GPS issues

I flashed 1.5 last night and tried using gps around town this morning. It would lock on location but would not track my travel. Anybody had any similar experience and possibly seen an improvement with 1.6? I probably need to flash to find out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etstanger:
That happened to me on 1.2 last night (hadn't flashed 1.5). It found where I was when I booted up, then my positioning didn't change at all. After a while though it caught on. I'm not sure what I did to fix it. I might have restarted or exited out of the program which refreshed the GPS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
I have tryed four times to download 1.6 . It keeps going back to processing download Paige.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Those of you having wifi problems, does using a static ip address help any?

Fancy Widget
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bombaatomica:
Music app

The new music app is terrible and the widgets don't work.

Wifi, which had been working ok in 0.1.2, is messed up.

When JIT is enabled, it makes my apps run out of memory (especially the launcher)

Now it has the stupid CM apps like File Manager, the crappy wallpapers, CM Stats, and ADW.

I can't wait until 2.3 on the hero advances enough to return to full AOSP instead of using CM stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dearmasfamily:
Ok nice build asop.

Those having performance issues I advise you to do the following.

Use clockwork and reformat the system partition. Wipe and reset.

Now edit your build.prop file.

Remove mdpi from your language choice and add en

And us for region

Delete debug.sf. hw=1

Resize heap to 24m

Once booted go into cynogenmod settings and remove the dither option under performance settings.

Wifi works great now and speed is enjoyable
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dburg84:
just did this...rebooted now. Thanks and will report!

EDIT: Well I'm not bootlooping and running fine still...what exactly are the language and region edits supposed to do?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Shut up.

:-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dearmasfamily:
Also after reviewing some logs jit is eating memory and consuming to much processing power. This build was design for a phone with 512mb ram. Hit is stacking to much.

Disable it in cynogenmod settings.

En

Us

Gives apps and android needed information in some cases.

Mdpi is not needed because we tell os and apps this information in our dpi 160 setting.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] shmeezledoo:
I'll try that when I get home and let you know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] szainmehdi:
Contrary to what many are saying, I am in love with the new music player. Thats just awesome. I am, however, having problems downloading apps. Will try again with 0.1.6 with 1/7 gapps.

I used 1/5 gapps before and it took forever to go thru the setup guide.

So whats the difference between 0.1.5 and .6?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dearmasfamily:
Also for space and less boot time remove all live wallpaper in system/apps

Just trying to help users tweak!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etstanger:
agreed 100%
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
to both the person above me and the one who was quoted:

SERIOUSLY! calm down. this rom is ****ing gingerbread for gods sake, be grateful! How rude of you to trash on AOSPs work and the amount of time and EMOTION he puts into a rom, especially this one. Quit your *****ing. go get a new music player form the market if you want, remove launcher,apps, and files you don't like, turn jit off, etc. Or go to a different ****ing rom that isn't an alpha/beta AND happens to say "unstable Work In Progress" !

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
I think I pushed a button when I posted a screenshot of this bad puppy in the Evo Shift vs. Epic thread.

We shall see.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bombaatomica:
Get over it. It doesn't get any better without input. Obviously, it is quite simple to use a different launcher and delete the CM apps and even add in the regular music player apk. What is the point of a thread like this if not to give input on the development of this ROM? The only one who needs to calm down are the zealots like yourself. I was calmly making an observation of the problems with the ROM and expressed hope that in the future, they will be ironed out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Probably because its insanely off topic?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
The problem is users like you.

You're not using pastebin for logcats, you're not beta testing or helping get the new kernel going.

You're not even thankful.

You demand things to be YOUR way. What if nobody wants to hear it?

Please ask nicely in the future.

Edit: Would like to note my post was out of line. And also that I haz no dev skillz.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
It was defending my HTC will have better support argument. On-topic. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etstanger:
If anything, I'm commenting on how I prefer pure aosp. I started out with CM and disliked it. Clearly, aosp > CM. How is me agreeing to that post in any way 'flaming' our dev? Read carefully, tread carefully.

I am testing apps. Nothing I've discovered hasn't been reported before. I'm trying to stay up to date. And its not even like aosp posts in here often enough to look at what all you idiots are saying anyway. He's been doing this pretty secludedly (or so I think) anyway. Get over yourselves.

Don't start a fight on a website, seriously. lame.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bombaatomica:
Users like me? Lol, I'd like to know where in my post did I mention anything other than the problems with the ROM? And how would you know if I'm thankful or not? Giving input means I'm appreciative of the work and would like to see it get better. I'm more of a lurker on this board and have been since way before I registered. You have no idea if I've donated in any way or whether I stop by the IRC or not.

I didn't actually ask for anything, so "asking nicely" for nothing at all would be pointless. You are basically talking out of your ass for the sake of making a point, not related to my post at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
If I took your post wrong then that is my fault.

I reread your post after this reply.

With so many popping up doing nothing but complaining I suppose I've been pissed for no reason.

My apologies.

Edit: one of those days. :eek:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bombaatomica:
No problem. And sorry if I came across as brash. At least it's Friday.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etstanger:
What I don't get is why people think they deserve this ROM more than others. Clearly we all found this place and all have the know-how to install these third-party rooted OS'es, kernels, apps, etc. without much trouble. We all can diagnose simple problems. You have these members with a couple hundred posts that did the EXACT same thing we do now - comment about the little things. My question is did someone flame them to the point that now they have 700+ posts, we have to bow to them because they know more than us.

This is a community, not a dictatorship. Saying someone doesn't like the new additions is exactly what promotes change and progress. I don't like the CM fixes because CM is the reason I moved to aosp - I hated CM.

So to those users like me who are still learning, yes, don't troll and *****, that's a given, but help and learn to become more useful.

To those users that just flame because they think they deserve things more, get bent, you're not helping either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
as far as i can tell, just it's just camera and some opengl issues that are yet to be fixed. camera should be coming soon. i haven't looked into the opengl stuff to see how hard it would be to fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
True that!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Well put.

This thread has attracted SO many users. I didn't realize the heroc community was this big!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
You think if the .34 kernel gets past the panics it would improve openGL?

I don't know exactly how huge of a difference there is in the kernels. I suppose a lot of newer features would function better? Probably improved performance and such.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Only effect is to speed things up a bit because everything is installed internally. No negative effect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
so much junk coming from the cm side of things. 155.7mb used in /system after first boot. just spent a little time manually removing adwlauncher, protips, titaniumbackup, music3, cmwallpapers, livewallpapers, filemanager, livewallpaperspicker, magicsmokewallpapers, pinyinime (chinese keyboard), openwnn (japanese keyboard).

down to 140mb or so in /system. might be something to think about doing.

i really do like aosp better than cm. that being said... i do miss the powercontrol toggles in the drop-down notifications menu.

thanks for the update!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bombaatomica:
It's definitely in there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neshoba78:
I set a static ip, gateway and net mask. No effect. I read earlier that there was a similar issue on another phone due to the kernel. Any other leads/possibilities?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Ha, misread that and thought it said EVO, not Epic. Poor, poor Samsung owners (good screen though! :p)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
no, i know. i'm saying i miss having that powercontrol menu from cm in standard aosp. so... it's kind of nice that this is based off cm for now (in that aspect at least).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Twolazyg:
:D lol

Very true :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
That was unnecessary. Chill.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I love the inclusion of the notification widgets, personally.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Agreed. After those, who wants a home screen power widget?

Also, haven't seen it mentioned, GB's copy paste is SO much better than previous iterations.

I hated the trackball lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Yeah, the new text selector is a vast, vast improvement, though still wish the multicolored trackball of the N1 caught on, so awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Craigerade:
I was unable to install aosp0.1.6 using clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5. I reflashed clockwork recovery 2.5.0.1 and the rom installed just fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cordell12:
Could the new features that GB offers be the main reason the system size has increased? :eek: Surely the CM of this rom has not brought system size that high! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mikethechap:
Thanks! That did the trick. Used Dolphin and it did fine.

Here's some logcat output related to the wifi problem:

(I edited the address and SSID) This is trying to connect to a WEP secured network.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dearmasfamily:
I have TV tube mode feature working when you sleep the phone any one else has it working.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] neshoba78:
I saw the option to turn that on and off in cyanogenmod settings. Is that how you activated it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scataldo721:
is anyone else getting a rly fast boot loop i had cm6 on it before i installed w. ROM manager w/ clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.1 help

EDIT:i reflashed 2.5.0.1 and i installed the gapps first then it worked! loving it no wifi problems either
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dearmasfamily:
No. Just want to know if others have it working.

I checked and it was enabled so I probably didn't notice it was working or maybe it wasn't and its working from a change I made.

Just checking. Anyone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mahalocat:
3.0.0.5 Works Fine -

No errors - Was able to Flash - nandroid - wipe / format and restore.

Beleive newer build are using new code....you may want to upgrade to 3.0.0.5...

:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zexter:
It's just about pushing the envelope. Installing the latest and greatest version of Android on our hero's. Something we were told we couldn't do. There are some nice subtle improvements, but the main reason (at least for most of us, i think) is knowing and showing that we have the latest version too :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
I am down to 135.5. ;>)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] METHOD1911:
Can someone help. Is anyone getting sd ext not found with the newest clockwork.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Disabling jit gave me a noticeable a increase in usability. I had to edit my build.prop to fully disable it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Are you actually using a2sd or just trying to backup/wipe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
What edit did you make to build.prop?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
I've had the same issue since installing 3.0.0.5. I am not using a2sd, just trying to wipe/format, etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
You need to go into your build.prop and change the fast to jit.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Well if your not using a2sd you shouldn't have an EXT (2, 3, or 4) partition on your sdcard.

Probably why it's not being found? Or am I misunderstanding?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
You mean JIT to Fast?

It's already enabled stock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
That's what I thought, too. However, I already had ext 2 formatted on the card, then when I d/l 3.0.0.5, I started getting the error message. I am using firerat, so space isn't an issue now, but still curious where my ext went?? Thx.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Not to turn it off.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Fast is turned off.

JIT is enabled.

What is it?

dalvik.vm.execution:int:JIT

That's close, by memory. Fast is JIT disabled.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
If you're not using it...

Backup your sdcard and reformat it.

Add an ext3 or ext4 partition, see if it recognizes those.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Oh I must be thinking 2.2.......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
LOL, I'm completely confused now :p OK, so with jit on, my build.prop says

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

I presume I need to change "jit" to "fast", correct?

*edit* Sorry had them in the wrong order.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
Jit on is jit

Jit off is fast
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Correct. Same in froyo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Thanks for clarifying fellow Zeam addict.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
Got it. Thx.

im gettin a bootloop. what's wrong? :[

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
read back this has been answered at least once per page for about 10 pages now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gargon87:
can we flash over v0.1.5 or do we just do all the appropriate wipping...btw thank u aosp! im real keen on having a camera but the overal performance of this rom makes me forget about it. i really appreciate your effort
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Calundle:
I just flashed it over 0.1.4 and it's working fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Actually, I think jit is controlled through the CM settings and build.prop has no effect.

Can anyone confirm otherwise?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vinny8030:
dunno but JIT is in cynagen settings though, if that helps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yes, but to completely disable JIT, I believe you still have to edit the build.prop. I had to, anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jc1337:
I don't know if anyone else is getting this problem or not but this latest version wiped my sd card. kinda weird. but keep up the great work and I'm glad to see all of the progress!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mercado79:
honestly, i was guestimating... i added sprint football to /system and i'm sure that is throwing off my numbers. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] greengiant1969:
After rerooting my phone the new build has been great except for when I use GPS I can't seem to shut it off except reboot. Also been having problems moving apps to SD card but I'm gonna try with titanium backup. This rom is good so far and I think good enough to use everyday. Thank you to all the people who have made this a reality.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] J33per:
I have been hanging out in the IRC and decided to setup a repository for the GB roms and gapps past and present.

You can find the file directory at the following url (can't post links...)

romrepo.info

Hopefully it will be useful when someone needs to find a prior version (like I have recently)

Enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Is anyone else having these problems?

-Phone freezes (needing battery pull)

-Phone bootloops at random

-Slow performance (with graphics too)

Aside from those issues, this is an amazing ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
I've had a couple random freezes. Everything else is good.have you tried turning off jit? Edit your build.prop to disable jit and see if that helps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
So if you just disable it in CM settings what makes you think jit is still on besides the build.prop having the string?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
It takes forever to boot up for me, says scanning SD for errors.

Took forever to get google apps to settle out but once it finished syncing and changed wallpaper its quite nice
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I disabled JIT through the CM settings... I didn't try using Launcher Pro though (what I normally use). ADW was pretty choppy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
adw is, was always choppy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I think the reason why this rom (CM7 derivative) is slow due to ADW alone. 0.1.2 had the original launcher and that's why performance was stellar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i think its just the cm7 version of adw the market version is great and adw EX is awesome
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Not currently running this rom, but I always found ADW (at least just the default running with CM6) to be fairly laggy compared to LPP. However, decided to try out EX after using it on a friend's phone, and yeah, definitely awesome. Pretty much runs as smoothly as can be without having to mess with the settings too much (though I still miss a few LP, such as the bookmarks popup gesture, gestures to launch apps from the dock, etc).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Linpack will read 4.8 or better if jit is enabled (presuming 691 default cpu speed).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amehdi43:
anyone get the screen lock animation to work?

problem with root or su?

I am running GB AOSP 1.6 and for some reason none of my apps that require root acces are not working properly. SU grants them access, but nothing happens. For example, when I try to use wireless tether, it says unable to tether and asks if my device is rooted. I cant remove any unwanted system files on root explorer because it says rm: no such tool.

does anyone know about this situation? I tried reinstalling superuser but I cant uninstall it to begin with. SU asked if I wanted to update the binary but it can't and then places a flashable zip to update via recovery but says zip is a bad file.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Did you try uninstalling it with Titanium Backup?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Nothing. Read your post wrong. :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dearmasfamily:
Since no one answered my question ill add what I found.

The TV on and off feature didn't work for me on the default setup.

I had to add the lib from the 1.2 GB (libgles_qcom.so) and change my opengles version to 65536, for the TV animation to work. And leave jit on
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
If you Google, the answer will come.

Hint The answer to uninstall lies within.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pfer10:
Zeam zeam zeam!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
**** now I'm confused. in your thread about opengles 1.1 on page 12 there's a post saying the version number for correct/better results should be 165537, is that for froyo? and 65536 is for GB?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dearmasfamily:
No 165537 is incorrect all together

131**= gles 2.0

65536= 1.0

65537= 1.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
I agree. I am a new zeam convert.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Twolazyg:
So, you got that to work? What did you change? You took the lib: libgles_qcom.so- from the lib directory? I'm a little confused, because I can't find that lib. In 1.2, I have libGLESv1_CM.so and libGLESv2.so, same ones are in 1.6. Can you explain in a little more detail please? Thanks :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrunnerli:
I could not find su on my app liston titanium back up. I also cleared search filters and it did not show. For some reason i can't see any protected apps in my app list on Titanium.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Twolazyg:
Ha, I found it. I guess I need to read a little..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dearmasfamily:
In order to see the new TV feature in cm7 extract the libgles_qcom.so 1.0 version from asopmod 1.2 located in lib/egl directory. Copy it into. Asopmod 1.6 in the same dir and change your overall gles supported version back to 65536.

From what I can tell its cm7 specific.

Also make sure its on in cynogenmod settings which I think is on by defualt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaronpoweruser:
can you post the file or a link to gb 1.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaronpoweruser:
did i miss it or does this rom not have the new battery graph feature of gb also it seems like we lost the feature to change the volume rockers from silent>vibrate>ringer and it has reverted to the default actin of vibrate>ringer or silent>ringer
