  2. Hi,
    Nice 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

    ReplyDelete
  3. 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

  4. I,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)

    Any 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?

    ReplyDelete
  5. A really great rom that gets faster and better looking with every release! Thanks to the developer

  9. @ Jose actually my wifi seems to have improved with this build compard to the last build 3

    I 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

    E:failure at line 391:
    copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
    installation aborted

    I came from SenseHeroB3 and have a2sd installed...

    ReplyDelete
  18. @MJJ I had the same: also SenseHeroB3 and a2sd and the error. But after I rebooted, everything did work?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Readers,

    I Cannot place a shortcut for settings after the update who got the same problem?

    David

    ReplyDelete
  20. @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
  21. @MJJ: I am not really sure but everything seemed to work. But now I did perform a wipe.
    Luckily if you have a2sd all apps will be installed again.

    But still English as my only Locale... does anyone have more languages?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Working Good, Some pictures in the gallery appear as corrupted thumbnails but open correctly open touch

    ReplyDelete
  23. Looks great. Very speedy and my wifi seems to work better than before.

    ReplyDelete

  25. 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!

    Simply brilliant and keep the good work up, many many thx.

  26. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hey guys. They rely on donations. If you like the ROMs, make a small donation. If you like it a lot, make a big one. :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I hope this works... I'm installing my 1st Rom now :P ... *fingers crossed..

    ReplyDelete
  29. ops.. I'm seeing the Sense Hero screen for like 5 minutes now.. and it's not starting yet.. :X

    ReplyDelete
  30. @duval - just wait it out. 1st boot can take 10-15 minutes!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Every 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.
    Any body else seeing this?

    ReplyDelete
  32. 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

    ReplyDelete
  33. Framework file for Hebrew's font full support (the implementation of BiDi text rendering in the StaticLayout
    level) for SenseHERO-2.1 B3 http://rapidshare.com/files/390582811/framework.jar

    ReplyDelete
  34. 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.

    The 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

  35. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Great 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.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'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!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi guys, i've waited about 20 mins for it to boot? think there might be a problem? *still excited*
    Thanks in advance! =)

    ReplyDelete
  39. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Tried that several times, but nothing..then i did another wipe, and that sorted it.
    Is 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

    ReplyDelete
  41. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hello,

    I'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.

    ReplyDelete
  43. @Robert

    restore a ROM where you had 3G/HSDPA and bachup APNs to sdcard, than restore SenseHERO 2.1 and restore APNs
    Usually it helps me ; )

    ReplyDelete
  44. Sms still splits. I don't think we will ever have a CDMA port with fixed sms issue.

    ReplyDelete
  45. @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!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I think its the APN's - TY!!!! =)

    ReplyDelete
  47. this is the best rom i have! thank you stickman!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yeah 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

    ReplyDelete
  49. When 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?

    ReplyDelete
  50. This Rom needs multi language support and it'd be great!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi is there a problem with htcdevscene.info stickmans forums> cant access it

    and the purple hue is a problem after the b4 update, i guess its somtheing to do with the overclocked kernel

    otherwise great rom

  54. Hey Stickman/Jason,

    thanks for favoring us to writing here and letting us know what is in progress.
    I can't wait the B5 ( :

  55. Appreciate the good work.

    I had a problem with not being able to change MMS settings, it seemed liked everything regarding APN on MMS was locked.

    ReplyDelete
  56. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Your 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.

    ReplyDelete
  58. CANT WAIT! :) how long until B5?
