No, no, not just beautiful widgets pack but widgets like the twitter or weather?
Or if possible manually put it on the phone by taking them out the htc hero roms?
nope they rely on rosie which relies on htc framework and if you put these frameworks into 1.5 you would end up with a hero rom.
sorry
Ok I am curious if this is possible yet, I am looking for hero widgets like weather, calender, mail and messages.
I am running mlign version of supercsdiv4

Im a noob to android have had my g1 a week now
Nope, they still rely on the same things. But we have a few Roms with em. Droid Eris or the couple Legend ROMS.

So im currently running JACHero 2.7.3 and its amazing! I love all the widgets, but i really cant afford for my phone to be locking up on calls and still having some Force close issues. ive tried reinstalling it near 4 times already. I have a class 6 card, tried 32 mb swap and 64 mb swap, and have an 8 gig card. If it just hung going from email or text id be ok but i cant really be missing calls.
so my question is, whats the difference between JACHero and Cyanogen. From what i understand Cyan doesnt run rosie (which i dont really have a clear understand what that is). But i was looking in the homescreen page and it looks like Cyans' rom can still use the widgets and most people say it runs much faster.
Can anyone confirm, and update me on the situation. thanks in advance!
Um you have a lot of reading to do my friend. JACHero ROM is based on the Hero phone made by HTC. It has nearly 100mb more RAM (memory) than the g1 so of course it will run slower. Hero ROMS are almost 20mb more in size than cupcake ROMS. Cyanogen's ROMS are heavily optimized cupcake ROMS that are built for speed. It's not possible to port over the widgets without porting over Rosie/Sense UI. Sense/Rosie requires alot of the HTC frameworks and unless someone can recode them and use Google's frameworks porting them is impossible. If you want a quick speedy ROM with lots of cool features go with Cyanogen. He includes the HTC Camera, exchange mail, and I *think* HTC Music. You can also flash lots of cool themes like Kspec Customs by brandenk and some other goodies too. Most theme devs are making cyanogen-compatible themes because most of the community has flocked to cyanogen's speedy speedy ROMS. If you want a rather bloated but "prettier" ROM go with Hero. The lag you are seeing is probably from having too many widgets running on the home screen. Hope that long description helped I suggest reading the OP of both JACHero and Cyanogen's ROMS. You'll learn alot more there.
Cyanogen is probably the fastest rom to date. Rosie is basically the user interface that you see. The menu tab at the bottom, all the widgets, basically the architecture of the system. Meh I won't go into details since i'm not a person who makes ROMs. But after using JACHero and Cyanogen, I'd stick with cyanogen based on speed, reliability, battery life, and being able to use different themes other than hero.
If I were you, make a nandroid back-up of your current stable ROM and just flash to a cyanogen rom and see how it works for you. Try it out for a day or 2. If you're like me, you really don't need to charge the g1 for a couple days.
Google ION and Cyanogen are the two best ROMS out on XDA for the G1.

i tried to download the htc twitter and htc widget...installed with apps installer...i get an error trying to open htc twitter and there is no widget to be found to place on desktop...anyone tried these yet with some success?
this only works if your RUNNING the REAL HTC Hero ROM.
well that would make sense haha thanks...
Unfortunately, widget-apps like the Hero twitter widget are only possible with the Hero's slick new ui, which is nearly impossible to use without the entire Hero ROM. Some progress has been made porting said ROM to the Dream, but it's not for the faint of heart, it's for highly advanced users (ubergeeks beyond my skill) only, and don't do it on your primary phone.
Hey all,
I recently started using Cyanogen 4.0.4 on my mytouch with the HERO theme on top of it.
I also downloaded the weather widget and it works fine.
Thank you all for the great work...
THE ONLY THING I NEED: the exchange widget to scroll through email.
I know Cyanogen does not run TouchFLO and that some of the widgets are requiring TouchFLO.
Anyone knows where to find this or how to get this.
Thank you
hi guys.this my first post so please dont get mad at the question.
i spent time learning how to downgrade,root,install hard spl and flash rom.problem is when i got done i really dont see any difference.the only things different i see is theres an android on a skateboard on my homescreen and a couple of new apps and console.could somebody please straighten me out why hero so much better than g1 os.i did a little searching on the forum but did dint find what i was looking for.
btw i installed cyanogens new rom thats stickied here in this forum
Try a hero rom and find out, you said you installed a regular rom. Just to name a few of the pros; HTC Music, HTC Widgets, Browser, Facebook Contacts. There are more, you just have to try it out and see if you like it.
Also remember hero rom was not made for the G1 so there might be some known issues...

I installed cyanogens 4.1.999...thats not a regular rom is it?
That's a regular donut rom yes.
When I say regular I mean something that was built for the device at hand ie. ADP/ASOP rom. Unlike the hero, blur, cliq etc roms that are not made for the G1.

flash 9 conent
multitouch
hero specific apps and widgets
htc sense ui
7 home screens
hero roms do have lag compared to cyanogens(and others) donut and cupcake roms.
and u cant open up the keyboard while at the home screen, the touchflo will crash and FC
quick question... and im sure ill get flamed for this, but i have to ask anyway... is there a specific reason that no one is working to develop the hero sys (peep, rosie, contacts, etc) to be compatible with the 1.6 framework???
There's a reason: it's frakking impossible. Seriously, all those apps are tied in to the HTC frameworks, making them near impossible to port to cupcake, let alon donut. I'm still amazed that we have HTC Music working on 1.5 :-O
