i have flashed V2.0 and other options including Apps2sd without moving dalvik cache to sd-card and SD-Card Tweak

problem is i can't install any apps---while installing app it will try to reboot again

other phone functions are work fine. anyone can solve this pls
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
48 hours without black menu bug...this is it , best rom for our heros, thanks ele
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Will add it later this evening,only forgot it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
I think the options are not compatible to 2.0 because ele did not want to update them every release. You can expect the update, when the "now everything is working"-release will arrive. But it is not sure, if this release will ever come, because there is no known solution/workaround for smooth animations but without blackscreens. Am I right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
You seem to read my thoughts, but I'm waiting for google to solve the problem with invisible menus and of course cm to for a stable release.

I myself have put so many hours on the bug now, so I give up for the moment :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added 3D-Maps as a option,do not expect to change build.prop more now, because of it, I upload this option
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Don't know if this has anything to do with anything... but I seem to only get black screens/invisible screens/invisible text when I type, AFTER I at some point rotate the phone into landscape. Not sure when exactly it happens, but definitely seems like a screen redrawing issue. I hope google does fix it, cause without that problem 2.3 DOES run on hero very well!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
I can confirm this! Because for this reason I have disabled rotation since a while. I often have had the screen bug while switching between landscape and portrait mode while typing text.

# 2401

I have the problem all the time.

I can´t install anything from the market.

After i flashed the rom it works 2 weeks, but now never.:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
Flashed the old one and it seems to work ok anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Do all GB smartphones have this bug? Or is this just a hero problem? I cannot believe that the Gingerbread releases from the great companies have this bug.

Edit: Or is there no phone with 2.3.3?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
I believe all phones with 2,3.3 made by HTC have had the problem over heard of it on the nexus 1 and desire ontop of the hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Running 2.0 + patch for 4 days now. I guess I'm just lucky I haven't got the famous bug since I installed the patch. Haven't done any restarts since then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
ele, think you may have cracked it, 33 hours up with launcher pro, not as yet had the blackscreen, also not running any animations
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
There are possibly other options,I could take the lib files from 2.3.2 and put together a mix of 2.3.3, which I shall look at over the Easter weekend.

Mostly meant for those who have had problems with the bug, to get a functioning GB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
only other thing is just had a random reboot, not sure why as cant find any logs, may not be the rom could be anything, although it does say it is still up when you go to about>status > then scroll down it is still giving me around 34 hours of up time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Then its not a cold reboot, but a warm one :P it just reloaded like everything, I think :P

Display Calibration

Hey

How can i calibrate the display? I remember in the first android ( 1.5 for me ) there was an option to calibrate the display correctly due pressing a spot on the display the system showed me. I dont know if its correct english =)

do you know what i mean?

Thanks

It looks like we are out of luck with our aged hardware. What was latest version without that graphic glitches? 2.2?

Can we do some regress to latest working code with backporting some features?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pedroxda-developers:
For any browser open with this new version 2.0 update I open any web address or on google.com when I'm connected by data networks, however, wifi if I open any web address.

What could it be?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Not that I have given up hope on android 2.3+ on the hero, but just out of curiosity what are the major "features" of CM7 (android 2.3) which you feel are missing in CM6 (android 2.2)?

BTW, if you are referring to the disappearing menus, I believe that this issue was introduced only in the 2.3.2 -> 2.3.3 update. I also think Elelinux said that he'll try to dig up a fix for this issue by reverting some of the 2.3.2 code to this ROM....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Matri}{:
In my opinion there is no objective reasons for CM7. Just a stereotype that newer means better. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Little to drunk now but,have put so many hours on this damn bug, have simply grown tired, it will be a next version with lib files from 2.3.2, just get the **** to work,it must be fast and stable and no invisible menus
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
I think cm7's biggest asset is the theme engine, other than that there's nothing that slaps you in the face.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Maybe your right :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
I wish I was a little drunk, I'm stuck in work :(

Anyway, much respect for persevering, a lesser man would have given up by now!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Might it possible to post your settings, like size of VM, dithering dis(enabled), animations on/off, free memory, launcher, compcache size? I have disabled all animations, I really do not need them.

Initially I have thought my black-menu bug has also disappeared, because I have opened many apps and tried a lot of things without any appearance. But actually after 36h the bm-bug appeared. And actually it appears always after around 24-48 h of usage.

It is only personal feeling, but I often encounter the bug after or while typing sms or emails. But I think it is not keyboard related. I have tried GB-keyboard as well as swiftkey with no difference concerning bm-bug.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I read somewhere that there were more who felt the bug same, that occurred when the phone is in syncing email etc.. but I can not confirm it.

I shall now over the weekend putting together a mix of lib files from 2.3.2 to avoid bug in other words, reverting a notch,just to get a stable GB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
I had some problems with 2.2 against exchange in crossforrest environment. I will try to downgrade again, but for now I really need this working.

Is there way to sync source against specific subrelease of AOSP? Like repo init -b 2.3.2 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterBadguy:
Just went from a CM7 nightly (build 32 I think) to this, and it seems much faster already. Obviously a little too early to tell with regards to the notorious menu bug, but I've installed the patch, so I'll post back asap if anything happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Mikarbach I think is right to mention those settings. I had bug a few times many many weeks and versions ago now..just never have now on whatever ele version. I read and read about it, but have a bug-free time. Didn't ele or someone recommend compcache settings etc. to get stable? Working here for ages
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buddn07:
I don't know if it's any help at all, but my girlfriend's magic is running 2.3.3 on Ginger yoshi's rom and has no problems. I only point this out as it's similar hardware.

Thanks for all the effort put in here ele, I can't believe I'm due an upgrade and haven't rushed into it yet!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
when I flashed v2.0 I immediately experienced a lot of black screens on almost any app that I could open at that moment. I flashed the patch and immediately they were gone.

Been using it for a couple of days now (using Zeam Launcher), and I only experienced a black screen one or two times, and one time my lock screen became inresponsive (pushed end-call button, lock screen showed up, didn't respond to input, screen went black again. Then when pressing end-call button again, the same happened over and over. Removing battery and reboot fixed the problem).

So far I'm very happy with this release! Keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marviv69:
after replacing the sim card of another operator does not find the network and constantly crashes system error .rom your Elelinux-7.0.0-Hero-v2.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterBadguy:
Started getting the black screen problem during app launch/use at around 13 hours after initial installation unfortunately, and that's with the Ver. 2.0 patch applied. Reboot fixed the issue though, and so far no further issues.

ROM overall is far more stable and quick than any of the CM7 nightlies using 2.3.3 I've tried.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
invisible menu again...this is really starting to annoy me. Which version did not have this bug?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bigeras187:
running v2.0 run for a whole week with not one single patch installed - not a problem of any nature except for the contact growing from 91 names on the sim card to a staggering 3600+ - each multiplied numerous times - this has happened on every version

any suggestions :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
It's not rom related. I am assuming you are using a google account (so you can access the market). It's google's fault and I will explain why this happens on your phone and I'll give you the fix but first you need to tell me how are the sim contacts applied in your phone book after you flash a rom with full wipe. Are they automatically restored or are you restoring them manually? I am not having any sim contacts so I dunno how they are restored on Android after a fresh flash of a rom.

I'm using the patch with the default settings, all animations :D and latest launcherpro plus. I sometimes get a black screen on the home screen but I fix it with a swipe using my finger across the screen. I am not having any trouble in menus or while texting or anything else.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bigeras187:
after a full wipe of user data, cache and dalvik i then installed v2.0 from zip file on the sd card - when installed and rebooted the contacts list on the phone was empty.

altered some settings - ring tones, home screen and logged in to the market and google to get updates - then rebooted.

it has been after this that the contact list starts growing from the actual number on the simcard to the amount i have now 3595

in a way of trying to sort out this problem i went back to the stock android 1.5/2.1 and contact list did not grow at all

??????????????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Hi,

Great ROM. Don't know if anyone else has been having a similar issue:

Camera works fine for some time and then all of a sudden it doesn't make the shutter sound when you take a picture. The battery is drained by something after this. If you kill the camera process you cannot restart it and it says: Cannot connect to camera.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TomasNM:
Here the same. Please help us to get the Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
market is there but you need a full wipe before flashing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TomasNM:
I did everything already. Before zip flashing,after,... but no Market icon was there.

Okay,I found standalone apk for Market,but I cannot use search functionality. So,not working the right way yet,so I have to go ahead with investigation.

Edit:

So okay,now it is working.

For those with my problem,have a look here:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
I've been getting blank menus & screens today. Yes I did full wipe, cache & dalvik and I flashed the blank menu patch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
Hmm, the definitely has something to do with memory or something like that. It never occurs right after a reboot, takes hours to show. I used to have 4 screens with widgets, including LauncherPro's calendar and messaging widget. As soon as I removed the messaging widget, my keyboard bugs and blank screen bugs happened less frequent.

Also, the HTC_IME bugging almost only happens in landscape mode. If it's bugging and text doesn't appear in the input screen, it'll work fine in portrait mode. Sometimes killing the keyboard helps, usually it means I'll have to reboot.

I've got homescreen and messaging app locked in memory, might try if not keeping messaging in memory helps a bit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
Flashed this to show off to my iPhone 4 rival that my phone could run latest version of android but I keep getting black screens or invisible screens. For instance, if I run it for a while, holding the power button and waiting for the options to come up is useless cause the thing is invisble. Same goes for any pop up options like trying to add widgets. Maybe it's just my phone can't handle it :/

Wow. Did you even read ANY of this thread before posting that question?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
No sir, I did not skim through 240+ pages but that's a great suggestion! I'll get right to it!

No but srsly, I just realized the fix in the first page...thanks for the support.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Meant no disrespect but the answer is very easy to find without adding to the "240+ pages." As a general rule, before flashing any rom or to find resolution to issues, I always first read the changelog on the first page, and then last 5 or so pages. I find that answers most of my questions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
Well when you said any of the thread, I thought you meant the actual thread, not the first page but don't worry about it lol. On topic though, i'll stick with this rom for a while but my first remark is that it's a tad bit more sluggish than VR13 but not too slow though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TomasNM:
Hey guys,

which Radio are you using with this ROM?

In my case,even tough Wifi was all the time connected,after unknown while it stops to transfer data and should be reconnected. Also GSM/3G signal indicator was often(each few minutes) dropped to no signal,but in this case,I was all the time able to make and receive a call. Before I was stock ROM 2.1 and I had GPS problems with navigation,when it navigates me few hours(often also in minutes),then suddenly lost its signal and I must restart the phone,because it didn't connect to GPS afterwards(very annoying in a strange big city).

Well,one hour ago I flashed another Radio(Baseband),so I will see,what happens.

However,please be patient to me,because I found a way to flash ROMs to Hero 2 days ago. For Raphael and older WM devices it was a question of few moments.

I had planned that I'd had time for a lot over the Easter weekend, but due to my parents who are getting old had to help them, now this weekend I hope to get some more time over.Har also talked to erasmux to find a sensible solution to a maintainer for CM7 for Hero.

Expect an update in which case this weekend,the source has a lot of new updates, but on the bug, there are lots of different solutions that work for some and for others not, also look at the patch contained in cyanogenmod forum it is similar to that I build based on 2.3.2 works for some others not is no ideal solution, unfortunately.

A Question to Ele and the community

Hi Ele and all Elelinux 7.0 Users!

First of all, i would like to say thank you Ele for the time and hard work you invested in your ROM. 2nd: Everyone, please don't get mad about the things said in this post.

Even if i haven't donated any money to you, Ele, i have the feeling that i should encourage/animate you, to keep on going : ) There are a lot of people using and loving your ROM! I'm following since 0.9 and you (and also others) did fantastic work!!

But on the other hand, there is some bad news:

Announced here and discussed here. That means, that there is actually no maintainer for the Hero version of CM7 and they sopped supporting our beloved device!

The thing is: i'm not a developer, unfortunately. There are just a very few there outside and Ele, your one of them!! :D And we are all glad about this! What i understand from the CM announcement is, that they complain a bit about the fact, that no (or very few) fixes created in ROM customization are contributed back to CM. Another thing i read from some of your posts, Ele, was, that you're a bit tired of chasing this ugly bug.

And now it comes, what made me write this post: Ele, why shift a little your efforts and why not become maintainer of the CM7 Hero port? (btw this question goes to everyone capable of doing this, unfortunately i'm not :( ) I see the possibility of getting in touch with experienced developers, sitting directly next to the "source" and last but not least earn even more respect from the community.

I'm really not sure if it is right to ask for that. I can imagine, that it will take a lot of time and energy. But on the other hand i have the feeling i would like to shout out loud: VOLUNTEERS!! WE NEED A MAINTAINER - PLEASE!!! : )

I really love my Hero, i don't see the need of getting a new device. And it would be a pity, if the support for that device would run out...

Ele, what do you think? Feeling like a maintainer today? Everyone else? Somebody? I mean, we're a community! Together we should manage that!

Thanks for reading. Bye, Marc.

Calendar

Hello,

coming from Cronos 2.2.0.0 Sense Éclair, I am using this ROM for a few days now and I am very happy with it. The only problem I have so far is the calendar, the same like Otze in post 965. There is only the Google calendar but I need the local Android calendar. Is this a HTC Sense feature or am I doing something wrong?

Any hints are welcome.
