Is it possible to set the sound recorders record quality ?

Does the rom manager do a full wipe automatically when i change my rom with the manager?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
It will if you select "Wipe Data and Cache" after selecting the file you want to flash.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jitensetia:
hi,

please guide me how to change fonts on my HTC Hero 2.3

I had tried Type Fresh, but it continues to reboot, no change in fonts.

Also I tried Fontchanger, it also didnt worked.

Please tell me how to change fonts manually.

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Not sure about font changers but Ele has included 3 fonts you can flash for this rom:

Not sure if they're what you want?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hi_robb:
The quickest way is to use Font Changer which works well.

1: Install Font Changer, then run it. It will say no fonts found but it will also create a folder called ".Fontchanger" on your SD card. After that exit Font Changer.

2: Download the fonts you would like to try.

3: if using your pc to download, plug your phone in via USB and mount the SD card as a USB drive. Copy the fonts you want to the '.Fontchanger' folder on your phone's memory card. Unmount the phone as a USB drive.

3.1: Or if using your phone to download the fonts, simply use file manger to browse to your SD card and copy the fonts to the '.fontchanger' folder. They'll probably be saved to a folder called "Downloaded".

4: Run Font Changer and it should pick up the new fonts you have put in the .fontchanger folder. Simply select one and tell it to replace your system font.

Simples :-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
If you want to use adb to change them-

Select the fonts/font you want to use and rename them-

DroidSans.ttf =This is the main font used.

DroiSans-Bold.ttf =This ones optional,can be the same font as above if desired.

Clockopia.ttf =This is the font used for clock/alarm, also optional.

Once you have your fonts place them in a folder named fonts on your C:\

Connect your device via USB in RECOVERY!!!.

Enable USB toggle.

Copy and paste the following in your terminal/cmd window-

adb shell mount /system

adb push C:\fonts /system/fonts/

Reboot and enjoy :)

If you want to backup your original fonts first copy and paste the following-

adb pull /system/fonts/ C:\back-up-fonts

Hope this helps :)

Elelinux, now happens one thing strange.. on menu the SMS icon "green smile" is not regonized, the ICON is now white and blue, and the contacts icon also.

how can resolve this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiljacken:
The kernel does SUPPORT it, but it's up to oneself if one want to use it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Don't want to argue over semantics, just didn't want anyone to think that having a swap partition meant they were automatically using it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
What theme do you use ? in htc.elegance are the icon blue and white (htc stock icons) and if you activate htc.elegance theme then you should reboot to also.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
Hello,

Can it use HTC_CIME? Thankyou very much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No is not working on this one,only in sense ui
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No, it is true, but as you said earlier kernel does not support the swap, it is wrong, the kernel supports the swap, ext 2-3-4 etc.. difference from the kernel against flykernel 12a, is that it's supports tun.ko also for vpn
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Thanks Ele,

I think you're saying here that the difference between the kernel you're using here and Flykernel is that swap is enabled and tun.ko for vpn is also enabled?

Sorry I hadn't realised that you'd enabled swap :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes it support swap,vpn etc.. ,and my English is not, unfortunately, the best either, but hope you understand what I mean
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
Elelinux, yes i use htc.elegance , i reebot now and the sms and contacts icons are white and blue, not green smile icon.

Can you put this icons, future releases? or create new patch?

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anaschillin:
This ROM has worked out to be one of the best for battery life. I am running my Hero at 691/576 mhz smart ass when screen is on and when screen off 518/352 mhz. The screen has been on for just under an hour, but the WiFi has been connected since the phone has been unplugged, used Facebook and Opera a couple of times, played a simple game. Sent around 10 texts and took one phone call and made one. The battery is currently at 61%, I am very impressed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timqqq:
A bug is occured.

I found that sometimes i turn off the screen , and then i open it again , it jamed , the screen shows the lock screen but when i touch it is no respond on the screen but it have reaction (the screen didn't move) . I can unlock the screen by imagining the placement of the Pin.

What should be done to prevent this problem? Thx Elelinux.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
I'm having some weird issues with SMS....

I barely get any notifications for SMS messages. Maybe once after a reboot, but every SMS message after that one only show up in Launcher Pro, else I wouldn't even know there was a new message.

And, the order in which messages are displayed is off. My sent messages are displayed at the bottom and any new messages are displayed above them, instead of chronologically. They should be ordered by date/time.

Edit:

For the record, the notification thing started happening in 1.4 and has continued in 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It is thought that the theme is similar to HTC stock, and can I change the icons then I lose a part of theme
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have added a update for v1.5 new battey icons by gwurz ,it is the GB orginal battery icons,will be default in next release.

Thanks for your great work gwurz :D

No pinch-to-zoom in 2D Gallery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No, absolutely not,you are not offending anyone,only trying to help. :D

Better with people who try,instead of they who not do anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
I was a bit pissed off with my phone today. First of all it started being very slow. Then it did not want to connect to Jabra thingy via bluetooth. I rebooted and it connected. Fair enough. But then the music player refused to work. Any of three I've got installed. They all showed Play button pressed but did not play anything (or probably were playing it very slowly because I left the default player with the Play button pressed for awhile and when I looked again after an hour or so it showed the progress of a couple of seconds of the song. So I have rebooted again. It was ok after that. However, I was making a playlist for probably 20 min and it took about 30% of my battery or even more. Probably my hardware is not cut for Gingerbread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Another thing I have noticed. Every time I reboot my playlists are reset to some old ones I made more than a month ago. I delete them, create new, but after a reboot it is like I did not do it. The deleted playlists are restored while new ones are gone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KBEscalona:
@TA123

Did you follow the installation instructions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I know this isn't specifically rom related but here goes anyway. How to I set up the phone to require a pin code to unlock? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the cm settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
You can do that in Settings > Location & Security settings > Set up screen lock.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] codnik:
Press menu, go to settings, location and security. There you'll find screen lock settings and the option to choose a PIN.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TA123:
Oh yes I did. Didn't do a full wipe though coming from the previous version. I know that wiping out everything may improve battery life, but it's quite a hassle to do it with every update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jitensetia:
Hi,

There is one problem with this ROM im having....

I m not able to put my widgets (downloaded from market) on homescreen. I install the widgets, but when I try to put them on homescreen (by long pressing on home), theses dony come in the widgets list.

Only the default widgets come in widgets list, not even a single widget download from Market comes in this list.

pls help....

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sockem:
Try to move the applications to phone instead sdcard
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DizzyWeb:
Ok, so the weird message order is not a ROM issue, it seems. For some reason, the SMS messages I get from that person are sent an hour before they're actually sent. She sends me an SMS at say, 9:00, on my phone it'll be listed at 8:00. While her own phone says 9:00 too.

However, my issues with notifications are still present. Or could they have something to do with this too? Nah, can't be, I can't imagine Android simply ignoring messages simply cause they're over an hour old...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barlw:
I used to get a similar problem with the time stamp on stock Sense, so I got an app from the market called (iirc) SMS Time Fix. Don't know if that will fix the notifications, but it should help the time stamp issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liput_81:
@elelinux

great ROM and liking the new theme, but have found 2 "bugs" in it

1) The default google calendar widget now has a green header, used to be blue [I actually like this one for its simplicity, though I know a lot of people don't use it]

2) The progress circle (i.e. in the browser when page is loading, and used in facebook app) is green, used to be grey. Green here does not look so good I think - and it is grey in a sense ROM

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The theme is my personal and still beta, since I have not decided yet whether it be green in the progress circle or not,but the green is an active choice I made for the moment.same with the rest also.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] withoutwings:
I've tried 3 different SMS apps and all have been failing to show notifications. However Launcher Pro obviously gets notified because its little count icon is always correct.

I wonder if this is related to that memory problem which won't let me keep apps open in the background (and gives others the infamous black menus)?

Sent from my Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
this morning i had an heavy "invisible menu" bug....after some heavy wifi use, switching task, etc.

the pulled down statusbar was invisible, the lockscreen too. couldnt get into the settings cuz...everything was invisible and the touchscreen wasnt responding, lol. sux when this happens on the lockscreen. u cant see anything and touch doesnt work either :D but luckily i have set the menu button to unlock the device^^

but ya, i had to reboot cuz i couldt work like that.

i hope google and CM can fix this bug soon, its pretty annoying. (and ya, i alrdy switched nearly everything on in the CM menu :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
CM is not working on Hero rom...

Look here on last update date.

Please don't change camera settings they are very nice specially in video recording.

I have a problem that I think it's from 1.3 or 1.2. when I press home button, home is empty and after 7-8 seconds or more icons come and the whole of phone gets slow. I shall restart it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:

Is it possible to install keyboard from 2.2 roms on 2.3?

I had the same thing today. Deleted an email in browser but was still showing unread in the android app. I guess I'll have a try at patching the app but it would be nice to know if that's the problem it's intended to fix.

Also, any chance can put up a pic of what the new battery icon patch looks like? Cheers :)

Keep the updates coming ! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Hi, first of all, thanks for your work!

I've got one question though: when updating, do I need to reflash the options I added on a previous version (app2sd w/out dalvik cache on sd, gallery 2d, map 3d etc.)?

/e: And another thing: What's the default launcher of this ROM? And is there any way to get into it's options to reduce number of homescreens or any other setting?

Tired of black screen issue I have installed Cronos 1.9.4 because Feeyo says that black screens are fixed... Don't if it's true or not but in 12 hours I haven't had any...so...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
What is this black screen issue? And what menu-error are you talking about?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
have u tried to enable the assets option in CM settings? since i have it enabled i dont have that issue anymore....maybe its placebo but had no black or invisible men yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
Yes I have done any combination of CM and VM settings. But after roughly 1-2 days of usage the error appears. But it depends on the usage. If I only use some basic phone apps, like sms, chat, email, than the error appears later. When I use heavily other apps it appears sooner.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] perdita2000:
Same thing to me... After a couple of days black screen appears again... There isn't a solution yet...

I have back to ELE from Cronos 1.9.4 because of speed. ELE is quite faster and don't like Cronos enviroment (even changing themes....fonts, customized menus,...). But it's true at least in 24 hours haven't got any black screen... but maybe will appear in couple of days...

Perdita2000
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
The settings are not so important for me, actually the first thing after flashing elelinux is to remove such things like themes and wallpapers and apps I never use. I use only one theme, the default and one background which I have not changed since the first time, because I like it.

Faster is an argument, but flawless working is for me more important. Anyway, I will wait a few days and see what your experience is concerning the bug.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
I will do a deep dive into the code of gralloc to see if I can find a solution to it all,has worked with some other stuff recent days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tillsvidare:
What version first had the memory leak/black menu problem? Thinking of going back to a working version until the problem is solved. I guess I can downgrade the same way as flashing an upgrade?

Otherwise a great ROM and great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Yes, you can downgrade the same way as flashing an upgrade so feel free to try it out :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
As far as i know, you have to use 2.3.2-Android, i.e. elelinux-1.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] perdita2000:
Is this a 2.3.3 related problem?¿ If so I will like to come back to that release because Elelinux ROM was very stable on that days...

Many Thanks ELELINUX for all you WORK, I haven't any doubt we will see this issue solved soon!!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
This is precisely what I've done because my poor Hero was hit very hard by the bug introduced in 2.3.3. I'm on my second day back on 1.0 and so far no graphics freezes.

Speaking of the black screen bug, I just read the following comment suggesting a fix in the 2.3.3 source:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15135#c26

Worth checking out?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Absolute worth checking,shall read more about it tonight and maybe try a new testbuild
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Yes it is :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
whats the difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.2? why not go back to 2.3.2 till the problem is solved? the jump from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 cant be that big, can it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
New expected release tonight? :p

Have to ask so I don't flash something else in the meantime :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erikice:
Maybe it's been covered and maybe it's a well known thing but..

I just installed the new rom, coming from 2.2, did a complete wipe and everything.

However, the apps i had installed on my sd card seem to have vanished, with earlier roms i know it took some time before they would show up, but this time they don't even after some 24 hours!

Is there a way to get my apps (and data in them) back? ie getting them recognized?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grea09:
I have resolved all problem related to performances on my hero using various tricks :

1. Enter *#*#4636*#*# as number in dial apps. Then in the test menu enter in the first entry. Then in the first combo box select GSM auto ( PRL) . It helps a lot in network performance and in battery drain.

2. Like said before check all in performance panel under cyanogen settings. CPU settings on boot 19 (~200 if listening music) to 691 or 710 if your hero can handle it.

3. Try swap for root apps in the market setting swappiness to 60 swap file to 64Mo and check its location ( add /mnt) .

With that you'll have a FAST and efficient hero ( I felt like on my sister's X10)

I have NO BLACK SCREEN no more.

Hope this can help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No,got home just now, was far too late at work, but must look at the code anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
If you wiped ext, you loose all your apps.

To get your apps + data back: If you did a nandroid, you could restore it and use an app like Titanium Backup to backup your apps & settings and then, after reflashing the new rom, restore them using said program.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:

Well, of course I couldn't wait until tomorrow... :-) Flashed 1.5 + graphics fix. I've switched back and forth between a dozen or so apps and menus and so far so good. Since there's always been a time factor involved with this bug I can't say anything definite yet but it looks promising.

Hey Ele ...

Sorry but i think i'm switching back to radug's tastyginger... this rom is the one with the most features, but also the most unstable one. Apps crashing all the time, reboot multiple times a day, lock screen hanging up, high booting times, missing address book entries,keyboard popups switching off after some time and then the whole keyboard disappears .... i could continue this list, but got no response to previous posts or pm's so i don't see any sense in it... propably it's cause I'm no professional and got no idea of complexity of coding blabla (except for some Java). I know the following posts will be about how ungrateful and impolite i am, and that i don't value your work... this is not true, i love your rom and have been a great fan of it since 0.2, but this version turned out to be unusable for me. I probably will come back for 1.6 or 1.7 or if you need me for testing purposes and stuff, but for the moment I'll switch, sorry, but this is my main phone which i want at least to do what I want it to ;)

Thanks for your work and probably see you soon, summoner
