fixed version

Flashed the fixed one. Still experiencing massive power drain. Would be nice that it would be fixed before the weekend when i go on holiday.

Love the rom.

leave it at 3.0, and then help adwinp with Froyo For Hero? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] forumache:
Good luck, RaduG!

Waiting for 3.3 on Sunday, 6th. Good luck with that and with your Cisco certification exam.

What made me stick with this ROM is, beside the speed and stability, the fact this is the only ROM I know which properly implements the Romanian diacritics (s and t with comma below). Now, is it possible to add those characters on the virtual keyboard? It is nice that I can render pages in browser without squares (instead of ț), but I would like to be able to type them too.

Of course, don't let this detract you from 3.3 and Cisco exam, these are more important right now, a lot of people are waiting. I can wait a little longer, after all, I waited so much for an official HTC 2.1 firmware, but now I don't need it anymore since I've found VanillaEclair.

Thanks again and good luck,

Dan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
what's different between 3.0 and 3.2? Can someone confirm that everything is working with 3.0 version? And if i decide to use 3.0 version now, do i have to install all applications and put the correct settings again to my phone when i upgrade it to version 3.3.?

Good luck @RaduG!

VanillaEclair - wish list

Hi Radu as always we all appreciate your efforts and with an ETA of 06/06/10 not too long to wait, especially knowing it will be thoroughly tested, smooth and functional.

My only request is for "Bloat Free" VanillaEclair with your Kernel tweaks and OC options and with all additional apps, as an AS option or as available links, i.e Nexus One dialler, HTC IME, Gallery 3D etc. for those who want it.

P.S. love the YouTube app in 3.2 :cool:

+1

I no longer worried about when HTC are going to release 2.1 for Hero I have VanillaEclair (OK if the official ROM is released we can get the drivers etc to enable everything to work, which IMHO is the only thing we need GSM HTC 2.1 for Hero for!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BorderlineVX:
I really like this Vanilla ROM, feels a lot snappier on my Hero compared to the ones using HTC Sense. But I found one small problem which bothers me.

After reinstalling "OverclockWidget" (the preloaded one wouldn't work) I can set all frequencies fine - but apparently the CPU is never toggled to the lower freq. I chose 614 / 384 as well as automatic and this used to work in the VillainROM. After some 5 seconds or so the CPU would fall back to the lower freq. Now it always stays on 614 and the device is kind of getting hot... anyone?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the guitarist:
i'm really happy with the rom and we appreciate the work .. but i have a couple of issues that really annoy me and i hope we see them in the 3.3 build:

1- all the android widgets like, the retro clock and the weather as for now there's only the analog clock

2- the ability to have 5 homes on the launcher ..

thanks a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
which version are you using? 3.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BorderlineVX:
Nope, the stable one that was posted again this morning, so 3.0.

Thanks,

BorderlineVX
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tbleiker:
Download the widgets from the market... ;) The NAS package should be as vanilla as possible :)

Download launcher pro from the market. I use that launcher as well and you can have 3, 5 or 7 screens! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Hello Radug,

This is the last Gallery 3D build from a famous Cyoanogenmod member, please try it, this is stable, fast and doesn't get the rotate bug.

I hope that this is not spamming, I don't get strange power usage from this one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
So the battery usage is normal with that Gallery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Thanks gatsu_1981. I will test it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arkanius:
Can we have an update.zip of this?

I would do but I doubt it's as simple as renaming it to .zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
I just tried pushing this to 3.2, and cleared the gallery cache from SD card, and it is still really slow. I don't think gallery alone is causing this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booon:
I tried the same thing. Gallery is still very slow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
Gallery3d wasn't the sole cause, there was something about the kernel as well (if I've understood it correctly).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
but it's funny that the other AOSP roms didn't really encounter such problems even though I thought they were also using similiar kernels.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
Hi Radu as suggested I have tried MaXo64's a Hero 1.0 which is quite good, with exceptional battery life. Is there any chance you could discuss with MaXo64 and get a few pointers regarding his Kernel when you are free over the week end? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
That'd be great. I'm using aHero right now too, but the ultimate very best ROM ever would be a mix of aHero and Vanillaeclair :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:
I got some big problems here. I can't receive any calls, i mean i can do calls but can't receive any, when someone attempts to call me, they hear short beeps only. What could be the problem and the possible solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
What's the version of your radio ? (settings-->about phone-->Baseband Version).

If it's not the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26, try to flash to this last version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:
Its exactly what you mentioned..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
Then I'd try another ROM if I were you. Do a full wipe, and try for example aHero (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=638584).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
Which Kernel do you use? OC? or OC with BFS?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:
Works great on aHero. There is deffinetly something wrong with 3.0...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPadie:
Hey all, I bring you good news indeed :).

For those of you who cannot bare without the features of VanillaEclair 3.2, but also cannot bare with the battery drain issue (as well as the slowing down of 3D applications such as Gallery3D), I have a solution!

This is a picture of my battery usage in Spare Parts, using VanillaEclair 3.2, as well as some modifications (which I will get to now now):

So, what did I do? Really simple actually. Follow these steps, and also, please be aware that I take no responsibility for any damage caused, even though there shouldn't be anything worse then a boot loop for you. MOST OF ALL, REMEMBER TO NANDROID!

1) Flash VanillaEclair 3.2 (grab it here, as it's been taken down: http://www.vanilladroid.com/download/VanillaEclair_3.2_NAS_signed.zip)

2) Flash this kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/CCG8VH4KJN - This is the overclock kernel from the aHero 1.0 ROM. All credit for this kernel goes to MaXo64

3) Push this Gallery3D apk to 'system/app/'. Remember to 'adb remount' first. Be sure to rename the file to 'Gallery3D.apk' before pushing it if you want it to replace the current gallery app. This will replace the current Gallery3D app with one modified by Cyoanogen - all credit due. LINK: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=335771&d=1275414282

And voila! Should all be good to go. Let me know if you guys run in to any issues along the way, or if you need help. Maybe if you see this Radug, might be useful to add this to the first post as a temporary fix until your release on Sunday.

Other then that, from my side, a big thanks to Radug for the work he has done on this ROM - you can see how much I enjoy it by the lengths I have gone to get this working! Keep up the good work man!

MrP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
I used new Overclocked kernel [STABLE][710MHz]: I did not know what BFS was and I prefer stability to anything else. :D (What does BFS stand for :p)

Had I been at home today, this was exactly what I was going to try next :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
BFS=brain **** scheduler

Thanks for posting that fix. The aHero kernel is pretty much the same as the one in VanillaEclair 3.0 I think. At the moment I'm working on the kernel which will be tested tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
3.2?

Can anyone post the 3.2 ROM so I can download it? I don`t have it and I want to flash it with the repairs that our champ found!

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPadie:
Link is up in my post now mate ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
Awesome bud! Fast reply, I like it.. DL now and flashing in a few! Thanks for your help with this! It's greatly appreciated.

Well, so far so good. A bit faster then 3.0 no FC at all since I flashed. I hope the battery life is as good as 3.0!

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPadie:
Happy to help out :) And you will find that the battery life is more then adequate for a day's use, and will keep us going until 3.3 is released this weekend (hopefully ;) ). You will also notice that the phone now sleeps as it should. :P

Cheers, keep well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hior:
Thanks!!! Phone is about 8 hours without charging and battery is 80% full.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I would say that the ROM will be ready for production tomorrow, but I will keep on testing it until Sunday to make sure everything is perfect.

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
That sounds like the right idea to me.

So in the meanwhile I shall continue to play with aHero 1.0 going to try BFS next :p

I can't wait though for VanillaEclair 3.3 to hit the shelves :D

VanillaEclair always my ROM of choice!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Don't forget, if you have feature requests or suggested apps to be part of the AS package please let me know, it's the right time now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
Could you enable battery percentage in the services.jar? with this setting is it possible to use the SpareParts function to enable battery percentage in the statusbar on the battery icon.

Does HTC IME lag on your Hero?

I have some sort of laggy input =(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fysme:
I had a bit of lag when I first started using HTC_IME but when I turned off that it should vibrate on input it got alot better.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Yes, the only ROM I had VERY good performance on with HTC IME was SlideVillain.

I do not think personally that it is needed to be included, because I used gimpsta's HTC IME themer to generate my own custom HTC IME mod and push it using ADB. But for those that do not know how to do this it could be nice to include it too.

I second the motion for LauncherPro. My favorite launcher so far. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Is there any one else with problems rotating the phone in the Gallery? Maybe it is because I have the VanillaEclair 3.0, is it fixed in newer versions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Try this that was posted a while back, it fixed it for me

3) Push this Gallery3D apk to 'system/app/'. Remember to 'adb remount' first. Be sure to rename the file to 'Gallery3D.apk' before pushing it if you want it to replace the current gallery app. This will replace the current Gallery3D app with one modified by Cyoanogen - all credit due.

Music Graphic Fix

Hey RaduG. You remember the music app's slight graphical strangeness, which cut off the "Now Playing" bar before it reached the screen edge (I mentioned it about a week ago)? Well, I think I may have found a fix. I found this version of the .apk on droid-life.com and tried pushing it to the Hero. The "Now Playing" bar is definitely showing at the correct size now and the rest of the app still seems to function correctly.

When you've got a moment, take a look and let me know what you think. Maybe it could be included in 3.3? I'm too lazy/inept to write anything nasty into it. Promise. :)

Edit: In the original upload there was a different graphical glitch. This time it affected the orange highlights for the widget. This was quickly (and badly) fixed by replacing the highlights with blank images. The updated Music.apk (without widget selection highlights) is now attached. I hope no one notices the difference. :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
in terms of apps, I'd prefer it to be as light as possible. you can never satisfy everyone, one might like launcherpro but I might prefer helix so whatever we can install ourselves from Market should be left out unless its impt stuff like Superuser permissions for e.g.

But I do prefer the 2D gallery though as I find the 3D slower and doesn't add anything new in terms of functionality.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
ditto!

lightweight is the key :)

with SU we can add anything we want.

anyhow thats some good news RaDuG! Sunday it is then!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thht:
hi guys,

please dont take it as an offence, but why would you want to include software in an update.zip? is there any advantage over installing it from the market? arent you stuck with the flashed version even if an important update is released?

thanks a lot!

thomas
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
You might want to get this Music.apk instead: http://is.gd/cBVlJ
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
flashing usually means replacing the stocked ones with our desired version.

so the phone won't be bogged with too many apps of the same kind.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] forumache:
"our desired version"?

I'm pretty sure we'll never agree ;) Each one has their preferred applications.

So, a perfect ROM, in my opinion, should be small, have all the functionality of the OS (including Wi-Fi tethering, access point for other devices, keyboard, etc), but almost no applications (except the phone components).

Then, I'll add my applications, whatever I prefer, from the market. They will be updated every time a new version is released, from the market, without any effort from the ROM developer.

OK, one problem. What will happen when a new ROM is released? Will I loose all my apps and have to set them up again? This might be a problem and I understand why you would like to have all your apps in ROM. This is a problem only if you don't know how to use Titanium Backup. With Titanium, I wipe my phone, I install the new ROM, and I restore from backup my apps and their settings. Easy, nice and clean.

Usually I don't wait for Sunday, because this is when the weekend ends, but this time is different ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
OK guys,

I've compiled a new improved kernel, after many many attempts this one appears to be working perfect. I'll be testing it thoroughly and keep you updated.

Just to make a little brief: this one comes pre-overclocked, with 176MHz at sleep and 691MHz on screen on. This setup helps you get the best of both worlds: performance and battery life, since with the cleaned frequency table it wakes up properly at 176MHz, even at 128MHz. 691MHz is a safe OC value. You will be able to set up your own desired frequencies, so don't panic.

I made some tweaks that I will test now to the scheduler.

After I'm 100% sure that the kernel is production ready, I will see what I can get from the HTC official 2.1 update which has been released today. Hopefully I can fix A2DP and such.

I'll keep you updated guys!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] appel_:
Wont this cause problems for people with Heros that can't be underclocked that low? If I go below 352Mhz my Hero wont wake or above 614Mhz it becomes very unstable with 3.0. Or is this a problem with the kernel in 3.0 that has since been fixed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Having a clean OC table fixes that issue. This is also confirmed by adwinp :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
UPDATE: Neocore- 32.9FPS without sound and 29.7FPS with sound, @ 691MHz. That's very close to the results @ 768MHz. But the best part is that even at 691 the phone is more responsive and apps load very very quick. Now let's see the battery life... I'll update this tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] appel_:
Awesome! Sunday can't come fast enough! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnk1348:
That's very good news. I hope bettery life will be as good as with the aHero ROM!

Hello RaduG,

A small bug to report: I have been abroad over the last 2 days and although under "Date & Time settings" I have the "User network provided values" ticked, the system time was never updated.. (Spent 3 days in France from UK where I reside).

For information..

is it possible to include the vpn/openvpn/liblzo... modules for the kernel?

Using new radio now and wifi, 3g, hspa and calls are working fine. Not tried gps yet but no reason to think that would fail.

Can't see any change of performance yet. Some users on orange in the uk are having sim problems with this radio but I'm not one of them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alexblfc:
Well done

By far the best custom ROM for the Hero, well done guys keep up the good work and looking forwards to 3.3!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
So far it seems that the battery life issue has been fixed. 6% was gone in 3:30 hours. But I will perform more tests anyway.

Tomorrow I will see what HTC have improved in their update. Then VE3.3 will be available. Probably tomorrow.

PS: Can someone please test the new radio on 3.0/3.2/whatever and tell me if it's alright?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dave_y:
Great work, love this rom. New radio is working fine for me on 3.0, have now tested gps, wifi, 3g, hspa and calls. Can't notice a great deal of change with signal strength but I don't think it's gone down.

Radu,

I tested the new radio (OU) on 3.0 and it works for me (installed 3 hours ago). Cannot say if it is better or worse, since in Bucharest I have signal anywhere (on Orange). If there are any specific tests, please ask. I have 3G enabled and it works (sometimes it displays 3G, but usually H). Now I'll leave work and go outside, so I'll also test GPS (I don't know if radio is linked with GPS, but I saw some people commenting that GPS satellites lock is quicker).

Back in one hour,

Later edit: GPS initial locking is very fast, 5-10 seconds...

Do you already know if a new VE release based on the official 2.1 will also include all the european languages? Or will there be just Englisch and Chinese to select at the beginning since it is based on the asian 2.1 update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ergagno:
Take your time Radug....

I'm still very happy with 3.0...

Since the HTC 2.1 update has been released in Taiwan, I'm thinking there might be a couple bit of it that you will be able take and improve a couple things (i.e. A2DP).

I've tried the SenseHero 2.1 and it is not as quick as 3.0...

No regret that I donated a while ago...still the best ROM.

Good luck!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I will try to include as many languages as possible.

That huge battery drain is gone, but still I'm not 100% happy with it. Now I'm goning to make a Cyanogenmod 5.0.7 final hybrid with this kernel(which I am very very proud of) and some libs. If everything goes well, this will become even faster.

Follow this topic for updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BorderlineVX:
Excellent news - I love these custom ROMs without Sense. Currently I am on SuperHero (which is also very nicely done) waiting to test your next release. I find these Vanilla builds so much nicer. Thanks for your efforts!

I'm using VE 3.0, i updated to the latest radio version. It works great. In fact, if I compare these two versions, I saw no differences with the previous radio version but still, everything works as fine as the previous version.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
OK!

Don't bother flashing the new radio, VE3.3 will include it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I'm flashing the 'hybrid' right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Budius:
too late... I've just did.

so here is what I've done on my hero:

- this morning I couldn't wait and nandroid and flashed the rooted sense 2.1 + radio

- worked fine

- now I've just reverted back to my nandroid and installed the radio again... after finishing boot I made sure to check that ALL the radios were off and rebooted.

- HSDPA running fine.

- turned on GPS open Gmaps and walked to the window

- signal fixed in about 1m30s

- turn on wifi connected normally (and quite fast)

Unfortunately I don't have anything to test the BT with andI can't say much about signal level cause it was always good around my place.

I'm looking forward to see 3.3...

will GPS and BT work nice now ?

best of luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] appel_:
Maybe I remember incorrectly, but isn't the reason most custom roms keep the radio separate since it is a bit more dangerous to flash a new radio? In a if it fails you are screwed sort of way. :)

I agree. :D
