Have you tried to unplug usb cabel and back again,because if you have the usb cabel pluged after a reboot then then it's probably not work.

Have you used TB for some backup ? normally the usb mount work fine,if you not have used TB for backup and still have this issue,well try to download the rom again,make a proper unmount of your sd-card after the file transfer, and wipe of all (factory reset.dalvik, and ext partion if you use that).

Something to think about for everyone, TB backup only the apps nothing else,otherwise you can get the most weird errors
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I replaced /system/app/Launcher2.apk with the apk for launcher pro (from /data/app) renamed to Launcher2.apk. I copied Launcher2.apk to /data/app so it would still be available, but doing this made launcher pro the internal default launcher. it makes the internal launcher, memory-mangement speaking, into launcher pro.

I also deleted the launcher's files from the dalvik folder.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AntonioTrindade:
Screen does not lock

After upgrading to 2.1 I noticed I cannot lock the screen.

When I press the standby key, the screen turns off but it does not lock. Also the auto-lock does not work either...

Does anyone have the same issue?

If so, how do I fix it?

Other than this, the ROM is great.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] papabearrizal:
ele, can you check all the download link please.. all of them seems stuck in downloading on the 90% (84-85 MB) of the file, and it's not resume support.

sorry for the bad english
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Do a full wipe, then see if that fixes it.

For all do a full wipe when you got a problem first before reporting it... to see if that fixes it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cet90:
please make a video!! very tempting to see it!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] boxter7:
Maybe I'm blind :D but I can not find any theme chooser app :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
OK Titanium Backup is running now, I'll see what I can do with filming animation once it's complete (and assuming it doesn't introduce the reboots)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
just wiped dalvik/cache to see if that sorts the reboots.

edit: nope seems to be rebooting shortly after it mounts the SD card...possibly an apps2sd problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tfn:
Eleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... you are bo Brilliant!!!!!!

Ok I have the screen of animation ( like you get when you off your tv)

theme choose is an app at the bottom of the apps guys

Angry Birds for the first time is so working brilliant for me ( may be cause first time i clock my hero to 691)

Everthing looks super.. I have decided that which ever android I go for I will haunt Elelinux to make a custom Rom for It :D

PLEASE!! ANyone can you give me nice overclock widget settings for me I am A NOOB with overclock

I have it set for

screen on min - 264 and Max - 691

screen off min - 245 and Max - 384

diff freq screen off is checked

use your freq is checked

Is this a good config ,, I am a noob in this and don't know the battery life yet but all help is appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
You should have 3 themes in theme chooser,try to reflash the rom but do not forget to wipe dalvik cache first
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
So if I install and use the apk SetCPU to OC, and leave the settings in Cyanogen as they are (default) the phone will be clocked accordingly to the SetCPU apk?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes that´s right
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
ty .. One more thing... The screen-off and screen-on animations should work? I tried to untick them and tick them back, reboot but with no success. Some say they work, some say they don't. What's the truth?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Arrghh, boot loop now, it starts the launcher, checks sd, and the restarts :-(

what log should I post?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
sounds like the problem i had.

I am installing v0.2 atm, then going to upgrade to v0.3 without wipe (just caches) and see what happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] boxter7:
Thx Elelinux, I managed to flash it to fix it.

I have a one more question! :) Whay livewallpaper dont work? Always returns to normal wall!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
live wallpapers are cr*p on the hero. dont even hope to get them working...then you wont be dissapointed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeepie_nl:
Keyboard issue (dictionary not recognized)

Thanks Elelinux for this great rom. Despite the fact this is a beta version it performs very good!

I have an issue while using the keyboard, it doesn't use the dictionary (i set it to dutch) but it only shows the names of my contacts, not the actually words from the dictionary. I looked at all my settings (voice search is working just fine when I speak dutch words...) and it should be fine but it just doesn't show any words. This is really annoying for me, so do you (or anyone who recognizes the problem) have a working solution for this?

Thanks,

Jaap.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I tried again, a clean install no problem, install from v0.2 to v0.3 with a wipe of Dalvik cache and wipe the cache no problem.

Possibly try to download the file if there was something wrong and make sure to do a safe removal of the sd-card after you have transferred the file
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
All dictionaries are not embedded in the system yet,but have checked under/android keyboard/input languages/ if your language is available there and you will even see which language who has dictionaries
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] revers59:
In neocore I don't see all graphics. v0.2 & v0.3 same problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeepie_nl:
Well I already checked my language (dutch) in android keyboard / input languages but that doesn't work. But I installed this gingerbread keyboard and now everything works fine again :-)

Jaap.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Oh good you found a solution so quickly :D, I compiled the rom last night from cyanogenmods source and everything is not quite finished yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Neocore's last update was on May 24, 2010 Update Version 1.9.22 (so no support for Gingerbread) ... Quadrant had the same problem untill their Recent Update for Gingerbread support -> Update version 1.1.7
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Can't we add something to the install script which invalidates the dalvik-cache or something? These (totally random) problems occur too much I'm afraid
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GertAage:
Hey Dkelley

I can find the launcher2.apk in system, but there is nothing in the data file??????

In fact i cant find the launcherpro.apk anywhere.

I´m using File Manager..

More help would be appreciated :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes your right,maybe start to use installer.script instead for the options much easier to build script for dalvik cache there
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Actually from my experience the dalvik-cache invalidation works very well on android. It checks the timestamps of the files or something and rebuilds the necessary files.

I constantly change apks by just pushing them with adb or through recovery in quite a variety of combinations and have never seen any need to clear the dalvik-cache as android would always automatically detect the change files and rebuild the appropriate files in the dalvik-cache.

I am not sure what problem you believe is solved by clearing the dalvik cache but I highly doubt this is the case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
launcher pro will likely be something like com.fede.launcher... something or other... .apk.

I know the com.fede part is right :-)

it'll be in /data/app and you need to copy it into /system/app, rename the original Launcher2.apk to something (like Launcher2.apkOff or just move it out of there completely if you're gutsy...), and then rename the com.fede... one to Launcher2.apk in /system/app

like I said thought it's wise to copy or move the original Launcher2.apk into /data/app also since if you screw anything up you will end up without any launchers working and you'll have much more challenging work ahead.

[B]F A I L[/B]

Flashed the on Thursday with a full wipe and i really have to say, that the it ran like a beast..

^^ till now..

just turned on gps and tried to fix satelites with gps-status.. after pressing home i become a black screen (the first one since flashing this rom) an the phone hung up :S after rebooting all my widgets were gone too..!? strange behavior..

tried to reaply the crash within success.. after apply the gps it takes up to 30secs till the phone f*** up :S only difference my widgets are still on the homescreen..

apart from that, this is a beast of ROM !! You did really a unexampled job Ele !!

i´m sure this is the last rom i flash on my hero.. i hope my preorderd samsung galaxy sII arrives next week ;)

best regards

In call menu

Hi!!

Very nice ROM very very smooth and FAST.. my AB works v. good.. :) Thanks..

I have only one issue, How to remove Phone in call menu. It is really problematic. Please Help...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tobens:
why do you want to remove the menu? ..because of tabbing (if this is a english word) accidentally ??!

^in this case i suggest you the app "proximity sensor" from the market. this automatically brings up a black screen if you accept a call, so you can´t touch any buttons on the screen..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
Hi!!

Thanks for quick reply.

One-of-my older ROM I had this same issue and the solution was another "Phone.apk" but that was different version of Android. so couldn't use the same. Would appreciate id slimier solution is there.

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Elelinux can u please provide a flashable zip that contains a compatible Phone.apk that was included in previous versions of the rom in which we were able to disable the Touch-UI ? Ty in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Sure, it took a long time before anyone discovered it, in fact, I removed the feature and chose to have it by default just because all PM "how do you get dialer look like blabla" was just so damn tired of the questions about how to get interface with In-call touch UI.

But now I've uploaded it and you find it under options. :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bigeras187:
hero graphics

hi

this may be a silly question and could have been asked many times before so sorry for asking again:-

have you included "opengl es 1.1 in your excellent roms?????????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes opengl es 1.1 is included
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
And OpenSLES?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beano_2008:
Weird this one for sure...

I have tried everything you have suggested and the problem is still here..

Now if i flash 1.9 - no problems..

I have even started using Cyanogenmod7-nightly hero, dated 24.4.11 and this version gives me access to the usb?

I really prefer your rom but need the usb transfer to work Elelinux. *-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No, it is alsa if I remember correctly
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes weird,any logcat ? it works for everyone else including myself,have you even tried my tip to clean the system on my first post in this thread ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
Where's the modified status bar?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It's removed,to much work with all options update them and so on.,when we come to the final then I add some more options
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
in the previous release of this rom I had a random crash within a game I was playing (something like monopoly). The phone froze and I had to pull battery to get it to restart (although now I know about the 3 finger reset..). upon booting up all of my widgets were broken too that time.

So no matter what the cause of the crash, if the phone freezes it seems that sometimes you lose all your widgets. Any way to avoid this?

I think he knows about potential and very serious GPS issues still. There's always been something with hero gb roms where the gps can completely break the rom if the screen goes off during use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Know that there some problems with the GPS when it is screenoff,working on a solution.

Something to think about then, there are ways to prevente apps from frozen etc.. go to /menu/system/cyanogemod settings/preformance/ and tick Lock home in memory.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Wrong thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beano_2008:
Elelinux,

I wiped the whole of the sd card and formatted it fat32.

I then wiped the dalvik, the cache partition and even wiped data/factory reset. :(

I then rebooted the fone, and through the clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7, i "install zip from sdcard" after first transfering the zip via the Clockworkmod menu.

The image installed :)

I then connect my usb lead, fone sees the connection and when i pull down the screen and select "usb connected - select to copy files to/from pc

--> Then instead of getting the usb transfer screen - the fone just reverts to desktop?

How can i do a log to post for you?

Its weird how it works with earlier versions of your rom and even cyanogenmods, as in my earlier post...:confused:

i await your response

thanks m8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm well log easy with logcat (adb),by your description so your phone behaves like mine did before I found the solution for usb mount,one last thing please try Las_venturas-0.4.3 riemer's kernel because with that kernel my usb mount worked before I found another solution and you can easy revert to herokernel-12a, you find the option on the first post in this thread.

Las_Venturas >>>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765701

If possible, please post a log also
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
is it def 2.1 and not the 2.1 preview as that sounds like exactly the same behaviour as the 2.1 preview works fine in the 2.1 release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Just that thought, I thought also :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grea09:
Good job

Even if lots of people post here for isues (as I do) I want to congratulate this time. The ROM is just FIXED. Great job elelinux, it's like my Hero revive with the last update.

No famous bug, no reboot (or not as much) and I don't need to overclock to got speed no more.

Thanks a lot !

BTW no GPS Problem after first fix using GPS Status.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I only use my GPS in the car. Whenever I'm using GPS I always have the phone plugged into the car charger. I have usually checked Keep screen on while charging, or whatever it was called. But I can't seem to find that option anymore. This would prevent the GPS screen off issues. Anyone know where that option is?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] D3_:
Settings > Applications > Development > Stay awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes, I do that too. only time I've run into issues in past gb roms is when I unplugged the charger and pocketed the phone to go grab money from a bank machine en-route or similar, leaving gps running on phone. return to car, plunk it into suction-cup phone holder, and phone's locked up or otherwise dying. so yea, your workaround does work sufficiently as long as we keep that bug in mind and kill gps app before unplugging phone from charger!

and yes, the feature's still there where noted by the other person who responded.

:-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beano_2008:
Elelinux,

Thanks for your prompt response m8

I tried Las Venturas as the kernal and my usb transfer is working again?

What is so different with this kernal over herokernal-12a?

With further releases of your rom, will i be able to use your newer roms in their entirety..

thanks m8:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
So is there a compelling reason to flash the Las Venturas kernel as opposed to the kernel it comes with? Is it faster, better battery life, increases virility? I'm currently not having issues (well, maybe the virility thing.....but that's another issue) but if it is worth it I'll flash Las Venturas.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
:)

Thanks EleLinux.

Now my phone is complete.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Just a curious question, what ROM do you flashed,your phone behaves as the sneakpeak version I posted,please read the changelog in your phone and see the build date,you will found it in cm settings/system.

Edit: And the build date should be 20110502.195416 in v2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iamdos:
just flashed V2.1

can't send out the msg (SMS) but can receive...how to solve

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

nobody reply so solved it by myself already :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Learning by doing :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
Just flashed this latest version and so far it's running great. I do have a few things to point out though. A couple of things might be bugs, or maybe are like that by design, I don't know.

On a first boot (rebooting the phone for instance), the screen is way too bright. Turning the screen off and back on, restores the brightness to a more appropriate level. This is with “Automatic brightness” enabled. Can this be improved?

With both “USB debugging” and “USB debugging notify” enable, the little bug icon should be displayed in the status bar all the time, but it doesn’t. I have seen this behavior with every Gingerbread ROM I've tried. Something wrong with Gingerbread itself or some incompatibility with our Heros? Can this be solved?

While in the Lock screen, the carrier name is followed by the PIPE symbol (|). It’s a little strange that’s all. Can it be removed though?

I've noticed that the boot screen is now handled differently as I've tried to flash the Legend boot screen (from your other ROM, the Eclair Sense one) and it didn't work. Any way to get this boot screen on this ROM?

Would love to hear your input on the points above Elelinux...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
1: Ok, know possibly what it is,fix to next release

2: It's in the kernel,shall try to fix to next release

3: There was an issue before, can not remember if you could somehow througt cm settings change that

4: No,only if you can manage to rebuild the boot animation by your self
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucky Thirteen:
What kind of ext partition is recommended for the SD card? I am due to reorganise my things with GParted so I am curious to know.

Thanks Ele for the hard work you are doing for us, Hero users.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Best stick with ext2 as there's no journaling so your card's life is preserved, you won't gain much speed by using ext3 or ext4 just ensure you use the readahead buffer tweak
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucky Thirteen:
Thanks a lot swatsbiz for that prompt reply. I will do accordingly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petemt:
Another great ROM thank you very much Elelinux!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nickh07:
Firstly thanks for a great Rom, nice and painless upgrade for a noob like me, much appreciated.

No doubt this question has been asked and answered countless times before, so apologies, but, with regards to overclocking my Hero, using Elelinux, what are the best settings I should use, and what sort of speeds should I expect? I've used Quadrant to benchmark my Hero (GSM) and got '322' as a result, then changed the governor to 'Smartass', the min cpu freq to 176 and the max to 652, I re-ran the benchmark and got '358', so an approvment, but can I get more out of my little friend?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nickh07:
Also, I'm struggling to get flash installed, one of the reasons I decided to root to 2.3. It's a GSM Hero on Three mobile. Whenever I try to install it, I get re-directed to Adobes site, where I'm told it's not available for my OS.

Any pointers guys?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
There is no version of Flash that is compatible with the processor in the Hero. The only way to get any type of Flash experience is to use a Sense based ROM that comes with FlashLite.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
A little surprise on Monday evening, the rom is updated,please read changelog before installation. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
thanks ele, made my monday a whole lot better :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
Going to download this right now :D. The previous version is still running great though.

offtopic:

Tell me about it, I got 120k hits from them combined with another chinese in just 3 days. (Not causing any problems so far)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It is sad to have to shut it down, but they are so many over there and my server can not do it unfortunately. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
How is battery and stability with lv kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Thanks Elelinux for this update ... gonna give Las Venturas 0.4.3 a try for a few days with a battery format... I've tried 0.4.1 when it was launched and it was hungry as hell.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Can't use this new one without usb tether but interested to hear how people find it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
indeed usb tether from rom doesn"t work but you can change from las venturas kernel to herokernel

elelinux added it in options
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Can anyone tell me, how to change when the led should change from red to green while charging? - I think it's a bit early to indicate that the battery is full at 90 %..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tierra:
Battery is not so good. I had it charged to 90% and within 45 minutes it dropped to 77%. Most of that time the screen was off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rner:
It is good,if used wisely (that is, no battery-soaking apps, etc)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Now in version 2.2, I decided to give Riemer kernel a chance,I think you should try it a few days before you judge it and my personal experience on battery life might drag a bit more but hardly noticeable.

For those who must have usbtether function, switch to HeroKernel-12a you will found it on the first post.

Would again like to thank Riemer for his dedicated work with Las_Venturas, this kernel will be a winner in the end, think that ,more we are to test-run the kernel easier it becomes to fix the last remaining.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djfatrod:
I can confirm battery is draining fast, my Battery is at 67% after < 4 hours.

Previous version was much better.

Very little usage in that time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Can someone tell me what the in-call UI look like? Is it the standard phone in-call with picture and the bottom row is Bluetooth Speaker etc?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tierra:
Hmmm, I just tried Herokernel 12a and I got the same results, so the kernel is not the problem. It could be gingerbread or it could be that I have to recalibrate the battery, how do I do that?

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
thats what I experienced in V2.1 already using both kernels.

Sometimes Android OS and Android System prevent the phone from falling into Deep Sleep.

I checked it using CPUspy.

Will see how it is in 2.2 :)

btw: I flashed it twice using the full wipe strategy ele described.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stantang:
I agree with you, my phone's WIFI never went to sleep even I turn on "When screen turns off" with v2.1. Will see how it goes with 2.2
