[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
no it is not. it is a closed beta release, so either sign up at modaco and download it from there or get lost. you won't find anyone to share this, as we understand what is happening here and support paul and his work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NisseGurra:
I prefer to donate IF i find the work useful for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Exactly. So if you don't find the MCR releases useful to you, then this topic is not of interest is it! :)

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] justbabu:
Are you using any of MoDaCo's roms? If you are then you obviously find it useful. If you do not currently use any of his roms then you can try 3.0 now without signing up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
then get mcr3.0 and stop spamming.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
New version uploaded!

Changelog

Beta 2

- Additional performance enhancements

- All 4 available HTC widgets now included in ROM

Enjoy! :)

No, its to bad, prefer better roms's
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] diabolik:
it's heartbreaking to have to pay to test this rom I'm already on 3.0 I really wanted to test the 3.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Foka002:
Business is business. I'm going to wait for free release and then donate. Thanks for your hard work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tembares:
Am I right that the kernel has nothing to do with the Android version, like 1.5, 1.6 or 2.0?

If so, does Paul going to make a ROM with >1.5 Android version?

If not, Which Android version is this and where can I find which kernel is which Android version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
the only official android roms for the hero are android1.5 aka cupcake. the kernel for this version is 2.6.27. paul will make a mcr4.0 based on android2.x as soon as there is an official (and thereby stable) release. the kernel version for android1.6 and higher is 2.6.29 AFAIK.

edit: 2.73.405.5 or whatever the exact numbers are is the ROM version for the official hero roms, as i said so far there are only android1.5 roms from htc out there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PAO1908:
hmmm.... feel happy that I just returned from a 18 hours working day.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jedijack:
I can't believe the attitude of some people in this thread. I've only had my hero a couple of weeks, my first Android phone and think the work done by Paul and Teknologist is awesome to be fair. The effort you guys put in must be applauded and you should not under any circumstances be berated for the decision you have made regarding the release of this BETA.

I'll be honest and admit I've not yet signed up for the ad free Modaco service as of yet, being so new to the scene but will soon I assure you. I'm currently using the 3.0 ROM with the 1.91 Kernel and find it's making the phone a pleasure to use.

NisseGurra - Would you mind sharing the "better" ROM's you prefer to use? If you are so happy with the alternatives then why waste your time here?

Oh I almost forgot my manners. Hi guys, the names Jedi. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tembares:
Maybe off topic, but nice to know for more noobies as I am... (or am I the only noobie :p)

- Where can I find this kind of information?

- Is there a list with kernel numbers and

- where are those kernels being published?

- Who is changing the kernels, (xda-)developers or manufacture?

If needed, I can start a new thread :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MasterOfDesasters:
You Sir are an a**hole and make me sick. The brave devs spend their private time to achieve awesome things on our beloved hero. They read a bunch of useless posts in very rapidly growing threads, explaining the same things over and over again, fix bugs and modify the OS to our whishes and needs, and you are complaining about a closed beta? Shame on you! If all of the modified roms are that bad, go back to the official one and stop whining.

I experienced people like you in every forum I attended here due to my different devices (starting with a Qtek 9000 - so it's a looooong time ago and much devices ago as well).

In every forum people like you gave useless statements, complained all the day, hadn't anything useful to contribute and a lot of devs and cooks stopped their work or made it just only for private use later.

SO STFU, stop trolling and go back to school instead of using dad's PC and bashing people who achieved great stuff to the scene.

Just my 2 cents.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shenye:
^ well said.

Yeah I wanna test it but damn Paypal is screwing me over, I'm quite tempted to just send £10 note to paul via post >_>
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] benlc:
How can you guys ask to hack this release >.>

Can we have a few reviews ? Does it seem faster than 3.0 ?

One more time thanks for your work Paul.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
Just a heads up modaco, installed the rom, set up some things, turned the phone off. Then started it again and now it hangs on HERObootscreen ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Good job on the release Paul. I'm still using the 2.8 ROM since it is, by far, the fastest ROM I've tested (compared to yours and other devs). I'll wait for the final release Paul, keep up the good work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
how's the keyboard typing speed on the 3.1 beta so far? I find the keyboard typing speed on the 3.0 ROM pretty good, but there are some times where I would find it lag between keypresses and some keypresses don't register.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knightnz:
I find it amusing that people can afford several hundred dollars for a shiny new phone, and yet are whining about having to fork out the price of a dozen (decent) beer to get a preview of something that you can get for free in a short while if you're patient.

Paul (and teknologist) have made massive improvements over the original HTC 1.5 ROM, if you use their work (as well as Amon Ra's etc) and don't feel like donating, then fine, but don't b!tch about it. If you appreciate their time and make good use of the results and can spare the money, then help the guys out.

The 3.1 beta is a massive improvement over the already much-improved-over-stock 3.0 and 2.x series. With final Eclair 2.1 sources due out later in the week (supposedly), I'm looking forward to see what they guys can do with the 4.x series!

Hopefully HTC are taking note, there's obviously a LOT of room for improvement in the software they're putting on the phones judging by the performance difference in stock & MCR.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prettyha8:
Yes I agree!.. MoDaCo > htc

lol!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpalo:
For some reason, the pre 3.1 versions have started off nicely, but after a few days, they are _crawling_ (=performance is really bad). I mean, waking the phone from sleep and trying to do something takes ages. Trying to read SMS's for example is so sluggish (compared to stock ROM). After a minute of usage it is again relatively snappy.

After using 2.8-3.0 I finally tried going back to stock ROM, and it is really nice and fast in the beginning, and still is after few weeks. I have same programs installed, so it is not because of those. How can this be, why is everyone saying Paul's ROMs are fast, how can my phone be so different? The real question is, of course, is this fixed in 3.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
We have a newer Teknologist kernel in here that should fix that!

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] munkimatt:
Show me a ROM that works better or STFU.

Paul, great work as usual and a nice treat to those who went ad free.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NisseGurra:
Modaco 2,8 is better than the 3,0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] munkimatt:
Then stick with that and don't complain about the 3.x beta!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
I agree - Modaco 2.8 was better than 3.0. However, 3.1 beta is better than both! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NisseGurra:
I did not complain about the beta.

Read the posts before bashing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] munkimatt:
I did. You asked someone to upload it for free depsite it being clearly stated it was for ad free members.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rexypow:
i've learnt how to ignore those negative comment....

Paul, because of you I have the confidence to buy a Hero, will make the payment for ad-free later, thanks for your work!

edit: 5J616129JT320482S paypal
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NisseGurra:
I was wrong to ask for free upload, but i am not to found of the idea to pay for ROM's. Donate is another thing.

The ROM's Modaco make is very nice tho
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rouzbeh:
true. you should all try 3.1 beta2, just installed and it's really FAST and stable:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Paul is not asking anyone to *pay* for his ROMs. He's just giving an early preview to those people who've financially supported his MoDaCo website. Consider it a benefit of being a supporter!

When 3.1 is fully baked, it will be make available to all and sundry, and judging by Beta 2 it won't be very long either!

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phil-t:
Indeed, I think Paul is an outstanding community member, and it's nice that he is willing to offer 'beta' releases in this way.

I'm not a Modaco Plus member myself, but do use his Roms, and am more then happy to wait until he releases it to the public...

Nice to see such good responses for 3.1b2! I can't wait now!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eX1337:
I think the beta 2 is much faster then rc1, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quantus:
Not for me. RC1 seems to be much snappier than any previous MCR (though I haven't had the Hero long and started with MCR 2.9, so can't compare to MCR 2.8, which some report was faster than later versions).

That said, it's hard to tell, as a Locale setting may have been causing a problem with B2.

What I can say is that I used to use a task killer on MCR versions 3.0 and earlier, and that no longer seems to be necessary. Battery life and speed are both fantastic for me with RC1, without any additional work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gangstaunitg:
I would like to know how to become such a genius like MODACO (Paul) ? What is the key??

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eX1337:
Hmm... somebody testet the wired tether for root users?

Doesnt work with my Windows 7 x64 =/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ritdaw:
OBEX support is unlikely to be around until MCR is based on a stable 2.0/2.1 release. Paul please correct me if I am wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] commodoor:
You are right,

I read somewhere that its because of the kernel that is been used in Android 1.5. the kernel has the old bluetooth drivers (i mean really old) that doesn't support it. but the android 2.x is based on an newer kernel and with that one t should be possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
RC2 up!

This has all the performance tuning planned for 3.1, and will likely become the final release.

- Added Titanium Backup

- Minor tweaks

Anyone getting crashes with MarketEnabler? It worked fine for me in 2.9, but now when I try to fake a provider, it goes through to 100%, sits there for maybe 5 - 10 seconds, then the phone reboots, and I'm still stuck with a non-fake Market provider.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Just letting the community no that i have tried Teknologist's Custom Kernel 1.9 with this Modaco's Release Canidate 2.IMO it runs alot smoother as in rosie scrolling with the 1.9.1 i still notice glitches in the scrolling like i did on other Modaco roms as well as stock rooted rom.I think 128MB is just way to much ramswap.Ive Read awhile back that its not good to go over 98mb on ramswap because it would not be stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
you are aware that tck1.91 is already included in mcr3.1rc2? just saying...

in rc2 the ramzswap size is 128mb.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inertiax3:
Is it possible to disable ramzswap on a compiled kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Yes Mr kendong I'm aware that rc2 has tck 1.9.1 that's why I reverted back to 1.9 and let everybody know my opinion on both kernels
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I don't see why not but what's the point you mine as well just use a HTC generic kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inertiax3:
For troubleshooting performance problems related to ramzswap
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
ramzswap is not the only thing tek changed in tck.

Am I right in guessing this take uses of the 2.1 Firmware? Or 2.0? If so, that's brilliant, I'll wait on the public release, as I'm enjoying 3.0 which is more error-free and stable than most 2.0 roms available. Thanks for the hard work Modaco. :D

Hello and Happy New Year to everybody!!

I recently started using my Hero as an alarm. Thus, while I am sleeping I set it to airplane mode so that the alarm rings. When I wake up it always shows a notification that the time zone has not been set. Rebooting the phone is the only way to fix it, except -of course- if I manually set it... Could this be a bug?

I know it's an issue with most any custom rom, but does anyone know any tricks to make the the phone display an incoming call faster? Most anytime I get a call, my phone will vibrate / ring for 5-10 seconds before the caller's number / name / picture are displayed.

[Touch HD General] cooney:
I have all my contacts on my phone and i want to move them to the computer. Im afraid if i connect the phone to the computer it will synchronize with the empty outlook and delete all my contacts from the phone. How do i move the contacts? I cant do it via Bluetooth.
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
hi Cooney,

you can try using iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite.

It allows you to backup both contacts and SMS from windows mobile to computer - Backup contacts and SMS into Text file format(.txt file).

I would backup your contacts in a .txt file via your HD and then transfer that file over to your PC, when you connect your phone via USB, make sure you select the Disk Drive radio button to avoid having ActiveSync immediately synchronise with Outlook. Then access your Removable Disk from My Computer and transfer the file over to your PC from there.

Hope this works.

Best Regards.
[Touch HD General] ClydeB1:
When you first establish an Activesync connection to your pc, it asks if you want to merge phone and pc, replace phone details with pc or pc details with phone. Choose either the first or last option (first is better for future sync's)
[Touch HD General] cooney:
The iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite sounds like a good idea but it costs too much. I discovered that i could change the settings before it synced my contacts, so now i have it connected to the computer but still no way of moving my contacts from the phone to the computer. Are there no free ways of doing this?
[Touch HD General] ClydeB1:
Activesync is free. Did you not read my post?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
To cooney's credit, I didn't see you mention it was free either...lol :rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Yes. That's the annoying thing, iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite as you will have to eventually have to pay for the software. However, if it makes any difference, you can download it from the link provided above, and use it's Free-Trial offer - allowing you to only backup the first 20 contacts/SMS.

EDIT: you might want to try Turbo Contacts Backup. It's free but it's requirements state it is only compatible with Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5 , 6 , 6.1... try it out and hopefully it will work with 6.5.

.

Regards.
[Touch HD General] cooney:
Sorry, i did miss your post... :o

But when I connect my phone it starts the Windows Mobile Device Center because I have Windows 7 and I cant find the settings for what you describe there... :confused: Maybe im stupid...:p
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Hi again Cooney,

First off, you are not stupid. Things are only easy when you know how.

Try this:

In WMDC on your PC, go to Options -> Settings and choose the setting to merge items on the desktop.

Hope this helps you out dude,

Best Regards.
[Touch HD General] cooney:
Cant find it... this is the settings that I see: http://stashbox.org/761677/WMDC.JPG
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Okay, my fault. I am using you as a guide as I don't use Windows 7 or WMDC :)

What you will need to do is delete your WMDC partnership (both on PDA and PC) and next time you try to sync your device to the PC with the USB cable, you should be given an option to merge your items or opt to replace all items.

Regards.

That's the ealiest version i've seen it has been released for. Anyone know of a 1.6 release? A backport for this would be great.
[G1 Apps and Games] th3fallen:
the reason its so slow for the g1 is because it doesnt support all the 3d acceleration like the nexus and newer android devices do so it will always be slow, your lucky it ran at all, which is why the 2.0 update for the g1 is taking so long because they have to remove most of the 3d from it so it can work with the hardware.
