How is the Battery Life?

ATM it is in all CM6 2.2 Roms very worse!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alecklks:
Very nice rom, runs fast and smooth. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Thank you but can u upload it as an *.apk only?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] niar:
nice to see rom from erasmux ))

which kernel you choose - BFS or regular for this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peachananr:
Smooth like a butter

Runs very smooth. IMO smoothest out of all others. Can't say about battery life yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Moonshield:
Battery

Hello

For those asking about the battery life, it is quite good. Been using this rom for about a day and a half, and the battery behaves quite like most 2.1 sense roms. I personally don't like to see my battery decrease below a certain level so I didn't tested its total life time, however, I think it can stand for about a whole day without needing to be charged. The only things that seemed to love the electricity a bit to much were calls (as practically all the latest roms, 2.1 and 2.2, do), and music player. I use OC values of 691/352 so it can be the reason.

Handcent does work. The messages can be seen even without it (using the message widget in the LP for example), but if you don't use any message app you won't be able to write any SMS...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msc125:
BLACK NOTIFICATION BAR!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

look forward to trying this, i like your style; no stock messaging app, htc keyboard, and notification bar, exactly what was needed in 2.2 roms
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Now running Floyo 0.8 with stock froyo icons :)

Don`t like sense style ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
Same here :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrBackslash:
Great rom so far, but led notification and trackball is not working on my phone. Any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
There is no notification for trackball at this ROM,only for led!

Led notification works for me,if I get sms message!

My new!Like this settings icons

Floyo 0.8 REVOlution:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gp4004:
OK, the settings for the email apps were backed up with titanium.

If I restore this, the app quit when I try to compose.

I 've deleted my account, set it up back and for now everything's ok! :-)

I'm still using froydvillain 1.5 vanilla theme, no problem with it!

No wakeup issues for now, I use setCPU 576/176 max min and 352/176 conservative on screen off

Thank you for this totally great ROM !

download "Low resolution version for Android 1.5 (no voice input)"

That is a hard question, they are very similar.... For me both are great :)

I do notice that sometimes only the LED flashes. But many times the trackball is the one flashing for me. Anyone understand the logic in this? I was think maybe when I get an e-mail its my led flashing and when an SMS it the trackball (but not sure now given Ganii's remark...).

This "issue" is on my todo this, although not critical I don't like it, I would prefer using the trackball flashing as notification....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
I just flash flykernel-11 652/176 and then no more lag. I think that 528 would be the cause of this issue. It maybe a little low for normal run
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PAGOT:
Thanks Eran for the update seems to be working :)

Now, whats with that number? :D Why 1.01? Shouldnt it be 1.0.1 or 1.1? the "01" irritates me :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
LOL.

Yeh think of it as 1.0.1, just don't like all these dots, be thankful its not 101 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
erasmux... what settings do you use for display brightness?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Auto brightness.

Which reminds me that I forgot to add to the 1.01 release notes:

- Disabled "animation" of auto brightness

(added now).

Not sure if this will be a permanent change but since there are so many complains about the so called display battery drain this can't hurt....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
Okay, so do you have any recommendations for settings within CyanogenMod Settings>UserInterface>Automatic Backlight?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Didn't touch anything there. Are you having problems with it?

Basically its working ok for me. It does wake up at full brightness once in a while but not anything critical and moving from lighted to dark places seems to work fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
no, no problems just wondered if you had and recommendations.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that is VERY highly unlikely. your phone should be able to run just fine at a 480 top frequency even, I've done that for a long time. but if it works for you then that's great :-)

for me I actually do use setcpu to increase the lower frequency since I do find it is slow to come out of sleep sometimes - again the solution seems an unlikely fix since I can't see how the kernel wouldn't pop up to a fast speed much faster than I could even notice... but again if it works then I'm going to keep doing it.

I suspect the issues it more of a froyo/vanilla/LP (or whatever launcher you're using) combination issue, but it is a real issue at times. I've had it too. it's not a subtle thing - it's quite slow, as though the phone is running at a very low clock speed for several seconds until ti starts ramping up it's speed. I haven't experienced it since increasing my lower clock speed from 1xx to 352 or whatever it is at now. lots of guesswork here on my part - educated guessing, or experienced guessing I suppose.

but either way this is a terrific rom and I'm really happy with it. hopefully the video thing will be cured in a future sourcecode update from CM. I'm waiting to hear if other nightly users have this issue as well, but I will probably just flash a nightly myself and see if the video issue happens there to know for certain.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Hmm can i remove the quickoffice app also? without causing system instability?

Otherwise awesome rom, will be flashing soon :-)

Can i use the CyanogenMod themes with this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Yep np.

BTW am now updating the main ROM file to be 1.01 (so new users don't have to flash two updates). Should be up in less than 30 mins.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Main ROM file updated to 1.01 for new users.

Incremental update from 1.0 still available for 1.0 users.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
A new mirror for the newest version :). here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Thanks was fast :D. Thanks, added to main post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
Np, as long as I've got enough bandwidth I'll continue to make mirrors for this great rom ;).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aroaros:
Fixed in 1.01
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Ok thanks for the fast response, OI filemanager also? :P

And why are there 2 different Galleries?

Normal & 3D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
some people actually like the 3d gallery. I don't really know why, it's borked on the hero.

also 3d gallery seems to contain the defacto froyo video viewer app's launcher configuration, so watching videos could be tricky without it since I think the "videos" app doesn't actually show up in froyo's contextual video view app suggestion popup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msnxda:
Gallery 3d shows your picasa albums! This is great plus compared to the normal gallery.

Have used thisc rom for a couple of days nice and fast Change from Cronos 1.3 & before VR 1.5

GPS seems to log on quicker:)

using 691 & 161 kernal

handcent for messages is far better than th stock one

using flykennal 11 @691 &161
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zorxd:

nobody?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
for gps you could maybe test it yourself? I don't know the answer.

set it to navigate somewhere, walk outside and walk around in circles a bit or something to see if it updates after you lock the screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kroimon:
Flashed Floyo 1.01 this morning and had no problems at all since then.

Seems to be a great piece of ROM :)

I switched to LauncherPro (why don't you make it default if you like it more than ADW, erasmux?) using the "Replace System Launcher"-Update, installed the Sense style status bar and uninstalled some system apps for better replacements: GMail and E-Mail for K-9 Mail; Stock Browser for Dolphin; and kicked Google Talk.

And I installed a bunch of apps of course.

Will test the battery performance over the next days and report back how it behaves.

@erasmux: You should remove the warning about Titanium Backup from your first post as it works like a charm! You just can't restore some system settings from previous Android versions or try to restore everything without review, but that's true for every ROM change, not just yours, for the same reason you have to do a full wipe before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zorxd:
I was just asking this in case someone already had it installed. Shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to test.

This could make me switch to this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kroimon:
Nope, Navigation seems to quit if you turn off the screen - at least for me.

Stock Android keyboard and HTC_IME mod are installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ah! I figured you had it installed already. I don't know why I assumed that, silly me.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
Downloading now, I've been using FroydVillain 1.5 since it came out but I've experience many freezes and I'm getting tired!

Any issues with Exchange Server?

Every 2.2 based ROM I have tried has issues with connecting if I revert back to a 2.1 based ROM it works flawlessly.

Would love to give this a try

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zorxd:
Thanks for the information. It means that it must be a CM6 bug. Or at least a CM6-Hero bug since it also happens in Froyd since about 1.2 or 1.3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
it seems some exchange servers aren't setup well for froyo. I've had no issues with any roms on my exchange server at work, other than slide roms doubling the contact list incorrectly.

So no issues with exchange on this rom, but you probably will have trouble since it's very likely a bug in froyo, a bug in exchange, or a mis-configuration of your exchange server (the administrator there I mean, not you on your phone).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
ADW is the only open source launcher I know of. LauncherPro is not even free (it has a free version with, IMHO, annoying nags to by it). Personally I think LauncherPro is currently the best launcher for Hero - period. Having said that please note: I currently prefer to use ADW as it is open source. I might consider changing the default launcher to something else which is free but chances are slim if it ain't open source. Chances are zero for paid app like LauncherPro.

EDIT: About Titanium Pro, I rephrased the warning now its more precise. Read the thread here + a couple of more users I helped not in this thread all with very serious problems because of Titanium....

How do we use the manifest to build from source?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Trying to get to updating that part.... Haven't found time yet, sorry.

Hopefully tomorrow will get to that.

I know I say this every night, but now really about to release more complete themes :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Added Blue Floyo theme, thanks to Floomat and Wayferer :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Just flashing 1.0.1 now. :D

although while flashing it says 'Welcome to FloyoCM 1.0! dont know If you remembered to update that bit? confused the hell out of me, I'll have to check the build number in the about the phone section of the settings...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Sorry forgot to update that.... Thanks for the remark, added to first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
No problem! Just glad I Didn't have to re-download and re-flash! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fongfc:
Hello, great rom but I had a little problem. Sometimes I cant wake the phone up. The lights of buttons is on and the screen leaves black. I am using the default kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
Very nice rom. I've encountered an unexpected reboot when launching the music player while phone was" preparing sd card."

The only other issue was bluetooth not enabling and requiring a reboot before it would.

I haven't been able to repeat either problem.

Thanks for your work erasmux :)

PS. Jogball notifications flicker rather than pulse.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
ya well, that's because your phone went into deep sleep and couldn't wake up as fast. How I get around it is by using SetCPU and setting a ScreenOff profile to 352mhz max and min with the governor as Conservative or anything u like (except smartass because it might clash).

u can read the last couple of pages in the flykernel thread here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730471&page=48
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustybones:
Yup I'm having the "not waking up from deep sleep" problems too, 100% of the time. Also I left my phone untouched overnight only to try and turn it on this morning to find it was completely out of juice. Very weird... I don't know enough about the inner workings of ROMs or the flykernel, but maybe something is chugging away in the background which is draining the battery and freezing up the phone which prevents it from waking?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaffry:
Just some minor feedback after updating to 1.01:

I use chompSMS and I set the LED to flash in chomp when I get a new message. It worked fine on 0.8 but with 1.01, the LED doesn't go off at all. The only time I see the LED is when charging or low-battery. I tried finding an LED tester app on the market for the Hero to test further, but couldn't find any.

And thanks for the IPv6 in the new kernel - missed my Goggles for a while. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] floomat:
Try SMS Notifier, you should find that in the market :)

Let us know if it works for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond Geezer:
Just thought I'd put my 2 penneth worth in .......

I came from Froyd Villain 1.5 which was great but the GPS was very random - it would restart when gps was accessed by an app or take ages to lock on.

This Floyo however has been great for me so far (touch wood!!). GPS is very quick to lock on and I've not had any other issues as of yet.

Thanks Guys hopefully this will be my ROM for a while.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaffry:
No such luck. Tried SMS Notifier and it too wouldn't Flash the LED.

I also did a wipe of my cache and Dalvik-cache from recovery and restarted. Now the trackball doesn't flash either.

Doh!

I actually installed 1.0 and then installed the .01 upgrade. Maybe I should wipe everything and flash the rolled up 1.01... I'll report back if that made a difference.

(Would it?)

Update: After a reboot, the trackball is happily flashing again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
chieft, the Asia GPS config file is missing from the mediafire server..

care to reup it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Just install SetCPU and up the min frequency to 352 that solve all wake up problems. I will add it to second post.

This ROM Notification works only with jogball. Its one of quirks of this ROM - take it or leave it. Sorry, but I see not way to support both methods (did sense 2.1 really support both?!).

mediafire really hates that file, reuploaded it twice but it wouldn't take?! Anyway changed the link multiupload should work now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
thanks chieft, anyway.. what does it do?

i mean the asian GPS config file?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaffry:
Ahh, thanks for that. Saved me the trouble of trying to re-flash everything to see if it would work. :o

As long as there's some notification, I'm happy. Just need to re-train my eye muscles to glance at the trackball and not the LED. Hahaha...

On Sense 2.1 (on my Asian HTC Hero) from what I remember - Missed/incoming calls would be trackball notification, SMS notification would be LED (if set by the app like chomp or SMS Popup).

Thanks for the clarification!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
one more thing chieft, i understand in Froyo.. we do not actually need a task killer anymore (google had remove the sdk to kill apps yah) how do we exactly exit an app the correct way?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aronsky:
Hi erasmux,

Just wanted to say thanks for a great ROM. I came from FroydVillain 1.5, which was very stable and smooth. However, I had GPS issues there, so I decided to try this ROM. On top of GPS actually working, it also feels smoother and quicker, which is great.

I feel now that my Hero is nearly perfect :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Ok, this says it is possible, so for future releases I might try look into this.

You don't ;) Well depending on the app it may or may not have a proper exit. It may just linger around until android decides to kill it.

Basically you don't need to worry about that in android and you don't need to install any automatic task killer app (killing manually in the rare occasions you feel you must is ok). I personally have not even tried them, as in theory the best they can do is not do any harm....

Hi erasmux,

this Rom is really nice.I came from Froyd 1.5.

But it looks like Angry Birds is not working with ur Kernel. Unfortunatelly this is a deal breaker for me cause my Girlfriend really loves this game. Tried it with Froyd 1.5 and ur Flykernel and it doesn´t work either. With Ninpos Kernel it is working.

I´d really like to use this Rom, maybe u can fix this issue. Maybe more Games are not working ?!

Thanks

Ugh.... if my lass ever dictated my ROM or Kernel it would be a very dark day in my life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Actually game is coded very badly and is very buggy with any kernel and ROM (at least for hero). After enough retries it did work at least on 0.8 (search google or something everyone is having trouble with this ****).. Game itself seems like crap to me, but to each his own....

EDIT: to their defense, it was a beta version (at least when I tested it).

I have been using FloyoCM-08 for the past 3 weeks and have to say that the quality/performance is exceptional. The one draw back that I have noticed (only just!) is that I don't have the Google Youtube app pre installed. Is this just me or is it the same for anyone else? Is it included in the latest ROM v1.01

Yeah, this rom really is prefect!

I only have 1 small remark, my phone won't vibrate when receiving sms. Both the stock app as handcent has this problem.

It vibrates when I receive a call, so that it should be working I guess...

what to do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Weird, I have not got this error.

Reviewing and checking my post I noticed:

a) I had a typo in the previous manifest.xml although it resulted in a download error (and not the error you describe). Still try to download the new file and try with it.

I haved checked and with the new one it syncs the device/htc/hero ok for me.

b) I have also added to the 3rd post, the step of commiting the .repo/manifests/default.xml as I have had problems if I don't do this (again not the one you describe).

You can sync only the device/htc/hero with the "repo sync device/htc/hero" command.

Let me know how it goes.

First, regarding the big one, very strange no one has reported this, as it is a big one :eek: Personally I don't use BT so didn't notice but I can recreate the problem (at least currently). I will do my best to look into to it.

Regarding the minor, I am afraid that since I do not have a data plan, I am not the man to solve this issue. If you find a fix which I can incorporate into the ROM I will be happy to do so.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Using handcent SMS (free on market), it works - the phone will vibrate when receiving sms. It might be a limitation (or bug) with the messaging application you are currently using.

one problem all froyo roms have is the g-sensor calibration (auto-rotating when you put your mobile on a flat surface)... going back to cronos droid 2.1.3 fixes the problem...
