Hey guys,
I modded JAC's Hero ROM to work without rosie/htc sense. Before you ask: This is for those people who are not into the new user interface, but want the better browser with flash support. I did some other changes as well.
Here is what I changed:
-removed Rosie and it's widgets
-removed HTC Twitter
-removed HTC Stocks
-removed HTC Weather
-added launcher.apk
-changed hardware keyboard layout to qwertz (german)
This build is by far more usable than with rosie, as it doesn't suffer the known lags.
Using swapper is not necessary.
Update 10.07.09:
Now based on 2.5 slow sd:

Download link for old version:
http://rapidshare.com/files/252749840/JACHero_2.33_without_rosie_mic_fixed_qwertz.zip
If you need a qwerty layout download and unzip the following file and use the included qwerty.bat:
http://rapidshare.com/files/254297215/qwerty.zip
Does it still include exchange sync, facebook integration, twitter/flickr integration, etc.?
maarvellous. just what i'm looking for. going to take an age to download though for some reason
can i assume that all the facebook and album stuff is still there?
i bloody love this. admittedly i've only had it going for about 20 mins but it is super fast. and not super fast like the normal hero roms are (as in not very fast) but proper fast. the htc apps seem instant to me. I haven't finished trying them all but i have noticed that Stocks does not work.
I denied and uninstalled swapper when it first started up as it doesn't seem to be needed for this build (and I've already broken one card), i haven't actually put apps2sd yet and have 34mb available
thanks djvw, just what i was looking for.
could you just let me know what i need to do with the qwerty keyboard thing to install?
Double post
Is the known sms issue fixed??
Ive removed rosie from jac and drizzys hero but i still have the same problem on both......
So just wana know if someone has tested and confirmed sms/mms is working, thanks.
No idea. It's late here so i havent received one but i would have thought that if you'd already tried a build with rosie removed then this would be the same. Unless somehow memory shortage is causing the sms issue.
Better browse? The Flash hardly seems worth it. Besides the visual bookmarking, I'd say the old browser is better. I get some serious lag with this browser. I wish there was a way to disable the flash in settings. I don't need flash banner ads

Its got the htc browser from the more recent builds. Haven't tried flash yet but it fires up straight away which I wasn't always getting on the rosie builds

I agree about the flash, and you can disable javascript in settings, but i think the hero browser is slightly faster than the old one. And visual bookmarks is a plus.....
and yea i think the memory issue is def the main factor behind the problem...
looking forward to trying this out. how do i revert back to the qwerty keyboard layout using terminal?
I'm assuming just copy trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin to the sd card
then type:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
exit
Is this correct?
Just what I was looking for, thanks a lot, my phone is booting
Edit: The best G1 Rom Ever !!! Thanks a lot, very good job !! HTC Stock Force Closed but I don't need it ...
Does wifi work?? And can we use lucid's new app on this rom?? I know with the fatality hero rom I couldnt.
where are the htc widgets
hey i cant find the htc widgets like bookmarks and stuff like that ne help be appreciated

Download and unzip JAChero rom and pull it from there and copy them to the root of your sdcard and install them using astro file manager.

there not on this rom coz they need rosie, and rosie is removed from this rom
Does this still require the new SPL or is the removal of Rosie enough to free up space for older SPL ?
finally
Finally some smart people listening to me.. not saying that yall others arent smart! but u know what i mean, i havent used 2.3.3 im still using 2.2.1 without rosie, what is the real difference im trying to make a decision to flash as of now but... if its not broke dont fix it aye?! Also my texting has always wworked i recieve every text EVERY text but the times sometime are a little they text me in like the future and sometimes they text me in the past i cant explain it its weird. and YES, we still have facebook integration twitter everything.. its pretty sexy if u ask me with only 3 pages which is all u need and u still have the black bar. this is the best rom ive ever had ever havent changed since wow. no lag mines runs like ion plus, haha i got 27mb of internal storage without partition... wow this is crazy and everything is here. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES SPEED AND STABILITY... On a scale from 1 to 10... its 9.. cuz of bluetooth and weird text.. but i rm alll the htc stuff from rosie and swapper and all that i dont get the point/need of swapper? if anyone is interested in telling me
Yes, it requires the new SPL
So how do you revert the Qwerty back to english with the supplied .bat file. Und wieso must es eigentlich Deutch sein? Ich mags viel lieber auf English. I also dont understand the whole Sense UI thing.....sure it looks great but I also dont care for it. I just want the integrated Facebook and other good usefull apps. And if anyone is still having any kind of SMS issue then please say something cause I just prefer not to flash and take my chances. But it looks like I will just stick around and wait for an actual stable ROM with no major kinks. And good job to the uploader. Schoenen Abend noch und vielen dank!!

Ok, I've been trying out a lot of Hero ROMS and I'm always disappointed in the speed, or lack thereof. Each time I have found myself flashing back to a stable Hero build and then customizing it to my liking (see below). This release is mainly for my own sanity, to save myself the time and effort of getting back to a setup I prefer.
For clarification purposes, I will be referring to these builds as PhotonMod_Hero1 and PhotonMod_Hero1.5
Just understand that v1 is based on LeakDroid's SuperHero3 build and v1.5 is based on JACHero 2.63.
**UPDATE 7/15/09**
As requested, Re-upped PhotonMod_Hero v1 without the Asian IME (pinyinIME.apk). Just be sure to choose English on the first screen of the setup wizard.
PhotonMod_Hero v1:http://www.mediafire.com/?l3inmmtmjzz
NOTE: If you have random Asian characters showing up in odd places, power off the phone and turn it back on. This seems to only happen before the first reboot.
(Reminder, this one does not use AppsToSD. It is basically SuperHeroV3-MAS minus Rosie and all HTC widgets. Also minus swap. and with a few other teaks.)
Also,
Here is "Lite" version of PhotonMod_Hero1.5. I removed the Weather app and widget, and Retro Clock widget.
PhotonMod_Hero v1.5:http://www.mediafire.com/?nyhyfzzyiom
****UPDATE 7/14/09****
Bluetooth is NOT working in any Hero build at this time
New Build release: PhotonMod_Hero v1.5 - Lite
Based on JACHero2.63 with the following changes:
**Changelog - PhotonMod_Hero1.5 - Lite**
-Removed ALL HTC Widgets
-Replaced HTCCamera with one that works (No sideways image)
-Replaced HtcMusic with old Music app from non-Hero builds (b/c that one is a resource hog!)
-Replaced Rosie with standard Launcher
-Removed Teeter.apk/odex, Stocks.apk/odex, DCS_Stocks.apk/odex
-Removed (commented) Swap partition section in a2sd.sh as I want to try this build out without a Swap partition.
-Added section in a2sd.sh to move a "wallpaper" folder to the FAT32 partition on your SD. That folder contains the wallpapers from the Rosie wallpaper gallery (See Below)
-Added AppsInstaller
-Added Custom Lock Screen
-Added a few "Gems" to the Ringtones/Notifications
To use AppsToSD, make sure you have your SD card setup with Fat32/Ext3 partitions. You will not need a third Linux-Swap partion with this build.
To use new Wallpapers, at the Home screen, press Menu -> Wallpaper. Then choose Albums. You should see a wallpaper folder containing 5 wallpapers.
Thanks to JesusFreke, Haykuro, JAC, Cyanogen, L3wish and the Leakdroid crew, Meltus, and all the other great Devs working to give us the experience we want from our phones.
Rename to update.zip and flash as usual.
you really need to try jac 2.63 with a freshly formatted card and a linux/swap partition. its quite a thrill
Can u put some pics
might give this a try on my other g1...just for fun
i want som pics plzzz !!! and some comments of the one who flashed this .
Fully Functional?
As in Bluetooth working?
Why in the world do you need pics...its hero, duh.
And I have to agree, even 2.63 is quite slow (swapper and a2sd)...I might have to try this one out (though I heard SHv3 had many things not working...).
Thanks for the contribution anyway .
@Shaquiel Harris, NO BT works as of yet. JAC is getting close I guess but NO HERO BUILD HAS BT YET!
Working on taking some screenies for you guys...
be posting in a few...
hmm seems interesting.
wonder how this one works.

Here you see I have changed the background to one I liked from another build. I also have installed the Retro Clock widget, Weather Channel widget, and a few apps (AndroZip, Last.fm, and I really can't remember which else). Right now I currently have about 10MB free (not running apps from SD)
I don't see the bluetooth is working? What do you mean "fully functional"? is the led work, too !?

Ok, I just tried Bluetooth for the first time and it does not turn on. This was my mistake. I do not use it and did not ever try it. I may grab JACHero latest build and mod it the same way (if bluetooth does work in that build) if anyone really wants it. Personally, I never needed it.
As for the LED, as with most Hero builds currently out, the LED does not work. If someone can point to one that does, let me know.
not feeling the "ophone" icons.
but everything else seems legit.
but really isn't fully "functional" due to the fact there is no "rosie" which makes up pretty much the entire experience of "Hero" but good job regardless!

This is true, but every time I try to use Rosie I definitely do NOT have a fully functional phone.
I suppose I should say Fully Usable (once I get BT working anyway)

Well why would he say fully functional when indeed it isnt? and 2.63 is slow for you because your using swapper. Your supposed to make a linux swap partition and have a fat 32/ext2/3 and linux swap. 2.63 is the fastest and most reliable rom that has been made so far And well this is the rom i will stay with. I dont need bluetooth because well i dont use it kinda want LED's Though But besides that.

No,
and I can't say I've notice that on other builds I've tried. Is there somewhere you've see that? It may be part of the new MMS app (which many people are having reliability issues / not getting messages)

I have updated my original post that BT is not working. As for speed of JACHero 2.63, I'll give it a whirl now that I can easily get back to this ROM.
But I've heard "Really Fast" about a lot of ROMS running Rosie/SensUI, and have not yet been convinced by any of those claims.
This thread is for anyone that wants a more customized rom.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will take any rom released on xda for the dream and customize it to ur liking.
If you don't want the msg/mail widgets or a song played during the boot of ur hero rom I will do that as well.
I won't theme a rom for you nor will i create a rom from scratch, i will only modify it to ur liking.
If this sounds like something that you would want just contact me via twitter or email when you know what you want.
Message me the apps you dont want or apps you want added to the rom.
Twitter - follow me on twitter and post a tweet so i can read it when im not at my computer. Thanks.
Gmail - [email protected]
If this isn't the right spot for this thread mod's please move it, I'm just trying to make things easier for the more noobish people in this forum.
Update: There is a rom at the bottom of this page with some specs if you want to try it.
Thanks and happy flashing.
Well, I guess that's a nice thing to do. Thanks for sharing. Although, I would be interested in a nice tutorial on how to take a ROM off XDA and modify it by removing/adding components... Lemme know if you can help.
Thanks again for your helping intentions!
Long live Android and the community
yea, actually being able to compile a full rom pack for fresh regular wipes complete with apps and whatnot would be killer. I'm sure there's a guide to compiling your own package somewhere though. This totally is the dev department =P Check the huge list of q&a
I'm just want people who get frustrated easily to be able to have the same benefits as the rest of us. You just tell me the rom you want, we'll chat for a little and i'll tell you what apps i can take out and you can ask me to add some apps into the rom..if you want a theme i can help you pick the best one for you and other things along those lines. I already have a few requests and I'm going to sleep now but I will try and get you guys ur roms as soon as I possibly can.
I could use (a lot of people who do embedded systems stuff could use, actually) a cupcake rom with the serial port enabled, TTYMSM2. This would allow hooking up th Dream to a number of devices (Including a sonar if you want to do the Dark Knight scanner thing ).
Ideally it should have variable baud rate but if thats not an option, a lot of stuff (DGPS, sonars...) still runs at 9600 baud.
So would it be possible to get Ion with the htc dialer and htc mail app(exchange)?
I have a few requests that i will be getting to tonight. I will try my best to get them done in speedy orderly fashion.

Can I get a maxisma v2 rogers rom with rosie? I can wait haha I'm just busting your balls! Lol
i would just like a how to on making a lock screen
This is an update from drizzy that i modified a bit for a friend..
-for weather or flip clock use the android widget
-no mail/sms widgets
-updated onscreen keyboard just have to enable it.settings->Locale & Text-> Disable Touch Input
-Some extra games you can delete them from Settings->Applications->manage applications
-other fixes that seem to make it quicker.
-don't overclock, enjoy.
Update.zip
idc what rom it's running on (i'm on cyan 3.9.1 i believe), i just want the camera from wherever you can get it from that has the "store location in photo/pictures" option.
this would be a dream come true. lol
i looked for an app that offered it but seen nothing. =/
pictures store on ur sd card in DCIM/100 Media and wont go anywhere as long as you don't format ur fat32 partition..im not sure where else you would want them to be stored though.

I think he means one that embeds the current GPS data into the image.
So, when he takes a picture it will embed the data of *where* the picture was taken.
Ide like to see some of the hero widgets, like photo album, and the large calendar, and the twitter widget, work on the JACxHERO v1.3 rom
That would be pretty cool, Just all the HERO widgets in general work on the JACxHERO 1.3 build
that would be cool
Background phone
Is there a way to get the background of the contacts, fav, ect.. To black with white fonts. I'm running JacXHero 1.1 with themed palm-hero V3r2.
Thanks
P.S also how can I get TouchPal to work it always gives me an error.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. Thanx Nedlinin, I guess I phrased it wrong. Lol
Acutally, if it's easier, you can maybe point out a tutorial or tell me how I could pull out the camera apk from 1 rom and install it in another.... (?_?)

Yeah thats possible, i'll work on that when i get back from vacation..I'll take care of you. To get touchpal to work u just have to have touchpal the only one checked. Then ur set, no errors.
is it possible to customize a fast lag free rom and have it look like the hero.....i like the way the text messages and icons look also like the dialer and the menu.....but hero is so slow sometimes.....thx...
let me get Drizzy's NewVision_2.8 with bluetooth and paid apps working, or Drizzy's NewVision v3r2 with bluetooth and the keyboard working.
i would like a rom that when installed would add 96mb of RAM, would give me the ability to fly as well as to teleport. also i would like it to include a notification ringtone sampling the episode of the boondocks where ed and rummy try to kidnap oprah and ed says "*****es love smiley faces."
just kidding though the last would be cool lol.
but seriously though you are doing a great service for the community. keep up the great work and don't lose your patience.

I don't know why everyone keeps asking for videos because unless there is a huge graphical difference (ie themes or change in the likescreen, statusbar, rosie, etc) then it's going to be the same as any other Hero rom out there.
In regards to speed and stability, that's mostly up to you the user. You configure the user.conf to your liking and use whatever apps you want. The more apps you have installed and more widgets you have on your screen the slower and more unstable your phone is. Also the speed of your sdcard could have a factor in it as well. Other factors could be included as well but the bottom line is that most Hero roms are identical to eachother and pretty much work the same way. Any obvious differences that are easily noticed visually is mostly themed.
I say backup what you have with nandroid/bart/switchrom/whatever and try it. Coming from JacHeroSki2.2, I'm noticing that this hasn't given me a single reboot and seems much more stable. But it's pointless to make a video of it because it looks the same. But... if someone would like to indulge us in a video of an MLIGN rom (which will be obsolete after every update by the way) than go for it! It's just my opinion that it's a waste of time.

The reason why i do videos is to show the improvements from the previous ROM.. Other people can then compare then if one of my ROMs suck and its BC of APK editing then i know to not use them.. I'm just trying to show them what is in store for them when i release it.

MLIGN-HEROV2.5.7 looks preety fast bro, cant wait to test it out. oh and i love the video it actually shows you the rom before you try to it out, sure beats some screen shots lol. well keep up the good work bro
Glad you started a new thread. the other turned into a kindergarten fight on muscle relaxers
Didnt go to 2.5.5, but Im updating to this now because ive had trouble with gps.
Keep it up man. About now, your one of the only ones left here I have any respect for..... no matter what it is you do with your roms.
Looks like 2.5.7 is gonna be the fastest build ever

I hope not. Ive seen nothing good come of the ram hack on G1's. The phone is only meant to use a set amount of ram, and all it does it become extremely unstable when added. My experience with the ram hack i get nothing but reoots from phone going to sleep and even just sitting the home button.

well i think he was talking abt recording a video abt his new rom that has the 10mb ram hack in his last thread but idk if this one has it. we have to wait till he releases it n the changelog to see.......
hmmm i got a problem.. i dont get missed call notification on 2.5.5
...Never mind it works now.. it wasnt last night.
And to whoever was askin about the LED's they do work just download the missed call app.
Request/Suggestion
On the next and upcoming versions, could you change the gmail icon? It would be easier for those of us who use two email addresses. In my case, I like to glance at the notification bar to see if I have gmail email aka my business email, but now I can't tell because the HTC mail and gmail notification icons are the same. Thanks bud.

Right on... I've noticed this as well.
Btw, can anyone post the default wallpaper (green leaves), or tell me what file the wallpapers are located in? I didn't see a Launcher.apk...
Edit: Also @MLIGN, will v2.5.7 have LED support? Not sure if you were planning on integrating the build.prop from Maxisma or not... AFAIK, there're no LEDs on v2.5.5, right?

Wrong 2.5.5 has fully working LED notifications and no more heroLED.
Any1 else get fc with touch input I get it way too often and track ball is kinda weird jumps around way too much.

On the next and upcoming versions, could you change the gmail icon? It would be easier for those of us who use two email addresses. In my case, I like to glance at the notification bar to see if I have gmail email aka my business email, but now I can't tell because the HTC mail and gmail notification icons are the same. Thanks bud.

fabioccoelho All works fine? Included Cam?
bluetooth and cam reported not working....
still its the BEST eclair 2.1 sense so far.. will dump everything else and start with this one...bluetooth will be fixed and cam drivers have been hacked "stolen" allthoe its still not included... i belive withind 1 week or 2 the camera drivers will be public
thanks for the port. will try.
works a lot better than previous expresso build, but still not ready for general use ;-)
what I've seen:
Email doesn't work: keeps on FC (showstopper for me)
caller application has issues
sync works
people work
thx, for the port, this will be a sweet rom once it works correctly
Pretty good rom and port. A lot of things still needs to be working before I will consider using this daily. First of all, the default messaging application is not able to find contacts when using the "to" field. You are however still able to send, you just need to use the people application. Google Sky does not work either, and I suspect a couple of others not working either.
Other than that it works pretty good. Some of the animations are VERY clunky while others are very smooth. Window prompt popups are very slow while scrolling etc. is very fast.
I look forward to trying this rom out when it's more usable. The camera drivers should also be out next week.
Thanks for the port
Hi, the rom seems to work pretty well, but definitely isn't ready for every-day use yet. Some nice new features (e.g. enhanced clock), and I really like the new lockscreen and the new homescreen makes more sense - Always bothered me how the menu launcher was so much smaller that the phone one, when there are so many ways of launching the dialer, and I use the menu much more anyway.
Shame about the bubbles, I guess...
[Edit] You don't need to worry about formatting the memory card, btw.
This is fantastic news!!! Looking forward to try this ROM when it gets updated!!!
- CyberQ
Great rom. Looking forward to any updates.
Can't get a USB connection on this rom though (No HTC synch, No memory card mounting on PC)
flashed this rom without sd partition.. nice work..
cant wait for cam and BT drivers
I thought the bubbles signified... glass enclosures... oh well, by the looks of it, it looks really nice. But I'm sure people will be surfing this thread looking for the words "general use = OK" and head to the download.
Hello again.
I couldent help my self, had to try it even when i knew that it has a lot of FC's
But i must say, this ROM is really...REALLY nice!!! It has great potential, and the eyecandy never stops, im really looking forward to this!
Is it possible to add some more IME launguage's? I would really love to see Danish for the HTC keyboard
Too bad that the original phone app doesnt work yet
Just to help others before they choose to install
On my device following things doesnt work:
Market - Wont get connection
People search - Has a wierd bug where the letters dissapears
People - Is really slow
Sense - Will often force close if you have the big calendar
Phone - Force close on number press
Messaging - Cant choose contacts in "to:"
Email - Loops a force close when try to open
Mount USB - wont connect
Cam - no drivers yet
Bluetooth - no drivers yet
Teeter - Force close No G-sensor drivers installed
Generally performance issues with a lot of lag
What works:
Tether
Wifi
Mobile networks
Browser
Google Maps
Phone (Partly)
What i could wish for :
Danish IME for the keyboard
Danish locale
Hope this helps to answer a lot of questions from you all.
Kindly regards from Thomas.
Yes, this ROM need some work .. but it is damn fine ROM.
Looks really nice
Hoping this is to be the UI for HTC Bravo
Really like the scene modes, where you have diffrent desktops for different uses.
Thanks for your effort
Slick rom excited about new updates. This will be great once it's refined. Thanks for the hard work guys.
It's been a long minute since I posted one of these thingies. It's been like what, 6 months? Hehe I've been lagging on the new builds, sorry folks for not making a manilla release of my earlier work... my bad. The new kitchen ivanmmj put out is pretty chill and that's what I used to cook this bad boy up. As usual, it's RUU friendly.
20.18 MB RAM
36.95 MB storage
Build 28205... If anyone knows of a cleaner build, lemme know
Apps included
Xtask - mapped to the button that used to be the comm manager for easy task switching
Opera Mini 5 [not the beta] with Jbed
Nice for certain folks to get to crackin on TCPMP again, always loved that app and now it's leaner, meaner, and skinned hehe thanks bimbam69
Total Commander
Arcsoft MMS 5.2.8.45
XDA Shutdown
I decided to theme this bad boy fingerkb got upgraded to Swype, this one's pimpin Xpressyourcell's dusk blue skin scaled down to qvga, and for kicks n giggles I preloaded the dictionary with some basic swear words, so you can be cussing like a sailor right from the get go!
JWMD Icon Changer is also here as well, it has dZenkinZ icon set loaded on there, my bad for forgetting the start menu selection, that was from another theme.
I modified my shellres.96.dll file and ripped out the icons from tacchan23's dusk taskbar, and someone's android taskbar (I can't remember for the life of me it was a whiles ago), resized some and replaced just a couple.
This is also using DJ Cedric Blue Carbon titanium replacement, plus some of the icons were thrown into my shellres.96.dll
Oh yea... the start button is also a bit different, I don't like the M$ logo, what can I say?
I finally got how to proprely set a default theme upon cooking and this one is using lyapa's Azenisll theme. It's pretty sick in my book. I did some slight touching up on a couple of icons within it.
The lockscreen is skinned grzegorz10's dusk lock screen.
Still using the old school 8 button touch comm manager from my previous build, but I threw in some color, same dialer as before, nothing new there.
The boot screen does not lampoon the "president" of the United States any more. The welcomehead96 is filled with such evil I cannot describe it here but you can view the thumbnail below. I'll say it once and I'll say it again, Steve Jobs is a **** and the animated splash screen shows Apple what I think of their products. My bad for not being able to cite the artist offhand, but all credits go out to him/her.
All picture files were resized to the original size came from the kitchen and given the original file names, as were the icons in the shellres.96.dll to save on space and to alleviate any potential issues.

hehe memory leaks come pretty much standard with winmo, I don't think it's as bad as it could be... Oxios works great for cleaning up the memory leak... perhaps I should include it in the next one.
Glad to see you back.
So what was the motive to use 28205?

Well, it's not perfect but oh well. If anyone got any info to help plug up memory leaks hit me up in this thread or PM me.
I recommend using 28232.
Can you guide me to Splash Screens with any other images? Thanks!

I got JWMD Icon Changer cooked into this thing, u can find it under the "Apps" folder in the start menu... there's a little dealy that will allow you to change up
Flash method
Hello Gonz0
Can this ROM be flashed using the Flash Center? I'm new to all of this and I'm not going to try to act like I know what I'm doing. I flashed my phone (Wing) once and was totally surprised when it worked. I want to try it again. Let me know. Thanks.
hehe yea, go for it man, it'll work with flash center; go for it...
Haven't tried the SD method myself with it coz I've only got SDHC... (8 GB oh no!!!)
Only reason I haven't made any of those slim roms with sick amounts of extra space is coz of that. Lousy flash center and your f*&#[email protected] 50MB limitation. If only knew more on hex-editing.
My bad I'm ranting there but to answer your question; yes.
I tried to use the flash center, but it wouldn't work. Is there another way to flash this ROM. Remember, I don't know anything and will need some instruction. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried running it as an administrator?
If so; your next best bet would be to do a hard SPL on your phone, info on that can be found here:
http://thewingster.com/Documents/How to HardSPL (Wing-Herald).pdf
After you do that, you can just run the RUU flasher with the ROM in the same folder and u will be good... no more flash center
Sorry for the late responses. Are you referring to administrator on the pc? If so then yes. The phone, then I wouldn't have a clue. Let me know, thanks.
Yep, run as admin on ur pc... don't worry about the lag, don't think XDA isn't going anywhere anytime soon
Thanks - great ROM
Hi,
Thanks for this ROM. The wing has been stable so far since I moved to this ROM. The only thing I dislike about the ROM is the childish start-button (yes, I know you hate the Windows logo there). Any way to change it to some other icon?
Keep developing.... Us "wingers" depend on cooks like you to have a "current" phone... Thank you!

hehe I feel yah the start button is a bit childish to some, now if you wanna change it here's the hoops youre going to have to jump through
grab your shellres.96.dll file from ur /windows folder and drop it on ur PC
I am going from pure memory here but you'll need to find an app to remove M$'s digital signature on the file B$. You'll want to head to the link below to grab the tools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432041
Once you have that, use a resource editor like reshack to crack open your .dll file, once in there just navigate the tree until you find the icon to replace. For the start button in particular you will want to ensure your image is 24x24 and in .ico format.
you can find reshack over here
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
Once you replace that image you'll want to re-sign the file. After that's done put the file back on ur fone; you may need to use total commander to drop the newly edited file back in your /windows folder.
Reboot and one of two things will happen, you'll have whatever siiiiiick icon you put wherevers, or your phone will catch fire... j/k hehe

Thanks for the guidance. The "your phone will catch fire" part has me worried. Any way, it looks like a lot of hoops to jump through. I'll pass on this one. The smiley it is for now!
One more update, the dialer is a hit-and-miss thing. When you tap numbers, it is supposed to match contacts that has those letters, like "Ann" if you type "2-6-6". Sometimes it pulls up the contacts, and some other times no! Trying to replace the dialer. Took "TPC's Customized Black Mega Phone Canvas" dialer from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547959 - and after a few reboots.. it works! Had to remove my SD card to get it to boot the first time after installing the CAB.

hehe NP on passing the info, I didn't pay for it so why should you? That Mega Phone Canvas dialer looks sick and I did kinda make my own skin for it, only reason why I didn't use that in my release was due to the lack of "landscape love". If anyone knows of a phone canvas that's landscape friendly let me know. Was just joking on the catching fire part, my bad on that. Although modifying system files can seem not for the squeamish although it's not as hard as you think... grab on and slam into it head first!
update: Dug deeper in that post and found something that is landscape friendly... I knew there was something like that out there SUHWEET! Good lookin out on the link unfunda, as for the contacts matter, my bad... I have a few more voodoo rituals to perform on this next ROM i'm working on... stay tuned ppl
