That part is only for devices without physical buttons actually, that's why we don't have it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh ok. I thought maybe it was related to how we are also missing the same amount of the bottom of the portrait mode keyboard....

coincidence? I wonder....

maybe the keyboard in portrait mode isn't aware that our device has hard buttons and therefore is missing the rendering area for those bottom buttons?

I wonder how it works if I install a third party keyboard?

next thing to try!

edit: htc_ime mod works fine, shows full keyboard in portrait mode. so at least we can use alternative keyboards ok. seems pretty quick too compared to the stock android 4 keyboard which is a little slow, even after turning off vibrate in stock kb.

:-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
my data connection is definitely iffy... yes it works, but eventually stops working and I seem to have to reboot to get it back.

maybe that's my market issue too since it kicked off wifi during my last market download attempt and maybe has kicked off every time Iv'e tried the market downloads for all I know...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
I wonder if the keyboard issue is due to our screen resolution. Maybe it needs to be resized?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sreenath_pkd:
Flashed the rom but it never seems to reboot. Stuck at the 'HERO' screen.

Btw, this is what I got:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Random offset: 0x336

Install from sdcard complete

The keyboard might work if you change the DPI. Try it! :)

HI there

I installed it yesterday..what shall i say...waoooooo...look and feel on hero ..nice job..good work...

waiting for next update...its already fast enough to use ...by the way i did not have any reboot so far..yeah battery last less, does not matter, i know with development it will improve with other things...

thnax ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
well seems that people love this rom, and i agree:D...didn't tested alpha 4, but i was wondering if this rom hasn't some problems from the kernel module....:-??... and i think we need to run the new marker...since the old one seems to not work...or is it just me:)) ?

@ developer: keep up the good work:D

How awesome is the speed of the new browser. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
i'm sorry if you already explained that somewhere....but how do you do that exactly? :D

edit: like this: http://androidforums.com/hero-all-things-root/156418-changing-lcd-dpi.html ?? can't try it now....have to go to the university...but will try it later today...

and do you have any idea what the issue with the reboots could be? can i do something to help find the issue?

and something else: do you think, that hardware acceleration will ever be possible on the hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
how did you fix the touchscreen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
I tried something else again, but the connection to my carrier still buggs the phone out.. unless I remove the phone.apk.. but that will remove data to. BTW I do not have data when I leave the phone.apk. it says it has, on the lockscreen. But in fact I do not have it :( Wifi works fine and all that stuff but mobile data and mobile connection is a no go. The lib hack did get my phone connected but now it still reboots like crazy. :( And well the error stays the same. process phone dies and when it tries to restart it, well the phone hangs and then reboots.... I will try to post a full logcat when I get to it. but that darn thing fills so darn fast after the crash.. :(

Ok just had an idea but when I get back to my laptop I will check it. Maybe it has something to do with some left over data from my old rom?? Just thinking out loud here. Will check it out later. but I do not think that it is the case actually.

ICS test

Ok, just gave this thing a go. Phone calls working perfectly, although I must have ended dozen calls accidentally by pressing phone against cheek :), so you might want to end up with something clever here :). Messaging also working and very fast to. New web browser just rocks, speed is amazing. Speakers not working for notifications as you already know, but working fine if I play something through a music player. Handsfree doesn't work no mattter what I try. Never succeded to start market, after entering my email address and password it just hangs "comunicating" with servers and after a while ist says yhat I don't have connection. Also flashed htc_ime_mod and while input is working I can't seem to enable word completition. Every time I press suggested word the "htc ime mod stopped working" message pops up. That's about it, I can't remember anything else but if I do I'll write it up :)

All in all, pretty *ucking awesome job man. Just keep working.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
omg ICS for my good old hero. just downloaded this, installing right now!!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's normal. on first boot give it 15 or 20 minutes to get past hero screen. and make sure you wipe everything, data/system/cache/dalvik before flashing this rom and trying again.

cheers!

---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

yea htc ime mod hangs a lot as it turns out.

so far the best keyboard I've foudn out of my collection is the paid app Smart Keyboard Pro. since my market won't download anythign I couldnt' install it's dictionary, but it still works great and is very fast and always has been one of my favorite looking and typing keyboards (it looks like the iphone keyboard actually).

but I'm sure there are other ones that are great too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] codnik:
Oh yeah, I'd like to know that as well. I was even hoping ICS would run smoother than GB due to hardware acceleration.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
ok i googled this issue a bit...and found out that some lg users have an issue quite similar.....they solved it by formating/removing/unmounting the sd card..... MAYBE it could be something like this....nothing to lose^^ so i'll try it when i'm at home....since i still do not believe it is an issue with the phone.apk or the radio itself (since we seem to be the only ones with the issue....)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kekeren:
same issue here, phone keeps rebooting with the simcard inserted.

@reboot issue: removing sd card doesn't work....i'll try to make a logcat
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
All the best dkelley.

From stealing from other threads it seems the problem with Market not downloading apps seems to have to do with this:

I/ServiceManager(607): Waiting for service drm.drmManager
W/DrmManagerClientImp(Native)(607): DrmManagerService not published, Waiting

It's been suggested that we need the "latest kernel"

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
I got the idea that there are left-overs from a previous ROM. Are you sure you wiped dalvik/cache/data?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
yes...it was the first thing i thought of....but even if i do it several times....the results are still the same... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
I hate the same problem. I am going to use CWM to then wipe everything like crazy and then I am gonna install this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Did you try wipeing using ele's adb command?

mount /system && rm -rf /system/* && umount /system

??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
maybe i used it wrong?? but i tried it...no success either...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
At the updater-script

format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "0");

Is the last argument really required? Maybe that causes the error?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
hmm i made a new logcat:

Dont stop trying mans! You can do eet!

(shame i wont have my hero much longer, getting sensation XE soon)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Sorry for the late update, I've been away with the union this weekend.

You shouldn't use the HeroC repo. Check out http://github.com/TeamICS. We have a GSM Hero device tree there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Ah crap,I guess I should have asked first,ill check it out tomorrow after my lab exam,anything else I should keep in mind?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
There's some fixes in ICS_FIXES, read the readme and it'll tell you how to patch those files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
@stritfajt: any idea? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Does it work without the SIM-card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
yes...perfectly....(like....everything else works what works in alpha4)....i'll make a logcat without simcard in a minute if you need it

edit: and it works with the sim card inserted, but flightmode on (but only if its in flightmode on boot...if i change to flightmode after the boot i still get a reboot...but after it restarts it stays on)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Have you tried the latest radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
here's the log without sim:

and i tried following radios:

63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 (latest)

63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14

and this kernels:

built-in flykernel13

Las_Venturax-0.6.0

and wifi works perfectly too...no other roms had issues like this either...so its not an hardware issue or an radio issue i guess
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkmansd:
hmm....mine is a german sim (o2 germany).....so....what do german and dutch sims have in common ??? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I think the protocol in the benelux and germany XD.... something hold on a sec. got an idea.... hope ics still has support for it. Cuss well in short dutch does not got WDCMA crap.. and the standard is WCDMA, and GB and earlier would somehow work. I always set it to GSM auto something XD

backup in progress and then i am gonna try it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no problem René :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I am off this rom again, the speed it nice but the Radio reboots all the time are a no go. I tried 3 versions of the radio and well all 3 a no go. I must say I got an unlocked SPL or what ever the short name is. But no other rom has impact on it. But I also read that ICS works with libs completly different then GB so using a GB lib is not the best. it may work for most people but me, apperently not. to bad though.

gonna see how the radio logcat for Floyo 1.3 looks.

and already it upgraded RIL to 3 from 2 XD

Not even 1 CDMA thingy in the whole thing, atleast some KPN stuff. since that is my provider XD

I forget to tell you, my hungarian sim working well in holland networks in roaming, so, i dont think its a network type problem.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thanks for this post. When I get time for some more work on this, it's nice to have a list of stuff to work on.

The HeroC ROM should be exactly the same as this one, as we build it from the same repo and help each other out with problems. Have you tried flashing the gapps package from that thread? I believe that GPS and Wifi/data location will work after that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no I haven't - seems to me that gapps should have nothing to do with my navigation apps being able to see the location. maybe there's something a little extra special in that gapps package though :-)0

I also assumed (maybe incorrectly?) that cdma gapps wouldn't run on gsm phones.... but I suppose that isn't logical now that I think about it.

In the cdma thread the dev also points out that he disabled the broken gl rendering setting that is in the rom, thereby allowing google maps to work correctly (apparently google maps doesn't work in teh rom without that fix).

I wonder if that guy isn't pushing his changes back into the repo? if he's doing cool things and not pushing back, or if there is a new build that has fixes which aren't in your build, it would be interesting to see these improvements on the gsm hero.

but first of all I'll try your suggestion and flash their gapps and try some nav apps! maybe it "just works"!?

:-D

this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346753&page=27

indicates that they have successfully built the camera app now for cdma hero although it seems likely that there are still hardware compatibility issues not dealt with - but they're certainly making headway there :-)

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

ok, yea I think we need a new build here for gsm version:

from cdma forum, it's clear that gapps aren't the gps fix container, the rom itself has improvements to fix gps. also yesterday they fixed wifi issues.

they have builds addressing these features in this thread:

I have no idea if it's gsm compatible or even if it works, but worth a try!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I just tried copying some missing files into this rom based on my diff analysis of what they changed in the cdma version. I took the files from gb roms here so who knows if anything will work... but I'm rebooting now to see if I get gps functionality and so on.

oh and I forgot that I have to edit build.prop as well to change the egl value (ends in 6 in our rom, cdma changed it to a 7 at the end of that number like 65537 or something which disables (breaks...) the newer egl stuff which in theory is supposed to allow google maps to run on the hero ok).

so I'll try that too.

will let ppl know...

~~~~~~~~~

UPDATE:

huh - gps files added in does nothing. maybe I did it wrong? anyway it's something for someone to try. like there is no hero gps file in the alpha 4 rom we're running, but there is in the cdma one, so that is likely why gps doesn't work for us.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkest.shadow:
I tried aplha 4 yesterday. I was really surprised about speed.

-call works-I heard the other side, and the other side heard me, but after 30 or 60 seconds call ends. this was happen about 4 times in a row

-internet in browser worked fine, but when I tried connect to Google account to sync - there was no internet connection

Hi

The gapps package (Hero-C) messed up my google account and market. I had to reflash the ICS 4.0 rom again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
heh heh - my concerns were right.

and I'm 100% certain that the gps fix is in the gps file I trie dpushing to system/lib/hw but as noted it didn't work for me.

maybe there's some other file, or maybe a config file, that must point at the gps lib to make it work? or maybe one can't just grab the gps hw file from a gsm hero gb rom and expect it to work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Cool we have the same phones and providers, same part of Slovakia and we have the same issues.... at least there is consistency :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
You would just have to push NetworkLocation.apk from gapps to see if data/wifi location works.

And the fixes on that HeroC build should work for GSM Hero too once I get a some time to develop. I got a lot in school right now. Jaybob and the other HeroC devs usually email me when there are new fixes.
