Will do im actually using your version as the base so the change is already in place

Music app freezes?

Okay, guys this is AMAZING!!! (mild_salsa_jm) I switched it to decas kernel and after almost a day of usage im sitting at around 50% battery, maybe a 15 min recharge while putting apps on SD card. Really, really good. Nice one kyle. One problem, though. I listen to music while mowing, and the HTC music app does something weird... every other song, it slips while playing, like a broken CD or Record. When i turn the screen back on, though, it resumes normal play. Other times, it breaks and it wont let me turn the screen on, so i pull the jack out and after a minute it turns back on and pauses the music. I'm not good with changing stuff myself, so could anyone take a look at this? Also, going through the posts is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, but is there a recent-er post to this ROM? (Non-fr), maybe to make it a tad faster? But its really, really sick guys. Awesome stuff here.

EDIT: Oh, wait! Thank you TJinWV, but all of your work is greatly appreciated here :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
I can't take any credit for this. I just tweaked Kyle's stuff.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oOMavrikOo:
First time user here. Am I reading the OP correctly? Will flashing this ROM automatically set the system and cache partitions to the needed values?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
If you have not done any partition modifications, then you do not have to worry about setting those values on the ROMs in here that don't need FR (Firerats partition mod)

Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Dastin, that's not completely correct. If Mavrik was talking about the ROMs in the OP, they DO need Firerat's custom MTD partitions. The most recent test ROMs (mild salsa and the like) do not require Firerats, but they are not linked in the OP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oOMavrikOo:
I am currently using 100 18 for aospCMod. Do I need to change them myself to accommodate for this ROM or does the ROM change them for you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
You gotta change your mtdpartmap. At least 170 for system around.

Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
If you use 0.9 or 0.9.2 (from the OP), you'll want to use 245 15. I recommend setting it before you flash FR recovery, even though the value is stored in the ROM. You should not have to flash FR boot after flashing the ROM, but it won't hurt anything if you do.

If you want to use wild_salsa or wild_salsa_jm (either of which I'd recommend over the OP at this point, although they are just test builds), you can go something like 170 75 (at least I have to have my cache that high, but I haven't heard what others are using).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
Thanks. Didn't catch that. Sorry my English isn't as good, I'm ESL. :P

Dont you guys think you can port sense 3.0 ? I believe in you guys.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Are

I don't think 3.0 for phones has been released, only for tablets which does'nt have mobile networks and some other thinfs included.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Honeycomb 3.0 is different than sense 3.0

It was leaked and ported to several phones sense 3.0 (gingerbread base) is what the sensation and evo 3d are running what I can say is there is no hope for it, both phones with it are arm v7, also even if we did get it to boot it is very gpu heavy, along with cpu heavy in general even the supersonic has problems with the egl version it uses and this thing is a beast
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oOMavrikOo:
Where do I find the mild salsa ROM and such?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dubbin_Irie:
Haven't seen it noted but I tried viewing a you tube video from a forum and it force closed :-/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kippswanson:
FWIW I'm running Virus Kingdom ROM with Sense 3.0. It's kinda shaky on my Evo, so... wow, I dunno about it ever running on the Hero. But hey, a lot of people probably said that about the Evo, so hey...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
The difference is that the evo is still spec'd decently the hero is rather behind the curve at this point im personaly impressed this ran at all
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kippswanson:
"Behind the curve"... ya don't say!?:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
Here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Could someone pull and post the news app from one of the other roms? Thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
do you no the name of the apk im looking through them and dont see a news apk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oOMavrikOo:
Do you have a DL link and a link to a forum thread? I'm only on my phone for the weekend.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Thoughtlesskyle's original is here.

My modified version is here (ignore the errors I mentioned in the post - they were solved with a higher cache in firerats).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Wow that will makee our phones explode
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I'll look and report back

EDIT: I believe this is name of the widget that comes with the actual app "com.htc.NewsReaderWidget.apk" but I dont know what the actual apk name is. Would what I posted be enough?

EDIT 2: Wait would it be this "NewsReader.apk"?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
You can download HTC's News Widget/app from the HTC Hub.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I cant seem to create an HTC hub account

EDIT: Never mind I got it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Mild salsa 2

Download

mirror

DO A FULL WIPE DONT POST ANY BUGS IF YOU DONT WIPE FIRST

-Mms should work I followed deccas instructions

-deccafuct kernel in now

-htc ime mod in the data partition now removed the reg keyboard

Probably something else
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Awesome, thanks .......this what I was waiting for:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
I have been using mild salsa all day with deca's #589 kernel all day and is been nice. Took some pics with stock and miui. Getting great reception today too.

Finally didn't overload the system partition and was able to keep root. I keep coming back to this Rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Sounds like damn near everything is working. I'm gonna dive in again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Is there a mirror of mild salsa 2 cause for some reason it only downloads 3kb and is actually 118
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Its damn close to being complete its likely as complete it will be for a long time unless bluetooth magically gets figured out from here its just little tweaks and minor stuff and possibly trying to figure out the 3d issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
just put a mirror in the post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Well, maybe I'm a bit self-centered, but since I don't use bt, who cares. ( jk, I know some find it useful). it's

been a while since I've messed with this rom (needed stability at work), but I remember seeing something about firerat being built in (at least, the mtdpartmap).

So, all I need to do is flash this, and fr boot?

nandroids are for sissies.

sent from GB hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flyingemu:
Just wiped and flashed mild salsa 2 and no dice on MMS sending.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
you dont need firerats on this build at all, i dont use FR so i am not sure what your steps are
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjoex55:
Keyboard

I just have 1 issue the Keyboard does't come up to sign or Wi Fi. Please advise !! You all have done a great job with this rom. I'm using mild salsa 2.

Thanks for any help.

Joex
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
no navigation still in salsa 2, right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjoex55:
No Navigation at all

The Keyboard won't come up. I tried as best I could,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
So is the keyboard not working with mild Salsa 2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
keyboard : try long pressing a text field, select the kb? I think you would also have to go to the app in /data and "install" as well, before trying to select in a text field.

nav - no, but maps should work. nav app is 3D, and 3D doen't work on this ROM.

Mms: try a third party app...?

@kyle, which decafuct did you use?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Keyboard worked for me in testing everyone with issues did a full wipe?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flyingemu:
Tried Handcent and Chompsms. Both resulted in generic network failure, same issue as stock app.

Are these the correct APN's?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Mild Salsa 2 Keyboard works for me also...... just getting a lot of FC's randomly......I did a full wipe and used FR 180 100......tried fix_permissions......i dunno....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
try the mmszap.apk that oostah posted with instructions, maybe that would work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea mms is messed up ,,it works on a few updates but others it dont,, i need to find the happy medium,, btw,, verizon has a message app and it fixes mms,, does sprint have one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I've been getting sense crashing on me randomly on the home screen or even when I'm in the market. Sense will then reload. Anyone else having this issue? Other than that this ROM has been running wonderfully.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjoex55:
Re Navigation

I find the maps and Navigation don't work, however I'm using Sprint Navigation and it works very good.

Thanks for a great rom.

joex
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
@ Coolaaron88 - try the "autokiller" app at optimum and change your VM heap to 48, see if that works. If it still crashes after that you could try adding this to your build.prop for fun (probably does nothing on sense ROMs).

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

@ jjoex55 - you're a genious, I'll upload the .apk for others in a bit :) unless of course someone else uploads it first.

Edit: here it is Sprint Nav
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Can anybody tell me what stuff your getting fcs on if its messaging stuff it is probably because of my changes

Also im stumped as to how to fix mms
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coffeehandle:
Hey Kyle. I just rooted my phone and this is the first rom i wanted to test. And boooy its sick. Really good job my friend.

I just booted up and tested a few things. I havent tried mms (which seems to be a common issue) but ill let you know how everything works. Again Congrats

EDIT: The MMS isnt working. Downloaded 3 different 3rd party apps too. And tested all of them. and all said download of xxxxx was not successful
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tazzpatriot:
kyle or duce

there is a folder in etc called customer,,, there is a apn in there,,, its chineese or something lol maybe remove that and replace it? i have tried it yet but its worth a shot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flyingemu:
Pushed what i assume to be a correct apns.xml in its place replacing the Chinese version and still no dice on sending an MMS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i just did it and it worked,,, removed the one in there and put in mine and it works
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
you have to wipe the mms data for any change to stick

decca gave me this command
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Riff76:
Giving this a try, need something new to hold me over until E3D comes out

EDIT: Is it supposed to take more than 10 minutes to boot?

Using CWM 2.5.0.7

I wiped everything

Flashed .9

Flashed .9.2

Flashed FR-Boot

Reboot phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] coffeehandle:
yeah it took me a while too
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I would use one of the newer builds then what is in the original post. Mild salsa 2.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flyingemu:
Removed the .db's and rebooted. no dice, same error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Also in regards to the HTC news reader/rss app, I can get the widget but the widget requires the app which doesn't exist in the HTC hub at all. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
Bump for the one's that need it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexdemonumber3:
ohmigawd. Salsa 2 is by far the most amazing rom I've ever loaded on to this trusty ol' hero.

EDIT: Can I flash s0be's 2.6.35 kernel #4 or #5?

Edit again: I keed. s0be's kernel works great :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexdemonumber3:
**** the Sprint devs. kyle and a few others got 2.3.3 running with Sense almost completely stable?! I think thoughtlesskyle should apply for a job with Google to start dev'n fo money :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
is this 2.3.4 now and wheres the download link :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i found it lol downloading back in the game :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alonsoarellano:
so is mms working now? if it is, is it only for sprint user?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexdemonumber3:
Download link is in the mild salsa tazz port thread and yes its 2.3.4 :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
so did this move to the taz port or are there going to be two?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tazzpatriot:
no its not ,, its a build prop error:o its 2.3.3
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
I am using 1 thread for "testing" and this one is for releases so at some point they will merge and I will close the other thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
well that makes sense or you guys make sense :cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I keep checking back here every couple of days to see if BT is operable yet . It first was said that the camera would probably never work and look what happened.. Keep up the great work, much appreciated..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Tazz dropped a teaser for a possible BT fix in the Brave Souls Only thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103649&page=30
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Hey guys sorry for just dropping out but work hours went through the roof and the releases I was doing in the shift kinda killed the rest of my time.

I am glad to see you guys still actively pushing this and that Tazz has stepped in to help.

Just a suggestion is to look into using swap on the hero to help boost the available ram that can be used when needed without actually having to close out a background application. I have been playing with it on the shift due to the size and ram usage of the kingdom port.

seems to help smooth out the day to day operation and doesnt require much work to do.

Also do you gys have an irc channel? if not you should would make it easier for testing and general input
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Hey nfx, I don't know if you saw but theres a new thread with test builds in development section. I remember putting swap in the early cm builds, jaybob put up 3 files, and told us where to put then to enable swap. Do you have something similar? Also if life ever lets go of you, come on over to the thread. Everything works but bt.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
I'm up for it but I have no clue what an irc is or how to use one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Tk,

Pm'd you about irc.

nandroids are for

sissies
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Those rc files exist in the ramdisk. You can swap out the sapphire one for a heroc one in the ramdisk using the Android Kitchen's boot image tools.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
I copied in the init.heroc.rc from the Sense Froyo v8.5 ROM and removed init.sapphire.rc in the ramdisk and reflashed. No noticeable changes, other than it shows up in place of the sapphire one in Root Explorer. Still getting WiFi error and 'No service'.

Got to nandroid back now because I'll need my camera for my son's baseball game tonight.

EDIT: Just saw these entries in the changelog for T-FUS Froyo http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834840

So maybe the heroc.rc is a start, just need to copy over some libs, too?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Other "what works" = some live walls! (that surprised me with the no 3D issue), and I'm curious if anyone tried MMS yet (I know SMS works).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
At some point, we should merge in the changes that we have all made that have not had an adverse affect, like build.prop, xml edits, hero.rc, etc. Also, there's a kinda cool "skins" thing that changes the whole look of the phone, more like espresso builds. I like the sense one better, just putting it out there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
I'll upload my boot.img with the heroc.rc in the morning if nobody else does it tonight. I'm at the ball field most of the evening.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Sweet find, maybe we can kang them from that ROM and put them in here? I did send zen a PM, but also that thread is the v8.1, there was a v8.5 too (better?)here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846493 - hell I just sent a PM to infinite as well. Hopefully we get some clearance to use their stuff, and if we're SUPER lucky they can help us build this thing :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
infinite was the master of gsm ports witch confuses about this because sense this is a gsm based rom shouldnt mobile networks fc witch did not happen to me last night.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Yeah that's a little confusing to me too. My best guess is the .35 kernel fixed that by voodoo. He did just PM me back and said we could kang anything from 8.5 that we want :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
thats pretty sweet. btw i liked your poll options on your last thread lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i was going to flash this baby and wiped my SDCARD!!!! then lost my recovery. found duce's GL post to get me going thanks for S-OFF. going to give it a flash in a lil bit. any special instructions need with this ALPHA dog
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
not really i just straight up wiped every thing that needs it and it booted just fine just know that there isnt a boot animation so youll be stuck on the htc quitley brillent screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
The zip wipes pretty much everything when you flash it so I would wipe cache the rest should take care if itself
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
lol col thanks. that would have stunk after the other stuff. i would have flipped out something was wrong
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
edit on my last post youll be stuck on the htc screen for (awhile)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I've put up some sorta helpful info thus far, have you read the whole thread yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
yes duce i have been following it from page 2. theres alot of info so far hope to be some help. maybe with eris radio and evo prl may make some difference's in how this acts. was a thought.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n33sirgp:
Someone sent me a couple pics a few days ago. I received the messages, but got an error msg stating the file could not be downloaded.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
HOLY CRAP !!!!! I just got a PM from a dev who shall remain unnamed (but is a REAL sense dev:)) until he decides to come forward, here's *some* of that PM, and a FRAKKING LINK *****ES!!! I haven't flashed yet I'm waiting for the DL. I have no idea if you can flash over sense, someone should try, someone should wipe. Awesomesauce.

"If I am right this should correct several issues, should pickup the sprint networks better along with actually saying it is on sprint, possibly the gps should work. Wifi may need more tweaking. if you can get logcats I may be able to track down more issues.

It is also possible it wont boot dew to the changes, logcat it if you can.

I will dig out my old hero later this weekend if needed for more testing."

You guys here that, it might not boot, so be aware. LOGCAT THE BOOT!!! I can't at work, somebody better ! Also LOGCAT THE WIFI. I already found the codes in the log, but again, I'm at work.

#w00t

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8600289/gingersense0.5.zip

EDIT: somebody mirror that so we don't kill the dev's dropbox

EDIT 2: it is NOT signed, so you MUST use CWM recovery...

EDIT 3: md5 of the zip = e7b2c03d768b5ddfe2dad16a47abecda

EDIT 4: somebody please verify that md5, thanks.

EDIT 5: beware bad downloads, I pulled this on 3G...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
I will mirror once I get the file down. No WiFi makes it a beast right now.. will also flash, I'm at home so the brick don't scare me(I know not a real brick) I won't need my phone for a while.. will post results..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
GASP nfinite or zenulator?!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I won't tell ;) Like I said they don't really want to be publicly involved in this AFAIK. There may be more help coming, I sent a bunch of PMs out lol.

BUT he did say to logcat the boot process (which I can't do at work) and logcat the wifi fail (which I can do at work) and PM him, so people on this ROM please try to do that and put up a pastebin of it, I will forward it :)

I never thought I would say this, but I kinda LIKE this ROM. I always thought sense looked pretty but I hated it because it was soooo slow, but NOW, on the 2.3.3 base and sense 2.1, the speed is DRAMTICALLY improved. If this ROM gets to "daily" status ever - I doubt it will lol - I might just have a choice to make for once.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
coninuess to wait on this to be flashed.. Scared to flashh :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i have mediafire if i can figer out how to mirror it i will. i never used it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I am not asking this to be a dink, but is english not your first language? I'm serious. If it is, you need to look at your posts before you hit send, and fix the errors. If it is not, then I apologize.

Also, if you are scared to flash things, maybe you should shy away from a "pre-alpha" build, no?
