[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Just flashed this on my nTelos Hero - just the ROM from the OP, not with il Duce's build.prop. Just documenting my experience as it happens.

Took a while (~5 minutes) for first load. Waited another minute, still have no service.

First swipe of screen to unlock returned an FC for acore. Then the white HTC screen came up again while things loaded. I now have bars and some EvDo activity.

Setup wizard:

First screen - Select your carrier (CCI, TracFone, Voce, Ztar). I selected CCI.

Second screen - Selected English (UK)

Skipped typing tutorial, set mobile or wifi for internet connection, set automatic sync, use google location, did not set up accounts.

UI loaded. I know I'm in the minority, but I do love me some sense.

My phone knows it is an nTelos phone - notification pull down and lock screen both say nTelos. Software info says PRI not ready, Software number Gingersense, Kernel is s0be AP 5.

Placed and received a call. I don't have a txt package (I use google voice for text), so I can't test it.

Started market, realized I forgot to sign in to google, so it prompted me. Market loaded - there is no Sprint tab, there is an HTC tab where I've had a My Apps tab in the past.

Time is set to military time. Temperature is set to Celcius.

I turned GPS on in the notification dropdown and opened Maps. It opened to the UK, but found me when I clicked home (I'm not on a wifi network).

Lock screen and notification bar both now say 'no service'. Earlier they said 'nTelos'.

Wireless Tether started and seems to work. I don't have anything to connect to it currently, though (I'm on my desktop at work - shhhh).

I don't have a camera app?

Well I haven't been able to get my carrier name back.. once I get to a computer there are a few things i want to look at as far as fixing WiFi and the carrier name.. I will post my findings..

I am also going to run this today and see how it works under pressure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I got it to show Sprint. I set up fr mtd 200 100. Fresh flash no prop. What I did was hit wait when I got the phone fc, before the OS loaded. I was able to duplicate that same process and result. I then did another fresh flash and hit fc, got no svc and then duplicated that again.

Edit: lost it for no reason lol. Now says no service.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] griffincash:
Yes same here after a new install shows up for a bit then disappears
[Hero CDMA Android Development] griffincash:
I know it still sucks and is laggy on 2.1, but has anyone tried to install htc flash lite
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I'm using it now and I am am very impressed, yes I know its an alpha but its like a new awakening seeing the marriage of Sense and Gingerbread....on OUR phones. If we could just get LED lights and Bluetooth working, I could live with that. God Speed to everyone who is helping test for bugs and make this ROM better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Is this for cdma hero?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Hopefully nfinite our some other dev type can dig in, thanks again.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
have yall uploaded the new updates into one rom yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
Unofficially, yes, 0.9.3 has all the updates:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Man this ROM is soooo sexy. I hope we can get it to "beta", the only things that bug me are: dialer lag, 3D textures, and the sprint banner/network name issue. Everything else is pretty nice, and I don't use BT or camera that much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I'm holding out hope for the camera. Bt, I don't care too much about, but I like camera. me like cookie, too.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
If you need the cam, just flash the china zip, it works, and oostah put up some build prop tweaks to get it to work better. I am relatively sure that so long as nfx doesn't leave us, the camera will work one way or another. If it works on sfm's thread and the chinese port and others, it *should* work here in a merged complete zip. We shall see.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i think china has a finished working GB SENSE they have a rom on there page. weres oldgost. maybe he can get at the rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
What do you mean? Define "working", and yeah, where is oldghost? What time is it in china? Maybe he is sleeping/working lol. We need a translator or an intermediary, maybe idogx can actually help us?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Flash the rom? I'd have to brush up on my mandarin.....

That chinese page is crazy. I suppose ours looks crazy to them, too.

Here's a mirror of the ROM floating around yesterday. I haven't seen the latest, though... http://www.mediafire.com/?jvo6mfchi2qiltp
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Thanks, grabbing now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Hmm unable to flash any of those signed zips from China. Should I be able to?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
do you have firerat's cMTD installed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I have both the recovery and boot 1.5.8 versions of firerat on my SD card. Did I need anything else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
With the 1st download we got from then you don't need cMTD.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
So could I flash the China camera build without Frats?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
It should still load with fr, as long as mtdpartmap.txt is set accordingly, tho, right?

i'm getting ready to flash heroc_signed_china_camera.zip and wanna make sure....I dont know which version this zip is, i couldn't figure out how to sign up for the forums that host idogx's roms.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
What should the mtdpartmap.txt be set at?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I am trying to figure that out. i think I'll just try mtd 190 15 and see what happens

Then if it boots, you can df -h it and see where you stand...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I just flashed the zip with Camera in its name and I did it without firerats. Everything does work including the camera, even though it can be a little wonky sometimes. Bluetooth is the only thing that doesnt work as of now. Obvious optimizations will have to be made but Im liking it so far. Will continue testing.

EDIT: There is nothing in my Android Market :/ AT ALLL xD

EDIT2: Nevermind, you just have to manually search for stuff. There was nothing on the main page when you open the market

EDIT3: It was running fine and then my phone rebooted and when it came back up "Sprint" as the carrier was gone and said no service again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
oostah posted the latest chinese revision earlier today, check back in the thread for his post. I have it on my home comp, but I work late. It's in here somewhere. Keep looking. Also, the chinese build sits REALLY close to the 170mb /system threshold, so yeah, 190 15 should work fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I believe the 5/16 version is the latest version correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
If your recovery is already setup with cMTD just road fr boot after flashing the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
fyi they are talking about the china rom, not nfx's builds.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
I know. That's why I said flash fr boot if you flash a Rom that doesn't have it built in, but have the recovery flashed with fr recovery. If no one gets bits and pieces from both roms together and working, I should have some time tomorrow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kevphan08:
Normal Flash?

I was wondering if i could flash this normally. I don't use the firerat mod's or anything so didn't know if for those who don't use FR if it's still "safe" to flash it.

If it is, which one do you flash, i noticed two downloadable links, but didn't know if it was necessary to flash the 9.0 then the later or either.

alright thanks for the help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
No, this can not be flashed without firerats. The stock system partition is only 175 MB, and this ROM is about 225 MB.

The chinese HeroC GB with the working camera (linked a couple posts above) will fit on a stock partition, but it is not supported by any active devs here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
SIMPLY PUT....

ANY ROM NOT POSTED BY NFINITEFX45 OR IN THE OP ARE MORE THAN LIKELY BUILDS FROM CHINA. DON'T ASK HOW TO FLASH IT OR WHAT IT IS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Well I did flash the build from China and just testing it but I will await an actual post from nfinite
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Sorry for the delay, just work being extremely busy, I hope to have a look at all of this tomorrow evening.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
My bad. Hope you can get .0.9.3 or .0.9.4 working with the camera.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Mandarin or cantonese?

Lmao. On a side note old ghost just popped up in aospcmod, I asked him to come on over and help us.

EDIT:

HELLS YEAH! oldghost just PM'd me said he would help translate, I'm going to link him this thread and idogx's profile, and his thread at diypda, hopefully this can help all involved :)

EDIT 2: Just looked at idogx's third post over on diypda, looks like he has a new skin and a working sense 3.0 lockscreen? WOW, hopefully oldghost will come through and we can actually work WITH idogx, instead of compete :)

i saw that they are making great progress on it. need to go see if i can get to the completed rom and it would not let me get to the lock screen ether.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Duce, old.ghost pm'd me also, I sent him your way for info. I am not as involved as you. :p

Make sure and tell him shi shi ning! I'm sure that's spelled incorrectly, but it means "Thank you" in chinese.

gsm hero has a full working port -BT.

I vote we use this one for a new base :)

Looks like they have .29 kernel in it.

Also looks like BT is the hangup.

Maybe we can get this one with the "extras" like HTC hub/likes/skins/3.0 lock :D

EDIT: looks like the original ROM from sebastian FM has the 3.0 lock too. MAN I really wish I could "dev" and not just "tweak" lol

Hey check this out! Sense 3 camera app works on sense 2, has panorama? If someone on idogx's ROM would give this a try, I'd be curious to know if it works. ALSO, maybe if we actually integrate all the port madness of late, we can have this sweet app too?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
ok guys once I get home tonight I will jump on this and see wht can be done , I think I will revert to the old 29 kernel and see if it makes everything else work.

Sorry I have just been busy at work and also working on the shift as you can see for your selves.

Gingerbread leak for shift

Kingdom Port to shift (sense 3.0)

So I will redirect myself to this once again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I *think* that "idogxx" has a current cdma port on the chinese site www.diypda.com based off sfm 1.0 with lockscreen 3.0, sense 2.1, cam, and all :) Hope you can make the magic happen. Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Currently looking on the forums to see if that ROM does exist. Fingers crossed xD

working on a version now its basically the chinese rom ported against the sfm ROM its working but i am having some kernel issues i will keep you posted if i get it working
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
old.ghost pmed me he got the nice rom from idogx, I think it has sense 3.0 lock screen, its already cdma, he said he would upload and link me :) my guess it'll be tomorrow due to the time difference (14 hrs ahead of central time)

Hey Duce. How does the pre order work with Best Buy for the Evo 3D. Radio Shack has you pay $50 and they give you a $50 Gift Card to use on the purchase of the phone. Really thinking about preordering one instead of waiting for them to release it. Also, have you heard on any release dated. Radio Shack said all they were showing was that the date hasn't been set.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
best buy's policy is pretty much the same $50 and get a $50 gift card, in case you never knew i work there ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] n33sirgp:
Would you happen to have any ideas as to when the release date might be??? :D

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Hopefully we get a taste of that with the Sense 3.0 lock screen on our Heros haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
here is the new version (not nfinitefx official)

this is the Chinese rom ported against wildhero with an updated kernel (decafuct uncapped)

what works

-camera

-camcorder (no review, and must drop the res in settings to record)

-most other stuff

what doesn't

-bluetooth

-camera zoom

-camcorder review doesn't (go into gallery to watch)

-a few other things that i cant test

just a note phone will give a FC option just hit wait and it will work fine

this is honestly much further along than i ever expected it would get i would call this "beta" standards

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mccandroid:
Ran the latest unofficial build for a few minutes before bed w/o any problems, just the 1 fc already mentioned. About a minute on the splash screen, about 5 mintues on the boot screen (no animations, just "htc quietly brilliant"). still says no service instead of sprint. Also, I tried running quadrant, and instead of asking if I was okay with it sending away for the results it just went back to the quadrant main menu. Temps and dates also in non-us format by default.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Im having issue getting this ROM to boot correctly. I wiped, flashed and then rebooted and it said 'HTC" For about 10 seconds and then it rebooted and has been on HTC for the last 10 minutes now. Any way of fixing this issue? Thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mccandroid:
Best advice I can offer is telling you exactly what I did which was this: Using ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5

Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. Then under Mounts & Storage: Format boot, system, data, cache. Under advanced: wipe Dalvik Cache.

After all that I flashed the rom, and it took about 10 minutes before it was all said and done. Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Perfect. It worked perfectly. Thank you :)

Ugh, my phone doesn't like wild_cdma. :( Flashed it three times and got hung on the boot screen all three. CWM 2.5.0.7, otherwise I did the same steps as mccandroid above, as well as trying once flashing fr recovery/fr boot. Any ideas?

did you either remove firerat OR set up your mtd accordingly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Setcpu Autoset me to 614max-352min is that good?

Sense Gingerbread ROM from China

I'm glad to get Sense Gingerbread ROM from my friend idogxx from China and would like to share to you all. Hope you can try it out and let me know your questions and suggestions.

idogxx migrated this ROM from HTC wildfire_s(A510E) which is used on GSM phone. And fortunately this ROM is now running on HTC Hero CDMA, although it is at very beginning phase during developing, it looks most phone functions are working. Maybe not very perfect but it is a great step to success.

idogxx is still working on some items like camera(intermittently reboot),wifi hotspot and bluetooth. Will update once they're fixed.

Now idogxx is trying to migrate HTC wildfire_s(A510C) ROM to our Hero because A510C is designed for CDMA protocol. It may be more stable and less bugs. Let's wait for him...;)

Here are the links for ROM, skin and HTC Lockscreen:
