I've been running the Illuminance 3.0 rom on my Galaxy S for quite some time but I'm having some really irritating problems and I can't seem to find a solution.
Bar none, the most irritating problem is that the phone, contacts and messaging apps are constantly crashing for no reason.
Anyway, I just downloaded Handicent to use for messaging so I don't have to deal with the glitchy turd of a stock program.
Does ANYONE know how to change the links in the bottom bar? I just want a handicent link there instead of the stock program.
Thanks
It's official. This ROM is a steaming piece of ****. can't believe I've ran it for a long as I have.

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 tried searching for this and come back with no results or results that I cannot follow, so I was wondering if someone could put this in plain english for me. I want the people app on a fully functioning ROM, and cannot seem to find any available for a 32b. The ones I have tried that work natively (wi-fi, bluetooth etc) have the home screen loading problem and a lot of force closes, and the ones without the loading etc have problems with wi-fi etc. The only real reason for wanting the Sense UI is the people app, as I can have a slight Sense mod with enoch's theme for cyanogen, but the people app is what I would really like, for the facebook functionality. Is there anyway of getting this into a useable ROM? Thanks
Anyone have any ideas?
its completly dependent on the SENSEUI framework, it wont work on anythitng but sense roms...sorry...
Ah I figured that would be the case. What about the taiwanese SenseUI update for the Magic. Any chance of porting the framework for that or just having the bits necessary to run the People app?
no because its still a sense build. lol. there are some 2.0 roms out there though if you are rooted. 2.0 has auto facebook integration with your contacts as well
Thanks for the heads up, yeah I am rooted, rocking CM at the moment.
yeah try some 2.0 roms i know there are like 3 or 4 floating around, arent 100 percent stable and you cannot use your camera on them though..
Firstly for those thinking, "just get DarchDroid! It's already AOSP," I would first like to explore this option. I like Sense UI, just hate the lag associated with certain Sense apps and would at least like to try the AOSP versions before completely switching to a new ROM.
I did some searching, but couldn't find any sure apk's that will work on a CDMA Hero. The closest I found was some working for the EVO 4G (here), but I don't want to risk it not working on the Hero.
Is it possible for someone to pull some apk's from DarchDroid ROM and have them work on Sense-based ROMs?
Suppose there are working apk's, will they replace or coexist with the HTC apps?
Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this was already done.
Edit: found some apk's!
Edit 2: apparently I suck at searching; there was another thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667715#7 but at least my thread has the DeskClock.apk
I feel your pain, or at least I did. I liked sense but hated all the lag such as the lag when scrolling threw contacts and SMS. All those little small areas where it would lag drove me crazy. I tried installing the apks from darchdroid but it didn't work so I searched it up. Got the same results as you. I had no choice but to go with darchdroid but I am more than satisfied now. Throw launcherpro on it and you wont regret it. AOSP is like a simplified less flashy version and I love it. I hope some one has a real answer for you though because I'm curious myself. Good luck.
Oh. If you do end up trying darchdroid, try out gomorrah's blackmod theme for it. It's sick.
Well, I managed to find the AOSP messaging app when I wasn't even looking for it! Go figure. It was in a thread talking about keyboard lag. Some claim that for texting, using AOSP messaging app has much less keyboard lag than the HTC messaging app. For those curious, it's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6309233&postcount=6
Oh and it looks like it replaces the HTC messaging app; they cannot coexist.
Edit: It also occurred to me that flipz included the AOSP alarm as part of his AOSP lock screen fix!
Much less lag. The messaging app is the only one that worked when I tried replacing them though. The phone and contacts apps were giving problems. I didn't know what to do so I just went with darchdroid. If you like sense, maybe there is a way to add it to an AOSP ROM. Maybe you can just try installing the HTC Sense launcher apk on darch's ROM.
Just to start off the problem I am having is prevalent in all 2.1 stock sense hero roms. There is so much keyboard lag in the sense messaging app that it is pretty much useless. You really can't type the way you want too. Considering I use my phone pretty much for text messaging and music, this has destroyed my opinion of the phone. Sprint was so excited about this phone and gave up on it within 7 months. Considering all contracts last for 2 years (if you want the good upgrade prices), don't you think it would be the ethical thing to do to keep a phone updated for at least that duration. This is a $500 dollar phone that can't text message correctly.
Alright after my ranting now down to the problem. I feel like the #/160 character counter right above the send button is the issue causing the terrible keyboard lag. I rarely do texts over 160 characters so I really don't need this. I remember back in the day of my touch diamond, there was an .xml mod you could do to eliminate the character counter which sped up the texting perfectly. I have no idea how to go through all the .xml's and .pngs of the apks but I figured someone in here could help. Basically I want the character counter to be removed to see if this is the problem. I do have only prediction on, no vibrate or sound, and it still lags out of control. It happens on every sense rom I've tried (and trust me I've tried them all). This does not happen in any of the AOSP based roms such as Cyanogen and Aospmod with the stock android Mms.apk, where there is no character counter. I tried pushing that to my phone an I like it but it just doesn't match up with the rest of the sense, plus it doesn't have the message counter option on the icon which i really like. I pretty much came to this conclusion when i used both of Zen's ports, Aria and MT3G, and I had absolutely no lag when texting. Both roms have different framework i understand which doesn't allow me to push either of the MMs.apk's from either of these roms to my hero stock 2.1. I am using IcedHoneyBun with Zens' any rom Kernel right now but it happened in NfinitiFX's rom too. ONCE AGAIN I NEVER USE VIBRATE OR SOUND so please don't mention that as a fix.
I am posting the Mms.apk below. If somebody can help me I would be glad to donate.
you might want to post this on android central, Beezy420 build icedhoneybun, and he might be able to fix it for you. Although i blieve hes mostly developing for EVO now, he is still around. Post in his honeybun thread.

I know beezy built it but it has nothing to do with the rom. It has everything to do with the stock sense Mms.apk. More hero users use xda than any other site thats why i posted it here.
I *highly* doubt that a simple character counter is causing the delay. First of all, that only makes sense if the keyboard is *completely* lag-free in all other "known-good" apps.
Handcent's text messaging app also has a character count... have you tried that app?
Can you type without any lag in a basic notepad application? Make sure you have all of the same auto-correction and spelling options enabled.
HTC MMS is laggy as hell!!! This isn't "the fix" but it should help somewhat. Turn off ur notifications and auto-retrieve in stock MMS then go into your stock app manager under settings~~>manage apps and force stop Messaging. Now download either Handcent or Chomp from the market cuz they r pretty much the same. Then remove the stock messaging shortcut from your desktop if u have one just so it's outta your way. A good portion of the lag should be gone. Clocking ur cpu higher if u use a clockable kernel will help reduce keyboard lag too.

I mean my keyboard is lag free in any other application except ones that require per letter searching such as google search. I just feel like getting rid of the character counter would help a great deal just because you are absorbing a but of memory after ever letter you type. I really don't know what is the cause. I don't like chomp or handcent i've tried them both. Not as much lag but there is still some lag. I just wanted to see if this was the problem and then go from there.
I would love for someone to pull the counter out of the HTC mms app. I will also gladly donate.
...still willing to donate...
Not possible. I'm using a GSM port of the Legend 2.1 build, and there is no 160 count at all, and it runs no better/worse than the older one. (The only reason it loads faster is because I'm using Zen's Any Kernel)
anything is possible and we wont know until it happens

Except, this doesn't make much sense. MMaybe I haven't used a CDMA ROM in a while, but I distinctly remember the HTC Messaging app always being a bit sluggish.
You should try swype its great and quick as hell! =]
Has nothing to do with what you are saying. My brother has a Droid Eris with the same messaging app and its flawless. Maybe ours will get fixed in the update rolling out

Is there anyway I can install the stock android browser touchwiz edition from the Galaxy S onto my Droid X? I was using my friends T-Mobile Galaxy S and really loved the browser interface vs the stock one on my Droid, so I thought since that is just a skinned/modified stock browser that it would not be that much work to install on a rooted device? Any help would be cool. Thanks a biz.
Somebody please?
Anybody please?
Please anyone can help me here?
Yeah, I would like this for the MT4G. I like the text input on the Samsung Vibrant's browser better. It brings up an actual window to type into.
anyone please?
I will donate 3 bucks to see this happen.
It's most likely not possible due to all TouchWiz apps actually needing... Well, TouchWiz. It's very deeply rooted in the system and is (was, it's a lot better since 2.2.1) a real slow pain in the ass.
So unless someone ports the whole TouchWiz over to the DX (it's not going to happen, the DX and D2 both have locked bootloaders, you can't replace the kernel), this won't work.
So, even though it just a skin and a small adjustment on the stock browser it won't work on my device because it requires touchwiz? Same goes for the HTC browser which is stock also but with better navigation controls?
I'm not sure about the Sense Browser, but I am pretty sure Sense is more than just as skin as well, just as TouchWiz (altho it works a lot better). So yeah, either the whole thing is ported (which is basically impossible) or nothing.
On a sidenote, you might want to check out the Opera Mobile (not Mini) Browser. It can't do flash as of now but it's in the works. Other than that, it has all the features the Galaxy S stock browser has and runs very smooth. It also opens up a new panel upon text input, which is really handy.
Yeah but it wastes a bit more space and speed isn't as good as the stock. I just want the stock browser with a back button in the menu bar. Hitting the softkey back to go to the previous page can be annoying if it backs you out of the browser by mistake.
anyone please?

Repeatedly asking for it won't make it more possible.
No but bumping a thread could bring it back up for a budding developer to take on the task and try it.
