[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Ok. Is there any way I can check that they are really moved to the ext partition? Because with apps2sd progs i see only internal 160mb and 28gb partition. Never saw my 512 partition. Maybe that ok, but where I can check that things are moved into the right place?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emay:
The fact that you see 160 Mb internal storage should already convince you. Otherwise it would be a lot less, maybe 30-50 Mb
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Oh really? Without apps installed, only stock rom apps, and 30-50?

How the hell I have 159 without SD card inside. I sold my 32Gb card to ZTE Blade owner. So far, everything looks to be working there, and it has 2.2 rom also.

Well I think it was SD card and hardware problem. They didn't like each others. Will buy smaller 16Gb card. If that won't work, I WILL BURN this s*itty phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emay:
Oh, I thought you were still seeing 160 with apps installed.

can you hook your Hero to an Unix machine and mount the SD? You will see 2 volumes mounted, one fat32 and one ext partition. On the ext partition you will find an apps directory where your apps are/will be stored.

Or you could use a cmd prompt (forgot the name of the app) and do a ls -la on /system . If the apps directory points to the SD all is working well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
Wonder if we will see a v5 or a final version of this rom? I can't see how ele can improve on this, its just perfect

**EDIT : Told By Elelinux, that this rom wont be updated, he might do a extra theme for it though**
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
It says somewhere in OP that It's the final version or that It's probably the final ;-)

I have tried to install this ROM but I keep getting this error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "hero" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "hero" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "hero"

E: error in /sdcard/Elelinux-6.2.0-Hero-Speedmachine-v4.zip

(Status 7)

Installation Aborted

I have no idea what this error means and was hoping someone could help me with this.

Thanks !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tnt4ever:
brother every things is fine

i just noticed that after flashing and rebooting first time, my hero's battery status was 100% whlie it was on charge, i plug it out from charger, now suddenly it drops to 96%, now 95%..i reboot it, 93%, again re boot, 96%...!

i dont know why its behaving like this, any issue so far with any other user like this...?

if yes, please help sorting it out

NOTE: DBM SHOWN, BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR SHOWN( AS SETTLED through edit settings )

NO ADDITIONAL APPS INSTALLED, JST SYNCED WITH GOOGLE

Brightness also hardly across 10%

please advise here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
As I have used this rom (and still use it daily), Im gonna try my hand at creating a couple of themes, will post them if any good
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
@tnt4ever

Wipe battery stats!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
Waitin' to see the result :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
I have to make only one reproach for this rom: that can not be set dialer as default tab. Otherwise everything is perfect, including the operating speed and battery life time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
heh heh.... ill leave the theming to the experts....

can someone point it out where can i find themes for this rom ?plz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I don't think there is any, but mine. Check my signature or the themes and apps section :-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Will try to take me time to put up a couple of themes, know in advance that there will be a pink theme, because I will give my Hero to my wife soon with this rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Working on v5, hopefully it will be finished tonight
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Finally Speedmachine v5 is finished, read changelog before installation :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
Backing up and changing to V5 asap! and that after months of happy v4 usage!

Youre the best Ele!

Edit: Up and running, no problems doubting to use launcher or launcher pro ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Do I have to port the theme to the latest version or does it work just as it is? :-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Maybe not everything, but the framework you need to port again if you want green volume control colors etc.. , you can try things out
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcher233:
"My opinion this is the ultimate rom for Hero. the reason I built v5 is that my wife should get my Hero soon."

Here's a very good sign for Hero users, maybe any future bugs occurred will be fixed in no time. That's because Elelinux has a ultimate user - his wife! lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks Ele for making the effort again to 'perfect' this ROM.

However, coming from previous version of Speed_v4 with LX0.6 kernel, without a full wipe, after flashing this v5 ROM caused me all kind of issues:- screen slow in response to touch/ slow to wake from sleep/ slow internet using browser/ couldn't get any GPS lock/ GPS Icon still stayed at status bar even after GPS was turned off.

Finally, performed a clean install with full wipe this time, all the above issues were gone. Still, had encountered one or two hiccups:-

1. Changing the lockscreen from Sliding Tab to Rotary caused the Hero to hang.

A reboot cleared this problem.

2. Couldn't find the apps News and Weather, even though I could locate the genie widget apk inside the v5 ROM zip. Eventually, I extracted the same apk from your v4 ROM, using root explorer to replace the genie apk, the News and Weather finally showed up. Btw, the size of genie widget apk on your v4 and v5 ROM are not the same.

That's all for now from my testing so far. Many thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Noticed myself that something was wrong with GenieWidget, therefore I added the themed and one not themed as a option
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Thanks for this new version, the current rom I had was draining the battery so had to find a new one and tried this one already before and was always happy with it. So very curious about the new version!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Hi Ele. Thanks for this rom. It really is soooo smooth and NO fc's.

1 issue that I am having, please check if you are getting it as well.

When I touch the screen to load a widget, it can take up to 10 seconds before the list appears. Also, I am finding music is a little choppy. I have installed the "Smartass v2" kernel but still find short hesitations during music playback? 256-614
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Is it better with a different governor? How about performance 614 (just for the testing, performance will eat your battery for breakfast and ask for more)?

Is it better with, say, LV 0.5.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Have been running the latest for a while and it seems really fast and stable :) Btw, I've updated my theme for v5 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
Although I got a new Desire S, I am getting my old htc hero back as a spare phone :) gonna flash this bad boy :) thanks Elelinux!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jalize:
Missing is G-talk, where can this be downloaded? Tried to install Talk.apk from v4 but can not install.

Ele thanks for this ROM, much faster than GB v3.3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tierra:
Excellent

Hi Elelinux,

This is amazing.

Thank you.

Do you have additional boot screens we can use?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gzdpy:
when i have a coming call,the lockscreen is wrong
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
..i can't find Genie Widget.. installed both of them.. but..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks Ele. I will try LV0.5.0f and see if this sorts the issue with music.

As I have a daughter who lives in the U.K. it would be great to have "G-Talk" in the rom as this is how we communicate mostly. Any possibility of including a zip for us to install. The " Talk" app from the market does not work for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
@adisan2002

Have tested both GenieWidget's myself and they worked for me

@davrave

have added g-talk as a option
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
thanks, ele

weather widget is themed?

http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/5687/screenv5.png
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes that's right :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
the sliding tabs (accept/decline) for receiving a call don't look right, the are off center and left hand part of the accept tab is missing when i slide it along.

i tried re flashing but it persists, I'll grab a fresh copy and try again anyway.

also got a boot loop on flashing the standard android theme, but i presume we're just waiting for you to re-release your themes?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Folti:
Yep, got the same problem with caller screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gone2Plaid:
v5 has hit the sweet spot of performance and reliability for my Hero - thank you elelinux! I've tried many of your ROMs over the past year. Thank you for all your hard work. Biggest test for me was Words with Friends. Barely usable before or in GB ROM, and now working perfectly. Only strange incident was a call issue where my end was garbled but they could hear me fine. I was using SmartassV2, so I switched back to your defaults and will see how the next call is.

Thanks again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lfvo:
The room is very fast, congratulations for the work you had with it:)

Just have one problem, the battery is draining too fast in +-8-9h lost around 40-50% of the battery, maybe is the kernel, I'll try the other kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
We all should be happy with elelinux giving his Hero to his wife ;)

This way we maybe will see some more updates :)

Thanks for the update, i will not flash this, i'm happy with Floyo 14 pre1 atm and stick to it, cause the next few weeks i'm gonna need my phone alot, so no time to flash stuff and reïnstall stuff
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stuart_r:
I had a bit of a problem installing, it would stick at the HERO screen for ever. But I flashed the 'Las Venturas 0.6.0' Kernel and it's now working fine :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mbbauk:
Hey Ele strikes back only when we thought his letting the hero go. Thanks for the suprise Downloading..as i type....previous.v4 was a star looking foward v5 to be the succesor. nice work mate cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] QuAn64m:
how do i get the new senselike flipclock & weather widget to work? i just cant find it anywhere :confused:

very nice and fast rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Try "Fancy Widgets" from the market. Remember, it's not the regular "fancy widget".

Look for the 1 that ends with an "s"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] QuAn64m:
i mean the clock in the screenshots. i cant find it. or did ele also use fancy widgets??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Is called Weather Widget YR.no from pixelspore
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] QuAn64m:
i am so very sorry ele but i dont get it :( where do i get it from? from the market?

by the way thats really the best rom ive ever used :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes, search for Weather Widget and look for developer pixelspore, but unfortunately it is not a free app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
Great ROM, very responsive, good job. Few minor problems however; call screen is shifted to the left when receiving the call and music stutters somehow. I'm using PowerAmp btw. It would be good if you could make flashable zip for fixing the call screen.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
About the stuttering that is a kernel problem with 0.6.0 LVX and Erasmux fixed that in 0.6.2 LVX so flash that and that is gone. i know cuss I use the same player and I got none at 176/652 SmartAss V2 :D

And the call screen yea its a bummer :P but I think that is because of a theme fault. I was planning to smash the Phone.apk from V4 in it to see how it works but I dont got V4 on my PC anylonger :P

EDIT: Ok found V4 on Marcero's site and pushed its Phone.apk to my phone. Now rebooting :D

EDITT: Ok well that didnt change anything :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
Thx for quick response. Will flash LVX 0.6.2 as soon as i can and then report back.

Pitty for phone.apk :(, guess Ele's gonna fix that somehow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
ele said something about the whole theme being compiled into the rom now, which is probably why the new (or rather old) phone.apk doesn't fix it, and why i get boot loops installing the stock android theme.

habarugs theme flashes though, but i didn't receive a call before removing it, so not sure if that fixes the call graphic glitch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dstylazz:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Denniono:
My speed is also barely over 1MB....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
for comparison's sake, on another rom (tastyfroyo) my speedtest in a poor wifi area gets:

wifi 3053 for downloading and 1772 for uploading (EDIT: sorry had them backwards before).

data 1887 down 66 (!!?) up (in poor location) but 1459 up in better location.

haven't flashed your rom yet ele but just thought I'd post the only comparison I have in case it's helpful. I have no idea if tastyfroyo performs well or poorly over wifi compared to other roms fwiw.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pWopp:
Just to be slightly more accurate on this WiFi speed issue:

I got download speeds of just a bit over 1MB/sec with this ROM, which is only about a sixth of the normal speed in the same location with other ROMs - whereas upload speed was in as good level as ever here, just under 2MB/sec. (Results with the Speedtest.net app).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok - well I fixed the typo in my post above since I meant download speeds of 3.x and uploads of 1.x in a not too great wifi signal strength location with a different rom. Which jives with what you're saying.

So I'm flashing this ele rom now and will do some tests once it's up and running well for a bit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey elelinix - you ARE the same person as elemag, right? elelinux == elemag?

I'm so confused...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rejj:
Pretty sure he's not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, so regarding wifi speed, I just tested it in elelinux:

same crappy location I'm sitting in so should be similar to my tastyfroyo tests:

download 3322, upload 984. so while upload is a speck slower, overall it's about the same. download is certainly just as fast.

not sure what's up with your wifi connection (to the person who's having speed issues).

note 1: GREAT rom so far :-)

note 2: that's a stupid adw launcher app drawer shortcut flaw eh? (not rom issue, this is my rant about ADW launcher) - biggest dumb design flaw in a launcher that there could be. All other launchers = drag icon to bottom middle to delete shortcut from desktop. in adw, do that and it replaces app drawer with your icon and loses app drawer without any way that I can see to fix it. even resetting adw settings didn't fix it. ex has a workaround for this but it's a stupid workaround, but I can't see any way to fix this in adw free. wtf LoL

anyway, great rom, just have to reflash now since the launcher's borked (I know that this is NOT your fault ele - honestly I really like this rom so far!)

Cheers,

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattnmd:
aren't you able to

long press homescreen > launcher actions > Open/close app drawer

and drag it into the middle?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
not in the version of ADW included in this rom, at least not on my phone LoL. I tried that, but no "launcher actions" showed up. I think what you're suggesting might be new to ex version, I've seen it there and used that as my workaround fix for this issue in EX in the past - but no dice in this free version. Even then - what was adw's dev thinking? should be fixable from adw settings or long pressing on the suspect icon in the dock or SOMETHING like that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattnmd:
workaround works for adw launcher standalone 1.3.6 and also on ex version (wich is my standard launcher) so something is probably up with this one in the ROM..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
maybe this is why ele offers a downloadable adw launcher version in his first post? :D I didn't quite understand why but it's very likely he was already aware of this issue and explained it somewhere but I just missed this tidbit.

anyway - glad that it works for the version you mentioned!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pWopp:
Well, I tried again with this new ROM, and it just stays the same according to the Speedtest.net app. Five minutes earlier the speed was almost six times faster, with the other ROM. Strange.

But maybe the problem is in the Speedtest app, not the ROM. I think I'll stick to this for a while at least to see how things work in actual web use.

After all, its a great ROM. No problems such as lagging or FC's, with LauncherPro.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I'm so confused to :D no I'm not elemag.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, so there is no elemagnix then.

cool. sorry if I accidentally call you the wrong name sometimes - there are too many names starting wtih e on here for my little brain.

edit: of course the same goes to elemag, whoever you are.

edit2: and a shout out to erasmux, wherever you are

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
I think the rom is more fast then V4 altough I have the impression that the quality of the calls is less.

I am using laucher pro because of the bookmark widgets and the adjustability of the dockbar.

You are doing great work Ele! Thanks again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
first of all, thank you for an excellent rom, it is really fast and responsive (especially with LV 0.62)

But I have a request. Mms for me are not working :confused: anyone has this problem? I cheked apm configuration and it is right as for my carrier info... but still it will not work, wonder why. Any hints anyone? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kenleong:
Really like to move back from GB to this rom, but one thing I really like is the keyboard feature(letter selection arrow) which only GB has......this is keeping me away from froyo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
anticipating the update muchlies at the moment,

would like to make a request though. i've been using the 'hold back to kill the foregroubt application' option, which i like, however there isn't much difference between a tap and a long press, and i frequently kill an app i just meant to go away from.

is there any way to lengthen how long a 'long' press is?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Juwi97:
Is a working WiFi Hotspot included?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The update must unfortunately wait because I only have a modified source, can not download any new becuase kernel.git has been hacked and they have closed down everything, then you can not synchronize database.

As soon everything will start again, I will compile a new rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No, download wireless tether from market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
The current version is awesome, so I can stand some waiting ;) one question though, do I have to retheme everything again? :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mike390:
I think this may be the best rom i have ever put on my hero, it works like a dream!

I have a couple bugs i might have found,

1)when i am in a call with bluetooth and have wifi enabled, the data symbol in the status bar appears and the wifi symbol disappears the problem with this is that i have data disabled and yet it still shows up?

2) Eventually the rom becomes unable to install applications from apk files. It just says installing for ever. Even when i try to install through adb or android commander it just continuously says installing.

Anyone else have these issues?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kopfleuchten:
This ROM seems to be great. However, what is your experience with GPS based apps (navigation, tracking)? In all 2.2 ROMs I had forced reboots so far.

Thanks for the info!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
This rom not only seems to be great but is great!

I find that this is one of the ROM's with no GPS issue, thats one of the reasons why I've been sticking with for so long.

Gps tracking, navigation no problems here.

GL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kopfleuchten:
Thanks for the reply!

One user reported that there were no problems in v4 but that there are reboot problems when using GPS based apps in v5. Can someone confirm this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hirencj:
I think u might have hardware problem.. Rom working perfect in my mobile....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kopfleuchten:
Okey, I just gave it a try. I flashed v5 and so far I'm very happy! I tested two of my gps apps and so far no forced reboot. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

But I have a question concerning the Launcher: What is the standard Launcher that comes with v5? I flashed the recent ADW Launcher and it is much slower and less responsive than the standard v5-Launcher. Any idea, why?

Edit: I just found that it should be Launcher2. Right?

Another question: Is it possible to get rid of either Launcher? Or is it no problem to have both installed (in terms of performance)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
I always set ADW as default launcher and then remove the other launchers with ES File Explorer (free from market) or Root Explorer (costs money). I think there should be no performance issues if you keep both, I just uninstall everything I do not need in order to keep my phone "clean" :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] m4rk84:
GPS issue confirmed. Have moved bk to v4 where I practically have perfection.
