Love this ROM!

One bug: After installing the 'bubbled themes', I've only 3 themes left... And only one is bubbled... :'(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
For the dude with the market issue:

Delete "android_secure" and it should work again after some time :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patko226:
thanks for help, but problem was probably with the ext. partition wipe.... when i boot another rom and after didnt do full wipe, market works corectly... strange but now is working...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Hi guys, I think market issues are depend on market update, today I also got some issues, like stuck some apps in installing state. To fix issues I was removed update in settings -applications, then market was auto updated again and now I have 2.06 version and it looks like in 2.2, with ability to set auto update.Google did it again! I hope they will do the same for gmail soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
Just a couple queries,

Would it be possible to have an update zip that brings back the 'bubbles' behind the icons?

And i dont know if its just me, but friendstream only shows twitter updates
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
1) Ok, will do that later

2) My friendstream shows facebook updates, but i have no twitter (Peep) only HtcFacebook app.

Added addon into 2nd post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
a) AMAZING to see slide ports still being created. if one of these actually can work properly in all of the important ways then I'll be a very happy man.

Issues I've found in earlier slide ports which I hope to see resolved in this one (note: I haven't TRIED this one yet, but figure it's worth posting the known issues list for hero slide ports from the past):

- exchange contacts show up twice in contacts list (once for each type of exchange connection - every other rom (any release of sense, vanilla 2.1, vanilla 2.2) only shows one contact, slide ports always show them twice

- camera typically is broken (at least video recording is broken) in slide ports

- slide sense rotation is amazing - it should be enabled, or optional, in slide ports for the hero. it's really the only major advantage to using slide ports on the hero imho. the themes are nice but really not all that exciting to me. slide ports are the ONLY hero roms with fast home screen rotation that doesn't drive you crazy when you rotate your phone while you wait for widgets to redraw for several seconds

- general instability after a day or two of hard use (always happens to me with slide ports, I do'nt know why, sorry I can't say more, but random reboots, freezing, fcs, alerts that make no sense popping up, I've had that every time but it sometiems takes days for them to show up).

:-)

Ok - so I'm not saying any of these things are in here, but if you do find any of these things going on then I guess you could take my post as a "please fix if you get time" list. :-)

This will now be the FIFTH rom I'll be flashing in a 48 hour period. Exciting times for the little hero!

Congrats on the hard work - I'm sure it's a good rom. I'll be VERY happy if one or more of my list of common issues is fixed with this rom.

Cheers!

Don
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh yea, and I've always liked the icon bubbles in slide ports too, so +1 on that request LoL

:-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
Quoting myself, do you still need screenshots regarding the icons hawst?

Thanks for your hard work!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow, that's quite the boot animation! eye-popping!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
really nice ROM. Great work, but I second that Friendstream widget does not sync with Facebook, only twitter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no home screen rotation - please see if there's a way to add this through a patch, it's such an exciting feature of slide roms on the hero and is tragically missing here.

VIDEO RECORDING WORKS PERFECTLY! you have to change the recording mode from mpg4 to 264 codec or else the hero cant' play it back, but it works great! and the camera works great too! like sense roms in quality but faster, better.

and the slide gallery is amazing, it's so fast, so smooth, thumbs just work (no silly waiting around), I'm in love this the multimedia aspects of this rom.

I really hope home screen rotation can be enabled. I know in one of the older slide roms tehre was a patch to enable home screen rotation. in another one it "just worked" (was enabled by default). and in third one he never enabled rotation for some reason.

cheers and congrats on the best slide rom yet!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh by the way, the annoying "doubled exchange users in contacts" bug is still here - but I can live with that one. it's a nuisance but not a deal breaker. I wonder if all slide phones have this same issue or if it's just when they get ported to the hero that the issue arises? it's definitely a bug...minor though.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamsud:
will try it tomorrow
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ya know, this just might be my favorite sense rom!

yea, friendstream widget only shows twitter (app shows both though, I've heard of this bug before in sense roms though). yea, it doesn't rotate (yet, I really hope you can add that please!). yea exchange contacts are doubled (oh well). But it's so fast, so smooth.

and gaming is pretty good on it! you must have JIT enabled in this rom?

raging thunder 2 using your 710 kernel is quite smooth and quick! faster than with the latest froyo nightly build imho, although just barely so. Not the fastest I've played, but plenty fast enough to make 3d gaming a possibility on the hero.

apps2sd works really well.

it's really stable so far.

no wake up issues so far.

battery life sucks so far BUT I have just gotten a couple of unexpected "Google maps has FC'd" type of messages while I was doing something else. I don't recall even starting google maps, let alone leaving it running. So who knows, maybe that is why it was eating battery. gps icon wasn't showing in bar so I doubt it was talking to the gps, but who knows.

so I'll watch battery life over night and see how it goes.

Great work on this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
sure enough, battery life has improved DRAMATICALLY since I got those FCs of a ghost google maps process. obviously something bad happened there. hopefully it was a once in a million event.

Currently using this as a music player and constant screen on and configuring home and away "modes" and syncing facebook, twitter, exchange (push) and google (push), and it's still at 99% after an hour.

loving this!

I can't believe you've turned me into a sense lover again!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robtue:
This is a fantastic rom, loving it. I agree with dkelly that the rotation is one of the best things about a slide rom - any chance of that?

Is there a way to get contacts to replace camera in right button as in your screen shot?

Grest job, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
if notice in the release notes and screenshots from chpoubs slide port http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=666640&highlight=chpoubs he added rosie sensor rotation in the last version (4.2) due to popular request.

see how cool it looks in those screenshots? :-D

I'm really happy with this rom. it's very strange. I've been using one of a half dozen froyo builds for weeks and weeks now. I do'nt know why but normal hero sense doesn't do it for me.

This rom is really a pleasant surprise!

good luck with updates for it, hope you can keep improving on this already solid performer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Will take a look on this when have a time

Fully agree with you guys - this is most amazing feature of slide rom and it is mostly done already, will be in 2.0 version. Are u thinking that i'm put "Viva Chpoubs" in title just for fun ?! :p

I'll be very thankfull if somebody here can do this... Of coz i'll do it myself if nobody will do it before.

If nobody disagree i will just make it as default.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
Anyone else having problems with Bluetooth calls? It connects to my Parrot CK3100 but i am not able to call when dailing from the carkit..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Oops! Will update this addon soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
GZFan you can take a look for more themes there - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695439 . As i checked most (or may be even all) are bubbled.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
Sounds like a plan, I'll stay with the old version, until the new 2.3 version has the mascot too :)

Best regards, glad that ure developing for so long :) :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JFenlon:
If you want the mascot on 2.3, just flash the zip here for the circle battery, it's included with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
Thx a lot! :) best regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Legacyleader:
ok ive found a strange bug... if you install the Status bar with the Circle battery the hardware button lights doesnt work anymore... can some one confirm this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Yes, i think it is so, all addons needs to be update to version 2.3. (All addon which changes the framework-res.apk)

PS. Working on 2.4, hope to release it by this week (with all addons updated and some new cool features)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Enter15:
Hi again! I found out a strange bug which happened twice to me - after few days of using Tegro (I'm not turning phone off at night) multitouch just gone. Hero doesn't recognize more than one finger and to 'recover' multitouch I need to restart the phone. At first time I thought that any app could broke it, but after restart I was using the same apps and everything was fine until this morning.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1320:
this Rom rocks

Ok I know im new to this and may ask some stupid questions sometimes but i would just like to say that this Rom rocks. I really In joy the home screen that rotates and all the themes.

If i could ask 2 more questions.

Sometimes it seems a bit laggy and im not sure if its because i didnt have a double

partitioned sd card. I have an 8gig card but im not sure the speed. Also would this maybe also cause some forced closes.

no 2: im still not sure how to back it all up, because every time i start a new rom its a long process trying to get everything back the way i like it. Is there an idiot proof simple way to back everything up so i can restore it.

im really looking forward to an update, thanks so much for an awesome Rom:):):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
Thanx!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Doesn't have such issue. My phone working w/o reboots sometime for a week or more. Multitouch is here, even i reinstall/update/replace some parts of system w/o reboot, nothing happed with multitouch yet.

PS. Which kernel do u use ?

1) Yeah, rom a bit laggy in some places, like scrolling of all apps or if you have a lot of smses. Nothing i can do yet.

2) Thereare 2 ways: 1 - is to use nandroid backup/restore in recovery, this let u restore your whole rom with all apps & settings if something will go wrong; 2 - use any of app, like Titanium Backup or MyBackup (you can search in market). But be careful in 2nd way, restore apps across roms can give u FCs or other issues coz of incompatibility, especially migrating between 2.1 - 2.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1320:
thanks for quick reply, my internets gone a bit crazy i cant seem to switch it off, any ideas. Im in South Africa and its still a bit expensive for internet?

I cant wait for the update awesome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Enter15:
I'm using 7hero-kernel-nploc ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Do u use SetCPU or any other similar app and what freq settings for cpu ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Enter15:
Yes, I use SetCPU with 652/245 ondemand (sometimes 710 MHz in performance mode for games)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Too high speed can be cause for any problems, even absolutely impossible... Can u try to not use speeds above 652, even in games for couple of days and look does it helps or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Enter15:
OK ;) I had set my phone to 614/245 in 'ondemand' mode and restarted it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wesik:
Hmm, I'm just wondering if it is possible to make this ROM fully compatible with other dpi settings? I tried to change dpi on my hero and it went ok but there were some glitches (like dialer was "too small" and not centered on the screen). It would be awesome if all the basic ROM apps would look ok with 140 dpi for example.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] seo:
its impossible for sense ui... or at least requires a lot of *hacking* ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wesik:
uhm sucky :/

thanks for a quick reply though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeekymouse89:
most awsome rom ever :D love it, good work. Im english but its still the best rom ive used in a while. Two questions is this based on 2.2 or 2.1 ? Also can I change the camera button on the home screen to the contacts ?

Squeeky
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
1) 2.1 based

2) No way for now. But i m working on make it customizable...

Btw, i m wondered, why still nobody did like that for this ROM - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809356. If someone around want to help a little, and a not afraid to use command line & change 2 lines of source codes - please PM me. But please look first on to apktool from googlecode and try unpack and pack back any of app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SKRPhoenix:
Been using this rom for a couple of days now, coming from VR12 (which I have had installed for ever!)

At first I am a bit unsure about new roms becuase VR12 has been great, so I usually end up going back to it. Not this time however! I installed Tegro a few days ago, persisted with it, installed all my apps and set up everything like in VR12. It's running sweet!

In fact (even though I haven't benched it) it seems smoother/quicker for me than VR12. The only things I really changed are the Kernal (FlyKernal12pre) and overclocked to 691, as I always did in VR12.

So thanks for a great rom! I look forward to updates. :)

Any news on the right button remap and bootscreen? ;)

Future Version Rom

First of all hello and thank you for the work done on this ROM that I really appreciated.

Now I have a quick question for you: can one hope for a ROM in the same genre as this one Froyo. I guess it takes a lot of work but I'd be willing to participate in various trials test potential to advance the work in case you decide you or another developer to work on this type of Roma in 2.2 even in 2.3 which from what I read everywhere will probably not possible (for 2.3) because too many differences on the hardware since the release of our beloved HERO that I think there is still a bright of life ahead of him in view of performance that you get to get with.

In the hope of a new work done, I wish you good luck for your future development whether in HERO or any other device.

And all continue to live like that the Android community still young and being so patient with us users who do not necessarily understand all the subtleties of the creation of these alternative ROM.

Have fun with this system and I hope a positive response to some of my requests.

Armahero.

P.S. : Sorry for my english, it's a google traduction.:) :) :) :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shdy_132:
thx but what about arabic localization

Now that is what i call a very nice looking Fast ROM

but is there a hope for an Arabic localization?

Specially for web browsing & contacts & Messages
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Working on RTL, it seems rom not supposed to support, so mostly it will be delayed to 2.5 version. Hope to release 2.4 in next few days
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Hello, 2.4 is mostly ready to release, now i'm building/testing all nessesaries.

While 2.4 on its way to release. Let met give all of you small gift - FlipClock widget which can installed at same time with stock ClockWidget. No more need to choose - u can use both widgets at the same time!

How to install it to test:

1) Make a nandroid backup!!!

2) Download HtcClockWidgetFlip.apk

3) Copy it to /system/app (eg. using Root Explorer) OR install it like any other app (Do only one thing, not both together, choose which you prefer better)

4) Reboot

5) If u still not see new widget (It is named - Clock widget (flip) ) - please do Clear Data for HTC Sense

6) PROFIT!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] seo:
lol nice! I never considered the posibility to have them both. thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SKRPhoenix:
w00t! 2.4 is nearly here! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
2.4 is here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JFenlon:
Wow, lots of new features :) downloading now, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SKRPhoenix:
Thanks for the Rom! I will give it a go over the weekend. I'd love to today, but I need my phone working as it should today. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] okdac:
very very very nice work, indeed !!

May I say : very nice and very thanks for the GREAT job!

I've been running Floyo 1.2.0 since a while, and found it soooo smooth, but, going "back" to tegro 2.4 made me fall in love with Sense again...

What a dilemma !! So nice to have the choice.

Thousand thanks :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JFenlon:
Installed it, seems very smooth so far.

Of the new features I noticed that in Tegro Settings there is only 1 option for "Home button mode", which is Tegro. Maybe I've assumed wrong but I thought this option would be to restore the regular home button action but it seems to be missing.

Another thing, I really like the stock Android lockscreen, and it's great that you've got it to work with the HTC clock, but is it possible to make it so that double-tap of the Menu key doesn't unlock it? I've found it usually leads to the phone becoming active in my pocket and it not doing this is one of the reasons I usually prefer the stock lockscreen. I can use a security pattern (I was already with Tegro 2.3) but if it's possible to make the stock lockscreen only unlock with the touchscreen that'd be great.

And just so it doesn't seem like I'm just moaning :p thanks a lot for a great rom, I've been using it since the beginning.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JFenlon:
I see it has the new market app included too, that's a nice surprise :) I thought it needed Android 2.2+
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberon:
Testing it at the moment, it feels faster! :)

Still no rosie people remap. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SKRPhoenix:
I'm seeing the normal market?

Anyway, I put the rom on, as I had a few spare minutes. I can always nandroid back this evening if I have any issues.

One thing I have noticed though, the icons on the left of the status bar (downloading, USB debugging etc.) all have a black square around them, which I'm sure I didn't see before. Except for the download complete icon....

Can anyone confirm this also? I think the icons are supposed to have a transparant background?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1320:
2.4 install

can i just flash this right over 2.3, or do you first need to wipe certain things.

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Yes this is very-very early version of Tegro Settings and there is no other options avail yet ). Will provide it soon

This is another option which i will implement in Tegro Settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Yes it is so for all. This is not a bug - this is feature :), i m serious! Original statusbar icon has linear black bg. So on themed statusbar is looks not good. I played around and tried few colors. As i found better look is to make icons bg semitransparent (about 50%). This so now. So icons at left corner (which are from framework) all has semitransparent bg. Answering qn about to make fully transparent bg - all icons are white color, so in opened status window them becomes invisible :(.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
yes u can, but dont forget to do a backup before to install 2.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wupper:
I've made a mirror for the rom for those who don't want to wait :).

Tegro 2.4

Tegro 2.4.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SKRPhoenix:
Ah, I see what you mean. That's fine, the only problem is, the Download Complete Icon doesn't have this 50% background? ;)

I don't mind if they all look the same and I see what you mean about in the status window, I always thought the icons were black in there and saw they were white on a grey background (which is fine now I understand why).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Download Complete icon is icon of Market app, so it will be change after next market update, even if i change it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Themes are updated for 2.4

Hi hawst, when i have a message or missed call, both trackball and top green led are flashing, is this a bug or feature?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow hawst, this is just amazing! you've solved the exchange doubling contacts issue? AND added all those features?

HOW? man has worked for centuries to solve the puzzle of the slide rom and finally, in December 2010, hawst has decoded the riddle, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and... well... everything!

This one deserves a nandroid of my froyo rom so I can flash it. I'm happy with my froyo rom, but I'm excited about what you're doing here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
feature, introduced in some prev version. 1st was changed from green led to trackball, then decided to use both ;). I think later it will be customizable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
+1

the menu unlock button thing is why I upgraded my wife's hero to froyo where that doesn't happen any more. If you can optionally disable any kind of unlocking aside from slide or pattern unlock then I can put this on my wife's phone if she wants it (and I think she might).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Wow, hello man! Glad to see u! Actually i m not 100% sure about exchange contacts doubling fix, but mostly it should. Can u please test it and post here result ? One more thing please ensure that you dont have double contacts in exchange 1st ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
certainly, I'll give this a try. I'm in a FIVE HOUR MEETING today at the office starting in half an hour, so don't count on my being online until tomorrow though. Downloading now so I can throw the zip on my phone ready for that first moment of freedom however!

Cheers :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Noted! Will do that in 2.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hawst:
Absolute sure. Give yrself a good rest 1st, then u can give it a try.
