Hi people,

Really happy with this ROM after trying several 2.1 ROMs that were incredibly slow / buggy, or in which a lot of apps and functions would not work (so far).. No force closes either.. Now I have only one issue with which I hope to be helped, and I have to admit I am kind of a noob on the field, it's Apps2SD

- running RA-Hero-V-1.6.2 as a recovery ROM, used that to partition my MicroSD card; it is set on 32 MB SWAP / 512 MB EXT2 and the rest (1.4GB) as FAT32...

- it mentions everywhere that the Apps2SD is baked into the ROM, if so, how do I access it?

- been trying so far with downloaded Apps2SD from market and downloaded apk's, these mostly feel buggy and either crash / loop my hero (and all the comments online say that it is outdated and usually baked in the ROM).

- so what i am not doing / not seeing right?

Compliments to a great ROM, thanks for the help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkazakov13:
you should:

adb remount
adb shell apps2sd on
adb shell reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirandeep:
touchscreen

Overall the new ROM is great, fixed loads of problems i was having with the battery life on my G2. The only issues i have had over the last few days are as followsn:

-Sluggish at random times (refreshing text messages/screen/general use)

-Touchscreen does not respond at times (noticed when unlocking screen/writing emails/text messages/general use)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dalet11:
can you make a Hebrew support for the next ver?

I LOVE THIS ROM! the best Sense UI 2.1 EVER!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brochs:
Very Nice

Thanx, my first go at 2.1, and I like what I see. Seems stable enough for every day use to.

Problems notised:

1. Can't get GPS fix (Will try to upgrade Radio ROM as well)

--- Updated Radio ROM, GPS is now working ---

2. Google Earth from market will not start, no messeges, just does'nt start.

3. This morning I had no GSM signal, reboot was done, working now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dunetails:
I'm running v1.3b and have the latest Radio (63.18.55.06ju_6.35.09.26) but GPS still doesn't lock on.

Is it worth me re-flashing the radio or is that pointless?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicknyhk:
latest radio update

just did the latest radio update and the gps now works...cant think of anything more than i want from this rom now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Hey guys

Good to know you're all pleased with the current ROM.

I think it will be the last iteration of the Eris based ROMs.

I have finally just booted my Legend port and once I get everything working we'll be moving to that which is a much, much nicer ROM.

Keep an eye out, or follow me on twitter, i tend to put stuff there these days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peopleschamp:
Excuse me, which is the latest radio?

Is it 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563757

After i install it i can go back or can i instll the official rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicknyhk:
yeah that is the latest radio.

If what i have read up is right then u can still go back. Installing the official rom should also remove the radio update back to whichever is on the official rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] twcoolen:
I just installed your ROM. I came form the stock 1.5 ROM so for me it's a big difference. I noticed a performance gain when starting apps, switching tabs, etc. Thanks for this.

I notice one issue:

In the stock ROM I was able to hide my SIM contacts from the People/Contacts app. In this ROM I can only toggle Gmail and Phone contacts to show. SIM contacts is no longer an option. Now I see almost every contact double.

Is there any fix for this?

Kind regards,

Tom

Using an other eris ROM i've found a lil bug: i was using the browser, the loading of a page was compleated, pressed home botton, done other things and reopen the browser....in this situation the page that was loaded now was in reloading....i've found the same issue when i switch from a tab to an other in the browser.....

there is this problem also in this ROM?

sorry 4 my english.... xD:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicknyhk:
As far as i have noticed this rom doesn't have that issue if you press the home button or switch from tab to tab. I just tried it out and it works fine. The loaded page stays loaded as it is. Have not heard about this bug about any of the other roms though... perhaps your memory was low or something cause that used to happen to my ipod touch when i open more than one browser..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ilbulgaro89:
oook...thank you very much....i've found this issue with beHero 1.2.1...may be was only i my problem...:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
In the current Eris ROM, no, there is NO fix. The ROM used is CDMA based which doesn't have a SIM card and so the option to disable SIM contacts does not exist.

I noticed you've had some replies already, but I have never experienced this problem, as long as the page was already loaded, and it wasn't an auto-refreshing page, it shouldn't have to reload again when you switch back to the browser window.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicknyhk:
sorry to bother you but i just got my 8gb class 6 sd and am running this rom 1.3b on my htc hero gsm. I have already partitioned the card with amon-ra recovery 1.6. I upgraded it to ext 3 with 96 swap and 512 mb ram.

I tried to get into the adb and followed your code but all i get is /sbin/sh: abd:not found

Edit: sorry that just me being stupid cos i didnt look it up further. Figured out the problem was i was in the recovery.

Edit: after i remount and type in shell apps2sd on i get this instead

Enabling apps2sd.

/system/xbin/apps2sd: cannot create system/etc/init.d/01settings.tmp: read-only file system

failed on 'system/etc/init.d/01settings.tmp' - No such file or directory

Unable to chmod system/etc/init.d/01settings: Read-only file system

Done. Please reboot.

is it the way i have partition my sd card?? i tried googling this online but couldnt find a cure :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dunetails:
I've experienced this on all the other 2.1 ROMs I have flashed. It happens a LOT less on NeO ROM but does still happen on occassion. It happened so much on the other ROMs I moved to Dolphin for a while
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
I'm guessing it's effect of some sort of low memory killer either the system one of one you have installed killing it as a lower priority app than it should be to remain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkazakov13:
Does anyone else have this problem? When downloading certain paid apps from the market, the app downloads, installs successfully, but then it's broken and force closes the sense or the market (whichever opens it). This happens only to paid apps, and I think, not to all of them. I have apps2sd enabled.

Edit: It's not from apps2sd, disabled them, then reinstalled - the same problem occurs again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dunetails:
Yeah,I think it's an in built task killer,I know BeHero has an added task killer according to the changelogs.Guessing villain does too. More reason to stick on Neo. By far the most stable 2.1 I've used
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] diamondino:
still having problems with gps.

any fix????????

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeroms:
Hi Neo, I am on Vodafone UK too on my HTC hero, will MMS work on here as I havent found a ROM yet that works with mms!

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
It takes some setting up, but once I get the correct settings I'll try implement them into the APN list.

The trick is that we have to change our internet connection APN data to use the wap.vodafone.co.uk and wap/wap instead of Internet and web/web.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Did you try 1.3b? It should be working there, it's linked a couple of pages back by me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicknyhk:
Like the man said, if you are running v1.3 or 1.2, go to page 10. He has a link for v1.3b.

If you are then you might need to get the latest radio update for your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeroms:
Thanks very much!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GhostSeven:
This should work, fingers crossed it has worked for me and I'm on Vodafone UK

I have been running it for a few days and MMS works and I see no reduction of speed on 3G / HSDPA data and all of the social services work (facebook / twitter/ flickr )

Create a new APN with the details as follows

Name: Vodafone

APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk

Proxy: Not set

Port: Not set

Username: wap

Password: wap

Server: Not set

MMSC: h*ttp://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms

MMS Proxy: 212.183.137.012

MMS Port: 8799

MMS Protocol: Wap 2.0

MMC: 234

MNC: 15

APN Type: Not set

(Remove the * as I cannot post links...)

You may have to use MMSZap to move over the relevant bits (v 2.0 of that should do it auto magically)

Hope this helps.

Drop me a PM if you have any issues

Hope that is ok for me to post this here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeroms:
can this be done my end though? do I need to use mmszap?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GhostSeven:
Yes you can create a new APN on any rom (even on the stock HTC hero rom)

Once you have the new apn settings you can test MMS if it does not work (your better getting someone to send to you rather than sending to yourself I and some funky issues with that..) you can run MMS zap and cross check the relevant settings such as the MMSC address and ports. Then try again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sepipe-l0:
does this work on old radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicknyhk:
by this do you mean rom or mms??

the rom works generally fine on the old radio but you might have some trouble getting the gps to locate you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juansuandi:
its there anyway to change default lockscreen? i want it's like eclair one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jacio21:
Hi Guys!

I'm using 1.2 version since several days and I find it really great! Everything works good and battery drain is not so bad.

I would like to move to 1.3 (I already read the "how to" guide), but my question is: will I lose all my data and installed apps? Or will this upsate modify just few things?

Many thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juansuandi:
As its says no wipe, so you will not lose your data or apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MacaronyMax:
Sorry This is random but looking on your first screenshot the clock in the top bar is different to in your flipclock :D:D soz just sayin
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Yeh, it's because the clock widget doesn't update until you visit it on the home screen. Try it if you have one o these phones, it's quite noticable, if you leave it a few hours, when you first unlock, it'll take a couple of seconds to update.

Anyway, why are you looking at this ROM, use my newer one (see sig).
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] lilecho:
I was curious if anyone would be interested in porting some or all of the features of this Windows Mobile app over to Android. I'm most interested in the Facedown Lock feature. There is a similar app on the market named g-lock (sp?), but it doesn't work most of the time, and very poorly when it does actually work.

Link to the original app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=464611

Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ECLIPS3:
The only problem with doing a port over is the fact that the app is coded for a phone running a completely different operating system than the Eris.

HTC Raphael runs Windows Mobile Operating System. HTC Desire Eris runs Google Android Operating System. To get the app onto the Eris would require someone to completely re code how the lock app works.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michealjohn:
Sorry, posted in wrong forum. It should be moved to HTC Touch Diamond2 App and Themes.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hi,

I have seriously searched in this forum + google and other websites for past 1 week and I am not able to get the Cricket game for my windows mobile.

If anyone has annylinks or website, please help to provide. Other games collections links also welcome. thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mckayg66:
The weather on the home page with v1.5 you could add locations with a map search. I noticed that with v2.1 the map point location 'tool' is not there. I am trying to load certain locations to my weather and 2.1 version doesn't list any cities like version 1.5 did.

Is this a bug or a change? or am I missing something?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
They expect you to know where you want to know the weather or else why would you want to know the weather? Confusing:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] mckayg66:
Confusing, yes

Whether or not I know the weather is neither their business nor mine? I'd rather know whether the weather is more pleasant rather than not, in places i'd rather be....whether here or there.

author unknown. It's better that way.

sorry if I'm wasting time. Thanks to all of you who helped all of us who need "Eris and Android 2.1 for Dummies"!

All punning aside, I love the animations on screen. The rain drops had me nervous the first time they came up. The clouds passing by was neat. I think my favorite is the sunshine's aura.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangerous Dave:
There are TONS of complaints about the Eris weather widget. It's a flaky one for sure. We have three Eris's in my house and have yet to get all of them to work correctly, in spite of me spending lots of time on the phone with HTC. Mine actually works pretty well right now. My wife's would never display the correct city, but we could get close. After upgrading hers, it showed the correct city for the first time EVER...for a little while. The next day, it would only say "current location".

Sometimes your computer monitor makes a fantastic sounding board. As I sat here typing this, a thought popped into my head on the subject. Just grabbed the wife's phone (and some boob on the way by ;) ) and went into settings>location and found that GPS was enabled, but network location was not. Turned on both and voila`...the correct city name popped up. Check your location settings. That's all I got for ya...I hope it works.

[Droid Eris Android Development] JTF2007:
I have another issue with the HTC weather/clock widget. I've reloaded this new ROM 3 times already to see if there was an issue with installing other clock/weather programs but I have not been able to fix it.

On my home screen, the weather shows correctly (current location) and updates much quicker than the 1.5 ROM did.

When I tap the clock, by default it goes to "Desk Clock" Where it shows the time, weather and across the bottom you can choose between the world clock, alarm, stopwatch and timer.

The problem I am having is that the weather in this screen is stuck on Akron, OH. While I don't have anything against Akron, I don't particularly care about the weather there (its 640 miles away). I've deleted the location in the weather widget settings but every time the "Desk Clock" loads, sure enough, Akron, OH weather is displayed.

Anyone else with this problem?
[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
Have you tried deleting the stock widget and then adding the htc weather widget and setting a certain location where you live or current location? When you add the new widget it asks what city or current location you want it to default to. I got tired of seeing it set for 14 or current location instead of the city so I just set it to Baltimore as its the closest major city.

hope this helps
[Droid Eris Android Development] JTF2007:
I'm not having any problems with the stock time/weather widget on the home screen. It's the desk clock app that also shows the time. If you tap the clock on the home screen it takes you to the different clock, alarm, stopwatch, timer apps and the desk clock app shows the time, date, and weather. It is here that the weather only displays Akron, OH. My home screen updates as expected and about 5x faster than the 1.5 ROM.
[Nexus One General] cekle:
Just quickly telling my story.

I noticed after unlocking my bootloader that I had a tiny bit of dust under my charging LED and a small chip out of the inner bezel (The area between the screen and the edge of the phone).

I called HTC support and they offered a swap. Sent me a new phone and I sent mine back, didn't even mention the unlocked bootloader to them and haven't heard back from them.

They do ask you to keep your old battery and battery cover, and for some reason my old battery cover isn't quite flush with the edge of the phone! I called HTC again and they've sent me a new one, hopefully it fits. :)

Anyway, just confirming once again that unlocking the bootloader may void your warranty, but they don't even ask if you've done it or seem to mind. :).
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
Good to know man, that is some valuable information. I had always assumed I would be covered in a situation like yours, but it is definitely good to know for sure.
[Nexus One General] phxblue:
when looking at the back of the phone was the uneven battery door on the upper right side? thats where mine is uneven.
[Nexus One General] dextroz:
Yes, I have the same uneven battery cover at the back. The 'body' of the phone around the curved edge juts out beyond the battery cover. The left-top side of the phone body is however flush with the battery cover.

However, I am not going to exchange my phone since everything else is perfect this will not be noticeable or a concern with the innocase II ;)
[Nexus One General] cekle:
Yes, it is on the upper right. If it is the phone I may ask for a new one from HTC again. I am a huge perfectionist when it comes to gadgets. :)
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Upper right, centre left and bottom edge of my battery cover are all out of alignment...

[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
You are awesome! :D

Two questions:

A) What version is that Swype?

B) I can't install it. Any idea what could be the issue?

Pics of my current version # and the install error:
[Nexus One General] seanhassars:
swype is now in public beta, and according to their instructions you have to uninstall any previous iterations of it before you can install it again, so I would say try that.
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
Done Here! Thanks Though..

Hey, I got accepted to the swiftkey as well, but for some reason or another the d/l didn't work on my end, kept getting to about 500k, then aborting... Thanks for the apk! I will give it a whirl. Swype isn't for me... I am one of the freaks that prefers the stock keyboard the most so far... even over HTC_IME. But I would like a little better!
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
You're gonna love the SwiftKey then.. Trust me.. ;)
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I actually just started testing it out... wow! SwiftKey is an understatement... my lady is actually giving me the evil eye a bit since I just sent her a bunch of gtalk msgs that were random and kept including SwiftKey rocks.
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
If she was in the kitchen she wouldn't be giving you the evil eye, unless she has an android phone then shes perfect :)!!! HAHA JK, sexist joke was necessary!
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
Yeah, i told you.. Spread the word.. Not to many people have this.. They NEED this.. Since it's private.. ;)
[Nexus One General] Zuber:
Wow, love the way it guesses what you probably want.

Personally, I still like swype. I find I'm constantly pausing and scanning to see if it has guessed the word I want yet. With swype, I am more able to focus on what I wish to write than if it has guessed the word yet.

But I've not played with this very long and might chane my mind. At the moment, it disrupts the rythem for me. I can't think about what I want to input and on if it has poped up with a valid selection yet at the same time (limitation of my brain).

Both impressive bits of software.

I think swype could benefit from the predictive logic of swift when trying to select the best word choice. It's already very good, but by checking the sentece context it could better prioratise the choice selection. Particularly for sloppy input of very short words.

Zuber
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Sadly I have to agree.

Pausing often to see if it has the word you want makes typing very slow.

Technically speaking, SwiftKey is impressive.

But practically... who will really prefer this?...
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
You couldnt have said it any better way.. I am a selected tester, and I thaNk all of you as I will provide this as feedback to Swiftkey. They're constantly changing the way it functions, this is why I sent it off to the world.. I get feedback here too.
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
Correct you stand.. thanks.. I am sending that as feedback.. that's why I posted it here.. I think it is much more than impressive.. Give it time and try to use it more than often, this way you get a good view of it.

Plus, Google is going to add this as a stock keyboard this takes off. So pass on the word..

I am digging swiftkey, I certainly like it more than smart keyboard. I think it needs to get adjusted to your personal preferences but so far it is really accurate. Very cool indeed.

Only English up to now.. I am going to send that in right now..
[Nexus One General] jlevy73:
On swiftkey they should do something about the period. A double tap on the spacebar selects the word so if it doesn't predict right you have press the period each time. There should be an option to change what double tapping the space bar does.
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
Note.. this is an alpha based release. We testers were chosen to get this done right. So all that you say I will forward...

[Droid Eris Android Development] j18yo:
Was wondering..

I seen once you update to the early 2.1 update floating around there's no going back to 1.5, which is fine.. I've done the update and have no problems.

However, if they were to tweak more and make the 2.1 update better by the time the official one releases, will our phones still receive the update? Or will it register as already having 2.1 and not pick up on it?
