Of course, I added the DMAgent fix. It was a service that was running almost every second and causing massive battery drain. It's the fix other ROMs have used too, and it's quite stable to have it disabled on GSM phones.

I was just saying how the battery life compares to 1.5 for me as assurance. To be honest I don't think I could have ever managed to charge every 2 days even on 1.5, if that's the kind of thing you're expecting from this ROM then this probably isn't for I'm afraid.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
refrained from flashing till google sync fixed. will be eager to see if battery lasts longer than 12 hrs. also any issues with hotmail as i keep getting probs as only 'windows expired new letter' message. only wid sense roms as others like ahero syncs hotmail no probs. using villain 3.2 right now till gsync sorted

Hi, good job!

Need help )) - how i can use Auto A2SD?

Need i say some magic words for start this function? And what should I do with microsd-card?

1 action - Partition SD.

And should I make the second action - SD: ext2 to ext3?

And should I make the third action - SD: ext3 to ext4?

In russian:

должен я сказать какое-нибудь волшебное слово чтобы заработала эта функция? И что я должен сделать с microsd-карточкой?

1 действие - Partition SD.

Должен я сделать второе действие - SD:ext2 to ext3

И должен я сделать третье действие - SD:ext3 to ext4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
no one had 2 days on 1.5 rom even official htc. you'd have to disable a few things to get that kinda usage. most i got outta 1.5 was 1.5 days max if left to fully drain. if i can get 24hrs off it then i'd be happy. i tend to charge nightly with most of my phones so its not an issue then. google sync fixed yet as i am dying to flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
Yup, found the problem with Sync. Looks like there's a about half hour til the ROMs uploaded.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
I've tried to create a patch zip file to save me uploading the full ROM and saves you having to flash everything.

Can someone please install and confirm that Google Sync now works.

Download here - also added in first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
great job man great job. like to see a chef that cares dude. waiting patiently for update so can flash and use. better battery life is a draw to any of these roms in my opinion. 12hrs .......sheesh! not acceptable at all!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xavi_7_77:
Hi, thanks for this rom!

The flash works such as farmville use facebook?

Thank you very much!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madsborelli:
Nice job.. Will try flashing and also flashing syncfix. Will reply in approx. 40 min.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
I cancelled uploading the full ROM. You can download and flash the 2.0.4 release, then flash the SyncFix over it. It should work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pr1nce5st:
What ext does my sd card have to use for apps2sd to work???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NoXXX:
Looks like uploaded fix really fixes google sync issue. At least contacts were synced. Great job! Will look deeper into this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
It works automatically. I use ext2.

ext4 won't work because you need kernel sources for that. Not sure about ext3, hopefully someone can provide confirmation.

Same reply as above

Great news, thanks. I'll add that fix into the next version of the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
right flashing now. can i flash rom and fix at same time or do i need to flash rom then go back and do flash fix? doing both together as 1st time flashing rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] codej:
excellent work

thx for sharing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Blackball:
Nice Job,

one thing, is it with all 2.1 Roms that the LED Flash blinks very often?

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reiu:
Is it possible to solve the auto focus problem? It is very difficult to scan a barcode due to this problem in all eris based 2.1 roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madsborelli:
The sync fix is good. The sync now works. I will play around with this rom. Looks really good so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
well well you may be on to something here mate!!!!!!!! if battery life is as you say this is defo a keeper and one to watch. hotmail sync issues as only downloading one email.........expired newsletter blah blah. dont ever get this issue on other senseless 2.1 roms. any help would be appreciated! i do have pop3 on hotmail account. works on all senseless 2.1 roms! strange
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] santiagax99:
Google Contacts Sync don't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
it works with fix mate. read and check 1st post. all fine here after applied fix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carlx:
I loaded this up early on and it looked good, but i did have the sync problem (which is now fixed, just loaded the fix) but i got around at least the contact's bit by downloading a Vcard from goggle mail, but like i said it's all working now can't wait to see if the battery really has improved (i'll see tomorrow when i go to work i had VillainROM 3.1 and that lasted less than 7 hours which was about half of what i got on MoDaCo 3.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avseq:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PSPuser93:
Hey guys,

I got some questions here.

How to install the syncfix?

and

for a2sd, do I just have to formate the SDcard in the RecoveryMenu, or how it works then?

thx and great rom!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maliiina:
to install flash it like rom in recovery menu

to have apps2sd in recovery parted sdcard in tab "other"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
you can either apply when flashing rom from custom recovery. flash the rom 1st then syncfix. then reboot or if you have already flash the rom boot into custom recovery - flash update.zip from sdcard and choose sync fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
try wiping before flash as that might help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
SyncFix.zip worked..! I'm getting more and more pleased with this ROM, I'll be following this thread closely for updates :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
yes its working rather well mate. shame hotmail wont sync proper for me but i am testing battery life. started wid full battery so see how long i get
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Make sure you wiped everything (data, cache, etc.), reload rom and test again. I have just loaded rom and having no issues at all. Great rom so far!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] icespec:
Hi guy, the MMS send and receive fixed for this rom?? What bout the SIM contacts cant be disabled and
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] legisse:
It's a great rom ;) but I have no fix with my GPS :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
I am unable to "unview" sim contacts. I was also thinking to myself why I even need sim contacts when I sync with google all the time anyway.:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
I was able to get a pretty fast and accurate gps fix...next to a window indoors. Maybe try reboot or maybe even a reflash.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] air-:
I'm not seeing the Facebook for HTC Sense widget. I entered in my account settings, it synced ok but can't add it. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Akela:
TheAshMan

can i choose where to install the program? some programs install to the phone, some in to the microsd ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] legisse:
After a reboot it works !!! Thank you :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
The 'Genie' (Google news & weather app) is the US version.

Do you happen to have the UK version around ( It seems to vary according to where the chef is from) ?

Great ROM, fast & stable. Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
na its not there. i looked before and its missing. there isnt even a facebook app at all. had to download from market :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
I just tried adding my Hotmail account to HTC Mail and everything worked fine. Any chance you could try with a different account?

For a temporary MMS fix have a look here. It says Villain ROM but the instructions are the same. I'll have a look at automating the fix, and if a dev manages it before I do then I'll add their fix to this ROM.

No sim contacts fix yet I'm afraid.

I went outside and tried getting My Location on Maps, picked up within 30 seconds. I read a fix somewhere that you turn on GPS in Settings then restart the phone. You should get a fix and then GPS will work normally.

Makes sense. I don't have SIM contacts either.

No, all apps are installed to SD. I read the other day about a a2sd concept which gives you an option before installing apps. I'll try to find it again, and try to add it to this ROM if I can. It's definitely something I'd love to have myself.

I'm from UK, the version included is the only one I've come across but I'll have a look for the UK version.

I don't use Facebook. I'll add the app in the next release for those that do. If anyone knows of a good widget for it then I'd be happy put that in aswell.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wuthton:
Excellent Rom, thankyou.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NoXXX:
Well, almost everything works fine! Now it is time for OPTIMIZATION!!! I have used SenseHero Rom before so I miss the performance of that Rom. Wish you luck, I decided to stay on this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
mind sharing what doesnt work so he can optimise and tweak for future releases
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
There's an MMS fix here. I'll get it added.

Anyone got links for the applications I requested in my earlier post?

If so I'll add the fix and release the updated ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
So do you get the UK tab in News, or the US tab ? I'm getting the US tab but have had mostly UK tab and UK based News in the past on AOSP 2.1 ROMS.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avseq:
bluetooth

has anyone tried with bluetooth file sharing with this rom??

hey gyz just realized its actually working..i love this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zippyioa:
So how is battery life on this ROM Shingers?

I am currently using Max's HeroDroid v0.2 but battery life pours out of it so I'm looking at options.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
quite good mate. full sync on all email accounts, weather updates on auto, text messaging on a high, played some music and watch some vids with a bit of web surfing.........not bad. full charge at 12pm GMT+0 and now at 21.15 GMT+0 battery is 80%. 20% drain in 9 hrs! very good in my book mate. on other roms i'd be getting message to recharge by now

Max is working on a new HeroDroid wid the same battery drain fixes but in the meantime this is very good. if flash dont forget the syncfix for google contacts
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zippyioa:
Sounds great to me, I need a good ROM for tomorrow as I can't charge it during the day and don't want a dead phone half way through.

Think I will give this a try with the sync fix.

Thanks for the rapid reply.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
I'm in the process of uploading the 2.1 version which includes the Sync Fix, and the MMS Fix (which is basically just an extra app). You can wait another 20 minutes for that if you'd rather...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zippyioa:
Even better! Thanks for the heads up AshMan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
good on you mate. love the enthisiasm you've shown today!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
No worries, link available in first post. Updated the changelog in post #2 too.

Thanks for the support. Glad you're enjoying the ROM.

The upload had to be restarted - it timed out part way through. I think to make it quicker to upload changes I'll try using patch files instead of reuploading the entire ROM each time. If it becomes a problem then I'll revert back to full ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
I just installed 2.0.4 and now 2.1 is out. can i flash it without wiping?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
no worries mate. downloading updated build so i can have mms working! do you think i need to wipe or just install over your previous build. also wen ya get the time it would be good to cook a 'senseless' build for the others who dont like sense UI. just a thought. i am on megaupload and their download speeds are good!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
i just asked that! lol........due to fixes applied i would say do clean flash to avoid any possible conflicts. battery life is very good with the fix. no drain when not using phone at all. 2.1 is more of the complete article so now he can start optimizing the rom

edit: chef just posted so go with him below
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
No need for wipe. It's not a huge update, just added/removed a few apps mostly so you don't need to update if you're happy with 2.0.4.

You can download the MMS fix separately, which is the main reason for the update release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
As mentioned, no need for wipe. Most of the ROM is unchanged, only the apps.

I had a go at Senseless earlier and most of it seemed fine. I'll release an updated one tomorrow which includes all the newer Defiance tweaks. Anyone willing to test?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Alright, thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
yeah i'll test it mate!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
What's that ?

"Included - Working Google Sync"

Are there problems with it on 2.0.4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
sure mate i will help. prefer the senseless roms as sense UI is memory hog. like the retro clock and retro date of the senseless roms and the weather+news widget. good idea to add Nexus 1 launcher as it has that cool fade in/out effect and bullets showing pages on left and right side :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
yeah it didnt sync google contacts. needed to apply fix on 1st page to get it working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
LOL right I forgot i flashed that update!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
yeah it is sunday night and we all winding down! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
screw winding down. i'm at work, go damn graveyard shift...

anyway, i've been using this rom for the past couple hours, and it seems pretty sweet compared to Villain 3.2. Looks like battery life is better, but I am still fiddling with the setup so I can't say for sure. There's the additional HTC widgets which are cool also.

Is there anyway AshMan could add the HTC news widget/app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
should be able to. i have been using for 11 hrs and battery drain 20% like days of old
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Oh sweet. I missed that in the past couple of days using the Villain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
good rom from good chef. all the roms on here are off good quality but the battery drain was a joke. seems to be fixed now so the choices are endless. i have stuck with this as 1st to implement battery fix. walked the walk as you say! i prefer senseless roms so soon as one is uploaded with battery and mms fixes i am flashing. ashman may release something to test but max is updating Ahero right now which best senseless rom i have used.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Well I tried out a couple senseless roms a month or so back, but i didn't like it. I can't handle all those ugly widgets out there. I rather go back to my Nokia N82...

edit: or try the HD2 with WinMo... :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
got a HD2 and not overly impressed. my TP2 works better and faster and it has a slower processor. go figure. its not always about whats under the hood but how it works as a total unit......i'd wait for Windows Phone Series 7 to be released as current winmobiles wont be upgradable. check out coolsmartphone.com for all the latest on the new winmo UI. it looks awesome. The HTC Legend is out soon and i like that very much
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Yea, I heard about the Win7 series, but I'd rather wait a couple of months and get the Legend also. I would count on me even considering buying a Windows phone. I ran away from Windows on computers, and I'm not coming back. Mac + Android = Eternal bliss.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
damn right mate! only have winmo as beta tester for one of the cooks on here. once he stops i am getting rid of winmo for good. Love my hero and Nexus 1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
gettin' a lil bit off topic, aren't we? bah...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zippyioa:
OK I have a problem, I flashed the 2.1 version and now my phone wont boot past the white screen with HTC quietly brilliant on it.

The quietly brilliant bit disappears and reappears a few times then seems to hang and nothing happens....

any ideas??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
hmmmmmmm i havent flashed the 2.1 update so not sure. maybe partition sd card to get rid of boot loop issues
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zippyioa:
Im coming to this ROM from MoDaCos 3.2 ROM.

I wiped, then flashed this ROM and rebooted, but still getting stuck on the HTC screen. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
did you wipe dalvik cache and ext partitions if you have any? just wiping for reset isnt always good enough as some roms load stuff onto partitions on your card. if you have no partitions i partition using custom recovery.....ext 2/3 - 512mb and reflash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brfitzp:
Idk what i'm doing wrong. once it gets to verifying package when installing it aborts.

"E: failure at line 2: assert getprop ("ro.product.device")=="hero"

any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
Is this rom more stable than villain ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
I don't recall anything being unstable on Villain 3.1+... but it is very stable, yes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
Does this rom have a lag scrolling at All Songs ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zippyioa:
I had setup an Ext 3 partition when I installed the modaco rom so I just wiped again including a wipe of the dalvik cache and the ext partition.

Just in case it wasnt all there I also redownloaded the rom installer and flashed again..... after all that...... my phone is booting again :cool:

Thanks for your help, now its time to play :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
stability was never an issue but battery drain was. this rom has the new battery fix currently not incorporated in Villain rom. once all these roms are updated with this fix then all will be worth keeping IMO. Herodroid 0.3 is out with this fix as well and optimised to the hilt. i am still battery testing this but after 12 hrs only 30% drain. thats major and i am a heavy user
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
I wouldn't know as I use an iPod, but that's laggy, not unstable...

Sorry, can't help you...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
no worries dude lets us know how battery holds up for you. still doing great here for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
no lag here mate just checked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
LMAO..........:D:D:D:D

steve jobs will sue you for slander
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
downloading now ... :D:D:D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
LOL I was talking about the laggy rom, not the precious iPod...

My iPod is never laggy. It's faster than the speed of light.

edit: plz Steve jobs, don't hurt me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
you on de ole moonshine there partner? yeeeha! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Bah I'm having trouble with the gps... It won't find my location...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
need to restart phone mate and it be fine after that. this was noted earlier.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xjairusx:
I'm currently using Ckdroid 1.6 AOSP 2.1 rom atm, battery does seem like it gets used quite a bit. Anyone recommend flashing/wiping to this rom? Need google contact sync really as all numbers stored there! Facebook intergration etc? Also GPS is a must for geocaching ;) lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Tried that :'(

Tried turning in off and then on through the widget / settings and then restarting my phone. only finds me via network location. I'll try again and leave my phone on the window for a few minutes...

EDIT: alright, i've been standing out there for 5 minutes in the cold and no GPS signal. Maybe I'll try reflashing the rom...

EDIT 2: after several reboots with gps not working, I reflashed it (no wipe) and GPS worked like magic... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Google Contacts - Check.

Facebook - Check.

edit: GPS - Check.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k2thejx5:
Gmail

this is weird everytime i try to sync my contacts from gmail it wont work and when i try my backup pro it wont let me sync my contacts because it says that i am not logged in my google account any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juansuandi:
so its recommended to use this? can you confirm that battery usage as description mate?

Battery Life Update

Been testing this ROM for the day.

Battery life: At 3pm I was at 83%, it is now 9:30pm, and I am at 47%.

Phone was most likely searching for service most of the time, as I'm at work.

Ive got Widgets on almost all screens. Facebook/Weather/News to update every 3 hours. Pretty good I would say.

I have had only one FC and that was in phone settings country region or something I don't even remember...I was playing with all the settings.

Ive got a little lag when scrolling through "All Songs" in stock music program...I use mixzing and scrolling is fine, so no problem.

I also noticed that if your on the home screen and press home you get same result as pinching...seems to be a little quicker tho.

ROM is still moving smoothly. Great Job, its a keeper!
