I am comming from a german board, where I can not get an answer to my question.

First sorry for my english :mad:

Made the apps to sd procedere but I'm not sure if it really works.

The memory of my device is still the same and when I install apps to my hero, the memory of my device get reduced.

Here is what I can see with the adb command:

C:\android-sdk_r04-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

# ls -al /data

ls -al /data

Can someone tell me, if everything is correct.

If yes, why do my device memory not rise up ??? And why reduced the memory (internal) when I install apps ???

Thanks for any help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aguiamaster:
hey guys , i am currently using the 3.0 , but i see alot of persons using 2.9 , is it better ? where i can download 2.9 version ? thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] commodoor:
I also use seesmic with modaco 3.0 and don't have that issue did you try to clear the cache? did you do a wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aguiamaster:
hey , the 3.0 have the A2SD allready SETUP by default ? or do we need to make any particion , changes etc ?

ps: i notice if you DO A WIPE AFTER install 3.0 the google maps just disapers , any idea why ? lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] WarChild86:
I installed the 3.0 core download on my Hero, and now i lost the chinese handwriting capability on my phone...anyway i can get that back as well as keep the custom rom running??

Do i need to install the 'Enhanced' add on pack??

Help please. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:
maps disappears cause its in data/app not system/app is my guess, cause apps not in system do that when you wipe. but why wipe after? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aguiamaster:
someone please EXPLAIN ME how AP2SD WORKS ? please
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Confused

I thought this was supposed to be Android 2.1 ROM, it's no different to the updated ROM supplied by Orange a few months ago.

Firmware Version is 1.5

Kernel 2.6.27 - mck-technologist-1.9

Build Number ModacCo Custom ROM 3.0 Core

I appreciate that time has been spent on it but what does this ROM give me that the others don't?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hotvico:
Market and missing apps

I have been developing Android apps recently and I found out WHAT apps can't be seen from the market with our beloved MCR. It's the apps who come as "protected" when you browse them with, say, Appmanager. There is an option for developers when we upload an app to choose to "protect it from being copied". Well... When that is flagged, the APP in question cannot be seen from MCR. I am pretty sure of what I am saying. Yet, I am not the man who can fix this... I hope Paul is :-)

Happy 2010 everybody
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inertiax3:
You should read the features/changelog to find out what has been added/removed/changed.. it's on the first page
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keiths098:
i left my hero untouched with fully charged battery, then it drained out in a day, really disappointed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Check out spare part, find out what eaten up your battery juice. You can also get a bigger 3000mAH
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
My Apps2SD seems to have stopped working. I'm currently using Modaco 3.0, and the free space on my phone is down to 25meg.

I've had a look at my sd card using ADB, and it is partitioned as follows

Model: SD SU16G (sd/mmc)

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 15.9GB

Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

1 512B 15.4GB 15.4GB primary fat32 lba

2 15.4GB 15.9GB 512MB primary ext3

3 15.9GB 15.9GB 31.5MB primary linux-swap(v1)

(parted)

I'm using Modaco 3.0, but my apps don't seem to be moving to my sd card. I tested it using the following information and this confirms what I thought.

Do I need to partition again, or is the fault with Apps2SD??? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
the first post says it all. if you don't know what it means you need to read up. it is rooted, has adb remount enabled, has the custom kernel with netfilter, compcache, vpn & much more...

well, i don't want to rain on your parade, but we knew this. we also know the reason, mcr2.9 and 3.0 are based on a rom signed with testkeys, which aren't allowed to see protected apps in the market. btw that "protection" is not really good, works only on non-rooted phones.

would be nice if you could keep it to ONE thread. especially when the answer has been given there and several other times here and on modaco's forums.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I posted a limited Beta of MCR 3.1 featuring TCK 1.91 here - http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...m-limited-beta/

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] killerbyte:
modaco - will 3.1 still be based on Android 1.5? When can we expect to see you use 1.6 or 2.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
Sorry. No one seemed to be replying to the other thread, and I still don't have an answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
MCR 4.0 will be Android 2.1!

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
MCR 4.0 will be Android 2.1!

Can't wait, how long do you think it will take to get a stable ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
When is that dropping in?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Soon I hope! :D

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] killerbyte:
We do not expect 4.0 to be here next week and I applaud you for your efforts for your excellent mods. However I am eager to use apps that are only available for 1.6 and above.

I have tried other mods but none are as stable as yours and it seems that most dev do not like sense, I love sense by the way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
ok. ONE

LAST

TIME:

give us the output of

adb shell ls -l /data/app

and we will tell you whether your apps2sd is working or not. and goddamnit, use the search. i personally have given this answer numerous times, when other noobs were able to do it why aren't you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
I know my apps2sd isn't working. I'm trying to work out why, and how I can fix it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
ok, if you don't want me to help then i won't. i am about 99% sure that it IS working for you, and i am pretty sure i know why you believe it is not, but since you don't want to learn i won't force you. good luck finding the "solution" for your "problem"...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
I wasn't at my pc yesterday, so wasn't able to try this.

the output is:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jedijack:
That output should suggest it's working, what makes you think it isn't?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
I only have about 20mb of space left on my phone's internal memory. Compared to about 120mb when I first set up Apps2sd. The phone seems more sluggish now also.

What could be taking up all the space?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jedijack:
Check the output of adb shell ls -l /system/sd/app

See if any of your installed apps are present. If APP2SD is working correctly you should only see the standard apps that come with the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
It lists all my installed apps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
Installed your rom , but at 1st boot it doesn´t boot!

freezes on htc logo :(

EDIT : After a few minutes , it stoped to freeze on htc logo and restart every time :eek:

EDIT 2 : Fixed :D

hey guys , at htc clock widget , doesn´t have my city! what can i do ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marvi0:
this might help

Ok mate I was kinda having the same issue as you and everyone kept saying apps2d was working yet my memory kept shrinking so I went into reboot mode or recovery not sure which is by pressing the power of and home button together till you are presented with a green screen mow what I then did was I selected the option to wipe data/ restore settings and them I reboot and guess what my memory had increased and all my apps were still on the phone and all I had to do was redo the settings of the phone as they had been changed to factory settings so this is what I have been doing for myself every time that I have installed a lot of apps but makesure yor apps2d is working first and by the look of it it appeare@ as if it is and its the same issue I had till I did what I did. Just to add I take no responsibility here I simply just shared what worked for me and just back up your phone first before trying out what I did
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
which is the last and ultimate proof that it is working for you. if you still don't believe it put your sdcard in a reader and put that in a pc that reads ext filesystems (e.g. ubuntu), you will be presented with your apps.

the internal space is taken mostly by dalvik-cache, clear it in recovery and you might get a few mb back. since you can't be bothered to search you have to believe me from here on, there are more detailed explanations here and on modaco's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
But this contradicts what jedijack said!

The space is shrinking everyday, and the phone is getting more sluggish, and things like the clock have stopped updating and other apps stop responding without a restart.

I'll try wiping as marvi0 suggests...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
were can i found the 2.8 mdc rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
care to elaborate why? as far as i can see it jedijack and i were d'accord here...

then you probably have other problems. you still haven't told us why you think you'r apps2sd is not working.

the phone memory is not only used by apps, you know. there are settings, emails, messages, caches and so on.

do whatever you like, a wipe will help at least temporarily. don't forget to wipe the ext partition too, in case there is a problem with an installed app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Pleeeeaaaasssseeeeee

Sausageman is doing my head in, can we just get back to everyone providing constructive feedback without it turning into the let's all fix Sauasagemans phone for him as he is not willing to take good advice of recognised members of the forum! ! ! !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
Thanks!

This worked perfectly!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marvi0:
cool

am glad this worked for you matey, the only bother is having to re adjust the settings but am sure this is minor, compared to what can then be achieved.

Hi MoDaCo , is there anYway to use OBEX on your 3.1 rom ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dnetzone:
downloading noww
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
would be a dream works in 1.5 with Sense.

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
Yes , it´d .

Hey modaco , why android doesn´t have OBEX Support ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
Thanks MoDaCo...

I had your 2.8ROM when I bought my Hero (in India)

After that when I checked on forum I had found 3.0

Now I am updating it to 3.1..

I had never seen RUU.

Thanks and keep up the good work... :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Because the Linux kernel shipped with Android 1.5 doesn't have the functionality to support many of the OBEX calls as envisaged by Android 1.6 and higher (the hardware support layer of the kernel Android 1.5 is built on isn't capable of supporting full OBEX).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avimak:
Thanks!

I can't find the HTC widgets, using 3.1 ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Actually for the most part it is Android, rather than the Linux kernel (see here). Bluetooth APIs for Android are still very much a work in progress for Google.

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lord Lucan:
Excellent ROM. Highly appriciated. Many thanks.

3.1 ROM Availablity

Is the 3.1 only for premium members or can anyone use it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
It´s for all! Premium users and poor users!

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Kind of. :D The bluetooth protocol layer for linux is based on BlueZ. This got an architecture overhaul from BlueZ 3 to 4 and BlueZ provides the RFCOMM part required for the higher level OBEX stuff. The incompatible changes between 3 and 4 are noted here - in passing here. So for the OBEX implementation, Google has the choice of building either for BlueZ 3 or 4 and have the kernel appropriately have the correct BlueZ version. Notably, the transfer service was built as part of the Google Summer of Code for bluez 4. :)

The BlueZ Linux Bluetooth protocol stack is described as consisting of:

* Bluetooth kernel subsystem core

* L2CAP and SCO audio kernel layers

* RFCOMM, BNEP, CMTP and HIDP kernel implementations

* HCI UART, USB, PCMCIA and virtual device drivers

* General Bluetooth and SDP libraries and daemons

* Configuration and testing utilities

* Protocol decoding and analysis tools

You can see there are quite a few dependencies by the time you get to the OBEX layer and the Android Bluetooth FAQ does mention needing to move to BlueZ 4 from 3.36 at some point. As I remember, OBEX had to changed for the BlueZ 4 shift, back when I was playing with Bluetooth transfers between laptops and phones but that was over a year ago now so I'm a bit hazy. :) I think I found the OBEX stuff seemed to be a bit flaky under BlueZ 3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] benlc:
Already brievly tried it a few days ago (I guess it was RC1 or RC2).

Now I have it on my phone I love it more than ever, I guess one more thanks is not too much.

For those who don't find the widgets, it's already in the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
3.1 up and running

Nandroid back up done.

Wiped device done.

Installed 3.1 done

Everything working lovely, took about 10 minutes to boot, 5 minutes to get my set up done, just imported all my contact from Google, no issues.

All HTC widgets work fine

WIFI is fine

Network fine

Music works fine

Very impressed with the guys over at MoDaCo, especially Paul who obviously knows what he is doing, well done, keep up the good work.

Anyone got an issue with Google maps in the 3.1 ROM?

Mine just FC all the time, even after reboot and killing all tasks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thomas.linders:
Try reinstalling the application, this should work.

Does anyone know what the system name for Titanium backup and the HTC Widgets is so i can delete them?

Thx/Gustaf

anyone know how can i get the people widget work???

every time i click on one of the people its a forced closed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G8D:
Only issues I can find with this ROM is that sometimes when I try to mount my SD card it goes into an endless loop of force closes including HTC Sense and system..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duanes:
Did you update from the market?

If you did it explains te F/C
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
What about the battery use of the rom ? Do it eat more battery when the stock rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
It doesn't seem to but YMMV. I'm down to 31% after 2 days, 6 hours. Previous MCR's I'd get 2 days, stretching to 3 days for the latest ones - 3.x.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RUBBLEDOUBLE:
Thanks for the ROM.

I removed everything I didnt want from system/app and data/app using adbwin and rm command.

:)

Its so fast now Id say its perfect!

Ive used the other ROM's with 2.1 and to be honest they dont offer much more. This is currently the best ROM available :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gustaf87:
You know the command for removing titanium backup and the battery/dice widget from htc?

Problem with 3.1

Hi Paul!!

I had 3.0 earilier, yesterday I had downloaded and installed 3.1. However I have problem with this ROM. The sence (HTC) does not work, it gives error

Upon 1st start (after setting steps of mail account) I get this error,

Sorry!

The application HTC Setup

Wizard (process com.htc.

android.htcsetupwizard) has

stopped unexpectedly. Please

try again.

"Force close"

After clicking this button,

Sorry!

The application Clock (process

com.htc.android.worldclock)

has stopped unexpectedly.

Please try again.

"Force close"

After this it comes to boot screen (I think it is very old G1 screen with blue sea)

At this point if I try and go to "Menu>Settings>Personalize>Scenes" it gives this error.

Sorry!

The application Settings

(process com.android.settings)

has stopped unexpectedly.

Please try again.

"Force close"

I had tried again and again, but no luck. But when I downgrade this to 3.0 it works perfectly. I had donloaded this core update again but no luck.

Please help.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] limkoksoon:
i suggest u wipe and flash again. or mayb u can try to wipe dalvik and ext2 first. then reboot and c how. if the problem still the same then wipe everything and flash again. good luck joes...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
Ohh... Yes..

I did wipe every time.

but no.......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
Thanks so much Paul for this amazing Rom. Using my Hero is now three times as much fun. It's never been this fast and I love the responsiveness of my little awesome phone. Keep up the fantastic work. I can't wait for a 2.1 modaco release!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Yes, I know of the move from BlueZ3 to 4 - the point is that Google could have implemented in BlueZ 3, but instead waited for BlueZ 4! If you really wanted to, you could take AOSP 1.5, and implement OBEX without making kernel changes. ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] my_space:
just upgraded from MCR2.6 to MCR3.1 and feels like goin from pentium 4 to core2duo! brilliant work from the modaco team!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adamg89:
For removing titanium, I just uninstalled via Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Titanium Backup>Uninstall. Try that, but I may as well add, I updated the app from the market before uninstalling. I did an update from 3.0 and the extra HTC Widgets are no where to be found, but I would assume you would be able to uninstall the same way.

Credit to the Modaco team for these roms!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Google Maps

No, once I had flashed the image and it booted up the first thing it did was FC google maps before sense had even started.

Everything works fine and I even stuck my copy of co pilot 8 on, it works fine.

If I reboot the phone, it just FC's google maps on start up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] limkoksoon:
well. i think u need to try adb pull the maps.apk out. then it should work fine :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dany_my:
someone have got the people widget worked?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
For me works fine!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
i did a complete wipe + wiped the ext3 partition and installed. EXCELLENT rom consumes lesser space(19/165) than modaco 3.0(52/165). works faster...found no flaws yet.

One question....

After 3.1 install, do we have to install "enhanced pack" and "bootsounds pack"?

Thanks....

No its optional...if you want the boot sound back then install it.
