[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
just and FYI to other users - I personally had to reboot once to get wifi to run (showed "Error" by default). I don't know if default hot reboot works or not because I dind't want ot waste time experimenting so I disabled the warm reboot or fast reboot or whatever it's called in power settings.

so a full reboot solved it for sure.

just pointing that out.

doing a bit tit restore right now so can't check things like which kernel version is included, but I'm wondering if usb can be solved with build.prop mods.

anyway - impressed so far - much faster than previous builds.

Hintay, I don't know if you're involved in the original version of this rom before it's ported to gsm hero, but either way thanks for all your hard work.

that's the right idea. I haven't checked it to see what the ohters settings are, or what it ws set to before you upped it to 690.

but that is how you do it. and yes it won't work without SU permissions, and you should have "set on boot" set otherwise when you reboot it won't take effect until you run setcpu and do this again. that's a safety measure I think so you can push overclock speeds too high if you want to be stupid but still reboot into safe speeds LoL. I never go above safe speeds so always click "enable on boot" so I get the speeds working on next reboot.

if the lower speed is lower than 352 than bring that up to 352 as well. otherwise it can get sluggish in the gb sense roms. in fact you can bring that up higher also but you'll eat battery faster the higher that lower speed is set to.

just found that using setcpu with the following settings is pretty cool:

a) change default governor to ondemand (I know, trust me). 352-671.

b) add profile for screen off, same speeds, conservative governor, priority 50 is fine (which is the default).

c) add profile for charging, same speeds, performance governor, priority 60 (or 51 or anything higher than the screen off profile).

notes:

a) and b) work together to give good performance (imho better than sa2 with this type of rom) and decent battery life with screen off. screen on may not have great battery life but it never does on the hero anyhow.

c) is a nice-to-have - if you run your phone while charging at work like I do, might as well get the most out of it (performance governor pins the speed at max frequency the whole time, screen on or off in this case LoL).

For me this all feels WAY better than sa2 governor with these gb sense roms.

oh, and turn off all animations in the display setting menu.

*******************

Here's my first feedback and fix-request for hintay:

There are two chinese social networking apps in there instead of peep and facebook. RenRen and Sina Weibo are useless to most of us. fb and peep are vital for friendstream to have any purpose outside of china.

friendstream is, effectively, useless in this rom as a result.

can you please post a flashable zip to push peep and facebook apps from the previous working version of this or another gb sense rom?

that would be great, thanks

cheers

Don

an observation:

- no ext based apps2sd in this rom so it runs out of space pretty fast

- I let the market update itself rather than freezing the updater. the new market so far runs really well in thsi rom, better so far than in any other rom that I've tried. so at the moment I'm ok with the new market after it updates itself like it did.

- I'm using froyo style apps2sd (move to sdcard) to try to provide enough room to run my main apps. so far so good but certainly it's no where near as much room as one gets from ext-based apps2sd.
