Ok then that seems to be working. Perhaps some app that doesn't want to let your phone sleep or trying to set min freq to 19 when screen off? I tried facebook chat with AIM the other day.. it ate my battery for breakfast! :(

Wonder if there is an easy way to get a log or graph of freq usage. Would make it easier to compare stuff like this.

If you go to manage applications and then to SD card then it will show you what apps there are that have been put on the SD card fat32 partition using the official and crappier method. If you get quick system info pro ( free from the market) you can see how much space you have left on the ext partition. And the two apps you have on the SD fat partition, if you click on move to phone they get moved to the extra partition on your SD card(correct me if I'm wrong)

<rom-compliment-butter-up>

This is a fantastic ROM, have alternated between this and Chronos since the early versions of both. Finally settled on FV, version 1.2.1 was simply orgasmic.

</rom-compliment-butter-up>

<issue-that-may-or-may-not-be-related-to-rom>

I've had quite major stability problems since the hotfix, with massive lag and lock-ups. Looking at the logcat indicates a repeated pattern of errors relating to ANR in launcher pro and some of the widgets I use. I'm not sure if these apps are suddenly problematic or if there's something else going on, such as filesystem placement (using ext2 apps2sd, google version turned off). I've attached the log, any advice on what I could do or what I'm doing wrong would be most appreciated. I've flashed many ROMs before without issue, including all previous versions of froyd, they all worked great, but to be sure I did a clean install and the problem seemed to persist. One other potential cause, I flashed the latest Amon_Ra 1.7 just prior to this, may be related also. Sorry in advance if I've done something really stupid and wasted anyone's time.

When the error isn't happening this ROM flies, first to pass 5mflop and 33fps on my battered old hero, and the planned roadmap looks simply delicious.

The CPUSpeed says i am on 123 MHz but if i execute this

On older versions i can view the current frequentce in this file.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
Hacre, could you give me the process you use for a full battery calibration? Would be much appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikecoffee:
Charge your phone to full, turn everything off ie WiFi gprs ....

Turn off

Turn on and charge to full again

Turn off in to recovery

Wipe batt stats

Re boot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Sure.

No..this will recalibrate the battery stats but not the battery itself.

Drain the battery completely, to the point where you cannot switch the phone back on. Be sure to remove and replace the battery when making sure it won't turn on. Set the screen to the longest timeout, full brightness etc, whatever, to drain as quickly as possible to save time.

Once dead, leave phone switched off and place on charge. For -best- results charge via USB (slower, but a better charge) however a mains charge should suffice.

Once the charge light goes green, leave the phone charging for another hour (green light is not actually fully charged).

When you turn the phone back on, boot straight into recovery. Wipe battery stats.

Boot up, use phone as normal. Try to avoid occasional/short charging and let the battery die once again. Don't do the rapid discharge method as earlier this time though, use the phone normally. Repeat the switched off charge, remembering to leave charging for a further hour after the light goes green.

Boot the phone back up but this time do not wipe stats. Battery is now calibrated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Hey, great work on this awesome ROM, Hacre :)

I flashed 1.2 some days ago, but went back to 1.1.9 due to the camera issue. One thing I did notice was that the wallpaper was all "inverted" and ugly. Why is that? Has it been fixed in the later releases?

Another thing I miss is the ability to skip and pause songs in the splash screen (the one where you swipe to open). Is this something that I can get somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Huh? What version are you running at the moment?

Music controls on lockscreen will be in 1.3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Right now I'm on 1.1.9, but when I try 1.2.1, the wallpaper screws up. You can actually see it in this video... no you can't because I'm not allowed to post links :eek:

Edit: search youtube for "Rooting HTC Hero to FroyoVillain 1.2.1" and look at about 2:03.

Looking forward to 1.3 :-D

Guessing you're referring to the bump mapping I added to the wallpaper.

Anyway, maybe you can send me the original :D

12 hours and battery 67%. Best I have ever had since I had the phone

and not calibrated, just switched off, did a full charge, int morning rebooted and wiped battery stats. NOW, this probably did sweet fa but was the rom itself etc, but considering this is the first time I have ever done it it might just be my initial shock at getting more than 12 hours from the battery or something else, either way its not good to post stuff when under the influence of too many beers. rambling on.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] neospice:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cromki:
kernels have been compiled without CONFIG_TIMER_STATS enabled, so powertop fails. Is this intended? I know the stats collection supposedly _does_ slow down things a bit. And BTW., the newest powertop is 1.13.

Sygic dies soon after starting up. Log excerpt is here [1]. (sorry for not making it hyperlinked, I am not allowed to being a new user). After the last line, a stack trace follows - I may include it too, if needed. Sygic used to work fine here with 1.19. I haven't tried with 1.2.0, so the 1.2.1 was the first one I noticed to have this bug. It still could be Sygic though, because Google maps and GPS Test both work just fine.

Similar issue has also been reported here [2], although it looks a bit different to me. Didn't have time to analyze it thoroughly, yet it may be of some use.

I use 19 - 691 MHz kernel. I used the same frequencies set with 1.1.1, which AFIR used the conservative governor by default. However since 1.19 I experience issues with 19MHz as the minimum: soon (anything between 1-10 minutes) after enabling it, I am unable to lit the screen back after locking. The buttons' leds do lit up, but nothing else. Sometimes, after several tries the screen finally lights up, yet very often with some artefacts displayed. IF I somehow manage to unlock it finally, everything is slow up to the point of complete uselessness. At first I thought that the governor fails to scale up to higher frequencies, but funny enough, after plugging in the USB, I can only recover from this state by changing the governor with proc interface. Manual increasing the speed with "scaling_setspeed" does not have any effect at all, although I am not sure whether the interactive governor actually supports it. Unfortunately I don't remember now whether the frequency change was actually reflected by the scaling_cur_freq value.

What's more, I managed to hang the system completely with non-intensive application usage couple of times. This would rather imply overclocking and not undeclocking issues, but, again my set of min/max frequencies used to work fine with 1.19. _And_, after increasing the min freq one level higher, both issues are gone so far. So I wonder if there is any way to help you with debugging this issue? I am willing to offer some free time during the weekend.

BTW. I understand the restrictions put on for the newbies, but some exceptions could be made nontheless. Like the pastebin, or at least xda-devs forum itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
19MHz causing no issues with one governor, doesn't mean your phone works correctly with that speed.

Interactive expects a certain responsiveness when switching up speeds, if 19MHz is suddenly being slammed, there will be issues. The battery draw differences are negligible, the greatest draws remain due to frequency switching.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zorxd:
There are also no stats about frequency transitions, but the stats directory is still present. Since it can't be used, maybe the whole cpufreq-stats could be removed from the kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cromki:
I am completely unfamiliar with ARM architecture, but with X86 one would expect that his CPU works with lowest stepping no matter the governor selected. But then again it's underclocking what brings the risk and unstability. (or is it? are we using the frequencies that are officially not supported or were intentionally blocked by HTC but otherwise fully supported by the processor itself? Need to reed about it more.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zorxd:
With x86 you can't underclock to 19 MHz. Or if you can, your computer will probably freeze anyways.

Stock HTC kernel never goes below 245 MHz I think. Remember that you are not only reducing a multiplier here but also the FSB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schauol1:

Here it goes again:

Voice dialing over bluetooth is a feature of Android 2.2, but does FroydVillain support it?

Thanks guys.

S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes! I did it to mine.

there's a post about it earlier in this thread I think, try the search tool.

as an update, I used rootexplorer to push the files all just by using the phone, no pc tethering or adb involved (I hate tethering when I can do it all in the phone).

but if you use rootexplorer as I did then make sure any time you put a file into /system/app/ that after you copy the file(s) there you change their permissions to add read and execute on every user (by default the first user in root explorer's list has no permissions which is the one you need to add those too, otherwise the files won't work).

And you have to reboot before anything will work - not sure if that was mentioned in the post earlier in this thread also.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbailey:
When you say 'can't connect to computer' do you mean HTCSync? If so, isn't that because of the lack of sense support which HTC relies upon?

Why do you need to connect to your computer? So email/contact sync? I do that in gmail/cloud.

I assume you can still USB attach and drag files in this rom?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Taijohnsen:
IMO all of these new Froyo ROMs are better than the 2.1's.. I used cronos 0.2 for ages and it was pretty much perfect, very quick, no FC's and good on the battery.

I tried Froyd for a couple of days, but it didn't seem as quick and the gallery bug annoyed me..

Then Cronos got banned, so I gave elelinux 1.4 a whirl, it is pretty good too... So far and fast and stable.. 7am to 4:20pm and still 100% battery... Can't be right, but the ROM is good..

So basically, give it a go... 2.2 is ftw
