I have added some info about smartassV2 (and the difference from smartass) to the second post on the LasVenturas thread. Ondemand uses a somewhat simpler idea, where it samples the cpu load every X msec and decides according to this if to change the frequency and in which direction. Ondemand does not track the state of the screen ("Sleep profile"). Also the details of how each governor decides when to raise or lower the frequencies are quite different.

I will add to your list also interactiveX, which is interesting because it seems to like the lower frequencies which can hopefully improve battery life. I tried to improve this in smartassV2 (it should spend more time in lower frequencies over smartass1) without scarifying performance which to some extent interactiveX does.

Obviously I recommend smartassV2 :D but it is also very new and I would appreciate any feedback about it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcelin99:
Battery life not so good!!!

Loaded V3.3 last night. Reboot a second time. Charge all night.

Unplug power at 9:00. Battery alert at 20:00. I have almost not used my phone today except 1 SMS and the update of Fancy Widgets.

Battery stat said GSM 58%.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Thx for a greate rom. Have anyone found a solution for the e-mail apps fc'ing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcelin99:
As you said, it is a great ROM. All applications I have tried up to now are working well. Not any e-mail issue. Did you run a clean install?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Yeah, i did a clean install of 3.3-light, formated and re-partitioning sd card.

Every thing else works really smooth and well. Will try to install the APK from the full rom and see if that changes anything.

EDIT: It did not change anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mar9118:
Have email FC too cannot even finish setting up account
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lfvo:
Same here, like i said before. i add, remove, add... still the same, restart the phone and then says that the exchange calendar was added, but email app still giving errors.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serguma:
Same problem with the email app, can't add my account, it force closes at the end :(.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] forever571:
v3.3, very fast, no FC , very good!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Hi Ele thanks, everything works pretty well so far. I have also flashed Las Venturax 0.6.0 which works also flawlessly.

Michael
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Could someone not using the lite version of 3.3 verify if the email app works or not? Kinda important for me to be able to check work mail, so must know if it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
As I have mentioned. For me everything works. gmail, gtalk, music playing, sms, usb-thetering, several apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tomasitas:
Yeah battery life is not so good, in v3.2 battery life was much better,maby it depends on kernel...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lfvo:
that works to me too, but the email app don't, its a different app..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
really bad battery life Q_Q!

p.s : i'd been stress and angry 2 days ago and I throw my Hero to the wall.

but now it still run normally with some damaged on cover. No problem in system.

just a little "information" about hero :D.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Che34:
Dont' do it with an IPhone :p:p:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagor:
I configured today from scratch an IMAP account. Works well. Using full 3.3 ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
This morning, a disturbing problem happened with my hero.

Last night I turn it off (I do this every night when I go to sleep :o).

This morning when I tried to turn the phone on, it went immediately to the recovery menu. When I selected reboot, the same cycle happened for 3/4 times until the white htc screen appeared and I had to remove the battery.

But removing the battery didn't solve. To my surprise the same "cycle" I described above repeated. :eek:

Fortunately I still have the rom's zip file in my sd card and when the phone went, once again, to recovery I installed the rom again.

Until know everything is normal...

It appended to anyone else?

Elelinux, can you explain?

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English...:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
For those having problems with the email app: try k-9 mail. I prefer it over the stock email app and in every rom I use I delete the stock email and use k-9 instead.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
If it's a one time thing, I doubt we'll find a cause for it. Or did you log the phone during the reboots?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I too have seen the white screen a couple of times but this was only when I had pressed the return arrow key after closing my browser. On a number of accassions now after closing the browser, I see the white screen which lasts up to 20 seconds before returning to a full screen? Using full rom on 352-652 and LV - 0.6.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Are you referring to Ateena's problem? He had problems starting up his phone, if you're indeed referring to his problem, I think your's is different.

Another thing: are you sure you don't mean Las Venturas

0.5.0

instead of 0.6.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
I could't log on (write the pin) because the phone constantly went to recovery. I had to install the rom again.

@ davrave: Yes. I have the full rom 264/576 Mhz (But know I'm downloading the light one because I prefer a snappy rom :p). I think LV is default kernel with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
I actually meant "logging" what's going on in the phone - like a call log. The phone states all kinds of messages what it is currently doing, and you can access that log to find errors etc. When this problems occurs again, try recording a log-file using "adb logcat > logcat.txt". Google adb if you don't know what to do with these instructions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
I'm kind off noob on this but I'll try to do as You said, next time. (But I hope I don't need it:rolleyes:;))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I meant Las Venturax 0.6.0 Janzomaster
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Wow. I won't be lending anything to you in the future lol.... but I do sympathize with that desire to throw my hero sometimes lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jamierc:
Las Venturas 0.6.0 is available at following link, for those curious about Davrave's post

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
I did try 3.3 full my self, but same problem with email app. Will try k-9 but hope this can be hot fixed or fixed in 3.4 :-)0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Did email app worked in v 3.2 ?, if then I can upload a fix for it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added email from v3.2 as a option on the first post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ultma75:
Androidspin has this listed as G2/HTC vision. Might want to tell them to fix it before we have some bricked phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paintworx:
yea thanks, i was about to be a victum of a quick flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Yeah the default email app worked in 3.2 :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ultma75:
It should be okay for G2 touch users. I was worried for us HTC vision users.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
It's working with apps from 3.2, thx for the help :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
GIF animations?

@Ele, thanks for the new version, love your work man ^_^

can anyone confirm that animated GIFs are working within this version? I've seen this commit within the CM change log (here)

Allow lower end devices to enable animated GIF support

Is this really working?? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Nice..... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mar9118:
+1 email working now :) am trying Elelinux-6.2.0-Hero-Speedmachine-v5 now.

Thank you very much Elelinux for your great ROMs!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ExMM:
After 3/4 days of usage, I can definitely said no issues for me, works faster and better that 3.2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
answering my own questions: the support for animated GIFs is indeed working, only that it works just for 32x32px images.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thanksgiving60:
thank you

just flashed this rom without a hitch

this is great work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cc-max:
Hi, a BIG thank you for 3.3. I have to use android 2.3 because of the support for MS Exchange 2010 but there was always a bug at my hero. All the 2.3 ROMs didn't support a 5mm wide touch area at the bottom of my screen. This build SOLVED this problem.

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tagor:
I reinstalled full 3.3, this time with full wipe. I've lost jogball notification (missed call). Did I miss something? Is it due to LV kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Jogball (trackball) light is also not working for me .. just the led is blinking green. No breath effect on Jogball for notifications or missed calls
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
Same here with trackball....

And when charging the led light iss green..It should be red when charging and green when is 100%, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
should be red from 0 to 90% and green from 90 to 100% ... for me led is working as it should ... the trackball is the problem (not really a big deal but I was used with it "breathing" on notifications)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snydez:
how about the camera now?

on the previous version, the camera is not good.

cannot turn off the shutter sound, cannot record geo-location.

cannot manual focus.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcher233:
It's good. Press screen shutter button to focus and press physical search button to focus are both working. Geo-location is always working for me.

Another thing, all the photos I've taken is tagged ISO 100, as far as I know, the camera has ISO range from 100 to 800, is there any way to modify?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathanljs:
I now have Las Venturax 0.60 running on 3.3 with CPU set to 176/710 and governor set as the new Smartassv2. This is as responsive as I've known the phone to be, and it wakes far more quickly from sleep than it has done. Very nice indeed.

(While adjusting the performance settings, I noticed that I had the VM Heap set to 64m, so I also lowered this to 48m - don't remember doing this, but there it was. Changing this might also have helped with the responsiveness. Either way - happy bunny!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] troublecro:
Ele,one problem with this ROM....

When I reciveve a call,sliding lane goes all over caller ID and it's very hard to notice who is calling you(but possible eventually)....

Any fix?

Will try this one now,thnx!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathanljs:
Hmm, think I need to revise this. After a morning of working fine, the phone now refuses to wake from sleep and requires a battery-pull. Clearing of caches hasn't worked. Will try to adjust settings on the CPU and will keep everyone posted. In case they're interested!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
back with Flykernel, Las Venturax 0.60 has many problem.

- Go SMS didn't auto remove notifications when I'd been read SMS.

-The system run smooth but sometimes lag like hell and delay.

- Battery life too bad : cost 90% for a day with ~20 SMS and 10~20 min calls.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm is it to big caller id picture you think ? of course I always can revert to stock, will a option for that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Will check the trackball can maybe be a little issue with Las_Venturax, then about charging cm default is red light to 90% from 90 up to 100% green light
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added Stock-Phone as a option on first post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathanljs:
Further update on LVx 0.6: Amidst all the fiddling about (wiping caches, uninstalling old market updates) somehow the governor/cpu settings went back to default (Ondemand 264/576) and those settings were keeping it in deep sleep. Now I reset to Smartassv2 176/710, and it's zipping along happily again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Currently using this, great stuff!

Still having a hard time setting up a good governor though,

have it set to 352mhz smartassv2 min - 614mhz max and when I get a sms with the screen asleep I still have about a minute delay (vibrates instantly but then 40-60 seconds before having the sound) before the notification plays...

worried about this as this may mean I will once again miss my alarm in the morning... grrr...

great battery life though. :D

Just wish the notification worked half tidy and as everyone else was saying on the alst page I'd like the jogball light to work.

Thanks though Ele!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] troublecro:
Yes,that's the thing :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Flashing the Old Market .zip in the first post doesnt work for me.... >_>
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikashhero:
Have you clicked "clear data" under settings>applications>manage applications>market before installing the zip?

Try wiping dalvik before you install .zip's too, I think elelinux mentioned that as a precaution.

On that note, is it possible to make a .zip for the very first version of android market? the first version of market was actually the smoothest IMO, for my Hero, i miss that loads :(.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Forgot that...sorry... I always wipe dalvik and cache though.

Yeah I miss that ye-olde version also. the stupid curved one and windows 7 style ones just seem to spend ages thinking about what to do instead of doing it... :( doubt its possible though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Nope. tried the above and its still not showing up... blarg... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
After flashing go to settings -> applications -> manage/ installed applications -> market -> uninstall updates :-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
I'am experiencing a weird problem with this ROM from time to time. I some time cannot download some apps from the market. I just tried to download Maps from maerket and it shows up in my search but there is no install button. I have experienced this before with apps like mighty text and browsertexting.

Is there a solution to this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toleds:
After installing v3.3 my battery went from 90% to graveyard in 2 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathanljs:
Have you tried:

1. Charge till full

2. Switch off, still on charge - charge till green

3. Boot to recovery - wipe battery stats

4. Reboot

This is the quickest way to reset battery settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonathanljs:
LVx 0.6

New adventures with Las Venturax 0.6..!

Quick catch-up: I'm on Elelinux 3.3 with 0.6 and despite checking the box to keep my CPU settings (176/710, smartassv2) on reboot, it resets to phone default every time (264/576, Ondemand) - and as soon as that goes to sleep, it won't wake up and it's pull the battery time! This was never a problem with the original kernel. A manual reset and all is well.

I suppose I'll try SetCPU...

Anyway, am continuing this subject over on the Las Venturas thread, for those interested:

Charging now....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] troublecro:
Hm,I managed to get the old market running but phone is pretty much the same...

And one thing in particullar... In lite version I don't have GoogleTalk(chat) and i don't have the option to install it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well, it is a lite version :) but will add a option for it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added G-Talk as a option :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Next release will include mute function for camera shutter, up and running in my device now :)

Edit: Running a testversion now, probably the most smooth and fastest build ever with Las_Venturax 0.6.2 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Teddy2k:
I continue to have battery issues like this with my phone, but not just since I upgraded to 3.3... it has been happening for some time now and I think that it may be just that the battery is getting old and doesn't hold the charge that it used to.

After upgrading to 3.3 yesterday, I ran the battery down to nothing and then left it plugged in all night until this morning when it was fully charged. I then proceeded to clear battery stats with the intention of running the battery down again today and then fully re-charging it again tonight (as per the recommended battery calibration procedure). About an hour or so ago, I started checking Facebook and Twitter while the battery was still showing over 80%. Shortly after I began using those apps, my phone just completely shut off... no warning or anything... just off. When I turned it back on, it was only showing 1% battery remaining (see attached screenshot).

This exact series of events has been happening for a while now... I pretty much have to keep it plugged in all day just to keep it on, but it's not till I start surfing the web or checking Facebook/Twitter when this happens.

At this point, I'm basically waiting for the Samsung Galaxy SII “Hercules” to come out in the next month or so before upgrading away from this old phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elnney:
I agree :)

Amazing work. Thk a lot Elelinux en Erasmux !

it wasnt shown in the screenshot on the first post, so i thought it may have been removed!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thank you Ele for this rom.Two bugs that I have found on this rom so far. When taking a picture, it appears in the Gallery (2D replacement) in the landscape mode. This is with landscape turned off everywhere. Second thing I find is that the bottom third of the screen on which the camera app is located, loses the wallpaper which returns a few seconds later. My seetings are screen animations off, compcache disabled and onboard CPU settings are "smartass governor" 19-614Mhz .

I have tried different governors and changing the compcahe settings as well as CPU settings but this makes no difference. Otherwise, the rom is smooth. I'm using the launcher included in the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spikey68:
I don't get it. if the rom is close to being good, cool, let it go, but when there are problems from the last build that are severely wrong, leave it in the box. itd not a game of who is best. Its doing things right.

Some users have problems with this apps2sd in this ROM, what is the reason I have not manage to sort out,but most of them have the boot loop after a restore of apps with TB.I myself tried to simulate that kind of installation, but not myself manage to get a single boot loop,difficult to find fault when everything works for me and for most of the other users.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
Sad to hear that, as your work creates the only rom that can beat Modaco's roms (and I dumba** paid for one year just one week before he cancelled work on hero)!

Fast, nice themed and very reliable... and great support.

I had the music stutter problem on elelinux 2.9 with smartass v1. changing the governor to on-demand fixed it for me.

I'm actually noticing improvements with V2, however but I haven't had the chance to fully test the music player. Maybe you could try flashing Las Venturas 0.6.2 ? I thought 0.6 was a bit iffy coming up from 0.5, but now its fine and zippy again.

Req

@Ele: is it possible to increase the TARGET_WEBCORE_ENABLE_GIF value in the next version? currently it is set to 32 and this way only gifs that are 32x32 px are animated.

imho setting it to 400 or 600 would have no adverse performance impact...
