I've been using 1.4 since you released it and it's been as solid as the most solid cm6-based roms I've ever used, and as fast as the fastest roms I've used, and has been a very good user experience overall.

I'm just using my phone and being happy without worrying.

all I want now is a desire HD or something like that LoL.

excellent work, as always, Eras.

1.4 pre1 is the new 1.2... and blue is the new purple.

Cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I just noticed that the installation complete icon is mismatch as well:-)

PS: I posted a while ago that the flightmode icon was mismatching, but I wasn't sure if you noticed it :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Yes, of course I noticed that, and I see your point at least about the flightmode. I will check also installation complete icon. Thanks for the heads up :D

I have been a little busy with updating HeroLatte recently - hopefully will release something very soon. I still hope to also release the Floyo 1.4 final in near future.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Just loaded 1.4pre1 yesterday. So far its been good :) Any ideas how to get mp4 files to play though? I downloaded a couple on whatsapp but when I play I just get sound and no video. Is there some codec that is required?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I would guess the videos are too high resolution. Try converting them using PC software like videora or super :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] selune81:
I'm waiting for your final 1.4 soon...

the problem with "android system" that drain the battery plus that the display is the raison for that I have changed rom but the "experimental" is very fast and beauty!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am not familiar with that issue. Battery life is excellent here and from what understand this is also the experience of most people who flashed this ROM.

Can you please give further details on the issue, like: What battery life do you get under what usage? Did you also test a "clean" installation (only the update file flashed after a full wipe with no apps installed at all - of course only for to isolate the issue)?

What is the second issue you mention with the display?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
for me the battery life is awesome. best froyo ever!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Small update (more like no update :(): I am afraid I have had very little time for android development recently. I will be away for about two weeks now. I will continue to work on this ROM when I am back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:
Quoted from "Button_Man"

Quoted from "Feeyo"

Quoted from "Simering"

Hey Feeyo,

Is there a plan for 2.2.5 release with all fixes combined?

Kind Regards,

I will start on a new build in a week or 2 yeah. As I really need a few breaks in between releases. Or else I will die of tiredness :)

Can't be doing much for your social life either?

yeah exactly. :)

LOL i think erasmux and feeyo are the same person : DDDDDD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
Superb!!!

Just thought I would try this rom after trying several others, i can remember using this rom after using floyo 1.20 when i originally had a hero several months ago, its superb!!!! you and elelinux are LEGENDS!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grindboy:
Hey Guys,

I'm wanting to use my Hero running 1.2.0 to track my bike rides with iMapMyFITNESS or MyTracks. However every time the screen turns off the GPS turns off also. I've searched throught the settings and there is no option to flip. Some people are saying that GPS auto-off is in Android 2.2 onwards however others say its 2.3 onwards.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

@Erasmux

Will themes made for the pre version work for the final one? I'm thinking of porting one or the awesome cm7 themes :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
afaik themes will have to be adjusted for 1.4

not sure how or why though =P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaoszNagymester:
It's possible to enable the 3D in Google Maps? In other ROMs, for example Elelinux-Hero-2.1-update1 works well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Supposedly, Maps 3D should work on this ROM. Are you sure it does not? What exactly is the problem for you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
What I know of 3d maps the sole difference is the version string in the build.prob of the open GL

normally its 66536 or something in that order. What you need to do it ad a 1 in front of it and the last 6 needs to be a 7 and thats it. so it ends up something like 166537

I dont know the numbers out my head, but those 2 numbers are the clue.

EDIT: Ok I downloaded the rom and had a look. Well in the build.hero is the number 65537. I believe put a 1 in front of it and done. so it ends up at 165537
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkknight_:
Hello,

In first place, I want to thank you for all the work you've made on this ROM. I'm using Floyo 1.4pre1 and it's just great!

I know Floyo 1.4 is a work in progress, but anyway I've found a couple of bugs that I would like to share with you:

1. When I uncheck "Rotate 180 degrees" in Settings->CyanogenMod settings->Display, it doesn't work at all. When I enter again on that display, "Rotate 180 degrees" is checked again.

2. Display rotation doesn't work fine on my device. Although I've set screen rotation on, the screen only rotates 180 degrees, but it doesn't rotate 90 or 270 degrees.

If you think I can help you attaching some log, just let me know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
I run this rom now for a few days, and i like it.

But i don't like al the coloured icons in the statusbar.

Is there aleady a theme that work with the 1.4 pre.

Maybe someone can explain how to change the theme with this ODEXed rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
+1

need a theme

tweetdeck force closes
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Folti:
I think that UOT kitchen works with ODEXed roms.

http://uot.dakra.lt/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamsud:
Ya pls resolve that rotation bug. Otherwise this rom is exellent
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am sorry to have "fallen off the face of the earth", had a small crisis with my studies, but finally I think that it's over :).

I hope to finally finish Floyo 1.4. The current bug list I have for the pre1 release:

Rotation bug when enabling 180 rotation

Some icons are not "appropraite" for the default theme (headphone icon, flight icon, market updates, anything else?)

Maps 3D

Any other bugs I am missing?

The final release will hopefully have a few more updates other than just bug fixes. It will also have at least a CM6 untouched theme (white).

I am also considering finally moving to Las Venturas - I will try 0.5 before I decide - if anyone has any experience (good or bad) with Floyo + Las Venturas, I would love to hear it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
No bugs mate, thanks for inbox
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
OK, about theming, I've tried theming this odexed thing and I had no problems (only replaced pngs in framework-res.apk). I pushed it using and update.zip ;)

Once the 1.4 stable is released I will port my Speedmachine theme in the Themes and Apps section :)

Btw. Erasmux good to see you again ;)

Edit: And if someone is interested. The theme I made contains the graphical bug fixes and the stock Froyo battery. If your interested scream out :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
ok thanks for the info.

I would love to try yout theme !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I'm really sorry, but it seems I've happened to delete the theme :o It is a long time since I used this rom! :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
And i'm back at Floyo 1.2.0 (from CM7 Nightly)

Gonna stay on it till 1.4 final come sout :)

Clean install with only apps i needed, no junk anymore, runs damned smooth (like expected, 1.4 pre1 did run also smooth, but i preffer to wait for the final to stick to it :)

1.2.0 runs without problems with "2.6.35.13-Las_Venturas-0.5.0 Kernel"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
@Erasmux: Do you remember that you should take a look at that feature in GB when you press and hold in the notification power widget and enter their settings? As you have been away for a while and your head is probably full boring school stuff, you probably have forgotten so I just thought I should remind you ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I didn't forget, because I have it all written down :D. I can't promise anything, but I will take a look at it and if it isn't a lot of work I will do it. Let me know if you have any other ideas :)

I am currently mostly working on the LV kernel, does anyone else also find the camera still problematic with LV 0.5?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
I have no problem with my Camera and Floyo 1.2.0 with LV 0.5 as kernel, phone works great.

Taken lotsa pictures, all are pretty good for the low quality cam of the Hero (no i didn't record a short movie or so :P )

Here are a few taken with my HTC Hero:

(Yeah i know it's pokémon, but i collect wierd console stuff that doesn't come out in Europe :p )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:
Pika Pika chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :DDDDD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
oh beautiful :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I have compiled my own version of the excellent Las Venturas 0.5 kernel:

Las_Venturax-0.5a.zip (generic update)

Bug-wise, it fixes jogball notifications. Other than that it has a few more changes which I prefer.

Btw, if you missed my post on the LV thread, the camera issue I had was temporary and not kernel related - the camera works fine with this kernel (both the original 0.5 and "my" version).

I would appreciate any feedback about this kernel, especially in combination with Floyo 1.4, as I currently intended to use it for the the final release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Running floyo 1.4 with Las Venturax (nice name btw) and well it runs as smooth as with Fly11C so I am happy :D Still in the process of changing the theme a little but almost done :D

Got no problems here, gonna test nav tomorow with Maps 5.5.0 Cuss higher versions crash with me.

EDIT: Theme is done now. so it is all awesome now :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
any chance of sharing theme??? also does anyone know the best CPU settings for this rom (i like to browse a lot lol) smartass??? min and max???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Since I edit the complete rom before I install it. I will upload my framework-res.apk. You can push it into the correct folder :P /system/framework

Reboot and done.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
thanks mate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
LasVenturax 0.5c posted here.

I will be happy to hear any feedback about it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Installed Floyo 1.4pre1 this morning along with LasVenturax 0.5c. After a good portion of the day I've had no problems or issues.

My plan is to use this ROM/kernel combo for the weekend and report back.

Update: After light usage over the last few days I've encountered no issues that I can recall. ROM is quite speedy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
Floyo 1.2 + LasVenturax 0.5d

- on winXP wired tether doesn't work (found new hardware.. etc.)

- incoming call didn't show caller, screen was still in facebook app

- smooth scrolling on LP only @691MHz, but anyway not as smooth as Fk11pre6

+ is there any clear GB theme for F1.4exp?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
- Does tethering work with any other kernels?

- I don't understand this: "incoming call didn't show caller, screen was still in facebook app", what do you mean? Also is this a kernel problem - if so try also with performance governor (only for testing)? Is it consistent?

- About the smooth scrolling, can you also try to compare it with performance - does that make any difference? How is it with FlyKernel 12a? How is it with LV 0.5.0 (Riemer's version)?

I didn't make any clear GB theme for F1.4, possibly someone has made one or will make one for the final release. The default theme in F1.4 has a lot taken from the GB theme.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I will at least make my Naked Simplicity theme for the 1.4 stable, i can also make the GB theme if people want :) But I'll wait for the stable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
- Does tethering work with any other kernels?

-- Yes, i flashed back to Fk11pre6 and everything works

- I don't understand this: "incoming call didn't show caller, screen was still in facebook app", what do you mean? Also is this a kernel problem - if so try also with performance governor (only for testing)? Is it consistent?

-- Incoming call was only a ringing ringtone, didn't show caller ID

- About the smooth scrolling, can you also try to compare it with performance - does that make any difference? How is it with FlyKernel 12a? How is it with LV 0.5.0 (Riemer's version)?

-- i am using Floyo 1.2 since 1901.year and i have tried everything to get maximum of scrolling homescreens on pulling down notification bar. The best combination is:

Flykernel 11pre6 + LP

with

homescreen cache type: light

memory usage preset: moderate

cm settings: lock home in memory

cpu: 352-614 smartass

I have tried some of best kernels, all possible cpu gonvertors etc, but i always flash back to 11pre6

All this works even better with Floyo 1.4exp, but i can't live without clear GB theme
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Ok well I tested everything, navigation and all that kind of stuff to. And this is the first time ever maps just does not close :D so I think this rom is the best for me for now.

Speed on Las_Venturax_0.5e is good to so I am happy. I do not use USB Tethering so I got no idea if that works. But I am happy with this rom :D Awesome work Thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Anden100:
Wow... After a long time of Gingerbread, i decided to turn back. I don't remember my hero ever running this well. Flashed the new Las Venturas Kernel as well, and i must say im impressed with the work you have done. If anything, its only the theme i feel needs an update (Gingerbread, anyone? :D)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamsud:
thank u for giving ur time and effort to the community this is best froyo rom i have used. only rotation bug annoy me, if you dont mind can u pls make a quick fix for rotation problem ( i know u r working on final) but till then quick fix will keep me sticking with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
Running 1.4pre1 with 0.5e kernel now, so far so good...

I think the only missing thing is a clean GB theme, or a Sense theme.

Actually not a big "theme" ... just the framework-res.apk I mean :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Given the interest, I am posting a small (no) progress update:

I have been quite bit busy with kernel development (mostly working on "smartassV2" - see the second post on the LasVenturas thread ;P).

I really hope to get some progress done on Floyo next week. Another pre version should come sometime during the week, and the final version should not be far after. Themes (at least from me), will come either with or right after the final version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
This Floyo 1.4pre1 with Las_Venturax-0.5f.zip is the best, HTC Hero is fast and working very well!

Looking out for your next pre release, but do take your time, don't forget to enjoy real life :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Fix for USB tethering using the LasVenturas/x kernel is found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17008727#post17008727

Please do not apply this if you are using FlyKernel (the original kernel of this ROM).

Please let me know if there are still any problem with USB tethering.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
There is one thing with both smartass gonvertors - when my music player (PowerAMP) is playing while screen is off, sound is damaged, i always must switch to performance gonvertor. With all kernels.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
This shouldn't happened. I will look into it.

What settings are you using? Please don't use sleep profiles with smartass and do not use the 19Mhz frequency it is too low. I am using smartassV2 @ 614/176 (no SetCPU profiles and such) and music is almost 100% smooth for me using meridian. I am looking into the "almost" part, and will also try PowerAMP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
I use 352-614 on flykernel and 352-691 on lasVx

I never use any profiles.

Maybe that's because i am listening 2hrs long music show? And of course i use built in EQ.

And my phone is always clean from any games etc., i don't use unnecessary apps.

Please also look why Tweetdeck app force closes, when i press on any tweet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
Next problem.

Tried to copy a file ~100MB to SD card.

Device turns off SD card itself and then comes errors - device not ready, I/0 trouble etc. Several times.

Formated SD card, copied back to SD all files, same ****.

SD card - original.

Made a reboot to recovery, enabled USB-MS, copied all old files and new files - succesfuly.

1.4 + LVxf
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duytung27:
but, how to installing, please help me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Just download the file. Put it on your SD card. Reboot in Recovery mode. Flash the file and voilà.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duytung27:
thank you very much
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Big-Kahuna:
First: Great ROM! Changed to this after coming from VE 4.0 and no issues so far. It is at least as good for 2.2 as VE was for 2.1, so that's a big compliment. It is just great that the Froyo-Apps2SD is supported and fully working on this ROM. I also love the black status bar and the included HTC-keyboard. Just keep up your great work, I really hope we will see versions of this ROM for a long time!

One question: How can I remove/uninstall the unwanted Apps like AmazonMP3, Facebook, etc...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Amazon MP3 where :eek: ? Don't have that crap in my ROM, if you have it you must have installed the full google apps update which includes it.....

In any case, all such apps (i.e. facebook which is included because I assume most ppl use it and it does not seem to burden the ROM), are found under:

/system/app

You just need to remove the necessary apk's from there.

Personally I would use adb to do something like:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Facebook.apk

But using a any file explorer with root permissions (i.e. ES File Explorer) should work fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Big-Kahuna:
Thanks for your answer. I will do it the ADB-way, I just "learned" how to use it. :)

And yes, I flashed the Google apps update. I didn't realize that that was unnecessary. All needed Google apps can easily be downloaded through the market.

BTW: Thanks for pushing me to use Handcent SMS. ;) Somehow I never gave it a try. Stupid me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
That is a great quote :-)

You should put that in your sig!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yusufsan:
Any Chance to have the original HTC bootscreen or something like a white text written ANDROID on a black background
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Yep, the original HTC boot animation is floating around the XDA forums somewhere (sorry don't remember where I saw it). After you find it you need to push it and overwrite:

/system/media/bootanimation.zip

(for example using a adb push or using a file explorer with root permissions).

Good Luck :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] floomat:
HTC Bootanimation

Try this file attached :)

should work,

Original HTC - Quietly Brilliant bootscreen. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Thanks floomat for the file. Just to clarify this is not an update zip for recovery.

So you can put it under /system/media using adb from recovery, or using adb when the ROM is loaded or using a file explorer with root permission or whatever way you find convenient....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Yep I have had this twice, Mind you I am Using Autokiller.. :o So figured that could be causing it because I understand Froyo has much better memory management so autokiller etc can cause some real problems together?

edit--

Also that attachment above,

I FLASH that via the recovery menu?

Not just replace the one in the System folder with it?

Nevermind, the above post sorted my question!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I don't really use the camera in my real life usage, but using it for the testing at multiple occasions has not yielded any problem for me.

As for the autokiller "theory", as much as I dislike anything which touches the system internals in a way I do not fully comprehend and would love to pin this on it ;) I don't see how this makes sense in this case - if anything I would expect it to close the camera prematurely and not prevent it from closing....

If anyone can produce a logcat of this problem it might help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
my guess was (I wouldnt call it a theory, Ive no idea what most of the android system is doing half of the time! lol) that the camera may be saving the image, then as it is saving (if it is a different process or service) the camera app is closed meaning everything just locks up.

Like I said though, Ive no idea how anything work. it just seems to happen randomly (Ive taken around 50pics lately testing out Vignette settings, and it has only happened twice.)

If you can point me at a guide on how to make a logcat I will make one when/if it happens again.

trouble is when it happens I have to do a battery pull so the file will have to survive that..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Hmm, somehow missed that you need to pull out the battery... that sound serious :(. In this case I doubt a logcat will help at all.

If possible please try to pull the /proc/last_kmesg log (for example using "adb pull /proc/last_kmesg) and send it to me. This file should hold the last kernel crash that happen (could be some time ago), so there is a good chance doing it now will yield something interesting - would be interested in seeing it, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
I just searched for that file on RootExplorer (My pc has never ever been able to work with adb :() And I dont seem to have one? I dont have any thing that starts with 'last' in the 'proc' folder :(

I had to do a battery pull the first time. but the second time it happened it just took around 5minutes to unstick itself and go back to the home screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
To the best of my understanding that means your kernel did not crash.... Have no idea how to debug this. Hopefully this is happening rarely enough you live with it, also someone upstream of me (i.e. the CyanogenMod team) might solve this for us - one can hope :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rashidi_zin:
For my case, I'm not using AutoKiller.

I will get you the logcat the next time it happens.

Thanks :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
If you need to pull the battery out when this happens, it will be very hard to get a logcat - my only idea is one of those apps on the market which can record the logcat (all the time) - I am not personally acquainted with such apps but have heard of them.

I still very skeptical that anything will come out of the logcat in such a case (total freeze of the device), so I wouldn't put too much effort into this.
