BLASPHEMY!

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

funny thing - I have had ZERO sense FCs. I've had a couple of sense reloads, but not one single FC alert box. used it since yesterday pretty extensively now and it's great.

friendstream app is broken as noted which is annoying as it has extra features not found in the widget, but not a really big deal with the widget being the main feature anyhow :-)

camcorder stability woudl be very nice as I use this regularly. but if it's not possible without causing other issues (or just because nobody knows why it is unstable in the first place), then I understand it may not become 100% stable.

Battery life has practically doubled since I went to LV0.6.2 with gb usb patch and changed to 19-672 speed using SA2. it's a completely different experience now. super smooth and fast still, maybe smoother/faster, but the battery stays almost unused unless I'm on a call or playing a game or using gps.

have to say that using it as a phone eats battery insanely fast, but I think that is a common problem in all roms (right?) and of course i'm overclocking it which probably makes it worse.

I used waze last night for 25 minutes and it was perfect - 100% flawless.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

I haven't tried that for a long time (back in the froyd days it was the big new thing and I tried it and tested it and found it only dropped a couple of seconds from the 45 second boot time or whatever, so basically pointless). But with this rom I can imagine it making a difference possibly because the boot anims in these gb sense roms give me the impression of being pretty heavy.

have you time it both ways a couple of times to see if it makes a significant difference Saj? I'm betting that it might shave off a few seconds in this rom - would sure be nice if it does :-)

The zip is not signed so you can use only clockworkmod recovery,sorry for that,or extract the apk and put it in system/app with Root Explorer or something similar
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elliotn:
thanks I got USB tether to work with ubuntu, I flashed the Las Venturas 0-6-2+USB patch and walla it it works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool!

wait - 0.6.5?

I hope you mean 0.6.2, otherwise I'm 0.0.3 behind! :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dodjob:
Yep just tried, same effect that when I flash a zip made for decked roms. FC and nothing more :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rasmusir:
TL;DR: I'm using 3.6 and when I try to install an app it freezes and restarts. Help is appriciated.:(

This seems like a really nice ROM, but I'm having some wierd problems with it. First I wiped everything and then flashed the 3.6 version. When I first booted it said "Process System have stopped answering." (or something like that) and I could either Force Close or Wait, either worked fine, but the Force close did not do anything visible. It started up normal other than that and everything worked fine, except one thing.

The one thing is that I can't install any application. I first noticed it as I went on Market and looked fpr my "standard" apps I normally get. After the download was complete and the installation process began the phone froze and restarted itself. I tried different kernels but nothing helped. And I tried to install a predownloaded apk (from my sdcard) but no change, it instantly froze and restarted when the installation began.

I have no idea what to do now. Help is really appriciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
1st thing I would try is boot into recovery, do a cache and dalvik wipe, then reboot and try the same apk installs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
the "process system" message is very common in sense roms when they start up. just choose "WAIT" and it will go away and should not come back until your next reboot.

The other question though is a strange problem and I have no troubl einstalling apps on this rom. So I don't know what to suggest.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rasmusir:
I've tried that twice, no change it still freezes and hot restarts. Also, after the restart the Wi-Fi stops working and the mobiledata.

Okey, thanks anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Hi Bharat_Goku,

Please fix the Text To Speech in Rose V3.6

TTS was found working in SFM3.0 and finally also worked in Rose V3.

But with V3.6, it is no longer working.

Without a working TTS, all my gps tracking apps will be less fun without voice guidance or voice feedback.

Also, I couldn't use google maps Navigation as it FC and Sygic failed to launch as well. In the past, I had similar experience as above for the above 2 apps when TTS was not working.

Have to add, GPS is able to get lock quick and fine. Waze was also working when I tested.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RiggerofRiV:
Tested lv 0.6.2 at m178-M691 (smart update) for a day now and get multiple sense reloads and laggy behavior after several hours. went back to original (lv 0.5) and will test it now ;)

BTW: I forgot a little "issue" two days ago. Its possible to select languages like french or german, but it doesn't anything except dictionary. Not a big deal, only want to say.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
of course, WAZE's TTS works perfectly because it uses it's own TTS engine.

Just wanted to point that out :-)

but yes, fixing TTS now that I know it's broken would be kind of important (haven't tried it myself as I use WAZE on this rom)

And by the way, WAZE has so far been 100% stable on this rom! As anyone reading my posts knows, I have found it to be completely broken on most roms and rather unstable on most others. So finding a great leading edge cool rom like this, and then finding that waze runs 100% perfectly on it!?!?!!?, well this rom is my daily driver since you released 3.6 :-)

I've changed my kernel speeds (in filename) to 264-672 and it has been fantastic. m19 made this rom rather slow to respond in many apps that I use, but I don't want the bottom speed to be too high because then it eats battery.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

m178 is too low for this rom. m264 is the lowest that works for me on this rom.

I'm using lv0.6.2 and it's very fast and responsive.

lv 0.5 is no faster, but if you use SA mode in lv 0.5 (which is the default of this rom) then keep in mind that SA governor is imho slightly broken and spends most of it's time in the fastest speeds even when the screen is off. that's why the phone is so responsive with lv 0.5 SA mode. you should use 0.6.2 which fixes a lot of 0.5's bugs and also gives you the much better SA2 governor (fixes the SA bug), and then just make sure your bottom speed is fast enough.

People who have used SA governor with very low m (bottom) speeds will have to increase their lowest frequencies when moving to lv 0.6.2 because the bug in SA governor in lv 0.5 meant that you were most of the time not even hitting that lowest speed when screen was off.

OR something like that. I might have the specific details about the bug wrong, but the end result is the same.

the ideal m (lowest) speed for this rom using SA2 is 352 or 351 or whatever the correct value in that area is. but 264 seems to use a little bit less battery for me, but is a little bit laggier than 352 so I might end up changing back up to that bottom speed sometime.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ya know, I'm back to the bottom cpu speed being 352. it really runs better this way in this rom.

and for battery life I'm not overclocking any longer.

the performance is excellent like this with SA2 and lv 0.6.2

m352M518

I highly recommend these settings.

Based on this info it seems possible that this rom would work really well and save battery if we use ondemand and conservative governors, with screen-on being m352M518 and screen off being m176M518 or something like that.

But there might be issues with music playback like that, or wake up speed.

So for now I'm leaving it on sa2 as I described.

cheers :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Tons of posts... error over error, FC over FC...and stuff like that:))) Seems that for a lot of time all the new roms have problems with market, and the sense ones give errors that it's hard to fix...

Seems that for 2 weeks i can live with the VR 13 rom, that seems to be the best one for the hero when we are talking on the sens roms... I'm not writing this post to say that there are other roms better than this one, but it seems that even if a want to flash a new rom, i better stay chill and use a more stable rom rather than get sense restarts or no working apps...

To bad that this rom has some problems, because i wanted to give it a shot... I will keep in touch with the rom to see if the next version will fix the problems

Have a nice night you all,

Stefan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
where did you get that from?

I'm running this rom without a single FC for 48 hours now. I have some camera instability but recording vids of my kids last night flawlessly even still.

it's faster than most other sense roms.

all of my apps work perfectly on this rom.

I was looking for a way to get even better battery life than stock roms can get (in my previous post)... that's a pretty positive stage to be at for a rom that was never intended to run on the hero. Remember that VR13 is just the stock rom, rooted, with a couple of extra features and a custom kernel. It was basically made for the hero by HTC, where as this rom was never intended for or even expected to run on the hero at all, let alone run faster than VR13 does at times.

"error over err,r fc over fc", maybe in your imagination.

The market's fine. I hate the new market, but that is just how life is - nothing specific to this rom. there is always one user with a problem that is unusual...

how many issues have happened in vr13 since it was released, what, like a year ago... ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mar9118:
Have been using this ROM (V3.6) for 3 days now and am really loving it, fast and with most features working.

Did not encountered any FCs so far, 1st boot or after every reboot ... have to press wait once or twice then everything works well after you let the ROM settle down.

Small things I noticed are Speaker Phone turns on for a moment when answering a call, name and phone number aligned to right side of the screen when making calls and unable to install widgets from HTC Hub.

Thank you very much goku :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junooni:
excellent Rom with fast, stable performance. one and the only issue I'm facing is that my device seems to be stuck in an infinite sync loop. it has been syncing for the past 2 days since I flashed the Rom.

the power widget works with everything except switching the sync and even if I cancel sync from setting>accounts & sync, it comes back in seconds. this is gravely affecting the battery life and I've been charging my phone more than using it.

any help on this please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elliotn:
I like the phone number and name alignment on the right side
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I have none of those issues!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mar9118:
@elliotn

@dkelley

Thank you for your comments on my post, seems not all Hero are built equal :)

btw: updated to v3.6 from previous version, wiped cache and dalvik changed kernel to Las_Venturax-0.6.2-m176-M652 plus USB Tether Fix.

so far the issues mentioned are not that vital for me, so it is still my daily ROM for now :D

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lutchezar:
Confirming all above.

Also market started downloading apps about an hour after pressing "download" all day yeaterday, no restarting or killing tasks helped.

Some acore fc, 2-3 sence reloads, about 40 apps installed.

Internal browser is loading slowly, maybe not enough memory, and it's time to implement adobe flash on our heros. arm6 versions are available for lg and se x8, and some chinese tablets. None of them worked as is on hero although.

looking at ext2 partition, rom uses it, but I have to do moving to sd card because lack of system storage - strange, but not confusing.

edit: lv 0.6.2, maybe should try rolling back to 0.5 and compare.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slobo2712:
does anyone have errors with application Facebook for Android ???:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mar9118:
Thanks, lucky I did not have any problems downloading apps from market.

no fc so far, have only a few apps installed, same here browser also loading

slowly, we have to face the reality that our Hero's ram is just 288mb compare to the 512mb of WilFire and Salsa.

Tried rolling back to LV 0.5 still same issues, LV 0.6.2 seems faster ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Thanks to Prof Peach's recommendation, I am using Opera Mini and had get used to using it by now (double tap to zoom).

I am loving it as it is fast even when use with any 'heavy' ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lutchezar:
I'm thinking about installing old market with android fingerprints from new market - has anyone tried this combination?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rasmusir:
Do yo uhave to have an EXT part on the SD card for this rom to work? Because when I try to install any application it just freezes and does a hot restart.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh, I haven't ever updated. I find most problems come from updating. you can't always do that since frameworks change and this causes FCs and so on.

please always start from scratch. just buy titanium backup and backup all your apps and data, then restore all your apps +data in the new rom version. as long as you're sticking to GB roms then you wont 'have any compatability problems when you restore that way - but never restore "system" stuff, only apps+data.

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

heros ran flash when they were running stock firmware. flash lite, which is the best you can ever get for the hero, but they do run it. if you want that, flash a sense 2.1 rom. those are the only ones that are compatible with flash lite on the hero.

arm6 isn't the only limitation of the hero - we also have almost nothign in the way of gpu features so pretty well all flash players will blow up on our hardware even if they run on the cpu itself.

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

none of those issues for me - ext2 is used correctly automatically. lv 0.6.2

did you do an upgrade of this rom version or did you flash it clean like I did?

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

+1. only use default browser if it works well. it does in some roms, others it doesn't. opera mini is great but I hate the startup screen it always shows... still the app is outstanding.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
This ROM is very fast indeed but I can't seem to revert to old market (fc on loading featured apps), only 2 hot restarts (when I was fiddling with system :) ), no issues with HTC hub and before I started messing with market, apps downloaded and installed fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea, old market seems to be incompatible at this time - dont' try it :-)

I have a suggestion to those experiencing issues:

- if you flashed OVER an old version without a full wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik) then please start over again with a full wipe.

- after booting up, go into system->applications->all->HTCSense (there are TWO of these, different icons though, so do this to BOTH of these instances).. and hit clear data or clear cache or anything related to clearing stuff (other than delete, obviously).

Reboot.

This steps are what I did with this rom and could be the difference in why it's great for me and not so hot for some other people.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Thats the advice I would give.

I use Launcher Pro Plus which allows me to backup my homescreen settings, along with Titanium Backup to re-install all the apps I want, generally without data as thats caused an issue or 2 (with the exception of email.... I restore data too to save me setting up accounts again)

For the time it takes to enter passwords again, I prefer not to restore with data.

I'm not saying thats the best way to do things..... but I seem to have less issues than other rom test pilots.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
by the way - only real complaint so far for me is that it EATS battery when on a voice call. like it goes down so fast it's crazy. rest of the time it's quite reasonable.

anyone else have that or is my battery just getting old? I've tried recalibrating because I know for a fact it was way off, but it hasn't helped with the voice call battery eating effect.

for all I know this might be true for me in other roms but I dont' want to swap right now because this is working so well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Never really noticed the battery use in calls as I only have this on a few hous ata time between Decked for life and anything I'm testing.

Will leave it on and see how it goes.

Does Rose have the option to keep the screen awake longer during calls?.... cos that'll eat power. Any in call vibration settings that you can lose?

I have never change the radio from stock but would another radio version help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lutchezar:
@dkelley

Clean install, in fact i've got no problems with ext2 partition, just wondering why are some apps still installing in phone memory, but "move to SD card" solves my problem.

I love this rom and i'm staying with it until some really big problem occurs, none for now :-)

Haven't try TTS yet, not needed, no travelling soon, so i'm not using any navigation :-)

QUESTION: is there any way locking the screen during call? I'm tired of Muting, Speaker-On and most of "Ending Calls" with my ear, i usualy talk while in move, so my screen is too much sensitive :)

And about the market - http://chall32.blogspot.com/2010/06/android-market-fingerprints-demystified.html here is some old info about how applications are tied to phones and market versions. And on Elelinux ROM there are downloadable sets of fingerprints because of the market app compability - so probably flashable package with older market + new market hero fingerprints will solve slow-market-annoyance....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I always forget how quick this rom is till I give it a whirl again. Amazed that the slate skin makes such a difference. I never thought I would try a sense rom and consider it as my daily.

Anyone fancy stripping out all the Hub and sociable networky rubbish seeing as I dont have any friends. I bet it would fly without all that balast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elliotn:
the camera takes good shots but it freezes now and then
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Looks like after performing this step, I had not seen the 'application HTC Sense not responding' message till now, so far so good.

-------------------------

This v3.6 is almost complete now...except for the TTS that I had complained of not working.

As I am not sure if there is going to be another release any sooner, I had tried myself to push PicoTTS.apk and TTS Service.apk from Rose v3 (this one had working TTS) to v3.6 via root explorer but without success.

I had also downloaded an alternative SVOX Text To Speech with a Voice Data and also Speech Synthesis Voice Data, but again without much success.

Anyone any suggestion on how to get TTS to work?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
i've attached the fixed lib files which should be replaced in /system/lib using root explorer..... its a rar file NOT a flashable so jus extract both the files into /system/lib and reboot tts should be fixed..... and dont replace the apk files u might just land up wit a lotta force closes....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
TTS is working!

Had tested TTS is working fine now with sports tracker and google navigation.

Sygic still not working..can't launch but could be the problem elsewhere or with the app (also not working on v3 previously), but I can live without this app..

So, I'm very happy now..my Hero has finally found a speedy, stable AOSP GB ROM in Deck as well as a Sense GB ROM in Rose V3.6 :D

Thank you Bharat_Goku!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oeljaml:
I used a patch to add RTL & Arabic language. This patch modifies framework.jar & libandroid_runtime.so, and add a file libicuuc-arabic.so the patch works fine but & the Arabic with RTL works great BUT there are one or two problems, the problems are:

at hero startup:

1-Process system is not responding << Click wait and it works

2-Google services framework (process com.google.process.gapps) FC << Force close twice and it works

after the rom boots:

1- music player works great except for those songs with Arabic title the phone freezes and then reboot

2- if I got a notification with Arabic the status bar (process com.google.process.systemui) FC and then disappear until I reboot the hero

Could u plz help me in this problem, your rom is very great but I can't use Arabic

I attached the patched libs and the framework that is used for patching
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] achak:
Thank you bharat_goku for this amazing port. After a long time with AOSP roms i retrieved finaly the good sensation os sense rom .

The speed for me is very good with the ooriginal kernel. I don't know if it's better to install the LV0.62 kernel for fear that I lose stability.

And thanks to Don for his trick about the Sense Widgets, it worked good for me.

However, i think there is some points that must be improved:

Language support it's partial. I set French language and i have only the keybord not all the titles and menu.

Support of RTL. Arabic letters appear but not chained as it should be.

Camera stability should be improved specially when previewing shoots

Sometimes the speakerphone is at max when i accept a call

The caller name and number it's not centered when i receive a call

The zoom slider don't work when we are shooting with camera

Some glitch or surimposed letters, in notification (date stamp) or in the unlock menu

Overall, it's very good rom, best than 2.1 sense rom, stable, speedy and beautiful. If you can improve thes points i think it will be the better rom for our hero.

All my respect
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] truonghaf4:
this rom is very good

this fast and stable

but i wait for update about battery and speed

battery life about 2/3 day:(

srr my english

thanks for this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lirasina:
1. This was done by they WildHeroc theme to get more space in the ROM. So that is is speedier.

2. Guess this goes the same as above.

3. Keep in mind that the camera works with a dirty hack. So be happy that it actually works. And I must say for myself. I think it works fine for the cam that is in the Hero.

4. Known problem. I never had this but then I never saw someone complain about it to me.. Maybe I had it. Will never know :O deaf so.. XD

5. Never noticed this. I always get them on the lockscreen.

6. Same as 3.

7. Never noticed this.

I do not know if the OP can do improve those things. But I think SFM has full language support and a cam zoom working. Don't know but you may want to check that one out :D.
