One small thing I noticed today: the black colour behind the status icons in the status bar (wireless and phone signal + battery for example) is not the same as the black of the rest of the status bar. It is darker.

A small detail but that is worth changing if possible to "polish off" the fantastic look of this ROM..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoff_allix:
Two things - you can use HTC Sync with custom roms, but only Sense ones e.g. VillainRom 12 and the Market now has two tabs at the top when you view details of an app, one for About and one for Comments.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I use Tegro Slide port, and HTC Sync works, though don't like it, but it works.

APP2SD

installed rom manager, formatted SD to support app2sd and chose to install apps to sd.. ended up with a mess with widgets disappearing from widget list... problems loading... went mad and reformat ROM *AGAIN.. rrr..

in other words I tried the best I could using app2sd, but I went very bad.. what is so hard ? what's the best guide to make this work in a good way ? I'm very close to just throw the hero down the drain :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
I have a little problem with this ROM. How can I update Launcher Pro? Cause when I'm trying to do this via Market, file downloads and durind installation there's an error and LP can't be installed :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _Mazza_:
I don't post much, but had to log in to say this rom is awesome, super fast and looks fantastic. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ASSK:
Is this rom also getting a update like your other elelinux froyo Rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] el-grosso:

That's great news. Loving RC1. Blue Mix theme is current favorite.

Now is the rom updated please read changelog before installation. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
Trying to work out the difference between this and your other ROM that s I am currently running. What are the differences?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Actually no differences except that this is a custom rom no stock,there are those who want a complete custom rom from start. :)

Gorgeous Elelinux, I am flashing now, I love your special edition, Thank you!

If I may ask: can I flash the ubuntu font package with the spedial edition, will that work? I got used to it and like it a lot!

Thank you,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It's already in the rom just forgot to write it in the changelog :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] laurentbon:
Thank you, I realised after installing :-) Great Rom!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] laurentbon:
Actually, I am having quite a serious issue: I use Google to back up all my apps and since I flashed this version, when trying to perform an app update (such as the latest facebook), the update fails (Upade unsuccessful message) and the app is somehow locked. i can no longer uninstall it or of course update it.

Any idea for fixing this?

Cheers,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
When i come home today I will make a little script to remove the old facebook application and install the new facebook application.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] laurentbon:
Thank you Elelinux,

Indeed, it looks like I am enable to update only certain applications, perhaps the ones coming with the ROM (Facebook, twitter for example) whereas other apps I downloaded myself (Better Keyboard, TuneIn Radio) update ok.

Is that due to the way some apps are packaged with the ROM?

L
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Reason why it´s problem to update facebook and twitter is I modded these applications,but will upload fix for it today.

But probably not have time I modded them today, but it may be later
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
Sorry if already posted....

For now you can un-install Twitter and Facebook using Titanium Backup....

Restart your phone...and then you should be able to install both apps.

worked for me anyway.... worth doing I quite like the new updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] laurentbon:
yep - this worked a treat! Thanks for the tip :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:

Hmmm...never worked for me...will await the update.zip!

Thanks. Gr8 ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added a remove script on the first post under options to remove facebook and twitter,unfortunately I had no time to download the new versions, but you are free to install them from the market.

As soon as time permits, I will modify the new versions and upload them :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] giansange:
thanks elelinux, i will try this one tonight.. i ve been using your roms after trying every available rom for HTC hero. your rom lasted 17 hours with continuous Wifi use..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G8D:
Could you maybe make a 'Homeless' version?

As in one that doesn't install any home, or at least not Launcher Pro?

OR, alternatively provide a working Launcher remover .zip as I went ahead and installed this ROM and it's still giving me trouble.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sihing:
Hi.

Very good rom, but I use the old one, but I am very satisfied with it.

Odd issue.

Certain apps appear to be installed but do no load on boot (when they should) and certain widgets are installed but not available to use on the home screen. I can uninstall and reinstall them and the work, but yet again on boot they are not usable and the 'fail to load'.

Really liking the ROM otherwise, please help :P

Can I install this rom for my HTC Hero. Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
Ehm I got something really odd. after this install it won't let me boot the recovery mode.. did you made a secret hack to keep us on this amazing rom? :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm that's strange,if you do it manually ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
nope,

if I boot up with the home button pressed, it just hangs after a while..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm I've tried and there is no trouble with the rom, there must be something with your recovery.

What is your recovery, amon'ra or any other ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
My recovery... that's a good one. To be honest I've no idea.

For now it's not my biggest problem. When I got time I'll do the whole process again.

I never had this as well. I kinda installed every month a rom, without any problem.

Anyway thanks for trying to help, I was just curious if someone had something like this.

Cheers

I'm loving this rom but have a question that might seem silly.

My first Ever Rom..

rooted last week and got the memory leak issue with the official 2.1

just installed this and i love it..

thought vCard import was hanging, but seems to have worked fine as i type this post :D

why i waited so long to romup is beyond me.. finally the true power of my hero released.

now just gotta work out how to sort out app2sd :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] diecorroder:
Hi, everyone.

I got a silly question. I tried all the roms made by Elelinux, esspecially the Special ver.

It's really really fast, everything is perfect.

but only one thing that I can not get use to it.

It is the Dialer. I know that is not Elelinux's problem.

but is there any Dialer Pad or Dialer software that can use as simple and fast as HTC Smart Dial?

I've tried Dialer One, and many many other Dialers... no one is gool :(

Could someone give a hand please?

thanks for your reply, and sorry for my broken english.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] menco:

This is really the only 'popular' Hero Froyo ROM that looked completely acceptable right out of the box to me - LauncherPro is just awesome. Not to mention that it speeds up the phone considerably and I've had no problems thus far.

Thanks for the hard work, elelinux.

Multi-touch is working where it should be (the browser, gallery, etc) for me. Can you elaborate on your issue?

2.1 camera.apk

Hello guys!

For about 4 months I have used 2.1 Villain ROM. It was ok but I decided to upgrade to any 2.2 rom. At the beggining i pick FroydVillain but it was really unstable (I have used this about 3 hours and it stuck permamently about 5 times). Then I picked this rom, it is much better, i love everything except one thing - Camera app. It look really bad and change settings is uncomfortable everything is hidden under one button, when u click it a long list appear, in 2.1 everything have different tab. Is there any way to use camera app from android 2.1? In my opinion it was much better.

I wasn't sure if i have to make new thread for it or post here.

Big thanks for replies and sorry for bad English
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SypherNL:
Issue: Nor the trackbal nor the normal LED are working for me.

On VillainFroyd 1.5 it did work just fine with Handcent / K9-mail but now with Elelinux Special Edition it doesn't look like it is working anymore...

Are there more users with this issue?

Also:

Pressing the trackball in the camera app does NOT take a picture. You have to touch the shutter-button onscreen.

i'd like to remove the added facebook, so i can install the new updated version from the market.. how do i use the provided script :s
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ajb263:
I'm a noob but I think there is a link on the first page to delete facebook and twitter. I'm just about to do it now.

But I'd like to know how to delete other apps as well. For example I installed the google apps zip but now i cant delete some that I'd like to install via the market instead.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] el-grosso:
yeah theres a zip with a script provided.. but i don't know what to do with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spiff15:
I have the exact same issue, ota 2. 1 camera was excellent, rc1 not so much. any fixes in the works, or are we the only two to have this?

amazing Rom though, it's like a whole new phone!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nocturnx:
Install the Android SDK on your computer and use adb uninstall to do it. I had a problem where the Facebook app wouldn't update through the market and that's the only way I could remedy the issue. This is what I used:

adb remount
adb uninstall "com.facebook.katana"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] el-grosso:
i've got ADB all set up on my computer, can you explain the uninstall process though as i have only really used it for partiioning my SD card.. thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nocturnx:
See my edit. The forum wouldn't allow me to amend the post within 5 minutes of posting and I had to leave the computer, sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] el-grosso:
don't worry about it.. but i've ran into a problem. when the phone is on and i connect it to the computer, i can't get adb to connect. however, if i boot it into recovery, i can then access adb shell, but when i try to remount, it doesn't work. all other aspects of adb still work fine.. like adb shell reboot recovery would still restart the phone again to recovery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BrZ!:
Running it for almost a week now.

a few things..

when i reboot my phone everything that's on my sd off apps doesn't work anymore

can't take photo's with the trackball..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
Did found the problem... (may sound silly)

it was the ROM-manager... apparently after installing the clockwork recovery, it blocks the recovery mode (at least at my phone). After installing the RA a few times, it went back to work :)

Cheers

I flashed the 10a bfs kennel still no improvement. I can,t browse. Or listen to music
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
This rom has automatic apps2sd it means that if you have a extpartion etx2/ext3 on your sdcard then it works automatically.

But if you activate the cyanogenmod settings move applications, then there will be problems like you have.

Now I do not know how you have in your phone with extpartion etc.

Because you were probably using a Sense based rom on 1.5 that has flash lite, that is a HTC sense thing. There is no flash on this rom.

Help?

Hi!

I copy delete_LauncherPro-0.8.1.0_RC1.zip to the sd card and restart to recovery mode and Flash zip from sdcard and install that zip.

After restart the home sreen doesn't apear and I have to flast the ROM again.

How to install that zip, without adb cmd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
Anyone got any screens?

I know it was a surprise but I'm sure that's over for most people now!

Thanks ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G8D:
Just install another home before flashing (search market for 91 Panda for a free one). Your phone isn't loading a home because there is none!

It's just vanilla with a Sense status bar and some blue instead of orange.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
Cool, thanks. I'll add it to my "ROMs to try" list ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spiff15:
I did a full wipe when I flashed, and I usually keep all connectivity off unless I'm using it.... underclocked to min at screen off.... never movies, never games, only phone & browser... and still 24 hours on a good day.

elelinux, what are your settings, what am I doing wrong? awesome rom, keep up the amazing work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Some people get great battery life out of these roms others not so great, there's no definite answer as to why this is the case, but it could be a hardware/software interface bug. It's usually the screen which is reported as using ridiculous amount of battery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpq:
try juicedender : with this u can plan data and wifi usage as u want. That's to say when u don't need data ... it's off.

missing icons

im really loving this rom but have noticed a bit of a strange one...

when you click the launcher draw to view all apps installed ive noticed that some applications arent showing up. i have checked to make sure that the app is installed and can open the app using shortcuts and can open the apps from my downloads in the market.

things ive noticed are missing

angry birds

quickoffice

and just other various applications installed from the market

anyone else notice this before i wipe and reinstall.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
all I can imagine from experience is that you've installed an app that does that and don't remember doing so, or didn't realize that you did so. which is a suprisingly easy mistake to make. :-)

take a look through your apps... I don't think android has the capability built, in right ele?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I have never experienced anything like it, find it hard to believe that it would be in the system.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mez90:
hi thanks for your quick reply. i havent tried this yet but i will. one think i did notice today is one of my apps angry birds which i mentioned yesterday now shows up but something else is missing. the app hasnt changed but it seems after i restarted my phone and the apps back i did notice a couple of other missing ones but same thing. im going to wipe now and then maybe do a full wipe and reinstall one app at a time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Malismalis:
I dont know why but i cant turn off mobile network.

Living with this rom i understood that maybe i am too classy, but i went back to VR12, i rather prefer HTC Sence than some other homescreens ;)

And yes, it was faster than VR 12 :)

Hi, I'm having trouble trying to upgrade my SD card and advice on another forum has said I should not partition the new SD card as Froyo doesn't need an ext2 partition to use Apps2Sd. Can you confirm whether I should partition or not to get apps on my SD card with this ROM?

Thanks

P.S. loving the ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
Truth. After installation you have to go to Application management, select app and choose Move to sd. But not every app is compatible with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Guys

I need to start again with this ROM as my phone has become unresponsive.

One of the things I couldn't fully understand was, do I need to wipe my SD card clean. I.e remove the ext partition , or wipe it from the recovery mode?

Last time I wiped it clean ( formatted the card), followed the instructions and all my apps installed to the phone. I then used titanium backup to move them to the SD card. ( and then the phone slowed down )

Also I install using appbrain, does anyone know if that is the reason why everything installs to the phone?

your help really appreciated. The country has frozen over and and I am stuck at home all day :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Now is the rom updated :) please read changelog.
