Mine also hangs. I don't even use apps2sd :( I tried directly from 1.5 to 1.6 without flashing, didn't work, then nandroid, used 1.5 for a couple of hours then tried with a wipe then flash, just hangs at Hero bootscreen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Damn i'm getting mad, this is nonsense >.<

Maybe it's the recovery? Try updating to the latest amon_ra
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Ya, it really doesn't make any sense...

I'm already at Amon Ra's 1.6.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Ok, let's try another thing

Flash kimera then before rebooting move recovery.log to sdcard (there's an option to do this in recovery) and send it to me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Here ya go
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
There are no errors in log, the rom seems to be flashed correctly

i'm going to sleep now, we can do some other tests tomorrow

For now i don't have more suggestions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carlhoerberg:
wow, this a truly fast ROM! never seen android this responsive!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dan96815:
Installed fine for me great and fast rom!!

Thanks..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
So i figured out whats wrong.

Its the overclocked kernel itself.

It doesn't seem to have support for my phone for some reason.

I'll bet its alot more technical than that, but i don't know how else to explain it.

Over at the kernel thread. This was released:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6286560&postcount=35

So i gave it a try with a 1.6 rom i know works on my phone.

When flashing the kernel onto it, i'd get that stupid bootloop.

Without it, the rom worked just fine.

Exit93, i bet if you make a rom without the oc kernel. I'd get it to boot just fine on my phone.

I'm clueless as to how i'd get that kernel to boot my phone properly though..

Very important - Do not try this on CDMA Hero. GSM ONLY SORRY.

I think I've got a day off work tomorrow, if so I'll try to capture a few logcats when my phone freezes to see if the problem can be tracked down.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Let's hope for a fix today!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
does the overclocking works ? Is it true that hero can run at 710 mhz ? Any inprovements in 3d gaming ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dyna-storm:
I flashed this rom this morning (with flipclock patch) and so far it's running great. Menu's are smoother and opening apps are quick.

Well, it could be a placebo effect since I came from the more sluggish 2.1 cousin roms but seriously, it does feel fast. :)

I will try to boot up some 3D games later to see the performance.

update : Raging Thunder Lite still feels laggy, sound on / off
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madduckuk:
im sure its not just a placebo, i have come from a generic build that this ROM is based on and the speed difference is fantastic - maybe its just a really well made ROM anyway and it gains speed in other ways, but whatever i'm really happy with it.

apart from the lack of clocks, where have they gone? do i need to reflash?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bitelmaniaco:
I really like this rom, I have used it since 1.2 version...

thanks!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TZC-T1-FX:
Yeah, this ROM really does works @ 710Mhz.

No other ROM has past the 31FPS in NeoCore. Its simply not possible to achieve that kinda average FPS in NeoCore without overclocking.

Im getting 32FPS in NeoCore, the highest score of all ROMS to date. And that wouldnt be possible without a overclock.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bitelmaniaco:
I have got very FC with Advance Task Manager or Autokiller... are there any solution without uninstall them??

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gascanieto:
i don't bother with task managers. They always led me the forums looking for help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
can anyone try zenonia on the hero using this rom ? Does is lag or smoothly ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OzOne666:
This rom is amazing ( very very fast ) great works !!!! thank you !!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] twit_xp:
Hey just something I noticed while trying to flash the rom.

1) wiped flashed Rom and bt fix

2) booted successfully and completed initial setup. Rom is blazing fast.

3) entered recovery and flashed flip clock

4) reboot and stuck on splash screen.

5) wiped and reflashed rom and bt fix

6) booted successfully but the phone restarted itself during initial setup and went into boot-loop

Might just be me but I suspect the boot loop issue is related to incompatibility with the flip clock?

Hope it gets solved soon. Lag on the 2.1 roms are really starting to annoy lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Svenmaster:
im not able to establish a mobile connection with this rom :( but its very fast and smooth :>
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:

great job :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:

Not bad, but i have some problems to access the network (3G):confused:

Uhm... this sounds kinda like you need a tap on the shoulder. I believe there were a few before you. Of course no less respect for you from me though. Tried your rom and i liked it. But ever since my Mflops were the highest with MCR i reverted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sergio PC:
Try entering *#*#4636#*#*

Choose GSM only.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Maybe you should add this to the first post.. That sound really important because Modaco seems to be the reference for 1.5 Roms with Sense.

I will have a try to your ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beinadvance:
if I live in Lipetsk want me to install KimeraUSAfix.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:
First time It can't find the data network at all

After some reboot and one night switched on,

It find networks but it takes more time than other ROM to find the data Network. (30sec/1min)

Now all seems OK, I'll keep this ROM for a while.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
This is weird, anyway 1.1 is coming soon
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
great :D

is there any contacts+dialer for 1.5 like the 2.1 rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Do you mean like aContacts? htc dialer is like that...

Anyway if you like aContacts you can install it from market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
Nubdial is a cool alternative too for non-Sense ROM's.

I don't undertant why to change the HTC dialer, that is really nice!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
no bro, i mean like this one :)

Why to change htc dialer? Anyway you can port it from AychTeeSee Vanilla rom, app should be /system/app/Phone.apk

Anyway I will not include that, I don't want to make a vanilla rom

Once you're used to it, you can't leave it :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
I did a try with this rom, it's really fast! But I have a problem with the keyboard, how may I install different languages? I find only english, or morelocale...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Settings->Apps->Manage Apps

Look for interested app then clean data

Just tried free version, it runs really smooth

It's strange that a clock create a conflict with the kernel

@All_those_who_get_boot_problems: I'll release a version without overclock kernel, stay tuned
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Looking forward to it. Gonna try the btfix + kimera 1.6 with oc kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
how do i add the flip clock fix ???? anyone ????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Flash the flipclock zip exit69 hosted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
what does exit69 hosted? mean ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
:)

Download this file and flash it through your recovery.

That should add flipclock to the rom?

I'm not 100% sure though, i take no responsebility for any damage you might do to your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
well thanks for the reply.

Does the rom have ALL htc widget which is suppose to be present?

Does the app2sd automatic or need to do it manually ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
whats is this app2sd that i seem to hear about ????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
it mean to transfer all your applications or games to SD card. hence it will greatly aid in minimizing the usage of phone internal memory.

BTW kimera(Developer) My bad because i did not open my eyes big enough and use my brain to read before typing questions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
All htc widgets are there, just make sure if you want flipclock to flash it after running the rom at least 1 time

Anyway watvh out, an user reported that after flashing it the phone stucks on boot

Apps2sd is automatic

Apps2sd allows you to install apps on micro sd (you need an ext partition), it's fully automatic, you can use this rom also if you don't have an ext partition
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
This rom would be great if it were to support multi touch on gaming? Or is it just me that multitouch is currently not present and not usable for gaming ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Released Kimera 1.6 Without overclock kernel for those who have problems

Anyway multitouch is avaible only in Android 2.x
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
so what you mean is that multitouch gaming is possible for android phone ?

Is there any way you could just take the multitouch feature lols?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Well 1.6 works fine and boots up just fine without the oc kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phaelox:
Not a single issue with this new ROM, so far! No probs with Advanced Task Manager either. Unfortunately, I do get FC on Handcent a lot at random intervals, but I did on Kimera1.5 also. So I'm switching back to ChompSMS (was planning to anyway because of the fc's - and might have nothing to do with Kimera).

Made backups and then I flashed 1.6 straight over 1.5, started phone and it worked straight away. Never had such a fast first boot (although I usually do full wipe after flash, so maybe that has something to do with it?). Phone doesn't feel very much faster in general, to be honest, but Raging Thunder 2 now plays without any choppiness at all, which is a first for my l'il Hero.

What is everyone getting in Linpack? I know it depends on amount of apps running, etc, but I'd like some indications.

I get between 2.301 and 2.976 (mostly around 2.700)

If I turn off wifi/mobile data/gps/a-gps/bluetooth and kill every 3rd party process and most system/htc processes (using Adv Task Mgr),

I'm left with 84MiB free RAM, and I get 3.182 max.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robyrocker89:
can i change the clock manually?

can i use "overclock widget" or "setCPU" to set overclock?? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I wonder what the phone difference is since i and a few others cannot use an OC'd kernel compared to others.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ju.ri:
just want say thank you..

- not a single issue with 1.6

- fastest and most fluent I´ve seen on my hero

- great battery life

thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
Sorry if I'm boring, but does anyone here know how to write in this rom, using more languages in keyboard? I tried many IME_HTC modified, with more languages, but all were for 2.1... I need to use many languages in writing, and morelocale is all but fast... Thank's for any suggestion
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
Hi exit,

Would you mind telling me how the battery life has been since yesterday? Is it on par with your previous release?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phaelox:
Just flashed Flipping HtcClock to Kimera-1.6-OC and it works fine for me... (I had already booted phone several times w/o issue though)

Not sure, maybe Better Keyboard (not freeware).

EDIT: good news, check this out!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
I find it really good, almost the same of kimera 1.5 i think

I'm working on it, i'll release a fix once i find a solution
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
Great, I'll probably flash this weekend then.

By the way, is it just not possible to add all the original languages from the 1.5 official ROM. That way phaelox wouldn't have to use morelocale.

I'm no specialist though and there probably s a reason why english (without morelocale) is the only language available. ;)

Thanks for your work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phaelox:
It was actually sperug, I use English myself, but yeah more languages would be nice. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paul9619:
Sorry if this has already been asked but...

What is the difference between this RoM (Non OC'ed version) and MCR 3.2b5

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
I got 2.4-3.1 in Linpack cpu set to max. The more apps running in the backround the lower score.

But after disabling compcache I get 3.0+ regardless of apps running in the backround. So compcache seems to slow it down.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
Thank you much, as soon as I can, I will try it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Updated differences in first post, now comparison is with modaco 3.2

Consider that non overclocked ver uses teknologist's 1.92 instead maxisma's kernel

I'll make some tests, but compcache should make app starting time lower
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Do you figure the OC kernel will ever work for us that can't boot it up exit?

You're the coder, had any thoughts as to what may be causing it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
It depends how many apps you need running at the same time. For me it's better without compcache.

Thanks for the awesome rom, it's definitely the fastest available!:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:

I'm not the coder of the kernel, anyway i think there different hardware revisions of hero and so kernel is uncompatible with some revisions, anyway this is only an hypothesis
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
Well, multitouch is available in stock 1.5 Hero ROM (at least in mine European one in web browser and gallery and those could be probably moved to Kimera).

About Kernel.

As far as I know, OC kernel VS Teknologist's differs only that much

Yes but multitouch code doesn't come from android but from htc apps

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] subz85:
I've had the ROM installed since yesterday, did full wipe and so far everything is running sweetly. The speed is very impressive, I've only had similar results with Aychteesee's ROMs that were stripped down to absolute vanilla. Battery life seems to be pretty good. Full charge overnight, unplugged at ~8 this morning and currently on 65% better with general usage (installed a few apps, browsed internet for a while and a few phone calls and texts thrown in) My Hero is one of the earlier revisions I think. Maybe some information on the unbootable ones may help further understand the problem?

Excellent Work Exit :)

Well flashed kimera 1.6 again tonight the slow version and all working well here dont know what the problem was with the fast version and my hero?? but this one seems ok so far will see how it performs tomorrow.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FunkTrooper:
I bought my Hero (which can't run this rom overclocked) in December 2009 new and unlocked/SIM free from Expansys. So I suppose it would be one of the later ones.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noocm:
i just finish install it but why it can not see my music in my sd card ?

and it said no music found.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AXIS of Reality:
Installed 1.6 from a clean wipe.

So far zero problems, everything working fine.

Coming from MrBang Concept 2.0 (cupcake) I can definitely feel a speed difference in this such as moving between homescreens, opening apps, scrolling through long lists and even typing.

I'll be seeing how well the battery life lasts today and report back.

As for potential heat issues from the overclock, from using the phone for 30 mins (changing settings, syncing, downloading emails, changing widgets, etc) I can feel it is warm, and taking the back cover off the battery feels very warm. Not enough to cause any worry, but I haven't tried anything 3D or reasonably intensive yet so I'll need to see.

However, from leaving it turned on and plugged in charging overnight it was cool to touch so hopefully that means it does downclock itself when the screen's off or it's not in use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theoneandonlyhaz:
Newbie here.

Loaded the overclocked rom. Feels a little unstable to me, my Orange Hero just blacked out and reset itself twice in a row - of course this could be due to something else. Seems unlikely though, as I had to perform a clean install to do so. I'm giving the phone a few mins to cool down and trying again, but it would be nice to have the option of a middling overclock speed. I think in either this or the original overclock kernel thread there is mention of 675 being more stable, with similar results?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AXIS of Reality:
That sounds good.

While heat hasn't been an issue for me yet, I haven't run any intensive apps to test it. The ambient temperature here is about 22*C. I'm using an unlocked Orange Hero.

Probably anyone who has their hero in a case might get some issues.

What were you running when it blacked out, and was it charging at the time or in direct sunlight?

I don't know much about the kernel and I'm not a developer, but could there be problems if the phone is constantly running at the overclocked speed without the usual downclocking due to certain apps running in the background keeping the clock speed up? Eg: playing music for long periods while the phone is in a pocket (keeping the heat in)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theoneandonlyhaz:
Im just trying out the non-OC'd version right now to see if it's the ROM (or my phone itself) which is causing the problem. I havn't updated the radio in a while, so I'm not entirely sure what to do.

As for what happens, I did not leave my phone in direct sunlight or anything silly like that, no. I just used it for about 5 minutes at a time and it would stop responding for about 5 seconds and reboot. I mainly surfing (checking out the awesome speed!) and other stuff. I'm from the UK: ambient temp is about 20. Im updating my radio right now, as it seems like there is a bit of a problem with Kimera even without the OC.

edit: In case this might be important, flashing the latest rom caused my hero to not boot at all. Reverted back to an old rom and it booted again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiwi89:
I had a bit of a play with this one ther other night. The oc makes it very very fast, esp with the keyboard. Good work on the rom btw - I didn't have any issues with it when I was using it, (unlocked UK hero).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AXIS of Reality:
Ok, after a day's full test of the overclocked one, my observations in comparison to other 1.5 roms I've tried (Kimera 1.5, MrBang 2.0, MoDaCo 3.1, generic):

- Battery Life: no significant change from other 1.5 roms noticed.

- Speed: keyboard, zooming on pictures, homescreen and transition fluidity all amazingly fast. Especially noticed the email widget flicking through very fast without the usual pause or stutter.

- Market: downloads all work AFTER FIRST REBOOT. Need to turn off and restart the phone after using it for the first time for the market downloads to star working.

- Start-up: same speed as usual (but much faster than Modaco roms), initial homescreen load faster.

- Keyboard: fast no matter whether you have haptic feedback on or off (previously haptic feedback had slight lag). Also noticed it's faster at the word prediction so it seems smoother and easier to type fast.

- Heat: never got above warm, even after web browsing and multitasking while listening to music for extended periods or charging.

- Force Closes: haven't had any.

Now my favourite 1.5 rom, great work!
