Restore Original Boot Screen:
I didnt like the new boot screen, so I changed it back to the cute little bots peeking behind the HTC logo, this is how you do it:
Download: http://drop.io/HeroPorts/asset/cutebot-zip
Extract that to anywhere
adb remount
adb push boot.gif /system/media
adb push boot.mp3 /system/media
enjoy those little guys
Restore Original Fonts: Credit: BigBalla
I also didnt care for the fonts much, here is how I reverted back:
Download http://drop.io/HeroPorts/asset/origherofonts-zip and then extract zip
adb remount
adb push fonts /system/fonts/
adb reboot

Can anyone confirm
Speed?

Speed..
Lag..?
Basically people is this stable?

I seen this on twitter...is it much faster the hero rom released by haykuro? You also mentioned it doesnt need app_s on the ext2. How is that possible?

the thing that really sucks is some apps need other apps to run as you know so when people are moving over stuff might not move over everything they need only ran into that so far with a couple of things and those are the things that were added anyways lol

Pls send me the update via email (if too great for your email, split with winrar or something else)
I then will host it for you, for really DIRECT downloading!

For troubleshooting purposes, can everyone provide examples?
App name: xyz.apk
Issue: Force close
Fix: copied lib from /dir/... to /needed/dir
I think this would help others.

[ROM-DEV] Android 2.0.1-r5v0.6 (Dead)

Android 2.0.1-r5v0.6
Dead:
==============
After spending some time and looking over this rom and ways to make it work with out any legal issues. The most viable option was to build something like what cynanogen has built. His process takes the proprietary bits (all google apps including sync) and copies them off onto the SD card before doing a update. After the update it copies them back to the newly installed rom. This method basically does a automated backup/restore of your licensed applications. I can't do this for several reasons including that we are supposed to be coming from a 1.5 OS to a 2.0.1, which isn't compatible with the older application set.
Temporarily Offline:
==============
I am sorry to have to do this but we are now having more then just a small handful goofing with this ROM and I need to take this offline while I inspect each of the parts and make sure all licensing is in order since its a bit more then the google Opensource framework. I know that several other ROM creators have not paid much attention to it as I am going to now but I really don't want to upset any IP holders like what happened to Cynanogen a couple months back.
I will put it back up but I want to make sure that I am totally covered and don't have any issues.
version 0.6: download (offline)
==============
-fixed wifi thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593620
-Now starts up with Android stock keyboard. (No longer needs HTC_IME.apk for second keyboard)
A few have asked for this ROM so I thought I would put it up here for anyone that wants to contribute to or take from it.
This ROM is only compatible with the Sprint CDMA HTC Hero. It is not finished and still requires some work but its good enough for my day to day use and I am sure others may find the same potential.
This ROM is vanilla android and what it takes to actually get it running on a CDMA phone. It is built off of this GSM variant. I am going to try and work to remove the google bits so that you can use Cynanogens method of extracting your own and then doing a follow up update to install them. My efforts for this is not to build a better rom but to build a cleaner base that has limited to no proprietary IP.
Credits to all on this forum how have helped or contributed in any way to building the roms that are here. I would point out names but there are to many to name. I am positive that anyone that pays attention to this forum will know who you are. I used many parts of these ROM's and many others on XDA to build this one.
This is my first ROM and was primarily made for myself to help me learn how to create a custom ROM.
Here is the link to my blog where I originally posted about this and a video of it booting.
Here is the Youtube video of it booting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRTh-rXKe-E
*Warning*: Don't attempt to flash this ROM onto anything else unless you know what you are doing! I am not responsible for any device malfunctions or "Bricks".
Notes on Installing:
- Run a Nandroid backup before you do anything.
- Make sure you do a full wipe first. (Sorry )
- Run the update zip found * Version 0.6 *(offline) from the recovery console.
To get the HTC keyboard installed: (Now Optional as of Version 0.6)
- Follow the instructions here.
Things that don't work:
- Gallery some times has issues.
- Camera
- Wired or Wireless Tethering (Now Testing)
- Orientation
- Trackball light
- Trackball click (Rolling and moving are fine)
- (Let me know if something else needs to go here.)
Possible issues that are not repeatable:
- speaker not working on out bound calls? I made 30 test calls to my home phone and was not able to replicate this issue. Needs to be verified (see here)

im trying it now nice work

Let me know if any of you have issues flashing. I still have it all right here in front of me if I need to make a change.
FYI: The first boot takes for ever as it registers all the APKS.

i just get the HTC_IME fource close i installed the one from the site like you said and installed it and i get this

So you installed both the HTC_IME.apk and the Clicker.apk? Did you do a adb push or a adb install?
Try and go into settings --> Language & Keyboard --> Touch Input --> Text Input?
I think its a force of habit with out really thinking to go there and calibrate but just going there may help.
Try that and let me know.

i just flashed it and pushed the keyboard and calibration app through adb and all is well. its working awesome. Thanks!!!

I would do an install or transfer them to your SD card and grab a app like Astro from the market to install them. Don't worry we will get you worked out.

Thanks, but I really can't take to much credit. Its a "Pick and Pull" from several ROMs. This one actually came from our GSM Brothers and then I used the CDMA tricks in this form to make it work.
I keep watching and playing with the Google Nexus Dumps. I would really like to get one of them up and running.

Based on your posting and replies I assume you are re-using the 2.6.27 kernel like the other roms?

Wow thats allot in a little space.
What I gather is that it originally booted, then after trying to install via droid explorer and then astro it now just dies after the lockscreen.
I am not sure where to start. I would just say to do a full wipe, then a clean install. Then if you have the sdk try the ADB install method as Cynanogen's post talks about.
I am working on trying to get the stock Android keyboard to work. If we can figure out that then we don't have to mess with the HTC one.

ok i got it i just adb pushed them to system/app works great

Yeah, actually some of your work if I remember correctly, thats why its got the same issues. My first goal when I built this for my self was to get past the blasted google bits sync loop. The more I worked into it the more I moved on to the 2.0.1 build with some of your stuff in it.
Your welcome to anything I have learned, its really not my work.

[ROM] Pancake 0.1

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!
Thanks to:

If your name should be in the credits, tell me and I'll correct it!
This ROM is for the CDMA Hero users, so if you want something, let me know, and I'll try my best to put it in.
So that I can provide faster support with this ROM, I set up a IRC channel for this 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.
EDIT:i tried like 3 times to delete the stock app's through fresh's kitchen,phone reboots but app's still installed.

nice. im gonna give this a try.

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!

Sense 3 Launcher w/Browser Button (not personalize)

HTC is tricky tricky. I thought this was going to be easy, but I had to use every bit of my smali hacking knowledge to kick it's ass.
I used a stock 1.45.401.2 (2.3.4 EU OTA) deodexed Rosie.apk to mod from. So this should work on any new major ROM out there (Revolution HD, Leedroid, InsertCoin, Virtuous, my ROM, etc), and likely even work on the up and comping TMO OTA patch.
I haven't swapped out the image because I don't really have a good browser image to match, so you're stuck with the personalize button picture, unless someone wants to provide me with a good one. I'll swap them out np.

worked perfectly, anyways to assign custom browser? i like maxthon, and i quarantine my stock browser, so unless i give up that ram i cannot use personalize button for my custom browser. (currently) let me know if this is possible, Thanks again (click)

I'd really like this with Virtuous Affinity (sense 3.5) you think it will work of Rosie is different!!

What exactly is the upside to this "customized" stock ROM ? Details pls!
Unless you recompile something, it's not clear what this accomplishes. The trend is actually the other way, to keep things as stock as possible.

Given that the FireOS 5.x update comes with a huge file that is kind of dd'ed into /system partition, would it not make more sense to create a flashable zip which would do a few post-install modifications such as :
1) remove apps you don't want
2) install CM apps you do want
This would be a lot more transparent, and easier to use with the newer FireOS updates when they come out.

Funny 'cause, I have absolutely NO PROBLEMS believing this. this is what happens when you use cheapo Chinese junk.
Caveat The Hardware, in-and-of-itself is fine. The support of such Manufacture's to actually release a useful SDK / Sourcecode however? Can be forgotten. Fact is if anyone BUT Amazon were selling this Device. We probably wouldn't even have the Kernel Source. Much less the rest of what would be needed to build a new Custom ROM.
