Hey all!

My first post here, even though I've been lurking these forums for a long time now. :)

So I have to say, MaXo64, aHero is the bomb! :D Been 100% reliable, speedy and smooth out of the box, and even better with the appropriate launchers, kernels and settings. Really appreciate what you've done. :)

So what brings me to post here? Just a question and a request:

Have you (or anyone else here on aHero 1.0) noticed FPS-lag on all Hexage games? (Buka, Totemo, Radiant) It was running very smoothly on aHero 0.9, but after aHero 1.0 (with original and androcheck kernels, JIT + w/o JIT), it has been very laggy and unplayable. Have been unable to figure out what is causing the problem. :(

Could you provide a JIT-disable update.zip? Every now and again I chuck JIT on to see if certain apps perform better (or are fixed, ie. Tapatalk), and it would be really good if you could provide an update.zip to disable JIT as well. :D JIT works well (almost all apps work with JIT), but certain apps (namely Tapatalk) do not work. Tapatalk developers know about this, so it's up to them to fix it - NOT YOU. :) All I'm asking for is to make it easier to disable JIT. :P

Thanks for any help you can provide, and keep up the awesome work! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androcheck:
Hi!

I made an update.zip for you (and others).

I basically just made the same update.zip as for enabling JIT but exchanged the files getting installed by those from the original ROM install.zip.

Feel welcome and enjoy! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] justcme:
Thanks! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] witysimon:
Please MaXo, could you upload the newest kernel to this forum or somewhere else than multiupload? we cannot access it in China.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androcheck:
Hi!

AFAIK it's the kernel you find also attached to this post (MaXo64 should correct me if I am wrong).

Btw, I just decided to try also to enable JIT on my Hero and now it's really flying!

Man, I love this ROM! MaXo64 keep up your good work! :)

I know benchmarks do not always say much about real life usage, but my top Linpack result is 4.639 MFLOPS now! woohoo!!! :) (running at 710 MHz).

hi!

just tested intensly with kernel "jz001.1" here, but no problems here. Always got GPS fix within a few seconds, sometimes it took a little longer but never more than 20-30 seconds (outside, clear sky here today).

No idea what could be the problem for you, but I assume it's not kernel related. I didn't change anything GPS related in there, so it's basically the kernel as in behnaam's github repository.

Anyone else facing GPS problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sandmen:
No problems with GPS, work's perfect with "jz001.1".

Re: [ROM][Eclair 2.1] aHero v1.0 [20/5/2010] "Perfect Eclair" !! ++ {New OC Kernel}

I re downloaded & re flashed 1.0 in the hopes that I could avoid the force closes. Everything was fine for the first couple of hours & then I started to get fc on the calendar. That's how it always starts. Soon it'll be fc on the phone. I did try a stock rom with no apps2sd & it was fine so I wonder if it's my ext partition... I might try reformatting tomorrow & see if that helps. Otherwise I'm at a loss...

Hmm

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Going to try and reformat the SD card and see if that fixes my problem. Otherwise I'll wait for some wisdom from Maxo...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
It looks to me like there's some kind of database problem. Does that fit with my theory of a dodgy ext partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] witysimon:
Re: [ROM][Eclair 2.1] aHero v1.0 [20/5/2010] "Perfect Eclair" !! ++ {New OC Kernel}

if you are coming from other rom with app2sd, please wipe ext partition. or else you will have problems.

-------------------------------------

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I have wiped everything every time I've tried installing this rom - that's not the problem here.

Since having this problem I've tried a few roms with apps2sd including earlier versions of aHero and the modaco rom. Only the stock ROM, which doesn't use the ext partition, didn't show this problem. That's what makes me think there's a problem (hopefully a fixable error) with that partition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
try pushing the attached phone app to "/system/app", then restart your phone..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
What's the best way to do that? Just copy the files?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
PResumably something like adb push Phone.apk /system/app ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Hmmm... Fails with "failed to copy 'Phone.apk' to '/system/app/Phone.apk': Read-only file system"

which is odd, given that I'm root...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Miister-Ot:
try adb remount before push
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carbonyle:
By experience: if you have an EXT4 (no problem with ext2/3) partition (even empty) you may have problem with certains ROMs

Anyway: use Gparted to format your microSD, normaly you won't need to format your FAT32 partition, but I alway prefer remove all partition, then create a new partition table (do this either with a Gparted liveCD versin of better: use linux. Windows Alternative: Paragon Partition manager (which is great coz it support most Linux FS)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Re: [ROM][Eclair 2.1] aHero v1.0 [20/5/2010] "Perfect Eclair" !! ++ {New OC Kernel}

I've been using ext3

I'll probably use gparted in future - I'm already using Linux as my main OS at home.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
That worked a treat!

Now we just have to see if I get continue to get FC on my phone app or not...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Nope - still getting lots of FC on the phone, Calendar and MMS. Also still getting lots of db errors in logcat...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
I don't think it has anything to do with the SD card..

the first Java Exception I saw in logcat was in Apn list !!

so unzip the attached file (CyanogenMod 5.0.7 APN list) and do this from your Computer terminal:

adb remount
adb push apns-conf.xml /system/etc
adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
adb reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Ever since pushing the Phone.apk the phone has been unusable unstable. FC's all the time - if I can even get it to wake up or respond to the touch screen!

I pushed the apns-conf.xml as specified and there is no difference.

The only reason I thought this was sd related is because I have had *exactly* the same problem with ahero 1.0, 0.8 & modaco ROMs. The only ROM I've tried recently that hasn't had these problems is the stock one, which is the only one of those ROMs to not use sd:ext at all...

Could be a red herring I suppose...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carbonyle:
Weird problem... If I were you:

- delete all partition on microSD, create new one

- wipe your phone from recovery

- flash aHero, new kernel if you want (more if you want: JIT, market fix, terminal fix, radio...)

- boot your phone

- Set up google account, reboot

If you still have problem, sorry for you :/

But before that :

1/ Nandroid backup

2/ try booting your phone in safe mode (maintain during boot process Menu key (if I remember well), in safe mode App are not "loaded" so if it's one of your app who render you phone instable you'll know it ;)

EDIT: stupid remark: we agree that you have a GSM Hero not a CDMA or another phone, correct (I ask before I've seen people doing stupid thing when trying to hack their Wii)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I do really appreciate the help with this guys - I can't stand the thought of having to go back to stock again... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Thanks I did try the whole re-partition process as you describe already... And, yes, I do have a GSM Hero :)

I'll give the safe mode a go and see if that reveals anything...

Bugs & fixes.

The firmware is much better each version. I come from aHero 0.9

Bugs I found:

Camera Still printing the Date timestamp.

Other's like VanillaEclair 3.1 didn't.

I tested to copy from VanillaEclair 3.1 the files Camera.apk, libcameraservice.so, libcamera.so and liboemcamera.so to my aHero 1.0 and it fixes the timestamp bug, but i didn't testet enought to know if it is stable. I have the binaries if aHero developer needs them, tell me how can I send to you.

Auto brightness didn't work in my Hero.

This bug I don't know how to solve, aHero in general always fails the autobrighness in my phone. I read somewhere that there are 2 diffetent kind of Hero in terms of autobrightness, I suppouse that my hero is the old one. In the modaco firmwares this always work, but it was before aHero exists and also any other 2.1 firmware.

Connect bot Local Terminal FCs. :confused:

I'm using JIT maybe it is related with that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
Yeah, auto brightness isn't working for me either
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
VPN is coming soon.. :)

I actually solved the timestamp for the next version.

but Autobrightness usually doesn't work in Vanilla ROMs .. but I'll try to solve it someday :o

I'm really sorry guys about the update, but i'm working 24/7 on my studying .. you know the end of a semester you always end up with 928346298++ projects and assignments :(

Screen off: Max 352000 - Min 245760

Does anyone know what controls the LEDs? It's just on this ROM when you get an email or SMS the LED is a static orange and then flashes green over the top. It should just be a single flashing LED right?
