Problems with new webmarket OTA installs

Hello,

I have problems with the market over web market.android.com that went online yesterday. My Hero is detected in the webmarket but if I want to install an app over the webstore the apk is not pushed to my Hero.

Thx for your help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefttobleed:
looks like u have fiddled around with setcpu or OC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duoxx:
I saw at VillainRoms that GingerVillain is out. Is Hero supported in this new, exciting development?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
The announcement is for HTC Desire Z. So no go for our Hero's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That is for desire z

The hero one is in progress :)

I just don't see a need to release any updates until we have something new to change :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avlahop:
I cannot find chrometophone in the market...any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DonNaWaF:
could you plz support RTL languege in this rom ..

i found "framework.jar" file that will make the rom support RTL ..

but there still problem in the browser does not support RTL but it can be solved by devs they can change in "libwebcore.so" in "/system/lib" to make it support RTL lang and you can find the fix for it in here

please fix it .. waiting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I had the same problem. Chrome to Phone does not show up in the Market in some regions, for whatever reason. To get around this I installed Market Enabler (available in the Market) and reset my location to T-Mobile USA and Chrome to Phone then appeared.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avlahop:
Thx....it worked like a charm....a question about market enabler(bit off topic).I saved my settings...meaning my location so i can restore...was that necessery....i mean if i reboot my phone does it automatically reset to my providers setting about the market...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
yes, it is so with market enabler. but there's another app called marketaccsess, where you can set this automatic.

New Hero release, 14.feb :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Oh yessss.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thooi81:
After installed Ubuntu font, system went unstable and whole memory card was corrupted. Before memory went corrupted, system couldn't properly view Unicode file name, system always showed rectangular character until certain extend, system went wrong and broke memory card to unreadable.

After few tries, found out that Ubuntu font is not suitable to install into this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] max0r1m:
Hello, thank you for this great release. I installed version 1.7.0, then the updates 1.7.1 and 1.7.2. Then I really missed the trackball LED and installed the "Optional FroydVillain Update to Re-Enable Trackball LED".

The problem is that it did not seem to change anything? There was no error while flashing but the trackball still does not glow when I get new SMS or calls?

I was hoping someone of you got a solution for me. Thanks in advance

Edit: I just re-flashed and when i get a sms, it now blinks ONCE. With Android 2.1 it blinked regularly like all 8 seconds. I would really like it to be that way again... is that possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm... lights driver...

I am not too sure about this tbh. We could grab the lights.ko file or whatever its name is from latest 2.2 based cyanogenmod release, and see if it helped.

Lights drivers are funny things :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
install SMS PopUp from the market

then go to options and set the LED color to "white" and the trackball LED will blink again!

if u set it to orange or green, only the notification LED will blink tho.

Camera Problem

My camera isn't working..

It force closes everytime.

Any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] max0r1m:
I tried that and it dit not work. When i say "test notifications" it just vibrates and rings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] exssrerion:
I can't boot to recovery mode.

I try to use ROM Manager to flash clockwork and RA recovery.

What should I do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
O_o

Do everything like this manually, so you know what you are doing.

Put AMON RA recovery onto /sdcard, and run

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

provided that is the name of the recovery image.

Don't use automated tools to flash recovery or things like that. It means you aren't prepared if something goes wrong and have to manually fix it. I'd suggest doing things manually via amon ra, rather than using rom manager.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathandunan:
Camera problem

Every time i want to use my camera it force closes..

It wait until the small screen shows up then force close.

how can i re install my camera?

It seems got software problem.

Can somebaody help me please??:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Reinstall the rom without wiping, see if that fixes your problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] exssrerion:
I get memory error massage from ADB console
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathandunan:
Thank u. i will try.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thooi81:
I am really not sure what is the root cause, my memory card went damage again.

I have the following spec:

- micro sd class 2 8gb

- partition Swap 0mb; ext2 512mb; fat32 for remaining
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Is your card a "good" one? A full repartition might help after backing up all data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thooi81:
It is sandisk brand. After first damage, yes, I re-partitioned it. But somehow damage again after a month when I started realize that I couldn't read some of the files in the sdcard. Right after I rebooted OS, boom! Card is damaged.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Timmac:
Just switched back to this when I got my hero back from repair, I forgot how goddamn good it was! I was on the cm nightlies before and had gotten used to the lag, now this seems superrrrr smooth. :)

Only thing I miss from the nightlies is the newer version of DSP manager, the one with bass boost. Is there a way I can get it on this rom? I tried just copying the .apk over but It said it had a problem parsing the file...

Cheers for any reply
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Check the permissions on the apk. They can be changed using Root Explorer, maybe other file managers too. Permissions often change when just copying an apk in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guroid:
Does anybody have problems with wake up brightness? Very annoying and looks like a common FROYO issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I think it's actually a platform bug as I know of other android devices with the issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Timmac:
I'm not sure how to go about doing that :/ Anyone else got an easier way?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
in other words, buggy ;(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nchary05:
I just flashed , no wipe from FV1.6.2. everything doing great....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nah, I don't think he means buggy.

I'm looking through what people have said, but this twitter seems to be solved by my patch.

Also guys, if you want twitter to show in the market, please remember to clear data for market in Menu > settings > applications > manage applications > all > market

That fixes it here :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I posted a zip instead to do it all for people :)

Try it. Then clear market data to let them show
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Did u do a full wipe coming from 1.6? I flashed it last night. Woke up this morning with 35% battery, 1 hour later with light usage.... its down to 20%!!

I was getting much better battery life from FV1.6, would a full wipe effect the battery life in anyway? :confused:

Or could i just flash back down to 1.6. without wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If you have issues, you will need to do a full wipe to be able to figure out what's going on. No wipe is experimental, and although it worked for me, it might not work for you :)

I'd suggest full wipe install of 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 patch (uploading just now) and then see how it goes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
rather use nandroid backup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] igor.tonky:
pulser: can you please add to the first post - what frequencies and governers kernel is running with screen on and screen off? are they forced, i.e. can i use sleep profile of SetCPU, or the kernel will override it?

i'm trying to check "time in state" in SetCPU, and it doesn't seem to update when the screen is off, so i was suspecting that sleep profile wasn't working at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
^^ OK i'll give that a go, thanks pulser! :)

In my haste to update, I didnt do a nand backup :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'd suggest using CPUSpeed which is pre-installed to set it all up, being as they are all user definable :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK guys. 1.7.1 is a little patch on the top of the main ROM.

I won't be supporting the unpatched version now, as this just fixes a couple of bugs that seemed to cause the most issues (Twitter etc).

After installing, remember to clear market app data if stuff is missing.

It's available at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9655215&postcount=2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
that solved all problems left from the first patch.

thanks for another great rom!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dexter.:
Will try this when I get home.

I had som trouble with 1.6 and no sim card. The screen locks and I can only get to emergency calls, not the setup guide. Only tried it for a quick run, but with 1.7 out I'll go for that. :)

Realized I miss my Hero. And must of all Vanilla. Wounder what happens if I by a Galaxy S for Pulser... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] neo23185:
could it be, that there is also a bug with switching between the Keyboards. Because I would like to have the HTC_IME Keyboard not the Android Layout. I can change the Settings of the HTC_IME mod but I can not use it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Did you install the 1.7.1 patch as suggested previously?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
He would point you in the direction of our resident SGS guys :) But wait for gingerbread to hit AOSP first :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] neo23185:
Jep installed it an also did a full wipe before
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Furai:
Long press on text field and choose input method to change keyboards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] neo23185:
Ok, that solved the problem to change the keyboard.

But now he says every 10 sec.that the Programm HTC_IME mod would be closed. Try again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prinzipal:
i cant find launcher pro plus and foursquare in the market, also it's not possible to update handcent sms. i installed the patch previously.

Dalvik2SD ?

Hey there fellows.

Here is the thing. I have spent some time now trying like a motherfrakker to move my dalvik-cache to my ext partition on SD card (I have only a small fraction of the ext partition filled with apps, but my internal storage is almost blowing up). But it seems every script I find and flash doesn't really works with this rom (sometimes it even screws up the original app2SD setting). I was wondering if there was a dalvik2SD script suited to Froydvillain, or am I asking for something that it is not possibile yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luculuc:
update froydvillain 1.7.3 R2

Have a look there

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/4617-May-15th-FroydVillain-1.7.3-R2-Released

Apparently it solves a security issue and needs a full wipe before flashing it. At least that s what I did, and it runs smoothly so far!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Wow, thanks dude.

I wonder if dalvik2sd and cache2sd will work in this version. :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] merlin699:
works for me perfectly - did you wipe the market cache?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prinzipal:
no, not yet. i gonna try it now. thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Please install the update 1.7.1 which is in second post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Again, I'll say it here in the hope more people see this.

STOP! Before you post about bugs, did you flash the update in the second post (1.7.1)? I can almost guarantee if the issue is about HTC_IME Mod keyboard, or apps in market not appearing, that you didn't. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Its really great with bit updates. I can find some speed improvements :D

Thanks i was also having FC errors in HTC_IME Mod keyboard I'm gonna flash that zip file :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
im on froyd 1.5.....need to wipe huh?^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
This rom is quite impressive: CPUspeed at 352/691mhz smartass on both and I get 4.5-4.8 consistently on Linpack. Very very nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's..... nearly impossible. your exchange account could be using a ton of server space but it wouldn't be the fault of your phone or it's use directly. How could one single wireless device use that much server capacity, whether capacity means bandwidth or space? it's just not logical.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:

voice search crashes

today (after full wipe) flashed 1.7 and the update.The reason i upgraded was because of issues with voice search crashing in 1.6 (no issues in 1.5). After the upgrade it still does. There is no option to uninstall / reinstall. Click voice search, the circle appears and instant crash. I have tried several languages etc, any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
1.7.2 update now out :) Link going into 2nd post right now

EDIT: done :) That will fix it hopefully
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Please read OP. Wipe required from anything other than 1.6.x.

And if it doesn't work, then a wipe is required :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
LOL. You just discovered that VR uses multiple mirrors. If you get a 404, grab the URL and tell me it, but just refresh that download.php script, and you will get another one :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EZY-E:
Can someone tell me linpac result for this rom?

I have 3.5 on FV 1.5, 576 MHz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You should get 4.0 or 4.1 on this ROM then at that speed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EZY-E:
Thank you for your replay, but, what are main improvements between FV 1.5 and 1.7? Any gaming improvements?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mystery30:
Great!!! Works like a charm. Wish i got this suport everywhere
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
The name of this topic is still FroydVillain 1.7.1...

Love your work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks, fixed it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
LOL no worries :) Go send your mobile telco to XDA and suggest they offer live support :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ummm... It's generally a fair bit faster, and obviously we've got all the new Cyanogenmod improvements since back then.

I couldn't list them all (time constraints etc), but check the 1.6 ROM's change list, and the OP of this one has a few. It's just generally faster, and better battery reported by some :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
well...i just tried CM6.1 final and Froyd 1.7 really does feel faster / smoother at same clockspeed (652) so thanks for the rom Pulser!

no issues so far that i can think of...really nice :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] roose21:
Just flashed 1.7.2 and voice search appears to working just fine but when I checked the About Phone section in the setting menu the Mod Version still reads 1.7.1? This maybe a small thing but was wondering if this is normal?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yasin12:
Gallery rarely updates automatically. Youd either have to reboot your phone or use the dev tools app and scroll down to media scanner and start it. That always works for me!

Anyway great rom and im about to flash the latest update. Hopefully someone will be able to get gingerbread going soon on our heros!

Sent from my froyo hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, it's normal, I was just lazy and didn't change it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Correct, it's a platform feature, being that a global service deals with all new media, to save ten apps each running their own file monitor

hi,

i want ask if some body have instalet this ROM and 10.1 flash player on it???

thanx

i dont think it supported, its not possible to install flash player 10.1 in this ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duoxx:
Hi all,

I'm quite new at installing ROMs to Android phones. How do you install the updates after you have installed 1.7.0 ??

I'm using ROM manager by the way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zhebie:
wiped and install 1.7.1 and 1..7.2

But there is a bug in power-control widget.

when I tried to open/close the wifi/gps/..., the widget doesn't show the right status.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I have also been experiencing problems with the power widget. Sometimes,when pressing the functions, they work and sometimes, not. This is the first time that I have experienced this on any of the Froyo roms. Other than that, thanks for the updates, sorted the Google Voice issue, now working and running like a dream. This rom is just awesome. Thanks Pulser.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nzmn81:
No issue with power control Widgets here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duoxx:
Updated to 1.7.2

Great ROM, thank you for the post.

Just an observation. The ROM version still shows at 1.7.1 after 1.7.2 update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JonasBom:
Is it based on cm nightly or final?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rigobot:
I think that the market problem is still present after the first update...

For example "twicca" and other apps don't appear when they should...great rom anyway!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ePh432:
New to AOSP-based ROM. Quite clear about the advantages.. :) What are the disadvantages between this and HTC Sense 2.1 ROM?

From reading several threads :

- For those who likes HTC Sense launcher, lack of it..

- HTC Toggle Widgets

- HTC Flash Lite (is it possible to simply extract and install HTC_Flash_Lite.apk??)

- Warranty support (a waning advantage as device ages...)

- Less bugs (?)

- I am using the HTC Mail for Exchange account sync heavily.. problem reported on possibility of losing job because this ROM's Exchange connectivity killing the Corporate Exchange server really spooks me...

Thanks for help!

Anyone else getting a force close when trying to access the Cyanogen Anonymous statistics option in Villain Settings?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OneTwoPi:
You sirs are fantastic! (that's you team villain ;) )

I've been a (froyd)villain rom user since villainRom 10-ish when I decided to "fix" my phone, i.e. remove the stock htc sense crap. Cheers for beating the programmed death of our phone hardware!

A humble request. Could you also make a release stripped of facebook and twitter apps? Something closer to vanilla, and "I'll get it from the market if I want to" release?

Anyway. Beer money incoming, cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The kitchen should allow you to do that for yourself :) Tell it what you want rid of, and it will make a zip to flash, that will remove them. Once you use it, reflash the 1.7.2 patch, and you're good to go :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, I removed that feature from the ROM, so it will FC. If you re-add the apk, you can tell it to use the feature.

I just removed it as people seemed to prefer for it not to "call home", even though the source code is available, and it doesn't convey anything personal.

Without the apk, the call-back is disabled.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Well, I prefer AOSP.

I've not seen this exchange issue, and I use my phone on a server with push, and if mine were to do that, it would automatically cut the connection (server with roughly 20,000 users :D).

So I reckon that was a one-off, but without any logs etc, we can't really check it out :(

You can't just add flash lite, but many browsers support flash on the hero :)

Launcher Pro Plus is (IMHO) just as good as Sense, now it has its own widgets etc :)

Warranty support is fine. TBH you are likely to get better support from users here, and the VR team, than you would have got from HTC on a software issue. If you get a hardware problem, we'll help you flash back to stock HTC 2.1 using an RUU, then you return the phone for the hardware bug, and we'll help you reinstall the ROM you want once they return it :)

There should be less bugs than in an HTC ROM, being as the Cyanogenmod are brilliant at what they do :) Loads more features, too many to even begin to list :)
