It can't be modded, it's like the Google earth app in the fact that it requires instructions our processors can't execute. Think of it like trying to run a 64-Bit app on a 32-Bit processor, no amount of modding will fixing, the whole thing needs recompiling with different binaries
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
so what happened to this mysterious new ROM?? ;) I see villainrom back up but no new ROM...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] regisprigent:
This rom is so good ! Merci !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I am about to flash it and test it :)

Its URL was leaked on IRC, maybe deliberately, then we will proceed on as usual. Can't promise time scales, as per our policy of not giving release schedules, but I am sure it will come as soon as it can :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Right I've updated the OP with KNOWN ISSUES for 1.2.x. Please stop asking the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

If people can't be bothered reading the thread I at least hope they can be bothered to check the OP.

FroydVillain 1.3.0 will release soon (tm). When I wrote that post I was hoping the site would return as normal but it hasn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Take your time guys, you are all doing a great job! :) Looking forward to 1.3!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Ok, writing the release notes for FroydVillain 1.3.0. Give me some peace and quiet. :p

Executing peace and quiet mode: successful.
Blocking all incoming posts: complete.
Launching awesome loop for new release notes: please wait....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
Oh, two more things.

1. Could someone confirm working GPS. I could'nt fin any satellites (not to mention getting fix)

2. Anyone using Beautiful Widgets weather widget? It doesn't display weather icon for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pharrisee:
Beautiful widgets working fine here. How are you setting the location for it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenkainen:
Works. The first time gps (or Google maps) rebooted my phone when trying maps, but now it seems to works as well as always.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
The voice implementation provided by Google in the mdpi package is incomplete. We're waiting for a fix. It's not our fault.

GPS and Beautiful Widgets working fine for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mach2005:
Working with very fast fix!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marvi0:
Yeh any feedback please on battery life would be more than welcome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Well as usual, I left my Hero on overnight, with weather updates using GPS, email sync and Facebook/Twitter sync enabled.

Returned this morning to over 90% battery remaining. Seems ok so far!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marvi0:
Cheers buddy all flash her now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] azel:
Pretty smooth and fast ROM. Unfortunately exchange sync isn't working, which is pretty much a showstopper for me. Going to reflash and let you know.

//edit: wiped everything again and reflashed the rom. set up the exchange account right after finishing the initial set-up et voila: works like a charm.

awesome!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Might be a bit early for reliable battery results he only released it about 12 hours ago:cool:

Mine on safe kernel and lightish use is 88% after 10 hours
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coolness57:
Haha i read the post and find the link^^

There is still no solution to the problem "ERROR WHILE SEARCHING FOR NETWORKS"? :(

Otherwise great job, and thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
I confirm Beautiful Weather working, I don't know why I had "hid weather icon" checked.

I also confirm I started to see satellites (don't know why I couldn't earlier), I'll later check catching fix

So I'm left with:

1. Should I wait for rebuilds or just use current ones?

2. there is no *ding* sound when connecting USB cable, should it be like that?

3. setCPU (I've check the lastest ver) only shows "0" in "Time in State" at "Info"

4. anyone with Missed Reminder or Handent SMS can confirm working notification LED? (the top one, not trackball LED)

Btw. I confirm gallery bug when photo get borked when rotated and one need to click zoom in/out to fix it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jimbob0i0:
Just a few things that bump into the current release notes....

Chrome to Phone wasn't installed.

Newer Voice Search on market

Newer Titanium on market

Very happy to have a fully working Froyo and a great release!

After this never going back to SenseUI again - thinking of purchasing Beautiful Widgets based on what people have been saying... have donated for titanium and villain... and might do so for launcherPro soon... really liking the launcher... hard finding what plus will give tho... the launcher pro site is a bit... sparse... :)

Good luck on porting 2.6.34 - look forward to seeing what you can wring out this device before I buy a new Android phone next year ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
We're working on this and have identified a possible fix.

Yeah I dunno how the hell I missed Chrome2Phone, sorry folks.

Plus gives widget support for his own widgets and they're coming along quite nicely. I bought it. I bought BWidgets too, they blow the Sense clock out of the water, truly a beautiful clock widget. I use the small variant, more room on home screen, still a wonderful looking clock.

Use current kernels for now.

I can't remember when I last had a USB ding on Froyo, on Hero or Nexus.

I haven't fixed the cpufreq stats yet.

I said in 1.2.0 release notes that the trackball notifies for notifications, LED notifies for batteries. Using the Lox fix turned out to be buggy and relies on proprietary libs from Eclair, which isn't how we want to continue working forward. Better to have a flashing trackball light with Froyo code, than continuing to fudge Eclair libs in, as that is heavily stunting further development for Froyo on Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coolness57:
Ohh, fine! Thank you for your job and quick reply!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] art_sn00p:
Is there any way to recalibrate touch screen? Sensitivity of last line of the screen is lost after flashing. It is very difficult to press any of the ADW buttons.

Is it time to go to service for screen replacement? Or is it just a software problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
I've been really hesitant to shift of of Villain ROM 12 for ages now because it was so perfect, but after flashing this last night I'm so glad I've gone for this. Seems just as solid so far and also a bit smoother. Thanks very much for all the hard work that went into this.

I haven't come across any bugs in my use of it yet but I'll be sure to report anything I notice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
facebook sync

Great app as always from you.

i can't seen to syc my contacts with my facebook. (get the pics by contact names).

i had it on the 2.1 Roms from you. Flashed a few 2.2 roms from you but havent had facebook sync. didnt really bother me untill now as i will be stick to this peach of a rom for a while :)

anybody know how to sync facebook?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
This rom is great so far, but

After restoring my apps and messages, ive been getting force closes of gapp and the google framework, does anyone have any ideas whats causing it?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
On my clean install of 1.2.1 (I like to keep around what you guys are running) I just added my facebook account and I have pictures on all my contacts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
What apps did you restore and how? With what backup program?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
when i go to accounts and press add facebook account nothing happens. just goes back to the account screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biersoeldner:
This rom is really great! THX for your hard work duds!

But i have one problem. When i reactivate the screen, the screen stays black. The HW-Buttons start glowning. I had to tab the hw-buttons serverl times to get the display working. Have everbody else this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
You need to increase your min clocks to solve waking issues
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
twitter sync works fine. when i clikc on facebook though it just goes back to the accounts page :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biersoeldner:
Now i had only 4 freq for choice. How i get more freq? Or ist this normal? I had the 19-614 kernen. In VR12 i choice dor sleep 234 to 356 and it works greate. But now i do not have this freq.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
+1 on that

My CPU runs fine at 748MHz but wouldn't it be better for battery to CPU scale between more steps than just very low and very high ?

Most kernels I had allowed at least 4 steps between lowest and highest clocking.

You know, CPU would probably be happy in many scenarios with just ~500 when ~200 is too low and it doesn't need whole power consuming 748

I'd even say 245MHz is very often too low which results in running 748MHz almost all the time.

P.S. thanks for other answers Hacre
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
I believe the CPU would use more power jumping through the different frequency steps than it would just using one high and one low
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
yeah I should try and see if another clock will slide in under 729/748 without causing switching issues.

It's worth noting though, that while there's a school for always running at the slowest available speed to save battery, there's another school of thought for getting the job done as quickly as possible then clocking back down. Same number of voltage switches, but less time running fully ramped.

If I'm honest, unless you're into games or have a lot of widgets running, 652 or 691 should be plenty for anybody.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nafe:
Regarding missing voice actions - I know Ninpo has said that it's a Google fault, but from what I can tell it's simply that it's not available for UK english voice recognition yet. If you switch it over to US voice recognition then all of the new actions show up. One of which is still faulty - the set alarm - but the other new ones such as "listen to" and "email blah" work fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jirachi:
I love this ROM, thanks a lot!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
I agree with 691 being enough but VanillaEclair has somehting like: ~19 - ~122 - ~245 - ~500 - ~600 - ~ 690 with on demand scalling and everyone praise how good battery life it has.

I checked setCPU Info tab and in fact it really uses most of those clockings in between.

Results are great so I don't think clocking switching is more power demanding than running full power most of the time.

With VanillaEclair and similar usage I had about 5.5days (yeah I turn of all radios and data except 3G when I don't use it and bearly talk) and with FroydVillain it looks like 2.5 days top
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jot12341:
Hi is anyone else having problems w cpuspeed? I have the 352-729 kernel and it fails to set the cpu to 729 after wake...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
CPUSpeed didn`t wakeup!

Flashed 352/691Mhz kernel and set screenOn 691MAX/691MIN and screenOff 352/352 and enabled this at CPU settings.

But at "current speed" it only shows 352Mhz.Tried reboot,but still the same!

Then with Rootexplorer I installed the CPUSpeed app from Froyd Villain 1.1.9 over the old version,

don`t works,the same problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jot12341:
Yep exact same problem here. Any1 know a solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hatim:
I've been using Cronos Droid 0.2 which has now been banned from this forums. It's working perfectly for me so far. How does this ROM compare to that one? Any differences?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rejj:
I've had similar issues...

They only seemed to go away when I had screen on min and screen off max overlapping...

Hope that makes sense..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
The voice search is cool and is working for text, email but I can't get it to work with the "listen to: command for my music. It advises me to download an app that supports the command???? Any suggestions? Do I need a different music player as default, and if so which one??

Still playing with the new rom. I like it :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
how's 2% (went from 100% to 98%) after 9 hours of sleep.

ahhh. nine hours of sleep, I wish. 9 hours of phone sleep, 6 hours of my sleep.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
mine was in airplane mode or whatever it's called overnight. I do that when I'm sleeping. hence my 2% drain.

10% overnight with all running is really good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
Which kernel ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
from my experience with this rom, it's more like EVEN "if you're into games or have a lot of widgets running, 691 is plenty."

:-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
isn't that in the release notes?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
they're both great. cronos droid is a little more mature in that it has had very little change made except addition of camera for what, a month now? something like that. I have had fewer issues with it than with any other froyo rom since he released 0.1.0 or whatever it was.

so it really IS still the one that "just works".

But this one is faster :-)

and for me, at the moment, Froyd's doing what I need more than cronos does, but they're both really good.

it's only worth switching though if you need, really need, higher frames per second in demanding games, or find other ways that your phone could just be a little faster.

but cronos is very quick too and hasn't ever let me down.

PS: cronosproject has it's own .org website, hard to figure out at first, but once you do you can ask questions there about it since it's taboo here for at least a month, maybe forever.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
691;352

recommended setup using included cpu controller.

160+ apps installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
VE don't use the same governor we do. You're welcome to use an older kernel with the old crappy ondemand governor if you don't mind losing some of the speed improvements.

Cmon guys the ROM hasn't even been out for 24 hours yet. Try using it normally before cramming the forums with all these questions about battery life. Suck it and see!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
For some reason when I wake up my phone it won't go back to 691Mhz, it stays at 352Mhz.

Screen off 352/352, screen on 691/691.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Can you get a logcat output of going to sleep then waking up?

adb logcat > sleeplogcat.log

Then repeat sleeping then waking up while running this command:

adb shell cat /proc/kmsg > sleepklog.log

Would help track this one down, cheers.

You can also try this while it's asleep, then awake:

Asleep:

ninpo@titan ~/irclogs $ adb shell
# exec bash

localhost cpufreq # ls
affected_cpus scaling_cur_freq
cpuinfo_max_freq scaling_driver

ive tested and i've been able to produce this error multiple times. I don't think its coz of the apps (well it could be, im not certain), but it definately happens when gmail and the google calender are being synced.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hatim:
I went ahead and installed this anyways ;)

Let's see how it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deez18:
After flashing this iteration of froyd, the sound from the call speaker is very fuzzy...I don't know whether this is a hardware or software problem, what do you think?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
That doesn't really answer my question though...

What exactly did you restore and what did you restore them with...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] one_tjc:
have been using this ROM for the past 8 hours and it's been rock solid - very impressed with the performance vs other flavours of froyo!

It would be great if you could leave in the cyanogen settings menu - some very useful tools/tweaks in there
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
thx

yeah, You're right, sorry for b*tchin'

I'll set it using included CPUSpeed for Interactive:

screen on: 246-691

screen off: 123-246

and check how it goes. Then I can always move to 352 based one just in case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I used the donate version of titanium backup 3.4.1 and i restored:

i think that may be it, im just guessing by looking at what was backed up what i think i chose to restore
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I had the same issues, couldn't resolve it so went back to Cronos again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Lol would it not have been faster to disable cpuspeed then throw setcpu on or something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
Still very solid thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
I'm really struggling to replicate this speed switching issue. Tried 352/352 and 652/652 in cpuspeed, sleep, awake, etc etc.

What's the name of the kernel zip file for those having issues? Has anyone tried the stuff I suggested earlier for debugging it? Does the issue go away if you disable cpuspeed and install setcpu?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Now that was worth reading, hillarious!

You people using this ROM: Do you miss Sense? I want to try this ROM, but I'm reluctant because of the lack of sense :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
I used to when I first got my Nexus, but I don't anymore. Since Froyo released, there's been many improvements to alternative launchers. I still sometimes miss how Facebook integrated into contacts on Sense, but that's about it.

Also guys, I've -just- replicated the speed lock issue. Investigating now.

Seems CPUSpeed has a bug, I'll harrass alankila about it. Switch to SetCPU until then guys. You can easily disable CPUSpeed by unchecking the "Enable CPU settings" box.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
I ran sense for 7 months, now it just seems bloated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I had the same issue, installed setcpu and that fixed it. cpuspeed doesn't work very well it seems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
The thing i miss is in the dialer screen you could type the names of people to find them in the list, now you have to scroll through the list to find them. Did anybody find a way to do this? Otherwise so far I don't really mis anything except the htc full screen calendar widget - but i'm sure there's hundreds of free alternatives for that :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Grab nubdial from the market.

If you buy LauncherPro Plus, it has a full screen calendar widget too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rover.prince:
You should use Dialer One form Market it's free and in its preferences u can enable to search by name and number both.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rover.prince:
Nub Dial has issue with executing network service commands which end with * and #.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Goes to show how often I use those, lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rover.prince:
Hey Hacre, while using this Rom I am facing the auto brightness issue. Sometimes when I unlock the screen brightness just don't do the justice, but after locking and then unlocking it again returns the brightness to normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
Just had my first random phone reboot using this ROM. I loaded Google maps and just as it was gathering my location my phone rebooted. I'm on the original Kernel without using CPU speed or anything, could this be why? I also did a full wipe of everything before installing. Anyone else had an issue like this?

I loaded Maps instantly after the reboot and haven't been able to replicate it again yet, but thought I should log the reboot here just in case others experience the same thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rover.prince:
Right but in some places u need to used network service command to find out ur data usage or ur prepaid balance. like *#xxxx# etc here nub dial ignores the # at the end of command.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am also getting this happen to me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
All I can say is...WOW!! ( actually what I said was more like HOLY SH** this is fast!! :p ) I fall into the dkelly category i'm affraid, Titanium restored 118 missing apps last night (must be a Canadian thing, eh? ;) )

Great job Hacre, really, REALLY great job! I've been following the Froyd threads since 1.1.1, and just I just really have to applaud you for all the effort and long nights that you've put in , not only to release this fantastic ROM, but to fix it, and try to cater to every user request that's come along.. not to mention the relese posts in 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 :D I swear I LOL'd all the way through them so hard, my phone fell off my desk LMAO!

Just one little prob...

I wanna buy you a pint, but you've changed your sig you knob! :rolleyes:

Let me know where I can send the beer, alright?? (you must be parched by now ;) )

Thanks for a job well done, and I look forward to more of your releases, and release posts, in the future!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nafe:
From what I can tell, for no reason that I can work out, it doesn't seem to support the standard music app and is designed for searching online radio apps - last.fm, spotify and the like.

edit: Regarding Nubdial - it's pretty good, one irritating thing is holding down the 1 key doesn't bring up voicemail.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
I swear you people are weird. I just shone my super bright retina burning LED flash on my Nexus at my Hero, screen went to full brightness. Turned it off, screen dimmed.

There -is- a delay sometimes. Or it's still a bit buggy, I'll keep checking it.

There is a stability issue on phones outside the USA with maps that occasionally causes reboots. It's being worked on in framework and in kernel space. The 1.3 kernels I'll be releasing tomorrow might help (I've been checking maps on my 1.3 test kernel and not had any issues).

When you guys restore stuff with Titanium Backup -please- make sure you only restore missing apps+data and very specific system stuff that you -know- you need restored, like SMS etc. Titanium Backup grabs everything system related and will restore everything system related if you tell it to. Which will break stuff.

People with GPS problem, please do an adb pull /system/etc/gps.conf

Open in text editor. Are the lines containing XTRA empty or do they have URLs?
