There is a program called Android Commander, which uses adb to backup/install the apps. I assume it just does an "adb install" on each app which should be equivalent to installing it manually and cause no problems. Backing up the apk files using it is very convenient and it gives nice file names according to the app name and version :). When restoring the apps, at least for me, it gets stuck (need to kill it and run it again to continue) and on rare occasions I even need to install an app manually - but all in all I think it saves quite a bit of the manual labor.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I use Titanium. Works great. Never had any problems except the one time I tried to restore system settings when going from 2.1 to 2.2 :D My bad! Titanium works great, but use caution when restoring. Don't always restore both app + data. My installation of Floyo seems to be rock solid.

Oh, and I don't use batch restore. I go from app to app and choose either app+data or just app. Depends on the app.

And Copilot works great here. Had the minimize problem once or twice, but is disappeared. Don't remember what I did, though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
This is still the best 2.2 for me, tried the rest but keep coming back to this for stability and battery life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagore:
I installed the Android Commander and it looks so good. I backup all app so easy, I would want to know how to backup also the settings of each app. And if possible to backup the settings, those settings can also be restored on any other rom? or has to be the same one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brat.haneq:
I have a question, does Floyo has power settings widget, with data network switch ? I see WIFI/Bluetooth, but in CM/Villain I saw that also data network was in status bar/power control widget.

Can anyone tell me ?

With regards

Chris
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Yes, the notification power strip is configurable. Data connection is one of the possibilities that you can add. It's the same as CM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brat.haneq:
Thanks for the info!

downloading now :)

Cheers

I use the batch to restore or the apps+data or app only. Just mark the items you want to restore at that moment. A real timesaver for me when I restore about +- 35 items.

Hi!

I just switched from Floyo 0.8 to 1.1.9.

In 0.8 there was no stock messaging app and I used handcent instead. I was very happy with that.

Now with 1.1.9 I have the "problem" that I get notifications for incoming messages from both apps: The stock app and handcent.

My question: Is there any easy way to get rid of the stock messaging app while keeping handcent working properly? I heard that handcent "needs" the stock messaging app somehow...

Can anybody help me?

First post from a noob.

After I stopped shaking last night when I followed the instructions to put this rom onto my g2, it actually worked..

Not got a brick.. lol

So here's my prob that I hope you guys can advise on a solution is I'm getting no picture in the YouTube. App or in the flash viewer ie. Embedded videos in websites like sky sports interviews.

I can get the sound. Just no picture. The only video I have been able to see is the instructions to use the Google Speak Car App which looked like it used the YouTube. App. The HQ is unticked in settings

Installed 1.1.9

full Google apps zip

Latest radio

Anyone know why?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Legacyleader:
ok ive found a bug... and its really annoying i have an USB Headset from HTC the RC E100 http://www.amazon.de/E100-Fernbedienung-mit-K%C3%B6pfh%C3%B6rern-3-5/dp/B001DXAVPC/ref=sr_1_5?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1291294300&sr=1-5

Floyo just wont recognize it at plugging in but if i restart the Phone with the Headset already inserted it shows me the Headset icon but the Remote isnt working and if i pull it out the headset icon dont dissapear and if i get a call Microphone doesn't work because the Phone thinks it uses a Headset. Strangly on Froyo 2.2 with Sense (the Chinese Port) it works like a charm... i assume it has something to do with the Sense Framework... it works also on Tegro 2.3 with Espresso... have somone experienced the same Problem?

or someone a hint how to fix it... ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
You can remove the stock notifications in your settings somewhere :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shimon-xda:
It is really strange... I did some testing. I left the screen on and in 30 minutes it only went down 7% leaving it alone in one location. I take it out of the house and leave it in my pocket and the battery gets murdered. When I take it around the neighborhood battery life is also very good.

I don't have GPS tracking installed but would it kill the battery this much?

I am not using any cpu frequency adjusting software. I am using Floyo 1.1.9. I don't know if the kernel is set up to be doing anything by default.

I have switch to USB tethering as of today.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wyvern1254:
Thank you for your work, and i would like to say that the floyo1.1.9 is my favorite rom, good luck, budy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
well after two days of format sd cards. reflashing and wiping my hero the stability/rebooting issues seem to be resolved.... BUT now my biggest problem is I keep getting application not installed when manual installing applications I had on the phone originally(WTF)!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have tried using titanium and android commander(keeps saying something about container error) and have no dam joy whats so ever... Apps that will nolonger install are dam random too so can't really trace the reason to size etc. Apps such as angry birds, sniper v sniper. Handcent sms, reboot manager,saymyname, dolphin HD browser,Co-Pilot,OSmap.Oruxmaps and around 50 other apps just will not install anylonger...... Like I said have reformated/Partioned sd card and even tried several others so it's not an sd card issue. have tried using floyo apps2sd and original etx2 one nothing is working.

ANY IDEAS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
What do you mean not installing? Can you share a logcat of a failed attempt to install an app - preferably using one of the following 2 methods:

1. Put the apk file on your SD card, then use a file explorer to click on it and install it from there.

2. Do an "adb install my-app.apk" from the PC (with adb working).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
I mean they fail to install!!!!!!

anyway can't remember how to do logcat. but adb and android commander both throw up the following message..

C:\sdk\tools\adb install Shortyz_v2.3.11.apk

900 KB/s <152146 bytes in 0.165s>

pkg: /data/local/tmp/Shortyz_v2.3.11.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

hope that helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Where is the logcat?

For example using adb just do: (before you try to install)

adb logcat > logcat.txt

and kill it after you try to install.

Then attach the file to your post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
one logcat
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
According to your logcat:

E/Vold ( 61): ASEC file '/mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec' currently exists - destroy it first! (Address already in use)

Hence, I suggest something like:

adb shell rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec

and hopefully this should should solve your problem....

On the odd chance it does not:

a) Verify there are no tmp files under /mnt/secure/asec and remove them if there are. For example using:

adb shell ls /mnt/secure/asec

b) If the problem persists, please share another logcat of the problem after you removed the above temp files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
Thank you.thank you.that worked perfect

Again thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] axelkalas:
Oh my, it's... so... fast! With launcherpro it feels like a brand new phone. And battery life in standby is INSANE. 3% overnight? what?

The only minimal quirk is the odd reboot when starting Maps. Seems like it happens when the rom has been running for a day and maps is started for the first time. When freshly booted, no problem.

Also today I noticed that when battery is low, streaming media (svt play) hangs the player. Stops responding. Can this be kernel related? Does it clock down when running low or something?

wating for Floyo 1.2.0 when can be release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
if you had read the first post, then you probably wouldn't be asking this question.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Actually, forgot to update that:

There will probably not be any Floyo 1.2, since at lot of change since the RC1 version 1.1.9 is based on. So I'll probably release 1.3 when I come back to Floyo but this might take some time....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Does this rom have the "Swipe to remove notifications" or something?

Just read about it somewhere that the CM rom has something like this.

CM 6.1 stable is out!

Hi Erasmux,

Understand that the release of CM 6.1 stable should be an exciting news to everyone. Been using your best Froyo 1.1.9 until now. How soon can we get your new update with this stable CM?

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
fyi, CM 6.1 stable is not yet out for hero gsm. it is a staggered release. we would see it here when it is out.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I'm not getting it. How does this work? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bbogdann:
I do not know if it's a kernel problem or ROM problem. I' ve been using ur ROM since the begining and I am very satisfied of it. But feww day ago, I found something strange. I bought a new handsfree with 3.5 jack. When I plug in the jack and I start music player, after few minutes SD Card unmount itself, player stops and the phone restarts. I tried to flash with different versions of the kernel, but the result was the same. Please check this aspect. Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Can you get me the last_kmsg, for example using adb:

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
Hi

Well after a couple of days of excellent stability I have now got the reboots back. They happen about every two hours of no activity. Or when I get a call, or after sending and recieving over 10 texts in a short space of time or when switching from one app to another also ADW has constant fc or wait messages too. I set phone up with no smartass kernel and reinstalled all apps previously had installed straight after reflash. NO new apps have been installed. Like I said at begining all has been well for a little over two days from full wipe/format and reflash. But over past 12 hours have now started to suffer from regular reboots as stated...

Help please or will have to move to another rom.

regards

Lohtse
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
If you want support, you'll need to give something to go on....

First, try to get the last_kmsg and share it with me, for example using:

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

Basically, before reporting a problem you should:

1) Do a full wipe (data, cache and ext) and install nothing except the main ROM update.

Try to survive with the ROM as bare as possible and install nothing on top of it. If you have one or two apps you must install on it, do so manually and please list these apps.

Try to change the default configuration of the ROM as little as possible, try to describe what changes to the configuration you are doing.

2) If after doing 1, you still have these reboots try again to get the last_kmsg and share it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
log as requested,,

as to suggestion hmmmmmmm as few apps as possible..... eeer doesn't that defeat the point of a smart phone lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I meant to try this to find where the problem is - not as a solution/workaround. If for example, with a clean ROM you do not get these reboots, its something that you are installing thats causing the problem and you can systematically find out what it is..... If on the other hand you do have the problem with a clean ROM , then its a different story....

I looked at your last_kmsg and its clean. Might be worth also trying to capture the logcat with some app which does this constantly - its quite a long shoot but still....

Anyways, awesome name that - GingerFly!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
There are a couple of projects that interest me now, and in the current situation, there are a lot of good up-to-date CM6-based ROM: The official CM6.1, Elelinux and Froyd 1.7.

So for now I think I'll concentrate on other things. One thing I really want to get some progress on, is the flykernel 12 final. Other things I am considering: Giving the gratia port another shot while the sense 2.2 porting know-how is still fresh in my memory and compiling a pure ASOP 2.2 ROM - both because there is none such available for the hero GSM (and it would be interesting to see how such a ROM compares vs. a CM based ROM), and as preparation for the day Google finally release the Gingerbread source....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ooh sounds interesting :)

I think you'll need a fair bit of stuff from the CM tree to even get an AOSP 2.2 to look at compiling, but once you do, hopefully the overlay etc won't change too much...

I'll try and test that thing about touchscreen on the kernel for you too :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prmd142:
Gingerbread will probably be the last android version that our heroes can handle. I think honeycomb will be too much for the Hero to handle. I hope you will atleast port gingerbread to hero before moving on to advanced devices. Don't give up on hero until then please!

I like to see flykernel 12 final :)

Like you said, there are good CM6 based roms build around CM6.1

Thanks, for you hard work, Floyo was the first custom Hero rom i ran and i was very happy with it, and your flykernel 12 pre1 is a great improvement over flykernel 11.

and engaged to FroydVillain 1.7.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] row1:
Cool story, bro.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagore:
What extra things did you get with the divorce?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BRijpstra:
So how is the divorce going?

Floyo and I are still quite close, I will wait at least for another two/three weeks or so before considering switching...

In the past I usually

- switched to one of the (very quickly released!) Villain-roms,

- had to do a lot of patch updates in the following days,

- and by that time it always seems that a better rom has been released

- so I switched to that Rom again...

So let's safe myself some trouble by patiently reading responses from other users here and see what happens ^.^... I keep my fingers crossed for a nice release from Floyo or otherwise Elelinux...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bteong0:
so far so good. cant really compare. still prefer floyo based on past experience.

0xbenchmark linpack test is about 4.91 Mflops/s at 619mhz. Cant recall what was my floyo exact test result, but i think is about the same

battery life on 1.7.2 seems slightly better on my hero's pregnant (expended /bloted/swelled) battery .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagore:
:) Is just funny to see our minds working same way for most of us, we are all trying rom after rom, looking for the perfect one hoping the last will the THE ONE!!!!. And after some days another rom appear and make our mind to doubt again. Is it better the one I have or the new one?

The point now is what are we going to get with another rom that we dont have with the floyo? if it's something good we can think about that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
After much debate (amongst myself), I have decided, that since I need to update Floyo for myself, I will cross my fingers really really hard and release 1.2.0 without too much testing :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bteong0:
back to Floyo. and she accepted :)

is she is 1.2 now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:
You're such a massive winner.

What do you think, is it a full wipe situation from 1.1.9? I don't want to wipe but haven't enough sd space for a nandroid backup OHHHH RISKY I can feel the adrenaline rush already.

If you read the threads for this, FV1.5, elelinux etc you will see in everyone lots of people saying "best rom ever" and lots of people saying this, that and the other doesn't work + battery life is great or crap

Only one way to be sure try them;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Exactly! And after doing this for almost one week I can say, that this, Sir, is definitely THE BEST 2.2 ROM I've every used! Battery is good, performance is better (OC to 691 MHz) and best of all: EVERYTHING is working without any FC or lag or whatever!

Best ROM at this time (after trying Cronos, elelinux, FV, bFroyo and Fusion!) -no problems at all and -again- everything just works!

Thank you very much!

Did you try adding the stock MMS application using the update on the first post. I think some people found this to solve the problem.

Will be interested to hear whether this solves the problem for you or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
better than? no (and this isn't referring to the user who has found this to definitely be more stable on his phone than floyd etc, that's a different situation... aside from the obvious things like stability and unusual circumstances, the following is true imho):

that's complex. floyd executes cpu-hungry apps faster tahn anything else. period. no denying it. I find in floyo my launcher becomes responsive a little more quickly after long sleeps and after memory-hungry games than in floyd. I find the UI slightly snappier in floyo too, but that isn't consistent. floyd can be super quick also, but I do find that floyd fluxtuates in responsiveness more than floyo.

I'm enjoying floyo right now - it's really good. they're different animals, and both excellent though.

My sig says floyd is coolest for a reason :-)

but I'll be updating (EDIT: already updated!) it to point out that floyo is really THE working cm6 build for gsm heros.

IMHO they've released cm6 and it's name is floyo. They just dont' know it yet over there!

i am converting to 2.2 with this :)

one thing that bugs me is the app2sd.

i want to use the old app2sd with my ext2 part.

so, i do not need to tick any more boxes and it shld just work out of thb box right? (just use the default tick to let it chose where to install to automatically or tick external ?)

very nice rom u got there chieft!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
an update,

i wiped my card, repartition with a 512mb ext2 and flashed the rom.

downloaded titanium backup and set it to restore apps to their original places as when they were backed up.

i wish to use the old app2sd method.

apps are restored fine.

but, some widgets are not dectected unlike how chieft mentioned

how do i make sure the rom is using the old app2sd method?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
sorry, am flooding with my own post and replies lol..

nevermind.. i figured out myself already..

this rom comes with the flavour of froyo's app2sd..

only thing is, if i have an ext2, the partition will be used for those apps.

otherwise.. app2sd will still work..

only thing is, they will be on the main partition.. in the .androidsercure folder or sort...

i didnt notice there weren't any punctuations in chieft's post :(
