After doing my own work bringing the MoDaCo rom up to date with the Sprint MR, and a LOT of reading and researching, I'd like to start work on my own custom Hero rom. While speed and performance will be important factors I certainly want to maintain and/or improve functionality.
I have my own general vision for what I want to do, however I'd also like to get some community inputs on what you would like to see in a custom ROM.
If you can, please share 5 things you would like to see implemented. They can be features you've seen/liked from other roms or something you haven't seen done yet. I'm looking for some new ideas.
This ROM will be based on android 1.5 not messing with 1.6 or 2.0 until an official release is made by HTC/Sprint.
one great thing i would love to see included is a simplified task managment system. i am running task killer. but if it were possible to incorperate into the rom the ability to have a time limit on certin apps when not used that they would just stop.
The main thing that annoys me to no end right now would be to make predictive text allowable in all search forms, password forms and address boxes in browsers.
Would also love to see more functions from the locked screen like S2Unlock from WM. The ability to preview texts, emails and missed calls from the locked screen and either dismiss them or respond to them directly from the lock screen and have it open up the app that is needed like the SMS app/email app/Phone dialer after unlocking.
Edit: Oh and remove the vibrate from the dialer which Sprint added on the MR update. Why would they add this with no way to turn it off? SOME people DO wanna try and save their battery life ya know?? Stupid.
Something other than a minimally-modified stock ROM.

So both of you want applications for the most part, that's not a rom, that's something you can suggest in te developer section.
As far as something I'd like to see in a rom... A modified Kernel with SetCPU support would be wonderful
The ability to rotate the home screen to landscape mode, please.

Maybe the second request is more of a software request but he did say "anything". However, the second one I believe is more ROM related as there seems to be something in the ROM that does not want to allow predictive text in certain forms.

Agreed.
I posted this in Modaco's thread and I'll post it here too. Email from Mike, dev for SetCPU:
There is a feature in the Sprint HTC Hero's kernel that prevents SetCPU from working. It likes to constantly set the CPU speed itself, and SetCPU can't override the kernel itself. From analyzing the source, I believe this is fixable. Are you using a custom ROM? If so, try asking your ROM developer to compile a kernel without the "PERFLOCK" feature in the kernel off. Because I don't have a Hero myself to test, I can't verify that this will work.
I don't know if the setcpu idea would work well with the cdma hero, one of the times I've wifi tethered I witnessed an overheat LED warning, thought nothing of it until I checked my battery info, which was pretty much beyond egg cooking temperatures, phone then force rebooted without warning... Not sure if that has to do with things inside the Kernal like mentioned, but it seems like overclocking the cpu might just fry it quickly with the hero, underclocking could be a different story though..
Also.. It's hard for me to say because I'm very interested to see what HTC will be bringing to the plate with Sense 2.0, but I wouldn't mind more interchangable/ custom themes, or modifications to the look and feel to Sense itself, or like what was said above, something more than just a tweaked version of stock. Landscape home screens would also be a nice addition to the Hero, I often attempt this when tired, wouldn't mind it actually working for me.

the rotating home screen would be neat to show off
going to look into portrait mode in sense ui since i'm curious in seeing how it works too. any more ideas?
Do you think there is any way to optimize the htc_ime.apk? I hate getting keyboard lags when typing a text. That is the only thing about this phone that I could say that I hate.
Also don't want to beat a dead horse, but I wonder if there is any way to get the new maps to work with 1.5. Coming from the Dream forum, I know that they got it working on 1.6 (before it was released to 1.6) by tricking the app into thinking that 1.6 was actually 2.0. I'm not sure exactly how this was done but from what I remember, it didn't sound extremely difficult.
Then again, I'm not a dev so I don't know what it would entail.
Don't know if this is more of an app or what, but how about a way to change the frame colors from grey to one of serveral colors.
How about this, for the browser make it so I can type something into the address bar and if doesn't have a .com at the end of it. It then will give a Google search. Kinda of odd its not already like that it would keep googles numbers way high
The keyboard Lag would be great to fix and the rotating screen would make this phone even better than what it is. How about finding a way to increase the internal memory we start with. I don't know if that is possible but it sure would be nice to be able to have more to start with. I use Apps2Sd but still lose memory when I install apps. I am still real confused about this, but I am about 20 meg better than I was before I used Apps2Sd. I saw a video from unlockr.com where he was setting up apps2sd on a G1 and when he finished it showed the added memory from the ext3 partition in the Sd card and internal memory area in settings. he went from about 45 meg to over 500 meg after he finished setting it up.
please no hideous blue themes or annoying boot sounds
Is the ability to choose which apps open (or don't open) on startup something that can be incorporated into a rom?

i would love to see the time limit thing, and maybe an automatic reboot function, and maybe a recovery system IN the Phones GUI not in its own Partition or whatever.
As more developers are now releasing Sense 3.5 roms I thought it best to share some issues I had with DSPManager on these roms and what I did to get it working properly.
1. If DSPManager gets quiet when ticking the checkbox for "bass boost" or get really loud and tingy when selecting "virtual room" this is an indication that the application library or "lib" isn't functioning properly to produce the correct output.
2. If DSPManager does not seem to affect audio in any way when selecting it's various enhancements this, obviously, is also a sign of the app not functioning properly.
I'm an audio enthusiast so DSPManager working on my rom was a must. My attempts to "fix" DSPManager were great and over a long period of time. Some devs out there have supposed "fixes" for it and some devs don't really care about the app because they don't use it. My method will limit your ability to use enhancements from with HTC music player so if you're not willing to lose that ability in exchange for DSPManager working instead do not try this method. The various libraries "libs" in the system/lib/soundfx folder seem to conflict with DSPManager so what you need to do is delete each one of these.
The libs will be some or all of the following:
libbeats.so
libbundlewrapper.so
libreverbwrapper.so
libsrsfx.so
libvisualizer.so
The DSPManager lib that you DO NEED TO KEEP there is libcyanogen-dsp.so
You need to use root explorer or any other file explorer capable of root access to browse to system/lib/sounfx. Once you've deleted the conflicting libs you need to reboot the phone. Once the phone restarts you need to adjust the audio settings in DSPManager after you've begun playing music to notice the change. Attempting to select enhancements from within HTC music player from this point on will either give a message of "Enhancements not available" or a Force close dialog although the music will not stop playing you will simply be returned to your home screen. At this point you can now use DSPManager for each output currently in use whether it be phone speaker, headphone or bluetooth. Remember some roms will have a higher bass output just by themselves without using DSPManager so be sure if the bass seems super loud on low settings after installing to set your equalizer lower than normal for bass so as not to damage any equipment you may have attached to it.
For those of you running a sense 3.5 rom without the DSPManager lib "libcyanogen-dsp.so" I will attach it in this thread and you can follow the steps outlined. You need to unzip the .SO file from the .ZIP and place into system/lib/soundfx and set permissions to rw-r--r--
Cool! I rather have dsp manager than beats anyway. Thanks

I guess you never checked my rom
you can use all htc music equalizer options and on top of that sound output from equalizer can be deeper adjusted with dsp.

Aye, DSP manager and HD video are the reason I use your ROM as my daily ...and yeah, DSP Manager sh*ts all over Beats for me (though I'm using beats earphone), a must have tweak for my Evo.
Thanks for this thread. Bookmarked in case I flash a different 3.5 rom
ok ok
the fix is to move dsp lib from soundfx folder to lib folder.
thats it.Simple as 1,2,3
Just do not enable beats effect.It doesnt work properly anyway
That's seems legit of course I never would've thought to try to move the lib. I did notice your rom had a fix for it. At one point I had HTC equalizer and DSP working but thats kind of overload to me. Maybe I'll try it out though.
nice work..

Hello xlxcrossing! I've just come across your thread and I must say I find it very interesting. I first used DSP Manager in Cyanogenmod 7.1 and as it turns out, Bass Boost would get quiet and Virtual Room would get really loud (and awesome, according to my taste), like you point in Case 1.
I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 and it is a completely different experience. I think DSP is working "right", according to what you say in the OP. However, I think I liked it better when the Virtual Room setting would completely change the sound. Do you know what libs I should change in order to achieve the effect you point out in Case 1?
Thanks in advance!

If you want the virtual room setting to sound hollow and tingy then don't change any libs just leave things as they are. Install whatever rom you want and DSPManager and you're good to go. If you are using headphones as appose to a bluetooth car stereo as I do then you will probably not notice the sound as being distorted as much. Hope that answered your question.
Fantastic, I only wish I saw this thread sooner. I pretty much stick with MikG because the dsp works so well on it. This opens up my options for a daily driver.

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.
I don't really wish to change ROMs right now... I'm very happy with Cyanogenmod 7.2. Also, I made a mistake explaining myself. I was using a Sense 3.5 ROM (not CM7.1) when I came across your Case 1. Do you know which libs I should change in CM7.2 in order to make it sound like the time I had Sense 3.5 installed? I've tried changing the libs myself, but so far CM7.2 won't boot whenever I put the Sense 3.5 libs in /system/lib. Hope you can clear this mess up for me because I'm very confused .
Best regards.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not changing the entire /system/lib folder. I'm just changing:
libaudio.so
libaudioeffect_jni.so
libaudioflinger.so
libaudiopolicy.so

The process I outlined is for Sense 3.5 roms only...although it may work in other Sense roms as well but I have not tested. Cyanogen is an AOSP rom meaning stock android only. Those libs you listed in your edit are not present in the file system folder I specified and wouldn't be tampered with for this particular process. You should be able to find a thread on CM w/DSP.
I want to choose one so i am not running 2 that do such similar things. Thanks for any guidence. I already paid 5 for rom toolbox so i am leaning towards using that.
Depends what you want to do with them. NSTools has options to enable/disable BLN, BLD, easier voltage control and support for deepidle. ROM Toolbox has overclocking features, but also a trigger manager, icon replacement, rom manager, root browser, ad blocker and so on.
Personally i run them side-by-side, configuring OC by NSTools when i try. Havn't had any conflicts.
Also, neither use any battery after you've used them. They simply read/edit files each time you open the app, then close down completely.
Thanks but arent both of those battery hogs? I thought i would pick one so both progfams are not running
Neither are battery hogs, they're just text editors with a GUI. Battery life will change when you overclock or undervolt, this is what you control with the two apps. They just edit some values in some system files to tell android how to manage the CPU and other hardware, android takes care of it all from then. The app is just an easy way to change these values.
Thanks so much for your responses! I will use both. I really appreciate your help
I've never encountered any major battery consumption from nstools. It is a very light program that does what you tell it to, then stays quiet.
'Sup everyone, Lime here.
I'm working on a custom stock ROM based off of the 1.55.531.1 update and was wondering what sort of things you didn't like from the stock ROM. This will be my first ROM I've worked on, and I'm making a custom stock ROM to learn my way around Android.
What I've done:
- Hidden Kidzone to the depths of the earth
- Hid the redundant Camcorder icon
- Unhid all of the default HTC applications
- Deodexed for theming purposes
- New boot animation (Nexus One's boot animation, mostly because I think it looks cool and is simple)
- Changed the default layout of the homescreens (the clock's on the default screen, like it is on most other versions of Sense)
- Added bash, nano, sysro/sysrw
What I plan on doing:
- Removing a lot of the mostly unused apps
- De-pinking the icons
- Remapping the Genius Button to search
- Changing the launcher to have 7 homescreens instead of 5
- Enabling CRT Animations
- Modifying the MyTouch Power Control's brightness control to 11/55/100 instead of 40/60/100
What else would you like to see?
EDIT:
Things I want to make happen:
- Extended Power Menu
- Extended Quick Settings
- DEATH TO T-MOBILE APPS (Debloat)
- Less useless battery icon in the notification bar
- CRT Animations
- GPU Acceleration
- Rosie mods (7 homescreens)
- Port the stock Sense lockscreen to MT4GS
- romann's Tweaks
Things that users want:
- AOSP apps
Things I can't really do:
- OC/UV Kernel (source is for 1.28.531.9 so a kernel is out of the question unless it happens to be compatible with 1.55.531.1 [will test soon])
Perhaps an extended power menu, and a built-in screenshot function ? those are some things stock is missing.
To be honest, I haven't used any stock ROM in ages. But I'm sure we could make a stock ROM look nice with some theming.
You may also want to remove themes that people don't use, there's a couple themes that come with the Stock ROM.
Also have the option of the
-aosp music player
-Aosp gallery.
-Extended power menu
-All T-Mobile bloat removed too.

- We'll see about the AOSP applications, I'm rather fond of having a unified interface (all AOSP, all Sense, or all MIUI if you get what I'm saying), but I'll see if I think it's worth the time to add it in.
- Power Menu acknowledged, as I said earlier. It's very useful.
- I'm removing everything and likely putting My Account in as a flashable zip with a new icon. It's actually somewhat useful compared to trying to use their website, in my opinion. The icon is a joke though.

- I'm definitely keeping wifi calling in because I need it to use my phone over in middle-of-nowhere-college-town.
- Yeah, I definitely want to figure out how to put a number overlay on top of the battery marker similar to how CM7 does it. It's amazingly useful. That being said, I am going to add in the HTC Battery widget by default because I think it's great at what it does and doesn't look half bad.
- I'll see about trying to add in Tweaks, because I know you can get rid of the notification bar with them.
- SetCPU is not allowed to be packaged in with a ROM. You can get it here for free though.

- I will try flashing Blue's kernel and seeing if it is compatible with the 1.55.531.1 base after I have more time (i.e after finals). Unfortunately, the kernel source for 1.55.531.1 has not been released yet(?).
I've been looking into theming lately, it seems quite complex and time consuming but hopefully I can help you make some themes. Let me know when you're near done building the ROM.
Also, I guess we can worry about the kernel after we have a nice working ROM.

FYI, when it comes to "GPU acceleration", there seems to be a misunderstanding among some amateur developers. Do you really think HTC would not utilize the GPU abilities that the processor has? By default, all of the GPU acceleration allowed by the Gingerbread operating system is already ON. There is a switch available in the build.prop that only turns on GPU acceleration when in debug mode. When the operating system is run in debug mode, the default is to have GPU acceleration off, this switch will force it on. But in normal operation, GPU acceleration is always on.
ICS enables the use of the GPU for much more than Gingerbread. When we finally get ICS for this phone, it will use the built in GPU much more.
Now, as to your ROM. Why not include Bloater so the user can choose what he/she wants to remove. For instance, I like and use the Genius features, so I would not want that removed. But other things, like Netflix, Group Messaging, etc. I have no use for, so I remove those using Bloater. I'm currently using the DS_MOD_1.55.531.3 ROM and it runs very well. There are certain tweaks (like extended quick settings) I would like.

Yep - listen to what was said here. Gingerbread uses hardware acceleration for a lot of what happens on the screen already - it's always been a weighing of how many cycles it takes with or without, so Gingerbread was inefficient when it came to using the GPU for some things.
ICS has been a while in coming, and has been improved to take advantage of much more integration of the GPU and making you have to weigh less choices between using the GPU or not.
That all being said, there is an issue with either the hardware for the GPU, the TV-out function itself, or most likely the part where it down-converts the HDMI signal to analog to pass it over the RCA connection (most likely) that causes the skipping for some video when output to TV.
We were doing a study on that a bit ago, I don't want to derail your thread with it but you mentioned looking into the GPU so here's what you should be looking into about it. We can keep your thread here on topic by sending people to this thread for discussion on that one:

I think, and it is just my opinion after reading several things about this issue, is that the way the TV-OUT is really just mirroring the screen, so essentially it is driving two screens and, as you say, downconverting the signal at the same time. That's just too much overhead for the GPU and thus the stuttering. Maybe if we had an MHL instead of just the TV-OUT it would be better, it wouldn't have to drive two screens at once. Given that the Sensation has essentially the same chipset, and it has MHL, I wonder if it is just that we don't have the driver/library files for the MHL in our ROM? I would guess you've probably investigated that, though. Also, has anyone tried the DLNA properties available? This device does support DLNA but I've not seen anyone utilize it for anything.
OOPS, sorry, didn't mean to derail

Hey bravo users, I was just browsing through LifeHacker and I found an article about Pimp my ROM. Taken from the XDA post, "Pimp my Rom is an aroma-installer based script that will allow you to choose between a plethora of nice tweaks, mods, apps, themes and features to add to your current rom." Here's the xda post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269. I'd tell more you about it but I would do a poor job, so just visit the post.
It apparently works with the Defy roms, so it might work with bravo roms as well. I guess I could try it and let you all know if it works. If I do install it, I will edit this post with my results.
Edit: it installed fine, and the tweaks I added work great too! I should mention that I'm using skeevy420's cm7 kang. I recommend it.
some people were reporting that the text on the aroma installer was hard to read. did you encounter that at all?

Nope, the text was just fine. One caveat is that you had to use the volume buttons and power button for selecting everything, but that was no problem.
On another note, I ticked the tweak for faster wifi connecting, and it seems to be working. I also ticked the "faster app loads" tweak and I think it's working, but it's hard to tell since cm7 is already lightning fast. I think the "higher jpg image quality" tweak is working too.
I've been using my phone for about 7 hours today and I've noticed no problems so far. I'd like to know the results from running PmR on JB or ICS, just so we can be sure that it works 100% on Bravo. I might do that later on my PA and ICS nands. Happy tweaking!

weird, I didn't have to use physical buttons.
I'm on Quarx's 9/12 cm10. These are the tweaks I selected:
-better battery consumption
-better jpg image quality
-better camera recording quality
-battery savings
-faster scrolling
-better touch responsiveness
-reduce dialing time
-misc 3g tweaks
-deeper sleep
-smoother online video streaming
-faster wifi connect/disconnect
Everything is pretty responsive, may be just placebo, but hey it works on JB :good:
I tried using it with skeevy420's miui pikachu port and my phone wouldn't boot. It's possible that I selected settings that conflicted with the miui aroma installation settings. I don't recommend using PmR on Miui.

did you use version 2.1.1? The OP said it was faulty.

No I used PmR 2.0, which works fine on cm7.

Hey bravo users, I was just browsing through LifeHacker and I found an article about Pimp my ROM.

Which one did you use? HDIP or MDIP?

I used hdpi for my cm7 and cm10. It also worked with PA.
For Miui, I think I forgot to 2nd boot miui properly before I used PmR and that may have had something to do with it. I will try it out tonight to see if rebooting immediately aftet installation will provide the solution.
*edit
I've been using miui for a few days now without installing PmR. I still have no clue what the issue was, but I'm very happy with skeevy420's miui pikachu port without PmR. I suggest you try it if you haven't.
Pimp my Rom is very nice my GPS and scrolling much better:thumbup:

I've been messing around with PmR for the past few days and its great, for the most part. Not everything is compatible, one of the options breaks wifi, and some of the default values it uses aren't the most optimized for the Bravo. Also found a bug with its dns tweak -- it forgot to put a # in the build.prop before its name.
I'm trying out the "high" settings for multitasking, and I think I need to go one step below on those options -- a bit of lag occurred that medium didn't have. Medium worked better with V6 as well. The GPU tweaks don't matter since our CM7 is already fully hw accelerated and the GPU frequencies can't be scaled (yet, kernel limitation). Also noticed some of the sqlite tweaks don't work as expected (tons of errors in the boot logs).
On a side note, I'd rather CM7 have the custom kernel instead of CM10.

Do you recall which tweak caused the wifi issue?

No, I'm gonna try and figure it out today. I applied every PmR tweak that I didn't think would break the system; apparently one did :silly:.
UPDATE
The wifi issue is from the tweak Connect and Disconnect Faster; delete the line "ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=1000" from the build.prop to fix it.
