Yep, tested it myself.. seems not to work. My Nokia headset seems to be connected successfully but just stays silent. Edited my kernel post and added a note about this.

However listening music over bluetooth (A2DP stereo audio) just works fine.

Does it work for anyone? Or anyone heard about a solution?

If the problem really is kernel related some interesting output of "dmesg" during calls migth be useful..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Thanks androcheck! It's working 100% now. :)

I'm so chuffed with the performance of my phone at the moment.

I guess the only thing I could still improve on is by using JIT. But until the bug with the XDA app and Tapatalk is sorted out, I'll make do without it.

An update on my experience with compcache...

Unfortunately, it seems to break Swype (prob. the most NB app to me). I'll begin typing, and within seconds, Swype just hangs up completely, and I have to switch to the android keyboard. Switching back to swype doesn't seem to help.

I thought perhaps it was due to my overclock, but not so. With compcache disabled, I can Swype to my heart's content.

Any ideas why this could be happening?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joaann:
I take various test with my Hero @768 MHz.

CPU Benchmark: 3162 ms @768 MHz

as MaXo64 may ask, "adb logcat" please.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Insane speeds! I'd be surprised if you don't see random lockups here and there though.

I'm running at 690mhz, which seems to be a happy middle-ground of performance/stability.

Back to compcache, I have now reduced the swap size to 48MB, and Swype seems to be happy. Will keep an eye on it and post here if I have any further problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
For some reason my FC's are no longer limited to my calendar (which was quite a problem in itself) but now also the phone process.

Obviously that's no good. Why am I the only one who seems to have this problem? I'm going to try reflashing and, if that doesn't work, I'm not sure what I'll do...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kieranc:
for some reason I can't set 710mhz with overclock widget, the frequency shows as 710000 rather than 710400. easy fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] modulec:
Anyone having color issues with new kernel?

Happened to me twice after installing it. I'm using OC widget to set the frequency to non overclocked value of 518Mhz while screen on, and 245 while off.

Anyways, after activating screen colors seams distorted, kind of pinkish. Locking the screen (turning it off) and unlocking it again seams to fix the color problem. Using adw launcher

Will try to catch logcat output next time I see it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
I faced that on my phone yesterday. and 90% found a fix !!

0.4 MHz is bothering you?? seriously?? :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
maxo can you improve the lwp speed please?

compare 0.9 with 1.0 or other vanilla roms
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kieranc:
that's not the problem - 710400 is a valid speed, 710000 isn't, I can't set it to 710 only 691 or 768
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
i'm doing the best I can, but it won't improve :(

it's either "closing after screen lock and fast" or "a bit slow, but works after screen lock" :(

if you want the first choice like in 0.9, do this in adb:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/etc/init.d/15gpu_perms
adb reboot

Questions

I have some questions before flashing this rom on my HTC hero:

- are MULTIPLE EXCHANGE accounts possible??

- does bluetooth work with car kits?

- is google maps installed?

- any other apps installed or should I download these from the market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kieranc:
as far as bluetooth audio goes, I believe it's been working for a while on sense based 2.1 releases, maybe it's some missing htc shizzle?

edit: logcat and dmesg when trying to make a call with bluetooth attached. the headset seems to be doing something, playing silence... hissing slightly.

I have used aHero 1.0 without the new kernel for some time now, and it was already flying without OC (i use LaucherPro).

just flashed the kernel, got to say i love it!

I have been running without oc - haven't had this rom stable for long enough to try a different kernel. Plus, I'm really happy with the speed I'm getting anyway - it's just the stability of some core apps, such as calendar & phone, that bothers me...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Just a heads up to those flashing the new ""jz002" kernel.

I've been noticing quite a few oddities throughout the course of the day, some of them documented here.

The conclusion I have come to is that the newer kernel is not as stable as "jz001". For one, I am a Swype user, and with the new Kernel, Swype tends to lock up randomly, and switching between "input methods" doesn't work as one would expect. With jz001, when I switch between keyboard, it happens instantly. With jz002, you have to exit your current input completely before the change is effected. Something is off there.

Secondly, GPS is broken. I noticed this tonight on my way to dinner. The best way for me to describe it is that the GPS "refresh interval" is slower, perhaps around 5 seconds. The net result is that Navigation refuses to work at all.

When I arrived at dinner, I confirmed the above issues with a friend of mine by flashing the jz002 on his Hero (he was coming from jz001 himself).

I hope these observations can be of some use to the devs involved. Right now, I must retire to bed. I'm pretty drunk, sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] witysimon:
I don't have any of the above problems except GPS not test yet.

click on the widget, then select "Advanced Settings", then scroll down until you see "Detect Frequencies" click on it once then go up to "Screen On Frequency".

set the Max to 652800 or whatever you like (advised not to go all the way to 710000). then click on on "Save" down the list..

done :)

For those having problems, flash the rom like so:

Wipe

Flash

Wipe again

Reboot

The wipe after the flash gets rid of all the "crap" added and the only thing remaining is proximity sensor which can be disabled.

The rom is running smooth with no apparent bug.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uqbar:
@MaXo

I'm also getting the infinite boot loop (>15min).

I have your same radio fw and am using RA-Hero-1.5.3.1.

So I presume that:

1. either the partitioning schema on the SD

2. or the actual wipe+flash sequence

is creating the conditions for the boot loop.

Do you have any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
if you have an "Ext3" or "Ext2" partition on your Sd card, make sure to wipe it..

since you are on "RA-Hero-1.5.3.1" do the following:

1-Wipe data/Factory reset

2-Wipe SD:Ext partition (don't do this if you don't have Ext partition on your SD card)

3-Flash the ROM..

4-Restart

done :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uqbar:
I actually have ext4.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
the ROM doesn't support Ext4 !!

just convert it using GParted or any other partitioner :)

use previous OC kernel(2.6.29-jz001-dirty-bc1700ee john@mond #1).

set scaling_min_freq to 480000 and scaling_max_freq to 691200.

it works like a champ.

the only difference between 1st OC kernel and 2nd OC kernel is the 2nd one have BFS and 352000 freq to be select.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
...and Compcache ability. I've PMed androcheck and asked if he is able to do a recompile with the additional frequency step and compcache enabled.

That's assuming that it's just BFS that is breaking GPS of course...

GPS problem in jz002 kernel:

Regarding GPS problem (slow update interval): strange.. didn't notice it on my phone, but will test further.

In the kernel there were no changes regarding GPS but of course the kernel is very complex software, so there is always the chance that this is a kind of side-effect.

jz001 kernel:

For those of you who like the "jz001" kernel: I am doing a recompile now. I will not change anything. Will only add compcache and the one additional frequency step as supposed by StNickZA.

Kernel update!

As said before I recompiled the "jz001" kernel for those who have better experience with jz001 than with jz002.

I did not change anything in the kernel or the config besides these points:

Changelog from jz001 to jz001.1

Removed some cpu frequencies which are not supported by overclock widget and because of behnaam's suggestion that less frequencies improve speed switching

Added 352MHz frequency

Compiled ramzswap kernel module (aka support for compcache)

Version info (as shown in "settings"->"about phone"):

MAKE NANDROID BACKUP!

Boot into Recovery, flash as update.zip!

No wipe needed.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androcheck:
To bring some light into the different kernel versions I will describe which sources I used

Until now I have posted 3 kernel versions:

jz001 (see post)

jz002 (see post)

jz001.1 (see post)

The base of all 3 of them is behnaam's source tree on github which is in facz based on toastcfh's kernel tree.

jz001 is just a compile of the unchanged compile of behnaam's github commit from 2010-05-24 (commit id bc1700ee6831c8e59b00), also referred to as behnaam #22 (afaik). I just enabled the touschscreen fix for AOSP ROMs (which was already in the source tree). This tree uses the standard Linux scheduler (CFS).

jz002 is compiled from the github tree of zjr8 (commit id 173c642e783fbddde488) which is a branch of behnaam's tree. zjre8 added the BFS patch and the 2.6.29.6 patchsets (=some additions to the general Linux kernel and afaik needed for the BFS patchset). In this kernel added support for compcache by myself from http://code.google.com/p/compcache/ (as it's not included in the standard kernel) and changed the frequency table. That was all.

jz001.1 is basically the same as jz001, I just added compcache support and edited the frequency tables. No other changes.

Here the tree representation:

--+> toastcfh's kernel tree
|
+--+> behnaam's kernel tree (standard scheduler) ([B][URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6592094#post6592094"]jz001[/URL][/B])

+--+> androcheck added compcache + frequencies ([B][URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6625210#post6625210"]jz001.1[/URL][/B])

You see, not that much magic behind and all the credits go to toastcfh, behnaam and zjr8. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
thanks, will this work with any vanilla rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androcheck:
The kernel itself: yes

The update.zip: NO

That's because the "boot.img" which gets flashed by the update.zip contains not only the kernel image (zImage) but also the initramdisk (which contains the filesystem for the early boot stage).

And this initramdisk may be ROM specific. Using a wrong one could bring into a boot loop.

But if you tell me which Rom you are using and where I can download it, I can extract the boot.img, take out the initramdisk of your ROM and pack it together with my kernel into a new boot.img.
