Future of CronosDroid

Hey Feeyo

Until the release of Villain 10 i used always your Cronos Droid.

After testing Villain10 i missed the absolut stunning speed of your rom.

So, did a fresh install of 1.5.1 JIT, and this rom is so blazing fast.

I really respect the work of all rom cookers, but you are the best one man show on earth!!!

I wanted to aks you how your future rom's will look?

1.5x is based on cdma port, right? And 1.6x is based on gms taiwan, right?

What will be you next release number, and will you continue on both bases?

Thanks for your hard work!

Report on Cronos Droid Version 1.6.1

After using a few days

Works:

1. HTC Sense,

2. Widgets,

3. GPS,

4. WiFi,

5. Camera,

6. Overclock to 710MHZ.

Not works or with problem:

1. After using some time, the multi-touch function fails (i.e. cannot use multi-touch. Need to reboot in order to use it again)

2. 3D Gallery Force Close when pressing the Camera icon button.

3. Overclock problem: when I use less than or equal to 245 MHz during screen off mode, when I turn on the screen again the resolution and the colour of the screen downgrade.

Overall I think this rom is quite stable and work great! :D

It would be great if the Rom include HTC_CIME, haha. :D

Thankyou very much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
Nothing you can do about the overclock problem though. It's just too low for your phone.

I've been using 1.5.1 myself and it's an awesome ROM. Everything is working as far as I know.

I'll probably stay on this one for a while now. I don't want to upgrade to 1.6 and the next ROMs that will be based on the official ROM. Having French as a main language on my phone is really important for me. Maybe not flashing anymore is for the better anyway, I've been doing it like a madman recently. :D

Thanks for all your hard work Feeyo, you've really given a second life to my Hero. I appreciate the efforts you've put into this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bryanarby:
on .3: the color problem with 245 is normal :) we also recommend not using 245, but only higher while screen off, as multiple people had their phone unable to pop out of screen off (didn't even make it to the lock screen)

those other 2 are new..

btw, which version are you running? because 1.6.* is just plain asking for trouble.. camp on 1.5.1 until 1.6 is moved from unstable to stable :)

but on .1: i've never had that happen to me.. it could be because i ignore certain system processes with TasKiller. Just checked, I DID have to try 2~3 times before it (sluggish) responed, afterwards it was fine again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bryanarby:
There IS multi-language support and font pushing.. problem: 1.6 isn't stable yet.

also: "based on official" means; changing framework, but keeping the Cronos kernel :) there are also some new goodies on the official ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deanguqiang:
the multi-touch issue may happen to every OC rom. maybe it's a bug form OC kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
But the multilanguage support is nowhere near as complete as in 1.5.1. Most of the locales remain in English. That's okay though, I'm happy with what I have at the moment. Plus we're probably not too far away from getting a WWE 2.1, so I can wait until then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thanhcong:
I'd like to report another problem: I cannot recover if I did backup in nandroid + ext!!! It happens to every version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
I flashed the 1.6.1 version. I had flashed it before the "unstable" word appeared. haha :D So, I am now waiting for the new stable version.

Also, I would like to ask one more question. I am not using some of the pre-installed app like the pdfViewer, Peep etc. So, How can I removed those unwanted apps when I flashed the rom? Is it true that I can open the .zip file and just delete the pair of the files (.apk and .opex) in order to achieve the goal? Anybody knows how to do that? Please help. Thankyou very much. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
You can remove it with adb shell. or from the zip but you do need to know how to resign the zip.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
you can use an app called Titanium Backup to delete unwanted system apps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msiviter:
Sorry, I know this is an 'unstable' ROM but it's too unstable to test for me. From a full clean install I had the foillowing:

FC HTC mail always

FC HTC messages always

FC other sense functions

voicemail indication intermittent.

However it flew at 710 overclock.

I'll be back, but I'm going to sit on 1.5.1 for a bit until 1.6 is really ready.

Good work, made my bro jealous of the speed compared to his new Desire!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Can you install by any chance "dev tools" and say why the first two FC? Just curious why etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I havent seen these FC's on any of the builds. Sense FC I understand but those?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
is it possible to add options like this in sense roms?

thats from a cyanogen rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
It is possible yeah. I do not have this in my to do list though. As my ap2sd is working already 100%. I do not see the need for something like this?

Any thoughts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ivanngwl:
Setting and confirguration...

I just flash to v1.6, have a few questions.

1) How do i input chinese during sms?

2) do i need to do anything to activate app2sd?

3) Anyway i can do to hide sim contact from people?

4) After flashing the v1.6 rom, do i need to add any apps or what i should do to improve the perforamce although it is good now?

I'm a newbie here, hope to get some help here, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ok scrap that idea, how about this option where I you have the option where to install an app. http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2149

I know there are certain apps I would want on my phone mem should i ever change memcard so this will be very useful. Also a reboot device like the aosp roms when holding the power button would be nice. Ideal for going in recovery and flashing files

At least make it as an optional update zip

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
I thought you could not reboot into recovery flash? Is there any trick for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
If I want to remove from the .zip, do you mean that I just delete both .apk and .odex files (for e.g. PDFViewer.apk and PDFViewer.odex)? Then flash the .zip again.

You mention that "you do need to know how to resign the zip" I do not understand. Can you explain? thx~

If I use the adb shell to remove the unwanted apps? Are the following steps correct?

1. Boot to recovery mode.

2. Type the corresponding command from the adb shell to remove the app.

3. After that, reboot the phone?

Thankyou very much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ThunderRoad:
If you want a easy way to remove stuff from /system/data, use "Root·Explorer", is in the market, and forgot to use commands via ADB...

apps

is there a way to keep the installed apps, when upgrading roms (for example from 1.5.1 to 1.6.) ?

ty
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Apologies, just checked again and it was actually 224, I'll edit my previous post.

I really can't understand what I'm doing wrong, it's driving me insane!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Titanium Backup works perfectly. Easy to backup your apps as well as restoring them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarki99:
ty for your help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarki99:
do u know how apps2sd works too?

it should be included in cronos 1.5.1 but i cant find it.

would want to try it once...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Apps2SD automatically works with the ROM.

I have well over 100 apps on my Hero and my internal memory has only dropped around 7MB, maybe even less.

Download all your apps, or restore them through Titanium and do a before and after of the space on your phone. You should be able to see the difference straight away.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarki99:
oh, ok. ty again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avenge the rage:
Having the same problem mate, even used mmszap and gscript and still no luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
MMSZap and GScript won't work, you need to edit telephony.db as described in the links in the first post :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Already edited, and still no luck. Anyone with working Orange able to check their settings to mine posted above?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
I think this is a common problem for 2.1 ROMS but I ran the g-sensor calibration and portrait to landscape has stopped working properly. Does anyone know how i can reset to default settings?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikeyd85:
Yours match mine. I'm running 1.6, had to enter them in manually then turn mobile data off/on and it worked fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hanness:
Hi, feeyo..

Is it possible to change the bootscreen manually ? I don't really like the bootscreen atm, and the bootscreen 'computerfreak' posted doesn't install on cronos 1.5. If you could just give the adb commands ? thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Hey Feeyo.

We haven't really heard much from ya in the last few days.

How's 1.6 coming along?

This has been the slowest couple of days in the thread since you started releasing :)

How ya doin man?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dienvids:
Feeyo is there any way to flash your OC kernel over rooted official 2.1 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
Me too. I've tried sending a MMS for the first and it didn't work, even after editing the telephony.db with the correct settings.

Using Handcent, it looks as if it gets sent because the rotating thing disappears, but the person I've been sending it to didn't receive anything.

I can't say if it's because of the ROM or my settings since I've never tried before, even while using the stock ROM.

Oh well, I never use MMS anyway. :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
I think the Wifey might have taken over for a couple of days, we'll just have to wait until either he escapes or he sends her to her mum's. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
Quoting myself here. The telephony.db trick on page 1 actually worked for me! I just had to wait for half an hour. :D

My operator is Virgin Mobile in France.

I guess now everything is working for me using 1.5.1 stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I am including some telephony.db crap in the next release :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fc_Kuro:
Excellent. When are you planning 1.7 release?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bebou:
Hi Feyoo, can you put a louder max volume on version 1.6 please. ( edit: Especially with Headset )

I'm actually on 1.5.1 => nothing to say, very smooth ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Check it out new release notes. ROM is uploaded Soon :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
How much can we underclock the CPU with this ROM? Is 160mhz possible when screen off?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joaann:
Waiting for the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skuum:
Feeyo or anyone to answer..

Coming from Cronos Version 1.5.1 upgrading to 1.7, Do i need to do a full wipe? Or just wipe data or cache?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
no need to repartition or wipe. Although not wiping can leave you with old packages on your system.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
Thanks. I guess I rejoiced too soon because most of the time my earlier settings aren't working. I'll see what happens with 1.7.

Still, I managed to send 3 MMS, not sure what's up with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Xaladilnik:
hi and thank you for the rom,

which radio rom i have to use for 1.7? 6.35.09.26 or 6.35.15.01?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
You can use latest radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
Ok, just found the answer (sorry, I was kinda discouraged by the 400+ pages...); 245mhz is the minimum for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
160Mhz?! :eek:

Can your phone go that low? I can't even set mine at 245Mhz or the screen goes puple.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joaann:
I set my phone at 122 MHz when screen is off and works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dbdbdb2:
JIT?

is this ROM (version 1.7) have JIT enabled?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
how long till uploaded mate? plus hows battery life on 1.7. cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
Yeah, it depends on the OC kernel. 122mhz works very good with the last VanillaEclair.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I am putting a JIT version online tomorrow for testing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Feeyo, without sounding condescending, how sure are you that the MMS is now working?

I have just gone back to Villain 10 because I couldn't get it to work on the previous release.

Also, what is the battery life like with this release?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I havent tested mms...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DarthOps:
Hey Feeyo, just wondering something,

Is it possible for you to provide a kernel with BFS enabled, I have major problems with spotify on kernels using the standard scheduler (spotify cuts out whenever you do something else with the phone). the BFS seems to help it tremendously!

I don't know how much hassle this would be for you but I'd be extremely grateful if you could, Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Thanks for the quick response.

What about battery life?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] starfarer:
maybe try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=689829. I was testing to see any ill effect on day-to-day usage without any apparent speed gain on cronos 1.4.1. Let us know how it handle.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I will add an update.zip tomorrow with BFS.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DarthOps:
wow! thanks very much, I'll look forward to it! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Sorry I am postponing this release as I am having some little issues with the latest tests...

I will be releasing it tomorrow. Sorry guys, better be safe then sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:

probably no.

there is no official based rom including simplified Chinese here yet.

No need to say sorry for the delay. Great work!!!!!!!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] godovic:
Do we need swap? or just ext2 and fat32?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raajkay:
Hi Feeyo, Will wait for your release. One quick question - is the 1.7 based on a sprint hero release or is it based on the GSM Taiwan release on 4th Jun? The dialer problem could have been caused if it was based on the US ROM. Either way, a BFS ROM would be great to have as an update.zip as indicated by you. The true value of BFS can only be realised when the CPU is stressed like in the use of Spotify.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] merckey:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xmaskx:
great thanks to your rom anyway.

actually stuck on 1.5 running very good.

your new changelog is absolutely AWESOME!

looking really forward to it, take the time you want to complete all the stuff, but anyway saw your last results knowing that you will anyway do so.

you are doing an excellent job. tried severeal times to change to villain, but always got back to cronos droid, because it runs and is stable.

i really am thinking about trying cronos linux instead of my cheeky ubuntu :D

just one q about your ROM - any plans of adding HTC_ime keyboard to it?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] de_annere:
Yeah, would be great!

One more question from me:

coming from villain10 to cronos 1.7, do I need a wipe?

Thanks for the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxniper:
Yes you will do need a full wipe

Re: [ROM] 09 Jun 2010 - Cronos Droid Version 1.7 Fully Stable

Is your forum @ cronosproject.com enabled for tapatalk feeyo?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
wow what a changelog man! this seems like the best Cronos release ever!!

will be waiting to flash 1.7 too, i got bored of the taiwan repack. :P

two minor (but for me important stuff) i missed in your ROMs and is included in the original 2.1 (and Donut)

first when you have a bluetooth headset connected, you can answer from the headset but if you answer from the phone, the sound goes on the phone (in cases you cant find your headset)

second, the end call button always ends the call (in your ROMs if the screen was OFF and you pressed end call, it just opened the screen and not end the call)

i dont know if you can control them but it would be nice!

one more thanks for your efforts man ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akuma24:
Excellent changelog, I second the issue with end call, the button doest appear to end the call, just wakes the screen up and I have to press the end call button on the screen as oppose to the button.

In regards to blue tooth, I still havent managed to connect the phone to the car cd player. small issues though :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
You have to press the end call button twice. You don't need to press the one that's one the screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
nope, on pauls rom i press it once when screen if off and it ends call

also feeyo will u deodex this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
I know, that's why I said you need to press it TWICE using Feeyo's ROM. ;)

I think it's been since like this since 1.4. Before that, you only needed to press it once to end a call, even if the phone screen was turned off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Quick question, is the Voice Input button on the keyboard part of the official 2.1 ROM? I noticed it was missing from Cronos.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MarkMcLovin:
Has anyone noticed a significant change in battery usage when going from 1.4 to 1.5?

Normally it will last at least 2 days with normal amount of use of internet, updates etc.

I upgraded last night with about 80% battery, and I wouldn't normally need to charge it until tomorrow night, but it's in the red already. Not used GPS and mobile internet was on for about an hour or so (when normally it or wifi is on all the time) and it's in the red already. Up time is 16:35 and awake time is 1:20.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
I'm amazed at people saying they get more than 1 day's worth of usage from their phone.

On stock 1.5 I got around 13 hours and on Cronos 1.6 I get slightly less... I do have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on permanently but apart from that can anyone tell me why I get such low performance?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Type *#*#4636#*#*, press Phone Information and check if Network type is GSM auto (PRL)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arasthel:
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drains your battery life a lot. Also, I suppose that people having 1-2 days their phones working don't have too many background processes and don't "awake" their phones a lot. I have like 1 day battery life if I don't use it too much (1 or 2 web pages, bluetooth and wifi usually off, some calls and sms...).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
I tried this yesterday and it didn't seem to affect battery life at all :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
I'll try with bluetooth and wifi off tomorrow and see how that affects performance. I don't really use it much during the day (while at work) so I was quite suprised at the battery usage.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MarkMcLovin:
I was getting over a day on the stock 1.5 but when I rooted and put on Chronos, my battery lasted much longer (even more when I changed the network type). Now going from 1.4 to 1.5 has degraded the battery quite a bit and yet I'm not even using it as I'm in work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Giacc69:
I never use bluetooth..

But Wifi.. No matter why u last only 13 ours...

A smartphone isn't a modem plugged into AV... Turning on wifi is like putting your smartphone in your pocket while it's playing a video with the sound... no matter what phone/brand you have.

If u have 3G, you d better turn this on instead... It drains really minor battery. Otherwise turn your wifi when u need it, or simply turn it off sometime. You can also make the "automaticly turn wifi off" time shorter so that when asleep ur phone would autmaticly switch it off after 4-5 min.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slovoflud:
That's not true

WIFI uses less battery because of the way it searches for signals in comparison to 3G network.
