Hey Darchstar,

Do you have an internal build env or do you checkin changes to an external place? It would be great if there was a repository I could check out your code/changes. I would like to take your environment and begin helping out in the community, providing enhancements. I have alot of background in linux, and hope to be able to provide something useful. I also have 2 heros, one as an everyday phone, and one ready to be a dev, so I can develop on it without the chance of messing up something critical.

Thanks!

davlik JIT

I would like suggest including the davlik JIT module. Here are screenshots of the difference in speed using caffeinemark:

Before and after. The after is the one with the higher score.

Overall before was 519, Overall after was 1318.

Using LinPack:

Before: 2.338 Mflops/s

After: 3.394 Mflops/s

Anyone else noticing problems with antialiasing? The text on my launcher screen is very jagged, as is the text in the app grid. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using the latest kernel (with OpenGL).

if i push the build.prop text via freshs pre kitchen, do i need to rename build.prop? and to what? thanks!

Anyone. Elses keyboard has musing spots in them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
Tried again,here is what the output of boot is when trying to boot with the latest kernel posted:

I hope this may help to solve the issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] athlet1c:
SIGH THE Good Ole Days
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
idk anything about a fresh kitchen...just push via adb and yes make sure its named "build.prop"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
so say I wanted to add the JIT Module myself, if I didn't want to wait for dach to do it, how might I go about that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
looks like I found the answer?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Am I reading this wrong? Don't we need to rename push build.prop.txt to push build.prop?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
Much like any *nix (or DOS I guess) command, you specify a source file, and the destination for that file. So as long as argument #1 points to a valid file on *your* computer's hard drive, the 'push' command will copy it to whatever you input as the destination. You're effectively telling 'push' to "take the file named build.prop.txt on my hard drive, and stick it into a file called build.prop on my Android device."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
I believe android will have done more for learning linux than anything else since linux's inception
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
I get that, I have pushed files to the phone before. My question still remains, do I need to rename the file to "...." without the .txt extension?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=637419

Try this thread. After a bit of tweaking, I got it running no prob. One thread tells you to copy 2 .so and an executable, change permission, add something to your build.prop, reboot and you are good. I don't have the direct link with me, my apologies. Good luck, let me know if you need aid.

Oh, install the two programs (LinPack and CaffeineMark) and benchmark before, then do the module install, and benchmark again so you can see your difference.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
The file should be named build.prop , no .txt.

"adb push build.prop.txt /system/build.prop" I believe should be the command.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
I don't think do get that, because what he just said was that no, you do not have to rename it when issuing the command in the manner described by dach.

Thank you kindly. Mmmm benchmarking. You're getting your xtremesystems.org on my xda-developers.com
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
yw. It's always good to have numbers. The warm and fuzzy of saying "WOW! That number got better!", there is not a thing in the world better. :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Push it EXACTLY as it's outlined in the instructions ".txt" and all.

He even says "EDIT: heres how you push it without needing to rename it"

I tried to rename it too and then decided I wanted to follow directions and ensure I could validate the process. It works flawlessly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
here's the thread you were describing but didn't have the link to: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5703076&postcount=193

followed the instruction and saw a good boost in the benchmark scores.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
what is this effecting on the rom jus smoother transitions and what not?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
I enabled JIT and went from 2.262 Mflops/s to 3.636 Mflops/s. The instructions weren't quite accurate (since it was for a G1), but I eventually figured it out. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
There is one single post in that thread that outlines exactly the method to use, that work for this rom, I just don't have the post deep link :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tikerz:
No, because the command in itself is pushing the file build.prop.txt and renaming it build.prop once it gets there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
This is what I did:

1. Copied dusted-donuts to my sdcard.

2. Backed up /system/lib/libdvm.so

3. Copied the new libdvm.so.

4. chmod 644 /system/lib/libdvm.so

5. Added dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit to my /system/build.prop

6. Rebooted and it appears to have worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zaquaz:
I think your way worked, too. I did it your way first. Then nandroid restored because I didn't benchmark first, and redid it that way. I'm not sure what the other two files do, but I figured they may be needed for something.

What I am now trying to figure out is how to push /init.rc , or if you can't without using a .zip flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Linux noob here but I think they're saying that

" adb push filename.prop.txt /folder/filename.prop "

pushes the file AND renames it in one command
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Thanks, :)

I am just trying to avoid pushing unnecessary files to my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
Well ever since I enabled the Dalvik JIT, I have been having problems with Google Navigation again. It loses the GPS and then locks up the phone and I have to pull the battery.

All I did was add the line to the build.prop that dach provided last night, so I don't think any GPS settings changed.

Maybe its an incompatibility between google navigation and the JIT compiler? I will undo the JIT compiler and recheck to make sure this issue didn't exist prior to using it.

oof

let me add, if you followed the directions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5703076&postcount=193

My phone did not like the undo settings. After completing them I rebooted and was getting all kinds of whacked out force closes...

good think I backed up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] giovannizero:
I assume you meant that you added that to /system/build.prop ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
You are correct! I'll go edit my post. Careless error on my part while typing that post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] giovannizero:
Thanks for the instructions though, I followed yours and also scored over 1400 on the caffeine benchmark. Very nice! Thanks!

Running cyanogenmod-darch, AOSP21_kernel-signed.zip, Gallery3D.apk, build.prop.txt (renamed), and JIT.

So far no new issues except gallery did go tango uniform and I had to pull the battery. Rebooted several times, but not really seeing a speed increase. GPS working as well as before the new build.prop.txt update. For reference, @ raimprediction.net, select the Terminal, Without-baro aiding picture to see where receiving a GPS signal may be diffcult - even if you're not flying.

Still having trouble with other videos though.

I notice standard quality still doesn't work (hangs on the first frame) but when I switch it to high quality (Menu -> More -> High Quality) playback appears to work fine. Hmm.

Is this a problem? I get the message when I start Titanium but it still seems to restore apps just fine?

Ah.. ok there's no market or app data being restored. I guess it does matter. :)

Is there a quick & dirty workaround to create a UID of 0 so Superuser Permissions work? I live and die by Titanium being able to put my apps back the way they were.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
yea this is really gonna be something when its all polished up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
I do... I figured it was the SetCPU running at a lower mhz...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Thanks zaquaz for telling me of the JIT module. I'll incorporate it into my next rom. As for the source of my aosp rom, i'll release it, though you wont see much difference in it between the gsm aosp code and mine
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
weird my set cpu says im not rooted...we havent been gettin along ever since i flashed 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
read first post and you'll understand why this is so ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
caught me sleepin...I apreesh :D so basically jus go and root it like it was the stock rom (minus flashing the recovery image im assuming)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I noticed this too. Sometimes the screen is frozen for about 10 seconds. I figured it was ramping up from 245 but that sure seems like a long time.

@darchstar, have you posted an updated ROM since you put out the new kernel? It's been a hellacious day and I've had a tough time keeping up w/this thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Hey Darchstar,

Great work with this ROM, a lot of progress thanks to you :)

This has been greater than developing LT for Xbox360 :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kmartburrito:
For those having problems with tethering using MNS, this post helped me a lot:

http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/30081-help-having-problems-windows-7-a.html

Basically, my problem was that when MNS started, it tries to find the NDIS driver for the Android device, but this only happens when MNS is trying to run. So, just go to your device manager, find the Android Device that will have an Exclamation mark on it, and then point it to your Program Files/HTC/HTC Driver/Vista_x86 folder, and you should be good to go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Yes, I have the phone randomly get hung up for several seconds fairly often. I have experienced this on every version of this ROM. I know darchstar said it might be caused by the CPU spiking and going to 100% usage randomly. He thought he had it fixed, but I think I'm still seeing the same or a similar issue.

Mostly while swiping through screens, entering, and exiting the launcher the phone will freeze up for 5-10 seconds and then be just fine. Also, I am seeing issues where you unlock the phone and the home screens are blank for about 5 seconds while it repopulates the icons and widgets. This same thing happens randomly while exiting the launcher.

Anyway, those are some of the quirks I've noticed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sph33r:
I'm noticing the same type of things.

I'm not quite clear on what gumbo.sh is doing. Is the CPU governor that it sets doing the work of SetCPU or do we still need SetCPU?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
I'm having permanent lockups, though I'm thinking it might be related to the HTC_IME I installed, because I experienced it a few times today all while using the keyboard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
I would also like clarification on this as well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Noirad:
Hi Sorry Im kinda new to xda, and rom hacking. but last night I successfully rooted and installed the 2.1 cynogen on my phone, I was just wondering if I didn't like it or wanted my camera functionality back am I able to unroot and update back to the sprint 1.5 firmware?

thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
The gumbo.sh is doing two things. With the default settings, it is setting the CPU to use the "ondemand" settings, but it is not changing the CPU speeds like you can with SetCPU. I believe SetCPU would override the "ondemand" setting if you changed it to another setting, but I'm not totally sure as I always leave it on "ondemand."

Second, it is changing the lowmemorykiller settings to the most aggressive of the possible settings in the gumbo.sh file. Basically, it will just proactively kill programs that are still loaded in memory that you aren't using anymore, and free up some more RAM.

I want to clarify that I don't believe the random freezes and crashes are related to the gumbo.sh or SetCPU settings as I have experienced them without either of those things set.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sph33r:
Yes very easily. There's a RUU available to put you back to the "stock" Sprint version.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=608434
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sph33r:
Just for reference, I flashed the latest kernel from Darchstar and while it does have those lowmemorykiller settings in there, they're all commented out. You will most likely need to pull it, uncomment the one you want, and push it back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] giovannizero:
Sure, hold down the power button on startup and do a factory restore.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
yeh..you COULD unroot n go back to stock, but you can also get camera functionality PLUS the speed that comes w/ rooting by flashing one of the ROMs here..

anything not a developer ROM should have full functionality PLUS optimizations and themes..i wouldn't suggest going back stock from sprint..you loose so much potential.

Oh, n welcome to the cause, BTW!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david7586:
hey darch,

thank you for your rom. when you do release a new version, would it be possible for you to release 2 versions of the rom? i noticed (note not tested) that i had lockups when using the open GL kernel. I am also one of those users that has their hero lockup at the android boot logo when flashing the new kernel.

Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I was wondering about that. When "un-commenting", do we just remove the first # or is there one at each end that need to be deleted?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
Yeah, I've had the same problem. Happened in Handcent so i went back to stock messaging and same result. Gonna look into it this weekend. Stupid work.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ffolkes:
I used to encounter odd freezing when using the launcher, but after I went back to Home++, everything has been smooth. I'm guessing something in the launcher is causing the occasional freeze/spike?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
You just remove the # in front of whatever lines you want to use, and put a # in front of whatever lines you don't.

The # basically tells the computer to ignore everything on that line.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
2 things.

where is darchstar's latest kernel update? substrate isnt loading on boot after rooting the rom. any ideas?

oh yeah 2.1:cool:

haha lied, how the heck do you install JIT:eek:. i tryed like 5 times and it wont let me cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/dalbk/. tells me its a dir. the directions in the thread are screwing with me:mad:. so if anyone could help out with the propper commands? ty again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
I had to do it ONE LINE at a time... DO NOT CUT AND PASTE MULTIPLE LINES..

then it worked fine... OH and dont forget to do a "adb remount" before starting and the "mount /system/" didnt work for me.. so ignore the error..

Hello everyone! I have been using the 2.1 for a bit now and am really impressed by the overall involvement in this thread.

I've been following along with the 1000+ posts and am doing my best to stick with the development. I wanted to say thanks for all the input from everyone. It's a great ROM for the HERO and it's working out really well so far. There have been a couple ups and downs along the way, I just hope the whole package from darth gets into a full package on the front page and we can get it all going without the hacking.

That said, thanks again so much everyone. This is a totally usable ROM, the best I've used so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Noirad:
voicemail

couldn't find out if this was answered or not, but is their any way to remove the voicemail notification? I went threw and changed the settings in the voice mail settings from my carrier to google voice but it says "loading settings" and wont get past it until i exit it and go back, but my main problem is I still have the "new voice mail notification" and it makes me call my sprint voice mail (changed the default number to my # in the mycarrier settings earlier) should I just do a factory reset under options and change it to google voice and hope that works?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Implicit989:
I just installed your new rom and I no longer have any backlights to my buttons/trackball. I had used your last release and I could have swore it was working on that one. If you know how to fix it, cool... if not.. ill just reload the old one idc. Great work... Ive had a lot of fun showing your rom to the people at my work and making them jealous of all the cool design and graphics. so THANKS!

I also wanted to know if adding the camera feature is something out of the question? or are you and others attempting to get that working?

MMS... I can live without.

I also cant get it to pair to my stereo bluetooth either, but that may be for a whole different reason.

This rom is Amazing

I just wanted to report that i have been using this rom since its latest update and have not crashed once. I am using the gumbo kernal, and most of the live wallpapers work including the nexus one ones (to an extent).

The one question i have is it seems that my rom is not using the same "theme" as your screenshots, the one with the 9 dots on the bottom. My download is vanilla. is there any way to change it? did i do something wrong?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
yea either home switcher or when you first boot up it asks you what program you want to execute with and click "launcher" for n1 style
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
I'm in the same boat as you haha. Guess we will just have to wait until darch releases an updated rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Same thing happened to me. I flashed the kernel last night and all was good. Today I thought maybe the ROM had been updated so I downloaded, wiped and flashed it

So far, so good. When I flashed the kernel... boot loop!

Luckily I had a nandroid of cyanomod-darchROM from a couple of days ago and was able to restore it. Of course, I couldn't leave it alone so I flashed the kernel again

This time it booted fine and I have apps2sd working as well. I even did the JIT thing

So, I would like to +1 the request to have version numbers. I'm not really sure which update of this ROM I'm running right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] erytery:
THANKS!

Oh, and for some reason it doesnt sync with facebook. for contact information.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gernade23:
Sorry if this is a bit off topic but have people been seeing a noticeable speed increase with the dalvik JIT on this rom or is it more of a placebo effect?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
i honestly think minus the minor hiccups with the touch screen and transitions..this rom runs just as/or smoother than fresh1.1 with the ol gumbo i was actually pretty impressed....just now for the update i cant imgaine how much smoother it will get overall
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I'm not 100% sure. I should have benchmarked.

It does seem to be better after rebooting a few times.
