I dont know what going on but a bunch of apps are showing up in the market that were not there. Some background, Im using the unofficial MoDaCo 1.2 with a modified build prop. updated with MR info. Just checked the market and bust-a-move and Pic Say Pro are now back the market.
Anyone else having apps show up in the market?
That's a negative good buddy. Still no sign of SU File Manager 3.0.6. Yep I paid for it and it's gone along with a few of the TTS engines I paid for.
Not there yet for me.
eBuddy's not back on either
That's because the developers probably turned off copy-protection on the app but the issue hasn't been fixed.
just upgraded to modaco 1.2...and yes, i was missing a paid app (droidlive), but it has now reappeared.
also, for anyone interested, playing media via bluetooth speakers works perfectly on this ROM
Yea he did it by putting the old props file back in so it has the phone identify to the market that it's still version 1.26. I had mentioned in a few threads that I could add that to fresh rom if needed but wanted to see if Google/Sprint would fix the issue rather than tricking it in to something it wasn't. Although I've had multiple reports from people using Fresh that the apps were showing up for them even without a modified props.
I'm not sure yet. But maybe I'll put a modified one in mine also. I don't see how it could possibly affect it, but I wonder if that is some how related to the bluetooth speakers too? I'll check it out.

I can't see how. I can confirm that stock sprint rom with MR update Bluetooth works normally. I ran your 0.4 and saw the BT audio streaming issues.
For the last couple of days I've been trying to get Eclair 3D acceleration running on 32A with old radio. I was somehow succesful so I decided to release one Sense based ROM port and one "plain" Eclair. I had succes with other ROMs though (not all of them, but a few). Edit March 2nd - It now seems that it works on 32B/G1 as well, so I've added the porting package for those phones, see below.
This ROM is highly experimental! So bear that in mind. The only testing I've done is here on my own Magic - I am not using any ext3/ext4 partition for app2sd, for example, so I'm not sure how it behaves if you use one.
I've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files and mixed in a few files from other Eclair ROMs to get a few things working. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.
Thanks to:
ahmgsk (obviously), Kingclick, Cyanogen and all the other devs working on his kernel source, Amon_RA, all OpenEclair devs, polyrhytmic, dzo, vilord and many others.
What seems to work:
- 3D acceleration seems to work fine. I can get about 20fps in Neocore benchmark. I've also tested Radiant, Armadillo Roll and iDracula and they all seem to work. 3D Gallery works as well.
- Multitouch works
- Camera works, mostly - no video recording, though. If you take picture, it shows a garbled screen for a moment, but the picture itself is taken just fine.
- GPS and accelerometer work
- LED notifications work, all colors
- Bluetooth MIGHT work, needs testing. But you can enable it.
- Google Sync seems to work just fine
What seems not to work:
- YouTube and video playback in gallery doesn't work at all for now. Sorry.
Known Issues:
- Rather slow on startup. Give it time to start up fully, even after you see the home screen. You may even get a few "App not responding - FC/Wait?" warnings - just click on Wait and give it more time. But after it starts, it seems pretty fast to me. It's no SuperD, but still quite fast, I'd say.
- Live wallpapers are problematic and I'd recommend staying away from them. Some work (not very fast, though), some don't.
- Launcher 2 is problematic. I've kept it in the ROM and it certainly looks nice, but I've had all sorts of problems when I had it enabled, including long phone freezes, terrible lag in applications and other. I'd HIGHLY recommend just using the "normal" launcher (it's "Nexus style" anyway).
Note:
Take this port "as is" 'cause I probably won't support it much. I think of it more as a "proof of concept" that seemed too cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on it much these days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

I will check it inmediatly...
but this driver 3d not work on magic 32b??Why not come out yet for the ROM 32b?
It might, as I don't think the solution here is specific to 32A. I'll maybe try to make a 32B kernel soon and let someone test it. Right now, I've yet to hear about this working for someone else on 32A other than me
Im flashing it ATM.
Give me a few minutes
ok when you relase a 32b Kernel,Warn
Well, i flashed it.
You're right, 3D is working
I tried it with SpeedX and Hyper Space, and they both are working. Not as fast as it would on a donut based rom (looks like the frame rate is a little lower) but they are absolutely working.
Launcher2 is still a bit laggy.
Some Live Wallpapers aren't working, they forced the phone to restart.
The gallery is working.
There are some bugs (like pressing the home button while in an app, will sometimes block my phone) that forced me to remove the battery.
This rom is not working enough for a daily use, but you did a great job.
Waiting for a bug fix Imma try the hero port now
Good to know, thanks!
BTW, as I've mentioned in the first post, I don't recommend using Launcher 2, it causes all sorts of weird issues with this ROM. And I also mention that live wallpapers are problematic and you should just stay away from them
Oh, and as for the framerates in 3D - in my experience they're actually slightly higher on average than with my own SuperD port I'm now using as a day-to-day ROM (I miss Sense UI, but 1.5 is starting to lag behind on all the interesting stuff, so...).
Case_ thx for working on this
i could not work becoz my tester was on new radio
i hope u get my hero 2.1 working too
From what I gather, this is a KERNEL modification that makes the HERO drivers work with this "old radio", correct?
Could you please provide the kernel diff (patch)?
ahmgsk: You're welcome. I'm always somehow uneasy as to what the reaction of the original dev would be when I'm using and perhaps modifying someone else's work, so thanks for this
I'll try to follow the progress of most Eclair ROMs but I'm gonna be quite busy for at least the next week or so, so no promises on any other updates or more ports (but I'd LOVE to have a reliable Sense UI ROM with Android 1.6 or higher, I can tell you that - Kinglick's Eclair Hero is close, but still not close enough to rely on it on day-to-day basis). I'm glad I managed to at least steal the weekend for Android for once and got this working, more or less.
lbcoder: Actually, there's really not much to patch. I've spent countless hours trying to port parts of the Kaiser kernel as discussed in one of the G1 forum threads, yet in the end I've ended up using pretty much just the plain vanilla Cyanogen Eclair kernel sources with only the camera code backported from the Donut sources to get the camera working (but I can certainly provide some kind of diff if need be).
Then there's the permission problem with /dev/msm_hw3dc and /dev/msm_hw3dm that on most Eclair ROMs needs fixing (chmod 666 and chmod 660 in init.rc, respectively).
And then it might or might not be an issue with the contents of /system/lib/egl and /system/lib/hw (and perhaps some other libs as well) which, I'm sorry to say, I've yet to fully test. Those from ahmgsk's AME Eclair seem to work, but looks to me like it's not exclusively just those, that it might work with some others as well. I know it's not very professional (but I've said it many times, I'm no dev and certainly no coder, I'm just determined and persistent ), but I honestly didn't have time to test those different libraries fully, sorry. I was just trying to get something as usable as possible and share it with others so they may perhaps investigate further. Though it somehow amazes me that I of all people got it working when there's so many people with coding and Android knowledge WAY beyond my own here (which is not that hard to achieve, anyway)

i hav no problem when u use my rom
its no probs -> but i m glad 32A (old radio) users are getting this. i m working on hero rom i think i can try to get everything working
for now videos and all are working
now some widgets n network is remaining (mostly solved) v2 coming soon
YouTube and video playback in gallery doesn't work at all
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why? I remember in the original ahmgsk 's ROM they are working as well...
What has been changed from the old to the new Radio/SPL to break the YouTube/Gallery video playback?
As for the "why?", that's a very good question I'd really like to know the answer to.
As for "what has changed" - the kernel has changed (had to for the ROM to work with the old radio) and with it all the "drivers". I'm not happy that YouTube and video doesn't work, but I don't have much time to investigate further right now. And until now, neither did Eclair 3D acceleration with the old radio, so I guess it's still progress.
I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually.
Added links for 32B/G1 porting package. Yes, 3D really seems to work on those phones as well.
how do I apply the 32B patch?
just replace the files with the once from teh original zip file , repack it, and then apply the new zip?

?????????????????????????????????????????
I guess I figured it out,
download both zip files, apply zip one, then apply the 2nd one other the other.
replacing files wont work because of the files within the "META-INF" folder
[DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ATTEMPT THIS ON AN ECLAIR ROM. IT WILL BOOTLOOP. THIS ONLY WORKS ON DONUT ROMS]
Ok, first of all this is VERY experimental and it is not recommended that you keep this hack on your phone permanently. It is merely a Proof Of Concept at the moment.
What is it?
This is an edited file that you push to your phone and when activated, it allows the Headset to read from the AudioFilter.csv. The AudioFilter.csv contains an editable EQ and Compressor.
Why should i do this?
Why not? It can make your Headset sound better and, more importantly, louder. (Yes, it has my Headset Boost built in!)
How do i do it then?
Go to my downloads section and download my Equaliser.apk and either of the 2 EQ 'packages'. You must have a basic understanding of how to push my files manually.
Once they're on your phone, load up your music app and enjoy! The sound quality wont be amazing at the moment but if you want to see just how much it can be changed try pushing v6r2. It sounds absolutely terrible!
so...
Before we begin, things you need:
- A Rooted Phone
- A Rooted Phone running any DONUT ROM. [DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ATTEMPT THIS ON AN ECLAIR ROM. IT WILL BOOTLOOP]
- My application and/or knowledge of how to push my mods manually.
- DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
TURN YOUR MEDIA VOLUME DOWN BEFORE YOU APPLY THIS HACK
INSTRUCTIONS
- Firstly, download my Equaliser.apk and install it on your phone
- Open up the application and select 'Always Allow' when it asks for SU permissions.
- Click the 'BACKUP FILES' button. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
- Next turn your media volume down. seriously.
- Now the fun part, click 'HACK MY AUDIO!'
- Once that's completed, open up my Louder Volume Hack application (you can buy it from the market) and push v6r2. (or push the files manually, both work fine. don't forget to restart the mediaserver.)
- Enjoy!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...it sounds terrible doesn't it? V6r2 is a nice example of how extreme we can get the EQ (we can make it much worse than that too).
I've prepared 2 sets of files for you 'BASSY' and 'QUALITY'. I'll leave it up to you to determine what they sound like
Both are available in my Downloads section.
How to apply my files manually
If you would like to push the Heaset EQ file manually, instead of using the pre-made application, download the attached libaudio.zip, extract the libaudio.so file and push it to 'system/lib' then do 'killall mediaserver'
EDIT: Added some pre-made files for you guys to try out.
Once you have the libaudio.so in place, all you have to do is push both files in the .zip to system/etc then do a 'killall mediaserver' from the terminal!
Enjoy!
[reserved for future use]
Sounds interesting(lol). Gonna try it out later.
Appreciate your work on this!
nice!
So glad to see you moving forward with the editable EQ idea! I'm currently running openeclair so I won't be able to participate in betatesting. However, if BT remains broken for much longer I may go back to donut, If I do I'll be sure to help in whatever way I can.
Once again, great job Meltus!

Hey Meltus it works on Eclair just have to push your backup before rebooting each time XD
Oh wow... I'm really excited about this. All this time I was waiting for someone to incorporate it into media player... and here comes Meltus and just builds a stand-alone app! Awesome!!!! BRB.... gotta test me some EQ files

Really? I assumed the files would be different. I'll test this out later.
Sorry the EQ app is pretty bare at the moment, i'll be adding in the EQ settings to it soon
By the way, these settings will now be system wide, so they should affect the BT headset too! (not been tested)

XD yeah seemed to work when I used it on Eclair just that it bootlooped I was using Eclair when I tested it for you XD so decided that backing up and then pushing before rebooting each time might fix it and it seemed to work
meltus, you're amazing! coming through once again. I've been following your threads ever since the first audio hack that you released. so I pushed libaudio.so and I pushed the "bass.zip" files from your androidaudiohacks.com download section. the EQ settings on this are amazing, exactly what I've been looking for! AHHH! THANK YOU!!! audio sounds so much better in my car. I can actually put my subs to use now! so much low-end, muahahahaha
has killall mediaserver always worked to reset the .csv files when you replace them? or is that the change that you made to libaudio.so? always hated having to reboot to test new audio settings.

I tried using this on CursorSense 1.2.6.1 and if i use the included audiolib file my phone does not boot. Will this hack work without it on a cupcake ROM?

It has only been tested on Donut Roms so i wouldn't be able to say.
I will be doing more tests and improving at time goes on but i'm having a little break at the moment
There should be no reason for this not to work on cupcake but like i said, it hasn't been tested.
Even if it isn't fully compatible, you should be able to push the file to phone and run the EQ hack whilst it's running and then push your backup if you want to reboot. It seems to be the same on Eclair ROMs.
I tried doing that but the minute I open any music application the phone freezes be it HTC Music or RockOn

I'll compile the cupcake source tomorrow and see if the file is different.
Thanks, hopefully you find the problem and can't wait for your graphic equalizer
edit: Couldn't wait for a cupcake compatible version so I flashed the latest Cyanogen ROM, and all I can say is great work, listening to music on my phone is no longer a nuisance. At first I tried your bass file but I found it a bit flat (basshead) so I made my own (I'll attach it for others). Also could you explain some of the compressor settings?
neat little app. now we just need a number of preset EQ profiles to apply and/or a graphic equalizer.

Don't worry, it's on its way
i know guys, im horrible. lol. i said i was done porting. but i had a little time to spare and just couldnt help myself. this runs pretty well, on par with shelnutt2's cm10 nightlies, just has camera added and some other stuff.
now based off of jb, mongoosehelix projected p2 will be out this weekend, so maybe ill find time to get it ported.
changelog:
eligo-3.0.0p1: 8/26/2012
initial upload
camera works about like ics
k guys
if you try this rom, expect some level of bad juju. i guaruntee some things will not work right. but if you ask me to fix it i will try my hardest to do so.
to start, im not gifted enough to know how to develop, im just a lowly borrower, so if i have nothing to borrow, i have nothing to offer
also i take no responsibility for your phone crashing and burning in an epic fashion, and/or if your cat jumps off your keyboard and makes your coffee spill on your lap, or war, or famine, or disease, or anything of the sort. try at your own risk, dont bother me if your phone blows up
dont give me any credit, give the following people mad props and donate to them if you wish to:
mongoosehelix and all the crew over at the eris forums and evervolv for the rom
dsixda and his kitchen
shelnutt2
anyone else that helped that i may have forgot
im sure i forgot people, im sorry if i did and if i forgot you please yell at me and ill make sure to thank you
this is based off of 4.1.1, evervolv eligo 3.0.0p1 for the eris
what works:
touchscreen
sdcard
radio (data and calls)
adb
camera preview and taking pics
bigger keyboard, more like gb
wifi
buttons
audio
root
vibration
bluetooth
usb mass storage
minfrees set in kernel at boot time
mms hopefully
gps seems to lock on
try messing with camera settings in camera app, i turned down the resolution from 5 mp to UXGA and picture taking worked quicker and looked better in my opinion
works with problems:
camcorder (displays preview but i cant get it to record)
bluetooth
audio, comes out of speaker but not 3.5mm audio jack
other stuff im sure
what i didnt test: (lol its your jobs to test it)
pretty much everything else
when you flash this, remember i did not sign it, so if your using clockworkmod recovery toggle signature verification
i turn off all vibration, except for notifications, that includes the keyboard as haptic feedback slows things down.
jb gapps ~17mb: http://www.mediafire.com/?p5cl09j6bqfdo1d
edit: changed gapps, ripped out stuff that slows down the rom, no functionality hit
go into phone app, hit menu, then settings, and check your voicemail number, im on boost so mine is my phone number
this port will not:
most likely be a finished project
win a beauty contest
make your manhood bigger
if you see something wrong, please fix it or ask me to
and now for the link before i forget:
Eligo-3.0.0p1
http://www.mediafire.com/?vzuhrrc1ledxmp4
Eligorom 2.2.0b1-2 ICS (old, not supported anymore)
http://www.mediafire.com/?3aumitqaqzkalf8
happy flashing!
gonna repurpose this post
things to accomplish
keep up with updates from shelnutt2 and mongoosehelix.
if you would like to see something added to this to-do list, please post it
Update .zip would be nice, also noticed that the device is still Eris, not sure if you meant for it to be or not.

Many thanks! Also before I flash back, how might I get mms to work? That is the sole reason I don't use this as a daily rom now.

hey shakes im working on a fix for mms now
you might have to be my guinea pig though lol so make sure to nandroid before you do any of the stuff to your phone, i dont use mms so i cant tell you if it works
i do see the problem, and it lies in the fact that this was made to be a verizon rom, but a quick fix/replace of /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db should do the trick
shakes, go ahead and flash the update zip attached to the first post
please let me know if it works or not, if not ill keep trying, but hopefully its just fixed
Alright, also the update file is actually incorrect, I didn't know it was an update until you posted that... you put the oom file on that post.
update.zip added to first post, its a roll up of all the updates ive added since release
shakes did you try installing the rom and the update.zip? did mms work? please let us know of your findings, that would be absolutely awesome if it just worked, another thing i can check off my to-do list
So, findings: I cannot read, didn't realize the oom file was the update. Flashed that and the mms fix, mms works now but won't download in stock app... Also noticed camera won't focus, not sure if that can be fixed or not. And finally, if I remember correctly the task switcher preview isn't normally zoomed in? Just glad it's working finally, but something to look into if you have time.

I can't seem to get this to boot, what recovery and gapps should I be using? Currently on cwm 4.0.1.4, I flash rom, flash gapps, flash update.zip and boot. Sits at evervolv boot animation for a long time and never boots in. Left it sitting for an hour and still no boot...
hey goliath
sorry to hear you cant get this to boot. i use the stock recovery from Rom Manager, its 2.5.0.7 . ive never used the 4 versions. are you on the newest sprint radio? (2.42.02.10.29) older radios have stopped me from being able to boot cm 7 in the past, could be the issue with yours. also toggle "signature verification" in cwmod recovery as i have not signed my rom or updates. first boot does take a few extra minutes, but an hour is too long, something definitely is rotten in denmark. as far as gapps i use this one: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
but i delete the gallery app after install as it just displays black boxes, i use quickpic instead
ill do whatever i can and whatever it takes to get you successfully booting.
shakes,
i have another test for you. im attaching a file called "mmsfix2.zip" to this post that will replace your mms.apk with one from the heroc evervolv rom, and hopefully that should make it so you get the messages in the stock app. as far as holding home for previews, im not sure why they are zoomed but as soon as i figure it out expect an update. if this mms.apk switch works, ill add it to the update.zip attached to the first post.
with camera, unfortunately some things wont work yet. stritfajt posted his camera fix and theres nothing more i can do unless he figures more out, but hes a smart guy and im sure in short time things will be all figured out with it.
Thank you, do you have any screenshots before i try this out?

hey postal psycho
the radio i use is attached to this post, if you need to just flash it through clockworkmod recovery, you can try to load eligorom with the radio you have right now, but if it doesnt boot then im pretty sure its the radio version, no need to flash back to stock and update prl
i suggest if you like the rom your on right now, nandroid backup. just in case.
i dont have any screenshots to upload, but if you check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352170

dude, you didn't have to give me any props, though it is very nice for you. I am like you, a guy who tries to help out the Hero community not to die. I'm not a developer thought but I know a few things here and there. The rom at your brother 'hero gsm' is a WIP (work in progress) but right now its almost stalling because we wait for 4.0.5 sources to come out. I've made a 4.0.4 build with all the modifications but after flashing I was amazed to see how slow it is moving. Almost impossible to use! So right now we don't want to jump on the bandwagon of 4.0.4 since it is worse than what we have and we heard some rumors that 4.0.5 should be even more faster than 4.0.3.
I hope you get more testers for this, I see that there are only a couple of people who have flashed it.
Be sure to send me a PM in case you need any infos. Oh, and minfree values don't stick at boot (as you said), we don't have any idea why. The script is good, it has the correct format but after the boot cycle, the rom takes the old minfree values.
one more thing, scripts are working fine in 4.0.4, just be sure to use Notepad++ when edit them. And change the text format to UNIX not DOS/Windows (from Edit - EOL conversions tab - UNIX).
hey nukeboy glad to hear you like it
1ceb0x, hey i gotta give credit where credits due. i studied the scripts you guys have for a few days before porting this rom, and wouldnt have known anything about them if it werent for you guys. your ics rom over there at the gsm side runs like a champ on hero cdma, but im kinda stalled in the port because i cant get sdcard to mount the right way, so thats why i went with eris.
would you happen to know why sdcard prepares, mounts, and then says ok to remove? thats the only thing stalling the port of 4.0.3 herogsm. i have a feeling its a difference in how cdma and gsm mounts the sd card, but cant find the cause.
The audio effect settings are now hidden in the Play Music app. I disable the app, since use Amazon for downloads (no device restrictions) and Poweramp for music. None the less, you can still access the audio effect settings, even if Play Music is disabled.
It is the same audio effect settings and appears to still be global. If it were linked to the Play Music app, I should not be able to mess with settings when the Play Music app is disabled, but I can. I created a shortcut to the Audio Effects with QuickShortcut (handy app!).
Audio Effects are accessible with the QuickShortcut app, so no need for the Play Music app.
That's just equalizer it was always there , on 5.0 sound effects was gone and put back. All you do is disable default EQ app.

It only works on supported apps.

Unless you use viper 4 Android under normal mode.

The equalizers came back after the new play music update.
The Audio Effects were located in the sound page of settings (at the top). They are gone now, but can still be accessed as noted above and without Play Music active (I don't use it).
Testing Youtube and other apps. it sounds like the settings are global (for what I checked), as they were prior to the super great amazing fantastic MM update. All of those adjectives are sarcastic, since I see no improvements but do notice the EQ setting missing from where they were and connecting to a PC went from simple fast connection, to a sporadic pain sometimes.
No, it isn't global anymore.. please test further.
Also the left and right channel doesn't switch anymore when rotating in landscape.. check for right/left channel tests in Youtube.

yes, this. why in the HELL would they remove that? did people seriously complain that they thought this was a glitch? wouldn't surprise me, since most people are dumb lol. this annoys the piss out of me.

Maybe if they'd done it correctly from the start -- meaning with no gap in playback, or at the very least a crossfade between channels -- no one would have complained and it could've stayed.
Marshmallow seems to have broken eq. I cannot get audio effects or market equalizer to do anything more than placebo eq. Even some apps with built-in eq have their eq break. . Bluetooth, any way. Yet, to test over eat buds.

You can also see at a glance the eq of audio effects is pathetic, if it happened to work. . In real world, there is a huge need for huge adjustments in ear buds, speakers, environments. . The variation of sound setup is huge. .
Not to mention BBE or other clarification effects. Which is essential, on top of eq.
Workaround
Now that we know that this doesn't work, (and probably isn't going to be a priority to fix in the next software update, given Lenovo's haphazard nature of releasing broken patches) what's the best workaround? Can Viper4Android be used with the stock, rooted Rom? Or can this blunder only be fixed with a custom Rom?

Viper works fine on stock. I highly recommend Arise audio (Viper is included).
Success!

It's interesting that you mention that because I had literally just discovered A.R.I.S.E. and installed it not even two hours before you posted . Thankfully, I can report that it does appear to be working brilliantly on the stock ROM when using the "Leviticus 1.3" version. :fingers-crossed:
I'll report back if I discover any issues, but so far, it looks good!

Cool! I've been using Arise since they started. Fantastic group of developers. Super nice and helpful. There are tons of options, but it can be simple as well. I'd recommend the newer Deuteronomy builds, but they're all really good. Any questions, just ask in the arise thread. Fyi there are a few incompatible versions. It'll show itself trying to take video and it'll stop with an error message that says that something else is using the mic.

I do remember seeing something like that when reading through the threads, but let me check this version real quick...
Phew! Video recording is working! Crisis averted. Is there anything else to watch for with these audio tweaks?

Obviously with Viper processing, battery drain will be a bit more. Otherwise just enjoy the music.

Will do . I assume the additional processing required would be comparable to what I experience right now with the Note2 and equalizer found inside of S-Tweaks. Hopefully not when it's sleeping and not playing any sound though.
solved.
Go to apps in settings, scroll to default equalizer ( in my case sound alive). Disable that and then go to music app (eg spotify) and then go to the equalizer settings and it will come up with your own equalizer app (eg V4A)
