Right so it would seem orange are retards and removed my data plan but after speaking to some nice girl i have £20 back and the data plan added.

however she sees no reason why it would not be working but is sending an "update text message" out to see if that works, although i have my doubts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinlow:
Well..i never have my exchange mail work before..always having connection error during setup..

I can only use a third party mail app..any other advice?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Really struggling here to get my phone working.

Dammit.

Think I have found a nandroid I can use, then we will have to see about my 3g connection.

I am really not happy with orange this time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zhezhan:
Try this fix:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
Yes, this fixed it. Now I get steady sleep cycles when not using the phone!

Done this and have yet to see a another Sense restart. Fingers crossed ;)

I confirm this, I've also had this happening multiple times

Check you GPS setting, make sure to disable it, then reboot. I had the same thing before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinlow:
Thanks..tried that before..but I always get the error msg "Failed to create account.Please try later" after verification account..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
If anyone cares :)

I now have to wait 24 hours apparently before my data will resume (fun fun fun!!!)

Thank god for nandroid's ey

So if anyone wants me to do anything data wise on my phone for testing/bug fixing today I can't sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I presume you've now called orange's high level customer relations and kicked up a big enough fuss to get something free?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
They have added my data plan back (which apparently I am not entitled to) which was a bonus and credited me everything back that they have incorrectly charged me (as a result of removing my data plan)

All I am left with is a big bill this month, a small bill next month (due to credit being delayed) and a day without internet, assuming that it corrects itself tomorrow like I have been told.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
Fixed after a reboot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:
is OBEX supposed to work in this ROM?

i'm not able to send a file to my pc.

i tried sending it through astr as well as through the 'Bluetooth File Transfer' app.

according to the phone bluetooth monitor the pc is paired, but not connected ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
so nathan did you manage to improve the speed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Yeah, the peep widget seem to need a manual refresh as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] D3_:
Some battery life info for those who want to know more about it:

Last time I unplugged my phone was yesterday at 12:25pm (after noon, not midnight) with 91% battery life.

Now, about 24 hours and 5 minutes later, the battery is at 50% (total time since unplugged 24 hours and 8 minutes)

Screen brightness set to max, wifi always on

I should also say that all my home screens are completely filled with shortcuts or widgets.

about 45 mins of talking on the phone, 25 or so minutes playing music at full volume with phone's speaker, not earphones, 30-40 minutes of web browsing (loading full sites, not mobile sites), not too much usage other than that.

No app/task killers were used during that time, so that was all under Androids own task/memory management.

Using app/task killers really improves speed with this rom, there was quite a bit of lag without using them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beachdemon:
is the speed of the sense UI really that laggy? i'm unsure on whether to flash this just yet, especially if speed tweaks are just around the corner...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yes it lags, but it is not unusable, there have been slower roms in the past.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Depends on your definition of laggy... yes, it's slower than 3.4 but it's faster than stock IMHO
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Haven't had a single problem since I flashed this, excluding the startup problem I fixed. Except for one thing, the only language in my keyboard language list is English, is that normal?

I could change the language manually by editing the xml file and it seems to work fine, however I need to switch back and forth between English and Swedish, so that's not really an option.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I know exactly what's causing the speed issue now.

100% certain, tested and confirmed.

Here's the situation/options:

1. I can apply my fix, which will take hours of work. Literally, hours. I can start on it tonight, then hopefully have it finished tomorrow.

2. RaiderX has provided me with another possibility after I chatted to him on GTalk.. which will probably fix the issue. The problem right now is, we haven't completely figure out how to fix it.

So, what I am going to do, is make a start on the epic task of fixing the speed tonight. If Raider comes up with his far quicker solution in the mean time, I will revert to his fix.

One thing I can promise you, is that the next build will be brilliant. Probably as close to the real Hero 2.1 rom as we're going to get.

I've made some other modifications and changes over the past few days which should all be present in the next release.

I'm not quite sure about adding other languages, as it's already an incredibly packed rom. With the languages added, it'll only clog it up even further. I'll look into making an update.zip for each additional language when I have time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Sounds great, hope i get my internet issue sorted out by then.

Hope you have fxed/can fix the APN force close issue (even though there is a workaround) and the default lockscreen issue (not sure if this can actually be fixed).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Your consistent impatience really amuses me :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
From what I could see the languages were already there (or at least it used the Swedish dictionary).

Sounds great btw, really looking forward to the next release.

Wi-Fi issue

I have manually added 3 new Wi-Fi networks. Since then, the automatic login into a available network no longer functions. To obtain a connect i must go into settings -> Wireless&networks -> Wi-Fi settings, press the menu button and click 'Scan'. The same issue i noticed also in 3.4.

When i remove the manually added networks everthing is ok again.

Is there an solution for it?

Thanks at all and forgive my poor english.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
From my experience battery life is very dependent on network reception. In an area with low reception, my battery flies empty like a six-pack of beer on a summer day. Unfortunately, my bedroom seems to be such a place :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PrinzEisenherz1:
Hi nathan, have you found a solution for the GPS problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holywood:
Great to hear Nathan's working on the speed fix!

One question though, i've noticed (and if i'm not mistaken Lennyuk mentioned something similar somewhere earlier) that speed drops significantly after some time of use. After like 60 hours of using it without reboot i'm at a point where opening settings menu took literally half a minute and i was not able to enter an address in the browser, cause every touch was interpreted as a long press and backspace deleted 2-3 characters ;) this is with only mail and messages opened in the background. Kind of weird, as at the beginning, after i removed the friendstream widget speed was rather ok.

So the question is, do you think that abovementioned speed fix will address this issue as well, or is it something caused by some other bug?

Other than that no other issues, everything works really well :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mick70:
Been using this ROM all over the weekend now... best ROM I ever had on my Hero! :D

Keep up the good work!

I only have 2 issues:

-Facebook sync is not working

-Friendstream does no auto update

Apart from that all works fine incl. GPS and email sync.

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
facebook sync will work just like in all previous roms.

Best to attempt it on 3g and remove your account, reboot add it back and then wait...... and several hours later it should all be there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mick70:
Maybe, we did not get the same point... I did not write it most precise...

I cannot bind Contacts to Facebook Friends... that is the issue...

News from Facebook are coming in exactly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The quick fix isn't looking very likely.

Looks like it'll be the long fix after all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
what I said still stands, it will sync eventually you just need to try it several times.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
nah i think im patient, you released 4.0 last week and u said you will release speed update sun/mon but i said i'll wait for tuesday so im still on 3.4 . = patient imo :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
I am in a very good reception area, 4 bars - Hdspa nearly all the time if I use it. But I getting a 3-4% reduction in battery every 20 mins, and I'm not even using the phone AT ALL!

If I do make a call it drops even faster even for a short call.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Its more down to switching signals that seems to drain the battery, if itspermanently set on 2G or 3G rather than switching battery life goes far better
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
I'm impressed that it appears to be such a cut and dry issue, apart from a few exceptions, most of the Hero builds have quite often felt slow, and the current Villain Legend Beta 4.0 is still a lot better than many I'd tried in the past. I must say though, the week or so I was using Villain 3.4 (based on the Eris leak) was the quickest, most responsive I'd seen the phone.

Amazing to see what the community is capable of!!

*facepalm* I shouldn't repeat it again, as I'm just feeding the trolls, so to speak, but the rudeness and impatience within the Android community absolutely amazes me. I've been involved in many similar communities in the past, from computer/hardware/overclocking enthusiasts, linux (Gentoo/Ubuntu/etc/etc), games, photography, Symbian hacking, etc and I've never encountered anything like this before. I don't know whether its just XDA, immature/young members with no manners, a language barrier (lots of non English speakers here), but some people could do with a lesson in communication and manners!

Keep up the good work, and don't be fazed by the ****e, not that you've ever appeared to have been bothered by it in the slightest.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Can't seem to insert an image in edit mode - so I have to do it this way.

During that time (as shown in image) - the phone had all switched off and screen was off too, phone was not used either.

(btw, possible #Bugs it f/c's when you try to go into "Access Point Names" under "Mobile network settings")

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
Please check "Settings - About phone - Battery". Compare uptime and awake time.

Mine e.g. is 1:14:02 versus 0:16:18.

That means that my phone is on for 1 hour, 14 minutes since previous reboot, and about 58 minutes of that where in a sleep state. My battery is still at 100% at this time...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Can someone on Orange UK confirm that their 3g is working today?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
@NPrussell so out of curiosity, what is the long fix anyway?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaxted:
Lenny, Orange UK 3G appears to be working fine for me at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ok then it is just me then, thanks. Guess I will have to wait till tomorrow and if it is still not working get angry with them on the phone again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Lenny, Orange 3G is fine on my Hero (Villain 4.0)

HSPDA is working fine also
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
It is Orange after all Lenny, famous for telling us on a daily basis that the problem with one blackberry device not receiving mail is down to our Blackberry server then the device miraculously receiving a "your services have been updated, please reboot your device" text.

I always wait 15 minutes now before bothering to check the server as I know it will suddenly fix itself after Orange have been contacted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I don't want to bore you to death, but put simply:

The Rosie in Villain 4.0 is using 3D for its animations and transitions. Eris build, and Benham's BeHero do not use 3D.

Our phones can't handle the 3D effects on the UI.

I've completely fixed the speed simply by using the Rosie.apk from the Eris leak. The problem is, due to the classes.dex file in rosie.apk looking for the wrong images in the framework, it's massively glitching the UI.

The LONG fix, is to find every single PNG which is glitching, and replace/remover/rename them. That's the long fix.

The short fix is RaiderX's work, and he's helping me with it as we speak.

I didn't realise how good a dev he actually is.

If Raider helps me with this and gets it working, you'll have this rom in a few hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gc48067:
+1

Have you been in more than one cell...have seen this with a single cell being faulty and not providing 3G, had the problem at work (but 3G fine at home which was confusing).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I'm pretty sure the problem is due to orange's inadequacy's and they removed my data plan which apparently will be back by tomorrow morning. if its not then the fault obviously lies else where and I will have to speak with them again (and probably receive one of their magic texts)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
I take it there isnt a way to streamline the naming process automatically, say by a query that replaces the names in the dex file rather than the other way round?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It's okay. I think we have it sorted :)

By we, I actually mean Raider. I just need to fix some of the graphical glitches.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
I'm sure you just made ermacwins very happy....

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Out of curiosity will it be in the form of an update or a full wipe again?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
wow impressive work both of you.

btw did u add the reboot phone as an option?

will u release next build tonight?

*becomes more impatient*
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Very well done Raider (and of course you Nathan).

I second the question of wiping? Although I wipe most of the time anyway, and worked out how to get the best from titanium backup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
ODEX'd?

10 char.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It depends. Due to changes in the framework, it may require a full wipe.

I'll let you know when I know
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Don't completely hold your breath on the release...

There are some pretty serious graphical glitches to fix, and I'm not out of work until 7 tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
lol i bet u r 2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
as always take your time, release it when your ready.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Murphy's first law, I will wait until I see the download link (read in a Sir Alec Guiness voice)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
We are all using a pretty stable ROM so I think we all agree that we would rather wait a few days to get the fixes done than having an incomplete image.

Take your time Nathan, you do some great work and people should just have some patience.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:
soo, just wondering... if you switch to the eris-rosie, does that mean rosie won't be as shiny as in the beta? :eek: ah, well... i suppose speed before beauty (as i always tell my girlfriend :rolleyes: )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm not sure what you mean by shiny...

You won't even be able to tell I have switched it ;)

Well... unless we can't fix this graphical glitch. Then it'll look daft.

FYI - I'll probably be Odexing the files too as per RaiderX's recommendation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
so the coloured icons will remain?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko3qtFEp7VM 2:00 onwards which ever icon you press it changes colour
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Yes, I believe those icons are in the apps themselves, not rosie.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I was gonna reply by pm, but the details are posted, so I'll do so here, Nathan.

I think something kendon has done may help with languages and to odex or not to odex :) But not ready for the big-time quite yet...

Hope your work with raider is doing well, and as usual give me a shout if you have anything needing done (not home yet, but will be within the hour)

Also folks, I think our mirrors may be ready for next release. (1 in uk, 1 in Norway, 1 in Canada). Let me know when you near release and I'll get the upload command looked out...

This next rom sounds like a good one...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ok cool, i think this is a neat touch that maybe be absent on official hero rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
If it is built into the apps then I don't see why we won't have it in the official rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arkkimede:
Ase and Python

Hi!

I'm using the 3.4 version and I have problems with the

ase application to run a python script.

Do you know if this problem is due to the rom or to the app?

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Très cool! :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
So the 3D problem is really something we need a kernel programmer for then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
or just wait for the new kernal in a few weeks time :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
Anyone else having problems with bluetooth? In the 3.4 build it worked fine, but with the legend leak it does connect but the sound isn't transfered.

Also when i try to turn on the handsfree speaker when it's not connected to bluetooth I hear no sound.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
What do you mean with:

" Download Spare Parts from market and set transitions to FAST."

I will test the ROM and post my opinion about this :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mutasim:
There is an app in the Marketplace called "Spare Parts" there will be a setting on that app to set "Transitions" to "Fast"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
Let's hope that they will release the kernel then ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stephenophof:
Bluetooth file transfer works fine here, so I suppose Bluetooth is working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipak2010:
Blank screen when receiving calls

Hi Russell, have been using this rom since u released it, it awesome, but one thing i have noticed is that there is a big lag before the caller id shows up, sometimes this means missing the call, is that to do with the speed issues ur trying to fix??? Also the browser sometimes randomly closes. keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
Well I can connect without a problem, but there just is no sound.

I have the same issue with BeHero, I just tested it. So it seems this is related to the Legend leak.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
He stucks on the boot screen Quietly Brilliant for 5 minutes now. Is this normal?

EDIT: Sorry did took long. But works now. Gonna test it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
I made a call using my car's integrated BlueTooth and it worked fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emadsami:
I've installed minfree tweak, applied the moderate preset, applt at boot... reboot, and now the rom is running amazingly fast with home screens full of widgets and shortcuts + VPN always on... I can say that I have the same speed as Modaco's 3.1 with no lags at all

@Nathan, thanks again for the great work, unfortunately my English won't help to show how I'm appreciate the work done in that Rom, thanks for you and for all developers helped you to get this rom in that shape...

@minfree developer, thanks for the great app/tweak, I'm using it since released, but this time make a real different on that rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
I installed Autokiller only so I could ensure the settings are set to Android defaults. My phone runs fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
I just did sometesting and using logcat while making a call (without bluetooth).

When I press the button which should activate the handsfree speaker this is the result with the Legend build (4.0)

I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 175): Routing audio to Bluetooth CARKIT
I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 175): doAudioRouteOrMute() device 4, mMode 2, mMicMute 1
D/HTC Acoustic( 175): msm72xx_enable_audpp: 0x0000

And this is the result with the Eris build (3.4)

I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 50): Routing audio to Handset
I/AudioHardwareMSM72XX( 50): doAudioRouteOrMute() device 0, mMode 2, mMicMute 1
D/HTC Acoustic( 50): msm72xx_enable_audpp: 0x0000

The Eris does work and the setting change also makes sense.

I think bluetooth transfers the sound incorrectly too, anyone have a clue why this happens?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fleming222:
Seconded.

Great Work Russel!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] v33r3n:
#bug

Hey I been havin the same problem as dipak2010 with caller Id taking ages to appear. any fix on that, also finding the battery drain worse than villain3.3 even thou fone is sleepin now so that sleep and up time are differnt.

Hopefully nathan knows about these prob and using his genuis mind to sort them out in the new Rom he's sorting out at the mo. Also was wonderin if an update could be made available for the 3.4 theme. Really liked it.

Again just wana thank Nathan for all his work and hope it continues for a Long time to come.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ive got a slight lag on 3.4 when seeking in an mp3 file, does this exist in 4.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nemo0815:
I have no more weather. It shows up after the phone booted up (in HTC Clock widget), but disappears soon after.

Also when i open the HTC weather app i can refresh the weather data but some seconds later the screen goes black showing "no weather data available" for my location...

However, this worked some days now. But since today it's not working anymore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
yep there was a lag for me when i answered the phone and didnt know who i was speaking to untill a few seconds later.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lodger:
also got lag on caller id, and no sound oover bluetooth handsfree....other than that spot on really
