Google Ion 1.6 for HTC Hero.
This project aims at getting the stock Google Ion Rom to run on HTC Hero. No Rosie or any HTC apps will be ever added to that rom. Once fully functional it could be used as a base for cookers.
Current release: Lox-ION-1.0b3 (logcat)
What works:
- place, receive calls
- wifi
- Market
- GPRS
What does not do far
- bluetooth (logcat seems it is relative to libc.so - Uncompatible with current kernel ?)
- trackball
- compass & accelerometer (with akmd > logcat - with ak8973 > logcat )
- GPS
- camera
Note: devs please test hack and share if you fix anything or have any idea
Great! I hope the rest will be fixed soon!
I second that!
Great to hear it.
are you working on the hardware that doesn't work? and whats the progress.
you forgot to mention that the camera doesnt work aswell
Just flashed it, gonna see what I can get working(if anything).
I'd like to try it - but can you go back by using Nandroid - or reflashing Modaco's ROM ( I'm on 2.3 )

yes you can
I dont know how gecka feels but could we try and keep this thread informative
Just did a bit of snooping around and the GPS does work, you sure you checked it right? I did a bit of tinkering but none of it was related to the GPS at all. Trackball I'm still not sure about, the keylayouts have the same keycodes but still doesn't seem to want to work. Accelerometer just needs the permission to be granted to execute, except I'm not to sure how to do that cause I'm a bit new to linux. As for the bluetooth, don't get me started, its giving me a headache lol xD
hey i m using this rom and its working beautiful...man nice job and the trackball blinks when a phone is ringing ....but doesnt blind at the time of reminders....but still great job...
What about headphone detection? I know with the other Ion ROMs, when you plugged in headphones, it went unnoticed unless you downloaded an app to manually switch the audio over.
For devs only!
Hi guys,
Please, consider the [DEV] in the subject: this thread is for devs only.
If you don't give any fix, just follow the thread by subscribing to it and don't polute it! Thanks.
For now this build is buggy, you'll certainly find more and more bugs, witch I don't care for now as I want main functionality to work first (bluetooth, gps etc...)

Right! Wrong permissions on witch file ???
Good work gecka,
I'm downloading to have a lookie and install now, see if I can have a go at the trackball.
Can I ask a question though, whats actually involved in fixing these issues?? Is it blind luck playing with config settings and that, or are you getting debug output?

Well, both in fact. The only debug output I get is from logcat and device logs.
Some issues might also be tight to kernel version.
But please there is a how to cook thread

Market Apps
Hey all.
We've got a problem with the Donut Market over in the Vogue forums. In Donut, when we load up the Market, there are only 20-30 apps available. Going back to Cupcake builds, the problem persists. However, logging in with a fresh Gmail account gets rid of the problem (in Cupcake.)
So far, my guess as to the cause of this is that Google's server have taken note of any "pirates" accessing the as-of-yet unreleased Donut market, and locked them out. However, I don't see any complaints along those lines here.
So, my question to all of you is, while you say the Donut Market is working, do you still seem to have access to all the applications you did in Cupcake?

At long last i finally got around releasing it, as i said before this is based on a AOSP Donut Build.Speed and stability should be around the same as my last donut build, also i recently acquired a motorola cliq so i will most likely be developing for that device also, please report any bugs i may have missed,anyways hope you like the rom.
I need feedback from you guys to see what works or dosent, i do not own this device. Working and non working stuff will be populated once people have posted them on comments.

great job
ok, next week i'm in vacation, but when i'm back i'll try it ...
PLS: do you have the "touchscreen bug" on 1.6 ?
(sometimes touch screen is jumping to the left (2-3cm).
this can be tested via "dotty" or "paint", and this happen only if you use the finger and if you press on a position - mostly seen on middle to button)
because if it would work on 1.6, maybe i can use the calibration or touchscreen driver ....

maybe we can combine some old parts to froyo to get it fixed on froyo also ...
or can you upload the startscript + touchscreen related drivers ?
or are they compiled in the kernel, but don't think so ...

I dont think you could port libs from donut to froyo(and evenif it could be done, that's beyond my knowledge), also this rom has not been tested on the blackstone yet, you would have to wait for me to release to see how it works, all my releases are tested on a raph110 witch is the device i own.

this is sure, that mixing is never a good idea ...
meanwhile i know that this is a HARET problem (there the irqs for touchscreen will be registered ..).
so there will also no module for it ...
we will see how it works
can't wait for your version

Hi, I noob on this of an Android Phone, I have a HTC TOUCH PRO 2, RHOD210.
I install the FROYO X 2011.01.12 and i put the kernel that have the packet than run the camera and this is OK.
My problem is that the wifi interface is not workink, i am try a lot of solutions that found in this forum, but nothing is ok for me, i change the rootfs like suggest in a forum, modify the wifi-nvram.txt and put the mac address of the wifi, i update the kernel to Latest Kernel Commit# 1253, and i have the same problem.
could someone tell me how to solve the wifi of my rhod210?
Please, I do not want to use windows mobile
How about you just run with vanilla FRX03 and then try to get fancy with it?
Let us know how that works, then we can work on updating your kernel. If you're a noob at swimming, you don't start in the deep end...

Sorry, i'm only was trying to solve the problems for my self.
I understand that some of these RHOD210 if they have managed to run the wifi.
I tell you that I use from the beginning FRX03 and it worked well, at least part of the telephone, sound and GPS, but other things did not work, so I started to search the forums and trying different solutions. but I have not found a way to walk the wifi which is what most interests me, so probe, with the latest versions of the kernel etc.
Thanks, I know I'm a rookie, but I like trying to find solutions to the problems I have ....

Erm, I guess I should be more specific.
Where did you download vanilla FRX03? Also, FRX03 is Froyo, so I assume you mean that Froyo 'X' build tiad8 put together.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean "slow with this kernel" - by vanilla FRX03 build, I mean the complete bundle - not just the kernel. Plus, kernels are not tied to system images... So I'm not sure what you mean.

Well then, I guess you just can't have wifi...
Honestly, every single person either wifi "just works", or they have to do the wifi-nvram trick. I've never heard of anyone not being able to use wifi, that didn't try the wifi-nvram trick - and those people were definitely in the minority. Vast majority of people, wifi works perfectly fine for.
Please, be a little more diligent. I can't do this troubleshooting for you, I can only point you in the right direction. I need you to do some legwork, as I can't see what you're doing.

Fine, i go to format again my SD-CARD and start from zero, any installer recomeded? or pick the installer that i want?
how do I find out my exact model, I'm assuming is that it's RHOD210 for photos and that according to information I have read I understand that T-Mobile only has this HTC TOUCH PRO2, can that be part of my error, there is a way to identify exactly which model is?

Thank you very much to everyone who answered me and all the developers of this project so interesting, yesterday succeeded in solving the problems I had, my SD formatting, reinstalling Froyo x version 2011.01.12 and puts a kernel of the chamber, after That did the trick again wifi-nvram.txt file, according to the link that let me arrrghhh one of the threads of this forum, after that the WIFI has started to work wonders.
Then my HTC Touch Pro 2, RHOD210 remain with:
WIFI
CAMERA
GPS
PHONE, DATA AND YOU
AUDIO
Thank you very much.

Other problems
These days I've been testing my phone RHOD210 Android, after having settled about the WIFI, but I noticed a problem is that the phone is locked, I can receive a call and make a call, and thereafter ceases to operate the module telephony, change the 1214-Dirty kernel that runs the camera for the 1253 and I have the same problem, another thing I noticed is that the speakerphone does not work completely, it is telling me the microphone works but not the headphones, someone happened?

Uhm... the older kernel doesn't have the commits for speakerphone mic I would say. Once it all gets committed to GIT it will be a lot less confusing - just a lot of code that's in testing right now basically.

What kernel do you recommend for my RHOD210, the 1253 is doing that the phone will be frozen and I have to Quiaro the battery and put it again to restart the system.
Wonder that in the future will be able to remove the windows and flash the device with adro to make it natively? : D

Well, I'd recommend 1250 then I guess... Usually I recommend the newest GIT kernel, which is currently 1253.
FYI, you already can remove Windows and flash the device to run Android natively. It's just not as stable as haret, but it's getting there. Plus, it's only a partial NAND boot - only init and the zImage are actually loaded on the MTD if I'm not mistaken, everything else is on the SD card (which is still 99% of the data...)
But, if you're feeling brave and really do want to completely get rid of WinMo, NAND boot away... can't say I didn't warn ya
Ok, so, Thanks to aread22 We have a 90% working cam, since we still dont have 720p and some effects ares still broke, but share and set as both work which was the original goal of this, and while we dont have 720p recording yet, im sure we will get there (eventually )
Heres that Cam:View attachment HTCCamera.apk
oh and btw, its from the 1.84 desire sense rom.
So things still to fix:
-720P
-Some effects (graphic intensive ones, probably gpu related)
(and i really hope some mod doesn't move this thread to q&a like my last thread, WHICH WAS NOT A Q&A THREAD)

well, who knows? maybe the different version of the camcorder could fix it? who knows until we get it working...
i think people are more likely to be using the camera so if we get a camera,it will be a big breakthrough and then the camcorder will probably come after you figured out the camera,keep up the hard work
Keep up the good work ! And this thread deserves to be in the stickies !
Finally, I'm glad to see that you've taken the initiative to get this moving. Can this also apply to the currently non-working camera that appears in the new Gingerbread Sense build by iMilka (and for other future builds)?

well, who knows, what i would like to see is people posting logs from alogcat at the time the try to run the camera (if it fc's as soon as you open it) or when they hit record (if it fc's there)
i dont know what the issue is with the gb camera (does it fc on open?)
but i wouldn't mind if this say, became the thread where we work out camera issues on all builds
and if enough people posted log snippets, just maybe we can find a commonality and that would head us in the right direction..
as it stands im figuring that the issue lies in the kernel or the libs, with the kernel looking more likely, im figuring it needs updated code to be compatible with the newer cameras and more then likely if we can get the newer camera working here, then the gb camera would also..
logcat
here i have attached the logcat. this is my first time. so im not sure if ok. i have started the logcat and then i click the camera then it did soft reset and reboot i close the logcat.

what camera apk is this and what rom?
and do this when you post these, look at the time on your watch or computer when you hit record and mention that. as long as its set the same as your device (your pc should have its clocked auto synced just like your phone so its times should match). this way there wont be a need to do a bunch of fishing for the error in the log.. oh, and set your log type to long under alogcat preferences..
edit: ok i see this is the gingerbread rom..
and wow lots of permission errors and a java failed binder transaction then all your services die..
and another odd, it seems to be connecting to htc database servers to check for updates..

ROTATE - Think ive fixed in next version
MARKET - Loops Crashing?
BROWSER - Loops Crashing?
Well no bug or something, but I've added the rom on my mirror . here
Good luck with this. It's great to see that there are still some people who believe in a 2.2 sense rom for the hero
when the rom is tested a bit i will add it to my rom database
dude, you built a rom! congrats on being so bleeding edge bonesy!
I'm impressed with your guts
um, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not about to try it just yet... ;-) It's just because I need my phone and it's camera etc for daily use. I have faith in you - you've been messing with this stuff longer than I have probably dude and your flashing instructions are VERY clear which is comforting.
I'm really impressed that you persevered like this though man!
cheers
Don
Like I said gonna give it a try when at work. Great work man. And ill report back in here all my findings.
Like don said. Great to see this still happening to the hero.

see 2nd post,Lots working but lots not,was up untill 4am trying to fix some,as soon as i get mic and / or wifi going ill release 0.2
hi there!
I'm a bit puzzled how to revert to pre-MTD changes state.
I am willing to test this rom, but I would like to have an option to nandroid back without much of a problem. I read through the topic bonesy linked, but haven't found a simple answer/solution.
I hope I could help some more, at least confirm bugs or something.
Cheers!

EDIT:
Is it as simple, as flashing "remove" zip?
Nearly, you will need to re-flash recovery too, Through fastboot..
Im struggling at the moment as i have 2 different builds on 2 different computers.As soon as i can get to my work computer i can carry on with it all
Call me stupid but is CustomMTD really necessary ? This rom can't work as all roms do? I've flashed it without MTD method and I am stuck on first splash-screen (mine says HERO on black background).
BTW ty for working on a Froyo Sense port for Hero GSM
omg Ninpo is involved, <3 him (nogay)
I will try when it's a little bit better ^^ and can be used for 1 day at school
good work man!

omg you again XD hahahaha
I will not flash this yet but still I want to say thanks to all devs for working on froyo sense
@bonesy. how are you hoping the development of this ROM will be community driven? Would you like us to simply try it and report bugs (no different to most other ROMS I think) or would you like us to get down and dirty with code wherever possible?
Im just a regular user but i'd like to help with the development of this rom. if i was pointed in the right direction I would even be willing to learn about how to develop this rom!
anyway good effort for starting on this (I expect, long) journey

Im hoping all devs will see that there are still people wanting Sense on their hero's,FroYo sense stopped as soon as GB was booting up on the hero and now it seems to be forgotten.Ideally id like to learn how to do ll the porting but theres not much in the way of advice out there..
Is custom MTD really necessary?

In a word..Yes (its over 200mb in size just on /system partition) hopeing eventually it wont need it

Well took a quick look at this. Will try to devout some more time over the next few days and see if it'll get me anywhere.
What I got for now is:
a) There is quite a lot of "junk" on the system partition here, after a short cleanup it fits very nicely without the MTD patch .
b) libwebcore.so fixes the browser crashes and most likely the markets too.
If I have time tomorrow I'll try to give the microphone a shot, cause this is the most critical problem at this point - whats the point of having a telephone you even talk to...
Hopefully I'll also release something for testing tomorrow...
Thanks Erasmux, i would have gtalked you today but been at work and the boss was in...so no devvin on the work pc lol.Got market and browser fixed as you say and also rotate and i think light sensor.I removed nabservice.apk as it only FC'd.Would be great if we can arrange a time over the W/end to talk
Opened a new thread for "my" version of this port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026699
Please note, that the amount of effort I will be able on such a (closed source) ROM is limited. I mainly what to see how far I can get this, especially in terms of hardware support, with my past experience.
So its up to you if you want to continue to keep your version going in parallel. If you do (or anyone else), please feel free to reuse anything from "my" ROM....
Please read this entire post!
<<<This is a link to the... FAQ Click it!!>>>
I have created a complete bundle of GingerBread with the newest kernel from GIT (Feb 28 / 1276), and the newest rootfs from GIT (Feb 24).
Please, feel free to DONATE to the XDAndroid project!
Every little bit helps! We don't make empty promises, we just provide solid and complete builds. No ETA's, no threads without download links or instructions... Enjoy!
Directions:
1. Download the full bundle (zip). (Updated Mar. 11 2011)
If instead you just want the system.ext2 (zip) file (updated Mar. 25 2011) by itself... Don't download this unless you know you want to update!!
2. Extract it. You’ll see a folder, GBX0A, copy its contents to the root (base) of your SD card. If you want to run Android from a folder instead of all the files on the root of the card, follow the steps below.
3. Go into the STARTUPS folder. Grab the appropriate startup.txt for your device (if you don't know what device you have, you should read the FAQ), and move it to the root of the card (or where you run haret.exe from. If you want to change the location of the build, put a rel_path= statement in the cmdline section of the startup.txt. Mine is located two folders deep on the SD, so my rel_path=Androids/TP2Ref)
4. Download the ts-calibration file from this post (should work for BLAC) and extract the .zip to where you run haret.exe from - typically the root or 'base' folder of the SD card. Not within any folders, unless you run haret.exe from a folder!
**If you have issues with the above file, you must calibrate manually. To start manual calibration, just delete any ts-calibration files and boot. Sometimes this doesn't work, and you have to use an older kernel from GIT (I found 1225 works well) and generate the ts-calibration file by booting and pressing the 5 zones. Once you have a good calibration file hold on to it (make 15 copies if it's a really good one ), reboot & go back to the newest kernel from the autobuild service! Thanks**
6. Run haret.exe... Profit!
Let it settle out on the first boot. Many have reported they had to reboot basically because it was so slow - if you let it sit for about 10 mins or so the media scanner can go thru everything, etc. If you want adb in and watch the processes via top, you'll see why the phone seems so slow - there's lots of background processes cranking because this is the first boot .
Troubleshooting:
Please read the... FAQ
If you have any issues with the kernel, feel free to change it:
There are some devices that are having issues with the newest kernels. Please see the kernel autobuild service to get newer or archived kernels. Once you download a replacement kernel, go to where you run haret.exe from - remove your old zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz. Take the new zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz and replace the old ones, same folder - where you run haret.exe from. Make sure the ‘zImage’ is named just that. Do not rename the modules file, do not extract it - should be in .tar.gz format.
In addition, I am using the newest rootfs from GIT - Feb. 10. There are other rootfs options, see F22’s thread if you want to use more keys or move around the home button. Of course, there's always the roofs autobuild service if you want "stock" rootfs images - F22 builds his off of these and modifies them .
See Incremental Updates for more information on this topic of updating!!
Random issues can often be solved by forcing the system to create a new data.img. If you're worried about losing data, Titanium Backup works quite well. If you wish, you can rename the data.img to something else, and let the system create a new one - just to see if it resolves your problem.
Similarly, if you wish try formatting your SD card - I prefer to use the HP Tool - do a full format, FAT32.
Obviously this build is Alpha, and there are going to be problems. The next post will address issues particular to this build - PLEASE READ THESE before asking questions! Feel free to post questions in this thread, I will do my best to address them. Big thanks to stinebd for releasing the system image, and of course the other developers for their hard work on making these kernels available.
stinebd's original post HERE
Mar. 11 2011 Changelog
Things broken in this build:
libgps - explains itself, no GPS and probably no netloc (cell-tower based location)
HW3D is either not working, or just not preset - I ran neocore and let's just say a lot of textures are missing. Got a ridiculous score, but again - no textures, not much to render haha.
This line should be in the startup.txt file if that wasn't obvious .
Thanks to emc02 for that solution!
The keyboard should be fine, but I've had some Blackstone users complain - if you want, switch the keyboard out with another. mr_grisha's original post. Others have said this is a horrible keyboard, and you should just use Swype. I'm a big fan of use what works for you, so you folks make the decision for yourself!
Anything that's broken in Froyo, is probably broken in this build.
Blackstone users - help me flesh out this section! Anything that's not working let me know!
Changelog March 25, 2011
Further tuned keyboard sizing to be useful on VGA (also made the key labels bigger)
World-phone settings support (very important for future RIL enhancements especially on CDMA)
Enabled HSPA icon (someone on GSM please let me know if it actually works)
Enabled HSPA icon (someone on GSM please let me know if it actually works).....this does not work on my blackstone.....nor does it work on frx06.......overall gbxoa and frx06 works resonable well.....
Startup.txt that works with frx06 and gbx0a
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 msmsdcc_nopwrsave rel_path=GBX0A"
boot
use as "rel_path=*****",where ***** is the name of the folder where haret and other files are located (GBX0A in this example),eg if using stock names use FRX06 for frx06 and GBX0A for gbx0a
sensor rotation should be as it is in the text above
also stock android keyboard doesn't work,and keyboard suggested in first post works a bit crappy (with all due respect),so you should use some other,i personally use swype and it doesn't matter if you swype or just type,because swype is great for typing too,it's fast and responses instantly (unlike betterkeyboard)
i think F22's rootfs are modified to fit rhodium which has keyboard and different button mapping so there is no need to use it...you know,no need for additional code lines which are not necessary
i suggest using zeam launcher it's faster and lighter than the stock one
what else does not work:
led notifications (do not work at all,also if you plug in the cable in WM before you run haret, orange notification(or green if it's fully charged) will continue to glow,so our android has no control over it,not even to turn it off)
front camera
(will add if i remember something)
what works especially good
overall speed and performance is great
the build is stable,i almost never got SOD,sometimes you have to FC apps,but very rarely....anyway, performance mesmerizes you so well that you don't even notice those issues
calls are perfect,no "turn speaker on/off" bug,no rejecting calls
if you want to be able to install more apps,go to this thread and grab the data.img maker (resize tool)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824154
if you need storage access,use wifi explorers,they proved very good solution for not being able to access sotrage via usb

i've attached ts-calibration for blackstone,so if anyone needs it,it is precisely calibrated....additionally if someone wants to do it by himself,he (she) should use 11** kernels (current are 13**),because calibraiton feature was removed from later kernels

Just saw this. Do I need to change anything in the startup.txt file for Blackstone? rel_path is up to you, pmem.extra is deprecated. Please don't use it - won't hurt anything, but it does nothing .

I remember this bug, related to the battery code. g3rm0's kernel isn't such a good solution, it just kills the battery provider... I'll see if I can bug a dev into fixing it. Not sure what the actual problem is - does this persist even in the newest autobuild kernels?

Yup... apps loading for a while are partially due to the old hardware. Some of it might be the SD card being slow... NAND won't be a ton faster, but should give a little boost.
Battery life falls quickly because the battery driver is inherently flawed. There's some new battery software (SCBS) and it should improve this, but it doesn't seem like it'll be implemented into mainline anytime soon (many devices need support...)

will we see meny of these fixes in frx07 and gingerbread in the next release? (nice to see things are happening here again by the way)
@argh
swype is free,you just need to register and you gain access to swype beta
it's called beta because it is made for devices that don't come with if out of the box and therefore are still developing it,but it works great,nevertheless

I was always around, but having dedicated threads in the Blackstone section will help. I tried to get others to create threads to support Blackstone, but I guess no one ever did... So here I am! Trying to support without a device.
If anyone feels like donating a device, it would be much appreciated. XDAndroid will pay shipping if you're willing to donate the device to a dev!

This is not true! There's been a ton of development over the last few months... It happens in spurts, but there has been quite a bit.
I'm not much of a dev (played around with init, working on getting rid of manual ts-calibration) but I am 'lead tester' for the project, I maintain the wiki, releases, and track bugs on the bugtracker.

i have not a device to donate.....but if we all donate for a device that would speed things up much faster...... i think you should start a new thread for donate for a blackstone device......im sure theres lots of blackstone users willing to do this because the end result will pay off for all of us.......
i had a sod and now i can't boot,the animation just keeps looping...hw buttons vibrate then i touch them,but do not work....power button doesn't work either
happened to me once before,but i don't know what i did to solve it...i maybe deleted the data.img
this time i tried to wipe and format the partition,didn't help
i tried with fresh files (except for the data.img) but still nothing...
@arrrghhh: wanna swap with me for your rhodium,if you want it badly?
@werald and others:if we are going to donate a device,it'd be best to donate it do a dev,maybe stinebd,don't know
