All I see is people who start *****ing and fanboying without even reading what I actually said.

I never said I didn't want a copyright in the app, I think it should be in there, even more pronounced, but pronounced right, instead of in such an ugly half assed way.

Since when is it wrong to demand perfection to be actually perfect?

Why is it ok to allow someone to design a beautiful app and be ok with him putting an ugly copyright notice into it, its obvious he knows how to make something look RIGHT, then why make the copyright notice so WRONG?

The way its done now ruins the look, even if its ever so shortly.

And jez83uk, I'm not pissy about the app really, I am however pissy about the idiots in this thread replying premade fanboy comments without reading what the **** I said.

I have an opinion about this app and I will express said opinion.

As Voltair said so beautifully, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
[General Topics] leepriestenator:
Guys calm down. Why does everyone have to get so protective all the time?

I understand A_C's reason to put it there, but the OP and others who hate the scrolling line are right. For something as beautifully made as S2U2, that scrolling line is an eye-sore, even if it's there for half a second.

Can you let it go? of course... but a place like XDA has never been about half assing anything. We look for the best and we look for perfection in everything. That's just how the community as a whole is and that's what makes us so damn good.

I really hope A_C revamps that. I'm sure nobody would mind any kind of copyright markings as long as they compliment the rest of software (which obviously has had a lot of time and thought put into designing the way it looks)

Even a fullscreen logo for 5 seconds upon initial run wouldn't bother most people as much as that scrolling line does.

A_C if you are reading... something more graphical would probably be best.

Cheers

Freeware isn't free

i agree , that text looks horrible on my old tft display

and why are you guys defending like crazy the branding on this app, by that logic you shouldn't have to use pirate software :p

Hey, I have a of course "hacked" g1. I was living in another state that had T-Mobile service and recently moved to an area completely gray on their service map, and had my service disconnected. My phone can still roam off at&t towers, funny thing is, with service deactivated I can still access the internet, chat on IM programs, check my gmail. Is this a common occurence?

I just find it odd that I can do all of these things without a paid service.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaboswell:
Im on FlexPay and I didnt pay last months bill because I didnt have any money from my job....and still havent paid this month....and well I still have internet access via Edge and 3G.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsgladwin85:
So at least I know I'm not the only one. Rather interesting to say the least. Anyone know why this might be happening?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
I don't know about T-Mobile, but I did a few years with Nextel (pre Sprint). I think the billing systems are similar though (It's provided to the carrier as a package from a software provider). Anyway..

The billing system is completely separate from the systems that your phone actually talks to. Changes are made in the billing system (such as cancellation, suspension of service). A message is sent over to the other systems, and you get a response back - Complete, Pending, Error .. etc. An error would supposedly get flagged for technicians to handle, but not always.. We sometimes would have customers calling in after weeks to find out why something hadn't been added or removed, and it would be because of an old error in the provisioning. Very possible that something similar has happened to you guys. May last months, may go away in 5 more min.. No way to tell.

Wow, that wound up longer than I expected. Sorry.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Ok, I've been trying out a lot of Hero ROMS and I'm always disappointed in the speed, or lack thereof. Each time I have found myself flashing back to a stable Hero build and then customizing it to my liking (see below). This release is mainly for my own sanity, to save myself the time and effort of getting back to a setup I prefer.

For clarification purposes, I will be referring to these builds as PhotonMod_Hero1 and PhotonMod_Hero1.5

Just understand that v1 is based on LeakDroid's SuperHero3 build and v1.5 is based on JACHero 2.63.

:-)

**UPDATE 7/15/09**

As requested, Re-upped PhotonMod_Hero v1 without the Asian IME (pinyinIME.apk). Just be sure to choose English on the first screen of the setup wizard.

PhotonMod_Hero v1:http://www.mediafire.com/?l3inmmtmjzz

NOTE: If you have random Asian characters showing up in odd places, power off the phone and turn it back on. This seems to only happen before the first reboot.

(Reminder, this one does not use AppsToSD. It is basically SuperHeroV3-MAS minus Rosie and all HTC widgets. Also minus swap. and with a few other teaks.)

Also,

Here is "Lite" version of PhotonMod_Hero1.5. I removed the Weather app and widget, and Retro Clock widget.

PhotonMod_Hero v1.5:http://www.mediafire.com/?nyhyfzzyiom

****UPDATE 7/14/09****

Bluetooth is NOT working in any Hero build at this time

New Build release: PhotonMod_Hero v1.5 - Lite

Based on JACHero2.63 with the following changes:

**Changelog - PhotonMod_Hero1.5 - Lite**

-Removed ALL HTC Widgets

-Replaced HTCCamera with one that works (No sideways image)

-Replaced HtcMusic with old Music app from non-Hero builds (b/c that one is a resource hog!)

-Replaced Rosie with standard Launcher

-Removed Teeter.apk/odex, Stocks.apk/odex, DCS_Stocks.apk/odex

-Removed (commented) Swap partition section in a2sd.sh as I want to try this build out without a Swap partition.

-Added section in a2sd.sh to move a "wallpaper" folder to the FAT32 partition on your SD. That folder contains the wallpapers from the Rosie wallpaper gallery (See Below)

-Added AppsInstaller

-Added Custom Lock Screen

-Added a few "Gems" to the Ringtones/Notifications

To use AppsToSD, make sure you have your SD card setup with Fat32/Ext3 partitions. You will not need a third Linux-Swap partion with this build.

To use new Wallpapers, at the Home screen, press Menu -> Wallpaper. Then choose Albums. You should see a wallpaper folder containing 5 wallpapers.

Thanks to JesusFreke, Haykuro, JAC, Cyanogen, L3wish and the Leakdroid crew, Meltus, and all the other great Devs working to give us the experience we want from our phones.

Rename to update.zip and flash as usual.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
you really need to try jac 2.63 with a freshly formatted card and a linux/swap partition. its quite a thrill
[G1 Android Development] Jocutz1987:
Can u put some pics
[G1 Android Development] jay22are:
might give this a try on my other g1...just for fun
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
i want som pics plzzz !!! and some comments of the one who flashed this .
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Fully Functional?

As in Bluetooth working?
[G1 Android Development] theslam08:
Why in the world do you need pics...its hero, duh.

And I have to agree, even 2.63 is quite slow (swapper and a2sd)...I might have to try this one out (though I heard SHv3 had many things not working...).

Thanks for the contribution anyway :D.

@Shaquiel Harris, NO BT works as of yet. JAC is getting close I guess but NO HERO BUILD HAS BT YET!
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Working on taking some screenies for you guys...

be posting in a few...
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
hmm seems interesting.

wonder how this one works.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Screenshots...

See Attached

Here you see I have changed the background to one I liked from another build. I also have installed the Retro Clock widget, Weather Channel widget, and a few apps (AndroZip, Last.fm, and I really can't remember which else). Right now I currently have about 10MB free (not running apps from SD)
[G1 Android Development] spiderman_anhvu:
I don't see the bluetooth is working? What do you mean "fully functional"? is the led work, too !?
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Ok, I just tried Bluetooth for the first time and it does not turn on. This was my mistake. I do not use it and did not ever try it. I may grab JACHero latest build and mod it the same way (if bluetooth does work in that build) if anyone really wants it. Personally, I never needed it.

As for the LED, as with most Hero builds currently out, the LED does not work. If someone can point to one that does, let me know.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
not feeling the "ophone" icons.

but everything else seems legit.

but really isn't fully "functional" due to the fact there is no "rosie" which makes up pretty much the entire experience of "Hero" but good job regardless!
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
This is true, but every time I try to use Rosie I definitely do NOT have a fully functional phone.

I suppose I should say Fully Usable (once I get BT working anyway)

:)
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
lol forsure good luck on it i know its tough :confused:
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
Is the notification sms on the icon ? i mean when you receive one sms it puts a 1 in the icon, is it ?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Well why would he say fully functional when indeed it isnt?:p and 2.63 is slow for you because your using swapper. Your supposed to make a linux swap partition and have a fat 32/ext2/3 and linux swap. 2.63 is the fastest and most reliable rom that has been made so far :D And well this is the rom i will stay with. I dont need bluetooth because well i dont use it :D kinda want LED's Though But besides that.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
No,

and I can't say I've notice that on other builds I've tried. Is there somewhere you've see that? It may be part of the new MMS app (which many people are having reliability issues / not getting messages)
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
I have updated my original post that BT is not working. As for speed of JACHero 2.63, I'll give it a whirl now that I can easily get back to this ROM.

But I've heard "Really Fast" about a lot of ROMS running Rosie/SensUI, and have not yet been convinced by any of those claims.

:)
[G1 Android Development] c2tmdsn:
hmm if its faster than 2.63 i'll def try it out

I don't care for rosie that much
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Best Rosie Rom out. Phenomenal work.:eek:
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
My question is i know you took out the HTC, would it be possible to put the Text/Calendar one back on my self n still work or need Rosie for them?
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
All i want is notification over the icon i mean the SMS icon saying 1 when i got 1 SMS, and that with Mails and others, and SMS Widget .
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
Thats what I'm saying ill go no Rosie but i just need the SMS/Calendar Widget
[G1 Android Development] bildo:
i agree

I agree it is a thrill
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlXqtg1EoMQ here is a video of jachero 2.6 running with a 32mb swap and no overclock. as you can see it is rather fast and definitelly usable.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
As of now, you must be running Rosie to use the HTC widgets.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Definitely not bad. I'll give it a shot. And I might just make a stripped-down, Rosie-less version of that one if everything is working well.

Does anybody have any concrete evidence on how long the SD card will last running a Swap partition? I really don't want to have to buy a new one every few months. ;)
[G1 Android Development] goldenarmZ:
I don't really understand the point in running a hero rom without rosie or the widgets.. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
Just my thoughts!!!!. Lol, Hero is Rosie AND the HTC widgets. Plus you pushed back old apps and a regular launcher, with all that, you might as well run an ion build, toss some extra things on it (like a ported mms with htc frameworks), and you have the advantage that all (bluetooth, etc) works!....

I just don't understand these Rosieless roms, isn't that basically what the rogers rom is?
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
I actually ran a Rogers ROM for quite some time and loved it. The ONLY thing that makes me want to run a "Hero" is the Social Networking integration. I love going to my contact lists and seeing their Facebook updates right there. Also the Flickr and Twitter integration is a MUST for me.

The only "old" apps I pushed back were the MMS and Camera, b/c the newer ones just don't work. Oh, and the Music, because the newer one uses so much resources that every 30-45 seconds the audio would start to skip and stutter. Plus, I like to be able to have the music running in the background and still send an MMS or do other things without the phone being incredibly slow.

:-)

Oh and the ION does not support Exchange. That's why I was running Rogers.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Well, as promised, I have give the latest JACHero build a test drive. I have to admit it is far and away the fasted Hero build I have played with using Rosie. I suppose it's a combination of using an actual linux-swap partition and the optimizations done by JAC and Drizzy.

Whatever the reason, it seems to be doing great. Of course there is still no working BT on any Hero build, but otherwise this does seem to be a great build. I have only played with it for a few minutes, but I will post further findings down the road. I'm still not sold on the Rosie interface, so I may release a stripped down version of this build (especially if there is any interest from others). I'm also still not sold on running a swap partition on SD. I'll need to see how long the card actually lasts before I have to replace it.

What are people seeing with the battery life in this build? With my modified SuperHerov3, I was able to listed to music for 3 or so hours steady and still have about 80% battery remaining.
[G1 Android Development] bouyark:
Very good start

First of all, thank you for this build. I like clean, stable and functionality in a customized rom.

I am currently running Cyanogen 3.6.5. rom apps2sd. It is by far the most stable, fastest and fuctionable non hero rom I have used.

I decided to give your rom a test drive and found it to be a very good start. I do not have a lot of application installed, thus this is perfect to me. Below are the pros and cons I have found thus far.

Pros:

1) Fuctional (Fast and stable for the most part)

2) All my applications work

3) Love the double tap in the browser for zooimg, as well as the bookmark displays and windows.

4) Battery life is as good and maybe better than my experience with Cyanogen 3.6.5.

Cons:

1) As mentioned in your first post, Bluetooth and LED not working. I consider these more imprtant than the other cons here.

2) Forceclose in a few areas; (weather icon, personalize/scenes/home wallpaper)

3) delay in opening calender

I used bluetooth a lot to listen to podcast during my commute to and from work. I must say that I miss it a lot. I went back to wired headset for now. Can't wait for your next release addressing these issues. Once again., thank you.
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
Thank You, may still try this but do we know if not using Rosie means getting all our texts? Because that fix still doesn't work as im still not getting all my texts...
[G1 Android Development] c2tmdsn:
so is there a noticable difference between this without rosie and JACHero w/Rosie?
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
I'm not sure where I read it (possibly one of JAC's posts, but apparently the thought is that it is the newer Mms.apk that is causing the loss messages. That's why this build uses an earlier one.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Thanks for the input. I appreciate hearing how it's working for everyone. As for the #2 con you listed, that setting is part of Rosie, so with any build without Rosie, you will get that force-close.
[G1 Android Development] damn pixie:
I dunno... for me, the widgets and facebook sync are what make the Hero build so important. Is Rosie more than just the cool nav interface? Or is that it? EDIT: Okay, as photonmedia points out in the post above, a lot of cooler settings are associated with Rosie...

Okay, so I understand that apps can be ported in. How easy would it be to create a contacts prog with social networking integration? It seems really cool that the introduction of Hero seems to be less about the entire build and more about what can be substituted or created for an Android device. With that being said, Thanks for this superhero build - I will definitely have to check this one out.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Well

It's not so much a Hero thing. With all builds, you can substitute one app for another. For example, If someone was to write an app designed for a non-hero build which integrated social networking, it could be added to that non-hero build. I am no programmer, and that's not something I am able to do...yet. I have to say that if the Rogers ROMs had the features of the Hero builds (Facebook, Twitter, Flickr) then I woudl have stuck with it.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I have been using linux-swap on my jacHEROski builds for several weeks now and straight trying kill my sdcard and it works fine. Not a darn thing wrong with it.
[G1 Android Development] j2kquest:
this rom seems like a good idea, but..............................

What i find works with any of jachero builds, is if you put the launcher.apk and the launcher.odex onto your sd card.....install..............And choose home as the default launcher instead of touch flo, you have a super frikkin fast cyanogenized hero build without rosie.

dont care much about the widgets but, the social networking interface is a must

havent had any SMS/MMS problems since installing launcher....theres a thread about hero without rosie..the apk and odex files are in that thread.....

good luck anyway on your build
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Yes, I have been that route. I agree it works very well. But as stated in the first post, this is more for my sanity. There are several apps I like and several I don't. Also if I'm not going to use Rosie, why have all the widgets taking up space. That's what this build is all about.

;)
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
Oh no im getting alot more of what i used to even would get like 3-4 in at same time no problems. Just once in a while nothing will come through. Like now constant texts coming even 2 at a time getting them all... then when it gets "slower" will miss one or two... haha
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
JACHero experience update

Well, I have been running JACHero 2.63 for most of the day now. As I noted in an earlier post, it is by far the fastest "Rosie" ROM I've experienced. But as I was driving home and had music playing in my car I noticed it still skips, stutters, and stammers quite often. (Very embarrassing when I'm rocking out to my favorite song and the sound stops for a second) :)

While the music was playing, I hit the Home button and got the dreaded "HTC" screen for about 7 seconds and then the "Loading..." screen for another 20 seconds before the Home screen displayed. Not Good. (and yes, I'm using the recommended 32MB Linux-Swap partition)

Then, for ****s n giggles, while music was playing, I called myself from my work phone. The music paused after it rang once, but it took a solid 5 rings before the Call Notification screen popped up and the ringtone started.

This is just not something I consider "usable" but that's just my $0.02.

;)

However, if you are looking for the Rosie experience, I would surely recommend JACHero 2.63 over any other build this far.

As it stands, I will most likely strip JACHero 2.63 down like I did SuperHero before. So my next releases will be based on JACHero's builds.

I'll try to get something new out tomorrow. Maybe LEDs included, probably not BT.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
you do know SuperHerov3 is based off JACHero right>?
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Yes, but they've done some things that aren't so good. And your guys' new build it built for speed. With it being able to handle Rosie as well as it does, I'm sure it will be BLAZING with Rosie and Widgets removed.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
It's aiight.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
v1.5 coming soon

I just flashed PhotonHero v1.5 based on JACHero 2.63. It does not use a swap partition but does use AppsToSD. So far it's working great but I want to test a bit further before release. Full changelog and release coming soon.

*Teaser Alert*

There will be a few "Gems" included in this build.
[G1 Android Development] leoni1980:
I formatted the stock card and created ext3 and linux-swap partitions using parted, installed the latest JAC build for slower cards but It still lagged far too much for daily use, though credit to the team for their efforts. Had I been able to switch from Touchflo to the standard Home I may have kept it as I'm not bothered about the widgets, but unfortunately this has been removed. I'm currently sticking to Cyanogen and awaiting developments...
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
its odd that some people have great success using the stock card while others (like yourself i suppose) have no luck with it. i bought a class 6 8gb for like 17 bucks at newegg.com and its worth it because the build runs really really well.

im curious though, as to why people have such different results ostensibly performing the same tasks with the same hardware...
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
it might just be what apps people are using, like if youve got music on the sd aswell as using it for apps2sd and swap, then its going to be slower because theres more than one thing trying to access the card at a time
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Yes, I am using a Class 6 8GB as well and still unfortunately got lag here and there. Then again, I am running Apps2SD and have Music on my SD. Then again, who doesn't put Music on their SD?

:)
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
You still have lag without Rosie and widgets AND a class 6 card? Wow :p I have class 2 with Rosie and with widgets, no lag :)
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
No, no.

I was referring to the previous posts about JACHero running with Rosie and Widgets.

I have absolutely no lag at all on my build which I'm currently testing.

;)
[G1 Android Development] j2kquest:
yeh i guess your right.................

Alright im sold.............downloading and flashing now....

will provide appropriate feedback.....keep up the good work though
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
I will probably be making another release today or tomorrow...

Just FYI.

:)
[G1 Android Development] youngstacks74:
whats the point of havin hero without widgets and rosie.... just get the hero theme and use cyanogens
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
As mentioned before....

Social Networking.

Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter integration.

I could give a crap about pretty lil' widgets.

:)
[G1 Android Development] mlevin:
What's the point/benefit of Hero without Rosie? To me, the whole improvement is the awesome Sense UI. If that's not there, I may as well be on a cyanogen cupcake build.

UPDATE: oh, haha, someone beat me to the question. disregard ;)
