Hi Guys!
I have been searching for days if someone has managed to install a clean google rom on his HTC Hero. I can only find people running rooted Hero Roms.
The point is, i want to get rid of all the HTC Apps. I've managed to delete a lot of the stock applications, and it improved the speed a lot!
If i install any other "Magic based rom" the phone will hang on the HTC boot screen.
If i push original google apps like "contacts.apk/.odex" to the phone, they won't run.
Can someone port the original Magic/ION rom to the Hero please? I know a lot of people want to run a "clean android" rom on the hero.

My phone is rooted now with Modaco / CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF.

I cannot see the point why someone would want that . No offense , i mean all the HTC customisation and Rosie was the whole point in buying this device instead of the HTC Magic( which has the exact same specifications and a way lot cheaper)

To be honest, i don't really know why i bought the hero. I didn't know much about android at the time i bought one. Now i know better, but anyway, that's not what i want to discuss..
The magic can almost run any rom, why can't the hero run any rom i want?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please people, i don't want to be a jerk, but don't come up with questions like "Why did you buy a hero then?" ..

I'm on the same boat. When I bought my hero I hadn't really seen any working Android phone, either stock or HTC. Now that I have seen both I think that the stock apps and interface are somehow saner than HTC's, and what can I say? I'd prefer to use them.
Why don't you run the Rosie remover. It will get you part of the way to where you want to go
Indeed! but I also prefer the stock browser, the stock music player, the stock calendar, the stock contact list and dialer... and so on. They look less flashy but handier to my taste.
I totally agree with, frandavid100. I would also love to have a vanilla android rom on my Hero.
Actually, why do magic roms not work with the hero? What kind of modification would you have to do for them to work?

I think that the hero rom is not like the win rom. i mean all the htc customisations superimposed on the windows ones. There, all we had to do was just to remove the htc ones and we automatically got the windows ones.
I guess android's different. we have to remove all the htc customisations and add android's ones. Problem is hero never had the android's applications. what could be done is take a magic rom, remove all the applications and try to port them to the hero.
Problems would definetely arise cause the 2 phones are not 100% identical. some software work on the magic but not on hero bla bla bla.
I know some stock apps do work with the hero. I have been able to use the stock calendar and browser in my hero by replacing the apk and odex files, however replacing the contacts app makes it hang.
We could try to make a list of what apps can be replaced and how, or maybe even make update.zip files specific for that, similar to modaco's rosie remover. How difficult would that be?

I think that you'll probably find that the difference here is that chefs with a Magic or G1 actively want to "upgrade" to the latest and greatest ROMs. So, when presented with a Hero ROM, they will make the effort to back port it to the hardware they have.
The situation with the Hero is a little different. Here we already have the "latest and greatest", so there is probably very little motivation for a chef to port what is essentially an earlier ROM to the Hero. What you need to find is a chef who has a Hero, who either wants to run stock android, or is interesting in the intellectual challenge!
So, it's not really the case that "the magic can almost run any rom" - it's that their are chefs with Magics who are building these ROMs.

Dave
Thanks guys!
I knew i wasn't the only one who wanted a clean vanilla android rom on the hero. Like frandavid100 said before, till there's another "magic rom" or something, we could make a list of apps working on hero.
I've had the same thing with the Contacts.app. This makes the phone freeze, and after removing the battery it constantly reboots.
If we all together manage to make a list of apps, i can create an update.zip which does all the work.

Let's do a test. I know you can replace HTC's browser with Android's. I'm attaching the files for both, can you create an update.zip that removes the HTC files from /system/apps, and pushes the stock ones?
EDIT: failed to upload the files to the forum. You can get them here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TVL3Y8UE

I will do that tomorrow ok? I live in The Netherlands and its 09.35pm and i'm watching a movie
BTW: I also have a stock Magic/ION image. I can extract the apps from there as well. Tomorrow i'll try some apps.
Thanks for the effort guys!
Just another quick post. Below you'll see a list of apps which i'm going to try tomorrow. Please post request apps if i forget one.
- Contacts (probably doesn't work)
- Phone (unknown - probably same as contacts)
- Browser (probably works)
- Music Player (probably works)
- Messages/sms?
- Camera (unknown)
- Albums (probably no multitouch)
- Camcorder (don't know if this one is available)
- Calender (probably works)
- Calculator (unknown)
- Clock (don't know if this one is available)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW; If you guys want the original android lockscreen, just remove HtcLockScreen.apk/odex. After reboot you'll have the original android lockscreen where you have to press "menu" to unlock. Works faster and ofcourse no lag!
Hey, if you come back during the ads... can you point me to that stock rom? I'd like to try some of those too.
I can advance that Browser and Calendar do work (I'm using them right now).

I am sorry.. i'm at my girlfriend and don't have my laptop with me tomorrow i'll post some links to different roms we can work with. But i can assure you they won't work on the hero.
Im also going to try to port the sapphire keyboard to the hero. Don't know if someone already did this, i haven't used google yet.
Actually, the keyboard is one of the few things I like from HTC's customisations I'll give the sapphire one a try tho!

the problem is i follow what they do and it doesn't work i think the problem is that it doesn't actually have home installed on it i've looked thru all of the applications and its not there is there anyway to install it?
Why would you get a desire and NOT a nexus one if you don't like sense?
Find Launcher.apk, Launcher2.apk or one of the launcher replacements in the market (ahome, openhome, home++) and install them to replace the sense homescreen.

You could try installing Launcher2.apk from Nexus One. Some people report it working fine on their phones. It didn't work for me though. Maybe I had the wrong APK.

Complete Android noob here please explain
In overly simplified terms, Sense UI is HTC's home screen, where as Launcher2 is Google's home screen for N1.
All programs on Android come in APK files. That's like a CAB installer on WinMo.
So all you need to do is search Nexus One forum for Launcher2.apk, download it on your phone and install it. Then when you press home button, it will ask you which home to launch. Choose Android home (or something similar) instead of Sense UI, but DON'T make it default just yet as it might not work.
If it does, next time you can make it default an voila - you have yourself a "Nexus One".
Though Sense UI will still be running, so you don't really save any memory or anything.
I have posted in this forum how to turn of Sense on the Desire. Search 'How to turn of HTC Sense' or something.
Since in that clip there was ACTUALLY a Desire being used, it should work. From what I remember:
Go to settings, all programs, search HTC Sense, turn it off.

i've just downloaded launcher2.apk and now just to finish this phone call then i'm gonna test this out will report back. i feel like a crash test dummy lol
You could also try to install the Helixlauncher2 app from the Nexus One forum. It's a modified Nexus One launcher2 with a lot more features. I already made a thread in the Desire Themes and Apps forum since I'm curious whether it works flawlessly or not on the Desire. Maybe you can crash test that launcher too?
ok default launcher 2 doesn't work gonna try the other one mentioned now

I have searched and found this question asked several times but never answered. Can someone please show me a way to make the homescreen calendar show appontments more than one day in advance? Like maybe a week or two? I have seen this action included in .cabs that change other aspects of the homescreen, so I'm sure that it can be done. But, I dont want to change my clock, font, background, or anything else on my homescreen. I have it looking exactly the way I want it. I JUST want to see my appointments for the upcoming week instead of just one day in advance. Can someone please point me to a .cab or a registry setting or whatever will do this?
TIA
If it makes any difference, I have a Verizon TP2 with stock 6.5 ROM and Sense 2.1.
I had the same problem...
I used Cookie's home tab to solve it... but that's sense 2.5
check out the themes, there are multiple solutions
I use TodayAgenda 1.5 on my home screen to display my upcoming appointments and tasks. The software is a free download on the Manufacturer's website and there are a lot of tweaks you can make to the display. It's the only software I've found to display both pieces of information in the way I want, I just disable the default calendar and tasks.

You could download latest factory ROM from htc and flash that if the custom ROM aspect troubles you. You would still want to back everything up first but there is no need for HardSPL etc.

You can upgrade the TP2 to sense 2.5 from an HTC ROM? Will I lose any T-Mobile custom stuff?
Ok, I checked out TodayAgenda and the website doesnt give a lot of specifics. From what I see, I have doubts that it is going to work on a Sense 2.1 homescreen. The program hasn't had an update since 2008. Does it work with Sense? I dont want to have to disable Sense and use the regular Today screen.

Hi all,
I'm looking at some vanilla Roms right now, as I'm sick of all the HTC crap But I really can't stand the Vanilla default rounded-white-awfull style and love the blak HTC's one. I've looked over the internet but I only find some framework-res.apk that would replace the notification bar. ANd I would like to replace all the look of vanilla (included radio buttons, checkboxes etc)
So here I come with this idea. Taking the framework-res.apk of an htc rom, let's say VillainRom for e.g (if they don't see any drawbacks in that) and replace a lots of stuff in a vanilla one, e.g ezHero, as this is the one I'm looking at.
Now, knowing the fact that I've never done some Rom customizing before, is this a quite easy task... I mean, some png are different in size, would this be a problem ? Do I have to do something else appart from zip align, re sign etc ?
Cheers,
LTourist
PS : and don't answer me "if you don't know that, you shouldn't do it" because the one who do must have started somewhere before becoming a rom expert
you should take a look at SuperHero from the VillainROM guys.
almost exactly what you describe.

Why don't you try it & see?
This should help: http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/302404/ande-android-design-editor/
If you need any help I will be glad to help.
I was on SuperHero 1.1 once upon a time... but since the version 2, I don't want to go on it again... This version is, imo, just villain without sense home... which i already have on my villainROM... Moreover, there is still so many htc crap under SuperHero, like sms, clock etc...
I will have a look at the soft you're pointing to me 42turkeys, looks promising
How about: Take a great Cyanmod base (VanillaEclair because of its awesome power saving kernels and CM 5.0.7, or the straight 5.0.8 port) - and try theming with a CM theme? Problem with having Sense frameworks is that of space - and memory usage. They will always run in b/g
Scratch that - Just tried this and hung on loading screen.
Same here, but with the framework-res.apk modification that 42turkeys gave me. I started from ezHero...
I totally agree, sense framework is hell, that's why I would really like to have the best of the two world. And a vanilla rom fits in 60MB whereas SuperHero take more than 100MB... for absolutly useless app's and features... Vanilla with CM and "sense" look would be awesome!!!
Didn't know about the CM theme, i look at it tomorrow, it's too late now, off time
Good luck! If you need any help just ask and I can test stuff for you as I'm running EZHero too.
I assume "theming" CM is actually using Metamorph, right ?
Well, I'll try to learn how to do it this evening. Just in the mean time, I give a try at superhero again, just to be sure I don't wan't any crappy sense stuff, and I'm now fully convinced... SuperHero crashed this morning by waking me up as the htc clock was ringing but without htc's lockscreen...
VillainRom team has made an incredible work since a while, but this release of SuperHero is just a joke to me... (sorry for those who worked hard on it )
EzHero/Sense look, I'm coming
Well, I can't manage it...
Can't do metamorph because it seems dead and the only reliable informations I could find was videos made by stericsson... Which is not helpfull regarding the xml file tags and others specification used by metamorph...
I managed to boot with a modified framework-res.apk but android is crashing just after boot up... I tried to pushing the original apk but I got the same errors since then... So maybe it's not my apk which is bad but just the method I'm copying it : the brute force !!! (adb push ^^)
Does it gonna work if I'm making an update.zip ?
If somebody could just point me where to start, I'll be gratefull

Probably the theme section of the forums as this really isn't development related...

Hi,
I have recently converted from Sence based ROM to Vanilia based ROM (OpenDesire 4.0) and trying to find some alternative apps for the core features I use all the time on my phone. The main one I am looking for is an app which can select/copy and paste in most apps?
I have tried searching and googling and only seem to find this one which takes a screen shot and then OCR's but people say its very inaccreate. I am also only really looking for text not so much images.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Will do.
Just sorting out a few other apps atm due to converting from sence based ROM's.
Search the market for an app called 'Copy Paste It'. It's not as good as the Sense copy paste but it works pretty well.
Hope this helps

The htc Sense "copy/past" make all the difference..I'm SO UPSET that ONLY htc SENSE can make that !! I was happy too with my cyanogen Rom until I discover that navigation without the copy/past is just ****..how the F**k they didnt think about that when they realized these roms to include it!! because of that im back to htc sense which is so far the best for rightnow, I know that the problem is related to the "browser" naked in android, and the htc one called WEBKIT 3.1 have it...why is it not possible to include then the WEBKIT browser in the other non sense roms then ????
I really tried searching around, but I can't seem a straight answer. I just bought the Evo, my first Android phone coming from Windows Mobile and webOS.
I rooted my Evo using the Unrevoked software and instructions followed from this website. Can the Sense UI be skinned? I would like to explore this if it's possible with my current ROM. I remembered how easy it was to skin the TouchFlo 3D ui in Windows Mobile, but I don't think that's the same in this case.
I tried different ROMS, but they seem to strip a lot of the software that I don't mind having. I would greatly appreciate it if you could point me into the right direction.
Thanks again!
Yup, you can.
Take an HTC Sense rom you want to theme and goto system/framework/htc.resources.apk
I've been working on this for a little bit and it appears that the framework icons(ie notification bar icons, buttons, etc) are split between the two.
Hope this helps

Take a look at my ROM probably not themed as much as you would like but its a start.

Take a look into Metamorph, that's probably the easiest way, and right up your alley for what you want to do. Themeing is time-consuming and labor intensive, no matter what method you use to do it (especially if you start messing with the infamous .9.png's) so don't get too frustrated.
Search for the threads about MM and the .9's and you'll be on your way.
