[Touch CDMA General] SkywalkerPD:
Thanks for your great work on Android for the Kaiser.

Just downloaded the latest Hero build. Removed everything from my storage card. Started the new Hero, it creates the new data store. Boots up, but it can't find my SIM? I keep having a "No Service" error.

With Previous builds I didn't have this error.

Edit: Problem solved, my mistake.

Now I only have problems with:

- Importing my SIM accounts

- The weather clock (don't know how else to name it, flipclock I think) is not displaying the weather

- My location on Google maps is not working. (Can't find my location)
[Touch CDMA General] optimistik:
Wow this new hero build is amazing.

Every time I go into Spare Parts and try to view the battery usage history it force closes on me. Everything else seems good so far.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Look your not the only one that can put up an updated hero. It takes me less than 5 minutes to take a dream Rom and adapt it for vogue. Your the man for getting to it first. But I can still do my own thing. The update comes from the same place. ummm sure ok.
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
meee-owww!
[Touch CDMA General] aross6:
Do I sense some slight animosity in this posting? :rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA General] oxsolid:
outdated hook reference

Rufio! Rufio! Rufio!
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
a little how can you tell. i did mine right after his when i realized it was up in the dream forums. then i got a pm asking why i put it up. Then come in here and read "um so...." refering to one of my posts. It's all good though.
[Touch CDMA General] jaredakelly:
downloading the new hero right now!

quick question, i know this has been covered many times but i can't seem to remember or find it anywhere. how do i add .apk files to android to use as an app?
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
Either use AppInstaller or just put them in /sdcard/AndroidApps and they will be installed at boot
[Touch CDMA General] omgwtfbbqkthxbai:
personally, i am glad zen put his updated hero up as well as you, mssmison. it simply works better for me. yr not the king of build customization/optimization; don't be mean to other devs (even if they are stealing yr precious thunder!)

maybe working on closed-source hero builds isn't the best thing for you: puts you in a bad mood, makes you start thinking all proprietary?

i love your builds, and hope you continue doing them for quite some time. but, i also hope everyone else can have a fair chance, too. it only helps the end user to have options. like in this case, for instance.

best

kel
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
Is all this really necessary?

Preferably, mssmison and zenulator can solve their own issues (or not), like they have done until now without a backing choir.

Personally, I just thank them both for their hard work.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Ok, first off please don't post this kind of junk in my thread. I have no animosity to zen and in fact pm'd him so it was private. Zen does good work. No question in my mind about it the only issue I had was posting in my thread that he released his.

Now this is the last I'd like to see of this kind of crap. Moving on..
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
Exchange?

Overall, fastest build of Hero yet.

But, I thought Exchange was supposed to work on the new Hero build out today. It keeps telling me it can't connect to the server and I know all the info is right. Am I alone in this? Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] crono999:
same here, exchange not connecting, and I know my info is correct. Any fix?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
It should work.. I honestly don't have an exchange account to test with. If there's anyone running an exchange server that can set me up a test account I'll look into it.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Moving on:D
[Touch CDMA General] Septavius:
mssmision, looking at the build.prop of your latest Hero release, it looks like you're having the same problem Zenulator had with his early builds: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4306840&postcount=145

PS: Thanks for all the time you're putting into making great android images.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Good call. Thanks, totally missed the _ .. Will be fixed in the next release
[Touch CDMA General] omgwtfbbqkthxbai:
aye, apologies, friends. my knickers got in a bit of a twist this morning and instead of calling my therapist i took it out on the internet.

best wishes to all.

Anyone else having an issue downloading the new Hero.zip (http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/hero.zip)? I get 2.4MB into the download then it says its completed but when I open it it says "Unexpected end of archive"
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from deving. So if anyone wants to mod any of my builds and repost them please do. Just put them in a new thread and give credit to the original dev.

I'll be uploading another hero build in a few and that'll be it for a bit :)
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
You will be missed.

...and thanks for all the fish. ;)
[Touch CDMA General] soccerman821:
Thanks for all your work. your builds were my favorite, especially the palm pre build which i still keep on my card and run every once in awhile
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
Okay, I installed Roadsync and it connected to my exchange server without a problem. So, it must be a problem in the build. Hope that helps a little. I'm trying to remember if Zen shared what he did to make it work.
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
Okay, the build on the vogue-android site is working for Exchange. Still no weather on the flip clock, but I am more than happy to have Exchange.

Also, Touchflo reloaded when I tried to change the wallpaper. I hate to sound whiny, but I thought that problem was supposed to be solved in the update.

Now back to WinMo land for NFS's latest. Life is good for Vogue owners...very good.
[Touch CDMA General] hexto:
Which one is that? Been trying to download the mmissions's latest Hero but the download keeps failing. Please post the link to the one you downloaded that is working flawlessly if you don't mind. Thank you
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
New Build

.. new build coming... whoops there's an issue I have to fix..
[Touch CDMA General] optimistik:
I'm gonna jizz in my pants :D
[Touch CDMA General] mnherky:
Sweet!!!! Can't wait
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
i knew you couldnt stay away from deving for long,

just kidding man, im excited to use it
[Touch CDMA General] aross6:
For anyone interested, HTC just tweeted that the HTC Magic kernal source has been posted with live changes... just thought I'd share the wealth: http://developer.htc.com/

Also, is the latest Mssmision Hero release still on 320x480 resolution? If so any news when it'll be 320x428?
[Touch CDMA General] omgwtfbbqkthxbai:
320 x 480, and thanks for the link!
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
it's uploading to the google code now. unfortunatly it's not Drizzy's like I'd hoped but it is Casper's Shadow build.

Very fast, full featured, optimized apks.

I'll have the messaging fix done soon, thanks everyone for asking :)
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
as soon as I get paid im sending a beer your way bro, I love your builds. when can we expect a new donut build? im having problems with the touch input sometimes i hit a button and it selects a button across the pad... might it be my touch screen? my sprint vogue got stolen yesterday so ill have my new one tomorrow in the am Ill be testing that then. Please let me know bout your work on donut

Also whats the diff between those two hero roms? I cant optimize hero to run as fast as others claim =[
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
To fix that issue, all you should have to do is go in and recalibrate your touchscreen. Then just test it out, and save the settings. I usually do this real quick everytime I reboot.
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
I do that on every boot and still after about half a day then it begins to act weird, I found rebooting to be the only solution and this is with max app at 3 and I use taskiller to kill all unused apps. Its only an issue on the last build for cupcake with the donut features. The hero builds dont have this issue they just lag since im not sure how to set up swap and compcache im unable to speed them up. I read thru the forum but still im confused since so many people use so many diff files I just want a list of files that someone is using and that they have a fast hero build... I wish I knew what everyone who says hero is "fast" for them was using that im not
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
The old hero lite I have to remove it's based on old files.. As for donut, with some of the changes that they've implimented recently it's really slowed down donut.. So I'm waiting for an updated code drop before I look at it again..

*small update uploading to google code now to fix rotational issue's with mms.apk. Should fix any/all missed txt's on hero builds..

*small update to rogers build uploading, includes java from the new hero builds.
[Touch CDMA General] plemen:
Great to see you still doing new builds!
[Touch CDMA General] tallnerd1985:
Hey Mssmison,

Quick question for you and others on this board. Is it me or does it seem like the new build of Hero by either you or Zensulator are not as fast as the last version? I am experiencing really terrible slowdowns but when I ran Superhero, I had no problems besides the refresh of touchflo.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
Mssmisson's last build is not based on Drizzy's release, and yes, it's not as fast. A lot of eye candy but not as fast. Just have to wait for the right release.

Zenulator's last release, on the other hand, is the fastest one yet. Just be sure to be using the correct images: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4416987&postcount=917
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I totally disagree. Then newer hero builds are faster, mine and zens, well rather (twisted's builds and jac's[which is ripped from drizzy]), and the link you're pointing to has speed improvments from using the different rootfs with compache and backing swap and a squashfs file system. It's not a difference in the build.

I'm intersted in squashfs, I'll be posting an updated build in a bit for my hero in both squashfs and regular cramfs format.
[Touch CDMA General] clockworx:
Is Caller ID still broken in the newer builds? If so, is it one of those "proprietary code" issues that is pretty much unfixable, or is it just something that will eventually be fixed. I love the Hero builds, but non-working caller ID is about the only thing that holds me back....
[Touch CDMA General] mnherky:
Do you think the Hero builds will ever be as fast as your Rodgers build? So far your Rodgers is the only one that I have been able to use as an "everyday" OS. all the others hang too often reloaded the home screen.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
Well, I did the rootfs/squashfs/large_compcache stuff for zenulator, and I can provide you with a modified build of your last one too.

I had already modified it to try it myself.

You can get it here:

Vogue modified "bundle": http://www.4shared.com/file/128235439/da1a951b/mssmisson-hero-vogue-2009-08-27.html

Kaiser modified bundle (with wifi): http://www.4shared.com/file/128235450/f59c8a39/mssmisson-hero-kaiser-wifi-2009-08-27.html

Both have:

- system.sqsh (your system.img but in SquashFS instead of CramFS)

- zImage (my zImage compilation of the latests sources (2009-08-26) with builtin SquashFS support)

- rootfs (new rootfs with large compcache+32MB swapfile+SquashFS+optimizations)

The rootfs does not load a backing store anymore (it ended out as counter productive).

I still think this build is not as fast as your last one... :-/

(I was hopping it would be faster)

And btw, jac has stated in the forums that he got the update directly from HayKuro, at the same time than Drizzy, and that they are independent ports...
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Using compache I don't have issues with hang, but no I don't think they will, there's alot of overhead with the htc stuff.. Unless you don't use touchflo and just use the regular home then they're pretty good.

I'm going to try the squashfs zimage and rootfs and I'll report back. I've already pm'd him about putting it on google code so we'll see.

the latest hero is up now in cramfs and once I know about squashfs I'll put up a system.squashfs of it as well.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I know that's what he says :) that's why I don't want to be invloved in their drama..

I actually am putting together the squash build myself as I'd like to know how to do it properly for the future..

Thanks man.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
Then don't forget you have to compile a kernel youself, with SquashFS support built-in (or module). Or use the zImage I made. It's not compiled by default.

And two other things:

Use SquashFS 3.x when you make the image on your machine. The kernel has SquashFS 3.4, there's no compatibility between versions 3.x and 4.x.

And, when you make the image, do not use lzma. Current kernel does not support it.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
K everyone, I've updated the google code site with a squashfs build of my latest hero build and added a bundle with the zimage and rootfs from pmos to use squash support.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
pmos is sure pushing squashfs.......he's got me doing it too.
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
To me, I didn't notice a huge difference in your (zen's) Hero ROM. If it sped up the Rogers ROM a tad, I'd be happy as a clam though!
[Touch CDMA General] margosmark:
http://www.savagechickens.com/2009/08/happy.html

in response to happy as a clam.. i know its unrelated (to android) but hey.
[Touch CDMA General] clockworx:
I tried this, and it said it was still looking for system.img (and therefore failed to boot). I double-checked to make sure I was using the squashbasefiles.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
The squashfs system image needs to be named system.sqsh for the new rootfs.img and zImage to use it. If it doesn't find system.sqsh it looks for a regular cramfs system.img and boots that.
[Touch CDMA General] clockworx:
Oops, I thought it had to be left as .sqsh. Thanks....
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
its supposed to be left as system.sqsh. you need to use the bundle of files posted at vogue-android with it.
[Touch CDMA General] s0v3r1gn:
The new Rodgers build is very nice, responsive, and stable. Thanks Mssmision.

On another note:

Anyone know what has changed in the last few weeks to make Google Voice stop working? Its stopped working on every new build recently. Force closes on load. Around the time that Comp Cache was added to the Kernel. =/ If anyone has any ideas on how I can get it back to working please let me know.

Thanks...
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
I am trying the latest Roger's build using the latest files and I'm getting the "slow fade in / fade out" issue.

Anyone else getting that?
[Touch CDMA General] optimistik:
Is SMS fully working in the newest hero? Just asking cause you were saying you should have it working by this weekend and I haven't seen anyone mention it yet.
[Touch CDMA General] gazpachoking:
I haven't been having any problems running the Google Voice app, but I haven't tried any kernel or rootfs files from after partial bluetooth was enabled. But was the Google Voice app dialing out properly for you? I saw you over in the Google help forum saying that it wasn't working. Did you do something to fix it? Can you clue me in? I really want my outgoing calls to work with Google Voice.
[Touch CDMA General] clockworx:
My girlfriend uses Rogers build on her phone and it has the same issue. I've never heard anyone else mention it and I thought she was the only one until I saw your post.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
it's just the lights file I'm using in that build. I'll update it later, I'm working on hero sms right now..
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
Sounds good...

Yea, Hero is just too slugish for me so I'm sticking with some of the older builds. I think the one I'm using is the last release you had before the kernel was updated with the new key config. I'm not too fond of the new key config.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
me neither. :)
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
new cupcake/donut build posted, and new hero on the way.

I'm still struggling with sms on hero. Turns out it's more work that I thought it was going to be.. Don't worry I haven't abandoned it, I just don't use hero everyday so it's not top priority for me. But I'm still working on it.
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
Same fade in / fade out issue with the new build.
[Touch CDMA General] aross6:
Is the new cupcake/donut based build Hero themed?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
no it's not.

I spent some more time on the ril last night trying some 'tricks' to get it working. Unfortunatly they didn't.. So back to the drawing board.

I also have a new hero leak rom on the go. I'm not sure it's any better, there a couple new apps but nothing really substancial from what I can see. I'll keep you guys posted.
[Touch CDMA General] stickus:
am I missing something?

I've downloaded the new cupcake squashfs image and can't get it to boot. I've downloaded the squashfsbasefiles.zip as well, is there something else I'm missing? On boot up it still thinks it should be looking for the system.img. Anyone??
[Touch CDMA General] Kiiv:
After three tries, I think I've found the good thread to ask my question directly to the appropriate man :p

(For sure, you have too many android threads in the Vogue section :D)

So, first of all : thank you very much for your work mssmison. I enjoy it so much.

I try as many builds I can ^^

For information I'm a Polaris user.

The last build I've tried is the hero build in squash FS format. Works very well but very slower than builds in .img format on my Polaris. Is this the same on Vogue?

On the other hand this build correct a problem I have since the beginning : the TouchFlo UI reload completely when I come back to home screen from random app... Even if I come back with 'back' button rather than 'home' button.

Do you know if is it the build or the squash FS system which correct my problem?
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
The new sqsh based system gave me force close on the browser. Anyone else?
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
@mssmison- As always your Hero build is beautiful with nice aesthetics that take the look to a whole 'nother level!!

Any way you could release an .img based version? i'd like to mix n match your system w/ the current rootfs stuff goin on in zens page..
[Touch CDMA General] atx1980:
Hero

Thank you guys this has been nice to have on my vogue.

I would have bought the touch pro 2 when i comes out on sept 8

But sprint is getting the hero in oct 11 and i am jumping ship.

It has been nice to preview and check out the features on what i have to look forward to.

I will donate my phone when its deactivated if you like.

PM Me.
[Touch CDMA General] gjbnh:
Request

I've been following the threads on Android abit (got slightly sidetracked with WM 6.5) and have tried a few builds, mostly zens. But I'm a bit of a newbie on these things. It seems to me that you guys are mixing and matching the various components a bit, and I'm a bit lost as to what I should try. I like the hero builds, but could I request that there be something like a featured build, with ALL of the components in one zip package? I'm just to overwhelmed with keep up with all of the changes that are going on that seem to be almost daily. Give me something stable enough to use, even if it's not perfect. :D thanks
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I'll put up a package later of the latest hero build that includes all required files..
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
yeah I'm thinking when my carrier get's hero I'll jump to.. but we'll see.
[Touch CDMA General] gjbnh:
Thanks mssmison not only for your hard work, but for making it a lot easier to enjoy it :) I too will probably jump ship in a year based on your work when my commitment is up. I just hope that the developers get what they want from Google so we have something that is current and growing.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
for everyone who's not a hero fan, I'll have the new donut drop soon! Oh and I've updated the squashfs bundle on the google page with pmos's latest work. This is what zenulator's including in his regular builds. It's fast and runs good. Use this with any of the squashfs builds.

**in case anyone's wondering the reason I haven't released a new hero build based on the new files yet is because it won't work standalone. They all require a pre-existing data image. I've build em, tried them and they're nice but I don't think they're worth it until they work on a fresh data file.
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
How soon? Heh.
[Touch CDMA General] adeyo:
Really looking forward to the new donut build!

i haven't really figured out what java does for me, it just seems like a file explorer (showing the sdcard folder when i open it). i tried the www.getjar.com and didn't notice anything either. any help?

Also, i LOVE the rogers build -it is my regular, but my favorite keyboard is the original black one from the reg. ion build...anyway for someone to upload the apk for me to add to my rogers and replace the current touch keyboard?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
Just browse the apps repository for this device http://www.getjar.com/software/Java/Motorola_240x320 and download any app.

Then you can run it with the java app.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
k guys, two new builds on the way. Rogers based build updated for speed a stability. (Really guys if there's a build I'd recommend for daily use this is it. Remember must have resolution at 320x480 in default.txt.. Get's 2 days battery life with data connected), as well as a new bundle pack, based on my latest cupcake files with donut love, themed nicely, runs fast and is very stable.
[Touch CDMA General] adeyo:
WOW! Thanks pmos69!!!

voice dialer partial fix

sorry about that, still learning my way around...

I searched and read everything i could about the voice dialer, for some reason in my mssmisonsystem.img file, voice dialer still freezes until i soft reset...it no longer crashes. i have all the latest files...if i swap system.img, or nk02, or nkhero it works fine...but can't figure why it freezes. any thoughts?? i have waited as long as 10 min. and it never goes back w/o soft reset.

yours is my favorite system by far!! love the extended drawer and cant wait for extra homescreens to be done!!!

Thanks for all your work!
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
using your ion system.img, can't wait for this release. if you need another beta tester PM me, only have an SDHC though. will patiently wait for the release. love your work.

I need a tester for hero who had a bell mobility grey vogue..

I need to test a theory.

Please PM me.
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
So I just watched a youtube video of the real hero. Wow, looks sharp. So what parts are considered touchflo and thus disabled in the basic (better performing) image? Everything that has that HTC-ish look?

I'm hoping that the mail and weather widgets do not cause the lag.

Cheers
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
weather widget does, mail doesn't

on a side note, does anyone know if 911 works?
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Thanks, how about sms widgey?

Not sure there are any brave volunteers to test this :p
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
sms doesnt slow it down either.
