we might as well get used to it.... one day she will do something significant that changes all of our lives. I predict this... Lira is far too curious, hard working and intelligent for this not to happen.

Either that or we'll see some type of villain character in an upcoming batman movie named Lirasina where a clever young girl, frustrated by the state of the world, invents a viral cell phone hypnosis app to take control of everybody's minds LoL

You wouldn't do that to us, would you Lira?

Hmmmm.... maybe you already did and we just didn't notice because it's working so well!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
HeroC seems to have a nice bit of progress....

Anything we can use?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Yep, as soon as Stritfajt has time to work on this :-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Of course :)

Wish I could help. But I've not been able to complete compiling....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
i haven't really kept up with the HeroC development. Is it the audio and touch screen fixes you're talking about? I found som patches for that on github, so I'll compile it right away. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schlehdorn:
audio, trackball and su functionality was fixed. galery2 was replaced by the old one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I'll fix that for our heroes too then :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I just compiled the new version with the audio fixes. This release fixes audio and trackball navigation. From this release, we leave the alpha stage. Basic phone functionality is working fine from now on, and to reflect that, I call this release Beta 1.

Enjoy: http://www.mediafire.com/?pdf7i81cb4mulao :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Nice, just have to give it a try again :P

I just hope we can improve the speed, I don't buy the "faster than 2.1 with Sense" thingy :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
awesome christmas present :-)

thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, tried it for a while, much improved functionality.

biggest issue I have at the mometn is that titanium restore'd apps don't show up - they "restore" but then aren't there. strange problem...

su works which is nice, setcpu 691 makes it somewhat usable now but of course still slowish. and obviously turn off animations and the keyboard vibrate and popup effects and any tap vibrate and those red alert things, all able to be done in the dev tools app.

didn't try location/gps because I had to restore to another rom finally (I need a reliable phone right now but wanted to give it a shot first). several apps in market say "not compatible with this device" now, must be listed as not compatible with android 4 or somethign like that. file manager that works is file expert (if anyone is considering es or astro which apparently aren't compatible any more).

the new startup wizard is cool :-)

besides speed (which might be impossible), that titanium backup/restore compatibility is a big one for us rom flashers.

anyway, great work on the recompile - just post these thougths back to the cdma forum I guess mr. dev so they can mull them over a bit or whatever.

didn't get a chance to try gps, new sounds, location in any way at all, and so on.

the market works quite well (about as fast as the rest of the rom).

cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
i think this is because of a incompatible dpi....maybe changing that could help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Correct, I used my personal build.prop and didn't think about the DPI. I also ****ed up on the gallery I believe. There will be an update tomorrow that fixes these things.

As for the speed issues, the ICS launcher slows stuff down quite a bit. Personally, I run the gingerbread launcher and for me it's good enough for a daily ROM. I'll make some sort of a "lightness-script" later on that removes the launcher and some other stuff and replaces them with gingerbread launcher for example, so those who want can get a faster ICS experience.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tenpin:
Now that is what I'm talking about! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
dude no worries, thanks for sharing and for being honest about a couple little errors in your personal build. and I love how sincere you are - you've never promised more than you can deliver.

thanks again for all of this hard work in those moments when you're not super busy with other aspects of your life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] niyesuh:
I suppose you have forgot to change the titel of the topic, the date that is written is the date of the previous version and not of the Beta1 version, sorry if I'm whining. I used your rom for 2 weeks, but I found it to slow and just to buggy for daily use and I'm now using Cronos Ginger X 2.4.0 again with Android version 2.3.7 and that's just working excellent for me super fast and for me bug free, but I'm pretty sure that in no time you're going to accomplish to build a rom as reliable and fast as the one I'm using right now. Thank you for all the effort and when you are further in your progress I'll definitly go back using your rom again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thank you for pointing that out, I fixed the title now!

I also updated the OP with Beta 1.1, this have the standard DPI setting. I also uploaded a "Light-script" that removes bloat and replaces the ICS launcher with ADW wich makes the ROM a lot more usable :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Downloaded both and installing now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Still no working BlueTooth I'm afraid... Jaybob posted an ugly hack to make it working in the HeroC section if you're interested. Basically, you have to issue a command through ADB directly after trying to mate two BT devices or something. I don't have anything to test on so I can't say for sure it it would be working for our devices too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Well that is not really a problem if the audio jack was working XD

Wich it doesnt, if I put somehting in then well there is static but no sounds from my headset. And according to m GF the audio still commes from the phone speaker. Wich I got no use for XD

For the rest, nice speed overal, for ICS and thats about it what I tested so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Ahh! Jaybob seems to have fixed tha for the HeroC, I'll have a talk to him to see what made it work for him. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I have a crazy thought: this real ics rom beta 1.1, flash light script to put in the completely buggy adw launcher ....

<rant>....(I just tried using adw for 2 days and almost shot myself with the annoyances of this launcher - seriously, it is so completely unintuitive and gets into editing modes where things get accidentally rearranged or deleted all the bloody time... I hate that launcher)....

</rant>

.... anyhow, then go in and install the free ICS launcher from the market (which is a knockoff but a really good one aside from widget support being completely old-school style compared to real ics launcher).

in my floyo install I find the ics launcher from market to be quite quick and useful on a daily basis. I wonder if it's any faster than the REAL ics launcher in this rom?

if it is then this might be a bizarro hack to make this rom more responsive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I've tried the one from market, and it is indeed a bit faster, although i prefer ADW. So yeah, if you want the ICS look, install this ROM with the light script and then install ICS launcher from market :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
one other nice thing about the one in the market - IT SUPPORTS SCROLLABLE WIDGETS. stock android 4.0.1 launcher STILL doesn't support this, damnit.

your beta 1.1 has the cutoff portrait keyboard again. I guess that was your fix for the keyboard before, change the dpi.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Ahh, I don't use the stock keyboard. ICS keyboard from market should work though, I'll mention it in the first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Just a crazy idea, why not only change the DPI off the keyboard? I do that in all my roms. and it works nice for me atleast. I don't need such big buttons only 1/3 of my screen is keyboard :P havent tried it with this. Not gonna do. cuss I need my phone so I made a new CM 6.1 rom based on Cronos Froyo :P Atleast it works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool! didn't know you could do that.... actually, how DO you do that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Jheez even got a PM. I wrote that all sleepy and when I smashed send I fell a sleep XD and I already got a PM about it...

Well I am gonna test it after I made a nandroid.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Fix for the keyboard on the current build and all the next ones.

Add this like to the build.prop

qemu.sf.lcd_density=140

Still need to try out the 160 though

Or extract the atatched zip and push it to /system

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Ok only 140 will show the full keyboard. the keyboard is fixed to a certain hight on the screen and changing the DPI on the keyboad makes it go down and not up, like in 2.3 or less versions of android. so 140 is the only one that shows the full keyboard.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

And back to my 2.2 rom :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thank's Lirasina, I'll fix that.

Jaybob replied to my email with a patch for headsets, so I made a new build: http://www.multiupload.com/D0WHOLT68A :)

I don't have any headset with a microphone, but I was able to listen to some Ramones tunes through my regular head phones. Some one else will have to try microphones :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badyl:
Google Talk missing?

Is it only me or there is no Google Talk app in the rom?

Thanks,

badyl
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
It's not in there. I might include it in the next release if I remember it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I wouldn't imagine that I was!

anyhow - running this and damn but I like the tron-ish new UI of ICS! cool, quite responsive overall, and very sexy!

it hasn't made any noises yet though - I'm thinking sound isn't working yet (if this was pointed out already then I'm sorry).

it keeps saying "sim card found, restart to enable data" or similar, I keep hitting that restart button and nothing happend for several times of that alert. but thsi time it did restart the phone. however I tried making a call and it still say no access.

touch scree nis great now- who cares if occasional pointer image is left behind.

phone/data are priority now, and also sound if I'm right about sound not working.

the new dialer is sexy!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Downloading now but will flash at a more sociable hour......... by which time it'll be fully operational.

I can live in hope I suppose. Good luck fella's.

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

Mediafire not allowing download. Will try again tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
Man, this is great. I was having second thoughts about keeping Hero but not anymore. This phone will live forever and it doesn't deserve to be sold. Keep up the good work.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
seriously guys - I ran alpha 2 and it was nearly as responsive as pico or other not uber fast but still usable roms. and those roms have a ton of work done to speed them up!

if this thing didn't keep popping up alerts about not having a sim card then I'd have kept it running longer so I could really get to know it... the wifi worked perfectly!

but the alert for sim issues prevents use of the rom - it keeps appearing and I can't cancel it, just have to accept it. and when it works right it actually reboots your phone (by design).

so if that sim card thing can get fixed then we'll be ready to really test this thing out. possibly... just possibly... even use the thing daily.

but again I wasn't sure about the sound output - I never heard anything but couldn't really test it properly.

'Forced-hardware acceleration' can be turned on and off by changing "one line of xml" according to vergecast-003 (10:45)

haha I got this to boot on my pandigital novel with a lot of elbow grease. Just waiting for source to finish downloading - it's only taken me 3 or 4 days now... Anyone in a giving mood? I'd love to see what was changed to fix compiling for armv6 - or did you just compile for armv5? A repo to peruse would be very helpful
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
Glassmacka alpha 2 rom installed, seriously bloody well done mate !!! :D

just need to get google accounts on there

and squeal :D :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Seriously. It's awesome! After trying alfa 2 I'm certain that we at some point will have ICS rom stable enough for daily use. While the launcher is pretty slow, the people app (without any content :P ) is reaaaaally smooth! :D And I haven't really come across much bugs, some graphical bugs and some apps suddenly closing, but for an alfa it's aaawesome :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Actually, if you press outside of the message, it usually goes away. But yeah, we need a fix!

You can also enable it from settings! It's in Settings> Developer Settings I believe. Haven't really tested if it gives us much of a speed increase. We actually don't even have proper graphics driver support yet so I doubt it!

I compiled it for armv5te. I'll leave the porting of Dalvik to the Cyanogen devs! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
guys my weekend is free (except kids) so if you have an pre-alpha builds you want installing and feedback given more than happy to do so.

Just stunned at what a beautiful rom it is :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bisu007:
Awesome:)

Dude, you're my god.

Work on and good luck:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Notn4:
Hope this one gets to a usable state :) and also love the name :D ganska fyndigt ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slobo2712:
i can't find camera app and message app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guy_smiley:
My hero used to complain about no sim card with custom roms. My solution was to turn off the pin code. Hth
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
This is real crazy! ICS on my Hero now :D

Using WiFi and the default browser to surf web. No problem at all :)

Make one call out and used my land line to make a call in to my mobile.

Was able to make call connection both times but only the earpiece on Hero could be heard......the micpiece on mobile was not functioning.

Used another mobile to send me a sms but realised there's no message app.

No camera app as well but there's Gallery :rolleyes:

Gallery was also not fully functionable anyway...photos from my SD card only partially viewable in Thumbnails view but not in full enlarge view.

Cool! The general feeling right now is that ICS on Hero is quite responsive and not draggy at all. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Did you manage to make a call on this ROM?! You don't get the "You've entered a new SIM card and have to reboot"-popup all the time? Weird!

Where are you from and what's your provider?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
yep call functionality works ok

could you add the following:

messaging

google account functionality

android market

rom manager

that would be the best christmas present ever !!!

please don't take this post as arrogance, i couldnt do a better job, just really to keen to use this as my daily rom :D

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

what is the recommended method for updating between releases, in my stupidity i wiped cache and data prior to flashing rom.

Installed Market 3.3 which kicks me out of the app, due to lack of framework i guess
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
I'm in Singapore and provider is SingTel.

Yup, strange that i didn't encounter the 'SIM card' prompt/reboot thing during my brief ICS spell.

But I could flash back again if you need more test feedback :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
This is very weird. I can't seem to establish a network connection. Sometimes it shows what provider I'm connected to but when I try to make a call, I'm getting told that I'm not connected to the network. I'll have to investigate this!

Could anyone who's able to make calls do a adb logcat and see if they're getting this nasty error every 15 seconds: http://pastebin.com/UDZ1n1Ji?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Everyone but loxxy has that issue plus simcard alerts and no phone or data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
I'm testing it. Works well, wifi better than GB. Apn list is missing & still can't install mybackup from market. Will keep on testing. PS preferences don't work either. Thanks again. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
What preferences? Something in the settings menu? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
New build: http://www.multiupload.com/7QNNQFQU4V

This should according to Jaybob fix bluetooth, try it out! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Yes, should be launcher preferences when you press menu. Can you do a list of known issues so I don't bug you with it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
In the stock launcher? I don't think there should be a preferences menu for the stock launcher. In ADW there's a "ADW settings", and that one is working fine for me. "Preferences" is only for Launcher Pro I believe.

The bugs know of is the lack of HW acceleration and Camera. I might have forgotten some smaller bug though.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot the APN list of course. That was actually there in earlier releases, I'll fix it again :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
No its for stock launcher. I don't have any other launchers installed. Gallery2 also only works until you try to scroll or anything then it FC. Maps & MyBackup Pro is still not "compatible" :D

Thanks for your efforts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
There is preferences in stock launcher. There you can for example enable resizing for 3rd party widgets

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] homais:
rom look very good...and is performing ok.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
I thought this might be useful. This is Beta without the BT fix.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GVAIi5yiKQ
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MongooseHelix:
There are no preferences for the stock launcher. You all are thinking of CM's modification of the stock launcher called trebuchet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
I noticed that you have QuickSearchBox.apk in the rom and GoogleQuicksearchBox.apk.

I advice to remove one. the one that is not used. in this case QuickSearchBox.apk And same goes for Provision.apk since you got SetupWizard.apk in it.

And I wish I could test BT, but I can't cuss the car that had the BT stuff, well it got ripped to nothing by some thiefs....

So its a car only XD no radio :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
I'm not sure where its from but you can see it in the video. Another observation, youtube not working and I'm not sure about regular videos either as there is no player. Managed to push maps and mybackup. Maps looks NICE :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MongooseHelix:
That's the Trebuchet launcher that CM is working on for their CM9 builds. I had forgotten that the hero and heroC builds are using CM source repos so it is being included in the ROM. Trebuchet is a work in progress so while the options might be there, they may not all do anything yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
using 1.3 but has lost usb connectivity (enabled usb developer mode), if i reload another ROM everything is ok.

Also getting app is not compatible when attempting to download facebook from market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Ahh, could this be the reason why the launcher is so slow? Because It's a wip? We could try to use the stock launcher to see if there's any difference :-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
If I use Launcherpro on this, it is almost the same speed as GB. For me atleast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
But using launcherpro pretty much defeats the reason to use this Rom. For me at least.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badyl:
Is your code available somewhere so I can download GTalk apks? Or maybe you could send me them somehow?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
The code is on http://github.com/TeamICS but since GTalk isn't open source, that won't help you. Just flash an google apps zip and you'll have it. I would recomend the one from the HeroC's ICS thread since I know that GApps package works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Found it :)

Link To Trebuchet thread

Mr Stritfajt, it mentions that it works only with 4.0.3, we're still on 4.0.1 right?

Any possibility of just using stock launcher or using 4.0.3 source?

I can also confirm the USB issue as well as the market, gallery and video issue.

Keep up the good work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
4.0.3 sources didn't compile for me the last time I tried it, but I didn't have much time to investigate it. I will be looking at it. I won't be home untile new years eve to do any work though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Damn you! You're not allowed to take a break :D

Enjoy your holidays. Is anyone working on a Kernel for ICS on the GSM Hero? HeroC has Data Usage etc. working because they backported some of the functions I believe. 2D Gallery works on this but of course it crashes while looking for your camera. Still usable though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I just ordered a new computer with the new AMD Bulldozer octa-core so compiling will be faster in the future! Looks like I'll be eating a lot of oatmeal the next month though ;)

I haven't tried working on the kernel, I only modified the initscripts to get market working, but I might look in to it later.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biodump:
sd-ext

stritfajt , i try to automount sd-ext and sd-swap but i can't.

i put the commands in /init*.rc but doesn`t work.

then, i create the file /etc/fstab:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 none swap auto 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext auto defaults 0 0

the standard way in all linux distros, but doesn`t work again.

then, i add in the file /etc/vold.fstab:

dev_mount sdext /data/sdext auto /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmcblk0p2

dev_mount sdswap none auto /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmcblk0p3

doesn`t work again.

any idea ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Does it work if you run the commands manually from ADB? In that case, you could unpack the boot.img and edit the init.rc in the ramdisk, that should work. I can't see why the normal fstab settings doesn't work though.
