What do you mean "how you told us"? You only need to flash the ROM itself. You can not change the kernel, otherwise the wifi will not work. I meant the kernel, in terms of features, is like the 12pre1 with .32 camera backport. If you actually flashed my 12pre1-cam32 version, obviously wifi will break....

Thanks, good to hear that :)

You need support for this in the kernel. Currently I don't support it but I will see if I can for the flykernel-12 final.

On 2.1 you can load the Sense with JIT (it will be between highly unstable to almost stable depending on the ROM and how you use it but there is no 100% stable sense w/ JIT combination). On 2.2 the sense requires proprietary changes to the dalvik so there is no way to use a dalvik machine w/ JIT (like we did on 2.1).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
So this is possible, isn't it? And how far are we to get this? Is it just jump over the river or a log travel across the ocean?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samm000:
cannot play mp4

i have the same problem here.

I wait for a solution too.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
:-) This is why I respect your decisions Erasmux. You stand by what you believe and have a plan that you feel will give better results in the end.

Keep up the great work!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dennys84:
i begin to hate htc, it took so long to wait for 2.2 with f...in sense, and u tell us that its not compatible with jit!!, damn the villain and other roms are good and fast but there is no sense, no that nice dialer and alarm, and most of widgets...may be i should buy Desire and forget about friggin' jit at all, the 1Ghz snapdragon will meet all my needs, isnt it??? but thats not so simple...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jed2191:
How on earth is it "ridiculous"? Erasmux is putting loads of time and effort into the Hero at the moment. This ROM has been out for less than a week, give it time, quit complaining. Either fix it yourself, wait patiently for it to be fixed or buy one of the newer HTC's.

I hope the camera can be fixed soon. :)

Well I must modify my previous remark a little. I had two phone calls through the carkit. Stopped the car, switched everything off, returned to my car and tried to make another call. It started all fine, the radio got muted, etc. but I did not get any audio. So it kind of works, but not always.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
video works fine. mp4 isn't part of the original hero playback spec. if it works in some roms then that's cool, but it's an extra feature and not to be expected.

Also these guys aren't being paid to do this or to QA these roms, let alone even go onto this forum. so if the developer isn't aware of mp4 playback not working, or even that it matters, then it's nobody's problem but your own for wanting to do somethign that the rom wasn't ever designed to do in the first place.

mp4 is fine - but only a recently popular item in android. it was always 3gp video that the hero supported in the past.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Closing for a little clean-up. Seems someone hasn't followed rule 2...

Thread opened again guys. Dealt with. I deleted a fair few posts regarding the trolling, not because they broke rules, but rather so I could get rid of quotes of the troll quickly. Nothing relevant or important removed, just so you are aware.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cet90:
Hi, i wanna ask..if i wanna undo this settings. isit juz to delete the local.prop? thats all?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yep, those instructions create that file called local.prop, so you can delete it fine.

adb shell rm /data/local.prop

should do the trick

(this presumes nothing else uses the file, but that command you posted will overwrite the rest of the file anyway)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
thanks dude, well handled. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robtue:
I am really enjoying Sengle, great job! but I am having a strange problem. On both iGo and copilot I cannot get voice guidance to work. They give alarms and alerts but no voice. I have rewiped, reflashed, rebooted but nothing. Anybody else found this? I've never had a problem any Rom, and I think I've flashed them all. Assistance would be greatly appreciated as I rely on GPS daily.

Thanks for the tip, I actually didn't think the HTCCamera.apk would need changing - I wonder if a HTCCamera.apk from 2.1 would work....

In any case, I don't think this is the problem here - at least not the main problem. The camera has a proprietary lib which encodes its logic, and I can't get a this lib from our 2.1 Sense ROMs to load. After enough efforts I can get the ROM to boot with it but then activating the camera will cause a seg fault :(.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
Another, but very small issue. Green LED flasher only a few mins after message comes. Even if you don's read it, it stops flashing after a while.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nickyschelfaut:
isn't there a possibility to get the camera working if you ask elelinux or some other guys who got it working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
I think Erasmux is the best at this. Don't think any other Hero dev is very good at this. Could be wrong though :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I don't recall elelinux getting camera working on a 2.2 sense rom on the gsm hero.

no offence intended to elelinux of course. but I think this problem is a nut that has yet to be cracked.

and erasmux is one heck of a real developer... elelinux knows hero roms and their files really well too, but if you want someone who's a true developer you need look no further than erasmux in this very thread.

the issue, as he's noted, is that it's a bit of a guessing game with htc sense roms. try this library from this rom and see what happens, using as much common sense as possible while not being given any real documentation about the code and it's interfaces.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Not sure if you've heard (or if this even helps anyone/anything), but HTC has released HTC Legend - Froyo MR - 2.6.32 kernel source code (http://developer.htc.com/)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samm000:
Thanks for your explanation, but I think the dev would like to know how a person thinks about his ROM

I also possess the advanced that I have difficulties with all videos including 3gp, and I have the problem that I have no sound during navigation (I use mobile maps sygic 10).

Greetings,

Got a minor issue i would like to ask help with,

I get a pdf sent via email but as there is a password on the attachment adobe reader will not open it,

Is there any thing can be done about this ?

Any one know of a free pdf reader that works ok with passwords ?

Also any one got a 3d gallery and would it work on this rom ?

Regards

Steven
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nickyschelfaut:
well the only reason i suggested this is becaus i thougt, maybe it's just ripping som code from the elelinux rom. (like installing a windows driver you know) but as far as I understand you it isn't just copying from a rom with working camera.

but i need to give my respect to this wonderfull rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prommindh:
Great ROM, found some minor prob but mostly from specific app like poweramp (didn't play music properly & FC), apps2sd may not work properly in my case bcoz the space keep dropping or it is the SENSE itself? if not must be my bad, way too slow linpack show only 1.6 (4.6 from previous CMD base rom), keep up the good work mate :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool - I was directing my comment at another (possibly former) member of xda ;-). I agree - I'm certain he appreciates feedback. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] seshmaru:
Just so you know, MP4 playback WAS included in the original hero specs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] newdecember:
yeah the mp4 format works on VR12. try downloading a different player as a workaround until the devs can get around to it. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Really? I don't have my original book any more, sorry if I was wrong. Maybe I should have said that mp4 decoding hasn't ever seemed to be part of the aosp project. Maybe sense roms are supposed to decode mp4 by default though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
it's on Hero's specification website of HTC...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wolfensteijn:
3GP is a media container, which can contain MPEG-4 video files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
as you know though, what that's really a spec of is the htc sense rom combined with the hero. We're not in senseland anymore Toto... :-)

So I think items like what codecs are included, which is of course operating-system dependent, can safely be ignored since you'll be hard pressed to find an aosp rom that decodes mp4. Maybe they exist, but I don't recall any doing so recently.

my point is that this isn't a unique thing or a new thing (the missing mp4 decoding I mean). it's been like this for a looooooooooong time with vanilla roms on the hero.

BUT... I totally agree that I really want mp4 decoding included since it would solve some major youtube and default video recording issues for most users.

soooo anyway.... :-) .... I'll stop playing the devil's advocate because I was just making a small point way back... long since corrected and now it's way out of context :-)

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok.... like I said originally, I may have had the feature named wrong. I was running off of distant memory.

it's not 3gp I meant this whole time, it's h264 I meant. in all my previous posts over the past couple of days, replace 3gp with h264 please :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steelodude:
erasmux, is there an update comming soon?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am considering enabling compcache for the next version. I have added an optional update on the first page:

Does this improve the situation with the HTC sense reloading at times? Does this cause any extreme lags or other new problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B-bal:
Yess the compache enbaler is working very well for me, after flashing it my rom seems to be faster and I don't have the issue of reloading the HTC sense every time!

Great rom thankyou!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adicken:
Any news on a camera fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
i suppose it's a random issue, but my Hero hang a few times when i remove the USB cable from the computer...

that's before i apply the compache patch...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I don't think any of the major problems with ROM can be fixed :(. I have been playing around with it in the last couple of days, and there is not much to do. It's actually quite amazing that anything works, as most of the low level libs are from the legend which is a different processor and hardware.

I am quite close to giving up on this ROM. I will release 0.8, when I do, with any little progress I have done.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steelodude:
Never give up. There is alway a way, you know that. ;)

It only takes time, in this case a lot of time accutualy :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Centrino77:
Hello,

Thanks for your ROM,

The Comcache patch seems to quit/stop some games ... => back to home.

Do you have a patch to remove it ? so I can confirm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Currently I didn't prepare a patch to clean it.

If you can create a file: /data/.nocompcache

it will disabled it (contents does not matter).

For example with adb:

adb shell touch /data/.nocompcache

Or create the file on the SD card and transfer it to /data with a file manager.

You can check with "adb shell free":

# free
free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 195912 7752 188160 0 656
Swap: 0 0 0
Total: 195912 7752 188160

If the "swap" line has non-zero numbers, then the compcache is on, if it is all zeros like above, it is off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
so, back to Sense 2.1 or vanilla 2.2 in the long run?

darn, i really love this phone, and Sense has been great in some aspects compared to vanilla... thx for the good work though erasmux... really appreciate it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maxorq:
It seems that this ROM (or my phone) have serious OpenGL issues.

I noticed it when trying to open Winds of Steel, and it only crashed without any message.

For the test I have downloaded some OpenGL tests, that crash too.

Maybe that's why Live Wallpapers don't work.

I know that it's possibly because that low level libraries, but if it's not only my phone, you should add that to non supported things.

Posted 0.7.2 - see first post.

This will be my final update for the near future, as I want to devote the little time I have for android development to other stuff (like flykernel and floyo).

Hopefully, I will have time to get back this at some point and try some more ideas I still have....

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maxorq:
Niiiiiice, but I see that JIT only help with Linpack score (now its around 5 MFLOPS WOW), but I don't see anything else, any improvements by this. And I don't understand why the camera don't just crash, but show some crap for about second.

I was thinking that Legend driver won't even work.

I understand that you didn't even touch camera drivers, right?

Weird.

This message have been sent from HTC Hero using Sengle 0.7.2 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
This is the way the camera has been from the beginning, I am also not sure why. Note, that the driver itself is in the kernel, so there is a proper driver for the camera. But still there are proprietary camera libs which also need to fit the device, and for now we have yet to find a way to get the libs released for the hero working on sense 2.2.

Regarding JIT, I also don't feel any earth shattering difference, with any ROM (2.1, CM6, and now sense 2.2). I have a feeling there is a delicate change for the better, but it could be just my imagination....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rionline:
And the camera problems is not related to opengl ones? I mean ....hmmm no thought is crap... anyway... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maxorq:
Wait, are those camera libraries related to HTC Sense? If not, why those from (let's say) Elelinux's Froyo won't work?

I know that you tried 2.1 libraries, and they don't work, and that we, dumb people that don't know anything about development, only b***h about bugs, and... ouch, I've lost thread. I think that its next time I try to post tired and only for +1 on post counter.

Only one question, are those libs related to Sense itself?

This message have been sent from HTC Hero using Sengle 0.7.2 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Those libs aren't related to sense. But like I said those libs are proprietary and we don't have the code from them. All proprietary libs in all ASOP/CM ROMs, all originate from some HTC release (which is sense).

I have tried all libs I could put my hands on from different hero sense/ASOP/CM roms as well as different ports and ROMs from similar devices (heroc, magic, etc).

I have given up on using the legend libs as the base. If and when I come back to this, I might try the gratia port as my base (which to the best of my understanding, uses the gratia framework with most libs from the wildfire)....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maxorq:
Yey, found issue. Sometimes when I take phone from pocket it stop connecting to Wi-Fi. When I look at Power Widget, indicator is dark green, and in Settings it say Error, and can't enable it, I must restart phone to get it back.

It happened to me before 0.7.2, and after it once, total of 3 times. Next time I will send you the log from aLogcat if that will happen again and if it can help you/us.

I remember using some Gratia Froyo Port before and I think camera wasn't working too.

First off, thank you very much for your excellent work :-D

A couple of things:

-weather app is buggy, at least for me, I have removed all the default locations and tried to add mine, then I got a FC always.

-Is it possible to apply the Cyanogen hack for showing the remaining battery percentage in the status bar icon?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
the same here, get crashes allmost every time i use wifi or bluetooth

the rom is fast but sometimes laggy, i get 300-400 points more in linpack with the same settings than in Froyo Sense +WIFI +GPS +App2sd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Is there any way for me to recreate the problem on my phone? I use wifi (bluetooth not that much, only for testing it on this ROM), and obviously my phone sleeps/awakes many times and have not found any problem with the wifi.

Did you check if it happens for you after a full wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
i do a full wipe every time, and i tried to reinstall the rom a few times, ill try another radio and report back

greetings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
well well well

installed the last radio and suddenly all my wifi and bluetooth issues are gone

the rom is working way smoother now and even got the linpack score up to 5mfps, before the radio update i had 4.3

niice

for all others having wifi issues i installed thisone

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mogon:
First of all, erasmux, many thanks for your tireless work on keeping these heroes running. I don't know how you do it or what it involves but the results are always brilliant.

I'm a bit late to the party but when it's stated on the first post to be patient at the first boot (for complete dalvik rebuild) does that patience have to extend to 3 hours? I've had 3 attempts at boot, all exceeding 3 hrs and ended up assuming things aren't going to plan and pulling the battery.

I've done a complete wipe of everything (factory reset, cache, dalvik) but still it continues. I'm coming over from bahariel's 'sence'. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be upsetting it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
First of all, full wipe is data, cache and ext partition. At least on RA recovery 1.7.0.1 the factory reset option (first one on the wipe menu) will wipe data and cache (the later also includes the dalvik). Then also wipe ext partition from wipe menu and thats it!

Secondly, "have patience" means it takes it about 10 mins to load, you can wait 15 mins, 20 mins if you really wanna over kill it.

Now regarding the actual problem, not much I can do about it without a logcat, If you can retry to flash it (if possible also wipe ext partition first), and use "adb logcat > logcat.txt" to capture the log, we might be able to see what the problem is. I suggest you start with "adb logcat" (without the file redirection) and see that adb does work for you in this scenario and if it does, then reboot once more and use "adb logcat > logcat.txt" to capture it to a file.
