tip...

2.8 is out for some day now.... flash the new version and see after that. I recommend a full wipe so you don't get any problems. Oh and i recommend also to do a full format to the sd card before flashing;)

app folder

Hey just a silly question

I downloaded google+ and a guy with no root phone in Spain want the apk but I cannot find it anywhere... I mean.. I know that apk are in system folder but not all of them, where are the rest in 2.3.4?

Thanks :)

Update: Ok.. I found out what was happening... Using File Manager I didn't see anything on /data/app/ because of privileges... so I used Terminal with su permission and copy those files to my sdcard where I can get them

Hi,

I cannot install any app from market, it reboots on installing.

Any remedy for this?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
Well, Mister Elelinux, Have gone through all four of your ROM's :)

Gotta say, this one is the best, its stable (for me anyways), have NEVER had any problems with any of your roms, always format my mem card, clear everything and flash ROM, dont get random FC's, I dont use sat nav, only really use phone to play the odd game, browse with opera and listen to music (As well as phone calls and SMSing) Keep it up!!!!

In follow up to my battery issue, even after upgrading from 2.7 > 2.8 and switching to SMARTASS mode, I'm still seeing huge battery drains while on voice calls. I'm going to try installing fresh and re-calibrating the battery, but check out the attached screenshot... literally from 50% down to 1% because of a single 30 minute call.

Any feedback is appreciated. I will update again after the weekend of running on a fresh 2.8 install.

regarding battery life

My dev has been on for 2 days, 10 hours and 44 minutes and still have 30 % battery left (avoided WiFi, but had some time using 3G). This is properly documented with screenshots of Status and Battery use, as well as screenshots of my CPU settings etc. Is this interesting to anybody? Should i post the screenshots for documentation? And if so, should i make a new thread about it? Just thought it could be helpful since I've seen different threads and posts in here about battery life.

Edit: this makes about 60 hours waketime, which is just over 1% battery usage per hour. Doesn't sound very impressive, but I think it's farely good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
download the zip and look into it with winrar for example without extracting.

Search for the file, where you can find lines "remove Music"... (or something like that) and the whole other remove lines and clear the lines. This way you do not remove this apps.

Then you can flash it as usual.

If you unzip you can maybe have the problem that you need a signed .zip after this. Signing is easy, but I do not want to describe the whole way. I found the workaround with Google. ;)

And I am not responsible, if this did not work or you do anything wrong!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
I think there are other things that eat the phone battery. I don't get this kind of problems. I get 2.5 days of battery if i only use the data connection when i need it;) and my settings are 19 MHz / 691MHz OnDemand :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
When you installed the ROM did you make a full wipe? of just updated from a previous version?...:)

If you come from previous version and updated make a full wipe and reinstall the applications from market and not back-up...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hero works just fine with Gingerbread, Froyo is a closed chapter, the reason I work with GB for that development takes place and the hardware of the Hero is not a problem just Sense.

Cheers :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
That is not what ele recommends in the first post. If you come from a prev version you should only need to wipe cache and davelik. Full wipe if new install. Having said that though, if you are having problems a full wipe and reinstall is often the solution. Don't use titanium for backup either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thedarkseb:
Okay with Ele for the dev point of view : "why not" create 2.3 roms for Hero as GB runs fine on it ? The only point could be : "because it is a lot of work" (somekind of what artursc says).

Now please let me add the end user point of view : each android release provides new features (at OS level) and new librairies/framework for the application developers. This implies a lot of new apps will requiere GB for being available for our phones !

It's quite a hard work for apps developers to keep compatibility with older Android releases.

So all work from Ele and all other ROMs creators enable our old phones to get the new abilities, implying less work for all application developers (which are numerous).

This is the balance. We can't keep stuck at one Android release and say "okay, let's say it's the last one".

My point of view is that there are a lot of talented devs (especially on this forum ^^) and both Froyo and GB roms are improving each day !

GB (and further) roms provide a future for our phones. They can't be ignored :o)

Keep fighting all !

Great work and many thanks to all our maintainers !

Nice ROM but battery drain...

Hey,

The Elelinux is really responsive, snappy but it really drains the battery really fast. I was before on Froydvillain 1.7.3 and with Wii on, using it quite a lot, with a dimmed screen (about 30% of brightness because mostly inside), my battery could last 24 hours+ but with this rom, it is max 12 hours with roughly the same use...

Any explanation for that? I have the exact same apps.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luculuc:
And I made a battery recalibration, as I always do after installing a new ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luculuc:
two other strange things here

Well I made some other tries... When I use hands on my Hero, the battery is very slow to go down. But once I turn off the screen, let it 20 minutes and get back to it, then it s 5 to 10 percent less suddenly... IT looks like the battery percentage displayed is not live...

And another thing about sms apps, Sms popup and go Sms don t seem to work now... No poup appear even if the app is live...

Thanks elelinux fans if you can provide some help!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
This ROM is getting better with each release, however, there's one problem that bugs me a lot, it's probably related to memory... But I don't know, that's why I'm asking it here to understand if there's anything that can be done to alleviate the issue.

The thing is, every time I unlock the device and try to swipe between the homescreens, it lags a lot. Actually it doesn't lag cause lag means you've done something and it takes a while to respond. I mean, I swipe the screen and it does nothing, I can wait and nothing will happen (so it can't be considered lag). If I keep on swiping, eventually it will work. And as soon as the first swipe works, everything that follows work just fine and there's barely any lag.

Basically, what I'm saying is, after unlocking, the device takes a while to respond to my actions. It doesn't matter if the screen was locked for 1s, 1m or 1h, it always takes a while to respond to my actions.

Does this happen with anyone else or am I alone in this? This is the only thing that really bothers me with this ROM. And I want to know if there's anything I can do about it or if it's RAM related, something the Hero lacks...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ltraddical:
Hi,

I'm using this ROM aswell, with the stock elelinux kernel, and a whipe from version 2.7. I installed Launcher PRO and it instantly reacts to my gestures!

The launcher is actually faster than most of the apps!

I checked the options in the CM settings to keep it in memory, aswell in the Launcher PRO settings.

The clock is 19200 / 576000 with ondemand scaling, so nothing fancy.

Like i said, really smooth!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Try to set the min. CPU to 576-576 and use minmax.

If this works, maybe the min cpu is too low in your current settings. I use 352-672 minmax to try out, whether it has much effect on battery or not.

When there will be FINAL version? Not RC1, RC2, RC3 and etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hiato:
This is the best rom EVER!!!

very fast, very stable, and for me, Arabic language is 100% fixed..

but i have a very strange problem, in the market, when i switch to the "Just Now" apps or games, and try to scroll or even touch any of the apps, i get FC !!

i'm not sure this problem sounds familiar at all !!!

anyway, BIG THANKS for your effort and for the great rom..

2.8 Battery Problem

I've been a fan of Elelinux ROM since 1.8 and i must say i am very satisfied though there was one problem and it ate my battery in less than 7 hours.

just to give you some background, i updated the ROM 2 days ago from 2.7 to 2.8 by wiping only the cache and dalvik cache and my battery was very poor after that update so i decided to do a clean install. My battery lasted for more than 12 hours after that.

but now, here's my problem, and the only way to solve it is by rebooting the phone.

Please see the attached screenshot...

Edit: I spoke to soon.... i restarted the phone and the Mediaserver is still there @ 55% cpu usage.

Edit 2: restarted... shutdown... restart.... multiple times and still the same.... Burn the Rope is also there even after restart.....

Edit 3: Uninstalled Burn the Rope..... reboot.... Mediaserver still hungry...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattyyey:
I had a very similar problem recently, which at the time I put down to the market updates. My phone went from 55% at 12:55 (end of diner) and by 2:30pm at my break I was on 2%!!!! i had left mobile data on and it had attempted to start updating apps, but there were 5 downloads of the new version of maps. very weird.... but like yours the media server was the most hungry. but the market was on 15% display on 27% which considering I had been texting and sending emails A LOT at dinner made sense to me.

Anyways I got home, connected to wifi updated all my apps - ripped out the apks pushed into /system/app via adb and cleared the dalvik cache, booted and charged to 100% then began calibrating my battery as ninpo once said. Since then its been top notch - granted battery life still seems less than in 2.7 but I have no drastic drops.

I hope this helps.... still not sure what caused it, and have been unable to recreate it to get a logcat

@elelinux Awesome ROM m8, been used as my daily since v1.5, granted a few bugs (black screen was a bad 1) but now its fantastic! I think if you could iron out the last few minor bugs, I may never need another rom again! I mean I have had NO OTHER ROM capable of sat-nav while on the phone, (music auto paused for call) and updating my apps, and even have enough memory left for Go!weather to update! awesome source! keep up the good work! We need you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Siauka:
I'm asking about this because it's really very inconvenient when I flash new rom every time to loose all installed apps, call logs, sms history and etc...:/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
you dont lose them if you just wipe dalvik and cache, also use something like gosms and you can back them up,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
I hope when the Final comes, it won't be the end of development for Hero from Elelinux :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Siauka:
But it's told:

Installation

1: Wipe off all including ext partion if used

2: Flash rom

3: Reboot

Or I have to wipe everything only when I come from other rom and in other case only dalvik and cashe, right? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil-kin:
Just flashed 7.1 RC1 on my GF's hero. Works smooth! Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:

Hi guys, I just updated from 2.4 and I have a problem with the LED indicators now. No matter how I set them up in the CM LED Notification settings, all the lights (trackball, green/orange LED) light up for all events. In previous versions, I had it set up so Gmail would light up green, handcent flashed white (and it lit up the trackball like it was supposed to), and a couple other apps had different settings. But now, with the same per-app setting and none of the checkboxes checked under "Advanced", all the lights go off in a seemingly random pattern for any event. Has anyone else had this happen, or know how to fix it?

Most likely it's been answered before in the thread, but I can't find it:

What's the best to do if the launcher takes ages to load after loading some stuff? Using LauncherPro. (since the stock launcher doesn't rotate...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toleds:
I did the recalibration as instructed by Ninpo of Villianrom. It did not help.

Anyways, so frustrated and the only thing i can think of is to re-install everything by wiping everything...

it works.... so far... i have no idea as well why that Mediaserver came out just like that....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
On my phone the battery was also a mess today. Every time when I check the "battery usage" screen, it seems to be a screen thing (the backlight/brightness logo). Now it's charging for the 2nd time today. It has to be a data connection, or backlighting, but even when the screen is off, it drains pretty fast. CPU settings are 19/710 smartass.

See attached screenshot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] goldencore:
Some problems I have:

- I don't have german Umlaute like äüö and so on when viewing web pages. I just see a square instead. This happens with Ubuntu and htc fonts. It's okay with GB fonts, but they are ugly. I have used Ubuntu fonts with Elelinux all the time without problems.

- I am using Handcent SMS and sometimes I don't receive any notification when a sms arrives. Sometimes everything works fine. It seems completely random. I never had this with rom versions below 2.7.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
ok now it's just out of control, I charged it to ~45%, took it out, and then it went to 5% in like 40 minutes. What is going on here?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
try using ondemand.

And wipe everything when installing.

Which is the main consumer?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
:-(

sounds like your battery may have exceeded it's possible number of recharges.

every time you plug in your phone, even just to usb sync some music, it takes away from the number of times you can recharge your battery by 1.

the battery has a finite lifetime of several thousand charges (I forget exactly the number, let's say 5000 though for this example).

So if you plug your phone in to usb charging/syncing 3 times a day and charge it once a day, that's 4996 after the first day, 4992 after the second, and so on. And if you plug it in several times a day as I do for syncing and so on, that's 10 or 15 charges a day, even if only a minute each or whatever.

say it's 15. 15 per day * 365 days in a year = 5475 charges in one year. so you'd kill your battery in less than a year.

And a dead rechargeable battery behaves exactly as yours is currently behaving.

Unfortunately - I hate to be the bearer of bad news and I'm hope that isn't what's going on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
thanks for your replies.

The main consumer seems to be the backlight/brightness (display). It is always around 35-45%. But other times I can go for an hour and only lose a few %. See the image I posted a few posts back? the battery stays fine for a while, but then suddenly it drops faster than a greased skydiver. Often I think it has something to do with my data connection. When I put it in airplane mode I can go on for days I believe. One time I spent a day working in a kitchen with bad reception, and it lasted only 8 hours from 100 to 0. Other days it's still at 40% when I'm ready to charge for the night. Possible looking for data connection drains a lot? (Both with cell reception, mobile internet and wifi).

Note: I have both mobile internet and wifi enabled so I always have an internet connection, I use screen animations, and as said above, I use 19/710 smartass. I thought I saw an increase in battery life when I switched from ondemand to smartass, and even more saving when I overrode the default CPU speed, but now it seems that it also drains the battery faster from time to time. Strange...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool. one thing to note - I'm running the sense GB rom right now (Jiee's rom) which gets intensely long battery life once the battery saving mode kicks in (dunno if that is a GB thing or a gb sense thing, but it's in his rom and works great). I've configured it to kick in around 20% battery life left and it kills off data connection and everything else except regular phone connectivity. Also dims the screen etc. When that kicks in my battery goes down much more slowly than before it.

So I would agree that GB in general is eating lots of our battery with data use.

Might be GB though, not specifically either rom which are really quite different aside from both being based upon android 2.3.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vgkeeper:
Bug V2.8 ?

Hello

I try V2.8 and i have bugs:

"Wifi disconnect sometime when the phone is locked . So if i dowload a big file ,it is not very good !!"

No bug ! it is avanced option in wifi parameters who is checked

I use Copilot ,and it freeze on menus , and i need to kill the task

I reinstall V2.7 and bug copilot disappear

solution ?

and Ele , thanks for the evolution of The rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
Haha sorry I just had to quickly come up with a funny metaphor, guess it wasn't that successful :P

Battery has now been charged overnight, we'll see how it holds today.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Okay, back to the GPS reboot issue. I tried co-pilot and it was randomly rebooting, sometimes I could do a full journey without any problems.

I've now found a guaranteed way to reproduce the problem. I added the Google Maps traffic widget to my home screen. After trying to refresh the widget the phone reboots after a few minutes. Only thing to note is I am indoors whilst trying this so it may be related to not being able to lock on to a signal.

I grabbed a log reader but by the time the system has restarted I think it's filled the log back up so I can't see what happened when it crashed. Is there anyway to resolve this as it may give us a clue as to what is going on.

EDIT: Okay found a way, will post findings.

P.S. Love the ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blooruk:
I notice when using apps such as XDA APP, an error message usually appears when starting the app? The error message requests to close or wait. Pressing wait will allow the app more time to load, but its a annoying inconvenience.

Will try that... I've been using smartass 352-614 for a while...

This slowliness that I find (it also happens from time to time in other situations) it's the only thing making me want to go back to 2.1... I just need a responsive phone, this is becoming unbearable.

Which is weird because when I first installed the ROM, everything was pretty responsive. I have my phone full of apps (well, not that many, but a few large ones) and I actually have less than 90% left on internal storage. I had to move a few apps to the SD card so the notification of low space would go way... Does the number of apps, or better, the internal storage left, might have anything to do with the low responsiveness?
