Revoked rewrote the lights driver himself, and if you drain battery down to red warning, then plug it in, it lights up green rather than red.

It's an *ahem* new feature introduced unintentionally. Not a bug, it's a feature :D I will ask him about it today if he's about

Any danes out there who might have the time help me with getting a proper keyboard with a danish dictionary for this ROM. I tried seaching this thread for clues and found a french guy with the same problem, wanting a french dictionary ofcourse :), and he got the advice to remove vlingo, so I tried removing vlingo, but that only resulted in going from having a english dictionary to no dictionary at all :(

Everything under Settings -> Language and Keyboard is set to danish.

Please help me, really wanna love this rom but this and the flashing led is driving me nuts :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I would recommend buying smart keyboard pro. I use it in French for 6 month and it is just perfect. The author BTW is always listening to demands, bug reports or new features requests.

And if you regularly flash new roms, with Titanium backup, your personnal dictionnary stay from rom to rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Hi,

I'm not Danish, but close :) Have you tried Scandinavian Keyboard? It's pretty good, and free.

I'm a Dane to, and I'm using the stock HTC_IME that came with this ROM, at it works great with danish dictionary.

Hi there ! i put new TP- Link router today ..When i set password in router wap/wap2/psk mobile just cant connect though it .. i:confused:t just shows authentications and then fails and says disconnected .. later i reset router and remove password .. then i was able to connect with full bars but i can't open market or any other websites in my phone..:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] decal wren:
This forum is for bugs with the ROM, I have not read of any other WiFi issues so I suggest you check your new router with another Rom. Personally I have had problems on official ROM connecting to WiFi under some encryption methods.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Good point:D

You only mention problems after using a new router!

So did it work ok with the old router?

If you put a new carburettor on your car and it fails to start you don't start wondering what's wrong with the battery:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
Had an epic fail last night was idiotically faffing around with sd card partitioining in recover mode and ended up wiping sd card!!! FML etc etc wasnt recently backed up.

Apart from obvious annoyance iv plugged sd card back onto computer and it says there is a 6.29 gb capacity which is wrong as its an 8gb card. I assume this was to do with the partitioning so can anyone tell me how to restore it to closer to 8gb (ideally) without having to backup/ risk wiping sd card. thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Oh no.

Right, you will NEED to backup the card, as you need to repartition it, which will remove all data from it.

Go to recovery, and repartition, using 256MB of EXT (if you use the "better" A2SD method) and 0 swap. Then you will have about 7.5 GB free on the main card, and 256 MB for apps (and obviously the little loss due to the way capacity is advertised).

And remember, recovery ain't a fun place to play about in ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
Thank you I will attempt to follow also LOL seem to have deleted any home applications so i cant do nything on phone. I vaguely remember installing through ADB mount as an option but i dont really understand.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] screwhead89:
A big thanks to the developers of this ROM!

It's great! Only need to set up the partition for the Apps2SD! Extremely fast and battery usage stayed the same as whilst on the modaco 2.1 r5 rom!

The description under the title reads "You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network...."

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No worries. Check your spam folder, and if not, use the admin contact form and i will just tell it to ignore activation of email address.

I can't find Adobe Flash on the market using this ROM. Is there a reason for this or is there something I have to do to get it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Yep only one thing to do

Remove this rom and flash a

sense

rom;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, install VillainROM 12 for flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GangsterDeep:
Great

Far the best ROM for the Hero. Thanks a lot!

I have one question. Is it possible to view my SIM contacts, or save to SIM instead of google.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
yeah you can view it also & you can store them on your SIM Card also..

Go to contacts > Menu > display options > do only contacts with phone &

Download app called contact2SIM From the market & you can save and delete your SIM Contacts as well as your phone contacts .. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GangsterDeep:
Thanks for the quick respons.

When i go to Contacts, menu, display options. I do not have an option for only viewing SIM contacts.

And when i tap menu > new contact. I can only add Google contacts.

I'll try contact2SIM. Thanks anyway.

Tried to install the latest LauncherPro plus on my phone using this rom and installation failed. Any ideas why?

Only got an apk of it.

Thnks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
yeah i had the same problem. Im not sure if this is the most efficient way of doing it, but it worked for me:

- Get the “Titanium Backup” app from the market

- Get a copy of ADW Launcher

- Have the apk for Launcher pro plus on your SD Card ready

- Install ADW Launcher via ASTRO file manager (or equivalent)

- Open Titanitum back up, scroll down to Launcher Pro (it should be coloured red). Tap it once, and you’ll have the option to uninstall.

- Install Launcher Pro Plus apk via ASTRO file manager (or equivalent)

- Uninstall ADW Launcher.

:D

apn problem

First off, thanks for a great rom.

I am having a problem with the apn settings.

Editing an existing one/Creating a new from scratch makes the same result: They disappear from the list.

By trial and error, it is when changing/creating the mcc and setting it to 242, that it disappears completely when either saving and/or going back.

Any idea how to solve this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Edit apns-conf.xml inside the zip, resign it, and flash with a data wipe. That will fix it :) You will need to enter your carrier into the zip though of course.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moonroy:
An easier way is to download some apn manager program and just wipe the apn list.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Good suggestion btw :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ulyan:
Guys I need your help. I wanted to install the latest version of car home that google made public for 2.2 froyo. But as usual titanium-root manager combo was neeeded to remove and reinstall the app. But I did something wrong. I also deleted the carhomeluncher.apk . I somehow managed to add the icon via the luncher pro but I would like to have that apk back.

If someone is kind enough to share it ... :D

PD: Another strange problem is that I cannot install dolphin hd browser themes. Strange.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Download the latest google apps update from my Floyo 1.0 page (see my signature) at the bottom of the first post - updated yesterday :). You can either flash it as is, and it will update the versions of all google apps you have on your system partition (not sure how that will behave if you already have updates installed on your "internal memory" but I doubt it will cause problems) or you can extract only the apk's you want from the zip file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
Should we expect for a new release based on 2.2.1?

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
FV isn't directly based on Google plain AOSP, but rather Cyanogenmod 6. As such, I believe Cyanogenmod have updated from FRF to FRG, which means that the next version should be based on that (2.2.1)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
CM synced with 2.2.1 ;)

What i don't understand, when Ninpo/Hacre said he think he found the battery drain bug, why he don't fix it in the CyanogenMod Source (or need he more validation first?)

I hope we will see 1.6/2.0 very soon because i need more battery life and FV is still on of the best roms out there :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrbubba999:
They stated when v1.5 was released, that there won't be another one until 2 is ready (other than serious bug fixes, which I don't think there has been any releases)

Sense ui

Hi everybody. I installed this rom and just love it!!

I tried ti install a theme and it didn't work. I put the zip file in the sdcard went into recovery and flashed the file but when I got back into the system and the theme didn't take???? Am I doing something wrong???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That sounds correct. What theme was it you flashed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thedan55:
I tried shens theme and the sens ui 2 theme but nothing changed

After a month:

had to pull out battery for ~7 times. Happens on different occasions, but mostly when using camera. Just can't close it, no matter what. Sometimes after I close it I'm unable to start camera again(unable connect to device or something like that).

Though no one believes, I'm still pretty sure there is somewhere a memory leak:D It was creepy to have only 30 mb of free ram with no apps running after a week with no reboot. It was extremely slow(but since I just reed books with it that was ok for a time).

Anyway, great job, devs! I'm looking forward to new version in next month:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snake logan:
I had the same camera problem. I found modified (older) camera and gallery(2d) apks in a cyanogen thread somewhere that I copied over the stock ones. I'll find them for you as soon as I get home if you want.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Ulyan, websearch 'car home carlauncher' or similar and you will find soon the apk. Maybe on nexus forums as well, can't remember rightly but got it by one of the methods above a few days ago

I had the battery drain too but I found so far that if I run on demand for on screen and conservative off screen in cpu speed it extends the battery life by quite a bit. I was also having a random reboot everyday that seems to have gone away too....

I'm now having a SMS issue with this ROM. It will allow me to send SMS but not receive them. My SIM works fine in another handset. T-Mobile UK are "aware" of this problem with the G2, I didn't mention that I'd rooted & installed this ROM, and they allowed me to upgrade early to a Desire HD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaYs3r:
Hi,

Since I've installed this ROM, the sound is distorted in calls, I've already installed another ROM and Radio, but the noise persists.

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange... I presume you tried changing the volume control level?

Failing that, flash a stock ruu and check if it persists. If so, send it back for a service as it could be hardware...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaYs3r:
Yes, i've changed volume level, but the noise is still there.

It can be hardware, but it's strange the problem began when I installed this ROM :(

If I install a stock ROM, will I loose Root access?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Yes

Check here for different stock images:

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?1876-Stock-GSM-HTC-Hero-2.1-Update-Files-here!

If you install the rooted stock rom, you wont lose root. It wont be 100% stock, but pretty close.

If you're sending it in for repair, you should go with 100% stock.

You can just root it when you get it back again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Forgot about those links :) Use stock rooted.

If sending for warranty, use an actual RUU.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaYs3r:
Thank you both,

I'll try that :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaYs3r:
One more question:

If I

- do a NAND+ext backup

- wipe everything

- install the stock rom

can I then restore the NAND and everything will be like before, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
yes, you can do that fine and restore it. If you use an RUU to return it, you would need to re-root it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
It's been over a month now since we had an actual update.

Is this Rom being worked on, or not? CM has moved on by a lot and we haven't received any of the new features yet.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, we're well aware :) But yes, we have our plans. There's method in our madness ;)

The first post said it would feel like "the end". But we are waiting on interesting things happening upstream :)

So you're not abandoned :) I'm using this ROM every day, on my main (and only phone), and I'm still loving it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Using it for my one and only phone myself, and even though I'm awaiting updates, it's a great rom, and loving it :)

Looking forward to what's next though :D Waiting patiently.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Yeah, me too. In fact, I think this has been the longest I've been with a rom (including the stock rom that came with the phone.)

Come to think about it, this is version 1.5 of Froyd, so maybe our heros are destined to linger in 1.5's.... :p

But yeah, I wouldn't say no to some new features from upstream.

I love this ROM, the main reason why I won't move on from this is because of the battery life! It's amazing, I work 12 hour shifts and its off charge from 6am and it's lasted till 4am the next morning!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
I'm curious what sort of usage is required to get to a flat battery in under 24 hours?

Are you surfing, playing music games or simply making phone calls for 12+ hours
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
Mine never lasts 24 hours, even if I hardly use it. It uses about 4-5% per hour on standby. I have never been able to isolate what is causing the battery drain and have tried all kinds of power saving tips.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] milko9000:
Any reason why said plans are so secretive? Or don't you know what the upstream happenings will be either? It'd be nice to have something to look forward to!

I've moved onto Floyo now - Froyd got really unstable in general use for me after a while. It may happen with Floyo too after the same amount of time but so far so good at least.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Wow that sucks:eek:

Currently i'm 48 hours from a charge and 50%+ battery left which is about average for me on any Froyo

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
if you are asking about SMSC number, it's in testing menu(*#*#4636#*#*)>phone info.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The reason is that I don't know what is happening upstream (don't follow it personally). Nothing secretive, but I don't really remember everything that happens.

But we won't release something less awesome than usual, so don't worry ;) due to that we don't want to give impressions of time etc, as then people just keep pushing for release dates, and that just annoys everyone involved...

Hope that answers it for you
