[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ravimanthena:
Hello all,

apologies if this has been covered previously, i couldn't find any steps that would guide me to update my HTC Hero to ICS (4.0.3). Please could anyone reply with the steps to upgrade or the link to the page where it has been covered.

Thorough search of the site didn't give me any helpfull results, so thought i would check with you all.

Thanks in advance.

I am having probe with my FTP been trying to fix it, will a couple of links to dev host do I can have em ready in 10 mins, I knows it not ideal but takes strain off the main server upload speed around 2200kb/s
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MoiZie:
"In before ‘but I don’t have a MicroSD laying around!’: get one. A 2GB card is just 5 bucks, I don’t think that’s worth the hassle to fix this in the ROM to switch mountpoints again."

Too bad, 21 GB is enough for me. I'll wait until some dev creates a rom that doesn't need this then.

Nice work though.

Edit; besides; you can show me a 32 GB (else it's just pointless) class 10 micro SD card for 5 euro's ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
We'll upload them to Dev-Host ourselves, thanks ;)

Quick question re: install. If I got to S-Off via Revolutionary, do I still need to do the adb reboot booloader etc steps, or can I install simply by wiping data and dalvik cache, then flashing the ROM (then the wifi patch)?

From reading your instructions above, it was not 100% clear to me whether the adb command lines were necessary for all installs, or if it was necessary only for installs where the device was unlocked via HTCDev.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
Just a pointer, APEX Launcher is requiring an update as soon as it loads

ALSO 3G Data does work :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Last line ;) If you used Revolutionary, just flash the ROM like any other ROM :) No ADB or anything necessary, just wipe and flash the ZIP.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
I know, as the build uses an older version of APEX. I might update that later in the ZIP, but for now you can update it manually.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] username235:
You guys have revived my flyer. I remember the change from 3.2.1 to 4.0.3 on my old transformer was completely smoother, and quicker, and ive been excited for it to finally come to the flyer. Ics on any device is honestly much smoother and nicer to use than any other previous os. Thanks for all your time working on this stubborn tablet...especially getting aokp up and running right away

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
Yes it does :) I can confirm
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
You can't fix it by a simple new bootanimation.zip. Apparently, the old orientation is used for the animation for some reason. We removed the bootanimation.zip as well, to get the regular ANDROID logo, but that was glitched as well ;)it is something we have to fix through the code or kernel.

Btw, I had an old version of TB and I tried to freeze dsp manager and music fx but they tb couldn't freeze them.

I wanted to use equalizer only from market.

There is a file called libcyonegendsp.so under system/libs/soundfx which sometimes plays the spoilsport .

On my some earlier android devices, I just renamed the above mentioned libcyonegendsp.so to libcyonegendsp.so.back and froze the dsp manager.

libbundlewrapper.so, which is already there, used to work perfectly with equalizer app from market after following all this.

But, I am not able to neither freeze via tb nor disable the dsp manager from system settings > apps.

Will look for another version of tb and report back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
For the people that reported a crackly sound: reboot your device, 'adb logcat > cracklysound.txt' on your PC, directly load up a music player, disable any EQ it's got, play a track, and when the track is finished, Ctrl-C on your PC. Then, send cracklysound.txt to me through PM.

What scrolling issue I don't get any?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pfeffernuss:
Open a large website or go to a directory containing a lot of files/folders using a file manager.

Try to scroll down using a sweep-motion. See it bounce back, and back, and back?

You can't scroll down fast. You have to do it bit by bit by bit by bit. Which is extremely cumbersome on large sites/with large lists.

Tested the GPS with CoPilot Live yesterday in a friends car for about 20 minutes in central London.

I didn't experiance any of the issues i had before with over roms where i would loose signal for several minutes and has made initial testing the Satnav useable again. CoPilot does lock onto 11 satallities but keeps flipping between gps lock acquiried and determining current position but seems to work fine so not too important. Google maps locked on quickly and GPS test locks on and stays locked.

I have uploaded a log in the same location to the whitescreen log i PM'd you for just incase it helps with other apps.

Once again, can't believe how quick the web broswer works, both chrome and the default.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
I think I know the fix for the white screens, it's something kernel related, will try to compile a kernel today with the fix implemented (and then hope it works). As for now, I'm working on the touch input devices.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Good news:

Opera mini and Opera mobile are working without any scroll issue.

Firefox is working without scroll issues as well.

Bad news:

I want to switch to chrome:D

I have a feeling both opera and Firefox along with chrome will be unbeatable once the scroll issue is resolved.

Its amazing that dispute the scroll issues how well opera mobile and Firefox are running. Hence they are bound to run amazingly better after the full resolution.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crazy cat:
Nice work!

The ROM is nice. But some bugs should be fixed:

- on/off swich in settings are not shown correctly (wifi, bluetooth)

- Bounce in Scrolling

- Toggles overlaps sometimes the time

- "BlueTooth" label in ROM Settings should be "Bluetooth"

- Clock position "center" don´t work

- Setting up clock color don´t work

- Some minor craches and fc´s

- Boot animation looks "broken"

Requests

+ Please add the default launcher

+ Dump Pen-Support from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1642111)

+ Add G+ as pre-installed app

And thank you so much for your work!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Switches in settings: go to Display and enable Dual Pane View. BlueTooth/Bluetooth in ROM Control: really? This is an issue? Besides, changing it would cause the repo not to be upstream anymore, so I'm keeping it like this.

Clock position center: D'oh, phone only. Clock color: works fine here. Pen support, guys. for the last time: DG's ZIP is exactly the same as my earlier ZIP, as he KANGed it, and I know what is working and what is not in that ROM, and pen wasn't.

Default launcher: get an APK of it and install it manually, as Apex beats default in every way imo.

G+: install through the Play Store? Else I would pre-install my 50 most used apps as well..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Persons having reboot issues, go to settings then apps then select all and select phone.apk. force stop it and clear data also.

Or try to freeze via tb until full phone functionality is reported by someone.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Well this is funny.

The touchscreen issue, is gesture-related. If you want to know what I mean: go to Settings > Developer Options > Pointer location.

Then go back to wherever you want to, and drag your finger over the screen really gently. If it doesn't skip back, you'll just see a blue line. Then, fling really fast, making it jump back. Notice the purple line going in the opposite direction of where you flinged to? That's the Gesture Prediction Engine. The device thinks it knows what your next move will be, and takes your hand off the work by completing the gesture for you. However, that gesture is not the right one as it does the opposite of what it should do.

Checking the possibilities now to disable these gestures, think that should do it.

(Source for this knowledge for the interested people): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ion-in-developer-options-in-ice-cream-sandwic

Edit: a bit tweaked, the jumping back issue seems resolved. However, you can't fling really fast through a website anymore (that means: it works a bit better). Shouldn't jump back anymore, but because we disabled fling the 'afterscroll' isn't enabled anymore. In other words: remember how you start the scrolling rapidly, then let go of your finger to make it continue scrolling automatically? That isn't there anymore. Will upload a build.prop within 15 minutes for those who wnat to test it this way, if most of the people prefer this method, it will be implemented in 1.3 (hopefully to be called Codename Blue Ocean) (smooth, and with bluetooth)

Oh, for those of you wondering where Lisbon comes from: we thought about what we want to achieve with this ROM. Answer: ICS Like It Should Be. Like It Should Be = LISB = Lisbon :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
For those who want to test the new gesture patch:

http://recluster.net/icslisbon/misc/build.prop

Download this file, save it in a folder along with ADB. Then do:

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/build.prop

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

adb reboot

And it should not jump back anymore. Please post your results :)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pfeffernuss:
Much, much better...

Of course still not the way it's "supposed to be" but the extremely annoying bounce-back is gone. Plus Opera still behaves as before, was worried that the big-sweep-scroll would be gone after copying the new build.prop :cowboy:

Bit by bit it's turning into a great daily driver. Do have some problems with games though, some just plainly don't work (at least here) (for example Where's my Water aborts) and some others don't have any sound (like Road Trip). These for now are minor niggles, scrolling is issue 1a (for me) :angel:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
About games not working: logcat it, and PM it to me ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thewadegeek:
Is the patch to make the ROM WiFi only supposed to remove the signal bars as well? Cause it doesn't if it is! :P Overall pretty slick Chaos-Z I like! :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Would increasing the maxflingervelocity in the build prop improve the scrolling? Read somewhere else that it helped.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pfeffernuss:
Tried that already. Without success :p
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Velocity was at a high rate in the old ROMs, but the fling it causes works in the opposite direction, which is what the problem is about ;) So we disabled that velocity to temporarily have no fling (or 'afterscroll' at all). Scrolling works fine, but giving 1 quick gesture on the screen and expecting it to continue scrolling for 3 seconds is not enabled this way ;) ATM, it seems like we have to fix this in the source code of the ROM itself, doing some investigations on it (though I think the way it works is fine for now, so bluetooth has a higher priority now).

And about cell phone signal bars: no, the patch doesn't remove the bars, but ROM Control has an option somewhere to hide them ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I tried it prior to the bounce back fix and I am not running this ATM so i was wondering if the combination worked better
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Did it with root explorer and changed permissions.

The bounce back is gone but as said in earlier post it still isn't the way its supposed to be.

Can one thing be done?

Can we increase the distance the page scrolls by single swype. I mean at least tripling the value of this distance or may be more.

If this can be implemented, even a bounce back will not will be a problem, that will only be natural.

I mean to say scrolling 1-2 inches and bouncing back 1 inch is an issue but scrolling about 5-10 inches and bouncing back 1-2 inches is not an issue. Infact its the natural, I think, for ics. I have windows 7.5 mobiles as well and blackberry Playbook too. And Google has taken it from windows 7.

Can we increase this scrolling distance value somewhere?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
ro.maxflingvelocity or something in the build.prop, it's under a block called TWEAKS FOR FLYER.

Test various values, and report what works best for you, and I'll see which value will become the default one ;)

Edit: reminds me, try to keep min at 0, and play with max only. Perhaps that is the issue!

It's not a democracy here but if it were, I'd vote to fix the touchscreen. It is how we interact with the tablet and is thus very important to the feel of the device.

ro.max.fling_velocity=10000

persist.sys.scrollingcache=3

Seems to work quite decent. What do you guys think?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Do we have a persist line in build.prop?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Added it myself ;)

Guys, for now, fling will be disabled my limiting both values to 0. At least this doesn't glitch. We will look in the source code of Android ASAP to fix the mathematical issue which causes this. There is a formula in one of the files for velocity control, and that formula has to be tested for why it is going in the opposite direction (probably a negative value somewhere because of screen rotation?), and then modifying it to behave correctly. If you really want a fling, you can download Build.prop editor from the Play Store and edit it manually.

And now, I'm continuing on bluetooth ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Chaos,

What is that another line

# ro.max.fling velocity=7000

No more USB connection

First of all, thank you very much for this already fantastic rom.

Yesterday I had the 'white screen' problem but this morning, everything was fine again without doing anything. Very strange.

But I have a new problem: USB connection to my pc isn't working anymore. When I press 'USB connection', All I see is the waiting circle, but nothing happens and I can't access the tablet from the PC.

Any idea?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Doing some investigations on it. I think I know what's wrong, trying to figure it out.

Edit: and I was right, it's the manual mount of internal storage on the external SD. That causes an issue during mounting USB, as it has to unmount the internal storage first, but it fails to do so.

Trying to figure out why internal storage can't be mounted the correct way atm.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
Chaos,

In your build.prop, under HTC flyer modifications, you have given spaces in commands before and after "="

Is this normal.

One of these is related to mounts.

One of these is related to rotation also and when I changed rotation to 180 and leaving no space before and after = , I rebooted the device and say boot animation was not screwed. But after reaching the apex screen it was difficult to unlock it. Touch was all screwed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Bootanimation glitch can happen in any rotation, changing the rotation doesn't fix it. About the touch: the screen is placed rotated in the device, hence we need 270 degree rendering rotation to make sure the touchscreen matches the display with pointers ;) And spaces in the build.prop don't matter.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] teorouge:
About sd mount: aroma file manager mounts everything correctly, internal memory becomes emmc and sd card is sdcard. Just an fyi if you never got to try that on Flyer.

After applying the scrolling patch I have to say, not having fling is minor at best. It would be a bigger deal on a phone, but on a tablet its not as big of a deal, overall scrolling is a ton better.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadohh:
First I want to thank Chaos for his hard work.

Second I want to express my thoughts.

The new build.prop you offered to fix scrolling is a very good fix.

ICS in software rendering runs better then HC from HTC. I cannot wait for Chaos to get GPU rendering working. This little tablet has a lot of life left.

I really hope you can take a crack at pen support. At least for me it is the reason I paid retail on release day. I can load up SBMX and use the pen the main problem is proximity. The pen is detected several inches above the screen. If that tiny bit could be tweak we would have some decent pen support till you had time to really dig into it.

General question? I have the apk of the notes app from the HC build but it wont install. Could this be fixed in build.prop or is this a licensing issue at this point and no one will touch it?

Thanks all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
You mean its not Gpu rendering?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
It is, this ROM has working GPU rendering with the latest drivers for both 2D and 3D, and the UI is GPU rendered as well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I figured So. No way the ui could be that smooth in software rendering
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shadohh:
GPU rendering is working? Sorry to spread wrong info. I understand that this rom was pure software. Ah well, I suppose it runs okay for GPU rendering. Still better then honeycomb.

I do look forward to pen support when you have time to monkey with it.

Thanks again Chaos.

Procedure from GB S-OFF to install this?

:confused:

I've got a rooted-by-Revolutionary WiFi Flyer 16GB that is bone-stock GB (up to the last non-HC OTA update). The last time I tried to get to HC on this thing, something REALLY went wrong.

I want to try this ICS version, any recommendations for best procedure to not bork things up this time?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] EpiphanyNL:
Could you describe what went wrong?

Best thing you can do is make a nandroid backup from your current ROM(backup from within recovery) and afterwards flash the zip for this ROM and the wifi patch(to remove 3g stuff). You should be fine afterwards.

If not the just restore from backup and you will be back to where you started.
