All apps are gone over night

Last night my hero somehow got crazy... Here is what happened:

While going to bed i saw that wifi connection is down. Hmm, ok, that happens from time to time so i switched it off and on again like i usually do. But no internet connection came up. Strange: neither 3G came up. But i was too tired.

In the morning i had to type in my PIN, so hero rebooted. But here is what happens: all my apps are gone! I had a look - /data/ is completely empty. When i go to setting/applications all my apps are still listed but with a grey sdcard symbol and when i click on of them i get a FC.

I wipes caches, but with no effect.

For the record: I'm using Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v3.4, flykernel-13, 176MHz/691MHz@smartassv2

Does somebody has an idea? what can i do? :confused:

Thanks in advance! Bye, Marc.

P.S.: This happened once before a week or two ago. But after reboot everything was normal, so i payed not that much attention to it. But today i booted like 100 times... : (
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
i'd say have a check of your sd-card. if you can plug it directly into your computer (rather than using the phones usb) you can see if it's been corrupted. obviously if you are on windos you'll need drivers or some software to see and read ext2-3-4

this only really applies if you are using the a2sd that comes with this (or other cm) rom, if you don't have an ext partition for apps they will be on the phones internal memory. hopefully, but that could mean that is corrupted.

another option is that something has altered your phones mounting options and the sd-ext partition isn't getting mounted to /data like it should do for the a2sd trick.

someone with more experience can probably give you a better answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Well I am a 2.1 fan girl and well I ran 2.3 a lot as well but all the times 2.3 slowed down after 3 to 5 days and then I had to rewipe and reflash again. and well I had enough of that. so now I am on a 2.1 rom and never had any problems so far. runs fast, great battery life.

Also keep in mind 2.3 is more heavy on the hero then any other version. so yea that can use some ram and make it slow.

Is it maybe some app you installed??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marchard:
Thanks for the replies...

I was also thinking about mounting issues. But to be honest, i don't know, where to look for that exactly...

I checked sdcard with ckfs without any issues. After all i flashed again and everything works again - except of two widgets, that are not any more on homescreen. But anyway. Couldn't find the reason for that and since it happened before i'm now afraid it could happen again... *hmpf*

Thanks, bye, Marc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
*crouching and hugging the corner of the room*

- Must...flash... some...thing, Elelinux will release something I'm sure!

Instant uploads Google+ app don't work

Hi,

In general this version is working fine but in my case the instant uploads of Google+ app just don't work, anybody with the same problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ahmararif:
Battery drain is too high in this version why i had installed Task killer as well without using battery drain is 2% in 20min

Comparison with Deck?

As a matter of interest, has anyone done a speed/feature comparison with the Deck ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276544 ?

It's intriguingly slimline, with the zip clocking in at just 59MB...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wayferer:
Doing this seems to have helped, it's still a bit flaky though but seems to be working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
anybody knows what's up with ele? haven't seen him for quite a while now... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
It's probably tired to play with the Hero, now that he has a Sensation.. LOL...joke :D :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I think he is going to release a new version when he finishes working on HTC.Elegance theme. I might be wrong. Maybe he is busy or something ... hope he comes back soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Henkjoost:
Some one know how to calibrate screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
I think the reason for the speed in the ROM is that Surface dithering has been turned off by default. Try turning it off in Elelinux, you'll probably notice the difference.

Aside form that, I'm not a fan of the splash screen or the way the Dev simply renamed "CM settings" to "Advanced settings" and put an icon in its place that doesn't look right or fit properly. show CM some acknowledgement for their work, maaaaan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
You do know that Elelinux was/is the developer for CM right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
The Cyanogen mod team made CM? I don't/didn't know that Elelinux is part of that team, but Ele even thanks the team for the source. Anyway Ele didn't make the ROM I was referring to. So what are you talking about?

And If you actually read my comment properly, you'd know that Elelinux didn't rename "CM Settings" in his ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
Woops, I misread your comment :( Didnt realize you were referring to the other rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
hmmm i just ported the rom over from the cdma forums,it wasnt my idea to change the cm settings to advanced settings,if thats ur reason for not wanting to test the rom,i apologize if u feel offended but it aint my fault honestly..........and yes elelinux is the maintainer for the hero gsm from cyanogenmod team........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
Haha, no no I'm not blaming you at all, I remember you specifically stating you ported the ROM. (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tatapcku:
waze crashes

Hi,

First of all, thanks for providing the ROM, it is really nice and stable.

The only issue I have is with Waze application (navigation program with real-time traffic stats). It doesn't work well, resetting the phone after a minute-two of working. GPS seems working in general, so I'm not sure the problem is in GPS.

I know that this app is working well on other phones, and it also worked well on my Hero with a 2.1 ROM based on official version.

Is there anything I can do to try to solve the issue?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Hi all.

I was just thinking, how is possible to boost this old slow phone to maximum using this type of image.

I never flashed kernels, and was wondering, is some kernel faster than other? I know I load too much stuff into my phone, but I need thouse programs.

I mean, is this phone really so slow? Thouse 10 to 30 second lags before I can make call sometimes? These things happen too often.

CPU is set to 352 - 710, Smartass.

I also have made ext partition, and it seems to work.

But anyway, my phone is extreme slow sometimes. Any help to this?

Kernels can improve perfomance? If yes, which is fastest?

Maybe I need somekind of a patch?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CrazyDelta:
Do you have a lot of apps installed? Is it always slow and lagging even on a brand new clean install?

I finally made the jump to this Rom, and I have to say I have been very satisfied overall. And it really feels like giving new life to my phone.

Waiting with anticipation for Ele's next update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orrebo:
I want to say thanks elelinux for all the hard work you have done to keep the hero alive.

I have bought a Lg Optimus 2X now and want to say goodbye from this part of the forum.

My Hero will live on. A friend of mine will use it from now.

Thanks again ele.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Anyone has a link for a working Voice Search for the Hero ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
Have you installed the TTS libraries and all that jazz? I don't think it's included in the ROM, so download it from the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I have Loquendo TTS Susan installed but I don't think that has nothing to do with TTS as this is Voice Recognition software ... the thing is the Voice Search I've tried is not working as I've explained HERE
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
True, I was thinking about the TTS because of that new Iris app ;p.

Sorry man, I have no idea, mine seems to be working pretty well...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
np in the end I got the latest version and it works .

@Elelinux : it's been almost a month since the last time we heard from you ... Where are you ? What happened?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
I am also wondering what's up with elle, haven't heard any news from him lately :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CrazyDelta:
This is probably a battery calibration issue and not a rom issue, but I hope someone can give me some advise.

I always wipe battery stats when installing a new rom.

However I've noticed that my battery percentage acting weird since the install of Elelinux version 3.5. In the morning when phone is 100% charged, it drops rapidly by the time i get to work. I only use a bit in the morning like reading a few emails and twitter. It drops to 90%

Then throughout the day it keeps dropping and then stops for a long time at 54%.

Then begins to drop again. Once i had it dropped to 20%, and then I just reboot my phone, and the battery percentage was up to 50% something again without charging.

I downloaded the Battery Calibration app, and used that, but seems like it has not done the trick to fix this issue.

Would appreciate if anyone has any advise. Thanks.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
Haven't been here in a while since i sold my hero, thought i'd drop in and say hi.

I'm so sorry for your loss ele, can't imagine what you must feel like.

Family always comes first!

You've done so much for this community.

I have the biggest respect for you and once again, I'm so sorry to hear about your brother!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slimfady:
Deeply sorry for your loss, you should take your time and be around for your family, i'm sure that they need it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] benjaminv:
Really sorry to know about this Elle.:( Please take you time and do what you need to do first. We can always be waiting for your next release based on the stable version of CM7.1. But this is not important at all at this point.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AryanFL:
i'm sorry.god bless him...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
hey, i've been having problems with my 3g/2g it won't turn on at all, the check boxes in the system settings are checked and i'm not using any 3rd party apps to control it.

it just simply won't switch on, no statusbar icon or connectivity.

I've tried reflashing the kernel and the radio.

anybody else with a similar issue, or know how i can fix it? even random suggestions are welcome =P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:

Condolences Ele. Sorry to hear this terrible news. Take your time. Hug.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Oh my God... I'm so terribly sorry for your sudden and tragic loss.

I can truly sympathize because I'm going through a huge loss myself right now (my mum died unexpectedly at age 78 on Oct 14th) so I totally get that you can't be worrying about things like android roms for the time being.

If it becomes something of a therapy to you (as this has been for me over the past couple weeks) then just enjoy it, but don't rush on our behalf.

Best regards

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jcah73:

Thanks everyone I appreciate your support.

The rom is updated please read the changelog have added 2 new rom's
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
Wow, that was released quicker than anyone could expect! I'm downloading it now, thank you very much.

You've done so much work for the little Hero. Rest for as long as you need to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Wow, I'm speechless, Ele...after all you've been suffering, you still managed to present us with your pearls...I can't thank you enough!

I'm downloading know!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
A warm welcome back, Ele :)

And we will surely miss you again when you go for your break (you deserve one).

Thanks for all the great work.

Take good care :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
Everything restored now, zips flashed, adfree ect. feels noticeably quicker, still!

Great work :D

no blue/green lock screens so fair either (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Thank you Elelinux ... you always brought "the good stuff" to us. Enjoy the break ! We all gonna miss you during this time... see you when ICS sources get live.

ADW not built in

Just flashed the main 3.6 version. Probably my not understanding anything, but unlike 3.5 and earlier versions, this doesn't seem to have adw as the built-in launcher, so if you've got a nice layout all worked out, be prepared: it's gone!

I see that the stable version has adw, so if you need that launcher, that's the version to go for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Really thank you Ele for all your efford and hard work that you have put into it. I really appreciate it. Your roms are the best my Hero had ever run.

Take all the time you need.

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
Wow! Thanks for all the hard work you've done for us Ele. You'll always be our #1 favorite ROM developer!!! Now go get some rest, you've earned it tenfold!

CM Notification Power Widget issues

Is it possible to create a flashable .zip for the notification power widget from the 3.5 ROM? This one is giving me little trouble: the buttons for brightness and volume control stop working(or at least the icons stop changing) after a few taps.

Let me know if any of you guys have come across this problem.

Many thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I have the same problem with notification power widget ... elelinux can u make a fix pls?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Will look at it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
sometimes my notification power icons don't change either, seems to just be a refresh thing, as closing the status bar and dragging it down again seems to make them all ok again. i had this on 3.5 too.

--

i haven't been able to connect to my 3G, i had the issue in 3.5 too and thought it might be fixed, alas, no joy. it says; Mobile network state, Disconnected.

i have tried re-entering the gprs/gsm settings from my network provider as a new APN, re-flashed flykernel13 and updated to the latest radio (63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03) and unchecked the use 2G only option

the last time it worked was using your speedmachine rom, since switching over to 3.5 and 3.6 i've had nothing.

any thoughts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Normally, the problem is with your supplier but try this.

Go to the phone application and type

*#*#4636#*#*

then press phone information and scroll down and then you see, set preferred network and choose gsm only
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added a option for powerwidget from v3.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
good thing that adw (as included in previous versions) is a free download from the market :-)

And a huge thank you to ele for this hard work. I hope it was rewarding. Again, my sympathies in this crazy time of your life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pitel:
Power widgets

Thge widgets are okay, you just have to go cyanogen settings and configure them again. No need to flash anything!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
I've tried that to no avail. I'ma flash the option shortly.

Thank you very much Ele!

Update: Aww, it didn't work :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
same here :

1. I've tried removing them and then put them back in ... didn't work... tried to change their order... didn't work.

2. Removed all of them, flashed the powerwidget from v3.5, added them and still no luck. Bluetooth, mobiledata, wifi works ... but sound widget is not working... it's like i'm pressing on the wallpaper / empty spot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pitel:
Well, just got on the screen where you can turn them on/off. Scroll all the way down, and there is section "Button modes". And that's what you want to re-set again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
OMFG that worked ... they were just unchecked :D ... thank you so much!

those settings for Brightness and Sound are in Settings-> CyanogenMod settings-> Interface-> Notification power widget-> Widget buttons and look waaaay down :D

@Elelinux : can you add this fix to the OP or change the patch again, just in case Pitel's post will be "lost" when more posts are added to this thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Done and remowed v3.5 settings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Can not someone else make a suggestion on the first post in the thread, my English is not the best, and like a little cleanup of the wiki and add what is missing, please send a pm or email me. ele.linux@gmail.com
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I've sent you an email with "some" suggestions for OP cleanup and update.

MARKET killed

SOLVED------

Hi ALL,

I downloaded newer version of market application and i replaced that file with the vending.apk in system/app directory.

But after that I receive like "market application stopped unexpectedly, please try again"

I couldn't bring old market, I have no market now :))

How to do that_
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
thanks for the reply =) unfortunately no joy. i'll do a backup and flash speedmachine then probably call orange.

thanks for getting 3.6 out, especially considering.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Yes. I also experienced this but the problem was gone after a couple of boots.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Great rom but this morning I did a test run at the gym and I have the music stuttering issue. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm using 3cubed but have tried other players and they all do the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathanljs:
True, but it's good to save the space by having ADW alone rather than have stock launcher + ADW in one system. It's always a battle to keep things trim and slim! Not a big deal, though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
Pitel, you are a bro, thank you very much! x
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Elelinux, again, thanks for your excellent work! I'm a big fan and follower!

The sense theme you've putted on the custom build is yours HTC Elegance?

I've downloaded the V 3.6 light and have the HTC Elegance V 4.51 but I don't have the aspect of the "phone options" that you show in the last screenshot's image on the last changelog. I have those options but "black and white". How can I do it?

I know this must be a "girly" request but I'm a girl...:o:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] benjaminv:
to be honest, i dont like the ADW very much. too complicated some time causes stuck...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
Try "Custom" and then tell me :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
There are limitations in the Theme Manager unfortunately, if you want a rom with Sense Look then try the Custom build it's a light version with Sense look a perfect solution.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Now there are 4 builds. well 3 but I wonder.

What is the difference in speed from 3.6 and the stable one? Is the stable one 100% based on the stable one from CM and the 3.6 is more recent build with more speedy tweaks?

And I noticed there where some little mistakes in the sense theme from the screenshots :P USB connection thingy is off and doesnt look right on white. I can make an update zip for the people who want to have that look nicer. Just give a yell.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Thanks Ele! I like the sense look but I already have it with your magnificent HTC Elegance. I miss only the sense look of that last menu "phone options".

I'd rather have more speed and performance than good looks. I just want to council both..:p

What are the differences of speed and performance between the Custom build and the V3.6?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well the custom build is build for speed and preformance + sense look + light build, I use it my self in my hero.
