I'll second that. I've unlocked my Hero (originally Orange) and the data performance and general signal level with the new radio was noticeably worse, so I also went back to the JU one.

I actually find it better in one situation (at work) where it was previously terrible... But everywhere else the old one ifs better..

Ive stuck with the new though as it at least gets a signal at work where others dont. The compromise is worth it for me.

Hi there (again)

I won't repeat it (but actually will) : Paul, thx for all the job done...
Yet, after a full wipe, none a2sd install, FC on "The Application Music (process.com.htc.music) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" as I try to launch Music (whether android or htc...)

That's all for the moment. Will run some further test and report back.

As others have mentioned, it seems that for most the new radio only works on orange if you unlock your handset. I had to buy an unlock code to test the new radio, but I dont regret it as I am getting far better reception and the problem I was experiencing with calls going to voicemail even though I had full signal has gone. I am also seeing better data reception as well, 3G and H all the way! Cant wait for the kitchen to be opened. Thanks again Paul.

Ok,

The device boots fine with the SD card removed (turning it off and reinserting the SD card, then booting again returns to the "boot loop" problem).

I'm still getting boot loop when I flash this ROM after data wipe/factory reset. I'm on Orange UK if that makes any difference

[PhilUK]

200 people watching this thread...... waiting..... waiting..... for something..... a kitchen maybe, a fix maybe..... Paul is busy....... rooting an LG.

So are you saying the new Radio has made an improvment for you on your unlocked Hero as you mention in your first line that it only works on Orange for unlocked handsets? I assume you are therefore on Orange.

I'd be interested to hear from UK O2 users on unlocked handsets.......

[T39andcounting]

Had a bunch of FCs and an error message saying I didn't have enough space on the phone for the new applications (or something along those lines!). Think I'll wait until the fill version with kitchen, then do a full wipe. Looking forward to it!

[marvi0]

Ok  just checking i have previously flashed custom roms and my phone is already rooted so do i still have to do this (In order to use this ROM on
your device, you must have a
custom recovery image
installed.)? Thanks.

[golfsierra]

Keep getting Force Close com.htc.bgp

Otherwise OK

[rewop]

I have the same problem as TBX. Flashed app2sd version without wiping and Launcher kept crashing. Managed to shut the phone down gracefully using the power off menu. After that I tried with a wipe and got stuck in endless boot loop.

[PaulOBrien]

Peeps, make sure you are...

- wiping first
- rebooting after the first boot completes to free up space on /data
- if using A2SD having FAT32 as the first partition and the second partition as ext2/3

I've been using it on off all afternoon with no issues...!

[kharma45]

ROM is great but I keep getting FC on the Music app.

Using non-A2SD version.

[Arsec]

Everything works fine for me now, A2SD version.

Is it worth just confirming what needs to be wiped?  System?  Davlik Cache?  Anything else?

[PaulOBrien]

Lemme check out the music app now...

edit: Confirmed, investigating now...

[Sputnick42]

I also get a boot loop with the A2SD version, coming from MCR3.2 with a wipe.
I guess it's probably due to my SD card partition being FAT32 + ext4.

Back to MCR3.2 now and I will wait for a more advanced release supporting A2SD with ext4.
