That looks like a 2.6.29 kernel. I can' remember the exact details, but doesn't the 2.1 ROM need a specific newer version (Again, I can't remember what version, so this could be it, just I'm sure we'd have heard by now...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
hum... kernel in 3.3 is: 2.6.29-8d063048

so... maybe... :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Any geniuses around to look at this??? Now I think of it, I'm sure that what we needed was a 2.6.29, as you say (I think the old one was a 27 one)...

Interesting. Anyone taken a look (I don't know enough about kernels to even look at compiling it...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
This may work for you, Search in market for "Ritesh Sahu" he has APN Backup and Restore, plus contacts backup and text backup.

restore an old Nandroid backup with APN's that work, , install "Ritesh Sahu" 's apps, backup the APN (it goes onto the sd card, then wipe all, install this rom, then redownload the apn backup & restore app and then restore your APN's with it.

Let me know if it works - his apps are free, fully functional. Should work.

I have just written to teknologist over at modaco asking him for the possibility to make a custom kernel.

Behaviors

Hi:

Nathan:

I´m currently in 3.3 and I`ve observed serveral strange behaviors:

1.- Sometimes when recieving a call, phone doesn´t ring (it is not in silence nor vibrate), sometimes it does.

2.- Screen sensitivity seems less or clumsier than previous versions, like Modaco specially when the phone is flat.

3.- People widget oftenly switches between third and first contact for a while, then goes back to normal.

4.- HTC mail doesn´t show images attached to mails, version 3.1 did. It was great. Hope it will be back.

5.- The pinch for homescreens when executed for the first time, it takes a while or few pinches (5)to get it going.

6.- The already mentiones battery issue.

7.- HTCmail mail arrival is not "as items arrives" more like when ever it feels like syncing.

Any help?

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Talking of good old modaco, here's a link to a discussion about AOSP Eclair 2.1 r4 for here : http://android.modaco.com/content-p...or-gsm-hero-now-with-online-kitchen/page/803/

Seems they had a custom kernel going (where the above link was from).

Anyone around have the necessary knowledge to see what the kernel originally posted by tristan202 is, and if it is any use (maybe HTC add custom modifications so that sense will run???)

Link for anyone interested is http://github.com/loxK/android-msm-2.6.29-hero

Wifi Tether seems not working properly.

Wifi works, connexion OK, web: NOTOK : nothing

btw aNetShare works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
On my phone right now so unable to take a proper look. I'm pretty sure the kernel files you posted are what we are using already... the leaked x.29.

Roll on HTC release!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Confirmed. Will fix in next release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. I guess they are leaked, although it appears to be sources, so is there something stopping us compiling them up ourselves (missing modules etc. or is it just buggy)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Storken:
is that any way to do so a software is loading quicker better respond ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
mms not working again? tried the fixes mms zap and the other one.. doesnt seem to be working :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] svirre26:
MMS & Today in history

First of all, thank you very much for a great 3.3 rom. It responds quickly, and it works quite well. Wouldn't use any other rom as of now. Went for a walk today through town with my tracks running tracing my walk, listened to music, texting friends and taking pics underway (thank god for daylight providing light..cos HTC aint). Now if thats not what a phone is for, then I dunno ****.

But I do have two issues I'd like community help with;

Now, the biggest issue is; I cant get MMS to work. I've tried using the solve which is presented in the Wiki for 3.2, as well as entering the correct APN details (Onecall, NO) in MMSZap. Also tried turning off Wifi, and turning on mobile network instead.

My GF just sent me an MMS, and it says downloading..but it doesnt seem to go anywhere, and sending only produces a generic network failure.

So..err..any takers? Sorry for repeating this gdmn mms thingy..which some of you must be sick and tired of.

(and i did perform a wipe before installing, but the recovery image wouldnt let me wipe dalvik. Might there be a connection here? A recovery image update and a fresh wipe including dalvik before install?)

Secondly, Today in History only yields an connection error. Cant download data. Anything spesific I have to do to fix it? Tried both with Wifi & 3g/Edge.

And again, well done on a good rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richardtrip:
I only compiled (vpn) modules with that kernel for the 2 leaked kernels: hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627608. Tricked the version number. Can do that for other modules if you want them (ext4, cifs, even compcache without the kernel patch) but i don't think we can compile a complete hero kernel with these sources. @loxK correct me if i'm wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] berger34:
yeah i gotta agree

awesome rom (and i'm coming from MCR)

however, the battery drain on this is ridiculous. I have all data, sync, gps off. auto brightness turned off, brightness turned all the way down, and I had the phone sleeping. I unplugged it from the charger at 100% at 9:45am, it's now 2pm and i'm down to 89%. I had no calls, texts, and did no browsing. the phone has slept since I unplugged it. I ran task killer when I unplugged it too.

what gives ?

with modaco, with the same settings as above, it still says 100% after 10 hours
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
well 1st random reboot. as part of my rule to try every rom and judge on its merits without taking what others say for gospel i flashed this rom. lovely boot screen animation, very visually pleasing and love the custom wall paper. rom is great and handles well. battery drain is more than others i have used but thats me. been using since 2am last night and today at 7pm i had my 1st random shutdown. thought phone was sleeping so hit power button to wake and phone restarted. didnt even know it had gone off. guess these things happen but 1st rom i have had it with! i know that this chef in particular works very hard to keep this rom fresh and updated. it may just be one of those things but worth noting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
10% in four hours is perfectly fine, all 2.1 Leaked ROM's suffer from this problem due to dodgy kernel (stated every all over this forum).

On another note, over 620,000 views of this thread, phenomenal!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] berger34:
alright i'll live with that.

anything I can do about the weather widget not refreshing (get a connection error. tried using mobile network and wifi, neither will update it)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
Great ROM

This is a great ROM. First time i flash my Hero. I'm a complete noob in Android. Flashing with this ROM is easy. Only got some small issues:

- 5MP Camera has bit green photos

- When i call someone, he speaks like a robot. After rebooting the device it was gone. Is it a know issue?

- Weather from Holland is not possible (current location)

Battery Drain is minimum. I have turned on bluetooth and had several calls. Drained 10% in 5,5 hours :D....GREAT!!

Keep on the good work m8!!

This didn't happen with version 3.1:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] v33r3n:
ive tried a few roms and nathan this is pretty good stuff so thanks!!

only major problem i have found is that i been gettin alot of FCs randomly. i've rebooted to no avail... not sure what that about but i think this is a lot better than others.

could i ask y navigation has been taken off this rom? or am i been a noob and its here and i cant c it!

also the mmszap... how does it work... confused...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
possibly your overclock settings if you used overclock widget? clocked too low maybe...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chnoch:
i have some strange problems that i couldn't really figure out why they would happen.

it has got something to do with the mobile internet connection. mobile internet works w/o problems, i can surf the web, look at maps, receive e-mails, search the market, no issues there. but then i get problems with some apps that try to access the internet through some kind of internal browser i suppose (or maybe they actually do use the android browser). and they can't get a connection. examples would be wapedia (access to wikipedia), xkcdviewer, quickpedia, etc. instead of the information they just show the error page that also shows up in the browser if there's no connection available (with the little android guy on top).

Any idea what could cause this problem and how to resolve it?

uninstalling and reinstalling the apps hasn't helped. and yes, the links it should get work, i tested that from the pc.

i'm running villain 3.3

thanks

People who are saying ring volume is low.. or not ringing at all. I have found there is an option in 'Sound and Display' called :

QUITE RING ON PICKUP ... which reduces ring volume when you move your phone... If it's in your pocket, it may ring quiet cuz it's moving?

Unless it's smart enough to detect that it was already moving to begin with?

ok so i figured out the navigation thing but now my market is not working... i read in an earlier post about market enabler...should i install that? i have used market bout 30mins ago with this rom and it worked. now all of a sudden it isnt workin!!!

the main FC i keep gettin is with android.process.media..

any help/suggestions....

thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
Nathan, i think i sused the boot problems. I just thought id try modaco see what it was like, formatted my ext partition to ext4 used nandroid tocome back to your rom, remembering it didnt support ext4, thought id try it anyway, boot then hung.

maybe this is the issue all are seeing, im repatitioning sd card now :D

Edit: btw thanks for recognition on home screen just saw it :) your very welcome. anything you need help with beta tests specific log tests le tme know, more than happy to help.

edit: im a moron, just formatted my sd and didnt backup my nandroid backup... bugger it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Does overclock widget work yet? I tried it on 3.2 with no success, but it may have been my GPS settings that were the issue.

Or, Nathan might have been doing some interesting behind-the-scenes stuff I've not heard about yet...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
i think its working for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Well done Nathan!

After some disappointments with 3.2., this one seems to be stable and well adapted for my purposes. Think I will stay with it until the official htc 2.1. release.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
check usb debugging is on, this can affect root permission which that app needs. Also, you may need to grant it SU permissions and sometimes the app may SU permissions app may pop up a bit slow. so you may have to try again or reinstall it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Peruzulu:
3.2 was fine, now using 3.3.

The only thing I am missing is the gallery! I had my Picasa web albums actually syncing with a little file edit.

Any was that I can add it back in myself?

G

___

Ohhhh. Right, just read Mantrajt's post below and pulled the apk for gallery out of the 3.2 zip and dumped it on my phone. Had not thought of that.

Thanks everyone, the Rom is great and everyone's help is invaluable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
can confirm this works for me, would like more feedback before adding to wiki.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
I`ve installed in 3.3 3D Gallery but it seems to me that when included as a "native" app like in 3.1 it runned smoother than when you install de apk.

Maybe it has something to do with opengl? I say this because I installed OpenGL demo from market and for example, portrait in this app has the same issue as the 3D gallery and animations seems to play slower.

Anyone can confirm this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@anon2122

"Does overclock widget work yet?"

Nope .. it does not. Setting changes does not apply, Kernel overrules every change.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I suspected that. Pity really, we'll just need to wait for release of sources then. I did try it on 3.2, just that someone else mentioned it elsewhere and seemed to think it was helping... Evidently not then :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steelodude:
HTC Legend is released today in the Netherlands! (2.1)

Why not porting this rom? Because it has the same specs as the hero :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
hmm, dunno then, thats a shame as i just installed it lol.

edit:

what about auto task-killer that work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] binario77:
Can I just say that I quite enjoyed 3.2 despite it's problems as I got to it before the problems had been identified and sorted and managed to help out the community.

My fixes may not have been as elegant as those later posted in update.zip format but there is a certain thrill in contributing back to the community.

Thanks to all involved esp Nathan of course. Flashed 3.3 late last night and no show stoppers as yet although battery life still needs tweaking to be as good as I managed to tweak 3.2 to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
I am using the 3.1 rom and after a few reboots and reflashes i have had overclock working fine and it is saving alot of battery how comes there is a 3.2 update and now a 3.3 when 3.1 is fine apart from the battery drain but with the overclock aint so bad. i dont spose someone has solved the battery issue for the 3.1 rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] berger34:
could anyone share tips on tweaking this (3.2) to have better battery life ? is the battery life better in 3.3 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@Piercy0812

AutoKiller is working fine. Had some hiccups at first ignition, but solved.

OverclockWidget

It is not the fact that the Widget itself is not working, it is more the fact that the Kernel gives a range in that OW could work but the given range is 528/528 (480) and thats it.

@berger34

My battery life is at 72 hours with WiFi 18/7 (hours/days) enabled. Choose a dark wallpaper and turn of all unneeded processes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] berger34:

hi,

had nearly the same problem. The built-in android browser wouldnt work. so apps, which have to connect to websites couldnt connect.

a full wipe and reflashing the rom worked 4 me...

greetz and thx 4 all the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pinn___________:
None of my accounts seem to be syncing automatically, I have to do each manually which is a bit of a pain. I didn't do a wipe/install, rather an incremental update - not sure if that has any bearing.

Anyone else experiencing this?

@pinn___________

Wipe is the key, and to go completely safe format your SD card and start fresh.

A cross-topic post to let everyone know that Behnam has got a Legend dump running on a hero.

More (well, it's twitter, so nothing much more) info at http://twitter.com/benocharm/status/10235818474.

If you just check his general statuses, he's hoping for a release tonight, but not promising anything...

@Nathan, will you be looking to move to the Legend ROM in the near future now, since the hardware should be pretty much identical. Hopefully there's a better kernel from the legend that's compatible, but we don't know yet...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It depends which is the quicker, more complete of the two. I'll test Benhaam's rom before I make a decision ;)

That being said, if Benhaam's rom is more stable than my Eris port, there's every likelyhood I'll use his rom as a base, which is something I don't like doing generally. However, if he's got a perfect 2.1 Sense rom working, I'd be a fool to lag behind working on the Eris port.

Watch this space. I'll be all over it like a rash if it's any good.

Seriously though, excellent work Benhaam.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds good ;)

I asked Benhaam if he's got a new kernel to run, and unfortunately not :(

We're still stuck on this development one...

Interesting developments, and I'm sure Villain will go well either way :)

And +1 on the congrats for Benhaam!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cjanissaryc:
ehhm sorry, but i realized, that it didnt worked really good.

the default browser works, but i still got problems with apps, trying to connect to websites. it always says invalid url...

anybody got an idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I genuinely have high hopes for Benhaam's Legend port.

If it's as good as he's implying, we could have an immensely stable VillainROM soon. :)

Just when I was getting somewhere with the sim contacts problem, he goes and tops it! ha!

Anyway, thanks again to all for the continued support; don't give up on me yet ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I believe it's the HTML Viewer causing the issue.

I'm working on a fix.

However, Benhaam's Legend port is making me temporarily hold off on the update.

Battery life

Ok I just got in from work my phone has been on the go all day, go unplugged about 7.30am and its now about 11pm ( overtimes for my HTC desire fund )

Whats changed 3.3 and re-flashing radio rom after install (someone suggested)

Nice job nprussell

Quick question, even though I did a non-wipe upgrade from 3.2 to 3.3 I still lost some apps I had installed in /system/apps from another rom, Is that part of the process or is there a way round it

radio update

i've been reading a lot lately about that radio issue, apparently updating to the latest radio would help improving the battery life, how do we flash a radio in recovery? i know i have to apply it as an update.zip, but do i need to wipe data/partition/davlik?

my radio version is 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22 and i'm thinking of updating to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Screenshots that were promised? can you put them up please? I know you're too busy building the roms :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Actually, in a thread for one of the other ROMs based on the Eris leak, they are claiming that going back to radio you quote here, solves the problem with the GPS/CPU idling/battery drain.

If you are going to flash the radio, you don't have to do anything because the radio sub-system is separate from the Android operating system. Just go into recovery mode, and apply the radio ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
On a separate note, if it's not already been said, the gmail embedded image problem is a known problem for Android 2.x and there is nothing wrong with VillainROM or flashing or installation, as such.

With 3.3 and radio flashed, went to bed with the phone fully charged. Mobile Network and Gps off.

This morning I get 50% batt left! Battery graph show steady drop of 10% every 2hr.

What puzzled me is, the weather widget shows correctly that i've a rainy morning instead of a moon! That's with mobile data turned off before I go to bed.

Also, could the batt drain due to batt graph app collecting data every 5 min?
