Please Remember this is Test Beta and will have bugs.. its not a stable Release
Hello,
Here is the beta3 version of the upcoming CM 7.0.0 for HTC Hero GSM based on Gingerbread (android 2.3.2).
Download CM7 Beta3:
http://www.4shared.com/file/goHWiyZ6/update-cm-700-Beta3-Hero-signe.html
Gapps:
gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip from here http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
ADD ONS by other Devs - added at end of post
1. Smoother Graphics Zip by l0st.prophet (NEW)
2. Updated the status bar and other icons, radio buttons, check boxes etc. for CM7
Note
- Before flashing make sure you do a total wipe data/cache wipe (expect if coming from beta1)
- over-clocking at 748 freezes the device for me, 710 is ok using smartass governor
Testers needed:
As I do not have a HTC Hero under my hand every time, I need testers to report back on each new build (along with a logcat, for each report). Follow me on Twitter http://twitter.com/loxdev
Please carefully read the thread and especially the first post to not report the same bugs every-time

I only just put cronos 0.0.9 on...
Should I give this a go?
Cronos is a bit slow. How's the speed on this one?
Progress!
I'm downloading now
There's no funny screen off animaton ;(
Is flykernel 12a supported?
Wooo! Im gonna try this out right away
Internet calling is working! !
I did it get it to work on cronos gb rom.

I second what dkelley said. Also I'd like to add that drawables look like triple **** in this version.
wow LoL... from lox's cm website link:
"Note
- Before flashing make sure you do a total wipe data/cache wipe
- overclocking at 748 freezes the device for me, 710 is ok using smartass governor"
well duh
don't try that at home guys - keep it in the 651 or 691 top speed are for most people please or your phone will not like you in the morning.
If I remember correctly lox's phone (well, assuming his girlfriend's phone that he tests this stuff on is his old phone) is one of those freaky 748-safe phones. If that's true then what he's saying here is that it's not able to run at his max clock speed. and if that's true and your own phone can often run stably @ 710, then you might find that you need to run @ 691 or lower with this rom.
that certainly coincides with my experience with cgb and with most froyo roms using the 2.2 JIT engine.
I'd hate to read about a bunch of phone lockups because they followed the OP's cpu speed comments on their own phones.

Progress - indeed. I think he said that this feature was untested but listed it as working - which probably means that it works in other builds so he hoped it would work. Maybe I'm wrong - but I'm sure he'll be happy to read that it works!
This thread is not a general, "air your gripes" thread.
Can we discuss solely the ROM mentioned in the OP, and keep on topic, please folks...
3D gallery is missing. Is there a way to add it?
Good work MODERATOR. Ok, some reviews here. Despite my apparent dislike for what Lox did, this ROM looks good if not as good as some other GB ROMs I have tried, you know which ones.

Worked out of the box, don't see many differences with cronos 0.0.9, except that sip calling works fine, the icons are tuned a bit better, skinning works, power widget was modified with new icons, more cm options are available. The disadvantage of CM7 beta 1 is that there is no apps2sd, but i'm sure that can be added quite easily in a rom based upon it.
The real fix still to arrive for any hero 2.3 rom is the general speed and smoothness in launcherpro/menu's and for the animations to work fine I guess. So far I prefer this cm7 release because of the little tweaks and improvements that cm7 brings.
Yeah, it looks stable and fast!
This is more buggy than Cronos Ginger 0.0.9 already 2 resarts and wifi is buggy im going back to Cronos Ginger

Hmm, the home button doesn't seem to work. have anyone else noticed this, or is it just my mobile?
Overall, it runs splendidly. I'm having issues with link2sd, but i'll get it sorted in a jiffy.
Nice work and it's already pretty stable now.
But what about a2sd? And I've got some problems with teminal emulator. Cannot grant su access to this app. Wierd
I found something else...When I plug in my headphones, they are recognized by the phone but when I play music its played by the loudspeakers and not the headphones... It's really annoying!!!
hej what internal file system is this rom build for? If its ext4 im ready to give it a try I hope the build is based on the cm 9 b3 its more stable and less buggy than version b2.

Right, so I've been playing around with it for a while now and i couldnt find that many bugs.
Camera - Known issue
Battery drain - Isn't that horrible. Yes, it gobbles up the battery, but its still better than some mobiles. Still light years ahead of San Fransisco and Xperia X10.
Home button doesn't work. - The mobile wakes up when pressed. But it does nothing in the browser, settings menu and so on.
No WIFI notification logo. - Not vital, just slightly annoying.
Link2SD gives error. - But completes actions regardless and works fine.
MIUI Clock distorted and cropped - Probably due to the DPI alteration. Original DPI setting would be appreciated.
No notification bar power bar - Might not be relevant since i have yet seen a MIUI rom with that particular power bar.

Ta, mate. Great work otherwise.
Correction. Link2SD gives a false positive. EXT partition is unmountable but Link2SD still gives "Appname linked to SD card" notification. It reverts to native app2sd instead.
I went to settings and left my phone on, and when i came back it was frozen. When i held my finger on the screen i got a lil vib as a respond.
edit: didnt get passes the lockscreen this time xD
This ROM is based on the Tun4fish version of Desire_Gingerbread_Sense 1.2 by siulmagic (thanks a lot!!)
I modified this rom and mixing with other rom find in the original HTC Desire section in XDA. Thanks to all developers of original HTC Desire!
This is SENSE 1.9 with some little things from SENSE 2.1 like notification quick settings and notification last apps!!!
This rom is full multi language!!
I decided to make this rom because I love sense, I love speed and I love free ram for multi tasking.
The original tun4fish rom was great, but I decided to make a lighter and international version with some tweak for usability.
Please tell me if you find bugs!

Hey, did you tried with flashing unity v10 kernel? maybe this will help, I see you have v5 kernel already, so maybe newer could hopefully solve some problems.
Affinity uses this kernel, so you can find it there or someone may post link to flashable zip with kernel only.

Yeah, but new unity kernel have a lot of strange problems in ALL roms:
1) Camera flash lag:
When you use camera flash and CPU speed is not at 384mhz, the flash have a lag (is faster, cause is syncronized with clock speed i think).
Only at 384mhz works well.
2) 384mhz issue:
384mhz isn't really 384, but ~ 800mhz.
frequencies > 384 and < 800 are worse than 384mhz.
So CPU will jump from 250mhz to 384 (that are 800mhz) and then to 480mhz, 520, 614, 700.. 800.. 900..
245 - 800 - 400, isn't a good thing.. also UV is bad for this reason, I made a patch for setCPU to disable freq > 384 and < 800, but is only a stupid patch for making UV and have good performance. The problem persists and you can't have good scaling with that kernel.
I tried that kernel on Virtuous sense 2.0.0 and Android Revolution HD 7.0.2.. same issue!
Also last unity kernel have that issue.. I don't understand why no one noticed that
I would love to take a look to unity v10 and rcmix v12 kernel, but I have never read linux kernel, and i think it isn't easy to understand if you do not know where are the important parts of code..
Edit:
I just flashed unity kernel.. camera flash lag is here out of 384mhz, and 384 performs like 800mhz..
btw this bug is present also in RCMIX v12.. same bug, same part of code, I think..
I can't find source of unity v10 and rcmix (I only found source of unity v6)
This is great! Thanks! I'll let you know what bugs i find!
So far I have only needed to wipe the data for the market to get it to stop force closing =)
Edit: it's also got the classic GB Sense Orange LED bug. Pretty minor stuff. I think Siulmagic figured that one out. He's moved on to the G2x, but he might help us out with that one.
Lightflow from the market is a temp workaround for it. I think you just install it and enable it and it turns the led off after a few seconds.

Thank you! I'll make same test when I get time.
In the original rom by Siulmagic this bug is fixed, I have to check if the tun4fish rom introduced that bug or it's my rom only.
I think the bug is in the framework or something similar.
I'll find where is the problem and I'll try to fix using the incriminated file from the original siulmagic rom (without that bug)
Today I've discovered that my phone has powered down twice.
I deleted com.htc.launcher because I use Nemus Launcher, but I'm going to restore it and see if it happens any more. Besides that, I've done no other modifications besides reinstalling apps.
I'll let you know if I find this happening any more.

Now I'm making Light Sense 0.2.
I'll remove orange led bug, brightness "bug" and the green glow overscroll that I don't like.
I have modified framework-res.apk to create a new charge animation because the old was ugly IMO.
I hope to introduce other things. I would love to prevent rosie rotation..
Those all sound like good changes to me! Never really liked the overscroll glow effect anyway.
After a few days on this, I'd say this rom has some of the important features of sense (contacts/social integration) with the speed and multitasking of aosp. Good stuff.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
Good idea to make a real fast and clean sense ROM. I allways wonder why people only developed those laggy sense 3.5 roms. If the bugs are all sorted out i'll take a tour!
Grtz
I'm having some problem in editing framework-res.apk.
I think the problem are the permits or something similar.
Now v0.2 boot with chmod on framework-res.apk, but miss some feature of An-Droid rom, because mixing the framework I can't boot.
I'll find a solution in some days.
Is trackpad wake still going to be enabled, and only trackpad unlock removed?
regarding framework-res.apk, are you simply replacing the image files for the charging animation? If so, make sure the names match exactly, and that there are the same number of files after. If there are extras, I don't think it matters, but less will break it. I think.
I'll see if I have time to try and find a tidy solution to removing the overscroll glow.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
I got rid of the green overscroll glow.
Here is the framework-res.apk:
http://db.tt/B0c0gnw0
Just put it in /system/framework/
And set the permissions to rwx, rxx, rxx
(Is that chmod 644?)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
Thank you =JKT=
Now I'm at work to finish the new version
I hope to upload v0.2 in some hours
PS: trackpad wake is here, removed only trackpad unlock.
PPS: uploading now on minus. Now I go to sleep, tomorrow will post the direct link for version 0.2 for now use my minus page, you will see 0.2 when upload is done.
big news in this version!! Led bug is gone, new stuff from sense 2.1, for now only deodexed, for now battery percentage is gone (give me some days to re insert this as flashable update)
Hey guys I have galaxy w (I bought it 10 or 12 days ago).Don't worry i studied my lesson.I know how to root,flash,install apk etc.
I rooted my phone and installed REM ICS.But i'm not happy with it.Because it has a few problems
In the first place, i want to tell you what i'm looking for.
I just want proper sms app (no mms converting), WORKING gps,menu customization [not by date or title (i'm happy with touchwiz)]
Most important -> goot battery life.That's all folks.
But i can't find a rom that meets my wishes.
Now i'll install rebel rom 3.0.6.
But if you have a recommendation PLEASE let me know.
p.s. : I'm sorry if there are grammar mistakes.Thanks in advance. :good:
CyanogenMod Alpha 8 version should be good to you
but you have the SMS to MMS converter on everyrom (i think) & touchwiz
but normally in options you can adapt it
good batterylife & performance
Or BioHazard has it all (based on cyanogenmod)
just flash the ROM + extra sms file (to get normal sms lay-out) - Biohazard customisation - good batterylife & performance (& touchwiz)
has jellybean 3 features & customisation
EhndroiX is a nice rom based on cyanogenmod
but it has it flaws, batterylife isn't perfect but it's a smooth ROM
it also has touchwiz and Jellybean lay-out
Personally i'm running EhnDroix right now but i'm thinking to switch to cyanogenmod (due to the better batterylife) or biohazard
Now about the GPS function you can use Google Maps / Navigation, you can also download Sygic GPS (look on some forums for a "free" version of it )
then you will have a free offline GPS system with TomTom maps navigation
i hope i helped you out a bit

has jellybean 3 features & customisation
EhndroiX is a nice rom based on cyanogenmod
but it has it flaws, batterylife isn't perfect but it's a smooth ROM
it also has touchwiz and Jellybean lay-out
Personally i'm running EhnDroix right now but i'm thinking to switch to cyanogenmod (due to the better batterylife) or biohazard
Now about the GPS function you can use Google Maps / Navigation, you can also download Sygic GPS (look on some forums for a "free" version of it )
then you will have a free offline GPS system with TomTom maps navigation
i hope i helped you out a bit

touchwiz is there on EhndroiX (i'm running it..)
and the camera function is available in alpha 8
when you go to the Galaxy W I8150 Development topic, you can see the progress made and a changelog to base you on through all the versions

Ps. Click on thank you button if i helped you
Ive been using SGW for a lot of time now, when i had the stock rom i used ADW laucher for the menu. As for the battery life, keep 3G turned off or install JuiceDefender, it turns on 3g every X minutes, instead of keeping it on all the time. It also adjusts the brightness. My battery would last nearly 3 days that way with moderate calling.
Hugs.
Also i wonder if there is something wrong with my original samsung charger.When i charge my phone with its original charger, battery drains quickly (%85 in 2.2 hours).But when i charge it with my friend's htc's charger it downs to %97 in 2 hours.Just weird.

In the first place, i want to tell you what i'm looking for.
I just want proper sms app (no mms converting), WORKING gps,menu customization [not by date or title (i'm happy with touchwiz)]
Most important -> goot battery life.That's all folks.
But i can't find a rom that meets my wishes.
Now i'll install rebel rom 3.0.6.
But if you have a recommendation PLEASE let me know.

As I know Rebel ROM is not coming with a TW launcher, you may try Black Notes Last Page if you wish, it came with a TW launcher, just for your info, in Black Notes, you would have to reboot your phone after running the 99SuperCharger init.d script, as it may cause you unable to receive your message, but it wouldn't really affect you if you don't run the script. Hope it helps.

Are you using the USB cable as charger? That one will be much slower than the charger. For a decent battery life, I would recommend you to use a GB ROM with Juice Defender at this moment, because the battery life for CM9 may be vary from version to version at this moment.
I use its original charger (mini USB).I installed rebel rom it seems like it's okay.But i'm not sure yet.
Ok it sucks more i know it now.SMS problems,slow browsers,performance sucks
Looking for good battery life? Most of the GB roms provide good battery life. Not so sure with ICS roms, right now. If you don't mind using GB rom, i would recommend you MUTANT ROM, not bad.

Hey guys I have galaxy w (I bought it 10 or 12 days ago).Don't worry i studied my lesson.I know how to root,flash,install apk etc.

If you are looking for an economical premises ROM battery GB ROM only the best in my opinion.
I myself have come back to GB after I felt in CM9 b8 only for reasons of battery.
I myself use kezra v4 final ROM, kernel xxlm8. And what you need everything works fine here.
Try cm9 beta 1, major issues fixed,read the thread

Also, try upgrading baseband. Older baseband might have bugs that made it too aggressive and/or not smart enough to tune power usage.
Back in the CM9 thread, someone posted that he experienced a great boost in battery life after upgrading baseband.
Word of caution: make sure that the newer baseband is compatible with your country's networks.

i'm currently using the stock jelly bean 4.3 build and i'm not satisfied with it due to poor battery .i need a custom ROM that drastically improves the battery providing a full day of usage with 3g mobile data always on . i hear that installing custom ROM will degrade camera performance since the image processing algorithms get lost ,it it true ? is there any custom ROM that provides best battery life ,good call quality ,decent loud speaker(atleast similar to the stock one) and the same camera performance offered by the stock ROM
That would be great if custom rom had all you need,
But reality is that it doesn't at the moment
Yes camera quality on custom ROM is not as good as stock MIUI, also same with speakers
But you can improve battery life, heating issues, etc with proper selection of custom ROM and KERNEL
STOCK MIUI:-
1)Better Camera
2)LOUD speaker o/p
CUSTOM ROMS+KERNEL:-
1)Better battery
2)Better RAM manegment+Multitasking
3)Less heating
4)Updated Android Experience
BANG that THANKS button
at the end i ended up with the stock ROM jelly bean 4.3 since camera is very important for me . to prevent the overheating and battery issues i rooted the phone and underclocked the cpu to 1.2ghz with minimum frequency as 384mhz. may be this will help the phone to get the best of both worlds
Anyways there is a win
BTW the camera on custom ROM is not trash,its good.Stock camera has some edge over it that's it.
Anyways u should give a try to custom ROM sometime later(For me lollipop is much better than Jellybean) give a try,you can always revert back to stock if not satisfied.Your wish,use the one which gives more satisfaction
BANG that THANKS button
is the cm11 4.4.4 ROM in stable state ? i mean the most less bugs because this phone is my daily driver and i dont need it to fail on any occasions
Yes its stable I used it few months ago,CM12.1 that I'm currently using is also stable
BANG that THANKS button
the word i mean stable is no bugs . i know that still lollipop is under development . my xperia l is getting official cm 12 and there are bugs with it . that's why i'm asking whether the cm11 is super stable with no bugs

Unofficial cm11 r26 is the last update for kitkat from the armani group and is considered to be quite stable. I think battery life should be at least ok if not good. CM12.1 r4 has poor battery life at the moment. Miui v50 is supposed to give reasonably good battery life so try it if you haven't yet.
You can install the miui camera on cm11 or 12.1 but you don't have the option to save to sdcard or the HDR options but it works. I don't think the processing algorithms are any different since its the same program.
Yes, Camera in CM11 and CM12 is not as good as Stock. Especially video recording blinks when trying to focus which is a dealbreaker for some.
Well,If we consider that stock camera is 10/10 , CM11 would be 8/10.The same goes for speakers.I don't understand why the music,from youtube or music player is not that loud,and when the phone rings,it's like he ate a powerfull speaker
I used cm11 for a long long time and now I kinda regret that I updated to miui v6.The good thing about cm11 is that you decide what to keep,what to delete,battery is good,ram management is great,phone doesn't heat like crazy.
In the end , we don't have a custom rom or a stock rom which has it all.I remember I was very happy on miui v5 with some thermal config and root acces.thinking to revert back to that,I remember i switched because i got bored.

I did a few test camera shots and found that the CM11 camera performs quite similarly to the miui camera. I was hard pressed to tell the difference btwn both apps except through from pixel peeping. Is there a scenario like HDR where the miui camera performs significantly better (8 vs 10) as you say?
Miui v5 has that 1gb zram thing which puts some lag, fast overheating due to 1.6Ghz max clock and has that sms bug which I didn't like. I could reduce the clockspeed after rooting but I still the 2 other issues and miui is too bloated for 1Gb ram.

First things first,the HDR doesn't even work in CM11.
Then,the ram management is decent,all you have to do is to strip down the rom a little(remove all bloatware,the security thing,don't use sync and don't let all your apps notify you,use notifications just for what you need.Greenify is also a good option after you did all those things.In MIUI V6,when you use the phone a little,like browsing for couple of minutes,or use camera,or facebook and so on,when you click on home button,an message appears " Just a sec " and after 2-3 seconds the launcher appears.Also,multitasking is bad in MIUI v6.I mean you open facebook for example,you click on a link and gets you in browser and then when you come back to facebook it doesn't starts from where you left it,it loads again.In miui v5 at least I could open 3-4 apps and use multitasking properly.
About sms bug,I have no clue what you're saying.
The heating isn't an issue,of course if it's not underclocking the cpu too much and the phone lags.Just flash a better thermal config from xda and there'll be no issues.
In conclusion,this phone will always lack something.It's cheap and that says it all.However,the building quality is great,I've dropped it couple of times,few times even without case and I couldn't see a scratch.The camera is amazing,including the video one.The performance,well,it comes at a cost.Either you reduce performance and keep the cpu cold,or you choose to play great games,but the phone will heat up.Honestly,I used an samsung galaxy s5,not mine,but played with it a little,and it heats up pretty bad too.So...enjoy your redmi 1s.
^pretty much sums it.
Could you please guide me towards a thermal config for stock ? Will i need to flash a kernel or a governor?
Thanks

If the only difference btwn the miui vs cynogen/google camera quality (8 vs 10) is HDR, then custom rom users aren't doing so bad.
The SMS bug affects numbers where the country code ends in a "0" and some sms's cannot be replied from the messaging app depending on how a phone number is stored in the contacts list (whether it contains the country code or not). Its a big problem and the bug report is still open. According to Xiaomi theres no easy fix.
Having the max cpu clock set to 1.6Ghz means the phone heats up far more quickly. And manufacturers whose phones use the same cpu only clock it to 1.4Ghz. Thats why CM's default speed is set to 1.4Ghz as well.
Enjoy your redmi 1s too.

Here's the link.Choose whatever you like.Remember to use it only on stock miui v5.I haven't tested it on miui v6,but it's not necessary,as miui v6 doesn't have this issue.
