10/Mar 3.2 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for GSM Hero (now with online kitchen)

[Guest kingkeld]

Have anyone had any trouble with market enabler on beta 2? When I try to set a fake provider the phone just reboots. It worked fine with 3.1...

I have had trouble with it before, constantly, and only once on beta two. Should you know know it, the way to get it to work is to MANUALLY reboot the phone (not just let MarketEnabler reboot it) and try again. Works every time right after reboot. I have no idea what causes the problem.

Now that we are at MarketEnabler, I can not install new versions. It says it has trouble parsing the file. Does anyone know what I can do about that?

To all those still experiencing sluggishness after a while (or excessive battery drain) I have completely solved these on my Hero and thought I'd share...

I removed 2 things:

The HTC clock widget from Home screen (replaced it by android standard which has no seconds display)

Last but not least, removed the Taskiller widget. Seems it goes wild after a while, using ~25% CPU for extended amount of time and periodically ! This is a real CPU killer and seems to only display that behavior after a while...

All sluggishness has disappeared and this is after 48H uptime !

Running with a 128MB compcache on MCR 3.2beta - TCK 1.92

For me it was the HTC Weather widget. After removing it all seems well againg :)

since 3.2 i miss the function to switch 2g or 3g networks,

when i am looking at the mobile internet connection settings there are a lot of options missing which where there when 3.1 was released and even before on all mcr versions but now there a just a few settings

i made a screenshot but it's in german but normally there should be more than this settings:

for example to switch between 2g and 3g and allow

I wiped and reloaded the ROM again and now all is fine. Panic over. :)

cus its a "3" network rom, they have disabled the 2g option from the rom. :)

[Guest masterpfa]

If its the one in the youtube video at the bottom of the link isn't that just one of the players off the market?

I haven't still got it on mine so I can't remember what its called but that UI looks very familiar...

Actually just got in a again to check and the one I thought it was is called rock on....

That's the one :) Cheers!

EDIT: And now deleted :)

hi paul,

could you add apn's for Orange CH to the list?

I have the same problem with my provider (o2 gemany). I have the mcr 3.1 custom on my hero. I think, the problem is a application problem. The application locale 1.x with power save plugin, I suspect. After I deinstalled the power save plugin, I don't have problems withe the wrong apnsuffix.

Which applications do you use on your hero?

best regards michael

Hi. I also have Locale and Power Save plugin, uninstalled Power Save but the issue remained. Had to Wipe again. Is this a Power Save issue, incompatibility with MCR, with the network, or what?

I don't seem to be able to push files into this rom?

Since I can't find goggles in the market, I pushed it to system/app as usual after remounting and nothing. I can see it with the correct permissions, but it doesn't show up.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Google Goggles isn't compatible with Android 1.5 - that's why it doesn't appear in the Market and why it doesn't work on your phone.

[Guest Phanes]

@teknologist. ... thanx for the clock widget hint!

[Guest theFRAGGLE]

I removed the clock/weather widget and added a small clock only widget. Battery seems to be better. Dropping fast but I am in heavy use mode today :-)

I think the Power Save plugin isn't compatible with locale 1.x. It is only compatible with the BETA of locale. I'm waiting for a update of the Power Safe plugin now. I dont wipe my phone after the problem, I'm edit only the apn settings and delete the stringt 'apnsuffix'.

my bad, I thought 3.2 was built on a 2.x rom. That would explain why my unlock screen didn't work either.

Hi all,

I've just rooted my Hero. I wanted to play around with some things and I was wondering if the source code to the modifications is available anywhere?

e.g. I'd like to make some changes to the SuperUser app, but I'm finding it difficult to track down the latest source. (The source here http://code.google.com/p/superuser/ seems woefully out of date, but I'm not sure I want to just randomly pick one of the others, e.g. http://github.com/ChainsDD/android_packages_apps_Superuser/ which appears to be slightly different to what is in the MoDaCo ROM)

I guess the next question I'll have is how to update the app on the phone, but I'll worry about that later.

Oh, one more question. 'adb shell' is now dropping me straight into a root shell. Is this normal? Is there a way make it give me a normal shell by default?

For those who have problems can try this code:

Im not sure if 3.2 has any benefits over 3.1? Actually if anything its worse, I seem to be getting less battery life, weaker coverage, market not loading and then theres a few three network bits here and there. It might also be a little be slower??

What does everybody else reckon?

badantii, make sure you are logged into www.modaco.com, try right-click-save-as, try disabling any ad blockers or script blockers.

Didn't discover any 3 things but still 3.2 feels slower. Yesterday my battery was running pretty low and everything went totally unresponsive. Took almost up to two seconds to switch homescreen or open a menu and so on.

Hi there,

I've been playing a lot with the baking machine and since a while, even after wiping everything, I keep having the same message while trying to set up a new baked rom :

E:\can't chown/mod data/app

(No such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 369:

set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app

Installation aborted.

I can use any other rom (testing all kind of 2.1), even can nand backup, but I can't cook...BTW : options ticked (when cooking) are : sense, sync, ssh, mail

Voilà !!

Need a little help from my friends...

Thx :)

[Guest Paul]

Ah, OK, you need to include something on /data, e.g. Google Maps or similar. I'll fix this tomorrow.
