Sure I did ;) Ticking all "system groups" (friends, family...) is meaningless since these are empty (for me). Ticking "all contacts" just adds a lot of crap mails automatically added by gmail when you send mail.

These are associated with my GMAIL account. I also have a TWITTER account, but that's kindda useless...

What I need, though, are my FACEBOOK contacts. Actually, for a reason unknown to me, some gmail contacts are actually grabbing the facebook pics, but not all of them, even those with matching names. But I can't see my facebook contacts, those few that have different name between gmail and facebook, since there is basically no facebook account to be be sync with.

In VE5, with a WORKING facebook sync (meaning : a facebook account alongside gmail and twitter), I had those extra few contacts, allowing me to link them... (yes, you can link, or join, facebook and gmail contacts together, pretty much as in Sense)

Not sure if I made myself clear here...

Edit : I don't really get why your FACEBOOK contacts would magically appear when you're playing with your GMAIL account... Or did I understood something wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
well, in my rom there was also a third second called facebook, and it was unchecked. I checked it and voila, there everyone from my facebook list appeared :-)

everything you tried wouldn't have made any sense at all of course, as you figured out, but if you don't see a facebook account listed there then it could certainly be the problem :-)

cheers! :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vlefevre86:
My point, exactly ;)

The thing is, with other ROMs (CMH 2.1 - or Cronos Froyo 2.2, both with broken facebook sync), playing with build.prop or build.hero.prop in /system would fix the facebook sync, allowing me to add my facebook account, thus showing up facebook contacts... But it doesn't seem to work here (wiping facebook data and rebooting doesn't help).

I'm kindda lost... :-/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaji007:
has this got full facebook integration now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Well I have to say I refuse to use Facebook and I think it's evil... but I will look into it for all of you who do use it.

If you have and ideas pass them my way so I can update in the next release :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hahahaha... last half dozen posts were about this :-)

just made me smile :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
you're an honest man. it's evil, but if I'd refused to have an active account for the past 2 years i'd have never enabled probably 2 dozen or more of my old friends from high school and elementary school (I'm 41) to come across me, sort of re-introduced by facebook since I expect they weren't actively searching for me in most cases. But it's been really great - I think it' the best way to be reunited with people from the past. Just a couple weeks ago my old band from the late 80's early 90's got back together for a reunion dinner, the keyboardist lives in China now, we're in Canada, it was quite an event. Very likely wouldn't have happened without Facebook.

but it does have it's issues definitely - legal, privacy, user interface, privacy, speed, reliability, security, privacy. oh, and privacy.

When i use my carkit bluetooth does not function well. I can control my phone with the carkit, but the sounds is not outputted via the speakers. I had this problem with 4.2 also. Is there a way to fix this or help you testing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Tried now,phone wont boot again :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Sorry to hear... I don't think I will maintain a Software overclockable version... it's slow and does not seem to work very well.

I tested this all day today and it works fine on my phone but I go back to the 691 kernel overclocking for it's smoothness.

I think I will make sort of drop in kernels at many speeds for people to download.

What speed do you normally over clock to?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Mostly no problems with 672Mhz,but tried few ROMs and sometimes

691Mhz works too!

Seems to be the Kernel!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
Sorry, if this as been ask before but I simply don't have the time to read all the posts (very busy)

Anyway, I can't install any paid apps from the market. It gives me download unsuccessful.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
think you have misunderstood - under display option i have my google email, twitter and last.fm under the `contacts to display` section - no facebook hence no facebook contacts although some contacts have images from facebook i am presuming this is data on the sd card or else it was synced with google contacts or some such.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] atkati:
Facebook sync is working with latest update.

You have to set the sync in the Facebook app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vlefevre86:
Confirmed !! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maini85:
Is there a non-fileshareing mirror for the latest release?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skymera:
Disabled perflock which allowed custom overclocking/underclocking.

Running good at 245/710

Also, is there an easy way to link my phone contacts with my facebook contacts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gothnux:
The best Froyo ROM.

GOOD JOB!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] catterick:
Indeed, but contact pictures doesn't seem to update for me?

Could someone tell me how to use tethering? I enabled tethering but I don't know what I have to do on my laptop.

Im using Windows 7, if someone could help i would be VERY grateful. Just moved house and Virgin have provided a faulty modem....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dont know:
load the newest fb app from market

IN the fb app - go to menu - perferences

THERE activate that you want to sync the contacts

THEN go to launcher - contacts

menu - "view options" (I have german rom - sorry)

THEN you will not only have your nornaml GMAIL, exchange and whatever - you hopefully will have facebook

Now, tick the synchronize option

hth
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Ok so it seems Facebook is working? Thats good news.

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stravag:
still can't get it to boot. the SOC version still hangs at the hero logo and the OC versions both hang at the fusion!rom logo.

any ideas where the problems could lie? is there a way to get some kind of log output?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
yeah new version of facebook app includes syncing fb friends details to your contacts - htc sense and other apps were doing it previously now its built into the app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
fusion 5.1.1 kicks butt!

using it all afternoon. great work!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JonasBom:
Why is the SOC_version not recommend? My hero cant run 691-Roms...a 676 would be very nice ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Concerning FB sync it works, but kinda weird. I got 3 types of errors

1st contact is found and everything is sync (photos, updates etc)

2nd contact is found, but nothing is sync. Thats the weird one, it shows error message contact is not editable on this device.

3rd contact not found. This I think is because 1st name and name is case sensible.

Also in HTC Sense you manually select contacts to link with FB.

Otherwise really great progress of porting Froyo to Hero. The only think I wish for future builds would be improved general performance and working camera.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
I'll make them :).

edit:

SOC 5.1.1

691MHz

710MHz

Remember, only the soc has been updated. The other ones are still 5.1.

HF
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
The SOC version does not seem to work well.. much slower and the clocks resets when the phone is rebooted.

I will put up a 676 and a few other speeds of kernels for the next release when I have time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
I don't know why it should been there is no default overclocking on the SOC version. You could try loading the SDK and running adb logcat to see the logs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JonasBom:
Would be awesome! SOCversion dont boot...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Traubisoda:
Thanks for the ROM, I love it.

A few bugs that I've noticed:

-No headphone icon on the notification bar if headphones inserted

-After exiting a program or unlocking the phone, the home screen won't react for the first touch(not every time, but mostly)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Just to mention: I am using the SOC (5.1) since the first day -no FC, no speed lag, no problems at all! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Hi thanks for testing

the headphone icon in status bar is from Sense... no Android ROM has this.

Try LauncherPro the whole phone will seem faster and less laggy. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I admit, this is getting picky, I'm not one to request features normally. I love this rom, it's terrific, works so well it's a daily user for me when I feel like I want a daily user. as solid as froyd, with very minor differences, not bad at all considering the # of guys on the villain team :-)

But one of the only things that is really bugging me about this rom is that it's the only froyo rom where I install dialer one (the only dialer I like to use on vanilla roms), it works, but during a call the screen has no useful button features at all.

In the other froyo roms the screen locks and unlocks really REALLY nicely automatically during calls with a double tap to unlock briefly, awesome concept for our heros. And the other ones, at least once you install dialer one (maybe even without it, I don't know, first thing I put on is dialer one) have shortcut buttons for speakerphone toggle, hang up, other things, really useful and intuitive controls that don't require you to go into the menu button and futz aroudn wtih hard to see/read stuff. Especially while driving, my phone's in it's cradle on my dash, bt is in my ear, great, but I want to tap the speakerphone on for my kids to talk to my mum or whatever briefly and it's not safe at all to do it in your rom due to the compexity.

in other vanilla roms, even good 2.1 roms like VE5, it's right there on the screen, and in the other froyo roms you just double tap the screen first to unlock for a couple of seconds (it automagically relocks after that which is great for holding the phone on your face to talk) and tap the speakerphone button. Among other very useful features they have on that same screen.

If you could please look into what those other guys have included in their roms to enable those features it would be a really good idea imho.

even just getting to the dialer during a call in your rom, it shows the vanilla dialer, not the dialerone dialer.

Probably it's a hack in the other roms, but it sure is a nice one :-)

UPDATE: it has nothing to do with dialer one. the other roms (cronos froyo 2.2 for example) have these extra features in the stock phone app, and they still are there when using alternative dialers. Definitely worth checking out, sir!

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ImGeneralZod:
WOW, thanks for this post. I thought DialerOne was without these features. I only use Fusion!ROM or VillainROM 12 (with Sense only) so I had no idea the other Froyo ROMS have this working properly.

I hope this can be solved because Fusion is my favorite next to Villain ROM 12 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Well it's optional in FusionROM... :)

Try... Menu - Settings - Call Setting - In-call touch UI
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
@ rbrucemtl

Please can you add only a kernel which overclocked

to 538Mhz by default,so I can test this ROM again and can see if the kernel

is the problem why my phone wont boot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
Well it's optional in FusionROM...

Try... Menu - Settings - Call Setting - In-call touch UI
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool! I had no idea. maybe it should be on by default? it's probably optional in other roms too, but on be default I'd guess.

Your rom is solid and reliable and quick, I know people use it for their daily driver and I have many times.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pigfacesoup:
Excellent!

I was one skeptical mofo before flashing this ROM. Before Fusion I was on VillainROM 12, and Sense kept on restarting for no reason, the battery was gone in 14 hours and it was generally laggy and unhappy, even lagging on picking up phone calls, but I dealt with it for the Eclair goodness.

If there was all this trouble in just going to 2.1, I figured 2.2 would reduce my phone to a brick. Your amazing ROM pulled it off through, so thank you. After one day it is still ultra-fast, and the battery is going strong.

YEAH!

I also had all my apps on my SD card before upgrading and FusionROM found them all, so no reinstalling. DOUBLE YEAH!

Then I found out about LauncherPro. TRIPLE YEAH!

The only problem I came across so far is the camera. Any estimates on when you'll get that new kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andreofgyn:
This rom makes me love my Hero again after a loooong time... Trust me, I tested about all roms and even the "stable" 2.1 roms don't beat in any aspect Fusion's rom.

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
agreed. all 3 major froyo roms for the hero are now quite exceptional!

I prefer cronos now that it's in it's latest version, but fusion has been quite amazing for the past few versions. also froydvillain is really nice.

they're all worth using!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Hi, Thought I would sign up as I installed this last night and was very impressed. Love the minimalistic look of Froyo, makes me like my hero much more lol. So, as is the case with beta there are a few bugs so will report below. I am running the overclocked to 6** (cannot remember the exact number, second in the download list)

Major one for me is that I keep getting thrown out of the internet app. It goes into it and status loading bar gets half way and a few seconds later just throws me out to the home screen. This is on both Wi Fi and 3g etc). It doesnt bring a force close notification up. It worked ok for about an hour and then did this. I tried rebooting and powering off and rebooting but still the same.

Some of the live wallpapers that worked on 2.1 dont seem to work on this Rom, not a major biggy but thought it worth mentioning. Waterize Lite, Starfield 3D and Galactic Core (poss cos its 3D???). They load up and click on set wallpaper and screen goes black and reverts back to original wallpaper I had.

Facebook photos in contact (Ok its been mentioned)

Music app only has the small version, according to the Youtube video which has a link for here it has a full screen version too.

On the lock screen where my service providers name is there is an 'I' type line at the side. Ok, maybe picky but mentioning it anyway.

No headphone icon when I plug headphones in.

Thats all I can think of at the moment. To be fair, for a beta its running very well, I have had no lag at all even with some live wallpapers running. Sofar battery just off full (icon) and thats from unpluggin 5 hours ago from charge.

Look forward to the updates and....nice work.

Oh one more thing, Google Voice. If its a GSM rom it need not be there as only available in the US apparently.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Traubisoda:
Awh sorry, I didn't use 'clean' android for months :)

Thanks for the advice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Baddudevsninja:
Awesome Rom works really well, great battery life. I have a problem I think, I'm not sure if it has been covered but there are 58 pages and I don't really want to go through all of them. Basically when I receive a text I don't get any notification that I have received a text other than in the taskbar, there is no sound I have tried changing the message tone in settings but I have to look at the screen to know whether I have a text, chances are I'm missing something really simple but its kinda annoying. :confused:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Budius:
I was using VanillaEclair (radug) and it comes only with 2D... I've found this one that I think it's from villainroms, which I usually just overwrite and I did the same on ur ROM and works. I'm not sure how they do it... prob is the reload, but it's a quite smooth one.

I'm flashing update now.

ps.: did u see the comment about the 3G, HSDPA ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
actually the 2nd, but that's not taking anything away, it's still terrific.

the other was usable in it's first test0 incarnation but they were telling everyone not flash it unless prepared for a disaster... but it turned out to be excellent.

anyway, aside from correcting the facts, this IS sounding great -I'm downloading now and look forward to it :-)

cheers and congrats OP :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
to the Rom, developer this is not an AOSP rom and should not be advertised as such. In addition this rom is based on the cyanogen mod 6 Alpha not the finished cyanogen mod 6 as you seem to suggest in your First post. In addition you should make it clear that this is a gsm rom and not a cdma rom, Flashing this rom on a cdma device will brick it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xorti_pt:
I was about to update mu Hero to ChocolateEclair 1.1r2 but I'll give it a try with this ROM.

I'm anxious to try a 2.2 ROM on my Hero.

I'm going to flash it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Steven_belfast:
Greetings,

I had the same issue,

Phone would not boot,

Got the first HERO screen then a reboot,

Flashed twice and still the same,

Not that fussed as 2.2 is still early and testing another few roms also,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tmh:
Hmm, I wonder what the entire forum section labeled "HTC Hero CDMA" is for ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
this is the exact behavior the camera had in test0 of cyanogenmod 6.0 for hero.

Without the intention of putting down the developer's efforts here, but just as a piece of information for readers, if this is correct then the camera's behavior is nothing new. the camera in the current alpha0 actually focuses really well but still FCs and has no screen preview.

But anyway, the led indicators are nice to have in this rom. I'm sure there are differences due to it not having the cyanogenmod stuff as well. and the kernel settings sound like they should work well.

I'm excited to flash it right now :-)

again - this isn't meant in any way against the dev, but just information to people who might not realize how much was done already by cyanogen and the hero porting team (and is still going on in their camera development which is now focusing and taking great quality pics, just without previews, video or much stability).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
ive just loaded this from, cyna mod 6 and so far it feels just as fast, if not faster, But i cant connect to wifi, it is working as my laptop works fine, but the phone just says authenticating then disconects.

also my SD card wont load ? possibly because i still have a ext partition from my last roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DarK-X:
Anyone screenshots please?

Big thanks :o)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
I know that, however on the first post in this thread the dev says "Works on GSM Hero... not tested on CDMA." that suggest this may work on cdma phones, which it doesn't, that is why I pointed it out to the dev
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Tried with Update1,the same again!

GSM Hero ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Steven_belfast:
I had this issue aslo after flashing,

Was not able to get the rom to boot and so wanted to test CM6,

How ever pc keps saying there was no disk in the drive,

I Wiped all again parted the card again,

Then removed the card and use cable turned the phone off,

Put the card back in and then loaded in to amon ra and turned on usb and it worked,

Hope you get sorted soon,

I have noticed that if all else failes go back to rru rom and reflash again to a custom rom.

going back to cm6 for now, cant get wifi to work.

this rom wont read the sd card if it has a partition, but i couldnt find the option for apps2sd on the rom which i use alot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
note: wifi worked fine for me on this rom during my brief test, and the point of true froyo is to use a full fat32 sd card (according what I've read in this thread), so to use froyo-style apps2sd you need to format to fat32.

and quick response - I don't feel like bothering, I have too much time to lose by formatting for fat32 and recopying everything over again from my pc backup. I'll wait for someone else to be the Guinea pig first and see what results they get from teh camera and from video recording and from froyo-style apps2sd.

I'd love to hear some good news...

Wait a minute, do you mean installing paid apps from the market or installing apks from your sdcard ?
