now idk if its me or what, but i too had the conf (folder) in the root too but i took it out and it worked. maybe its just the 1st boot that makes it weird. but i realized that the 1st time when i had this build working i didnt have the conf folder. so try it without the folder and see if it works.
[Touch CDMA General] cyburke:
this build looks great and i will have to try it out!
[Touch CDMA General] tallnerd1985:
I just tried that and it was a no go. I am going to see if I can run ADB and get a logcat here in a sec.
[Touch CDMA General] Giggles 312:
hmm thats weird it worked for me. did you try to reformat your sd card? that helps sometimes too.
[Touch CDMA General] tallnerd1985:
Yup, reformatted and everything. I got a logcat made so if anybody can take a look at it, much appreciated.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
yea ill look at it if you post it
[Touch CDMA General] Giggles 312:
well after my mishap, i got it working, and it was slow and laggy, and the sense ui kept rebooting after i end a program.

but i used the hero.user.conf file that jamezelle uploaded and the sense ui is working fine. i still have a hard time removing widgets at the home screen but i think i just need to calibrate the screen. This is prob the BEST hero build out there. Thanks zen! you da best!

Hey come check out the good news at Techbrawl
[Touch CDMA General] tallnerd1985:
Here is my logcat in zip due to XDA's 19.5KB file size limit for .txt files.
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
may i please get a yes or no on this question: does gps work?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
yes it's always worked for hero builds.
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
what files/folders do i need to add blurnimations to this build?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
of the top of my head

ummm.... /framework/com.htc.resources.apk and framework.res.apk

not sure what all you are trying to change....

edit: you can replace them via adb, push the new frameworks to system/framework MAKE SURE THE FRAMEWORKS ARE NOT ODEXED then do stop start

adb shell ls /system/framework
blah blah blah
adb push whatever/system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk system/framework
adb shell stop
adb shell start

i tried this with the themed lockscreen from my systemv1.sqsh and pushed the frameworks into the ext2 partition over adb did a stop start and voala

EDIT2 all seemed well till i hit the menu button force closes :p better to just build it in then adb push lol
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
the transitions and nice bounce of the home screen menu that are in blur builds..
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
well you can tear apart jesterblur to see what you can find

the transistions and ''nice bounce'' effect are probably in .xml format or written in java rather than actaul animations

someone correct me if im wrong
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
correct in looking toward the jester blur build. the animations are inside system/framework/framework-res.apk

open the framework-res.apk with an archive manager (don't extract) and move to res/anim inside the archive. replace those files inside res/anim with the ones that are in jesterblur's res/anim make sure you replace exactly whats there and all the file names are the same. it's pretty much drag and drop into the archive. nothing else needs to be done once you drop the other files in. just close the archive manager and push the new framework-res.apk to your build.

[Touch CDMA General] stoked:
Any luck? I get the same thing, keeps cycling between Hero and HTC logos. Got the right specs in default.txt.
[Touch CDMA General] enatefox:
jamezelle, you probably need to reboot or kill vold, servicemanager, etc. before running "start" again. dmesg is probably throwing "refusing to reopen dex file.. collecting certs" endlessly. A reboot usually works if you have patience though.
[Touch CDMA General] pmos69:
If you don't have a conf file, it will use the default settings for every option.
[Touch CDMA General] tallnerd1985:
IDK, I went to another Hero image because I couldn't get the one posted to work.
[Touch CDMA General] enatefox:
Same here but I used ADB and killed the SetupWizard process and hit the home button and it loaded right up. No problems with it since. This is definately a noteworthy build. Got the blurry effects and some other goodies already.
[Touch CDMA General] casualonejp:

I know this is no priority and that I shouldn't get special attention but....I am unable to use dropbox.com from my work computer. Is there any possibility of having it downloadable elsewhere? mediafire works fine for me.:rolleyes:

hey cud sum1 plz give me all the files they used to get the hero build working. i thought i had the write files but one after another i keep running into road blocks. i havent done this in a while either. i got my xRom hero running but i cant cant this white to work.

it boots up and when it gets to this one part where it says it cant access the ttyl job sumthing. it just stays there. or am i suppose to just wait for it to finish.

earlier i just had a blank white screen after starting up haret.

Anyone else having trouble making and receiving calls? When I make a call I don't hear anything, but the call does go through. When I receive a call I get one short ring and then nothing, and it ends. :confused:
[Touch CDMA General] polyrhythmic:
IMHO SD cards are not the ideal place to keep an OS and I strongly suspect that the data gets corrupted on a regular basis. The FAT32 partition seems to have the most problems... at one point I had to reformat my card several times and could only get it to work by formatting in Vista. Point being, if it doesn't work the first time, try try again, and try a reformat too. Installing this build using the ext2 partition method, it took me 3 times before I could get a functional installation. However, I'm happy we use the SD card rather than flashing a ROM every time.

Now that I have it up and running, AWESOME! This build is speedy and gorgeous. Plenty of useful apps :D I have it installed on an ext2 partition with no compcache and a 192MB (overkill, I know) linux swap partition. I know my Kaiser is unsupported so if any Kaiser owners have questions about this build go start a thread in the Kaiser forum please. Thanks again guys!
[Touch CDMA General] ruizit0:
its nice but to slow to use on regular day :\

after this ill give up definitively from hero :(

damn
[Touch CDMA General] drewden123:
are you running from ext2 partition? I wasn't and i thought it was a little too slow but after I did the partition it is completely usable. Just about as fast as WM6.5 on a given day. I strongly recommend trying running from a partition if you haven't already.
[Touch CDMA General] Giggles 312:
now your serious right?! when i use this i sometimes think that its slow (cause it kinda is) but its faster than any other Hero build i've used. so if i run it from ext2 partition this build will basicly run similarly as smooth as a wm6.5 ROM? Imma gonna give it a shot and keep ya posted.

LETS HOPE IT WORKS

senseHERO 1.3.3

Hey come check the great news at Techbrawl
[Touch CDMA General] silex:
I must be doing something wrong, because bluetooth and gps does not work on this build for me.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Bluetooth does not work with any Android build. I think GPS should work with Hero builds though....
[Touch CDMA General] silex:
I was able to get bluetooth working on a cupcake ion build before by going into Wireless Settings -> Bluetooth and turning it on within the menu instead of using the option one level up. I agree that GPS should work so not sure why it doesn't for me.
[Touch CDMA General] drewden123:
Indeed. I was at the point of not being able to use hero on a regular basis because it would come to a crawl with certain applications, but now running from the partition makes it fully functional for me, so much that I wish it was just a rom on my phone so i could always be on hero.
[Touch CDMA General] ruizit0:
fast like last donut 1.6 ? or for example when you press call button you have to wait 3~5 seconds to appear the last calls list ?
[Touch CDMA General] drewden123:
Very close to last donut when sense ui is enabled, if you disable sense ui it is as fast as donut. Haven't taken note, but i'd gues 1 or 2 seconds absolute MAX wait time for dialer
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Fast like usable compared to previous hero builds. Does not run like Donut or Ion. But its much closer and better.
[Touch CDMA General] Giggles 312:
so im trying to boot this build with the ext2 thingy. i got everything setup and when it boots it goes through all of the mumbo-jumbo texty lingo, but once it gets to the android loading part it gets stuck in a loop, and the error reads ..

"ERROR: CANNOT LINE EXECUTABLE 's/system/bin/sh'

any help?
[Touch CDMA General] drewden123:
hmm...i'm sure there's a guide somewhere but here's what i did step-by-step (note: this is probably outdated now with the new rootfs, etc. but this works great for me).

1. Boot a decent distro of linux

2. Mount your SD card

3. Add a 200mb ext2 partition

4. Download & extract recoverfiles2.2.rar from vogue-android site

5. Copy all of the files from the folder recoverfiles2.2 to the root of SD card (note: overwrites rootfs.img, initrd.gz, and adds recover.img)

6. Boot haret.exe from WM

7.PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the text on the screen, it will prompt for the recovery installation something or other, and you MUST press a key to proceed with recovery. The time for this prompt is short, so keep close attention.

8. It will load the recovery.img, backup your old data.img under sd/systembackup (or something like that), create a new data.img, then proceed with boot as if it were your first time installing android (the process took up to 10 min for me, so don't panic).

9. Once android is all loaded and what not, you can explore to your sd card and find the systembackup folder with the data.img (the filename will be "date backed up".img, ie: 11-16-2009.img)

10. Rename this to data.img, then copy it back to the root of SD to overwrite the new one. You will now have all your progs, contacts, etc. back.

These steps worked perfectly for me, so if something goes wrong I don't know what to tell you because I'm not so savvy with the android scene :/. If your phone screws up, i'm not liable (i think i have to say that?). Hope this works out for you!
[Touch CDMA General] Giggles 312:
alrighty. im doin this now, but a quick random question, does the ext2 partition HAVE to be 200mb? or can it be bigger?
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
any luck deleting widgets?
[Touch CDMA General] drewden123:
I'm sure it could be bigger, but, correct me if i'm wrong, i think the partition is for system processes, etc., and the rest of the SD is still used for data storage. so i don't think it would help any to enlarge the partition size
[Touch CDMA General] clockworx:
I've gotten a little better at deleting widgets, but it takes some practice. I make a small continuous circle rather than keeping the pointer completely still, and when the vibration feedback kicks in I start dragging. Kind of annoying, but I'm getting better at it and it's not like I'm constantly deleting widgets anyways, it was just for the initial setup.

Maybe this is somehow related to resolution and the density of the touchscreen? Not really sure...
[Touch CDMA General] ali3nfr3ak:
i take a different approach, first thing i do is go to settings/personalize/scenes and change to the clean slate which only has 5 widgets on the center window , i use my thumb and try and get as much of it pressed onto the widget i want to remove ( keeping in mind that if i slighty raise my finger the widget will open 0 if it doesnt work after a couple of goes i switch windows then go back and almost everytime after switching windows it seems to work , what we need to find out is where the widget information is kept and remove it from the rom b4 we run it on our phones
[Touch CDMA General] mattcoz:
The circle technique works for me, and as soon as I removed everything I made sure to save it.
[Touch CDMA General] KERKEDAGAIN:
i've found that tapping at the top of whatever widget you're trying to remove and dragging as soon as the vibrate happens, works pretty well..
[Touch CDMA General] Giggles 312:
i agree. that worked for me all the time. but now im still haveing a prob with ext2 booting.

i downloaded the latest basefiles. (20091116) and i have 3 partions. 1 is fat32 and the other 2 are ext2. and i load the backup and follow the promts on screen, but i still cant seem to get it workin. hmm. gonna try jjust wipeing the card and repartion it and basicly start anew.

** EDIT ** everything is working now, except when booting the build. i get "android_power: wakeup (0->0)" error. what in the world is that all about?

At the home screen, press menu button, then press "Scenes," then choose "Clean Slate." This will place the analog clock on the home screen.

im serious we are running this as fast as they(G1/MT3G) are :)
[Touch CDMA General] intimidatorx31:
I was able to remove the clock widget by

Pressing and holding the clock widget

As soon as it vibrates

Swipe the clock down

Its tricky and it must be done with precision timing.
[Touch CDMA General] clockworx:
Yeah but now I want NAV :(

I was hacking away at the SDK, backporting enough features to get NAV to start up (finally), but I think I would end up hitting a wall once I got to TTS.

Most of the things I backported were related to density/rendering, unsurprisingly.
[Touch CDMA General] amad99:
is it normal for the the htc sense home screen to load everytime after you go back?

Ex. went to browser, closed it and the "loading" circle is re-loading sense again.

Thanks

[Touch CDMA General] anotherhawkeye:
Need some help with the speed. This build is quite slow for me. I have a class 4 SD card with ext2 partitions. I'm also using the hero.conf file by

jamezelle. Most of the actions take atleast 5 seconds (upto 20 to 30 seconds some times). What more can I do to make the build faster ? TIA.
[Touch CDMA General] KenNashua:
Ugh. Love the UI, but can't delete any widgets. As soon as I press and hold, the phone vibrates and then the option to remove disappears.

Scratch that. Took about 20 tries, but when I switched to finger mode, I finally got it (was using the stylus).
[Touch CDMA General] KenNashua:
Same issue here. 11/16 basefiles.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
try pro-paint camera or fxcamera from the market it should work
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Does it count as a random rom request if I suggest someone port version 1.4? :)
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
has anyone tried flashing this rom yet?
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
I have, I'm running it now.

It's the first ROM I flashed so I have nothing to compare it to--but everything is working, it's pretty quick, and it's pretty. It's really nice having a mobile OS that has drivers for all of your hardware (*cough*GPU*cough*). YouTube was a whole new experience.

My biggest problem? The buttons config is all goofy. Power to menu, End to power, no "back" button.. etc.
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
we have to clarify now whether you flashed it or loaded it on the sdcard

camera is back button btw
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
back button is your camera button usually
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
My bad--I flashed plemen's AOSP build and posted in this thread rather than the correct one.

Yeah.. unfortunately my camera button is dead. :) lol.
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
you could always use the old Zimage with the old keymap, the camera button doesnt really do anything now since they got rid of the blue keyboard, and then vol up becomes back and vol down becomes menu, you would have to turn volume up through the menu though since cam button plus vol rocker is volume
[Touch CDMA General] KenNashua:
This is still incredibly painful. Anyone have any tips? Is it the vibrate that causes the problem? Any way to turn it off? It's literally taken me 20 minutes to clear widgets from a screen to free up space to customize.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
On the home screen press menu then scenes then chose clean slate. That should clear all the widgets and give you a "clean slate" to work with.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
It keeps a clock and four icons. The key is to slowly rotate your finger in like a small circle when you hold, and then drag right after you feel the vibrate. Takes some practice but once you get the hang of it its fairly easy.

Do you mean the ext2 partition? It's fairly easy if you have linux. I used Paragon Partition Manager and it ended up erasing my RAID drives (I followed all the steps), so I just got linux and it worked like a charm :)
