it can be made to work currently, uninstall maps then use nav launcher, it will tell you you don't have maps installed and provide a download for one which works.

AHero 0.5

any ETA as i know its sunday and that. couldnt keep 0.4 due to battery drain so eagerly awaiting 0.5 with battery fix. love the senseless roms as my hotmail sync perfect
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bartolo777:
But i did partition on my sd is ext2/ext3 try to enable thru adb and nothing. Is it posible to get stock browser from hero to get flash player thanks...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
right posted in correct thread....... would like to see N1 launcher in this rom. you can either cook it in or post as an extra on first page. cooked in would be preferred as long as it doesnt affect anything else.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ysos3rious:
While trying to flash.. When its about half way through.. I get a message stating Installation aborted... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
very strange as update zip is signed and should be fine. try wiping dalvik cache and ext partitions prior to flash. wait for new update with battery drain fix i'd say
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
i see sensehero is out so i gues Ahero 0.5 is imminent. SenseLess UI ....... music to ma ears!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
aHero will get a new Kernel, so need more testing :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
well Ahero is my rom of choice and version 0.4 was perfect apart from battery drain. sometimes if it aint broke dont fix it? can't you just add battery fix to current kernel and release 0.5? you save new kernel for future release or post battery fix so we can apply to current build ourselves. i want to use Ahero but battery sucked like a crack who' with no front teeth! LOL

either way any updates would be welcome as long as battery holds up as it should
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
i'm trying to fix the 3gp videos issue .. I hope I can find a fix ASAP :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simondadiamond:
Flac does not seem to work. It was not in the music library so i tried to open it via astro, and I get a "sorry media player does not support this type of file"

Other than that, the build seems very nice, keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
max man stop messing:D:D:D:D. nothing wrong with previous kernel as only battery consumption was problem. eagerly awaiting Ahero update as i hate sense! LOL :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
please also add pc sync options to this rom's next version ))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
keeping the Ahero thread up there as release is imminent.........LOL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Latoc:
Dude, with all due respect, battery problem is because of the kernel...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
to be honest mate that post was useless and really pointless. anyway Ahero is in the works so just keeping thread alive till that is released. not here to get smart nose comments from anyone!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
OK, new kernel seems great and use less battery for sure !!

will test it for 4 hours maximum then I can release :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MANDRAKEREDHAT:
It's working fine for me

thanks for arabic support ,great job

Googleearth not working,

BTW how could I know if AP2SD working or not ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nightfever:
Fantastic Rom, like it most because there is no Sense..

I have an issue on the camera: preview is ok, but taken photos are corrupt (black and thumbnails can't be loaded) I tested with 5M and 3M.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
stop teasing its been 4 hrs.........:D has the show image bug been fixed? its in all the eris dumps. worked fine on 0.4. getting (?) where pic should be in email...........fine on sensehero and ahero but not on herodroid, villain 3.3 or defiance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Poulpix:
I have the first boot animation since like 20 minutes... I updated radio with exactly the same version I see in the screenshot in first page, then reboot, wipe data factory reset, and flash.

Should I wait a bit more or flash to my old sense ROM ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
need to wipe everything mate............ dalvik cache and ext partitions. thats where conflicts arise from previous. wipe ur ext partitions and dalvik cache and reflash. just flashed again before no issues at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Poulpix:
Thanks, I try it right now. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
ahero 0.5

hope we have some new icons at the top as the others are so cupcake and donut. drib drab.......... see on tweeter battery life has improved so i am very excited now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vassie79:
Hello

Is it possible you can create a version of this without any 3rd party applications? ie Facebook, etc

I am looking for a 2.1 ROM that has a fully working camera (5mp) and as vanilla as possible

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NoXXX:
can't wait for the new version :p

when will it be available to us? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
just fixed the last bug I faced after a "whole day testing".. will release in minutes, ( 1 hour max, depending on Upload speed :o )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
after all the delays and testing if this rom lives up to what i expect you will getting 2 cofees off me right after flash! been waiting for this for a long time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NoXXX:
Ho-ho-ho-ho ... you're my Santa in the march :)

btw, why not use torrent-based distribution? it is more efficient that 4shared etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] apesgrapes:
really looking forward to this one :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I get a 'Froce Close' on the Phone application every 30 seconds or so. Also once the phone went to sleep I can't seem to wake it up again - although the USB is still working so it's obviously all still running...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
maybe start again mate. i used this rom for 2 days solid and had no issues like that! phone app is solid on this and had no sleep issues. battery was only real niggle wid this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Yeah - Nandroid restore for now and I'll give it another go tomorrow. I do like the idea of having 'vanilla' 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
well chef is about to release new update 0.5 real soon so hang on and try that one instead!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
thanks chef........ already flashing! 62mb so very light i see. hope thats a good thing! will use now and if ok i will buy you a euro coffee - 10 actually!

edit: no bootsplash? oh well not really a bother. initial setup very quick dude. its flying. like new keyboard. very nippy so far. will be off now to play. initial reaction - seems very good
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
well i am happy so far:

like new keyboard, almost clear launcher...... buggy launcher 2 added as i like it. cant post on battery obviously but flashed at 10pm with 80% on
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Flashed without problem, now working fine with wifi :o)

Thanks for the work done so far. Great job ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simondadiamond:
Lookin goood!!! Im trying to install extra-4-hero.zip but i get a "

E:Failure at line 1:

copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:" error

maybe its not supposed to be an update? it wasn't too clear... no matter the apk's are inside the zip so i can easily install....

Can someone clarify if it's an update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
well may be a bug but just had a dead sleep. went to standby and wouldnt wake up. had to pull battery. all i have installed is linda file manager, beeb player and twidroid. retro clock and date widgets also facebook, music and power. will see if happens again but i am worried
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simondadiamond:
You seem to be watching this forum like a hawk shingers5,

have you installed the extras package ? is it a "update.zip" style installer ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
i havent installed that package but from the name it was for last release 0.4 so need to ask chef if compatible with new release as different kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simondadiamond:
Makes a lot of sense... thanks :)

have you tried mounting the sd card ? doesent seem to work for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
mine not working either so thats a bug. i guess things like that we expect to work dont we? LOL............... guess chef will have to fix that. cant mount sdcard........offers option but when click mount nothing happens. i have installed launcher 2 as i like that Nexus launcher
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quickshooter:
Very good Rom, thank you!

One question - how can I disable the launcher that comes with it? Because it is very laggy and I think default Android one is better.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simondadiamond:
I still have original launcher so thats not the cause!

Also, with live wallpaper, I can't seem to close screen.... not sure if thats a known issue though, as its the first time i play with live wallpapers, they are quite sweet lookin :D

nm... i think it might be a spare parts bug actually....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
I'll look into these bugs today..

I'll make a "patch file" too..

but be patient please, I'm very busy today :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kroy:
wifi Not working:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NoXXX:
Wifi works just fine for me with no problems. Try wipe/reflash.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Same here. Just tried this morning to copy some additional stuff.

Got the "Mount" button, but nothing happens afterwards.

Not to forget the positive sides: Still, the best ROM ever ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
It happened with me with 0.4. WiFi was not working or restarting the phone continously. With 0.5 it's working great.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
Can you also put option for PC sync ? like other roms?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Died while charging

Found another issues:

- While charging - from computer - it goes to black screen, and is not coming back anymore. PC realizes as you disconnect, but the phone itself does not response. It did not happen earlier, but lately (above ~70%) it happened twice. Now I'll see whether it is the case without charging.

- Overclock widget is not working. FC-ing after ~10 secs.

Keep up :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] overdoze:
Everything is working for me. :)

Except that some Live Wallpapers close itself after i locked my screen.

Nice ROM :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
And the same - staying dark - happened without charging. The LED was blinking (however strange, green - yellow) and never came back...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Just downloaded - about to flash. Just out of interest, what's the calendar widget in the first screenshot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Smooth Calendar widget
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Poulpix:
Works properly, very nice rom.

I can not mount my SD card though...

I select "Mount" on the phone, but my windows keep telling me there is no card in the device.

I tried to unplug/replug, no result
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Thanks for that!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I also don't seem to be able to mount my SD card... The phone keeps telling me I'm connected but windows never sees it. It seems that the actual mount is failing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
I'll release a patch to fix SD Mount and Network location..

sorry guys, but this is what happens when you change to another kernel :o

This ROM specially will get improvements until it ROCKS 100% ;)

but be patient please :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
Same here can't mount card..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Fair enough :-)

BTW - is a wipe required when simply upgrading from one version of this ROM to another?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
Yes. maybe sometimes it pass..

but this version, Wipe is Essential..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
hey max i am wid you 100% man as this is for now the only Vanilla option being maintained. i had that dead screen once but nothing since. i see its happened to 2 others from reading posts from last night. that has me more worried than mount sdcard issue. if that happens while waiting for important call it could be disasterous. please investigate this

edit: name for rom - Senseless Hero!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
Dear Max please fix this mounting sdcard problem )) I really like this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
pretty good work this rom boss. once all the little niggles are ironed out it be a keeper!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] markatmgpc:
Only gripes for me -

Bluetooth pairs in car, will answer call, but no sound. Anyone know the bits needed to get this working?

Also can't mount SD card, bit of a biggie.

MG
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Great ;) The only question is, how I am going to copy the patch to the microSD, as I cannot mount my phone and my laptop can only read normal SD :rolleyes:

No worries, I will manage it via internet, just funny ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
usb card holder mate............i never mount sd card via usb for file transfer as usual corruption when umounted and sdcard is being prepared by phone. i take card out and pop into usb card holder and copy across that. much quicker as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ismaskin:
You can turn on usb in recovery mode :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
I like that rom! Only problem: proxy sensor have to remain installed, otherwise death screen at the first screen out!...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Well, yes. If I were at home, I would do it. But I am 800km-s away, without the reader (anyhow, my laptop can read SD but not microSD, and the converter is at home as well :D), but I can manage, just found it funny....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
That's really a good idea. I'll give a try...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
uploading the patch..

GOD! this internet connection is so sloooooow :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
ahh so thats why its done that........... nice post

edit: max put proxy sensor back in as apparently stops that dead screen at 1st sleep. please
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bryanchapman9999:
I used this

MountUSB
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
check the first post guys..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
installed patch but now wont boot! stuck on hero screen now 10 mins. damn and 0.51 is still uploading on mutiupload.

edit: i am now wiping and flashing again with patch from scratch! GRRRRRRRR
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Same here. So I'll wait for your update whether it should run after wipe.... :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZED_pt:
phone restarted after 5 pictures...v 0.5.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
wiped and refalshed with patch applied ans not booting at all. :mad:

waiting for 0.51 to finish uploading to try that............. live earth wallpaper killed 0.5! LOL

downloading 0.51 from rapidshare link of multiupload as only one done uploading
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Just wanted to post the same :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sardanadixit:
Hi Maxxo I installed the patched version and after the installation (did all wipes except the dalvik one as I am not using any ext partition) and got only 133 MB free in Settings >> SD Card and Phone Storage. Did installation again, but getting the same amount of space free. Also some of the default Live Wallpapers do not work. Anything I did wrong? I am also getting the Launcher 2 while in the 1st post you have mentioned that it was removed. ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rgbc:
Phone isn't booting for me either after flashing .51 patch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
This starts to be strange. Installing 0.51.

After copying files:

"

E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/nc

E:Failure at line 156: sylink busybox System:xbin/nc installation aborted

"

:eek:

Whatever this might mean...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kieranc:
I just got the same. Tried installing 0.51 over 0.4 to no avail so I wiped everything and got the above error.

Any ideas?

dalvik cache is nothing to do with an ext partition as far as I'm aware... an ext partition is for app2sd, the dalvik cache seems to keep copies of your installed apps in it. You need to wipe it whether you have an ext partition or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Go for 0.5. This is what I am doing now as well. ;) As I learned in the past days, we will get a 0.5.2 soon :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
yep going back to 0.5 till this is sorted as 0.51 isnt booting after wipe and fresh flash. stuck at hero image. nothing wrong with 0.5 apart than mount sdcard thing. not sure whats up with that!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
I get the same error as above :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serarra:
I do have the same problem.

I just wiped the phone and loaded the last radio.

Replaced the mem card for a new one and trying again.

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

No luck, still the same.

Can somebody send me a link to the 0.5 version please? I do have the 0.4 and this one. Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
phew 0.5 booted and for a min there i was worried.....:D remembered that it has no bootsplash so cool. setting it up now as we speak
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
0.51 wont boot mate............ try 0.5 till chef fixes this issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serarra:
Could you please send me a link to 0.5?

I only have 0.4 and the new 0.51

i did not have the chance to download 0.5.

Thanks in advance.

br,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
0.5 all up and running ......... set up rather nicely. that launcher 2 from Nexus one is worse than buggy but i like it. freezes ma home screen but still can use trackball to navigate and launch apps. just adds a bit of niche to the vanilla exp
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
HeroPro : Speed, Sync & Wifi Tether apps

Ultimate Patch : with useful 3party apps other then those above.

hehe...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serarra:
Thanks a lot, downloded now and installed.

Hero screen for about 1 min, will see if it works...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
ya it works............ hero screen for a few minutes then goes blank as no boot splash but it boots. keys will light up and you will see it spring to life
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
had to give up on this rom all together. kept not waking up from sleep. some major issues there wid that new kernel. went into standby and died, rebooted, replied to a sms then back to standy and died again. shame really :mad:

back to sensehero and 1.5 for now............... dont like sense but no choice. email pictures dont display in 2.1 sense roms so no point using them. ahh not happy. was really excited about this release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
same here!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Also having problems with it not waking up from sleep :(

Still, hopeful about future releases!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
That's too bad. For now it is coming back for me, but I do not know the reason yet. I just don't want to go back to 1.5 :cool:

I thought the pictureless 2.1 Sense was my fault :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
just dont understand it. flashed the rom, set up as i wish, downloaded few apps like beeb player and astro then put down to work. checked when sms rec'd and woke up fine.............. fine for next 3-5 wakes then boom dead after replying to sms. took battery out and rebooted fine ........sleep and dead again. rebooted again and same thing. dont like 1.5 and dont like sense but sensehero looks like 2.1 with cupcake base. not let me down yet. think new kernel max used for this rom isnt as stable as he thought!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zcmander:
aHero 0.5 is not ready for production

Just few notes that I made (maybe said before):

Market doesn't have background (top part is white, and on left there is bit of right background)

Live backgrounds doesn't work, I mean, I used NexusMod livewallpaper from market, and it works a while, and then background changes back to solid (that i had before, strange)

Holy god, IT'S SLOW, even slower that 1.5 with Sense

Random crashes (once in market while installing software)

Flashes just right, wiped data and delvik-cache.

EDIT:

After taking picture of Market: It seems that SD-mounting doesn't work. I also tried MountUSB, but it did nothing. After crashing (while connecting to USB) I saved to draft to my gmail account.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
didnt have market prob you mentioned there. its slow to begin with but like all these roms once settled in its on par with everything else. live wallpapers totally killed mine. it froze and wouldnt do anything till i pulled battery. live wallpapers are an issue on all the roms TBH. kept falling asleep and not waking up for me + 2 others i can see posted. real damn shame as i really really was looking 4ward to this release.

totally agree that it should not have been released and 0.51 wont even boot. from tweeter it seems max has been busy with uni so it must be hard!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sardanadixit:
Could you let me know how to wipe the dalvik, I tried from recovery ROM and got the error which said to try from adb using command "wipe dalvik" and when I tried it using adb, got the error that "no ext partition" and it quit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Might be I am not demanding enough, but:

That's right, however does not affect functionality, I don't mind.

I tried 1 live wallpaper, but it slowed down my Hero and crashed afterwards. So set back my favorite still picture ;)

I don't feel this. However I didn't have long experience with 1.5. Changed it as I got it :D

I don't have random crashes. However used for 1 day. The blackouts I had in the morning, but not since the re-flash in the afternoon. Anyway, I keep using it, as these problems are acceptable for me.

I did not write this against you. Just I am amazed what these guys are doing for us, for fun, for free (even if we pay some coffees :D)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Carjigo:
hello, excuse my English, jejeje, estoi trying to install the 0.5.1, but I get error in line 156, I've tried doing wipe with ext 4, ext 2, ext 3, not wipe, but nothing any ideas?

thank you for this wonderful rom

greetings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
0.51 doesnt flash as we have all tried. you need to flash 0.5 as thats only build that works right. chef will no doubt fix whatever the errors are but for now it is what it is
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I'm really looking forward to this ROM maturing and these bugs being ironed out. I've had to go back to sense UI on 1.5 for now, because it's not every day usable, but it has given me a glimpse of how good this ROM might be.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
pretty sure wen max gets the time he will sort out the bugs and get us a working version of this rom. i think should have used prev kernel and killed that dmagent bug to improve battery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blueflash:
waiting for 5.2 :) using ahero4 mostly tried most the eris roms but not my cup tea and seem drain battery.
