BT audio has been an issue since day 1. I'm not sure if it was ever working since I don't have a headset. Did it work previously?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trillside:
Testing 1.7x5 it seems that on mine the messaging app force closes anyone else having the issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
I guess it's been an issue for quite some time. Strange, though, as bluetooth is a pretty critical need for most of us. Do *none* of the Hero ROMs have functioning bluetooth support, or is it just with certain bluetooth devices?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
If your having trouble with the newer builds, give 2.8 a try. It runs fast out of the box. Just make sure you use swapper. A 128 MB swap size and 80 swappiness works well for me, then go to advanced preferences and check "use swap partition". This ROM requires fat\ext\swap setup. Alternatively you could also set your swap and other settings by modifying your user.conf file the same way you probably have been with the newer builds.

It is the best Hero Rom in my (insignificant) opinion. Good luck!

Hey eVil (or anyone with an answer I guess),

after I run adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh I get this ->

C:\Documents and Settings\XPMUser>adb remount

remount succeeded

C:\Documents and Settings\XPMUser>adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh

/compcache/xvmalloc.ko not found

use /system/sd/compcache/xvmalloc.ko instead

/system/sd/compcache/xvmalloc.ko not found

ERROR!!! unable to find compcache modules.

C:\Documents and Settings\XPMUser>

Any Ideas? (I'm using 2.8)

alarm clock fc

i cant figure out which app when removed causes the alarm clock to fc...i remove calendar calc jbed globalclock (possibly the culprit?) im thinking either globalclock or calendar are the main suspects here any insight would be greatly appreciated because if i dont use the app i dont want it and i would like to remove as much as possible without having these issues (thats the only one i have) other than that 2.9.8 is great

"edit" figured it was actually the removal of alarm sounds themselves which doesnt make much sense to me but oh well
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.8 did not have the correct modules.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
is your People Search is working? Or it gives you FC (Force Close) ?

Did you appy the user.conf and userinit.sh too (that uploaded by Reginzone OR Evil D:'s User.Conf)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.9.8.1..... another kernel.... it is stable though, but no compcache or wlan.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
dude you are fast!

but no WLan? Dayyuumm!? Any way to push the WLAN Fix in to it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Best bet.

Guys, if I may:

Just be patient, wait for Evil to get around providing follow-up repairs or advancements from everything that's going on right now. Perhaps even wait before flashing, until say...v2.9.8.5, or even v2.9.9! I'm going to hold off until the legacy that is v3.0 has been released. Then again, I'm still running on my favorite build of his ---> v2.9.5 (prior to the Blur animations) :D

Happy Flashing folks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
@Evil, check your e-mail man, I sent "the goods".

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
Hey Reignzone,

Did that 2.9.5 have all the issues sorted out? Or you are facing the FC on People Search? If no then how did you solve it? Any hints/tips for us?

Thanks,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
v2.7 (remix edition) solves FC.

If you're desperate to fix the FC within the People Search, I know that v2.7 (remix) does not have that problem. As I said a few pages back...every Modaco build I've used has NEVER force closed, anything for me. Seriously...I heavily support Paul's ROM builds, but his are known for stability, not being feature rich, or advanced in any way.

Check Evil's change log to find the ROM that is based on the Modaco build, and you're set. It should not force close in the People Search, or anything for that matter. Lol.

I still love you Evil.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WMO_Magic:
Hi there all, i wanted to say that i really like your builds Evil but since version 2.9.x i only have problems and random reboots. No matter what i do or how many times i format, wipe and flash they are all giving me random reboots.

Am i missing something here or is my phone just annoying me ;-)

Am running Hero3G UNI Blueberry now and just wanted to say that this is the fastest i've come across. Only pushed my own user settings and man is it flying.

Maybe there are some things that can be "borrowed" to make yours even faster??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
People search works fine on 2.8. I applied Reginzone's user.conf and userinit.sh, although as eVil pointed out a few post ago, there is no compache with this build, just LS. That's fine with me because it's still fast as hell.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Hadn't flashed this Rom since 2.9.5 but today I decided to flash 2.9.8.1 and WOW, let me say, it is blazing fast since you added Drizzy's stuff. No issues yet. This is good **** and I haven't even had to use swapper or setcpu yet. This is exačtly how a hero Rom should run. Thanks evil
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Evil or anyone else...

What command would I use (in adn) to delete some of the APKs? I wanna get rid of Plurk and few others. ..thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
I believe you can use your menu.:D

menu button->settings->applications->Manage applications.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Nah I already tried that...it wont let me delete APKs that were installed with the ROM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
Ooops. I'm sorry. But I believe some of apps with rom could be deleted.

But then, you can use adb.

robotician@superMac:~$ adb remount
robotician@superMac:~$ adb shell rm /data/app_s/HtcPlurk.apk
robotician@superMac:~$ adb shell rm com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk

Good luck!

only two issues: wifi and the "process.acore" in the contacts search.

Thanks again Evil.

WiFi? What's going on?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
just flash 2.9.8.2, everything is well except the mic volume is too low for others to hear.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] warriorofice:
Sorry, i was testing 2.9.8.1

in the 2.9.8.2 version the wifi runs ok.

This rom is very fast (but not more than 2.9.8.1) and android.process.acore still happend when i search any contact

it will posible the 2.9.8.1 version with wifi and contacts ok?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Foo, there is a significant difference between Hero ROM's and donut/cupcake ROM's.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
...........
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Are you seriously comparing a Hero ROM to a Cyanogen? That's comparing apples and oranges. Cyanogen ROMs are optimized stock android ROMs built for one thing, speed. A Cyanogen ROM will beat any Hero ROM in a foot race any day. Hell, the major complaint of the HTC Hero from tech blogs was that the Sense UI was to slow on the device it was actually intended for. What eVil and the other Hero ROM cookers have done is take a device with half of the RAM as an actual Hero, and got the Sense UI to actually run just as good and in many instances better than it running on the Hero itself. That's pretty incredible if you ask me.

It's really not fair to compare this to a Cyanogen ROM. If all you want is speed then make the switch. Me personally, I think stock Android is pretty bland, and I am willing to sacrifice a little speed for the beautiful Sense UI. But as I and many others have said in the past, with a little tweaking you can get these ROMs running very fast. It sounds like to me that your ROM isn't configured optimally.

Oh, and just because your buddy is a Linux admin doesn't mean he is familiar with setting up these devices. Linux experience can help I'm sure, but its definitely not required. I have almost no Linux experience and my phone flies.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
why would i compare apples to oranges, i assumed u guys were intelligent enough to know i was talking just hero roms. if i wanted something original why would i have even rooted my phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Well, Foo, I am not aware of any cyanogen HERO ROM's, if there is one, I'd love to see it because cyanogen is awesome.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Are you sure it just wasn't a bad connection?

Anyone else?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Currently with ANY jac/ski kernel, searching contacts is broken.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Come on fellas...

I've been saying these things that Evil is reposting to your complaints for a few days now. Don't bother him with such "insignificant" issues.

If Searching your contacts with use of the "search bar" is that important to you, flash a Modaco ROM, or perhaps any other Hero build that is using a Cyanogen-sourced kernel. As I said, the 2.7 versions of Evil's builds did NOT force close this search for me...EVER! I've tried both the "original" and "remix" versions of that build.

If you experience a force close on that series; trust me, you've done something incorrectly between the time of the "new flash" and booting process.

Evil, if I might ask...is this "new" HTC_IME you used the one I sent you, or have you yet to try that out? :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
sorry, my friend is an idiot and it was qteks hero rom not cyanogen
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
..............................
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Reignzone, I pushed that one previously and I kept getting input FC's, I believe that was from a different build. Are you using it somehow?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
I'm pretty sure because while mic on speaker phone works quite well and loud, but then I turned off the speaker... regular mic volume is low. This is the only issue I'm experiencing with your ROM as well as JacHeroSki 2.2r4 remix. Maxisma's drizzy rom doesn't have this issue. Is it something to do with the kernal? I'm no developer, it is just my guess.

Update: Nevermind, I found the low mic volume fix here! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4374647#post4374647 Credit goes to spyz88 for posting it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
evil, please explain why non of the a2sd versions work but the normal versions do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Do you format your ext?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
I was having same problem with all App2SD too. I installed 2.9.8.2 App2SD with ext formated, then I was being bombed with whole bunch of force close error messages that caused the device completely froze. I gave up on App2SD version and use normal one instead. Another question, do I need to use swapper for 2.9.8.2?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I will investigate further. And no, you do not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
@Evil:

I'm yet to try the HTC_IME that was sent to you. I just pulled it from Cyanogen's latest build. Prior to him removing the HTC framework from the most recent "beta" version of 4.1.99! So, if there were force close issues, I'm not entirely sure what might have brought those on. My apologies. Anyway; I haven't had the chance to flash any of your new builds yet, but I'll get around to checking this progression eventually. :rolleyes:

If you've already managed to optimize, without removing "key components" (no pun intended) from the HTC_IME, then don't bother with Cyanogen's version. If the one you have is working well, or at least "better" than before, it's an improvement. :D

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Yeah, I think it works pretty well now, although some input by others would be nice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:

Hey eVil,

What flavor of BFS have you rolled into 2.9.8.2?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rugbyosu15:
Bluetooth A2DP

Hi,

I am currently using ROM eViL_HeRo_v2.9.8a_A2SD. I am really enjoying the rom thanks for your hard work! Has anyone had any success listening to music via a bluetooth headset? I can pair with my jabra headset and it will control everything (start and stop music) as it should. No sound is coming from it though.

Suggestions?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Ok so BEFORE I flash this.. How do I know which version to use? A2SD or the other?

I used the recovery image to "move the apps and cache to the sd", but it didn't seem to do anything. What else do I need to do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
A2SD is formally referred to by the (a) that is next to the version by or in the download link.

As for the issues with Stereo Bluetooth, I'm quite certain that very few, if any builds are able to have this feature function properly. A2DP could possibly be repaired if the necessary documents are replaced in the "library" of available files within the system. I'm not entirely sure though, but I do know that this is a relatively popular subject in the forums.

The version of BFS that is utilized in Evil's latest should be the defaulted "#5" patch from JAC/ski's "BFS Repository", which is either BFS-211 or 230! Those are essentially the same in terms of stability, otherwise you won't notice any significant difference in performance.

Finally, it's good to see that SOMEONE has finally decided to "test" Loccy's Better Browser on this Hero ROM! WMO_Magic, if you could, please provide feedback on the performance within the system. Thanks. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WMO_Magic:
After using evil's rom for a few days now and using Loccy's Better Browser i can honestly say that everything is working superb!

The rom is fast and responsive (230 kernel) and loccy's browser is also fast and responsive and just easy to use. No problems at all!

So hope that is enough info, is just pushed the apk. Re-ran userinit.sh and et voila.

I also removed some programs, but that's just personal taste and just to make things nice and tidy.

Now all i want to do is try out some themes, widgets and other stuff :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
But, can both browsers be present? Would be nice if it were possible, like the WAP browser. Maybe loccy can look into that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Do you lose flash by replacing the browser with Loccy's?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I'm pretty sure that's a yes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
Hello Evil Dude,

Would you please upload the files on MegaUpload? Just curious, because whenever I try to download file from 4Shared. It didn't download them properly, they are just in kbs where as the rom you had it is around 95+MBs .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jaangunnar:
how does one get the stock browser back after installing Loccy's?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
Extract the default browser. apk from the Rom and push it back into ya phone.

Has the BT been fixed on any of these updates? Its been a while since I updated to the newer ROMS for fear of issues...All I want is my BT to work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
Okay, so after about a day of use, this is the most stable rom I have used. I am on the 2.9.8.2 non apps to sd version on my mytouch. I have gotten no HTC load screens or force closes whatsoever due to the rom. The only time I got loading screens was when I was experimenting with Swapper. I went on data heavy web pages in the browser and spent about 20 minutes in the market and no force closes, where I usually get all of them in the first place. App response is still kind of slow, but that's normal with all Hero ROMs. Boot up takes a few minutes, but I think that's because of the Odexes? The only negative thing I have to say is that it doesn't seem as snappy as some of your previous releases. My phone also froze twice last night when I try to wake up my phone when I have it plugged in but it has not happened since. The keyboard is still working great, literally the best keyboard I have used on both Hero and regular ROMs. Great work Evil. Hope this feedback helped at least a little bit. Can't wait for your next release.

Edit: Maybe if I install a BFS patch it'll increase performance? Let me know on your insights if I should attempt this, or leave it as it is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
Can someone share how does 2.9.8.2 compare to 2.9.8.1? I know 2.9.8.1 runs really fast, are there any reasons to upgrade from it to .2? I'm using .2 currently but I don't find the performance satisfying... yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Well, 2.9.8.2 has wifi, compcache and a less laggy keyboard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
Hey Evil,

As for placing it besides the normal browser, that is something i haven't tested. I will try to test that today at work :)

Will also install the latest of your rom's evil. 2.9.8.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Ok, I'm starting to think I must just be biased towards 2.8. I saw all of the positive comments on 2.9.8.2, so I gave it a shot. It definitely seems more stable than recent other versions, but not as quick as 2.8. This is especially true moving between pages of the home screen. Every single BFS patch newer than 230 seemed to fix the issue, but every single one of them caused the phone to crash after waking up. I even tried bumping Swappiness up to 80. Oh well, guess its back to good old 2.8 for me.

Maybe one of these days we can get a update based off the Modaco's ROM (or Kernel?) again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] youngwun200:
Feel free to be upset at me, but really im just looking for help, and because its such a broad issue i could not search.

BUT i am having HUGE delays with my device with almost everything i do.

You sure about wifi, because I'm running .1 with BFS230, wifi is working fine and faster. I haven't notice keyboard lagness. But anyway, I switched to .2 with BFS230, running fine except sometimes apps(especially browser) and dialer are lagging.

You'll use adb push

If you odexed, you will need to find and rm the odex.
