Been using 2.2.2 so far today and am sad to report that sound is reliably not working for notifications, I have no reception and have been unable to test my ringtone.

If I reboot my phone I will get a notification from the activesync client on the first message, all subsequent messages do not play a sound.

I get no notification sound from google talk or the gmail client at all even though they will play from the settings screen when selecting them.

I LOVE the speed of this version and I'm really hoping that this can be easily nailed down!

If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. if anyone else is not having this issue please compare notes with me!

***update***

I disabled the "locale" service (location based settings tool) and sounds seem to be working reliably. other than changing the volume and other settings I'm not sure what locale's service is doing to the system to make it freak out. Sound has been working great since my last post.

I have noticed that sound works until the locale service detects my location and applies the default settings of high volume. which is long enough for the exchange client to sync and play it's initial notification.

I tried enabling locale just now after the phone was on for a few minutes and 3 tests have resulted in successful sound playback without issue. Perhaps locale is launching too soon and causing an issue somehow?

I will test to see if locale kills sound again throughout the day and post back any findings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I think this is a locale bug rather than a ROM bug. Try uninstalling and installing locale...

I just tried reproducing this error, and I couldn't. I am using SetCPU 1.3.0r3.

v 2.2.2 subjective test using the 'Now Playing' application shows that relatively smooth scrolling through the movie lists has been restored. On 2.2.1 it was dog slow and laggy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpaceBoy2000:
Nope, I've been having that all the time. I've decided to report everything to hotweiss through Twitter. Not that there's much to say, other than, "OMG, THIS IS AWESOME."
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _j0nas_:
Just for the record, this is a lovely ROM.

But i wonder if and when we will see it whit the 1.6 "Donut" release?

And if this question is already awserd just tell me what to search 1.6 is not a valid search :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
My next big update will probably be around the Sense UI update that is supposedly coming to Rogers. The HoFo ROM will coincide with official Rogers releases.

Is it possible for you to add adhoc connectivity to your next build? Thanks. Appreciate your hard work. Or if someone has the edited files that they can upload and I can push to the phone. Thanks again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
I've noticed this for quite some time, but finally though that I should bring this up.

I have an Apple Time Capsule at home as my router. For some strange reason, when using a Google/ION based ROM, the WiFi icon in the notification bar correctly displays signal strength. However, when using an HTC ROM, when I connect to the same network the icon will show no signal strength even though the connection still works. Even stranger, when connecting to a different type of router the signal strength will display correctly.

It seems that the HTC ROM dislikes the Time Capsule.

Anyone else experience this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
also happens with my wrt54gl running tomato. i don't find it to be a big deal though. it does display the correct signal level at the place where you can pick which ssid to connect to.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The signal meter is difficult to understand. It wasn't working with my Linksys router, but it's working with my Telus Siemens router.

PS-How are you finding the battery life to be with 2.2.4?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
I've been on 2.2.4 since about 2:30 this afternoon, was on 2.2.3 before that since the initial charge this morning. the battery life still seems great. I got home around 5pm and used the phone for email throughout the day, still had 56% battery remaining when I walked in the door! normally i'm down around the 20 mark.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
I was looking into this recently as well, it seems to be related to the encryption type used with WPA2, have you had a chance to test WPA2-tkip vs WPA2-aes vs WPA?

I tried looking for a tkip vs aes option in the airport utility and came up dry.

someone with a non-apple router will need to test tkip vs aes for wpa and wpa2 to see if the signal strength shows for any combo.

either way you go the signal shows on the settings screen, just not in the status bar..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChillyEli:
Do you think you are going to upgrade to the 1.6 base now that it's been released or are you going to hold back and keep 1.5 going for the next little bit?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
I believe it will be updated to 1.6 once Rogers issues an official 1.6 update
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] technician-2s:
cant use CIME... only English IME available even though i flashed with the CIME version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
Re: Battery Life

I unplugged my phone from the charger at 7:10 this morning. In 55 minuted of uptime, the phone still shows a 100% charge. I've used it for some light browsing of XDA, emails, and maps. All in all, seems to be holding up quite well. Usually, I would have it dip around 90-95% by this point.

Re: 2.2.4

It seems that the issue I reported back here has creeped up again with this version.

This wasn't happening with 2.2.2.

Also, I've noticed that it takes quite some time for the phone to connect to the cell network after a reboot; longer than it did under 2.2.2. Not sure if this is related to the SLAB change. However, at the same time the keyboard seems to lag less. I'm sticking with 2.2.4 for now since after the initial boot, the phone does seem to run quite well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
Not that is really a major issue - a minor annoyance is all - but since the ION based ROMs seem to identify the signal correctly, is there any opportunity to rip the code out of the ION ROM and plug it into the HTC ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Do a long press on one of the text input boxes and select CIME. You might also have to change your locale in Settings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
That's the thing, this ROM is using the Donut ION wlan driver.

PS-I'll look into the contact list issue again...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bademasta:
do i have any chance of getting your new version of the rom with unoptimized png's again? Or is the new version working anyway? I don't really want to try as the version you provided me with simply works :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Sure I'll try to make one tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey, hotweiss is it me or even the lowest brightness setting is too bright ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Having mobile network problems with 2.2.4, I keep losing the connection and have to go to settings to register on the network again.

Didn't have this with 2.2.2.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Em ne idea why i cant modify the framework-res.apk on this build ? all the other apk's i can edit fine...

Nvm...fixed it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
UPDATE RE: Battery Life

After about 16 and a half hours, I have 40% charge remaining. Usually I'd be at 10% by now. So there is definitely improvement.

Great job!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No, it's not you. I use cyanogen's kernel source, and it build's like that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
It's most likely your network, as I have done nothing to the network framework since version 2.2.2. Anyone else have this issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Ah k, yea i found with hero roms batt life was better, im guessin cuz the brightness meter actually allowed me to lower it to the point where the screen turned almost black which was awesome. Hmm so no fix for that ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Incase u missed it cuz the page changed :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yo Paul, wht do u think about replacing the roms bootscreen with this ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Will try to...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Here's the unoptimzed version of 2.2.4:

http://hotweiss.lifeflayer.com/roms/hofo224uo.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bademasta:
thanks man! i'm already downloading ...

EDIT: it seems to work! thanks again.

btw. the darker screen backlight option would be awesome. I think with the originial Firmware i was able to turn the screen almost-black too. For night-liking people like me that's enough most of the time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kccsk:
since the new builds are based on cyanogen's kernel, does that mean it also has support for flac? do I need to do anything special to get my phone to play flac files? thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I turned off BFS, as it is still in its' experimental stage.

Flac should work, as it is based on cyanogen's kernel source. Give it a try and let me know. As far as I know, flac support is simply a kernel add-on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yo, paul, in response to ur question regarding u asking for tht boot gif in a different format..why ? i just save this image as boot.gif in /system/media/ and it works fine. Also wht r ur plans for this rom ? are u going to leave it as is till future ota update from rogers ? or are u gonna implement new features as cyanogen reveals them ?

THanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kccsk:
just tried flac on both 2.2.0cime, 2.2.4 and 2.2.4cime, the file is not showing up in the default music app... the flac is 16bit which I believe is what cyanogen's kernel support. what else can I try?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
It seems that you also need a library for FLAC support. I will try to build it now, if it goes through without any hitches - I'll add it to 2.2.5. If I have any trouble building it, I'll try to add it when I have some time.

PS-I just listened to my first FLAC file, I'm impressed

Edit: I am having trouble compiling it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 2.2.5

- new boot animation, as requested by Daneshm90

- updated to the latest cyanogen kernel source (a WLAN bug was fixed)

- updated Loccy's Better Browser to version 1.5

I am trying it right now and all I can say is that it's very responsive so far, doesnt not seem to have bugs.

I am disappointed that there is no donut in it yet though :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
As soon as HTC releases a donut version of their ROM, I'll update this ROM. HTC ROM's have the huge advantage of turning off always-on mobile (data), giving you a huge battery life boost.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
Great ROM, Hotweiss! I appreciate your emphasis on stability and battery life, elements which seem to be overlooked by many other releases. Thanks for all your hard work - keep it up!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wrxphantom:
anyone have any pics of how this rom looks.. just curious
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Theme wise, there are no changes. That is why there are no screenshots.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The reason why I don't use Advanced Launcher is because it doesn't work as a replacement launcher by itself (HTC Framework). You still have the option to download it and use it as a seperate app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I tried porting the camera, but it seems that you also need the Donut framework to use it.

Let's hope HTC releases an update real soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankinmerth:
A few issues I'm seeing with 2.2.4

- if I hit 'dial' and it brings up the keyboard, sometimes the 'contact list' is blank. Sometimes it shows up, but if I minimize the dialer the portion that was covered by the dialer still remains blank. If I finger scroll the contact list it stays blank where the dialer was, but if I jiggle the dialer pane, it begins painting the contact list full screen.

- I've had the screen go dark (as in the, go to sleep, not in use timeout) while text-messaging actively. Specifically I've had this happen with chomp-sms, but it may be a larger issue.

I'll try 2.2.6 with the new scheduler and see if these things resolve
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I installed 2.2.6 today. Got a bit of an issue.

I try to start Wi-Fi and it says 'Unable to stat Wi-Fi'.

When I try to run 'adb logcat', I get:

Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory

Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The contact list issue seems to be a HTC bug, as I loaded a vanilla HTC ROM and experienced the same thing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Indeed it's not working. Will upload fix now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Woohoo, I found a bug!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 2.2.6 is now fixed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Thanks Paul. Hey, do you use Google Voice or have Gmail auto-sync turned on? I know you like disabling "Always-on Mobile" but doesn't that affect the ability to auto-sync these programs, forcing you to manually open and refresh them?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No Google Voice in Canada sadly...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
OK, thanks anyway. At least, you can now use Street View in maps ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey paul, i have a theme running on 2.2.5...i dont want to flash 2.2.6 cuz ill loose it. If its changes in the kernel which i think they are, cud u just upload the boot.img instead of the whole rom ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankinmerth:
and its darn cool too
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
and i just checked to see my house isn't on it :( although garmin just updated my area in the 2009 map pack, so maybe google'll have it by next year.

edit for on topic: just downloaded the .6 and will try to flash it in a bit. i found the stand by battery life of the phone is now fairly decent with the .5 update. it used to suck up a large portion of the battery if i leave it unplugged overnight now it losses about 5% over a period of 10 hours while still receiving my emails and finding updates for the applications (native gmail and market).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
It seems no Chinese keyboard support.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
In 2.2.6? Did 2.2.5 work correctly? I only changed the scheduler, try to reselect in the menu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Hmmm, you probably also need the wlan driver to match. I'll make one for you tonight or tomorrow morning.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
chinese keyboard worked in 2.2.5 for me, but i downloaded the non-chinese one for 2.2.6.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
HTC CIME is working fine for me in 2.2.6.

You might want to check the settings as it was defaulting to handwriting input in my phone. I changed it to pinyin and it worked fine after that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
It worked well in 2.25, not works in 2.26. I changed to Pinyin in settings, still not working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Which application are you trying it out on? In the native Messaging application, it works instantly after selecing Touch Input Chinese. In 3rd party apps like Handcent SMS and Twidroid Pro, I have to close off the input window and re open the input window again.

just flash your 2.2.5 for two days and 2.2.6 come out

I did my nandroid backup, and put the hofo226.zip (renamed to update.zip) onto the phone, rebooted into recovery, and applied the update.

Now my question is, what is the hofo kernel (currently V7 listed), and how do I install that.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Nope, I didn't change the locale.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
i had this issue as well. I had to type it in a different field and copy/paste it :)

EDIT: saw this answered on the next thread page after I replied..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
the standalone kernel updates are for developers only who need extra kernel level logging features. unless you want that stuff, the rom itself contains the latest kernel without those features.
