[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
After flashing the Phone.apk, the Rom's performing much better. Strangely the lags I was experiencing went away. I have now flashed the beta2 and things look good. Guess, I will edit my first comment on this thread now.

Especially GPS; somehow it's working like it has never worked for me. All I did was edit the GPS.conf with my country servers and am getting a lock in less then 10 seconds the first time and in less then 3 seconds every time after that.

The only downer for me is the lack of A2SD, but that is something most people can live with. I tried DarkTremor Apps2SD but it did not work for me as some people have reported. Camera is something we better not discuss for any GB ROM as of now.

As for graphics, the status bar icons are much better but the check boxes and radio buttons really suck (l0st.prophet did some work on them as well in his latest updates), and the fonts are a bit too thin and light for me.

I will try to update the icons for CM7 as soon as my little one goes to sleep and make a flashable ZIP, if someone wants they can use that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tfn:
Added to the first Post Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
The video playback works fine on this rom?

And APN DROID widget turn on and off connection?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
presumably video and cam are same as with cronos gb. in which case the camera's probably really good but just a speck slower than on some other roms, but video recordnig probably hangs when trying to save the file.

video playback is fine in cronos so it's probably fine with cm7, but obviously not when playign back the corrupted video files you can record with the camera ;-)

just using some logic here. I haven't gotten cm7 to run without random resets, but it and cronos are sharing code back and forth they probably are very similar in performance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I can't see how until apn droid gets an update. I think that it's the app, not the rom, that is the problem - it's not gb compatible afaik.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
hmm ok that some reasons because i dont change my rom now.. video playback is essencial for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] UbuntuBhoy:
Video, and video recording all work fine. No issues with saving the video file.

You are the first person I have seen posting who has re-boot issues, have you tried the beta2 download?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
Ubuntu the problem is to play video that you record with cam.. can you play it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
did at 10 second test, recorded fine, played back fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mhasan90:
i recorded a 1min video, playback was smooth. there doesn't seem to be any issues. haven't had any random FCs either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
wow fantastic info. I will test soon. Thanks:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
I have updated the status bar and other icons, radio buttons, check boxes etc. for CM7. Here are what they look like (see attachments). I have just taken some icons from Kalagas Theme for Floyo. All credits to the author. The status bar icons are from deviantart. I cannot recall where from devianart i got them. If the author sees them, kindly PM me and I will update the credits.

Don't beat me if something goes wrong :p. I tested them on my Hero and they work fine.

Flashable zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?bagq4uok84b82ee

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
its possible cyanogen resolve this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
That's unknown, so to be logically accurate I must say that it's not impossible. However I think it's in the hands of the author of the tool.

This is how Green Power managed to be the first (as far as I'm aware) power control app that updated to work properly with gingerbread - it can control data just fine as of version 3.2. I don't believe, but could be wrong, that juice can do this yet, nor most other power switchers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Juice defender DOES NOT support gingerbread data control correctly as of the time i write this.

Its the reason I swapped to green power.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Anyone having issues with "Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 03a" ?

I get random reboots :/

Thanks Cortiis, as soon as my phone is charged i'll install this :)

Thanks again for such a quick port :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Nope, no problems here so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
only issue I have with green power (tried gb friendly free version) is that it slowed down the phone wake up process too much.

I'll try more though as I get more used to GB and to green power.

note: it DOES improve battery life. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
hummm i found other bug..

this rom (gallery) not support PICASA sync but if you guys install it:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6916111/Gallery 3D v1.1.30682 Desire.apk

is working :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tfn:
Post updated --Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I'm currently running Cronos 0.0.9. Is there any compelling reason to switch to this ROM? I'm not having any current issues with Cronos other than sometimes missing calls (with no notification of a missed call).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
That's not compelling?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Good point. :p

So if I come from Cronos to this one do I have to do a full wipe? And speaking of that.....what exactly constitutes a full wipe. Do I run down the wipe list one at a time all the way from reset phone down to wipe rotation?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] m4g1k:
Hi,

I think this is misspelled:

- Before flashing make sure you do a total wipe data/cache wipe (expect if coming from beta1)

Should be except instead of expect probably ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] UbuntuBhoy:
I would say yes, just to be sure. But you can always try and see what happens. I would wipe dalvik cache as a min though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scrollo:
Excellent

Running this at 710/19 with DarkTremor a2sd and Cortiis' icons. Visually pleasing, no app issues at all and silky smooth in all departments. Thank you to all contributors, this is really great work. Slightly hairy install, I got the setup routine 3 times, possibly due to me flashing everything at once with no reboots in between.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] apesgrapes:
gonna try this tomorrow, but gotta love this review.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
This is my sob story about battery life. ;)

I wiped my battery stats last night because I was getting just terrible battery life. This was going CG-0.0.9 to CM7-beta1 to CG-0.0.9, full wipes in between. Wiping the battery seemed to help a lot.

Today I flashed CM7-beta2 and afterwards watched my battery drop from 60% to 50% in about 10 minutes after the ROM had a chance to settle. I then wiped the battery stats again and that solved the ultra-drain immediately.

I haven't had to wipe my battery stats in months. But since I've been playing with CM7-beta the last few days something seems to be up.

Anyone else have similar experiences?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Download link in original post for the ROM is broken.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Has anyone tried Flykernel with this ROM? If so is there any noticeable difference in performance/stability/battery life?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
Did you tick "backup my data" etc in google services? That usually takes up a lot of battery power when you first load a rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Nope. I never tick that box, for that exact reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
OK, have flashed this and messed with it a bit. Seems pretty good so far. Animations aren't smooth as others have said and my favorite dialer (TouchPal) forces closes so I'm using DialerOne instead.

I flashed lostProphet's graphics fixes before first boot so didn't have a chance to see what default graphics look like. The one thing I've noticed is that there isn't any percentage in the battery icon on the status bar. Is there any way to get this?

Another question: anyone having problems downloading things from Dropbox? I get an error message whenever trying to do this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scrollo:
This rom comes with flykernel-12pre2, at least that's what the 'about phone' screen tells me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Does DarkTrmor A2SD work with this? I see that some users have reported that it does for them. For me there is no change after flashing DarkTremor. My phone memory still goes down. Any specific requirement to make it work. I tested with CM beta2.

Edit: command a2sd cachesd solved the issues for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Reflashed my Hero 5 times, everytime full wipe of everything

It keeps bootlooping after installing latest DT A2SD.

Tried installing with only the rom flashed, tried with rom and gapps installed.

It freezes at random spots (bootscreen, while setting up google account, while in homescreen) then reboots after awhile

When not installed everything works fine. Got a lot of stuff on my Hero so i'm back at Cronos 0.0.9, cause everything works on that build
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lghe44:
APP2SD is disabled in CM7 Beta2, a little disappointed for it!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
Do I need to make any kind of wiping to upgrade from beta1 to beta2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
I know alot of users like to see screenshots before flashing this rom.

These are screenshots of CM7 Beta2 with Cortiis modified iconset

and LauncherPro Plus v.0.8.3

Screencaptures taken with:

"Screen Capture"

"drocap2 for root users"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I am now testing out this thing, There are some graphical changes to CGB 0.0.9 But for the rest, to say, Its 100% better is just overkill of someone who hates Cronos.

Both roms run just fine, Atm sticking with this one. Not really in the mood to flash anything back.

Though really wondering why there is a PRE Kernel in this rom and not some released one.

But for the rest NP.

And to the A2SD people. Like Erasmux said, DarkTremmors thing is way to bloathed and lots of useless stuff in it. This is just something he said. I don't use A2SD, Someone tried the Flykernel 12a and the CM package before that one? to see if it works. Or maybe the CM A2SD in the Floyo topic??

Just an idea for your who desperatly need to have a 1000+ apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Was going to try later today different a2sd packages (like the one from floyo and cronos)

Like you say, there are no real differences between cronos and this rom, there both equal qua speed and compatibility. Both work fine for me the way i like it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] plutarcian:
About battery issue

hi all. dont know if its relevant or not but CM has ALWAYS messed up my battery. back on eclair, froyo and now maybe even GB.

the issue as far as i remeber was that once u flash at say, 50% battery, CM assumes its 100% ( or maybe 90%). even now on a VERY STABLE CM 6.1, if i reboot my phone, the battery % jumps from 50 - 75 after reboot. though it actually IS 50 and falls pretty quickly ( from 75 ).

dont know if u guys are facing this but what i do is flash only at 100% battery and if battery info is messed up, i wipe battery stats and charge with the phone off.

hope it helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guul76:
Can anyone make a decent download of the Rom on their own server?

I cannot get it directly on my phone via mediafire etc...

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
i tried the last flykernel12 and flykernel11c and the phone got stuck at the "hero" screen...had to pull the battery out :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
I'm running flykernal-12a right now, and it works just fine for me. Not sure what the issue is for you though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
me too, it works just fine with the pre kernel... but it hangs if I try to install the 12a :confused:

also, opengl is bugged, no texture, and display is using way too much battery. Apart from that a very stable and usable rom :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
Might be because you downloaded the one made for CM6.

Try this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
it hangs just the same :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
Sorry, I have no idea what's wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
This Hero Gingerbread version is a great rom, esp. in combination with Flykernel 12a (710/176).

No problems so far: fast, smooth, reliable (bluetooth, gps, wifi is working!) and no FCs!

A small hiccup: the GPS toggle doesn't work correctly.

Many thanks Lox for your fantastic work to bring the latest Android version to our hero. :-)

I look forward to the final release! :-) :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
That's unfortunate, mine also stuck at Hero-screen, but that was when I used Cronos. With this ROM I haven't had any, and Flykernel-12a also works well...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
ppl, when i receive call or sms my trackbak doesnt blink, how can activate that?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andyt95:
Is the CRT animation on here?

stupid question but i just love the animation :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
No not yet, might not happen by all accounts ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
and yet I've read of it working in cdma hero with certain configurations of cm7.

mmm... the potential is so enticing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
although somehow, as if by magic, they have the tv off animation on the CDMA hero.

how come it is so different with our standard hero's? i thought the only real difference between the phones was the radio, and if i remember rightly a very slight cpu revision....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Sounds great, bring on the bling ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ha, beat ya by one post LoL ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
haha :) yeah saw that after i posted, must've been typing at the same time!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well we can say that the GSM hero dev is split up. Soon we got Lox with CM7 Elelinux with a version of that, Feeyo with his version RaduG with a 99% AOSP and 1% CM one.

And then we have CDMA, They just help eachother. I still don't get why americans can do that, And the people of the other countries can't...

I really don't get it.... :(

There is no need to be awesomenerr then someone else here. I think your all great. Pulser did one hell of a job on Froyd. Erasmux on Fly and Floyo. Feeyo on Gingerbread. (Just face it guys, if you dont look at the GPL Incident, He did a nice job there...) Riemer now on the .35 Port of the kernel, Awesome progress there.

Elelinux is doing great in to making some nice customized mods.

RaduG on one hell of a 2.1 Rom and now his 2.2 Tasty, Did some things that I now use in all my roms.

If I look at it, all the roms are the same. Only look and preinstalled apps are different. Thats it...

But if you combine all that stuff, What you think you'll get??

Riemer already said it in the Elelinux 7.0.0 topic.

But I can hope. But it will never happen anyway. Stupid groups :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jake_in_notts:
Loaded this ROM and was very impressed - almost ready to stick with it as it looked and felt so nice. I noticed two things that made me uninstall which i hadn't read about.

Bluetooth audio didn't pair with my headset

I couldn't open an appointment in google calendar

anyone else had this problem or was it just me ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Bluetooth is working fine (pairing with my car's hand free bluetooth without any problems incl. calls) and also no calendar issue for me ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I haven't tried bluetooth, but I'm having no problems with the calendar. Might be worth a reboot and check again.

Battery life is really outstanding with this ROM. Probably the best I've ever had on this phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
well the battery life on this room is fantastic.. 576/176 3,5 days.

up more frequency i dont know

but guys your trackball blinks when receive any sms or lost call?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
ok noobhero find the solution for that.

Under your apn settings, u gotta change the

Default, supl

To

Default

Only then, apndroid will work. ( that is if u set apndroid to activate via renaming )

thanks noobhero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Ok, I'm kind of embarrassed....I can't remember if I flashed this rom or the one by Ganii. They both seem to be identical but I don't want to flash an update for one that was meant for the other and mess things up. So....how can I tell which one I have on my phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
They are 100% Identical. as they both link to the same page on CM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faddys123:
What are the things that don't work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Everything works, But the speed is not 100% in this rom..

On another one atm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Yes!

And I reported my Thread ;) So Thread is closed,because this

Thread has more posts,thats`s the only thing ;)

But I asked the Mod and if this happens against with me or

other users and other therads,we should immediately report

and then they puting out the thread which was created

as the last and postponed the Posts. ;)

Normally they would do this,but as I said,the other thread

has more posts and so it is the easiest way for this 2 threads.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faddys123:
Battery percentage mod?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
hey rdejager,

just a quick question. on the rom you are currently on (;))

how did you get it to boot? i keep getting stuck at the hero logo and this has never happened to me before, before you ask, i am no noob. have flashed every rom under the sun! haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Not at the moment.

It`s included/a option at CM Parts,but not available

at the moment,maybe in feature!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faddys123:
Is this rom for daily use? Also does the trackball change colours? For SMS blue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zagielek:
I am using it for a couple of days and it is quite stable for a beta.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Post it in the topic of the rom And not here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Nexus One supports other colors for trackball,but as far as I know

not possible at the Hero.

There are no other colors for trackball,maybe possible with the led!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Hero is a boring phone, It has a yellow led and a orange one and a white trackball thats it..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faddys123:
Can you use them colours for notifications?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well the orange one is for low battery and the yelow one when charging and when there is a notification it is flashing. In some roms the trackball is used for notifications aswell. But the orange one. Nope cant use that one.

And on the hero you cant change the way they work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Maybe possible to change led colors for notifications.

So we can use orange,or yellow too,but don`t know

about this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well they are both individuall leds, so the engine to drive them is diferent. If you can manage to change that, then yes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Can`t but maybe possible for other.

Same for "CortiisUpdatedIcons4CM7.zip" -> hangs the phone on the "HERO" screen

Seems like flashing anything from recovery after installing beta3 hangs the phone on the "HERO" screen

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Beta 3 working well for me. Best Of the GB roms I've tried so far. Using 3 cubed player for music. GPS lock is very fast and stable. Linpak reports 4.87.

Theme chooser shows 3 themes. Running on Smartass governor@176-691Mhz.

This rom boots faster than any other that I have used to date. All I can say is WOW!

Had to reinstall Appbrain but all working fine again. Thanks for this great effort.

After installing this rom I cannot wipe data.

I installed google apps from the link and in the middle of downloading apps its crashed. So I tried to WIPE EVERYTHING and then installed again rom beta 3, but some of the google apps left. I tried several times.

My steps are:

Full wipe, repartition sd card, ms mount, copy beta3 rom, install zip file

After that the google sing in start again, so and android tap to start ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mundigranja:
Yes. Google apps are embeded on the rom. I did a full wipe, installed beta3 zip file, booted the phone, and google apps were there!!??
