Just installed B4. Wow is this ROM fast! Thank you so much Stickman. Then I downloaded the overclock widget and set it up for optimum battery with screen off and a slight overclock when the screen on. If it was a supersonic fast ROM before the OC then afterwards this thing is HyperSonic!

The only issue I've had was not all the HTC widgets showed up (The preinstalled ones not the "get more" ones) Rebooting made some more pop up and after a couple of reboots they all show up now. Not a huge problem but just a heads up incase there is an underlying problem you didn't know about.

Thanks Again,

Grindboy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RapoxD:
Next time just go to:

Settings > Applications > Manage applications > HTC Sence > Clear data

This will reset your home screens to default, but should get you all your widgets back (:

WHAT THE HECK?!? WHERE IS THIS MAGICAL JIT ROM ZIP FILE!?! DANGGG good stuff man =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Ok I will check out the stability using Jit and implement into future build as an optional update with the note that the htc lock screen will be removed however I will add in the optional vanilla or rotary lockscreen as a replacement.

I have a purchased a new .co.uk domain for the website and moved to another host. I am now having issues with my network not making a stable connection to the site however its not an issue for any other network.

If you put two and two together and realize that the site name has remained the same but we have a new .co.uk domain and visit the site please do not register yet as I am restoring the members from our backup SQL database.

Stikman I have made a nice little F.A.Q. For SenseHero 2.1 B4 with the most common problems in this tread, so please contact me when you got HTCDevScene back up running, if you want it (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ngy:
haha good stuff stickman, take your time, dont be rushed by us. Do what you do, cause its a good job. Thanks for this awesome rom!

weird issue on my gf's hero, i flashed B5 originally (with wipe), but then i flashed back to b3 with the oc kernel (without wipe). Now i can't install or update ANY apps. It just gets stuck at 'starting download'. No biggie, she can wait till b5 comes out =P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Thanks!

Maybe I will upload the JIT version,but it takes about

2 -3 hours :(

Bad internet speed,upload with 10kb/s only!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] therecklessengineer:
Superb ROM Stickman. First 2.1 I've tried, upgraded from a MoDaCo Custom ROM. I've made many friends jealous today :D

The only bug I've found is sometimes when waking from sleep, the screen doesn't show colour correctly. It is very much like using 8 bit colour rather than 24 bit in Windows 98 (Or any version of Windows - it's just '98 is the last one I can remember that actually gave me the choice).

I can't narrow it down to any particular cause, although it seems to occur much more often when sleeping with the internet browser open.

Sometimes, putting the phone to sleep and waking it up again will cure it. Other times, a re-boot is necessary.

Any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RapoxD:
It's caused by the OC kernel, have you been using OC Widget?

Most of the time it's because the freq is to low, it can normally be fixed by pressing the hangup button and turn screen backon, few times you need to do this more than once..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] therecklessengineer:
Hi RapoxD, thanks for the reply.

No, I haven't been using the OC widget. How can I use it to fix the above?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RapoxD:
Either try downloading the OC Widget from market, and set the min. off screen freq to like 480, or just live with it for now, and wait till Stikman releases the Build 5 where it will be fixed (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rosswaa:
so u can use jit but only if u disable htc sense lockscreen and launcher?

can u use the launcher from this rom?

i dont wanna change the launcher but not so fussed about the lockscreen, also what about htc widgets? do they matter?

also if i use ganii's instructions to enable jit does it just enable it in the rom and i have to reflash the rom and wipe the dalvik?

which lockscreen options are there, there are some nice ones ive seen on forums but cant find them lol

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
So far no problems with HTC launcher,but with HTC Lockscreen.

You should delete the lockscreen.HTC widgets remain with HTC Launcher.

I flashed my ROM version over original,without wipe

anything,then let it boot and running for a few minutes.

Then go into recovery menu and wipe dalvik and boot again!

JIT is enabled at the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
SenseHERO 2.1 Build 4 JIT enabled

Sorry for double post,but here is "SenseHERO 2.1 Build 4"

with JIT enabled ;)

With JIT more faster and smoothly!

I don`t deleted HTC Lockscreen at the ROM,to late to do it

now,because I can`t upload ROM again,it takes 2 hours,bad internet

speed

So you have to do it manually

*Change home laucher (perhaps not necessary, or make later)

*Delete htc lock screen

see below if you dont no how

Jit does not work with htc sense, it will give you many problems.

You can try helix launcher,launcher pro,or really anything other then sense.

To change launchers go to setting>applications>manage apps>htc sense And clear defaults.

Press home and choose a different launcher.

JIT does not like any HTC apps.. So delete your HtcLockScreen by doing this.

Code:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

adb shell
reboot

Download: SenseHERO 2.1 Build 4 JIT enabled
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Just wanted to thank all the people involved in this ROM. Just installed it, this being my first custom ROM and so far I am impressed.

I noticed a few comments about the lock screen... I was expecting to see the one with the 2 circles either side (2.1 default I think?)... Not sure what the difference is though!

Also, sorry for being the stupid question but do we get the live wallpapers in this?

Oh one last question... anyone know if I can do ipsec VPN with this?

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RapoxD:
The lockscreen with the 2 circles is an optional addon for this ROM.

There are to variants, The rotary one and the Vanilla one, both can be found in the buttom of the download page:

http://code.google.com/p/sensehero/downloads/list

Just remember to turn off Sim lock before applying the lockscreens (Remember they are NOT flash .zip's)

Also the LWP (Live WallPapers) addon can be found at the download page named LWP-Enabler_update_signed.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Sorry mate, can you explain what: "Just remember to turn off Sim lock before applying the lockscreens (Remember they are NOT flash .zip's)" means please.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
He means if you have a sim lock turn it off!!

Also you open the downloaded lockscreen file on your desktop and run the start script, you dont flash like you would a ROM or update.

Hope this helps.:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RapoxD:
Exactly, I dunno why, but if you have a sim lock pin your phone will freeze at the lockscreen when using rotary or Vanilla one.

And yes the zip files need to be extracted to your computer and then connect your phone selecting charge only, and then run the .bat file from the zip file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Perfect, thanks guys
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu_skool:
Actually, what about LWP-Enabler_update_signed, how do I install that?

Okay, I ran the rotary installer... everything seemed to work, phone rebooted but the lock screen is still the same :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
So does sensehero suffer from any camera issues at all?

such as green tint (solved in VR6)

and my new pet peeve, VR6 suffers from extreme motion blur problems in still photography. all camera apps have same problems. like having a 100 iso shutter speed no matter what the ISO is set for. This makes the camera almost useless to me.

IF Sensehero is better than that I might just jump ship. I miss my camera and lost a bunch of great photo moments because I wasn't aware of this problem (it seems noboby was, but now that I brought it up at VR it seems that others have the same problem).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
put the live wallpaper update zip on your SD card, reboot to recovery and select flash zip.

for the lockscreen put your desired wallpaper in the wallpaper folder on your desktop and run the start-script.

hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
I can't really comment as I don't use my camera but give it a try and if you don't like just do a nandroid restore. make sure you do a backup before you flash though:-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Banton:
Hi All,

Apologies but i'm really new to all of this. I'm running the HTC hero with the original 1.5 ROM. I've been looking for a custom rom for a while now but when i read through the threads, I get disheartened by all the things that aren't working. This is the first thread i've found where everyone is really upbeat and positive about the ROM. Looks really good by the way StickyMan.

I have a question about this ROM. Do you know if A2DP is working on this ROM? I use it alot as I travel alot and have bluetooth stereo headphones.

I'm sure i'm going to need help when B5 comes out which is what i'm waiting for so please be patient with me if I ask dumb questions when its out.

Thanks guys
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geo.adams:
Hi,

I finally flashed this rom yesterday, really fast and all but since then I'm unable to send any sms

I'm also unable to locate the service center menu any longer, is there a keypad code I can enter to check this and correct it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aafjes:
It's a good thing you read through all the topics to make your decision. I've tried a lot of 2.1 ROMS and this one is the most stable, fastest and bugfree i.m.h.o.

And looking at the research you've done before posting your first post, I don't expect you to ask dumb questions :). In order to flash this ROM, you'll need to root your Hero first. Here are some guides.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
anyone flashed the new radio on sensehero b4???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Banton:
Thanks for the response Aafjes. well here's my first dumb question :) when I root my hero, will I loose all my apps data and stuff (i.e. won't will stop working when I root?)

Also, i've heard a lot of people mention a specific type of backup. I've backup up my apps and data using ASTRO and MyBackup (paid for). Is there something in these two backups that i'm missing why everyone keeps referring to this other backup app whose name escapes me at the moment.

Secondly, should I wait for B5 before I root so I do them at the same time or is the no sense in waiting and I should root now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aafjes:
I can't remember whether you lose your data when rooting. But backing up your data (text messages/contacts/agenda) and apps is allways a good thing. Don't forget to back them up to your SD card. And also backup those files up to your PC. Just in case :).

Since I sync my contacts and agenda through Gmail and Google Agenda, I always only backup my text messages.

The backup you hear people about probably is a nandroid backup. After rooting your Hero, you can access the custom recovery screen (by pressing the home button when powering on your phone). There you can choose for a nandroid backup. This means it makes a complete backup of everything (settings/text messages/contacts). So if something goes wrong in the process of flashing a new ROM, you can return to the recovery screen and recover the NAND backup. Make a backup like that everytime you flash a custom ROM. I have never had to use it, but safety above everything!

You can always root. After the rooting process you'll still have "the same phone". Only difference after rooting is that you have access to all system files and can change stuff that you otherwise can't change. You become a Superuser (administrator if you like). This is needed in order to flash custom ROMS.

You've might have also read somethings about wiping your phone. This is also needed and adviced to do when flashing a custom ROM. Especially if you change from ROMS (f.e. going from SenseHero to VillainROM). Most of the times it isn't needed when you flash an updated version of a certain ROM (f.e. going from SenseHERO build 4 to SenseHERO build 5). This wiping is also in the custom recovery screen. When it is adviced to do a full wipe, this means wiping data / cache / dalvic / ext. You'll see this for yourself when you enter the wipe option. Once again, you'll first should always make a nandroid backup.

If I were you I'd root your Hero right away and already flash the Build 4. Coming from 1.5 you'll be happy to witness such speed and new options!

Good luck. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 87Vortex87:
Addition to Aafjes: You will not lose any data with gaining root access. If you have gained root access, you should replace the bootloader and then make a Nandroid Backup from the bootloader.

A Nandroid backup is different from other backups. A Nandroid backup is a backup of everything, not just(no offense) contacts, sms, e-mail and app's but the complete ROM with homescreens and all. So it's a backup of all your software.

It's important to make a Nandroid backup after you gained root access and replaced the bootloader.

If you want to have root access somewhere in the future, don't install the update to Android 2.1 and root right now! The way we gain root access is problably fixed by HTC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Banton:
Guys,

Thanks so much. All this info is so helpful. I am going to follow the instructions and root my phone right now.. Lets' hope I don't break anything. haha!!

I am not sure I Understand what this means though "you should replace the bootloader and then make a Nandroid Backup from the bootloader."?

How do I replace the bootloader and what do I replace it with? Is it as simple as pressing a button in nandroid that will replace the bootloader?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Banton:
Sorry Guys,

I told you I 'd be a pain with all these questions. I am going through the process and it has mentioned a "Recovery Image" and that I should download jesusFreaks Recovery Image.

I'm in uncharted waters for me. For rooting do i need this recovery image and if so, is JesusFreaks the one for me?

Followup question, I have downloaded nandroid 2.0 and was stupidly expecting an .apk to install. Of course that isn't thre. the instructions i'm following says I should backup using nandroid before I root, but doesn't tell me how to install the thing given there is no .apk file? Any suggestions?

Sorry!! Feel like a buit of a muppet asking so many questions but dont want to destroy my phone.

Thanks again

Waiting for SenseHero 2.1 B5(?) based on official ROM

Right now I have SenseHero 2.1 b4 and this is the most pleasant to use 2.1 ROM for the Hero I've ever tried. I ran away from 2.1 custom ROMs because of battery issues (it would only last 12 hours with my normal use) whilst the official 1.5 would get me over 40 hours!

With this one I can get almost 24 hours.

I've read somewhere in this forum that the low battery life was due to the kernel, but now that HTC has release an official update, maybe battery life goes back to the advertised one.

Having said this, I'll be waiting for a SenseHero release based on the official HTC release.

Until then I think I'll tick with this one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 87Vortex87:

So the problems continue
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aafjes:
To make it more clear: you follow the guide from theunlockr.com?

Try to remove the SD card and stick it directly into the pc through the use of a micro SD adapter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Banton:
Thanks mate,

My SD card was totally shagged. I'm temporarily using a 2GB one now and i'm back following the instructions you sent me.

I have new problem now.

I have installed and run flashrec.apk

When I run the app, i get a message on the screen that says Backup failed, count not run command. Am I suppose to type something in the command to make it work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aafjes:
Reboot and try again.

If that doesn't work: have you downgraded as in the beginning of the guide is told?

Look at one of the more earlier posts in this topic. You have to download the overclock widget from the market and insert the values presented in one of these posts. I think they are on page 2 or 3 (maybe 4 or 5 ;-)).

Hey Aafjes

I am having a nightmare. Everything I try seems to crash and burn. I just tried the downgrade process. Got to the very end of the process to save the GoldCard img using the hex editor and it says access denied. But I have no idea why because i've opened the file in read/write mode.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] h_zee13:
I just bought a new 8gb SD card class 6 and I want the App2SD to work

So i found these instructions on the forum:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ONLY RECOMMENDED ON CLASS 4+ SD CARDS. Don't bother if you don't know what this is . GIYF.

Do this process after doing everything else! So make sure you have a working custom rom installed which supports Apps2SD. This is designed for VillainROM which doesn't use a swap, if your ROM does support swap ask for a recommended amount. Also note that the ext2 partition will be unreadable from windows or through android os.

1. Backup your SD card to your computer (very important as this process will wipe all the data on it)

2. Restart your phone into recovery mode (Home + Power)

3. Select:

Partition sdcard

Partition SD

Press Home

Swap-size = 0 MB

Ext2-size = 512 MB (recommended)

FAT32-size = Remainder

Press Home

4. Once complete Reboot system now and wait! This can take 20 minutes or so to complete, so just keep waiting!

(Optional - before reboot) - Under partition sdcard you can convert the ext2 partition to ext3 - "SD:ext2 to ext3" - however this isn't recommended as it can apparently wear out your sd card quicker. I believe MaCoDo even supports ext4 as well so you can do "SD:ext3 to ext4" after the first one too. Though again I'm not sure how good/bad this will be.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now my question is:

- Do I leave swap-size to 0mb?

- What partition should I use: Ext2 - Ext3 - Ext4?

- "Ext2-size = 512 MB (recommended)" : Isn't it better if I use more than just 512MB for this partition?

- Will I have to do these steps again when Built 5 will come out or will it be automatic?

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dully79:
leave the swap at 0.

the ext size depends on how many apps you're going to install( I have 65 apps on a 512mb ext and its only used 150mb)

and no you only have to format your SD card once.

hope this helps. :-)
