Yeah, i'm running 2.5. This is what I couldn't understand but flashing Hero Kernel update zip improved the performance greatly. Also it did already say Hero Kernel in the about phone menu so I'm really confused as to why it made any difference at all.

I bought myself a new battery (official one for £10!) and my battery life is now fantastic again. Over 24 hours and still on 40% left. I'm overall very happy with my phone now... all runs great (although I haven't used navigation for any amount of time and I heard GPS can randomly reboot your phone - this is the only thing left I need to test).

Thanks to all involved with this rom, especially Elelinux
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Where did you get a battery that cheap?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
I would love to know that too!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
I re-flashed the kernel and it also seems to be faster. Maybe some small difference between the option and the one built in?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
is the black theme the "original" GB theme? I like more the stock (white) theme of 2.2. Is it possible to get white theme for this Rom?

TIA
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
you can try to mix the UI by yourself using the kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No actually not
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
funny thing... I had the same feeling with v2.5, it was a bit slower then I was used to it. I thought I messed it up with my apps or something and that's why I decided to switch for a while to something superfast like Speedmachine, but I may try to restore my 2.5 and try to reflash herokernel again. I'll report back. Hope it's not a placebo effect :))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
Odd because the phone definitely feels faster (e.g. time for gmail to load up, scrolling homescreens on launcher pro)

I thought the slow down may have been due to the change in memory manager settings. Any chance this has been changed by reflashing the kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
It made a huge difference for me. Battery life extended, it would wake up for calls and alarms etc. But I have no idea why... it said the same hero kernel before i flashed so it shouldn't have made a difference... but it did!

Still i'm really pleased with this ROM... all great for me now.

Elelinux: Do you think you will be looking at a new sense ROM any time in the future? Like a port of the Salsa one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tcblues:
I've installed google music beta so now I need to delete Default Music Player but when I go to http://www.elelinux.se/7.0.0/delete-default-musicplayer.zip it says: Error occurred: 404 - not found
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Sorry, yes of course it is so, it's the old memory settings in init.rc but the kernel is the same,I changed it because of all the nagging about the apps are killed too fast.

Maybe I should go back to the old settings or keep the kernel as an option.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Fix it when I get home tonight
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
Maybe have the new memory settings as an option? By leaving apps open my phone became very slow and was frustrating. Having apps stay open is a nice idea, but I just don't think the hero can take it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Just as I thought too, but everyone else wanted to change the low memeory settings,yes I will revert to my old settings and add a option kernel instead when is time to update the rom again.

BTW have added "remove stock musicplayer " again as a option :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Ele, what did you change in the sources for the HeroKernel relative to the FlyKernel 12a sources?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Only change was to revert to your old config,removed tun.ko as module

Edit: I removed tiarp and sdio to no need of them ether
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haven't noticed that with ele 0.2 plus that blue whatever lwp I recommended.

gotten 20 to 24 hours of regular use with my phone with this rom with original battery. kind of amazing since I was about to buy a new battery as I was only getting about 10 hrs of use out of most froyo roms recently.

made no difference with or without lwp.

I'm certain it depends on the lwp, but also GB seems WAY better at managing it's battery life and processes than froyo, 2.1 or earlier versions were.

not trying to argue, just pointing out what I've personally found coupled with a bit of research.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
damn you all LoL

just kidding

but no animations for me

I've tried all of those combinations of things

oh well... :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yasin12:
Another quick tip. Go into spare parts and for window animations and transition animations change them both to slow. Makes the rom feel allot smoother
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
No screen off animations here either. Checked screen off animations. Went to spare parts and set animations and transitions as suggested. Rebooted. Nothing. I assume I should see something when I press the hang up button. All that happens is the screen goes off. Then I can see my reflection on the screen and can make faces at myself. Is that the screen off animations?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] row1:
I flashed it without wiping over top of cronos 0.0.9 by mistake. Apart from having to uninstall gmail and then reinstall it, it seems to work fine :|

Obviously not recommended, but so far so good.

Thanks for the great work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld123:
CPU

I dont seem to be able to change the CPU governor and the clock speeds from the CM setting...wat could be the issue?? Anyone else having the same prob??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
It is said in the first post that the CM settings CPU thingy is not working 100%
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Guess so... those are the only "animations" I can see too. I've tried everything (see the last line in my signature) in my quest to achieve THIS
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld123:
Then how do I get my desired screen on freq of 652MHz??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
where is google maps navigation ? is it not a part of this rom ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Untill Elelinux releases a fix we can use SetCPU 2.10
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld123:
Thanks dude...I tot there would be some conflict between setcpu and the cm governer....anyways it worked...Thanks alot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
EDIT: TO LATE, NOOooooo :(

Kdn
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] triksgold:
Perfect job!love it so much!

But I think there might be something wrong with the theme named "Cyanbread",though it is so beatiful.

Please check the attach file!Waiting for your reply.Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BassOperators:
Here's the answer to my question about the abrupt transitions of colors or color 8bit

CM Extra / Performance / Smooth surface.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Nice,I did not mean to be rude to you earlier if you perceived it that way. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added a gmail-fix,for those who have problems with gmail :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Discovered the source of my reboot issue.

I figured it was probably an app which was wanting root access, so after the latest reboot loop, I installed a suspected app and sure enough as soon as it was installed it didn't ask for root privileges (at least on the screen), but immediately restarted the phone.

I'm on 3UK and there's a fix I've used since I bought the phone by neilandtheresa.co.uk which seems to be the culprit. I didn't have the restart issue with version 0.2 so I guess there's a conflict in 0.3 with this app, going to carefully check out the other "root" apps and see if any others are also responsible.

Still the best ROM ever ... thanks Elelinux
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thanks for the information, shall consider any sensible script that could handle such problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks for the teriffic rom Ele. Where can I find these different themes in this rom e.g.Cyanbread?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tcblues:
thanks a lot :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Friday suprice :) the rom is updated,read changelog before installation
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Downloaded and going to install now with LV :D Thanks for this again Ele.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Matuna!:
Can somebody explain to me what's the difference between the three different kernels.

I have no idea what so ever.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Thanks for a nice friday suprise. I have a question that is not rom specific, and hope that you or someone else can help me with it. I have some problems getting cm7 and widgetlocker to run together. I've read that it can be solved by locking widget locker in home. can you tell me where and how i can add this to a rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
How is it? It is better than Froyo 2.2.1 or not?. I used to install this V2.5 but have to return to speedmachine V4 because it seems slow.

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well,speedmachine is always a good choice but give this one a try,personally I like this build more than speedmachine v4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
Have tried and it is definitely better than V2.4 and perhaps speedmachine V4 as well. This build should be the best one for Hero today ;)

Thanks for your work and hope to have the final one when final Hero-CM7 is ready.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hi elelinux,

I really don't know whether it is a bug or not. When I am charging my phone, the LED light turn to green for 90% but not 100%. Any ideas? Thankyou very much :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
That is how it is in asop roms ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
The low memory-kernel "kills apps little quicker and the rom feels much more stable this way."

The non-low memory-kernel doesn't kill apps that aren't actively used that fast.

The las-venturas kernel is a new kernel that seems to be working only on some heros, but then, very good, though I think there is a problem with the camera.

So you should basically try out which one works best for you. And read the changelog, which gives a (albeit short) explanation of the kernels.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hi elelinux,

After I updated to v2.6, there is a Car Home app. What is it? Thankyou :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well, googling on it and you'll find guaranteed a answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
A diplomatic answer if ever I heard one. Thanks Ele :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tcblues:
Jus a silly question... I use Rom Manager and when I select the rom I want to install, the option for "Wipe Dalvik Cache" is selected, the other two are "Copy curent Rom" and "Wipe Data and Cache", you say that is necessary wipe of cache and dalvik, do you mean "Wipe Dalvik Cache"?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
In amonra recovery you have thoose option,but not in clockwork.I don't use clockwork myself and I don't rember the different choices you have there but if you have wipe dalvik cache then that's enough
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petemt:
Nice update! And indeed, I also use clockwork and all you need to do is use the "wipe dalvik cache" option in recovery.

I have one question though, is it possible to get or ROM to use OTA with ROM manager?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
i am going to flash this monster speed machine. but guys i see three kernel options there which one should i flash to make hero amazingly fast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
all been said
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cenata:
Thanks alot !! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
For those who are eager to try some new code so there is v2.6.1, contains some nice things, read the changelog. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Oops, you were fast :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
Are the GPS trackng troubles solved yet? Thats whats holding me back to try this insteat of the always working and stable speedmachine? Thanks for all the effort you put in!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Going to try it out
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Do not think you are not satisfied, have even translated to German the changes in CMParts. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iop tha man:
No, you were FAST!!! thx =]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
LOL :) that you have been waiting for
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
excuse me Elelinux, does 2.6.1 run stable as 2.6, or include some risks?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes it is stable,only added some new code :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Thanks, but I would be happy with English too. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well,English is included too. :) or how we say in Sweden Swenglish
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Configurable 90, 180 and 270 degree rotation

Thank you Elelinux finally the horrible 270 rotation is gone.

Verified; Looks good to me, approved :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
I can confirm this. No bug found yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
Hi all,

I'd like to address two problems I had during the last days (on v2.5, I'll try 2.6 later, I'll explain why below).

problem 1: this problem has been mentioned before I think. A few days ago a friend called me on my phone. It started vibrating, and the trackball was lighting up, but there was a black screen for seconds long, so I had to answer using the hrardware "answer" button. When we started talking, a few seconds later the phone started vibrating again AND playing the ringtone (as it was supposed to do the first time). So there was a vibrating and sound during the call I was making. What causes this horrible delay? I went to cyanogenmod settings and checked everything, including lock home in memory and lock message app. I do use Dialer One as standard phone app though, could this be a problem?

problem 2: At this very moment there is a large open air festival going in the town where I live. Luckily that I live there, so I can charge my phone at home ;) but a festival might be an occasion where you might want to try and extend the battery life as long as possible. So the first day I stood up at 6:30 AM, it was at 100% battery. When we finished setting up our tents around 9:00 AM it was already at 70%, and I hadn't been doing anyhting battery straining. I went back home again, charged my phone, and when I left around 12:00 or 13:00 it was at 83% (I didn't fully charge it). I brought up my energy saving bar, unchecked EVERYTHING (wifi, 3g, bluetooth, gps, sync, low brightness, silent mode), and I went to settings > active processes and killed everything but "google services" and "keyboard" and maybe 1 other thing. I thought the battery drain might have something to do with Trillian running in the background (but not signed on) or a location-based profile app (Llama, doesn't use GPS but phone cells). Still, my battery was COMPLETELY empty around 19:30, and I had to wait until next day 12:00 before I could go home and charge it again (which is now, while I'm writing this).

This festival causes a major strain on the phone networks/providers nationwide. People can't make phone calls at times, or get really slow or no mobile internet, and text messages are delayed sometimes. Could it be that the constant searching for a phone network made the battery drain so fast? normally I can last about a day with a fully charged battery. I'll put my phone on airplane mode today, and go back to normal mode only a few times when I want to check something.

This is why I won't switch to 2.6 for a few days, I saw it was a test rom, and I would rather stick with a stable one during the festival. The festival is over in 2 days, then I will try 2.6 :)

-EDIT- forgot to say that I had cpu set to smartass, and back to ondemand when it was half empty, but this made no difference in draining :(

Sorry for the lenghty post, but I hope you can help me. You're doing great work, Elelinux, and I always look forward to new and better releases!

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
Everything works like a charm, too bad gps tracking still kills my phone; I've tried smartass, ondemand, different speeds but the phone FC after around 20 minutes.

Will there ever be a fix for this?

Back to speedmachine then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Which GPS application do you use so I will have to try to create the same problems.I use Copilot works like charm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
I use looptijden.nl it's a dutch gps tracking program, I look if have the same problem with my tracks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frige:
Same GPS tracking issue here. Have this with all GB ROMs (Elelinux, Cronos).

Works fine for Programs useing GPS with screen on (like Copilot or Google Navigation). Problems are with GB Roms using GPS tracking apps ;I use Maverick - shows maps + you can switch on tracking (right lower corner) and then the program tracks also in screen off mode. Very helpful outdoor - eats up much less battery and you get the complete track of your hiking, biking.. There is an free version in the market if you want to test. Also played around with Locus (similar map program): same issue: fine in screen on, fc in screen off.

Same programs work like a charm with Elespeed 4.0. This is the reason that i stil use 2.2 ROM Speedhero 4.0 for my daily use. Everything else in 2.6 with GB works fine -but the GPS driver seems to have this "bug"

by the way: thanks for all the nice ROMs and the energy you put in ! I enjoy speedhero 4.0 a lot - but can not withstand to test GB with 2.6 from time to time. Do not really need the features but it is just fun to try it..

Frige
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thanks, then I try Maverick
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcher233:
I saw a v2.7 screenshot on your very first post... fantastic.

I have a question here, I don't like some themes other than the stock one, so all I need is to remove the theme file xxx.apk from /system/app? Do I have to do something else to actually remove that theme from my phone?

Thanks, Esa!

===edit===

Oh, sorry, another question, is this ROM containing the stock fonts of android 2.3? I see this version have a different chinese font than your previous roms... perhaps that's google's fault? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No,remove with adb ,all themes are apkfiles then you can also remove theme chooser and theme manager if you want.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I posted this in riemer's thread.

@riemer

I have worked on the camera bug is now quite a while, has probably come a little closer to the problem,have made ​​a few changes and a different setup.

Tried to take pictures with both smartass and ondemand 264/518 MHz and it works fine,good if more people want to try this kernel.

http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/4385754/file.html

@riemer I will contact you regarding changes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Some GPS tracking apps confirmed working on Ele's GBv2.5 that I had tested were cardiotrainer and sports tracker (my current favourite).

Buddy Runner (used to be my favourite) won't work with screen off in GB.

Google Navigation app also stopped running and closed once screen off.

Haven't try maverick.

+1 Same for me, just trying out GB for 'new features', which atm , I feel I can do without as most apps just work fine on Froyo. But many thanks to Elelinux nevertheless, for his perseverance and great work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
It is 2.7 on first post ;) I am on 2.6.1 now and it is working smoothly only it kills app a little too quick but it is acceptable. When can I upgrade to 2.7 (any new on it !)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sabers105:
You can use Titanium Backup to remove unwanted system apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Change kernel to the modded HeroKernel-12a on the first post

Edit: v2.7 is only for my self at the moment,testing some stuff,updated the screen just to be slightly ahead ,for once
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Was trying 2.6.1 but 3G/HSDPA kept dropping after a few seconds. Thought it might be a location problem so restored my 2.5 backup and then everything worked correctly.

Anyone else experience this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holzfisch:
gps: have same problems. after about 20 minutes phone reboots in tracking mode (v2.5).

apps tested: apemap, oruxmaps, google navigation

everything else fine. thanks for that rom

Michael
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Slightly off-topic but my gmail client is receiving new mail but isn't sending (they are stuck with the red "sending" label). Anyone any ideas what this could be? It's been working fine up until today

EDIT: Clearing data for the GMail app fixed this problem for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucky Thirteen:
Thanks Ele!

I didn't upgrade from 2.5 this time, I totally wiped my phone to upgrade to 2.6 and so far it's an awesome version. After 48 hours I didn't found something going wrong. I restored my apps only with TB, everything runs smoothly and very responsiveness.

Didn't tried the GPS yet, but tomorrow I will, so I let you know how it works for me.

Awesome job! As always!

Cheers mate!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gone2Plaid:
GPS is critical to me - looking forward to your update tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
Just installed 2.6 (over 2.5 after a Cache and Dalvik wipe) and the first thing I noticed was Google Voice crashing on startup. Manually starting it crashes it too.

I don't use Voice, so I uninstalled it, but it shouldn't happen nevertheless. Anyone else seeing this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cenata:
Hello guys,

I don't know if it is allready asked but does Automatic date and time works for you?

I have set it to auto but it doesn't work. I think with HTC Stock rom I have no problems, but every non-htc (vanilla, cyanogen) rom does not work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wayferer:
Works here. I upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6.1 and has worked on both versions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Automatic date and time is not working for me since Version 1.8 or lower i think. It stays at GTM 0 and it doesn't switch to my GTM not even after an hour. I have to manually set my GTM. It doesn't bug me or anything. Oh and I always do a full wipe before flashing a new build, I never upgrade.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cenata:
Never mind then. It's not so important. I travel a lot and I just hate to change it manually. Maybe there is a problem with the mobile operator.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petemt:
Time and date works perfectly for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] busbutt:
I cannot get my GPS to lock on with this ROM. I think I may have had the same problem with the speedmachine ROM too. I am in Canada. Are these ROMs configured for working GPS only in Europe? Do I need to change the configuration in some way?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Just a quick tip to those who are using this rom, as it seems very few ppl are aware of it: If you press and hold on the widgets in the notification power widget you enter their setting. Like if you press and hold the wifi button you enter the wifi settings. Pretty useful :)
