RCMix 2.2b and Skype

Hi there,

First, it is great ROM version, working smoothly and includes lots of cool apps.

My question: I tried to install a working version of Skype and it is crash after the login process. do you know any specific reason or do you have a working Skype version on HTC hero?

Thanks,

Meir
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chasejones8:
Yeah. I reboot my phone AT LEAST once a day, usually more due to lagging and freezing. I've finally given up on this rom, but it was nice while it lasted. Also, if you can't use USB Debugging, how are we supposed to ADB? Seems kind of pointless to me.

battery problem

Hey,

first of all, thanks for this great ROM!

i really love it.

i have just one major problem

since i've flashed this ROM, the battery life is very short and it's never fully charged.

also, the battery is getting very hot even when i'm not using the phone.

do you know about this problem or maybe has a solution for this?

thanks alot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
Works for me

Battery life is great here and gets fully charged, I even have flipclock enabled. Battery doesnt get too hot either. Are you overclocking too much. I dont overclock
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dana_c:
i don't overclock at all

i just installed the ROM yesterday and i didn't changed anything
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B-bal:
Well I'm having the same problem here battery drains to fast...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dana_c:
i think it's o.k now

i tried to do a nand restore to the time before i installed the "rtl fix"

then i installd it again and now it's fine

the battery is gettin fully charged and it's not so hot like before

i hope it'll stay like this

now i have another problem, i can't sync my contacts with the facebook

i'm trying to fix this now

if you had this problem after installing the rtl fix so try to do the same

if not, try to look in the settings > about phone > battery > battery use

and see which is the program that uses most of the battery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thomaas:
hey,

first of all, thank you for this wonderful ROM! It works quite well on my little Hero :)

But i've got some "visual" issues and general questions. How can I switch to the modded HTC IME keyboard as shown on the first page?

If I check HTC_IME mod under "Settings -> Language & Keyboard, it's still the same keyboard... ?!

some other questions: what is the RTL fix and how can I raise the min. frequency in order to avoid the wake-up problem?! Am I to use setCPU or is there a build-in app in this rom?!

thanks in advance!

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
Go somewhere where you have input space then tap and hold there, menu will appear. Choose: Input method and tap keyboard you want to use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thomaas:
simple but effective! thank you tomekk_nt!! :)

anyone else who can help me out with the other questions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dana_c:
The rtl fix is for right to left languages like hebrew.

If you use ltr language you don't need it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
for new readers (or current people having trouble), I flashed this rom again yesterday after a break from 2.1 sense roms for a while. I've used this rom before mind you and foudn it great back then.

It's still fantastic! I have no issues at all that people are talking about here. it just works, and works perfectly at that.

the first time I flashed this rom (months back) I had issues and had to rewipe and reflash for some reason, but then it was fine. so it's possible that people need to flash it and wipe and flash again if coming from an aosp rom like I was.

but anyway, this is my favorite 2.1 sense rom in almost every way. the slide rom is also great (tegra) but different. but if you want a sense rom, this one is just terrific! I'm using it now with launcherpro as my launcher and using the latest pure messenger widget for facebook/twitter/gmail/sms/phone calls.... the combination is outstanding.

also this rom is great for playing music in the background while working - good battery life while playing music, glitchless playback and great sound quality (I'm not 100% sure but i get the feeling that sense roms have different audio software and soudn slightly different, but I haven't really compared directly to make sure and don't care enough to do so - I'll content to just be happy with it).

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
@Dkelly

This ROM is very good indeed, to bad further development has stopped (like JIT etc) this is my current rom until the 2.2 Sense with cam and bluetooth audio comes out.

This rom is so smooth and has all the apps i need, like friendstream etc. and works perfect with my carkit (good quality audio).

It is to bad that Angry birds is not running good at all with this ROM, but so what, i use my wife her Desire for that haha.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool. JIT will never work reliably with great stability on a 2.1 sense rom though, it's not the developer's fault. he stopped because there's nothign more to do. you'll have to wait for sense froyo to be complete for a jit-enabled sense rom.

and from experience I can tell you that jit makes very LITTLE difference on android on the hero. some of the best apps that might take advantage of it don't even run on our cpu. so it's really not that big a deal. if on a froyo rom, try turning off jit and playing 3d games. you'll find it's virtually the same performance. some people, like erasmux (I think, hope I got that correct), have felt that jit makes ui responsiveness worse or somethign like that.

so just be happy with rcmix - the desire is better for sure, but not cuz of the OS. it's because of the hardware :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robocik:
Hello everyone :)

It is very nice to see that my rom is still on the first page and that it is still used as daily rom for many :) i am very happy about it :)

I am in poland right now, celebrating my birthday, maybe a bit drunk, but still... ;)

cheers everybody!

yours Robocik ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
enjoy man, happy birthday, hope you're not in a very bad hungover now :D

and anyway thanks for this great rom, which i find responsive and smooth like the latest froyo roms :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cmyasika1:
I have a question, is there a cdma version of this Rom???????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
i too have just returned to this from the 2.2 sense rom...mainly because everything works, and it is really stable.

its quick too!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jagbir89:
great rom ,,, just downloading ,,,,,,continue good work ,, cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fresh85:
So how long after flashing this rom is it suppose to stay at HTC boot screen??? I tried this earlier today and let it sit for like an hour and a half. Now I have flashed this thing about four times and can't get past this screen. My phone is stuck now!! I really would like to enjoy this rom too....please give me some advice on what to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
it will not take more than half hour .. usually while flashing a ROM only takes about 15 minutes .. try wiping options first . wipe including EXT- Partition n etc . :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fresh85:
Yea man I did all that. I just got done trying to flash an older version and still the same issue. I flash roms almost every other day and this one is giving me problems. Anymore suggestions???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
Try to format the whole sdcard, then create partitions and again - wipe everything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Did you try flashing another ROM ? :rolleyes: See problem is just comes in this ROM Or different one as well as
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fresh85:
Yea man I did that. Im using NFX rom now so I can use my phone. Like I said earlier I change roms frequently. I'm not a pro at this rom stuff but I know the basics so I need some more advanced advice maybe. Maybe I forgot a step but for the most part I think i covered the basic steps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
urm the NFX rom is for CDMA hero's isn't it? This ROM is for GSM Heros.

Do you have a CDMA or GSM Hero? If its CDMA, this ROM isn't for you...it wont work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
I guess he's using CDMA Hero .. Because NFX Hero is only for CDMA Users . so don't try this ROM. This ROM is only for GSM Users .Otherwise you may brick your phone too you never know :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fresh85:
Yes I have a CDMA. I thought this was for CDMA Hero's not GSM. I guess that explains it then....good thing my phone didn't get bricked. Amazing I tried to flash the rom about 10 times and no brick! I am in the wrong section???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
you are lucky!

you want the CDMA section:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zmesler:
This is the best ROM so far I had on my phone. Unfortunately had to wipe it gone this evening. It is absolutely unreliable regarding navigation. I have lost GPS signal number of times driving on motorway. It took ages to get signal back. Actually It was searching for GPS lock most of the time. I also use external GPS that I connect using bluetooth (Bluetooth GPS Mouse app) but that was even worse G Navigation had massive lag or actually it was updating like 1fpm (1 frame per minute shall I say:D ). I know it is not BRUT maps cos I removed them and installed regular maps from the market. luckily I had a copy of other 2.2 ROM on my SD LOL. GPS i both cases run flawlessly on that rom. Anyone with the same issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smiskkissen:
Absolutly. Sometimes the gps get a fixed position in seconds and after a while it can take forever to get a gps signal. Quite unreliable. However, i dont know if this is the rom or my radio.

Has anybody gotten the live wallpapers to work? Mine just goes to a blank screen when I apply.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
Live Wallpapers is a big problem, but not on this ROM, on Hero generally.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sergiopa:
what version of kernel are you guys using?

the tweaked is good and stable? or most of you are using the "regular" version?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
Latest flykernel ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smiskkissen:
latest flykernel with the tweaks manually set
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nano99:
live wallpaper is working fine..

i prefer this rom compared to the froyos..

i love sense.. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sergiopa:
Ok... but how did you do that? installed the rom and then another kernel? how can i do that?

or you just downloaded the rom with tweaked kernel in the first page?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] morphinspectrum:
Thanks for the great ROM! Everything is working great.

(Hero overclocked to 710MHz :D)

Not sure if this is a bug, but are you guys able to link a phone contact to a Facebook contact? When I press "link" FB contacts don't show up.

Everything works:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
Go to

Settings > Wireless & Settings > Mobile network settings > Access Point Names

and see if your provider is seen in that list, if not, please report which provider you have and in what country and I'm sure Robocik will be able to include that APN in a future release.

I'm not sure that's the problem but it seems most likely.

Option number two is to go to

Settings > Wireless & Settings > Mobile network

and see if that box is checked.

I hope you'll be able to sort it out! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mkrogh65:
Hi -

Flashed it myself.

Working really well, and a nice ROM.

I never seem to be to friendly with JIT though.

enabled it and played around, took quite a while for it to "settle" (work ok)

Had one reboot - not accounted for :)

Sooo ... disabled JIT, and the phone works fine now.

But all in all, very nice ROM.

Tnx poster :)

Kernel Update

Kernel update due memory leak!

Check first post

I updated the rom with new kernel, RCMix v1.0b --> Download link

and i maked an update, with just the kernel, for those who downloaded and installed previous, RCMix v1.0 --> Download link

Thanks to Feeyo for new kernel ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PulpzillA:
feeyo hasnt even released this new kernel on his forums yet! lol would this new kernel work on cronos 2.1.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
when i download the update its just a file called "RCMix_Cronos" and not RCMix_Cronos#40Kernel_Signed.zip that on direct download

i got that too.. download & flashed.. all seems ok for now..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robocik:

Ya .... dont use JIT :)

Still buggy in my experience ......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
@robocik

I was wondering. Since you've gotten FriendStream working on this cook do you think you would be able to get it working on Cronos Droid? There has been some talk about it over at cronos forum. Maybe that would also help Feeyo xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robocik:
I hope so :) it supports just english and spanish, none of my smsing languages ;) hehe... so please report, i am curious my self. it is working good otherwise.

Did you use the first 1.0 release with #38 kernel or the new 1.0b with #40 kernel?

The memory leak could make JIT unstable...

I had no time to test the new kernel and JIT now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robocik:

I flashed the new build. I think there some issues with setcpu on this ROM also.. got itchy fingers set it to max & it freeze my phone even after boot.. LOL

Damn I'm stupid, I forgot to switch live wallpapers on in "config" everything working 99% now lol, I'm using flykernel 12c pre 1 clock set at 614
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
I tried all of em and here is what i think. If your going to choose a non bfs, go with flykernal12pre. If you want a bfs one, choose flykernal11c bfs.

The diff between them, that ive experienced, is that bfs kernals are better for gaming while nonbfs kernals have less hiccups in user interface (scrolling). But then again it also depends on ROM. Ive been using flykernal11c bfs with kimera2.1 and no lags in user interface and great gaming. So yea jus play around with it. I think the bfs kernal worked jus fine on this rom when i used it

Diferences in speed? Behavior?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
I used RCMix 2.2 and not the one you linked, but other Froyo Sense (Sengle 0.7). The main difference is that RCMix is stable with everything on board working correctly and this Froyo may get crashes (somebody who run it - confirm that) and as you know camera is not working. But Android 2.2 have some improvements and is newer than 2.1 :]

You have to decide: stability or new peace of cake with issues.

Would be nice, if someone else could also tell sth about that. I'm asking, because I don't have time for experiments. For now, I'm going to flash RCmix again.

@Dark Emotion: Thanks for your short comparison!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
I dont think you can go wrong with RCMix, i prefer it over VR12 as well, Some things i noticed were that RCMix wakes up faster than VR12 and that it wakes up dim and then brightens, while all other roms wake up bright. RCMix also has a lot more features/installed stuff, however they are all removable if you dont like them, but their fun to play with. This is all i can think of for now, as i havent used VR12 for a long time

he had little time back then, so I checked if OUT Kitchen works with this rom.
