AOSP Eclair 2.1 r4 for GSM Hero (now with online kitchen)

[Guest jnwhiteh]

no i see ;) i rly dont know how to get a luncher from another rom, i have the "launcher5" update zip from ckdroid rom, u think that will change it?

well well, perhaps il just wait and see if u change it :D or perhaps if u got the time u could extract one that works for me?

if u got time and so on!

unzip Launcher.apk from any ROM.

adb remount

adb push Launcher.apk system/app

Nice ROM. If BT works in my car it might just stay on my phone. At least until the official Hero 2.1 hits the streets. The are just so many things that work better in 2.1.

I would love to find a digital clock that matches that weather widget. I'm almost convinced I saw one at some point. It matched perfectly, fonts and all.

There is standard android keyboard and hacked one from nexus (which is good, because there is voice input).

CM-hero beta2 can be found here, for those who want to check it out. It has the latest synchronised sources, as there were quite a number of updates in the past few days:

cm-hero-beta2.zip

is it app2sd enabled?

[Guest appel_]

Got my first soft reset with beta2 this morning. Might be totally unrelated but I've attached a snipped from the kernel ksmg log, probably wont tell anyone much though. :\

Lox's launcher is the exact same launcher as stock (4x4), with new graphics. That's it..

Also, please don't edit your posts..

they make the difference imo. why shouldnt i edit my post? id rather not double post

[Guest jnwhiteh]

It's the same as any of the other ROMS posted in this thread, in that regard.

Because I had already responded, and did not see your change until I went back and looked again. That makes it too easy to miss something. I respond very very quickly to most posts.

Also, your choices are the stock AOSP launcher, or CM's launcher. That's it, really.

That's not really new, afaik. I haven't seen that work in any of the 2.x Hero ROMS yet?

I think the option was there in one of the more recent KaguDroids, 1.2.x maybe. I'm not sure if it worked or not though, but I'm pretty sure a check box was present on the adjust brightness screen.

I believe he includes the proximity sensor application, but that wouldn't change that. That's not my understanding either way, can you check again? If it's there, we should be able to compile it in as well.

I just restored a backup and it is in there. Menu-->Settings-->Sound & Display-->Brightness. There's a check-box labeled "Automatic brightness".

Then I'll have to look into it, thanks.

Hi, i have downloaded the KaguDroid version of 2.1 but notice it does include some work from yourself. It is quite stable and has only the same issues you have mentioned on yours (camera, 3d gallery etc.)

Which is the more feature complete version? Also, they have a link to 1.9 google apps sources. Would this be better included in your download?

Google 1.9 sources from Htcpedia

Cheers,

Carl.

In short, they're quite literally the same at the source level. 1.2.1 Kagu is the same as the cm-hero betas I have been posting.

jnwhiteh: bro i have wiped data and ext3 and installed the cynaogen rom. but i find the internal storage is decreasing after i install every application. it was 0 mb used when i installed the rom and now its 40mb used. and i installed root explorer and found out that no sd directory inside /system. then i wiped and re-installed rom again and found out that no sd directory created and i dint even find any app2sd script in the rom as well. could you please have a look? cheers

[Guest Unika]

jnwhiteh,

I've installed your latest beta, and tested bluetooth file transfer. It works (both sending and receiving) with every other phone I could find. So, please keep that in mind. Thanks.

[Guest nilmunny]

I have tried Installing this ROM a few times, wiped the phone and did an apply update. Phone never gets past the splash screen when i reboot...

Have i totally missed something here?

Apps2sd needs to be enabled, and at the current moment, you're correct.. there is no /system/sd directory. I'll fix that in the future. Nothing is automatic, you have to explicitly enable app2sd using the script, which does exist.

Which ROM? There's quite a few listed, and it really does matter.

Hey sorry man, its the one on the original post, aosp-2.1-jnwhiteh-r4.zip

You shouldn't be stuck in a boot loop, really.

1. Wipe data/cache

2. Flash the ROM

3. Flash the GoogleBits

4. Boot

[Guest venturerider]

Two questions:

1. Regarding the changes to build.prop for the US as suggested in the first post, does this apply to Canada as well?

2. Mention was made of an update.zip to install cyonagen's multitouch browser. All I could find was a post that listed three files to download (apk, so and xml if I remember correctly) and instructions to install them. I did not find an update.zip per say. Can we have a link? And which browser is it? I assume it replaces the existing one.
