I tried to move Facebook.apk to system partition, many times I wiped data, I used HtcFacebook.apk from Wildfire S but without success.

So I think that all issues with authorization and FCs was caused by the new version of FB. In Facebook fix package I included Facebook.apk from SFM 1.2. I decided to move Facebook.apk to system partition to avoid any other problems. After signing in when Facebook shows window with information about authorization sometimes after clicking OK the information appears again. You must click OK until it gone.

Did you install Facebook fix?

Go to Settings, Accounts & sync, remove Facebook account and add it again.

I got that from time to time as well :P

Back onto running this and even got an app that works on this rom that helps me with my deaf part of myself :P I can call now and I can understand, most of the times what the person says. The hospital my mom works made it. so that is handy. Normally it was for Iphone but some smart guy ported it to Android. So I am a happy girl. Tried the app on some other roms but somehow it only worked here. maybe cuss the guy who made it got a sense GB phone XD

Who knows XD

Again, Think I already said it. Thanks again for this rom SebastianFM :D

Maybe I can even try that one out, Not that I can understand it. but I can make a patch for it. if it works. But I do not know about that. :P

I will do that tomorow if I have some spare time. No promisses though that I will up it tomorow :D

But now NN for me XD 2.20 AM is late enough... Before my mom goes all nuts on me :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
flash the rom then flash his facebook fix. that's what the facebook fix is for - to solve issues with accounts not working right, including with friendstream.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lutchezar:
Flashing third time with full wipe, last time flashing rom, update and facebook fix before first boot - the same situation, removing account and adding it didn't help...

will flash FB fix again after battery charges a little:-)

Contacts, livefeed and calendar always fail syncing.

EDIT: The same - Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. That's inside accounts FB sync. Will try FB app and FS Widget, after that FB Widget.

EDIT 2: FB APP working

EDIT 3: FS Widget working !!!!, FB Widget working.

Maybe the reason is confiming Salsa Login - about 7-8 times until now.

EDIT 4: FB contacts sync OK

Maybe flashing FB fix before first boot was not good idea too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangiseng:
I can't use Titanium backup in this ROM. It said that the ROM is not rooted and have no busybox. I have flashed the superuser in the first post. Well, actually I can download all applications I used, but I am just too lazy to do that.

Well, I am not a programmer, so I may be able to get application to do the root and busybox. I will do the search tomorrow.

The ROM is ok. Facebook and Twitter is working, as well as the Facebook sync and Friendstream. The weather app is working with full animation and sound effect. The USB Tether is working well. Actually this is much improvement compared to Salsa Sense 4.0.

Btw, I think when I turned off the phone, it didn't really turn off. It just sleep. So, when I press the home and power button to go to recovery mode, it skipped the Hero boot animation, and in about 10-15 seconds, it showed the lockscreen, without the status bar, which appeared shortly. I don't know if this is a bug or the new way GB works.

Anyway, it seems the key backlight worked for me.

Since I have little spare time tonight, I just return to Salsa Sense for now. If you can root the ROM and add the busybox, I will return to this ROM. I am just fall in love with Sense after used AOSP for almost a year. LOL.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Superuser from OP is binary only, you have to download the app from market to have root. About the boot issue you're right, it is a feature on GB Sense called fast boot, you can turn it off in Settings -> Power. By backlight i think Sebastian means the trackball, at least mine isn't lighting up for notifications and phone ring (don't really care i always craved for it to light up like all other buttons). By the way using this from day 1 only 1 Sense reload (when i applied an 8Mb image as wallpaper).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangiseng:
Thanks for your explanation :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serguma:
Can we modify the quick settings tab so auto-rotate or silence can be changed?

Ah, and is there any way to change between songs with sound buttons as in CM-based roms?

Thanks, working quite well so far!

Edit: After using it a bit more I've noticed that services such as the sms app or whatsapp (among others) keep closing and reloading. That prevents me from getting notifications (or they fade very fast), and I am afraid I could lose messages or not notice them, any fix? What can I do in order to avoid that? (Free ram is around 40MB or so).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dann26:
SMS/MMS

Hi there.

First this is a nice Sense ROM that works pretty well in most aspects.

Anyway there are some issues regarding

- speaker phone when you answer a call

- mms/sms (i don't know if anyone else noticed; I didn't receive any sms since installing the rom; if you check adb shell "ps -p | grep mms" there is no com.android.mms app runing) maybe some dev can change them oom_adj default value for mms apps as it seems to be killed a few seconds after you exit the app.

- cannot add some big widgets to screen (clock, agenda).

- HTCHub can be used partially (depending on your luck you can install some stuff).

The first two

mms

+

speaker phone

are the most annoying.

You don't want all the people on you commute to stare at you every time you answer your phone.

Can anyone fix those two issues?

Thanks all who contributed to this rom. Keep it going.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
in a similar (and slightly more stable and bug-free) rom called Rose 3.6, I've discovered that if you go into settings->applications->all->HTC Sense (both of them) and clear data, it solves my ability to add large widgets to the screens. it DOES forget your custom home screen config though, keep that in mind. But it's worth it if it solves your problems with adding widgets.

I wasn't aware of the MMS issue but I did have to stop using this rom due to the speakerphone issue. Rose has suddenly moved into the lead as the best gingerbread sense rom for the hero, with a few small bugs but nothing significant like what you've encountered.

Although I'm not sure about texting in that rom since I never text - hopefully it works but I can't make any claims that it actually does.

This SFM rom is pretty amazing though so I hope it's 2 or 3 main bugs (at least speakerphone and texting capability) can be fixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
According to here

http://myhtcdesire.com/tutorials/fi...ess-com-htc-launcher-has-stopped-unexpectedly

by performing the above mentioned action may also helps to fix the 'process htc sense not responding - FC or Wait' error message. Not sure if this will really work though...:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
the steps in that tutorial are also how I suggested users fix issues when trying to add sense widgets - sometimes they don't appear in these gb sense roms unless you clear HTC Sense data from settings->applications->all->htcsense (there are two htc sense apps, I clear both due to lack of certainty - and it works).

not sure if that may be why I also have no FCs - I did that fix shortly after flashing Rose and have had no FCs at all. probalby same result wtih this SFM rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] boonwuilow:
What is the best kernal for this rom...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
what kernel does it come with?

most of these gb sense roms have broken wifi or other issues when using fly kernel, so most of them use LV 0.6.2 or LV 0.5.

if it currently uses LV 0.5 then I would recommend flashing LV 0.6.2 over top of that, but then of course you need to configure your default speeds by editing the kernel's filename or by installing setcpu to control it.

If you're not sure then probably the default kernel and it's default settings are going to be pretty intelligent choices... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SebastianFM:
I posted update with correct lowmemorykiller settings. It eliminates issues with receiving messages and notifications on Magic, should work on Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serguma:
Thanks, will try it, could you look into improving the quick settings from the notification bar :)?

Edit: By the way, you left some quotation marks in the link, so it doesn't work as it is :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool! well done :-)

I will be very interested to try this out with the new update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks. But update2 link not working :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serguma:
Remove the quotation marks at the end of the link and it should work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangiseng:
Btw, I just need to flash the update 2 file, right?

Or should I do full wipe first?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Just flash with update 2, and maybe a dalvic wipe. if it doesnt go right.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Getting several Sense reloads since I've up flashed update 2 (dalvik and cache wipes), reverted to my backup of update 1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serguma:
Happened to me too, just wipe your sense data in the application manager.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SebastianFM:
I see that Hero requires different lowmemorykiller settings than Magic due to different kernel. I uploaded again changed update 2, Sense is still locked in memory, now everything should be OK.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
thank you for your continued hard work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks SebastianFM!

Wonder what magic have you applied to update 2? Just lowmemorykiller settings?

Now using this ROM. The sense fc that had kept haunted me from using this ROM had surprisingly disappeared :confused:

Now..if only this SFM3.0 has apps2SD and can be a little more speedy..that would be perfect ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
First: Thank you very much for your work! Really appreciate that there is still some progress in developing roms for our Hero :)

Installed your rom yesterday for the first time and have two issues:

- no root anymore :(

- a lot of times I receive those "com.android.com" or "system" is not responding messages -any suggestions?

Thank you,

Tom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
From OP

<Superuser installation

I've tested the newest Superuser and it is working fine. Installation is very simple. First download Superuser 3.0.3 binary only and install from recovery, then download Superuser application from Android Market.>

if you have not done the above step, then you may lose your root

"process system" not responding message atm cannot be avoided, just select "wait".

Try flash update 2 also, hopefully this should solve "HTC Sense Launcher not responding" message.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Just an idea. if you grap the init.d file for a2sd from Elelinux 7.1 and smash it in here. wont that work? Just my tired mind talking here. Got no idea though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks for the idea.

Not sure if it's that simple as that...but I may try

:D

May also look into how VR13 did it with a flashable zip.

_____________________

oh ****...HTC sense not responding message just pop up now after a long absent :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] socratesig:
I tried this before with no success. I've read, I don't remember where, that if the ROM doestn't have the path "/system/etc/init.d", there is no chance to make it run. And that's the case with this ROM.

In others ROMs where init.d existed, I could flash the APP2SDExt script successfully. In the erasmux' thread about Floyo http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784689 you can find a flashable option under the title "App2SD and Compcache for official CM (Floyo already includes it)", that I applied to one GB ROM, as I mentioned before.

Hope this can help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
After flashing the Update 2 yesterday, I thought the update had solved the sense fc on my phone as the message didn't show up anymore.. until today..and it's showing up plenty of times already..and most of the time was when I was doing the simple task of unlocked phone from sleep :(

As such, shall not be trying anything else unless it is a solution to my problem with this sense fc.

This sense fc has now started haunted me once again and is showing up numerous times on both this SFM ROM as well as Rose v3.6 ROM, despite after having cleared HTC Sense data, where some users had reported with success but as it turned out, not working for me. :confused:

Perhaps, GB Sense is really too heavy on my hardware :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
it's much more likely that there is something bad being installed (unintentionally of course). some type of misconfiguration or an app that just doesn't run properly on gb sense on our phones.

for what it's worth, due to earlier issues I encountered with the facebook app I've never installed the official facebook app on my rose install and haven't had a single fc since.

just as an example - not saying that either the facebook app is a problem for other people or that it's the only app that could have this type of effect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks. Have not given up on GB Sense yet.

Had gone thru another round of clearing HTC Sense Data. This time round, I uninstalled Whatsapp and few more other apps. The internal memory size has now increased to around 40MB from a low 10MB plus previously.

Still hoping to find out using this ROM on my phone, what could be killing the sense launcher constantly. I remember not too long back, this launcher not responding thing was also happening quite frequently on GB non Sense ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kenleong:
This Facebook app is only v1.5.4. Will it update itself to 1.7.4?

It's not possible to uninstall n install new version from market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangiseng:
I just updated manually from the Market. And it works without problem until now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kenleong:
gb sense for hero is just waayyyyy to heavy to use. there's lag everywhere. Now i turned back to Deck up life rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
NOT in rose 3.6.

it's almost as fast as ele's current gb cm rom imho.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:

added init.d support

added apps2sd

this is just my custom build for people who wanted apps2sd

not done a great deal of tweaking to it but it is a little faster......

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] socratesig:
I have seen you used 23sdcardspeedfix script to tweak the sd card, with a value for read_ahead_kb of 3072. I think for most of people is better 2048 ( the default is 128 ). Have you really checked that 3072 is better than 2048 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kemot320:
I need help... Searched this thread but found nothing.

I've flashed this rom together with updates but forgot about installing superuser zip. Now I can't get into recovery to do that. Holding power together with home button doesn't work. How should I get into recovery now?

Okay, found solution. Tricky the phone doesn't turn off until you take the battery out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
go to settings>power> and uncheck fastboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kemot320:
Oh, thanks!

I don't know whether it has been reported yet, but sometimes sms noifications seem not to appear.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
thats a bug cos of the memory killer should b fixed in update2 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kemot320:
So should I try to install update 2 again? Or you mean in the next update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
I saw what don said so then I had the crazy idea to create a rom based on this one. With no HTC Sense thingies in it. and well it is booting now :D so I wonder how it turns out :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
this is what we used to call a "stripped sense" rom. sense libs etc, sense dialer, sense phone app, sense browser, sense contacts, sense contact linking.... but no sense launcher or sense widgets or sense weather and so on.

If you could do that and use launcher pro or similar, that could be the best rom around. My favorite sense rom other than VE 4/6 (not 5, 5 wasn't too great), was a stripped 2.1 sense rom (by a guy named feeyo... yes, it's true). that thing was super fast, super stable, very light, great dialer and other core features, but with a nice launcher it bested the other roms of it's time.

do that with SFM and we'll have a killer GB rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
Already done it. not the one that Goku made cuss that one had to much crap added, again no pun intended. But I like clean and I do not use A2SD XD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's fine - a2sd can be added by someone if need be, get the rom running first :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] htcpato:
app2sd can be installed on this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tierra:

I lost my root. How do I get root access back?

I followed instructions as stated but Titanium back-up and SU tell me that they cannot get root access.

How do I fix this without removing the rom and installing another rom (I still have access to Amon Ra recovery).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicky9door:
Try using the Superuser zip in the Floyo 1.3.0 (by Lirasina) thread. Just download it and flash it in recovery

i did FIX PERMISSIONs and Wiped Dalvik cahe and battery stats ..

I also did use Set_to_default_1.2GHz_Sensation.zip and it also didnt work

so please if anyone have any solution ..inform me asap

AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSED THIS PROBLEM
[HTC Sensation] dszilke:
This happened to me. I didn't follow every step to getting permanent root in the correct order. Luckily, I did the nandroid back-up, and restored the back up, then went back to s-on and started over.

Everything I read says if you have s-off, it is an installation of the rom issue, like installing an incremental update instead of a full rom.

Hope that helps.
[HTC Sensation] crazybikeperson:
When I had this problem, it turned out to be caused by my trying to use Titanium Backup to restore backups of Sense-related apps.
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
boot loop

It isn't as bad as you think I had a boot loop and its a easy fix step one boot into recovery and don't back up anything do a wipe and clear out your cache and battery stats and flash the rom oh by the way don't flash any kernel's yet use the one that is included in the ROM that should get you going and the reason your haveing this problem is because you didnt follow directions and you should flash the rom as it is intended because most roms are optimized to operate with certain kernels and stop taking short cuts or you will end up with a paper wait good luck and follow the step-by-step instructions and you will have a very nice sensation 4g souped that is
