Nfinite's NFX Hero rom has the lockscreen where only the bar slides down. But I believe files from Sprint 2.1 won't work with this rom. Here is the apk if anyone wants to play around with it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
make sure if you flash this you are using the Deodex'd version
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrCoolHand:
Thanks bro!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
No prob I just don't need a few pages of people talking about that causing boot loops
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Hey Zen I don't know if your still reading this thread, if you do post the updated version of this (I don't know a lot about HTC framework) is it possible to do the status bar edit like in cm 6.2 I know its possible in aosp also basically it removes the carrier line the notification tray on this.build is really small
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cportillo09:
Where!?!

Hey do you guys know where there is a working link or mirror to download this rom. Its still the smoothest one for the hero. Amazing work ZEN. :D

WHERE IS THE DOWNLOAD LINK!! Ive been wanting to flash this for ages but the link "Zen Roms Website" doesnt exist....can someone reupload it somewhere or something?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Look back like a page
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
I'm wondering if we can include wait till they get the 2.2 update in the poll. I mean this rom was my daily for awhile (honestly the best version of sense i've seen still) but I don't think that updating to .9.8 would bring anything special to the table....that i'm aware of. Course they still haven't released the source for the mytouch 32b yet so that might cause problems. I don't know
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
How would i change the 6 signals bars to 4?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
Switch out the .9pngs in (Its been awhile) either the framework-res.apk or com.htc.resources.apk with ones from a stock sense rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
I looked through both and i didnt see any .9pngs with signal bars, or am i supposed to look for something else? And what folder in the apk would it be in?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Stopping by the hero forums again. Signal bars are in htcresources apk located in system/framework. They are not .9,just regular pngs. You'll have to double up a few as 4 obviously doesnt translate to 7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rse411:
I've been using this ROM as my regular, however just recently I have not been able to download stuff from the market, weather it be apps or updates.

It tries to attempt to download and it ends up just sitting there.

Anyone else have this problem ever?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
0.9.8...? :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmxrider4444:
Just noticed over in the Mytouch slide dev forums they have a 2.2 OTA so hopefully we can get that ported, because I still love my Hero.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jumpman23005:
For some reason this rom wont let me flash gapps. Well I can flash it but no google apps appear? No market, voice, no search , no sync.

It also would not let me search for updates or themes with the updater app that comes with this rom.

Anyone have a clue why?

If I didnt have this problem I would love this rom, its extremely fast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Gapps are included in the ROM itself, no need for a separate flash.

And you can't get to the themes because Zen's server is down. Check back a few pages, someone posted the original XDA post where you can download the themed apk's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct on both accounts :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damiandarkwater:
I hope zen posts his latest 2.1 update some time. I wouldn't really expect him to anytime soon do to his busyness concerning other matter. But still, I'm excited (:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
Well it's going to be hard because they have to first make a rom for it over there. It's all .p files there might be a way to flash a modified version of it over our current rom but it's gonna be a *****. Of course since there don't seem to be any devs over there and the ones that are there, are being persecuted it doesn't look good for a rom coming out for them.

this has swype natively :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Febby:
We have the 2.2.1 ROM now hehe! Hopefully a port of the rom will get started for you guys by zen (:!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockypr:
I think Zen doesn't has the time to work on a 2.2 port. And if he releases the 9.8 will be he's last ROM. So a 2.2 required a lot of developing and updating.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ubnub82:
It would be nice tho to see a 2.2 rom from the Slide tho on the Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Even if someone did port it, i think the Camera would still be an issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damiandarkwater:
I'd be content ( no, more then content) with an updated 2.1 rom I loved the rom the way it was. There aren't many 2.2 or 2.3 features that I like and this rom was smooth n.n
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
IS it possible to remove the clock from the taskbar? I tried the clockless taskbar mod from fresh hero but it sends me into bootloop.... I assume it has something to do with the mod being for CDMA and this is a GSM port?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes it is, you'll need to edit the services.jar
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sippi4x4man:
Thank you impaler, I'll give it a shot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 1tondiesel:
Nothing new going on with this rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xjayman:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bneilson:
Anybody know how to update GMAIL

Hello all

Reading back it appears that we can not flash the most current GAPPS but I am in need of the latest GMAIL client.

Anybody know of a way to get a more current GMAIL app working on this ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gidkid:
I'm fairly sure the newest gapps depend on Android 2.3.

They won't install/run on older versions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Exactly right.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tazzpatriot:
im trying to get this rom for my brothers phone,,, is there a link? the zen link seems to be dead
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
If you look back a few pages there should be some links from users

No music player issue. Have you tried wiping and reflashing the ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sprockets2000:
Twice but I am going to try a third time and if it doesnt work logcat and post or bug submit, thanks for reply you are using the newest MyTouch release correct? Or Lite?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrandoKC:
Yup on 9.7. Have you tried a third party player? If you have issues one of those may be an sd issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sprockets2000:
Well I finally got Music to work after 5 wipes/installs I finally cleared data in applications/manage applications

here is the logcat incase it is something that wasnt just specific to me

[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Love that theme Brando. What is it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrandoKC:
It's actually stock sense. I received a very heavy dose of inspiration from IPawd in the screenshots thread.

I've attached the background below.

The battery widget is battstat, the clock is Analog Animated Clock(Free). the VM icon is from Godzson's icon pack. The camera and internet icons are from Bettercut icon packs.

I was able to change the font with Font Installer (.99) from the market.

I've also included my lock screen for your viewing pleasure.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Well done man! Thanks for the info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrandoKC:
Thanks! If I can help at all shoot me a PM or reply to the thread.

I've gotten so much from XDA any help I can provide to give back to the group.

I forgot the weather widget is Weather Forecast from the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danbula:
Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bootlooper:
This is for those of us with temperamental heroes who can not boot this ROM due to overclocked kernel. This is the kernel from the froyo nightly 08/28/2010 combined with ramdisk from ZenEXP 0.9.7. Please note I do NOT intend to continue to update this file and post on a regular basis.

Instructions:

1. Download the attached file and rename the file to hybrid.img (i.e. take off the .zip). This is NOT a zipped file but the forum does not allow uploading of .img files

2. Nandroid

3. Wipe everything

4. Flash ZenEXP rom from recovery -- I used odexed, do not know if deodexed would work. Do not reboot yet!!

5. adb push hybrid.img /sdcard/hybrid.img

6.adb shell

cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd2 -- ignore any out of space error you may get

flash_image boot /sdcard/hybrid.img -- ignore any errors

reboot

7. Enjoy ZenEXP

To the devs: Thanks for a wonderful ROM. However, why not package your own non-overclocked kernel so all may boot and make the OC'd kernel a download in the updater for those that want it. I presume that would be a 1 line change in the kernel config and a recompile but maybe is more extensive than I imagine. Again thanks for what you do for free when at least one of you does not even use a hero anymore!!

Edit: shortly after this post dev added a flashable kernel. Please use his if you are having problems..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Thanks for the guide to help people. Since most people want OC we make it stock so they do not ask a million questions about how to get OC etc.

Most phones do boot without problems but there are some that do not. I will make a flashable zip for the people that cannot boot with the OC kernel so they can flash the rom then flash a new non OC'ed kernel if they cant boot.

Check the website for more details the download link is near where you download the rom.

Enjoy the work...

Notes lack of donation button on zenroms.com...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zippy-man:
Ya zen has gotta setup his paypal :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I have paypal now :)

Also for those who can't overclock you can use my ZenKernel with perflock enabled. Just flash it after you flash the Rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Zen, any luck in researching the OC issue I mentioned earlier? Would an easy fix be to run your ZenKernel with no PerfLock? SetCPU? I'm OK with either but am mainly curious if it is just me that has the stock kernel running at 691 (instead of 710) or if other folks do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
Not sure on your exact problem, but I'm using 0.9.7 with the no perflock ZenKernel and SetCPU and it's running fantastic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nickelking:
I hope you share some of the cash with Zippy! Zippy, you'd probably like to check the code in the donate button in your sig, it keeps leading me to a paypal error detected page.

Why is it so strange for the SMS char limit to be 160? I was under the impression that 160 is the CDMA limit.

Haha try telling that to the Cm6 fanboys, "Sense ruh roh SENSE YA BIG DUMMY" cm6 was laggy as hell for me after nightly 8.18 great rom but way to laggy cant wait to see Zen port a 2.2 sense rom if it hits the Aria
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrandoKC:

I'm in the process of backing up my SD and Apps etc to try this out, however I was wondering if there's a USB Tether that'll work with it. I'm currently on CM 6 RC1 and become reliant on the USB Tether for internet.

I know there's Wireless Tether but the drivers for my Wireless card on Linux don't care much for Adhoc mode so WILL NOT work with wireless tether, therefore I really need USB Tether. I know there's an app but I don't think it works on all roms...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ptowsvc:

is anyone haveing a problem with beautiful widgets clock out of sync with this rom??:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] swapped:
Love the rom for the most part but had to go back to rooted stock today.

This rom would only give me 6 hours battery life. Charged it fully last night and when i woke up today 5.5 hours later it was on its last bit of batter and shortly after that it powered down.

Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing that i installed that i normally dont use is the handsent sms app to get rid of the stupid voicemail texts...

any ideas - i might try this again sometime this week.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
I have fine battery life, but some people were complaining of 100% wake.

Make sure your phone is sleeping, if not try flashing a ZenKernel from the other thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ptowsvc:
bluetooth issue

found 1 more item , when screen times out bluetooth shuts off.when driving without charging you have to set display to never sleep. is there a workaround for this???

update:today was my first day back to work since installing this rom[truck driver] using my plantronics head set while chargeing no problem,disconnect charger and when screen dims,bluetooth disconnects.after a few times of this happening bluetooth will not work and half to reboot phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nickelking:
You could try an app like keep alive http://www.appbrain.com/app/kr.co.imapp.keepalive obviously that's just a workaround but it's something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ptowsvc:
thanks,will look into that

UPDATE:i am up for the total idiot award!!!with all of the battery issues floating around i installed battery booster.well it was saving power by shutting off my blue tooth.and my other problem a few posts back about beautiful widgets clock going out of sync,you guessed it ,battery booster causing that too.thanks for putting up with my dumb ass ,and i hope this helps open all of our eyes about some of these 3rd party apps!!much aloha to all!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Slightly OT but....

I can not get this rom to run at 710, the best I can get is 691. I believe this is because I flashed a different kernel for CM6 (not this rom) and it changed the ram disk or governor or something and it carried through the nandroid back to this rom.

Is there a way to flash the original kernel with boot.img (or whatever) to put this rom back at 710? I don't want to have to completely wipe and start over.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nickelking:
Ha! we've all had those facepalm moments. at least there's a solution!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
You could flash the ZenKernel in the other thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ThaSik1:
Love the swiftness of this rom man. Like i quit using cm6 for this (which is saying alot for me lol) ha but I've read thru the thread and haven seen this question asked just yet so hopefully i wont get flamed lol But is there a way to change the mms url for my carrier (cellular south) or is it hardcoded with the fix for sprint only? I've tried the ##numbers# combination but get nowhere so I figured i'd ask someone in the forum in case they've run into this issue as well or at least have an answer to throw back at me :) Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaycustom:
Super-sick ROM! I never thought I'd come back to Sense after going vanilla, but this ROM is super fast and stable. I just installed ADW so that's what I'm rocking ATM, but I'll be switching back and fourth daily.

Is there any way to change the 3 items in the launcher? (phone,apps, and contacts)

Can I add Sprint visual Voicemail, and/or Sprint TV?

Didn't see this posted anywhere.

Anyone else having trouble with the HTC weather widget not updating? The majority of the time, the location is "Current location" rather than the actual city. Manual refreshing doesn't help. On version 9.6.3, it worked fine until about a week ago. Now with 9.7, it's worse. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ptowsvc:
i had problems with beautiful widgets not updating.it was caused by a battery monitoring app. make sure you have not installed any strange apps lately.also try a restart with pulling the battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vnoogent:
Thanks. Tried that to no avail. Even tried wiping, and reflashing 9.6.3. Without installing any apps, still had the same problem. Something with the rom I'm guessing. I reflashed Fresh 1.5, and it worked just fine. Strange since it used to work in zen just fine. Everything else with location associated with it updates just fine with zen 9.7.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gaspowered1:
I don't believe it's because you flashed a different kernel. I just flashed this for the first time (this is my first custom rom period) and setcpu shows the speed maxes out at 691.

This is really no issue for me though, as my Hero is now fast. No significant lag that I can detect. All the functions I normally use work perfectly. The only thing I can mention is the voice mail notification from *86 whenever I reboot my phone. Not really an issue though as I just go into settings and clear the errant notifications from there.

Zen, Zippy... Thank you so much for all your efforts. This rom has really made my week. I truly enjoy my phone now.

Cheers
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rally187:
this rom is pretty great been running zenEXP with zens nopreflock kernel with launcher pro and besides looking sharp it runs amazing. congrats zen. only thing i was wondering was if anyone had *cough* clear lockscreen *cough* :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vnoogent:
Not an issue with the rom at all. Figured out it was an sd card problem. Just got a new one, reformatted, and weather widget is updating normally.

Try removing your previous HTC_IME.apk first and see if that makes a difference.

Also, any questions or comments should be in the theme thread (find it on my sig). That way we don't clutter the ROM thread. Thanks. :D
