Yes, I had that in mind, but I wouldn't like to lose the Apps2SD capability. Just want to move the Dalvik cache back to the internal memory. I can't read scripts that well, but there is some mentioning of a file in the /data folder called .noapp2sd and .nodalvik2sd. Tried making them since they don't exist and rebooted, but nothing happened...

So all in all what I want to do is keep apps2SD, but disable Dalvik2SD, thus moving Dalvik cache back to the internal memory of the device.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well will look at script again,maybe I will built some script with only apps2sd without moving the dalvik cache to ext partion as a option
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
Thank you very much, looking forward to the new script :D

Anything I can do to disable it until then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
That's a nice suprise... But please take a look at the annoying menu bug... It happens every time the phone is booted up for more than a few hours now :)

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
I like this ROM really, cos is the first ROM that I use which has translation in my native language SK ;-), /and I have to say is really difficult to understand ...)

according the internal space i found something what i don't understand. If I put the app to the SD card the internal storage growth. actually I has 95 MB free and before there was the mentioned 50-60 MB. Maybe is something wrong with the market updates (they goes to internal???). Subjective I thing the 1.3 is a little bit more sluggish than the older, but still the BEST GB ROM for our Hero!!!!

So Elelinux one more time thanks for this ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] casonhistoriko:
wow! that seems nice...

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruikaka16:
Maybe you should reflash it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hyjwonder:
I had the same wrong version number. It's because you flash the maps3d-updated after flashing the ROM v1.3, the Maps3d will change the version number :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Hmmm....now where have I heard THAT before?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
In the about phone section of settings. I did install the patch for the memory issue on the upgrade path to 1.3 maybe that is related?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
Also flashed 3d maps

Annoying sms-bug

Hey guys,

since flashing the version 1.2 i do have a strange bug and i can´t figur out what the my mistake is..

i just sporadically receive sms´ .. i also tried a clean install of the rom but still the same problem ?? :(

does anyone has a idea how to fix it?? i´m running on telekom.de provider

best regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Of course forget to update 3D maps script ,sorry :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
how long for the new version, being impatient as it looks very good, is the menu problem sorted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
The unforgivable sin of xda - asking for an ETA ;-)

Considering how quickly and regularly Elelinux updates this ROM I would think that we'll have a new one in the next 24hrs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
yep can wait sort of, but its a great rom, great work, take your time over it, looking forward to seeing it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ron_per:
Hi all,

After two weeks with CM7 nightly #6, I installed today Elelinux 7 V1.3.

I have a problem with the weather (fancy widget and GB weather). It doesn't get my location.

Anyone got a solution ?

In addition, at CM7 I had the calendar widget on full screen (4X4).

Is there a way to configure it on Elelinux also ?

Thanks,

Ron
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
I had that problem with Fancy too, just set your location in the settings manually.

Concerning the calendar issue, I think it's launcher-related. In ADW when you try to put a widget on the screen it asks you for the size. You could try that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adisan2002:
Congratulations for your great job, elelinux.. Now and for ever ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Did anyone manage to solve the "Android system" sucking out battery like mad? I just use my phone for internet for about a total of 44 minutes and lost 12%. Wtfreak.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
Same here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
@Proz0r

Testing new script now for apps2sd (fingers crossed :D ) hopefully all works then you will get tomorrow.

EDIT: BTW maps 3D is updated

EDIT2 : It work,also tried a backup with about 60 apps installed, flashed the script to see the results

elelinux@elelinux-computer:~$ adb shell
# ls
acct init sd-ext
cache init.goldfish.rc sdcard
config init.hero.rc sys
d init.rc system
data mnt ueventd.goldfish.rc
default.prop proc ueventd.hero.rc
dev root ueventd.rc
etc sbin vendor
# cd sd-ext
# ls
app app-private

Here you have it http://www.elelinux.se/7.0.0/apps2sd_no dalvik-cache_move.zip dont forget to wipe dalvik cache and cache before flashing the script

Things to consider also the loss of space in the system, in my case about 40 mb

Battery drain problem

Battery drains in 8 hours(1 night!) in standby mode (60% by Android System). Some solutions ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I keep on trying to find a sensible solution for those of you who have the problem, personally I do not have those problems, and most other users.

But but see if I upload a new rom today there has been a lot of updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
This battery problem must be quite tricky. One of the issues is that phone usage varies from one person to another, sometimes immensely. Also the hardware could be different as well despite we all have HTC Heroes.

I've read testimonials of people who could go for 2-3 days without recharging and those whose batteries was drained in just a few hours.

In my case if I do not use the phone, switch it to 2G or GPS Auto, I can probably squeeze 2 days of the battery. Listening to music also does not drain my battery much. However, as soon as I start using the Internet either with a browser (I use Dolphin) or with any other app (XDA or Facebook) I lose 1% of battery a minute or something like that.

For example, yesterday I listened to some music on the way to work (15min) and another 15 min during lunch. As soon as I come to the office I switched from 3G to 2G. I checked emails as usual and my Twitter notifications, weather updates, Gmail notifications were all on. I made a couple of quick calls and checked this Forum once in the browser. So after 10 hours of usage I had more than 50% battery left. Then on my way home I listened to some music again (another 10-15 min) and still have around 50%. Then I was on the train for 40 min and burnt about 35% of the battery by just reading this forum, ordering food from Ocado and reading a short story in Google Docs. I listened to an audiobook on my way from the station for 20min. When I plugged in teh charger, the battery showed 12% left.

My point is that the Internet drains the battery like hell, while on stand-by the usage is quite good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Yeah this is a common experience of people using roms since 2.1, and no-one knows why some people's experience is different from others!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I'm quite tempted to install VR12 and see if it's anyway different.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
I have, it's almost like it doesn't even need a battery compared to this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Look at this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12031116&postcount=1440
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
I have, thank you very much for that, but I was referring to the battery drain issue in this case. Personally, I don't care much for the draining because I charge my phone every day when I'm not in school or outside.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Have to say I have no worse battery life in this Rom than any other. The only difference is that the latest cm7 ROMs I have used for some reason do not individually specify each item that the android system uses when checking battery stats.

Thanks again elelinux for your great work :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hyjwonder:
Thanks for your hard work Ele! I will be right here waiting for the fresh update ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ekramsam:
Kernel?

Can anyone tell me wht kernel do I have to use with this ROM? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
This ROM comes with Flykernel-12a installed .. not sure if Elelinux has modified it but it's probably the best kernel out there
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I have found the bug that causes the android system is working all the time,will update tonight or latest tomorrow. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes thatś right,a little modification added tun.ko for vpn and the default settings for cpu frequency, and rename it to Herokernel-12a
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RatTSnake:
wow, thats really good news, thx;)

so time 4 few beer(s) ... cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Armrhero:
Goodnight Elelinux,

For some time I use different versions of your rom according to the evolution of it. Many people encounter problems or minor bugs that I do not know, for cons for me when I use a gingerbread version, the touch screen to lose its sensitivity, while in other versions no problems (I specify that the layer of the touch screen has been changed, as many heroes as it was defective regardless of the version used). Is there no something to do at the Touch Driver to make it can be a little more sensitive.

Like everyone else I look forward to version 1.4, to hasten to try it and see its evolution.

Thank you for all work performed.:):):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The rom is updated,please read changelog before installation :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
1.4 seems to be online ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
That's a great rom thank you elelinux
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
The only one problem is that the home constantly closed when open other app and take some times to reopen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
did a wipe cache/dalvik, booted then rebooted and i don't see any difference in theme

now tried a full wipe, rebooted too and still no changes
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
It would be awesome if someone could post some screenshots of the new sense theme ;)

EDIT: oh, found the screenshots, it looks awesome ele
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
just about to flash looking forward to it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well you have to choose it from theme chooser
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
doh... gonna check that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
just checked speed test on the rom i get a 2mb/s download on the computer i get 6 shouldnt they be similar? anything I can change to speed it up?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I can't get ADB to work for me. Can you do this through Terminal?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Try flashing this rom with normal wipe via recovery. For me all is ok ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lfvo:
Hi elelinux, just instaled the new version and the Modded statusbar_background, and now always appear in status bar, running:

default

%1$s, %2$s

I forgot to say, i have the usb cable connected
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AdamWilb:
Seeing similar here - when you actually connect the USB it says:

A large number of SMS messages are being sent. Select "OK" to continute or "Cancel" to stop sending.

It still functions absolutely fine, just the wrong text in place it seems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AdamWilb:
In other unrelated news, Launcher Pro seems to be running much more like normal on this release - I had temporarily switched over to Zeam due to LPs sluggishness but its back to its best :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
noticed that too, doesnt have to force close to start running again on start up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
Got bored today, so i installed this rom :)

It's a pretty good rom, works fine and no FC's till now.

It's better then the latest nightly build #17, so i think i'll stick to this rom for awhile :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I congratulate you Elelinux for your hard work, your skills, and thank you very much for continuing as a developer for HTC HERO. In my eyes you are the best out there no doubt.

With all Respect,

Ciprilik
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruikaka16:
wow! Update immediately:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
what is the difference between "Dalvik-cache to sd" or the normal way?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
less space free on device with dalvik cache on internal memory

dunno why someone needs that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
1. All my apps (about 55) go straight to ext-partition so the internal memory is used in any way in my case except for cache and dalvik-cache?

2. dalvik-cache on sd increases performance or anything?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hi_robb:
Hello,

Installed 1.4 this morning doing a complete wipe and running the adb command as per Ele's recommendation on the first page. Then I set everything up and installed the apps I use from Android Market, before finally giving it a test drive.

All looks fantastic with one exception!

I still seem to experience the invisible menus bug which seems to have appeared (or not so to speak) since the code base of the rom was upped to the latest Android 2.3.3 (or whatever it is).

I'm using ADW-EX as my launcher and so far in rom v1.4, I've only experienced it a couple of times in ADW EX settings. Going back to the home screen then back in to settings appeared to fix it, which is better than 1.3 where a reboot was required.

The Cyanmod nightlies also suffer from it to. The last good build of them being nightly build 8 which was also the last nightly to use the older 2.3 code base.

It's not ADW-EX, as in v1.3 of your Rom, Launcher2 also done it. And v1.3 also done it only occasionally to start with, before becoming almost unusable after a few hours use because of constant menus not showing - including the lock screen.

I'll keep playing and see if I can spot any patterns to what's causing it and let you know Ele.

a little feature request:

i really miss the option to disable 270 degree rotation, could that one come back in? (it was in froyo versions)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
wasnt that a cyanogen mod though?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well I have started looking at it, I miss it too, if not cm built in feature, I do it myself
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grea09:
Hello,

I've been using the ROM for a moment (since it's out) and I notice some bugs.

First I have some widget (like activities or message box) not showing, I had this issue on Cyanogen Mod nighlties too, so I think it come from that.

Second I've got sometimes a HUGE battery drain, the phone does'nt last more than 30 minutes.

And Some Random reboot but I think it's normal.

If I can help sending logs or other, just tell me.

[Edit] Just seen the 1.4 build, I'll try it, sorry about reporting issues that has been fixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] invinciblervd:
Hi Ele, thanks for the update...been running 1.4 since yesterday and so far its really good....no fcs till now and speed is really good...in fact liking it more than cronos and cm.... Battery life is good so far....

Thanks a lot ele...

Has anyone had issues with exchange email not syncing after initial sync?

Used to work well, but has stopped and not sure if it is the rom or my work server

Great rom, keep up the good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcelin99:
Exchange

I have the same issue after 1 or 3 days. Solution is to restart the phone. Only drawback is that you don't know if the connection is lost or you have not received any mail.!!

Had already this on previous versions of Elelinux-7.

Hadn't realised a reboot fixes it, at least I have a temporary solution now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
menu bug still exists, not showing menus, lock screen and for some reason handcent
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
How do you get the error or bug ?, I have never managed to have it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
Im not sure but for some reason sometimes all of the settings menu goes black the items are still there and if you click them then the will load, the lockscreen works but you have to guess where to put your fingers, I do have auto memory manager installed, so it is possible it is that but launcher pro has also been playing up before this rom, so maybe this is a conflict between the two? cpu speed is set to 633, but a reboot clears it, so maybe a cache issue? will check witha cache cleaner when it next happens
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
It's hard to determine what causes it. Just happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
I've noticed that I get lots of Out of Memory in logcat when this bug happens. Every single time, it's on a graphic allocation. I currently have some issues with my computer so I can't get a copy of that logcat...

Also, in this version, I have issues with hadware keys. The only ones working are menu, back and hang out. Call key is only working on specific activities like calls logs. Home key don't work, no matter if it's a short or a long press... Did a full wipe.

I'm currently trying to reflash the rom, without the full wipe cause I don't have time for it. I will notice you if this solves that bug. :)

Edit : That didn't solve my bugs... but I do have screen off animation ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rozitg:
I have exactly the same bug as you but in Polish :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I have actually tried VR12 (the very same day when VR13 was out but I didn't know). It feels quicker and smoother and the battery life seems better (though I'm not sure). It makes me think that probably GB is too much for our Heroes. Still I switched back to Ele's ROM partially because all my Titanium backups fc'ed and I was too lazy to manually install all my 120 apps from the market and partially because I love this ROM and also love all cutting edge. :)

Regarding 1.4, off-screen animation doesn't work for me (although it only worked in 1.3 for the first couple of days). Other critical bugs for me (not that the on-screen animation is a critical bug at all) such as slow wake-up on incoming call and the graphics bug with lost menus, I have not yet checked. I have no expectations for battery life, but hope it will be still enough to get me through a day.

Again, thanks a lot Ele for all your great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jitensetia:
Hi,

I had been using this ROM and getting one problem...

whenever I download any widget from market (like APN on/off, Wifi on/off etc), it get installed but it never aloow me to place these widgets on homescreen...

These widgets even don't appear in widgets list....

pls help me

thanks'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
+1 Same for me!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ozzii:
Same in French but without 3D map :confused:

Is it just me or....

Sometimes, I completely lost the use of the touch-screen.

I can't scroll, move the home docks (I have luncher pro) or whatever else. Even when I restart LP, nothing.

I need to reboot the Hero to have the ability to reuse the phone again.

Is there also a settings to recalibrate the touch zone of the screen? Before using the v2, I had this but now can't found it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Blackball:
Same here ... since 1.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
I just got a call and the sliding tabs to answer/reject are inverted (vertical instead of horizontal) and I had to drag right to answer LOL.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Elelinux, I noticed you use 19/652 w/ smartass, are your music playing fine without stuttering and lag with screen off? I have to use ondemand (with even lowest frequency) in order for music to play normally with screen off. How are you pulling that off with smartass?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Seems like a lot of the problems came with the update to 2.3.3,I can not go back now, unfortunately,but I must try to find solutions.

Then read the thread and seems to be memory problems, spontaneous feel so,do not really know how you have your settings, etc,know that GB caches a lot more and it can create problems.

"Tip" install cache mate from market is a free application.

And the settings then

In cm-settings/preformence tick use jit,enable surface dithering,lock home in memory and lock messaging app in memory well everything :D this settings I use and I don't have thoose problems.

BTW, have added on the first post a latinime patch, hopefully you guyś how have trouble with some strange letters and stuff this will fix it for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grcd:
Not much of a feedback, but after looking around and trying several ROMs for the past 3 months, I have to say that without a doubt, this is the best available ROM on Hero. It makes the phone work the way it is supposed to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No I don't playing music in my phone,is such a boring person who only speaks and reads email, twitter, etc., using CoPilot part when I drive. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
OK, the only setting which I have so far not enabled was surface dithering, which I have done now and rebooted. I will report whether it helps.

But usually my black-screen-menue problem usually appears only after several hours of usage.

Thanks,

Michael

A question: What VM-Heap size do you use? I am using 64, but I do not know whether this is the best choice in my enviroment. I usually have 90MB free memory (info from system information)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I use that to,actually added that by default in v1.4 as a speed tweak,that's not a cm features
