Just wondering... why doesn't any Roms have a progress-bar on the boot-screen ?

Is this because it's impossible, or just to ugly ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] equalsabracket:
Not that i don't appreciate the icons, but is it possible to get custom status bar icons? And how do i do this?

Love this ROM though, it's really nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am sorry, I am at a loss here. It seems the libraries (.so files) included with rockplayer are not compatible with CM6 (or at least with CM6 on the hero). I did not manage to get any further information. I did let it send a detailed report to google (from the market version, same version number), I doubt they'll do anything with it, but who knowns.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
You need to "theme" the ROM. Try searching around for a theming guide (although I searched recently and haven't found anything decent).

The basic tool you need is apk manager (google it and find its page on xda), then you need to decomplie the framework-res.apk (from the /system/framework), find the appropriate icons, replace them, and finally compile it with apk as a system apk. This is quite a lot of work to get it working for the first time.....

If you do go in this direction, and have trouble try asking the theming section.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauldgroot:
Try switching HQ off, I have the same problem but I don't know what the problem is.

I was using Floyo before and it had the same problem so I flashed this rom and the problem persists, so the rom is not to blame but the YouTube app is.

If anybody has a suggestion on what to do, please do so (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Does HQ youtube playback work on other ROMs? Does it work on any CM6 based ROMs?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Interesting question!

Perfect (definition) "excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement":p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Yeah I hear you. Some people have asked when an update is coming but for me almost everything is working so perfectly that I'm afraid that an update may just break things. Erasmux you've done a great job here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
:D

you are right guys. everything works fine.

but I'm still flashoholic :D

when will we see an update?!

(or just rename this to v1.0 and don't tell me, than nothing changed, and I will flash it again and I'll be happy)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Hey!

Your ROM just works. Is it the VE4.0 (my reference in stability) of Froyo?

BTW did you notice the new version of gmail on the Market? It works very good with this ROM. Cool.

Thank you for the good work!

Problems with incoming sms

Every time I install your fantastic rom, I find a small problem: my phone doesn't receive sms any more! I use chompsms, but it seems to be the same with any program... Only by installing your zip with mms app, it began to go! Seems that by uninstalling messaging apk something more went wrong...

In any case not a big problem, but I wanted to tell, in case other people meet it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lynt:
Great ROM; looks great with the black Sensey taskbar thingo. I'm with Voda, and I'm yet to get MMS working on any 2.2 ROM. That's the only thing I haven't been able to get working so far.

Very slick ROM; great performance. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yesyesyes81:
Very nice ROM, thanx!

Stable and smooth. Battery performance is great. Fully charged, 27hrs later drop to 51%, not many call of cause.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
@Lynt

I assume you have checked the A.P.N info for MMS?

I have had the same problem with multiple roms and for some reason often the Server details aren't filled in everything else is so when i add goto.virginmobile.uk as the server it works:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamsud:
This is almost perfect rom fast and smooth but have one problem, mp4 playback is laggy compare to eclair actually have that problem with all froyo roms so not rom fault but if u can create some magic it would be nice
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Well I haven now calibrated my battery. With bluetooth and/or wifi on all the time and light use (10 or so calls and about half an hour of gaming, checking emails regularly etc) my battery expired at 70 hrs. Not bad at all. This is now officially the longest I have kept a rom on my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lynt:
Hi, thanks, yeah have tried 2 different settings for APNs. I'll do some more research and see how I go. One suggestion was 2 APNs, one for mms and the other for internet, but it didn't work either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
excellent work

Hi Erasmux. Great ROM thank u very much.

Just one question. Are u planning to cook a Sense 2.2 ROM.?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msc125:
Awesome rom, thank you erasmux, great work!

Of note: SMS is working fine with me, I have no issues sending and receiving SMS using Handcent SMS
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Sorry, but I am not a porter/cooked. I am programmer, one of the main goals of this ROM is for it to be a development platform so if things annoy me enough and I have the time I can dig into the code and fix them. Sense as good a "end product" as it is leaves us with very little room for customizations and improvements.

To tell the truth after a few days of getting use to CM, I totally prefer it over sense - yes the look and feel are a bit more rough but CM is just so much better in almost all other ways (stability, responsiveness, little features and tweaks, etc.).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gawis:
yay, that means more time for the CM roms :)

although I wouldn't possibly know what is left to improve, this is a sweet rom!

been using it for a few days and really like it, the first time using gps it took quite long to connect but after that all went perfect

thanks for your time invested!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
Has anyone else experienced huge battery drain on this ROM? I have had it off charge since 1pm and it's now 6:50PM and it's on 37% with no use at all. Screen has been off the whole time? It is very hot too! This is the first time I've experienced noticeable battery drain. I switched to this ROM yesterday because froyd 1.5.0 was being too buggy.

Have I done something wrong that would have caused this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
probably it's something you've done or something you have installed in your apps that is eating battery.

it almost always is something that happens to people who haven't had a lot of experience with custom roms, with froyo, with android, etc. I mean a lot of experience being people who don't even think before automatically ensuring running apps are sleeping or killed, evil apps are removed, running processes make sense, and so on.

So it's likely something in your setup or installed apps or usage style. Hard to say though - I have great battery life wtih this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aniquibobo:
And what about MMS ?

MMS not working for me with this Rom.

APN are ok. (MMS working ok with FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v1.9)

Hmmm

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tbman1996:
Is this, in your, opinion, better than FV1.5?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
in my opinion it is.

I got many random reboot after few days using Froyd 1.5, but this one is stable ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I have this issue too... HQ doesn't work too well for me... only get sound
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] equalsabracket:
I tried to install the Blue Steel Floyo Elegance port, so i turned the phone off then flashed the theme, now when i try and boot up the phone the Floyo logo appears and the green circle goes round a few times before freezing, the screen goes black for a second and then it does the same again. It's been doing this for a while now. I tried taking the battery out and trying again, to the same result. Advice?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
I would suggest boot in recovery, reflash Floyo 1.1.9 if that don't work wipe phone and retry. Anyone agree?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] equalsabracket:
Alright, will try that. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauldgroot:
It's also faulty on the new Froyo Sense rom, so I don't think it's a rom error.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] equalsabracket:
I flashed the Floyo ROM again and it worked. Thanks.

My battery life using this ROM seems to be dwindling fast. What are other people doing to boost battery life? I already have auto brightness and everything except wifi turned off. I plan to listen to music a lot tomorrow during a long journey. Is that likely to take it down a lot faster?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Does anybody have problem with ringer sound .. mine is not working when someone calls me it just shows caller name/display pic/id but no ringtone sound at all .. i 've checked many times to make sure my phone ringer volume is not low.. but it is 7/7 and still no ringer sound at all .. Did i do something wrong ? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arcblade851:
Great job, Erasmux. Nice little ROM you got here. Responsive and hasn't died on me yet, heh. Got a small qualm, though. I installed LauncherPro then flashed ReplaceSystemLauncher. Unfortunately, ADW still appears in the Applications menu. Is this supposed to happen? LauncherPro is still in my system memory though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nirmalv:
Install titanium backup and use it to uninstall ADW
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
What do you can "dwindling fast"? How fast is your battery going down and what did you do with the phone during this time?

I also suggest, you let the battery to drain to a relatively low level (say < 30), then leave to recharge over night (until it turns green is not enough). Some say to clear battery stats in the recovery at this point, personally I have never done this but your call. Check battery life after this.

If you still have both installed, try to run the ReplaceSystemLauncher again from recovery. After its done, please select the copy recovery.log to SD for the recovery menus (I think its in "other" or something like that). Verify that the problem persists, and if it does, please post the recovery.log so I can see whats the problem.

Please note, that the ReplaceSystemLauncher does more than just remove ADW (which can be done using titanium backup and such), it also moves LP to the system partition. This can be important in the odd case, you remove your SD card or when there is a problem with the app2sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:
hello erasmux, when are you planning to update this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
had a couple of random reboots yesterday while using navigation any one else or just me?

Apart from that been working 100% since ive had 1.19 on well happy with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
I have had few spontaneous reboots, usually in night 11pm-01am. Some days works fine but then just reboot. :(

I have not install any apps or do anything different than other days...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I will update this when I have time. Currently, I am mainly working on the Sense 2.2 ROM, and a bit on my kernel.

You can use the CM nighties for now, if you want something more up-to-date.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Glad to hear, that you are working on the Sense, too. Most of us looking forward to try the 2.2 Sense and as 1.1.9 is working very well -at least for me- we can fight that "cold flashing turkey" :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waylander77:
I've also had a few reboots. Using Copilot navigation.

It seems Copilot starts OK, but when either at the end of the Splash screen, or when the map comes up it will reboot. Sometimes it will do this 2 or 3 times before it runs OK. I think it is when the GPS is trying to lock on.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I think copilot does not work with CM6 either. I personally do not use it, so its hard to say, but I assume copilot does not like android 2.2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alltheway3:
When using the pattern lock screen and playing music, I don't get music lock controls. Yet if I use the PIN lock screen, I get the music lock controls. Is this something I can fix?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagore:
I will stick with your roms, I like the way you work and the advises you give later. I hope your future sense rom, that I would love to try, will be posted on this thread, if not please let us know where, I dont want to miss it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:

Hi guys

I'm pretty new to this forum. I've been using this ROM for a few days and am very pleased with it. But I have one question ... How do I use my wallpapers with this ROM. Did I manage it ...?

I apologize for the bad English
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] menonino:
Hello

I'm also new of this forum and i'm using this rom since a week.

It seems works really well and i haven't had any reboot from now.

Ps: I'm sorry for my bad English
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:
It's good to know that you are working in sense rom.. yes, it's good thing for everyone but if it's not fast enough, I don't think people will be using it as their defult rom. I personally saying, if sense rom can't give enough speed and supports, I rather have normal floyo rom. Sense is not the thing I want, I want stable, speed and more features.. so.. people would be happy if you update floyo rom.

Today, I benchmerkarked floyo, and I got 4.27 Mflops at the cpu 352/576 range. battry is also very good.

and I don't think sense rom can ever have this..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] socratesig:
I agree with you. I have made the Linpack test in both ROMS, in Floyo 1.1.9 I got 4.62 vs 2.25 in Froyo Sense (even with FlyKernel-11c). I noted a big difference in performance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] equalsabracket:
My phone's battery icon said 35 earlier. Not sure if that was percentage remaining, or minutes remaining. I think it was both.

I'm having serious problems with battery life. Today I listened to music for 3 hours which took it down by 35%. I had everything else switched off at this point - sync, roaming, gps, wifi, screen brightness was at minimum. Then i went into settings to check this, in the 30 seconds it took me to get back to the home screen, i had lost another 2%. I'm afraid to even touch the thing for fear of it dying within minutes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:

Might be slightly off topic, but is there anyway of getting the HTC Photo viewer - or equivilant, onto this ROM? I've tried both Gallery and 3D Gallery and neither seem to be as good as the HTC version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phrag:
just like to say Thank You for the great work you've done with this ROM.

It is absolutely the fastest and most stable ROM i've ever ran, and I will continue with this ROM.

Also, than you for helping me with my weird extra notification error, a full wipe and reset fixed this issue that persisted throughout variosu ROM upgrades =)

Many thanks and greatly appreciated, Keep up the good work :)

I think I found something about why we cant see divx with rockplayer and other media players:

"RockPlayer lets you play almost any video file on Android. The only requirement is an Armv6 or Armv7 CPU with vfp instruction set. This is bad news for Magic, G1 and Hero users, because the processors of those devices don’t have vfp instruction."

It seems my next phone will have the VFP instruction that I have no idea of what it is. The funny thing is with the Orange stock rom I was able to see divx. All this looks so messy.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prupert:
I've used CoPilot no problem with Floyo 1.1.9.

You might find it is a memory issue (since CoPilot does seem to hog the memory) so ensure no other apps are running in the background (I only have Tasker running 24/7 on my Hero and it happily works with CoPilot).

I know an update was recently released on the market for CoPilot that provided full 2.2 support, including Apps2sd as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sheikhji:
Exact same issue here...I can barely get 6 hours out of a full charge and I would easily get 14-15 hours prior to upgrading to Floyo. Help would be appreciated :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
one common reason could be some apps running amok under the hood.

i can get up to 40 hrs with moderate usage
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sheikhji:
I have checked that...I have 'task killer' installed and heck frequently what apps are running in the background
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Actually 3 hours of music listening losing the bottom 35% is not that big of a drop. I think I lose about 2-10% in about half an hour of music listening (with screen off). Note that I do mean 2-10% - meaning the exact same usage will sometime go down only 2% and sometimes 10%. Usually if it went down only 2% it will go down a couple more right after even if nothing done with phone....

What I am trying to say is:

a) Battery meter is highly unreliable, you should consider at least a +/- 5% error when looking at it.

b) When you use your phone battery will go down fast. For me this was in every ROM I have tried. Possibly the froyo ROMs are bit worst than others (but I am not the one to ask I use my phone relatively low).

c) In standby, doing nothing, your phone shouldn't lose more than a few percent over night.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] socratesig:
No need of task killers in Floyo. The kernel does very well its job, and task killers are not recommended .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
any idea how I can manually move an app from ext to internal memory? I would like to move my home launcher app to internal so its quicker to load...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
First of all, my ReplaceSystemLauncher does this for you - read first post for instructions.

I think people posted that Titanium can also do (I wouldn't know).

The only other way I know of is using a shell. Using adb its also very easy to remount the system (adb remount), then just use "adb shell" to move the file you want.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Id like to put all my launchers on internal. I think titanium only allows you to do it if it is installed with froyo a2sd. If i want to do it by adb so i just move the apk to /system/app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
yeh. You need to remount the system partition as rw, for example using "adb remount".

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alltheway3:
Found a way-round. When the phone is asleep, if I press the volume rocker, it changes volume. If I press and hold the rocker, it changes track which is even better as I don't have to take it out of my pocket :) Not sure if this is a Froyo feature or Doubletwist music player but I'm happy.

Been on 1.1.9 since it came out and i'm very satisfied with it!

My only gripe is the vanilla android dialer! :mad::eek::confused:

It's so 1998, slow and doesn't have T9.

And Dialer One is if possible even worse, it's so slow I just wanna throw my phone out the window!

Why a decent dialer for vanilla android doesn't exist i still don't understand, it's only one of the main functions on a phone for christ's sake!

I'm hoping one of you guys will reply with a link to an awesome fast dialer that supports T9 :D

Cheers eramux!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I just discoverd today Ray Dialer, wich is fast enough for our Heros. You find it for free on the Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I agree.

I am using dialer one because haven't found anything better and I do think its much better than the vanilla dialer. But working on the Sense 2.2 port recently, reminded me how a good dialer should behave.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
Can't wait enough for a stable 2.2 Sense, I see that you're making steady progress!

YES, thank you so much for that!

It's fast!!

Although it lacks a lot in functionality, it starts with the call log and i can't seem to view my contacts or favorite contacs?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I'm afraid it's just a minimalist Dialer. What makes it fast enough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
I suppose, but i hope he (or she :) ) will add support for press directly at contact and call, and then view favorites, then i'll be a happy man!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
A question about the JIT compiler. I have been running Floyo 1.1.9 for the last 2 weeks with it enabled. Just thought I would see what it was like without it. Linpack score is lower but apart from that my Hero doesn't seem any slower. Programs open and run just as quickly, as far as I can tell. Wasn't it meant to make a massive difference?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I've been using this rom for a while now, and it's the best rom I've tried overall. This time, I haven't had time to play games, and I tried yesterday. It really seems a lot slower than FV 1.5.0 playing Angry Birds. I've tried to reboot and overclock, but Angry Birds really is a lot slower in performance. Anyone else experienced this?

On FV 1.5.0 Angry Birds worked almost perfectly, but on Floyo 1.1.9, it's really slow in-game. The menus are not bad, but in-game, it's lagging a bit.

Just trying to figure out if this is a Floyo issue, Angry Birds new version (since I've used FV 1.5.0) issue or just my phone.. Haven't tried to restore on older nandroid with FV 1.5.0 yet.

Haven't tried yet, but I'll see if I can find time tomorrow to test it on FV 1.6.0. Floyo 1.1.9 is really great otherwise (non-gaming) though. Haven't tested this extensively. I just noticed it when I tried Angry Birds. :) I don't usually play much, and I haven't tried A.B since FV 1.5.0 in October.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I will update this ROM as soon as both time and willpower will join forces.... I wouldn't hold my breath, I have other android projects which I am concentrating on now.

You can always use a CM nightly.....
