Simply Wonderful.....

This is a beautifully developed ROM. Everything that I need or use on my phone is working.

I will look forward to optimisations and other refinements as the developers time permits.

Cheers

Can't wait to test out 1.2.

I hope push is fixed for gmail the rest i don't really need.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Dang Nathan, you're one active dev in this forum by responding to the replies so quickly and keeping us up to date with all the small details. Good job and keep up the good work man :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fcknghll:
Hi Russel

Excellent job mate! Keep up the great work, best 2.1 rom out there ;).

I have a teeny tiny request. Would you be able to port the stock 2.1 gallery app as seen on the KaguDroid by lox_dev? Would be ace if you could include that in the next build or have it so it can be installed separately :)

Once again, smashing ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docsamsom:
Hi,

Fantastic ROM. One small request. Is it possible to add the HTC native dialer instead of the android one? Its easier to scroll between numbers with the HTC dialer.

Cheers

Samsom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
Sorry for the silly question, but do you need root access for this ROM? I don't have root access and dont want to go through the struggle of flashing and it dont work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Yes, you do!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fredisco:
Hehe.. changing the lockscreen to classic might not look so cool :) (see picture)

Small report: Wow, what an impressive ROM!

Most of the things I've tested with the 3.0 ROM is working very well, exchage (mail, contacts, calendar). I have done 1 hour of testing and no major problems.

I have no disappearing widgets or anything that I have found. However there are some minor and they have all been mentioned.

* Facebook sync: People -> Updates and events.

* Gallery: Landscape + Camera link in Gallery

Looking at the DalvDebugMon I can see is error every 5 seconds:

03-04 23:28:07.623: ERROR/DMAgent(2089): SMD Port open failure.[v1.1.2.12231200]

Wonder what the DMAgent does?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DJBenson:
Having the widget issue myself. I don't use A2SD so I just did a factory/dalvik wipe before flashing.

Also - USB debugging won't turn off. When I connect in "sync" mode, USB debugging is enabled and when I turn it off, it is back on again next time I connect.

Not sure if it's because of the USB debugging but I cant get HTC Sync to work (latest version on Windows 7) - was fine with 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
Oooh, I must thank you for this wonderful rom.

It´s hard to understand how an old Hero can be this quick.

great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mauro269:
Nathan....you've done a great job!

I've no issue with widgets...the speed of this rom is incredible!Very very good!!

The google gallery has a grafic problem in landscape, instead the HTC gallery has no problem of this kind.

The alarm works well, the leds too, gmail push works very fine. The HTC weather works in the widget (I live in Palermo, Italy...and it says the right), but when I click on the clock it gives me the weather of Amsterdam.

The other things work GREAT!!!!Fantastic....I can't believe that now we have Android 2.1 on Hero! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
Its set in the boot.img. Would need you unpack change and repack to change this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
can any UK user, advise how to get geniewidget.apk to display UK news. I had a 1.5 port which did. Is it that it needs a different version of the .apk, or is it something to do with the phone thinking it is in the US?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thank you very much. No major problems seen so far except root. HTC widgets now ok (may be because I had flashed hero-droid1 before).

Really worth my donation:)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Helbore:
Done everything except for wiping the ext partition. Someone suggested using a flash recovery utility, but I don't have one so not sure how I'd go about doing that.

Waited for 30 mins on first boot. Pretty sure that is more than long enough!

If you can point me in the direction of instructions on how to wipe the ext partition, I'd be grateful.

i´ll wait, promise!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Revoked:
I was wondering the same thing, getting the error every 5 secs aswell...

Might be causing battery drain?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mmiii:
Battery life is not good, I think.

Backside of the Hero is warm

Can´t download apps from market via wifi ?!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
You have this installed right

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=561124 and you took nandroid backup, if you reload that does you phone boot back to your previous rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
I've not had a problem with the apps.. Back is warm but I'm charging the phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mauro269:
Guys, I've flashed and I've really no problems with this rom. Maybe I'll post here what are the steps that I've followed.

Nandroid Backup for security

Wipe ALL...EXT Partition, Data Cache, Delvik Cache and the other voices under the Wipe Field of your FlashRecovery.

Flash the ROM

The bootloader is shown for 3-4 minutes, no more

Configure your Hero.

Synchronize all for the first time.

Reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayceejayh:
A spot of Googling suggets it's something to do with BusyBox
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Helbore:
Think I've got an older version. It doesn't have all the options available listed in that post. Looks like I should try updating my bootloader first!

I'll give that a go and see how I fare. Thanks.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kassemalaa:
lockscreen question

when we delete the htc lockscreen, is it possible to add a wallpaper to the transparent stock lockscreen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notoriousdns:
Great rom. Not laggy at all here.

2.1 is a beautiful build, with all the new menu's, backgrounds, visuals and such! I also really like the new overview on your seven desktops.

Only thing I'm missing is facebook syncing with my contacts. Will that be fixed in 3.1?

also another minor thing, not everything is translated to dutch, so when I put my language on dutch some things will still be in english. That probably is because 2.1 is still a leak right? I'll just put it on English until the complete dutch translation releases :).

cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vvaleta28:
That big you are, I admire your dedication, hope that you continue improving her and that you donate many mas

You could put the bar down like villain4 beta? much better
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kassemalaa:
3d gallery

about the 3d gallery, is it a possibility that we will have a fix for landscape mode anytime soon? then again, i can live with it, great rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulrgod:
Awesome ROM - Thanks.

I've encountered a few bugs :-

Gallery - corrupt image when viewed in Landscape mode

Gallery - Overlapping icons

Application list - after changing to list view it reverts to grid mode after a reboot

Facebook Contact pics in People - seem lower quality than normal?

Java app - force closes

Navigator - Nothing works (Nav Launcher seems fine though)

General - Seems a little slugish occasionally?

General - Battery seems to have gone down quicker than normal?

It seems some people havn't got Facebook sync to work - you need to go into Settings >> Accounts & Sync >> Facebook and then tick 'Sync Contacts'.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shark0807:
After taking a break from trying 2.1 ROMs (waiting for the Microsoft Exchange sync fix), I had forgotten just how stable your builds are nprussell. I will be donating to you, I'm just having some issues getting the donation to you through paypal (I think some of my browser addons are interefering).

This build seems to be the most stable yet. I will give GPS navigation a test drive tomorrow, but it was able to turn on without immediately closing, and it seemed to be able to function correctly so far.

AS previously mentioned, Facebook sync is not working. I do not mind this at all, and would actually prefer it not to work instead of doubling up contacts as it used to do.

Thank you again nprussell! And keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notoriousdns:
Does facebook sync with People work at your phone at all? Because I can't sync my people with my contacts..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] malachaskos:
is for new radio?:confused::confused::confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nysos:
I don't think so. It says that it synced successfully with Facebook but the links between my contacts and their facebook profiles are gone and when I try to force the link manually it doesn't show anyone in the facebook contacts list.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EbiEre:
Will the Widget Problem be fixed in 3.1, too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Puky70:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulrgod:
Yes it seems to be working for me - peoples profile pics are showing and the odd status update. But as i mentioned their images seem grainy compared to how they used to be..

It didn't work straight away - i had to go into Settings >> Accounts & Sync >> Facebook and then tick 'Sync Contacts'.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
same here. Manually sync, reboot and it works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] craig0r:
Anyone know if bluetooth audio is working properly now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notoriousdns:
Aahh I see 'em now!

First my contacts couldn't even be synced, god knows why.. It wasn't there at all. Tried to remove my account and logged in again, then it was, a bit strange. But you're right, the pictures are indeed a bit grainy or something..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kerzo:
I have set mine up to sync but the problem is that when I try to link a contact to a Facebook contact the list is actually empty!

Anyone else notice a FC when performing a search on Google Nav? Also, is it normal that if I am in the settings for example then press the home key, it comes up with a black screen with HTC on it then a loading logo, almost like it is reloading Sense UI each time I leave the home screens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] henky92:
nathan..

YOU ARE F*CKING AMAZING!

Damn man, what an improvement, never in my life have I switched from an 1.5, after 5 minutes of this, i've seen the light

Hi Nathan, thanks again for your hard work.

I have problem with dowloading MMS.

There is no posible to setup connection settings (Messages->Setting->Connection settings) for MMS, so downloading of MMS is not possible.

Do you knou how to fix it?

Try configuring in

I was just about to say the same thing, someone has sent me an mms and I can't receive it, just tried to send one too and that doesn't seem to work. I know there was a problem with a lot of previous 2.1 roms in regards to this. I've checked the APN, I'm on Orange and it all looks good.

Florida.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wolverine_2k:
Yeah I've got the MMS problem too... just refusing to download MMS.

T-Mobile UK.

Keeps saying "Message not downloaded" followed by "Generic network failure"... :(

Annoying as someone just sent me an important pic! lol. I've checked the settings and they're all there and correct!!

My HTC widgets weren't there when I first booted. After restart I had lost half of them, rebooted again and now I have all the HTC widgets!!

lol,

I just added my people to one of my desktops and while I checked the quality of one of the pictures it just solved itself. High quality pictures again.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulrgod:
Hmmm - ive just had something weird happen.

I havn't touched the phone for around 15-20 minutes but the phone has just restarted on its own.. Heard the vibration and then looked it was on the black 'Hero' screen. It's booted back up ok but this may have to be looked at - i've never had a rom do that before...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wolverine_2k:
Just installed 3.1 now...

1) Root access comes up with "SU Request" but I just have a blank screen??? No button to Allow, Always allow etc...

2) HTC Widgets still disappearing - having to restart to bring them back... but every restart gives me a different selection of widgets!! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Same happened to me, until i reflashed 3.1, over my already installed 3.1

no problems now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberon:
This is a htc, not a nexus1, please put the htc desire boot! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Yeah, what's up with the (sometimes) missing HTC widgets? Great work though!

Also would prefer a HTC bootscreen, but that's a very minor issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberon:
Small bugs found when using Portuguese language;

-the clock shows "13h30" instead of "13:30";

-when receiving a call "Answer" "Decline" is not translated;

-lots of menu stuff not being translated.

Great Rom, keep the good work!

Would it be possible to get option to tether when plugin in the usb back?

Edit: Also noticed that MarketEnabled is not installed.

anyone having issues with the market taking FOREVER to load over wifi?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kookix:
Did a full wipe and flashed 3.1.

Got FC when click on the Voice Search button

No setting widget, Wifi, bluetooth, etc... only shortcut to the menu

Could someone post the right apk/odex files ?

edit: Fix Voice Search: uninstall and install it again, apk from a working rom.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] projohn:
The whole hero 2.1 community settles down!! Awesome bro!

VillainRom 3.1 seems stable and all features work after all. Market working, all alignment problem resolved, WIFI + 3G working just fine, browser surfing smooth, except the minor problem with Gallery 3D rotation (which is a mystery puzzle for all rom cooks). Thanks again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] projohn:
One more note, youtube working pretty fast. Benchmark should be good with this rom! But I didn't get the point of keeping apndroid while HTC's own switch is doing a better job on disabling the 3G connection completely rather than modifying apn settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kassemalaa:
list view

i noticed that when you restart the phone, if you previously selected list view in the app launcher, it will restart in grid view... is there anything we can do about this?

oh right, what is that htc checkin service always running in backgorund? is it a resource hog? if yes, how can we remove it, thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JFenlon:
Any mirrors?

I've downloaded 3 times and I keep getting the following error message in WinRAR:

"Unexpected end of archive".

I don't usually have a problem with MediaFire links. Obviously I've no need to open/extract the file, but it seems corrupt to me so I don't want to try and flash my phone with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andycheng:
me too, i can't open market over 3G.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] muchbt:
is there anyone can use apps like quickboot?

on my phone nothing happened.

But Chinese Input Method is missing. Even after I flash the htc-cime zip.

Woke up before the alarm to day, got up, downloaded 3.1 start flashing. Did my things before going to work. When I realised that the alarm didn't go off. Looked at the kitchen clock 4AM :o 2 hours before normal wake up time :p

Well I guess I was so eager to flash 3.1 over 3.0 to get root working...

This ROM feels really smooth an quick. So far everything I've tested seems to work. Will be testing as much as i have time for to day. Will try to report back.

Thanks again Nathan, fabulous work!!! Feels close to a second donation.

Edit* Is it me or is Market Enabler missing!!??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] georgeskydiver:
NEW 3.1 ROM feels really smooth an quick. So far everything I've tested seems to work.

Thanks Nathen
