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?

Full credit goes to Ssserpentine, SpaceMoose, and OldMacnut for their work on their united efforts to port Honeycomb to our tablets! It seems they are no longer working on it so I decided to create this thread and see what we all could to do together to improve what they have given us!
The point of this thread is to find ways to gather anyone with knowledge on developing, even if its just the "lowly 7-Zippers" like me, to see how we can remove minor bugs and small issues from the ROM. I know Oldmacnut was going to pick it up, but he has a lot on his plate right now and he has been in pain and is more interested in finishing the CM7 Port instead. I respect his decision, but so many people want honeycomb working on our tabs. So I am turning to the dev community here to see if we can group together and fix things in this rom together. If we cant solve the major bugs, lets address all the little things, cuz the little things add up.
Spacemoose made a list of suggestions from users earlier on how to solve minor issues, and little workarounds, but I would like to see if there is a way to roll up those fixes into one full updated ROM flashable through a zip/odin/heimdall file, and see if we can come up with more. You can see this post here, but I have added them to the second post as well in a more organized form.

I would really love a Honeycomb ROM for the Galaxy Tab. There are many reasons why I want to put Honeycomb onto the original Galaxy Tab.
Just see the difference for yourself: Blank space, single pane, one-category-at-a-time menus in Gingerbread
VS.
Less blank space, concise, dual pane interfaces in Honeycomb.
Gingerbread apps are just designed for smaller smartphone screens, so they look too big and spaced-out on the 7-inch Galaxy Tab for my taste. I would really love to see some tablet-optimized apps on the Galaxy Tab!
-------------------------
And yes, I respect the developers and appreciate them so much for the time they put into making custom roms a reality for us!

Why no mention of ssserpentine?
In op or thread tittle?
He worked on the GSM version.
Moose did the major part of the port and the cdma version.
That other person stumbled, or so he claims, on a audio fix. Never saw a release of this apparent audio fix.
Wonder how many donations he got on open thread with no release posted.
Hmm.
Makes ya wonder why that thread is even there.
Dole out the credits properly.
Just know it needed to be said, and go ahead and get mad. Truth hurts.
alot of angry responces coming, maybe, but dare ya to point out a single lie in this post. Even an exaggeration.
Moose did hc for MONTHS and noone offered any valid help, except ssserpentine, why do you think anyone is gonna get off their but now?
Why don't you, punkrock?
Cause I know how utterly hopeless this task is.
Why don't you all just wait for the leak of the next os?
That so much closer than some random Joe, or Joe's on xda getting hc ported at this point .
is the dead horse braised yet?
Still, hope is eternal, I suppose

Easy man, in my frenzy of trying to organize the thread, I forgot to credit Ssserpentine in the OP, youre right he did contribute a lot, no need to be rash, I will update it right now.
EDIT: btw oldmacnut did make an audio fix, im running his rom right now, I downloaded it when he had it posted before he took it down, and Im sure some of the bugs I mentioned are fixable on the rom level rather than through adb. My goal wasnt to debug the rom completely, it was to incorporate all the existing bug fixes and workarounds into one rom, while possibly solving others. Also the GSM devs are aplenty here, while we barely have any CDMA, Im sure we have enough talent to make it better than what it is. It might not be flawless, but Im sure we can squeeze more functionality out of it.
Its weird,
Honeycomb is more or less froyo based, obviously as we had hc long before gb, so at the time when I started getting into this whole dev thing hc/froyo seemed just different to me.
But after working on the abortion called gingerbread, and working onbthe kernel stuff, froyo to me, is starting to look like a much more viable and dev friendly option.
Alot if the work Dan did in hc was from scratch, or from the sdk, etc. The audio fix I did was from both.
The big issue on getting hc up and going into a usuable rom is source, we really really need that source for hc. Otherwise, its going to be a long drawn out road of trial and error building with alot of these issues never really getting fixed.
Truth is,
No device with our hardware exists with hc, so no drivers that we need.
We need Google to release the hc source.
I liked hc on my tab just like y'all, but.......I know its just a novel weekend fun toy till we get better resources.

Yeah I know, the lack of source sucks along with the fact we dont have drivers. I dont think we'll have everything working anytime soon at all, if ever even, but I think some of the minor annoyances like the disappearing quick settings toggle, sdcard mounting issues, and graphical errors can be solved without that kind of stuff. Me personally, Id just like HQ Video Playback and 3D Graphics working a hundred percent along with orientation, but as you said no drivers so idk how easy that'd be. Still, Im sure we could solve some of these minor issues. I keep browsing over the Nook Color Forums trying to find hints to solving some of these things

Nice to see something happening here. I love my Tab but would like some advancements in OS to address specific issues. I am very new to the dev side of the Android OS but would like to get involved.

What blows my mind is that they have created an almost perfect HC port for the $150.00 walmart sold viewsonic g-tablet by means of the flashback roms so why is it so hard to get HC working on our tabs? And why can't someone just dump the Rom from the gtab10.1 and use that as a starting point?
On a different note, the alpha 2.5 HC Rom for gsm, the sd cards will not mount no matter what, I've tried The terminal and the mount instructions many times all I am able to do is get the tab to recognize my external sd as the internal sd, and if you try to go to settings applications and clear data for the gallery you get a force close as soon as you tap manage applications

If it were that simple I'm sure someone would have thought of that To be honest I think the problem is that the Tab is an extremely fractured device; it was really the first Android tablet to directly compete with the iPad, so it was spread as wide as possible. That's great for Samsung who got a pretty large base of customer but sucks for devs because the GSM and CDMA are 2 very different devices not to mention the P-1000N. When I got my Tab last month the first thing I noticed in this forum was the fragmentation between the different versions of Tabs. More profoundly this means that the developers are split apart, usually when one dev makes a break through everyone else can take advantage of it (i.e. the amazing Voodoo Sound/Color hacks) but not here. I feel like everyone is by themselves and I truly feel bad for the developers because they must make their own breakthroughs on top of dealing with complaints from Tab users with other versions that they want this awesome thing on their Tab. As if its no big deal to go and buy a $450 device to develop something as a hobby and then release it for free for people on the internet after already buying nearly the exact same device.
Sadly I think the Tab is a perfect storm working against modifying it in any ground breaking ways. Don't get me wrong I love my Tab and will try to help getting Honeycomb running but I almost feel like it would just be easier to wait for Ice Cream Sandwhich. /rant
Guys, there is no reason to develop honeycomb, it is inposible to make fully functional honeycomb rom, wait a month or less for ICS, read this (quote from android police posted today):
Honeycomb is closed source. Nobody can make a tablet without Google's blessing. The reason given is that Honeycomb was rushed out the door, and the code isn't good enough for an open source release. They're right you know, setting the emulator to anything smaller than a tablet will result in about a million force closes. Honeycomb just isn't as supportive of hardware as Gingerbread was. To save developers the headache of supporting a platform that wasn't ready, Android's openness got shelved.
Luckily this is going to change. The big cheese said so himself on the Official Android Developers blog, "This temporary delay does not represent a change in strategy. We remain firmly committed to providing Android as an open source platform across many device types." Source code is coming back. This will make the modding community's life much easier. Cyanogenmod 8 (I got excited just typing that) and Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to get hacked onto just about anything.

Wow now that is the kinda posts i like seeing on here! I will try to update the OP tonight with this info! Thanks so much! Definitely echo your sentiments about the fractured and fragmented development we have going on here, it really sucks =/
Ive found out that replacing the existing Gallery with Gallery3D should fix the FC that keeps popping up.
I think Ive found a working Youtube App (in LQ).
Ive also found a hint towards solving the sdcard mounting issue. Its not the vold.fstab its something either in the framework or ramdisk within the kernel, according to the Nook Color Forums.
This thread is interesting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062626 , actually the entire nook color forum is interesting for finding fixes.
Also changing the dalvik_heapsize to a certain value is supposed to increase app compatibility. Before I update the OP with some of these things, I wanna do a little more testing and see what I can come up with.
Sorry to bother for help,
Sorry to bother you guys for help, but I've been trying to install Oldmacnut's updated of Spacemoose's CDMA Honeycomb (2.5.1) for hours now, with no success.
I used Rodderick's awesome stock rom/kernel and got into clockworkmod (using 4.0.1.5 or 3.0.0.0), installed the zip from there, then rebooted the phone, but I would either 1) be stuck at logo for 10+ minutes 2) see the Sprint startup video loop over and over again, or 3) get stuck on a turned on, but black screen.
How did you guys install Honeycomb on your CDMA tab? Am I doing something wrong? Should I use Spacemoose's 2.5 rom instead of Oldmacnut's?
EDIT: NEVER MIND, IT BOOTED INTO HONEYCOMB. I am in a foreign language, haha, I'm guessing Portuguese?
EDIT EDIT: Google Translate detects the language as Catalan. Haha!

Hehe that happened to me as well
First Impressions and problems encountered
HOLY SHOOT THIS IS QUITE FAST!
Considering there is no graphics acceleration support, Honeycomb runs much faster than I anticipated. SD card support is fantastic, and so is hearing sound! (I love you OMC) The UI is awetastic and the standard web browser is blazing fast. Scrolling in web pages is faster on Honeycomb than on Gingerbread stock.
The jittery touch screen bug I have is still there, unfortunately. Damn bug drives me crazy sometimes. I'm sure somebody has this problem that many of us have but have not found a fix to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970965
Basically, when I hold down my finger to scroll on white or light-color backgrounds, the screen shakes back and forth in a spastic, noticeable way, especially when I hold it in place. This happens on every single rom I've been on, froyo, GB, CM7, and now Honeycomb. Has anyone found a fix for that yet?
Anyways, I think all the known Honeycomb bugs are true to me too. Youtube force closes on me, GPS doesn't work, auto-orientation doesn't work. Strangely enough, Quick Settings doesn't work for me. Anyone encounter that?
I have not received an update but wanted to see what i have to look forward to!!!
I just hope the reboot issue is fixed...

Thank you!!!
The guy is trying to stimulate discussion on a hot subject. Stop posting links to 2months old and irrelevant (its not the the same update...). Besides, he didnt ask for a changelog... as far as i know..
Personally, the camera is a huge improvement in many ways, browser query delay is faster (definitely, not placebo). I cant say the device is "snappier" since it was already pretty much instant. Also, i used to have a kind of lag while typing text in browser (such as this post), that is also gone now. I did experience a few app crashes though, but i am certajn that its because the custom rom needs work (B29 aokp).
Edit: also, the android OS battery using is significantly less. Of course sampke is smalll but it went from 25% to 4-5%

Honestly, even though it is a 2 month old thread. I read a few bullets on the OP post and most of those changes are relatively accurate on the OTA update released yesterday.
So I don't see what your point is? Even the points you made about 4.0.4 is listed,
Noticeably Faster
Browser performance noticeably improved

my point is relatively clear. It is old and this is a new update, you dont know how accurate it is. Besides, his post was more oriented towards a discussion than "please post change logs!!!!!". If you dont like those kind of discussions, fine, but i think its appropriate instead of being an ass about a new thread.
I find nothing wrong with this thread. Who knows what else Google coulda added to 4.0.4 for GSM over the leaked 4.0.4 for CDMA.
Not only are the phones different which can affect things such as reception and radios, but this is much newer and could have additional improvements. No point attaching GSM stuff to an already quite long CDMA change log thread as no one is going to see it.
-Picture quality is definitely improved; likely related to better operation
-Dialer is slightly bigger (?); layout a little different, e.g. settings button at bottom of dialer
-Haven't noted a difference in rotation,
-Backing out of some apps is faster, Play for instance, hit back-back-back and there is no lag migrating back and out of the app,
-The majority of my other observations are likely placebo (i.e. smoother, etc...)
Did google double the storage? Haha.

It actually is very accurate. Yes there are some new changes but not many. A lot of the most obvious changes have been pointed out in OP and we can quickly recognize them as we use 4.0.4.
That thread could of been continued on since OP actually had a lot of the points down. Many of the points that people are posting in this thread have been already made in that thread listing changes from a "leaked" build. The same bootloader from that leak made it into the OTA.

After 1 or 2 battery pulls that behavior went away for me.
First off, thought I'd let you know I updated with the CWM method. I was 100% stock but unlocked bootloader. Worked fine took 2min to do. One small quip was after my first reboot, I didn't have cellular network connection. Took 2-3 more reboots and lots of toggling to make it work. Now its working just fine.
Here's what I've observed:
1) Power menu sound toggles are nice (50x better if mute actually meant full system mute)
2) Screen shot sound changed to the same as the camera shutter sound
3) Feels snappy!
4) Color fade and transitions (like in menus) are now smooth instead of jittery.
5) Multitasking button has less lag. Definitely not perfect still though.
6) GTalk icon updated to look like Messaging and Google Voice.
7) When you turn the screen on, it fades in a much more pronounced way (imo).
8) Auto-rotate is fast and smooth, although I never found it particularly sluggish before.
9) Other, likely "placebo", effects of smoothness, etc.
developing...
I won't post the link here because I don't have permission to do so, but a couple of the developers from Cyanogenmod have been working on Alpha builds, and a new one (4.4.4) was released last night sometime. The following link is to the dev's G+ page so go ahead and find the link from there, not too hard.
https://plus.google.com/+TomMarshall/posts
Also, APN's are working along with LTE speeds, haven't tested out phone calls yet due to no vibration/sound anywhere in the device, so it's not really "usable" at this point. The newest SlimROM Gapps work just fine by the way.
Hopefully we can keep this thread as a central point for discussion since now there are multiple spread throughout the General and Q&A forums.
Are you sure there is no sound period? I thought there was sound through the earpiece just not the external speakers.

Well, even if there is, that doesn't do any good for the casual user flashing this ROM, they won't hear/feel a phone call/message if the phone is in their pocket. Even if everything besides sound/vibration is working, I still like my phone to act like a phone, you know?

That's all well and good, but I have to have a phone that notifies me of a call/text while it's sitting on my desk or in my pocket. I fully appreciate the fact this is an Alpha build and I'm not complaining in the least bit, I just can't wait until 5.0 hits the G3...or at least 4.4.4 stable with a good 5.0 theme.
If anyone is wondering this ROM is actually based off Slim as opposed to CM. It has Slims Recents, Quicktiles, Floating Window, Shake Events etc, which are all working.

This is what I don't get, given the fact that this is a PHONE, I would assume that the first thing to get working correctly would be any and everything relating to calls/texts.

The "phone" part of the build does work correctly. The audio not working is a separate matter that has nothing to do with the "phone" part of the rom.
While audible notifications are most certainly a requirement for a daily driver, the reality is that these are alpha builds that are being worked on by a select few people. Everything will get worked out, it's just a matter of time. Been here in this very place several times with phones before the G3, unless you're in the know how, you just gotta play the waiting game

I'm not sure why you have a gripe at all? It's a very stable alpha build that is actively being worked on and provided to you for free! If you don't like the pace of development why don't you contribute? I understand that you opened this thread to discuss AOSP builds but contrary to your assertion that you are "not complaining" you've posted some inaccuracies about the 1st and only AOSP ROM and told us over and over how you need your phone to be a phone.
We get it. Go back to the LG ROMs until this one suits your needs.

I'm simply responding to people here, I pointed out what works and what doesn't work with the TWO working Alpha builds. There is a third in the works by AICP but has yet to be released. My only gripe really is for a build to be released, although a test build, without the main functionality of the device working properly...that's it.
I am on an LG ROM at the moment.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss the builds as they come out and to have a central location for all prominent links.

The thing is a lot of those things aren't phone specific so if they work on other builds they should work here.

It looks fine, I mean I don't notice any over sharpening, but then again I don't have my face less than a few inches away from my eyes. Either way, the animation scale is set to .5 so it looks faster than it really is. Set the scales back to 1.0 and everything is really fluid with NO skipping/stuttering/whatever you want to call it.
Lack of vibration and sound across the board is really the only issue at this point. For day to day use, I mean.
Still waiting on the AICP build as that will probably incorporate the missing necessities that the other two builds are lacking.

Correct you don't get it. The source code for the ROM is already done, it already has their features. What they are doing is adding the device source and trying to get the drivers working. Its not like they think well lets go add 1% battery, its already in the source code. What they are working on is the device side not the feature side.

I'm not sure why you continue to mislead based solely on your preference. I'm on the build right now, it is easier to state what doesn't work because this build is very close to beta:
1.2 09/07 build - Not working:
External Speaker (...On the back, Headset audio and earpiece audio are working fine.)
Vibration
Cameras & rear LED
External SD Card
Bluetooth
I haven't come across anything else that isn't working. Wifi, Mobile Data, GPS, incoming/outgoing calls have worked without a hitch. Also this is AOSP so there is zero of the text sharpening that is present in the LG ROMs. I've changed the governor to interactive by default it's set to performance and the cpu does not scale which will contribute to heat reports that initially popped up.

Q&A for [4.4.x]Omni Nightlies for Find 7a/7s
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [4.4.x]Omni Nightlies for Find 7a/7s. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I installed the nightly yesterday, got everything working, things have been going great... Except for one thing - my camera isn't working! Stock camera takes an entirely blank image and no file is saved, google camera doesn't take one at all. Anyone have any clues as to why? My searches are coming up empty.
Random freezes while gaming
Everything seems perfect except those random freezes I get while I'm gaming.

Hi,
I'd like to use Omni with LVM enabled to unify the partitions, but is it possible to then also use Link2SD and add my external SD card to the storage pool? I have all my music on the ext SD card and my car only sees the primary drive when plugged in.

I have no idea regarding Link2SD, I've never found a valid use case for it for years.
As to the car only seeing the internal drive - that's kind of strange. MTP can access both internal and external storage, and UMS (even if it were working) would only be able to access the external card anyway (due to the internal one being ext4 even in a split configuration...)
Thanks for replying Entropy!
Maybe I could put the question another way if Link2SD isn't adequate....is there a way of including the external SDCard into the unified storage either by the LVM or another app so I just have one large volume?
With regards to the car, all I can say is that with my Nexus 4 it scanned all the music on it fine, but when I upgraded to the FInd 7a (with music on my ext SDCard) it only picks up the few songs on the internal storage. Hence my request above - although given I'd never take out the 64Gb card I'd prefer it to all be unified anyway.
Thanks

Adding the external SD to the LV pool would cause MASSIVE performance issues for the entire system.
Not sure what's going on, unless your car's MTP implementation is semi-broken. I will double check later this week but I'm POSITIVE both external and internal storage appear in MTP.
A while back I read that Omni Rom had integrated a feature like the Nexus 5 had that let you type a name in the phone app, and you would get results back. Is this feature still in the Rom, and how do I enable it if so?

when call in and out,the screen blank and the touch screen not response untill the call been cancel..help please..
Hey all. Just got omni and am really liking it. However im getting significantly worse battery life than before - seems ok when in use just not great in standby. Android kernel is the main culprit according to gsam. Im on the 17/11 nightly if that helps. Any tips welcomed as other than this the rom is great.

I have the same problem. As soon as I answer a call, the Screen goes black and stays black until I or the other person end the call.
Then you have to press the Power button two times to turn the screen on. I have checked for any option to enable screen during calls, but haven't found anything useful. The problem also exists with skype video calls.

There are some issues with proximity sensor when coming from newer versions of ColorOS we haven't had time to investigate. (We're busy with 5.0 bringup at the moment.)

Feature question
First of all I apologize for the noob feature question. I've unfortunately never had the pleasure of using Omni in any of my devices so I don't know if it's there.
My Find7a's hardware keys are shot. They just stopped working one day out of the clear blue. They take like 50 presses to register a hit. I was stock Color OS at the time and did the build.prop hack to get the softkeys. I didn't want to mess around with shipping it back since I don't live in the US and it would be difficult.
I am currently on Gummy ROM, which does have a specific setting for enabling softkeys. Does Omni have this? If so, I can make the jump, since everything else sounds wonderful and the LVM solves my current space crunch for apps better than any partition hacks I've seen before and dit not want to touch.
If it does, would someone be kind enough to point me to the specific place where I can enable them? If/when I do the whole process to do LVM and flash Omni, I will want to enable them with as few presses of Home or Back as possible, since they will be painfully unresponsive (or even totally dead by now, so if there is an adb way to enable it or a way to do it without touching the hardware keys it would be fantastic).
Thank you and I apologize again for the question. I just read about 15 pages of this thread and also searched for "softkeys" and found nothing so I thought I would ask.

Aosp roms don't have any ColorOS proprietary stuff. Also, benchmarks are unreliable. If you feel a game is lagging, try messing with the Performance settings. I personally find it just as smooth

Benchmarks are unreliable and rarely mean that much, however in general you will always see AOSP-derivative projects on Qualcomm hardware benchmark a bit lower than official factory firmwares as there are a number of proprietary tweaks that Qualcomm doesn't allow to be put into open source projects.
That said, the reduced bloat in AOSP-derivative firmwares more than makes up for the slight reduction in benchmark epeen size.
