Great job. Definately feels faster than 3.2. Keep up the good work.

Oh I'm just curious, for the Maps icon, did Brut.all requested it to be like that? Having the [Brut] there at the maps is kinda..off.

Hi,

Just updated to 3.3 from 3.2 but it seems to be frozen on the green android robot screen. Its been over 15mins. Did a full wipe before i updated.

anyone else have this issue?

Cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prettyha8:
Hahahaha, the boot up animation was hilarious!

I can't stop laughing. But srsly, that fast Nexus logo startup, can that be made avail. via an update.zip. And CAN this bootup be made via update.zip if ppl wish to revert back? (I'm still learning how to made a signed update file.)

Is it no wipe ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Installed the new rom last night at approx. 1AM

Battery was at 55%, when I woke up at 7 am battery was at 45% with everything off.

So battery life seems oke.

Besides off that i haven't done much testing. Will take it into the field today for more testing.

Love the Bios bootscreen but I liked The N1 bootscreen as well.

cheers,

72

And o yeah, performed wipe before installing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holyshit1:
Ok , I will wipe .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
reboot twice in 30 mins...

From 3.1, I did complete wipe and installed 3.3... Phone automatically rebooted twice... other than that everything looks fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] igniztion:
Did an update from 3.2 to 3.3 without wipe and encountered the issue with android.process.acore force closing all the time.

Here's the logcat if anyones interested in looking into the problem: hxxp://pastebin.com/gCNg6Hdt

I'll do a wipe and see if that helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
What is your current ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hrishi11:
its cupkake 1.5

version 2.75.405.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Hmmm...did a 3.3 ( from 3.2 ) no wipe install and seem stuck on the Android screen.

Do you have to wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
Ok!

1. If you have already rooted your phone then you can flash update.zip from the recovery after performing COMPLETE WIPE.

Else

2. instant root your phone using flashrec or something (get help from unlockr website) and install any custom recovery image (I prefer Amon_RA); then follow the first step.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Has the APN list been modified in any way? Wiped then flashed 3.3, and for some reason my APNs have not appeared (they were there in 3.1 and 3.2).

I flashed Cyanogen's APN list, and voila, they were back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
On 3.3 now, and I must say I have very few or maybe even null FC's.

Same goes for 3.2.

3.0 & 3.1 release was definitely more unstable for me.

Good work, Nathan with crew ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hrishi11:
thanks buddy

i just flashed the rom..

waiting for it to load now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piotrreq:
I've just did update from 3.2 to 3.3 without a wipe and it works fine (for now ;D ). I had all patches except for the vpn, maybe that's why it's working.

The only strange thing is that I have two maps app icons, one regular and the other brute. The seam to have at least different cache because the regular icon opens my last route and the brute one is clean (it requests data connection to work). I thought it's because off the mapps patch (it moved Mapp.apk) but I can find only one map apk.

Edit

-----

I've found second app- so it's clear why I have two maps. With one I should keep?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
just finished installing 3.3 had 3.1 before love the new boot screen very cleaver

morelocal2 set to uk but it still shows usa news even tho in news settings it says uk (will check for list cache in min)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
flashed 3.3 without wipe from 3.1 no issues whatsoever. everything works beautiful so far. In recovery one choice is : fix filesystem in ext part. Feel maybe this helped me awoid issues? At least it helped when innstalling the new recovery so maybe other with different issues and app2sd should try this.

I`m a complete noob when it comes to understanding the complexity of android, so perhaps someone with better knowledge will tell me I`m an idiot if the above thought is complete rubbish...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Great and speedy ROM. Only problem I've encountered so far is when I tried to install an update for Better Terminal Pro and Nesoid. Got the message that the phone doesn't have enough free storage. Tried to flash the fix for this problem from the wiki (from 3.2). It was a no-go. Got:

E:can't chown/mod data/app (no such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 2: set_perm 1000 1000 0771 Data:app

Also tried from terminal:

chown system.system /data/app

chmod 0771 /data/app

Edit: And why do we get this error on only a few apps? I can install/update other apps

No luck. Still getting the error. Anyone got an solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leffep:
Not in my Hero :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
nprussel (or anyone that knows the answer), why was Navigation removed in 3.3? Was working fine (for me in South Africa anyway).

Please can we see MarketEnabler brought back for those of us unfortunate enough to live in the third world.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eeww:
look like the boot screen of 3.2 is better than 3.3!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Going back to the pictures in gmail issue, a few pages back it was mentioned that ahome doesn't have the issue. I'm not at my pc, but does anyone fancy comparing the apk files related to mail to see if checksums match? And if not, doing a backup and push of the ahome ones to see if that helps...

The md5 of the apks should highlight any differences too (unless Nathan has modified them in his optimisation, in which case a backup and flash will be needed.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Here you have the latest MarketEnabler. Just install it from a filebrowser like Astro.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dudeldei:
I second this! It's nice to have navigation. Or maybe offer it with an optional .zip?

Anyways! Thanks for a superb ROM! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

Would still be nice to see it come with the ROM, as has been the case with most cooked ROMs (including nprussel's).

Also, might be a good idea to remove "- Google NAVIGATION working worldwide - as standard. " as a feature now. :(

Edit: Nevermind. I think I am finally figuring out what the deal with BRUT MAPS is...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
I need MarketEnabler myself since I live in Norway, but I don't see any big problems that it's not included in the ROM. It's really easy to download the lastest version from http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/ at any time ;) I find that the app quite often comes in an older version in ROMs

Edit: I made a link to Marketenabler in the wiki for those who miss it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptm:
+1 on this - Any clues how to resolve?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
Update to 3.3

So I made a nandroid _and_ a bart backup before upgrading (just to make sure that I dont have only one backup which may be currupted) ...

...and then I started doing what was not recommended: I flashed the 3.3 update over my 3.2 rom (with a few of the patches, DMAgent, NavLauncher, a2sd/nandroid) ..

Everything works fine here, no fc's, no other problems with the rom itself, and no problemsc with previously installed apps (compared to 3.2 at least)

a few things to mention:

apps like astrid or xkcdviewer which make use of the systems browser fail to load any page since I moved to this rom (so from 3.1 and upwards)

also, I went into recovery and then played around with adb and removed all the roms software that I didnt need (Facebook, Twitter, ...)

about the system volume thingie: with the stock htc ROM I had a better music experience.. (it's probably the leak - dunno)

even though this update worked for me I would love if this rom could base the updates like updates so that a wipe is not needed - it's annoying to set everything up again after a wipe imho (yes there is backup software like TitaniumBackup and so on but sometimes it just breaks everything so a clean re-config is needed)

I hope this doesnt sound negative because actually I was saying that this ROM is great :) it's definitely the best 2.1 ROM I have seen and used so far :)

What was that pictures in gmail issue? I can't remember, and I haven't got the time to go back to look for it. This thread has grown so big now, so some feedback on my question would be great

Google Maps doesn't show my position and in google.de there's not my location shown...

little question: in the weather app i can't choose the option "current location" it's simply not there!:confused:

i flashed the update by renaming into update.zip! should i try to leave the name and choose "update any zip" ind the recovery menü?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] painreliever83:
should I flash 1.2 then immediately flash 1.2.1, or do 1.2, then boot, power off & then do 1.2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] painreliever83:
Just re-re-flashed, and still no difference, it still thinks I'm in Dublin.

I'll live with it for now, at least on the whole it's nice and stable. I do appreciate the work you've done, and as I can't revert to the stock ROM for some reason it's by far the best alternative, I just hope I can upgrade to HTC's official 2.1 ROM when (if) it's released...

EDIT: Google Maps WILL find me IF I'm connected to WiFi... no dice on the 3G. Weather just thinks I live in Dublin.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Same problems here, see no difference and noticed (from build 1.2) that there is a double clock/weather widget on homescreen.

Imo location thing isn't fixed yet but i could be wrong. (here it keeps thinking i'm in brussel which im not))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluetigger68:
Networklocation not working for me in Germany. Location shows LAC but CID is unknown.

Anybody noticed that tapping on the weather area in the clock widget does not open the weather app?

And after trying to find the networklocation.apk i can say that is not rooted! aNetShare and Es Filemanager both say that the phone is not rooted. Could anybody please confirm or tell me to reflash:-)

Edit: wiped and reflashed -> most def not rooted.

@nprussel: You did a magnificent job so far. Take your time and you'll fix the rest too.

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] touchtweak:
Cool, another update. Thanks for the work you've done to bring this to us. Outstanding.

The Contacts is frustrating. I really like the the eclair contacts but only users with exactly the same

Facebook name and Google contact name merge. In this case I get photos next to the contact. It seems that when you edit a contact and press menu you have the option of joining two contacts together; except when the Select Contact screen appears, there are no contacts listed.

Anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
Thanks nprussell i like the way your so consistant,

keep up the good work donations will be made!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] magokh:
network location now works for me...it automatically shows current location both in clock and weather widget...thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alim5375:
Thanks for making such a great 2.1 rom with Sense. I agree with others that you should keep it a simple and of course, make it Sense.

Here are some of the issues encountered:

1. Home weather location does not update automatically to the current city. Need to choose the specific city from the list.

2. Keyboard can be laggy when typing using browser.

3. Running youtube FC several applications such as clock, message, etc.

4. Exchange is working, but there is some alignment issue with a clear white line just below the "exchange activesync". Suggest to remove. Autosync doesn't seem to work. Can we set time interval between each autosync?

5. Only get "3G" signal instead of "H", what's wrong with this?

6. Web browser is good to use but somehow laggy, maybe is the keyboard issue?

7. Cosmetic and functional issue with music player. The "play", "forward", "backward" button doesn't have image. Music player also skips playing wma file and chinese song with chinese title.

That's all for the time-being. Will post again if I discover some more. Keep up with the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alim5375:
I got this error message.

<No SD card>

An error occurred while saving the system update to your SD card. The download process cannot be completed.

I guess there is some issues here with data backup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Migishu:
Issues I've encountered after a full day of use:

Mobile 3G toggle switch is able to turn the Mobile broadband and off, but when turning off, the toggle gets stuck in the ON position, making it so you can only turn it back on in the Settings menu (the button then works again if you wish to turn it off, but again, gets stuck in the ON position).

Browser FC issue seems to happen when you have more than 1 tab open and you hit Stop.

Loss of some sensativity on the edges of the screen (top, sides, and bottom). I used to be able to hit it right on the edge and still register, now I can't (this is very apparent when trying to use the keyboard letters A and L)

Opening "Ad-Free" tells me that I no longer have root access to replace the hosts file (which I hope I still have).

e: to add: this was all tested after installing v1.2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salahag:
Now with update 1.2.1 the weather and google maps get my location correctly, and also the Clock gets my correct CITY now.

thanks alot Nathan.

P.S. I agree with many here that your ROM should be purely SENSE. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salahag:
and on the root access note, I also noticed that Market Enabler gives my the famous error message "We got a problem Houston : (" this didn't appear before the 1.2.1 update, but was getting stuck when trying to get super user permissions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
I got the very same problem using the Lookout anti-virus app. Turning off backup solved the problem for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
I noticed occasionally, I get duplicated icons, e.g. double Contacts, double Phone, etc.

Any idea why ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluetigger68:
This is argued at least once in this thread. Please use search and read the thread.

One app is the HTC solution the other is the standard android solution. Phone and contacts seem to have two icons but those are different programms.

Greets
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
In my case, it's exact duplicate. After a reboot, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Every time I reboot my phone there seems to be a problem to determine correct time zone. Think I had same problem with 3.2.

Anyone else experiencing this?

HTC clock also showing "current location" instead of City name. Don't know if this is a known problem.

Didn't have this in 3.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] martey:
I am not sure how this happened, but I flashed this ROM and almost all of the data from my microSD card disappeared. :confused:

Remove then manually add clock. This is a HTC issue.

I couldn't boot also. But wiping everything - dalvik and ext-partition helped.

Hi there.

nprussel, I've removed the HTC Lockscreen. The default one is better.

Do you know how to configure a background image on it ?

By default it stays transparent ..... and we can't change it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Tried this, but not working.

Also noticed that google location was disabled, but this didn't help either.

Maybe I need a clean flash. Coming from 3.1 & 3.2 without a wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
boot is awesome!!!! however, it says villain 3.2 not 3.3 :P

Havent had no problems so far, I didnt bother with a wipe and it seems all good.

edit: but i havent had any of the older problems like missing widgets so maybe thats why i get away with it..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RushaPoiL:
but it says Villain 3.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
I guess it is impossible.

There is something wrong in the source code, nprussel promised to fix it. But not yet.
