My phone is restarting whenever I download apps directly from the market.android.com website. I did a complete wipe on everything including ext partition (wanted to start fresh) and applied SD-tweak, 3D maps, remove stock mms, and flashed Hero Kernel. Any ideas what might be causing it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] matawww:
Hi,

Just wondering, is it possible to have Gtalk voice chat in the newest build of elelinux?

I was trying to make it work in version 2.3 of elelinux, but for me it was not working!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jh71:
A few releases back, I found the phone restarting on it's own when GPS is enabled and it can't get a lock, for example when indoors. I think it is worth checking.

Ele, the other day with version 2.3, I had another reboot after 30 minutes GPS usage. Do you see a solution coming for this ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
GPS was actually off; it was a fresh restart and reformat. It's one of the flash files for sure; I just did a full wipe again and installation works from the market without reboots. I'm going to slowly flash each zip and see which one is causing it. It's not a loop reboot. I'm betting my money on the 3D maps because I had problem with it before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] solarbird:
ele, how can i have small keyboard that you had in previous versions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I had a similar issue. What caused in my case was some app2sd conflict. I have an ext2 partition and as I understand the ROM manages apps2sd automatically. But then I started getting a message after each time I installed or updated an app, sometjhing like "this app supports app2sd, would you like to put it on SD". I did it with a few apps and after that I either could not update them or installing/updating them restarted teh phone every time. So I moved them back from the SD or unistalled entirely and installed again and it has fixed teh issue. I guess there was some conflict between different types of app2sds. I am not sure if it is relevant to your case though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
? Is it not the same,I notice no difference
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Nothing I have noticed, I updated just have not made ​​any new installation,any logcat ?

Edit: I don't use 3Dmaps either
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zaxxxx:
Details needed

Ele, thank you for this beautiful ROM.

Where can we get more details for new 'Changelog 2011-05-19',

(do we get more speed with new low memory settings, etc..)

I'am sick of installing, reinstalling all apps. after flashing new ROM version.

One stupid question; game 'Minigore' works fine with Final 2.2.1, but with 2.3.. it

crashes after startup. What is the reason: memory, opengl, ???

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ipuljiz:
VPNC stil chrashes

Could someone give me breef tutorial how to catch system logs or app logs. Maybe I will find something up when VPNC chrashes.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
GPS, looking at the code after the solution, it works well for some and others do not, unfortunately, has also thrown out request for help and a programmer has responded to take a closer look on GPS code.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Low memeory settings do not affect the speed,only not to kill applications too quickly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Adding it in to do list :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
Nice, 2.4 seems much smoother than 2.3.4 :)

Still, makes me wonder how much can that be improved, you're working your ass off to make it better but maybe GB really is overkill for poor old Hero :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
Great ROM, Ele!!!

anyway I always try to use LVs, but it seems HeroKernel12a is still most snappy one (at least for me).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
Hi ele,

Very good job for the update, you rock men :)

Wanna know, is there a way to keen an app in memory? (without using any memory manager app from the market?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Ele it appears that the 3D maps is causing the problem. Updating directly from the market has the 3D maps already (before it didn't); I'm from the US.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dufoli:
Heya,

thanks for this great rom.

I have just camera which work for 1 photo and bug so I have to reboot and GPS which do need a reboot to work quite all the time I switch it on. I know that you are working on it so /me happy.

What is the best radio with this rom? I heard that recent radio is bad for battery...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thanks then I remove it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well, not working my ass off I can promise you :) ,also believe that we can improve things all the time,code changes, etc.sure Hero is a old device but not so old,we developed all the time once we have a fully functional 2.6.35 kernel then we have gone one step further with more features. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Sounds great Ele. Keep up the good work and thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
>>> Removed aNetshsare,download android tether instead from market

Which app do you mean specifically mate? "android tether" doesn't have a great rating so I don't think it's that one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] plazzTT:
I think this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
I mentioned this a while back, the keyboard seems to be vertically stretched slightly... not sure why.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes that one,wireless tether
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Not exactly the same but this is what the difference is:

http://www.jayceooi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Android-2.3-Gingerbread-keyboard.jpg

http://cdn3.staztic.com/screenshots/gingerbread-keyboard-10-1.jpg

It's almost like the keyboard for a larger screen is being used.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm, but the difference in the screens,the larger screen is GB default and the other is I think is froyo default
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
It's just really the height of the buttons I was trying to demonstrate by those images.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stantang:
Anyone can tell me how's the battery life of 2.4 compare to 2.3.4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olive127:
Hi Ele,

Thanks for your new rom again.

Sorry to be a pain but I wiped Dalvik cache and ext cache and did flash over your 2.4 preview, everything is ok, except I don't have the Android Market installed.

I flashed the latest gapps, but it seems to be the light google apps, since it's a 5.5 MB file.

Do you have a link for the latest full google apps ? thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
Could you be a little more specific? I'm basing my own Sense theme on HTC.Elegance and it would be nice to know the changes you've made to the theme...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
It's still Android OS v2.3.4 but Ele's release signed as 2.4. I hope I understand it right :)

...but to your question. I think it's pretty the same as previous version namely 2.3. Of course if you use HeroKernel12a. However as it was released just yesterday t night we will wait for others statements. But personally like it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Semitransparent geniewidget,unknown calls picture,lot of icons,but due to limitations in the theme chooser so will all the changes, unfortunately not visible.

Will this evening finish my Speedmachine theme + much more as a flashbar file instead to GB v2.4.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
I am not sure about this.

1. more running process = more cpu background usage

2. I think the free RAM is used for caching and could improve speed. But if you use a to high kill limit to get more free ram, you kill used apps very often and have to start them again, which costs time and decreases speed if you measure it in completed actions over time.

So a good balance is important. I use 30 35 40 and "autokiller memory" app. Instead of this app it is possible to change it in a simple file (just for information to interested people). I do not know the file name, but you can find it out easily if you google this topic.

Thanks for this great and stable version, ele!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
Ele, I don't know if you tried Wildhero (or SFM) ROM, but I noticed that when somebody is calling you the screen (and identification) pops out instantly but in (I suspect all non-sense) other ROMs it takes few seconds to switch-on the screen? Why is that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I understand your thought, but as I see it,more running process yes and that could improve speed to open a application, but that does not mean more speed in general for the rom.

But what the hell just people are happy and it works. :)

Cheers

BTW For thoose who want change the low memory killings settings you find them in init.rc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No have not,sorry,and do not know why there is a delay in AOSP,but must add it into my to do list

Edit: Saw this now will come next update https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/abff94d3011b9afe7a4a16fc63d14490cef56e69
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
Seems batterylife has decreased rather drastically for me. Just installed 2.4, skipped a version though.

It is far more responsive as the previous version I had installed, appears to be lots faster so far. But, after 45 minutes of using eBuddy, my battery was drained to 45%. This morning I did the same with the old rom and it was down to 68%...

Battery use shows Display using 82%, Android System 5%, eBuddy 3% and HTC_IME mod 3%. Somehow I've got the feeling that if I leave my screen on permanently that it would drain my entire battery in a matter of hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Can you tell me with which version did you had a better battery life? thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
It looks like Ele is using LV0.4.3, which still has battery drain issues, if you're not happy flash the HeroKernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
2.4 uses HeroKernel 12a
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
With 2.1, but that was far less stable and a lot slower.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's pretty normal for all android roms. remember it's the relative percentage of what uses most battery - now how fast battery is being used up. if your battery goes down 50% over 12 hours, and you use your phone several times during that time and maybe play a game once or twice, the numbers will be the same.

yep. which is how my phone's been with all roms forever - if you leave the screen on it eats the battery like crazy.

Not trying to be difficult here though LoL - you obviously have something eating battery faster than usual, but those stats aren't really revealing unfortunately.

the problem with how android reports "display" as the highest item is that it's really the display is on and lots of things are running at the same time that are eating your battery, but it is reported as display usage. VERY unhelpful of android.

I think there's a better way to see what's eating your battery but I never can remember. is it in spare parts? you could take a look jsut in case - it might be more helpful.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added the first flashable theme to GB on the first post,only because of the limitations in theme thooser,now it's time for couple beer :)

led turning green 90% charging

Elelinux,

Thank you for your hard working for this rom. I am little bit curious about led. When charging 90% led turning green. Why not you make it turning green when it charge 100%. I hope you can change it. I really love your work ele.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
HTC set the led to change to green at 100%, but Google choose to set it at 90%, this is standard for all AOSP roms. I think someone may be able to point you in the right direction for changing that though ...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] borice91:
Special thanks

Hi guys.

A special thanks to elelinux for his awesome work !!! ;)

With your work, you are constantly postponing the death date of our Hero ;)

I'm using Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.1 since few weeks.

It's a great rom, best Ginger available. It's so fast. :D

Thank you and keep your good work !

Cheers.

Video problem

Just got a problem last day...

I don't know if it has been reported, but normal to have infinite boot loops after tried to play a video... (yes, it seems that I was mistaken about the encoding parameters with Hanbrake).

The rome worked perfectly before this event.

(I tried to wipe all to avoid this problem...) Do not if it helped to resolve the infinite boot loops but I had to remove / replace battery to stop this... I tried few times to read the video... Always the same problem... Load, Show the begining at 0 sec and then reboot...

Tried with the the default video player ("Videos"), same problem with "MoboPlayer" and "RealPlayer".

Thanks.

Cheers.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MudriGoga:
Great ROM. Faster than ever!

Did somebody test the battery life?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iop tha man:
Im back to GB working good so far :)

Any chance rotation settings will be fixed again soon ele ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Yes it is the best GB so far. Battery with herokernel with screen off is very good, but as soon as the display is on it drains a little bit too much. My feeling is, that this was not always the case for GB-ROMs. But may be I am wrong.

Anyway I really recommend this ROM!

Thanks, Ele!

mms problem...

Hello Elelinux,

Thank you for your work, this rom is very nice !

I have just a little problem, with "Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero" (all versions including 2.4) my MMS do not work. In fact the sending works but not the reception...

I have check my "APN" setting and they are good. After serval test, i try your other rom "Elelinux-6.2.0-Hero-Speedmachine-v3" and MMS work perfectly... :confused: Do you know this problem ?

Thanks.

Regards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm,is there more users with this problem ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lubekgc:
@elelinux, 7.1.0-2.4:

There are some small annoyances you could probably fix.

There is some wrong command left in init.hero.rc:

<3>[ 5.872833] init: /init.hero.rc: 28: invalid command 'device'

The depmod file is broken for tun and ramzswap, thus the modprobe command cannot load them:

I/compcache( 160): Starting compcache of 19553Kb (10%)
I//system/bin/compcache( 161): modprobe: 'ramzswap.ko': unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter
I//system/bin/compcache( 161): Failed to open /dev/block/ramzswap0: No such file or directory
I//system/bin/compcache( 161): swapon: can't stat '/dev/block/ramzswap0': No such file or directory
I/logwrapper( 161): /system/bin/compcache terminated by exit(0)

For users: fix depmod, load module with insmod or wait for a fix.

Please remove the archive "apps2sd_no dalvik-cache_move.zip" from the main post, or fix it.

It contains some outdated APPS2SD script for older releases (/system/sd).

For users: If you want to preserve dalvik-cache in the flash memory, create an empty file /data/.nodalvik-cache2sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Yeah I actually posted my battery experience not very long ago. Here's an update though. Yesterday I had a day of quite heavy use. Lots of phone calls and and web browsing. Screen was set on brightest setting since I was outside in sunshine most of the day. Took it off charge a 6AM and got the 15% warning beep at 11:30PM. Didn't touch the phone after that and at 7AM this morning was at 12%.

I'm very satisfied with battery life on this ROM. I am confident that I can get a full day's use easily out of the battery, and more than a day out of it when I don't use it much (which is normal for me).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
Actually, I got an MMS on 2.1 a few weeks back, and all I got was a "your device doesn't support mms, go to this link and see your mms" text message.

Something else:

Does anyone have problems with wifi stopping with working? After a couple of hours, the green wifi indicator turns white again and my connection doesn't work anymore. Wifi is still connected, but... no traffic. Disabling and re-enabling wifi fixes it, but it's annoying nevertheless.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thank you and bows, I can not manage everything myself, well when people are honest and point to actual errors.

If time allows, I will check it again thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] troublecro:
Flashing it now,still hoping for the fluid movement like in speedmachine....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Yes, I have the exact same problem. I double checked the APN settings and all seems to be alright. But still, I cannot receive MMS.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
so much better.Thanks for this ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I working on a solution, expect there will be a testfix during the day for those of you who have this problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tlc77:
Nice ! I'm waiting the new package to perform tests, thanks a lot ! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
A quick question, do I have to reflash the sdcard tweaks, after every rom update?

Anyway, battery life is great on my phone so far!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm tried to build a fix, but end up in boot loop all the time, it was more dependencies with the fix that I expected so I decided to compile a new rom instead.This rom, I want you some have problems with MMS to try,wipe of cache and dalvik cache is necessary.Also check that your APN is correct.

I've tried it myself both transmit and receive and worked perfectly for me.

TESTROM FOR MMS PROBLEM >>> http://www38.zippyshare.com/v/30986868/file.html
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes that's necessary
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mysteriarque:
i can not apply the theme speed machine, it is not showing in the theme chooser after wiping dalvik cache and applying zip from recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well is not a theme thooser theme,if you flash the theme and then with theme thooser choose system default theme VIOLA :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tlc77:
It works like a charm ! :) Congratulation and thanks for this quick fix ! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Good to hear,now I just wait for more to try and ensure that the result is the same for them,then I can push changes to the cm-source :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
I can confirm it is working in here also! :)

Thank you very much. :D

Can this rom use HTC-CIME? Thankyou very much. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hi elelinux,

Are there any checksum for Theme_Speedmachine_Elelinux_v2.4? Thankyou very much. :)

No but can add it when I come home tonight
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have you done any kind of backup with TB, many get weird errors when using the TB, to think of just take backup of apps never data.If the case is not so then I advise you to a new installation with the wipe of everything, including factory reset.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
thx for the quick reply :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Oh, I really don't know it only works for HTC Sense. I thought it could work for HTC devices. Anyway, it is an extremely great ROM. Thankyou very much. :)

Strange,the theme is only for v2.4,when I flashed it NP,but now I use the testversion for the mms fix and that version it will not work,but I'll try again then, might have been something wrong when I upload the theme to the server, there was someone else who asked for md5checksum on the theme.

I'll be back later tonight when I tried

Hi, I am looking for a rom for my mum's htc hero, as it is running horribly on stock 2.1, things take for ever to load, everything fc's. It's just getting usable. I have the htc desire running cm7 s-on, and I used unrevoked to root and to flash a custom recovery. Could some one help me out with these questions please?

- what is this rom like for speed, reliably and battery life compared to stock 2.1 please?

-Can you us unrevocked in the same way as rooting the desire as the hero, or is their a safer or easier way to do it for the hero?

-does anyone know of a video on you tube of this rom in action please, just to help show her the differences?

- Does the hero have the s-on protection as the desire and other newer htc phone have?

Sorry for these silly questions, I just what my parents to have the best possible experience with their phone, and I love flashing things!:)

Thanks very much :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
THANK YOU ELELINUX! You did it! The app works! Officially the best GB ROM out there whooo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BassOperators:
it can be seen in the color of the widget message.

These sharp transitions feature of the gingerbread.

I installed the latest 2.3 and watched the same thing.

just wondering what to say to Elelinux ....

Why are all 2.3 to hero as cutting bit color ... or is it called like that on another?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well, what answer it then, no idea, sure the graphics are not the best but I do not feel it quite like you do, perhaps because of my poor eyesight :D :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BassOperators:
All this probably does not matter, because no one pays any attention to it.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I noticed the colour thing too. its very obvious to mee on the xda app startup splash screen. on pre 2.3 ROMS the background colour gradient was smooth. now its not as smooth. Im not bothered by it but I thought id just say I noticed it too.

p.s. im still running cronos 0.0.9 so i thought the problem was limited to that ROM but it seems its a more general GB thing
