[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorach:
i have modif build.prop too solve the problem

the 4 first line make this problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
My work was 'done' by getting it to boot into sense. I tried to pass on my boot img to nathan via google talk, but it didn't work last night. I don't know what went wrong, but I ftp'd the file onto the EU server's root directory. I sent nathan the link, but didn't hear back from him. Then I must have fallen asleep, and the next I know is this morning I had a gtalk message at 2am asking if I'd uploaded it...

So, I've resent nathan the link via pm on villainrom.co.uk and gtalk, and emailed it to him, in the hope it gets through finally :)

I don't have much dev time today, but I think a little bit of hardware driver footering is all that is required (/system/lib/hw I think)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
you get this email the first time you flash any 2.1 rom (you only get it the once as i guess google remembers)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
No problem for me, which OS are u using, did you try other USB port?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
Somehow after restoring all my apps, this ROM start to response slower than 3.4. Is there any tweak to improve on this, I tried remove some of the HTC Sense widget but still lags a bit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
For some reason, I didn't get Pulser's boot.img, so I made my own.

I had to reinstall Ubuntu, as it was completely borked.

Anyway, working on the hardware now. Not quite as simple as dragging files into a folder unfortunately
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. Sorry about that. I think in future we should agree to use the protected forum on villainrom.co.uk for posting files. I think google talk may be doing some URL filtering :(

You having any luck. I looked at popping across the drivers for lights etc. but realised I don't really know enough about this to do it myself yet, and I can't really 'waste' time learning this week... That's what May is for :) (maybe late April if I do well in my exemptions;))

I think Maxo (or whatever the name was) may be able to help, since he got the old eris ROM going on the hero, although I would imagine nathan will be able to do this himself with no troubles :) Benocharm may also be able to assist if we hit trouble.

I'm not sure how good a base this ROM will be, since we'll be back to the old CDMA-port issues with SIM cards etc. and there should be an official rom in the not-too-distant future...

But I'd still like to get this going, so I may look at it later after I've done some work and done some work on the forum...

EDIT: @nathan, have you managed to get the acore and phone f/cs to stop? I guess we need the actual 'radio' hardware driver (I didn't try any drivers, as I think I fell asleep before I got round to looking at it :D)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
Hi Nathan, I am currently devving on an app to disable the enforcing of the Exchange lockscreen, which seems to work :P

In the meantime I was keeping an eye on LogCat and saw that actually no light sensor events come through when auto brightness is enabled.

What actually happens when I enable auto brightness and close the dialog box, a log is showing up saying:

03-28 15:30:17.876: DEBUG/Sensors(102): using /dev/input/event5 (name=lightsensor-level)
03-28 15:30:17.876: DEBUG/Sensors(102): using /dev/input/event4 (name=compass)
03-28 15:30:17.896: DEBUG/Sensors(2865): data__data_open: compass fd = 47
03-28 15:30:17.896: DEBUG/Sensors(2865): data__data_open: light fd = 48

...

03-28 15:30:19.856: DEBUG/PowerManagerService(102): New lightsensor value:90, lcdValue:90
03-28 15:30:20.226: VERBOSE/HtcAlertDialog(2865): onStop
03-28 15:30:20.236: INFO/HtcAlertDialog(2865): deinitSensor

The deinitSensor method is called everytime you dismiss the dialog, either if you apply the setting or if you cancel the dialog.

This may mean that the hardware is doing fine, the module may be loaded, but the PowerManagerService is never doing anything with the events. My guess is the System Preferences app is incompatible with the Hero's kernel/HAL?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
The light sensor h/w and driver is doing fine, an event device is present and listens to light intensity change events, but the sensor is not registered in the PowerManagerService as far as I can tell.

<wishful thinking>Someone (@HTC) please give me the Legend sources and I'll fix them for the Hero :)</wishful thinking>
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
IIRC, nathan thought he had a fix for this on the legend ROMs a day or 2 ago. I'm sure he can let us know if that was successful or not...

Hold on. I remember where it was. I read it when I was making nathan's blog up. It's at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/blog.php, and it's the post named 'Work Started on VillainROM 4 Beta 3'.

I'm not sure if this CDMA rom will be good enough to make a general Villain release from... Any views yet, nathan, since you've probably tried it more than me (I could only stutter my way through the setup wizard, ignoring acore & phone f/cs)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I was referring to the trackball light driver btw. I should have been clearer... I take it you realise I'm talking about the new CDMA leak here, and not villain :) So, folks, if you're not interested in devving a port of CDMA-GSM, don't do anything I mention here ;) (unless I'm answering a question for someone)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Beg your pardon, Pulser... I did receive it. In Junk for some reason.

FYI to all - I have the CDMA port 90% working it seems.

Having issues with WIFI atm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
So will this now be based on the CDMA hero leak then?

Miss a little while and I miss a lot.

I will be in court for the next 3 days now so not much internet time at all guess I will miss even more :D

Keep up the good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
lol. This one only has trouble with wifi and gps atm, so this could feasibly be useful. Apparently fast too!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
WIFI & GPS STill not working.

Automatic brightness is now working in the CDMA port. It's as fast as the Eris leak and as feature rich as the legend build. A VERY nice rom indeed.

It's just the problem with WIFI and GPS holding the release up. I've tried 5 or 6 things now to no avail.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
Did you have to do anything to get it working or did it already out of the box?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Just needed permissions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Is that something we can just fix in Villain4.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm chatting to nathan on gtalk, so i'll have a look and ask him if i don't get anywhere

EDIT: No, this is not going to be possible. Wait for another release maybe ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samadhi23:
hey ... now testing your new build ... is there no more facebook contact synchronisation? .... i linked all my 500contacs with facebook acounts in your 3.4 build ... made i something wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
I asked on twitter but got no response, does the new leak have the unified widget adding?

Meaning, there is no more seperated HTC and Android widgets?

Because if that's the case then I believe we're much closer to the actual final rom.

And that leak if ported completely would run much better then any legend port would.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
yes. The widgets all appear in the one list, but they are marked as different... So not what you're looking at... I'll check about this new one tho
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Currently waiting for it to boot up on two phones... slight different builds

AHHHH.. WIFI ISSUES :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I wouldn't mind trying it. Never use wifi anyway so...:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nemo0815:
So i guess there won't be a new beta today?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just wait... I honestly don't know, but it's worth waiting. Nathan's working on it as I type :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Better to wait until this one is ready to be honest. The beta is almost done, but I'd much rather release this port today, as nobody else has yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
It would be a good thing for the issue tracker score to just release an intermediate version every now and then; just concentrate on a bug or two, make a release and have the community tick them off as 'fixed'. After a few interations you could end up with a solid release, which is then thoroughly tested.

Don't wait too long or be distracted from the major issues! :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
differences

if you ever get wifi working what advantages/disadvantages does the cdma built have over the legend build? I know the cmda build is faster but is that the only difference?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gr3m1in:
just curious, Is there much point in continuing with the Legend leak beyond beta 3 when this rom as you put it has eris speed and legend funtionality? wouldn't it be better into putting the effort into this instead?

either way lets hope you get the wifi fixed on this leak asap so we can all play with it soon :D You're a bloody miracle worker!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This is from much more similar hardware, and should therefore be faster. It's also less 'cobbled together' and should be better for hero...

Closer to what we're all waiting on officially anyway. There's word this is an almost final (maybe final) build...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] v33r3n:
Hey sori to go off topic and take away fron the excited of beta3, which I cant wait for but I jus was reading an earlier post about improving battery life and found it wprked quite well so I short is reiterate it. Props to hu initially came up with the Idea but it works well. I'm on 51% at 16hrs which is amazin since normally I can't get more than 7hrs.

All I did was wait till I got to about 10% battery and then turned fone on in amon ra wiped battery stats and rebooted. Then ran the battery till the fone turned off by itself. I then charged it while it was off till the green light showed, and UNPLUGGED it then turned it on. Thats It.

Worked well for me hope It works for u and keep up the good work Nathan et al.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
good

well that sounds good, and while i got the chance I just want to thank you both (nathan and anon2122) for this awesome rom :) and good luck trying to get the wifi to work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It's mainly nathan, I just talk to him on gtalk and get in the way :p

I'm don't think we've got anywhere with wifi yet though :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Still can't get in to wiki, forum or blog :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Weird. It's fine here. Could you ping '85.25.236.58' and post the results?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
That seems to work just fine :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Could you try visiting http://villainrom.grense.no/villainrom.co.uk/

That should be the same site...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
That also works fine :)

Can't view the blog thou
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
So, there are now two possible ROMs in the making:

A Legend dump (Currently Beta2 and future Beta3)

A complete Eris dump that was hacked for GSM (Most feature rich and stable, close to Hero. No Wifi working)

Is this correct?

Shouldn't the work be focused on the Eris leak since well... it's more optimized to the Hero CPU?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fonzpda:
I find this beta 2 extremely slow. I am going back to 3.4 for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
There is also what looks to be an official HTC Hero CDMA ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
.no domain

sorry to go completely off topic but how did you register a .no domain? last time i checked only organizations and companies registered in norway had the right to own .no domains, I didn't think a private person like yourself could register it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not my domain :) I got hosting off a kind mcduck1, who lent us a subdomain to get going (he runs a business in Norway as a web host)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange... That is exactly the same site, just that the blog, wiki and bug links don't work.

You can get access to them though if you type /villainrom.co.uk/ between the domain name and the page or folder name.

But really the .co.uk name should work for you.

Just to be sure we're all going to the same page, try this link... Does it work?

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/blog.php

It should be nathan's blog...

This is weird, and I don't think I can fix it, since no-one else is experiencing this...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This CDMA ROM is the one that is currently being worked on ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raajkay:
Any chance that the ROM will be released today?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Nop, no luck with the link. I'll try to reboot my modem and router.

Maybe something there.

Nop, no difference :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
I'm really pumped for the final Eris build since it will awfully close to the 2.1 HTC build for Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
afaik it's the sprint hero and not a new eris rom.

Then again, there have been leaks for both (a new eris rom leak too) so I'm not sure which he is working on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gr3m1in:
Its already been stated his working on the CDMA Hero leak and that its a brilliant rom he just cant get wifi working on it yet

his latest blog entry talks about it too

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/blog.php/

personally I think if its as good as he says it is the Eris port should be dropped and all attention put towards the CDMA leak since it was designed for the hero itself
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kelthizar:
Wouldn´t care about the missing Wifi. Maybe its even better, releasing it like that, to find more bugs:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
Newsflash: Eris is CDMA too.

I'm not quite sure what the rest of your post is about because it just says things that have already been mentioned.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gr3m1in:
Yeah, id have said Eris CDMA leak if thats what I was talking about mate...

There has been a leak for the CDMA Hero on Sprint yesterday or the day before now, almost final/final release quality thats what is being worked on and ported the only issue is wifi isnt working yet on the port

but i was just backing you up to the guy you replied to, it wasnt directed at you mate sorry if you thought that

Edit: I accidentally quoted you and not him (its almost 5am here so forgive the mistake)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
That's okay, I thought it was a little strange but now it makes sense :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
+1

WIFI is the only thing i don't care about. 3G does the job just fine so afaic this ROM can be released tonight.

I for one would be very happy with it if it is so much better compared to the current beta.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
First things first: WIFI is still broken.

Bluetooth & GPS untested, but they are easy to fix.

You will be pleased to know that I am uploading this as a VERY, VERY early alpha tonight. It's uploading as we speak.

The release is mainly for those of you happy to test it out, knowing that a lot of features will possibly not work yet. I will get around to fixing them when I have some time, but I'm off out to the cinema with my lady friend when it's uploaded.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
Enjoy your date :)

and don't bore her with talk of the new firmware you working on :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
Indeed, I don't really care for Wifi since I have a data plan, if everything else is stable and 100% functional, I'll take it.

And have fun on the date
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
There could be a couple of other things not working - as I say, I haven't even tested GPS and BT.

Oh, and thanks ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Thanks Nathan,

We'll see what its like. I am still on 3.4 now and I hope this one will have less crashes on my phone than the 2 earlier beta's.

Enjoy the movie and behave :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Yeah, no wifi will do for now. By the time you're back there should be some feedback about possible bugs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I do hope Blue Tooth audio will work tho but I'll test that as soon as i got the rom running.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
@ALL:

I am about to create a new bugtracker section for this, and forum section (on the villainrom forums at www.villainrom.co.uk)

Please keep discussion of this ROM in there, since it helps us deal with bugs and issues more effectively.

This ROM is called 'VillainROM ALPHA CDMA Port' at the moment on the forum and bugtracker, until nathan chooses a name.

EDIT: OK. Done now. You will be asked what project to post under on the bugtracker now. Choose the alpha option if you try the new build...

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Beagan:
HELP!

when i flash this rom or your newvillian 3.4 it stays on the htc quietly brillian screen i really need help pm if you can :P please!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
I'd be more then happy to test it for ya ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] damooman:
You need to do a full wipe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jaco90:
I'm also more than willing to test this for you. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcduck1:
Awesome! *makes nandroid backup*
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kelthizar:
I guess full wipe is needed ?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
WHere will it be uploaded to?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcduck1:
Its currently beeing uploaded to www.villainrom.co.uk. So it will be a direct link.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Get ready, topic is there ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
Why not a new topic here?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Well, we're trying to keep things findable, and having them all in one place certainly helps folk. The bugtracker is also connected to the server, so having both in place makes sense. Also, we don't want to end up with 7000 posts, like the 3.4 thread. Then no-one can find anything :(

Both links are now up. I'm making a third and fourth right now :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
We should have our own (Villainette) bootscreen instead of nexus style ;)

note: 1ste booting takes ages :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] okdac:
+1:D, ages...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
At least we have the nexus1 bootscreen again now. the slow version this time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
I'm tempted to report a bug on the bug tracker titled "Wifi not working" whilst the nexus bootscreen is doing its job.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Hehe

Can take a while for my feedback as i'm logging every action done ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Hmm, what happenend to Rosie? And interesting Lockscreen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
So far so good, not a single FC yet, not even the know bugs from 4.0 beta 2 (i hope i didn't missed any)

Apps2sd seems to work half, i'm missing the cache.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptm:
ANyone having issues getting a data connection using the Alpha build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] okdac:
hi all, :p

Dindn't wipe from Villain4Beta2

1. Sooo faaaast

2. can't rotate screen.

3 No WiFi but GPS OK (nav works)

4. friendstream doesn't work (maybe due to contact not syncing on FB)

5. 3G connection OK

talk to you later, after some more testing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samadhi23:
got anyone also NO facebook syncronisation???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
As this was a completely differnt base you should have wiped. Things wont work as they should and any bugs you report won't be reliable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
Facebook sync works for me but I used the "trick" reported earlier - letting Google contact finish syncing before adding my FB account.

So far the new alpha release is working really well on my Hero. Fast and responsive! The only real bug I've discovered so far apart from the wifi thing is that rotating the screen doesn't work.

I'll testdrive the new ROM some more tomorrow and report back. Thanks for what looks like a very solid release! :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samadhi23:
thx man ..... i`ll try it !!!!! also testing the new releases ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
wrong forum sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
sorry , wrong forum..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
In the new alpha ROM, does anyone know what the blue and orange arrows represent? I thought it was the sync icon but it is always visible even with autosync disabled.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
Accelerometer doesn't work, label not visible while trying to choose type of contacts to display. This Rom is VERY fast :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptm:
Also,whats the metallic green circle thingy?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Battery (right?).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samadhi23:
yeah battery .... looks nice ... but back to beta2 ... does anybody have an solution for the facebook problem? ... i cannot link my contacts ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
moved

wrong forum sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
I can confirm previous mentioned bugs found in Villainette, also having issues with apps2sd for dalvik which can't be fixed with current available fix for 4.0 beta's

Also to bad they screwed up theme, would prefer stock and apply my own theme if i want but it's not a big issue.

Battery consumption seems to be ok btw
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zekharyahu:
Am I the only one who thinks this ROM is not fast at all? I mean... it's just slow. The phone has to reboot

at least

every day to remain responsive. Even alarm clock delays for 6 a 7 minutes before it goes of. Lol :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
I have to say it is not as fast as previous.

Don't know what's wrong. Previous ROMs were great.

It reboots sometime on its own. Also when I receive a phone call, it takes more than 10 sec. to show me who is calling... until that I get a black screen with no response to any button.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zekharyahu:
Well, that's the exact problem I've got. Try setting your alarm, you'll see that after your phone is running more than a day the alarm delays for like minutes.

Don't much about this, but looks like a big memory leak somewhere?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
Let's wait for a reply from the guru (the writer)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Has there been any info about the black screen delay when answering calls??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
Is beta 3 that was almost done going to be released?

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gr3m1in:
it was previously suggested by nprussel that people might try to convert the ringtone from .mp3 to .ogg and see if that helped the issue other than that I've heard nothing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] michael_ch:
+1! I would highly appreciate this, since it still seems much more stable than 5.0-beta.
