Actually it's not, just dark grey (noticed it seems like washed-out black). Load a 2.1 rom and it's totally black.

An easy way to see is the bottom of the top clock bar gradient - it's much darker than the background for lists such as settings menu. I found it much more attractive as being pure black in 2.1 roms rather than washed out dark grey. :rolleyes:

i thought I'd give this rom a quick try.. WOW I think I'm going to have to abandon 2.1 again..

Sorry if its a noobish question but how do you go about adjusting the OC?

I installed this rom and will remain with it, everything is working! Just a curiosity, I installed the overclocked version, but when I control with setcpu, it says the system works at 528 Mhz max. Shouldn't it say 710 Mhz?

trouble with data connection

First of all i'm loving the 1.6 Kimera rom, (almost) everything works!!

Just one tiny problem, Data Connection turns on by itself at random intervals!? This can be very expensive with my current dataplan.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aze2:
problem with MinFreeManager, no SU? normal?

this ROM isn't Rooted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gamegod0:
I first tried VillainROM 5.3 a few days ago and was a little disappointed by the bugginess of it and the slowness (it's slower than the stock 1.5 HTC rom). It's based on a leaked HTC 2.1 ROM, which means it's not finished... the apps are buggy etc, so I feel like an idiot for thinking there wouldn't be tons of rough edges.

So tonight I tried installing Kimera 1.6 - Wow, this is awesome! Forget 2.1 ROMs, Kimera is blazing fast compared to both 2.1 and the stock 1.5 ROM. I'm not even using the overclocked version of the ROM!

Since it's based on HTC's 1.5 ROM, it means all the apps are as stable as bug free as you'd expect in a production build from a major phone manufacturer. I think leaving most of the user-facing software intact and mostly just modifying the kernel for speed is a great approach (as taken in Kimera). Bravo!

Awesome stuff, I'm looking forward to using my phone a whole lot more now. This is how the stock HTC rom should have been!

P.S. I'm using a Telus HERO130 if anyone's curious... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Did you set APN?

Yes with two screenshots i can recognize it

I'll see what can i do

OC is fixed to 710mhz you can't change frequency

With any app uninstaller or by going Settings->applications->Manage Apps

No it shouldn't, it's a bug of the kernel, you can't adjust frequency even

Settings->Wireless Controls->Mobile Network Settings

Disable Enable always-on mobile...

And set Data roaming to never

Root is working, i tested it with wifi tether

Try it with another app, if still doesn't work0 wipe all and reflash rom, else use autokiler instead minfree manager
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
I started having this problem when I switched to Eclair ROM (Villain 5.4), it never happened on Kimera 1.5.

Data connection randomly turns on for short periods of time even if widget on the homescreen is set to off.

Still haven't found the root cause of this :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Another possible solution for both of you: try reflashing radio
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carlhoerberg:
Keyboard layouts

The only thing that can make this ROM better is more locales. The problem with MoreLocale2 is that the whole Sense UI must be restarted to change keyboard layout which is kind of annoying, with more integrated locales it's a 2 button procedure.

Re: [ROM][CUPCAKE 1.5][28/04/2010] Kimera 1.6 - Feat. Overclock, Extremely fast!

FYI I've already read the intro to Kimera (but not the whole thread). I had a few questions:

-does it support Bluetooth file transfer too, or just Bluetooth headset support?

-VoiceSearch is a feature not present in stock 1.5 ROMs; since that is supported in Kimera, does it also have other newer apps such as Gmail w/ multiple accounts, Maps w/ multi-touch + Labs (other cool stuff)?

Hey i need your help,

just flashed your overlocked rom + suggested radio...but if i start my phone, there comes "G2 Touch -T-Mobile-", as normal, then it reboot 3 times, alway s until "G Touch -T-Mobile-", and then it stops...DAMN?

How can i (re)flash your rom or maybe the "normal" rom?

If I start my phone with pressing the "home"-button, there comes "G2 Touch -T-Mobile-" and then a warning triangle with an "!" in it and a phone in front of it xD

Please help meeee...anybody...

I always flashed roms via "cmd" --> "adb shell reboot bootloader" and "fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img" and so on...

-.- this sucks, your roms sounds really nice...

HELLLPP? :P

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
That triangle was caused by a bad flash of radio i guess

Did you reflash radio? If you have paul's (modaco) unlocked spl you can reflash it via fastboot by turning on the phone keeping pressed back button and then with this command

fastboot flash radio C:\path\of\radio\radio.img

Radio.img is contained in radio's update zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ibanez33:
Can JIT be enable on this rom too?

Just to elaborate I'm not requesting it as a feature but asking if I go through the process of enabling it will it work with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JonasBom:
dsadas

Mhm, how can i reflash the radio? You mean put it on the sdcard and then "Home-while start"-button menu?

If i enter the fastboot i can only choose:

"HBoot Mode"

and

"Reset Devise"

Sry i dont really get this with "paul's (modaco) unlocked spl"

I cannot connect the device with my computer, i think...how can i type

fastboot flash radio C:\path\of\radio\radio.img

?

Greetz

Jonas

P.S. I will buy me a cardreader now ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Nope, jit is 2.1 only

You have 2 options

1. (If you can) Flash it normally in recovery

2. Flash this http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/296389/24-nov-unlocked-spl-for-gsm-hero/

Then run phone in fastboot and connect it to pc, then with fastboot pc app (is contained in android sdk) write this command

fastboot flash radio C:\path\of\radio\radio.img

Obviously you have to replace this "C:\path\of\radio\radio.img" with the path of radio.img

Mhm...

First of all, i buyed a CardReader and formatted my SDcard via PC. Then i downloaded "Hero SPL" from modaco (it was only 204 kb) and renamed it into "update.zip".

Then pressed home button and start my hero and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip",

but

all i get is:

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:No signature (5files)

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted.

If i now enter the fastboot mode, i can only choose:

HBoot Mode

Reset Device

If i connect it to the PC i get this "Dede"-sound^^, so he registered any device, but no window pops up or anything. On my phone is then the red line "FASTBOOT" turned into "FASTBOOT USB".

If i now run the (i hope its the right one) "fastboot.exe" from "androidSDK/tools" a black window pops up, but close after a half second, so iam not able to write anything...

Before that, i tried flash different roms but allways:

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:No signature (696files)

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted.

Any idea?...mhm...

I'm using Overclock Widget and apparently the clock is being reported at a max of 528 - I use this because its pretty good at saving battery by significantly underclocking the CPU when the screen is off.

Is this widget slowing down the CPU? It might be fooled as the overclock is a kernel thing? Perhaps there is a way to look at the CPU speed using a very accurate app?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
If you read the FAQs if your phone does not boot or boot loops or in anyway doesnt not take you to your homescreen or is it does and acts weird your Hero is incompatible with the OC version of this ROM if you still want to use it wipe and flash the non OC version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
As far as my knowledge serves the OC widget only makes your CPU run at the speed it is supposed to so I doubt that it would read the overclocked speed since the program is not doing the overclocking. However I could be COMPLETELY wrong but I have noticed that the OC version of this ROM is extremely fast especially when you use autokiller or minfreemanager so it is definately overclocked and I doubt maxisma or Exit would lie about overclocking a kernel/using the kernel in a ROM
