@qvert

einfach das neue update einspielen. Brauchst kein Wipe machen wenn du von 1.5.1 kommst. Sprache bleibt erhalten - hat bei mir auch wunderbar geklappt ;)

@all

I have noticed a little Bug (?). The HTC message widget for sms wont go any further after the 2nd message. Scrolling between the first 2 messages is no problem. Only solution so far was to delete the widget and reapply it.. after that it is working fine so far. It is the 2nd time I had this problem ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hellejoep:
Dutch locale is not a problem flashed without wipe from Modaco v1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qvert:
thx @tofrost

for all non german speakers

you could just flash your rom, it will keep your language

why vfat?

Hi guys and girls,

I am looking forward to try this image on my new hero phone :)

However, I have a little question: do you need a vfat partition on the sdcard, that is, can the android applications read/write on the sdcard if it only has a swap and an ext3 partition?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
same here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jabbypants:
My other problem is i can't get chomp sms or handcent sms to work they both error when i launch them.

Bricked Hero?

A friend of mine yesterday wiped and flashed 1.5.1

Today he flashed 2.0 without wipe and afterwords he applyed the radio 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

after the restart the phone stays on HERO logo...

Non of the combinations home+power or back+power brings him to the recovery image for nandroid restore...

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndiTails:
Exactly. D/L Swapper, goto Advanced Settings, tick 'Use Partition', pick the partition, apply, and you're all done! :)

An extension on working RAM couldn't be a bad thing. It uses it very infrequently, so hopefully you'll never notice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piotrekk:
I've just partitiioned my sd card:

(parted) print
print
print
Model: SD 00000 (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8166MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 512B 7622MB 7622MB primary fat32 lba
2 7622MB 8134MB 512MB primary ext3
3 8134MB 8166MB 32.3MB primary linux-swap(v1)

Will my hero install all apps automatically to the ext3 partiton or do I have to enable something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndiTails:
Yes, any apps installed from now on will go into the ext3 partition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
is there any real difference in making the swap-partition bigger than 32MB?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piotrekk:
It seems to work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaffacake:
Yes, for ever 1MB bigger that you make it, you get 1MB more swap space :)

In honesty, it all depends on how many concurrent apps you want/need to run. It's very subjective.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Micheal.Wang:
hi, everyone. noob come again.:D

first thank Paul about the so quickly update.

I want to reflash MoDaCo's Rom.

I want to know if i should patition my SD card because of the app "a2sd"?

thank you very much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
if u dont make an ext3 partition the apps will be installed on the phones memory as before. If u have a ext3 partition and flash the new rom, A2SD will work itself, not noticeable, in the background and install all new apps straight to the SDcard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Micheal.Wang:
thank you very much.:p

but do you know how to partition sd card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Micheal.Wang:
have seen your latest radio.

can u teach me how to reflash it?

i am very appreciate that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
@Micheal.Wang

This worked perfectly for me!

and for the radio, just take the archive and rename it to update.zip. Put it on the root of your SD Card and boot the recovery image and apply the update... thats it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stripealipe:
How do i tell Swapper to use the Linux-Swap partition?!

It lists the Swap partition as being initially as /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

But this doesn't say where exactly what partition on my SD card this is going to.

Will it default to the Linux-Swap partition?

And when Swap Partition is activated, does this override the Swap Place setting, which seems to default to /sdcard/swapfile.swp

Help appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkz:
Anyone else getting a SMS timestamp issue? My outgoing time is right, but my incoming is off by 4 hours. I only first noticed it in 1.5 so not sure if it was in other versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Micheal.Wang:
o, thank you very much!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 that IS the Swap partition. When you activate the swap partiton it will override the swap place. Just click on "Get information" and you will see what swapper is actually using.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] opticalfiber:
hi guys,

can anybody tell me if this rom contains italian language?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiz:
Modaco, you are a legend.

Whilst I can't comment if it's actually solved any of the masses of bugs, it sure is snappy, wow! Everything is so quick. Seems like a huge improvement even on MCR 1.1.

Thanks again.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stripealipe:
Anyone else been using Swapper for a while and would like to comment on that?

I'm just wondering if it's worth keeping to see how i go, or whether it's kinda redundant now on this new ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
MODACO.

Can you Please provide me with the Tmobile Apn Settings you used in version 1.4. They do not seem to be there on 1.5 and i really need them as they seemed to be unique and even t-mobile fail to provide me with apns that worked properly. It is the only way i can send mms messages with the apn setting of 1.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
Just installed MRC 2.0e. All seems to be going well. Will see how it runs for a couple of days.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Brilliant, downloading now.

I think I may have to become a modaco subscriber as a thanks for this....

Plus I got apps to work on Sd card today too. Using paragon disk partition software meant I did not have to wipe my SD card (8Gb), I simply resized the fat32 partition and then created an ext2 and swap in the free space. Then I got to watch the amazing increase in my onboard memory :)

Keep up the good work. Looks like donut for far away too :)

Still breaking my HERO newness at the moment.

What will this 'NEW' rom offer over 1.5.1?

I'm REALLY impressed with what I have at the moment. I have 200 apps and this phone is SO quick! I haven't had one force close or bit of lag after 2 days of use, and I still have 158mb of internal space..... woohoo!

Will I need to wipe before I apply the update or can I just download and install. (don't really want to have to install all of my protected apps).

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] domi55:
Guys... Its maybe a noobish question. :D

I successfully followed the guide on androidandme.com.

I now have my ext3 partition. (Verified with adb shell -> parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 -> print)

But how can I check if the installed apps from the market now running from my sd card?

thanks for help.

Np probs putting 2.0 on without a wipe. THANKS

I Have aquired another Hero which is still as shipped, if I aply a nandroid backup of my current Hero will the new 1 be rooted and exactly the same as my current 1??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
On the surface of it not much seems to have changed. It is just as fast since 1.5.1 was a branch of the 2.73 ROM anyway (mentioned earlier in the thread).

You won't need to wipe for this install.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Winkelpaleis:
How do you enable more system Languages ... what is Custom Locales?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
Yes it should be the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
If you go and check your phone's memory (in the About section i think) you should see that there is a lot more available memory.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
I just installed 2.0e and it works fine except Chinese IME is not working. I can access the Touch Input Chinese settings but the Chinese IME keyboard never come out.

It seems to be a problem of the 2.73.405.5 update though. I tried installing the generic 2.73.405.5 ROM and manually installing the Chinese IME afterwards, but couldn't get it to work either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krisprince:
I installed 2.0e and have some problems:

1. clock 3 is not animated

2. camera doesn't work "The application Camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I had these problems with 1.5.1, but before I installed 2.0e I wiped old system.

Do you have any idea what is wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dragonflyFZX:
So finally flashed it! Great rom, blazing fast! Thanks modaco!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orchid666:
Any idea how much memory we should have? I have 145 MB. I'm not sure either if the apps are installing to ext3. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fleming222:
145 MB sounds like apps2sd is working. To confirm you can install an app from the market (check it's size beforehand) then check to see if your internal memory has reduced by the same amount as the size of the app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krisprince:
One more bug, Ringtone Trimmer doesn't work too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
it does ... but i like to keep the system language in english (i hate most of the translations which often are quite inaccurate) and still be able to benefit from german autocomplete / autocorrection.

i would be very grateful for that :D

MMS problem

Wondering if anyone as the same problem...

Latest radio... rom 2e..

Apn are found by network..

MMS not working ..

Thanks for your help.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orchid666:
Thanks for that. Seems to be working fine! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Just completed the radio and rom flash, however cant sign back into the market, just says that it "cant establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or the sim card may not be provisioned for data services. if it continues, call customer care."

Any ideas as to why or how to fix this?

Fixed it, needed to carry out a factory reset as i skipped the google account setup the 1st time i set the phone up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
The clock is not animated in the generic 2.73.405.5 HTC ROM either. I guess they remove the animation because it caused noticeable lag when moving between screen.

The camera app works perfectly for me, I am also using 2.0e.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Just a pointer but you can set up your google account after you have booted the phone, just go to;

menu

settings

data synchronisation

It will then ask what type of account and just put your Google stuff in....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] domi55:
Thanks! Here is my way to check if a2sd is working:

Check if the ext3 partition exists (please see androidandme.com for details):

# mount | grep mmcblk0p2
mount | grep mmcblk0p2
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered)

Compare available/used space on mmcblk0p2:

adb shell
# df
df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 98520 0 98520 0% /dev
tmpfs 4096 0 4096 0% /sqlite_stmt_journals
/dev/block/mtdblock3 174080 153460 20620 88% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock5 169728 27240 142488 16% /data
/dev/block/mtdblock4 133120 1160 131960 1% /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 468331 11767 431579 3% /system/sd

Now install an app from the market (as suggested by fleming222) and again run "df". Compare the available (or used) space on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 with the first "df".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stickyasglue:
clock update

anyway to make the clock do the little animation when it updates on your homescreen ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Not if you skip the initiall step of enering your account details when ypu first start the phone as i did

"This issue happens when you fail to setup a google account when you first switch on the phone.

In order to fix it you will need to reset the phone to factory default and once it boots back up go through the setup procedure (choose language, skip the input demo, add google account).

Once you have tied it to your account at this point you will have access to your gmail, contacts, calander and the market (requires google account)."

Since installing MCR 2.0 core with the newest radio, my wifi sometimes drops after a while of inactivity. Is this a feature or a bug?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cdmackay:
Just installed core 2.0; all looks well, thanks Paul.

Restored my apps.

Only odd tihng:I have a constant Ongoing notification in the top-left. It's a ring/circle of dots, and says "Loading Data, Please Wait...". Stays there indefinitely. Have never seen it before, nor have I installed any new apps.

any ideas, please?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
It has nothing to do with MCR 2.0. It is a standard feature of Android to preserve battery. There are many apps on the market that disable this feature, try searcing for wifi lock (or wifilock).

There is also a phone setting to switch from wifi to mobile internet whenever the screen goes off, and I believe that is the default. you can change this to never switch when charging, or never switch at all

Apps not found in market

Hello,

I'm now also using MCR 2.0(c).

However, i've got one issue so far. That is my saved Apps on SD card. I backed them up with app manager and now restored after installing the new ROM.

The problem is that they do no longer appear in the Market (My Downloads) and thus i cannot install or get notified of any updates!

Is there a simple way around this?(without reinstalling everything from the market again).

Is it because I'm now rooted and backed them up when i wasn't root?

About debian support:

Paul, I have been playing with the bootdeb script in your custom kernel and i have successfully booted debian with following modifications:
