Hi i edit some lines in your /system/build.prop to use the new tilt function and 3D buildings in maps.

i changed this :

ro.opengles.version = 65537 to this ro.opengles.version = 165537

and added this line : ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true

and now the tilt,compass mode and 3D Buildings in the new maps are working.

Hi all, App2sd doesn't appear to be working for me ... could it be something to do with the format of the sd card?

I had App2SD working on my last couple of rom's (elelinux & froydvillain) and see its included on this ROM, so can't see why it isn't working for me .... Everything else seems fine, so maybe I've lost (or corrupted) a partition on my sd card?

Anyone any ideas or am I being stupid and missing something really simple?

edit Ok, looks like the ext partition was damaged ... copied everything off my sdcard re-partitioned & re-formatted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Very nice idea but you need to edit a lot of framework files to for Sense. And since Sense is closed source this is a pain to do so. It is a nice idea but unlikely to happen.. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisonline:
How can it check if App2Sd is working?

Can anybody help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ASSK:
You can use titanium backup from the market. It's shows you a2sd partition if you have one and it's also showing the amount of mb left on you partition.

Hi! I'm having a problem with VR13, the LED doesn't seem to flash when it recieves a missed call or something like that. It does, however, work when it's charging and things like that, so the LED isn't broken and it is working on the ROM, I just have no idea why it doesn't work for notifications. In settings, everything is enabled. Everything else works, even the jogball light.

Any help appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Disappointing Davan, no more ROM flashing for you. Just ask your phone; "Y U NO WORK?"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
Yeah, can't simply flash another ROM to fix everything anymore since it's not my phone no more! :D

this is still the best 2.1.I love it!!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
VR13 should be really stable for this regard. Most of the problems could be solved by a full wipe or flash.

i manage to fix problem with market, but is there anyway of putting friendstream in this rom? should be great with that....please developers do somethin. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kakabobo:
anyone also facing battery draining problem with this rom ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inorde:
Nope, although I did have some weird behavior once, where the Market kept restarting a download over and over again, murdered my batterylife in about 2 hours.

Flushed the market cache and restarted the phone, the problem was gone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
First of, I want to say 'THANK YOU' to anyone involved in this project. Thanks RaiderX for your work, Ninpo, Pulser, and anyone helping with this for keeping my Hero spinning like in his first days.

I have 3 kindly questions for you:

1. How can we change the way of grouping widgets work on 2.1 with the one in 2.2 - where you had 4 widgets option from one app incorporated in one option with the app name. Now we have all of the widgets listed even if there is a program that allows more options (like Minimalistic Text).

2. How can we add 'Power Control' to the status bar? I've used it so much for opening Wifi and its much better that way because its keeping my screens cleaner and also if i don't want to put the widget onto the screen, its a pain to go to options to enable Wifi (or anything else).

3. Which kernel can be used instead of the stock one? I want a kernel that will have no negative impact on battery life or the way the ROM is working (smoothness and speed). Props for RaiderX. The kernel that he build is a great one but I'm planning to play a little with it.

4. OPENGLES 1.1? I saw that it has 1.0 and tried to flash the opengles 1.1 from froyd 1.7.3 but got stuck in a boot loop. Silly me, I want to flash something from a different android version.

Certainly I miss some features from 2.2 or 2.3 but the speed and the smoothness is just great to stick with the rom. Also, I cannot believe that I say this but: Man, its so good to see sense back :). I will probably use Launcher EX as my main launcher but I like the htc's apps :).

Also, as someone said, you can see from the moon that 2.1 its made for our heros. 2.2 has a horrible battery life (tried Froydvillain and ele's) and 2.3 its just not working as smooth as I want.

Cheers and I hope someone could answer my questions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
Curious about number 2 in the above post but would also like to know if the newest version of the Android market that just came out would work on this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Google says that all the 2.1+ phones will get the new market... if you wanted to get more fast on your phone, just download it and install it like any other application from the sd card.

Enjoy:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
Hmm, CNN news reported that they'd start rolling out the updates automatically to android 2.2+...and I see too many bug reports on manually installing it myself to risk the stability of the current one. I guess I'll just wait and see for the rollout and if I don't get it, I'll install. Thanks for the reply.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
no risk....if things don't work flash the software again:))))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
I have a problem with Pimlical on this ROM. When I start it I get the following error message:

'Error. No calendars.

No standard Android calendars found'

If I go into the 'More' menu on Pimlical and press 'Select Calendars' then the program exits. I can select calendars in the HTC calendar and also using 'Pure

Calendar' widget. It just seems to be Pimlical which isn't working.

I wonder if in this ROM the calendars are named or handled in a non-standard way?

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well as far as I know there needs to be a lot changed to the rom and since sense is still closed source this is almost impossible to do so.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
Just tried Jorte and this force-closes as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
Waiting for VillainROM v14.0 with new market and new maps :x.This is still the best 2.1 ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Razje:
Can i use an other Kernel on VR13, is yes which ones.

Or is the standard VR13 kernel good enough.

i miss conservative and smartass governors
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
I get an instant fc in Titanium on this rom and on elelinux 2.1 sense rom. Don't know how to fix that issue. Want a fast and stable 2.1 sense rom so I tried both, but without titanium to restore and backup my apps its senseless.

Titanium was the first app I installed after flashing. So I think no other problem like rom(s) vs titanium could be.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Hei there,

Yes, you can basically install any other kernel that supports 2.1 roms. For example Flykernel 12A which has smartass governor (was build originally by erasmusx). I tried it myself and i wind up having market problems (not able to install anything). So restored, but my problem was still there. Now i'm forced to reflash the entire rom.

Btw, always do nandroid backup. I personally don't recommend to change the kernel. The default one is the best atm for our hero. Long lasting battery (i had 3 days and 9 hours), and no lag at all. Using ondemand with 356 - 691. What do you want more?

Regarding Titanium backup: do you get the FC's when you're trying to restore your apps? Because the issue is well known under 2.1 custom roms when the user tries to restore all his apps. Try to restore the apps without data on Titanium backup or just manually install them like i did.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
Yes I know this issue, but I have another one. I start the app and get a instant fc (after 5 seconds) without seeing anything from the app. If its right, that I only can restore the apps without data in any way, I better use another non 2.1 rom.

Thanks so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Yeah, you cannot install apps + data if you come from a newer version of android. Its like you want to install Fifa 2010 on top of Fifa 2002 and expect the game to work with the teams from 2010 but with the engine from 2002.

This is a regular FC from the app because its working on 2.1 and not on a newer version of android how it was before (if you come from a newer version).

I personally don't have anything with this. I've just installed all my apps with no data, fresh install to work perfect. If i have something to back up i'll do that (hence Go Sms pro has the possibilities of backing up your sms's) and resolve the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Razje:
Okay thx for the info mate :)

I'll stick with the standard VR13 kernel

Now running 176/614 ondemand

and a Screen Off profile at 19/352 ondemand

Now at 34hr uptime with 32% left
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Gonna be waiting a while, as new market is for 2.3+ iirc.

Sorry to say it, but the hero has finally reached its natural conclusion on 2.1 and 2.2 based ROMs imo. I think the only future is in custom 2.3 ROMs, and given the RAM restrictions, user experience can be poor.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
Thanks, makes a little sense. SMS an call log isnt the problem (this backups work), but the savegames and configuration of some apps would be nice.

btw. titanium was a clean install from market so it can't be a problem with 2.1. Only if titanium doesnt work in 2.1 it makes sense. But it should work from 1.5 to 3.1. if I understand the requirements correctly.

EDIT: Find the solution for the fc on startup. There is a folder in /data on sd card named "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup". I deleted that folder and Titanium starts like a charm. I think there is a problem with reading settings from another (rom) Titanium installation. I set the backup count to 10 in the other rom, what I have never done before. I think that forces this issue. Now I can restore my apps step by step and it works just fine.

Anyway thanks for the suggestions.

EDIT2: Some apps do not work, as you suggested, but many do. It's not the elegance way to do so, but it is possible to restore apps from newer roms. By now any of my apps work as I want with a little hand work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Thank you for telling the solution on this problem. As pulser said, Hero has just reached his natural 'death' and painfully but slow, the Hero community on xda will cease to exist or it will move on to a newer phone such as SGS 2.

I've installed VR13 with ADW Launcher Ex and it works flawlessly. No lag at all and i didn't OC'ed it yet to the max (691). Running now 356-614 on demand with a screen off profile.

I guess, since my phone runs so damn smooth, that this will be the last rom I ever flash. Since there will be no more 2.1 or 2.2 custom rom's develop for my beloved hero I don't see a point to start installing 2.3 because its pretty clear that it isn't for our phone. I had it for 2 months and it lags like sh%#$t.

And 2.2 has poor battery life. So, stuck to 2.1 boys because its the best rom you can find for our phones!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
You're right 2.2 and above wont work smooth on the Hero, but I changed the rom to an older one with friendstream and some other cool stuff http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702398 I will give it a try because it seems to be the only rom I found that works with my n router and the game performance is much better than with any other sense rom I tested. I used non sense roms the last half of a year but I missed sense like I never thought. Now I use my Hero for the next months with fun and change to a newer device in fall or later. I hope my girlfriend will still use the Hero with honor for a long time ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
I agree with you, that is a great 2.1 sense rom but you should really flash new kernel because that rom comes with outdated flykernel. Get the latest and enjoy :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I don't know why, but since yesterday my phone is saying that the phone storage is full, but a2sd is working :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
thought id give an update on the VR14 front, right now a new release isnt planned, the hero's hardware is just too limited for the newer android versions. The stock kernel released with this rom is the best for it, no improvements can be made with a new kernel that are not already included. Anyone having issues if you can PM me and i will try replicate and fix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
There's a shame, imo the best Rom so far for hero. Thanks for Rom RaiderX, if you're ever bored I do reckon the hero could handle 2.2 sense and the camera is fixed too. But I guess 13 will be unlucky for some : ( ... still, thanks again, have tried them all but have kept coming back since march : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G@rf13lt:
I'm giving my phone to someone since I have upgraded but it's doing some weird things since I reinstalled VR13. Maybe someone here can tell me what is going on and how to fix it.

Here is my steps:

1. I inserted a 512MB micro SD and repartitioned it to 32MB swap-size and 256MB ext2 in the recovery menu.

2. I wiped everything (data/factory reset, dalvik-cache, SD:ext partition, battery stats and rotate settings) in the recovery menu.

3. Installed VR13

4. Restarted the phone and this is where the problem starts. The phone is extremely slow once it's past the bootup screen. The white screen with htc written in green is on the background for a good 5min. Then I go through the whole setup process where you have to type words etc.

Once that is finished, it shows the following message for about 15min:

"Loading...

It may take several minutes to complete, please wait"

When it finally gets past that, half of the default widgets on the 7 homescreens isn't loaded, like the time on the home screen etc. The phone also feels slugish.

5. I then restarted the phone to see if it will be better, but shows the loading message again for about 5min before going past that.

Is it because of the SD card's small swap-size and ext2 or what is going on?

Thanks!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I wouldn't recommend using swap at all, re-partition but only using sd-ext and not swap.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G@rf13lt:
Thanks! That did the trick!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junooni:
been on villianrom for a long time and just upgraded to VR13. Loving the super performance.

the only issue I'm facing is with Skype. it has never worked for me and same is the case with this version. the sound breaks like crazy due to the device memory. overclocking doesn't fix it.

has anyone else been experiencing this issue and is there a fix or should I forget Skype on my Hero?

other than this, a brilliant ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Skype worked fine for me on this rom, as long as I was on Wifi. but the moment I went to mobile network and go on that. it is well noiseheaven XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Plz share your settings, i too find it breaking constantly as junooni says, regardless of the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
My settings? well Wifi, connect to it. thats it..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Meant something like kernel, CPU frequencies, governor, scheduler etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junooni:
hey, just noticed. is it me or has the HTC widgets disappeared in v13?

I don't see the awesome HTC flip clock anymore

edit: oops, sorry. my bad. must've gone blind for a bit :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Kimera 3.0.1, flykernel 13 176-652, smartass v2 radio image 15.14. And my accesspoint linksys N3000. I think with a 50 mbit connection. That works fine for me. And lira the same setup. I created her home network.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junooni:
any chance of apps2sd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junooni:
hey, has anyone here ever tried Agile Lock on this Rom? it gives an awesome lock screen like the sense 3.0

however, it repeatedly caused rosie to crash and significantly slows the wake up time. I was wondering if it was due to some conflict with the stock lock screen as the app itself doesn't seem to be heavy on memory.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Sende doesnt like it if other apps come and interfere with the lockscreen. The HTC one will hallways show up first.

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junooni:
why does rosie crash every time I come to the home screen? I don't even have many apps installed? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
In short. this rom is bugged..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
This ROM had been running very nicely for me (It's always in my nandroid backup).

Unfortunately, I had no success updating the Superuser to the latest (I had no problem updating Ele's 2.1).

If update via Market, the Superuser could be updated but the SU Binary would fail to update (thus, losing root).

If update via the superuser flash zip, the ROM's superuser version remained unchange, ie not updated.

If copy via root explorer on both superuser and su files to system app and system xbin (and changed permission), the ROM's superuser and su binary appeared as latest version on the surface but again, I lost my root.

Anyone can help?

Thanks.

Update: Latest version of Superuser allows to keep old binary. Updated successfully finally :D

It will work, but it will mess up the menu shown, when pressing the menu-hardware button, and if you try to "configure" it will FC..

But the remap-part works.. (eventually look at the last post in that thread, as you can get a "generic" version, so you can choose the app yourself.

Yeah of course, but since you decided to share it you have to fulfill some conditions according to its license.

I mean, the roms are not YOUR creations, are just modifications... The real hard work has been done by others for free and they have shared everything.
