Develop Bugs

At this point...

Well, we have a bunch of roms for hour HERO, in one rom the camera works at 5mpx, in another at 3.
We've opengl working and not working.
In another rom we have Sense UI, in another we don't have it...
So, why don't you unify all those efforts and create a unique rom with
camera working
sense/non-sense (2 version of the same rom)
And all other stuff???
Is this idea so bad?

They are all based on different Kernals (the basis of the rom) so therefore they are built up differently leading to different things working and not working.
It may be possible to get everything working but certainly would nto be a quick and easy task.
Best thing to do is think of what you regularly use and pick whatever 2.1 rom suits your needs until we get a fully working 2.1 dump.

I think, at this point, i'll wait for a HTC official update, and i'll keep using Exit93 roms...

I second that.
As a fairly long time xda-user i often find it frustrating to find a good rom for my phone.
Just the other day i got my hero and this time there seems to be slightly fewer roms floating around but it's still pretty hard to find a suitable one.
I think alot of us have a good idea of what exactly we want and alot of roms have a bunch of stuff we really dont care about as much as the chef.
What i would really appreciate is a clean rom with a repository of optional components, i don't mind there being a chinese keyboard, but please make it optional.
If i could i would love to get in to the cooking game, i've thought about it several times over the last few years. Alas, i don't know where to start, at least not with Hero.
If anyone can point me to a good starting place i would love to give it a try and make the rom im talking about.
Cheers

i believe CKDroid is the one for you. it comes with a small kitchen (windows only) to enable you to customize the rom. it's quite stable too
also ... look here for a start to your cooking career.

this is wrong. all the 2.1 roms are based on the exact same kernel from the only leaked 2.1 rom we have. as soon as the sources are out a lot will change, but until then the kernel is one of the biggest limitations.

I was sure that the sense based 2.1 roms and the normal android 2.1 roms were based on different sources.

kernel != rom
there is only one binary 2.6.29 kernel for the 2.1 roms. compare the roms, you will see that the kernel is always:
Code:
2.6.29-8d063048
[email protected]
even if some (one) devs try to make it look like they have a custom kernel...

There is only one set of freely available source code for Android 2.1 and that is the AOSP version. Note that this is quite distinct from the kernel source code, and is license separately.
For the most part, the Sense-based 2.1 ROMs will be using precompiled elements taken from leaked HTC ROMs, though may have some AOSP elements too.
When HTC do finally release 2.1 for Hero, they must then make the kernel source code as per the terms of the GPL. However, HTC do not ever have to release the source code for their version of Android because the Apache Software Licence (ASL) that Google released Android under is not a copyleft license.

Dave

Always learning...
Thanks

None of the current 2.1 ROMS is worth using, they're all just useful for experiments with Android 2.1 - no more than that.
I'm happy with MCR 3.1 so far, it's fast stable, working and relyable, nothing of that could be said of any 2.1 custom ROM so far. So please wait 2 or 3 more weeks until we finally get a real working 2.1 ROM from HTC.

That's just your opinion
VillianRom is currently offering me everything I need to use in a ROM with no issues at all.
Sure some people have problem with different roms but thats because everyone has different needs and uses with their devices.

Who can create a port rom 2.1 + Magic Sense for 32A?

Hello. HTC Hero users already have a good Roms 2.1 + Sense. You have received an official kernel from HTC. We unfortunately do not. Sanpei created a very good kernel. Everything in it works, but no one has created a good rom. Anyone can cook a port on this kernel? Plz port Viliam or another good rom.
All Magic 32A users would be grateful.
Sorry for my English.

4th.Too bad i missed top 3.

Please help us

I'd like to see that kernel.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642125
Sanpei rom has this kernel, but he didn't opened sources. User Robocik had bricked Magic. He has cooked rom on old sanpei kernel for us.
We don't have good 2.1 rom.

If you buy me a Magic I'd be happy to port a rom for you.

LOL
lol funny one magic user decides to complain in the hero forum, and there are many roms good for magic ported from the hero roms

You don't have right. All ports had created by robocik, but he has bricked Magic.
He was using 2.6.29 Sanpei kernel. This kernel has meny bug. DEATH IN SLEEP, Battery bug, camera crash... Sanpei created 2.6.32, but now there there is no person, who created port.
New kernel doesn't have bugs.

well if thats the case, why not write the cook of the rom you like, and ask him to make a new one for you

Case and movi use only old radio and WGkernel. They don't want work with sanpei kernel, because he is breaking the license GPL.

im sorry i dont really see why you cant ask one of the many good dev's in the magic section who work on kernels,Dwang has made some good kernels as well as cyanogen! i do believe there is a section of the kernels on the forums.

I don't even think he even knows what he's talking about.. I'm using the magic and there are several ports already done. You're asking for something that is already done... I've tried them out and the one I tried works perfectly fine (aside from text app opening slow). Does the Hero even have an official 2.1 kernel? I don't wanna sound like a jerk but isn't asking something like this in another section(another [email protected]#$) a bit... *nicer word* SILLY? It's almost like going to an iphone section and requesting this.

Check the first 3 or 4 posts. There you have your answer

lol!
10chaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssss

I recently ported VillainROM 5.2 using the kitchen from "Chef central forum"
Dont know if i did anything right since I have never done anything like it, but the rom seems to work fine, so far so good...
/M

You are right kawata,i have a magic and most of the ports are fine to use,no we dont have a hero 2.1 kernel yet!

[Q] Best rom? Revolution 2.0.8 vs CM6 vs CM7

As title says..what do you think is the best ROM? and why? I have finally rooted the DHD and I want to try something new
Pls suggests me
thanks in advance for the answers

Can't really comment on Android revolution as I have never used it, don't like sense and hadn't realised there was a no sense option.
Cm 6 is great and the latest release is very stable, but...
Cm 7 brings gingerbread I have had no stability issues, and have been running it since the builds where unofficially compiled from source, current nightly builds are great.
But everyone has different needs / likes, I have been a CM fan since I first installed it on my HTC Magic and it suits me, give Android revolution a go and see what you think you've nothing to lose except your time

yea you can't compare those roms
sense vs. clean 2.2 vs. clean 2.3
depending on what u prefer
some like sense, some like a full stable 2.2, some like to play test person and use 2.3 nightly

I used PNK22 for my day to day rom. For a time had no real problems with it other then no camara yet, this was and still is the only reason i am not using it today..

good
just a question..there's update manager or something like this in the CM7?
I mean, if I install build 18 then build 19 is released how can I upgrade?

download it from thread and flash or use rom manager (the paid version) to get notified and download it on your mobile + update

by simply installing the zip, you dont need to wipe anything as long as only a small amount has changed. Using rom manager or rebooting into recovery and installing zip with that will work.

but, if there is a large change you will need to wipe data etc. Just make sure you dont wipe your sd card

can someone give me a link to the "stable" version of cm7? the development forum is a bit confusing cause there are too many links of CM7 and I can't understand the one you are talking about

h t t p ://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
There is not yet a stable ROM of CM7 for Desire HD.
I'm running Nightly Build #14 smoothly.
Greetz

i loved CM7, but i also liked the integration with sense so i went with revolution, but i prefer the gingerbread keyboard

I'm currently running Android Revolution 2.0.8 with a few customisations of my own and I love it. That said I can't use a ROM which doesn't have Sense UI.
If I could put up with not having the additions that Sense UI adds to a ROM, I'd probably be using a CM7 nightly.

It's Revolution 2.0.9 now (fast developer ), but I find this best for my needs personally. It's all about individuality, so try each one you like the look of and stick with the one that works best for you.

best Android 2.3 + Sense Rom

Hello guys,
I can't decide which Android 2.3 + Sense Rom I should flash on my DHD.
there are the following Roms to choose:
- LeeDroid HD 2.3.4 beta 3
- CoreDroid V4
- Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 1
- VillainRom 2.0.1
- RCMix HD 4.2
Which Rom did you choose and why did you choose it ???
Thanks very much

VillainROM because Nathan, the maker of it, made also many very excellent ROMs for the HTC Hero and so I trust him that he'll also make good ROMs for Desire HD.

i had leedroid 2.2 and it worked fine. then i wiped my phone and installed leedroid 2.3, but only part of sense showed up on my phone! really weird. then i flased RCmix 2.3 and it works brilliant!

you mean RCMix HD 4.2, right ??

If you MUST use Sense (I dont know why...) The Beta ARHD 4.0 is your best bet. Its a good experience so far.
That said, I am a CM7 User, and I hate Sense, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I had the same question some time ago and it's often a thing of personal decision. So you probably will have to try for yourself. All the ROMs have good performance.
I'm using Revo HD because it looks like stock but with nice tweaks.

Only reason that I use sense is because I like some of the Sense apps(Dialer and messaging mainly)

I'd Choose either of Revolution or Leedroid , both are gr8 roms, the others listed Tbh i havent flashed those on my DHD so can't really give my opinion on those tilli try em out. i've used leedroid since v.1.5 and its been my personal fave one to use daily.

Actually I am concerned about the daily usability of the different builds and if it's worth to jump to gingerbread seen the source is a leaked build probably in very early stage. I would like to try it but I feel so confortable with AR3 ... Please someone tell me I would not regret it

You could always back up your rom before flashing ?

I would obviously do it, but I am so lazy that was wondering if this rom is worth it ... I promise I'll do my homeworks and let you know here if it is

Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 1 without a doubt.
Beta 2 out tomorrow so maybe you should wait for that one to flash.

Any idea what time beta 2 is being released?? Im looking forward to going to Gingerbread but am completely reliant on my phone for work and dont have a spare so want it to be as stable and have everything working before i take the plunge!! Also does anyone know if the GB roms can be overclocked yet and which radio should be used??
Thanks in advance!!

Nevermind, just checked and Beta 2 is OUT NOW!!!!

I am using leedroid 2.3.4 beta 4 r2. The reason i'm running this is that i have used his leedroid vesion on my phone since i bought it, and that he is very quick with updates and fixes. Also lee's rom is always lightning fast!

[ROM][WIP][PORT][3D Sense] The Sens3D ROM | Porters Help Needed !

Welcome everybody , this is the thread which will be updated for the 3D sense 3.0 from the Galaxy Ace Sense 3.0 Port , I am still having errors in flashing , and booting so i am trying to help fix these problems , the Kernel is m1ndh4x8r's , but i will re-try to port this through the dsixda's kitchen using the stock 2.14 kernel ... Hope it works ...

Nearly all Devs are focused on HWA of Android 4.0.3, Kernel 3.0 and On MIUI Port.
After fixing this problem we are going to port Sense 4.0 from HTC One.
But if we fix all the stuff I will help you with your Port.
Ps. Open a Working In Process thread if you're a Dev. And also write a usefull
thread, with the different version, bug list, and so on Will help you a lot.

Actually this is my thread , and i am not the big kind of linux developer , but I intend to be one , although i don't know what major should i learn so i could study it
In the meanwhile , I am having problems with the updater-script so the CWM recovery is giving me Status 0 , or 6 , or 7 errors , so I made a scan through the dsixda's kitchen and obvoiusly i got 32 issues , maybe 10 of them were "normal" since if the script is converted to updater-script it will work , but the basis are in the "format" and "mount" strings ... So i can't install it currently , still i am working to fix this script
Now about the sense 4 and ICS ports , I understand that all devs are on it , but i am a "mini" dev , not so much that can help , but my main idea for porting this rom is that it is already resized to 3.2 inches with proper stuff , and with a stock kernel and stock drivers and stock bases , it could run fluently , where as the ICS needs a plenty of work which i couldn't participate in ...

Hahaha you can forget a sense 4 port unless YOU want to do all of that resizing... But miui, I like.

I don't think so ben, HTC will also publish mpdi devices with sense 4.0 and ICS. Think about it, the devices would become bigger and bigger. And yes, I would resize the apps^^ This is going to take me for years but I will And if we have luck, the apps also will be for mpdi. Hopefully.
MIUI, I like it, but I have some ****y bugs.. hope that you can help me with wifi.. HWA is absolutely necessary, for cm9. We should look into it to get it working.
Q.: what are the main differentz between sense 3.6 and 4.0?!

okay guys I am sorry , but this is going down , at first I thought that the Ace was 3.2 inches , while it was 3.5 which means IF it boots we have to resize all this thing down which is really .... i dunno ....

But the resolution is the same 320 x 480 px...If I am not mistaken then should not be any problems.

well after installing the skeleton version I was stuck at a bootloop ... at the splash screen , so this would clearly verify it is hard , maybe if devs can help we can get this thing done ....

vatamanyuk said good Ace has the same resolution as WFS so this is not a problem.

OK dudes, I can see that some people are interessed in this Sense3D Port.
I will make it. I am going to port it, make a booting version and a working touchscreen
out of it and thats it. A port allways contains bugs, I am not the one who solve this bugs.
You guys have to do it.! OK?

No matteo don't do it !! this Rom is Senseless as I have nearly seen , I will be looking for another rom to port ... By the way i got into the /system/app and took out the Rosie.apk and pushed it into my sense rom , and just found out that it is a themed ADW to look like the sense , but still sense is much nicer than that modded version , and as we all know ADW is not 3D , so give me some time to find something that needs this energy we are hiding ...
