hey goliath

the opengl mod is no longer a suggested flash, in all actuality ive never seen it do any good in any ics rom yet. have you had luck with it and youtube in previous releases?

so in short, opengl mod cant be used on this rom. were just stuck without youtube until proper libs (if ever) come out for our devices. adreno 200 users got lucky, maybe petition qualcomm or htc for adreno 130 libs for ics? ill most definitely sign it.

as far as data2ext, ive never tried it so i cant say. but if you would like i can research into it and try it out. just let me know and ill start looking.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
I've grown attached to the (relative) speed of 4.0.3, how does the update compare? I'll be happy to test, but this is a daily driver phone so wiping is a bit of a hassłe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey shakes

in terms of stacking it up against 4.0.3, its a wee bit slower with a few more hangups. but not horrible, im using it full time right now

also 4.0.3 is kind of a dead end for us, as all the new things happening are on 4.0.4, and eventually 4.0.5. if you like 4.0.3, please stick with it. if you want to try out the new update, just make sure you nandroid first so you can jump back to it quickly and painlessly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
Ok, haven't actually tried youtube with opengl on other ics roms, but data2ext works just fine, tested it out today and got it installed and working correctly, so that's a definite relief.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey golaith (and everybody)

im testing some things out right now with those opengl 2 libs, and im not sure if i can tell a difference. part of me wants to think its snappier but the other part is unsure, so as soon as i can im going to upload a zip with the libs changed and build.prop changed accordingly for you to test. are you ok with adb? ill need you to check a few things for me after flashing the update.

edit: attaching opengls2hack.zip

please if anyone wants to try this, install in recovery, and then go into mounts and storage and mount system

then in command line type:

adb pull /system/lib/egl

libGLES_android.so should be 102.0kB and libGLES_qcom.so should be 533.5kB

then

adb pull /system/build.prop

and open up with notepad++ and check and make sure that the lines debug.sf.hw=1

and

ro.opengles.version=131072

are present. if they are, cool good to go. if not let me know, the update zip went wrong somewhere

you can check in android system information by electricsheep (app in market, easy to find) that opengl version is 2 (which at this point means diddly, but its a step.) youtube will still not work, i have somewhat of an abstract idea for a workaround that is nowhere near fruition, i have to brush up on my coding skills, but if it comes ill let you guys know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
Unfortunately no adb for me; I never learned it or how to get it working...either laziness or disinterest, take your pick lol. I did find that for me personally, I like to use the bigger ICS gapps for some reason(I think its the inclusion of Google's TTS and the gallery, which works fine for me btw), but I'm having trouble with installing both firerats and data2ext simultaneously. Used to be able to do it on GB roms, but not yet on ICS. Does anyone know if it's even possible to incorporate both when flashing?

Edit: After several attempts at working with firerats and data2ext with the larger ICS gapps, I got it to work perfectly! Cache has to be much larger than I anticipated so I had my mtd set at 190 60. Booted, signed in, boot to recovery, flash data2ext mod, boot, run scripts with terminal emulator, reboot, and it works flawlessly. I have the space I want in my /system and /cache, and 1gb of /data to work with for apps. Now to learn adb and fix youtube!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
This working quite well for me, with 2.42.01.04.27 - there seemed to be some question as to whether or not it would.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey kjjjjshab

thats good to hear that everything is working ok for you, i know with older radios ive ran into problems where roms wouldnt boot so to be safe i stick to the very latest one.

did you flash the opngls2hack.zip? if your proficient with adb care to make sure everythings working? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26449182&postcount=61

and if anyone could test mms and let me know if stock app is doing what its supposed to i would be absolutely greatful

edit: and hey goliath

can you make a detailed post on how you achieved the firerats and data2ext? i've actually never messed with either of them and am interested in the method
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
Yep, I plan to do some testing for you... just up waaaay to late last night to really begin. One glitch I found was that even though i followed your advice to boot/reboot, i still needed to reboot again to get wifi to see APs and it didn't grab my wifi password from google servers as it usually does...

Booted to 352/7xx instead of min 2xx... not sure why. it keeps 352 on reboot as well...

Didn't do opengl hack... yet? (might, not sure)

Google Voice doesn't seem to setup as it did under GB, but I can make calls, get VM etc, but it appears I need my outgoing number to show GV #... still testing...

Option to have wallpaper scroll appears to be greyed out...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
Deleted and moved to it's own thread for those who aren't using ICS. It'll work for non-ICS roms too, not sense though.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1672429
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey kjjjjshab

im not sure why it didnt grab your wifi password from google, i always type mine in manually (not efficient i know lol)

booting to cpu speeds of 352/7xx is normal, before in v3 i used an init.d script to manually set it that way, but if you go much lower than 352 as a bottom it drags performance way down.

as for google voice, i only use it for texting, so im not sure about calling. im on a plan with expensive minute use and unlimited data, so to call i usually use grooveip (which i havnt tested with this, i probably should)

which launcher are you using? i use zeam so wallpaper scrolls auto for me, stock launcher is way to laggy for me

also, thanks goliath, im going to have to try that out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
Stock is a bit laggy, but I gotta have fun with "pure" ICS for a while before switching it out to zeam...

Thanks again for all your work on this...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
if i remember right, you can use apex in place of the stock launcher, and it has the same feel and everything, but is much less laggy.

im pretty sure the procedure goes as so:

download apex launcher apk

rename it to Launcher2.apk, or whatever name the stock launcher uses

adb push it to /system/app and then adb reboot and it should work right

if you go that method, check out the init.d script 06loopy_smoothness_tweak in /system/etc/init.d and change the value of one of the lines at the top

also thank you for trying this, lol its been a long road and its only gonna get longer. im determined to not let this device go the way of the dinosaur, at least until i can get an evo or some variation of it (which wont be for quite a while)

edit: forgot to say this, also use the minfree and checkminfree scripts attached to the op, and run v6 supercharger (use script manager for all this) it goes a long way in speeding the rom up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
I've always been a little more lazy and used AutoKiller, SetCPU, etc. for tweaks...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
Couple things I have noticed...

Since the hero doesn't have a proximity detector, it is very easy to hang up with people since the end call button is now much larger... in the stock sense, you could set the hardware button to turn off the screen rather than hang up the call... something like this is desperately needed in this rom.

The emergency dialer doesn't show up on a pattern unlock screen, but if you select just under the Sprint text, it is accessible.

I cannot get the camera to register my attempts to change the photo resolution...

Does anyone know if JIT is enabled? Everything I have read on CM says it will require a ~daily reboot if in use...

The Surface Dithering needs to be enabled to clean up the display... not sure how to do that...

Keyboard gets very laggy for me... but does eventually catch up to inputs, so im not sure if it is the new spell check that causes the issue (i have haptick turned off, but it doesnt help).

I found Nova and Apex to run just as slow as stock so I am sticking with it for now (it really isnt all that bad at all).

All and all, this really is good enough for daily use as far as I am concerned... just needs some polishing to make it perfect. NICE WORK EVERYONE!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey kjjjjshab

camera resolution is a pain, but it does work. keep pressing the little arrow button, and it will move up or down after a press or 2

i dont believe jit is enabled, i could be wrong

surface dithering, i think that might be a cm only feature, im not sure

keyboard is a little wonky, but way better than the one i previously had in the rom pack

as far as the emergency dialer and the prox detector/screen shutoff for call, you could try asking in the eris forums as that is where my port came from, those guys are real devs, i just port roms and fix what i can.

thanks for using eligorom and im going to keep at this until we have a stable ics rom to work with
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
In the advanced keyboard settings there are some options that try to guess the next word, etc. that i now have turned off... I'll need to see if that helps...

System Settings > Language and input > Android keyboard settings (the little icon) > Other options (Advanced settings) >

Suggest Contact names

Bigram suggestions

Enable recorrections

Maybe with those off it will speed up some...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
Figured it out... it won't let me change the resolution while the camera/menu is in landscape, but as soon as I turned the phone to portrait view i could make the adjustment.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
Market settings don't allow for setting a password prior to purchases (greyed out) with this rom... any idea why?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
not quite sure, ive never bought an app from the market lol ive only bought straight from the developer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
thanks to 1ceb0x, i have a kernel that sets minfrees on boot now. if anyone is interested, ill upload an update to 2.2.0b1 that is directly flashable over it with a few more things tweaked.

let me know guys, happy hacking
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
No need here, but thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
when i get a chance im going to update the op with the new build

things changed:

changed apns-conf.xml in etc to only sprint

added a few lines to build.prop

minfrees stick from kernel now

some other stuff im sure
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 1ceb0x:
you will need it ;). it moves faster with it and the multitasking is a joy! trust me! i'm using my settings in two roms, one is gb and one is ics. the same speed, the same multitasking!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
thank you 1ceb0x, i absolutely agree

also lol im going to have to thank you for that tomorrow, i hit my 8 thanks per day limit

also, is anyone here interested in cm9? i mean, i have a pretty feature complete build right now

things working:

everything that works in eligorom

video playback

stock cm9 goodness

cam does work

minfrees set in kernel

let me know if there is interest. (lol i plan on posting it anyway, just want to get you guys hyped)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
I had been using CM since 6 and had forgotten just how much goodness was in there... so YES I AM HYPED! Thank you!

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

I guess I am a bit confused then... isn't that duplicating what AutoKiller would be doing (just without an app)?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autokiller&hl=en
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey kjjjjshab,

eligorom2.2.0b1-1 negates the need for minfree or autotweaker apps. its already set in kernel to an acceptable level with minimal lag.

minfrees are now set at boot, and dictates how quickly apps get killed once memory is needed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
One thing that's been bugging me is data speeds. It doesn't matter if it is 3g or wifi. They are both just terribly slow. Off my home network, my laptop will speed test at 25ms/14.0Mbps and wifi on my phone is 890-1500ms/1-1.5Mbps. That is pretty much how it feels every day. Wifi data speed never felt like an issue before this rom.

Is anyone else experiencing the same (with this)? Searching xda yields random complaints about wifi/ICS but nothing I can find towards an answer/fix.

(Still love the dang thing though!) :D

Connecting to router at Mode:11g, rate 54Mbps, WPA2 100% signal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey kjjjjshab

i havnt had any problems with wifi, but let me test with my setup and ill get back to you on that

on an unrelated note, like the non-thinking person i am, i accidentally flashed this right over my cm7 that i had working great. amazingly, there are no problems directly flashing over. shocked me quite a bit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
Alright, so for now I'm back to whatever version of your port was android 4.0.3. It actually stays stable and I don't get massive amounts of ANR's as soon as I boot into it. Not really sure what happened between then and now, but as always I'm still ready and willing to do any testing you need done, just not any connectivity related stuff as I am now wifi only.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
thank you shakes

if you need another copy of the 4.0.3 rom, i have it backed up to my mediafire account still. might try eligorom 2.2.0b1-1 though, its 4.0.4 but it runs (for me, hopefully for you too, not like cm9 lol) pretty good

not sure why cm9 is throwing all those anrs and fc's at you, are you s-off? whats your radio version? for the heck of it, whats your hboot version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
I have a copy of it, that's what I'm running right now actually. I did try 2.2.0b1-1, ran about the same as you CM9 rom. I don't really understand why, wasn't the first rom you posted 4.0.4?

I am s-on, haven't been able to find an s-off method that works for me. Radio is 2.42.02.10.29, and my hboot is 1.47.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
Which gapps are you using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
unrevoked worked fine for me with hboot 1.47 and 2.42.01.04.27 for S-OFF.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

I realized the other night I wasn't on the -1 version, so I wiped cache and dalvik cache, and flashed over, but was getting random reboots and in particular would get GPS reboots.

So anyway, I went back to a GB CM7.2RC and found that my wifi speeds tested the same as evervolv... but I still connect to things much faster. With this rom it can take a minute or longer for an app to start to download from market, but on CM it will start immediately. So perhaps it is an issue with authentication somewhere along the line?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
I've tried both the gapps from this thread and the official ics gapps.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

2.42.02.10.29 doesn't work with unrevoked actually...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kjjjjshab:
Sorry about that - I forgot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
No worries, I don't absolutely need it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
hey guys

my hboot is 1.47.0000, radio is 2.42.02.10.29, and im s-off. actually both my tester hero and my daily driver hero are, could be the reason why some of the problems present themselves for others that are not on the same setup.

remember, radios can be very easily downgraded for unrevoked and then updated back to the newest. if any of the radios are needed (i have stock sprint radio, verizon radio for downgrade to stock, and newest) i can upload upon request.

oh hey shakes, the mixup from 4.0.4 to 4.0.3 back to 4.0.4 was that 4.0.3 had more going for it until mongoose over at the eris forums released the new eligo rom which fixed even more stuff. 4.0.3 is pretty much a dead end at this point, so im going to stick with 4.0.4 and higher.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
I would recommend that you download the 2.1 software update(the bottom one) from the htc website(http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-hero-sprint/software-updates) and ruu back to stock. Sign in and update to most current release, then go here to get regawMOD rooter: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909258

Do this and it will automatically make you s-off and rooted. Then you can flash the recovery you want and go from there. Also, what recovery are you using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shakes27:
That was what I had to do a couple months ago, however I don't have access to a windows computer so I can't use the regawMOD rooter, which was what I had planned on using. I'm using some v5 build of clockworkmod, not sure the exact build #.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
Bump!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
im still here guys just been busy with stuff lately

the current affairs of ics on our old heroc is as follows:

we have almost hit a brick wall, as until hardware acceleration is implemented we cant go much further. as much as i hate to say it, gb might be the final frontier for our phones.

im watching linaro and their ics builds, they claim to have 100% speed increases on supported phones, so i wonder if some of their patches could be ported back to our heroes.

as always, if mongoosehelix and evervolv releases an update for the eris, i will jump all over porting it to our phones. i wont give up as long as there is something to port from.

thank you to all of the people who make the wheels turn as efficiently as they do, that includes the devs, and all the testers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
i realize its been a while since my flagship rom port has been updated, and i apologize for that. between getting heroc paranoidandroid, miui 4.0.4, and aokp (all from wildfire s) and getting my evo 4g flashed and ics-ified i havnt had alot of time

im working on the update right now, here is the list of things changed:

added apex and nova, so now you can choose between 3 launchers (i myself personally like apex on this rom, makes it run quite nice)

added the youtube libs in

changed default wallpaper to stock ics one, as the evervolv wallpaper was off center

and some other things are changed too, such as i went through and slimmed down every apk i could in this rom to make it lighter. right now zip size is about 74.3mb and unpacked its 130mb (installed)

expect an update really soon, hopefully tonight :) long live the heroc!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
so here it goes guys. im out of the game for now. expect no new updates on the ics roms i have ported before. jb is the future, and shelnutt is the guy to get us into the future. ics roms never quite ran great anyway, so no big loss. i may pop back up in the future and throw down on some jb paranoidandroid, aokp, miui, or anything of the such, but i cannot guaruntee a thing. its been nice, but support for these roms stops here. (unless of course, anyone else would like to take these over for me, or i can get the guys from gsm hero using my allinone installer full time, then heroc will have everything they get)

if anyone would like to take over, please message me. ill be more than willing to send everything your way, since im way too busy with life in general right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
eligo jb p1 is released. bump bumpity bump to the top
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
been running this rom for a day now i believe i have to say great job to everyone involve. i have a few issues since running this rom

1. randomly when im typing it goes crazy the buttons i push creates some other function or it selects another letter or symbol i didnt choose i have to restart or do a battery pull to fix it then it happens (dont know if its my phone just getting old but i have recently experience this since flashing this rom)

2. the phone randomly reboots on its own

3. i don't know if its the network because been having crappy service especially of lately but i have been missing calls and im right by my phone and it doesn't even ring

im going to keep testing for a day or so... camera works still no cam recording and i receive texts i haven't tried mms as yet. if you have the time and can look into those issues that would be awesome...still this rom rocks im still impressed by it good job again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
Can you get log cats for me? And did you wipe twice with calkulins or lights format all before installing? I'm not having keyboard issues with mine, data might be just libs, and I haven't experienced random reboots. Looking forward to your reply.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jamega2f:
i had to flash another rom, the keyboard kept messing up had to change to get some things done, but i would gladly flash again no problem. i don't exactly know if its the keyboard or just haptic feedback in general but definitely when i try to type issue is apparent on occasion .i didn't use calkulins or lights format before installing, you think that's what caused the issues? MMS still doesn't work the random reboots were minimal probably 3 or 4 times in 2 days. another thing i forgot to mention is that apps and widgets cross over the line where the dock is i tried to take a screenshot of it but screen isn't working either. and still no recording when i try, i think you mentioned it didnt work to begin with
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
Is anybody else having issues with dropped calls after about a minute of connecting? I'm just wondering because it's really the only issue I ran into when running this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] memphian:
I'm curious about trying some i9100 roms from hellraising. Before i do it though i would like to know some things first. I know the procedure from the thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577015), but there are some things i'm not sure of after searching. For instance, from the package that needs to be zipped i know the zimage is a kernal, and the one in that post is Suck kernal. Can this kernal be replaced or can one be flashed afterwards such as newest entropy or siyah? I imagine they have to have mic swap such for siyah? not sure about entropy's.

Is there anything else that i should know that i will notice a difference from i897 roms?

P.S. Sorry if this should be posted in the hellraise thread but I feel like that should be for bugs and developement discussion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] howtomen:
I897? Sir thats a captivate. And yes u can place entropys latest kernel or siyah with micswap. Other thinfs u should know:

Fm radio doesnt work i would remove apk.

If u dont know how to do that i wouldn't try to release with out proper experience to mantain the port as it could lead to bricks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] memphian:
Oops. I meant i777. And thank you for your reply.

I wouldn't release anything as it's not my work though. Just want to try some out. Thanks again.
