We have live wallpapers running on a build of 2.0.1, tried it out, very laggy and the Nexus wallpaper doesn't work :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] afazel:
The only thing that's been holding me back on this one is the camera. I have a 7 month old, and both parents need functioning cameras that never leave our side :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
toast ~ Can you look into the Gmail - Push mail. I know I had some issues with not gettting mail pushed....only when I hit the refresh button. Here is some discussion I brought up a while back:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulermon:
I dont believe we have opengl functioning in 2.0.1 atm so that could be why it was laggy the new photo gallery was laggy before but toast said its working abit better now that opengl was working
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
I second this. thats my main use on the phone next to texting.. Need fully functional gmail.. thats the only reason I dont use this.. and the Mail app from htc sux
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Yea, this happens on my phone as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulermon:
this is just a joke that i have made but...i never use my camera but this is my fear something stupendous will happen and i wont be able to use my camera in time... that picture is the explanation

[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I've always thought the same thing would happen to me if I flashed a 2.0 ROM but in my version it's a UFO!

I wish I were joking about this but I'm not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PikkonX:
Lmao, I've always had that same exact fear when leaving the house with a 2.0+ build on my phone. I even let the GF know beforehand that my camera is not working and if something amazing happens I'm relying on her Sanyo SCP-2700 :D.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Looks like I'll have to start carrying my "camera" camera around now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Unrelated to the camera, using facebook sync in this rom, how do i only link up contacts that are already in my list, and NOT every single facebook friend. That's a big set back for me.. I've searched the forum, but couldn't find any help. If its already been solved, could you point me to the link?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wakeboarder1335:
I had the same problem. Not sure if there is a fix or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
same here, the only fix i've found is DON'T SIGN IN at the beginning setup, but wait then use the facebook app. so its

programs/facebook/menu(hardkey)/settings/sync contacts then choose sync with existing contacts. "sync data only about friends already in contacts"

i think that'll do it, i'm running this rom atm but i forgot and signed in during setup. but it's ok i only have around 80 friends on there anyway :D

EDIT: alright after looking into this more, then looking into it more more this isn't really a fix at all. actually it doesn't do anything good only bad things. lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
That is really good info! Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Thank you :)

Gonna flash and try it now...

EDIT:

Pictures never showed up and it took all of the contact info about them off of facebook and merged it with what was already in my contacts, so I had duplicate numbers and emails for all of my contacts :p

oh well.. maybe next time haha

trying to be really patient for the release with MT and opengl working cuz I want this rom sooooooo bad!!!!

I'm anxiously awaiting to test this rom out..... I keep telling myself that good things come to those who wait.... Keep up the good work devs!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Its a great rom as it is. I put the gbhil kernel in this thing and it flew. I am currently testing the cyanogen port that was just released but this was my daily rom for weeks if not months.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] maejrep:
I got LiveWallpapers to work in this ROM, but the framework.jar that was used in this ROM was before the sdk-level 7 framework was released, which means it didn't have support for LWP, and some of the calls fail. I can hack around that by shoehorning the individual LiveWallpaper apk's to use the existing wallpaper API that is in our framework.jar, and that lets the Live Wallpapers picker work (with no thumbnail or descriptions), and the wallpapers can render, and can be set as wallpaper.

A few problems still exist:

1) most of the drawables in the stock wallpapers are only for hdpi devices, and ours is mdpi (lower resolution). I was able to copy the hdpi graphics into mdpi, but that means we're using graphics that are intended for a bigger display, and can cause some performance issues. I can scale down the larger graphics for use on mdpi devices, which can help with some of the performances issues.

2) Some of them don't actually result in anything being drawn, or are drawn very very slowly (i.e., not usable). Water displays but is very laggy, and not worth looking at. Galaxy seems like it's missing something, looks very strange, and I'm guessing it's incorrect. Nexus displays nothing, Grass displays nothing. Pretty much the only one that is reasonably usable right now is MagicSmoke.

3) because I had to modify the LWP themselves, in order to work on this ROM, other LWPs (ie, from the market) WILL NOT work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
Keep up the grand work guys..I don't know what's what, but I was a part of the Vogue-Android community before getting a Hero..I dropped back in the other day and they apparently have LWP working on their Vogues. mssmison over there has apparently rewritten n optimized the app to work on lower resolution devices..

FTR..i'm not comparing or doubting your sheer awsomeness..i just know collaboration is the mother of.....well it's somebody's mama
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Hell, with all that you guys've done, I'm more than grateful. I know I could never do this myself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] maejrep:
Cool, thanks for the tip. I saw another post in the G1 forum where someone had tweaked a few of the LWP apps to run on the G1 (even slower than ours!). Right now I'm porting the latest renderscript API from 2.1 repo into our framework, with the help of toastcfh. We can't just up and replace framework.jar, due to Rosie and other HTC crap. But renderscript is one of those "safe to blow away" things, because HTC's ROM didn't use RS at all (obviously).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
lock screen

I was messing around with the HtcLockScreen.apk, and I ended up removing it (on purpose), realizing that the Android lock screen shows up when it's removed. Unfortunately, the lockscreen is clear, having no background behind it. anyone know how to add the "albums" into 2.1, or just get a background behind it? whenever I go to settings > personalize > change lock screen and choose albums, a FC of htc launcher comes up. any ideas?

hasnt been posted yet thats what we are all waiting on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
ahh ok ill check back then
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
Will this still be espresso when you release the new one or will it be old style rosie again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
hopefully still esspresso I find the original rosie to be incredibly bland, annoying, and intrusive now that I have been running an esspresso rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Leukay:
I tend to switch back and forth haha. Once I get used to one, I think it is bland, and I switch. Currently I am loving the espresso look again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
lol I tried switching back to stock rosie but when I did I just thought it looked really bulky and just not as sleek.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
True True...espresso is quite sleek and now with the zoom out expose thing we dont even really need the slider bar anymore.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sleejay:
will we be able to use setcpu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
never was a fan of that slide bar I always knew how my screens where set so its not an important feature for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 27s:
@Sleejay

If You use Gbhils Specific 2.1 kernel, then yes, you can use setCPU, and before you ask where the download is, it is right on the projects first post.

-Matt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
ill add the config settings to my kernel to allow setcpu to work. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rulermon:
any idea how long till all your great updates to the rom will be released?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] afazel:
They're probably this close to getting the camera working, and wants to wait for that to update with the new ROM ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
deeto..not to rush, but if you care to release any form of testing/alpha version i for one (sure others would agree) would be much obliged..i don't care about LWPs, camera, bluetooth, or any o' that. As long as i have a phone that can make n receive calls I'm good to test...that's what nandroid is all about!! I just gotta see this multi-touch n opengl!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whatsleft4her:
How soon til we see a release the all mighty toast?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Dudes, just calm down and allow toast to release when he is ready. There is no need to keep pushing him for a release.

Basically from what I read the camera and visual vcml are the only things now working atm correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Correct... but also the gmail sync issue. I'm looking into it and the mms issue at the moment for some people. On that note... maejrep thinks gmail may just be an issue with this Rom. Cyanogen's Rom apparently has this same issue. None the less I'm looking at it. Also today I got some leads on the camera and looking further into it also. In the mean time I'm cleaning up the build and testing it. Plus being a dad and husband. So please everyone give me a chance to square all this away. Thanx guys :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
You tell em Super Toast!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
im not being mean man.. its just what im doing honestly. i wanna hurry up and be done but its alot to do. plus i wanna make **** right for u guys and not have to come back and fix **** again and hear about it till i do :p but yeah just give me some time guys im tryin :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gravesy56:
[SARCASM]YOU ARE BEING MEAN YOU BIG OLD MEANY!!!! IF I WAS WORKING ON THIS I WOULD HAVE IT DONE BY NOW[/SARCASM]....lol I had to bring levity to the situation man.

Keep up the great work; as an aside have you or flipz tooled around with BT data transfer at all with 2.1? Any info would be great seeing that you guys will more than likely deliver before Sprint does lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whatsleft4her:
well some of us like myself were just looking for an update not trying to rush you we like to know what to expect and see if we can help in anyway with things. thats all im sorry if you feel we were rushing you, didnt mean for it to be like that!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
no its not like that and im not mad upset or anything. im on my computer going through ****. anyhow i was just letting u guys know what the hold up was and giving u guys info on what im doing. sorry if i came off mad or rushed. im not. but i want to get this out sooner then later and im tryin to get other stuff working too. im not offended by anything thats been said so please dont take it like im mad or something cuz im not.:p im stoked and other **** is coming together too. so that gets me even more stoked. im glad all of u guys support this rom and look forward to a release and with that i look forward to releasing. just givin u guys the down low thatsa all. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
bt.. hmm well what the issue with it. sorry but my wifes eris and my heroc are the only bt devices i own(besides my winmo devices) lol. anyhow explain... can i test and debug this issue with what i have?:D i just know bt starts and pairs. sorry. let me know and ill look into it thanx :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kraminc:
Id like to say excellent work. This is now my favorite ROM. I have noticed that voice search is not included and have been unable to add it. Anyone have this working?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I've got a Heroc, and my girlfriend has a Heroc. If you need someone to try and push files through BT, I'd be glad to help. Use this as my Daily, works great.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
eh do it !!! lol let me know what happens

:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
Thanks for looking at the Gmail sync for me toastcfh. Being a very busy sys admin i get all sorts of server alerts I need instantly. U the man once we open this data center I should have time to assist in kernel porting but honestly i haven't even compiled one for our devices as of yet
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Philosophy757:
*I know this is a bit off topic* Toast is right. And I pirate a RACK of ****. But on here I feel like I am getting something that the company that supports my device is not able to give me at the moment, for whatever reason, etc. Is there anyway that we can set up some type of pool account for the devs that we can make donations to? Or maybe they can pick a charity or something that we can all donate to in the name of? Either way, their work needs something other than just prop forum posts....*(Back to set up phone and play fable 2...lol)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junior5487:
I was looking at some of the Hero GSM roms and noticed that there camera works but only on 3MP I believe. Could that be something we need to do with ours? Just an observation dont know if its relevant
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Alright, me running 1.8 paired succesfully with her Fresh 1.1

What's a good file pushing app?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
ah good point... yeah man they have a leaked .29 kernel that came in the original leak of this rom. which is why in their Hero 2.1 rom everything works(except some of the buggy apps) and in their aosp roms the camera only works at 3m because in this rom there are aditional frameworks that aosp doesnt have. at the same time as of now they havent been able to port the htc frameworks into their aosp builds. so yeah that answers that in a nutshell. but there is a down fall to their leaked kernel. from what i understand the battery life really sux and it runs really slow. the funny part is aside from the camera weve caught up and passed their .29 kernel with our .27 kernel. and we have the ability to add to our kernel things like compcash and ramswap also squashfs and other things to speed up the device. so dont get all sad when u see them pimping that camera. they pay a price for having that camera. we will have one in time. thats for sure ;) and when sprint finally dfoes release their build of 2.1 we will prolly be using our .27 kernel untill we can forwardport to .29 or the release .29 source.

ps: using the gsm .27 source in 2.x roms leaves them with no jogball, opengl,multitouch,or sensors. we have all that working using our .27 kernel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
thats becuase they dont have you and maejrep working on their build you guys are just frikin sweet!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
But yeah if you need a beta tester or anything, I'm free when I'm not working.

Unfortunatly, I work alot lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gravesy56:
No worries sorry for not explaining I'm unable to push contact data over bluetooth to my car NAVI address book so I can have a phonebook while in BT mode:cool:

Tried several ways from Sunday but wanted to see if basic data transfer usecase could work first since I didn't have any other BT devices in my possession.

Hope this better explains sorry for the original newb explanation lol; been a long day.

Back on topic. If have access to other Hero's (all running stock) if you want me to try anyting. And not affraid to brick the phone. If I can do ANYTHING to help (as in be a test subject) please let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lazyvegaskid:
i gave up the camera just because your rom is sooooo fckin amazing, ill wait until the camera comes patiently since i carry a camera allday anyways but once we get it back this will be better than sliced bread.... or a drunken night in las vegas haha

keep up the good work devs and next time your in town send me a PM and drinks on me =]

I might be interested in switching to this ROM instead of using GUMBO 1.5c...

What does NOT work on this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
Well once they post the new build all that we will have left to fix is camera. They might be waiting to upload it until we have some basic camera function though so in that case everything would be working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amot:

Just plug in the USB cable to your comp, then go to Settings > Wireless & Network (i think that's it, im running fresh at the moment) > go to the bottom and check Mobile Network Sharing. Should turn it on right away
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Nothing happens though, it says the mobile sharing is enabled on the phone, but my computer can't connect to the internet through it. I was able to get wireless tether working pretty well, but usb tethering would be nicer, it doesn't suck down my battery

BTW im running windows 7 32 bit, htc sync is installed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
somebody needs to edit the thread title to include a fictional release date for like a month from now so we don't get people asking the SAME question without bothering to read the page their viewing or at least the page before. christ people could you be any more lazy? lol

anybody else notice these messages while debugging :

<6>[ 152.034210] pmem: requested data from file descriptor that doesn't exist.<

3>mpd_ppp: could not retrieve src image from memory

I think this is inside the boot.img file some way.

Edit: should be inside the boot.img file...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
So I'm working on fresh rom 0.7 for the time being but I stumbled across something for you or anyone else to look in to if you want to try it:

From 1.5:

# compass/accelerometer daemon
service akm8973 /system/bin/akm8973

And from 2.0:

# compass/accelerometer daemon
service akmd /system/bin/akmd

You can either edit the boot.img/ramdisk/init.heroc (that's where I found it) or take the easier way out which should also work (if it's going to even work) and just delete /system/bin/akmd from the phone, copy over akm8973 from 1.5 and create a symlink that points to it from akmd.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I tried this. Basically I renamed the akmd file to akmd-old and copied the akm8973 file and renamed it to akmd. Phone booted up but when setup loaded it gave me a com.process.phone force close and when it got to the homescreen it completely locked up. It may have been another change I made but I don't know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
My IQ raises slightly everytime I visit this thread. I am still new to the droid scene and reading my old Linux stuff from college. PLEASE IF YOU GUYS NEED ANYTHING FROM ME LET ME KNOW! I am not above bricking my phone. I have insurance, worse case scenario is I go run it over with my car and send in the pieces and a Fifty dollar check.

In the mean time, I will be hacking into HTC to get the rom :D

EDIT:

Not sure if the Civic will do much damage....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
I'm gonna try to manually put it in. The strange thing is... that when I'm trying to compile the .29 kernel akm8973 causes me issues. I wonder... lots of work tonight for sure. I'm gonna stab every module into this thin and see what happens. Fun fun
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Makes you think that has something big to do with it. Good find.
