Now I used the mediafire mirror to d/l the rom, I do have one I downloaded last week maybe I'll try that tomorrow....but I'm tethering so I dunno if the mediafire and 4shared link are the same version or not and don't wanna wait for another d/l

Edit: Looking in the files the kernal has a timestamp 2 hours before the rom files, but gumbo.sh is missing out of it, so I dunno

I have to say this build is faster and smoother than the default sense ui bloat. Excellent stuff!:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gthing:
Redownload the rom

make sure you have plenty of free space on your device and sd card

I was having similar problems trying to do stuff off my sd card and eventually had to reformat it. Working great now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ktynchy1:
Thanks i'm gonna try reflashing the rom, since i have a 4gb class6 card and its not even half full...lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
wow, quite a few of us got off topic.. and I think we drove away Darch... you all should be ashamed of yourselves for being so mean to him.. Lets get back on track and be grateful for all the work that all the DEVS have put into this... This Community is only possible because of the people that CONTRIBUTE their USEFUL time to the rest of us that cant do what they do..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Haha, wow, you guys seem to be spoiled by my seemingly daily updates. No i have NOT released an update since 2-21-10 as the thread title says. If i would have released an update the thread title would've changed and i would have posted "check first post :D ". Lol

They are the same versions

I know this is a stupid and noob question, but if I went to this rom would I be able to put wireless tether on the phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
you wouldn't need to, it's already included
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ImmortalLuD:
Works wonders on this ROM. Just make sure to ROOT the phone after you install the ROM. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] realmrealm:
Hey guys, awesome ROM. I'm running "Darch3" and it's great.

Couple things:

* Since that file that was posted "build.prop" (and I pushed it) the GPS has been working great for me. (up until then it had not in google nav and in sprint nav)

* I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not missing sense UI at all. just bt, but I know that will come soon enough.

* My battery life (I know others have asked) has been just a little less than what I was getting from fresh 1.1 with the Gumbo kernel, but not a huge difference.

I never thought I would sacrifice bt for a rom (i use over 6K min a month and bt is what makes it bearable), but for this rom I have been doing just that. It's that good.

Keep up the great work guys, I wish I knew more so I could contribute to the effort, although keeping up with this thread alone has been giving me immense education on the ways of the Android.

I benchmarked and the score was quite a bit higher after adding JIT but I'm not really noticing much a of a difference day to day.

I noticed that some video playback works now and scrolling in browser seems just a little faster.

VNC Applications

Has anyone else noticed that the VNC applications don't seem to be updating the screen anymore with this ROM? I used to be able to use RemoteRDP and Android-vnc (not sure whether it has ever worked on this ROM though).

Now, the applications connect, and the screen comes through, but whenever I click to close a window for instance, I have to close the connection and reconnect for me to 'see' that it changed. Could this have anything to do with the OpenGL ES Lite?

sprint gps

hey guys im still having troubles with the gps's loss of signal. even after reflashing the new rom with the ping set at 3 and then pushing the config file that sets it 1. I really just want to be able to use my gps like before i was wondering if it had to do with the google maps apps so i wanted to know if i used pre-kichen to push back sprint navigation would it even work or give better results?

thanks

topher
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
I use RemoteVNC Pro and haven't had any problems. Just verified, everything seems normal using it with this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sm_x:
anyword of when the new release is out, and what kind of improvments we should expect?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
Nothing as of yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] venumx:
i promise he'll tell you when it comes out, he wont keep it to himself :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
after a day of letting this rom set in with set cpu i have been gettin really good bat life..loving everyminute of it darchstar THANK YOU!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
What does set cpu matter if we can't overclock these things? Am I missing something?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Yes, you are missing that you can set the min clock with setCPU. Meaning you can tell it to clock down low when it is in standby, hence saving more battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
beat me to it and i like the fail proof profile settings as well...never can be too safe

Possible explanation for wakeup stutter?

I want to be forthright and admit that I am not familiar with Android as a programming language, nor with any flavor of Linux, so if none of this makes sense, please ignore (I'm a .net developer trying to familiarize myself with all this tech).

I've noticed that when running this ROM, there is a stutter when waking up, and sometimes randomly when using the system. I loaded up the Dalvik Debug Monitor and noticed that whenever I get this stutter, the following messages are displayed:

02-25 17:18:48.322: WARN/KeyCharacterMap(139): Can't open keycharmap file

02-25 17:18:48.322: WARN/KeyCharacterMap(139): Error loading keycharmap file '/system/usr/keychars/h2w_headset.kcm.bin'. hw.keyboards.0.devname='h2w headset'

02-25 17:18:48.322: WARN/KeyCharacterMap(139): Using default keymap: /system/usr/keychars/qwerty.kcm.bin

1.) Has anyone else noticed this stutter,

2.) The error seems to point to missing files, is this true for others as well?

3.) Is it safe for me to copy the default files to the location that the OS seems to be looking first, and possibly stopping the error / stutter from happening?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
With JIT my trapster app was wiggin out today, FC every 20 secs, in a loop tricky to get out. Have to time Home key just right then have to toggle gps off to get out. Then only then you find out it forgot your acct. Fun ;D

Without it so far seems to not freak out with it.

Still cant get NAV to work either way so no better off there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
JIT

ok so i got JIT installed, for w/e reason.

odd thing tho, when i "umount /system" it said failed:(:mad:.

did it still install?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] f00kie:
Should be fine - if thats the only error - just reboot and check out some benchmarks. Seems solid to me so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sefferdog:
Mine said the same thing, but after rebooting and running some benchmarks it was working fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
so i just tried installing MTG.apk and it wouldnt install. just said i fail, lol.

whats up with that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Alright, so I've been running this ROM for a while now, and have run the last couple of versions exclusively. One thing I have noticed since the beginning is that the ROM will randomly freeze up for a while, and be totally unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. I am not alone in this experience, because it has been mentioned throughout this thread. I know darchstar said something about a bug causing the cpu to spike to 100% causing the lock ups.

I have also noticed that randomly when exiting from the launcher and at other random times that all the icons and widgets would be gone. It would always take 10 seconds or so to "rebuild" the desktop before it would be back to normal. This would happen several times throughout the day.

Well, yesterday I noticed that erytery posted in post #1540 that he had never had a single crash, but that he was inadvertently running the standard android launcher instead of the Nexus 1 style launcher.

So, with that said, I started thinking that maybe the Launcher2.apk was maybe buggy in this ROM. While searching around, I found this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=631894

This is a 2.1 style launcher that has been developed for G1s running some newer hacked software very similar to what darchstar has done with this ROM. Well, I looked at the size of their Launcher2.apk and the size of the one included in this ROM. The one in this ROM is a whopping 5.71 mb, while the one from the thread is a measly 356 kb.

I didn't figure there was any possible way that it would work. I didn't think it could possibly have everything that we need to get the launcher to run, but I gave it a shot anyway. Well, it works for me, and it seems to be pretty much flawless. I loaded it up last night, and ran it all day long to test before posting anything. I did not have a single crash, not a single slowdown, not even a single hiccup all day. I'm not saying it will work for everyone (or even anyone else), but it has worked amazingly well for me. All of the slowdown and freezes are completely gone for me. I don't know how the file could possibly be this small unless all the core processes are already located elsewhere in the 2.1 OS, so the file doesn't need to be as big. That's just totally speculation, as I have no idea how the Android OS really works.

Anyway, if anyone wants to replace their Launcher2.apk with the one from the post, please enlighten us. I know my control group of one isn't exactly a very big experiment.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
Wow ziggy thanks for the heads up.

I will try it out and post back.

Install like any other apk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fireboy6275:
Yes thats what the forum says where the file is located.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Yeah, if you want just pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk and save to your computer, then push the new one to its place. That way you have a backup for if it doesn't work for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] knx2:
The launcher you suggested workwd better for me thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Let us know when WiFI gets updated on ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] samrozzi:
so what did you do exactly? I will reflash and try.

im gonna come from a clean wipe. flash 2.1 and then flash google stuff then reboot and bt should work like normal?

i keep getting errors when pairing

I have tried

Plantronics Voyager Pro

Plantronics Altel Lansing backbeat 903

Official sony bt headset

and a blueant q1

:/

[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
Hey, I know we all seem like blood-sucking vampires at the moment, but I can speak for all of us when I say thanks for your hard work, and enjoy your sleep!! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
maybe it depends on the brand of the device. were you able to pair using 2.01? i think some said they couldn't at all, while others could pair and use for music (not calls).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athlet1c:
Second that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
uhmmm yes i did clean wipe, the flashed the goog****. and first thing i did was try BT. i turned it on with the widget then went to settings/wireless/BLuetooth/scan.

EDIT__and it works with calls

worked perfectly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
ok, so in recovery I eliminated the /data/local part and got asroot2 to run, but the "final steps" of getting root aren't working for me. Can anyone else chime in on how they got past this part?

so after you get the "SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell." message you're supposed to remount the filesystem like you see below. I can't do step 7, as it's telling me "mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Invalid argument" and I also can't cd to /system/bin from the recovery adb console. Who else has gotten this to work that could share?

Any ideas?

Now for a few last commands.

7:

Code:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

8:

Code:

cd /system/bin

9:

Code:

cat sh > su

10:

Code:

chmod 4755 su

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
can you update the first post to show what does and doesn't work for sure? Bit of conflicting info on there (receiving calls doesn't work, but phone does work, etc.). I know it's mentioned in the thread that receiving calls works, but update the first post for accuracy when you get a chance, just to make the lives of those of us who came in late a little easier ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
that's assuming I have linux, right? I'm on windows fwiw.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
I'm pretty sure it says

which means that when you flash googlebits/stuff/****... it will work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
nvm, I got it...noobalicious :)

that totally worked, I am now rooted, it was busybox that was holding me back apparently.

David279, thanks a LOT for your help, much appreciated!!

This thing's rocking with the setCpu app. Liking the progress!

One question for the 2.1 pros, how do you do MNS on this? I can't seem to find it in the mobile settings.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:

You should PM darchstar, so he can get this included in his next ROM/update release. Good find.

Hmmm, it's very quiet on both 2.1 threads lately. Ever since toast posted his enigmatic smiley face post, I can't stop thinking that something big is around the corner.

In order to make this a non-useless post, I do have legit question: why isn't this thread in the ROM WIKI???:confused:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
didn't do it in recovery. simply did it using adb from within windows. put the Launcher2.apk file wherever your AndroidSDK/tools directory is, then push the file.

adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk

it's running great. night and day difference, though i did have to remove my widgets and add them back on before they'd work/refresh again.

great post!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ImmortalLuD:
I've tried this, rebooted, also tried installing it with Apps Installer, and not it's not working. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
maybe try fresh's kitchen? there's a tool in there to push or pull files to your phone. also, if you have droid explorer running, it automatically runs in the background and seems to sabotage the adb service. when using xp, i shut down the droid explorer service when trying to use the adb command via cmd prompt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
well... so much for that. the new launcher seems to be causing problems. the widgets on my main home screen don't load (retro date and news/weather). initially none would work, on any home screens. but then i removed them, added them back on, and they seemed to work fine. now, whenever i reboot, the other widgets load up, but the ones on the main home screen don't. anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roundaway:
I pushed the file using Fresh's pre-kitchen w/o a problem. Upon reboot the Widgets on the home screen(s) said something like they can't load. Drug them to the trash can and readded them. All seems to be working.

Its very frustrating. I know its just facebook pics but its the small things in life LOL. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Yeah I should have added that after replacing the Launcher2.apk you will have to remove and re-add all your widgets.

That is normal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
i was reading in the G1 post where this launcher apk came from...that it reportedely looks just like the 1.5 slide up menu is this true? i havent thrown it in because aside from a random (1 to 2 times in a 24 hour period) touch screen lag spike for 10 seconds or so my launcher is fast as hell and works great..any imput? aside that its working really good for everybody
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andyriot:
okay so after having the new Launcher2.apk since last night, ive had a couple of force closes on it. but it seemd to only happen when i was using pandora? ill see if i can replicate but everytime i would go into pandora and then try to go back to homescreen it would just sit at a black screen for a while then give me the force close option for Activity Launcher or something to that effect.

austin88: it does not slide up. its just like the real nexus launcher with the dots on the side and you press the square and the apps fly in.

Is there a link u could give me to follow that would explain this to a dumb guy like me. Thanks and thanks for the hours and hours you have put in to work we are all grateful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
what you do is flash the rom then follow the steps in the sticky on how to root follow all the steps up untill flash recovery img because you should have previously done that when you originally rooted. this specific rom is not rooted so thats why you have to redo the asroot2 file...its like 6 or 7 lines in the command promt not too bad...ohh yea the sticky is all guides and its by theres that guy and just go all the way untill you have to start flashing the recovery img

Installing Launcher2.apk

It took me a few minutes to get this figured out so for everyone else's benefit here's how to install the new Launcher2.apk.

Download this file: Launcher2.apk

If you're like me it saved as Launcher2.apk.zip

Rename it Launcher2.apk (DO NOT unzip it)

now do this

adb push (pathtoLauncher2)Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk

When done, unlock your phone and it will ask if you want to use Home or Launcher. Pick Launcher. Readd your widgets and you're done.

As an aside, you can also mount your sdcard, put the Launcher2.apk on there and then use Astro File Manager to install it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tango22203:
Can u tell me if your quick boot work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
Nope. Quick boot doesn't work for me either. Well...not just rebooting. Reboot recovery works.

i use quickboot all the time. on this rom only the reboot doesnt work.

i have noticed in the past sometimes quickboot will just reboot the phone lol.

just reinstall and it should work.
