Hi,
i developed an app ("my days") and it works in the emulator also on my g1 and for quit a lot of users.
now i got a mail from a "HTC HERO" User and he say the app crash from the beginning. (an earlier version worked for him... the new version include widgets and mass of new features, so i dont know where to start searching)
So what could be the prob, whats the different. It makes me quit unhappy, i thought android is compatible to all android devices.
Any ideas?

HTC Hero is not a released phone yet, and tell him to not complain about using unreleased alpha code on his phone.
I do apologize, it was not my intent for this to seem as "complaining", it was only something that occurred and I was wondering if anybody else had run across this issue.
I fully understand that this is a pre build.
But how is anything ever going to get solved if issues are not brought forward.
Paul
thanks
yes.. it looks he used a alpha version or so.. thanks for your reply... i just thought to come crazy.
he answered:
"
so I found out what the issue is and I do appoligise that this was my issue. I ran a program that takes and converts the apk's stored on the apps folder to odex files and the issue is that when I did the update it replaced the apk file but left the odex file and that must have caused the conflict. I removed the odex file and the apk file then reinstalled the v.8 version and all is good.
I do appoligize, I should have done some more research on my end.
"
so finaly it looks he knows a bit about android rooted phones (maybe more than me so may you tell me in short what does this odex stuff is?
greets

odex = optimized dexopt-wrapper, it's supposed to make the phone/apps run faster, especially on appstosd.
ok thanks... even i guess for a simple coder like me i can not really have an advantage from it (from a point of an unrooted user/developer).. or just to learn something new?
because to makes apps run faster.. for sure i am always interested in
Looking for some advice here. Been pretty much switching roms for a month straight trying to find the one that fits all my needs. Plus its fun to flash, its like getting a present everyday . well onto my frustration.
I have a mytouch 3g, so I come to the dream boards cause of the action that this forum gets for 32b's versus the magic forums.
The perfect rom for me would be Super D's latest. My only issue is I want to play 3d games, and nearly all the roms here have the ram hack.
I wonder if there would be enough people that wanted a no ram hack version of his rom, to donate to the cause.
I hope this post gets some attention here, I didnt want to clutter is rom thread for a non bug issue.
The ramhack is in the kernel. You can either build your own kernel without it, or switch out the kernel for one that better suits your needs.
is that hard to do? Can you point me in the direction of where to search for info on switching kernels. I was using king's 2.1 rom and he has a no ram hack kernel, but I soppose it wont work for a 1.6 rom.
sorry for my noobness, I have limited knowlege when it comes to this type of stuff.
Thanks for your reply.
It's all in the boot.img file. Open a rom zip file and you will see the boot.img, that is the kernel.
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img (or whatever location and name you give the file) is the command to use. Terminal or adb shell works too.
It would have probably been easier to ask in the rom thread because most developers customize the kernel so a generic might not work as well as the one already in the package.
k. so if I have got this straight.
I notice that the last wes garner 1.6 rom has a no ram hack version. i flashed it and played a 3d game. its works ok for me.
So i can open up his rom, take out his boot image, put it into a zip file, then flash it right after i flash a super d rom?

To an extent yes but as evilkorn mentioned pretty much all devs customize the kernel so it may not run as efficiently or unforeseen consequences may occur then again it could work all fine and dandy. Are 3d games really that unplayable with the ram hack? I play RoboDefense all the time with no probs.
robo playes fine, homerun battle 3d, "which is a awesome game btw" doesnt play on a rom with the 3d hack. I flashed wes garners last 1.6 without the ram hack and it played fine.
I might just stick with this rom for a bit i guess, I really like playing games on my phone.

has listed that a new v5 update is coming on the 21st of July that has a bunch of fixes. But there is no way to download it . anyone have any idea where I can get a ROM that i can use daily. PREFERABLY stock 2.1 or 2.2 but whatever is stable and ready for daily use will do. Thank you all for your answers ahead of time. REALLY want to get rid of my iPhone and get an HD2
I have read something that there is an Energy Droid ROM that NRGZ28 dropped but cant find it or his directions. There is way too many posts and threads here to find things sometimes.

Just scroll down. The link is in the V4 section. It says "download"...
Well I should have asked, are the UK dl and the twitter Dl links just SD run roms or do they fully take over the hd2 and run alone wiping winmo? I'm not interested in dual boot. serves no purpose in my opinion.
None wipe WinMO at this point. The twitter links are generally patches for developers or anyone who wants to experiment with the version theyve downloaded. Best you can do at this point is donate to the developers suport, time, and money and they will be done soon.

Thanks. I just can't see dual booting. I'll wait like everyone else. Thanks for the reply.
If anybody would bother reading, what NRGZ28 has posted, or the readme in the download ..
From Readme By NRGZ28
This package is a combination of a minimal WM ROM made by me (NRGZ28) and the latest "Desire" V4 Android build for the HD2 made by Cotulla! More info can be found here http://gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html
In order to run this on your HD2, you have to copy THREE files to the root folder of a storage card and insert it in the device. YOU CANNOT RUN THIS WITHOUT A STORAGE CARD. If the OS detect no storage card, it will shut down automatically. Now...
Copy "data.img","rootfs.img" and "system.sqsh" found in the 7z archive, to the ROOT of your storage card.
These files require about 400 MBytes, so make sure you have at least that much available on the card. A class 4 or Class 6 card is recommended for best performance.
If you find that you don't like this ROM and want to get back to your regular Windows Mobile ROM, turn the phone off (press the End key inside Android or simply pull the battery) and hold the "Volume Down" key on the side of the phone, as you're turning it on with the red power key. It will bring you to the multi colored bootloader screen, where you can plug in your cable and flash your favorite ROM.
1. Sugggestions
- Choose the HTC Sense interface on startup when you're asked what you want to run. It runs better.
- Go to Settings / Wireless & Networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Names and push the "windows" key on the device to get the menu to pop out. Here you can add the access point for your provider. For example, it's "wap.voicestream.com" for TMobile USA. You can look this up easily on XDA. This is a required step to get DATA services in Android.
- The "windows" key is your menu key in android.
Enjoy and be sure to thank Cotulla for his hard work on this !!

Ya thats all I could find, what you just posted.
Don't expect to see a stable daily use ROM any time soon. Try looking around at the other devices that have Android ported for the last year. Do they have a flashable ROM ? Nope........! Don't expect one for the HD2 anytime soon. If you want Droid as an every day OS go get an Android phone. That's really your only solution.
Does the new Desire build have to have the newest zImage also?
Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to connect your phone to your PC in Desire v5. You don't get the "Mount phone" option in the notification area.
Also, native camera app doesn't work, as it forces you to use the optical trackball to take a pic, but HD2 doesn't have optical trackpad. CameraMagic works fine though.

Ditto. I can't seem to get to gamesquare's website either...
internet not working.....
how do i get the internet and my voice calls to work properly.....I have android up and working, just having those 2 issues
Here we go. I DL'ed the zip, and unzipped it. I do not see a ROM to install? I was under the impression that this would install a basic ROM + Everything needed to run Android (except I have to copy the 3 files to the SD). Does it not. Do I have to install a basic ROM myself first, and if so, how do I then make this Android work on boot?
Anyone? Maybe fast help? (I'm leaving work soon and wanted to do it before)...
I cant seem to get any roms to load; when i choose a rom the screen goes blank for a second and then goes back to the rom selection menu. Yes I have tried many many different roms and bios files. and Yes i did have them in the right format. running CM6 test 8. Anybody have any idea what the problem is?
the problem is it is a known fact that psx4droid doesnt work on test 8... try a different rom and try again

I have also tired many different roms same thing happens with all of them.
same here. Only ones I've been able to get "working":
- FF7: runs perfectly
- Tekken3: runs, but very slow
- Metal Gear Solid: boots up the main menu, but nothing after that
- Silent Hill: graphics a lil buggy, stops working after needing to load a new scene
try loading the new leaked 08/01/10 rom, i tried that and it runs fine on mine... eboot pbp roms seem to run a little bit faster than other filetypes.

PSX4DROID is NOT compatible with Cyanogenmod-6 Test builds (This will likely be fix in future builds).
I've installed many different ROMS, the only ones that work is Cyanogenmod-6 Nightly builds.
But I stopped using Cyanogenmod-6 for HTC Incredible since Test#8 and since nightly build 7-28-10.
I love the idea that you can use the Wii remote controller to control the emulators, but in its current state, it's too buggy.
Switching to the leaked froyo (leaked on 8/1/10) is probably best, if you don't care for the option to use the Wii remote controller as a bluetooth device.

Which nightly build worked for you i tried the newest build but still no luck; does the froyo 8-1-10 leak change the radio at all? can i just flash that rom like i would with any other?

Yeah, you'll need to update your radio. Therefore, your Baseband version will be upgraded to 2.05.00.06.11.
Regarding the nightly build, I believe the last one I used was 7-27-10. (From: http://droidfiend.com/roms/htc-incredible/cyanogenmod-6/ OR http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/inc/)
Did you make sure that your PSX4DROID has a BIOS file?

Since you did not mention anything about keeping Bluetooth controller support, I suggest upgrading to the leaked OTA (Froyo ROM). Which would mean updating your radio...
OR, wait a bit cuz HTC is planning to release the official Froyo update but you gottta be careful with that as it will unroot your phone.
The problem is that we're talking about two different ROMs here. The people that are saying use a different ROM are talking about the build on your phone. PSX4Droid doesn't work with CM6 yet.
Try SkyRaider or the 8/1 Leak.
PSX4Droid works well on the 8-1 leak. You shouldn't run it without updating your radio first, though.
Also, if you use a ZeeMote or an MSI BGP100, you can use a bluetooth remote with an HTC Sense phone. You just only have those two choices. Drivers are available in the market. It's called GamePro.

Well, use the latest(first in list) htc-msm-linux. After the download completes, copy and rename zImage**** to zImage(replace the old zImage) the modules don't need rename, just delete the old modules. I've already posted that in the gingerbread thread, you can read it, take a look at the video, you will like it, I like it
more than FROYO X (I'm talking about the Gingerbread)

There is something you mess up! Mine runs with Launcher Pro
Gingerbread is much better than froyo in general, but as I say there is a lot of work to do (the developers)!

I'll tell you how I'm doing it. I've just downloaded the gingerbread image, I used to boot it
with the pack(haret+startup) of froyo x, and I've updated the kernel, and modules ofcourse, and rootfs optionally! And it works for me.
BTW, try to put the device into 'Airplane Mode' and tell us if it freezes.
I'm really tired now, I'm coming back from work, so bye!

Read that thread and follow the instructions there.
If you cant solve it with those instructions your are much more likely to get an answer from someone with experience with the build or even the creator of the build. Any complaint of a crash or nonstart should come hand in hand with a log.
