3D Gallery

Hi

Tomorrow Motorola Droid is getting its 2.1 update, in the mentioned features it says it will have the nexus 3D gallery (which I like a lot), so I asume it will be optimized for lower mhz (Droid 550 instead of Nexus 1 1ghz)

Does anybody knows if the Hero will get this in the 2.1 update? Will it be possible to port some Droid apps to our Hero in spite different screen resolutions to have fast and full oprative 3D gallery?

Thx

i want a villain rom kitchen because i want to get rid of something like the trackball led it annoys the living sh*t out of me.

for the rest best rom ever

@noiz13

"i want a villain rom kitchen because i want to get rid of something like the trackball led it annoys the living sh*t out of me."

I rather not write down what I want ... the trackball led is not a "kitchen-solve" thing. Trackball issue should be gone with Legend release.

Great ROM, QUESTION

First of all, Incredible ROM,

You're the best Nathan!

I have a question though,

"Gallery 3D, is loading the images very very very slow,

I don't know if there's a solution for that........."

please can someone provide me the answer.

For the rest this Rom is perfect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
TBH, everyone would be better not using gallery at the moment. The Droid is getting 2.1 tomorrow apparently, so maybe there will be some useful stuff in that ROM, but maybe not... I don't know if gallery would get ported to droid, but the droid's processor is in the same league as hero (ie. not snapdragon).

So, maybe we'll be looking at mixing parts of a Droid ROM with a legend one???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
@ ALL:

I'm here. I'm still alive and working on the rom.

I only got back from a business trip to London about 2 hours ago :(

So,... sleep is in order, then yet more work, then I'll come home and work again :)

I'm SO ready for my weekend away.

Next week I have a serious amount of free time for development - woop! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Good to hear, mate.

Thread currently 2 down from this may be of interest (I'm sure you'll have seen it). I was getting stuck enabling jit, and got a reply from one of the 'knowledgeable folks' with some suggestions. I know it's worked on cdma hero, so it must be possible.

I would certainly say its worth a look for your vanilla ROM, since I found setup wizard to be real fast on my build. Then sense crashed :( but I will look at the suggestions on that thread, since they tie in with what I saw in logcat. I might try & look at this on Friday and see...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] D3_:
Rooted my phone today and just installed this rom, I love it already! Keep up the good work! :D

Like the other guýs said: Keep going with this great work!!

and a question to all:

does andyone have a fix for the app-internal browser issue (for example wapedia can't open a page)?

greetings!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinlow:
me too having this issue..but i guess it s been mentioned a few times..

i have issue on fotmob..but i can manage to get it work on newsrob but it wont display the image in it..

waiting for solution as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This is solved in legend roms, of which villain should be next release. I've got it fine on my current personal build (from legendary 1.2 alpha)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kerzo:
Apologies if it has already been covered but is there a way to localise the News and Weather widget for the UK? At the moment the weather aspect is perfect however all of the news is very much US centric. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
That is not so easy to solve. It means that you probably ran out of memory - i.e. some program was leaking memory (and killing programs doesn't get it back) because the Android system doesn't know it is free. The task killers sometimes exacerbate the problem because it kills the leaky program - which at some point restarts and leaks some more, repeating until you run out of memory. Again, limit your task killer if you have it running - and see if you can find the leaky program.

Thought i'd post some benchmark results using Villain 3.4 on my HTC Hero.

If anyone else wants to join in, go for it! :)

Neocore:- 25.2 FPS

Benchmark - Graphic:- 122.9

Benchmark - CPU Total:- 156.6

Benchmark - Memory:- 137.0

Benchmark - File System:- 32.3
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orgasmatrond:
Does the update.zip with the theme you made support 3.4, or is it only for 3.3? Basically for the lock screen, as it looked way better than the arch!

And also, is there a way to set the news and weather widget to feed Norwegian news even though the phone language is set to English? I know it supports Norwegian news, cause I got that when I tested with Norwegian phone language, but I don't like the machine translated language HTC calls Norwegian... :P

Anyways, thanks for a great ROM! Looking forward to seeing what you can do with the Legend leak! :D

I have been using this ROM for a few days, and found the battery issue exists if I install and run Autokiller. It consumes power very quickly (>10% in 15mins). I uninstalled this app and replace with Auto Mem Manager. I tested with my Meridian player on for ~10mins, battery drop only 4%.

Hope this help those who have battery drain issue. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 19Tch91:
What the..

Ive just flashed my ROM for the very first time, and once the boot had taken its little 7 mins to do it all loaded up and then... The application htc sense process com.htc.launcher appeared.

And then The process android.process.media has stopped.

And then finally The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly came up, and i cant do anything with my phone.

Bit of a noob with all of this flashing milarky but any help would be greatly appreciated

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] janvandusschoten:
Had the same thing here in Holland :) Removed the widget and replaced it again and I had the Dutch news&weather. I hope this will work for you too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I believe the solution is to switch on GPS and reboot. then the GPS is active but will drain your battery. If you then switch GPS off and reboot it will not work anymore and save your battery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gman.php:
Yeah, that nice to hear :) Thank you guys!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] afe83:
Hello

Great Job!

I'm testing this rom, i have discovered some problem with locale.

It seems that it can't be able to change correctly the status, the wi-fi module starts unexpectedly without any rules setting.

The Locale is an old version, 1.0.7, i think that's the problem!

I will try the new version!

In this rom is missing only a working bluetooth file transfert, otherwise it is a perfect rom!

Thank for my english, is not too good!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
well i tried the legend alapha 1.2 yesterday and the battery got murdered, still laggy. so nathan if your can improve this, please take your time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booster55:
Anybody else got issues with the auto-rotate function? For me, sometimes it works (and when it works it's blazing fast in comparison to 1.5) but sometimes I can turn and tilt the phone as I want and nothing happens.

(Tried to calibrate the sensor already. Changed nothing.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
Thanks for the tip. I'm now using the phone without WiFi and GPS and it has dropped to 70% now (2 hours, 30 minutes of music, 5 minutes of HSDPA internet). I'm now at work, recharging and uninstalled my task manager apps. See how that goes.

@BlueHawk thanks, didn't know about the memory staying reserved :) I'll see what I can get, but the reboot seems to be very rare. Experienced it 2 times now, one with the original HTC ROM, once with Villain 3.4.

@booster55: It is known that the landscape mode works in fewer apps using VillainROM.. Or are you on about the same app? For example the Messages app sometimes does flip, and sometimes it doesn't?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
I really like the ROM,but the battery drainage is really bad.

To be honest i am thinking to switch back to another Rom,cause my battery is draining really fast.

With the original dutch 1.6 HTC rom I had never any problems,but now it is draining so fast.

Is there a possibility to flash back to the original dutch 1.6 HTC ROM?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booster55:
@MartijnGP: The weird thing is: It's in the same apps. Examples in which I've encountered both kinds of behaviour are the market, google mail or daily strip (a comic reader).

@rimoog: Try to do a reboot with your GPS off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
I already did so many things.

But i am also wondering if there is a possibility to switch back to the original ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Restore your nandroid backup and you should be good to go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
Uhm that's the point,i did not make a nandroid backup :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Ouch.

There is a list of available roms in the Hero wiki, I would advise you install the modaco one, its the one I've found most stable and with decent battery life.

And if you havent already installed a recovery rom like Amon Ra, I would do that first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kokiri081187:
No need to worry if it stays on 3G. Actually even with the official HTC Rom, it doesn't really stays on H...needs a really good reception to do so. And the difference between 3G and H isn't that big.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
FYI - The 'H' symbol simply isn't in the rom, and isn't in ANY vanilla rom as standard. It was added by HTC as part of Sense.

I don't think it's important enough to be concerned with :)

- Tried google nav yesterday, gps is ok, he found the way on maps, but nav closed himself after a few seconds, staying in notification bar :confused:

I have to kill the process.

- A good point is the battery use, I don't turn off the phone at night and this morning I had more than 90% battery left, very good compare to some 2.1 roms I tested and had 40% battery left on morning.

- I experienced a few lags and FCs sometimes (in contacts, browser,...).

- Miss the navigator bookmarks widget.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Reflash again, make sure you have wiped all data, ext, and preferably fat partition (save your files first)on your sd card. (or use a seperate sd card and set up new fat and ext)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Menelaoxda:
Thanks, can you explain me how to make a ext partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
If you have installed a recovery rom such as Amon Ra, you will have the tools in the menu to partition your sdcard, make sure you do not use ext4 as I dont think this rom supports it.

You have installed a recovery rom??

Odd problem

Hi,

Whenever I exit an app on this version, SenseUI seems to have to reload.

I get the black screen with the HTC logo and then my home screen reappears with the "Loading" box superimposed.

It only takes a couple of seconds but is very annoying as it happens every time.

Is there any way to stop this? I've tried wiping and reflashing and it still happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@autopanda

Do you run any app killer, autokiller or spareparts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Sound. All the necessary options are in there.

Technically speaking you dont really need an ext partition unless you are going to use apps2sd.

Hello, Thanks a lot for this ROM. Really nice and everything is working fine.

Except the VPN for me. Even I installed the VPN support available on the Wiki, I still can not connect with my VPN.

And if I use a software like "openVPN Settings" It forced to close as soon as I want connect.

Did somebody has any idea about this issue ? (Quite important for me because I'm located in China)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Cool, cheers for the update. Sorry if it sounded like I was pushing for it, I was just curious. TBH no matter what I've tried I've been unable to generate any issue with 3.4, but maybe I'm just doing the wrong things to make them I removed the lock screen with root explorer and love the see through one I've now got.

One of my colleagues at work just bought themself an iPhone, a decision they regretted as soon as I showed them my Hero LOL, I had to sort the phone out for her and even now she's struggling with it. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@autopanda

Autokiller and the app killer inside of Spareparts don´t like each other, try to disable the kill settings of Spareparts. That should solve the ongoing reboot of HTC Sense.

Question: Is the weather widget or weather app still sluggish when you flick to another city in this newer version?

I´m a prior HTC HD (almost same processor and same mhz) owner and this did not happen, it was quite fluid, also in my girlfriend´s Diamond, so one may ask:

Why in the Hero this works so rough?

Is there any way to improve the transitions?

DL it from the market and install. After installing open app -> Transition animations -> Fast

4.0 will be released as a beta.

It will be a public beta, and the link will remain up for 3.4 for those that don't want to test it.

What I have found so far, is that Sense itself seems a little slower, but the apps load & respond more quickly.

This rom is probably the most complete & stable 2.X rom out there right now. It's from the same Legend WWE build as benham's alpha & Raider's Legendary, but the protected/paid apps & those requiring a camera all show. I've modified the boot.img based on some recommended tweaks along with a couple of my own.

If you're after an incredibly stable 2.1 Sense som which is 99.9% working (trackball still flashes itd nads off), then I'd recommend you test 4.0BETA when I upload it later/tomorrow. It's so stable, I'm going to stick with it as my daily.

If you're after a speedy, reliable and 85% working 2.1, stick with my 3.4 rom until I can level out the the speed of 4.0, to put it on par with 3.4.

I hope that answers a few questions :)

I was going to go down the donators only test route, but I don't want the hassle which comes as a result.

I didn't like the idea of people buying my roms. I'd rather people donated to show their gratitude, not their impatience ;)

has anyone else noticed this after using it in 3.4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
No works fine for me, what did you have it set to?

Overclock benefits people who spend most of the time with teh screen off, if your a user who has the screen on more than off then setting it too high will cause massive drain.

The main benefit of overclock to save power is to reduce CPU speed when the screen is off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:

Hey nprussell, I found this reply in another topic regarding the removal of the HTC lockscreen and replacing it with the default Android one.

I have removed the HtcLockScreen (adb shell rm system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk) but now I still get the transparant background. You said there it would be fixed in Vanillain, is there a possibility to solve this in VillainROM as well?

I prefer the default screen. With the HTC one, it's too likely to unlock in your pants so you actually need an unlock pattern. With the default ones, your slide needs to be way more precise so it won't unlock when it shouldn't. Now I need to find a way to disable the crap double-menu unlock..
