I would post a link, but I have to fewer posts. Search for "Battery Calibration Villainrom" and hit up the first result.

I'll try your suggestion erasmux. I've just been assing about with Kernels and decided to try the one in your signature: FlyKernel-11c smartass 614/176. So far so good.

Battery calibration

look here http://www.villainrom.co.uk/vBwiki/index.php?title=Calibrate_Battery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Hi Erasmux. A quick question for you. Is Floyo 1.1.9 using the latest 6.1 CyanogenMod?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Of course yes.

And more of that: the latest CM is better because Erasmux put upstream into CM 6.1 his fixes from Floyo 1.1.9!

So it's more like the latest CM6.1 is using part of Floyo... :p

Ok. It's exaggerate to say it that way.

Reception issues

Hi everyone, this rom is amazing, it is by far the best froyo for hero rom out their , one issue is having e reception keeps dropping when I'm trying to call, I'm using 63.18.55.06JH_6.35.09.26 which worked perfectly with the villainrom 12 which is 2.1 but since I flashed the new floyo it's been giving me problems, anyone can help? thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
That radio is very old, try either the newest radio or one version back, one of them should work well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
Thanks for the lighting fast reply :D, is 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 the latest?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biersoeldner:
63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 is the latest rom for gsm hero.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I must admit that this is the best rom I've ever flashed on my Hero so far. The battery is decent (a day or two with little to moderate use). It's really stable and responsive. I'm using the 652/352 kernel at the moment and the latest radio.

It's been running almost 6 days now, and it's as responsive as it was the first day. Can't say I'm missing the FV lag which used to show up after a few days. Haven't used this by far as much as the FV 1.5.0 rom yet, though.

FV was good, this one is great :)

So, thanks Erasmux!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stravi:
Installed Floyo 1.1.9 - my favourite Froyo ROM for the Hero so far.

Best battery life (around a day and a half at the moment), smooth and fast with launcherPro and no random reboots.

I use SetCpu at 576/176 smartass with no profiles.

Just one issue - like Elelinux's ROM, there is never a green LED - either for fully charged or for notifications. The fix didn't work for the other ROM, and I believe that the fix is included in 1.1.9. Anyway, not working on my handset. Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rf:
Headset not recognized?

Very good ROM, thank you erasmux.

But now to the problem I'm experiencing. When I plug in my headset (original HTC) to the phone it does'nt switch to headset-mode and the music keeps playing on the speaker.

Is this a bug or do i have to change something for it to work?

It worked sunday but this morning when i tried it didn't. Please help me :)

Regards

Kevin
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I have never experienced this or heard about such a bug.

For me it works well.

The regular holds: full wipe should solve your problem, then as you install stuff check what breaks it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badboyvtec:
Hi Erasmux, the Bluetooth dialer doesn't seem to work for me. The Bluetooth Dialer comes up when pressed on my headset but constantly says "Starting Up" without asking me to "speak now". Any ideas?

Would love this to work as this rom is so stable and smooth.

Oh also foxtophone doesn't work either just FC's on the phone. I deleted the ChromeToPhone.apk from /system/app using root on ES file explorer and then re-installed ChromeToPhone from the market still same thing. (Not so bothered about this though as the bluetooth.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Does it happen after a full wipe (installing only the ROM update and nothing else)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Great ROM it is more stable on my Hero then CF 1.5.1 was thanks :D

WAY off topic but does anyone know where erasmux and vatvedt got avatars like that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
Thank you guys so much, I just got the 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 Flashed and the reception isnt dropping anymore and everything is perfect! you guys are the best and so quick to help out:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badboyvtec:
I havent tried a full wipe. Think I will live with it as I have this ROM setup nicely now :D dont really wanna start faffing round now. Seriously though cant belive how well it is working. Cant imagine im gonna change ROM now for a while.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Glad it worked out for you :)

You know, if you want to be really updated, there's a newer version of Amon Ra's recovery out a while ago as well :D

Unless you haven't updated your sig. :p

v1.7.0.1

No need if you're happy with the one that you're using though. Just some people (like me) that have a need to have everything as up to date as possible, hehe :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
lol!, I haven't updated the Recovery but its working perfectly and I don't think i need to update it haha, but thanks anyway for the suggestion, for me recovery isn't as important as the rom itself :), as long as it flashes it and I can backup then its sweet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TrIde:
Hi there,

installed previous version of Floyo - then switched to another ROM

just flashed latest version

on reboot

it has the circling circles.. wihch go round and round then stop.. the screen goes black.. then starts all over again... been stuck in this cycle for ~10 minutes..

Iknow first boot takes a while but surely not this long?

I used this to flash it(won't let me post the actual URL)-

rootmydroid/guides/hero/howto-root-your-htc-hero-new

Any ideas? =/

TrIde
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
No reason for that to happen, unless you didn't do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe sd:ext in the recovery wipe menu). You did do a full wipe before flashing the ROM right?

If you did a full wipe, and can get adb working, please send me a logcat of the problem (i.e. "adb logcat > logcat.txt").
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TrIde:
Welll I stupidly didn't the first time.

So i rebooted into recovery - did a full wipe.

and reflashed the ROM.

But still just going round in circles.

How do i get the logcat - plug in phone while its in recovery mode? then run adb in a cmd prompt?

EDIT: After 5 minutes it has booted up nicely :).

Went through a dense moment.

Cheers for the quick reply anyway!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
First boot is quite slow - thats the way it should be (well the way it is). But the next time you boot it, should boot relatively quickly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
I know it may seem a bit vague but I feel like I have lost the pinch to zoom ability. On the homescreen zooming out doesnt work to get up screen previews and pinch to zoom doesnt work on Dolphin HD Browser or in most other cases where it would normally work. Any solutions? Been using the ROM for quite a whole with no problems. Ta
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TrIde:
Ah brill cheers :).

Love the ROM. Keep up the good work.

TrIde
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AzMean:
after a few days of using the ROM, here are a few bugs I found.

- During charge, the phone will go into sleep mode and cannot wake up eventhough the batt LED still shows. Any button will not respond at all.. will need to take out battery to reboot.

- Audio goes hissing in high pitch randomly. Most probably the DSP Manager bug.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I hear some hissing as well in the background while playing music, is that related to the DSP manager? Would disabling or removing help this cause? The hissing is quite annoying in the background when you are listening to calm music or songs with longer intro's. Don't even attempt to listen to Pink Floyd (or is it Pink Floyo?) ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snake logan:

Works fine for me. I didn't wipe coming from 1.1.8, however.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snake logan:
I came from Froyd, but as I said, with a full wipe :) Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
You need to boot into recovery, do a backup if you wish, do a full wipe (wipe data,cache and sd). Then install ONLY the floyo-1.1.9.zip and nothing else. After this it DOES work (correct me if I am wrong, but please do all the above steps first). Now you can start installing stuff and find out what causes the FC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rhapsody01:
I come from Fv 1.5 and have been using Floyo 1.1.9 since 1 week :

- Very reliable, no FC at all

- Very good battery usage (about 2-3 days, depends of my use with 690Mhz kernel)

- Very fast, smooth scrolling etc ...

- Openvpn works out of the box

- In fact all my apps work out of the box :)

Some questions :

- I cannot take photo by pressing the jogball, only with the touch button, is it normal ? Not a big deal anyway.

- Why including live wallpaper apps since it doesn't work ?

Thanks to you and cyanogen !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] APEX.7:
is everybody using 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 ??? does this add much benefit over 6.35.15.11 which is what im on?

erasumx, sick rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
Pinch to zoom not working any more any ideas why it doesn't? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:
Yeah same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gage_Hero:
Is there a good reason for going to the latest radio or is 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14 good enough?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yeah20002:
Can not synchronize time and date from the network

WHY ?

full wipe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjaanjean:
I used to have 6.35.15.11 running and everything seemed to be working just fine. Then I flashed the latest radio, just to give it a try. And everything is still working fine, only wifi is connecting way faster than before.

So I would say, just try it and if you have any problems, you can always flash an old one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
No really good reason that I've heard of, except it's always nice to have the latest update :) Use the radio that works best for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well its per person different if it changes anything. I would say, just try it. You can always revert back to an older one.

For me it is working great. No complaints at all. Got a more stable connection when st home. And my home is behind the sign that reads, end of the world. Then a small village and behind that is my house. Just so you get what the reception is like. In short, if I am able to call I'm lucky.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snake logan:
Ok after some investigation, found out that flashing the original CM theme you provided is the cause of the FC. Any ideas on how to fix? (besides removing it)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
This theming crap is beyond me. This time I really did made it as clean as possible. I think I will just stop releasing themes and concentrate on what I am good at :D

Anyway, regarding the "original CM theme", you can just flash the CM 6.1 RC1 official release + the "obsolete updates" on the first post and this should get you a ROM very very similar to Floyo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I changed from Floyo 1.1.9 to CM6.1 because I found that when I plugged in the headphones to listen to music, I was getting issues with only 1 channel working properly with the 2nd channel distorting badly. Each time, I would have to reboot the 'phone and then the sound was perfect.

Found the same problem with 1.1.8.

Since changing to CM6.1 and adding flykernel 11c BFS plus the Google apps, I have had no such problem anymore. Flykernel 11c on this rom does not make my 'phone smooth, so I changed to 11c BFS.

CM6.1 with Flykernel 11c BFS smartass 614/176 works like a dream.

No fc's or any other faulty issues. Great work you guys!

Ele, I'm waiting for your Floyo 1.2 rom as I have had such excellent results from your roms. Are you still planning to release it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I do not have such problems, so its a general problem with Floyo. Also Floyo 1.1.9 and the CM6.1 RC1 release are practically almost the same, so it shouldn't matter which you choose (except theme-wise).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks Ele. Of course this sound issue that I am experiencing, is most likely related to an app that the 'phone may be conflicting with because I don't see anyone else having this problem.

I think that once you release Floyo 1.2, I will do a complete wipe of the 'phone and the SD card and do a completely fresh install of everything.

The Htc Hero does not cease to amaze me. We throw everything that we can at it and it just keeps coming back for more. Incredible!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
Thanks era. u mean?? :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
This is strange, I agree. If the 2 roms are almost the same but only 1 of them is giving me this issue with the sound in stereo, then I guess it could be related to an app that works O.K. on CM6.1 but not Floyo? I am running the 'phone through a headphone amplifier but it works perfectly on CM6.1

Once you release Floyo 1.2, I will do a complete wipe of the 'phone and SD card as I am also getting tired of changing roms now. Thanks once again for all the hard work and also for replying to our needs. Regards.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
1.1.9 now some days, and battery life is awesome.

3200mAh battery, take of battery charger 01.00AM, now 6.30PM still 85% left.

Works fine, once reboot itself and once freeze, have to pull off battery (i guess, one app cause these, unistalled), but otherwise works great.

So no hurry with 1.2 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
hey erasmux, today i tried increasing the vm heapsize from 16 to 24 and even 32 and I have the idea that Launcherpro has become more responsive! I have always have had the issue that after a restart the launcherpro starts but then restarts before it loads the widgets. After changing the vm heapsize this seems to not always happen anymore either. Any comment on if these things could be related? Worth a try maybe ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ckhero:
I am using 1.1.8 and I am very happy with it, quite fast, very stable (in fact more stable than HTC own 2.1 release!) and with great battery life (sometimes with little use I can reach 3days!!) but I have one question why it is not Adobe Flash 10.1 included? It cannot run on Hero? I ask because I have seen some videos on the internet with flash running on Heros though I think all of those where on CDMA models. Also isn't it included in 2.2 by default? Other than that I have no issues at all with Floyo. The better usage of data and the vastly improved battery life are big reasons to stick with your release.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tuxmytty:
Hi,

I'm just wondering whether this rom is compatible with unlocking or if I'd have to downgrade first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
This is a custom ROM, you flash it from the recovery. You need a rooted device with a recovery which can flash custom ROMs (unlocked usually means SIM-wise). Downgrading is only necessary, if your phone is not rooted and your unable to root the current version you have....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tuxmytty:
Yeah, I've rooted via goldcard method and installed this rom.

I'm just wondering whether I have to downgrade to unlock to any network.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Sorry, have no clue about unlocking, my device was unlocked when I bought it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badboyvtec:
Hi Erasmux,

I realised why the bt dialer wasn't working embarrasingly I had deleted ttsserverice.apk from \system\app :[ . Now I have returned the file it is working after a reboot. Now this beats all other roms I have ever tried. Got a quadrant of 470 the other day :D . Just under the stock desire in the list. Booting is a much quicker and nicer experience now :) excellent bootscreen.

Thanks.

PS to other Parrot CK3000 Evolution car kit users having trouble pairing, I have figured a foolproof method to get paired. After typing in the 1234 pairing code your device should say "pairing..." under Parrot v5.2** in the bluetooth device list. Now walk away from the car enough to lose the connection and it will stop saying pairing and just say that your paired to the device. Now when you return to your vehicle your phone will connect perfectly to the car kit.

Fantastic ROM one very little niggle.

Hi everything seems to work very well. So smooth. I don't they will be a need to upgrade anything at the moment.

Just one very little thing which is to do the OS. In the Sound of option in Settings you can select that "Screen Lock Sounds" When selected it does not make a lock sound when closed, and I do not know why?

Has anyone else got that problem?

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hbls00190:
I spotted this to. It's mentioned earlier in this thread - do a search for the word "unlock". It looks like the standard lock and unlock sounds files are just missing. If you have them from another rom you can simply adb push them across and they work immediately.

Hi , I'm having a problem with USB mass storage. Every time when I connect phone to PC ( disable debugging, phone shown as grey mass sotorage ) and turn on USB mass, i wait 30 sec , then it turns to orange for 10 sec ( in windows still only shoving grey removable disc G) and then turns back to green. It happens every time, cannot resolve , even tried some USB switchers from market nothing happens. But when i fastboot recovery , it normally works. Any solution ? PS: If you can't understand and wanna help , then just PM-me. PS2: using windows 7x64 and with VR12 no problem , with Froydvillain , some issues , still working.

Rockplayer does not work with Divx

Before with the stock rom 2.1 I was able to play divx files with rockplayer and now installed this rom and I cant. I wonder if anyone can play divx files. Maybe I just need to tweak something.

Juan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Whats the error you are getting?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagore:
With the last rockplayer version it just say the aplication stoped. then I froce the close. On previous rockplayer versions it just hang. With another divx player wich I dont remember the name, that also was working on previous rom, here does not work either.

I just wonder if with this rom anyone has been able to see any divx movie.

Juan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I actually would like to at least examine such issues. The problem is I never could get it (rockplayer) to work properly on 2.1 ROMs either.

If you can share, the exact rockplayer version (the apk file) and a sample divx file (a small as possible) which works well on 2.1 but fails to work on Floyo, I will look into it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagore:
I attach the zip that has a mini divx movie of a few seconds and the rockplayer that was working perfect with the Orange stock rom 2.1.
