MOD: De-fresh 1.0 | Updated
Well I like to think that the little things that we try here in fresh rom are what make it unique. Sometimes those things don’t work… and it seems I’ve run in to a couple of those with fresh 1.0.
I added in a totally clear lock screen and put a transparent “lock” image over the screen. I put in all my release notes that I agree it was kind of ugly but it was a proof of concept. Well a lot of people can’t stand it. Ha.
I also put the freshhhhh boot up sound back in. Partially because I like it and it’s a bit of a trademark, and partially just because.
But again… I know that it upsets people.
Thirdly, with the approval of tsowen I ported over one of his taskbars. This issue is about 50/50 right now on whether people like it or not. But in order to set the lock screen back I also had to kill most of the taskbar.
Applying this patch will do the following:
- Remove the “lock” image from the lock screen and puts it back to the standard half-arc. It maintains the clear wallpaper though. You should now be able to apply whatever lock screen you like including evil or clear as a bell.
- Remove the freshhh boot sound
- Remove the taskbar
Right now I’m not providing a way to only do 1 and 3, or only do 3 or whatever. It’s all or nothing.
Ok…. fine! Ha.
DOWNLOAD: http://link.geekfor.me/defresh10 – This will remove all 3 items above
DOWNLOAD: http://link.geekfor.me/delock10 – This will only remove the full screen “lock” image but keeps everything else.
Apply as a normal update.zip.

Too funny. Thanks for the great roms and very speedy turn arounds. I will change back the lockscreen, particularly since you weren’t all to fond of it yourself, but keep the boot up and taskbars as those are your influences and deserve to be in there as this is YOUR ROM.
Many thanks, yet again.

There is a nice app in the market that helps solve the issue by using your light sensor as a proximity sensor. I actually almost included it in this release but didn’t have a chance to test it and I wasn’t going to put someone elses work in my rom that I couldn’t test. http://www.androlib.com/android.application.tomreay-proxsensor-xnxi.aspx
The HTC Hero doesn’t have a proximity sensor at all, so that never worked.

@all
But just an FYI I have a lot more planned for customization on this rom. Meaning you will be able to tweak it to how you want. Keep an eye out for future releases.
I’m currently on vacation so I can’t respond to everyone.
@magick72
The battery icon itself is not off. The problem is that our phone only supports 20% increments in the taskbar. So the only options are 100,80,60,40,20,10,0. I left the actual numbers in the battery icon for now in hopes that I could modify the framework to allow it to show smaller % increments. But for now, those are the only ones you’ll see.

flipz,
This is really just amazing. On my third day of Rooted/Rom’d Hero and yours is the Rom I chose. Everything is swift and smooth, I really appreciate all your effort.
Just wanted to mention a couple things I noticed, whether you address them or not is completely to you, I am not complaining, just offering observatino in the chance that it helps.
I use Lock 2.0 (paid app) and 50% of the time the “Hero” lock screen is not able to be overidden. Reboot usually corrects this.
With Tsowen taskbar, sometimes I am connected to Wifi but do not receive emblem on the bar.
Weatherbug/weatherbug Elite widget does not display properly, unless removed and added again.
Also had a couple (maximum) of FCs with Hero system processes, I can’t recall specifically but one was Android, another was Providers, and I think the last one was …crap I can’t remember.
Anyway, thanks again, this is freakin awesome!
**My Proximity Sensor App IS working, and working well.
One side Item, for anyone… With the ability to have the clear lockscreen, I can’t figure out how to remove the image I previously had assigned while not rooted. Thoughts/suggestions?

Flipz,
Incredible ROM. Your work has made me love my Hero.
Your boot screen is wonderful. Keep the “Fressshhhhh” no matter what, its your ROM. It should have your mark somewhere.
Keep up the amazing work.

This is exactly what I needed to make this my ROM of choice. Although I certainly believe you should release a version of your ROM that has neat visual tweaks and changes, please try and make sure to include ways to remove the changes, for those of us who prefer under-the-hood changes above anything else! Thanks!

Hello and thanks for the speedy Fresh Rom. I love the lock screen and the “trademark” fresh sound and bootscreen, but the task bar is a tad hard to read for me. I would keep the lock and your boot sound and screen for sure thats what makes your rom unique. Keep up the good work!!

Keep an eye out for the pre-kitchen. It should be here within about 24 hours. It will allow you to customize it a lot more.
