Hi,

I've been using Advanced Task Killer on 2.5.1 since 2.5.1 was released and haven't had any problems so far.

As a supplementary question, is WaveSecure the only change between 2.5.1 and 2.6? It's all that's mentioned in the log but I don't think I'll upgrade just for that function.

Btw, cheers for the ROM Paul, 2.5.1 is fantastically stable and quick. my only problem has existed on all ROMs so far and that is the Internet connection dropping occasionally (usually in Market)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sergio PC:
To the Chef:cool::

Paul: I deeply thank you for your ROMs, first android phone eva (long marriage 2 winmo) and im loving it!

-Highly appreciated.

-I see the flashing addiction is everywhere! Feel right at home.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bunt83:
Have you upgraded to the latest version of Advanced Task Manager?

(I updated this morning and only started experiencing issues after this update)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gangstaunitg:
I would like to know that too :)

> Enhanced featuring Wavesecure

Only in Enhanced Version or is it included in Core?

It's not listet under "Included in 'enhanced' add on pack"...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiz:
Thanks Paul, 2.6 is fantastic. Seems even snappier than 2.2, I didn't even think that was possible. Wavesecure is another great addition.

mopodo: yes it is included in the core edition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Beekhouse:
For myself i solved the wifi/browser problem.

My provider is Vodafone and I manually put in the APN settings after a wipe.

Therefore I also filled in the proxy and port number like they say on there website.

But when the browser connects to 3g with these settings it remembers the proxy, and when after using 3g you use wifi it cant connect.

So I just leaved the proxy and port blank and now everything is back to normal.

Because the dont need to be filled in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
Since upgrading unable to login to social networking

Error

Sorry the application social networks (process.co.htc.socialnetwork.accountmanager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I have tried reinstalling and hard reset still same error is anyone able to send me just this file so I can try and re-install it. unless anyone has another idea cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
how can I remove it? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
so how is 2.6 better than 2.5.1 apart from wavesecure?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiz:
Read the changelog, second post. It has all the details about all the versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LeeDroid:
Awsome!! yet another fantastico update! Cheers Paul!

Glad you stuck with the Hero :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 123belly:
Is it just me or is the IM app still missing from the new rom.

Amazing as ever though :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chaoscentral:
IM isn't there for me either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
im was removed in 2.5 due to issues several (most) people were having. you should be able to just extract it from the 2.4 update.zip file, put it to your sdcard and install it with any filemanager. correct me if i'm wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
What was the IM app like anyway?? Nimbuzz/IMPlus+ clone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Giso:
Gratitude

Thank u ever so much 4 the work, this is really amazing, just flashed the 2.6...!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chaoscentral:
well, look at the features list on 2.6 in the first post. Says added IM, so I figured it would have been put back in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
im getting WIFI fail on this 2.6 rom which i also got on 2.5.1

2.2 was fine any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] risterdid:
i had the same problem with 2.5 and 2.5.1, what i did was did a nandroid backup and complete data wipe, then reinstalled the 2.6 rom from 2.5 core. also if that doesnt work, id unroot the phone and start from scratch. wouldnt hurt to try just backup your sd card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Geeum:
Hi guys just wanted to double check before I do anything stupid (I'm just starting to get familiar with all this tweaking).

I am currently runnin the 2.5 ROM which I installed right after purchasing my hero (that is I wiped everything, unbranded, etc etc)

So I read no wipe was necessary, just launch the update from the recovery mode.

Question: I understand that I'll keep all my details like contacts, emails, sms (since no wipe) but what about installed apps ? Will I have to re-install anything ? More generaly, once the update is made is there anything I will need to reinstall afterwards ?

Thanks

Geeum
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
Nope, nothing at all.

Update it the normal way and its just like the way you had it before you updated with the new version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i guess paul forgot to take it out of the feature list. there is no changelog since 2.5 saying that it got in again, so it should be right that there is no im app. good for me, using mainly icq which the app doesn't support ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Yeah, I forgot to update the feature list! :P

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdhrubs:
just a basic couple of queries. i rooted my phone and installed the modaco 2.2 rom quite a few weeks ago. I'd like to upgrade to the 2.6 rom now.

is there a way I can save my 'scenes' so that when i upgrade to 2.6 and everything is wiped, i can just load up my scenes as they are and save me the bother of manually dragging and dropping all the various widgets on each homescreen into the correct position? i'd obviously back up all my applications etc.

thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
2.6 is a non wipe update.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] M3 SMGII:
which is the latest radio for my Hero (Dutch version, bought it in the Netherlands)

63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 or

63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08

Is the EU the latest for my Hero because EU is for Europe? and FU other countries?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpalo:
From the first post in this thread: "...I also strongly recommend installing the latest radio (63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08 at time of writing)." And it stands for all phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] M3 SMGII:
ok, I thought the FU was not suited for my phone because I have a dutch hero.:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpalo:
About this WaveSecure, is it really free for Androids, as there seems to be some subscription required?

"WaveSecure costs 5 Euros for a 3 month subscription and 15 Euros for a 1 year subscription. WaveSecure is currently available for free for Android users via the Android Market."

That doesn't really say that there are no subscription fees for Android users, only that you can get it from Market for free.

Paul, I hope you're getting some money from WaveSecure for including it in your core ROM, when people could download it from Market for free. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I included it because I think it's good.

Wavesecure, they have confirmed to me personally that it will remain free for anyone who signs up now.

"We intend to keep this free for everyone who registers now! That means even if we make this into a paid service on Android in the future this will remain free for our early users."

Flip Clock won't use my Location.

First off I want to say thank you to Paul for keeping up development on this Hero rom. Thank you sir!! :cool:

This rom is amazing and FAST!!! I updated from 2.2 which was pretty solid and fast but this is so much faster and smoother in comparison.

I didn't want to take any chances with stale data causing problems so I wiped my ext, dalvik, data, and fixed file systems before flashing to 2.6.

The only problem I'm having is with the flip clock, I live in Jacksonville, Fl in the US and when ever I select the flip clock and add my city and select it on the flip clock it shows up as Detroit vice Jacksonville.

If I select any other city it works just fine and displays that city.

I really like having the flip clock on my Home screen and wanted to know if there was a simple fix for this.

I'm attaching a screen shot of the clock that displays Home and Current to show that current is displayed as Detroit vice Jacksonville.

Hi Paul

first of all , great job , thanks for your work .

i encoutered into a problem regarding the bluetooth with the wifi :

i'm using my HBH-970 headset , and when its connected , and i try to connect to a wifi network , i can't obtain an adress , it keeps scanning .

when i connect to that particular network , and conect to the headset , everything works fine .

the problem is in ... ??? whan can i do to fix it ? is it a mac related issue or a physical problem with my device ?

thanks !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
I'm currently using 2.5.1, and love all the updates. Thanks a lot. :big thumbs up:

The thing I'm still not clear about is using A2SD. Would I see any performance improvements if I use it? Would I be able to keep all my apps if I did a wipe of my phone?

I was able to go from stock ROM to mdc2.2 without a wipe, but was wondering if my phone would run any better if I was to perform a wipe, or use A2SD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpalo:
Excellent news and thanks for your good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawwy:
Hi

Where is task killer on 2.6

Also how can I activate boot sound

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] axellink:
Amazing job Paul. Installed it over the 2.2 ROM with no issues. This is how all upgrades should be!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dudeldei:
Thx for yet a nice release! :)

I have one issue though; WIFI don't seem to work with native browser, nor the wap browser. If i shut OFF the WIFI, the browsers work fine with the Mobile Network.

I've tried with the latest radio as well, but no success.

Everything else seems nice. I liked the new Wavesecure app as well, great job!

/Rune
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
I had the same problem and found out if you *delete* the Proxy: and Port: values found under APN settings that the browser will start working again over wifi.

Hope this helps! :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] soylukral:
I do have a little problem. My wifi doesn't work after I installed the 2.6 rom. I already have installed the recommended radio also. Could anyone please help me out? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dudeldei:
I just deleted the proxy and port from my APN and it worked like a charm afterwards!! :)

Thanks alot!

Sense UI

I am looking forward to install this together with my new Hero.

Am I going to lose my sense UI with this ROM?

Just wanna check, I know this has benn asked a lot of times...

Please answer me...

How can I make boot sounds work? Anybody going to tell.me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I'll include a boot-sounds-restore update.zip with 2.7.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
2.7?

What's on the Menu Paul?

Thanks for the Awesome rom!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I added a 'coming in next release' section to the changelog!

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
Awesome thanks!

Quick question Paul, when I was on 2.2 I pushed a user.conf from another Hero rom to enable swap because I see you're rom does not support it by default.

Will using a swap partition affect the speed of this rom or will it make it even better?

Thanks in advance Paul. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Using a Swap partition isn't a bad idea, install 'Swapper' from the market would be my advice...

Has anyone gotten wavesecure to find the Heros location through their website?

Wont work for me :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
Wavesecure found me with no issues and was very accurate.

The first time you have it track you it takes a few minutes and says so on the website.

Try a reboot and see if that helps. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] soylukral:
hey do you mean deleting the proxy and port form APN of the provider or what? could you tell me how my wifi connection can work without issues?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sausageman:
:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Golgo:
Hm, well didn't make any difference unfortunately. It does say it'll take a couple of minutes but nothing happens. Does the GPS have to be activated or can it use cell towers too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
You need to activate GPS.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Golgo:
Ah, well that would explain it. Shame it cant track by cell towers like Droidtracker can. Maybe in a future release :)

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
The performance thing is a subjective issue. If you don't have many apps installed, you probably won't notice a difference.

A2SD just moves the application storage from in-phone memory to the SD card. Since the in-phone memory is also used by the OS for real memory operations, when you have a lot of installed applications, the amount of memory for actually running applications gets squeezed, and that can slow them down (as other running applications are managed to make memory available for running the foreground application - which all takes time). In order to get maximum benefit, you need a class 6 SD card - although not all class 6 SD cards are created equal. I've got an A-Data 16GB Turbo microSDHC Class 6 that has served me well. I also use the "Move Cache for Root Users" app to move some common data stores to the SD card.

I don't believe you need to wipe. When you have an ext2/ext3 partition as the second partition on your SD card, flashing with the MoDaCo ROM (or maybe a restart) will move your applications to the ext3/ext3 partition.

Hi!

Has anyone else experienced a huge battery drain? I went straight from 2.2 to 2.6 and now my battery lasts less then 12hrs! On 2.2 I could go 2 days without charging.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonnybops:
Yes I can also confirm 2.6 seems to drain the battery far quicker than previous versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vbfarshad:
hi

i have a problem with this rom :(

when install it

abort installation !

and show this message

corrupt file , verification failed

i redownload this file and have a same error

anyone can help me?..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawwy:
same +1 battery goes quickker.

also what is point of wavesecure if gps has to be activated, if somebody steals your phone its not like they will activate gps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Golgo:
Yeah, its pretty poor actually. Whats good is you can remotely lock the phone and backup certain things but other than that there are better apps for tracking and wiping. Also, Wavesecure cant do a complete wipe of the phone, from what I understand.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salmanbodla:
I don't understand this, sorry. The actual memory used to run apps is the RAM (Total 288MB; about 197MB total available after subtracting the amount used by the OS and the radio; whereas the apps are installed on the ROM (I think 512MB total; and ~150MB available on a"fresh" out of box Hero. We should be only looking at the RAM as far as the performance of running apps+widgets is concerned. Apps2SD would only free the ROM. How would it make a difference to the performance? Please explain anyone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salmanbodla:
Oh that's not so good then. I read somewhere around here that battery life on 2.5.1 was much better. Have you tried that?? Why don't you try and let us know please ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] M3 SMGII:
I think that my apps are not installed on my sd. First I had 130mb free memory. Then after a few apps 99mb is left now. I have created a ext3 within the recovery image so everything is alright I assume?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Apps that included as part of the "base" ROM occupy ROM space. Apps you download to the device from the Market or other sources will occupy RAM unless you use AppsToSD.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
i knew something was different about it but i couldnt put my finger on it, the battery does seem to drain v quickly

but is it the rom or the new radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salmanbodla:
OK. However, this is what I get from the Swapper app about the memory info (after killing most of the tasks by taskiller):

Memory: 197040 KB

Used: 152004 KB

Free: 45036 KB (when many tasks are open, the free is sometimes only 4-5 MB)

>>And this is the infrom from Settings >> SD card and Phone storage:

Available space: 102 MB

I am sorry I still don't understand. I thought the Swapper info was about the actual RAM that is used to "RUN" apps, while the phone storage info was about the space for "INSTALLING/SAVING" apps. There seems to be a difference. If the apps from the market go to the RAM, available RAM should keep decreasing, but what actually decreases is the Available space. The Hero specs say that it comes with 512MB ROM, most of that space is taken up by the system and stock apps, so at the beginning about 150MB is availabe and it decreases with every new app installed (e.g. I have 102MB left). Isn't this the ROM, or it is the RAM?? Then what is the 197MB that Swapper is hinting at?

I am confused... would really appreciate if someone could elaborate. Cheers :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
i believe foxmeister's statement is wrong.

Whether you install applications to your sd or to your phone memory doesnt affect your RAM but your ROM only!!!

When you install application on your phone, the ROM is being used up ( not the RAM).

However if you install them to your sd ( with app2sd) , the ROM on your phone will remain the same.

Gone back to MoDaC0 2.2c

After playing with the latest ROM v2.6 for around 4 days, I have decided to revert bact to v2.2. I do miss the more responsive newer ROM, other than that battery life, wifi and reception was poor(IMP). I tried changing APN settings and used different radios but after downgrading to 2.2 everything seems to be normal again. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taz5176:
anyone knows where i can get prev versions of modaco custom rom, eg. 2.2? only the latest version is available

thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
Yeah, I would liek to take a looka t 2.2 as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Try this server. Its fast as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
Excellent, thanks a lot! I'll take a look at it and give some preliminary bench on the battery life of this.

btw, side question, how do I check the radio's version on the device?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawwy:
im going ot unroot and go to official firware, i will install modaco 2.7 when its released if it has improved battery life
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Settings/About the phone==>smallband version.

Its all the way down in the settings menu.

Why not roll-back to v2.2c and update the radio to the '06EU****06.18'? Thats an excellent core and radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawwy:
why not 2.3 over 2.2 because 2.3 is faster, why 2.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
2.2c was the last known really good rom, wich was followed by some roms that modaco had to fix due to some bugs. So v2.2c and then v2.5.1c I should advice. You might read back from post #1114 in this topic.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawwy:
is 2.5.1 battery life good?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
I have no problems with the battery life. its ok with me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taz5176:
thx!!!!

that's what im looking for!

Hi,

I found a bug in this ROM. I'm using 2.5.1. I find no way to remount SD card after I removed it. In order to get it mouted again, I have to restart the phone :'(

Hopefully Paul will have a fix the next release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] soylukral:
try removing proxy and port under APN settings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkym0nkey:
2.3 had some stuttering in senseUI operation.

2.2 was very almost perfect.

2.5.1 and 2.6 are also great. Battery life seems normal here. I dont use GPS extensively, so it easily lasts me for couple of days even if I forget to charge it overnight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Largely pointless exercise. The purpose of the pre-flash Nandroid backup is so that you could roll back to the earlier ROM if you had problems. You can't do this now (via your own Nandroid backup at least), and if you've wiped before flashing all you will end up with is a backup of vanilla 2.5.1 which you can get back to by wiping anyway.

Dave

observations from wipe from 2.5.1 and 2.6 - Big problems

I have found that a wipe (whether that be via phone or recovery image) from either of these roms breaks the phone. (solution below).

After the wipe, the sense UI theme would no longer load, social networking FC'd and was unable to be used.

I have tried this on 2 Orange Hero's and the results were the same. No problems until a wipe.

I found that flashing the generic ROM back on after a wipe, and then the MoDaCo ROM (2.6) sorted the problem on both phones.

Thanks Paul, I love your ROM's, i'm converting as many people as possible to Hero/MoDaCo!

Has anyone else noticed the same problem?

On a side note, i'm trying to find where the bluetooth config file is on the MoDaCo ROM's (the one where the discoverability settings are). It appears in the dreams etc. when BT is turned on at the location /data/misc/hcid/[BT MAC address]/ but not in the MoDaCo Hero roms. Can anyone help? I have asked Paul but i know he is really busy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawwy:
i can get back by unrooting and going to officail , just by installing officail rom via ruu and do it that way..but as you say nothing will go wrong with my phone even if i forgot to backup nandroid

Notifications don't disappear

Hi,

As much as I love the MCRs, the last upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.6 brought a new problem. Notifications in the top-bar don't disappear, like sms notifications or finished-downloading notifications, they all stay there until I manually hit 'Clear notifications'. Logcat gives me nothing weird. Any ideas?
