Does 0.4 crash after a phone call? i had that issue with 0.4, random soft reboots after calls
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
I had same problem after some calls or sms it can't back from stanby and I need to remove battery and put back to start working. as I rember 0.4 didn't have this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
However yesterday I claimed that the blackout problem does not affect me anymore, today I had it again during charging. I made a test, and called myself, whether the phone is still on, just invisible, or switched off. Unfortunately it was not available. :(

Anyway, still keeping this version, and try to find the root cause. As I see the blackout happens mainly during charging, above ~70%.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
I think I found the solution for the dead lockscreen !!

let me just fix "update-script" then I'll release 0.5.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
That's just great :) Hope it will boot up without problem...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Tension mounts... Looking forward to this one :-)

When flashing this rom I seem to be getting an error saying:

...

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

E: Failure at line 156:

symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/nc

Installation aborted.

The aHero 0.5 was working perfectly fine except the ROM seemed to freeze at some places. For example when applying NexusMod and sometimes trying to end call. But even with the problem, love this rom!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
I don't understand these things...if you would read back ~20 posts you could see that we all had the same result, and got back to 0.5 or other ROMs. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] g189ffin:
Thank you! I thought I couldnt get the rom cos I didnt have the download link! Found it and am restoring it right now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
see max is working on 0.52 thank god. i hate all this sense stuff as everyone jumps on it and all offer the same stuff. 5 roms all on offer looking the same and pretty much doing same things. this rom is the only maintained Vanilla option as Vanillain has not been updated as the chef is yes..........working on Eris dump! Fuk this bugged up Eris dump guys and give us a solid Vanilla option.

Thanks Max for your efforts and i hope that 0.52 will be done soon

edit: bet wen Legend port is made available we will also have a flood of Legend roms for our Hero. dont mind trying them but for everyday use need a solid Vanilla option
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
here here!

when you were using it did you use the camera?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
yeah and it had a greenish tint to it. that however seemed to change depending on lighting conditions and focus. green tint disappeared after a bit on mine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
sorry but my blackouts were not when charging but normal use. have you got any further in figuring out issue or just waiting for Max to release 0.52?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] linxin0117:

not flaming you mate but this has been reported a few pages back. 0.51 wont boot. please read before posting mate as you risk being flamed posting same thing over and over. WE KNOW! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Excellent - here we go!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] markatmgpc:
Has anyone got any tips for sorting out a2dp during calls?

Weird thing is that it passes the audio through from the music player, but calls are silent both ways.

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
Man ! cant get this rom working got the 0.5.2 now and its frozen on the green splash screen ? any advice ? im running latest radion custom recovery rooted ect ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
from recovery, wipe factory/data, wipe dalivc and wipe ext 3 partition then load it again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
tried that not sure if i have ext3 partition actually still not working do you think if i mount memory card in usb after wiping data and dalvik and formating my sd then copying the rom and flash it ...that would work ? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
boot into custom recovery and wipe data, dalvik cache and sd ext partitions and you be ok................ try reformatting your card with sd or usb card reader and partition with custom recovery. my sdcard is not partitioned and rom is running sweet. sits at hero for few mins then at green bootsplash for about 5 mins then springs to life. be patient as if anything will not go past Hero boot logo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
will try and report back - thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
No deep sleeps to report yet!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
awesome working now ! and all synced up thanx guys 1 question though having tried previous versions obviously the menus have change and the option for text and local ....is there anyway to get the hero keyboard on this rom ? i.e install the HTC_IME ? hate the stock keyboard :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
I'll try it now. Cannot wait for.... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Up and running and set up. So far so good :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
just went settings of green smoke live wallpapers and it froze had to pull the battery ? rebooted ok now ?? i know that a lot of the live wallpapers arent stable so just put it down to that ?

Any advice on getting the Hero keyboard on this rom (HTC_IME) plz :D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Just rebooting .... HERO written for while ... now I got Matrix :) Or rather Androix :D

Great. Booted, USB working. Now I reboot and add Launcher2.

Loox great :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
yep livewallpaper will freeze phone. did it with the rotating globe. phone froze and had to pull battery. when restarted lots of force close alerts. changed to normal and working fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
that nexus launcher is very buggy. it kills the touchscreen so you need to use trackball to scroll thru home pages and no finger. wont let launch any programs from home screen but if you use trackball to scroll to and press to launch works fine. then all of a sudden touch is back and finger scrolling active again. buggy aint the word
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
ok just called the girfriend and it froze screen locked :( oh dear !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
hmmmmmm been on it all day. calls, texts, web surfing etc etc and solid. what apps have you installed? any customisations? mine is still as it was created as i do that to fully test base prior to customising. gotta make sure base is right first
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
ive installed astro file manager,wether widget and set cpu ? set to max settings could this be the cause ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
HeroDroid faced some rebooting issues, and aHero is getting weird stuff too. all started when when I used this new Kernel !! :(

even though I hope it's not the problem. because it gives great performance and Battery efficient too..

I'll keep on investigating this issue :\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
set cpu is ur culprit mate. why do people need to max out the speed of the cpu? this causes more problems and provides no real enhancements at all. whats wrong with normal cpu speed? its obviously set at that for a reason and setting to max will obviously impact on phone performance. it remains to be seen what real benefits this type of overclocking apps provide! i never use these type of apps as not only do they impact on battery performance but also impacts on normal phone operation. try use rom as it was created as if any issues arise then can report. wen apply overclocking app and issues arise you need to look at that first prior to reporting bug etc:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
no issues with new kernel for me mate. i always use rom as created for 24 hrs prior to customising! battery life is still being checked on my part but so far so good. as for that Eris dump, as i have said that piece of **** is bugged up. sort one thing another arises.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Been pretty solid this afternoon so far. No real problems as of yet. Hopefully there won't be either :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
ok so it says nexusmod live wallpaper works but when i select it it works untill i lock and then unlock then reverts to standard wallpaper ? any way round this ? also plz pl z plz can someone help me install the hero keyboard (HTC_IME) HATE stock keyboard :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
going to have to move on to something with bluetooth audio support!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
apk onto root of sd card. astro or linda to apk file. click to launch and will ask to install. once installed then go to touch settings in settings, clear that then go to create message and it will give you touch input options. choose one you just installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
That's correct. However if you press the home button when the problem occurs, it recovers himself. So this is working for me as sort of workaround. But I like the new launcher soooooooo much more :D

Otherwise this new release is WOW :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
there is no touch settings

settings > language and keyboard > select local/android keyboard/user dictionary ???

ok got it working now thanx again :D

any way to keep live wallpaper working ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
i too have it on as dont mind the bugs it throws up. not a fuss pot about minor things like that!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
that you will have to ask chef. Legend doesnt have them either and it has 600mhz cpu. Desire and Nexus one do and cpu is 1ghz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blueflash:
I'm testing new legend rom for a while before no doubt putting this new update on,, fun times
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] conb123:
Love it!

I love the rom it's brilliant great work, just a couple of requests though, is there any way to remove time stamps on the photos that I take? Also if you could try and get Facebook sync working for the next release that would be awesome. I loved being able to have peoples profile pictures as there caller id photo. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
First impression: a really nice ROM!

I just installed aHero 0.5.2 and so far it's running smoothly apart from a few already reported issues (live wallpapers crashing after lock/unlock cycle, playing 3gp files only shows first frame etc). So far I've been switching between KaguDroid and Vanillain but I will definitely be keeping an eye on this ROM!

Now on to a silly question: Where do I find the default wallpaper? It doesn't show up in the wallpaper gallery.

[update] Just to clarify, I mean the aHero default wallpaper. The one with a series of narrow photos. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Had a couple of apps which worked on the stok ROM not working now. Obviously not certain that it's not the fault of the apps rather than the ROM. Will investigate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
you seen the new topic..........'do we need so many competiting roms' ....... lol i am sure we all have something to say. no probs here at all
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
Can confirm that both the apps I was having trouble with are issues with the apps themselves. Which is nice :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sardanadixit:
no HTC sync option when connected to PC to sync my contacts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
This is a Vanilla Eclair ROM !!

HTC stuff is in SenseUI ROMs :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sardanadixit:
Any way to synch my contacts in Outlook to this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
battery life has not improved for me at all. 100% charge at 20:00 GMT and now 20:15 and 89%. i have the news and weather widget on home screen, logged into facebook and widget on homescreen and twidroid logged in as well. oh and launcher 2 as well.............. not looking good for me i am afraid. might settle down but i am a heavy user so its expected i guess. man i give up and am fed up. probably want this to work for me too bad. :(

edit: at this rate wont last the night!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
check your Radio version. use the one like in the screenshot !!

i'm using my phone to listen to music in my car (drove about 1:30 hour). and checking Twidroid at every traffic light. :rolleyes:

i've turned the GPS for about 5 minutes and checked a place using Google Maps..

of course Sync and HSDPA is always on !!

played a game for sometime "Bay Blackjack"..

and used Softweg and Neocore to do some benchmarking..

all that happened in about the last 6 hours, and my battery is at 60% :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
same radio as you mate....... held up since my last post so initial drain must be to do with when i flashed launcher 2. as it does a full reboot obviously battery drain is expected. levelled out for the minute so will see
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] apesgrapes:
i like this rom but it won't let me change wallpaper, it accepts it but just shows the default. shame because i really like the unlock :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
currently I'm working on the default launcher and modifying it to look like Launcher2. less functionality but the appearance is the same :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
After fighting with the Launcher 2 for half a day, I uninstalled it. Now it is not that nice, but working :D

What I realized, that the photos are falling apart in landscape view. Is this happening for others as well??

And that's all the troubles so far. Pretty good :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
can describe "falling apart" more clearly please? :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
My english is not good enough to describe it clearly, but the pictures will explain... (I hope the attachments will be visible).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
oh yeah, that's the Gallery3D rotate bug. No body solved it for phones with MDPI screen size (=Hero, G1,Magic..) :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
Thanks, not a big issue however. I can live without landscape images :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dominiish:
I've just installed the rom.

It looks fine and is nice, but:

-on startup, gapps process from google "stopps unexpectedly"

-the call-button isn't working, and so i can't make calls - "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly"

and sorry for my english, please correct me if the grammatic is false ;).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
The phone process dies sometimes in my case as well. At startup it seems to be OK :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] overdoze:
I don't know why some Live Wallpapers always shut themselves down :S.

Oh I also noticed that if I connect the device with a computer, Live Wallpapers seems to work fine.

Anyway, nice ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
never had phone process stop on me at startup before but voicesearch has. removed launcher 2 as annoying having to press home button to constantly unfreeze the damn thing. will see what Max comes up with? anyone tried the Pulse launcher on this rom, the one from Sensehero? looks good that. battery has levelled out from yesterday so ok performance for me. no major issues with rom just wish we could have a solid bugfree kernel from which wondeful things stem from.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phunni:
I'm still happy - everything has been solid so far. Or at least as good as the stock Hero ROM anyway :-) In many cases better.

Keeping an eye on battery life, it seems to be going down a little faster than before but, if it lasts the day, I'll be happy.

Haven't had any major issues with force closes since fixing the problems I had with a couple of apps at first. I'm getting the occasional force close, but it's not common enough to put me off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sandmen:
@shingers5

Which Radio-Version do you use? GPS work's (switch on/off without reboot) ?

@MaXo64

can you descrip the video issue ( maybe h264 by rtsp Protocol ?).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
Audio keeps playing, while only the image from the first frame is displayed :confused:

this is what I see in "adb logcat":

W/MediaPlayer( 6191): info/warning (1, 44)
I/MediaPlayer( 6191): Info (1,44)
D/MediaPlayer( 6191): getMetadata
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sandmen:
which video format and which protocol

h264 or h263 in mp4-format and from file or from rtsp .....? or with every video?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
mp4 works fine. Only 3gp have this problem. and it's h264..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sandmen:
on 0.4, i can play video stream h264-video with rtsp.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ktmna:
a2dp "Bluetooth during calls" don't work for my, but a2dp music works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ilbulgaro89:
but about battery life what can you say?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
excessive use (games, music, calls) and it completed 24 hours for me !! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Munkozz:
Great to you. OpenGL working, thats a big progress)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
"it won't work with ext3" !?!?

LMAO .. my bad :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevin8622:
Great rom, very fast, good work.

Two problems for me after few minutes of use :

- I'm using google sync, it worked by I cannot see any event in my calendar, too bad :( (contacts works)

- Bluetooth audio don't work

edit:

My events are finally synced too ! Sorry.. Maybe google servers was (very) slow this night.

Still the bluetooth audio problem... like many other roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Soaa-:
I can't get the ROM to work. I wiped before flashing, but I still got stuck in a boot loop. I use A2SD with an Ext4 partition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sedinix:
change ext partition ext4 dont worked format using ext3
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
what kernel is this using, if its using 2.6.29 then compcache wont work, if its using 2.6.27 then camera wont work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fredisco:
I flashed it just now, and checked the Exchange sync:

Email = ok

Contacts = ok

Calendar = not visible, you can't sync the calendar.

I tried with this:

But as soon as I check the AgendaView in the CorpCalendar it crashes. just like for every one on this thread:

Using this ROM now and it's working great. GJ!

Also I tried to use JIT - now Hero is extremely fast.

Best 2.1 ROM)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] majed2001:
what about bluetooth file sharing . does it work ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmadmz3:
Tried it .

It's actually good !! , but I found a bug in alarm where the days doesn't show up instead there is numbers ! .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
working on that..

BTW, Facebook Sync WORKS !! will be included in the next release :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] izmar:
Oooo Facebook sync? I feel like you're the first to achieve this on 2.1! Good job you genius man!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liorry:
You're definitely the first Dev who succeeded in making this work.

PLEASE RELEASE IT ASAP :)

jk... take your time, thank you for this great rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
He is the first to get it working in a non-sense based rom.... :) can't take anything away from nprussel with the work he has done.

However very well done in getting it working, but has it damaged any other features in the process?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arj03:
Looks very interesting. Is this based on OpenEclair v1.2.2? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] invaderjohn:
anyone tried launcher2 on this rom?

and facebook sync is gonna be awesome :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liorry:
You're right, i meant non-Sense roms.

By the way, anyone tested Launcher2? Does is support the 3D effect?

Also, any chance google Earth works on this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BorisDeviant:
- Google Earth does not launch (same with each Eclair I tested on the Hero)

- Launcher2 does work but with all the well-known limitations : crashes when an other OpenGL app is opened (eg Gallery 3D), sometimes reboots the phone, etc.

Anyway, great, fast, battery efficient Rom ! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liorry:
Ok. flashed it... Best vanilla android 2.1 rom so far. even better than jnwhiteh one, and that's not an easy task!

A keeper until official Hero 2.1 update!

Some useful information:

* for anyone who wonders and hopes: Google Earth not working.

* seems that the battery is as in all roms of that kind - draining fast!

* probably faster than any other rom out there. compcache is great :)

* live wallpapers work nice... at least the ones downloaded from Market.

* screen is much more responsive than other roms.

* support in RTL languages (Hebrew tested) and Israel APN list :)

* Launcher2 works smooth (3D effect on menu not working as in all roms)

* Gallery3D with multitouch works perfect (advise deleting Android folder from SD card if you came from different android 2.1 rom)

* Facebook sync - can't wait for the new release! hope we don't have to wipe again!

* A2SD seems working (ext3 partition).

Will report back if I find any issues or unknown bugs.

Thank you! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ilbulgaro89:
but with network data all day?? I really need it xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
That's good outlook :) Now I have a small 1100mAh accu which is quite weak.

Furthermore, today I had a 'black saturday' ;) with my aHero.

I installed the Navigation in the morning, and tried to use it. Planning was OK, but as I started to go it got frozen. Display on, map on, but no movement, no reaction. Accu remove, restart. Navigate again. It run smooth for ~1 minute, then restarted. OK, so no navigation :o)

~1 hour later, trying to check something on google docs (with delphin) and froze again. Accu remove, restart.

Another 20 minutes, and I got a 'blackout'. Sooooooo, accu remove, restart. Arghhhh.

Still I refuse to go back to 1.5 Sense..... :D

After restarting I got the process stopped 2 times out of 3. But I cannot recall which process it is. If important, I'll check.

Edit: One more thing, but I think this was reported by others as well: My bluetooth car-cit connects to the phone but is not transmitting any voice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
are you using aHero 0.5.2?

if yes, do this with ADB:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/etc/init.d/04memkill

even though this solves the " random reboots" issue .. :D

I deleted this file, and my phone didn't freeze since then :D

I'll release an update soon to patch thing up :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
Yes, HSPDA. and sync working too :rolleyes:
