hey - just wanted to say:

while my goto rom when all else fails is always VR12, which really is perfect, I'm not a huge sense fan any longer due to sense's inferior contact method gui and launcher (although I love the weather animations, mail widget and integrated exchange/google widget).

so I keep dabbling around. I love the froyo builds out there and they're fast, stable, but have broken camera and some unexpected app compatibility issues I've found (with apps that are supposedly froyo compatible). of course it's not finished yet... but it's way better than an alpha should be.

I've given good tries with cm5.0.8 and ezhero5 (and ezhero4 a while back) - each has it's issues, and those issues have yet to be resolved (cm5.0.8: STILL unstable camera operation, ezhero5: STILL iffy gui responsiveness.... the froyo prealpha builds are more stable and faster than either of those...)

SOOOOOoooo... I tried your rom today. I never tried it because I figured 5.0.7 can't be as good as 5.0.8, right? LoL stupid me...

THIS is the best vanilla rom out there. I'm extremely happy. we'll see when I try gps etc today, but I'm really really excited wtih it so far.

I pushed corcal for my meeting requests - solved that problem as always with 2.1 vanilla roms (2.2 has exchange calendar integration finally though... so many things to look forward to!)

So just wanted to give you my compliments sir.

Fanstastic work.

wish I knew why 5.0.8 roms were so.... um.... iffy.

UPDATE: as with many roms, I had to run gpsstatus first to get the gps to work. I can live with that, it performed great afterwards in nav etc. Quite an impressive rom. I'm pushing it's limits right now, installed hundreds of apps+games to see what happens. Thank you for this amazing product. (no, I won't keep all that stuff on there if it degrades performance over time, but so far it's still bloody fast and stable! This is really just my way of testing one aspect of rom stability and performance... fyi)

Is it possible to get wifi tether working in this ROM?? It's the only thing I want that I can't get to work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] majczu:
Everything works as it should. Compcache, JIT, WiFi, camera. Well done. Thanks. ROM is fast, very fast and stable ;)

*=at least for my carkit

Radu, you just earned yourself a couple of cokes from me. For fixing it and sharing it with the community.

Ace, mate... truly great. :cool:

Now go focus on life for awhile ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Thanks mate ;)

Hi,

Just flashed version 4.0 ;)

But i asked many times about the dutch language and the keyboard.

It seems that auto complete(words) is not working in dutch when typing a message or e-mail.

Is it also possible to use another keyboard in the dutch language,cause I used Villainrom in the past and that keyboard was working well for me in dutch.

Thanks and I really like this rom :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Sorry for missing your question.

I really don't know what to tell you about the auto complete feature. Maybe someone that uses other than english language can tell us.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krispijn_s:
Dutch actually works rather nice with this rom... if you want a proper keyboard with auto complete: try the HTC_IME mod. You can find it here. Note that you'll need the low-res version for the HTC Hero.

Camera doesn't even start..

If I try to start the camera, I get:

Camera works just fine with me... Do you have a T-Mobile version of the Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Ok, so A2DP working. Great news, now my only grudge is wired tether... :)

Trackball is kind of a non-issue but it is nice when it is working however :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
A2DP was the major issue that had to be fixed. I'll have a look at the wired tether thing and trackball. I can't give you an ETA though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
oh man! chef! u made me love my hero even more now !! lmao!! thanks again bro! lovely stuff u come up :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdr:
No.. not T-Mobile.

I figured it out.. Fring was locking the camera service. I killed it and camera started working.

Never seen this issue before though.

And yes.. awesome rom.. :)

I'm back to AOSP after a lot of villainy.. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vudiq:
the module is there (checked the main zip file, did not flash yet, did not check individual kernel files), try checking if in 'OpenVPN Settings' app you have enabled to load the tun kernel module (menu button -> Advanced) and also check TUN module settings - should be:

Load module using: modprobe

Path to tun module: tun

If still does not work, go to terminal or connect via adb and enter:

modprobe tun

and paste any error message. If no error appears, then enter:

lsmod

It should list loaded modules, actually only the tun-module, unless other modules are loaded.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevin-sc:

Need tun.ko for ve4.0

When I open screen keyboard lights is working always even I move my hero under a light

But with v10 Rom. it can close under a light and working in dark

my English is poor
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I totally second that!

When I read on some topics that no 2.1 rom is perfect, I know they never tried VE 4.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silver2kgti:
only problem im having with this rom right now is the unmount sd card isnt highlighted. am i the only one having this problem? i loaded another rom to check it out and it works fine on that that rom. (SenseHERO 2.1)

so far i like vanilla better than sense
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea, I've had that problem wtih all sense roms including froyo on the hero. very frustrating! are we just doing something wrong as end users or are all of these vanilla roms really broken with their sd settings features?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Hi guys, I keep getting exceptions related to "Illegal cahracter in query at index XX", where XX is a number that ranges from 60 to 99. Any idea what's going on? The phone usually freezes or auto restarts at these points.

Ok, so I'm guessing by now that wireless tether is not possible...

What's the deal with USB tether in this ROM - you can select it in the settings, but it doesn't work and when you go back into wireless and network settings it's not selected again...

I'm going away over the weekend and really need a connection via my laptop either wired or wireless and I really don't want to have to flash a different ROM!! If anyone can help that would be great.

When can I get VanillaEclair 4.0 renew?

hi,

I like your Rom, so fast.

When can I get VanillaEclair 4.0 renew?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kippertoffee:
Thanks a lot - what a great ROM. Fast, clean and free from crap. Top banana.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kippertoffee:
Hello,

A quick question:

Does this ROM have flac compatability. I have just come from CMH 1.2 which is also based on cyanogen and it had flac support. Wierdly, when I first tried to play a flac with the standard music player on VanillaEclair it played the song, but crashed the player and I couldn't stop the playback. After a reboot the player throws a message, saying it cannot play the file. I did a complete wipe before installing VanillaEclair.

Any advice? Is it possible to get flac support in the native player?

Cheers,

Pete
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danoneil:
OK, so back to my favourite ROM (this one!) and Wifi tether is now working perfectly... happy bunny now! No idea why it wasn't working before, but frankly couldn't care less!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Beagan:
the fix doesnt work for me just says verification failed :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gascanieto:
Really nice ROM, very stable, using the lokernel, though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
WiFi tethering always worked for me (ok, might have needed a reboot once but still, working).

As for USB-tether this is what I had to do in a Cyan 5.0.8 based ROM. Might work in this as well:

My guess is that whatever should send a command to usb_function_switch fails and that the wired-tether.apk points to the wrong function to switch usb to tether mode.

If you try the above, please let me know if it works on this ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I will implement this in the next version. Thanks kosmiq, it is a very big help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
chief, mind looking at the phone not sleeping issue after un_plugging from charger. or did I not leave it alone long enough before attempting to check spareparts .

Be aware though that I did not test it on this ROM but that's what I had to do on EzHero 5.0 with Elemags kernel in order to get the wired-tether.apk (http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/) working :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
For those of you running this ROM and want to try out wired-tether, please try the version from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706602

report if it works or not (Thanks Elemag for the tip!).

RaduG, perhaps something to include in future versions if it works? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naenee:
Hm.. I tried the default setup, it booted fine but the screen became unresponsive - I could no longer enter the 'Settings' area by touching the screen and after going to sleep it would not wake up. After a hard reset (battery removal) I tried using the hardware keys (scroll wheel + home/menu buttons), which got me into settings, but WiFi would not connect. I tried the 'lokernel', to no avail.

Upon trying to enter Recovery to put back a rom which I've had no problems with, I found it would not enter it - I had to take out my battery up to three times before it entered recovery, albeit slowly - it actually stalled a bit before showing me the full menu.

I've used Vanilla Eclair in the past and thought I'd give it a shot since 2.1 was officially released (although I am not sure it uses that as it's not specified in the OP), but I'll leave it to people who have more time on their hands to tinker instead of use their phones as intended.

Even though this is not for me, I'm sure it's appreciated, so keep up the good work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I have tested it: Oh yeah! It works. How my VE 4.0 becomes more and more perfect!! Wooo!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Sweet! That was the only thing that made me leave VanillaEclair actually, that wired-tether didn't work (kind of a dealbreaker for me nowadays).

Thanks for trying it out! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Just transfer the file into your SD Card. Then with a file explorer install it. Et voilà.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Just out of interest...

RaduG, are you planning on taking upon Froyo or going for 5.08 base and 2.1 VanillaEclair first? ^_^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
5.0.8 sources and then Froyo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Cool. I've looked at CM6 alpha but came back straight to VE4 cause it's still THE best ROM out there. I'm kind of interested at giving CE1.1r2 a go but I like the vanilla feel of my VE4. I know I could get it with Launcher Pro in CE1.1r2 as well but I think that I'm just a sucker for things that just work and do their job... No fiddling needed. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I fully suspect that something went wrong for some reason with your flashing or wiping. Maybe by accident you didn't do a full wipe including dalvik and ext before flashing this. either that or you didn't give it an hour or two after first boot to finish up it's first install tasks.

that's possibly the very first time I've read of this issue with VE4.0, and I personally found it to be the most releasable, fully commercial quality vanilla rom ever.

maybe it just won't run on your phone? but I highly recommend giving it another try with a really thorough flash first. It's so worth it to have a perfect eclair install.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
update: also tried wifi tether (the one in the market, the standard one we all use). even after a reboot I get an error when when enabling it where the log says it has trouble talking to the wifi network interface. thoughts? solutions?

so I'm back to trying the usb tethering, which may simply be really complicated to do on a mac as it turns out ... it seems like I have to use a script with my android sdk and other crap just to connect? forget it LoL. There HAS to be a simpler way to tether a mac to an android phone... or is that just wishful thinking? below is my original post which asked silly questions about how to usb tether to my macbook pro, still looking for ideas:

original post: ok.... how? where do I learn how to tether this to my macbook pro (osx snow leopard)? the app runs, my macbook sees it as a new network connection and asks for phone number (which I've tried entering, leaving blank, putting in different formats), login info (which I don't believe exists), and under advanced options allows me to enter my sp (sp.telus.com) and choose network type (gsm/3g), so I set the options I could find that made sense.

it always tries to connect but never finishes and gives up.

do I really have to do the whole tunneling thing with extra apps? and if so then how do I configure it since the only info I can find in google is for azlink as in the following example: http://thinkden.com/index.php/general/admin/75

wrong place to ask I suppose, however leaving in 1 hour on a trip so would love to figure this out before I go or else I just won't bother taking my computer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Have you tried the WiredTether.apk from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706602 ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] canadian_psyko:
I've noticed at least one other person having issues with MMS. I can receive them, but I am unable to send them.

I played around a bit, ChocolateEclair r2 works, but the exact same APN settings will not work on VE.

I've noticed that the APN settings for VE don't have the option for MMS protocol (CE does), not sure what to add/push/steal from CE to change this? I tried overwriting the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db (does not have the field for mms protocol by default), but that didn't help, not sure what else to try.

Hey RaduG,

I did a Dalvik cache wipe, but it still happened while I was using Google Maps. The phone just shut off and rebooted. :eek:

I gave up and did a full wipe plus a format of the sd-card plus re-flash of the ROM. So far so good.

Also another issue that I've been noticing all along but neglected to bring it up because I tend to suspect my mobile carrier instead of the phone: The 3G data connection often hangs as well, with the need to reboot the phone to solve it. Wifi is perfect, but the 3G data connection simply just hangs randomly and no data will be moving even though the icon is there.

Carrier problem or ROM problem?

I'm using VanillaEclair 4.0 NAS @ 691/176

Thanks for your upcoming help... this has been a great ROM compared to the default HTC one. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beerw0lf:

I notice I have this problem too. But only after I've used Wi-fi.

I use apndroid to keep 3g off when not in use. If I keep it off while using wi-fi, then I won't be able to use 3g. (After turning wi-fi off, of course)

For me, it works if I turn on wi-fi and enable 3g connection, connect to a wi-fi access point, and then turn off wi-fi while 3g is enabled. If I do this, then 3g works.
