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

[Guest bigviv]

just installed the latest, and after getting it done, the phone just restarts after it goes to sleep (or after i do anything on it) the phone keeps restarting!

have i missed something?

thanks though, great work!

[Guest Keramidas]

Do you guys mean that the new ROM takes 30 MB more RAM, or 30 MB more space in /data (internal flash memory) ?

[Guest pookie1]

Seems like any themes made already won't work on 2.9. They just send the phone into a bootloop after applying.

I'm guessing as this is based on the new leaked ROM they will all need to be rebuilt again :D

[Guest Paul]

If you have bootloops, ensure swapper is not running. You can boot into recovery and use adb to delete it from /data/app.

a wipe perhaps?

[Guest MrBackslash]

Some of my paid apps are missing an i can't find them in the market. What should i do to get them back?

Edit: Also a lot of other apps i can't find in the market for expample Taskpanel X.

i am using MCR 2.8 and recently updated to teknologist 1.8 kernel. so far the performance is great and i don't really have much to complain. should i just skip this version? really looking forward to getting some bluetooth obex loving working on the hero.

[Guest Paul]

Can anyone confirm market issues?

I'm using the same build fingerprint from MCR 2.8 so it shouldn't be an issue, I am investigating though.

Thanks.

It seems to me, all work fine. I removed swapper using ASTRO. Thanks again.

Hi,

I've updated from 2.8 to 2.9. Everything is fine here. No bootloops, no missing app and the market seems to be ok. But some memory is missing (30-40MB). Where is it gone?

[Guest theFRAGGLE]

Yepp, I am missing paid apps, too. Some of them I bought already and uninstalled - now they are gone... :-(

Is it 30 MB of internal (flash) memory or RAM that is missing ?

[Guest freddy87]

sorry, forgot to say. the internal flash memory is missing...

Don't worry: as far as I know, they are memorized in your Google account. As soon as you see them again in Market, you can download them without paying again.

[Guest Loxley]

Would the people with missing memory please post the results of the following commands (in Connectbot or adb shell):

1. "free"

2. "df -h"

[Guest Keramidas]

Ok, so that would mean /data has grown ? Random guess: perhaps they added/changed many classes and the dalvik-cache needs clearing ?

Hi Freddy.

Reports are saying that any kind of (old) them will make this ROM go bad! So to make your phone working: Don't install any theme! (update_clear.zip).

The best thing to do now is - I think - to wipe and reflash so you know you have a clean ROM installation.

Either install 2.7 / 2.8 with a theme, or try 2.9 but without a theme!

[Guest ptruman]

After the install, I lost stuff like browser and contact application and phone was a complete mess and warnings of low storage as well. reverted back to my nandroid backup of 2.8.

Is this because i had only 23 MB phone memory and everyone is reporting about 30 MB less than previous ROM i.e. my phone had no memory left and hence the flashing didnt go well?

This is probably down to the teknologist kernel using RAM for swap (compache) - go read the other stickied thread :D

[Guest dipje]

well, I compared the build.prop from 2.9 with an older build.prop and see nothing that would explain the missing apps from the Market, and I removed my /data/com.android.vending/cache

but still missing apps from the Market. That's all I could do with my very limited android knowledge. More ideas to try? :D

[Guest CeNSuRaDo]

After updating to 2.9 (from 2.8) it warns me about "Damaged SD card" and before was all OK

What should I do?

Uninstall the Swapper app.

[Guest liorry]

With all the problems people reporting, I think I'll stay with the great 2.8 version.

Paul, thank you very much for adding Hebrew pack.

Does this means the people will now work and not force close with Hebrew named contacts?

Thank you!

EDIT: flashed Hebrew pack on MCR 2.8 and numbers are still backwards and people widget still force closing with Hebrew contacts. :D
