So i just updated from JFv1.42 RC33 to JFADP1.5 Cupcake Using JFUpdater, Radio first then Rom.
Everything works fine, however, my calendar and music widgets dont update by themselves, everytime i want something to change (play/pause/songname, new calendar event) i have to get rid of the widget and et it on my home screen again.
does anyone know why? is there a fix? thanks.
nvm a reboot fixed it.

howdy peeps iv been having a play round with the rom to try and decifer whats causing it to be so slow and also iv noticed that messages were also not being recieved.
I HAVE THE SOLUTION
right the slowness is caused by the flip clock with the weather update feature, i noticed that when you go back to the home screen it straight away goes to sync the latest weather information, theres two ways of boosting the speed one is either to simply change the clock to one that isnt weather or click onto the weather bit and disable auto weather update
you will notice that there is now no lag swapping from screen to screen, this deffo cheered me up as the slowness did start to peeve me off
and now for that text swiping demon lol, if you have noticed that your messages arent coming thru i found the fix, its the sms widget, there sems to be a bug which is eating them all up lol, basically get rid of it and you will notice you have friends again.
just thot id share my findings with you, because i am now more than happy with my new rom its speedy and have texts again lol
i wonder if i take the message widget from an much older hero rom like the beta rom would it still have that bug
thats what im looking round for, im checking the dream forums because there roms are flowing out and they seem to have no message probs , ill get back to yas
EDIT: ive just replaced the message widget with the one from jachero latest rom, so far so good il let ya know if i get any problems
heres the alternate message widget
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1PFF4ALW
success
i have had no problems with texts whatsoever since the change over i deffo recommend this to everyone who is experiencing these problems, i have recieved texts and pic messages from various devices and no problems when before i would get the odd one
This sounds like a great find, only one thing.
How do I get this to replace the current messaging widget on my HERO rom?
I want to try the Hero ROM... but the Fatality ROM which is the one that works BEST! on my Magic, seems to have been taken away :'(
There's another link to the download on the second to last page I think, have a look because that's where I got it from.
just place the message widget on the sd card and open it through a file explorer on your phone, its what i did just installs like any other aslong as you have allow android applications from other sources selected
Did you tried with this optimized rosie?

It should be for Jachero's rom but it may work on Fatality's rom too.
I have the Sprint Hero, and this is my ROM history throughout the month I've used it...
Stock --> Fresh 1.0 --> Fresh 1.1 --> Full Wipe --> RUU Stock 1.56 --> Gumbo 1.5b --> +Gumbo Kernel beta
I have partitioned the SD card with each ROM to FAT32+swap+ext3. Apps2SD appears to be functioning fine.
I've noticed that I have a couple apps that lose their settings after every single reboot. This hasn't changed across any of the configurations I've been through, except for on stock. It behaved the same on both Fresh ROMS and still does this on Gumbo.
The 2 apps in particular that annoy me the most with this issue are Weather Widget 3.5 (I paid for the official app), and GTalk Quick Status (I paid for the official app). I'm more interested in these since I keep them both on my home screen. They function perfectly after they are setup, and are very useful apps.
But sure enough, every time I reboot the phone, they have to be re-configured (or widget removed/replaced) and enter the settings again for them to work.
The apps creators and other customers have provided no other feedback of anyone else seeing this issue, and I'm believing that it is something on my end.
Would anyone have any idea why some apps do not retain their settings after reboot? And any advice on what I could do to fix this issue?
Weather Widget is an incompatibility with Sense. If you stop using Sense and use the vanilla home screen, it remembers its settings. Very annoying, but it's the developer's fault.

Weather Forecast v2 and MoreIcons are two widgets I know of that have started to add an extra configuration to their setup screens to workaround the Sprint Hero widget bug.
With the fix in place though, you can only have one instance of the widget running at any given time. Makes the MoreIcons widget somewhat useless, but at least some devs are acknowledging that the bug exists and are doing what they can to make it easier for the end user.
The problem does seem to be with the Sense UI only though because I'm using the SweeterHome UI now and don't have any issues.
Simple: Every 2.1 ROM I've tried has an issue updating ANY weather widget except for the HTC one. Temp never updates, conditions never update, location never updates.
Any suggestions?
beautiful widgets works fantastic for me on dcv1.0
Didn't run v1.0 long enough to test.. Had it for a day or two, went to Darch 4.1, 4.2.2, then after a week or so went to DCr2.. I wouldn't mind using the Sense UI if I could trim the number of screens down and if it wasn't such a pig..
beautiful widgets should work great on any rom, even has full screen animations(on touch only though not after unlock)
Weather Forecast (paid version) is working perfectly for me after flashing to the r2 version of the DamageControl ROM.
(And, the bug is also fixed in Sense where you don't need to reconfigure the widgets every time you need to reboot or restart Sense now. )
I wiped and flashed r2 again and installed only the basic stuff i need and all last night and today Weather Widgets was working fine. This morning it showed my hometown and temp., at work it showed the city I work and temp. But when I got home about 2 hours ago, the temp updates, but the city is stuck. I made sure I'm using GPS and I opened up Google Maps and sure enough GPS points to my house.. AAaahhhhh! This is killin' me! Always something.. I'm hoping it's just these ROMs and when the official ROM comes out these problems will be ironed out. B/c if it's the software not clicking w/ 2.1 then we have issues b/c they're never quick enough to update the apps...
Ive been using the tasks widget from HTC and got a notification that there was an update for it through the htc hub. When I went to the hub to update it, it would not download and install the update correctly. It would say its installing when it was at only 56%?? Or sometimes even less then that and then the download would just disappear. So I thought maybe i should uninstall and reinstall the widget. Once I did it has never been able to fully download and install again. What should I do? And ive tried other task widgets on the android market and nothing else really looks as good or is over complicated for something so simple.
HTC Sense is crap. It tells me updates are available for widgets, yet won't let me update them. It also won't let me download any new ones. My Friends stream no longer auto updates. It has never properly synced my contacts. There is usually one or two missing or a pic is wrong for one or two.

There is something massively wrong with sense 4.0 Plenty of apps are missing icons including Tunein Radio, mirror and others...

Same here, although I can access soundhound and tunein from the music app...
Never had this issue.
My Soundhound Icon is here sitting on my apps menu.
Just wondering... Do you have your apps menu to show All apps?
Mine is still there, however the girlfriends is having that issue...
*Edit1* Did some digging, there are more apps having this same issue. Mounted to the computer and found some files in .android_secure, turns out it's the missing ones. Funny thing happened while I was typing this out, HTC actually called me regarding another issue I have been dealing with and I informed them of this issue as well. He tested and saw what we see. He'll be getting back to me tomorrow on both issues. I'll update once I know more.
*Edit2* Uninstall soundhound, and reinstall from the market. This will automatically create a new icon on your home screen, but it still won't show up in the app drawer. Good temp fix. Also, using the built-in google search widget you can find your installed apps that don't show up, including Tune In Radio, which I have never seen in the app drawer.

Same issue here. The icon for tunein radio disappeared out of the blue from the home screen and the list of all installed apps. The only way to get to it is through "settings- apps- all".
*Update*
HTC Called me back last night. They are still running tests and will be working on this all week. They plan on contacting me back by/on Friday evening. They are also testing the calender notification issues.
Wow- please keep us updated. Thanks!
