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.

It's the hero build from haykuro..with a lot of work done to it to make it perform the way that I'm after. I'm out of town next week but I'm hoping to get a list of all of the changes that I've made compiled and make it usable if anyone wants it.

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!

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.

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.

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? Certain hardware features like the capacitative screen, acceleromter, and larger higher resolution screen seem to be the selling point for me.

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

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 hope tethering is included. Phone to Xoom to PC. ;-)
for those of you interested in wifi only and europe versions, I need a system dump and the boot.img. i'm still trying to get this thing to boot. almost got it. xoom hc 3.1 is fully deodexed. It looks like a data and cache wipe will be required. So make sure you have the latest recovery from solarnz and do a good titanium backup. It looks like the initial release will be minimal. the idea is just to get everybody deodexed. but i've got some epic stuff in mind. Oh, somebody mentioned timeframes. Well, my wife said she's been feeling neglected and I love the androidz more than here. So i have to give her some attention for a while. But i bet if you go by #xoom on freenode, you'll have the most up to date info
also, this thread probably wont be the release thread. Get me those dumps. Also, start posting what type of features you are interested in. the more ideas the better.
also, be sure to stop by the Transformer board and give a big thanks to Roach for giving me the spark to get this thing going. The xoom community and the Tiamat Xoom Development Team are in his debt. Epic pwnage Roach!

Well I'll tell you of one idea, though I highly doubt that it will be possible. But the ONE feature or mod I'd love to see above *ALL* others for the Xoom is the ability to adjust contrast & saturation on the screen. Again I know this isn't necessarily a typical ROM feature in the classic sense, but regardless if there is any way this can be done I'd be more interested in this than in any other single feature or improvement.
Only suggestions i have for a rom are improve the lag with the launcher, that is really the only thing that annoys me with my xoom. Also desktop as the default for the browser.
Can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Thanks

Built in OC options.
Custom Widgets.
I'll edit and add more later.
how about a way to lock out screen inputs so we can watch video or use GPS without worrying about bumping the screen. That would be useful for folks with kids who watch cartoons, etc.
Midway through typing this, I thought of a better option.
Map hardware keys (i.e hit both volume buttons at once) to drop down the bottom notification bar windows style, so that it isnt there when we're watching movies or playing games. Then you hit both volume keys again to bring it back up.
My original idea was to have some way of hiding it when you bring up certain apps (emulators, moboplayer), but still have it retain it's functionality. Like you dont SEE the back button, you can press where it is and it will still work.

THIS FEATURE IS WHAT DRIVES ME NUTS
I think I might donate if we can get rid of that notification bar while playing games/movies. My only real problem I have with my xoom.

for those of you interested in wifi only and europe versions, I need a system dump and the boot.img. i'm still trying to get this thing to boot. almost got it. xoom hc 3.1 is fully deodexed. It looks like a data and cache wipe will be required. So make sure you have the latest recovery from solarnz and do a good titanium backup. It looks like the initial release will be minimal. the idea is just to get everybody deodexed. but i've got some epic stuff in mind. Oh, somebody mentioned timeframes. Well, my wife said she's been feeling neglected and I love the androidz more than here. So i have to give her some attention for a while. But i bet if you go by #xoom on freenode, you'll have the most up to date info
also, this thread probably wont be the release thread. Get me those dumps. Also, start posting what type of features you are interested in. the more ideas the better.
also, be sure to stop by the Transformer board and give a big thanks to Roach for giving me the spark to get this thing going. The xoom community and the Tiamat Xoom Development Team are in his debt. Epic pwnage Roach!

Also maybe there is an app? But adjusting hdmi out resolution. And custom light levels like Cm7.
Also its annoying that I can't turn off xoom screen and still output hdmi.
So glad to hear a Rom is coming!

5. Integrated BRD donation widget. ;

Updates (4/26/12)
So there is an updated Cyanogen Mod 7.2 for the Eris released. See this post for more details
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605308 Thanks to XDA member "bigrat" for pointing it out.
I tweaked this new version and removed all the extra stuff again. See the list below from the previous version. I got a few of the features I wanted added to this version.
Changes:
3d Gallery is out 2d Gallery is in.
Hosts file updated should block most adds.
DNS settings changed. Still uses a public provider (Comodo Secure DNS) The Google ones are still in there for backup so you should resolve no matter what.
Removed the XtrSense boot animation. Replaced it with a Black screen. I think it boots faster now.
LCD Density is back to 160. 150 breaks the Market sometimes and it's hardly noticeable.
Here are some source links (Thanks Doogald!)
Cyanogen RC link http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=RC&device=desirec
from xtrSENSE, the GScript source is http://code.google.com/p/gscript-and...ource/checkout

Misc
Also I decided to make an archive for all the Eris stuff I have collected. If you want me to host your stuff send me a PM and I'll put it up. If I have your stuff and you want it removed PM me and I'll gladly take it down.
Have a look here

Future Features:
I would like to add .zip files that can be downloaded and flashed to the eris that contain the packages I have removed. I had a request for the calender and calculator. I need to see how legal it would be to just include these as an extra flashable .zip
Also I recommend the FullThrottle Data fix flash this before Google apps

And Most of all thanks for the feedback, encouragement, and assistance! I really appreciate it.
*older Info*
Ok Eris users. I am new to making android rom's and don't claim to be an expert. This is my first attempt at cooking a rom and I like it so I thought I would share it. This is a learning experience for me.
So it's based off of the Cyanogen Mod 7.1 found here in the Eris forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297719
Thanks to Cyanogen It's mostly his stuff I just cleaned it out a bit.
I also merged some stuff from XtrSense 5.01
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726467
Thanks zach.xtr
I designed it to be functional not "pretty" It's also light I tried to take out all the extra stuff I could.
So here is what I have done.
Start off with the Cyanogen base and then remove the following
Androidian theme
Cyanobread theme
Cyanogen Wallpaper pack
Rom Manager
Email app (get Gmail off the market)
quick search box
browser (Go get a real browser non webkit off the market)
music (Get something else off the market)
Theme Manager
Calender (I never use it even though I should)
DeskClock
Magic Smoke Wallpaper
Calculator (Find something better on the market)
protips
sound recorder
dsp manager
Cyanogen updater notifications
Theme Chooser
Cyanogen Stats
Live Wallpaper picker
tts service
spare parts
application provider
Pico Tts
Html Viewer
Cyanogen Screenshot tool
That's 15mb of removed stuff.
Then I pulled the following from the xtrSense rom
The gscript tool
and the Boot animation (it's 600k vs the 1.6mb for the cyanogen animation)
Also changed the LCD Density from 160 to 150 to zoom out a bit on the display. More screen area (like increasing the resolution)
Things I am working on. Future additions
I am trying to remove the 3d gallery as it is so slow on the Eris I will be replacing it with the 2d gallery when I can get it and the camera both working right.
Updating the Hosts file to block all those annoying adds. I have this ready but forgot to include it in this build. It'll make it into the next. Some people may prefer this build without it.
Someday I will include BotBrew and ship SSH support and Rsync
Modify the DNS settings. Right now The OS is using google's public DNS to resolve stuff. I'll add in an East coast USA DNS to make it a bit faster. Possibly a few other custom locations too.
Replace the Cyanogen and XtrSense artwork with smaller more bland/boring original artwork.
More as I see fit.
I am not responsible for what you do with your phone. I have tested this on my ERIS but I make no warranty claims. You do this at your own risk.
To install
Download the rom here
www.360pc.com/bob3.zip
Make a Backup. Then make a backup of your backup and store it offsite.
Wipe your data/cache.
Wipe your Davlic cache
Install the new rom.
Reboot.
once you get to the home screen I recommend loading up the android market app. It will give you some messages about "Google Play" Agree and then reboot again. Your Market app will be replaced with a "play" app and you should be able to install stuff.
Notes
This Rom does not overclock your CPU! it leaves it at the defaults. If you want to overclock it's in the Cyanogen Mod Settings menu.
I did not change the cyanogen mod wallpaper not did I change the extsense boot animation I apologize in advance if any of the developers feel that I have ripped them off. I will be changing these when I can.
With the Browser and the 3d gallery removed the Eris Runs super fast. More on this later.
I'm Open to suggestions or comments, I can take Criticism. I may even honor requests given that I like them.
Thanks for the Long read, and Thanks for all the work done by the Devs keeping the Eris alive for this long. You guys Rock!

Good work man. It's surprising to see some new development for the eris.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Ditto, it's nice to see any kind of development still active.
Great to see it, but a ROM has to have the calendar to make it on to my phone. I think I'd also rather have the calculator on there - I hardly use it anyway, so I don't want to waste precious /data space for a market calculator for the few times I need one. I can't quibble with anything else otherwise.
Oh, though I think you should put up a notice at some point pointing at your source links, including for the GScript tool...
Wow, Thanks for the Replies everyone. Glad to see some people still look here.
The calender and calculator aren't too big it would only add an extra 388 KB to the total size. I will consider putting these back in.
As for the Source Links I'll have to look into this and do some homework. I really just copied .apk's them out of the other two rom's I mentioned. I will gladly give credit when I find out where it comes from. Or Remove the app if I need to.
Aside from that I did find a few bugs. My Screen Density change makes most apps on the market incompatible I will switch it back to 160 from 150 for the next release.
There is a way to make the market compatible even with a changed density. I don't have the link ready but there is someone over in android general that has hacked the market to work with changed density.
