Now this rom is really perfect!!!

Not so fast than Modaco but 2.1 is really good!

Thank to all the people that helped!

Is there any comparaison with Lox's Rom to know wich one has more features/ Less lags, etc...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
From my testing, this one is more responsive. But yeah, it depends on how much apps are installed/running. I usually kick all apps, I don't use at least once a week. Except the wifi tethering app. I love it, but only use it rarely.

Lox has a great rom as well, but from my personal testing, it is not as fast as this one. Unfortunately Exchange sync is not working with this one, I am pretty sure it works with Lox's ROM. But I bought an app from the market.

Another thing I did: I installed and replaced some HTC apps with their counterparts from an AOSP ROM. Email for example (for my other IMAP account). This one is much more responsive and intuitive than the app shipped by HTC.

Overall I am pretty happy with this ROM. I am now waiting for HTC and Modaco to come out with their versions of 2.1.. (I am so glad there is nandroid backup :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slimfady:
I believe he's already including the alternative apps in the current rom. There are two weather apps and two alarm clock apps. While not as good looking as the HTC one, they seem to be memory friendly and they work pretty well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
Ok, here we have another fix for this ROM!!!

Push HtcLocationPicker.apk /system/app and HtcLocationService.apk /system/app from MDC 3.0 ROM ad reboot.

Now, you have network geolocation using 3G ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Push Command

Hey Geovass, you must have been busy the last couple of days on this ROM ;-)

I had to load the additional APK's off the SD Card because when I tried to do it from a CMD prompt it wouldn't let me write to the the system.

How do you make the system writeable?

Claude
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
i use the Root Explorer first, making the folder writable and then i am pushing the pak over.

I am sure there is anothe way as well but i havent looked!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
You could also boot into recovery, connect via "adb shell" and simply mount system with "mount /system". This gives you write access to /system.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Boot

Sounds good Klaus27, will give that a shot later.

spending far too much time working on my phone, need to get back to normal life for a bit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] carblanco:
Can't download, rapidshare is always overloaded and megaupload has removed the file.

Problem needs help

I had flash the Rom, but i cant sync google account after that.

I cannot find the Fixed version.

Can anyone help me out?

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
The link I provided is the latest ROM, google syncs fine for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toomie05:
very well done! i have no idea why but i do not have the gallery in my app selection? some of the stuff just doesn't work the smoothest! looks awesome though. its a little unstable for my liking so im reverting back to modaco but i love what your doing heep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rastandroid:
Clock still FC

no photo gallery

Original music player FC

:confused:

Looking forward to new update

Good work anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Fixes

Install the clock apk fro MoDaco ROm to fix the clock, who needs a photo gallery and finally the original music player sucks, just use the one he stuck in the ROM or use Tunewiki.

I can't see the official update coming out for a few weeks yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fsaman:
nice rom after some manual tweaks

After de rom update i need to reinstall some things to make it more stable, and after that it works for me!

This i need to reinstall:

clock

providerapps

syncapp

plxcheck

manual change some paths to store.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] brco:
If I have bought HTC Hero in official shop (no operator branding), can I flash this ROM without any other problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
ROM Flash

Yes you can

Search the forum for guides on how to root and install a custom image, I had a branded phone and have run lots of different images on my Hero.

Would seriously advise you do a nandroid back up before starting anything though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:
Can you upload the file onto something rather than RapidShare? Its useless :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Download from here

I stuck the ROM here for anyone having issues with Rapidshare

http://drop.io/hikariROM#

Don't know how quick it will be but worth a shot.

Claude
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:
Thanks very much :D Has a pretty slow download speed but at least it works!

Much appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:
REALLY good version of 2.1! Definatly the best I have used :) Quick and snappy and love all the apps the Dev has put on to replace the apps that F/C...

Deffo thumbs up! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szalay16:
hi!

Im very new in the hero's world and i wanna ask something ( sorry if the question is noob or bad,etc) then

This ROM or MoDaCo 3.0's ROM better,faster etc?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Which ROM

I have tried both, not much in it to be honest. The MoDaCo ROM is more stable in my opinion but try them both and see which one suits.

Always do a Nandroid back up first, ROMS can be flashed fairly quickly and more time is taken getting your settings done, I have swapped mine loads of times and tried various ROMS.

Enjoy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thel:
but where is the version of no senseui?thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
You say this ROM is 2.1, but i cannot see Facebook integration for my contacts...

I will go back to Modaco or official one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szalay16:
claudefrog thanks the answers :)

i have another question what mean wipe? its a method or what is that? (i read in the modaco rom's topic)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
@above

when you enter the recovery mode by pressing home+power when booting the phone, there is an option called wipe, wipe....wipes all the user data off your phone, something like a factory reset.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:
Surely the use of Bluetooth and updated Google maps outweighs that for the time being?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szalay16:
thanks for the fast reply eldrid :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
Hey everyone ive been using this site for a little while now, this is my first post. Names David btw.

For anyone wanting to sync their contacts with facebook photos, you can download an app that will do it for you on your phone from here

http://anda.pk/ if this doesn't work for you, let me know and i will upload the apk file ive got
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Waza_Be:
That's my personnal use of the phone, but i have never used the bluetooth ( except in the car, but 1.5 works perfectly) and maps is nice in 1.5, i don't need navigation, because i have my GPS in the car...

Sorry, but for all, this ROM is really nice and the most important thing : SO LIGHT! i love this vision of a ROM with few apps apps, light, fast!

I like lox's way of thinking.

I'll just wait!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piluco:
hello I congratulate you for your rom I wanted to ask 2 things the first is that I can not sync my contacts to Google, as I said the timing is off and the second is that it is not possible to have the file for the setting in Italian?

Thank you very much

sorry reading various post I solved the problem of synchronization of google calendar but I can not find the application
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sow:
hello man, i'm french and i say your rom is very good, but i want to install a french language, how can i do ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piluco:
I'll answer when you have installed the ROM this morning, unfortunately, inside there is only English
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sow:
and i can't install an other language, because i love this rom, but i like my phone in french
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piluco:
if you look somewhere above I also asked myself if it were possible to install the Italian for me and I also expect a response because this rom, among the many that I tried, is very stable and also works very well so I would suffer greatly remove her
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sow:
for the future rom, i should a europeen version pleaaaaasee !! ^^

with english, french, italian, please
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
Ooops, never mind me ;)

**EDIT** What happened to Calender or Contacts? They're not in the apps menu?

Also, how do I get Google Navigator working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:

Just a quick question regarding peoples experience with the no sense ui rom? Is it noticeably quicker/slower? Is it worth dropping sense?

Exchange is not supported? When I select other mail accounts in setup, it FC's. When I setup google and skip through setting up a mail account there is not an option in settings to setup exchange.

I wiped the device twice when coming from 3.1 MDC and then once again after it was loaded. This rom is really fast, I would like to use it but without exchange, it is useless for me.

hmm gps dont work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Good start, but not really stable. A lot of force closes.

- Standard browser doesn't work

- Lock screen has a transparent background

- Clock / Weather widget doesn't show the weather

- QWERTY keyboard response is bad

I stick at Modaco for this moment. Will wait for a new update though ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rastandroid:
Agree with You and i think next update will b better and all problems solved

Keep up good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Valor:
Quick question.

Did the following steps to install this rom.

Wipe

Install

Reboot

Installed went fine. After reboot the Hero logo appeared but then a lovely black screen appeared :D and that was it. :confused:

Did i miss something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
no wait or wipe again and retry
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Upped new version.

Fixed GPS issues (along with some other fixes). Slimmed install size a bit. DON'T ask about the HTC keyboard. I don't like it and removed it. Mainly because it's too resource hungry compared to the Android one, and it's 4Mb...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rastandroid:
Hard to download form RS as free user.

Pls can you post other link.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Been using Aosp for last few weeks but thought I'd try this.

Installed and looking good so far.

First impressions ( only been 15 mins) -

Dont mind the non-htc keyboard, have been used to stock keyboard and bought 'better keyboard' and like that too.

Lockscreen - still seems to be 2.0 lockscreen not later 2.1 and background is whatever I have on the screen at the time, rather than a wallpaper etc

Will report back tomorrow on further findings but so far like your mix of stock and htc android. Thanks fro you work.

EDIT: is there a way of changing the Google news & Weather app to give me the UK news topics instead of US ? The AOSP roms before gave me UK news...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asadji:
firrypotato!!!

Does it have APPS2SD?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
No idea sorry. As I'm using a class 2 card(slow) I dont bother with using app2sd. Plus I actually enjoy starting new sometimes as I do tend to install way too many apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rastandroid:
Googles still FC

Wish to get that working with next update

Keep up good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
What do you mean by 'googles'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stea1thmode:
google goggles?

is htc mail working on this?

APPS2SD? does it work in the ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] markmazan:
mirror: drop.io/igsjfn9
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lambstone:
Yeah, is there apps2sd (a2sd) included in this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
Generally I'm getting on okay with this ROM, once I've removed all the strange and unwanted apps that come with it. A few questions though...

Is there a way to not have the lock screen transparent?

Predictive text doesn't work for me. If I'm texting someone it suggests contact names all the time!?!?! This is a real deal breaker as texts now take ages to type out.

Why does the weather not show underneath the clock in Sense UI?

Ok this rom was the first one I've used after rooting my HTC Hero for the first time, I find it really nice great job keep the great mods coming! Do you plan on putting in a photo gallery in the package?

thanks!

Also i got back to modaco, since no fotoalbum, and many FCs, but good job, still going, it will be great.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lambstone:
so does anyone know if there's apps2sd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I've not enabled A2SD yet, although primary support is available.

More on this in the next releases, although I don't see it as a priority.

You can manually move your /data/app to /sdcard/app, and symlink /sdcard/app to /data/app (first delete the folder)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lambstone:
I dont quite get it. How do you manually move those things?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Valor:
Install the update 2.1.0.2.

Works like a charm. :D Generally spoken the rom runs stable and it looks sharp. Nice that you can choose between Home & HTC Sense

I encountered a few issues:

Goggles F/C on taking a photo.

ShootMe F/C on start

Alarmed Lite crashed after installing <-- And its a application that dumps lovely popups :eek: "Get Full Version" maybe not the best alarm app 2 install

Maybe its a idea to create a create a core rom. Which has only some core applications and a extended version. So ppl can choose if they want the one with all the apps. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
I'll be removing Alarmed Lite.

how to sync contacts exchange - through wifi as htc sync does not work

how can i sync my contacts on exchange.

i used to do that easly with the original mail.

but with k-9mail there does not seem to be an option

Also when i go to setup accounts --> other mail account.. it crashes with the error message:

"the application setup wizard (process com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."

Nice rom.

i tried many.

This is most promissing.

Ok first time using the alarm, and the thing dosnt turn off when unlocking the phone, i had to turn off the whole phone to get it to shut up, really annoying hehe...

thanks,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zophar78:
At first look (2.1.0_2) it seems to run really smooth on my Hero. Great work!! I'll do some advance testing today to give you more feedback.

For now i've just noticed AlarmeLite crash at startup (I know you've removed it in the next version).

Really impressed by this ROM for now, keep it going :)

Is there a specific version of HTC_IME for android 2.1 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sjoerdos:
I see 2.1.0_3 what's the difference with 2.1.0_2? Please make a changelog on the topicstart... i'd really appreciate that.

Google Goggles fixed?

just 2 things, looks like 3D isn't working like it should since neocore lags like hell and build.prop has to be edited so i can see all my apps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Yes there is a compatible version.

I took it out. You can find out why, reading a few posts up.

Could you please be so kind and tell the difference between 2.1.0_2 and 2.1.0_3

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xlxl:
sorry, but what is this?

there is no changelogs, no "what works"; "what doesnt work" etc...

why should we use it?

thats why u only get 3 starts as voting!:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
1: I no longer post changelogs since I don't see any point in it.

Why? Simple:

Major versions would take too long. People are lazy and don't like reading in general.

Minor versions are upped quite often, and there too, it would take too much space just to write what has changed. I usually post a minor version every day or every few days.

2: I never ask for anybody to use the ROM. It's mostly engineered to meet my private needs, so don't expect me to advertise how it's Oooh and Aaah, because it's not. Since it's a development ROM, some things might not be working as expected. The purpose of this thread is just to share the ROM with the community

3: starts: I could care less.

Any constructive feedback is appreciated.

Provide me with the appropriate MCC/MNC codes so I can update the corresponding entries in the APN list.

That's funny, I just tried ShakeToWake alarm a few hours ago, and no issue there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] armisis:
oh alarm

oh, ok, i was using the one that comes up when you touch the clock not shake to wake... that clears that up... the "htc" one does not work but the shake to wake does then... ok thanx, and ill update to the latest version was on _3...

thank you so much for this mod, its smoothing out quite nice!!! great job!!! (might just be getting you a donation heading your way before the end of the month for your hard work! and i hope others do too!)

hey, is it possible to replace the default keyboard with the htc one?

i personally looove the htc keyboard, and when you're typing in a language which has special characters, it's unbeatable.

you rom kicks ass, about every aspect of it rules.

just this tiiiny tiiiny thing. would be awesome if there was a (simple) way to put in the htc keyboard.

thanks.
