Flash those updates just like you would flash a ROM, using clockwork mod recovery.

I don't know ROM manager btw, perhaps it lets you flash a zip?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It's based off the nightly that I believe was used to compile the final :) (same day etc)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Please go to

menu, settings, applications, application data, manage applications, all, market

clear application data, reboot, and it will be there :)

(presumes you installed the 1.7.1 update, and I'd suggest to install 1.7.2 as well)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gawis:
After some reboots and removing some system apps and restartibg the car everything is working fine

Perhaps it was the bt kit acting up...

Anyways, love the rom :)

Great work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Got it! Great work again guys :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
which browsers do you mean?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
i think dolphin browser does, search the market for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
ive got dolphin browser HD and Miren.... not happening for me on either....are we talking flash websites or flash video here?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Dolphin has it, not sure about Miren. I'm talking flash videos, as opposed to full sites...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
ah okay thanks!

Do anyone uses myphoneexplorer in Froyodvillain 1.7.2 ? How can i on speaker phone while i'm on a call ? Do anyone knows ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sffsi_pete:
Great work on this ROM!!!

However, every time i power off/reboot the phone some of my widgets just stop working and disappear from the list

Anyone else experience this? flashed 1.7.0 followed by the .1 and .2 updates just like told

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
man, this rom sucks. it doesn't look anything like iOS.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
HAHA. I lol'd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds like a launcher issue. Did you do a full wipe before install?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
:-)

well, it really doesn't look anything like iOS... ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Indeed. How astute an observation :D

I can look at implementing these kinds of "features" if you want :p Not sure how I can add a metal strip that will drop signal when touched, but that's coming in a future update :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
:D that made me LOL! haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's brilliant sir!! LMFAO

that would be.... froydvillain version negative 1

edit: for anyone not in the know, those are real screenshots from iOS. not sure about the "slide...emergency" part but the major parts are legitimate at least.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The cool down one is real, as I understand.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
the "1 bytes" one is from ipod touch (running iOS of course) from what I read, too.

anyone else have problem to install latest youtube on froydvillain 1.7.2 ?

in fact i have download problem with all apps...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JoeyM:
you need to wipe market cache. Read post 34.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eko013:
My happy Hero! :D

Just updated from froydvillain 1.6.2 to 1.7.2 without wipe. Everything is smooth. Will test for battery usage.

Great job!!!

You keep my Hero so much alive!!! :) :) :)

video

Hi

Is this rom have video playback ? And is youtube working well ?

Because i always got issues on froyd 1.5

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Youtube seems fine to me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkski001:
ok thanks :) I flash it right now

PS: is it necessary to format SD card or just full wipe phone is enough ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No need to format, phone wipe is sufficient
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Is anyone finding swype slower in 1.7.2? On 1.6.2 i could swype really fast, the new rom seems slow to respond sometimes :( Ive changed the swype settings (accuracy vs speed) to the same level i had on 1.6.2, but its def slower :o

App2sd on partition ext not working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, hero doesn't support built in one. Try installing anetshare or wireless tether for root users ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Working fine for everyone else...

Ext2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ndric59:
Ext3, i don't see on titanium backup donate...

App2sd is a system/sd/app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
There is no folder /sd but there is a /sd-ext instead. Maybe this is a cause of app2sd ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ndric59:
the folder system/sd/app and sd-ext is empty...:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Please rune the command

adb shell collect.sh

via your PC (or run command "collect.sh" via the terminal emulator.

Then PM the file "symptoms.tgz" from the SD card to me. DO NOT POST IT ON THE FORUM.

You'll need to su, to run as root, if on phone. That will let us see what's wrong... I don't know if the ROM supports EXT3, but if it worked on Froyd 1.6.x, then it should.

A2SD with EXT is fine for everyone though, so this is weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] originbook:
I had flashed it yesterday,it's very smooth and efficient. A great job again. Thanks for your work.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jamesking420:
I ran the command "su"-Return in the terinal emulator, and then "collect.sh"-Return. Nothing seemed to happen, and I can't I can't find a file on my memory card called symptoms.tgz

Do I need to install the relevant script (collect.sh) before running it, or is it already there?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Check in /system/bin, but iirc it's already there...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Warper4:
Same here.

I'm have data in /sd/app, but not show in Titanium backup pro.

Too low internal memory every time you install an application. Now I have 120 Mb in internal memory
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jamesking420:
Hiya,

Trying now via ADB but my PC can't see my phone. Phone is booted up in to Froyd Villain and connected to the PC via a USB 2.0 cable... Weird.

I don't know how to navigate folders using the terminal emulator so I'm afraid I'll have to just live with the problem - the level of expertise needed is beyond me. Might give it another go when it's not a Friday night!

press F5 to refresh the download page. it will give you a different link.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Refresh download.php for a new link. Please give me the dead link so I can fix it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JonasBom:
Link worked after some refresh...installed this rom and...its awesome! !!! Best rom. Has anyone tested the rom with smartass 12 kernel?

Thanks a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Should work. Not tried it. Would be interested to hear what you think of it, as Erasmux and I were discussing tweaks regarding it.

See which you think is better for gaming on a game using the touchscreen if you fancy :) Test the stock (included) one, and his flykernel 12 if you are able to help us out :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
well decided to try this rom out.... And well I have to report that just like a few others am having problems with apps2sd.All my apps install to internal memory NOT SD card nor my ext2..... As such I cant even give this rom a go. Dam annoying.

AND YES HAVE WIPED EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
+1 there is something wrong with apps2sd.

BTW, have seen from other forum "floyo 1.1.9" :

App2SD for pure CM6 release (http://floyo.desean.net/CM6-App2SD.zip)

This is the app2sd which has come with Floyo for the very first version. It is intended to be installed on the "official" CM releases which do not have app2sd built-in. It will use the ext partition (if such exists) for all apps which do not support the new floyo app2sd method (see more details on the second post of this thread).

Not sure that this would fix the issue ?

Greetzzz,

latest clockword recovery works fine if you want to change
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] g0at:
Amon ra 1.6 is fine, you're only using to flash afterall...imo its not worth risking a brick updating to 1.7, can't see any benefits over 1.6.

Clockwork lets you choose zips to flash that are not on your sd root dir, so I prefer that. Download rom manager from market, that lets you overwrite amon-ra with clockwork
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I have finally flashed Froyd 1.7.2 to properly test the touch screen driver which Villain claim has better performance:

I did a clean installation of Froyd 1.7.2, installed only Linpack 1.1.7 and conducted the "Froyd 11c kernel" tests. Then flashed the Flykernel-11c generic update and conducted the "Original 11c kernel" tests in the exact same way.

All tests where done using the performance governor at a speed of 576Mhz:

- Not touching the phone during the test:

Froyd 11c kernel: 4.147,4.165, 4.144

Original 11c kernel: 4.105, 4.18, 4.149

- Drawing circles with finger on touchscreen:

Froyd 11c kernel: 2.659, 2.665, 2.702

Original 11c kernel: 2.586, 2.64, 2.851

I see no difference between the two kernels and conclude there is no reason to change HTC original touch screen driver. Note that there are small differences, especially in the "finger on touchscreen" test, this is most likely because on each test I move my finger a bit differently - in this synthetic test there is no difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
do you have to install each update with a reboot or can you install 1.7.2 right after 1.7.1 without to reboot 1.7.1 first?

also the market seems english only....the app descriptions are translated but the market itself is english with all its options....

[Surround General] jwzg:
Good: Sound, smoothness (holy cow, this interface is smooth!), stock appearance, simplicity, pin to tile, phone quality, camera (not the worst I've used), construction and materials, Facebook, Office (better than anything out there).

Bad: No back button in IE, few real Marketplace apps, no real appearance customization, lack of Windows Explorer, no text selection in IE address bar, lack of landscape support in homescreen and some programs

Ugly: Battery life (horrid), no cut and paste, lack of activesync, DATA HOG!

Verdict: I hate 6.5 unless its on the HD2 but I can't get an HD2 without leaving AT&T and I still have months left on the contract. I think I'll keep the phone and wait on updates and see what they bring. I can always use my Fuze if necessary.
[Surround General] XeNoMoRpH1030:

[Surround General] jwzg:
only if you haven't gone to another program while surfing a web page. Then you have to go back through those previous screens.
[Surround General] oldpueblo:
What do you mean by no text selection? Did you try clicking the input bar, then holding your finger on it until the cursor appears? You can then drag it around to wherever you want to input text. Or of course just tap a word to select it.
[Surround General] jwzg:
Not if you only want to delete part of the address. In other words, you have to click each word individually and not click and drag the cursor through what ever text you don't want.

i tried to install the axura 2.1 but i got an error failure at line 13 copy_dir package data data. i have the voodoo kernel but i dissabled it by creating 'disable_lagfix' folder in the voodoo folder.

i tried putting a new kernel and rom on the external sd but i dont see it when in clockwork recovery

According to AndroidSpin, 2.3 has a required 1 GHZ processor needed. So does that mean the G2 won't be getting an official 2.3 update from HTC???

What do you think? Will HTC overclock the processor to run 2.3? Or will the G2 and Desire Z just not get 2.3?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xSunny:
This has been posted here numerous times and this is false g2 will be getting the 2.3 update..
[G2 and Desire Z General] nivlac978:
Your phone's os was made by google. Not using it to search for this question is a sin.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Okawa:
Its a rumor that has been going around for a long time that has been disproved. The G2 will get the 2.3 update officially its just a question of when not if.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whosdaman:
O really? HTC disproved it? Does any one have a link to the official statement by HTC that says G2 and Desire Z will be getting 2.3. Because that article is brand new sayign 2.3 requires 1 GHZ
[G2 and Desire Z General] blackchad:
follow the sources to the original article on techradar. read the last two lines.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nandesho:
As I recall everyone said the same about 2.1 and 2.2 and we see how that played out! Just cool it, even if it isn't official for the G2 you can count on a dev making a build for it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ostinq:
I read that article like this

"we at LG do not wish to support our hardware, so we will come up with some bull crap excuse why we won't be putting out an update, in hopes that you will go out and buy a new phone"

2.3 isn't a huge change, and it is running on the Eris right now, not really the worlds most powerful phone...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whosdaman:
http://phandroid.com/2010/12/07/doe...es/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I don't have to search. LG just confirmed that Gingerbread will require 1 GHZ processor. So once again, I don't think the G2 will be getting official 2.3
[G2 and Desire Z General] minotauri:
the droid eris (htc hero...) just got a ported 2.3 done... and that phone was the 2nd or 3rd android phone on the market.... im sure the G2 will be fine and dandy. The G2 blows the N1 out of the water (i have both) and if the N1 can get it, why wouldnt the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whosdaman:
Official update, not custom ROMs.

Another article that even links to TechRadar: http://www.talkandroid.com/23041-so...cpu-requirement/comment-page-1/#comment-85181
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
Do you believe everything you read on the internet?

How about when Samsung said the SGS phones would be getting 2.2 before December?

Or how about when Apple said the iPhone didn't have an antenna problem and people were making it up?

Did you believe it when a random tech blog reported that the G2 would be released in early September?

Eh?

How about when Google themselves confirmed that the 1GHz requirement is not true? Do you believe that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
Ok but, and stick with me.... this phone has a 800mhz processor but it scores higher than any of the 1mhz phones out there, and is because is of a new generation, so it outperforms them, consequently... this phone is gonna get gingerbread because at the end the g2 processor might have less mhz but it outperforms a higher mhz processor.

if you know about computers, is like having a amd phenom quad core at 3.5 and a intel i7 quadcore also rated at 2.7... the intel will outperform the amd.... does anyone gets what I'm trying to say?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whosdaman:
Do you not believe anything on the internet?

The above statement is very ignorant and assumes everyone on the internet lies and that means Google themselves cannot be trusted to tell the truth about their own product.

And I'm just putting it out there that LG says it's phone that are below 1 GHZ won't be receiving 2.3 because it doesnt meet the requirements. So HTC is just going to break the requirement while leaving the g2 as 800 mhz?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Okawa:
First this is just LG NOT GOOGLE, second the people that answer questions on Facebook are just PR people not actual techs. Tell you come with harder proof then a single PR person from a random phone manufacturer that only really deals in low end phones this is still just part of the rumor that was fronted on some Russian forum.

Just search the forums you will see people claiming that its been required forever but have all came back around to the orginal source and its not even from google.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whosdaman:
Whoops, I forgot that LG is some random phone manufacture now.

I guess HTC and Samsung are just random too?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ostinq:
If anything I would guess its less about processer power and more about GPU power...
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
what do you not understand that there is no requirement?

Stop being lazy and go do some google searches. Just because some LG marketing intern says something stupid via facebook doesn't mean it's uniform policy for all manufacturers.

This is a rumor that has been debunked many times. Stop bringing it back up and go do your research.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Okawa:
Correct, tell Google says its a requirement its not a requirement!

If HTC, LG, Samsung, or Motorola dont want to put it on any device below 1ghz thats on them but its not a requirement from Google just a requirement from the phone manufacture.

I hope you understand the difference.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whosdaman:
Do my research? The writers do the research for me. Those 3 articles are brand new. Not 3 months old. And so far you guys have no proof of your claims.

Do you guys have any evidence?
[G2 and Desire Z General] minotauri:
or how my AMD 64 4000+ (2.4ghz) is much, much, much slower than my intel duo core 2.4ghz.

or better yet, a pentium 3 1.4ghz vs any current day intel core 2 1.4ghz you see in lightweight laptops and netbooks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
And that is precisely why you are an idiot.

If I start a tech blog and write on it that next month Google is going to release a phone that is 1mm thick with a 3 GHz CPU and 1 TB internal memory, will you believe it and then post it all over the internet?

Tech blogs like techradar, phandroid, engadget, etc write articles because they want gullible people like you to freak out and post them all over the internet to get more site hits.

I'm not saying everything you read on them is false. I'm saying that believing what you read without doing your own research is stupid.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMan42:
Loving this random crap. So people think that the N1 which is significantly slower than the G2 is going to get 2.3 because it has 1Ghz rather than 800Mhz?

Sorry, it doesn't work like that, it goes by efficiency and how well a chipset performs, because a G1 running at 1Ghz doesn't equal a Nexus 1 at 1Ghz.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whosdaman:
I'm a writer myself, and we do our research too. It's people like you that think that writers just make up **** as they go when they don't.

I've been researching this as we speak so far I can't find anything that supports any of y'alls claims. I find alot that supports my claims.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Okawa:
You mean other then a Facebook post from LG? What other sources do you have? I want to see a Google source that it REQUIRES 1ghz FROM GOOGLE NO ONE ELSE.
