Million thanks to Ele for the excellent ROM. I have been using custom V2 for several weeks and it is excellent in terms of performance and stability. I feel my Hero has revived.

I only got one issue with this ROM - whenever the machine starts, the call forwarding setting is not restored in the notification bar. If I go through the below path

Setting -> Call settings -> Call forwarding

then the call forwarding icon (a phone with blue background) will appear (if I have activated call forwarding).

Is there any system setting to config so that the call forwarding status can be shown whenever I start the machine?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gone2Plaid:
Same problem in my Google Maps. Anybody else?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] socratesig:
Me too.

I restored Maps version 5.11.0 from a backup, and it's OK. I've also separated Maps from the market to avoid updates until a corrected version will be available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Thanks for your help!

Concerning cpu I'm going to try those values. But I'm afraid that the min. value (245) will delay my phone to "wake" on a incoming call....am I wrong?..

Concerning the launcher I'm quite happy with ADW.

I just want to configure things to make my precious Hero stable, smooth, fast (as a Hero can be :p) and with the minimum of battery drain as possible. :rolleyes:

Maybe I'm asking too much?..:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathanljs:
I run with min value 264 and max 672. If you lower the min value much below this, wake is a little slow. But it's always a little weird around answering calls, that's something to live with. Much higher, and you can find some apps are a little unstable. This works for me.

I'm currently seeing whether the LV1.0RC2 (see LV thread) saves battery. It's certainly as smooth as the inbuilt Fly, though a bit more sensitive to the cpu speed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
Yeah, the trackball starts to illuminate a second before the phone starts ringing when its asleep, but it's not too bad for me, and I never miss any calls because of this.

You can make lots of performance tweaks using Rom Toolbox by JRummy, but I don't know the optimal values for any of these settings yet. Take a look, you'll see what I mean.

There's no such thing as asking too much on xda.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

I know what you mean about the app instability, when using a max of 710, and I had problems with this in earlier builds of this ROM, but with 3.5 and above, I've found this working really well for me, you should give it a try. Mind you, I'm not using the custom build, I'm still using the standard 3.6 ROM, so things could work differently for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathanljs:
Gave it a shot, but my adw becomes a little unstable (restarts) at 710 and according to my benchmarker (AnTuTu), there's no difference in performance between running at 672 and 710. So might as well just save a little battery and stay stable!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Thanks a lot! I'll try running with those values. And, one of these days, I'll try LV1.0RC2, too. :D

Thanks for your help! If I put the min in a very small value, not only the trackball starts to illuminate a second before the phone starts ringing but also I have to wait a few secs., while the phone is ringing, before the screen "wakes up" to allow me to see who is calling.

First start wizard

I'm gonna to sell my Hero. So I wiped and formatted everything a and reflashed the ROM. But, when the phone boots up, there is no first start wizard, which will guide the new user through language, account and wifi setup. And I guess it should be the first thing the new user would see. Also, the tutorial android on the homescreen is missing.

So, what can I do to enable those things to help new user?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akhil10s:
Nice Rom

installed this rom yesterday on Htc Hero GSM and it works as a charm, really nice and stable app. It looks nice with HTC theme ..

Only issue which i observed was facebook widget was not available ( i have upgraded to latest facebook app), anyone else facing this?

great work guys ..

Thanks

Akhil
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] michael_hk:
Finally I have written an auto startup app that calls ##21# to cancel the call forwarding.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abelbcn:
Hello, I've only seen the tutorial in the original HTC Rom's. In CM Rom's only have seen a Android robot widget widget with some tips and the tutorial when you activate the google account.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
Did you mean you re-flashed the stock ROM? Either way, it couldn't hurt to just go to Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirilliz:
Hi there, has anybody else experienced graphic glitches in Google maps since version 6 update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lobotka:
Could someone please tell me what is the difference between this versions? (stable, custom, light...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Version 6 works like crap on the Hero, well from 5.6 and up it works like crap. I use 5.5.0 and that one works just fine, maps load fast and are sharp in less then a sec even on G connection and nav just works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
There is a description in the changelog in the second post of the thread,

Could you link (or upload) that version? I would very much appreciate that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirilliz:
just google "maps 5.5 apk" and download it form there.. worked for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Or look in Vanilla eclair 6.2 topic, it has an update package for maps that you can just flash :P make sure the current one is removed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rancor187:
gapps installed exept for GMail :/

Hi, I just flashed this rom (Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6) on my brothers GSM hero,

But I couldnt find any google apps so I checked the first post again and found this:

".... but no gapps included. download gapps from here >>> http://www.goo-inside.me/gapps/"

So I downloaded gapps for CM7 from here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps

gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip to be exactly.

So everything is there now except for GMail which I gannot find, not even in the market. Also I installed "Market Enabler" and changed my Provider, now I am on "US T-Mobile" (fake of course), still can't find GMail in the market :/

What went wrong?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
Hello all,

sometimes I notice that notifications of larger programs get killed. I have used both Handcent SMS and Go SMS, but on both programs I see that whenever I receive an SMS, but I don't look at the pop-up right away, it gets killed after a while. The only way in which I can tell I have an SMS is because I use Launcher Pro with unread sms count icon at the bottom. This sometimes also happens with Whatsapp, and maybe even some other programs?

Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Gapps for CM7 does no longer include Gmail.apk: "For CyanogenMod 7 and other Gingerbread ROMs [...]. In addition, any app which can be installed from the Android Market such as Gmail, Maps, and Voice Search were removed from the package to eliminate the need for a Tiny package. Instead, the Pacman application was added, which asks the user to select which Google Apps should be downloaded and installed from the Market. "

Now, don't ask me why you can't find it in the market, if I were you I would try to find out that this "pacman" app is and how to use it and if that doesn't work, get a Gmail.apk from another Android 2.3 ROM for Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manfio:
What is the best kernel to this rom?

Las venturas or flykernel13?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rancor187:
Thanks, I got the idea to do a TitaniumBackup for Gmail from a friends (2.3.x) phone and restored it on my brothers hero-phone. GMail is running now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeatsByMessi:
installed the custom-v2 one and so far i love it. i like the way bits of sense and cyanogenmod have been combined. only been using it for for 5 mins but seems good so far. i've been switching from rom to rom trying to find the perfect one. if i find the battery life on this rom good then i think i may have found the one :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Would someone be kind enough to up the email fix zip here for me please? It's missing from first page now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Hi elelinux,

I'm off to the Galaxy Nexus Forums, just wanted to say thank you again for keeping my Hero alive for so long! I don't think the Galaxy Nexus Community will be the same as here...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
There will be no updates for this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aleksandar.1:
the preinstalled market is not working (v3.6) for me.... i installed the older market.

ICS ! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gone2Plaid:
Curious as to how others have set their CyanogenMod performance settings. I'm using the following:

SmartassV2, 245 min, 614 max

Compcache disabled

JIT unchecked

Surface dithering unchecked

Home screens locked in memory checked

Purging of assets checked

VM heap size set to 24MB

Working pretty smoothly, but always looking for ideas to improve it. Thoughts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
as I know JIT improves the rom's speed if enabled. And you could increase the VM to 32MB
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] michael_hk:
I think I have left most of the settings default.

interactiveX, 352 min, 691 max

Compcache disabled

JIT checked

Surface dithering checked

Home screens locked in memory checked

Purging of assets checked

VM heap size set to 48MB
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
SmartassV2, 176 min, 652 max

Compcache disabled

JIT checked

Surface dithering unchecked

Home screens locked in memory checked

Purging of assets checked

VM heap size set to 32MB

Those where mine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
Thanks

A week ago i sold my Hero and got a Desire instead (very happy with it btw).

As all others, i just wanted to show my gratitude for everything that happened in here in the last year. It's been a wild ride and if it wasn't for Ele and you guys, I would have sold my hero a long time ago.

Thanks and see you in another life! ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gone2Plaid:
Tried it with JIT on, but noticed a problem. The use of Google maps (and I believe specifically the activity of the GPS trying to acquire lock) caused the phone to reboot which wasn't happening before. Unchecked it and no further problems. Am I imagining a connection or could they be related?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tR0ARKE:
does anyone have a centerclock + transparent satusbar patch for this? thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tanisdlj:
Absolutely amazing!!!!!! Thank you very very much!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I can see if I can do it soon. If you want GB with this patch you can try my HabaDecked rom, which I also find faster than this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
I agree it's faster ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
You guys should try the new nightly for the hero. The only downside is that it doesn't have a2sd-ext support and u have to flash gapps and flykernel 13 over it. In my opinion it's faaaasssttt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
I love this rom but in the last days I'm having several force closes and I'm noticing that my hero is a bit slower...Maybe it as too much apps installed?...Or must I make a restart from time to time? (I almost never shut down the phone).

I appreciate some ideas..;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junguit:
It helps to restart your phone atleast once per week and maybe let it cool down for just a few minutes. Its the same when you have a computer running for a long time, it gets slower and slower. It needs to be restarted too clean some dumpfiles, cache, ram and so on...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
I'll do what you suggested. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] n0elite:
Man, visiting this section makes me feel nostalgic. I miss my Hero....Unfortunately it was stolen by some ****.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
Without A2sd I'm not very happy with it though. I flashed back to another rom in order to have support. If anyone knows how to add it to this ROM I would appreciate it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
This fantastic rom has a2sd integrated. You only have to make a partition in your sd card and choose were you want the apps to be installed. :cool: :)

Edit: Sorry. I thought you're talk about Ele's rom..:o Discard what I said..:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:
I cant download the latest nightly, i only get an error message :S

can someone upload it for me plz:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
http://199.167.134.110/cm/hero/nightly

at the bottom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:
Thank you! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] withoutwings:
Damn :(

So are there any other divisions in that function which could cause a divide-by-zero exception that the logcat is pointing to?

EDIT: Are you sure it is changed? Where did that come from? Because I can't see it here:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...ces/java/com/android/server/ProcessStats.java

The logcat mentioned line 704, which does match up with that line in the Cyanogenmod github source file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mohammadsp:
Is there any problem with WIFI?

I couldn't connect it while at the same time my N82 connected to the network and Internet was available
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Will look again when I get home tonight from work, did a "Search in source" last night but not the laptop I would normally use,my another one but both are up-to date.Have always two different sources, a untouched source, and one that I work with
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luki59:
Hi Elelinux,

I must Say it again. Thanks a lot for this work. It is such a great work that you made for us Hero-Users.

But I hope you find with all this work also a little bit time for your family.

Thanx and greetings

Looks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
It worked first time, but when I recovered my data with titanium backup (didn't wipe my ext partition) it still worked, but when I started adding my widgets to Launcherpro I got stuck in an infinite bootloop.

Can't wait to try it without this issue :-)

p.s. I also didn't have my home button working for some reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] williamit:
hi. thanks your work.

But This ROM　boot loop again and again.

I am waiting next release.

:D:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Yes thanks ele for your work. Very slow GPS with 5.1

Scrub that, GPS fix just took off..

Sent from my Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bantu85:
Flashed 0.5.1 last night.

No errors, no reboots. Thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thanks :D

And to the rest of you guy´s if I can get some feedback to the new GPS settings I did, how it work in version 0.5.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld123:
The new 0.5.1 works great....no reboots n any gps issues thus far...the oni issue i can find is with the screen-off animation not showing up...will really love it if u can get it to work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tatwamasi:
GPS is much improved now, perhaps a little slow (not sure, more testing needed probably).

This ROM seems pretty usable, no obvious issues anyway. Well done, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
First boot much longer than in previous versions. Screen off animation still doesn't work. But other animations like scrolling lists work much better and smoother. Will check how does GPS work and report it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Slick ROM ele. I came from cronosGB 1.1.0-PE thinking that was the smoothest (it too is very smooth) but this ROM seems even better. You have managed to remove the stutter when scrolling through the app list in Zeam. I only remember seeing this smooth once before in one of your Froyo ROMs. then after an update the stutter was back... (I think I mentioned it at the time too!)

anyway the smoothness is back now and I havent had any problems so far. I havent used GPS so cant comment. As a few people have mentioned there are no screen on/off animations but its not a big issue for me.

what is the different between cache and dalvik-cache, in recovery I only see dalvik-cache. I am using old amon ra recovery so maybe wipe cache is a new thing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gertjanw1993:
Just a question, does this version support other lcd density? and does it support all languages(Dutch)?

Grtz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
GPS is working better and faster. Also GMaps are working smoother and are not so laggy as I mentioned yesterday in v0.4.

Thanks a lot, Ele ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gocegi:
Wooow

In the benchmarking thread, it says v0.4 boosts up to 55 fps on Neocore?!?! That's more than double than we had on Froyo Roms... I don't know whether to believe it??

If it really is true, i will sure give it a go.

Would love to see my hero performing neocore as the galaxy s :D :D :D

Can someone post a video of their hero runing Neocore on Ele's v.0.5.1 gingerbread?? Pls Pls Pls Surely the benchamrks will be bigger :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tatwamasi:
I'd be interested to know this too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
It is true, I had 58fps with sound off. But a lot of graphics are missing in Neocore, you only see a black screen with a few lights moving :p It's not ROM related, Neocore just has to be updated. Quadrant had similar issue, but with an update all problems has been fixed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well :D as for your question on "partition cache the main system cache" and "difference between partition cache and dalvik cache" its kind of confusing but the partition usually relates to your sdcard where as "system" would be the internal memory....

as for "dalvik" heres a quick google find : dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program.

some more

One of the best functions of Android has to be the Dalvik cache. Dalvik cache is a wonder from the point your Android starts up, runs, hibernates and all the way till you device shuts down. Dalvik cache collects the information about the installed applications and frameworks, and organizes them into a writeable cache. Under this writeable cache, it stores the “optimized” bytecode of the applications which is used by the applications themselves later for a smoother operation. This dalvik cache can grow immensely huge as more applications are installed on your phone. It is safe to wipe dalvik-cache. It will be rebuilt again when the phone boots. This also explains why your phone takes ages to start up for the first time

An easy explanation then > Dalvik cache manage classes.dex and cache manage for example you are browsing then it will remember where you were last, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tatwamasi:
So, to wipe cache I should wipe user data (factory reset) then. I thought that might be the case but as f_padia says the labelling seems a bit different on my recovery.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Hello, i installes 3.6 lite.

My Problem is that i can´t use the SDCARD.

My Apps are on ext3. But the normal SDCARD is invisibe.

I formated it but nothing happend.

The Hero shows that is no SDCARD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Found the problem. It´s the SDCard.

But i don´t kwno why the card don´t work.

CM7.2???

Hi Ele!

I read today about the release of CM 7.2rc1. Is there any chance of a CM7.2 with Elelinux-taste? I'm still using v3.6 and i'm quite happy, but of course i would like to be uptodate and test new stuff ;)

Thanks in advance. Keep on rocking!

Bye, Marc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well how knows :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
Hello ele, well come back ;) Any new/updated rom for us? :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kingcharles1666:
+1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Was a little nostalgic and got a jolt and dusted off my old Hero, the rom is updated to version 3.7 with all the latest from CM-source.

Enjoy :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junguit:
Thx! Haha I still use my hero as my second phone! Will update it asap!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Ele, you're my idol!! :o:p

Downloading now! Thanks!!;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nscxp2005:
Excellent Ele!

Will you be making a ICS Rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aleksandar.1:
That was fast elelinux ! :D:D

Tnx.

I would also like to try a stabile full working ics rom for the hero :D

CM7.2 RC1 has some isc features... i guess ics rom is too much for the hero ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
how does this new 7.2 compare to the default cm 7.2 rc1? I assume it has the previous tweaks so it should be a bit faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
@elelinux : ty for the update. Sad to see that there will not be an update to the Elelinux-7.1-Hero-Custom-v2. I loved the sense look but I guess I'll just have to get over it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arvan:
Hi Ele, Glad to see there is in update.

I was using your Hero-7.1-v3.6 version and was happy with it till the last 3 days when the accounts sync broke :( I don't know why but nothing is syncing.

Now I'm going to try the v3.7, hope this will fix it...

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

It didn't help :( I flushed the new rom, but I still can't sync... Can this be somehow connected to Google Market change to Google Play with a new privacy policy?

A few days ago (sync was working) when I opened Market, it asked me whether I agree to the terms of use, etc... That was strange, but I agreed.

Now I remember that it was the last day Google account sync worked...

Is there anything you can do with the rom? Is there something missing? Or it's something else...

BTW, for anything else, the rom is great :)

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Oh forget it :D It appeared that my hero was low on space and I didn't know about the feature that turnes sync off in such cases :D

I've had a hard drive crash, and then all my changes went to hell, that I made for my custom version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cet90:
does the latest version have predictive dialer and rotation animation?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tom0769:
Try cm7 and imagine some extra features and tweaks (op).

The you'll know what you get.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cet90:
so does it mean elelinux 7.2 have the cm7.2 feature as well? LOL i tried the cm7.2 rc1 already! =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nijnvy:
I heard CM7.2 has a new predictive dialer.. would this get implemented into elelinux7.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aleksandar.1:
It's already 'implemented' :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nijnvy:
Ah! need to switch it on *facepalm*
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aleksandar.1:
well, the things works only if switched on :D

the predictive dialer is the most useful feature on the phone... imo
