This is is based on gsm Hero ROM RCMIX18. It's like the Legend build but faster so you get all the newest Sense goodies like:
Friendstream
News/RSS Widget
Enhanced text selector in the browser.
Downloadable Sense widgets
Internet Connection Sharing
Native live wallpapers in Sense
Shake the phone to see homescreen thumbnails
Everything should be working if you flashed the Main ROM and the update except whats noted below.
Rules and Stuff
The first rule of zenroms is you don't ask for ETA's
Using ZenKernel #2 clocked at 691 set to ondemand
Download Maps from the Market
No you can't update your PRL
Don't ask about Sprint Visual Voice Mail
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobil networks will force close if you select it. It happens on every gsm sense port.
Don't post about how you flashed this and went back to your other rom.
I like cyanogenmod too.
If you want to help then post real bugs with logcats. Not some generic response like "X app force closed"
Don't ask for this or that option. Updates will come as time permits.
Whats the point?
Second rule of zenroms. There is no point
You need to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed
Nandroid in case you want to go back to your other rom
Wipe everything before flashing: data/cache/sd-ext
The update will auto wipe just in case you didn't

I will probably check this out, downloading now.
You using it yourself zen?
EDIT: Flashing now, screenies soon.
Setting up the phone wizard was pretty nifty! Tethering verified as working, wifi verified as working, all my apps showed up in the market. Initial boot took 6 minutes. I like how the flash deleted everything in case somebody forgets. On a side note I like that theres a progress bar when you start up the phone. No questions of a boot loop here. Man this thing is running smooth! Ive uploaded screenies of the stock home settings.

On and off since yesterday. It's running great for me.
I may have to try this on my fiance's phone. I don't think I'm ready to give up Zen EXP. Thanks for providing two excellent options!

If you are rooted then download ROM Manager from the market and use either the Clockword recovery or my personal favorite the Amon Ra recovery.
Dowloand the ROM to the root of your SD card (saved to the SD card but not in any folder).
Turn off your phone, then power on while holding the volume down button. Press the home button when you get to the white screen with the Fastboot and recovery options. Select backup and create a nandroid backup. Then select wipe and factory wipe your phone (you will lose all saved data and settings).
Once you've wiped the select the Flash option and flash the ROM. Once the flash is complete select the reboot option and you'll be rocking the ROM of your choice.
You can download Titanium backup to backup your apps and data. I highly suggest reinstalling on market apps from Titanium, you do not want to attempt to reinstall any system apps or data.

Agreed. Loving ZenEXP. Being the obsessed flasher that I am I will certainly give this a go when I have a moment. It's the new toy on the block!

Just when you have me fall in love with one ROM, you release another...
(but seriously, you rock)
What makes this ROM so much faster? I don't have time to try it yet, but if it is that much faster I will definitely use it.
Also, does this framework allow custom themes (such as Espresso?)

I've been running this for about 2 hours, it FLYS! Not much delay in messaging app either plus you get the extra htc widgets. I'll definatly be using this for a while. After install still had 150 app space left and it isnt even odexed!
One quirk Zen if you could touch on this, my notification lights are a bit funky. ie I seen it blink once really fast but it stays off otherwise when getting a text message.
It is not a deal breaker for me though I'm keeping this bad boy on my phone for awhile. Thank you so much!!!!!
I'll try any Sense ROM once as long as it's nice and clean like this one I'm a Fresh guy myself but everyone does fantiastic stuff. Now if there was just an app for free cable...
*Don't post about how you flashed this and went back to your other rom. Nobody cares.
Classic Here's a dumb question.....what about JIT?
So if anyone has switched from the latest Zen-EXP(the mytouch 3g slide port) to this, how's it running in comparison?
I'm using EXP with noperflock kernel at 768 and it's flying, but if this is quicker I'll switch.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the point of this? I'm not complaining that we have more ROM options, but it's simply a question since it looks basically exactly like stock 2.1 imo. Is it because we can, and it's free?

Stock 2.1 doesn't have the improvements listed at the top.
Also, the legend port we had a long time ago was much faster than the Hero builds at the time, and the Aria builds are apparently faster.
So if you like faster and more featured builds, then you'll like this.
Flashing now, thanks Zip/Zen, I'll report how it's running.

Ah, okay. Faster is definitely good, but I never cared for Sense.. I may try it though, just to see how fast it is. Thanks for answering my question.
Nice ROM!!
Quick Question... and sorry for thinking about the future... Does this means that if AT&T shows some 2.2 Froyo on Aria... Can be ported to the Hero?

Here it is! Pancake! Based off Gumbo, it's one of the fastest Cupcake ROM's for the Sprint Hero! It includes some must-have applications, like wifi-tether and a file manager, and has apps2sd enabled. In order for APPS2SD to work, you must of formatted your SDcard to fat32 + ext2 + swap. To do this, simply boot into recovery, copy all the files you want to keep to your PC, because this WILL FORMAT YOUR SD CARD! and then press 'Part SD: fat32+ext2+swap', copy your files back onto the SD card, and reboot. This boot might take longer than usual, while it copies all your applications to your SD card. Enjoy the ROM!

Well, I would test it out without a wipe, but if it gives you errors, wipe. Let me know how it goes. As always, let me know if you want anything, I'll be very happy to change stuff or add things for you.
didnt do a wipe.so far so good.uninstalled setcpu as well.uninstalled the stock sprint app's too...not im looking for a transparent lock screen and transparent notification slide down menu thing,just like the ones in fresh..will keep updating.

I hqve found that the fresh kitchen really only works for fresh app uninstall, it doesnt work on modaco either.
So, fully understanding I should know this, but what is the difference between having SenseUI and not?

Basically, if you want the pretty stock home look, you want SenseUI. If you want android's stock home screen, get the nosense package. You could pretty much try both and see how you like each one.
Could we drop all the sprint apps except sprint navigation? Believe it or not I use that on occasion because so far I haven't found a google maps app for 1.5 with TTS. Also if you wanted to integrate 'swype lite' as the keyboard, that'd be cool too, otherwise I'll just install that later.
I'll be flashing this for the first time later tonight, MoDaCo + Gumbo's kernel has been working for me, but I'm feeling the urge to switch it up again, and anything faster is good!

If options you need were removed,
this ROM may not be for you.
::: SD Setup :::
Swap
Fat
ext - optional - only has Froyo app2sd
::: TO INSTALL :::
- Do whatever you do for backing up, example: nandroid
- Wipe with this method:
---- While USB plugged to the computer,
---- run the bat in this post and format this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6855422&postcount=3
---- to ensure full format, I also use AmonRa recovery wipe options
---- just to be safe
---- If you are comfortable in ADB, then just use it to run this command:
adb shell mount -a; rm -rf /system/*; rm -rf /data/*; rm -rf /cache/*;
---- You can skip the bat file if you do this
- Flash ROM ONLY
- Reboot Device
- After that, change whatever settings you would like. DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING.
- Just Setup CM settings, wifi, etc (optional)
---- I like to enable wifi and put in my network key
---- so my wifi is going when the market begins
---- to sync my apps
- Reboot Recovey
- Flash GAPPS
- Reboot
- Unlock after reboot and you will be prompted with the Google sign in.
---- After unlock, I usually plug it in, have wifi enabled,
---- set it up under 'USB Debugging' to "stay awake when plugged in"
---- and leave it alone for a bit. This way, you aren't stressing out your system
---- while the market is downloading 100 apps at once lol
---- This is also why I reboot and setup PRIOR to installing gapps.
---- A reboot or three may be needed to ensure everything is settled in nicely
---- If you are wondering where your responsiveness is, look at your downloads
---- in the market, see if you are still syncing. If you reboot during some downloads,
---- you may need to cancel and restart them.
Fully Tested on my G1.
Current Phone Specs:
- Danger SPL
- G1-radio-2_22_23_02

Those apps are much slower than the stock camera app imo. What's wrong with the camera app included in CM6? Snappy for me

Hey marlo, I have a problem. I've never modded my g1 before and decided to do this rom first off. I went back and rooted it and then installed amon ra recovery and did radio update to 2.22 and danger spl.
I flashed your rom through recovery and it booted up fine the first three times but for some reason now it wont stop rebooting. It gets to the home screen, "press menu(my bad) 'swipe' to unlock", for about a second or two and then screen fades as if I did a battery pull. Then boots right back up.
I'm going to try some things when i get home, in recovery, when I wipe before install, am I suppossed to wipe all options in that sub menu? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you and all others in advance.
Alright still having the same problem. I loaded in recovery and wiped everything except the sdcard partition, which I dont have my sdcard partitioned, so I didnt want to do it and wipe my rom zip.
After wiping everything else I reflashed the rom from sd. And rebooted from recovery. Rom loaded up great and worked perfect on first boot for about an hour until I decided to reboot it to make sure everything was working great and it started again.
Will load up to "swipe to unlock" and once its done preparing sd card it fades like I did a batt pull. Help, please?
Ok, sorry I wasn't following forum rules. I didn't know the meaning of the term "search". I spent a good 45 straight minutes searching just now as well as searching earlier today, but you guys are right, it pays off. I had wifi on, and only after a reboot would it go into the wifi reboot bug because on first launch with no wifi on it would connect without rebooting.
Hey marlo, I have some questions about this build and about a stripped down version of android to run games. Answer on here if you like, but I'll PM you about it.
Sorry for the delay. Your bug may have something to do with cyanogen, or what I removed. CM has been known to do similar things.
I never experienced your scenario, but I'm not saying I doubt you.
Games ran fine for me, I played robo defense all the time.
Thanks for trying my version of CM.

Azrael X v5.0 available for download now! Enjoy!*
This post is not going to be able to be fully updated until tomorrow so don't pay any attention to it.

Well, after a break, a lot of new OTA updates and such, and a lot of patience from most of you...here it is! I apologize for the wait and hope you find this release worth it. I still have to upload pics and such, they will be here soon.

Please enjoy, will update this first post soon to reflect more of the changed in the ROM.

Get it here!
Azrael X v5.0 by Ricsim78
To install on your Evo:
1. Copy the ROM zip file to the root of your SD card.
2. Shut off your phone and boot into recovery.
3. Do a full wipe (Data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) Do it twice to be sure if you want to!
4. Install the ROM. It should take a few minutes to install.
5. Reboot the phone. It should take a long time to start up the first time. Please be patient!
6. If all goes well, enjoy your new ROM!
7. If not, start over from step 2 after pulling your battery.
To install a custom kernel: Let it boot all the way into the ROM first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the custom kernel and reboot. DO NOT install any MODS without letting the ROM load up without any addons first!
To install a theme: Let it boot all the way into the ROM first, then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the theme and reboot.
How to backup and restore using Titanium backup Here is the method I use to backup my phone information before I wipe and install a new ROM
I backup my entire phone with a batch "Backup all user apps + system data"
Wipe and install the new ROM,
I open Titanium Backup (TB) and give it super user rights.
I hit "Updates?" in TB and make sure I am running the latest.
I hit "Problems?" in TB and make sure I am using Busybox 1.60
Hit menu and select batch
Select "Backup all new apps + newer versions of apps", if any.
Select "Restore missing apps with data"
Go over the list and make sure you are restoring only what you want
Hit run batch operation
After it completes, go back into TB and backup restore.
Restore contacts twice
Restore MMS twice
Restore Mail twice
If any of the 3 above do not take, do it again
Restart your phone
Verify mail, MMS, and contacts restored. If not, restore again.
Why Amon RA and not Clockwork recovery?
Clockwork does not wipe the Dalvik properly (if at all). I personally have had nothing but problems with both Clockwork and ROM manager
I have said countless times that if you use either of the above, it is at your own risk. Install Amon RA recovery and I bet any wiping/installing problems will go away.
If you already are using ROM manager, pick the option to install a custom recovery, choose Amon RA 1.8. If that option is greyed out, reinstall the latest Clockwork then install RA.
Note: Do not do a fix permissions with anything unless you need to, you can screw stuff up that way.
Trust me, the new ROM is devoid of problems (I have never tested a ROM this much before releasing it). If you experience any, it is either something you are doing wrong or incomplete wipes thanks to your recovery not doing it's job properly.
Which kernels work with this ROM?
Any that are designed for a Sense ROM. This includes:
Netarchy's
Kingclick's
Hero Over's
Ziggy's
HTC's
Which kernel do you recommend to use?
I cannot recommend a kernel for you because each EVO reacts different. The best for my phone can be the worse for yours.
You have to try the different ones available and pick the one that works best for you. What I do is start with their latest and work your way down until you find one that works well. Then stick with it.
This also goes for overclocking, SetCPU settings, etc.
With the new Hardware 0004 Evo phones, a custom kernel may or may not break the camera and video recording features. Make sure to test them before you head out.
Which themes work with this ROM?
Themes make your phone look nice but can also add problems to an otherwise smooth running ROM. You can use any theme you wish, but Nandroid first and if anything is broken, please do not blame the ROM as it is the theme that added the problem.
You definitely need to install a theme that works with a Gingerbread based ROM. DO NOT load an older theme (for older OTA's, for example 3.70, 3.30 or 3.29) as the framework files are different.
Always Nandroid before using a custom theme. Once you load up the theme, verify no problems are present that were not there before you installed the theme. If there is, keep the theme and either live with the problem, or fix it if you can. If not,be sure to let the maker of that particular theme aware that it is not working with Azrael ROM. They may be glad to help and you are helping them make their theme more compatible.
This one reserved for me as well...10 characters
time to load this baby.
I am currently uploading it, that is why the download link will be available soon. Sorry upload takes a while. It will be up within half an hour.
i feel like its a few hours before xmas, i cant wait!
Edit:
will the older Azrael themes work well with the 2.5?
Sorry guys for the confusion, I am trying to maximize my time and setup the post while uploading it, it will be available within 20 minutes. I will update the first post when it is ready.
woo woo, I was about to install 2.4 and now I can wait for 2.5!!

3.30.651.2 (and subsequently 3.30.651.3) is 100% designed for newer Evo manufactured in November.
These Evos are hardware number 0004 and have a different camera chip and some other changes to the framework of the ROMS to accommodate this new hardware. HTC threw us ROM makers a curve ball!
You can use 3.30.XXX.X on an older Evo, but you can experience the following problems (some of which I personally witnessed on my own 0003 Evo):
Fast battery drain
3rd party camera apps having trouble working
Speed descreased a bit. (My new Azrael ROM is faster than my new Omega ROM on my phone, though they are identical besides the base).

Ahhhh! And I was just going to ask you ric why the base change, my Evo is hardware #0003 too.
I have heard of reports of 0003 having the new camera chip
Has the 3.30 base been definitely pinpointed as the cause of the rapid battery drain? I trust you and your Rom that's why I am using it. I only ask because it seems as most devs here have updated their Rom to the new base and was curious what in the build would cause this? Thanks.

All Builds are up. No more changes will occur. Massive credits to Kifno on getting the kernel cooked in and also for adding back in the mail apk.
For those of you who don't know, LiquidSense is a ROM series that focuses on speed and stability with minimal bloat, except instead of the Cyanogen approach, this is for Sense lovers. Any apk I have removed can be re-added very easily .
Credits:
NFinite - for damn near everything, inspiration + an excellent base ROM, as usual. He gets full credit for the rooting/installation of busybox/integration of Apps2SD, and the best of luck to him as he gets
ASimmons - For the wonderful optimization scripts. Seriously, this man is a genius.
Decad3ance - Amazing kernel, and relentless drive to give us the best our Heroes can get
TpyoKnig - For the extremely fast FTP so that my Dropbox Public folder doesn't get hammered like an Irishman at Oktoberfest, also for some indispensable help building up the ROM as well
Kifno - MAJOR help with integrating the kernel into the ROMs, as well as adding back the mail apk which I stupidly removed. He understands what he's doing, and we should be interested to see what he comes up with next.
What it is:
~ NFinite's Latest ROM Release (NFX-Sprint.STOCK.2.32.651.2.ODEX.A2SD)
~ Decad3ance's #589 Kernel capped at 691. You can easily flash over uncapped if you'd like.
~ 100% png-optimized and zipaligned + odexed for massive performance and fast startup
~ Fully rooted + busybox (credit for both goes to NFinite)
~ Tons of Sprint Bloat removed (can be added back)
~ Original ROM size was 106 MB, my ROM is only 88 MB
What's been removed:
~ The usual Sprint Stuff (Nav/VVM/Sprint Zone/Nascar/NFL/TV)
~ Some HTC Stuff I felt was not needed at all (a few widgets, Teeter, Flickr, Twitter, Stocks, Learn More)
~ More specific list coming later (if you can't wait, take a look at the Removed APKs zip at the bottom of this post)
Special Notes:
~ Google Maps has been left in this ROM. I could have easily taken it out and removed 5 MB, but I felt too many people depend on it to have it removed
~ Facebook has been removed. I feel the app is garbage, but if you want it, it's just a download away in the Market.
~ Market is the latest one, it includes auto-update.
~ Ringtones have been left inside the ROM since the last time I removed them, people's phone process was crashing.
~ Wired Tether is no longer pre-cooked into the ROM, but it is stored on your SD card. Install with the provided ES File Manager if you wish to use it.
Screenshots:
Nothing is visually changed about the ROM. Screenshots could be put up, but if you've seen a stock ROM before, you've seen this one.
Instructions:
Ready? Here we go! Veteran users probably won't need to read all of the steps.
Step 1: Power off your phone.
Step 2: Press and hold volume down while powering on the phone to get to Recovery..
Step 3: Please please please nandroid!
Step 4: Mount USB Storage (while in recovery)
Step 5: Download and put the ROM of your choice on your memory card:
~ Odex (Faster, Not easily themeable)
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Odex Deca 691Mhz + Sprint VVM
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Odex Deca 691Mhz with no VVM
~ Deodex (Slightly slower, extremely easy to theme)
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Deodex Deca 691Mhz + Sprint VVM
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Deodex Deca 691Mhz with no VVM
IF your phone can handle 768, simply flash over Deca's Stable #589 kernel over your flash.
Step 6: Wipe/Factory Reset (I strongly suggest this)
Step 7: Flash the ROM you downloaded.
Step 8 (optional): Without leaving the recovery menu, proceed to flash the #589 768MHz kernel as well, if your phone can handle it.
Step 9: Reboot, setup, and enjoy.
Removed APKs/Widgets:
A fair amount of stuff has been removed from this ROM. You can find all the removed APKs here, just push them back into /system/app: Removed System APKs
Also, with massive thanks to Kifno, the Sprint VVM builds are fully updated as well. He is the reason this ROM is finished, keep a close eye on his dev threads. He's bound to do something big for us.
Reserved just in case.
ill give it a go and see if i can find anything.
Well on the setup if you try and add other email it fc the setup wizard (com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard).

Liquid: I think you should remove as much as possible, and let folks add back what they want. Removing facebook was a good step. Leaving Google Maps... maybe but it gets updated often and will have to be downloaded from the Market anyway. Just a personal opinion, as I am capable enough to remove what I want before I flash anyway.
Good luck with the kernel, if you figure out how to get decada3nce's kernel easily imported let me know? That is something I haven't looked into yet as I always flashed afterwards.
Also, have you seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7732407&postcount=223
A few more things you could trim. Probably a good idea to read some of that thread besides what I just directly linked to.
Thanks for your hard 'up-till-4am' work.
By the way, could you share the optimization scripts you use? Sounds like you use different ones that I managed to cherry pick off the depths of the interwebs.
Have a good day!
for some reason the download keeps stopping..
This post and ROM mirror removed as Liquid is working on an update.

Since this is a beta, you should go into detail about your FC's if they are %100 repeatable to help Liquid out incase they missed something, etc.
1) Did you flash over a previous install, or do a full wipe and fresh install?
2) What was the FC error message? Was it while an app was running or when you started an app?
3) What extra apps have you installed? Tweaks? Task Killers? Overclocking beyond 691? etc
No biggie if not, just trying to make this rom the best it can be!
I would flash this but I'm a senseless person lol have fun

1. I did a full wipe and fresh install.
2. One of the FC's was with Sense and the other was with the market.
3. I installed Smartkeyboard and Handcent SMS, but i got the FC's before that.
Like I said, nothin too big.

Cool, hopefully Liquid will be able to look into your issue and the other poster's issue with non-gmail email.
I haven't had a chance to flash this yet since I'm at work 12hrs a day till the 1st. Can't risk not having a phone for even a few minutes. Because, you know, as soon as I reboot to flash something the boss will call, I'd miss it, then I'd have to explain why I wasn't able to answer the call etc... I love my job
Have had this up and running for 24 hrs; runs as smooth and fast as the previous stable build, no FC's of any kind.
I'm using Deca's #23 CFS uncapped as I've found it the best of what he's done so far; SetCPU set to 729/245 smartass gov.
Yes, HTC mail was definitely not cooked into this rom, nor was Maps. No biggie on either, I dl'd Maps from the market, and am using the mobile Yahoo Mail site through Opera Mini.
Liquid! Everything is running fine. Flashed your ROM and the Kernel. Restored a bunch of apps, everything is smooth! I'll just need to get onto my computer and install some of the removed apps, as I'm not able to installs some apps and widgets through ES File Mgr.
With the new ROM, I forgot to set my alarm and was late!

It just worked for me. Try this filebeam.com mirror. I'll keep it around for a day or two or if Liquid updates his rom before then. I don't want old versions floating around any place other than the OP's main post.

The HTC Mail app is in the removed apps zip file that Liquid posted on the OP. You'll probably need to use Android Commander to install, I tried with the ES File Mgr and would not work. I'll be doing that tonight.

This will not wipe your data, ALthough always best to start fresh!
- [Kernel] [GPL] Sense 2.6.32.21 OC/UV 1.51GHZ (CFS-Smartass-TUN) Thanks to bcnice20
- Default CPU clock will be 1.0ghz with ondemand , changable thru setcpu or if you want to edit the kernel directly. I have never been a fan of the overclocking apps as once the system is boot they need to wait for the SU to grant permissions for the settings. this way it is from boot.
Remove the script below to use setcpu
If you would like to change the defaults in the kernel just look in system/etc/init.d/ 80screenstate_scaling
echo 245760 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 1209600 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
System Currently boot at 1.2 ghz with the script. if you have issues with this speed remove the sript and reboot. This will allow for the settings in the kernel to boot at 1ghz.
- Unlocked 3G USB tethering & Sprint Hotspot - no need for any other apks aka wired or wireless tether
- Read ahead fixed to 256k for the SDcard (speed fix) - should increase the read times from sdcard
- 5meg limit on the mms
- Tweaks for the system to increase overall performance
- 4 in 1 menu w/hibernation (photo at bottom of post)
- Fixed 1x / 3g to be accurate
- zip align apps installed on data automatically
- Annoying ads in programs are blocked
Added:
Astro File Explorer
Titanium Backup
Updated:
Sprint VVM
Maps
Market
there where other just cant recall them
Ok, If you experience issues please in your post list the issues clearly so I wont miss them. I would perfer maybe list them first then explain them underneath.

good deal nand welcome to the shift. ha ha. bout to test this out know. ive tried out some of your hero stuff and seen the good work you've done.
I did a full wipe before flashing, and it booted up, but does not seem to have a functioning launcher. If I turn the screen off, and back on, I see the lock screen, but swiping down results in a black screen.
Make sure you have cache wiped too, sounds like maybe a corupt download.
I've been running this for four days and have not had a single hiccup.

if you can could you get me a ddms or logcat while booting so I can see what may be causing this issue for you.
As I said previously I dont have amy shift yet so I can only possibly track down the issue if you can grab a logcat or ddms report of the issue.

I apologize, I already did a nandroid recover. Everything went through fine on the logcat, but after boot it kept giving me an error in regard to wakelock not responding. I probably had a bad download. I will try again this weekend (have to go meet the wife right now) and let you know the results. I am really excited to run this, so I am sure I can get it to work eventually. Thanks a lot for your work on this.
Running well for me, and I'm using bcnice20's oc-uv sense kernel with it ... albeit according to quadrant a little slower than the stock odex rom with the same kernel.

Well that is great then considering odex vs deodexed, cause we all now that there is about a 15 to 20% loss with deodexing a rom. Once I get my shift I will odex and really get into slimlineing the rom, just like the HeroC
Man it is great to see you here!! When I sold my hero, the guy wanted to keep your ROM that I was running on it. Paypal is about to see some action once I try this out.

Any way to add the power widgets like CM6 had on the pull down menu? I loved having all my stuff soo easy to turn on/off. Usually I didnt like Sense because it slowed down the phone but the shift is super fast with it. I'm looking forward to the odex version your planning on making. Thanks for your hard work!

I am new to all this rooting and installing new roms, so please bare with me. I have downloaded this rom twice to my computer, but can not get it to install on my phone. I have extracted the file to my sd card, did a data wipe on phone, went to install zip from sd, but cannot "find" and install new rom. Any suggestions? At least I have found out how to do recovery.
