis. Setup sync with facebook, twitter, exchange, weather, google, htc hub, disabled news. Kernel OC @710/352, smartas governor, sleep @176/176 conservative. Autokiller setup 30/40/50. I found these to be the most optimal values.

I noticed that setting higher values in autokiller disables sd card mount or it takes nearly 10 min to mount. But yeah, its more kernel related. Running with default values 20/22/24 enables better multi tasking, sd card mounts instantly, but overall ROM performance drops drastically.

I tried Flykernel and I found it nearly unusable with this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fahad123:
Thanks for your reply :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J.K Nilsson:
I've got an launcer restart earlier today. I downloaded aLogcat, needed three tries and pulled a Logcat. When I try to download files from market or from this thread I need to try several times before the download actualy starts.

J.K Nilsson
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Sorry, but at least I don't see anything suspicious in this logcat.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J.K Nilsson:
At least I am trying to back up my complaints. ;)

Anything on the file downloads?

J.K Nilsson
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] I7V:
the new version is stable and smooth thnx for it alot the only problem the wifi connection was better in the previous versions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
I'm just learning, so that if not properly ... Sorry.

After removal of any program the phone reboots.

Here is (hopefully correctly) Logcat.

and "Circular battery Indicator with%" is not correctly installed. Square.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mjcook1984:
Is there anyway to customise what shourtcuts are on the salsa lockscreen. i want to change the email to gmail. Im guessing the answers no but i just wanted to make sure.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beerfly:
I've got strange issue here , on version 1.1. When I try to download skype from the market - it says "download was unsuccessfull , please try again". So , I tried few times , it eventually did downloaded and installed. But .. I've got this issue with Astro file manager , which didn'd download after few attemts. Is there any1 who has experienced this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J.K Nilsson:
I downloaded the XDA PREMIUM App and when returning to the launcher the launcher restarted. I attach the Logcat later.

J.K Nilsson
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aleksas:
Yup, same issue here. Actually, after ~10 times trying no luck installing skype.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J.K Nilsson:
Here it is.

J.K Nilsson
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
From taking a quick look at the logcat, it just looks like an out of memory issue. Seems like you opened quite a few apps and didn't close them after using them, I think at one point 51 apps were running, there's not much erasmux can do about no free RAM. He can keep playing with the values for low memory but eventually it boils down to how many apps you run at once.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Its a bit hard for me to relate to the issues posted here without recreating them. In the last few days didn't even have a working phone on account of my new test build being a total failure and no time to even flash a working ROM.... The logcats posted by people are very short and do NOT contain clues to the what the problem is. I am hoping they do not contain clues because they are too short and either I or someone else will manage to get a longer logcat with more information.

My time for android development is very limited these, I will post any updates when I have them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J.K Nilsson:
Oki, but I havn't opened more than a few apps other than what's opened by the system. The market is one app I know I have opened before this restart and the last one. Other apps I think I have opened in (mostly) all kinds of combinations without any launcher restarts.

I am trying to help out here so please help me helping out.

J.K Nilsson
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am not sure exactly what in that logcat was suspicious to JieeHD, in my eyes everything seems fine, actually too good. Since you posted it as a logcat of a problem I would have liked to see some indication of the problem and clues to what could have caused it.

How do you create this logcat? Because it is very very short relative to the logcats I get with "adb logcat".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J.K Nilsson:
Is there a way of getting a longer logcat or is the length dependending on the situation?

No worries, this is free time and something that supposed to be fun. If I wanted a phone that worked with as little bugs as possible i would revert to a stock Eclair.. :cool:

I think it is wonderfull that I've got a working a Gingerbread sense, the lack of BT isn't something I really miss. I could always use nandroid on those rare ocasions I need it. ;) Thanks for the work so far Erasmux.

J.K Nilsson
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
How are you getting the logcats? I assume not with "adb logcat"? I have never gotten such a short logcat with "adb logcat".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J.K Nilsson:
The first logcat I've posted I used ADB and copied the text from the window to an empety text document. The other two I used the app aLogcat, saved the result to a text file and mailed it to me to be able to put it here.

J.K Nilsson
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] case0:
Havent used a sense rom for a while and I was really looking forward to this but for me it wasn't even near stable enough for me to use. I know it says it's unstable but for me launcher was restarting way too often to be even slightly usable.

Thanks for the rom though, look forward to seeing development on this :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Anyway to change governor and cpu min/max frequencies without SetCpu? It crashes the second i attempt to change settings (windows 7 is misbehaving atm so no adb). Using Las Venturas 0.4.6 (previously LV 19/05, same issue), Superuser works - Nevermind this, CPU Master saved the day. Other than that i only have issues with bluetooth, maps, can't download skins from htc hub (everything else downloads fine) and apps i get from market keep downloading themselves, repeatedly, after they are installed. Overall great ROM, can't find reason to get back to vanilla GB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] I7V:
i noticed that in version .9 there wasn't any program working in the back except htc launcher so i didn't have to use task killer how can i activate this option back? it was really awesome
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
That wasn't a feature LOL.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] I7V:
:D so what was it i want it baaaack :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
An out of memory bug, I think LOL. If we're both talking about the same thing :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Use one of the apps which change the low memory killer thresholds to very high thresholds. This will result in a phone with no multitasking as any background process will get shut off straight away. You won't be able to get SMS and mails or any other background process. Basically its an "awesome" bug which totally cripples your phone. Still its *your* phone so do as you please with it, just please don't ask for any support with this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] I7V:
i didn't know that it has bad side effect .. i thought it killing the not important programs only
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
If only I knew how to do that one :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Ok, got maps fixed and a proper fix for the installing apps to SD. Will test the new build a bit further tomorrow and release it unless I find any critical bugs.

I had one launcher restart, but it really seems that the device ran out of memory at that point. Also had these market problems where I needed a few retries to download apps, but again this doesn't seem like a problem with the ROM - are we sure this is not a problem on googles side? Everything is behaving as best as I see it can. Given we don't have the sources for this ROM, I am not sure how much better can it get. Like I said will continue testing tomorrow and see if I find any new problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shantur:
Wow. Looking forward to this update. Good job.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Brakelseboer:
Still no sign of a working BT?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I have had that market bug with about every rom I have used :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Great news about the maps fix : )

As for the market problem, could be a Google issue but it seems only on this Rom for me. My experience with downloading apps was generally ok with this Rom, but for some reason one app ( titanium back up in this instance ) kept trying to download even tho it was installed. This seemed to occur ( not definate about this ) when signal switching from 2 to 3G or to WiFi. Still, really rate this Rom and appreciate all the work. Thanks : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
often falls off gps.

tried to keep logcat, gives an error: (now the alogcat not working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beerfly:
Got a new bug here (ver 1.0/1.1) - sometimes when I change wifi spots from mine to a friend`s, the wifi driver ot something fails and in the menu when I try to turn it on it says Error. I have to reset everytime to fix it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
+1

With me is opera mobile, everytime reception changes (drop or increase of signal bars, connect to wifi or mobile data) opera starts downloading even if background data is disabled and on airplane mode. Using LV 0.4.6 .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
This is coming on really well! Wish i hadn't sold the Hero now :( and FYI i think BT is going to be a pain in the ass, its not workign on any of the ports (yet) i think its due to the wildfire s having BT 3.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Version 1.2 posted (android RTK mirror still uploading). Mainly fixes the google maps and maybe some other apps crashing because of Opengl incompatibilities.

Hopefully, this will at least not breaking anything which previously worked and will be the "final" version for some time so I can get back to my other projects with the limited time I have for android these days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
great work erasmux, hope this fixes my copilot issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Which OpenGL do you use?

Also media player causes huge latency when listening music. All system responsiveness is nearly to zero. Its like media player having highest task priority. I don't know if it is kernel related or ROM. Did you try using Open SLES, it seems to work very well on GB ROMs, on Feeyo ROMs for sure.

BTW, I'm still on version 1.0 and using LV kernel version from 21.05.11.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kirsebaer:
Thanks for your work, going to test it out. Perhaps I'll send yet another donation your way :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mjcook1984:
ive had this problem since 2.1 roms so i think its definatly something on googles side :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
copilot still not working, it launches fine. but freezes when it gets to the map screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beerfly:
Its fine (1.2) BUUUUT dammit I downloaded skype for almost 10 minutes, WiFi is crawling like a worm:eek:.I'm 2 meters from the ruter. Its fast with another device, but slooooow with this rom. Is there a way to fix this. Its just inconvinient :) And something wired - the bar which is with the buttons for phone , scenes and programs was stuck .. in the right side of the screen - vertically. Thats while the rest of the screen is in normal state , the auto rotation was off - fixed it when I changed the skin. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hameleon_X:
Looks great but, unfortunately, very very very slow :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
interesting.... for me 0.90 was good, 1.1 was very laggy but 1.2 is again nice and smooth... Btw. I'm running it @710MHz, but even without overclock it is fine... I may try to flash LV 0.4.6 kernel later to see how is that combination
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
It's possible to port lockscreen from HeroSalsa to this rom?

In Salsa port we can change shortcuts =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Its on the first post....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
For me SuperUser has worked always, after installing it.. Have you turned of USB-debugging or something? Then you should try turning it on again :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
just waiting for it to reboot, then ill give it a go. i fail to see why usb debugging would affect it though?

edit: didnt work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
With SetCPU it works just fine here. But I see that indeed with ES file explorer it fails, I'll check into it when I have time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
seems to grant a couple of apps root and then fails...

EDIT: got it working! just installed the superuser apk from sebastianfm's superuser + busybox zip, say yes to overwrite it and all should be fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
got HTC hub working!

just install the apks from this zip as you would any other app

http://www.mediafire.com/?wbmmzsxwehyid7t

edit: installs and opens fine, but its just stuck on the loading screen, seems its not picking up anything from the server? strange. im not knowledgeable enough to look into this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Superuser granted root access to Titanium Backup but it doesn't grant me access to SetCPU 2.1.3 ... SetCPU just stands there with a black screen and then it tells me "Root access not detected"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
install the superuser apk from this zip, worked perfect for me! http://www.multiupload.com/B2VSUNOB4U
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beerfly:
Can we use any mount app from the market - I didn'`t install this rom to try YET, thats why I`m just asking if some1 can try this . Anyway this rom rocks, hope devs make it stable asap. Well done guys !!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Thank you ! now SetCPU works :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Added to first post:

Thats weird that is the same Superuser.apk included in the ROM, that would just have it installed on /data/app instead of /system/app. But I'll check it....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mjcook1984:
loving this rom. keep up the great work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
oh bugger! installing that apk let me give root to titanium backup, setcpu and root explorer, but it fcs when trying with root uninstaller now :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Doesn't work here. Really no reason it should, just installs the exact same version to /data/app in addition to the copy which already exists on /system/app.

Basically, you can go to the Applications manager and reset the data for the Superuser app and then you can choose any app to have superuser permissions and it works perfectly. But then if you actually want two apps to have superuser permissions, the second one would just cause superuser to crash :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mjcook1984:
how did you install it for me it only gives the option to uninstall which fails or launch
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirok:
WOW! Thumbs up!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Anyone? :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mjcook1984:
ive been using it for the past 4 hours still playing and setting stuff up but not had any sense restarts so far also seem very smooth for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mjcook1984:
solution for superuser download the market version that works fine for me running setcpu, titainium, auto mem and root explorer no more su crashes

now the only thing i cant get to work is the htc picture frame widget
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kastraverde:
I managed to get SetCPU gain root access after clearing Cache/Data for superuser and stopping superuser.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
It must've been last week when I asked if there would ever be a 2.3 sense rom with working camera and the answer was probably not. Here we are now :) keep up the good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Hi Eras

Again - thank you very much for the update.

I have been running 1.2 since last night (CET) and I have found no problems so far. Been using phone, SMS, maps etc without any problems.

I run 710 mHz ondemand.

Only issue so far is I cant login to HTC Hub - but I think its a HTC problem, because www.htcsense.com is down for maintain)

Best regards,

Henrik

Ps. If I flash Salsa lock screen - can I revert if it get sluggish?
