Guest commodoor Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 In contrast to the iPhone the Android devices allow multitasking. That's a good thing since it allows you to have multiple applications running and lets you switch between them. But it's also a bad thing since the phone will become sluggish when you have many applications running and you go low on RAM. The iPhone avoids this problem by allowing the user to only run one application at any time. The solution is to install a task manager and kill off some tasks to free up some memory before handing the phone to your friends :) I recomment ES Task Manager with a "quick kill" widget so you can hit a single button to free up memory. I know that but even if i killed every server it still isn't smooth. i'm using taskiller. Even when i almost "killed" every service its stil lag sometimes. I think it would be better if the apps would be cached (ok maybe not posible for Paul, but HTC) this will make it a little smoother (i think).

Guest btnelson Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Upgrade to 3.2 successful. Will comment more if I notice any major differences/bugs. MCR 3.1 RC2 has been excellent so far. Don't know how you turn these things around so fast. I'm busy running through the Android Development Kit tutorials. Need to rewire my brain ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlThePost Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Updated 3.2b1 over 3.1rc2 with no issues. Running perfectly and (so far) I've found no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jeroenhero Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Sooo.... I'm offically addicted to cheesecake, Randy Newman and updating to a new modaco rom as soon as it is published. Thanks Paul! I have a (unbelievable, yet true) much faster Hero now. No wipe, just updated. And I love that adb logcat almost stands still when the phone is fully booted and left untouched. Not many roms do that, I can tell you. @jeroen Edited January 12, 2010 by jeroenhero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use MissingSync on my Mac, works fine, better to just try and use gmail-sync as a preference though. Contacts should be synched to Google anyway, otherwise you can use WaveSecure to back everything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest knightflyer Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Firstly great job Paul with the ROM's and now the kitchen, just waiting for ad free membership to kick in, however when I click on any link in the 3.1 update thread to download the new ROM or wavesecure or .... I am redirected to the wimo homepage on modaco :) . I have cleared caches, history, cookies, rebooted to no avail. Copy and paste link with same result, oh yeah and I am logged in B) . Anyone else with this problem or am I on my own to scratch my head?? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JadeMonkee Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi Paul, is there any way I can check what options I selected when I downloaded my ROM yesterday? I can't seem to remember what I included/excluded... It could be a good idea to have a text file generated and saved within the zip file, so that I know what each ROM contains/excludes. Or else have the ROM filename somehow represent what apps were included/excluded. Just a thought. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest phillevy Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Sorry if this has already been answered but can the included Titanium backup only be updated by an update.zip as I notice the market is not aware of it. The market version is already a later one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sharkiy Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 You don't have to run it - you just open the app that needs root access, like Titanium Backup, and it will pop up with a screen asking you to allow access. If you click "Allow always" it will remember for next time. Sorry the fist step were to run titanium but su hangs. I have look some ways to update su and many more but nothing happens.

Guest Phanes Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Good morning Gentleman, does anybody have a solution to keep wifi connection on the Hero 24/7?

Guest keyra74 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) error found in build.prop, i was wondering why i couldn't see pay apps MCR 3.2 build.prop : ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_hero/hero/hero:1.5/2.73.405.5/61267:user/ MCR 3.1 build.prop : ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_hero/hero/hero:1.5/2.73.405.5/61267:user/release-keys tried to modify and after reboot it doesn't keep my new build.prop Edited January 13, 2010 by keyra74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest okdac Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Use morelocale, linked in the main MCR post. P Thx MASTER ;-)) I will try this. But I reverted to a previous 3.1 baked (I cook a lot since a while...) Waiting for the RC of this 3.2 and, of course to the 4.0. Thrilling !!! A billions thanks for your work, once again.

Guest wouzer Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'm getting the same. How did you reinstall it? (I'm very very new to all this so noddy steps please!) Thanks in advance. Steve Ok, this might be cumbersome because I don't have a lot of experience with the Android too. Here it goes anyway. You will need the Android SDK. 1) Install the Android SDK 2) On your device: Menu -> settings -> applications -> development -> USB debugging ON (I have a localized android, so the names in english are a guess) 3) PC: (Admin) CMD into <drive>:\<SDK install location>\tools 4) PC: run adb pull /data/app/<blah>.maps.apk 5) Device: Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> google maps -> remove 6) Reboot device 7) PC: run adb install <blah>.maps.apk Should be working now. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RatSon Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 build.prop seems a little bit strange to me too. it contains uk-specific things compoaring to previous wwe settings. I also suggest adding ro.ril.hsxpa=2 ro.ril.gprsclass=12 ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8 ro.ril.enable.a53=1 ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix= to the file, this improves 3g speed up to 100%, and causes no performance or battery problems. error found in build.prop, i was wondering why i couldn't see pay apps MCR 3.2 build.prop : ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_hero/hero/hero:1.5/2.73.405.5/61267:user/ MCR 3.1 build.prop : ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_hero/hero/hero:1.5/2.73.405.5/61267:user/release-keys tried to modify and after reboot it doesn't keep my new build.prop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
