[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Manneman32:
Thx! Good enough for me to try it out....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
JieeHD did you integrate those Dalvik tweaks that you'd previously posted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Have to say thanks and well done. Must have been major work to get here from beta cos the improvements are so obvious. On my wish list for the future would be full reboot menu, I tried wildhero reboot zip but got a lot of fc. A battery percentage mod would be the icing on the cake for me also, but perhaps I should try that myself as apps2sd and other fixes I know you're working on. Thanks again for a great ROM : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Yeah, I added them in this release after I had been testing them out and seen the improvements.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
yep, same thing here, and it aint good

EDIT: I don't think I'm having this problem anymore actually

EDIT: nope, i still am
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
mhhh... even apps dont work in landscape for me -.-" makes it hard to type long mails etc....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
The g-sensor isn't working in this rom, that is why.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
@jieehd ....Just nob question...will we have to wipe everything before RC2 or final release....is this possible in next release to just install as update without wiping data etc...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Is it just me being a noob or is it not possible to change lockscreen individually from wallpaper? If I remember correctly that was possible on stock hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Not possible =\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
Sure thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
Do most settings reset after rebooting to anyone or is it just me?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Hmmm... Strange. My settings don't. But that is not normal.

Exactly what is reset?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmp88:
very slowly...very very slowly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpdpinto:
Another stuff that I found on my phone it's the zoom wich doesn't work while try to take a picture.

Can anyone give me an work around to avoid the split sms when have special characters?

It's pretty anoying spent money on small sms -.- and HandCent runs slowly.

cheers and thumbs up for this huge ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
With reset I meant going back to default..

I get that with auto brightness/ accounts and sync / power saver and more
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CGeyser:
Wifi doesn't work. It won't turn on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I've had to go back to another rom. Yesterday evening my phone just wasn't receiving sms messages!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mizrahav:
Me too,

2 problems,

1. No SMSs

2.Speakerphone for few seconds
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Flash las vegas kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Manneman32:
Same problem with sms
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saiedbaran:
I can not using apps on my sd card what should I do ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
when playing music, it takes about 3 to 4 seconds to wake up the screen !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
For people with sms problems I think I know the problem. The process com.android.mms is getting killed due lack of memory. As this process is required to receive mms/sms messages (I think) if it gets killed and isnt re-started your phone will not receive messages.

To combat this the process needs to have a low OOM (out of memory) number but for some reason in this ROM it is assigned OOM number 7 and comes up as a 'Content Provider'. Usually the OOM thershold for content providers is quite high as it contains things that arent that important to the function of the phone but clearly in this ROM this is not the case.

So to ensure you always receive messages you can either set your OOM threshold for content provider high or set the OOM number for com.android.mms lower. You can do either of these with Auto memory manager (free version on market). I personally have set the OOM number to 2 so it is in the 'secondary server' category which has a very low threshold so that it is almost never killed. The upshot of this is that the phone will have lower memory to distribute to other apps but clearly that is better than not receiving messages!

Hope this helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
My hard drives are being nuked right now so that I can clean install a couple of new OS's. Elelinux has agreed to help me out with the sensors problem which is a huge help, so a big thanks to him. To do with OOM values, I was just testing some, didn't realise that it killed SMS App because it never for me. I'll fix it as soon as my PC is up and running again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rodrickmuir:
keep it up!

Dude! Epic work.. Keep leading the way! I've been following from the beginning and you sure have surpassed all expectations on this one and in great time, if I may add.. Great work! Will sure be following your HC work..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
I don't know why but on my phone this rom is slow like older wersions...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] I7V:
my wi-fi doesn't work say error wt can i do about that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
..

erm...what settings d you use? it depends on what applications do you use. It seems that it still has some problems (sensors and others). Didn't flashed the ROM yet... i am waiting for a LITE version.

BTW, how is the battery life?:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VandaL^:
Zoom doesnt work for everyone or just for me?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] I7V:
i don't know i start using it today but i think it is fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Flash LV kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
yes I had this problem too, I lowered the OOM value and it seems fine now

I am trying to run the ROM with Launcher pro today (having frozen htc sense) to see if I can get more free RAM and it seems to be working a little better.. maybe Internet or heavy apps still do not stay in the background for more than a minute but at least it can cope with the basic stuff.. mind I use Viber too which consumes around 10MB of RAM

a Lite version will definitely help with the memory problems..

on a general note, I am happy with the battery life, I can get a full day with LOTS of use sometimes.. seems that this ROM is consuming less battery than 2.1 when actually using the phone

haven't spoken in phone calls too much tbh in the last couple of days (something which is a big battery hog in 2.1) but still I think it is good!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Clean installation, no apps, no custom settings... Scrolling between screens is laggy, other normal things are laggy, like on earlier versions ;/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
hmm.

1.Use SetCPU and clock the phone @ 691 Mhz

2.Use less widgets

3.Use only some animations

4 I prefer a light version of the rom, so i can use only what i want
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Hi

I tested navigation and it only works for few seconds then I get Force Close.

Tried several times with different clock speeds

Anyone else got navigation working?

Best regards,

Henrik

Ps. I use LV
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Well thanks to the help of elelinux, there should be a new version out tonight which has the following fixes;

- Camera zoom

- Wifi using fly-kernel

- Sensors

So a huge thanks to ele! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] I7V:
thnx alot it worked for me the new virsion so faaast and waiting for the new vision thnx u and erasmux and elelinux u make my hero roooock
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
Good man, sounds awesome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Spoke too soon, camera zoom isn't fixed as of yet. But the other fixes I spoke of are working on both kernels. Don't you just love elelinux?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
holy crap!! I'm running this rom now (the pre-elelinux fixes one) and it kicks serious butt over the older 1.3 version.

with sensors it'll be even better.

camera DOES reset my phone on the second picture taken though so if there are settings I can use that prevent that problem it would be good to know.

haven't tried gps yet other than to run google maps which worked perfectly for the half minute I ran it - gps locked in like 2 seconds which is a record for a new rom I think.

UI is way quicker than it used to be.

oh, and imho running LP or any ohter launcher will use MORE memory since it has to run while rosie (the sense launcher) continues to hold ram in the background. Unless you can find a way to kill rosie. It's not important to me since I'm in love with the new sense and lockscreen :-)

wifi's great. data's great. will try BT shortly.

with ele's assistance to get those new improvements this will be an unbelievable rom for the hero - you guys are doing what I considered the impossible.

Congrats!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Can you release the fix then please? :D i dont care too much for digital zoom. it only degrades images anyway....;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Link for RC2: http://www.multiupload.com/SCPI7GM56T

Uploading to VR just now, should be up in about 5-10 minutes. I recommend you flash LV kernel but it is no longer required, the system just feels smoother with LV.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wipes from rc1? (edit: PLEASE don't say it needs a full wipe.... just cache.... please :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Sorry, should have said. Cache and Dalvik is all that's needed here :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
phew :-) 10chars
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
What are the changes in this release?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Check second post, updated it now :)

Can someone check and tell me if this mirror is working, my DNS is playing up;

Test Mirror
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
what's sad is now we don't have an excuse to use Riemer's kernel :-(

it was fun while it lasted. I'm booting into rc2 with dalvik wipe with stock kernel now.

I'm expecting to be amazed :) ;)

edit: 10 minutes later and still on HTC Quietly Brilliant screen... but then I did have a few extra apps installed... so could be dalvik being recreated still..

getting mildly concerned though... :(

edit2: another 4 minutes and it's alive! so was just doing dalvik rebuild then :D

edit3: ok been sitting on rosie with LOADING... box for several minutes now... :eek:

edit4: LoL spoke to soon again. finally seeing some widgets appear under it. will have to wait for it to settle then reboot to see if things are faster again. so far it's a useless phone for first 20 minutes of operation after flashing rc2. so I can't judge rc2 just yet...

edit5: working-ish. every time I scroll rosie all the way to the left where the weather widget is (and used to work), and I let it load up the weather, it resets rosie.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
maybe there is reason to use Rimers kernel then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Yeah i had that problem during testing, LV is just a better kernel for this ROM imho.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes. it's MUCH smoother with LV I think... so far it's unusable with stock kernel imho with rc2, but might be too early to tell. I've only waited half an hour... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fonzy Bootcamp:
Help! Can't access recovery after booting this ROm. What should I do? :(

I was planning to flash my back up. But I can't access it even after pressing the home button and the end call button for a long time. Tried it for about three times. Same thing. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
This new version does have fixed sensors, however, camera becomes rather unstable...

It just acts the way it did before. Takes a picture and freezes...

I've made the Europe_2 version. Will give it to Jiee tomorrow so he can put the link on the main post.

Update: LED doesn't work. (at least while charging, haven't tested other notifications yet - and I'm not refering to the trackball, I'm refering to the green/yellowish led on top of the phone)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Check if fastboot is disabled (settings >power>fastboot).

Now it's a keeper :) other than agressive resource management, fully featured gingerbread sense on the Hero!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
is there anybody have problem with wifi in RC2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirok:
Trun off your hero, pull the battery out, put it back in and it should work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
I've mirrored RC2 over here :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
any news for App2sd ext ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:
I'm on RC1. Full wipe required before flashing RC2 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
See earlier post:

Best regards,

Henrik
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
did you manage to sort out the message process OOM in RC2? If not is there a way for us to do it? I seem to remember for the home launcher you just need to add a line in build.prop dont you?

It seems that when you change the priority of the messaging process in auto memory manager it keeps getting reset.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I've not sorted it yet, i nuked my hard drives last night which took around 6 hours so all i could when i got on last night was post links to RC2. I'll try today.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
Doesn't work with charging for me either. I'm on the default kernel though and haven't tried LV yet since sometimes I get wakeup issues on it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
same here no LED for charging even on LV...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Hi

I get FC everytime my Weather Widget updates or I enter HTC Weather.

Anyone else have this problem?

I have tried wipe of everything and reflashed RC2 2 times - still get FC. Also tried both LV and Flykernel.

Best regards,

Henrik
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AdmcPL:
Plz add ext app2sd support. Ext app2sd is much better than bulitin app2sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
yup got this too. Thought it was because I froze some htc stuff using tit. backup but maybe not. Seems to have updated the weather though so not sure what the problem is
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Okay, I will be working on a fix tonight for the LED's, A2SD, Weather F/C's and OOM values. Can't promise anything but I will try my best to have at least one of these fixed tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruikaka16:
support !:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Take your time, your doing an awesome job.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrpg:
Tried the RC2 version today.

Couple of issues :

Very minor : Picked "English (Swedish)" as the language , then everything gets set to swedish anyway (tried a few full wipes) simple to change yourself and no big issue

The bigger issue for me, is that htc widgets wont appear on the homescreen, for example, i remove the default social clock, and want to replace it with the htc weather clock, i select the widget, select location, and press ok, and it wont appear.

Same with the small version of the htc calender, i can select it and press ok/done, but it wont appear.

Tried deleting sense data & cache + full wipe reinstall rom, with and without LV kernel.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjentys:
Big thanks - what works for me

First off massive thanks for an excellent ROM.

Am using it with LV Kernel currently on RC2 (upgraded from RC1 after wiping cache's)

Sensors are now working but LED notifications do not and my hero does not recognise when its connected to my PC over USB so cant sync etc.

USB and LED notifications worked perfectly in RC1.

Other than the wbove everything else I have tested so far works very well and the UI is super fast.

Phone now wakes from standby much more reliably than on RC1 (on RC1 it wouldnt always wake)

All in all v. impressed with this ROM, keep up the great work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mahmoud200001:
i have flashed rc1 tomorrow and it's amazing the only bug in it when i receive calls the name of caller no't appear it's appear like this (4c2356062515)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
dkelley you can freeze HTC sense and rosie on Titanium.. this way they wont be in the background eating resources.. I love the new HTC sense too but... with Launcher Pro there is 0 lag the ROM is like 2.1 in terms of speed.. it's worth a shot..

but then I may also go back to sense.. that is what this ROM is all about anyway!

I think I will wait for the LED fix to flash RC2 and report
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Strange.. my PC recognises the phone when connected by USB. Can you pull me a logcat of when you try connecting?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjentys:
Just looking up how to do a logcat and will send you one once I have it.

My PC does recognise something is plugged into the USB port (and when its disconnected) but the phone does not come up with the charge only, disk drive, tether... option.

Will post back once I figure out how to get a logcat, found some instructions to follow...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
for me camera was unstable in rc1 with lv. in rc2 with lv so far camera is stable.

which tells me that camera is generally unstable in a kind of random way and it probably has nothing to do with being rc1 or rc2 :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes. so I'm using the "news and weather" widget instead.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool to know.

however there is zero lag with the sense launcher also if you use LV. at least for me. no lag at all. haven't configured setcpu or anything. just let the phone settle, reboot once, and you're done. been using rc1 and then rc2 for 24 hours now. AMAZING rom. edit: obviously this is only true when data isn't refreshing in teh background, which is true for other launchers as well.... in case ppl get lag and wonder why I don't get lag. you'll get lag during account updates/email checks/market downloads/installs.... but not otherwise in my experience.

this is as fast as the 2.1 elelinux sense rom I was using previously (and I'm very picky about speed and responsiveness). somehow rc1 and rc2 are miles faster than the previous release of this rom. I have no interest in alternative launchers aside from using scrollable widgets (which I can live without thanks to the good sense widgets) and the Launcher Pro Plus gmail widget (I DO miss that but can live without it).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
install the free app aLogCat from market. run it after you try to connect via usb (so most recent logs will be the errors related to that). then send the txt file to the OP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
well I get lag in sense while scrolling most of the time.. very slight lag though.. but I am picky too

I will try without setcpu maybe you are right..

another thing, now that you mentioned syncing.. my facebook for htc sense sync never finished properly.. only a few of my friends photos were downloaded and the thing kept syncing all the time (until I deleted the whole account :D)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjentys:
Thanks, was going about it the hard way (just finishing installing android SDK) will do as you suggested and send the logs over asap.

Camera worked (except zoom) in both RC! and RC2 for me (LV Kernel)

Log sent
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
really REALLY wish i had my hero back to test this :(

looks like its coming along at an amazing pace!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
flashed RC2 & LV

seems smoother than RC1

the only problem I see is that in the 3 restarts I have done till now, I always get a "Phone" application FC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
yeah i had this force close as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
RC2: notification LED not working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
Hi

I noticed one major difference from RC1 is the battery is not that good in RC2 ...flashed this about 11 am now 1924 already charged fully from 45% once and it gone back to 85% with only mostly Wifi on rest did not had much calls today...

rest fc on phone after restarting, LED etc are still the issues and i know you r working on them...

rest seems little bit slower than RC1 may be its only me ..

waiting for the fixes or new release RC3

Thanks for the nice rom though and well done..will update you for the -ve's which you might need to know to get this ROM to next perfect level...

QUESTION:: When i try to move some application to SD card ... error msg come up says SD card is full... what should i do ..plz advise
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
You have to enable the notifications from settings-> Display as I remember
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rozitg:
SalsaSense RC2 - Additional Languages soon ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I've decided to upload the extended language ROM when I release the next version which should hopefully be tonight or tomorrow, I have lights fixed but the ROM is incredibly slow and I'm trying to sort that out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CGeyser:
Copliot doesn't work with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
did you flash Lv kernel again after flashing rc2? it really is faster/smoother with lv kernel. flashing rc2 kills lv kernel and makes things slower from my experience.

do you have any space on your sd card? that's very odd if you do. works perfectly for me, but I have a 16 gb sd card (with 1.7GB free...) :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's sad, but at least google navigation works with it, at least it does so far for me. not sure how stable that will be over time though based on what I've read.

copilot is nice but does seem to hook into the gps differently from some competing products - possibly it isn't yet gb compatible (unlikely but possible), and possibly it just won't work with this rom which probably has somewhat unusual GPS hooks in place due to requirements of making it work on the hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CGeyser:
For people like me who don't have a data plan, I need a dedicated, offline GPS app.

Copliot works on all firmwares from 1.5 up to 2.3. It just doesn't work on this particular Rom.

When I open the app, it just hangs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
How about ndrive? I use it and it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CGeyser:
Ya, NDrive works. But, I prefer Copilot despite its flaws.

I don't know about you, but I like the luxury of having apps working in numerous Roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea, cool.

which gb DOES it work in, out of curiosity? I would guess that the only one significantly different enough yet with some semblance of gps functionality would have to be elelinux's CM-based rom.

It's very possible that it will never work in this sense rom since much of this rom wasn't built from source code unfortunately (as with all sense roms). So it's often hard or impossible to solve specific details.

But I won't speak for the rom's dev(s) since only he(they) are the ones who keep tricking me by doing the seemingly impossible with this rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CGeyser:
Well, Copilot works on every rom except for this one. It even works with Roms with Sense.

I'm currently using HeroLatte-0.9 and everyone of my previous installed apps works (especially Copilot). The only problem with the current Rom I'm using is that I can't search for certain apps (i.e. Jetflicks).
