Hey guys, just to let you know the attached file may let you have flash 10.1. Not fully tested it yet so I'm not sure. Feel free to try :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JoOoSs:
I have the same problem :/ Many notifications are missing, especially messages notifications. (This morning i received a mail but no notifications appeared)

Anyone else has this issue ? :confused:

EDIT : @JieeHD i installed your apk, when i'm trying to load a page with youtube videos, the browser close itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Wow! Is this only for this rom, only for sense, only for GB or any rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
LOL just thanked you (wrong button!) :p. It's for any ROM, credit to the dev's who made it possible :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
i don't know why i even decided to try this if SMS messages are not working. :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
but thanks anyway, i hope you can get the problems fixed and i'll try again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Hehe, I've posted a lot of posts which should've been thanked, but never were thanked, I don't see how this one deserved a thank, though:-P on topic: flash for ARM v6 seems incredible, will flash when I have time. Who are the holy devs of this feature?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stoosh2:
Hello!

First i want to thank you for your great work! This Rom keeps our hero alive! It runs perfect for me... but the sms bug makes a daily use impossible. I hope it's possible to fix this. I'm looking forward to your next realese!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
LOL they are, it's just due to the Hero's small memory, the SMS app can be kicked out of memory and doesn't notify the user. There's not a lot I can do about it, unfortunately miracles isn't something I'm good at it :p.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
^well, that is weird. I tried to send me a SMS message from another phone and i didn't received it (there were 0 messages in my "inbox").
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
what's wierd he just described how/why that can happen. in fact it's happened on many roms over the last couple years, not just this one. it just happens to be particularly bad on this one.

I get messages sometimes on this rom.

ANYWAY, I discovered that WAZE, the free open source navigation/info sharing/GPS mapping application, works perfectly on this rom!

so the fact that google nav isn't so reliable on this rom isn't a huge deal. WAZE has become an exceptional app over the past few months with huge feature improvements. and it's much lighter on phone resources than google nav, and it's completely free (just have to sign up with them which is also free... and you need to remember your login and password whenever you install the app again on your phone after flashing a new rom...)

cheers

All I need now is a beer and I can be happy with my phone on this rom.

Wow, all I'd need to mess things up now would be if someone were to develope a MIUI rom for the hero or something crazy ass like that! LoL

but no, I know that can't happen... cuz MIUI hasn't been made to build for arm6, the hero's cpu.

one can dream though, can't one? ah, daydreaming of MIUI roms on the gsm hero...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Heh heh. That was an entertaining read, droidkelley. ;) thanks!

Aside from that I am pleasently surprised to hear that waze's feature set has improved. It's been a while since I last used it. Will have to check it out.

Here's to hoping a new ROM or update comes our way soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
i don't want to sound rude or be unthankful but to be honest, a phone with a rom that can't receive SMS's or receives SMS only _sometimes_ is quite useless. I haven't had that kind of problems with older roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
If people have started developing flash for ARM v6 why not MiUi? :-P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Brakelseboer:
You CAN receive sms messages with this ROM. No problem at all. Sometimes the mention on your home screen doesn't work when using a taskiller.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
So as I understand the latest posts here, the only issue/problem with this rom is the (sometimes) missing sms notification? Or are there any other bugs or missing features? What about blue-tooth audio? What about gps reboots? :confused:

Short reply would be really appreciated, as would like to tryout a bleeding-edge sense ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Does anyone know which version of flykernel came with this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
Well, i can NOT receive. Like i said, i sent SMS to my phone and i didn't get notification AND i didn't receive it to my SMS "inbox". But nice to hear it work for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
if you look closely revere forum, you will see that not all of the problem is, and that JieeHD working on correcting this error.

And if you're too lazy to read, then why write?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
OK, like I said I would try I have managed to remove the recent apps from the status bar. I know RCOO already did this (thanks for that) but I have done it in a slightly differently way which I think actually removes the functionality of the recent apps in status bar rather than just hiding them from the status bar. I thought this would reduce the memory consumption of the status bar (which lets face it would be a good thing considering the hero is short of mem. to run GB) but memory use seems to have stayed the same :(

Nevertheless I do feel that that the status bar is a little smoother now. Having said that it may well just be a placebo since I spent quite a long time trying to figure out which part of the instructions I was following were incorrect to get it to work properly! I'll leave you guys to decide if any of you are bothered.

I dont know how to make a flashable zip so I have attached the apk. All you have to do is

adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app

then reboot and it should work fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Here's a Flashable .zip of the file edited by f_padia, If anybody wants to flash it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
I like the ideas but not able flash this using ADB

please gurus make a ZIP file ...appreciate that

Thank

EDIT 1 :: Dr Dre u beat me to this lol thanx

EDIT 2:: Installed ..let you know how this performing ..thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
shut up fanboy. i only mentioned that the rom is not usable if people can't receive SMS messages. I appreciate very much the work JieeHD has done but until the SMS problem gets solved i have to use another rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
Once again, I flashed the kernel and I come to SMS. Maybe it is because of restarting the phone.

PS. Must not shut my mouth.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
*****fight on the forum :0 but yes in the beginning I had some problems with this Rom 2. Sense reloads no text messages random renboots and fc's. Rebooted the phone and never had any problems again only cache is building a lot.. simply go to menu settings SD and storage and there is an option make more on your phone follow the steps and done..

Now lady's don't *****fight. I'm to lazy to read 2 sometimes but try to research your problem before going ERROR :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
not rude.... but definitely only applicable to some people. my sms gets used only very rarely - it costs money and gtalk/gmail is free, so why use sms?

but those rare times I've been sent an sms over the past 3 days I've received everyone of them. It's pretty reliable for me.

but sms is going to be obsolete in a couple years - mark my words... ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hahhaa classic. you're like me. a developer, not a rom builder. you have the skills to work in the code but you don't have the skills to make a flashable zip. just like me LoL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
I don't agree...

For example, in Europe, I have free sms's. I can send up to 750 sms's per day... some friends of mine manage to send 1000...

Therefore, no, SMS won't be obsolete in a couple of years... xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Hehe, I've the skills to make a flashable zip, but no skills at all with the code :-P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
me waitiiii...ng :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
2.5 is up :), wipe of cache and dalvik is all.

Check changelog for what's new in this release.

Enjoy!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
are they free? or do you pay an extra $5 or $10/month to have unlimited sms? we can do that in north america... pay a few bucks extra per month to get unlimited sms. it DOES cost though, where gtalk/gmail doesn't cost any more than the data plan we already have.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
It's a monthly fee. About 12$, free sms's, calls, mms's...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Thanks for the update JieeHD. Out of interest, which statusbar update did you use?

Also I noticed mms process still has oom value of 7. I dont know how you hoped to fix it but if it was by changing oom value I dont think it worked im afraid. I have just set the oom threshold for content providers very low using auto memory manager that seems to do the trick for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I didn't use any status bar update, i prefer having the ROM whole as it was intended by HTC. I changed the page values, no process is given an oom value in the way you see it, so it may have the same oom value but it isn't kicked out of memory by memory hogging processes anymore. I think its unfair to say that what I have done doesn't work when the only information you have is an oom value for the process. Sms works fine for me, if you still have problems I'll have another look.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
The little features I "made" are optional. They will never be part of a rom. The user will flash it if he feels the need to...

So, the status bar that JieeHD releases in his rom is the original one, the lockscreen aswell and the messages app aswell.

Working on the extended version as we speak.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I see. thats cool. I only asked about the statusbar because when I rebooted the status bar didnt have any recent apps in it. Perhaps this was because I had previously installed the modded version? but I thought this would get replaced with the new ROM. anyway that doesnt matter.

Sorry if you took offence to my comment. I didnt mean to offend. I did specifically state in my post that if you had tried to fix the sms issue by changing the oom value then it didnt work because the oom value was still (apparently) the same. I dont think I was out of place to say this given the information I had.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
right, so not free. you do pay for it, jsut like we do here.

gtalk and gmail use IS free. costs nothing extra. hence, sms will eventually go away. also it's technology is, as you've found, very unreliable. there is no "ack" for messages, and no resend on fail. sms is a flawed, old, technology that will go away eventually.

However I know right now some people still use it. I was just speaking about the future.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I have a problem with rc2.5. wifi doesn't work for me any more. this is from an upgrade from rc2. I've reboot, but still just shows "error" when I tap on the enable checkbox.

sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Yeah same here. Flashing lv after ROM fixes it though. I won't suggest what the problem might be in case I offend ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh cool, I'll have to restore it and try that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yup, you have to flash lv4.7 after flashing RC2.5 if you want wifi etc to work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
I guess JieeHD didn't implement the kernel properly. He was having trouble with that the other day.

Anyway, how about the SMS's?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
yes I confirm that too, if we flash LV the Wi-fi is back working

I feel this ROM is quite faster than the previous one!

and a good note that the Internet app stayed open for quite a long time, so memory is much better..

JieeHD seriously man are you developer from HTC and you are hiding it? :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
I still think SMS's are here to stay. In Europe no one uses Gtalk or Gmail.

It's simply not pratical, since in Europe, there isn't such things as data plans. All our phones are bought without them. Plus we don't have wireless everywhere, which explains why we don't use Gtalk and Gmail on our phones instead of SMS's.

Here SMS's are a quick and efficient way of communicating that we can use everywhere, at any time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
can anybody suggest something to remove the animation from htc clock (flip clock)?

it gets stuck to a specific time and has to flip to the current time everytime I unlock the phone

e.g now it always flips from 00:48 even though the time is 01:50+!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Does anyone experience some weird com.google stuff on the all apps menu?

4 items, random icons, open and automatically force close...

Update: Nvm... Fixed =P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
i use gtalk and gmail :P

and im from Europe xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Yeah I know WiFi doesn't work, and I know the reason. I realised last night after I went to bed, I hadn't wrote the symlinks for the kernel modules in the updater-script :p. I'll fix it in the final which will probably be released soon as I don't think there's much more I can do with this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Hi JieeHD

Sounds great.

How about Google Maps Navigation - does that still FC? If so you might add it to the issues in the OP?

And just one thing more - how about apps2sd?

Have a nice day.

Best regards here from Denmark,

Henrik
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
No app2sd ext yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bart79:
Have to disagree as well. Here in the Netherlands providers are all complaining about the drop in sms income, and that can't be because everybody is still using it. Face it, sms is in a decline, gmail, gtalk and especially whatsapp are on the rise and sms is in a decline. Although it will probably never (for a certain amount of never ;)) fully go away.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Re: v2.5

Thanks JieeHD. This version definitely seems more responsive than RC2. I also reinstalled LV Kernel after loading the rom.

B.T.W I must add that the new GB Nightlies are surprisingly good and I am very impressed. Looking forward to your final version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
The FC with google maps. Is a maps problem. Not related to the rom. I have it with ele 2.8 and cronos 2.4 aswell. The 5.5.0 version works fine. I do not know about the 5.7.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well in holland all phones got dataplans. Even the prepaid ones... and year inderdaad sms is oldschool.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] majesensei:
OMG, no WiFi? Why do I always read the bad news after I installed a ROM? :( I'm Roaming so WiFi is my only connection to the internetz right now, think I have to switch back to elelinux, then :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
If you haven't been reading....just flash the latest kernel from riemervdzee again and it'll work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jacky51:
The problem just google navigation and not Google Maps. The image stops after 200 meters with a message and the voice continues, and also without the software image.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Are you sure its a maps problem? I run Elelinux 2.1 with latest version of Google Maps and Navigation is working perfect without any FC

Best regards,

Henrik
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Well, in Portugal, where I live, we score records every year on the amount of SMS's sent with each mobile provider... For me that isn't a decline.

Second, you can't compare Europe with the USA. They have data plans there, which justifies the use of Gtalk... Some countries may have data plans in Europe, even Portugal has them, but you can easily find phones with no data plans, and the data plans only come in the high-end phones... While in the USA you can't find phones without data plans (be it high-end or low-end)!

While, in your country, there are a lot of data-plan free phones, believe me, SMS's won't decline. Either that, or your country/you have Wi-Fi everywhere you go... In that case...

Plus, doesn't using Gtalk, Gmail require a more advanced connection?

You can use 2G just fine for SMS's. You can't use it for Gmail/Gtalk. 2G consumes less battery. Battery is a great deal for me and a lot of people.

Gmail/Gtalk will, obviously, consume a lot more battery. Another reason for me not to use it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
About the FC's with navigation... I mean... Can't you guy's just use another software? I mean... There is so much better around here... CoPilot, Ndrive, and even free alternatives... The obcession with getting everything to work, won't get you guys anywhere, cause not everything will work. It's inevitable. The Hero shouldn't be where it is and you should just be glad such a stable rom exists and works! Stop poking on the most insignificant problems that can be solved easily... I had to adapt some of my stuff aswell so I could use this rom. I did it and didn't complaint.

Another thing: App2SD?

What do you need it for? You can move apps to the SD card... Plus, this rom has a lot of space free... I don't get it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Woohoo! I figured out the problem with CoPilot. Everytime I started the app it would freeze. It turned out the problem was with 'Pico tts' and not CoPilot itself and that was causing it to crash. I have frozen Pico tts with Titanium Backup and copilot seems to be working ok now.

If you have the same problem give it a go and see if it works for you :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Cool ;)

I hate when apps have compatibility issues... It's very hard to determine where the problem is...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Hi

Thanks for your reply. You mention free navigation alternatives to Google - what can you recommend ? I need to have a working Navigation and I would prefer freeware because I only have 4 months to go with my current Hero.

Best regards,

Henrik
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
If you have a data plan you can try waze :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
If you buy a paid GPS software, it will be available on your next phone through the Market, assuming you keep Android.

I don't remember any free GPS apps atm. I've read on a forum about one. It's bookmarked. Have to check.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gnubot:
Can you extract the HTC_IME for CM users? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmooa:
i have been using this on and off since the beginning.i like it so much i always seem to come back to it.

i have read through most of the thread and only found one question regarding the text to speak not working but the post was not answered.

so sorry if this has been answered already but does anybody know how to activate text to speak i go through the settings but nothing is highlighted.

is this a known issue with this rom.

i use a app that speaks the callers name because i cant be near my phone all the time during the day and i know who is calling without looking, but it does not work with this rom. any help would be much appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ah, well that's just portugal. I'm sure there are many countries like that... but it is definitely becoming less common compared to only a couple years ago when sms was the way to communicate with a keypad...

ok, so despite posts from other users (and common knowledge), you're saying only USA has data plans? (by the way I'm Canadian - please don't group me in with the USA by default)

ok, I guess you were wrong in your previous statements in this post then?

ok now I'm really confused... I will quote a post you made previously:

RCOO said "In Europe no one uses Gtalk or Gmail.

It's simply not pratical, since in Europe, there isn't such things as data plans. All our phones are bought without them. "​

oh ok, so it's exactly like it is here then. It sounds like Portugal works exactly as it does here. And yet your country has some record number of SMS use according to you?

One can find non-smartphones here without data plans too, easily. every corner store sells them. but with a smart phone most providers require a data plan, although the occasional provider might have one non-data plan for a specific smart phone just to make sure those rare customers wanting that setup can still purchase from them).

Wrong - as I noted, they are around every corner. I forget the stats, but there is a larger portion of smartphone users compared to non smartphone users now, and that is only after a couple of years of iphone popularity (which spawned popularity in android and others). Of course blackberry has been doing this for eons with their excellent messaging system, also non-sms.

And yet, it is declining.

wouldn't that be nice! :-) it does exist at starbucks and mcdonalds, and at many modern family's homes of course, but still data plans are becoming the norm not just in USA, but also in Canada and many european countries, and in india, and in many parts of Asia. EDIT: and of course you can't get mobile data updates with wifi - such as for google nav or many other similar types of products... which are some of the most important features of smartphones. finding out what's around the corner from where you're standing, like restaurants and such. I don't think that would work with free wifi everywhere. Although I do have to admit - in my small community of Maple Ridge, through the "downtown" core, there is free wifi for all to use. But I think that's an exception, not a rule.

Nope. port 80 or port 443, just like the web. They can transmit over other ports too if available but I wouldn't call alternative port use advanced. Just a standard connection is all that is needed.

Anyhow, this has been fun, and by the way I like the work you've been doing RCOO so none of this is intended to be mean. Just stating facts and finding interesting inconsistencies in your posts that sound like I've made you feel defensive about SMS. I don't see why - it's just a communication protocol. It will eventually disappear. You won't even miss it when it does, unless your day job happens to rely upon income from SMS transmission bandwidth or something :-)

Cheers RCOO
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's a good question, I don't know either. I'd like to know too.

However for navigation now that I'm using WAZE which has it's own built in speech samples, the most important speaking my phone can do has been taken care of. It doesn't speak street names of course, only google nav does that, but the same can be said of some very expensive navigation apps too aside from the free WAZE.

I wonder if vlingo works with this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
agreed 100% (see I'm not all that bad RCOO :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea, you didnt' read my posts earlier in this thread recommending Waze? it's free and really good, at least here in north america.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmooa:
i have tried nearly every rom known to man and this is the only one that has text to speech problem, and of course this has to be my favourite rom.

its the rom i would most like to see completed bug free.

hope the dev keeps up the good work i really appreciate the effort.
