[ROM][7-14-2009]PhotonMod_Hero (v1.5) [Ready For Daily Use]

Ok, I've been trying out a lot of Hero ROMS and I'm always disappointed in the speed, or lack thereof. Each time I have found myself flashing back to a stable Hero build and then customizing it to my liking (see below). This release is mainly for my own sanity, to save myself the time and effort of getting back to a setup I prefer.
For clarification purposes, I will be referring to these builds as PhotonMod_Hero1 and PhotonMod_Hero1.5
Just understand that v1 is based on LeakDroid's SuperHero3 build and v1.5 is based on JACHero 2.63.
**UPDATE 7/15/09**
As requested, Re-upped PhotonMod_Hero v1 without the Asian IME (pinyinIME.apk). Just be sure to choose English on the first screen of the setup wizard.
PhotonMod_Hero v1:http://www.mediafire.com/?l3inmmtmjzz
NOTE: If you have random Asian characters showing up in odd places, power off the phone and turn it back on. This seems to only happen before the first reboot.
(Reminder, this one does not use AppsToSD. It is basically SuperHeroV3-MAS minus Rosie and all HTC widgets. Also minus swap. and with a few other teaks.)
Also,
Here is "Lite" version of PhotonMod_Hero1.5. I removed the Weather app and widget, and Retro Clock widget.

****UPDATE 7/14/09****
Bluetooth is NOT working in any Hero build at this time
New Build release: PhotonMod_Hero v1.5 - Lite
Based on JACHero2.63 with the following changes:
**Changelog - PhotonMod_Hero1.5 - Lite**
-Removed ALL HTC Widgets
-Replaced HTCCamera with one that works (No sideways image)
-Replaced HtcMusic with old Music app from non-Hero builds (b/c that one is a resource hog!)
-Replaced Rosie with standard Launcher
-Removed Teeter.apk/odex, Stocks.apk/odex, DCS_Stocks.apk/odex
-Removed (commented) Swap partition section in a2sd.sh as I want to try this build out without a Swap partition.
-Added section in a2sd.sh to move a "wallpaper" folder to the FAT32 partition on your SD. That folder contains the wallpapers from the Rosie wallpaper gallery (See Below)
-Added AppsInstaller
-Added Custom Lock Screen
-Added a few "Gems" to the Ringtones/Notifications
To use AppsToSD, make sure you have your SD card setup with Fat32/Ext3 partitions. You will not need a third Linux-Swap partion with this build.
To use new Wallpapers, at the Home screen, press Menu -> Wallpaper. Then choose Albums. You should see a wallpaper folder containing 5 wallpapers.
Thanks to JesusFreke, Haykuro, JAC, Cyanogen, L3wish and the Leakdroid crew, Meltus, and all the other great Devs working to give us the experience we want from our phones.
Rename to update.zip and flash as usual.

you really need to try jac 2.63 with a freshly formatted card and a linux/swap partition. its quite a thrill

Can u put some pics

might give this a try on my other g1...just for fun

i want som pics plzzz !!! and some comments of the one who flashed this .

Fully Functional?
As in Bluetooth working?

Why in the world do you need pics...its hero, duh.
And I have to agree, even 2.63 is quite slow (swapper and a2sd)...I might have to try this one out (though I heard SHv3 had many things not working...).
Thanks for the contribution anyway .
@Shaquiel Harris, NO BT works as of yet. JAC is getting close I guess but NO HERO BUILD HAS BT YET!

Working on taking some screenies for you guys...
be posting in a few...

hmm seems interesting.
wonder how this one works.

Here you see I have changed the background to one I liked from another build. I also have installed the Retro Clock widget, Weather Channel widget, and a few apps (AndroZip, Last.fm, and I really can't remember which else). Right now I currently have about 10MB free (not running apps from SD)

I don't see the bluetooth is working? What do you mean "fully functional"? is the led work, too !?

Ok, I just tried Bluetooth for the first time and it does not turn on. This was my mistake. I do not use it and did not ever try it. I may grab JACHero latest build and mod it the same way (if bluetooth does work in that build) if anyone really wants it. Personally, I never needed it.
As for the LED, as with most Hero builds currently out, the LED does not work. If someone can point to one that does, let me know.

not feeling the "ophone" icons.
but everything else seems legit.
but really isn't fully "functional" due to the fact there is no "rosie" which makes up pretty much the entire experience of "Hero" but good job regardless!

This is true, but every time I try to use Rosie I definitely do NOT have a fully functional phone.
I suppose I should say Fully Usable (once I get BT working anyway)

Well why would he say fully functional when indeed it isnt? and 2.63 is slow for you because your using swapper. Your supposed to make a linux swap partition and have a fat 32/ext2/3 and linux swap. 2.63 is the fastest and most reliable rom that has been made so far And well this is the rom i will stay with. I dont need bluetooth because well i dont use it kinda want LED's Though But besides that.

No,
and I can't say I've notice that on other builds I've tried. Is there somewhere you've see that? It may be part of the new MMS app (which many people are having reliability issues / not getting messages)

I have updated my original post that BT is not working. As for speed of JACHero 2.63, I'll give it a whirl now that I can easily get back to this ROM.
But I've heard "Really Fast" about a lot of ROMS running Rosie/SensUI, and have not yet been convinced by any of those claims.

[ROM] 11/20 - Gutted Hero 1.5 *Add ons can now be flashed*

Update!!! Add on zip files can now be flashed through recovery to install!
Update!!! Gutted Hero 1.5 Available with the MR Update!
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!
Ok. There are many changes in this rom. Some may or may not like the changes. I was thinking that I should really live up to the name "Gutted" so I completely removed anything and everything I possibly could. The change log is going to be in the next post.
Also, as stated above this update includes the MR so any issues that were resolved with the update are resolved in this rom.
Now I removed the clock widget in this release but you can easily add it back and the issue with the location and weather not showing should be fixed. Usually it takes a minute or two to find location once pushed but if it doesnt work also push HTCNew.apk and odex and it should work fine.
Oh and before I forget make sure you remember to go into the settings and do a few things. First go to Settings->Data Sunchronization->Google and set up your Google account. Also you may go to Location to set up your GPS and Display to set up the animations.
Finally, I would like to thank MoDaCo for porting the first custom rom ever to the CDMA Hero and making us all very happy people, Amon_RA for his awesome recovery image, Mlign from the Dream community for guidance and pieces of his rom and everyone here at the XDA Communities for being awesome and never giving up.

Changelog
[Gutted Hero 1.5]
Optimized multiple applications as well as Rosie (also reoptimized Rosie since we have the MR update included) such as the Browser, HTC Albums, Phone and Settings
Optimized additional jpegs and pngs that were located various places in the rom
Added Hosts file to block ads for faster web browsing
Added Sprint Visual Voicemail back into the mix
Removed EVERYTHING. Every single HTC widget is now gone, including the clock widget (Look in above post for more)
Removed all other HTC apps that start up on start up including Teeter and Peep
[Gutted Hero 1.0]
Fast
Optimized apps including Rosie.apk (Rosie was 8MB now it's 1.2MB!)
Optimized htc.com.framework.apk and framework-res.apk files
MoDaCo's great and stable 1.1 rom base
Animations from Moto Blur (I think. They are the zooming fading transitions in Mlign's Dream Hero rom)
New Bootscreen (again from Blur I think, it's from Mlign's Dream Hero rom)
Oh and it's fast too

I'm pretty sure the clock is crashing because you removed the weather. They had seemed to be closely tied when I looked at the original sense ui.

No. I removed Weather many times before and the clock functioned perfectly. At work now so I will have to try and fix it tonight.

# Optimized apps including Rosie.apk (Rosie was 8MB now it's 1.2MB!)
# Optimized htc.com.framework.apk and framework-res.apk files
Mind if I ask how you did this? I'm curious if I can just do that on my phone.

Yeah it's easy really. If you want you can take it from my rom and just replace it. The way I did it though is by opening up /system/app/Rosie.apk in an archive manager of some sort (7zip would work). Then I pulled all the pngs out of it and optimized them with optipng. Then I just dragged them back into the apk and your done. There are also jpegs somewhere in there so I deleted all of them except for the first one and with that one I just resaved it and compressed it a bit. You can look in my Rosie.apk if it helps or like I said, your free to just use that one if you want. Just note if you take my framework-res.apk, that is where the anims are stored so you will want to replace my anims folder with MoDaCo's unless you like the new ones.

I believe it's crashing because you removed WorldClock...

That is definitely why it crashes when you click on it. If you push worldclock.apk and worldclock.odex it will be fixed but I figured thats a bug we could live with

The rosie linked here is a scant 732 kilobytes:

I had been toying with installing it for awhile, then I downloaded the dxTop home replacement and I don't think I will be using rosie ever again .
EDIT: Great rom idea btw. I would love to see a real "gutted" Hero rom, including the removal of Rosie. MoDaCo has previously posted a neat little script to accomplish this:

Does hitting the "Clock" shortcut in your app drawer not work either?

Speaking of weather and location not working in the clock widget, I'm noticing the same behavior from MoDaCo's 1.1 ROM. I've searched for more information about it but haven't come up with anything yet. Do you have any updates as to why this might not be working?

Sweet, thanks!!! (I seem to recall learning this before...just completely forgot it until now, and hadn't thought to do this. I wonder what other apps I could apply that too...hmm)

Will your Gutted ROM install if I have MoDaCo 1.1 installed, running Apps2SD with my SD card partitioned with the three partitions? I have had trouble installed Fresh's ROM because of the Apps2SD partitions.

Since this is based off of MoDaCo's rom yes, Apps2SD works straight out of the box.

post back later if I like it flashing right now, but adding back some of the apps. Many thanks for adding the orginal apps I do use some but others will never be used.
Do I need to wipe then flash?

yeah need to wipe before flashing, ok will live with it for a day then I'll get back and post an update

Flashed with the Gutted ROM and I get "HTC Sense has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" at startup. Can't fully boot. I powered down and rebooted and I get the same thing.

What is the rosie.ask? What does it do?

Fresh 0.4 + Bootscreen-Anims-Lockscreen

Has anyone installed the Bootscreen-anims-lockscreen-signed.zip after installing the fresh-cdma-hero-0.4-MR.zip?
I previously had installed the bootscreen package on top of MoDaCo 1.1 and it was awesome. When I tried to install it on top of Fresh 0.4, it would not boot.
Anyone else had success or problems with this combination?

Use this one http://www.4shared.com/file/155693549/bc10459/gutted-hero-15-extras-signed.html

Is this just the bootscreen, animations and lockscreen? That is all I want.

That and optimized rosie which is more responsive than the included one.

Thanks. Just DL'd and installed it. Just what I was looking for.

Thanks, ruskiyab! I just put this on my fresh .5d ROM and it is quite nice! Love the simple quiet boot up and the simple lock screen. Much easier checking the time now with the big bold numbers!

The optimized Rosie is AWESOME! I love the way apps launch now, very similar animation to a Mac computer!

can you select the htc wallpapers with this mod, i had a compressed rosie running on modaco's 1.1 and everytime i went to change the wallpaper all the images just appeared black

Can the above be used with the MoDaCo 1.1 ROM? the way the thread played out it seemed like it may only be for Gutted.

I have installed it on MoDaCo 1.1, Fresh 0.4 and Gutted. Works on all three for me.

AOSP Theme for EVO Flashable Zip Works On 2.2 Signed

This is my first release of a theme or anything so i hope you like it screenshots are included
What it Does
Themes the following
check boxes (some of the HTC ones remain un-themed)
volume indicator (yellow)
taskbar (white)
all taskbar icons -BT, wifi, 3g, battery, 4g
menu selections (yellow AOSP selection)
power menu icons
what it doesn't do
it does not change the application icons except for settings

Confirmed working with damagecontrol 3.2, only gripes with it are the 3g and reception icons in the taskbar are considerably lower res than the other icons, and the charging icon looks a little big and out of place.

i'm surprised about the lower resolution gripe cause i used higher resolution ones then the stock aosp
but thanks for the feedback
and as for the charging icon i assume you mean the one on the left (for switching between disc/charging) yeah i need to fix that
off topic note the search buttons look out of place when hitting the search button

Perhaps they got screwed over when the os tried down-sampling them itself?

Fadakar: I'm not seeing any difference whatsoever. Can you ss it?

good job. this looks awesome. glad you threw this together. I personally am allergic to anything resembling stock and i also had darchs aosp setups on hero, so its nothing new to me. i like a completely new experience. However i know theres a **** ton of aosp junkies that will love this. thanks​

You paste the same crap in EVERY thread. XDA should add the mod to allow users to ban other users by paying. Make money and clean out the crap threads.

I'd pay for a 2 year ban on that magnus dude just for making ugly themes.

Kinda harsh guys. But he should stay on topic.
Love the AOSP look. Just enough to hold me over until someone can make a full rom of it. Thanks!

Thanks
Added to themes in sticky thread.. Well done, thanks for sharing

failed to install via Amon_RA recovery. switching to clockwork to see how that fairs
edit: installed with clockwork i didn't wip anything maybe i should've wiped cache had a weird boot loop going would make it to lock screen and then restart
edit2: my sdcard was bad which impacted the system after fastbooting back to amons recovery and the nand backup i had there verified through my disk utility that the card was bad >_<

Good job...This is really cool!

a picture with htc sense and this theme would be nice i wanna c the taskbar with sense thanks

I also noticed that the 3g and bars were a little blurry. Not a big deal, but just for the record.

Anyone using this with DamageControl? Which version did you flash?

okay so an update to everyone who said that the icons were low res the system was using the wrong set of icons the 25x25 so i updated the package with flipz lock to contain the 38x38 icons
and later tonight i will upload the other one along with one with a clear lockscreen
still in the search bar the icons are dark when i switched them for the lighter ones every time i would hit search it would restart my phone so i gotta look into that some more
that should be about it
oh and sence still has the scroll page indicator but the espresso dock so it doesn't look great might revert back to stock sence if i have the time sorry
recommended with other launchers

i love this theme but for some reason when i get an email or message the icons on the taskbar have a black square around them instead of just being the message icon or the gmail icon

[THEME]Plastic Tux for CM6 Final[UPDATED 9/29/10]

Update:
This theme isn't to popular but I promised some people a cm6 final version, so here it is.
Ok so this theme is an old theme I ported over from 1.6, I had noticed a lack of lighter themes around here and I know everyones a fan of Tux. I themed most of the icons that had the Droid in them and replaced them with some Tux icons. If there are some others icons with the droid face that I missed and you want them changed I'll try and hook that up.
Special thanks to (updated):
Nebrada for the great plastic theme(http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=562283)
Iktose for the Aeon Blue stat icons.
damiandarkwater for the great input.
And of course Darch and Cyanogen for the 2.2 our Heros!
Directions:
1. place in the root of your sd card.
2. nandroid.
3. wipe dalvik cash.
3. flash zip.
4. reboot and enjoy.
Warning:
1. Don't flash this over the nightly or any other roms other than CM-6.
2. I am not responsible for your fried rom, FC's, slowness ..... etc !Nandroid!.

I would most certainly love to make a splash screen. I thought about changing the start splash but Cyanogen and the teamwork so hard I didn't want to take anything away from them.
I work on the splash screen.
I to love any thing tux related.

I was being lazy and trying to take the easy way out. I hate when you goto those download pages and the intentionally make it hard to figure out where the real freaking d/l link is.

GJ on the theme man .... its good to see alot of new themes popping up lately.

Same tux being the Linux mascot was just another reason for me to love Linux. I flashed this on top of Steel my Elegance and all is well I dig this.

so I made a .rar and changed the ext to .zip but did it manually try it now, or use win rar on the original.

Nice work, those icons are great! love the splash screen!

The android is still on the market app. If you could put Tux on the planet for the browser or something and have him popping out of the envelope for the gmail icon that would be mucho cool
just an idea though.
Do I just flash the splash?

just an idea though.
Do I just flash the splash?

The splash needs to be booted through fastboot and you'll need a eng spl. There's a good post just above mine on how to do it.
I didn't do the market cause of it being part of the google apps but I'll work on that one (the icon style makes in hard to alter since I don't have the layers). Consider the others done I'll post them tomorrow.

Sweet beans
And makes sense.
Very cool working with feed back and all.

Change Log:

1. went through and sharpened some of the icons.
2. some of the icons tux layers were blocking parts of the original icon that should have been showing.
3. iconized the gmail icons with tux.
4. iconized the market icons with tux(pain in the ass might need more work).
5. iconized the browser launch icon.
6. changed the desktop clock back to stock dial (saw anti aliasing in the other).
7. changed the phone launcher icon the old one was cheesy.
8. changes the usb android icons to the andro_tux.
9. changed the default app icon to andro_tux.
10. changed various other icons but was being lazy and didn't keep track.

Woot for update!

Of course I'd be happy to. I was just waiting to see if it was wanted. I thought this theme might die. I'll post it tomorrow night.

Any chance you'll update this for the darch's stable cm6 release?
