Hi all, been using this rom for around 2 days, but have found the battery life to be disgusting.

How are others finding the battery life? I'm being mindful it might be something i have installed, but i have not installed anything new from trying this from Floyo.

Have also checked Spare Parts, but nothing really stands out. I've also installed watchdog and htc.bg comes up once in a while for CPU hogging, i just kill that and move on thinking thats the problem, but it generally only shows up once/twice after a restart.

Just wondering how others are finding the battery?

Just to give a feel of what i mean; 100% leaving home at 7:05pm, didnt do much with it, read an email or two, got back home @ 10:25pm and its down to 62%? (spare parts give me nothing surprising when i check out "partial wake usage").

P.s - sorry, i just thought i'd put in a comment that i really appreciate the work/effort into getting this to work, just wanted to see how others faired with battery life so it can be more pleasant for myself. I re-read the post and it sounded like i was angry and non-appreciative.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] charrancas:
I agree with the battery life being worse than villainrom 12 and as you i hope something will be done about it but for me so far is good enough and not coming back to any older rom.

I want to take the opportunity to thank every one that has made all this effort

Froyo_Sense_Extended_v1.4 mixed .zip

I flashed Froyo_Sense_Extended_v1.4 mixed .zip on my Hero this morning. Ran into some problems straight away:

It seems to use op even more space than the previous rom version. It is much more than froyo did. It also means I cannot install all the apps i used to and want to install: phone nearly choked and gets awfully slow and I got limited memory warnings after restoring my apps backup.

- Apps2Sd which was working for me in 1.3 is NOT working anymore.

- The trackball led started blinking for no reason and only stopped after fully rebooting.

Previous rom seemed to work better for me.. :S

Adhoc wifi hotspot still not working for me. For anyone else?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Same as you Minty, don't even get into the thing. Nandroided back
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
I've experienced all the same stuff with The Sense rom. Terrible battery life, data in weather widget always vanishes and I have to remove and reinstall it. The updates seem to make things worse. I have reverted to CM6.1 RC1 as at least most things work, although I do find lag issues and sense was definitely smoother.

Pity, I was enjoying Sense again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patrick.lenhart:
Hade the same problem, the battery went from 100% to 13% within 4-5 hours!

but found on sollution:

In the settings, WiFi i set to never turn off, which drains your battery pretty quick. I switched it to auto turn off after 15 minutes and the battery time improved drasticly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
i tried an app from the matket named wireless tethering, and worked for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petemt:
Perfect!!! Keep up the good work!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
please try last repack today and report bak.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Utking:
Im unable to install the 1.4 repack ky fix=/ it hangs at HERO boot screen, the older one worked flawlessly. =/

Anyways, thx for doing a great job!!!:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wasdhehao19:
so nice

nice hahahaha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petemt:
It freezes on the Hero boot screen indeed, previous version was great though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yamchung:
Same apply to me. It freezes on the Hero boot screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
I keep noticing some little problems with this rom, I hope some one can fix.

1) Battery live (still need to try out the wi-fi thing)

2) Limited ram space on the rom, Keeps going down even if all apps are closed with a task killer

3) Missing apps in the market e.g. Papaya

4) Internet browsing is not smooth and shuts down, time to time.

5) Some apps gets stuck on loading

Are any one working on fixes to these

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
SAME HERE!! :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zymzxn:
the last biuld ???i am downloading it now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oeljaml:
The sdcard is mounted as R/O, I can't delete files by ASTRO

Is there any solution ?????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
strange, did you wiped cache and dalvick-cache?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
another bug cant recieve mms
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
I got the same problem to, I did wipe cache and Dalvic-cache. (didn't do factory reset)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Utking:
I did cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset. still hangs at Hero screen, installing the older one worked tough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] boypower:
I am having a same problem :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flitz:
same problem -> hanging on boot screen :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
do this, wipe every thing, then flash the rom agin. if not restore the older build and wait for a fix because the only difference is the backlight fix and extra apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flitz:
also factory ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] perdita2000:
Is there anyone working on camera fix ?¿? I think that maybe bluetooth audio is related to CM sources because in CM I found some builds with this problem too, but camera is working fine.

Perdita2000

::: OO :::
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
sorry for the last bad repack.

here is the solution:

1st flash :

---My older repack

<<< Froyo Sense Extended v1.4 mixed >>>

or restore a nandroid back up if you have.

then flash:

Important Fix: backlight buttons fix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
i think erasmux is playing with the legend official rom so maybe he can fix it.

ah he said that bt audio is working on that rom.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Utking:
You said that bluetooth was fixed with the flykernel 12, is it working in this rom now? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
also as i have said you cant recieve picture messages too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
bluetouth transfer not audio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Larzje:
He,

I've noticed on the HTC website, that the HTC Hero on android 2.1 (with Sense) is supported by HTC Sync 3.0. My question is, would it be possible to use HTC Sync 3.0 with this 2.2 ROM. Having tried this, the answer is no. I've tried Sync 3.0 with a HTC Desire HD on the same computer (this worked perfectly), so I think it is save to say it's not due to the computer.

Keeping in mind that the HTC website stated that 2.1 was supported, you'd say it should be working with any 2.1 ROM, but this is not the case. My actual question remains, would it be possible to use it with a 2.2 ROM, especually this one (or is there some workaround or anything)?

Just tell me if I can do/help anything to figure this out =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
i fixed it! I installed the gratia rom from the other thread. booted up and set up my google account etc. then reboot, clear davlik/cache and flash 1.4a of this rom. booted up fine.

not sure what the problem is but seems the gratia rom doesnt have the problem that some of us are seeing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
anyone tried if the flash works with Full Tilt Poker mobile client?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] serhan58:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Flashed "Froyo Sense Extended v1.4 mixed",runs 3 hours!

Then boot into recovery wiped dalvik-cache and cache and flashed

backlight fix!

Now phone hangs at Hero Logo!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
I cant seem to find this in settings? Where abouts is it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
wireless settings, try to push the menu button and see what happens
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
What about lockscreen backround?

Can`t change it.

Ist it not included at this ROM or removed at HTC Sense Froyo?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
one question

when i sync my google contacts and my facebook contacts the facebook contact picture is showing by default

is there a way, like in 2.1 sense roms, to select my google contact picture to be shown instead of the facebook pic

tnx in advance

PS

i dont understand why so much people are reporting problems with instalation

i just flashed the 1.4 and the backlight fix annd no problems at all

1.dalvik cashe wipe

2.user data wipe

3. install rom

4. install backlight fix

5. reboot

and works like a charm all the time every time

had only one force close when i was trying to enter my apn and that was with the old build
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bosch23:
Sense is awesome but noticeably slower than other roms

Going from Floyo 1.1.9 or FroydVillain 1.6 you definitely notice the lag in this ROM.

Everything just takes that little longer. Linpack scores of between 2 and 3 is just not good enough. Tried to overclock further but for some reason in my setcpu just goes to 528.

Some of the Sense applications are awesome though! Exchange mail client works much better than stock android app, all contacts sync with images and birthdays to your calender flawlessly where you would have to go and find alternatives in the market that does only half the job. Oh and everything is so pretty!

Question to devs out there: Is is at all possible to rip out the applications that we like from the Sense package? If that is the case - I would pay up for a kitchen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ykxhda:
For the latest 11/24 version, I did a full whip, but the screen hanged in the first 'hero' screen. Tried few times but still in vain.

However, no problem for the 11/23 version, though the contacts seems unable to sync with the info from facebook...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Golomidov:
Flashed 11/24 version (with button backlight fix) and now screen backlight changes everytime I wake the phone, looks awful... Is it ok?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Does the same for me, after unlock its fine though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Has anyone had the problem that if you play a song, and set it to singlesong repeat, that in the end it plays nothingness till the end?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxy:
Thanks, worked when you pressed Menu in Wireless Settings -> Wifi.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oeljaml:
Anyone have problem with sdcard, it seems to be mounted as R/O, I can't delete files with ASTRO & some apps which use sdcard is not working ??????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orgia82:
I found another little bug.

If I try to add a city in HTC wheather app crashes.

I have to say that this ROM is faster than all other I test. AWESOME!

Thanks for all!

Sure you will found how to solve all.

Best regards!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adicken:
My take on the rom so far.

I've flashed a couple of versions of this rom. It's good to see that people and devs are willing to contribute to this and keep the Hero alive.

flashed V1.4 no problems and the backlight fix. Restored all my stuff, no problems. The rom seems very responsive and slick. I've been running it for a few hours now and no signigficant battery drain. No problems with calls or caller id bugs. Mail doesn't display in the widget but that might be just me. Wifi is fione and extremely quick.

Overall I'm happy. A working camera and I would be over the moon.

I realise that there are some bugs to iron out but I'm impressed with what we have so far. I also just wanted to thank the dev's and contibutors to this rom as without them, we would still be stuck in the past!

Keep up the good work :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
flashed the last update and the gprs did not connect...had to do the apn settings manually... previous versions had never to go to the apn settings.

Why is that? I'm with Megafon (Russia)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Golomidov:
Same country, same opsos :) works more than good. 3,75g rules :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
you are right, the floyo and villain are a bit faster, opening applications, a bit snappier, BUT, all of them fail in one thing, and for me the most important thing, a none existng good dialer

tried dialer one and ray dialer, and they are not even close to the htc dialer so i prefer this rom to the others

No
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
Did it work without adding the apn manually???

I was surprised, cause the previous version worked fine as well! :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zoro33:
It's not possible to separate this apps from Sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oeljaml:
Also in Extended v1.4 mixed, the sdcard is mounted as READ ONLY, I can't delete or store any file from the phone. It works perfect on my pc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Azure465:
Is there any way to put apps on the SD card which are not possible to move in the "manage programs" menu?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
Hmm it still doesn't work for me. Could it be something with radio versions or even the type of Hero we have? e.g. mine has the wake-up issues below 352 MHZ.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flitz:
Problem : Wireless tethering will not work. :(

Triend several programs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
great ROM, thx for the work...

however, i notice that starting from V1.3, it's getting laggy... default clock speed, all animations enabled... hope this gets improved...

also may i suggest removing Adobe Reader in the future releases?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dalet11:
download Wireless tether 2.0.5 beta.. working graet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flitz:
yip tnx. It worked
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grindboy:
I was wondering about the radio being the issue as well. Is there an easy way of finding out which radio we're running? I can't for the life of me remember which one I've got installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
Go into settings > About Phone > Software Information then check the Baseband version. Mine is 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Baddudevsninja:
After wiping phone and flashing the Rom turn the phone off completely from the recovery menu dont select reboot phone (I removed battery after switching off to make sure), then switch the phone back on normally. This worked both times for me, maybe it was a coincidence im not sure but give it a go, im interested to see if it works for others.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oeljaml:
Adhoc Wifi Networks doesn't work with me

anyone else ????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elmo13th:
I was away for two days, so didn't check back. I am going to try the 1.4a ROM now and will report back on that. 1.4 mixed was too laggy for me. If 1.4a isn't any better I might move back to 1.3, as this phone is my primary phone (too laggy or too many bugs don't come in handy). I'll try and report any results soon.

Are ppl here having more luck with one ROM than the other?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wwfc:
Very nice ROM, one thing I am missing though is switchpro widget; I guess its a sense compatibility issue :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Schiehallion:
Can't fire this up & on that SU radio
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooperkid:
Does anybody know if the contacts issue has been fixed?

Ie names not appearing in messages/phonecalls etc?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I think this is one of the most important things, i mean let's not forget, this is a phone before anything else, so we need to know who's callin lol.

And the SMS thing, it's terrible, it would be great if that could be fixed as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooperkid:
It's a.....phone?:)

Ha ha ha ha it does so much you may forgot why you originally bought it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fur1ously:
I've gotta agree this is really annoying...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Golomidov:
Guys!

Going to "unflash" this "New flashable backlight buttons fix"

Its really, really annoying speedy changing of screen backlight! It is better not to have button backlight than this.

Is changing system/framework/framework-res.apk to file from "Froyo Sense Extended v1.4 mixed" enough?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
issit juz me or lockscreen cannot be changed???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oeljaml:
There is another bug which is the mobile network is always sending & receiving data , is anyone else have this problem :????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
you don't change lockscreen on Froyo ROMs. It's the same as home screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
From what I have seen on my device in the UK, it depends how your contact is set up.

eg, most of my contacts are saved as: 07791234567

however when a message is recieved it shows: +447791234567

so the easiest way to fix it is to change or add the number to your existing contact.

IIRC this happened on a ROM along time ago, dont remember the name, but it was fixed eventually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
well, but for me in Singapore, i save my contacts as +6591234567...

when SMS comes, it's still +6591234567, but when a call comes, it's only 91234567...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
Hi.

Due to market issue with Froyd 1.6 (same as 1.5), I thought I could give Froyo Sense a try, waiting for the next floyo.

Anyway, first setup is really lovely! It finds my mobile operator! Whereas I usually have to config a new apn. So good point.

Second, market is working!

It is a good start lol

So I'm going to test it more!

Keep up the good job;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] astria:
darn... i ve always been using different lockscreen and home screen i the past... thx for the heads up...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
you could add the : 91234567

to your contact, and then it would show up correctly.

not ideal, but a workaround.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooperkid:
Yup I tried this too and when they call me I get 0851234.....and then I don't know who is calling

Smart dialling in the phonebook works regardless of pressing +35385 or 085 tho which is kinda strange
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emay:
I probably have missed it, but today I found that I don't have any sound with my Bluetooth Parrot carkit. Pairing and connecting worked fine, but that was all. Any chance for a solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frijjy:
The BT audio is still not working emay, I am awaiting for this to be fixed and then I will swap to this rom :) if the camera gets fixed at the same time then great :)

has anyone tried third party cam software and does it work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emay:
Like I said, I probably missed this information. Thx!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wichle:
1+

anyone tried a third party camera app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
Tried Camera 360, didn't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petemt:
I got 1.4a installed (computerfreak's release)

How come apps2sd still doesn't work? (button stays grey)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Grindboy:
Ok gang lets see if the radio is the problem. Post your baseband and whether you can successfully flash this rom or not.

My baseband is:

65.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

I get stuck with force close on settings before being able to set up the phone.

Feels like an faa meeting. I'm grindboy and I'm a rom-flash-aholic :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dsouza42:
My baseband is 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03

The ROM flashes nicely. Everything that's supposed to work is fine except for the clock. It's daylight savings in my region. The automatic clock sets the clock to the correct time and something else keeps fighting it by setting the clock back to non DST. So the clock keeps changing back and forth.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
suddenly can't syncronise with the sync 2.18 version. Previously had no problem. The software does not give me the option to sync, despite the fact the it sees the phone.

The version 3 works, but don't know why, it creates many duplicates in the contacts :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] add119:
hey can you port this to sprint hero cdma version too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
My baseband is 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03

If I install just this rom, I get a fc on start up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
you CANT be that lazy, i mean, it took you longer to write this post than it takes to install a new radio

anyway i dont think it is a radio prolem

if i were you i would install a different rom, lets say villain 1.6, fomat my sd cad and than try to install this rom

i have a slight problem with the weather widget, i update it, and it sas as my current location "ogrug" which is my willage, and after a while i take a look and it says "croatia" and then "okrug" again and it goes on and on, without moving the phone an inch, strange
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chungtau:
First hero I am using, how can I use this ROM? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
you use it via touchscreen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] merlin699:
LOL!! :D epic answer!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elmo13th:
1.4a bugs

Ok, I'm gonna give 1.4 mixed another try. 1.4a isn't very successful for me.

So, my bugs in 1.4a:

Apps won't download from Market

UI is laggy, unresponsive at times

Cannot test accelerometer as I cant install apps..

Bluetooth audio not working (outgoing, incoming calls seem

work)

WiFi is currently not working (think it does after full reboot). Is says "Error" in the settings.

Adhoc wifi network/wifi hotspot not working, not via settings nor via Wireless Tether app.

Storage on phone is low really quickly

Search button does not work in home screen

Locations in weather app/widget say "(null)Amsterdam"": cannot set other locations than current location.

Hope development on this ROM is continuing. I think the focus should be on the OS first - widgets or apps can wait.

Priorities

Fully functional market (ability to download ALL apps)

Speed and storage space

Camera

Wifi Hotspot

Search button

Bluetooth Audio

Hope you keep some updates coming, thanks a lot guys!:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
ok, got the weather widget problem sorted out

just switched under preferred network mode from auto to GSM only

and now it works like a charm

and yes, the 1.4 is much smoother then the 1.4a, it is very laggy

sorry to say but no joy with my hero and the 1.4a

ima going back to the 1.4 and try to solve the problem with the in call crashes

with the revision 14a i (2.6) and with the 1.4 (3.1)

(linpack score)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:

Sorry for the dumb question, apparently haven't check the first post for days (was sure I did), so didn't notice the added backlight fix :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:
I tried to install this rom but i always get stuck at the bootscreen....

any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
@erasmus

those :confused::confused::confused::confused: were for kaiowas82

cartman, try an install a villain rom, format SD card and then this rom
