Yes that and landascape rosie. You can always use google voice or one of the other market alternatives. Jit will work on any build so I might just include it in the updater for the current rom.

Also some have inquired about the genious button so I'll see about getting that in the next rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rally187:
You guys are awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jumpin69:
This is a great ROM thank you for continuing to work on this one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
Getting the gmail issue fixed is great news I am not with sprint so losing vvm doesn't bother me, and no landscape isn't that big of a deal either.

If livewallpaper worked on this rom it would be perfect..

well at least for me. sometimes I like to have a little eye candy on my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Agreed, Gmail push would be fabo. I us GV so VVM isn't important (to me at least) and I don't care a whit about landscape rosie. Great work guys, looking forward to the update!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izzystylez:
i vote for gmail push to sacrifice vvm n landscape rosie, also can u include epst.apk for ##menu options?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
No epst. It doesn't work with the gsm dialer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrtimo:
Thanks, looking forward to having the gmail issue fixed. This is incredible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
Genius button? I can't wait! Lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BigBadBuu:
Great to see progress being made on this front!

Personally, I'm happy with the branching solutions.

From everything I've heard, JIT's a must, so I'm happy we got it working.

Gmail doesn't need to be instant for me, as it's just personal email. And the HTC app is actually better in terms of organization and file management, etc.

Landscape Rosie is a must for me. Even though I don't use it much, it seems to make rotations in other apps (i.e., mail + texting) flow much smoother.

As for Sprint VVM, I feel that it's another "nice to have" as I've long since been on Google Voice and am actually surprised by those who haven't moved to it yet.

All-in-all, thanks for making the Hero a viable (if not superior) alternative to the EVO. Thanks!

Zenupdater 2.1 is a no go for me always says installation aborted any ideas anyone? Also in my current update I have an update 3.should I flash that? Thanks for the help..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kfunk:
I flashed update #3 which is 0.9.6.3 Once I installed that, I was able to install ZenUpdater 2.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
Fml I got "installation aborted" when I tried to flash 9.6.3 wtf what am I doing wrong?

nevermind, i got it to work. booted into recovery.

whats supposed to be in update 3 anyway?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Are you using the amon ra recovery or clockwork?

Sent from my Sprint Htc Evo 4g
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skratch412:
stuck at htc screen

How long will i be stuck at this screen its been forever
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ixamsilent:
Im using Clockwork and I ran into the same problem.

By the way... Your rom is the best I have used thus far.

Kudos on that bro :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
The way I got it to work was boot into recovery (not apply update from the updater) and choose zip from SD card I believe I'm using clock works
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Just an update:

The new rom I'm working on has have working jit in sense, sprint vvm, working gmail push, working friendstream, and flash 10.1. Additionally it will have Zippys fixed camera and updater some others that are being worked on like landscape rosie thats in the current rom. This is pretty much a whole rebuild forked from 0.8.8.1.

I need some feedback on theming. I'm thinking about changing the icon bubbles to the flat style or removing them all together by default and also adding a new default wallpaper. It's looking good so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ixamsilent:
Loving the Icons

So far, I am enjoying the Icons. For me, I like a clean UI on my phone. Nothing too fancy, though LWP would be nice. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d-shade:
I would prefer removing the icon bubbles and just have the icons.

Would be great if it applied it to all the themes that get installed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] guevr093:
You should remove the bubble icons. In my opinion, they are too overcrowding. And I agree with LWP in your ROM. Glad you have Push Gmail working. That's great! And flash 10.1!!! That's a feature I'm sure will only be in your ROM exclusively for a great while.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jumpin69:
That sounds like an awesome build, really looking forward to it. The flat style is fine with me and if you find a new default wallpaper that you like then I am all for it. Great work and thank you for keeping this rom going. It truely makes the HERO a great phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Zen, I removed the icon bubbles completely with the hack provided earlier in the thread, looks much better to me as the Hero screen isn't all that big and I like to keep things 'tidy'.

Very much looking forward to the update, sounds like a winner. I appreciate you not bailing on the Hero as so many other Dev's have done (cough Evo). I'm available to help (beta test wise) if needed (PM me).

As for the wallpaper, I'm using the standard Slide T-mobile nest (bird family) and really like it.

Will you be implementing the UV kernal in the new build?

Flash 10.1 ? :D:D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I haven't tested those kernels. I did get over 5MFLOPS in linpack overclocked to the max with jit enabled. Quadrant scores still suck for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chromiumleaf:
I actually suggest that you LEAVE IN the icon bubbles, mainly because people can remove them by using this hack/mod that ItsDon mentioned. But if anyone likes them, they probably can't ADD them if they aren't already there to begin with.

Perhaps you could leave the 'iphone-ish' icon boxes on, then put a link to that hack/mod on the main OP so those who want to remove it can easily find that .zip without searching or clogging up the thread with more questions about it.

It's post #934, buried way down in the thread... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6456176&postcount=934

Just my two cents. I happen to like the icon boxes :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
I can't wait for this update! And I say leave the bubbles in- people can fix if they want. Maybe offer in updater. And I say go for the under volt kernel, works great for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I wasn't thinking in terms of speed with the UV kernal, more in terms of battery savings, although speed is always nice! I've never seen 5MFLOPS out of 9.6.3 (4.7MF) so JIT being enabled seems like a good thing.

From my little knowledge gleaned from reading other threads, Darchstar says Linpack is not a good measurement tool for the Hero (even though I use it) and that Quadrant is what we should be using. Not sure why the Quadrant scores would suck on the latest ZenEXP but I hope you get it figured out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
What are you getting on quadrant on .9.6.3?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jumpin69:
Hey zenulator,

Always happy to help with any testing that you might need with the next release. This rom has become my daily rom and I am looking forward to the next release. So if there is something that I can do please let me know.

Thank you,

jumpin69
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pcochran89:
I am wishing I tried this ROM a long time ago. This is running so beautifully, its like having a different phone! I've searched and can't figure out how to resolve these issues:

1. I always have this phantom voicemail that doesn't really exist. I get notifications for it though.

2. When I go to check the voicemail, it dials *86 and gives a message other than what Sprint would have. Is there a fix for that?

Thank you so much to those involved in making this masterpiece. Your hard work is truly appreciated!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Change the *86 to your number for voice mail. To get rid of the sms voicemail notifications pull the eri.xml from darchdroid and push it to /system/etc
[Hero CDMA Android Development] njones61:
zenulator,

I am fairly new to rooting and custom ROMs, but I am loving this one. The speed and responsiveness are wonderful. A few questions:

1) How can I make a donation?

2) I have Voice Search on my phone (it shows up in the recently used apps list after I use google via the mic option), but it is not listed in the programs. Any way to fix the link? Yes, I realize that I can do the same thing with standard search feature, but I like the one click option.

Also:

-I look forward to your next update as I miss sprint vmm. One of my favorite features.

-I vote to can the bubbles.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockstar420:
amazing.

Mr. zen, first off let me say amazing job with this. **** works faster then my cousins droid. i've had just 1 lame issue, not a big one. just cosmetic.

i apologize if im being redundant/retarded. but idk what else to do other then browse 1000's of posts.

well i installed all the themes/modes(for the colored task bars and launchers etc.) and i flashed the update.zip and it removed the "enclosed" style widgets, but only for the marine mode. if i try and change my "appearance" it just puts the widgets back to as if they were before they were updated. i wanna change the colors around but i would rather my widgets look normal.:confused:

any takers?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Sprint Visual voicemail is in the updater for the current rom. And for the shortcut to voice search just hold down the search button (the hard key) on your phone?

As for donations I'll put up a link when I release the new rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
Had a few issues coming from damagless but when everything was smoothed out this Rom is running great for me I absolutely never use landscape rosie so I think my biggest gripe is gmail push. Other than that everything is running smooth. Thanks for this one again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
I personally love the landscape rosie.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] njones61:
But after reading a few pages of recent posts in this thread I was under the impression that applying the update would fix VMM but break Gmail push. Is that not the case?

BTW, I used ZenEXP 0.9.6OC.

Ahaa.... Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rentmyhome1:
Hi...Got to tell you that I LOVE THIS ROM..This is awesome.. THANK YOU!.

I have noticed that once in a while the phone restarts..not sure if anyone has noticed this...if yes...is there a fix?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Any chance that the DroidX Multi-Touch keyboard would work with this rom? I tried it out on another rom and it is slick!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
Yea it works fine. The one I have can be installed on any 2.1 rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Is yours a 'special' one? I can find it I'm sure by Googling for the APK but if you have one that definitely works might I be able to beg a copy of it? :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
How exactly does that keyboard work?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexnaoumi:

Remove icon Bubbles/install themes

First i must say loving this rom. I have a couple questions on how to remove the bubbbles arount the incons and installing some of the themes. I have tried the removel zip but still didnt remove them. Also would like to install one of the smooth themes but every time is try when it boot back from recovery it just sits at the white HTC screen. im i missing something.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Can't speak for the bubble removal zip, but the smooth theme is for 0.9.6OC ROM only. Once Z & Z release their latest iteration of the ROM, I'll port the theme over. But for now, I'm happy with 0.9.6OC.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] budnfrida:
I have the 0.9.6.2 Rom i am guessin that on 0.9.6OC is diff then the one i have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yes, they are different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
here is a link to fixing the "Bubbles" and any other problem with this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Then there's that too. I always wonder how much smaller these threads would be if the duplicates were removed.

Hey, did you know that Gmail push isn't working on this ROM?!?!?! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
lmao also a problem with ghost voicemails ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] budnfrida:
Well if you read my post i did search and the fix obviously did not work that why im asking my question.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vrajpal:
How is everyone's battery life? Mine seems to run own pretty quickly.

I'm getting 14-16 hours a day with light to medium use. Today display has been on 47 minutes and 6 minutes of phone calls. 2 email accounts check hourly and 1 checks every 3 hours. Weather syncs every hour. 50% battery left. Unplugged 11 hours 40 minutes today.

On a heavier day I'll get 10-12. today I just haven't done much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] omair2005:
sorry but I gotta ask..hows the update coming along?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexnaoumi:
is there a way to turn off rotation on the home screen, its kinda annoying
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
As of a few hours ago, I have been having problems with my LED notifications, especially in Handcent. Tried searching through the thread/forums and Google, but to no luck. Haven't updated anything, and like I said, it was working earlier in the day... Now that I think about it, don't think it was blinking for a missed call a bit ago either. Checked Settings > Sounds & Display > Notifications and everything is set to blink. Tried reinstalling Handcent, restarting, etc. Will I have to reflash the ROM? Doing backups isn't a big deal, but if there's an easier way I'd be happy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ThatGuyFromSprint:
try unchecking "Orientation" under sound & display

if that doesn't work... then you're stuck...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Good so far Everything is working besides landscape rosie

Some more tweaks for speed and testing and the new version should be out soon.

It might also be coming with a new feature i have been working on.

6 signal bars like the sprint roms for much better display of the signal strength.

So far i have the 6 signals showing and working just have to test more etc.

As far as i know this will be the only GSM rom with true working 6 signal bars and not just modified png's.

Stay tuned.

This is a gsm Rom from t mobile. We ported it to cdma

[Hero CDMA Android Development] elessarelfstar:
Definitely. Do you use the PDK? (adb, etc). If you download a version before auto rotate was listed as a feature you can open up to the zip system/app/ and pull out "Rosie.apk" and put into where ever your PDK tools folder is then:

adb pull /system/app/Rosie.apk Rosie.apk.bak

adb push Rosie.apk /system/app/Rosie.apk

The end result - Rosie with no auto rotate.

I think it is ZenEXP-0.9.4.2 that I pulled it from.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
I miss my led notifications too :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
EDIT: Scratch that, I'm an idiot. I got my numbers mixed up. You're correct - 0.9.4.2 is no landscape.

False alarm....I had the android version of opera mobile up and running but after a reboot it's back to normal and I can reproduce what I did before. Getting close though. I'll work on it more later tonight. I'm leaning more toward the dalvikvm now so if anyone is interested i just was messing with different versions of /system/lib/libdalvikvm.so and /system/bin/dalvikvm.

Has anyone gotten the Swype from this rom or the Open Beta version to run. I couldn't use the installer for the beta I'm assuming for the same reasons browswer doesn't work. I tried installing a version I found and I got FC's. I also tried just copying the pngs for the newer keyboard to the apk for the older one and installing but I still get FC's. The closest is using the one that came with this rom but nothing I tried got around the not designed for this device error.

Gasp, I just noticed this issue while screwing around with Handcent SMS, first thing, the settings of handcent don't actually work, I would click settings, then it'd show for a sec, and bring my straight back.

But, that's not what I'm worrying about :o

I tried to use my original HTC Hero way to set my phone on vibrate, the Hold Power Button to select mode method. And holding the power button resets the device? Was this intended to happen or a bug? I'm not entirely sure if my time using the rom has always had this issue, but I have it now. Going to look around to see if there's anything that can replace this method \o

Any word on this would be nice :D

Its never happened to me. What order did you flash the rom plus updates?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmxrider4444:
Sweet, can't wait for the new release, you two planning on bringing this to the Evo anytime? I miss running this ROM, so every week or so i switch back to my Hero lol, and i think it would be insanely fast on it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmm5157:
I am around 30-40% when I put my phone on the charger at night after a full day of use. That includes around 30-40 texts (incoming and outgoing combined), Gmail and Exchange Active sync (email + calendar) synced through stock e-mail client, and usually talk on the phone around 10-15 minutes on a normal day. I also usually browse the web for about 30 minutes using Opera Mini 5 and the Facebook app.

Today my phone has been off the charger for 14 hours and I'm at 50% battery. I only spoke on my phone for about 5 minutes today, but texted quite a bit (50 messages today), added a few events to my calendar, and even went to Target, where my phone has notoriously bad reception and usually kills my battery. I'd consider this a medium usage day.

On my best days, with light use, I can easily go over 36 hours off the charger without issue.

This ROM gives me the best battery life by far. Used to use mainly Flipz ROMs before, and they were stellar but this has become my favorite ROM.

I should add that I'm running the GoDmoDe kernel overclocked to 767/19hz screen on and 480/19hz off using SetCPU. The phone is incredibly fast and responsive. The only way I'd be happier with this ROM is if Gmail stock app synced properly and the Camera app worked completely. Other than that, it's amazing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
I really wish we could. I would have ported it already if it we could.

unfortunately it would be an insane amount of work if it was possible as all the images and xml files are built for mdpi devices.. eg smaller screens

the evo etc use hdpi images and different xml files so porting it would be way to hard.

if tmo comes out with a device that has a high res screen i am all over it.
