I have also done the same, Music.apk is nice! I would also recommend Gallery.apk (2d version) as it has swipe to change photo and pinch to zoom.

I've tried that on few other ROM's (not this one) and it didn't work :( Any luck with this??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Using it now. Follow the howto i posted. It will work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Great ROM! One thing I noticed though, I get random phone restarts a couple of times, even more so when it was in 3.3. So far about 3 restarts on 4.0, with one happening when the phone was idle on my table.

Anyway to check what's causing it? Some app or something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qpop:
Are there any specific circumstances causing? I've only had random reboots when messing with /system/app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gatsu_1981:
That's an entire different question.

That one should be a language non-supported even for the DroidSans default font.

The problem before was that if you missed a gliph with the choosen font, the DroidSans Fallback wasn't working, so you got a lot of squares.

Now the fallback is working as it should, I think that for seeing the chars above korean you should need a special font.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Hmm usually when I'm texting. Use handcent btw.

Either that or when I'm browsing Google maps. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

Is there a sort of memory dump I can post for you guys? haha.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Well, said. I sync everything by hand, turn all the connections off when not using them and my phone disconnected from charger on Thursday at 18.00 still has 35% juice in it now - 15.20, Sunday afternoon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Ah. I however like it automated with a profiler. Apps like newsrob are done manually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Whichever the way, I think that we both agree that when handled properly Hero can easily work of the battery for longer than 48hrs and I see no reason why a mobile should need to run much longer than that anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
:(...

Just flashed VanillaEclair 4.0 after a full (system+dalvik+ext+battery+rotation) wipe. Was very happy with the speed & response, appears to be working perfectly, but...

Despite the fact that the browser(s) and facebook-sync are working, the google sync doesn't, the 'add account procedure' never makes it past the "Signing in" fase.

Anybody else this problem and found a solution? A quick browse through a lot of threads didn't get me there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Have you restarted your phone? Some people report that issues to dissapeat after restart.

Issue with News & Weather program/widget

News & weather appers to crash every time I try to use it. I couldn't find anything with search, so I suppose, that it should work.

The full name of app is: com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget

After boot it shows weather and new just right, but after I click to full program, it crashes.

Also I noticed, that Gallery3D app is missing, is there way to get that?

Folders "dying"

I am now using Rev 4 since it has been released (must be 9 days now) and little problems here and there don't bug me too much because the battery time is just sensational (last charged 3 days ago, moderate usage, 37% still left today).

One thing that I keep getting though: I am used to create folders like "Internet", "Music" etc where I usually group 5-6 App icons. It keeps on happening to me that those folders won't open anymore after a random period of time. Meaning, I can click on then, they're highlighted, but nothing happens. I tried to power cycle the phone and reboot to no avail. Once "dead" the folder will never open again. So I have to create a new folder and usually after 2 - 3 days the same happens this folder again so I keep on grouping my Apps in suicidal folders.

Very odd bug. Of course I have no idea if this is related to Vanilla Eclair at all. Just reporting it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
Original post:

Rebooting didn't work unforunately, same error about 'not having a connection'... Pity, the benchmarks and response are so nice...

Ah well, time to give ChocolateEclair a spin then...

// Edit: 90 minutes later:

So, flashed chocolate eclair, wasn't happy with initial response of the rom, so again did all the wipes and flashed VanillaEclair again and...

It worked this time, whoo!

So finally my first Vanilla install on my Hero (after modaco 3.2, sensehero 2.1 or so and villainrom 10.3). Hope it will be nice for me :-).

A bit off-topic perhaps, but I was wondering:

- With sense builds, when you push the power button for a while, the Phone Options pop up, including an option to Switch Network Off. This lacks in the vanilla install, so is there any way I can add this to the menu again?

- And I've noticed that only one calender of my 3 gmail accounts can be synced; is that how it's supposed to be? I've cross linked all agenda's though, so it's no biggie :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Search this thread for it. Heyodee was helpful enough to post it earlier on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
If by network you mean mobile network, you'll need an additional app for turning it on/off.

Search the market for "apn" for apps and widgets, APNdroid is quite popular.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Few days. And I belive that he's not back till the end of the months though I may be wrong, so correct me if you know better.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
I know how you feel, you feel the need to "Flash". Radu deserves his well earned break, I think he said 5th July or something. Think of it another way, once he has his exams out of the way and rested, he'll be able to dedicate, if he feels, more time to these projects VanillaEclair, ChocolateEclair and FroyoEclair (OK made that last one up but a man can dream :D)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
i flashed the "signapore radio" yesterday and after that my phone reboots everytime (once) i turn it on... Not a big problem but i was just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Actually I think he did said that he is going to get his hands into Froyo when he comes back as there's not much left to do in earlier to projects, just bits and pieces here and there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
Following the naming theme it'd be VanillaFroyo ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
LOL! Yeah... But I don't think that there's any other than Vanilla kind of Froyo anyway. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
@Lakikaki thanks for your suggestion about APNDroid. Not 100% what I wanted, but it does the job perfectly.

So ehhm, I have 2 more questions :-).

1. Is there any way to get ADB control over A2SD? I forgot to check the setting while installing a bunch of programs :-/... I know I can put them to SD one at a time, but with the 'standard' a2sd version this could be controlled with a single command [/system/bin/a2sd ****]! Also things like zipaligning, controlling whether cache should be placed on the SD, etc -> can they still be controlled, and how?

2. So one was my most important question, but... I don't like the vanilla dialer app and absolutely hate the vanilla contact app. Is there any decent substitute for the HTC apps, or is there a workaround to install the HTC apps?

I currently use "AddressBook" for contacts, but the facebook integration is slow and incomplete, and the whole app feels slow. As a dialer I am using Dialer One, which is actually quite okay, just a bit slower than the HTC dialer in my experience.

And ehhh, besides the nagging, I am a very happy user of VanillaEclair :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterpfa:
Watch this space for FroyoEclair :cool:

I thought of that and in truth it is correct, but I like the sound of FroyoEclair :D:D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lakikaki:
It might be a bit premature to talk about the 2.2 release's name but what about Froyilla? VanillaFroyo sounds too long :)

Gallery strange behavior

Hi @all !

I've got an issue with the 2D gallery of VE4: when I open it, it shows a folder name "Videos" which contains all stuff in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera... Contains both pictures and videos, but normally should contains only vids no ?

Anyone had this issue ?

Thanks,

Seb
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zOOOOmer:
Hi all.

Has anyone tried to flash Blackmod theme on VanillaEclair4?

I know that this is supposed to be for CDMA Hero, but Xenoside is claiming that this theme is working with his EZ-Hero ROM.

Afaik, both VE4 and EZ-Hero are built on Cyanogen sources, so...

PS Sorry for not providing direct-links - forum antispam doesn`t let me to. Search "Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps" sub-forum for the thread "[THEME] BlackMod v1.2 For EzHero" with screens and link.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hund:
How can I lower the camera volume? It feels like the speaker will burst if I take any more photos.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Use this gallery. Huh, on a second thought, i don't think it matters, you just have picture content in /sdcard/Videos

"All Videos" from gallery will show all videos
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
use quick settings from market or audio manager

Hi !

Thanks for your answer. I've no "/sdcard/videos" folder. WHen I take pictures or videos with camera, all the stuff go in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. Then, in gallery app, I have:

-> a folder named "videos of the camcorder" which contains only videos taken with my Hero

-> a folder a folder named "photos of the camera" which contains only photos taken with the Hero

-> a folder named "all the pictures" which mix all the pictures (no videos)

-> and a folder named "videos" which mix pictures and videos taken from the Hero. It is folder which is bugging me :)

Sorry if the names of the folders are not exact, I've translated them from French :) !

This may be a stupid question, but how come the extremekernal is only ~5mb? Is it one you would just install over an existing full version? I currently have VanillaEclair 4.0 so can I just install the extremekernal without wiping?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Yes, that's just a kernel replacement that you flash over your current installation.

Hi everyone, i have tried now so many vanilla roms and every rom gives me the same issue, currently i am running vanillaeclair. this does not happen with sense roms. when syncing my addressbook with my cars audio, the plus sign in front of the numbers is stripped down, phone numbers with format: +49... are changed to 49... and so dialing does not work :-(

Has anyone an idea how to fix this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
I don`t know about you but for me the last time I had a +sign in front of my numbers was when I had a Radio ROM not for North America where I am!

I'm pretty sure someone will find a solution for you!

Wow, you were right with the radio. After updating radio everything is working great :-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
most probably proxy related
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] developing:
You can't flash CyanogenMod for Hero (Elemag's ROM, yes?) over this without wiping; though VanillaEclair is based on CyanogenMod 5.0.7, it doesn't mean you can "update" VanillaEclair to CyanogenMod 5.0.8 by flashing someone else's ROM over it. If you want CM 5.0.8, run CfH or EzHero until RaduG updates VanillaEclair.

Hi there, I flashed the VE 4.0. Thank you for your efforts and tweaks.

everything goes fine till now and I just want to know how to use the 'spare parts' app? I try several options in the it and found nothing work after changes. for expmple the battery percentage, clock, in General Options. I tried many times and found the battery percentage shows when reboots, but the color (percentage color, clock color etc.) didnt change.

So is it a bug problem or the only way to apply changes is reboot?? really waste time settings.

BTW, I'm using launchpro0.6.4.

may thanks.

Spareparts actually states that it wont change until rebooted with those settings...

Hi! Wonderful ROM till so far, very fast and smooth, FC's are very, very rare! Only 1 thing is bugging me immensely:

I would like to use either native USB tethering or otherwise the Wired Tether app on my (Windows 7 x64) laptop. I have searched and tried for hours with re-installing drivers, rebooting, but unfortunately no success. Is there anyone on VanillaEclair that got wired tethering working?

(PDAnet, EasyTether and Wireless Tether work ok though)

Slow response -> About music control on lockscreen: I also use the 3(cube)-player, but there are other options. Free option(s): Combine Tunewiki player with Flyscreen. Flyscreen also supports 2 standard widgets, so you can place a standard widget and you're done. Problem: actually only looks good with 4x3 widget :-).

Paid alternatives: Btunes has lockscreen-control, and there are quite a few lockscreen+widget apps around.

plz tell coz m feeling a lil scared while doin so...ny more...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
You are lucky. When flashing radio, it always gives you that screen with the box and the arrow. You have to wait for it to finish , because it's writing image. Messing around during that process can brick your phone ( I know, I did it)

Flashing any ROM such as this one will be fine, and won't give you that picture.

Does somene has a problem with brightness? Sometimes when I turn on the screen the brightness is very high, although i've set it to very low level. It also happens on the auto brightness. When I turn off the screen and turn on again it usually helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] appel_:
I have this if the cpu frequency is too low. On my Hero I had to use the freekernel and SetCPU to set screen off freq: 122-352 and screen on freq: 352-614 to solve this. The important part is that the screen on freq must never get below 352. I don't know if this applies to your Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Yuras86:
Ok, thx. I'll check that:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Big-Kahuna:
I have to post a warning for users running the default (or higher overclocked) kernel:

Yesterday I used Google Navigation for the first time and I noticed, that my phone got extremely hot after quite a short time. When I reached my destination after round about 25 minutes, Spare Parts showed me more than 52°C accumulator-temperature and accumulator-status: overheating.

I have to say, that this is extremely unhealthy for accumulator-lifetime. In fact everything above 40°C is not good for lithium ion accumulators.

I also think, that it could be very dangerous if you use the phone for navigation for a longer period of time. The phone may heat up further and that could easily cause a fire or even an explosion of the accumulator! Especially if the phone is charged at the same time (for example when placed in a car holder with charger), or if you are using a cheap accumulator replacement.

After that I made some further tests and I found out, that the phone shows the same overheating when I was browsing the web for almost an hour.

I assume that this is caused by the CPU running at 691 MHz, it heats up the whole phone and the accumulator. So maybe overclocking to this speed is to much for some or all of our heros, at least if you use it for a longer period of time at full speed.

I strongly recommend all users to check this and flash lokernel if you have the same issues. And I would like to give a little advise to RaduG: Please think about setting the default kernel to lower clocks and instead you could offer a "hikernel" for users, that are aware of the risk or have phones, that don't have this issue. I guess you wouldn't be happy if somebody damages his phone because of using the default kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Big-Kahuna:
I just wanted to say, that I have exactly the same problem since VE4.0. Also tried everything, reflash ROM, reflash different kernels, recalibrating battery, deleting all apps - nothing helped. This was way better for me in the early releases of 3.3. For the moment I just live with it and wait for RaduG to come back and hopefully fix this.
