The new rom is ready. Here's the changelog:

28004.1

[All] Updated to Windows build 28004

[Sense] Updates to Home, Internet and Stock tabs

[Sense] Fixed quicklinks on home tab

[Sense] BG4ALL added - Same background for all tabs

[All] Finally remembered to remove TF3d config :)

[All] Updated version of My Phone

[All] Updated version of Marketplace

[All] Changed a few icons (mostly old HTC logos)

[All] Updated USB to PC popup package

I messed around with a LOT trying to get a modern version of ConnectionSetup into this ROM. It just broke too much. There is a cab for it in the Known Bugs section if anyone wants it.

I also checked out build 28005. I didn't see any differences between it and 28004. I've been hammering 28004 with the ConnectionSetup troubleshooting, so know it's a stable (and fast!) build. That's the one I'm sticking with for now.

There's a new messaging client that Amarullz wrote that's kind of a hybrid between the classic client and the new HTC Client. I'm playing around with it, but he is releasing a lot of updates for it. Once he gets a version that he's happy with, I may put out a test ROM to get some feedback from you guys. You can take a look at it here (more information though that whole thread).

Love the new rom

Just installed the new rom so far very impressive. Seems to be fast and snappy.

Thanks Heaps

miscrosoft my phone seems to be broken installing old version see if that fixes it

THANKS Heaps for your time and effort
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
Yeah, I like this one. Other than the ConnectionSetup frustration, this has been one of the smoothest builds I've played with in a while.

What is My Phone doing? I only tested backing up a few text messages to make sure the program version was current.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] in2vnyl:
MY phone

Came up with an error not sure of the error details I tried to get it to work a couple of times. I installed an old beta my phone and after it updated itself my phone works

Thanks Again
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
need tf3d config for french language please :)

:confused:hello

j using TF3D config to change the language of manilla sense, how to have the plug-in.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GeovanniLuciano:
Will not sync with Vista or Windows 7 at all, going back to previous version.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
Can anyone else confirm this? I'm able to sync with the 32 and 64 bit versions of XP, Vista and Win 7 with two different phones. I even synced with a Win 2000 machine just to say I tried everything...I did cheat on that one and only did 32 bit ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dinky:
Hotfile mirror

In case anybody has free slot problem with rapidshare, I spent a whole day to have both build downloaded and uploaded them here

28004.1 Base

28004.1 with Sense
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GeovanniLuciano:
Windows Vista 64 bit for me, gets hung up on Contacts and freezes at 27%. Windows 7 32 bit I get an error upon attempt sync once connected. Hope the little extra info helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dinky:
I sync with Windows 7 x64 with no problem. What's your setting for USB to PC? Did you try to uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality" under "Activesync"? It works for me even with the checkbox checked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GeovanniLuciano:
Tell me where and how and I will give it a try. Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] palkens:
i got one more question to previous build

how to change hardware keybort layout:(?

i try to find it on google but even changing lang sth i registry to my local code didnt work (im from poland and my code is 415) what should i do?

having caps lock on TAB button and FN on caps lock and many more is quite annoing

edit

ps this previous build sync with win 7 very well
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sotong:
Dinky, good job! Thanks for your efforts. Rapidshare can get quite unpredictable
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dinky:
Start -> Settings -> Menu -> All Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC

If "Enable advanced network functionality" is checked, try to uncheck it to see if it helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
Start > Programs > Tools > ProFuze KB Settings should let you change it.

RRE user here :)

Restoring backups from RRE builds?

I'm an avid RRE user and found this build early this morning, so flashed to 28004.1, but I had problems restoring my calendar, contacts and sms messages using PPCPimBackup v2.8 (which I've used on all of RRE's ROMs with no problems at all). I've read through the entire thread here, but have not found a solution to this :confused:

After restoring my backup the calendar showed events for 2008, even though I changed my clock and date before the restoration process, and my messages where not added at all :(

I should note that I have around 2500 SMS messages in my inbox and around 2000 messages in the sent messages folder.

What backup utility are you old RRE guys using, or did you simply start from scratch with this build?

I'm currently back with RRE's final 23071 build, hoping for a solution so I can get in on this one :D

Thanks for your interest!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
All of my data is on my company's Exchange server. Since I get it all back from Activesync I never tried PimBackup. There's nothing that would prevent it from working though since rRedux is based on the RRE kitchen.

The other thing you can try is backing up/restoring through My Phone. It does a better job on threaded SMS than PimBackup anyway...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aSquard:
I'm sure this was posted earlier on, just for confirmation though: no lansdcape support correct? It seems, some things work in landscape and others don't.

Also: Contacts from the home screen in order to make calls. Just like in 23071, when I hit the hardware button to pull up previously missed calls, the list is blank and I have to go to the Call History in order to view missed calls. Any fix for this?

I'll try flashing to a stock ROM later this evening then back to HTC Sense 2.5 and see if that clears it up.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wil Badger:
Sense 2.5 if from a phone that does not have a slideout keyboard. Sense 2.5 will only rotate on certain tabs like pictures and music. This is using the g-sensor not the slideout keyboard, you simple rotate the phone.

Now if you would like to add landscape support you can go and check out Rotastrain's Manila 2.5 Landscape. It's completely hand written by him. Nothing from HTC was used so it's a beta at the moment. Him and several others are currently working on getting his fully working version on WVGA ported over to VGA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cazzobudda:
very nice rom!!!!

has a bug in touch keyboard in italian language,even if I set the register and advance config,not all symbols work.have you a fix to recommend?

ciao
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] palkens:
lol i couldnt find it;P thx and btw i installed s2u2 as i said and now after unlocking i have nice backlight but :P glight do not work ;/ it has always the same backlight level do you have the same problem?

ps tomorrow i will flash new version
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GeovanniLuciano:
I ended up doing a fresh install again of Windows Mobile Device Center on my Windows 7 and Vista Machines. The Vista still doesn't like contacts but the 7 took now.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aSquard:
AH ok. I didn't think about Sense 2.5 coming from a phone without a keyboard. Well aside from that and the HTC Messages, it's pretty and fast!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
Yeah, HTC Messaging is starting to piss me off. I'm trying to cab up the messaging program Amarulls wrote. If that doesn't work, I'll probably bake a test ROM with it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] spideyngo:
Yeah, I had to disable HTC Messaging to survive. I really liked it, just really sluggish. I love Sense though!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aSquard:
Any way to keep the phone keypad from the diamond slide to answer without the actual slider. It's never worked right on my phone and because of using the Standard WM phone pad, my missed calls list remains blank until I go to the Call History.

Also... help me KILL the fingerkeyboard. It pops up though I've set it not to auto-deploy.

HTC messaging is nice, but SLOW as all get out. I too will be disabling it.

- Fix so it doesn't pick email addresses?

Oh and receiving MMS? I tried TAEL's fix for AT&T but no luck... :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] darkstar286:
Is there any way to turn off the "feature" where it adds a period after the sentence if you press space twice? My space bar sticks, so I frequently have 2 or 3 spaces after some words. WinMo used to just automatically get rid of the spaces, but now it adds a period, and that's annoying, because I have to go back and delete them. Anyone know how to turn it off?

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] LinhLinh7:
Please help me!!!

I enjoyed the ROM is your special because it was integrated Manila 2.5. But there's one thing I can not use the machine's QWERTY keyboard to type in Russian. Please help me just typing on the QWERTY keyboard Russian. I am using your Fuze.(World phone). Add one more thing that I can use block keys "FN". When I press "FN" is light but it does not work at all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
Ok Sense users, I need an opinion. It sounds like many people dislike HTC Messaging. Amarullz has created a Sense messaging mod that does a couple things.

- Allows the classic messaging interface to be compatible with Sense. That way it used system wide instead of HTC Messaging.

and

- It replaces the messaging module on the SMS tab in Sense. Without this mod, that tab breaks if you don't have HTC Messaging.

If you open the SMS tab and tap on a message from Bob, your whole conversation with Bob will open in the Sense tab with Amarull's plugin. You can use his plugin to send a reply just like with HTC messaging (look at the link for a screenshot). If you open messaging from anywhere else (or click the All Messages button in the Sense SMS tab) the classic windows messaging interface opens.

The catch is that his mod does not allow the SMS tab to rotate. If you open a conversation in the Sense tab then open the keyboard, all you get is a blank screen with the two soft buttons at the bottom. You need to click All Messages to open the classic windows interface to type a reply with the hardware keyboard.

Sorry if this isn't clear, but the way it works is kind of confusing. Ask away if you have specific questions about it. Anyway...at the moment, it's not possible to switch between the two with a cab. I have to cook either the mod or HTC Messaging in. I am working on creating a cab for HTC Messaging, but I'm not trying very hard :D

I don't want to maintain two branches of the Sense ROM, so I wanted to see if everyone had a preference for what version of messaging should be in the next release. What do you think?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jgaviota:
First of all, thanks for making this rom. I flashed it today and I like it a lot! :D

You are right that HTC messaging is sloooooooooow

I'll use it a couple of days and see if I get frustrated with it

Thanks again for the rom, I was getting tiered of MS
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] zepaly:
Sense

I think that the performance of Sense is proportional to the size of cemail.vol. When restoring contacts and messages i didn't realize that a years worth of messages would be so much information. When i cleared sms / mms in winmo's messaging program, everything in Sense worked instantaneously. Check the size of the file: cemail.vol in the system memory root folder, my file was 1.8mb, is now 200kb.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] palkens:
hey i got next question;]

what is the name of the default screen kaybord in your rom?

have you it with cab or sth?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dinky:
It's Finger Keyboard 2.1. You can find it here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Hemant:
Xawen,

Thanks for your effort, though i too love the HTC messaging very much but i dont mind trying the new Amarullz hack.

Please note that you are doing a very good job and i hope a lack of no response doesnt discourage you as we feel the rom is quite fast, stable and battery life is decent and none of the issues are too major to be reported.

Cheers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dinky:
I too, love the ROM very much. Unfortunately I don't text much, and I can't type fast, so the performance of HTC messaging doesn't really bother me. I don't think I'm in a position to make any suggestion. I just want to show that we are not ignoring the chef's request, but we just don't have any preference over this.

But again, lack of feedback might mean that the majority of us don't have preference on this either. Maybe the problem only bothers few of those who can type very fast (well, we don't see their feedback either). I guess a better way to get the truth is to post a vote. At least that can tell us how many of us have preference on the issue. Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lantern20:
I stick with the base ROM, I don't particularly care for Sense or the HTC Messaging. Titanium is quick and stable for me.

Thanks Xawen!

spb 3D mail viewer incompatibility

@xawen,

Something happens when a rom is cooked with the programatix interceptor fix that messes up the spb Windows Mobile Shell 3.5.1 3D mail reader.

Even if the interceptor.lnk file is removed from \Windows\StartUp\ (or I install interceptor and then remove), there is something left behind that makes the 3D mail reader think it needs to place its lower toolbar higher on the screen. The result is you get two different toolbars; the lower one at the bottom of the screen is active and a second slightly smaller "phantom" toolbar is inactive. Net result is that the mail panes is only about 2/3 its normal size.

At first I thought it was a HTC Sense + Interceptor interaction, but it is happenning on the latest 28004 basic ROM as well.

NOTE: It is not limited to your ROM...the same thing is happenning on the latest 28008 builds from NRGZ28 (Energy ROMs) as he switched to interceptor from amarullz's position fix!

Makes the latest builds partly unusable for me:(, as I have never been able to quickly delete emails (without opening the full mail reader) from the tab reader in either M2.1 or M2.5!

Nice and stable builds, however!

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xawen:
I'm telling you, SPB deciding to use the Manila window class for Mobile Shell has caused more problems... Amarullz's position fix doesn't work with MS3 at all, that's why I switched to Interceptor.

Are you sure that Interceptor.exe is not running at all after you removed the .lnk from startup? It should be uninstallable in the ROM so you don't need to manually remove files. It listed as Programmatix Interceptor in the remove programs list. Try pulling it out that way and see if it changes. If not, I'll install MS3 later today and try it.

A clue for fixing the LockScreen Delay and fix Chinese Displaying in Dialer

Hi, Xawen

Regarding to the LockScreen takes 1-2 second to become responsive problem, you might want to take a look at one of mindfrost82's thread at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=527219

And by the way, I've been having Chinese displaying problem with your latest ROMs. The Chinese characters displays fine in regular applications, but not in dialer, nor in the pop-up menus (like the Input Switching Menu). My Chinese Contact Names show up in the dialer like bunch of rectangle blocks. And a thread from "Kaiser ROM development" forum seemed fixed this problem. See here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558285

and then search the page for "Chinese Font Thanks to chteh0721".

Thanks for your great effort of making the ROM, Xawen. I used to be a loyal RRE ROM user, and now I'm your fan.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dinky:
I don't think we should hold the chef responsible for Chinese display problem. After all, this is meant to be a WWE ROM. I think you chose the Chinese support poorly. I use Ricky's Chinese font support from here (I use RickyMSYH6.0Full.cab) all the time and on this ROM too with no problem. Just install the cab and soft reset, you should be fine. My Chinese IME input methods show up in SIP choice list in Chinese. I tried to create a contact in Chinese and call that contact, the contact name shows up in dialer in Chinese fine. I suggest you to try other alternatives for your Chinese display solution. Good luck.

flipz(mode) and freshlyill are proud to release: Fresh Rom for CDMA HTC Hero (Sprint) 1.1!

A new year release! :)

[Home Page] [Downloads] [FAQ] [Fixes] [Known Issues] [News]

Special thanks to the testers / motivators. From xda: n0j, 702droid, toastcfh, abcdfv, 27s, kcarpenter. And from ppcgeeks: thacounty, athlet1c. And of course everyone else!

Base: RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release (Now built off the official RUU!)

Tested with: recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2

Flashing this rom should keep all of your personal settings and should not wipe anything but you are doing it at your own risk. I make no promises on what may happen to your device and your data. This also means that unlike winmo, it's not going to look different after you flash. It will look just as it was before hand.

Requirements:

A rooted CDMA HTC Hero by Sprint. RA's recovery loaded on. If you have any questions on that then please visit one of the other various threads on here about how to root your phone.

How to use it:

0. Create a nandroid backup!

1. Copy this rom (do not unzip) to the root of your sdcard using one of the various methods.

2. Go to the recovery program by either typing "reboot recovery" from an adb shell or by powering off the phone and holding Home while you power it on.

3. Scroll down to "Apply sdcard: choose zip" and select the zipped rom. Press the home button to confirm you want to write it.

4. After it finishes (takes several minutes) click "Reboot system now".

Bugs? Questions? Comments? Ideas? Please post here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
my rant about apps2sd:

**My note about Apps2SD: I added support for it in this release of the rom because people who were using it in other roms that tried to install this rom were receiving errors. Here's my point of view on it.

I played with it for over 8 hours today between implementing it and then testing it to make sure this fix would work. I have personally come to not like apps2sd, but I am including it for those who use it.

The reason I don't like it is because it puts your phone at a huge risk of having problems once anything goes wrong. If you install a program that causes issues, a nandroid backup will not resolve the issue because the application is installed on your SD card not your phone. If your phone starts going crazy as reported here and here, then even just a restore possibly won't fix it. You might need to go as far as to wipe your SD card too. If you are lucky enough to have a restore fix your problems you will still need to reinstall every app, even if you didn't wipe your card. And on top of that when you try to reinstall any app it will think it's still installed, even though you restored your phone. But when you click "uninstall" it will just freeze half the time because there's nothing on the phone for it to actually install. I have also read many threads that say if you happen to boot the phone up without the SD card in then it will screw everything up.

So now maybe you are wondering why I would add Apps2SD support in this rom. In order for people who are currently using Apps2SD to upgrade to this rom I must support it or require them to do a hard reset before coming to fresh. Clearly I don't want you to have to reset so I have supported it. With that said: I personally recommend not using it. This rom will auto-use it if your SD card is formatted for it (fat32+ext2+swap partitions) but it won't use it if you are only partitioned as 1 fat32. My suggestion is to stick to the 1 partition and let your applications install on the phone. Linux is not like Windows in the sense that it will run the same whether you phone has 140 megs free of storage space or 10 megs free. So unless you plan on installing 100 apps, I don't see the practical purposes of using Apps2SD. But a lot of people like it.

Now with all of THAT said -- this rom officially has and supports Apps2SD. :) It is a program that I think has the possibility of being great, but has to work within the confines of the phone which means tricking Android in to thinking that the applications are installed on the phone when they aren't. That is what leads to all the problems mentioned above.

freaking sprint.... I tell ya... I love their customer service... coverage... phone plans... price..... and phones.... but holy mother of god do their updates just freaking suck.... how long did it take for the first "good" instinct update? like 6 months? Made the phone somewhat useable but still lacking... ugh

good to hear it's comming though

EDIT:

=/ was hoping to see barebone stock android, vanillia or whatever which way you wanna call it untwist senceUI out of it...... but I'll still check it out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] freshlyill:
lol. yeah.. they aren't exactly the best when it comes to pushing updates.

here's the thread if you wanna check it out: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/24397?tstart=0

Anyone else having an issue installing apps from the Market? Mine just stay stuck at "Starting download"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel556:
If your rom contains the OTA updated files then why in the world did you perform the OTA update before flashing to your rom?

Does anyone else find it strange that MoDaCo's rom thread was stickied on the first day, yet Fresh Rom which has a much more active release cycle/developer has failed to receive a sticky after many days at the top of the forum?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gqukyo:
Doh, the OP was modified and the instructions to push the apps are gone. I'm no linux user and the only thing i can remember is the adb push command but I'm getting a permission denied error. Can someone let me know how I can get the write access to push back the apps that were removed? thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Do adb remount first to get write access.

Then push the files you want into /system/app and reboot.
