Really Wanna Try One of your roms, but cant download from your link on main page, dont matter what i try, it only downloads 8mb of your rom, then stops :( can you do a mirror download? thanks!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
been using this for an hour or so now and really impressed... is it the rom? the kernel? I dunno but its quick ... no lag at all... typing is nice and snappy :)

its a keeper... overscrolling works in this too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamoney:
Thanks for the update, but I've to say the battery life now is a nightmare. Left my phone on 90% last night today morning its on 35%, even after 20 mins usage it jumped from 35 - 10 then the phone had a 2 strange reboot.

Any insight the problem plz?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm I have not noticed that my battery life has become worse,but rather better but if it continues to consume excessive amounts of battery for you, you should consider switching to another kernel.This kernel in the rom is just as flykernel12-pre1, maybe you should change back to flykernel-11c.

But try to charge the phone fully first, and use it as normal to really determine the batterydrain started with this update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mach2005:
Have you callibrated the battery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
my phone is on 50% still 12 hours or so after first install.... brilliant battery life here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:
I tried the new sms & phone shortcuts from lock screen.

Phone shortcut works but sms doesn't : it slides but nothing happens

Do anybody knows why and how to fix it ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
MENU - SETTINGS -CMSettings - input settings - messaging tab application
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:
Cool, it works ! thx :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
This is a very old message, but I used "search this thread" to get it.

I am suffering with the same problem ever since installing this ROM.

- I tried rebooting in the evening and then setting the alarm, but no results.

- I don't use a taskkiller, ever

- I do get SMS and Email notifications at night

- I tried waking the phone 2 hours before the alarm was supposed to go off, thinking that maybe the night was too long and he went in some kind of deeper sleep. But no.

I'm gonna try the suggested 'Alarm Klock' now, but I feel unearthy for not fixing the issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
still cant download :( so using another rom until you add another link

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moon_bear:
Sir~~

I ask you a question? I am a novice! I want to know how to Delete LauncherPro?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
@moon_bear

Just download the zip for removal of launcher pro, place it in the root of your SD card and flash that file in your custom recovery. Just like a new ROM or radio ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
it's not even here, he replaced it with adw 1.3.3
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Alarm Klock is where it's at! Works on EVERY rom for me without fail. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biker_oui:
OMG!!!

am fist try this rom but it amazing!!!

very very smooth. and u know what, from fully charged batterry after 8 hr. my mobile show on 96% battery!!! (stand by)

GREAT :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BrZ!:
What's the update about?

grtz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Does this have the updated screen driver which is included on Froyd?

I noticed that the touch screen games seem to be a little laggier than the when I played them in FV1.6.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Can you compare the linpack score when moving the finger on the touch screen between the two ROMs?

According to the Villain team this should show the improvement by their "mystical" touch screen driver. But, although I have spent hours on this, I have not been able to find any difference between the HTC driver (the one which my kernels use and hence I assume this ROM uses as well) and the Villain driver or even if I take the Villain kernel binary itself. Note I did not actually flash Froyd 1.6.

In all cases, I used performance 614Mhz to test it and got around 2.6 linpack scores normal, but when moving my finger it would go down to around 1.2-1.6 (I guess depending on how much I move my finger).

If anyone, can find how I can sense a quantitative difference (i.e. linpack score), I can work on updating my kernel....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I have used erasmux kernel source and have the same setup as flykernel12-pre1 only difference from erasmux setup is default frequencies 352/576 instead of 352/528 MHz

No to your question.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Currently under this current install of Elelinux running at 576MHz, My Linpack dropped from 3.9MFlops to 2.1MFlops while drawing circles on the screen.

I haven't taken a Linpack score for FV1.6.

I'm sure Pulser would point you to the git source of the driver if you asked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
The source of the driver is linked on the FV1.6 post, thats not my problem. The problem is that when I try compare the HTC driver with the Villain driver, or even with the kernel binary from FV1.6 - I see no difference in the linpack score....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wwfc:
Excellent ROM, good job :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shluggity:
It is here, just as it was with the previous v1.9 release.

I also noticed that the HSPDA icon is no longer posted MIA - yaay! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] michel1971:
Going too give it a try.....feels realy fast from the start

looks great:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
Downloading now, hope that this one is going to keep me at Froyo in stead of going back to "good old 2.1 RCmix" each time :) . As I see in reply's above me everybody is very eager about this SE (special ed.)!

Thanks Elelinux for your time you put is these roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
Downloading now, have a good feeling about this one, hope it matches up to expectations...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] michel1971:
it really does........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Android001:
I think it may actually be the kernel i flashed the 10a BFS on my froyd 1.5 and the battery + performance was fantastic much better than before i flashed it... i think the BFS version is really good i havent flashed it yet, but i think batt will improve and calibrating is such a pain! so id rather do this :)

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
Gps works like a charm here. Get locked within 10sec.

Btw, I never had GPS problem with elelinux rom. From 1.7 to current special edition. If you had problem. Try check your radio version.

Again.thanks elelinux. The rom silky smooth by far. Now let see hows the battery life goes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ts2k2:
Thank You

Very nice and quick and fast fast nice work :) there 2.2 :) was 2.1 but now 2.2

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
Yes. The bfs kernel had better battery life compare to non bfs.

Now I'm keep the non bfs kernel for a day or two with this special edition n see how its goes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Thanks a lot for the ROM. It feels very smooth and fast. We shall see how the battery life is.

What about Car home and some other apps? Will you make them available as you did with 1.9?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
If you look at the 1.9 thread gapps_update_part2.zip has CarHomeGoogle,CarHomeLauncher,com.amazon.mp3,GoogleQuickSearchBox,Maps and VoiceSearch included if you don't won't all of them just install them individually as .apk files
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] michel1971:
got some problems with the camera,when pushing back phone is freezing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] michel1971:
flashed kernel 10a again and is better,but camera shuts down when pushing menu ,not on pushing back button

so ITS GREAT:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
As most people have said already this ROM is nice. Nice work ele.

however... I do feel that 1.8 was the quickest and smoothest so far. it was so nice and smooth I didnt really want to upgrade but I did because I wanted a better theme and there were no really nice ones for 1.8 :(

but i guess ill stick with this now because its not that much worse and hopefully the update to 1.9 will push it back towards 1.8's smoothness :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
Flashed this today will keep you posted but so far so good hope battery life is ok?

Cheers Mate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AntonioTrindade:
Great ROM

Just flashed it!

So far, this ROM seems even smoother than 1.9.

Love the theme, but would like to go back to the circular battery indicator. Is this possible? (Of course it is...) How?

Great work, eleLinux! Keep it up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Wiget add menu

@elelinux, I like the new(er?) widget add menu. Is this something you did or something from Cyanogenmod? I hated before how my add widget menu was so cluttered.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Have a look at this thread

Super Circle Battery with %

Gives you the mechanics of how it's done, decompile framework-res.apk edit recompile then sign the file

Or there is an automated kitchen to do it

I did try but didn't really have the time to suss it out properly Kitchen didn't work for me battery stayed the same but the status bar changed colour and the manual method i wasn't too sure about what files exactly i was replacing or if they were compatible i was trying to copy C0mpu13rFr34k,s battery he uses in the Black Perfection 2.1 for elelinux 1.9 theme
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thomasssss:
Ohh man!!! Thx so much for this ROM! Works like a charm and I simply could connect to my Ad-hoc wifi network which was my plan for one week!!! Thx again!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patko226:

circle battery indicator should be great ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added a little framework fix and a delete script for the latest launcherpro :),you can find them in the first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dexter84:
I've been using this rom for two days now and I must say this: ever since I've got hero I was using sense roms becouse they look nice. The rom gave me niceness of sense with iPhone like responsiveness. This never happened before and for that I'm gratefull.

I have just one question, how do I get smart keyboard for other languages than English. If I write in Polish even though keyboard is set to Polish I don't get any words suggested.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I agree, the responsiveness of this ROM is unreal compared to all other ROMs ive tried, and the battery life is also magnificent.

So thankyou Elelinux for your hard work in creating this, I beleive I will be sticking with this one for some time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan_2468:
Thanks!

What does the framework fix do, and is it needed?

Tris
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
See the first post, it changes the color of the optional 'quick-acces-slider' on your lockscreen. If you don't use this sliders, you don't need that fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Just a graphic fix for sms icon on the lockscreen,up to you if is needed or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sidon100uk:
So far this is the best rom i has used for my Hero. Thank you.

But i have two quick questions.

1, Does anyone else has angry birds play very flinchy.

2, how is it you use the delete launcher zip as i ran this but i still have launcher pro and i want to install a different launcher. please help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tfn:
Yeah angry birds is glithcy on mine as well, but heard rovio will be doing another version of angry birds for less powerful phones.. so fingers crossed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tfn:
Elelinux Thanks for your wondeful roms which I think are the best so far after using a load of roms.

was Just wondering whether you guys will may be just play around with 2.3 for our heroes may be in the near future :).. Just maybe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sidon100uk:
Cheers for the reply now i know it is not my phone :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sidon100uk:
Ok found out i downloaded the wrong zip but then had to reflash as phone only booted to a blank screen and as my phone wont be sync with windows since i put this ROM on i am lost as to how i would then install a new launcher please advise.

Kalagas theme

When I install 'Kalagas Mixed Theme for FROYO 2.2 Special Edition RC1' on this rom release my phone won´t boot. It hangs there in a boot cycle...ish.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
That theme does not, unfortunately work, wipe Dalvik cache and flash the rom again so should everything working again.You can find themes in my other thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:
Hello,

could someone explain me something :

I linked facebook with my phonebook. All seems OK : I have them pictures under "contacts".

When I browse "Contacts", "Favorites" or when I make a call, their icone picture from facebook appears. It's normal.

But when I use another programms, for example "people widget" or any programm that uses my contac list, It never shows the facebook pictures...

Counter to that, the pictures from google account are always shown, there is no problem...

Is it the same for you ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
pandas versus ninjas is almost the same game, a total knockoff, not QUITE as good but very close. it doesn't have NEARLY the slowdowns and framerate issues that angry birds has, although it's not too speedy still. it does have a big pause when loading levels or restarting levels which is a pain, but I personally play pandas now instead of birds due to the hero not really being birds compatible.

Now that Cyanogen has released version 6.1 final, when do you expect to have a new ROM based on it, elelinux?

I am waiting for it and expecting great things.

Thanks for all your hard work. This ROM is really awesome, better than the stock ROM on my Hero... Definitely!

installation problem

I have tried twice to flash this rom to my Sprint Hero and I can't get it to work. I download it, put it on the SD, rename it update.zip, WIPE first, then try to install it. When I do, I get the following message.

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "hero" || getprop(ro.buE:unknown command [ild.product")]

Any idea what's going on? Am I doing something wrong? I'm no expert at this, but it's the 3rd or 4th time I've flashed a rom so I'm not a total newbie. Help! I'd like to use this.

Just flashed the new ROM. Was running your special edition a few weeks and I was never happier with my Hero. So smooth and battery is good. Hope the update makes it even better. :)

Do I need to wipe my battery stats again if I did not do a full wipe (just dalvik)?

As the market is customized in this special edition will there be a problem installing the new market? Just tried to install the apk but it didn't work.

And another question: I installed the modded dialer and contacts but do not like it at all. how do i get back to the version that was also in RC1?

and it has launcher pro as default launcher, but you also have a remover adw link, does it have adw in it that would need to be removed if we never use it?

And the theme, well the only reason i stuck to froydvillain was for the theme's but this one is awesome :P

Great job really and thanks for the rom.

So far everything just works, will post if i find something, wich i prob wont :P

One thing I didn't expect though was the swearing you get when the phone is running out of battery. Not nice at all.

Like the theme, will stick with it for a little while.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
It's depend how you define "fast", linkpack score? Scrolling speed?

I prefer "smooth" more than "fast".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that swearing when battery is low thing is part of a feature (read: hack) that has been around for a very long time. Don't blame elelinux for it.

I've seen it many times in other froyos on the hero. it's either a cm thing or maybe part of the droid essentials app, I forget which.

If you don't like the swearing - don't run underground ****ing roms.

:-)

just kidding about the line above :-)
