2 lock screen issue

hey guys im new here on xda. i got evrything started. hero is on my sprint touch but for the unlock screen its the slide down lock from hero then it has the android Draw a pattern combination. n i dont know what it is. cud you guys help me out or tell me if anyone else is experiencing this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Did you check your security settings? Go to settings->security and look for the unlock pattern options.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmcnano:
mh..im trying the latest build, and lol its weird! it starts loading, shows the HTC screen, then the hero screen...black screen.......and back to HTC screen..and it loops like that, any clue? Oo
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Did you forget your pattern? You must have gone in to set it up at some point, unless you got the data.img you are using from a friend or something?

The easy fix to this is deleting the data file from your SD card and having Hero start from scratch on it. When you boot up you'll have to reset everything, but at least you won't be stuck at the security pattern. And next time don't forget yours. :p
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Check the resolution you have set in the default.txt. IT HAS TO BE 320x480. If it is not set at this, you will just sit in that infinite loop forever. Change the values to 320x480 and reboot and it should work.

Just remember to be patient.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmcnano:
thanks man! Worked just fine, but damn this build is slow, is that for everyone? After a little while it seems to work faster. Also, whats up with the wifi? No wifi here?

Thanks!

But with senseUI and a QVGA screen, how can this not be better than the Hero for the vogue?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
This is fixed automatically in the more recent basefiles.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
Yeah, a native QVGA version of the Sense UI would surely run smoother than this. Although I doubt it'll be a big difference. It still wouldn't fix any memory issues, which is the biggest problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skola28:
For sure will be better than the Hero system with respect to the display; maybe we can finally get away from 320x480.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GODZSON:
@zenulator and everyone's colabo.. Thank you, just tried it on my old vogue and its nice, well done

God Bless
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
The delay should be things "settling down" (processes loading, sdcard access, things being swapped out, etc).

In newest Hero updates more widgets to things asynchronously, so the device won't freeze but a lot more stuff is happening in the background.

One note: If you are using the latest basefiles, usernit is not read. User settings are in the *.user.conf files (one for each build type)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
I doubt it, they'll probably just use scailing like we do now.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skola28:
I'm sure they will make the aspect ratio correct. Right now, on Kaiser, we have to deal with squished graphics in order to run Hero. Since the Click should be 320x240 (QVGA) like the Kaiser, we should be able to get the interface to actually fit correctly. I hate 320x480 with a passion.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tstack77:
I highly doubt that they would just use scaling alone. With the screen scaled like it is now, there is that blurry look/haze to all text and icons, which they wouldn't be able to sell on a production device.

It wouldn't be very hard for them to simply redesign the UI for a QVGA screen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] arleybarros:
there's some MMI issues in my GSM SIM.

This version is very good, it heave all Languages, including pt-br that is my.

still heaving that anoying touchscreen freeze when the phone vibrates (heave to restart), but i know this is a NIKE problem, and i'm not requesting anything.

VERY FAST.

Thank you.

HTC Tatoo will be have Andorid with htc sense on QVGA resolutions, so maybe we have it on kaiser?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
maybe......get me the rom....

oh yea i've built another hero based on modaco's leak. it's pretty much the same except it's the full rom from his hero build instead of being built from the dream port.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] NarSan:
ok, see what I can do

Hey, I have a question. The business card reader application that has been added to the new hero build, where can I get an apk for that to install it in another build? I use ION primarily and would love to have that app in the build I use the most. =)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gjbnh:
GPS

I'm using you latest Hero 2 with additional files, the ones posted in the last 2 days. It feels slower to me, and I've lost GPS. Neither are really important to me, but I wanted to give you some feedback. And it sounds like there's a NEW hero build in the pipe; goody :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
hey did you pull the superhero build or is it not uploaded yet? thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i'm testing it a little more before i release it. so i don't have to pull it :p it's pretty good to go but i might take out a few things that are useless to us like htc sync and it stays running in the background taking up memory and processing cycles. tomorrow i'll most likely put it out.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
I like first-post update, Godzilla. Looking forward to it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Does HTC sync work? (as long as you have the desktop app, of course)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i don't know because i can only use the adb drivers to connect to android i've never tried the htc sync app for windows since i hardly use windows anyway. it might work over wifi if the htc sync windows app supports sync over wifi.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Don't think so... It's a very limited app, anyway.

Just checking.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
i can confirm it doesn't work. i tried a while back.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Thanks, for your help. Yes i wondered where the user.conf files are for. Am i right with renaming them to user.conf (without hero. rogers. ion. before)?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
No, no need to rename them.

You should keep them all. The correct one will be selected and used depending on the system.img/sqsh you are using.

This way, you can keep different configs for different build types.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Nice to hear that, really a great feature that the builds are detecting by themself what they need.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Nothing special, really.

Was already happening in the background for other stuff.

It was just extended to the conf files also.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I'm uploading the super hero build based on modaco's release for hero. The two builds are pretty much the same as far as speed goes. The main difference is this is already odexed from htc and it sets up the true hero home screen. Use it with the latest basefiles from vogue-android. I've had it running since last night with no issues so I'm just going to release it as is.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] garringm:
First great job to everyone who is working on this you can't be thanked enough.

I have a routine of going through the settings and disabling a lot of the stuff my phone doesn't need or use according to their description as most of you may do as well. My question is whats the possibility of removing these from Android altogether. Say for example the trackball notifications I don't have one on my Tilt so I disable all that stuff. You all modify tweak and do whatever you can to run android as is on our phones so why can we not tailor it to more fit our phones I'm sure say for instance that the trackball notifications is a running process in the background probly doesn't hurt a lot but i'm sure its not helping on this memor issue that most of us experience. Just my 2 cents though take it for what its worth.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
Holly ****, man. Tested the new superhero and use it with the latest basefiles from vogue-android. Booted with no data.img and after less than 5 minutes it came to the google setup. No force close, no sorry, and no has to be closed at all. And it it's really fu***ng fast. Detects WiFi on kaiser by default. Really, really great :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] arleybarros:
Well in this last SUPER HERO it works the pc sincronization. if you plug a usb cable, you will see the "htc sync" notification, and if you go in settings / data synchronization / pc you'll see that it doesn't give any errors anymore.

the only problem is that there's no driver for windows, so there's no communication.

i heave tryed the vogue adb drivers, but no luck (heave a NIKE).

maybe on a vogue you can sync outlook contacts with a usb cable.

Thanks again...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
You have to install the HTC Sync app in windows.

http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=631&news_id=222

I think the drivers are included.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] arleybarros:
yeah, it is installed...

the drivers provided does not start the device (windows 7)

tryed this also, but no luck at all...

[Touch CDMA Android Development] rzawora:
hey I'm running the new super hero build and it does seem to be running very well for me. I'm just having a couple problems, which I think may be related, and I wanted to see if someone may be able to help me with what the problem is.

when I go under settings and try to change the ringtone or notification sounds the list comes up empty...no choices other than ok and cancel. It's almost as if it's not seeing the media folder on the sd card, but i can change the backgrounds so I'm not sure.

the second issue is when receiving a call it takes forever for the call screen to come up. I think this may be cause by it not having a sound to play when it tries to ring. Eventually, as the call is going to voicemail, it'll start ringing what sounds like an old cell phone ringer, 3 rings.

Anyway, I think I did everything I was supposed to do correctly, these are the only issues i'm running into as of now, just wondering if someone can help?

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
You removed portuguese language support from this one?

It's weird, because the language selection screen that appeared (booting without data.img) was in portuguese, but then the language didn't appear in the list :confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I'll look into that for you. Superhero is based off the modaco hero rom so the config files are different than the vogue-hero build. I'll take a look at the config and see what I can do. I didn't touch any settings for this build but it should be an easy fix. I'll also put gmail back in the mail widget. Any other changes? Also did you try herox?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
What is the difference between HeroX and SuperHero?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
He's got it all mentioned on the first post..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Haven't tried herox yet. Still looking at superhero. (writing this on the phone :))

Modem.apk missing. Can't get data without it, but wifi is ok...

Will try herox next. Can only be. Better with your work over this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Okay, I have NOT been able to get renice to work at all in today's superhero release. What do you change in user.conf to make it work? Just running it in gscript doesn't work. THANKS!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
It's already running, if enabled in hero.user.conf

Normally you can check it's running if you do a ps and find "pause 500" in the results.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Using xhero now. Very, very nice. Seems much more responsive, although I was using wifi in superhero and am using data in xhero (modem is back).

The browser sure is more responsive. As well as rosie in general. The weather clock is working for me, and that didnt happen in the last releases.

No major showstoppers. Really nice.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Sorry, I'm just not following you.

1) how do I make sure it's enabled in hero.user.conf

2) How do I do a ps?

Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Hero.user.find is a text file. Edit it with your favorite editor.

Ps is a command you can run in term(inal)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
Type 'adb shell' from command prompt or go to terminal app from phone and enter 'ps' at the command line.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
I reinstalled ubuntu on my machine.

Can someone throw some light on how to edit a kernel. I want to see if I can help in any way...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Sorry for the question that I'm sure has been asked many times before.m However when I use the search "camera image" etc.. so many repsonse come up it would tke a day to read.

My camera takes horrible pictures. Like real bad, grainy lined pics. But it's not that the pic is being saved that way, when the camera app is open, the view is grainy as hell.

Anyone else have this or know how I can fix it?

thanks ^^
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
thats just how the camera is for now. we're lucky it's even working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Ahh, okay then. Glad to know thats just how it is and it's not user error on my parts. Thanks for the quick repsonse and the continued efforts of your builds!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
data should work without the modem.apk. you can turn data on and off in the hero settings.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
I thought so too, but doesn't work like that for me not in this or the previous hero builds and not in xrom either. Always have to use the modem app Can it be something to do with gsm/umts?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
possibly. it always works for me. i used superhero all day today and didn't even realize i forgot to add the modem.apk
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Phone ringing is much better in xhero. Rings at 2nd/3rd ring tone on average when sleeping.

(no vibration helps).

Borderline usable.

Not at xrom level, but getting much better
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Its not a big issue. Only have to use modem one time after booting. After that, turning data on/off works in the normal way.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
must be the gsm, i never have to use it unless when im driving sometimes i lose data
[Touch CDMA Android Development] 2girls1cup:
I just want a stable and fast build. I know thats alot to ask for, but sometimes patience wears thin. good job zen. I really thank you for your hard work. Also there are many others like enatefox who I appreciate. My main qualm is the sms. I look forward to the day sms is fixed. to me that is number one priority because its a bug that makes the user insecure about whether texts get recieved or not. anyway keep up the progress. maybe one day the hero will be usable on an everyday basis.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
I suggest you use xRom for everyday use, it's nice, fast and stable.

Hero is still very much a work in progress.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
comments on HeroX:

Pros: pretty darn fast with 96mg linux swap (but still not as fast as xROM). if you are using 32mb, I suggest increasing it (change values in hero.conf). nearly everyday usable. market works. Fast startup. EDIT: after using for a while, slows down a bit for me.

Cons: albums won't load SD card for some reason - says loading, then no pics found. no voice search (tried installing apk, got force close).

great job zen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Slows down if using large compcache swap like that. Decrease it by 10-20MB for a more smooth ride and change swappiness to 0.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JeckyllHavok:
For me album wirks in herox
[Touch CDMA Android Development] garringm:

Maybe it works maybe it doesn't but now my phone rings in on the first ring with data enabled mind you I have no widgets added yet but maybe it works. I am running the zen hero from 8-9-09 as it seems to be the best for me so far
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Zarboz:
id keep your virtual memory sizes as CLOSE to actual hero device sizes as possible... im on a G1 and a Mytouch running hero on both and the best swap for those devices is 40-43 megs when you use a large swap your gunna slow down after time because thats just a virtual memory to fill up and grab info from once it fills and its gotta sort through 96 megs of virtual memory itll cause a slow down... nothing a reboot wont fix though

glad to see hero and android coming along on other devices than the native ones cant wait to get a htc vogue off craigslist and flash hero on it :D

So Zen, whats the skinny on this new Donut package on the code site? Is it different in any major way (recognizing each chefs unique spice) from the builds mssmison put out?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Different processors.

The processor used by the Dream supports frequency scaling unlike ours.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] nerraDD:
zenulator - Thanks for the hard work on providing the Hero builds for everyone. Much appreciated.

I've tried both the Super Hero and HeroX builds. With a bit of reading I was able to get them installed and working ok on my Telus Vogue.

They look beautiful but I'm curious about the speed. Both seem quite sluggish, and make the phone fairly difficult/unresponsive for normal use. I've seen general "Hero" build slowness mentioned in a few places in other threads but wasn't sure if this was referencing earlier builds. Is this slowness normal, even with the most recent builds?

Thanks for any comments.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Try vogue-hero with the data.img and new basefiles at vogue-android. Also try to turn off compcache and turn on swap and set it at 64mb and turn on renicer in the hero.user.conf. And yes hero is going to be a little slower than regular android builds but a lot of people have got it running quite nicely. It all depends on how many widgets you have up and which ones. The vogue-hero build doesn't set up any widgets so it's going to be faster starting off. Super Hero is for people that want to see the full hero ui at first boot. With the home screen setup the way a real hero would be. The down side to that is that all those widgets really slow things down.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] nerraDD:
Thanks for the tips - I'll give this a shot!
