Some general

Questions hails over me and unfortunately have no chance to hold on to answer all the time.

Version 2.2 is a perfect test for LV 0.4.3, had to be a bit tactical and posted Hero Kernel-12a as an option, as much information about various problems in so short time you can not get otherwise.

1: For those who have problems with the camera, replace the kernel

2: Other odd error with weird colors, etc., replace the kernel

3: What is the difference between the nightly's and this rom, nightly's has no apps2sd or gapps from the start etc... and the graphic a bit boring, I think.

For those who want the very latest must of course use the nightly build instead, this rom is updated approximately between 1-2 weeks cycles.

I will work in parallel with this rom and push changes to cm to get a solid Hero bulid in the end THE FINAL.

Probably I switch back to HeroKernel to the next release, meanwhile, will also try to help Riemer to Las_Venturas becomes stable, for me personally, the LV worked perfectly except USB Tether.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stravi:
Hi Guys (Thanks Elelinux for all your work).

Just to report significant battery loss after flashing 2.2 over 2.1 (wiped cache and dalvik cache). Phone died after about 8 hours from full charge and extremely light use (one quick phone call, couple of texts and about 15 minutes of browsing/facebook). 2.1 would get me through a whole day.

Battery Use says that "Android System" is the biggest battery user - around double that of Screen On. It also shows that the phone is awake quite a lot even when screen is off - but not sure if that's normal.

SetCPU 614/264

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I think it's established that the .35 kernel is preventing sleep from working correctly and possibly screen on is eating cpu as well.

Do people have any other suggestions, questions, requests that haven't been asked and answered here already?

I found the comment about the themes not altering the top icons interesting. That would be a nice feature to have working well, although pretty low priority I guess.

HOw's the GPS workign for people? has it crashed/rebooted anyone's phones yet? screen off working?

How about widgets being broken after a crash that forces a reboot? That's happened in older versions but hasn't happened to me yet in this version. I had one unexpected erboot during the game Monopoly but it didn't cause any side effects.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frige:
Regarding GPS i found following:

with 2.2 and LV043 GPS with screen on and screen off works perfect for me

Then i changed to Hero kernel (as battery was much shorter with LV): GPS perfect when screen on - but again restarts when using GPS with screen off (after 30 to 60 seconds). played with setcpu settings (putting lower frequ to 3xx): same problems.

Went back to LV again: again working with screen off

Interesting

Seems there is an influence from the kernel on this GPS behaviour.

Everythin else (which i use) working very fine and smooth with both kernels

May be this can help in finding the (last?) tweek for GPS :-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Hi, was using the rom a few versions ago, have reverted back to a froyo rom because of the black screen bug. Has that bug been solved now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Suprice :D the rom is updated,read changelog as usual.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hahaha :-)

I love it when you do that!

edit: I'm sticking with 2.2 - I need stable gps and I agree with posters that reimer's kernel solves the gps issues with screen off. I have no other big issues really so will stick with 2.2 until the next build that uses reimer's kernel I think.

nice work though ele
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
NVM was reading changelog to fast! Great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea, kind of will answer what I'm wondering too - which is this:

what if I upgrade to this release but flash reimer's kernel over top of it BEFORE FIRST BOOT. will I have anything to worry about or should it "just work" with a cache and dalvik wipe if I upgrade like that?

I want to keep reimer's kernel for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Next time read some posts before posting...

And yes it is gone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Only wipe cahe and dalvik cache,flash rom reboot,go back to recovery menu and flash LV on top of it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
thanks my friend!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucky Thirteen:
With a full charge (100%) my phone's battery was empty (6%) after 8 hours of very light usage.

I didn't encounter any of the previous bug so far, but my phone's usage is less intensive these days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Thanks Ele, that's downloaded, flashed and rebooted a couple of times, running nicely, if it wasn't for the random (some days it plays nice) battery drain I'd stay on LV
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dario111:
Ele, your work is fantastic! Tnx for all roms. And if it isn't too much to ask, just keep up the good work. :)

Anyway, I'm not the only one who has problem with battery drain?

It flies to zero percent... Which wasn't case with v1.6.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
That's strange, I had different experience on my phone.

Running v2.2 and LV043, my phone still rebooted when using GPS after screen off (all settings default, no OC).

Hope to hear more feedback from more users if this GPS screen off bug is really solved. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
I woke up today and found my phone was off because the battery drained down to zero in 8 hours on v2.2!

Glad there's 2.3 now... :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Seems like we got a little hint now, at cyanogenmods forums I have seen a couple of logs with ARM9 crashes always with gps involved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Good to know :)

Hopefully, can look forward to a problem free GPS fix from you for Gingerbread ROM (strange that GPS on Froyo don't cause crashes).

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Sorry, possibly being a bit thick here but how do I wipe the cache? I always assumed it meant davlik cache but I see you specify both should be cleared.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dmestriner:
boot into recovery, go to Wipe, and there you can choose Cache, Dalvik cache, SD:ext, etc...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] musikenigma:
The battery of v2.3 seem to be stable. Thanks and keep working,Elelinux !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] triksgold:
face the same problem with 2.2

downloading 2.3 now

thank you Elelinux
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avant81:
I might be doing something wrong but given that the ROM versions are coming up every few days, is there a way to wipe all but yet restore my current apps easily instead of starting all over again?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Interesting... i don't have the Cache option... maybe i'm running an older recovery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Generally it's always best to do a full wipe when flashing a new ROM. However...

You don't need to wipe all unless specified by elelinux. For example if you had v2.2 before, and now there's v2.3, all you need to do is wipe cache and Dalvik cache before you flash v2.3.

BUT you need to do a full wipe if:

1) You are coming from another ROM entirely like CM nightlies or Cronos.

2) It's specified by the ROM author.

Same here, reporting better battery stability. :)

Maybe ClockworkMod doesn't have that option... but I know Amon-Ra Recovery has it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Yeah I have 1.6.2 of Amon-Ra and it was introduced in the latest version. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tierra:
My phone is still heating up a lot. Anyone can help me out with that?

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IakobosJ:
My issues with this ROM are gone, v2.3 is amazing. Thanks Ele!! :D

What happened to me with 2.2 and 2.3.

Version 2.2 - Wifi, Mobile Data, GPS, account sync and Sound on. General Facebook usage, about 60 texts sent/received, 2 phone calls made (2 minute calls) - Battery decreased about 10% an hour (battery lasts 10 hours)******

Version 2.3 - Same scenario - Battery decreased about 5% an hour. (battery lasts 20 hours)

******With Version 2.3 I had to turn off Mobile Data and GPS and charge the phone for about 30 minutes otherwise it would not have lasted me until the end of work, so the battery drain is MORE than 10%

--Notes-- Facebook updates every hour, Weather app updates every hour, Gmail, calendar and contacts update all the time. Google Latitude is running in the background, constantly checking for updates.

CPU Scaling is ONDEMAND and is 264/691
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GodsDead:
Just installed this for the first time, latest version. Is there anything i need to know, or is this a solid rom?

Coming from a Very Very long stand with the amazing VillainRom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Good report Lakobosj, really helps to hear about usage
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stravi:
Just to say that like others here 2.3 has about double battery life of 2.2 - though that may be just down to the different kernal of course.

Everything else stable so far after one day.

Down to 30% after 12 hours (which includes screen on for 1 continuous hour using a stopwatch app, and also listening to music for about 2 hours non-stop).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chadoe:
both 2.2 and 2.3 suck the battery dry in ~5 hours if wifi is on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
2.3 doesn't here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcelin99:
I loaded v2.3 and set Smartass 176/614. Today, again with little use of the phone, but WiFi & Data on all time, with push from Exchange, GMail, Weather, Battery is still at 70% after 15 hours. Screen 35%, GSM 30%, Unactive Phone24%, ...., Android OS 2%.

Huge difference.

Not any issue (but little use!). That is great. Thanks Elelinux. Thanks Erasmux.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I made great optimizations to the FlyKernel for standby life (as this is what my phone usually does, the lazy bugger :p). If this has become the *main* issue with LasVenturas I am sure I can work with Riemer to get the .35 on par in this aspect....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
+1 yay!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snydez:
how to check kernel

Hi,

How do i know what kernel i use?

sorry for the lame question.

thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Somewhere under Settings -> About phone and I think usually "software information" or something like this you should find the kernel version field.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] triksgold:
why the GPP all missed and all the app I'd installed all gone.Update from the 2.2,download the 2.3 from http://pages.thisischen.com/HeroROM/ ,wipe the others except the data/factory reset

Should this be my fault?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
Hi,

I have install this 2.3 but, the SMS app is very slow. I am using default SMS. it takes too long to type.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Have you locked messaging app in memory?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
if u wipe sd ext, you delete your custom app data of course
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
2.3 sometimes does not go into sleep, the screen remains dimmed rather than black.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
No.. How to do that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flow:
Seriously v2.3 is the best ROM since Froyo Final. Thanks Ele & co!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flow:
Go to settings > cyanogenmod settings > performance... there lock your home and messaging app in the memory :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
Nice, much smoother than Cronos 2.2.0 - but also not bug free:

- sometimes when waking up I get only LauncherPro dock with a part of wallpaper under - rest of the screen is black. pressing home button takes care of this

- got one freeze when wanted to lock screen while in Market. Don't really know what happened but had to pull battery out, didn't respond to keys. Didn't happen again but I'm using this ROM only few hours

As for messages and dialer, plays nice with GO Contacts and GO SMS Pro :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SypherNL:
My empty launcher issues have mostly been fixed when I enabled the "Lock launcher in memory" option in the CM settings.

Now, sometimes the widgets (Handcent icon / energy management) disappears and quickly reappears after unlocking it. I've now also locked the sms app into the memory, hopefully it also fixes its widget.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Ele, could you provide a zip to remove a stock messaging app like you did in 6.2? Or will it work in 7.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes it work

USB & ADB problems

Hi.

Just installed the latest version of this rom and looks just fine.

Haven't tested wifi yet but the my problem right now is that i cannot connect my phone via usb and i have no access to adb.

Trie to install Las Venturas kernel but to no success.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Best regards,

Dann
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well 1 is a LP bug in combination with GB. So thats something that will come sometime to be fixed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bieniu:
Ele, could You add to the next version of ROM Google Talk 1.3 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056793 ?

I don't care about video and voice calling only on translation of the program into Polish.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No,but has added it as a option instead,the script will remove the old one and install v1.3 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Its a problem of Open1.1 which CM is using not a prob. of the app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan_2468:
Very nice ROM. Only issue I am having compared with Froyo elelinux ROMs is Google Talk messages get lost, i.e when I am sent messages on Talk they do not always go to my phone. On older ROMs, all messages would sync perfectly. Has anyone else had this?

Tris
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
try using an older version of Quadrant and not 1.1.7 ... see if that works on gingerbread when it's doing the graphics test. (the test crashes) Hmm so Rom problem or App compatibility problem?

check on appbrain : Recent changes: Fixed Gingerbread compatibility issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ayk33:
thanks for the great rom,

but i lost youtube :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
try flashing the latest gapps maybe it works .. I have Youtube
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BassOperators:
Why does the gingerbread everywhere there is a problem with the graphics, the feeling that the color of low-rank 8bit. very sharp transitions from tone to tone. Even the screenshots it shows.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
Great work mate, have loaded it on a friends hero, and it works perfect, myself i am on your 6.2.0-rc0 rom which works perfect for my everyday needs!

Keep up the good work!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
earlier in the thread I pointed out one that works flawlessly and doesn't slow down the hero and is quite sexy (blue somethingorother).

search for it. avoid 3d ones - they will typically become disabled after a screen off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no the issue is not with Open1.1. the issue happens in Open1.0 also under gb with neocore and as noted quadrant no longer has that issue with gb.

That is just scientific analysis from me though. I don't know for certain.

however it could be that neocore won't work on the hero any more with gb if gb expects to find a certain minimum specification of 3d hardware acceleration which the hero doesn't provide. In other words, neocore could possibly never work properly on the hero running gingerbread.

That is just an educated guess from me though. I don't know the solution.

AFAIK, YMMV, yada yada yada
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
try cleaning your screen.

just kidding

I haven't noticed this at all. graphics look great to me in gb. maybe I'm not picky enough though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefttobleed:
there are many live wallpapers that work brilliantly with this rom .... thanks elelinux
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
I know I'm nitpicking here, but the outline of the circle that you select is jagged. not sure if it shows clearly on the screenshot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Baddudevsninja:
Works great thanks, I was just wondering if the screen off animation is slow for everyone else, it lags a bit then speeds up. I understand that this is a beta so not to bothered by it, but if its possible I would like it to run normally as its a nice little touch to 2.3
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have changed the files on ftp servers, there were so many who have had trouble,most as a security measure, has also added the Ubuntu fonts as a option :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BassOperators:
:D

Two screenshots one with 2.3 second with 2.2

Look at the widget messages, it is an example of what all the animation on 2.3.2 has such sharp transitions are 8 bit colors.

Most likely it was because of this subterfuge, 2.3 more or less normally work on our heroes?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No of course anderstand you,wonder if it is that theme

look at this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ayk33:
After flashing v3,some apps were missing.if someone had the same problem, don't worry just reboot...

i know it's beta but woks like so close to final :)

Thanks master ele
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
You can try downloading the rom again, changed files on the ftp servers because many have had problems with various things, wipe the Dalvik cache only then reflash the rom. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Imperticus:
Yes, its just that theme. It's fine in the other 2 themes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
you mean the subtle 3d reverse bevel effect around the font's letters in the title of the widget? that's all I can see that is different. it's pretty subtle, I guess I didn't notice. I'm not sure that I'm seeing it even now LoL

I'm probably less particular or observant than you. hopefully it's fixable by someone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucky Thirteen:
I have a problem and I don't know what to check to correct it. People told me that when they call me, the voice mail is answering and I can confirm when that happen, my phone doesn't ring like it should.

Some people told me that they have to try 2-3 times to have me answered instead of the voice mail, on my side I assume it is the "first" time my phone is ringing but looks like it's not the case.

I did try in Recovery to clear the partition cache and the Dalvik Cache prior to flash the (what I think it's the) latest radio rom (63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03).

The bug haven't disappear with that maneuver, from there I really don't know where to start.

Sorry if the explanation is poor... :(

TIA
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iop tha man:
Ive had exactly that problem, i thought it was the rom but it was a titanium backup setting that was causing problems (setting from one rom didnt work on new one) full wipe fixed it for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
Hi ele,

Been using this rom for 2 days now, and i'm very glad to come back on ginger cause i moved to sense with your 2.1 sense rom.

The rom work's very well, but the only thing (and most important for me) the usb teethering won't work on my pc (windows 7).

P.S: tired it on my pc at work, with 7 too, and it's not working.

is there anyone having this issue or it's just me !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
If you read some post back there someone talk about this and posted a driver for usb tethering in Win7
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
anyone help me about choose governor and compcache RAM in this ROM.

I don't know how to do it, but is default best choice? Its default governor is ondemand, but I'd like to used smartass with OC 614/245 . So ondemand and smartass, which is better for Hero? Should I let it default (576) ?

Please help me to avoid damaged my phone....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Don't worry about damaging your phone, nothing there will be a problem, if you over-clock your phone too much, then it will just become unstable, and reboot.

I have 691 without any trouble, some people report that 710 is good for them, it depends on the hardware HTC used when building your phone.

Use Smartass as the governor, and you should get the best out of the phone. If you find the wakeup is too slow, or has lock -screen issues, increase the screen off value - I used 19MHz, without any major issues!

Compcache - just try it and see if you notice any improvements, I never do ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
thanks you swatsbiz. I did anything to play angrybird smoothly but It's not work.

I thought compcache will help me a improve speed a little, I set it to 10%, I'll try 18% (default). If nothing better I'll set it back to no.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Compcache is a technique to get more memory at the expense of cpu power. It basically compresses memory. I think to get angrybirds playing smoothly you need more cpu power, so with compcache it might even go slower?

Also there should be a better-performance apk version of the game on xda somewhere though, maybe look for it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
I downloaded from market I don't know about better-performance ver. Will you help me the link, riemervdzee?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
thanks Riemer, that's what I thought it did, but couldn't be bothered to check before responding ;-p

an individual question : When's the next update released? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lucky Thirteen:
Thank tha man!

I will give a try at this since I did use TB too to restore my phone. A question if I just backup the apps without the data, is it gonna be OK?

I will see later this week if this is the real deal with that bug.

A big THANKS to you! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Has anyone tried it with a new Riemer's kernel? I wonder if battery life has improved.

Just updated to 2.3.

The phone is running very smoothly and its quick.

BUT iv one problem.

Both my call and home buttons do nothing. They worked fine on 2.2

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Just restart your phone and it should be ok
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
How did you do,wipe of cache and dalvik cache ? or only flash the rom,should normally be enough to wipe the cache and dalvik cache if you come from v2.2 ,but if it not work for you must even do a wipe of factory reset.

BTW have you used TB ? for something ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Running it now, I'll let you know ;-)
