Open up the terminal emulator on your phone, then type:

"su" (press enter and accept superuser request)

"pm enable com.android.vending"

After you enter the last line, a confirmation dialog will shortly appear stating that the market updater.apk has been disabled, and viola! You'll be able to revert to the old market without it updating automatically.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
@Elelinux : I came across a post made by AdmcPL in another topic and it made me wonder, as until now, I forgot the Hero's full specifications ... Now all Roms use 190MB of RAM instead of 288MB RAM that the Hero has. Why is that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
all right, it can be done :)

Ele, thanks for answering, I think i can help :)

You enabled the "TARGET_WEBCORE_ENABLE_GIF" flag, but i don't think this was enough (or maybe not needed at all). I'll detail on this below:

In one of my previous posts, I've seen this change done in the CM sources. Basically, the guy was enabling this flag in the "Android.mk" file (i think this is somewhat the same with your "BoardConfig.mk" file), but was also making changes in the "/platform/graphics/android/ImageSourceAndroid.cpp" file. Specifically, he was setting the "ANDROID_GIF_MAX_SIZE" constant to a value of 32px. This way, when rendering a GIF animation, the device was either checking to see if it had *a lot* of memory, or if the GIF file was bigger in size than ANDROID_GIF_MAX_SIZE x ANDROID_GIF_MAX_SIZE pixels (32x32) in this case.

After his commit, I've seen small GIF files (specifically forum emoticons :D) being animated properly; but unfortunately most GIFs are larger than 32x32px in size.

To sum it up, the value of the "ANDROID_GIF_MAX_SIZE" definition needs to be further increased (480, 640, maybe more as this code only has impact when this code is executed)

Some more info: I've discussed this with the guy that made the commit (Emilio López) and he said that he does think that increasing the "ANDROID_GIF_MAX_SIZE" constant is possible for the HERO device. If you need further info, don't hesitate to ask. I don't have a lot of experience with Android core development, but i'll do my best to help you in anyway possible :).

I have broken theme, it appears blank in themes list and I can't find the way to remove it, it's called cyanbread UOT, any ideas how to get rid of it? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radix1980:
Welcome back Ele!!

Nice to see you here again....

Could you please include Flykernel 13 in CM7 nigthlies??

Thank you very much..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radix1980:
Me again,

It is strange. I have flashed flykernel 13 in the last CM7 built (2.3.7) and my hero can not sync (the batery and time indicators are always in white).

Do you have the same problem with the Ele's last build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
More of a Cyanogen thing but a strange little bug: When selecting a background image for the lockscreen the selection box is square (ie. the wrong aspect ratio) and therefore the image is shown squashed.

Actually just testing it appears that it does show correctly on some images and not others. Weirdly it's almost as if it's detecting faces in the pictures and selecting that!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
With latest version of this rom my phone is very hot all the time and battery is draining in few hours. That's strange.

Have added options for older fingerprints on the first post, for thoose how have issues with market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Henkjoost:
okay,

I downloaded light version...

my gf hero is very not-uptodate

wich kernel do you advice me to flash? (where can I find it)

where can i find the latest recovery? (searched the whole forum)(or will rommanager take care of this for me?)

wich radio do you advice me to flash? (where can I find it)

really thanks in case you take the time to help me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
1: Keep the kernel, which is included in the rom

2: You can use clockwork or amon' ra as recovery

3: Radio, look at the screenshot on first post " and use google to find it "
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
after one year on froydvillain it was about time to move on, i got myself ele's latest rom. after one day i'm quite satisfied with it's stability and resposivness, the battery also seems quite happy with it.

the only thing i couldn't done right is changing clothes to HTC.elegance. i flashed .zip file many times without success, also did it via file manager. both process seemed to end successfully but there were no HTC.elegance, even after rebooting. what did i do wrong??

ps - im on 7.1.0-RC1 light, changed default launcher with launcher pro. all other .zip files i flashed did their job...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Enabling old market

I did as you said but it didn't work. The confirmation dialogue that apeared was "com.android.vending new status: enabled" and the old market kept updating..:(

But your suggestion reminded me to freeze " market updater" with titanium backup and now it's problem solved!

But I wish to know why it didn't work using your method..:confused:

Thank you very much!!;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Same here. Any hints what might fix this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
wipe battery stats.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

It should've said "new status: disabled" meaning that it was already disabled? :S confusing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Henkjoost:
Try

>su

>pm disable com.android.vending

Than install old market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Hi there,

I was just wondering, I tried to set my background to the picture of a terraced view of a hill at sundown but I couldn't find it anymore in Elelinux Wallpaper picker.

Where can I get that picture?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
Why there's a need to flash theme .zip files...shouldn't Theme Chooser application do the job?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Installed the latest 3.5 without wipe all, just dalvik and cache... so far everything working correctly.

This rom seem very far compare to the previous one, and my gallery 3D is flying!

Battery life excellent.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
It is true that you can download CM themes from the Market, and there is a theme chooser built into the ROM, but I don't think Ele's sense CM theme isn't hosted on there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes that's right, my theme can not be found on market but on first post there are options like theme chooser+theme manager and my theme thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993277
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond Geezer:
So forgive me if I'm Doing something wrong here but I'm trying to get the old market on there with no sucess.

I do the "pm disable com.android.vending" and get the disabled message.

This causes the market thumbnail to disappear and it is greyed out in settings/manage apps/

i.e. the market app has been disabled.

I reboot into recovery and flash old_market_signed.zip.

Reboot the phone and the market app is still greyed out and still shows version 3.1.5 (new version)

I run "pm enable com.android.vending" and this activates the app but it's still the new one.

It seems running "pm disable/enable com.android.vending" just disable/enables the app and not the updating of the app.

I also tried the origional "pm enable com.android.vending" and flashing the old market but the app just updates itself

should it be enable or disable ? Are the original instructions a typo ?

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
As I said I solved by freezing market updater using titanium backup. But I'll try as you both said. Meanwhile I'm going to try Ele's development version..:D

I upgrade only with wipe cache and dalvik, and its so stable :)

Super fast, my battery lasts for 3/4 days with normal use.

many sms

wifi 1 or 2 hours per day.

the best rom i installed on my hero.

Congrats Elelinux for the big work.

I hope that you continue with the hero roms :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manfio:
I have the same problem.

But, i unistall the market with the titanium, then restart the phone to recovery, wipe dalvik chache and then falsh the zip with the old market...

it work, the old market is back and dont updat any more.

sorry my bad english :D

and you have another alternative.

with the adb, remove the marketupdater
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LBStreamer:
I switched from SalsaSense to this rom because it was dropping half of my incoming texts, plus it was slow...

Anyway, I saw a little problem, the GPS is very accurate to indicate the position but... only the phone can display the location. As you can see on this photo : http://www.mygb.eu/freecenter/IMG_20111008_171507.jpg

there is no good exif gps informations...

Any idea how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grea09:
Just go in Settings>Cyanogen Mod>Performances>CPU>smartass v2 and 650+ for max frequency

It solves the problem for me.

I hope I don't annoy anyone but, I've a set of issues on my phone :

1) Google+ app is no longer shown as compatible for my phone

2) Take a look at http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...s-all-new-interface-better-controls-and-more/

I've got a force close whatever I do with this app. Everybody else seems to make it working.

I don't know if this is the phone or the rom but it's rather strange since we are in Android 2.3.7
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have anyone test this build yet ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grea09:
I'm on the way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I'm flashing the test build right now over v3.5. Will report back later after I use it for some time.

Edit: Test build v3.5.1 works fine for what I use my phone (games, social networks, browsing the web, email, sms and calls), I like the new background thing of HTC Elegance Theme you've done in Settings, it's in Root Explorer as well and I guess it's present somewhere else too. I think that is as smooth as v3.5 and by that I mean it's fast. Great Job !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grea09:
No bugs to report as far as i test it. It seems faster to me but it may be an illusion.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Have been running 3.5 since yesterday and its really impressive. Will be interested in next build when it's official.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Until now test build v3.5.1 is working with no bugs except the problem of the old market constantly being updated, reported a few posts back.

It seems as fast as v3.5. I like the background thing, too, but an option to change it could be a good thing. (If already exists, sorry but I couldn't see it).

Fantastic work Elelinux! I'm stuck with your rom's. :p

I quote myself as I would like to know if someone has arrived to install Google+ app from market. If so, it is probably an error on my google account, else if someone can tell me how can I change the device string to make like it was a HTC Sensation or other recent phone.

... a little bit of topic, but i hope it helps with the annoying market update: did you know you can access market.android.com directly from the computer? there you can log in with your Google account and choose what applications to install on your phone directly.

Btw, @Ele did you manage to have a look over my last post (regarding another way on how to activate the GIF support)? Is there anything that can be done regarding this? :D

Hi Ele,

I know that the new kernel was uploaded to CM7 nigthlies. I've installed the stable built but the kernel is still 12a.

Could you have a look what is going on??? (I am sorry to be so annoying)

Thank you very much
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
ele changed it to the original hero kernel a while back because of LV kernel draining battery....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
I think he is referring to flykernel 13.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
if the kernel is 12a then it's got the same improvements from fly12 than fly13 have. fly12 performs terribly with certain games, but this rom's default kernel performs great with the same games.

So whatever the kernel version is in this rom, it's effectively as good as we're going to get out of the hero using a stable kernel version (which must be .29 for the time being).

when .35 or .36 becomes stable (which is imho highly unlikely, but I'm sure erasmux and riemer and everyone else are still trying...) then that will probably become the default kernel in cm roms for the gsm hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Don't forget the unmentionable one :D

I noticed a little "thing": In the menu«About phone», when I press «System tutorial» this error appears: «The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.». And force closes.

This menu option is of no use for me but I leave this to Elelinux and anyone interested.

"Old Market"

Is anybody experiencing the bug with Market (2.2.11) where under the "My apps" menu, it only shows Google apps, and apps that you've paid for, and not every app downloaded via market?

On that note, has anybody come across a .zip with the very oldest version of android market? (The one with the really basic 3 tabs at the top) If anyone could point me in that direction, I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks.

Alarms

Trying 3.5.1 - all well, except that when I set an alarm on the clock, the text accompanying the list of alarms has disappeared. All blanks! Tapping on one of them gives all the options as usual. Not found any other places where this occurs as yet. Something to do with the new font settings perhaps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
@vikashhero : I have the same problem on v.3.5 but not on v3.4 after restoring apps using TB... anyway to make all apps installed from the market be visible in My Apps section you need to go to Settings-> Applications-> All-> Market and press Clear Data... after that reboot your phone and all your apps will be available on the Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bram77:
How does the speed of this rom compare to the speed of the CM6 version? I've installed this rom (previous version) on my girlfriends Hero and, although it's stable and running pretty well, she wishes she had my Desire HD. There is no way the Hero can compare to the DHD in terms of speed of course, but as long as she doesn't have the money for a new phone I's like to squeeze every bit of performance out of the old hog. Which of the two roms is the best option in this case? Or is there another rom I should use? Cutting edge is not so important to her.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
you want performance? install 2.1 aosp/cm, VE6.1

that is WAY faster than any other rom. WAY faster.

but there are some small limitations, such as the bluetooth integration is pretty basic without any voice control over bluetooth. there is some app compatibility stuff that comes up once in a while, such as google+ which I think doesn't work on it (at least not well, can't remember if it runs at all though).

Still, ve6.1 with launcherpro is so insanely fast that it makes every other rom seem slow by comparison. every one.

I keep going back to it. only reason I'm not currently using it is because (a) it doesn't seem to run waze at all which is just a personal thing, I like and use waze as my main gps app, but google nav works great still so not a real problem for most people. and (b) it doesn't have power control toggles in the notification bar. There is a free market app that sort of makes up for that, but it's not QUITE as good as the real thing.

STill, those are pretty small problems with an otherwise insanely fast rom.

oh and if you do flash ve6, flash fly kernel 13 afterwards also because it makes things even better in all kinds of subtle ways. performance, battery, features.

EDIT: ok ok, so I didn't answer your question LoL. sorry! I get off topic sometimes :-)

it's not QUITE as fast as the cm6 version. not quite. however it is a little more complete and I find the gps support etc to be a little better in thsi rom than in the cm6 version by elelinux.

speed wise, 2.1 > 2.2 > 2.3. so ve6 > speed machine > ele's cm7 3.5 gb rom. However, features are opposite to that of course. one negates the other.

and imho all sense roms are a littel slower than all aosp roms and all sense roms use battery a little faster than all aosp roms. Or so it seems. That is just a generalization though and there are probably exceptions to the battery use rule.

Sense roms also imho tend to gradually slow down with extended use. AOSP roms on the other hand tend to speed up if anything, at least ve6 speeds up the more you use it and if you reboot it a couple of times from my experience.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] teslaw:
Hi,

One thing with 3.5.1 - with elegance theme I cannot see alarm descriptions on list of alarms in default clock app.

Otherwise works great, save for random restarts when using Waze,

but it seems not limited to this ROM.

Big fan of Speedx 3d, and i have Zen 2 + 3, 2 being my favorite, but they're a little laggy at times. I asked this because i thought most games brought the hero to it's knees due to performance requirements.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bobbylouman:
If you press the options tab while in game there is a setting called quality which has High, Mid, Low. Set it to low and it should run much better.

ele, are you gonna update this rom with the stable sources any time soon?

cuz I want latest CM stable but with your tweaks and tricks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wayferer:
Not sure what went wrong but my wireless has stopped working all of a sudden. It won't scan or connect to any WiFi networks. I have been using this ROM since the latest release was released and it has been working perfectly.

Things I have tried:

- Two different physical locations (home and work)

- Updated my radio (I was already on the latest version but thought it was worth a try) but it didn't help

- Installed a different ROM (Floyo 1.4) to see if it was my phone or not, the WiFi worked fine

Any thoughts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
perhaps your 7.1.0 rom got corrupted? you could try reflashing it.
