Here is the original thread of Galaxy S for MDPI devices, read all there about it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
First of all, thanks to devs for their work!:)

Now, I'd like to ask about memory. For me it seems that there is a leak. When I start my phone, it has 110-120 mb of free memory. After 6 hours after I kill all running apps with task manager, it has only 60 mb. After one day - just 20 mb. Maybe it is caused by some apps, I don't know. Have never had such problems before. Only different app from my previous setups is scrollable bookmarks widget. Will delete it today and see if anything changes.

Fixed. I have removed vlingo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Thanx robocik:)

Couldn't find that the different names of TW3 and Galaxy launcher were confusing me:o

how to disable trackball notification ?

mine is blinking non stop and i cannot seen to find any setting related to it.

any clue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
Have you checked to see if there are any updates for your apps?

I've been searching around the forums trying to find a Chinese IME that supports handwriting that will be compatible with this ROM and have found no definitive answers yet. Does anyone know if such a thing is available?

I know I can get pinyin input IMEs from the Market, but I'd really like to have the handwriting option. It's the only thing I miss from my stock Hong Kong Hero ROM.

Just to say that after 24 hours, texting, calling, gps, music, camera, youtube, facebook, browsing, gaming etc etc I've had no random reboots after installing flykernal 10a (176 - 653 Minmax). Phone feels stable, only issue now is battery life, lucky to get half a day with medium to heavy use, but this was the case before flykernal was installed too.

So for all those experiencing reboots with 1.5, give flykernal a go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slimjimwoods:
just a quick one:

After some time on a call, a 'double tap to unlock' logo appears, but it is beneath the dialer, and the dialer itself stays active. Im sure Ive seen this working elsewhere.

Also, I have Vlingo installed, and Maps will use it's speech engine when I begin a journey, but maybe only once, then Im prompted to install TTS. Is there any way to avoid this and default to Vlingo's voice?

Other than these minor details, this is the best 2.2 ROM that I have used, since I disabled wallpaper scrolling and animations, it is so incredibly snappy, still struggles with Spotify but only Kimera 1.8 managed to scroll that like a beast.

Otherwise excellent :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Just found this one. Still in beta, but looks to have good promise:

I haven't had any luck finding a working download for Penpower Input yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] one_tjc:
As with previous posts, for some reason the trackball keeps glowing incessantly - despite not having any notification or application updates available.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I've tried rebooting and force closing each application one by one to see if they may be the culprit, but no luck stopping it.

Interestingly though, when you plug it and then out of the USB the flashing stops
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mr._E:
Spare parts - Font size

Anyone else got problems changing the font size on this ROM? As soon as I exit the font selection in Spare parts, the font reverts back to normal size....

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

I'm running Zeam on the Hero and Nexus now for the last few days and I am very impressed.

No more FC nor random restarts

HI. I had trouble with fc and random restarts too. Tried Elenlinux but thats's even slower than the original 1.5 one year ago...

Back to FroydVillain then. Read some stuff and solutions in the posts of this thread which got me thinking...

Maybe it's not JIT that's cousing all the trouble but the fact that i put compcache on.

Killed it and heck yeah. Even LauncherPro gives no more problems.

Tuned some more, while for some reason i got strange lock screen visuals. Like the graphics not showing up, totally brown or somekind of negative color setting. And one more restart.

So back in to cpuspeed and changed the screen off value from conservative (like Hacre advised) to interactive.

After that changed autokiller to strict and tried the phone for a while. No problems anymore whats so ever.

Because of all the restarts and fc's i went back to 570Hz this week but now i'm running 123/691Hz again and it's running like never before.

Battery life, in contrary of what some have, is after a whole day average use, on 72%.

YUHU!

Thanks all you devs for making this possible and especially Hacre. If it wasn't such a damned good mod, then the hilarious storylike thread he's telling us would be enough.

Wish Google was this good, because the market is still crappy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eXop:
The arrogance this team has ... Sorry but that was just plain unnecessary.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KAwAtA:
Isn't it also unnecessary to post what you just posted? And to label the whole team arrogant because of what one person posted, is stupid. Just like you! I don't even use my hero anymore and read his stuff. I enjoy it just like many others do!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
I don't think it's arrogance, but just plain funny! Something you would know if you had been following the evolution of this ROM instead of just chiming in without any background at all. Did he hurt your feelings? Aww...poor baby... :'(

Even if he's arrogant, I'd say he has a certain right to be. He's surely contributed a LOT more to this community than you have with your 9 little posts, most of which are about as informative as this one. I don't pretend to be dev, only a really appreciative user. If you don't like it, don't use it.

If I'm not wrong this is the normal behaviour. The function in spare parts was just to change the font size IN spare parts only.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lynt:
Just Nandroided back to 1.4, and I'm convinced it's performing better than my 1.5 install. Not sure what the go is; I might try reflashing without wiping this time. Any other suggestions? Never had a single FC under 1.5, just doesn't perform as well as 1.4 for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HTCDevil:
Only one issue for me....charging stops at 99%.

Great rom, better than stock one.

I come from a Nexus One with Froyo and that rom is very good if you consider that you have a Hero ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm. What was your overclock. You will get lags if you overclock too high, and remember that the kernel optimisations eke more performance out your phone, so it can't run stably as fast. But it will perform faster overall
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Trying it as well, seems to work quite well. Missing the cool twitter and facebook widgets from Launcherpro however, they are quite nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calistoga:
I have a question about the contacts app. I have custom pictures for some contacts, at the same time they are subject to the Facebook sync. In 2.1 Sense ROMs the Facebook picture would override my custom picture, but this does not seem to be the case in vanilla Android.

Are there any setting I have missed, or any tweak that can in effect make Facebook data override any other data? :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kariem112:
Phone contacts

Is there any way to use this nice ROM and still be able to save contacts to the phone instead of gmail?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Thanks, I looked at that page before but didn't see the download link at the bottom of the post. :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dennis.l:
1.5.0 is fantastic but I had to go back to 1.4.4 as it is much more stable.

(1.5.0 is quick and nicer looking but randomly reboots the phone.)

I also have problem with playback of 3GP movie files. (these same 3GP files work on all the other Hero ROMs I have tested.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
good to read Hacre - Zeam is growing on me more every day. I have fewer issues with launcher stability after unlocking the phone with Zeam and get most of the same features of LP. LWP is uber slow with Zeam on the hero but does that matter? no..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
what the heck is wrong with you? posting an entire huge quote that we've all read and enjoyed in this thread... wow.

Talk about arrogance

- you make negative assumptions about hacre (who we've all learned isn't one to suffer fools but also enjoys writing and is renown for his highly anticipated and highly requested long, creative, sarcastic, clever and entertaining release notes)

- you generalize about an entire team when one single person created vaguely 90% of the new features in this rom and that same individual wrote those release notes

- and you waste that much space in this thread to quote an entire huge post with release notes, links to the downloads, screenshots et al. The post was huge because it was for the most singularly anticipated rom for the gsm hero since 2.1 sense became an officially modified rom some months ago.

And you dare to say that anyone else is arrogant?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
today i flashed Villian 12 Final :D No doubt froyodvillian is also awesome but i like stable ROM Froyodvillian is very hard to use i think for me .. & it got really some cool features but seriously i was missing HTC Sense ;)

I posted the theme remover over in vr under themes. The one called vanilla.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
there are a few things that you rally must flash prior to flashing FV. sorry it really doesn't work without:

1. sense of humor app

2. irony & sarcasm plugin

3. strong words toleration enabler

after those you may flash FV with no side effects.

ps - there are also other custom roms available which don't have such strict dependencies.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JimmYDice:
@ ALL!!!

Hey guys!

I have flashed FroydVillain 1.5.0 a couple of days ago and I've had several problems with reboots. Another problem was that LauncherPro was crashing while I was doing nothing. :mad: Just the screen was turned on... I didn't understand this. Even when my Hero was in my pocket and I wanted to call someone I pulled the phone out of my pocket and it says to me: "Please enter PIN-Code".... It has crashed while doing nothing!!! I was very confused... :confused: And the battery drain was insane! I've played for an half an hour and my Hero was going to bed... :( While I was using my navigation app "CoPilot 8 Professional" my Hero freeZed after three miles... The screen got stuck and after thirty seconds it did a reboot... And after this reboot I had to configure my navigation app new.... But with all this problems I never wanted to flash back. I like this ROM very much because it is really damn fast. I am running the 691 kernel. Before I switched to FroydVillain 1.5.0 I was using EzHero 5.1 and it was never as fast as FroydVillain!!!!!!! I never had a faster ROM before!

Now back to my problems... ;)

I've bought a "Power Akku" with 3,7V and 2200mAh... I was wondering why my Hero is now booting so fast! Also the user interface works really faster as with original battery! :eek:

And the best thing is:

I HAVE NO MORE CONFUSING REBOOTS AND LAUNCHERPRO IS NOT CRASHING ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

I can do what I want now with the ROM and my Hero does everything! And my navigation app is running now stable!!!!

I don't know why the ROM works fine with the "Power Akku"... But I like it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
Great rom

Well, no one replied, so I'll try again:)

I think there is a memory leak. After reboot and all apps killed I have 110 MB, after one day with all apps killed - just 40-70. I have never experienced this before on hero..

Also, I can't make phone vibrate when sms arrives and trackball starts flashing as soon as I lock screen.

I thinks that is all issues I have.

Oh, I forgot about some random reboots. There were like 4-7 in one week.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's not a memory leak as far as I know. That's how android works. Empty ram is roughly useless when you have one hundred Meg free, so it is used for caching things.

Even 2.1 sense roms do this.

SMS vibrate is fine here, and trackball is probably just saying you have market updates available, although the market app doesn't always show the notification, though that's a Google issue...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
I have some doubts:) It just becomes extremely slow, opening book in FBReader takes minutes and phone overall becomes unresponsive.

If you have time, please, can you tell me where I do enable vibrate for sms? I have vibrate always in sound settings, but that applies only for calls it seems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Well, I've had 3 days uptime now with no lags. I would suggest you reduce your overclock a notch, and increase your sleep speed. both of those can cause little lags.

Regarding vibrate, I just set vibrate to "always" as opposed to just when in silent, and it worked fine. Strange...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
Will try to reflash it today, then. Maybe that will solve that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Okay. Let us know if you get it sorted. And try a wipe and flash if possible to just get rid of any old settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lambstone:
Is it possible to remove launcherpro? I tried uninstalling it but it wouldn't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
Sure

./adb shell

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cd /system/app

rm LauncherPro.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lambstone:
Then what happens? You'll go back to the default froyo launcher?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
You will have no launcher:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Install another launcher first, as I can't remember if it's part of the ROM or not
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grandmasterb66:
GPS / Gallery

Besides the overall smoothness, after more than a week of usage the only two issues I experience are the gallery messing stuff up when you tilt the screen & the GPS not locking sometimes.

After rebooting the phone with GPS on it finds it within an instant, but it is not very handy workaround to do this every time you need it. I do have the latest radio installed etc, so that cannot seem to be the issue. Any ideas anyone?

Also other screen related issues were solved by downgrading my kernel to a steady 653 and keeping it at a minimum of 352. That seemed to be the trick.

I do apologize in advance to sensitive readers in case I've overlooked a post on page ...#67 orso, as the search function didn't work when I typed this :D. Don't shoot me just yet... :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
i had random reboots earlier but then i reflashed this rom, uninstalled CPUSpeed and installed SetCPU (Overclocked to 691) and i haven't had any reboots after that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Gallery is a known issue. I can't reproduce the glitch here, but I think it's my config that does it. Disabling auto-rotate, and a little luck... :)

As for the GPS, are you sure it's the latest radio from the VR site as opposed to XDA (i need to update the XDA stickies when I get a chance), as the GPS is working here fine without a reboot, which makes me think it could be radio issue.

And btw, it wasn't post #67, it was post # 69 :p j/k

Trackball light

Hi all,

My trackball led keeps blinking while running this rom. This is very annoying to me, does anyone know how to disable/fix this??

Thanks :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, it means you have a notification. Some of google's apps don't display it, but check for market updates, as it's usually one of them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arniejj:
It stopped by itself, there was no update, new e-mail SMS or something else available. Maybe this is a little bug somewhere in gapps or some application i've installed.

Thank you for helping
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No probs. It's an app or gapps issue, as we debugged it and found gapps had something to say, except it wasn't showing the notification in the bar
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bigviv:
love the rom, but i've still never managed to get the battery going until past 2pm after a night of full charging

the "live" apps are only the genie widget for news which refreshes every 3 hours and the beautiful widget which updates every 4 hours

i have a few email accounts which i use my gmail account to check and they get pushed to my phone, but i cannot get more than 5/6 hours at a stretch before it's down to 15% battery

maybe my battery is knackered...!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] valery.m:
Could you give an URL please? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
to expand upon what pulser said (Which is correct), if you find it went away by itself, it probably was the market telling you about one or more apps that had updates available. then when it went away, it was because your market automatically downloaded and installed those updates. so no more light warnings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
simple way to test if it's the battery, an app, or one or more accounts going nuts...

install the free juice plotter app and run it once to make sure it starts monitoring ok.

disable background updating. disable data. disable wifi.

don't use your phone much (just to check time, answer/make rare calls, etc, but no gaming or otherwise futzing around with it which would leave the screen on... make sure screen is off most of the time).

check that juice plotter chart every hour or two (or longer if you have patience). without data etc on you should find battery goes down no faster than a couple percent every hour, max.

after running an app or something it can use a lot of battery for the following hour or so I've noticed depending on the app (some apps don't seem to sleep properly, at least some games anyway). so if you do use the phone for somethign specific, you can sometimes expect the battery chart to drop a lot for up to an hour even without use, but as long as you actually QUIT the app (back button) then your battery use shouldn't be too bad.

one thing to remember in android - back button quits an app (with some exceptions based on certain apps that have unorthodox ways of makign you exit). home button does NOT quit an app, so you can end up with more battery being eaten. android multitasks - play one game or use one app that wasn't coded with proper android os sleep/kill capability and it can eat your battery without you even knowing it's running.

edit: and for those who will point out that android's internal memory management and built in task killer logic is supposed to take care of that, and that apps sleep when not the one single running UI app... I know for a fact as a developer and intelligent end user this isn't true in cases where the developer of an app or game did bad things. and from what I've seen as an end user watchign battery use very very carefully, there are more app devs doing very bad things out there than we'd all like to believe.

and of course, use the settings->applications->running processes tool to see what's running once in a while. lots should be running, it's by design, but if you see some game or other app that doesn't seem like it ought to need a background task to run all the time then make note of what it is and try killing it from there. could also be your issue.

So again, you should get great battery life this way at expense of online capability.

after working THAT out, you can start enabling data features. if background data enabled plus data enabled (which is normal by default) eats your battery where having both off gives you great battery life then something is spending far too much time online... check update intervals and so on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I've been running this ROM for 5 or 6 days now with not a single FC, crash, or random reboot. I must be one of the lucky ones, I suppose...

My biggest gripe over the first several days was that by the end of the day I was down to 30% or less battery and was having to charge every night. Yesterday I changed from Interactive to On Demand in CPUSpeed and happily found that I still had 70% battery left at the end of the day, and I noticed no significant difference in performance. This is more like what I was getting with the stock ROM. Running 176-614mhz, by the way.

Now, an unrelated question: I discovered the Testing settings accessed by dialing *#*#4636#*#*. In the phone settings there is a tab for preferred network type. I am assuming this is for mobile data? I have never had a mobile data plan for this phone but am wondering if I need to change the setting there if I get one, because it is currently set on "WCDMA preferred". Perhaps this should be a new thread?
