OBS! Wipe is mandatory!

IM DONE, BLUR USES BAD GRAPHIC BENCHMARK, RUNS SLOW ON HEROES AND WE WILL PROBABLY NOT SEE WIFI WORKING ON HERO MOTOBLUR!

If somebody else it interested in taking over the project, PM me and we discuss it more.

Info

You need this to get the ROM running without issues:

One FAT/FAT32 patition

One Ext3 partition

One 32MB Linux-swap partition

Installation

Do a nandroid backup

Do a Wipe

Wipe ext3 partition also

Wipe dalvik cache

Install ROM

Booting up takes a while, so don't panic!

Issues:

Camera - Not Working

Trackball - Not Working

WiFi - Not working

Bluetooth - Not working

GPS - Not Working

Vibration - Not working

End key - Working, not fully, shutdown and end calls doesn't work correctly

Changelog:

What I work on now:

Camera

Vibration

v1.0rc2

Added two versions instead of one:

Normal - Requires MotoBlur account to run, no force closes in accounts settings

Lite - Doesn't require a MotoBlur account to run, force closes in the MotoBlur dependent parts of the ROM

Over-clocked CPU to 528MHz, makes it run faster.

CPU speed increases faster, to get rid of slowness.

Added 32MB linux-swap support

Moved media folder to SD, takes less space on internal memory.

v1.0

No need for MotoBlur account anymore!

End key works

Root works correctly

Sound works correctly

Memory offset works

Keyboard works

Includes my own kernel - That will get modified in the future ;)

All credits goes to Drizzy for his cool work! Thanks mate!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
hmmm.. has anyone tried this out yet?

And I don't live in the US, can't register motoblur account :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
I will be continuing the port!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notxel21:
Thanks Drizzy!!

I will be looking forward to running Blur on my Hero! :D (Already have my Moto account)

You are truly the people's dev!! :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
AWESOME NEWS DRIIIZZZAAYYYYY!

On a side-note: is there any way for someone from outside the US to obtain a blur account? or get someone in the US to create it for them? Would love to try this shiz out!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
can you test this if it boots, if it doesnt then there is no point in further dev!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
just llook in the dream forums should have a thread, PM the guy who stated it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
Thanks for that man. Cheers. Will have a peeksee.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
The rom is really sweet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chaoscentral:
Very nice rom! Hope to see this developed a bit more, but from what I can see and what I've tested

Camera - Not Working

Trackball - Not Working

WiFi - Not working

GPS - Not Working

But the UI is nice, but a bit sluggish when loaded with widgets(to be expected)

But nice work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jokies:
The link is dead, RapidShare removed it. Any other way to get the rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
yes please, any other sources? would like to try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
I'll upload it when I get back home.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Could anybody test flashing this:

http://www.4shared.com/file/140423718/a6bfabc7/signed-MotoBlur-v06-hero-dev-port.html

...and see if any of the non working functions work after? And please post logcat if you can..

This is only dev, so don't use it if you don't know what your doing, and don't forget NANDROID BACKUP!

Don't have my hero with me right now.

any of the above have wifi working? Sorry I don't have data plan on my hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
nope. Wifi does not work, i Thought The Blur Rom was pretty cool but im gonna stick to my Hero Sense UI! Its way better in my opinion!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
just flashed my hero with this and all its just staying at the white M Blur screen...

i can see the "blur" blur in, seems to be in a loop...

anyone else got this...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
did u wipe. mine took a few minutes and booted up fine afterwards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
yeah... i did a wipe... its been 5 min now, so will try again...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
Yeah! Give it a try cuz it actually bootted up just fine on me!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
:( it wont boot...

it gets to the M blur boot screen, then it seems looping every 30 sec or so...

to bad, was looking forward to try this :(

time for a nandroid restore i think...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] supadupa111:
I got the boot loop too, on v0.6 and v0.5r2 +small fix. But I did not wipe.

Did someone^ say that v0.6 doesnt work? I'm going to try wipe now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] supadupa111:
yea its the wipe. v0.6 is working for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] supadupa111:
seems like i cant get sound working on v0.6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
Yes! Sound does NOT Work for me Either!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dhruvzz:
unable to boot on v 0.6........it hangs up after da hero screen....i was on modaco 2.5 earlier
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Whats the name of the zip you downloaded? Make sure it's not DEV in the name of the zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
I'll look into that when I get back home
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dhruvzz:
ohhh no man m in india and wanted to use this rom but no motoblur account means unable to use it.......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
any chance of looking into a keyboard fix.

unless i dont know how to use it properly, there is no space bar on the keyboard............only a .com icon where the space bar should be.........this is making texting a nightmare

thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Use 0.5 until i fix 0.6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dhruvzz:
hey man pls tell me how do u use this rom...without da motoblur account...or everybody on this forum are from usa
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
look on the dream forum (G1) theres a guy on there thats started a thread and is helping people get motoblur accounts
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
this rom is sweet

using 0.5r2 because the keyboard works, just thought id post a few bugs.

Can no longer download aplications from the market...........Insufficient storage space on the device, even though in the settings it says i have 106mb internal memory

sound not working either
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Can any other US user of this ROM hook me up with a MotoBlur account so I can fix bugs on v0.6? since I haven't got any answer on my request to the guy in the dream motoblur account thread...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
DEV ONLY:

Need testers on this one:

http://www.4shared.com/file/140659347/dc2b77b0/signed-MotoBlur-v06-Hero-port-DEV-ONLY.html

Did some adjustments, try and see if it fix some of the mentioned issues with v0.6!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
not a dev

i'll test this if you want

is it in an update file to flash onto my phone

im not a U.S user though......UK
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Testing from other places then US is hard since u must Jagr motoblur account to access the ROM after boot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
cool no worries......

anyway i can tell you that in your latest release market works.

there still isnt any sound and that keyboard issue still persists...

nice work though............loving this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brampower:
I am using it now.

The performance speed is pretty amazing. Still not as fast as Hero UI but you are getting closer!

About the bugs:

- I liked the keyboard of the previous version better, this one doesn't have a spacebar..

- There is no sound/vibrate

- GPS doesn't work

- WiFi doesn't work

- BlueTooth doesn't work

- Red button doesn't work

Market DOES work! :D

I think the thing you should focus on now is the Sound first..

But it's your call! When you release a new version I will test it for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
DEV ONLY

Need testers for this one:

signed-MotoBlur-v0.6r2-Hero-port-DEV-ONLY.zip

Changelog:

• Removed TouchPal, should fix the keyboard issue.

• Replaced some libs for sound to work (not tested)

• Market is working (confirmed above)

What to come:

• Add end key function

• Add vibration

• Get WiFi working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brampower:
Using it now, sound works indeed great work!

Vibrate indeed does not work yet. Also, Trackball still does not work.

Also, the keyboard is fine now too :)

By the way, when trying to log in to Windows Live Messenger through the IM app it says it can't read my phone information or something..

Oh, and did you check out HeartBreakDrake's Twitter? He fixed BlueTooth and is releasing a new version, might wanna check that out. Otherwise, great work on the new version :)

Important edit:

Also, with ALL of these Motoblur Port ROMs you've made I can boot it once succesfully. However, when I reboot after that it boots up fine, then I see the lock screen saying 'no signal'.

After like 3 seconds it goes in to a reboot loop (everytime it boots 'till the lock screen and then reboots).

This is making the ROM unusable since you can only boot it once.. please reply with a fix :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Drizzys update is for 32B board, Dream and Magic not for Hero, different hardware. So hos update wont cure the issues we're having. I wont release any more updates on this ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brampower:
But you are still releasing DEV updates? :)

Btw, you have PM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
No sorry, wont follow up this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blakestimac:
so this is the last update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Yes, blame HTC for not giving us access to heroes kernel sources so I can fix the non functioning parts and all the bugs...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Thanks for the work put in anyway

Guess we got to wait on htc for that kernal source
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
Seeing as the kernel source has just been released, can we expect to see this ROM port being developed further? Hopefully!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
1.0 by the end of this week :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brampower:
Hell yeah! Nice work behnaam
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
yeah :) looking forward to it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Exciting times ahead
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stripealipe:
Sweet! Nice 1 dude!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
freakin' sweeeeet. hopefully i can get someone to help me with a blur account :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pookie1:
I suggested this to behnaam but never heard back from him - surely you can just use a US based proxy and fake details to make a Motoblur account?

Try http://hotspotshield.com/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
At

http://cache.brandup.net/us/ca/moto/blur/oas/index_US-EN.html

you can make a moto account without being in the US now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
Thanks - Just created an account. Hopefully I can try out blur soon :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
I have a blur account but I get error on login, so testing the ROM b4 release will be a bit harder...

EDIT:

Removed the MotoBlur account setup at boot, so anybody can use it without the need of login :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
you can actually register an account on the phone, just did and it works...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
WOW!! man i feel like dancing? so we r expecting it on today or tomorow? :D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Really wanna give this rom a try on my hero, been watching the clips on youtube and love the widgets and happenings app.

If i do a nandroid backup, then wipe and install this, can i just run a nandroid restore to get back to exactly where i am currently before trying this rom, or will i have to set apps and settings back up after the restore?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] E2K:
what is the point if the sense ui is still loaded in the memory?

not to piss on your parade or anything
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
I dont think the sence ui would be there, this is the motoblur rom instead of the htc hero rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dream_Team:
nandroid will restore it like nothing happened :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
good news, gonna give this thing a try then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dream_Team:
Do the following :

backup data,

nandroid backup,

wipe,

flash motoblur,

try it,

nandroid restore

But the rom in it's current state is not usuable (can't even get past the blur login even if I have an account) so you should wait ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
behnaam: any update bro?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Untrue, rom worked fine for me, let me set up an account on the phone, synced all google contacts and all widgets worked on the homescreen, facebook, twitter etc. Really like the happenings application, much better than the facebook intergration into htc people. Also the weather widget looks better including the detailed view!

Switched back for now as so much isnt working on it, but as soon as 1.0 is released i think i could be switching for good.

In an ideal world mind you i would love the hero as is now but with the motoblur widgets and happening app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dream_Team:
Well then congrats ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
well, me 2...

flashed the rom, and i must say, it work pretty well... except the parts not working, obvious... but the way it integrates with your social needs its awesome ... so looking forward to try a release which is more "compile" than this... the ultimate rom in my eyes (and im a bit drunk) would be a combination of sense ui and the blur...

anyways, looking forward to see some great releases :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
This rom is no longer supported or being developed!

It says so on main post!!!!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
well, if you take the time to read the thread, so is it still being worked on, cause the kernel sources have been released, after the first post was edited :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faulkner23:
hi everyone yes the motoblur rom is still being worked on for the hero the new version should fix some bugs in previes version and be a lot more stable should be ready by today sunday lets hope so
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
looking forward to try it out :)

anyways, keep up the good cooking chefs :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shaon:
yeah man today is sunday. the updated version is supposed to be released today. i am waiting eagerly to see it. go behnaam. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dhruvzz:
where is that updtae rom file which i can install without the motoblur account i cant find it....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faulkner23:
you can install the motoblur rom v0.6 when you install just create a motoblur account from the phone its works well did for me but not much works on this rom the next rom v1.0 is ment to be released today but nothing as yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Guys, I'll release later tonight, haven't been home for two days now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faulkner23:
cool cant wait for this what has been fixed from v6.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -nickx-:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chaoscentral:
I'll be trying this out in a few minutes and will report back how it works, but for future reference, could you please post a mirror other than sharebee, it is an extremely annoying website to go through so much hassle for the file. May I suggest a box.net account???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
ok, couldn't wait, so tried it just now, but it wont get further than the "blur" screen...

tried a couple of times (wipe, and install, wipe)... no luck..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hager420:
Boots fine but the happenings app force closes when i try and add a social networking account.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marazi:
will do :) thanks for the tip

Force closes come because the MotoBlur setup is taken away, I'll try to find a fix for that. Just got back home and can start the dev again.

Almost everything is working!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
The extended apns list is in, but if you still don't get 3G you have to manually insert those settings. Go to Settngs > Wireless Controls > Network Settings > Access Point Names, and then create a new apn.

What operator do you use?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faulkner23:
thanks ill give it a try im on t-mobile uk keep up the good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oaldawe:
i just installed v 1.0

and my hero stuck on screen with image of letter m Blur

what can i do now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faulkner23:
if you have done a nandroid backup just restore your phone back then once you have done this go back to the boot menu you must first back your phone up again then wipe data factory/factory reset hit that in the boot then menu then sdcard update then you should be good hope this helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shaon:
behnaam: bro any improvement in getting wifi working? cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NisseGurra:
Very nice port :)

But running extremly slow on my Hero, even after a wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
That's something pretty obvious with using ROMs from different handsets, same thing goes for Htc magic users using hero rom, it will be slower then the original rom you're using.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaapschaap:
Looks pretty awsome! Except the bootscreen, so ugly :P But it worked a bit and looks really really nice (runs pretty smooth as long as you just scroll and not open aps) can't wait to see further progress in making this the coolest ROM voor the hero... I have to trust my phone because of work so flashed back to modaco, hope soon there is a reason to try again! Looks really promosing! Sorry for really bad englisch :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaji007:
how long does it take to boot for first time?

i did a wipe

..yes i did do a wipe lol had to think

and on the motorola screen with the blur ... going blurry (btw that is ugly :P)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosworld:
thanks for this works
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
increase in speed

I've found the overclocking it to 528 Mhz slightly improved the speed, dont know if it causes problems elsewhere but so far so good.

Just need to be able to sign into my motoblur account now without the force closes.

For anyone that doesnt know how to overclock, theres an app in the market called openoverclocker

Adios
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] behnaam:
Next version is over-clocked automatically, set linux-swap to 32MB, made CPU increase faster, moved media folder to SD, it should be a lot faster.

And I'll release two versions from now, Normal with Motoblur account and a Lite without Motoblur account.

For people wanting WiFi, seems like motorola's using a new wrapper script and therefore it won't read the Hero wlan module, so the only shot would be if thooe changes are made to Dragon kernel to, and we use dragon kernel, but it's still not released. So NO WiFi until that happens.

The parts that I may be able to fix is Vibration and Camera. Just a FYI :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Amazing work so far, not tried the new version yet, just hope the other issues can be addressed and fixed before I try again.

Been playing with a dext all afternoon helping a friend set hers up and love the happenings app and widget. The social intergration is so much better than the hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samx69:
what is the cloud picker?

behnaam: bro isnt there any way to get wifi in motoblur?? cud plz have a last look at that? u r our last hope.
