screens

Hi

I've found something cool i've managed to get 10 home screens when I press the home key I get two options one HTC sense and on home, if press HTC sense I get 7 home screens when press home I get 3 home screens, I can put widgets on all and it works I wondering if its on all Roms or if its something i've done,

Sense Force Close

Hmmm...

I just stepped outside to get some exact lat and long details using GPS and having not used GPS since flashing the ROM (Beta 2) a few hours ago I switched on GPS, saw it fail to work, and rebooted with GPS enabled hoping it would fix itself.

Now though, the phone is useless as it just does an FC loop on HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) as soon as it's booted.

Has anybody else had this issue or know how to fix it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
"Home" option is the default android home. You haven't SENSE in it, but you can put other widgets there with no problem.

The choice between both, has been always in HTC Hero Sense Roms, AFAIK.

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crisdj:
Anybody noticed that beta 2 is consuming much more battery than beta 1,in 5 hours of standby of b1 i got from 100% to 93% and on b2 from 100% to 84% but the most important thing is that in 3.4 in the same 5 hours i got from 100% to 76%
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reloaded10:
quick 1, how long should it take to boot first time? its takin a while!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It could take at least 5-10 mins. Don't rush it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nemo0815:
No, but GPS is not working at all. I get 1 satellite at best outdoors, tried rebooting the phone with GPS on or off serveral times, even reflashed the radio, no success. Just can't get a fix.

Yep, same here. Used like 33% within 3 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
These custom 2.1 ROMs really need proper power management. Auto brightness is one big battery saver; getting this to work would be my highest priority. As the Legend's hardware differs from the Hero's, the Legend kernel will probably be unusable for power management on the Hero.

My syptoms: the phone is way to hot during the day, the screen is not adapting to light or darkness (which is a usability feature as well) and the battery drains within daytime. It can't even last through the night which sucks as I use my Hero as my alarm clock ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -wilking-:
I'm not see pay apps on the market why ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reloaded10:
30 min later and still waiting, iv rolled back for now as need the phone for 2mora, think i'll wait till its a little more stable, problem is i can't

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It is stable. Did you wipe mate?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
I'd make it anonymous for viewing and login for posting to the bug tracker. You don't want to stop people from seeing bugs logged, but you don't want spam being pushed into the tracker such as via bots. That would defeat the purpose of trying to track bugs. YMMV.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Oh man, this is such a relief after Beta 1 (speed wise).

Nathan, you've done it again, this is awesome, thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reloaded10:
ye, nand backup, full wipe, the works!. dunno what happened, the annimation on first boot stopped too, noticed on other roms it keeps ticking over until sense loads....

I'll give it another go 2moz, my contacts are drying to my eyes and coffee is no longer working....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
@Nathan could you please check usb internet sharing? it worked with b1, and is not working with b2, however anetshare do work, but is slower and heats up phone.

thank you.

- Anonymous viewing will inspire people to file their issues too

- Require registration for filing issues; otherwise you couldn't have discussions and the issuers will want to be notified of changes on the issue.

Good ROM , congratulations.two queries. ONe, I used sprite backup but after restore contacts wouldn't come. Sms and settings restored but not the contacts. SOme java thing. ANy solution? Second, in gallery, is there any way me hiding some pic or their folder? Like in album you could keep download ones hidden if you want to? THanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Hi there. I have a few questions...

What is a WWE dump?

What are the major differences between this ROM and the BeHero (Legend) ROM

Is the fact that this is a WWE dump significant as the BeHero is not. (though the dev has released a test version which is WWE dump)

Many thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
OH DEAR, on boot I now get get "the application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".

Phone is basically unusable now. It was working fine a minute ago, I didnt do anything?!

I guess i'll have to wipe and flash all over again, yet again. This time with aHero. :D

wiki howto setup SD-card Apps2SD

Hello anon2122,

Could I ask you to fill a wiki page with instructions on howto setup an SD-card (size swap, fat, ext2/3) and howto use Apps2SD?

Would be great!

Thanks.

Jos
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. I agree with this, and there has been enough feedback that I'm going to make the reporting feature only available to registered users.

Again, keep the feedback coming! Read-only for unregistered users as of 5 minutes time...

This is probably better for the long run...

But keeping read access should encourage reports, since people are following up bugs.

I'm also thinking about giving everyone privileges to 'update' issues, any opinions on this? (being as everyone using it is going to be registered?) This may create more of a community-spirit in fixing issues...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Writing it now. It won't be perfect (I'm not gonna format my card to check the wording exactly, but maybe if you do it, you could correct any errors :))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Apps2SD

is my first attempt at it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Snepscheut:
yes, I have a spare card so I will try and report back.

thanks

Someone is really fast, as I was formating my card the wiki was already updated!

Every thing is okay now.

As always: thanks

Jos.

PS Natan still working on his secret mission?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zulle:
I edited it a little... hope u dont mind

Its the steps from the swedish wiki from swedroid.se
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK folks. A very kind xodeus on the new forums has told me how to use single-sign on for the wiki and bug tracker. So soon, you'll hopefully only need your forum password to use the other 2 sites...

Will this annoy people, or is this a step forwards?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Thanks for that clear guide.

I never used apps2sd before so i followed your guide but do i need to apply apps2sd fix as linked in 1 of the first posts?

And do i need to apply extra steps to make my current apps make use of apps2sd ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
SSO would be easier. Too many darn logins and passwords now! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No, that was for the old 4 beta 1, where nathan missed a file. The new one should work fine. Also, though I'm tired and can't quite remember fully, I don't think you'll need to do anything special to make it use the SD. The stuff should be moved across.

If you search this thread for 'cd /data' or 'ls -l', then you will find a command that you can run via adb to check that A2SD is set up right. Feel free to edit the wiki to add it, although I'd wait a minute, as I'm about to enable single-sign-on for the wiki.

@all.

The wiki may not behave predictably for the next minute or 2. VillainROM.co.uk forum passwords will be used shortly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
any news on speed and responsiveness enhancements? any fix in the phone lag issue?

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. wiki is now using single-sign on. If you wish to edit the wiki with a username, you'll need a forum password, which you can get from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/ucp.php?mode=register

This should be a better solution, and hopefully make people happier. Only 1 password to remember
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mardurhack:
Excuse me but I can't find nothing that matches my issue with this and other 2.1-Sense roms in post 3 (bugs and issues): overclock widget doesn't change cpu clock at all! It is ALWAYS set to 245-528 Mhz and there is not the possibility to decrease the lowest limit to 122-128 Mhz. May be this the reason because the phone drains battery even in sleep mode? Nathan what do you mean when you say "kernel has some issues"...Could you explain it completely? Thanks in advance ;) I would have been using this rom since 2 weeks if the battery life was comparable to a Modaco/stock 1.5 rom... :(

Can't post the link as I am new to this forum and I guess there are restrictions but if you google the above you'll find it in the first link.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:

Check Stiky in this section. All radios in there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ashes:
Main issues found till now:

* GPS not working (workaround is really a pain in the ass)

* Speed as increase, however it stills incredibly slow. Specially when using the contacts list, dialpad or when receiving/making a call, the phone completely freezes.

Nathan, if you have the opportunity, and off course, this is only my opinion, forget the little things and concentrate only in the main issues, as bug correction, speed issues, etc ...

Again, in my opinion, for a daily basis use, speed is one of the most important attributes ....

keep the good work, and congratz

Sense Force Close

Shame I had to remove the Rosie.apk because of continious force close of sense...the resulting android home is working quite well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] archivator:
I've been using this ROM for several days now and have not experienced the issues you're describing? Are you getting those after a fresh flash?

In my experience, aside from the initial slowness when first opening the contacts list, it's always snappy and responsive. No problems making a call either.

Anyone else use the News/Subscriptions app? I find it somewhat sluggish, especially when opened from the widget (takes almost two seconds to respond).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
Been using this today and after..

- Flashing 3 times

- Pulling two nandroid backups

- Rebooting at least 5 times

- Running WiFi for roughly 8 hours

- Listening to 3 hours of music

- About one hour of surfing

- Half an hour of intensive FriendStream usage

- Auto sync for everything but weather

- Running aNetShare for half an hour with an active client

The battery is at 35%. Impressive! VillainROM 3.x would be dead meat by now. And it's fast! Not sure wether it's as fast as 3.4, but it's certainly fast enough for me. It's especially faster when switching between apps. I was browsing around and I could jump between windows, copy text across apps, open contacts from web pages, check locations with maps without a single hickup. Love it! Only issue is the occassional FC on com.android.gapps (I believe it's called)

Just looking for a way to apply the Villain 3.4 skin to this. Loved that one.

Little late, but in case others got this problem as well, I flashed 3 times this morning while on the train as I kept ****ing up some stuff, and then it wouldn't load the APN settings thing which is a known bug. When I got to work I tried to go on the WiFi and download the APN Backup ap, wouldn't work. Stuck on starting download. I gave up on it and a few hours ago mail started to come in. Suddenly the 3G connection came to life. Didn't change a single setting though.

This seems Vodafone NL specific, KPN NL SIM's don't have this issue. Unfortunately I don't have any further details, but the MMS settings mmszap is showing aren't complete. The lack the proxy and the mmsc adress.

@nathan: When my loan comes in next week I'll donate, you deserve it :)

Actually HTC should donate to you.. Hmm..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rashidi_zin:
Hi. I have just installed the ROM. It seems that there's a problem with Facebook sync. It loads some of my friends twice while the rest didn't get load at all.

Does anyone else facing this problem?

Ignore this: It seems that it got fixed after re-synchronized. xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gr3m1in:
I second this issue, I've also seen it in 3.4

When downloading sometimes it doesnt show up in the market that you are indeed downloading the app or installing it, and sometimes it just appears to stay 'starting download' even when it's installed, yet by pressing the back button and then going back to the download page the issue seems to go until next time

somtimes the issue pops up, sometimes it doesnt so I'm sure not many people have noticed it since they back up and restore their apps, I havent done a backup yet when flashing so i reload all my apps manually
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Repeating the question again, any insight ?

-------------------

Do I really need to use App2SD ? Even with 30MB, it's not used as system RAM right ?

Do I get speed advantage by moving the apps to SD ?

If so, wat is the suggested partition size ? 100MB should be more than sufficient ?

Also the keyboard seemed to lag more than on the first beta. I look forward to your next release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Yes, all these problems have already been filed in.

As for the keyboard, turn off heptic feedback in settings.

You can actually use an app called "Terminal Emulator" available in the market to verify by typing the exact same commands. That's how I checked mine since I have a mac and I haven't quite figured it out how to to do it with a mac.

Just make sure that you type in su before you type in the rest of the commands suggested by anon 'cause you need to be able to do it as a root user.

Free internal memory

I wanted to mention something that some other people mentioned: the lack of internal memory free after installing all applications.

Now, I have only 32Mb free.

With the same app I had 70-80 Mb free in all ROMs I tried, even Villain 3.4.

With one exception

: BEHERO 1.3.2 (also based on Legend).

I know that apps2sd is working for me.

I know also that I can move davil-cache to SD, but I don't want do it. I think perhaps phone will be a bit faster with davil-cache in internal memory. And really we don't need much free memory.

Is it coincidence that I was so little free memory only in the ROM based on Legend?
