[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
With the one in the OP you should be good with "mtd 175 30". I did 225 50. but the bigger you do cache, the less space you have for data, so I would not do 100.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
First initial boot,,,good.......WOW! This is a beautiful rom! Set up my wifi....good, Wireless tether.....awesome! Man, this is one beautiful rom! Oh, I said that already...lol Love it! I'm wireless tethered right now.

Ok, what else needs testing that I can help with?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
If you could put up a log cat of when you connect to wireless tether and also wired tether that would help. A lot of people get reboots on both, myself included. Hell if somebody who reboots on those could put up a log that would be cool too. I'm busy with mothers day stuff, but it would cool to see the difference. I am starting to wonder if its something in the settings between devices.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] arodey:
you said weiner thats funny. i too am very impressed with how well this runs. you all are doing some great work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
AFTER awhile would it be possible to start porting over some of the skins sense we will never have access to the hub?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
we WILL have access to the hub, at least it's "working" on test builds according to nfinite :) HOWEVER, he also said that there are currently NO skins for MDPI yet (since the hub came out for hdpi devices). He said porting them to mdpi shouldn't be "all that hard". I wonder if there's a theme porter for that like there is for AOSP based roms... ???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Here is a log of wireless and wired tether....I use Mobile5-Logcat so its in xml format.

Neat program though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Ok I'll try that, mine is 225 100 now.. Thanks CR..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well later this evening I hope to release a first stable build too testers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Awesome....and it gets better?! Thanks for your time on this for sure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
thats some good news.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
I'm thinking I want in on this.

I'm bored with kicking queefno in the crotch :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Awesome news
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
thx for the double post lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I'm a tester, I'm a tester..:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Must be nice haha im not even one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
That's great news nfinitefx. will gladly donate pay day. This great so far can't imagine what the update will be like.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Just realized something......I didn't have to do a "Market Fix" for Firerats.....huh
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Its because of a tweak that nfinite put in the version in the OP
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
Sweet! 10char
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
I fell like a buzzered watching and waiting for something to die. So I can swoop in and snach it up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
LOL, you are a primary tester as this is your original start
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Haha I didn't hear from you and I heard you say you were going to have people with active phones so I though I was excluded
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rocheforte:
Haha, good to know I'm not the only one watching this thread like crazy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
When NFX version runs on my hero i refuse to take it off. idk if it continues to force close where i cant do a single thing on my phone ill continue to use it :D ..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Well if you need additional testers nfinite, I would be happy to oblige.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
let me just say guys this thread has been up for 1 full week and i am amazed at how far this has come
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rocheforte:
Haha, it seems I'm pretty much the same way. Maybe us Cell South users are just crazy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
kyle this i just amazing how far this has come. you picked a great rom for us all. thanks to the community to get this up and going seeing that none of you have a hero any more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Right,. Cellular South Are Very Slow About Updates.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i have another project in the pipeline too, you guys like gingerbread right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
How About You Do The Sense 3.0
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
OOOO YAA man fresh and hot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Easier said than done mostly since there hasn't been an arm6 phone with 3.0 yet and also that it would rape our gpu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
Do we even have a gpu to rape??

Sent from my... wait.. what..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dreign:
i just have to say i know im not smart enough to do what you guys have done so mad respect to everyone here developing, testing, finding fixes. you guys are genius and i cant wait till its done
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
im pretty sure its there but android itself rapes it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Sorry, I'm not a tester, just wanted to be one.. Nfinite said it would be released to testers and I said "I'm a tester".. sorry for the confusion..:o Hey, we're all testers..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Test release is posted, testers will be notified.

HEROC_GB_SENSE.0.9

General info for all, once the test goes release.

Ok A few bsaics:

*-The mtd part text file is included in the rom with the current sizes set. This is for initial release will be adjusted at a later point

*-Boot is fairly quick, but loading does still take a few.

*-if you see a phone fc dont worry it is just because so much info is being written to data during initialization

*-once you get to the home screen , give it about 5 to 10 minutes to get updating finished then you will see how the system actually runs.

-if you are testing this release please do not modify anything at first as we are trying to find bugs.

-if you find one please report it as thoroughly as possible.

Also if you can try to wipe or format everything you can, even sdcard if possible to make sure nothing from other roms carries over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
nfinite still has it Thanks for all you do brother I can't wait to take this for a drive.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Thanks man well give them a few days to run it through and then there will probably be a general release for all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Now would you help with oour Honeycomb port?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
lovely sense roms wipe wipe format wipe wipe format boot lol

still cant wait to run this baby
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
ouch a few days this is worse than crack.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brickster:
No doubt!:eek: lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
@oostah Did you get that music problem fixed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well let me see once this gets as close to complete as possible
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
Thank You So MUCH! <3
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
Fdx yes some how i lost all my music but not the album art or info and my media player on my pc quit so it was not able to read any thing. i did as you said got my media player backup and running. then synced it got some jams now. i beat you slept good last night lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
You know it lol glad you got it workin:-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
would honeycomb run on the hero? didnt think it could handle it. isn't honeycomb for duel core systems. i no its been ported to phones but they have better cpu and room for it. can this be done? lol

this is xda any thing can and will be done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
Personally I didn't think it was possible either. I just tried it out for fun to see if it was even possible. Lol. Boy was I surprised that it booted up. I just got very lucky.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
This thread quieted down. I guess everyone is too busy testing? Can't wait to hear how it goes.:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
I've been running it since it came out as my daily, The only problem with me is bluetooth not working as we have a "hands free" law here in MD. and I need it for that.. I'm waiting for the next update to see if thats fixed. Otherwise its a keeper for me..:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Update coming soon :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
That's what I'm talking about :D:D:D:D:D

I assume it's going well then.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Something really good must be coming! I feel the sensibility of the gingerbread!!;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
good things.. mozzle mozzle.. nfinite is the man..

and thoughtlesskyle many thanks for setting this in motion.. oh and Ducey for puppetering behind the scenes..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
"puppeteer" has a nice ring to it lol :)

see next post for update, some good stuff, some weird stuff, some NEEDED changes before you flash

@all - please read next post carefully...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
UPDATE:

Thanks to thoughtlesskyle for the port :)

Thanks to nfinitefx45 for the fixes and updates :)

Thanks to s0be for the .35 kernel fork :)

HEROC_GB_SENSE0.9_signed.zip link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5669105/HEROC_GB_SENSE.0.9_signed.zip

md5 = 6a086d057ea71afed0a2d3d0268d7d77

PLEASE PUT UP MIRRORS

!!!!!! << see those exclamations?

The /system partition runs at around 230 and the /cache partition runs around 10. FYI: nfinitefx45 built the mtdpartmap.txt "mtd 245 15" and FR-boot INTO the ROM.zip flash (version 1.5.3). IMPORTANT: this means you have enough room to flash other mods to /system, BUT you would need to flash FR-boot after that, as per firerat S.O.P. Also, this means if you change MTD it will be overwritten if/when you reflash the ROM. You should be well versed on firerat MTD before moving forward.

The install is as follows: wipe ALL, flash FR-recovery, wipe ALL, reboot recovery, flash ROM, reboot. It is also recommended that you have an s-off bootloader, since FR is a recovery modification. It installed fine for the testers, so YMMV. But be warned, bricks are your fault, not someone elses :p Also, the CPU frequencies are now 245xxx (needs to be fixed, keep reading) - 729xxx (careful, some phones can only handle 691xxx). You need an overclock method (setCPU, overclock widget) to change the frequencies to 264xxx - 691xxx.

NEW:

1) odexed system boots in about 2 minutes :) home screen load takes longer lol

2) "HTC likes" app works

3) "HTC hub" app works

4) bookmarks widget now available (from HTC hub)

5) CPU boots into ondemand 245-729

6) native USB & wireless tether work - sometimes disconnects or reboots

7) GPS works (nav app still fails due to 3D)

8) long press power does not show reboot menu - use "quickboot" app for now.

9) native email app doesn't work for pop accounts - use provider apps.

10) Boot animation back to stock for now.

11) recommended app "spare parts" = set window and transition anim. to FAST

12) the ROM.zip is now edify, and signed - thanks nfinitefx45 :)

The "list" continued:

1) 3D textures still not working - do NOT update google maps to 5.4.0

2) bluetooth still not working.

3) wifi works, random "error" fixed by a reboot.

4) camera still not working - don't get your hopes up.

5) model says PG06100, but apps seem to read hero200.

6) PRI not working - shows "not ready"

7) network still "unknown" - shows "no service"

8) HTC widgets work (sometimes you need to install more than once).

9) data transfers on wifi sometimes fail, but work on 3G

10) random FC on blah.radio.blah - ignore

...there's probably more that I'm forgetting...

nfinitefx45 built this ROM from source and merged the working changes from the OP. He is also now working on a new RUU source build which was updated, hopefully it will fix *some* of the issues :)

This is still considered "alpha".

ENJOY !!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HEROEVO:
Duce, you and Nfinite are amazing to get this as far as you did!

This is an exciting time for the heroc with all the new ROMs and ports.

MediaFire Mirror: http://www.mediafire.com/?0dx2xvcdo6x2aw1

Please validate MD5!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
i cant mirror until later when i get home.. but i will then..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Brutal!!! :D:D:D

When installing it says Ginger Sense 0.8. No biggie...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
FYI, for those who read before flashing (RTFM?!?!), the newest release uses Edify scripting, and is obviously signed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
dude, you are blowing the rest of us away right now with your "limited skill set"..

i cant wait to give this a try, i am not a sense advocate, but i love the thrill of a new fresh rom that needs to be worked out.. thanks so much for this.. once i am not working and dont need my phone, i will flash..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Ahhh hell yes! I got boot animation to work :) FYI It lives in /system/customize/resource - I used one called "green laser light". Also there was one in there already, which made me realize there WAS in fact boot animation, only it wasn't animated. I will edit my earlier post to reflect this.

At some point I am going to have to try ADW EX on sense framework and see how she flies .....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] griffincash:
Yes it works, but i was wondering if you could post or PM me your build.prop, Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
@ griffincash, sure. XDA doesn't recognize .prop, so if you want use this one just delete the .txt extension. Honestly I have no idea if I have done anything bad in there, but everything still works. Make a nandroid just in case, and YMMV.

@ TK, if you want to throw that build.prop in there (if griffincash also reports non-borking) go for it.

Now, so far in the "doesn't work" category, we have:

1) /system partition is larger than 170mb, you NEED to use firerats, suggested sizes = mtd 200 100

2) 3D textures (makes lots of apps not work - like nav)

3) bluetooth

4) wifi

5) camera - probably NEVER EVER EVER gonna work (HTC propietary drivers :mad:)

6) settings/about phone/phone ident/model shows "HTC magic" (I tried to change in build.prop to no avail)

7) settings/about phone/software/PRI shows "not ready", ROM cannot read "PRI" for some reason

8) settings/about phone/network/operator name shows "unknown", OS says "no service" due to that but service DOES work, I think this is related to the PRI error

9) both wired and wireless tether (might be the kernel and NOT the ROM)

10) more ?

THIS ROM NEEDS MORE TESTERS !!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
really wireless tether was working fine but wired caused reboots
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ubnub82:
My Hero hates Sense.

E: No space left on device

E: Error writing boot:

BOOT:

This error always happens when I flash a Sense 2.2+ rom. Anyone know why? Tried it with RA and CWM but it always gets the same error :(. I really want to test this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
ok cool, then my apps FC is because I was moving them from /data/app to /system/app - that reboot is the kernel, ap4 and ap5 both were rebooting for me on aospCMod. That SHOULD be more fixable than some of the issues with the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
So my question is if putting the sense camera in isn't possible what about putting the aosp one in?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] griffincash:
Sounds like you are using firerats mod to me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lows10:
I flashed the miui for cm and well no luck actually my HTC clock Widgets were gone weird I know only other thing I flashed was the SD card speed zip so idk I'm back on cm cause I forgot to save a # but I am noticing now that it finds where I'm located still but don't update my locations weather but updates all the other locations it worked when I flashed the first time then idk after making a nandroid I went to sleep don't remember if the weather for my location was still there I just know its not working anymore said couldn't find my location or something when I go to the HTC weather apk but all the other city's load fine?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
im talking about wired tether from google.code causes reboots usb tether in settings just didnt do anything and i havnt tried easy tether or pda net but id imagine they would work because they dont rely on the kernal
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
@ kyle - afaik sense after 2.1 will NEVER have a working camera, I read that the cam drivers are proprietary within sense by HTC, I think it was Elilinux over in GSM Hero forums that said it, also, if it were possible, somebody probably would have done it to a froyo sense ROM. Maybe there's a way, but I surely don't know what it is.

@ ubnub - it's user error, somehow you must be doing something wrong. I would suggest you use firerats and set the sizes as I said earlier "mtd 200 100" - also, You should probably be using CWM recovery, I recommend 2.5.0.1 for this ROM (until Kyle makes it an edify zip, then I recommend CWM 3.0.2.4 GL).

@ bierce - I was using the apps from the market, and I know the kernel reboots on tether most of the time, maybe not all of the time, across ROMs, trust me it's the kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ssojyeti2:
This is ****'n awesome!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] griffincash:
Didn't the camera work on the old wildfire froyo sense port?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
yes it did but i remeber they ported it from another rom not sure witch one though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
it worked but not well i downloaded the pancake version and its very distorted so however it was done it was enough to get picture but that was it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
has anyone tried camera360 or the miui cam yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lows10:
I just tried camera 360 all it did was try and start the camera it was a no go I flashed the miui camera and it never showed up on the OS so Idk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Well that's a good sign, maybe a ray of hope?

@ bierce and lows - it's not the app, it's the drivers that control the camera itself
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lows10:
Ya don't bother me I'm loving this Rom even for an alpha build :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
ha, I didn't notice that, just added to the unofficial changelog post @ #12, thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Can this be done from recovery, changing to 691 ?

Also do you mean the phone has to be x-off ?

This installed fine for me as per instructions, but is stuck at HTC white screen..

Thanks..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
It probably isnt stuck this is a large rom and will load in the background for quite some time before you get the setup screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TJinWV:
I had to flash twice - the first attempt just took me back into recovery after rebooting system. IDK, probably user error. Anyway, the second attempt worked, and I'm up and running! Letting the kernel settle in before banging around on it much.

EDIT: Does anyone else get the Select Your Carrier screen at the beginning of the setup wizard? I haven't heard anyone mention it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Thanks, I'll let'er load....:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
no, but 729 isn't crazy high, just change it as instructed IF you get random reboots, otherwise leave it, it means your phone can clock that high :)

"S-OFF" and no you don't HAVE TO do that, but I would recommend it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
If I get a chance I will edit another version of the boot img to boot at 691, but currently testing another newer build from the latest ruu, so a little busy at the moment
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
You're the first, if there's a "skip" option, do that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Hey did you build that into the kernel config or use init.d ? If it was init I can modify it and change the link either later today or tomorrow - hopefully.

You just keep working the new new sexy :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
it is in the init.heroc in the kernel
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Houndog101:
Thanks Duce and nfinate, yes it just needed more time, booted fine...:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:

Aye-aye, cap'n! Plenty of space and bandwidth to go around!

HEROC_GB_SENSE.0.9_signed.zip​
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iceflow420:
Great work guys, this rom came together really quick.

I have wanted a Sense rom for a long time and would jump all over this except I need my camera. I heard a Dev say we didn't have drivers, not sure why we couldn't use the old ones, but I'm no dev.

I will be watching this rom closely, in envy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kippswanson:
Well crap, that's the last two versions that haven't worked for me. I wiped, flashed, and got the reboot-to-recovery thing. Tried Virus's superwipe and flashed again, got the same thing. Oh well, this is my old phone, so no biggie. I'll just wait for the next release. My wife is still on her Hero though, but she needs her camera. Still fun for me to be able to play with this.

Curious on why the camera will never work though?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
camera is in the "no hope" category atm. No sense ROM has had a working cam after android 2.1 :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
HTC has a custom proprietary driver that they use for sense and they never open sourced sense so we cant build against it to make it work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dreign:
you guys are amazing flashing now
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
are you flashing the fr boot after flashing the rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
updated the OP post is almost identical as il duces post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
im bout to test the new update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Thanks dude, I was bookmarking my posts for future updates lol.

EDIT: "il Duce" not "ill duce" - pretty please I love you.

EDIT2: lmfao "fresh cookies"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jadenj5:
Will it ever be small enough yo use with cwm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
I think you meant "will it ever be small enough to use without firerats custom MTD" right? Because CWM is the recovery that is currently recommended with this ROM. And to answer your Q, I doubt it, trimming 50mb out of the ROM would be brutal lol, she is a fatty. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Amazing job on this to all involved! I can't beleive how far you've taken this in such a short time!

@nfinite - it's great to see your colorful avatar floating around HeroC land again! Thanks for lending a hand and your time to this project, it's very much appreciated!

I was going to flash this and noticed it was mentioned that the preferred recovery is CWM. I'm expecting to get the "try it and see" response to this, so please be gentle. If I wipe the phone in fastboot (fastboot erase system -w) and then install w/ RA 1.7 will there be any issues, or does this absolutely only work w/ CWM? I've been using FR for a while now so no issues there, I'm just curious about my recovery. Mainly due to the fact that I've never used CWM before :eek: and I'd like to stick w/ RA if I can.

BTW, thanks for building fr-boot into the ROM. One less step for the rats! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
works fine with RA and CWM recoveries ALL Versions. So enjoy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
Thanks nfinite!
