1ceb0x, back to using your original build.prop, and Setcpu. Things seem more stable.

I'm looking for a notification toggle (cm-style) that has no icon when running (or only hides it, leaves a space.)

I will make a logcat, but I've tried aLogrec and all it seems to produce is an empty file. Should it not be dumping info on any activity I do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Seems stable than samm000's build.prop?

Glad to hear this.

As for the logcat, you cannot use any of the readers on the market because they will not work on ics. I've tried to make a log using android sdk but it seems that we need a file called 'main' in /dev/logs. I tried to make the file manually but then I've encountered an EOF read error on cmd. I forgot to make permissions for the respective file. Will make it again now and see how it goes.

As for cm notification toggle, I don't know what are you talking about. The notification toggle on ICS is nicer than any other available :).

Tell me if you have calls issue (your call is disconnected after some seconds)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
Well it is probably more stable because I reduced the cpu speed.

In a voicecall now, 2mins+. Call lost around 3 mins.

6mins+ this time and still going...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Did you checked the box "Force GPU rendering" in Develop Options?

Is it stable because I've added graphical tweaks and some tweaks to speed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
Yeah, 'Force GPU rendering' is enabled. In a voicecall now, 10mins+.

I ended the call myself at 22mins.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
10 minutes without disconnecting? What's your settings on network? GSM ONLY, or WCDMA preferred?

(to see this, please go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* , then go to Phone information, scroll down and you will see the value above the button "Turn Off Radio").

as default the version is WCDMA preferred. What Radio firmware are you using?

also, did you installed Habarug's tweak to hide the end button call during a call? (it's in samm000's thread).

this information will be helpful! cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
WCDMA preferred. Radio: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11

I have not installed Habarug's tweak.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
and you had 10 minutes without disconnecting? you were able to end the call normally?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
It was 22mins when I ended the call myself.

Regarding notification toogle this is what I mean: 15 toggle status bar as implemented in this rom. Check the video.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Very ODD.

I have 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 on my device with WCDMA preferred but I keep getting call disconnected after 10 seconds or so.... regarding the notification status bar power widget, I don't know what to say. I'm not a dev so...

i'm trying to find a way to make a log cat of the calling issue because I don't really want to change my radio because my version seems to be battery friendly...

thank you for your support
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
Obviously the notification thing isn't even important right now. I shouldn't really have mentioned it.

I thought this radio was considered one of the best to be using, and find the battery life to be good on it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Don't know if its the best really. But I've flashed it anyway. Since this will end my calling interrupt, it will be a small price to pay if the battery doesn't play well.

Will test the voice calling. Btw, I am maybe working on RC2, with some new tweaks and fixed latinime.apk keyboard..

can confirm right now that the latinime.apk is fixed.

@Habarug: are you using my mod or sam's rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Thanks lost, will try your radio, im on .14 atom ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
Just to clarify, the radio I am using still has calls dropping with ics. It seems to happen at random times. 1 minute into a call, 3 minutes or not at all. Maybe it's because of the numbers I am ringing. I can't be sure they would not drop anyway. But it sounds like it is doing better than some other radios.

Also, what about having a build based off ics 4.0.4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
we have to fix this issues first and then talk about another version. anyhow, 4.0.4 is much laggier than this version. i saw a bit of logcat and some awkwardly errors regarding the "animations" but i was unable to save the log for future use.

I've asked Maclaw, a dev from Galaxy Gio/Fit/Mini who made CM9 possible on those device to look at our build and maybe with some luck he can see something that make this calls drop...

managed to past 3 minutes in call with your radio version lost101. cheers

L.E: I am unable to send PM's. so i cannot ask Maclaw for help.. too bad! I'll just have to post on their op!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Come on people.. test the build!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
wow 'HeroICS v3' is running on rocket power !!! what the hell

amazing job :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Hehe. Thank you for using it dude!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeatsByMessi:
just installed HeroICS V3 and so far so good. great job 1ceb0x :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Thank you for using it man!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
awesome! glad to hear you got this out
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Yeah. It is a good release :D!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey i also wanted to thank you 1ceb0x, i looked through your kernel in this release and found how you set minfrees at boot, its now working on my heroc. your awesome man, have a thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Hehe. No problem dude! Its good to help others out! That's why its called 'open-source' :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cet90:
That battery icon looks gorgeous!! anyone can make a flash-able update.zip for any rom? hehehe.. :p'

working now.. will try when i reach home.. :) thx 1cebox by prolonged our hero life...

wanna ask is the drop call issue fixed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
it is fixed indeed. now the only issue in a call is that you can hear yourself twice.. is like an echo... it is annoying! hopefully with the 4.0.4 port, this problem will be gone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kayant:
Great Work :)

I just recently got a hero to replace my stolen defy thanks to my friend by providing it :D ...... I just recently installed the new release and i most say it's one fastest roms i have used yet on the hero. I was wondering would it be possible to even run CM9 on this device as i recently compiled one from source using Evervolv and elelinux sources thanks to them.... I installed it and it booted to my surprise ;) but it's very unstable the system crashes launcher crashes, random bootloops so i can't play with it but it boots :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZyberXDA:
low voice volume bug?

I haven't updated to this one yet because I had an anoying bug on the previous one. People that I call could hardly hear me.

Because of this bug I switched to Habadecked and now everyone can hear me loud and clear again.

I might switch back if the low voice volume bug is solved.

I wonder if other people also have this or that it was a bug that only exist on my phone in combination with this ICS rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
kayant,

dont worry. we're (1ceb0x and i) on it. cm9 will be ported to hero gsm in no time. im running it already on my heroc and it runs pretty decently considering ics is a little bit of a hog.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
true that ;)! thanks to your great work we will have cm9 on our hero! expect a build these days!

@Zyber, try flashing a new radio after you flash ICS, since is a new android version.. I don't have this issue you are talking about.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kayant:
Thanks for the work whoshotjr2006 and 1ceb0x

I will be patiently waiting for it :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brat.haneq:
Hello everyone :)

Flashed without any problems, I'm glad that it's CM based (multilanguage!) :)

'll report in few days and talk about my experience :)

cheers and keep up the good work!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudio.fiuza:
Will flash over the weekend (need hero as everyday work phone) :D im excited about this one: ICS on Hero ? :D

Two doubts about it: stable as everyday phone ? and is las venturas 2.6.35 in it? if not, anything to win if flashed over the rom?

One more little message to whoshotjr2006 and 1ceb0x, if you ever come to northern Portugal a few beers have your names on them :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
It has already the latest and greatest LV Kernel 1.2+, so no need to flash anything optional. Just the rom and you are ready to go ;).

Thank you for the generosity. Who knows, maybe when I'll be much older I will visit Portugal :D!

It is stable as long as you don't expect to be as GB.... Video playback is sluggish to non existent (bad GPU support)... Don't know about playing games, I didn't tried it... Sms/calling/data all these works..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Co2p:
This Rom is flying!

Two strange things have however happened, and i also have one question:

Firstly after the install my button backlight refused to switch off (even after turning the screen off and waiting 30 seconds). However rebooting seems to have fixed this.

Then my phone decided (randomly) to phone itself :confused:

I also wondered if "swiping away" apps in the multitasking menu kills the app. Thought it might be a cool function...:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
What do you mean by that?

And after you swipe the apps from the multitasking menu you can go to Settings-Applications-Running and see if it is still running :)!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Co2p:
I turned my phone on, put it to charge and about 10minutes later it starts ringing. It says my number on the display. And when I pick up there are a series of loud beeps before it hangs-up.

Its just weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
TROLOLOLOLOLO phone =].

Maybe you have some spooky ghosts in your room! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] forever571:
nice! but battery has drain

GOOD JOB!

yestoday i installed the v3, it looks very nice, but one night pass , battery run down! 6 hours ago, the battery has 56%. :mad:

bluetooth cannot pair:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] axel199513:
I have only one question..when I hold home key, there appears running apps but they are like black boxes...can it be fixed?? Very good and fast rom:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulreminder:
I believe it's GPU related and won't be fixed since Hero sports an old and slow GPU Adreno 130 which only supports OpenGL ES 1.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Co2p:
Follow-up on my question:

Swiping does kill the main app and leaves the other processes (like notification etc.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
bluetooth is a known bug, as per battery I don't know what to say. I don't have that kind of problem. maybe you have an app installed that is eating the whole battery. oh, or you've forgot to turn off the mobile internet connection (you can by-passed that since the icon in the status bar is not working. i'm pretty sure that is your problem).

@paulreminder, thank you for your help. indeed, it is a gpu related issue and it cannot be fixed unless some dev will hack the adreno 200 drivers to work on our 130 version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeatsByMessi:
Its not a fix exactly but there is a file someone posted in a different thread that you can flash through recovery. Instead of having just black boxes it shows a picture of android eating an apple.

I'm using my phone atm so I'll have to link you to the file when I'm using my laptop (unless someone beats me to it)

That's very strange. My battery was excellent when I used this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulreminder:
Yeah, multitasking management could be fancy like the CM9 "Cornerstone" project or the latest HTC One series' customized "Recent Apps" feature. But as a matter of fact it's also tightly associated with GPU rendering, which I personally believe is too heavy for Hero.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

Could be more specific. CPU speed, data connection status, apps running in background during that period, even your battery condition matters.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Here you are dudes. Flash this from recovery :) It will show the Android eating an apple instead of black boxes in the Recent Apps menu.

@Thanks to Habarug for it and thanks to BeatsbyMessi because it has reminded me :)

Will add it into the next release (if it will be a new one).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulreminder:
Am flashing it now. :D Way hilarious!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Yeah :D it's sweet, instead of having nothing there...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kayant:
sorry if this is a bit off-topic i was worrying what would be the best base to use to port the cm9 that i recently built i want to take make my own personal rom for the first time :) I have got it to boot better by replacing the trebuchet launcher with stock launcher 2 and disabling hwui rendering by comparing the build.prop with your fantastic port :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
we don't have cm9 yet. i'm working on it right now and it will be posted in this thread if It will boot tonight :). you can then use that to make your personal rom (only for use - not for posting on xda)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kayant:
Thanks..... Don't worry i wasn't going to i don't consider it to be a rom it is more searching, copying and pasting and using my brain to figure out stuff :p , there is no development in that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manfio:
the app2sd working in this rom?

i loved the ics roms, but i need the app2sd :s
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
not working. don't know why. ics has a lot of things changed and app2sd script is in the place where it should be. but it won't work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulreminder:
@1ceb0x is it possible to do a little UI overhal for this ROM? As summer approaches I was wondering is there a way to tune the overall UI a little bit "lighter" rather than ICS's default black flavored background.

For instance, it would be cool if the whole system menu UI uses the same color solution as "People" app's. With white background and black/grey/ICS blue color for context, I thinks the screen should be more readable when outdoor.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
It is possible with a mod I've found. But it is kinda only for CM9. I've implemented in an experimental build that I was working on and the SystemUI didn't want to change it's colors :). If I can make the CM9 port to boot to life tonight, I will implement the mod for sure, because I too love those colors in ics :D. The combination of blue and white is just fabulous!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulreminder:
Thanks a million!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
No problem dude. I just hope the build will boot. And then things will get implemented.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jogai:
Are there things that dont work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
There are many things that will not work... for starters, some video rendering, wifi tethering, bluetooth..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jogai:
Thanks for clarifying. In that case I keep 1ceCream "BEAST" Flavor on my hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
...youtube app and video recording too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
That's what video rendering is: it includes also youtube.

@jogai, "BEAST" rom is more stable and fast than an ICS rom and for our little hero it is the best!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JassyNL:
Is GPS working on this one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gig11gs:
some one please re-upload this on a different host?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Yukikaze_nuce:
Thanks!!! Flashing :D Does this rom support ext partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Yukikaze_nuce:
Panorama and Music Force Close :(. Please tell me how to fix it:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Music should not force close, give it a moment to load your music files and then use it normal. About panorama I don't know because I don't use it. Keep in mind that this rom is merely an Alpha build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Yukikaze_nuce:
Thanks. I have known why :D. I have just recreat ext4 mount script and Music don't FC anymore :)). Panorama is still FC. And my Hero can not found my adhoc wifi network again :confused:. Any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevesoup:
cannot send mms (pic message). thanks.

Sent using XDA
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Co2p:
For my network I need two APNs, one for the internet and another for the mms server.

Check if your setup is right.

On the other hand I have never tried mms with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevesoup:
you may be right but I already moved on to the look alike gb version. much faster and way more stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudio.fiuza:
Is this good news for a faster ics rom for our heros ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Indeed they are but until they are built in CM9, we can't do anything. Hope they will be soon! Nice find my friend
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I'll have to take a look at it, but this looks really interesting! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:
@1cebox : Is there a way to get the CM9 theme chooser working with this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Actually, we already have access to their patches. It could be done today.

However, I'm not sure if these fixes are CPU-specific yet. They might only apply for certain CPUs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
I haven't tried it yet. Don't know if there is one for mdpi versions?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:
There is a lot of available themes : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1673456

Android 4.1 AOSP source is out - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/XBYeD-bhk1o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Nice find!

Unfortunately the computer I use for building died a couple of days ago and my laptop is just too slow to build JB with. Hopefully I'll get new parts this week so the development can start!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
development of jb for what? hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Hero, of course!

It's the only phone I have, so it'd be hard to develop for anything else. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kayant:
From this tutorial it seems that it should take near the same amount of power and storage needed to compile ICS for JB :) .... I can compile for you guys if you ever need it. It takes about 4 hrs for me to compile ICS on my old Intel core 2 duo with 2 gb of ram loool :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faZevoLv:
That'd be great:D, I'd be willing to test while I try to fix my laptop and start developing again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kayant:
Wish i could test it aswell but i can't since my screen is broken :( but always i think i should first build try and build a working stock ICS on our hero or if someone knows where to find working vendor and device trees for our device that would be helpful..... Thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aleksandar.1:
Icebox, is everything working on this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Not really. This was not updated in a while. You can check jordfaz's cm9. There the progress is much much greater than this.

I dropped my support for ICS because it doesn't move good enough to get as a daily driver for hero.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idiotzach15:
Hi, so today every time i would boot up my phone i noticed it took a really long time to recognize the SD card (32 GB SanDisk class 4 micro SDHC). Later in the day, aka a few hours ago, I rebooted my phone and it flat wont recognize the card is there. I've tried formatting through my computer, still didn't recognize the card was there. I tried formatting through cwm 5.5.x recovery and all i get is an error saying it cannot mount the SD. The only time i could even get it to recognize the card it said it was either blank or written in an unreadable filesystem, so i clicked format, but it seems not to format the card. I tried popping in a blank 4GB (micro SDHC class 4) i had laying around, and it worked no problem.

PLEASE HELP!!! I cannot fit my 14GB of Music on my tiny 4BG SD!!!

Thank you to anyone who responds in advance

!!!! Update!!!!!

Fixed!

I used the format SD program in the link provided by 216Monster below.

This program takes hours (I did a full format) but it works!

Please don't be afraid to hit the thanks button! :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
Download SD Formatter from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and see if that works for you, might end up with the same results.

Also did you try sd card in something other then your phone to make sure its not faulty?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idiotzach15:
Yes. luckily i found a 16gig card i had, which is working. but i will try that formatter now, thank you

Edit: sorry read that wrong.. but the case works fine in all my computers...but I tried another Android and it failed to work there also
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
I had the same problem with 2 16gb sandisk sdcards, never really figured out why it did that but every other brand works fine no problem at all

Another thing you could try is a sd card from samsung, im using a 32gb class 10 in my r800x and it works great!

http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MB-MSBGA/US-specs
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj360:
Pretty sure the class is one of the factors that determine if the SD card will work with your phone. 16 SD here.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idiotzach15:
Well I think all the cards I have are class 4... and the 32 gig card has worked for me for more than half a year
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj360:
Hardware failure? I've read a couple other ppl having issues with 32 gb. Kinda why I don't wana plot the money down work one if I don't know its gonna work.
