I'd love to know the secret for you guys. I wiped ext3 on my Class 6 card and flashed this ROM and it's slow as balls if there is a single widget. This is not the experience that was shown on Paul@MoDaCo's video. Is it the modifications that make it suck? Or do I have some sort of hardware issue. I can't escape lag.
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
1.5.1 didnt wrk for me either lol im flashing the 1st one now
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i found that if you installed a 3rd party sms app like chompsms / handcent

you'll get most of your sms along with the htc message app

=D

ive gotten all my text so far with both installed.
[G1 Android Development] nautiakopnoy:
niceeeeee beans :-)

I LOVE THIS ROM... SUPER FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!------------------------ just zips----------------->>

Anyways, opening messaging does not lag, screens fly by people app is fast. When dialing and moving the dialpad down the annoying note about speed dialing does not come up. Love it.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
the touchscreen focus on the camera app is very nice you can press and hold and take a pic also! i loveee it

and scrolling in people is very smooth

great job on this can't wait for development on this rom ;)
[G1 Android Development] :
What sizw swap are you using and what class card? I'm using 64mb on class 6 and it runs great.
[G1 Android Development] robillo:
for me no work ......:(

1 version....no

2 version no

3 version....no!!!! black screen ever....

:eek:
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
Method i used:

- Coming from Cyan 4.0.4

- rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache (didnt remove app_s since there was none on etc 2) if your coming off another hero rm -r /system/sd/app_s/ (also)

- boot into recovery and fix ext2 permissions just in case

- wiped G1

- flashMoDaCo Hero 1.5 ROM

running 2GB Class 6 SDCARD

32MB linux swap (best size for me never fails me)

hope this helps people.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Can someone port this over for the Mytouch?
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
I have to say that this is by far the best hero rom I've used thus far. With all the others I was rolling back to ION or Cyanogen within the first 10 minutes. I may actually run this for a while.

I would go so far as to say that this is nearly ready for everyday use (seriously, not like all the other ones that claim they are ready but still have a 20 second lag going from browser to home..)

Nice work!
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
Ok, im gonna do a full wipe of SD (3 passes), repartition, then flash. Like a few other people have said already i have tried every hero rom out there lol. Im wiping sd now and am gonna repartition and flash after class. (wiping sd takes like an hour but gives me best results with fresh hero install).

3 things:

What size swaps r u all using (people saying how fast it is) and swappiness?

Should i flash 1.5 or 1.5.1 ? (people saying 1.5.1 dont work ?)

Whats missing from 1.5.1 since its stripped down? (any widgets? apps ? settings)

sorry if im a pain in the ass = / lol
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
96mb, Class 6. I've done that Cyrket Benchmark and it had great results.

Should my linux-swap partition be smaller? Or should I have configured something when I reflashed? I dont even know how to configure the settings on it so that might be it..
[G1 Android Development] tshizzle:
does anyone know if i can replace the messaging on hero with native android messaging? cuz i dont trust aNY hero mms.apk
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
I just formatted my ext3, wiped through recovery and then installed. No other tinkering done by me.

I installed 1.5.1. There was a few minutes of black screen and it took a bit to sync all my google calendars and contacts. Once that was finished it was all good.
[G1 Android Development] Godson1227:
Yo Johnny ur using 30 swappiness w/ that 32mb linux swap "correct" ? lol
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I thought everyone ranting about how fast it was might be mistaken and threw my Cyanogen backup onto a separate SD card then flashed away. I had the problem where you get stuck at the HTC screen instead of seeing the setup screen which made me sigh and I prepared for slowness to begin when I finished setting it up.

I'm really happy to report that it didn't happen. This is indeed the fastest, smoothest Hero experience I've had to date on my G1. Flicking from one screen to the next is much better with not so much of a wobble when the next screen loads and with widgets all over the place it is still incredibly smooth. I've used this word a lot lately but in this case it's more than justified. AWESOME! :D
[G1 Android Development] TheInfekted:
ytf wont the clock flip
[G1 Android Development] p_pen:
This Rom is so good. Very smooth. I can say it is almost perfect. I am using 1.50. I am not brave enough to try the 1.51. I am afraid when I leave this Rom, I will no longer to get back a perfect rom anymore. I believe that this Rom is suitable for daily use.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yeah im using the default swappiness i haven't changed it.

its doing great so far so i dont wanna fix something thats not broken.
[G1 Android Development] bananaslug:
Menu doesnt work when playing a song so I can't add it as my ringtone. Minor, but still.

edit: restarting phone fixed it.
[G1 Android Development] oneandroid:
oneAdroid say ROM is like rocketship. Fast on the internets too.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Man, I hope people aren't just saying the rom is "perfect", "fast", "suitable for everyday use" like they do for every Hero build that comes along. I'm starting to take people's opinions for granted.

I'll flash this later and see for myself, otherwise, I'ma wait until the HTC fix update is cooked up.
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
took a grip but finally got past the HTC screen lol

is that LED i see :) very faint but its there :D

initial impression not bad speed is def there ill post later and see how it holds up throughout the day
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
That is exactly how I felt for the past month or so. Every JAC rom was "omfg this rules! so fast!!!" and "i can use it all day and it never slows down if your g1 lags it's you not the rom"...

This rom is actually quite fast from what I've used thus far. Definitely worth a gander.
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
I saw the same thing after I had a gtalk IM!
[G1 Android Development] samygent:
main menu is a lot much faster then any other rom, rest is mostly the same

this rom is worth flashing
[G1 Android Development] dgrave:
Great Work

Great work with this ROM, its fast, no FC's so far. Except TMO's network is crashing right now. Call them and get a credit. I will hold on to this one for longer than a day. Keep up the good work!

I have 100mb linux swap/with ext3 and install and everything else was perfect. Well nothing is perfect but..you know.
[G1 Android Development] Godson1227:
ok cool. one question to anyone with insight...y do so many different swap sizes and swappiness settings work on some phones and not others and vise versa ? What factors into the speed the widgets on home screen amount off apps apps running...just wondering
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i believe theres alot of factors involved in changing the swap size and swappiness

you must consider the users:

- Size of SDcard + class

- Amount of apps running at once

- Widgets and network / battery useage

all these factors can either help increase the performance of your phone or can decrease them just depends.

Like i told many try out different swap size + swapiness to find the best one for you, i wouldnt recommend listening to others cause people have different sdcard and setup for their hero rom.

As for me i always stick with 32MB and stock swappiness at 30

never failed me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dkawli1:
I have HTC Touch pro T7272 with norwegian language, Now I want to change language from norwegian to english.

Can you help me for this problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Quark987:
Hi. In my view you have to flash an english language ROM to your phone. You'll find plenty of ressources for that on these pages. This reflash will erase whatever you have installed on your device now. As far as i know theres no stand alone language pack that can override the language in the OS.

Please note that the ROM you find, *must* match the make/model of your phone. There's a lot of beginners ressources on this site. Happy hunting :)

regards

Lars
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dkawli1:
Thanks for reply.

But I am new in this mobile world. if you tell me in details, thats more better for me.

can you have step by step guide to change language with rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Supr:
try reading this, I think it has everything you want to know about flashing a new rom!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] neferym:
hello !

Is it possible to boost the volume of microphone?

Thx !

Neferym
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Audio Hack v4 and UP.

I believe that this feature is currently being developed in an application.

BUSYBOX will be as expected; required for proper use.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for development drops on occasion. Google search for various threads and blog spots regarding the topic.

Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] neferym:
But the audio hack is for speaky, not microphone :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kchau:
is anyone else having the issue where toggle settings hangs on boot with cyanogen 4.04 on a 32b phone?

it works fine thereafter.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] farbird:
same problem since 4.01...

use "easy switcher" for now

may be the app issue and not rom issue
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Same issue.

I'm currently running his latest build. Which is obviously experimental.

However; even after using the command in the terminal emulator:

# su

# fix_permissions

That's the ONLY application I have a FORCE CLOSE notification for upon startup. Otherwise, I'm golden.

It's my favorite TOGGLE application, even with his custom widget selection, I refuse to be rid of this simply due to the favorable user-interface. It's a gorgeous application. Far superior to the likes of other switchers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] deadman1:
I think it's a problem with that app running as a widget on a HERO Rom..i still love it though!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kchau:
its not an app problem, because it ran without a hitch with my stock t-mobile rom. i have no clue what is causing it.

i'll try that fix permissions thing and see what happens
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reignzone:
Dual-post.

Anyway, yes...in regards to it being an application issue. That is not the case. It is more than capable of running on the basic firmware which is as of now; Google Android 1.5 (Cupcake) - therefore it's a flaw in design, permissions issue, or should simply be uninstalled, REBOOT your device, then upon booting after your load up, RE-DOWNLOAD the application once the cache clears.

That could be a potential fix.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hviviers75:
My digital clock only show 0:00 does not want to work, I installed 1 or 2 other clocks but I cannot remove them via remove programs what can I do. Please help me.:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bandis710:
I don't know if this works, but you can try to remove the clocks by temporarily disabling manila. Go to settings/all setting , then homescreen, untick Tf3d .. now you have the normal winmo screen, maybe now it's possible to delete the clocks.
[G1 Apps and Games] citydog5:
Would like to help but I can't find the app in market place? Is it available to Canada? Would you like to also post a link to your apk file so people can install it manually as well?
[G1 Apps and Games] nick_karstedt:
search "easydial"
[G1 Apps and Games] ices:
can't find it in Market...

edit: got it http://de.androlib.com/android.application.and-dev-isol-qwjp.aspx

Could you add contact pics? i like this app!
[G1 Apps and Games] Deleted member 1979557:
great app thank you very much, from what i see just now , its much better than the OEM dialer. One remark and its not a huge thing , can you see if you could improve the delay while pressing the numbers , they are a bit laggy, but it may be just me. Thanks again
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
You can install it from http://isol.co.in/ed/

Some screen captures and features are also provided there. Looking forward to your feedback

Thanks :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Thanks, we are working on the speed and many more features. Will keep this thread updated. If you find any other problems, please do let me know. BTW, which device are you using? and if its a custom firmware?
[G1 Apps and Games] innerspace:
Love the call log, dislike the dialer. Any chance you could make the dialer larger and make the contact scroll a pull down tab like the launcher?
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Hi, could you make it search by numbers as well? Also, a search by initials would be awesome (like HTC's). An example would be:

John Doe

And I'm able to search by entering "5" and then "3" (J, D). Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
We are working on the new theme to improve the user experience as well as the looks of the application. Our fellow forum member "MOONSSPOON" is working on this and has come up with some excellent ideas. I think that will somehow solve the issues with it.

If you could please give some more feedback regarding the dislike, we will make sure to fix those things.

For the pull down tab, that is some thing we have stored for phase 3 or 4, but that will be there for sure. As for now, working on other important features.

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Yep, HTC Smart dialer functionality is in under development and we are close to finish that. However, for now it won't be for initials. This is to search the unknown numbers in call logs. Like when you press 5 and 3, it will search for all contacts with the combinations of "JKL" and "DEF" as well as all numbers in call log with 53 in it.

So stay tuned :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Deleted member 1979557:
Im using an HTC Dream with CyanogenMOD 4.0.2 no APPS2SD yet. Like I said its a great dialer and logger.
[G1 Apps and Games] MOONSSPOON:
:) This is going to be a great application guys. Stay tuned!
[G1 Apps and Games] Draxter:
Screenshots?
[G1 Apps and Games] innerspace:
My issue with the dialer: Numbers are a bit on the small side, would prefer them to be about 2/3 of the screen... scrolling window for contacts is too. Basically, it just seems like there is too much interface crammed into one screen. I think the pull tab for contacts will be a big help. I'd also like it if when I dial a number the numbers are displayed immediately (instead of "sorting" through contacts first) so If I accidentally hit a wrong digit I know immediately instead of having to wait for the numbers to display after a no-match on contacts sort.

I look forward to the next version with new artwork, the guys who are helping out do great work and I'm sure things will change for the better. All in all I'm liking the app, GREAT JOB!
[G1 Apps and Games] Jrbourque:
This is very well put together, I cant wait to see what you guys do for the update. No lag at all with it. Good Job Guys!
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Thanks for the reply! Are you all planning to add the option of displaying contact pictures?
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
The current dialer screenshots and features can be checked at www.isol.co.in/ed

We are working on the new theme and hope to show you some thing in coming few days.
[G1 Apps and Games] Draxter:
Link down.
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
I agree on the too much info crammed in one screen but like MOONSSPOON mentioned in one of his messages "Its a fun battle finding the perfect balance between fitting the most information possible on the screen and making sure its not a pain to use" So let us see what we can come up with in next version with improved UI.

The idea to show a number immediately sounds good and we will work on it. As for the pull tab in list, that is definitely in the plans but on low priority for now. As for now, I feel there are other features we need so working towards it step by step will be best way out.

Thanks again for your suggestions and we will try our best to keep it up to your highest expectations.
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Yes, probably in the next to next release coz that might affect the speed of dialing.. the more data we will need to repaint during the processing, more resource hungry it will become.. so need to find the perfect balance between speed and features :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Woo.. that was quick.. I checked it once again and seems to be working on my end.. could you please try again http://www.isol.co.in/ed/

In the mean time, let me send you the doc file with PM
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Any updates? :D
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Yep, we are almost done with the next release and right now testing it on couple of phones here. The new features include -

1) Ability to search from call log for unknown numbers, right from the dialer (like HTC Smart Dialer)

2) All of the lists now have a scroll tab like default list in android contacts. So that you can tap on the scroll tab and move the list up and down

3) New theme, Thanks to MOONSSPOON

4) Minimize dialer

5) Auto minimize when scrolling in list

Some other tweaks are also in plans, so stay tuned..

Best,

Maheep
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Need Suggestions

Hi Guys

Need your expert take on some features we are planning in EasyDial.

Do you think it will be nice to -

1) Have a frequent caller list - All of the existing apps or default dialer lets you choose from favorite but what if we prepare a list of frequently used numbers automatically. So that users can just click on button and move on to a list for most frequently used numbers.

2) Call Log Statistics like Total calls, sms or emails to a number, numbers which are not used in a certain duration and other stuff like this.

Please let me know. If you guys have any other suggestions, please do let me know and we will add them into wish list.

Best,

Maheep
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Great to hear that an update is going to be released soon :D!

1. I kind of prefer's HTC's smart dial as they list down your call log before your actual contacts. I don't think there's a need for the most frequently used numbers, but it still sounds quite cool actually :D.

2. That will be great ^^.

However, with that said, I think both functions should be accessible by clicking a button or going through the menu, and not on the main home of EasyDial itself. That way, it'll still have a clean interface :D.

Any plans to support contact groups?
[G1 Apps and Games] innerspace:
I think the two proposed features are great but agree that you should keep the main dialer screen as uncluttered as possible and maintain a clean interface.

+1 bump for contact groups
[G1 Apps and Games] itanczos:
Hello!

Thanks for good work!

I am from Hungarian.

Please give the search of the international characters of the names to it. (á,é,ö,ő,ú,é,,í,ü,ó, etc...)

They would assist it to the Hungarian localisation of the program with pleasure.

Best regards.
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Thanks guys.. we are planning to keep the frequent caller list of long press of Pound (#) symbol.

As for the statistics, that will go under a menu item in call log screen.

Will look for the contact group option but what kind of feature we are looking here? Some thing to be defined in preferences like which of the groups should be included in search when dialing?

What happens, whey you try to key in these symbols now? I suppose you will need the language pack installed for keyboard.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
The default Dialer doesn't allow you to view the groups, or assign/add a contact to a group, or create a new group. I think some basic group support would be good :).

When's the new version coming? :P

Edit: Not sure if it's already reported, but long-pressing on a contact with no name or with < X > or < 0 > results in a force-close. Also, on contacts with more than 1 mobile number, after I long press and swipe left or right to switch to the other number, no matter how many times I swipe I can't see the initial number. For example:

John

Mobile: 98765321 (Default)

Mobile: 12345678

Initially, I will be able to to 98765321, after I long-press it slightly to swipe left or right, I will see 12345678. However, from there, no matter how many times I swipe left or right, it remains at 12345678, and I won't be able to see the default 98765321.

Thank you.

How much more time....can't wait for the update.....
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Just a day or two guys.. all done, just testing the stuff here on couple of phone.. will be posting the screenshots for new layouts later today!

Thanks :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Ultimate Chin:
Just tried this for the first time and I gotta say i absolutely love this app.Massive improvement on the other dialers ive used.

The only thing I dont actually like it the apps icon with the jumbled words.Any chance of something a little cleaner?(yes im picky I know :o)
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Just a question, how do I enter a space? Or is there no way currently? For example, if I want to search for "John Doe". I can spell John out, but I've no idea how to have a space :P. Thank you! Can't wait for the update!
[G1 Apps and Games] chinmayfun:
APP Icon

Seriously...The Icon can be much better....its also the first impression one gets when selecting an application in the Android Market...

Let me know if you need any help from my side... :D
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Sorry but right now space is not there.. will try to fix it in new release. Thanks for your feedback
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Yeah.. your ideas are most welcome. I will have to speak to MOONSSPOON on it.. he is the chief designer after all :))

Hi All

Here goes some screenshots from new version.. As all of you guys know.. credit goes to MOONSSPOON
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
oh BTW, this still has some alignment and other issues so we are working on it..

Just to be on safe side before you guys start shooting me :rolleyes:
[G1 Apps and Games] agentkalaw:
Hi,

I'm liking this app and how it looks. Could you guys add contact pics or support for other apps like facebooksync? That's pretty much the only reason why i would go back to a hero rom. Thanks again and good luck on the next release!
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Thanks, I will get this checked !
[G1 Apps and Games] sivaavis:
FC

Hi

I appreciate your efforts and the dialer is very useful. However wen I set the font size as 'large' and click or tap on any contact the app crashes. can you please get this fixed in ur upcoming version?

thx
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
I am sorry but we tested it here and could not replicate it. Are you using a custom firmware? If yes, that might be the reason for the problem.
[G1 Apps and Games] deepside7:
removed post
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Hi all

Just a quick update. We are done with the new release and I was about to make it live yesterday but figured out, we are stuck with a strange problem.

To update an application in market place, it has to be signed off with the same certificate which was used for the original build and unfortunately we didn't make a backup of it. Thus its not accepting the new build as an update and we are stuck. We tried to find out a solution for the whole day today but no such luck.

If any of you guys have an idea on this part, please suggest. In other case, I think, we will have to launch it as a new application. Which will lead into no update to existing users unless they find and install the new version. Needless to say, that is the least preferred option but seems we are left with no other option.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Best,

-M
