thanks for ur hard work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
First of all, awesome work Lox.

As expected, the GSM parts don't work. I assume there is not gonna be any progress in that department until we can get our hands on a 2.0 RIL library from HTC. Maybe we can use one from ION when that gets 2.0, it worked for 1.6 atleast.

Headset works fine, no icon to indicate it's connected though, but that is also true on ADP2 devices with ION so it's not specific to this, guess it's an AOSP issue.

Sensors is semiworking, SensorManager detects the sensors, with some akmd tinkering it should work.

Otherwise it seems to run smooth.

Also one other question Lox, your vendor dir on github, is it that same you used to build this or did you use any more updates to it? Seems like it hasn't been updated in 3 weeks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
guys network is partially working. i managed to call 2-3 times. then it said cant access network.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] macshade:
it work's

First thank you for your great work.

It work's almost perfect :)

First time i dint have GSM network, i disabled SIM PIN request and it catched network.

So network work's,

Wi-Fi work's

google account not working....

I was not able to get contact's ... but then i tried exporting to a VCF file from my google account and then importing in phone from SD-CARD VCF and now my phone as all my contact's

Only need Market to have essencial on this.

Great work.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo-Dragon:
Just wondering.

If I do a Nandroid backup and wipe before updating, but want to revert back to my current Rom, will all my contacts and all phone settings restore back to normal as if I never done it?

Because I will update and try it out if that's the case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] WhiteWidows:
This is for DEV's man...If you don't know the answer to that you shouldn't be using this. Nothing is working correctly.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rivethead:
Hi there! I'm very glad to have Android 2.0 on my Hero, so many thanks for you Lox_Dev!

The installation of tis ROM worked flawlessly, and so google apps did. But there is still one baaad bug, and I can't see if there is some mention about it. So this is the problem: OpenGL apps are very slow and kinda buggy, it seems that the 3D accelerator (if there is any) isn't working properly, because of lacking drivers or something like that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arj03:
Very impressive work. I might have a go at this very soon. It's hard to resist the temptation of 2.0 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
That is probably due to bad drivers, and therefore the OS resorts to software rendering.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
Reverting back to MCR 2.9

I have been using this ROM for two days now and it got a lot more usable when we I got the gapps installed.

But as much fun as it is to be on the bleeding edge it's kind of "iphonish" to accept shortcomings just because the phone is cool.

I am an active geocacher and need the paid app GeOrg to do this. Since I am norwegian I am not allowed to pay for applications and GeOrg is copy protected, so I can't transfer it from my MCR 2.9 ROM to Eclair. I have gotten the .apk file from /data/private-app, but it will not install via adb.

The second thing is that Exchange Sync does not sync my Exchange Calendar which I cannot live without.

The third thing is that the camera doesn't work properly. I take a lot of pictures with my phone and I miss my camera.

If someone has (free) solutions to my problems (I can compromise the camera) I have a nandroid backup of Eclair and wants to play more, but if not I will have to live on Cupcake until HTC gets their official ROM out AND I am allowed to pay for applications in the Market (or someone makes Market Enabler work on Eclair). Sadly
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
Same here - It was fun for a while but was missing he blitzing fast speed of MCR2.9 with 1.9 teknologist custom kernal.

Was a pain even getting market to work properly for me on the beta, but then again, it is a beta.

So now, back to waiting for when we can start playing around with 2.1!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
Which seems to be right now, actually. :) Cant wait to get home.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
the browser in 2.1 is cool..but this rom, is way better in my opinion because the 2.1 is lacking nearly all apps, even people is missing. im trying to port some of the apps to this rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
More important to get the sync issue fixed first imo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
yeah holy crap i only just flashed back to mcr2.9 then saw the 2.1 post and was like *GASP!!!* haha. flashin' right now.

after using this rom i don't see all apps in the market even if i went back to MCR 2.8 i can't see twidroid or radalert

i did a wipe and everything on MCR but still can't see all apps in the market

does anyone have a solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
Lox_Dev: bro i will earnestly rquest you to continue development of this rom. its much sleeker than the 2.1 version. 2.1 really doesnt feel new. i mean when we upgrade to a new os we want to feel it new by the look and appearence but if its same look then it really doesnt give good feel. so i would be really grateful if this rom gets going after all. i am sure many other users will also want a clean 2.0 with new outlook and without rosie. cheers man. keep up the good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arj03:
seconded. Please continue :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rivethead:
I second that. The clean Android is great, I can't even look at laggy and ugly Sense after using aosp 2.0.

Edit: dammit! Too late. So I "thirded" that :)

if anyone is wondering, i recently discovered open home. i heard so much about it before but never really knew what it was. I will never return back to the hero roms ever again. well...if they make alot of changes i will. but this AOSP made me love stock android way more now. i mean u can have the 7 home screens by using open home and you can also have diff icons, diff tray and the whole thing feels smoother. whovever wants to its in the market, give it a shot. i have no regrets. i thought it would make my phone slower, but it really makes it faster imo. btw im still tryin to figure out the motorola milestone browser issue so we can all have some multitouch normal browser goodness :)

Camera workaround

Playing around with the camera settings it works for me if i reduce the picture size to 2Megapixel and setting the Weissabgleich (sry german locale ;-)) to something else than auto did seem to help too. With those settings i was not able to crash the camera again.

cheerio n3utrino
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Aha. Mine now works in 3MP mode and no other changes made. It also now allows other apps to use camera such as shopsavvy and barcode scanner.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
But this is not the XDA DEVs problem, I think. I have googled this and Spotify users on Eclair handsets like for instance the Motorola Droid/Milestone also has this.

So I actually think Spotify isn't compatible with android 2.0. Spotify needs to fix this VERY soon. I can't afford to buy all the music I have synced to my phone. That will cost way more then the $1200 I pay pr. year for Spotify Premium.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] csasek:
using this ROM throughout the day and I noticed it is always synching and using my 3G and draining my battery. I even unticked everything under the synch settings and the sync icon was still displayed and my 3G was still running. Only when I used the power bar to turn off sync did it stop.

aside from that i think this ROM is pretty good and well on it's way to being a daily user.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CombinedEffort:
Must learn to read people posts in full. MODS please delete this post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
This has been reported a number of times.. you can turn off auto-sync in order to stop the battery drain. I'm working on the issue.

FWIW, Gmail will still 'sync', it just won't be push or automatic. When you open the application you can refresh and it'll do a manual sync. Calendar and contacts still need to be done manually (or turn auto sync on for a few minutes). I'm working to fix it, but I'm not making much progress right now.

Great ROM...

:D Wow... this kicks the arse of HTC Sense. Sorry but it's true, the Phone dialer, contacts, music player... etc. etc are so much more usable. The Android 2.0 UI is also cleaner.

The only problem is the few bugs and some apps. I also feel the speed is better then stock HTC ROM? I've starting reading at developer.android.com, what is stopping us from compiling Android and all the apps from sources and leaving HTC out of the picture ?

Question: does the Hero currently use software graphics rendering or accelerated? Anybody? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
That's exactly what this is... AOSP stands for android open source project..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Ok so the remaining problems like the camera are because lack of opensource drivers for the hardware?

i have a problem : i cant find the setting to switch in the android browser to see the normal pages like on my pc

on my hero i can only see the mobileversion off all pages and that sucks

can someone please tell me to switch it or to patch it maybe

nice rom devs ! i liked it but if you could boost up the peformance it would be awesome thanks guys

greetings

im from germany and i know my english is not the best :D

You could just download dolphin which allows you to view webpages in desktop view, and has very jerky pinch zoom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Once you've spent some time getting used to Dolphin Browser, you'll never want to go back. The tabbed browsing if so much easier and faster than on the HTC browser. Plus bookmark managment more advanced too.

Top tips:

In Settings, select the option to auto-hide tabs. They don't take up space then. just tap the top of the screen to get them back.

Use the Gestures - go through setting up your own preferred gestures and it will make doing anything so much faster and easier.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
does multitouch zoom work for you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tisungho:
Hi,

you know how to make dolphin's bookmarks show up in HTC's bookmark widget?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
With this ROM no H logo shows up, only 3G.

But in the Settings "Mobile Networktype" it says HSDPA.

The same lie like on the iPhone? :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
I am loving this, with the new launcher app thats been developed over on the dream bit.

Totally changes the feel of android (for better imo), really worth checking out!

http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/home

Also, to change the wallpaper use wallpaper set & save on the market, doesn't corrupt your images either
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] E2K:
hsdpa is 3rd generation-*something* no?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gaabrysz:
What launcher app are you talking about ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
UMTS = 3G

HSDPA = enhanced 3G (3.5G etc...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA

In modaco roms and stock I got HSDPA with H Icon, now I get HSDPA with 3G icon...

iPhone shows also 3G icon on HSDPA, correct me if I am wrong (I never had an iPhone, but never saw one with a H icon).

just a question to the devs here, now that we have the leaked 2.1 (2.0.1) rom wich works great hardware vise, wouldnt it be possible to use parts from this rom, to make the AOSP rom more stable...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
I think Lox has stated that he will be updating this using the new 2.0.1 sdk release and then being able to take certain bits from the HTC 2.1 to get everything to work if possible.

I imagine he's busy right now getting the 2.1 ROM as stable as possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
home replacement, sorry.

http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/home

Also, for people missing gallery, there is a multitouch one in the market made for the droid, which works fine, and has pinch to zoom. So it works ... in a pinch (sorry sorry)

And now a question of my own, can we turn off enter to send in the messaging app? its really getting on my nerves!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
I only miss the gallery app because it let me easily set a cropped image to be my wallpaper..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
What exactly is wrong with the gallery app, anyway? There are apk packages for almost every other missing application (places directory being the only other one I still miss). What's different with the gallery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
Not everything is a simple drop-in replacement.. given that those applications were written with the 1.5 android SDK, and 2.0 obviously uses the 2.0 SDK. It's possible you could just copy it over and install it, I just have not had a chance to mess with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
However, I've looked inside 1.5 ION rooms and there wasn't even a gallery.apk file to copy. Is the app supposed to be inside another package?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
It's called HTCAlbum.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
But wouldn't that be HTC's own gallery app? The one that came with the Hero? I'm talking about the stock one, the one we had with behnaam's cupcake ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
I don't know what ROM you're referring to, so I'm afraid I can't help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
What I mean is, is Htcalbum.apk google's stock gallery app or HTC's multitouch gallery app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] E2K:
Crosspost, but:

can anyone tell if the 2.0 rom has increased color depth?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
no it dint and it wont. it will be only done in xperia 10.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
It's HTC's multi-touch gallery.
