i'm sorry if you already explained that somewhere....but how do you do that exactly?

edit: like this: http://androidforums.com/hero-all-th...g-lcd-dpi.html ?? can't try it now....have to go to the university...but will try it later today...

and do you have any idea what the issue with the reboots could be? can i do something to help find the issue?

and something else: do you think, that hardware acceleration will ever be possible on the hero?

I just updated with a fix for the touchscreen! It works now, but the pointer is still shown when you press the screen (small problem).
how did you fix the touchscreen?

I tried something else again, but the connection to my carrier still buggs the phone out.. unless I remove the phone.apk.. but that will remove data to. BTW I do not have data when I leave the phone.apk. it says it has, on the lockscreen. But in fact I do not have it Wifi works fine and all that stuff but mobile data and mobile connection is a no go. The lib hack did get my phone connected but now it still reboots like crazy. And well the error stays the same. process phone dies and when it tries to restart it, well the phone hangs and then reboots.... I will try to post a full logcat when I get to it. but that darn thing fills so darn fast after the crash..

Ok just had an idea but when I get back to my laptop I will check it. Maybe it has something to do with some left over data from my old rom?? Just thinking out loud here. Will check it out later. but I do not think that it is the case actually.

Thumbs up ICS test

Ok, just gave this thing a go. Phone calls working perfectly, although I must have ended dozen calls accidentally by pressing phone against cheek , so you might want to end up with something clever here . Messaging also working and very fast to. New web browser just rocks, speed is amazing. Speakers not working for notifications as you already know, but working fine if I play something through a music player. Handsfree doesn't work no mattter what I try. Never succeded to start market, after entering my email address and password it just hangs "comunicating" with servers and after a while ist says yhat I don't have connection. Also flashed htc_ime_mod and while input is working I can't seem to enable word completition. Every time I press suggested word the "htc ime mod stopped working" message pops up. That's about it, I can't remember anything else but if I do I'll write it up

All in all, pretty *ucking awesome job man. Just keep working.

Cheers

Btw, this is what I got:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Random offset: 0x336

Install from sdcard complete
that's normal. on first boot give it 15 or 20 minutes to get past hero screen. and make sure you wipe everything, data/system/cache/dalvik before flashing this rom and trying again.

cheers!

yea htc ime mod hangs a lot as it turns out.

so far the best keyboard I've foudn out of my collection is the paid app Smart Keyboard Pro. since my market won't download anythign I couldnt' install it's dictionary, but it still works great and is very fast and always has been one of my favorite looking and typing keyboards (it looks like the iphone keyboard actually).

but I'm sure there are other ones that are great too.

Oh yeah, I'd like to know that as well. I was even hoping ICS would run smoother than GB due to hardware acceleration.

ok i googled this issue a bit...and found out that some lg users have an issue quite similar.....they solved it by formating/removing/unmounting the sd card..... MAYBE it could be something like this....nothing to lose^^ so i'll try it when i'm at home....since i still do not believe it is an issue with the phone.apk or the radio itself (since we seem to be the only ones with the issue....)
