[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
First I added my sense sense account:

*menu* -> settings -> accounts & sync -> add account -> htc sense

sign up for that :)

after that I pressed the customization icon(you know the pallet and pencil thing) I went to skins, and pressed get more, then I downloaded music lover and it downloaded and installed.. I was on wifi though maybe that was the problem?(first i was on 3G)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
oh and live wallpapers are working :)

applyed one last night, and when I woke up, it was still active ^^

it's name is "cube live wallpaper" it's a very small one.. 32 KB i believe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
still cant seem to get it to work, signed up for htc sense and im on wifi and it still only completesthe download. did it install straightaway or did you have to wait a while?

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
hmmm no it applied pretty much directly after i installed the theme :/

I'll make some photo's as I think some ppl might not believe me.. hang on :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
is there any other options you changed or any other steps you went through?, i believe you done it, just no idea how haha :p

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
hmmm... I overclocked my device to 691.. I don't believe it that is the problem though :/

uhmm maybe try wiping cache + dalvik? and retry?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
okay, will try that just now and report back :).

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
:D

I can also take a look if the .apk file/theme file is in my phone, rip it out and upload it against htc's will :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
photo's incoming...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
How's the smoothness and quickness in this ROM? Is it as quick as Gingerbread has gotten these last days?

Also, can we look forward to an update this day, bonesy? :rolleyes: Looking forward to test!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Great to see work still being conducted for the HERO :-) I'm really looking forward to try this ROM :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
overall it's pretty smooth, but it has it's lag moments, like the statusbar is pretty laggy, and sometimes it lags while scrolling trough things, but overall it's pretty nice ^^

Though, I overclocked mine to 691 this might be the smoothness ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
well that didnt work lol, cant think what the problem is, im gonna have a play around and see if i can sort it. thanks for all your help :D

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Here are the skin .apk's and apply them by follow this small tutorial:

- Make a folder called ".data" on the root of your sdcard

- In the ".data" folder make a folder called "HtcSkins"

- In the folder "HtcSkins" put the attached .apk files and you should be fine :)

If it doesn't work, try rebooting your phone ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Seeing those skins, makes me wonder if I'll eventually be using Sense on my Hero again soon ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
thanks for that ybinnenweg, works perfectly now :D. bonesy should post your guide in the OP for others who have this problem. now i can install all the skins from that massive thread :cool:

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Is SD card working now, iv checked 1st post cant see any change ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
sd card works using riemers kernel :).

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
great :D

and how did you install the skins from that thread? O.o I only managed to get some fkin huge .zip files of 30+ mb lol

edit:

nvm didn't look very well :P now I see the .apk files :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
the skins came as apk attatchments and ive just installed them using your method. maybe you will be able to just install them normally? :). i think the zip files may contain all the apks?, im not sure as i downloaded the attatchments.

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
There will be an update at some point today XD Fix's bluetooth,rotate (possibly GPS?) a few kernel tweaks to speed it up..

Also turn off auto sync and put a sync widget instead and its not so laggy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
yeey!

great work!

And maybe put my little tutorial on page 10 at the OP? That's how you can apply the default themes ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
yeah i flashed the kernal first then the rom, so i thought i did, but think the rom over flashed over it, iv done it now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
the skins in the skin thread dont seem to be working using that method, works with default though :). we will find another way ybinnenweg! :p

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
hmm yeah I also just tried, they don't showup :/ also not after installing them, and another weird thing I noticed, is that the htc themes also don't work very well, you don't get the exact look as on the small preview picture :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
i think the problem is in the skin.db file as the value is set to -1, cant test it as i dont have anything to edit it with :/

EDIT: skin.db can be found at /data/data/com.htc.skinscanner/databases.

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Sounds like it'll be fully working then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
nope we still need the camera and camrecorder

and I think maybe some speed improvements?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Still no camera, im trying to put the stock camera from CM7 into it but its not playing ball :( atm im booting up using the 2.6.29 kernel instead to try that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
we all knew the camera would be tough to crack bonesy, so we will all wait patiently and see what you can do.

really appreciate the work youre doing, loving my hero more than ever atm! :D

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Somebody can explain me in simple english why we can't simply push camera libaries from AOSP rom into this 2.3 Sense rom? Sense rom it's normal rom + modded framework, apps ets so why these libaries aren't working? I don't understand this ;/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
i think sense modifies more than just the framework and apps, but im not sure in what ways :/

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
okay just went to the cyanogenmod IRC to ask if it was possible:

[13:39] <YBinnenweg> Well there is currently a android 2.3.3 rom for the htc hero with Sense UI, I know you guys don't offer 'support' for the Sense UI, but I'd like to ask if it's possible to get the cyanogenmod camera working on a Sense UI rom as it is open-source
[13:40] <blunden> technically it should be possible
[13:40] <blunden> though you won't find anyone that will do it
[13:41] <blunden> since nobody in here cares about sense roms
[13:41] <YBinnenweg> i know that, I just wanted to know if it was possible :)
[13:41] <YBinnenweg> do you know if it's a 'easy' process? or does it really need loads of work?
[13:43] <blunden> well, if it's a sense rom I would assume that it's a pretty ancient Android version
[13:43] <YBinnenweg> it's android 2.3.3(gingerbread)
[13:43] <blunden> ok, based on a rom from some other phone I assume
[13:44] <YBinnenweg> yes it is, it's based on the leaked version of the wildfire S
[13:44] <blunden> I have no idea what HTC have changed so can't say how easy it is
[13:45] <YBinnenweg> okay, thnx for your time :)

friendstream with facebook

Hi i tryed many htcfacebook.apk's to get facebook sync to work with frienstream on this rom.

And i found the right htcfacebook app now.

all update's from facebook work now in frienstream and social clock.

push ( place ) this file in your system/app map.

reboot

after boot login in accounts & sync facebook for htc Sense

And then it works for me.

the file : HtcFacebook.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Next version has this included
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Thnx going to install rightaway!

Could you also test if it works with the clock twitter/facebook updates? (the flipclock has a twitter/facebook option)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
Yes it's working :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Do you have the Facebook-widget for sense as well? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
I did never see one on a htc sense rom.

Normaly you can use friendstream for facebook and twitter.

And there is a single widget for twitter
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Thought I had it once.. could be me though :D

And I can't get the flipclock with facebook to work :/ Just says "no recent updates"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
try opening the friendstream application first and let it sync some data :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I can't wait for the next update, wonder what name will the rom have as bonesy integrates his fixes and hopefully we will have a hero once again and not magic :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Bonesy, if you want help, please contact Erasmux. I bet with him you can make this ROM even more awesome!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
@Krizp0 I'm pretty sure they all ready are ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wdaccache:
Hey guys, I am trying to follow what is happening with this ROM that looks pretty interesting, I am on Elelinux Rom where all seems working fine, but would like to venture in a sense based Rom again.

The first page shows an outdated list of what is working and what is not (I guess)...

Could anyone let me know? I am highly dependent on my phone and looking for stability... Are we there yet with this ROM?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
The OP is pretty up to date, just some minor things such as widgets and skins that are a bit iffy, bonesy has said though a new build should be released today which fixes gps , rotate and a few other bugs, however if your the dependent on the camera or gps should hold off switching for a bit longer. hope i helped a little :).

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wdaccache:
Thank you this was helpful indeed, I will keep monitoring the thread in utmost excitement :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I really miss the accelerometer. I can't wait for the update :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] android167:
oooh.... Im so happy... i love this rom... i hope that the update will be today :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haha bonesy, the new hero developer! too cool....

so if you've solved the g-sensor we'd all love it if you'd upload that version pleas.e gps is cool, camera's amazing, but rotate is actually way more important since many things don't work right without it.

don't get your hopes up about camera working, but ya never know since someone said it sort of worked for a few seconds or something like that.

but aside from that I think you could have a pretty cool rom here :-)

I'll wait until rotate and gps are working before I mess around with this though, just for fun. I cna't keep it without camera but would really like to try it out for a bit once rotate's in there.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I think there were posts earlier in this thread saying CWmod works better for flashign this rom? you could try using the search tool within this thread and see what you find...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MipMip44:
i have the same mistake .... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
i could only get it to flash with clockwork recovery.

downloaded it 4 times trying with Amon...still wouldnt work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
well ive managed to get 3rd party skins to show up in the skin picker, the problem was in the skin.db file, packagetype has to be changed to 1 and the skin has to be named, only problem im having atm is applying them, just hangs on the " loading " screen. gonna do a rebbot and see if that fixes it, will report back. :\

EDIT: they dont seem to be applying at all, perhaps to do with the fact they are ripped from desire and the frameworks are completely different? , if anybody knows give me a shout :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fysi:
I think the problem with Amon-Ra is that it hasn't been updated in ages.

Also cheers for getting this done, just been playing about with it. Bit slow for daily use but I think with a bit of love it'll have a chance to be a day to day version for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silentless:
Hi All =)

Tell me please how long battery works on yours hero?

my hero stay alive only about 5 hours =(

is it ok?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
mines has been going strong for a good 20 hours with an 8 hour awake time, beeen on 3g and wifi quite alot aswell, and apart from the 5 minutes it was plugged into my computer, its not been recharged :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
nice with the 3rd party skins ^^

though the skins are messedup on the hero :/ colors are weird, and the skin just doesn't theme every part :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
i think if we want fully working skins on the hero then they will have to be ported, combined effort ybinnenweg? :D

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Iv got them to work, they just dont show as in the pic, and a few of the icons like 3G, USB debugging look like it didnt apply the new theme, so has the old black status bar behind the icon,

EDIT: you said 3rd party skins, so that ^^^^^^^^ dont apply, id like the link to them still :D

Also i cant get one live wallpaper to show up and actually display
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
can you tell us how you done it?

EDIT: ignore ^^ , yeah 3rd party skins are still a problem, wont apply at all atm, i posted the link to the thread with the skins a few pages back :D

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
I just downloaded them from the theme manager, i didnt see you was on about 3rd party themes,

i think they will be likely the wrong size, ill have a look and see.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
ive no experience in porting or resizing apps/skins but i am willing to help :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Ok on this now, so far so good, Runs nice for the state the dev in is now :D

Cleaned a little of the apps I dont need so hope the sense UI does not close that much. Changed VMheapsize to.

Going for bed now, will report back tomorow with some results :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
Have to say, this is running nice, I have had no problems with the skins from htc, just signed up for sense account, verifed email, downloaded and applied. Looking forward to trying out all the future updates.

Don't know if it made any differance but I did alter my build.prop so that it correctly stated that I was on a hero and not a magic

Downloaded 4-5 times from different links. Getting the same error message on each flashing.

I will try with clockwork recovery method.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
newest version of hoeycomb music player not working either, haptic feedback also quite buggy.

EDIT: not sure if its the same but rotate works for me on youtube videos?

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Not the same.. Youtube video is just always rotated
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
thanks :).

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
Well it works only with clockwork :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Said in the OP to use Clockworks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
yep now worked for me too. Flashed with clockwork.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drivexcore:
This Rom is gorgeous. Shame its not ready for daily use yet.

Gotta say this Rom runs angry birds better than ive ever seen it run.

I think that for these 2.2+ roms with sense, a custom kernel will have to be made to suit the rom. No one seems to be having any joy with the camera but we all know deep down inside its gotta be possible. *fingers crossed*

Keep up the good work bonesy

Thx a lot.

edit: after flashing the 00015 vers. on 00001 i have only 20MB left on internal. I had about 119MB left before.

Excellent ROM but bad for daily use. I think i will flash/use the ROM again when it's getting beta from alpha ;) Now reverting to 2.1 Sense.

Anyone still having problems with rosie (aka sense ui)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tandyman100:
Here is where I would like to have a thread full of links to a bunch of alternatives to Winmo programs (or skins) that follow the Windows Phone 7 Metro guidelines.

Skins

nickschot's WP7 Metro theme -- skins Windows Mobile itself to have the black/blue Metro look.

Shells

Host v1.5 -- standalone WP7 shell.

MSkip ProPlus WP7 -- wp7 skin for SPB Mobile Shell

Fireslave's WP7 Suite -- WP7 skin for Throttlelauncher

Other Compilations

Chrisch's WP7 VGA Suite -- xdaShutDown, ThumbCal, TCPMP, Showcase, Resco Explorer, S2U2, S2P, htcCalculator, G-Alarm, QILIN PhoneCanvas, and bootscreen.

Trekfan422991's WP7 skins for common programs -- iContact, iDialer, iAgenda, Throttle Explorer, XDAshutdown, and WP7 StopWatch.

This thread is mostly for my own benefit, so I don't have to go trolling Google with 'WP7 winmo themes' and 'Metro Style winmo6.5.x' and such to skin my phone, and decided I'd put this out there for all of you to look at.

As always, massive thanks to the developers of all these great programs, and reply with anything I missed!

[Galaxy Tab General] da_in_sd:
LOL! Seriously tho, I need a cheaper alternative to my Tab for my kids to play with.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a WiFi-only 7" Android 2.2 (Froyo) [i.e. must support Flash video] tablet for about $200 USD that support full access to Android Market?

I looked at things like this one:

http://www.lightinthebox.com/Cortex...2-2--Froyo--WiFi-Tablet--800MHZ-_p165566.html

or this one:

http://www.lightinthebox.com/Android-2-1-C-MID-Tablet-with-7-Inch-HD-Touchscreen---WiFi_p158354.html

The second one is Android 2.1 and probably doesn't support Flash but I think SkyFire Browser may be a good fix for that with its built-in Flash support.

Use cases: Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, Zebra Paint, Fruit Ninja, Mini Squadron, Need for Speed, Pandora and YouTube.

Can someone from this board recommend a replacement for my Tab so my kids will give me my Tab back!?!?!?!?

[Galaxy Tab General] da_in_sd:
@ayman07: Can I get Nook Color with Froyo pre-installed from somewhere? And whats the specs on the processor for Nook Color?
[Galaxy Tab General] da_in_sd:
Or how about this one:

[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I concur with Ayman07 that the Nook Color is the way to go.

You will need to hack it to get the best out of it though, unless you can find one on Ebay/Craigslists where it's already been done.

As to the processor, it is an 800Mhz Cortex A8 TI OMAP3621, which is very good.

The Coby you linked to doesn't look bad, but apparently it has a resistive screen and that would be the deal breaker for me.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] oldmacnut:
I had a nook for my first tab, it was so easy to put froyo on it, and easier to put honeycomb on it. Those nooks are impossible to brick.

Go for the nook, best bang for the Buck, and the only tablet I'm aware of with the most flexibility for flashing roms. Wifi worked fine after flashing, even on the hc port.
