[Guest ermacwins]

Network location using cell towers working :)

I pulled the libhtc_ril.so file from Paul's Nexus One flash zip and uploaded it to my Hero and I'm happy to confirm network location is working!

The file you need is here:

http://depositfiles.com/files/4dff2rl1x

You'll need to do the following:

download and unzip the file I've posted above

adb pull /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so (to a backup directory of your choice)

adb remount

change to the directory where you've unzipped the downloaded file

adb push libhtc_ril.so /system/lib

adb reboot

Almost forgot to say, thanks so much for the ROM jnwhiteh, absolutely love it!

At the weekend I'm going to see whether I can get some of the HTC apps working on this rom, specifically HTC mail for exchange from one of the leaked roms. I like sense UI, but I only need a few bits of it.

The light is NOT always green.. the light is amber until about 90% charge when it turns green. This is the default and correct behavior.

i disagree, mine stays green for the entire charge too. and for notifications.

otherwise however this rom rules, not experiencing any other issues :) thanks!

Awesome mate, will put this in immediately!

[Guest jnwhiteh]

I can also confirm issues using Nandroid and Bart from RA-Recovery-1.5.2.

Error : Run 'nandroid-backup.sh' via adb!

I had similar issues with r4 of the AOSP 2.0.1 series, but not with kagudroid.

I can confirm neither of these issues, and Kagudroid is BASED on this ROM. Not really sure what to tell you. Go run nandroid-backup.sh and see what it says.

Not trivially no, at the moment. HTC's modifications have always been a bit hard to find just how they accomplished them.

Confirmed working in Norway on NetCom/Chess :)

[Guest vorcigernix]

=) it's working but =) mixed up icons or not fit into Hero screen =)

well, it is not...you can't use it unless u re total freak..you can say that gallery is working with some issues, but not this

[Guest teknologist]

Great work with this ROM ! If you want AOSP 2.1 on your Hero, this is definitely the ROM to get.

One thing I had to do to get apps2sd working...Had to manually create the /system/sd directory

adb remount

adb shell mkdir /system/sd

adb shell apps2sd on

reboot phone

wait on first boot (can take a long time depending on number of apps installed on SD ~ 10minutes on mine)

Congratulations for the great work !

Cheers!

[EDIT] If you are upgrading from a 1.5 based ROM I strongly recommend you wipe SD-EXT partition prior to enabling apps2sd as some apps won't work and in my case it even broke the ROM, had to nandroid restore.

Does anyone have Latitude working in Google Maps on 2.1 r1? When I select Join Latitude from the menu, a box with the text "Login failed" appears almost instantaneously, at the same time logcat displays:

Give that man a hat! Awesome, now I can really use this ROM everyday without any problems (I was missing locale :) )

i think i must be missing something about locale, i've seen it mentioned a lot but never how it's used. can it change BT/wifi state when you leave a certain wifi area? that's the impression I've got, no idea how to achieve it though...

edit: found it. paid only, no trial.. no chance.

Fantastic! And thank you jnwhiteh for this superb aosp 2.1 ROM! I will use it as my everyday rom for a while to test everything out.

Confirmed here, in France, with Network Operator Bouygues Telecom.

Thank you man !

PS : I confirm that, while in charge, the LED is always green, never orange. This was not the case with prior ROM, where the LED was orange, and turned green as soon as charge reached 90%
