Hey guys,
I modded JAC's Hero ROM to work without rosie/htc sense. Before you ask: This is for those people who are not into the new user interface, but want the better browser with flash support. I did some other changes as well.
Here is what I changed:
-removed Rosie and it's widgets
-removed HTC Twitter
-removed HTC Stocks
-removed HTC Weather
-added launcher.apk
-changed hardware keyboard layout to qwertz (german)
This build is by far more usable than with rosie, as it doesn't suffer the known lags.
Using swapper is not necessary.
Update 10.07.09:
Now based on 2.5 slow sd:

Download link for old version:
http://rapidshare.com/files/252749840/JACHero_2.33_without_rosie_mic_fixed_qwertz.zip
If you need a qwerty layout download and unzip the following file and use the included qwerty.bat:
http://rapidshare.com/files/254297215/qwerty.zip
Does it still include exchange sync, facebook integration, twitter/flickr integration, etc.?
maarvellous. just what i'm looking for. going to take an age to download though for some reason
can i assume that all the facebook and album stuff is still there?
i bloody love this. admittedly i've only had it going for about 20 mins but it is super fast. and not super fast like the normal hero roms are (as in not very fast) but proper fast. the htc apps seem instant to me. I haven't finished trying them all but i have noticed that Stocks does not work.
I denied and uninstalled swapper when it first started up as it doesn't seem to be needed for this build (and I've already broken one card), i haven't actually put apps2sd yet and have 34mb available
thanks djvw, just what i was looking for.
could you just let me know what i need to do with the qwerty keyboard thing to install?
Double post
Is the known sms issue fixed??
Ive removed rosie from jac and drizzys hero but i still have the same problem on both......
So just wana know if someone has tested and confirmed sms/mms is working, thanks.
No idea. It's late here so i havent received one but i would have thought that if you'd already tried a build with rosie removed then this would be the same. Unless somehow memory shortage is causing the sms issue.
Better browse? The Flash hardly seems worth it. Besides the visual bookmarking, I'd say the old browser is better. I get some serious lag with this browser. I wish there was a way to disable the flash in settings. I don't need flash banner ads

Its got the htc browser from the more recent builds. Haven't tried flash yet but it fires up straight away which I wasn't always getting on the rosie builds

I agree about the flash, and you can disable javascript in settings, but i think the hero browser is slightly faster than the old one. And visual bookmarks is a plus.....
and yea i think the memory issue is def the main factor behind the problem...
looking forward to trying this out. how do i revert back to the qwerty keyboard layout using terminal?
I'm assuming just copy trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin to the sd card
then type:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
exit
Is this correct?
Just what I was looking for, thanks a lot, my phone is booting
Edit: The best G1 Rom Ever !!! Thanks a lot, very good job !! HTC Stock Force Closed but I don't need it ...
Does wifi work?? And can we use lucid's new app on this rom?? I know with the fatality hero rom I couldnt.

Download and unzip JAChero rom and pull it from there and copy them to the root of your sdcard and install them using astro file manager.

there not on this rom coz they need rosie, and rosie is removed from this rom
Does this still require the new SPL or is the removal of Rosie enough to free up space for older SPL ?
finally
Finally some smart people listening to me.. not saying that yall others arent smart! but u know what i mean, i havent used 2.3.3 im still using 2.2.1 without rosie, what is the real difference im trying to make a decision to flash as of now but... if its not broke dont fix it aye?! Also my texting has always wworked i recieve every text EVERY text but the times sometime are a little they text me in like the future and sometimes they text me in the past i cant explain it its weird. and YES, we still have facebook integration twitter everything.. its pretty sexy if u ask me with only 3 pages which is all u need and u still have the black bar. this is the best rom ive ever had ever havent changed since wow. no lag mines runs like ion plus, haha i got 27mb of internal storage without partition... wow this is crazy and everything is here. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES SPEED AND STABILITY... On a scale from 1 to 10... its 9.. cuz of bluetooth and weird text.. but i rm alll the htc stuff from rosie and swapper and all that i dont get the point/need of swapper? if anyone is interested in telling me
Yes, it requires the new SPL
So how do you revert the Qwerty back to english with the supplied .bat file. Und wieso must es eigentlich Deutch sein? Ich mags viel lieber auf English. I also dont understand the whole Sense UI thing.....sure it looks great but I also dont care for it. I just want the integrated Facebook and other good usefull apps. And if anyone is still having any kind of SMS issue then please say something cause I just prefer not to flash and take my chances. But it looks like I will just stick around and wait for an actual stable ROM with no major kinks. And good job to the uploader. Schoenen Abend noch und vielen dank!!
This thread is for anyone that wants a more customized rom.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will take any rom released on xda for the dream and customize it to ur liking.
If you don't want the msg/mail widgets or a song played during the boot of ur hero rom I will do that as well.
I won't theme a rom for you nor will i create a rom from scratch, i will only modify it to ur liking.
If this sounds like something that you would want just contact me via twitter or email when you know what you want.
Message me the apps you dont want or apps you want added to the rom.
Twitter - follow me on twitter and post a tweet so i can read it when im not at my computer. Thanks.
Gmail - [email protected]
If this isn't the right spot for this thread mod's please move it, I'm just trying to make things easier for the more noobish people in this forum.
Update: There is a rom at the bottom of this page with some specs if you want to try it.
Thanks and happy flashing.
Well, I guess that's a nice thing to do. Thanks for sharing. Although, I would be interested in a nice tutorial on how to take a ROM off XDA and modify it by removing/adding components... Lemme know if you can help.
Thanks again for your helping intentions!
Long live Android and the community
yea, actually being able to compile a full rom pack for fresh regular wipes complete with apps and whatnot would be killer. I'm sure there's a guide to compiling your own package somewhere though. This totally is the dev department =P Check the huge list of q&a
I'm just want people who get frustrated easily to be able to have the same benefits as the rest of us. You just tell me the rom you want, we'll chat for a little and i'll tell you what apps i can take out and you can ask me to add some apps into the rom..if you want a theme i can help you pick the best one for you and other things along those lines. I already have a few requests and I'm going to sleep now but I will try and get you guys ur roms as soon as I possibly can.
I could use (a lot of people who do embedded systems stuff could use, actually) a cupcake rom with the serial port enabled, TTYMSM2. This would allow hooking up th Dream to a number of devices (Including a sonar if you want to do the Dark Knight scanner thing ).
Ideally it should have variable baud rate but if thats not an option, a lot of stuff (DGPS, sonars...) still runs at 9600 baud.
So would it be possible to get Ion with the htc dialer and htc mail app(exchange)?
I have a few requests that i will be getting to tonight. I will try my best to get them done in speedy orderly fashion.

i would just like a how to on making a lock screen
This is an update from drizzy that i modified a bit for a friend..
-for weather or flip clock use the android widget
-no mail/sms widgets
-updated onscreen keyboard just have to enable it.settings->Locale & Text-> Disable Touch Input
-Some extra games you can delete them from Settings->Applications->manage applications
-other fixes that seem to make it quicker.
-don't overclock, enjoy.
Update.zip
idc what rom it's running on (i'm on cyan 3.9.1 i believe), i just want the camera from wherever you can get it from that has the "store location in photo/pictures" option.
this would be a dream come true. lol
i looked for an app that offered it but seen nothing. =/
pictures store on ur sd card in DCIM/100 Media and wont go anywhere as long as you don't format ur fat32 partition..im not sure where else you would want them to be stored though.

I think he means one that embeds the current GPS data into the image.
So, when he takes a picture it will embed the data of *where* the picture was taken.
Ide like to see some of the hero widgets, like photo album, and the large calendar, and the twitter widget, work on the JACxHERO v1.3 rom
That would be pretty cool, Just all the HERO widgets in general work on the JACxHERO 1.3 build
that would be cool
Background phone
Is there a way to get the background of the contacts, fav, ect.. To black with white fonts. I'm running JacXHero 1.1 with themed palm-hero V3r2.
Thanks
P.S also how can I get TouchPal to work it always gives me an error.
Thanks again

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. Thanx Nedlinin, I guess I phrased it wrong. Lol
Acutally, if it's easier, you can maybe point out a tutorial or tell me how I could pull out the camera apk from 1 rom and install it in another.... (?_?)

Yeah thats possible, i'll work on that when i get back from vacation..I'll take care of you. To get touchpal to work u just have to have touchpal the only one checked. Then ur set, no errors.
is it possible to customize a fast lag free rom and have it look like the hero.....i like the way the text messages and icons look also like the dialer and the menu.....but hero is so slow sometimes.....thx...
let me get Drizzy's NewVision_2.8 with bluetooth and paid apps working, or Drizzy's NewVision v3r2 with bluetooth and the keyboard working.
i would like a rom that when installed would add 96mb of RAM, would give me the ability to fly as well as to teleport. also i would like it to include a notification ringtone sampling the episode of the boondocks where ed and rummy try to kidnap oprah and ed says "*****es love smiley faces."
just kidding though the last would be cool lol.
but seriously though you are doing a great service for the community. keep up the great work and don't lose your patience.
It's been a long minute since I posted one of these thingies. It's been like what, 6 months? Hehe I've been lagging on the new builds, sorry folks for not making a manilla release of my earlier work... my bad. The new kitchen ivanmmj put out is pretty chill and that's what I used to cook this bad boy up. As usual, it's RUU friendly.
20.18 MB RAM
36.95 MB storage
Build 28205... If anyone knows of a cleaner build, lemme know
Apps included
Xtask - mapped to the button that used to be the comm manager for easy task switching
Opera Mini 5 [not the beta] with Jbed
Nice for certain folks to get to crackin on TCPMP again, always loved that app and now it's leaner, meaner, and skinned hehe thanks bimbam69
Total Commander
Arcsoft MMS 5.2.8.45
XDA Shutdown
I decided to theme this bad boy fingerkb got upgraded to Swype, this one's pimpin Xpressyourcell's dusk blue skin scaled down to qvga, and for kicks n giggles I preloaded the dictionary with some basic swear words, so you can be cussing like a sailor right from the get go!
JWMD Icon Changer is also here as well, it has dZenkinZ icon set loaded on there, my bad for forgetting the start menu selection, that was from another theme.
I modified my shellres.96.dll file and ripped out the icons from tacchan23's dusk taskbar, and someone's android taskbar (I can't remember for the life of me it was a whiles ago), resized some and replaced just a couple.
This is also using DJ Cedric Blue Carbon titanium replacement, plus some of the icons were thrown into my shellres.96.dll
Oh yea... the start button is also a bit different, I don't like the M$ logo, what can I say?
I finally got how to proprely set a default theme upon cooking and this one is using lyapa's Azenisll theme. It's pretty sick in my book. I did some slight touching up on a couple of icons within it.
The lockscreen is skinned grzegorz10's dusk lock screen.
Still using the old school 8 button touch comm manager from my previous build, but I threw in some color, same dialer as before, nothing new there.
The boot screen does not lampoon the "president" of the United States any more. The welcomehead96 is filled with such evil I cannot describe it here but you can view the thumbnail below. I'll say it once and I'll say it again, Steve Jobs is a **** and the animated splash screen shows Apple what I think of their products. My bad for not being able to cite the artist offhand, but all credits go out to him/her.
All picture files were resized to the original size came from the kitchen and given the original file names, as were the icons in the shellres.96.dll to save on space and to alleviate any potential issues.

hehe memory leaks come pretty much standard with winmo, I don't think it's as bad as it could be... Oxios works great for cleaning up the memory leak... perhaps I should include it in the next one.
Glad to see you back.
So what was the motive to use 28205?

Flash method
Hello Gonz0
Can this ROM be flashed using the Flash Center? I'm new to all of this and I'm not going to try to act like I know what I'm doing. I flashed my phone (Wing) once and was totally surprised when it worked. I want to try it again. Let me know. Thanks.
hehe yea, go for it man, it'll work with flash center; go for it...
Haven't tried the SD method myself with it coz I've only got SDHC... (8 GB oh no!!!)
Only reason I haven't made any of those slim roms with sick amounts of extra space is coz of that. Lousy flash center and your f*&#[email protected] 50MB limitation. If only knew more on hex-editing.
My bad I'm ranting there but to answer your question; yes.
I tried to use the flash center, but it wouldn't work. Is there another way to flash this ROM. Remember, I don't know anything and will need some instruction. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried running it as an administrator?
If so; your next best bet would be to do a hard SPL on your phone, info on that can be found here:
http://thewingster.com/Documents/How to HardSPL (Wing-Herald).pdf
After you do that, you can just run the RUU flasher with the ROM in the same folder and u will be good... no more flash center
Sorry for the late responses. Are you referring to administrator on the pc? If so then yes. The phone, then I wouldn't have a clue. Let me know, thanks.
Yep, run as admin on ur pc... don't worry about the lag, don't think XDA isn't going anywhere anytime soon
Thanks - great ROM
Hi,
Thanks for this ROM. The wing has been stable so far since I moved to this ROM. The only thing I dislike about the ROM is the childish start-button (yes, I know you hate the Windows logo there). Any way to change it to some other icon?
Keep developing.... Us "wingers" depend on cooks like you to have a "current" phone... Thank you!

hehe I feel yah the start button is a bit childish to some, now if you wanna change it here's the hoops youre going to have to jump through
grab your shellres.96.dll file from ur /windows folder and drop it on ur PC
I am going from pure memory here but you'll need to find an app to remove M$'s digital signature on the file B$. You'll want to head to the link below to grab the tools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432041
Once you have that, use a resource editor like reshack to crack open your .dll file, once in there just navigate the tree until you find the icon to replace. For the start button in particular you will want to ensure your image is 24x24 and in .ico format.
you can find reshack over here
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
Once you replace that image you'll want to re-sign the file. After that's done put the file back on ur fone; you may need to use total commander to drop the newly edited file back in your /windows folder.
Reboot and one of two things will happen, you'll have whatever siiiiiick icon you put wherevers, or your phone will catch fire... j/k hehe

Thanks for the guidance. The "your phone will catch fire" part has me worried. Any way, it looks like a lot of hoops to jump through. I'll pass on this one. The smiley it is for now!
One more update, the dialer is a hit-and-miss thing. When you tap numbers, it is supposed to match contacts that has those letters, like "Ann" if you type "2-6-6". Sometimes it pulls up the contacts, and some other times no! Trying to replace the dialer. Took "TPC's Customized Black Mega Phone Canvas" dialer from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547959 - and after a few reboots.. it works! Had to remove my SD card to get it to boot the first time after installing the CAB.

hehe NP on passing the info, I didn't pay for it so why should you? That Mega Phone Canvas dialer looks sick and I did kinda make my own skin for it, only reason why I didn't use that in my release was due to the lack of "landscape love". If anyone knows of a phone canvas that's landscape friendly let me know. Was just joking on the catching fire part, my bad on that. Although modifying system files can seem not for the squeamish although it's not as hard as you think... grab on and slam into it head first!
update: Dug deeper in that post and found something that is landscape friendly... I knew there was something like that out there SUHWEET! Good lookin out on the link unfunda, as for the contacts matter, my bad... I have a few more voodoo rituals to perform on this next ROM i'm working on... stay tuned ppl
I have been looking for widget/program that is dedicated to displaying amount of memory left on the phone & SD card.
I currently use MiniInfo, which is almost perfect... but I don't need or want the battery info on there. If someone came up with a simple program I would gladly donate.
All I am looking for is a widget (2x1) that will show available space on SD card and in the /data (i think that is where the programs are installed) directory.
It would be nice if it was setup like Extended Controls so you could pick your style or even pick what to display... /cache, /system, /data, SD card or specify a directory maybe.
I have tried about 5 different widgets for this and MiniInfo is as close as it gets. Maybe someone knows of a widget that will show me the info I want in a 2x1 (or close) form? Either way... if you know of a good widget toss it out there. If you want to build something up... I will buy you a couple beers.

Ok, can you take your clockwork backup of your current rom and turn it into a custom rom?
I looked at the clockwork backup files, and there are some .tar and so on, but my main question is can you take those files and make a custom rom out of it?
I know that generally .tar files are not really compressed, and you can use a program such as 7zip to look into, edit or even zip these files all together.
Forgive my ignorance on this subject. I do have a Oracle VMbox set up on my pc running the Ubuntu, and have made some changes to it there, and made many more customizations to the looks, such as
many different games and applications
changed theme (battery icon, color, and just about every other one you can think of)
changed bootanimation
changed downanamation
added transparent notification tab
and more......
you get the idea
Installed are quite a few paid aps and the like, so what I'm looking to do is make a rom that has all of these changes already added to it, so when I do a recovery, all I have to do is flash the Rom, and not go through a million things to get it the way that I want.
I do understand that thats what Rom manager is for, and all you have to do is go to clockwork, or use rom manager and restore, but I have friends that love all the customizations and the like that is on my phone, and a Rom would be the answer to giving them what I have.
I would also be interested in sharing what I have done (giving credit where it is due of course) and getting feedback from the more experienced.
If this is a crazy rant, that is hard to follow, please forgive this freekin country boy, my up-bringin waznt that good.
