After installing the Google talk 1.3 I kept getting force close in Google talk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] godovic:
+1

Same here... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well have not tried myself,have you tried to clean data from talk ? and if it not work remove it with adb or wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash the rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] godovic:
I have tried everything.. the new google talk 1.3 zip removed Google Voice apps from the list and does not start - force close

From CM 7 to Elelinux 7.1.0

It rocks! Now I can see the light (and the popups!) thanx! thanx! thanx! thanx!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow, if it isn't one thing it's another thing eh Ele? :-)

congrats on nailing issue after issue systematically!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] afeeq:
Ele.. this rom was great. I Just flashing to v2.3.. 1st flashing led button work but when i setting my phone then i reboot led button do not.. so what acttualy happen..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Are testing some new settings, has pushed some to the cm-source, but above all the CPU in our phone it is weak, to help it along and increase the speed including the boot speed.Now choosing to move to ODEX builds o test.

For those who want to try and come from previous v2.3, wipe of cache and dalvik cache,new install wipe of all (including factory reset). This is a test build, a sneakpeak on what will come next time, what I want you to test is how you perceive the boot time, speed of the system and display brightness.

http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/71677121/file.html

Enjoy :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rner:
No significant differences in boot speed, at least for me:

I/SurfaceFlinger( 87): Boot is finished (23313 ms) - 2.3

I/SurfaceFlinger( 87): Boot is finished (23121 ms) - 2.4

Time till SIM unlock screen is 46 seconds for 2.3, and 47 for 2.4 - so, no visible difference.

As for generic ROM speed - that needs more testing.

BTW, how do you compile CM7.1 sources with "WITH_DEXPREOPT := true" option?

I'm getting the following:

acp: file 'out/target/product/hero/dex_bootjars/system/framework/core.odex' does not exist
make: *** [out/target/product/hero/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/core_intermediates/javalib.odex] Error 1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
As far as I know odex files will only increase the speed of the first of boot (no need to build dalvik cache). After the dalvik-cache is built I don't think there is any difference between odexed and deodexed files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lemmingzappa:
I haven't noticed any boot speed differences yet. Always good to experiment though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I compile with " WITH_DEXPREOPT := true " in BoardConfig.mk ,now I have not measured as accurately only through the user experience.

It is good to get some input from others as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The idea was indeed the first boot, among other things that take a long time for an update to new version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jcah73:
Hello Ele.

what is the kernel used in this version?

Now I have the las venturas 4.5 in your version 2.3 ( and work very well)

I like your roms are fantastic.... thanks..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
You can see what kernel is being used by going to:

Menu>Settings>About Phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iknorr:
I installed TB after i installed 2.2.

I then installed 2.3 with wipe of cache and dalvik cache.

I downloaded ADW and the buttons now work.

Im gonna have a fiddle about with it to see if i can figure out what happened or replicate the issue or find a solution/work around.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
only after you flash the rom :-)

I havne't flashed it yet so it would be good to know which kernel is in the rom first :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
I believe ele switched back to the Flykernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Can this rom use HTC-CIME?

Hi elelinux,

I would like to ask whether this rom can use HTC-CIME keyboard or not? Thankyou very much. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
You can. It is under options in the first post :) remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jcah73:
I flashed 2.4 and kernel is HeroKernel-12a.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zaxxxx:
G. Talk 1.3 removal

Can we get old working Google talk app and removal of 1.3 in .ZIP form.

Please.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
HTC_CIME does not work in AOSP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added that option :D

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tibbyke:
Mr. Elelinux where I can find the .zip fila that removes my default messaging application?:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Good question that I ask myself to,made a new you find under options. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
Hi Ele,

just wanna to say that I really appreciate Your work, thanks for atm most full and smart ...etc 2.3 GB Rom for Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
and don't be sad, Suomi won but the next year who knows....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
ATM I'm happy finnish and living in Sweden :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olive127:
Hi elelinux,

Thanks for your roms, I was using v 2.1 and this morning I've flashed to your preview version 2.4, it's running fine.

The big difference between 2.1 and 2.4 I see is that when I clicked on the phone button to open the dialer or on the contacts shortcut, it could take something like 5 or 7 seconds to open, in 2.1. Now with 2.4, it opens as normal, in less than a second.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this.

Thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Elelinux, i can't access some of the options, they aren't on your shutdown server, are they? :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I haven't tried 2.4, but i agree, it takes to much time to open apps in 2.3. If i want to try 2.4, can i go back to 2.3 with only cache and dalvik wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MudriGoga:
Where can I download the 2.4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
There is a post on page 302 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
no, you cant' go back to 2.3 just wiping cache/dalvik. Just make a nandroid backup of your actual system. Then wipe cache+dalvik, flash 2.4 and try that release... If you do not like it, restore your nandroid backup and that's it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tibbyke:
Is it necesary to instal any memory optimizer on this rom, or he can manage my ram memory by hisself?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I had the opposite result... quick dialer opening on 2.1, 5-7 seconds for dialer to open in thsi rom. BUT I wasn't running the stock aosp dialer in this rom :-). any third party dialers (like touchpal or youlu) add really logn load times since they don't stay in memory very well in this rom.

Which leads me to ask you ele: you might want to touch base with erasmux in his sense gb thread again. today I read of some suggested autokiller settings which apparently improve multitasking and the ability for the rom to keep apps in memory successfully. I don't know if maybe your rom is already set up as well as it can be, knowing you it probably is... you're very thorough. But it's worth reading just in case it can improve things like running third party dialer apps withotu them always being killed, and improving multitasking in general.

Cheers

Don

if you want to check what levels you have you can download 'android system info' from the market and view the 'low memory levels' on the 2nd tab. If the levels are too high (like default in GB ROMs) you can reduce the levels using minfreemanager.

I would be interested to know what the default levels are in this ROM so if you get the chance could you find out and list them. thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Defaults are:

Foreground_app: 6.00MB

Visible_app: 8.00MB

Secondary_Server: 16MB

Hidden_app: 36.00MB

Content_Provider: 40.00MB

Empty_App: 40.00MB

What are they on a Froyo or Eclair ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
they seem fine to me. Dont know what they are off the top of my head but I custom set mine to:

6MB

8MB

20MB

30MB

55MB

90MB

on all ROMs and multitasking seems to be ok for me. If they are the defaults I doubt its these levels that are causing the long load times for 3rd party apps that dkelley suggested.

I have set these on GB sense too and multitasking is ok
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
I've changed those settings, I'll let you know how they work out ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Hmm I would've thought your original values would be better for multi tasking but I may be wrong. Will be interesting to hear your findings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Don ,what is a concern, you know, I know there are apps to download to change the values​​, how hard can it be.I have chosen a policy, the default values ​​supplied with rom works perfectly for this rom, since if you want third party apps, it's up to as a user and also change the values ​​lowmemory if you want.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tibbyke:
I flashed these on my hero on this rom:

opengl-1.1-special-edition-final

remove_stock_mms

flash_for_21

After these my phone won`t start! It stays on the Android logo forever!

What is needed to do? :mad:

Elelinux could you make some zips to revert this flashings? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well,flash don't work with aosp and opengl 1.1 is already included,best way for you is to wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash the rom,then you will not lose any settings etc...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tibbyke:
Thanks Elelinux for your quick respose and for your help! Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's logical. I'm just not running this rom right now because of the problem with third party dialers taking several seconds to load when coming out of sleep or from other apps. So I can't try autokiller settings - instead I thought I'd mention what I was reading in case it's helpful.

I'll wait to hear if anyone can manage to get third party dialers working quickly and reliably before I come back to this rom.

Cheers and again congrats on having the best gb rom for the hero (not to mention the CM version).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Demetris:
Flawless

Thanks for the great rom,

i really like the crt like screen off feature you added, is it possible to make it a little faster?

Overall a really great rom!

Keep up the good work and thank you for everything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Hi i was just wondering. If i only wipe cache and dalvik, do i then need to flash options after flashing an update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No ........ :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
So, should we flash that 2.4 test version or wait a little bit? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It's up to you,or wait to next update :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirok:
It would be nice if you would put your healing hands on sense 2.3.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mysteriarque:
Not sure where to post that request,

Modo, feel free to move it.

I am looking for a modification of the contact within our phone.

Why is that, simply to handle correctly the "Birthday date" and the link with the calendar.

Actually, when looking for a Gmail contact with the birthday date filled, on the phone, the birthday date appears in the contacts but there is no link made to the agenda for a warning.

When creating a new contact from the phone, no such "birthday date" field is allowed.

Any hints to get a link warning into the agenda.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
ups, I removed stock mms by flashing that option (I use chompsms) and now I can't even receive a sms. Heeeelp :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Just Flash The Rom again, remember to wipe cache and dalvik B-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pseudophone:
screen lock doesn't activate

Tried switching it, reflashing, rebooting, clearing cache, etc. No screen lock. Otherwise very nice!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
I've been so busy that I forgot about my questions and missed this topic for a while. Thanks for answering me. Another question though...

Since my last time here, there's 2 new versions already. Still about my question 2. It seems fixed on v2.2 with LV kernel. But in v2.3 the kernel was reverted, does that mean the ADB debug icon can only be fixed on LV kernel and not on the HeroKernel?

I'm still reading this topic since my last visit here and I don't know if anyone has already answer this. But the click sound

does not play

if you take pictures with the phone in vibrate/silent mode. I think that's probably the only way to work around the problem. The other solution is to edit the camera app source.

I strongly agree with this too.

I don't know if it really helps or not but I'm using the JU version instead of the SU one (the latest one). I've read somewhere (over at Villain forums I think) that the SU radio drained the battery too much. I have a feeling that it does drain the battery a little more but that could be the placebo effect talking.

Thanks for all your hard work Ele :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Once again praise for this ROM. It's generally working really nicely for me.

Couple of questions points:

1. As mentioned by others in this thread the home screen widget's will update when the device is unlocked or if you are in an application and go back to the home screens. It doesn't happen all of the time but it is fairly frequent. I have lock home screen in memory setting checked but this doesn't make any difference.

2. I don't think this is specific to this ROM but I've found that applications are being killed rather quickly. If I switch to the home screen from an application then go back in it will reload as new. Is there a setting that defines the time before an application/process is killed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes, that's been my concern with any GB roms so far. they need more memory than the hero has. That's the only reason I stopped using GB roms, but it's a pretty good reason for me. You acn't run third party dialers (which are actually kind of important in aosp roms - dialing by entering a couple of digits or first to letters of someone's name is miles better than dialing an entire phone number - and sometimes the best way to search at all. not enough ram with this rom to run a third party dialer however.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I just wondered, have any1 tried setting up a swap partition on the sd card to fix the Ram problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
my sd cards are too slow for that to be practical. it's worked wonders on my archos 101 tablet though (using urukdroid - amazing rom). So in theory it should work great here. too bad the hero has no onboard "extra" memory like most modern tablets and phones have (negating the need for sd card and also being faster than many sd cards).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
What class Card is needed for that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
dunno. mine are all class 2. but ther'es more than the class to the data throughput.

some class 4s are much faster than others for example, or so I've read.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Hi,

Thanks, Ele, I'm loving the ROM!! ;)

I'm just having a problem, though. I have an exchange account configured to push, however, after using the phone for awhile, it stops synchronising e-mails.

Is this happening to anyone else? Can it be that some process is getting killed due to low memory?

Thanks

Edit: I don't really know if this tells anyone anything, but a logcat says this:

Which I think shows email dying and then restarting. After this it stops syncing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
low memory killer is biting at your heels. you could try playing with autokiller (which just changes the low memory killer settings... it's one of the best apps for android - not a killer at all, more of an advanced settings page that google decided was too much control to give end users).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
OK, thanks. I'll play around with autokiller a bit. :)

But even if email is getting killed due to low memory, shouldn't it be recovering? I mean, the process is starting again, so shouldn't it be syncing again?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] targetal:
great ROM so far. been using it since yesterday. I've switched to the Ele v2.3 running Android 2.3.4. from an old CM7 build8 (the last one running 2.3.2) which was a bit buggy, slow and not snappy enough to have fun from using the phone. now, by using this ROM, i finally get to remember the times when I've been running FroydVillain 1.7.2 :) its quite fast, snappy, no FCs as far as I can tell and no other problems. uising smartass 170/710MHz.

cheers !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gertjanw1993:
Hi guys,

How do i remove the lockscreen, cus "no lock" doesnt work for me and i want to go for widgetlocker!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ninjazin:
No need to remove lockscreen if you're going for widgetlocker

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
but good luck keeping widgetlocker memory resident without GB killing it all the time.

there isn't enough free ram in the hero run big memory resident apps like that. there never was - even with the lightest most efficient rom and no widgets or other standard android things running, widgetlocker will get killed sometimes.

you need a better phone for widgetlocker.

but you're welcome to try it. while I don't condone illegal copies - I strongly advise against buying the app until you've tried it first for a couple of days (it can take a couple days to learn if it's reliably staying in memory and not causing big slowdowns or just disappearing on you). might want to try an apk of it for a bit and then if it's solid go and buy the real thing to support the dev and get the last updates.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The rom is updated,read changelog before installation as usual. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
>>> After much pestering bla bla, changed the settings for lowmemory to not kill applications so fast.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tibbyke:
Great news from you Mr. Elelinux. I have two questions for you I hope you will answer me.

1. Is it posible to gain more speed from this rom in future updates? (It`s ok now but after a time it becomes a little bit laggy.) Maybe you cold tell me whatsetting should I use?

2. What is the diferences bettwen this rom and your Speedmachine version? (sorry I`m pretty new with android and I don`t understand all the changelog.)

Finally thanks again for your hard work and sorry for my bad english.

Regards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
cant wait to get back into this dropped phone smashed screen been without now for 6 days
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
speedmachine and this are too different versions of android, 2.2 speed machine, 2.3 this one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
Like the man above says, speedmachine is based on google android 2.2(froyo) and this is based on google android 2.3(gingerbread).

Hope this helps. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
as the guys above have said they are both different version of android. In terms of usability though I dont think there are many differences. Some are slightly faster than others and some are smoother etc. but really Some people just like to have their phones as up to date as possible. This isnt ideal though on our hero because the hardware is old and not struggles to run latest software smoothly.

I have tried pretty much all the ROMS here and have finally returned to RCmix 2.2. Thats all the way back to android 2.1. After removing sense its probably one of the smoothest roms i've run.

Try them all and see which suits you best. Good luck! :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Haven't updated to the newest version but am running the previous one with herokernel. Loving the battery life! I'm not a heavy user so the tweaks you have applied are perfect for me. I have made 3 or 4 calls of less than 5 min each, 15 or so texts, checking email several times a day, either wifi or bluetooth on 24/7. After 1 day and 21 hrs I'm sitting at 24% battery life. Great job!
