need a point in the right direction...

...i've noticed that the "superlite" versions of hero are pretty much cupcake roms with hero apk's (kind of sort of...?).
so i was just wondering if there is any way that i can just get the camera apk and install it to cyanogen's 4.0.1 rom?
if so, can someone just point out what i'm supposed to do to get it on so i can just do it myself?
(i've looked around threads and google but i didn't find anything bout mix and matching cupcake and hero roms. the reason for the wanting the hero camera apk is solely because it has the "geo tag" for the photos taken.)

You can try installing it...I haven't tried it before. Make sure you make a nandroid backup first just in case it messes up. It *should* work because I believe cyanogen builds already have some htc frameworks in them Good luck

there is a way to do this you kust have to search the forums for the correct libs as awell i would help but im on my phone

Attn: Dev's - Porting your ROM to the D2 made easy

OK guys I am posting the files I needed to port my 2.3.340 based ROM, GummyJAR, to the D2..
This should work for any 320/340 DX ROM really.
Now with my ROM I also had to include the AOSP keyboard as the Gingerbread one doesn't work right on the D2.. Also make sure to to redue your build.prop edits as this update comes with a build.prop
Here is an update.zip with all the needed files
Please if you like my work donate as I would like to buy other phones to build other ROMS

Tried it on a few different roms. Camera and video camera, the things I couldnt get working, work Physical keyboard, the one thing I did figure out, does not. Easy fix though. Your awesome Kejar!!
**I updated your update.zip to fix keyboard. It works 100% on the 3 roms ive tested it on. Can I post it or do you want to post it?

Go ahead and post it

That would be a tad harder since you'll need more proprietary files. It is so easy for these devices because they have very similar hardware.

What should I do?

I want to develope my own kernels and roms but I don't know the road to take to get there. I'm working in some new things (editing and creating system files to boost performance, etc) but What and where should I start learning to be able to make my own roms and kernels for the hero community?
Also which is better liquids 2.1sense rom or nfinites stock 2.2 rom? Pros and cons thank you

Well thats gonna be a matter of opinion.Liquids are optimized and most of the bloat and google stuff removed. Nfinite's not optimized,has senseand sprint apps.Both have odex and deodex versions. I prefer both odex versions of the .2 roms not big on theming ,also the odex ver. boot faster.Deca's kernels are compatable with all.If anyone can add anything that I missed,jump in get your feet wet and add to my observations based

I think what a lot of guys do is take a rom that's already made, strip it down, and then reassemble it according to how they want
That's essentially what liquid did. So I would suggest to learn the layout and how stuff is put together you do that for your first time.
I'm no dev tho, and really have no idea how to do that kind of detailed stuff. Its just what I've seen others here do and be successful and its what I would do if I could. Good luck.

Rom cooking

so i am looking of getting into some rom and kernel cooking. haven't done it yet, but i am willing to give it a go. anybody have any tutorials on rom cooking? what do i need to set up to be able to create roms and save them etc.
any help will be appreciated. i am looking at starting to play with some HC for our beloved tablet.

I am going to stop dropping hints. Until we have all the drivers, a port will be useless. Ask all the devs over in the Vibrant Forums why theey still cann't get the GPS to work? Thye have had GB ported for a LONG time. But I'm not going to push this anymore. Now if Dell releases them, then we are in business, or if there is a possible way to extract the drivers from the stock img(s). Or if someone knows how to write the drivers for the hardware. And we will need a new kernel that is compatible with our device and hardware (that we do not have drivers for yet) because our stok kernel will only be compatible with froyo.
If you guys just wanna list reasons why I am wrong, don't waste your time typing them out. If i am wrong I will admit it if I am proven wrong. What I am hoping is that I am wrong, So prove me wrong PLEASE so we can get HC, if it is possible.

DJ_Steve who has worked with the streak 5 and has made other roms has said our kernel will work for gingerbread, it wouldnt work with HC without having to be recomplied but it should work with gingerbread. Also before you make the build you run a script called extract-files.sh (with your device connected via usb) and it will grab all the proprietary files and drivers that it needs from your working rom. and includes them in the build

i don't think i will get soo deep into cooking, but i will take my current rom and do a few mods to it, do a nandroid of it and post it here
i get home later tonight and i will try and work on something, but i won't promisse.

i got home. will work on something for a couple of hours tops, but i won't promise anything.

ok. something with advanced launcher and a couple of extras will be coming soon.

ROM is up.

[Q] What are you looking for in a custom 8.9 LTE Rom?

So we have root, custom kernel, and now CWM. It is about time we have a custom ROM to flash. Still no developers with the device, but we have gotten this far with the help of other developers without the device. I was thinking we could get a list of requests and then contact the right people and provide them the files they need to modify.
I guess ill start with the most obvious ones.
[*] Root / SU / Busybox
[*] Zipaligned
[*] Deodexed
[*] Ad Blocking
[*] Browser tweaks
[*] Bloatware removal
[*] OC kernel?
[*] CWM 5.5.0.4 w/ .hidenandroidprogress built in
[*] Updated stock apps
[*] Extended Power Menu
[*] Theming? (not necessary)
[*] Tethering
Thats all I can think of for now. Once we get a list of things we can begin to find someone with the skills to do it.

Pretty much what you mentioned. And of course the obvious one. ICS is the big want and I know it will take some time. Preferably right now a cleaned up stock rom and themes would be cool.

So i installed linux on my netbook along with dsixda's ROM kitchen. I dont know much but ill see what i can do.

so yea.
so far i can create a ROM which is bloatware free, zipaligned, deodexed, rooted, CWM w/ hidenandroidprogress, updated system apps, with or without OC kernel, and with tethering. sweet.
basically teaching myself though so it may be a while.

I'm not really active on these forums, but I'm also available for testing on my i957. (Wasn't allowed to post in the dev forum until I hit 10 posts)

Yep all the above. the main thing is to get rid of this UI lag.

On my 8.9 LTE i just used another launcher and it was gone...

I'm using another launcher and it's almost gone. I still get forces. I really want to do a full restore of the original rom before any roots and try to push the OC and libs again. The stock ROM I was given by Croak only helps recover from issues but not the ones I mentioned. It never had force closes or any weird issues before. But since the OC it's been running kinda crazy.

Thanks Orlando for the initiative!
In addition to what you have written, If possible, I would also would love to have:
1. Icons representing cellular speed (2G,3G,H,H+,4G) as on my SGS2.
2. JKAY mod. I don't know if this mod is SGS2 only mod or not. , but if it is possible to port it to our tab it would be great.
Thanks

I am not a dev by any means. I just dont have the time to teach myself all of the ins and outs that sammy devs and AOSP devs do. I give them so much credit. Coming from years of a windows base and no programming experience, its tough. I cant make up for what real devs can do, but for now I think I can get a ROM out which will be decent until we can get some real help.

I thnk as soon as we get a good stable, flashable, deodexed base it will open up a lot more easily implimented possibilities for theming and adding/subtracting little odds and ends that differentiate some of the different major ROMS.
My suggestion is to just work on good stable base ROM with fully functioning basics first and let the community work it from there.

I really need to fix the update-binary and the update script in order for this to work in CWM.
but basically I just did simple automated tasks. Kitchened from my nandroid.
Rooted
Superuser
Busybox
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Da_G Overclock Kernel
NoFrills OC App
Custom Libs for OC
Asus Water Wallpaper
Asus Weather Widget
Titanium Backup
Rom Manager (Dont Use It)
Custom Boot Animation Enabled
Bash Shell Support
CWM 5.5.0.4 w/ .nandroidprogress
If it turns out that the nandroid wont work well, then the stock will have to be modified, which means basically just deodex, root, zipalign. thats about all I can do. I wish i knew more about the whole android system but sadly i dont. i am trying to teach myself but it is going to be slow, so i pray we get a real dev soon.

Whatever you can do man is much appreciated. I wish I had a coders heart and talent. Because spend enough time on a PC to be able to contribute if I could this type of coding.

I thought I had everything set and tried to flash and just got bootloops. Then I just took the stock ROM and made a flashable zip from the stock firmware and that didn't even boot. Really discouraging and it took forever to get my tab back to working. Might be better just to wait for someone who knows what they are doing.

Take it easy... Did you took the $7 AT&T insurance for the tab? Usually the AT&T sales rep. does not even know that there is an insurance option for this tab. I went online and saw there was insurance... And mentioned it to the AT&T rep. when buying the tab and he said there was no insurance option... And I told him, yes there is! And he double check and finally realized there was insurance. I took it, because I know the feeling of converting into a brick a brand new shiny device, lol... And look where I am... Already rooted, O/C, flashed recovery and waiting for CM9 or any rom available, lol... Just taking the sidewalk on brick ave. Lol...
