have any 1 tried 2.1 multitouch apps/games such as the solo 1.22 or zenonia? BTW why do multitouch gaming only support version 2.1 ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nickiej89:
Any solution for connecting with a mobile network? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Did you aready try to set manually apn?

GPS works, which version are you using??

I tried zenonia and it goes smooth

Multitouch on 3rd part apps works only on 2.x cause google introduced this feature only on 2.x

GPS on mine is not working either. Im using the overclocked ROM. Everything else works perfectly except the GPS.

Its by far the best ROM Ive tried. Better than Modaco, Villian and also every 2.1 ROM Ive tried. There just not stable or consistent enough at the moment, so Im definately sticking with the overclocked Kimera for now. Just hope the GPS can be fixed as I use need it for CoPilot.

Have any other people tried GPS to see if theirs work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madduckuk:
just had a try, CoPilot and navigon both working fine! overclocked rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JuganotUK:
One of the best roms i have used so far.

Speed:still some minor lagg but much smoother than any rom i have used so far.

Stability:No major stability problems other than the one i encounter when mounting and the rom seems to crash to i need to restart my phone.

I will be sticking with this rom till an overclocked 2.1 with a good camera comes out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Thank you hope it works with my Hero even though I doubt it since mine is a newer one... but hopefully I get lucky

thanks for the ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Have you tried turning the GPS on then doing a reboot and turning the GPS on again?? Thats what you have to do for some 2.1 ROMs might be the same issue here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robyrocker89:
don't work for me in Kimera 1.5 and 1.6...when I activated gps (widget or settings) and I open Google maps, i don't see radar's icon on notification bar and gps don't connect...

siccome sei italiano e il mio inglese fa schifo, traduco :D :

il problema me lo da sia nella Kimera 1.5 che nella 1.6...attivo il gps (attraverso il widget o attraverso impostazioni-posizione), apro google maps ma purtroppo non vedo l'icona del radar nella barra delle notifiche e il rilevamento della posizione me lo fa sempre tramite rete mobile...se disattivo la rete mobile e tengo attivo il gps mi da errore come se maps lavorasse solo su rete mobile...

per il resto, ottima rom, davvero...la migliore che abbia provato fino ad ora...sto pensando seriamente ad una donazione ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
Does the GPS icon come up in the notification bar, when you turn it on? Because when I turn mine on it doesnt apear. But when I go into Copilot it says "signal detected, determining position" but then it never gets any further, even when stood outside :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
Just tried this, but still not working :confused:

Also just done a full wipe and reflashed the ROM, and its still not working! :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beachdemon:
seriously the best 1.5 ROM out there - if you're looking for something incredibly stable and fast over the principle of having a 2.1 ROM, this is what you need! battery life is also impressive, my phone has been off charge since about 8AM this morning, it's now 4.45PM and I have 73% charge left. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phaelox:
That why I linked you specifically to a post by the HTC_IME mod creator, containing a link to a beta version for 1.5 phones (c.q. Hero). Which works fine on my device.

And for those with GPS issues, and I know this is obvious to some, make sure you're OUTSIDE for a cold fix (first time fix), preferrably not in between tall buildings, in other words a clear view of the sky.

By the way, before Kimera I used MCR, getting a fix took a little while, seems to go faster now, can often get a (warm) fix inside now as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] twit_xp:
Try re=flashing the radio with GPS on. Has worked for me a number of times ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
After first day using the slow rom everything working fine no crashes or anything odd gps working fine and battery after a day was down to 85% very impressed so far top work on this rom mate keep up the good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madduckuk:
yep, icon comes up straight away when it starts using gps, and it gets a lock in pretty much the same time as it did with stock Rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
It works again! :D Thanks for advice. It was really beginning to bug me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gascanieto:
flash radio again and every time you flash a rom. That should solve it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fstluxe:
Nou I can See and feel the Extra performance !!

Before i was using the Stock 1.5 rom.

I kept my data and didn't use the system wipe by this way i reached the 32.5 FPS with neocore and 3.15 Mflops with Linpack.

But its not really stable Yet! when calling the others can't hear me the most times and also some SMS message don't arrive.

But really Nice!!

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
WTF? You're the first with this problem

Please some more testing and let me knoe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bratfink:
Wondering

Could u also tell me how u attained a neocore score for this 1.5 based rom? as i didnt think it was possible, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nickiej89:
Thankss it worked! Now the rom is suberb!:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nickiej89:
Ohh one last question: is app2sd running fine? I've installed some apps and my internal memory is about 50 - 60 mb...

This is what i did:

After flashing in hboot mode:

- Partition sdcard

- partition sd

- made 2 partitions of 512 mb, and the rest was fat32

Is this the right way to get app2sd working?

i'm sorry for being a little bit of a noob ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
He said he didn't wipe before flashing. Maybe that's causing the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Yes it's right, but 512 for swap partition are useless

It's normal that internal memory decrease cause dalvik-cache remains on the device, anyway occupied space will be less than without apps2sd

For example a 15mb huge app will use about 1mb on internal memory

Ah yeah, don't what i didn't consider that part of post

so

@fstluxe try making a wipe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AllWin:
First impression - very good

Installed this ROM about an hour ago and so far it works very well. No FCs or other probs till now. Keybord (with Haptic feedback enabled) and SenseUI feels very responsive and i know why - i got 3.093 MFLOPS in Linpack test. My previous ROM (SenseHERO 2.1 v20 gave me only ~2MFLOPS :D

Going to play with tonight and see if my impressions will remain the same ;) Thank you Chef for cooking nice ROM.

PS. Just wondering is such a big overclocks are safe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Yes, cpu voltage is not modified so it's safe

If this doesn't solve the problem flash non overclocked version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fstluxe:
Thanks again Exit93 !

Are you intend cooking a 2.1+JIT rom with the new .29 kernel and this patch? I really wonder how that preforms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
will try that now, i'll format my SD to becasue ive come from a 2.1 ROM. will you be making a less clocked version like 600 or 610?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Don't think so, rom runs really good with these settings and i don't think that 50mhz affects stability

This "patch" is a .27 overclocked kernel and it runs bad on 2.1, anyway i'll work on 2.1 only when htc will release official update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fstluxe:
sorry double post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bratfink:
To Exit93

I also believe this would work amazingly well! also does the legend/desire theme contain the 'helicopter view' of all 7 home screens etc etc. thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Sadly no, that is a 2.1 only feature
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theoneandonlyhaz:
I've been experimenting with this pretty much constantly since yesterday! Testing only after complete wipes (everything I could possibly wipe has been wiped) I have found out that:

1) My Hero freezes only when in use, i.e. when the screen is on.

2) The phone freezes and resets at completely random intervals after the phone has been turned on - sometimes it makes it all the way to the UI, sometimes it resets on the title screen.

3) The time it takes to freeze varies a lot: sometimes I can get about 10 minutes of use from the phone, sometimes only seconds.

4) No particular program appears to be setting it off. There appears to be no correlation with anything really, apart from that it dies when it's doing stuff like loading pages or swiping etc (for example, it won't just freeze if I leave the screen on doing "nothing")

5) When freezing, the phone refuses to respond and then restarts after around 5 seconds. From my experience, this feels nearly identical to an unstable overclock on a desktop CPU.

6) Different radios seem to have an effect, for example the latest radio completely refused to boot my phone after nearly 10 attempts and 30 minutes. I downgraded to a previous radio and had better results (this could simply be bad/good luck however).

7) The non OC'd version works without a hitch on my phone. Or at least it has been working for the past 3 hours without a problem.

I'm just about to try flashing the OC'd kernel over MCR to see what happens (someone on the other thread reported that there was no problem).

I hope some of this information is useful to someone! I know i'm a noob and any experience I have with PC overclocking could be completely useless on phones etc... but any chance of a lower overclocked version for those of us with inferior chips? After using the overclock I could see a really big performance gain over any other rom I have used. Pretty please :D?:D:D?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
This seems to be an incompatible hero, I think it's difficult you won't have problems with modaco

Anyway i'm not developer of kernel, you have to ask to maxisma to have a different clock
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] X-Ter:
I cannot believe how fast this ROM is. I went from Modaco to 2.1 and I never thought I would return to 1.5 until this. The speed is stunning.

Great job! Now I just need to see how the speed is once I install all my apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
would it be possible to put JIT on this??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geotjwu:
hey, awesome job. The speed is great and its fantastic. Quick question to, i know this is version 1.5 but can u perhaps add in internet sharing?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poochie2:
Grazie!

Wonderful ROM! I noticed that SetCPU doesn't work correctly with this kernel (I monitored the actual cpu clock via /proc/cpuinfo), is there a way to at least set a clock of 160/128 MHz when the display is off and maybe 256 instead of 480 when it's on but idle (minimum clock)? :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] developing:
JIT is only supported in Android 2.0 and above.

You can find "Mobile network sharing" under Settings -> Wireless controls at the very bottom of the list. Not as easy as 2.1, but still there. If you're asking for wireless tethering, you can get the apk here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Ya thats what I thought but wasnt sure
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ergagno:
Excellent ROM...super fast with all the features....simple. That's what I was looking for. Great job.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
Anyone tested OCed Vs nonOCed batterylife ? Also, maybe some tests against stock 1.5 ?

I'm currently on stock 1.5 + root + modified kernel, tested OCed version and it works really smooth but I'd like to know battery runtime impact.

Also, I can't tell any difference between original and Legend/Desire Theme from pictures posted, so where are those differences?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nickiej89:
Oke, and what size of swap partition would you advice me to select the next time? thanks for you quick and helpfull responses!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madduckuk:
haven't noticed any impact on battery life at all
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
whats the difference between legend and original themes ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hertus:
i'm lovin it ;)

came back from all 2.1 ROM's, and before i used Modacco's work, but this ROM got the fastest HTC Sense ever and a smooth user interaction feeling and that's no joke like other kitchen-builder write (super fast, extrem etc.... bla bla bla) - also with some good plugins/apps on default - and for more language usage just installed more-locales (switzerland)

Really great work dude, stable at all, fast at all, and all my apps on CupCake in need works, I don't believe a 2.1 ROM will be necessary for me when this one works perfect - what want a ROM user more then a fast and stable phone :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
I have to agree. Been using it for 2 days now. Also the best 2 days in my Hero life :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
It's normal, to fix this you have to ask to kernel's creator maxisma

Do you mean gps is not working? Just reflash the radio, it will fix that

Difference is almost insignificant

In this rom i added compcache that compresses a part of ram to free ram space, so swap is useless, in roms without compcache i think 32 mb are enough

PS: To use swap partition you need swapper

For now the homescreen's arc and lockscreen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AllWin:
Final thoughts

OK, so here are my final word. This ROM is amazingly fast and stable, i haven't got any single freeze, lockup or "FC". Really awesome work ;) The only reasons why i've flashed SenseHERO 2.1 now is... The overclock is a bit to high IMO, i'm afraid to use it daily :D Also, Android 2.1 has a good bunch of useful features such as detailed last calls info, new Google maps and etc.

Perhaps some day you'll release a little bit less overclocked Android 2.1 based ROM :rolleyes: Thanks again and keep doing great job!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Overclock is not dangerous because cpu's voltage is not modified, so it won't overheat or damage

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AXIS of Reality:
A suggestion for the Legend / Desire theme:

One of my pet peeve's with cupcake sense is the backgrounds in menus (eg: settings) being dark grey which makes it look like the Hero has terrible contrast. I noticed in 2.1 sense roms it's been changed to proper black and looks much more attractive and makes the white text more readable in sunlight.

Any chance of this making the theme?

Edit: already answered I see, o well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
Thx for the reply. BTW don't you think having Rom on 2.1 would be great? 2.1 overclock must be awsome
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
Difference between the themes or battery life?

If you mean battery life then I think the difference is big if kernel doesn't low clocking when display is off and/or in idle
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
I mean battery, difference is really insignificant

About the theme i answered in other quote

overclock is based on a .27 kernel

Android 2.1 need a .29, .27 runs buggy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
@Exit93

Do you think you can add this theme? I really like it but its for 2.1 ROM and I have not clue how to port it to 1.5 ROMS.

Also what is the highest frequency that the Hero should be OC'ed to? (and still be stable)

Do you know if there are plans to produce an overclocked based on .29? If so will you be producing a ROM for it?

By the way fantastic work on this ROM, its easily the best out at the moment.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Well as far as I know there has yet to be a release of the .29 kernel base source so the only way I could think of to get the source is reverse engineering, so until the source is released it cannot be OC'ed.

Oh and also Exit93 does have a 2.1 ROM called CKDroid however it is no longer in development, also a link is in his sig.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
Ok, thx. I don't know If I understand correctly but does OCed Kernel clocks CPU always with the same value? (even idle/screen off)

If so then it must consume more power than normally clocked one stock kernel (which as far as I know lowers clocking when idle/screen off)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JuganotUK:
I keep getting random fc like sometimes when i unlock my phone or mount to my pc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
boot in to recovery, wipe factory data, dalvik cache and sd ext partition (might have spelt something wrong but hopefully you get the general idea) then flash ROM reboot wait for your phone to load properly and if there are any fixes you wish to flash shut off phone and reboot into recovery and flash them

if this doesnt work your Hero is just incompatible with the OC'ed kernel so if you still want the Kimera ROM flash the non OC'ed 1.6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] No1VIPER:
Removed. Posted in error.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
This should be compatible with kimera too

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=615096

What do you mean with the second question? Kimera has clock set to 710 mhz but i think hero can be overclocked more in future

Don't think so, i think i'll wait for official update to get back to develop 2.1 roms

I really never understood this, ask to maxisma
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fstluxe:
1 I use Set cpu to make sure the freq = 528 so that's 71000 KHZ Correct me if I'm wrong!

2 Set Air plain mode

3 Then use Task killer and redo the Benching after 3 or 4 times I get 32.4/32.5 FPS.

Oh and after the Data wipe its stable now !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
I think youre wrong because the overclock program if anything would set the max frequency to 528 because that is the maximum on it not 710 so you would be making the Hero run normally and not overclocked at all.. IMO.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bratfink:
Huh

Sorry i wasnt asking what the neocore score was, but how u tested it. i cannot find necore in the market as it is for 2.1 roms only, so how did u install or it run it? thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Thanks for the link well I think you covered the second question I just wanted to know if it was possible to overclock the Hero more and still be stable. (so we basically have a Legend right now without the tiny increase in RAM and AMOLED screen)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fstluxe:
ooh sorry,

A small google search for "neocore apk" then install the apk ! it should run.

Hey! you should really make a distinction between "incompatible" with overclocking altogether" and "incompatible with this specific oc kernel". I'm still waiting for a lower oc kernel to pop up to help those who have stability issues.

credit where its due, even the non oc version of this Rom is very fast and pretty.

Can you get any signal at all? If not it is due to the fact you have to APNs set so you can either get your APNs via another member or your carrier and input it manually Setting>Wireless Controls>Mobile Network Settings>Access Point Names and add your mobile carriers APNs or if you had it stored on your SD card you can get a wifi connection and download "APN Backup & Restore" and restore your APNs that way.
