It's a few menu options deep:

Settings -> Language & keyboard -> Touch Input -> Text Input -> Calibration tool

Though I've not found it to need calibration usually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Its probably always best you run this though, it may make a difference you don't notice and it only takes a minute.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
Nathan, any news on the mms issue, last think i heard you said you thought you had sorted it,

ps. gratz about the dev hero :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
The IM error your getting is a known problem dating back to the days of Haykuro Roms on the G1

You'll be able to sign in while connected to a wireless router, unfortunately there isnt a solution at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
No news as of yet. I only had three hours developing last night, and I'm at work until late tonight. Tomorrow, I'm up early to go from Sheffield to Cumbria (in the snow by the looks of it), then I'll be back late again.

After all that work-based carnage, I'm off for 4 days, and will be getting the dev hero.

I still aim to get a beta 4 out tonight, but judging by my current workload, I'm going to have to say it's 50/50 at best.

Thanks for your patience.

ANOTHER NOTE: If I don't answer your post, don't assume you've been ignored. I have read every single post in the thread, but I do not have time to answer everything; especially considering how many times people repeat previously noted issues.

Every bug is being recorded. Believe me, I have an epic list to work on ;)

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ah ok I will try that later then, not tried on wifi yet I don't think
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I am amazed anyway, you dev, twitter, keep an eye on the forum and have a job. Don't tell me you have a family as well.

You must be a woman since men can't multitask :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I have a fiancee.. no kids though.

Thanks, anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
yes, i get a call with my alarm on at the same time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Really? well if that's the case you might need to find a new third part alarm app and see if that helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
When I want Export Contacts to sdcard, it export all of my contacts,even my sim contacts,Double.when i want import back my contacts are double. jeny . jeny x x.

if i change view nothing happen.and again double contacts. any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Not sure what causes it (might be a problem with google sync), but just delete one of each contact, you may find they have not all been doubled.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
i don't use google sync and facebook or twiter.my normal contacts are doubled
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
is there a software for pc to edit the vcf contact files?

thanx

EDIT: I Found One : vCardOrganizer
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Microsoft outlook

Microsoft outlook express

Windows Live Mail

Mozilla Thunderbird

to name but a few, of those I'd recommend the last in the list (mainly as I try to avoid M$ programs as much as I can)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cobbleswl:
Hi Np,

Love the Rom and can't wait for the finished one.

One thing, is there any way to add the note's app from modaco 3.1 or can any one tell me how to extract it from the rom so I can install it my self?

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
I think it's an app called Notes (by Yuri) and you find it for free in market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cobbleswl:
Thanks for the reply but this is not the app, I think its from the Htc Dragon or something like that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
Gmail Push

I have just noticed that if I leave my phone in the GMAIL account.. the mail pushes through no problem. Its when I go back to home screen it stops.. Maybe something in that as to why push isn't working correctly
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Oh, okay. In fact I've never used that app. Just thouht I had read it was that app. I always remove it in the modaco kitchen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
Hey.

I havent been too active posting in this thread, but checking it several times a day. The minor bugs I have with this rom have already been mentioned , it`s outstanding. I have wife and kids, but still find time for flashing, looks like my new hobby is waiting for new updates of Villain....

Allthough there`s a lot of good developers here at XDA, I`ve havent seen anyone as devoted as our man Nathan here. As far as I can see you take all questions seriously and answer them the best you can . Thanks for that , just sendt a donation your way.

Thanks also to Lennyuk for your advices.

Since this is one of the most active threads at the moment I hoped it was okay to ask a few questions a little off topic. I just started flashing android a couple of weeks ago and still feel newbee..

1. By FULL wipe , does that mean only the first option or include the dalvik , ext and so on? wont wiping ext delete your apps if you use app2sd?¨

2. Are there any of the backup solutions that will backup your scenes so that you dont need to spend all that time putting your contacts, widgets and shourtcuts back to your home screens?

3. I have seen the comands for using app2sd, but still dont understand where to put them. I`m using windows. When partioning your SD card for this rom , should it be ext 2 or 3, and how big should the swap size be.

4. Last but not least , I would be glad for the future links of beta roms. How is that done? Do I PM you my E-mail?

Thanks again.

By the way I have searched for answers before posting but couldnt find it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
1) Full includes Davlik.

2)I've not found one but would love someone to correct me on this.

3) You download the android sdk for windows. extract that and you'll find a tools folder. Those commands are typed in a command line on your PC.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

4) As things stand (please correct if I'm wrong) the beta's go to those who got on the beta team (except one prat (my full opinion of him is not publishable here so that's the polite edition) who published the beta) and anyone who has donated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
First of all, thanks a lot; I really appreciate it.

1. By full wipe, I just mean the Wipe Data/Factory Reset Option in Recovery. It's probably a good idea at this stage to wipe your Dalvik Cache too.

2. I take it you're referring to an application that'll simply restore everything as it was laid out before the wipe? I'm not aware of such an application unfortunately. The intention was to provide a major rom, then offer no-wipe updates for it, but I find the full wipe updates to be more reliable.

3. The apps2sd commands are done in command prompt. You'll need the correct drivers for the phone installed (it'll say MyHTC in device manager).

You'll need the SDK (linked above). Once installed, go to command prompt, and do the whole cd.. cd.. cd sdk, cd tools... etc, until you're in your SDK\Tools directory. From there, you can run the ADB commands. Good luck!

Have you ever used ADB to push/pull files before? Sorry, I can't answer much about apps2sd, as I honestly don't really see the point in it (sorry!)

4. You have donated, therefore, you're automatically on my mailing list. It is now setup automatically :)

Thanks again for the support; I hope someone has the time to more accurately answer your questions. I've just got in, and have next to no time to work on the beta tonight :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
great rom! i even got opengl working with it by pushing a file from the mocado rom, im happy now :) lol

is there any way to have live wallpapers and the eclair clock on this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
If you tell me which file you pushed to get that working, you just made 1.2.

Oh, and with Open GL working, chances are, I can get Live Wallpapers working too.

EDIT - was it libhgsl?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Hi,

FYI .....Issue I have with Google Nav ( a beta in itself I realise ) is that after typing a destination and clicking 'Navigate' it switches to Nav screen but jumps back to the search screen so I cannot see the navigation map page.

This worked fine however in the CKDroid ROM :confused:

Good work!

Phil
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevios:
nprussell, could you release a no-wipe update for 1.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
No it doesn't here.

I'm also unable to remove Gdansk (or add one) from weather widget.

also getting a FC on weather news widget (process com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget) (Problem loading gadget)

FC on:

ConnectBot

Barcode Scanner

Goggles after taking a shot

install Google Maps Navigation when browser opens (but it downloads)

some lag at some points
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tazandpig:
Excellent stuff!

First things first - a huge 'Thank You' for this ROM. Very well done indeed.

But... What's with all the whinging and whining that 'this doesn't work' and 'that doesn't work' and 'I'm going back to Modaco'? For gawds sakes guys (and the odd girl, probably) get a grip - this is a ROM in development. As such, it's fairly obvious there are going to be some things that are not working fully (if at all), or possibly not to your liking.

Give the guy working on it a break and a wee 'thank you' for doing a heck of a lot more work on this than you are - without his efforts you wouldn't have anything to play around with! Altruism isn't without effort, you now.

If you feel in the mood to complain about anyone's efforts, why don't you try directing your complaints to HTC, who are WAY behind were this guy (amongst others) is at the moment.

I don't comment here much, but seriously guys - give some praise where it's due. And just accept that not everything is perfect, but heading in the right direction. All to often these days, I see nothing but leeching and moaning from those that would never even consider pitching in and actually making an effort to contribute. Probably because they're too busy demanding everything done to suit themselves and won't be happy until it is.

The feet-stamping and minor tantrums make half of you appear about 10 years of age, for goodness sakes :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChrisShUK:
I can also confirm this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
I was going to ask that. It can take 30 mins to an hour to set everything up as you like, tbh I wont bother if each release wipes everything. Please tell us now if this is the case.

On a plus side, this is an awesome ROM, has some of the things I was worried I'd miss, like in other roms.

Bugs I see -

News & Weather widget FC all the time

No Group's on the HTC Contacts app :(

Once again, great ROM, I would highly recommend to others.

*Has someone explained somewhere how I could get Apss2SD working with this?*
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wizkid6000:
I can change my local from Gdansk, but everything else is same with me, Hope this helps. Oh and add a nowipe update for 1.2! woop :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
Thank you someone that thinks the same as me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm working on 1.1b right now, attempting to fix the missing HTC stuff (calendar, music, twitter) & OpenGL.

It'll be a wipe again though... sorry folks!

FYI - In future, I'll try and release as updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
well, I put it again because I think my other post has been ignored. If you want to make the network location work, you can flash the NetLoc package. I have taken it from the CKDroid topic, but it works fine for me.

Here you have the download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DI5C1JSQ
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
other thing, the gmail app doesn't sync automatically, I have to press refresh to sync, and that's a bit annoying
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xavi_7_77:
Nobody spends that does not work for gmail mail update automatically?

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcdillon:
I really liked your ROM. Gave it ago for about an hour, but as you said it'll be a wipe for the next update I've reverted back to my old ROM.

I really liked how quick your ROM is and all of the updates for Android 2.1 are very nice (still waiting on HTC to update the Hero :()

On the flip side, I need the Microsoft exchange (for Uni email) I just couldn't get it to work, said it couldn't set up the account. I couldn't get the HTC weather app working (could just be my fault).

I'll give the update ago when you push it out. I'd probably swap to your ROM if it doesn't require a full wipe next time :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
Can we skip this one and just update when 1.2 is ready?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
I wouldn't bother setting up much at this early stage. But I would recommend titanium backup apk's & settings) and/or Astro to backup apk's if that helps anyone. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] diabolik:
With NetLoc-signed.zip network location works fine for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Personally I'm not worried if I have to flash, as long as I have my contacts backed up which I do, I'm going to just keep flashing ROms until I get the best, so far I'm loving yours, with exchange mail added and a fix for the Gdansk problem, (along with addition of Calendar, OpenGl and whatnot)this will be perfect and I'll be sticking.

Thanks a lot for all the work, you're doing excellently.

EDIT: NetLoc fixed my network location problem too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] langer hans:
Had to restore my nandroid backup.

Get a FC of com.android.phone everytime after entering my Pin...

But its a really nice rom, keep up the good work!

Oh, and Keyboard Input lags pretty much for me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
Thanks for quick answers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Thank you for this. I'll look into it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smirge:
For all the torrent users - here's TEST 3 torrent from utorrent's private tracker - it has been testet and works brilliantly...not so fast at first but if a lot of ppl use it it will be!!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I have been using 3.0 for a while now but i actually think is kinda laggy.

Overclock widget is installed and running on full and I keep killing tasks but it doesn't really help.

Before I was using Modoca and with that ROM the Hero is fast as hell.

Nathan, you think this will get better in the future ROM releases? Or is the Hero just not fit to run on android 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
This is never going to be as quick as Modaco, due to it not being based on an stock rom.

As soon as we have the stock rom, it'll be far faster.

I have made this rom about as fast as I can make a 2.X sense rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Just tried to put torrent on my server and am getting connection error. Was hoping to conribute a 100Mbit line to the file

Bluetooth error

Hi, I tried to run bluetooth application (Bluetooth File transfer) and got following error: "Bluetooth error. Can't initialize low-level Bluetooth library! Reason: bt_api->version2->bt_socketClient->constructor. Can't correctly load the Bluetooth client socket"

Question: Can I use bluetooth for file transfer (may be another application)?

Great ROM,

Thank you very much (see donation ID #7T866445EL576964L)

Mikhail
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
I've not found Modaco's ROM any faster than this. However as things stand 2.1 is currently best guess (from what I understand) until HTC release their 2.1 and then we have a stable build to modify/learn from. The reason Android went from 1.6 to 2.0 is because there were alot of changes to the OS, as such the currently released Kernel from HTC may well not be fully compatible with 2.1. Now I'm sure I'll be corrected on some of that but that's as I understand it from my understanding of this OS and from previous experience with Linux.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Any update on probability of beta 4 release tonight Nathan?

I keep refreshing the page and it would appear my girlfriend isn't quite as understanding as your fiancee.

Not meant as a hassle, just as a means to shut her up complaining at me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Oke thanks. I think it compares to the 1.5 stock rom speed wise so you did a good job imo. Let's just hope HTC does what they promised and release 2.1 soon.

I am really curious to what you can do with a stock 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Haha!

I've only been in since 8:45pm, and I have to be at work at 7am.

I've made a little progress, but if I'm being realistic, the chances of me releasing beta 4 tonight is slim. It'll be after work tomorrow. I know I said today, but real life is dominating at the moment I'm afraid.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smirge:
That's weird cause already 5 ppl have downloaded the zip file without any problems - and although i am only on a 1 Mbit upload stream it was maxed out from the get go ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Mate, take your time, RL should always come first, I've learnt that in the past. As I said I wasn't meaning to hassle was merely trying to save my own ass ;). I'll keep checking until it's not worth the skin on my back to check again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smirge:
Just tested again with a mate of mine from Norway - i myself am located in Denmark - and he is also downloading the file nicely...dunno what's up with that...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Have used uTorrent and Transmission and am getting HTTP error 300, tracker hasn't responded

Getting bit late for me to play tonight and will look into things tomorrow;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smirge:
Anyone that can teach me something about torrents then ? :D

I added the file - used tracker http://my_own_wan_ip:port/announce

the resulting torrent i just added into utorrent - and uploaded the torrent to my website and pasted link here

where did i go wrong ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hurtcake:
Have followed this thread for a couple of weeks now, and loving your work. Good Work! Will donate something for your trouble soon :)

The torrent works for me, and seeding with the Universitynetwork, (its fast) ;)

Looking forward to the next release!

Holycrap 3.0 is fast!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smirge:
Right ppl - readjusted some bugs apparantly in utorrent about webgui and alternative ports documented on utorrents forums - please redownload torrestn - all should work as intended now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
forget it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fisgaz:
just donated...

how does this work?

i get a download link on my email? how soon?

thanks nathan!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smirge:
for one - let the man sort out his job, family and everything else first :D

THEN wait for him to develop in the rom - and dont pick on him cause u want something fast - cause you don't.

you want something good and stable - and that takes time

In the meantime try out other stuff from the forums or endulge youself in the phone capabilities :)

Kind regards...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fisgaz:
i believe i askeda normal question.

donators get to test out closed releases. i donated so i get that too, i guess.

just like you.

i didnt demand anything, neither acted arrogant. i just want to know how long does it take for a donator to get a download link.

simple.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
Wait until the beta is finished first ;) I hopes the closed beta is ready tomorrow :D So just sit back and relax
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
For some reason the tracker started working this morning, have now got it on 2x100Mbit servers. If everyone seeds for a while it should be a really fast download link now:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JayCe98:
Good morning,

a few additional bug reports (still on the beta 3)

- my first wake up alarm seems to goes of at the expected time but the sound comes only minutes after, and when stopping the alarm, the whole HTC sense desktop crashes

- the second alarm goes of the same way (screen and lights on but no sound) and freezes before the sound goes on. The only way to unfreeze the phone is to remove the battery.

- 3 times out of 4, when I am notified of people updates and open it with the people application from the notification bar, the application crashes

will try with only one alarm tomorrow morning, hopefully this will be enough for me to get up ;-)

by the way, with the latest radio ROM, battery usage has improved :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] infernose:
i flashed the rom, set up the APN, it refuse to sign on to google and complain about data connection. if i skip the google sign-on, i can hit the launcher and launch exchange settings. i set up the exchange and i am able to send and receive mails without problems. this proves that the APN have been set up properly but yet google sign-on still failed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sedinix:
I find next problem Alarm clock. I set for 7.30 and its ring on 7.34 and freeze so I cant shout down "dryn dryn" :/ very stressfull You wake up and must remove battery in your hero :P try it after you wakeup not easy :P

And if you can do somthink with startup sound its to loud :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
This happend to me too today..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hurtcake:
Anyone else having problem with the SuperUser? Had to uninstall Overclockwidget, because nothing happens with SU. I dont get a FC, just a blank screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
`

Strangely exactly the same thing happened to me this morning, it did at least suceed in making sure I really woke up though :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Luckily I use a 3rd party app for my alarm and I am having no such problems.

Also my volume on my start up has lowered (not all the time but mostly now) strange.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
"My Backup Pro" used to backup your home screen settings but this seems to have disappeared now in the latest update.

I know it had trouble but was fine so long as you made sure you were restoring onto a "clean slate" scene setting so not sure why they removed this option.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Cheers, I've not used that in a while so I guess I'll have to load some of my older nandroid backups in the hope I've got an old version of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
I've looked at the last 4 pages, but I cannot find anyone else mention this:

I can navigate through the market and search and find things, but nothing downloads from the market.

Also nothing shows up in the notification area about something starting to download from the market.

Is it only happening to me that nothing can be downloaded from the market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Got today the same prob with the Alarm-.-

But i solve annother prob: for me Mobile network only works if WLAN is also enabled!

Beta Wave 4 Released for Donators only.

how do i download a beta as a donator???

Ronen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] monkeyberry:
hi

i also donated but no clue how to download beta. nothing was sent to me???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
The last available beta can be downloaded from the first post in this thread. When the next, and closed beta, is finished you'll get an e-mail with the download link. Beta 4 is not finished at the moment!
