[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MasterOfDesasters:
Finally a really important, well phrased post. Stop complaining about missing / not working things! Enjoy the possibilities to test new features and the outlook of future releases, structure your posts with useful information (with setup a software b is crashing while i do c). Always @ xda new rom threads getting filled with useless posts rapidly. That's annoying, especially for people who really have something to contribute. As well as posts in the development forum which are covered in the Q&A area. So if all of you wanna have innovation besides the original roms, let the cookers do their work and testing and contribute with detailed bug reports instead of whining about something's not working. If you want something stable, well working, go to modacos rom, as it uses official released rom base instead of beta one's.

So again, thanks bryanchapman9999 for the good post. It give's me the hope, that not 90% of the members here are some ******* of ******* :D

Unable to flash ROM

Hi,

Whenever I try to flash the update via the recovery image, I get the mesage

E: Can't open /sdcard/hikari_2.0.1.3_4.zip (bad)

I have re downloaded the zip file several times and keep getting the error. The file is definitely in my sdcard and is showing up in the list of zip files that I am allowed to "apply".

Has anyone else been having these issues.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dhruvzz:
Hey u need to edit it starting the and from updatehikari...and den try to flash it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docsamsom:
Hi,

I didn't quite get that. What exactly do I need to edit?

Samsom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Sorry guys, didn't want to be misunderstood. I am absolutely aware of the fact, that this is just a developer rom and that the cooker does not need to support anyone. I just asked for some locales and an APN list which would have made it easier for me to test it in everyday life. Finally I got no response, but I have tested it further and finally wrote my conclusion. Testing a ROM results in a personal experience which I wanted to share.

I personally thought about starting my own 2.0.1 project and set up the toolchain on my slack system, but I am not able to spend the time needed into the project, so I got back to Modaco 3.0. I think that more experienced guys like probably this one here or Modaco or whoever should then start modifying the final ROM which will - hopefully - be released by HTC very soon.

Didn't want to offend someone in any way :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
*********** OFFTOPIC ******************

Come on dude, this really upsets me. My post really just was a sum up of my personal testings. My conclusion: not ready for day-to-day use. I was hoping that speed would be better than with 1.5 which is not the case.. Of course I can add a custom APN and stuff, just wanted to be kind of helpful for others, in marked contrast to you.

Anyway, great ROM. But your post is just absolutely useless.

Just stop defending someone to the death who is willing to spend his spare time for the community, and help him or others to improve his work, instead of whining that someone said a negative word. I really can't stand this anymore...:mad:

HERO Orange UK with latest radio
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docsamsom:
I am having the same problem as well. The network seems to be working fine for all other purposes. Unbelievably fast ROM...its like its on amphetamines or something. Despite lots of apps force closing, I still wanted to use it for its speed. Back to AOSP 2.1 for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Just a quick note:

I'm working on a 2.1 rls in my free time (which isn't much) as well as on some other things.

Will post when it's ready (please DON'T ask when).

Merry X-Mas (holidays?) and a Happy New Year.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
I'm just glad to hear that you're working on a 2.1 release. :D

You're roms are great and I'm sure everyone won't mind waiting patiently for a release! :cool:

Thank you in advance, enjoy the holidays and upcoming new year! :)

New version?

Last Edit date and version number of the file says 4_1. Does this mean a new major version of the ROM? I can't see any changelog or description of the new version.

Anyhow I will try to install it. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fwers:
I think it's new version but won't say it's a major version, i think when he release it's 2.1 that will be a major one, So far i have noticed a few FC on htc apps mainly widgets, Alot of extra apps added to the data folder, and i do mean alot :p. hehe

nice work mate, I switched to this for now, i was using asop.2.0.1 before this and it was just to sluggish for my liking, this one is really fast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
Still not possible to create an exchange mail account, so it's right back to Modaco 2.9 for me. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] csasek:
I loaded this ROM last night. I didn't see a no-sense version but I am happy enough for now. Once I got my account to sync all was well.

I loaded Home++ which is one of my favorite apps these days. I downloaded some Calendar Apps from the Market and settled on S2 Calendar Widget. It allows me to display but not update my calendar, still better than nothing. Also Market Enabler works with this ROM so you can get to all apps with that.

Thanks for the work. looking forward to future releases
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rastandroid:
Works on main with google just little bit of messing around with flashing ROM

I did it 3 times and that helps and remember to use mobile network to sign in to google account

:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Does your exchange enforce password policy? Mine does and Exchange sync does not work at all. It asks me to set a password (which I do) and then spits out an error that exchange does need secutity (yes, there is a typo in the errordialog) protects.

I did a fully wipe before trying out the new version (2.0.1.4_1).

A sidenode: More Locale 2 from the market brought me back the userinterface in my preferred language. Thought initially, that all other locales were "completely" stripped out, but this is not the case. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkenergy:
just flashed, and stil no mobile internet for me

apn list also just shows a black screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mikeytjee:

ill search for a program to do it then hopefully i can use this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mikeytjee:
Oh ok sorry then its easy just press the menu button and press add apn and for the settin%s just Google
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
This is the APN list from Cyanogen. Open it in the Internet Explorer and search the settings of your provider

Excuse me, I'm new here.

You said that your rom is 'WWE ONLY', could you tell me what 'WWE' is?

Thank you and thanks for sharing~:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Snow_Young:
Is WWE short for 'World Wide English'?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fleming222:
Wow!

This is a very fast ROM, Great work.

Much smoother than Lox and Behnaams, and at least as fast as MCR. Shame there's no apps2sd.

Keep up the great work, I'm using this over Modacos at least for now, Thank You.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
Same here, looks as though it is going to be successful at first and then fails.

I need exchange email for work, I'll have to try another ROM or go back to MCR
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avimak:
Great speed, thanks for your efforts!

No exchange - back to Modaco's 3.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gpompeus:
Great ROM!!! But...

This is a great ROM!!!! Thanks for the hard work...

It will be even better if the Lock Screen is not transparent, I think the whole idea of having a Lock Screen is not to let anyone read or see the information protected... Right!!! Just a suggestion....

Thanks again for a great ROM.... Hope the developer will come up with a Non transparent Lock Screen soon...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Does this Rom update have the newer features such as the night clock, seen in Lox's 1.8 rom....taken from the expresso dump
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
Download link Rapidshare problem

Is there any other way to download this ROM? I am having a very difficult time downloading from Rapidshare and would be glad to do away with it. Perhaps a mirror link or torrent download?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
I'm sure this has been asked in the thread already, so my apologies, but I don't see it after a quick look -

As this is 2.1, do I need to wipe when coming from MDC 3.0? How easily can I flip back to 3.0?

Is apps2sd in the roadmap at all? I always thought that was kinda essential, no?

Would you say this is stable enough for day to day use or is it still really only for testing and such?

Many thanks.

**EDIT** Okay, sorry, this is not actually a 2.1 install, it's a 1.5 that tricks apps into thinking it's 2.1? Does that mean Google Goggles works on this one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
Hey AndyCr15,

How are you able to download this ROM? I can't even get a download stream to work with rapidshare? Can you help me on this one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asadji:
Adwinp: Would u please help

Adwinp... Always loved your ROMs from Win Mob forum.... however, space is a critical factor in most of work i do.... would it by any chance, possible to include Apps2SD please....

Thanks:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
It works fine for me, had to wait 90 seconds is all. Do you get an error?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
I also had to wait 90 seconds, but then it always says I am downloading a file from rapidshare already when in fact I am not. It's really frustrating. They should put up another link as a mirror for people who can't download using rapidshare.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fleming222:
Here's a megaupload mirror, just for steveoy :)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ANSWBQV0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
fleming222, thank you for taking the time to help, higly appreciated. I have downloaded the ROM successfully.

I noticed with this ROM, several apps and widgets are missing from the official 1.5 HTC ROM like People's widget and the album program. Where are they? Can I download them from the Market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
I also noticed something very annoying....

Whenever I try to set the time and location by tapping on the clock widget, I get an instant error with the message:

"The application Clock (process.com.htc.android.worldclock) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I know this ROM is not the official one, but come on, at least I should be able to set my time and date without getting such a persistent error like this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
No j2kquest, unfortunately, you can't even get to the clock setting window. It gives you a persistent error all the time. See my previous post for more information. I think I am going back to the Lox and Beehaam Hero Community 1.8 ROM. Thanks again, fleming222, for you effort.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Please fix the clock

Tried a few ROMS and I really like this one, I would use it as an everyday build on my phone but the clock needs sorted out, it just keeps forcing close and I need to be able to set alarms.

Try and fix please
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
Can anyone answer any of these? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
hmm i could of sworn it was a 2.1 rom because of the kernel it has unless thats a .27 kernel saying its a .29 kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Thanks for the info, going to see if i can copy the world clock app from Lox's Rom and push it to this one........

<fingers crossed>

Clock Problem

Hey, let me know if this works, would love to use this ROM but the clock crashing is putting me off, I went back to my Nandroid backup because it was so frustrating.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inasar:
WOW!

what an effort. good going @adwinp

keep it up. the android kitchen is brewing a different flavour of broth :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
It works!!! Just push the WorldClock.apk from Lox 1.8 ROM to this one and ;-)))))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Loving this rom

So far so good

Having a little problem with some apps not appearing on the market such as google maps, SUFBS and myback up pro

Oh and with regards to the additional included roms any chance you could put them into data-app, rather than system-app.........

just makes it easier to uninstall without needing a Root file browser

other than that love this rom, the wall paper is sweet, wouldnt mind the one in the screen shot as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ignis1982:
That screenshot says "Firmware 2.0"?

Ecclair is already out for the hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratcom:
@adwinp - great rom my friend, Seems faster than MoDaCo 2.9 to be honest ...... will put it though its paces tomorrow at work ;)

Oh and welcome to the hero board and please dont be put off by the lack of feedback it just alot quieter around these parts ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] markspark100:
adwinp! Thanks for the ROM haven't yet tried it as I've only just installed MCR 2.9 but have dowloaded it so prob will install in next couple of days. One quick question though...how do you make the lockscreen transparent? I've been wanting to do it for ages but can't seem to figure out how. Can't seem to see which image you've made transparent in the ROM or is it not by changing an Image do you have to change something else?

Cheers.

1: I'll take a look into that in my free time

2: I prefer system/app since anything else you install goes to /data, which I prefer to keep as clean as possible.

3: PM me and I'll send you the wallpapers. In fact, I think I got them from a wallpaper pack from the Hero Themes & Apps.

No yet. I just edited a few things so you can install apps from higher SDKs.

Thanks.

I have rebuilt another version, along with another kernel.

Will prolly upload during the week-end.

There is a free version of taskiller ;)...only limitation is the ignore list, u can only add 2 tasks to it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Im sure you can flash the original lockscreen from a Ratcom post in the Hero Themes section.

Oh and on a side note, i flashed Modaco's enhanced pack on top of this rom, and it gave me Plurk etc etc.........just a heads up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vanti:
Nice to see more chefs cooking ROMs for us to enjoy! Unfortunately rapidshare does not work well with the browser in my phone so haven't tried this one yet.

A question about custom kernels. I've heard some fuzz about patching the kernel with BFS (Brain **** Scheduler by Con Kolivas) on the G1 and getting nice results. Any thoughts? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zzoro:
How to uninstall included apps like AndExplorer, Sipdroid and etc? There are no "uninstall" function for these programs in Aplications. I`ve tried Uninstall managers from the Market, but they cant uninstall them either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
The best scheduler for such a CPU is deadline.

1: remount /system as rw

2: delete the apks of the apps in question from /system/app and delete their corresponding dex from /data/data

New version upped.

New KERNEL.

Edited description, but didn't have the time to update screenshots.

Clock Problem

Hey Geovass,

Did you just extract the APK from Lox ROM and then copy it over or did you just install the apk using HTC Sync.

Cheers, Claude
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
Another fix for you!

The Google Calendar Widget works perfect, if you push the Calendar.apk and the CalendarProvider.apk from AOSP 1.6 ROM !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
i used the adb push command on my mac!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Clock Problem

Cheers, I have just extracted the ROM and found the clock & calendar APK's

I am using Win 7 so will try using adb install from CMD prompt other than that I will try and copy them to the device and use an application installer.

Thanks for the info, it's a great ROM, just needs a few tweaks

Claude
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I'll try to address bugs and stability issues in due time, but for one, I don't like HTC-related apps.

There are A LOT of lighter, faster and less resource-hungry apps available, which can serve as a replacement, and this is my general philosophy.

Fast, lightweight, and stable (where possible).

This is why you shouldn't expect me to fix HTC-related things.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
ROM Issues

Adwinp,

Whilst we all very much appreciate the time and effort you guys put into the ROMS there are obviously going to be some issues that people run into, I don't think it's too much to ask to get the clock running properly in all fairness.

I actually managed to fix it myself and am sort of enjoying having a mes around to see how things work.

Unfortunately I am probably like the majority of people on here, I like the HTC widgets and understand about the trade off in performance but if you are planning to use and test these ROMS then I want them to look fairly pretty too.

Anyway, keep up the good work, these home cooked ROMS are excellent and until the official ROM is released I plan to use your ROM.

Hi there.

I really would like to try this ROM while waiting the official one, but I have no rapidshare premium account and cannot download.

I have to wait.

Is there any other download link?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fleming222:
You don't need a premium account to download off rapidshare, you only wait like 90 seconds. Here's a megaupload mirror anyway;

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ANSWBQV0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Your link sems ok, but with rapidshare i really could'nt download:

Thanks for the link!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
So I tried the ROM but..

(sorry, 40 pages to read is really a lot..)

1) cannot sync Google account ( Facebook is OK)

2) cannot add icon on the home...

3) No french keyboard ( that's OK because i knew that while reading posts)

Will go back to modaco!

But nice ROM and i really love the transparent Hero bar ( with phone, the arrow and the "+")

You made a great job!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
no 1 and no 2 works great. You should wipe before you install this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Of course, i made a wipe before installing.

1 and 2 are now OK after a reboot.

Maybe i'll keep this ROM a while. Really great job, and i really love the "hero launcher"

Sorry to disturb you with my posts!

Unfortunately right now our servers are overloaded and we have no more download slots left for non-members. Of course you can also try again later.
