Hi nice work I'm on 1.5.0 now and wanna update... but got 1 question should i wait or not? is there still the problem with battery life ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hannott:
Ah, nice. Didn't see it at first. Worked perfectly. Thx a lot for the rom and everything. Donations for you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dimmanramone:
I have the same problem and I think also that is HTC IME keyboard, I flashed an older version and I still have the same problem, but is not happening so often like before. I tried killing the HTC IME keyboard but no luck, everytime that I'm using it the touchscreen goes crazy :S I will try removing it completely and see what happens.

It seems that is HTC IME related problem and CM6 RC1. I tried Floyd 1.6, Floyo and Elelinux all of then based in CM6 RC1 and I had the problem in all of them.

I didn't had the problem with the releases that they didn't use CM6 RC1.

Anyone else that has the same problem? That probably came up with a fix?

If you did not have a problem with battery life on 1.5, then you shouldn't have a problem with 1.6.

If you nandroid you can always restore if it all goes south.

Wow, pulser, great rom and thanks alot.

I have a question, at the moment I have the 63.18.55.06SH_6.35.17.03 radio, I live in the Netherlands and have the simlock free htc hero.

I'm not really happy with my radio version, could someone please explain something about what is important if you flash a new radio or maybe recommend a radio? Thx alot, Rens
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
Hoi Rens,

Why are you not happy with your radio? What is the prob? You can try the latest Telus Radio..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pwningteddybear:
Ow yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention why i don't like my current radio version:p.

It looks like since I flashed the radio my batterylife is ****.

I am a moderate to heavy user and I use powerjuice, however my phone has to be charged after 13 hours, which in my opinion is real quick. Or does everybody's phone has to be charged every day?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SteelBreaker:
help!!!! this keyboard angers me....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You may need to install a keyboard with russian support.

I don't use the stock one tbh
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Hey Pulser,

As i mention to erasmux, the floyo and FV1.6 roms battery icon is too small (hieght) to use the "display battery percentage in battery icon" option. The numbers dont quite fit in the space...

So i was wondering if you could implement this batter icon from FV.1.5 in the next release :D

Its the perfect size to dispay the battery percentage number, and the square edges look WAY better than the rounded edges that floyo and FV1.6 have...

Regards

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonstar:
Anyone have this issue?

GMaps won't update your location (sans GPS - just using cell towers). The only way I can get it to update my location is to go into the weather/news app and then manually update which then fetches my location. Then GMaps gives me my approx location. Problem is when the phone locks and then I unlock it shortly after, GMaps won't lock onto any location and says it's temporarily unavailable.

I love FV1.6 but this is a feature that's used quite a bit (widgets along with GMaps are affected).

I went into my phone settings (#*#*4636*#*#) and set it to GSM only (it was on CDMA - Telus HTC hero that I put on Rogers). This fixed the problem for that "session" but when I unlocked it again it was the same thing (and GSM was still selected).

I'm baffled. Any idea what's happening? Anyone else on Rogers having issues with this??

I've done 2 factory resets...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Same for me. After about a week of use now, I have noticed that this rom eats the battery when I have wifi and sync on.

With this all off, the battery lasts far longer but then what is the point of having a smart 'phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Strange, for me it's the opposite. I still have about 31% after using it for 14 hours having wifi on all the time, syncing, calls, massive texting, browsing the news, and playing Wordfeud. I'm using FV 1.6.1 with the HTC Sense theme, using Minfreemanager:

Foreground App (mb): 6

Visible App (mb): 12

Secondary Server (mb): 16

Hidden App (mb): 82

Content Provider (mb): 90

Empty App (mb): 98,

overclocked Ondemand for both screen on/off min 352/691mhz. Cyanogenmod performance settings at "use JIT"- checked, enable surface -unchecked, lock home -checked, lock messages -checked, VM heap at 16m. My baseband radio is 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03. I'm always connected to the internet and everything is constantly being synced.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] igor.tonky:
just wanted to chime in with the defence of battery life. it's great for me! :) in fact it's better than on CM nightlies with flykernel 11c. i have no idea why, still checking. the only explanation i have so far is due to added 19Mhz.

current battery stats:

2d 17h since unplugged

battery level 43%

32% cell standby

29% phone idle

26% wifi 1d 17h (was mostly at home last three days)

14% display 42min

2% calls 1m 37s

as you can see my usage was pretty light for the last three days, but i still have 43% of my battery left. basically my phone just idles with wifi and sync on(i turn off wifi only for the night). i was on 2g most of the time.

my setup, maybe this will help you guys save some battery:

two points - lower automatic brightness and use a sleep profile. those are things that eat your battery the most. not sync(usually). not wifi. not processor. seriously, that's it :)

1) Lower brightness levels:

Go to settings - villain settings - user interface - automatic backlight.

Scroll down to ight levels:

- check "use custom"

- select "5" in "screen dim level"

- check "allow light decrease"

now go into "edit other levels", here are the brightness at different light sensor levels. you can be fancy, i just use four, seem to work fine. tune to you regular lighting conditions:

"set number of levels" - 4

now "lower", "upper" and "screen" are set like this for me:

0 - 99 - 15

100 - 299 - 30

300 - 899 - 60

900 - infinity - 250

"save and apply" and enjoy your lowered brightness. enable "automatic brightness" in "settings" - "display" of course :)

2) Use sleep profile. I use SetCPU, you can easily find it on the xda forum with search.

Go to "profiles" - tick "enable", then add profile:

"condition" - "screen off"

"min frequency" - "19 MHz"

"max frequency" - "352 MHz"

"governor" - "conservative"

leave "priority" and "save"

warning: i've read that there are phones that have problems waking up at lower frequencies. not my case, but just make sure you find the lowest one, working for you. don't tick "set on boot" untill then.

That's it! this is what i always do first when i flash a rom with a wipe, never had problems with battery life since :)

for the record - i run 748MHz "performance" when the screen is on.

p.s. thanks pulser for a great rom!

And also take a look at this how to calibrate your battery:

Do not expect miracles to happen with your Hero's battery life, I charge mine every night running Froydvillain 1.6.1 and just make it one day on a charge.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dikabuzz9447:
thanx for the tip, will try immediately..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
+1 thanks...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That battery icon is from the galaxy s theme. You could apply that theme if you wanted.

but I am sure if I made it default, people would whine about there being a theme included...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] igor.tonky:
yeah, please leave it vanilla as it is, i love it.

2 Calico5: you can easily create a theme/battery flashable zip for your likings in UOT Kitchen at http://circle.glx.nl/ .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Fair enough :) I'll try and apply my own theme, Thanks

Thanks for the link! :D

I'm getting the occasional reboot while using this... but it's been great so far. I'm flashing the generic flykernel 11c 528 though... I really hate random reboots.

Oh yea, I also noticed that I can't permanently disable the notification power widgets... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
Notifications

I'm using handcent and tweetdeck....

i'm not getting any notification lights even though they are set to on within the apps.

Ive also set the trackball indicator in handcent and thats not flashing either!?

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] platt:
This rom is amazing!!! really breathes new life into the phone. And I can confirm that the 1.6.2 beta patch does fix the youtube app issues when in HD. So really the one complain that I had is now fixed so thanks for this amazing rom :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Well ive read through the majority of the thread... gonna give FV1.6 a spin :D See how it compares to Floyo (another great ROM).

Just waiting for my battery to charge fully so i can calibrate it :) Will report back in a couple of days :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
The trackball won't flash for notifications.

The LED is the one that's supposed to flash. Not sure why they aren't flashing for you though...

more than 3 homescreens?

hey guys,

two questions :=) i really love the sense UI, but 2.2 just seems **** great and fast ... :=)

-> is it possible to get more than 3 homescreens (sry, not yet checked all settings)

-> and... what are common tools to show pictures..

i always used the sense 'fotos' or 'gallery' app, which i really loved.. but now there isn't anything similar (i dont like gallery 3d) to me, in my opinion it's too slow for the hero :=)

best regards && thanks,

:=)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elveezz:
Twitter

Firstly I have to say this is the best Rom I have used and I have tried most si I started with macado . The only problem is I can't sign into Twitter I tried to install Twitter but it won't let me, any advice?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
crazyVII

Not sure about FV... but it works in Floyo, another CM based ROM.

Press "menu" at main screen

Preferences-> homescreen settings-> Number of screens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
thanks a lot .. by the way sorry for asking, wan't used to the launcher pro settings .. (second settings menu) and found the solution right after posting (wanted to tell ya right now) ! nevertheless, thanks! once again :=)

one more question occured...

can it somehow be accomplished to take a foto via the trackball button?

this is just the best feature of the hero :=) it has! a button :=))))

one more 2 :=) and why has the background / surrounding while taking a foto looks like it does?

the grey, like an old dos or win 3.11 graphics.. :=P 256 colors :=P ;=) :D

thx & best regards :=)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
^^ No problem.

Got a problem of my own now :o Just did a clean install... wiped everything.

When i try to install Astro File manager from the market... it downloads, starts to install. But then the phone freezes and reboots! :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend deleting CPUSpeed and replacing it with SetCPU. Doing this solved my problem with random reboots on FV1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
I've done that... but I still get the very occasional random reboot on 1.6.1. But I agree... it solved my problem when I was on 1.5 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Yea I agree. I miss clicking the trackball to take a picture:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dikabuzz9447:
:pi just noticed when u said so, the trackball cannot be use as camera button in FV1.6, previous ROM i can do that. same with u i hope Villain Team will add this additional feature, it really usefull.:D

thanx

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
I want to overclock this ROM to 614Mhz, can i just do this via setCPU? or do i need to download one of erasmux's additional kernels? :o

Also, is anyone having wakeup issues what setting the sleep speed to 19Mhz? Which type of governer is best? on demand? interactive? smartass?

Your help is appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
I can confirm you can safely go up to 710MHz. I went to the max that CPUSpeed allows but the phone froze. However I could not see any increase in performance at anything faster than 650MHz.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
If no Apps work, maybe try clean market cache *thumbsUp* hope it works,

Or like the others said, try use setCPU instead of CPUSpeed.. for sure try use some safe settings :)

[error?] birthdays appear in contacts.. but can't be changed?

hey guys,

something really strange happened to me...

it may sound stupid, but i think i've doublechecked everything.. check this:

if you have contacts with birthdays, everything will be shown... (but can't be changed)

but the problem occured right now. i have a contact where i want to add a birthday date (tomorrow, by the way) and it's not possible to do so in the contact - edit menu.

also for the first case, if there is a date included in the contact already, the date appears in the contact overview, but NOW if u press edit.

thanks once again for this room :=) it really makes the hero fast then ever :=) ... but this 'feature' seems really strange?

can someone explain? hope it doesn't just happen to me :=// :eek:

;D

Got this ROM, have been playing around with it for quite a bit and i really appreciate hard work these guys put into this. I am sorry I am new and I am still getting used to names.

All features which i used on Android 2.1 on my htc hero telus, ARE working so thumbs up again.

I dont know if this is a problem or just a setting issue, I set up my Yahoo mail, and on stock ROM, i would get notification for emails, but in custom rom (froydvillain 1.6.0+updates) i have to actually hit refresh to receive an email. Other than that everything is smooth, ohh and Live wallpapers, well i used google maps one, it works but not the ones i downloaded from droid market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
This also happened to me, but I think I know why. After a day of using the phone as was default at install, I got greedy and overclocked to 653. After that, in like 4 hours, the wifi would not connect anymore. I went down to 576 and now everything is good again. I bet you uped the OC as well, right?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Was getting lower scores in linpack on fly if I held my finger down on the screen. (which was an issue due to vanilla kernel missing out the htc filtering code)

I think this stops the event filter getting spammed with loads of junk, thus slowing it down. It's not my fix obviously, rather a ninpo/netarchy one, but it appeared to do the trick.

Certainly, this patch doesn't make it perfect, as the driver needs to use done cpu, but when testing against stock fly, it seemed (in these albeit limited tests) to help a little. They were synthetic benchmarks though, so it could have been the direction of the wind or something... :D

I wish I kept the scrap of paper from when I tested it, as I had produced a little table of speeds on each kernel...

It's based on fly 11c, and I can fetch the pull date if it's been updated since then. I remember comparing the drivers back when I did the change, and didn't see this patch on it , so thought I'd add it.

Should make games a little better too if they use a lot of touch screen...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Np. I'll give it some testing of my own, and if its better, will use it for the flykernel 12 final :)

Thanks for the heads up!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No worries. It's a nice fix, and it's been sat on git for ages, but I just presumed it had been accepted by cyanogenmod like the other changes... Guess I need to check now :)

But yeah, that fixed game performance in froyd, but I don't know how many kernels use it.

Thanx, I love all the Hero-developers! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chalmizzle:
I completly agree with you, the dialer and most of the stock android UI hasn't been appealing after using HTC Sense...

With LauncherPro Plus you can kind of recreate the sense feel with widgets etc...

Is there any nice contacts/dialer package up to standards with HTC Dialer?

Also, being a fan of Sense and all I wasn't at all bothered when it said FroydVillian in the title... but I'm a geek and love to flash my phone :) so I'm gonna take it for a spin until VillianRom 13 arrives!

Just one more thing guys...

Can anyone suggest a good way of getting Facebook display pics as caller I.D's without Sense?

Hi

I've just updated from Froyd 1.5 do 1.6 and everything seems to be working fine except gmail and google contacts (I have fc sync and twitter but, google sync is missing) Do I have to install google stuff separately or something is massed up on my phone and I have to wile all and reinstall?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SKRPhoenix:
SyncMyPix will do it. It's not a very pretty solution though, which is why I prefer Sense roms to be honest. There's too much that Sense does well to dtch it in my eyes. Even if I don't use the launcher. ;)

@chalmizzle

Trying using SyncMyPix ( free on market ) or you could use the one I attached.

Personally, I prefer Facebook Sync more, it shows you your phone contacts first then manually link them to facebook.

Rather than the other way around on SyncMyPix. Scrolling through 500+ friends without being able to scroll alphabetically is tooo troublesome! Plus you cant really check which contact that have not been linked yet.

Note : This was what used to be Facebook Sync's dev website http://fbsync.plan99.net/
