Try this app, it always solve my gps issues: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.Double.FasterFix&feature=search_result

I did not know, thanks for the info it is very useful :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wayferer:
Nice! Thank you for the heads up.

My bottom screen goes crazy sometimes i have to tape many times or too hard on the screen to get to the app gread or to make space on the keyboard. I have this probleme for 2 days now i was using LV with 2.6 and switch to the default kernel but still have the same problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
I have the same for a while now. I think a horizontal row is broken in my hero and i had to take the trackball. I am going to buy a new phone soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
:s hope there is something else to do other than buying a new phone :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Asskicker-:
I'm using Launcher Pro with this, and whenever I enter an application and come back to the launcher. It has to "re-render" everything, it takes a very long time to load it again. It's like the process has been killed. :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
Change to ADW or GO launcher. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VinceAshbySmith:
I'm also using Launcher Pro but not had an issues with it to be honest. To be perfectly honest LP seems to be the smoothest and quickest out of all the launchers for this current build! Any specific apps this happening with?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Asskicker-:
I just updated to 2.6 and it doesn't seem to be happening any more.

Haven't tried all my apps yet though, I'll report back later.

And I'll have to agree, LP seems to be the smoothest for me!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marchard:
This is definitive an hardware issue (try this to test). I had that too. You can find discussion here. For some (including me) worked to heat up the upper screen part, because there is some issue with the adhesive there. Read the link. Otherwise changing the touchscreen will also work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orrebo:
Bugs I have experienced are:

- The cursor/marker live it's own lives at times.

- The camera stopped working.

- The sound stopped working.

- Fuss with sms that I don't get.

- Popup for go sms pro, handsent sms, etc. The popup doesn't show up at times (probably because it gets killed due to low memory)

Was no problems in 2.5

Run 2.6.1 with latest las venturas kernel.

Do not know if this has anything to do with the rom.

Have discovered that the market could mess.

When I try to install an app, sometimes it won't be downloaded.

It appears that it is being downloaded in notification area, but not in the market.

After the download is complete is it not happens anything.

Sorry for the bad English. Have used a translation application.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Asskicker-:
I have that too sometimes. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
Found this topic this morning, found some videos on youtube too about this problem. I think i'll try this later. Thank you anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucky Thirteen:
Well, it's OK so far. It took nearly one minute to lock on satellites but from there it has work flawlessly. I cheat it a couple of times to have him recalculate my route and did it without an hiccups.

The satellite view and the traffic view do work too.

That's for me. My camera works also I took may pictures the last 2 days and nothing to complained.

Hope it work well for you too. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Experimental 2.6.1 is giving me problems with installation from the market where the phone reboots (did a full wipe of everything for a clean start). Gonna try 2.6 now and see if all is solved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] busbutt:
I used this app to set my region to North America. It doesn't seem to make any difference - I am still unable to get a GPS lock after 10+ minutes.

EDIT: Actually, a search of the Hero forums seems to suggest that Hero GPS work poorly when trying to get a lock at a window, which is what I have been doing. I'll try it again when I am next outside and see if it makes a difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
First boot of the 2.6 with wireless and inside my room: gps locks within 10 seconds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holzfisch:
use gpsstatus from market

Wifi problems

Hello everyone!

I was waiting a long time to post this request, because i wanted to test a lot of different circumstances. Unfortunately i couldn't figure it out...

Problem: Wifi connection drops while downloading (podcasts with google listen). Unregulary, can't find any cause or rule for that. Sometimes a 150MB download comes down, but most of the time it fails (google listen says: connection timed out) within the first 50MB... For normal use (means everything except big podcast downloads) wifi works good.

Here a short log snippet:

06-16 09:59:02.214 E/wpa_supplicant( 334): Set_key: Wrong Key
06-16 09:59:02.214 E/wpa_supplicant( 334): Set_key: Wrong Key
06-16 09:59:02.214 E/wpa_supplicant( 334): Set_key: Wrong Key
06-16 09:59:02.214 E/wpa_supplicant( 334): Set_key: Wrong Key
06-16 09:59:02.214 E/wpa_supplicant( 334): Set_key: Wrong Key
06-16 09:59:02.214 V/WifiMonitor( 221): Event [CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys]

(see attachment for details)

My first thought was, that it could be a problem with my wifi router, but i changed encryption from WPA2 to WPA, reseted that thing several times, disabled all MAC filtering... nothing worked. Also booting my Hero does not help. And finally: my girlfriends Hero with stock rom has not this problems... :confused:

I'm using atm Ele 7.1.0 v2.6 (and had this problem with several other previous version, but can't tell if that started at some dedicated point) with HeroKernel 12a and Baseband 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14.

Can anyone tell me what's going wrong? Has anyone same problems?

What does this wpa_supplicant message mean?

What can i change and test more?

Thanks in advance!

Bye, Marc.

Edit: I'm now sitting in university and have here exactly same wifi probs. They use here cisco routers with WPA2 enc and 802.1x auth... Same "wrong key" error like described above. That tells me, the connection loss depends not on router or encryption method. Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] busbutt:
My GPS issues continue. This morning, on my cycle to work I had GPSStatus running on my phone for about 10 minutes. It found 3 satellites only in that time, and couldn't lock onto any of them. I had no data connection during that time, if that makes any difference. This is after using FasterFix to set my region to North America.

Come to think of it, I don't believe I've had GPS working successfully since my original stock ROM (Sense 2.1). All the custom ROMS I have used have been Elelinux (first 2.2.1, then Speedmachine, now this one). Has anyone experienced or heard of similar issues? I guess I could try reverting to my stock ROM (or at least a rooted one) to see whether that works, but I'd rather not have to flash again so soon.

EDIT: Okay, I am officially an idiot. Tasker was enabling GPS only within certain apps, and GPSStatus which I just installed wasn't one of them Doh! I think in future I'll just leave GPS on, as I here it doesn't really eat battery unless an app is using it. Once I fixed this, I got a GPS fix within about 2 minutes, which isn't gloriously quick but it works at least :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattijsier:
elelinux and other dev's thanks for all the developments of the hero roms. i have got a new mobile (Htc Sensation) now. thanks for everything :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sanderg:
KPN isn't shipping the sensation yet? So either you work for KPN or you switched without updating your logos :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
thats awesome......can you release more RAM memory, 49mb is an lower memory in my opinion,correct me if i am wrong!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
You can't just expand your RAM with a new software. What you CAN do is to tweak the autokiller to kill apps at different values with this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rs.autokiller
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
what do you mean with:

''You can't just expand your RAM with a new software. ''
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
RAM is hardware dependent. The Hero has 288 MB of RAM and that's the way it is.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
elelinux,nice work like always my girlfriend HERO just fly.....maybe in the future you will make also an LITE version :D will be nice :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Will try over the weekend to build v2.7 depending on time :) have been busy ATM with other stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
thanks for your answer..... v2.7 will be an lite version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Have you got an HTC Desire? Is your work on the HTC Hero allmost done? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes I have a Desire, got it cheaply could not resist buying it,but still working on Hero.Has no plans to start development Desire, but has built a personal rom to myself. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No,but have been thinking about building a script for a light version, then the question is what should be removed.Please come with little input what is to be removed, all themes, theme manager, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
i really do not know,some unuseful apps i am not so skilled in rom developing :D

i trust in you that you will make an awesome light ROM ;) i really like to see more free RAM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junguit:
Could remove those you did in the previous lite version...but add them as a option as you also did before. Because I still want your elegance theme but others might not want it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I would say remove everything that you can download from market and XDA in the lite version:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It was probably that way my thoughts went :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
do not remove theme or theme chooser,just remove some unuseful apps....as habarug said above.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Hi!

Only a question i.e. comment concerning a possible light-version. Since I use CR, whatever version, the first thing after the first reboot of the system is to remove with RootExplorer all those apk-files in /system/app I never use, roughly 10-15 apps. This only takes roughly 2min and is very easy. Afterwards I flash the htc-fonts and 2d-gallery, thats it. And as far as I have observed, I never ever have had any complains about this procedure. Is their something wrong with this method, I really don't know? And if not, why creating a light version? In this case I have to add them via market which I think should take probably longer, or? Or do I miss something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
you are right,too! but many developers make also lite version and they know better then us which apps drain more battery,which apps eat more RAM and so....but,please make an list with removed apps from your phone,maybe will be useful for me and other users! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
OK, the point that developer better know which apps can savely be removed is an argument. Of course, their are further apps which I also probably will remove, but I am not sure whether they are needed for the system, so I leave them.

I am using LP and only one background since ever I have used the phone. And I only do not use HTC.elegance from ele, because of the 4.1MB which it uses. If it is the default theme, and it does not need more space as usual, this would be fine for me.

Anyway, here is my list of apps, which I usually remove, hopfully I have not forgotten one:

Androidian

Calculator

CarHomeLauncher

DSPManager

Development

ELWallpapers

Email

FileManager

GenieWidget

HTC.Elegance

Launcher2

LiveWallpapersPicker

Music

PicoTts

Protips

Stk

ThemeChooser

ThemeManager

TtsService

VoiceDialer

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jed2191:
Had two random reboots today, while I wasn't using the phone. One in my pocket in town and another while it was just sitting on my desk. Bit concerning, I have no idea what it could be, unless it's that bug that was in the original Hero kernel but I'm pretty sure it was amended in FlyKernel 11 or 12. Running 2.6.1 Beta at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
Did you overclocked the ROM? if so,please use elelinux values described in OP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thanks, :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Deanodirector:
adw launcher

Hi,

Sorry for the noob question. the adw launcher option zip isn't signed, how do i fix this. also, can i just install other launchers from the market without an impact on performance? cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattijsier:
I know that :P. My contract expired at kpn so that's why I went to vodafone. and then I chose for the HTC sensation

and I forgot to change my image :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
What is this?? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1128134
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
There is nothing new and you need not worry either, this rom is based on the latest cm-source including security fix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The rom is updated,have also added some script for light version option's,enjoy :)

Have a nice weekend :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
i have an problem,just install new version and i do not have icons and notifications in notifications bar!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm,I have tried to flash the rom many times now and no problems,try to reflash it but wipe cache and dalvik cache before
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
i followed your instructions from page 2,so yes i wiped cache and dalvik cache..... any other solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
flash it again over top. once in a while these things happen with any rom, just reflash, it often solves the problems for me.

good luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
reflashed twice,same problem! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
How about md5sum? Have you checked. that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
ele, all is missing is that button ''clear'' to clear the notifications from the status bar,status bar was somehow deactivated...just now i find
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
@elelinux : which kernel is used in 2.7? Herokernel12a or herokernel low memory?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Same as in v2.6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KSTu:
look elelinux.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zeng0d:
hi all

would need more information on how to use this app to resolve my gps issues.

a-gps works fine on google maps, however have been unable to get a more accurate GPS fix.

have done a clean install (wiped data, etc) and problem still persists on 2.6

many thanks in advance.

also, my thanks to elelinux for his hard work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
The clear button isn't there until you get any notifications...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tcblues:
I would like to have TTS, but not the rest... are these the only apks I have to delete from the script:

delete SYSTEM:app/PicoTts.apk

delete SYSTEM:app/TtsService.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jamierc:
but there's nothing there to clear!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SypherNL:
After flashing my sound/notifications are no longer playing. The setting for a ringtone does not make any sound.

My steps to upgrade from 2.6 to 2.7 were:

Wiped dalvik

Flashed 2.7

Flashed SDcard speedup

Flashed Las Venturas kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Manneman32:
Witch Kernel is recommended for day to day use? Is the best included so it´s just for me to install it? Sorry for the noob question, but I get a little confused from the releasenotes.

// Manneman
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well the releasenotes is nothing to be confused off, i'm only little lazy, can not be bothered to write a lot,the kernel wich is included in my opinion is the best kill apps little quicker.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Strange,try to reflash the rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
try this :

-wipe cache

-wipe dalvik cache.

-flash 2.7

-flassh......

..........

-don't flash las venturas, just use hero kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gone2Plaid:
Is there a way to exclude certain apps from being killed? I use Locus for geocaching, and to save battery, I turn off the screen while walking. Tried 7.1.0-v2.7 for the last couple days, but whenever I turned off the screen, within a few minutes, the phone would reboot. If it's not possible to exclude certain apps, what kernel should I try?

In the meantime, I've switched back to your 2.2.1 ROM. I'd love to be able to use 2.7 all the time, though - touch responsiveness and battery life over those two days were generally greatly improved! Thanks for all your hard work!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Sd Card questions. Do I have to reflash the sd card tweak after flashing a new rom or does the tweak stick?

Also, I want to get an 8Gb sd card. What is the procedure for formatting the new card and transferring data from the old card to the new one so that I can simply boot up my phone with the new card installed and carry on seamlessly?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Manneman32:
Well... I have given up on the Hero in favour of another phone and handed my Hero over to my son. I thougt I would give the Hero a facelift before I gave it to him. I made a clean format on the SD-card and a total wipe of the Hero. After some questions I flashed this ROM on to the Hero.

MY GOD... the Hero really came back to life! After playing around with different ROM´s the last months this one rules bigtime. I can´t believe it... It´s with big sorrow I now hand the Hero over to my son. At the same time I will still be active on the forum to keep up with the latest development on this ROM.

Thank You, Elelinux for this amazing ROM and all your hard work!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SypherNL:
A reboot was enough, but I assume it might happen again...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flight777:
Mounting window disappears again :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radix1980:
Hi Ele,

I've been trying this rom, 2.7....It is almost PERFECT!!!! thank you!!

One issue,

youtube does not work, if I try to run youtube, it Force Closes....

Thank you very much!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Try reinstalling it from the market after you've unistall it from your system/apps. Also note that Youtube is not working properly these days.

One question. This ROM has Libgles 1.1?

Also, after i've flashed the sd card tweak, in recovery if i want to wipe dalvik, or to turn on usb ms toggle i get the error message: error: run 'wipe dalvik' via adb!

using AmonRa 1.7 i guess. Anyone having this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radix1980:
You are rigth!!!

Now it works!!!!!

THANK YOU
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
No problem radix1980. glad that worked for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Manneman32:
Using the SD-card tweak... does that do the same as this?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sdincrease.it&feature=search_result

// Manneman
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
if you look at that link, the developer posted this, quote: "Many thanks to brainmaster, XDA Member that discover this.".

so yeah, it's the same thing. the only thing is that you don't have an app for that :). it's just integrated into the system.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Manneman32:
Ok...got it!

However... shouldn´t that App tell me that the size is already set when I run it the first time then? Even if I use the SD Card Tweak?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Maybe it's not that smart :). But why do you want to use that app for tweak? The tweak is made and it's clearly faster this way. If you work an app for this it will override the tweak you made inside the system because that zip tweak made some changes in the build.prop into the android system.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Hi. Thanks for this great rom. Is it possible to run the lite script via gscript?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Manneman32:
Ok... just asking... :) I´m learning as I go along. Thanx for the advice!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Ok, so here is the deal. Wiped everything, factory reset, format SD card, partition sd card ext 2, installed elelinux v2.7, wiped dalvik, installed sd card tweak, wiped dalvik, installed stock computer, wiped dalvik, installed ubuntu fonts.

restarted the phone, set up cpu, restored all my apps with titanium, installed go launcher, deleted some stock apps because i don't need them (like music player, browser, stock launcher) and i have one problem.

My physical buttons aren't working. If i press the home button, my screen goes on but that's it. And the button is set to go to my 1st home screen. If i press the call button, my Go Contacts will not come on the screen, and also if i press the magnifying glass, the rom will not give me the option for quick google search. also it seems that my screen will not go to lock screen.

don't say that i need to reflash the rom because I will go crazy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lovermed:
i have a question Elelinux .. your rom is great .. i noticed a diffrence between your rom and cronos ginger .. when i long press end button your rom lags but CG don't and its more smoother .. is it the kernal ?

sorry fo my bad english.. thx :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
could be kernel related and also could be animation related. have you tried to increase your cpu speed and maybe the governor? i personally have smartass at 19-691. or try to disable surface dithering in cyanogen settings - performance and then reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
You are not the first of these concerns, most often it is because the TB,when you restore, you must be sure that it does not come with any system settings.

Many have wierd errors associated with TB
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Thanks for the heads up for the future. I've indeed restored apps + data. Something must got wrong and f**d up the system. I've flashed again the rom on top after i've wiped the dalvik cache and now it works fine.

Maybe someone will have the same issue. This commonly issues should be posted on the first screen to avoid such posts as mine.

So if your psyhical buttons doesn't work after you've restored things using Titanium Backup, go to recovery mode, wipe dalvik cache **ONLY** and then reflash the rom on top of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Nobody with help here? I now have the new card and am waiting to use it pending advice from you guys. Do I need an ext partition? If so which one do I use. What size? How do you copy the files from the ext partition or do I just select all visible files and folders on the old card and copy them? Do I need a swap file? If so what size? Some of you must have upgraded your cards. What is the most painless method? Thanks.
