I'll test out 2.5 in like 30 min when I can get my phone on a charger. Its dieing from all the booting and rebooting I've been having it do. Then we'll see if I'm moving back to the hero themed builds.
[Touch CDMA General] NarSan:
anyones know what is in contacts on sim card?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
i got vzw and data is working fine....

booting new system 2.5 now......
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
not something I'm going to look into sorry guys, no sim card in my phone to even test.
[Touch CDMA General] NarSan:
but we can expect that within a short time to repair? :)
[Touch CDMA General] akyboy:
2.5 has some T_Mobile logo now?
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
It has since 2.0...
[Touch CDMA General] akyboy:
lol, i never saw that t-mobile logo - just now,...
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
Yeh..typically it was showing behind the "force close" popup we were waiting on..

So I have 2.5 up n running and data is verified! Tanks bunches boss!
[Touch CDMA General] zahnza:
what is the chance of a lite 2.5 build?
[Touch CDMA General] akyboy:
2.5 runs, but tooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow,... definitely going back to cupcake themed
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Does GPS wrk on 2.5. Well it works faster then 2.0 def a keeper thanks a bunch mssmison
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
It does indeed! Found me within 15 seconds when I used "My Location" in Weather
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
MssMison i Got 2 vogues you ever need me to do some testing or help with anything please feel free to let me know. I heads theres going to b an Android 2.0 OS
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
A bug on 2.5 you may or may not know about, if you have it open and plug your phone into the wall, it says that the current charge is not enough to power the phone, to connect it to the AC adapter.

It still shows that its charging on the notification bar though.
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Also sorry can someone help me get the sounds working. I know i have to drag the folders from the media folder and put them in the root of my Sd is this correct??
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
it has done that in every hero build
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
im running the latest cupcake with your hero theme, very nice man. question though, how can i get the default hero style flip clock instead of the round one?
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
IT wont work. Because the cupcake image does not support touch flo
[Touch CDMA General] bally3:
FYI, I've managed to make the hero lite and full work on the Polaris using the zenulator build method. Downloading 2.5 to see whether I can get a working data and market. :)
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
I thought the market was still not working on 2.5. I was soo busy playing with the touch flo didnt even go and check to see if the market was working:mad:
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
There are a few widgets on the market that have the TouchFlo style colck and weather..Beautiful widgets and Weather Widgets
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
That is also true but they are very laggy. This is just my opinion but doesnt give you the Touch flo feel is you know what i mean:D
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i just want the hero clock, do you have a name or link?
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
sorry to ask so many questions but i love android and im sorta new to it. if i wanted it to boot into linux when i turn on my vogue how can i do that? also if i decided to go back to windows mobile, is there a way?
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
Oh i defly agree on that..ain't nothin like the real thing!

Those are the names "Weather Widgets" n "Beautiful widgets"..check em out on cyrket.com
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Go to your market place and in the search type clock widgets or just widgets

Can someone help me get the default sonds working. I took ringtones and alerts out of media and put them on the root of my sd.. But still no sound help anyone??
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
I dont think we've got SD readability yet...msmission stated a possible final FINAL build with that resolved. I'm imagining that once thats enabled it should be able to pick up on the media folder
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Thanks Bro
[Touch CDMA General] Pandemic187:
I can't get the lite version to work. It does its initial bootup, I go through the setup wizard, then it reboots and it seems to hang on the HTC splash screen. Don't know what's up with that.
[Touch CDMA General] david636:
Hello, I was wondering if you guys might be willing to help me here. I Use Andoid on my vougue 1.5 version. Whats the difference in this and how do i get it on my phone. lol..

Thanks a lot. And great work on the Hero, from what I hear, its very good:)
[Touch CDMA General] Pandemic187:
No one else has had trouble with the lite version?
[Touch CDMA General] simonb123:
Just installed the latest system.img and still no sound, any help?
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
The biggest thing I'm waiting for is a Roger's build with sdcard support.

It's all about performance for me. Haha!
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
How I got the lite version to work was using the full version with no data image, and then got to the end of setup where it would want me to connect my gmail account.

Then I put the lite image in and booted and got through the setup fine with that. I could have used lite but I went back to full to play with it.

That should work for you though, you need a lot of patience for those loading screens.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i tired to install 2.5 but it was just a black screen during boot and did not load up? does this take along time at first boot?

anyways im running the latest cupcake with your hero theme and it's very fast! i do have an app crash when i try to open office or pdf reader that was included with the rom. the app that is crashing is : process com.htc.filepicker. any suggestions on how to fix this?
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
chaneg your resolution... bot seems like I can't post this enough 320x480
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
thanks, ill try that!
[Touch CDMA General] Pandemic187:
Ugh. I would try that, but now I can't even get the full version to make it to the setup wizard.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
themed build now has exchage support. Also updating the launcher and messaging programs.. Should be up a little later tonight..
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
That's awesome news since I traded awesomeness for relative awesomeness and stability, I love the updates. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA General] rhorton:
Sweet, I really liked the Hero build, but your themed build, IMO, is much easier to work with on a daily basis... Exchange? perfect...
[Touch CDMA General] keith.mcintyre26:
I had my exchange working on your hero-themed cupcake build from the start via manual settings. Does this mean it can detect server settings automatically now? Also, will it sync outlook contacts? Thanks! Definitely donating beer money after rent is paid.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
It will not sync contacts, no just mail.

Fully working hero build posted to my mediafire page. I'll now be posted to vilords google code.
[Touch CDMA General] keith.mcintyre26:
Ballin'!:D
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Going to try 2.51 hopefully all is good
[Touch CDMA General] adeyo:
2.51 not downloading...

i tried to download 2.51...mediafire said invalid file, this error has been forwarded to mediafire team?? is there another way to download 2.51? and is this the one w/ market and exchange working? (or which one has market/exchange working?) thanks! love herolite!

****EDIT***** THANKS MSSMISON, it is working now...i think the file location was being moved or something, but i cant wait to try them.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
works fine for me. yes and yes and yes.

Also posted on the google code site.

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
downloads fine here
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
2.51 is fast and stable recommend. Going to try market and Gmail see if there working. Everything els is perfect even touch flo running flaw less
[Touch CDMA General] keith.mcintyre26:
where did you acquire the necessary files to make it run properly?
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Gmail and Market still have the problem. Besides that love it no rush mssmison your build is great
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
Market doesn't work, can't see SD card.

Shame... it's a lot faster, if SD card was working it would be perfect.
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Same here. But he will get it to work no rush aim gps and phone touch flo is running im happy
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
sorry for the noob question but how do i become a root user? :confused:
[Touch CDMA General] wdbanks:
It used to be explained somewhere but I cant seem to find it now...how do you disable touchflo and where do the sounds need to be placed on the sd card for the ringtones to be read by this new build. Thank!
[Touch CDMA General] :
lite worked for me but it's slow. if the screen goes black during boot i tapped it and the boot started again. it takes about 15mins.
[Touch CDMA General] rhorton:
Mssmision, your latest themed build with exchange support has not yet been uploaded, correct? On Mediafire and google, latest one says a few days ago...
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
AHHHHHHHH NEW BUILD IS SOOOOO SLOW wat am i doing wrong? everyone seems to be running this fast but me >=[ I downloaded from the google code page and have my data file still on my sd card. Do I need to delete this? also is there still the dev tools to limit the number of apps? sorry to ask such dumb questions but its taking about 3 mins to complete an action and im trying to work too lol please help me out
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
yeah, don't use your old data file, start fresh. and make sure your SD card has enough room for the 128MB data file that will be created, along with the 64MB swap file that will be created as well.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Thanks

Going to try your latest build. How long does it take to boot up? Do you have everything working?
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
Um, I was up and running in maybe 10 minutes or so last night. mssmison said he got the SD card working, but he seems to be the only person who it works for. I've only tried it on my sdhc card... my non-sdhc card is in my car and I just got up... I'll give it a try later.
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
I took half the damn widgets off and wow im wetting my pants, i love love love love love you!!!!!!!!

I have the hero on my touch now, and will be waiting anxiously for the Heros launch on sprint later this year. I have my 700 (or whatever it costs) ready to go so im paying for it screw a 2 yr plan. I will be removing the data file during my lunch hopefully that increases speed as well. Also whats the diff between hero2.51 and the build on google code? I see its a smaller file but its not the litehero. Could anyone clarify? im using the one off google code but if this 251 is better im swapping it now.

On another note my coworker is jealous since his magic is a regular 1.5 build =] he keeps asking how and why im able to run this. I love you devs just thaught id say it again. Beer on me in vegas!!!!

[ok seriously does anyone have the dev tools apk? I need this badly taskkiller just isnt enough and I dont really wanna go lite. if i have to i will but would love to keep on the hero build, is the lite version themed or the actual build?]
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Not sure what is going on now, I used the new files and I am still getting the process.android.acore is not responding. I am letting it sit and see if it catches up. Is it still supposed to do that on startup?

Now I have a text sitting there too, so I don't want to restart since I need to see what it says, what a dilemma.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
I'm not sure what's going on. I had another tester confirm for me that the sd card worked on his phone. He is on a different carrier in the US. He confirmed that market worked fine for him, as well as sd card...
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
ok so my phone reset while tryin to return to home screen and now I cant get past the haret boot. Its stuck at

Failed to mount /data

Wasnt I supposed to remove my old data file as was suggested? I just want to know exactly what files are eing used with what build so I can get this running smoothly any help please mssmission? what are you using? everything was running great but now im stuck with nada

Edit

[ok i deleted everything on my sd and placed in it the bundle on mediafire along with a default.txt and the latest zimage on google code its now past the boot screen but now hangs on the splash screen between hero and htc... going to try with 2.51 build and repost]
[Touch CDMA General] bally3:
I also have working sd card and market on my polaris.

I used zenulators build to create a working connection and then used that data image for all the rest of the builds and they all work fine, bar a few call issues.

Using lite version right now but I can confirm that the 2.51 full worked also with sd card access and market - albeit slowly.
[Touch CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
im just using the latest cupcake build with his hero theme and it works very well and fast. ive asked many times, how can i get apps that only work in root mode to work?
[Touch CDMA General] Moose8106:
My new FAQ

Just Started an Android FAQ if you want to contribute PM me http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4244792#post4244792 I'm not done but this is how to get Hero working so far. Hope I'm helping!!
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
Still stuck with this SD and Gmail issue. I am using the same data file from the first hero Full. Or am i suppose to use a clean data file
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
thanks a lot, hope this makes everything run smoothly. whats the diff between the full and lite? i read somewhere less widgets? all I care about is senseui or does lite disable that? some please reply or pm me. Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
not working for me?

It's not working for me. I downloaded the one from mediafire and the one from the ion google code page. I even backed up my sdcard and formated then only put your files on there. It's been about 20min and got a force close and now just a black background the bar at the top and no launcher. The lock screen comes up but other than that it's not working for me. I'll let it sit there for a little bit more before I give up.

Ok a couple mins later I got the boot animation and chime. Then back to where it was at before except T-Mobile. The screen locks. I can't get anything else besides the shut down menu if I long press end after I unlock the screen. Is it supposed to do that? I know my build took a while to boot.
[Touch CDMA General] briggs81:
I can't figure out how to utilize the extended application drawer. When I open it up, it just has a blank screen. Any hint as to how I do whatever I am suppose to do with it, or send me to the documentation that explains it? I can't find that..
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
long press on the icon you want to put into the extended drawer and then drag it down to the trash can icon at the bottom.

mssmison, My personal preference would be to work on the hero with sense ui and deal with the drawer later if you want. The drawer is a minor issue while sense ui is a big thing people are drooling over, or at least I am. Thanks again for all your work.
[Touch CDMA General] briggs81:
Thanks, I am an idiot.
[Touch CDMA General] adeyo:
dialer issue

mssmison: thanks for a great build...i love the hidden apps drawer, really helps me keep things nice and clean that i use. I am having one issue with the new dialer. whenever i seem to make a call, the initial call vibrates (as is supposed to), then the dialer becomes the old dialer and the drawer tab to bring up the dialer becomes the old drawer tab. Not that big a deal, because upon disconnect, it goes back to new htc dialer. just thought i would mention.
[Touch CDMA General] adeyo:
phone freezes/ sharkey weather widget errrors

Hi, another thing or two i have noticed, when i use this system image, the sharkey weather widget gives error and won't work, when i go to non mssmison img, i don't have that problem. Also, the voice dialing feature seems to work 50/50...sometimes freezing and causing reboot. I don't seem to get this error unless on this mssmison system img either. any thoughts? thanks for the best build.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
The dialer didn't change just the phone.apk, so I'm not sure what change there would be. The launcher has bugs, I know. I'm going to look into updating it when I get hero running.

DZO's latest kernel seemed to fix the voice dialer for me, might need a fresh data.img. I'm not too sure. Again I'll look into it when hero's running on everyones phones.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for posting your hero themed image it looks great. If you need a tester for rogers or hero I'll gladly try them out.
[Touch CDMA General] :
i can start the os or whatever its called but everithing i wanna get on the marketplace i can c the program but really fast it closes by itself.
[Touch CDMA General] stealthkk:
having a problem booting it...

I'm new to this project...just trying to get it to run.

Put all the files onto my storage card per the instructions on the wiki page. it starts to boot linux and just stops at one point, saying "mount: mounting /dev/block/loop0 on /data failed: invalid argument. Failed. Failed to mount /data. /bin/sh: can't access tty job control turned off"

Then i get a ~ # prompt.

Then it just sits there. Is there something I did wrong?
[Touch CDMA General] Pandemic187:
Okay, but then how do you access the drawer?
[Touch CDMA General] prairiefire:
go to the home screen, press menu, go to extended and you'll see the application drawer setting (first of three). In there are all your hidden applications. Long pressing them will allow you to put them back in the application drawer. At least I think this is how it is (i'm going from memory :D)
[Touch CDMA General] briggs81:
on the home screen hit your menu button and you shoudl see an "extended". when you click on that there is an "application drawer" option, click on that and there are your apps
[Touch CDMA General] Pandemic187:
Thanks, prairie and briggs. I actually just figured it out a couple of minutes ago before your posts! But thanks for answering my question.
[Touch CDMA General] fireshaper:
You made sure to copy all the files to the root of your SD card?
[Touch CDMA General] grktaurus83:
I'm not sure if this was mentioned at some point, but I just got a 2-part SMS from someone today and they showed up in reverse order (2nd message first).

Just another issue to tack onto the SMS stuff.
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
That's how it is for me in windows mobile too.
[Touch CDMA General] Pandemic187:
Same for me. Interestingly, I noticed that a few days ago I got a text in Android that definitely should have been more than one text, but Android made it into just one. I thought that was nice. I don't know if it was mssmison's build that did that though because I play around with his as well as the ones made for Kaiser.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
hero

Can't wait for that hero build.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
After yet another restart the extended trey finally decided to work. Not sure what went differently this time. Thanks
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Any chance we could get a Rogers beta posted on the google code site? I'd love to give it a try and have the apps I need, so market isn't a huge hindrance.

btw, With a fresh data image (with appmanager to make apps easy to restore) the latest themed hero build really has great performance. I have only experienced my "going home" lag once while going home when the browser was still loading a page. Good stuff, good stuff.

Cheers!
[Touch CDMA General] Moose8106:
No HTC widgets in Lite sorry but our phones are to freakin slow to use that properly (even the hero itself is slow according to engadget's review
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
I Feel your pain this problem is also happening on my vogue 7200. Did you get the latest zimage from the google code page?
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
sweet im switching ASAP!!! i dont care for widgets just the damn interface is good enough. thanks for clearing that up ill give the ful version a few more hours and then its lite for me.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Is it working with mssmisions full hero build? I didn't know if it was just for ion or not.
[Touch CDMA General] Bkzn3ne:
My other vouge just stays stuck in the t-mobile screen doesnt move from there.
[Touch CDMA General] katmandu421:
Yeah, I started with zenulators build (system, zimage, initrd and default), created data file, then swapped the system.img. Got market to download and install appmanager, and it saw the sd card also. Overall system performance was fairly slow, though.

I have a 4G sdhc class 6 card and am on Sprint.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
could someone else try what zenulator did and see if that get's your sd working..
[Touch CDMA General] lazyvegaskid:
now home wont load

ok followed the faq to install hero and now it loads fine, except sometimes i get a garbled haret boot where i see it load and then time out and the screen looks retarded and wont move past this point. Any ideas what may be causing this? also hero build loads but then stays on a black screen but signal bars, battery, and time all display. The phone can make and take calls, i can use contacts but nothing else ever pops up. My home wont ever load and I left the phone alone for 45 mins =[

any ideas? im gonna try the lite image and report back
[Touch CDMA General] bmessina:
Gorgeous, gorgeous builds... Just way too slow for now. Switching back to a cupcake.
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
i'm in Toronto for the weekend, so I can't test data/Market. I got mine up and running initially using the original data file and the original full hero from mssmison, and just let it boot without touching it (didn't click anything). Then, killed TouchFlo (open settings > applications > manage > TouchFlo > clear data, clear defaults, then hit "home button" - top of the phone - and choose the default home) and ran hero lite. Then used same data file for zenulator's black, worked well. Switched to latest on google code as well.

Love the hero sense UI, but as with others, too slow for me - I need speed and function. hero lite is my favorite - like the slide down to unlock (saves the volume slider), the facebook/flckr integration in albums (this was the last missing link for needing to sync with my computer), and the automatic facebook pics in contacts (no more need for facebook sync).

Problems I've had in all the mssmison builds (didn't use zenulator's black long enough to test out): here in TO i'm roaming, and though I can make phone calls, for some reason I can't send SMS messages (hero full, hero lite). However, yesterdays hero themed ion (about to dl today's), I can do this just fine. I'm guessing this is a problem with booting in while roaming, did try resetting connection with modem, but no dice. Will try hero lite further when I get back to the states, stuck with hero themed ion for now.

I'm running a 4gb SDHC, and access to SD card works in all builds including zenulator's black. Now, albums cannot access my pics in any hero build. Not a big deal for me since I will use the facebook to see pics. I think this is a known issue.

Will test hero builds further (data, market) when I get back. Looking forward to updates. Disappointed that you won't be developing the hero lite build further, mssmison, but thanks for all your hard work.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Have you tried my latest themed build? Try it with vilords latest initrd. It works faster than before, includes exchange and a new launcher.. Allows not only hiding program icons but making folders in your app drawer as well.

A new hero is on the way to the google code page, that with touchflo disabled runs almost as fast.
