AOSP 2.0.1 for HTC Hero

I have moved this post to HTCPedia, where I can have a bit more control over the moderation. Please continue to follow development here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1528

Great, booting now
First impression:
REALLY fast, can find Twidroid free(not the pro) so not all apps are working(i think)
but it's a lot better then the Sense...

This is great! Flashing this now.
Btw it has all Google Apps right?
Thanks!
Also, how soon can we expect working Camera?

yeah all works, can find a lot of programs(i have 2 apps now that i can't find, taskiller FULL and Twidroid Pro, but free editions of those are available)
HTC_IME.apk won't work gives a FC, looking for a dutch dictionary (A)

Thanks! Good job!
How about HTC Widgets, Clock and Calendar?

Great!!!!
Hi... seems like a good ROM.... whilst you might be working on it... would love it if u can possibly add in A2SD... that would be amazing. When should we expect the new ROM
Thanks

you've made my day!!!!!! cheers

Thanks, This is going on my hero tomorrow

are gone, it's a AOSP, that is without HTC stuff!!!
so NON Sense, no htc keyboard, no .............................

Absolutely fantastic. This is the fastest user interface I have ever experienced on any of my phones ever. Including my iphone 3G.
I now have almost everything I need in this ROM and I don't think I will try any other ROM until HTC releases their ROM. I might not even try that. I love vanilla Eclair (with sugar on top).
The only thing that annoys me is that my Exchange calendar still not synchronizes. Wonder why? But I can fix this via the Market. Not for free, though. :/
And, theres the issue with the camera. I guess that will be fixed pretty soon, though.

I have tested a bit, so its really damn fast . Camera not working like said in the topic, the Youtube apps seems non working too. If someone can confirm too.
But really good work . I hope you caontinu this Amazing work
Edit: About the youtube app, the application laucnh correctly but when i try to play an video the screen is black.

confirm, i hear the sound, but the screen is only black....

Video playback is unusable. Trying to play .mp4's from my sd card with meridian and it lags so badly that it is unusable.
The youtube application works, but I only get a black screen when I start playing a video.

Yes, I can confirm. You could add Meridian player for your videos.
Great work BTW dev. I like the cleaness and simplicity of this ROM, its also quite quick.
Also voice search is non usable

nice work.
Is it just me experiencing lag while swiping between homescreens?

ismaskin, I'm experiencing that lag too.
Also, isn't this the Moto Droid one? I like the AOSP 2.0 better, but I guess the sync problems killed that for me. Any way to get the sync to work on 2.0 now that its working on this? Somehow strip from this and attach to that?

Hmm its maybe (like in lox rom) an missing driver for the GPU part of the MSM CPU ?

will give this a blast tomorrow when I've got time...... Its great to see another plain rom for our hero! Well done to everyone involved!

Latest Leaked Update Issues

Since the thread got closed for who knows what, let's build a list of known issues, fixes and whatever else...
For one, my brightness didn't work, so I flashed Kernel #15 which fixed that issue. Now my camera only shows a white screen.
BTW, I looked for a similar thread, but didn't find one. I tend to miss things sometimes though.

I'm pretty sure the thread got closed, because wdfowty requested it be closed. Based on a comment he made in the thread, I presume he requested the thread be closed because of the ridiculous, juvenile, and inappropriate tags that people were leaving. So as usual, the thread was closed due to people acting like 3 year old kids.
Anyways, on your topic, I have fortunately not encountered any of the bugs that other people have mentioned in the thread. Everything I've been able to test so far is working perfectly. The only thing that I wish, is that HTC released the leak with Sense 2.1. I want a 2.1 sense rom with working 4g!!!

Right, people have been acting so ridiculously here lately.
Back on topic, camera with kernel 15 seems to be my only issue. Anybody got a link to just the kernel on the new leak? I would rather have my camera rather than brightness adjustable. Unfortunately.

When I turn on the camera/camcorder to take a pic/record, the screen appears all white. However, if you take a picture, it comes out but looks a little fuzzy. If I try to record a video in mpeg4, it will record but force close when it tries to save it. If I try to record a video using H.264, it force closes immediately. I tried clearing the data of the camera app and that did not help.
Weird.
I'm downloading Virus's version which has the camera fixed, but it may be just for pics. I think video still may be borked, but I cannot confirm that yet.
Edit: Forgot to add that I am running Netarchy's 4.3.4 kernel with the leaked 2.3 update.

Yea, the issue I had was brightness lock, fixed with kernel 15, which left me with the white screen camera.

i got my to work with everyting, but with the stock kernel.

I have a hardware 002 which I don't think is an Epson screen. I can not change the brightness on the leaked ROM. When I try to flash HTC Kernel 15 the phone won't boot it gets past the HTC EVO white screen but then hangs up right before the Boot Animation. You can tell the screen is on but nothing ever happens...

Do you mean the stock kernel that came with the leaked update, or the previousw stock kernel #15 like Rydah is using? I may just re-flash it with the stock kernel for now.
Or, just nandroid back to Myn's rom until all the wrinkles get ironed out. I don't see so much of an improvement so as to keep a buggy rom when it was working perfectly before.

One X and Skype

Hi, I went from Winmo to the iPhone and Skype finally worked . Still it had a lot of bugs. Now I'm on Android for a week and I find Skype completely unusuable.
The video chat shows 2 images on top of each other. Audiolevels are flawed.
And text chat is extremely slow. I get to see a new msg sometimes 2 Minutes! after the notification and also typing is wet laggy.
All in all - useless.
Is it just me?

Same problems here.
Also it only works in landscape. I hope there will be an update soon...

Wasn't there a modified Skype posted somewhere in the forums? With mods to make it more usable on One X?

Just to confirm its been unstable for me too... Not heard about this mod to make it work though. Could be interesting.

Yup.. I tried the modified version but no go... Its waste of time... The audio from the other end during a call, is heard through the earpiece as well as the loudspeaker! The same applies for all Voip clients except VOX Mobile.. Vox mobile works flawlessly!

i had no problems with skype, video and audio quality was flawless.
i tried it on stock 1.26 though, don't know about 1.28 or custom roms

My skype has worked perfectly always... never heard of any problems with skype with android except for the 'ancient' days maybe...

@hapticc -Thanks mate.. Thats how Ive been using it so far awaiting for an update
@ all -Thats strange.. which version of Skype are you guys using? So far I tested it on 3 different One X handsets and the results are the same (sound output through the earpiece and Loudspeaker on a call)... BTW mine is PJ46100. Made in Taiwan..

I am using the the official Skype that you can find and download on Market or Playstore.

used it twice last week and thought it was excellent. Audio and Video were better than expected.

There was an update in the meanwhile and it´s a lot better for me now. Also texting works.

I'm anxious to upgrade my phone to a later Android device (OneX or SIII) but still hanging back with my Motorola Atrix 2 w/2.3.6 installed, this appears to be the last functional version of Android Gingerbread (Honeycomb 3.2.x it still works fine too) it runs fine on. If Skype were still the same company prior to Microsoft Pw0ning it we would have a fully functional version of Skype for ICS. Also, ICS doesn't work on my Japanese Tablet: Sharp Galapagos 7" so it's a global issue with Skype.

Question for Instagram users running CM9?

Hi there,
Ever since i've updated my Instagram, it won't let me upload any pictures at all and either gets my phone stuck or crashes every time. Want to know if any other P930 CM9 users are facing this issue or if there is any other fix around it?

Same here. Using the app for just browsing other photos seems to work but whenever I try to upload; it begins to stall and eventually crash. I tried cheating it by not using the filters and immediately uploading it but then it either crashes or takes forever to process and the photo ends up black or this strange black/matrix-y look.
I love the this RC, it's blazing fast compared to my stock gingerbread. With little to no problems since I've been testing it. Anyone know a work-around? Keep it up and thanks for the hard work.
p.s I'm using the P930 At&t Nitro HD.

That's exactly the same issue I have. From what I've read it might be an OpenGL issue... but I'm not going to pretend like I know what that means. Besides that, this RC is running so smoothly. Its awesome. Guess we'll just have to wait.

Neither the ICS leak nor CM9 will run the editing pane of Instagram. I've e-mailed the App developers, they said they will not touch an unofficial build. I've been through multiple updates for Instagram, none worked any better.

For what it's worth, it works in CM10 build 07/26 for me. Maybe you guys would like to update

I actually might try that, do you have any major problems using CM10? My only problems with CM9 is instagram and random speaker volume changes. (which can be deal breakers)

Well there are still some bugs in CM10 and a bunch of features haven't been forward-ported yet, but it's definitely coming along nicely. One bigger bug it has right now is video seems to intakill the OS and reboot after a few seconds.

Well, that was fast lol. Ricardo just put an update out that should fix video crashing. Man, that guy is awesome.

instagram doesn't work anymore with the latest nightly released 24-08-12.

Could someone please tell me the most stable 4.1.2 rom?

Need to know for a little experiment I wanna try.

Those bugs are still important but I can say that these ROMs already work very good.
Thanks to dman for original work and, lately, to spyke555 and kick who are really doing an excellent job (development was almost dead before they committed and i'm very thankful to them for what they are doing).

He already answered your question, the 4.1.2 weren't ever completed, they were abandoned... hence why the issues in those roms are still present.
Install PACRom 18.2 and then apply the fixes for keyboard etc. I think the fixes are in the litekernel thread. Put on the latest litekernel for 4.1 keyboard fix, lights fix and you'll have the best working 4.1.2.
Note - skype and bluetooth headset still won't work, pretty sure the camera issue with rotation is still present. I ran pacrom 18.2 for MONTHS without any issue except those listed and the wake lag.

I was trying to port something, not use it as a rom.

GPS has always worked. Some of the technical data returned is invalid/bogus but Google Maps/Navigation is completely unaffected.

Again, it's always worked, so long as you don't have an app trying to record audio at the same time.
Skype Working

Skype works for text messages, but received audio in calls is corrupt. The core of the issue is audio playback breaks when an app opens the microphone. (Ironically, the microphone itself actually works fine, i.e. voice recognition has messed up audio cues but it does process what you say correctly.) Current hypothesis is it's a driver issue. Research is ongoing. This is a longstanding issue going all the way back to our very first JB kernels.

This is actually a known problem with Google Now itself, it depends on an instruction set the Tegra 2 doesn't have. The Galaxy R and the Galaxy Note 10.1 have the same problem, on ALL Jellybean ROMs, even official. Bug Google, not us.
There is a workaround: downgrade GNow to a working version (possibly by flashing old gapps), then disable "Hotword detection" in settings. Once that is turned off you can upgrade to the latest and it will still work.

Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply but:
1) GPS was not locking for me until I changed the gps.conf file in MOST of the ROMs I've tested.
2) Music didn't work on one rom I tested (now and then the music player started lagging and it automatically stopped every few seconds for a few milliseconds)
3)Thanks for the Skype reply; I was hoping there was some version with this fixed but evidentely not.
4)Camera flips orientation in all the roms I've tested. HDR just worked in 1 of them. Camera actually crashed from time to time in one of them.
5)Oh, sad about the Google Now fact. It's actually one of the main reasons I wanted JB
The skype thing Can't be a hardware issue since I've used skype several times before rooting my device. The issue you are talking about happens on google voice sometimes; therefore I'm guessing you're right on thinking that the problem is on the driver.
I'm very interested in ROM building since I'm an app developer for android and a C++ programmer; yet I've been too lazy to check how it worked. Are the drivers we are using open source? or are we just messing with the conf files trying to get things fixed?

hi,
thread how to compile from source:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071542
AFAIK drivers are not open source if they were there wouldn't be so much problems with them. They are ported from other devices similar hw but with code for them.

any news about JB and bluetooth headset issue?
