Its really not very fun to come and annoy another persons rom from stolen work. I dont like what you have posted in my thread and you probably dont like what I am posting in your thread. I have done nothing to deserve your hate.

Please stay out of my thread unless you have a comment everyone wants to hear Elemag. This is all I am going to say, please stop.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
I told you either to remove your donation link or to stop using my work. But you are greedy...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CyberWalrus:
Hes asking for donations to buy a new hero, after his old one got water damaged. How can you demand to stop him from those donations. If people want to help buy him an new hero, then why cant they?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szalay16:
is your Rom include a launcher app or should i have to download it??

cuz i cant use my wifi, dunno why :( and i dont have mobile data plan

so i cant do anything now :/

and i havent find the launcherpro app yet :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
It wasn't when he set up the link. And I doubt it is damaged even now. But that's my opinion, based on my conversations with him. You can buy him a Ferrari if you want, but that won't change the fact that the author disagrees that someone else is accepting donations for his work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Well, it is plain Cyanogenmod, so it includes the ADW launcher by default. I also like LauncherPro more, and that's the first thing I download after reflashing :) Btw, wifi is working, and I use it all the time, I can't release a rom without it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] donatienus:
I have the same error in the new version.

Nerverless, it's a great rom. Thanks Elemag.

USB Tether

Hi,

thanks for your work.

I have tried USB tether (Wireless & networks -> Internet tethering), first, the 'usb-tether' script was missing, so pulled it from here, pushed it to /system/bin, chmod-ed to 0755. Now the log output is (after checking the Internet tethering option):

How can I note on the computer that it works? I'm running openSUSE & Vista.

I will report about battery and performance later, can't really say after hour of usage, but everything looks working (auto-brightness, wifi, mobile data, ...).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I've gone from 54% to 6% in 1h 56 min, and Spare Parts reports 100% running. Not sure what could have caused it, since it wasn't running all the time earlier today.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CyberWalrus:
I will believe his story unless he gives me reason to doubt it, and it does not seem unreasonable to me. If you gave him the source to your work, and gave him permition to publish it, and he has not just spat out your work again, it is different, and he does work on it, and fix bugs and the like. I see no reason why he cant accept donations. If he was actively charging for it, I see why you would object. And he isnt even asking for the donations, so I dont think you should see it as him making profit off your back. And he IS crediting you

I think mabey the most sensible conclusion would be to explain that your hard work has made main part of his rom, and to offer your donation link and a link to this thread, along side his own
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Well, I installed wired_tether_1_2.apk and it is working, no errors reported. Perhaps you don't use the latest version? If you use the latest version, I will add this issue in my TODO list and test it more extensively and will ask you to become a kind of a beta tester for it. Okay?

Feedback always appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
In Win7 I get a new network that is connected to the internet whenever tethering works. Wired tether is the last thing I need to have working in any vanilla-ROM and I'll be all over it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
I can't suck that much of a battery even with an almost non-stop usage. Please tell me more, how you did that, what were you using, have you wiped battery stats during flash, are you using any kind of task killer or overclock app, etc... What you are telling is not good for the default kernel...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I did every wipe on the Amon-RA recovery screen when installing. I guess it could be Linpack, I didn't really use other applications. I saw nothing special in task manager, though.

I'm not using any task killer or overclocking. I have google and twitter auto-sync (fb sync not working), then I have Snowstorm (weather widget) running.

Network usage reports a service called "0" running all the time, that's logcat, I think. Also Android System has almost 100% in Partial Wake Usage, whatever that means.

Do you know of any way to see which apps have been running all the time? I'll install a task manager from Market and see.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
I gave him the permission as long as he gave proper credits. When the donation link appeared, I asked him to remove it, cause it is my work he wants donations for. After patiently waited for a week, I decided that this can't last any longer.

He did bugfixes? Install this rom, and you will hardly experience any bugs to be fixed. Yes, user requests, like Facebook from market sync and so on...

As for my donation link -- why you don't like the person that gives that to you in opensource spirit, but defend the one that tries to make money out of it?

I will probably set up a donation link when I make my kernel sources available for everyone. I feel that the working Cyanogen vendor tree is not enough :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Hmmm, there is something you installed to report 100% running, cause I have only 56% with heavy usage.

However, thanks to you, I have noticed that Wifi is always running. Will attempt to fix that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
No problem! I support your ROM and your hard work on the kernel. :)

I restarted and I don't have 100% running anymore, so it definitely was an application. I didn't see anything related in the task manager, though.

EDIT:

Not sure if you already saw this, so I'm reposting.

I score about 2.76 MFLOPS on Linpack every time, which seems kind of slow compared to other roms. Is this what you, elemag, also get or is something wrong with my install?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Only real requests I have for this ROM are;

* confirmed wired tether (if tethering requires an APK I can live with it...)

* a kernel without BFS (don't like it :))

* facebook-sync...

small things but the wired tether is a dealbreaker since I use it a lot and a BFS-kernel has never been good for me :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CyberWalrus:
Ok, Im just trying to be fair here, though I do currently use EzHero, so I suppose that will bias me.

Seeing it from your point of view, I guess I cant see why he wouldnt remove his donate link if you really didnt like it.

Your are obviously the better developer here, and I respect you for that. But this dispute does need to be resolved between the two of you, and a big flame war isnt going to help. These things happen...

I guess the best way for you to win this would be to produce a stunning froyo rom, or whatever cyanogen would need to put his upcomming froyo release, on our heros!

I hope this gets soughted out, and thanks for your hard work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I have to say, the worst thing you can do is post on his very popular thread about how he stole your work and shouldn't have a donate link there.

Since you've publicly stated that he is allowed to use your code, and that your work is open source, and he's publicly stated that his donate link is just that, an entirely optional donate link, and he has at this point yet to be disproved problems with his phone (which I'm certain you would think is terrible if it happened to you)...

Well you need to try and be the bigger person. It's legal to do what he's doing, and also very very common in the rom-building world, and not looked down upon as long as credit is given to the original developers (I believe he gives credit... if I'm wrong then that does change things a little bit).

What you're doing on his thread didn't really come across very well I'm afraid. And publicly stating that he's lying about his phone's damage while he's being offered donations to help him buy a replacement is actually slander. I mean, for the tiny amount of money we're talking about here all of it is nonsense really. But it doesn't do your work justice to write posts like that on his thread.

By far the best way you can come out on top if you're feeling competitive would be to create a new version of hte rom that is better than his and to release it with a new license that doesn't allow anyone to use the code. However I'm not sure you can/would want to use such a license.

Isn't this open source? And doesn't open source allow donations do anyone involved optionally?

Anyway, I do respect your work, and you're obviously the more vital developer wrt cyanogenmod on the hero since you did the fundamental original port/build. I do expect that most people know that already. but he did beat you to releasing a version that had great feature support, responsive help and so on.

Now that you're doing the same thing it will be exciting to see what you can come up with!

But just let xeno be - he's doing his best and has earned every penny he's received (all of what, like $100 or something? the amount of money exchanging hands isn't worth fighting about and I don't think it breaks any open source rules or conventions).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] codnik:
Do you have voice to text input working on this? i.e. icon on keyboard, can have text inputted in any app...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
That is working great on my end, though I'm using the Motorola Droid X's Multi-touch keyboard. :)

Still, Voice-input works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
just installed you're 5.0.8 rom, looks good! Big respect for you're effort!

Don't let this dispute between xeno and you stand in the way to do youre thing!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Icon on keyboard -- yes. You will need to through Settings -->Text-to-speech --> Install voice data to make it work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
It won't :) I am doing what I am doing regardless of him or everyone else. You may also notice I've made my work available for everyone here --> http://github.com/maxisma/Hero-CM-vendor

The thing I don't like is someone getting your fully-working-everything and saying it is his worl... But nevermind, I won't write anything more about that here or at xenoside's thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krispijn_s:
So far this rom is looking pretty sweet. Got JIT enabled, linpack scores around the 4.7, but you mainly notice it using the 3D gallery. Only thing not working is installing Springpad and Layar. It gives that error 17 someone else already experienced.

This is the case when you try to install from the market, but also when you try to put back a backup with Titanium backup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
I won't write anything more on that topic... People have heads on their shoulders, it's their decision if they want to use it or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
I can't respond to everyone, which actually is a good thing! However, I read every post here and will either ask you for more info about your concern or add it to my TODO list.

Thank you, and know that without your feedback this ROM won't progress beyond the plain CM 5.0.8!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I think that will end up being a really wise decision :-)

cyanogenmod for hero will, I expect, end up being the #1 vanilla rom for hero. Give it time, keep up the great work :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patrick15:
Second that.. Your rom is by far the best I've tried for my hero so far.. and I've tried alot!

Fast, reliable and beautiful.

Looking forward to CyanogenMOD 6.0, hope it comes soon :-p

Keep up the good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Thanks!

CM6 will come, but it will either be extremely experimental, or you will have to be patient for a working release. As a general rule I don't release anything that is not working for me as an everyday rom. That's probably because I am working as a sysadmin and I make everything possible to make stuff work and get less user complaints :P

However, I am already working on CM6, but if I am to release some alpha version, there will have to be a large user support for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patrick15:
Nice man. No reason to stress it, I totally agree with your release policy.

Cm6 will come when its ready. Take your time.

We already have an nearly perfect rom to play with. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fox00j1:
Downloading now. I've only recently rooted my "Brucey" but am loving the work, finally feel better about my wife having the Desire when I'm stuck with the Hero, ho hum.

Thanks for all the work, I have no idea how you do it, but I'm impressed none the less :)

I guess we are all good at something, for me it's ......erm......anyway. Time to flash that bad boy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krispijn_s:
Quoting myself.. ugh..

I've figured out why this fails... there's and issue with probably the build.prop or something as it errors

E/PackageManager( 132): Package com.springpad requires unavailable feature android.hardware.camera; failing!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
hmmmz the battery drain is pretty high atm...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] imachine:
Hi, have you possibly thought about a non-bfs kernel?

Perhaphs as an optional update.zip - bfs-enabled kernels need either tweaking or are just causing troubles, at least in my experience - they do not bring anything good to the setup, and cause more havoc under load.

If you need any help, I can test and provide logcat output.

I think the fact google dropped bfs is a valid statement itself, suggesting bfs as an interesting, yet not useful invention.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
I was just going to sleep, but couldn't resist one more post :)

The -17 error will be added into the TODO list and will be worked out ASAP. Thanks for the feedback!

The non-bfs kernel lies at my workstation, just waiting your performance/battery-drain report. As I see the responsiveness is not an issue, just want to see some more positive battery reports... The battery reports I am looking for should come from users that use the Hero mostly as a phone, cause you will all agree that constantly testing and running at 691 MHz won't give you much battery life :P

As for the low benchmark scores -- there is an option -- do you want me to make a kernel which makes a hell out of Linpacks or you just want to keep up the quickness this kernel provides?

My priority for now is:

1) Non-bfs kernel clocked at the same frequencies as the current one

2) Lower-clocked non-BFS kernel with improved battery life for casual users which will be included by default in the next or the next-er version

3) Cutting-edge kernel with BFS @768 MHz for the ones who can use it

4) Optional -- a benchmark kernel @691 MHz (so I can test it) but I am not promising this one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raidei:
I have a strange behavior with rotation: when i do it the application "resets" itself.. for example if im in the market and i rotate the phone, applications icons load again. If im in spare parts under the "general" subsectcion it returns to the main screen of spare parts!

I just activated jit, nothing more!

Is it a bug?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krispijn_s:
Confirmed +1 also with jit enabled.. will try the same thing without jit and report back

EDIT: tried it without JIT and got the same results: rotating seems to reset the apps, making the market reload, making spare parts go back to the main menu. I haven't paid particular close attention to this behaviour with previous roms, so I don't know if this is normal behaviour, but it stikes me as odd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raidei:
+1 even without jit, it does the same thing :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
As for wanted kernels: benchmarks is nothing I care about at all. I prefer a kernel that gives the best performance when actually using the phone (not really playing any games so everything besides that :P)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
@elemag

I understand that you are searching for more normal users but this us not my first custom rom on my hero. Tested all the vanilla and sense 2.1 roms so i think i know what is good and not speaking in usage terms. I also would like to say that at daytime i use my phone moderate for calling purposes.

I came from superhero 2.0 and that one i did nearly 2 days with one overnight charge. But there were so many bugs at it that it was no fun..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
just a note, speaking from the POV of a (relatively new) android app developer:

- keeping an app's contents state maintained between rotations is something the app has to support. By default screen rotation will reset an app unless the app has specific code to work around that design choice google made.

Maybe those apps (market etc) just let android reset them when the screen rotates? I'd try it now on superhero 2 but my phone is in a state of:

...which happens to me about once a month LoL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I've been on superhero 2 now for a day and a half with great success. after I did the new OTA updates for lockscreen (which solved many problems/freezes), facebook updates, and the new radio, it's been very very solid. I haven't experienced one crash or fc with it other than the ones from apps I use that always fc when the phone is starting up (my file uninstaller app for example).

So don't write off supervillain yet due to stability - OTA updates have solved pretty well all of those problems I think.

I'd say it's much more solid than the vanilla roms I tried over the past few days.

but it's also using htc stuff - so then it's a matter of your own preferences and where you stand on certain things :-)

update: by the way, I don't mean to put down the rom in this thread LoL :-)

sorry about that. but I don't think superhero has as many stability issues or missing features as does cyanogen's basic build 5.0.8. So far at least. But I STILL would prefer to run cyanogen on my phone so I'm here watching hopefully for the ultimate rom build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] imachine:
I believe the translations need updates. Did you use stock cyanogen sources so they're just non-updated like that, or?

I came from EzHero, it seems it too used 5.0.8 sources, but I had a bit better translated phone when using Polish locale?

Also, now that the HERO 2.1 WWE is out, we could perhaphs use some of it's locale settings - just a thought - to update cyanogen.

I started a thread on cyanogens forums, but I am still waiting for the .xml files by the current developer of Polish Keyboard in market, so it's merely an "idea" thread.

Another interesting thing to do might be porting 2.2 keyboard to 2.1, don't know how possible that is tho now that we have the sources (2.2) out, maybe it won't be too hard :-)

I don't have much time unfortunately right now (I'm preparing for an exam and just using my HERO as a business/personal phone) but maybe next month I will be able to help develop or so, now I can only help logcat :)

Another more saddening issue I experienced is that when wiping and restoring, despite having selected "Back up my settings to Google", your rom did not bring my applications back (maybe I was too quick and beat it to it:P), but, more importantly, it did not bring my remembered wifi network settings :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hansmrtn:
Elemag,

I apologize for the stress I have caused. I am extremely grateful of the kernel you have made and are letting me use in EzHero. EzHero would not have been possible without you. I can see why you are stressing over my donation link, but once I raise the money to buy a new hero, I can promise you they will be taking down. Just know that I am sorry, for my actions towards this matter. PM me.

I noticed a funny bug just now.

In the Messaging application, when a recipient doesn't have an image, the default droid image is upside down. :D

I'll start a full battery test today, btw.

This isn't the default froyo keyboard, but check out the Motorola Droid X's multi-touch keyboard. I'm using it and it's works great!

Hi all,

Since I install this rom tonight, I can't connect anymore with ADB!

'adb device' give me:

??????? Unauthorized

Some info about that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] david.f.girault:
Well, strange, it works here, at work. Sorry for the noise...

I can confirm that both version of ADB are 1.0.26. The last one from Android SDK Tools r6.

So, I don't understand what happened.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
I've started a batterytest as well, will report back in the evening! (it's 10:44 here now)

Like the fact that Gallery 3D is faster on my Hero than the 2D Gallery :D..

Oh and by the way: There is a text error in Car Home on my phone, so it's only showing the upper half of every letter :)

Been using EzHero for a couple of days, then I saw that the source-man had released the rom himself! :D - Keep it pure Cyanogen mate :D (maybe except of the kernel ;) )

Sorry for late reply, black-out yesterday evening until 22:30 CET in my city-part.

OK, where can I get the wired-tether apk? Nevermind, I will google the forum :) Of course I will test for you, if needed.

One other thing - when starting NDrive navigation, the app does not start, only dies, no FC error. Log here (pastebin).

Now I read all the other posts, hopefully I did not double post, wanted to reply to you in first.

Features:

fixed the error -17 on installing some apps that require camera

fixed bug that causes the device to run on full brightness after unlocking

fixed the somewhat sluggish notification bar
