Strange Bug

HI Guys,

Has anyone experienced this using 3.1? Bare with me cos this is hard to explain, but i'll try my best :D

You're all gonna think i'm nuts :eek:

It only seems to occur after a full day or so of using the phone, various apps etc. But has happened twice now. A restart has fixed it on both occasions.

I can't remember exactly what i was doing the first time this occured but as the second occurence happened yesterday i can remember exactly what i was doing -

So yesterday i was checking a text message and viewing the conversation, i needed an address i had been sent from a different person; but pressed Home by accident instead of back to go to the messages list - no problem, i go into the apps list, locate messages and clicked into it - the phone seemed to hang for a minute or so, and screen animations seemed to start being very jerkyn, then ..

Instead of displaying my messages screen it gave me the screen of an ended call from earlier in the day with the persons picture and the greyed out 'end call' button - wierd i thought, pressed back and it seemed to go through all the screens i had been in throughout the day, applications, games etc- with each press of the back button it went further back into an earlier app/screen - even to earlier search results in the market app. Pressed Home - works as expected, then try opening any apps, same occurs...all the time screen transitions were very jerky.

Any app i tried to open afterwards would start the loop over again - End call screen etc - very strange, i'm not sure if there's something i have installed causing this or if it's the ROM but i've never experienced this - i was using the latest official Orange Rom before the 3.1 -I downgraded using the goldcard method as i couldnt't install straight from the previous rom, wiped, formatted and repartitioned the memory card etc before installing so not sure if going through any of this would have any negative effects?

Just thought i'd post this as it's very strange - any ideas whats causing this, has anyone else experienced this?

Cheers

Paul

A2SD:- This has been asked several time in this thread. Try starting your phone without sd crad and you will immidiately notice what happenes!

I think that only a small portion is installed on sd but large chunk still remains in phone memory it should be viceverca. Perhaps just registry and shortcut on phone.

Battery:- This has also been repeated with mixed answres. For me battery life is vey much on acceptable side. I can say it is very positive and does not consump excessive.

Exchange sync stops working after a while

First, great ROM MoDaCo! :)

Second, my exchange sync seems to stop working after a while.

If I reboot the phone then things seems to be working again...but only for a while... :confused:

I really haven't given much effort in finding a solution, as I'm almost always near a computer and can check my mail there. But if anyone else is having the same problems, a hint would be appreciated.

Third, I'm syncing my phone with my very own exchange box, and it keeps whining "Security warning - There are problems with the security certificate for this server. This certificate is not from a trusted authority."

Fair enough, since it's my self-signed certificate.

Is it somehow possible to import my cert on my phone? That would really be a great thing.

Does anyone know if that's possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noShame:
I have some problems/questions about this rom.

The vibration feels much less (almost not at all) when typing compared to stock, do you experience this? (edited for saving battery maybe?) Is there a way to make it vibrate a bit harder because it was a lot nicer to type before.

Am I supposed to feel that it is so much faster compared to the stock rom, because I honestly don't.

The menu/application list feels a bit jerky/laggy - is it like this to you too?

Google maps don't have multitouch with this release?? Instead there are two buttons for zooming, can I get the pinch method back?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lord Lucan:
noShame, No ROM is going to fly out of Hero! Having said that, it all depends on how many apps are running in backgroung which will effect overall performances of all micro computers and Hero is one of them. For example,when I run WiFi tether app my ero becomes sluggish but I dont need to use it when tethering,soon as I have done with it it fine again.

Keypad vibration is ok as I feel it everytime when I press a key but I dont want it to shake me but surely tickle me!

With google map, I dont know. Its same as that flipping clock!

Thanks for a great ROM

Just wanted to say thanks for making such a great, stable ROM for the Hero. I just picked mine up used, a little over a week ago and tried out a bunch of 2.1 ROMs; but nothing was really fast/stable enough for daily use yet. Went to Modaco 3.1 and must say I'm very happy.

Keep up the great work, all of us appreciate it! :)

htc search button

ok everything working great am on the 3.1 modaco, and have a small querry here, in the 3.o version, i was able to press the search button on the front that sits, on the same button with the back button, and it used to offer me the option to launch either google search or to search anything on the phone. but now pressing the same search button, offers me either quick compose or voice search, is there anyway, of changing this behaviour please.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
Is there any solution for installing Google Maps on this build? Kind of a shame that we are so limited in this area :( Curse Google and their 1.6 requirement, or curse HTC for their lack of update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Boucha:
thanks for such a gr8 ROM ... stable, fast ! lot less force close now. Only issue is sometime when I connect the USB, i get force close and need to restart ... Else is superb !

Google Maps? The cupcake version is fine tho...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adamg89:
I think I was having the same problem. Anything to do with searching it was automatically wanting to do voice search. Solution...remove the voice search apk from system/app. Was bugging me and really only a novelty.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garok89:
Hey Modaco, I have a little proposition for you...

You may be aware of my work with the cyanogenmod updater (cmupdater) over at the Dream/G1 section...

My friend has finally rooted his hero and has settled on your ROM after testing a few.

It seems that yours is the most stable and most regularly updated of the Hero ROMs

I would like to propose that you start distributing in a cmupdater friendly manner.

For the time being you could just use the cmupdater and change the url of the .json file that points to the download locations

But it would also be very easy to branch it in to an official MoDaCo Updater - just a few bits of text and some graphics....

If you are interested, email me at cmupdater@gmail.com
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Thanks... i'll drop you a message!

Can´t wait till u release a 2.1 ROM :-D go HTC and then go MoDaCo ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
Hi Paul,

I am from India (Mumbai). I had bought HTC Hero recently about a month back. It came pre-installed with MoDaCo 2.8 ROM I guess this was rooted. With serial number I had found out that this handset was originally ‘Orange UK’. After few days of fiddling around, I upgrade this to 3.0. and now 3.1. I must say this is very good and responsive ROM. However I have some queries/problems.

1. I live in Mumbai city. The weather widget on home screen always shows ‘Current city’ and never Mumbai. Also it always show Dreary, when it’s bright sunlight out there.

2. In time zone I had to select India-Kolkata. There is no option of any other city here. At least 4 major cities should be an available.

Please let me know how to resolve this.

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
You might have more luck talking to Paul on his own site, or twitter

Search Modaco on google and go to his own hero forum.

However he might read this and someone else here might also have an answer for you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sslevski:
hey fellows i've got a question

i want to install this rom and app2sd

but which one to install first?

and is there some sort of a guide or something ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raymond2_nl:
install guide

You don't have to install both, because (quoted from topic start): "A2SD included (fully automatic - thanks cyanogen!)"

If you install the ROM, app2sd starts working automatically.

As for the guide, I followed this one and it worked flawlessly. Hmmm, wanted to include a link here, but that won't work as it's my first post. Anyway, google on `The "How To" guide, Seeing as everyone keeps harping on about not having one...` and you´ll get there (it´s on the modaco forum) :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sslevski:
thanks man! i found the guide and now i'm going through it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobydeek:
isit possible to install this ROM (or any ROM in general) without rooting?

hey guys...i need help with wavesecure

i just rooted my phone and got the modaco 3.1 ROM

now i did the update.zip thing to install it and everything went well

I then wanted to have wavesecure on my phone and i didn't know how to install the wavesecure package that you provided in your download section so i decided to download it again from the market place since i already had it before root

so anyways i installed wavesecure and when i try to enter my PIN number it gives me an error that its an invalid PIN number.

so I went on wavesecures website and tried logging in with the same PIN and it worked

so now i'm stuck because i had made a backup of my contacts with wavesecure and i don't know how to get it back...

i need help please

Maybe this issue is going to be fixed if someone tells me how to install the wavesecure add on pack? Do i rename it update.zip and install it just like i installed the ROM?

by the way i'm a noob...so my question might have already been answered but i couldn't find anything when i searched

thanks in advance

MoDaCo 3.1 acts like android 1.5

please help me.... wana continue using modaco but dont see any reason if 2.1 apps dosent work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsyvanpe:
There's a very simple reason for this. MoDaCo IS based on 1.5. Both Villain and Kagudroid are based on 2.1.. Cheers!

why try anything else people. 2.1 eats your battery and also can leave you with 'no service' and radio probs. even on Moto Milestone 2.1 is causing issues with radio. not worth messing with till we have official release. this rom even bypasses orange silly issues with unlocking phone. guess i am now an avid follower....... will 3.2 cause issues with unlocks? this rom has been a lifesaver for many people who bought the handsets locked to orange uk........... :D

thanks paul

oh by the way do i need to partition my sd card prior to flashing your rom. i haven't and its working fine so far
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simondadiamond:
Linda Manager Black Screen

I am not sure if this is MoDaCo specific but hopefully someone can help me out

I am running the latest MoDaCo 3.1 Rom and decided to partition my SD card to ext3 to use A2SD. One this was complete, Linda Manager stopped working. When i open it, it stays at a black screen. I have tried reinstalling without success.

I then formatted my card again thinking it was an error or something. This however deleted all my apps (that are not part of MoDaCo 3.1) I'm assuming A2SD automatically transferred all those apps to SD. Is there anyway to control this? Any preferences anywhere?

Anyways, my main concern (as i have titanium backup, restoring the apps was a no brainer) is that Linda File manager is not working, i prefer it over Astro ans would like to know if anyone else has encountered this problem and how they solved it.

Thanks in advance

Simon

So i found the solution!

It had to do with the new version of Linda I think and a quick and weird solution is to touch the trackball......

this has to be done every time the program opens up...

and where can i find the core chinese ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] disruptorx:
Hi

can I update multiple packages at once while im in the recovery console? like your wavesecure,enhanced and radio packages?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wad3th:
Thanks for the great ROM! Am having some trouble thought if anyone could give any advice, mainly my Google Maps no longer works. It just comes up with 'The application Google Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.' have to click force close, and this happens on initial boot of my Hero, and when ever I try and access maps.

Everything else works, but I now have no maps! :(

Ive tried reloading the ROM, Ive repartitioned the SD card, and then reloaded the ROM but still getting the same error.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] v33r3n:
hi im bit of a noob at all of this. i have updated the rom to the new 3.1 and was wondering how do you add the wavesecure add on and also how do you know what radio you are currently running. furthermore if it isnt the new 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 how do you install this and what is the benefit of installing it?

thanks in advance

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Any news on 3.2 -- or are you waiting on 2.1??

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] v33r3n:
ye im a noob as well but i tried to jus add wavesecure in the same manner as i added the 3.1 ROM and it worked. so jus go into root menu thing and install the wavesecure.zip file and wen the phone reboots it will be in the menu. minor problem i found though was that wen i tried restoring my contacts through wavesecure it kept on sayin 'network error' so i dunno if its because the wavesecure package is the older edition and doesnt update or something....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jelbo:
v33r3n, I read the solution on MoDaCo (ksolheim): Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> WaveSecure Beta -> Clear data.

Worked for me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alt236:
Just a quick question.

I don't know if its a problem with the rom or somethign else (as I didn't stumble on it before) but Albums does not seem to recoginse certain (all?) png files.

Specifically, those downloaded using the Backgrounds app...

Anyone has any ideas?
