weird thing with this rom, everytime i try a new release of it, it screws up with my market and make almost all app disappear when i go back to modaco
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docsamsom:
Hi,

Great ROM. The fastest 2.0 rom out there. One small whinge though.

The dialpad for the 2.0 roms does not have the option to scroll the various numbers of a contact with the trackball. What I mean is that when you type a few alphabets and get a list, if you scroll vertically you go up and down the list; and if you scroll horizontally, you go through the various numbers ( if the contact has more than one number assigned). With the current dialer, you have to open the contact and then choose the number you want. Except Lox and Benhaams CommunityHero2.1 rom. I tried copying a few apks from that Rom to see if I could get it to work. The ones I used were HtcDialer.apk and Phone.apk. No success.

Any suggestions as to getting the native dialer with the option to use the trackball to scroll through the various numbers in a specific contact?

You know that you don't give any substantial feedback, do you?

This sounds just like the dude that told me today that a few of his colleagues have problems with certain e-mail addresses. And that guy really hoped that I could investigate his issue!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Upped a new version, with, amongst others, a new market, updated some apps etc.

It's caps locked, but I'll repeat:

It's a TESTING ROM.

Check out for yourself how it compares to 2.1.0_8ns

Anyhow, don't forget to restart after init-boot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
i'll check that, can't resist even if it's a pain in the ass to rebuild my apps :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
here's some feedback, my market download turn blank, like if i didn't even downloaded anything

when i go back to another rom or my nandroid backup it shows some of my apps but not all

i have to use aosp rom, redownload one of the missing apps and everything appears magically

is it enough for you ? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
That's strange. I'll take a look into that in the future, hoping I won't forget.

;]

What I always do (and I DO download A LOT of apps all the time)

adb pull to hard drive or copy over the apks from /data/app to /sdcard, then mount sdcard and copy over to PC

When the time (need) comes, I just adb push the needed app. OR leave it in a repository in /sdcard/ and just install from the file manager.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
yea, I've got a simple bash script I run every time I do a ROM flash, something along the lines of:

cp -aR /system/app/* /sdcard/auto-backup/<datestamp>/app

cp -aR /system/data/* /sdcard/auto-backup/<datestamp>/data

Then copy all the apps back after ROM flash, reboot (installs apps), and copy back important (time consuming setup) DBs back into /data (like edu.locale* for locale db settings)!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gc48067:
Hi, love the ROM, excellent work. Thought I'd list the things I've noticed in the hope this is of use (only way I can help as I don't know the first thing about developing!).

Location doesn't work - tried about 6 different Radios but no luck, reported as a problem elsewhere with the 2.1 ROMs in general. Tried older Radios which seem to work fine generally but all fail to find location. (Works via WiFi and GPS on everything). *#*#4536#*#* shows CID is unavailable, sometimes nearby CIDs are presented but not consistent.

Android Keyboard fails on boot (com.android.inputmethod.latin), force close.

com.htc.bg force close.

HTC clock not working (reported elsewhere).

Contacts - Edit contact, Join causes force close (android.process.acore). Slider bar issue, doesn't show alphabetic sequence, goes something like A, Blank, y, o, u, Blank, s, u.

Hope this is of use!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
i don't know if you're aware of it but the market doesn't show protected apps ...

otherwise nice rom! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:
Is this ROM now actually based on 2.1 or is it just pretending so we can install apps designed for it like when it was first released? Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vvaleta28:
Hello, forgive my English, you could put this rom the Spanish language? and as it could do?, te dodas which I tested, is which is better

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gc48067:
This seems to be working with the latest Radio (63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26). Found a link which suggests this is the only Eclair radio, others are Cupcake.

Do have an odd issue with Google Sky, launches with usual screen then turns black, then closes after advising it has set location. Thought I would mention it... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Added a poll. IMO, this could decide the way this ROM evolves.

MY philosophy is: minimum bloat; lightweight (alternatives to big/resource hungry apps like HTC's)

I DON'T like Rosie.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zykozz:
Strange....

My ability to uninstall preinstalled apps as NETsentry, maverick etc. dissapeard in 8ns???? :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wizkid6000:
Yes why can't we uninstall the pre-installed apps? would love to get rid of some of the ones i don't use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I'll re-enable this if you really want to, though I've added, what in my opinion are, the best alternatives.

These are small, fast apps.

You can always help yourself:

1: adb remount (you SHOULD be able to uninstall those now)

2: adb shell rm /system/app/<app_name.apk>
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dl.zerocool:
First of all, thank you for the rom.

I hope you will continue your work when the 2.1 will be officially out.

A mirror on megaupload or another would be very great.

I can't dl on rs.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdurance:
Sorry if this has been answered. (Love the rom BTW).

Is there the "email" app as well? I couldn't find it... Just the Gmail app. Love to have MS exchange on with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
1: stop OT and spamming my thread. You're welcome to stay otherwise.

2: this is true for ANY file hosting service, be it MU, MF, RS, FF, whatever. RS is by far the most popular AND fastest; that is why I opted for it. Should I choose MU or any other, users would start asking: "upload to RS, I can't dl from MU".

3: nobody forces you to use THAT one rom, so you don't have to bother downloading from RS.

4: I couldn't care less for that nonsense.

5: once I sort my hosting, I might upload to my private server.

I hope I made myself clear once and for all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
K-9 is bundled in the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
What´s the difference between :

"nonSenseUI"/NO SenseUI :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
nonSenseUI, contains, what its name states, HTC's SenseUI (see the quotation marks?)

;]

I call it nonsense, because for me, that's exactly what it is.

Do you know how much space (disk, not resources) you waste JUST having Rosie? ~15Mb

Don't forget to count in the HTC frameworks...

NO SenseUI is quite self-explanatory - no SenseUI.

Upon flashing and booting, you'll get to choose between Android's default home or SenseUI.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Why bother posting in this thread then?

O_o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
hm..

the no sense ui rom is like the nexus one rom ?

if i flash , and don´t like , how do i use a nandroid backup ?

regards ;

gxfx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjeffrey:
Pretty much the same way you made the backup...

Boot to recovery, choose restore instead of backup, then pick the backup you wish to restore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
A new TEST version is up (Hik@Ri_2.1.0_92o_n.s).

DON'T forget to restart after initial boot/config!!

I "can" replace Rosie with the Espresso one, though navigation through its app list is considerably slower, and it's barely functional.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fwers:
thanxs adwinp

@xandu..

mate, I think everyone, dev should have a right how they want their release spread/released. Some direct you to their own site where you suppose to register before you can download, Some choose MS/MU/RS...etc. i don't think a dev should waste time trying to upload to a new site just to please a few of us. It would be better if those of us who actually are able to download from RS/etc, mirror it to other site.(i.e if dev is cool with it)

my 2.cent
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Well, I voted for no Rosie but looks like too many Rosie lovers out there.

But I would request not too much Expresso stuff. The new icon look is terrible and just looks like bad Windows Mobile.

Day off today so installing latest test version now. Anything u want me to look out for/test ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
@adwinp Just an update. This is the first ROM I've managed to get the to the market via WiFi yet another thing I can thank you for. It also seems to reconnect to my service provider much faster than any others I've tried which can only be a good thing as it means I'm without reception for less time :D . However it does seem to use alot more battery life. I'll keep on testing. Keep up the great work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] t0mbi:
SO can anyone shed some light on this ROM?

I really want 2.1 but i love the speed of Modaco's rom

what do u guys reckon?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] monyozt:
do i need wipe first?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hiub:
Can you tell me how I can enable one? I try to do it in the Language & Keyboard settings and I have enabled all word suggestion settings, but I don't get any suggestions when typing in English (only names that appear my contact list).

I also couldn't find where to change the dictionary language.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] monyozt:
anyone can teach me how to do that?

first i turn my recovery image

then connect hero to PC

open cmd

and i got screen like this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awsy44:
you need to do first

adb remount

adb shell

then do the mount, hope that helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docsamsom:
If speed is the key issue, then I would stick with MCR. However, this is the fastest 2.1 Rom out there....but still sluggish compared to MCR 2.8. I have tried all the different 2.1 Roms, but keep going back to Modaco which I find is the fastest and most stable for daily use. But then, the occasional force closures and lag are the price to pay for using beta versions which all the devs do warn you about anyway.

Samsom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
is the market working correctly in the latest version?

meaning are protected apps shown in the market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
some apps are still not showing ... like 3banana from Snaptic for example
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
Does this rom have the 3D Menu ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] code72:
Questions:

If i push with adb browser.apk and album.apk will they work? Which versions must i push?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Upped a fixed testing version.

Amongst others, I've fixed the process doubling issue in most cases (which hurt performance in the previous versoin).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] diabolik:
can you upload on megaupload or mediafire

thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
i'm using the browser and album from the espresso hybrid rom.

for the album to work properly you also have to push /system/lib/libalbum_util.so and /system/lib/libscalado_htcalbum.so
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] code72:
Tried it, album works ( a little bit slower) but browser opens and immediatly FC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
What album and browser u guys on about?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] code72:
Ok, now everything works :)

We're talking about album and broser apps missing in this rom. We take out them from Hybrid Expresso rom and pushed into /system/app and they work. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noel_leon:
I am loving this build so far.

I only have one minor issue that is bothering me and I am wondering if I can do anything to fix it. I am reffering to the notification about updates to Facebook. The notification is now saying that I have over 100 updates, but it just opens the contacts application and nothing changes when I touch the notification.

Everything else seems to be working ok and the build is stable enough for everyday use. It is also very speedy for me. I am not using Rosie though. Home++ all the way for me.

Anyway.. I hope that there is something other than disabling facebook syncing that can fix this issue for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kroosh:
nice work, really good build

one thing though, i installed the aosp 2.1 browser but it FCs and never works. any idea how i can fix it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
You have to push the appropriate libwebcore.so
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hi adwinp, do you have a other link to download this ROM? Rapidshare don´t works for me! I´m from Brazil!

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefanux:
HTC_IME.apk fix (may be!)

Hi all, after a little goggling I've reached the solution for FC of HTC Keyboard and this great rom, thank you!

Here is my 2 cents:

adb remount (if you have a mac you may need to add ./ on the begin)

adb shell

and now pay attenction to # prompt! Remove the "old" t9:

rm /system/lib/libt9.so

exit

(the t9 lib is in bundle and re-installed)

now install using adb the 2 apk with md5:

1a2e9587cc2a0d0339050eb628b5e19d

80776f4befd19b9253b5427796bf370f

you are ready!

also remember this url how to change the default language:

Location

Hi

Great ROM just moved from the Hero Community 1.8 ROM as I think there is going to be no further development ... and this one is great! Like some other comments I was also struggling to get Location to work ... however I downloaded NetLoc from the CKDroid 1.5 ROM dev and flashed it from the boot screen. Location works perfectly now!!

Here is the link to help those struggling ...:

Replaced old Sense with newer one, upon request.

Once more, READ the #1 post before flashing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Question regarding an incoming call?

What is it in this rom and many others that when I am on a call and another beeps in on Sense android 2.1 my phone will make some really weird noises? Sounds like static interference? Can you suggest a resolution as I have not found an answer?

Thanks<

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Thanks for the link rapidshare almost always tells me it's not got any spare slots :( took me 3 hours to download the last build 1h of which was the actual download and I'm on an 8M line. The mediafire took 10 mins.

@adwinp for me (at least) the button on the right in the home page of SenseUI doesn't work. Pressing it does nothing. Other than that (well and I prefer the older SenseUI but hey ;) ) it's, as I've always found with your ROM, better than the last and working like a dream. I love the new boot screen especially as it helps me to relax as I know that it's installed correctly (plus I have a lovely animation to watch while it boots)

Also any chance of adding the teeter app from the original ROM? I just find it a bit of a laugh is all, makes people amazed at the phone for some reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Awesome and nice ROM, but´ve a lot bugs! I´m back to Modaco.

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
I never come back to update for weeks... I loved your ROM before last updates!

What are these horrible expresso stuff and icons???

Definitively going back to AOSP!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kindastuff:
Almost Impossible to download

Yeah its almost impossible to download via rapidshare.

tried to get the latest version hikari_2.1.0_95o_n.s.zip can anyone help. Id love to try and give feedback.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Well, a lot of ppl PMed me about preferring Espresso Sense over the old one, that is what I changed it.

If the feedback changes, I'll revert to old Sense.

I don't use it anyways. I use the Android Launcher.

I'll try to setup some private mirrors, though I need to sort my hosting first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
Is it possible to take the files from this espresso rosie and use them in another 2.1 rom that uses sense? if so, which files are they?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
going to try this tonite :D look great from the screen shots.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Find the Espresso Hybrid ROM thread, and flash the Espresso Rosie.zip over the rom. I doubt it'll work over a vanilla rom though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
the expresso is imho better than the actual sense. of course htc expresso is a bit laggy compared to the htc sense but cmmon, its just a hacked version. nothing official till now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
What do you find that is better in expresso? I am really curious...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I like neither.

Just to be clear.

SenseUI is just for the community, since ~2x more ppl WANT SenseUI, than those who want a "vanilla" Android.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
I think that's a little bit more complicated :p

There are 3 kind of people:

1) the one who like Sense UI but find that Expresso is a really awful and stupid UI. ( i belong to that category.)

2) the one that like Expresso

3) the one that prefer a Vanilla ROM ( i began to be in that category because i found a lot of replacement for Sense, but Sense UI is really more "pro" than android 2.1)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
i am someone who likes changes. using the sense for quite a long time just bores me off. i didnt say that expresso was better in terms of functionality or use... than the htc sense but just that with the coming of the 2.1, it actually creates a good change of UI for some who gets bored easily if u see what i mean.

overall vanilla is the best out there. only advantage of the sense is the htc keyboard( easier to access keys ...such as the " _" for example ) and the better facebook integration in the contacts.

however , i still use the vanilla too for my personal use .LOL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Define "pro"

I have another philosophy.

I like SMALL (mem/cpu footprint), fast and stable apps, which are functional and a good alternative to the, often memory and resource hogging apps, which OEMs bundle (HTC for example). The look comes second.

IF I were to remove all the HTC stuff and leave only, often market available alternatives, Hik@Ri rom would be ~30% smaller in size, as well as ~10% faster.

Alas, more and more ppl prefer the "beautiful" to the "really performant".

I'm a performance addict, trying to squeeze every ounce of juice from the hardware available to me.

Somewhere along the way, the ROM changed from being my sharing the work with the community, to being in equilibrium with "pleasing" the community.

I know from my WinMo days, that this isn't a good compromise.h

Anyways, I'm curious to see how all this will work out.

1 fundamental difference between the WinMo and Android world, is credit.

In the former, "chefs" were all too happy to rip others' work and acclaim it as their own. Here, it's more of a sharing spirit, although I still see too many "noobs" just waiting to be spoonfed instead of doing their homework and asking google the right questions (using the xda search tool beforehand, of course).

Well, that's it. Looks like I've been in a writer's mood today. lol.

Have a nice week all.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
My post was not at all some critics or bad stuff! ( i realize when i read it again, that it's not so positive...). I maintyain that i love your work and that's a great job you've done!

I also prefer performance, i understand! But the "pro" mean that there are no more "grey menu".. A black curved menu with correct font seem (italic) better and pro. A grey android menu with boring font is bad for the eye (vanilla) and Expresso is so strange with grey background to icons...

I understang your job is really hard, because people want a lot of different things!

And if you have a lot of demands, that's because people love your ROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
@profete162: I never said your post WAS negative.

I was just pointing out some of my opinions, objectively.

So, chill. Nothing happened.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
What soft keys keyboard is this using because i like the smart keys for the htc hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
2.1 AOSP is building @home right now, so you'll most probably have a new, twinkly hybrid in the next few days after I optimize the build.

I would expect raw performance from an android-only build, but the HTC bloat WILL slow it down (since most ppl want rosie builds...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mixmaven:
Personally, I enjoyed rosie because it looked nice. Your average person will look at an android phone with sense and go "wow" I wish my phone would do that. However, since I am a heavy user, and the more that I get aquainted with android, I find I can do without all of the pretty graphics and have a smooth running phone with just a few applications on my home screen. I do like having weather in my location at a glance. Sure, it isn't as impressive as an HD2 with all the transitions and snow falling on the main screen, but it works pretty good. Anyway, for what it's worth adwinp, this is your rom, there is no way to please everyone so just make something you enjoy and the rest of us can live with it or find something else. Thanks for your hard work.
