Great news Maxo...

If I could make a few suggestions:

1.) Please don't try use a BFS-enabled Kernel like the others have done. Too many niggles.

2.) Please keep the same dial-screen when on a call (ie. all buttons hidden until MENU is pressed)

3.) I am sure I am outnumbered on this one, but I'd prefer to seen an overclock-enabled kernel, but one that leaves the actual overclocking to the user. Seems that everyone has a different opinion / preference on what the correct overclock combination should be, so hard-setting it as some have done is a real limitation.

Thanks again for aHero, still the best Vanilla ROM available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
1- Yeah, I hate it too. I compiled a CFS kernel :)

2- Done.

3- Done :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Since my other requests have been covered (non-BFS etc) I have only one left: support for wired-tether. Either by the built-in function or with the wired-tether app.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
*really* looking forward to the next version and hoping it fixes my network problems...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DaNiEl FrEnCh:
is there any way you can add the sense camera to this rom rather than the android one, its so much better
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooper104:
i do second that, as much as i dislike sense, the camera is awesome. i have tried extracting an pushing the HTCCamera.apk, but it fails :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
The HTC camera can NOT be included since it requires HTC framework that simply does not exist in real vanilla ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snopadol:
All went well except that apps2sd didn't work

after doing what said on the first page

help me please!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
new update is out !!

sorry guys for the delays, but I'm insanely busy these days :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pmicho:
Hi, new to this rom. At first evrything seems to work well, except not able to have wifi working. Could it be because I wiped proxy settings? Is there already a task killer? Should I uninstall my task manager?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zorxd:
Hi

Can anybody tell me the difference between this ROM and others based on cyanogen 5.0.8?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] starchenxinyun:
download is error
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] welldl:
Wifi can't used. slow than ahero1.0, just boot anime very good. i back 1.0 :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyHitchman:
Also unable to enable Wi-Fi
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
ummm, maybe I forgot to compile the wlan.ko for the new kernel :o

give me a sec to compile :)

EDIT:

it was a ramdisk problem. here is the fix:

http://www.multiupload.com/9Q8EYJ2GXW
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevin-sc:
how about auto backlight?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevin-sc:
I am disapointed that without auto backlight,can't enable wifi,camera FC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] niXXoz:
Then don't flash the ROM if you got a problem with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pmicho:
Sorry, but the fix does not correct the wifi poblem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
come on !!!

why wifi works perfectly with me? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gertjanw1993:
maybe wipe everything instead of overwriting?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pmicho:
I reinstalled and wiped everything...reinstalled the fix. Wifi still not working...stupid comment removed. Sorry!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blueflash:
LOL :) some people ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] achiesa:
I have the same problem with WiFi !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
OK guys, try flashing this for the last time:

even though it would be helpful to give me some "adb logcat" output instead of *****ing about the problem :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
ahero1.1

Downloading and will flash after my studies!

Cheers

EDIT: Flashed it! and it's fast and responsive, Awesome work

BUT... The notification bar is very annoying! (you can't just flicker it down, you need to drag your finger all the way or close to pull it down) This is caused by the BFS Kernel and is very annoying for me! I'm trying to convince myself to try it longer but...

EDIT2: Wifi disconnecting all the time. will attached a logcat. I had to cut down in lent but I hope you have what you need!

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyHitchman:
Thanks! This fixed it. You won't ever find me *****ing about your work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pmicho:
Flashing kernel_vanilla_BFS-signed.zip fixed wifi. Thank you very much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pmicho:
Hi, is there anyway I can setup a double click on the trackball to avoid going through the lockscreen all the time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
After trying Fallah I felt something is missing . I found out that I actually prefer the normal vanila roms for the first time ! . Anyway I saw an android 2.2 rom here in the forums and It would be cool if you fixed its camera and made a 2.2 rom .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
glad that you do :)

anyway, i'm looking forward for a fully functioning Froyo on hero too. but currently I barely have time to develop on Eclair :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
you need to release new version of rom soon) this wi-fi problem is very bad
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sinior:
I Have Gps problem.big planet and maverick not found me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madwolfchin:
Hoping to try this would this work if my Hero cannot be overclocked ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooper104:
yes, it can be overclocked to 710
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooper104:
ok, after a brief and fun visit to CM6 (while very stable, still too many issues for day to day), I am back and once again you have done an awesome job.. 1.0 was great, this is just as good and loving the new apps2sd enable option..

now this is based on CM5.08, does that mean easy update to CM6 when it is stable enough?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Maxo, any news on the CFS kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I've been using this rom for about a week now and it's good. The issue with the notifications slider being slow/ hard to drag down is a pain - but hardly a show stopper.

The only problems that I've had are the phone rebooting twice while on a long journey and using CoPilot/GPS. This may be because it got too hot while being charged - or it may be a problem with the ROM... *shrugs*

I am having another serious problem with GPS, but I'm led to believe that this is an issue with all 2.1 ROMS where GPS can only get a fix if the GPS is switched on when the phone is booted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
Maxo ... I think its the right time for an update "aHero1.2" .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
what features do you want in it?

cuz I have none :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
Its features are ok , but you need to make the rom more stable ( smoother ) .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
It's almost perfect as it is. Just make the notifications slider a bit more responsive. That might just be a case of making the screen more responsive... Also, if you could get GPS to work more reliably without it needing to be on when you reboot... That might be a more fundamental problem though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
may I ask why anyone would use copilot on android when google nav is superior for most (maybe all) people who've used it? I loved copilot until I started using google nav

copilot is missing so many basic features and has such inferior map quality (at least in north america) and is so unstable (FCing and sometimes even resetting phone) that it seems your issue is copilot, not this rom. copilot has some nice extra features, but the fundamentals aren't as good for most users.

sorry for long post - I guess I could have just typed "have you tried google nav? it's better for most people" LoL

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I have tried google nav and, while it's useful for some things (specific POIs not in copilot for example) I find copilot to be better. I haven't had issues with force closes and it's got more features than google nav - which is, imo, a simple no frills navigation app.

NOt that I want to turn this thread into a copilot vs google nav - just answering your question :-)

The reboot issue maybe to do with copilot, although I suspect it's due to the heat caused by the combination of GPS and charging. The issue with the initial GPS fix is definitely a problem for many 2.1 roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daashali:
Today I downloaded FroydVillain and loved it. It is realy nice and FAST.

The only problem is It doesn't show Farsi or arabic right.

aHero I think is at its peak and beside some minor bug fixes it doesn't need any new feature.

But Froyo is another story. MaXo please make a new ROM based on Froyo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I would agree with this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
There is a way to make it show Arabic and Farsi , download the new Arabizer (for froyo ) :

http://code.google.com/p/arabicandr...bic_Android_Plus_G1_Magic_signed.zip&can=2&q=

Anyway it was tested on Fusion Rom 2.2 and it worked . try it on FroydVillain it may work .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daashali:
Thanks Ahmad. I converted back to aHero but I'm going to give this a try.

Update:

The solution Ahmad pointed out didnt work with FroydVillian but it works fine with Fusion Rom 2.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
As far as I am concerned, aHero *was* at its peak until the move to CyanogenMod. This is almost exclusively due to the BFS kernel which myself and many others in this thread strongly advised against using when Maxo was first considering the move to CM.

A CFS kernel was promised (see release notes in first post), but it never materialised and I was forced to switch. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Hmmm - looks like aHero may be more or less dead... Bug fixes included...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daashali:
is aHero dead?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Yes it is... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nospoftombl:
aHero 1.1 download does not work (download limit reached); is aHero actively maintained any more? If not, any alternatives for GSM Hero (no Sense UI)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
Unfortunately the developer is busy so there is no maintaining . Hopefully when Cyangen mod 6 comes out he will make an update , but for now try the Froyo Roms the developers fixed the camera and everything is working . I'm currently using the fusion rom (froyo) , but I will switch as soon as cyanogen releases his official hero rom .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nospoftombl:
Thanks for the info. Do you mean FroydVillain or Cronos with Froyo ROMs? I think I will give VillainROM 12.0.0 a try and wait for more stable Froyo-ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Cronos froyo 0.2 is incredibly stable and commercial quality. All hardware works perfectly. No reason to wait

Posting from cronos froyo on my hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
I mean another rom , the one with (fusion!rom 2.2) . To be honest I think the ones you mentioned are better , but I chose this rom because its the closest to a cyangen mod (it uses cyanogen sources) .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool, yes, fusion is closer to being cyanogenmod, in fact it's so close imho that it might as well be the nightly builds with a couple of extra things added in from a smart developer. he's done a good job on fusion and maintains is really well when he has the time.

for me, cronos is virtually perfect. and it's UI is more responsive than what I found with froyd, however froyd has some amazing performance coming out of it's new kernel, where in the past cronos' kernel blew away the competition. however cronos froyo certainly had fewer, in fact zero, growing pains with the addition of the camera functionality, and it was already the fastest, most solid and most fully working froyo rom imho.

so now it's still the one I'd choose as being most mature.

anyway, my original post about froyo roms here was just to let the other person know that froyo roms are now ready for prime time, very solid and useful roms that are imho actually running better than the CM5.0.8-based vanilla 2.1 roms (which have been in development for far longer).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
I may go for cronos rom since u are saying that its smoother , but I hate to install all of my apps again !! . Also I will miss the new settings (cyanogen settings) .

Also I agree Froyo is the way to go as u would have more features and less bugs . The camera works great now they even got rid of the annoying date mark !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
in your current rom, buy titanium backup, hit menu->batch->backup all user apps + data (DON'T run any backup with the work "system" in it though).

then nandroid+ext or bart backup yoru entire current rom (if you have space on sd card - maybe 400-500 or so megs if you have an ext partition to backup also). if not, it's not the end of the world, but always nice to have a perfect copy to restore back to if things to badly...

then wipe all, flash cronos, set it up with google account (have to go to settings->accounts->add->google, there isn't a setup wizard built in like in some other roms), let it run for a while etc, do it's thing, reboot once or twice. once it's all settled in, install titanium, menu->batch->restore missing apps + data (again do NOT run any restore operation that mentions "system").

could take a long time (hour?)

when done, reboot.

expect some slowness for a little bit but it will get faster as each app gets run once, and then the phone gets rebooted eventually and all just gets smoother and smoother.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
Every time I use this backup method my rom becomes buggy and I get a lot of FCs , that's why I left using back up apps .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that should only happen if you don't follow my instructions exactly.

Specifically the parts about "system". only backup and restore the user apps. optionally the user apps + data (but NOT system data, only user app data, if that option exists - depends on version of titanium backup).

And also might not work as well in older versions of titanium backup, not sure there as I use the latest of course.

Hello,

Thanks and good work !

I'd like to know why I can't root my phone up 528 Mhz. (?)

I've the aHero 1.0

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
u're not even making sense. u can't 'root your phone to 528mhz'.

rooting and overclocking (even though 528mhz is not even considered overclocking since it's the default frequency) are totally different things
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wTf48:
Yes I know, sorry for de error of word, I was tired... ;)

I would say "overclocking" ... :D

I use SetCpu for change the frenquency of the CPU but I can't overclock my phone above 528 Mhz (because it is the default frequency).

Is it the ROM aHero who prevent the overlocking above 528 ?

thx

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
I recently upgraded to the new official European wm6.5 sense 2.5 rom. While trying to get my head around the new slow default text messaging app I noticed that when I go to add a recipient, the contact list displays my sim contacts as well as a separate entry for different numbers of the same person. For instance, if I have someone called Alex with both a home number and a mobile number entered, the contact list will display it as two separate contacts. I should also add that I have disabled showing sim contacts using advanced config, and they don't show in the "normal" contact list, just in the messaging one.

As you can imagine, this makes navigating through the contacts much more untidy and time consuming.

Any help will be appreciated
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
is there no one else with this problem? I was hoping there would be a reg fix or something to sort this out like we've had before
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Allen Mead:
Nope, as I don't use the sim for contacts. I would suggest that you do the same too, no more problemo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
I dont use sim either.. ive disabled it on the normal contact list. But it seems to show up in the messaging contact list as well as home numbers and email addresses and these are not all grouped under a single contact.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Allen Mead:
In that case, sounds like you need to go into the sim manager and delete the numbers off the sim, if that doesn't work, get your provider to do you a new sim.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Skromnjaga:
ASUS A696 User

Hi, Thanks for the release and good work. Since this is only the beginning (I hope), I begin to inform the performance firmware on my PDA (ASUS A696).

1 - Bluetooth - does not work (does not receive or send files)

- In the settings instead of the icon is a black square.

2 - Today - of all the elements shown only date and time, and only in the old form (as in the previous OS). I wish that Today was like other communicators.

3 - Start - which happened to all the sounds from the "Sounds and Notifications"?

4 - Software & others - as the 696 series have more memory, you can not throw out the program and plug-ins.

Waiting for a new version;)

Sorry for my English? i'm from Ukraine).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
A few comments on your post:

1. I will check on the bluetooth situation. When I tested bluetooth, I didn't quite test file exchange enough.

2. I am working on a remedy/fix for the today screeen. However, I have no idea how long it will take for me to get it working.

3. This is just a matter of updating a few files. I used an older (and verifiably working) package to give non-phone support.

4. I am aware that the A696 and the later version of the A626 carry more flash rom space than the older version of the A626 and the A686. However, no matter what device I make roms for, there is a finite amount of space to fit everything into. As operating systems and programs progress, they get bigger and bigger. If everything keeps growing in file size, there is less space to fit more items, so I must remove some files/programs to keep within that finite limit of storage space. Where do all the files that I put into the rom go? Well, if you take a look at your storage memory, you will see that the total storage memory available is less than the standard 256 rom size.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bmasephol:
I've downloaded and successfully flashed. Working good so far. I'm just installing some programs that I normally use and haven't run into an issue yet. It will be nice to have a working home screen but for now it isn't that big of a deal. I don't use bluetooth often so I can't comment on that yet. Wifi working, my music plays with S2P, I used windows market place to install netflix and office.

Keep up the good work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] valyan:
Good job, but there are many failures to complete.

1) Today

2) Pictograms from former versions

3) "Sounds and Notifications"

4) Black pictogram Bluetooth in menu

5) When I close program - PDA show me Today(but must show menu)

6) Where is Oficce? :)

7) The pictograms not move in Start menu(only "Move to top")

Can you change your previous OS(WM6.1 rom version 2) context menu, pop-up menu and other for new from this OS?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alaska99:
Do you have french rom...?

Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [nemielas]:
just tested this build together with your WM6.1 release.

first impression - looks nice :D

even though seems slower on A696 - but this could be just because it's not tailored fully.

1) didn't test bluetooth much but seems to work fine with sending/recieving. I'd even say it's faster than on WM6.1 v2 release;

2) "Sounds and Notifications" problem with Events from previous v2 WM6.1 build;

3) under "System - Bluetooth" sometimes on BT icon there's black square - didn't notice when it happens though;

4) closing program throws you into Today screen insted of previous step;

5) same problem with Task Manager as I've said in previous thread for WM6.1

good luck :)

Hello, Steven!

I'm very thankfull to you for WM 6.5.

I have trouble, while installing, to say correctly, on the beginning of installing on my a626. I did everything as in instructions, even for few times. When i press power and enter button, make double tip on the soft reset, I see blue screen, where said sth about Cannes and its version.

it write my FAT type(FAT16), i see very little blink of "Reading file", if not take off fingers from power and enter button, it resets to blue screen again, if take fingers off the buttons, PDA loads...I just don't know what to do.. please, help me!

I think I've found an issue. This morning when I turned on the device I had a missed appointment, the notification dialog at the bottom of the screen showed up but it was blank and had the wrong time on it. Not sure if this is a 6.5 issue or an Outlook 2010 issue.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
Oh dear..I will be sure to check on that. As far as Outlook, do you mean Outlook on desktop Windows or Pocket Outlook on Windows Mobile? The only thing is that office (outlook) 2010 is still in beta and hasn't been released officially to the general public yet, so I can't find any definite fixes. I still believe you, but the fact remains that Outlook 2010 is still in beta and the code for the finished product could always change.
