Root GalaxHero v1.1 and Recovery v4.3 are out!

Excellent! Downloading now...

Many thanks Drakaz, I will look at sending a donation later.

 

Someone should inform him about the K1 kernel source.

 

K1 kernel source??

Edit : ah I see the other thread now, anyone checked if an update is available with sephail's FUS downloader? I can't check from here.

 

Posted this over on HDBlog too but I've just applied the new update.zip over the top of my existing GalaxHero 1.0 without doing a factory reset/wipe, then restored the g.apps, and everything is looking fine.

There's also no need to reflash the recovery just overwrite the RECTOOLS.tar.gz file with the new one.

 

Is there any noticeable improvement compared to 1.0?
1.0 was very slow on my device and after few mods posted on this forum is now working great...so is it worth upgrading?

 

I never had any performance issues with 1.0, you've not got compcache enabled have you? That does slow things down noticeably.

No huge changes in this, just some improvements/fixes. Changelog from the HDBlog thread...

 

Thanks drakaz. The Galaxy wouldn't be as awesome as it is without this rom.

 

yeah, I did have compcache enabled
Well...since it is so easy to upgrade, I will give it a try.
Keep up the good work, Drakaz

 

Seems dropbear has changed in this, so if you were using the "SSH_ON.bat" script mentioned in the galaxo tweaks thread (http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/12365-galaxo-tweaks-get-more-memory.html#post73375) it won't work.

You'll need to run "adb shell" to open up a shell, enter "passwd" and set a new password for root, then modify the SSH_ON script to...

adb forward tcp:9999 tcp:2222
adb shell "/system/xbin/dropbear -p 2222"

 

just the update.zip or did you do gapps aswell as mine has been booting for 25mins now but it doesnt look like a loop

i think you were lucky as now my phone is borked and ill have to start again from the beginning

EDIT: Fixed, i had to restore gapps as well as apply update.zip not just update.zip

 

has the compcache been fixed on 1.1?

 

thanks

 

Yes I did restore the g.apps again too, I wasn't sure if that would be needed sorry, should have posted.

 

I've been playing around with compcache enabled today and it seems faster than 1.0 was.

 

you should always make sure you give advice based on EXACTLY what you did as otherwise it results in further problems like i experienced, lucky for me i a bit more versed in sorting problems with galaxy but alot of users would panic and start messing up other things

 

Well as I stated I was installing over the top of an existing GalaxHero 1.0, surely those people would be well aware

 

indeed, but you said "i just applied update.zip"
so i did just that, i ended up in android screen for almost an hour.
because you said "it worked" i didnt think i needed to apply gapps as it was already on from the previous install.

i had to pull the battery, boot back into recovery, re apply update, apply gapps and then it worked

its good to be specific in what you did

 

I did the same mistake as Rastaman-FB. No harm done though, only needed to reboot back into recovery and reapply

 

I just done it (GalaxHERO1.1) over Galaxo1.0, no wipe. and it working smooth, every thing i know still there. just need to reinstall CIME & remove something I don't need.

I would say one thing is must have,
- Home app is now locked in memory to avoid reloading of it
Like keeping the OS/UI standby for my input all the time, not me waiting for it.

one question:
did anyone know where can I find this option,
- Add an option on AdvancedLauncher to activate/deactivate haptic

 

rastaman... please can you give me a step by step guide... i done the galaxo before with the help of kam,, but hes no longer here,,is he?.. remember i had problems on my laptop? and i had to borrow a friends.. well firstly..do i have to borrow his llaptop again, or can i do it on a mac? im currently runnin the original galaxhero... i remember doin the flash ting in command prompt..then doin rest on the phone in different mode.. doin back ups, then update or sumthin like that,,then restores... pleade sort out a step by step please

 

KAM is still about i think

eitherway as you already have galax0 1.0 all i did was
1 put the new update.zip on the phone mass storage
2 replace the old rectools with the new one from the v4.3 recovery
3 download the system img from the htc site calling it HTC.zip and put it onto the mass storage
4 check that II5.tar is still on the phone mass storage
5 boot into recovery and notice its now showing 4.3
6 do a nandroid backup
7 apply update.zip
8 restore gapps
9 Restore LibHGL
10 reboot

i didnt need to use any ADB commands or Fastboot
this worked for me in exactly this order however if it doesnt you maybe required to borrow someones machine
personally i would recommend doing it when near a windows pc just incase something does go drastically wrong you can flash it with odin

i think it will be just fine though

 

Can anyone please upload google apps backup. I'd be very grateful. I've messed things up, and now I can't restore them. Haven't been very careful and forgot to put new rectools, so the update wasn't succesful. I had to wipe. Now I get this when I try to restore g.apps:
-- Restore Google apps
-- Press HOME to confirm, or
-- any other key to abort..
-- Restore started...
