Google has installed a kind of filter that takes away copy protected apps from (some) custom ROMs.

The writers of the copy protected Geocaching app describes this here:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
doesn't work for me :(

Location over wireless connections is enabled, but only uses GPS

I get some Expections when I search my location
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] n3utrino:
Did you reboot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
I've done some data speed tests and it looks like we are only getting standard 3g speeds, not HSDPA.

Using http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1 It gives me top speed of some 380kbs. On HSDPA I would get 2-5Mbs.

I'll try it in some more locations that I know I get HSDPA but so far never above the 380 or so.

Anyone else care to try too ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
Exactly the same. I'm not too bothered, as I rarely use mobile internet for anything intensive, but still its a bit anoying
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
I've noticed this too, never appears to connect via HSPDA!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
google seem to have changed nav from their end to stop it working outside the US :/

Also, sort of noob question, why isn't this rom rooted?

Is it because the vulnerabilities from 1.5 that were exploited to root the original hero rom have been patched? Are the dream roms only rooted because they are using bits of 2.0 but are not based on a standard 2.0 build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
when dev 2.0.1 comes out (any day) will this rom be updated to support that? (finally can port the htc browser!!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
multiple times ...

google nav is another problem ;)

It is rooted ;)

but the Su Permission app is not included ;)

you can install it yourself if you want to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
I too cannot get network location to work. I've tried pushing and rebooting multiple times.

Tomorrow morning I should have time to wipe the phone and try again. Maybe if I push network location along with everything else it will work.

I really love this rom though. The transitions and graphics are simple but cute. HTC sense seems too Windows Mobile now. Or maybe I just get bored easily :)

Anyway, this ROM works ok for me day to day. I'm using gmail on imap(checking every 15 mins) rather than exchange sync to save on battery so battery life is good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
I've lost track of what works and what doesn't, for what there is a workaround and for what there isn't. So I've created a public wave named "AOSP Eclair 2.0 ROM for HTC Hero", with the tags "Android", "Eclair" and "ROM".

Please come in and help me edit it :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
help me ;)

You can find it with this search term ;)

with:public "Android Eclair AOSP for HTC Hero!"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Aha. Glad u posted that search else I'd have no idea :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:

I couldn't get the gps working... is there something special I have do do ti get it alive? Waited for Google maps to find my position for ages!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
GPS works for me.

because AGPS wont work the GPS needs longer...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vittula:
Thanks for great work. Havent run to any bigger problems. Market, gps etc works fine. Stable enough for daily use.

Thanks again.

White top task bar would be nice ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
???????isnt the taskbar already white in AOSP eclair?? are you sure you flashed the correct rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
Is it possible to install flash player 10 on AOSP roms?

Can't find something about it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
I might be wrong about this, but I believe the Flash player is a proprietary goodie, so probably not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
2.0 AOSP got white top bar. 2.1 htc sense edition got black top bar.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vittula:
Oh damn, must have been too tired last night :D Wrong threat :S

Was ment to Hikari's. Sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mopodo:
it's proprietary, but we can also install market, google maps, etc. they are proprietary too.

tried to push the flash libaries from modaco 3.0 to /system/lib but nothing changed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
Have to report same problem without sync..might be some more general problem. I had no problems with clean system, but when I installed apps which do some sync, like seesmic, facebook etc, I got one day lifetime.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
At the same time though, the HTC stuff doesn't work, I've not successfully got HTC Music running on AOSP for instance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Live outside the US and wants latest Google Maps with Navigation working ?

Tested and works on my phone in UK.

Try this :

http://ul.to/9mi9vu/maps3.3.1-by-directions-root.apk

And this code to uninstall standard Google Maps and install this version:

adb remount

adb shell find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk -delete

adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

adb install -r maps3.3.1-by-directions-root.apk

adb reboot

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] E2K:
THis rom is THE ULTIMATE.

Okay, my battery drains very fast, and it crashes but still.

For the first time ever, I am happy with my phone.

It feels like new, only better. No more bull**** htc music player.

THe android 1.0 music player has so much more features, it's unbelievable.

Hi everyone

When will come out full version this rom ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
For those of you worrying about battery life, try

http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1528

its the same 2.0 rom, but with sync working, and generally running better. Also got all the protected apps in the market :)

Lox has said no more dev on this rom until the official 2.0.1 sdk release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Actually, I wouldn't recommend the AOSP 2.0.1 over Lox's original one, apart from Sync working it's been much more unstable for me so far, and has a few issues like Youtube/video playback not working and speaker output not resuming after having headphones plugged in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andres_ontur:
if it had sense, I would install it....because sense has better-looking than android only.

i´m waitting eclair with it.

bye!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mangavideo:
You're not very bright, are you?

The purpose of being AOSP is to be clean of any modifications made by the manufacturers. If you want Sense, try Behnaam & Lox's ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
from twitter:

Lox is working on this ROM again. Seems like pretty much everything is getting fixed. Looking forward to this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
cant w8 for this release!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
yup..waiting for this....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
If anyone feel's up to compiling their own ... myself and jnwhiteh have been working on this for the last while..

Following http://source.android.com/download and using this manifest instead of the one on that page will get you started... http://github.com/kiall/android_platform_manifest

You'll need to dig out lots of prop files tho :) We'll release an update.zip in a week or so...

Lox - Get what you've got on github already ... no point in everyone re-inventing the wheel!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] autocuiseur:
I am wondering why the kernel doesn't have multicast enabled in this version (AOSP-Eclair-2.0 beta1) and also in other versions of Android Eclair for Hero.

It can be seen in /proc/net/config.gz ( # CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set).

Multicast is explicitly integrated in the Android API since SDK 1.6 (there is e.g. WifiManager.MulticastLock in android.net.wifi).

Is there any reason to disable it in the kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
It's because HTC have not included it in their kernel build and we don't have the sources for the 2.6.29 hero kernel yet to recompile it and turn it on...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frandavid100:
Would it be possible to have two separate threads for this? One for devs to discuss technical matters, and another for us followers to ask our doubts without interrupting the dev thread?

Here it is on my hero ;)

How did you manage to get radio signal working? It doesn't work for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] c4software:
Simply... in reading the Topic. Disable your pin code
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
what is the pin code??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
he means your pin-number of your SIM-Card..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
No problems on UK-T Mob. Picked up network no problem.

Wi-Fi works, really love the new browser.

Actually think its not too bad having no google contact sync - It always seemed to overwrite mine with old random ones :(

Overall, love :)

I've compiled a 2.0r1 bld today, but as I see it, we still have to replace a lot of msm7k/qualcomm glue.

[performance idea] - maybe use the 4.4.1 toolchain (android-default, prebuilt, git-pulled uses 4.4.0)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] c4software:
I have seen in the Video, in the About Android seems not detect correctly the "Phone Number" its maybe why the Google Sync doesn't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] E2K:
Can you access your (3g) data account from T Mobile, or did you need to input extra settings?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
This is AOSP, therefore Google Sync isn't a part of the ROM. We'd need to use a method similar to Cyanogen to get those apps and glue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danibjor:
Aah.. finally installed this ROM.. Nice to see Eclair on the Hero :D

Phone - I can make outgoing calls - but can't hang up. Also, incomming calls dont work. The one that rings says it's ringing.. but nothing happends on this end.. :confused:

SMS - It displays a message that the SMS could not be sendt when sending messages.. But the reciever get's the message.. Recieving messages works fine :)

How do i get Market installed? (or should I not ask this) :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
It's already been asked in this thread.. you can try to install the apk directly.. but you'd need a copy of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
Ok guys, thank you all for your thanks and bug reports but it is not time for it. As said, it is a alpha release for development only. So it is not time for thanks and bug reports. In all 4 pages of comments I can't see any bug fix submission or any great idea to solve any problem.

I understand your enthusiasm as I am really excited too. I do that development

for me

, when I have time. I just share it. Don't ask for progress, if there is any, I'll share it.

I we can't have real and clean development thread here on the "Hero android development" forum, I will keep my early rom releases for myself and will have to go with the bull**** that is 'private testing'. I don't think any of you wants that. Please understand that there are so many bugs in an alpha release that I can notice them myself ...

PLEASE WAIT FOR THE ROM TO REACH RELEASE STATUS.​

That said, back to dev.

I will release soon, on github, ALL configuration files for Eclair compilation. I need to test them on a clean eclair source tree before releasing. But for now I face lots of network errors synchronizing android source tree since a couple of days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
completely understand :)

if you want / need, i can host dev forum, downloads etc on my domain...

just let me know, since i cant contribute with coding, i can provide space :)

I am quite optimist on making some hardware work:

Bluetooth:

The DBUS daemon is running:

bluetooth 42 1 1096 576 c00bd4b8 afe0d87c S /system/bin/dbus-daemon

Compass accelerometer daemon is running too:

compass 46 1 1052 436 c0258950 afe0ca7c S /system/bin/akm8973

and detects hardware:

D/SensorManager( 69): found sensor: BMA150 3-axis Accelerometer,

handle=0

D/SensorManager( 69): found sensor: AK8973 3-axis Magnetic field sensor, handle=1

I/EventHub( 69): New device: path=/dev/input/event4 name=compass id=0x10000 (of 0x1) index=1 fd=52 classes=0x0

D/SensorManager( 69): found sensor: AK8973 Orientation sensor, handle=2

D/SensorManager( 69): found sensor: AK8973 Temperature sensor, handle=3

But here is an error about compass:

I/KeyInputQueue( 69): Ignoring non-input device: id=0x10000, name=compass

For trackball, I think this is the error:

I/KeyInputQueue( 69): Ignoring non-input device: id=0x100he 02, name=hero-nav

Some logs: ps, logcat, dmesg

Any idea how I can get this to at least boot on the CDMA hero? I was thinking of replacing the kernel in the boot.img but then I figured the kernel is probably totally different. When I try to boot I get stuck at the first HTC screen so I am assuming it's a boot thing. Any ideas for me?

anybody help me

Gsm Part doesnt work

what can ı do

Iam from turkey
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
first off, you could read the whole topic. Lox clearly states that he doesn't want questions like this in his dev threat. But if you read page 2 you might get it working by yourself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barisd@gmail.com:
I couldnt :( Gsm part

everyone I want to ask something?

how did you install Eclair 2.0 on your phone ?

I changed the file name to update.zip and then restart the phone and I hold home and on/off button

and I chose update from sd card "update.zip"

is that ok?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barisd@gmail.com:
I read the page and I did what you said but unfortunately it seems that the gsm part is not working. Also, when I ring my own number, altough my mobile is switched on and within the coverage area, it rings but I cant see it on the mobile itself.

I would appreciate it if you could give me more guidance on the matter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
there is no more guidance on that matter, the gsm part currently dosent work like it should... this is an ALPHA version, or currently just a proof of concept...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
I'm in the same boat. Not sure what I did wrong since I use the same method as any other ROM...or is there something special about this one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] c4software:
Lox have you ask Drizzy, Cyanogen, dzo to get some help i know this people don't own an Hero but he already made some good things on android he maybe can help?

but by the way. In /dev/class/* you seen all peripheral of the Hero ? trackball, accelerometers, etc... if its the case its just missing some piece of code on android. i don't have my hero right now to test some things but when i get mine i will look it in this direction.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
is there any new status update on this rom? it seems like it went quiet for a bit...lol been really anticipating android 2.0, been checking every day for a new working rom, ahhhhhh
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnwhiteh:
Don't bother looking every day, we're quite a way off from having a working rom of 1.5, 1.6 or 2.0. We're working on it =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiall:
Sadly - He's 100% right! We have a *crapload* of issues getting AOSP 1.5 compiled for the hero - and thats with the stock HTC kernel ... nevermind the .29 kernel required for 1.6 and 2.0!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:

this is probably expected, but what is this missing libaray...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farfooz:
same browser form works. i have a question, i tried adding google apps manually from a deodexed motodroid rom and when i adb install i get for some of them like GmailProvider.apk and Talk.apk the error [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]. what does that mean? am i doing something wrong? because when i got to my phone no google apps show up in the drawer but in manage applications Gmail exists. but not the provider...:confused:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
as far as i can tell, by comparing the lib folder from the lox release, and another AOSP G1 eclair release (dont remeber wich) the missing libs in the lox release is:

libagl.so

libdmengine.so

libdmjavaplugin.so

libHPImgApi.so

libmetainfo.so

libmot_atcmd_mflex.so

libmot_atcmd.so

libmotdb.so
