Yes, I imagine it's just one of those little things that will eventually get resolved. Weird that it seems to be working fine initially but after a few days with the ROM it doesn't. Will see what it is like with your ROM, could be different :).

Liking this so far, feels slick and smooth! Any recommended kernels? I'm still not actually sure what kernels do, but I know they can be important!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Hi!

I have flashed v0.8 from v0.7, and now the first time I have a problem. The system constantly remains at the upper frequency threshold. I have wiped everything and reflashed and rebooted. Nothing really helps.

With the system-app I can see that the system stays constantly on the max-frequeny, and it makes no difference whether I chose smartass or ondemand. And in the system app I can see that the system-process (PID=225) is always running in full mode.

It is possible to chose a different max frequency, either wit setCPU or with the system settings.

And the battery drain is very high, due to this constantly and heavy running process.

Best regards,

Michael

+1 same here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Are you suggesting this is a problem in CM7 or in your rom? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes of course you can change the settings in cm-settings/preformence,myself have noticed that when I flash the new rom, then I always charge my phone full,then it's works perfect for me, good battery time

Edit: Do not forget to reboot after changing values.

here is my settings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well do not now,not using exchange :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Sorry, yes of corse i can change the setting, actually i have done this, but it does not solve the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Hi

I have the same problem. In SetCPU the speed always is maximum - there is no difference between smartass or ondemand. The phone keeps running in 710 mHz (which is my max in SetCPU)

I have also tried lowering the max to 614 - same result -the phone keeps running at 614.

Best regards,

Henrik

Ps. I didnt have this problem in 0.7 and I wiped cache and dalvik before I flashed 0.8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
As suggested before the settings are irrelevant the problem is the Android system process that keeps running at 100% load!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hmm strange will look at it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
does a2sd work in this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
stays after a reboot as well :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Yes i does work - see the first post:

This is a customized CM7-based ROM with app2sd for the GSM Hero

Best regards,

Henrik

Exchange works fine for me, push works as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mohsin...:
Anyone else noticing a quick(er) boot time? Makes a nice change from some ridiculous boot times I've experienced with the Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
I wish i could....

This is how I installed everything, I even did a format on my sd...

I am stuck at my hero screen and can't get any further, batt out etc etc... who can help me?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tfn:
Hi Need some help

I flashed the rom and straight away downloaded Modaco's gingerbread launcher from market and removed the adw launcher with one of Elelinux's zip from his other rom

I just noticed my Phone and Home hardware buttons dont work...

as anyone else had this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Me having problems too. Got stuck at hero screen then after another full wipe got it going with all apps installed and really blazing along, faster than any gb Rom so far. Then I reboot manually and then stuck at hero screen again. Really hope this ROM can progress, wonder if the apps to SD has anything to do with it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snah65:
I wonder that too, I finally got back in the phone by removing the sd card, I am on my way back to the 6.2.0 rom. I had all my apps again installed but there was also also a problem with gps. It turned off my phone while on screen off. I hope elelinux can solve these problems, but i am full of trust that he does!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
You guy's how got stuck at hero screen have you tried to only wipe dalvik cache again,maybe something with apps2sd,because of the move of dalvik cache to apps2sd also.

Will look into it, possibly re-building the scripts for apps2sd

edit: Mean when you reboot your device and it get stuck to hero screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
No problems here a little lagging with launcher pro but all good apart from that cheers matey
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Yeah on first reboot after installing apps. Tried wiping dalvik initially but after installing apps 2 SD zip just went to hero screen. Is this apps 2 SD froyo? Could it be that ext partition is playing up as it isn't used the same way as other apps 2 SD? Me no ideas as am dumb but reckon you are skilled top dev and can sort it :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I've just started a new compilation now with launcher2 as default for the rom, it will be completed later in the night, so I get to see the results tomorrow morning.Have also changed to a different script for apps2sd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Examines the problem, is certainly something that's haunted by apps2sd,It is best to refrain apps2sd until I find a good solution
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
firstly, good work ele. you the man for ploughing on with hero development when all else are either jumping ship or being busted by gpl police ;)

i have always found your ROMS to be smooth as butter, hopefully this will be too...

im running cronos gb now, can anyone comment on the performance difference (if any)

im getting this on cronos gb too. im at a loss at what causes it though sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Finish debugging and now there is something wrong in connection with apps2sd (busybox) after you install new apps and reboot, the phone get stuck to hero screen, found a way through the problem for the moment.

If you reboot the phone and it get stuck wipe the dalvik cahe again and re-flash apps2sd then phone start again,it's a dirty soloution for the moment
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well GB is still beta, have patience :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
truer words, never said.

Thanks for all your work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks Ele. This has been happening to me as well and I did not know what to do.

Just followed your instructions and I see that it's booting up now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I have found a minor bug. The GB keyboard doesn't have the numbers 3, 6 ,7 ,8,9 when I longpress the letters e, y, u, i, o.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luki59:
At my hero it works....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Hmm gonna redownload the rom and flash again. I've tried to flash 3 times with no success first time I've downloaded it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luki59:
I have my Keyboard in german language, maybe the issue is because it is an other language. Maybe other guys can help you and know this issue...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Ty for the heads up .. I just found that it was set on MD (united states) and I switched it to English (united states) and now the keyboard works as it should.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Since v0.7 to v0.8 or 2.3 in general? 2.3 is definately a lot faster compared to 2.2 and lower.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Going back to 0.7 everything works as before, so i will stick for a while to 0.7.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mohsin...:
It's actually the first GB ROM I'm using of elelinux; I had used Cronos before, so my comparisons are from Cronos to this v0.8 ROM. Definitely seems quicker than the Cronos version I was using.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Same here. Back to v0.7 for me!

v0.7 ISSUE : Making /Receiving Calls

Hi ALL<

Perhaps this is just my experience alone !

I could not hear now be sure I was heard after flashing v0.7. The calls came through OK and I was able to 'pick' the call but could not hear anything !

As for the ROM...it is absolutely a delight both for speed, look and feel as well as stability...but what is a ROM, if one can not complete a call !

Cheers,

AD10:eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keaton:
does ramswap mean swap partition on SD card?

does it give any differences in performance?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Hi!

In order to reproduce my problem with the system-process running in full load and exclude wipe/flash-errors, I have switched back to the flashing-tool RA-1.7.0.1 instead of clockwork and flashed v0.8 again. But the problem remains, system-app is running under full mode and the system stays on max-frequency.

Best regards,

Michael
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
just noticed the 2.6.35.10 kernal... did that come from when the official vodafone 2.2 was released or did they make that themselves? riemer, are you paying attention? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tcnineteen:
Hi, ele, this is really a great ROM, but I encountered the same problem of CPU running 100% at all times. Upgraded from v0.7, wiped cache and Dalvik cache before flash, CPU setting was SMARTASS, min 176 MHz, max 672 MHz, and it showed 100% at all times by SeePU. Hope you could find the bug soon, thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I can also confirm the 100% CPU load.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Will debug as soon as I get home tonight, hoping for a quick solution then this evening.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] meldewiny:
Hello , Good Day ,

I have seen Arabic fonts packages , but i have a question before installing this ROM

do this ROM is fully supporting to read Arabic in a good way with connected characters ?

Please come back with answer

Thanks and Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I can also confirm a problem with email push. I did not have any email notifications from one of my IMAP accounts.

Another problem is reboot loops. Yesterday my phone hanged and became completely unresponsive to any key so I took out the battery to reboot. It took it 10-15 min before it settled after 3 reboots.

The last problem is with the Market. When I update an existing or install a new application it often fails complaining about insufficient space, though I have plenty. It eventually works after 2-3 tries. I had the same problem with Tasty 2.0, so it's probably a GB problem.

Oh, battery life of 0.7 version was quite amazing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kastraverde:
I have the same problem: 100% processor usage all the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Yes, I also have this problem! In particular, if more than one app is updating or installing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ltraddical:
I got a Forced Close on the statusbar? :|

I didn't even know that was possible.

Did a fresh 0.8 install, wiped everything except ext.(Couple of apps were on there)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I have actually reverted back to 0.7 for time being.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shluggity:
Governor: SMARTASS

Min CPU freq: 176MHz

Max CPU freq: 691MHz

Set on boot: ON

Dunno if this observation is of any use, but when "screen off" everything is fine - my Hero spend most of the night at 352MHz according to SetCPU's Info. Once awake though it's definitely running permanently at 691MHz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itandy:
Just tried out GPS with gmap-brut. No problem getting a lock but the GPS icon remains on the notification bar even after it was switched off. Seems no way to get rid of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Battery life has been poor, for me on all the GB ROMs I've tried so far, and it looks like the cpu is running at 100% all the time for me, which probably explains why, not sure what is causing that yet ...

EDIT: Android System seems to be taking the king's share of the CPU at ~80%. The ROM seems smooth though, so it's not hugely affecting the usage, just battery life. And airplane mode over night only lost 5% so it could be a networking issue ...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I think I've found the cause of the CPU load, shall compile a new rom tonight,have with the new GPS libraries that affect in a negative way, there is the big difference from version 0.7
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mohsin...:
Sounds great ele, you're a legend!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Installed SeePU to see if it gives me "100%" usage. The notification icon tells me yes, and that I'm using <34% of my RAM.

I've unplugged the phone about 2 hours ago, battery still at 100% and the back cover is as cold as the table it's on.

It would almost seem as if SeePU doesn't read the information correctly.

wifi: on

gps: on

screen off seems to be ok. CPU is only set to max when screen is on. Check it in SetCPU. if you use your phone for a little while you will notice the battery to drain quite quickly

I just flashed flykernel again and cpu scaling seems to be back to normal :D

Awesome, downloading now, hope everything is back to normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
i see. nevertheless flashing the kernel again seemed to fix it so maybe in the process something else got done?? I dunno. anyway thanks for the update

No for e.g navigon have no support for GB ,it is on the app developers,they has to update the apps to support GB

Edit: I myself have a backup with 2.2.1 that I use when I travel far by car, for which I have the navigon as I like to use,but hope to avoid keeping in that way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GeknGekn:
I have found out that in google translate when you translate into or from arabic it cuts half the first letter in each word and/or the first and last letter are placed above eachother. I have tried with the diff fonts that you posted, a little bit better with the arabic but thats because of the smaller font.

Not a huge problem but I use it often.

By the way I´ve been flashing my Hero since I got it 2 years ago and this is by far the best supported rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaizvn:
may I give a dump question : in android 2.2 or 2.3, do I need to do ext partition to use app2sd or it's not required?

Something has gone wrong for you, try to delete your account and clear the data, then add it again.

Option:2 wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash the ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buzz79:
Thanks, but I did that all before without any success. But I will give it another try, you'll never know :)

edit: wiped and flashed again, without any success. Do you have any other ideas?

A very nice ROM so far. Thanks a lot Ele for all your work! Is it possible to reset the default music application? I have installed the cubed player from the first post but don't like it.

Have you tried the gmailfix on the first post?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buzz79:
of course :)

I have 140 contacts in gmail and with the automatic import I only got 115 contacts on my phone, it would be nice on which contact it got wrong. Is there a way I can change the log level or something like that so I can see that kind of information in logcat?

edit:

Problem solved! I start looking at all my contacts in gmail and finally I found one contact that, in some strange way, got a lot of birthday entries (I guess more than 500). I removed the contact and added him again and now synchronization works perfect again.

Thanks for your help and this great ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holydire:
This rom is awesome, however I have a few questions:

*Governor in cynogen settings is what sets the CPU speed right? what are safe numbers & how do i know the current cpu clock?

*Battery drain is very significant, ( i have the clock set to 352-614 ) and about 8 hours on idle with wifi on (with screen off/no calls) is enough to get the battery to 10%

*If i installed launcher pro, is it possible to disable the default launcher completely?

*Messaging app reports 0 unread messages in notifications, although i use handcent notifications & have the default messages notifications turned off.

any reason to this?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
1. Try it and see if it crashes.

2. Any widgets/apps that use a lot of power maybe? Email client checking exchange every 5 minutes?

3. Yes, uninstall it with for example Titanium backup.

4. No idea.

Just loaded this ROM coming from FroydVillain-1.7.2 Android 2.2.1.

Great difference: fast and smooth. Evrything seems to work fine on my Hero.

Congratulations Elelinux. :)

A few hours later, in order to use my usual "photo contact widget" I had to move to Zeam, because scrollable widget are not supported by Launcher2.

What was my surprise, the rom became so laggy, that in spite of trial wiping dalvik cache and rebooting I decided to desinstall Zeam, to wipe again the Dalvik cache and to reboot.

Some speed is back, but my phone doesn't seem to fly as it was before installing Zeam.

What is the reason why Zeam is slowing the system?

What should be done to recover full speed without reloaded the rom?

Thanks in advance

Yes you can remove default launcher with adb,but you must place launcher pro in /system/app.

About handcent sorry can't help you with that,using stock mms and it work.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Excuse me but do not understand your question

Edit:Now :D you need ext-partion if you want to use apps2sd in this rom,it's old school apps2sd,but if you want use GB apps2sd it is not necessary
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rner:
To use classic App2SD, you will definitely need and ext partition.

However, 2.2 and 2.3 have native method of installing apps to SD card, but not all apps support that, and it is not that convenient for some of us. So, apps2sd from 2.1 and 1.5 has been added to 2.3 also, and it requires additional partition as usual.
