i do twice but still same problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Re-download the file, the one you have is corrupt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] musikenigma:
The second time I flashed the re-download file already but the same problem :(

Help....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
so far so sexy

still just getting to the point of installing titanium backup so I can restore my data/apps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] musikenigma:
Problem is fixed. Tks

My computer has virus :( :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Glad you like it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
frequent reboots while restoring apps in titanium backup (yes, just the apps, no system data here... been doing this a long time ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
why is the update such a large file? 80 mb's? just curious :D

And yes, great work !

flash player compatibility

Hey guys,

I installed this ROM and was really impressed, it's as fast/stable as the 2.1 official one. Good job.

Btw I know it's not the 1st priority but I want to try flash player on it :)

I tried many ver 10.3, 10.1 but no luck, I know that Htc salsa ROM is compatible with FP 10.1, so please post the original apk.

U r the best, cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
The rom may be compatible but the hardware of the hero isn't, armv6 won't ever get to use full flash player, we can use flash player lite instead though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Dont know about FC's but here is alogcat for when I try to run CoPilot. It doesnt FC it just stops responding. Pressing home works though so the phone is still functional even after it freezes. Hope it shows something useful as I'd love it if I can have copilot working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Seems to stop responding when connecting to the server. So I have to ask whether you are using a legal version?, if you are, are you on the latest version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
I use Navitel. I also have crashes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
yup as legal as it can be downloading from the market! First I restored it with titanium but that didnt work so i uninstalled and re-installed from market but still the same problem. since I downloaded from the market it must be latest version right???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
just pretend you're using a non android phone ;-)

I suspect GB simply uses too much memory for our heros to multitask larger memory resident apps such as two browser sessions. GB wasn't intended for the hero, and sense also eats a fair bit of memory
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
flash can only run on the hero in the form of flash lite. flash 10.X requires a newer CPU with certain instructions that the hero doesn't support.

Flash lite was integrated into android 2.1, 1.6, 1.5 sense roms, maybe earlier ones also.

So to get flash on the hero you NEED to use an android 2.1 sense or earlier sense rom.

I seriously doubt that flash lite from android 2.1 sense runs on a GB sense rom, although it's possible I'm wrong. Why I think I'm right though is because flash lite, just to run at all, has always REQUIRED a matchin sense rom to run. it never works on non-sense roms for example, even though the hardware is the same. So sense lite MUST hook into some rendering libraries that also were developed by HTC and used only in sense roms. Since android 2.2 sense roms and later (including this 2.3 android sense roms) were built for phones with cpus that could actually run the native flash 10.X app, it seems very highly unlikely that these later sense roms include the extra weight of this possibly flash-lite specific rendering libraries.

So.... you're probably SOL for sense on this rom or any rom after android 2.1 sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] atomheart:
worst ROM i' ve ever tried
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
Thanks for the useful feedback :cool:.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
Worst comment I've ever read
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
hmmm dont want to sound arrogant, but i doubt that a junior member with 0 thanks, 17 posts and giving such founded and impressive feedback could really see if a rom is "good" or "bad".

for the case i am wrong, would you mind to share any useful information or reason for your bad rating?

i can not see the point of rating a nearly fully functional 2.3.3 sense rom with sense 3.0 features and working wifi, camera and bluetooth, beatuy and stability in a extremly short period of time since the release of SFM 1.0 (which was never there since 2.1 back then) that bad.

greets, S.O.D.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
Do not pay attention to it.

a guy is over a beer. )))))

your phone must have Siemens A35.

ps. in the case. JieeHD is working on a patch?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haha this is fun! Let's see.... most moronic imbecile I've never met!

:)

Now what can we talk about?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
stopped coming sms:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Macrodroid:
Just to add a little in regards to navigation; I don't believe the force closes are rom specific, as this is also apparent on the Eris on a variety of GB platforms (aosp, cm and sense). Perhaps someone running a froyo rom could chime in about whether or not it's happening on other platforms? That would atleast narrow it down to gb platform or app error...

We've tried finding work arounds on the Eris forums, but no results as of yet...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I'll try and fix that today.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beerfly:
Guys - after reading a lot of comments I wonder just one think - is there sense UI restarts oftenly. I used this rom since it was 1st version and it happened to me so many and so often that I changed it only because of this - soooo , how it is now . ::D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
I did a clean wipe between RC1 and RC2. RC2 is rather stable (enough for everyday use) and not really that much of sense restarts. Its a hell lot better than the initial builds. Give it a try.. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
Hi JieeHD

Everything working good... you already aware of sms problems and i m having trouble with my email and gmail as well ... as i setup push mail setting for my all emails and gmail as well but i have to manually refresh to see if there is any email.. never mind i know you already working on this issue

just a another big issue for me is a battery life

after charging in 3 hours 27 min battery discharged from 100% to 40%

when i checked the battery usage 81% was taken by andriod system, then 8% by Wifi, 7% by idle phone etc ...

let me tell you that i already tweaked few settings as following

1 As is don't use Data , i use mainly wifi so .. in this tweak i dialed *#*#4636#*#* then in phone infomation i chose only GSM Only (set prefferd Network Type)

2 display britness set to auto

3 wifi off after 15 min

still i m not getting enough battery but in RC1 it was brilliant

please advise if you can do something about it

Thannx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
Dude, as for the battery, did u calibrate ur battery from the recovery coz i can nearly squeeze out more than a day of moderate usage on RC2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
Calibrate ??/

what i did i wiped all the 5 points in wipe section in recovery

in them i think 4th one is wipe battery info ( something like that)

so what can be done to get it improved

Thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
1. Enter recovery

2. do "Battery stats wipe"

3. reboot

Calibrate the battery by completely draining it until the phone completely shuts itself off.

Turn the phone on again and let it shut itself off one more time.

Then charge your phone while it is off for over 8 hours.

This will fully charge the battery so that when the phone is turned on, it now sees the battery as full.

It is recommended to repeat this process at least one more time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
Sure i will try that by tonight thanx for your help and will let you know the outcome

Thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
I agree that RC2 is not a successful build. Battery drain is insane. With barely using phone battery lasts 1 day. Its very laggy, system uses over 80% of battery. I don't know what process eats up all resources, but it looks like some process do endless loops with possible memory leak.

For the record I'm using LV-0.4.7 kernel @710/352 OnDemand.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
hmmm not quite sure thats correct to be honest. I've been using this ROM since it was published and I have found battery life to be alright. Its not great but its not that bad either, I can get about 1.5 days from normal use. I do find that its laggy sometimes but its not THAT bad. Not sure about it eating resources either. How do you know things get in endless loops??

maybe you shouldnt overclock it so much. I use 576/352 Ondemand and its fine for me. Perhaps 'over' overclocking is causing instability for you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
Battery life is OK, maybe a little bit worse than RC1 but still fine.. I can get a full day with my normal usage so it is fine for me

one thing I noticed is that the auto-brightness level is too high isn't it? I am not sure if it works, it seems to lower after leaving the phone idle for some seconds but in contrast to the environment light it is higher than normal.. maybe the light sensor doesn't work well

maybe that is a reason why some people do not get good battery life.. screen is major battery hog.. I have set it to around 30% manually and it is better...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
I did not say anything about stability. ROM is very stable at my speeds. What I said is that its very laggy and unresponsive. Sometimes I need to wait 5 secs or more before app launches or it respond to my gestures.

How do you know if process is looping? Well, I don't, its just a conclusion when you see that system uses 80% of resources.

I can compare this with build RC1 and WildHero ROM running same kernel @ same setup. Used resources stay in range 40-60% and battery lasts easily 2 days with moderate use.

edit: maybe problem is that I wiped only cache and dalvik when flashed over RC1. Too lazy to do full wipe and reinstall all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's good info, thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea... it does sense restarts about as often as the 2.1 sense rom I was using previously. it's also almost as fast as that previous rom.

this is an incredible rom..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
agree with who? everyone else thinks it's successful and battery life is exceptional for me.

again - have you calibrated your battery correctly as per the instructions above?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
and I have the same issues in half of the hero roms available. it's a hero issue - slow filesystem access (very slow), memory is limited, cpu is limited. apps are bigger than they used to be, even googel apps because they know newer hardware can handle it ok. android runs slower than it used to because newer phones can handle it just fine.

the build is I think just fine.

however it may simply just not run fast enough for your needs - it doesn't multitask all that well.

I haev to say though that most roms eventually end up making me wait up to 10 seconds for gmail to render the email list... it's not unique to this rom at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
It's just like dkelley says, considering the hardware on Hero so we should be grateful, even this kind of rom works on Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
agree with ele that we schould be happy this even works on hero, but battery drain indeed is worse than RC1 ... 53% battery drain only by android system next , never had that since flashing a defect LV kernel on elelinux :D i'm sure you will fix that jieeHD :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Macrodroid:
There are a lot of things in sense that will cause excessive battery drains. As an example, has anyone checked sync settings? Those are system processes and sense, by default syncs based on app push from the network, which can occur often. I have this ported for my Eris, and considering the fact that it is sense, battery life is comparable to eclair and froyo!

Each rom works different because each user uses it differently. Limiting your network syncs will improve your battery life considerably! Cm and aosp rom's do not configure the same as sense does...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
I have yet to comment on the battery on this new rom.

At the moment with 19% left, I've got about 7h in light usage and 3h on normal usage.

It has been unplugged from power for 39 hours.

I've done about 3-4 reboots (see next post for the why =P) which, as we know, drains considerable amount of battery.

So far Android System has consumed 68% of the battery. Wi-fi, I had it on like once, for about 15 minutes, just to update some stuff on the phone. Consumed 4%. Phone in waiting: 14%. Inactive phone: 14%. Screen: 2% (this sounds awfully low, I would assume the resources got confused - There is no way the screen drained only 2% of the battery). Bluetooth: 1%.

Normally I could get a little more then 48 hours with the version 1.3.

Sometimes I could get 1 day and half but would have to charge it, because the "half" would get somewhat drained during the night and it wouldn't last until I got home.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Ok guys. I've made a few modifications on the rom, that you can flash.

1 - Change the lockscreen to be the Wildfire one (HERE)

It's the drag the bar down lockscreen. Also really cool when answering calls.

->> Restore the original Salsa Lockscreen (HERE)

2 - Remove the status bar "Recent apps" area. (HERE)

I really recommend this one. It improves the speed of the status bar coming down a lot. Plus you can still access the recent apps by pressing the Home key.

3 - Non "bubbly" chat interface (HERE)

I hated the bubbles chat that the rom offered us, so I replaced it by the one in Wildfire. Really nice.

->> Restore the "bubbly" chat interface (HERE)

All the apps were signed.

I do believe they are working. Yet, if they don't, please don't be mad, I'll be here to help.

Instructions - pretty simple - reboot into recovery and flash zip - no need to wipe anything. And you are ready to go.

If Jiee wants he can add this to the main post, so it doesn't get lost in the midst of the posts.

Thanks do JieeHD and ybinnenweg.

Also thanks to erasmux, since I used all the resources from his rom WildHero 1.2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Hi RCOO, that's very nice of you.

I had personally managed to replace myself the default bubble style mms.apk from the wildfire ROM.

Since I'm not into FB, I would also like to replace the SenseFlipClock to the standard type (with the weather) instead of the Salsa SenseClock here that's using social network.

Wondering if you could also make an additional flashable 'SenseClock' zip?

TIA.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Thanks RCOO! they should be addedto the OP :-) Especially removing recent apps from notification bar is awesome :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
just re-add the clock widget, the weather one is an available option.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks. Will try figure out myself :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
I was looking for it :) thank's

Q: Where can we get sense 2.1 themes ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
that's what saw.

off gps. I think this is due to the nucleus. Put FlyKernel-11c and ceased to fly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Hi, can someone guide me on how to set Pico TTS as the default engine under Voice Input & Output Settings/Text to Speech settings?

Seems like I am unable to tick the check box on the setting for this ROM.

Without this, some of my GPS apps lost the voice cue/feedback.

TIA.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
The standard sense clock is already built in. Just add the clock widget and scroll across. its there somewhere
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Thanks for these. especially for removing the recent apps from status bar, i've been reading about this but hadnt actually achieved it yet.

Do you by any chance have a screenshot of the wildfire messaging interface?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks, found it! Long pressed screen, add HTC widgets. Total 42 HTC widgets :)

All option also available under personalized :rolleyes:

Using too much AOSP ROM, totally lost in Sense:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
this is the Wildfire one

This is SalsaSense original.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
ahh i see. so its like the old message layout. I agree that does look nicer than the bubble interface. thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I'm a fan of the bubbles actually. so is my wife. will keep those on my phone. but the recent apps thing is a good one for sure.

for the bubbles thing could the salsa bubbles version of the app have a restore zip also please? so we can try it and go back to bubbles if we like bubbles better?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
its a shame removing recent apps from the notification bar doesnt reduce its memory consumption but its smoother nonetheless
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Do you remember the lite packs made for the 1.3 lite version? If you use the Messages pack it will restore them ;) I'll add them to the post.

UPDATE: Added!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Yes... Still, I believe the status bar comes down a lot faster... Which was the reason that led me to try out removing the recent apps portion... It worked for the purpose... I don't think the memory consumption was reduced because the functionality of the recent apps is still there, just not showing.

I have no idea how to remove the functionality though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
did you follow the guide in the OP of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018818

or did you use the easy version later in the thread? or did you do it some other way?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
The version in the end of the thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Right. With my extremely limited knowledge of coding I would guess that that version just hides it but the OP version seems like it might actually remove the functionality. If I get the time tonight I'll give it a go and see if it reduces the memory consumption at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Updated and mirrored OP with RCOO's options, working on a fix tonight which might fix the OOM values. If anyone was looking for skins for this ROM look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048894

Not sure if they work, can't test atm so any feedback would be nice :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Those themes need resizing ;-) it's possible, but needs some work.

After you released that fixed version, I will make a new lite version with some improvements RCOO has found =) (lite = stripped down, with all packs apart)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
If possible please add apps2sd in next release...thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Well my modified script commands didn't work unfortunately, looks like I'll need to wait till RC3 to fix OOM values :(. Working on that this week, hopefully a release by the end of this week or the start of next week.RC3 will have LV 0.4.7 as a base aswell so no more flashing after flashing the ROM :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JoOoSs:
Today I see that automatic backlight isn't working, the light fix on first post is for this issue ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
The fix is for notification LED, the backlight sensor is not working on this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
it is for me?

autobacklight led notification.. except jogball
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I think it isn't working with the version with more languages...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
correct

its or allready included or not compactable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
stroobach... I like your posts, but this one "its or allready included or not compactable" is so confusing I had to give up trying to understand you. LoL

And so I reply with as much confidence as possible, "without compression the deviation horrifies the virtual conundrum.". I truly hope that helps with this matter! :)

so now as we come back to our regular state of confusion, I just wanted to say to JieeHD that I was shocked when I installed RC1 and it was really good but had a few distinctly broken things you were aware of, and I figured ok well that's that then. That's as good as we can expect from GB sense on the hero, and it's good enough I can use it for everyday stuff with some limitations.

Then a couple days later you post RC2 and it fixes... what... almost EVERYTHING!?!?

it was astounding. sure, I wish google nav actually ran longer than 10 minutes with this rom (I need a working gps so will try other software soon). I wish the camera was more stable. but come on - you even managed to post a fix for the led notifier??? how on earth do you do these things? it's a frickin sense rom man! you're not supposed to be able to fix things in it!?!?!?

I am plenty impressed and so happy to have you making roms like this one for us poor hero owners.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Is auto-brightness/auto-backlight working for any of you guys?

Doesn't seem to work for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I think it works for me. At least the hard key lights turn on when I cover the light sensor. Not sure if the backlight brightness changes though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
sorry man.. i was a bit tired :P

but i ment

SalsaSense RC2

Multiupload: SalsaSense RC2

Wuppers server: SalsaSense RC2 (Thanks Wupper!)

My Server: SalsaSense RC2

Extended Languages(Don't flash Lights Fix): Extended Languages

Lights Fix: Lights Fix

it says dont flash lights fix on extended languages..

so it can be another builld (so the fix isnt compactable with that rom

or its allready included in the Extended Languages so you dont need to flash it :P

hope im more clear now although its 6 am now :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:
really looking forward to RC3.

Logket help? whether you need more logkat for some problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
The lights fix for LED's does not need to be flashed on the extended languages version as its already included.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] majesensei:
Wow I didn't know how much I missed Sense until I installed this ROM this morning. I'm in LOVE with my hero again! Thanks for the nice work, everything is perfect so far with this rom, can't say anything else cuz I have to get back playing with my phone :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mifares:

no notification :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alz08:
i am having some issues with this rom!!!

to start off with i have to hand it to you, the ROM is excellent!! but i am having some issues.

firstly, my Bluetooth is not working!!! when i press on the Bluetooth icon to turn on it says it is turning on but it does not turn on

secondly, when ever i install a new application it reboots it self which is kind of annoying!!!!

so is there any way you can solve these issues or do i have to wait for another ROM update :confused:

thank you:D
