Kifno... just add the CM7 word to your OP and note that this is not built from the ground up to stop all the retarded backlashing going on so we can get on with testing and whatnot. I mean really... this is retarded. If people don't have something to say pertaining to this build... they should keep their mouths shut (other than maybe they think you are misrepresenting what you have offered here on your thread by your description of what is is which you have pretty much fixed already in the OP). This is the kind of crap that runs DEV's off... having to deal with BS that absolutely DOES NOT MATTER. That's all I'm saying about this... (now can I have my last 5 minutes back from having to vent about pointless postings?... thanks) I'm obviously an idiot and know nothing about who does what in this forum as so pointed out to me.

...and I, for one, can say his build.prop v1.0 has helped my 3G speed where I am located and with my phone. That's "proven" enough for me and not based on what someone else has said about it. Thanks.

Maybe change the thread name to [CM7 ROM+Extension] or [CM7+SenseLikeUI] as it is more than just an overlay.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Whoa, I guess I should've put more sugar in my post. I was merely giving some info, not being retarded. Nor was I trying to bash you. I didn't say his tweaks did nothing, I said "some" of his tweaks. Also, I don't think he needs to change his title anymore. Also, there are plenty of devs who don't build from source that are a great asset to the community, like those who port ROMs from other devices and tweak them, or those who create completed themed roms. I appreciate them as much as any other dev, I was merely pointing out a difference. I apologize for having offended you, it was not my intention. I believe my post was clear enough in regards to my opinion of kifno, so I will leave that be. I really hope more people continue to dev the heroc, it really is a lot of fun. Have a good day, I hope school treats you well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
I like sugar. :) No hard feelings. I understand where you are coming from also...

Damn... I just got my AOSPGB all set back up and now I guess I'm going to have to give this a try to see what's what in comparison. I wish a had a nickle for every time I've rebuilt my phone... I'd be a millionaire. :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
That seems easy....ill mess with the apps and framework :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks for the support I will continue working hard on our heroes :) :)

Pm me picture I didn't get to see
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Again thanks for the support everyone :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Will do...gotta get to the computer. All I did was quickly edit a Sense dock png and toss it on my homescreen with LPP ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I was going to release this Rom by building from source lol that is too easy. Thing is that virtualbox and usb on my windows 7 desktop don't play well bc I still can't figure out how to get usb and and shell to work in virtualbox ubuntu. If I could then I could build from source bc I need adb to compile from source. So believe me once I figure that out ill be compiling from source bc its easy that is the one issue I have now :)

As for the tweaks that do nothing they are removed in v1.1 and so are dearmasfamlies tweaks bc I want it to be strictly my work. So nothing else to say there.

Again I will compile from source ASAP once my usb issue is solved :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Lol I rarely ever get mad its fine. I like that and all other feedback bc it makes me want to develope and release my best work even more. But it also is what makes me improve it as well, it gives me that push to learn and do better and hopefully one day release my ultimate project. One that will be loved by all with only positive comments bc it is flawless..but that day is far away but it will come one day and soon :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I will fix title...again lol and glad to see you like my v1.0 tweak :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Read my post about compiling from source :) and I love/hate school. And fun = development for the heroc :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I like sugar and strawberries :) but I would be a millionaire too lol, nos billionaire :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Hey read my post about compiling from source
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
The one a few posts up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
there is flash on the rom :D

if you're talking about watching videos on the web the use the opera mobile browser (not opera mini)

and they load pretty fast too :D

as for moving cache to sd card...ya know i was gonna move dalvk-cache to sd card but i dont' know everyone's sd card speed so i assumed it was class 2 and didn't do it but you can. if you want to know how let me know :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kijp15:
I've using your rock steady and its awesome. Lol. Thanks kifno.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks :D wait until the update :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
Thank you, as usual you are very fast with replies.....do you ever sleep????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xNotta:
Yes it's a Sprint HTC Hero CDMA.

Everything was wiped multiple times.

Only the Rom and the GApps from the first post were flashed.

Actually got a ton of FCs when the setup on first startup ran, before we even touched anything.

I just think it is not tolerating AOSP roms very well, so it probably isn't just this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Nope I'm almost always on xda :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Maybe. Logcat for me just in.case I'm able to fix somethings for ya to run the rom :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeffjaslow:
Yes...it would be great to know how to move the cache to the SD...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
I had my first issue today my lockscreen wouldn't work I would swipe and wouldn't even read that had to take battery out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Logcat it :D Usually a logcat helps me get things solved for other people MUCH MUCH FASTER
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
If you use amon_ra recovery just move it that way :D

or i can try to create a script that'll move the dalvik-cache directory to an ext partition :D

but i wouldn't recommend it unless you have a fast sd card
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Kifno

How would I do logcat about the lockscreen issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
~

adb shell

logcat > C:/logcat.txt

if on windows :D

if on linux

adb shell

logcat > ~/Desktop/logcat.txt

:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jeffjaslow:
When you say there is flash on the ROM...What does that exactly mean?

Can FLV and SWF streaming files be played on this ROM...So far I have not been able to find any browser that will play FLV or SWF. I have also downloaded the adobe showcase to test if that application can find a the flash file and it does not.

I have also tried installing flash 10.1 and 10.2 but even though they install nothing recognized it...I tried to go back to the flash lite version but that is HTC Sense specific...Am I doing something wrong or does adobe flash not really exist in this ROM.

I have also re-flashed the 4/21 rom a number of times to see if that would fix the problem. Any suggestions or comments would be apprectiated.

Ultimately I would like to play swf streaming files from ORB to continue watching HULU and my own tv on the HTC Hero...As of yet it looks like I will need to flash alternate HTC Sense ROMs to do that.

Thanks for any help.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
Flash will never be able to run on our Hero's. It's a hardware problem. If you really want Flash you have to get a newer phone with Flash support.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
There is not flash on this rom. There can never be full flash for any hero rom, as flash requires an Arm 7 processor to run. Flash lite is on this rom, but that is far from full flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
That's what I meant. The flash we have...it only goes as far as playing youtube/online video on certain sites. That's about it :D So much for the heroc, but I love it :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
camera

Hey.....everything is working great, even the camera but.......does it have the delay setting. I need to take a picture of myself and there is no 10 second delay.......

any other app that might have it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
there are many camera apps on the market :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Hey kifno had issues with your tweak2.0 on this Tom kept freezing on market and on boot so I decided to try the no latency 768 tweak on gingersense and been running like a champ thanks for the hard work ....how's the update for gingersense coming along
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
ITS HARD! I'm trying to port over the lockscreen and lock pattern but at first it was easy but the last few parts I'm doing are the toughest. But its apart of the learning process :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Hang in there I'm sure you will figure it out keep up the great work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] henrythrower:
Am I the only one who loses settings when I reboot?

Everytime I reboot, I have to reset my wallpaper, change my keyboard back to shapewriter and a couple of other things. Is there anyway to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
logcat it ....you're the first to report this problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] old.ghost:
Does this ROM support Simplified Chinese? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
This question can be answered with a question.

Does CM7 support simplified chinese? If so, so does this rom :D I'll check for you though.

EDIT: in the language & keyboard settings chinese isn't in there :( I'll add it for you if i can figure it out really quick :D also an update is coming soon :D i almost got the stock lockscreen right :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
who would like to see "kifno"genmod 7? it basically the latest cm7 but with the same changes i apply to gingersense to make it amazingly fast. if so then this thread will have both roms on it :D

also gingersense is getting an update tonight :D i'm uploading right now :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Update tonight can't wait!!! So you will be uploading both roms cm7 and ginersense
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
i don't know if people want "kifno"genmod.....so i might not if no one says they want it

but if i can get a few people to say yes i'll spend the extra 5 minutes uploading it :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
From OP:

Are you telling me this is actually HTC sense? Because I'm pretty sure this is CM7 themed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
It is themed lol :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
finished the update :D check the change log :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
You have to build with the full base instead of the small base to get Chinese support. See the relevant commit from when we switched to small base.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks hey jason did you get pm? If you just want to send links or general topics to look for thanks :D Anything is better than nothing jason :D Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
From jason's sig:

So he may not have gotten it ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Oh thanks impaler :D and sorry jason :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Tried update all I got was boot loops it would load up them just keep rebooting
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
re-uploading now give me 5 minutes. i think i found a minor problem :(

while i'm doing that you should reboot recovery and wipe everything right now :D

EVERYTHING except the sdcard

and use clockwork mod please :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
okay try it again :D its just finished cooking, gingersense fresh out the oven :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Alright trying now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
It should work now because i'm running it myself :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
So far so good now I can enjoy this rom thanks kifno now can't wait for your other tweak 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Got it running on my phone, should run on anybodys.. Looks good, thanks kifno..:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Kifno,

I finally was going to give your work a try and your 5/1 version (just downloaded) comes back as failing sig...come on man what's the deal?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
In the first post it clearly states to use clockwork mod recovery. Please do so thanks :D

edit: edited first post to make that clear :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Or you could just sign the zip. Then it will flash fine.

#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
True...hey laie have you tried it :D 5/1 is awesome

also i'll be releasing kifnogen tomorrow :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Nope not yet. Might give it a shot in a few days though. I always like options.

#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
It is not that your post was not clear, it is that you isolate all of us old school RA users by doing so. I realize that I can sign the file myself and flash but I am sure a lot of new users understand the process. I have read a lot of the banter in a few of the forums and do feel you have received the short end of the stick a few times. You can rise above this by making a product available to all users and let them choose if they want to use it or not. Personally it is your choice but there are a few of us who dislike Clockwork for reasons that I will not get into.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
You do have a valid point. I agree about making zips for multiple recoveries instead of making just one version.

@ Kifno your skills are more than adequate to do this. Also it would take only a few extra seconds. If you want I'll do it for you if you send me the zips before you post them to save you some time. After all I have used most of your bp mods so it can be my way of saying thanks for the speed increase.

Lost Settings problem logcat Part 1

I fixed it. See below
[Hero CDMA Android Development] henrythrower:
Settings Reboot Problem Part 2 (Sorry so long)

I fixed it. I moved the apps that were not loading into the internal memory. Problem solved. Thank you for being willing to page through 58,541 characters to find the problem. I hope that you had not started to read through it yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I did its alright lol because I found it buddy. But hey it was a way for me to learn more :D

So if I see that same problem I can tell someone how to fix it :D

Also the signed rom is up now :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Dont leave the heroo communityy..

ii was readingg ur plans/goals and started to tear :'[
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I wont leave until I finish them. ;)

- kifno
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Been running 5-1 since it hit the streets and so far, no problems and battery life looks excellent, Thanks again kifno..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
OR you could just sign it, and it will work on both.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I already did a few hours ago before you posted this. :)

- Kiifno
[Hero CDMA Android Development] henrythrower:
Now that I fixed it, I am officially in live with this rom. Fast, elegant, looks like sense without the bloat. Thank you for your art... it's a masterpiece.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks

- Kifno
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
Be gentle is this has been asked but..............

if I already have your last ROM, can I just flash the new one or do I have to wipe ..etc.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

Thank you for signing the file...I was going to do it last night but saw that you went ahead and did it. At first glance this seems very nice. One quick question for you is how did the person who posted the pic of a Quadrant score over 500 achieve this? I do apologize because I know it is listed somewhere whithin your thread but I have a newborn screaming in my ear and free-time (research time) is non-existing at the moment. I love sense and anything that looks like it, thanks for your continued work.

Cheers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Be gentle,,LoL, I know what you mean.. I tried that and it didn't work for me, I think the latest rom is too different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Always backup then wipe to be on the safe side
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Glad to see you like it

Yeah always wipe to be safe
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kinextions:
ok, one more quick question.

how can I load this ROM without having to reload all my apps?

everything else reloads (contacts...etc.) but I always have to reload my market apps.

any way???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
download "dialer one."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
You can't. Use Titanium Backup or something similar to back up your user apps, then reinstall them after flashing the ROM. That'll work for any ROM, not just this one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
I use "MyBackup Root" and backup all my apps so you can easily restore them all at once. I will note that I do not backup the data for the apps, just the APKs from the menu selection. Titanium Backup has always given me problems here and there so I abandoned it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I can write you a script to back up the .apk files to your sd card that you run manually in terminal by typing:

sh /sdcard/backup-apps.sh

;)

If you want it let me know. Or anyone else I'll happily type one ;) although it'll only backup the internal storage apps

EDIT: Im learning to make apps so I can probably make this an app for next release :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Is there a reason this "Steel My Elegence HTC IME Keyboard" won't work with rocksteady , it starts to flash then aborts.. Just curious.. or is there another keybord with mic. that'lll run on this rom.. BTW its been "RockSteady" :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
TouchPal Dialer is much better than dialer one IMO
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Can't you just dl voice search from the market??? I think It should automatically integrate the mic on whatever keyboard your using.

#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Thanks, that works, I just lik the looks of the steel keyboard..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Is it still force closing??? If so how are you installing it???

#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
What exactly was force closing? I thought he said that installing the voice search from the market intergrated the mic? but besides that if you really want that keyboard to work please post a logcat of the installation portion of the apk file and i can work some magic ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
"kifno"genmod is in the works tonight (probably a release ;) ) as well as minor framework changes to rocksteady

but first i need to keep reading my bash and java books for a while longer
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Thanks Kifno, I'm working on it (logcat that is).

I got it working, thanks .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
I don't know what it was eaither this rom or your 2.0 tweak it was freezing and every time I push back key I would get the black screen of death I would have to take battery out the it would come back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
i removed the v2.0.1 tweak because it broke a few services, but v3.0.0 will be released anywhere from 1-4+ weeks from now just because i'm going to be doing a lot of behind the scenes testing with a few heroc vets i know ;)

as for this rom....its ALMOST in final i just have a few more things to do to it and you'll see what i mean when the next release comes out soon...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Best sense dialer ever imo, contapps dialer. There was also a nice looking beta on xda called my dialer t9. Also for those of you who want the sense widgets, easily the closest I've found is colorize widget pro.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks I'll add an sense app/widget alternative soon :)

Also I'm going to upload kifnogenmod tonight everyone. That's what I've been working so after the release I'll work on gs again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
did you see the sense 3.0 lock screen?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054444

i haven't tried it yet just seen it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Doesn't work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Probably because it states it doesn't work with CM or AOSP-based roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
it says non gingerbread or asop.

Don't think it'll install on non gingerbread or aosp (haven't tried) Works by just installing as well on some Ginger Roms, some will also need to restart to see it function.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
"This is the HTC lockscreen so I'm sure it's not going to work on AOSP ROMs since there's probably dependencies in the HTC framework. And it's probably not going to work on the leaked GB Evo ROM either since it's the old Sense 1.0. This probably needs at least Gingerbread Sense 2.1 to work. It's working fine for me on MikG 2.1 on the exception of the shortcuts."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
I read that I thought oostah was saying to use it for this rom :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Problem with phone calls.

This is a screen shot of an error I get when making/receiving a phone call. This box pops up, sometimes locks up the phone and I have to pull the battery. Calls go thru ok, :confused: Any ides how to fix ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
You do know you could simply flash official CM7, or aospCMod, and then apply a sense theme from the theme chooser app, right?

CM7 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=984702

Theme Chooser (look for "sense") : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056292
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Yes , thanks. I support Kevin and admire what he's doing here, wanted him to see this and possibly fix .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, this would probably eliminate any bugs that come from using kifno's theme here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] prattleon:
i switched to this rom (well, the one prior to the latest release), because CM7 (gingerbread) was terribly laggy and buggy. I tried several versions, with similar results. this rom is far superior. i actually don't even use the sense theme. i installed launcher pro. this is just so much faster, smoother, and less buggy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Agreed, I switched to this rom and stayed with it for the same reason.. If you haven't tried it , you should..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Interesting, seeing as this is CM7 with a theme over it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Have you tried this rom ? Just curious..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
This ROM is built right on top of the CM7 source. As CM7 improves, so does this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Aren't most of them ? or which ones aren't ? Thanks. Sorry for being off topic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Exactly. I don't have to try it; it is CM7 with a theme. But to be fair and answer your question, no I have not :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Although that is true, this is more than cm7 with a theme. It has other "secret" things I've applied to make it faster than all other gingerbread roms for the heroc IMO and MANY others. Which is why I'm about to release kifnogen, it's this rom but improved even more. I'll explain it later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Why don't you submit some of these "secret" things to Gerrit so we can all benefit from them?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Okay how would I do that? What is gerrit?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Howto: Git and Howto: Gerrit
