Tasker force close

I love the app Tasker, but since I have switched to this rom (which I love, by the way) anytime I try to set up a profile having a application(Google Navigation) turn on the GPS, I get a force close when trying to save it. I have tried numerous times so I don't think it's a fluke. Does anyone else use Tasker with this rom, and if so, any problems?? Are there any known compatibility issues between this and Tasker. If there is a problem is there a comparable app that people are using. I really like being able to set up all the different scenarios possible with Tasker and would hate to lose it's versatility, but if I have to choose between Tasker and this rom, at least for now I will choose the rom.

In a side note the use of launcherpro with this rom is really slick!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes... download titanium backup from the market (free), and then open it. Click on the desired application, and one of the options will be uninstall. This is the easiest way IMO. Let me know how it goes!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem happy to help :)

themes

is anyone using a theme with this rom? im trying to find out what themes go with this rom. i have a samsung moment and modifications,themes and everything else is alot easier to find then for the hero. which belongs to my wife by the way. i recently rooted her hero with the one click root app, which is genius by the way, and this rom was the first rom i installed for her phone. she absolutely loves it. battery life is ridiculously awesome. charged it up all the way and didnt have to plug it back in for two days, thats crazy! anyways she is really looking for a nice theme to go with it. any suggestions? thanks to everyone at xda for all their help and thanks to the dev. of this rom, awesome job!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skndeep102:
I've used themes that work for fresh 2.1.2 and up and have had good luck with them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] strayduck:
So I've been running this ROM for a few weeks and have a few more things to toss out there:

Battery life has been absolutely excellent. I ran a very slow "screen off" profile with SetCPU for a while but have settled on an over/underclock catch-all of 710/480 "on demand" which has been leaving me with 40% battery by midnight after a day of moderate use which is all one could ask for.

I agree with the posters who have mentioned a battery's physical lifespan; Once your battery starts to go downhill it goes quick. I have also had very poor luck buying cheap/generic batteries with "higher capacity" than the originals; for things like phones and cameras I tend to buy replacements from the manufacturer. For laptops I've actually had great luck with fastmac and owc as replacements for Apple batteries, but that is another forum topic elsewhere…

Next, I have a few more visual nits for nfinitefx. These are probably more "9 patch" things but just in case they weren't already on your radar…

hausinteractive.com/images/xda/browser-vortex.jpg shows pinching of the progress bar in the browser

hausinteractive.com/images/xda/power-widget.jpg shows the slightly odd way the widget highlights when clicking.

Speaking of Graphics: Anyone have a screen capture (not taken from a camera but from the source like a phone or android emulator) of the NFX boot screen?

A Note about JIT: I've been running JIT and have been experiencing regular reboots roughly every 1.5 days. Always something different that triggers it which makes me think it's some kind of memory limit being slowly worked toward and hit.

I'm also using apps2sd and have never had anywhere near the "130-150MB" internal memory free that I'm supposed to. I know apps2SD is working properly as I installed a boatload of apps that wouldn't formerly fit on my phone and the internal memory readout did not change. Not sure if the internal memory and JIT reboots are related but here is this week's reboot log which includes both:

Monday pm: 1 reboot during Google Navigation trip (1 hour in) 116MB free

Wednesday am: 1 reboot during SMS message composition, 113 MB free

Thursday pm: - 1 reboot during menu -> settings -> software, 100MB free

Saturday am: 2 reboots, one during email composition, 99MB free

In response I:

cleared /cache/dalvik-cache

cleared /data/dalvik-cache

rebooted phone

result: internal memory the same 99MB but seems to be holding steady.

I'm going to run JIT for another week and see if the reboots continue, then will run without it the following week and see what kind of difference it will make.

My wife also has an HTC Hero but I'm not NFX-ing her until mine is 100% rock solid. I can say with the ROM, overclock and JIT it's almost like they aren't even the same phone, which makes me sad to try a week with the speed ratcheted down (as I'd almost rather live with the reboots than give up the speed that I now have)

More later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] strayduck:
So I was talking about speed in my last post. Here is a before-and-after between my wife's and my Hero. Difference is much more striking than I had realized!

Wife's (rooted only) HTC Hero 2.1:

lots of questions

hey everyone, need some help.

im not really sure what deox or odex means, so im not sure which one to download. also, how does the apps2sd work on this rom?

sorry if it sounds repetitive, the search this thread setting isnt working for me. plus i am in class, so hard to search through 200 pages worth. thanks everyone for help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pyovue:
umm, since search is disabled, ill just post if it hasnt been asked already, but i just noticed that everytime i take a picture, it reboots my phone. I can take it, but when it tries to save the picture, its just freezes for like 2mins then reboots. any ideas? thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
this is all explained on the first post of this thread I would start there :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] general_jimbo:
I get about 1/2 that speed, but my phone hates JIT so I guess that is to be expected. This is by far the best sense ROM, imho.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Just a heads-up, if that .784 score is typical for your wife's phone, then there's something seriously wrong with her phone. My wife's phone isn't even rooted, and she's getting high 1.5's (close to 1.6).

Your phone's score of 4.398 is typical of what you should be reading if you're overclocked and running JIT.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] strayduck:
odex is for stock themes ("faster"). deox if you want to customize ("slower"). After installing deox I realized that the Sense UI is all I really wanted but those who have run both haven't seemed to notice any tangible speed differences.

re apps2SD: presuming you have a "fast enough" (class 6 is recommended) SD card I think it runs great once it is set up -- haven't noticed any lag with anything loading from the SD card including games (angry birds, raging thunder, etc.) and it is a breath of fresh air having enough room to actually install all the apps I want.

I did have a hell of a time getting it set up right as ROM Manager and my Ubuntu both kept failing or leaving me with a "corrupted" card. 6th time is the charm!!!

I used this as a starting point for formatting my SD card: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVK-tJe8pXE&

Note that you'll lose everything on the card so be sure to back up the contents of your FAT32 partition if you want to copy anything back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Where are you trying to add the folder if your talking about on your sd card just access the card via your computer then go into the media folder and create a folder called photos problem solved
[Hero CDMA Android Development] strayduck:
I don't think you need a folder to "stream" music. If by stream you mean stream from the internet you would download an app such as Pandora from the market and voila: streaming music.

(others streaming services include Slacker and last.fm)

GMote is an app that is said to be good at streaming your iTunes from your computer to your phone, but I haven't used it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
I guess we need more info on what you mean by streaming if you just want to store music on your sd card and access it from a music app on your phone then yes create a music folder inside your media folder and you will be good to go
[Hero CDMA Android Development] strayduck:
Wouldn't your built-in media player already have one?

I guess if you're formatting your card from scratch you will be taking your media player's existing folder away, which lived on the top level of the card and is simply named: Music
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
It should but he is not exactly giving us a whole lot of information to go off of which is why most response's are pretty short do to the lack information being provided but yes there should be a default folder but since he is asking how to make one that leaves me to believe his has been deleted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] killacammiami:
how do u enable lwp ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What are you actually trying to do? If you're more specific, we could help better :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
nfinitefx45 I think in the next update it would also be cool if the battery circle icon was blue as well and then switched to red when it gets low on power :) again keep up the amazing work this is just a feature request if possible no biggie either way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
LOL, well it is something I will think about if anything I can make that an addon
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Ok well in that case I take back all the bad things I said about you j/k :) keep up the good work my friend
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Namtaru:
Concerning the default clock and weather animations....

I know that in order to disable the weather animations you need to remove the clock and re-add it and select "disable full screen animations"... however this setting seems to get completely ignored as every time i turn on my screen after being off for a bit the weather animations persist.

It does this both on mine and my girlfriends Hero running the deodexed rom with no custom themes or anything.

Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aman1127:
Im not new to the flashing game by any means but this is the only rom I cant flash. It always gets stuck in bootloop.

I like amon ra recovery. Thats the culprit right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Never used amon ra recovery so I couldn't say for sure but easy way to find out would be to download rom manager and install clockwork mod recovery and then try flashing and if it works then you have your answer :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzy6:
I wiped and then installed and got stuck on the blue video screen that you see when you start the phone. Tried to recover using nandroid but I got nowhere (no MS5 found?). I wiped again and installed damage control again and after much luck my phone booted with it installed. My nandroid refuses to make backups. This is my second flash so I'm fairly new to this but I thought I was doing this right. Any help would be appreciated as I would like to switch but just don't want to mess up my phone.

edit ~

Followed this step for step but am still stuck on the blue circle when booting up.

I am back on damage control, with everything wiped. Everything seems to be OK except I have no network (3g/evdo/1x) connection and there is no network symbol on the taskbar. Only my wi fi will connect. I know this is all over the place, but any help is appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Rizzy6 I would maybe try going back to the latest Sprint RUU and starting the process all over. Use Universal Androot to gain root access since it does work on the latest Ruu then install Rom Manager so you can flash Clockwork Mod and then follow the steps I have listed and see if that helps other then that I'm not sure what else to tell you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
You say you keep getting stuck on the blue circle during boot...how long are you waiting? Be patient...that blue screen can persist for 5 minutes or more during the first boot. Try waiting at least 12 minutes before deciding that you're stuck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
agree if the eye is moving then the phone is working. I hate wating so i put the phone in the other room and play MW2 and come back after i am done with a few rounds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tlower01:
I had the same problem. You can try backing up your sd card to your computer, re-format it and re-install rom. After Rom is re-installed copy everything back to your sd card. Don' t know what causes it the bootloop, but this is what works for me when I have this problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
How to get screen to stay on during call

In a different rom there was a setting to keep the screen on and from blanking out during a phone call. Is there any sort of setting like that on this, if not any app suggestions or tasker profiles any one knows of? This was great, especially on calls where you have to go through long menus and have to keep using the keypad, its kind of a pain to have to keep "waking it up" in order to input a response. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
You can use the menu button to "awake" the screen for using the phone's keypad.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] massia:
I added the rom to some friends and to my wife they all loved it and have no problims with it , and i have been useing it for almost 2 weeks and never better :)

thanx nfinitefx45

i wonder lol what els you can update to this Rom for real ...

great job :))))
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
Anybody have reboot problems? Cause I sure do. Its happen when I was uploading files to my SD.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzy6:
Thanks all for your help. I flashed and re-tried it one more time, this time waiting a little longer and it booted up with no problems. The rom is fast and sleek! Great stuff.

However, I can't find how to do steps 9 and 10. Where is the update.zip file for my sd card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
You have to download the two kernels and then rename each of them update.zip and then flash them just like you would a rom but do them one at a time I have reposted and updated copy of my instructions hopefully this will be a little more clear for ya.

1) Install ROM Manager via the Market then from within the app install Clockwork Mod Recovery

2) Back up your files you need off your SD Card and then format your SD Card via your computer

3) Copy over just the ROM update.zip and nothing else to your SD Card

4) Boot into Recovery Mode

5) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

6) Wipe Cache Partition

7) Go to Advance and then Wipe Dalvik Cache

8) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to install the ROM

9) After the ROM is installed reboot the phone and deleted the update.zip file of your SD Card

10) Download the 691 Kernel and rename it update.zip and copy the file over to your SD Card and reboot into Recovery Mode

11) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to flash the 691 Kernel, once complete reboot the phone and delete the file update.zip from your SD Card

12) Download the Zen Anykernel and rename it update.zip and copy the file over to your SD Card and reboot into Recovery Mode

13) Select Apply SD Card:Update.zip to flash the Zen Anykernel, once complete reboot the phone and delete the update.zip file from your SD Card

14) At this point the phone should be good to go, you can transfer back over any music, photos, save game data etc that you need back on to your SD Card and you should be all set.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Namtaru:
On top of the issue i'm having above, i'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the issue below

Randomly when I hit the home key it will have to reload the entire launcher, which is really annoying when im in a program and i hit home to make a phone call and i have to wait like 20 seconds

edit: both issues were related to widgetlocker
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Glad to see you got it figured out :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzy6:
Thanks for clearing it up for me, bdizzel. My Hero has never been this fast and polished! Thanks again nfinite for the great rom and keep up the great work!

edit ~ I've noticed that I cannot change my notification or phone ringtone. No menu appears but the "ok" and "cancel" buttons show.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
No problem glad to help, what menu are you going to when you are trying to change your ring tone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzy6:
I'm going through settings --> sound & display --> phone ringtone

The menu appears but there is nothing listed and I can't scroll down. Just the OK and Cancel buttons appear.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
What if you go to personalize and then default ringtone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rizzy6:
This works. I then went back and was able to access the choices through the sound & display menu for both ringtone and notifications. Quick fix. Thanks again! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Sweet glad to hear that worked
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oakleyrdc:
I flashed this Rom last night, and now adfree won't work. It says "failed to remount system partition read only". Can anyone help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] massia:
Dose anyone have problems with the camera couse I do .. got frozen few times and won't turn on till I reboot the cell phone .

Can someone helpe about this please ..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
I have not had this problem my self, would need a little bit more information for us to try and help you like is it only freezing on the camera or camcorder as well? What kernel are you running the stock one that came with the rom by default or did you flash another one? Did you completely wipe your phone and format your sd card from your computer before install? Are you using the stock camera app or a third party app or do you have any third party camera apps installed? Please be specific about the steps you have taken and the exact issue you are having so we can try to help you. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] massia:
i i wipe everything before installed the rom i just downloaded the rom the way it is i didnt change the kernel and what happend it goes like the scramble chanals on TV lol and then i press home it goes to the home page i try to turn on the camera it doesnt open the camcord as well doesnt work till i reboot then it goes back .

it happend to my wife cell phone yesterday as well and i thought its just my phone but i dont think it is ..

it doesnt happen like when the 1st open the camera you open it few times in the same minut or when you turn it on for long time for more than a minut ..

the kernel version is :

2.6.34-GoDmOdE-Darcgsguzz-OC

that what it says on the Kernel version

thanx for concern :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
I know you probably don't want to hear this but I would wipe and reload the phone as I have been running this ROM since release and have never had that issue. I have posted a step by step instruction on the previous page along with the two Kernels nfinitefx45 recommends using I would try that and see if it helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] massia:
thanx i will try that and let you know ...

what kernel are you useing your self , and do you recommend for me to format the sd card before reinstall the rom or no ?

and if there something els that i need to do if that didnt work ..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
Anyone have the one that comes for evo? I did a search but can only find N1 or Hero ones, don't wanna install that on my evo for fear that it might mess things up.

edit: just tried installing it and it said it could not install soo ya.. defintly need one that comes with the evo..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ho4x:
It's odex'd, so unless you are rooted and can push with ADB you aren't going to be able to install it. Both the apk and odex are in the rar. Even then, I don't know if it will work without a proper install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokedroid:
i hate to show my inexperience, but could someone explain how i would push this?

Also, is there a way get this to work with a "senseless" rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starrscreem:
Push???

what do u mean???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
Do you mean a ROM where you removed sense or an AOSP Rom?

If you just removed sense, it should work.

If you have an AOSP ROM, you can't use it, but the market has some similar apps.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Löki:
I'm sure the answers are posted here someplace but my search skills suck. And I can't find the info. So here are my questions.

Trying to deside whether or not to root. And was wondering if anyone has benchmarks for a stock Droid compared to the diferant levels of overclocking?

Also wondering if I would be able to get the payed apps I have now on my phone back loaded considering alot of them are listed as privet and they will not let me back them up.?.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] aerdely:
Not sure about the benchmarks but I also have paid apps. The market saves your information andcafter rooting you can go back to download section of market and should say purchased next to apps you've bought and allow you to install them again. I've switch phones, roms and etc many times but they're always available again in download section. Also if you root and install froyo, it backs them up to your account and re-installs them automatically every time you flash a new rom. Just make sure you use the same info when setting up the phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] n1ghtwish:
I wanted to comment on your benchmark question...

This alone should influence you to root your Droid. I am running CyanogenMod 6.0 Froyo with ChevyNo1 1200mhz ULTRA low voltage kernel. My battery life is fantastic given the CPU frequency and my phone linpacks at 18-20mflops. I know this is not a very realistic benchmark test but in comparison, a stock Droid will throw out about 6-8mflops.

What I really want to show you, however, is the result from Quadrant, which runs a CPU and graphics benchmark test and shows you a graph comparing your phone to other phones like the Droid (stock) and Nexus One and other popular Android phones.

Give me 5 minutes and I'll have a screenshot up (just transfering some pics)

Okay, look at the screenshot below... my Droid is the yellow bar at the top, and the stock Droid is the second one from the bottom. BIGGGG difference in performance!

Also, aerdely is right about the paid apps... they'll show up in your market so you can re-download them.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Löki:
I know there's lots of options but I have to ask. What's the most stable 2.2 out there? One with everything working (wifi Bluetooth and all) .

I'm not into the whole changing roms ten times a week thing. Mostly because after setting up apps and preferances on 4 replacement phones over the past 6 months .

I hear 2.2 backs up and redownloads apps, but does it also remember icon setup and app preferences?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kalala:
Check this out: http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-by-device/

The Droid is the fastest phone, save for that Samsung at number 2 overall. The Droids seem to be analogous to "dynoqueens" in the car world because I doubt those 54 MFLOPS devices are running at a stable temperature. So they're just overclocked and maxed out, though for only a few seconds just to get that number.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

The Droid is a very capable device, though. 30 MFLOPS seems to be consistent and is a very good benchmark number for a phone that is about nine months old.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] n1ghtwish:
those are fake numbers... guaranteed
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] luniz7:
With 2.2 and a 1.3ghz kernel you might see 20 mflops
