Try to decode the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk (both under /system/framework), then first seek the untranslated English string in res/values/strings.xml and then check where the translation is broken under res/values-ru/strings.xml. If its a translation of a specific app and a system level string, try to decode the apk for that specific app.

I really find this usb mount thing very weird. It works here with the ROM as is. Can you test doing a full wipe and installing only the HeroLatte-0.9.zip and nothing else. That should work for you. If it does not, I am really puzzled (because it really works here). If the problem persists, try to generate a logcat for me (of the clean installation), possibly there will be some clues there.

How does it work for other people?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
How does the ROM compare in performance to Tegro 2.6? I liked that ROM but I found it a bit slow at times. Switched to Floyo 1.4 for now but interested to see if this improves on Tegro?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
It's very strange that I can't change the lock screen picture...

Tried "Mode -> Change your mode -> Lock Wallpaper" and "Gallery -> Set as -> Lock screen". They all reported successful, however the lock screen remains the picture of Nest theme. Did I miss something or it sounds like a defect?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I see your point. The actual lock screen remains the original one. Will try to look into that as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sleepymonk:
Just had to say thanks for this rom..I love it been using it for last few hours.

No lag here and had load of calls and message. used a far amount of internet and still have loads of battery life.

only problem ive had is the lock screen picture not chaneing but that not a problem for me as i dont stay on the screen that long,

used the gps and bluetooth and both working fine.

Camera working and its nice not having the beep as it always makes me jump.

Thanks again and small donation on the way in next few days
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
i jus did a full wipe and flashed the rom again still getting only the USB debuggin notifications i'll probably give u a logcat in the night...

by the way offlate i've been too lazy to delete apps on my sd-ext partition kinda annoying to restore them all the time so i format everythin else except sd-ext and sdcard using clockwork then flash a new rom helps me save tym on restoring :D

is this a problem though???as in generally??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sleepymonk:
hi again... as im new to this i was just woundering if anyone else has a problem with playing videos via youtube or video ive made (My kids playing ect).

If i play video via my memory the gallary app opens and seems to sit there and doesnt do anything then after a few minutes i get a message saying sorry this video cannot be played. all my video were recorded via htc hero/wildfire orignal stock software

if i try and play youtube stuff i get a message saying there is a problem while playing, touch to retury ..so i touich screen and it comes back with same messages.

No problem with usb here. works fine with sync, disk drive and charge
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
Thanks for the ROM Erasmux.. I can see that this one has great potential.. It is fast and makes the mobile feel more powerful.

The only things that I noticed:

In the beggining it has some lags, they go off after a while

The notification and lockscreen do not slide well, they need some effort

The overall smoothness can be improved

Some graphical glitches (like the black screen you get before opening some apps e.g. Internet)

Mind that I use launcher pro so most of the lag in sense is gone for me :)

Youtube hd works great

Looking forward to new updates,

Cheers

Are u gonna publish flykernel 12b some time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
If you read in the Floyo topic you can see what the differneces are, and well they are only 1 setting. Wich you can change yourself, I believe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
Ok man, thanks!

Tbh I always flash Flykernel 12pre5 instead of 12a or others, it is the smoothest of all... confirmed many times over different roms..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
hi, i found a little bug.

When i used google maps en close it, gps is still active ( the icon ), you have to reboot your device to close it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kriso89:
compared to non sense froyo how is the lag ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
compairing to floyo, this one lags some around, but not like its deadly or something for normal use. Some people say its bad, well stock is not smooth either, and if you want everything smooth :P get a new phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schlehdorn:
For me, only the homescreen is laggy. Everything else is smooth.

The theme of the sms-app is a lil bit ugly and i have to scroll to read the last line.

For recieved sms the trackball led flashes only one time :/

Great Rom Erasmux! Didn't thought about having a fully functional Android 2.2.1 Rom with Sense :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
First I have added to the main post:

It seems that the "hack" necessary to use a dalvik version which supports JIT, breaks setting the lockscreen wallpaper and possibly also causes other bugs (although it does not seem to effect the other known issues I have listed). This update will restore the dalvik version of the original ROM, which except for lower linpack values, seems to perform well.

My impressions from this ROM after using it for almost a week:

The good: For me this ROM is very stable and with excellent battery life :D.

The bad: I am quite disappointed with the overall performance of this ROM :(. I am left with a general feeling of laginess while using this ROM - especially in the sense launcher, like also mentioned by some users.

I still hope to reach, at the very least, version 1.0 with this ROM. Since the release of 0.9 I haven't had time to work on this and I will be away for the next two weeks. I will continue to work on this when I am back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kriso89:
the rom feels good, hasnt restarted yet and no fc :) can you add notification power wiget, cuz its really handy ;] i dont know if its a bug of just the rom beying slow but when i slide the lockscreen, first time always fails..... oh and camera zoom does not work but i dont think any one uses it :P :D ;]

Im about to flash the fix for the lockscreen wallpaper do i have to wipe anything ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
About the lockscreen update just do a dalvik wipe (full wipe not necessary).

About the camera, I don't think the hero camera supports zoom. Does the official 2.1 Sense support camera zoom?

The lockscreen is a bit weird, you need to pull it all the way down. Don't know why they did it like this. As far as I know this how it is in the original ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kriso89:
it been so long sinse i`ve been on the official rom that i forgot :D but i thing it had

lol the gps is working better than ever and wifi also( to compate with cronos gb(or other gb of froyo rom) i had 50% signal and now its like 90%:)))) ) and the gps barely connected and now its .... unbelievable :]]]]]]]]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea, official 2.1 has digital zoom. so in other words it's zoom done in the software, not real camera-dependent lens moving zoom. so the hero doesn't need to support it for it to work. But that's not important since nobody really needs digital zoom anyway - it only degrades the picture quality - you can digital zoom in photoshop later anyway at higher quality if needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kriso89:
is there any way to disable sim contacts cuz its a real mess ? i`v chose to hide them but they still apear in the calllog then someone calls, and 1 time its the number from google the next time the sim number
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CGeyser:
Can you please re-enable JIT or have a clear lockscreen?

With JIT off, I can't adjust the CPU values, nor can I uninstall system apps. I need root access!

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
Sorry, but i do not understand, why 2.3 roms are developed for Hero. For fun?

All developers together should make one good stock 2.2 ROM

Why should jump higher than you own ass? Relationt of software/hardware can't be as high as it should be.

Help Erasmux / Elinux / Pulser / Ninpo (+....) with ideas for one good usable Froyo ROM. This hardware is strong enough to be alive with honor

Ok

Try scrolling

Floyo 2.2

LP

Cache type: light

Cache type: Moderate

CM settings: Keep homescreen in memory

I have aviable to play with SGS2 & SE Arc every day. I still think Hero is very ok hardware build and cheap spare parts. I haven't found yet new Android phone to buy. I have compared those Super amo**** screens in the summer sun. Hero scren is ok, SGS ir 'energy saving screen' with no white color and same greasy screen symptoms
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CGeyser:
Well artursc, for one thing, there are several apps that can't be found in the 2.2 marketplace. Secondly, there are some nice features in 2.3 that aren't in 2.2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
why did you post this exact same complaining post in this 2.2 sense thread as you did in JieeD's 2.3 sense rom thread? YOU KNOW THIS ROM'S DEVELOPER WROTE FLOYO??

this isn't even a 2.3 sense rom, it's a 2.2 sense rom.

How moronic are you? You already had complaints about your post that would have made any sensitive and compassionate person realize how poor an impression they made. Why are you continuing to inflicting this on yourself in this thread?

Your questions were answered already in the other thread. You already know the answers why people write these roms and how incorrect you are when assuming there is no teamwork between the developers.

NOT TO MENTION THIS ROM WAS CREATED BY ERASMUX, ONE OF THE PEOPLE YOU SAID THIS ROM'S DEVELOPER SHOULD TEAM UP WITH.

Sad, pathetic. leave now before I call team CM to rant on your ass.

;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
+1 nice one.. :)

so sad people dont understand...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
felt good :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TnTonly:
Great work. This is undoubtly the best Rom I have ever used. It is beautiful, fast and stable and running Android 2.2. Even the camera works mostly flawlessly now. This could easily be able to replace my official rom to be used daily. Thanks a lot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kriso89:
when i patch the rom with the wallpaper fix it looses root, i mean setcpu, titanium backup and other that want root dont work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
this happened to me also. i flashed SuperUser and everything works fine again. Is anyone experiencing lag on unlocking screen? i need to swipe it 3 or 4 times to get it unlocked... at first is no big deal but in time it gets really annoying... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
another thing... is it possible to reduce the texting screen on the sms thread? it really is big...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sacpe25:
Great rom love 2.2 but is their any way to get any of this skins working

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1048894

Tried to install but saying something about packing. thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
two little bug fixed and this is for me the best rom ever, thanks erasmux :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
does anyone feel the same on the sms thread? the texting box is too big... wish this could be solved...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rozitg:
@erasmux can you fix the root problem and unlock screen lag in newest update of this rom ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Hey guys,

I've been running herolatte for a couple days now and the pros far outweigh the negatives of this rom.

All issues are known of course, but all that really bothers me is the lockscreen bug. IF that can be fixed then this rom is surprisingly complete and reliable.

it has the standard froyo on hero issue with the market. every froyo rom I've used forever has had market issues that don't exist in 2.1 and 2.3 roms. it's not the market, it's froyo. but it's also not this rom so I think we just have to accept that it can take hours to get a market download sometimes.

huge pros for this rom:

- some very nice sense features and themes

- AMAZING battery life imho, vastly superior to most other roms I've tried recently including 2.2, 2.1 and 2.3 roms, sense and cm based.

- solid performance on many games etc

very nice sense features not found elsewhere such as a much improved clock app and much improved contact/people app and dialer features.

minor cons that exist in some other roms too but not all:

- playing a game like Armoured Strike work almost well enough but not really controllable very easily... but it can be used. by comparison, many hero roms perform equal to this one for this game, JieeHD's 2.3 sense rom performs much better in this game (which is odd but cool - it's virtually perfect), and some roms perform much worse (2.1 cm roms specifically).

- unlock screen issues cause some things to be hard to control at times, like answering calls or turning off alarms, but most often those things work just fine in this rom.

I'm so happy with this rom - if the lockscreen issues can have some magic power sprinkled upon them by Eran then life will be amazing :-)

still using it even as is though

cheers

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who think this ROM has potential. Unfortunately, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue developing this ROM. My studies currently leave almost zero time available for android development. I will try to find time to release a final version of Floyo (which is my daily ROM).

If any developer is interested in continuing work on this ROM, I will do what I can to help him.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
Yes if a dev like JieeHD continues work on this ROM (or preferably the one with the normal sense hero interface like ChocolateFroyo for example) then we are not far from having a very decent 2.2 sense for our phones.. this one has lots of potential and it is not so heavy for our Heros like SalsaSense or CM7 is... the memory seems fine!

the battery is also very good like Dkelley stated!

the only real bug is the lockscreen.. it is a dealbreaker because the only thing that we do every time we use our phones is unlocking or answering the phone so...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
So what are the actual bugs in this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
the rom has some lags, isn't fast as the chocolatefroyo (a froyo sense rom for the hero), but here camera work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rozitg:
@iHero96 + root problem after instaling newest version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
-by me when i use gps and then close the app gps icon stays on

- needs some speed improvements ( lag in sense )

-Lockscreen wallpaper doesn't change ( only be able to change the lockscreen background in /system/customize/resource/ and then upload a image there named htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg.)

Maybe someone have the time and skills to update chocolatefroyo whith the resources of this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
This was fixed, see the dalvik update on the first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
Sorry missed that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
yes, but that fix break root access :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
It has nothing to do with root access. I am pretty sure that fix does not break root access. Try a clean install, verify that you do have root access, then install only this fix alone, and verify that you still have root access.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
When I was on this, the update did not break root for me. It worked just fine..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
Honestly, i don't remember what i did when i flashed the update, but, as i do always full wipe, i assumed was a bug, reading in this thread of other people with the same problem also. will try again :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, so let's try answering JieeHD's question again with some facts.

bugs I've found (and are real):

- lockscreen seems to start in an unresponsive state often but not always, and when ti does it can take a second or severla seconds to become responsive. sometimes it takes several drags to get it to respond but I'm not sure if the drags make it respond or if it simply takes time. this is the most important bug for sure.

- there are occasional very noticeable slowdowns.... sounds like the sort of thing you specialize in fixing JieeHD, like it or not ;-)

- in games like Armored Strike, the screen is very unresponsive. In salsasense the screen is super responsive. this may be a kernel thing, I don't know, because I find the screen to also be very unresponsive in the same game in elelinux's froyo speedmachine v4 rom too. But since the game is fully functional and runs great in your 2.3 sense rom, it's a very good and consistent benchmark imho for comparing against other roms. Obviously there's a hangup somewhere in screen responsiveness that is pretty serious for some roms. Again keep in mind, I haven't tried any alternate kernels for the roms that experience the very slow (unplayable pretty much) touch responsiveness in that particular game. Many other games don't exhibit this issue by the way. I just happen to adore that game LoL.

- I seem to recall a couple of features not working correctly but I can't remember what, I'm sure others will tell you.

With regard to ChocolateFroyo, which was the first semi-successful froyo sense rom for hero, it was a nice rom but had borked camera and maybe other borked bits. If perchance that rom could be fixed with the cam from this rom (unlikely, I know...) then that would give us a fully functional and quite useful froyo sense daily driver.

Personally I like this rom's sense features better than chocolatefroyo, but either way it woudl be great to have at least one that works and is quick.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
Im wondering if the lockscreen issue might be kernel related. Maybe the screen isnt switching frequencies fast enough?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
Tried again this morning:

full wipe (factory, cache, dalvik)

install the rom (everytihng works ok, apart the lockscreen wallpaper)

wipe cache and dalvik

flash the dalvik patch

lockscreen fixed, but root access lost (tested with various apps)

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I've tried different kernels with this rom without any dramatic improvements in lockscreen. I did get improvements in game touchscreen responsiveness so yes, that nasty flykernel 12 has to go, but unfortunately with all of hte other kernels I tried (fly 11c, the latest .47 and .50 kernels) everything ran fine except the lockscreen was still slow and also wifi didn't work with any of the other kernels. although I don't recall for sure if wifi works with the original kernel in this rom...

it does seem like the dalvik patch solves the lockscreen problem according to that one user.... so if that plus root access can be worked out then maybe we're onto something. however things like wifi and gps and bluetooth will have to be confirmed with the dalvik patch as well. and then a different kernel needs to be used so certain games work properly (like armoured strike) which means the wifi problem with alternate kernels in this rom will have to be solved.

Best of luck to JieeHD in fixing this stuff! I hope it can be done.... it's a very cool rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, I tried the dalvik patch myself. results:

- lockscreen is no better than it was with alternative kernels before. you still sometimes have to wait for the lockscreen text to change to display your provider (or whatever) before it will respond. so it does NOT fix the lockscreen lag bug.

- it DOES remove root. not good. so don't use the dalvik patch please guys.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
so I was right from the beginning, and erasmux was saying it was not possible....testing stuff before releasing, or at least listen to users that not always are noobs as someone believes would be great! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
First of all, let me say that regardless of whether the dalvik fix causes root to be lost or not, if I have given you or anyone else the feeling that I don't value their opinions or that they are noobs (which btw should not matter, and I am interested also in the opinions of noobs) this was not my intention and especially if I offended you I apologize for it.

I do generally test everything I release, and especially after a release I can spend hours a day just "supporting" my release on XDA. This specific issue was tested before I released it and I wrote what I wrote as my phone was running HeroLatte 0.9 + this fix and had working root. Other users have also confirmed this (see a couple of pages back in this thread). I understand that you aren't the only one with this issue, and from a practical standpoint, when reading kelly's post earlier today I really thought that I need to somehow find the time for another release to at least fix this issue....

Now think for a second from my point of view, as I am considering how can I find the time to make a final version of HeroLatte (which I will never use btw), I need to read your remark above which is trying to convince me to do what? Please lets not make a big deal about this, I am writing all this only to make this point (to all users):

please consider carefully before you write negative feedback which is personally aimed at any developer.

That said, my current top priority is to finish Floyo 1.4 which is the ROM I am using, but hopefully I will have time in the not so far future to also give this ROM a final version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
cool, i was not offended at all, and I always appreciate your work and the time that (for free) all of you developers spend to make/fix rom and to listen to the moans of all of us :D

My negative feedback toward you was considered very well, and I'm still of the same opinion for that particular case, but that doesn't stop me to think that you are a very good developer.

And, I reported the bug (again) 3 days ago, and only after my today's post you answered, only after the "negative feedback", and not on the bug, that was "impossible" to happens: that's just make my thought stronger :)

Anyway, it's not a big deal, i love this rom and i will be back to it til the end of my contract when it's gonna be fixed.

Peace :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I thought it was clear:

a. Not all users suffer from this supposed "bug". I am in the group that can not reproduce this bug, hence it is a bit hard for me to address it directly.

b. Practically, I think that releasing a new version, which will include the fix and root and if I have time more fixes/improvements all wrapped up in a clean package, should make it finally work even for "problematic" people like you :p.
