you can DO that? wow - I never imagined it was such a transparent usb stack in the phone.

cool - might have to try that again :-)

so what works for you after doing that (and no, I don't mean "in theory", I know what is supposed to work (all of the following)... I mean for people here actually trying this with this rom)?

froyo style apps2sd? camera? video recording? games that require sd card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scuttler:
Great rom in general, but has the same problem as CM6 alpha - overall performance in 3d games is greal, but if you touch screen, great lags occur until you release your finger.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
heh, I didnt' notice that. but then I wasn't looking for it. that happened on one of the more famous 2.1 roms not that long ago (ezhero 4 maybe? not sure about that though) and a solution was apparently found.

hopefully teh same will happen here.

good luck dev!

The previews work rarly and the camera will freeze... the fix will more then likely come from CyanogenMod

All, i am at work and am urging to flash this, however all the filesharing sites are blocked! Does anyone have a personal mirror? ie, not on a filesharing site?

Thanks...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ajgago:
I'm testing this out and it is really swift. On my first boot it froze, but after taking out and replacing the battery, it seems to be running quite smoothly. The camera does not seem to work at all though =(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
Thanks for the rom, rbrucemtl.

Issues found:

During initial boot, setup has to be chosen from a popup.

Force close when skipping google account login.

PS. Wireless status isn't mention in OP.

This ROM is working well...

My review after some hours:

Battery Life seems good...

Camera preview not working at all

Auto Brightness works but not quite good enough

To try this afternoon:

GPS, 3G and HSDPA and Facebook sync

Exchange

Is there any way to change the Call button on Launcher to run Dialler One instead of Phone?

And anybody manage how to use HTC keyboard? I've tryed but the keyboard kills every time it opens.

You are in GSM Hero forums so here is only ROMs for GSM Hero. Nobody needs to specify it.

Just to add, Chrome to phone is working well.

Trying it out now.

I can say right now I'm having problems with 3G/EDGE. But that might be my Service Provider (Netcom, Norway). Will come back with more info later tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hobbitjack:
3G is working fine on Vodafone UK. I did have to import my apn's though.

Anybody else have issues with this ROM not reading SD card? I rebooted 4 times, took the card out, put back in, still wouldn't read.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
This ROM should probably be marked as Alpha or Beta and make it clear this is for testing rather than day to day use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DaNiEl FrEnCh:
theres no flash 10.1 in the market and therefore flash doesnt work in the browser

Ahhh much better! Thankyou :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
I don't include Gallery 3D because of its rotate bug and the reload on rotate hack is very buggy too.

Has anyone moved from Cronos 2.0.1 (Android 2.1) to this?

I am running 2.0.1 atm and its a nice rom. I have backed everything up and was about to give this a go.

Do people find this better than Cronos 2.0.1?

Any advice welcomed.

Hung after half a day use

Dear,

I got the fusion Rom logo for 1 hour or so then I decided to change it with my previous ROM.

I full wiped everything except the Ext partition, said error cannot wipe have to do through ADB.

However, it was quite smooth when I first used it, installed a few applications. However, i felt that the touch screen became not so sensitive (maybe just my feeling). Also, lack of HTC sense. Felt very empty :P

After using for half day, I restart a few times (thought that It will become smoother), after that I got hung at the fusion ROM logo, I left it for sometime and went to sleep a few hours, after that still the same and my Hero battery became very hot and even the casing! Luckily it didn't explode :P

Yohny
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pichelheimer:
Thank you for this ROM! It´s so great. Up until now very fast and stable.

Have to see about battery time though.

I´m coming from Froyd 1.1.1 which is a great ROM too, but I had an issue using wifi tethering. As this is must have feature for me I had to switch to another ROM.

And here I am happy as can be.

Again, thanks for the great work!

HELP ME

everything is working fine accept every time i open google maps it force closes, ive tried downloading the brut version also but this produces the same results, im clueless at what to do
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
the two are entirely different. better is a subjecting term but you're comparing a stock-like sense rom with extra features to a rom that isn't supposed to work on our phones (but does really well!) but due to the lack of hard-ware compatible sources there are a few hacks in place to get things like camera, display, google apps, market etc working. and all of those hacks will occasionally break or be less than perfect in how they operate.

Also this is vanilla - so entirely different from cronos 2.1 releases (except for his failed 2.1 aosp release... man those cm5.0.8 sources must need a lot of work to run well on our heros, they seem to have tons of compatibility issues).

I like it better, but there are times when I prefer to go back to cronos droid 2.1.3 (similar to what you are running I think but newer codebase) just so I have a really smooth finished sense experience.

froyo is faster though, and I generally prefer vanilla in real use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbailey:
Dkelly

many thanks for taking the time to answer me there. I fully understand what you are saying.

I suppose the subjectivity of the issue means that only playing with both and deciding for myself will only be the way to get the answer I seek!

;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yup!

and I can vouch for this rom - it's really good and a solid intro to froyo on the hero without controversy heh heh

but if you're a cronos fan, he's testing his final version of the cronos 1.0 froyo release.... so if you wait long enough you will have that option as well.

But this rom, fusion 2.2 6.1.1 is very very cool for what it is and it is just different enough from the rest that it's worth a run I think. some people prefer it over the rest, I can understand that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ToddEDM:
i have the same problem right now, its looping on the Fusion!ROM logo.... how can i fix this?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gurdeep31:

Since switching to this very nice ROM I have not been able to kill some applications. Specifically my podcast catcher (DoggCatcher) will start it's downloads and since it is not on wifi (even though I told it only wifi) I try to kill the task. I have tried two different task managers (Free Advanced Task Manager by Arraon La and Task Manager by Wing Tseng).

Is anybody else having this issue?

It also seems that tasks that are suppose to close at some points (back button, task manager, or launched by app service) do not seem to close either. I have seen another person mention that the back button does not seem to be closing apps that should close. Anybody else confirm?

Thanks,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
What version and speed did you install... I guess you are installing an overclock speed your Hero can't handle.

Try the SOC version it defaults to the Hero factory speeds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
keep in mind guys - some froyo roms don't seem to be able to run at as fast a clock speed as our 2.1 roms could. I can run up to 729 without trouble on 2.1 although I normally go up to 710 max since I don't like to push it all the time, but with froyd (for example) I have issues with video stuttering over about 652mHz (Even then it's not perfect). in this rom I can hit 691 no problem, but it does seem to be very different and unpredictable how froyo roms run on heros.

slow it down as the author says - if you have bootloops and instability it's got to be either an incomplete wipe (some recovery roms don't wipe completely either it seems) and/or too high of an overclock speed for this given rom build on this given phone - and what you thought you knew about clock speeds doesn't apply to froyo any more.

hey all i'm having some battery drain problems here.

its almost 1%/3min if the screen is just turned on (background sync with gmail and weather@4hours, every non essential app killed)

i just cant figure out whats causing the problem, hope you guys can help me.

p.s. i installed the 710Mhz version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
isn`t there something in the settings menus that shows you what is draining the battery on froyo??? pretty sure i saw it in there
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
download droidwall which is basically a firewall of sorts which allows you to block all data and/or set to 3g or wifi only - stops your battery getting zapped and / or control your 3g data for your phone plan

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Do you remember what settings you changed ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Unconn:
It is not that as the same apps are fine on other ROMs. The issue is that apps/services/threads/tasks are not being aloud to be killed. This us probably why some are having battery issues. It maybe the priority of the tasks are not being allowed to be set. I will try to do more research tonight.

Could someone try killing some tasks for me to make sure it is not just my phone?

i used arabic 2.2 lib was made by som one to support arabic in froyo by flashing it after flashing your rom update 5.1 and it worked .. now with the new update 6.1.1 if i flashed arabic 2.2 lib its stuck in hero logo !! but when i flashed the rom with out flashing arabic 2.2 lib the rom runed ! can you plz help me with that >>thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pichelheimer:
Ok after a few days of day to day usage I have to say the first impression still holds.

This is an awsome ROM! No FCs, no stutter when using the keyboard. Everything is smooth and nice to handle.

Battery duration is more than OK. Two days of texting, eMails, MP3s and some wifi tethering and the battery is at 40%, usage time around 5h rest ist standby.

Thanks again for your work!!!

When will the new kernel come out? Dream and Magic had now:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I have noticed with Advanced Task Killer (ATK widget) that my handset will start up, I will press the Kill widget to close open apps, it will say 12 apps killed etc then when I do it again a few seconds later (even after I have not opened other apps), it will say 8 apps killed. It seems as if some apps just open again. It's a shame because sometimes this does cause performance issues.

Hi rbrucemtl, Is there only SOC version for update 7?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ablivian:
When i go to settings => cyanogenmod settings => application settings.

I turned on "allow application moving..." and with "install location" i've chosen for external.

When I install my apps on the SDcard and i reboot my phone, it can not load the widgets "problem with loading" and in the menu, i can not see the apps that i installed on my sd card. After 1-3minutes, my apps are back.

With your Fusion Rom 6.1.1 i could reboot my phone, and i find all my apps, and loaded all my widgets perfect like it should.

I tried also froydvillian 1.4.3 and that rom has also the problem what i just descriped.

(If i install apps on my phone, it works all fine)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
Where is the another kernel overclocked versions??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TeroSufix:
Not working a navitel navigator app exiting with FC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrC85:
I had the same problem, the solution is to set the install location to the phone.

If you boot the ROM with an EXT partition then APPS2SD will 'fool' the phone into thinking the EXT partition is part of the phones internal memory and will install all of your apps to it automagically.

At least that's how I believe it works (does on mine).

Froyo's app manager (Settings --> Applications --> Manage...) will register the apps as on the phone but Quick System Info from the app market will confirm that they are on the SD card (or you could just remove the card whilst the phone is on and see all of your apps disappear. But I would not recommend you do that, as you would have to rebuild your home screen's)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
I have not included the old apps2sd method as it seems to interfere with the Froyo method.

I will post a small update to enable it later today for people that use the old method. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
I'll check it out today :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
I will upload the fast boot versions today at work because I'll have access to our fiber connections. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ablivian:
If i understand it well: i can set 'settings' => cyanogenmod => applications settings => allow applications moving to SD (turned on)

install location: automatic? or internal.

All the apps wil then be installed on de EXT partition from my Micro SD card?

So if i install another custom rom, the other rom should be able to find the apps like it was possible when i used cyanogend mod 5.0.7 or 5.0.8 using save apps to ext part?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattnmd:
hi, sometimes when i open camera it doesn't open the settings on the right hand

side and i can't push any button anymore..

if camera does open and shows me the settings and take a photo or 3, i go to

gallery to watch my photo's i've just taken and press back it does the same thing..

anyone else has this problem??

also can't change the amount of homescreens in the ADW settings..

grtz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrC85:
Not sure on that one. I have 'Allow Application Moving' turned off (and haven't flashed a different ROM than Fusion in a long time (since update 3 I think).

I just have the EXT partition and let APPS2SD take care of the rest.

Sorry I can't be more help...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
edit: never mind.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Not with Froyo's APPS2SD but the old APPS2SD yes...

I will provide a patch later to allow your apps to be used with the old method

Froyo method is to let the developers decide where to install the apps and it's recommended to leave set to auto.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Yes the camera still has some bugs...

You can add or remove home screens... but the settings for that have changed. :)

Press menu from the home screen and click edit. I'm not sure I like the new ADW screen management... it needs work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
ok, i decided to try this ROM after having some problems with GPS on FroydVillain. At the first time i tried GPS status app my phone rebooted immediately but after that it worked and got 8/8 satellites in 5 seconds! Very nice. I hope the rest of the rom works as good as GPS :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Benz0l:
Yeah, this ROM is simply the best i've ever tested. Fast, stable and it seems that all my important apps are running fine.

But i have a question... is it normal, that snyronisation with HTC Sync 3 isn't functional? I used the latest Version from the htc website for Android versions 2.1 and above. But if i conntect my phone, i can't select to sync. How can i transfer all the contacts from my Computer? Anyone have an idea?

Man, das wird ne lange Nacht heute... pfff ;)

EDIT: Hmm.. i could playback my backup... then sync my contact with my gmail acc and then replay Froyo... should this work?

EDIT2: Okay... all my contact are saved on the sim card.. no one is a Google contact. So i've exported all my contact to a *.csv file and import it in Googe mail. So... that work fine :)

After I flash UPDATE 7, all of these apps are missing.

Does UPDATE 7 auto wipe this data?

I found a problem after flash UPDATE 7.

The battery LED is still shine after pull out USB cable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] igor.tonky:
did a full wipe and installed it the soc version. it hung on "verifying login/password" on initial google setup via wifi. rebooted, tried 3g. rewiped and retried - same thing.

then i rebooted and skipped the google signin altogether. cheked browser - wifi/internet working. then i tried market, agreed to license agreement, and - lo and begold - it didn't ask for credentials, autologged me in somehow.

i guess it stored my login/pass from seemingly failed attempts to sign in after boot.

anyway, my account was in "accounts and sync", so i just ticked sync ckeckboxes and now everything seem to be working fine.

seem to be a really nice rom, thanks for your work.

really loving the CM parts, especially the power widget.

keep it up!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
They are still there but you can't access them because the Froyo APPS2SD method uses encryption. You will have to make a ext2 partition and use the old APPS2SD if you want to have access to all your apps all the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
You probably have a notification
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Were you connected to wifi when it hung... because it takes a few min before you are prompted to connect to wifi at the init setup .

I have tested this many times with no problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xiaoshatian:
I don't think so. Notification should only affect the button backlight. In my case, when I connected my hero to PC, the charging LED will be on, you know, this LED is at the top of hero. But after I Pull out USB cable, it is still on, and turn to orange color.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
is it also blinking a little ? If there is a notification it will be on and blinking a little also... plus the track ball.
