I tried that command - I just get Permission denied 20

I then tried su and got permission denied
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
The builds that I repacked for wifi fix su issues but if you're using the ones for Vogue, you can bypass that error by using /bin/su instead of just su. It's pointing to the one in system.img which are not chmod'ed 4755. The one in /bin is kind of a vulnerability in that it does not prompt for a password or permission.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i have some of those settings already in the pureblack build mainly the dirty_writeback dirty_ratio and dirty_background_ratio. they aren't the exact number i used and the new build has different ones. i'll look into the page cluster setting though. I also have put the backing store on a file as well as the linux swap. so no more partitions. i'll put up a rootfs.img with your settings and one up with my settings up and see if you can tell a difference. and whats left is getting a hold of htc's new hero firmware if it exists as well as building a mini hero flashable rom.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ibanezbass:
hmm would the hero firmware even work on our device(s)? seems like there would be a need for HEAVY modification, but then again i dont know a lot lol also i'm curious to if the bootloader would look identical to the hero's if that was the case? lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
we would flash a modified image not the exact firmware. "HEAVEY modification" is what we've been doing already by getting hero to run on our phones and hero would have to be trimmed down a lot to fit it on the vogue. ion is a better choice at first then maybe a hero flashable image. most likely a core system with apps running from the sdcard.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
sms working in latest test build. i'll release it later tonight.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:
I noticed with PureBlack that my mobile phone would ring on the 3rd to 5th actual ring causing me to miss a lot of calls... has this been addressed or is this just a limitation of Hero on our phones?

Glad to hear of the SMS fix in the upcoming build!

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i took down the new rootfs.img and test build. if you down loaded them they were the wrong files. i'll have them back up in a little bit.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Great!!!

About further developments, maybe this will help: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4376961&postcount=7528

At least the hardware should be closer to what we have.

(although it's donut. without sense-ui)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ibanezbass:
awesome job on the sms fix zen! i've been looking foward to that! (and some small attempts to fix it myself that didnt work lol) about the flash, i thought there was problems writing to the NAND. have you messed with it any already?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
This has been true of any build. If anything, Pure Black has been the best for me in receiving calls. What I have learned from the great Zen and enatefox is that this is directly related to the ril, which is the same in every build until dzo or someone else has time to rebuild it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
looks good
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
well i had sms working but when i went to reproduce it with a fresh data.img it went back to showing the failed notification. so round two. i'm not going to release the build until its fixed.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:
So this must just be hero issue then because ion and cupcake don't have this issue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Yes, that is true. Sorry, I forgot that. It's been so long since I tried cupcake! Might go back and try it for a little while, while I patiently await the sms fix.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ibanezbass:
i await with finger, toes, arms, legs, and possibly eyes crossed... lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:
Hahaha - this is fun eh... great to try out the newest developments!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] s0v3r1gn:
I feel lucky mr zen that I have managed to pull your Pi builds both times before you remove them. =)

Been running them since you put them up. Seems to run just fine for me so far. Im also running the rootfs.img with the backing store swap file. =)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
your lucky i always miss them by about ten minutes:olol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ibanezbass:
zen can u post up the modified mms.apk? i would like to give a go at it, as you might know i've been attempting to repair this problem and i have a few ideas from looking at what you have now. Thanks. :-)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
You can get it here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540651 it works as a replacement to the hero Mms.apk. It's actually a modification of the opensource Mms.apk found in Ion and cupcake. It won't install on it's own unless you remove the origional hero Mms.apk and Mms.odex. So if you know how to take apart the system.img and remove the hero messenger then your good. Have a shot at it but I'll warn you if your going to try what I did then be prepared for some headaches and force closes and lots of reboots. I eventually gave up and can't reproduce it and can't remember the exact steps because it happened on accident switching different builds around and I didn't switch the data.img. So something from one build (either Ion or Rogers) carried over in the data.img that made it work. So basically boot hero get a data.img boot Ion or Rogers get all kinds of errors and force closes then try to open the messenger and send sms. Then boot back into hero and try to send sms. Then pull your data image and look for anything Mms related. Or boot hero with the modified Mms.apk from a Ion or Rogers data.img. It's a cluster f_ck.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
I am testing out the new xROM build and it seems like a very nice themed build. The one thing that I am very pleasantly surprised at, is that the weather/clock somehow managed to update itself without a data connection. I have ppp.nostart=1 in my default, but it still gathered my location and forecast info.

I hope this is not too good to be true and it somehow got data without me manually starting up the connection in modem. I'll just have to see. (Unless there is a logical and hopefully beneficial explanation for it.)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Also download AXMLPrint. It prints XML document from binary XML file (with correct namespace handing & attribute formatting). It's useful when taking apart apks and reading the binary XML.

java -jar AXMLPrinter2.jar call_feature_setting_hero.xml > call_feature_setting_hero.txt

Proprietary code sucks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Do you live in New York? I set it up so that it had weather info from New York. If I didn't the clock wouldn't display. It was a random pick I figured New York would be a good general choice so I typed in the zip code and loaded the weather up before I packed up the data.img.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brsev:
Man, this whole Android on the Vogue is insane. Every single time I start to get frustrated with my phones limitations, someone comes along with an incredible new update that blows that all away. Mssmison had his themed ion builds, which worked great until I tried Zen's Hero build, which was so flashy and animated I forgot how slow it was in comparasion, then there was mssmison's Donut, which seemed awesomely stable and usable and FAST ... and then, right when I started missing the Hero's eye candy, there's this xROM 2.0, which seems like the most ideal compromise yet, with a flawless Hero-esque theme and the HTC music app without sacrificing speed. Hats off to dzo, f00bar, vilord, zenulator, mssmison, and countless others for making this a reality. Major respect, I anxiously await the next development.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tembares:
Earlier I made 2 swap partitions and 1 ext3 partition on my SD card.

I saw there is a new rootfs (http://vogue-hero.googlecode.com/files/rootfs-8-20-09-backingstore+32mbswap.img).

When I use a new rootfs, zImage or initrd IN GENERAL do I have to start Android with a new data.img or can I still use my current one?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Typically, only when you change your system.img
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Yeah, I realized that was the situation. It was very late when I loaded up the image and was just too tired too really think about what was showing up. :p
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Any way to get all the HTC widgets that you had in your builds Zen? I rather liked them.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Brshk1:
Hi Zenulator,

Maybe it's a little too late for requests, as I've been offline a couple of days and didn't visit the forums.

I've been testing Superhero and there are some differences with pureblack that would be worth porting. What I've seen so far:

- in the initial setup, my own locale, which is not English, is selected by default

- the phone shows the right time, and not two hours more (was easy to solve, but affected winmo's time)

- Youtube's videos can be seen, with pureblack only a few could be opened and had video frozen most of the time

Just in case you want to consider them. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
zen the new build is awesome! can't wait to mess around with it.

however does anybody else have a constant "chime" going off. it literally will not stop and i have no notifications and nothing else going on. i have to keep the phone on silent mode or i'll loose it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Which build has the chime? I'm not experiencing this in any of the builds.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] canyoufindben:
xROM

Using your newest xROM with your data.img.

Alltel w/ 3.42 radio.

Using 8-20-09 rootfs.img

8-20-09 zImage

8-1-09 initrd.gz

default.txt with vogue board = 1

Love the themed rom. Speedy, stable. Especially love the clock/weather widget. Only one problem with it. The clock on the clock/weather widget will not update unless the weather updates. If I have the weather set to update every 3 hours (defualt) my clock could be up to 3 hours behind. It won't keep up with the system time in the top bar, but remain the time of the last weather update.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
The weather clock widget works fine for me. Maybe try removing itfrom the home screen and reloading it. Do you have data always on? I didn't make the widget so I don't don't know.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] canyoufindben:
Sorry , I did unload and then reloade it to get my local weather. I leave my data running all the time. Just thought you might have seen this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] plemen:
xROM looks really good and runs fast - love it! I'm not experiencing any of the problems above with clock or constant chimes. On another note, anybody know how to rotate the screen? Is there a widget or key combo?

Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] canyoufindben:
xROM 2.0 Clock/Weather Widget

Ok, nevermind. I use Taskiller, and if I kill all running tasks, it won't update. Keeps the phone nice and responsive, but all I have to do is just refresh the weather and the clock kicks in again.

Just don't kill the Weather Widget, and the time will remain in sync. Sorry, I should have looked at this before I cluttered up the thread.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
Same here..I'm addicted. Tried the xROM (mad quick n stable) but I miss HTC's touch..only way to get that is in the SuperHero.img (which runs mad quick ta me, as well) on the vogue-android code page
[Touch CDMA Android Development] canyoufindben:
If you are using the new keymaps (zImage from August 15 or later) then the screen rotate is hold the vogue's power button for 2 seconds. The onscreen keyboard will popup and then the screen will rotate to landscape mode upon release of the button. Same is true to get it back to portrait mode.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
running new hero themed cupcake, it's very wierd, every once in a while i'll turn off silent mode and give it about 10 mins and it will give constant chimes
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
did you use the data.img in the zip? or have any alarms set? i've been using it since last night with no issues.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Hero update

Zenulator,

Any chance of this update eventually getting into your builds?

Looks good.

http://gizmodo.com/5340981/software-update-fixes-the-htc-heros-only-real-problem

PS: Did you notice the weather clock no longer flips it's numbers every time the device is turned on?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I saw that the other day. Once I get the update I'll put it in the new hero build. The build I'm working on now is suposedly from a leaked firmware but it's not the same one from the that article. So hopefully in a week or so we'll have this on our vogues. Hopefully someone will leak it before then. I always find it funny when I hear about people complaining about hero being slow on the vogue then read about the real hero being slow.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
My thoughts exactly.

On a lighter side: Perhaps they decided to use compcache :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ibanezbass:
i just got a uscc vogue and i havent unlocked it or spl'ed or anything (do you have to?) but android (using the new xrom) locks up after about 5 minutes? can someone tell me what i need to do plz?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zakkain:
This xROM 2.0 thing is amazing - some initial slowdowns at first boot, but it is SOLID. I got really excited by the tether app, but when I ran it it said the kernel did not have the necessary features. :( should have figured that, since tethering isn't ready on the vogue ports yet.

Great job bringing this to us, you rock! No issues to speak of.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Dr. Z:

GREAT job with the xROM! I vote that this be all that gets tweaked until the update for Hero comes out and you guys can work that out. I really am happy with this build--best yet...because it's so fast and stable! Thanks for your commitment to making great stuff and making the best stuff available to us.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Personally, I really like Hero.

And with the right optimizations, I'm running SuperHero very well.

It's fast (don't expect it to be faster than on a real Hero :)) and very stable.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
What do you mean it locks up? What are you doing when it locks up? Can you please give us a little more info. and we can help you out.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
Love this build thanks again I haven't noticed any glitches and the speed is great! :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
used the data in the zip file and have no alarms going off. :confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Zen, was touchpal meant to be included in the xROM as one of your little surprises? Id so, awesome...however, I can't seem to get it to work. Every time I seleci it as my input method, it crashes as soon as I hit a letter. Am i doing something wrong or is this a known issue. I know Cootek developed it, but I wanted your input in case you have an easy solution. Thanks again for this incredible build.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ibanezbass:
Well first of all idk if its just the vogue but the picture looks a lil weird like u can see the verticle lines somewhat but i'm also use to the kaiser, second on resume it goes white for a few seconds and then goes to the lock screen and then out of nowhere, like exiting an app or locking it, it will lock solid. like u cant do anything and the screen freezes and stays on. Is it bc i didnt unlock it and change the radio and or rom?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skydirt:
Anyone experiencing extreme battery usage with xROM 2.0? I have tested twice today. Charged to full, and in 60 mins it was at 10% with non-stop usage (market surfing, texting, opera mini ). Charged again and with ZERO usage( unplugged charger and just let it sit) after 90 mins it was at 10%. I charged again, booted superhero build instead and its 5 hours later and I have 80% battery life remaining and thats with usage.

I'm trying to determine what is draining my batt so fast in xROM 2.0 but I am having no luck.

Bell HTC Touch

8gb sandisk card
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
i've been experiencing this too. not sure if it's just reading the battery wrong though. battery depleted more than normal but it charged alot faster than normal
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Are you using the partial bluetooth files? They are known to be causing severe battery issues at the moment. I am using the previous zImage and rootfs and am having no battery issues with the xrom. Try reverting to those and see what happens.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
If your using the new zImage and rootfs.img from vogue-android then it's the new blue tooth additions. Just revert to an older zImage without bluetooth for now. It should solve your battery problems.

Edit:

dzo put out an experimental kernel to address the issue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I just threw touchpal in there. I had problems with it too. There is an updated version on market. The one I put in there was a older beta.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radem205:
Thank you Zenulator! Is this the here version including the improvements made by HTC?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Yes, mssmision had his up first so I give him credit. This is a straight port of the dream Rom via haykuro and drizzy. I threw it together really quick so there is nothin% added or taken away. Use mssmisions because this is more of a personal thing. He doesn't want me using drizzy's build so use his and donate to him or what ever because I do this for fun. I like running my own builds.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] SkywalkerPD:
Thanks for your great work on Android for HTC devices.

Just downloaded the latest (system-haykuro.img) Hero build.

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 Android Development] pmos69:
Trying mssmison's port right now.

It's definetely fast(er) and smooth !

Some small issues, but seems a good improvement in terms of speed.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Can someone spot the differences/improvements/new bugs?

What I notice:

- TouchFlow is faster/smoother

- Overall speed seems improved

- Updated Album application

. . . - new options

. . . - faster

. . . - smoother movie playback

- New java application/launcher !!!

- Updated terminal application (don't know if it's a default app)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ibanezbass:
is all the bluetooth stuff just for vogue or is it on kaiser too?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Maybe it's me but I'm getting acore crashes and freezes on mssmison's Hero build.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
not here...

What seems to me, after a few quick looks at the memory stats, is that this build might try to keep more stuff in memory (perhaps for speed reasons).

It's working very well in my setup, but I'm using a 30MB compcache (>120MB of in memory compressed swap).

You might as well try http://vogue-hero.googlecode.com/files/rootfs-8-20-09-30MBcc-backingstore+32mbswap-PMOS69.img to see if it makes a difference.

(note: It will work even without a backing store partition)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
the one i did is a straight port of drizzy's and haykuro's it's still up at vogue-hero.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
What's the difference between yours and mssmison's? And all I did was the usual edits for wifi, etc. but never got to the home screen. At least it's my fault then.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
look out: first boot takes a loooooong time.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Nevermind, I think it's cootek's problem. I tried to download the app from the market and it said the file was improperly signed.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Not yet, but HTC is releasing the update soon. I'm sure it will be in our hands soon after. I'm waiting for that one.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Yes, AFAIK, this is a port made from a leak of the new version/update
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Okay.. neither Zen's nor mssmison's will load Rosie. I get to the lock screen eventually then it just endlessly shows HTC without the notification bar. Occasionally, acore crashes and that's about it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jaredakelly:
new hero build is faster, however still haveing problems with everytime i go back to the home screen it has to re-load touchflo, and it's unresponsive for about 30 seconds or so
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
+1 on this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
Are you using the original images or the ones you modded?

No problems here...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Both. Neither work for me. 8-14a zImage, Zen's rootfs w/compcache + 60Mb swap, zImage from 8-15... same as before.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
I think what Zen and Mss have done is heroic (pardon the pun), but maybe its just going to take a while for the update to work right just like the first build did...and, maybe, HTC still didn't get it right with the update (although leaked video footage suggests that it's perfect now).

Touchflo reloaded a few times on me too and exchange isn't connecting either. If exchange doesn't connect, there's no point for me personally to use Hero.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pmos69:
no problems with zImage-18-08-09 and rootfs-8-20-09-30MBcc-backingstore+32mbswap-PMOS69

And take notice: 1st boot really takes a long time, yes.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
i've had it up and running since last night with no problems besides the usual system not responding at first boot. other than that its ok. not optimized.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
can you post which kernel and rootfs.img you're using?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
pre blue tooth kernel. with the old style keymap. i don't know what date it is. most likely the one from the 14th on vogue-hero. and rootfs-8-20-09-30MBcc-backingstore+32mbswap-PMOS69.img on vogue-hero as well. of course you have a kaiser though it shouldn't make a difference. i'd go with mssmisions i saw that he's incorporated some optimizations. mine did take a while on first boot but i've been running with a couple widgets and back and forth web browsing without problems. haven't tried java yet but i've got a bunch of java stuff stored away to test it with. i'll mess around with the image some more later on. if you want go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551722 and take a look. what ever i do will most likely come from there unless something else comes along.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Are you using Exchange?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
Yea, I had the same set up but it just goes from the notification bar and black screen to the HTC logo and back again. I'll assume I'm special and quit posting this but as long as it's working for others.. I'll keep the rage high on my end.
