Sharing is caring and I hope he cares about us. :rolleyes:

EDIT: I got 7365 milliseconds on BenchmarkPi.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] boydefecto:
For some reason I can't get the links to show up on my computer i was able to on my phone but not on any comp i go to is there another place they could be uploaded to?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tejasrichard:
I got 6724. Oc'd to 768, but i didnt kill any processes or apps before i tested.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steindog99:
What are you all using for voicemail? Google Voice?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Youmail since Im outside the continental US.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
I am currently running FroYo after battery recalibration and think it has improved. When I was calibrating battery, it lasted 16 hours to 0% (slept through 8 of those hours).

Now, Im at 41% after 18 hours and I also slept through 8 of those, so there is improvement. I need to test it on a full work day to see how it is going.

So far very promising stuff from FroYo. Hope they can get kernel in this soon.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hatchguy06:
i also thought mflops would improve. I didnt getmuch of a gain from darchdroid to froyo..

Darchdroid- 5.33 mflops

froyo- 5.41 mflops

benchmarkpi 6302
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
Where is the touchwiz interface? i just installed the build and it's not there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
Can you hook us up with touchwiz? id be interested in trying it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] taicor:
how long should I be at the HTC screen at first boot of this? I'll give it a few more minutes but once it goes over 15 im gonna have to reflash
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
plug it in to your computer and run a logcat while it's booting

adb logcat. If you see processes dying or booting stopped altogether reflash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] taicor:
eh i just reflashed. worked just fine. no idea what went wrong the first time
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
The froyo hold up!

Does any one know what's the hold up for CDMA .32 kernel? I have seen people talking in these forums about how Darchy and co is trying to get the .32 compiled, but don't know what is stopping us since Android kernel now has built in CDMA support? Is the code? Did Google screw up anywhere? Or is it HTC that needs to release kernel for Evo and then we can port it from there? :rolleyes:

I tried this ROM for half a day! Its nice but incomplete for day to day use! Just hoping for some answers...... :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] caliboy99:
Keep up the good work you guys.. I cant wait for this rom to be complete.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
Anyone else having a problem where it claims you don't have root access? I can't get Titanium Backup or SetCPU to work because it is telling me that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
I believe darchdroid was missing exchange calendars. Will this final build have exchange calendars? That's the only reason I am not using darchdroid right now.

I honestly don't miss sense or any of that. I just want a fast phone that has the facebook / twitter / flickr intergration that also syncs with exchange.

(I promise I'm not whining, I'm just trying to make a suggestion to a great developer)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feld:
Before Android 2.2 this was not possible without Sense. These are all standard features of Android 2.2 Froyo. Just wait for the release and you'll have what you're looking for.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steindog99:
Yes, the Froyo build has native Exchange Calendar support...It works much better than the CorCal fix, but I really liked the CorCal widgets...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SamXp:
Any idea on a timeline for this release? I haven't flashed a new ROM since Fresh 2.0d and wouldn't mine trying this out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heresy_fnord:
Excellent! After I made my post I started to think about the 2.2 release and I thought maybe it did support calendaring through exchange.

I know this build isn't done and features will still be missing. I'm on aloysius 2.1 right now and that's working fine for me. Man, having 2.2 fully functional will be so sweet!

I'll have to make a donation when it's complete! I'm very excited!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakeCP:
I'm with you! I have never made a donation, but this is really huge in my book! To have this ROM nearly 100% this soon blows my mind!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
1 step closer to fully functional. gps works now. check the irc for more info. i should have camera by the end of the week hopefully.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
man, I just downloaded the earlier version lol. Keep up the good work :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iskatebad45:
So awesome, Darch you are beyond genius. Just saying. Flashed the ROM a little while ago, worked amazingly, though I needed camera and GPS, I'm really looking forward to the full release. Smexy Cat!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
Im at the IRC and there is nothing there yet. Or did the irc channel change?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Has anyone tried Touch Wiz? I liked Darchdroid 2.7, but the AOSP camera sucked compared to the HTC camera. I'm hoping Froyo + Touch Wiz will be a suitable replacement for Sense.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakeCP:
It's there... just ask
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I believe the proper drivers need to be set as camera and gps need to be fixed.

Root permissions work fine for me.

I too am interested in trying touchwiz. Would love a link.

Thanks

It may not render perfectly, as it was hacked to work on the nexus one, but there was someone with a hero who said it worked just great. Also, a few moto droid users said it worked great. All were using froyo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ysos3rious:
I am trying to find the DL link via the IRC, channel but Im having a hard time finding it. I am browsing from my phone due to me being at work. Im wondering if that's the issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sheagk:
It's on the page with all the other downloads; just scroll way way down.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
Good news and bad news after flashing the latest rom. First the good news, I got my root access back! Not sure what the problem was, but it's working. Now for the bad news, I'm getting much slower benchmark scores. Before I was getting around 4.9 at 710MHz, and now I'm getting around 2.9 at 710MHz and 3.2 at 768MHz. Could the JIT have been disabled somehow?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I was using my hero browser as well. Cant scroll down to get to it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urushiol:
I believe JIT was intentionally disabled, because of the real world performance increase was marginal at best. Darch can you clarify, or can someone point is in the right direction to a post on this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Seeing as the Evo is going to get 2.2, wouldn't it make sense(ha!) that eventually, Sense will be JiT compatible?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
It was my understanding that there is no way to disable JIt in 2.2, because that IS the Dalvik that it uses.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakeCP:
I thought darch said he purposefully disabled it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakeCP:
Has anyone found a way to get voice search and input working?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdrr00:
Im only getting 2.7 mflops.. is anyone seeing 5+?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Yeah, my bad. It is disabled, but you can enable it.

@sdr

I'm getting between 4.5 and 5.3 consistently.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
I'm pretty sure, last time I checked (may have changed) that Jus10o was going to compile a JIT enabled version of Froyo (it's Darchs with JIT enabled) while the other, JIT disabled version is available as well... this may not have happened yet, but... my 2 cents :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Any Pic's?

Any pic's of this ROM?:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] The Mac:
JIT was intentionally disabled by darch, as performance gain is marginal at best under froyo.

Leaving it enabled, caused framework problems trying to get all the drivers working properly.

Linpack (megaflops) is a poor benchmark as its mostly Floatingpoint centric, and our procs stink at floatingpoint.

Use Quadrant instead, as its a more complete benchmark suite. You'll notice its goes from @215 under 2.1 to @415 under 2.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dbldown768:
i installed the gpsconfig and nothing seemed to change? i flashed in the order of rom, googleshits, sensors, gpsconfig and dictionary... was i missing something else?

with the gpsconfig is maps supposed to work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ooMikeoo:
is there any other way to get this rom besides the irc? My job blocks it and I get no service on my phone while at work, i really want to try this!

in the first post it says that gps and camera do not work. they just got gps to work but not camera. flash isnt in the whats not working so does that mean its working?

I was just trying to figure this out also. Im getting the same error:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
Wouldn't the CPU stinking at FP be more of a reason to use it? If that's a bottleneck, then improving it by 40% would make a big difference, no? Maybe it was just my imagination, but Raging Thunder 2 seemed to run much smoother with the JIT enabled.

Now as a matter of curiosity, what did they do to make it so much faster in Quadrant without the JIT enabled?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjdalessio:
I've posted this in the original fresh toast thread but not sure how much attention that will get any more.

Every time the music app starts playing, I get an insanely loud pop (worse with my better but more sensitive headset) - it's painful if I have the earpieces in. This is unique to this kernel and makes it quite tough to use since a lot of my day is listening for bits of time, meeting, more music...

Is anyone else having a similar issue? Ideas for how to solve it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
I get the same thing! Not quite painful loud, but definitely enough that I make sure I don't have them in when I hit play. No ideas though, sorry.

flash 10.1

i have a question is there ANYONE with a cdma hero who has adobe flash player 10.1 working? i manually installed the one they posted and it just closes the browser after a few seconds
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
Here as well. I heard they were switching servers but dont know for sure what is going on right now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
The server is wacked so u have to reload the page on another browser type such as IE or FireFox...then, when it happens again you can just switch back to original browser. I think it has to wait like ten mins. to work again... good luck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] betterment66:
please someone help me! :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meth84:
that because are hardware is not capable of it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
The word you are looking for is "our" our is a possessive pronoun, are is a verb.

This one has been bugging me all damn day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdrr00:
How did you get those numbers? Overclocking? Can you point me in the direction to do it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meth84:
rom is already overclocked stock to 710mhz
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blampars:
I've been getting this as well. Got the same thing running Darchdroid 2.6.4-2.7 as well.

I just always press play first, then put the head phones in. It would be nice to get the issue resolved though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Basically, I installed FroYo and all the patches. Then I got high benchmarks. Aside from Linpack, it was completely stock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ryatziv:
Is there any way to calibrate the keyboard? Coming from Sense, it's killing me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjdalessio:
Yes - if I'm not the only person observing this, it's definitely something in the kernel (I suspect - Had it on FT, but not plain Fresh 2.0d, 2.1.1, or 2.1.2) because it will eventually damage the headphones. I paid more for mine than I did for my Hero, so... Yeah. Not good. ~2.5-3hrs on the train every day minimally, plus I use it at work when I need to get in the zone. I had tried underclocking even (overclocked I could hear when I touched the screen, when I moved my finger on the screen). EMF sensitive circuits suck.

I tried pressing play then plugging them into the phone (is this what you did? with in-ears it's hard to know what's being put in, I assume the phones in the ears) it still popped, so it must be something about the circuit. I had a hard time testing to see if the problem exists starting trough the speaker.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
My linpack scores are around 2.8 and benchmarkpi is 10k to 12k. I must be missing something. First rom to be able to voice dial through Bluetooth, which is very nice!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I don't think your using the jit enabled build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blampars:
No I have them plugged in when I press play, just not in my ears so I miss the "POP!!!" sound heh. I work landscaping for a living and tend to go through my headphones rather quickly, so I use cheap ones. I can understand your concern though with having a nice pair and not wanting to damage them.

I just tried playing some music and then plugging my headphones into the jack, it still pops but seems to be considerably more slight than having them already plugged in.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
Is there a way I can find out? I flashed cyanogen_heroc-ota-eng.ameer.zip from the irc.

Great work, btw!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
adb shell

dalvikvm -h

look for a line at the bottom that says jit. If you're not running with jit enabled it won't be there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
Thanks Gunnyman! I don't see anything:

These are unique to Dalvik:

-Xzygote

-Xdexopt:{none,verified,all}

-Xnoquithandler

-Xjnigreflimit:N (must be multiple o

-Xjniopts:{warnonly,forcecopy}

-Xdeadlockpredict:{off,warn,err,abort

-Xstacktracefile:<filename>

-Xgc:[no]precise

-Xgenregmap

-Xcheckdexsum

Configured with: debugger profiler hpro

Dalvik VM init failed (check log file)

Any chance you can direct me to the JIT version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
No idea where it would be. I'm staying out of the froyo stuff until it's done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Don't suppose you have the new IRC info do you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
No, but the old one was alive and kicking half an hour ago, has it been abandoned?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] illan380:
Awesome Rom!!!! This has to be the best dev built rom that is out. I can live without the camera.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
I keep getting time outs ever since they changed servers.

Nevermind, i see bikcmp has his own server going.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madflava54:
I installed this from Darch. I wiped everything and it automatically downloaded my previous apps. I'm not sure why. Other than that, it's an awesome ROM!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Cetus Corr:
You didn't like the fact that it downloaded the apps for you? I noticed when I flashed the latest GS, it said that it would store info from apps online. I wonder if that is what it means? I hope so, now I don't have to reinstall all my apps each time I flash a new rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swamp goblin:
I'm having the same problem, my linpack scores are consistently at 2.8-3.2 . I have installed the newest version of the froyo build and all the patches, but still. don't know why its suckin so bad. I have it overclocked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
The latest build has the JIT disabled, see previous posts about this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
Did it for me as well, I believe it's one of either Froyo's new features or the new Market's (automatic update may be the feature). Either way I love it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Its a AOSP fixture.. it backs up your google information.. You can disable it if you want to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
just a usability question for ones running the alpha froyo. i keep seeing everyone concerned with benchmark scores but can some of you comment as to the real world function compared to previous darch 2.7? obviously froyo is supposed to be 2x-5x faster so i'm curious as to what everyone is experiencing. i appreciate it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
That holds true for the N!, not the Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
ok thanks for clarifying but im really just looking for some feedback comparisons from darchs 2.7. ex. faster switching between screens, popups, apps running, browsing etc. thank you for the reply.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Personally, I have not used it and won't use it till SenseUI gets ported into it, but from all the stuff I've read, the 450% speed increase was specific only to the Nexus One. A lot of people have been assuming that means their phones will suddenly be 5 times faster after the update, and that's not the case.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
I think its the new market updating your phone for you with your previous apps you downloaded.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
I thought that the alpha build without JIT was just as fast if not faster than Darchdroid 2.7 oc with JIT enabled. Just my two cents :-)

Enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjdalessio:
I had not used Darch, came from Fresh (regular as well as toast) and this is consistently smoother. You don't notice it going to the ROM a much as when you going back.

Some things work differently and feel slower (unlock - I haven't taken the time to try to get rid of the haptic feedback) and that's a different issue.

For those insisting on Sense... What do you need that it has?

C
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
I prefer the widgets (clock/weather) and the excellent Facebook integration, and my setup right now has Sense with the Espresso launcher, and in my opinion, it brings a beautiful sense of refinement to Android (I've seen Sense-less devices and I really hated them).

At any rate, I'm not worried. The issue with Froyo and Sense originally was that since the Nexus one and the Droid were the focus before, Sense wasn't a concern. But seeing as 2.2 is coming to the Evo, the Desire, and the Legend, it's obvious that a JiT compatible Sense will be ported to the Hero, because HTC will not let Sense UI go for the sake of a Froyo upgrade.

EDIT: Also want to add that I think the default Rotary Lockscreen (Vanilla) looks like complete crap and feels very dated. Again, no personal offense meant, just my opinion.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i agree with you 100%!!!! i absolutely love sense ui. afterall.....isnt that why we got our hero's?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tokuzumi:
I too liked the Sense UI widgets. But I have found replacements that look and function almost identically to the HTC widgets (calendar and clock, and home screen functionality...I don't use friend stream or the other scrollable widgets). Fancy widget is almost a direct copy of the HTC clock with weather. Get it from the market before it's taken down. HTC has already told them to stop development on the app (I backed it up via Astro FM). It will be taken down soon. Smooth calendar is a better version of the 1 x 4 calendar in Sense. I find it to be a little more useful than the HTC one. Plus, with LauncherPro, I get the bounce when swiping between screens, as well as the leap feature (pinch on the home screen, and you see all your screens). I use an Evo, and I even found a widget to toggle the 4G network (the original 4G toggle is an HTC widget).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
can everyone stop being such n00bs. just cuz u don't see mflops in the tens and froyo jit isn't the de facto standard on armv5te arch variant doesn't mean the dalvikvm didn't drastically improve. linpack isn't a great benchmarker at all for our cpu's at all due to it's lackluster performance with floating point emulations. if u use a more fair benchmark, such as quadrant, u'll see ur phones performance has doubled in performance, from a score of 210 > 430.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dragonziggy:
I'm not a big fan of Sense and I got my Hero because I've had sprint for like 8 years now and it's still $40 cheaper then any other carrier for the same thing... and the moment sucks... my options were limited... and I'm not shelling out all the money for an iPad... I mean EVO... if I wanted an iPad to carry around I would get an iPad not an EVO...lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
I can live without Sense, but I do like the following:

-Dark theme, I like it much more than the plain white of vanilla Android

-Widgets, specifically the agenda, message, and photo album widgets

-Camera, IMO, much better than the AOSP camera
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Buda76:
Definitely agree. Here are some runs from quadrant that I done on various roms

Blue Echo and DamagR Finisher maps v3: in the 170 to 190 Range

Stock 2.1: 212

Darchdroid 2.7 with uv: 270 to 292

Froyo Dev ROM: 406 to 451

My friend with a droid has overclocked his phone and put froyo on it. He is getting a 1360 on quandrant which is above the stock nexus one (he sent me the screen shot). He saw a major difference with 2.2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ryatziv:
That's an interesting view... I actually prefer the vanilla lock screen... it's easier to unlock for me, and it has the vibrate toggle, which Sense doesn't have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
whats the status on a2sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shabbypenguin:
froyo has it built in and doesnt work with ext partitions
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
so format sdcard back to fat and it will work?

and i tried this the other day and was really disappointed with the speed. is the speed any better?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
The only thing i miss is the keyboard from sense. I cant get the xda keyboard to work. Otherwise im glad to leave sense.

And i did not buy the hero for sense. I got it because winmo 6.5 made my tp2 a pain to use.
