[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:
Hello there.

could someone explain me how to use the tip :

mount /system && rm -rf /system/* && umount /system

When I launch : adb devices

I have: HT97FL903380 recovery

When I launch : adb mount /system && rm -rf /system/* && umount /system

I have the same result as if I launched adb -help

What did I wrong ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
type adb shell first
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:
Ok thank you !

And must I do that before flash or just after ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
before you flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yan74s:
Is this OK ?

1) reboot in recovery

2) apply Tip

3) full wipe

4) flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
ty elelinux for this release... I hope the famous bug is gone :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
I did full wipe first then tip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Me to,but for safety's sake, I've posted patch does not affect the graphics, but should feel good, I've tried it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
fully wiped, reinstalling apps from titanium, so far so good
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
so what new features has cyanogen built into the final?

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
HTC sync seems to have been removed is this the case? If not without it it runs very quick what peons could be expected?

phonebook

this is the second post i've left here - hope the right place - about the phone book problems. got so bad went back to stock android 2.1 and your own 2.1 for my beloved hero

the problem with the phone book - since running Elelinux 7.0.0 series - is that after installing the above os and importing contacts from either the sim card or sd card everytime i go into the contacts to make a call the total gets larger - the total on the sim card/sd card is 91 but the last time i checked the contact total on the phone it was 3654 - running 2.1 it stayed at 91!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:

as you can imagine scrolling through that when contacts can take a time

please anybody HELP
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] medo159:
Just flashed the new version 1.9

I have strange problem, Clock doesn't show (am , pm) on status bar! I tried changing it to 24 Format the change it back to 12, but still no luck :(

has any one seen this issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] casonhistoriko:
I flashed 1.9 this evening with all the wipes.

At the begining all seemed all right, but some hours later, while installing swype keyboard, i got the black screen bug again...

I barely had the bug with former versions

Anybody else having still the bug?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruikaka16:
I flashed 1.9 with all the wipes,also have some problem.blackscreen meun and some app is blackscreen such as google maps.hope to the final version by Elelinux and restore to v1.8 now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bieniu:
After a few hours I also have blackscreens and invisible menus :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Those of you who may be the famous bug, try the patch on the first post.

This is crazy, we seem unable to put together a solid GingerBread to Hero, is making a last attempt, there may be a mix of my previous version to try to get a fast and stable GingerBread.

The hard part is that our phones do not have exactly the same hardware, will try to get it together this weekend and it will be my probably last rom with Gingerbread getting tired of that **** now.

We were delighted when we managed to boot GingerBread on our hero, but now with hindsight and many hours of frustration, do not know if it was worth it.

Now I know in all cases there are many different factors that play a role, after all hours of the test compilations, etc., it is difficult to get a soft and pleasant graphics without lag and invisible menus, know how I should compile to not get invisible menus but get it smooth at same time well that's the hard part.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I am going to sound stupid here, but even with the fix installed, this time and this rom and this version is the first version I have this bug with....

With Cronos 2.0.1 I do no longer have the bug, I had it in the 2.0.0 version. Since I know you and Feeyo dont get allong, maybe get all differences asside and see what he did or something.

But your choise.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bieniu:
With the patch installed I also have blackscreens and invisible menus. With animations disabled problems are less often.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I understand that some get the bug while I do not have it at the moment, will try to find a solution on how I will get it resolved
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
weird, for me it's totally different than that

it's the first time since last 3-4 releases that i can use my phone like i should
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
You just have to congratulate Feeyo if he solved it, I have no sensible solution for it now but has a crazy idea I shall try.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluenova:
Is any one else having problems with Google Navigation? For me it simply closes after loading for a few seconds, no FC message. I've tried clearing Maps cache with no joy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
Nice one, thanx!

Little bit weird with sending apps from drawer to homescreen(s), but it is fast and smooth. Uninstall and rename integrated! App folders! Cool.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
This is still beta, and everything does not work yet, including navigation, has just started with debugging in that area, hope it will work to next update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluenova:
For sure, I understand it's beta and mean't no disrespect but just wanted to air my findings as nobody had mentioned any issues with Nav.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] feltraveller:
Ok, thanks for that. Otherwise loving gb on hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shluggity:
Yup, when I updated to the latest SU binary (2.3.1 iirc) last night. I reflashed the ROM (no data wipe, just cache/dalvik-cache) and that reverted it to the previous version.

@Elelinux: this ROM is amazingly solid for a beta, so major props to you sir! No problems encountered while running it all day yesterday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
Dialer: http://www.appbrain.com/app/ray-dialer/org.t2k269.dialer#

Seems good so far :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
Hi Ele,

I must say this ROM is for beta very good.

I have a little problem i get a notification that gtalk authentication failed. how can I solve this annoying notification?

and second is it possible to implement wma support?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] red4:
@Elelinux

this rom has been amazingly gud for beta. not yet as fast as your 6.2:( but i know you'll get us there eventually

slight problem im having at the moment. superuser can't update (su binary). also handycalc doesnt seem to work which is a shame as i use it a lot (im a maths student:)), it installs fine and opens but wont answer any questions:mad:.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ayk33:
wow :) this works and seems like original sense dialer...thank you ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
navigation works like a charm... only thing i have to do everytime i change roms is to launch maps one time or navigation would always ask me to check if it's ok for my country
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Navigation is bugged. its not only this rom and the hero. Its on the Galaxy S to and the Nexus S.

What I always do if I want to navigate using it. Start up maps. make a route with maps and then trough that start Google maps navigation. Always works and I am happy :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ayk33:
i've been using for about 10 hours and used for internet(downloads and reading xda), my calls (about 25), messages (about 10) and now my battery is at 65%...i think this is cool :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
I haven't had any problems with any GB rom Navigation yet. Works perfectly for me including turn by turn navigation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
Superb Elelinux!!!!

I am a bit of a Elelinux fanboy, and your gingerbread rom is as good as a full release, works like a dream, didnt really want to upgrade from froyo to gingerbread but glad I have, used to use ele special rom 2.2.1, then rc6.2 now ele 7.0.0 gingerbread, well done fella
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farhadix:
All things looks like is Good. Tack

But Rom is a bit slow and widgets' graphic is low like Win98 with 256 colours :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
Elelinux i got finally put the livewalpaper runs on my hero.. but when the screen goes off the livewallpaper disapear. how can resolve this...??

the livewalpaper is 3D called anypet

guys can try??

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdNrmY3d7Hg[/YOUTUBE]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
3d wallpaper has always been unreliable on the hero. there have sometimes been hacks in the past to relaunch lwp on screen unlock or something like that but it's just not going to be very stable.

try to find non-3d lwps to use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Working on v 0.3, hopefully release tomorrow :D

Edit: It will be quite frequent updates at the beginning now :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Same for me it works perfect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Roz3buD:
YouTube

First of all, thx Ele, the rom is just fine ! :)

Strange thing though, the Youtube app doesn't show up in the launcher, although it appears on titanium and is "installed" on the market. Any idea ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OzOne666:
Thank you Elelinux for your hard work.

I had the black screen problem again but when i have rotate my phone the problem was solved... strange

I have that's issue after changing the governors from ONDEMAND to SMARTASS FYI

Thanks !!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fra31:
Go with file manager to system app fondo YouTube.apk and installa it than reboot phone and you have YouTube working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have a crazy idea, have not heard that HTC Sense 2.3.3 has this bug, borrowed gralloc packets from a sense rom together with my modified SurfaceFlinger.

Here try this >>> http://www4.zippyshare.com/v/28885575/file.html

Edit: For those of you who have the bug, would be good if I got feedback on this fix to see if it works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junguit:
I have have a swedish phone, probably same as you Elelinux.

I have the same CM settings and the patch installed but still I have the bug! Sigh... my phone must hate me. But I love this rom too much to change to another!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junguit:
Will try it right away! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jh71:
Installed it, and could recreate the bug right away.

(how do I recreate : I have Executive Assistant from the marketplace installed, then :

1st in Executive Assitant go into settings - configure tabs - EMail - Preferred eamil apps : I get a black screen, or I can not scroll

If above is good (usually everything works just after a reboot)

2 open a Youtube session and watch something in high quality

3 go back to step 1.

This works everytime to recreate the bug :mad: I would rather see it failing )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Out of this I can see as a stupid user that there is more to it then what we think is wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OzOne666:
I have try and i have the same bug.

But a little workaround it's to rotate your HTC from 90° et when it's in "landscape" i see the menu correctly...

Can you try?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jh71:
you are right, turning it 90° helps. Sometimes. And after a while the phone becomes completely unusable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bieniu:
Unfortunately, an hour after installation of the patch appeared invisible menus in Google Maps :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It is sad that this miserable bug haunts aosp 2.3.3 and not google doing anything about it, I personally have put so much time now so that I throw up on the ****.

I'll be back with another update when I or someone else find a solution that works.

To all of you who are big problems, switch to Froyo or Eclair so long, so you will not have to be as frustrated as I am in this mess,or maybe Feeyo's rom as rdejager says work without the bug shows up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Siauka:
I can't find market app in this rom, there's no such app. Tried to install it manually but no success. Any ideas? :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Siauka:
Sorry for double post ;D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Hmmz i flashed this rom, however when i try to use WiFi it freezes at verifying and then disconnects.

My router has WPA2.

It used to work before.

Any chance you know how i can solve this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] exssrerion:
Can I upgrate 1.7 to 1.9 directy without 1.8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] casonhistoriko:
Yes, I´m pretty sure that you can.

Nevermind, @Elelinux recommend a wipe of everything before flashing V 1.9...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Ok little update, I went on some testing and well I run 2 GB roms, Elelinux and Cronos GB.

With Elelinux this version I get the black menu bug, With the 1.8 I dont and with the 1.7 well very little. The 1.6 and before those got me no bugs.

With Cronos the 1.9.5 is the only version wich I had the famous bug in, In 2.0.0 people report it, and with 2.0.1 it is fixed. And I never ran the 2.0.0 before. and well this afternoon for testing i did. And I found out that the bug is the same as the 1.7 build from Elelinux so not much, But the 2.0.1 seems to have none for me, well launcherpro on GB is bugged so I am not talking about that.

If you people like me really want to run GB on your phone and want it to run stable and not crash on ya all the time, I would say for now go for Cronos.

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

I am not a fanboy, I am more for the coorparation of all parties, but I know I can only hope now....

I want to run a stable rom on my phone, and now Cronos GB is for me a flashjunky the most stable of all the GB roms.

Why I am not including CM7 in this, is easy.

Their final release for the hero is a *Rotten Apple*. And I am suprised that they call it stable, It is even less stable then the first Gingerbread build ever created for the hero....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
bit of an overreaction...

yeah its crap but nowhere near as bad as the first gingerbread ports.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
It was not an overreaction. It was a figure of speach. Before i call something stable. Well it is stable. And i know cm is all automated so the fault is in that. But some of those guys should have really checked it. But noone over there owns a hero anymore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
wrong, lox does and he's the one in charge of cm7 porting for our hero

seriously guys stop bs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Still, I am grateful for the work done by the CM team for our ageing Hero. It's from their continued effort that we are able to have nicer work from Ele and cronos.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
1 I don't think he is in "charge"

2 he hasn't updated anything for ages, making me think he quit deving for the hero

3 he doesn't own a Hero any more, someone else close to him does though. But I guess this makes deving a tad harder as well hehe ;)

Since the move from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 the CM nightlies went mad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] small_fish:
Hey Elelinux, this is one smooth working rom, thanks for the good work,,

but i can't open apps like Sygic mobile maps 10, navigon and Copilot: they keep on force closing when i try to launch them,, if u can only fix that, coz this is one sexy rom u made!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Hey, I searched this thread but didn't see anybody with the same issue as me.. I flashed the rom, then the Apps2SD no dalvik move, then delete default music player, and I booted up, signed into wifi, and google, and tried downloading titanium backup, and every time it gets to "installing" I'd get, what I would call a soft reboot... It would black out and go to the boot animation for like 5 seconds, and then back to the lockscreen, and would not install the app.

I reflashed without the apps2sd no dalvik move to see if that makes a difference, (so far it seems ok) but is there a reason I had this issue? Did I do the flash order wrong? Oh and I did come from a full wipe of everything before flashing too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
did you dalvik and cache wipe before the flashing of the non dalvik to sd patch?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holzfisch:
bluetooth headset

have a problem. When i finish the second call with a bluetooth headset, the elelinux rom crashes. has someone a solution.

greetings michael
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
I wiped before flashing all 3 but I didn't wipe after flashing the ROM zip itself.

Should I have flashed ROM, then Dalvik Wipe, THEN flash the no Dalvik move?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Did you reboot after flashing rom and before the options?

1. Wipe all

2. Flash rom

3. Reboot to system, enter pin

4. Reboot recovery

5. Wipe cache and dalvik

6. Flash options

7. Wipe cache and dalvik (I do not think it is required or has any additional effekt, but i do it anyway ;-) )

8. Reboot to system
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Thanks for that! I really wasn't sure when to flash the options lol.

On a side note... I was on my web browser browsing failblog (yeah I'm bored lol) and I went to save a pic, and I had the "invisible popup" issue where the screen dims but no popup. I hit the back button, tried again and I got the save image popup, I hadn't hit save yet, and my screen turned off and locked, now I can wake the screen but I cannot unlock it... it doesn't respond to my touching the screen and just locks again after a few seconds.. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
This is the famous gb 2.3.3 bug which has no working solution for all heros yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
lol bummer... was crazy cause I almost couldn't reboot either. I could get the reboot menu to pop up but had to poke the screen a million times for it to register my selection to reboot.

I've been on FroyDVillain for so long and was getting bored (and it got really slow for some reason). I needed to try something new and so far I like this apart from the wierd quirks it's quite useable and fast so far at least. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Got the invisible menu today, first time since v1.6, I flashed the fix and I've not experienced it since.

Lack of evidence does not mean it doesn't exist ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] miszi:
I got one today too. Most frustrating is letters not showing up, after rotating display 90 deg while sms writing or in web app. It's impossible to write after rotating. Only reboot helps - but only for a while..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marchard:
Perhaps it would be a good idea, in the meanwhile - just until bug is fixed, to provide a download link to the last known Elelinux-ROM without black screen bug (it's 1.6, right?) so everyone can choose between latest (unstable:() und last stable build.

What does the community think? What does Ele think? Anyone with a link to 1.6? (Unfortunately i jumped this release)

Bye, Marc.

P.S.: Oh, found one: Elelinux-7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.6.zip. Now the question is, if this is the last version without bug...

And another P.S.: Thanks Ele! And also everyone contributing! Please continue work on this! We all love this ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
if its still 2.3 and not 2.3.3 i suppose it will be, ummmm, sort of "bug free", as far as you can call 2.3 bugfree. in 1.7 (or 1.7.1?) the bug didn't occur to me, and its based on 2.3.3. strange.

whatever, what i REALLY wantet to ask ele: where has the modded status bar bg gone??? loved that one so much :( old one doesnt work anymore, if flashed statusbar will disappear.

greets, Summoner

To get OpenVPN to work I had to symlink /system/xbin to /system/xbin/bb
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
There is a solution but it is not the most ultimate,in v1.6 there it works are surfaceflinger and gralloc from my v1.0 which is 2.3.2, the disadvantage is if you take the files the rom will be laggy and not smooth at all

Edit : As I wrote in a previous post, looking for a good solution when I have the solution there will be a final of GB
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
I have uploaded it to elelinux.marcero.de again, too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
I just mean a smooth solution for all the different hardware of different heros. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marchard:
ähm, just to make it clear: are there different hardware versions of hero out there? My understanding was until now, that there ist only this "HERO100" platform...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
I can confirm that I have this issue as well... just reboots the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It should not be but it is still,all phones are not made ​​simultaneously, and the company (HTC) are supplied by different manufacturers of chips etc.. may never be the same, just compare the CPU clock for eg. that's the big problem our hardware is not identical.There is obviously a specification that the subcontractor and accomplish the following specific standards governing the production, but it is never exactly the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] helten2:
I am having the exact same problem using v1.9.0. It happens with both GPS Logger and Locus. I start tracking the location and shortly after the screen has turned of the phone resets.

I did a complete wipe of everything before flashing the ROM...any hints?

Thanks for a nice ROM! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raidx:
gps does not work properly after v1.9 installation. phone restarts when gps is open long time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
I flashed the fix for the invisible menus/black screens, and it doesn't appear to work with my phone... Oh well.. :p That's really the only issue I have had with this ROM so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chadoe:
v1.9 has worked without any problems the past several days and is extremely battery friendly on my hero.

I've never had any "black screen" problems, maybe it's related to the fact that I always turn off the "Enable surface dithering" option in the Performance settings, I don't know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
I was actually wondering the same thing and was going to try turning it off because I was using CM7 previously, and though it was unstable in other areas I don't remember ever having invisible menus or black screens. CM7 though had dithering disabled by default and I had left it that way. I will try too and see what happens.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jjb3:
Issue 1.9

Hi Elelinux,

First of al, thanks for the great ROMs. I'm using the 7 ROM from version 0.7 up without any issues :D (until the 1.9 :( ).

I currently have two issues with the 1.9;

-The lockscreen is not working. Not even showing.

-The home button does not work.

I did a full wipe for the 1.9 install (0.7 to 1.8 I only did cache/dalvic). Because I had some more issues (no date in notification bar, no apps showing up in market) I did a cache/dalvic wipe and reflashed the ROM. But it did not fix the two issues above.

Can someone help me out? And Elelinux, keep up the great work!

Greets
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
lockscreen not showing is the infamous black screen bug, no fix known at the moment
