[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
hehe i optimized the rom even more and re-added kifno tweaks without infinite loop scripts :D this rom is blazing fast :D uploading 4-10 soon i'm testing for things other than google search fc'ing :D also this comes with sense notification bar :D

now i need to compile (stupid virtualbox) and apply sense lockscreen and get my bootanimation i found to work :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
4-10 is out and now i'm one step away from having a 100% gingersense rom. i have to get the lockscreen to work which will be a challenge so this will be the last update for a while :D i'll upload a sense bootanimation if i find one/convert mine correctly for cdma.

also read 4-10 change log i'm sure you all will be happy to see the changes :D this release is the best so far :D you will fall in love with your heroc again :D

thanks for all the support and testing of this rom in its unstable builds earlier before 4-09-11. i really appreciate you all sticking around to see me pull this off :D i'm proud of myself :D now i just need to finish this completely and i'll be satisfyied :D post feedback i need to know what all to fix (google fc's is already one). thanks again and whoever sent that donation earlier thank you :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Can't download the update mediafire keeps engine loading
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 120409:
damn 95% ;).......
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Silvrb6:
dang bro i just updated to 4-9 today now i have to re-download another one and install lol and i just got my desktop the way I like it again :P

edit: im getting hung at the HTC white screen of death again on 4-10 on second reboot.... Uh oh! :S

edit 2: ok Nvm, idk what happen the first time but its booting normally now o.O
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 120409:
alright i just installed it, now im rebooting for the second time gotta wait what happens......:/ taking a while......:( i took out the battery, no luck yet :/......fixing permissions on cwm 3.......rebooting again.......didnt boot again :( what the heck is happening :(?!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Silvrb6:
Same thing happen to me, but for some reason it started working again, I just did a Factory Reset, Wipe cache, Wipe Devlik or whatever it is and now its working fine...

When I first installed it, it had all my options and background still saved from my previous installation and when I did the Reset the second time, it cleared all that and it started fresh and now it works and reboots just fine, maybe try that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 120409:
hhhmmmm i'll try it like 2 times maybe because not everything gets wiped completely?? ugghhh i'll try it in a while :( hopefully this works ima cross my fingers cause i really love this rom, when i loaded it a while ago i just loved how smooth it was ;).........but im getting tired of this rebooting thing haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Flashed update very snappy but tried to flash data2ext and just got white screen happened twice what's going on am I doing something wrong
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Silvrb6:
Yeah it should work, I just did it twice and both times it worked for me, except the second time It still didnt erase all my options and background from the last installation but yet it still worked lol. So just wipe data, install, let it boot, then reboot in recovery, wipe data again and second boot took a while to load but after that it loads really quick and mine has been working fine so it should work like that im guess. The ADB cmd thing has never worked for me lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
There shouldn't be any boot issues hmmmm let me check the zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yeah I reboot perfectly and I use tgf's original data2ext ill take his modded one down that causes issues. But in the instructions I said wipe everything using cwm 3.0.0.5 :D wiping is probably the problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yup wipe data & cache & dalvik after boot does it :D I'll add to the instructions. Everyone please try new instructions :D

Edit. Rebooted 5x very fast and no problems after wiping after booting into rom. :D Now I can get back to working on this lockscreen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Oh yeah data2ext causes the boot after to take a while because it's moving all your apps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Feedback please I need for next release :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I'm back to stuck at the white hTC screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
Idk what to say Man! haha its pretty solid. I, personally agree you should keep your tweak in any rom you do. I mean you gotta be dumb if you cant appreciate that work. As far as things Fclsng, or anything weird.. i didnt see a problem. i ran it all last night and this morning and still have it on and its smooth. If i run into anything else i let you know ASAP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
Edit, just tried the google search, and it still fC's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik after first boot like instructed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yup themed over and everything works
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Soundfreak82:
So then, doesn't that mean this thread should be in Themes and Apps? Since this is basically Cyanogen mod with a sense theme and a camera from another rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I did other things to the rom as well but I guess this will be most known BC of the theme

And I didnt know roms could go in themes and apps section. If so move please :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
Well I posted it over at AF for you to get you some feedback, you can keep an eye on it, I will try to keep it updated with your future releases if all goes well ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
jaybob's themed 6.2 ROMs are in the Development section. This isn't any different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thanku7:
I don't know much about ROM programming. As a user, it seems like CM7 with HTC sense theme, including some extra apps. Everything (SMS, data, wifi, camemra, etc) is working well. Speed is fine. I like it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrunnerli:
Sense theme

I really love the sense theme and the clock! Everything works well for me! Thanxs.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
All it is is CM7, with a few apks swapped out with the elements to theme it to look like Sense included in the ROM. All of which can be downloaded in the Market. The title and the OP are a bit (a lot?) misleading. The OP says "Looking for a faster CM7 rom with a Sense UI?!?!" It's not Sense at all, it's simply CM7 running a Sense theme.

If you are gonna dev, dev. If you are gonna theme, theme. But don't theme and call yourself a dev...or you'll end up sayin' the Rodney Dangerfield line, "I get no respect" ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I can't Dec and theme?!?! That's not allowed? :confused: :( but I optimized the Rom and tweaked and did other things to it as well and ill change the title and post to be more informative of what the rom is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
BTW the theme creators and I are working on making this happen without all the steps to set up. :) while I'm working on this roms widgets (again are devs not allowed to theme....I'm serious :confused: bc I want respect just I want to do as much as possible for our heroes).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Okay thanks :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I'm just offering feedback...don't get pissed ;)

I didn't say that you can't dev and theme. All I am saying is that this is not a ROM you developed that incorporates Sense like you originally claimed. I know you had permission to use it and all that...it's a ROM someone else deved that you tossed a Sense looking theme into. If I pull the elements you include in this ROM to make it look like Sense, make it flashable, I can't tell people they are flashing Sense...they are simply flashing a theme. Without those couple added things, this is just CM7:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Wanting respect and getting respect are two different things. Especially here. And earning it without demanding it.

HTC SuperHero Vanilla/Gingerbread 2.3.3 all credit to AOSP
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
that is true if you pull the minor changes i made, the tweaks, the added apps (which IMO are better) and the theme you are right. all this is is a PNG optimized, Zipaligned cm7 with a theme and some tweaks for speed added. nothing more. so you're right on bro. and i didn't develop this rom by far all that credit goes to cm7 team they're the ones who did it, i don't think i ever said i developed this rom though but oh well I DIDN'T ;) :D (btw gotta love those guys, the cm7 team :rolleyes:. and i'm working on theming as well (i'm still new to theming apps and the framework so my true sense theme that i personally created won't be released for a while)... but this rom is just me putting a theme on it and making it better in my opinion :D no hard feelings i'm not pissed (by the way sorry if i came off like that because i hardly EVER get pissed ;) i am just a guy who loves to help others). we're all friends here bro :D

also this will be updated with cm7 as his releases comes out so will this rom (most likely with more changes applied to it). if you like the themed rom cool :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I'm here to gain it the right way no matter how long it takes, I don't care if people say its harder here, I will gain respect the right way no matter how long it takes. :D All I need is time to do more for the hero cdma community :D

and :D love that quote.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
If this is just minor changes and tweaks in the GUI, I wouldn't call it a ROM or a THEMED ROM. It would be more of an extension.

You're learning though, and that's a good thing! You must start small to get anywhere.

Take the criticism and grow off of it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
not theme not rom, extension gotcha and will do :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Changed first post and thread title to be more informative as to what the rom is :d
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
If ya really want to gain respect, when you make your Sense theme, get the 6 bar signal icon working instead of just doing like everyone else does...the dockbar and then pass it off as sense. ;) I tried and couldn't get it going

*EDIT* Pic was for demonstration purposes only. Removed to not clog my Dropbox with unneeded files ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
Don't worry about all the negative feedback Kifno. We all respect what you do because let's face it, most of us just don't have the time to get into developing/tweaking/etc. I appreciate all the work all the dev's do here at XDA.

In regards to the "posting of a ROM"... many people do the exact same thing. For instance jaybob does similar and has for some time, as well as countless others. In fact, there are very few "original ROM creation/porters" so if these people want to get real picky specific then 80% of the ROM postings would fall into this same category. I see no reason it should not be in the "Development" thread because it is infact, a completely intact ROM and not just a THEME to be flash over it (with a CM7 base JUST LIKE AOSP Gingerbread I might add). You stated in your original post that it was approved by the ROM developer as the base build.

Keep it up man... :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 120409:
yess!!!! no more reboot problems for me!!! :) thanks so much!!! ur steps on the 1st post worked :)!!!;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Yea your right it does take a while thanks for this great rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I wiped data/factory reset, cache partition, Davlik cache, format /boot, /cache,/data, /system . Flashed Rocksteady, tried to boot, stuck at White hTC screen, Then wiped everything again (started over) flashed rock steady and gapps-gb-20110307-signed . Won't get past white hTC screen.. Just something in my phone (everyone elses works) that won't take this build.. I don't get past first boot..

I get this far,

1. Backup EVERYTHING (SD Card, Titanium Backup, Nandroid)

2. Wipe EVERYTHING (Data/Factory Rest, Wipe Cache, Format Boot, System, Cache, and Data, Wipe Dalvik)

3. Download and Copy RockSteady to your sdcard

4. Flash RockSteady

Flash finished ok, then I try to boot..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
with the 4/10 build you dont need to flash gapps.

and what recovery are you using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-heroc-20110409, I was using clockworkworkMod 2.5.0.7,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
hmm, by what you posted on wiping, it sounds like youre doing it correctly.

Fix permissions maybe? This is beyond my knowledge. Wipe Dalvik after Formatting all that stuff. It shouldnt matter, but i ran into a problem like that. and if that doesnt work, id pm kif.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
Did you make a partion ext, on your previous rom? you might have to format that too before going to this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I'll check that and try again, thanks David.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
hey no problem friend. the only typical reason you get stuck at the htc screen is if it boots to high of a Mgz.. butt= this rom is capped at 691, so there is something else a foot. good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Okay I think its a framework issue

So lockscreen and Google search :)

REMEMBER EVERYONE TRY THIS ROM POST FEEDBACK AND IF YOU HAVE REBOOT ISSUE I HOPE YOU READ THAT YOU SHOULD WIPE DATA CACHE AND DALVIK AFTER FIRST BOOT :)

So close to gingersense being complete its exciting and this Tom was a good learning experience for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Please follow the instructions letter for letter in the first post and please use clockwork 3.0.0.5 or higher. DONT DO ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES WHAT IT SAYS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS UNTIL THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE COMPLETED.,please do that and post back asap as to if it worked or not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Oh please format sdcard using cwm3.0.0.5 too :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I did what you said, but still won't boot.. Don't bother with this right now, I have to run out for a while,, Thanks Kevin..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Post exact instructions on what you did and did you do Exactly what I said? It works but I bet something else is the problem. Please logcat too. All that info is good and I can easily tell you what the problem is by you telling me what you did, with what recovery, and a logcat.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Ok I made mistake I didn't install data2ext. I tried all I would get are bootloops on blue android so I wiped everything and still nothing so what are the instructions installing data2ext
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
I want to try this, where is the download link? The sig keeps directing me to page 1. thanks

heheh nvm im in a rush but I found it =]
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Silvrb6:
Ohhhhhhh there's a new clockworks lmao oops :P ill get that I have not been paying attention lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Enable_data2ext
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 33hfl:
kifno please can you explain me better about step #6 on setting?how about other PPO3 accounts,i really need this one.thanks for u help;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Silvrb6:
Your going to have to download a mail app from the market to add emails other then gmail. The stock mail app is not in GS.

As far as step 6 is concerned you "Long press" the home screen obviously in a blank space on the screen which will bring up a menu that says "shortcut, custom shortcut" etc... select "custom shortcut". when the little box appears you click on "Pick your activity" and goto "Applications" and scroll down until you see "Phone" and select that. Once selected the phone icon will appear in the little icon box to the left next to what once said "Pick your activity" but now should say "Phone", click that and use quickpic or es file explorer then select the transparent.png image that is provided for you on your sdcard root and will show up in quickpic under sdcard. Once selected all you have to do is press "OK" and the phone shortcut is added to the desktop/home screen, press and hold the phone icon and drag the icon to where it says PHONE at the bottom of your screen and let go... and your done with step 6...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks for helping :)

And I know why 4-10 bootloops for SOME people. I will fix this asap BC it's the rom not playing nice with SOME phones. Will fix today if I have time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I've been thinking about this rom and there will be a major update to it. I don't when it will be released (based on if and when I have time). I'm sure EVERYONE will love it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
not sleeping till its out XD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
Would you recommend, flashing another kernel? s0be came out with this great thing (so i hear) but idk if itll effect with your rom and or tweaks?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
What is different from sobe's kernel than the cm7 stock kernel? And ill tell you :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I might have an major update tonight :) if not tonight then it's BC I'm busy but I MIGHT. Along with my v1.5 tweak script thread update :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davidevan:
this is the answer i recieved

"Based on hard work by the great dev's on xda. Oh and pure awesomeness. Nand and try it out."

hahaha. so i might just try it for fun and see if it effects it in any way

Contacts Not Appearing

I am having a really weird little issue with the Contacts not showing up in the newest 4/10 version of this rom.

I came from NFXHero 2.2.1 which is a Sense 2.1 rom and backed up contacts to the SD card with the export option within contacts.

When I try to import that file, Rock Steady reads all the contacts in, but nothing appears in the contacts application. Though when I dial a number and call it the name that corresponds to that number in contacts popups, so I know that the rom has stored them then.

Any thoughts or ideas on what to do to get my contact app to show the contact list.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
Why not just sync your contacts with Google? It sounds like it's treating them as "Phone" contacts but it's setup to only display Google contacts...perhaps under Menu > Display Options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amdme127:
Thanks for the suggestion, but that wasn't it, the contacts are still not showing up in the list
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
Was there any option to show phone only contacts? I don't have any so assumed it will show if you have some but again that's an assumption. I just allow Google to manage my contacts as that sync is far more reliable than me remembering to import / export. You may want to wait to see if anyone else uses this same process. Beyond that I'd think you'd be looking at reflashing the rom. Also, Google will import your contacts online.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aznprelude:
Getting FC on gps, search wiget... help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Hopefully next release will fix :) I don't use either but I'll try and fix
[Hero CDMA Android Development] amdme127:
I messed with the display options to no avail.

Interesting thing is that apps like the default and Handcent sms apps identify contacts when I start to enter in a name, it shows me the contacts from my list that fit that criteria I entered in the To: box

So the contacts are in the system, just not displaying in the contacts app or the contacts portion of the phone app (same app, two ways to get to it)

Anyone else have the problem of contacts not showing in the contact list when importing contacts from the SD card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hakujin:
Was thinking of trying this out... until I read that. Don't you think it (and other bugs) might be relevant in the 'what needs work' section on page 1?

No GPS and No search is HUGE.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Oops forgot to update! !!!

Will do NOW :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aznprelude:
k... :-) thanks for the quick reply
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
No. Sense Widgets do not, and will never, work on any ROM except a Sense based ROM. ;)

*EDIT* This ROM is also for the HTC Hero CDMA, so I would not install it on your Desire. Bad things will happen :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I second this :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] YOSEFE:
First of all, thanks for a quick response.

Secondly, let me say that I installed the rom on my DZ last night, and there are absolutely no bad things that have happened to my device.

Lastly, what does "GingerSense 2.3.3" mean in the OP's lable?

Thanks for your attention.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
WHAT?!?! How did it go? Did it work good? Bad?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally a gingerbread ROM that isn't slow and laggy.

The problems I have noticed:

1) Search widget force close

2) GPS Status occasionally force closes

3) Alarm Droid force closes... you get the picture, a number of annoying force closes even after repairing permissions and restarting a couple times

4) Text on menus is barely readable because the text is white and the background nearly the same color (these are the menus that pop-up from the bottom, like in Maps when you hit Menu -> More)

5) (Seemingly) Missing Apps on Market: I was looking for a 3D gallery replacement and found QuickPic. It's awesome, but no Picasa online support. Went looking for JustPictures!, but it's not on my market. Same thing with Shazam. Either these two have recently been pulled from the market, or the market phone identifier doesn't think our phones/ROM are compatible.

A couple questions or suggestions:

1) Where can we get the browser from the CM6/7 ROMS? I prefer this to opera and any other options I've tried

2) Is there a way to turn off continuous autofocus in MIUI camera? Once the camera locks focus it results in a lag if one tries to move the camera to another subject.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] YOSEFE:
Wait a minute, when I install rom in rom manager, everything works just fine, however, when I use cw recovery to install the same rom, it just fails to install with the error: "assert failed: getprop..."

Strange.

I guess I should just pack my "bags" and move myself back to the G2/DZ forum.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks for giving me a list of things to improve on :) I really appreciate that and I think I can fix most of the problems for ya once my new laptop charger arrives and/or I get my desktop repaired. As for stock CM7 browser pull it from cm7 zip and place in this roms system/app folder. As for autofocus isn't there a manual touch to focus, ill check but you should be able to just manually focus.

EDIT : just manually touch to focus by turning auto focus off :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I call BS without seeing screenshots and actual pics of a DZ running the ROM. ;)

There is no way that everything would. The files are not for the Desire, they are for the Hero CDMA...

Exactaly what would be expected. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobloiy:
ok, can you change the launcher(to newer adw from market)?(i noticed its the adw from original cm7 which lags ALOT) everything else is ok.(just making suggestions not offending anyone)

and also, why doesnt my build prop work??? i use setcpu(but not after installation) and i dont use collin. does setcpu rly matter?(if i used it before)
