Speaker on in incoming calls at 97% for 3-4 seconds - i can live with it :-)

Dialer - when Incoming Call, or when making Outgoing Call - the contact name is right aligned - in lockscreen mode it is OK btw :-)

For me the most annoying thing is slowly and unadequate market - sometimes downloads start an hour or a day(!) later. It's trying to update apps 2-3 times after succesfull update - but all these problems are easy to live with - we have very fast rom.

About the battery - my batt is dying,so these day i'll get the new one and see what happens - because of the sense this rom eats more battery...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] harut56:
Any chance that zoom can be fixed?Or is it possible to mix this ROM with SFM 3.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junooni:
incorrect post. please delete
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
anyone tried alternative camera apps with this rom? I haven't yet but will. if camera 360 works well then it is worth using.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberghoser1:
Camera 360 works for me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Cam 360 worked for me too for a couple of shots though they seem a bit blurry... motion blur, like stock rom, stock camera shots. Strange as Cam360 was a big improvement on motion blur in the past, and indeed other roms.

After that I get a blck screen and returned to Home screen.

Tried re-booting but had the same issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oeljaml:
Is there anyone can help me on this, plz I really really want this

Thx in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Here's my little update to this ROM :-D

I had managed to change the bootanimation after some trial and error.

I flashed SalsaStatusBar to remove the recent apps.

I also copied over the non bubble massaging app from SalsaAltMessage and it works.

Anyone any more tweak to suggest, especially to get more speed out of this ROM?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lutchezar:
@puppyko:

Try installing Juwe11 Ram Manager from Maret :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Hey thanks

I will read up more on this Juwe 11 first before I attempt :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Just read a few test reviews and it sounds like it would be ideal for Rose.

No harm in giving it 24-48 and see for yourself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schlehdorn:
it works flawlessly? do you get any fc's?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Do you mean the non bubble message app? Had tested sending and receiving few sms since. They work and look fine to me. Have you try and got fc?

------++++++---------

On the SalsaStatusBar flashed, it removed the recent apps and the pull down is noticeably faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schlehdorn:
i mean the SalsaStatusBar. it was said that its not signed to this rom, so there might be fc's

will test it later today :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
The flash zip worked for me (Instead, I read somewhere it's the non bubble flash zip that may cause problem...so I copied via root explorer).

But it turned out that after the flash, the Quick Setting had been tweaked as well..auto brightness as well as few others were gone...fewer quick setting left as compare to before flash.

Speed vs functionality, I much prefer the more useful quick setting of the original. So I'm not using this anymore (nandroid back).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
i'ts not like the speed is a big deal in this rom (I mean it doesn't need the extra 5% squeezed out by removing features from notification bar recent apps and so on).

I've changed my cpu settings to something more elaborate to get the most out of it, but I don't know how it will affect battery life yet:

using setcpu now as this has profiles.

default is ondemand, 352-614

screen off profile is conservative, 264-518

charging is performance, 352-672

the result is INSANE speed. because profiles change so fast when config'd by setcpu this way, conservative doens't seem to (so far) cause any wakeup issues. as soon as the screen is showing it kicks into 614 ondemand and the unlock anim is actually smoother than it was using SA2 governor without any profiles!

conservative keeps battery use low when screen is off but it's possible this will make music playback bad in background... I haven't tried that yet (but likely will in the next day or two).

and when plugged in this thing obviously flies at a constant 672 right now, although honestly it's only a small (but nice) improvement over the default ondemand 614 top speed when not plugged in.

loving this rom more and more every day as I tweak the speeds like this.

SA2 and SA really don't get the most out of this rom though. setcpu can be your friend if you use ondemand and conservative profiles as I outlined (the charging profile is just for hte hell of it, not really important to many people probably).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scrollo:
HTC Hub

Rom still rocking. Battery is good, performance still smooth if not a little smoother after a few days use, but I'll be greedy and try those tweaks dkelley :oD

Only issue I'm having involves HTC Hub and its associated bits. Can't install new stuff through it. Says 'downloading' then 'installing' but then message just vanishes or sticks around without actual completion. Log says 'package info not found' each time for whatever it is I'm trying to download. If I just press 'Details' under whatever it is i'm trying to install nothing happens also. Seems to be some files in /etc/fakeserverxml that control what's shown in HTC Hub, suggesting that it isn't actually 'connected' to the main site which could explain the problem. Anyone know what's going on or had a similar problem? Worked fine for me in v3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Da9L:
How can you guys say that this rom is so fast? Im beginning to think that it could be something with my device/rom.. Because mine is not fast.. Well its the fastest gingerbread rom i've tried but compared to Kimera 3.0.1 this rom is pretty slow ..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I think the speed of any rom is a difficult one to quantify. Its all relative...... feels faster than other full fat sense roms but no where near as quick as... say.... Decked up for life. Rose V3.6 certainly "feels" faster than all the other GB Sense roms to me.

Are we talking how smooth the flow of the homescreen or app list is?..... feels fast.

Are we talking about the keyboard...... feels responsive and fast to me.

In general.... all my apps open and perform as quick if not quicker here than other sense GB roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
you bought the new hero accelerator chip like the rest of us did, right?

remember it's only $29.95 and literally doubles the speed of the phone.

I think I might have been one of the last of us to pick it up a couple months ago, I hope they're still available...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Bought mines from Hooky Joe.

Got it supplied, fitted and optimised for £25. Being a tight wad Scot.... I do like a bargain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Da9L:
Wow.. Havent heard about that? Some chip you solder on the phone or ?

Keyboard is okay and homescreen is also fine in speed. But its rather slow when i want to start an application and press menu -> settings from homescreen.. And also just loading the app screen.. This can take up to 6 seconds where on the Kimera 3 rom its just instant..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
you're out of the loop, eh?

maybe we have faster after market sd cards than you do. the ext partition could be slower on yours as a result, making app drawer collection slower. app list comes up almost instantly for me and I have a lot of apps installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Since ur comparing kimera which is 2.1 rom to this rom,I wanna ask u?

does 2.1 rom support half the apps as this one?

Does 2.1 rom run on 2.3?

Does 2.1 rom have theme support?

Does 2.1 rom have quick settings like this one?

Does a 2.1 rom make u feel like u have a wildfire?

Does 2.1 have the trippy Widgets?

For all the gb sense features u get in this rom u really wanna compare speeds?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Good points.... Well made.

A bit like comparing an Atom to a DB9.

(apart from the Wildfire's flash.... I'd prefer to keep my Hero)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Tumtumdum :P Nice said. :D And the sarcasm on the last page is nice XD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Da9L:
Dont get me wrong dude! Im not insulting your rom at all.. But i just began to wonder when all the other people here said it was fast, and that wasnt my experience, that something was wrong with my device.. This is a very very good rom.. No doubt about that..

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Maybe you have.. I think mine is a class 2 (slow) .. Dont even know if i have created an ext partition.. Cant remember, but i suppose i have or else i guess the rom wouldnt run at all .. On another note, how was i supposed to know you were sarcastic on something you have written? Its not like what you said is impossible when i had a Universal something like that was being done..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Don has an class 2 as well. I got a class 4. but compache aint enabled in here right? well I don't use A2SD anyway. Only compache when possible :D.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
good memory!

however for sake of accuracy, mine is an aftermarket 16gb class 2 card, and all class 2 cards are not created equal. I've used class 4 cards that were slower than my current card very obviously when copying files on computer (not through the phone). My point is that my class 2 card could well be faster than Da9L's stock card (I'm assuming his is the stock class 2 from his hero... if so it's a very reliable make but somewhat slow).

oh and Da9L - you sound upset because you didn't see the joke (and it wasn't done with sarcasm... I was honestly trying to fool you just for the fun of it... I didn't do this meanly or sarcastically). the point of the joke wasn't to make you angry, it was just a prank. sorry about it, but you have to admit that we got you good! :-D

Cheers

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Da9L:
Yes you got me way to good.. I believed it all :P

Do you guys think it would help if i changed to a Class 6 card or something ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
Prank?? I soldered that chip in there myself after consulting the Hero service manual. Was a little tricky since I had a coffee 30 minutes before (makes my hands shake a little).

j/k ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
damn man! well if it starts smoking, don't blame me :-)

By the way, I did base this joke upon a real concept from way-back-when in computer history:

Back around 1987 when I owned my third personal computer (and no, it wasn't an IBM compatible PC, this machine ran a multitasking/multithreaded/memory-protected proprietary graphical OS based upon Unix (called Amiga OS) back when multitasking was just a wild futuristic concept in the world of windows and mac)...

...anyway for this computer there was a cool after-market third-party product you could buy that was an accelerator chip which literally replaced the 68000 cpu chip itself (which was socketed, thankfully).

It doubled clock speed of the CPU itself and added a fast buffer between the CPU and the rest of the board to make up for the fact that the rest of the motherboard wasn't fast enough to take advantage of the extra CPU throughput.

This is where I got the concept for this hero CPU accelerator.

hope it was fun for people :-)

Cheers

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mar9118:
It was not only fun but sounded possible, was even tinkering with the idea to replace the on board RAM of my Hero to say 512mb so it can function like the Wildfire or Pico and run the latest ROM flawlessly :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lutchezar:
May i ask somebody to try reproducing my problem - after shooting with Camera Magic, my phone looses his voice input and output - ringing - OK, picking up and canceling - OK, but no voice send or heard. Not sure that happen using stock camera, but i have to restart phone twice after taking pictures.

BTW, i'm using 8GB class10 SD, i won speed advantage, but i've got problems founding external reader which supports class10 - it costs more than SD card itself :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
all I can say is that camera magic uses a non-standard way of accessing the camera... it's the only app I'm aware of that does so... and if it works strangely then it doesn't mean that the regular app would have any issues.

I HIGHLY recommend camera 360 which has similar features (at least on the surface) but is widely considered to be the best camera app for android. best photo quality, performance, configurability, and it has filters and other cool features sort of like camera magic.

and for the sd card.... the hero isn't designed to take advantage of a card that fast so it's possible that your card is actually introducing hardware compatibility issues. if you think a reader is expensive for your computer with that card, just imagine how expensive it would have been to add class 10 sd read/write compatibility into the hero when it was being designed 2 or 3 years ago and when class 10 either didn't exist yet or was at best still a super expensive leading edge tech.

So I would never use higher than class 6 with the hero and expect full reliability. ppl have used class 8 but I've read of issues with higher class cards as well.

just saying... but the problem with photos could simply be that camera magic is an oddball app. it may have nothing to do with your sd card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Cam360 for me too.

Reliable with good quality and easy to use.

Has worked perfectly on pretty much every rom ive tried.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lutchezar:
The only reason i'm using Camera Magic is it's fastest start. Camera 360 takes too long to start, i prefer it too, but sometimes i need to make a picture asap.

Will play today more with C360, trying to reproduce the Phone Voice problem....

About SD - as "card reader" Hero is perfect for class 10, no doubt it supports it, and most of the laptops are compatible with class 10, and external usb card reader compatible with class 10 start at 35$ plus VAT :-)

I have laptop too, and because of the apps on the sd, the card is 99.999% inside my phone, the only reason for adaper is repartitioning on the pc, but i do that using laptop. Just weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Would be awesome if you managed to do that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's not what I remember reading about the hero's sd spec... interesting though and I'm happy that it works for you. presumably the class 10 card goes into some kind of slower compatibility mode with the hero or similar. I remember reading that there are some class 8 cards that are not compatible with the hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
So far as I know it stops at 4 with the speed increase. I tested it with some cards. and 2 is slow. 4 is faster and then its all the same for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Patriot class 10 SD16GB. To claim class 10 title card should ensure atleast 20MB/s read speeds. I think hero can handle it without problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
M gonna try n push an update today...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slobo2712:
man please try to fix facebook for android app :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
over the past week the market has slowed down like crazy. now it's so slow in the UI as to be almost impossible to use, and also it has started to only rarely actually download and install apps.

any idea on a fix? like would wiping market data in settings->applications help maybe?

aside from that this is still the bloody fastest rom.

sure the sense ui is pretty quick but has occasional slowdowns.

but install a launcher like go launcher and this rom runs it faster than any other rom I've tried so far on the hero.

only fixes that I desperately need are:

- market improvement

- TTS (I'm assuming it doesn't work... woudl be very good to have working)

- facebook app (I'm assuming it doesn't work based on other reports... I'll be needing to install it soon as I start to use other launchers)

this rom actually runs go launcher way faster than ele's custom cm rom, surprisingly enough.

gb sense roms are also the only ones that seem to run WAZE 100% perfectly and reliable, and this rom is one of those that runs it perfectly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
RoseV4

this build should b stable and faster than the others.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Changes? Just wondering :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Just saw the changelog :D Going to download this and use it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
DAMN LMAO LOL I posted a request list and like BAM here's the next major release LMAO you crack me up dude!

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

and for the record, WHOA mediafire completely changed it's UI over night eh?

pros: it's way better.

cons: it doesn't work with installous on the ipad/iphone any more. for those of us who work with ipads, it is a minor suckage since mediafire is way faster than the other installous download options.

oh well... it'll get updated I'm sure (installous for ios jailbroken, I mean).

in the meantime... 1 minute left on rose v4!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Da9L:
Is it faster than V3.6 ? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
He's referring to mediafire UI...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea.... erm, no, it's not. same speed. same basic rom..

if the market could be fixed I'd be really happy, but wow is the market really going downhill fast in this rom. used to be fine for me. strange... flashing this one new after a full wipe and I once again have an almost unusable market. ui of market is unbelievably slow, and actually downloading and installing events seem to go unheeded most of the time.

what happened with the market? any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
i'll redo the market and make a flashable today as i get time,i'll try putting in the old market which seems to work better...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaychou8899:
I think 4.0 is slower than 3.6. And keep stuck with new market. I hate new market :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arranmc182:
What's wrong downloaded this ROM and installed all it does is reboot will try downloading a third time.

P.S. I'm not being stupid you don't need previous version installed do you??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arranmc182:
I dunno what's up still can't get v4.0 installed :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slobo2712:
how to set transparent statusbar like in 3.6 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flashinglights:
You have to edit the smali to allow you to set transparent images. If 3.6 had it just use the systemui.apk from that version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
as flashing said since 3.6 had it just copy the systemui.apk from the /app/system from rose 3.6 to the same in ur phone through root explorer,sorry m a bit a drunk to make sense :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] manfio:
With the Rose V4 the problem is solved :D

Im so happy haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Not as Happy as Bharat is right now I'd imagine. =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Tried it but it's to slow... Don't know why, because i removed some things and the sistem was a little cleaner... To bad, i wanted to keep it for a while...

Stefan:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
sad to say I've switched to sfm using the build at the end of that thread. without configuring sense-based twitter and facebook accounts (just in case they cause issues as can seem to happen in some of these roms at times), I'm using it WITH LAUNCHER PRO and it's amazing. my favorite gb rom at the moment because (a) market works (I froze it where it was with tit back also), and (b) it runs launcher pro really really fast and (c) it runs waze perfectly and (d) it has a great built in dialer, contact app, browser, and so on.

so for me, it's the best gb rom at the moment. with the waze requirement though I may ahve different priorities from some other ppl.

rose also runs waze perfectly... but the market is just broken right now in this rom.

can't wait for the market to get fixed (and retroverted) though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adil.ltit:
i installed 'oldmarket' on this rom, and it works perfect. The 'oldmarket .zip' which i installed was from some other gingerbread rom i had earlier (probably from salsa sense lite version). u may try if u like.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SummonerOfDeath:
6-bar signal strength

@bharat_goku:

i'm on your test build RegawMOD right now, and in the original thread there is a flashable update zip which can also be flashed on GSM (though being from CDMA forums)

well, no big wonder as this just contains a modded framework-res apk which is pushed to /system/app.. simple, but perfectly effective. of course this is only sense 2.1 stuff and wont work on 2.3.3 and the icons on 2.3.3 are a bit more of hi-res, but it should be a start and a clear sign it's possible.

well, not everybody may need or want 6-bar signal strength, but i badly want it and others maybe to, would be a genius feature unique to ur rom :)

i would do it myself but i am quite not used to modding roms and what i would do in 6 hours of work, you can do easily in less than a half ;D

big thanks for the great rom & keep this one up,

SummonerOfDeath
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silentless:
Guys what about battery? Does it drain fast?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Actually I checked on 6signal bar,it is very much there in this rom,but it works only on cdma,just check the systemui.apk fr the files
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
How is that build running ?sd-ext support running right?I haven't gotten any report from any1abt that build so m confused..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
it's running perfectly! a2sd ext is perfect, all of it's really solid. not a single fc (other than the occasional bootup sense "wait" alert, like usual). I'm not running sense fb or tw, no friendstream, buit am running LP plus with it and it's really really nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
I had reboots on it, but the normal SFM I do not have this so that is weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
and yet I have had no reboots in 30 hours of use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] truonghaf4:
i want to ask about battery

v3.6 battery used very bad
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Maybe cuss I am little it does not like me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emilio666:
at 37% afer 1 day 10 hours, since last battery charge. Connected to 3G all the time and using Gmail, twitter, FB, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
@Don.

When using launcher pro, is it still possible to use the sense Widgets?

I did use LP on a sense rom before but can't remember trying that out. Have you stripped any sense stuff out or is it still full fat gb Sense?
