Just got this as a direct message:

Hi, I can't post to a dev thread (because I haven't made 10 posts elsewhere yet), but I wanted to say that I've had similar market issues. I can confirm I have the "This app is incompatible with your Vodafone HTC Hero" message against TweetCaster Pro for Twitter (but not the free version of TweetCaster) and also Readingo for Instapaper (DEV) and one other I can't remember now. These applications worked in the previous 2.3.4-based Elelinux ROMs. I've tried restoring Readingo from Titanium backup but it doesn't sync new references using the restored Instapaper account settings and force-closes when I try logging in cleanly. Perhaps these apps have an incompatibility with something new sync-wise introduced in 2.3.5?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luculuc:
Yeah I reported this problem some time ago in this thread... but no clue of what is happening. No matter if I use US Sim settings, or a VPN to pretend I am in the US, the result is the same.... Might be 2.3.5...

Haven't seen Ele on here in a while. Guess he's still on vacation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
I am currently using this rom (latest version), but i am encountering a rather weird occurance. My hero would just turn off randomly when in use. Especially when connected to the internet and using the facebook or twitter app. Managing to turn it on is a hit or miss affair. Even if it goes past the boot animation, it would usually shut down again. The only way to turn it on properly, is by connecting it to the charger. I have also noticed that the battery is getting bloated recently. Some dev or experienced person pls respond to this question. Is this battery related, any hardware related or is it software related?

Thanks in advance.. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Could it be an OC issue? What are your frequencies?

recovery

Hi, first of all I would like to thank you for the great rom you have made!

I'm travelling on bicycle for half a year now and still use my HTC hero a lot! Also GPS works really nice, I use Maps, coPilot and Sygic as gps software!

I'm now on the 3.0 special but would like to upgrade. The only thing is that I can't go into CWM recovery anymore. I recently formatted my SDcard maybe that has something to do with it. I tried several things like reinstall rom manager, nitrality, recoveryflasher but I didn't succeed. When I boot to recovery the telephone gets stuck in the 'HTC hero' bootscreen and the only option I have is to remove the battery.

Has anybody a tip to get recovery working again so that I can make a backup and flash the new 3.2 rom?

HTC hero

Elelinux 3.0 special

GoLauncherEX

CPU 19Mhzz / 633Mhz Smartass (higher gives spontanious reboots with GPS)

VM heapsize 32mb
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Did You had an answer?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZyberXDA:
I fixed it myself by uninstalling my rommanager v3 and downloaded and installed the latest v4 rommanager, flashed recovery and now I can get acces to recovery again. I thought I had the latest rommanager, market didn't gave me an update notice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcelin99:
I really enjoyed to see my Hero alive with Elelinux 7.series.

However both v3.1 and v3.2 are giving me troubles: the launcher is very laggy; contacts is very slow; search in contacts might take up to 1 minute! Sometimes, the battery got drained in 6 hours without any activity from myself, then phone shutting down!

For reference I did follow 100% Elelinux installation instructions

Performance, CPU setting Smartass 176 - 614 MHz as usual.

Under Display, only few animations.

As soon as I am back from vacations next week, I will do a full wipe and return to v3.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes I'm still in Greece, will come home to Gothenburg monday night and will start to read this thread and planning v3.3. :-)

Cheers :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
Using go launcher ex without issues
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duxford:
Try to change governor to "on demand" (from your "smartass) ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
Well, I usually set it at 652 353 with smartass governor. I will try clocking it at 614 352. See if it helps.. Thats bro for ur help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheoKondak:
What you can do is switch Phone Language to Greek,but then you will lose English keyboard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
I do encountered phone shut off for no reason once in a while.

But your problem sounds more likely to be battery dying soon becos you need charger connected to turn on phone and also phone shut off when using data or wifi to connect internet (higher current drawn from battery).

Looks like your Hero's time is up ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Automatic Brightness?

I've looked if someone else had the same issue but search didn't find anything. Could someone please confirm if automatic brightness works? The phone seems to be unusually bright even in pitch dark.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Led lights colour

Even I set the led light to green, all notification lights (sms, mail, lost calls) appear red.

When charging the battery, the led light is allays green (It must be red until is fully charged)

How I can have green led notification and red light when charging the battery?

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AzaraT:
Just updated the rom, once again, great work!

I have one problem however, the lock screen seems to never be tricked, eg the phone is never locked. Anyone else have this problem / know how to fix it?

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcelin99:
I can confirm that the brightness is behaving differently as v3.0 and before.

I noted that screen stays quite dark for a long time after unlocking. Very unconvenient by sunny vacation days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
Yeah I think so too.I clocked my processor at 614 today, but still it shut of for no reason and I couldnt turn it back on. Luckily, I can say farewell to Hero, as I am gonna get a new phone this week. (R.I.P my beloved hero)

But if somebody could find a solution to my prob (other changing my batt), I would be great as I have to endure this for another week.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Good to know it's not my eyes playing tricks. Does the dev or anyone else have any advice?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
By the way I having a similar issue. When I turn on or reboot my phone its just stuck at the splash screen.

I have to take off the battery, then the sim card at once, or the sdcard to make it boot properly.

I never had this problem before and I did try to wipe everything and flash the 3.2 again but still hanging.

Now, I need to keep it on all the time.

Anyway encoutered the same issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Glad somoeone else had this problem as I always use Eles' roms but I stopped using this rom because I also had this problem with the 'phone not seeing the sim card after booting up and had to remove it and the SD card to get the 'phone to work?

Thought that the problem was with the sim card but the problem was resolved when I started using OMFGB.

Hope that you all enjoyed Greece Ele, we patiently await your next build :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
My phone does see the sim card. The problem is just keep hanging on reboot at the splash screen.

I hope the issue will be solve with the next release, on the other side, with Launcher pro this room is blazing fast!

Awesome job from Ele..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orrebo:
I don't get it. How can you get so much problem?

It's running smooth for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
I just want to throw it out there; that to those having severe battery issues after flashing this ROM, try rebooting into recovery and wiping battery history under the "advanced" menu.

Prior to doing this, my battery would overheat (up to 43º C) after say only 5/10 minutes of use on the browser, or almost immediately after I begin to watch a film. In addition to this, a full charge would only last under 8 hours (standby), making my phone pretty much usable on the go.

My phone appears to be working normally now. I'd recommend wiping the battery history as soon as you flash just to be on the safe side.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
I don't get it too...beside, is only one problem..

By the way, phone could have same spec, same hardware, and same brand, but that doesn't mean that all phones can have the same issues..

For instance some phone can reach certain frequencies for OC that others cannot.

I never had issues in the past with all the other roms I flashed before, other people did with the same, simple as that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AzaraT:
I dont have a problem of the phone reading the sim card however whenever some calls me it says im busy. Texts works fine.

Rerolled back to an earlier build which works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
Roll on 3.3 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have been reading the thread, and many odd errors, are compiling version 3.3 now :) and probably I go back to the old market.

There have been many new updates and fixes from CM-Source in the last week, have also looked at the script as Michael suggested, but can not get it to work in the boot sequence.

Have even begun to consider a custom hboot/recovery, have begun lab with it anyway.

The update for v3.3 will probably be finished tomorrow evening, must test it tomorrow first before it becomes public.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I like the idea of the custom hboot and recovery..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
Using the 3.1.3 market like a dream
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Same for me but others have problems
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
@ elelinux : welcome back! can't wait for tomorrow's release.

One question: Is the tweak for the sd-card reducing it's life like ext4 does? I am tempted to use it on every future release but I dunno if it's harming the sd-card. I use a Kingston 2GB (dunno what class as it's not written on it) with ext2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Good question :) well actually I do not know, I use SD speed increase "free app from market " instead
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Version 3.3 Light up and running :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Ohhhh....:D where? where is it?.... I'm so ansious to see the sweets You "cooked" for us...:p

Welcome back Elelinux!! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Tomorrow evening it becomes public :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Thanks Elelinux! And flash the rom will be the first thing I'll do when I come home from work, tomorrow. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Hi elelinux,

First of all, thanks for your great ROMS' I've been using them for quite some time now. Do you have any comments/experience with some of the Auto Brightness anomalies mentioned in the last few pages?

Thanks

Eben
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcher233:
Terrific! I'm dying to flash it! Still waiting!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
Tell me bout it, itching to try even an alpha :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Can't wait! I am already in recovery with my phone! lol...

BTW: Keep the new market, love it. Make old market only an option.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Hey Ele, take your time dude. It's always better to receive the rom once it has been tested properly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
which tweak do you mean?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
The Sd card tweak which increases the SD cache size (or something :P) to increase the SD card speed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I believe the common SD tweak is:

write /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb 2048

(in init.rc format)

At least on our kernels, writing the value to /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb seems equivalent.

There are also numerous android apps on the market which can change this in a more convenient way for the end user, for example check out SD Speed Increase.

Also note, the current SD card tweak I like to include in my ROMs is a bit more comprehensive and I am at least under the illusion it can give a tad bit better performance:

# Tune SD Card Read Write Performance
write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio 0
write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes 2048000
write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio 0
write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes 20480000
write /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/read_expire 10000
write /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/write_expire 10000
write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs 0
write /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs 0
write /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb 2048
write /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster 5
write /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure 50

(again init.rc format)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
oh that tweak... I guess in Layman's terms it just increases the amount of data the phone reads ahead. I believe the default is 128kb but you get better read performance if you set it higher. I read 3072 was the optimum but I guess this depends on the phone and SD card. Clearly, Erasmux prefers a slightly lower value but im sure he came to that value after some exhaustive testing ;)

I'm pretty certain setting a higher value wont damage the card in any way so in response to the original question (from Ciprilik?) I think you'd be fine including the tweak in all your rom's. but then again im no expert :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Fix for USB tethering using the LasVenturas/x kernel is found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17008727#post17008727

Please do not apply this if you are using a .29 kernel like HeroKernel which I believe is still the default kernel of this ROM (or is the main post not updated?).

Please let me know if there are still any problem with USB tethering.

Oh, forgot to address Ciprilik questions:

a) Tweaking the SD card should not damage it, as it only increase the read ahead a bit.

b) I recommend using ext4 (or at least ext3) and not ext2 for the sdcard - see explanation below:

First of all, under normal usage, the SD ext partition is used only by app2sd which will put the "user" applications apk files on it and in some cases also the dalvik cache. This means that the SD card ext partition will be read very lightly and written to very rarely. For this reason ext2 vs. ext3 vs. ext4 won't make much of a practical difference for most users (but use ext4).

Personally, I also use my ext partition for dual booting. When dual booting a whole ROM from an ext2 partition the ROM would get corrupted for me after a couple of reboots. Using ext4 this does not happened.

Does ext4 decrease the life of the SD by a tad bit? I assume so, because it needs to write the log there. But I think the choice between risking your data getting corrupted every time you reboot (using ext2) or using ext4 and accepting that your card may live a little bit shorter (and then you can finally upgrade it ;P) should be obvious.

Again, to summarize this issue: For 99% of the users the SD card ext partition is read very lightly and written to very rarely and hence the ext2/3/4 dilemma really makes almost no different at all. SD card tweaks should not have a considerable effect on the life or integrity of the SD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Waiting a bit with the release of v3.3, will try Las_Venturax and see if everything works as intended before, maybe it will be included instead as default kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
But v3.3 is still coming this evening right? :D .... "Come on man! I need my "fix" ! " :rolleyes: ( as I sad before ...many pages behind : Elelinux has "the good stuff" :))

@erasmux : thank you for the detailed explanation :D I've backed-up my sd files and made the ext partition as ext4 .. now i'm only waiting for Elelinux's GB v3.3 to do a clean install and then to fill the ext4 partition with my apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Wait...what? You can dual boot? Does that mean you can change to a diff rom without re-flashing? How does that work? Is it difficult to do? Is it possible to use too many question marks in one post?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I use it mainly for development, when I don't want to mess up my daily ROM when I am working on a new ROM. The way I do it, is that my alternative ROM sits completely on the SD ext partition (which I usually have at around 1GB). To boot it up I use a boot.img with a customized init.rc which mounts the /system /data and /cache to the SD ext partition. With an unlocked bootloader you can even boot the alternative ROM without flashing anything (as a one time thing using fastboot). I have read other solutions, like keeping image files for the system, data and cache partitions on the main SD card partition (not the ext partition) - I believe this was on the heroc forums but I could be wrong.

From a practical stand point, this works quite slow - especially for sense ROMs it is unbearably slow. It might be usable to put a relatively lightweight ROM on the SD (like ASOP or CM). If anyone is interested in my customizations to the init.rc script to make this work, I would be happy to share them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The rom is updated, please read changelog before installation, Thanks to Erasmux and Riemer for Las_Venturas/x, please post bug if you find any in the new kernel and if you don't like kernel there is a option for Hero-Kernel on the first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcher233:
Finally it comes! Downloading your masterpiece to my web host and then I'll flash it to try.

Great to hear that new kernel is working properly, thanks and respects to all the devs and contributors!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Thank you Elelinux, Erasmux and Riemer.

@Elelinux : you forgot to change the update script message for Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v3.3 ... it says "Welcome to Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v3.3-Light" and the Changelog hasn't been modified in Settings-> CyanogenMod settings-> System. but that's not a problem :)) (i did clean install)Thank you once again and welcome back to the dev world from your vacation with your family.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The lack of time and a little oblivion, it became so " vacation forget everything :) "

BTW Thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
No problem :p the rom works and it's functions and stability are of importance. All I know is that I'm "yelling" to Titanium Backup to finish restoring my apps quickly :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:

Hi,

One thing i noticed is that the neocore benchmark doesn't work. It just shows some lights.

Also MXMoto is very slow. Using the Elelinux 6.2 Rom it was smooth.

this is a great rom. Thank you for your work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Once again, great rom Elelinux! :cool: Thanks!

I'm going to make the "test drive"...:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
I was just wondering, I'm currently on CM6 and tried CM7 roms before, they always felt quite sluggish & laggy (not that CM6 runs perfectly...).

How about the current state of this rom? I would like to use gingerbread because of all kinds of security flaws popping up in older android versions. Is there still a big difference between CM6 & CM7 Roms despite the (greatly appreciated!) work of all the devs of CM, Hero & Kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirilliz:
i tried cm7 a long time ago (didn´t like it than) and now ele 3.2 and i must say this rom is pretty fantastic. it is quite fast (as fast as you can expect on a hero i guess) and definetly day to day usable!! i´m now going to update to 3.3 but i think you can safely use this rom if you want to update, it´s pretty good :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Thanks!

I'll flash it now.

2 questions about 3.3:

The sd-card tweak is now part of the rom, am I getting that right?

It also says las-venturas kernel is now standard, do I have to flash extra or is it part of the rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirilliz:
i´m not sure about the sd-card tweak but i just flashed 3.3 and the new kernel (las venturasx 0.5f) is installed as well. so that comes with the rom. i suggest to also install the old market because the nwe one which comes with the rom is super slow.. at least for me. it looks good but i can´t really use it :( but the old one workes fine so i´m gonna install that now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Yeah, I had the new market on my cm6 rom too, horribly slow. I'm gonna see how it work with this rom, but will probably go back to the old one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes SD-Card tweak is included and Las_Venturax is default kernel in v3.3 so you don't need to flash anything extra
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Siauka:
Video camera forces to close every time after restoring default settings for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
+1. Old market works as expected, much quicker to load and navigate. Getting interruptions during music tracks. Going to try smartass 2 now and increase min. to 352As much as I have not been enjoying Launcher pro, I reinstalled it as the default launcher was not smooth. Still busy testing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Symondo10:
well it's a sad day in a way.. just ordered a G SII to replace my old reliable Hero.

Just wanted to say a big thanks for all your hard work on keeping the Hero going.

I'm off to the G SII forums to find a Rom that will extend the battery life lol.

All the best

Wi-Fi connects for a few seconds and then connection drops. 3/4 of signal strenght (one wall between devices)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] htc87:
I have a trouble with internet speed. The rom loads pages to slow and the market to. Could it have to do with the radio? Wich radio do you guys use? Suffering from same problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
settings for Las venturas

Elelinux, what settings for Las venturas do you suggest?

Governor = Ondemand, Smartass, smartassV2? (what's the difference between these two?). Or other?

Frequency = 264/576 Mhz? (that's what I have). Or other?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
after the 0.6.0 update SmartassV2 is better...
