It is just an nightly but because of all the phones there is a final they need to do it for the Hero aswell, so far as I know it is not fixed,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chikar4:
so is this ganna just release a final version wifout tweaking all the bugs still left ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
100% correct
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
it's a bit stupid to say that...

they did what they could to bring gingerbread to hero and other devices and you almost spit on them for not fixing everything
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I think it would really be much better if they would wait a year or two until all the bugs are fixed and then they can make a final release with everything 100% working. Worst case, if there is a bug or two, no one will still be using a hero so no one would care....

Sarcasm aside, you have to understand there is a limit to how much you can postpone a release, and at some point you need to cut it and say this is good enough for the first release. I am sure they have already started working on version 7.1 and so on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
I agree with you Erasmux, but as for now, do you have any solutions for the memory loss bug? Is it worth to flash your "try2-new" or is it better without it? I'm running the stable one btw.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
installing now!!! great stuff, thanks guys, keep up the good work, sure this won't be the final final! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
The very limited time I have for android development I am currently investing in sense ports - which I don't even like.... Hopefully I will be able to return to using/developing CM7 soon.

In the meantime, I suggest you try the elelinux ROM (which I think should have a new release tonight or something). Elelinux has taken "my" fix + some more fixes floating around + some of his own I think, and hopefully he can finally get GB stable on the hero. At the very least he is trying his best, so I am sure any input and help you can give him will be appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Thanks for your big effort and interest in keeping our Hero alive :) Just out of curiousity, is it the new 2.3 with Sense you're working on? :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Actually for now, I am still playing around with Espresso Sense 2.2 port. The Sense 2.3 one is just too damn slow for my taste :eek:. But I assume the basic principles of porting will still apply also to the Sense 2.3. The main problem is of course the camera, other than the camera I think we got all the hardware working on Sense 2.2....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
just installed and it's not playing! very slow and can't get back to desktop very easily, now can't get any icons on screen :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
works ok on my hero set to min 19mhz - max 690mhz in cyanogen settings - only prob is after a while especially tweetcaster pro screen dims and the menus that should appear dont - press back and screen lights up again, but press a tweet again and the creen dims, menu should appear but nothing. a reboot reverts things back to normal and only happens after intensive use - more than usable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drifterrolly:
currently running nightly 35 with no current issues, been running for about 2-3 days now @ 690/256. pretty legit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chikar4:
so like i've noticed that the stable file has been removed and has been renamed 'nightly' again... does this mean were still on? (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
It is removed cuss people started yelling at CM that it was crap and unstable :P

And the dev is still ongoing, not that ill see any new developments in CM7 from their side soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] killra:
wtf? 40 assembly is not installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
+1 I am also having the same !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
+2. #40 shows an error and installation was aborted. Back to 2.1 Sense rom for me, at least it works!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zcmander:
Yep, same here with 40, now downloading 35 and then installing it.

Hope that next nightly at least will flash ;p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
#41 is out, should fix the problem :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
and indeed it does :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
be patient, it will take a while (a couple of minutes) ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Look at first post,link to gapps there ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Works better than beta 2, it's more faster and more stable. It has Market preinstalled so you don't need to update the google app, you cand download them directly from the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faddys123:
Can you include in the title that what build it is please ans also in the first post and change log thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Info about build hardly possible, because every day new version

comes out!

Changelog also hardly possible,always updates and had much to do!

But you can find some changes to Gingerbread/Hero here:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:open,n,z

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_hero,n,z

http://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_device_htc_hero/commits/gingerbread
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faddys123:
Are there any difference to these builds?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
To which other builds?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faddys123:
Like between the first 1 and the fifth 1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
have any1 gotten the darktremor apps2sd script working in build 5?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Build 5 updated to latest Flykernel!

Via CyanogenMod/CM Parts CPU frequencies and governor control

possible.

Also some other little changes and fixes,don`t know all! ;)

Continuously updates there and will be available at the next build!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Has anyone gotten the smooth graphics addon from l0st.prophet to work with the nightly 5 (or beta3)? The difference in graphics can be clearly seen in the radio buttons.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Coming from CM7 Beta2, can I just flash the latest nightly build directly on top? Or should I do a full wipe first? Or would just a dalvik wipe be ok?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
i went from beta3 to nightly #5 with a dalvik, battery stats and rotate wipe. if you have moved apps to /system/app make sure to move them back to /data/app or do a backup with titanium (even though that seems to only backup data for apps moves to system for me), otherwise they will be gone. also a good idea is to flash with a full battery, and keep the cable connected when 100% full and wiping the stats.

i am about to flash build 6 today, on twitter cmsrc said this should contain a fix for opengl 1.1 specifically for the hero.

going from beta3 to build #5 seems to have made the battery last a lot shorter for me for some reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Updates specifically to hero here too:

http://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_device_htc_hero/commits/gingerbread

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_hero,n,z

No more updates to the Beta builds,Nightlys are the new builds ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Possible to port to the Nightlys,but hard to do!

If there updates to the framework,you have always port again

to the new Nightly builds!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
My guess is that l0st.prophet resized the graphics for MDPI devices, it would be great if he could commit his changes to the CyanogenMod repo, that way, there would be no broken Framework anymore...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,otherwise you have to it manually for each build if there

updates to framework and you know how to do!

Or read here:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b0z0:
Oups, I guess I missed that post, thanks ! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
Do we need to wipe anything while upgrading between night builds?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RatTSnake:
one hour ago I upgraded NightV6 (from NightV5), flashed via RA.

I have done just cache & dalvik wipe and everything works fine (LauncherPro as well) ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
So Funkyfin2000, after a days use of #41, can you still confirm that all is running well and perhaps include your settings e.g. CPU speed, kernel and which Gapps you are using. Many thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Not to bad, just the same as any of the others tbh....I'm just running what was recommended at the start of the thread and standard kernel it comes with.

Its slow anyway as are all gingerbread roms I think. But usable in my mind. Still got the black menu issues :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] onecino:
same here, every 5-6 hours black screen and I need to take battery out :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kilsally:
Yes same here especially after using Tweetcaster Pro for a little while - get screen with tool bar at top and desktop wallpaper but no icons and no lock screen - but can switch screen on and off (cant drag toolbar down either) - didnt have to pull battery this time - holding power brought up the reboot / switch off menu and all was fine after reboot. cm #41
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenchi0205:
Have anyone flash #57 nightly?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
glad to see they changed their mind and we can get some new nightlies
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Nightlies are automated and are only including the general CM fixed, not Hero fixed or what so ever.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
thanx for ruining my hopes
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haha - shot down in flames. Don't be disappointed though - general cm fixes and new features are still super cool. I'm running ele's gb rom and it's slow of course and has that screen issue once in a while even with the "fix" although the fix patch did make it happen much less frequently. but still it's a nice rom.

I'd be surprised if the hero is the only phone with this issue though - the issue didn't exist in the earlier gb roms so anyone with diff skills and time ought to eventually be able to track down the cause.

I have diff skills but less than zero time in my life unfortunately.

anyone else?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
On the CM forum they are already doing that and came up with a fix, and running the latest nightly with that fix, and 0 bugs anymore for me, even with extensive use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
Confirm: no bugs with the most recent one... Thank's a lot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
any chance to get an app2sd working on it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
I think DarkTremors script is the way to make aps2sd work with CM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Try this

FlyKernel 12A CM7 Thanks to Erasmux a lot of pages back.. :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks Rene for the help with apps2sd for this rom. Can you perhaps direct me to the latest gapps for CM7 Nightlies. The last one that I have is gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pWopp:
^ the first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
how dumb of me i should have thought about flykernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Started out a little light yesterday with uploading changes, has not come up yet how everything works with github but shall enter IRC tonight to get help and advice.

Then I hope that we may resolve the question of maintainer for hero to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
dude....

I'm happy to have someone I respect as the new cm maintainer.

Hell, happy to have anyone at all! But I'm relieved that it's you :-)

cheers

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CrazyDelta:
That's awesome. I love ele's work. And I love my hero. Not looking for a new phone until next year, so I really do appreciate everything you are doing. Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thedarkseb:
Thanx for everything Ele! Previous work and further support :-)

Great to have you for Heroes ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Since installing LP Pro with the latest nightly #57, I am finding that the rom boots up until it needs the launcher to continue and I get a black screen with FC for LPro notification and that's as far as it will go. Anyone out there experiencing this prblem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
just about to install #57, hope it fixes the problem I've been having with CM7, when my SD card is plugged in it keeps crashing my phone, it seems ok when it's not in. Anyone else had issues like this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
I haven't got this bug in the many nightlies I've tried, but I recommend waiting for the new nightly which will include Elelinux' massupdates and stuff ;)

Btw, accidently gave you a "thank you", lol - so close to the quote button! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gensplejs:
Wooot. New changes for the hero

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_hero,n,z
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Yeah, Elelinux has taken over development of CM7. You would've known if you had payed some attention to the previous posts ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
hmm... what now? Elelinux's own project or CM nighties maintained by Elelinux? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Have pushed lot of changes now and more will come :D hopefully to next nightly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
so far, differences have been that ele's own project has:

- apps2sd built in

- all of his fancy visual customizations, wallpapers, and in at least some of his roms, his custom icons (that look like sense icons in settings)

- has all of his bleeding edge experiments to try and fix this bug or that bug

so probably it will continue this way with the cm stuff only getting the fixes upstream once they've been tested on us guinnea pigs who are willing to try his rom. and only the cm-style things will get pushed up, not the wallpapers and other nice visuals. and if he decides to go with reimer's kernel it might not end up being the kernel of choice in cm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Hehe of course I have you as a test dummies :D no but to be a bit serious, it is an incredibly good terms to test with a custom rom to get stable solutions,which can then be pushed upstream to get a stable release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
I'm having build 57 running for the past few days and I must say it's pretty much stable. So now and then that memory leak problem. But not as much as before :) I am also developing a little ritual before going to bed... Ever night before I close my eyes.. I reboot my phone, so I can sleep tight lol :P

I'm quite happy with this release, but I'm damn curious about the new one ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pWopp:
Nightly # 60!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
That's good news :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
And it is actually based on Adndroid 2.3.4!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chikar4:
oho wow #62 out already, things startin to pick up real fast (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
mmh I got a nice one..

With the FlyKernel-12a-CM-App2SD-Compcache I'm not able to connect to the WiFi spot.

Flashing build 62 without the Flykernel and flashing it with the HeroKernel-12a_android_2.3.4 I am able to connect to the WiFi spot.

a bit odd but it works ;)

cheers

Tim
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It is not strange at all, in 2.3.4 ther was made ​​some changes just on wifi, but putting together updated flykernel12-a with compache and apps2sd tonight when I get home.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
doh.. did I thought I had found a nice bug.. ain't it really a bug hehe..

Thanks for the Fly's Ele! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Here, for those who want apps2sd, an updated flykernel-12a for android 2.3.4 + apps2sd, compache is already part of the rom.

Edit :Updated
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
Great :)

what's the difference between the HeroKernel and this one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Only the name :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andrewwai18:
Hello Elelinux,

Flashed this zip but I don't see the links for /data/app point to the ext partition and checking in adb shell my ext partition is empty. Is there something I must do after the flash? I'm on CM7 #62.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
LOL thnx :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well,if you look with adb shell you will found it all in sd-ext

/app

/app-private

/dalvik cache
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andrewwai18:
This is what I mean. After flashing the zip normally these directories would be moved into /ds-ext and links are created from the original locations and point to directories in /ds-ext. But for me /ds-ext is still empty and above directories are still in their original locations.

Can I reflash again and try?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Of course you can reflash,which you have to do every time you flash a new nightly,but shall try myself also to see if it works as intended.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andrewwai18:
Ok, try it again. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
No need, I had botched missed a permission in the script, here is an updated one,have tested now see screen :D

http://www63.zippyshare.com/v/47255557/file.html
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andrewwai18:
confirmed working now, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
There is something wrong with this ROM!!

I'm missing my invisible menu's!! ;)

Didn't had them since build 62 (without installing the memory leak fix)..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
About then they move to Android 2.3.4 which fixes this issue....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
just installed #67 and can't get Swiftkey to work... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
question, what is the most stable ROM around, I suppose all I really want is to be able to have apps on SD....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatboi55:
thx for update :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
either elelinux's customized sense 2.1 rom with it's apps2sd and other improvemnets, or erasmux's floyo 1.2 (which I'm using now).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] afeeq:
why google apps can`t download from market such as youtube, map, and many more.. Please anyone please help me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
for youtube and gmail i got to grab them from market but that's all

no problem so far with build 70 and las ventura kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] afeeq:
Are you pretty sure.. I will try #70.. If I not using las ventura kernal, can I download those application from market (Youtube, map, gmail etc.)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Yes you can.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] afeeq:
So without las ventura kernal i still can get those apps (youtube, map etc). I will flashing right away. Thank you guys for quick reply. I really appreciate that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nikitosina:
thx guys! Good job! I like your ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] afeeq:
I still got same problem. It says request item cannot be found. How you can download those application?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
try these gapps : http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20110501-signed.zip

i use them on my phone, they include everything
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] afeeq:
Thanks. Now I can use apps from google. I really appeciate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Installed Nightly #71 after full wipe of all and installed new Gapps 20110501 -signed. zip but rom remains in boot loop, no matter what I do. Wiped cache and Dalvik and now installing older 20110307 Gapps and will see if this rectifies the issue. Yeh, that works!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
gonna try and tell you if i get the same result

yey bootloop :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
#71 Nightly really messed with my Hero. Had to start from scratch with 2.1 rom from scratch, Nandroid wouldn't work after the install :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
weird... could nandroid backup without problem from this one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
alright build #72 correct the bootloop with full gapps, running it right now with latest redem kernel from 18/05/11
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks for the heads up. Where is this kernel "with latest redem kernel from 18/05/11"

that you refer to?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
as far as I know there are no daily builds of that kernel. It's up to riemervdzee when he releases it for us.

but this is the last version: http://www.multiupload.com/KFR2FU8WUN
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
yep it's this one and the zip says : kernel_18-05-2011.zip :)

ok after half day in no signal land i have to say it's pretty good!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BillDoor:
I'm currently on #67 and about to upgrade to #74, but I can't seem to boot to recovery, I've tried using ROM Manager, reset via off button and choosing recovery and holding home and power from off, but it just sits at the G2 screen, any help please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iop tha man:
Hey elelinux,

Any chance you will push 270 degree rotate settings to this (and your) build any time soon? Since last time you switched your priorities to the blackscreen bugs and those are now fixed?

Thx anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
The majority of all users hate 270 degree rotate settings,but when we have a final I will add it as a option.

You fix it easy for yourself as well if you want,only use adb to pull and push the build.prop,add this line

windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=true
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iop tha man:
You misunderstood me, i want to be able to turn that rotation OFF (as do you i beleave)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
But you can already, go to cm-settings/display/and tick off rotate 180 degrees then go to settings/display and tick off Auto-rotate screen VIOLA
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tl883:
Hey

I installed 79 yesterday and noticed today, that I got issues with the notification and ringtone volumes. They are on auto silence or so. After some minutes it goes on silence, without showing the notification icon in the status bar.

Does anyone else got it?

Cheers

Tim
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
not sure i understood your problem but build 81 is out so you should try
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iop tha man:
You made a try before to disable 180* and 270* rotation. I liked that thought. I want to use my hero straight up or tilted counter clock wise 90*. I never understood why people want to use their phone upside down or with jog ball on the left anyway.

Hope you get what I mean now =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gciochina:
v81 works ok. installed it this morning (4+ hours ago), no issues so far.

previously had v78, no issues either, noticed pretty good battery life with it (compared with other 2.3 based roms available). hope the same holds for v81 as well.
