Excellent ROM so far. However, I can't get the themes to work. I wiped cache & dalvik and flashed the Meizu Sense Theme but nothing.....

also, the keyboard is stock whereas i saw a screenshot of HTC skinned. i never got that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxinek:
Can someone please upload the rom again? I couldn't find the link anywhere :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikekoke:
In this rom, android in which version is it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kemoba:
Eclair = 2.1

Has anyone managed to get Co-Pilot to work with this rom. I have been using villainrom for about 2 years now! I have to say I think I have been missing out by not testing this rom. I am also having a problem with the calendar, it wont let me input any meetings.

As alaways, any feedback is appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ilnanny:
Awesome rom thank You so much,... a little bug for receiving file with bluethoot.

Inviato dal mio Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Haha, nice to see that someone has continued my work. Congrats!

I've moved away to Windows Phone to be honest, unforgivable betrayal, I know... but it was the only way I could stop being tempted to continue developing ROMs, it's like a drug to be honest and it takes too much time :)) I am somewhat amazed to see that there still are HTC Hero users out there, are they holding on well? :))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kemoba:
One more dev goes to waste, too much of us are going to non android devices... I've got a friend, awsome dev but moved on to symbian....... Hero is so far doing great, although 4.1-4.2 is probably the last version of android for it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Android is great for standard users, but for someone who knows his way around and is able to do some tweaking, it inevitably consumes time. I chose WP for stability, although the lack of applications available is pretty annoying.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kemoba:
I agree, I personally dont have a day without adb or fastboot being used :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh, sorry! foreign grammar is beyond my skills :-)

thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
this is my new favorite best rom ever! at least for speed!

it feels even faster than ve4 felt, prob due to laucnherpro (I was using qq launcher).

amazing! 140 sense is sexy too!

GREAT WORK!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
yeah its plugged in so that could be the problem x3

and yeah not that good in place names and distance :P

and forgot it was (why dont they lern you that word in englis on school)

200/1.6 instead of 200x1.6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
sense version notification bar when dragged down is way too dark to be readable for my old eyes. black on dark grey isn't too great. I hope that part of the theme can be modified to be black on white instead. but I can get by for now.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Using the Sense theme 140dpi version. Wow is it ever fast!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well yea that part somehow did not want to work with me. I am trying something now. so get it nice and white on dark grey and stuff. But not havin luck so far. In short Reboots XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
there is somewhere a themer on the hero forum that has a nice notification bar

and cant you flash one from GB?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh, dont' forget, on this rom apps2sd is off by default (ext style of course, this is 2.1). but in application -devleopment menu is a toggle to turn it on. easy as that! nice work by radug to do that way back when.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Ok well I edited my framework-res.apk

Now booting hoping it worked. Who needs a kitchen XD

EDIT: ok this is weird XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
htc ime T9 is acting wierd..

it shows up any language but not dutch? while i checked in language and keyboard and checked dutch on..?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
rdejager, can you please add a flashable update for the extended reboot menu? Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
i dont :P

i just take a rom from another device flash it.. flash kernel and boot xD

somethimes it works :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
For me it works fine. I set the base language to dutch and not English.

I will try my luck but I do not promise anything.

About the colors. somehow only the system stuff is white now. the rest isnt XD That is still black. Ok try 2 :P

Booting try 2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
I've uploaded the roms to my server in case you can't acces multiupload :). Over here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Still no luck with the colors... I got it changed in the framework-res but still it is black. Well all but the USB ones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
thats to bad..

im going to try something 2 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
crazy stuff! something is over riding that information. like in web ui development it's nuts when you're changing the code but it's still showing an image over top with opacity reduced that is actually responsible for what you're seeing. it plays with your mind. I wouldn't be surprised if it's something strange like that going on. something in this rom that is rendered completely differently than this theme code works with.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Try 3 on this stuff :P Hope I get it this time XD Stupid XML files XD

Try 4 XD

Try 5 A bold one this time XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
make it 5

i failed too xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Ok it is another XML file I think cuss what I did. Rip the one from Elelinux speedmachine and smash it in this one made the USB notification disapear but the rest stayed :P

EDIT: Ok I am gonna let the UOT Kitchen do it for me and then rip out the XML files. see if that will work. Cuss I like the way the notifications are now. But not the text color.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Nice stuff :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Thanks. But all I did was smash a lot off stuff together in 1 rom XD But it was fun :P

And 4 phones? I think 1 is a pain already. What about 4 in your pockets all the time XD And all the same ringtone would be fun. Darn wich one is going now...

Try 7 :P

Try 8 XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
htc sensation =D

looking like a retard now

im getting it next week :)

(NEVER going to give away or sell my hero btw) :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
damn, nice phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Hmm the UOT Kitchen did not manage to do it :P Now I am lost XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow, waze so totally does not run on this rom. :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
thats why im buying it :P

overclock it and its faster then my laptop

(intel atom N270 1.6 dual core)

its crap
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
I am doing all this stuff on a Dell Insperion 6000 Celeron 1.8 Ghz 1core. (yea they still live) I am lazy and do not want to set up my desktop for it :P

OK all system notifications that are part of android are correct now. But appications like Poweramp and market downloading is still black... This is so weird.

You know I can do easy and change the background to white and then it is done and looks like reall Sense :P but I don't like that XD so...

That stuff looks funny :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
i dont know anything about theming x3

but isnt somewhere a line that says 3rd party notifications?

once again.. dunno anything x3
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Yea same for me. I am just folowing guides all over the place but cant find anything about 3rd party notifications XD

Ok I got a crazy idea XD There is 1 app that can overrule is maybe. and that is spareparts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stroobach:
maybe someone else know how to change it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
here's a zip with two apks in it. VoiceSearch and VoiceDial.

VoiceSearch is necessary for google nav to accept voice search commands. later versions of voicesearch FC in this rom (I tried them).

VoiceDialer is just something you can install if you want. I like it, although vlingo offers similar features if you want to use it instead.

however only the voicesearch apk I attached here will integrate into google nav.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
waze is an incredible social free navigation app. too bad it doesn't run. but hopefully google nav runs - it does on VE4 - which means we have one of few roms here that still runs google nav properly. Good enough for most uses.

I can live without Waze telling me of impending traffic delays and rerouting me on the fly if I have to...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
hmm that is weird Voicesearch did work fine with me, The 1.4.6 one. The 2.sth is for 2.2 and up :P

Ok spareparts aint it...

Ok I am gonna change the Sense theme a little and upload a zip for the people who want that. And with some screenies ofc in the first post. Hope to do that in the next hour or so.

EDIT: Made the Zip it is on the first post and with it is 2 screens with the before and the after.

EDIT2: I am getting the hang of this stuff :P made 2 zips. 1 stock theme which you can use on the sense one to make it ugly white and the sense pull down thingy. Which is a full theme. to make the pulldown like in the screenie. and you can use it on the stock one to. Now I don't need 4 different roms actually XD but ahh wel :P looks more fun this way.

I will add some other options tomorrow to get some apps back.

And now its time for bed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kojitabe:
Wow! Nice!

Will try it soon,but i have questions.

What's the different between 140 and 160 dpi?

Which one is fastest and the best for games and multitouch?

Thanks for your hardwork
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
All the roms are the same. Except the theme and the DPI.

In short. The difference is that you can have more info on your screen with the 140 version cuss it is all alittle smaller then the 160 version.

Example. some menu's you need to scroll on the 160 version and because on the 140 version it is all smaller you do not need to scroll on that. I will make an easy update package to change between the 2. So you can decide yourself and you do not need a complete rom change.

About the gaming part. I do not know if this rom in general is good. I think Don is the one who knows that :P but I would say try it out :D

EDIT: Added DPI changing update zip thingies on the first post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DjoeN:
making backup from my Hero now, so i can try this rom out :)

Reading all posts, it looks like a fine fast rom and i only use my Hero to make and recieve calls / sms, nothing more :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sproit:
How do I get Google Talk on this rom? It's the only thing I miss. Removing it wasn't all that useful btw, the talk service (which you'd rather get rid off I guess) is still running.

I tried marketenabler but google talk won't show up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
+1. Please post an apk for Google Talk, to complete your fantastic new brew, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Will do, And the reason why I removed talk cuss that also runs standard from the start but somehow this roms needs the service XD so. And Talk is useless in Holland. Well for me. Cuss noone uses it but option incoming on the first page.

Now I am off for work and wont me online till tomorrow afternoon central Europe time. But when I a back I will read all stuffs and make changes if needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pcs333:
This looks interesting :)

Will try it out now.

Does 3D maps work on this one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
This rom is awesome, awesome speed, and I haven't even OCed yet! the only thing I miss is the notification power widget, and that is pretty necessary for me, so unless someone figures out how to add it, I might move back :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool! well I'll look for that one. I used 1.5 and it fc'd. I used 1.1 or something weird like that I had lying around, it broke. at least 1.0 does work for those who need it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
install the free market app called "Notification Toggle". it's icon has 2 blue arrows in a circle shape. it adds a configurable power widget to the notification menu. however in this rom (and most roms) tapping the widget in the notification bar will then show a popup overlay requiring you to tap the icon again before it takes effect, but it's WAY better than not having any controls in the notification bar.

I use it and am perfectly happy with it. Highly recommended.

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I've experienced some usb mount issues with kernel 0.6.2 in this rom so am just flashing fly 13 to see how it works (since it's a newer cousin to my favorite fly 11c - thanks erasmux for putting in the scheduler from 11c! :-))

my phone just locked up when trying to mount usb with 0.6.2. aside from that this rom running 0.6.2 was really fast in the UI and super smooth and responsive in LP. however it's great with any kernel it seems.

OP, thanks for forcing your way through solving the notification bar color scheme issues! I'm really blown away that you succeeded with this! flashed it also now, along with gtalk (which is a great feature for many googlers outside of your country it seems hahaha) and the gallery 2d replacer.

UPDATE: yes, fly13 works flawlessly with the usb mount and unmount, much more reliable than 0.6.2 lv (not complaining about lv, it's excellent otherwise). and fly is insanely fast with this rom also.

DAMN I love this rom. VE4.... erm, I mean VE6 FTW!!!

cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh, and just one more thing people.

the default kernel in this rom, by RaduG, exhibits the same poor behavior in some games and apps that fly12 release version suffers from - almost unusable touch responsiveness where part of the app/game appears to take over the cpu unfairly for several seconds at a time.

So I STRONGLY recommend flashing an alternative kernel, as the OP suggests, to ensure everything works smoothly and compatibility is as high as possible.

Fly13 is showing to having fantastic performance in all apps/games so far. I'm running smartassv2, setcpu latest version (2.24?) and 518/176 MHz (through setcpu ui, not by renaming fly13.... yet ;-))

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sproit:
Thanks! I have been using 2.3 roms for a long time and got used to their sluggishness. This 2.1 rom is blazingly fast compared to 2.3! I think 2.3 just needs to much memory, more than my prehistorical Hero has ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
this is way faster even than 2.2 roms!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Loving this ROM now :-) would love if someone could do a battery mod and power menu!

Oh and is nandroid backup of this ok or do we use Bart?

Thanks man for your work to update this :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Power menu??

And to all, Thanks for the kind words. just came in to check the comments :P

BTW on the battery mod. You can use the UOT Kitchen for that :D But if you want me to do it tomorrow afternoon (my time) What kind of battery mod? Circle? or something else?

EDIT: With version 6.1 Which will come sometime I am gonna take a different approach. I am gonna make one basic ROM and with options you all can remove stuff and add stuff :P Just an idea XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
check this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17404301&postcount=64

It talks about a free app that does the notification toggle thing as well as possible in this rom.

fwiw, the CM notification toggle widget uses a fair bit of precious hero ram, and one of the reasons why this rom is so fast is because it doesn't have all of the CM bloat that came in later cm roms.

PLEASE don't start adding cm stuff to this rom - it defeats the purpose and will gradually start slowing things down more and more as other bits and pieces are added.

nandroid in modern recoveries backs up and restores the ext partition just like bart and does it more efficiently and can make multiple copies unlike bart's single copy.

I know for a fact that the current cwm recovery does this with it's nandroid backups.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Coedy:
Think he means the reboot to recovery option etc?

Or maybe the stupid notification toggle system people seem to love (even though every rom ive tried with one the notification is sloooow..)

By the way, this is one crazy rom... so..so..so..fast...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Yeah sorry, meant extended power menu with boot to recovery option. As for Bart it was just something I read in RaduG post about the apps2sd system used.

And yeah, for me a percentage standard battery icon would be cool. Thanks again :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
back in radug's day bart was the only way to backup ext and restore it again.

now nandroid does it, at least in newer cwm versions. I don't know amonra any more since moving to cwm permanently a few months ago, but hopefully amonra does this also. amonra kidn of stopped being updated on the hero some time ago unfortunately, so I don't know for sure if it does ext backup transparenly in nandroids yet or if you still have to use the huge nandroid+ext option in amonra that used to be the way to go last year.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Amon-ra backups ext without problems :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Thanks :-) yeah, amonra has all those new options in latest version. Just forget sometimes how old the Rom is !. Will use this Rom till gingervillain hits ! :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Just got back from work. And read all the comment. Well the power menu thingy is on my todo list. But it is kinda low.

And dont worry Don. I am not gonna add CM stuff. Cuss I hate CM stuff XD. I like the stock android for a reason on the Hero. 1 word and you can all guess. If someone guesses it. He may get a prize :P

I hope to have the reboot stuff in the 6.1 release which will come today/tomorow. Depends on how I feel. Pretty tired now. First 2 days in a glass factory and the temp is to die for. It is just to hot XD

Dont you mean salsasense 5? AKA Gingervillain?. TBH since VR13 villainrom went down the ladder for me. VR12 was nice :D FV 1.6 was nice. And I think since I have not seen any notice on the VR site about any dev going on for the Hero. It is going to be a long wait. I guess :P And it is prob just gonna be as slow as SS :P

P.S. Who backups now anyways?? I don't :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
JiieHD has joined the villain team and is working on Gingervillain :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
That's my understanding too. Gingervillain would be the follow up to froyd, ie without sense. JieeHD has a nexus now too but is still working on gingervillain :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I've now themed this rom, as i prefer the simple style over the sense style (different people like different stuff :) )Anyway, you find it over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17431125#post17431125 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
GV will be a good rom but possibly not quite as quick as omfgb, however definitely lighter than any sense roms (it's not sense based). I'm involved with it too.

anyway,

got home from work last night at 5:40 pm. talked to my wife while driving so battery went down like 20% in that half an hour, but when I got home was 63%. (yes, talk uses lots of battery).

basically didn't use phone last night, just left it with normal settings (data on, wifi enabled and connected, bt off, a few widgets etc, LP unlocked version with friends widget getting 15 minute updates from tw and fb, gmail getting push updates, gtalk connected.... so definitely not in a disabled state at all)

woke up a few minutes ago. checked it at 8:40 am (basically now).

so its' been 15 hours. I lost 4%. it's a 59%. seriously. 4% in 15 hours.

kernel: fly 13, smartassv2, 518/176, no other settings enabled.

DAMN - best sleep results I've ever had in my entire life! and with a 2.1 rom!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

ve4's base is obviously very very efficient (which I already knew), and fly13 with smartassv2 is the best kernel ever made.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] festercho:
app2sd

I just flashed the rom and it looks fast and stable for now but it seems that app2sd is not working good for me .. when i install from market it's ok but when i try to restore my apps with my backup root apps install in internal memory.

Also i would love an update zip for live wallpaper picker :) There are still some live wallpapers working good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Apps2sd works for me. Have you ticked the option for this in Manage Applications and also ticked Allow unknown sources? :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
in this rom you have to go into settings->applications->development and enable apps2sd feature there. its' that simple :-). but it's disabled by default. why? because (a) I suspect maybe it's not smart enough to check for a valid ext partition first (And by the way I don't know what types of ext parts it supports, you'd have to search ve4 thread for that info), but also (b) phones are often faster without apps2sd enabled (at least with the stock 2gb sd card that came with the hero) so for sheer speed it should be off.

but I have mine enabled with my 16gb sd card (1gb ext) and it's faster than any other rom I've used.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] festercho:
Yes i ticked unknown sources and app2sd too ... I am using ext3 and as i said when i install from market it's ok .. installing on ext but when i try from restore apps are restored in internal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lovermed:
Great rom .. The only Rom that doesn't lag at all .. :)

any help ? thank youuu
