[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marchard:
Hi Ele! Thanks for updating. I'm curious: could you tell us, what you have done exactly to solve the touch screen issue? I'm asking because i also have a device with touch screen problems, but i believe that it is hardware related. Thanks in advance!

LLAP, Marc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FrestylerST:
3.6->3.8

Can I update from 3.6->3.8 or I must install 3.7 first and than update it to 3.8?

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeatsByMessi:
No you don't have to do that. You can just go straight to 3.8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
You can flash 3.8 over 3.6 but first wipe cache and dalvik-cache.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pochopsp:
why dead runner doesn't work? on the stock rom was playable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cyrille28410:
It seems a bug is not corrected at this time : the USB debug mode notification.

How can I enable it ? Actually, it's impossible to access the SD Card
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
usb mount works fine, can access sdcard from computer. About usb debug mode notification dunno what to say, it is enabled in Settings->Applications-> Developement but it's not shown in the notification window.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cyrille28410:
Ok, this is on not show in the notification window :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fantoci6:
With my Hero the problem with the touch is still on.

When I'm typing sms sometimes the buttons are touched themselves,sometimes not. But when I'm trying to search something in the browser it's like "poltergeist having a Hero". Sometimes the touch is off and I'm using the trackball.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Viper780:
This is a common problem to the generation of Touchscreens like the Hero or the Iphone 3G/3GS. I had it on my hero to. The digitizer (for the touchinput) is peeling of the screen.

Mine was replaced because it was in warranty. You could order an new diplay with digitizer over eBay or just turn off the Phone, dissemble it (when you are skilled enough then you should only have the screen in your hand - if not than only put a way the easy removable parts like the battery, SD- and SIM card) and heat the display with an hair-dryer, hot air gun or something similar. After very slowly cooling it down it should work again.

hi,

on previous ROM,

contacts picture doesnt sync with facebook and/or twitter profile picture.

how about current ROM?

and email 3.2 is broken link
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
e-mail problems

Hi, I tried searching this thread, but found nothing (it's getting too big).

I have a small problem with e-mail on v3.8. It stops synchronizing from time to time and I have to restart the app. Has anyone else got this and solved it?

Also, the link to e-mail 3.2 apk in the first post is borken. Is this what this apk was supposed to solve?

Thanks and great ROM. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
No, that app was to solve a broken e-mail app. If I remember correctly it was because cm introduced color labels for the email which didn't work, and therefore the app from version 2.3 was made flashable.

Try clearing your email app data or install k9 if the problem persists.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fantoci6:
I have a small problem. When I'm trying to install the new ROM - choose zip from sdcard it says No files found.

Did someone have the same problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeatsByMessi:
no i've never had that problem. also when you click on 'choose zip from sd card' it should show you every file on your card. maybe try removing your sd card and then inserting it again and try again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fantoci6:
It was the SD card.I changed it with another one and everything was fine :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tintumat:
Im running on 2.3.7 but my phone is very slow and laggy, is there any CPU setting i can change to rectify this issue.

Current CPU Setting is ONDEMAND

Max: 576 Mhz

Min: 264 Mhz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faZevoLv:
Try this:

smartass v2

Max: 652mhz

Min: 176mhz

Works great for me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
Any updates?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
No updates. Elelinux has dropped his support for this rom and I don't know what he can update in it. It is pretty much complete and final...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
If I have some spare time this week, it will be a update to CM 7.2 stable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
What changes will be made?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kingcharles1666:
Would a version with the LV1.2 kernel be possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Demetris:
Would be great elelinux, i hope you find some eventually.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Yes. It will be possible and I think that it will be more faster/stable than Flykernel or HeroKernel...

I have found out what are the changes. It is nothing major, just changing the base to stable CM 7.2 release for Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
Do you mean all the changes in CM 7.2 source code since 4/28 (when this ROM was built) is just version number update?

I remembered somebody mentioned memory leak or other issue in CM 7.2, not sure whether it's already fixed in this ROM or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It is easy to change the kernel for those who want, so I choose to keep flykernel in this release

This rom is based on all the latest changes in CM-source until 2012-06-25, I compiled it then but have not had time to try the rom but are working with it now, hopefully all works as intended then it will be a release later tonight and I hope all the memory issues are gone given that it is a stable release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
Cool, I was just about to flash this because 1ceb0x´s ROM is not yet stable enough for everyday use imo so I ll wait and flash your rom later tonight if you put out a cool stable release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
what problems do you have with the rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The rom are updated, read the changelog for the installation, I take the opportunity to thank everyone who supported me over the years, enjoy this last release from me in this series Gingerbread rom's for Hero. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
Some random force closes and from time to time it has huge laggs. Plus I am not sure if its related to the rom but my alarm does not go off when the screen is off which it used to do pretty fine. (I have not flashed the latest version though)

Minor problems but I think I ll wait until it is a bit more stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
v3 it is stable. It doesn't have those issues anymore and I'm on the verge to release v3.1.

on topic: great work dude. nice knowing you. have a good one with your current phone ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Elelinux, why are you doing this??? After using almost all of your roms in the last 18 month I recently switched to Shpongle some days ago (which is a fast and reliable rom, too) and now you are offering your updated rom!

Jesus, I hate you! :mad:

No, that's not true -I really appreciate all of your work in last month and years. Thank you very much and all the best for you!

Greetings from germany,

Tom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
Cool, I ll wait until you have a more final version, I ll let you tweak as much as possible and then try it out again. As said I like it but I think you can still do better :)

@Elelinux: Dude what have you done! All of a sudden I get connection in my room, I never had connection lol and it seems very fast. These are just first impressions though :) but good job
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
lol :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Elelinux, can you PM me what changes (internally) you've done to it? Because it feels smoother than untouched cm 7.2. It will help me also with my rom, If you are kind enough to provide your skill to other small 'developers' like me :)!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faZevoLv:
@Elelinux, great Rom, I've used them all and this is definately the best yet:D would you be able to compile B2G from source?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
@ Great Job Elelinux ! Ty for this final update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
Ya, using it for a day now and it runs perfectly smooth with only 1 FC so far and that was solved after clearing market data.

Great job and thanks for your work Elelinux:good:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
Perfect ROM, very smooth and stable in several days usage.

The first time I flashed v3.9 lite then LV1.2 but found lags, so did a complete full wipe then flash v3.9 lite only. No lag then. I don't know if particularly for this ROM FlyKernel performs better than LV...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Nice to hear :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AntonioTrindade:
Best ROM ever!!!

This is the best ROM ever!!! It feels even smoother than the original Android 1.6 with Sense this phone was released with... :-)

Even though I do not use my Hero as I used to (upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S II...), this ROM makes me want to use it more...

Elelinux: would you be interested in joining the SGS2 development community. Should you ever make a ROM for the S2, I will gladly install it withou questioning (well, almost...) :-)

Good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Thank you, I'm glad when people are happy, regarding to SGS2 I have no samsung at all just a bunch of different HTC's and a couple of Iphones to, but maybe some day I buy myself a Samsung :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nscxp2005:
Ele would you consider porting ICS to the Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kenleong:
can anyone upload the font package from this rom? I need to push it into mine (for full chinese character support)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Elelinux, I can't thank you enough for your effort end for all the fantastic roms you let us. Downloading the last one and I've no doubts that is PERFECT :cool:

Thanks for everything!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
Thanks Ele, once again you gave us a "smooth as butter" rom.

Excellent on my Hero!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] michael_hk:
Just want to thank Ele again for this excellent ROM. This is simply amazing and extend the life of our Hero.

BTW, is anyone here planing to try ICS here?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nuustik:
Tried 2.3 today and I must say that it's too much for my Hero (with just 60 MB of spare RAM after a fresh boot).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fitoma:
Hi there,

gave my little old Hero to my girlfriend a while ago when I got my Optimus 2x and never came to this post again. Now she is complaining about laggyness so I'll flash it the latest build.

I'm amazed elelinux still supported this ROM for so long. Thank you so much for giving our Heros this extra live! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kojitabe:
Glad to see that you still here,Ele.

I just flashed this rom before say goodbye to my little hero.

Glad to know you since the first time i use my hero.

Thanks for you and all great people here for the hardwork and everything you have done for this community.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefankorun:
Hey, I couldn't find the difference between the light and the normal version. Could someone be kind to explain them to me ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Non-necessary have been removed from the ROM, eg. Theme chooser. Other than that they are equal. The light just uses less /system space :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CrashBX:
I have heard that this rom let's you overclock your hero up to 1ghz, is that correct? Sounds crazy I know but I hope it's true

Source:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeatsByMessi:
haha no no no no no no no :laugh: your hero would probably internally combust. its not possible to overclock the hero to 1ghz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CrashBX:
That is kinda what I expected, doubling the cpu speed is just asking too much from this phone :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nightm:
Great ROM but...

Hi, fantastic ROM, thank for it! I just have a problem for some time - Market/Play does not work as it should. It stopped allowing installing apps (in most but not all apps there is "your device is not supported"). I could even install app but after few restart when I enter it's Market/Play page there is "your device is not supported" info.

I've installed custom fingerptints from the first post and it helped for few reboots but then again "your device is not supported" info appeared.

Does my changing LCD Density app could be the problem or something else?

Thanks for help, keep up good work!

EDIT:

Yes, it was Density changing that caused problem. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Leaving my precious Hero

I bought a samsung galaxy s3 and I'm leaving my precious hero (it was my first android :victory:).

Elelinux thank you very much for all the fantastic roms you made for this little but huge phone. Thanks for your support and inspiration.

I hope I can see more of your work in the galaxy S3 foruns. :cool::fingers-crossed:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buralien:
Just wanted to report that after upgrade from 3.7-light to 3.9-light, I'm having problems with 3G. Most of the time after I switch to 3G, the phone doesn't even connect at all. After couple of minutes, it lets me change back to 2G and signal is restored.

I understand that a fix is unlikely, so just a heads up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kemoba:
Did you wipe data and cache ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buralien:
Cache yes, data no. I might do that eventually, but I can live without it for now. I don't notice much difference between the two versions anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manouchk:
Hi,

I installer this ROM yesterday and I did not found google Play on it. Is it normal? (I guess not). I wiped what was said to be wiped but I found that cache aplications were not empty after update. Is it normal?

I installed old market but it says market is not installed. I will try another installation running rm -rf in order to clean things better as suggested.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:
Try to flash gapps. It should work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manouchk:
I flashed gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip but it did not change anything. No new program was made available in the menu application.

By the way, I installed Elelinux-7.2-Hero-v3.9 Stable (not the light version). Google Play is not included in it? I hope I don't ask too dumb questions, I've not read much about latest android evolution. I may be missing something obvious!

I did not do the cleanest installation possible because I did not run mount /system && rm -rf /system/* && umount /system because I couldn't run adb from my computer (64bits linux) but I'm trying to repair this and try to do that. So far, that's the only things that I could imagine too solve this problem! If anyon could give some input, I'll be glad for some help!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kemoba:
It's a bug with the latest gapps, extract Vending.apk from the zip and run from cmd or terminal

adb remount

adb shell

cd system/app

rm Vending.apk

exit

adb push Vending.apk /system/app

adb shell

chmod 644 system/app/Vending.apk

where in adb push Vending.apk the Vending.apk is the one you extracted from the zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manouchk:
I finally reconfigured things and could acess via adb. I also did a fresh new installation cleanning /system but I didn't get anything diferente. No market or Google Play. How do you install software with this ROM?

Well after that I runned what you suggested copying a new Vending.apk. It's just Vending.apk or all the stuff?

/ # md5sum /system/app/Vending.apk
95735a2e2235577fe02d5c63563d2552 /system/app/Vending.apk
/ # md5sum /sdcard/Vending.apk
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e /sdcard/Vending.apk
/ # cp /system/app/Vending.apk /sdcard/Vending_orig.apk
/ # rm /system/app/Vending.apk
/ # cp /sdcard/Vending.apk /system/app/
/ # chmod 644 system/app/Vending.apk

Anyway did not improve anything here. No market and no Google Play what so ever. A bit lost! What do you people do with it if you can't install software? :confused:

ps: New market flashable option is not avalaible anymore to this link:

http://www.sylvainvh.be/elelinux/new-market-2011-07-18.zip

Is it the reason for what I'm having problem? Market is really an option?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kemoba:
Well you try another ROM, eventhough im not sure why this one is not working, it worked for me every time, sorry about that...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manouchk:
New market flashable option is not avalaible anymore to this link:

http://www.sylvainvh.be/elelinux/new...2011-07-18.zip

Is it the original reason for what I'm having problem? Market is really an option?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:
Try this to get new market working:

- Download 3.9.16 version, and rename it "vending.apk"

- put it in system/app (replace older version)

- tap on it to start installing.

- wait for "application installed"

- reboot

- it should work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manouchk:
Well, there is an old version only if it was flashed. The ROM don't have any market on it. "Funny" thing, I installed Ligux and got the same problem! I will try more things tomorrow! Getting late here in Brazil. I think I'm getting old!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:
It doesn't matter. If there's no "vending.apk" to replace, just put the new apk in system/app, and install it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manouchk:
Well infact, after doing this, I can't see any way to acess directly google play but I installed BAM (Best Aplication Market) and if I select to install a software in BAM. Google play just opens! Though it's on gilinux now, I guess I may have the same behaviour with elelinux. I just can't see the Google Play icon in the application menu.

In fact, I think my Hero does not have write acess on the system partition. Could that right improve something? That may be the reason why I don't see this icon, at some point it would have to gain access to write on the system partition in order to do that? I'm just speculating but I'd like to understand what's going on. Looks like I'm the only facing this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:
Try with estrong file explorer (you can set root access and mount writable /system folder in the settings)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Out of interest, this is the battery life when you don't use the phone.... :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well, that was in my opinion not so good :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hammadjavaid:
How can i delete Gallery 2D and install Gallery 3D ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mGi00:
The Galler 3D is a standard "equipment" in this ROM, if I´m not mistaken :P

I assume you removed the 3D and installed 2D with the link in the 1st post, there is an bad reference (spelling) Galley2D.

I´m not mistaken you can remove the 2D gallery with titanium backup (or another apk), but dont know how to install the 3D after the uninstalling.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lazzarone:
hi guys, whit this rom battery life is good or not? i'm using latest of cyanogen but battery life is too short:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shabaz1978:
One thing

I love this Rom its great Peace of work but i have only one problem with it ,, its so slow on my hero and some time lag is there any Fix for that ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] remi_g:
May be buy a new phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:
This answer is kinda stupid... and absolutely useless.

@shabaz1978 : Try to install Launcher Pro instead of your launcher. Also, you can overclock the CPU to increase the speed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No in Amon ra´s latest recovery you have option´s

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

theese two I always wipe when I update or flash a option

Edit: if you wipe user data then you loose your settings,this you only should use if you want to do a clean install (new installation)

Edit2:On the market you have a app called cache mate,that one you can use to,an easy way to clean cache
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tatwamasi:
Yeah, I don't have the latest. That's what we were asking about really. On my recovery User Data and Cache wipe look like they're bundled together.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Those of you who get the boot loops, a thought that struck me what recovery do you use ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tatwamasi:
Updated my recovery image :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoff_allix:
I thought the same, but get Amon RA 1.7.0.1 and you will have Wipe Cache as well as Wipe Dalvik Cache

Edit: About 20 replies got in before me :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoff_allix:
Has anyone tried FlyKernel 11c with SmartAss governor? This seems to be the kernel of choice for Cronos users and fixes a lot of their problems - FCs, GPS etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
I used Titanium to recover my apps,

I am now downloading v 0,51 see what happens... Hoping!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
also updated my recovery. saves me having to factory reset. good news :)

just another thing I noticed about the ROM. The colour gradient thing seems to be there. Dont know how to explain it in words but if you open the XDA app the blending of the background colour of the brown splash is not smooth. theres like stepwise changes in colour. This was also the case with other GB ROMS i tried but Feeyo seemed to have fixed it in 1.1.0 (the version with animations). though it was also back in the performance edition.

its only a minor issue but I thought id mention it. maybe you can see what he did to get rid of it in the non-PE version of his ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I think he means what version of Amon Ra or other recovery image do you use. i think...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] withoutwings:
Amon RA

Sent from my HTC Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
Well thats posible too, I am using amon ra 1.7.0.1 and TB pro 1.8.6.

Just flashed the new v0,51 ROM and now I am getting a lot of fc's I did a full wipe, retsrted my phone twice, then recovered all my app using tit bu pro then started zeam, took out the launcher from system,apps. during this process I allready had a few fc's... It looks as if the lock screen is not reacting, it fc-ed on me a few times.

So whats next? Wipe again?

Can set cpu cause these problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Going to try this rom rightnow ;) Rightnow I'm at cyanogenmod 7 build 7, but I don't like the coppyness sometimes :( So I think this will be a good try ;)

I'll report ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I am using setcpu without any problems.

I would try factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. wipe ext. flash rom. reboot. install apps

if you still get fc's it must be something to do with your apps because thats exactly what i did and I have no fc's (at the moment).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:
Hello guys, whats the benchmark of this new rom?

how fast is it?

is it better to update to this rom if using floyo 1.2? (just your opunion)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Yes, update ! :D
