Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIL7tXnlEKU

- courtesy of kenfly

update: thanks to chuckhriczko we have an update.zip. googlebits included, livewallpapers are running, except for nexus ones, this is working on the AOSP 2.0.1 build, includes the new music app, youtube, new 3d gallery, its slow and glitchy but it does load,launcher2 is installed but just gives a black screen and force closes, most likely due to lack of openGL but the still wallpapers from it work!!!and updated host scripts to block ads.

Wipe, flash and enjoy.

Update:

i have the nexus LWP to sit on loading, no longer force closes, i have the nexus themed launcher installed, flan clock app, gumbo kernal installed, protected apps showing in market, will upload new version once i get super users to work right
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] the_miker:
Awesome! Can't wait for a release.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tyrnight:
so.. opengl is working? on 2.1? at least it was my understanding that is what was needed..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] swaze:
I think this is a 2.0.1 ROM, not 2.1 but I could be mistaken.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
its 2.0.1, openGL is needed for the 3d gallery, not lwp
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lilzone:
Looks real nice, can't wait for this one.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jvz555:
Nice, but i tried AOP 2.0.1 and its too glitchy plus i hate the keyboard
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
That is sweet I would deal with vanilla Android (i like sence) to be able to use that.

Keep up the good work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ELIMINATED:
So when we get updated to Eclair sometime in the not to distant future this will be a feature that we can use?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 702DROID:
hows your batt life with that running ???
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
batt life is not bad, although i havent kept them constantly running, trying to figure out the nexus papers
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Leukay:
It looked like it put some serious lag when switching between the three homescreens. Did you experience that, or was it just from the quality of the video? Nonetheless, that is sweet
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
Thats my question too. How much lag does this add?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
there was a little lag wit the digital rain (matrix) wallpaper
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
i am going to try to compile a update.zip later today, will include, AOSP build, googlebits,roaming fix, and livewallpapers
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:
Very cool! I am looking forward to trying this out.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
Awesome. We all will be looking forward to it. I do need to ask, is it possible to get this on the Hero 2.1 build that's floating around or are the files that need to be modified hacked to hell by HTC in those roms?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rustyman14:
Is the camera and gps working on this build????
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jonnythan:
How is it that someone who can figure out how to get that running on his Hero has no idea how to get a camera to focus on something? :P
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PikkonX:
Does the Google Voice app work correctly on 2.0.1? That's the one issue that's prevented me from using the 2.1 ROM on a daily basis.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
i honestly havent tried it on 2.1, due to sense hogging up all the memory, i tried it on AOSP build because it is vanilla. maybe after i get the nexus lwp working i will attempt 2.1
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
GPS is spotty and the cam does not work
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
havent tried it, i will look into it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
I already run this ROM whenever I dont feel like having Sense, so I am super pumped! Great work, man. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
whoever can assist with making this a rom or a update zip pm me and let me know, i dont have the time or resources to do it right now, but if you can help we can get this out sooner
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
or i could just post a nand back up, if you want it let me know
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
i want it. just post it i need to figure out how to make a update.zip anyway lol..

or just upload the nandroid backup either way, my gf is all excited about seeing this in action

please
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
ok i sent to a few select individuals, hopefully a update zip can be made and the thread will be updated with the dl link
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] magicalan:
send it to me tooo omg :p
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zippy-man:
I someone sends me the files i should be able to make an update.zip with them.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
So I made this update.zip last night. I was waiting for phonetec to post the link but until then, enjoy. Note, for some reason only the cube wallpaper worked so I downloaded all the generic live wallpaper (read: not the ones about all the soccer teams) from the market and included them. The starfield is my favorite :)

Also, this rom has all the Google bits, Youtube and an updated hosts file to block ads while browsing. Phonetec also included Launcher2.apk but don't use it because it crashes. He also included a music player which seems to work.

Just wipe, flash and enjoy.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ELIMINATED:
So it wont work with Sense or say Fresh 1.0 or 1.1? Any way someone could get it to work?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
No go on the Fresh thing. Live Wallpapers relies on libs that only 2.x has. Could possibly work with Sense but I doubt it. Im happy with my AOSP until I get tired of it and move back to Sense. It's a cycle. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] magicalan:
so this one only 1 wallpaper works? also.. only with 2.0.1 ? what about 2.1? and hmm were is the rom i cant ffind it only 1.6..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] washjayb:
Thanks for the zip. This Rom is awesome, but i just cant do away with sense. Nothing beats my emails displayed on a home screen. Ill be using this afterhours (whenever that is). To everyone responsible- Thanks- This is why i have not had a non HTC phone in 4 years.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
No. I included wallpapers downloaded from the market. The rom I uploaded is AOSP 2.0.1.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] magicalan:
ooo thats the whole rom lol and hmm any problems? :S
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
No. It's the same as the other AOSP 2.0.1 rom only I pre included the Google bits, Youtube, Maps and the Live Wallpapers courtesy of Phonetec.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ced 8525:
is there a way to use the htc sync to get my contacts back
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] magicalan:
the nexus moving wallpaper doesnt work :( the one with the dots.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gu1dry:
No, but why don't just push all your contacts to Google & sync them OTA?

It's was already stated that the N1 Live Wallpapers don't work at this time.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gu1dry:
HTC Sync is most likely pushing your contacts to either Address Book, Outlook or Windows Contacts (I'm not a 100% on that due to not using HTC Sync). So all you have to do is locate them, export the contacts within the program as a CSV (there is usually an option under File), then log into your Google acct (Gmail or GVoice), go into your settings, Import & Export tab & then just import the CSV.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ced 8525:
anyone got metamorph to work on this. It tells me my phone is not rooted..wtf
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kraminc:
I get the same thing with Wifi tether. I am also unable to install gentle alarm, Locale, and Weatherbug elite
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
To make LWP work Phonetec needed to change the build.prop to read SDK number 7. That may have something to do with it. I don't see why it would but it might.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
AOSP build doesnt have superuser permissions, that may be what your issue is, su works fine for me in adb
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] magicalan:
itried installing metamorph and all of this nothing worked :(

also edit

it dint live alot the battery i went to sleep for like 3 hours and i had it charged full and battery died lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
For the battery did you have google sync enabled? If so thats why. With AOSP you need to disable sync until we get it fixed.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gbhil:
Haven't tried this ROM, but from the sounds of things you 'll need to move su from /system/xbin to /system/bin while in recovery, then install busybox.

Someone have a look on their phone and see where su is, and if the [ and [[ symlinks are in /system/xbin. If not-

reboot into recovery, shell in and

cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
ls /system/bin *verify the move*
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su *just in case*
rm /system/xbin/su

boot the phone, shell in

su
whoami
**should return** whoami: unknown uid 0

Then if needed, install busybox

busybox --install /system/xbin

Then try tether, metamorph etc.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
I tried this out yesterday when I got home and the wallpapers are sweet but wow is slllllllooooooowwwww. and the gallery didnt work at all for me.

but nice job on getting the wallpapers to work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
Don't forget to mount the system partition first if you're in recovery.

adb shell mount /system

Then follow gbhil's instructions.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
I guess I forgot to mention, the gallery will go very slow until we get OpenGL working on this rom. Might be soon with the new kernel that maejrep just got booted and is working on though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kraminc:
I had the issue where sync wouldnt stop also. I just waited till I knew everything was backed up and went to cancel sync. Left everything checked and havent had an issue with the battery yet. The live wallpapers do draw alot of power.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
I havent really noticed any slowdown or battery drain. I mean, I am using starfield but it keeps running at normal speed and no noticeable battery drain.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] intx:
Starfield live wallpaper with 10000 stars, no background stars and 5 speed = runs excellent, virtually no slowdown and looks awesome.

Very impressed with this, and I'm a big sense guy. I wish this was available on sense, that'd be killer.

But awesome job :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kykiskly:
Question

Is there anyway to get Live Wallpaper alone push to AOSP 2.0.1? Why do we have to do a full update?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
They had to change the framework to get the lwp to work. That's why you have to update there are major changes to the whole. filesystem.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kykiskly:
Re

Ugrr that sucks, and I really love my phone the way it is operating now.

I guess I will give it a try later on once they get the based Google wallpaper to work :)

I am really in love with that one, could care less about the rest.

---- ohh------

How about creating a stand alone update just to optimize the framework that will allow live wp to run. I still dont like the idea of doing ANOTHER swipe and then applying a new ROM.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
Actually, you can. I thought Phonetec modified a lot of files but really it was just a few. You need the apks, modify the build.prop to be sdk 7 and add the trout and sapphire build.prop files. I will post a guide later. No time now though. Sorry.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kykiskly:
Pm me once you do it. No rush though

Many thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kraminc:
Well I was able to get Wifi Tether to work by rerooting the phone. Some how flashing this rom unrooted the phone. Still trying to figure out why the other apps just fail while trying to install. Could it have something to do with them being protected apps?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
Correction. The phone is still rooted. I need to move su and install superuser.apk. and. Installed busybox.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kraminc:
I have done this several times. After i am unable to use tether. Reroot and tether works. Still fails to install the other apps though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
What I'm saying is the phone is still rooted. Android itself just doesnt have superuser permissions enabled. Just trying to clarify so nobody thinks this bricks their phone or anything. Thats all.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
are we going to be able to upload an updated zip with SU included?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] eldiablito004:
omg all the live wallpapers look nice...too bad only 3 work, the box, the matrix and the nintendo NES duck! lol:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
you know there widgets for that? "Pure Messenger Widget"

I have three of them set up SMS, Facebook/twitter (two on one), and then email
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
That's true. Pure Messenger Widget is pretty nice. And it was made by someone here at XDA, wasn't it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tom3k:
just replaced aosp 20 yesterday and i have to say i cant tell much of a difference in the performance. again as mentioned earlier, starfield runs great. the side to side motion is pretty fluid while it is running. the gallery app is do-able to set a wallpaper. u have to toy with it. at one point i even got it to load an entire page of thumbnails rather quickly (then it fc'd :rolleyes:) u have to get into a gallery and when it loads and you are looking at a fuzzy screen just blindly tap somewhere on the middle. this should take you to where you can view the image. i have been able to "slide" through pics here as well as set wallpapers. i have not tried to crop or upload anything. roaming message isnt here. havent tried voicemail. hold *to the phone batman* regular voice mail goes to helio for me. so yea pretty good overall... i am going to run it for a few days. great job btw. despite it being almost impossible htc widgets would be the icing.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
go in to settings, call settings, change the voicemail number to your phone number,
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
i did a review on the rom on youtube. this forum is not letting me post links since i am new user. just look up AOSP 2.0.1 Rom CDMA Hero review with Live Wallpapers.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] whatsleft4her:
does anyone know if we can add sence ui on to this rom?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
no u cannot put sense on this, if you want sense, use the 2.1 build
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
i checked out the review, good job
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] whatsleft4her:
can you post a link?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darchstar:
I not trying to sound mean, but is it too hard to check through the first page of threads or the sticky wiki of roms before asking for links.?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] whatsleft4her:
since he knew the exact rom he was talking about i figured id ask for a link and not get the wrong rom, my bad next time ill follow your rules and not ask someones advice in a forum...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
It's in the sticky that says ROMS.

We have three stickies so the chances are high that you'll get it the first try.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
thanks. if you or someone could post the link to my vid that would be great. :):)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIL7tXnlEKU

heres the link, may update 1st post with it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
im betting it's horrid.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gu1dry:
If you had read the thread you would have found out that most people haven't noticed really any battery life difference.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rcor:
how did you uninsalled it? I didnt do a nandroid backup, now im stuck with AOP. thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darchstar:
You mean AOSP? Do you have any other previous nandroid backups? also, you could go to a different rom by first going into recovery, wiping your phone, then applying a different rom update.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ELIMINATED:
I like the Sense UI. Is there any chance of getting this running on say Fresh 1.0 or 1.1?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darchstar:
I may be wrong, but im pretty certain live wallpapers depend on eclair builds, meaning only 2.0+. So the answer is no.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
my best guess is finding a link online to a totally clean 1.56 whatever sprint is at with their hero version right now and updating to that. obviously wip-ing first.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ko0pa11:
picture mail doesn't seem to be downloading...am i the only one?

or was this stated already and i missed the read?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kraminc:
Yep same problem here
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
i third that. nopicture mail downloading. sending seems to work. just always get error when downloading
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
known issue of the aosp build, i got the nexus live wallpapers to not force close, but they just sit on loading, the polar clock works though, still working on the others
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
Thats badass. Keep us posted on this!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ko0pa11:
really nice to hear that...i was thinkin that this rom got forgotten for a sec or something, really happy with this rom btw
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
still working on this...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
updated....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
Anyone know where i can get the 2.1 lockscreen?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
hey phonetec

Whats "gumbo kernal"?

google didnt help me on this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625940
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
didnt really help much. i just want an explanation. thanks though
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
the kernel is basically what the phone is it is the frame that everything software wise is build around. it is basically the phones programing at the core level. the "gumbo" kernel is just tweaked a little bit more than the stock one to help speed things up and help with power.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darchstar:
The kernel isn't what the phone is. Lol. It's basically the intermediary that communicates the hardware with the software. there's a diagram in wikipedia which helps visualize it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
this helped. i just didnt know what the Gumbo part meant.:)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
Will the next release have openGL?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Street_Knowledge:
played around with this for a little bit yesterday, man i am looking forward to the complete version.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darchstar:
The Gumbo part is just the name the person who compiled the kernel gave to his kernel. nothing special.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
are we close to a breakthrough with the superusers?

is this rom dead now are we not working on this anymore? because this was by far my favorite rom.it would be best with the voice to text option in the keyboard.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rogerbean101:
would this work on da fresh rom?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
Hit the back button....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
nah im j/k, it wont work on 1.5 regardless, due to sdk version
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
i LOL'ed at this
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
You can always change the SDK version in the build.prop
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kenfly:
So what's the status on this ROM so far? I very much appreciate updates every so often. =]
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dyarn:
I was hoping someone whould help me out here. I'm looking for a program that does the same thing iStake does but for Pocket PC, not iPhone/Pod. I'm a huge HTC fan and love all the work here at XDA. I wish I knew more about programming so I could help out.

Any help with this would be great.

Is there plans to implement sorting by different fields in the future? Cause sorting by First Name then Last Name is not cutting it for my business contacts.

Is there any workaround?
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
I'm looking on the market now to see if there are any 3rd party contact managing apps. However, I wanted to point out that Android's contacts menu is googly as ever, and you should be able to type out (hold menu to bring up the soft KB at any time) just a few letters of the contact's name to select them.

Edit: I haven't tested this, and it says it's not fully compatible with Android 2.0, but I think you want aContacts. It's on the Android Market

From the description:
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
The search through typing doesnt look at the company field unfortunately, so for now I'm just omitting the first/last name fields and putting my salespersons name in the notes field. =/

I'd be nice if they had a "sort by this field" option similart to the "make this number default" option for multiple numbers.

You can choose to show specific groups...but thats more time consuming than its worth imo.
[General Questions and Answers] o2cool:
Quick question, Can someone tell me why a rom such as CyanogenMOD runs slower (even though it pushes the processor to its limit) than the stock G1 rom? Is there a rom out that is built for speed?
[HD2 General] northernneil:
Ok, so it came first thing this morning. I've spent the last few days reading up on the forum, and was wanting to flash a new rom (for the customised screens etc)

Now, I know I'm a NOOB in the biggest sense of the word when it comes to WM but some of the abbreviations in the guides are confusing me, can someone please explain them to me, or excatley what i need to be doing (just until i work my way round a bit!)

I know that there's a noobs guide, and i have read it honest, but i don't wanna be bricking it!

Pwweeease?
[HD2 General] barty22:
Make sure you have windows mobile device center installed on your pc. Connect the hd2 via usb to your computer (with the cable included with your hd2) and wait until windows mobile device center says it is connected.

To put an official rom on your hd2, download the rom and run the .exe included in the package. Follow the steps onscreen and you're done.

To put a custom rom on your hd2, you need to flash hardspl first. Steps are explained in detail here . Basically it involves connecting your hd2 to the pc, running the hardspl .exe file on your pc, and following the onscreen steps. Then that is done, and you will have to run the .exe file included in the custom rom package, and follow the onscreen steps again. To be safe you won't have any bugs, do a hard reset of your hd2 just after flashing the custom rom. Look here how to do that, it is explained at nr. 15. Pretty easy :)

good luck
[HD2 General] barty22:
if you make sure your hd2 battery doesn't run out (higher than 50% is usually said), and you make sure your pc doesn't shut down or do anything weird while updating, and you don't disconnect the cable while you are flashing, chances are practically 0 you will brick it.

What abbreviations are confusing you?
[HD2 General] northernneil:
Cheers for the quick reply mate, i don't wanna come across as a complete knob (although i probably am already!)

TBH, it was things like hardspl and the other one, sspl or something?

If i put a customised ROM on it, is there any way of going back or is that it then?

Also, is windows 6.5.3 worth it? It's new out of the box, so have no idea whats what yet.

What, if any roms would people suggest? Also, do push notifications for twitter and facebook work? I've found already that the stock FB app that comes with it doesn't let you see people's comments on status's etc

All very confusing so far, but I'm still not reaching for the iphone back.....Yet!
[HD2 General] gabbs:
best to check what you have got on the device before you start upgrading..lol

when my phone arrived most of the updates from htc were on it already..
