I confirm the sdcard issue... I can't access to /sdcard no more it seems empty, moreover I can't mount it no more, no more usb icon on the phone when connected to PC. Tryin' to revert to 2.1.1

edit: adp push update.zip /sdcard/ also failed... :(

returning "failed to copy to sdcard: read-only file system o_O

Hope I can work it out with recovery image
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
Boot to recovery and do 'adb mount /sdcard/'.

Uploading 2.2 now which fixes, apologies.

which script on the link page is best guys got a bit confused....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
Hi does this hero rom have anything to do with JACxHEROSkiv1.6r2 - MoDaCo custom Hero 1.51 merge rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Thanks Paul.

Great post for my findings.

I've come across a lot of stuff in regards to your builds. Some of which is very interesting...others, merely complaints. Regardless, it was nice to see you took the time to take them down one-by-one.

Now, I must say I'm eager to get my hands on this 2.2 patched build. I think I'm going to watch and re-flash once this is ready to go.

Of course, I'm excited about the "enhanced" version coming to the Sapphire (32B) and perhaps even the Magic. Woohoo! ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
No it does not.

Could someone with a 32A device try the 32A rom, and if it loops, ideally run DDMS from the SDK and look for the error?

Thanks!

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
Version 2.2 is now online, linked from the first post.

After a flurry of minor updates to get the ROM to this point, updates will now fall in line with the donor Hero build, major problems or advancements aside.

Enjoy!

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Good stuff.

Very, very nice.

Going to flash now. I'll test this on both the Dream and Sapphire. Anything in particular you're looking for or in need of pertaining to "feedback"...?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
Nah, gonna take it easy on the ROM builds for a while now I think, I have a bunch of other stuff to do, lol!

Just trying to figure out best compcache / swap setup for this ROM...

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Sounds good.

Alright. Well, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be reporting some issues to "other devs" for potential fixes in case they want to utilize your ROM for a super-cooked and delicious Hero build of their own.

One last query...can we still expect the enhanced version for us? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
Yes, that'll be online soon.

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Sweet deal.

Glad to hear it.

Again, thanks. As always, much obliged. Take care.

Oh, actually - if you could perhaps post on "how to" enable the boot image audio once more. I haven't found the script or command to do so. Thanks.

Guys keep an eye out on this thread...there is still one major drop coming, (i.e. - enhanced build) coming for us Sapphire users.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
Hi Paul,

Thanks for all the attention and work performed around the 32A devices.

I just installed the new 32A version (2.1.2) and mine gets stuck on the splash image, it doesn't loop, just gets stuck there.

My best regards,

R
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] quadmux:
Tried, but the usb doesnt initialize so DDMS doesnt catch anything.

EDIT: Atleast on mine. maybe someone else can try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wabster6:
for some reason after a clean flash ..everything runs perfectly smooth with the exception of sound ... my alarm ringtone or notifications are only vibrating and not ringing ( and no the phone isnt on vibrate or silence ) anybody else having this problem ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
2.2 download refreshed - if your G-sensor / compass doesn't work, re-download and re-flash.

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
2.2 link is down...again?

I went to select the download link @ MoDaCo and the link is a broken server.

It doesn't load the webpage.

[EDIT:] 404 Not Found - The requested URL was not found on this server.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avimak:
I have the same problem, same server error :\
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I think Paul is on it. I'm not sure though...from what I understand, it seems this issue has reoccurred. Perhaps he repaired the link, now the host server is down again? Not sure.

The reason I'm trying to re-download is because the 2.2 that I had downloaded initially did not offer the fix for the G-sensor. Seemed buggy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sardroid:
This same problem with server error:/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
I could do with your answers on best compache /swap set up.

that would be top great work so far

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BRAND1SH:
nice work modaco

im at work now, hopefully ( probably !) we'll be seeing some good results and remarks regarding this latest build.

question: I just recently installed adb/fastboot, whats the best way to flash a new rom with fastboot, without loosing settings and apps ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
I'm now using this ROM with compcache and backing swap, I swear apart from the occasional stutter it's as fast as my Hero!

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Confirmed swap and compcache.

I'm running a 40 MB swap partition, compcache enabled...tested, and working.

Back_swapping appears to be supported. Swappiness works well @ 60.

Paul, as I stated previously...I've been getting Tweets in reference to the audio on boot up. Is there a way to enable this feature? If so, let me know. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bluecluenj:
any ideas why I completely lost data connection when I flashed this???? :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Come on guys.

READ BEFORE POSTING! It's becoming frustrating to see queries such as this...and I'm not even the developer of this ROM.

CHANGE YOUR APN settings manually to your service provider. SIMPLE!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bluecluenj:
wow sorry to bother you, I searched and didnt find anything. I'll try to google the APN settings and find them somewhere else, just looking for some help from people who know more than I do
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BRAND1SH:
True, i believe in apn settings for the address just type in "wap.voicestream.com"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
No Plurk.

I'm bummed out.

The enhanced version of 2.2 doesn't appear to have much else going for it. From what I can tell, there is a WAP Browser and Footprints. I absolutely love Plurk; it's twice as fun as Twitter. IMO.

I have also noticed...upon flashing this to my G1 (as a test before flashing it to my Sapphire) I was immediately prompted with the "Low on Disk Space" notification. Apparently, this build is utilizing internal disk storage, as opposed to A2SD. Previous versions did not have this issue. Not sure why this has occurred.

Otherwise, it's gorgeous. Fast, responsive, and just what the Hero port world needs for us 32B users.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Good stuff.

Sorry for my frequent posts fellas...I didn't mean for them to be in succession. Anyway, the updated settings for T-Mobile are as follows:

Name: "T-Mobile"

APN: "epc.tmobile.com" (this is for ALL current DATA plans...including 3G data)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BRAND1SH:
I stand corrected,, wap.voicestream.com is for iphones lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BRAND1SH:
So this rom still doesnt support apps2sd ? i was just about to try it out too !

also, i tried 2.1 yesterday and got the blurry screen after timing out, since i see 2.2 is based on cyanogens kernel, has this eliminated the blurriness problem ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I'm going to try something.

Luckily, I ported this to my G1 first.

I'm going to try using Amon_RA's recovery image to move A2SD and dalvik-cache as well. Perhaps that could be a momentary substitute until this issue is patched.

It's fast though...no questions in that department. The 2.2 enhanced version is significantly more responsive. I'm just let down because I'm one of the few people out there that enjoys the use of Plurk and the included widget. Lol. :p

{Edit} Using the option from his recovery image does not work. It says complete, as if it registers a change...however, upon boot up, you still receive the notification on LOW DISK SPACE. (This is only on the Dream) Sapphire, shouldn't display the message, however a considerable amount of your internal memory will be gone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BRAND1SH:
it is fast, but i had way to many problems with 2.1 so I'll wait to see others experiences with this new one.

question about AmonRA's rec img, i use the same and have been intrigued bythe davlik-cache option, but never click it. I just the cache2sd app from the market and it seems to do its job, which would you recommend ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
This does support A2SD.

32A version is here:

http://content.modaco.net/hero/2.2-update-sapphire32a-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip

32A users please wipe, flash and report back. This is using the 32A version of Cyanogen's kernel...

Flashing now :)

NOT WORKING :(

stuck in 1st htc magic logo screen :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] quadmux:
Still stuck in a loop on the first splash (in my case the Rogers logo).

Dont get it. Could it be related to the recovery utility i am using? Cyanogen's revcovery v1.4 ?

EDIT

I let it sit for about 5 minutes, it didnt go beyond first splash. I went bak in to recovery and adb shell to system to see the files. its empty... almost like the flash isnt working.

Ok tried 32B rom on 32A with Brian Crook's Cyanogen port didnt work.

Tried Modaco's 32A rom with Brian Crook's Cyanogen port and it got past the first splash but was still in a loop. HOWEVER, it initiallized the usb, so i managed to run DDMS and get the error report and device dump.

See attached.

Specific error where it restarts *****EDITED... just look at the logs, i think some libs are missing.. "module=/system/lib/hw/copybit.sapphire.so error=Cannot find library

No zooming or anything???

Just letting you know, Awesome ROM.

Btw. if anyone has a wiped bootable 32B nandroid backup of Modaco's latest ROM and dont mind putting it up somewhere i can download and try the port util to see if that works on the 32A.

Hi guys, does anybody knows why am I getting this ?!

Why does swap shows 24Mo ? Is a that the normal value ?

My linux swap partition is 64M.

I flashed from 2.1.1 to 2.2 without wiping or formating ext3.

I get normal file names when exploring with a root exlorer on the phone, got user.conf but no user.init

And do you guys push user.conf and user.init in System/Sd or System/bin ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
If you're a 32B user and you wanna try Cyanogen's new 4.1.6 BFS enabled kernel, flash this small update.zip:

Well just finished installing the 4.1.6 patch.

Worked ok. Seems faster to me maybe becuase compcache is enabled once the update is applyed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Yammeh:
This new version seems slower than the previous (one without compcache) and I had trouble getting it to boot. It booted after applying the patch with Cyanogen's new 4.1.6 BFS.

I'm not using compcache, because I have no idea how to set it up. I am using swapper with swappiness of 60 and the default swap partitions from the recovery rom.

With the previous rom, the home screen kept rebooting when I closed an application, this isn't happening with this rom though.

Is there anything I can try or anything I should look for to try and improve performance?

New 32A approach coming up! ;)

OK, so for 32A, here's a better way of doing it.

Download the 32B update and push it to / put it on your SD.

http://content.modaco.net/hero/2.2-update-sapphire32b-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip

Download the 32A patch and push it to / put it on your SD.

http://content.modaco.net/hero/2.2-update-sapphire32a-patch-signed.zip

Reboot into recovery, wipe, select 'apply any zip' then apply the 32B image. Then, when that completes, select 'apply any zip' again and apply the 32A patch.

Done!

quick question. I want to try this ROM on my MT3G with cyan 4.1.6, should i just apply 2.2core from http://content.modaco.net/hero/2.2-update-...core-signed.zip

and no need to appllly patch, as far as i understand patch is for people who have your ROM already but not cyan 4.1.6.

Let me kknow if i understood it correctly, i cant wait to try this ROM and hope i wont get blurry screen problem with it

The chmod issues when trying to install an update

Can't chown/mod /data/xbin/nano
(No such file or directory)

Failure at line 42:
set_perm 0 0 04755 DATA:xbin/nano

are due to the system folder (partition) in the actual zip file being too big for the physical SYSTEM partition. One way around this is to move the /system/app and /system/media folders (or any other big folder) to /data/app_s etc. and then create a symlink in the update-script file. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] quadmux:
Nice! This is the problem i have with the 32B load.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] technicolor:
I tried this ROM downloaded 2.2core and updated. Looks so nice and i love it BUT its too slow, moving between home screens is way too slow. I had 4.1.6 flashed before, i guess will wait until 4.1.6 becomes stable and then devs start making hero roms compatiable with the stable release. Also was having audio probs couldnt get it resolved from latest 2.2 version

great job though but not ready for me yet :(
