wait a few days and it will be public (it may be already)

its the nicest rom I have used.

Can't wait for overclocked 2.1 rom!

NEED help

Hello dear devs, i have an HTC Hero, Rooted, with stock 1.5 ROM, tried some other ROMS, didnt really liket them , put fast SD card and stock ROM became really fast, anyways, for some specific Rom there was a requirement to change the radio, i flashed it, then flashed rom, used it for couple of days, nandroid backuped and restored the stock rom.

Previousely i had GPS working on google maps, the notification bar showed the GPS ON icon when it was on, and google maps worked perfectly, now i got myself Copilot Live sat nav, now the GPS doesn't turn on, i cant see google maps, neither the GPS icon shows when i turn it on.

Firmware version " 1.5

Baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

Kernel version 2.6.27-8dd6deee

htc-kernel@and18-2 )

Build number: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release keys

Software version 1.0.0.A6288

The copilot shows maps, roads beautifully, (i live in Lithuania btw) but cant determine my position. I'll be off on a journey to Europe with my car in about a week, and i need a sat-nav, thought my Handset woudl go, so my question is, is it possible for me to get GPS working, or should i make some formats, restore factory settings ect. Thank you, hope to get a fast reply
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Feeyo:
I am seeing some unhappy hero users here. Yes its me the jerk.

Anyhow if you want a rom that outperforms the stock 1.5 one try Cronos Droid :)

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shakor:
I agree. I have been jumping roms also and with every rom there was this different annoying issue. Tried CronosDroid and all my annoyances are over.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Alternatively you could support developers who don't lie and go against the open source ethos.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Feeyo:
I was not lying. And I am not doing anything against the opensource ethos. Next week I will be posting the kernel sources that have GPL on the board.

And as the other devs already said. They did not want my help nor patches. So I will keep them for myself and ofcourse they are for the cronos droid users.

Yeah, everyone apart from his fanboys dislike him on this forum, now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kaikara:
I agree....I got tired of waiting for 2.1 and tried a few 2.1 ROMs. I found them to be laggy and my battery life was brutal compared to stock. I tried Kimera 1.8 with the 710 overclock and the phone flies now. Battery is just like it was with the stock ROM. I am going to wait for the official 2.1 release and see what the modders do with it before i make the switch again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mkrogh65:
Villian 6.0 -

Tried Villian 6.0, and I must say its really good :)

Had a little trouble with facebook sync and contacts, other than that really nice, and fast rom.

But Seriuosly .....

It "ate" my battery over night, even with all wireless radios switched off.

went from app 85% to 38%.

Battery drain is really a pain...

Also issues with brightness.

Back on 1,5 now.... and still loving it :) (MoDaCo with Sense theme)

BR.

MKrogh :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Hmmmm,.... Strange,.... Iv'e only lost 6% in 8hrs,.... Did you have it set for constant overclock?.... or did you underclock when screen off? (<--this really does improve battery life for me)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mkrogh65:
Underclock at screen off.

Clocked at 571mhz with screen on :)

I am a bit frustratet over this one myself ...... :eek:

MKrogh
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
What values did you use for screen off,... I have just discovered that only some frequencies are actually detected,... If you use one that isn't supported it just runs at full capacity.

Freqs supported on Villian 6 OC kernel are...

19200

122880

245760

480000

576000

614400

652800

691200
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mkrogh65:
Well .... I dont remember right now.

The screen off could have been between 245 and 480.

But what would have been the issue with hitting a freq. which is´nt supported ?

Would it like go on "full" throttle :D

BTW - Im on Kimera 1.8 now. (A1.5 overclocked)

Runs really nice as well :cool:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] xavier2k3:
That's due to a google sync problem which happensto actual Eris users, too. HTC are aware of the issue. Detailed here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=11111#p11111

There is a fix, however:

Should give it a go, it's really a great ROM. And once 6.1 is released, will be even better.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] forcex10:
I tried a bunch of 2.1 ROMS myself and always had to go back to 1.5 cause they made my phone feel it was about to explode, the battery wudn last long and it was always HOT!

Then came Cronies Droid 1.4.1 with the new kernel. I've been happy ever since. I'm using the overclocked to 710mhz version and I have had no problems at all, battery doesn't get hot or anything.

I'd recommend u give it a try also, definately worth it.

Also tried a lot of 2.1 ROMs. And allways went back to 1.5. Last couple of weeks i'm using MoDaCo 3.2 with Kimera 650Mhz kernel and Autokiller set to aggresive. Phone is flying :D Maybe i'm going to try Cronos Droid, but i'm afraid that i'm going to go back to MoDaCo.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
I was thinking about rooting. It Modacos rom better than standard Tmobile G2s image?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] -2y2k-:
SuperHero ROM 1.1

with ben10 kernel and JIT ENABLED

Linpack - 4.799 mflops
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mkrogh65:
I could not tell ... Is Tmobile different from others ?

But the real deal is this.

In these rooted roms there have been some serious tweaking going on.

And the use of Autokiller really helps keeping the little Hero alive and kicking :)

I do also believe MoDaCo (Paul) is one of the best in doing this. (maybe he THE BEST, sry to everyone else cooking ROMS, no hard feelings) :)

I havent had any regrets regarding rooting mine :D

Hope This answers you Q.

I have tried nearly every 2.1 ROM out there as well and keep coming back to 1.5. Today I tried the latest Vanilla Droid (3.2), but after a few hours of taking it through its paces, I just found it to not be up to snuff.

I too would like to use the newer version of Google Maps and the Market, but the decreased battery life, sluggishness (even with overclocking) compared to 1.5, occasional instability and GPS issues keep bringing me back.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] saj222:
I second Superhero1.1! I've tried a few 2.1 ROMs myself and this one seems to have the best battery optimizations in place, along with all round quickness and speed.

For those that don't know, there is a new version of Superhero coming soon. Hopefully it will just build upon this already great ROM.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] alias_neo:
Well, it's upgrade time on my contract, and I have narrowed it (quite easily) down to two devices, the Legend and the Desire.

The legend will cost me exactly nothing to upgrade to, and the Desire will cost a little (a lot) more than I can currently afford.

My question is, do I look for a way to afford the Desire or go for the Legend?

Please give your vote and a comment/reason, or suggest a third/fourth.... device instead (X10 was considered and disgarded due to lack of multitouch and because I don't want to be left in the dust with Android 1.6 until september).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dom5079:
i would go for the legend

because, 1ghz snapdragon processor, its newer so will be supported longer by htc, better battery life (legends is s***)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PSPuser93:
You meant desire, right?

Otherwise there is no sense in your sentence :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xinos:
Well that depends on how much you have to pay for the desire. Let me sum up for you what the desire has and the legend doesn't.

Desire:

Flash support, 1Ghz snapdragon, bigger screen thus resulting in more space for fingers to land in..... higher resolution 480 X 800 WVGA RAM: 576 MB

vs

Legend

No flash support (well probably it wel get flash from xda members. But according to adobe it won't run smooth on the legend and our hero's)

600Mhz processor, same screen size as hero 320 x 480 HVGA only 384 mb ram

Hope that helps you out a bit.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
If you have a hero and you would buy a legend you'd only see some improvement in the speed section, it's probably not fully capable to run future android version (and the desire is since it's able to run flash 10)

If you buy a desire you buy the fastest htc around, with probably more support in later versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
If I was in your position,... I'd switch to a sim only contract, then wait for something similar to the incredible.

I was planning on getting a desire this month,... but am still happy with my hero (even more now its overclocked).

I reckon I'll be happy for another 3 - 6 months yet. I'd just like a slightly better camera,.... n a hardware keyboard would be nice.

I know, I know,... you could end up waiting forever wanting something slightly better then whats currently on the market to come out.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] m4nu:
None of them.

I'm looking forward to devices like the samsung galaxy S, Lumigon t1, Motorola Shadow.

My next device won't be one from HTC.

I'm watching how often HTC is updating their new devices, desire and legend. If they do it better than they do it on hero right now, my device after the next device will be one from HTC again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
None of them wasn't an option, if you don't have anything to do rather then put htc on your blacklist that's you're choice, don't try to decide for others.

And samsung never ever released an update afaik so have fun with your never upgradebla samsung. And I haven't seen motorola giving any updates either.

Stop nagging
[Hero, G2 Touch General] anarchyuk:
If I were you I would go for the Desire, unless another Snapdragon is due to b integrated into devices then you are at least going to get enough time with the latest handset during your contract before you start seeing thinks like 2.2+ render you phone old...

Something with 720p video, a snapdragon cpu and 2.1 shipped, wouldn't go a miss!

I also considered the X10 for the cracking cameras Sony add but like you say the 2.1 update is a a fair bit off, and they haven't even rooted it yet afaik..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mikeysyke:
I had a quick go on a mates Desire, and its defiantly faster and the bigger screen is nice but I didn't feel it was the amazing leap over the Hero that most people have made it out to be. If there is no rush I would defiantly wait another 6 months to see whats available then. Maybe the 2.2 update will wow me more but thats just my current opinion.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DSF:
Agree.. + don't forget that htc is using cheap hardware (eg: SoC*, display**), so if you want pure performance go with an ARM Cortex + PowerVR.

* i prefer the arm cortex + power vr combination, even motorola milestone at 550 Mhz is better (thanks to PowerVR) on some tasks than the over hyped snapdragon cpu.

** see the multiple videos that show the multitouch bug, htc is using a cheap dualtouch display ..

I don't trust anymore qualcomm/htc combination. tired of crap performance.

So, my next device will be one with ARM Cortex + PowerVR + a proper multitouch display (eg: such as in motorola milestone). If you want true performance I recommend you this combination.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] butterdori:
Neither for me..

The Desire has a pentile AMOLED display that isn't TRUE WVGA (RGB subpixels in one pixel)

Both the Desire and Legend use ClearPad 2000 for their touch screens which do not have proper multitouch support (same problem with N1)

I'd wait a little longer for the next round of FroYo devices

Key Ring is an app that allows you to enter those club cards that most retailers/supermarkets have now. You can enter any card with a bar code and the app will know most of them. The idea is your phone will now display the bar code and you can scan the screen on your phone instead of carrying 5 or more cards in your wallet. Its a great idea.

The problem for me is I am finding the bar code scanners at retailers are not able to pick up the bar code from my screen. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Perhaps AMOLED does not work as well as LCD for this application?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] froogloid:
Pops_G,

Hey, Key Ring customer support here. Your assumptions are correct. It's the incredible's screen that makes it difficult to scan barcodes from the screen. CCD/Led handheld scanners should work fine though, just not laser handheld scanners. CVS uses LED scanners for sure.

Hope this helps!

Team Key Ring
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bbfunnyman:
Thats a bummer it doesn't work with all laser scanners but it makes sense.

Sounds like an app I should check out though.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NCX Designs:
hmm, would it be possible to make a list of the major retailers that are on the app that are compatible with LED scanners?

like: (just example)

Walmart - Laser

CVS - LED

Giant - Laser???

would be helpful to maybe even include it in the app itself to let the users know forehand while using the app
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] froogloid:
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on you look at, the list of retailers that use compatible scanners is a moving target. Many retailers are in process of updating their point of sale scanners to be compatible with phone screens. I imagine in the next 1-4 years most large retailers will upgrade.

Hope this helps.

Chris
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] larsdennert:
Takes longer to scan your phone than the groceries. Not a very viable app regrettably.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] AFAngryWarrior:
How do you figure?? It's just as long to scan your phone screen as it is to scan a hard copy of a shoppers club card.. Just have it on your screen before they finish scanning your items. It's not that hard on my incredible to bring up a stored card and its easier than having 100 small cards either in my wallet or on my key chain.

Even if the stores scanner doesn't read your screen well, the cashier could enter the number manually. A little more work for the cashiers, but Less clutter for us!

Well worth it, to have program to store and organize all these store discount/loyalty cards.

Please develop this program for WM 6.1.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] camalot:
This is a tool for windows that will allow you to preview a boot animation (bootanimation.zip) file before applying it to your device. If you have the SDK in your environment path, it will also allow you to apply the boot animation to the device. I have tested about 50 boot animations and only had 2 that wouldn't load, and they didn't load because there was an invalid line in the desc.txt file.

Requirements

.NET Framework 4.0

Windows XP or later

Android SDK added to Environment path (to set the boot animation on the device, if you don't have it in the path, you just cant set it from the app)

Boot Animation files to open (you can pull one off your device @ /system/media/bootanimation.zip)

This is the dialog to create an animation, it takes a directory, analyzes the "parts" and creates the desc.txt from the values entered in the property grid. Then asks where to save the animation and names it based off the name of the folder.

The other feature that BAP offers, is the ability to export a boot animation as an animated GIF. It will try the best it can to create a gif that will do the animation justice. The export can take some time, and can be somewhat large, depending on the number of images, parts, and "loops" of the boot animation.

Below is an export of the CyanogenMOD 5.07-test2 boot animation

I created this preview from the boot aninimation in this thread.

The latest version is available on my sky drive.
