Er, they're not supposed to disappear until you do something with them?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
Mine to, when i get a message and click the notification thing to read it, the notification is still there after i have read the message :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qvert:
for me everything works fine with the notification icons
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erikwt:
They dont disappear when I do something with them eighter ;) Like clicking on a SMS notification, it opens the message and then it should disappear, but it doesn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chaoscentral:
are you using another notification program like ChompSMS or Handscent SMS? Try turning off the default notifications if you are because two of them will show up but only one will go away when you check the message.

Just my two cents, similar thing was happening to me before I realized the notifications from the default SMS program were on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chanochm:
experiancing the notification problem also on 2.6.

i dont use any other notification program.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiyobi:
+1 here. despite having read text messages or email, notifications stay on and have to be cleared manually. not using any 3rd party messaging or notification programs as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
I have been using 2.6 for a few days now. I'm not experiencing the notification problem or the battery running down quicker? I guess I must be lucky.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erikwt:
Hm no, and the problem is not limited to SMS notifications, also mail, downloads, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaji007:
omg!!!

wheres the plurk app gone on the new update?!!!

is there a way of putting it in im a heavy plurk user :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taz5176:
ya, i experience the notification problem as well, won't go away until i clear it.

this is my first modaco rom, just rooted my phone, when the phone boots up, there's no sound in the splash screen, the little green android waving no sound & htc wording no sound as well, is it normal? or is the problem due to the recovery image?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
Just pull it from a previous version and install with Linda File Manager.

You can also put the apk on you're sdcard and use "Root Explorer" to copy and paste the Plurk.apk to system/app

problem saving e-mail adresses

I am using exchange to sync my mail and contacts. In the mail widget and in the mail program itself I don't see the contactpictures, when I save the e-mailadres from a received mail I miss the first character of the adres. When I save this wrong adres to my contacts the contactpicture appearance in my widget.

Is it possible to fix this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taz5176:
i be experiencing weird problems with 2.6, not sure is user (me, hehhehe) problem

1. unable to use camcorder, just jump back to main screen when i start video taking. after using couple of days of the phone, problem goes away, can take vid

2. notification as reported by some others as well, won't go away until i clear it in notification bar. but today, everything back to normal

seems like my problems encounter with 2.6 goes away as time pass by
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] risterdid:
hey paul,

so when do you think you'll upload the 2.7? is there such thing as changing the phonepad colorways?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leechoonhwee:
CIME

I think CIME is not working in 2.6...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lord Lucan:
Battery consumption is good...

.... with v 2.51 than v2 I had for few weeks. I think ( I could be wrong) that data connection goes idle when I use Sipdroid (always connected) and Skype (connected most hours). V2 was connecting to data server like a magnet resulting in excessive battery usage even when screen slept.

Does anybody have any more suggestions on comparisons between different versions?

Regards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NikosA:
Since the custom ROM 2.6, I can't use andnav2 anymore. It breaks (force-closed) all the time just after launching it.

Anyone else with the same problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lord Lucan:
Why not ask andnav to see if there is an updated software for updated OS?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZenorGR:
There was an update for andnav2 but it doesn't fix the issue.

I am also having this problem on 2.5.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] uradox:
I've been having some strange issues since upgrading to 2.6 as well.

For example:

Update to 2.6 and everything is fine. I download from the market and update without any worries.

I switch on WiFi then and suddenly market won't download anything. Just sticks on Starting Download all the time. It's happy to browse the market though.

Turning off wifi and switching between 2g and 3g doesnt fix it, the phone seems to be perminatly stuck and will not download anything from market again.

The only way I managed to get it working again was use my nandroid backup to 2.5.1 again.

I can replicate this behavior each fresh install after I enable Wifi. As long as I don't turn it on the phone will continue to work just fine. What could possibly be causing this?

There's also a small issue of 2 or 3 apps that no longer list as Installed according to my downloads in market. Yet, they are clearly installed. Again, dropping back to 2.5.1 solves that as well :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Version 2.7 is now online in the first post!

Changelog

- Updated WaveSecure, moved to add on pack

- New Boot sounds restore add on pack

- Dropbear SSH running by default, check 'About' screen for password (port 2222)

- Add Notes app from Dragon to core

- Add Swapper to core

- Add WiFi Status to core

- Added Voice Search to core with libspeech library

As you can see, this addresses a lot of requests. If you are a WaveSecure user, remember to install the WaveSecure pack now to remain protected.

Enjoy! :)

Woohoo

Thanks Paul,

Downloading now. I'll let you know how I get on with the new ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
All good so far

Hi Paul,

Everything is looking good and working well so far. Seems a little snappier too, whether that's just me imagining things, I don't know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itsruddy:
Can we simply uninstall Swapper if we do not want to use it? Or is it an integral part of the ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
just installed and all seems fine, but, when the phone starts up, and i unlock it for use, i get a blank "window" saying "SU Request" at the title... nothing in the window

what does this mean...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Archatos:
LOL

I found that out 'by accident' ;) I was busy downloading, needed to re-open my browser and found out it was updated. So I could start downloading again. ;) Anyway, It looks good, thanks! :D

But there's one thing... I can't find the Plurk client. It's an application, isn't it? (I did install the Enhanced pack)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZenorGR:
Just upgraded from 2.5.1

Seems faster, great work Paul.

Still testing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonnybops:
Does anyone else have the same fast draining battery problem that i also had with 2.6? 2.7 doesnt seem to have fixed this issue for me. I got 3.5 hours fully charged to flat on 2.6 and over 16 hours on 2.5.1. Any ideas what could be causing this problem for some of us?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZenorGR:
That would be for the Swapper application, I suppose.

I also got it when I booted the phone, but I was able to click allow button so the window disappears.

Did you try to reboot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
yeah... tried rebooting, but still the same :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Isn't that what happens if you're trying to run anything that uses root and have not set the phone to debug-mode?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
that was it, enabled usb debuging mode, restarted and i got to select "always allow" thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dtopler:
WaveSecure won't verify my number when I try to set it up. I get the verification SMS, but it just keeps on "waiting for verification SMS," and eventually cancels out. Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
yup i was going to ask the same question

i seriously don't need swapper

Errors after wiping and performing a fresh install

Hi Paul,

When I first installed the ROM I did an update without wiping, everything was OK. However, since then, I've re-installed after performing a wipe and I'm now getting a few errors popping up when starting up the handset.

On start up :-

"Social Network Error - Service is not available" (think this is somehow related to the HTC Twitter widget)

Refreshing the weather widget :-

"Sorry! The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Sense restarts after selecting 'Force Close'

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndiTails:
Have updated my mirror, as per usual - if that's of use to those of cannot download them from Paul's site (for whatever reason).

http://thei.tguy.co.uk/hero/

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
Sorted it. As the 2.7 ROM comes as a CORE version with additional add on packs, don't try to install them all in succession without doing a reboot. The above problems went away after I 'Wiped' again, installed the CORE ROM and restarted. I then installed each add on pack separately followed by a reboot after each one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
You're welcome, glad I could help! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Perfect, thanks, trying this now. I was stumped by the crashing social network service after a few complete wipes!

Another mirror -no chinese core- http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IYCBPNAC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Social networks now not crashing, am I safe to install the enhanced package? or will that make it crash again because of the Plurk addon?

Also, the other thing, I've noticed Facebook just continiously logs out (and loses its settings), even when I log in again it drops off within a couple of minutes. Is this something wrong with my facebook account?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
Yep, go ahead and install the enhanced package. Works perfectly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
hmm, I just noticed another issue, for me the Market is Force Closing instantly if I try to go into it, even after complete wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
It's working fine for me. Are you getting the force close when opening the market or when you're trying to download?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
I like the new voice search works quite well if you speak english :)

What I dont understand!

Why adding all these apps in the Core version (Note, Wifi Status (can't find app but it runs in the background...), Swapper)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jhericurls:
I'm currently using 2.51 and its working great, I take it 2.7 doesn't offer any performance improvements and there's not much point updating right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
Market works fine for me, but I cant search through my programms!

when I open the "All Programms list" and press the search button the voice search automaticly pops up and searches on google, please fix that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Market always crashing for me unfortunately.

Edit: when I enter the market.that is!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
3 posts on still no Plurk

This method didnt work for me, i paste it into the system/ app folder but it doesnt show as an installed app.

Someone suggested wiping the dalvik-cache and the ext 3, but that doesnt work either........

* The web browser is much faster on 2.7!

* andnav2 still force-closes (I tried pretty much all available installable pkgs)

* Can't get ASE (python scripts) to work. Failure message reports that it can't find ".../bin/python" which means that the ASE installer isntalls it somewhere else (?). Well, I didn't take the time to find out what exactly happens. Anybody already running python scripts?

Thanks, Nikos

however "adb devices" says under linux/ubuntu all the time No Devices found (or List of Devices: and then an empty list)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xda890:
You have to add an udev rule, like 50-android-rules containing:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0c02", SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0c01", SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"

(your user should then be added to the plugdev group..)

Then udev should recognize the device... :)

Hello

I have installed the rom ok but im not sure i have root acces, the reason i say this is because of the following,

When i load superuser permissions nothing happens (should any thing happen?)

When i try to use quickboot it crashes and forces me to close the program (altho Superuser permissions pops up first and i click allways allow)

When i try to use wifi tether, it all seems to start ok but i cant find it using the wifi on other phones?

EDIT: i think i was just being a noob and those programs dont work to well... I followed what this guy said and i got the # sign fine :)

'alternatively you can install ConnectBot on your phone which will start a console directly on the phone and you can type "su" and you should get a "#": as well.'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cdmackay:
try buying the cheap but useful programs: root booter & root explorer.

in particular, root booter will let you know for sure whether you have got root, and is a handy way of rebooting, into either the bootloader, recovery image, or main image, without fiddling key presses.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndiTails:
Hi all,

Great thread with lots of detail - have learnt a lot about my phone in the past couple of hours!

I solved a problem I had for the past couple of hours and thought I'd feed it back in case anyone else does the same.

I followed this guide http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/ to format my 8gb Class 6 SD card - exactly as he does in the guide - 7.something GB of FAT32, 512mb of ext2, and 32mb swap.

I also followed to the end, after upgrading to ext3 I also carried onto ext4 - as I heard lots of good things about its speed in Ubuntu 9.

Upon installing this ROM, on reboot, I would get stuck in a continuous reboot cycle: Android - HTC - black screen - Android - HTC, etc etc :)

I tried re-downloading the ROM, re-wiping, re-flashing, re-partitioning the card... All would end up with the same scenario.

So, I tried leaving the partition as ext3, and not upgrading to ext4.

Success!!!!

So - my tip is: Do NOT partition your card to ext4 from the start! It will not boot!

I hope that helps someone and saves them a lot of time!!

Now, could someone confirm, now the firmware is up and running - could I upgrade it to ext4 (which is considerably faster) safely? Has anyone else ext4'd + ran Swapper using this ROM yet?

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] justbabu:
I installed 1.1 custom ROM, however, I have gone back to the stock ROM since I could not get paid apps to appear in the market.

Previous paid for apps such as Power Manager and Root Explorer force closed each time upon boot.

Reverting back to stock ROM has got rid of this issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lcw622:
after upgraded this rom... everything runs smooth and fine...

**BUT** during phone call... people say that it's hard to hear what i am saying..

so I have to talk very loud..... in order for them to be able to hear....

so I just restore my backup ... and they said it solved...

I am not sure if it's the ROM's problem.. just want to see if anybody else got into this...

again...many thanks for making the ROM for us

Hi,

I installed a custom ROM for the first time on a german G2 Touch. I used modaco 2.7 and the current radio. With absolutely no usage from my side, it's just powered on with display in stand by, my battery life is just about 10 hours.

I wiped the Hero before upgrading it. Do you have any ideas? Maybe the problem is the always running dropbear ssh-server? How can I deactivate it?

Additional question: Where can I find the custom added apps like Wifitethering? I'm using the core version, but it seems like there is no icon anywhere.

thx

Would the future rom (2.8's hebrew fonts) means a newer/bigger DeJaVuSansFallback.ttf ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
Hi Paul,

If you upgrade to the new ROM without a wipe and then install the enhancement pack, Plurk installs.

However, if you perform a compeletely fresh install after a wipe, Plurk isn't present despite installing the enhancement pack. Seems like this is related to wiping and installing.

Hi!

I was just wondering about SD-card setup for this ROM (or in general)

The current card I'm running has only been moved from a WM-phone to my Hero. Will it automaticly work ok with A2SD?

If not, what steps are best to make? Format? Create swap-drive (how to?) etc

Thanks to all for contributing and making Android the best OS out there!

http://thei.tguy.co.uk/hero

:)

And just to confirm, its worked fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
no; because by default, windows mobile formats your card using fat32/16, which is the full capacity of the card. Apps2SD requires an ext3/2 partition in order to let you install/move the applications from rom to your SDcard; so in order to do so, the easiest way is to

1) copy all contents of your SDcard to your pc (to backup, this is important!)

2) use RA-Hero 1.2.3's recovery (instead of Cyanogen's Recovery) and do a card wipe and choose "format sdcard as ext2/swap/fat32"

then you're all set to use A2SD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
We might be running into a system-partition-full issue. I'll look into it.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
yep; romspace has about 10MB left for /system so I doubt u can stuff in a bigger DeJaVu fallback (which is already 4.5MB?)
