yes & yes

autobrightness obviously activated and still looks like it's always cranked all they way up

strange thing about su request is Tbackup asked for it and everything went fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
This is just a guess and might be a bit out there, but maybe you did a backup of an old "Superuser whitelist" app or something and restoring it is causing the "pre-installed" root features to act up? Again, just guessing here :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poddo:
hmm it might be.. maybe TI backup restoring apps+data messed with superuser permissions app coming with cronos.

still, I don't get why autobrightness isn't working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Are you sure it isn't working?

Autobrightness is differently scaled on this ROM. Try going out into the sun. Notice it's bright. Now cover sensor. It will darken. This proves that the sensor is doing the job :)

It's the way the ROM is configured I think
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poddo:
that's exactly what I am doing.

I'll try reflashing later

EDIT: even though I restarted several times inbetween, it seems that killing both superuser permissions and vpn connections apps got them working again, at least for now.

still working on the autobrightness problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Enable USB debugging to enable SU permissions.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sebek_d:
Feeyo,

1.5 holy molly :)

I've been gone for 12 hours.

I have one question regarding services.

I have realized that Gtalk service is always running.

Is that how it's suppose to be?

If you go on 1.4.1 NOC 528 to "Applications" - "Running Services" you will find "gtalk service" running.

Can it affect battery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
gtalk service is always running in the background this is normal. Having multiple services running can and will affect battery.

Although the gtalk service is not consuming so much cpu power so nothing to worry about :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sebek_d:
Thanks, I will sleep better now :)

My phone has been 24 hours running 1.4.1 since the charger has been unplugged - 54% left on my battery. Smashing result, considering that I've been using it and I'm not turning on data connection over night.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poddo:
[ROM] 27 May 2010 - Cronos Droid Version 1.4.1

reflashing has fixed the autobrightness.

strange thing is that also in complete darkness (or covering sensor with finger) the lower it gets is like 30% of maximum.

maybe it is intended to work like this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sebek_d:
lucky you, I still cannot get auto brightness to work on my hero....

P.S: I did hundreds of flashes :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bryanarby:
maybe it's time to question your hardware?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
I don't know. I can swear auto-brightness wasn't working for me at first. Now it is. But like it was said before, it doesn't go dim enough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
lol welcome to the flashing club :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schauol1:
Thankyou thankyou thankyou

What more can I say? Great ROM! :)

Used it for some hours now and it is fast, stable and complete. Looks like a keeper.

keep up the good work.

In version 1.3 I had the superuser icon and some java icons in my app menu.

When I upgraded to 1.4.1 those icons are gone...(did a full wipe)

What went wrong? do I have to install something new?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spania:
gnhihihi, good one :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Done! hope I wont be flamed as lier again ;)

Building now and testing it on my hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Hmm. They are also included in 1.4.1 releases mate. Something went wrong I guess.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bryanarby:
currently installing de SDK's.. let's see what i can do with my knowledge of Java and a lil C hehe..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nechmadi:
he said that it worked fine here:

btw in 1.5 i pushed the fonts and it succeeded so if it comes out so soon i'll wait ..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Thanks! Good one to test that out on the 1.5 version. So I can remove that note from my list. woohoo :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Just out of curiousity, what's "BFS"? And how about all those odex files filling up /system/? Is that taken care of in 1.5?

Don't want to bother you, just curious, since 1.4.1 is running really smooth, so can't wait to see what you've got in store for us :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nechmadi:
you think 1.5 will be ready in the next few hours?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I havent been working on anything just yet on the 1.5 rom... Only the hero boot locking issue for some. The rest of my time I have been doing other stuff on the kernel side.

The versions released at this moment are stable enough for usage untill I fix up the 1.5 release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rhamsterman:
Stable enough?

ONLY the best roms on the planet, atm anyway

except maybeeeee.....................

nope, can't think of one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Lol, cheers for the BFS link, a damn long read, but interesting none the less :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
So everything flashed correctly. BFS active on the kernel. I am happy will do some testing on how stability is at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kajba:
Once again Feeyo, Thanks alot and where is the donate button?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bryanarby:
he's a saint.. as he does this for free(would still donate lol:P) =D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
No donations like I said before. Thanks anyhow.

Look on him. The only person who doesnt want money for his work. Saint ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felata:
yes, in rom package
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
That's right, so make sure you vote his thread 5 stars. I have seen other roms with a higher average and they aren't half as fast and not as stable.

That's right, I've already voted 5 stars.

Re: [ROM] 27 May 2010 - Cronos Droid Version 1.4.1

It could be easy but its working on Modaco.

I thought its a hardware but after coming back to Modaco yesterday (only for 30min :) sorry Feeyo) i proved myself that it is not a hardware issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olson:
Reinstalled 1.4.1

Now my Superuser icon is there and also the Javabox icon.

But on startup: com.esmertec.android has fc. and also a com.cooliris. bla bla. did a fc.

Superuser also FC now...

Cleared the dalvik cache already... but no result..

help

As far as i can see.. the rest works fine!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Not good. I havent seen 1 post with that many fc's reported before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moimoimoi963:
I can't manage to have this rom working...

First i downloaded the one with JIT @528:

-I have lots of FC of HTC sence, so i'm forced to use the other home (which i forgot the name^^)

-wired tether doesn't work, or maybe i don't know to use it... i plug my pc under W7, i active tethering, and nothing happens... If i active and then i plug, same result :(

So then i downloaded the stable version: i'm blocked on a black screen after the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen

Of course, i wiped everything before flashing those 2 roms

I don't know what to do now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Following this thread, I only find time to play with new ROM versions during the weekends, this time Villainrom 6.1 vs Cronos Droid 1.4.1. +/- JIT.

To make it short I have updated now from Cronos Droid 1.1 to 1.4.1 without JIT. From my user point of view it is the fastest and most stable 2.1.Sense I ever had.

Quite a pitty that in spite of initial excellent performance (4.x and 5.x up to 5.2) the VillainRoms have lost stability and got so overloaded that they also have become slow. My impression is that this was due to a lack of rigorosity in development and the not so unproblematic epansion to team development which shurely can be helpful but needs much more investment in strict cordination, difficult to optain in a non-profession environment. Todays outburst by nprussell as a reaction to a slightly provocative comment from Feeyo (understandable after the initial flaming from several of the VR team) gave me the impression of a loosers frustration.

Hope of course to see further improvements in the Cronos roms, avoiding the problems we saw in VR roms. Therefore my wishes:

1. keep it simple

2. keep it stable

3. nothing against fanyc stuff (JIT, OTA updating, live wallpaper ...), but only if it doesn't affect 1 + 2

4. keep you hands personally on the rom

5. dont forget your wife, child a have a beer from time to time

Just my 2 cents
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Um... How come I don't have root access??? I tried to do a titanium backup and it told me i dont have root access =S this only occurred after 1.4.1 OC (this is when there were two releases OC and non OC) i wiped and reflashed and no change =\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Was that really all necessary?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nemo0815:

Hi! And welcome.

To be honest after reading your point number 5.. I dropped. I haven't been giving them any attention the last couple of days.. They know that when I get into a project sometimes I lock myself up until I got it finished. But still you really pressed a finger straight to the heart :)

And yes I agree with the other points also. Stable/Simpel/Fast.

All other extra's should be for the users itself.

Thanks again for your post.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Ok I ripped out the bugger dalvik creation in the initrd :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Me neither.. I think ill just remove it from the next builds. I still can not find how to add usb tethering in the usb popup. If anyone could give me a hint..please do so.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sychie:
Hey users, how about MMs. Works? To me, not
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Have a look at http://www.lvlacleod.com/mms_fix.html

Edit: Or look at the original post, which also links to that guide, and another version without screenshots...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Yeah those are added as update/extra packages. (Just to be sure they get pushed in)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felata:
VillainROM 6.1 is using BFS kernel, but it is very unstable in my hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sychie:
tmh, and you think i didnt se this fix;) I did, and it is not workin,. Thats why I am asking
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Well, you didn't say so, didn't you ;) Sounds odd if this isn't working for you - are you sure the settings you enter are 100% correct? And can you see the changes you made to telephony.db in Messages -> Settings -> Connection settings?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sychie:
It true, i didnt say this. Eveythink is set 100% good. Question is, is it working at all. To anyone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Is that so? I did not know they got BFS already backported to the 2.6.29 kernel... Oh well. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Sounds odd - if everything is set correct and you can see the changes, you should be good to go. Mine's working at least, after I followed that guide :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olson:
Finally,

Wiped everything... format the sd, but didn't recreate an ext2 partition for my apps.

Now... SU works. no FC....

Thanks Feeyo!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sychie:
Ok, thank you ;)

Have to be something wrong into my settings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Yes sir I always have it enabled but no root still =\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raajkay:
Is it stable in the version you compiled?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Seems stable yeah. I am doing a Cronos Version 1.5 RC1 now on my phone. Will check if stable enough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Hi Everyone.

I've been lurking in this topic for a few days and am amazed at how good this rom sounds (and at the speed at which Feeyo is updating things and tweaking!)... obviously I am considering trying it out.

I have a few questions I need to ask first though.

I am currently on Kimera 1.5 (it was my first rom install, went well!)

I will do a nandroid backup, backup all my apps, messages, etc.

When I wipe.. do I wipe every item in my 'wipe' menu list on RA-v1.6.2 ?

(wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Dalvik, Wipe SD:ext partition, wipe battery, wipe rotate settings) or do I just wipe data, battery and rotate?

Is partitioning the card easy? (didn't have to do it for Kimera)

I have seen the guide on fixing the MMS above (very handy, thank you) but could I just copy the file from my system to my sd using root explore or similar?

as I do not have the SDK on this computer and my broadband speed is pretty awful to have to download it. :o

I'm guessing this ROM doesn't have the long SMS split bug that others do? seeing as its not posted in the OP?

That's about it really...

Sorry for the long winded post... :(

Thanks!

*hope I can get this installed tonight once the above is answered :D*
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Hi and welcome :)

Thanks for the compliments.

About the wiping, yes better to wipe everything. also the batt and rotating settings.

reformatting the card is not that hard. just choose the option Partition sdcard from the recovery menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I can only repeat what everyone else is saying: GREAT ROM, GREAT work, i really appreciate it, but you should seriously take a break when you've released 1.5 cause you are human right? :D Once again thank you:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Hope that answered your questions :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raajkay:
Are you planning to release a version tonight or would that be tomorrow? The Cronos droid has been the fastest and most stable 2.1 ROM I have used (I have tried quite a few).

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I did add some release notes to first post. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
You shouldn't need to do it for this ROM either. I have never partitioned my SD card. Probably never will. I don't load enough apps or carry around enough data to warrant it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Thank you both! :D:D:D

Just as well you mentioned backing up the SD card before the format as in my state of mind at the moment (ie, trying to work out how to get it loaded as fast as possible!) I would have ended up formatting straight over the backup!

I'll give my way a go first, if that still doesn't work I will stick the SDK to download overnight and give that a whirl in the morning. :)

Once again thanks both! been a really great help! Can't wait to finally have 2.1 running on the Hero! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
What about installing that .apk with a file manager?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Did you do an "adb remount" first? That will mount the /system filesystem as R/W.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Just for kicks, here is a list of files I remove from any ROM I use. I unzip the ROM, run a script that goes through this list and removes any of those files from /system/app. I then re-zip and re-sign and flash.

Needless to say, I have plenty of space in /system!! :D

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
sorry for the extra post again... :o

Is it worth me waiting for the 1.5 build to be released before flashing? especially as it will sort out the memory issues?

Or shall I give 1.4.1 a pop and then reflash tomorrow?

(guessing I wont need to wipe and lose everything again? just re-flash on top?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] intronauta:
Install wavesecure in /system/app is irrelevant, works fine in /data/app. But the problem comes when I try to delete some apps in this folder. Simply I can't. I've tried with adb remount (obvious) and SU File manager (rw permissions) but nothing....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Not sure when I will be releasing it. I just lost a lot of stuff while testing RC1.

I am guessing it will be tomorrow. Or late tonight.

You can give the 1.4.1 518 a try. And tomorrow flash it over with 1.5 if you want.

Is it possible to have a lower default brightness level in the "automatic-brightness" settings? It is something like twice the default brightness in 1.5 roms... O_o Where are these settings stored? Build.prop? Or what? Thank you in advance ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Yes true. Got fired because I always meant what I said. And they did not want to give me a raise! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kajba:
Is it possible you can send me the script? =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Personally, I have it installed to /system/app for WaveSecure.

I have worked on stuff with the devs before, and they told me that this release has a new feature when installed to /system/app. Basically, the app can now enable GPS when you send a tracking request to the phone, so that you get an accurate location, even if GPS is off or the thief disables it.

I don't know what the issue is here, but I guess it could be a free space issue or something.

Certainly, I've got it installed fine to /system in VR6, but i don't know why it cant install to this ROM. IMHO, this is one feeyo might want to look at, as it makes it a lot more secure when the app is in this folder, else a wipe/hard reset will remove WaveSecure from the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
In the xml's customize folder. But you can edit it with the Brightness control program in the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
I tried Modaco with compcache a while back. It was faster without.

If you get the itch to put it in, please make it so we can disable it.

What does this mean? That JIT and Sense cannot be used together like all other JIT 2.1 roms, or have you figured our something new?

Cheers...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
This means the JIT version is not supporting SenseUI. :)

And by the way I am not brave enough yet to look into the dalvik JIT source code.
