updated to 1.5 with no need to wipe from 1.4

one thing i'd like to ask is why do you still bother to add wifi thether since developpers wiki says doesn't work for hero.. or i didn't check news
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Golgo:
Wow, your one quick chef Paul! :)

Do has BT issue been resolved in 1.5?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
:p:p:p:p like i said i didn't check their wiki since days
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gaz31:
Excellent work Paul now zipping along with v1.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndiTails:
If it helps, I've updated my mirror:

www.thei.tguy.co.uk/hero/

You might get better speeds from there depending on where you live.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
1.5 online - too many improvements to mention! ;)

Let me know if it fixed BT issue...

Hi

Is anyone else having trouble with sms in threaded mode? If a start a new sms that sends fine however if I reply to a message when I press sent the application forces a close, this happens on 1.5 and latest radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
Whoa. 1.5 is truly unrecognisable. You are a prince, Paul.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yans:
can someone confirm that having rooted my hero and installing rom 1.4 or 1.5 it will be unlocked to other networks? thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] commodoor:
I'm using 1.5 right now and don't have the threaded message issue. i'm using chompsms.

And what is 1.5 great the speed just one word "WoW". and Paul do you ever rest yesterday i was using 1.2 and now 1.5 haha but your doing great job keep up the great job
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dayzee:
A new ROM will not usually UNLOCK your fone to other networks if it is locked by a provider. You need a seperate process (usually paid for!) to do that.

Paul its a cracking ROM - BT issue - My headphones were found and paired fine and played music fine but for a lot of hiss that wasn't there previously - not a biggie there, seems to work for me and its not playing music incorrectly or faster as other seem to have experienced.

Will check if its headphones or fone settings doing it...

Daisy xx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] C45hY:
I am using the standard sms application, does chompsms work as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] domi55:
Thanks so much for your great work Paul. I'm on 1.4.1 as for now. I will probably upgrade to 1.5 tomorrow. Or do you have planed a 1.6 (or 1.7?) version for tomorrow? :D

BTW: How can I check which modaco version i'm currently on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yans:
Thanks dayzee :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
THIS is really amazing! ... today morning 1.4 and now 1.5. Upgrades without wiping - runs really fast. awesome :D

Keep up the great work! Thank you very much Paul.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicelad_uk:
Had to wipe :(

Installed 1.5 from 1.41 and the new Rom straight after, got stuck on a boot screen.

Wiped and just flashing again now, hope this works! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicelad_uk:
Yay, we're back! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] soulehmoo:
Kudos on the slick Rom, million miles away from stock.

No problems upgraded straight from 141 no wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
Paul, will the official update be any faster or is this as fas as we're gonna get? (far from complaining about the speed of the 1.5;)) Just wondering if there will be any surprises. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nokmond:
Could someone check this is right before i proceed -

First i need to root my hero following modaco instructions.

Does this do a nandroid backup or is this another process?

Then install the custom rom.

Is it fairly straightforward or potentially disastrous for a noob like myself!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
So a heads up... not long from now we'll hopefully see a release or leak of the 2.x ship build, which will also include a much newer radio. I don't envisage doing a significantly changed version of my ROM until this happens - releases after 1.6 will be tidy ups / minor additions / minor fixes (I can slim it down for example and i'd like to fix the Debian support if I can).

I'll knock up a few guides on how to remove bits of the ROM you don't want, how to add languages etc. etc. I am still considering a ROM without virtually all the HTC stuff, restoring the default Android bits, but I don't as yet know exactly what's involved.

I'm also actively trying to source a releasable S-OFF bootloader so we can all splash our own bootscreens - sadly the S-OFF bootloaders I have currently cannot be publicly released (or privately, don't bother asking!)

Glad everyone is enjoying the updates, remember you can express your appreciation by upgrading your MoDaCo account. I might even put a 'wall of thanks' in a future build with your name on... ;)

Finally, my motivation for doing these ROMs is because I love my Hero and I want to make it as good as possible, simple as that - if someone as talented as, say, Cyanogen comes in and starts developing for the Hero, i'll likely return to a back seat. We'll see.

:)

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] josifbg:
Paul... You are the man!!! :))

For less than 24h i`ve flashed 1.4, 1.4.1 and now 1.5 :)

Brilliant Work!

The speed of the phone... oh my... :D

No issues so far ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
Trust me, if I could do it you can too.

The whole thing sounds very scary and confusing when you read about it, but when you get down to it you discover it's actually pretty simple :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
As part of the rooting you will be asked boot to the recovery image and do a backup (aka nandroid backup) from the recovery menu. In that same menu you will see something that says "update from zip file on sd card" or something similar. That is the menu option you would use to install the custom rom after you copy it to your SD card. (this is just a high level description)

Don't worry about bricking your phone. I haven't heard anybody do that to a Hero and even if you could you would have to try quite hard. If you follow the steps on any of the guides in the Hero forum the worst that could happen is you get an unexpected error message and have to start again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicelad_uk:
Paul,

Anyway of speeding up the "Press and hold" feature, it seems to be longer now than before so I'm having to hold longer to move things on the home page and for numbers on the keypad.

Or is it just me?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
Is video playback improved in this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
Thanks. You have done a great job. And even if other people start modding I'm sure you'll still be around doing great things. Cause once you start you can stop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] opallabtb:
You're my personal hero! If that is possible, it would be really great!

Thanks so much for your work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nokmond:
Thanks guys. I'll give it go using the video guide to rooting in the morning. Thanks to Paul & modaco as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Melmac:
Great Roms, thankyou

How long should I need to wait on the HTC screen to know that it hasnt worked?

Tying to upgrade from 1.2 - 1.5 without wiping 1st as you said that could be done now?

Any help welcome, i'm not using a2sd either

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _KaP_:
I've updated to 1.5 and WiFi is not working anymore :S

Does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LuffarJoh:
only three people with the same issue. Why is it only happening to us? contact sync and/or display name.

Edit: seems like 1.5 fixed the display name issue, but still problems with contact sync. more testing tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] koinnflak:
nice work.

can anyone with the LED and trackball and 3.5m-issues please post if this rom has fixed it or not?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khmerkid:

Thank you :)

Ok so the ROM is fast and nice but... i get a lot of apps closing... like i want to copy my smsm from sim to phone, when i do that the app gives me error and closes. Any ideas why ??

How to reflesh the new rom?

Hey, I am a noob on android and want to say hi all:).

Now my system is 1.76.405.6 146733.

so how about this version? i want to reflesh to the modaco 1.5. how should i do?

first I need root the phone. and then?

from my version to 1.5 need i do anything about the Latest radio? or spl? or something?

pls help me ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kharnt0x:
Michael,

Hi, welcome.

I would start by flashing the radio, then the 1.5 update.

You do not need to root the phone as the 1.5 update will do that for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
If you have waited for 10 minutes then its probably too long. It shouldn't be much longer than normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Golgo:
Can anyone else on 1.5 comment on the Bluetooth issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
No need to wipe. I didn't even need to reinstall any of my apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaffacake:
Did you re-install the unstable apps?

You should reboot your phone immediately after restoring data like SMS and call logs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yans:
I am running 1.5 and bluetooth has been fine, ie, connected to my car fine and i made a call... i dont use it for music and bluetooth headphones so cant comment on that side...

hope this helps..

loving 1.5 :) may actually make me sell the iPhone ?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yans:
i did do a wipe when i went from 1.4 to 1.5 and it kept my installed apps from the Market... does that sound right?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piotrekk:
Stereo audio works again (with the newest radio).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Just out of interest Paul can you ( or is it coming in the next HTC update ) get the bluetooth to function fully - ie sharing files and syncing etc. That would be brill:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nokmond:
Just to clear something up for me - do I need to root my untouched Tmob hero before i flash with 1.5 or will that root it for me? What about backing it up first? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veejayjameson:
Hi, just wondering is anyone experiencing a lack of gmail push??

ever since the day i changed the rom to 1.1, i have not recieved any emails on my phone since? Even if i go into the app and click refresh, it will not load anything after the 29th august...

help please...

made a nandroid backup but would love to get this rom working!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piotrekk:
No problems here, all emails arrive with a delay of ~10s.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
All seems to be working fine for me - Exchange + Gmail both working with push. Have you done a complete wipe and tried installing the ROM again?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
No root needed. just do a nandroid backup ( just in case.. as a precaution ) and flash the 1.5 rom. your devide will automatically get root with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
why are you still using 1.1????????? Gmail working here alright.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Winkelpaleis:
Bluetooth working fine in 1.5.

I use it in my car to make phone calls and listen to music.

update doesn't work

Hi,

I've tried to update to 1.5 (from orginal stock-rom). Update is going well, but after rebooting, system keeps on rebooting (?). bootprocess shows Hero, then HTC and then Hero--> HTC and so on.:(

Restored system with modaco recovery image, works like a charm :)

Anyone any ideas?

(system is rooted)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] superkayser:
You need to do a wipe before upgrading from stock-rom to 1.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
I have found this problem linked to a formatted SD card - once it's happened only thing to do seems to be a Nandroid restore. Hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] domi55:

thanks and sorry if offense is caused :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] WEiSLaND:
Boot in recovery mode and use option "repair ext".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] domi55:
Great news. Thanks Paul!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Can I also suggest that you add "AppManager" (free from the market) too. This allows you to backup and restore your unprotected apps to the SD card, which will make upgrading a little easier if you have to wipe. Of course, you'd need to install it on your device in order to back them up before you upgraded anyway, so it doesn't save much time, but I think it could be useful in future.

Regards,

Dave

Paul, was the dir /system/media/bootscreen left out intentionally?

Though it's good as there's also no sound at boot (disabled it anyway in the stock ROM) :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Just realised I completely removed the boot screens... I was only planning to remove the sounds! :D

I'll put them back in a future build ;)

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:
Hehe:D I can make an update.zip to add just those files (with disabled sounds or not).

Scared me a bit also, though, as I was just updating the radio, thought something went wrong:D

Clock with weather doenst work here with 1.51

any solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saquib:
Clock with weather working fine for me in 1.5.1. Time and weather is showing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Terranca:
First of all: thanks for the great ROM.

Second: is it possible to use a Dutch dictionairy but English menu's etc? This was possible in the original ROM by selecting 'English (Nederland)' in Settings -> Locale and then use 'Nederlands' as the Keyboard language in the Touch Input Settings. Now, however, I only see the option 'English'.

When locale is set to 'Dutch (Nederland)', the Dutch dictionairy works fine, although it still doesn't show up in the 'Keyboard language' menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I don't know of a way to enable verbose boot on Android...?

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lmart1n:

Only the clock displayed ... weather missing.

Changing language from german to english didnt helo as well.

Yeah the clock does'nt seem to want to work for me either, gonnma try a wipe and another install to try fix it.

MoDaCo for 32B MT3G?

I tried not knowing this was designed for Dream and did not load obviously.

Do you have a 32B US T-mobile MyTouch 3G version. I'm presently running the 1-click root and Qtech rom but get fuzzy screen on screen dim and it is a little slow even on an 8Gig class 4 card.

Any advice would be great!
