@Stickman89

Hello

I had my Hero on Modaco's 3.1 Rom, than I have heard about this SenseHero, and 2 days ago, i have flashed it with this 1.4 Rom. I took the latest update that u have send.

It looks very good.

Before flashing the Rom, I wiped my Hero with 'Home+Back+Red' buttons. I had no problems except double 'Spare Parts' icon. I uninstalled it from 'Settings>Applications>Manage applications'.. than it was every thing fine. Every thing is perfect, look is nice, speed... no need to talks about it... my Hero just feel different... much better... I am again amazed with android :)

You have done a very good job, and we want to thank u for it... u made our lives 'faster' with your SenseHero :) :D

Although, I have noticed till now one thing that u maybe forgot or oversaw... when u put the phone in landscape and want to write something, when the keyboard pops up, the border of the text box becomes GREEN like it was in the Modaco rom, and when u want to select the text the color is also GREEN. I don't know if that is a problem from the same theme that u are using in this, or you did not see it, and no one told you about that...

I can see that u have already released the new SenseHero 1.5 version, I haven't flash my Hero with that yet, I am waiting little bit, to see if every thing is fine. When u give us a green light that u have fixed almost every thing I will flash my Hero and test it closely and give u the feed...

One more thing, is there a way for WiFi to work normally like every other phone?! Since I have bought my Hero last year, I have noticed that the WiFi is a problem here. It shows that it is connected but when I try to open a page or download something it says that the connection is lost or something.

Thanks for everything. Wish u the best

Hamo :D

Edit:

And another things... what about Bluetooth data transfer between androids, and between android and other devices... is it fixed?

How can I make my Hero read Arabic in all programs and when I brow the internet?

I downloaded 'SMS' program from the Market, but with that program I can read Arabic SMS only. I need my phone to recognize Arabic fonts every where. even in web browser.

Thanks a lot

Do we have to a wipe if were upgrading from sensehero 1.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
I have a new redesigned bootscreen coming to reflect the beauty of sensehero, it being a dark theme the bootscreen will be a black with animated sensehero text, I will pop a preview up soon, I agree a white bootscreen against a dark theme just doesn't do it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rhunt123:
Hi Stickman89,

Thank you very much for creating another super slick rom. I've been using it since 1.4 and am very pleased with it :)

I updated to 1.5 last night (full wipe) and everything seems to be fine. However, I noticed that the 2G only option no longer appeared in the Mobile network settings (under Wireless controls). Is there any chance to incorporate that particular option again?

Many thanks again for producing such a good rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leon912:
any mirror?

i can't access to (http://www.mediafire.com):(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skhbbss:
the "use on 2G networks" in mobile network settings seems missing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nysos:
Could you bring this back? It's a pain if it's missing as it's the only fast way to get around this bug http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2207

(switching back to 2G and then 3G restores the data connection)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
doesn't look to good for you. the option was never included in the base rom 2.73.771.73, as it is a 3 customised rom. since 3 doesn't have a 2g network this option was removed, since paul didn't manage to bring it back i don't think it is gonna happen... at least not without the sources.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rhunt123:
I'm pretty sure that option was in the SenseHero 1.4 rom but correct me if I'm wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
@fre4k - no problem I will create an additional update.zip which you can flash after flashing the Rom to enable other languages, I will get that done today for you when i have time and update post 1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
I think all the devs should do this, create their customized rom with whatever it is they would like removed and provide additional update.zip packages for the user to customize to their liking and also to add multi language support ofcoarse In update.zip form.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fre4k:
Thx man :) that would be great
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
nice theme
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dudeldei:
I've been using 2.1-roms for a while now and decided to try this 1.5 rom.

I must say, it's really nice to have a rom with such good performance! I guess I will miss some 2.1 features, but for now, I will try to stick with this one for a while.

It would've been nice with "Norwegian Locale" if possible (reffering to post's above regarding an update.zip)

Good job! And thank you very much for your effort.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
Just flash my hero and i've been flashing almost everyday to find the perfect rom for me and i finally found it......thanks keep up the good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
No problem I will see what I can whip up for you, all additional update.zip packages will be posted on the first post when completed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
well, unless stickman has found a new trick to add locales he will probably provide just morelocale as update.zip. imho not that good of an idea, as you will be missing updates. better to install it through market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thanito:
This is the best looking 1.5 rom I ve seen so far!

I still havent flashed my hero,but im about to,until 2.1 update comes out.

This rom includes configured internal task manager,right?

Apps2sd?

Is this rom pre-rooted?i mean,when i flash it will my phone be automatically rooted?

And finally,what about benchmarks?have u run any tests?

Thank you for your rom!

Cheers,

T.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
@Kendong2 - Thankyou Kendong tbh i didnt think that far ahead but you are right you will be unable to update if i take that process, sorry my brains not functioning to well this morning :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
@thanito

#1 - Configured Internal Task Manager Included? - Yes

#2 - Apps2sd? - Yes

#3 - Pre-rooted? - Yes

#4 - Benchmark Results? - Have not had the time yet, will asap.

I will post this in the 1st post as i am sure many would like these questions answered.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPappy86:
Benchmark results

All benchmark run twice.

Softweg benchmark:

- Graphic: 118

- CPU: 163

- Memory: 141

- Filesystem: 34

Linpack benchmark:

- 2.37 Mflops/s
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Thankyou Wenner for providing the benchmarks, much appreciated :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPappy86:
No problem. :)

If you need a beta tester or something else pm me. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
One of the nicest looking themes I've seen. I'm going to try this today.

Keep up the good work! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
How does the apps2sd works ?

what should i do to configure it??

will the apps on the sd be updated in marked??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] haruryu:
perfect rom! iam sticking with this one! thank you so much
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPappy86:
Wipe your device

Partition the sd card to ext3 or ext4 and the remaining to fat32.

Flash the rom and thats all, because the apps2sd is full automatic.

This rom based MCR3.2 Beta 5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thanito:
Thanx for your quick reply my friend!

Well, the benchmarks dont impress me much, but i really like your rom so i will try it soon enough :D

(i'm saying not impress me much, since i ran softweg in my stock rom and the results were

Graphic: 117

CPU: 162

Memory: 145

Filesystem: 35

Linpack:2,34)

I was hoping that this custom rom would be much quicker, but ITS STILL A WINNER:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPappy86:
I used stock rom and i dont like it.

Which rom better? Use it and you see why I use for example this rom. :)

In stock rom not include apps2d or compcache (I think).

No matter what the numbers said. Custom rom much quicker and stable and beautiful.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blaxican21:
yup. im still on 1.4 and i have 2g only option
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mltsui:
Anyway to port a HTC CIME into this ROM so that there is Chinese handwriting input method for selection?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
And 3 do have a 2g network (or did until recently) as they used to hi-jack Orange's 2g network (with permission of course :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
If we're happy with 1.4 is there any real need to update to 1.5? Mine is working pretty much perfectly at the moment.

The only issue I have is the launcher highlight / fade is missing when in All Programs menus.

Going by the change log for 1.5... I think some of the things I liked about 1.4 have been removed or changed.

-blue highlights

-notification bar

-dialler

-bootscreen

Ideally I'd like to keep the look and feel of 1.4, but with any perfomance tweaks or bug fixes from 1.5 and future versions.

Is this possible?

Cheers,

Lee
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Good morning...

Yep, this issue is still around. From time to time i get the problem of "touch". With the keyboard for example, it start to go crazy and confused and does not let me choose the letters, it choose other letter by itself. Same with choosing an app, not able to open the wanted app by pressing it, instead it opens another one from far bellow :-) and sometimes it does not react at all.

To go around it i just press the power button to make it go "sleep", and then power up again, and it works again then.

Didn't have this issue before, came from Modaco 3.2 Beta5. Did a wipe like instructed, flashed the rom (when this problem first came up at reboot), shot down-flashed the flipping clock.. and even did your "tips" section.

Any idea?

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPappy86:
Some problems

First some programs will not start. I install it from the market or other sources and notz start.

Why are you integrate the wavesecure? I dont like it. Please remove it and put in the addon pack zip. If somebody want it just flash the update pack.

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Yeah I should be able to bring it back, I will report back wth an update ASAP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Thankyou for those experiencing issues for reporting them I will look into them asap, also I will look to change certain disliked aspects of Sensehero 1.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
double post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
Stickman, is it possible to get the 1.4 look with the 1.5 performance? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
Yeah so it will be really easy for the "finder" of the phone to remove it :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Yes no problem, apologies guys :( I have no idea what went on there, sensehero 1.5 has been pulled for a rework, would you prefer the old notifications header, I personally think the new header fits in better.

I have put the 1.4 link back on the first post and then 1.5 will be uploaded tonight with new fixes and 1.4 look. Please revert to sensehero 1.4 for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
i would prefer with no 3party application in it & left over is those for speed & stability application e.g like spare parts, overclock.... other apps will prefer self installation. many thanks to stickman for this art.

in 1.4 only problem i found is:

i always listen to music almost half of the day at work xD

how can i have the english/chinese keyboard as the original have it? not by always have to switch from the locale to use it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] haruryu:
Yes please. if you can, please leave these things :) because of those things, this ROM was different and special :)

thank you for your work!

greetz, Haru
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iPasta:
Are you going to add other languages? I really love your rom but I would love it much more with german language :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Just came back from jogging with music, (1.5) and it rebooted few times.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
jogging.... your phone giddy x_X" (just kidding)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
@Stickman89

Thanks for your art work... its realy nice... I have send u already post twice today. Hope u have red it.

keep the good work.

I hope its not a problem to give u an advice, while u r making the 1.5v with 1.4v look, please chek the box borders when u put the phone into landskape mode and popup the keyboard.. it turns back to green like in stock theme, and text boxes in the internet browser... and the indicator that pops up at the bottom of an internet page while loading is also green.

Thanks for Good work

Hamo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
hey guys i loved this rom excellent stuff real fast and looks good. But sadly for some reason market or any google app wouldnt work....it keeps saying network error over wifi...but other apps such as the browser or wavesecure seem to connect flawlessly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whepper:
I've encountered no issues yet with 1.5, but haven't used the features some ppl have issues with. It's really fast. I think I prefer the new (classic HTC) notification header, but would love to see some of the blue colors back, instead of green. :cool:

Any release date for the fixed 1.5? Thx! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karma0321:
I agree, i did not upgrade because i read of the return to the green layout.. and because i find the 1.4 the best rom i've been using since i have got my hero.. then no need to change.. so one vote more to keep the blue layout. Actually it makes no difference to me either the old or the new notification bar.

My 2 cents. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whepper:
I do like the new boot animation. Although nicely done, I would prefer a version without the 'loading' animation. :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
I will try my best to get the fixed 1.5 up tonight, yes the blue frames and system buttons will be back :D

I removed them temporarily so i could clean them up, they were coming back in a incremental update for 1.5 anyway ^^,

I will add my new boot screen animation as a optional addon, also the build 1.5 build will be released with only the needed files so no additional applications, there will be a optional addon package for the additional applications for those who want them, does this sound good?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPappy86:
jep this sound gooooooood :)

i will wait for it! :D

thx for your hard work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Hey anyone seen the copycat roms in xda now using SenseHero? :(

Hope it doesn't put anyone off my development, they came accross very rudely when asking for the theme.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPappy86:
copy link please
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPappy86:
You are the first developers who use sensehero.

Nobody like the second :D :D

Your work is a good work, and i like it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Villarous:
Just wanted to say that iam sticking to your ROM due fast fixes, and cause you seem to be a great guy. Looking forward to your next update. I still enjoy the first version :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blaxican21:
+1 :)

i wouldn't worry about them mait.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whepper:
Thanks! Excellent work and plans. :) I like your idea of releasing optional addons. Don't worry about the copycats.. your rom is amazingly fast and stable and you're very communicative towards the community. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Im on a mission!! Gotta deodex all system app apks from 1.5 to fix some issues in 1.4 to bring to the re-release of 1.5 ahhh, booting my linux machine to deodex and on my windows machine to work on other fixes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
wicked just found a deodexer for windows... turning off linux machine.

Wow this is a nice script, saving me a lot of time :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
good job... don't forget to make all text box borders in blue instead of green...

and try to fix the Hero WiFi, if it is posible. :cool:

keep the good work ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Replace wifi icon with stock wifi icon?

Also trying to track down the problematic text frame...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
not the icon... the icon in OK, but the WiFi is disconnecting... the indicator shows that it is connected but when u try to surf the internet the browser says that the connection is lost... I am not sure what the problem is, but it is hunting me since I bought the Hero...

cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dabrown:
Hello Stickman,

Got to say that I hardly comment on these forums, but I am so impressed with your dedication to this ROM that I had to say something. Version 1.4 is the fastest ROM that I have used on my Hero and I will continue to use your Sensehero ROM. Looking forward to the new 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
That's interesting, i have never seen that issue before, has it ever worked for you? I will definetly look into that for you, but I have not experienced this issue before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Almost done... :eek:

Still seeking out that text frame though, cant find the bugger.

I know it happens in messaging and in the browser also.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
It works some times, but not always like iPhone or other phones...

even my brother has the same phone, and I have tested a lots of thins with these two heros... I even bought a new wireless modem, but no hope. tried it at friends' houses...cofe shops... nothing seems to work.. it works for some short time, and than it just freezes.. don't know what the problem is..

there are a lot of threads in this forum about this problem, but no one could fix it.. hope u can

Cheers

PS. Hope the job is going great till now... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
I am not a programmer but I think that it is in the Theme stuff... in the messaging only when it is landscape mode and the keyboard pops up, and in the browser is always... Wish u luck ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
I wish it were that easy, the resources for the theme are integrated into the rom, there was never just a theme for it, it could be in any of the apks, trouble is there 100's of resources. You would think it would be easy to spot the only green input frame out of all the blue ones, but its not :(

On the plus side i fixed up the Mail input frames and now should display properly and blue!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
AHAAA iv got the rascal, iv found the input frame, i thought i was going to have an epileptic fit flicking through those images so fast (jks).

The green browser loading bar is actually coded into a XML file, don't think I am going to be able to change that without breaking something...

So we might have to put up with that one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
I really understand that it is very difficult .. no need to tell me that, even that I am not a programmer, I really understand a lot of it.. electronics and softwares are my hobby since I know my self, and i write web pages, just for fun :).. Hope u will find that input and fix all that..

PS... I sent u about the WiFi... Any ideas.. hints... anything.. its really annoying...

Cheers

Hamo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
Stickman, is it possible to have Right-to-Left languages support?

in hebrew for example Gmail client show words backwards and numbers in massages send backwards (75 shows as 57)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
-------------

So don't brick it :D we can use to it for now.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
I'm building it all back togeather now for testing on my hero, do you guys want the normal wifi status icon, i think someone brought up that it wasnt so clear how many signal bars you had on wifi.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dabrown:
WiFi icon from 1.4

I am new to Android, but I preferred the wifi icon from SenseHero 1.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
No problem, i like it aswell tbh :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dabrown:
Great work StickMan. Cant wait to try it out.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Testing is now underway, I want to get this ready for tommorow morning so I am going to cram in as much testing as possible before i konk asleep hehe :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
It's alive, it's, it's alive hehe ^^,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
the SenseHero WiFi icon is cool..

how is the test... ?

when u finish that, please check the Wifi, I really want it to work properly...

Thanks

Hamo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mstulanovic:
Nice Job..

How does it feel...

Have u checked WiFi connection, the problem a told u about?
