[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Flashed 1.3 this morning, coming from 1.0. Did a wipe of cache and dalvik as suggested and all seems to work just fine (only had to reset the settings of "MinFreeManager" :)).

Great work, Ele -as always!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Did all these steps. Still I find Launcherpro a massive amount slower compared to 6.2.0. Is there anything else we need to tweak to improve Launcherpro performance on 2.3 since in its current form it's just not fast enough. I am using Smartass with 652/264.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
I use ADW Ex and it runs fine, I'll try Laucher Pro again once it's been reworked by Frederico
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
ADW is also slow, haven't tried the EX version.

Battery drainage

Hi

I have noticed that starting with 1.1 the battery (quickly) drains the same as the ROMS <0.9.

The only ROM that had a good battery was 1.0

Any reasons for that ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
did u try another kernel?

I use the cronos Kernel Evo3 and must say that I never experienced a better battery life than with this rom in combination with the cronos kernel.

Also ADW EX is running fast an smooth, much better than LauncherPro.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TsunKit:
elelinux your a great developer!

what phone are you looking to get when your due an upgrade?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lfvo:
where can i download that kernel and the adw ex?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
ADW EX: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
Cronos Kernel:

http://goo.gl/ih3Ap
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I set this to fast preset and indeed it is very, very responsive. Not as smooth but it doesn't matter since you can get everywhere very quickly. I tried ADW before but never liked it but when set to fast it is very nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I'm hoping for a LG Optimus 2x since I'm keen on that one. €450 in The Netherlands in stock now with Tegra2 chipset.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Which Cronos kernel do you guys use? As I understand there are three of them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adyboss:
I have the 0.7 which has a very good battery life! About twice longer than 6.2...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I don't see it as people complaining but as people pointing out problems or issues. This IS a development forum and the only way ele or any other developer is going to be able to improve the product is if people point out problems. I, for one, am not a developer and I don't know what issues are due to the rom build or which are hardware limitation related or app compatibility issues. You don't find out unless you ask. And often it takes only one person to state a problem and a bunch of people jump in and say "I thought it was just me having that issue."

As for the flash question. You are right it has been asked many times. But not everyone has been around these boards for a long time. This thread alone is now up to 135 pages. Rather than complain about repeat questions, why not just answer it. The more it gets answered the more likely people are to see the answer before they ask again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Just curious, anyone manage to get that Honeycomb music apk to work? I would try it more extensively but finals are taking up my time :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] QuAn64m:
Perhaps a noob question,but is it possible to change the quality settings of the soundrecorder?its really bad
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruikaka16:
from v1.0 to v1.3, i could not customize the ring of sms which i like it very much . what a pity! is there anyone else the similar with me?:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I'm also interested in this answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
If there is someone who feels compelled to write and do a little wiki, the most common questions that abound in the thread, then I would be grateful.

Preferably then where do I find things, etc..

Directory structure on the sd card for custom ringtones, etc.

Then I post it on the first post in the thread
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brat.haneq:
Q: Why can't I install Flash 10 on this ROM? It won't apear in the market...

A: HTC Hero Won't run Flash, due to the hardware limitations. Flash requires ARM 7 processor, and our Hero has only ARM 6

Q: ok, so perhaps I could use Flash Lite?

A: No. Flash lite works only on ROMS with Sense UI. So this is also not an option.

Q: How can I get numbers on the battery in the notification bar?

A: You can find it in Cyanogenmod Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks -> Batery percentage

Q: Do I need to use SetCPU?

A: it's not necessary. in Cyanogenmod Settings -> Performance -> CPU settings You can fine tune the frequencies, just like in SetCPU.

If I remember something else I'll add some Q&A ;)

cheers!

brat.haneq
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
Q: Which kernels are available?

A:

Cronos Kernel EVO2_2

Cronos Kernel EVO2_3

Cronos Kernel EVO3

Q: My GPS is not working properly?

A:

Try to increase the minimum frequency within Cyanogenmod settings

update GPS lib
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shizophren:
So far everything runs great on this rum but i have investigated a problem in games.

For example Farm Story, Bakery Story and Restaurant Story.

The game rums but the graphics won't show up.

Anyone a clue what this could be or cause? Or could anyone try one of this games and test this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thanks for the suggestions to the wiki, I shall look a little more on it tonight.

BTW have added a option on the first post with a little modification on the statusbar background
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikep1993:
I am not sure if this is a problem with this rom but lots of sms get send twice here?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Have you got another sms program istalled like YouLu, sms-popup or handcent? If you do you might have to disable notifications in the stock messaging app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shizophren:
Nobody has a clue? Don't want to change the romo again due to this issues, because its great so far!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Do they games have support for GB ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shizophren:
Yes. They run great on my Desire with Gb. They ran on the hero with 2.2 without problems too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
The updated ROM runs quite smoothly. Still it takes too long to display an incoming call. Is it possible to do anything about it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Another problem is absence of some dictionaries like Russian despite flashing a language pack on a suggestion from a post few pages back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Another thing I have noticed. The battery statistics now bundles almost everything under Android System. In my usage Android System now accounts for 92% of the total usage and Display only 2%. Before that the dsiplay usually was around 30-60% depending on how I used the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
+1 Noticed the same, I was afraid, that something is running with 100 percent in background, but it seems there is no app running, if i can believe Android System Info.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I've gone back to this now i've swapped from Launcherpro to ADW ex to make it usable. I found the same problems again that I found a long time ago:

- Instant messaging is very very unreliable. Whatsapp and Talk seem not to be able to receive my messages with Push. I've reinstalled Whatsapp and it is a "service" but still I receive my messages only when I open it manually again. Both are ignored by any Task killer and not affected.

- Exchange sync/push works very, very patchy. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't. After a reboot I can get more emails again but somewhere between 5 minutes and two hours exchange push breaks.

Can this be kernal/govenor related for processes in the background? I've tried both the included kernal and Cronos but both seem to be affected by this. Time to go back to 6.2.0 again since it's more reliable.

update:

Just realized something broken in both 6.2.0 and this release, HQ video. Only lower quality videos work. Did anyone ever find a fix for this? I think it has been raised many times but I don't believe anyone ever found a fix for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
So far the update 1.3 works really well for me and it solved my issue with Skype logging.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikep1993:
It is not about the notification. other people get my sms twice. I am sure that i send them only once.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shizophren:
Could someone of you please test "Farm Story, Bakery Story or Restaurant Story" and tell me if its work correctly? Would be very nice :-)

It's an important thing for my girlfriend to have these games :P

We have now some problems with these games on this rom. Want just to know if it's our hero or the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I tend to think it's a reporting issue. Because my battery performance is not much different from the previous version and also I can't see some programmes I used (like XDA) in the statistics.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maini85:
+1 also had that issue with WhatsApp now twice (no notification). It also happened to me that I received messages at the time when I woke up the phone from sleep (with previous versions, have flashed 1.3 just this morning)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
Installed your Farm game and it is starting, sound is there also, even grass... but I just cannot do anything :D

So I guess its not working for me either ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shizophren:
Thanks for that :-) The same behaviour as for me.

Hmm don't understand that. Like i said, on my desire with gingerbread it works very fine!

'

Edit: Tested the games now with the v14 nightly cyanogenmod. The same result. So it's to cyanogenmod!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
or it's just that our hero hardware isn't enough...

you can't compare with desire seriously guys
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shizophren:
no it isn't. like i said before these games runs on froyo great on the hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Any1 using autokiller or minfree manager? If yes, which settings are you using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
Autokiller -> Optimum setting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tadik:
so slow rom :((((
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
I'm still having trouble with free memory after flashing the ROM, get about 50-60MB of free space. Wiped everything and flashed, tried it twice and still the same. Any help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jh71:
Can you try to uncheck "Comptability Mode" under "Spare Parts" ?

It helped with the game "Unblock Me Free".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Try downloading live wallpaper again, have replaced them just,hope they work better :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Hey Elelinux, is the v0.2 based off of CM beta 3 with the USB fix? Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I compiled this rom today and put in the fix for usb
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefttobleed:
Thank u elelinux. Live wallpapers working now :) Also, I dnt know if this info is useful or not, but gallery 3d from the market works with this rom .... so was thinking why it wasn't included in the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
Thanks for the update, how's the speed compared to your 6.2.0-based ROM?

And, are apps stored on the ext partition or the fat partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Her0o:
Elelinux....

Thank you for The Great Work on your Roms..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arcblade851:
So I flashed 0.2, everything went well. Went into the market, everything was out of format and there was a T-Mobile recommended option there. So I installed a separate Gapps, reinstalled all the Google Apps, and now none of them don't launch, excluding market. Bleh.

Edit: Rebooted, and now the T-Mobile option is back. And rest assured, I wiped EVERYTHING before I did any of this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
To this, Indeed the included market is bugged. I flashed the CM GB one and now it works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Can`t test at the moment but is the latest 2.2.11 market included?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
The market in this rom has a graphical bug. So you need to flash the CM GAPPS. to fix that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ukripper:
Thanks ele for the update. This rom seems more smoother than 0.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
I had the same issue, but a reboot sorted it out for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Tried that, but didnt work for me :(

But switched back to Cronos GB 1.0.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Ok,but seems the gapps for Hero don`t have the new 2.2.11

market with the security fixes!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
one little question:

Livewallpaper

>>>http://www.elelinux.se/7.0.0/livewallpaper.zip

works on another roms? example : cronos ginger?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yasin12:
Cronos ginger already comes with lwp support. Using the contrast (cant remember the name) live wallpaper and its working fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swiftscythe:
Hey thank you very much for this rom it's almost perfect!

The only issue I have experimented is, when setting brightness to the minimum or auto, after locking and unlocking the device, sometimes (randomly) brightness is set to max.

Is anyone experiencing the same?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] billy26:
great rom elilinux,, thanx for the work mate !! much appreciated....:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] factualpuddle:
So far so good, the only thing i really noticed also were the Market issues, but i'm not really worried about that^^ and my phone won't go to vibrate using the Volume key on the side? Other than that, it seems fairly snappy^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:
great work,,, again :):):) thanks m8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shizophren:
To late ;) flashed just Villain 1.7 with gingerbread theme. :) works on that but would be nice if someone would test this! Would be good to know if this is an problem with the rom or an issue due to settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Enter15:
After two days of use this ROM I can only say that it's very unstable. From time to time it stops showing dialog boxes and the only thing I can do to bring them back is to restart my phone but... to turn it off I need to select this from dialog box which should appear after end call button long-press. Screen goes blurry but dialog box doesn't appear. When this happens lock screen disappears, but I can still unlock phone with menu button or by sliding my finger on the screen.

Another thing is that it's not compatible with Swype keyboard. In Swype, when I double press on any word, it shows the list of similar words but here I've got a dialog box with copy, paste, etc. and behind this box there's a list from Swype. So I need to press back button to hide this dialog box and then I can't select word from Swype's list, because it probably thinks that I closed it with back button.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Got a similar problem a couple of times. I actually blamed ADW but I am not sure.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] feltraveller:
Gotta disagree with the naysayers - the Rom is responsive, has a great Linpack score with recommended CPU speeds, and is a much sleeker package than Froyo offerings I've used.

I use Zeam as it seems to be the snappiest launcher and has more than adequate customization options.

Have to say it again, it's so cool to be running 2.3.3 on a phone that is essentially obsolete. Given it's aged processor it won't be great for games and it won't run flash - and really if that's what someone's looking for then why not get a newer handset - cheap as chips or free through the networks.

Props to Elelinux for his great work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] casonhistoriko:
I´ve been using swype for a while and with different roms, and i think that i have had that response with the "double touch" in all of them.

For me everything is working fine...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Enter15:
My previous rom was Tegro by hawst (Eclair port from MyTouch with Sense) and on this rom everything was fine - double click on a written word and I had a list of similar words. On this rom when I double click on a word I have "Edit text" dialog box with cut, copy and select template in front of Swype list. I think that's because of Gingerbread, because this dialog box shows everywhere (messages, notepad, etc.). I just wanted to notice that Gingerbread rom is not compatible with Swype in 100% and maybe Elelinux can make an addon to disable this dialog box after double click on a word ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xtkme:
I too had similar problems from time to time. Sometimes it's not just the dialogue box, but it happens with the lockscreen itself... The keypad just doesn't showup but in fact it's already there. I'm then forced to blindly tab my finger on the invisible keypad to unlock my phone.

I'm now using ADW EX but i'm pretty sure this problem also occured when i was on launcherpro. So it shouldn't be the launcher bugs. Btw got no clues what causes the problem... Still investigating.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prodrigestivill:
I've seen only once in my 1.3 installation, in earlier versions I never seen and I feel that this ROM use to be very stable.

Another matter for me is the Youtube app, in every version of this firmware I tested for some videos in HQ only plays sound.

May it be a codecs problems? I'm using latest official App, not the one that might come with the ROM.

Could be that the app expects that 2.3.3 support WebM, and Hero didn't?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bigsatan:
Same here, even some menus (under menus - settings) give a black screen. I have the issue for 20 minutes now. No other way than removing the battery ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Same for me. This problems appears after some hours of usage. Suddenly black screens are available. But note, this problem is also available in CM-7 nightlies, as far as I know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Having it too at the moment. So it's not ADW, I don't have it installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xtkme:
If it's just some menus not showing up... For me, rotating the screen back & forth would help trigger it to appear. Very annoying though :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Enter15:
I've got the same problem as well. Lockscreen disappears but it's there and some menus are black then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hero Lover:
Hi elelinux,

tyvm for all your effort, I've tried Arabic and it doesn't works perfectly as I thought, and since this is the only ROM that still updated I thought you might wanna help a little with the problem. Which is the word shows separated.

i.e :

( العربيه ) correct form

( ال ع ر ب ي ه ) wrong form

I've found (lib) files to support Arabic for stock CM7, but sadly the developer didn't post anything to our Hero, so if you can take a look to the files and try something out, would be more appreciated.

Ty once again for all your work.

Seems like Android System process is again draining the battery in 1.3 :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AntonioTrindade:
Strange... I've never had better batery life as in this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I am still not sure that it is one process. I think it is a problem with statistics. Here is my Battery statistics : it does not show either my media player usage nor browser.

Regarding battery life, the phone's power consumption in a sleeping mode is quite good, but any internet browsing drains it like hell.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] casonhistoriko:
For me, "android system" is taking 63%
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luki59:
ma system takes 77%
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Farhadix:
Version name in 1.3 is incorrect. it's written 1.1.1!

also Android System taked 85% in 4h 16m
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] norp:
Same problem here. With the 7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.3.

Sometimes launcher is just gray. Sometimes rotating helps. Once I found no other way than to remove battery.

Release choice

Just wondering before I update to new rom

Is this Elelinux-7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.3 quicker / more stable then

Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero-Speedmachine?

I use elelinux FROYO_2.2.1_Final today and it's good, but want's MOOORE out if my Hero

/J
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AntonioTrindade:
I cannot tell you that it is faster than Elelinux-6.2.0, because I have not tried it.

However, it is definitely faster than FROYO_2.2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
I have to say 6.2.0 is much faster and smoother than 7.0.0. There are still few bugs in 7.0.0, and just feels a little laggy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Maybe you need to reflash. Says 1.3 in mine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
+1 same here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Yeah, it says 1.1.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TITObcn:
Hi everyone,

I TITObcn, and although it took a long time consulting this website is the first time that I get to write.

I installed this ROM and I feel the same that franboje. At the restart / shutdown Hero there is no way back on. It is all the time on the screen with the word Android. It has happened with version 1.1, 1.2 and now 1.3. Every time I flash I made ​​all the wipes.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Where is written 1.1.1 ? because my v is 1.3

In the next release,my little suprice is finished, well almost it's a beta
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
Hey Ele, can you please tell me how to disable Dalvik2SD? I've been struggling with this for some time...

Love the pretty Sense stuff, by the way, can't wait for the update :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Dalvik ? or apps2sd ,because dalvik cache is in the script for apps2sd.

The very easiest way is to remove the ext partition, but then disappear even apps2sd
