This rom was made to fill the gap between the MCR 1.1, obelisk 1.3, and fresh 1.1 roms. I had trouble upgrading to the unofficial 1.3 from the MCR 1.1 and I didn't not like the visual changes in the fresh rom. I was just making this for me personally but figured some of you guy might appreciate it.
I have optimized via PNG shrinking, zipaligning, and bloatware removal in this rom as much as I believe is necessary. This rom has been personally tested by me to flash over the stock 1.56.651.2, Fresh 1.0 and 1.1, unofficial MoDaCo 1.3a, and MoDaCo 2.0 without wiping. Warning: flashing from Fresh 1.1 and 1.0 may leave some of the fresh files on your phone aka you may notice stuff is still "fresh".
Last but not least, always do I nandroid backup before you install this rom or any addon. I take no responsibility for any damage done to your phone.

Espresso TTG: It's a mashup of espresso blue rosie with black framework files. It also includes the animations and espresso lockscreen.
The animations came from the Gutted Hero rom by chuckhriczko. Espresso blue theme came from Fresh 1.1 rom, and I cleaned it up. I did not create either of these effects or the espresso themes. The full themes come from ratcoms themes plus my own additional work for cdma icons. Mostly everything is ported and repackaged.

I have not tested any of these. I am simply providing them for a centralized location for theme/lock screens so you may customize your Hero your way. Always do a nandroid backup before flashing any theme or lock screen. Any feedback on which do and don't work so I can edit the list accordingly is welcome. Also note installing any of these may reduce my optimizations for performance.
FAQQ: What version of Android is this ROM?
A: This is Android 1.5 aka Cupcake.
Q: Do I need to do a wipe before installing?
A: No. Enjoy switching roms without loosing any apps or data.
Q: Can I use GCK or MCK with this ROM?
A: Yes. Both work fine.
Q: I'm having problems downloading apps from the Market; what do I do?
A: Sign into Gtalk. Apparently the two are closely related even though you'd never guess. For an in-depth discussion head over to this thread.
Q: How do I get back an app that you removed?
A: If whatever reason you want back some silly stock app, I recommend you use flipzmode's pre-kitchen.
Q: There are still apps in this rom I don't want; How do I remove them?
A: Head on over to How remove apps thread for detailed instructions.
Q: Certain websites don't load properly or at all! Help?
A: Download the hosts.zip file; unzip it and read instructions.
Q: What is this whole Apps2SD thing about?
A: Apps2SD is a script that will do exactly as it implies so you are no longer limited to your phone's internal storage. You only need to format your SD card as FAT+ext2. Once that requirement is met, the rest will be automatic. Warning: Formatting your SD card will erase ALL of the data on it. If you want to keep it, make a backup.

TTG, nice to see another rom for the CDMA Hero. I'll give it a spin when I get home.
Bit of a newbie question here. I am just starting to play with Roms, had Fresh 1.1 on it and took a back up.
Wiped then tried out Eclair 2.1 and took a backup.
Now to put this on, should I reflash back to recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img before applying?
Flashes seamlessly over fresh 1.1. stable, fast ROM. Nicely done!
and I would definitely motion for an Expresso build.
What do the bouncy menu and screen transition add-ons do or look like? I can't find any information on them.

The bouncy menu, simply makes the menu icons have a bounce when they pop on the screen (after you hit the menu hardware button). The screen transition I'm not sure but my guess is that it is the zoom in/out effect when transitioning between screens.
@theresthatguy
I can't wait to try out this rom, simply because I was not a fan of the espresso changes implemented in fresh 1.1. But the speed was great!
Did you also remove the HtcLocationService like the fresh 1.1 rom? I'm kinda hoping it's in yours because I never had a major issue with slow down, at least not a noticeable one.

Apparently this flashes perfectly from Fresh 1.1, so I would recommend you be running that rom or stock. Definitely do not try to flash over an Eclair rom.

The bouncy menu is anytime you press the menu button for ... menus it kind of bounces. There's really not much more to it than that. Do a nandroid backup, try it, don't like then do a restore.
The screen transitions are zoom-in/zoom-out like mentioned above.

I like the espresso rosie but I'm not a fan of the espresso status icons. Which is they this rom is stock looking so people can have a fast rom to customize themselves.
I have included it the HtcLocationService in this rom because I haven't had any major issues either, and removing stuff is easy enough that if you don't want it you can do it yourself.

Maybe you could help me with this? I am looking into theme making for the first time today and signing zips in Windows as well. I did pretty much everything in Ubuntu for this rom and doing rom building in Win7 seems alien.

Stock lock screen. Lock screen is no indication of software version. This rom is based off of the latest stock 1.56.651.2 provided by Sprint.

I would be more than happy to. The only problem is I fried BOTH my Windows computers this week...I've got the parts ordered for a new desktop, but that won't be. built for a couple days. Until then I'm stuck in Ubuntu, and I don't like Gimp.
Once I'm up and running all ill need are the files from a stock expresso build and I should be able to do it.
Liking the ROM, reminds me of the stock Rom just much faster..... been running this all afternoon .... but flashed back to fresh since the stock Rom is boring looking now,

I don't know. This isn't fresh rom.
Flashed over Fresh 1.0 without a wipe, but me in a boot loop, I gave it 20 minutes.
Booted back into recovery, did a factory wipe. reflashed this one, boots back in 3 minutes.
So far it works, seems snappy. But I am still torn, I really like Fresh. I didn't like the new rosie or icons so I went back to 1.0.
I think to get what I want I am going to have to cook my own.
I wiped my phone and installed this ROM, and it wouldn't let me download things from the Market. Should that be normal? Maybe I am missing something or doing something wrong? >.>
I wanna try this so bad I love those transitions but I have to wait until 3pm CST I guess for mediafire and Rapidshare says its overloaded...its 2:15 the wait is killing me lol
edit: lmao just realized fresh rom has the same transitions , oh well still want stock notifications and lockscreen so the wait continues lol
I have decided to look at some of the home replacements instead of running senseUI. I have searched and read about aHome, OpenHome, GDE, DXTop, and PandaHome. After looking I realized that I don't use any of the HTC Widgets other than bookmarks so that is not a loss for me. In many of the posts about the replacements people mentioned lagginess on all of them except GDE. Most of those were older posts so I was wondering from those who are running the most current version of these replacements, do they still lag when moving from screen to screen. I also saw that PandaHome can use the themes and icons that were made for OpenHome or aHome. Can GDE do this as well?
GDE is still the best. It has been my everyday Home for about 1 month now and I have no complaints. I have tried Panda and aHome and and both did lag on my Hero. GDE on the other hand is just as quick as SenseUI if not faster.
I do not believe it is possible to use OpenHome or aHome themes with GDE. I just tried a couple and could not select them in GDE (maybe if they were in GDE directory, didn't try that..). There are many nice themes available for GDE though. My favorite is obsidian. Here is a modified version of obsidian I am running on my phone now (icons changed with bettercut).
Gde's the best,i think...been running it for a couple weeks now.runs smoooooth..n phone looks super slick..ill try gettin screen shots

How do i delete rosie?n how much of an improvement will i see?...hook it up with some infoooooo lol.thanks
theres no need to delete rosie. go to settings,applications,the find sense ui. click it and go to clear defaults i believe. then push home. now it will ask select what you want to use home or sense ui. check the box that says use this as my default and then press home. now you have cupcake home. then install whichever home app you want (i.e ahome GDE pandahome)
i did this and i hated it. even with themes i just hated the feel of the home. but hey its preference.
hope i helped
Right on...well when i installed gde.i set it as my default home...i got a task manager n dont see sense or rosie running,so i guess im good ?
well if you did all i said and set home as default you should be good. you would know if sense were running because its the UI. if you a little tab on the bottom of the screen and if you push home and no dialog comes up your set.
Aightyy..thanks
home++ but its only for 1.6+
I'm a big fan of Slidescreen, it's really simple and provides pretty much everything you want on one screen. It takes away the android feel though imho...
I was going to give you a link but I can't post links since i'm new but its slidescreenhome.com if you want to check it out.
Slidescreen is cool

I modified the obsidian theme myself. It is a work in progress. It currently has a completely clear bottom bar (no fade to black) and updated action buttons on the bottom bar. I also changed the color of emerica6541's task bar from white to blue for a more seamless look. I plan to add more blue to GDE and its menus for a more complete look and feel. If I find the time I will also try to add some blue to some of the stock apk's...
Big thanks to emerica for the beautiful task bar and gZ for the original obsidian theme. I only tinker with this stuff and would never have the time/knowledge to pull this off on my own. Thanks to gbhil too... GDE runs incredible on Bare Gumbo 1.5c.
I had thought of trying Open Home but I will try the GDE first. Thanks for the input.
after running GDE for awhile i notice how much faster and smoother sense seems to run.
alright ill edit this post... after trying both gde and sense IMO gde looks better and the battery lasts longer. you basically just have to set gde as your default home and it runs really nice.
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.

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.

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
Update:
This theme isn't to popular but I promised some people a cm6 final version, so here it is.
Ok so this theme is an old theme I ported over from 1.6, I had noticed a lack of lighter themes around here and I know everyones a fan of Tux. I themed most of the icons that had the Droid in them and replaced them with some Tux icons. If there are some others icons with the droid face that I missed and you want them changed I'll try and hook that up.

Sign up for 4shared. Its free and reliable and much better than 2shared. If I remember correctly it was hard to see where to download the file from on 2shared cause of all the ads

I would most certainly love to make a splash screen. I thought about changing the start splash but Cyanogen and the teamwork so hard I didn't want to take anything away from them.
I work on the splash screen.
I to love any thing tux related.

Thank you for the info the 4share account is nice!
I was being lazy and trying to take the easy way out. I hate when you goto those download pages and the intentionally make it hard to figure out where the real freaking d/l link is.
GJ on the theme man .... its good to see alot of new themes popping up lately.
Same tux being the Linux mascot was just another reason for me to love Linux. I flashed this on top of Steel my Elegance and all is well I dig this.

Thank you guys, means alot to here that from XDA members. If you guys see anything or have icons suggestions I'll work on that.
I'm going to make a splash screen for this now.
The splash screen download keeps coming back as corrupt. It says it is not a valid zip file

so I made a .rar and changed the ext to .zip but did it manually try it now, or use win rar on the original.
Nice work, those icons are great! love the splash screen!
The android is still on the market app. If you could put Tux on the planet for the browser or something and have him popping out of the envelope for the gmail icon that would be mucho cool
just an idea though.
Do I just flash the splash?

The splash needs to be booted through fastboot and you'll need a eng spl. There's a good post just above mine on how to do it.
I didn't do the market cause of it being part of the google apps but I'll work on that one (the icon style makes in hard to alter since I don't have the layers). Consider the others done I'll post them tomorrow.
Sweet beans
And makes sense.
Very cool working with feed back and all.
Bump Update v0.2
This is the update thanks Damian for the input. Maybe I'll make a cool animated load screen.

3. iconized the gmail icons with tux.
4. iconized the market icons with tux(pain in the ass might need more work).
5. iconized the browser launch icon.
6. changed the desktop clock back to stock dial (saw anti aliasing in the other).

8. changes the usb android icons to the andro_tux.

Of course I'd be happy to. I was just waiting to see if it was wanted. I thought this theme might die. I'll post it tomorrow night.
Any chance you'll update this for the darch's stable cm6 release?
Hi All,
Im new here and I recently divorced iPhone! I have an HTC HD2 and its probably the BEST ive ever had! Ive seen a lot of posts for themes, etc, however, I prefer the "boring" default homescreen I have (snapshot attached). Ive installed cht and I think it was GREAT, but I didnt like the way my phone "blinked" everytime i woke it up. In any case, i prefer the default screen and my question is, Is it possible to have a bit of transparency on my phone WITHOUT installing 3rd party apps like cht and so on? (Just a simple cab file that adds the TRANSPARENT look to my homescreen and other screens). This will be great! I love playing with custom backgrounds that I make with photoshop, so some transparency will be perfect!
Thanks in advance guys, and keep up the GREAT work!
Regards,
Yaz

Since you use Sense are tons of Manila files that devs have modified that have made certain items transparent. You'll have to hunt for those. What you should really do is load a custom ROM, preferably one with CHT baked in, and go from there. I guarantee your phone won't "blink".
Wow,, THIS SITE IS THE BEST!!!
When I had the iPhone and registered on one of the forums, I used to submit posts, and not get a response for AT LEAST 2 DAYS!! To get a response within a couple of hours is SUPERB!!
Anyway (sorry about that! - got a bit excited) About your recommendation for loading a custom ROM, I guess you saw my specs so you are confident that I wont have any issues. However, I dont know WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT, WHAT I NEED, etc. Therefore, I would be grateful if you would kindly "link" me to the right direction, and I will take it from there. If I do face any issues, would it be OK to pm you?
Please let me know!
Cheers again!
If you want a rom that has both CHT and has transparency have a look at energys rom, link here:
Just scroll down and find the version you want! There are a few, you need to have hslpl installed and then just flash his rom!
If you don't want to flash a new rom and just make a few changes to the stock rom here are a few links to a ton of mods/tweaks for ya(transparency included)..
