Well since 2.3.3 it went backward with GPS and maps and those kind of things. And 2.3.4 did not fix it.

I am gonna try this rom once more and hope that maps will work this time, well navigation. On 2.2 it works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I think I found my map crashing problem, If I mute maps sounds it works fine if it is ping sounds its fine but when it tries to say, over 200 meter recht af, the woman just FC's on me. So tried to place PicoTTS and TTSservice back to see it that fixed it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Flashed herokernel low memory but now i have a big problem.

The phone is LOW ON RAM! I have 28 mb of ram left to use. To use at what? Its barely working! I have lag even when i unlock my screen! Hell, i have lag all over the place and my phone is kept at 19-691 on smartass!

I have looked at processes. Why every process running in my phone requests 13 to 16 mb of ram to work? I mean come on, 16 mb for go pro sms? Or 14 mb for Go Contacts?

Ele, can you please provide me a list with which kernels should work with this build? I want to test Flykernel to see if its any good, or any other kernel because this is killing me out!

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
To the best of my understanding HeroKernel and FlyKernel are practically the same kernel. Besides, the values for the low memory manager are set in the init.rc and not in the kernel it self.

Instead I highly suggest that you download an app to tweak these values, like for example Auto Memory Manager (free from market). Try different settings and see what works best for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Hi erasmusx. I don't want 3rd party apps to edit these settings. I want my apps to not eat so much memory. I come from froydvillain 1.7.3 using flykernel and an app certainly didn't took 16 mb ram to run! even on background. something is not right here.

Yeah, flashed flykernel the agressive one and now my phone has 50 mb ram free... Still not enough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Like I tried to explain before, the kernel does not set these values but the init.rc (which is usually packaged with the kernel but will not be replaced by a generic update). I assume you flashed the FlyKernel generic update, hence you did not change these values. I assume you are suffering from a placebo effect.

In general I am also against memory killer apps. But for example the app I mentioned above, and also some others, only set these parameters and do interfere with the normal operation of memory manager which is built into the kernel. I still recommend you install this app, at the very least to play with it and find which values are best for you. After you know which values to use you can set them in the init.rc or in a init.d script or in whichever way you find most convenient.

Finally, I think Ele has made two versions of HeroKernel available on the main post of this ROM - one with low memory optimizations and one without, did you try them both? Possibly this is a easier solution for you (although you can reach better performance by tweaking these values yourself).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
I've returned to the stock kernel the one more agressive. For now seems a little more better. I didn't flashed your tweaks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Hi all,

I need few advices. I want a stable phone (usable phone) and stock or villainrom didn't work as fast as i would like.

I heard that Elelinux is great rom etc.

Anyway, I have a few questions.

What doesn't work? What kind of bugs can i see in this version? Is this best rom out there (i mean speed and stability).

I had lots of problems whan calling or recieving call in villainrom. And it's Sense, and slow. (don't really understand why some people say its fastest out there).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iop tha man:
sorry m8, try page one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Np m8. First page didn't answer my questions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luki59:
I tried to install adobe air on this rom, but the market said that this rom do not support adobe air. Have anyone a solution for this problem? Is it a custom Rom problem or is it generally a hero problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iop tha man:
if you check the changelog (wich is rather big i just checked) you can see it is pretty much bug free for ages. only in latest version GPS seems to bug some of us.

Elelinux usually doesnt let bugs live very long...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
It's a Hero problem, the heros hardware doesn't support flash.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
a few posts back I asked a question about the battery life. Some strange things happened, but I don't want to pollute this thread so much, so I've created a thread in Q&A, here. Some advice would be appreciated :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Almost 1hour with RunKeeper, gps on, screen off. No problems at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frige:
Interesting !

Will retest over the weekend with 2.7 and look what the difference might be causing the screen off problems on my side... (Set CPU setings ??)

frige
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Ok, then I ask straight.

What about calling programs? There is no sense, can mean that they have lag on hero? I mean when you push call button, you wait, then you have lag in vibro feedback when typing number etc.

No multitouch? Or am i wrong? (even in browsers..)

Lag when you turn display ON. Yes / no?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
I'm using smartrass 19-710Mhz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
1. There will always be some lag on the Hero.. It is a darn old phone.

2. If you did some research you would have known that gingerbread CM7 has some lag with showing who is calling.

3. With typing I always sugest to people to turn of the popup when typing and change it to vibrate. Removes the keyboardlag for me.

4. There is multitouch....

last time i was saying my woman of navi always was not so much in the mood to talk. well since I left some apps in, TTSService and picotts. she is back in the mood to tell me to go links or recht. Soo I am a happy dude now :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
what do you mean by "turn off the popup when typing"? thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well in the options of the keyboard look for show popup when pressing a key, or something in that order XD I always turn it off. works like a charm after that :D

EDIT: Popup on keypress. That one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Didn't know about that one, but it made it much faster! Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Interesting, how do you enable/get voice for your navigation? I could never get any voice direction whenever I use google navigation :(

I could always see TTS Service and Pico TTS under application management or Titanium backup. But both were in 0kb size and there's no setting that I could access. Any help in getting voice for my navi will greatly be appreciated. Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frige:
Tested a lot with GPS toaday:

on mode: perfect

screen off mode: fc after less than a minute when all my programs are installed

then i tested different setcpu settings (176..576 smartass, 3xx..576 smartass, screen off profile with ondemand, constant 576 ... --> no impact at all

then i tested standard setting backight: no impact

then i fell back to fresh loaded 2.7 and just 2 GPS programs (Maverwas and Locus) loaded: thougth this was the breaktrough as it run for minutes ... but after some minutes - less than 15 min again a fc

So looks for me the available memory has some impact on this effect...

falling back to speedhero V4 as i meed stable GPS this evening

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
In wich country do you live and what setting of language is your phone on? Mine is on Dutch and well it sound almost like my daughter, She things not. But thats because she is not yet old enough to have that voice. XD sooo...

Well Dutch works and sounds great, English well works sorta, She sounds so robotic and crappy :P sooo Dutch for me XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
I live in Singapore and language setting is English. Do navi voice just work straight out for you? When I open the Navigation Apps, I will get a prompt 'Google Maps Navigation is not yet available in this location' (had turned on 3G and GPS all ok). Is this the reason why there is no voice direction even though I am still able to get driving direction using map view. Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pitel:
FCs would be "fine". My phone sometimes reboot when getting GPS fix. (Latest radio, completely clean ROM installed just this monday.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tomasitas:
nice job,the best Rom I have ever tried, but I have little problem, I can't add new installed widgets on my home screen, I just can't see them in choosing widget meniu
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Check if they are stored on your SD card, widgets have to be on the internal memoryto work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wdaccache:
I sometimes have the same problem... Is there any solution for that?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radix1980:
I can confirm the GPS issue.

I was using navdroyd and the phone rebooted.

Few days ago google navigator made my phone reboot.

Android Ad-hoc support hack/wpa_supplicant

This ROM is awesome,

but if you could make the wifi works for my transformer, that would be perfect.

Or could you please tell me what version of the wpa_supplicant is this ROM built with, so that I could ask for help in other thread.

about Android Ad-hoc support hack/wpa_supplicant

Please HELP if possible!

Network Error

I'm not sure if this is ROM related, settings related, google related or what. When I try to access the Market I get the Network Error msg. This happens about 90% of the time whether I am connected through mobile data or through wifi. I seem to be able to connect with my browser so I'm thinking it's a Market problem. Is it just me or are others experiencing this too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marchard:
Please have a look into your logcat (eg with alogcat). Do you find something like: wpa_supplicant set_key: wrong key?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tomasitas:
thank You very much,that helps me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Teddy2k:
I'm loving this ROM... thank you ele for your hard work!

I understand that WiFi uses quite a bit of battery, so have been keeping it off lately and my battery life is much better now! However, my battery seems to drain very fast when talking on a long call (say 20-30 mins in length). I've had times where the battery was at 60% when I started a call and was at 20% when I ended the call. I haven't seen anyone post about this, but is this normal behaviour?

Currently running 2.7 with radio version 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Using the same radio version and i don't have this issue. Have you checked your cpu governor? Is it set to smartass? I recommend using smartass governor because it was supposed to be the best governor for Flykernel (herokernel of this rom is based on flykernel build by erasmusx).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Teddy2k:
It was set to ONDEMAND, so I have switched it to SMARTASS with the default settings of min 245/max 576. Will see how that goes.

For reference sake, here's a screenshot of the battery usage graph from today... you can clearly see where I've made phone calls. The drops aren't quite as drastic as I made it sound in my last post, but still odd that the battery level sharply drops with every call.

I have same issues with the latest one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radix1980:
Hi,

It is interesting, I have the latest radio (update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03) and my phone reboots if I use the GPS.

Could be it the cause of our GPS issues??

Thank you very much!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frige:
Checked: had also the very latest Radio on (xx.17.03). Went to xx.15.14 and retested teh GPS topic: still same situation like with old radio: reboots after screen off mode.

--> ws interesting idea - but seems we have other difference beween users having no GPS problems vs. the ones with problems.

I use ApptoSD - duxford: are you also using apptosd?

setting the memory

Hi Ele,

I just wanna know Your opinion to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

i have implemented it, and now it looks that I have enough memory for all my needs.

It's just subjective or worth to implement to the rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The rom is updated ,enjoy read changelog before installation :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes it is. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The idea is not silly at all, but must test myself first before I add something extra like that, would rather not put on much more because of hero hardware limitations, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radix1980:
Hi Ele,

Did you had a look to the GPS issues?? I know that the question could be annoying but I had some reboots with 2.7 and I wonder if I should update to this rom from speedmachine rom.

Thanks for your work!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Manneman32:
I actually found a bug in the latest 2.8...

Note that I installed with wiping cache and dalvik cache...

I have my screen set to Automatic rotation... it sets all apps and menus in landscape mode and they don´t return if I flip the phone... any idea how to fix it?

Market Missing

Hi,

It's been long time without posting and flashing Rom.

So, I installed your v2.8, and I can't have access to Market. There is no icon in app drawer.

However, I can see it in the app manager.

I don't know if I did something wrong.

Anyone else has this issue?

It sounded like a great rom, will wait for a v2.9.

Thx

Hi Ele!

Thank you very much, best ROM so far!

Great work!

But nevertheless one thing left:

When i install cyanogen boot animation with cwm it does not apply it and still uses tours?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] johnny crap:
Do i have to wipe c + dv before rom install AND wipe c + dv before boot animation install?

Maybe you could add like feeyo a list in which row ones have to install your stuff:

1. Wipe ALL

2. Rom Install

3. Reboot

4. ....

This could be helpfull for everybody :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
maybe you could learn to read second message on first page...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] johnny crap:
And maybe you could learn to read a post twice before you reply. Here is not an info about the order in which you have to flash the stuff. Additionally i hear it for the first time that it is neccesary to wipe c + dc before flashing an option!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
lol temper rising? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well if you are a little bit more informed in flashing roms then its fairly obvious how to do it, and well clear the cache and dalvic seams very clear to me, and it doesnt matter if you do it after you flashed the new rom file or not. just do it in the same sesion in the recovery as the actuall rom install you are planning to do.

To ***** around that it is not written out in step 1 to a million well that would be just silly to do so. And well Elelinux his texts are clear enough for any noob to understand what to do.

He also stated, clear dalvic after any option flash you do to make sure you dont run into bootloops. clear enough for me.

Battery Consumption ?

Hi,

Is anyone running on 2.8 seeing excessive battery drains ? Last night, I installed 2.8 and rebooted phone couple of times, played with it for a while and left the phone with battery 82%. Woke up this morning to see battery was reduced to 60%. I did not add anything under a/c and sync. So it was factory reset phone with new ROM on it.

In calibration the tilt reacts
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
maybe that's app related? I also saw this thread with the same question on the same app.

-EDIT- nvm that was a quick mistake, that thread is about doodle jump (it has the same basics though, that's where my mind went wrong ;) )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagor:
I had the same issue after upgrade from 2.7 to 2.8. Wiped cache and dalvik, Market icon disappeared. Already logged to google account, but still no Market and Gmail and Maps FCs. I used TitaniumBackup to start Market, downloaded latest Gmail & Maps. After "integration" (apps moved to flash) Gmail and Maps are working well. After first start of Gmail app Market appeared in app drawer again, but this time as "Usługa Market" ("Market Service" in my language).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] johnny crap:
Oh, okay, maybe you are such a brilliant freak who is so hyper intelligent that it is fairly obvious how to do it, but maybe, not every person has the time or motivation to spend his whole life with things like flashing an option.

I would prefer women and sports!

Let just Elelinux decide wether he wants to include such a little how to in his rom description or not.

And you little freak, just calm down...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Installed the 2.8 this morning, no issues so far and battery life still great for me.

Not a freak and I am calm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
If you want battery life close the data connection. without it i get a lot of battery live (even 3 days). Do you have your processor overclocked?:D

It depends on what settings you use. I use mine at 19/691 and if i use games, there advantages / disadvantages => no lag / battery killer :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
if you get problems, the best way is to do a FULL wipe. i prefer that all the time, this time from 2.7 to 2.8 just updated and didn't had any problems. if you have a wireless connection home it's more simple to do a full wipe (backup only contacts;) ), making a back-up of applications isn't my pleasure...

How to switch predictive text on

Hello, amazing rom, I installed the newest version this morning on the Hero of my friend. It works great.

I only have one question. The predictive text doesn't seem to work. I can't find any other post on it, so maybe I am doing something wrong.

I have put the predictive text on and I am using the standard keyboard, but nonetheless, I don't see any words coming up while I am typing. Tested for multiple items but none works.

Does anybody have a clue?

First of all i would like to thank elelinux for this Rom an aal the others he has made so far. I have enjoyed them all.

My question is, i have noticed my SD card getting corrupted twice now after flashing version 2.7. Is there anything i can do to prevent this,cause i find it unworkable to be making nand+ext backup every single week.

thnx
