i don't know about anyone els but the one and only problem i have with hero is incoming call response time, zenulator and others have worked hard on speed. and right now i'm using the latest vogue hero.sqfs bundle. and it is pretty fast. i just need to be able to receive calls a little faster instead of one ring before vm.
i'm asking anyone that codes or knows how to code to look into what can be done to improve this.
i know that having phone not vibrate on calls, using ogg ringtones help a little, the renicer script aswell. but is there anything else we can do?

Speaking of that, whats this all about on the Vogue-Hero google page? I've downloaded it to keep a copy on hand but what improvements will we see with that file?
i was using the latest hero build with the basefiles from 9/08 and everything was pretty smooth. then i updated this morning to basefiles from 9/15 and everything is slower. takes longer to switch pages and respond to anything i do.

The HTC RIL is closed source. Its not a question of porting.
Here is my problem. I keep trying the latest donuts and sqsh based systems and even with fresh data files, I always get the dreaded Blank home screen with no icons. It takes around a minute to repaint them. The version I keep going back to is the cupcake-based hero themed system. It is distinguished by only having one arrow on the left side of the app drawer handle. It works great and hardly ever does the slow down thing. I just hope that when we get BT all sorted out that either the image will work with this system or the sqsh based systems are up to the same level of performance that this one is.
Cheers.

I don't have any of these problems with my builds so you might be missing a step or using the wrong files. Granted the xrom and cyanogen builds at vogue-hero are experimental/beta quality and hence why they stay there and don't go to the main vogue-android page. The latest xrom is using cupcake/donut built from the android master branch and is as fast as any build out there with the right setup and you can't use it with an existing data.img because it has a different code base. And sqsh has nothing to do with the level of performance of any build infact it should be faster than cramfs. It's the code that the system image is based off of and what extra apps and libraries and frameworks are included that determines how fast it's going to be.
Zen since you seem to be up and responding I have a quick question that I am not looking for too in depth of a response, just a brief overview...
What exactly is the user.conf responsible for? If I am running just the basic ION version is there any reason to keep the rogers or hero based files? Are they ever called upon when running the regular ION build?
Thank you!

you don't need them if your running ion. the user.conf files are just for people to tweak their own settings for each build. so you have the ability to turn compcache/swap on/off things like that. ion doesn't really need it but it does help it out it you run a lot of programs and widgets.
I've got a vogue and a diamond on sprint that I switch back and fourth between pretty often.
I thought maybe I could get a vzw htc vogue off of ebay, and get it working on my sprint plan, and put android on it.
If I did that, would GPS be crippled on it in android?
The main reason I wanted to do it was I like the white case and the vzw screens are all nice, I have a sprint vogue with a bad screen.
I'm excited that Zen said he was repackaging the nkhero release as it is essentially the latest-stable Ion build. The experimental builds are nice and essential to advancing development but alot of users are looking for everyday stable usage (and the added Hero theme is always sweet eye-candy)!

i recommend everyone try out the opera mini beta 5 with android. Make sure you have Java installed on your build. I use the latest hero-vogue build. go to m.opera.com/next on your android browser and click download to pc. download the jar. it will run with java and is awesome. it runs smoother and has more eye candy than any browser i ever tried. and i really like the keyboard that comes with it!

OK, this is the first non-mssmison build I've tried in a while. I'm trying xrom 1.5. New data, and fresh files all around. Seems to be pretty good, but still the browser chokes a bit more than the non-sqsh build. Is there a way to limit app processes anymore? I looked for dev tools but it is not included.
hey zen, is it normal for me to be getting these fsck000.REC fsk0001.REC ect..
files on my storage card? if not, do you know what they are? the number just keeps goin up after every reboot and just keeps adding files.
Also, has anyone got a driver to work with Vista?

Squashfs has nothing to do with the browser. If your compairing the1.5 xrom to the 1.4 then the differences are due to different browser builds aand the fact that the 1.5 build has some donut parts that 1.4 didn't have.

You can delete them.
Probably something to do with the basefiles, but I haven't tracked the cause yet.
They're the result of the automatic filesystem check on the sdcard fat partition on boot.

Is it possible to put rosie on a rom that isn't hero (like one of jf's roms).
I was thinking the same thing. What I did was updated to the hero rom and then backed up rosie.apk. Then went to the ion rom and tried to install rosie.apk through astro and it said that the apk cannot be installed on this phone. Could be some version check or something but I didnt bother to try any further.
There would be alot of HTC framework you would need to implement to a point where it would be pretty much hero to get it to work from my understanding.
From what I've read, Rosie (and few other HTC apps require a modified android core, so to get Rosie on a JF release, you'd use a rom that contained a majorty of the Hero code.
By the time you're done getting all the files for Rosie and it's associated widgets to run on a Google core you'd be running Hero. What's the point? Are we done asking this question now?

No. There will be at least 6 more threads about this very topic.
Hi,
I actually tried on 5.02h.
It says that it cannot be installed.
So yes the answer is no.

have you tried it on Rogers? i ask b/c u list it in your sig.
since that is HTC based (to my understanding at least)...this might be a possibility.
still though...i don't see much point
Technically, yes it can, since in reality, all rosie is is rosie on a non-hero rom (it's still very much android at the core). If you're talking about a simple file swap, it is possible, but by the time you're done swapping files, you'll have the htc modified framework again. However, rosie is still also very much the same Launcher apk from google, it's got a few tweaks here an there, and i think that with some heavy modification of the source it can be made to work similarly on a stock android framework. That's just for the desktop elements. The widgets are a different story, if you want binary compatibility with the rosie widgets, then, again, you have to import the HTC library, or reverse engineer it and implement your own.
It is possible, after all, Android is in many ways a community OS, so you can modify it as you please, but a simple patch up work and file swap? then no, it's not that easy.
::sigh:: quit asking these questions, think of it this way:
Have you tried running a .NET app, without having the .NET framework installed.
It's gonna say missing framework.
Hero is basically Android + a bunch of HTC written frameworks. And that framework is written under the assumption that there is 512MB ROM/256 RAM. (on their unreleased phone)
Hence the slowdowns on our lovely G1 with only 256MB ROM and 192RAM
Other Thoughts:
T-Mobile always does this crap though, give us the crappiest hardware (bare minimum, so they save money.)
Remember the MDA and then the WING, whilst at the same time AT&T's Pocket PC specs were far superior.

I've given it some preliminary tries from an informational standpoint but that means going back to a plain Jane Rogers build. The really ****ty thing about the Hero build with Rosie is that Rosie and it's associated widgets are all interlaced with each other. You pull a few and that whole house of cards comes crashing down. The Hero Music widget for example requires the htc.framework. Before htc.framework and associated libraries releases permissions to the Music widget it references a series of DRM library files. I stopped after that but I can almost guarantee that the DRM libraries have some other off the wall dependencies only found on that specific build. HTC did this for a reason and it's obvious that they consider their Home replacement and widgets as a single package. Even if you managed to retain the HTC framework and replace all the dependencies it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if some of these outer lying files made references to specific bit of code only found in the HTC core. HTC has done it before and it's name is TouchFlo3D.
Unless someone really wants to break down Rosie line by line it really ought be considered an all or nothing venture here at XDA. We really need to drop the mentality that HTC builds are drag and drop like theming was pre-cramfs. And even then, cramfs are just identifiers anyway. HTC is a tricky bastard. Always has been, always will be. In my honest opinion, if you want Rosie on a non Rosie build you best brush up on your mimicry skills.
Maybe it's just me...but aside from the HTC widgets, what exactly do you all love about the rosie UI so much? the little wheel that you can scroll between your desktops? How many people use that much desktop space? in all honesty, it's not *THAT* much more functional. For me the important portions of the Hero build are more behind the scenes..solid twitter app, lockscreen tied to music, notifications, and calendar events..the nice black notifications window...most importantly, without losing performance. /shrug - my version of the hero build is screenshotted here..works for me, even though I don't have the 'rosie' UI i get all of the important things that matter to me.
What build is that? Or is it custom?

Question: Does the lockscreen actually have the slide unlock? If so, you may have just sold me on your Hero mod. That's the ONE thing that I'm still utterly and completely in love with, and there are a LOT of bugs in the current Hero build, though w/o widgets it does run at least tolerably. I'm still hating the lack of landscape mode and led notifications.

Yep - lockscreen works fine and also includes the music/notification functionality...attached a screenshot of that just now.
no LED notifications still - which is a pain in the ass I agree. The build I'm using is running Launcher.apk - not Rosie - and does autorotate.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought running the Launcher.apk might remove the awesome lock screen. I'm a bit more happy about running this build, if only we could get some working notifications!

cant get data sync to open. do i need dzos data.img to get to sync contacts and email?
yes, for all google apps to work you need to have already setup your google account in DZO's 1.1 build.
finally got dzo's build working and now using that data.img. quick question, does the camera work cause it didnt come on for me. not a big deal just wanted to know what all worked. nice and smooth build.

no, I didn't bring that over yet. I honestly never use the camera on my phone.
Why does my HaRET lock up at 100%? 1.1 booted just fine for me. When I try to load this build it locks up and has to be soft reset after that.
I am running NFSFAN's 6.5v10 WinMo ROM.
EDIT: Fixed, I had to re-extract and recopy the files over. Something must have corrupted randomly some where for me.
I am also using NFSFAN's 6.5 v10 ROM, and after running this Android build once, my WM ROM got royally corrupted... I'm going to hard reset and pray for the best... :\
I'm not trying to be a troll, here. But if anyone could help identify what went wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I extracted all the files (except for data.img) and fired up Android. Waited a few minutes (like the thread said I would have to) and then I waited a minute or two before turning off the phone (through Android). Restarted the phone, and my Titanium home screem doesn't work, and neither does the Start Menu. And right when it starts I get "Cannot Start Voice Command. Reinstall and try again."
my wife had the same problems on her white vogue, I don't really know what it is... Pretty much means android is out of the question for you until we figure it out.
Thanks for this. I am finding it really hard to read the screen though. I did allign it. Is there a cleartype thing for android? non cupcake build looks real nice, but cupcake seems to have issues with readability.
Again, thanks for this, can't wait to see the final results.
After a Hard Reset, everything worked fine. I didn't really lose anything, since I installed V10 this morning.
I like the performance on the ROM. Feels lighter and faster. The only thing I don't like much is the GUI customization, more specifically the inability to switch back to the default theme. The loading intro screen is DEAD SEXY, though.
The lack of camera kind of sucks, but we all know how hit-and-miss camera has been on Vogue Android development, so it's understandable.
strange, im running nfsfans v10 rom and ran this as well and wm wasnt affected whatsoever.

Sprint Hero system files
This could be used as thee thread for the tweaking of the Hero from Sprint. I made a request and it was accomplished by "Chocmatic" at PPCGeeks. Thanks to him we have this now for our tweaking, modding, theme making creativity.
To those Mods, let me know if you need anything I'll be glad to assist creating themes/icons for our phones..
You can also add the apk files (applications) into your current rom.. just follow instructions below.. now we got Footprint, Sprint TV, Sprint Nav, Sprint Visual VM, etc..
To install APK applications on your Android Phone do the following:
1. Copy the APK file you want to install to your phones memory card and insert the card into your Android phone.
2. Go to Android Market and search for the Apps Installer application.
3. Open it and click on the Install Button.
4. After it is installed, just open it. It will show you all the APK files stored directly in the root directory of your memory card.
5. Just click on the application you want to install and it will be installed.

I might as well ask this hear as I'm highly considering getting a Hero, but does anyone think that with the current state of the Vogue-Hero project that still getting a Sprint Hero is worth it?

If anyone with GSM is working on it, let me know. I've about given up porting it for the time being. Audio is distorted probably because there are constant (as fast as logcat can update) errors about CDMA/GSM issues. I can't make a phone call because it's too choppy-- robot speak. I've got ATT but I hear CDMA users can use it pretty well. That's making it hard for me to try to commit time to taking it further but help might get things going again

Its working fast, smooth and no force close errors.. was unable to use root folder AndroidApps to install anything, just kept looping in animated wakeup. Zen stated earlier to me that he'd take alook into it as soon as he returned. Loving it right now though once I get my Win XP up or get VMware Fusion I will get into the theme side of it and begin making Hero more eye candy
I got the sprint hero, but my wife is still on the vogue for now, so I have feet in both camps at the moment. I grabbed the sprint navigation apk and installed wit with no problems, launched fine, but it cannot pick up a gps lock. I tested that gps could be accessed by google maps, and the gps icon is rutned on upon launching nav, but it won't pick up anything. I'm running a non-hero-based build from zen, the xrom I believe, its been a while. Any suggestions? Should I go to a hero-based build? I really dont like the scewed aspect ration required by those builds, but I think having nav might be worth it. Thoughts?

I got the sprint hero, but my wife is still on the vogue for now, so I have feet in both camps at the moment. I grabbed the sprint navigation apk and installed wit with no problems, launched fine, but it cannot pick up a gps lock. I tested that gps could be accessed by google maps, and the gps icon is rutned on upon launching nav, but it won't pick up anything. I'm running a non-hero-based build from zen, the xrom I believe, its been a while. Any suggestions? Should I go to a hero-based build?

im probably wrong but maybe sprint wrote the nav app to just work with hero so no one could put on other builds. i dunno
It's /framework/libgps.so among others. I didn't put that over along with the camera and audio because it would crash relentlessly. It's early, pretty and full of features so I'd like/need help especially GSM support since I can't use it right now
ok this is a real noob question...what do I do with the clock files to change the look of my clock?
Hi everyone. I am currently running plemen’s Eclair themed Donut AOSP build (Updated 12/22). As far as I know everything works (except perhaps for Bluetooth – haven’t tried yet) including the GPS (which is critical for me). I am *very* impressed with this firmware and how "native" it feels on the Vogue. Almost like it was meant for it except for the unusual key bindings but that’s another story and not specific to plemen’s build. (Click here for details on how I wish the keys could be setup).
However I am wondering just how much of this is “donut” and now much of it is “eclair theme” and how much of it is popular 3rd party apps? I know everyone wants something different from these chefs and I apologize for even asking. Overall I am very impressed with plemen’s build.
It is also possible that I am mistaken in thinking there is a “pure base” of sorts as there is with Windows Mobile. I realize that in Android all apps are just as “native” as the next. But is there any way I can remove the eclair theme? Or would I even want to do so?
How could I achieve a “pure” Donut build with just the Google apps (Gmail, Maps, Gtalk, etc) built in? Is doing some even desirable? Or would I immediately want to go back to what I have?
Best regards,
The Fish

you can try that build.
I also have a 32mb system.sqsh thats a stripped down donut build.

Thanks zenulator, that's great! I will try it later this weekend. How could I maybe get the 32mb version?
What are the "eclair dialer buttons"? The buttons on my build are square in the dialer but are "round" (for lack of a better word) when I pull the keypad up during a call (to enter my VM password for example). I don't like the inconsistency but I live with it cause beggars can't be choosers
Also, the little arrow "thing-a-ma-jig" on the bottom of the screen that pulls up the applications... I like the one in your build better (see "home.jpg") then what I think is probably the "eclair" look (see "home2.jpg"). Also, in my current build it reverts to this when in a call and I am a diehard for consistency
I noticed in your screen shots the little microphone isn't present in then Google search widget. Does that mean that the voice recognition/search feature is not present in your build? Or is this something I just need to turn on?
Thanks again,
The Fish
you can install voice search yourself.
what about the German language
very very nice ROM
humm.. I think you'll have no choice of using Elelinux rom to have multi-language support like I had to do for French due to it's rom based Decked_X who is just available in English..
I have been using this ROM for a little while now and find it to be both fast and stable. A really great job by the developer 1ceb0x, for which I would like to express my thanks.
One small issue I have yet to sort out and that is one of awful keyboard lag. I use Handcent SMS for messaging and am wondering if anyone else is using this app and suffering the same problem? I haven't worked out if it is just this app, or a combination of this app and the installed keyboard yet, but if anyone else has had a similar experience that they have managed to resolve, or can suggest tweaks to try I would be grateful to hear. I really would like to stick with Handcent, if possible.
For anyone who has not tried this ROM, I would recommend they do; it really is a great everyday ROM.

As far as I know, the keyboard lag should be gone in the latest version which is 3.5. However, it was only tested using stock keyboard and stock mms app. If you are having low ram, this could be your problem (or an app is keeping your cpu at 100%) - though the first issue should not occur because the kernel is tweaked to kill apps when mem. is lower than 60 - so basically you will always have 40-50 mb free every time.
Thank you guys for your support and for using my rom, it is really a great pleasure to see how many users have it as a daily driver. Thanks again!

I was just about to install this ROM, but I don't need German
I am writing mainly in response to a post by buba_shrimp in the development forum (I do not have sufficient privileges to post there), but also for my own benefit, as I am seeking assistance for the same issue.
In the early days of having my Hero (stock rom) I found GPS to work flawlessly, up until passing the installation of any google maps release past 5.5.0, when bad things started to happen. I have stayed at this release ever since.
Just prior becoming Shpongled, GPS became a nightmare; tried all sorts of stuff, but nothing seemed to help. I came to the conclusion that the hardware was failing and left it as that. That was until the day that I maintained the gps config file from US to UK/European server settings and lo and behold not only did the phone lock my position lightning fast, but all the other problems vanished too.
On moving to this rom, the first thing I did was implementing my replacement gps.conf and continued to get excellent gps performance – most of the time.
The phone now seems to operate in one of two modes; it either gets a good lock in seconds and performs flawlessly, or the gps connection circle spins for and age followed usually by the phone rebooting itself (I think just as it seems to locate its position, though I’m not quite sure just).
I have posted earlier that I am getting bad keyboard lag too, but now realise that this is a hit and miss affair also, as I only get this some of the time.
Anyone have any idea as to how I can debug the phone when it is experiencing these issues, e.g. any free logging tools or other such monitoring software that may help? Or, suggestions as to things I might try? Was glad to see buba_shrimp was suffering a similar problem – not in a gloating way, in a problem-shared-is-a-problem-halved kinda way.
Regards

Get ADB, plug your phone into USB, enable USB Debugging on your phone, type adb logcat into your PC's command line and you have debug

I know how to do this, I just don't have the experience to know what I should be looking for.
Ideally I was really hoping for, I guess, is that someone else has suffered these same issues and has a solution.
My question about usefull tools was along the lines of some sort of app that records resource usage over time, to allow for analysis of conflicts, or similar. Anything like this exist? Or is there a better way? The adb logcat is a little too low-level for me I think, unless someone can help me with pointers as to what I should be looking for.
Thanks folks.
Very nice rom, very fast, but .. (sorry for lang)
every app or game in my Hero lags in fews minutes with error " [Application] is not responsive " .. only thing what i can do is tap " Force close " button .. so each game is not playable (gameboid mainly), or i cant read comics, or whatever else ^^ any solutions?
thanks for help guys
Nice and fast ROM
Thanks
it is a great expense to import the German language in the ROM?
I would like to have it in German.
I'm not a developer, I'm just a user

It would need to be build from source to get german language in it. So yes, it is a great expense since it needs:
a powerful computer
time
space
i'm so sorry for not being able to provide you guys this rom in other languages. i know i have lost some of you because of this issue but i cannot do anything for it. i can build it from source in a way or the other but it will loose the great speed of decked_x base rom.
thank you for using it thought.
Very nice from, I have the stop responding error too but works clicking wait lets me continue without losing anything.

Do Shpongle ROM need swap partition on SD card??
Just a little question: what kind of partition do Shpongle ver 3.7 need on SD card??
I mean: is it necessary to have a little swap partition (60-120MB) ?
PS: version 3.7 is really strong, but I'm waiting for a next and better release
Dont use swap partitions...

In the last release of Elelinux it is required a swap partition greater than 60 MB and an additional Ext4 partition (maybe for app2SD..??).
I know that Shpongle ROM is not Elelinux (there are differences, I suppose), but.. is there any reason for not to installing swap partition or it's just your personal experience??
Thanks..
It's just slower on every rom, based on user and dev opinions...
How can cyanogenmod and cronos have multilanguage support but not Shpongle?
Have they written the rom in every single language?
