30/Jun r5 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for GSM Hero now with Online Kitchen - Android 2.1

[Guest flushy4]

what is the perfect partition table ?

i am still on mcr 3.2 and i like to install mcr 4. i read loads of posts but i cannot find the perfect partition table for the sd card.

i got fat32 (rest), ext3(512 mb) for app2sd ( ext2 should be better cos there is no journaling ??? is that right ? is it faster ?)

and a 32 mb swap ( question: is a swap partition still needed for mcr 4 ? do 2.1 costum roms use swap anyway ? )

with the 2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.91 kernel from mcr 3.2, swap is not needed anymore. see (in the first post):

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...p-for-gsm-hero/

so what is recommended for mcr 4 ?

I'm wondering what the SIM Toolkit is and what it's used for. On my system, I only see a Roam/INTL option and two other options when I select it: INTL1 and INTL2. What is that?

[Guest philos64]

Finally, everything is OK.

We deeply apologize, but I used to point the wrong file for the update. :)

And now I'm MCR4 Build3.

I look forward to the patch and the final version.

Thank's ¨Paul for your great job :)

I am using the clock on my home screen which has the weather on it, but the weather isn't being displayed.

I'm probably haven't done something blindingly obvious, but is there a certain setting I need to turn on for that to update or simply just display?

The SIM Toolkit enables you to access Operator specific functions from the SIM card. In my case I have Domestic and International as the only choices. I have to choose International from here for my phone to work outside Scandinavia.

Other operators include shortcuts to e.g. top up your prepaid account or check your remaining balance from here (often using SMS messages in the background). It differs a lot between operators

In your case it's probably to enable international roaming. Ask your operator for details.

Thank you very much Paul.

Wiped everything (really everything: data, dalvik, ext, battery, sensor), installed from kitchen with A2SD+ and EVERYTHING is running smooth and fast.

Wonderful.

More information: I have 1 GB ext2 partition in a 16 GB Class 2 (yes, you read correctly, class 2 Card from Sandisk), and the speed is fantastic, no lags at all.

Performed then a TitaniumBackup and had all my apps and setting runnin' 30 mins. after installing your ROM.

GREAT

Mine worked out the box, have you tried opening the weather section and making sure Automatic Download is enabled. Also in the clock i think theres an option to use your location, maybe make sure thats checked?

Also: I have been using the chinese radio this ROM came with but tbh it sucks on T-Mobile, at least for me (home and work), so have gone back to the older radio. This gives me consistently better reception and data connection. If anyone else does it be warned it took a godly amount of time to restart after installing, I thought I broke something, easily 5 minutes on the HTC screen and maybe another 5 once it had booted to get back to normal speed, since thought it has been perfect. Havent tried another reboot but even if it did take a while I would prefer that & better signal

+1 here.

I'm another T-Mobile UK user and I have reverted my radio too. I'm hoping the radio that ships with the EU version later this month proves a little better. In saying that though, there really isn't anything wrong with the radio that comes with MCR 3.2!

When you plug in it should request what you want to do with it, there's an option for sync or storage.

I'm a T-Mobile UK user (with a G2 touch) and the new radio has improved my signal quite considerably (wi-Fi, Mobile and GPS lock time). Strange so many people are seeing such varied results

i know...this option is also in settings but it doesn't show.... :)

I am using RA-hero-v1.3.2 and tried flashing a APPS2SD version of this ROM. I wiped data/cache/dalvik-cache/SD:ext and then did a flash. I am now getting reboot loops on the "HTC Quietly" screen. A adb log cat is posted at http://pastebin.ca/1881115

Appreciate if someone could advise on what to try next.

Thanks,

D.

[Guest milko9000]

maybe worth updating RA-hero? Current is 1.6.2

[Guest gekn]

I have an unusual problem with the tuch screen, it's really non responsive, don't register touches correctly more like it has it's own life. I have wiped a couple of times, dalvik and sd to. Tried apd2 and non aps2sd, formated sd-card, partitiond and non partition. It won't go away. I'm using lates realease and have not the same problem with other roms.

Would be very thankful for clues.

Update with the current version Amon Ra v1.6.2. No problem to flash afterwards.

Try it.

This happened to me the first time I flashed a 2.1 ROM. Some areas of the screen were completely unresponsive, and other times the screen just went haywire without even touching it! I nandroided back to a MCR 3.2 and found it was a little better but now and then the screen would just be unusable.

Read through a few forums and the general consensus was that I had developed a hardware fault! However, it seems to have settled down now and I don't have any issues anymore. Not really sure what the fix was :/

Thanks for help but no luck. Updated to 1.6.2 and then wiped everything again and reflashed. Same reboot loop.

Look through the logcat output it seems like plurk that is causing it to bork. I will try and bake a ROM without it and see how it goes.

[Guest]

Is there a conclusive answer regarding whether it's ok to use Orange (UK) branded handsets and the new radio together?

[Guest yfaykya]

Taking plurk out of the ROM sorted it.

@Paul : There may be an issue with plurk in the ROM. I submitted logs above.

The radio has made a massive difference on my T-mobile G2, very happy :)

same here in Italy on H3G

[Guest stealth75abc]

I am very satisfied with this rom. :) Can't wait till the european version is comming out. :) I have one problem so far: Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications => causes FC "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Pleasy try again." Does anyone have the same problem?

[Guest venturerider]

I understand that this ROM is de-ODEX'd so that themes can be applied, but isn't ODEX faster/more efficient?

My dilemna is that the original 2.1 release is ODEX'd while the newer builds are not. If I stick with the original (which works fine for me) because I prefer ODEX'd, then I will not be upgrading at all in the future when a better kernel, etc. are released.
