3rd random reboot

I just had my 3rd random reboot on Kagu 1.2.1 since Feb 1st. It happened when I attempted to dial out and make a call. My second reboot came back with a voicemail that wasn't there... so I assume I was receiving a call. I can now say that there is a high probability that random reboots have to do with the phone application.

I have since flashed jnwhiteh's Cyanogen-based AOSP ROM (found at hero.modaco.com) to see if this seems to be specific to Cyanogen's modifications. I had 'other problems' like market downloads would forever be stuck in "starting download" status, freeze on bootscreen, very laggy.

I am now back to Kagu 1.1.4 for a while.

What weather app/widget do you use in the screenshots in the topicstart? I like it, I've used the search bar for this topic but I could find the right answer. Much appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Maybe by installing Google Bits... :p

Ok, here is that link: http://rybka.unas.cz/theme/Launcher-signed.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Ok, thanks a lot man...

Stupid question: if I change my mind or i change a theme, is it possible to go back and restore the original one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] berger34:
only having one problem.

on a homescreen when i add the weather widget (not news and weather, JUST weather) and I rotate the phone to landscape, the bottom half of the weather gets cut off. I can still read it, but it looks like hell. Is there a remedy for this ? (other than not using the widget ?)

the rom kicks ass though

also, can anyone get the "nexus one" live wallpaper to work ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] berger34:
juice84man:

what battery widget is that in your friend's launcher ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Juice84man:
Simply reflash KaguDroid without wipe. :)

It's not a part of launcher. It's widget you can find in Market named Battery Life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] S!ham:
battery darin

very nice rom i like it and it's stable for me exept the battery I dont know how I can save it ,, I dont use a connection a lot and I removed all the widgets need update just use 2G but still I've the problem

I hope to know wht I can do for it .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uqbar:
Nice, but ...

It's really a nice mod. It's reasonably fast and responsive.

But ...

It reboots from time to time (about once a day) with no apparent reason. Once it happened while starting the calculator. Once while just sweeping on the screen.

It looses the WiFi link despite it's a 3-lines signal (and then fails to detect it back). OK, OK, this is a notorious problem with all Hero ROMs I've tested.

I do like the call log thing, which displays the duration as well and allows you to access the contact details straight from the log itself.

I think much more work is needed in order to make it really day-by-day-usable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cymru:
Mine reboots everytime i make a call by manually typing in a telephone number. So this may help the dev.

can't seem to figure out what's going on with the battery drain on this ROM. I unplugged it from the charger when it was at 100%, then I used taskiller to kill everything, and its been in my pocket (all data connections off) for 3 hours. I pull it out, and its at 91%. its been in sleep mode the whole time ! any thoughts ?

If I turn WiFi and sync I get *more* than 2 times battery life.

Also sometimes (mostly when using GPS and wireless at the same time) my phone get super hot (35ºC+ reading from SetCPU).

The only thing I can think of is _maybe_ an infinite loop, because most of the time after that i get a reboot.

All works fine this ROM? About:

What does not works:

- Camera at 5mp: do no try it, it will freeze the camera service then reboot is needed.

- Camera: after a couple of photos, the camera app force close.

- AD2P calls: no sound

- Gallery3D graphics get 'messed up' if you switch orientation.

- Live wallpaper are not all playing (we miss OpenGl ES Lite 1.)

- Exchange sync problems with some servers configuration

- All feature that need a custom kernel are not working (usb-tether, compcache)

Works this release?

Thanks to advance.

Thanks for this awesome work! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Just a small note... I loved KaguDroid 1.2.1, but my biggest issue was random reboots... I since changed to Vanillain, and used that for about a week without a single unscheduled reboot.

Now I am back to KaguDroid 1.2.2, and lo and behold, sitting here at work with the phone on my desk, I feel the vibrate and my phone has rebooted. :(

If Lox can sort this out, this ROM is a winner.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NoXXX:
I think it is kinda some third-party software issue. I use Kagu 1.2.2 for 3 days and have no reboots and problems at all. :cool:

Launcher2 : New feature !

If you are using the Launcher2 on this ROM, just try to long press on the bottom on the screen, between the squares in the middle and the dots on the right or on the left.

You'll see that this Launcher2 proposes a function not very different from the famous "pinch zoomout" of HTC Sense !!!

See attached pictures.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nimaattar:

anything else?

what should i do with this HTC hero?!

( Pain of regret !!! )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leinad:
Did you flash GoogleBits after having flashed the ROM ?

This could be the reason.

What you could do :

Enter Recovery (Press "Home" + "End call" buttons at the same time when the phone is off)

Wipe everything (data, davlik cache, etc)

Flash the ROM

Flash GoogleBits

Reboot

Hope this will solve your problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
Can you get into recovery? If so it's definitely not dead.

You can do a Nandroid restore to go back to your old ROM, or try installing this ROM again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nimaattar:
yep , i could get into recovery , i tried to install this ROM again , but i couldn't ! this problem appeard again!

but about GoogleBits ( am i right !? ) i didn't flash this one ! after i flashed the main kaguDroid ROM , i tried to reboot , then this happend... but now i cant get into SDCARd , right?! so how can i flash this Googlebits? Can i use RAM Reader to put GoogleBits into SDcard !?

thx...

Plz! Help me!

Can someone tell me if auto brightnes work in this rom?

Thx!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
No it does not..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
It sounds more like you didn't Wipe before flashing this ROM, or there is still something on an old apps2sd partition on your SD card that is causing the 'stuck' while booting.

Go into your recovery, and wipe normally, then wipe dalvik and if your recovery has it, also wipe ext. Flash this ROM again, and flash googlebits after that. It should start fine.

The recent RA-recovery images have a 'toggle MS-USB' option in the menu to enable access to your SD card through your phone. If your recovery doesn't have that, you can still push files to it through use of 'adb' (you used that once to root your phone I guess ). It's a command line tool to send commands to the phone.

If using the 'adb' tool is too hard for you, the easiest method is to get a cheap SD card reader and plug it into your PC to place googlebits on your SD card. While you are doing that, redownload the KaguDroid ROM and place it on your SD card, you never know. It might be damaged in your initial download.

Basicly, with ADB. Type this from the DOS command line while being in the proper folder (android sdk\tools) (if you are using linux / Mac OS you should know this anyway):

adb remount

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push "c:\kagudroid.zip" /sdcard/

adb push "c:\googlebits.zip" /sdcard/

Replace "c:\kagudroid.zip" and "c:\googlebits.zip" to the _full_ foldername + filename of the downloaded .zip files. Remember to put the full path between " to be sure. After it's done, wait a couple of seconds and use your recovery to wipe + reflash + flash googlebits.

Once again, if you don't know what I'm talking about when entering these commands, it's very hard to explain by a forum or message. Just buy or get a simple mini-SD card reader and put the files on that way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nimaattar:
Thank u very very Much... i tought my phone is Dead Actually! ( NoOBs! )

puting the Files with a Cheap SD Card Reader , is the the easiest Way!

Why should i try that Hard One?! :)

Thanx! ( all of yOu )

Bug on app installation

Installing or upgrading app on "Internal storage" or "SD Card" doesn't seems to works well, whatever your choice between "Internal storage" or "SD Card"

Different scenarios:

- a new app via Market :

after the app was downloaded via Market, the apk installer prompt to chose between "internal" or "SD ext" storage, a box appears "installing package", then come back to the standard "installing" progress bar and ...no "done" button, still "installing" on screen :confused:.

But, surprise... the app is installed :confused:

- upgrading an app :

after the app was downloaded via Market, the apk installer prompt to chose between "internal" or "SD ext" storage, a box appears "installing package", then come back to the standard "installing" progress bar and ...no "done" button, still "installing" on screen :confused:.

But, surprise... the app is not upgraded :confused:

- installing apk apps via Astro file Manager :

Same comportment :

- if it's a new app, it freeze on install progress bar but the app is installed

- if it's an upgrade, it freeze on install progress bar but the app is not upgraded

No apps upgrade possible I have to uninstall /re-install :(

I noticed one problem. The Genie widget is loading forever. I have to kill it and open it from the App Menu manually before the widget works properly.

The Android stock keyboard works great imo. Accuracy improved a lot.

I think, scrolling the App menu and the Home screen still lacks. I am wondering if this can be improved. Already overclocked to 528-528MHz when display is on (corresponding to Technologist kernel 1.91), but this just gave me a slight improvement.

Think Sense is a bit quicker, but it eats up much more memory....

Anyway, it's a great base for improvements. New gallery app is fantastic.
