True, but for the novice users (me, 2 weeks ago).

After flashing 15 ROMs in a row, and playing 40min with each one, you get a better idea of the true reality.

Linpack, BenchmarkPI, Benchmark, Quadrant, Neocore, etc., etc., are CPU/GPU intensive tasks. And playing with a ROM (switching menus, writing sms/mms, browsing the market) don't pull the max out of CPU.

My objective is to stress the CPU, just to see which ROM will perform better under those circumstances. For the overall use, they are pratically the same. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
Does anybody know how to get friendstream working on this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
So can you say me wich Rom (with Sense) have the smoothest reaction?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:
That's not my job. But ChocolateEclair is one of the fastest. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
As far as i remember someone had problems with Titanium Backup's root priviledges. Just remove the program and install it again and it works.

btw. on 1.1 i got 3.017 with linpack, on 1.1r2 i got 3.016 so no big difference here :D

Best Rom So Far

Congratulations on this rom - easily the best 2.1 so far....

However - as with even official 2.1 rom - facebook sync is not working.

I have had this working on a couple of 2.1 roms before (flashed so many so cant remember which) and I know it doesnt affect everyone - but please please please please can we find a fix for this - tried everything!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FraBle:
hi,

does apps2sd also include dalvik2sd?

because i have over 300 apps and games and dalvik cache in cache partition doesn't suffice...

best regards

frable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Facebook sync works as it should. I get all the pictures and statuses out-of-the-box(without installing anything else, just by setting up the account on the first setup screen).

No, dalvik cache is not moved on SD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FraBle:
and how to do so?

i would like to use this rom but i need dalvik2sd for my apps...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flitz:
it's faster when its on phone that's why it is not done in this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FraBle:
i know, but the size is too small for all my apps...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rakig:
From his benchmark thread:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
In Villainrom12 they moved the dalvik, not to the sd card but somewhere else! maybe something like that can work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:
Actually, I answered him.

Thanks for the support, though. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
hey RaduG, any plans for lower clocked version???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
It`s fast enough with JIT,faster then Villain 12.0 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
Mister RaduG, 16 year old Wizard of Hero Roms :),

I've enjoyed VE 4.0 in the past, am currently on Cronos 2.0.2, but am not fully satisfied, so I'm thinking about moving back to your Sense ROM.

I was wondering though:

- Is there still an older download link alive for the Chocolate Eclair 1.1 Rom, since the r2 version appears to be a bit slower?

- Where are you going with r1, r2, etc... Are you planning to have a full release in the near future (1.2?) which will be the last definite non-Froyo version?

- And a silly last question: Have you ever got in contact with HTC about their softwar development? Looking at the benchmark, the difference in performance is amazing, hard to imagine that HTC would be completely uninterested by it :)

Ciao!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
How did u get JIT working? Is it stable?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@BRjipstra

Hey there.

R2 is slower only in benchmars. All users have reported that it feels smoother. I jumped to r2 because the updates were not so significant and 1.1.1 didn't look nice for a version :P . Finally, the speed improvements over the stock HTC ROM are mostly due to my overclocked and tweaked kernel. I don't think that HTC are allowed to or will ever provide a device with an overclocked CPU.

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndrewWalker613:
anyone interested in posting default screenshots of the phone?

I would like to see what it looks like

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
It looks like a default 2.1 Sense ROM. Nothing different regarding looks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flitz:
will there be a 1.3 or 2.0 ? What changes do you had in mind ?

Will there be a Froyo remake ?

tnx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
I completely agree with you RaduG, I have both the ROM's and tried them over several games, Browser with multiple windows etc. But both work at the same speed and smoothness.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I just realised I am using a slightly different radio version to the one that is recommended for this ROM (mine is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18).

Will this make much difference? Should I change to the recommended one? If so, how is this done?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
Fair enough guys,

I'll prepare myself for another download, flash and reinstall evening :-).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:
We don't have access to the changelogs of the different radio versions.

But we believe the latest release is always the best.

To flash a new radio, just download it, and flash it through recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
I have flashed the Rom, seems to be very good and fast :) Well done.

But i can't run the integrated ASTRO Manager, it says that the version has expired (iredownload and now its working). Maybe u can update to the latest version is the next version of ur Rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
RaduG any ETA on the different kernals ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
It seems that the reply didn't reach the forum. Strange.

I posted earlier today that the HDD which I use for linux is almost bye-bye(makes strange noises) and I had to backup everything... but the new hard drive will arrive in 1-2 days, and I'm now on... windows :( . But I've managed to backup my sources and such.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
bad news... but then theres always virtualbox if 2 days is too long! (it probably is)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Oh, compiling in VirtualBox takes AGES.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Wooooooow after 30min of using....great.never had a faster rom.everything is working.perfect.man great work.fantastic !!!!

but one question. i really like the desire lockscreen (from Villian 12). Is it possible to post it to ChocolateEclair? Please say yes :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I can imagine. I actually meant just for regular use.

Anyway after such a good ROM you deserve a break for a couple of days i reckon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
I can provide you with an update.zip for that But if RaduG doesn't mind that.

Oh! I'm sorry it's available at XDA here

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
I flashed the update.zip but nothing changed :(

Sorry mate, saw too late ur link ;) But thanks for help!!!

You are my man!!!! Thank you very much. The Rom is now perfect!

Thank you very much.

But can u tell me how to edit the background_lockscreen?

Edit: Found it. In german menu - settings -"Personalisieren" (first option) - Background lockscreen.

Thaaaaaaaank youuuu aaaaaaaaaal. Great Rom and very nice guys here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Foxje:
Very nice, fast and stable ROM. Did not find any shortcomings.

Thank you very much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
Still pretty please for kernel with netfilter owner module
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Okay one more question :)

Is it possible to have a transparent bar? Sorry my english is bad. I will try to explain. The above bar shouldn't be completly transparent, only when u slide it down. I hope u understand what i'm saying. I will try to find a picture. Wait a second.

Like this: http://www.htcdevscene.co.uk/uploads/1275609719/gallery_1_5_71321.png

Is it possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
Is there a way to add voice, to the keybaord ? or is there a keyboard I can download which has the ability to say words rather than having to type them ?

Thanks all..:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
Brilliant!!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
To all you vanilla guys:P

Just want to say that my theme also works for this ROM so you can have a vanilla style ROM if you use launcher pro. My theme has the default android white notification bar and of course themed Sense homescreen. It also has fx calendar with vanilla style look;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brandoo:
Thanks for the ROM - I've been using Villain ROMS exclusively (not sure why?) and 12 seemed to be a real hog... which is why I started looking for alternatives.

This is a lot 'snappier' and the battery life is far better.

I just updated from 1.1 to 1.1r2 - just flashed right over the top.

I've lost all the HTC widgets that were set up. Anyone else seen this or know how to sort it out?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tom_taylor:
Really good on my htc so far!

Would be great to see your build with froyo 2.2, further speed improvements and memory usage with the updated kernal, etc :)

One of the best i've used so far!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
Music via bluetooth is lagging !

Anyone experiences listening music via bluetooth earphone is not smooth. The sound is fading in and out, like the bluetooth signal is interfered by some internal apps. I found this since CE 1.0.1 and also this latest CE 1.1r2. I tried to change many bluetooth earphones but results are same. Is there any solution on this issue?

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
try reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>manage applications select HTC sense, and select clear data!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
tried flashing r2, but phone kept hanging and i had to keep doing batt pulls and reboots. And once I left the phone to sleep on it's own, it couldn't wake up anymore.

r1 had freezes too but not as severe.

So guess I have to wait for free kernel before I can use flash this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
Wow, that's cool! Would be nice if included in the future releases of this ROM .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] t24ever:
I had the same problem as you discribe and I tried to reinstall the rom with no sucess .. What solved the problem for me was to reinstall the Radio and remove the Bluetooth headset and the install the Bluetooth headset again.

After that I didnt had any problem and the music is smooth ... perhaps this will work for you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Today I'm getting a new HDD. If everything goes well, the ChocolateEclair project will be finnished tonight. The final version will be released, along with the other kernels. Then I will leave Chocolate and finally (re)turn Vanilla ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
Nice! I was just about to flash R2, but I'll be patient for one more day then :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
I'm happy both the ways even if you leave Chocolate Eclair because both of your ROM's are so damn smooth and stable :D

Oh! and BTW what can we expect from r3(Just a little hint)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Yesterday i installed r2. What is the different between this version and the final version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Well, a new default kernel, new A2SD method, desire lockscreen by default(I don't think anyone is against this one), friendstream(maybe) and others. I can't provide a full changelog right now, the first thing I have to do is get my linux back up and running. Only dalvik cache wipe will be required.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Many of us want FriendStream, after FriendStream this ROM would be a complete package atleast for many of us :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Thanks for reply. Okay good timing, i want to flash the hero from my grilfriend tomorrow so it think CE is the right decission :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
Thanks, have tried accordingly but no success. I've tried with all Radio ROMs (, 15.14, 15.11 and 15.01), still no luck. What I notice that it is only for music but the video's sound via bluetooth is fine, weird! I also tried to "push brf6350.bin to /system/etc/firmware/" but no success as well. I hope someone would know the solution, please..

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
hey RaduG, is it possible if u juz let us adjust the clock ourselves with setCPU instead of pre-overclocked by u??? this should provide more flexibilities as not all of our Hero can run at 690+MHz or even 700+MHz...

and yes, Desire lockscreen and Frienstream would be nice... how abt voice search and live wallpaper???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Armrhero:
Hello Radug and guys.

I flashed the rom 1.1r2 and as my hero does not support 691Mhz, it gets stuck on the screen hero. So I tried flashing the kernel ChocolateEclair_1.0_lokernel. And here it works very well. Is this normal?

Another quick question: I can not overclock this kernel until the maximum frequency that supports my hero (652Mhz). Is it possible to have a kernel as the original one, settled on a lower frequency so that all boot with the hero so that we can resolve the desired frequency then?

Thank you for the work done and sorry if my English is bad, I do not speak only very little.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:
You must flash the freekernel.

Also:

We are waiting for 4 days now. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Armrhero:
Oh sorry, I did not notice that the freekernel corresponded to what I asked.

But there is not ChocolateEclair only in Vanilla. Is that if I flash this freekernel, it will boot?

I followed the problems met by Raduga but I wanted to experiment without taking too many risks, hence my questions.

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:
Ohh... Didn't notice that. Nandroid backup first.

But I seriously doubt it, lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
hey bro, may i know where i can download that??? thanks...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
The Vanilla Eclair's free kernal won't work with this ROM, Vanilla and Chocolate Eclair have different kernal's and bases.

It hasn't been uploaded by RaduG till now, lets see if he does it by tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tom_taylor:
I've noticed with this rom and the latest radio update that was recommended to be updated has a minor wifi issue.

If you restart the Hero, the wifi connects but doesn't seem to obtain an ip address automatically

I can replicate this issue on at least 3 different wireless networks so far, and i tried them all with wpa-psk(1 and 2) and wep

Do we also know how to identify if your Hero supports the faster CPU overclocked!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
OK, I've got the new harddrive, now I have to install and configure Arch Linux.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Armrhero:
Well! Good luck with the main task and the completion of the project ChocolateEclair.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ajgago:
Hey, RaduG, i just want to say the ChocolateEclair is a fantastic rom! I've tried about six or seven different roms on my Hero (even your own VanillaEclair), but this one is definitely my favorite. Thanks for providing users with such a great rom. Can't wait for r3!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Good Luck Mate and hope you finish the Chocolate Eclair project by tonight :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slimjimwoods:
There is extra spare parts settings in vanilla that allow you to set how many recent applications are shown, any idea how to enable that in this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Maybe u can also update to the latest google maps version in the final chocolate version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elmechoso:
Hi to everybody and many thanks to RaduG for his great work.

RaduG if you finally add the Desire lockscreen by default. Please, could you provide us a fix for people that rather the original.

And please, cosider very seriously to add the copy/paste legend style to your final version. I think it's far better than the original Hero one.

BTW, does anybody know a way to change the new bootscreen for the old one? I miss a lot that funny green android.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grandmasterb66:
Very stable and snappy

Completely agree with that. Based on the benchmarks done by Shokkapic I have decided to give the great Chocolate treat a try :p. Been using Villain 6, 10 and 12. And have also tried EzHero V5. The latest Villain surprised me with it's stability and user friendliness, but my GPS didn't seem to work. Even after 10 mins there was still no fix (I always do full wipes btw), so I decided to bail out...

EzHero was great as it has quite a nice feel to it further strenghtened with different settings and options which aren't stock. On the other hand there were some small bugs which were getting on my nerve from time to time, but damn that ROM was fast (Linpack going towards 5)! :eek:

Now switched to Chocolate and I miss those options honest. But the ROM is so freaking stable and very quick. In comparison to Villain 12 I notice especially quick reaction times when pushing a 'direct call-shortcut' i.e. Whereas Villain took sometimes a few sec to display the correct info, Chocolate is much more snappy and works instantly. In general getting scores of around 2.9 at Linpack and almost 32 frames with NEOcore (no sound).

Still curious to find out about the full Cyanogen 6 package though. Anybody knows when there will be a stable version for the Hero? And does anyone have a comparable (FREE!) alternative for the HTC calendar? That was also one of the reasons I switched from the 'non-Sense/Sense-less' EzHero... :)

Keep up the good work RaduG, you rock!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
Did this work for you? It didn't for me :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ajgago:
There's Fusion!ROM which is based on Cyanogen 6 and the official AOSP 2.2 source. It's incredibly fast but still a little buggy at least in my testing. You can check it out here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724637
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but,

what radio version is recommended for this rom?

EDIT: dont worry, ive read the first post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grandmasterb66:
Yeah, stability currently seems to be the hot issue for the Froyo based releases though. I am eager to try, but will wait it out a bit. Also read that Fusion is still showing somewhat serious bugs. When would the Cyanogen mod be reaching its final stages, any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Oh, I had some issues with Arch linux... after a couple of hours spent on configuration, I realised that it's not what I am looking for, even though it's fast and clean. So... I went back to ubuntu 10.04, compiled a 2.6.35 kernel - which is much faster than 2.6.34 - and I've just finnished setting up the Android enviroment. But it's too late, I can't compile 3-4 kernels now. But, tomorrow, final CE+bunch of kernels will be available 100%.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Noo! Sad face:P .35 kernel REALLY?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tom_taylor:
Ooooo, so will the next version (r3) have the latest kernel!? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tom_taylor:
You can still upgrade via the market though, but fingers crossed we have the latest software versions in the next version! :)

So are we expecting the next big ROM based on Android 2.2 to be called something like "StrawberryFroyo 2.2a" or "ChocolateFroyo 2.2a" ? ;)

Maybe we'll have to wait for HTC to release Sense UI for 2.2 unless we can port over the existing one!? :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Unfortunately not, the 2.6.35 kernel is for Ubuntu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
1. @C0mpu13rFr34k: What's wrong with the .35 kernel

2. Totally agree on the copy-paste in Legend style, I thought it was one of the larger advantages of the Villainrom Roms. RaduG, I'm sure you're getting crazy from people shouting requests, but this would be a very nice finishing touch!

3. On the bootscreen [I don't have CE installed yet, but this should work]:

- Search the Hero forums for this thingy: signed_original_1.5_bootscreen.zip

- Extract the lot

- Either use adb commands, root explorer or Android Commander (Android commander recommended; super program!) to:

- Firstly delete old bootscreens [the content in system/media/bootscreen]

- [if file is there: delete system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip. Failing to do so means you can never change the bootscreen]

- and then copy the files from the zip's bootscreen folder to the system/media/bootscreen folder. [or flash the new bootscreen]

Hope you will have enough information with this rough guide, if you need more details, I'm afraid you will have to do some searching on the forums over here...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Ubuntu 10.04 is the way forward. Looking forward to some more solid ROMAGE action tomorrow!

P.s. by the way I suffered my 1st crash on 1.1r2 today when firing up web browser. Had to remove battery to reset. Not bad after 2 days I suppose... :)

Keep up the good work mate.

Startup splash screen and audio

Hi,

Thanks for this fantastic rom

however, I have one slight issue - is there any chance, how I can remove the startup sound completely (also change the startup image, right after boot screen)? Sometimes my phone crashes, even at work, which follows by reboot and playing that startup chime at the very maximum volume, no matter that phone was in silent mode before it restarted. I would be very grateful :)

p.s., I checked /system/media as other threads suggested, but these files are not there. My Hero is ofc rooted, so just would need to know, where the config is :)
