Can you put the keyboard with phone keyboard option?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Try this and save the great man his time:-). You can also now customise the keyboard if you search the forum for HTC IME mod :-)

Have added Htc ime as a option,to activate longpress on textfield choose indatametod/htc ime
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] boxter7:
I know, just will not show up keyboard, do not know why. Do you have maybe a link from htc ime mod that works on your version?

Downloaded v0,7 booted and apart from a fc at starting the first time no problems found yet. This rom feels faster, Quadrant score is 365 insteat of 335 for v0.6. Lockscreen reacts better. Gps not yet tested. Good work Elelinux THanks!!:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
Is it just me or is the in-call screen the same as froyo on v0.7?

Im about to give this ROM a spin :D

Whats HTC IME for? and do i need any of the fonts to boot it up? or those flash zips are only for changing the fonts?

First of all thank you for this update.

Problems I still have:

Apps from the market sometimes won't install on the first attempt (Unknown reason -18) and

widgets still don't work :(

but aside from that great ;)

Cronos Kernel working great

Now running your build 7 and I flashed the Cronos Kernel next to it, And I must say I love it.

Why I am not using your Herokernel, well it is mostly based on Fly and Fly does not like my mobile network for some reason :P

sooo :P

But it works great.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
Is the batt live better on this kernel? I read a lot of good batt stories at cronos forum
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well before this one I had Cronos GB 1.1 PE, and friday the batt was at 42% and when I got my phone this evening it was 38% so, that is pretty nice

Sync was on, mobile network was on, and wifi at the daytime, My wifi network turns off at night. Not the wifi of the phone, been on all the time.

So if that is going to be on this rom, would be nice, but got no idea :P

And I didnt use my phone all that time btw.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
That really sounds good, pls keep us informed!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Then you have answered your own question, if you are regularly wiping and flashing new roms then of course the original keyboard is going to pop up when you reboot, what did you expect?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Ummm....did you happen to notice that you quoted two different people? The OP never said he was regularly wiping and flashing new roms. I said that in response to your post. So he didn't answer his own question at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Ha, no I clearly didnt. Umm, why you answering questions meant for other people?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:

no USB-Debugging

I'm not sure if i'm the only one who has this problem but i can't get usb debugging to run.

any solutions for this problem? i need usb-debugging because i'm currently developing a android app and only with the emulator i can't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
tried ddms without debug nothing happened, then ticked back debug and i can screenshot so debug mode works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
This rom is really great, very nice options to adjust it to own needs but allready very nice from the beginning! Flashed it yesterday and until now working very well, don't know yet about battery life but will let you know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
If your relying on the notifiation Icon, you can rely a long time :P it is a known bug in GB that it doesnt show, for me ADB works fine, and the icon is not there, just make sure that USB debugging is turned on in the options

I feel folowed :P

For me it doesnt work, But people need to realize it will never work 100% the Hero is not made for that. And it slows down my phone like mad anyway,

But for me it doesnt work.

Out of the box? No Cyanogen havent included this into there options so it is not yet possible.

You can try to create your own circulair battery mod.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I've used a dozen of 2.3 roms over the last couple of weeks and this attempt at a good 2.3 rom (v0.7) for the Hero is the first time it has become "reasonably" responsive with Launcherpro and in general. I could now for the first time start recommending it for daily use for anyone.

ELELINUX KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
I am coming from FroydVillain 1.7.2 which is a pretty good Froyo release. Now I have tried v0.6 and v0.7 and I will stick for daily use to this ROM, I am absolutely satisfied! It is fast and as far as i can judge also battery consumption is good and at least for me everything works.

But I am little bit wondering, why I now have much more free space compared to Froyo. With FV-1.7 I have roughly 40MB free space, and now with E-7-0.7 roughly 90MB, I have more or less exactly the same apps installed.

Thanks elelinux!

Anyone else missing a couple of things from the Market? Tried market enabler.

EG not able to find Car Home, and will not install from the cyanogen "market apps installer"

worked with another GB rom from the 'unpopular' person.

Yes, I am also missing Car Home and do not find it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ipuljiz:
Just upgraded from 0.6 to 0.7. And I'm missing an option.

In 0.6 during call on screen I had options (mute, speaker, dialpad....), now in 0.7 there is only press menu for options. Is there a way to switch or ........:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
This is because you haven't build up so much data. You can see what I mean in Settings > Applications > Manage applications, and choose a random app.

You have a list like this:

App. name

Version-number

Two buttons

Storage

Total

Application

Data

I am testing and playing and overall I am happy but I am sorry to say that there still is a problem with gps,

when I use run-gps it works but when I turn the program off it fc-ed, The program works ok but on close the problem still exist.. It looks like GB and GPS isn't a good combination... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jameskent:
anyone got any ideas? Or any previous experience with this game?

Regards,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pclaci:
The 0.6 version I tried, and a program called the MX MOTO very slowly (1-2 fps).

I returned to the Version 6.2.0. Now the same program run entirely smoothly.

6.2.0: 27 fps neocore

0.6: neocore 57 fps ...

Conclusion: neocore not relevant to the game's speed.

I ask that this change is the 0.7 version?

:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoff_allix:
Getting similar GPS problems as 0.6. Seemed OK at first, although it was jumpy, but after 5 minutes it lost the signal. In GPS Status the signal gets dropped about every 30 seconds and then it reconnects.

Apart from this, the ROM is fantastic.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] codnik:
It's not irrelevant. It has been said a bunch of times now that neocore has not been updated for GB and, for this reason, results cannot be trusted at this time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Again my Question:

What is the reason for the difference between elelinux standard settings:

576-352-Smartass

and cyanogenmods cpu settings after full wipe and reinstallation:

576-264-Ondemand ?

What is the real default for this ROM after FullWipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
running v0.7 now. As usual its silky smooth. had no issues with it yet.

The screen off animation is a little less laggy than v0.6 I think, but still not quite perfect. I have it switched off but for those that would like to know before flashing, now you do.

thanks for your hard work ele. keep it up :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
does it matter what the default is? just choose what suits you best dude. the smartass govener functions slightly differently to ondemand thats all. Apparently it improves performance a bit, but i feel that it reduces battery life slightly because of this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattyguk:
Sorry to post a relatively minor issue, but it's bugging me, and goes to show how good the rom must be if the issues are this small

Sent from my Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
Don't know why in some applications the displayed images look low-quality? Like a true-color image displayed on a 256-color screen...splash screen of XDA application is a typical example. I enabled the image quality improvement option in CyanogenMod performance settings & rebooted, the images appear smoother but color depth still low. Any clue?

Edit: Froyo ROM's don't have this problem, eg 6.2.0 RC0 Speedmachine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
ok, this may sound stupid,, but where do I upload MP3 files to, for them to be used as ringtones or notifications ? I have tried to upload them onto the DS card, in a media folder, but the rom would not recognise them.... can someone pls advise ??

Thanks

Ian
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
As far as I know it doesnt matter where you save the files, they should just automatically appear in the ringtone list.

can you play the file in any other media player?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Performance > check the box after 'Enable surface dithering' and reboot.

:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
I just want to check if the cyanogenmod cpu settings working properly, because the default setting differs from elelinux indicated settings. That's all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Car Home is added as a option for thoose how want it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
/system/media/audio is default location of ringtones etc. Think that's correct
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I have compiled the kernel with 352/576 MHz and smartass, but cyanogenmods recovery do it so, nothing to worry, was supposed to change that but have not prioritized the issue right now.

And real default at the moment is 264/576 ondemand.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
For those of you who want custom ringtones, etc., make a directory structure on the sd-card.

media/audio/alarms

................./notifications

................./ringtones

................./ui for low battery,camera click etc...

this way shall directory structure look like on your sd-card
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
elelinux i hate you, you know :D

i always forget you changed the first ringtone to no sound
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
I literally saw my battery life draining by percentages every 15 seconds with screen on so I flashed Cronos kernel and so far it's been amazing. I don't know, usually Elelinux's kernel has really really good battery life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farhadix:
I tested GPS and It worked for at least 30 min very nice, after that I turned it off (for saving battery :D )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Nice,did the arabic font work ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
Hello! I seem to have a problem, I can't install apps because there's no space. The problem is only my ext partition is maxed out, I have about 25% free on system and about 75% free on data. This occurs even after I set the install location to internal in CM settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zulu1:
Ok I found out why widgets didn't work :)

They have to be on the phone!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] billy26:
i seem to be having the same issues with my battery life, any chance of posting the link for the cronos kernel, would appreciate it alot.. :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
what was your max freq.? Im running the default settings (576 smartass) with no problems whatsoever
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] feltraveller:
Same here for me - 0.7 is fast, no question, but battery use is intense.

Something changed between 0.6 and 0.7? CPU set 576/245 smartass.

Seems like it runs really well right after rebuild of Dalvik and then, slowly, slows down.

Still can't believe my old hero is running GB, awesome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
My phone has been on battery 8h with 24mins of voice calls and has dropped to 86%. Thats not bad... although at the moment my data is switched off due to balls up by my network! still I dont think any other kernel would perform any better. im not sure why you other guys are suffering so bad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Standard freq I always use on every rom is 691/352.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I have 19/652 and smartass, and has fantastic battery life :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 87Vortex87:
Is it still in beta?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timqqq:
updated but screen-off animation does not work ,

i ticked bot screen-on and screen-off animation in the cyanogenmod settings , how should i do?

Besides , i wanna ask about the graphics , the neocore run so fast because of some frame cannot be output right? I hope that the ROM can be powerful and do well!

BTW , Nice work Elelinux! I am keep using elelinux since i use Hero ! keep going!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I think you have to enable 180 degree rotation. Then reboot. Then enable screen on and off animations and all animation in one of the other menus.

That (or some permutation) of that worked for me. I then turned off 180 deg rotation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
I can confirm battery drain.

Charged my phone yesterday evening till about 8 pm i plugged it off at 100%.

This morning it has still 97% left (wifi, mobile data on over night)

Over the day i used tweetdeck, feedreader and some german news apps like n-tv or tagesschau.

At lunch time my phone has still 65% left without using battery wasting stuff like navigation or music.

This afternoon i used Google navigation for about 30-60 minutes and sometimes use the apps mentioned above again, my battery level got below 15% and i plugged my phone again.

To my mind battery life is worse than in 0.6, but don't know why, same settings in cpu etc.

BTW. GPS works better now, but when i toggle it off with the cyanogen mod buttons in notification bar, while google maps is running the gps icon stays in the notification bar. If I disable it in settings->Location..., the icon diappears.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] feltraveller:
I'll try those settings. Thanks

:p UPDATE: yes, that really changes things, the phone sips now instead of slurping... thanks ele.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Hi Ele, why do you think is there still quite a speed difference between cm6.2 rc0 and any cm7 and/or 2.3 AOSP based rom around? Are there still fundamental problems or tweaks missing or is it just that 2.3 is heavier on our Hero's due to some extensions from 2.2 to 2.3?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Im not sure thats true really. After seeing the title 'speedmachine' for 6.2 and hearing some peoples comments regarding the speed and smoothness of Froyo I decided to go back and try 6.2 and cronos 1.8.0. I personally found both Froyo ROMS to be not as smooth as this GB ROM. For example, just try scrolling through your apps list (in Zeam) in this ROM then do the same in one of the other Froyo ROMS and im sure youll notice its smoother (without any stuttering) in this ROM.

I dont care too much for benchmarks so im not sure how GB ROMs compare to Froyo in that sense. and Im not too fussed about 'speed' i.e. time it takes to load apps. but i am interested in how smooth everything works and in that sence im convinced this GB ROM is the best ROM available for the Hero at this time.

p.s. I havent tried using GPS yet so I cant comment on its stability, though Ive some people having a few difficulties with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I wanted to go back to 6.2.0 RC0 to try again because in my memory it was much smoother, but the download link was down so couldn't try it. Will do that when it's back up ;)

Market problem

Hi I have a problem, when I start the market it start to read in, but when the page is displayed it close down is someone else who encounters this problem. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
i had a similar problem. it turned out to be because of something i restored with titanium backup. i ended up having to be very selective with what i restored. i never actually worked out what exactly was causing the issue
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
can't wait :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jagpilotcv:
hi there,

so did u finally reach a solution coz, i too restored my apps and data using titanium backup and now market wont launch:-(........

pls help what to do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
yeah like I said, I had to be very selective with what I restored. Basically its something to do with the google account settings that it restores. Anyway, now that you have restored everything all you have to do is go into recovery and do a factory reset. that will reset your google account info. then when you try and run market it will ask you to sign in again.

when you sign in with your account info everything should work again. just remember when you do a tit back restore in the future only restore app data and not ALL system data, unless you can find exactly which thing is causing the problem

I hope this helps. it worked for me anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dont know:
Thanks for GB-ROM for hero

seems to be better in details than 2.2

big issue with gps:

I do loose gps - with goolge-navi and with iGo - but the (new) symbol in notification bar is NOT blinking (GPS locked while software complains about GPS not locked?).

IGo looses signal -> an incoming call ("you are late") while searching gps -> foreced reboot of phone while speaking -> google-navi - gps siganl lost after 2 Min -> no idea where to drive -> recovery to ele6.0 -> maps -> very late at meeting

Is anybody using Exchange with the Email application? I have my work emails going to my phone using the email client on Push and it works fine for the first few hours. After that however manual refreshes and push completely stop working until I reboot the phone and everything works fine again.

I know other people with CM7 RC on a Nexus One on the same server that don't have the problem, so I'm wondering if it is specific to the Hero. Does anybody else use Exchange with the default Email app and does anybody notice the same behaviour?

Did you use that on the Magic comparing to the HTC Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Yes. My friend has hTC Magic with ginger-yoshi rc4 and it's reeeaaly fast, and animations are smooth like on eclair/froyo roms for hero.

Was literally just flashing version 0.7 (coming from Cronos), and came into this thread whilst it was in the process of being flashed! I guess I'll just wipe, and transfer this new rom using USB-MS toggle :D.

Great work mate, really appreciated by all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mohsin...:
I use Exchange, yes, and even though I was on Cronos, I had started not to receive e-mails these past few days. GMail was working fine, just Exchange not working on push.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
There were similar problems in the beginning with Froyo if I do not remember totally wrong, it will probably be resolved fairly quickly because it is an annoying bug
