[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
N1 Launcher on SenseUI? :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
no man on AHero! LMAO

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
N1 launcher has that fade in/out feature when going to apps and back to home. also has bullets shwoing pages on homescreen........ 3 on each side. very nice
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pr1nce5st:

Voice Search works!!!!

jbed Java still doesnot, getting FC. Any suggestions?

Shall monitor Battery.

Can anyone tell me (prefered per pm) if the multitouch feature is working fine in dolphin browser?

I'm currently using Villain 3.1 and I'm not happy because Dolphin reacts like an old 386 PC. Sux.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Just installed 0.3, so no info on battery, otherwise working great!!! :D

Multitouch zoom in the map application, and this navigator stuff in general, just great!!!!!

Now I will survive until aHero will work with WLAN for me ;o)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] species8472_rules:
I am getting a different checksum for build 03. Can you confirm again? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Just installed, yes it is. It is not 100% smooth but working fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadoon:
can we install this 0.3 over an 0.1 or it's need a full wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sardanadixit:
Great ROM, full screen animation of weather app is working perfect. Battery consumption is less than it was in 0.2 but have not tested this fully. Voice Search is working as it should be.

Things still not working:

jbed Java (getting FC)

Teeter game (getting FC)

Automatic Brightness (is there any 2.1 ROM supporting this feature?)

Gallery 3D rotation bug (I believe it is in all 2.1 ROM's)

Live Wallpapers are also not working? (Any idea on how to enable them or any plans to implement it in next release?)

I am facing a strange issue with the touch sensitivity, when the phone is placed on a flat surface, the touch doesnot respond very well, but if I lift the phone up a bit, the sensitivity is fine again. Anyone else too facing this issue?

Overall, a great stable ROM. Shall continue using this ROM as a regular day-to-day one if the battery lasts well enough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkazakov13:
Battery drains FAST. 5 hours since install and it's already at 30% with 1 hour usage. Info says Screebl Pro used 90% of the battery, which might be just incompatibility with this rom. Turned it off, and will see now ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
hey bro, great ROM :), any chance of getting arabic properly working on this ROM?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ilbulgaro89:
somebody has his first report about the battery drain?

But this release what introduce to make the "battery fix"?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sardanadixit:
I can confirm that the battery drain is less than v0.2 of this ROM but it is still more than 1.5 ROM's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] breenod:
Has the sim contacts bug been fixed yet? Or has it been fixed on any of these new roms yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Well done MaXo, appreciate your v03, although the java jbed bug remains unsolved (I asume it's not that easy to resolve since you had the intention to do so).

I would have been pleased to offer a modest donation, paypal however doeesn't accept it ("Currently PayPal accounts in Saudi Arabia are only able to send payments. This recipient is not eligible to receive funds":confused:().

Hope nevertheless you continue to amerliorate your excellent ROM.

Best greetings from

About the radio software is it a euro version or north-american?

The one im seeing in my phone is 63.18.55.06IH_6.35.08.22

I used to have 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22 which was best for us in north-america..

i haven't really tried it but should i play it safe and just re-flash to my previous one? I can't recall when the radio got changed, because i didn't do it. Prolly didnt happen when i flashed this rom but i donno... anyone got any info on this new radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:
Hello All.

Am I the only one with this bug??

After a fresh install and after synchronise with google contacts :

picture contacts from SD-card aren't show.

But contact pictures linked with facebook works.

With other ROMs it always work

Edit : finally it works with only some contacts...

i have some problems with my 3g data , i turn 3g data off, but after 10 seconds, the icon indicating 3g data usage pops up again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jason7449:
Hi, does this rom include the voice search? Or is it possible to install on it?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
you can choose in the settings to use only 2g, it reduces also the battery drain! its in settings > wireless
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nemoc:

- downloading

- Copy to SD Cart

- Rename to Update.zip

- Reboot in recovery mode

After a few seconds (every try diffrent) come this message:

E: Corrupt File:

System /lib/libicudata.so (everytime diffrent)

E: Verification failed

Do I something wrong? Or any other ideas? =)

Nemoc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:

Maxo Herodroid v 0.3

Very well done Mr. Maxo everything is working for me on this end except the battery drainage issue IMO this is the best Eris 2.1 Rom out there and I've tried all 500,000 of them lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] breenod:
Anybody able to answer this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I wouldn't know sorry I use gmail to sync my contacts seems like the fastest way to sync your contacts which stores the contacts photo as well. Then when I use Facebook sync it uses my friends photos from there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Latoc:
Hi,

Just for information, can you tell us what you did to fix the battery problem ? Did you do something with the kernel or is it some other tweak(s) ?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
something to do with dmagent running in background. apparently fails and keeps trying over and over. thats what was reported in other rom threads
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] merlin699:
tried for one day now and I'm impressed. fast, stable, everything works. watching the battery now.

thanks for your hard work ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liorry:
definitely the best Eris based ROM... and I checked them all :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sardanadixit:
The inability to hide SIM contacts is not a bug as this ROM is based on a CDMA rom, they don't use sim cards so this option is not in this rom (at least at the moment).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] domichal:
There's still a mini-jack bug - if you plug in your earphones there's no sound in them - sound goes through the phone speaker for all the time...

any way to fix that?

I can confirm everything else works perfect, apart from google earth or live wallpapers which I think can be a screen resolution issue?...

GPS fix is pretty slow on first use (and the first use only - so not a bug deal)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fredphoesh:
Hi all

If I back up using Titanium or the Nanbak and then restore after flashing with this rom, will the system settings I backed up and restored screw with the stability of this Newer ROM?

IE is it better to start from scratch again?

Thanks

Mark.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
All installed ok best rom ive used so far cheers mate hope the battery life is better than the others ive tried.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] neoxkid:
I have been using the 0.2V and now installed the 0.3 without wipe. How can i be sure that i have the 0.3V installed and not the 0.2?

do i have to do wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Wipe ... unwated

HeroDroid 0.3, installed yesterday. 2 minutes ago I tried to unlock the device - I mean get back from sleep - and it said: Deleting personal data, restarted in boot mode and now I have an empty phone. Strange...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] miessos:
I had a similiar problem on verification of the package only with a different file (Innovation.mp3 I believe....). When I inspected my sdcard I noticed that I only had a few MBs left of free space. After I deleted some files and run the flash again it went just fine. Maybe you can solve your problem with freeing up some space on your phone / sdcard...

Than something on behalf of the ROM itself. I ran v0.2 for a while and was very pleased with it at the beginning. It was fast, smooth and looked wicked but after a restore through Titanium backup (great app) it started to become a little bit clunky. But for a ROM in development it was more than acceptable!

The only bugs I ran into where the FC of CacheMate when I tried to take a picture from within the application (no biggie) and the horrible sound that came from the phone-speaker.

Also I seemed to mess something up when I preformed the following actions from the Android system recovery (RA-hero-v1.5.2): I "fixed apk uid mismatches" and "moved apps+dalv to SD", rebooted and ran into the problem that the ROM wouldn't load Sense anymore and just looped in trying to load it. Had to re-flash to solve the problem...

Overall a great ROM that I'll continue to follow and maybe will give v0.3 a try if someone can confirm that the horrible sound from the speaker is fixed (or maybe someone can point me to a fix that I missed along this thread...). Keep up the good work, I surely do appreciate it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
my mp3 ringtones-txt tones sound rubish on this rom anyone else noticed or just me??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkazakov13:
Yes, volume seems louder
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkazakov13:
Just tried it, but I'm not having this problem - Ran Meridian, music plays through speaker, when I insert earphones, music goes through them, if I unplug, music stops (but that's how it was always), and when you hit "play", plays through speaker. So - no, I don't have this problem. It operates exactly how it was always.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
louder and tinyer like someones turned the base off here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] machackpc:
How can we add German Language Support?

We just flashed our Hero just!

Is there any way can we add German Language Support. If yes! Please advice how.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zombiefly:
this is the best eris rom for me, i've been trying them all and although some have better features (multi-touch maps, correct volume and equalization, live wallpapers) this is by far the best for me. My only main gripe is the battery, but i've downgraded the radio and restarted the phone with gps enabled, which appears to have stopped the battery drain (for now).

I got this tip from another rom thread here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sardanadixit:
Which Radio version are you using now? Also how long have you monitored the battery with the downgraded radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zombiefly:
it's version 63.18.55.06IH_6.35.08.22

After flashing, I switched on GPS loaded maps and got a gps lock. I then powered off the phone with GPS on. Switched it back on and it started up with GPS enabled, which I then switched off. Apparently this sequence of events with this particular radio version fixes a battery drain issue. It's in one of the other ROM threads, can't remember which and i'm a bit pushed for time. I'm not even sure if the same issue exists in HeroDroid, it was more of an experiment ;)

Re: testing, all i can tell you is, if i picked up my phone, fiddled around with twitter, maps, gmail etc with gps switched on then the battery would more or less disappear before my eyes. Since I did this, its not moved and i've also enabled an overclock widget.

I've just updated to the latest HeroDroid (it's currently restarting) so I'll have to wait a while before I can give you any accurate info.

edit: well it's updated, the over clock is still enabled and everything looks fine so far. I'll see how quickly it eats the battery and report back.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DJBenson:
I noticed this so I've just installed Louder Volume Hack and used the "Stock" option which has restored the volume/quality to something more acceptable.

I've created an "update.zip" file with the stock audio filters, just tested the update on my handset and it works fine.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juno360:
Great Rom

I've used this version of the Eris dump from the begining and am very happy with it.

As mentioned above, the only small niggle seems to be the volume level/equalizer. Everytime you play a notification it is accompanied by a hissing background sound. I don't think I remember this happening on the 0.1 version.

Overwise 0.3 seems to speed things up a bit, well done MaXo64
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kys89012345:
is there a CMDA sprint 2.1 update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] species8472_rules:
Ok, my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 works fine. Strange the S9 does not work well with 2.1 ROM.

Only problem left is when you insert a 1/8 jack the audio does not output to external and stays on headset.. :(

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aziz831:
WOW this ROM is F****ng awesome!!!

No lag anywhere so far...forget HTC updating their HERO phones to 2.1...this is good enough.

THanks Devs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] infernose:
just installed for a couple of hours. only problem so far is that HSDPA goes AWOL after a while. can't seem to get it back without rebooting.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
flashing now, i take it we dont need google apps zip file?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Its a full sense rom so you shouldn't do
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] muchbt:
it works and it is fast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
Flashing now :cool: thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crytic:
Flashing now, I'll report back! Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
What is not working? Noticed anything yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phiit:
Flashing here too, thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] padstar:
Do you have to perform a wipe first, or can you flash it straight over 1.5. I'm using MCR 3.2 b5 at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I would wipe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I can confirm that WiFi isn't working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] muchbt:
wifi seems not working on my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] markatmgpc:
Anyone else got 'unable to start WiFi'

Also FC on 'Update 3G Display'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
its extremely fast, wifi doesn't work though!, faster by miles than 1.5!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lloydsparkes:
Have flashed, and my first comments

Verzion Wireless BootScreen - ewww

Update 3g Display (process com.htc.android.htcppst) Force Close before phone setup

Slight issues with keyboard responsiveness (but that might just be me)

Other than that, seems fast, and all working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
definatly wipe, i just forgot ans had lots of F'cs :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcduck1:
Just to confirm, this does not overwrite the recovery rom or anything? so we can downgrade with a nandroid backup incase theres a problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lloydsparkes:
And the wifi isnt working - im guessing missing driver
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jayw08:
Yeah im the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crytic:
Yep, had the FC on 3G Updater, too, and WiFi is not working. Apart from that, really fast an smooth!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah you should be fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] humantriangle:
That actually improved the sound issue (the only real issue I can find so far) mostly for me! :)

I downgraded my radio to the version that zombiefly suggested, and did what we said, my battery hasn't moved since, and I have overclock widget running. I think all in all, this is a great ROM! And with a little tweaking here and there, this is the best ROM I have tried yet, and I have tried quite a few. I love its simplicity and its speed. No unnecessary extras, it just works. I still have a tiny bit of lag in the keyboard, but its liveable for now. If this were solved then this ROM would be absolutely perfect! :)

I'm loving it! Thank you very much, good job!! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
what does AWOL means ?? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cyw00d:
Hi there

Normally I dont post a reply to thank the ROM baker ... but this time I would like to thank you, this ROM is so damn stable :)

There is only one thing that isnt working atm.. GPS

I turn it on, and then I try to use it with google maps but it keeps searching for GPS sattelites...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Swerner1975:
Turn GPS on and restart your Hero... then GPS should work...

But if you restart your device with GPS turned off, then the GPS again does not work... :-/

I hope this bug will be fixed in the near future...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cyw00d:
Ah thnx, I hope this will be fixed, beside that it works perfectly!

Thnx :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pr1nce5st:
Love the rom... been using it for a couple days now... however, i notice that any of my gmail emails containing images... the images no longer show...

in the stock email app some images so and some emails come not indicating any images at all...

not sure whats up with this or if it is just me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
check GMail's app settings..

I remember this back in Stock 1.5 !!

HTC Fail :p

thank you very much :o

glad you like it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Denil Wong:
Does this ROM includes gallery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zippyioa:
Have you tried Hero Radio 63.18.55.06JU 6.35.09.26??

This fixed the GPS issue on the 2.1 Defiance ROM I am using :D

Worth a try

Zippyioa
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
any more feedback guys??

a blog reviewed this ROM and said the whole system crashed once ?!?!

is there anybody who faced this??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rancor187:
Hi, love ur rom too. My only concern however is that I have sporadic reboots.

€dith: I mean not every minute but two days ago and just five minutes ago.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fredphoesh:
RADIO link needed please

Hi zombiefly,

Ive been searching and cant find the radio you mention

63.18.55.06IH_6.35.08.22

I can find one with a similar name though

63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22

Where did you get yours from?

Thanks,

Mark.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Yes I did. I posted it yesterday. The phone restarted and wiped once without prior notice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alti4:
I absolutely love this rom, downloaded the first version five minutes after you uploaded it and now using v0.3. Never encountered any spontaneous reboots or crashes. With the mentioned GPS fix, battery live is not worse than with MCR3.2 and with the sound fix, also this works great. Apart from that, everything (except Teeter, which I never use anyway), works great (incl. google nav outside US etc!!!).

Will definitively stick to it until MCR 4.0 will be released.

One question though: Do you see a possibility to include Titanium Backup and a File Editor in the rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zombiefly:
ok, after using this rom for 3 days now after applying the fix i mentioned AND overclocking, i can confirm that the battery life is considerably better than it was :)

I've tried other roms during this period and I keep coming back to this as it seems the most complete and stable (for me)

Nice work.

re: radio version, you're correct, i made a typo.

you can get all radio versions from modaco [http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
OUCH!!

will look into this..

I'm trying to make a generic SenseUI ROM. so everybody can adapt it to their needs ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alti4:
And I also think you're right in doing so. It's just annoying that there's no built-in file-browser. I always have to download one from the market over 3g before I can access and copy-paste my WiFi-Key stored on the SD-card (and I have no intention of manually typing this 63-digit code everytime I flash a new rom...). So there's always traffic on my limited data plan before I can access my WiFi. But it's not a big deal either...;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kh9n:
Blue Tooth and VPN problems on my device.

I have two problems so far:

1. Can't pair with any device by Blue Tooth, I tried with my laptop and another cell phone.

2. Can't connect to VPN, which connections are always out of time.

Except those problems on my box, everything just works perfect to me, I love this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zombiefly:
just experienced the random reboot, phone vibrated on desk and when i looked it was on the t-mob boot screen :(

i've not had an issue pairing via BT, at least it pairs to my car stereo. I did notice however that i had to initiate the pairing from the stereo as it didnt seem to be able to see the phone. This was not how it worked previously, so maybe there is an issue with the BT implementation in this ROM.
