Alright I see what's going on now :p I get it. Okay here are some first impressions, I'll start with some issues:

1) First problem I noticed is that the dot-unlocker when the screen is being unlocked has white boxes around the circles, and the lines don't have fluid motion (which I actually don't mind turning off). But the bigger thing is the boxy look of the dots.

2) The keyboard. Although the gingerbread keyboard rocks, I still prefer the htc sense keyboard. My suggestion, though, instead of you doing that extra work, is offering suggestions to users as alternatives. IE. Swype or something of that nature.

3) The Dialer / Phone. I completely forgot about that for when I was going to switch from sense. But again, instead of making you do extra work to port the sense one, how about just giving people alternate options? In all honesty I could help you make a list like that.

Frankly, I could probably make my whole phone sense-like if I wanted to, but I'd have to get quite a few paid apps. That's killing me because this phone is going to the drawer when the evo 3d comes out.

Here are some other thoughts: My phone is crazy fast! I get a lot of lag when using the keyboard though, not sure what that could be related to! This this is fantastic. I do miss sense widgets, but that's too grand of a task for sure. I think this theme is made in ADW.Launcher. I know that Launcher Pro Plus has essentially all the sense widgets, but their launcher looks nothing like sense. Not sure how combining the two options would go (not to mentioning paying) ^_^

Kif, I must say though, I'm very impressed. You've put your heart into this project and it SHOWS!

I'm working on the lockscreen white boxes (i just need to give them a transparent background). As for the keyboard I'm still working on finding a sense keyboard. And I'm looking for a sense phone alternative. And making the phone sense like is MUCH harder than you think but go ahead and give it a whirl, I think you'll learn a lot from it. And for getting the sense apps that is IMPOSSIBLE without porting a rom. You can only get free and/or paid alternatives. As for the speed, I told you I did a lot of changes to the source code :D This is IMO the fastest gingerbread rom for the heroc. But that's just my opinion. Keyboard lag...hmmm..that's a new issue :D Thanks for letting me know. And as for getting launcher pro combined with adw launcher so that I can still keep the sense dock & sense settings in my modded adw launcher but getting LPP's sense widgets without paying is going to be tough!!! I'll probably have to just recreate the widgets in my modded ADW launcher or create an app. But yes I spent countless days and nights going with 6 hours of sleep and sometimes 4 hours of sleep because of staying up all night and on the weekends day and night working on this rom. I really wanted this update to be awesome. But just wait until my next update ;) I can also say the same thing for my v1.5 tweak. But v1.6 is probably going to have a user interface that you can interact with in adb shell or terminal or I'll just hold out on v1.6 update for a while and make it an app in the android market and charge $0.50 for it :D That isn't to much to ask for making your heroc perform much better and making battery life last much longer while pulling more data from sprints data towers and making your phone reach your wifi's full speed and optimizing your kernel and your phone's memory. (Hehe the list of things I did in the tweak is LONG). But yeah so next things you'll see from me are an update to this rom, a froyosense port, v1.6 in adb/terminal ui format or it'll be an android app. :D So yeah i'm putting my heart into this developing thing 24/7 just for you all :D I love xda
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mccandroid:
I've found my new daily rom! Like others have said, the lack of true sense widgets and apps are the bane of this ROM, but not something I was expecting you to have accomplished. That being said, it runs smooth and has the sense icons, which look great. I think you already mentioned that others have asked for the circle clock mod for the status bar, but I just want to throw it out there again bc I think people find it really useful. I know I would.

I appreciate all the effort you've put into this rom, and I can't wait to see what else you come out with!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks and I am trying to put together a list of alternatives to the sense apps. Also I'm welcome to any apps you've found on the market freeware or payware apps that are good replacements for a certain HTC Sense app. Please if you can find a freeware and payware app replacement for a certain app. Other than that I am working on a few things for the next update which should make this all the better :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
As kifno said, jorte is good. I find it to be a bit bulky personally but combines calendar and tasks robustly. Smooth calendar will give you a clean 4x1 agenda widget. Just to be clear though, if you set the option to sync your calendar, you sync your calendar, no matter what flavor of android, and a search for agenda widget or calendar widget will provide many options. Most are free or have a free version.

~maybe I set it too high...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Pure Grid Calendar is a good option as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakedGr8:
Kif, sorry didn't want to make it sound like it's just some really easy thing, I do sincerely believe you put a LOT of time into this, and it really is fantastic! I just thought that you know, you're looking for blunt input :) As for the keyboard and apps stuff, I just thought of making maybe a list of free and paid options and alternatives for people looking for some sense-alternative options.

~ Jake
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
No hard feelings I know what you mean :D But yeah as a community we should come up with a alternatives list for those who don't know alternatives. :D

Anyone have any issues with Facebook when I go to app I just can't go into event,friends...etc keep getting fc tried fix permission still nothing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pipefitter:
keyboard

Kif,

Good job on the Rom. Had a couple of random FC's..DSP manager for one. Nothing that I can't deal with so far. I'm using Jonas IME Keyboard and it works fine. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654179. Also found a site with 150 pages of free applications.

http://www.umnet.com

Some of the applications are available on the market, but most are ones that I have been unable to find elsewhere. Beaut***l widgets, power amp, flight tracker pro...all free.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
thank you, this is perfect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Thinking I am going to give this a go tonight and try it out. :D

Is there anything that is not working with this rom at all? Like camera or anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
You and everyone else since they broke the app with the last update. Check comments in market or search Google and you'll see that Facebook just sucks as far as Android development. Release a broken update and then just don't fix it.

~maybe I set it too high...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Nope only thing that MIGHT not work for some people is DSPManager. It works for me and others but I have one report that it FC'd on someone. Other than that everything works perfectly fine :D

As for facebook not working that IS NOT my rom's fault. That is Google's fault because they released a update that broke that app and they have yet to fix it. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tmpid:
I am sorry if this question has been asked. Is this a real Sense ROM or a ROM with Sense theme? Do those ##xxxxxx# short codes work? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
This is not a "real sense" rom. This rom doesn't have all the sense widgets (missing all but clock widgets). This rom doesn't have the lockscreen unless you use widgetlocker. And it doesn't have ## codes. It doesn't have sense apps though it does have the icons. Other than that this is sense for ya :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bobloiy:
kifno, i have been expriencing ALOT of lag with the launcher. is this normal? because the lag is extreme and i cant take it. would you mind getting a new launcher like launcher pro and make it sense with the custom dockbar or something? OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOOD!!!!:D:D:D:d:d
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
Do the Sprint apps work with this e.g. Sprint Nascar, Sprint Navigation, Sprint NFL, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, etc
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Hmm what rom were you on previously? Also what other mods have you applied besides just my rom? Please list as many details as possible. Also that will be fixed in the next release :D I have an idea :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
Kifno, I dont want you to take it person but............

this ROM started to lag quickly.....

I really need a better phone dialer.....

Facebook doesnt work so I cant sync my connections...

is GengerSense going to be the OS for the 3D Evo????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Pretty sure the evo3d is going to run Gingerbread with Sense, but not like this lol

It'll be real Sense, with all the widgets and such.

On another note, I'm liking this ROM, at least in the couple of hours I've been running it. It's pretty smooth, and the theme over ADW and the system framework is well done. I kind of wish that the overshoot glow was green rather than orange, and that the Gingerbread keyboard had green highlights and suggestions also, sort of like the Androidian theme for CM7.

Also, there is sometimes a bit of lag turning on the screen if you have just turned it off manually by pushing the end-call key.

Overall, pretty good, at least so far. I haven't made any calls yet, though, so no real in-depth tests yet.

EDIT: I almost forgot, one last thing: I know this wouldn't be the easiest thing to do, as it would require some coding, but would it be possible to have the little slider/indicator that's at the bottom of the screen in Sense to tell you what homescreen you're on? I know there are similar options in ADW, but the stock Sense one always tickled my fancy. Shouldn't be a high priority, but if you can, you may as well add it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
The EVO 3D is going to be running the newest HTC Sense 3.0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
For those having lag I know the issue, even though I'm not having that Issue, just wait until next update :D It'll be awesome
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
What do you have plan for the next update
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
make it more sense like :D haha and fix lock screen buttons and lag for certain users

lag is because of my latency tweak

lock screen buttons background is because of my framework image

sense like...well just minor framework edits but every image counts right :D

Also I might release a super circle battery mod framework-res too :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Awesome looking forward for this update what happened to the link you had to download data2ext
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
i still use it but some people had issues with it so i took it down
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Would you recommend it I never had issues with it at least not that I'm aware of were can I get it data2ext
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
if you don't have issues with it I REALLY RECOMMEND IT! :D

i use it all the time and my phone is faster than ever :D

also i'd like to let everyone know....i just incorporated a sense like lockscreen into the test rom :D only thing is now I need to change the text color on the lockscreen so that it looks right :D :D :D :D :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abadasstanker69:
Is this still faux sense or did you actually rebuild sense from the ground up? Great work btw!

my signature is better than yours
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
This is full htc sense framework this is as you call it "faux" sense :D

Also thanks and as of now I'm working on the lockscreen which I almost have figured out :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
besides just flashing this ROM, are there any others suggestions to make this run smoother?

it seems to get lag the more I use it......

do I need to tweek anything

Also, what does this mean and how do you set up gapps.......

Edit: 7. After setting up gapps, in the menu > sense settings > ui setting > check tink ab and make the scale factor 1 instead of 7

8. 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)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
what you could to do to stop lag is do the following remove the 77sdcard and 98kiftweaks from /system/etc/init.d using root explorer or es file explorer or adb shell :D

also gapps = google applications

and the menu > sense....that means press menu then press sense settings and ect. this will help you get the phone set up to look completely like sense :D

any more questions i'd be more than glad to answer to the best of my ability.

- kifno :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
almost finished with htclockscreen :D

this is awesome :D i love when i learn something new XD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
That should say "tint ab", not "tink ab"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
Thanks for all the information and help......

here are a few more questions...

1. the phone dialer(can you get a smart dialer)....how do you guys use your phone dialer.

2. does facebook sync......that is huge.

3. what is the closest widget to calendar HTC????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
1. yes go into the market and get the app called "dialer one" its awesome ;)

2. as of now the facebook app is having problems BUT NOT B/C OF MY ROM. its because google released an update to the app on the market which broke it on many rom's and phones. So unless you have a backed up previous version of the app, it won't work. but if you need a previous version of the app use google :D

3. jorte (seach it in the market) :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Anyone know how to change the color of the clock and data text on the lense lockscreen style?

I have the htc sense lockscreen set as the lense lockscreen but the thing is you can barely read the clock and date text because its black. I'm working on looking through the xml files in the layout folders and i think i'm onto something :D but if you can direct me quickly then that'd be huge. also i'm working on the pattern lock i got the buttons to be sense like and fixed the white boxes now i'm just working on getting that green streak :D for the pattern lock and then i can probably release a rock steady final because i fixed all the other minor framework issues :D

this is soo close to final that i'm about to pee in my pants :D i love when i get close to an update :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
Thanks Kinfo.....always fast replies....

as for the facebook....can it sync with my contacts.....like facbook for sense???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yes and no. It can just you have to sync you're contacts manually one by one, I believe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
all set up and this ROCKS.....as for the facebook sync....it seems to work for me without doing it one by one.....

but......with the regular dialer, it syncs with facebook but no smart dialer...

with dialer one, it uses smart dialer but doesnt sync with facebook...????

and how do you make one dialer the default????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I have a problem that won't go away. When I plug in the charger or usb on pc phone goes back to the start screen and loops. Only way to stop it is to pull battery, unhook charger or usb then reboot.. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Logcat and what other mods did you do to the rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I will try and figure that out asap I should have an answer tonight
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
This is way I signed up for your class,,LoL..

s0be 2.6.35.11-ap kernal and basic google mail, romanager pre. , es file explorer, battery widget, fancy widget. I think thats all, just getting set up..

OK, found a link on how to logcat, will get one to you . Thanks..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakedGr8:
Kif you're SO GOOD omg! I might make this my daily :)

~ Jake
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Wait until I release the almost final version (which I should release tonight) if the last version was good wait until i release the sense launcher one :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
I thought this already has sense launcher
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xNotta:
I rooted my mums phone for the first time and flashed this rom.

We had soo many problems, FCs and just about every other problem you can think of.

Decided it was not worth the work to try to fix everything.

Good try though. It looked very promising.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Answer a few questions?

Do you have an htc hero CDMA?

Did you wipe everything before flashing?

Did you flash rom and gapps and that is it?

Tell me everything you did because you are the only person who has had this problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Hey everyone I need someone who is good with theming to help me out really quick. So I just finished making my sense lockscreen.png the making of the image was easy and still is but the thing is that I can't figure out the hard part. I need someone to flash my test build (which has the sense lock screen set as the lense lockscreen style in cyanogenmod settings) and find out how to rearrange the clock and date so that they are aligned correctly with the new lockscreen. Thanks a ton and you will be given credit in first post. After this I can probably release a final version of this rom in the next release after this, or maybe after this this will be the final release. :D And again thanks for your help if you help :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Kifno,

You really thinking of making this your last rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
If I can't port another rom then it just might be once I get it in final. My 2.1 android roms still have to be finalized which will be easy. But my gingersense rom isn't final yet. But once it is,my 2.1 roms will quickly be finalized and then my app will probably be the next to follow that and I might just be done and then just watch the q and a forums all day and answer as many questions as I can and continue my private teaching classes through pm :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teedo757:
Maybe today??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
could you actually get a dmesg instead of a logcat?? it would tell us what made the phone reboot.. thanks..;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
No the lock screen is going to take some time to make complete though its almost done
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teedo757:
No problem. Coming from another rom so I figured I would check before I flash :-). Thanks for the hard work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
After I release the only thing this rom will be missing is the actual apps and widget except the clock :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Thanks for the reply, I'm on another rom now and will wait till kifno sends out the next release..( gotta use my phone)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
does VVM for sprint work on this?

also kifno....you mentioned about how to go into es file> system>etc> init.d to delete two files but when I get there, they wont delete. how can i remove...77sdcard and 98kiftweaks????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
did you mount the root directory in read/write mode?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
sorry to say but I have no idea what that means.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeffjaslow:
cache to sd

First let me say your update truly ROCKS...

I love the updates and all seems to working pretty good...Question though, can I move my cache to the SD card....my internal storage space has dropped to 80 mb...

Second, which I think I know the answer, but is there anyway to get flash on this ROM?

Thanks.

Jeff
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
okay press menu > settings > root options > root explorer (check it)

then click yes

then chose cyanogen mod

then press okay

now on su popup check remember and click allow

check mount file system

press back button 2x

in the upper left hand cornder press the sd card

scroll down to system

open the folder

open the etc folder

open the init.d folder

delete 77sdcard adn 98kiftweaks and see if that solved your problem :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] waffle_:
This pisses me off because I can't make my phone look badass like that.

Can you walk through what you did...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yep. I will PM ya ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Man kifno please ingore all the mtuhafuc**** hatters. You don't have to earn anyones fuc**** respect. Man just respect your self and what you do and the rest will fall in place. Alot of these people jacking haven't released a rom or a themed rom but yet want to call you out. For what taking the time and dedication to bring something new/different?? But yet the same people are exactly the ones flashing what you bring. Huh AWAH. Gets on my nerve you made a mistake and you owned up to it. That's respectable. " themed rom or romed themed who gives a dam just flash it or don't. Good **** kifno keep doing what you do. And you are a good Developer.

Yea Its Me Again With the

Modified Hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Mostly agreed, but just for some info: jaybob413, aosp, decad3nce, cyanogen/CM team, and many others actually build from source, meaning from the ground up. They do NOT theme an existing nightly/RC. There is a big difference. Now whether they choose to build from AOSP source (which is the base for CM7 fyi, or use CM source (modified AOSP), it is still building from source. I appreciate that kifno is learning and tweaking and whatnot, really I do. But it should be known there are big differences. I could do the same thing in a little bit of time, you probably could too. Some of his build prop tweaks have been proven to "do nothing" by Steve Kondik, and many were taken from dearmasfamily. Some of his ROMs have a similar twist. I am sure he will figure it out, given his perserverance, and I can't wait to see a ROM he builds from source. But know what names you're associating before you quote them, and know what they do. I hope kifno gets his first from source ROM out soon, I have a feeling that's how he'll gain the respect he seeks. I am NOT trying to start a war, I am merely pointing out some truths. Kifno, keep it up, the more you stick around here the more you'll learn. Peace.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Dude...chill out...no one, at least not I, am a "hatter", nor am I a hater. ;)

Nowhere did I do what could be construed as "hating"...Speaking truth is not hating, and Kifino wasn't even mad. So "simma down naw". If devs want to grow, and learn they need truthful, honest feedback. Many do appreciate Kifino's work, and that's great.

What was the point of all the swearing, BTW? Didn't really make your point any stronger.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thanku7:
But, I think your feedback disappoint people who want to develop and post a ROM in this community. Please work for invigorating and boosting this community, not for deactivating.
