WM HeroLight

Well guys its here.

I know most people won't really need this but here you go : WM HeroLight!

Before flashing this ROM, please understand the following about WM HeroLight :

This is a mod to MyHero 0.1.1

This ROM is made "Light" by doing the following :

Removing HTC Sync

Removing Launcher.apk

Removing HTC CIME as well as iWNN keyboards, leaving only English HTC keyboard.

Replacing Rosie (TouchFlo) with Coolbho3000's super optimized Rosie (link)

Removing Stocks App + Stock widget.

If you do not know exactly what is being removed, DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM!

[Optional] Removing Twitter app + widget. Do you think this is a good idea?

Please tell me if everything works. Link will be up when finished uploading.

The only reason I posted in this thread is because this is a mod to MyHero. If this gets too many comments, I will start my own thread (I don't wanna thread-jack)

*Edit* Link taken down because ROM is broken. Look out for WM HeroLight 1.1.0

V1
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ryoojin83:
Wow, I am impressed with 1.1.0, feels like a major speed increase to me.

Very Good Work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] betelgeuse74:
Sweeeeeeet!

Just upgraded to 1.1.0 and made my own tweaks...

I removed all the applications I don't use by running the following commands:

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

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/iWnnIME.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HTC_CIME.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/BizCardReader.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/Stock.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HTCStockWidgets.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HtcTwitter.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HtcFootprints.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HtcFootprintsWidget.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/MarketEnabler.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/PCSCII*

adb shell rm -r /system/app/Tether.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/VoiceDialer.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HtcSoundRecorder.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HtcPlurk.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk (edit: Forgot to remove the Widget in original post)

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HTCNewsWidgets.apk

adb shell reboot

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

The ROM loads quickly and appears to be very fast. Only time will tell if it is stable or if I removed too much...

The Clock (with Weather) widget is very nice, Calender is working and SMS have autorotate. I'll report more after I've tested it more extensively.

I cannot tell why I didn't use the -r switch when removing WnnIME.apk. I just copied the code from another post in this thread.

I see that all the removed applications have a additional .odex file. Can anyone tell me what this does? Should I remove these files also.

A big thank you to all involved in making this ROM. It is by far my favorite!

Next step? Super Optimized Rosie?

What do you guys (and girls) think?

Will this increase speed and feel even more?

Edit: I found that People app is crashing when searching for a person. Is this a result of my tweaking, or is this in standard 1.1.0 ROM? Can anyone test?

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
Sounds so good :D :D :D Thanks Redglasses, once again YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rahulsh:
well i wished that this modacco rom be prted for 32 a boards and its here!!!! thx.....and yes never criticize anyone....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] g.vasilev:
The modacco is really fast indeed. The UI is smoother than ever. I'm afraid that I spotted a little malfunction, though and I wanted to know if anyone else noticed that.

Whenever I use the people search tool I get the following error after the first letter I type:

The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I get this every time.

Creating a WM HeroLight 1.1.0 as we speak.

*Edit* Crap, you cant upgrade to hero ROM without losing all settings :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Andy0x2A:
Thanks for the great ROM.

I have a slight problem with it though. After patching 1.0.1 to 1.1.0 ( without wiping). I get a com.htc.provider has stopped working error message every few minutes.

Is it because I didn't wipe and install a 'fresh' ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lysin:
wich version of Modaco's was used?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phil_McRevis:
just thought i'd say congrads to redglasses for making a hero rom that runs faster than the stock rogers rom... you are MY HERO
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Eskibo:
Looks like 1.5.1 to me.

Cheers redglasses for your work.

We should all donate for his time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lysin:
he will be releasing 1.6 tomorrow... maybe ill wait... thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
What? Touch focus camera????????? That means I'll have to abandon my favorite JacXHeroski for this?!?! :D But I gotta try this camera :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] haakidal:
love it! after removing som apps it is super fast! and with that i mean faster than anything :D

But hope you can make a new release where the search function in "people" work :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
Thanks for the update! By the way, I found this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h.../03-09-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/

and

this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...alysis-of-the-shipping-2-73-405-5-wwe-update/

^^ Think it already found it before, but if you haven't, hope you find it useful! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
BT in update version (1.0.1 to 1.1.0) appears to have the same problem on the a2dp.. I'll check if the fix will work..

Edit:

Hmm there's both files there libA2DP and liba2dp .. I'll wipe and install the normal version to see what happen..

I also get this force close from the htc.bla.bla..

But, one thing is for sure... this is the fastest hero rom EVER! :D

Edit 2: Normal version, BT media not working .. no force errors .. I'll try to see from the original ROM what's inside to see we can do anything, or try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redglasses:
for the force problem, is it only happen on first time? or always here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
It always happen when the OS completely boots and starts opening the startup apps.. but only the version 1.0.1 to 1.1.0 .. Other person before post the same issue!

Redglasses, I'll try to check the original ROM or other hero (from the hero phone) ROM's to see if I find anything regarding the BT..

Edit: On the original hero is exactly the same files..

Edit 2: If we put the sapphire a2dp libs it doesn't boot, on the other hand the originals, doesn't work!

Edit 3: In conclusion, nothing I tried worked.. Tomorrow (Now is 2:37AM) I'll run a research during work and trying other stuff..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rquattro:
Quick questions:

1. Does this new 1.1.0 version has 2.6.27 Kernel or do I have to install it apart?

2. Does it still supports other languages for keyboard, like Portuguese, or only English (I saw one guy claiming this ROM has only English :x)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lysin:
Well, it supports at least the dictionary completion in Portuguese in Message app... but i dont like to use it very much!

Just installed, removed the apps I dont use and rebooted!

Working like a charm so far...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ct809:
just downloaded the newest rom, and wow its amazing! really fast!

just one problem now, my weather, under the tf3D clock doesnt seem to automatically update, even tho i've set it to auto-update

anyone else experiencing this problem?

aside from this, its one of the best rom's ive used so far!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
Need to be patient with it i think.. might take awhile
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
My calendar upcoming event widget is messed up. Its telling me I have no events for today or tomorrow, but in fact in the calendar i have between 10 and 15 events for today and tomorrow..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lysin:
To me that only says you're a very busy man! Eheheh
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WaterMan!:
what is WAP browser?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
actually, you're right. It's not updating for me either. it's been 23 and sunny for a few hours now, even though it's 10:00 at night !

And the clock doesn't even flip anymore it seems.. i knew they were optimizing it a bit, but i didn't think they were removing everything animated about it.

Anyone else having problems with calendar widget?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
Good question. I mean i know what wap browsing is, but i didnt think you needed a special browser for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lysin:
maybe is a "light" browser since the speed that the data is exchanged is so slow...

maybe doesn't load images or so...

just what i thought when I saw it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
HTCNewsWidgets.apk, i can't even seem to find that anywhere to see what it looks like.

I've also noticed there is sometimes an htcsettingswidget.apk, but can't even ge that to work or show up in the widget menu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
I think you are right, it's just a really light browser.. didn't play with it much yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lysin:
I removed that app because it said "wrong connection type" or something like that... maybe you can't have 3G on...

Besides, normal browser works fine for me!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] solgems:
yes i get this happen too, im sure its a bug
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WaterMan!:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phil_McRevis:
so does removing htc sync make my gmail and people stuff not sync or just by usb?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WaterMan!:
Its just USB sync, and it actually used to make a huge difference before when Hero was laggy. Now it doesn't matter as much, but my ROM is great if you want to squeeze out every bit of performance.

Also please RedGlasses, I don't mean to thread jack! If this gets too popular I will make my own thread. I just wanted to put it in your thread since it is essentially your ROM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
There is a horoscope widget? Lol

Anyone hhave any problems with landscape keyboard while searching in browser? Everytime I press a key the screen/keyboard jumps.

Also anyone noticing any negative battery results?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stratrix:
SMS doesn't work.

i loaded messaging and it just gets stuck at "loading..."
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WaterMan!:
Probably background apps or something
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Higgins12:
SMS does work fine for me here. Try to reboot or leave it for a while.

What i wonder the Weather isn't displayed at the Clock in Homescrean anymore :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] betelgeuse74:
Hi WaterMan, and thanks for the effort!

Did you do anything with the people app?

On MyHero 1.1.0 it crashes whenever I search for a person.

I did my own optimisation of the 1.1.0 release, simply by uninstalling some applications I don't use, but I only removed the .apk file. Should I also remove the .odex belonging to the apk?

Could you also advice me on the code I used?

My post is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4462521#post4462521

I'm asking for tips because I am a novice, and don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm not afraid to try... :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WaterMan!:
No i have not touched the People app. And removing odex's isnt a must, but still if you are removing the app might as well remove the odex.

Command is the same, just ending in .odex

Example :

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/HtcPlurk.odex

If you can get a (tested) working version of People app (try both .odex and .apk, but in theory just the .apk should work ) then I can make a custom build with the new people app.

Also you do not need the -r in the commands. My guess is that it stands for either -remove or -remount, in any case both are covered because you already ran adb remount, and rm (adb shell rm) stands for remove
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Higgins12:
Sorry for quoting your Post again:

There is a Problem with SMS .. i can send but not receive :-( something seems to be wrong here. Sometimes i get a force close of htc.com.provider as well. Someone can confirm or is it working for all ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] acids7n:
thank you for the amazing info, i wanted to get rid of everything you did, minus the market enabler

thank you

and thank you redglasses, amazing work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] g.vasilev:
Is it possible to push the People app instead or rebuilding the whole ROM. If yes, can someone please give us instructions on how to do that. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Higgins12:
I reverted back to 1.0.1 as SMS isn't working in 1.1.0 for me.

Build in messaging can't read SMS at all (stucks at "loading")

Handcent SMS can read it and send but not receive :-(

Every view seconds i get a FC of com.htc.provider

Just downloading the full ROM now to see if the Problem persists , maybe the Update went wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phil_McRevis:
my biggest problem right now is the a2dp support... maybe i'll download the light version of 1.0.1 tomorrow and wait for a2dp what a shame
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redglasses:
yes, there are some problem in the update patch.

maybe i will fix it larer...

the full rom do not have those problems.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pabbas:
How about the people search problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Higgins12:
Oh good :-) thanks for clarification redglasses , nice work anyway .. Love your ROM's
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] idos601:
i update the rom version 1.1.0 but can't listen the music by my bluetooth handfree.

pls solve,

thx!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
WaterWay: the -r means that it is recursive and will remove any file within a directory. Hope it helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wenwei.yang:
Hello , thanks for your hard work, just flash it. I found there is not possile to switch APN. but I can do at version myhero 008 also 0.1.0
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chris-steenkamp:
The -r flag of rm stands for recursive, basically it means that if you are trying to delete a directory, it will first remove any files within that directory (and do the same for each subdirectory (and do the same for each sub...)) before removing the directory that you specified...:eek:

"To understand recursion is to understand recursion" :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spatali:
Thanks for this, works pretty well and fast
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mika91:
Just Flash with 1.1.0 and test.

This rom is VERY FAST !

+ HTC Widgets are optimized (for example clock doesn't flip anymoe) and navigation between homescreens are smooth, without lag.

+ HTC applications, like "contacts", are fastest too. Moving in the contact lists (100 contacts with facebook pictures for me) is near to be perfectly smooth.

+ All seems pretty stable, even if I clean some package (htc sync, chinese keyboard, stocks...)

I found only 3 bugs atm:

- [MAJOR BUG] No sound with Bluetooth (workerd in 1.0.x and 0.0.x roms)

- [BUG] In "contacts", press search button and a system error occurs. But in dialer, every things is ok ;)

- [MINOR BUG] When you link a contact to a facebook account, smart research (display only contacts matching letters) doesn't work

thanks for the work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] g.vasilev:
The same here. I thought that the smart search in Facebook contacts was somehow related to the bug in the main contacts application, however it seems that it isn't. How can we fix this, any suggestions. I tried replacing the HTCcontacts.apk and odex files directly in the update.zip file, however after that I was not able to install the ROM. I am really new to this. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Update: There is a new version of the MoDaCo ROM - 2.0 now. Here is the topic - link
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pagubg:
If you ask me, there is a NEW System dump 2.73.405.5 based from HTC :)

I can't wait the author of this thread to port it for 32A :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TheMorpheus:
Flashed this morning, very very speed!! Keep it up!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulpenny:
Just loaded this and I'm having a problem with the data connection.

I'm on o2 in the UK and when I go to set the apn the mobile network keeps resetting itself when the phone tries to make a data connection. works fine over wifi.

I tried re installing but to no avail.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
But it is already done....

Check changelog on first post LOL!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pagubg:
I have already check it (Hero rom 1.79.482.3 or Stock Hero rom from modaco...... and so on). But did you really check it before posting?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] taurean376:
the clock that shows the weather is ot wwork properly, the weather shows only sometimes and then cuts off:confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Higgins12:
After installing the full ROM instead of the update all my recent Problems are gone , SMS works and the clock too ... very speedy ROM , i should go for a Drink with you redglasses when im in HongKong next Month :-D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgear356:
so which is which?

is this 2.73 rom or 1.79?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] g.vasilev:
I think that is not yet the new version 2.73 as the ROM file at 2shared states "Uploaded: 2009-09-03".
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Higgins12:
Gotta wait for next Version , my SMS Problem is back after some hours of use can't receive SMS :-( dunno whats wrong ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WaterMan!:
adb remount
adb push /system/app/People.apk

i am not sure if that is the directory though
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zestyz:
love the speed but the sms problem is quite annoying.

i use SMS Popup to at least get the sms messages and read them, cant reply directly, but its an easy workaround
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Higgins12:
I even don't get it with the SMS Popup , the message is received somehow as i tested from a other Phone and got a delivery report ..just the SMS is getting straightly trashed or something. It worked for about 30 minutes without problem but than got the error. Well i just wait ....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
It's 1.79... I believe modaco 1.51 was not 2.x either (read through at modaco.com)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WaterMan!:
Strange thing happened. I flashed my WM HeroLight 1.1.0, and at first the apps that I deleted were not there. Then they appeared! I have no idea how the hell this happened when I specifically deleted them from my ROM

*Edit*

NVM, flashed the wrong ROM! Lol making tons of stupid errors today.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Eskibo:
I have no errors at all besides BT.

So far the best Sense rom for Magic in my world.

It just does not start lagging at all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] timmy1980:
This really is a whole new HERO experience!! SOO fast and resposive, infact it is the only hero build that has stayed on my phone for longer than an hour or two lately before I gave up and reverted to an non hero build!!

Aside from the minor bugs mentioned I have one other observation.. I used to have a 32b device and any hero build (and a few non hero) would kill off heavy apps like the browser and copilot. Even if I thought they were running in the background (ie. Copilot minimised) when I went back to them they would re-load. Every single build I have tried on my 32A did not have this "quirk" presumably due to the extra RAM. Now, this build is extremely fast and responsive but the browser and Copilot are killed off in the background. With ANY previous build on my 32A I could have as much as I wanted running and copilot and the browser would be EXACTLY where I left them, no reloading.

Not a complaint, merely an observation!!!

Anyone else experience this? Copilot and browser are just my examples of "heavy" apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
ok will try it.. have my doubts whether it will be faster than jacheroski2.7.4r2 but im up for a try.. will post back with my thought good or bad
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
My favorite was the JacxHeroski 1.4 / 1.6, and I do find this MyHero 1.1.0 faster in some situations in the UI. Not to mention it is fun to play around with the touch-focus camera app... Should try it out some more :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HuMpS 97 DoHc:
I'm wondering what these things are that are being removed?? i'm trying to clean up some stuff. But not sure what these are so I don't want to get rid of them until I know if I don't use them or not. Thanks

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/iWnnIME.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HTC_CIME.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/PCSCII*

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HtcPlurk.apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk

adb shell reboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
In the same order:

Japanese input method

Chinese input methods

HTC Sync

Plurk client (Plurk is a twitter-like microblogging system)

Plurk widget

update:

And in case you are asking about the first and last line: The first line is to re-mount the /system partition as writable, and the last is to reboot the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
ok so far i like it.. just as fast as jacheroski(wouldnt say faster.. but with no lag for me with jacheroski how can you get faster).. anyways only problem so far is i put my apn settings in and its not giving me mobile network says error in apn setting.. trying a reboot

ok got it.. think the port i had wrong.. anyway to switch the flip clock on.. i kinda got used to it lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lpasq:
v1.1.0 nice!

no boot issues after wipe and full rom flash. other than expected feature issues associated with hero running on sapphire, can confirm the following on my device:

- no wifi

- contact search via keyboard crashes people app

- auto weather update slow to update but eventually does

+ i'm getting flashing trackball notification for email

portrait to landscape keyboard transition remains well behind other os's speed. otherwise, completely advanced ui experience from falal1ty1.4 and a noticeably quicker and smoother touchflo compared to v1.0.1 even with most transition effects turned on and several htc widgets active.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ct809:
so, is it safe to jump to the conclusion that, the people who did a wipe and flash, didnt have any problems with SMS, or weather not updating?

while the ppl who did a patch, will incurr these problems??
