You.... my friend... are a saving grace... maybe stock andrizzle won't be so bad after all ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chalmizzle:
Same problem... in recovery it just says not signed and then nothing! how to sign a zip i believe is the cure! :) google is your friend!

Ciao xxx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EnsconcE:
Correct me if i'm wrong, but they are already included in the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
@igor: I am glad it is working so well for you, but unfortunately sometimes these electronic devices are not identical. The cpu itself handles 710 quite well in my case, but at 748 it freezes instantly. I guess the wifi chip just can't do more than 576 in my phone. And my bet is that it is the same with others around here.

Fortunately, this rom is blindingly fast even at stock. Happy me:-)

this was the same with FroydVillain 1.5. It should be a generic CM issue as well as I believe the contacts app is the culprit here. Need some confirming though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
solution: no contact picture in sms history (thread)

confirming the solution on froyo with cyagen :=)

The phone settings in CM6 now have a preference under

Call settings (german: Anrufeinstellungen")

->Additional settings("erweiterte einstellungen" letzter Eintrag, last entry)

->my phone number

that will let you set the phone number permanently.

and the own photo will show up in sms history :=)))

thankS! -> thats the reason why you should always take the time and go through all setting options :=))

found this in an nexus one forums here @ xda... but thought of posting it here, if someone searches it within the hero forums :=)

hope it's okay :=) best regards,

ok, so...

I replaced LauncherPro with LauncherPro Plus (installed adw - set as default, removed LauncherPro, instaled Plus version - set as default, uninstalled ADW)

My question is: Is there a way to move LauncherPro Plus to system? Beacuse, when I open Titanium BackUp, LPP is marked white (ofcourse I wan't it red)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Why go trough all the trouble if just entering your plus unlockcode would be enough, or didn't you buy the plus version?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
one more question:

on my hero Dialer One is really laggy, so i searched the market and found StarContact, the dial - dialog is something u have to get used (little bit smaller, and not like the one Dialer One uses) but it works much more responsive.

So the problem:

if i use the hardware dial button, at first click i've been asked which application i want to launch: i selected "StarContact",

but the froyo software dial button (left one) doesn't ask, so it opens DialerOne selected before...

Any one can help here..? Clear cache sounds like plan, but the cache of what? :=)

thanks guys!

don't ==> clear the cache of launcher pro :=// i just got loose of my 7 homescreens :=))) took me quite some time to reconfigure them :)))

is the connection between dialerOne and launcherPro static? ... greets && thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
Well... the discussion a few replies up about the wifi not working anymore for some of us... just took a turn for the worse for me. I was not overclocking and my wifi stopped connecting.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Also, it seems to me that I cannot use the interactive governor because my phone freezes up when I listen to music on BT and also browse the net and talk on GTalk. On On demand it seems to work OK.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
Hey man, thanks alot for your post, i wanted to post something similar right after the weekend and applied your settings right now, 2 hours ago or so, hope they work!

My Problem: with normal phone usage my battery life reduced to a duration of avoid 8-12 hours max!

I ain't got any ideas (also used a screen.of profile and even in screen on only with onDemand activated).

Battery statistics always says screen consumes most of the battery (40-60%) but this can't be right, because also with display off, out for a walk, came back, ay least 10-15% less :(

I also tried your screen of settings, but as u mentioned I do have one of these phones which isn't able to wake up with such settings. possible minimum/ max. 354 at conservative, so that device wakes up in every case.

Are u using any custom kernel, or is this just a fortune/ bad luck situation...?

Thanks a lot, best regards,

Mike

Ps.: anyone else some power saving suggestions or how long do your devices last?

Awsome ROM

it's Working like a charme and it's fast.

I have tested MobileTv with this ROM and work's a lot better then:

HTC 1.6 Official ROM , HTC 2.1 Official ROM and Old Villian 1.5.0.

Keep up the good Work.

Note: Camera is working fine finnaly!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Happy to report a decent battery life... got 1day 7 hours off my last charge :D with what i consider to be medium useage i.e check email frequently, playing games, calls, a lot of texts, streamed a few youtube videos, browsing the net. All of these were done by turning on data when i needed it though :)

But im more than happy with that! :cool:

You'll need to wipe before installing

missing letters

Long time lurker here. So I flashed this rom and generally like it for its speed and smoothness. But there is a problem with my language letters, like č, ņ, ļ, ķ. In place of these I see hollow boxes everywhere (be it a webpage text in browser or name in contacts). Is there a way to fix this charset problem?

--OK scratch that. Kalagas mixed theme apparently doesn't have all the needed fonts. Pity.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Hi guys , I have a question.

I love this ROM but there is a lot of apps that I am not using.I have never used any of this apps.So is it safe to remove this apps?thanks

List of apps:

car home google

car home launcher

twitter

cpu speed

dsp manager

development.apk

voice search

voice dialer

talk.apk

live wallpaper picker

magic smoke wall

dialer one

google voice

setup wizard

spare parts
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Watch out for:

talk.apk (will break market and push things, so don't remove it)

cpu speed (I'd suggest installing an equivalent if you don't like it for some reason)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Thank you very much for reply, its not that I dont like cpu speed, I just like the stock flykernel on 576 mhz. I dont need to overclock it any more so I wanted to know can I remove it. thanks again

EDIT:I have removed apps that was "safe to remove" and now my buttons CALL and HOME are not working :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
FroydVillain 1.7.0 is now available at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864755 and should not require a wipe (unless you have issues).

I would recommend this update to all users, as it is fairly incremental from FroydVillain 1.6.0 as released in this thread.

Enjoy :)

@Dark Emotion, that's strange. You able to do a logcat?

Thanks for a great ROM yet again! Downloading now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sibbor:
I can validate this. The game performance is much better now, when playing games that uses touchscreen controls extensively. For example, I've been playing emulated games with SNESoid, and when holding down a onscreen button the whole game slows down and the sound starts to stutter... which makes it total unplayable. With this ROM, wow... smooth as butter.

Much love! By the way, any plans on creating a dark theme? I think the light theme looks so... Windows 98 :-P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fksuperstar:
ya i DE find it ... TQ but the touch screen same are included also right

...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I'm a little confused. Does the kernel automatically get flashed with the ROM? I didn't see a separate download link for it.

Also, I agree that a dark theme would be much nicer. Even just using the one from 1.5 would fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Has anyone jumped ship from Floyo? If so, how does speed and battery life compare?

I'm running floyo now and love it! Previous to that i was using FV1.5, another awesome ROM but too power hungry for my liking.

Also in FV1.5, my trackball always used to start flashing randomly... any1 still having this issue in FV1.6?

Many Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I have switched from Floyo 1.1.9 which imo was the best ROM i've had on my hero. I actually couldnt fault it at all.

I switched to this just cos I like flashing new ROM's and setting up and installing everything from scratch sometimes. I haven't noticed much of a difference yet other than I get slightly better Linpack scores on FV1.6 than Floyo.

Notifications seem to be okay and no random trackball lighting. Can't comment on battery until Ive used it a couple of days. Love the new bootscreen and wallpaper. I used to get keyboard lag on Floyo occasionally but that's not been a issue with FV (so far!)

Ok, I need help...

I'm trying to install a different version of LauncherPro (yes, I know it has the updated version pre-installed)

First up, I knew it wouldn't work but I tried installing the .apk... no joy.

Secondly, I installed ADW.Launcher to then delete LauncherPro, but its a system file. No joy.

Then I installed Root Access 2 and tried replacing the LauncherPro.apk in /system/app/ with my LauncherPro version... no joy.

My head isn't working too good today and I'm not the most knowledgable person in all this...

Please help!

Yeah xxx

You are correct. It's for GPL stuff...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
We tend not to make themes ourselves for ROMs, as the community usually produces its own themes.

Either way, I'm sure you could ask Alex, as his themes for FV1.5 could be ported by editing the APKs to add the images.

It's not something I tend to do, but get in touch if you need help, or if you need the keys used to sign the ROM for re-signing APKs (it's just standard platform keys, but I have them if needed)

okay ive gone into it and set installation location to external rather than auto.... and checked allow moving.... and rebooted.

according to titanium backup there is 0B in a2sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Havent tested it on this rom, but worked on a diff rom i was using.

- Get the “Titanium Backup” app from the market

- Get a copy of ADW Launcher

- Have the apk for Launcher pro plus on your SD Card ready

- Install ADW Launcher via ASTRO file manager (or equivalent) and make it default home

- Open Titanitum back up, scroll down to Launcher Pro (it should be coloured red). Tap it once, and you’ll have the option to uninstall.

- Install Launcher Pro Plus apk via ASTRO file manager (or equivalent)

- Uninstall ADW Launcher.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chalmizzle:
If you go to settings/applications/manage apps... in the right hand tab (SD ext) do you see installed apps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
only angry birds but none of my other apps?

I dunno much about this but when I was using Floyo the main screen on titanium backup told me how much of the ext partition was being used and now with FV its is zero!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chalmizzle:
Will test soon... just need to wipe and flash again... my home appears to be no longer... stuck on either the dialer or linda file manager... cant even get to settings :( uh oh...

hi, thanks fpr your rom!!

i have a problem with the usb connection, when i plug in the usb cable normally there is a popup to configure the connection.. but with this rom nothing happens, its just loading the battery. how can i make it so its a ubs drive and copy files over to the phone again? Oo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
have you come over from a sense rom...

took at the notification bar, pull it down and press the USB symbol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
fyi, that is the froyo apps2sd, not the old-school apps2sd (i.e. via ext partition on sdcard)

that is for sense. to use as usb drive, you got to mount the sdcard first. see the second screenshot in the first post for hint of where it is.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirilliz:
i know about that but therre is no option to mount in the notification screen either Oo .. its only loading the battery, i cant do anything else when conntected via usb.. weird..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chalmizzle:
Arrrggghhh! I wanted this to work badly! "Application not installed!" :(

What I notice though, even though I've uninstalled the original through Titanium, when I go to install the apk it comes up with;

"This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?"

...so obviously Titanium doesn't get rid of the whole thing...

oh well, thanks for trying anyways mate. x
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
did you press that "USD connected, Select to copy files to/from your computer" button? you will see this after pressing that:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
i always had the same problem with cyanogen rom. Not a long time ago i have installed the 6.1 and went back to froydvillain 1.5 cause of this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
well,

out of the box CM 6.1 doesn't support a2sd-ext method but if it worked on froyd 1.5 i suppose it should work on 1.6

did you wipe ext before flashing the rom?

*downloading / installing froyd 1.6 now to see how it goes :)

**thumbs up to Villain for not theming the rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Yes, on 1.5 it was working well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
guys, don't panic about apps2sd... Posting info in here just now

Ok. Apps 2 sd is working fine here on ext :). I am aware that if you don't wipe fully, it may not work.

To check, open adb shell or the terminal emulator app.

Run the command

"ls -l /data/", without the quotes.

That is, the lowercase of "LS -L", just so we are clear.

You will see a list of folders. Look at app and app-private. Are they saying something like

app -> /system/sd/app

?

If so, apps2sd is working fine :)

For what it's worth, I am told I have 0b of space used and available on my apps2sd, but it's working fine.

Verify it's working by removing the sd and rebooting. Apps should disappear until you put sd in again and reboot.

I don't know why titanium is seeing this, but I have a suspicion, which I will test out just now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange. I can't reproduce this. Someone had the issue on the VR site, but he said it just started working.

If you wiped everything, there could be a google server issue, though I doubt it to be honest...

Any chance of a logcat? If you do one, best pm it, as it will have email addresses in it (hopefully) for the sync attempts...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
I just test pulser, and i got ls: can't open '/data/': permission denied.
