No offense, but I think you might be one of the only people not having Navigation issues with this ROM. It has been very heavily repeated to be an issue on every version.

Like I said, GPS works great in other programs. It's the Google Navigation program that constantly loses the signal for a lot of us.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Condo20t:
Just went outside and I didn't get a signal. Waited for over a minute and nothing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daviss:
Grab GPS Status from the market and see if it gets any signal there..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daviss:
This has been a known issue with Google Navigation for months. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=746a8bfa1586b8fb&hl=en

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5595

I use Google Navigation every day and I do occasionally get a dropped signal if I switch to another app and then back. Hitting the back button and then Navigate again grabs the GPS again. It doesn't drop if I stay in Google Navigation though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gregalous:
As stated earlier by someone else, I also do not have 2.1 icons for all the apps. Some (SMS, Browser, YouTube) have the 2.1 icons but others don't.

Also there seems to be a problem with the Contacts app... Everything works fine except for the headers that categorize the contacts by letter. Instead of having the correct letter (example, an A for Al, Alex, Albert, Aaron) it's showing a B. And everyone, regardless of their name, is under that header until about halfway down when there is another header that has a lower-case "a", and the other half of the contacts are below this header.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Condo20t:
Signal is fine with GPS Status. 8 out of 9 satellites most of the time but goes as low as 4 sometimes.

No I was trying.g to open apps. I rebooted and its fine. Must have been a first launch bug

Not sure who I'm giving credit to but very nice job!! I have become an addict for messing with my hero now. Question, Is there a way to get my Yahoo account set up? It kept saying "user name or password invalid". Hotmail worked with no problem. Anyone know a way around that. And I wish I knew about Dev'ing so I could lend a hand. Having the camera would be nice. Thank you guy(s)!

So I've spent hours going through all the various methods of getting JIT on the previous darch rom and could never get it to work. I've followed instructions i found on these boards as well as trying instructions on some of the original JIT threads. I don't know where I'm going wrong.

So, I was pretty excited to hear this new release from darch would have it built in. But now i hear it's only JIT-ready and I still have to manually enable it?

I've been flashing ROMs like crazy but I guess I'm still a noob if I couldn't get JIT to work. So can someone give me some noob-safe instructions on how to "enable" JIT in this new release? Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
boot phone into recovery

download this: www.androidonroids.com/dusted-donuts

go into the lib folder and push libdvm.so to /system/lib

go into abd shell and cd /system/lib

chmod 644 libdvm.so

not sure who to say thanks to but thanks! look at the post below your about yahoo mail.

i still don't understand how these are not 2.1 icons. They were built directly from aosp source.

and the contaacts bug, i realize it, pretty nit picky of a fault don't you think. I'll fix it in the future. if it is that much of a disturbance, then just push the phone.apk and contacts.apk from my previous build.

no wallpapers choices showing

gallery works, wallpaper gallery works but the heading wallpapers shows only a black screen with the option to set wallpaper on the bottom.

tried all the other roms from you. this is the current one posted today.

the expectation was to see the choices of the wallpaper

menu, wallpaper, wallpaper the screen opened just blank

i wiped and loaded twice, once with the file name left as posted, the other changing it to "update" then flashing it, both with the same results.

all else so far seems to be working for me (sprint htc phone)

recovery v1.2.3

log file too big to send i could email it to you?

thanks for the work these roms are GREAT!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DarrenD2:
Is there a setting anywhere to change the animation speed of the launcher? I'd like to speed up the animation of when you open the launcher, and the icons come in from the edges of the screen. When you close the launcher, it seems to be faster.

Transition settings in Spare Parts does not seem to affect the launcher, only normal program transitions.

Thanks for any tips!

And great job Darch!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
This behavior has been like this since day 1 of the 1.6 - 2.1 builds that have been released..

Gallery Question

Can anyone test their Gallery app and once it loads, try hitting the back buttom. My phone screen goes completely blurry and it freezes the phone.

I have restarted the phone a few times and the problem still persists.

Any ideas Darchstar???:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
do you by chance at all when it is in gallery let the phone go into landscape mode? if so dont let the phone at all think its even gonna go into landscape every issue ive ever had with the gallery was because of that otherwise the gallery works great for me

Has anyone been able to install Better Terminal Emulator Pro? It is the ONLY app that is giving me an error in the Market. It is always the "insufficient storage space" notification when I have over 40MB free.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xtkxhom3r:
so did you guys ever get a2sd working? i found this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5712377&postcount=1406

did that get it to work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Ummm, What i did was go to the gallery, then go into a folder with pics, saw a few of them and back out. It didn't crash.

Seems to be working now. Weird. Could that be the trigger?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
yea i think so i believe its mentioned somewhere in this bahemouth thread not sure where but everytime ive gotten that problem it wasent even that i was trying to look at the gallery in landscape it was i was messing with the accelerometer and watching the pic bob side to side haha but jus tipped it alittle to much and then it burnt the file on my homescreen and locked it up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Could someone post a few things for me, I am unable to find them:

Badass wallpaper in the screenshot?

Nexus launcher, the normal one not included in this build?

How do I set up vcml, is it 1+my number? I also have the issue with the voicemail icon? Can google voice be configured in this build?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gabby538:
how fast is it compared to the one previous to this? i have been using his previous ASOP 2.1 rom and it is amazing, so any improvements?? and add ons?? thanks darch for adding JIT in this rom knew it would be a good idea in your future roms =]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
well..i THINK so..i re-pushed ex2fsck, chmodded it n all, added "su -C a2sd" to the end of gumbo.sh via SU File Manager, flashed the kernel and went to /data/app and typed pwd which came back w/ "/system/sd/app" AFTER i rebooted..

however, last time i had a2sd working it showed my partition info when i went to settings>'sd info' whereas its not showing that this time..i'll start installing a bunch of apps and see if it reflects on the phones internal storage..

Awesome ROM

Hey Darchstar, get yourself setup on Paypal, I'd love to buy you a beer or carbonated beverage of your choice :)

Been running the new build since release, battery life has been great and the ROM feels zippier in general (note, I do not use the NEXUS launcher, too laggy for my blood). The rooting out of the box seems to work fabulously, and other than than the known problems (mms, BT and the like), I've been having a great experience. Thanks for all the work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RamboDroid:
Wow way to go darchSUPERstar

U the man this thing is fast and i get now lag time between apps or windows. BRAVO darchSUPERstar!!

Hey anyone having problems Phone Fusion visual voice mail...It gets my messages and syncs with the right contact well and even recieveds and downloads faxes right but when i try to play the audio of a messeage all i get is static? Anyone else out there have this or know how to fix?

oh btw love the new boot animation for v5 you ought to have "DarchDroid" bust through the blue fire X thing..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
call me crazy but this build is MUUUCH faster..just to nit-pick on the last build i disliked the slight stutter when switching between home screens via swipe w/ the Nexus launcher, even w/ jit enabled (it was seamless if you pushed the little dots) NOW..no stutter or lag. This build is the official BIDness! ha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gabby538:
that is good to know, off to my next class will flash when i get home at 7! wowhO!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] corybucher:
Does anyone know where there are instructions on enabling jit using a mac or can anyone give me the correct command? Thank you in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
have to ask ( im sure its been asked before ) why can't we download MMS's ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
if you've rooted and can use adb; the commands, i believe, are the same
[Hero CDMA Android Development] corybucher:
Ok, thanks will give it a try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] clipcarl:
Confirmed. If I go into the gallery app, wait for the galleries to load and appear (takes several seconds) then immediately hit the back button the phone locks up hard. I am not switching orientation at all. I wonder if switching to the non-GL kernel would make a difference?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
i noticed when i had the kernal without open gl that i couldnt even get the gallery to open up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Is the wireless tether working for anyone in this rom? It keeps saying that I need root, but setcpu runs fine so I know I have root.

And I have the same issue with the galley app. If I try to close it I get my homescreen transposed over the galley zooming out with all the colors mixed up and a locked up phone.

Other wise this rom is great! I can't say how good the battery life is because I have been streaming music via last.fm all day.

Keep up the good work! Best rom out there! Now if only Home++ supported lwps :D

Gallery Crash Workaround

If you want to use gallery and not crash just long press "Home" and choose a different app to switch to before you go back home. That method should NEVER lock up
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Wifi Tether works fine for me. :) it did ask me to overwrite the settings cuz of the new superuser but after that it is working. It also prompted me whether to allow or not, you know the superuser thing. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
Agreed; sort of. Here is setup:

Which version of my rom are you using: current

Whats the Problem:

Gallery Loads, however images display for a short while, then fade away. If you click on an album (which you do by clicking an invisible area as they don't show up) you can then click a picture (which you have to do again by clicking on something you can't see) and then the picture displays.

What did you expect to happen: Not sure. Didn't expect albums/pictures to fade away.

What were the steps in which you encountered this problem: Described Above

Did You Wipe: Yes

What did your logcat say (make a logcat.txt by issuing this command "adb logcat -d > logcat.txt" and attach it to post): No logcat to attach as there wasn't a crash and nothing froze.

What version of recovery are you using: 1.5.2

As stated above, I too am using the Kernel w/ out OpenGL and when I go to the Gallery, you can sort of see the albums/pictures at first, but then they fade away and become invisible. Haven't tried reverting back to other Kernel yet.

Here is a link to a short video I took of it to try and explain it better. My apologies of the quality.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] DarrenD2:
Try the standard v4 with OpenGL. Gallery is working great for me with standard, with the exception that if you turn to landscape, the image is blurred.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
The gallery requires opengl to run. We had this problem with it before we had opengl. I highly doubt it will be able to run at all unless you use the opengl kernel

Hmm your right, I just assumed that it wasn't going to work after that first no root error. Thanks :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aauussttiinn88:
just to verify the "AOSP 2.1 signed" is the kernal with open gl
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asapelectric:
Thanks for the release. I know Im with this ROM for a while. My problem is the gallery going nuts when I try to back out of it. Requiring a soft reset. Thats the only app I just stay away from. And the camera. One time it took a minute or two for the screen to wake up, but Ive seen that before on other roms and OS's. Over all, it's worth it to me. Thanks Darchstar!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kkruse:
darch. do you have a repo of the cyanogen stuff you included ? If not ill try to dig up the offy cyanogens repo. I may try to pull it and rebuild 'VpnServices.apk' as I suspect this is where the vpn issue lies.

Hopefully when its done I will post the patched kernel and Apks. I cant be the only hero user tryin to vpn from my phone.

If anyone else is interested in helping, PM me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] catpunt:
great rom, love it! only problem i'm having is gallery3d -- once i run the app, it screws up the phone when i exit out and have to soft reset. additionally cell signal strength is not as good with this rom. however, everything is snappy quick and the other sw updates far outweigh the cons. thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
Went ahead and did a wipe and then re-flashed this ROM. Did nothing else, left the default kernel alone. Doing this, going into gallery and displaying pictures/albums works great. Just can't get out of gallery w/ out it freezing phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
Working great and looking great with Home++
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Not with LiveWallPapers though :p I can't get over how awesome live wallpapers are. Btw ones like the cube live wallpaper still run fine using the opengl kernel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
I like em too but i found myself looking at them far too much. dazing off into space.

What is that widget at the bottom of your screen called?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
Its called Home++. Its a different home launcher. Its in the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
First, yes I read the FAQ's before posting. There are several apps that aTD says have updates available, but the Market does not list the newer versions. I know the FAQ says to e-mail the developer, but I guess my question is why are updates available that are not published in the Market? It's not that the app is not in the Market at all...it's there and has had updates in the past. Only now apparently a new version is available that is not listed in the Market. I've e-mailed several app developers and will post here if I get an explanation.

Also, one of the apps aTD says needs to be updated is the Market itself. I have version 1.66, and it says 1.71 is the latest version. Can I download that from Google somehow, or is the Market version a built-in part of the ROM?
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
atrackdog relies on updates from phones with atrackdog installed. Say I'm developing a cool, new app. I release version 1.0 on the market for everyone to use. I'm testing version 1.1 on my phone and have given the apk file to a few friends to test for me as well before I release it to the market in general (I don't want a thousand e-mails from people saying my app is br0x0rz, so I have a small test group locally.) If one of my testers has atrackdog installed, it will faithfully upload the new version information to atrackdog's servers, telling all other atrackdog users that my app has an update available...whether it's in the market or not.
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
Thanks for the detailed explanation! Now why the aTrackDog website couldn't explain it that concisely, I don't know.

Does that same scenario also apply to the Market? It seems less likely to me that a Google app would be on tester's phones that also have aTD installed.
[G1 Apps and Games] Neejay:
Ah, ok. That makes perfect sense then. Thanks for the explanation.
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
About the market itself, I'm going to guess that different Android devices might have different versions of the market on board. If Google tweaked the market to be Moto-droid-worthy, they might have used a different number and atrackdog will show it. I'm sure about my answer in the above post. I'm just guessing on this one. ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
That also makes sense. I suppose the Nexus (for example) would likely have a newer version of Market and that would be why aTD picks up on it.

After using it for a few days, I don't really see the usefulness of aTD from a practicality standpoint. Every app on my phone that aTD says has an update available, isn't really available on my device (except for SlideME, which is unimportant to me). It would be more useful if the app detected the user's device, and only showed updates applicable to that particular phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
That's true. When atrackdog was released, the market app didn't give notifications when updates were available. Also, at the time, there wasn't much on the market itself, several 3rd party markets (like slideme) were also out there, and people outside the US didn't have market access anyway. It filled a gap that's largely not there anymore (for US users). I know several countries still either don't have market access or no access to paid apps from the market, so it may be very useful to them.
[G1 Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
It's useful for a few apps which post their betas on google code, etc, such as Wireless Tether...
[General Questions and Answers] elijahblake:
Hey guys, I'm new here as you can see by my 1st post count :)..

I've heard a lot about this site through all the various tech blogs i visit daily and I figured this would be a great place to seek help....

I have limited experience with Winmo or any smart phone for that matter. I've debranded/modded several sony erricssons but from what I've been reading that's small potatoes to what all of this is about...

Here's my situation. I have a friend that just got a HTC Tilt2 from AT&T and he absolutely hates it. He came from a blackberry 9000 but after returning them twice because of all the errors and locking up he told AT&T to send him something different.

He says the tilt 2 is always doing things he doesn't want it to which is probably User related i'm sure, but it does seem to freeze a lot and it's just not very user friendly. It has Winmo 6.5 professional

So these ROM's that you guys create will they solve his issues, or should i just tell him he needs to sell the phone?

I've been reading up on how to load the new images. And i've got a small grasp, but if it's not going to make him like the phone anymore then i really don't feel like getting that deep into it.

Thanks,

elijahblake
[General Questions and Answers] cmstackar:
ROMs will definately improve his experience. I have no idea what he requires, but for me the stock ROM on my pure, which is the same as the tilt2 without the keyboard, sucked, and ended up flashing it withing 30min of having it, and now I love it
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Welcome to the forum. Cooked roms by our great chefs are the best way to improve a device's performance, customizing, etc. There's tons of info on this forum about rom's etc. So read, search, & happy flashing...
[General Questions and Answers] elijahblake:
thanks for the feedback guys. Guess I'm about to do some studying in here..
[General Questions and Answers] elijahblake:
I'm having a hard time finding exactly which ROM to get and where to get it, but all i do is put winmo software on my computer, and put that SPBL or something called something like that and run it.

Then i can put the ROM on the sd card root?

Is that the outline more or less?
[General Questions and Answers] poetryrocksalot:
Don't listen to these people. Stock ROM's are actually less likely to be as buggy as custom ROM's.

Changing the ROM simply changes the software that is installed on the phone, or sometimes even the operating system.

If your stock ROM has alot of errors than it's even more likely that these other ROMs will have more errors. This is because software and files are being ported from other phones. The more foreign software and files that you have on your ROM, the more likely that the system is unstable and uncompatible.

Manufacturers and Carriers usually provide updates for Stock ROM's, this is the best way to go.

From what I am hearing, your friend doesn't sound very enthusiastic about the complexity. He is looking for a phone that simply works. These people in this forum are fanatics about Windows Mobile.

Your friend's phone freezes a lot, and if that is the case, don't even change the ROM, it's probably a faulty CPU or bad RAM or anything hardware-related for that matter. Also, if your friend isn't used to the lag, than I should remind you that Windows Mobile 6.5 is very laggy for phones with a 500 Megahertz processor.

In regards to user friendliness, Windows Mobile is not user friendly no matter how much you customize it. That is what iPhone OS and Windows Series 7 is for These people here are telling you to flash the ROM, but they seriously didn't consider what exactly you were looking for (are they trying to glamorize windows mobile, or are they trying to help you?). Changing the ROM doesn't change anything, you still have to deal with Windows Mobile as an operating system. These people like Windows Mobile very much, and have not considered the actual context of user friendliness. iPhone can be user friendly because little children can use it. Windows Mobile can be user friendly because it allows you to customize the desktop and make things more accessible (which isn't user friendly for people who can't do this).

You friend wants something that provides intensive business and communications features but can completely be mastered by a 10 year old.

So without further ado, switch to a simpler phone.
