Cool - congrats for 1st custom :)

Did the most of the things manually - and have no idea what the deodex thing is.

I would be in mood to help you - but I'm no dev so I can't help. Didn't even know where to begin..

Differnt kernel with OC and "smartass - gov" [this govenor from erasmuxx works on hero perfect: performance and good battery] would be nice. But no idea how to deal with freq-tables.. :(

Wishlist ;)
CM-parts - with possibility to change lockscreen
(but I think it's not possible with the htc2.3.3 cause it'S made for aosp)

this is a little update to my progress so far...

i found out that there seems to be a problem with some keys i used to sign that ROM.
i could´t install googlemaps, flash and the HTC widgets from market/HTC Hub without signing them with the key i used in my ROM.

workaround:

- try to download the apps from market/HTC Hub
- if installation fails look into the /cache partition, there are the downloaded apk files
- copy them to sdcard
- use zipigner 2 to resign the apk´s with "test-keys"
- install the apk´s with filemanager

or resign them on you PC/Mac with your prefered tool, like kitchen or something and install them via adb.

so if you have that problem too just download the app "zipsigner 2" from android market.

i allready fixed that issue on the upcomming first update to my ROM, but this will take some little time more cause i can´t finish everything because i had to work a lot at the moment and i want and have to use my smartphone as a smartphone on working days. need something that is safe and solid, hope you understand that ;-)

No... My Rom is signed with test-keys... Not with the official HTC keys.
That's a big difference.

S-On users have no possibility to flash my Rom until there is a way to root it and get custom recovery running.

quick update:

just added the new google talk app with voice and video call support which comes with android 2.3.4 to the nexus devices.

it works very well from phone to phone, but have problems to the browser plugin for gmail. but i think thats related to my macbook. google wrote in the documentation that there are problems with the buildin isight cam.

so if you know somebody who uses a nexus s or nexus one or any other device running 2.3.4 (like CM7.1) or 2.3.3 (most custom rom´s like CM7) and has a front face cam you can do very good video calls with it.

will be added in the update for the ROM which i hope to get finished this week

regards

this issue is already fixed in my build ;-) but i will have no time the next days to repack everything for an update. sorry :-( job is eating most of my time actually.

but you can use the "workaround" i wrote on the 1. page. this will let you install googlemaps and flash.

hope that will work for you.

    I'd like an update too. LBC hasn't posted anything in months, but his profile shows he came online today ;) This was my first custom ROM ever, so i'll always remember this.

    hi firends,

    yeah it´s right... i didn´t post here for quite a long time... time runs out for this project... sadly... sorry for didn´t say it so clear the last month...

    to explain some things... there was a planed update to 0.7.0 it was nearly done, but proxuser was first with the custom rom of the official htc desire s rom. i did not want to release it, cause it was as nearly a 100% copy with same tweaks and stuff... so i focused on family and job.... proxuser did a great job to keep this original rom in that forum... thanks to him

    i wolud like to make a new custom rom, but for what... we have everything here. sense 3.5 roms, android 4.0.3 roms, cm9, miui... i´m not the hardcore dev who can make such things... my roms where only tweaked offical roms with some little things i could manage myself...

    the stuff which is now default in custom sense roms can´t be handle from my point of knowledge... i like this stuff very much, but i´m not as good as lowveld who made my favorite desire s rom with [ROM][23 JAN 12][Endymion V3.4|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][kernel V2.1|ControlCenter] which is the rom i use for myself since my own one wasn´t up to date. i like it very much and made some special things with it... mostly UI and framework modding. i think it´s not enough to post it here. it´s more customising than developing of his rom and i don´t what to be declared as copy-paster of roms.

    perhaps i will change my hardware too... the htc on x or htc one s looks very nice for me... but i don´t know right know... it would be great to see some of you guys there... perhaps this would be a revival for a new small custom rom...

    hope you alle enjoy what we know have here... and it´s very nice to here from you, that it was your first custom rom you ever tried... as some of you perhaps remember... it was the first custom rom for desire s and for me too :D

    which you all the best....


    regards

    stephan

    p.s. of course i´m daily online to see whats going on here ;)
