[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booon:
I dont seem to have any accessibility options. I have it listed under settings, but the sub menu is not active.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
That's normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booon:
How come? I like to set my menus to black on white, instead of white on black.. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quintenn:
i just enabled launcher pro..

but now the time and weather widget doesnt appear anymore..

and i cant find how to add it to my home screen...

or does laucnherpro disable sense ui or something? :p

pleas help :)

grtz Q

the clock presenting on this image /
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
You cannot use Sense widgets without Rosie enabled.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's the point of launcher pro. No htc sense :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1immortal:
2 requests , if its ok :)

1. can you please look into my problem with the 3g conectivity and the gps issue ?

2. the new monster build that u're building , the one with 768 ... is there a more relaxed option maybe ?

there are not to much devices that can handle 768 without any problems , maybe thre's a way of making some "half" steps ?

thanks alot for all your hard work !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quintenn:
ah crap :D whats the point of installing a sense based rom if u cant use the sense in it :D

but is there a way to combine launcher pro and the clock /wheater widget? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Kendon has dualboot if you want it :-)

Called dualizer at www.villainrom.co.uk if interested.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@1immortal

The extreme kernel is built only for the devices that can handle it. Again, only 3 frequencies in the table, for optimal performance ;)

@Quintenn

I think there is a widget in the market(beautiful widget, not sure) that looks exactly like that one and you can use it with launcher pro.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I will ask him if I can use that, I know about it. Thanks ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quintenn:
Aight !

i'll have a look :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not possible :( HTC widgets only work on sense launcher due to frameworks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gensplejs:
Official european OTA

Are there any changes from the taiwan OTA to the european OTA that came out today?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
BogoMIPS is not cpu frequency :p to see your current freq:

adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No need to ask. Your users will need to do it manually mind, due to the way dual boot works. Just pop a link to the post and users can follow guide :-) less work for you :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
Fancy Widget, it's free :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szalay16:
rly nice ROM

smooth and fast

its very good for everyday usage :D

and the launcher pro works very well

nice work :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
OK, the Extreme Kernel is ready! Features:

- 768MHz / 176MHz

- optimal frequency steps

- very aggressive task killer(starts killing apps @ 35MB free RAM)

- aggressive scheduler

- very aggressive CPU settings

This is I think the best performance we can get out of our Heros. Unfortunately, not all devices can handle 768MHz, but if yours can do it, it's worth flashing!

Please leave feedback, it's essential.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
Damn! Mine is stable only @729 :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pharrisee:
Same here mate, 729 would be a good compromise I reckon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
Yeah it would! ;)

We're still lucky as many heros cant handle even 691 :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Do a nandroid and try to flash the extreme kernel. Who knows, maybe it works properly. It's DAMN FAST!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pornogeroc:
how i know its work ok the new kernel in my phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
If it boots it probably works properly on your device ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quintenn:
yaay , just what i was looking for :) thx !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jarski12345:
Gave the extreme kernel a shot but no luck :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mitsublw:
No luck here RaduG

Hi,

I've been following you, RaduG, for quite some time now. It was high time I posted something: Congratulations for your EXCELLENT work for the community!

You are a HERO too!

Briefly now, I also tried the quick kernel, to no avail. NO WAY! It won't go past the boot.

Thanks anyway.

mitsublw
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Thanks mate.

It would've been great if all heros could handle 768MHz. But I hope someone here has one of the lucky heros and will try it. I'm running it just now and it's a different phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
Thanks, but I'll wait for Radu

(In Radu we trust :rolleyes:)

One thing I have noticed is that my Wi-Fi does not go to sleep, any ideas? I am currently checking out background services, I have removed the Clock widget with weather, also the options for Wi-Fi sleep policy are now:

After 15 min

Never When Plugged in

Never

(I preferred it if HTC had included "When Screen Turns off" option.)

This i think is the only thing affecting my batteries performance

EDIT: I think I found it , Calendar widget also had the option to check the weather ticked Grrrrrrr!!!!!!, now removed I shall observe further
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@masterpfa

AFAIK your hero handles 768MHz. Can you please try the Extreme Kernel? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndrewWalker613:
ok, quick question.

procedure for flashing the latest version with the new kernel?

flash the rom, let it boot, reboot so its settled then go back to recovery and flash the kernel or just do it all at once?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
It doesn't matter. If you already have this rom flashed do a nandroid and flash the new kernel over it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
LOL. Fair enough.

Bear in mind:

So maybe it will be the same thing, maybe not... Only RaduG knows ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@anon

I now try to figure out how that works, because I had another idea in mind. I will decide soon, anyway, I will let @kendon know if I think his way is better ;)

Let's let this behind, I'm now interested in feedback @Extreme Kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
I'm downloading the extreme kernel right now.. will flash and tell u if it works.. maybe the newer versions of G2 are compatible RaduG. Crossing my fingers hoping it works on mine...

By the way.. will battery life suffer? :-/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mitsublw:
I'll go along with materpfa. I'd rather try RaduG's own!

By the way, wifi does rest in peace while it's not on.

Cheers,

mitsublw
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
It shouldn't be a battery life killer. Probably close to the default ChocolateEclair kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gensplejs:
Hmmmm ill get another hero tomorrow. Maybe that can handel 768MHz.

I send my hero in for repair a few months ago. After a month they claimed they lost my phone. Anyway i got a new hero.

So apparently they forgot to close the RMA. Cuz today i got a mail that they just shipped another brand new Hero my way LOL :-)

EDIT: my current hero won't boot with extreem kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
OK here goes! :cool:

EDIT: It seems I am unlucky too, have been stuck on the "HeRO" screen for the past 5-10 mins Shame!

Radu have you had many successes at this extreme speed, maybe 729Mhz or there abouts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
stop!

;)

RaduG! STOP! making nice ROM`s... Damn I`m flashing a ROM every other day cuz of you! Give me a break!

I`ve downloaded the extreme kernel and the rom update at work! LOL and will flash tonight.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@masterpfa

729 is not much better than 691. But 768 is the iedal speed to run if you can.

@Kukussi

Thanks mate.

Please let me know how the Extreme Kernel performs. I can't be the only one that can run it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
I tried to flash extreme krenel over villian rom 10.2, after bootscreen while showing connection bars it hunged, is it worth to try with chocolate?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
If it booted it's worth trying with ChocolateEclair. Don't flash this on other ROMs!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
ok will report back in few
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paffare:
I just want to start with thanking you RaduG for your great work!

I tried the extrem kernel, but no luck on my hero.

There is one problem i have found with all 2.1 roms, including this one. When I'm using spotify (streaming music app) and scroll in the browser/launcher at the same time the music lags. This never happened in the 1.5 roms, like mcr 3.2. Is this something that can be fixed? Would be awesome!

Thanks, Anton.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pharrisee:
can't get mine to boot at 768, restoring backup. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pharrisee:
Maybe this would help, http://www.androidspin.com/2010/06/...-up-your-phones-response-to-an-incoming-call/

It's a way of using the linux command 'renice' to change the priority of various apps, can be scripted so might help as long as you can find out the name of the process associated with spotify.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I am downloading now, I will install the ROM, set it up how I like it then nadroid and try the extreme kernal. Comming from VanillaEclair so I am expecting good things ;)!

Extreme kernel

probably i am a lucky guy

mine is working with the extreme kernel.

its a bird, no..its a plan, no... so its my HERO flying :)

@RaduG, you made one great work on it.

in return, i will post a small present to make this ROM even more perfect.

:oi rebuilt the framework so the ROM is supporting RTL for the Arabic and Hebrew langueges (for your users over the sea :)).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Thanks a lot mate, that would be great!

Is the kernel stable with you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Carjigo:
I do not boot the kernel extreme hero with that damn.

regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
the kernel is very stable. i'm using the launcherpro. it's just great :D

i'm almost finished testing the new framework. It will be up in few minutes
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raheelc:
thanks for the rom RaduG.

I was planning on flashing it, but i wanted to ask you something first. I posted on the thread earlier (post 199, and 207), about my GMT time zone,its supposed to be +5, but in the rom it shows up as +6 due to daylight savings, but we dont observe daylight savings where im located (and every other 2.1 rom that ive tried so far, villain rom 10.2, and superhero rom)...and this issue causes problems in my threaded sms's.

I was wondering is there any fix for this issue? or is there some way that you might know of fixing this issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@raheelc

Can't you set time at your location(which would be GMT+6 in the ROM) and the time to an hour earlier?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raheelc:
@RaduG:

I tried that, and it does change my phones time back to the actual time, but when i receive messages, the time stamp on them is still an hour ahead, so the order of the messages in the message threads are messed up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I don't know what to tell you... let me see what I can do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
RTL support for ChocolateEclair 1.0.1

Hi boys and girls,

i present the RTL support for this ROM and this one

only!

. it cannot be used in other ROMS, so pleae don't try it.

attached is the framework.zip file, and here are the stages to install it:

1. rename framework.zip---> framework.jar and put it let say on drive c:

2. reboot your device into recovery mode, and connect it to the computer.

3. push the file using the commands:

adb shell

#mount /system

#exit

adb push c\:framework.jar /system/framework/

4. reboot the phone.

5. enjoy :)

the change have no effect on LTR, so don't worry.

the ROM will now support the writing in RTL languege with correct direction of the numbers. includes SMS, EMAIL etc, it soles the reading of combined headlines containing RTL+LTR+numbers. does not include reading emails on gmail!!!

@RaduG

btw, i got 4.32MFLOPS using the extreme kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Thanks a lot! I will link it in the first post.

Hmm, I guess that result was just a conincidence. The normal result would be at about 3.3-3.4MFolps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
xtrem kernel

@RaduG...

Can't boot with the extreme kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
did it again (using benchmark)

MFLOPS DP - 3.105

MFLOPS SP - 4.258
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raheelc:
alright thanks a lot...i thought it might be worth a shot to ask you since your the developer of the rom. please do let me know if anything develops abt this, cuz i really wanted to flash this rom to my hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
LauncherPro

@RaduG

small problem here.

i managed changing the Sense launcher to LauncherPro, but after reboot i automaticly went back to sense.

i'm trying to clear Sense ,as mentioned on the first post, but after pressing the HOME button, it's going back to Sense again.

what i'm doing wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Woo hoo! Extreme kernal boots!!

Very slick ROM RaduG, nice work

29th pg pwnd

just downloaded and installed last night... really diggin the ROM seeing as it is my first ROM on my newly rooted hero (that took two friggin days to root mind you). but i love it so far. kinda wish it had live wallpapers but i can deal. its super snappy and not laggy at all!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndrewWalker613:
you need to click the always use this option checkmark under the 2 options.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1immortal:
well ... no luck for me , keeps rebooting .

as far as i remember , mine went all the way up to 710 , and that was about it .

bummers :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bazza_1988:
my hero also kept rebooting with the extreme kernel :( but for the 30secs i got to play with it, it was very very very fast
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dan96815:
Hi can you make a kernel 726-245 or how can I change it?

Thanks..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silver2kgti:
i like this better than villainROM... so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Any chance of a MidKernel at 650/245 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
a lot of people has asked and RaduG has said no.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
The extreme kernel just hanged and reset itself on me.. there must be something extra you are doing RaduG , some special settings, or there must be something our HERO's don't have that yours does :)

Get to the bottom of it.. and make this Xtreme Kernel work for us :)

By the way, im having trouble activating LauncherPro over Sense. I dont see where launcherpro is. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I would like to make the Extreme KErnel work on all devices, but I can't, and it's not my fault. Some newer Heros, like mine(built in feb 2010) can handle much higher speeds than the older ones. There probably is a newer board revision in the latest Heros, I don't know.

And now, to answer the kernel questions once and for all.

Believe me, I have no problem in compiling kernels for you, since it takes a small amount of time, but it is useless. The default kernel comes at 691MHz and has the optimal frequency steps. At 710/72x, the performance boost would be... wouldn't be :)) I have built those kernels to be the best around. I won't provide other kernels(at least at the moment) than the default one, the lokernel and the extreme kernel.

Cheers.

i got stuck in boot loop what should i do??

Do i have to partition the sd card to use rom??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Please paste your logcat...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
extreme kernel stopped at boot loop, I purchased my hero in Nov 2009, so it might be from old revision
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jacekd:
I have another problem. On this rom network is very slow, only edge. I flashed twice and is the same. I also try lokernel, but nothing changed. On villain for example in the same place I have hsdpa and 3g.

I will try push your kernel to villain rom and will see

It's the radio. Flash the new one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jacekd:
I have the new one.

banner from bootloader is:

RADIO-6.35.15.01
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Hey RaduG you seem to be online, so I ask directly my question to you: I don't success to rm Calendar.apk and Calendar.odex. And I can't push a stock Calendar.apk (the one from VE3.3RC4 for exemple).

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm to noobish for sure. But maybe You could provide us an update.zip for that? Please?

I think it just will increase the value of chocolate eclair. Because the HTC Calendar is the most repulsing thing of Sense IMO. Ugly and impossible to set default notification to null.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
650 will be a good midpoint for those devices that can't handle > 700Mhz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jacekd:
to @Judim

Try remove Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk not odex, and after that push your version of course before first reboot. If you do this after reboot you have to change some ower id in data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jacekd:
now I flashed radio again and have the same problem with network
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pschoch:
Where can I download the new radio?

Cheers

Pat
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jacekd:
I downloaded from:

http://code.google.com/p/sensehero/downloads/list

and

from Paul Modaco site

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ungwa-taiwan-multiple-repacks-online-kitchen/

diff shows no differcenses of course in images insite zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Thanks!!! I did it and it works!! Wooo!

So for everyone who totally dislike the HTC Calendar do following just after the flashing of the rom BEFORE FIRST BOOT

On your computer, find Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk in the *.zip from the ROM VanillaEclair3.3RC4. (You have maybe to download it if your not a big fan of RaduG and every ROM he makes).

Place them in the folder where you have your ADB tool.

Click Start Menu/exec -> cmd.

Go into your ADB folder. (cd sdk/tools/ for exemple)

On your Hero, you are still in the Recovery menu because you just flashed the ChocolateEclair Rom and you have not yet rebooted. Good.

adb shell mount /system

adb shell rm /system/app/Calendar.apk

adb shell rm /system/app/CalendarProvider.apk

adb push Calendar.apk /system/app/

adb push CalendarProvider.apk /system/app/

Then reboot. First boot, few minutes, green screen, etc.

Enjoy the snapines of ChocolateEclair with the smartess of Vanilla Calendar!

hi all,

Fisrtly RaduG, good job ,

Please i have cleared the default data from HTC sens as mentionned in the first poste , but the launcherpro dont appear .

any idea ?:D

someone help me? with my radio or something. My network works only on edge or gprs :( on every new rom, even on new villain 10.3. Only on villain 10.2 is ok. very strange :(

Today I reflashed radio again and its the same
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Well the Extreme Kernel worked, but I got a random reboot every 30 - 40 minutes so I have gone back to the standard one. It was nice for a while, but the standard one is quick enough for me anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vudiq:
Hi,

do you have your APN configured correctly? I ask because I have already tried one of the Taiwain-based releases and Slovakia's APNs were not included. But maybe Radu updated the .xml with all APNs, so can't really tell, if this is the problem.

Check Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names - check if there are any access points (I have one for 'internet' and one for 'mms').

If there is one selected access point for internet, check the settings if they match the settings of your provider (check the web-page of your provider, support section, or just call the providers hotline).

If there is no APN, it means there is no APN configuration for your operator in the ROM and you have to set it up manually (again, consult with your provider).

Cheers,

Re: [ROM][Sense 2.1][Tue 15 Jun] ChocolateEclair 1.0.1 "Very powerful stuff"

Just want to say thanks again to radu, I am getting 24hrs battery life, even though mine is on its last legs. Using th lokernel version :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vudiq:
Check following:

open dialer, key in *#*#4636#*#* - Testing app should open, select Phone information, scroll down and set preferred network type to 'GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)'. Then you can close this app (back button twice). Your network connection should restart and select best available type of connection.

Maybe there is this kind of settings directly in Mobile networks settings - not on this ROM yet, just finished downloading via EDGE, will flash probably in the evening.

EDIT: [offtopic] This could be interesting for VanillaEclair fans - in the Testing app -> Phone information -> Menu button -> More -> you can disable data connection ;-) I know it is a long way, but I think it is more effective than renaming the APNs and then Phone searches for non-existing APN. As I have unlimited data plan, this is useless for me, but someone might find it usefull. [/offtopic]

Hello friend from across the sea.. . can you provide some instructions how to push this file? I mean I understand that i need to have the android sdk installed on the computer, where? (I am using a mac, or windows from a virtual machine) what else I need to do before I put the adb shell command on the terminal.

Also do you know of a way to do this via Terminal emulator from the phone itself?

thanks allot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vudiq:
check here or here or search the forum for keywords like adb, guide, howto, etc. to find out how to setup Android SDK (with 'adb' and other tools) :-)

You can't do it via Terminal emulator, as you need to replace a file, which is probably in use and on a read-only partition (you can make that partition read-write, but I'm not sure if replacing the framework.jar on a running system would be safe).
