Can you give a link to download Netloc directly, now that you merged it if we want to use another ROM with Netloc we're kinda screwed...

Apps2sd

I am seeing my internal memory get filled whenever I am installing new apps. I do see apps in my /system/sd/app. Any inputs that you have for me to verify apps2sd functionality?

-Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jockfraz:
hi first off great rom i really like it. im quite new to all this rom stuff and have been changing them about every 2 days to see which ones i like. the only problem i have come across with this one is that google maps nav wont work is this common or just me? sorry if it has come up already. cheers jockfraz. im in the uk just to let u know.

thanks a lot great rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Try installing a huge program/game (I used Ironsight, about 15mb) and see if your storage memory decrease of dimension of your program, if it decrease lower of program's lenght apps2sd is working

No, i built netloc for CKDroid not for other roms
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Apps2SD Works OK for me...I am using an Ext2 partition (& swap...not that I need the swap) :cool:

I have noticed when switching ROMS I have often backed up Apps using Astro to apk, then reinstalled. But they are not then shown in the Market as installed. Is it normal to not be recognised as installed by Market if you install from the apk directly?

Thanks

Phil
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
That's normal!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
FYI - Live Wallpapers work much better with OpenGL in ROM of course, e.g. 3D cube and 3D Earth. :)

However, they do seem to switch off automatically/terminate after a while though, so you end up back to original wallpaper.

isn't there a way to turn data (edge) off ? I can go into settings-->wireless and networks and turn wifi on/off, but not data ?

Hi,

Pretty fast and stable. But why does this ROM not have the option to enable mobile network sharing?

I have a linux laptop and the wireless tether is no good as linux cannot access an ad-hoc wireless access point. So far I have been using the usb cable and configuring the network. But for that to work I need to check the network sharing option, which does not seem to be there on this Rom.

Is it possible to add it back on please?

Samsom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Has anyone else experienced occasional and seemingly random reboots with this ROM?

I just had my first one. Very strange and surprising, considering it has been pretty rock stable to date.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lukather:
woot?! I'm a premium member and download works flawless. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guru_floyd:
does anyone have battery drains...i checked in spare parts and mediaserver is draining the battery like hell (within 6 hours of no usage). i have automatic task killer and close most of the apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
This is may be caused by 5 launcher screen or from not installed googlebits

So if didn't alredy do this flash 1.5.1

No, i can't, that's part of sense framework

Never had...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PTomos:
Thanks for all your work Exit93. This ROM rullez.

Any idea when do you have time for facebook integration problem ??

Another question, can you add Orange ES in the market ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
...and any news on your PC hardware, Exit93?

Really enjoying the frequent updates to this ROM, I'd hate to see them dry up. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dennus2008:
Is there a twitter page for this rom ? :)

It can keep my posted for updates :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
I'm working on a minor bugfix for now for jbed and camera, I'll work on facebook with the next release

What's Orange ES?

I should assemble a new pc within a week (and I hope too)

For now i working on it from my laptop but it's slow :(

@Dennus2008: Do you mean a twitter page with update news? Just follow my dev account (@Exit93_dev), link is in my sign
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
I have also had my phone reboot itself twice, but i presumed it was the applications I was using?

Is there any word on when the new APN list will available? Still not having any luck getting onto 3G or HSDPA. If I try and edit APN manually it locks my 3G off permanently too.... it's odd.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
I think so, this may be caused by live wallpapers too

Anyway I never had this problem

About APNs I just attached to the first post an alternative apn list from Cyanogen, flash it like a rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
Thank you so much for the new APN. It just solved my 3G issue! It now displays my network name correctly too, as it thought I was on a pre pay network before as opposed to a contract.

If anyone on 3UK is having 3G issues then I recommend flashing the new APN list.

Thanks for all your hard work dude.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
After the first day, I thought that perhaps I was having battery-drain problems, but now after a few days use, I've concluded that it was simply because of the excessive use due to me playing and fiddling with all the new goodies.

Also, I get the feeling that by default the screen ramains on a lot longer (ie. doesn't dim as quickly), and a lot brighter than the official HTC Hero ROM, and this would drink a lot of juice.

On the whole, I get about a full day's use out of this ROM, not unlike I did with the official ROM and Modaco 3.x.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:
Unbelievable ROM !!!! :eek: :eek: :D:D

1000* THANK YOU @ Exit93 !

Works like a charm (exchange,googlesync,maps,5home,etc...) !!!!!!! :D

Keep up your great work !!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
I'm still having trouble with MMS. Simply cannot get it to work.

In an effort to "try everything", I'd like to remove APNDroid. Can someone please tell me how I can do so via adb shell?

I've tried installing the version from the Market over the pre-installed one, but it just says "unsuccessful".

Edit: A thousand apologies. I see there are instructions in the 2nd post of this thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevios:
I love the style of this Rom (Unlock Screen, White Panel etc.). And it's really fast. Google Navigation is also working for me here in Germany (Without Street Names). As already reported a few programs don't work: I get FC with Astro File Manager (Linda works) and my Task Manager. All in all no big problems or bugs so far (my phone doesn't reboot as reported by others).

I have a few questions:

I think this Rom is going to be my everyday-Rom. ATM I'm using my old 2GB SD-Card. For everyday usage I would like to switch to my 8GB card. CKDroid won't touch it during change or new installation or do I need to backup everything?

Is it possible to remove some programs manually (adb or something?). Because I don't use for example chompSMS (Handcent) or Meebo IM (Nimbuzz).

Are future Updates going to be incremental?

Is there a white retro clock on the market? I think it would probably fit better.

Thx again for this great Rom. I'm really happy with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phiit:
Apart from the livewallpapers everything works very well on my Hero, I donated you a small amount!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Regarding my MMS problem, I have pretty much concluded that something in this ROM, something in AOSP 2.1 or something with APNdroid that is the cause...

I reverted back to the very first Nandroid backup that I did back when I was still using the original factory ROM. Immediately, I was able to send an MMS! So I wrote down the APN details, reverted back to CKDroid, and copied them *TO THE LETTER* into the APN settings. But still, I could not send an MMS.

I don't know enough about the inner workings behind Android, but it SEEMS to me as though it is not "falling back" to the MMS APN specifically defined in my settings. I have perfect internet access via the "internet" APN.

I've tried removing APNdroid, but I suspect it could have left behind some changed setting.

To those people that have working MMS, can you confirm whether you have one or two APN entries for "internet" and "mms" specifically?

Any other ideas here would be greatly appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
If your 2 gb sd doesn't have an ext partition you won't have problems, anyway some apps save data on fat partition so just copy your data from 2 gb fat partition to your 8gb

About uninstalling APNdroid I just edited giude in second post to remove user data also

Thank you :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Thanks for that... Still didn't help my specific problem though. :(

PS: Looks like the bundled version of ASTRO will expire in 3 days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Released 1.5.2 that "fixes" astro too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:

Which applications use jbed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the guitarist:
any news about the Facebook Sync ?!

and if i flashed the new rom would it wipe all my data for now .. i'm using CKDroid 1.5.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
any j2me app. like Opera Mini for example. or all the java apps for the "dumbphones" out there :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Clarkie:
@Exit93 - This is really great work. Many thanks - I'm a bit of a noob, and having a lot of fun trying out different ROMs on my Hero. This is definitely my favourite so far.

I have one question about a function - which might be a limitation of Android 2.1 - but it worked in v1.5. Basically, I used to be able to get multiple (well, 2 actually) calendars to sync with my device, and show up on the internal calendar. 1x Gmail (natch) and 1x MS Exchange (which is what I sync'd with Google Apps). Now I can only seem to get a single Gmail calendar to sync - there aren't any options for calendar sync in the account setup screens any more. Have they gone from Android, or just in this ROM?

This is a big problem for me, as I sync my work calendar to one account, and have my personal appt's on the other. Now I can only see one of them. Oops!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
What do you mean? You flashied the update and it made a wipe? Or are you asking if you need a wipe before updating?

You don't need to wipe when updating from CKDroid 1.5.1

So your problem is with exchange calendar, right?

If so read here, with this you should fix your poblem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Just in case anyone hadn't noticed, Exit93 is awesome...

CKDroid is the best 2.1 ROM at the moment. We're on page 53 of comments and questions which he is actively and very patiently answering, something which the devs of other ROMs are unwilling to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
might give this a go tongiht
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sTeppzor-:
noob question. Im new to the Hero section. Have myself a Blackstone but went hero now. I love the look on this room but i just wondering how to update to 1.5.2 after flashin to CKDroid 1.5?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princescar:
the same as you flashing the 1.5 version, except maybe need not to wipe:)

ahh thanx for quick answer :)

com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. What I did wrong? :confused: :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Maybe an app caused this? i never encountered this problem...

Anyway, just uploaded 1.5.2.1 update that finally fixes jbed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
what's the changelog for 1.5.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevios:
It does have an ext partition. Is it anyway possible to change the sd cards?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princescar:
yeah, and i think i will be always supporting the guy named Exit93!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Yes, just copy your files from your 2 giga sd card to 8gb one to keep you apps saves
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalewsiukas:
yes its 1.5.2 and I did everything how its writen. :(

edit:

its the same with 1.5.2.1 and more...

the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
I want to use it , but last time I used 2.1 Rom(s) I had a problem where the phone hangs and doesn't power on at all , I don't know what is the exact problem but I think its the camera , so I will wait until there is a good rom with working camera and I will jump in .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxld:
I had in early versions of this Rom problems with Phone and Home buttons, which didn't work. Is this fixed ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Try making a wipe and reinstalling the rom...

That was caused by google bits not installed, I merged google apps so yes, it's fixed

I don't think that's caused by camera...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond777:
hEY cHEF!

Great cooking, I have flashed my Hero over 200 times for sure trying out all sort of ROMS and this one is really sweet. as for me, no issues besides the mentioned by the Chef itself, no weird things! Facebook integration should really be a must to have in mind while in the kitchen but hey! its a great piece of work. Gonna flash 1.5.2.1 now and patiently waiting for the next update. Definitely gonna get you a pizza for the weekend!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalewsiukas:
how to make a wipe? because im little bit new in that ... :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
In the recovery you can find wipe menu, just wipe data and sd ext partition (if you have an ext partition on your sd)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond777:
HTC Sync issues

Hey guys do we have a problem syncing after flashing ROM? I cant sync at all!!! Chefffff! please update on this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
I plan to donate as soon as I rediscover my paypal login.... hope the iddy biddy amount does not offend :D

Done...donated :)

First 2.1 I can use every day without mssing Sense!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kalewsiukas:
now its all the time restarting... hmz... maybe you can tell me hoow to make a partition, maybe I did something wrong...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
After the wipe you need to reflash the rom

Explain your problem better, google sync or exchange? My google sync is working fine, about exchange i added to the second post (in FAQs) solution to Exchange

Thank you all for your donations :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond777:
Sorry i didnt mention HTC Sync was my "problem". Dont take it on the bad way dude I am happy with this creation, just exposing things out
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevios:
Thank you very much. Had a few permission issues at first but it's working now. You did a great job! :)

edit: Sorry, i have one more question. In other 2.1 Roms I saw an overview of recent running apps (e.g. here or here). Is it possible to activate this in CKDroid or does this have to do with sense or some HTC stuff?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
As I said in many previous posts this isn't an htc framework based rom

Sense is slow and huge

Anyway you can workaround this problem using google sync, and if you want you can also installl Droid Explorer to make APK easily installable from your pc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
Camera working only at 3mpx or less?

oh no. nice rom but this bug is bad
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
one question: why we flash radio? what radio version? is radio FM? cause hero have not fm receiver
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
radio doesnt mean radio ( like what you're thinking ) but gsm radio. broadband in other words
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princescar:
does anybody know how to get a landscape home screen, better to be landscape lockscreen and contact screen too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevios:
You should read the FAQ.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arj03:
I don't know why people are complaining about battery life. Right now I have 29% remaining. Phone says 3 days and 12 hours since being unplugged. This is on 1.5.1 and latest radio (very important!).

This is with light-moderate usage, I uninstalled as many live wallpapers as I could since I don't like that junk and exit was thinking that it might be the reasons for the spontaneous reboots.

All in all I can only say that this ROM has made me love my phone again. Thank you very much exit. HTC need to hire you :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:
Same.

- Dim the display

- Stop syncing every5 mins (mails/etc...)

- disable wifi

- disable sync (generally)

- disable gps

The basic ROM doesnt need much battery. But things like 3G,Display,Sync,etc...

So. Optimize your Hero-Settings and have fun :D

PS: I see no difference in Batt usage (compared to Stock-HTC or MCR). It's the same on all ROM's: Set the right params, and your batt doesnt drain so fast :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:
Camera-Firmware depends on company, and is not open-source. The Android kernel of this ROM is stock-original. It's part of HTC to provide those drivers, and not exit93's tasks.

With this knowledge, it's a damn miracle that exit93 hacked/engineered 3MP out of the cam :D

What I wanna say, this bug is not a thing exit93 can fix easily.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:
@exit93, maybe talk to nprussel (of the VillainROM 2.1 ROM Image). He got the 5MP cam running ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Clarkie:
@Exit93

Thanks for responding to my query. I've tried what was suggested and it hasn't solved the problem. 2x .apk's don't run (force close) when I try to select them.

Also, the issue is one of actually 'syncing' the calendar with Google Apps, rather than 'displaying' it on the device. Google Apps use MS Exchange as their backend for email, contacts and calendar - and it syncs using the Activesync functionality. In the 'setup' wizard for Android 1.5 (don't know about others), there was a select box for which items to sync from this list - so I used 'Exchange' for Contacts and Calendar, and K-9 for email.

Come to think of it, the mail client used was the stock HTC one, so maybe that's the issue here. E.g. using the MoDaCo 3.2beta 'online kitchen', I needed to select HTC mail to get this functionality. I assumed it was already included on your ROM, but maybe it's not?

Also, I tried to update APNdroid on the build and it won't let me do that. Everything else was uninstallable or updateable, except this app. Is there a reason for that?

For all other usage, I love this ROM. It's been great for the last few days, with no stability issues. I'm not a particular fan of the Sense UI, so this ROM is pretty great. I get some slight lag (compared to MC3.2) between input and screen build, when selecting certain apps that have to build a list of things (files, apps etc) - but I don't know if that's a kernel performance issue or not.

All in all, a great ROM. Many thanks. And wonderful how patient you are with everyone here.
