get back Sense widgets

If some of the Sense widgets aren't showing up, first make sure you're using Sense, not Helix Launcher. Then, go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > HTC Sense > Clear data.

This has been mentioned a few times before, if you didn't try to search this time, it usually helps me a lot. On XDA, everything is up somewhere, it's just a matter of finding it. ;)

This post is for all of you with this problem, I'm sure there are some lurkers who have been waiting for this LOL :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
Koni,

I think I may know why your not seeing the same thing.. As far I know unknown caller works fine.. The incoming display says "Private Number" That is when I get a facebook contact that says they are calling.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
If I am using the OC'd map version but wanna flash the regular non OC'd version, will I have to wipe and all that again?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
This will get you the normal widgets back, worked for me.

However, you can't download the new widgets HTC gave with 2.1 liek the big stick it notepad. Prolly doesn't matter for most everyone tho, just wanted to let it be known in case people were trying to get it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Nope, it should flash right over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Great, flashing now. I will post results shortly
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Just for conciseness, which did you do, clear cache, or clear data? I want to know so I can update my post. Don't want to mess anything up for anyone... :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
So I can just copy the flash to my SD and install from there, and all my settings, apps and stuff will be how I have it now correct?

Also, does it sound right for the OC to be slightly more laggy than the non OC? Someone said it is as the speeds shift up and down
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rippley05:
I cleared data, I don't think there was a cache yet as it was just installed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Yup. Just boot to recovery, flash it, and wait out the boot.

I did it over 2.0.8. LOL, I meant to update to 2.0.9, but never had time. Then, lo and behold, I check up on it, and all of a sudden it's "[ROM] New! Aloysius 2.1 (6-1) | OC/JIT - FriendStream - Snow Edition - Helix - Color!" staring back at me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Thanks, post updated. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
You my friend are awesome! Thank you, gidkid, and everyone for answering all the questions people had while I was at work.....looks like you got dsMA up and running too :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I am still debating on moving my ROM over to 2.09....we'll see if the issues people are having clear up (although alot are having no probs at all) :)

Thank you itrackit for the d-nation! :):)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Least I could do. You did make the ROM, after all. I couldn't answer questions about it if it didn't exist, could I?

:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Not that lucky. The 710 is stuck in boot loop. Guess I'll try the 537 next. Is this MY hero or is this something else? I mean, is there a fix or do I need to "lose" my device if I ever want to OC?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Dunno... The 710 worked fine for me first try, although once in a while it freezes at boot and I have to pull the battery and try again.

It never happens more than once though. Usually only once a day at most.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I have NO flippin idea why some phones hate OC, and some LOVE it. My phone is just not a "fan" of it, but it doesn't bootloop when flashing 768 kernels. You at least got the non-oc ROM running? Just trying to flash the OC kernel right...?

Most who fail with 768 and 710 have success with the 537 :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Thanks! I am doing my restore then will try 537 let's hope this works! Oh, and yes, the ROM's run like a champ (the non OC ones). I dig snow, by far the best ROM for me. I wonder if I need to even bother with OC, the normal one runs great as is
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
I couldnt get 537 to work. If you get 537 to work message me with what you did, I might have just did something wrong.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
OC kernel VS OC ROM

Now that I've answered a few, I have a question of my own: If I flash the normal Maps version, then put in an OCed kernel, will Wireless Tether still freeze on my when I try to disable it? Is that a problem with all OCed kernels? Or will flashing one of these solve the problem?

Also, the mHz values are just defaults set at boot, right? I can go up to 768 on all of them if I want, right?

Thanks,

--G
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
You might not have done something wrong, if your phone REALLY hates OC, it might just not be able to handle it.

Never heard of a phone rejecting a ROM OCed that low, though... Any lower and it'd be underclocked!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
Here is the process I followed:

nand backup

partion sd with all the defaults

upgraded from ext2 to ext3

rebooted

copied damages537.zip to sd card

booted into recovery

flashed from zip using damages537.zip

did i do something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Did you do a wipe/factory reset?

Just wipe all the options to be safe, then flash that zip again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Wait a second - sorry - are you just trying to flash an OC kernel over the ROM?

Didn't realize that. In that case, disregard what I said - DON'T WIPE. Unless it is absolutely necessary...

lol that should work with no wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Did the non-OC ROM work for you?

Sorry, I have to go. Hopefully someone else will answer your questions. If not, you can always PM me and I'll get back to you ASAP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
the non oc rom is working i just couldnt get the oc rom to work or the damages537 oc kernal to work either.

Are you saying the steps i listed above should of worked?

Maybe you can also help me with another issue. I am trying to sync my google contacts. In 2.1 HTC took out the sync contacts by groups (which allowed users to chose which of their gmail groups they wanted to sync to the phone i.e. limiting which contacts are on your phone. I thought this rom restored this functionality but so far it seems to mirror the 2.1 HTC syncing capabilities which essentially sync all your gmail contacts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Also did this, minus the ext2 to ext3 stuff and cannot get the 537 to run either. All non OC'd ROM's run fine. I wonder if I can run another OC'd rom, I bet I can't....glad I LOVE this ROM
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
Have you been able to sync your gmail contacts by groups (i.e. chose which gmail contact groups you want to sync to your phone instead of syncing all gmail contacts)? I can not figure out how to get this functionality.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Most likely yes....the kernel is the reason the freezing happens. If you run the regular maps version with no OC kernel....you won't have any issue stopping wireless tethering :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
No the steps you took are the right way to flash the kernel....hit up the Kernel "for Damage Control" see if there is something in there that could help you. It's specific to the kernel itself :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
thanks for letting me know I didn't do anything wrong.

any chance you can now help me out with the steps to choose which of my web based gmail contact groups I want to b synced to the phone like I could back in 1.5?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
I responded to your PM.....:)

y when i put my phone on the charger ... i try to unlock it ... it doesnt slide all the way ... and when i do take it off charger the thing starts fliping out opening and closing things/.... wat do i do
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Sounds like you have an issue! You might want to reflash, or think about a wipe....because that my friend is not normal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
your welcome. can you pm me with your thoughts on the 2.09.1 version and what you see as advantages being this is the last rom they will do for the hero? thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atreyu954:
That's the problem I'm having, it won't let me wipe ext partition, none of the recoveries will. So I reformatted the sd card and that didn't work either. I can wipe the first 2 but not the ext partition. But I just thought of something this morning. Do I need to partition the sd card and then try the wipe ext partition? Cause the card isn't partitioned
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daPorkchop:
I may be wrong...but...you don't have an ext 'partition' if the card isn't partitioned.

Edit: And partitioning your card also formats it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twin001:
So I gave my Hero to my wife (EVO for me!). I called Sprint CS to switch the numbers. Now I'm getting the Sprint Error 67 on my phone. Called CS last night and he wanted me to update my PRL and Profile. This ROM doesn't have that option. How do I do that on Aloysius?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atreyu954:
Yeah I figured that out when I checked it yesterday, but since there's no partition and I can't wipe something that's not there, why won't it load the rom? That's what I don't get. I've done just about all of the aloysius roms he has with no luck. I don't have a problem with partitioning the card if that'll take care of the issue and get me out of the bootloop
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kaediil:
[ROM] New! Aloysius 2.1 (6-1) | OC/JIT - FriendStream - Snow Edition - Helix - Color!

To do that, I had to nandroid backup my current setup. Then nandroid restore my original stock Rom. Then, update profile and prl there 3g came back fine. Then nandroid restore my 2.1 setup.

I had a copy of my nandroid backups at work. I am going to bring them home tonight to see if that will help.

Tony, I'll give this a shot first. If it doesn't work then I'll try to nandroid it. She really likes the ROM too. The CS guy at Sprint asked if I was on 2.1 yet. I said yes, then he says "no, it looks like you are still on 1.5". I'll be damned if I'm going to dl the official 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
a guestion about launchers

Hi Everyone

So what is a launcher? Is that the name given to the three buttons on the bottom of the screen?

Also I understand that this rom has both the sense launcher and the helix launcher, what is the difference between the two? How can you tell which one is running (is it a matter of going to settings, applications, application management, and then just scanning the list till you see one of them?

Finally how can you switch between helix and sense?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] natelw:
Yeah go into settings>applications>manage applications, find HTC Sense and clear defaults. Then next time you can choose which launcher you want to use and set the new default.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atreyu954:
Ok, I'm going to give this another shot and see if I can get it to take this time but I need some advice first.

Do I need to partition the sd card and set it to ext 3, put everything back on the card and run the zip? Would that work? Someone with some more experience help me out please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twin001:
There is also a "Home Switcher" app in your app drawer. You can choose and set your default launcher there too.

Tony, you get an EVO yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
Thanks. The Home Switcher was really handy. Glad you pointed that out to me because that is not what I thought that app did lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
oc questions???

The OC versions of this rom I assume were running the kernel that allowed for over clocking, but what about the non oc version of the rom, were they built off of the same over clocked kernel?

I am curious because though I could not get the oc versions working I was able to install setcpu. When I launched it it showed I had a max cpu spee of 528 or something like that which is much lower then the 768, 710, and even the 537 toast kernel files.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Nope no EVO yet....50 bucks shy. I've already started moving Aloysius over to the EVO.....so when I get it I can flash the first AloysiusEvo right away :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
The non-oc versions of this ROM have the original kernel with a max of 528...they do not contain the new GoDmOdE Kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Another Lovely Question!

Sooo I have a question, Wondering if this has happened to anyone else. If I turn my phone off or it dies of a total of five times, and when i turn it back on my sd card said it is damaged. I was wondering why my phone is doing that. Is is the brand of sd cards I am using or is it my phone or is the way i rooted it a long time ago?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Never had this happen to me. Do you have a2sd going on? Are you using the OC kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
:(

It happen in every rom possible I have tried... Yea i always used App2sd.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Sounds to me like you might need to update your a2sd. Do you have the lastest and greatest?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670087&page=40
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Hmmmm.....

Hmmmmmm I've flashed that befor and it ... and it still happen :(. Maybe I just need to buy the Evo lol :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
If that is what pushes you to get the big bad boy EVO....then go for it :) Have you tried a major wipe and reflash?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
No how do you do a Major wipe and reflash?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
jit vs sprint apps...y not compatible???

I opened up the dcconfig app today to see what it was and it would appear that it is for apps2sd. There was an option to enable jit but doing so would remove certain apps from the phone i.e. live wall paper, sprint apps, etc Why is this?

Since I mentinoed apps2sd when this rom installed did it partition the memory card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Go into recovery and scroll to wipe....click on it. Then wipe data/factoryreset and Dalvik....then, hit back and go to flash from SD and flash the ROM again. Before you wipe make sure the ROM you wish to flash is on your card :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
No this ROM is just a2sd ready....to enable it you need to go to the a2sd thread and follow the instructon on how to enable it and partition your card ect.

JIT also has it's own thread to read up on and to help in the endevour of enabling it :) JIT and sprint apps are compatible...it just gives you the option to take them away. The only thing JIT is not compatible with is sense...so you'll have to use helix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Oh yes I have done that multiple times :(:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smooches680:
New here

Sorry to keep writing but i just love the screens that you have above on this website. Can you please explain are they all for one device and can they be used for my sprint htc hero? if so can you please email me step by step instructions on how to get my hero to look like that. My name is Vienessa and my email is: ladyv680@yahoo.com and i have the 2.1 update.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Yes the pictures on the first page of this thread are all for the same device :)

There is a thread at the top of this forum that can get you ROOT to your phone....if you don't have it already. There are also "step-by-step" instructions on how to flash ROMS there too. Sorry it would be crazy time consuming to write it all out when it's already here in this forum.

Hope this helps you in your endevour!! :):)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Hey can anyone send me a link or help me with apps2sd? Never done it. Thinking of doing it. Thanks..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
To everyone on this thread i just wanted to comment on the battery life i've been experiencing with aloysius 2.1 w/oc at 710 max 245min. i just loaded this yesterday but had been running dc 2.08.1 w/oc for a few weeks.

i can't explain it but the battery usage has been minimal so far today. ive been making several calls some around 15min long as well as plenty of texting with the wife and i'v only used 4 bars. i never had this with vanilla dc but i know this rom is the base for it. not even going to ask why this is or if there's an explanation but i'm very happy with this rom.

believe you me people, this is a good rom. im going to try pure hero as well, wait, maybe not. the grass isnt always...blah blah blah.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itrackit:
i used this thread. once you get into recovery and go to partition the sd card, the system defaults the values for you if you want to keep them. i chose just to keep them 32 swap, 512ext2, max for the rest. good luck. it's easy really.

edit: forgot the link sorry, http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9480-apps2sd-tutorial.html
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cuatillo1:
just a quick question if u guys could help me... i'm runnin recovery 1.5.2 it works fine with me, but should i get the 1.6.2 but whats the difference between these 2....??? thnx!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daPorkchop:
You're gonna have to start quoting people so we can tell what you are talking about. So...you need to partition your SD card so you can do Apps2sd. Thats about the only reason you need to do so. I would wipe data and dalvik and then wipe your SD card on your computer (FAT32). Put the zip on your SD card. Rename it update.zip. Then go into recovery and flash from SD card. Then give this ROM about 20mins to update.

Ive had it happen to me. I had the stock 2gb SD card. I went and got a 8g class 4 for 20$ at the store and it acctually fixed all that and made JIT work for a lil while. Then i FUBAR'd JIT somehow.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
Koni,

OK, I left the OC'd version of aloyisius and tried PureHero, which I regretted. I was not able to iron-out the kinks. I came back, but this time tried the "non-OC" Maps only version of aloyisius, which I must say feels faster than the OC'd version, even with Sense enabled.

Is it my imagination or was something not working properly for me?

ALSO: I tried running SetCPU, but now the max is about 528 instead of 710. Is that due to a limitation you have set? Should I not play with setCPU under this rom? I uninstalled it already, but wonder whether I could have tried to have some fun with it? I have setup autokiller instead. I know you don't recommend playing with both at the same time.

Your thoughts?

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
That's why I say my phone is not a fan of OC....the non oc is just faster and smoother imo, however many others would disagree. I have been told that NOT using setCPU with the OC is okay, and using is also okay...it varies from phone to phone as you can now see.

However, I would not recommend using SetCPU with the non oc version, as it will conflict with the kernel and slow things down. Auto Killer is what I use and set mine to aggressive as well as Spareparts....setting the transitions to fast. Hope this helps :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
I agree with you, NON-OC is faster for me, too. Sense now feels manageable, and I'll get back a couple of the widgets I liked...

Thanks!

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
Thank you Pete for the d-nation! :):)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daPorkchop:
Here since i was off today and messing with my phone trying to get JIT to work. I noticed peopel were asking about JIT and A2SD...here are the links.

A2SD

JIT
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I don't need to DL his link and flash it right? It is already included...so I just need to partition my Sd card and it should work correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daPorkchop:
no you don't NEED the updated version. yes its included. partition it with the ext3 and you should be good on the A2SD
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
so let me get this straight...I reboot to recovery, do the instructions for partitioning my SD card...reboot and I am good to go? When do I copy all my info back to my SD card? After I partition it? Also is there something I need to check to enable Apps2SD?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Also, do I need to re-download all of my Apps, or does it automatically move all of them to my Sd card? Sorry about all of the questions, but I have been thinking about this since flashing this rom since I am down to like 35 mb available.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daPorkchop:
In DConfig (which is in your app drawer) it says Apps2SD at the top. Should be checked. Just make sure it is.

No. Also make sure move Apps2SD is checked to. If that dosen't work or your not sure...if you have Recovery 1.6.2 you can move your apps to SD in recovery too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
Yup. That's all there is to it. You can copy back all your info to the SD card whenever you want, just after you've partitioned. It's probably best to reboot first. You don't need to check anything.

Nope. It'll automatically move all your apps. That's why the first reboot will take a while.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
LOL, beat me to it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Thanks guys in the process right now. Appreciate all the help
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daPorkchop:
ok damnit. im gonna switch over to purehero and see if i can get JIT to work. if not...ILL BE BAAACCCKKKK!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twin001:
Tony, that worked! I can't wait for you to start working your magic on the EVO. I haven't flashed a new ROM yet as I'm holding out for Aloysius.

For everyone having Apps2SD issues, it's a program that doesn't activate itself after a flash. You need to go into a Terminal and activate it. Here are the steps that worked for me.

Do this:

1. Wipe everything (data/factory reset, Dalvik-cache, SD:ext partition)

2. Partition SD Card

3. SD:ext2 to ext 3

4. Load a2sd-2.7-1 and Aloysius (or another ROM) via usb (JUST LOAD THEM, DON'T FLASH BOTH YET!)

5. Flash Aloysius_2.1 (or another ROM) from zip

6. Reboot phone

7. Download Terminal Emulator from Market, turn off phone.

8. Reboot phone into recovery (home/end button).

9. Flash a2sd-2.7-1 from zip

10. Reboot phone

11. Open Terminal Emulator and type in "SU". The $ sign will turn into a # sign.

12. Type "A2SD Check" to make sure everything is working.

13. Type "A2SD cache" to move dalvik-cache

14. Type "A2SD swap" to activate Apps2SD

15. Reboot. The phone will take a while to reboot (longer than initial ROM reboot), be patient.

16. Check your internal memory, smile when you see 140+ free internal memory. Remember to have a cache clearing program. I use Quick System Pro.

Do not try to flash your ROM and Apps2SD at the same time. You must boot Aloysius first, reboot phone, then flash Apps2SD.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revlis240:
Koni,

My phone (now, after 4-5 days) is LAGGY like molasses. Its terrible. If i want to switch to NON OC, right now i have the MOC setup, can I switch the non OC without losing all my data? What do you recommend
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
Yes, I switched from aloyisius OC to purehero, back to aloyisuis non-OC, and my apps and data all survived just fine.
