Shouldn't do that. Any chance you tried to install the CM untouched theme at one point? That theme was broken and therefore taken down. I am pretty sure that on a clean install of 1.1.8 the sense theme works perfectly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Simple question. How do I either uninstall the stock sms application or select hadcent to be the default? Followup question. Does uninstalling the stock sms cause any issues?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guy_smiley:
Just found this wrt: Angrybirds...

http://androidforums.com/hero-all-t...y-birds-android-render-issue.html#post1778193

Seems to be an OpenGL ES 2.0 issue... any idea if your ROM has it erasmux?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ante0:
OpenGL ES 2 requires an ARMv7 cpu, which the hero does not have.

So either the Angrybirds dev needs to make it OpenGL ES 1 compatible, or you need to buy a new phone :P

You sure you didn't replace the SU app? I did that once, and it acted like yours does. Well, it doesn't do anything.

This was because I flashed a theme which had a themed SU app, and that caused these problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Just remove the notification on the stock SMS and then only handcent should be active. There is an update to remove the stock SMS on my Floyo 1.01 post (4th post on this thread), but some reported this caused problems, so I decided to stop supporting it.

Angrybirds is playable but does suffer from this problem. Is there any ROM for the hero where this works better?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Or you could try something like root explorer and delete it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guy_smiley:
I heard a rumour VillainRom might support it... if anyone knows, it might be dkelly as he seems to flash every second day... as long as he plays Angrybirds :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] destinekira:
mms not working

Hi all,

i live in singapore and i tried to send and receive mms and it cant seems to work.

i tried to use the stock mms app with the zip update

and also tried removing it and use handcent but still cant work.

I've triple checked my APN but everything are correct.

any idea how to solve this? is it any other settings do i need to change?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
eeeer have been playing angry birds for weeks and had no issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and thats on both 1.0.1 and 1.18 floyo...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guy_smiley:
No issues at all wrt white images? What version of Angrybirds are you running? Which Hero do you have?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
latest version with no adds(ie paid ver) uk hero....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gawis:
I flashed this rom yesterday after doing a complete wipe butcould start Titanium Backup as it didn't get proper root..

I did get the SU popup which I allowed

anyone else having this issue and knows a fix?

temp switched to CM6RC1 because I need my root :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
The new Elelinux RC1 Froyo runs Angry Birds without problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Symondo10:
Hi Earsmux,

yeah ive tried all the other 2.2 releases that are out there and the problem still happens.

I have yet to try your latest rom relase so im going to do that now. if i come across the problem again i will get back to you

thanks alot

Sy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ante0:
No, no Hero roms support open gl es 2. because our cpu isn't armv7, and that's what it requires. Same with Flash 10.1. Can't be done unless someone ports it. Or makes a new version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lesa0208:
i flash this rom but i have problem with market, can download stuff from there :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toleds:
Angry Birds runs perfectly on this ROM (1.1.8), just make sure your kernel is 691 below, other than that it will hang....

i haven't encountered any major bugs on this ROM except that MMS runs only if data is enabled, on wifi it doesnt work.... not sure if that is the correct behavior...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
erasmux should put this on first page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769035:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toleds:
happened to me as well, but then i just rebooted the phone and from there everything is fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
And people should try searching and reading more before posting questions like, "can't download from market", "does this include flash", "where's my friend stream widget".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
In use the sense status bar, no problems at al.

don't forget to set the sense theme in CM settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattyguk:
Coincidence possibly, but after trying the normal market fixes of 'clear data' etc.. I tried the market fix from this thread http://http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=767886 and it worked!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guy_smiley:
Angry birds, my kernel is 672-176, any requirements on min? It doesn't hang, just lags.

I believe MMS should be on data as it's through a certain proxy via your mobile provider, hence why there should be an MMS setting in your APN list.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guy_smiley:
Can confirm it seems to be BFS that screws it up. Flashed flykernel-11c-CM-672-176-nologo and it works smoother!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] M@jkel:
After applying the notification fix I have the control over the jogball/ear led program notifications, but it seems that on the other way I have lost the low battery notifications (orange blinks)... My battery is now 7% and the led is dead black. Anyone else?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toleds:
I guess your right about the MMs thingy.

My kernel is 691-352 11c with BFS, no lags...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guy_smiley:
I am every now and then :P

Wow, changed to this and there is no lags whatsoever. I take back my statement about BFS... seems to be the lower rating, I believe without trying more kernels.

Now just for the programmers to get me some rendering :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
after a whole day with the stock theme, i had to flash back to the "broken" untouched cm theme.. raw aosp is easier on ma eyes :)

this has become my main rom as of release date :)

gotta edit the siggy..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marviv69:
Please do make a topic like elelinux Htc_Stock-Android you'll be very blagodarenbdumayu not just me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Thanks for the report I will look into this. Didn't go through the process of emptying out my battery to check those notifications :(.

I am really sorry about the CM untouched theme being broken, If I see 1.1.9 is delayed more than a few days, I will find a way to release a non-broken one for 1.1.8. I really have no intention to stop supporting this theme.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
dun worry bout it..

i dun use the stock browser anyway :)

cheers!

PS. but a working alternative is alway better ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dann26:
It seems that this is true as the low batt notif is not working on my phone even after applying the NotificationFix patch. But in my case this had not working neither without notif fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e4f:
I understand, that you will not check all applications, but anyway... Notification led (and trackball) do not work when I use Meebo IM, though led worked when I used official 2.1 ROM. During settings, when I press "Flash test" - flashing is OK.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
Same here :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
Nice, will try that right now :D

Edit : Oops, sorry for double post

And didn't know about the white color for using trackball... ANd I'm pretty sure that I tried it althought. This is a new feature with the notification fix right ?

Also, yesterday, I had strange bugs with GPS... it switch between 130 km/h (which was approximatively the speed I was driving) and 450 km/h...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bbogdann:
same here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Regarding the GPS problems, according to the RC1 thread here on the forums, the GPS libs from Froyd should fix that. Added an update to the first post:

Does this solve your problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I see Elelinux posted a market fix:

Does this update improve the situation with the market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
I flash it and let you know about that as soon as I can test it... that would be tomorrow :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattyguk:
I haven't had a problem downloading since yesterday when I applied it! about 4-5 apps to test
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Didn't flash fix, and Market has been working fine for me the past couple of days ... I guess wait until people start reporting apps not updating and downloading
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattyguk:
Typical.... It must have been a coincidence! I flashed just as the market started to work again! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
I tired this ROM out last night and it's great. Really fast, really smooth etc.

I've had to go back to VR12 for now though as when using this one I can't import my contacts from SIM card... it says my SIM is empty.

I installed Contact2SIM from Market and confirmed the contacts were still on my SIM. I then used the app to copy them to the phone however, when I go back to contacts I still get the same problem... nothing on phone and a message saying SIM is empty.

I don't use Google for contacts so does anyone have any other suggestions to get this to work? I also have all contacts as a csv file on my SD.

Not sure if it's related, but on most 2.X ROMs I've tried I've had problems with contacts. Either force closing when trying to import or not displaying anything at all. VR12 works perfectly apart from the bug that causes SIM and phone contacts to be visible even if one is turned off, but that's no biggie.

Cheers,

Lee
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] milko9000:
why not? It makes a lot of sense - easier to keep up to date, you can't lose them by losing your phone/sim, you can access them from computers and so on so you don't have to maintain more than one list, etc etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
Most of my email contacts are people I will never call... so I just like to keep things separate. In other words... I'm picky about stupid stuff :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slimjimwoods:
you could set up another gmail account just for contacts...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
Or you could use Titanium Backup which if I'm right, is able to do that :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mundigranja:
You can set "Only display contacts with phone number" in your contacts or phone app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Updated notification fix to take 2 to fix battery low notification, let me know if there are any problems:

Tried to check this, but could not find the problem. Its definitively not with the Hero specific lights library as no notification request is arriving at this level. My guess is some incompatibility issue either with 2.2 in general or just with CM6. Might be worth contacting the app developer and let him know about this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] milko9000:
But you never email the ones you do call?

^what that wise fellow says there. Get on with it :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
Do I need to flash all of the GPS and google apps zip files rom recovery in order to get them to work? Really looking forward to testing this tonight, as I found froydvillain a bit slow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jake_in_notts:
I use either recovery or ROM manager to flash them
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prupert:
Agree with you, VanillaEclair was good, but Floyo is AWESOME.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prupert:
What's the advantage of ROM Manager? It just seems a little dodgy to me to mess around with ROMS via an app, that is running from a ROM....

Is the only advantage that you can run it from within Android and haven't got to boot into Recovery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
I have just flashed all the updates/ zip files in one go and seems to take forever to load.

Dammit literally as i typed it it loaded cant wait to try it. Thanks CM and erasmux.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
It does loads of stuff really efficiently - but basically you decide what you want to flash, and when you tell it to go, it reboots to recovery and flashes what you selected automagicaly, definitely worth it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
Yes, it does :) Thanks !

Edit : but it's strange because I never had this issue on older versions of floyo, whereas I don't think you included the froyd's gps patch...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] M@jkel:
I have noticed a diffrent issue. When turning on WiFi, using it to download some files from my PC using ES File Explorer, and then turning it off, the phone starts to act extremely slow, almost unresponsive. Scrolling through home screens is like watching a slideshow. The only option to solve this is to reboot the phone. What may cause this? On previous version of Floyo that I've been using before (1.0 and 1.01) this was not happening after a WiFi session. Is there a way to turn of WiFi more gracefully, without suffering performance?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I had the illusion ES fixed this in their latest version. This seems to be a problem with the ES File Explorer and not the ROM. Check whats using the CPU when the system becomes unresponsive and you should see its the "ES File Explorer". Killing it (for example using OS Monitor) should restore responsiveness. I am using ES File Explorer 1.4.6 on Floyo 1.1.8 and the first time I tried to recreate the problem I indeed saw what I described above. Then I killed it and tried to recreate it a few more times and now it seems fine?! Not sure I understand this. Let me know if you find any more about this.

Final note, the BFS kernel is especially bad when some process (i.e. ES File Explorer) hogs the CPU, using the non-BFS kernel the ROM is still responsive enough to enter OS Monitor and kill the File Explorer easily - not the ideal solution but better than rebooting.

Previous versions of floyo used the froyd libs (same as this patch)....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
I know the pros outweigh the cons as far as syncing contacts with Google goes but for me personally it's just not what I want to do. My Gmail account is about 5 years old, so the contacts are a mess, and I don't want to mix them up with my phone contacts, which I always keep super neat and organised and limit only to people I do actually speak to or need to call.

I really just want to transfer contacts from SIM to phone... something that should work without problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bbogdann:
very good job with GPS toolbox....

i unchecked "use wireless" and GPS started in few seconds after a restart...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
can i delete the original music.apk and use an alternative?

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
Hi,

İ'm using this ROM since Friday and i like it very very much.

The Keylock sounds doesn't work because the files Lock.ogg & Unlock.ogg files are missing. I just pushed these with Root Explorer to system->media->notifications->ui. Now it works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
yes u can. Try it uninstalling with titanium back-up or with root explorer. The file is in system->app. search for the file called music.apk and delete it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aeggedeler:
For some reason it turns all colors purple-ish after exiting "Free advanced taskmanager" from the market. Otherwise a sweet ROM, eventhough i don't like ADWlauncer, it was pretty good. Even better with the launcherpro-fix :)

Keep up the good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
what do you think about the speed tweaks posted here earlier? Should we use them with this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
hey erasmux,

will you use the Kernel scheduler tweaks in the next version?

I love your ROM. Stable and smooth : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
My next release will among other things include the settings I find best given these kernel tweak ideas. But I really don't get what all the fuss is about:

Except for disabling NORM_SLEEPERS which also doesn't have any major impact, the rest of the parameters seem both to have no noticeable difference and it seems that all ROMs as far back as I can go already tweak these parameters in their ramdisk images - including the this one. The next version will slightly adjust these tweaks....

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
edit: never mind. clearing data from Market app did the trick,

For some reason i can't find sport apps like "Endomondo" and "Runner" from market and I can't install them from apk's... Do you have any idea what could cause that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
erasmux I have to commend you on this rom, its excellent, really fast, really stable, i haven't had any problems, and i think thats the first time i can say that about a froyo rom, and the battery life is probably the best that it's ever been, running this rom, so keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ante0:
Question: Does this rom suffer the horrible battery drain aswell as all other CM6 based roms?

Just wondering if CM fixed it yet :P

Note: this drain does not affect all users, I am one of those with the drain, and so are a lot of users on VR :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
What I have learned from reading almost every post on xda about the various releases of froyo roms is that battery life seems to vary widely from user to user. One post will decry the abysmal performance of the battery while the very next post boasts of the best battery life ever.

My experience with this particular rom is that it is slightly worse than froyd 1.5. But not significantly. I havent recalibrated it yet thought. Plus this rom is the most stable I have used yet so a minor hit on battery life is worth it to me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I believe that ninpo's kernels for froyd should also work on my ROM. If your up to it, try it and let me know: a) If they do indeed work. b) if using ninpo's kernel improves the battery life for you.

EDIT: it goes without saying you need a proper backup before you try it....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Thanks. I'll stick with yours until after calibration and decide then. I'm quite happy with the performance overall so far.

I do have 2 questions though. 1. Why 0.8? How do you decide on a number? Just curious.

2. This may be a stupid question after all this time but.....what does "rom" stand for anyway? It seems to me that if I'm going to pretend to know something about roms I should at least know that. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
Great rom

I flash almost every rom so far on this forum, I think you don't find a froyo better than this one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
1. Basically all version numbers until I release 1.0 (hopefully the next release which again hopefully will be by the end of the week) are pretty arbitrary. It only means I still to some extent consider this a test release. I have to admit it has far exceeded my expectations :D

2. ROM is actually "Read Only Memory", I assume we call these ROMs because on old phones the actual phone software was in read-only memory.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Hmm...I just assumed that rom in this case had a different meaning.

I am experiencing one issue which I don't know if it is because of the rom or caused by my carrier. Every time I reboot my phone I get a notification that I have voicmail when I actually don't. It's kind of annoying to always have to check just in case I actually do have one. Has anyone else experienced this. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Hmm, interesting. I share your carrier (Telus) but don't share your false VM notification issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Ya, that's why I always use GPS Toolbox to test my GPS when it does the funky chicken. :p

GPS Toolbox supposedly uses ONLY the phone's a-gps to triangulate location rather than the wifi assisted method.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
Will 1.0 be base on the sae base or do we have to wipe when coming from 0.8? if got to wipe, then i think i better wait for 1.0 instead of flashing 0.8 now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
if your phone contact list is that organized, i assume there is not alot of people in it. you could just make a group for them in google contact list without much work and set your phone to show only that group.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sreenath_pkd:
I flashed Floyo y'day. All smooth, very elegant. And FAST !!!

The only issue I came across, so far, is that, when I copy downloaded apk's into my sd card and try to install 'em via file managers, my phone reboots...This happened all the times I tried to do this. Did anyone else experience this issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lambstone:
Yeah i got the same thing too. When trying to install my backed up apps via Astro file manager, while in the installing screen, it would freeze and then reboots after a while.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gawis:
Thanks for the reply

how dumb of me not to test that :)

gonna wait for the new build and try again then
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
everything works great for me. I can restore my backup apps, install new apps.

ty erasmux for this great ROM :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] igor.tonky:
yeah, this is what i experienced as well. like when file downloads are in progress in background, the phone is less responsive with bfs version.

just wanted to point it out to people deciding on bfs vs regular kernel :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Actually spending a couple of days with the non-BFS 11c version, battery life seems great with it as well. Add these, delicate but still negative, issues, I am leaning towards using the non-BFS version in my daily use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
hey erasumax. any idea when 1.2.0 will be out? i cant wait to get it and stop flashing for the next few months! (: haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
eeeeer here's a DAM annoying problem and also somewhat odd for you...

Wiped my dalvik cache this morning(one of the was to get google map mod 4.60 installed) but now floyo stuck in a boot loop..... Only way to get it to boot is to wipe phone completely(caches,settings etc) and reflash a backup....

Never had this issue with vr roms.. whys is this an issue with floyo???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
That shouldn't happen, I am pretty sure I wipe the dalvik cache and it worked fine, no boot loops.

Do you have a logcat of this boot loop?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
unfortunately no as need phone up and running asap... so reflashed back to a backup.....Sorry..... I did wait over an hour till reflashing and duriung that time it just stuck at boot...

just a quick note other than this issue I have had NO other problems and is a DAM fine and near perfect rom...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrBackslash:
I wiped my dalvik cache about 20 times the last weeks and i never had issues with floyo. So i don't think its a problem of floyo.

@erasmux

Is there a way to enable both, the led and the jogball for notifications? I only can choose on of these options. If the led is blinking the jogball does not blink and if the jogball blinks the led ist not blinking.
