hmm, quote from the main post:

Not sure I can put this any clearer.

App2SD will work in the best way just by not touching anything! The old (non-froyo) way will automatically be used assuming you have an extended partition. Additionally apps that support froyo's new app2sd method will be moved to the SD main partition (under .androidsecure) as is the default for Froyo. You change this default under the "CyanogenMod Settings" -> "Application Settings". The final remark about widgets,etc. is only if you use either the "CyanogenMod Settings" or manually move apps to the SD the froyo way (assuming you have a ext partition will actually move from ext partition to main partition of SD).

If you still have problems, without touching any of these settings, it is probably due to the restoration of apps through titanium backup. I do not personally use Titanium Backup but from what I gather: Titanium backup is not built to transfer apps between different ROMs, theoretically you should only restore backups done on the same ROM. Still this, at least partially works and saves a lot of work, so I would advise trying to use titanium backup but then removing and reinstalling all the apps that cause problems for you. If your going from 2.1 to 2.2 might be worth not using Titanium backup at all as there is a big difference between 2.1 and 2.2. Between different 2.2 ROMs for hero there is very little difference (alll based on CM6) so I think using titanium should not cause too many problems.

Oh, and I added some punctuation marks in app2sd section of the main post ;)

thanks erasmux ,

that means reinstalling .. omg everything...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nimzp:
This might be a silly question but is this for a sprint hero or gsm ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MacaronyMax:
Yes it is silly :p It's for a GSM Hero, (There are two different sections btw :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
This is the GSM forum, hence it is a ROM for GSM.

I think the correct forum for the sprint hero is here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=643

Good luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nimzp:
Thanks for the reply guys !!!!!!! That was close, already had it on my SD card......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Latoc:
Hi,

Using Titanium Backup to backup and restore USER applications and data DOES NOT create any problem at all.

What DOES break everything for sure is backing up and restoring SYSTEM data to a different rom and/or rom version.

It's like if you're trying to restore Ubuntu settings on Fedora !!!

It won't work... Also careful with the settings in Titanium, don't mess with them unless you know what you do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msnxda:
Thanx for this rom. I had VE4 as default ROM. But this one feels just as stable, snappy and clean. And its 2.2!

If it is not broken dont fix it. Keep it as good as it is now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rionline:
first rom, that feels like it should! i luv it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
There are GPS config updates on first post.

There is a CM untouched theme on first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badboyvtec:
Hi Erasmux,

Still using your ROM as it is the best one but a small thing. I have broken the trackball notification kinda. It still flashes brielfy for a split second but I liked it when it stayed on and flashed off now and then. Any ideas what I have touched? I was playing with the LED settings and then reverted them back to default and I cant figure it out. I wasn't gonna bother flashing the latest update of floyo but I will probably if it will fix my trackball led notifications.

Thanks,

Alex

Hallo Erasmux,

Well I've flashed the 1.2 update and after doing that my battery seems to drain extremely fast after full charging it, with 25 mins of using my phone with everything turned off except my mobile phone connection I've lost 30% of battery do you know what the problem is here? Is it the new kernel what is included? Or is it the radio(63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14)? Oh and im using a speed of 614 max and 19 min, except this the rom is great. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Sorry, have no idea. If you do clean installation (meaning full wipe and only then install the new version), it should fix "everything".

Can't really judge battery drain over 25min, especially after flashing a new ROM.

Try rebooting it (if you haven't already done so), then recharge it overnight to "above" 100%. Then check the battery life over at least a few hours of your regular phone usage.

Additional things worth trying (although I doubt they are to blame):

- Flashing the newest radio is always recommend - I use 6.35.17.03.

- For the troubleshooting, start with using the exact same min/max speeds you previously used (I am guessing you min was not 19Mhz, since I have just added that...).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szalay16:
hey erasmux

Im using your ROM since a month and its excellent.I flashed the latest version today and its work like a dream :D

btw maybe its not cuz of your ROM, but i cant install angry birds and other application which size are bigger than 10MB, somehow i could install it but lagging like hell and on my se X8 its smooth, do u have any idea what is the problem?

I know its a bit childish but i wanna play with it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B-bal:
Hallo erasmux,

alright thankyou I will try it,but from where did you get the latest radi I can't find it on XDA

Thanks again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Its a bit hard to say with so little details about the problem.

There is a quite common problem, that apps which try to install to the SD card (froyo native method), get stuck because of a temporary file leftover.

If you check the logcat it should give more detail.

I think it should be something like (googled it so not sure its the exact right file name):

/mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec

Try using adb to check which files which have "tmp" in their name you have under this directory:

adb shell ls -l /mnt/secure/asec

Then remove them, for example:

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

If this is not the case, please share a logcat of a failed attempt to install the application.

A small note about angry birds, try version 1.3.5 - it has some graphic bugs (invisible stuff) but otherwise works almost ok on the hero. The newer version works very badly. Leave me a PM if you can't find 1.3.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bteong0:
I flashed twice and It bricked twice. Gonna try one more time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Flashed what?

What problem do you see?

Where is the logcat?

PS: I clicked the "thanks" button by accident, which actually is not a bad idea, since I do thank all those who report bugs. In this specific case I would appreciate a little more details, because as it is I have no idea what you are talking about....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
Switched to FV 1.7.2 for a couple day and then returned back to FY 1.2 since yesterday. FY 1.2 is better than FV 1.7.2 in my opinion:

1. perfect app2sd

2. without any OC and same FlyKernel 12, FY 1.2 got quadrant score is 4XX whereas FV 1.7.2 got only 2XX (any tweak of FY 1.2?)

3. Green LED when 100% charge

The new market and gingerbread keyboard are so good. Trying to apply GingerFroyo Theme ATM. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Did you managed to get the new market working on Floyo 1.2? I tried for a very brief moment to include it in the 1.2.0 release and it didn't work for me.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
Yes, from the forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869652, I use

"FOR ROM Cyanogen 6 : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2VL795I0 (flash recovery)" and it works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abucan:
What about ext4? Do you recommend that we convert ext2 partition to ext4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bteong0:
Sorry. It was the cm untouched theme from first page. Fully wiped before flashed floyo 1.2. After flashed the cm untouched theme, my hero stuck in the animation loop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Warper4:
I have problems to connect Market with wifi. I've seen that I can not connect to talk over wifi, but yes i can, through mobile data.

I use radio 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03

In Floyo 1.1.9 worked fine...

I can navigate through wifi and not problem here

???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Works fine here, still missing a logcat.... Btw the cleanest and fastest way should be to do a full wipe, flash the Floyo-1.2.0.zip and straight after it (no reboot) the CM untouched theme and only then do the first reboot. Let me say it one last time: For me it works (even with a reboot in between), so I really can't help you without more information - in this case, a logcat of the problem might shed some light on it.

Does anyone else have positive or negative feedback about the CM untouched theme?

Works fine here (with 1.2.0 after a full wipe).

Did you do a full wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I think the Sense status bar breaks ScummVM again.

Haven't tested much yet, but it seems like the same problem as with 1.1.9 and the Sense Status bar the last time.

I didn't do a full wipe though. Figured I'd let you know first. Hoping to not have to do a full wipe yet.

Otherwise the upgrade to 1.2.0 seems to work good so far. Need to use it some time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Warper4:
Yes, I do. And I flashed again, but nothing change :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] invinciblervd:
Somehow I've noticed that battery life is better in fv 1.7.2 than floyo 1.1.9 . Im seeing considerable differences....any improvements in 1.2.0 in that respect ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:
Can you try clearing market data....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Warper4:
Thank's. I had already tried, but does not work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Folti:
Hi,

I can't change from stock keyboard.

When I long press and choose Imput Method, nothing happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Actually I do. Until recently I was under the impression that a journaling file system is a very bad idea for flashable storage. I still think its not ideal but better than the other alternative.

I have been using dual booting, placing an entire development ROM on an ext2/4 partition and using it for development. And when using ext2 it would get errors almost every boot and every couple of days get corrupted to the point I needed to restore damaged files to get it working....

It seems that if you only use it for app2sd, there are very infrequent changes to this volume (only when you install a new app), hence it does not make much difference. But this means, that for this ext4 will also not pay too much overhead because there aren't much changes. And if there are many changes, if I have to choose between the fact the my SD life will be a bit shorter (and then I can finally get a faster one :D) and having the risk of my data corrupted on a daily basis - I prefer the first.

Currently, even without the the Sense status bar, after a full wipe, this Scumm keeps crashing on me. Does it work for you on the CM6.1 final? It seems this app isn't written very well - not much I can do about it. You can stay with 1.1.9 if it works fine there.

I can tell you, to the best of my records and memory, I used the same technic which worked fine on 1.1.9 to create the sense status bar update for 1.2.0.

This time, the CM untouched theme was also created in a much cleaner way.

I have no idea. Note the market is not stable for me, especially on the weekends. Try to check it over a couple of days and see if it works for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Yup, confirmed. Flashed the Floyo original theme (1.2.0), and ScummVM worked perfectly.

Back to recovery, flashed Sense Status bar (1.2.0) again, and ScummVM was broken.

Erasmux, could you please do what you did the last time to fix this?

Ref. post# 1122: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9070484&postcount=1122

Much appreciated! Thanks either way for your effort on this rom. Love it :)

Edit: You wrote your post at the same time I wrote mine and tested. I can't do much more, so maybe I'll revert back to 1.1.9 or try out FV 1.7.2 to see if it works there. Don't have the time to do that now, so I'll use 1.2.0 for the next few hours at least. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
ScummVM works on Floyo 1.2.0, just have to use Floyo original theme.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Thats the problem, I already did what I did last time.

Add to that the fact that for me it crashes on the Floyo 1.2.0 original theme, its quite a problem for me to do something about this....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
When you say that apps2sd is re-worked, is it faster?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Ok, thanks though. Appreciate the feedback. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Still, there is one thing worth trying, but it will take me some time. I'll send you something to test either late tonight or late tomorrow.....

You are sure that with the original floyo theme it works fine, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Awesome, thanks!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
There isn't much to make faster, the apps2sd is just a symbolic link from your /data partition to the ext partition.

The new implementation is more in the lines of the CM infrastructure and it should hopefully be more fail safe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
So i flashed Floyo 1.2.0, after messing around with FroidVillain 1.7.2 for a few days :)

It's like the first time i flashed my HTC Hero with a custom rom (that was also Floyo),

Nice, Speedy and stable. Flashed the updated market and Gingerbread keyboard,

Flashed the Ubuntu Fonts, Floyo Full Gapps and FlyKernel-12 Pre 2.

Installed LauncherPro 0.8.2 and did the "ReplaceSystemLauncher update.

Also replaced the BootAnimation to the MS-Dos bios bootup one.

All working great :)

But after using a few custom roms, i wonder if it would be possible to include SetCPU,

like FroidVillain 1.7.2 has, You can set all these stuff in the settings menu.

Thanks,

I Think i stick again to Floyo for regular use :)

--------------------------------------------------

There's now one thing i'm looking for, a descent clock+weather app that looks abit like the HTC Sense one :),

anyone that knows a good free app that does that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Does flashing Floyo 1.2 automatically include the new Flykernel, or should I download and flash that separately?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
SetCPU's developer specifically asks not to include it with custom ROMs:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

You can download it freely from the XDA post above.

Froyd, includes some other app. I have no idea who develops it and if Villain have his ok to include it in their ROMs. In any case I don't like it.

I also don't know if its available on the market or something. In any case you can always grab the apk from their ROM zip file and install it on Floyo if you like it.

Btw, one very small remark, Floyo 1.2.0 already comes with FlyKernel-12pre2 so you don't need to install it :D (but no harm done by reinstalling it)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Never checked, just did it to be sure :)

Doesn't hurt to do :)

I've read it in the first/second post, that it is included :), thanks

The setcpu the use looks complete different, would have taken a screenshot, but it's to late now :/

Thanks for the Link, but i already had that one bookmarked ;)

Great job on Floyo 1.2.0, One of the better CM based roms i ever used on my HTC Hero

Really appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
It includes FlyKernel-12pre2, like stated on the change log on the second post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Looking in the zip of FroidVillain, the don't use setcpu, but CPUSpeed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:
you can find it in this thread for free.... use search...;

I hope this helps you..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:
Might be wrong, but from memory I am fairly certain Froyd does not include SetCPU, it includes an alternative app called CPUSpeed.

EDIT: Oh right, I'm too late.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bunk3r:
Thank you very much Erasmux! Great work.

I've just installed Floyo 1.2.0 upgrading from 1.1.9 without wipe anything and it looks working fine. No problems at all right now. Just need to re-flash the launcher changer (I use zeam).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Got it out of the FroidVillain package already ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bteong0:
Solved. Just noticed the dl link was updated and used the latest Floyo1.2.0-CM Theme.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TsunKit:
I've wiped everything, but eveytime I try to flash the rom I'm getting a corrupt file and then installation aborted.

Gonna try and redownload and re-flash!

Can't wait for the best Hero rom :D

EDIT: flash successful, erasmux, you're a genius.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ykxhda:
Erasmus,

Thanks for your great effort. I have waited this long :P

As a long time user for floyo1.1.9 (which I think it's the best froyo hero rom so far), here's my few initial result on floyo1.2:

1. GPS identifies the satellites and obtained position very fast! - less than 1 mins.(whereas in floyo119 it took more than 5 mins sometimes similar to other roms, based on flight mode which only gps on)

2. new app2sd is really great - with same set of apps i installed these are more than 40M LESS required in the main space.

3. quick response to the built-in camera, seems faster than those in fl119.

4. New gingerbread keyboard, of course, works here like before.

5. Using traditional Chinese interface, all fonts disappeared correctly in all menus. (whereas in some other 2.2 roms, sometimes for certain menus they only display English)

Again, thank you very much!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Flashing over 1.1.9 without wiping was too unstable for me. Phone hung a few times and rebooted when using the gps now and then. Did a full wipe, and all good so far. Needs testing, but looking good!

Except the Sense Status bar which is broken when using ScummVM, though.

Thanks for another great rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Can you verify, that for you, ScummVM does work fine without the Sense Status bar update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Wiped everything then did the following:

-Installed Floyo 1.2.0

-Ubuntu fonts

-Sense Status Bar 1.2.0

-Rebooted

-Restored a bunch of programs.

-Rebooted

-Tried ScummVM with Sense Status bar. Broken.

Booted to recovery and did a nandroid backup.

-Installed Floyo original theme 1.2.0

-ScummVM starts perfectly

The problem acts just as the last time with 1.1.9.

Haven't tried the CM theme though. That was also broken the last time with ScummVM. Don't know if it is this time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Ok then I'll try something, later tonight if I have time - if not tommorow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Thanks :)

As always, much appreciated. Thanks again for your great support on this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
On another note, I too couldn't get the new Market to work on Floyo 1.2.0. Seems like the problem isn't just with Floyo 1.2.0, but with FV 1.7.2, Elelinux's FROYO_2.2.1_RC1_update1_Android_Stock and Cronos Froyo 1.7.2 rom as well.

It's probably not random for those who made it work, but maybe an older rom (CM nightlies?) or kernel?

Would be nice getting this to work. Or we could just wait for Google to push it to the Market and hope we get it for our Heroes as well :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am pretty sure its dependent on which gapps update your are using. The market update only includes the Vending.apk but not the google frameworks. I am guessing that if you use the latest update from the 20-10-2010 it will work for you. But I am still using the previous full update for Floyo 1.2.0 (and I think at least Elelinux does the same) because the latest update is missing localization to some unorthodox languages such as German....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:
How much problem are people getting in this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Warper4:
Surely this was what happened, because now working normally. Many thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msnxda:
Thanks for the update Erasmux.

I noticed some serious lag in scrolling though. Using for example Opera mini or the xda tapatalk. After flashing back flykernel 11c it is gone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
Same problem as msnxda, but then on FroydVillain 1.7.2.

After I flashed back too 11c (coming from 12pre2) everything was smooth again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Thanks for the info. Guess I'll have a go a bit later at installing gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip and see of it works for Norwegian, and with the new Market. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I was going to flash this rom but wanted to do a nandroid backup first. When I run nand backup I get the following msg: Error : Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!

exactly how do I do this or is there another fix for this?

Ok im now going crazy. When i try to throw a widget away it sometimes get some arrows around it and i can make it bigger and smaller. But how to heck to i get the arrows away only solution i got is to reboot phone and that is annoyong so please help me or mr hero dies. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:

I'm flashing and, I want to know about it.. ;and i don't have time to look over every post..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] floomat:
i guess you should just press back. but try it, its that way on my phone but i use launcherpro
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androidnisse:
The simple way always work thanks. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Right,because you use launcher pro and not launcher pro plus.

Only the Plus version can resize widgets!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
None as far as I've experienced. I tried without wiping first, but that made it unstable. After a full wipe, everything seems to work great!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Yup, you're right. I installed gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip and then installed the new Market update.zip for CM6.x roms, and it worked great. You need the latest gapps to be able to use the new Market. Worked great with Norwegian language at least :)
