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

[Guest geovass]

You have a full time job there my friend ;-)

[Guest GodsDevil]

Will fix the build.prop and update the fingerprint for performance with a Beta 2 update today (amongst other things). :)

That was super fast B)

Hey Paul, any news from your 'sources' about release of 2.0/2.1???

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

Yeah. I found this the hard way. Modify build.prop.nopassword, and reboot. It seems dropbear SSH takes the nopassword file, adds the password, then re-writes build.prop on each boot. Silly if you ask me, but there you have it.

use taskiller with care!

if it is running it is waking up every ~10 secs and comsuming 10-50% cpu even while sleep. since i don't use it's auto kill feature and have removed itself from ignore list, my lags are gone.

i found this while playing with Radiant, it slowed down so mutch it was unplayable. i checked what is consuming resources (with top - adb) and found this. extremely strange....

sorry for my english, i hope i was clear :)

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 Paul]

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.

Not currently, but I will probably add this.

'not ready yet' is what I hear! B)

Paul, maybe a hint about when?

yeah found that just after posting my problem

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

OMG, just how much do I love this? My ROM, built just for me!

Android just becomes more and more of what I want, and what WinMo could have been (to some extent).

Thanks Paul

[Guest robtue]

Paul, I've been busting to try this but my subscription is still "pending" even though my payment went through days ago.

Any chance of checking it out?

Thanks

[Guest RatSon]

you need to reboot twice or more to feel the gain.

i use speedtest.net to measure and my hsdpa speed doubled up.

anyone else experiencing gain/problems with this?

Baked and installing right now.... Thanks Paul !

[Guest mike enjoys android]

Paul, maybe a hint about when?

Paul will do this asap... let him do his appreciated job! ;-)

no tweak on bytel france

[Guest RatSon]

please check this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595108

and this explanation: http://androinica.com/2009/12/14/hack-for-...er-2g3g-speeds/

i think our case is that build.prop is overwritten with every restart, hence no improvement. (only with MCR 3.2b1)

@Paul, could you tell us how to prevent build.prop from overwriting?

I believe if you modify build.prop.nopassword it works, it'll pull them into the actual build.prop. I just tested and went from

602.5 Kbit/s and 95.6Kbits

to

907.6Kbit/s and 117.1 Kbit/s

both tests are on are from within 5 minutes of each other and phone didn't move.

I can confirm this. I posted it up in the MCR thread in response to @Ratson, but I think it got lost/buried in the merge.

Dropbear SSH seems to take the build.prop.nopassword and push it to build.prop on each boot, adding the dropbear password to the build string.

If you remove dropbear, I'm not certain what happens, but I think you would be able to just edit build.prop on its own (change wouldn't be overwritten on boot)

As for my speeds, I didn't see too much of an improvement on downstream (2Mbps without anyway :)) but I get a bit extra out the upstream (was 350kbps now 500-540kbps).

I've done a wipe today, so I'll try and do it definitively today, with phone in same location, during the day when network is quiet. I'll try speedtest.net's app and xtremelabs (as used above) and post back some time today.

I can confirm, changing build.prop.nopassword works.

my hsdpa speed went from 1.4Mbps to 2.6Mbps.

[Guest Paul]

Just testing 3.2 Beta 2 now with updated / fixed build.prop, updated Titanium Backup, some 2.1 icons (i'm importing resources gradually) and a couple of other tweaks.

P

[Guest Paul]

Also got rid of the '3' icons that appear after a wipe, hehe...

[Guest Naruc]

I am still pretty new to this, but now atleast I am a plus member and can try this out :-D but one more stupid custion from cold norway..

what is this? Rebuild based on the .73 update or can I have a explanation on what this is compared to what is in the 3.1?

[Guest grasvater]

The WEP encryption in wireless tethering app does not work. Is this only in my case?

[Guest]

Great ROM this 3.1 is :) Only problem I have is with the WiFi. Once you turn it on (using HTC widget, didn't try other methods) u can't turn it Off. Any solution??
