A copy of the redone init.rc file. I just use root explorer to run it form the SDCard as if you copy over your init.rc with it it just gets reset on next boot, if anyone knows a way to make the changes permanent I would love to know how. rosie does a single restart for me as soon as its exxecuted then its fine there after

Have to say I've not had a single problem with SU permissions as of yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
The init.rc is packed inside the kernel ramdisk. You can read more about this and find out how to change it here:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

EDIT: Note that for the hero you need to add "--base 0x19200000" to the mkbootimg command.

For example the command I use is something like:

PATH_TO_ANDROID/out/host/linux-x86/bin/mkbootimg --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz --cmdline "no_console_suspend=1 console=null" -o out/boot.img --base 0x19200000
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Alright thanks I guess it is because I am flashing with Amon recovery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] newdecember:
Thats perfect thanks very much.

Hopefully it will help.

Anyone noticed that it is really smooth for an alpha build?

Bonesy has done well here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
Cheers Erasmux, will have a play later see if I can come up with any thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
Strange, Thread title says v0.21 while version number in download is 0.17a...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
that's because this rom is a port of the HTC Magic Rom sfm 0.21
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
oops sry overread this.. just was confused about getting the latest. but now it makes SENSE to me (hehe, bad word joke) ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
Pun: Play on words.

Doesn't run on my HTC Hero...

Installation seems good in the beginning, but when I reboot my phone for the first time the display "HTC" stays for an unlimited time ... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Did you do a wipe of everything?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
As above.. And if you have Android-SDK installed you could try to fire up 'adb logcat' and see if something happens. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
Interesting ROM but after a couple of hour I returned to CM 7.

The main problems/bugs that I noticed:

- Location doesn't work, it could not locate me in google maps/weather app, etc.

- Home button seems to restart launcher cause in most cases it throws me to the white HTC 'quietly brilliant' screen. The launcher is loading and no problem from then on.

- Shut down seems not to work.

- Optimizations needed to become faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
hmmm.. shutdown should work, atleast at my phone, I have the fastboot function (search on youtube for that) but indeed, when using fastboot (option in settings) you can't directly reboot in recovery, you have to pull the battery to get into recovery, but shutdown works ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tig33r:
In sense 2.1 rom shutdown = hibernation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
This does make sense :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Not really.. You can turn off hibernation in Settings > Applications :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
L2R comments

"when using fastboot (option in settings)"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
For anyone still having issues with rosie keep restarting all the time you called try doing the following

Launch Terminal Emulator,

Write su, then press enter

Write echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop, then enter

Reboot

this seems to have worked well for me, so hopefully will help some of the rest of you out there
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pskin132:
Hi

First things, great to see 2.3.3 sense coming to hero, looks like a lot of hard work has gone into this from you guys.

However I cant really use it as yet, wifi, speed, black screens are just to frequent for it to be my daily.

I do really like the layout of it all though, lets hope you can keep up the great work !!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Wifi works using .35 kernel.

EDIT: though this is packed into new build so if your using the new build and having problems with wifi, could you post a description and/or logcat of what happens when you attempt to connect to wifi.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walk.away:
I've reverted back to VillainRom 13 as was consistently being told thhat messages werent being sent in full, using the stock app. Problem went away straight away after flashing vr13.

So maybe in a message that was at most 3 sms long (otherwise it autoconverted to mms) the last part of the message would not be sent.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] isaac12:
how long wait for next update?is project dead? yes or no? thanks for reply
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] newdecember:
the project is still running, be patient,

its only been a few days since he last released an update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Right just to let you all know.....

I've spent the last 5 days trying to get Bluetooth to work and rosie to stop going OOM with no joy (plus camera) :'( My life with the Hero is coming to an end tomorrow as i have my Legend and have sold the Old battered (and broken) hero...

Ill still port for Hero when Sebastian releases his next version...Hope fully i can one day help to have working 2.3.3 w/sense 2.1 but who knows!

If anyone wants to take over and me to send them the ports please let me know (Via PM) I was hoping more people would come on board to help getting this running but nevermind...Seems like the Hero's life IS coming to an end!!

Im currently looking on ebay for a faulty hero to develop this rom with :)

I hope you all understand that i WILL do my best to keep this port updated and alive!!

Looks lioke ill be porting tonight....version 0.30!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
great if it gets ported tonight! I will try rightaway!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Any news on porting the new version, SFM 0.3? The list of changes in his post looks pretty impressive! Apparently he's fixed Roise reloading and a bunch of other stuff + it says it's stable :eek: Keep it up guys! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I agree with you here, that the hero community is not much left. Still hate it, VR is even more secretive then Area 52 or something :P We all got no idea what the status is on their rom. Would have expected some input from 1 of them in here. But suprisingly, Well not knowing that anymore :P They did not..

We will see how it goes.

Thanks for all your work man and love to see the next release. And definitly going to try it, but now it is time for a nice sleep.

GL porting 0.30
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
offtopic: pff newb :P no "goede vrijdag" tomorrow? XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Can someone please send me a nandroid of there boot.img and system.img? Just those 2 as i have brokened my sd :( cant release 0.30 till i have a backup of alpha_17a...i wont (and cant) steal your data..Thanks...Ideally someone with a high bandwidth wink wink wupper :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
sure I will, sorry for the late reaction, what kind of rom do you need? or doesn't it matter?

edit: It's not alpha_17a :/ its your 0.20 release... does it matter?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
While people are waiting for the next port, I have got the agps working, turns out we were missing the NetworkLocation.apk form system. You will need to create some space as system is full (or at least it was for me,) easiest way is if you check in /system/lib/modules there is a left over folder from flykernal in there that can be safely deleted, then drop the attached .apk into /system/app/ and reboot. (dont forget to set permissions correct first :) )

Cant get weather to work still as keeps saying the connection has been inturrepted before downloading data, but google maps etc can now get location properly.

Edit. May have weather sorted, if have will upload files first thing in the morning as my home net has just crapped out. (You can always rely on virgin media to crap out at just Tue right time.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
first try to port

i port the sfm0.3 to my hero now, checking now if everything is working fine.

i think that i to change a small thinks.

wen there is a update i will post it here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Nope indeed have to work. Busses need to drive, Stupid people that want to use public transport.. :P

Kiddin. If this bus had the upload capacity I would have loaded those files for ya bonesy.

To Ybinnenweg. Have a nice day off :P Ah well monday I got my day of jeej :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
lol for me too xd where do you drive? :D In the hague? Then tell me the bus number and I take a ride with you ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
a nandroid backup would be better as i can use the same libs as i dont have a hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
Check your pm in a few minutes :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
My last(?) noob-powered (lol) question about camera on 2.2, 2.3 roms with sense.

Why devs can't make libs using aosp sources? HTC has other sources to make their roms? HTC can make working camera so why we can't? :D I don't understand this...

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
Because the camera library is partially proprietary code of HTC which they do not release the sources to and we can not rebuild this against their code. Additionally a lot of the .so shared libraries have co-dependencies. HTC have made some small changes in Sense ROMs to some of these libraries (again closed source we do not have the code for this) and trying to put a liboemcamera.so from an old hero ROM on the newer port usually starts a cascade where you need to import more and more libs until you end up also importing the java code from the old ROM and viola you have a fully working port which is just your "reference" Sense 2.1 ROM....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
No I am driving for Arriva Gorichem.

Line 81 Gorichem-utrecht and that back again 3 times and 90 from Utrecht to Rotterdam once, but done now and back home :P

And that was enough oftopic for me :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
i port the rom so far, so far almost everything seems to working :)

but i'm no Dev. In my port wifi don't work, and that is for me already a problem to fix it.

Can someone put me in the right direction to fix wlan ?

then i got my first rom ever ported
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
.35 kernel can fix WiFi I belive...

I'm not sure.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Wifi should work on standard kernel and on .35 kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
then my port isn't good, can't get it to work with different's kernels.

try to port it again ,until bosney come with his port :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I tried to send you a message, if you (or anyone else for that matter) are willing to take over this port, feel free to contact me privately and I'll do what I can to help you.

Wifi for example does work on all Sense 2.2+ ports I have seen to date with flykernel if the ramdisk is updated accordingly....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Hey erasmux , im thinking of porting an alpha miui rom over from the x8 to the hero but im not a dev in any way so i'd need some help with it, you up for it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
If you are serious about it, I can give you some high level guidance (contact me by PM if your interested).

Did you check how big the difference between the hardware of the X8 and the hero is?

This specific port (the one of the SFM magic port) is quite easy because the hardware of the magic is very similar to that of the hero. Ports from other devices, especially those from devices no one has ever ported to the hero could be anything between extremely challenging to just impossible....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
the processor is basically the same , same screen dimensions , we have slightly more ram but its the only other phone i've found that is similar in some ways to the hero. check your pm :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
port to 0.30 is almost finshed now.

had some rosie reboots and bluetooth don´t work

now cleaning some apps from system folder.

en ad some new.

this is my first port i learned a lot about porting in 24 hours now.

think that i maybe release a port tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silentless:
Hey JieeHD

cool news about miui rom =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
well dont get your hopes up, the rom which i'm porting from is an X8 rom which is the only device i could find with similar specs to ours which has a miui port/rom. It is very buggy and unstable and the dev for the X8 has only so far managed to get it to boot but all apps fc due to the framework-res.apk not matching the rom, it will be a very tough if not impossible port but i'll give it my best shot. if anyone is willing to help with the port then feel free to pm me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Port 3.0? You mean sense 3.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
I think he means 0.30
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
Sorry , that was a typo

i mean the port from sfm 0.30
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
okay guys , i may post up a pre-pre-pre alpha of this miui port, not sure yet because having difficulties with it booting, again if anyone wants to help please pm me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Maybe you want to start a new thread as this one is for the GB sense rom Bonsey was porting?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Sorry i was just asking for help with it before i started a thread. Didn't see the point in starting a thread with nothing to show for it :\.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] isaac12:
where find themes for sense 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomekk_nt:
Would be nice if bonesy could change phone name in this ROM to Hero ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
It's actually quite easy to change it in /system/build.prop ;)

EDIT: Does someone know how to lock Sense in the memory??? Everytime I'm returning to homescreen, it has to reload....

does HTC Sync work for you guys ? It seems it can't find my phone ... I'm using HTC SYNC 3.0.5511
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
I'll wait the next version. Hope it can be flashed in AmonRa (Can't flash it right now, don't feel like changing recovery again tbh :p)

Is it possible to include Riemers kernel so we don't have to flash/download it extra?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pkn3000:
I want the phone model to HTC hero not HTC magic in the next build please and I'm not good at changing thing in the system build.prop and can you change the rest of the thing that are wrong please
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:
some1 could give me an other link plz... i cant download it :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
No i cant as well, says it takes 1 hour, but always cuts out about the 88mb mark, anyone got another DL link like megaupload etc ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
There you go : http://www.multiupload.com/DTU27U7IP0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gawis:
I am actually very excited about this rom :)

am gonna wait 1 or 2 versions more though as I just flashed another rom yesterday morning :)

thanks for another person that wants to put time in our trusted Heroes!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Right firstly....

SDCARD PROBLEMS...

I flashed amon ra to reformat my sd (FAT32+ext3) after the sdcard wasnt recognized,bout an hour later it suddenly said SDcard mounted, I dont know why but it did!

Secondly....

Build #2 will be released at some point within the next 24hrs fixing build.prop,Sensors (i think) and bluetooth...HTC Sync problem is down to it thinking its a HTC Magic..Im going to get a premium account with a download provider so downloading shouldnt be a problem with build 2..

Always backup,check the MD5 sum, WIPE EVERYTHING! and read the first post for instructions, After removing my swap partition it only reloads rosie after i put a standard HTC Widget on the screen.

Also mines been on pretty much all afternoon (at least 5 hours) and is all running really smooth now, please remember this is an alpha.

Finally...

When i was fishing i sat on a rock and accidentaly cracked my camera lense so i am going to be UNABLE to test the cam at ANY STAGE!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
I don't have swap partition and sense launcher is reloading often...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I'm sorry to hear that you've broken your camera :( ... I hope you will team up with erasmux or other interested developer to help with the camera or other issues ... I am running this rom for 7 hours straight and it got really really smooth after 1 reboot ... I've had some FCs on first boot but now it runs great :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silentless:
Hey bonesy

Thanks for this rom!

smooth and fast rom=) like it)

I install Las Venturas - 2.6.35 kernel so i dont have problems with sd card

but i found that orange or green led doesnt work =(

and is it possible to add russian language in this firmware?

Waiting for next release =)

is GPS working for anyone? no one in the thread has mentioned it. and it's not listed as either working or not on page one...

apart from that, great work bonesy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
Amazing work this from you and Sebastien, shame my Hero's touchscreen suffered the fate so many others (the touchscreen at the bottom stopped responding). So I ordered a ZTE Blade till my upgrade, it's quite amazing for the price. I might resurrect my Hero just to try Gingerbread with Sense. I'll test the Camera for you if you upload soon too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
GO BONESY GO! AND ERASMUX! i believe in your guys. Thanks for your efforts

If you need the camera tested, just PM me, and we meet at MSN or something, send me the changed files, and I'll test for you ;-)

Didn't get clockworkrecovery to install :/ gonna retry now, oh and btw.. RaiderX(from team villain) has the rom working with a .29 kernel, sensors working, wifi working, lights working, but it isn't being released yet because of the speed of the rom. Now please don't hurry to the irc of villainrom, pulser was drunk last night, give him 3 days :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
How about camera? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Not working yet, needs a lot of work, and it will most likely the last thing that will be working, because all the htc roms and software are closed source, which means you can only edit a few things.. there is some hope, but don't expect there to be a rom with camera working very soon :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Has anyone managed to download and install skins from HTC Hub? :/

Hero with Sense 2.3 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Some time ago someone said that, in contrast to Froyo we have the source files needed to run the camera or something like that :D

Somebody can confirm this? Maybe I'm crazy? :D

I'm keeping my finger crossed again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Nope I didn't :S it always told me it was downloading, then the download started in the notification area, and when it was finished nothing happend :'(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm... Not sure what you mean here. I'm intrigued :) I am fairly sure we don't have any sources, beyond the kernel sources from developer.htc.com... HTC ain't exactly forthcoming with anything beyond legal requirements, and even then are often months late :p

Maybe it's not source files? Could be a proprietary lib file, but unless the wildfire S were to be using the same camera board, I can't see anything other than libcamera.so that we have from 2.1...

Anyone know any more on this? /me is intrigued :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Yeah same problem here, clicking the notification just takes me to the skin screen but with no skin installed, tried a restart, no luck. Hopefully the next build will sort it :(

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
First impressions are that it getts quite after a while, im sure thats th kernal warming up as it say,

pretty quick, only problems i can find apart from the ones posted, ie SD card, camera,

themes download but dont install, shame i really wanted that music lovers theme, but thats no big deal to me, im keep it for tonight, have a play, see how battery live goes, hopefully the whole night into i get home

overclocking it with no frills cpu, to 614-264 on smartass working well,

no real problems with it so far, the new sense, makes SENSE over the old one,

crap joke aside, its a good rom for a alpha release, so looking forward to more builds and development, well done to all that have taken part,

for that a 3 hour drum and bass mix just for you boys and girls :P
