All preinstalled apps go in system/app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ImGeneralZod:
I did what you suggested and it didn't work. I put my APK's in the system/app folder.

I also tried this: I renamed another version of launcherpro.apk to launcher2.apk and that installed. Launcher2.apk was already in the system/app folder so all I did was overwrite it with my version.

I think there is some sort of script associated to what's already in the ROM. If programs are added and not in this script they won't install. Is this correct?

If that's the case how do I add my apps to the script?

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
make sure they all have read/execute permissions for all users set. if using something like rootexplorer to move them within the rom's operation itself then they won't have the default permissions set and have to be chmoded manually afterwards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiwi89:
Ok.

After the 4.1 update the phone seems to be running into random slow downs that I didn't get with 3.

But other then that it is working quite well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
It's probably akmd running away with itself, it's a common problem across Hero 2.2 builds at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ImGeneralZod:
Thanks :) This all seems too complicated for me so I'll just give up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's it, keep your fighting spirit going! try try again and all that **** LoL

as an alternative option since froyo's a little bit bleeding edge still, if you want great performance with 2.1 you can try one of the 2.1 builds that have jit, there are a few kicking around I think, I'm using one right now and it actually plays raging thunder 2 far more smoothly with way higher fps than any froyo roms do (to my utter shock). in my case it's ve5.0 with jit enabled in the stock kernel (I wouldn't be able to handle the high clock speed jit kernel, it's a 768mhz kernel or something ridiculous like that LoL). but at 691 with jit it's absofrickinlutely quick in high fps 3d games. I thought froyo was the only way, but so far froyo's slower.

however when using ve5.0 I really miss the froyo stuff that was in froyd (and probably in this) like proper exchange calendar support, superior copy/paste (which for anyone who doesn't know is why there is a little mouse pointer in the top left of the screen briefly when starting some apps - it's the new copy/paste in froyo and it is really nice compared to 2.1 vanilla).

I chose to continue to figure this out and found this link which helped me do exaxtly what I wanted.

based on cm6 ... so, yes :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:
Nice xD

Nest question. This or FroydVillain? Anyone tried both? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elastep:
Please!!!! Please!!! Please!!!

Burn not so MUCH overclocked rom! 691 would be great! It has fast boot and good performance, but works at ALL heroes...

IMHO the best model is to have one soft overlockable rom, one extreme (710) and one std (690)

Thanks for your rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
only thought I have is that 710 isn't noticeably faster than 691.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
SD will not work if you have any Ext partiton on your card (its the same for all froyo roms i believe). So if you want an SD card to work you have to format it to just FAT in recovery.

Dont quote me on this though, im testing it now. But this has been my experience will ALL previous froyo builds for hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NoXXX:
Looks like hardkeys lights stoped working :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
The SD card is working... do you mean Apps2SD ? I will have this working soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Yep... I will fix it soon ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
:confused: Come from other ROM and wiped all!

Then flashed the ROM,but phone wont start?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
Vibrate doesnt work, except when the phone turns off for some reason

Sound is fine, and headphones are also fine. SD is fine as you say, and as i pointed out further up this page. Apps2sd should work fine, because froyo includes it as being software based right? so sd card access should allow apps2sd.

btw if you guys are wondering, since froyo doesnt support ext partitions, only androids built in apps2sd will work. (it does for me)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Try again... it should work... if not you always have your backups to fall back on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:

Downloading now ;)

With the old one,phone reboots three times and then hangs

at "HERO" logo!

Will try the update!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
camera

is camera preview working? if so, how did u fixed that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
well, the other froyo builds weren't jerky at all and very fast with jit performance bettering any 2.1 jit hacks.

you shouldn't have any ui jerkiness if this is based on teh same sources (which I think it is).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
I'm sorry to hear that... I don't know why... is your phone GSM or CDMA?

I have not tested on CDMA only GSM let me know how the update works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Delete me please ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Budius:
to the dev,

it's a great ROM and I must congratulate u to be the 1st to deploy a usable 2.2.

it's fast (as fast as Radug ROMs), works nice, market it's there with all it's things.

i've been playing for about 20min with it and let's go to comments/criticism, I hope they can help u improve:

-gallery have the same rotation bug seen several times before, I flashed one I got here and it's now working. I guess I took this from Villain

-some of froyo's functions are not there: no wireless tether; no browser flash;

-camera application did open and force close after I play with the configs for a bit;

-3G works, wifi works, GPS works,

-I have bluetooth in the car, will test tomorrow

-the phone kinda hanged when I try to "Update All" from the market, install a barcode scanner and load google maps to test GPS at the same time.. but hey.. I gues I just push it too hard

-barcode scanner openned the camera but the camera refused to focus at simply QRcodes on the screen.

I'll get the update now and let u know of any further thoughts

edit:

oh.. and the option to move to SD card is there but it's faded out.

edit2:

actually.. I only see 3G here.

it doesn't show as in HSDPA.. and here at home it's always on it... I'm really not sure cause the connection seems fast...

but still... it's something to take a look at...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Thanks for the update... I will fix what I can...

The Gallery 3D bug is a pain... I can ether include the hacks from 2.1 Gallery3D (reload on rotate) or include the 2D gallery for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
froyd is really great now with 1.1.1 + the two OTA updates that came afterwards.

just setting this latest fusionrom up now to compare. I have to say that fusion has been really good for the last few versions too, will try a few things and let you know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
well, intial results are great as far as speed go, all stock cpu speeds (no setcpu installed). I always disregard the first run, these are 2nd runs (and sometimes third runs to check for consistency):

benchmark: cpu, 419.2161 (note: ran 2nd time, got 408, so it varies as expected). memory 157.68735. fs: 35.34088. graphic: 148 (pretty typical of froyo so far - in other words, graphic's ain't the strong point in current builds).

neocore:

- no sound, no touch: 31.9 (nice!)

- no sound, 1 held touch throughout: 27.1 (exceptional - seems likely to be using froyd's kernel imho but haven't read thread to know for sure)

- no sound, very busy multitouch: 18.5 (I'm tougher than other people in this test, what I call the toonwarz test LoL)

benchmarkpi: 7398, 7410 (seems consistent). nice result, again similar to froyd - keep in mind this is all at the default clock speed, I think it's 710 in fusionrom 4.2 isn't it?

and3dbench: 2286, 2048 (quite a variation over 2 runs, first score isn't too bad but neither's very great, typical of froyo on the hero right now).

overall this is a really nice rom.

dont' know over time how it will run.

it's REALLY smooth with launcherpro right now, no slowdowns going on, but again will take time to know for sure.

certainly worth a run imho.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] atkati:
Animated wallpapers do not work anymore in 4.2 update...

I downloaded a Mario animated wallpaper yesterday on my 4.1 install, and it was funny.

Now my phone is sad ! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
because the froyo camera and media libraries aren't compatible with the kernel we're all using in the current hero froyo roms. froyo on the hero is currently a hack of 2.1 kernel with 2.2 libraries (more or less).

camera, some media and 3d stuff etc, all of that is broken or fudged to sort-of work.

until the froyo kernel is built for hero (and, if I'm right about my guess, the newer phone's high resolution screen code modified to work in our medium-resolution heros), we're out of luck.

cronos has apparently built the froyo kernel for the hero now and is running it on his own phone but camera still doesn't work. so there's more to it than that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
so have been running this since last night, I'm really impressed. solid, fast, no slowdowns that I've encountered yet, really stable, doesn't eat battery.

no live wallpapers (not a big deal and likely an easy fix).

can't find some things in market (for example, where's the official android twitter client? I still like it best with it's widget but I can't find it.)

this is one installation I'm actually going to backup for future reuse. I'm very impressed.

I installed your ROM today but I can't install Shazam and SFR Wifi on my Hero, why ???

They aren't visible in the market too...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
4.1 not as stable as 4.2 - phone as crashed / rebooted several times since install but noticeably this seems tied to the market either installing apps or browsing market also market acting strange..when browsing category it randomly returns to front page of market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
also hangs in app management - got a phone running low on space message, clicked that , which took me to management , click on programs and click on move to sd and phone hangs requiring battery removal and restart! (this worked on previous versions)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow, I didn't have either of your issues, 4.2 has been super solid for me. did you upgrade over 4.1? I did a full clean install after wiping everything.

maybe that's the trouble you're having?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bear7364:
For some reason I can't get wifi to work on 4.2. The phone sees my router and connects but will not get an IP address.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gutierrezdev:
I second you.

That's happening to me too. Configured as ever but no networking at all.

Hope you fix this soon cuz this ROM is so nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
yes over the top install, also had some random hangs and now beginning to think the extra overclocking might be the problem - ran fine at 691 but this version is 710 right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Well there is a 691MHz version in the first post. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
If I tell the rom to automatically install all apps to sd card. It won't let me install any app at all. Also I can't seem to find all apps on the market. I doubt it will be from the overclocking though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
thanks hadnt realised.

yup seemed to have solve problem installing 691 version over the top
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gutierrezdev:
Do you guys have the Wifi woking?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] popup89:
I have to say that I love this rom. It's fast and stable, but has a few bugs:

I can not install shazam (not with titanium backup either!!). It might be other apps aswell. Tunee was missing from market, but was able to install it from titanium.

I don't have hsdpa, only 3g.

And i kind of miss the awsome music app that froydvillian has!

Keep up the good work :)

And btw: sorry for my english :p

Edit: I can't add facebook sync :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] isn350:

Please fix the cam !

I can't live without it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yep, its that simple a fix.... that's why all froyo roms on the hero have a working camera but this one.....:rolleyes:...... oh wait! :D

Camera is a big big issue that is not going to be a quick or easy thing to fix on any of these froyo roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
Camera Zoom FX will take pics for you on this rom - does for me - its a bit jerky so don`t imagine video is working but takes pics just fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Wohoo! Just what I was going to ask, one of my few paid for apps :D I asked over in Feyoo's thread, I haven't tried this one for a while, anyone here using Co-Pilot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pastynko:
I'm not a developer, but I can remember how long there was a problem with BT headsets and Eclair ROMs...and then someone find out it was really simple to fix ;)

Maybe this will be same story... :rolleyes: but yeah, after a war, anyone is general :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I used copilot on 1.5 until I (update: flashed my first 2.1 rom and) learned the (not so obvious) cool features of googlenav which, in combination with it's far superior maps (actually have our new bridges from last year!) and text-to-voice street names make google nav a really superior product.

only thing I miss in google nav is an easy (in fact, any) way to mark my current location quickly while driving so I can return there later, or any kind of driving history (which would amount to the same thing).

has copilot changed much since I last had it installed (it was version 8, and I still own it, just havent' installed or updated it in forever).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
The camera will take photos only the previews don't work. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
fyi developer et al, for me the camera has always worked in froyo without previews, and the stock camera has always taken better pics than cameramagic under froyo.

I'm SURE it worked in earlier builds of fusionrom too.... maybe I'm wrong.

so many froyos, so few of my braincells.. :-)

anyway, good to see it's in fusion now. flashing in ... let's see download rate... about 4 minutes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobydeek:
this may have to be the first Froyo that i'll flash! nice work

quick question: is this going to stay as Vanilla (or as Cyanogen) as possible?? [just that i dont like non default looking ROMs :) ]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] clin81:
I have double app on launcher pro..

There is a fix?

P.S. I have fix the problem.... uninstall and re-install the launcher :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
too bad autofocus doesn't work in the camera sans preview. at least it doesn't up close, just tried it.

but that's a low priority. so far it's still restoring my dozens of google apps so this will take a while...

also I still get the android.process.media fc once in a while. I'm guessing that is likely a kernel thing that won't be fixed until .32 solves it on the hero, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Well now that the old APPS2SD works you should never have to reinstall your apps if you have a partitioned SD card.

I've been using my ROMs for a long time and have never had a android.process.media fc so I'm not sure maybe your too overclocked ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
not too overclocked, I ruled that out a while back. It is often repeatable by running gallery3d on those roms where this happens.

clock speed makes no difference, and it's typically the only issue I ever have with these roms. I get zero FCs otherwise.

I have no idea why I get them, but it's happened from day one of the test0 froyo build for me. So it's something in cyan 6 or in the kernel or in the apps that I'm ru nning on it.

keep in mind, with the google auto-restore feature running, it could be something that is restored to my phone within the first couple minutes of use after signing in to my google account that is doing this every time.

I'll have to watch over time and see if it happens even if I don't sign in to my google account.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wait a minute LoL, how does THAT work?

if my apps are in ext partition their symlinks to the real phone's user apps folder won't be there after flashing a new rom, so none of my apps should show up.

right?

I've never heard of being able to leave my apps on an ext partition and having them picked up automagically. and that doesn't happen with the new froyo apps2sd method either.

am I missing something? did something cool happen to the apps2sd code that I'm not aware of? because what you're saying would be very very cool! :-)

PS - I have no ext partition to test with right now due to incompatibility with a particular rom I'm alpha testing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Nope... Packagemanager will scan that partition and re-add your apps.

I've tested it and it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
OMG... is this an automatic process? when did this come into existence? I LOVE that idea... damn now I need to repartition my card again :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Just backup your card... use recovery mode to create the ext2 partition and then reboot... if the rom detects the partition is will automatically enable the APPS2SD feature.

This is the same system that always existed CM releases.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, I'm aware of the auto-enable feature. I've always read taht before flashing a new rom you should wipe ext paritition because the apps installed there wouldn't be used by the new and could cause problems.

this is the first time (after flashing probably 100 times over the past few months) that I've read that the opposite is true in CM-based roms.

I'll be sure to try it :-)

and if I have this misinformation then probably a LOT of users do, so it would be a good idea to mention this capability specifically on the front page.

saying something like "uses new CM apps2sd feature" which I may have read in the past doesn't mean anything to most people other than it uses apps2sd on an ext partition like 99% of roms out there.

really really cool info - thank you!

by the way, pretty great responsiveness from your rom (once I trashed the default crap launcher in favor of launcherpro - WOW the default launcher is slow at scrolling between home pages eh?)

great linpack with your default clock speed great neocore of 31.7 default, pretty impressive all the way around :-)

cheers,

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sameh_elhakim:
i had a big problem when i used the Titanium backup to restore 190 apps after the restore finished , it just restore later than half apps 90 plllz help me in this and i'm very sry for my English hope u understand what i said
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that used to happen to me when using titanium with froyo builds. I don't use it any more because it was annoying to use. it's sort of a necessary evil. best of what it does on our phones, but that's not saying much.

I admit it's been a while now for me so maybe newer versions are better than what I remember.

I somehow doubt it's the rom at fault. titanium may not like these hero froyo roms...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sameh_elhakim:
thanx man for ur reply can u give me ur recommendation for which apps i have to use it to backup my apps with froyo versions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
well honestly I use the built in google backup, although for some reason fusionrom never seems to restore the apps for me where other froyo roms do.

but yea, google backup will restore anything free (or paid for if the rom is working well with the market and you actually paid for the app through the market). it happens automatically when you flash a 2.2 rom and login to your google account on that phone.

then I install anything weird via apks on the sd card using linda file manager (which, though ugly, is still tons faster than any other file manager).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
I'll look into this I have never used the feature so I will do some testing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
