Hey Elemag, I've been using AOSP Roms alot lately and had a question about AOSP vs Sense roms that I asked i nthe general thread but nobody can seem to come up with an answer...seeing as you are a smart guy maybe you can shed some light on this for me.

I agree. I wrote a PM to xenoside about this subject, but no answers for now. In his ROM Facebook sync was working.

A quick and dirty kernel from the official sources:

@576 MHz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Is this like the default kernel? I'll flash and test it.

Also, I experienced less than stellar battery life last cycle. I went to sleep with 18% and my phone had shut down when I woke up 9 hours later.

I'll probably install Autokiller to kill those applications that won't let the phone sleep, or have you already configure minfree-manager?

EDIT: Other than getting a "Process Android System is not responding" everything seems to work fine, can't really notice anything different.

Here's something in the logcat:

W/ResourceType( 131): Resources don't contain package for resource number 0x7f050000

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] david.f.girault:
Wipe required to upgrade?

Does the Wipe of everything is required if coming from CMH_1.1?

Wan't to upgrade but don't have time to restaure all my apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rakig:
Use Titanium backup to backup/restore your apps :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
I updated without a wipe just fine. But you might get different results. Do a nandroid+ext backup and try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] david.f.girault:
Well, it's not the answer of my question, but I think I will not get a better answer.

Anyway, is it possible to have incremental update for 1.2 version (like the kernel) for the future one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Do a BART backup. The nandroid backs up /system/sd dir which is empty and when you restore it you will end up with all the files you used to have at /sd-ext gone for good.

And here it is a kernel, compiled from the official sources @691 MHz. I run it currently but can't notice some difference...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] david.f.girault:
I will try your way. Nandroid backup is far more easy than Titanium backup/restore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] david.f.girault:
Thank for this advice. I'll try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rakig:
from what I recall, nandroid and bart backups backup to a full image, and don't let you restore just applications and settings.

Doing a full wipe when putting a new rom on, is in my opinion, always a good idea. I find it cuts down on a lot of problems and weird hard-to-diagnose glitches.

So, to fully answer your question, you could try to do a flash over to keep your apps. If that doesn't work or isn't stable, then you will have to do a full wipe to get everything back.

If you want to just start with the clean process, titanium backup your apps and settings, do a full wipe, then flash the new rom and restore. It takes a bit of extra work but it should help things run smoother overall.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
nandroid and bart are only useful for returning to a previously flashed rom. if you use apps2sd, then bart is the recommended (for me, the only reliable) way to backup and restore a rom with it's apps. nandroid alone won't backup and restore apps2sd content by default.

but when flashing a new rom, you need to use titanium backup and restore, it's a new rom - basically a new phone. you need to reinstall your apps.

NOTE: froyo will try to automagically download and install your apps for you when you flash it if you came from 2.1, at least it did in my case. It worked great for me, although no paid for apps were installed (which is fine by me, I'll re-get those myself to make sure I don't incure charges for wrong apps being downloaded).

But the froyo restore ALSO means that you'll get a hell of a lot of data transfer over the first couple of hours after flashing the rom, so make sure you setup wifi right away or keep your phone turned off until you're in a wifi area and set it up then. in my case I could have gotten 150mb of data lost out of my monthly 500mb in the space of 2 hours if I hadn't had wifi running.

That's all the helpful advice I can throw at this thread!

cheers :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Is this different from the Test kernel you released earlier?

With it, if I let my device sleep for a long time, an hour or so, I couldn't wake up the screen without a reboot or plugging in the USB cable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Yes, it is different. It is fully working, but I don't see any difference in performance from the non-official one.

Anyway, with it your device should not appear as CDMA Hero anymore, as david.f.girault noted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
With this new kernel I don't have any waking issues! :)

A problem with wifi appeared, though. It says "Unable to stop wifi".

I'll get you a lolcat soon.

EDIT: This is from Logcat

D/WifiHW ( 121): Unable to unload driver module "wlan": Device or resource busy
E/WifiService( 121): Failed to unload Wi-Fi driver.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Hmm, clean up your /system/lib/modules dir and reflash if you flashed the version from yesterday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Still says it, although now wifi does stop.

I'll do a full wipe tomorrow.

EDIT: I did a full wipe, flashed CMH1.2 and the new kernel. Whenever I disable wifi, it goes off, but in the Wifi settings under the Wi-Fi field it says "unable to stop wifi". Is this just a display bug, as the checkmark is off?

V/WifiMonitor( 142): Event [CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 15 received]

Loving this ROM coming from ezHero v5. The true CyanogenMod 5.0.8 rom!

A few questions.. which kernel would be recommended. I can run the Lucky Hero kernel @ 768 with no problems and also

dsf 691
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rakig:
When I run the CMH updater and click "Check Now", it gives me a "New Updates Found" notification but the updater still says "No Roms Found".

Display Exp: true

Display All: true
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Flash 768 if you want most speed, 691 if you're satisfied with less (you will most probably notice the difference only in benchmark results) and keep the default kernel if you want most battery life. As I said, you will hardly notice any difference unless you want to do some benchmarks. I ran a kernel at 384 MHz for almost 8 hours (with LauncherPro though) and it also seemed good enough at responsibility :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nysos:
Really liking this ROM!

Is there a way to take pictures without the date stamp on them? I tried 3 different camera apps from the market to get around this but they all force close with this rom..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Any news on the kernel based on official sources?

The second test doesn't turn off wifi either, and I lost all my battery in 9 hours because of it. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Just use one of the unofficial. There ain't any difference... except that I've obviously packed a non-matching wifi module :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] david.f.girault:
FYI, I upgrade to CMH 1.2 this morning from version 1.1. I use the bfs kernel at 691Mhz.

After a full backup with Titanium AND Gart (in recovery), I flashed the CMH_1.2 and the BFS kernel them I reboot.

I did not Wipe.

All is working without any problem. The first boot take some time, but no error.

Thanks a lot,

David

Thanks for this excellent ROM. After 3 days use I don't think I will be going back to sense UI. But there are two things I miss. T9 style dialer and syncing of facebook profile pictures with contacts. Is there a way to add these functionality, using some apps perhaps?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
An OTA update for Facebook sync is now available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Flash one of the kernels in the first post. If you used a kernel from the attachments, wifi will get some issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
Most likely this will be the last update for now. It is more a test for the OTA updater than really some fix cause the facebook sync is ridiculous. My ultimate goal is accomplished, thanks to the other devs around -- official support from Cyanogen. And this 5.x version is working well so far, so I don't see any point of future updates. Maybe I will recompile some kernels, but guess nothing more.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thank you very much for this update! :)

Now using the stable ROM, but closely following the CM6 progress.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Well, this rom is great as it is, so thanks for everything, man!! :D

Buuuuuuuuut, there is still the slight annoyance of the timestamp in the photos... :rolleyes: So, if you find yourself wanting to delve in this rom just a little bit more, you you take a look...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Great work in that regard Elemag. Do you have any idea if wired tether would be possible to fix in order to avoid echoing commands through terminal..?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] codnik:
I 2nd that! And there's the zooming on picture issue. When zooming on pictures taken with the phone's camera, the picture doesn't clear, it looks all fuzzy. Also, pinching zooms far beyond 100%, which just isn't useful. Clearing is fine for pictures downloaded from Picasa. I mean, when you load your Picasa albums in gallery, and zoom on pictures, it clears right away.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garethwwain:
Great rom, but the Facebook sync is not quite perfect yet. It only links to my wall no matter which contact I choose. Also pictures are not synced yet, but I have known it to sometimes take a bit of time so we will see. I hope you can get this fixed, then it will be perfect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Hey, I found the UI sort of unresponsive at times, in a weird kind of elastic way LoL. this is a nice rom, the camera seemed pretty great with it. but the notification bar doesn't grab without a slight hesitation from my finger before pulling it down (not as bad as version 4 was, but still a vaguely similar problem), and swiping home screens in launcherpro takes a bit of a pause from my finger to grab fully also many times.

any thoughts on this? should I flash a different kernel? something like that? it was a full wipe and I'm not a newbie so doubt there were obvious mistakes done. but maybe there's a known fix for this issue you guys could tell me about? I searched but found nothing.

Currently back to VR12 (ewe, sense is really irritating after using froyo and 2.1 vanilla for a while). VR12 is so solid and so hardware-perfect... I wish we could get that from 2.1 pure vanilla (and I can't wait for froyo to get 100% perfect camera... but until then it's between this and vr12 I think).

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
It is not needed. The kernel is configured to give you a lot of CPU power and decent battery life. However you will not see nice Linpack scores if you don't manually set the frequency at 691 MHz.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] codnik:
I have yet to see a ROM where everything works. I hope at some point devs will quit attacking each other and work together for the common good. The greater good before self pride.

I have suggested a name for a vanilla ROM. BlackFlower. Here's the origin of the name:

"In the fifteenth century, Aztecs invading from the central highlands of Mexico conquered the Totonacs, and soon developed a taste for the vanilla bean. They named the bean "tlilxochitl", or "black flower", after the mature bean, which shrivels and turns black shortly after it is picked. Subjugated by the Aztecs, the Totonacs paid tribute by sending vanilla beans to the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan." From Vanilla Wikipedia article.

Umm, I may have a look at the focus thingie, but it is the last CM5 stock camera app, and I am pretty sure I've included autofocus everywhere. Sound can be removed pretty easily, but I don't consider that a "bug".

Picture zoom in gallery is a problem that seems interesting to me, cause when I push and pull back the very same picture, the zoom works well. Maybe it is some caching thing...
