I'm really glad to know that :D

I just check my mediafire account after a long time today,

6600 downloads on ligux RC2

5590 downloads on Rose v5

5309 downloads on decked X these are pretty awesome numbers to me and i wanted to thank everyone fr still using my builds,i was planning on removing the download links but i dont think i ever shall..

Right now m on the Xperia U

Still choose the Hero since we always had better developer support :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeatsByMessi:
well you made/ported some of the best roms for the hero. its a shame your hero got smashed :( i can only imagine what other amazing roms we all would have been treated to from you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
well, we have SHPONGLE. which is the son of Decked_X :p!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeatsByMessi:
Yeah, we sure do. Decked_X was my favorite Rom for the hero till shpongle came along. I guess the reason I like it so much is because it's essentially an updated Decked_X
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Yeah. Shpongle will not be alive if it wasn't for Goku's port, so Kudos for him!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hammadjavaid:
Plz update download links
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
sorry my apologies just updated the links :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slashigol:
I have installed Gmail stand alone apk, Gmail v 2.3.5, and success. But when I run it just appear a blank white display and nothing happen. So, I still can't sign-in to my gmail account. Does anyone could help?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kojitabe:
Found another bugs,ext2 and ext4 partition not works on my hero.

Waiting for next release,wish will be better.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bazvw205:
I've had it installed for almost a week now and it seems to b superb, probably one of the fastest I've used infact, the only thing that happens on mine when I lock the screen and it closes up mine just goes all pixelated? Anything else I've done on it in regards to apps have been fine too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minn1009:
in-call touch UI a bit annoying when accidentally end/hold call but superb ROM BTW
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Just a quickie bootanimation with Deck logo in it.

https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=060174ee4de065ca&sc=documents&id=60174EE4DE065CA!151#

If anyone has any inspiration for a design, ligo or image I'm open to suggestions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Prof Peach!i must say u've supported this rom tremendously!!!THANK YOU!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Without feedback and teamwork the roms never get anywhere.

Wish I knew how to port roms so I could help more.

Baby due in 2 1/2 weeks (:eek:) so times a bit tight for any big projects.

Will try and do a few boot animations for some variety.... Like I said.... any inspiration or requests.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Still running this Rom with 0 issues. Easily as fast and smooth as any other I've tried and I've tried pretty much all of them over the past year or so since rooting. Hope for an update but not sure how it can be improved on.

@Prof Peach, will try your boot animation - thanks for that :-)

Could you maybe try a gingerbread style one ? with gingerbread man, as It's great to remind myself this is 2. 3 as it runs like the quickest 2. 1 :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Here's my 1st attempt at a Gingerbready type boot animation.

I quite like it actually..... seems a shame the rom is still a "deck" title when bharat_goku has done all the porting.

If it was me I'd have my name all over it. This roms too good to give someone else all the credit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
It would be great if the problem on installation of apps could be resolved.

Otherwise, you would be constrained by certain apps of not being able to use when using this ROM.

Really hope to see a light weight version of the latest gingerbread where our Hero will be able to run comfortably without issues like low in memory, làuncher reboot, blank home screen and inability to do more multitasking as well as Eclair or Froyo.

Forgot to add, I dislike the phone apk used in this ROM. It will show my local incoming call number with dashes example, 876-543-21 instead of the more commonly 87654321 shown for other ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
Really good port, after I put the dalvik-cache to sd-ext with help of s2e is there only small bug with instalation of apk signed with the teskkey... for example the transparent google+
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schetz:
trying this ROM and it's really fast for GB rom but I have one problem..

I cannot add google account therefore I cannot use market or Gmail..

It only offers me to add some Exchange account,don't get it..

any solution ? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I'm using this rom and both Gmail and Market are working perfectly.

Have you loaded the Gapps package required in order to install the Gmail apps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schetz:
ugh,to be honest I didn't know it was required, obviously must read more carefully next time:)

thank you very much , will try it when I get home
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Rename zip file to bootanimation.zip and paste to System/media.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Any chance the update can have things like developers tools and terminal emulator taken out. Lose a bit of the bloat that only a select few might want.

Maybe add in something like root explorer.... seeing as anyone who install a custom rom is likely to get it anyway.

This might be a silly question, but is there a reason the gapps have to be installed seperately from the rom. If a light gapps pack was already in, it would save the confusion with market and gmail not working. Dont want people going back to another rom when they think this ones not working..... when it does work..... brilliantly.

(When I say light gapps.... I mean only the essentials to get the phone running and linked to the market... which is after all essential.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
+1 for a lighter version in the update. I generally remove stuff I don't use anyway but the option to not need to do this would be cool. Always use root explorer too but its a paid app so not sure if it could be included.

@Prof Peach, love the boot animations. Cheers mate :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elnney:
This is the fastest Gingerbred ROM for Hero I've ever tested.

Awesome work. thanks !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
by far the highest priority must be that some apps won't install on it that run perfectly on every other rom out there. it's not a gb thing, they work fine on all other gb roms.

so please focus on solving that problem. we can generate our own lite scripts and so on, it's pretty easy to do. but we, the end users, probably can't solve problems with the rom not functioning correctly at a fundamental level.

it really is a fast rom. as fast as omfgb, another fantastic aosp-based gb rom for the hero (look for it's thread, you'll love it).

but without running some of my main apps it's not something that I can run. I did try it and like enough that if the compatibility problem is solved then it could become a main daily driver.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
I'm confident the developer is working on a fix for the issue around installing some applications. All my apps have installed and run fine. This Rom is faster and smoother than any gb Rom so far on my phone ( with some unused system apps removed). Can't understand why a port should be this good but, at least for me, it sure is :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
Fast like crazy!!!!!! Thanks!Vote 5 stars
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hj1987:
Awesome!

Loving this ROM! THANK YOU!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Would users stating which specific apps are a problem help narrow down the issue? From memory i had to go through the market for :

Titanium backup

Launcher Pro Plus

Camera 360 Ultimate

(IIRC) Rom manager.

These were all failed installs from SD card but installed ok direct from market.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

@ Timbo..... whats apps have you removed? Other than some obvious ones I dont want to remove anything that will knacker something else.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

I'm not getting on well with the new market layout. Very slow to load and laggy as hell. Rearched for a way of going back to the old style and came up with this.

Can someone tell me if thats ok or is it more specific to this rom?

Nevermind..... Skip section 2 and 3.....installed 2.3.6apk from SD card and it has reverted back to old style without deleting any cache or settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Yeah the new market sucks. All I did was freeze the market updater with TB, prior to this I think I uninstalled updates for the market to revert back in 'manage applications '. Has stayed at the old useable market since.

@Prof Peach, I blitz all apps on system that I can get from the market plus all the wallpapers I don't use. Careful with some such as talk though, had trouble once when I removed it. I use TB for this also so you can experiment by freezing before uninstalling :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I'm wondering if "market updater" updates the market app itself or just the apps you have installed? cuz if it updates the market apk (vending.apk) then even after you installed the older market won't it just get upgraded again without you being able to stop it?

Please post if the old market has stuck for you. cuz if it does stick then I'm ALL over that downgrade you posted :-)

I hate the newest market on the hero. on my dev phone (an old but faster 2.2 LG phone) the newest market is really fast, but not on the hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Just found out I am back to new version. I don't want to disable the updater as its needed to update all my apps...... unless someone can tell me different.

If its disabled can I still go into market and update all..... just miss out on-the auto update and notification?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
darn.

well here's a thought: with the ability to set unix permissions with your SU file manager app (there are several but root explorer still is the most reliable, for free there is file expert and another one called SU somethingorother LoL)... maybe you can do the install as you did so you're on the older market and then go into the system app folder or data app folder or where ever the older vending.apk got installed, and change it to remove any writable flags?

what do you think? would that work? I don't recall having ability to change any "Deletable" types of flags so this still might not prevent it from being overwritten and upgraded.

Worth a try though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
I have 'market updater' frozen and can still update my apps. Still have the old market which is how I like it :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
nice! titanium freezing.

however, for some ppl who use titanium from apk installs.... erm... yea, anyway for some ppl titanium isn't a simple option because of this rom having a big bug in the apk install capability.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Ive just cut the updater and pasted it to SD. At least that way, if there are any issues I can slot it back where it should be. Then installed old market, updated a few apps manually. All works fine ...... so far. #insert crossed fingers smiley here#
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
So why not just install TB from market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Free version doesn't allow freezing and some prefer to source paid apps..... from other "vendors".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Sure, I'm aware of that. I would be surprised though if that's what dkelley meant, as he's an app developer if I'm not mistaken!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
No offence intended. Meant as a general statement.

(sits sheepishly hoping to avoid slappage)

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Is it possible to fix the homescreen so it does not rotate?

I find it a PITA and prefer it fixed.

I still want the rest (everything but the homescreen) to auto rotate so settings/display/checkbox is ot an option.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
No man, not at all from me at any rate. :-)

Just to clarify my point as I'm knackered what with new baby, work and ****. What I'm saying is that, as you're aware, this Rom is cool but there is one issue with installing apps from SD. To avoid this, prior to flashing Rom, backup all your apps with whatever app that works. Then download backup app from market and install all those apps again. Bingo! You now have the best gb Rom for gsm hero to date with all functions including waze and Google nav and all your favourite apps. Well, works for me anyway :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I did that - titanium backup wouldn't install some of my apps successfully. and pushing the apks manually into the system/app or data/app folders wouldn't make them run either.

So there really IS something strange going on with this rom, like it has some bizarre app compatibility requirement setting that is incorrectly configured, making some apps simply impossible to run.

I can't remember which ones, but there were several. from market or otherwise, that wouldn't work for me.

However I TOTALLY get how busy you are :-)

if I had time I'd try to do these things myself, but I too am insanely busy.

hopefully someone else can work out what the problem is.

cheers!

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Similar.... a few didnt install after TB but all of mine installed when I went to the market.

Just tried using an app installer from SD but with the same "not installed" message for certain apps.

Will continue my googlequest for enlightenment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I even had "not installed" for some market-sourced apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Could it just be some cdma to gsm thing that's been missed somewhere? Sounds logical to me but not sure. I'll have a look too guys with my limited skills. Bugs like this are annoying but, strangely, part of the fun too :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Update.... searching for a solution to the apps not installing. The same file seems to come up in the security settings. smd12tmp1.asec. Came across this:

I searched and found no such smd12tmp1.asec file on mine. I looked and couldnt see it anywhere else either.

Hope thats of help to someone who understands the techy stuff cos it sure as hell means nowt to me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kushdeck:
nice. :)

-deck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Ok so the next update will be uploaded in a bit...everything is working but the application install bug still persists...m still looking for solutions to it hopefully will find it soon,Plz bear with the wait have my university exams going on and havent got time to search,hoping for continued support from u guys :D

@Prof peach I will be using ur boot animation,infact I've told kushdeck the actual dev abt it too,a big thank you for it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Updated the ROM!

Read changelog in post 3

Plz Post feedbacks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
New Bootanimation

Had another go at some animation for the HeroDeck rom. :D

(Same as before..... change zip file name to bootanimation.zip then copy paste to system/media)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Looking forward to trying the update.

Do I need a full wipe/re-install or just a Dalvik wipe?

Not sure if a simple dalvik wipe will get rid of the bloat etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Try full wipe since its a new android version :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamsud:
Thanks for the update and best of luck for ur exam
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
JUst flash Goku with 2.3.4 yesterday and it's very fast. Is there anybody flash 1.3e? Is it fast?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Well m running 2.3.5 n i can neva say its slower than the previous :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
Yeah.It's fast as hell. But with this kind of ROM, what dial apps you guys use?

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

i have problem with the market. Keep not responsible!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I recommend touchpal dialer or go contacts ;-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I agree, although touchpal is QUITE a bit faster than go contacts and has become my dialer/contact manager of choice in all non-sense roms.

go is pretty but most go apps, other than go sms and possibly go weather, really run too slowly on the hero to be really ideal.

I love the go apps, just wish they were a little quicker and lighter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Why have I not heard of this dialer before? Anyhoo, I gave it a try and it's quite nice.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oops, I was trying to keep that one to myself. I guess the secret's out!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Update installed. All setup and running super quick (as I expected) Still by far the fastest, smoothest and stable GB rom out there.

The skinny update has freed up a lot of phone but the essentials are still there. Really good balance of apps supplied.

Congratulations on a great port Goku and good luck with the exams. Updating the latest bootanimation as your name should be there somewhere.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Does any like the default theme on this build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Didnt really check out the theme. Installed LauncherPro and installed backups so it reverted back to my saved look/feel/buttons.

All my usual apps installed (not on SD) and I have 102MB available free space on internal memory, thats about 50MB ore than old (1.2)version. Cheers.:D

Been through every application and so far not a problem. Much respect to Goku..... which is why he is credited in this bootanimation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
all you guys don't have problem with market??? i did a full wipe again but it still don't work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I have done a full wipe of everything 3 times now but am unable to get Gapps to install in order to setup the Google account. When I tap on add account, it reboots the 'phone. No market app in default apps on 'phone. Now installing with GApps-mdpi-20110528.zip to see if this resolves the issue. Yes, that solved the problem.

The GApps that you have posted on the first page, does NOT work on this rom for me?

BTW,I'm using the latest AmonRa.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I did a full reset, cache wipe and dalvik wipe.

Then installed rom, rebooted...... then went back into recovery and installed gapps. Then rebooted.

Straight away it asked for setup details and works great for me.

I would suggest a full wipe and install again if people are having issues with the market. If the markets missing, make sure you install the gapps.... thats where the market and setup files are.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hirencj:
Great rom fast and stable and new awesum theme but still the applications issue freaks me out... thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
The only apps issue I'm aware of is that some (not all) apps wont install direct from SD card either directly or via backup tools like Titanium Backup.

It only happened for a couple of mine. They did however install straight away from the market. Takes a bit longer than the backups but easy enough.

Apart from an extra 10 mins to do the initial setup and install all your preffered apps, this rom is fully operational. Well worth the extra setup time.

Only my opinion but I'm sure others will agree.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Agreed. I have been using the earlier version for the last 15 days without a reboot. And it was running as it did on the first day. And the new version looks good so far.

- Wiped everything.

- Formatted SYSTEM

- Installed ROM

- Installed GApps

Like breeze.

As said, the workaround for the applications not installing is push using ADB. I am happy with that. Works for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slashigol:
I just want to share my experience using this ROM. In the first time booting this ROM I didn't flash it with Gapps that inserted in this thread. So, I can't run Gmail that I installed from another source and some applications can't be installed too. But after I flash my ROM with those Gapps, my phone has a fully function and no problem to install all applications I need. My phone keeping fast and stable, battery is a normal life as official ROM. And now, this ROM is my life!:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dodjob:
ok :)

Reporting after one week of use. This rom is still A W E S O M E !!! Daaam I've waited so long to get something that fast and stable ^^

I have used most of last rom here and this one is the first who surprise me after the udpdate to froyo. This rocks and bring my little hero a new life.

I also do not have any problem with the market :D

Thanks A LOT for your work man :)

GreazzZz,

H.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I am unable to make a call on this update and have returned to the previous version, which works perfectly. Is anyone else out there experiencing a problem making calls?
