A very good stable ROM.

I noticed 2 things so far:

1. No Root access

2, Add Fave (contacts) does not seem to work.

Can somebody confirm this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratcom:
Yep confirmed here also......

The root access is a pain tbh :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
to me, this looks like the most promising android 2.x so far. When the first pictures of the expresso first came out, i didnt like it because of the 'iphonish' style. but having tried it out now, i am suprised i kinda liked it.

( not critics or complaints but just a few point for the chef's future releases)

1. camera do FC at times. taking a picture and deleting it immediatey after cause a restart.

2. intalling the new rosie renders the phone practically unusable . It becomes very sluggish.

3.as mentioned above, adding fav doesnt seem to work

waiting for the next update. Cheers/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TobenderZephyr:
As stated before, here some quicknotes which do not seem to work properly with this ROM :(

1. GPS (does not work at all)

2. Network Location

3. some paid apps

4. apps, which use 3d effects (Mystique, cooliris album known as gallery..)

5. add faves

what i do not understand: syncing with google contacts DOES work, but contacts have no images(?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
im working on 1.2 now, 3D and GPS fixed so far, working on network location and paid apps now, the faves issue is one i cannot fix as it is related to the people app itself
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jeppfi:
When will it be released?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
if i can get it working properly, tonight, if not it'll be tomorrow
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
to help you, the paid apps fix is very strange, because the ONLY rom that is fixing the problems is 2.0.1, but after using a another 2.x rom are they gone.

so you need likely copy the boot.prop from that rom, but so far i know isn't the way to fix it (but the boot.prop is the file that is cause the problems....)

there is a topic @ htcpedia that is trying to fix this problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sn0mann:
Posting a couple of issues myself with this release;

1) When changing the htc-clock to certain clock-types I'm getting a "htc.xx.senceui" FC, dunno if this is a known problem

2) I know this isnt your field prolly, as this lays in the hands of htc, but rose is very sluggish - anyway, posting that as well

3) gps not working properly, (as already pointed out)

4) calendar.app -> changing to agenda and back to month-view will cause an fc within ~ 5mins

5) camera/video fc _sometimes_ when going landscape/portrait

other than that! Great release! Keep'em coming! ;-) tbh, best android 2.1 out there..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] csasek:
thanks minty1978 for the mirror

it doesn't display chinese fonts so it's not very suitable for me though i like it a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
installed kagudroid and hated it, i like this rom

also how do i remove stocks, quick office etc?

also is the cpu fullt clocked to 528mhz?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
adb shell

rm /system/app/...apk (look in the update.zip file for the name of it :))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
thanks incomer will try

cant access mem card with usb

also im in uk so is there a way to get google navigator?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
try to install mountusb, some rom's is that the fix(haven't install it yet, need first a market fix for this(or any other 2.x rom)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TobenderZephyr:
can't wait for this release, really.

Man, you do a great job.

If i could run cooliris gallery, this phone would kick a** :-)

The new SenseUI does really look good with blue buttons, the only thing i noticed, it is really laggy as hell, typing messages or emails is a real pain. No idea if i should restart the phone some time more or if it has something to do with google search and dictionary increase?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
i done rm /system/app/stock.apk

it said

rm failed for /system/app/stock.apk, Read-only file system
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
ok, 3d will not be working in next release, when i fix it, it kills a few of the other main apps like Messages and browser
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxld:
first try adb remount

then adb rm /system/app/stock.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
I can flash with Original SPL and Radio?

Thanks to you advance.

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Winkelpaleis:
Do others also have problems with gmail not automatically being synchronized? I manually have to update it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
yeah forgotton to say, first adb remount and then adb shell and then rm /system/app/apkfilename.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
thanks but i used this http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-modaco-custom-rom-for-gsm-hero/#entry1059607
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
is almost the same, only you don't have to look in the zip file for the name of the apk :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
is there a google navigator apk available?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
ive added the gps fix to the first post, just flash as update.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
Thanks dude, I was playing a box from built-in player Nd it froze. Also does this have root?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
1.2 is up, added a2sd and fixed the SU and GPS not working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
thanks dude your fast, do u mean sufbs? also why does neocore lag like hell? and snes emu if i touch the screen it lags
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keiwanleon:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guineapig:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
I'm stuck on the HTC on reboot... could it be due to the no. of apps I had already in A2SD on MCR version.

Not know if to wait or try reboot :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abhs89:
Did you wipe before installiing this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hi, this ROM works in Original SPL and Radio? I´ve Recovery-hero-v1.5.2 and Modaco-3.0.

HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)

RADIO-6.35.06.18

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] n646464:
FC in contact app when viewing Online directories

Thanks for the effort i really like it but it always FC when trying to view or edit the online directories.

Also i can not seem to find Groups in the Contact app

Thanks:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Wiped before ROM install...that worked fine, bu not before the patch :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Hmmm...I got this on my second attempt to apply the patch///after I tried wiping.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mo7utd:
thanks RaiderX303 keep the good job:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
Ok some changes I would like as an additional if you have time?

1. the lock screen change it the drag left to right

2. the dial screen sames laggy please chage to 1.5 style

3. change the panels to 5 from 7

4. add root access
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] csasek:
Chinese fonts- poss more?

I found that copying this file DroidSansFallback.ttf to the /system/fonts directory solved my problems with Chinese fonts displaying.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
OK,

With 1.1 installed OK, tried wiping before applying patch. Still freexing on restart. Think I'll wait for later version.

Well done, good ROM though :)!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RUBBLEDOUBLE:
I also get this error.

Also could you remove the boot sounds please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
for removing boot sounds just search in hero forums here for "boot sound", apply that update.zip from the thread you find and youre done! works fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
The Espresso Rosie is only update to Espresso Hybrid 1.1?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
the espresso rosie patch works on 1.1 and 1.2, those having problems with 1.2 not booting, are you using a2sd and what format is your ext partition in, ext2, 3 or 4?

if your getting the error

Copying files...

E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/zcip

E:Failure at line 8:

reflash 1.1, then flash 1.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dany_my:
in 1.2 can i conact between contacts and their facebook profiles?

+

can i add people to the favourite widget?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
yes you can link facebook profiles the same way you do in 1.5, also youll be able to add favourites to the widget, you just wont be able to see them listed in the people app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
I don´t use app2sd.

Thanks to u answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] csasek:
now that I figured out the Chinese fonts I'm using the 1.0 with Home++. I have come to like Home++ more than Sense. I really like the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

If you push su then you can use Market Enabler and get to paid apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mixmaven:
Does Exchange work in 1.2? I see it wasn't working in 1.1 and dont see where it was fixed.

Thanks!

-mix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raskall:
It was fixed from 1.0 to 1.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
ok, if your not using a2sd, can you adb shell and see if you can cd /data/app, tell me if that works or gives an error

Edit: if your not using a2sd, do you have a 2nd partition for swap?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:
if I have an ext4 partition, which i understand causes this rom not to boot, can I turn off apps2sd before booting in adb? And if so, would it help, or do I really have to repartition my sdcard to get it working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
right now there isnt a way to turn it off if you have a 2nd partition, unless you flash the boot.img from 1.1 which stops it running the a2sd script
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:
will it be an option or will ext4 be added in a future rel? thanks for great work, btw.. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Hi,

I use apps2sd, so already have ext 3 partition (and a swap area) etc... for MCR ROMs.

Tried wipe before reflashing 1.1, and before 1.2.

Phil
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
boot freezes after 1.2 flashed

no error messages

i have a2sd with ext3 and lots of apps on the partition :rolleyes:

fat, ext3, swap ... or was ist fat, swap, ext3? i don't remember
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
if your not booting and you use a2sd, wipe data and wipe the ext partition, you will not be able to leave apps on there from other roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
i guess i'll try it with another sdcard when i get home today ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Hmmm....Titanium backup should do the trick to restore Apps I hope! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
ive just updated the 1.2 patch in the first post which should fix the problems with devices freezing on the htc screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
I'll give it a try. :)

Hmmm...

1) Wiped data & wiped Dalvik

2) Flashed 1.1 (then remained in recovery menu)

3) Flashed new patch 1.2

4) Reboot

Now appears frozen.

Edit - Also repeated with wipe between step 2) & 3). Still frozen. Guess the only option is wiping the apps from ext3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
will u allow root access and look into the snes emu lag?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
root is already fixed, the lag i cannot fix as that will either be the app or the vid drivers which are non-existant in this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
can you borow thse bits from here and there? I like this rom.........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pagetronic:
strange.. no wifi for me on 1.2 patch
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
did you try the updated 1.2 patch?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BO7AMZA:
on 1.2

on updating to 1.2 wifi not working tried everything any suggestions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
I haven't had any wifi problems since adding the 1.2 patch, still connects to my home router.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ive flashed 1.2 and root doesnt work..... installed root explorer but su doesnt pop up to allow it root
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rastandroid:
HTC Hero Orange UK WI-FI dose not work

I have a problem with wi-fi it cant find my home router and any other wifi networks around.Is there any way to fix this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
did you have your router selected and saved on the rom before applying the 1.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itanczos:
Hello!

There is a wrong build.prop file in the 1.2 correction!

This mistake:

...
wifi.interface = eth0
...

Correction:

...
wifi.interface = tiwlan0
...

It ADB it is possible to exchange the wrong file.

Command:

adb remount
adb push (corrected file location and name) /system
adb shell reboot

I attached the repaired file.

BlueTooth test:

Works with Bluetooth hands-free. Connected only with difficulty.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] plun:
Thanks !

My WiFi works again.....(reboot needed)

:)

EDIT and thanks for the rom....!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] linofaria:
whou tho install this file ?:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wdaccache:
Could you please share some details on how to use adb and how to install this file? Is there any patch coming out soon to fix this?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
wifi fix posted as update.zip in op
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wdaccache:
It works... WIFI is on.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] plun:
More challenges.....

The Gallery and also GoogleNav seems to be broken in this version.

The Gallery maybe works with a later com.cooliris.media package... ??

Google Nav, "Bruts" version, starts but returns to Google Maps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TobenderZephyr:
as already stated, gallery should depend on a proprietary graphics driver, which isnt enabled in this version due to FC of main phone functions.

I would be interested in having information on where you found variables or stuff to disable it? Must've been close to every apk i opened up but found nothing...

(thought of rosie.apk or something?)

I would really like to help you freeing your ROM from bugs if i only knew how :/ I really like it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zain1612:
in youtube i cant see the videos on my subscription it displays the page alright but no videos:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
Why not? What is wrong with the people widget for this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrBrown666:
can't find Goggles in Market and can't install it manually via adb "INSTALL_FAILED_CPU_ABI_INCOMPATIBLE"

seems like it's not fully recognised as 2.1 but rather 1.5 or lower
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BO7AMZA:
berfore and after

before applying patch sygic and all other gps related were installable after update u get "ISNTALL_FAILED_CPU_ABI_INCOMPATIBLE"

great effort keep it up :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Great ROM fella :) -- best 2.1 I've seen, and close to being 'everyday' usable.

However - some serious problems for me:

I'm running V1.1, flashed WiFi fix update, and my SD card has EXT 3.

- Can't seem to sync Google contacts.

- It 'sees' my WiFi network - but wont connect ( it asked for a password - but there is no password )

- I can't upgrade to 1.2 - it freezes on the HTC screen

I hope someone can help out on these issues, as I really like this ROM - good work to all concerned!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Valor:
I have installed the 1.1 rom and applied the 1.2 update. Is running stable bit laggy sometimes. GMAIL email works but contacts arent synced
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
UPDATE

Right - solved a few issues.

I managed to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2. - without encountering the 'HTC' freeze. To do this I did the following: Mounted my SD card and copied all my data to my computer ( music / photos etc. ).

In Recovery - I wiped / reformatted the SD card, then converted Ext2 to Ext3.

Mounted the SD card and copied all my data back.

Flashed 1.1, flashed WiFi fix, flashed 1.2 - I restarted after each flash but not sure if thats needed.

Wifi works, Google sync works.

PROBLEM WITH GOOGLE SYNC / WiFi

I think there is an issue with the keyboard in that if you type the upper characters in the letter keyboard it doesn't recognise the character ( thereby messing up passwords ) - for instance, if you after '9', don't do it by pressing and holding 'o' but switch to the numbers keyboard. I'm not 100% sure of this but it seemed to work.

One remaining problem is the Mobile Network widget doesn't work properly ( minor fault )

ANOTHER PROBLEM!!

Can't download apps ( all seem unsuccessful ) - is this an issue with marketplace - or is it because they are not compatable with 2.1. Where can I find things like GoogleMaps?

cheers all
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] willbeeching:
Hi,

From playing around this ROM it is far the best one that i've come across, a little slow but i'm sure as problems are fixed it will get much faster.

Just a quick question but does anyone know how you can get the trackball to flash when you recieve a text. i'm not a big fan of the flashing light next to the earpiece. I've searched around in the settings but can't seem to find anything to re-enable it?

Any suggestions?

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
ive uploaded another wifi fix which should also fix the apps not installing due to cpu abi
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
hopefullt you can fix the touchscreen bugs on emu soon
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Can't see it Raider - is it a standalone fix, like the WiFi fix?

DOH!! Misunderstood your post -
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
I really like using this ROM more than any other custom ROMs out there. The only problem I have with this ROM is the fact that my Google contacts don't show up, only the favs show up. I hope this annoying bug is fixed in 1.3 if there's ever a 1.3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
app2sd isnt working. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ngocminhsteel:
i see it still be working with me :D check it again... remove davik cache; patition sd again and part ext 3 and update.zip again u ll be sucess :D

have nice day !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
what is the free internal memory you got with 1st boot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ngocminhsteel:
112M or 115M i dont remember, and u? install all app still 112M present
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pagetronic:
almost perfect:)

..only the lag
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
its 112-115 mb in phone too.

but when i was using aosp 2.01 by jnwhiteh it was 165 mb means 0 mb utilisation from 1st boot up. so i got confused. but whats taking these 55 mbs if app2sd is working? is it dalvik-cache? if it is dalvik-cache then what about aosp by jnwhiteh? that rom must have dalvik-cache too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:
but aosp is a clean eclair rom. htc graphics and apps takes up space too... :) the espresso rom is about 33% bigger than aosp 2.0.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I cant sync my google contacts with this rom.

I have tried using the auto-setup on first boot... which didn't work.

Then I tried a suggested fix...

Wipe, reinstall, skip google reg on first boot, and go to market... add account there.

Same problem.

Any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Must say this Rom is good :D I've overcome original hurdles ( sync / first boot freeze / Market ) and it's running smoothly.

One thing though.

If I open text to write a new message, and then type in a contact - rather then showing the key details ( phone no.s / emails etc. ), it shows EVERY detail of their listing.

So on line one it shows their house number

line 2 house name

line three town

etc etc...as I said ALL details are listed.

Also a question - can Googlemaps Navagation GPS work on this ROM - ( I'm in UK )

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zombiefly:
Good question. I'm itching to move to UK nav via google. CoPilot doesn't appear to know what to do when you don't follow it's instructions. The recalculation is pretty rubbish compared to tomtom. I'm interested in trying the Google Navigation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pr1nce5st:
I was having the Google contact sync issue too, but as soon as I installed Espresso Rosie Google Contacts automatically appeared in sync options and started syncing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Another thing I noticed in this ROM is that it occasionally reboots itself - which as far as I can tell happens when you take a photo or answer a call. But it's only once in a while.

Raider - are we getting a 1.3 version of this great ROM? Hope so....:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toomie05:
Hey love the rom yet still little iffy on it so im trying to go back to my other roms but i cant get and roms on the sd card it will load halfway or something like it then tell me the phone is unreadable. i have also tried flashing back to the original stock rom and and i can't get it to be recognized any help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] irispen:
Bluetooth File Sharing is not working..

Can any one confirm this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
you need to go into bluetooth settings and enable bluetooth ftp service to get bluetooth file transfer, i wont be releasing any updates for now as my phone is broke, will get more updates once its repaired
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Thats not good iv been following closely here and on htcpedia, hope its back repaired soon :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
is there any update or bug fix coming soon ?

How can I do it?

Can someone help me, please?

Thanks

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jackasaur:
I have problems trying to get Nexus Torch to work. I just rooted my Nexus one, but for some reason when I try to run Nexus Torch the screen just goes black with "su request" at the top. Not sure why.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] justbabu:
Just a thought, on the HTC Hero this was fixed:

Menu > Applications > Development > Tick USB Debugging
