Really fast, and stylish rom! If you don't have it already I will say one thing: Install it!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNice and quick rom but again no BT audio.
Any idea when this will be fixed as other 2.1 roms do support this (VillainRom 6)?
Thanks
interesting
ReplyDeleteit works for me :I
Yes this rom is very good and it fixed the few glitches of the last Rom. This has to be the best Rom because it is 2.1, it's very stable, it's fast and it looks great. Good job Stickman
ReplyDeleteI,ll try it today.. comming from senseHero 1.6 (android 1.5) still havn't found a rom that fast enough like this one.. (2.1 roms are much slower than 1.5)
ReplyDeleteAny of you guys know if I need to wipe my device?
It says if you're comming from previus versions of sense hero wipe is not required but even sensehero 1.6? or only sensehero with android 2.1?
A really great rom that gets faster and better looking with every release! Thanks to the developer
ReplyDeleteIs sms breaking fixed yet because that's the only reason i stopped using SenseHero even though it's my favourite! :(
ReplyDeleteDon´t work wifi? I must belive!
ReplyDeleteis It only my problem?
love Stickmans sense hero... but didn't see much differnce from b3 to b4
ReplyDeleteLivewallpapers still dont work unless I intall the lwp update from google code ( but then weather animations dont work so uninstalled the lwp)
I hope stickman does a brilliant job of froyo for us poor guys on htc hero love you man...
This has been been my first and only rom since I rooted and have no intentions of going to anohter rom or the offifial rom
@ Jose actually my wifi seems to have improved with this build compard to the last build 3
ReplyDeleteI had flashed my rom with the latest radio though last time 63.18.55.06ju_6.35.09.26
so you might as well try it the radio did improve my signal as well
Hi i really love you work but just one things make me change rom is the poor quality of the contact pictures could we have better pictures ?
ReplyDeleteany one have this problem ????
i don't have this on behero+ 1.2
Good work good thmes very fast
everything works well and the interface nravitsya.no not support Russian language
ReplyDelete@Omri
ReplyDeleteI totally agree : )
I was the same.
But give it a chance, and use Overclock widget from the market. It worths it ;)
I will :) Installing it now..
ReplyDeletedoes the cam work better then in b3?
ReplyDeleteis sms working properly?
ReplyDelete@Omri let me know what do you think!
ReplyDelete@Mark donno. it worked fine yesterday on the Tiesto concert C:
Just flash over the B3! (do nand before!!!)
@Liam I didn't try long sms. The other one works fine.
I get an error while flashing:
ReplyDeleteE:failure at line 391:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
installation aborted
I came from SenseHeroB3 and have a2sd installed...
@MJJ I had the same: also SenseHeroB3 and a2sd and the error. But after I rebooted, everything did work?
ReplyDeleteReaders,
ReplyDeleteI Cannot place a shortcut for settings after the update who got the same problem?
David
@diewom are you sure about that? The update script fails and does not get to the end... What about the rest of the script?
ReplyDelete@MJJ: I am not really sure but everything seemed to work. But now I did perform a wipe.
ReplyDeleteLuckily if you have a2sd all apps will be installed again.
But still English as my only Locale... does anyone have more languages?
Working Good, Some pictures in the gallery appear as corrupted thumbnails but open correctly open touch
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Very speedy and my wifi seems to work better than before.
ReplyDeleteHi people.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I said: My wifi dont work.
Sorry, I have total wipe and work correcly.
TAHNS FOR YOU HEL!!!
Got to say thx to stickman and the whole Hero to 2.1/2.2 community, without you guys we would be stuck waiting for HTC to never bring official updates, its amazing people like you provide us humble guys the stuff we want and you do it for nothing!
ReplyDeleteSimply brilliant and keep the good work up, many many thx.
What about support Hebrew fonts (a numbers issue), like in Villain 6.1.0? I'm really want to try your ROM, it's look very nice, but Hebrew fonts support it's only one thing that stop me.
ReplyDeleteHey guys. They rely on donations. If you like the ROMs, make a small donation. If you like it a lot, make a big one. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope this works... I'm installing my 1st Rom now :P ... *fingers crossed..
ReplyDeleteops.. I'm seeing the Sense Hero screen for like 5 minutes now.. and it's not starting yet.. :X
ReplyDelete@duval - just wait it out. 1st boot can take 10-15 minutes!
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then the phone takes 20 seconds to wake up. Waking it up with the phone button just switches on backlight but blank black screen stays like that for a while.
ReplyDeleteAny body else seeing this?
i have a wifi problem, it looks like it dont support all wifi channels, cause i can see some channels but not all. Els i love the rom, looks great, runs great and even smells great on my Hero :D
ReplyDeleteFramework file for Hebrew's font full support (the implementation of BiDi text rendering in the StaticLayout
ReplyDeletelevel) for SenseHERO-2.1 B3 http://rapidshare.com/files/390582811/framework.jar
latest update. This Rom is running greaT! the first startup is slow but after that 1st boot, its only <4mins to restart. Only thing is sometimes when it powers down to screensaver, and you restart it, there is a purplish hue. but pressing the button again is ok.
ReplyDeleteThe apps I have tested so far and working great.
-Wifi Tethering
-Exchange Mail
-Gmail
-Contacts
-Camera
-Market is great ( I finally get F1 Live Racing!)
-SkyFire (I used this instead of default browser)
-Maps
-google Voice search is amazing.
-Twitter is good
-basically all the stuff i need works!
and it's a fast rom
cheers! :P
Great job, but SH 2.1 B4 has only English dictionary and keyboard language :( I must revert to earlier version of SH ROM :( Is there any chance to get other languages in this great ROM?
ReplyDeleteGreat as ever. Few glitches, I've also experienced the purple hue thing on start. Dark screen also has come with this update. These were absent in the last. My personal feeling is that reversion back to phone being central in nav bar is inevitable as after all this is a phone and rest is secondary despite the 2.2. So if these persist then going back to b3.
ReplyDeleteI've also experienced slow wakeup and purple hue!B4 has a tendency to reactivate A2DP in Bluetooth but its not a real problem for me since I did a radio update (doesn't freeze up in "play A2DP & recieve call" scenario, when connected to my Parrot carkit anymore..). Other than that this is the reason I love my Hero again. Thanx Stickman!
ReplyDeleteHi guys, i've waited about 20 mins for it to boot? think there might be a problem? *still excited*
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance! =)
Hey Robert,first boot takes between 10-15mins. but you have hit new grounds at 20mins.. might need to take out the batt and try restarting again.
ReplyDeleteTried that several times, but nothing..then i did another wipe, and that sorted it.
ReplyDeleteIs there a problem with the data connection(over 3G/HSDPA)? I cant access it no matter what the settings say.
Already in love with it - but i need access to the market now :D
3G is fine for me but I am not sure my carrier is using HSDPA.. I can listen to internet radio.. is it your carrier?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure but it seems that SenseHero does not have other languages than English ??? Is it true ?
It seems a very great ROM but, if I can'h have French language (and keyboard), it is not possible to use...
Thank you.
David.
@Robert
ReplyDeleterestore a ROM where you had 3G/HSDPA and bachup APNs to sdcard, than restore SenseHERO 2.1 and restore APNs
Usually it helps me ; )
Sms still splits. I don't think we will ever have a CDMA port with fixed sms issue.
ReplyDelete@Robert...I'm running HSDPA, 3G, EDGE, GPRS and the anything else that will keep my Hero online without any issues. Heard some complains online regarding limitations on WIFI channels but I havent experienced any problems with WIFI either!
ReplyDeleteI think its the APN's - TY!!!! =)
ReplyDeletethis is the best rom i have! thank you stickman!
ReplyDeleteYeah so far, I am still keeping this wonderful ROM :P I noticed some severe lagging playing videos (around 700mb vid) with the default video player but I downloaded Meridian and used that, and it is ok now. Will we get Apps2SD soon? :P
ReplyDeleteWhen first installed the SenseHero screen stood there for 40 min. Wiped the phone, reinstalled SenseHero but now i get alot of "applications forced closed" when the phones boots. Why?
ReplyDeleteThis Rom needs multi language support and it'd be great!
ReplyDeleteHi is there a problem with htcdevscene.info stickmans forums> cant access it
ReplyDeleteand the purple hue is a problem after the b4 update, i guess its somtheing to do with the overclocked kernel
otherwise great rom

Hey Stickman/Jason,
ReplyDeletethanks for favoring us to writing here and letting us know what is in progress.
I can't wait the B5 ( :
Roland
Appreciate the good work.
ReplyDeleteI had a problem with not being able to change MMS settings, it seemed liked everything regarding APN on MMS was locked.
Fantastic roms, never had any better. It keeps getting better though.... Can't wait for the b5 based on the GSM port. Sure I will donate some. Where?
ReplyDeleteYour ROM is so good that I can even resist the temptation of flashing the newer rooted official ones. I know that when you do that it will be better and beautiful. just hoping that its done soon as the startup glitches are getting to me. You know the dark screen and purple hue thing. So are we expecting an official cooked or 2.2 from your kitchen? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCANT WAIT! :) how long until B5?
