Works fine so far. The only thing which i really miss is Exchange/Corporate account support which were available in previous version of this rom. Have you deleted it on purpose?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] llvllaster:
try to copy the mail.apk from the previos versin into your system/app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toastmeisterq:
Hmm, i got a weird problem, mine boots up fine, i enter my pin code and then the HTC logo with a white background appears and it does not go away, the lockscreen appears as usual and works, but it seems like rosie isnt loading :S

I've reflashed and wiped everything like 3 times now and it wont work :/ any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kentai:
Works fine except Exchange/Corporate sync which is missing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
rosie takes a very long time to load on first boot, especially if you have data or wifi as it will sync first before it loads.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Sorry I forgot to add mail will add a small update today...

As for it not loading READ THE OP! It says takes aaaaaages to load just be patient! Maximum 10 minutes after the bootscreen....you have to wait for the setup wizard to load don't keep wiping and flashing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
is it just me or does rosie seem to restart more often with this build? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
rosie seems quite stable for me.

the dark tremor script doesnt seem to work for A2SD, just about to flash LasVenturas 0.4.2 and then dark tremor to see if that makes any difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
i tried flashing 0.4.2 straight after i flashed the rom, got a status 0 error and recovery froze :\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
strange, mine flashed ok. the darktremor script still isnt working though :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
I think it's the same as the previous versions.. don't know if it's related to the kernel-memory-settings...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thomasssss:
Hi guys!

This work looks awesome! Is the camera working? Or at least does it take pictures without preview? If yes I start to flash it :))

Thx again!

Tom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drivexcore:
I really wanna try this new version but my mobile data got throttled last night from me downloading too many roms, I'm such a flash geek :l will download next time I'm over at my mums and let you know what I think :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
nope, camera doesnt work atm as its a sense port.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
As i said previously rosie restarts when installing new apps that have anything to do with rosie...Like widgets,wallpapers,setcpu
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
I havent changed the background, didn't install any new widgets (nor added/removed from home). Just going to market and back to home is enough for rosie to restart here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Marsou77:
Impossible to connect at HTC likes...

Anybody else ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
i can connect to likes but not to hub.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Works for me.

Btw: Logcat never rests right now. sick, even had to clear the logcat in eclipse to get it viewable again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Should I install the ROM and the kernel at the same time, or should I boot up the ROM once first?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
i would boot first, had problems flashing 0.4.2 straight after flashing the new build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
Which kernel is integrated with rom now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Flykernel I believe.

Edit: Actually, after booting up I found out that this (latest version) has got the Las Venturas kernel included :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
it has Las Venturas 0.4.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Las venturas 0.4.1 is inckluded as i had problems with frequencies and speed on 0.4.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Didn't install anything.. Actually, sometimes it is showing the "Loading" on the homescreen (right after the white HTC logo), and then it crashes and starts over, with the logo first then "loading"...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Same here, got it after configuring some settings and going back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MehLon:
Which one do I download?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Alpha_0.17a
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
Does App2SD EXT work in this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
IT stuck at HTC quietly brilliant.What can i do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Funny that no Villainrom person has jumped into this yet, Well as I can hear/read/see....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
no problemen with installing, it just need some time to boot. Expect 10 minutes boot time, maybe langer after first boot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
I wish people would read the op!!!!

From the original post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IakobosJ:
This looks so great.

I installed it and all went fine, but if I open up settings, go through a few menus then come back to the home screen, rosie reloads :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
oh.after about 15 minutes it boots and work fine.A little lag but it works FINE.Thanks.This is promising!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
has anyone found a solution to A2SD-EXT? I've tried wiping cache and dalvik-cache then flashed Darktremor's 04 but it goes into bootloop at the first splash screen that says HERO on black background (tried to boot it up, left it 10 minutes with no result for me)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MehLon:
I can't even flash it - clockwork won't boot into recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
i had that problem, does it go to a black screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Testing an update now that should stop rosie.apk from ever closing...We will see!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
rosies been sweet atm, no restarts, pretty smoth :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Please make it stop reloading! :P Does it all the time for me :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
Hey,

first of all: love the idea of 2.3.3 with sense!

i am no dev, so the following question may be utopic or of theoretical nature, but....

just a question: heard about the upcoming 2.3.3 with sense 3.0 "successfully" ported to other devices...

to me, it seems pretty difficult porting a sense (2.1) which was not made for 2.3.3 to it, why not use 3.0 which was intended to work with 3.0? wouldn't that be easier?

greets, SummonerOfDeath :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr34mc4tch3r:
As nice as the new sense 3.0 is, it is physically not possible to port it to the hero. The hardware requirements are huge, just look at the weather animation of the htc sensation. Besides that, there is no sense 3.0 device announced with the same resolution, so just judging by hardware alone (despite all the countless other difficulties) it is not doable.

I think Sense 2.1 on 2.3.3 is the final stage for the hero, but then again, that's what a lot of people thought when Froyo was ported.

Cheers!

P.S. ; the wildfire S runs sense 2.1 + android 2.3.3, so it is optimized for 2.3.3 That's also the main reason why updates for HTC Sense devices take so long; they have to rewrite the HTC Sense framework for a new android version. This is also why google wants to fight the fragmentation of the android platform
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] newdecember:
sense 3.0 will be very hard to port to the hero due to the fact that it takes a massive strain on the processor,

i was talking to one of the HTC reps today about it, apparently it wasn't even supposed to be released on a handset, it was built for tablets.

on another note he did mention about the guys porting sense 2.1 and stated it would be impossible due to Ram and Rom constraints,

guess he can go eat his hat now :D

have been waiting for it to get a little more stable but what the hell, gonna try this rom over the weekend.

if you need a tester bonesy i'll happily do it for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Right here is the fix!!!

Download gscript lite off of the market, UNINSTALL whatever overclocking program you use!

Unzip the zip file attached

Put rosie_fix.sh in the gscript folder on your sd card

open gscript

choose add script

load

load rosie_fix.sh

execute

allow (Superuser toast message)

I have had no restarts,using messages,market (angry birds dl)

View attachment Rosie_fix.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
will this fix be included with the next build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
All I get are errors using the file :(

stderr: cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq: directory nonexistent

stderr: cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq: directory nonexistent

stderr: cannot create /proc//oom_adj: directory nonexistent
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
did you uninstall the app you use to overclock?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Didn't have one installed at all. GScript Lite is the first app I installed since installing this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
try this one instead

View attachment Rosie_fix2.zip

It will be included in next release IF i can get busybox run-parts to work (this controls Apps2SD aswell as Init.d scripts..)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Thanks, it worked. Gonna play around a bit. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
It works for me, great job !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
about sense 3.0:

mhh, agree. stated by htc, it's impossible for devices with single core and up to 1 GHz. maybe it would be possible to create some "light" version or to "steal" some graphics and port them to hero (=> sense 2.1 with 3.0 graphics, no need of newest weather animation)? they did with MIUI... as i said, i'm no dev, just want to give in my thoughts cause i can't directly help in coding, maybe they could help you make a stable, eye-candy rom ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tfn:
Ok Had a nasty experience though would share it

Saw the 1.7 and thought would update it, and for a change thought I would just erase everything from the Sdcard and start fresh and guess what

Not only did It wipe nandroid backup ( which I expected anyway) the damn SDcard wouldn't show up as a drive any more and here I was stuck with this rom with no nandback to turn to or install another rom as my sdcard was not recognised by my PC

After quiet a lot of searches I have managed to do this

I have the GSMROOT file so flashed that via ADB to get in to AMon RA recovery and followed these steps http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=911228

to install one of Ele's ROM and now I am fine with the SD CARD showing up as a drive

So thinking whether to flash the 1.7 or not or wait for a more stable release :D

SO make sure you guys dont erase your SD CARD with this ROM on it gave me a really nasty headache.. though I had spoild my SDCARD.

Still its a Lovely Rom and Thanks for the DEV for it, I will be flashing it again, JUST MY STUPID ERROR :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Its not just the weather animation, 3.0 includes some new 3d features and as our hero does not have a dedicated graphics processor it would just be unable to keep up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
NEVER wipe sd without doign a backup :) i backup my sd to my pc every other day in case of any problems :D

How are people finding teh rosie fix? ive found a way of adding it on boot without BB Run-parts :)

Do you mean the weather animation with sounds that this already has?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr34mc4tch3r:
Hey Bonesy,

been checking ou the rom for quite a bit now, and even though it is still alpha, it seems to run very smooth. So the eye-candy objective of this rom is definitly achieved. Sense works as smooth as with villainrom 13 (except maybe the notification dropdown bar). Will give a more detailed report after using it through the weekend.

@SummonerOfDeath,

Even though you're not a developer, you are very helpful. People with less deep knowledge tend to think outside the box more and therefore contribute. These things keep a thread alive and interesting for the developers. So don't post, "I'm not a developer", because it sounds like an apalogy :P, and you have no reason to.

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
why would anyone erase their sdcard? warning to others - please don't do this. it has nothing to do with running new roms unless you want to partition for ext etc.

edit: by the way, sorry to hear about your troubles with sdcard not being recognized any longer... that was an unfortunate coincidence for sure!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dsouza42:
The rosie fix really didn´t work 100% for me. It still reloads on ocasion.. more frequently than I´d like actually. Other than that the ROM is great. Runs very smoothly. Still has some issues, don´t know if they´re all already known but here´s what I found:

- Maps Navigation always force closes (might have something to do with agps not working).

- No voice input (Don´t know if there´s some restriction to use it with sense but I though all roms 2.2 and beyond had it). To be precise, if I install Voice Search it works but only in English, still can´t change it in the settings.

- WiFi Hotspot doesn´t work

- Camera, bluetooth, etc... but that´s all known

Other than that it´s great. One of the best sense ROMs I´ve used. Certainly was good to use sense again since I have been using CM roms with froyo and gingerbread for quite a while.

I´m very tempted to keep using it permanently. For me the only real dealbreaker is agps. I use voice input, wi-fi hotspot and bluetooth a fair deal but it´s nothing I can´t live without.

Great job bonesy and Sebastian FM! Thank you very much for using your precious time to do this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
Make sure you are using latest Amon_Ra (1.7.0.1) as it contains some neccessary drivers for Gingerbread. Please post back result :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
I am using Amon-Ra 1.7.0.1 ... I just tried with clockwork 2.5.0.7 too ... I'm now downloading the rom again and give it another try .. dunno why it didn't work as I've checked the md5sum ... I'm a flash addict so I don't mind trying everything :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
It should all work ok really,I removed my mtdpart,wiped EVERYTHING in amon ra.Installed clockwork and flashed?

Anyone else having errors?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
ok so I've downloaded it again .. and this time it worked :D I've checked the md5 and size on both zips and they are identical ... weird... anyway thank you and I hope that you will find a way around the drivers for camera too :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Think i have sorted bluetooth and rotate,Ill keep testing today prepare for an update tonight at some point :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
So the camera (and maybe the speed) is the only trouble left now? :D

EDIT: And of course more languages in the Rom ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Ill try and sort it all for next release (besides cam)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
With this rom we can use htcsense.com website :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Yep register your HTC Sense Account, download widgets,apps,skins!

I need to add HTC Facebook as well as the new clock widget with it incorporated looks cool!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] android167:
There is no SDcard recogition... :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
My SD Card works well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
mine too....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Yeah, it's very cool. The ROM doesn't come with any skins though.. Slate, Metal etc, but there are some other ones within htcsense to download :)

With regards to the Cam has anyone tried a third-party app, or is it just flat out not working at all?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] android167:
I tried Es File explorer, but nothing, and original File Manager does not recognize it... :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] catsado:
Best of luck to you my friend. I hope you made this ROM almost perfect. Speedy and with almost no bugs :) .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
If you are expecting this, stop downloading now, this is a Alpha rom, which isn't almost working, and infact, not really speedy at all.

You can use it very well, but if you really rely on your phones as something really important, like using it for buisness, wait a few days untill it works a little better..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
As stated you will have to flash Riemers Las Venturas 0.4.1-kernel, or else you have some features missing..

BTW. is the led's working for you guys? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
How to keep launcher in memory?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Didn't work for me so far :( Still have the install errors.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattnmd:
Very nice port! Love the lightly changed interface of Sense..

Would say with a little bit of work you should be able to produce a

speedy rom with almost everything (don't have high hopes for camera) working..

then this would definately be a keeper!

Bugs:

- indeed only flashable with CWR

- bit slow, but can be fixed (maybe a masterpeace for the one that cannot be named on xda ;) )

Slight exitement:

- got a half a minute a picture in the camera, then it went away and never got it back :P

grtz :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pkn3000:
Is it possible to have the 3d maps in this Rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
white text friendstream for facebook update's

hi, i tryed a new htcfacebook apk and now are the facebook update's in friendstream in white.

extraced the zip push it to the system/app/

update:

i now getting com.htc.bg error, so whait if i can find a sollution for it.

ok not working now, still having th BG error.

Have to find a other htcfacebook app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
Would anyone one be willing to upload this elsewhere, as 4 share just keeps giving me download limit reached for your IP and so I cant download it :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stuart_r:
Yer i'm having the same problem with 4shared :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Added mirror into OP Thanks to wupper :D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr34mc4tch3r:
Hey I also noticed multi-tasking isn't working. In stead of opening an app in the way you left it, it retarts the app. Try doing something like a batch-restore on titanium backup. Can anyone confirm this please?

-edit- And can I re-install setCPU after doing the rosiefix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I think multi tasking with this rom atm isnt possible because of the strain on memory, it is after all only in alpha.

Yes you can :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Exactly what he said..

It's Alpha (be aware that the Marvel has 512mb ram compared to our 288mb) so there will be a lot of memory problems..Trying to keep rosie in memory is my main mission as well as fixing bluetooth.Also i have found that the standard clocks and governor work the best.

Villainrom ARE working on sense 2.3.3 using the 2.6.29 kernel

Twitter

When they do it ill probably leave this rom alone as they have a team and i am just me!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
perhaps a bit of collaboration could go on between you and team villain bonesy because you have done a fantastic job with this rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Right guys im away for the weekend so am gona be unable to upload any updates til at least monday...Ill keep trying to sort out the Rosie going OOM atm you can kep it in memory using autokiller off the market ttfn
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
ok, have a great weekend

I'm busy to optimize image files in the system app. If the results are great you will hear it first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberto:
hm Sense crashes everytime I use the Home Button :)

Everything else is pretty cool! Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Did you install the fix? - There is a link at the OP

It seems that SebastianFM has found a good ROM to port from:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Yea he told me he was workin on a new version NOT done from leaks...The only problem being 0.20 was the only one that i could get to use busybox run-parts (ie apps2sd and bits!) hopefully i can with the next release he does
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
It is probably going out of memory since the Hero has about half of the memory Wildfire S.

Good job bonesy but I find the ROM to be a huge annoyance since I can't do anything with it since Rosie is going out of memory and I can't get any SU permissions...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
This might sound a bit well nuts, but in the name of experimentation, I copied the memory management details from an init.rc file from an old Rom to the init.rc of this Rom and then ran it via root explorer and I now have no rosie reloads at all. Could perhaps be some strange coincidence but I thought that it might be something that could be worth looking into.

Oh, and also Rom feels smother now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
I was thinking of doing something but with minfree manager but couldn't SU permission or anything to work at a decent speed.

Does the init.rc have anything to do with the internal memory killer? I know it does some stuff with the kernel and other stuff.

::EDIT::

Was looking through Cronos GB init.rc and it does do some stuff with the internal memory manager.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
Yeah, the different init.rc files control several things, but unfortunately they get reset on reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] newdecember:
Thantos, would you be able to post these init.rc files for us to use?

Would act as a workaround for now.

Love this rom

What makes it better is that bonesy has proven the boffins at htc wrong :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
Sure thing, am on my way home atm, will upload once I'm in, should be about 20 mins at most.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
I used the one from Cronos GB.

Also doing this (see below) when your phone boots up helps since it changes the freq and changes the oom for rosie, this is essentially what bonesy was trying to do with the gscript lite app and the script but for some reason no program recognizes SU something about not finding binaries :S

Must have AndroidSDK.. Press the enter key after each command

cd\
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools (or navigate to where adb.exe is located)
adb shell
echo 264000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 652000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq (I changed the freq since some phones can't handle 691 MHz if you want just change the frequency to what your phone can handle. eg for me 710400)
PPID=$(pidof com.htc.launcher)
echo "-17" > /proc/$PPID/oom_adj

init.d MU Dropbox

Replace the init.d with AndroidCommander since ADB wasn't letting me, or you can try doing it via recovery (I did not do this so I don't know if it works) and place it in the / directory.

::EDIT::

Is anyone else having problems with SU permission?
