That wont be a good benchmark of measurement between 1st release and current..

The first release had JIT enabled. On any benchmark no matter what the 1st release will be higher.

JIT is a memory hogger, its one of the main reason why darch doesnt include it on our memory constrained Heros. If the rom is new and fresh, has a small dalvik cache, not many apps and not much data, the JIT can make a small good difference. But over time, with more apps downloaded, call logs, texts, app data, dalvik and whatever else would go on your internal memory it will actually slow your phone down if you have JIT enabled because it would take up even more memory. Which our phones need at least a small amount of room to run smooth... Yes there are ways around all this, like autokiller freeing up space, having less apps and deleting ones not used, and keeping everything clean. But for many of the people dont do that and JIT disabled is better for most of the people here..

The only comparison yall are doing is fresh downloads, give it prolonged tests and then compare, i doubt there will be a difference between the 2 roms. If anything the new one will run better.

OK that was all bout JIT.. And like a few said these are alpha builds, the final or beta public releases will be mostly cyanogens builds and be much more closer to darchdroid roms. And probably cleaned up alot more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
There isnt any.. Its not like going from 1.5 to 2.1. The 2.2 didnt add very many big features aside from JIT, native a2sd, and some optimized things within the rom.) The only thing you will see is 2.1 apps updated to work properly on 2.2 and maybe take use of JIT and ap2sd. I dont think anyone made an app for the soul purpose of 2.2. I would stop looking for one.

Edit: it actually made the entire thing more optimized and better.. but still not like going from 1.5 to 2.1

I have 0 force closes and i havent found an app that disliked JIT (though some remain). XDA was the only app i knew that didnt like JIT and its been working fine for me.

Also you will see linpacks 4.5 to 5.4 mflops depending on clock speeds and whats running on your phone. Nothing major in the benchmark world with froyo. But it runs smoother and quicker then 2.1 (for most, theres always those other people)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
I wasn't looking for any 2.2 apps I was just curious
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
I wasn't looking for comparisons between old and new, as I know with changes to JIT, more sensors working and what not that there would be difference. But if it came up with like mid 200's for a score like on 2.1, then it would point to a definite problem. But 380 is a great score for these devices, and says to me that any difference in speed from an older 2.2 build in GUI usage is probably imperceptible and not a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eliseexige:
no force closes here either. this has been incredibly stable.

paired with a seido 3500 battery, i think one would have the perfect combination.

also re keyboard lag...im only noticing it using the stock messaging app....i may switch to handcent and see if that takes away the lag.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
There is atleast one 2.2 app that I absolutely love.

Chrome to Phone. This is the app that was demonstrated when Google first showed Froyo. You install a small app on your phone, and link it to your google account. You also install a Chrome or Firefox extension. Whenever you are browsing the web, looking up directions, linking files, etc. you just click the extension button, and it sends it to your phone within a few seconds.

Chrome to phone apk and extension are here.

http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/

Firefox add-on is here, but still requires the chrome to phone apk from the first link.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161941/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
+1 on handcent. I am using it and see very little to no lag. Only time my Hero is unresponsive is when battery is below 15%.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] temple2101:
Those who are complaining about speed between releases, did you wipe before you flashed the most recent version, or just flashed over existing?

I originally flashed over the version from 6/28 and noticed the same lag issues (swiping between home screens, scrolling was not smooth, etc...). I even Nandroided back to my 6/28 install and still noticed the issues. I ended up wiping completely (factory reset and dalvik) and installing the 7/2 build fresh and it cleared everything up. Definitely faster than the previous and with more "Good ****s." I typically always wipe before I flash, but I thought I would try it this time... seems to prove my theory to always wipe before flashing, but that's just me.

The only issue I'm noticing is that the Gallery does not seem to be fixed when switching to landscape. In the previous release there was a fix we could flash for it. Can we still use that fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
good to know. I might give it a try today. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] illan380:
I had no problems with the previous release. I am now flashing the newer release. I wiped everything before flashing so hopefully I dont have any problems
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeb0921:
I have been using this for my everyday rom now for a few days. So far loving it. I was using beautiful widgets for the clock and weather, but the battery was dying pretty fast with it. I have changed to a more generic clock and using a different weather widget and all seem good so far.

The only thing I miss is the camera, but I am sure that will come in time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
You can disable the percent in the battery indicator by modifying the smali in services.jar. I havent made the change yet since im waiting on my new Hero to arrive next week.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] meth84:
quadrant 393 on latest build

flashed dconfig.apk now got 480 on quadrant current
[Hero CDMA Android Development] urushiol:
yes, but I believe it will break pinch to zoom while in the gallery, I'm not on froyo atm, so I can't confirm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eliseexige:
I did a factory wipe and put on the 7/2 build. Noticeably slower. I didn't benchmark before, so current would be useless to compare to. Not sure about this build, so I may switch back to the previous. I will give it a couple of days.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bootlooper:
The build from 07/02 has been very good so far. I believe it unintentionally solved another problem. I have one of the unlucky heros that cannot boot most of the current roms, including the previous release of this rom. I can boot this release with no problems 100% of the time. Is it possible given the above posts the problem with the non-OC heros is not in the OC but in the JIT? What else changed between previous release and this one? To support this theory I can also boot zenexp 100% of the time and it is overclocked kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Spareparts should have that option somewhere,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PRGUY85:
Yea it was in there before with some other version but not on this one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eliseexige:
i love the screen rotation on all screens now! it wasnt doing that in the previous build. i also have auto brightness and didnt in the last build. looking forward to speed increases. maybe i need to do a hard reset instead of a data wipe...is there even a difference? if not then im not sure why my speed is less this build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
At someone s suggestion I also wiped and reflashed the most current build. It's definitely still slower than the first release. I've restored back to that one for now. Keep up the. Good. Work devs!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinny8030:
i ask again. where is this mysterious froyo for the hero? i wait and wait checking every day and still no new thread on this rom........anyone know where it is?:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Go to the web irc in the first post and log in. You'll find links there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] temple2101:
Did you wipe dalvik as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
Nope. Not it this release. He had it in DarchDroid 2.7 though. No biggie ive got it anyways...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Slipdisc2:
Wow, that wasn't condescending at all. Thanks for your input.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Ah. I've been bouncing back and forth, know one of them had it.

Should just be able to pull the spareparts from 2.7 and push to 2.2 though?

Worth a shot if it bugs you that bad.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
In the tech realm you're expected to "read the f@^king manual". Dont expect anyone in a dev forum to help you with your training wheels. We've all spent time learning by doing and READING to learn. If you want to really participate its generally expected you should be able to do some basic legwork, like reading the OP on a topic for instructions, or searching google for basics.

Sorry for the harsh reality. You will find help, but you generally will get a less than polite brush-off if you dont at least try to find your answer before posting. Its forum 101.

in case you still cant find the first post, i painstakingly hand-coded you a link.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] vidsid:
It's mostly working well for me with a couple of exceptions.

I couldn't load Google sky... it errors out on the install. I have app2sd with an ext partition...could that be the reason? I'll try to load it with no ext partition later to see.

Slingplayer doesn't work at all. It also doesn't work with Darchdroid either. It does work with the deodexed stock rom. Video drivers?

This is definitely fast compared to any other rom I've tried.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
I'm using Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather and my battery life is amazing. Just today after 14 hours a couple texts, and phone calls, my son playing games and doing 2 nandroid backups and restores I'm still at38% which is amazing for this time of day for me. I have BW updating every hour, email updating every 5 minutes, and FB updating every hour, so there's a little data usage there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blakeatl:
Just wondering....when you do a nandroid does it backup your apps as well or do I have to use sprite backup or titanium backup?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wadeheisen:
nandroid basically makes an image of your phone minus certain application data like text messages. When you restore from a nand it's like putting your phone exactly back to where it was when you made the backup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blakeatl:
Great!! Thanks for the response.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
It has always backed up text messages for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
Same here. It always restores everything 100% for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
staying in the irc for hours has finally paid off lol he got the camera fixed. im downloading it now. its not in the notepad though. ask in the irc
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
Whaaaaat?

This is a bit off topic, but.. Hey, did you guys see linpack for the Hero lately? The hero (apparently) got 47.072 MFLOPS on FroYo at 1.2 ghz, but what I noticed, was that under device/rom, it says PC36100. That's the model number or whatever for the Evo 4g. So I guess they mixed it up. I freaked the hell out when I first saw this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] illogic6:
I'm in ur IRC, flashin' mah nand
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outcome:
After the test1 update released tonight:

1. Video camera records audio, but only a black screen, no video.

2. Still camera works without preview. Lags a bit after you click the button and you hear the shutter sound.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
just flashed . booting now. will let you know how it goes. they said to download a 3rd party camera app from the market and it will work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
was a little disapointed. camera works somewhat. recorder dont work. really wasnt any faster than my nfinitefx45 sense OC rom. i think ima hold out till we get a working sense froyo
[Hero CDMA Android Development] illogic6:
We're definitely almost there. Chances are Darch will have what little issues there are left cleaned up in the next few days.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
oh i dont have a doubt in my mind that he wont. its just not enough of anything to make me wanna switch from nfinit's build
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outcome:
I don't ever want sense again after using this rom and purehero... Sense feels bogged down to me even on OC roms... I just tried this rom with Launcher Pro and it seemed to speed up things significantly compared to ADW... specifically when i turned on the 3D drawer...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Outcome:
A few questions regarding this rom:

1. Any downside to using "Launcher Pro Beta" instead of "ADW"?

2. Has anyone noticed with this Froyo rom that widgets disappear and then refresh themselves at random times when exiting some programs???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] marcusva79:
i have been a big fan of launcher pro. adw has its FCs.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Launcher pro is very nice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkshneider:
Agree, Launcher Pro replaces AWD or Helix when I flash AOSP or limited Sense ROMs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blakeatl:
So if I flash this latest froyo rom that has everything working except the video camera, do I have to install a new rom when everything is fixed or just by using a new updated camera.apk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danielt021:
So when u say that camera semiworks do I have to download some camera app or what, cuz i still cant take a pic...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smstutler:
Camera 360 shows the preview.

Edit: it is buggy with freezing up. Not the whole app just the display.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Any news at all about Sense getting ported over to 2.2?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
probably wont be releasing sense 2.2 for a couple more weeks. then these guys gotta work on porting it over
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Can't wait for that :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
i know me either! :) sense is the whole reason i got my hero. best damn looking ui out there. and it would take one badass rom to make me switch from sense
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
I'm so with you on that I LOVE SENSE
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Looks like HTC has Sense running on 2.2 on the Desire. Android Central has a short article on it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bron019:
Ok once again thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
wait so well have a mostly working froyo port possibly by morning dude i love this place an all the awesome people who inhabit it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Just want to say zen thanks to you and all the devs who constantly work towards improving our phones
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MallardDuck:
Ok, here's a question i just thought of; i've been watching this thread and i'm really curious to try this, but my question is will this work on my hero at all?

I suffer from the non-overclockable hero, I can't run fresh toast cause it just freezes, lags, and force quits. Is there any known reason this happens, and any fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MallardDuck:
I'm happy to say it boots, and that it's pretty beautiful.

I'm still curious to know if anyone knows the reason some Heroc's can run an overclocked kernel and some cannot?

EDIT: I'm attaching a screen cap cause it looks funky and i'm not sure what everyone elses looks like, so for reference here's a screenie too.

EDIT2: It gets pretty sometimes, i'm dedicating this to my daily build if you guys can get most the stuff working. :D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] enatefox:
the lack of wallpaper is permission issue. not sure the exact fix but between the SDK's and this it can work. You can always just set the wallpaper. The graphic glitches are due to the Nexus' higher resolution. Hopefully I/we can get that fixed but a proper fix won't happen until JesusFreke can get some time to update smali. Worst case-- we have to wait for source to come out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] terryazthompson:
wrong place for the question, but....

when your msm7xxx chip was made, it was designed to run at 528mhz. chips are not made atom for atom the same, there are impurities,defects, etc. In order for the chip to be good enough it needs to run at designed speed. Once they are made they are tested and if the meet requirements put in our phones. Some chips just barely meet requirements and others far surpass requirements. Overclocking pushes the chips to new limits and only some of the chips will be able to handle this new limit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MallardDuck:
Thanks for the answer, i thought it was mostly on topic due to the fact that this is using the GoDmOdE Kernel and to my knowledge it's overclocked and using BFS. And like i stated, i can't run Fresh Toast for some reason, i thought it was the kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joelgarnick:
Staying off topic, but....my hero would not run fresh toast either (kept freezing), but i loaded zen's mytouch slide port and have been running it for a day and a half at max overclock with no issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] magicalan:
anyway you can put screenshots :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
It's stock Android 2.2 look at ne pic of a n1 with it all that's what you'll get
[Hero CDMA Android Development] misterhearn:
So... Does anyone have an idea when the source code will be released? Can someone link the rom? I'm considering giving it a try. How far is the rom from being a functional rom? I like many other people here probably just wanna see the flash player in action. I really appreciate all the effort here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
Google hasnt specified the exact date. as for a download link please see the first page. I'll leave to the dev's to determine how far out from functional and pretty sure flash player is just force closing. All the inquiries are in the thread you can use the search for keywords like flash etc and use the only search in this thread to find out more information.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Re:

I guarantee when flash is working a video will be posted. I just posted my experience with this about nine posts back

Hey Zen, will the new update have any boost in speed or performance? It's not bad at all, and I've only really noticed it with the Launcher.. It just kinda stutters sometimes. Anyways, great work once again to everyone working on this, and I appreciate you taking your time to work on this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] krispuniq:
Is it time up for the update ?? i have refreshed this thread for atleast 20 times now in the last 1 hr, eagerly watching out for the latest build ! any news zen ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] misterhearn:
Set Up

Just to make sure I got everything, there were two parts to this thing so far? The main install of the Rom which needs a complete wipe before flashing and then an update which is just to be flashed on top of the first Froyo install?

Now I keep hearing people say something is comming at around 3am. Now is this actually a working Froyo Rom with full features thats coming? My understanding is the current Rom is partially working but the biggest issue is it lacks audio?

I apologize for all the questions but I am new to this scene and wanna make sure I do everything correctly. I am currently using Damage Control 2.08.1 and am considering changing as there is an audio issue with the Rom from time to time and I just want to test the waters. So if Froyo is coming I'll be more than glad to give it a shot. If at all possible do you guys have a Rom you would recommend?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wadeheisen:
This is a dev rom. In this thread, you are unlikely to find a workable daily ROM. If you're looking for an alternative to DC2.08.1, you can try Fresh 2.1.1 or Damageless's rooted 2.1 unpack.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Are you serious!? :D That's fantastic news. I'm sure it won't be long before its ported.

There's a video there of 2.2 with Sense. Doesn't look like it's actually been leaked yet though =/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rank78:
I tested this rom yesterday but i must have missed something during all the things i flashed/pushed. I flashed all fixes so no idea why a bunch of things failed.

the gps ran continuously

browser would FC, same with skyfire i installed

the weather in the news and weather widget stopped working after a while

i received a MMS and the pic was literally a flash, couldn't view it

clicking on a text alert didn't bring me to the actual text but rather the entire text log

sometimes the usb notification disappeared and i had to unplug/replug

I thought camera was the only no go but the instructions list VVM as broken. no biggie personally.

Not sure I like how you mount usb in 2.2 compared to 2.1

I'm usually pretty good, and lucky, when it comes to flashing roms but not this time lol. I'll try again when the devs get to a single flash with fixes implemented. Our devs are the best and I'm always amazed at their skill.

How's battery life on the latest ?

Whats considered the latest? Ive got the one from 7/2 and its horrible. My time without signal is constantly at 50%.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eagles16:
my battery life from 7/2 is horrible also
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junkshow:
Time without signal is not being reported correctly...it isn't actually that bad.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
LOL I certainly would hope that isnt accurate. lol That would suck

Yea, mine is just as bad.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjdalessio:
Are those of you with lots of problems pushing this over an existing install?

Battery life for me has been superb so far this afternoon.

Only FC issues I had were related to trying the frf91 googleshits - it's buggy. Use frf85.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] eliseexige:
I overwrote, and then I did a wipe and davlik wipe. Equally bad battery on both installs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjdalessio:
Did you go through the battery calibration procedure?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] temple2101:
Those with bad battery life, can you provide more details on how you use your phone and what apps you use consistently?

I'm on the 7/2 build and have pretty good battery life. 12 hours and I'm at 53% with a few calls, emails, facebook browsing, xda app, engadget and maybe 20 mins on a game. I did a full wipe before install. FWIW, I've never really had battery issues with any ROM, except for the mostly stock 2.1 that Damageless put out a while back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] eliseexige:
my use is 70% texting, 20% browsing, and 10% calls. i have two batteries, one from my touch pro 2. they suck equally, one has been recalibrated and the other not.

and this keyboard lag is mainly present in messaging. just fwiw. stock messaging and handcent messaging. ugh.
