No prob, i just need to read how ro sign and then i will flash, test and PM you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Do a search for testsign.jar

;]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxniper:
Thanks anyway is already doing the 1st boot ;)

Do you whant that i upload the signed one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I will be doing some more modifications tomorrow; you'll just have uploaded an outdated version.

Thanks anyways.

I have to fix that java problem sooner or later.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
HEY! hang on dev LoL

I personally would love to try his signed one, future changes or not. pls upload if you get a chance.

if not, cool, but you already did the signing and I'd love to try it out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
by the way, does apps2sd (assuming it's froyo style at least) work? if so does it need a fat32 formatted single partition sdcard or will it work with my typically formatted 512mb ext3 partition + 1.49mb fat32 + 0.01mb cache sdcard?

just curious so I prevent troubleshooting later on.

if you don't know what it needs then I completely understand (it's just for your own use after all, thanks for putting this public though!)

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
I'll wait for newer version then to try.

One question, is the kernel overclocked, and if so, what speed ?

I've got one of those early Heros that will not do above 691 :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cabaci74:
Dont installation....Error...(No signed installation...594 files)...

...Rom Recovery mod da kurma hatasi veriyor...Geçersiz Dosya dizini...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Please read up a few posts:

I have mentioned that this version isn't signed.

You can sign it yourself, or use eng SPL/clockwork rec.

729MHz

maxsniper has used another kernel to try this out. Ask him which one.

Here's a snippet from a PM I asked him to send me, after preliminary tests:

"

The problem that i'm having is that i can't install any app neether from Market

a part of that the WIFI is working with HotSpot, WPA2 and WEP

Network is ok

GPS is ok

Calling is OK

The ROM is realy fast

TrackBall is blinking when receive a call

"

Looks like I'll have to fix the market issue. I have experienced it myself.

Say tuned for more. (You can safely try this version anyways).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxniper:
I have used villain test kernel for froyd1.0

Sent from my Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sameh_elhakim:
i don't what this rom based on 2.2 or 2.1 ............... please more details cuz i don't want to download something not called froyo :D:D

sry for my english
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I have included the base number in square brackets (that's the bottom-most link).

I will edit the post #1 with content and screenshots in my free time. Don't have much for now.

:/

NOTE to all:

I will have a look at the market issue tomorrow or on Saturday. Work, trainings and friends are keeping me busy.

;]

>EDIT<

Issues till now:

Camera

Steel browser not working; might replace with stock/dolphin

market apps not installing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I have fixed the market failing issue in a private build.

This will be uploaded during the week-end.

I am currently investigating the browser issue; this is linked to a fauty libwebcore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Fixed browser and market issues.

The only pending issue left is camera.

Check post #1 for download link.

You STILL have to sign the update zip yourself, or use Engineering SPL, or Clockwork Recovery.

This is an interim release.

I'm working on a hyper-optimised version; it might be available in the next few days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
nice work :-)

please sign it or get someone else to sign it and upload a link to the flashable version though if it's that far along - people could actually be using it and most of us haven't signed anything before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I would've if I could.

I've totally forgotten to fix it on Friday, and I left my 2nd laptop at work.

For now, I'm busy working on optimising native code, in order to get a still, faster Hero.

^^

I have managed to isolate a few code breakages, but I'm running into some sound issues atm.

The interim rls should be just fine for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I've just upped (and replaced the latest build in post #1) with a highly optimised, but also highly experimental build. To my knowledge, no such build has been previously made on a Hero-like device (dream, sapphire, eris, espresso, etc...).

I have sacrificed rom size for the benefit of performance.

Free RAM is ~100MB on a fully configured system!!

Be warned that you'll have to sign the zip yourself if you don't use clockwork recovery or eng spl.

Download, flash, and leave some feedback.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
notes:

decided easiest solution was to switch to clockwork recovery.

had trouble installing it (not in the market like he says it is), but the apk installer download actually works great. really nice setup. I currently, briefly, prefer it to amon-ra other than it not having bart (bart is great, takes less space than nandroid+ext).

oh and of course I had to backup my sd card, format it (from inside froyo it turns out, got more space that way??), then restore it. only 15 minutes spent doing that, no big deal.

anyway, now I've flashed this rom. other than the imho crappy slow launcher (I do'nt know why anyone would choose it when it's screen updates are dramatically glitchier than launcherpro).

but this is all just a matter of opinion and preference.

the MAIN point is that it was worth it. this is a GREAT rom so far. only just starting to play wiht it, but I'm really digging it. it's just the way I want it (Excpet for launcher which was an easy fix and brut maps which I don't need in canada so that too will be an easy fix when I get around to it).

I'll keep playing but so far, nice, light, quick, reliable, no issues that are new, and a couple of things I prefer.

really happy :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
superuser permission aren't working, first issue Iv'e had (kind of a blocker). root explorer = fail, superuser permissions app = blank, screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
If only you had waited a little longer, I've signed the rom :D

heres the link http://www.multiupload.com/H8ZG05OW3B
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
@dkelley:

thanks for the feedback.

1: I was wondering about using zeam as a launcher, like I used to in my past releases, but decided to stay with stock, unless someone wants to change by himself.

2: I might make a really-naked release and remove Maps altogether, but most ppl rather use that.

3: SUPERUSER issue:

that one is easy to fix; do the following from a command line (assuming you have android SDK installed):

- adb shell rm /system/bin/su

No need to restart

Superuser should work instantly after that.

@djdavis: thanks, but looks like I'll have to post a fixed version (superuser issue) in a few anyways.

;]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Uploaded a new version.

Superuser should be fixed, changed launcher and removed maps, amongst others.

Still unsigned.

O_o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
Ok, I will sign this when I'm home later which will b in the evening
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
amazing, thanks, will flash and try again.

cheers and congrats on this creative, unique, really fast, and really useful froyo rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hahaha, it's ok, I'm seeing pros and cons to clockwork, mostly pros. only con so far is that it doesn't seem to be villain updater friendly (am running latest froyd right now which solves numerous issues really well).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
2 things left on my todo list:

1: further optimise (this will require some time, as I have to deal with multiple code breakages)

2: work on camera
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
can't add my exchange account (it's not even an option under add accounts). another vital thing for me LoL (hopefully shouldn't be a hard fix right? it's a fundamental froyo thing). If it's something simple I'd love to push or linux-command solve it with your instructions please...

and the other things (which I'll try myself to make sure it works) is that there's apparently a very simple single terminal command fix to make all apps pushable to sd card . not the end of the world if it can't happen, but as most of my apps aren't pushable to sd it would be a great little addition. all the other froyo roms have this enabled so it must be relatively simple. hopefully ti's not something that requires big cm6 library changes to your rom, in which case if it's not that simple then it might not be worth your time.

info on the command to push any app to sd under froyo is here:

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/motorola-droid/2795-enable-full-apps-2-sd-froyo-2.html

EDIT: update, this might be the wrong concept. I've read that the fix isn't too hard, but this might be an entirely different topic having read that thread link a bit.

biggest issue:

getting really low linpack scores right now which is weird - clocked at 729, rebooted, but 3.0 linpacks? before reboot was 2.2? should be 5+ linpacks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
heres the signed zip for u all http://www.multiupload.com/QKT7NUGLCY

and for anyone who has a mac, for future reference, this is how i signed the zips http://www.addictivetips.com/mac-os/auto-sign-tool-for-android-developers-on-mac/

its so easy. I'm not gonna be able to do it for the next week as i'll be in Jamaica
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
@djkelley:

1: I don't use Exchange, but I'll have a look at that next week.

2: I have expressedly left that out, since, what would happen should you decide to take your SDcard out?

3: jit: investigating issue.

>EDIT<

I have fixed JIT and will post an updated build (v5) in a few (or tomorrow).

Strangely, the build system was no longer respecting some variables.

>EDIT<

There you go (this has been achieved on a fully booted system, with background apps running):
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow, nice jit results!!! can't wait to try it! I need exchange (As do a ton of people), so even though it's your own build for your own needs I'd hugely be happy if you could add it somehow. the other thing is fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I have fixed JIT.

I have tested it in my private build, which works fine, but also have updated post #1 with an XDA build.

Do check if it flashes and operates correctly.

I don't have the time to do that now, since I gotta catch some sleep.

While flashing, do disable signature verification. I have signed the update, but there might be a problem with the certificate.

I'll take care of Exchange in the next few days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hiya - any idea why your rom's sound quality as a phone is dramatically different from all the other roms? it seems to have no treble, it's very dark and unintelligible sounding, and when I just tried calling my wife she said she couldn't understand anything I said, like it was very quiet and muffled sounding. I tried 3 times and she called me once. I've noticed my voicemail sounds muffled on this rom in the past but this was the first human I tried talking to so now I know how bad it sounds on the other end of the call.

I'm using the same radios as always, either .11 or .14, in this case .14 (I don't recall the rest of the name but it's one of the two everyone recommends for froyo and eclair roms).

Is there a different (maybe much older) radio that you personally use to get good voice sound quality in calls?

I'm going to do some benchmarking tests now to try the new JIT :-)

cheers,

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I am using 6.35.15.14.

I just checked the sound issue out, and I can't find anything.

Ppl I asked told me that they heard me clear.

AudioPara* might play a role(I added a modded version for loud sound), but that would affect ALL handsets. Strange.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
strange. same radio. I've flashed your rom probably 4 times over the past few days, every time it's had that different sound quality to it, like someone turned down the treble control. it didn't bother me too much though until my wife couldn't hear me on the phone today which forced me to flash a different rom for real use :-(

strange indeed.... let me know what if anything I can do to help you debug this issue.

cheers,

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
If you have other roms lying around (for example stock 2.1 HTC Hero), copy over these 3 files from<--->to /system/etc:

AudioFilter.csv

AudioPara4.csv

AudioPreProcess.csv

You should copy them with adb push

Don't forget to chmod afterwards:

adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/Audio*.csv

And reboot.

Let me know how that worked out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
sorry, busy with other roms, will get back to this when I can though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no more updates dev? it's a cool rom, don't give up on it please!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I am not.

;]

I have a lot of things going on lately in real life, which is why I have little time to dev.

2 issues are pending for now:

Camera and Exchange support.

Apart from that, I am working on getting, still, optimising the code, although I have already squeezed as much as I could.

compiler level, linker level, etc etc.

I will be replacing Steel browser with xScope; the latter supports multitouch and has a better organised UI.

As for your Audio issues, PM me in 2h, and I will upload some new Audio*csv, although I didn't have any issues with the current ones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] randology:
so i read that this rom supports higher sdk apps, does this mean i can somehow copy over the necessary files from a 1.6 rom to add universal search in or is it not that simple, thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
bro i made a 480*320 png picture with transparent background but when i set it as lockscreen wallpaper it shows black. it doesnt show as transparent as yours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
in compare with Modaco's 2.9, would you consider it faster / bugs free?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rancor187:
Thanks adwinp.

Hmm I was wondering if your rom is capable of VPN somehow?

€dith: IPsec
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asadji:
Videos dont play

Have come across another problem i.e videos dont play well on this ROM and hence eventually had to go back to Modacco 2.8 since that seems to be the most stable version.

Adwinp: are u working on developing a donut ROM, how about exploring the vanilla ROM for Modacco 2.8?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I'll be adding openvpn in newer versions.

I'll be working on donut sometime this or next week.

2 jobs, trainings, etc. Short on time.

;]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stalvatero:
Not work for me. It reboot continuously...

And I must restore an old back up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Some problems with this ROM

I like the ROM, but have a fee isues.

1) - When I first flashed it, it would boot-loop. This has stopped now, but every so often it will restart all by itself.

2) - If it's been asleep for a bit and I wake it, I get messages like this:

Sorry!

Application WiFi Status(in process.com.schwimmer.

android.wifistatus) is not responding.

Force Close Wait

Sometimes there are several processes flagged up like this.

Any ideas people?

Thanks:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
This might be linked to the process management implementation.

I'll have a look in my free time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xynktrajvl:
this same,

and I know thjs bugs ...

After considering the applications manager, I do not see HTC SENSE app, i think missing installed HTC SENSE

sry, bad English

Hikari do u want new room next update times?? and i waiting for u ^ ^?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fastie:
hi

Yes i'm getting same errors on this rom

something is killing randomly some processes wi0fi status, provider status, clock status etc.

and alarms dont work for me, only when I wake device it starts to sound an alarm but not when asleep.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
Alarms working fine for me. However i am having problems with the new hikari. Htc sense wont boot up for me. So for now using the version posted on the 6th.

Hi adwin, nice work chef. i guess it would be best to name your releases to make updates easier..... e.g hikari 1.0, 1.1, 1.2.... u got me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I'll be working on a new kernel and new releases by the end of the week, as soon as I find some free time.

A.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tisungho:
Hi, thanks for your effort!

New rom without the additional apps could be desirable!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tisungho:
Hi again,

It seems like ebuddy app is missing in market. Could you confirm this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I've ported the 3.03 rom.

Not many changes.

The rom will be uploaded in 6-8h.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmaakhija:
Hey can you upload the 3.03 with Eclair 2.0 icons please. i love those icons:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dhruvzz:
me too.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
where to download eclair icons from??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Upped both versions.

DON'T use 3.03 for everyday use, since it's very slow and unstable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
great! thanks, I'll try to remember to do that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
There you go:

http://rapidshare.com/files/409854784/csv.zip

Copy those over to /system/etc/ via adb

Don't forget to chmod (I posted the instructions a few posts earlier).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow! fast! thanks! Now I have a lunchtime project :-)

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
:-(

strange.

what radio are you running (in settings->phone)?

Pushed the files you sent, absolutely no difference. listening to voicemail gives dark sounding but listenable, definitely dramatically inferior to other roms.

nobody to call so left myself a voicemail over the cel. playing it back it was almost inaudible, so my outgoing voice sound quality is really really bad, to the point of not being usable.

how bizarre is that?

using .14 radio as always, at least I think I am, either that or .11 radio. the two standard ones everyone uses these days it seems.

why would it be good for you but not working for me? totally stock rom, just installed root explorer, setcpu (although haven't tried it yet), and the clockwork rom app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Here's a mirror for the newest version: http://filevo.com/pr0p77q6b3tx.html
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey there, how does the phone call quality sound to people you're talking to on your install of this rom? if it's good, what radio are you running please?

I'd really like to be able to run this for longer than the 20 minutes it takes me to find out that it renders the phone part of my phone unusable LoL. the rest seemed like it performed pretty well...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I've just installed it. I have NO idea :P I'm still trying to figure out how to get that look from the picture on the first page xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haha, I think (but could be wrong) that he used a different launcher for those first images. I know he changed launchers because the first one turned out to perform kind of poorly.

add to that the power widget at the top of the home screen and I think that's what you've got.

but make a phone call, talk to someone or send yourself a voicemail and listen to it. For me, I hear others sounding muffled a bit, and they can hardly hear me at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I don't know what to make of it...

I've been trying to reproduce your issues, and unfortunately, I cannot.

lol

I've tried calling myself from another phone, or vice-versa, and everything's fine.

The only other idea I have, is something linked to operator settings in build.prop

Try the following (I have disabled dtm):

http://rapidshare.com/files/409882890/build.prop

Stability issues?

Strange. I'm using the ROM for days on end without restarts.

I'll check the xda release tomorrow or during the week-end.

I usually test private builds, and repackage for xda releases.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Sounds odd. I'm probably not the guy you should be asking about that because I've NEVER had that problem even with ROMs that has been said to have that problem...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
@adwinp Can I ask you what launcher or whatever you've done for that look?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
These are old screenshots; I did not have a chance to update those.

I was using Zeam as a launcher for the previous releases, but since 3-4 minor versions, I have been using TagHome.

It's small, fast, and has a few desireable features.

I don't like all the mods that have stemmed from launcher2, such as ADW Launcher, Helix and the like.

I personally use Slidescreen. Everything I need is on 1 screen, but I'm waiting for a TATHome release. It looks REALLY promising.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thanks for your reply man! You've really given me a lot to try out :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
i will try that build.prop. I have had zero stability issues by the way, but I haven't been able to run it long enough to know for sure due to the phone call sound quality.

will your rom run properly when an ext partition is found or is it one of the froyo roms where an ext partition is considered something alien and it breaks the rom's ability to see the remaining fat32 partition?

I just added an ext partition which is why I ask, although I can remove it again if that turns out to be the only way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Miridian:
Hi, I have tried your rom.

But my mobile only starts in "safe mode" :confused:

Before i used you rom i was using an old 1.5 modaco rom.

Is it possible to fix it or is my hero broken?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
By "safe mode", you mean fastboot or recovery?

This is a GSM rom, NOT CDMA.

Do you have a CDMA phone?m
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Miridian:
no i have a gsm hero.

I mean this safe mode here :

http://www.technipages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/hero-safe-mode.png

http://myhtcdesire.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/safemode-180x300.png

in this safe mode you cannot start any apps from market :/

I can only see the apps which you have built in the rom but no apps which i install
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow, what's that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Plz upload a full logcat to pastebin.

I'll take a look.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Some people had great trouble to get out of that mode again... When my phone did it, I pushed the buttons at boot, that would trigger the safemode, and then rebooted, then it was normal again :)

Try this: http://www.technipages.com/htc-hero-start-in-safe-mode.html

and then this: http://www.technipages.com/take-htc-hero-out-of-safe-mode.html

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Why would you WILLINGLY enter safe mode?

From your post, I concluded that it was caused by the ROM, which had me really thinking, since there is no way that can be caused by flashing that ROM.

ROM <-> handset mismatch would result in bootloops, bootcrashes, FCs, or reboots to fastboot/recovery in extreme cases, but NEVER safe mode.

...
