hmm... have been using 1.7.1 since it came out and never noticed that problem but maybe I just got used to doing a double click....

Anyway tested it on 2.0 and it works ok (single press in black screen terminates call). It did take me a 12 min dummy call just to finally understand that when the phone is charging it won't turn off the screen....

In any case, please note that this release still has problems (app2sd not working, the patch which removes some apps, etc.). it might be better to wait for a new version which should come tomorrow (I hope).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aleks07:
Thanks for checking it! I can't wait for a fixed version. Standard 2.1 is nice, but it is missing some extra features like OC and JIT.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
How do i know if my Jit is enabled?? or disabled?

how do i turn it on or off??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JonasBom:
Same question...

I get only 2.8 msflops at 650mhz, looks like JIT is off. At Cronos 1.5.1 i get around 4.5...any idea? I really like your ROMs...

What is the Differenz between the new official 2.1 and the old official one, only the language?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
Isn't JIT only supposed to decrease application loading/start times? If it is so, you won't see any increase in CPU performance benchmarks.

EDIT: I was wrong, it should be the other way around - JIT will make the app load slightly slower, as the bytecode is being created, and the app should run faster afterwards. Still, you shouldn't see any noticeable change in CPU benchmarks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
JIT makes execution of programs go faster, as the bytecode is optimized. It is even that "good" that it optimizes linpack, making it executing even faster which kinda bais the results.

Start times are increased but for once (when booting or installing). But most of the times programs are going through the normal dalvik as well when being installed (increasing their times a lil).

Anyway... JIT should make things faster. Not sure why it isn't working yet though (it should I believe).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
Huh, I always thought that linpack (and similar) uses an already pre-compiled work set to stress the CPU, seeing as its purpose is to benchmark raw CPU performance... I now feel a bit cheated. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
JIT makes it possible to optimize the _java_ code on which mostly all Android programs are based. The linpack-app uses java to calculate and benchmark. Jit enables the code to be better _optimized_ for the arm processor, and in this case giving a huge boost.

So jit makes it possible to unleash more the 'true' power of the processor on Android. Before JIT, linpack for example would execute hugely unoptimized code making it slower.

Neocore for example won't benefit at all from JIT, since almost all the calculating it does isn't in Java code, but in NDK 'native' code. Jit has zero impact on that.

So you shouldn't see it as 'cheating' at all. More that the scores are finally 'the true scores' now JIT is on. If you would compile a command line app (on your phone :)) that calculates the same thing it should now give pretty much the same results as the Android-linpack app.

Yeah I read but there's posts in 2 forums and the kinda contradicted themselves that's why I ask. It's called clarification !

new version with jit is out ;-) check the forums!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
I would advise against, it seems everyone is getting stuck in a boot-loop with the patch.

Also, can anyone on Telus confirm if the proper APN is included? The change log says full APN list, yet it didn't seem to show up for me. Telus is the only carrier in Canada to offer the Hero, so it would be nice if it's added.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1immortal:
Feeyo , you should open a donattion fund for the android project :)

your work is highly appreciated !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
is it deodexed? is this final build for now?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
no not deodexed. I found the fix while I was deodexing so released an odexed rom.

As I prefer to have odexed apks in the rom straight away.

But we will probably release an 2.0.1 release deodexed pretty soon so that we have a little bit of more freedom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ok cool, by monday maybe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Probably yea. Or this weekend even. Depends on my time and the testers :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ok will wait till then
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MarkMcLovin:
I'm getting FC's everytime I open Messages. I've flashed straight from 1.7.1.

EDIT - and now after a reboot, I'm stuck in a boot loop with the htc animated logo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I have said it a thousand times and will say it again.

Repartition, wipe everything. This is a full new base and so you need a clean empty phone system. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
360° Rotation

Hey Feeyo! You are a master, your latest 2.0 is much better than 1.7.1, but that could have been my fault as I did wipe Dalvik AFTER flashing and running the rom.

I did notice that someone had 360° rotation enabled in their rom, perhaps you could add that into the next update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MarkMcLovin:
Well then update the OP, FFS! Ya know, to stop any confusion.

Also, shouldn't you list what is also taken away from previous versions, like the news & weather or the Friends widget for example? Up until now, your versions have been additions to previous ones.

I totally appreciate the work you put in, but you need to be clear with a) what people are downloading and b) the changes from the previous version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
What about going to Cronosproject.org? Loads of information there. And we have an IRC channel where you can ask questions...

To be honest the versions jumps are not additions ontop of the older roms.

The additions I add are mostly on top of the rom version as:

Main version: 1.0

Additional updates/addons: 1.1

Patchsets: 1.1.1

New version:

1.2 = nothing to do with 1.x

Anyhow. thanks for your comments.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ok flashed 2.0 will do some further testing

man that new villain rom is garbage, the touchscreen died out on me multiple times, had to take out battery!

Also there are to gallery photo widgets in your Rom......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MarkMcLovin:
Ah I see, I didn't realise your updates were incremented like that, but it's no biggie.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msiviter:
Did the whole wiping and repartitioning procedure to get JIT for the first time. Boot loop!!!

Really frustrating as I've no major gain over the excellent 1.5 ROM but I lost all of my Titanium data to reformat the SD card.

Could you please put this in the unstable releases until it all works for everyone (I know the JIT patch has the 'experimental' caveat).

It works fine with the base ROM and SU patch however, but so did 1.5!!!

Great to see you back. Good work, watching for the fix to JIT

Matt
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] starfarer:
LOL what's unstable???? The ROM itself is very stable while JIT is optional which is marked for experiment and others had reported problem.

One gain over 1.5 is now the phone goes to sleep after GPS use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Guys the JIT boot loop is fixed. Check cronosproject.org for a fix. Also added a boot loop fix for some users that had it from the start.

Good Luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] juno360:
excellent rom

I'm very impressed with the speed of this rom after installing JIT and removing a couple of apps. Feeyo, you've done a great job, noticed a couple of people complaining on your forums and here which isn't very cool. It's a great rom and you should be proud.

Anyone know if there's any way to disable the ap2sd? If I was to partition the SD back to just one partition, think I'll get bootloops again?

Just don't really need ap2sd, pretty sure the default card isn't that fast anyway.

Thanks in advance!

After i flash 2.0..i cant change my lock screen paper..After i select e paper,they state" the lock paper is set" but still remain as e default 1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jazzjunkz:
Known issue. This will be fixed in the next release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Any word on 360 degree rotation or 270 degree rotation for the next version Feeyo? One of the Hero Roms on this site says their one can do it. Can you add it this rom please? It would make an already amazing Cronos rom even better.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaji007:
why is facebook sync not working with my contacts

or is not supposed to and why cant i change wallpapers or add live wallpapers to this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Got a link to it?

How did you added live wallpapers? Normal wallpaper/lockscreen should be fixed in a next release.

So this lib is for encoding only, and not for playback, correct?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
I switched to this after having problems with VillianRom 8, Cronos 1.7.1 was very fast. However when I did a full wipe and tried to install Cronos 2.0 my back-upped apps would not download.

So I thought I would give the new VillainRom a go, all back-ups worked except one which I fixed. Anyway I am glad I got my apps back. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Nice work. Happy you got your apps back
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
You sure you applied the SU patch after flashing 2.0? Some back-up programs require it (titanium for example). Not sure which one you are using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
I am using mybackup pro, I don't think the SU patch was available when I first installed Cronos 2.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
There was a 2.0 release which had a bug in busybox, making whole titanium useless. But it is fixed in the current 2.0 release.

I am using titanium here as well :)

If you ever consider 2.0 again. Flash it, flash the SU patch right after it and all should be fine'n dandy :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
Hey Thanks for the post, I am sure Ill try 2.0 soon, I always try and have the best rom stored on my phone (cant wait till Fryro is out). I checked and the SU patch wasn't on the site when I updated my rom. Now it is.

android.mms crashes

Hi there.

After updating from 1.7.1 to 2.0 (means: http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=137) + Dalvik-cash wipe + SU Patch + eApps + reboot...

in "Messages" or SMS/MMS App-> com.android.com always crashes.

Can anybody help me?

PS: Don't wanna wipe everything again ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Did you happen to use any backup tool to restore sms messages? It seems that Titanium Backup is failing to get the sms-backup restore right, as the new WWE 2 base uses a different database setup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
This ROM has 360° rotation in it's feature list.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=708673

Maybe Feeyo can ask how it was done and also credit him for it?

ANyone got a problem with a force close everytime you go into the standard messaging app?

I'm not even trying to open an mms, only a normal text.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:

full wipe, no ext and no jit

edit: also when typing texts it sometimes misses key presses

what radio is recommended?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hertus:
I did a "update" from 1.7.1 with no wipe (as described in 1st post) ... so all data remained, no restore needed, so I didn't use Titanium Backup or other backup-app.

Using "Handcent SMS" now, that works without problems (with the same database?)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Radmeister:
I don't get this whole drama going on about sources and kernels. This isn't KFC with the Colonel's (pronounced kernel's) secret recipe. All i can say is Fastest rom yet, faster than my stock 1.5, faster than all the Villain roms, faster than Androbin, faster than Kimera 1.8 @ 650mhz. Point is it's fast, I love all the other devs but in this case wouldn't you rather admit and say "yeah dude you have the new kernel" because at least then you could blame him making a much faster rom on the first release than anything you've ever put out on him having an updated kernel...I mean ok lets say its the same one you guys have been using and he lied, who cares all i get from that is he is a better programmer because his runs faster using the same kernel as Villain.

One thing though that i noticed, and it's my only thing this far:

Contact photos synched from FB look like crap. Fix?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulpoff:
Of course, MD5's are fine,compared.

Otherwise it would not pass VERIFY process.

Rom is signed with missing nano file and with config mentioning it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Thats not what he was asking about. He wanted you to compare this kernel md5 avec other kernel md5 you mention before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] M@rtin:
That worked a treat, thanks a lot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] killer4o:
Yeah, there was a guy saying there was another OC .29 kernel with unfunctional camera. I haven't noticed one being posted here at xda, but maybe I just missed it, so if you are trying to imply they are the same, post the md5 checksums and we'll see. Or give me a link to the other kernel and I'll do it for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naffgorr:
thanks alot! been goin at this for hours, getting aborted installs each time though updating to recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2, wiping ALL, repartitioning and so on.. but this modified version works like a charm! :D

Thanks alot both to you and to Feeyo for this awesome ROM! :-)

Edit: Btw, an overclocked stable ROM would be even more awesome!! Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
my phone keep freeze after 1-2 min.

can someone help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulpoff:
.. Also, as someone mentioned, how did you manage to root your phone? I didn't notice a simple root.exe program that you run and gives you a rooted phone after 5 mins. So you SHOULD have some basic knowledge to be dealing with roms and flashing and stuff.

LOL'd at you dude, google it harder, thats exactly how I rooted it on the first place, by running an apk and rebooting. Than I had the CyanogenMod v1.4

Why would I need all the SDK?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulpoff:
Thanks a lot !

This gets flashed properly.

This is without doubt the best 2.1 release for hero gsm. Just need some small fixes. The automatic brightness is also working now ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] case0:
Well I've read half of the thread and will read the rest tomorrow, too tired now.

All I want to say now though is that there are some total bellends in this thread! Seems from the feedback to be a great rom. Downloaded and looking forward to flashing in the morning. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
Just flashed this ROM and it's fantastic! I don't seem to be running into any problems at all as of yet and I've tested most things now. GPS, Camera, and SU all work fine for me. I did get the error when flashing but the ADB fix worked fine for me.

Say what you like, but this is THE best 2.1 ROM I have ever had flashed on my Hero. Thanks very much! If I come across any bugs over the next few days I'll be sure to report them here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
G-Sensor working now, but auto-brightness still doesn't work. That's the ONLY problem I have found with this ROM. I have to say, though, that I've stripped out most of the widgets and social apps. Best ROM out there at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bhellim:
Thanks for this roms will try this out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
I'll ask Feeyo to remove that line then :P 2.0 is based on the 2.1 official release, which is a whole different base than 1.7.1. Even Villain suggest people to wipe everything.

I suggest titanium for backing up apps.

SMSBackupRestore for sms messages.

Why it works for handcent? no clue, maybe it is smarter in detecting DB versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hertus:
OK, when it's a whole different base I will wipe it first :)

Thanks for your replies, have a nice day/weekend/whatever!

edit: just noticed 2.0.1 is out, thanks

edit: no google apps available, flashed the eapps 2.0 twice now. dont have any ext partition. why does it take about 3 mins for this 6mb file to flash?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G8D:
I take it you can flash 2.0.1 over 1.7.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Better not to, as the 2.x series are based on the official 2.1 release while the 1.7.x series have another base. Make sure you got proper back-up tools as well, as some are not thát great with the newest base.

TitaniumBackup for apps (supports more as well. Please note that this is not a great sms backup program).

SMSBackupRestore for smsmessages
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G8D:
Hmm, so basically repeat the steps I made from MCR to Cronos.. Oh well, I suppose it might be worth it.

I don't really care about keeping SMSs so that's ok :P

Is 2.0.1 generally much better than 1.7.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
did you fully wipe and repartioned your sdcard before flashing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G8D:
Can one repartition without formatting the non EXT partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
No. But you can make a backup, repartition and put it back.
