I know, that's how it works. flash a bunch and then unexpectedly one rom will misbehave. it's not a fault of the rom, it's that your battery has finally become miscalibrated making android unable to read it's level correctly. discharge it completely, charge it completely (several hours, might say it's charged previous to that but charge it for hours anyway) and then clear battery stats in recovery, then run it without charger until it's completely dead, then fully charge again.

do that and life should be good again.

this is a well known side effect of how the phone reads the battery level and how batteries of this type attempt to report their own battery level.

NOTE: I've flashed roms probably 400 times on the hero. I understand how it can appear to be a fault of the rom itself, but believe me (and believe every other rom flashing expert), it's not.

oooh - a new gapps :-)

heh heh

EDIT: ok, bug in latest decked rom:

beautiful widgets stops updating it's display after a few minutes of the phone screen being off. it gets stuck at the old time without ever updating again until I remove and readd that widget. the clock in notification bar is correct however.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
I've been running this ROM for 24 hours now and had no FCs. Also I don't have problem installing any apps. Installed about 25 'til now, some of them are from market, and still didn't get "app not installed" problem". Restored ~10 apps using Titanium Backup and have no problems with it. Yes, some of the apps aren't displayed in market (will try latest gapps and then report back), including Endomondo. Didn't try navigation yet. So far so good, thanks for good ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
which rom? there are like 3 or 4 different versions in this thread. the most recent one from yesterday or the day before? or 1.3e from post 1? or 1.3 from a later post?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] clarkey15:
Now that sounds confusing! We need build numbers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
That is the same issue I had with the latest Decked up like crazy test.

Markets missing apps were solved when I flashed the gapps that have now been removed from the op.

find them here

Copy to sd card, boot into recovery, delvik wipe, install gapps, reboot.

If people are having issues with fancy widgets, and its used mainly for the clock, you might want to give this a go.

I have it linked to Stock alarm. A lot smaller package but with a good sense clock look.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
beautiful widgets, not fancy widgets, and it's the best clock/weather app (paid) available. So I'll stick with it.

BUT I have good news - after updating to the latest version of beautiful widgets my troubles have ceased. either that or the rom fixed itself.

I'm using the latest decked rom (again I wish they weren't all called 1.3 though) and everything has been perfect since updating beautiful widgets using the market (rather than using my tit backed up version which was a few months old).

So it seems something in this rom indicates a change in the latest GB sources maybe that wasn't compatible with some older versions of apps.

all apps install fine so far, everythign is wonderful.

just need ext based apps2sd and my life will be complete. (yea... right, if that was all it would take, eh?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
I used the 0828 gapps which can be found over at the CM7 stable release thread (xda forum).

This one uses new market.

Or you may use the 0613 gapps link from Prof Peach, just 2 post above, which uses old market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
Sorry, forgot to mention that. It's a test version, the one with "decked up like crazy" zip name :-).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Lol don't worry now that the test build is stable I think ill launch a build which will be the final,version of the ROM n all this confusion will be cleared out :)

Finally with all ur feedbacks I'm happy to come to the final stages of this ROM :)

Once I finish the final build I hope to stabilize Rose soon n find some new ROMs to port :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Trying the latest crazy version and its the best on battery for me. Just as quick as all the other 1.3 variations but the battery life is slightly better. They have all been ok but this is a definite improvement for me.

Running with Las Venturax (0.6.2+) Governor: SmartAssV2 (652/352) Screen-Off Profile: (352/176)

From fully charged last nightits now on 84% some 11 hours later. I know thats overnight so a bit misleading but compared to others thats good. Will continue with this one today and report after a days normal use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
no peach u may not continue using this rom!

m uploading the final finished version now :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Ah well..... looks like its more flashing for me.

Will this need a full wipe before installing or can i get away with cache/delvik wipe if I'm on the latest test version (decked up like crazy)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Well its up :D

i accidently put two gallerys in this build though,

one being 3d version and the other being 2d gallery :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Flashed the new version with a cache & dalvik cache wipe over the previous version of your rom.

Rom booted no problems.

Installed the Gapps but can't get Google to work on this rom????????

Gone back to previous version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Which gapps?have u signed in?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sabers105:
everything works great for me, GPS,phone,app installation,market,nav,... all ok! This ROM is as fast as android 2.2. I like it and thanks bharat_goku!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks Bharat. Gapps-20110828-vm.signed is the one that I used.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
All working well for me with the recommended gapps.

Don't know if this makes a difference but I reboot after each zip installed and when back into recovery i do a delvik wipe before the next zip. Seems to cause less issues.

It would be nice to see the exact version of the build in the software spec page. Hard to differentiate from one to another.

Still..... best gb rom for me by far. Cheers bharat-goku.

sent from HeroDeck using XDA App
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] clarkey15:
Now that the latest and hopefully final build has been released it's time for me to go check out sense :) If I don't like it, I'm definitely coming back to this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
The light gapps that you posted, works fine for me. The bigger gapps package gives me an install error in AmonRa,something about Genie Widget.apk???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Just wanted to confirm that all is working fine here. Thanks OP!!

Installed the latest (final) build with lite gapps and fly kernel 13 (with min and max flags set)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Hmmm amonra...install clockwork n lemme know if its ok,seemed to work fine fr me on cwm
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
Ofc it would work fine on CWM, AmonRA doesn't accept incorrectly signed zips. That error came about because the package was signed and then GenieWidget was removed, and tbh telling people to use CWM isn't a great solution.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey! I got a thanks! Very nice of you Bharat!

Cheers and congrats on the new release - will be trying it soon.

Don

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

hahaha, classic. Now that this rom is perfect, time to leave.

it's always easier to go home again if you know that home is a wonderful place :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Just sign the file and then repost it, then people can use AmonRA. I get a lot of unsigned files lately and everytime I need to sign them to even install the, CWM for the Hero is outdated. Not that AmonRA is any newer but as far as I know it works better XD for me at least.

I used to have a CMW zip and a AmonRA zip and would switch betwien the 2, now I just sign everything I get XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I can't stand that amonra only supports the root of sdcard for flashable zips. it's so frustrating. I have a couple dozen flashable zips on my sd card, roms, kernels, patches, extra app flashables, and I have them nicely organized into subfolders on my sd card.

I have no particular love of either, but cw recovery certainly is more feature laden and with the app too it's in a different league from amon-ra.

After using both extensively for a long long time I decided some time ago to take the much more extensive features, organizational capability, UI simplicity (apk app) along with a couple of annoyances (trackball confirmation UI tricks, less configurable wipes where ext is wiped when system is wiped) of clockwork recovery over out-of-date UI and restrictive signed-zip requirements of amon-ra.

It certainly is an almost religious argument for many people LoL. My decision is based on practicality though - it would be impossible for me to keep the flashable zips that I have now on my large sd card with amon-ra, and as a developer it would be silly to require myself to sign every zip just to test it on my development phone.

Some devs feel amon-ra wipes more reliably than CWM but I've seen faults in both recoveries and most wipe issues are due to bad flashing scripts or unusual file permissions modifications done by the user or rom dev, not a fault of the recovery.

Amon-Ra is smaller at the expense of features. That means nothing on the hero but on a phone like my wife's LG there isn't room for CWM recovery - only amon-ra will fit.

it's like, do I want mac OSX (which is, for sake of this argument, basically the hugest most feature-laden and prettiest unix based OS in existence) or do I want "Damn Small Linux (DSL)"? they both accomplish the same goals but the user experience is very different unless you only do the most basic stuff which is identical between them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Yea ok true that but I like easy :p so yea :P and I got a few Zips on my SD card but if I want to flash something I just move it to the root. then I know what Rom I am using. forget that sometimes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
heh yea I was like that for a long time, then I came into a 16gb sd card and it was a life changing moment. more importantly it was a recovery changing moment hahaha

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

so, setting up this rom currently! doing a big tit restore, I see that ext partition support works now :-)

so far so good, very excited to put this rom into daily use! I think it'll be the best bet for speed besides VE6 which is still faster but has a few app compatibility issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] clarkey15:
I know :) I can see that bharat makes an awesome rom as shown in this thread, I'm hoping the same can be done with Rose V2, I will be back to this rom though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
5 1/2 hours since I charged my phone on Decked up for life. Sent/received a few text and made a few short calls.

Phones at 95%....... actually..... its just gone 94% when I looked again..

Seriously quick GB rom and the way I have it set up.... great for battery life too.

Thats what I started using xda for.

Cant wait to see what Bharat comes up with next. Hope its not another sense rom. Like mines lightweight n frisky.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
well in a month or so maybe it'll be possible to build android 4.0 AOSP for the hero!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
With facial recognision my phone might hide from me.

I like the sound of 4.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salmanbodla:
I really like this rom... one of the best I tried. However, comparing it to Elelinux's 7.1, one thing I miss in Decked_again is that the there are not may keyboard input languages. If you could take the LatinIME.apk from Ele's 7.1 and put that into this one, it would be awesome. Please do think about it and let us know in the first or change-log post if you made that change. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
A couple of questions. Do you need CWM to flash this rom or can you flash with AmonRa?

If AmonRa is required, where do I find it and what is the process to get it on my phone?

I'd like to flash this rom. It may be the last rom I flash on my Hero. The Samsung Gallaxy Hercules comes out on Telus tomorrow. Gonna wait a bit for some opinions but I'll likely take the leap soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] clarkey15:
You can use AmonRa or ClockworkMod to flash this rom, I'm pretty sure CWM is more favourable to those here though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Thanks. From reading the thread it sounded like maybe the zip wasn't signed and would not flash with Amon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I flashed it with CWM so no, you dont need AmonRa.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I've now flashed the DFL rom and am loving it so far. Great job Goku. Everything is fast and smooth. Will test gps and music tomorrow. You may have delayed my purchase of a new phone with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I have always used AmonRa to flash all my roms for the Hero. CWM screwed things up for me once and I find that the latest version of AmonRa is excellent.

This time the full gapps that Bharat posted did not install on my 'phone but the light gapps worked perfectly and then I used the Market to download any of the missing Google items that I wanted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Nice work Bharat_Goku!

Flashed Decked_up_life and the light gapps provided using AmonRa, everything works nicely now!

Just like the previous version, this GB ROM is so smooth and fast, make me feel like don't ever have the need to go back Froyo or older AOSP ROMs anymore :D

Thanks for the hard work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
16 1/2 hours or so since I fully charged after setting this rom up. The phones been used lightly, emails, text and calls, including 6 night hours without use but its still showing 70% battery.

Not conclusive after just one charge cycle but for me its a lot better than any other rom after the same period.

If you are in 2 minds about trying this rom....dont be.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hirencj:
Thanks Bharat for the great Rom... nw waiting for Final Version of ROSE.... Thanks... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Auw how sweet you mentioned my best friend :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Lol its taken out now :) but it's a nice guide :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elliotn:
this rom Is the same as elelinux 7, I c no different except that it feels fast a bit
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
This GB rom feels smoother than any other that I have tried before. I had to change the launcher as I found that it was a bit lagging at times and once Go Launcher was installed, I find it as smooth as the Vanilla 2.1 roms. No white screens when exiting the Market (able to use the new market for the first time as the lag is not nearly as bad as it was on any of the other GB roms.

I don't know what it is but this is what I was waiting for :-)

Well done to the developers. I don't have Google Maps installed as I use a stand alone GPS device so I cannot comment on this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Really good ROM. Fastest GB I have tried till date, with due respects to all the devs. It's really smooth, using it for a day now and it hasn't slowed at all. No buggy behavior till now.

The only problem is that some apps refuse to get installed and pushing them to system/app also don't work. But installing the same apps from the market works great. If this issue is resolved this is gonna be the best out here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Great ROM, really fast, after 2 days of use I've found a bug (maybe)if I take a picture while music is playing it doesn't resume until reboot, can't tell if this is MIUI's music fault or the ROM as I've deleted stock music player. It'll continue to be my daily driver though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dodjob:
this rom is freaking AWESOME. Thanks for the port man :) I do have a problem with the 3d gallery but i'm planning to remove this sh#t anyway.

Thanks again and keep the good Work!!

Gruß,

dodjob
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangiseng:
Does this ROM has animated Flip Clock as the one in SalsaSense 4.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JieeHD:
/facepalm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Or download Fancy Widgets (not fancy widget) from the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Been using Cronos Ginger 2.3.4 but as I use the camera a lot, its shutting down and forcing a reboot every 4 pictures is a pain.

Gonna try this one as the few who have tried it out seem to be positive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Running round in circles here. Tweaking as one does.... I have made the notification screen transparent..... and I cant find where to undo it.... anyone help.

Still early days but apart from certain apps not loading (get them from the market and it works fine) all is good, fast and seems to be stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Thanks for the reviews :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Well if this is how a first version port of a CDMA Rom works, I really envy the CDMA guys. They must be having a ball all this time.

The best GB experience so far. Been using it for 2 days now and must say this Rom surpasses all other popular GSM Hero Roms in matters relating to stability, speed, smoothness, etc. I haven't encountered a single bug in the last two days. GPS is a treat, wifi works as it should. I haven't really tested the battery life but I am game with this Rom even if the battery life is not the best. For now it is my daily Rom and it is rocking.

@Bharat_Goku, any plans to release an updated version of this anytime soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
+1

Go on...... you know you want to. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slashigol:
Is this ROM for GSM Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cortiis:
Yeh, it is.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cet90:
i want to know by comparing to cronos hero X 2.3.6 which is better?? since i know u have use this rom b4 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kojitabe:
Just flashing this rom.

First impression,this rom is fast and stable.

Will update if there is any bugs or issue (wish there is nothing :D )

Thanks to port this ROM to our Hero,and thanks to kushdeck.

Btw,is this ROM support ext4?

If i use ext partition,will it affect the responsive of this ROM? Because some ROM become lag when i use ext partition.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
I use ext partition for apps on this Rom and am more than happy with the performance. Might be wrong but I think It's darktremor apps2sd in this ROM , which I always thought was inferior to slimmer, recent methods. Does work though and this still is the best gb Rom so far for hero. GPS works for me, Google nav got me efficiently to a 40mile destination :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
It is a miracle. I am still running this :D Awesome work on the ROM. Speed is nice and that I can use all the new apps even more. I can even yell at the damn thing and it types a message. How handy is that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brat.haneq:
hi there

I've been watching this thread for quite some time now.

Now I believe that it's time for me to upgrade from elelinux 2.3.4 (yeah, old).

I have Amon_Ra. Are the zips signed?

Or will I have to do magic with signing/or installing CWM ?

With regads

brat.haneq
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Everything works fine with AmonRa, just use the light gapps posted on the first page and download Google apps not included from the Market :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fancyhe:
In the first page two GApps packages were mentioned:

gapps-20110828 (1).zip

&

gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Which one is more recommended? I'm little bit confused.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
I used the older 20110613 gapps. This one includes the older, faster Market. For gmail or maps, you'll have to get it from the Market, not included inside gapps.

And if you prefer the old Market, remember to freeze the market updater via Titanium, otherwise it will still auto update to new Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
That gapps was put together for peoples like me who wanted a skinny version....less bloat thats seldom used.

Any other apps can then be downloaded from the market anyhoo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
where I used to work we called those damn things "Student Interns".

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

waze resets my phone when it gets triangulation from the gps. however google nav appears to work perfectly (for 20 minutes last night at least) so that is sufficient. I just bring up waze in case anyone knows of a fixable reason why it doesn't run in this rom. it runs in many ohter gb roms ok.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brat.haneq:
Hi there!

I just realised, that this is CMDA port, and that means no polish language ;)

whoopsie ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
Is the usb tethering working with LV 0.6.2? What was that line you have to add to build.prop in order to fix it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GhostMaster9:
I installed this rom but when i try to add a google account the phone breaks and reboot, do i need to install something else?

It only works on Hero CDMA? Or GSM too?

Thanks

EDIT: i tried to install the full GAPPS but gives me a error.

Missing file

GenieWidget.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I installed rom, booted up to get it running..... back into recovery, did a delvik wipe then installed gapps 20110613from the op. They are not the newest gapps but I can confirm it works 1st time for me at least.

Others have commented on the same genie issue but I never had the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
This is ported FROM CDMA but is is FOR GSM. Do not flash this on a CDMA phone. Your phone will explode. Or something.

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

I ran Google Nav for my commute home today. At first I couldn't get a GPS fix so I ran GPS Status and got a fix on 8 sats in about 10 seconds. After that Nav got a fix and worked fine. I also listened to music using PowerAMP while Nav was running and everything ran flawlessly.

Now I'm torn. Hercules came out today on Telus. I took a look and it's a great looking phone. The screen is amazing but it's so huge. It's like going from my old CRT 28 inch tv to a 46" high def flatscreen. Do I stick with my trusty Hero til my contract is up, or pay the penalty and move up. Decisions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
My plan is to upgrade soon but to pass the Hero onto Mrs Peach. Then I can play with it and install whatever I fancy yet on my own beast, still have a whopper of a screen and a processor better than my laptop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
This ROM is great. Everything works so far and it really flies.

Except for the default browser (same for all GB ROMs). Is there any improvement that can be done to speed up the browsing experience on GB ROM? I've disabled the zoom view which helps a little.

The browser on a 2.1 Sense ROM, example VR13, is really smooth and fast. In comparison, browsing on GB is like there's another layer of screen protector on top, not as smooth.. at times laggy.
