any progress on hero browser porting - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has there been any progress on porting the hero browser or is it even possible?

it is dependent on many of the hero files so basically you would have a hero rom, so not really

Look at rogro82's modified launcher
It works on Hero builds? Ace!
ahhh... maybe not, just disabled my phone! going back to previous backup
Are you talking about JACHero Superlite versions? They don't have Rosie, but are still built off the Hero builds so you have flash and multi-touch and whatnot. Uses a launcher, not sure how many screens tho. Might wanna check it out.
Yeah that's what I'm using ... only a 3-screen launcher though, hence this thread!

Hero Lock Screen on Cyan builds?

Hey, I really like the 'slide to unlock' feature on hero roms.. Is it possible to push that onto a Cyan build, or is it too tied in to hero?
Thanks

I would love to know this also as ive spent around 5 bux on different lock screen apps but I think the Hero is the most impressive
Anyone able to give a simple yes or no ?
I don't believe so (I've seen many hero themes and none of theme had it inucluded). I'm sure it tied in to those darn HTC Frameworks :-(
not possible once again htc frameworks like adrian said

Which is the best ROM for me?

Hey I was looking for a new ROM on my new G1. I would like something with a nice digital clock widget, a messaging widget, and just many downloadable widgets. My brother has Hero on his G1 and I love, the only problem is that I don't like the fact that if you slide it up it just freezes... So are there any somewhat similar to Hero but can slide?

As of right now, no. This is because the actual Hero doesn't have the keyboard, and so when you slide it up, it tries to force Rosie into widescreen which it doesn't support, ergo, the crash. You'll just have to live with it. However, Drizzy has been making some progress with that and has actually gotten Rosie to run with the keyboard open though it crashes and then reloads Rosie when you open the keyboard. He said he'd look into it more so follow his twitter for more info.
EDIT: Forgot to say. Hero ROM's are the only one with a messaging widget. You can download the Digital Clock widget from the market for a small price. I don't know the name of the widget exactly, just do a search for it in the theme section, it was mentioned in there a few times i believe.
There aren't any messaging widgets like the one on the Hero roms. You can download ANY widget to any rom though, just search the market for widgets and see what you find. Hero shouldn't freeze when you "slide up" whatever that means, if your talking about the keyboard when your on the home screen that is because they don't rotate, only in programs. If you mean some other type of slide then most likely your brother didn't do a proper linux-swap partition or it is to small. Anyway you need to just try the different roms and see what you like best, also some themes offer extra widgets and features but remember you can get any widget to any rom, just not the Hero/HTC Rosie widgets because HTC's stuff is closed source so we can't port it.
Ok thanks guys. So can I have the original and like non experimental link to hero. I use to search box and only find mods of it, and I guess I am just iffy on the mods. Anybody mind giving me the link to the newest and best quality ROM for Hero? Thanks In Advance

The modded ones are the best ones. The unmodded original is veryyyyy slow compared to the new ones. I would try JACHeroski 2.1 or MoDaCo 1.51 are both fast, stable choices.

All heros are technically "experimental". I haven't messed with the new Drizzy. I'm still putting JacHeroSki 2.1 throught it's paces. I can recommend it. There are people who like each of the different incarnations of hero.
What I suggest is going to the DEV section and read. Decide on your own. Hell, you can flash them all with switchrom. Have some fun and learn some cool stuff.
so good roms

Switchrom for the win. Seriously.. haha Yeah JACxRom is pretty decent. But as far as hero have you tried HERO2 - Freedom of choice? If not I think you'll be impressed. I flash FoC when it was first released and it wasn't anything to write home about but now? Dang.. it's fast. Wicked Fast. Try it out!

Hero Lockscreen + Music app on cyanogen?

Has this been done? the only reason I use the hero roms is for the awesome music app. I also love the lockscreen.

No...The frameworks are differnt so you cant..The eclair hero lockscreen is better then the 1.5 hero's.Also dont even bother trying to install the lockscreen's apk since it wont work.You can wait for AOSP 2.0 or stick with what you have now.Or! upgrade to a new HTC phone like Legend/Bravo/Passion/Nexus well you get the point.

Hero Build

i know the hero builds are built on 1.5 and donut has kind of been focused on more since its release.
but does anybody have a nand hero build complete with nomorootfs, i loved the sense hero port that jamezelle made but i just like the convince of the .Tar file.
if its not something that you dev's are really going to focus on thats ok too, you guys are awesome and im just happy that android has come this far

what if myn put his great skills to a sensui (hero or tattoo) build and got it running almost as speedy as warm donut? now that would be awesome. I'm thinking a tattoo build for native res, plus the new market fix, at warmdonut speeds. that would be amazing.

ik much love for the devs. I just feel like myns warmdonut is pretty much complete. I feel like a snappy sense build would be a challenge he would love to take on (and quite successfully I'm guessing)

But somehow they have time for customizeable button layouts?
I'm all for a nomorootfs hero build if someone is willing to do the work. If not, I'll be ok too. At this point I'm just glad I was able to get windows mobile off of my phone.

we dont have a customizable button layout so obviously no
It's definitely possible. I bet jamezelle would give myn a crack at 'fixing' his old build.
Although maybe a new port is due...

What's wrong with this one?
2.1 Sense FTW.
Hero builds on the vogue have two issues. Firsly the bluetooth doesn't work, because hero frameworks handle BT differently. And secondly the camera doesn't work properly either. You have to use a third party camera app.
I can probably update someone's old version to work, but as far as I can remember the sense build runs about the same speed..
I'll have a look later this week.

Adding Sense/Rosie to Donut is like adding 10,000lbs to a Ferrari .

True, but you still have the bragging rights about having a Ferrari.... and some extra bragging bonus points for having something that actually weights that much
I'll talk to James I'm sure he won't mind at all if I update his build
