[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kroosh:
thanks lox_dev im downloading right now. just curious what the original file is & how it's used.... nobo stuff, sorry for that ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kroosh:
just flashed both rom & radio. my first experience is great, really much smoother and responsive; long live the chefs ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Seems pretty fast and responsive.

noticed some of my paid apps are not showing such as SUFBS and Mybackup Pro

im sure there is a quick fix for this.

Nice work Devs and the source of this build
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DogGunn:
Anyone willing to post instructions for installing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
download update.zip. put it in the root of memory card. restart phone in amon ra recovery mode. choose update.zip. press home button. after completion of update restart the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saquib:
Can anyone explain the main features of this rom ? It is based on an official HTC release ? Includes Sense UI ? Does the update include a radio update ?

Thanks all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jubeh:
Download link is not working for me (OP's). I get a corrupted file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saquib:
Have you downloaded from post 10 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I'll bake MCR 2.9 based on this... :)

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oaldawe:
i do the same thing and there are error say cannot open update.zip

i did that with other roms and its work

what can i do
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Huey85:
Awesome! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Al936:
oaldawe,

If you downloaded file and do not renamed it as "update.zip"

you need to use "Apply sdcard:choose zip" menu item in amon ra recovery mode. After that the list of zip files on SD card will appear. Choose downloaded file using trackball.

Or you can rename downloaded file as "update.zip" and do the same thing as you did before with other roms
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dudeldei:
Tried to flash this one, but i only got a 'android-welcome-screen-loop' when it was done. Pulled out my battery, but same problem occured again. Was not able to pass the android-mascot greeting me :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
bro download the file from 10th post. thats the real update file. cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
mmmh, radio and rom installation went smoothly for me.

didn't any special things:

copied the radio and the rom file to my sd card - restart in recovery mode - apply any zip file - choose first rom and then the radio file directly afterwards - restart ...

... the first restart took very (?) long and fortunately it's working fine now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jesterz:
the file in the first port IS NOT NOT NOT NOT an update.zip

it's for dev's to use as a base for there rom's (like lox and modaco are doing)

this is a rom.zip that comes with the RUU
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hjalte:
So umm, I downloaded the zip from first post and... Nah :)

I'd like to know if anyone has found any news in this release?

I've heard that HTC plans to release an upgraded nordic rom at some point to adress some issues with the danish translation. Just a tip on what to maybe look out for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dudeldei:
Even if i could easily be eligible to have downloaded and tried the file from first post, I actually didn't :P

I downloaded this: HTC_WWE_2.73.405.61-rooted-signed.zip

And yet I got the android-welcome-screen-loop as said before....not a big issue for me, just wanted to report, might be others having same issue... :)

/dudeldei
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Hmm, looks like this is a userdebug version (vs release-user), which might be slower.

I've prepared a rom based on this version, flashed alright.

@dudeldei: did you wipe your data/cache before flashing?

Welcome loop is usually linked to that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gangstaunitg:
Very smooth ROM, thanks

If you got the android-welcome-screen-loop :

-just do wipe/factory reset when in recovery mode. It works for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
yeah and please move your init scripts in /system/etc/init.d so your rom won't depend on a specific kernel build....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saquib:
Anyone else find apps are missing from market ? Paid for an app 'Pure Calendar Widget' and now cannot find it. Not on 'My Downloads' either. Any workaround ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
Wipe first (I forgot, bootlooped).

Working fine now :)

Nice to see the Amazon .mp3 app finally!

Seems to be pretty snappy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
If you did a wipe before flashing, it's gone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saquib:
I know wipe will remove it, but wipe is required to stop the endless loop. Anyway of seeing missing market applications ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
The market application saves downloaded files to cache/data.

Wiping before a flash does just that: format data+cache, so anything you had in there is gone.

ashes to ashes, bytes to bytes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jesterz:
FYI

I've added the RUU to the thread here

(this is where the rom.zip in the first post came from)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jubeh:
no because I wanted the original one to port to Dream [ignore my sig :o], anyway, I re-downloaded from my linux box and it worked fine, weird... but now that the full ruu is up I'll get that instead (shouldn't make a difference, but I still do it for archival purposes)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] munkimatt:
Any chance could someone who's downloaded the update.zip upload to a different download site? Getting terrible speeds from current location.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naTTan:
What is new in this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
Rom seems a lot smoother and has Amazon MP3 built in, other than that the change log in the first or second post pretty much sums it up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bunt83:
Is it smoother than modaco's rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
Seems to be, yes, but that could just be because its starting off a clean slate, with no apps etc. That said it loads up all the htc widgets without any problems, so should be pretty snappy.

HOWEVER, this is being used for MoDaCo 2.9 anyhow, so not much need to swap over :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saquib:
Browser feels much faster to me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
I added Amazon mp3 player and voice search from Sprint rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nikjensie:
Screenshots

What's with the lack of Screenshots for Android ROMs? I'm so used to that from the WinMo era that I kinda miss em...

Anyways... is this a "Vanilla" Android or is it filled with all the HTC Sense(less) stuff?

//Nik
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
looks like its a official rom so sense stuff shud be included
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
First of all thanks alot Lox for your amazing work with this community , you have been a major key player in these new Rom cookings with your kernel and hard work

This is an official update for the hero which means sense ui and all, Lox has added the voice search and amazon mp3 player from a official sprint rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jubeh:
this build is very, very fast

I did absolutely nothing to it but add a dream kernel, hardware modules and libs, and give it a 64 MB compcache and the rom is easily the fastest ever. I'm not releasing it (though I might release a build which will fit fully on the dream's death spl) because I'll be working on eclair for dream instead, but just the fact that it runs so fast on a dream, I wish I had a hero as this rom would easily be the fastest ever
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cTnko:
yesterday i couldn't enable edge, so i needed to reboot my phone (then it work)

today i couldn't to any of my im accounts via meebo, so i rebooted and it work

after a hour or so hole meebo crashed (force close ...) so thats my experience with the latest rom + radio

oh and edge + trackball bug is still present

(and yes i did factory wipe/reset) before i flashed the new radio + new rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hjalte:
After installing MCR 2.9, which is using this rom, I noticed a pop-up in the browser regarding a certificate used by a webpage.

Never seen that before, and I have visited the webpage multiple times before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B3ler3fonte:
I have provided Jesterz with the 2.73.405.61 ROM (no my name is not Santa :P) to keep all of u and the chefs updated with whatever new available. Will try to sneak out the release notes and provide them to you. ROM also does include Radio updates, but as someone else commented, its a RC of a new one which i will shortly have available and provide it to you as well.

Peace ppl..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
"Thanks for your feedback on the market issue. Once any ROM upgrade is issued and signed-off for release it subsequently needs to be authorised on the Android Market Platform, which is currently being undertaken by Google. They will update us as soon as their authorisation has been granted. Once we have this confirmation from Google we will let you know, although at this point we don’t have a firm timeline."

I think this explains why apps seem to be missing from the store. Seems the Market wont recognise new ROMs immediately. Had the same problem with MoDaCo 2.9, but everything shows up on 2.8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
guys........ i just flashed this rom but my baseband doesnt reflect the new version. it says old 07.08 but the latest radio is 08.22. any idea? cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpalo:
This is very nice ROM. Modaco 2.8 was for some reason very, VERY sluggish after the phone had been unused for some time, just like it was running something heavy in the background when I woke it. Also 2.8 took seconds to scroll home screen to left/right for quite a long time after waking it from sleep. This one is really snappy, good work!

EDIT: Same issue with this. It is fast when you use it for few minutes, but when phone has been idle for few minutes and you start to use it, it is _very_ slow. Slower than stock ROM, I would almost say.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
after another reboot its working fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
make sure to follow the instructions very precisely. when i first flashed the radio i pulled the battery in the recovery image. old radio, tried it again, got the package-with-arrow-to-phone screen. pulled the battery, old radio.

flash the file, reboot (from menu), wait. then you should be good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aratheba:
Anyone else?

Hi, I'm currently using this rom and I do really like it: it's just fast and everything seems to be smoother to me! Great job! ;)

Anyway, since day one I've got a strange problem: sometimes I get an error message stating that the system application has closed and, if I click on terminate, I get another message stating that process com.google.apps has closed. If I click on terminate, those two messages keep poping up again and again cycling.

The only way to stop it is to shutdown my hero! :(

I'm using advanced task manager.

Does anyone else have such a kind of problem?

I would really like to solve this problem in order to happily use such a nice rom! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Hello Aratheba,

'til today I didn't come across the problem you've described with this ROM. It's running fine and I'm happy with it.

Maybe it's the adv. task manager you are using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aratheba:
Mhhh...I'm starting thinking that it could be the cause too. The only strange thing is that Advanced Task Manager never gave me such a problem with the stock rom! :/

Very strange indeed! :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
sometimes an extra wipe is helpful ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] soulehmoo:
Strange i had that problem with modaco 2.9 (which is based on this rom), the only link is I use Advanced Task Manager pro...

Maybe time to switch back to TasKiller.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aratheba:
That's it! I was using Advanced Task Manager Pro too!

Since yesterday afternoon I'm using TasKiller and no problem yet!

Mhhh...I'd really like to know what'up with Advanced Task Manager Pro... I paid for this app and besides that I do really like it! :/

I've been looking for something to add to the ignore list thus not to make the phone crash but I couldn't manage to find anything helpful!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B3ler3fonte:
Unfortunately i haven't seen anywhere mentioned in this thread (which i blv, many ppl used and i was expecting from Jesterz at least not call me Santa :P), any reference, who exactly provided the earlier 2.73.405.61 ROM, so i decided to deliver it here to anyone who is interested (and i bet there are loads of u out there) the latest ROM for Hero the : RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE

It's such a shame to share something to the community and @ least not mention to the rest of the ppl, from whom did u receive it...:confused: But its ok, from now and on for any ROMS and any HTC device i will share, will be made like this on an RS/4shared link, nice and clean.

Anyway, i guess some things will never change :mad: ....

So the NFO about it this ROM, as taken from Settings-About Phone is the following :

Firmware: 1.5

Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

Software version: 1.0.0.A6288

My first impression is that this specific ROM is DAMN fast in comparison with the 405.61...Its up for u to decide whether i am right or wrong ;) ;)

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

Your post is so very welcome! I guess, even if not directly, everyone here thanks you for your sharing! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Thanks, grabbing now!

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
have you considered that maybe the source does not want to be disclosed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B3ler3fonte:
Of coz i did considered it, but when u submit something, even through pm, for public sharing, most of the times u simply mention that don't mention from whom did u receive it from. With earlier 405.61 ROM i haven't said anything like that to Jesterz, just sent the RS link to be included to the appropriate thread about Original ROMS, for the simplest reason that it ws locked. But i guess thats not the point of urgement.

U see, its like, writting ur thesis @ Uni, taking parts from books, authors,net and not referencing ur sources....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
I'll repack the radio ROM first, then release this as an update zip (both in the usual post on modaco) then update MCR.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cTnko:
Thank Paul
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i am not sure if i got this right, did you also release the last rom and are now angry that you weren't mentioned as the source, or are you wondering why the source of the last rom wasn't mentioned at all?

i think if you want credits for the release then do it as you did now, make it obvious for everyone that it was you. if you don't want the credits then just make it appear, it should be clear to everyone that it was not jesterz (or anyone else from the scene) who made this rom (as for your thesis comparison, where it is not clear who thought of the contents).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B3ler3fonte:
Mate who said that someone here is seeking for credits or so on?Not @ all. Im just not this type of a person who is seeking for publicity through forums..Anyways. But its easy ppl to regret when they contribute in any way.

The thing is that ppl sud know the source of the upload and/or share and thats all. And for the records, yes i did provide the previous one. Anyway, sometimes, ppl make things look flat, that everything sud be given easily, widely and the only thing which sud matter, is our job to be done. Totally wrong for me...Case is closed and as i see, DL is continuing, so leave it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bourdagespl:
I Had this king of problems with Adv Task Mng with stock rom AND with MCR 2.9.

Hi Paul,

that sounds great!

I look forward to downloading the .66 rom and the new radio soon from you modaco site very soon :-)

Many thanks!

edited: Just seen the new radio ... downloading

Will you also put the .66 rom as unzip version to modaco? ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:

How do you rip the RUU apart?

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
Thanks for the releases (both this and the other one).

Myself (and I assume all other tweakers) are very grateful for the releases like this. Sadly not everyone respects that sometimes leaks like this are done at the risk of peoples jobs and livelyhood.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
Added the 2.73.45.66 ROM to my ROMs + Radios post.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
To extract the RUU, run it (on a windows box obviously), then when you hit the main screen run %temp% from the run box. Look for a new temporary dir, and in there you'll find rom.zip.

Extract that and you have your IMG files.

Extract those using unyaffs and you have the files themselves.

Add a META-INF dir to those with the required instructions, zip and sign and you have yourself an update zip.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
Thankyou :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Paul, you're unbelievable!

A big thank you from Germany!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jesterz:
To all, I want to set something straight here, the ONLY reason I did NOT give the username who provided me with this (B3ler3fonte) was to protect him/her, we have seen people in the past on this board come and go because the company they work for found out that they were leaking stuff.

This is something I don't want to have on my neck.

So it has nothing to do with NOT given credit where credit is due (and it most certainly is in this case)

So without further hold ups

THANK YOU B3ler3fonte

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
Sometimes the audio skips when I'm using bluetooth headphones, and it seems it lowers the quality of the sound each time it skips so that it can have a better connection. Whenever it lowers the quality, it never brings it back up, even if I put the phone right next to the headphones. Is there any way to force a line quality even if there are skips?

I am using EnergyROM October 11 and it has HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\AV\LineSpeed preset to 280.

[Android Themes] Dyonas:
I've been playing around with a few themes and trying some stuff myself, mostly unsuccessfully, but a side effect is that now that I have it looking kinda how I want it I have one issue I can't figure out. The notification bar text, not all of it, just the very top with the date and time, is white. That makes it practically unreadable but I have no idea what file to tweak in which apk. The only options I have are to cry or see if anyone here can point me to the right thing to smack into shape. Anyone?

I realise this is a question and should technically be in Q&A but it's theme related.
[Android Themes] david1171:
you can use colorChange to change the text color, or you can reflash your rom. the clock and date and such are in services.jar, and the notification text is at framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] swtaltima:
I did a search and as Ive found over the past few years the search option blows. Anyway, I have been customizing my tilt as well as my moms (that I will be shipping back to her) anyway I need to put another rom on her phone but dont want to lose the customization since it took so long to do.

My question is what specifically to select in lets say sprite back up or spb?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] A7mag3ddon:
Spb backup allows you to back up the entire phone, contacts, installed programs, sms, everything.

i used it when i was trying out new roms becuase i didn't want to re-set up my phone again from scratch after messing with a new OS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] darkic:
Fully agree
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
Sprite Backup also lets you choose exactly what you want to backup.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] aethicus:
I see it and it looks like some sort of UI mod for Manila. anyone have ideas? is this HTC or 3rd party/dev add-on?

thanks!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] abzza:
sense = manila

and plz. search next time you are a member!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
To be honest, I'm not quite clear either, even after searching, and I've spent many, many hours in this forum. It would be nice to have a clear definition of Manila vs TF3D vs Sense, because all three seem to be used interchangeably in the forum.

I wait to be flamed, but isn't Sense just "tarted up" TouchFlo3D with a new snappier name that makes marketing easier? I imagine "Manila" was the original name (an acronym?) for HTC's (at the time) new interface to overlay the WM interface. So, Manila would mean both TF3D and Sense?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mike Austin:
There is something to be said about having a general dictionary or list of product names on the forum. There are many names that I don't know and it can take ages to find what they are.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] aethicus:
For starters I DID search - plz don't assume something :-)

I do agree that a dictionary of terms would be great.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DeathJester:
A breakdown of the convention

TouchFLO: The UI modification designed by HTC.

Manila: Version 2.0 / 2.1 of the TouchFLO UI

Sense: Version 2.5 of the TouchFLO UI

Think of it as codenames, very much like internal build names for the devices.

Touch Diamond 2 = Topaz, for instance, in the same way as TouchFLO 2.1 = Manila and TouchFLO 2.5 = Sense.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mike Austin:
I have TouchFLO 3.0. What is the code name for that (and don't say 'nonsense'!)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pauln:
UAuuuu YOU have TouchFLO 3.0 or TouchFLO3D ? Or you are from the future and made some fun with us? :)
