Tether CF on 3.1

Just upgraded to 3.1 (from an old thingy like 2.5; not entirely sure on the version). Phone runs smooth, except for the Wireless Tether app. This app worked fine before flash. Now, it force closes right after startup.

From the error log (in eclipse), it looks like some filesystem problems:

01-12 21:29:25.443: ERROR/ApplicationContext(686): Couldn't rename file /data/data/android.tether/shared_prefs/android.tether_preferences.xml to backup file /data/data/android.tether/shared_prefs/android.tether_preferences.xml.bak

Has anyone experienced this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vesterbaek:
Hmm, well not really sure but the problem was, but I removed the existing tether app from the adb shell:

# rm /data/app/android.tether.apk
# rm -rf /data/data/android.tether

... and downloaded the wireless tether 1.60 app from google code (installed the marked app "Tether Petition" which has links to the page). It works like a charm now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RitxAngel:
Hi, first of all thanks for all your work for us, its really amazing.

But i got one question, its possible to install this ROM, i got the 3.0, but without losing all the apps that i got installed and that stuff?

I mean, update the Rom but without install again all my apps and games and themes, etc.

Is that possible? If yes how?

Once again thank you for you work.

This rom is great, very fast smooth, responsive unlike other roms. The only problem i have is the system force close issue, i have had this a few times at random.

How do i sort this out?

READ the first page, you don't need to wipe!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adamg89:
I was using this all day yesterday and was very happy indeed with its improvements over mcr 3.0. Didn't have any force closes etc like maps which people have reported. However, after installing ratcoms clear theme for 3.0 (which has been tested by other users as working fine with 3.1), i began having fc issues with practically everything. Flashed 3.1 again (without wipe) and still had issues with programs. Fixed by reinstalling those programs (like maps, astro, battery widget, apndroid), thought brilliant, working phone again without having to wipe. However, today noticed my phone wasnt able to make or recieve phone calls as even that side of things were force closing when dialing etc. So, I've had to wipe. Anyone else experienced this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
excellent rom indeed but after 24 hours of no reeboot it does tend to lag a bit but after a few seconds of using it its back to normal...reminds me of the turbo lag that some cars have.

same for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cymru:
I find it just unusable. Everything runs slow, contacts are all copied 3 times, when texting i cant write someones name in the 'To' field and select the number from the list that usually pops up, texts often take an hour to arrive after being sent...

Just some of many annoyances im having with the ROM. Going back to 1.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I don't get any of that cymru, and I've not seen anyone else report those problems either.

The ROM certainly isn't duplicating contacts or delaying your texts!

Is there a way to disable ramzswap (compcache) cause it is too slow with that much amount of compressed ram. It takes too much time for me to decompress the compressed content. In my observations it is faster without compcache.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
I 2nd that!!!!!

i guess it is the 1.91 teknologist custom kernel causing that. try the 2.8 version ( and you'll see)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DeXa:
I don't think it's the kernel. I've been till now with 3.0 with the same kernel and no compcache. But in modaco's forum it says it is not advised to remove it that's why I'm asking. The question was for Paul to answer but ...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DeXa:
Something is wrong with this release (3.1) I don't know is it my device only but I've found out that all the apps use approx 30% more memory than 3.0. For example Clock uses 13,14MB, but in 3.0 it used 10,41, Mail uses 14,84MB in 3.0 it used 11,02, and so on the approx size in memory is 30% more. This is just after the phone boots so nothing is opened. That's why it is so slow for me, it uses all the avail. memory and ramzswap in just a few hours. MCR 3.0 after 2 days used just 3mb of ram in compcache (when it was enabled). So is this occuring only in my case, or it is a global event.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
I have been using the 3.1 version for a few days now and I'm not finding any problems at all? Maybe people experiencing drastic problems should wipe and try again?

2.8 is fast but 3.1 seems better in other areas I feel. The orientation switch for example feels so much quicker in 3.1...

I was experiencing slow downs on 3.0 but this hasn't happened so far on 3.1 and I haven't rebooted the phone in 2/3 days now!

What's the issue with bluetooth? If you mean it doesn't support OBEX etc, that isn't a problem - it is a limitation of Android 1.5.

Dear All,

I am using MCR 3.1 and started to use google contact lately. Does anyone have problem to create google contact from your phone? There is no option to choose Google Contact Type when you create new one. I only see Phone and SIM as choices? Also, I am not able to sync from Hero (Settings-Data Synchronization-Google).

Please help.

if you are coming from mcr 1.2 onwards, you shouldn't need to wipe.

maybe try restoring the nandroid backup and flash again?

personally i hate wiping, too much settings and apps to restore afterwards. :p

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
on your pc, just unzip the file (update-hero-3.X -signed.zip), then go to data ,then app, and you'll find all the apps there including the 4 new htc apps.

just copy the location , plug in your phone ,

and then

from your terminal just

adb remount

adb install (app location)

All this assuming you intend to install the apps in another rom on the phone.

hehehe. just kidding man. :D:D:D

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mackem1966:
All this assuming you intend to install the apps in another rom on the phone.

Ahhh...Im guessing these apps arent meant for android 1.5 ? :confused:

Would not install so are these apps for android 2.0 and above ? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
i dont know if these applications were made particularly for android 1.5 but i know that you would not be able to install them from the market unless you had a stock rom (the generic original htc rom). If you have modaco,or any other custom rom, your install would just fail.

i have successfully installed it on mcr2.8. everything was fine.

are you sure you did it correctly? try placing the apk in your sd and install it with an app installer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mackem1966:
Hi Deeren thanks for your kind help :)

I have modaco 3.1 on my uk hero and i put the dice apk in the root of my sd card and used the package installer to install but it just failed :(

Should i try using the apk installer via htc sync ?

Just to say i couldnt try doing it the way you mentioned earlier via adb as ive no idea what that is even tho ive read about it many times on here....always presumed i needed a pc for it and only got a computer 2 weeks ago.

if you are using the mcr 3.1, then the 4 new widgets are already installed.

to use them u cant access them through th menu window or through file explorers....

all u have to do is a long press on an empty space on the screen untill a new windows with options appears. select HTC widget, and there u will see the 4 new widget. u can choose what u want accordingly there

Has anybody else encountered problems with memory card mounting with this ROM?

Was working fine on 3.0 but now when I try to mount the card I get "preparing SD card" and nothing happens. If I go to USB connected from the pull down it prompts me to mount again.

I've formatted the card into FAT32 only from the recovery console and also Windows but the same thing happens.

I can access the card normally in windows by the way and applications are installing to the EXT3 partition fine.

I did a full wipe of the phone going from 3.0-3.1

Hi again thanks again for your help Deeren.

When i read the 3.1 rom contents i thought the new widgets were included but like you said couldnt find them through normal means.

Ive tried the long press on an empty space and then i have the ....shortcut/htc widget/android widget/folder screen....i press then on "htc widget" and it lists the exact same widgets ive had in previous roms ie starting with bookmarks and ending with weather.....no sight of any new widgets :eek:

for app2sd to work , you have to format your sd card into an EXT3 or EXT4 partition.

Ahhhhh Yesss you can.... THanks so much hopfully it works now :) I've deleted everything on my phone multiple times trying to get this to work lolol :(... is the apps2sd program suppose to move the apps to the sd card, and show that its not taking internal memory space?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] screwhead89:
Hi,

I had flashed the Modaco 3.0 onto my Hero a few weeks ago and i'm unsure if the Apps2SD is working.

I have an 8GB SD... formated about 7.5gb to FAT32 and the rest to ext3 using GParted CD. I have about 30 apps installed. Internal phone storage is showing as "66 MB Available Space". Now I'm unsure if its working because when using a File Manager and going into "root/system/sd" nothing is showing.

Do I have to do something else? Maybe install the Apps2SD app because its not showing into the program list?

Thanks to those that will try to help or clear it out! :)
