I bluild it with open GLs alternative. You have to reboot the phone about 2 times and then it all works. Had also a couple of FC in the first boot round.

KK, trying now! also did you build with launcher2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pagan:
Nope, with 5 themed.

I baked my own custom rom. But i can't adb remount the phone. And also when i connect usb, the option mount as drive is not showing up.

Anyone else having this problem?

Found the problem, ;) parallels desktop was running and claiming my USB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dave Hagenaars:
Some feedback

- baked with Nexus launcher - Blank/Black screen. No "desktop" appears

- baked with alternatice openGL - very slow

- baked with 5 screens and normal openGL - VERY VERY snappy. :)

I was having all sorts of problems with Laucher 2 - FC's and then after a couple of restarts Launcher would not start.

Live Wallpapers - some of the nexus ones would not actually load over Launcher 2 either.

Recooked ROm with Themed 5 screen home and so far all working ok, including the live wallpapers.

All above done with alt opengl.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MojUk:
OK so experience so far using kitchen is.....

Launcher2 gives the blckscreen on every boot along with fc , seems not to work, have tried with both open gl.

Gmail doesn't pick up my mail automatically, have to manually sync.

Live wallpapers revert to standard wallpaper after being in standby.

Gonna try a buid with standard 5 screens at lunch. ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
I have been browsing this forum for a few days looking for a decent ROM, and after noticing so many bug reports with others, I came across this one today which sounds really good.

I just tried installing this ROM, coming from Modaco and I'm getting a boot loop.

I deleted the data, but was hesitant to format the ext partition because I guess that's what all my App2SD applications are stored on - I have way too many to lose.

Is there anything else I can try? Or a foolproof method that means my apps won't be deleted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] psydroid:
I really like this ROM! Its very clean and fast. So far most works fine, only missing the Exchange calendar.

Some glitches (which all 2.1 ROMs seem to have:

- Live wallpapers not working that well

- Camera kinda messed, functionally working fine with 3MP set.

- Exchange calendar missing

The Kitchen is awesome, you are able to define what kind of pre-installed apps you want. I've went for the less is more and removed almost everything with the kitchen, resulting in a clean and fast ROM :)

Keep up the good work!

HTC Calendar, Contacts and Sync with Outlook

Hello Exit93,

your ROM is very nice! I like to integrate HTC Calendar, Contacts and Outlook into the rom with your great kitchen. Do you know what apk i need to make it work and sync with outlook?

Reason:

I don't like to sync my business calendar with a unknown server. I think you know what i mean. Google don't need to know everything!

If this in not possible, do you know an alternative?:confused:

Else, I've to wait till HTC is done. :(

yours faithfully,

Plattendoktor

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PTomos:
Hey Exit93,

I love your ROM's man. The only thing I really miss is that the contacts sync with facebook correctly, just like the original version on HTC senseUI.

Congratulations and keep the good work ;)

Live wallpaper are working fine for me with alternative opengl

I know about camera at 3mpx, is a problem of all 2.1 aosp roms

To get exchange read faqs

To include htc sync i have to include htc framework and apps, but this is an aosp rom...

About all kitchen releated bugs i'm going to release a fix very soon
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] subz85:
The live wallpapers seem to be hit and miss with me, tried the nexus one and no such luck just a white screen, the startfield worked but then prevented my home screen from reacting the circular clock works fine.

Im using the alternate OpenGL.

Everything else about the rom is sound, Im loving AychTeeSee's launcher.

Good job Exit93.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:
I had the same problem...

i did it the following way:

mkdir c:\temp\my.apks\
adb pull /system/sd/app c:\temp\my.apks\

Now you should have all your apks (apps) on your lokal drive.

Then i baked a new rom using the kitchen, and added my apks (from the app2sd pull above). Cleaned everything on my SD Card (using rm -rf), whiped all other things (dalvik, data, ext2@sd, etc...) and then I flashed the baked ROM.

It's working now :)

Btw, settings are wiped completely with the "method" i explained in this post !

Be sure to know what you're doing before you destroy anything :D

@Exit93:

The "Theme" is only the "arrow" of the app panel, nor ? I noticed no other changes in theme ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
Brilliant, sounds good and makes sense. I'll give it a go after work!

This definitely looks like one of the most promising ROMs around and I can't wait to try it out.

EDIT: I've backed up all my apps using Titanium Backup, but it's a lot more assuring to have a copy on my computer too!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:
Btw, add your apps in the "Custom Apps / Data" window. I only put 3 apps into the "Custom Apps / System" window (the ones for the exchange progs. see faq). The "Data" Part is linked onto the SD Card (app2sd). The "System" Part goes into the "flash area" of the Hero.

[[ DATA WINDOW ]] /data/app -> /system/sd/app ¦¦ On the ext2 of the SDCard (if sd is configured for app2sd)
[[ SYSTEM WINDOW]] /system/app ¦¦ On the system partition of your flash

So it's usually better to "drop" normal apps/sw from the store to data, and system-tools into system.

AFAIK.

And yeah, backup is crucial (Nandroid !)

PS: Instruction to pull from my last post is for app2sd enabled ROM's. Maybe you have to pull /data/app (its the better way, but ya, edit was here :) )

i think you are doing an awesome job dude, lot's of kink's to work out but always going to be the case - best 2.1 aosp rom atm!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uniqron:
Tested this ROM for about 3 hours today. As I have tried many already, testing is becoming quite efficient. I have all APK's I daily use on SD to install, I never use Apps2SD.

I went with the Launcher2 menu, removed most additional message and contacts apps, extra live wallpapers, overclock tool, Astro, all extra widgets, barcode, IM client. Kept the extra market, wifi tether, netcounter / apndroid and the compas, Java, music app, spareparts, proxi, youtube. Removed the taskmanagers, I have others, and they tend to add to instability if you don't manage them well enough. I used the CKDroid APN's.

Sadly, the nav app of my choice: Sygic mobile maps, has no sounds in this rom. It happens, I'm not sure why. Villains, Modaco and technologist kernel based roms give me turn by turn voices, this rom does not. Rendering is swift.

Setup manager was fast and didn't FC. However, I did get TWO random reboots, after having done nothing other than booting, syncing and idling.

Syncing was a succes, preinstalled apps worked, live wallpapers did not. Usually, they would just FC on preview, or the stock bg image would replace it after the dialog closed. Only the matix theme and the orbital clock worked. As they did in the beta...

Fring: only via speakerphone on skypenetwork, FC on receiving custom stuff in other text chats.

Keyboard input: fine, as it should be. Email: IMAP4; problematic, FC on syncing with large mail databases. Rom just didn't seem stable anymore when running.

Launcher 2: In general, not very quick, menu open / close lags, Might try again with another homescreen, this rom was not usable for me.

Been running it for a day now and loving most of it so far.

I've been downloading soooo many Live Wallpapers from Market ( I recommend Swarm Indicator as a great paid one that works fine)

Only problem I have is google services not working very well over 3G. Market wont download apps and Talk wont connect, as well as Gmail not auto syncing. If I start up wifi then all of these work ok.

I'm going to wipe and reinstall fresh again just in case.

Oh, and whats the Launcher 2 update ?

Fantastic work on the ROM, absolutely great.

Only issue for me is when I started baking a ROM in your kitchen. All works but during the signing phase, it ends by saying that its deleted the file cuz the structure or directory or filename is not correct.

All files are in the root of HDD, the ROM is created but when flashing it gives me an error message...

Any advice ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeromex:
I just did :)

Basically after signing the zip, in the DOS command prompt, I can read that the file will be deleted due to the "filename, structure etc not being correct" -- that's as close to the exact wording as I can remember.

Then the package gets created anyway, try to flash it but it tells me that some parts are wrong such as the taskmanager... I tried ti flash various configurations, DOS prompt always gave the same message, and every time the flash did not work ...

Was pretty excited to be able to cook my "own" rom...

Hi,

I was trying "Bluetooth File Transfer" app from the android market to test out bluetooth connectivity.

It can discover devices file (laptops and other bluetooth enabled phones). However, it fails to connect whenever I try to connect to a laptop (says "connection refused" or "connection failed"). Tried with a mac (running osx 10.5) and a laptop running windows 7; same issue. Here are the exact steps I did:

- Enabled bluetooth on the mac/laptop.

- Turned off any firewalls (just in case though I dont think this should be necessary)

- Started search for devices on Hero (using Bluetooth File Transfer app)

- It found the devices OK.

- Clicked on "Create pairing" form the device. It was successful (asked for a pin etc)

- Then selected "Connect" from the Bluetooth File Transfer app (for mac/laptop)

- on the gui, "searching for service" passed, but "connect" failed with an error saying "connection refused"

It manages to connect (and allow me to view contents) within a motorola V3x mobile phone without any problem!!

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Any help to resolve this is much appreciated!

thanks!

I baked a rom with the nexus launcher and alternative open GL but found it too unstable, I had a lot of FC's on jbed and none of my widgets showed properly.

I re-baked with the custom theme and launcher and 5 screens and it is working perfectly and is very stable so Ill stick with that. Only issue I have (which I have had for a while) is that if I turn mobile data off and switch on wifi, then switch mobile data back on, it will not download anything unless I reboot the phone.

Guess Ill just leave mobile data on all the time so its not a huge problem but just thought I would raise it for feedback.

Great Rom as always

Various issues

Hello

First off thanks for taking the time to make this ROM for us.

I've installed this version today at 15:00 hours and made 4 calls, have sent 5 sms,2 mms, and surfed the web for like 10 min. Battery went dead at 20:00 from a full charge in zero in 5 hours. Is this just me and my phone or does this also happens to you guys.

I also had issues with bluetooth and cam.Bluetooth could not be used to send files due to error that said: storage issue.

FYI --> I formated SD card and wiped phone before I installed ROM

Cam froze after I have taken a picture and would not start again, unless you restart phone.

Any input regarding these errors or how to fix them is appreciated
