Just a quick 'bug' to report...it seems like the Facebook profile pictures that are used for contact photos are really grainy like in the first 2.1 Hero (with Sense) ROMs. Should be fixable though as the other Sense ROMs no longer have this issue.

The ROM is lightning fast though so great job overall.

APPS2SD Does Not Work :'(

Hi. One problem. Apps2SD does not work.

I have just tried to use the VillianRom Apps2SD patch but that does not work and seems to have stopped my phone from booting up (good job I made a nandroid backup)...

Is there an Apps2SD patch you can give to us?

Apps2SD never works for me without a patch even though I have the correct EX3 partitions etc

Help me...

thanks:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Also can we install themes on this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
The answer is probably no, since this ROM is ODEX'd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Re: [ROM] 20 May 2010- Cronos Droid (2.1 Release full 2.6.29)

That patch only works on our ROMs, due to the fact it changes boot.img
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Oh right. Sill question lol... don't suppose you could make a patch for this rom could you? I'm sure you'll be helping out many people if you could...

if not.. is there any other way apart from adb to enable apps2sd? lol patch is so easy :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Re: [ROM] 20 May 2010- Cronos Droid (2.1 Release full 2.6.29)

Not now. It's after midnight here, and I am only on phone. ;)

I don't even have the info on what goes in the patch either to hand.

If this ROM stays on a constant base for a bit, it might be possible, but if it keeps changing boot.img then there is no point.

Youd be better to ask the op to learn a2sd and fix the ROM tbh. Patches are ok when its your own ROM you know inside out, but I don't know what the op changes, so its best to fix the original release IMHO.

If anyone fancies a try, read up on init.d, as that is how a2sd is run. :-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Hey mate. Many thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated. It must be hard typing all that on a phone! lol...

Well if you get a chance / if you can.. it would be very much appreciated.. if not then like you said may be someone else or the devs could create one..

I just don't know why for some people (like myself) even having the correct partitions etc .. apps2sd won't work... but with a patch it does... hmm.. could be an sd card problem...

once again many thanks mate ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Ohh right... thanks for clearing it up :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ogg1e:
I'm still getting horrible battery usage on this one even after trying all this stuff.

Not sure what else to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Can anyone confirm whether they have VPN (PPTP) working on this ROM at all? I can't seem to connect but it isn't really giving me any kind of errors...it just doesn't connect :s
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
but the weird thing is that feeyo said that it works ion his phone. Maybe you must install the first patch then upgrade it by installing the fix ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deadwilder:
as said before, use this:

SWAP: 128MB

EXT2: 512MB

rest FAT
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
i had tried but it could not work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gerald27:
thks for this rom ... loving it

but i realized that there is no way to hide the sim card contacts ? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deadwilder:
what have you done first? partitioning or flashing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
as said i already tried both ways.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trashed78:
Don't Apps2SD use your first EXT part.. so try Partitioning without swap as you don't need it

Swap=0

EXT2=512

FAT=rest
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
wahahaha i already tried that method too. It just wont fix. BTW freeyo your first upload also have problem with the lack of presence of nano in rom ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
Excellent ROM, thanks so much for this stable fast rom, i just have one issue which is that the screen wont turn off when i recieve a call, i keep hanging up on people,

Is their anyway to fix this without using proximity sensor which stuffs up alot, because I use calls atleast 30 minutes aday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
Search "Proximity Sensor" on the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oc2:
For me it works fine in this way:

I first flashed the ROM, then restart, backup SD card, restart, partitioning 32MB SWAP and 512MB EXT2, convert to EXT3, restart and then i write back all apps with Titanium Backup.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabsn182:
Still FC on Boot for com.android.phone

So ROM is useless. Have to revert to MCR 3.2... :(

me so sad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keithmoon:
I sometimes wonder if people ever root there phones properly or just mess the whole thing up by filling there sd card with crap!

Installed this rom last night, booted in a couple of minutes and no problems since.

If it doesn't work, how about you blame yourself first, then your phone and then your sheer laziness!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
I've just come from MoDaCo 3.2 - been using Cronos for the morning. It seems pretty fast, but still not quite as fast as MoDaCo has been.

However all the additional apps and the stability make up for it. The only thing I don't like about it is the Verizon bootscreen.

Looking forward to more releases. Keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marco.fabbri:
try also this to track down the responsible

if you're experiencing the 100% awake bug after a reboot

last thing you can do is, while experiencing battery drain, plug the phone in the pc, and then run

adb shell
top

and you can see if there's some weird process stuck at a lot of % cpu use, or at 0% cpu use

you can also download some terminal app from the market and run top on it instead of use adb shell (not very easy to read, but easier to do)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oc2:
Pls ppl be realistic!

MCR is 1.5. In this way it is possible that it is little bit faster.

The bootscreen is a very very very smal problem :p

Why on that ROM starts Footprints and Stock continiously?

Deactivatet, but it starts still.

hf
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
That's just what I thought. MoDaCo is very smooth., This one is fast too, but not so smooth as MoDaCo. I hope it will be solved in the future :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] unika:
I was a long time modaco 3.2 user, and every time I tried any 2.1 ROM, I came back to modaco. But this cronos rom definitely faster then any other 2.1 rom with sense, i'd say it is on par with modaco. With modaco I was using some taskkiller, with cronos no need for this.

As for bootanimation, not everyone will be satified with one bootscreen, so if you do not like it just change it for yourself. Get for examples, a nexus one bootanimation and push it into /system/media, that's it.

Get it from here: http://www.4shared.com/file/173213164/ca5b892a/bootanimation.html

Here is how to do it with adb:

adb remount
adb push path_to_file/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
adb reboot

P.S. If there will be any other better 2.1 ROM, I'll switch, until than I keep cronos ROM. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] starfarer:
Any update coming soon?? waiting impatiently for OC stable :-).

Defo sleep bug present after GPS ON. Tested all day yesterday and phone refuses to sleep. On spare parts it's 100% time spent without sleeping.

Still not tested the battery. Left last night at 2330 at 29%, checked this morning around 0830 remaining batt lever was 21%. For the bug, IMO not bad using 1%/hr when phone not in use. But have the room to improve.

Sound while in call strange "echo" type. Not sure how to describe, not a kind of normal echo but bit harsh on caller. It seems trying to "drown" outside noise. Probably some kind of "noise cancellation" feature on. One ppl reported here as in "cave".

No multi-touch on maps.

At first thought titanium backup not working as under backup/restore was empty with no lists of installed apps. But if left for a while (not sure how long), all installed apps were shown. Not tested for restore.

Auto-rotate works but not as smooth as in Kimera 1.6 OC. That was the best experience of orientation I ever had on any phone.

No FC's so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
I thought these ROMS don't make use of SWAP ... so mine is 0 .. 512EX3 .. rest FAT

Apps2SD does not work..

Only 19MB internal left..

please someone make a patch thanks

EDIT: People are using EX2 ? I thought all the Roms use EX3?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pornogeroc:
apps2sd work ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oc2:
on mine YES !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
you using ex2 or ex3 my friend?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pornogeroc:
how exactly make to work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marco.fabbri:
about this i think the problem is that we're hearing a little our own voice while talking from the hearing amplifier, or at least it seems like that to me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
For the record, I appear to have no call issues what so ever.

I will ask around if people on the other side of the phone call have any comments about call quality, but it seems ok.

- not using any headset

- using update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26-signed

- full wipe (like I always do)

- reflashed radio after flashing rom

Don't know if any of this matters, but just being verbose :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hlstone:
first，thanks for ur fantastic work！！！

i like the rom very much！

and two small problem ：

1. it seems that i cannot use my 3G

2. when i use the google map 4.2 on my hero，cannot multi point touch···

how to deal with this？thank u！！
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vincentv:
Same observation here. Other than that this ROM is near perfect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
I'm experiencing this problem too. It's kind of annoying! I hope we can get a fix soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] soopahfly:
Nice effort, but I'm not noticing any speed improvements over Kimera 1.8 and it's another 2.1 rom that doesn't work properly with Bluetooth.

Won't connect to my Laptop with ADR and won't connect to my car's CK7W bluetooth kit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ogg1e:
running top I see these 3 processes using up most of the cpu:

com.google.process.gapps

android.process.acore

system_server

Using spare parts, I saw that system took up the majority of the battery drain. Everything else was relatively small including calendar if I pick 'total in all time'.

If I pick since last boot, which would be about 30 minutes ago, system and calendar are at 50% each.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Absolutely no problems with bluetooth, in particular automatic connection with my bt car-radio (including A2DP).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] norpan111:
Its a keeper :) perfect except greenish camera, slow sms keyboard and the strange echo in a call. Thank you. Very much! Great rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wormstein:
Again, this rom is great.

I only have one question. The available space on /system mountpoint is zero and this prevent me to put a module in /system/lib or to do other things in there. Is there anyway to increase this?

Camera still reboots when used. Not all the time, happened only once since yesterday. Not a big deal...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] unika:
Just delete unnecessary (for you) stuff from /system/app

E.g., remove a YouTube.apk, since it is duplicated at /data/app

Actually, there are a lot of "garbage" in /system, go remove them all :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raidei:
WoW! this app is wonderful :D It really works (for me at least)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
Further comments: I can't get the camera to take snaps of barcodes in Shopsavvy. It can't focus properly. MoDaCo rom was so fast on autofocus. This rom tries hard to focus, but always gets it wrong.

Battery life is not as good as MoDaCo. I was using Cardiotrainer this morning and my battery has been sapped very quickly from around 100% to 30% in 1.5 hours of cardiotrainer use with some texting beforehand and otherwise standby.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scuj1:
You might want input your APN manually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Barcode scanner works for me on VR6. I am not aware of doing anything to make it work though. Not sure what it could be.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Xtreme2k:
Thanks for the great ROM! My only problem is that the G sensors seem to crash after a while, screen rotation works fine after reboot, but stops working after using the phone for some hours. Also, the 3D gallery doesn't seem to detect new pictures (starting it again after waiting a while seems to help) and sometimes it says "There are no pictures" and needs to be restarted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirok:
Hmm...

I was reading what issues people have with this rom and I had a revelation.

Regarding sources, Feeyo must be a frustrated htc employee (or his angry wife). Nice rom but unfinished. Too bad :\

Where is that guy anyway... Yesterday we had a bit tense situation among developers; was his (or her) feelings hurt??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
Barcode scanner works just fine. Shopsavvy however does not. Can you test that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] misterblonde:
the same thing

i can receive sms but i can't send it :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
Hey Feeyo , when will you release an over-clocked kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Works perfectly mate. Tested on a 1D barcode for PC Pro magazine FWIW (that's a small one that's narrow and tests focussing well)

Ok, tried out the rom for a day now and its fantastic.

More Locale 2 for spelling and menues.

Just create two new APN:s for mms and mobile data and reboot.

Opening loong sms conversations is really fast, havnt noticed loading speed difference between short or long conversations!

Camera works great.

Everything is smooth.

Remaining issues:

Is there any way to push the htc news widget?

Multitouch in maps!!

Linpack @ 2.3 +- 0.04

thank you Feeyo

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
You sir, are an idiot. This is by far the best ROM out there overall, so I doubt he's bothered about little girls attacking him on the Internet.

Battery life lasted 24hours with intense usage, using the newest radio. G-sensor hasn't crashed on me once.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enzydroid:
I've been using this rom for about a day now and yes, I've had a few issues and a few force closes, but on the whole everything works nicely; the problem setting my background wallpaper was fixed by using the old-style photo gallery and I haven't even had problems with aps2sd.

All of you wondering if aps2sd is working, install 'quick system info pro' and see what it says under the aps2sd heading; as long as you've got your memory card configure properly (mine is set to swap: 0, ext2: 512, Fat: remaining and I then upgraded ext2 to ext3) everything should work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Himcor:
Yes, go into settings -> wireless & network -> mobile network -> APN

press menu and add a new apn for mms. (I think you need one for data and one for mms)

the one for mms:

google your carriers settings and enter them manually in your new mms apn.

PM me if you have any questions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Himcor:
which language are you reffering to?

guess pretty much every language uses 0-9 numpads ^^

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcduck1:
Hello

I made a request several days ago for the source of this rom.

Your rom is covered by the GPL and you have admitted to having the source. You also said you would release the source for us to inspect, and nothing happend.

By not sending me the linux source for this release you are in violation of the GPL. As a contributer to the Linux kernel I find this highly offensive and I am concidering reporting you to gpl-violations.org.

Please release post your kernel sources, or at the very least mail them to those who request so in the thread. I can be contacted by private message where i can send you my mail.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I did it without a wipe..has anyone else had a successful boot without a wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.

Feeyo, want me to upload it on my Rapidshare account? That way it is permanent?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Excuse my french, but that's a bit of a ***** move right there. Why not appreciate his work and wait for HIM to release his sources in his own time, rather than threatening to report him.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
exactly, that right there is stupid
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xangma:
Because this guy is right. In his own time? Don't think it works like that. We sent something along the same lines to Huawei about the U8220. They released them quicksmart.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mike404:
Hello,

Just a "naive'' question is it a request you done for all the rom created by all developers ?

I say that because i saw your request for the first time here, but I am probably wrong ...

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] plonkersaurus:
you really know how to waste peoples time don't you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcduck1:
Becuse in his own time is never. And we are a fast moving community, we want the sources now and he is in violation for not giving them. If you use GPL sources play by the GPL rules.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xangma:
Right, and which kernel sources were the other devs using? Leaked HTC ones? Yep?

Continuing on ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
I understand that, and I also understand that if all the developers had the source that things could be more progressive. However, I'm sure he doesn't want to release the sources because of a specific reason. I'm not a developer, so I probably have a biased opinion, but what he's doing here is great work.

This thread has had a lot of attention, the work he's done shouldn't be overshadowed by the arguments between users. I feel that asking through a PM would have been a better way of going about it, rather than making it public. I'm not taking sides, and this is just my opinion, but that's how I see it. Good luck in getting the source bro.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lordsmiff:
Have you really got nothing better to do?

Do us all a favour mate...give it a rest.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
...back to the rom, i rebooted and i still got

I/Zygote ( 103): Exit zygote because system server (120) has terminated

and also

D/BootAnimation( 129): SurfaceFlinger died, exiting...

by that i assume something went wrong, so im gonna backup my stuff and install after a full wipe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
Sorry but stop being a jackass.

What do you really think is going to happen?

1. You "report" him.

2. They _might_ send an email after they've finished reading all the other "reports"

3. He probably disregards email.

4. After quite some time, another email is sent.

Point 3 and 4 can be repeated for quite some time.

And even then, what will gpl-violations do?

Do they know where this person lives?

So, get your head out of your ass or whine to all developers.
