Hi Erasmux,

Just tried this again. Changed my APN settings, saved them, and they stuck. Rebooted the phone, and they reverted back to the previous values. Saving them as per your instructions; Menu > Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.

I don't know if this is the reason I can't get MMS to work; all I was trying to do was correct/change the APN's and reboot, which some people say it's necessary to do after changing APN settings before MMS works.

Hi erasmux,

First,thanks for this stable rom,i use floyo 1.2.0.

I wanna try 1.4pre,but i wonder which kernel has the best battery life.

Because i'll i have a trip for a week,and i need the longest battery life so i don't need to charge everytime.

For next build,can i have cm setting to change cpu freq and governor?

And i wish i can have power widget button order too :D

But thanks anyway,it's a good,fast and stable rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
1.4pre1 has the CPU speed and governor added to the CM Settings.

For maximum battery life, I recommend you update to the latest LasVenturax version as posted on the second post of the LasVenturas thread and use smartassV2.

Please note that I am currently actively developing both projects: a new kernel version should appear later today (with very small tweaks). A new 1.4pre version should appear later this week (I really hope).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
That is very weird. For me this does not happened: I just copied 5x180M files to my SD card and the SD did not disconnect.

Does this also happened for you with FlyKernel? with LV 0.5.0? Assuming that it works for you at least with FlyKernel, try to generate a logcat and dmesg log for me, possibly there will be some clues there.

Anyone else also suffering from this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kojitabe:
Wow,thanks for your fast response.

Okay,i'll wait for new release,maybe i'll stick with 1.2.0 for now.

Love your works so much,thanks again for your enlightenment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
Here's a logcat.

Where can i find .txt file when i type adb logcat -d > logcat.txt ?

I made a new copy ~109MB .mp3 file and again same ****. I even changed USB cable several times, not cable problem.

I will try with FlyKernel now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
There are no problems with FlyKernel 12pre6

tried twice 2x109 MB

I use only 1.4ex last week.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Wow a logcat in PDF format :D Still can't find any related errors there. Try to generate the full logcat (adb logcat > logcat.txt) and the dmesg log (adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt).

Also verify that it works with FlyKernel, otherwise its not a kernel problem....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
look at post upper

There are no problems with FlyKernel 12pre6

My best friend isn't computer, that's why i don't know where is that ****ing logcat .txt file ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Simplest solution is:

start -> run -> "cmd"

if you wish change current directory

now:

adb logcat > logcat.txt

(logcat.txt will be in current directory :D)

and same for dmesg log just with the "adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt" command.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
No no,

i know how to adb make my aunt fly out of window etc.

but where is located file named logcat_made_today_for_one_fucking_problem.txt to send to this post??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Feedback, which is more kernel related than ROM related would be better placed on the LasVenturas thread, but I'll read it even if you post it here :D.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] huuhung1178:
in version floyo 1.2 the multitouch not work in default browser....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
erasmux,

Is it possible to leave the new market app out and use the previous version?

I think the new market is to slow for the Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I agree. Although, I might add the new market as an optional flash.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
He already answered that, the logcat is stored in your SDK directory. There is no need to start on Eran when he is only trying to help you solve an issue, remember he doesn't need to help you at all or provide the ROMs and kernels he has. Bit more of a courteous attitude next time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
You beat me too it!!!!!

If memory serves me correct this was the cause of the developer leaving once before.... PLEASE be courteous as without these developers we would have a poor rom on our devices.With them we get the best are devices actually can be and are...

lohtse
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
LMAO

this is one of the crankiest posts I've seen in a long time.

funny thing about logcats - if you make them using alogcat.apk on the phone itself, you know where it saves to (sd card, obviously). using adb... well if one can make one's aunt fly out of window, then one can probably figure out that adb is a communication layer between your COMPUTER and your android device, and the most logical place for a log file to be saved to when using that type of connection would be where you're doing your actual development.... on your computer, not your phone.

sdk... software developer kit. the directory where your development is happening on your computer. the main parent folder where you are running adb from.

oooooooooooooh, we all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine. Oh, we all live in a yellow submarine.... all together now .... submarine, a yellow submarine.

erm, huh. sorry, was trying to lighten things up a bit LoL ;-D

cheers all!

Don't worry, be happy! :p:D:o

First the "good" news:

Unfortunately, between finding new bugs in the kernel each day and some other RL issues, I will not have time to make any progress on Floyo this week. I will not give another ETA - will just have to eat my hat again.... But I am almost done with my work on the kernel(s) for now and will be concentrating on Floyo next week :D.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
thanx for the kernel update's. Will try it now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kabadahija:
+1 downloading, testing for next days :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
It seems that ''witch kernel'' question is clearly resolved since this morning :)

There comes next question.

Is it possible to make adress book - Call log, Contacts, Favorites to scroll a little or a lot smoother, or should i just disable showing contact pictures? Or should i change some CM settings?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
héhé, Thanks for all your hard work for us :)

But you don't have to eat your hat, just be sure to enjoy real life to, there's no need to do a rush job, ppl with hero's have time, those that don't already have bought another android phone that can be rooted i bet. If it comes next week or next month or later, I really don't care, there are a few nice Hero rom options to try in the mean time ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
Also woluld like to see default calendar aplication with posibility to change first day of the week.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pticrob:
GPS reboot

Hi Erasmux,

First of all thanks for your ROM which give a new freshness to my old Hero :)

Nevertheless, I have very often a bug. When I use a soft which requires GPS, my hero reboot often. Usualy I get this bug at the start of the soft (google maps, Copilot...). Sometimes it appears after a long time of use. :mad:

As I am using this kind of softs very often, it's very annoying.

I see that you notice :

Can I flash this file with Floyo 1.2 ?

I am a little bit reluctant to flash to Floyo 1.4 as it is not a final realese cause I use my Hero for my job. Except if you say this version is quite stable ;)

Thanks !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
No, please don't flash that on Floyo 1.2 it will break your ROM!

Also note, the above fix is for something I messed up with the 1.4pre1 release and not a general fix for GPS stability - I do not know of such a fix.

Although I do generally recommend upgrading to version 1.4 and I think the pre1 is relatively stable, I really hope that I will finally have time to do the effort and release the final very soon. Therefore, assuming your not a flash junkie, I would recommend waiting for the final.

In the meantime, I would suggest:

a) Can you share your last_kmsg (see end of trouble shooting section on 2nd post)?

b) I see from your signature your are still using the 12pre2 kernel. I suggest you try to flash either FlyKernel-13 or Las Venturax 0.6.2. See if one of these kernels improves the situation for you. Although I doubt you would want to, you can always return to the 12pre2 using the update found on the third post of the flykernel thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pticrob:
:eek: Thanks for the advice...:o

Ok I will wait ;)

(a) I 've tried since this morning but I failed. I don't no realy why. When I do "adb devices" I have : "adb server is out of date. Killing... Daemon started successfully [...]"

When I do next "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" nothing appears (no doubt, I'm in debug mode and I have downloaded the last sdk).

(b) I think I will try this, but I suppose it will erase all my data too ? (If you post soon your final release, it would be a pity to reinstall all twice :rolleyes:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
(a) thats weird. Try to use the adb from the latest SDK version - see here.

(b) The main reason I am suggesting you try other kernels is because you do *not* need to do any wipe when changing kernels and you don't loose any data in this process. Changing the kernel shouldn't take more than 2 minutes and you can always go back :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pticrob:
Ok Thanks Erasmux.

I'll try tomorrow (a) cause I'm very tired now but I have enough energy for (b). I do it now... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pticrob:
Done for the new kernel ;)

Unfortunately I have done a try with GPS and my hero have rebooted :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pticrob:
Oulala...I'm very tired ! I didn't see really your link the first time. This is THE link I'd used. That's why I said before I have the last sdk. I will try on my second PC (ubuntu 10.04 and windows xp with VirtualBox).

Goodnight :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
eeeeer here's and odd problem.... I have lost rotation settings in settings menu...By this I mean the setup so can change how much it rotates(ie,270,90 etc) in CM settings I only have 180 as asetting and nothing else... so I can't just rotate phone to change to landscape anylonger!!!!

anyone know how to get settings back(they had been there) and what may have caused this to happen??

regards

Lohtse
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
This is an annoying problem with the 1.4pre1 if you enable 180 the bug you describe appear. I know of no work around. One way or another this will be fixed in the final release (which I still plan to do ASAP, just my RL got very hectic again :().
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
Arrrrrrrrrrr least now I know it's a bug...was driving me crazy,deleted settings data/cache and same for CM settings and nothing happened.... Old part is I never ticked the setting in CM for extra 180 so seems it has done it it's self...

Oh well will wait for update to your excellent rom...Don't rush it as we can wait till you are ready...

regards

Lohtse
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pskin132:
Been testing this rom for a few days now with the -13 Fly kernel OC at 264/614 SMARTASSv2 .... WOW.... Its soo snappy, it changes from screen to screen in no time... Loads up apps the quickest iv'e seen over several roms iv'e tested.

This has now become my daily....

Battery life is a bit of an issue but it can be extended dramatically through using juice defender "Ultimate"

Hats off to the DEV of floyo 1.4pre ....I hope it just gets better & better !!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bazvw205:
I have installed this ROM earlier today however im since having signal issues, I don't have any 3G or H connection only normal bars, I have the latest radio installed too (63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03) Have I gone wrong somewhere else?

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

Ignore this sorry, I wrote it then realised that the data connection is turned off! :o

Great ROM btw :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
This ROM (1.4) is great however I'm still not very comfortable with the status bar icons :D so tried to adopt the Sense style icons for the framework-res.apk.

If there's anybody also prefer Sense style status bar here's the modified apk file and the way to make & load it.

View attachment framework-res.apk

How to load it

1. Boot the phone into recovery mode (can also do this while ROM running, however it'll better to replace system file offline)

2. Run adb to mount /system/ in write mode:

adb mount /system
adb remount

3. Push the framework-res.apk

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

4. Reboot

5. Go to CM Setting, under User Interface, Tweak Extras, and select a theme STOCK_Sense.

6. Reboot.

How to make it

1. Download a Sense status bar theme, such as the one for Floyo 1.2.

2. Locate the framework-res.apk, then extract the /res/drawable-mdpi folder.

3. Extract the framework-res.apk from Floyo 1.4pre1 zip.

4. Get a 7z, run the following command:

7za a -tzip -r framework-res.apk res\drawable-mdpi\*

Hope this is useful. If anyone who has interest in CM untouched (GB) status bar I'm happy to make one :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ryanraven:
This thread still being updated ? There is V1.3 somewhere isn't there ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
Nope. Theres 1.2 which is the latest stable release and 1.4 which is experimental though in my opinion its still well suited for everyday use
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ryanraven:
any ideas how to make the search button open a different application ?

really like using screenshot but this rom doesn't have it i hate using the hope button as an applications for good reasons.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
V1.3 is a fan made update by lirasina. its a mix of 1.2. mostly 1.2 and a little bit of 1.4 and well some GB stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] togarha:
After some time I decided to return to Floyo 1.2, but now I have an old market and it doesn't update. How can I force market update?

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
No idea what to tell you, there really is no reason for these settings to revert. I hope to release the new version by the end of this week, hopefully that my solve your problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
hey : )

can't wait

I love your ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
oh god! i have successfully migrate to ur rom erasmux!!

with my apps on the old apps2sd (system/sd/app)

thx for the awesome 2.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptitneo:
Hey

I have the camera issue too, with the same exciting pull-battery-to-close-app feature. I was coming from a FroydVillain and testing your rom and elelinux's Special Edition, and I encountered the same problem on both. But it looks like elelinux released a camera fix for his rom (not tested, it may be a totally different issue, symptoms were the same though).

Anyways, thanks for your work !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
just encountered it too :P

me too dun use the cam much IRL

tried camera360, am able to quit to the home screen but launcher have to be restart

to make things work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rashidi_zin:
That's going to be a problem for me because each time, the fix is to pull the battery out.

I'll try to look for such application, thanks :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
damn - and here I flashed 0.8 again last night because I wanted my favorite froyo camera back. it's buggy in 0.8 too for people? I must have lucked out when I used it before...

darn it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Due to the increasing number of reports of this so called "camera bug" I have tried to recreate it (using my private pre-release for the new version, sorry).

First I have to say, that I took over 100 pictures and some videos and the camera works perfectly when only taking pictures (without viewing them from within the camera application).

The problem I did encounter is if I press the last picture taken in top right corner, view it and optionally other pictures and then press back to return to the camera.

At this point I can't get normal control of my phone back. The camera UI itself is unresponsive (although the preview itself is still working and updating). Back and home do not work. Turning screen off works, but turning it back on just turns on the key backlights. The ROM is not totally stuck - preview works, adb works if was connected from before and pressing PHONE+MENU+PWR does reboot the phone for me (no need to take out the battery).

This problem seems to be reproducible often enough in my the version I am currently running, and I will try to a solution. Note that I hope to release the new version in a few days (even without a fix for this issue).

In the meantime, I would appreciate more detailed reports (ideally, at the detail level of my above report) about the camera problems you are experiencing, if at all, with the 0.8 "release".

Is it the problem I described above? Does using the camera only to take pictures and video (but not to view them) solve the problem?

Another question for all those who said that they have to take out the battery - does PHONE+MENU+PWR work instead?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
I wasn't aware of the hard button reset so will try that next time.

I actually think my lock up was when I did the task you tried.

I just tried what you described and yes I get the lock up. exactly as you described.

The button combination also resets it easily enough.

Now that I know what the problem is I will just make sure that from now on I dont do that again... lol. :)

Look forward to your next release! (will we be able to flash over the top of 0.8 or will it be a fresh install?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I switched from Froyd 1.5 around a week ago and I'm very glad I did. Battery life is much better and no lag. Thanks man, great work... not really sure what you can improve on in the next release but I'll definately be flashing it all the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Maybe this is just down to using an old or nonworking versions of Cyanogen i have used both this and elelinux SE both seemed to have camera problems although i didn't really observe them in any detailed way but with the update ele added to his rom the above procedure with the preview images doesn't cause any problems and the other problem i had with his a menu icon FC on selecting has gone as well so it is fixable:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptitneo:
That's exactly it. Sorry for being too lazy to try to find out the exact scenario. I could have spared you the hundred pictures you took trying to reproduce the bug. And I'm pretty sure it was the same with elelinux's rom too (going back to camera app from the 3d gallery).

Now that I know what NOT to do I can use the camera with no fear, thanks :)

PS: on my hero on a typical day of use, battery life looks something like 30% better than under froyd 1.5. Awesome :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
@erasmux

nvm, i did the data clearing step again and it seem to work.

will update again if it returns
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
It seems the "Turn over silence" function doesn't work all the times. In my tries there are ~50% percent chance can't make it silent by turning over when ringing. I checked the configuration is already there, so it should be a sensor related problem?

However it's just a minor issue, but in the default 2.2 dialer, there's no "silence" button for the incoming call :)

>adb shell cat /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/com.android.phone_preferences.xml

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
What do you mean? I tried to install the camerafix from the elelinux SE post and the problem still persists. Did this camerafix fix the problem for you on elelinux SE?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Yes the only problem i had noticed on ele's SE was the contrast saturation & sharpness icon caused a FC when pressed can't remember for sure if the preview going into gallery and back again caused problems but "The problem I did encounter is if I press the last picture taken in top right corner, view it and optionally other pictures and then press back to return to the camera."

Definitely doesn't exist after applying the fix + the icon FC is gone

So sorry maybe i was wrong and his rom only had one problem to be fixed

I did find this in ele's thread

But sadly the guy doesn't give enough detail to tell if it's exactly the same problem or just a similar one:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] antifa:
Great ROM.

I'm totally satisfied.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Latoc:
New Google Apps from 26-09-10 available here:

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Just installed the elelinux SE + the camera fix (and thats it not even a single app) - still exactly same problem.... Also verified the CM nightly also suffer a similar problem.

Will continue to work on it and hopefully find the a solution....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Weird:confused:

Sorry about that i just took several pix hit the tiny preview top right went to gallery viewed a few pix camera and other sources and repeatedly went back to the camera no problems, doesn't make sense
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
It seems going back and forth between the camera and gallery viewer (using the icon at the top right) will cause it to get stuck eventually in all CM6 ROMs I have tested (mine, nightly, elelinux). Sometimes its with the first/second try, sometimes it takes many iterations of going back and forth, sometimes it will just die but then if I activate the camera again its stuck :(.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Luckily for me i don't use the camera much:cool:, nor am i a rom making perfectionist

All credit to you and others for the hard work and long hours you put in for the benefit of all Hero users:D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptitneo:
Guys,

regarding the gallery 3D I think I have another issue. Can you access Picasa albums in full res ? Because I see the thumbs allright, but when I select one the full resolution image never shows up, I have the resized thumb and usually the full res image eventually replaces it but now it seems to be loading forever (and as I wait without touching, the phone goes to sleep, and then when I unlock it the gallery is back to home level and all buggy).

Does anyone of you have the same issue ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davel*:
First off I would like to say this is very good. As has been said before everything just seems to work.

That said......I noticed that Chrome to Phone was missing so I took the apk from FV1.5 moved it over and installed it. It will sign in correctly but won't receive any webpages etc.

Has anyone else had this problem and is it possible to get this looked at for the next release as I really like that feature

Thanks again,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Why didn't you download the app directly from the market? I did it and no problem. I agree with you: it's a pretty useful app.
