Since pico tts is the default text to speech engine I expect the Text to speech problem related to the pico tts problem that was causing copilot to crash.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Just to clarify: We have data plans, they exist, but they are offered in about 5% of the cell phones. The other 95% is data plan free and you can't require one... So basically, here, you pay a lot more for a phone, since it is contract free, and you can't use network data without paying heavy €€, which is why SMS is popular and lasting for many years.

For example, here, in Portugal, an iPhone 4, contract free, no data plan (which is what most people get) costs about 855$... After paying this much for a phone, with no other option (since no data plans are offered), obviously people will use SMS's mostly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I was still having SMS problems with this latest release
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
I was? You aren't now?

The same problem reported before? No notifications?

Please elaborate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
The phone doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in on this Rom.

Also does anyone have a link to the last version. I would like to roll back but I don't have that one anymore.

NM found it on his server.

Weather app for closes when I open it. Even messing with the widget force closes Weather app.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
At first, i was receiving notifications for messages, then i wasn't receiving notifications, but i saw them when i opened the messaging app, and then some messages i didnt receive at all
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes it does. I used it that was last night when talking while driving (my bluetooths all are crappy so I'm using wired phones iwth inline mic instead). have you flashed LV4.7 again after flashing RC2.5 like we all did?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
please read, or at least search, this thread. you'll see that's a well known problem and is likely out of the control of the developer. just don't use it. I use the included "news and weather" widget instead which is quite excellent for both news and weather.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Asking doesn't hurt. And answering shouldn't aswell... So, next time, just don't answer. I'm sure someone else would have, and in a more polite way. I didn't ask for a fix, just if anyone was experiencing it, since I used the app perfectly in RC 2.0, and only experienced this issue on this build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I had problems with the weather app. But its fine if you turn the sounds effects off in the options. Try that if you can. Might work for you too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Thanks for the solution.

I usually don't use the Weather app itself, only the widget... Was just reporting the bug ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] caiyc9064:
I love this rom so so so much!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I agree! Asking should not hurt. More mature members on this forum who have the experience of knowing what and where to look for things, could be a lot more supportive of those who lack such experience.Developers keep asking us to let them know about any problems that we are experiencing with their roms.Perhaps a little less sarcasm and a little more help would be the right way to handle this. Just my few cents worth.

I cant turn the WiFi on, it says error!

why?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
same here, there are some problems with 2.5 version, wi-fi error, phone.apk keeps fc and some other apps too

Just flash LV 0.4.7, kernel modules aren't working correctly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AdmcPL:
JieeHD, are you working on ext app2sd support? It's last thing I need to use this rom. Some people don't want it so you can just made it as "option".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
+1 reaaly need it !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I'll add it in, in the final build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
For those who are keen to know, I had installed this flash 10.1 but it's not working for me. When surfing those site with flash, it failed to work and eventually caused my browser to close. I had since unistalled it.

Thanks anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayotiic:
Great Job but... Camera (Y)

Hey ive been following since the begenning at great Job thans so Much , for this Rom you have brought the life back to our Hero's.

On your latest Build 2.5

I flashed.. Ok:)

Everything was good even Wifi .

However i did notice that When i went to take a Picture , it would freeze after , & not save the image. So i flashed the Camera app from the lite version, and all seems well again.

Just Letting you know incase any one else have that problem :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
I had that problem... The camera would work right after I installed the rom, but it wouldn't work after I install some apps...

The solution was flashing LV kernel again. The camera worked after. The thing is it only works at 3Mp. Does your work at 5Mp? If it does I'll give your solution a shot =P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayotiic:
Yeahhh 5mp Work's Just fine aswell.

Although After wiping Delivk Cache..

& Flashing,- Mine took a while to boot < Just some extra info :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
For some reason I have to defend the correct practice here... maybe because I didn't word it very sweetly. When someone spends hours pouring over a thread as some of us do, looking for answers to our questions, and then someone comes along and asks a question that we know has been discussed already, it is frustrating. Historically, the "more mature members" of this forum have been posting the 'use the search engine' response when someone asks an already discussed question for as long as this and other forums have been around.

There is nothing wrong with telling someone to use the search tool if it appears they didn't and if it seems likely that they would have found their answer if they had. I could be wrong of course, nothing wrong with that. But the existence of the post I made is commonplace and shouldn't surprise anyone here unless you're also a new member who doesn't know the standard forum etiquette used throughout the web.

Sorry that it offended people to point out a fact (a user asked a question that had already been discussed in a few posts in this same thread) and to recommend the use of the search tool next time (also the correct thing to do, at least it always was).

Go ahead and defend the person for posting duplicate questions to the developer instead of searching first.

so I'm sorry if I didn't say it very nicely, but I'm not apologizing for writing the topic of the post in the first place. It wasn't meant to hurt feelings, it was meant as a wake up call to educate a user about how we're all supposed to use these forums.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyhow, this rom is still working outstandingly well here for me. Aside from how much more of a challenge it is to snooze or turn off the alarm in the morning with this lockscreen, I quite like the customizable features of this lockscreen and the general sexiness of it so will probably stay with it even if the drag-down lockscreen is available. Although if the drag-down was available with the possibility of flashing back to the sensation lockscreen without messing anything else up then I might be into trying the drag down lockscreen too - just for the use of the alarm in the mornings :-)

I've been finding the camera to work really well for me so far in this build. but I have noticed some randomness to it crashing in previous builds so it could just be dumb luck here on my part right now, but it's a nice experience either way :-)

cheers - just love this rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I think it's been mentioned a lot in other threads... not sure about this one.... but there is a fact that flash 10.X can't run on the hero. it is compiled to run on a newer and more powerful cpu than the one in the hero, and therefore it is impossible for it to run on the hero.

Sad, but true. the only way to get flash to work on the hero is with flash lite, which was in the 2.1 based sense roms (And older 1.5 based sense roms).

hmmm.... I'm SURE I remember writing all about how this works earlier in this thread.... oh well. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruikaka16:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
While trying to explore more on this issue, I had also flashed another Sense 2.3.3, the WildHero ROM by Erasmux. This one (also originally from Sebastian FM's earlier work) similarly has the text to speech not working as well. However, the Weather Widget on WildHero works fine and does not force close :confused:

i flashed the rom now after factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik-cache wipe, but i dont get anything but reboot into RECOVERY !!

im using LV 0.4.7 btw
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wolvers69:
I seem to have really bad performance with this ROM, its so slow. Any ideas where I might be going wrong? Also, where can I find more info on LV 0.4.7?

Many thanks to the author, and contributors, for all the work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
More info on LV (las venturas) can be found in this official link :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765701

The problems u r experiencing mite b bcoz u didnt flash Lv 0.4.7 after u flashed the ROM. though this rom is rather slow by nature compared to other roms. But its stable and beautiful. Hope that helps. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoworld_200:
Devs over at the x8 forums has been able to mod the apk to be able to work with ARM v6 and v7 devices. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1147092) As of now, the browser on Hero just FCs when loading flash content, however, the x8 users claim that its functional. I believe its the same .apk that JieeHD uploaded.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Since this rom doesn't have CM settings is there a way to get battery percent on the status bar?

Also, this has been asked several times in this thread but never answered. Is there an easy way to reboot into recovery or do you always have to shut the phone down and then do the home/back thing? Can we get reboot to recovery as part of the shut down menu?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I'll make one today and in the final release there will be an extended power menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
For battery %, I installed Battery Indicator from the market.

For reboot into recovery, can take a look over at WildHero by Erasmux. May be he has an optional flash zip available which you can try (do a nandroid backup first as precaution).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I just wanted to thank all who are involved in this rom. I have tried many roms and have been happy with some, not so much with others. I tried this rom about a week ago and it was slowwwww for me so I went back to what I was using. After seeing updates and positive feeback I tried it again. The secret is to flash LV 4.7 after flashing the rom and then to LET IT SETTLE. After giving the rom a chance to settle in I find it plenty fast enough and it is now my daily. I love it so far. Just awaiting to see what kind of battery life I get cuz that will be the clincher for me. Keep up the great work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
it also takes a long time to speed up after first flashing it. it can take several hours of use followed by a reboot and another few minutes of waiting before it starts running at full speed. the same is true of some other roms, but this one really speeds up after that time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fahad123:
is this rom multitasking for u? i just switched back to froyo because this rom wasn't multitasking for me even on the LV 0.4.7 kernel.. i would really love to use this rom if it does multitask!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wolvers69:
I think the issues that exist with wifi and the fact that I am now running Elelinux 2.9, which is fault free so far for me and fast straight away, means that I am unlikely to switch back at the moment. I will still keep an eye on development as I may have a go again in the future.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] caiyc9064:
my rom is 2.1, can I flash the lockscreen?

Thank you for your efforts~great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok. there are no issues with wifi (just flash the kernel after you flash the rom), and this rom isn't the only one that takes a long time to get up to speed.

So development isn't likely to improve upon what is already working fine.

putting symlinks into the build so one doesn't have to flash the rom then the kernel isn't a real problem.

but if ele's 2.9 rom is working great then that's good to hear - ele's a great guy.

cheers

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] El_Nino9:
there is an issue with wifi :) thats why you have to re-apply the kernel to fix it right? but hats of this rom is great. wouldn't have thought the old hero would get a gingerbread sense rom after 2.2 struggling.. well done devs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
re-flash kernel.....no issue with wifi. Your statement above is kind of splitting hairs.

There may still be an issue with sms messages tho. I'm not sure if I'm not getting notifications because its not working or because nobody is sending me texts. I'm out of town right now. I do know that I haven't been getting email notifications.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
If you open the messages app, and you have messages, they will be there.

The thing that doesn't work is notifications. The messages still get delivered I guess.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
since it sometimes takes a long time get the screen to respond and finish drawing widgets at the unlock stage, the default 45 second screen timeout in display prefs is simply too short. can the default be changed to 2 minutes or so in the next release?

Either way I recommend users extend that past 45 seconds for now anyway to avoid the occasional "I can't unlock my phone and keep the screen on long enough to be useful" situation that I just encountered.

:-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
download links are down for me, really want to try this :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Download links fixed now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Don't worry, if it hasn't been asked already feel free :D. The reason is that in the first release in order to get the ROM to fit into the Hero's small system partition I had to remove some apps and push some to /data/app instead. Unfortunately this quick fix didn't work too well and when you tried to download the missing apps from market the fc'ed. So today when I was preparing the update, instead of writing a long updater-script, I wrote a shorter one which would replace the system/app folder with one which erasmux created with some complicated scripts which compressed the size of the ROM better, same with the system/lib folder - I didn't have the time to write a script which would replace the files that needed replacing so I just replaced the whole lot. Sorry if this caused you any problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
to make this usable I have setcpu configured for performance 691MHz. no screen off profile so it will be like that when screen is off too.

need to be able to unlock this thing or it's useless LoL

it has helped dramatically.

I expect battery life to be meh this way, but this is a luxury rom and I want to at least give it the go it's worth. like driving a hummer - it's not the most fuel efficient thing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
What do you mean by that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
the link for the 1.1 update still isnt working on this end :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
monopoly here and now works perfectly on this. possibly very subtly less crappy framerate than typical of the hero even (the game only barely runs on the hero but it fun all the same).

dunno if it worked on older version of this rom though, never tried it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I mean, considering my previous comment where it was taking too long to unlock it in the 45 second screen timeout, not only does increasing screen timeout help but also speeding up the performance in setcpu like this wihtout it slowing with screen off also makes it unlock much faster.

in fact this is quite a useful rom with performance 691 on all the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Okay, PM me with the issues you're having and I'll sort something out for you ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
I find the ROM to be very responsive with LV 0.4.6 : 176 - 729.6 (smartass), but that's my personal opinion.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, big issue suddenly :-)

how come I can't make calls? in the dialer when I tap on one of my contacts (which normally should start a call) or when I type in a phone number and tap "call", nothing happens.

that's kind of a big issue :-)

EDIT: and when I try calling my cal from another phone, after a couple rings I get an alert telling me that process phone FCd.

hmmmmm
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
damn, my hero can't go over 672 :S it is not stable at all even on 691
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Not sure, logcat? I haven't had this issue at all, infact I made a call not 10 minutes ago.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
huh, will do a logcat asap.

in the meantime, farm frenzy (a nice game) is also working perfectly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] musikenigma:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:

temporarily returning to my 2.1 elelinux sense rom until this is solved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cet90:
Hi all,

Wanna ask is camera working perfectly?? and does it have instant shot feature?? LOL... juz asking... thx in advance!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
there is no issue with wifi. there is an issue with how you must flash this rom for it to work as the developer intended. the rom itself has no problem with wifi if you follow the instructions of flashing it correctly.

therefore there is no problem with wifi unless you don't follow the current instructions.

that is a fact, no hair splitting allowed mr marley ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
When i was using the rom, after a while i just didn't receive messages that were sent to me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Weird... I get all my messages. Maybe a lot of apps running?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
Hi all!

I've been struggling with the wifi... flashed the kernel using different recoveries, flashed the rom twice but still not working... it keeps on scanning... any clues about this?

Hey RCOO, can you help a fellow countryman? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Wipe cache and dalvik. Wipe system data.

Flash SalsaSense RC2.5, and then LV 0.4.7.

That's the order you should follow.

Does Wi-Fi turn on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
hm... didnt wipe data... i thought it was just about the cache and dalvik. flashing it now. fingers crossed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
still not working... it keeps scanning but doesnt find the network... any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
If the Wi-Fi turns on then it's not the problem everyone was having... That means I have no idea what the problem is.

Maybe the router? =S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
I guess it detects the network since at the "choose provider" screen at startup, it shows up the internet provider and mobile provider. but after that its impossible to connect to wifi... it keeps on scanning... i know the router is working normally because i was using a previous rom which worked fine and i have other equipments that are connected at the momment...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Try getting to the Wi-Fi definitions after the setup wizard? Tried that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
yes, of course but no luck... like i said to you, it keeps scanning and it doesnt find anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Have you tried re-flashing the kernel again, after rom is installed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
over and over... wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then flash kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinaipt99:
what am i missing? :(:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RCOO:
Did you try an older version of the kernel? like 0.4.6? maybe an older version of the rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flashinglights:
Quick question: I have a hero cdma and I flashed the regular lockscreen as well as the skins from the op. Although they work I've noticed that there are some issues. First off some of the notification icons show the sense gradient while using the slate skin here's a screenshot:

Second is that when using a pattern to unlock that whole screen seems to be moved up a bit:

as you can see the date is overlapping the notification bar. And third is that the sense skin lockscreen arc's hint background overlapps the arc:

My question is, is this happening on your phones as well? Or might this be happening because of phone differences? Also any ideas on how this can be fixed?
