i tryed 0.4.6 but very unstable... need help people :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
I've noticed the 3rd problem... I don't know how to fix it. I was told it was related to com.htc.framework.jar... I tried replacing this file as well and no luck. If anyone has a solution, please post it ;P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
4.6 wasn't unstable at all.

I have a feeling that you need to start all over again.

do a full wipe (data/system, dalvik, cache, even go into your .android_secure folder on your sd card and delete everything please).

and then reflash the RC2.5 rom and then flash the 4.7 kernel from scratch and see if it works for you.

that's all anyone else had to do to get it working, but sometimes wiping doesn't seem to succeed fully for some people with some recoveries. tryign again and then reflashing everything often helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I love this rom. I think its very slick looking and runs quite well on my hero. Sometimes its a bit laggy but not too bad. The deal breaker for me this time is notifications. I'm not getting email or message notifications. So until that issue is resolved i'm going to have to go back to ele's 2.9. I'll be back tho.

no Gmail

So, I came here and tried the 1.1 and it was unusable for me, the battery went out before it finished it's first sync.

Now I run 2.5RC1 and I wondered why I wasn't getting any E-Mail:

There is no Gmail App. WHAT? WHY? :confused:

This is why there is no messages setting in the Google account setting.

This is a huge oversight in my Eyes.

Edith:

even the market says my HTC Hero is not compatible with Gmail, how could that be?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.gm

Also I don't get the flashing options you proppose for a "lite" version with I cannot find.:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
The lite stuff was for 1.3 or something I think :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Grab the Gmail.apk from an earlier version of the rom, put it on system/apps on the recent rom. Flash. Voila. Should be back.

Update: Just installed Gmail app from the market. Works perfectly.

wifi doen't work in 2.5RC

After Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik-Cache/Ext, the wifi still doesn't work as well.

When I try to turn on wifi, it shows error then.

I notice that 2.5RC use LV 4.7, is it the cause the lines below in updater-script?

I don't recall seeing anyone else mention this, but for everyone complaining about not getting text message notifications...if you install an alternate program like Handcent you will get notifications in the status bar at the top.

Camera doesnt work

Its a great ROM works good, except my camera doesn't work both in 5MP & 3MP.

I've already applied LV kernel. Is there anyother setting to be done.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JW 301:
with LV, the camera worked fine on 5MP for me, and camcorder worked with 480x320 as well.

but i still have problem with text messages

i could not receive any SMS or MMS message, they just didn't show up.

they were not delivered, as i received them as soon as i switched back to my normal ROM.

i think when I sent a message to myself, they got delivered as the messages app was still open, but whenever I used another app the messages app was closed immediately and I received nothing again.

can anyone else confirm this?

thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Can someone tell me, what would be the "best" OC values for this ROM (I am using 672 MHz at this time)? I am also using Minfreemanager with the "aggressive" settings, but still my hero is a little bit slow ... :-(

Any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
there is no "best" OC freq. Usually higher CPU freq. means faster phone but worse battery life. Thats all there is to it. Find a frequency that is a good compromise between the 2.

With regards to Minfreemanager, setting it to aggressive probably isnt the best idea because for one the message process will continually get killed so you probably wont get your messages. Although JieeHD said he has fixed the message app being killed problem I personally do not think it is properly fixed. But either way aggressively killing processes wont help the situation. At the very least set the minfree value for 'content provider' to a low value because this is the category the messaging app appears to fit in.

Another problem with setting minfreemanager to aggressive is that the out of memory (OOM) killer will keep killing processes that will automatically be restarted by the phone so the phone will be constantly killing and re-starting processes which may make it slow. A better solution would be to remove any apps (including system apps) that you dont use.

I did this using titanium backup and ended up removing most of the htc stuff (e.g. htc likes, htc sync, htc weather and a lot more) all these apps use A LOT of memory which the hero has a short supply of.

If you think it defeats the point of having sense if you remove a lot of htc stuff then just remember that this version of Sense was made for phones with more memory than the Hero and so you cant expect it to run everything smoothly. Htc themselves were reluctant to release sense for the Desire, and even then only said they would release a slightly lighter version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
Same here, but bikemaker suggested using another SMS app, dunno if it would solve the problem of messages just not being delivered
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
this is related to the memory issue I mention in my previous post. The message app gets killed so you dont receive messages. 3 ways you can increase the chances of receiving messages are:

1) frequently open the message app to try to make sure the message process is always running (at least open messages when you finish using your phone and are about to switch screen off)

2) remove some of the htc stuff which uses a lot of memory and is assigned a higher OOM value. This way you can reduce the chance of message app being killed due to lack of memory

3) Or you can set the memory value of 'content provider' very low so the OOM killer doesnt kill the messaging app ('people' also comes under content provider so this process will also not be killed by this method)

I use a combination of all 3 and I think I now get most of my messages ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
@flashinglights

All your 3 problems are related to one thing - your current ROM framework is different from this ROM.

Fast solution could be pushing com.htc.resources.apk from this ROM to your phone, but then you have a risk having weird graphical glitches on other apps. In worst case, if differences between frameworks are too important, phone will not boot up, in best everything will work just fine.

Long solution consists of backsmaling and modifying with apktool these 3 apks: com.htc.resources.apk, HtcLockScreen.apk and slate theme apk. For example for the 2nd issue you will have to edit some layout xml file.

Concerning 3rd issue I think you just need to replace some pngs. In that case its simple - just unzip com.htc.resources.apk, replace files from your framework (search for lockscreen*.png ), zip back, rename to apk, done.

What bothers me more is that music album artwork is not shown in lockscreen. It always shows the default png. I tried to look what bugs it, but without success.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
OMFG. You are a genious. I already found the png's. Will test today!

EDIT: Second look... The png's look about the same... I'm wondering about the 3rd problem. I should be replacing a rectangular shape with a curved one, right?

Nonetheless I replaced every png concerning the curved lockscreen. Will test now.

EDIT2: Just tested. Nothing changed. The bug is still there. Mind taking a look? Maybe you can find something I can't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Nice one, never logcatted weather so I wasn't sure, I'm trying to have a bit of holiday away from android which is why I've went AWOL. For everyone having problems with messages and such, if you're installing and running a whole load of apps I'm going to tell you right now to flash another ROM. This was always going to be a heavy ROM, and this is looking like the best it'll get.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
Another possible work around for sms would be to use "go sms" and enable run persistently, though I dont know how effective that would be given the memory situation
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
There is a quick workaround for this. In weather settings disable sound effects. In case you were unlucky and it is raining in your city you can either wait for next sunny day :) or clear weather app data in app manager. Then before add new cities disable sound.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pigfoot:
I comment out those lines and do full wipe & re-flash, it works well then.

RC 2.5

- Optimized all apps and framework, better memory consumption

- Under the hood tweaks

Battery pro0blem in RC 2.5

Hey guys I really appreciate ur hardwork. The current rom RC2.5 is much better. But i faced a problem with battery life. It doesn't last longer than 6 hours. So i switched back to a 2.1 rom for now.......waiting for ur next release (RC3)

thats a new function htc have put in. to change this go to menu > settings > power > uncheck fast boot. then it will shut down fully
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flashinglights:
Ok thanks a lot I'll see if the resources swap works.

about the arc lockscreen: if I do change the image will that affect the other lockscreens for the other skins? The slate and herring skin have a straight bar so adding an arched background will overlap those wouldn't it? I just use the slate skin so this isn't a real problem for me. It would be nice however if it worked for others who use the HTC skin.

I'll let you'll know how things went when I get on a pc. Thanks

So after replacing the resources apk it still looked the same :/ even tried using one from a previous build that had the skins working perfectly but that was a no go either. But I guess its happening because of phone differences, so I won't bother you gsm peeps anymore :]

Great rom thanks a lot.

I have some little bugs but not so important (sometimes weater is crashed etc..)

But for me, one important think, my Hero is connecting on my bluetooth carkit, it's the only rom based on the original one who can connect on my carkit either the original HTC was not working.

USB tethering doesn't seem to be working in this ROM. Your best choice would be to use an external app for this task until it gets fixed. I would recommend PDANet, but of course there are several alternatives too, just look around.

I think I have may have fixed the sms problem once and for all. but it does need some testing.

as I have said a few times in this thread the problem was that com.android.mms was being killed so msgs wouldnt be received. The standard ways of changing oom values for this process didnt work because the kernel would reset its oom value at some point so you would be back at the start.

Instead I have patched the LV kernel to introduce the option to protect certain apps from the oom-killer altogether regardless of their oom value. As such it doesnt matter how high the oom value is, the oom-killer will not try to kill the mms process.

So I have the patched LV kernel if anyone wants to try it. It does involve a few more steps after flashing the kernel but its not too difficult. If anyone wants to try let me know and i'll give instructions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:

The idea behind this sounds interesting. It could also be useful for others wanting to keep other apps in memory (i.e. dialer). Maybe you could start a separate thread (if you have time)
