Oh, thank you! You did all the awesome work on this. I was thinking it was a hardware limitation that was making the ASOP and CM7 implementations so slow. But you've proven that to be false, and shown that the Hero hardware is still very usable. And by the way, I've seen my 3g speeds double, both up and down.

I will make that change to the camera - I had wrongly assumed that turning autofocus off would turn auto focus OFF.

Which governor and compacache setting do you recommend? Smartass 352/748 with no compache and no JIT seems to be working well for me. But I do get a little wake lag and battery life seems to be a little less than with CM6/7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckwigwam:
hey kifno, I really loved the look and feel of the rom but I had one major issue...I could not make a phone call any longer than a minute usually it was a few seconds then it would disconnect. this happened with both the 04/05 and the 04/10 release. the other issues have already been discussed in this thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
Thanks for this tip... somehow I never thought of this simple solution. In this particular case I found that simply running the APK from the CM7's apps folder (after extracting the ROM zip) will install the browser. In contrast, when I pasted it into the app folder of the Gingersense ROM [while I am currently running it] with Rootexplorer, nothing happened.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
I've also just noticed two issue with adding accounts via the "Add Account" screen:

1) When trying to add a Facebook account, I click on the presented "Facebook" option, but there is no opportunity to enter my info and as a result no facebook account can be added

2) There is no option to add a "Corporate" or activesync account. This was always available with CM6/7 but I don't see it here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chuckwigwam:
this is what I noticed about facebook sync...I had to go to the facebook app. open it hit menu to bring up options, select settings, then you can choose how to sync your contacts. the issue I had was after syncing them each day they would not be in my contacts the next day so I would have to do it every day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
Hmmm. That solved my problem. It seems like the Facebook account add must have been started when I first boot the ROM. When I went to the app it was waiting for me to pick which lvel of syncing I wanted to do - as you said - and once I accepted the settings Facebook then appeared in the list of accounts I have setup. Thanks fro the help.

I still can't figure out where the Corporate account option has gone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
i'm cooking up something good here tonight and will be releasing it if i can test everything in time before i fall asleep :D

here is what to be expected:

- rom is odexed on first boot

- 2D/3D Graphics will be MUCH better

- PNG OPTIMIZED

- base is updated

- almost all cm7 stock apps will be updated and themed

- latest gapps will be included in the rom

- and of course some custom kifno tweaks to make things so much better

So if all testing goes well/fast enough I can get this done tonight. I just need to type up the odex script, and finish 2D/3D test, and theme and update new base for gingerbread and upload. This is something that all you gingersense lovers will love for sure :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
You do realize there's a reason they aren't included by default, right? Something to do with Cyanogen receiving a cease-and-desist from Google.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
okay thanks for that tip jason :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakedGr8:
Ohhh yeah I remember that :\ Well anyways, kifno this looks amazing, I actually may try this out. I was holding out for a while until this became more stable, I'll test it this weekend and try to give you as much feedback as I can: You REALLY are doing a good job, and I see how you're putting so many hours into this! You're helping me make the cut until the EVO 3D comes out, lol

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I really need the sense widgets, mostly the weather one and the agenda / calender one that syncs with google calender. Any widgets I can find on the market to replace those, as I'm assuming this won't be included in this ROM?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I didn't get to finish it :( hopefully I get some time again to get on another desktop some where and work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etstanger:
Hey I have a .apk file of MLB at bat and for some reason my Titanium Backup nor the apk will install on this new ROM. Any reason why?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
I am experiencing a similar thing with Foursquare: I have it as a Titanium backup, but once I restore it (with a successful restore message) it isn't actually installed. I also cannot find it on the market. This coupled with the missing Shazam and other common apps makes me think this isn't a simple problem with just a few apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Op

Sounds great can't wait keep up the good work kifno
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
Upon further testing with an actual APK of foursquare, I find that it simply can't be installed. Any ideas as to why certain apps that DO work on CM7 and AOSP/CM7 DON'T work on this version of CM7?

I can understand things not showing on the market based on whatever device Gingersenese happens to be saying it is. But to be unable to even install certain apps? Seems strange. I wouldn't think that you had changed enough to cause this much incompatibility, kifno.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
okay so i am using my mom's desktop this weekend until my charger arrives from buy.com so i need to ask a question really quick :D

would you all like a blue sense theme or a green sense theme?

please answer ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you and i'll get to work on setting up linux on virtualbox on her desktop with my backup usb drive so that i can get to work (buy.com isn't going to stop me from doing what i love to do :D). also once you all answer that question then i'll like to let you all know that I will be making two versions of this rom:

- based of the official CM7 V7.0.0

- kifno compiled :D

Hopefully i'll only need to work on this for about 5-6 hours total and can get to bed by 1-2am so that i can wake up tomorrow and go to illinois for a bboy battle. but anyway that's all i wanted to ask/say :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
It's tough to say but I guess I'll vote for green. I kinda like the green you have on it now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
I'll go for blue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 120409:
ima go with green :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Green it is!

Once I get this in final I'll consider the blue theme as well :)

As of now I'm setting up my personal Linux mint settings so that it won't be so slow on virtual box :) then I'm compiling :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
You put so much time and effort into this Kif, you are seriously a tank amongst Devs. Plus trying to have a social life, geeze. You go man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Hey I haven't finished it yet and I probably won't tonight because of this bboy battle but just wanted to let you all know I'm getting over 600 on quad and 59fps in neocore and 5 mflops on the incompleted version lol. I didn't even optimize, tweak, and odex yet :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
We already had 59 "fps" in Neocore. That's easy to get when it isn't actually displaying any textures.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Might I add I was getting 57.2 constant before I began my magic on cyanogenmod :D but too bad ups doesn't deliver on weekends I could've had this finished last night
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
The score means nothing if the program is malfunctioning. A more impressive feat would be fixing the graphics stack problems which break it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Hmph....ill look into that but you're right. But quad isn't broken and I used to get low 500 now I get low 600. But the programs don't mean much to me the real life performance does and it's much better on my testing/incomplete build rather than my 4-10-11 release. But it won't be released until ups arrives with my charger.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Kifno's Rom Status Update:

Okay so I just got my laptop charger yesterday after coming home from a bboy battle at SIUE college, to see it in the mail. Even though it was 11pm, I got immediately to work on setting my laptop up again once more. So I am now dual booting linux mint and windows 7 ultimate. I then set up *blah blah blah*......afterwards I compiled cm7 from source. Also I finished my update to the cm7 base version. So that is ready to release but my compiled version is not. And now I'm testing it to make sure I did it correctly. Then I'll get to re-applying all the changes I made to make gingerbread, gingersense!

So this update should be released tonight hopefully if all goes well :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
from the looks of it....this update won't be tonight. I'm running into problems with my compiled gingerbread rom :( but i'm on it :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeffjaslow:
google maps navigation

Is anyone else getting a FC with Google Maps "NAVIGATION"...everything else in the Google Maps is working fine...I have tried versions 5.0 - 5.3.

Spring Navigation works fine.

GPS seems to be working fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
okay so from now on this isn't based of the final cm7 rom...its based off my own compiled gingerbread rom (though it might have issues). i'm finishing things up right now and will be uploading a completely revamped gingersense rom tonight. this update will be huge so please keep an eye out for when i update the thread tonight :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
as of now i'm fixing a major problem (when you first boot the ui is just black :()

so know on my compiled rom that wasn't a problem just once i made it gingersense it became a problem but as usual i can almost always find the problem along (not everytime) if i can't then i'll be asking for help fixing it in the q & a heroc sub forum but that's unlikely :D and it is likely that i will have this up tonight
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
D

Awesome can't wait
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
Yes. That force closed on me everytime too. With the FCs and random apps that wouldn't run I had to switch back to CM7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Im pretty sure I fixed it in my latest release I'm working on :) Just wait until tonight or tomorrow for me to release. I'm having trouble compiling and decompiling on my laptop. I think I know the problem. It must be my adb and Java paths. But once I finish that (framework XML edits) then ill upload
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
@kifno

How is this update coming alone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
all i need to do is change the menu text color from white to black but i can't compile my modified framework-res using apktool or apk manager >:( I keep getting errors on my laptop. When I was at my mom's and I was on her desktop after I set it up it worked fine. But now that I'm using my laptop it won't work :( Once I change the menu text then I can upload tonight. I'm going to try doing this my other OS, Linux Mint. Hopefully I don't get compiling errors on Linux Mint :( I think java is the problem because i'm using 1.6 jdk

[Hero CDMA Android Development] m_reyna_16:
is there any way i can get JUST THE CLOCK in my cyanogen 7 rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
what do yo mean? you want just the sense clock?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
If you want just the clock then I can pm you the apk file :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
good luck man! best 2.3 leak breakout yet!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I'm working on a cyanogenmod less gingerbread rom in the background :) but until then this is cyanogenmod source based even though I do major edits to the source to make gingersense, gingersense. So it's a heavily modified cyanogenmod source based rom instead of a themed rom now. I'm one step closer to developing my own rom without another persons base.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
oh thats great! i mean between you and me, cyan. is everywhere and its getting old hahaha. i mean theyre great, but im so happy youre taking an intuitive for something on your own. If i was a dev, id back you up all the time... but im not =[
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I wouldn't call it old because I love cyanogenmod. I used it after I got over sense 2.1 just failing to the speed of android 2.2 and 2.3 roms. but yeah I'm glad i'm moving on from using bases of other people's roms. I'm going to use http://source.android.com/index.html to build my own official 2.3 rom and then modify it just like i am doing now except a WHOLE lot more so that the heroc will have an awesome gingersense rom :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cwzkevin:
wow, that must be very difficult! can't wait!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yeah it's going to be REALLY difficult, since you CAN'T build a sense rom from android source.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I'm going to start with applying the theme to the source and then adding the features of sense to the rom as time goes on :D It'll be hard but I like challenges and it'll be a good learning experience for me as I develop the rom. But first I'm going to focus on releasing a final CM7 based gingersense rom :D Which should be soon after this release :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Wow so your working on two different roms you sure have alot on shoulder
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
yeah just the 2nd rom i'm working on (based off the official gingerbread source code) i'm working on in the background. and that won't be released until further notice so for now this is cm7 based gingersense :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Tell me your not working on both roms at the same time
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Can someone do me a huge favor and I'll credit you in first post. If you have a working apk tool or apk manager then can you please decompile replace the styles.xml with my edited xml and then recompile. Pm me asap because once this is done I can release the latest and greatest gingersense rom about 30 minutes to 1 hour after. Please someone volunteer to do so and pm me asap so I can send you the files thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I am
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Is it that addictive what would I need to build my own Rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
i have a special gift for the first one to help me with my framework-res.apk xml editing compiling problem. first one to offer to help and complete what i asked will receive :O

i can't tell you but i know you'll love it :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
sorry for the wait everyone but i'm having someone help me with the framework compiling issues by decompiling and compiling the framework-res.apk's for me. once we get this figured out (we're working on menu text color edits which i've done before my laptop is being stupid with apktool) then i'll release the rom b/c i finished everything i wanted to change/update :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
if you've donated to me (either now, or in the past) please pm me i have a special gift for you that i have decided to start giving all of my donators :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tburns:
Hats off to you with this rom. I have been following it for awhile and going to update my co-workers phone with it. Wonder if I could port it over to the Eris with donations sent your way?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
sure :D i'll even help you port the rom. i was about to a rom myself but i got into developing roms myself :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
hehehe....guess what?!!??!!

i just got my apkmanager working on my laptop again :D :D :D :D so you know what that means?

i'm releasing the latest and greatest version of this rom TONIGHT! you all will love it :D

can't wait :D

i'm 100% positive this is getting released tonight
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Silvrb6:
YAY! :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Ill be home in 2-3 hours and it'll be online then :D

Then it's off to v1.5 script release :D Ah I love the feeling of big release days :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
i am releasing this tonight i'm just working on a boot animation lol :D so far i am getting it to work a little bit

edit: uploading :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
I just might have to check this out! Let us know when its updated. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
FINALLY A GINGERSENSE UPDATE IS RELEASED!!!!​

be ready for your minds to be blow away after this update in terms of speed, framework, etc.

:D i fixed a lot no more gps and whatever other issues you guys were talking about :D everything is fixed except i need to change the color of some menu icons :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
according to the 6 PM's i've recieved so far here is a update on what I need to fix (please I need people to test this rom for more feedback thanks):

- lock screen pattern circles

- modify the lock screen pattern to have that same green streak like sense's lock screen pattern does

- modify the lock screen and notification bar "sprint" text to say either "gingersense" or "heroc"

- also i need to include a super circle battery mod as extra for those of you who would like a super circle battery instead of the sprint battery :D

other than that so far all is good :D i'll add these to the first post and please post feedback i really good feeling you all will like this update more :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
hey kif could you please post a mirror mediafire isnt working for me:(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
will megaupload work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Cant wait to try this out. As for the 'Sprint' on the lock screen and notification bar, Works for me. Is it easy to change to something personal maybe without to much work?

Now to just figure out how to manage all my apps I have on my SD card using Darktremor A2SD on my current ROM... I dont wanna loose all my apps. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
yea megaupload should work mdeiafire just resyncs itself continously on my pc and will never process the download
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
hmmm what rom are you on? if you are on a cyanogenmod rom you can move the apps to the sd card and then use adb shell or root explorer or es file explorer and move the /data/app folder after you moved all your apps to your sd card and then you're good to go to just re-install all the apk files once you flash this :D or you can use titanium backup instead of doing all that :D

but i guarantee your mind will be blown away at how good this rom is now :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Using the ROM in my signature. I have ReWare MyBackup Pro so might just use that. Titanium better to use? I have never used it and until I installed my current rom I never had A2SD set up so this one is new but I will figure it I hope. lol I do also have Root Explorer Pro installed so I could go that route also.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Okay since you are on nfx you can't move apps to sd via application manager. So you need to use titanium backup and backup all your apps 1 by 1. Once you do that you're set to go for flashing this rom :D It's a beast now. Way better than the last update so I'm sure you'll enjoy this rom a lot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakedGr8:
Kif, I'm very excited to try this out, but I need to know something. I use sense now on 2.1 because I really really badly need the calendar widget that syncs with my google calender. Any alternatives you can think of?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Jorte Calandar ;)

Once you flash this and get it set up please post feed back :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Just amazing kifno I would recommend this update to anyone great job I see that you have 1.5 script is already release can't wait to flash it on gingersense
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Finally someone flashed this :D It's a much MUCH better rom than it was before glad to see you like it :D I spent a lot of time making changes to source code of cm7 before i compiled the source and then got to editing the rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] m_reyna_16:
kifno, can u send me the clock widget via pm?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
yeah actually i'll upload it to this post via zip :D

check the attachment :D

take that and place it in your system/app folder and reboot or unzip your current rom's zip and delete it's clock from /system/app and add mine to it rezip and resign the zip and flash it :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakedGr8:
Kifn, so I finally decided to try this ROM out, and boy, this is impressive. The speed is quite phenomenal. I'll keep digging to see if I find any glitches or errors, and I'll let you know :)

PS. I don't get this part:

Long press home screen and create a custom widget with phone as the activity. Then click the phone icon and us es file explorer or gallery and use the transparent.png I provided for you on the root of your SD card. Okay the custom widget and the drag and drop it over the phone button. Do the same for right sense dock button (choose a custom activity of your choice)

~ Jake
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
Is this a REAL SENSE ROM or just themed? I'm lost....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakedGr8:
From what I see it's something in between. It's not THE sense, but there is a ton of modding to make it look very close. you do lose widgets and stuff but you'll fool others into thinking its sense.

~ Jake
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
Ahhh I see.... I'll give it a try if I do decide to jump on it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
Ok here is my question.....i used your rocksteady 4/10/11 but I dont like the phone app, I want to be able to start typing in a name and it recongnizes the person.......

also I need to calendar app from sense on the main screen.....

am I asking too much from this ROM????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I'm actually getting into app development so it isn't too much to ask. Ill keep that in mind as I'm learning how to develope apps. But you should try this update its a huge improvement for this rom :) as for the calandar, jorte is a good replacement ;) but ill work on sense apps ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Press menu > add > custom shortcut. Then press the activity button and then choose application from the pop up box. Scroll down and choose phone. Then press the phone icon in the box on the left of the create custom shortcut box and follow the instructions from there. :D if you're stuck on a part let me know and I'll explain it more :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
I'm finally gonna bite. Coming from 3/03 aospCmod, which was great for me. Looks like great work.
