IMO, I think sense is a UI that should be used in the cases of WM 6.5 where the UI developed by Microsoft is subpar. Truthfully, Android 2.1 has a much more elegant UI, and of course is a lot faster, and I think that's what the Hero should've had in the first place. 1.6 would've made this phone an absolute blast, but 1.5 with sense seemed like a hastily made decision to tack onto a premature version of android and roll out the device (especially since the dream had 1.6 prior to the hero's debut from what I believe).

It's just another of my rants, but I'm hoping for some greater cooked roms past Sense 2.1. I'm not pleased with its performance, nor its features (not that they're working at full anyway). Maybe in the future when we get our 2.1 Sense rom, but i never enjoyed it even in 1.5. Android can provide the same quality of widgets and nuances, just have to get our developing community to aid! Alas, it's the trend now. We'll see what happens soon.

The tip about Nathan using a samsung android UI-based rom is intriguing and exciting. Samsung has always made some pretty looking UIs, and it's a definite change. But of course, Vanilla Android is where it's at. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I would really like to see a stable and full-working Vanilla 2.1 for GSM Hero. Can't wait to see what Nathan pulls out of his sleeve :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hjaltih:
Installed this today and it has great potential however it is not quite ready.

There are like 4 different gallery applications some force closes when using most of them.

No Contacts application and the dialer force closes when you select contacts.

If you go to Personalize in settings and try to set wallpaper it force closes.

Hopefully this helps some.

I definitly cant work without the original google calendar. This roundy flashy greeny HTC calendar looks SO ridiculous! Any suggestion to get the google one back? By finding and flashing googlebits maybe? I'm not sure it would works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
try downloading helixlauncher from the market. it is derived from stock android ui, and seems similar enough to the nexus one's, and that allowed for a better experience with this rom. perhaps the calendar widget will be there with that launcher!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Thank you for the idea. But Im not looking for the widget, but the app itself. (I think its something like a calendar.apk). I have buyed the Pure Calendar Widget and it's very excellent.

I think I'm not so happy with this hybrid-Vanilla. For the time i stay with the Vanillain 1.1c wich is stable fast and pure vanilla. But i'm still looking forward to test a newer version of this Sprint port Vanillain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefttobleed:
excellent!!!!!

this rom is really good. excellent... n super fast. but many things dont work. is that why this rom performs so well? will it lose its fluidity once everything works??? great work... thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
I know this rom is derived from what appeared to be the leaked Sprint Hero 2.1 ROM, and he implemented a hybrid Vanilla + some minute Sense-based (Sense UI menus, fairly minor) components to get it running really fast.

From my understanding, the updated version of Vanillain will be AOSP based, but knowing Nathan, he might win our hearts again with a sleek and fast rom.

I'm excited for the vanilla version. I'm also now excited for the Samsung TouchWiz UI-derived Hero ROM and the Espresso-derived ROM he's working on. =)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
I'm coming from 5.2 what do I need to wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yes save what you know you need (images, videos etc) and then format the card, install the rom and put your saved stuff back on the sd card.

Android will reinstall what it needs to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
5.2 completely different rom.

You need to do a full wipe (WIPE IT ALL)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danwar:
I drop all my work and run to Hero and flash.

Great work.

First run without problem.

Every AOSP 2.1ROM's crash during first use of camera. Your camera and ROM work fine, without crash.

Not all livewallpapers works, but I not need this.

Problem with gallery and launcher (old problem).

Now I try it in every day use.

Yo nprussel. Don't know if it's only with me, but the market has a graphical bug. Could you add that to your tiny update list maybe? I think it's a minor adjustment.

The background texture of the banner saying "market" is shifted to the left, showing a white background.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crytic:
Yeah well, a) it is included in the rom, b) I reinstalled v24 and it still FCs ;)

Does it work for you?

EDIT: Nevermind, the reinstalled version works!

I do have the same bug!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
they don't really help as all roms look the same unless themed.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Sorry, I'd prefer to spend the little time I have spare on development rather than taking screenies! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
This looks great. Once the Gallery bug fix is out, this ROM will be perfect for me! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Furry muff, I mean fair enough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snaven:
does auto brightness work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prodygee:
Use Spare parts from the market to enable auto-brightness. Be sure to reboot your phone to make it work. (By the way, the booting of this rom is pretty darn fast!)

Hey nprussel!

Guessed you didn't notice my post ;) but there's a graphical bug/glitch in the market. I've seen this before in other roms a couple of months ago but they seemed to have fixed it. So I bet you can too, since you're the king of everything vanilla flavoured!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gothnux:
The best Vanilla ROM for me!!

Only have a problem, when I use camera or other app that use hardware the Launcher2 freezes and FC. :(

Now use Helixlauncher and I have no FC. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Try a reboot. I had this on another AOSP ROM yesterday, but rebooting fixed itself (crazy I know)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crytic:
Okay, I have another problem:

If the phone sits sleeping for a longish time (about 30 minutes), it won't wake up but reboot itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mavgink:
wow, awesome rom... works great.

even the 3.5 headset plus works. (although the icon doesn't show)

when your quickfix is released on friday this will be on my phone until the official 2.1 rom... (which is a long time... ;P)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Do the live wallpapers stick on this? or do they change back to a standard wallpaper when phone goes to sleep??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prodygee:
Oh, sounds rather weird. But I'll try :rolleyes:

Edit: Nope.. mehhh
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dready75:
too many versions ?

Hi all

I don't understand what are the differences between :

[ROM][21/04/2010][AOSP Vanilla 2.1][STABLE][Blazing Fast] VanillaEclair 1.1JIT Final

and

[ROM] 22/04/10 Vanillain 2.0 JIT (AOSP)

What is the latest release of Vanillian ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Hotfix #1, fixes boot animation and Market graphical bug: Hotfix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Self explanatory

1.1 comes before 2.0 but 1.1 isnt nprussels
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nissel:
couple of issues:

GPS is not working it just tries to find the satellites for ages.

multi touch in browser doesn't work

apart from that seems great so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
possible bugs?

market seems to be quite a bit slower than on Vanilla 5.2

also ... i keep getting the "insufficient storage available" error when i try installing apps from the market :(

im running vanillain2.0 + hotfix1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cenata:
Great ROM!

GPS finally works and sleeps after that.

Launcher is too unstable for me, showed me black screen two times, now I use Home, which is fine :)

I think automatic brightness does not work for me, even after I enabled it in SpareParts and rebooted. Also VPN does not work for me (PPTP).

Anyway it's a great ROM, I think it will be my last one until the official one (in May/June 2010-2020 :p).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snaven:
agree: have reverted to helixlauncher from the market - couldn't get version 2 to start.

also auto-brightness definitely isn't working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prodygee:
The original android browser doesn't support multi-touch.

Be sure to scroll down on the DOWNLOAD LINKS page to get the 1st hotfix.

@snaven: helix launcher 2 won't work on anything but an N1 (and droid?) as it states in the app info.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prodygee:
I'm so good at doubleposts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cenata:
Another isssue - when I took a picture with the camera the phone rebooted! Twice !!

This one is bad , very bad...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
hi there , excellent aosp rom- i much prefer it to sense. the one thing that keeps me from using it every day is the email app, as my company's exchange setup doesnt seem to like it (and is patchy at best with the htc one) my work mail is the one thing i really need on the phone. otherwise a great rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prodygee:
Wow. You're right!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
Helix launcher works perfectly on my Hero, the other vanilla hero roms have it built in as standard......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deadwilder:
- trackball doesn't lit on notifications - are there any settings for this I missed?

- MMS not working (added APNs, applied fix with updating DB - no change)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MojUk:
Ok nice rom, only issues are as stated in the initial post - live wallpapers are buggy.... when you try to apply quite a few of them the phone soft reboots back to the 'quietly brilliant' boot screen or you get very choppy performance on the ones that do work :s will continue downloading and trying more to find the best *working* ones. Also the bug still exists where by when you lock the screen then unlock it the live wallpaper is lost....even the one's that 'work'....:(

Camera wise i have 0 issues...took 10 photos in a row, then closed the camera and re-opened and took another 7.

Market is really slow too compared with Villain especially.

P.S. Whilst writing this it seems that the 'Grass' live wallpaper works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pagan:
Very very nive ROM, love vanilla. Everything works perfectly, i use helix launcher and i have no problem with the camera. The only thing is that my battery is draining very fast. GPS, Bluetooth and 3G are turned off. Anyone else having this problem?

Keep up the good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] code72:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
you can always use the Dolphin browser, found on the market..its a great one and supports multitouch with no problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cenata:
Interesting... now my phone takes pictures without rebooting itself. It did it to me twice before. But now I have another issue ... every second picture I take is just .... solid grey color. I think I just have to live with that for a while :)

Keep up the good work Nathan :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
no update till June

you can see the HTC respond to the British TechRadar site:

“HTC will be providing a free update to Éclair for European HTC Hero variants. Starting in June, anyone owning an HTC Hero will receive an initial preparatory update, shortly followed by the full Éclair update. For the full update, we would recommend using a free Wi-Fi hotspot or an unlimited data plan, otherwise standard data charges may apply.”

we are totally left behind with the HERO.:mad:

Having the same issue. Although my backups are restoring fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nissel:
GPS got a lock now and seems fine, must have just taken ages to start.

I have the usual 2.1 battery issues but a guess thats just from the same old leaked kernel. I'm definitely going to use a vanila rom once a production kernel is available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smiskkissen:
How come I always find the vanilla menu's and interface's slower than the sense versions? I always go back to the sense versions because I miss the speed, not necessarily because of the functions.

That includes this one. Slow and less functionality. Back to Villainrom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cltai8:
vpn doesn't work.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] haychau:
This is the slowest and buggiest Vanillian rom i have used so far. Nprussell you are usually heaps better than this, i'll just go back to Villain when you've upgraded to 5.3 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Wow...maybe you should report bugs, what ever they may be, instead of just insulting the dev. There are so many factors that affect the outcome of your flash and to right out blame Nathan is just rude.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] haychau:
Sorry but I was unaware I was insulting him. I appreciate all the work he does, I was just saying it like I see it. I did not intend to "blame" him as you put it but rather let him know that his work is exceptional and this is not like him to release such a buggy ROM. I will endeavour to make my feedback more constructive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maartez:
I don't find his post rude, it's just how he sees it after trying it out.

I would like to see more people be honest like this. Based on the comments here i am holding out on trying this atleast until an update arrives, or when 5.3 hits.

Maybe he already reported bugs? How do you know?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I don't find that offensive.

The truth is, I've spent so much time developing the Sense roms, that I've all but lost interest in Vanilla ROMs.

I simply used my original AOSP build and added a few extras, such as JIT.

I apologise that it's not up there with the other Vanilla 2.1 roms.

I'm going to focus on Villain, and SlideVillain this weekend. I think, what I'm going to do with Vanillain is re-compile an entirely new version. Cyanogenmod ftw.

STARTING AGAIN, FTW.

I'd recommend Androbin or aHero for now if you're wanting Vanilla. How's that for honesty?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
hows work on the samsung port going?
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
Hey guys,

Now, I understand that we have issues porting even other Android builds over to our phone so I'm not holding my breath. I am curious to see if we could possibly get MeeGo ported over though. I am going to download some things and play around with it tonight if I get a chance but until then, any thoughts?

And nobody say, "Why would you want to?" or anything like that. It's just something fun to play around with.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I'd be up for helping in some way. To be honest though, I don't know if our phone could power it, unfortunately. It so far is being only made to run on devices with Intel Atom CPU's and the Nokia N900... which I'm almost positive has a stronger CPU than the Hero. But nonetheless, we can try :)
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
The N900 has a 600Mhz CPU. Not sure if it's the OMAP3 that's in the Droid or not but it's not too much more powerful. It does have 1GB of memory though which may or may not hurt.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Ok. Maybe we'll have overclocking accomplished by then which would help. Curious, which build of MeeGo would we use? The one for the N900 or the Atom? I'm guessing the N900, correct?
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
Correct. The N900 build is made for ARM processors.
[Hero CDMA General] FRAMEuk:
let me know if you get it to work because i'm dying to try it out
[Hero CDMA General] Kaboosh:
This isn't just something to do for fun, actually. It would be really beneficial to have a REAL platform on the Hero, not just this hokey-pokey malware playground known as Android. It was fun to play with but lets face it - Linux Applications have near-infinite trust, familiarity, reliability, security, and usability compared to this zoo of "apps". The day Android allows me to CONTROL which permissions an app may access, as opposed to just staring at a blanket list with a "install" or "don't install" option then I'll revisit this - in the meantime give me apt and a debian respository controlled by trustworthy developers!
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
You can't control what permissions your apps have?
[Hero CDMA General] iczerjones:
Without nit-picking some of that apart for accuracy, I get the jist of what you are saying and I can definitely get behind some MeeGo goodness on the Hero. I'm a Debian junkie too, I love my apt as much as the next guy, but I can't help but think that Android is a pretty damn good fit for a phone. If we were talking about a tablet or something more compute-centric, give me a full blown distro, definitely. For something like my phone which I use for music, messaging, notes, and phone calls, I'm really quite happy with Android, even with it's shortcomings.

The right tool for the job. Although I'm always down with getting Debian to work on ANYTHING I can.... just because I can, I'm happy with Android on my phone. (CM6 makes mouth happy)

If a few peeps want to get serious about this and maybe have some ideas on drivers (besides the touch panel), count me in. I work on a Debian desktop every single day of my life.
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Ah Debian... (:

If I'm not mistaken we have a port of Debian with lxde.

But I do think Android works more then well enough and as for malware you have to keep in mind this is just like any other os. You deal with what you install, always research what you install before you go about doing so.
[Hero CDMA General] iczerjones:
Absolutely. I do not care if you are running OpenBSD for f's sake - if someone decides to place some crapware into your /usr/ports and you decide to blindly compile / install it, then you are just as susceptible to problems as you are on a Windows XP box. At least Android gives you the benefit of blatantly telling you what the app is going to be grated access to by YOU, the user. :rolleyes:
