If you can do better, plz show us and bring out your own custom ROM, else it's wiser to respect the people putting time and effort in this work and keep comments like that to yourself.

Hey I got whizzy clouds on my home screen :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Did you do anything to get it, or did it just happen 'out the box'?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
it happens out of the box..once u get ur internet working and the weather widget updates...everytime i unlock my screen i see clouds..all over...just like in the touch hd2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
hey posted there by mistake, and was calling himself an idiot for doing so.

go make your own Rom if you don't like his!

Jesus some people on this site have real issues.

Everyone else don't forget to check the FAQ in post 1 or my sig before asking questions :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Must try 3.2 tonight with the APNs and see for myself. Sounds interesting :) Thanks for posting.

Anyone notice their battery life being a bit pants on this? I charged mine up fully (completed at 1pm), now sat at 59%!! Thats with just a bit of 3G browsing, email etc. Nothing more... Definitely worse battery life...will live with it for a bit longer but could do with sorting out or at least figuring out why :)

That said, amazing ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ^Intruder^:
Jup, it seems it wants to focus and when it's got focus, it starts the focussing procedure from the start again.

I managed to get 1 barcode scanned, took me 10 minutes :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Battery life is bad on all roms based on this leak i think.

Although it has not seemed that bad to me so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
But the widget battery life is great :)

Bluetooth and carkit

I paired the 3.1 rom on my Hero it to my Parrot carkit today. It could connect and all, but the interesting part comes now:

- the 1.5 stock rom caused contacts with multiple numbers to show up multiple times, each for one of the numbers;

- the 3.1 VillainROM causes contacts to show up only once, with a random number chosen from the available numbers - usually mobile but sometimes the home phone number.

Likely caused by the bluetooth implementation. Not sure if it relates to the rom or if HTC is doing funny stuff.

Wow, this trolling is getting annoying pretty damn fast, please knock it off guys.

About the weather widget, I had rain ánd the wiper blade all over my homescreen. Pretty freaking nice :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Trying to bring this back to the ROM, what's the general consensus on battery life/usage.

Anyone tried running

ps

to see if there are any unusual processes running all the time? By unusual, I really mean 'constantly running, battery draining', just not sure of a good word for that.

I'm thinking I'll wait till 3.2 before flashing, as I would prefer some of the mentioned niggles fixed before trying it (ie. exchange sync etc.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
This ROM is the biggest deviation from all other 2.x ROMs I have tried, and I am LOVING it... It's got me really excited for the official HTC ROM now. Cannot believe how fast it is, navigating the phone etc. But my word, it DRINKS the battery! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
people having battery issues are you guys using overclock?

If you use overclock and set it very low when screens off it should really help your battery life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Newman27:
Cant download

Thanks for this rom looks good been waiting for this quick question can any one re-upload as every time i download it gets to a certain point says its completed but has only download like 25mb most ive got up to is 65mb :confused: if any can re-upload i would be so grateful :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
check my sig - FAQ there are loads of mirrors listed there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Great ROM. Wake up seems a bit slow so lock screen doesn't respond for a while. I also found that on my 3.1, busybox didn't seem to have installed itself properly. e.g. There were no links from typical command line programs back to busybox - and the old programs were still in place like /system/bin/ls, /system/bin/rm /system/bin/ln and so forth. With busybox actually installed, all these should be links back /system/xbin/busybox.

Also had the problem with facebook contacts not being synced. I think that was a facebook sync issue because I eventually got it to force sync.

BTW, I'm testing on my secondary Hero at the moment to see how it fares.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
I´m using overclock, but I have the feeling it does not set the changes when I am applying too.

It is always on 480 and 527, even when I set it 128 when idle.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
you press "save" at the bottom of the list?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
jap, but I have this feeling since 2.8 MCR

The only kernel which was a little customizable was tecknologists 1.7 and 1.8.

It looks like that the kernel has another priority in applying then the overclock widget, it overwrites simply the commands from the widget.

Can I flash espresso rosie optimized over the top of this rom?

Because I like more the looks of espresso rosie
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uniqron:
Nathan,

Would it be alright if I'd post this awesome rom on the Usenet and host the NZB-index here?

I figure if you use a share option like torrents, others such as FTP / Usenet would be alright.

Downloading / installing 3.1 now. If I like it as much as 1.2.1 back then, you might get another donation ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snaven:
anybody have 'live local search' or text-to-speech working in copilot?

not sure if its available on android 2.1.

i had 'live local search' when running the exact same version of copilot on 1.5. apparently text-to-speech is a 1.6 and above feature.

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
3.2 coming in a few hours ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not sure if nathan is around right now, but I really don't think anyone here takes any issue with hosting mirrors. The more mirrors available, the more useful it is for others who can't use torrents/particular blocked sharing sites.

I really doubt that anybody would mind, and it just gives another option for those who use newsgroups.

EDIT: Nathan's appeared now announcing 3.2 :) See if he comments...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
nice one, what have you changed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kmoon:
My problems so far are

GPS works in Maps but not in Navigation

Facebook doesn't sync

Applications that try to use the internet can't access.

This includes images in Gmail and FourSquare info pages.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
For the latter, that may be fixed in 3.2 with the APN settings... Not certain though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Houps, i posted this on BeHero, but it's with Villain ROM:

To help on battery drain: I get this messsge every second, even when screen off:

This message come in Logcat every second, i think that's why the bettery drains so fast!

No other explanation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fozzieb:
any news on the Exchange sync problem, i have tried behero rom too and it cant even connect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattywoz:
My GPS has just stopped working again which is weird. Reboot with GPS turned on worked again for me.

thanks mate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fisgaz:
mine, only till "D"

hope 3.2 solves this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Does spare parts indicate a very high partial wakelock usage or CPU for any particular processes? Does this continue when screen is off (ie, when should be in sleep)? Perhaps it can't enter sleep because of this???

Solution for disappearing HTC Sense widgets

In the application settings, clear the data of the Sense application. This will reset your home screen / scene to default but all widgets will we back, even across reboots.

For some odd reason I can no longer connect my hero to my pc in storage mode. I can select storage mode, but no drive letter pops up. I can only copy files to it in recovery mode.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@tristan202

+1 had this issue too (reboot does help, but I had to make a complete fresh start with formating the sd card)

but it lets you choose if you want to use the usb connection for charging, storage or sync
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Spare parts shows nothing that should alarm me.

This message is show every second even when the phone has the screen off ( when it should be sleeping)

So i think that a process always run in background and drain the battery with this request.

I am the only one to have this message in logcat?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
I know. And I choose storeage mode, but it won't assign a drive letter. And that really bugs me, because I'm working on a Metamorph theme for 2.1, and it's a bummer having to restart in recovery every time I need to copy a few files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
you da man! haven't tried a reboot yet, but it worked so far! funny, i was just messing with the rom and for the first time ever the widgets were missing (flashed it like 20 times today...), this tip couldn't have come at a better time ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Could you run the command 'ps' in adb and post the output. Just so we can see if there's something running that isn't on someone else's phone. I'm waiting till 3.2 to install on my hero, but if there's anyone else with 3.1, could they check logcat (run adb logcat from your pc with phone connected via usb) and see if this appears while screen is off.

I think this is the root of the battery issue, as it won't be getting to sleep if logcat messages are being generated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
you could use adb push to get the files to sdcard without mounting it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] am6000:

@am6000

Eris leak is CDMA based, with CDMA you have no SIM. So the problem is with the ROM and not fixed now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
I'd rather use my two pane explorer. Besides it has worked earlier on. It just suddenly stopped. It usually assigns a driveletter as soon as I plug it in, but it first gets accesible when I mount the card. Now nothing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Here is the output
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hi Kendon,

trying to help someone here who's noticed the following in their logcat every second, even with screen off so it should be in sleep.

03-05 21:05:30.660: ERROR/DMAgent(25584): SMD Port open failure.[v1.1.2.12231200]

I've tried to find out what smd port is, but to no avail. I've asked them to do a 'ps' to see what's running, as they report nothing strange in spare parts.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sorry, should have made myself clearer

'adb shell' first, then type 'ps'. Forgot to mention shell :blush

Sorry bout that. could you try it again>
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i'd try to repartition the card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
afaik this problem is with the leaked rom. i have not the slightest idea what it is or what causes it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks, kendon :)

@ profete162, you could try that. Be sure to take a backup first, then do so from within recovery. I've found out that /system/bin/dmagent is the app in question. Not sure what it does though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks. Having a look at it now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kookix:
For those having issue with facebook sync, they could use this little program very useful: Google Contact Sync

As of right now it will allow you to manually sync Facebook Contact photo to Google Contact, and allow you to “link” 2 contacts so you can automatically update all Google Contacts later.

Even more useful for those not having Sense and facebook sync !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hinz:
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. I noticed that after turning it off, i could not access my SD Card
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
This ROM looks nice, but as the new official Éclair update is approaching I don't know if it's worth it...

Does anyone have some pictures or videos of this ROM, so that I get convinced to try it :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Thank all for your fast and efficient help. I am "backupping" my sdCard and will format it with the recovery.

I'll send you feedbacks in 5-6 minuts.

Exchange works out of the box for me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
It failed to wipe ext on recovery and tell me to # wipe ext in adb..

so do I:

# wipe ext
wipe <system|data|all>

system means '/system'
data means '/data'

I think that wiping system is not what i want to do and data is useless...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fozzieb:
did it ask you to change password for exchange?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pbering:
Exchange email and contacts syncs perfect, but calendar is not syncing at all - I'm on 3.1 but was the same on 3.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
For people who get the SMD error message try this file:

http://www.mediafire.com/?yt1jrdmmtj3

You will need to push it to /system/bin using adb (remember to make a backup first!!)

It essentially forces the SMD to succeed, even though it doesn't. Going to check why it fails, so this is just temporary.

Oh and Nathan, I hope you don't mind :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kookix:
Need a fix to:

E/DMAgent ( 1520): SMD Port open failure.[v1.1.2.12231200]

Pop up every 5 seconds in logcat/dalvik debug mode

IS there an IRC channel somewhere to talk about this ROM ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bitpatrol:
It probably asks you to enter a security code ... Apparently this new rom now plays along with the stupid security rules of Exchange (if your company or provider uses the extra security features of Exchange)

Basically, all I need to do now is enter an extra security code ... This will lock your device, each time you unlock the initial screen the Hero will ask for this security code ...

The security code can be whatever you want, as long as it is 4 characters (like 1111 or abcd) ... It's a pain in the ...

[edit] Does anyone else have a problem with wifi ? It detects the AP but I can't connect to it ... It just doesn't connect, doesn't accept the password...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
@kookix,

fancy trying the file posted by HomerSp?

You'd need to download it and unzip, then use the command 'adb remount', then 'adb push /path/to/downloaded/file /system/bin/dmagent'

Possibly would also need a 'chmod 755 dmagent' afterwards. Maybe HomerSp can advise...

@HomerSp, thanks for looking into this one. I'll probably flash 3.2 when it comes out, and then take a look. Out of interest, what does MDAgent do, and what is SMD? I googled but couldn't find much...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaymac407:
Thanks :D :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Killbom:
My facebook contact pictures wont sync :/

Anyone know some app that does it, all seems to have been taken from market :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Trying to find that out myself.

What's interesting is that there's a binary called smd in /system/bin.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] immya:
i dont know whats wrong, it seems to freeze on the nexus boot screen after flashing it

same thing happened this moning also :~
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
tbh, do a nandroid backup then try it if you dont liek it you can go back in about 2 minutes :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bitpatrol:
Did you try pressing the power button (end call) ? It helped me out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Same here...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
There's also an mdagent binary in /system/bin...

Not found out what it is yet though. going to check on aosp and see if anything appears.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kookix:
I try the fix but it seems the error appears again. (reboot did)

Do we need to give permission to the file ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hkkla:
Phone rebooted itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] immya:
yeah tried it, didnt work

ah well ill just wait till 3.2, its only a few hours away
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not sure, but I guess you would need to give it executable permission, since it is a binary. I think the command is 'chmod 755 /system/bin/dmagent', but check the filename first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Is there any way to stop it doing this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK, smd looks to be something to do with USB/ADB/Networking.

See pic for some info inside the file
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
The problem could be that /dev/smd does not exist.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
smd is used for GPRS, it's possible it is missing because this is a CDMA phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andready:
Great work on the ROM, Nathan. Very stabel and fast.

Just one thing. I can't get navigator to talk, when I am driving. I also can't find navigator inside maps. Is there somebody, who can explane how navigator works?

/andready:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fozzieb:
ah, now i get it.

Cheers mate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Could very well be that.

I created the /dev/smd dir and now I'm not getting that error anymore (with the original dmagent).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds likely... That would also explain why folks who had 2G only enabled couldn't get any internet...

I wonder what would happen if we replaced smd with that from a GSM build from aosp? Anyone got a plain aosp gsm build handy? I'd need to d/l one just for the one file :(

More from that smd file:

Sounds like there's some weird stuff there like the whole bit to do with wiping.

Sorry for using pics, just that I can't get the non-printable characters to paste at all :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
How do you do that ? I tried "mkdir /dev/smd" but i've still got the error on logcat...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
still getting:

E/DMAgent ( 170): SMD Port open failure.[v1.1.2.12231200]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
For some reason I'm not getting the error anymore... :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
Somebody said the battery drain was normal as soon as it is kernel relevant. Is it true ? Just have to roolback to Modaco, so bad this ROM is awesome !

I don't have any spare AOSP's laying round, sorry :(

I got a pretty ood connection, I am downloading one now. If I get it before you do I'll post the file
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sorry to repeat myself, but does anyone have any opinions on getting the file from a vanilla 2.1 gsm rom and trying it. Reason I suggest is that I reckon it will be part of the aosp code that may not actually get modified by htc.

If it's worth a shot, which rom would be best? (I don't have any, but could download one to get the file)

OK. Now d/ling vanillain 1.1, as it claims fully working 2g/3g/hsdpa

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I'm downloading CynogenMod from MoDaCo, so the idea is I just create the folder on my hero and copy the files in?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiz ^^:
original dmagent restore (do I need to give special persmission to it?), create the dir, did a reboot but it seems the issue is still there =/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
what is vanillain based on?

the only rom i could find it in was jnwhitey's 2.0.1 aosp...

edit: pushed it, still the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
can't remember what it was based on, but I'm d/ling the 1.1 of vanillain, you've got a file from the good jnwhitely, and l0st.prophet is getting cyanogenmod.

@all, when you get the rom, extract it to your hard drive, browse to system/bin and pop 'smd' into a zip and upload it to the forum as an attachment. Then, we can try adb remounting, adb pushing, then fixing permissions to execute and rebooting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
While this is true, something posting to the log every second will only make matters worse. While fixing this won't bring battery levels to stock levels, it will improve it drastically. It will also fix the problem with "2G Only" not working

EDIT: Well, cynogenmod doesn't contain a smd file in the /system/bin/ so I don't think that's where we the problem is...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
not in there, i got it here.

edit: not in cm-hero-v1.0, don't know if it might work with a g1 file?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
well said, l0st.prophet!

This is all for interest, as the kernel will always be an issue, although this should help us a lot! Unless... we could get our good chinese leaking friend to try and get us a kernel or some sources ;)

That would be nice, but also probably not good for his job security if it ever got traced back...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
Just have to ask :)

View attachment smd.zip

@l0st.prophet : I agree of course.
