pays attention to what? (my weak attempt at humor)

I tried upgrading (followed instructions, wiped cache and dalvik) - major bootloop fail. had to do full wipe (not ext) and now it's just fine.

disappointed that I can't get screenoff anims working. I've tried everything I've read. no luck.

any suggestions are welcome. I want to see them LoL

I know ther'es more to this update than screen animations sporadically working but it would be fun to see at least once.

Where can I find the latest radio's for this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
radios are not actually rom dependent (or vice versa).

radio you were using will be fine probably.

however I've heard that there is a good selection of flashable radios on villainrom.co.uk if you go into their gsm hero section.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
ERROR = MODS pls delete
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
yes, the anims not working for me...but the rooms cyanogen nightlys works fine.

why? i dont knows
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm ??? ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
lol,i install the rom now, but when i load titanium it said that i dont ROOT....

EDIT: solved with reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
Live wallpapers are no good all together. Even with a high powered phone, they massacre your battery life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TsunKit:
aiusbfgiba!?

I just witnessed the screen-off animation on my hero!

although slow, it finally works!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
grrrrr why doesnt work for me...:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

EDIT: Solved with two reboots
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
How did you enable it? Doesn't work for me even though the option is checked...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
Could not get live wallpaper to work, then saw the download on your post, thats all..... thanks.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] roose21:
Screen off animation!!! Yeah its a little bit slow but.... screen off animation!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
i disable checkbox and reboot..

next i enable checkbox and reboot and works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yasin12:
Screen off animation is working!! Its the same speed as the cdma hero but atleast its finally working.

Great rom, elelinux. Is the best gb rom ive tried so far. Cronos gb comes in a close second.

Also, enable surface dithering in settings>cyanogenMod settings>performance. It improves the images so the jagged gradients go away
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Now I have uploaded the theme Speedmachine again + md5sum and tried again the theme works perfectly.

PS.Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the theme

There is a patched version done by a Taiwanese user which works perfectly on 2.2 and 2.3 without sense.

You should able to find it by searching HTC cime mod v.3 signed

Thanks for the update,

Can you please bring back the crt power off feature, was great on v2.3.

I Use launcher pro 0.8.6. andelelinux 2.4 (cm7)

the day before yesterday i received the error message: " the app LauncherPro (proces android.process.acore) stopped unexpexted. Try again."

the day before yesterday, i wiped my phone back, and installed all my apps back, and today it happens again. it worked fine for 2 days. i stay keeping this error. I can not change the default launcher to another launcher now. I didn't had the problem with launcher pro on your 2.3 rom, but i think i was also using launcherpro 0.8.5 or 0.8.6 beta.

then i went to market.android.com and i chose to install adw launcher. It installed fine. after that i was able to change my default launcher and i could work with adw launcher. Is it possible for you to fix this? or is this a problem of launcherpro and is it better for me to use a previous version?

Can you help me please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It is well known that launcherpro not work particularly well in GB, I use myself ADW EX and are very satisfied.What you should do, you decide yourself
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ablivian:
I think i will try ADW Launcher EX or Zeam Launcher (I think that zeam launcher is the fastest, or am I wrong?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I'm using LauncherPro Plus 0.8.3 and have never had a problem. Maybe I'm just lucky.

BTW. Had little use of the phone this weekend and battery lasted 53 hrs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Thankyou very much! :) I searched it and try it later :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ibnabatoot:
hi all,

have just installed this rom, but cant install a different launcher.

ive tried to install launcher pro and adw now, but all that happens is that the phone crashes and restarts as the launcher begins to install.

any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stravi:
I've experienced this once with a rom before. Had to do a full wipe to fix it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
I'm using LauncherEX and it work's perfectly. Lile stravi said, full wipe and try again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:

endomondo and GPS

Hi,

great ROM, I like it very much but I have a small problem with, well, as title says, endomondo;). When I start a workout and endomondo accesses gps, after a minute or two or just a few seconds, my hero reboots. After that I have more time to do my workout :p, meaning that after reboot endomondo works much longer without rebooting my htc. sometimes after first restart or two I must shut down endomondo on my own, just like it should be.

The issue is same on Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.4 and v2.3.

Any help wold be realy great because I don't wont to stop using nither endomondo or elelinux ROM.

P.S. I followed instructions and i tested with and without options.

thx

talkbox issue since 2.4 update

hi Ive just updated from the 2.3 to the 2.4.

working nice, and smoothly ..

but Talkbox that worked great on the 2.3 , is really not working well now. i cant record messages and cant hear the ones that were sent to me . and all sorts of weired stuff..

is anyone else having problems with it ??

thanks ,

Dan.

HERO-Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.4

2.6.29.6@Herokernel-12a
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taknil:
Okay now this is weird,

after flashing the 2.4 version and then flashing almost all the assets (calculator etc.) I am shown that I am only on Android 2.3.3, I suspect the 3DMaps zip to be the culpable because it also changes the version Name to "Elelinux-7.0.0-Hero-3D-Maps" whereas this cannot be as I had a full wipe done and already came from Elelinux 2.3 (Android 2.3.4).

Also I come to wonder how the ADW_Launcher Zip you provide ever worked as it just places the APK in the system/app but does not replace the default "launcher2" neither appears anywhere usable.

I have no problems(from the usual) however running Launcher Pro as reported above.

Also the easteregg on the about phone screen is now easyer to access(fewer taps)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
WIFI works perfectly on mine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
I am using laucher pro, I am addicted to it :D, but I didn't experienced any problem with any version of elelinux so far (except sometimes the famous black screen issue, but it goes away immediately..) :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jakkuz:
before installing any different launcher use adw uninstaller from 1 page, flashing 2.4 sets adw launcher as default launcher. (anyway it did so in my cause)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hi elelinux,

I am now flashing your 2.4 rom. I wipe all the things then flash your rom and finally reboot the phone. It is now holding on the black HERO boot up screen. I would like to ask how long should I wait for this process? Thankyou very much. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hi elelinux,

Which file should I download? I downloaded the file via this link http://www.elelinux.se/7.0.0/Theme_S...linux_v2.4.zip. The file is only 11MB, I am it is too small. Now my phone stuck at the black "HERO" boot up screen? Please help :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hi elelinux,

I know my problem now, I download the wrong file. Sorry.

Is there any checksum for the 2.4 rom? Thankyou very much. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
Back in the game, anything ive missed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No,I've been bad at it, but must start with it and add md5sum files from v2.5,if I have time tonight I will add md5sum on v2.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hi elelinux,

Can your rom use HTC Sync?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
HTC Sync can only be used on Sense roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Oh. Anyway to sync the contact with Microsoft Outlook?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hi Elelinux,

It sometime has this froce close issue:

The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Please help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
I belive you need to post logcat to diagnose this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] troublecro:
Try MyPhoneExplorer....you need to instal app on pc and client on your phone via market... btw,once done with that,use google sync....it's so much easier and less complicated....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wdaccache:
I've been here before when the invisible menu was all over the place. I just installed the latest and testing it out again.

Hope things got better since then.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anaschillin:
Hi, the latest rom is really slow for some reason... response time is ridiculous... 2.1 release was the best one.... 2.3/2.4 had quite short battery life...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
Also seeing very slow response within gmail
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I can not agree with you, I perceive v2.3-2.4 as the fastest and incredible battery life
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darfbozo:
Agreed

I agree :) After a couple of total charge/discharge cycles, I'm getting almost 2 days out of my battery, which is WAY more than I've ever had with a ROM before.

Good work that man :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Is anybody else having an issue finding Bejeweled 2 in the market? I bought it a while ago and had it but it doesn't show up in the market anymore. I got market enabler and tried a bunch of different countries and it still won't see it. The web market shows me bejeweled and it says Purchased but it says my phone is not compatible because of the carrier, and for some reason no matter what I set market enabler to the web market sees my phone as T-Mobile HTC Hero, but I am on AT&T. Not sure if this is the ROM but before using this ROM I am pretty sure Bejeweled was there..:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluenova:
+ 1, though switching from launcher pro to zeam helped.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anaschillin:
yeah i realised this as well.. i turned off JIT and put VM heap size to 32 and it seems to respond slightly better.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
Same here. I think its also related to "n" routers and access points. unfortunately I flashed my first rom the same time I changed my router at home so I cant confirm it exactly. At work we have bg routers. Wifi is functional a little bit more there but not even perfect (also some drops after a while)

Someone suggest to flash the newest radio, but it also wont fix it in my case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
Did a reboot and it is much better, maybe just a temporary thing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
I don't think is related to the N router, since I'm using it at home, and I never had problem with my Hero, so far..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
..and I'm using B/G router :( I realised this problem since few versions before. SO that's why I changed from newest radio to previous one in hope that... And still it is the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
It would be very interesting if someone with more knowledge in android could figure out whats the damn problem with this annoying wifi bug? I tested serveral ROMs like cyano 6, elelinux 7, speedmachine and elelinux 7.1 in that order. I flashed the newest radio only one time in speedmachine (in hope) but the wifi bug persists since cyano 6. Could it be possible that cyano 6 modified something with wifi that generated this error?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Have u tried to flash the same rom twice with a full wipe? Sometimes, when I have problems with GPS or speed related, I flashed the same rom with a full wipe again, and suddently starts to work fine... don't ask me why.. :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] matawww:
Hey Ele,

Just one question.

Are you making progres in Gtalk voice chat? I am not trying to rush you in any matter, just asking...

Thanks in advance for your answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Filo2Th:
Guys i need little help with my hero.

I flashed this rom, before that made full wipe and when i run my phone he always somehow crash.He use to restart all the time, or i can´t install on him any app, or even i success with install some app it can t open it and say "App closed unexpectedly"

I tried install so many ROMs on my hero but everyone use to crash somehow than i can t use my mobile phone as i would like to.Can anybody please tell me what to do with that? Thank you_!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
Sounds strange. Do you flash twice with full-wipe (fw, flash,fw, flash) or fw, flash, reboot, reboot recovery, fw, falsh?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Filo2Th:
I use to only fw flash reboot than again fw an reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kentai:
Do a full wipe and flash again. Looks like the only option available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Filo2Th:
But it s happening with everyone rom i flash on my hero no just with this one...

i dont know if i have to change radio or kernel or i dont know what to do to make it work fine.. :-/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattijsier:
i have got a problem with my gps connection. He will not connect

can sombody help my with this problem

here is my logcat
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Anyone got a clue why this is happening to me? : I don't know why after I do a full wipe (+ the command "mount /system && rm -rf /system/* && umount /system")and I flash the rom, Market is not showing up in the App Drawer .... I have to delete the Vending.apk from system/app and then from the rom's .zip I have to install it from there. After I install it I move it from data/app to system/app and I make a restart and then it appears in the App Drawer.

Edit: I did a full wipe and then I flashed Elelinux-Hero-2.1-update1 yesterday ... Today I got bored of Sense, I've deleted the folders that the Sense rom made on my sdcard and .android_secure and I switched back to Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.4 after a full wipe and that's when it happened. I've tried downloading the rom from different mirrors and I've tried flashing them one by one and the problem persists but it's fixable :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I had to sign in with my Google account to make it show up :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Maybe the problem was there before I've switched to the Sense Rom and I've fixed it doing the same as you without knowing but it's weird what is happening :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucky Thirteen:
I totally agree with those statement. Battery life is stellar with 2.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:

i agree
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Seelbreaker:
Hmm so bad, that i couldn't get mobile data running (Tried 7 Radio Updates and still i've got an error.... carrier is e-plus in germany

:( Had to switchback to Tastyginger =/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
Did a full charge after turning phone off, booted into recovery and cleared battery stats, now getting close to 2 days with average usage and about 1 day with heavy usage..yeah 2.3.4 has awesome battery life...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added a option for Google Talk 1.3 enjoy :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grea09:
I've got strange behaviour with this ROM. On first boot it just crash if I try anything, well it could be normal I do a reboot. When I reboot the ROM is very fast and respondive, I think it could hav 1Ghz. After I install some apps, I have a very buggy phone and it become very slow. I can't isolate one app that can cause that.

Have you got some ideas ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
brother? mother? missing..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
WTF does this mean?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Referring to his signature... :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grea09:
No, I am in 2.4, the issue is in my main phone.

I think, I found something. As I wipe Dalvik, and normal cache, the phone seems to run faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olive127:
I confirm battery life is incredible on version 2.4, this is quite amazing :)

I love this ROM, I tried Copilot for 45 minutes and did not have any reboot or problem, that's great.

This ROM is very smooth, but sometimes, the phone seems to sleep and when I click on the dialer for example, it would take something more than 8 seconds to open ! same for contacts. I don't know if it's due to how applications/caching is dealt on 2.3.4.

I set it to On Demand with default CPU settings. Chaning to Smartass or Performances does not seem to resolve the issue.

Once the dialer has been opened, then it will open quickly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It will hopefully be a fix for it in the next update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luki59:
I have also sometimes problems with this that the phone need long time to wake up.

What is the best config in the 2.4 version? on Demand, Smartass or performances? And the Mhz?

But the rest works for me very fine and smooth, thanks again elelinunx. This is the reason why I not changed to a newer phone....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AzaraT:
Just popping in again to say thanks for all the great work Elelinux! Much appreciated :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SypherNL:
There seems to be a problem with receiving calls. Most of the time I am unable to answer it, although it says its connected you don't hear anything. The other party hears beeps instead. :confused:

Maps

Updated to reflect new knowledge

Hey, I've been investigating a bit about the new google maps, I noticed that the 3D Maps zip elelinux provides is just a modified build.prop that makes the Hero believe it can handle the vector map tiles and so it does.

I thing replacing the entire build.prop is overkill as you only change a character and it messes up some version numbers and OS Version.

Could you make an 3DMaps.zip that uses an update_build.sh

such as this one

(On the CDMA Hero they use ro.opengles.version=131072 according to here)

Or just make the 2.5 3D enabled for all, I must say it runs smooth for me.

I would do this myself but I have no real bash script knowledge nor do I know how to make an update.zip

Thx, a loyal customer

Also, somehow I cannot scroll most of the lists and views in the google latitude part of the maps app witch is odd, does anybody experience the same things?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] insomnia48:
This has been answered a lot of times in this thread so far, please make a search before posting something. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
have any way to install new build but keep all installed apps?

P.S: is anyone using Go launcher or any GO's apps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taknil:
Yes I found it, I modified the post accordingly. Sorry for being to loose on the post button.

@kaizvn Go Launcher is ultra sluggish for me, the go Dialer and go SMS apps are okay. Keyboard from the goDev team is very slow too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] insomnia48:
If you are using a version higher than 2.1 then you don't need to wipe everything, just cache and dalvik cache, so all installed apps will be ok.

If you are using an older version, or for whatever reason you need to wipe everything, then the only way is with a backup app like Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro. (Well, you can always pull them with adb and after flashing push them back, but that won't save their settings).

But remember to backup apps + app data ONLY. Backing up system settings can result in unexpected behaviour a lot of times because different ROM versions may have different settings.

No worries!!!:D I know this a long thread and it's really boring to go through the whole of it, but at least we've got a search button. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
thanks 4 ur answer.

but elilinux said that :

so : do i need wipe all or just davik cache and cache?

you know, install all my apps again.... it's a long story lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] insomnia48:
Which version are you using?

Read the changelog in post No 2. It depends on which version you are now if you need to wipe everything.

Elelinux said what you are posting in the opening post and it is intended for someone coming from a different ROM.

And as I said before, even if you do need to wipe everything, use a backup app and save a huge amount of your time. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wdaccache:
Do you know of a good backup app that restores your apps after full wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Everyone is fan of Titanium, Myself not so much, I now made a small list of apps wich I use and only install those again from the market or from a folder on my SD. Saves me a lot of bugs the restoring of most restoration apps bring me.

But Titanium is the fav under most people.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
Which radio version are you using? I'm trying to determine whether or not to try this ROM, and this would obviously be a showstopper.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I am on 17.03 or something (the latest). There is a bug in GingerBread wich makes it so that it takes up to 3 to 5 sec before the connection to the other side who is calling or who you are calling is made. I saw somewhere that it was fixed in the latest builds of CM7 Nightlies. I got no idea if this is also the case in this rom, or the CM7 Nightlies for the Hero for that matter.

Atleast that is one annoying bug and since I am getting more importand and I dont want to sound stupid when I answer the phone I went back to a fully working 2.2 Rom. And well it has working GPS and all that stuff so my phone no longer is in the mood to Reboot out of the blue. It just works.
