[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
It's amazing, isn't it? It's hard to say when it will be in stable beta. Because as I know it, all the graphics have to be reupdated, and that's a ****-ton of work. I expect that they'll make some major progress within the next 6 or 7 days. I don't know the third dev, but I know Nfinite's work and I've of course used Dead3nce's insane kernels, so I can vouch for them being incredibly dedicated devs who still love our Heroes :D.

I already PMed the other dev who I know really wanted to get 2.2 Sense running, you know him as Zenulator. I cannot wait till they all start collaborating. Can you imagine this ROM perfected AND running one of Zen's amazing AnyKernels? It'll be crazy. I wonder if we would be able to incorporate any of Cyanogen's mods into it, too. Then again, Cyanogen's mods are all for the AOSP framework, not the HTC framework, but we'll see! We managed to make custom HTC IMEs, so I imagine we could do the same with the other Sense apps as well.

Personally, I'm just going to be so happy to be able to get the new GMail app since it's 2.2 only. It has one key feature which I've yearned for quite some time; the ability to show quoted text.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
True True, It would be nice to just have froyo Sense Roms. I want the look of sense but the speed of Stock and hopefully this port will be able to do that. Its amazing when you look at what a community of Devs and dedicated people can do for a phone that HTC and Sprint just decided to forget about, I mean if the dev community can put froyo on a Hero or a g1, what excuses to these companies have for not continuing OS updates for these phones?

I currently switch between Cyanogen and nfx's Sprint odex rom that he released a few days ago and Im content but like I was saying before I would love a 2.2 sense rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Aye. Every so often I feel left out of the cool kids crowd and try out CM6 :P. However, the look of Sense, the quality of the apps, and of course, my biggest peeve with CM6, Sense's Smartdialer always bring me back. Getting tired of being in Limbo like that, I can't wait till Nfinite and Zenulator take this when its a finished product and use it as their base.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etnpnys:
Thank you, sir!

Well, to get technical... You *could* use Chrome-to-Phone to dial a number in a web page...

My thing is that there are some features that I really would like to retain from CM6: roaming option, JIT options, lock home in memory, and the easy ability to force apps onto the SD card. Would it be possible to install a CM6 settings .apk onto this to get these features?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockypr:
People remember this is an Alpha ROM, the CM6 begin like that after like 2 months of hard word it became stable. Let 's all collaborate and support this guys that are making possible what Sprint & HTC didn't want to invest money.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etnpnys:
I completely agree!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ocs111:
I am with your rockypr; you know this is not these peoples day job. It is a hobby, something you have to enjoy. I think these guys do an awesome job.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Artifex14:
Wifi fix !

Hi everyone, , I'm working on a port of this ROM to G1 !

But HERE's probably a fix for the Wifi !

Hoping it will work !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
Someone let met know if that works, if so I may convert
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdhscanes24:
DL'ing now!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdhscanes24:
Cant get phone to boot after flashing the wifi fix. Wiped flashed rebooted, and no success. Gave it two shots but no avail.

Used this as my daily for a few day, then went back to CM6 BlackMod, but it just doesnt compare, so now I'm coming back home :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
Well darn
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdhscanes24:
May just be me though. Best advice i can give you is to give it a flash yourself. Just remember to Nandroid first :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
Did the nandroid and flashed it. Didn't work and all my restores boot loops. Had to redo everything, wasn't to thrilled about that at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Any further progress, Nfinite?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdhscanes24:
Did you wipe before restoring?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] entarion:
give me please Linpack results,thanx

This Rom is stable?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
NO this rom is not stable yet. It's a work in progress and this is an alpha build for testing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] AwfulFaded:
Sorry Artifex14, that took me from a semi-working rom to a non-boot, nuclear hot, Hero. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdhscanes24:
Hmm. Very strange. Sorry to hear you had to start fresh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TotalCrisis:
You're not the only one!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
Hows the status with this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
We're still working on it. Sorry about the lack of updates lately. All 3 of us have been busy with life/women/work/school and such.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Which is way more important. :)

Sprint...Really? Froyo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
Haven't heard anything in a while, just figured I would ask. Enjoy yourselves!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdhscanes24:
You guys have no reason to apologize. As much as you've accomplished in such a short time you are more than entitiled to your life/women/work/school and anything else.

Just don't leave us hanging on development :p​
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockypr:
Funny Note...

I have CM6, and I installed the ROM whitout doing a WIPE.

When it finished installing and the Phone Boot.

The phone was with all the settings a made up in CM6 but with Sense Froyo. LOL.

It let me choose to use LaucherPRO or HTC Sense, but Sense din't work. Launcher PRO did. Gallery Din't work. Market ask me for the password but the keayboard din't work. Contacts and Phone wasn't there, Etc LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] etnpnys:
Do you mean that all of the settings were *retained* or that all of the CM6 settings were *available* to change?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockypr:
*retained*
[Hero CDMA Android Development] musicmannetje:
Just to be sure: Is this ROM for the CMDA or the GSM version of the Hero?

I'd love to try the sense...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
ok im not trying to make you look stupid but um...this is a CDMA Forum section..lol! That right there should have been your answer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] musicmannetje:
you're absolutely right!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
its all good man..one time i was in a ROM thread and asked if it was for the HERO when i was under this section..lol!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
CDMA ;) 10char
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dubbin_Irie:
Ok little tidbits I noticed off my first couple loads.

The home screen scroll at the bottom is not aligned properly.

Also not sure if its sw or hw problem but the hot spot tether doesn't work.

Oh and on start up the set up keys at the bottom only show half way. Texts come in good. Haven't tried calls but I switched back to .7 nfx for now. Battery life is phenomenal hope this port will be just as great once complete. Thanks for the great work.

Upon more playing after work the camera is broken.

And I am wondering what is the file name of the full-size keyboard? And I just install that from a file manager correct?

Oh weather and clock both force close. And xda force closed whenever I would reload it after responding to a text.

That is all for now :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tennockey:
the wait is terribly painful. wondering how awesome its going to be when its fully working. tick tock....CM6 seems so much less interesting while im waiting for this. keep it up guys, your dedication rocks, but do take time for yourselves. as others have said, we're not going anywhere
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Well once they get there hands on a copy of Froyo from the My Touch 3G which is suppose to get the update tomorrow things should really start to fly and we should have a 100% working rom in no time :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iaminflames:
Thats amazing! I didnt know the mytouch 3g was getting 2.2. In that case, this rom may be scrapped when sense froyo comes to the mytouch tomorrow with the same architecture and same screen res as our heros! CAN'T WAIT!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] benbenondatrack:
^ IF that happens, how long will it take to port and does that mean we can still have sense
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dubbin_Irie:
The mytouch is aosp unless it ends up being espresso like the mytouch slide then it may be easier from the looks of things between espresso and sense
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Im excited about the possible mytouch 3g froyo port
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TpyoKnig:
huh?

wasnt the whole point of this ROM was because of HTC Sense?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
If anything, the mt3g port will fix functionality in a lot of places in this wildfire port.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
.....and it still is?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
I think the point is the fact that a froyo version exists that works with our screen res
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
I agree, it's a HUGE and almost complete step, but I'm not exactly looking forward to the GSM limitations when used on CDMA roms (default text app can't auto-split/GSM texting works different) and of course the Mobile Networks settings.

Anyways. for those interesting, here's the supposed changelog for the MT3G (not sure if all of it will apply to any sort of port)

• New Fully Integrated Exchange Client

◦ Improved security: Numeric pin and alpha-numeric password options have been added to unlock the device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] iaminflames:
does anyone know if the 2.2 for mt3g will be sense based?? I know that earlier updates to the mt3g were non-sense. Hmmm guess we'll find out shortly, but ill cross my fingers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] benbenondatrack:
its non sense based thats why idk how that will help this wildfire port
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I think it is sense though, otherwise you're correct, it wouldn't help much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] benbenondatrack:
its said to be expresso sense based
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
To my best knowledge the 3g is not sense based, that would be the slide and it is not getting froyo just yet. But there may be things that will help us on the wildfire and there may not, until we get it and rip it apart, don’t go getting to excited just yet.

We will have a 2.2 sense rom it will just take some time, imagine that htc has tons a people and it has taken them months to do it. We managed to get boot and some functionality in a few days.

I now everyone is excited about it but just remember we all want the best so it will take some time.

Just trying to keep everyone grounded, as it seems this can get out of hand to quickly with all the speculations.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] benbenondatrack:
your absolutely right..i love sense so much i went back to 2.1 cm6 messed up my camera.. it would freeze and i would have to do a bettery pull. htc sense is the best
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tubazeppelin:
Yeah I was running AOSP 0.7 for about 48 hours but I missed Sense too much. It's so smooth, so pretty and everything works!

Back to ZenEXP for me until we get these 2.2 Sense ROMs ironed out.

Or, you know, I could just man up and buy an EVO and sell my Hero to my kid brother to offset the cost of upgrading out of contract :|
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Unless it is for the roger 32b or maybe even the 32b I think one of them had sense, but not sure
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
How much will the mytouch froyo update thats rolling out help us
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Cant answer this until we get a hold of it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockypr:
I hope that although they are no new update if you can put pictures of the progress LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
I'm gonna keep my eye out hopefully soon
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raymond4:
Anyone know if the mytouch 3g got the 2.2 froyo update yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
That happened today didn't it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well I havent seen it pop up any where so I think it may be delayed for some reason, Sorry I havent updated much family, and work just been a little much lately, I will be back working on it as of this evening. as soon as I talk to the others adn wee whats been going on I will try to consolidate this into an info update for you all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
My bud said he got the update..but he isn't rooted. I will go over tomorrow and get a nandroid from him.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
No worries, take your time. I just like popping in every so often to see if an update has been made or not :).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
If you were a die hard you would have gotten it already :D Just so everyone knows and we can get back on subject they got a thread for in the mytouch section for this and they will post it when they get it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
yea well i am but he lives 2 hours from me PLUS i have a family and couldnt just drop everything to go get it:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raymond4:
Do you know if it is the 2.2 sense update that he got?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
As far as i know it is..thats why im gunna go tomorrow to find out. I will let everyone know. talkin to him bout this stuff is well pointless..lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tubazeppelin:
I am a complete idiot! Someone delete this post plz
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
are you implying im just trying to get things stirred up? if so then im sorry you feel this way. i have contributed many things to the community so im not trying to make people think anything of this. If it is then we have the update and if its not then my friend will get a swift kick in the ass for making me drive 2 hours for nothing..lol. Bout to head out that way to him and will let everyone know once i get there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tubazeppelin:
Oh not at all. I was just making a joke which, viewing now, just makes me look like a troll. I'll blame it on the hangover and delete the post. I don't want to stir anything up with anyone, and I don't think you are. Take your time. Lord knows real life (RL) comes before anything that happens on this forum.

I'm a huge supporter of everything here and if I knew how to contribute I would. I am in debt to everything this forum has shown me and everyone on it. I majored in music and minored in English when I was in college, and thanks to XDA and all you devs I can talk android with the best of them. Sad thing is I'm all talk :|

WOW also did see the "to him" which I just noticed now coming back to the thread. Jesus my face is red.

G sensor

Does anyone have issues with the accelerometer not rotating on apps or is it just me?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefthomas99:
It depends on the app you use
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
I'm just currious how many people have paint rubbing off around there "Home", "Back", "Call" and "End" buttons and if you just choose to live with it or if you found a case or skin to go over it that covers it up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
I live with it.

Sprint...Really? Froyo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Same here but it sucks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
Yea it does suck if I could get an EVO where I live I would but the Sprint Towers are owned by a company called Swiftel and they made Sprint put a block on all SD & IA #'s until they can reach an agreement about upgrading the network here to 4g and since we just got 3g last year you can guess how long that's gonna take lol I thought about buying this Otterbox Case but not sure I really want to spend $50 bucks on a case, I love HTC phones and never had this issue on any of the phones I owned in the past so kinda disappointing they over looked something like this :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Neo31697:
otter box 30 bucks from walmart.com
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
yea i found it on amazon for that as well after posting :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
I have the Commuter Otterbox Case. I found it on cellguru back in May and I love it. They have the one you're looking at and it's only $28.84 + $1.99 s/h. They have good prices on just about every accessory. Check it out!

Edit: sorry, didn't see neo's post till' after I posted this. :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
Ok..got the nand and when I get off work will post it up.

Zagg’s InvisibleSHIELD

I used Zagg’s InvisibleSHIELD full body for the HTC CDMA Hero and it has cut outs for the roller ball and the talk & end buttons ,but I did not remove the cutouts for the talk & end and it has held up for over a year that way. I like this because It does not make the phone to bulky and protects it at the same time.

Go to website and check it out see if this could help for future phones.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
yea I have used Invisble Shield before and did not like the way it felt a little to sticky feeling for me but had I known the paint was going to wear away like it has I would have gone that route live and learn I guess lol good thing I only paid $30 for the hero new at that price I can justify the crappy paint job had I paid the price it was when it first came out I would have been pissed :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xxnirvana69xx:
Counting down...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pegb856:
I use a BestSkinsEver whole body skin on mine, however it does not have the skin pieces for the send and end buttons. I have been using BSE skins for so many years that I always have an extra piece laying around so I just cut out my own button covers. Same material as the more expensive brands only without the lifetime warranty. $7.99 plus $2 shipping here in the U.S.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Hello peg , good to see you still running around and helping, lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
I use just one of the super cheap black rubber covers for mine. It's textured and soft so it doesn't wear the paint, and I baby my phone regardless of it being outdated within the 8 months I have had it :P

Wow dude, you paid $30 for yours!? How did you get that? My carrier was the best one at the time with the deal, and I paid $100/pc ($150 - $50 mir)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] umrico:
I've seen threads go off topic but this is light-years away!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
:D LOL I just woke up was clicking buttons and thought I was in the general section
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kingdazy:
Ya, think there's like a whole section for this kinda chatty-cathy stuff? lol. can we get back to ROMtalk? ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Meh, yeah maybe that was a little south of on topic :P

Hell I say just write it off as bumped for freshness.

What is the state of the rom as of now?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bdizzel1982:
I got it from Best Buy for $30 with new activation and yes guys it is off topic :D but hey we got some time before were going to have this thing 100% so thought I would ask a general question as I know it's a known issue with the hero so but all the other threads are people crying about it where as I was just wondering what people did to live with it so figured I would ask :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pegb856:
Hey Hey, I'm still here lurking. Been a little concerned about your scarcity though, I hope all is well there. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well life is just crazy, and working on this release just requires so much work that when I get into it , I just dont have time for much else. Plus been looking for a second job to keep money rolling as business has really dropped back lately.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rockypr:
So... No more updates coming?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's not what he said... he just needs time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
What do you do? If you do any graphic design I have a project you could quote me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Artifex14:
Wifi, GPS, ... fix is hopefully working with this file ! Just flash in in the recovery ! It should boot and work !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
I do graphic/web work if you'd like to shoot me over a PM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wfetter:
Artifex14,

Did boot. WiFi errors when turning it on. Bluetooth appears to work though and didn't without this patch. Gps thinks I'm in Spain just south of the French border. I'm in Chicago so that's just a little off here. It always did that though even without the patch.

Could be prl though as it shows 60670.

Newbie question: This ROM is only for CDMA Hero?

Sorry if this question sounds stupid but i'm not sure if this will work on a GSM Hero. If not, will be any port or similar?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
This will not work in gsm... someone would have to port it :)

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] customhdrider:
Would be nice to know the status of this...
