Ah, great. Thanks for clearing that up. So there's a bunch of changelogs to read through. If anyone knows which ones specifically, a list would be nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nx6:
Oh wait, don't tell me... all the ones at http://github.com/CyanogenMod (except device-specific other than Hero) right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
My believe is that:

android_device_hero provides Hero's specific hardware support (including the kernel)

koush's proprietary_vendor_htc provides proprietary libraries for hardware support

android_vendor_cyanogen provides device specific applications

Commits into most of the others, except for the one which are obviously device specific, provides patches and features that are embedded in the Hero's nightlies.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gawis:
Well, the 129 seemss to be running fine

at this point no issues with bluetooth

hope it stays this way :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Miister-Ot:
does the newest nightly contain any of the new MIUI stuff?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nx6:
With nightly 130, the email application crashes whenever I try to add an IMAP account. :( Anyone else?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kieranc:
It has power control stuff in the notification pulldown... #129
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petter11:
:confused:

I am running 130 of the nightly build and its nice. But on the Quadrant Standard test I get scores of ~200, before on FroydVillain 1.5 I was getting ~390! :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Superboy58:
Did you activate JIT in CyanogenMod menu ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peelsky:
Duh, yesterday I've flashed the 130 and it's 132 now. Has anyone flashed it yet?

I'm wondering if the no-trackball flashing bug is fixed in the new release?

Don't want to wipe everything again and check for myself ;]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petter11:
I get the same scores with it on or off! (of course rebooting in between)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] igor.tonky:
you don't need to wipe all. i'm wiping cache and dalvik between nightlies, and they work just fine. so just go ahead and flash it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Yeah exactly what i do if it's no good i restore the last good nightly

If it's ok then none of that reinstalling apps crap then after a few days trial i back that up as a good working system
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gary20m:
Market

Hmm...market seems to be missing on build 134 ? Or is it just me...I tried pushing multiple vending.apk..no luck..all of them gives me a white screen for a second then jumps back to home screen..:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
You need to flash CM6 gapps package.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,as far as I know without gapps package,market wont work!

But at the moment,gapps package removed from here:

http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?type=gapps

You can try from here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/128-google-addon-mdpi-20101020/

Or my latest gapps,which I donwloaded (one week old)

http://www.multiupload.com/EOJ8I29OBE
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Is there anything not working on build 134?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nageshmodhvadia@gmail.com:
Mine seems all ok so far.

Flash 134 then flash Gapps.

It's all gravy!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
where can you get change log ect from
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nx6:
http://github.com/CyanogenMod
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gary20m:
Thanks for the telling me about the gapps ><, so i wiped and reflashed 134 and then gapps, but now I'm stuck at welcome screen, touch android to begin, nothing happens when touched!

EDIT : Had to full wipe to fix it!

EDIT : Hmm..trying to get HTC IME MOD kb to work...keeps FC on me...tips anyone? Had no problem with it on Floyo 1.01. Which to use? Lo-res or Hi-Res?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
That's good to hear. I'm selling my Hero to a friend in 15 days and will be flashing CM6 for her. Obviously, don't want something not fully working.

One more dummy phone user converted straight to CM6! Bwahaha!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leesah:
I flashed the CM6-10252010 and it wouldn't let me bind my Google account.

I know about the gapp package. But I checked /system/app/ and saw the GoogleServiceFramework, GoogleContactSyncAdapter, etc. are all there.

What else do I need to sync my Google account then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
nothing. you flash the rom, you flash the gapps package, you boot up and add a google account. obviously you have to setup your apn first and/or wifi... like with any rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Nice nightly!

Just my 2cents. I never tried the nightlies, thinking it should be to unstable. What an error!

I just flashed the 138, in combination with the Flykernel 11 and Zeam Launcher. And my Hero is quick, smooth, precise, stable. Happy me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kieranc:
I'm with you there... very similar setup, 730MHz. Really don't know what phone to upgrade to, the Hero's doing great! Tempted to stick with it for a while longer....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Latoc:
The nightlies have been kicking ass for a while now...

I have stopped looking elsewhere. Everything works perfectly.

No bugs. Smooth. Stable. 100 % Froyo for the Hero !!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krispijn_s:
Very true, I'm only using plain CM too.. But it's not entirely bug free: my hero still has issues with the gps fix with the default libraries, but that's quickly fixed with the libs from Froyd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
can you please send it to me?(PM or link in this forum?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Latoc:
I have no problems with the gps fix, but that is maybe because I live in the caribeans islands, they are closer to the US than Europe, and the gps config in the rom is for the US.

Try just using the vanilla nightly AND flashing the config file from Floyo (if you live in europe, else I don't know what is causing you trouble).

I think it would be "cleaner" and easier to do this than replacing libraries every time you flash a new rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krispijn_s:
Could be, though getting a fix isn't the biggest issue: it's keeping the fix (for example in Sygic, the speed often jumps to 467 km/h and I know my car can't do that). I'll try your suggestion though and use the euro-gps config on my new nightly.. who knows.. might help.

@incomer: I've included my update zip with this post, which seems to do the trick (libs taken from Team Villain's Froyd ROM)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
RC1 for HERO....

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/category/22-htc-hero-gsm/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Nice... Official RC! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] umbrella42:
I have been suffering from the same problem, and I had to change the libs too.

You can check this in "GPS Status": GPS Status is displaying the time of "last fix". This should be updated roughly every second. Without exchanging of GPS libraries I've been getting fixes only every 10-30 seconds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leesah:
Thank you for helping.

But the problem is that I don't want all of the apks from gapps package.

According to my previous experiences, the only thing I need is GoogleServicesFramework.apk, which I am sure is in /system/app/ now.

Why does it not allow me? Which exactly apk do I need to push into my phone?

PS, this is to show you that I have that GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

$ adb shell ls /system/app/Google*
/system/app/GoogleBackupTransport.apk
/system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leesah:
Found one solution. Not perfect, but works.

I replaced /system/app/SetupWizard.apk with the file from gapps pack. A wizard showed up after rebooting and then I am able to add my Google account.

I still wonder why I could not just add it in Account Settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Does someone know that there is still development ongoing on this since the RC is out. are then any changes in the rom?

Thanks for the info if you got any :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZED_pt:
In half the time you used to post this,you could click on the link in first post and see for yourself...i guess.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MiniDolan:
Woop! Overscrolling :D been waiting for this for ages. Always thought google would do it before other developers like :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aroaros:
What? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MiniDolan:
I'm the latest nightly (158 I believe) there's a setting in Cyanogen settings for overscrolling, meaning when you're in a scrollable list and you get to the bottom, it kind of bounces back. Its hard to explain :P but it looks cool.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
When a new nightly is released, every night automatically that doesn't mean something is new in it. To give an answer to a normal question like that, is just dull.

10th nightlies can be the same before a change is put trough. Maybe even a 100.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aroaros:
Ahh! Thanks for the explanation, it sounds interesting.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] se87tet:
hungarian language in hero

Hy all!Can anybody port a hungarian language for cyanogen mod???

There is in the Gratia 2.2 rom, but it isn't work yet.

Sorry my english :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Have you tried more locale?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
nice to meet you nightly. I'm the latest dkelley. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
and before others say "yea but the checksum is different", the checksum will be different for every build even if the rom is exactly the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Awesome, didn't even see that one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I never check those so didn't thought of it.

Running the 161 now. And I like it. No complaints or bugs at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ulyan:
These are pre or post RC1 release ? Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] se87tet:
Hungaria language

Yes, i tried but it's not worked in my language well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well I don't know how to add a language, maybe erasmux or elelinuxes roms maybe have it. But i doubt it.

Post release, cuss there are more new features in it, and the one that i found is overscrolling, wich is pretty cool :D. Just a nice visual effect :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
same here - put on 161 last night, it's very very very very nice :-)

one thing that's odd to me though - titanium backup does it's backups/restores WAY slower on these cm6 roms than it does on HWMNBN's froyo rom or a couple of other well known froyo roms.

Is this common knowledge? like the cm6 roms simply have a slower apps2sd setup or something like that?

IF so then is there a known fix (like flashing dark what'shisname's latest apps2sd thing over top of this or whatever?? LoL)

this is a really cool rom - everything works. had a strange thign wtih gps this (no data found???) then I disabled wifi while driving and started maps again and this time is was fine other than the "you should enable wifi" prompt of course (which makes no sense to me - how can wifi being enabled help location at all? but that's a question for another thread :-)

So yea, I'm really happy with this so far. but titanium backup running an order of magnitude slower in this rom is sort of bizarre, and inconvenient, though definitely not a showstopper.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
+1 ..........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
In the floyo topic is a file, a2sd for native cm6. Give that a try. Don't use a2sd got a crappy sdcard and without it my phone is faster.

The whatever his nick a2sd is bloated and the one in the floyo topic just does what it says. Not my words so don't flame me if it doesn't work.

On a side note. This Rom does not has the a2sd support out of the box. That's why its slow
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh! right, I forgot that this rom has no a2sd out of the box.

but... sorry if this is dumb, but why on earth is it slow WITHOUT a2sd then? should be blindingly fast, right? does tit backup really not run well without a2sd? for my phone I typically prefer no a2sd also when I'm using the slow stock sd card (like I am right now). Shouldn't tit backup etc be really fast?

I have a lot of experience with this stuff but must be having a dumb day. sorry for the inane questions.

cheers

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
You are right there. Got no idea why its slow for you. Personally I don't use TB to huge an app for me.

I noticed a few roms back that installing from the market is darn slow. Then tried VR12 and it was like super fast.

Maybe look further up the line?

I don't know. Not an Android guru :p

There is 1 main reason for me not going back to a sense Rom. And that is because I cannot use the Bluetooth tether function in wireless tether for root users.

That's the main thing. If someone has a cure for that. I would be so happy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dvfk:
It's just that build (I had the same problem). Try the newest one - Titanium is "fast" again there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
not true. in a couple of other roms, HWMNBN's froyo 1.5.1 for example, tit backup (same version, 3.5.5 in this case if memory serves) is super fast.

but that being said, I'll try updating my tit backup and see. I hate updating it - seems like every other build has issues, so I stick with versions tha tI find work properly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey, 165 is .3mb bigger. I wonder what changed? I'm downloading it now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Well seen. I'll try it too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iRobert:
i flashed it today (165), dont know what changed from 161 or since rc1.

rom is pretty stable and i basicly love it :-P neocore goes with 31,5 and thats the highest my hero ever scored. the newest angry birds laggs a lot, but that could be because of the update.

i´ll test this week and flash again next weekend lol :-)

cyall folks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
The only difference I see is that some recent features (for exemple overscrolling) are now translated, at least in french. Those features where presented in english with the last nighlty I flashed (159, if I remember right).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
sorry but what is this overscrolling?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
It's a new feature that produce when enabled a sort of "elastic" effect to every scrollable list. When you reach the end of the list, it will not just brutally stop, but make this elastic visual effect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MiniDolan:
Much better explanation than mine :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
ohh ok thanks, is it something that can be toggled in the settings or is it enabled by default?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Hope CM6 RC2 will be released to public soon.

Running a nightly build and it is and stays very fast&snappy in daily use.

Any changelog of nightlies anywhere?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] perdita2000:
MMS are not working for me even on build 165...

Perdita2000
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
You can enable it under the CM settings. It comes disable by default.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hmmm.... anyone have a solution for this MMS thing? I still haven't dabbled in MMS...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange... Someone was having issues on my new build with MMS, but equally someone else said it worked flawlessly...

Perhaps it's time to see which networks have issues...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
good suggestion. who's up for an MMS-off?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abiectio:
Regarding MMS

I had trouble with both recieving and sending MMS. Fixed this by turning on mobile data before doing anything MMS related. Try and see if that works. :)

Was on build 163, upgrading to 170 now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Slugbug:
I haven't really had any MMS problems either. But just as abiectio, I have to enable mobile data for it to work.

Would be very nice if it was possible for it to enable itself and then turn back off again somehow when sending or receiving an MMS...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
so I have deduced that I can only view youtube video (using the latest youtube app) over data connection. over wifi it hangs when it would normally be about to render the first frame of video.

how many others have found this to be true? and not just the latest nightly but all recent nightlies with the latest youtube app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
I'm running the latest youtube app on RC1 and videos play just fine when connected to wifi...

Does this happen only when playing youtube vids over wifi?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
for me and some others, yes. but maybe rc1 doesn't ahve this problem? the more recent nightlies I've used do have this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, for a test I wiped fully and went with RC1. same problem... youtube works over data, hangs before rendering first frame of video over wifi.

so it's not working in RC1 either for me. which is odd - by the way, as my post count shows, I've been doing this for a while LoL. So this is a relatively new phenomenon for me and one that I've read of other people experiencing with the youtube app as well.

FRUSTRATING! especially when I only get 500mb/month of data. it's fine for everything but not enough for streaming much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaffry:
That's weird, man. I'm on RC1 and youtube works fine on data and over wifi.

[Does youtube work for you on a computer over the same wifi? Maybe your ISP/connectivity source is throttling youtube video. I know I sound like a paranoid conspiracy theorist nutcase, but you never know… :cool: ]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Installed Nightly 176 today, works nice, updated AWDLauncher is nice.

There's one problem mentioned also by others

- YouTube crashes when trying to play video

Same, but here it crashes on WiFi and Data

The Whole phone is slower to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] g0at:
Have used AmonRa's recovery since I've had a hero, I've bitten the bullet and have stared using ROM Manger's clockwork recovery. I notice that you can get Rom manager to check for ROM updates; however it doesn't seem to check for the hero nighties.

How do I configure this? I've purchased the premium license for it already, on the premise that it does what I'm trying to achieve above.

many thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Installed Nightly 178 on my HTC Hero.

Working faster then previous nightly.

But still slower then Nightly 35 for my HTC WildFire.

The advantage is that on my Hero the camera is working properly, while it crashes on the WildFire :)

So far no problems with it, for what i use it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
isn't the wildfire a faster phone? could be the cause of it running faster than hero nightly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea, good theory, but it's not my particular wifi. also it's not unique to me. I've had no issues for past half a year on either home or office wifi connections with youtube. Recent weeks have seen this issue arise.

I have worked out one thing - using an alternative free youtube viewer app from the market which lets me choose the quality/format to stream for each video, 3gp or whtaever it's called works fine, mp4 breaks. maybe the youtube app uses mp4 when it senses wifi and uses 3gp when it sense data connection? or maybe it bases it's decision on the speed it reads for whatever connection that is available?

that would explain why there is such inconsistency among hero users over the past few weeks with regard to the youtube app. if the app is choosing mp4 streams in some connection speed dependent situations, that could be why we're all getting different results.

FWIW I haven't been able to decode mp4 in almost every rom on the hero. I'm sure there have been one or two that could do it, but most roms including all recent roms I've tried haven't supported mp4, or have hung upon trying to playback mp4 video.

How's that for taking some guesswork and creating a viable hypothesis?

:-) So that's my current theory. And if it's true then just download a youtube app from the market that lets you choose which connection type to view - then you can safely ignore mp4 video. OR find a rom that decodes MP4 ok for the hero. Like I said, I know one used to exist... but for some reason all of the cm6 roms I've been trying don't support mp4.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iRobert:
Different CPUs, both run at 528 and the Wildfire has 96 MB more RAM.

Think i´ll try tomorrows nightly :-)

BB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] srkmagnus:
I believe the ROM Developer needs to support ROM Manager in order for it to be updated. If the Heroc nightlies are not supported then they will not show up in the manager. Bookmarking the TeamDouche page is probably your best bet to get the new nightlies.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ah... I knew it had superior hardware in some manner. memory would be nice... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
According to "Android System Info" App

HTC Hero:

- ARMv6 compatible CPU Rev2 V6L

- 165MB internal memory (could be a bit more)

- 190MB Ram (could be a bit more)

- 320x480, 160dpi

HTC WildFire

- ARMv6 compatible CPU Rev2 V6L

- 175MB internal memory (could be a bit more)

- 313MB RAM (could be a bit more)

- 240x320, 120dpi
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
There's a newer Youtube-app in the Market, maybe this solves the problems reporting some users.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
if it's the update that's been out for a couple of weeks then no, I still get issues.

fwiw, I'm using an alternative froyo rom right now and flashed flykernel 11c for CM roms over top of it and I'm getting youtube app official working great except HD doesn't show video (and HD is default all the time for some reason). but it doesn't crash, just plays audio only. so I click off hd each time and voila, youtube works.

So there are some roms that don't break as badly as the cm6 official build does when using the official youtube app.... at least for me.

I wonder why?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
That's exactly what i also get on the latest CM6 Nightly on my HTC WildFire

On the HTC Hero site, it still crashes on the loading screen with CM6 Nightly
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
well this is fun isn't it? ;-)

at least I finally caught up to where you're phone is getting you :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
héhé

Yeah it's fun :p

I just like to always test the new stuff :) on both my HTC's :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
180 runs fine on my HTC Hero,

Just one thing i noticed, the gestures on the lock screen, when adding a gesture that directly pops up a contact, it crashes and adw launcher restarts. Gestures to pop up apps do work fine, just a person out of your contact list, then it happens

(Nightly's for my HTC WildFire have the same problem with gestures that will link to a person from the contact list)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iRobert:
OK, then we´ll wait for tomorrows ;-) do you try every one :-D?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Yeah i install every nightly that comes out for the HTC Hero and the HTC WildFire :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iRobert:
cool :-D i need to flash mine, too ... got 165 and it´s sooo slow again ... oh well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alioooop:
180 works great for me :D no problems with gestures and even less lag :D
