only problem so far, and a rather annoying one since I use twitter all the time, is that I can't get twitter authorization to work using either LP+ (which works perfectly otherwise and in ohter roms) or using the go launcher twitter widget (same authorization method). both appear to authorize through the web browser. maybe that's a problem?

any ideas or suggested workarounds?

edit: official twitter app logs in ok, so it's not the rom as a whole, it's the web-based authentication that is the problem in thsi rom somehow.

edit2: I worked around it (at least in go launcher's twitter widget) by clearing all browser data and resetting to default settings and closing all browser windows and backing out of it, then removing and re-adding twitter widget and reauthenticating. somehow doing that, after having installed/setup the official twitter app, removed the username/password fields from the browser authentication this time so it only asked if I wanted to authenticate or not. I clicked yes, and voila, it worked.

now to try it with LP+. hopefully the same thing since same problem arose earlier.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Have I just missed the setting for keeping the screen awake whilst on a call or is it not there?

Edit# Imagine that...... it was hidden in call settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
was wondering that too.... default is opposite to most other aosp type roms, and it's a default I dont' really like since I tend to hang up the phone with my cheek using the default setting in this rom.

would be nice to change it...

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

I was wrong. some of my tit restored apps didn't restore.

sorry for misinformation.

such as armored strike ("application not installed").

should be able to install it normally and then hopefully restore saved game data using tit backup after that... I hope.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I tried to install stock email app from SD and it failed, even failed when dropped into System/Apps. App was pulled from a Cronos Ginger zip so I expected it to be ok.

Remembered it was saved in TB and it installed with data 1st time.

I'm gonna drag both apps to my desktop and see if there is any coding difference that might help figure out why one works and the other doesn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, but afaik the apk itself is never modified by tit backup. tit backup stores app data in a second file along side the apk file. so, theoretically, the apk file should work fine.

and some apks I restored from tit backup with data worked just fine and are running in this rom without a glitch.

so it seems tit backup isn't necessarily part of the equation, if that is what you're considering.

still, yea, doing a file comparison would be interesting :-)

just thinking out loud here... theorizing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Jeeez..... pages of code...... not enough caffeine in the world for me to do that tonight.

Might be handy if Bharat posted any findings.... assuming he's looking into it. I'd like to think he'd see something inamongst all that code that I would skip over.

Seems strange to me that he releases a potentially awesome Rom then shows little interest in getting it 100%.

It would be a shame if people miss out on this becuase of an issue that could be fixed or worked around.

I dont usually use youtube on the phone but thougt I'd give it a test.

I can select, search etc and play a video. Sound plays fine but no video.

In pan view I can scroll forward in the video but it just shows a still image and the sound carries on as it should.

This the same for others?

***Edit***

It would seem the setting to initially play in HD when connected to a network makes no difference. Connected to wifi at home and it starts every video in HD.... sound but no video. If you go panoramic whilst playing it shows an HD button with a check box filled..... click on it and it restarts the video in standard quality.... sound and video playing as it should.

Is this peculiar to this rom or all Hero GB roms.?

I cant delete and re-install from market to see if it fixes as I cant find the apk using root explorer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Testing a new build today based on kushdeck's 1.3 build,should b up by the morning if everything is alright,i realised ur market issues so i decided from now on fr all aosp roms i work on i'll include basic gapps package with the old market,ofcourse i'll make sure its only the necessary stuff.....

cheers...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
If you want it testing on another phone in another continent.... I'm yr man.

It'd be good to test it back to back with 1.3e.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I'm back on 1.3e again after giving ele's latest a spin. This one is still the fastest and smoothest GB I have tried (well, the 2.3.7 test rom was great too except for that damn transparent pulldown).

I used Don's method to get Market working properly and have had no problems since. thanks Don.

The only issues I've had with this rom are one random reboot when running Waze, and a slight skip or hesitation when playing music. Happens 5 or 6 times per song. Most of my songs are .flac files so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Other than that I love this rom.

How about including the same unlock screen as the test version tho. It's pretty.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
@ Marleyfan61..... I had issues with music stuttering due to underclocking when the screen is off. Thats why I run it with a fairly moderate screen off profile.

It wasn't with this rom but is that poss the problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I haven't changed the stock settings from Ondemand 245/576. I shouldn't need anything higher than that for music. There must be something else going on. I haven't tried any of the other governors yet. My battery is getting old so I have to be mindful of battery consumption too. Thanks for your help tho. Any other suggestions. Nobody else having this problem?

Any more news on an update to this or to the 2.3.7 test rom? Things seem quiet........too quiet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Is it the stock music player? Someone suggested Winamp when I was looking for answers for my stuttering. Been using it since.

Wouldnt mind finding a music player app with Graph Eq. Anyone point me something worth paying for?

+1...... sat drumming fingers.... Goku's offerings seem to work well on my Hero so I'm keen to see what he comes up with next. Not sure if the release he was teasing was an update for 1.3e or the 2.3.7?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Think the update is for 2. 3. 7 as that's the recent update for the cdma version. Not sure what will change though, have sorted my notification pulldown now and stripped the ROM further down and I'm happy.

@Prof Peach, I use power amp. Bought it ages ago and seems good and the equalizer is worth having. There are free equalizers around on the market though I think
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I like the music app ^3, aka cubed. It has equalizer for gb roms :-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Cheers fella's. Paid for PowerAmp and thought it was great...... until I tried ^3.

Just what I wanted... love the UI.... Graph Eq is simple. This ones a keeper.

Wish they could sort these things to keep compilation albums in one file instead of 15 singles. Massive PITA.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Well the update will b 2.3.7,

Btw hows the Las venturax kernel running on 1.3e??

@Prof peach could u help me decide the next bootanimation?

:P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
Las Venturas runs perfectly fine for me on your latest test rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Seems stable, cant honestly see or feel any difference to Fly13.

On occasion when I wake the screen I get a black screen with the dock at the bottom. fixes itself when I hit a button or swifr left/right. Thats likely a LauncherPro problem caused by loading a backup from the 2.3.7 I was running. Will set it up from scratch to see if it fixes it.

Happy to. PM me any rom name and ideas you have for a style/design.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

My main reason for using the 1.3e rom instead of 2.3.7 was purely the notification screen. Its transparency is the 1st thing that needs fixed.... which I did myself. The other thing (which I cant do myself) is the lack of wifi/gps/bluetooth toggles on the pulldown.

The style and functions on the 1.3e would be good in the 2.3.7 if thats possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
hmmmm after a few test builds i've reduced down to the same freaking problems.....hmmm guess i'll release it today n figure out the error of my ways later.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
No problem! I'm really happy that it worked for someone else. Interesting that you live in Surrey which is where I work now. Seems like a bug that targets certain geographic locations!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Any noticeable difference in battery consumption between LV and Fly13?

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Guess it's time to move. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I'll stick my neck out and say Fly13 is slightly better on battery life. I felt a big improvement with Fly13 and now I'm on LV I'm back to topping up during the day. I'd say I get 36+ hours from Fly13 and poss 24hrs with LV.

I've just gone back to Fly13 and I'd suggest everyone else sticks with it. Faster, slicker and with the battery life its a no brainer.

That obviously just my findings based on using both back to back for days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
ok 10 minutes till update is uploaded,unluckily same issues persist,but i think i found a work round but can only look into it tomorrow.....college calling and all.....but didnt wanna delay this update anymore.....well the new build is 2.3.7 n i wanted to give it a gingerbready feel so havent themed it.......as always looking forward to reviews and feedbacks.......

neva asked ,does any1 use the miui music player i give wit the rom?

and a lil update on other works i've been keeping my head tied up wit,well team hydra launched their new beta so i'll start wit work on porting it to our fones soon.....

right now m on the work of porting wildheroc from the cdma forums which seems promising i'll keep u guys posted wit results :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
exciting stuff! I haven't tried music on a rom in a while so can't comment on the player...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I have never tried it. Using ^3 as recommended. Great player.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Btw rom has been updated :)enjoy. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Installing now. Will attach a few screen shots before my tweaks n launcher.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
miui music player works great here, made me drop my mixzing behind, i found its has better sound output. the only minus point was failed to changed track from my a2dp Bluetooth headset.

i remember Don is a musician. should get his expert opinion

and thanks for your hard work. best gb rom atm..appreciate that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
if you need any help with porting are testing ,let me know
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
The new Rom has a 2d gallery.

You might want to put an optional 3D as the option at the moment is 2D again.

New ones running exactly as the test version. Not quite as quick as 1.3e but the notification window etc is a big improvement.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
Can you upload the theme you were using on the test rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I liked the test theme too. The wallpaper and lockscreen were both very nice.

As for the miui music player, I switched it up because I was getting a lot of stuttering. I didn't really care for the interface either. I now am running ^3. I love the interface but I find the sound quality is not as good as either miui or PowerAMP. I had forgotten that I had purchased PowerAMP so I will be switching back to that.

I'm still getting the stuttering though. I changed the governor to Smartass and have noticed a small improvement. I use my phone for music all the time so if anyone has a solution to the stuttering I sure would like to hear it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Interesting you should ask the stuttering music question.

I've just been sat here testing different settings with setCPU for the last hour or so to see what the issue was and how to get a good music playing/screen-off/battery life balance.

This is all done with SmartassV2 and playing on (^3) music player.

I had a screen off profile set.... 352/264 and the stuttering was always there.... cant wake the phone and had to pull the battery to reboot.

I tried upping the settings to 352/352 so it wouldnt rise as long as the screen is off...... then raised it even more..... and still the stuttering and stuggling to wake the phone.

Read somewhere that with Smartass V2 it overrides any sleep policy so its pointless adding one.

I figured I might as well see how it goes with no screen-off policy set and the smartass set at 652/352. Plays faultlessly.... screen wakes immediately. Great.

In the interests of battery life I thought I'd see if I could drop it any and tried 652/264. Played for 10 mins.... had the occasional hiccup but the screen woke quickly and had no battery pulling reboots.

So.... drop the screen off policy.... and test it for yourself. I'd advise unchecking the set at boot box till you find something that works for you.... your handset, player and music.

I'll be sticking with 652/352 as I use the music player most days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Prof, thanks for your suggestions. I am using the stock cpu settings in CMSettings/Performance. There is no screen off settings, there is only min/max and governor choice. If I set the governor to SmartassV2 and set the min/max at 352/652 is that the same as doing what you did using SetCPU?

If not, I had SetCPU once upon a time but no longer have it. I know that it is available on XDA free for XDA users but cant seem to find it. Can you point me to it? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:

I work in Surrey too... small world.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Strange that the stock settings don't work.

I cant see why SetCPU would make any difference. It just another way of setting the same controls (with extra's if you want them) or monitoring the settings. I like the SetCPU widget on my homepage just to see whats going on.

If I wake and open up the phone quickly it shows that its still running the screen off freq for a fraction of a second before showing the normal higher freq. Its just nice to see its doing what its supposed to..... a bit like trying to see if the light in the fridge goes off when you shut the door.

Could someone try installing and running Endomondo Tracking app.

Id like to know if its the rom or my phone thats the issue.

It installs both from SD and via market but FC's immediately every time I try to run it. removed and re-installed a few times but get the same result from both free and paid version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Could u get me a logcat asap,I ain't sure but I've been realizing that the flykernel m using isn't implemented prprly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Never run a Logcat before so let me know if I have missed anything or done it wrong.

This was when I went to launch Endomondo free app. It runs fine on 1.3e but niether the free or paid versions will launch but both are installed ok.

Have just installed LV kernel... same issue..... reflashed Fly13.... same problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
so do I. WTF?

Why haven't the three of us done coffee yet?

Don

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

excellent research! thank you!

I dont use a screen off policy with sav2 since, as noted by the developer of the kernel, it's not supposed to work with a screen off policy. so anything unintended will have untested and probably undesired results, like using a screen off profile.

but we're all so used to using screen off profiles that it doesn't surprise me that you tried this, just surprises me that it was such a dramatically poor result with the profile set!

I will try to remember this...

I had to activate wifi manually then log into market by adding a sync account in settings.

I also had to manually go to location and select wireless networks for the weather widget to work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea, just that it's supposed to be included in the rom now I think. But yes, hopefully that would solve the problem...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I live and work in Surrey. I'm up for coffee sometime. Let's make it happen.

I have set my governor to SmartassV2 and profile to 652/352. Still getting stuttering. Not as bad as was, but still. Especially when I'm running Google Nav too. I wonder if it has something to do with .flac files. My music files are about 80% flac,10% ogg and 10% mp3. Maybe file type matters.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I've never tried music and maps together. Usually have endomondo with GPS on while biking.

Which reminds me..... anyone tried installing and running Endomondo on the new 1.3 rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bobbylouman:
I love this rom! It's amazingly fast for GB and has good stability.

Only problem which is already aware is the app not installing. For me its only two games (Gamedevstory and Impossible level pack) so it's not a big deal to me as I barley play any games now days. You wanna release your port of TeamHeroc's 2.3.7 GB as well? Must be good if your using it while working on this ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
The 1.3 rom available in the OP is the 2.3.7 release.

Previous version (1.3e) is 2.3.5..... in my opinion more stable and quicker than the 2.3.7 so far, but its only been out for a day or two.

I dont know what Goku does to the TeamHeroC CDMA roms but it works wonders on my GSM Hero.

WAY faster and more stable than all the other "big name" Gingerbread rom's. (my opinion only of course)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bobbylouman:
Yup I agree. Its defiantly MUCH more faster. Only problem is the apps not installing but I'm sure it will be fixed in a matter of days or so.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] clarkey15:
Been running the new rom for a few hours so far its amazing! Faster than any other rom I've used on my Hero. As for the apps not installing I'm just installing them with root explorer. Copy/paste into system/app change permissions then restart. Works fine as alternative workaround :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
This rom seems FAR faster than the other one. I haven't had any issues yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
I did test it and fc to. I did made a logcat .

I will post the logcat later on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Glad its not just me that's gettkngthe FC's

Running the 1.3e until I find a fix. Feels faster to me anyhoo.

Sent from HeroDeck using XDA App
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
LoL, yea, just a matter of days :-)

if only life were that predictable. I hope you're right though because I use the 1.3 version of this rom and adore it aside from that bug. But without the dev being paid to work on this 40 hours per week and without the dev actually being the full developer of this rom (he just ports it over, not that it isn't an incredible thing he does but it's not truly giving him insight into the workings on this rom as the original developer might have).... well it's possible it will never be fixed, and is not something that has a finite timeline or an eta.

If the dev figures out the problem and can fix it then the fix will probably be quick. The problem is he isn't aware of WHY this happens with these roms, and that leaves a lot of random possibilities yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hirencj:
Bro y don't you try to fix it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Because I'm way too busy to learn/do any hero rom hacking. I've tried a bit on this stuff and just don't know enough to really help out. What I do know though is how all of the cycle works since I've done stuff similar to this for almost 30 years and am a full time developer.

Just because I know how the process works doesn't mean I can solve the problems with a rom though... I wish I could and I wish the dev of this rom the best of luck. Just don't expect anything by a particular date. This isn't date based, it's a ratio of effort/knowledge/possible outcomes/random luck/outside help from more knowledgable people.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bobbylouman:
All you can do is hope :P

I pushed the apps which were not being installed through terminal emulator and 4/6 worked fine. Not sure what the apps not installing problem is but, I'm guessing its because of this being for CDMA.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I'm still running 1.3e and after applying Don's "hack" I'm not having any Market issues. I also don't seem to be having any app install issues either. The only issues I've had are 2 reboots, both when running Waze (which I've NEVER had any real success with), and the music stuttering issue, which I've had with several GB roms.

I really love this rom and will not install the 2.3.7 until I hear there are virtually no problems. I think this may be the longest I've stuck with the same rom on my phone since my pre-root 1.5 days (man that seems so long ago).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Rootex using that method still never works for me in 1.3. Odd... will try again sometime.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] clarkey15:
I've noticed it only works if there are no spaces in the filename, although I'm pretty sure underscores will work too.
