Yep. I haven't been using Jiee's great rom lately, sorry guys. I'll work on the updated extras tonight.

I won't do the translations until the final version. It's very time consuming, and you have to do it everytime Jiee pops out a new version.

JieeHD, if you can, fix the lights sensor, for example. Would be nice to have that working on the final version, which should be close.

It's just me or the wildlockscreen with 3.3 breaks phone.apk?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Hey..i got an idea... if we can't use sense 3.0, that doesn't mean that we can't use some things from it...

I like the most the weather widget...WHY? because i feel it more little consuming that the one we got...:D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062962

i got on with this link..is there any way for us to port this?...:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
I already had some thoughts about this in coproduction with jieeHD (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1147202) as the thread stefpaul mentioned above already marked them as "ported", i played around a bit, always giving me errors or not working. so i doubt if we can get this.. but nevermind, jieeHD obviously forgot about my thread (?), hope this post reminds him and maybe he'll find some solution :) *calling JieeJDs attention* :D

got some stupid question though: whats the difference between "original lock" and the one included in the rom? just for restoring original after flashing the wildfire one? ^^

greets, SummonerOfDeath
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
@ the lock ... it depends on what type of lockscreen people want on the phone (and yes to the answer..you choose what you want...)

@ Widgets ... i just want the weather and lockscreen with weather...and i thing these 2 can work without any problems...or this is what is in my mind:))))

i see that nobody made a flash.zip with rosie 0.19 in the thread...but don't understand why:confused:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirilliz:
hi,

thanks for this rom. i have used it for a couple of days now and its pretty good!!

just two things: i can´t seem to get the gmail app running and the weather and clo9ck widgets won´t work O.o

i can´t find gmail in the market. and the clock widge doesn´t show up after i added it on the hoemscreen. the weather widget works bu gives erormeassages when i want to open the app. any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:
ROM feels pretty good despite the fact that it misses Russian language, and even though I managed to set it via morelocale, I am still missing Russian dialpad very much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
As i said I will create the all languages version when Jiee makes the final version.

The Sense 3.0 ports... I've tried porting calendar/messages app/mail app/contacts app.

Very unsuccessful... Force closes, and I had to restore the apps.

I don't know about a rom port... From the HTC Sensation. Don't know how possible that would be... would be nice if it was possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slashigol:
You can go for this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1181033 to get Gmail application stand alone.

After install it, don't forget to check box on google synchronize menu to get email pushing to your phone.

*calling JieeJDs attention* Camera Issues

I love this great ROM, but the camera is freeze each I want to capture the picture. In the first time I use this ROM, I still able took the picture twice. After that, it freeze and hanging out. Need Help to fix it!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
It's a kernel issue, the camera is very unstable at 5mp, change it to 3mp and you should be fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Hi, did anyone manage to get Text To Speech to work in this ROM? Would be great if someone can show how. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Camera works ;-)

I don't know about the instant shot feature, could be there :P try it ;)

(btw cam works max at 3MP, shouldn't be a problem though ;-))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
what's instant shot?

man, just after I flash back to my 2.1 sense rom...

EDIT: I googled the htc sensation, now I know what instant shot is.

you know what this rom really does?

it makes me want to buy an HTC sensation :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
by the way, did I mention that I really like this rom aside from the phone not working and the reboots when restoring from tit backup?

just wanted to be sure you know how much I appreciate the work from you and erasmux on these gb sense projects.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I'll try and fix this bug in the next couple days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
dang - that was fast. I'll try it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Doesn't seem to work, I'll hopefully fix it tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
sure enough, doesn't work. oh well, thanks for trying :-)

one thing - with LV4.6 usb plugged in showed the usb drive mode option menu like it should - with stock kernel usb didn't do anything but charge the device. it's aknown thing from older versions but worth noting here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Thanks for the heads up, I use LV personally anyway so I hadn't noticed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
If anyone having the problem with calls has Gtalk and is willing to test an update can they please PM me, I cant personally test as I don't have the issue :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manachinmaniac:
Calls

I'm lovin' the ROM but the great downside is I can't make any calls. Please fix ASAP. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
is tryed something and it works.

The salsa has a hardware button to share something to facebook, the Facebook button.

I remapd my call button to do the same as the facebook button, and working great !!

it's easy to do

find "hero-keypad" in \system\usr\keylayout\

edit hero-keypad with root explorer

change key 231 to "key 231 HTC_SHARE "

and after a reboot your hardware call button works the same as the f-button.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Thanks for the tip arno, I'll remap the search key in the next update ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tim149:
plz dont i like my search key the way it is. :P

but keep up the good work ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arnoslag:
You can remap it to any hardkey if you want, i use the call button because i always use the onscreen button.

and i use the search button often.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
same here. I always forget that I have a phone hard button, but I use search (especially long pressing search to various extended control type apps) all the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey JieeHD - didn't work :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] musikenigma:
How is your next update, JieeHD ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Testing a build atm, it may be released depending on how things go.

Okay, all seems well, calls are working now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
ROM is uploading now. Got some nice Neocore scores: 46.5 FPS :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
With all textures visible? Not like on aosp ginger roms?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slashigol:
Thanks!! I will give it to try......:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Hey JieeHD, are you planning to release a signed version of the rom so that members using AmonRa, can also install it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Don't need a full port off the sensation... but if we can port some widgets id would be great...i see that JieeHD has ported some stuff...

If someone can make me a kick start on some coding stuff i would help:D

Stefan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Use this http://www.mediafire.com/?50vzd2a9u2sdmrm to flash CWM. Flash the ROM and then use this http://www.mediafire.com/?2vqdyc6ecwzicto to flash Amor-Ra back. Else wait for JeeHD to release a signed copy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks Cortiis, I have ClockworkMod and AmomRa already. Just don't like Clockwork as the last time I used it, it just screwed up my Hero.

Patiently, we wait for the signed version................
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
Nice new features but now there are many missed (german) translations :

- almost any in notification bar

- almost any in popups like ringer volume

- its only possible to select german, english, french, turkish for germany, austria and switzerland in settings

Many reloads of sense, I never had that often in 2.5.

- around 50mb (54 to 48) of free ram no matter if any widget is fully loaded or not

- funny enough no or only rarely reloads after any other app was running (tested with a combination of gMaps and Navigation)

apps2ext works fine so far.

It's still one the best roms. Even other roms I tested have that mermory issue to load the homescreen properly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Is it only the 3.5 patch you need signed? I'll sign it for you :)

Hero you go
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Ho ho. I din't realize that RC3.5 was a 2.5 MB patch (I thought it was the full package), else I would have done it myself. My bad....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks Habarug. I will update version 3.0 with your patch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Testing out some new mem killer values today, some improvements in multi tasking and speed. I'll most likely release RC4 by Thursday.

Sense 3.0 weather porting

Have fun:D...Look at the link i let a few pages ago and see if you cand do something with the weather widget and lockscreen from sense 3.0...i think it's better optimized...

Have a nice day, Stefan;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Will do :)

Any chance to get USB Tethering to work with Linux?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Hey JieeHD! Just a little request, Can you add the 480000 Mhz freq to the kernal, 352 Mhz is too low for my phone and 518 mhz becomes too much for my phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Sure thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
?

What linux distribution do you use?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
480 to 518 isn't a noticeable difference. 480 wont' help battery life at all versus 518. and 518 is the stock speed so I'm sure your phone can run at 518 just fine. and if your phone can't run at 352 which, I think, is the lower clock speed used in stock hero roms anyhow (very distant memory here so I could be wrong, but I think stock hero kernel runs at 518/352), then there is something very wrong going on with the flash of the rom on your phone or with your phone hardware itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
The problem I'm facing is that sometimes I get a purplish screen when I wake it from sleep that is sometimes. But If you think running screen off at 518 Mhz or 480 Mhz will use almost the same battery, then it's fine with me I'll use it at 518 Mhz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
That's not a frequency issue, it's a kernel issue. I don't know how it happens (not a kernel dev). But I'm pretty sure that riemer is aware of it and is working hard to fix it. I'm not sure though as I haven't spoke to him in a while.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:
Linux Mint 10 and Ubuntu 11.04

Wired tether used to work perfectly well with 2.2 and 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Looking forward to trying this out! Lets see if I can get this flashed this time! :P :D

Just wondering is there a newer version of Amon_RA V1.7.0.1 ?

As its only this rom that I cant get flashed....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Rom flashes fine with that version of Amon, just wipe fully again and wait a long time : )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
...........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
Just to answer some questions...

-no, AFAIK there is no newer AmonRa than 1.7.0.1, youve got the latest :) i doubt Amon will really put the effort of building v3 into an outdated device like hero.

- lockscreen is possible, weather is veeeeeeeeeeery resource hungry, i am sure it wont work fluid even @748MHz.

- i did that rosie 0.19 update zip, but it had about 250MB which is more than the actual ROM we're talking about! as my internet s*cks, i am not willing to upload this ;) (would take... eehh...dunno, 6 hours?^^) there are tutorials out there, it shouldn't be too hard to write an update zip yourself & signing it ;)

i tried flashing just the new rosie 3 to /system/app, didn't work (got some strange problems sometimes with zips restarting my recovery instead of flashing which obviously noone can explain)

now to the actual ROM and @JiieHD:

- for me, this rom is a battery killer.

Stats: Android System 86%, Mobile Standby 7%, Mobile inactive 6%, WLAN 3%, Display 2%, Bluetooth 1%.

Battery went down from 3pm 100% to 8pm 40% and it clearly seems rom related (86% system?! never had this before... whats that mobile doin all the time?!)

hope you can fix that.

btw: just found one easter egg ;) thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Hey let me help...

1.Tell me the processor settings on the phone

2. Do you let data all the time on?

3. Display settings...

4.When upgrading to 3.0 did you do a full wipe or just upgraded and after that upgraded again to 3.5

5. 3rd party applications installed;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
I cant flash the 3.5 update:

E:Missing file:

Boot.img

E:Verification Failed

Installation Aborted.

3.0 is working for me though! (Finally!) :D Looking forward to flashing the 3.5 update.

How do I stop the stupid 'authorize the HTC Salsa F-Button' popup?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Did you calibrate your battery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Try my zip in post #1186...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
stefpaul:

Hey let me help...

1.Tell me the processor settings on the phone

Stock Settings. Surprisingly not overclocked this time :D maybe should do this again for more battery life? ;D just joking..

2. Do you let data all the time on?

nope. disabled most of the time.

3. Display settings...

most darkest possible, 45 sec timeout.

4.When upgrading to 3.0 did you do a full wipe or just upgraded and after that upgraded again to 3.5

from elelinux full wipe (factory,cache,dalvik, battery stats) then flashing RC3, then RC 3.5, then Status Bar Mod.

5. 3rd party applications installed

just installed skype, icq, updated facebook, whatsapp.

JiieHD:

Did you calibrate your battery?

did wipe battery stats when installing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Battery calibration involves wiping the battery stats, letting it fully drain to 0% then fully charging to 100% and repeating if necessary.

BTW, for anyone who is interested, here is a pre-RC4 build. It doesn't have everything I will be including in RC4 but it's a taste.

Pre-RC4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Hideous app for battery. On my old rom of choice I used to get 2days per charge. (calibrated battery) installed that app. sent only around 6 messages via it in the day and my battery was down to 15% by 6pm so from 2days (around 35-40hours) down to just under 1 day (19-20hours). Uninstalled the app and went back to my two days.

Your mileage may vary but Im guessing you are used to using it anyway....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
STUPID

NEVER CALIBRATED MY BATTERY...

i just wiped partitions an caches and the phone work without any problems...I think the wipe of the battery stats does work against a normal function of it...:mad:...

My settings:

240 min and 691 max

use the data when i need it

don't use facebook and stuff like that (would be nice to have a lite rom...)

installed 3.0 from scratch, like you from ele's ROM

use automatic brightness

and i get over 2 days without any problems:D

The rom doesn't have anything....it's your phones battery...:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
thanks for quick replies :) downloading RC4 Alpha right now (okay, i have to admit i LOVE flashing the newest stuff^^) and will calibrate again. sharing the results asap! :)

ps: great rom! keep on working ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
mhh i never got over 2 days with sense 2.3.3 :/ while on AOSP roms it seems good... any way to check battery health? cause phone is just 1,5 years old, would be strange to already have a defective battery?

greets, SoD

PS: Some Battery Indicator stats: Fully Charged since 01:12 | Good Health | 36,5°C | 4,179V. Battery seems okay.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
this rom simply doesn't get as good battery life as some other roms. I think we'll probably just have to live with that.

I've ALWAYS had to charge overn ight every night and often at work too since my phone is my portable computer and I use it all the time.

anyway - you think 3.5 is good, rc4 alpha is incredible so far.

I haven't had the sense launcher restart yet!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
running rc4 alpha and it kicks butt like I said.

just flashed the LV experimental kernel built today from the new base and it also kicks butt. not noticeably better but doesn't feel worse for sure. camera's awesome so far with the new kernel though which is cool.

game responsiveness is still great. I'm very very happy right now! ext works too!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Titanium backup doesnt work ¬_¬

Christ almighty this rom is trying to fight me at every stage...

First RC2.5 wouldnt flash at all.

now 3.0 will flash and the 3.5 in the Original post is duff

Now 3.5 is fine but im not allowed any of my apps back...

I go to batch>Restore missing apps + data and wait and it just stays on 0% of the first app in the list...

If I try to manually restore just one app it just tries to restore it for ages without actually doing anything.... anyone have any ideas?

EDIT-

Solllved. I disabled Usb debugging. Rememebered I had this problem before and seems to be working now! :)

Feels really snappy so far!!

What is safe to remove from System/App by the way?

(Ive not used a sense rom since 1.5!!) Ive got tweetdeck for twitter and FB so not bothered about those but not sure if its safe to ditch them or not...

If someone can post a list for stuff that its safe to strip out if you dont use it I'll love you forever :)

Forgot to mention my boot time is now a much more acceptable 5minutes since the first flash :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
That was an harsh reaction to an easily fixable problem, huh?

Remove the apk's included in the lite packages you don't need. The lite packages are in the first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Yeah, sorry, I meant it as a tongue in cheek thing but realise it may come across differently. :p

Ok cool thanks, will check those out properly tomorrow but for now Im off to bed! :eek:

Thanks for the help guys. Ill no doubt be back tomorrow asking further sense3.0 newbie questions again... :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pmarmotte:
I cannot install 3.5 neither because I am also using AmonRa and the 3.5 update is not signed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
And I repeat, use my zip in post #1186...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Going to add your zip to OP, still haven't found time to sign it.

What does everyone think about me changing the base kernel to riemers latest release? BT headset hasn't been implemented yet but the system is smoother and faster and the camera is much more stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hiato:
Hello, 1st, thanks for the great job you're doing for our Hero.

i got a strange problem, my Hero can't find my WiFi network!

the thing is im using a wireless network adapter to transmit the network from my PC, just like an Access Point.

i use Elelinux rom and it sees it and got no problem.

is there a fix you can do or is it hard?

tnx again...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Maybe there is a application that need to communicate with gps and things like that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
I think then anyone who likes to listen music won't be friends with you anymore :). It's headset in general that does not work, not just BT.

I checked your latest alpha RC4 and I think I found all your Easter eggs as well as bugs :p.

You may consider re-editing build.prop. There are few double lines and typos. For example ro.opengles.version = 65537 should be 165537 which is correct version for OpenGL 1.1; ro.media.enc.vid max video resolution for Hero is 352x288; dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags m=y flag actually does not exist. At least I did not find anything about it on the net. You can either delete that line, then system will use most appropriate default setting or set it to v=a,o=v which is considered the best optimal/safe setting.

In etc folder you may edit media_profiles.xml for correct Hero video encoding resolution. Also I pulled AudioParams from stock sense ROM, I think its better + added few missing files.

I included my tweaks in zip files, you can check for differences if you like.

P.S. and why there is desktop.ini in system folder and in META INF :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Running RC4 now.

Some improvement can be seen when using browser for web surfing.

Browser windows won't refresh as often as before (which is a good thing).

Google Navigation app could launch but would close when it's calculating routing.

Still no Text to Speech.

Still, many thanks to JieeHD, as well as contributors such as whitealien, habarug, RCOO and many more. This GB Sense thread really ROCKs! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] przemo_pl:
I have this problem using RC3.5:

when I receive an SMS message nothing happens (no sound, no notification on status bar). I've double checked all necessary settings and everything looks fine... Haven't installed any other messaging apps so that is not a problem...

Anyone had the same? Any solutions? I don't want to leave this ROM because it's sooo fast!

By the way GB Sense ROCKS! :D Thanks JieeHD!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
I your tweak zip a signed flashable zip? or is it only for reference for the Dev?

Just wondering as I got a bootloop last night so tried v4alpha and seemed much more stable during the set up phase so Im using this now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Running RC4 with custom lv kernel, got the current problems:

- battery is running quite quickly. Not sure whether we should blame the ROM or the kernel

- Sense launcher is terribly slow, after some problems I switched to launcherpro and everything is running quite smooth now when everything is overclocked.

- I can't seem to change the shortcuts on the lockscreen, guess I overlooked an option?

- Please add a loading bar at the booting screen or something :D I thought I almost fried it, as it took me too long to get it booted
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
battery drain i guess u can remove weather application completely n try it seemed to help....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I think the battery issue is a combination of both, I'm going to have a look at the wakelocks as android system is using up a massive percentage. I don't find the sense launcher slow, I use stock kernel settings. But hopefully the beta I release today will improve on that. For the lockscreen shortcuts riemer, go to settings > personalize and then lockscreen. I don't know of a bootscreen that tells you when the ROM has finished loading LOL, but I'll find out if there's something I can do to shorten it or at least let you know it's not b0rked :p.
