First of all thanks for the great rom. Does anybody has memory issue that after full wipe and flash the 2.1 rom, only got 46mb out of 190mb memory available
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] killerblade:
nobody has the same problem as me ? :(

Crazy welcome emails...

Hi,

I have started receiving these crazy welcome emails:

I've received 8 of these in the last 24 hours - it seems like I get a new one every time I reconnect to the network (restart phone, toggle Wi-Fi etc.).

Does anybody know how to get rid of these? :p

Previously I only got a single email when I installed the ROM....

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rasoooli:
Yes , But nothing happened

Only after set APN , Battery discharge rate was increased.

My battery screenshot:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Hi Ele, since you may become the maintainer for CM Hero, I thought I will just bring to your attention of the other existing GingerBread Bugs that still persist:-

1. GPS problems -

GPS will lose connection once screen display is off.

GPS sometimes cause handset to reboot.

2. GB kill/close apps too quickly -

Example, opening a few window tabs for browsing, everytime returning to any one window will require reloading.

This make GB less of multitasking (as compare to Froyo), presumably that GB behaves this way is because it need to clear more memory (or to be more battery efficient?).

3. Launcher appears to be having memory problem -

Sometimes when press the <HOME> button after browsing or messaging, the Launcher screen will only shows the dock and status bar with the rest in black/ or only shows wallpaper without desktop icons (which only show up seconds later).

This bug remains even with setting like 'lock in memory' under LauncherPro/CM setting.

This happen for the default Launcher or LauncherPro.

The bugs I described above may not trouble most users but it is certainly there on all GB ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Elelinux is aware of bug a) bug c) should have been fixed in this release, and bug b) ...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Yes, Elelinux is aware of bug [a]. It is knowned to be a Google problem.

I had tried and still experienced bug [c] on this ver 2.1 (same on Cronos v2.1.0).

As for bug , if coming from Froyo (Speedv3 or similar), on some applications using GB, you may find GB need frequent reloading of page (especially browsing).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Oh btw, the bug on Launcher (which slowly recover by itself) is not the same as the infamous GB 'back screen' bug (which require to pull battery to reset).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
I didn't understand why pull battery, just press "call" "menu" and "end call" button at once and phone restarts...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Oh really? Didn't know you can restart phone via the 3 buttons. Pull battery was the common standard solution :D

Anyway, thanks for the tips.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SypherNL:
Bug C is not fixed in my case (2.1, full wipe). Still having issues with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
I second it.

ROM is pretty fluid, transition animation still could be smoother, but heh, what do you expect from nearly 2 year old phone. I'm using Launcher PRO over ADW since I find it smoother. Running overclocked @710.

minor bug: when Mass storage is in Use and you turn on phone, it bypasses lockscreen.

edit: things I would like to know, but did not find on 1st page.

Does this ROM incorporates Open SLES?

What OpenGL version is installed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I too find that GB kills apps often when browsing. When I browse Dock4Droid often have to restart.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vgkeeper:
@ squeeish .Can you tell me what application you use to see battery historic ?

I download and flash SD-Card Tweak in post 1 , but i don't find any option in Cyanogen and no new application is visible

How can i setup this ??

Thank
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SypherNL:
There are no options for that. Just flash it and thats it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
menu > settings > about > battery history, and the in you press the graph at the top it shows the big graph
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] feltraveller:
:) 2.1 is a winner. Had switched back to your speedy Froyo Rom for a while 'cos of 'the bug'.

No issues whatsoever with current Rom. I did do full wipe before installing and dalvik wipe before installing sd tweak.

It is so much faster and smoother on my hero! Thanks!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Yeah problem is it keeps killing my SMS app and google voice so I never know if I have new messages... :eek:

My sister was mad at me the other day cause she thought I was ignoring her messages.. but I never got them till I opened the app and saw 3 messages that were 2hrs old lol..:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
Hmm, black screens are not completely gone it seems. Had a few today...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Agreed. It's a minor but persistent problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sreenath_pkd:
First of all, fantastic ROM ! Great work Ele ! You are just simply amazing !

Just two questions...

1) Any way we can get the new dialer look? This looks 2.2'ish...

2) What does the SD card tweak do?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
To completely eliminate black screen bug:

Go to CyanogenMod Settings -> Performance and uncheck all options. Reboot. CyanogenMod Settings-> Performance and check what you want + Allow purging of assets.

After that I've never had black screen again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lodder:
I was running the froyo rom as the cm 7.0 was causing problems. But the installed the current version and it works great!!!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Latest radio at VR: 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03

My usage for that duration was almost nil :p, just a bit of WhatsApping every now and then. I left the phone alone for hours.

On a normal day of usage the battery will be gone by the time I get home (roughly 12 hours).

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
So far the best rom ever.

Fast, fast and fast :)

Only problem I experience sometimes is that Android OS is preventing my hero from going to deep sleep and therefore the battery drain is unbelievable (without any use -> 4 hours from 100% to 10%).

This problem occurs with all available kernels (Cronos, Las Ventura, Hero).

I did a full wipe (as recommended) and so on...

Any ideas?

tun.ko

Does this ROM have tun.ko. I cannt find it, and vpnc stoped working. If it doesnt, how can I put it in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm strange well tun.ko is added and supported by the herokernel-12a,you will find it in /system/lib/modules/2.6.29.6@Herokernel-12a/net/tun.ko
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Why have you disabled JIT? what's the point going past Android 2.1 if you disable it ? The only big reason that we all wanted and we are using Android 2.2 and Android 2.3 is because of JIT's power that makes our phones faster and more responsive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thompson2009:
I had that problem in the past. i fully charged my battery with phone switched of. Then booted into recovery and reset battery stats. then used the phone until battery was fully drained. this solved the problem for me.

My battery last two days or more. Unless heavy use then about day and half.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mysteriarque:
Hi all,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberden:
Hi all! Thanks very much for the ROM. My hero feels like it is born again :) I like it very much!

I just have a little question. Am I blind or is the "mute" option missing from the camera app? The sound is quite annoying and I can't find anywher to disable it.

Another small question, I see that there is an optional kernel in the first post but from what I read in the about menu it seems to be the same that is shipped with 2.1. Am I correct?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biersoeldner:
I had install google talk 1.3 now, but video chat didn't work. can you use video chat on your hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterBadguy:
ROM's great so far. Much more quick and responsive than any 2.3.3 builds I've used, and I've not yet experienced the invisible menus/black screen bug after 3 days of usage (all animations are turned on). Definitely one of the best ROMs I've had on my Hero!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
what? where did THAT come from? I've scoured these forums for a long time now and never heard of that button combination.

cool! did I miss something here or is this news to most people?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
No way! It actually works!!

I can't believe I/we didn't know this before. I guess that defeats the need for a reboot menu lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
So I've come back to this rom after leaving GB for a while and using Floyo 1.2. I'm very impressed so far with this rom. It is the fastest GB rom I have tried. I've had no reboots or freezes or menu bugs at all. I have a couple of questions though.

First, Smartass vs Ondemand. What are the pros and cons.

Second, is it still advisable to calibrate the battery after flashing a new rom? If so, I have been using this method. Is it the correct way

1. Use phone until it shuts itself off

2. Charge while off for at least a half hour after the green light comes on.

3. Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

4. Boot into rom.

5. Repeat 1 and 2

Is there a better method?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thedarkseb:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Gingerbread is way more heavy on the graphics then Froyo, So a lot is gone already on just running the OS. And Gingerbread is not even 100% stable like Froyo on the Hero. If you plan to play games on the Hero I would sugest so stay on 2.2. That is just my oppinion :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:

Something clearly not done right during the installation - all these features work in this ROM.

Maybe, you have tried to install it without wiping first?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13524968&postcount=103

and reimer has thoughts about that too. is it relevant to this rom at all? is it how you sped thigns up already or is there room to tweak this more in this great gb rom?

running your rom right now by the way - best gb experience I've ever had :-)

hope the gps stuff can be worked out since I use my phone as my gps often. but hell this really is a fantastic rom!

USB - select to copy files to/from your pc - not working

This is a weird one...

I flashed to Elelinux 's fab 2.1 the usual way....

I booted into the ClockworkMod Recovery V2.5.0.7

-- wipe cache partition

-- Advanced - Wipe Dalvik Cache

-- reboot

Then again within Clockwork Recovery I choose 'Install zip from sdcard'

I select the Hero rom and it flashes perfectly...

Now the problem ----> I cant get the usb port working to enable transfer of files?:(

When the phone boots up it shows 'preparing sd card'

Then when i connect usb lead to pc it shows 'usb connected'

When i then pull the screen down, i see 'usb connected - select to copy files to/from your computer'

When i select that tab, it just crashes back to the home page?

I see the icon at the top of the screen but when i pull down the screen and select as above, it crashes back to home screen again?

In settings, i have both USB debugging and USB debugging notify - all enabled.

Can anyone provide a solution to this issue for me..

thank you:mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
I can't, don't have any problems. Really good this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I don't have that issue - just tried it and it works perfectly. However, just in case this matters, the first thign I do in any cm or aosp-type rom is turn off USB debugging notify since I really don't want it bugging me every time I plug the phone in. I know if it's set or not, the notification irritates me.

But I doubt that's the problem.

I wonder if it could be something with the way your sd card is configured, partitioned, or otherwise formatted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
would be interesting to try lowering the sched_latency_ns even more. you've got it set for 10ms right now and erasmux has found that setting to make noticeable differences to responsiveness in his 2.2 sense rom, and reimer tried lowering that to 1ms (1000000) and said it made it feel so quick it was like running a dual core :-).

I wonder what it would do in your gb rom?

note: check sched_min_granularity_ns also since erasmux has said that he thought that reducing sched_latency_ns would only have impact equal to or higher than sched_min_granularity_ns.

oh - and I'm not suggesting that your gb rom isn't satisfactory already - but reading the comments here about gaming just got me thinking about execution speed. this would likely NOT speed up gaming at all, but it might, possibly, improve any occasional keyboard lag or similar irritating slowdowns. Maybe. just because it did in a totally unrelated rom with what is probably a different kernel LoL.

cheers :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] takuhii:
I'd probably do a factory reset wfull wipe and reinstall ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beano_2008:
It is strange because when i reflash to an earlier version, say 2.0 - then all resumes as normal?

So obviously it cant be the way the micro sd is formatted - or can it?

I have tried a secondary usb lead to determine that it isnt a faulty usb lead.

Both leads when connected show usb connected and 'charging'

I have tried flashing the v2.1 again and the problem persists?

Is there a way i can post a debug for elelinux?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] takuhii:
You can download an app from Market call aLogCat, I guess you could plug the USB in, then run aCatLog and save the LOG then post it to the forum for Elelinux to look through...

The difference between versions could be down to 2.0 implementing USB a slightly different way than 2.1, or a different USB driver??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beano_2008:

Here goes.............:confused:

Doah! USB problem resurfaced

Well.....i did a full factory reset and the usual other wipes.

I reflashed 2.1 and after working on a few occasions, the usb file transfer has stopped working again?

The only thing i have installed was the sd card update file...

Can i remove this update?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] takuhii:
Odd.

I did a full wipe, wiped cache, wiped dalvik-cache and wiped EXT, installed Elelinux 2.1, booted into ROM, configured Wi-Fi, rebooted into Recovery, flashed the SD-Card-tweak, and rebooted back into the rom, and haven't had any trouble...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] roose21:
This rom is covered in awesome sauce! Good work.

I've got a quick question though, my signal seems to be rather dodgy recently, I'm on Orange in the UK living in the midlands, is this just me? Also would flashing a different radio have any effect?

Current baseband version 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beano_2008:
Well, I flashed my radio to version 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 from your version and i find now that the signal is very weak?

On the older radio, I would get a 4bar strength signal on Orange, now its hit n miss:mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] takuhii:
Orange seem to have had no end of problems since thay "acquired" T-Mobile. My wife's on Orange, and her GPRS went tits-up a few weeks ago...

greetings

Looks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It's included in v2.1,only added the option for thoose how want to try another kernel and easy can go back again without reflash the rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Well.. Just updated through the market, so that shouldn't be necessary, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
"Just updated through the market" ? what ? only update maps as usually from market then wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the option

LP problem

Hi all

As i stated earlier, the 2.1 is a great ROM, by far the best I ever tried out on the Hero. :D

Anyway, after some days of using, the only problem i have encountered is with launcherpro. I occassionally forcecloses on me, and it is pretty annoying, not that it has been much better in the previous GB roms. It seems that especially when I press the backbutton or the homebutton to get out of the browser, it crashes on me, a this time, the browser is the only app that has caused LP to fc. Yet when unlocking the phone it sometimes does the same.

My question is, is there something I have missed, in order to make LP work with no fc.

I have tried various setting changes i Cyanogenmod-settings, but this doesn´t seem to make any difference, so at the moment I run these settings:

Smartass 652/352, JIT checked, Allow purging of assets Checked,

the rest unchecked and as the ROM initially comes from Elelinux

I get about 1,5 days of battery with 2 hours of surfing, 1 hour working with different apps, some mailchecking, 10 sms´es and about half an hours talking through "dialer 2" which btw. performs great in this rom with min freq at 352....

Sorry for the long post, hope that someone knows what maybe to do.

Thanks in advance, and again thanks Ele the Hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beano_2008:
