Installed 2.1.1 - OpenVPN doesn't work anymore with same settings as it did at 2.0.1 with patch.

Can connect but cannot ping.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Anyone dare to compare this ROM with RaduG's CE performance vise, smoothness, 3D etc ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
You can connect?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mehumummo:
I can connect to vpn (on logs everything looks fine) but then no connections to/from phone can be made using vpn.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Did you install vpn installer from the market? This fixes it most of the times.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pcs333:
I can't sync 'Facebook for HTC Sense' account.

Everytime I try to sign in it says that the service is unavailable.

i`m also getting the same error on villain12 as well, although the sync works ok on cyanogen roms.

any ideas ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I am looking at it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pcs333:
many thanks feeyo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mehumummo:
Oh last time I had played with installed then patch didn't work. Got to nandroid restore and then patch. I imagined that installer would just mess it up since you have OpenVPN support.

Will try that later :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Maybe some symlink is missing at the moment and with openvpn installer it will fix the symlink.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wormstein:
VPN

VPN works fine on 2.1.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Thanks Wormstein! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tiagobt:
Feeyo,

Thanks for all the work! This ROM is working great on my phone. Stable, fast and battery life has never been better.

I have a question though. I'm new to SetCPU, so I was wondering what configuration works best with this ROM (governor, frequencies and profiles). I'd like my phone to be as responsive as possible, but I don't need it to be super fast.	Battery life is a priority to me. What would you guys recommend?

Thanks,

Tiago
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Hi, thanks.

I recommend the default governor. (Conservative Governor). This is specially configured to use as less battery power as possible keeping the speed as stable as possible.

Enjoy your Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] conradwoo:
I'm trying to get Facebook integration working but everytime I try and sync, it doesn't grab any other contact but myself. Looking at the logcat, I see something like :

com.htc.socialnetwork.SocialNetworkException errorCode: 2000

while it tries to grab the contacts. What's happening here?

Other than this, the rom is working perfectly! Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Aye Riemervdzee is working on this issue the moment we speak. It will get fixed soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tiagobt:
Has anyone managed to get live wallpapers working in this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
You will need to swap over to another launcher like LauncherPro.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pcs333:
launcherpro is default isn`t it ???

anyway great rom feeyo

couple of things, launcherpro f.c`s on me when i changed some of the settings, so i ended up reflashing cus couldn`t get it to work.

the other thing, my home button is not working, i`m hoping my button is ok.

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
This ROM has the HTC Sense/rosie launcher.

Maybe you are confused with the 2.2 release? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pcs333:
yeah silly me, wrong forum...............sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
I just write something to put this ROM to the top of the forum, it deserves it :D

I think it is the best performance 2.1 ROM for Hero : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ayk33:
i've been using many roms for a long enough time and honestly this is my final before froyo. this is really the best of 2.1. Now i'm waiting for froyo to be well cooked :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Yeah we really got a lack of posts. You would almost think there is noting bad to report on this ROM :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chris4chelsea:
i m having this problem as well... anyone has this problem and can fix it? tks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
This is an issue from HTC, FB itself. Nothing to worry about I guess. When they fixed it it will work again for us.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
I can't get HTC sync to find my phone at all for the last few releases of this rom.

Is there something extra I need to do, or is it meant to not work like that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
what's HTC sync?

;->
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
Can anyone help with MMS, I've done the fix (link) on the first post and it still doesn't work.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] honser:
Facebook works since this morning! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] victorsiqueira:
I don't think this matters anymore but, as I'm only reading this now: did you read the text I quoted by killer4o, which I agreed? Again, the problem wasn't the others asking for it, but HOW they asked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Superfast, I take my hat of for you sir. Only problem still existing is the green pictures.

Any chance on fixing this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
It works for 80% of the people. I will upload a fix for the people that are having problems tonight. Thanks for the heads up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
This is not true, I test the roms cleaning and repartitioning my sdcard. So I am sure I have nothing left on it. The rom flashes perfectly. I think there is a bad download somewhere as people stated there are different sizes uploaded by multiupload dot com. Please check the md5sum hashes when your rom is downloaded to be sure it is correct.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
lol no comment :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flywithme:
This rom is great!

Great speed! Great performances!

Can't wait for another update!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] norpan111:
It's freaking imbossible to search through the thread for solutions, why won't you just start a new thread for those who want to discuss. Let this thread be about this Rom and support :( I get something about a missing file and installation aborted. If anyone know about this kinda issue please help :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
I'm grateful, thank's!

One question with the market: it goes slow! When connecting, often comes the advice about network connection problem, I tip retry (2 or 3 times) and it installs. When an app is installed, still the windows of market says it's installing, I have to quit market and re-enter it to normalize...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkazakov13:
Please, add some versioning ... really needed. Don't know what I've downloaded and if it's the last version ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
May random freezes, usually at boot time, but once happened after 5 minutes working... With nothing particular in logcat :/ I think the kernel may not be perfect yet...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scuj1:
This..... works! (won't allow me to quote with the link - click on the arrow for original post)

Thank you.

ROM = Wow!

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bahaddin:
mobile network doesnt work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] unika:
could you please tell me how you turned on other languages? did you add some files to the ROM or changed existing files? please give more details, i do not want to download a whole rom again (got slowwwwwwww link :).

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
headphones

I just noticed it doesnt turn on headphones when plugged in. Just plays music over the speaker
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Ignore this post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oc2:
I installed MoreLocale2 from Market, changed to German and now my one is German! Not only keyboard.

hf
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] unika:
The million dollar question is how to add languages to the keyboard? ;)

I don't care for the UI, I want to be able to enter non-english characters.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] castra:
AWESOME

Installed it last night and things are looking great so far. This rom is faster than Villain 5.5 which I was using before this one. Keep up the good work.

PS

It would be nice to see this one with out (non)SENSE :D pure vanila android flavor is the best.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Linnyuk:
Mine works fine. Anyone else having an issue where the volume does not work when in sleep?

Freeyo - Thanks for the awesome ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raikan123:
what the difference between

Stable:

* Fixed: htcppts boot up error

* Fixed: g-sensors

* Removed: VoiceMail app.

* Optimized: Dalvik caching.

and the one uploaded by robocik ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
MMS fix shouldn't be necessary since about Cronos 2.0, due to the ROM being based on official HTC update. Did you try simply adding your MMS settings in the APN settings?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bibow:
no friendstream?

Just flashed the 2.1.1 and I cant find friendstream?

Everything else is awesome btw =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Thanks. Unfortunally friendstream is not included and I kinda gave up to get it working straight out of the box. Sorry :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] conradwoo:
After 2-3 days of running 2.1.1, I'm noticing that this version doesn't seem to be as responsive/speedy (I came from 1.4). Do I need to OC or something? I'd prefer not to, but if I have to I will. I also notice that my battery gets hotter, even during screen off and idle states. Is it really doing that much in the background?

Also, com.htc.bgp has FC'd on me at least 3 times.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Did you wipe everything before installing this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vavy:
3 hours uptime - no FCs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] conradwoo:
Yes I did a full wipe as well as repartitioned my SD card.

EDIT: I had a full charge this morning (@6am taken off the charger) and I'm already down to 61% battery. Is this normal??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
Yes I did, still no luck :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
I think there is something active which keeps the phone in an active state. Are you sure you clear notificiations for sms messages, mails etc.?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] conradwoo:
Yes, everything is cleared. I've only received 3 email and SMS notifications today. Maybe I should try reflashing? I noticed the slower (than 1.4) performance as soon as I booted the first time and second time. But I kinda just figured it was optimizing stuff in the background.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Yeah you need a couple of reboots before everything is in order. Anyway, are you using a killer? I really can recommend to kill some apps which are useless and suck up some cpu cycles anyway.

There is an autokiller built-in though, but a seperate app killer might be nice as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thefaun:
Upgraded from 1.3.x last night and am very happy I have. A full day of use and it's working great. That's why I keep coming back to cronos: mo' stable!

What's on the cards for the future?

My only extra request from this iteration would be to be able to use live wallpapers with the rosie launcher. Not sure if it'd be possible to port this functionality from the newer HTC phones though..?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nemo0815:
I'm currently having the problem of not being able to send SMS messages. Whenever i try to send the phone immediately reports an error in the status bar claiming that the message could not be sent after several retries.

If i repeat the message by long pressing on it and re-send it finally works after several tries, but i actually never had that before 2.1.1 (with the pervious version this was never an issue).

Is that a known thing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Not really a known bug, yet that is. If more users can confirm this then we will have a look at it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Haven't had a single sms/mms error on 2.1.1 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] conradwoo:
I've actually had something similar happen almost all the time after going from the stock htc rom (Telus) to Cronos 1.4. It doesn't always take several retries, but usually (2 out of every 3 SMS sent) will fail on the first try. And then successfully send later. I've almost come to expect that it will happen. I'm using handcent sms if that matters.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
This is correct on the older versions there were problems with mms/sms. But should really be fixed in the 2.x series.

Can everyone that has problems with mms/sms please post here?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] conradwoo:
It's still happening to me on 2.1.1, although with less frequency it seems. Maybe 1 in 4 SMS sent? ..

Another thing on battery life, do notifications really kill the battery? I had received a SMS overnight while sleeping, and when I woke up, I had the battery charge warning (<15%). I went to bed with around 90% battery. As far as I know, my Handcent SMS is set up for pop-up notification and then time out the screen after 30 seconds, same with the LED notification. What would cause my phone to waste so much battery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I had my phone at 100% battery at 11 pm last night. went to bed, played games for half an hour in bed (I know I know), set my alarm, had notifications going off so wife woke me to turn them down LoL. Woke up to it's alarm, watched streaming video for a couple minutes, played a game for a few minutes, drove to work, had multiple notifications, have both gmail and exchange setup (both set for push).

now after 12.5 hours am at about 42% more or less battery.

That's pretty good for a sense rom.

I have no sms stuff going on though as it costs me money each time, so only stock messaging app is there, not handcent etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Release Notes:

2.1.2

* This kernel will also be available as a kernel update only in the kernel patches thread.

Enjoy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pontefix:
i've encountered this bug recently.

Solution:

My SMS-Centers number was missing. you can normally define it in the SMS app in the options. This is only present in Sense ROMs.

In Vanilla-Roms, you have to dial this number: *#*#info#*#*

Then go to Phone Info, in the bottom you will find a field called SMSC. Enter your carriers SMS-Central number here, press Update or apply or whatever its called.

This, at least, fixed my SMS problems.

Good Luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow! SEE, you keep giving reason to flash a new rom. darnit... ;->
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barretta_bg:
I was always wondering... what is the better choice of overclocking software for the last kernel (*.-38). OCWidget or SetCPU? 'Cos I've noticed that they perform differently with every single ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I mostly use OCW.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
forget it, phone booted :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
took FOREVER to sync google data (contacts etc) to the point where I was just typing a post about it being 30 minutes and must be stuck...

then it was done LoL

so enver mind, but don't freak if it takes a long time guys. could be rom, but also could be slow google servers right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
I have sort of a general question, but how do you keep getting new kernals? It seems like you update your roms way more frequently than other custom 2.1 devs. Isnt our hero on 2.6.29 for 2.1, but you have 2.6.33 on 2.1? And are more recent kernals better in terms of speed and stability? Thanks. May try out your rom soon
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
To answer your questions. Yes I keep releasing kernels as I keep optimizing them source based. About the 2.6.32 kernel this is a very early alpha experiment. I am porting a lot of code from that kernel back to the 2.6.29 kernel. This is just a project and I do not use these 2.6.32 kernels on my roms anymore though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
691/450 conservative. stock kernel.

32.3 FPS neocore sound off no touching. NICE

27.2 fps single held touch. also nice

16.4 with insane multitouch (fast 2 finger drumming in right hand, single finger dragging over small space constantly in left hand. seems the fast drumming really kills it. This is a REALLY tough test though... only possibly absolute worst case real world when playing an elaborate FPS shooter such as toonwarz, and even then only briefly when in a sticky situation).

I'm not using JIT for these tests by the way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1sagain:
boot loop

Help! I just flashed Chronos 2.1.2 from 2.0.2 and im kinda experiencing a LOOP at the

"Quietly Brilliant" page....

it just keeps saying that. blanks out and goes back to it... it did that like 10 times already and im getting worried......

PLEASE HELP..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Having the same now. Gonna try battery out, in, wipe delvik, reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
You need to wipe everything coming from an older release. This is a different base.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1sagain:
Thanks its fixed now haha

Yea... I didnt wipe the SD partition Ext. Now no more boot loops. WOOT!

Thanks again for your awesome work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PulpzillA:
is 2.1.2 the same as just updating the kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ttom99:
Thank you for the great work.

now i have a new daily rom. everything works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Yes it is. You will miss 2 small notes though.

init.d tweak

and gzip fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PulpzillA:
Thanks

would those differences be noticeable to the average user? :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kyuuketsuki:
hello, excuse my question, but if i flash the new version, i have to flash the gzip.fix too ?

thanks for your work :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radine:
some pre-install questions

hi,

Noob here. I am thinking of trying this out instead of villainrom12. Sorry if these have already been answered but it is a long thread.

For apps2sd v12 rom has the swap file on the sd card set to 0. Is it the same for this rom?

Do I need to enable apps2sd or is enabled by default?

Is it safe enough to batch restore the apps and data from v12 to cronos using titanium or is it better to reinstall them individually from apk backup? I am looking for more stability than v12 where sense seems to crash a lot for me.

Thanks a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Not really :) well not much anyhow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
No gzip is already included in the new build
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kyuuketsuki:
Thanks Feeyo :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Swap is set 0 indeed. You can also use a swap partition if you want but I think its a waste of partitions as I am forcing the phone not to use swap.

a2sd is already enabled default if you have a ext partition.

It depends on what you have backed up. If it is only apps then its safe to restore. If its system data then do not restore it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radine:
thanks a lot feeyo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Killbom:
I'm having problems with almost all apps (that i installs, the default are fine) forceclose when trying to launch..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Then you did something wrong. Try wiping all and reflashing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radine:
import bluetooth?

hi,

I always have a problem pairing with my car bluetooth. Is it possible to import the bluetooth settings from villainrom 12 into this rom using Titanium?

Many thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I use my bluetoth car device daily and have absolutely no problem with automatic pairing with the CronosDroid 2.1 roms. Even when updating to a newer version (as recently to CD 2.1.2) the settings are taken over after flashing from the older version with a dalvik wipe.

If you have problems, try to delete your pairing in the car device and your hero and redo afterward the bt pairing process again.

Otherwise you would probably have to go back to the villain rom, if you can live with such rom-quality.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, running this since late afternoon yesterday. it's not midmorning the next day which is sort of a record for me - I haven't found anything wrong yet :-)

fantastic work Feeyo, as I expected since 2.1.1 was also amazing.

you took what I thought was perfection as far as sense roms go and actually made it faster and more perfect.

Great work!

BT pairing went better than with VE5. I turned on bt, turned on my earpiece, held earpiece button until it went into discovery-me mode, and it was done after a few seconds. perfect.

I'm kind of blown away at how thorough you are at this stuff. Like a real developer working on a real product.

There are 3 or 4 other independent rom devs for gsm hero that work as hard as you do and one team that also works very hard at times, but you really seem to have gotten the most impressive results in the last while.

I 100% happy with this rom in the same way I always feel 100% happy with Vanilla Eclair 4.0 (yes, still more perfect to me than 5.0 although 5.0 performs WAY faster in fps gaming).

Of course it's a sense rom which bugs me because it makes it look sort of like my wife's stock 1.5 hero LoL. Which just means I can't keep it on my phone for TOO long or I'll get bored :-)

Nice work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Thanks for your A++ Comments :)

I am working on a AOSP eclair (2.1) build the moment we speak. For the users who are not that fund of Sense and still want to use a nice 2.1 aosp rom with the same speed results if not faster :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
seriously? I can't wait! I guess you've had a lot of aosp experience working on froyo recently - would be nice to see that hard work and experience go into a codebase that is actually complete, more or less (cm5.0.8).

can't wait!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamsud:
Can Anybody provide any theme for this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radine:
very nice rom

hi,

I installed this rom earlier today and I am really impressed. The install was faultless - even my car bluetooth connected first time - normally it is fussy. The whole system is running fast and stable. Definitely my new daily rom until froyo is ready for the big time.

Thanks to feeyo for all the hard work that has gone into this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
is it possible to install launcher pro then uninstall the sense launcher?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rover.prince:
Yes it's possible, simply install Launcher Pro, then in Settings go to Applications > Manage Applications, from there just the Sense Launcher and clear it's default now get out from that and press the Home Button on your hero now u will have both sense as well as Launcher Pro as option choose whichever u like.
