Ditto on the battery drain. Still, for a beta its a brilliant rom. Nice work lox!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] E2K:
Can any1 check the processor speed?

I get full 528 MHz all the time, this is what's draining the batter I think.

Also, I NEED to change the homescreens from 10 to 3, I only need 3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
Personnaly my battery has never last so long: more than 24hours after charging still 50% left. Than never happened to me with other roms....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ftdm.mav:
me too :):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Repp:
Saw some others on google wave with full clock speed all the time too. Haven't checked myself, but I don't have any battery issues either.

You could always use Launcher+ tried it for a while and I liked it... but then I found Home++ :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madwolfchin:
Tried this ROM

What I like

Very stable, and fast

Great UI better than Sense

40+M This is the smallest I have seen, Super

Some complain

1) Battery life, Almost half that of default

2) Google street view is not working, but that is the same with all 2.0 2.1 build

3) Uses only 3G for datatransfer no HSDPA

4) Camera not working at 5M
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IroniX2:
This is f##king great!!! It has to be the best 2.X rom ever!! It's Fast, not buggy, and does not drain battery!!!( for the battery life you just need to kill enought apps..)

I hope no one minds but i combined a cupple pieces of LOX's 2.8 to add a working alarm clock, gallery, market and maps ( no credit on me for that )

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!!

(REQUEST: could you maby add the htc rext autocomplete so make writing just that mutch easyer, thanks)

Again, THANK YOU!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _nikko:
Try run speedtest. I also have only 3G mark in my screen, but download speed is 600kbs without wifi.

My battery doesn't drain faster than before, mut charging takes double time. Charging from 0% to 100% takes allmost four hours but when i used MCR it took about 1.5h.

Anyway, only one thing bugs me. When I type something in internet the keyboard lags pretty much.

OMG Thank You so much! This thing is the most stable v2 ROM yet, I love it. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Repp:
I read somewhere about some rom that it (that other rom) couldn't show the "H" icon. Could it be the same here? Is the "H" icon a part of Android or just a HTC addon?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
To get a working backup, that backup is enough. But you will lose all your sms's, settings, software and every change you have made to your phone since you did the nandroid backup.

So I recommend you do a new nandroid. It's fast and easy.

Why did i get a : "/system/app/Gmail.apk: permission denied"

while doing stuff like: adb shell rm /system/app/*Gmail*

I want to remove Gmail Icon as the mail app is great...

EDIT:

ANSWER: i had to do this before: adb remount
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
There is one thing i don't understant.

I have seen that the Hero keybord is easy to transfert on this rom.

Why is it impossible with the contacts.apk??? I really miss the Facebook Synch and smart dialing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steelerdean:
I believe the 'H' icon is something HTC added. Stock Android will only show a 3G icon if I remember correctly, but will still transfer at HSDPA speeds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
How did u get 10 homescreens ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dchadwick:
I have the Sprint CDMA hero but I pulled this one apart and added in the bits to make it run on my phone. I just have to say that I like it allot.

Its fast and stable. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
Because contacts is cooked into sense, and wont work without it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkymedes:
For me, everything working fine but I feel that the phone consumes more battery then normal and it's more sluggish, specially between menus and switching apps.

The only thing really is the Camera that FC quite often

Anyway, great job so far for a beta.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
Thanks, does this Rom not have smart dialing? Also will I lose my contacts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duanes:
@ Lox_Dev

Lox_Dev, normally I don't full forums with bigg up's, bit seeing what u did with this ROM I just had to.

I'didn't loose my contacts, the sync with google works fine, but fyi there is no smartdailing...

The first time I upgraded it was quite sluggish as well, here's what I did:

Accesses your picasa web albums too, very useful!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkymedes:
Gonna try your tip and will come later for the results. Thanks :)

Actually, I just remembered. What I'm really missing is multi-touching :/ Browsing without it is painful.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkymedes:
Youtube works for me, and very well actually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
install the dolphin browser from the market. it is even better than the stock one IMHO with multitouch enabled
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] T0pp3r:
Hi all!

Great ROM actually! Stable, and enouth smooth for 24/7 use.

But it is said that we can add a dictionnary to the stock IME keyboard, because it is a pain for me to text people because of i'm writing in french and we use accent ... and it's painfull to get them by holding '.' ect...

So, if someone can copy/paste an 'how to' to do it, i think it's already explained in google wave thread (i don't have any invitation)

Thinks a lot!

if someone have an invitation left for google wave, i'm in ! just pm ty !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Yes!

The keyboard without any dictionnary is useless!

I cannot even write an sms.

Please do something!

How do you get it to access picasa ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
The gallery usually crashes on me. So does Goggles from time to time. Anyway, when's an update coming?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomfreay:
It just loaded my web albums automatically, had to wait 10 seconds or so before they showed up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carblanco:
In Accounts and Synchronization -> manage accounts, select your google account and then you can choose to sync Calendar, Contacts, Picasa Web Albums and Gmail.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bryanchapman9999:
Got it now. I use a google apps account for contacts, calendar and email. Now I've added my other google account I've not got it syncing picasa.

Many thanks

Can't wait for the update... does anyone know when?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jabbypants:
If you get Better Keyboard and use that you can text as normal as it has its own dictionary, worked for me anyway.

Yeah camera worked once for me, dunno where it saved the photo to mind.

Havem't tested bluetooth yet.

Any chance of update to 2.0.1 or 2.1 please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duanes:
You have to set the camera to 3MP then it will work....

Bluetooth is still a problem...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
This ROM is amazing and I really love it, but is anyone else experiencing intermittent GPS with this ROM? Copilot was intermittent for me on a journey the other day and then Buddy Runner was intermittent with me today too! It cut out toughly 50% of my recorded journey at different stages. Just trying to work out if this is the ROM or not as I didn't get the problem with Modaco.

I am also recently using sweeter home preview 2 so could that be affecting it at all?

Apart from that and the camera I love this ROM and look forward to the update!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carblanco:
Lox,

I think that my battery issues are relationship with account sync (if turned on the battery lives for few hours) and/or with wifi (is like it doesn't turn off wifi when idle).

Anyway, great ROM, when will be the next version available?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cymru:
Did you say by turning off sync the battery lasts longer? Mine just about makes it to 16 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carblanco:
Yes, a lot more, like 2x.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Repp:
I have sync on and mine lasted for 30 h yesterday/today and I had been listening to music, making phone calls and texting. Do you have a lot of background processes that fetches data?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cymru:
Well ive turned sync off now so ill see how it goes. I have the weather/news widget on the home screen too. A major culprit of battery drainage?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Repp:
I have it too (weather only) and it is set to refresh every hour.

...I just thought of something it could be. I have overclock widget and it is set to 128 when the screen is off. When I tried this, I remember that I noticed that the battery lasted longer. Could that be it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cymru:
No, im not setting anything to overclock my CPU...

With my sync disabled and the weather/news updating every 6 hours ive already noticed a difference. Cheers guys
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkymedes:
hoping for a next release soon :) loving this rom so far
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wrsg:
Is the latest google maps working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
If you uninstall Google Maps and then reinstall from the Market, the latest version will indeed be working!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
Repp meant that the phone was underclocked (from ~512 to 128) when the screen was off, which should reduce battery drain. I've done this also, and manage about 30 hours, with music playing etc etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carblanco:
before doing a clean install with firstflash, CKdroid1.4 and googlebits I had the weather widget, where has it gone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxld:
Is root not working only for me? When it comes to "su allow" or deny I have a blank black screen.

issue w 1.1.1

First, want to say thanks. KaguDroid 1.1 is currently my fave ROM by far.

I installed 1.1.1 (did a wipe, coming from Villain 1.0) last night, and noticed that I am occassionally getting FC on 'acore' process sometimes when homescreen auto-adjusts the orientation landscape/portrait.

Don't recall that happening w 1.1; but maybe I just didn't use it enough? Other than that, everything is solid. This thread might get quiet because of no issues to report. HTC should release Kagu as the official vanilla for Hero! ;oP

I installed an app from the Market called 'SyncMyPix' and it grabs all my Facebook contacts photos. Between that and 'Beautiful Widgets', who needs SenseUI?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
is this rom better than the villan 1.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
First i have a GSM Hero

I flashed KaguDroid first without a wipe after that i wiped completely and flashed it again. After this i tried to go into recovery but it doesn't worked so i booted into hboot by replacing batterie, pressing home+back and insert battierie again, in hboot i press menu (it was the only option) and flashed the device (it doesn't change anything) now i have a fully working KaguDroid Rom (it's pretty well...but i want to ga back to save some data and falsh KaguDroid Again :()

When i now want to go to recovery via adb shell reboot bootloader i got "operation not permitted"

so i tried the one klick hack method but the flashrec doesn't work (i cannot flash a new recovery image :( )

So again...i need help:(

Edit: when i shut it down and try to went into recovery by pressing Home and Power i only get the image with an exclamation mark and the mobile phone infront of it:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duanes:
1.1.3 is out....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bt1980:
Is this a problem that you had 'after' applying KaguDroid? Or have you not put the Recovery Image on yet?

I recall I couldn't flash the recovery image to my Telus Hero until I did a goldcard/downgrade to RUU 2.73.405.5.

I'd try maybe an RUU to an official generic HTC ROM, then try recovery flasher.

Depends. This ROM is cleaner and more stable than Villain; but it is vanilla (no HTC apps or widgets). Market and Network Location are 100% working. There is voice input available through the keyboard to any text field.

To fill in some missing functionality of HTC widgets, you may want to grab 'SyncMyPix' for facebook contact photos, and a clock/weather widget like 'Beautiful Widgets'

To me, Kagu is the best ROM i've tried so far (and I actually like the Sense UI; but this is so good that I can live without it).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] culturelol:
Does it have exchange?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bt1980:
Exchange appears in Accounts & Sync settings; but I don't use it so I can't test it - I use Gmail for personal mail + contacts, and IMAP mail for work.

If the built-in functionality doesn't work, maybe an app will:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Put the recovery Image on? what did you mean? until now i used everytime the commands

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img (which was located in my android SDK folder...)

than i was in the recovery menu, when i try this now i only get "operation not permitted"

so i want to know how i can go back into a recovery menu to flash another ROM or the KaguDroid Update ;) (i like the ROM but i want to stay flexible for Updates!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bt1980:
Sorry, I meant try FlashRec to put Recovery Image on again:

http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec

I would also be sure to re-download Amon_RA 1.5.2 just to be sure there is nothing wrong with the file you already have.

If that doesn't work, I'd maybe try flashing an RUU official generic ROM and then try putting the recovery image back:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559622

Not to make light of the situation; but at least if you're stuck... it's a pretty good ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Jeeehaa, i found my fault:

i try to reboot via adb but i got "operation not permitted" and going into fastboot via back and power brings my in hboot but without the possibility to load into recovery image

now i agree with usb debugging in android developement and now i can boot into recovery while using hboot :)

thank you all for your help!

I've got a big Problem and don't want to wipe again to try.

I did:

wipe

install Kagudroid

install Googlebits

start

setting up the phone completely

Now there are two bugs:

I can't see apps for eclair, only for cupcake. Such as: Amazon MP3Downloader, App Manager and so on. They don't really work.

Second:

My Gmail Mails don't arrive immediately. I must make a manual sync to get the new mails...

Hm, with first Kagudroid I was happier.

The Gallery Problem is still there. With first not...

Does anybody have an idea with my two problems? Please...

I'm so sad, because i thought i finally found the ultimate ROM! Please do something! I don't undersatnd what i changed in my behaviour but the battery that was not a problem in 1.1 became a really big problem now.
