everything mentioned so far is working great for me in latest build, flashed from a full wipe.

HOWEVER market FCs after running for a couple of seconds. I just rebooted and will see if that helps. If not then it's a pretty serious bug, but probably just unique to me.

seems like everyone has a different bug LoL :-)

nice, fast, very gingerbready rom though. I like the improvements you've made since the first release I tried.

~~~~~~~~~~

hmmm. damn. nope, market still FCs after a couple of seconds of use. I mean I run market app then it FCS. so I can't install anything. bye bye herodeck (again). hopefully this problem can be fixed now.

I did use the two files from the first post, that gapps and that rom. I did do a full wipe first.

~~~~~~~~~~

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

hmmm... the gapps on first page DO work for me but I'm getting that market FC. wonder if I shoudl try my older gapps (which is same as your older gapps fwiw).

just wiped all and rebooted without a reflash to see if starting fresh helps with my market problem. this time I'll setup google account and then try market right away before wasting time having fun configuring the rest of the rom how I like.

~~~~~~~~~~

update: k, rewiping didn't do it. I'll reflash and try the older gapps this time to see if THEN my market stops FCing when I click it.

~~~~~~~~~~

ok, wtf is going on here LoL :-)

I'm running a 3 month old gapps now, so the older market, not the ugly new black/grey one. it runs without FCing but I keep getting connection problems now with the rom. market only gets in about 1 layer down, most times when I tap on an app in the market it says retry or cancel, can't connect to server. gtalk can't connect to server reliable. happens on wifi AND data, so it's not the actual connection, it's in the rom.

bizarre problems going on LoL

wait, I can't install ANYTHING from this market either actually. it's not jsut dropbox. hmmmm.... there is still something wrong with this gapps I think on my phone with this rom.

I really wish I could get a working gapps for this rom... :-(

cheers

As far as I can see this is a port :P duhh :P but somehow most off the people can not install apps on it.. doesnt that mean the instalation thingy is broken?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
I just can't understand why people port so many roms for the hero... In the last days i've seen a lot of Gingerbread AOSP roms and Android 2.1 with the original sense...given a new face...and the new face is some little little tweaks and some updated apps...

Why can't all the devs around here work on a single sense ROM...?????????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
cos ppl like variety.....if u had only one sense rom would there be any fun?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond Geezer:
This was looking good and fast for me until I tried to add my gmail account then it just reboots when I press "add acount"

I installed the rom with full wipe then gapps straight away.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
it's not about fun, it's about to actually use the rom, not getting mad... I don't find fun in having a laggy rom, or sense restarts, or having to miss my calls...

As for the AOSP roms, they kind of all look the same...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
so the consensus seems to be that there are three groups of users:

- those with no problems (OP and some others)

- those with account add = reset problem (this person and others)

- those with market FCing or otherwise breaking making all installs impossible (myself and others)

IT sounds like there is something wrong with this rom when it gets certain types of connectivity requests. Other roms don't have these problems, I just tried two others and they're fine. IF this works for the OP and some other users then the problem must be either location dependent, depending on some small hardware difference between different heros, or depending on some type of connectivity setting for our providers or wifi routers. or maybe it's based on the radio we're using but that woudl be strange since this same radio works for every other rom I've ever used without these problems (hundreds of roms probably).

Iv'e tried the gapps from this thread's first post and it worked for account but not for market, and others can't even try the market because it doesn't even work for their account sign in.

I've tried two other gapps - one from march (seemed to work in market but actually didn't let me hit install on any apps without reporting a connection problem), and the other is the currently posted CM gb mdpi gapps flashable zip from their official page (I think it's a june 2011 build). that build also has the same problem as the other cm gapps.

I can't install aLogCat since I can't install anything at all, and my hero isn't setup for adb on my computer since I dev professionally on a different android device and really can't afford to mess that adb setting up potentially just to get this phone setup properly.

But if anyone else with these issues could gather logcats for the developer, I'm sure it would help him out with the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
i'm sorry for ur impatience in being unable2get a stable sense rom....i truly am....but i dont c wat ur problem is??its definitly not related to this rom....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
I don't get it either. I'm using Gapps mdpi 2011-05-28 which has been on my SD for a while. No problems at all with market or accounts. Have been using ROM heavily all day without a fc, reboot or anything. ROM is great here so sorry can't help. I'm on tmobile UK if it makes any difference
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
this bites LoL. I really like how well this rom runs... best gb by far, even nicer than omfgb which was already super nice.

but, no market = no custom apps = boring :-D

any chance you could post your gapps zip somewhere in case it's somehow different than the one I've got?

But at the same time, the problem seems to exist in ANY gapps I used, just that it FCs right away in the newest market app (black theme) compared to erroring later in the process with the older market app (green theme).

So I really wonder if the rom itself somehow isn't running correctly on many of our phones. May I ask this strange question - what rom were you running BEFORE this one?

I swear to God - sometimes some roms don't run properly if flashed over a certain other rom and other roms will ONLY run properly if flashed over a certain family of other roms.

like aeonflux which requires rcmix 2.2 to be on my phone before I flash it, even in it's latest supposedly fixed version.

So maybe this is the problem? If those with working versions can please post what rom was present before they switched to this rom (and don't say this same rom, I mean the last non-herodeck rom used).

Thanks!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Yo mates i've found a new rom i've been toying with :D

jaybob's version of 2.3.7 in the herocdma forums so far working great :D

this freaking application issue is still there though! :(

any1 wanna beta test the modified version before i release it? :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haha.... the ongoing bug eh?

it really sounds like there is something different in cdma that isn't getting changed correctly when porting these roms to gsm.

not that I have a clue what that difference would be, or even how to port a rom LoL

good luck with it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
yea the ever faithful bug in my life :\

neverthless i got the weekend to figure out wats wrong in the ports hopefully fix it too :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
who wants to try my next release before i release it? :P

enjoy!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Was using VE6 prior to this rom, cant believe it should make any difference.

Here is the Gapps i use, again, cant believe it should have any bearing on these odd issues. Really hope more people can enjoy this great Rom :)

mmm... would love to but only just started with new deckRom. What is the new one ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool, trying out unreleased rom with that specific gapps.

damnit. so it WAS WORKING, newest build, that guy's gapps download. it had some issues with market but I worked through them and kept trying to download stuff, almost was successful but then market updated itself to the latest version, the same one that's in your first post's download link from september's gapps.

And guess what? as soon as market started after it updated itself, a couple seconds in the market would force close again. so now I'm stuck without a working market, AGAIN.

I'll try to work through this but it's really annoying. at least this market doesnt' FC in other roms, even though the black theme market is slow and annoying. In this rom for some reason it FCs every time I launch it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Its Fri night..... baby is due any day so no drink for me.....telly's crap and I live on 4 hours sleep a day........so what the hell..... I'll install new rom and report back.

I seem to be one of the few reporting Zero problems with Deck 1.2 or 1.3e.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
backup your working one first! what it you suddenly start getting issues like we have LoL

I'm slightly envious of your baby situation - I loved those days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Yeah, let us know how the new ROM is. And good luck with the baby, my youngest is 9 months now, life is never the same again but well worth it :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
this is my 3rd and final contribution to the species...... this ones a girl so cant wait.

I was thinking.... dont know if this will make a difference or not but I run all with LauncherPro Plus launcher. Could a different launcher cause the problems? Probably not but thought I'd put it out there.

Also..... Download from Mediafire is taking forever at the moment. Could a rom get corrupted in the download to PC stage, causing issues when its installed into the hero?

Could a fresh download help those people who are having repeated problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
this is the third version of this rom that I've downloaded now and installed, and htey all have the same problem.

So it's not a corrupted download.

I've used several versions of gapps and all have problems related to the market's operation.

So it's not the gapps archives.

I've arguably flashed more roms on the hero than anybody in history.

So it's not likely to be an error of inexperience, and hopefully not stupidity on my part (although of course not impossible).

I use CWM recovery, not amon-ra. what are other people using who are having success?

I far prefer CWM since it lets me organize my flashable zips into folders and subfolders and has a superior management tool for backup/restore. But each recovery has it's share of problems... there could be something strange going on I guess.

What radio are people using? I'm using and old one that works on all other roms just fine. Coudl this be related? Not if the rom works properly. But ya never know 100% for certain...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
I use launcher pro plus too and I'm one of the lucky ones also but would doubt if the launcher causes account and market errors. I reckon its partially due to that new market. With latest deck ROM I uninstalled the update and froze the updater again as I mentioned the other day. Market 2. 3. 6 works fine. Must be some way to disable market updater other than TB; ADB can but can't recall the commands.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I'm using ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.0.7

I've never changed from the stock radio (assuming it was stock on 2.1 when I got it of of ebay)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
I've got the SU 635 17 03 radio. Cant be radio related surely?

I use amon ra, be suprised if that was the problem too ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I'll be surprised no matter what the problem is LoL. I Agree though, these are unlikely causes.

but the fact that it's fine for hte dev and some other ppl makes it truly bizarre.

I've tried anything I could....

Really makes me wonder if it's related to how it won't let me install certain apps, even when I could get the older market to run for a bit (between dozens of repeated taps on "retry" when I kept getting "Server not found" connection failures in that market!).

Like I tried installing double twist player - nope. just never showed up. strange stuff. no error other than those repeated retry connection messages. I watched the progress bar show it downloading and installing. then.... nothing. not in the phone anywhere except the apk in the download folder of course.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
Dont know if this helps but i tried installing from terminal emulator using the "pm install" command. I got an INSTALLATION_FAILED_INVALID_LOCATION_ERROR.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Hmmm. Weird. One last theory. Could apps2SD cause instability like this, in that the market installs to system initially - then when it updates it will update to ext. partition ( if available). This has caused me issues previously, although not like the ones described. A long shot but hard for me to check as mine is ok
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
Possible although I dont use App2sd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
never had that problem before from a2sd, so it seems highly unlikely. not impossible mind you.

I think that the terminal install error just described sums up this problme completely.

I may ahve been correct about the location somehow being related. a very strange problem for sure, and definitely the only way this could happen is if the original rom from cdma has this problme too, or if there is osmethign needed to be changed for GSM that hasn't been changed yet.

what and how to fix this, though, is the question. someone with experience at this must have done this before. but I have no clue at all.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

so what location works for people? location as in what is the locale you're choosing?

also, what timezone? and if someone with the problem (I'm on a different rom now already...) can turn off location information for both wireless and gps then try reflashing and rebooting everything, does the problem persist?

I googled but there isn't anything with that specific error coming back, so I'm not sure "INSTALLATION_FAILED_INVALID_LOCATION_ERROR" is literally what you saw in your terminal. If it is then it would seem to be the first time this error has been discussed online, ever, in history. Which is improbable....

G0ku teamHeroC 2.3.7.zip

Installed as usual...... ClockworkMod, Data wipe, cache wipe, delvik wipe, then another data wipe just to make sure.

Installed G0ku teamHeroC 2.3.7.zip then rebooted.

Once running, back into CW Recovery, another delvik wipe then installed light gapps (gapps-20110828-vm.zip) available in Post #1 in this thread.

Followed prompts for gmail account, wifi, etc to complete install.

1st impressions are great. Feels very similar to HeroDeck 1.3e.

Installed LauncherPro etc to personalise as per previous rom installs.

One thing I noticed here was every single app restored via Titanium Backup installed fully and had none of the "application NOT installed" messages of HeroDeck. (Its possibly worth noting, I NEVER restore Apps with data, settings etc....... I always restore ONLY THE APP and take the time to login again)

Market app worked ok though my Hero does not like the new market version.

I installed market 2.3.6 from my SD card and that worked great.... though it will revert after backups unless I bin the updater.

She sends and receives SMS.... calls and emails.

GPS works and reports an excellent signal with Endomondo app.

Wifi seems strong even outside my house (other roms have given up at the back door)

3D Gallery loads and works MUCH faster than Deck 1.3.

One thing I dont like is a semi-transparent notifications window. Very difficult to distinguish Homescreen icons from the notifications. This would seriously do my head in. I had a hunt around settings and cannot find a way of altering it.

The only thing that came up as a fail was when I tried to open update log..... but I assume there are no update logs.

Hope this report is usefull. If anyone out there has had issues with Deck 1.3e.... give this a go. Its not a final release but from what I can see, its as stable and smooth as HeroDeck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
i don't have problems with a rom:)))))))), my only problem is that there are a lot of roms that are all the same, and i just can't understand why do a project that everyone has??????

Eles has a 2.3.7 AOSP rom also...don't want you to think that i'm crazy or things like that, but i just don't see why make roms that look the same and kind of work the same way...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I just finished installing the 2.3.7 test rom and it is running beautifully. I installed the gapps from the first post and the market works no problem. I also jumped onto the market website and pushed apps to my phone and they downloaded and installed almost instantly. I'm using the stock launcher and it is the fastest and smoothest I've ever had on my phone. I'll test GPS, Music and Bluetooth tomorrow. Nice, nice rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hirencj:
Bug when i connect my Hero to pc nothing shows up its not even detected by computer!!!! Even Led doesnt Light up but it does when connected to Charger!

Anyone facing same problem??? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
probably a cable fault,my htc provided cable doesnt work fr me so i use my nokia cable n it works fine

check if the usb port is working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hirencj:
Yeah bro sorry it was Usb Cable problem ;) Thanks for fast reply :)... and waiting for your Sense zero version Rom :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
It was not too long ago (around beginning of 2011) that we saw developers working 'together' to get GingerBread working on Hero.

However, most recognised developers and Hero users by this time, would have already moved on to other better phones (Sensation, GS2, etc).

In this 'lean' time, I am gladful that we are still able to hold on to Hero as there are still 'newer' ROMs made available for us 'flashing junkies'.

My contract had been up for few months already and yet I am holding on to my Hero. It is this people who keep on developing, porting that made me postponing my purchase of a newer phone.

As such, I would like to thank them all :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
:)

BTW GUYs hows the TeamHeroC port of 2.3.7?????

shall i open up a new thread n release it officially???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I stopped using the HTC cable a while back for the same reason. Using a Nokia lead and its fine since.

Been using 2.3.7 for 12+ hours and currently on 76% battery. Still running without any FC's or any glitches.

Again, any release could do with the bloat removed. Its nice to think this old hero is running the very newest firmware without a problem.

CPU is set at 650/350( ish) with a screen off profile.f
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
This is running stable enough for me to consider leaving it running as my daily. As such I'd say its ready for its own thread.

Awesome work Goku.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Tried the TeamHeroC 2.3.7 ROM and had similar problem as some apps not being able to install.

Installed via File Manager - 'Application not installed'

Restored via TitaniumBackup Pro w Apps only - 'Restored complete', but apps were no where to be found (ie. not installed at all)

Restored via TitaniumBackup Pro w Apps + Data - 'Restore Failed'

I already have adb installed on my PC but have yet to use it.

As such, I would like to try this last option of installing method.

Could someone help me with the command to install/push via adb?

I had googled and tried with the command adb install <path>/<application>.apk but failed :confused:

Also, when do we use adb install and adb push?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
2.3.7....Still the only thing that needs doing for me is the almost transparent notification pulldown.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Yeah would be great! Can't resist another new ROM :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
still exactly the same problem for me. market doesn't work. fcs a couple of seconds after launching the market each time.

IF you could release a versino of this rom that has the light gapps already in it but with the market pre-frozen or something (damn, I have no idea how, sorry!), it would solve this problem for me and some other users.

the old market has lots of errors too but appears to let us install apps as long as we keep hitting the retry button dozens of times during one install.

although I guess that's a pretty bad workaround too....

oh yea, and that transparent navbar was the dumbest idea the cdma folks have ever had. it's completely useless this way. you can't any of the notification bar information at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Ok I installed the test 2.3.7 last night. After install everything was fast and smooth and perfect. Installed the gapps from first post and the old Market was installed and ran without problem. I did have one random reboot last night. Not sure why. Was not using Market at the time.

However when I woke up this morning the new Market was installed (How the eff can we stop that from happening???) and now Market FC's when I run it. I really love this rom but we have to get those few bugs ironed out. It must have something to do with being ported from CDMA.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Loving the 2.3.7 rom I am trying out.

Thought if you were going to release it you might want to get some recognition for the hours you have put in. I have done a bootanimation that you might like to enclose.

Hope you like it.

Prof Peach
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Have u tried removing market updater and market feedback ?use root app remover
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
For the 2.3.7.....Think a fix for the transparent notifications window is a png file.

Any chance this can be dropped into the new release.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think in the installation zip its in System/App/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-mdpi/shade-bg.png

Tried dropping it in but unable without the right kit.

New image is attached.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Enjoying the 2. 3. 7 now, all working smooth and fast. Thanks!

Agree with Prof Peach that notification pulldown transparency needs adjusting and am fiddling with things myself to change it. Cheers again for another cracking ROM :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
@ Timbo....

Let me know how the screen fiddling goes as I cant paste into the location, and if I amend the SystemUI.apk it wont install.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
I wrote a piece about creating transparent statusbars a couple of days back. You might want to look at it. Maybe it will help you. All you need to do is to add the shade_bg.png to files replaced.
