Haykuro's 5.0.2G vs The Dude's .08

I haven't seen a thread on this yet, but what are the differences between the two? Both have a working market.
The dude's .08
+Teeter
+PDFviewer
+H build music widget
*H Build calendar widget
-possible mic issues
-possible sound level isues/bluetooth
-reported slowe
-more basic animations (fancier ones can be enabled with spareparts)
Haykuro 5.0.2G
+reported faster
+nicer animations
-calendar widget doesn't update unless phone/widget restarted
If anyone has anything comments/issues/advantages post them up so i can update this.

I downloaded The Dude's .08 before the market started working for Kaykuro builds, so I'd be interested in seeing this comparison as well. So far I have no reason to switch from The Dude's.

thedudes build seemed slower on my phone, about the same speed as JF rc33 and haykuros H build, while haykuros G build is like lightning on my phone. thedude had the same fade rotate animation but could use the fancy rotate animation from spareparts(which is my fave) but the home didn't autorotate. the dude also has the same calendar widget and music widget as the H build. The calendar widget in haykuro's G build doesn't actually update you have to either restart your phone or delete the widget and put a new one out, I didn't use thedudes long enough to know if its fixed in his

Not had any mic issues with my phone on dude's, nor any sound issues (can't vouch for bluetooth, I don't have anything that uses it). As for speed, I haven't used Haykuro's, so I have no idea if it's any faster (if it is, I doubt it's that much faster, dude's is plenty fast). I use the basic animations because the fancy ones annoy me, and they probably use more battery.

I just tried Haykuro's 5.0.2G build. It's not bad, but the market crashes on me when installing new apps. The Dude's .08 build isn't bad either, but I don't like the junk included with it (teeter, pdf reader etc.). It also seems to feel a little more 'unfinished' than Haykuro's builds (keyboard auto correction, etc.). I have noticed no difference in speed at all.
I'm going to try the latest H build now... Can't seem to find a build that really satisfies yet.

You can remove the stuff that you don't want. That's the beauty of having a rooted phone.

I personally have used Haykuro's G build until the Market broke. Then have switched to Dude's version. Honestly I have not experienced any issues with it. I can't say it's slower or faster than Haykuro's build. So unless there is something new added to Haykuro's G that Dude's version does not have, I'm sticking with it.

I went from JF's RC33 to The Dude's .08 and one of the first things I noticed was the volume level in The Dude was noticeably lower. Maxed out, the volume on JF and stock RC33 was like 50% louder than The Dude's .08 maxed out. I'm talking about ringtone/notification volumes that are produced from the onboard speaker, not in headphones.
Haven't downloaded Haykuro's builds yet so I can't compare that at the moment.

Haykuro ver will better than Dude ver. Haykuro ver have imaging interface, almost feature is good. Please check out my topic, you will be able make your H-build better. I like H build, It support 3d module. I see that G build lost this mudule.

Rather than going to different threads & posting the same thing, why not inform people how to add this to the g build?? Instead of "hey mine is better" & sticking your tongue out at us, why not just have one badass build with the best of both worlds?

oo the market werks now in haykuro lol, the dude build is fine not much problems, i think... i wonder if i should switch back.

Im on dude .8 and its cool everything works and it runs smooth. I used the Hakykuro 5.0.1g but market didnt work so i didnt use it for long but i guess i will have to try it again.

I've used both versions and haven't really noticed any speed difference. Only thing I've noticed is the dude's version is missing auto correct. Other than that both are pretty close. I guess Haykuro's is a little more finished but he has been working on it longer. Both are really nice and are getting close to perfect.

actually the auto correct works...

i think both of them are great builds im just wondering why neither one of them put in the voice search , i use that app all the time , anyone know how to add it in?

they both work well
I only used the Dude's build for about a day before the market issue sorted itself out for Haykuro's G build, but I found it perfectly fine as a daily driver generally speaking and enjoying some aspects of it quite a bit. I'm sure I didn't note all the differences, but these were the things that stood out to me:
The "fancy" animations can be enabled via Spare Parts, which might be nice for some, but I use dxTop and I found the fancy animations to be pretty slow and clumsy on my phone and turned them off.
PDF reader is very cool and something I plan to install on Haykruo's G build when I get around to it (assuming the directions I've seen for doing so work that is).
Teeter is cool IMHO but I think that can be installed on the G build too.
The keyboard auto-correct absence was not too bothersome to me since I've primarily been using the original HTC keyboard in funbacon's tutorial and it works good on both builds outside of Gmail itself, where I couldn't get the HTC vk to work in either case. It's not a big deal to switch back to the Android Keyboard if I want to tap out a Gmail one handed, but not ideal really. In those instances the G build is preferred due to the presence of auto-correct/suggest on the Android Keyboard.
The Dude's build supports the "three-fingered-salute" reboot option as well as Gscript or terminal reboots, which is a big plus for me since I'm rebooting my phone several times a day generally (I know, it's a little weird). Neither of these work on Haykuro's G build at the moment.
I didn't spend too much time playing with the camera and camcorder on the Dude's build, but the video playback seemed to still have problems and, although the very fancy camera and camcorder apps of Haykuro's H build are appealing, the basic G build camera seems to work fine for the most part.
I believe the new Forecast widget works on all three of the common 1.5 builds, but unfortunately not with dxTop.
I switched to Haykuro 5.0.2G for now as I perceive it to be faster/smoother overall, but it's possible I'm just more used to it. It's also possible that restoring data.img from the G build when I switched to Dude v8 caused some subtle compatibility/stability issues as well, so I'll probably flash Dudecake after a wipe and set up my phone (apps and settings) from scratch to get a better idea of how the OS performs overall.

I don't really understand what you are saying. The purppose of this thread is to discuss the G builds. Until H has the google keyboard in it I am gonna stay away. Are you saying the H has openGL and G is missing it? That would be good to know.

weird, 5.0G supported call-menu-end reboot, but 5.01Gr4 doesnt... Also every version of haykuro's G i've used has had the pdfviewer installed by default

i tried both and i'm sticking with haykuro's build for now.
Its faster than the dude's version for some reason even though the dude is using the latest code from the master branch.

getting goog Nav to work on Darch Legend v2?

Darch Legend v2 is by far darch's quickest and least buggy release. The main downside on that ROM is that Google nav won't work properly.
It starts up fine and the voice even starts giving you prompts...but right after it says "acquiringdirections" or whatever, the screen goes black and it doesn't show the maps/roads. After that it freezes and is useless.
I asked darch how he got it working in his next releases and he said it is a system framework issue.
I'm starting this thread cuz I'm on a mission to get it working but I'm not a dev. I am gonna start looking at the differences in framework between the two roms to see what files need to be moved where.
If anyone (devs or not) has any ideas of what might be causing this, please join the conversation. I'm hoping to get some help. Thanks. Once I get the fix, I'll post it for the rest of xda. But I'll get it way quicker if I have some help.
So....any ideas? Would using logcat help me in this situation?

Its not looking good on this issue. That ver. leak had a couple issues with it including no web in apps. So I think you would do better going to the newest version and working those issues out. Your taking on a major task just to get maps to work.

Also the newest darchlegend uses the newest legend ruu

4.1 is not laggy if you download autokiller and set it to aggressive. I hung on to v2 for a while because I liked the responsiveness, but in my opinion v4.1 is just as good in that area with the autokiller.

Opinion: Best "Vanilla" Android 2.1 ROM experience for Hero?

I've done a handful of searches in both this general forum and the Hero CDMA dev forum, and I'd really like to hear your opinions as to which is the most workable, viable VANILLA Android 2.1 ROM available for the Hero.
Background: I'm currently on the Fresh 2.1.2 ROM, coming from the installation of the Fresh 2.1 ROM from a couple weeks ago, and from the Fresh 2.0d ROM two months before that. I'm a total stability whore -- I silently trolled these forums for weeks before deciding to root and install a Fresh ROM a couple months ago. I've stuck exclusively to Flipz' Fresh ROMs, as they're fast and I've had ZERO issues with them, and it's hard to give that up. And yet, my wife just got a Moto Droid this week and after playing with stock vanilla Android 2.1, I find myself somehow attracted to that spartan interface. Sure, I can boot into Launcher Pro on Fresh 2.1.2, and my *launcher* will be vanilla-ish, but it will continue to take me to the underlying HTC Sense apps (messaging, music, etc.).
My thoughts: I like the look and idea of DarchVanilla ROM, but that author has no immediate plans to update it and it has a few small remaining issues. I'm starting to fall hard for the look of and rationale behind Konikub's new PureHero 2.x ROM, and may load that one up this week. My only hesitation there is that it's built off of the Damage base. Nothing wrong with that, Damage does awesome work (I've read and heard) just as Flipz does, but I've never tried a Damage ROM and am loathe to give up the fast, stable Fresh ROM experience for "undiscovered country." Gotta say, though, that Konikub's tweaks in PureHero have got me standing with one foot over the abyss, ready to tumble in...
Any recommendations? Vanilla-ish ROM user experiences? General advice? Care to talk me into staying in the HTC Sense world? Let me hear it all. And thanks in advance for sharing...

I use both sense and vanilla because i am torn in between. Ultimately i end up using Sense with Vanilla apps like sense with vanilla music apk and i come up with a twisted mix of the two.
If you twisted my arm about it i would have to go with sense because it has more flare.

If you want a real Vanilla Rom, Aosp experience, Just Roll with Darchdroid 2.6 it doesnt get any better that As for Sense DamageControl or fressshhhh

The only real taste of vanilla you're gonna get on the Hero is DarchDroid. It's not perfect, but it's getting there and Darch is actively working on it.

I agree with ^^^
If you like the vanilla experience, then you are doing yourself a disservice by not at least trying darchdroid 2.6.2. My setup is DD 2.6.2 with the zeam. 1.3.3 launcher. It looks like the espresso launcher, but much improved. It works well with 360 degree. rotation, the middle button launches app tray (either normal slider style, or launcher2 style), and the side buttons can easily be configured almost any way you want- from launching the browser or the phone to opening contacts or settings. With overclock and jit, I have no noticeable lag. Oh yeah! And you can pick anywhere from 3 to 9 screens or any number in-between! It will even let you select which screen you want to be your homescreen.
LOL, if you can't tell, I really love this combo!

I must agree that DarchDroid 2.62 is definitely the way to go. I am using it with the Launcher Pro Beta and love the clean look of AOSP. It doesn't get more basic and clean than my homescreen. The launcher has phone, contacts, apps, messaging and internet built in. I also applied the theme from Magnus - KKD_MOD v3.2 to add some extra features behind the scenes

sushi rom, ice rom pure hero are awesome prollly the best roms you could get stripped of sense besides a full asop, and so is darchdroid, i flashed darchdroid about 4 days ago and i pulled the livewallpapers and this rom is easily my fav rom ever. Reason being is because i am a huge asop fan. darchdroid is fast and i mean fast, like the guy above said darch is actively working to fix the issues but its so good its bearable. did i spell that right. Only problem with this one to me is the battery issue. something drains the battery pretty quick full charge will only get you about half a day but bring your car charger and its worth it. sorry if my words seem jumbled i just woke up.

Thanks, y'all!
I really appreciate all of the timely input -- I've got both the PureHero and now the latest DarchDroid ROMs on my SD card and will probably pull the trigger on DarchDroid in the next day or two.
My ONLY gripe there is that I use my Hero's camera. A lot. I know we've all been spoiled with the inclusion of cameras in our phones for too many years to remember, but does anyone find that DarchDroid's lack of camera functionality to be a non-starter for them?

Dude, LOVE the golf ball wallpaper on this!

the new darchdroid does have working camera, but a battery drain problem. if you can go about 6 hours between charges its good, works great. (read awesome)
i downgraded back to v2.5.x because i don't use the camera.
he said he was planning on uploading 2.6.3 tonight so you may wait around for that, should fix the battery issue.

DarchDroid doesn't lack camera.... make sure you're look at version 2.6.2

The camera has been fixed since the upgrade to the .29 kernel which came with Darchdroid 2.6. Currently the only main issues with 2.6.2 is the video side of the camera isn't working & the battery drain.

The new Darch says it doesn't receive MMS. Does that mean the default app won't receive MMS and I can use Handcent for that; or the phone just won't receive any MMS's period?

Well ya that too, if someone sends you an MMS, you just receive a link to view it instead actually viewing it in the Messaging app.

IMHO

Vanilla is definitely the way to go man. While I haven't tried DarchDriod yet, I will say my vote is for Ic3Rom. It's been my daily ROM for well over a month and it's stable and fast and Mdawg112 is great about keeping it updated. Check it out - it's been great for me.
On a separate note, once you choose a ROM, try this launcher. I absolutely love it.

Oh, that's not nearly as bad as I had imagined.

yeah he said the battery drain has been fixed, not sure about mms though, you can send but you cant receive, and i pulled livewallpapers and the livewallpaperpicker and gallery3d and my battery has been way better i promise.

I second icerom..I'm very happy

dirkydirk23, are those the exact names of the files you pulled? And how exactly DID you pull them? I vaguely recall doing so by way of the SDK at the computer desktop on Fresh 2.0d a month or so ago but I've forgotten since then. I've been on DarchDroid2.6.2 for the past few hours and it's exactly what I'm looking for, but that 3D Gallery has GOT to go. Too slow and it's a usability nightmare.
One other issue while I'm at it -- any ideas how to get back Sprint's Visual Voicemail, or at least to configure the regular voice mail number in the dialer?

dude i know what you mean once i pulled them it was way better, ok i the exact names of the files i pulled were LiveWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and gallery 3d.apk this is how you do it, have your phone connected via usb in this exact order just copy and paste.
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
ls
after they all pull up just type in
rm LiveWallpapers.apk or whatever it says just like that make sure you put rm and it will remove it, fyi dont remove anything you dont know what its for or you will screw up something. fyi you have to type them how they are shown like if its a capitalized L there has to be one, its very case sensitive when removing them.
and if you look at the first post in the darchdroid thread he put the voicemail app as a download, you can download it and use a file explorer like astro or estrongs to install it i believe, i know for sure he posted it back.

First Impressions: [ROM][2.3.2] I9000XWJV1 (GINGERBREAD) for Galaxy S

The other thread has made me increasingly mental trying to find some decent information on what is working and what isn't working for SGS users upgrading to 2.3.2. I upgraded on Sunday evening without any issues and have been using it for the past 48hrs and have come across the following:
bad:
- no sip configuration options
- when integrated with MS exchange server, the unread count for emails never changes even after you read the mail
- default internet browser is horrifically slow, even with no other apps running in the background
- no samsung apps available (probably because this isn't an official samsung release)
good:
- android market works fine for me in Switzerland
- GPS works well with all the different apps i have
- wifi is interesting. it works, but i don't get full signal strength notification even when next to the access point
- FM radio, the most used app i have continues to work nicely
Overall I have been pleasantly surprised with this version. It's nice, although it's not an official release and is still leagues better than 2.1.x and 2.2. Would get a good argument from me about how it compares with 2.2.1..

Well, for me, I am not downloading torrents on my phone. When I want to download, via wifi, apps from the market or something with dropbox, the wifi isn't not letting me down. I think there's a disconnect between what the graphic is reporting and the actual level.
It's good because it still works and is functional and allows me to keep using this on a daily basis despite its status.

well its very early to give impression but its memory hungry battery hungry proned to black outs but to be honest when the bits all run nicely its good ive been running it over 24 hours now apart from mentioned problems its smooth looking forward to updates maybeys they will change ui and give us a few of the gingerbread goodies we all wanted ie tv of --3d apps screen and so on if you go settings then about and repeatadly press on version 2.3.2 i think about ten presses see gingerbreads easter egg at least they left us that lol enjoy egg hunting

Thats a good idea.. Not only might it help Samsung, but it will discourage people from running it (and later whinging).

i got it running for a few hours and i generally enjoyed it, but the keyboard has no bulgarian (well it have in the options but it does not work) and if you run out of ram you are screwed (the phone hangs or gets tooo slow ).
as said samsung apps doesn`t work and the gallery freezes very often...
i hate that samsung removed the fancy animations and the black menu bar....

There's like no gingerbread keyboard and launcher

1-3D performance
It's not as good as it was on 2.2.1. If you test some 3D games like NFS Shift, you culd see that it doesnt run so well as it did on 2.2.1
Some people even reports that they can’t even run lot of 3D games.
2-GPS
There are reports of a good gps performance, but I have read somewhere that it's contanstly throwing some kind of errors or bugs, I don't know how to check that. I guess they know it thanks to logcat or something like that.
According to what I could read on another forum they changed lot of gps files nad not is very similar to the ones of Nexus S, that's a good thing...
3-Keyboard
It’s also a shame that they didn’t include gingerboard keyboard…
PS: Some people might think that this thread isn’t useful, but as we are being kind of betatesters for Samsung it would be nice if we use this post only to report the most common bugs founds, so maybe Samsung could have a look at it and solve it faster.

Try to use supercurio kernel with voodoo lagfix enabled and it should solve the problem. Works for me when I used to have same internet browser issue like you

Same here, it was so slow till i had to restart my i9000.

I've been using it for the last two days now (one of them with Supercurio's Voodoo Hack) and I've been happy with it in some parts, but quite unhappy in others.
Lag:
First of all, it seems the "Lag" that was fixed in 2.2.1 is back. Especially with memory-Hungry applications like the Browser, the phone tends to just freeze up for a few minutes without really doing much. I even had to pull the battery one time. This does happen less with the voodoo-fix, but it's still noticeable. Flash also does barely work.
Gingerbread features:
The new Gyroscope-Driver seems to work and it works really well. Skymap and Starchart both looked a LOT better when using them, no fidgeting around all the time anymore.
The new Gingerbread animations are NOT present in this rom. It seems like Samsung thinks they don't fit into TouchWiz, which is a shame. So no glowing edges when overscrolling and no screen-off or screen-on animation.
3D Performance pretty much seems to be the same as on 2.2.1 Games load a little slower, but I think that's mostly because we're using an un-optimized kernel.
The Bluetooth-Driver unfortunately still is the same as in Previous versions. So Neither Wiiremote nor PS3 will pair with the SGS, unlike on Cyanogenmod.
Samsung-Stuff:
As was stated before, Swype does not work. However, I am in the Swype beta and was able to install the Beta of Swype into this rom after deleting the normal swype with root explorer. It works fine, even Voice input does work.
All in all, it is clear that this is beta-firmware and it doesn't really offer much in terms of improvement over 2.2.1, at least not yet. Cyanogenmod 7, even tho it supports less hardware and is more unstable, runs a LOT faster and smoother than this, is more customizable and uses more of the new Gingerbread features.
For now, I'll be going back to 2.2.1, it's more useful as a daily driver, but this at least looks promising so far.

Reverting back to 2.2.1. 2.3.2 is way too slow.

Well considering this is a beta it seems alot of the features that are suppose to be in the final build are here left out. That will give the reason for quite some things missing ( some animations, effects, lock screens, keyboards....) Plus also cause of the beta build maybe even alpha who knows, the performance for me is really bad, it feels twice as laggy compared to the 2.2.1 releases. All in all this build is an striped down, not optimized build for the samsung devs i guess. We will have to wait for a better build leak. Cheers !

Agreed, I switched back to JS5, but for the moment I'm keeping JVE modem. It performs WAY better for me. No random UMTS-disconnects.
But as others said, it's just a beta.

Thoughts on the new GB OTA 4.06.605.2

Well guys, I don't honestly know what to think about the new OTA. I tried it but wasn't overly impressed with it. However the speed and battery life is kinda nice. I still feel like it is lacking some features that a GB update should have had and I also feel VZW and HTC rushed this one. What do yall think?

Good Base For Future Mods
I suspect that the OTA will be a good base for future mods. I like it, but some of the features that I take for granted after using CM7 are missing.

I ran the leak for a while, I really liked it because of speed, but I can't believe they took mobile network, airplane and silent mode out of the power menu.

Thats a good point. I love CM myself, been a long time fan.

I've been using the rooted leak version for about 24 hours now, moving from an EVO based mod. The new one is definitely zippier, even on scrolling, etc. I'll keep using it, but looking forward to new custom builds once the source is out and modders get their hands on this kernel.

Well, this wasn't supposed to be as big a thing compared to when FroYo was released. Expectations of that magnitude for this release were not realistic.
Differences aren't visual per se, rather just a few functional ones.
All in all, gingerbread, meh.....

For me, it's a few things.
Feels unfinished. What I mean is some things are not what i expected. For example, i use google talk alot and with Froyo, the icon in the bar was a Sense based one. Now it's just Google Talk. This is fine, but i have to ask - was this on purpose? or a slip up?
next, I don't like NOT being able to disable ALL animations. In froyo, i could turn off the clock animations, weather ones and even the OS ones. I like that. In this one, I can't... only OS.
I have a had a few FC's with google voice setup (cleared up once configured) and Scrabble rarely notifies me of a move, but those could be app related.
battery life remains to be seen since I need to charge my phone all the way up while powered off.

it's definitely quick, but it took like 5 minutes before I started missing Synergy. Looking forward to seeing what can be done with the update.

It's a nice temporary fix for my ocd rom flashing but i think devs and most others are waiting for the final ota with some bug fixes. Isn't this lacking the new radio as well? Otherwise I am really happy it looks like they fixed the low space /data/data notification.
If we are lucky the devs will pump out some amazing roms for us that are stable and fast. Just gimme pulldown widgets, 5-row apps, recent apps in notification, and remapped rosie buttons and i'm set!

The ones posted in this forum are missing the radio but that is because the source that gave it to our devs asked that they not include the radio when they compiled and uploaded the rom. For what reason? Who knows....

I think the update should've added sense 2.1..

I miss power toggle pull downs and right rosie, but other than that, everything for me just works and works fast. If someone can add some 2.1 features, that would be nice. Been on this since it came out, zero issues, zero lag. I use my phone for business with some music, dont install more than zbout 4 apps. Everything flies. Look at it this way, if no other roms could ever have been ported over, is this a good update from when you first got your dinc? I say hell yes. The ports are great, im not baggin cause ive flashed every rom here, but this was made for our phone. Could it have had 2.1, sure, would it have worked as good, i doubt it. All ports have some issues, all be it very minor, but they also develop lag and more issues the longer you use them. Im willin to wait a week and see what happens, im sure we will see a different ota eventally, fat lady aint singin yet.

curious about battery life
I've been using miui and have been getting good battery life. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the new ginger

All I could think about was how ridiculously fast Sense 1.0 would be on any Gingerbread ROM.
If i were a dev I would definitely be cooking up a clean, streamlined, unbelievably fast Sense 1.0 ROM for users who don't need what 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 have to offer.
That being said, as far as the OTA goes... We'll see?

I like the speed of this OTA, too. It's very snappy. But I'm having a problem with voice input recognizing speech. Is this a problem for anyone else?

I was using bluetooth and I said open calender and it would randomly pick a number to call from my contacts.

It's a problem with GB in general. Try using voice search while driving and you can scream in the mic until you're blue in the face. It won't recognize anything you say.

Is that just for GB Sense based roms? I have never had a problem with voice input on CM7.

It might be a combo of things. All I know is it worked perfectly for me on Froyo.

It was fun to try it out and it's fast, but I went back to Community RC5. I won't be looking back, im sure OVO will rip whatever is good and stick it in community.
