The only thing I cant get to work is the facebook app, is there a work around? on the good side does not have a ring delay and appears to run smooth. Best Current ROM
ummm,,,if your facebook doesnt work you should post it in the zero development thread so matt,dastin and flash know first hand about it,,,that way if there is a problem with it they can fix it,,,and yes,,,it is an awesome rom...laater
The Facebook app isn't working for me or anyone else. Right now there's no fix and probably won't be any time soon as it's low priority. Shame because it's been a very solid rom but I like my Facebook
We do know of the problem. Its the very next thing I'm working on. So stay tuned.
Sent from my HTX Zero Hero Sense 3.5
Alrighty.
LONG LIVE THE HERO
I don't know if anybody else mentioned it but messaging is a little off... i'm not receiving all my the txts. I would say about 20% i missed when I had this roms because my friends called me saying y I haven't answered to the txts but in reality I never got em. But other than that this rom is very good!!! Good job devs
Interesting
I will attemp to replicate this only because I have not heard about it...
R1 Release
If I was a girl rom, I would be all over this zerohero rom,,,I was able to remove all system apps I did not require but found it made it slugish, so I used tools like rom toolbox and task managers to try and speed an already fast rom, it slowed it down again, I then started from scatch with a clean reinstall, again it was fast but as time went on it got slugish during sync, which was almost all the time, under accounts & sync there are a few hidden thing within gmail, facebook i did not need synced, I unchecked almost all options cause I only want facebook sense, gmail emails, and weather, it did make a difference, I would leave the rom as is, after all it is fast enough,
ive gotten use to having a non sense rom.
im not a social head so i don't need sense.
widgets and less resource usage are your friends for a snappy hero
Not everyone wants or likes the skinny of non sense based roms.
I myself just get bored sometimes and like to try what's new out there.
The Hero has been a versatile device and I've been amazed what devs have been throwing at it.

So when is your build gonna come out? Like to see you put something out better than what we've done..... Oh that's right your not a developer. Before I even touched it, it would barely make a call let alone a text or MMS. Be grateful for what we have. Because soon here we won't have any updated Roms at all. Who are ya gonna put down then?
I've posted many options to speed that Rom up. If you choose to not use them and fill it up with apps, widgets, and all around crap, then it's your own fault.

Anyone know of a dialer.apk that doesn't lag like f*ck? I'm sure I saw one a couple of days ago but I can't find it for the life of me. Any one know what I'm talking about?
Use the search, watch your language, and moved to q&a
Well, here's an idea. Next time you leave dialer, hit home instead of back. This will attempt to keep it in memory, and it seems to stay in memory longer than most other applications.
Running 5.0.8test4 (was superbad until clay took a break) and my dialer opens in about 3 seconds before doing this, and instantly after doing what I said.
This is a senseless rom. Works great.
You can grab it from here:

Just installed this rom. It seems to work pretty smooth but when I went into accounts to add gmail it doesnt list it as an option. A big part of the phone experience is having this integration but it looks like it has been taken out. If I am missing something please let me know.
Thanks for the effort!

You can also add your gmail account to the native Mail App but, that takes away from the senseless feel though.
Nice job ozzeh, feels very fast. Very clean.
Btw setcpu doesn't work, does it? (Only questioned your screenshot)
My main question would be, do you see better battery life with the Sense-less UI? I don't really have a problem with Sense in general, other than it seems to run a lot of cr*p in the background, my assumption is this adds to the terrible battery life of the Incredible (compared to the Moto Droid, even when overclocked). Just curious on your experiences with battery life with this rom, might make it worth it.

I just installed it this morning around 6am so far the battery life is alot better but, I'm use to having over fifty apps installed. Give it a day or two, for some real results.
Can't download

Anybody else experiencing this??

Silly Questions
But, I am really curious how the facebook / contact integration is without the htc sense facebook integration? Is it the same I like that all my facebook contacts link to my google contacts, but does this option go away with sense?
Also sharing photos from the gallery with HTC facebook, seems like it would go away too, and while I haven't used the regular facebook for some time, I remember it not being as easy and as convenient as the other (i.e. couldn't add the photo and create a new album at the same time, etc)
anyone care to share their experience with these 2 things?
can't get this to flash. MD5 sum is correct and everything seems fine but it hangs at the white incredible boot screen forever! Tried everything but it never works, Oh well.
Try redownloading it through your PC browser or phone browser...it works fine for everyone else so there is no reason it shouldn't work for you...other than an error on your end.
ozzeh, my nandroid backups got screwed up. Your unrevolved rom is my default rom for now, hope it'll support me
Is it possible to backup text messages? It'd be nice to have them persist after the flash

yes! SMS backup and restore in the market or Titanium Back up. SMS backup and restore does not need root but ii recommend it 100%!
For some reason Gmail and Google Talk have the 'unknown' android icon, and they both force close when trying to launch... what did I do wrong? Market works fine. I tried applying apps.zip downloaded (twice) from my laptop and once from inside the phone browser to no avail.

for me the facebook integration is still essentially the same. and i say that because you can still link all ur facebook contacts to google. also sharing is still the same, as the facebook app for android is the same for sense as well. Now, the caveat to this is I came from my sprint Hero phone with no sense and that is how it worked. Also, I have not personally used this ROM yet.

Considering I am having the same problem, do tell, what error on our end would it be? I mean, yeah, the phone was wiped. The MD5s match. So whats the issue?
Its easy to say user error, its quite another to actually help someone out and explain the problem. If you don't know, then don't say it.
I've compiled my own roms for the Moto Droid, and have never had issues flashing them. I think I am qualified enough to flash a copy and paste job.
Is this what you have to do to apply the rom?
1 Download the build.
2 Rename it to "update.zip".
3 Copy it to the root of your phone's SD card.
4 Turn your phone off.
5 Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.
6 Press ALT+W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)
7 Press ALT+S to apply the update.
One other thing, if this is truly a sense free ROM, I wonder if JIT will play nice with it. I know JIT hated Sense, perhaps someone with the ROM installed wants to give it a try? I'll try it out later if I have time to install the rom.
So here is my situation...
First, what I want:
I txt a lot, don't really call much. I want an extremely fast ROM. Light weight (I don't run many apps at all, Pandora, and uh...well thats about it), and not heavy on the theme. I'm happy with Helix launcher.
I also want the HTC dialer, I hate all the other dialers. I want the HTC dialer because I press numbers to spell names to call people. Only other dialer I found that does that is DialerPro or some garbage.
My problem:
My HERO is very very very very slow. With Pandora running sometimes it just locks up completely while still playing music.
If I am getting a txt or have justt sent one, there is a 5-10 second lag in the phone doing anything or responding at all.
Sometimes I can't unlock it, I try to draw the pattern and it doesn't pick up my touch Until half way through the pattern. This is the same with Swype, sometimes it doesn't pick up my swype until half way through, or sometimes it just ends it early.
Its really driving me insane. I don't honestly see how anybody would ever keep this phone if it was acting like this for everyone else. Sometimes I have to make calls in a hurry (God forbid I ever need to dial 911) and the phone just sits there and locks up, or lags horribly and skips numbers, or just force closes almost everything.
I have tried many roms. Currently I am on the CM6 2.2 (inb4 experimental) but I'm willing to try others. I have had the SAME problems on other roms.
I have also tried changing phones and have the same exact freezing and lagging issues.
So please, suggest a rom that is very light weight, allows me to use the HTC Dialer, and doesn't freeze all the damn time.

Not really one out there... for speed and lightweight I recommend aospMOD, but you'd have to give up the dialer. There's always dialer one, which is similar though
Do you use autokiller? Usually when people have similar problems to yours they don't run autokiller and when they do their problems go away. Give it a try. I would say aggressive setting in your case.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
CM6 will fix all your lag, but you'd have to sacrifice your dialer. Are you sure you can't find a third party dialer that works for you?
Sense is very resource-heavy on any phone, so AOSP is type best bet.

Agreed, and dialer one can pick up some of that sense-like feel
If you really want the speed and responsiveness, you are likely going to have to leave Sense behind. Like others have said, an ASOP-based ROM (such as ASOPmod or CM6.1) would be the best bet. If you tried CM6 in the past, give CM6.1 a shot. At least for me, the move from 2.2 to 2.2.1 was a DRAMATIC improvement in the fluidity of the phone's responsiveness and 'feel'. Smooth as silk and buttery on top.
If possible, pair this up with a modestly overclocked kernel. I personally use Decad3nce's latest (11/12/10) CFS 768mhz kernel clocked @ 729 via the Deca battery mod. Once you set up the ROM, kernel, and battery mod - you should be golden.
Also of note, I do use LauncherPro, and run with JIT enabled and all the CM performance tweaks in place except for CompCache, which I leave disabled.
Good luck in your endeavors to remove the lag from your Hero - don't worry, it's definitely possible!
As a sequel to my Cyanogen Nighlies thread, I thought it appropriate to create a celebratory post linking to the stable release of 6.1.0 for the Droid Incredible.
Please reply with your experiences, inquiries, and love for one of the smoothest, rock solid ROMs available for your device. I am also open to ideas about what else to include in this OP including links to themes, juicy nuggets of relevant info, or known issues (should we find any that are repeatable).
For now, please enjoy this excellent release, and kick a few pennies up to Koush. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Download link (or just grab it from ROM Manager):
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc&type=stable
Known issues:
-Cyanogen default auto brightness adjusts only once, so moving from light to dark results in protracted dim settings.
-While disconnected from the charger, trackball wake will intermittently fail. This is a known bug and has been filed as such.
-Flash Test does not do anything for applications that don't have a customized setting. It should still blink using the systemwide default green when a real event comes in.
Solution Sets/Workarounds:
To install the new Market and avoid FCs:
1) settings-applications-manage and delete cache for the market
2) wipe cache
3) wipe dalvik cache

"Best" is certainly a relative term, however my personal preference for both speed and battery life is invisiblek's AOSP kernel.

Which version do you prefer?
Incredibleks. Best Kernel ever. Seriously, for AOSP Roms, it is the choice. Seriously, overclocking on a snapdragon is pretty pointless. The speed differences are pretty much non-existent.
op link is messed up. you got an emoticon stuck in it
wow.. it took a while but nice to see it make final.. seemed like it was never gonna make it past rc status
I'm on 17 and love it but it appears that different kernels are acting differently on different phones. I was on 18 for a while an noticed that battery life wasn't as great and went back to 17, while other people said that 18 was better than 17 on their phone. Now 19 is out and if you look at the last couple of pages half the posts say that 19 is the best yet for battery and the other half is reporting ridiculous battery loss. You're probably best off getting the most recent one listed on the first post (#18).
Great ROM. I was running the nightly for literally a day only to come back at night and see a stable. This + the Gingerbread theme + Gingerbread Launcher will hold me over until the source drops for GB and we get a port
L.E.D don't work when getting text,mail,etc... other then that runs smooth. Thanx for all the hard work u guys put into these!
One question I have is this: I know how to remove the status bar widgets, but after doing so I'm stuck with that blank space normally occupied by the Verizon Wireless banner. Is there a way to put that back in there so there isn't that gap?
Odd that I want it back I know, but some things I'm just anal about.
Is there anyway to make it so that when you unlock and turn off the screen its instant instead of the fade out effect?

Optical pad wake
Is anyone else having a problem with the optical pad wake only working once in a while? It always works if the phone is charging but if it isn't charging it's like a 30/70 chance of it working. It seems to work if you hold it down for like 5-10 seconds but that sucks.
Does anyone know how to make it so when I install this ROM all of my apps do not auto reinstall from the market...? My old wallpaper from an AOSP i had like 4 months ago still pops up as default also!
Even if I select "do not backup apps with google" it does not work. I have also tried formatting my SD card, and phone storage to no avail...
I want to install this, but everytime I have installed an AOSP ROM and then a theme, it goes haywire because there is some sort of backup file I can't find.

There's a bug report for this but no one has been able to fix it. I believe it's the trackpad sleeping when not on the charger.

During the first setup, skip when it asks you to set up an account. Then run a google app like Market, GMail, etc. and sign in. Contacts will sync but applications will not.

Thanks
UPDATE:
Never mind, booted into recovery, reinstalled VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip all is good
had the same drama at first nice fix how are you finding the phone???
So fair I am impressed with the speed, I have not used 4G yet, its not available in my area yes, but its light years ahead of all the other handsets here even on 3G.
Physically I was expecting it to be heavier, and coming from a HTC HD2, the lock and volume buttons are perfectly positioned so that I accidentally press them all the time as they are in opposite of what I am used to and its the same width but 1 cm taller, which means I can no longer use my leather belt pouch I miss having a physical hangup and separate physical answer key which through the circumstances of its birth (WinMo 6.5) the HD2 was blessed with. Build quality on the MicroSD card slot is lacking, it could have been made better. I also miss being able to hot-swap the microsd card as I could in the HD2, instead I have to pull the battery which is annoying.
Software wise, I gotta say that I am REALLY missing MIUI, Sense is very pretty but I find it is not really what I am looking for and its quite clunky in comparison to MIUI... and I hate how it squashes down widgets for no reason at all. I will probably play around with AWD or LauncherPro in the meantime, I'm also not really a fan of the ringpull unlock screen but I'm sure I will get used to it in time. I noticed that the VIVID and RAIDER have sense 3.0, where as the Velocity has Sense 3.5... maybe ROM people can yank a clean build from the Telstra build along with teeter
BlueTooth - Works Great, Syncs INSTANTLY with my car, never skips on A2DP, works great.
Wifi - Works fantastically
Games work great on it, I'm cranking away with my PSX emulator (FPSE) and GTA III runs good, I was originally disappointed it didn't run better but after I reduced the draw distance in the game settings it was good, I think I had too many apps running as well. I installed ATK to take care of that and the phone is much better after I have ATK autorun every hour and clean up background apps.
Battery life I can't tell because I have been using it almost the entire time and it melts through it pretty fast, I'd give it a week of normal day to day use before I really give a verdict on it, I do have the screen at 100% brightness all the time which doesn't help, and I already have an extended battery in the mail. I sync 2 gmail accounts and an exchange account, all in push, and I just leave BT and WIFI on all the time as I like just jumping in the car and it works, or getting home and already being on the wifi.
Overall I give it a 6 out of 10 so far, with CM7 or CM9 and MIUI that would quickly elevate to an 8 out of 10, with all the space inside the phone, the size of the standard battery is disappointing, they could have put one almost twice the size in there if they arranged the sim and microsd slots better.
The biggest problem is that I was really spoiled with the HTC HD2, I'd say 90% of my gripes with the phone are with sense, I find it ugly and clunky and I wish HTC had just left android alone... I don't have an issue with gingerbread, I haven't used ICS yet and I'm in no busting rush. As soon as the ROM community grows up for this phone it will be amazing, until then its kinda meh.

if rooted, you can also go into /system/app/ and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLockscreen.bak and it will remove the ring lockscreen, and put it back on the old sliding tab lockscreen (froyo/gingerbread stock/aosp lockscreen)

Cool trick. It doesn't break anything? I remember doing something similar on my Desire and I couldn't dismiss alarms (ugh) or answer calls, I'd have to do a battery pull.
(also, I think you need to be rooted to disable the stock lockscreen in WidgetLocker, so maybe it's essentially doing the same thing; alarms/calls work fine on my Vivid with it disabled, so maybe I'm answering my own question)

i did it on my mytouch4g and had problems dismissing alarms, but i got gentle alarm, so i didnt worry about it any more, lol
havent done it on this phone yet
i take that back, i did it, but i didnt run any alarms or test any calls, so i dont know if that is broken or not
Ah yes found it, settings > advanced > disable stock lock.
it warns that this will make any of the physical keys wake the device, I'm cool with that
Yeah, I actually like waking my phone with the volume buttons sometimes, depending on how I end up grabbing it in my jacket pocket. And it's not like they unlock the phone; I have WidgetLocker set to only have a 15-second timeout, overriding the normal display timeout, so I'm not too worried about accidental battery drain.
