HOw do I get the original launcher screen back?

I went into fast boot and did the following....

adb push Launcher.apk /data/apps_s/Launcher.apk

adb push Launcher.odex /data/apps_s/Launcher.odex

adb shell reboot

Then went into settings --> manage apps --> TouchFLO -->clear defaults and cache.

Then pressed home and just got the Hero home screen.

There is no Laucher app in my list of installed apps though.

Have I missed a step?

ALSO, contacts have downloaded but not calendars?

Any ideas.?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aratheba:
Maybe I forgot to mention it, but DID perform such steps while in recovery.

Then, there must be' something else missing!

Any other idea?!?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
hi guys can anyone point me to a step by step guide to root my device as i really wanna try this rom. i looked at the wiki but the instructions on there are not simple enough. i paid in excess of 250 quid for this phone so don't wanna brick it. any help would be greatly appreciated :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
this eror is normal

for market fix just read 1 page back
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
1.look one page back

3.1.wait 5-10 seconds

3.2.mount willl give errors but is normal
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Installed Rom 03 but I can't use GMail or Hotmail as a network is not found, very odd. Didn't have a problem with previous (Fatality) versions, although when using version 1.4 of that Rom the same error occurs.

The error is:

"This application requires network access. Enable mobile network or Wi-Fi to download data"

Suffice to say that network IS enabled in settings. Maybe a service is missing which was installed by default on the previous versions? :confused:

Am pushing back some things which might be the answer but still no luck :(

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
for me is working nice

no connection problems

check for apn settings and backgroud data (enabled)

you are asked for this during initial setup

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aratheba:
Not luck with the locales yet!

As I wrote, I tried an adb put while in recovery. The file is in /system/etc but still cannot choose any locale (the locale setting pane is empty!).

Did anyone managed to get locale back into this ROM?

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Wow this is a great ROM, almost exactly what i want :)

Have removed Rosie entirely, using older launcher.

My question is, running free still only shows a mb or 2 free after boot, whats taking up so much ram?

If I use taskiller to get rid of touchinput and htcsocialnetworkprovider I can get 15mb free and it flies along, and multitouch still works.

UPDATE

Reflashed, started over, removed rosie, astro, teminal, skype, meebo, htclockscreen (oops, anyone have the normal google one!) and all htc widgets, using normal launcher, setcpu (is this already done?) move cache to sd for browser & maps (newest off market) readded the market fix, pdf viewer, All working great and very fast:)

Have installed swapper from market - doesn't work - creates file but never activates it? so i have activated swap manually for a little more smoothness, although to be honest I'm not sure its needed.

Very happy here, everything seems to be working, and i have the nice hero browser and people apps :)

One thought - does this use already the ION dalvik machine as I've always found this to be the fastest.

Ram usuage still seems high considering whats removed - any further tips?

REQUEST - Camera and lockscreen APK from a ION rom please - last 2 bugs :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
stupid question but where do i see what ram i have left on this device? sorry for asking
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Yes, had to Add a new APN but didn't see that you had to save it by pressing Menu again... Reflashed your Rom now, finally able to evaluate it! Thx! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] willouf:
Good work on Pure Black !

I just like ton know what commands are for :

-installing langages pack (i get the LOCALES .zip)

-Installing the older launcher instead of Rosie
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Swapper didn't work for me until I fixed a missing link (thanks to Zazy for this):

adb shell

then

mount -w -o remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

ln -s /system/xbin/bb/busybox /system/bin/busybox

mount -r -o remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

anidel
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Thanks that worked great for swapper.

I noticed this morning my phone was almost completly locked up - It had been sitting idle since about 9 last night, no emails had been received, or anything. Had to pull the battery and reboot, now all back OK, but somethings not right somewhere...

I'm on v003 at moment as didn't notice 004 was out. doh!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Same issue than willouf, I'd like to install french but I didn't manage to do it, I've tried to push the file in install/etc but it didn't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
This command:

adb shell free

or, for more info,

adb shell cat /proc/meminfo

You can also track a bit your device and see what it is doing with:

adb shell top

(CTRL-C to stop it)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
I suggest for all of you guys (me included) running on the Vodafone phone, to reboot your phone once a day (in the evening or in the morning).

It helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Instead of pulling the battery out, first try connecting the USB to your computer and run

adb shell reboot

If that doesn't work, then pull out the battery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Does anyone knows how to install languages on this rom please ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
Now I have used fatalitys 1.2 1.3 and 1.4 and must say they are extremely good but I crave more speed and responsiveness and so was looking at this rom. Has anyone who has a vodafone magic 32b 192mb board installed both fatalitys and this rom?

How do they compare for speed and reliability. My only issue with the fatality rom is that on mine it would run very slow and become unresponsive at times.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Unfortunately this appears to be an issue with all the Hero ROMs out there.

Enable swap, set a low swappiness and keep your phone off during the night.

:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
What is an ideal low swappiness?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
too add other languaged you also have to copy this files

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4ALK8GL4
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
This morning, as a test, I completely disabled swapping whatsoever. So far, even after opening and closing numerous (big) apps, not a single problem and a bit more responsive than with swap enabled.

Will keep it like this I think, for now. So far all is well ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sr-ha:
hello

i want to flash the Rom tommorow, but can you tell me where i have to push the language files on?

thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
i recomand that you wait

1.5 is on the way

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Hi Jerpelea, you seem to have removed Flash as well from this ROM, haven't you ?

What shoud we copy to re-enable it?

Is there just enough to copy flashplayer.so over? (in /system/lib I suppose)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Also, what will be the differences between 1.4 and 1.5 ?

Is there a chance you could document the exact changes you're doing?

So that we know what's going on, try to help and, most importantly, know if it is worth "updating" or not...

BTW, this ROM is best when used with Launcher instead of TouchFLO.

Flies, and you've got almost everything you need from Hero, we're only missing the HTC Widgets.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
there will be an changelog

but i have started over from scratch

1.kernel - wip

2.dalvikvm - done

3.apk's - done

the phone is fast but there is still some work to do

there will be 2 versions

1 with rosie

1 with standard launcher and some witgets

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Thanks, really appreciated...

I am a developer too, but just with no time at all :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
can't wait. using hero rom 1.4 and it is slowly grinding to a halt. looks fuking awesome but alas don't work so well as a base. tried your rom which also looks great but liked the weather and shortcuts from hero rom. had a lag with yours as well so went for looks as you do! anyway i will no doubt try your new 1.5 as i need something quick, less battery hungry and beautiful on ma phone! cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bpmorris:
Hero is awsome but we need more speed!

Hi!

I have an Australian Vodafone G2 so I am almost certain it is 32B model. I currently have fatalitys 1.4 installed and although I loved the Rosie interface it was way to slow to really be functional and had to revert to the stock home screen to be anywhere near useable. Often I was getting around 60second delays to display the main screen after closing an application. I have actaully just sat down intending on flashing the phone with anything else out there to get more performance but after reading that your about to release 1.5 of your ROM I might hold off. I have already played with the CPU overclocking and swapping without getting it to a point that I am happy.

Just to confirm your ROM should work on a 32B G2?

Can you tell me if it will have ActiveSync for Exchange included?

Does your ROM require a specific\minium SLP verson or is the original one fine?

On a side note best of luck with your new 1.5 release, even if it ends up I cant load it I really hope it ends up benefiting alot of other G2 owners out there!

Cheers

Ben :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
yes will work

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
i agree @ hero v1.4 man. too slow and very un responsive. looks great though. reverted back to ION rom as it works best for now without all the jazzed up looks. reason being it is not a port but a tweaked version of the original. these roms here are ports from htc hero so issues are expected. really excited bout 1.5 as jerp's gone back and built from the ground up. if this lives up to expectation i may actually buy him a beer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sagi73:
It is still a version for 1.5?

I can use it on a vodafone htc magic?

Will present the Italian language?

Thank you

hello
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
yep version 1.5 is currently being tested and yep you can use on vodafone magic. it says it will be multi lingual so should have italian in it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] saquib:
Hi

Some nice free widgets in a similar style to the hero , may be a nice addition to your Rom:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] firecrac:
looking forward for new release...

the latest patch seems very slow after long period of using
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] theGchild:
i'm not using this ROM, but thanks for the quick rundown on how to remove apps. i'm now running original superhero v2 with rosie removed and all htc widgets gone. pretty fast. only slowdown is the browser.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
hy

the 0.05 was a failure

the 0.06 is boooting fine and seems stable

there is still some work but i hope to finish tomorrow

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
I suppose you're putting the Launcher (Home, or whatever it is called) with Hero theme instead of TouchFLO, aren't you?

If you did that (and it's a good idea), were you able to make the HTC widgets appear ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bpmorris:
Exchange\Active Sync

Hi All,

I am still curious if Active Sync will be included in this new release?

Has the issue of missing some sms messages been resolved?

Downloading now.. looking forward to seeing what this baby can do!

Thanks for your hard work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
well 1st impressions

looks good like it did before

no HTC widgets at all but guess can add them later. guessing that what slowed down the prev offerings. will miss the weather and music htc widgets

very quick because it has been skinned bare. apart from clock and few widgets other 4 pages are empty

due to this skinning down the rom is very quick. much like a lite rom should be......... needs overclocking if you need 528 or whatever but it looks good and is quick

edit: set clock to 528 and this is lightning! wow
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Leviathon:
On the download now, thanks - will report any finds.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] flyover1:
its Fast and from what iv been doing on it seems pretty fast 1 thing

Will you make a version for PVT 32 A?

Tks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
well ma compliments to the chef on this very promising piece of work! the future looks bright so i am excited. my tp2 and x1 have all suffered due to this android thing............. still concerned bout signal issue as wen used google rom was not an issue. i know this is a port so issues are bound to be there.

enjoying this very much but too many blank screens that need filling! :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Leviathon:
Great so far, haven't added many extras in yet though - looking forward to the beta. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k0ski:
I like this port but, how to reduce desktops?

I'm sorry if it's a silly question, but i don't know how to do it (or even if it's possible)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bpmorris:
Performance?

Hi Guys,

Anyone like to comment on performance. How does it compare to the Fatality 1.4 or 1.2 ROM, has anyone upgraded from either of these ROM's and seen an improvement in performance? Is there still huge lag in getting back to the main screen after closing applications?

Cheers

Ben:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Yea i also would like to know how this compares to fatalitys version on the 32b board. How smooth does this run? Does it come with all the widgets now or do we have to wait for beta?
[G1 Apps and Games] nexx892:
Ummm testing beta?

It mounts and unmounts your sdcard in recovery.

Have your usb cable conneted.

Coming Soon.

Install jf 1.5 cupcake if bricked...

Better interface...

Works???

Copy /apps to comp and copy back

Please don't noob me out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ofird:
After applying a 6.5 ROM and trying to revert back (with SPB Backup file) to 6.1 the phone went dead

I mean totally black with no lights - nothing, cannot be turned on.

I recharged the battery, tried all sync cables ... but without success

Is it garbage time? :mad: or...can be saved somehow? :eek:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ilMessia:
You can't revert back to wm6.1 using a backup. You need to flash a wm6.1 rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ofird:
I cannot turn the device on, therefore cannot flash it :mad:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ilMessia:
Oh. Maybe there's an emergency mode for your device. Is it an i780? I' ve never heard about u780 so i think you pressed the wrong button.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ofird:
oh...thanks, I edited the title

Emergnecy mode for Hard reset, etc? This is not relevant since no power is even shown on the device

when I press the "power" button the led doesn't light
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ilMessia:
Hardreset-->Turn on the phone keeping pressed green and red button (it should work)

If hardreset doesn't work reflash but instead of normally turning the phone on, turn on the phone keeping pressed enter and fn (black and white) buttons
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dreamtheater39:
sorry m8....i had a similar issue. my i780 went dead...and i had to turn it back to the service center. they told my mother board had fried....and i had to wait a week for a replacement. the support guys wont know you've flashed a new rom...just stay quiet and u'll get another mobo.

what is it that you last did? here are the possible things which triggered this for ME -

1. i'd left my i780 in the sun for 4-5 hrs (in my car dash)...and it was burning hot....so this might have fried something....but it worked fine till that evening before it bricked

2. the same day (after i'd left it in the car)....by evening, i turned my wifi on and left it that way for 4 hrs or so....so over abuse of wifi might have bricked mine?

3. i'd flashed wm6.5, then heroes 6.1 rom.....so was it the flashing around?

4. maybe just samsung has some hw issues with the i780...

bad luck dude!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ofird:
I don;t think the MB fried...I did #3

I just cant believe that it totaly bricked it, I mean I would have assumed that I can evie it from any stage - but this is like I am holdnig a brick and no more

Someone suggested to open up the back cover and clean the battery terminal - will try this as well

Service Center is not an option - I bought it in Thailand
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dreamtheater39:
i took it over to service....at service, the representative opens it up right in front of you and checks if its a minor fixable problem - then and there. So the service rep tried all possible stuff and couldnt manage to get it working. So, eventually they had to send it to higher level service, which took another 4-5 days...and finally they reported a dead mobo which was then replaced under standard warranty.

this sucks dude....i think you're having the same problem with your device that i had. You need to try your luck with service and hope that they give you a free replacement...i think they have worldwide warranty, you could tell them you lost your bill/blah...best bet if you ask me. Or paid service i'm guessing...

sorry m8....this is starting to worry me on the quality of samsung's hw....hmm (never had a single problem like this on any of my htc devices)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dreamtheater39:
double post...
