live wallpaper functionality wont be installed so definitely wont work

Apparently google earth is not an OpenGl problem but a processor problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
no wifi here either, hopefully its fixed soon i realy dont want to use 3g as its cost a fortune :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
Can confirm WiFi doesnt work. Using APN connection and thats fine.

Love the new calendar widget "Agenda" and also the HTC Calendar. Very fast as some people have commented on...

Also not sure, but on 1.5 you couldnt swipe between widget selection. in this you can. Nice little feature.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crytic:
Camera working @5MP, bluetooth working, 3G and Calling working!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
so far this works pretty well...

flickr integration seems to be gone

i did a wipe, flash, two wipes, flash, and a final wipe and flash to be sure.

Its very fast compared to 1.5 stock.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kolaf:
Somewhat redundant, but WiFi and 3G thing is problematic here as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberon:
Is Wifi working? :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
Can confirm market WORKS
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phiit:
No problems with Market here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Google Earth is more than likely not going to work so I wouldn't blame you if you saved your 3g and stopped the download.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] giorgit28:
Hmm

WiFi is not working...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lennie330:
Google earth not working, sms, call, bt, gps market etc is working...

Hello,

Some few days ago I installed HeroDroid 0.4 (it works fine) but I didn't know where can I activate thetering.

Can somebody help me?

[ROM][Sense 2.1] HeroDroid v0.5 - A2SD??

does it make a difference if i am using ext2 3 or 4?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
Apps2SD in ROM doesn't support EXT4. but you can use EXT3 or 2.

EXT3 is recommended..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ShiDi:
Apps from market takes forever to download... hmmm
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
Been using this ROM for a few days, it's really stable and everything I need works properly, the only issue is the non-working volume control when the screen is off.

When listening to music with the phone in my pocket, I'm unable to lower/raise the volume without taking Hero out of my pocket and unlocking the screen. A little annoying, especially when my hands are full and some rock song is tearing my eardrums apart :)

Any chance for a fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carval2k:
EXCELLENT!!!

Thanks for you effort MaXo64!!!!

This is the best and stable ROM I've tried...

It's the first one without any kind of force closes or strange behaviors!

I guess the only issue is the battery draining to fast... about one day...

Thanks again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arj03:
I'm coming from aHEro 0.8. I did as described in the first post. Then installed the rom, but on first login it crashes in settings and nothing happens. I get a black screen. I then tried formatting the SD card and wiping everything and the exact same thing happened.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaizenMobile:
Thank you for this ROM.

Fastest and most stable 2.1+Sense ROM I ever had. ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pheres:
Change APN list

My first 2.1 ROM (actually my first rom at all :P) and it is being a great experience. Great Job!

Quite stable so far :)

I've been having a recurring problem: I was trying to change the APN data and each time I go to the APN list it FC.

"The application Settings(process com.android.settintgs) has stopped unexpectedly"

Any solution to this? I need to change the apn settings to configure the MMS in my operator.

About the FC at the first boot I think I can help. Remove the SIM on first boot. After configuring for the first time it's safe to boot with the SIM card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LSDias:
Excellent.

Had the Herodroid 0.4 and 0.5 is also is good.

However I can not send or receive MMS.

I hope to leave soon 0.6 with 3D gallery ... =)

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asp525:
The ROM comes from a CDMA phone (which means the original phone would not have a sim card - therefore no way to change the settings for MMS etc)

Google an application called MMSZap, its designed for these 2.1 ROMS to sort that out - its not on the market

If that fails - restore your original ROM with Nandroid, download APN backup/Restore from the market, backup your APN settings, reflash this ROM, run APN, restore settings then run MMSZap again

Worked for me ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
does this rom have JIT enabled ? Anyone tried playing zenonia using multi touch feature ? Is the game lagging witht he sounmd on ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bertol:
Just plugin my hero to report a bug via logcat, but not necessary finally.

I couldn't login twitter with wifi (trying several times), but login ok in 3G connection at first.

However, better 2.1 ROM, no doubt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
This is not a cdma Rom this is a legend based Rom and the HTC Legend is a gsm phone.v0.5 v.04 is a cdma Rom because its a Eris based Rom which is a cdma phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaizenMobile:
Camera autofocus doesn't work properly

Hello,

Thank you for this great ROM (fastest/most stable I've seen yet).

I have trouble with the camera autofocus. I'm not able to use Barcode Scanner or ShopSavy with whith ROM as it never focuses well on close objetcs (like barcodes et qr code).

I've read similar comments on other ROMs' topics but haven't found any info regarding this issue here.

Are you guys able to use Barcode Scanner on your Heros ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] etoD:
Been using HeroDroid for a few versions now and just want to say that it's been working great for me, and the latest version is an improvement again.

Today I managed to get Debian running over it, and for anybody interested, instructions/walkthrough/somewhere-in-between on my blog.

Tried to post a link just then, but I'm a new user, so I can't... so, see the link in my profile (..below?). :P

Cheers

Mark
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyC:
Same problem here. I am not able to use Barcode Scanner, it will not focus on at all, not far and not near. :(

Also, I'm in roaming right now with my HeroDroid0.5 and I have MASSIVE problems. When i lose signal with a network it asks me to choose from one of the available network (I can choose any of them). But in 80% of cases, when I choose a network, it tells me that 'Your SIM does not allow connecting to this network'.

Note: I am allowed to use any of the 4 networks here (Germany) and I have used all of them at some point so this is not the problem. Sometimes (very often) it will not connect to any of the 4 networks, and I have to reboot the phone to register with a network. This is very frustrating. When I need to make a call, i have to reboot the phone and wait 3 minutes until it has booted, registered with a network and is responsive.

PS: Auto brightness still does not work and since v0.5 there is no Voice Search or Voice Dialing (I don't use them though so no big loss for me)

So these are my observations for v0.5.

Other than that... very fast, very stable as usual and still my winning candidate in the race for the first stable android 2.1 ROM for HTC Hero.

So MaXo, please don't give up development on this ROM, it has potential!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maboss77:
Hello,

Thank-you for this ROM :-)

One problem for me : auto brightness don't work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rizi800:
I think it is a good rom,thankyou
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyC:
No Navigation

I just noticed that 'Navigation' is also gone. The eris port (v0.4) had navigation. The Legend port (v0.5) doesn't have Navigation. Navigation is only available on Legend in the US and UK. Maybe we could find a ROM from there? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaizenMobile:
Navigation isn't enabled where I live, but I can access the feature on the 0.5 using an up-to-date Google Map.

Add a shortcut to Direction & Navigation. It will ask you for the destination address and then start Navigation. ;-)

Does it work on your side ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] forcex10:
kicking my battery's ass

really like this rom but its doing a number on my battery :(

from full to 70% with minimal use in a hour. :confused: and its HOT buring up.

so i'll be wiping it -_-
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Porsche.V:
I'm having the same problems. i did:

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe Dalvik-cache

Wipe battery stats

Wipe rotate settings

i just didn'd do "Wipe SD:ext partition" cause i don't have one..

tried several times and always happens the same thing.. any idea how to solve this?

thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
It would be nice if there is a bootsound. Btw This rom is nice but it is lacking of something which is that it would be better if it were to have a bit better opengl. I lag when playing speedx3d this means that it is much worser than stock rom. However, this rom runs well on menu. Thanks for such a great rom Maxo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
Maxo. I founded out that the v0.4 of this rom is much more responsive than the v0.5.

I think there is more improvement that could be made as speed at the 0.4 rom is impressive. I like your rom . thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] UnderGod:
Thanks for this great rom!

Bought a hero secondhand and it was laggy, installed your rom and now it's flying, it's brilliant ^^

AND the wife is happy to get an iPhone 2G now, life's beautifull :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
I have a bug to report. I don;t know how to use the adb logcat..Sorry for that.

The bug is that when playing some application in landscape mode. the image tends to be duplicated. But the games works fine in potrait mode. Hope that this bug would be fixed.

Facebook Syncs only 100 contacts..

Hi there MaXo64

First of all I want to thank u on this ROM. It is fast and very responsive... great.. I like it... And I will stick with it until the official release of 2.1 for Hero...

by the way, I want to tell u, so if u can fix this, it will be great: Facbook synchronizes only 100 contacts. It is no big deal, but it would be nice to have all my facebook contacts.. If I have any other issues, I will let u know...

Peace

Hamo

Hi Loike the look of this rom BUT would like to know if it's rootedand if apps2sd is working etc??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eng_ziad:
Hello MaXo64 ,

been using this ROM for 4 days now , everything is working fine , it's fast but not the fastest out there , but it's stable , to random reboots ,

i faced FC for HTC.Luncher process almost once a day , but it always starts again.

i expect that the real 2.1 update will be so much like this one here , great work MaXo64
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
This ROM is rooted and apps2sd is automatic... all your apps will be on Ext partition...

Peace
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juhasz.jozsef:
Best ROM I've ever tried

Thank you very much for the ROM, just what I was looking for.

SenseUI without extra app -> speed and stability are incredible.

Onyl found one bug, will post you a logcat soon.

After rotating the screen in some application, which works stable and fast, the home screen icons/widgets looks screwed up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juhasz.jozsef:
Android 2.2 ?

Should we expect the new android 2.2 in your release?

There are some roumors about the increased speed, and enabled JIT.

I've heard about the difficulties with JIT and SenseUI.

Keep up the good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petervb:
No data connection

The ROM looks great but I'm not able to save my settings for the data connection due to some error.

First: After installing the ROM on first boot, I get a Force Close on Settings. From then my screen remains black, after reboot I had the same thing. When I go into airplane-mode and I reboot I will get into the htc wizard. When I arrive at configuring gmail-account. I press menu-button en click on set network configuration. There I can click on Acces Point Names (APNs) and it complained about locked sim (due to airplane mode) so I switched to regular mode and go back in list wit Acces Point Names. This list is still empty! But I just added APN with configuration of my provider but when I save i get an FC. and from then on I get an FC everytime I want to open the APNs list. As I understand it, there is a null pointer exception because no APN is in the list. But I can't add one :(

My Logcat is in attachment. Help is appreciated!

For the moment I've changed back to a ROM with 1.5. But I wanna trie to get 2.1 working.

edit: I also tried MmsZap but that didn work either, it doesn't let you set APN only mms-settings. And APN Backup doesn't give the list either.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
-Behnaam's .29 kernel.

I've noticed the stock 2.1 Kernel which came with the official 2.1 build isn't used in many custom ROMs. Any particular reasons (other than for overclocking)? Won't batter life be better with the official kernel that came with the Taiwan ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
No, Behnaam's kernel is built from source. and customized for more efficiency even without overclocking. an will not use more power from battery.

by default the kernel will not go beyond 518 MHz. it only allow overclocking if you want it. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Cool, thanks for the clarification! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dca35311:
App2SD does not work!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
Official 2.1 with Overclocking kernal

What else could I need?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] merlin699:
good to hear that you made the 0.6 with the official 2.1 update.

I assume the language is chinese/english only?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
there are some other. Deutsch, Spanish, Netherlands..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
It still uses the HTC_CIME.apk though :P

And it could use a big list of APNs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
So yeah there could be a final update here to clean the ROM a bit:

-On the widget screen there are still 3 leftover chinese widgets

-No European APNs

-HTC Keyboard is still the Chinese input one... Which could be replaced as well I guess.

Other than that everything seems to be in order for now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
Another problem:

In Advanced Wifi Settings, cannot select channels 13 and 14
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] merlin699:
yes, they are selectable but only the keyboard is changed and the keyboard has the wrong mapping (english layout on german kb).

for facebook sync I'm not able to enter the username.

looks like the common things through the new 2.1 roms.

looks like I have to wait for the EU version, thanks for your effort anyway!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dsciel:
does anyone using T-mobile US with this rom? after flash this rom, i am unable to go online...the VPN setting is different with before, any way to solve?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
Google your VPN details for your network and insert the VPN settings manually

I had to do the same with mine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
what about the overclocking tables? is it possible to set it at 176mhz when sleeping, and 691mhz when in use (as it is possible with the last VanillaEclair) ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juno360:
hero

So I switched from aHero to HeroDroid. I have to say Maxo you are doing something very right.

This is the fastest of the new sense 2.1 roms and pretty much as fast as aHero, not sure whether its the kernel or optimizations but keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Swerner1975:
I tried the new Version...

My experiences:

- The GPS Bug is always present... (only GPS after Restart and GPS Switched on)

- Can't send/receive MMS ...

- App2SD does'nt work

Try it now with full wipe...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juno360:
gps + speed

I initially had problems with GPS but after flashing the new radio, everything works smoothly.

I also removed fieldtest, dscht, *Tts*, mail, most of the widgets, set up wizard, footprints etc and then optimised the core apps and frameworks. The speed has improved quite a lot. May remove rosie in the future as I'm using launcher pro
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
this ROM is amazing

with normal use of WiFi, talks, messaging and chatting for 2 days 9 hours and 44 minutes my battery is on 7%...

now I can travel with no fear that my phone will die when most need it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raz-or:
Hi,

which radio are you using, Im on the same rom and unfortunately do not have the same battery life but think it may be due to the latest radio version...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
I am using the latest Radio ... 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
recent results showing this ROM has some good benchmark results...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
I just deodexed the framework and the apps .. in other words, this ROM will get better and better :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the guitarist:
hi there maxo,

i just wanted you to know .. HTC released a Rom For the Legend which support arabic .. NATIVE ARABIC SUPPORT ON SENSE UI AND ANDROID 2.1 .. Is there anyway that you can port that rom to hero or at least take the arabic support files and libraries and create a new rom .. maybe a rom based on Villain Rom 10.3 << as it's based on the latest official update (not the taiwan update) and it had friends stream and all the goodies .. let me know .. and i hope everything went well with your KFUPM exams ;)

waleed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
yeah i'm working on that.

I don't want to totally port it because the Legend ROM is too big for the Hero..

but I'm almost done with integrating the libs with the official 2.1 Hero for Taiwan :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
when is the next one being release... any ETA??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the guitarist:
i really hope you base it on Villain rom 10.3 because it has friends stream and other things missing from the official update :P ... please ?! :P .. you know we have been waiting toooo long for this :P ... we al far7ah 7atkoon na89ah men '3air al friends stream ya basha .. the official facebook up just won't cut it :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
Just having the the Arabic support + sence ui is enough for me .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
can JIT be applied to this?

another version coming out?

linpack results for this one??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itongz:
i can't see GPS icon on notification bar when GPS active.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bankbh:
Do anyone know if there is Danish language and danish dictonary on this ROM??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
Can't wait for the next release ( after all my tries to port the Legend rom failed ) . Anyway when will we get it ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itongz:
ok ... i can found it ... thx ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
new version out!!

anyone else tried it yet??

can we use the NEW radio with this one?

maxo - try updating your first post because you said you wouldnt add live wallpapers and stuff but you now have! hehe, it would be less confusing for new flashers :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
lets say Desire have Live wallpapers with Sense :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
Oh , so did you get the Arabic support from the legend ?

I'm flashing right now !

Edit : back to aHero .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
ooooh nice, downloading now.

Hey, where can I download the grassy background shown in the screenshots? I'd love to have that bg if I ever need to change roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
it's a live wallpaper. it comes with the ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
ooh thanks, that's pretty neat!

Also, can anybody compare this to VillainROM 10? Is it any better? (speed, stability, functionality, etc).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
can JIT be used?? better than chocolate/crono's??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mardurhack:
Ahuahuahu! XD Great ;) Vanilla stuff is not so bad at the end... :P By the way can someone explain me WHY Sense roms are WAY faster than Vanilla?? I mean I tried all the latest Vanillas like EzHero, Androbin and VanillaEclair (up today) and when you try to type something in a web site keyboard lags! And the settings menu lags too when you scroll it...How can it be possible??? O_o None of this happens when I have a Sense rom up and running...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Moonshield:
Radio question

Hey MaXo64

Thanks for this rom, it looks great. Say, do I need to downgrade my radio version if I have the latest one (63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01)?

Do you have a frameware fix for the LTR numbers issue when writing in Arabic (Or any other RTL language for that matter)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
this ROM supports Arabic:

Thnx, I dont need the Arabic support, just the LTR support for the numbers when writing in RTL...

And do you have answer for the radio version?

Thanks again :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Swerner1975:
Why downgrade? If it works with this Radio, then there are no need to downgrade... ;)

I have upgraded today the Radio at this new version (63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01). Looks good...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Moonshield:
Coz it says in the first post:

Welp, if it worked for you, I guess there is no reason it won't work for me.

Thanx :D
