Excellent idea! I was hoping someone would do this.
I'll load it up this morning and let you know if I see any issues!

Ahhh perfect, I was poking around to see what I would need to do to bring the multitouch browser to H (I already have the Voice Search and Dialer) and I find this. Thank's dude.

Hmmmm sounds tempting, but how does the speed compare to adp hr3?

Not 100% sure, but this loads faster on mine. I "overclock" to slow to save battery haha but I didn't notice a difference running hr3. I've been going back and forth trying to get what I need. The blue lock screen overlay is actually the MAIN reason I am doing this. Stupid, huh?
Key factor may be that I DID update the radio.
I did leave out superuser, spare parts, and anything else that can be installed normally for those who don't want them. I change my mind about apps hourly so I try to keep default installs as clean as possible to avoid troublesome adb commands.

This sounds very intersting. Does it include the Exchange integration from the 5.0H build?

This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for... soon as you get locked down which apps ur keeping, I'm on it.

Sounds great twisted. I'm in love with 5.0.2H because of the mail app and pdfviewer. Yesterday I stepped up to ADP1.5 and although it was fast, it's missing these key components that I use daily. I look forward to you app log.

This is really interesting. I can't wait to hear(read) thee results. Lol

It currently has the 5.0.2 exchange. I saw no point in taking it out. I don't use it but I know it's far easier to remove system components like that than it is to implement them once an update is installed.
So far I see no real difference in Gmail. Mail seems to crash for me in 1.5 with something about a Plus account - looks like 5.0.2 mail stays. Maps and Market will be updated because I see no reason not to.
Any thoughts on Gmail? Anyone see any updates worth having?

Can you put the H build camera in the build instead of the 1.5.3 camera? The HTC camera was far superior than the google implementation. That's all I can think of so far

H camera crashed when using the camera button. The one I'm using is the one from the "add features to 5.0.xH" thread. Seems to be the most stable and all you really lose is zoom. Forgot to take out additional HTCAlbum, though. Planning to fix this and some other updates when I get back to my hideout. If I can remap the H camera button I will get that in there, but that takes a little longer than just swapping apks.

Please allow me time to obtain all the information I need (and the conmplimentary copy of Paragon) before I begin posting parallel versions for those of you that require a2sd. Until then I am taking the advice of a pm and adding in the black vk. It is "slick"
Please feel free to follow me on twitter at the same name. Much as I have followed the trend of making one for such an endeavor.
Please excuse the fact that I edit my posts almost immediately. I view them from my G1 and while the logic may be flawed, I find them cleaner when words do not hang loosely into additional lines.

This was for those, like me, that liked the original look and feel of the Haykuro 5 series builds and didn't want to miss out on the new features of the 1.5 series builds. My own firmware is very custom so no screenshots currently.

Please let me know if you test this and find any bugs. I know altering updates MAY cause items to crash when installed. I will fix them ASAP.
Currently in the process of checking out Dude's Cupcake to see if anything in there might improve the build.

any chance you could add the launcher in from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507244 Or does this now not have the problem when you slide out the keybord? Because im currently running an old version of this rom i think? I had to install G keybord my self so.. Almost deff :L lol, Oh dont meen to be fussy but ayway you you edit the title of the thread whenever you update? only this seems a very intrsting build as i tooo love the HTC look and dont wanna loose the feel exactly cheers for your work dude

everything seems to work. not seeing the multi-touch...suppose to be there right. not a big deal, just testing out the version.

How is this going?
Still developing the build?
Looks great, and appears to fit me perfectly!
However, what is the difference between the two builds that you link to in your first post?
Is the 5.0.2hr5-twisted.zip the normal version, while the 5.0.2hr5a-twisted.zip is the Apps2SD version?

Sorry apps2sd is still coming. Having technical difficulties with getting both my G1 and computer to recognize the same partitions. The new version has the Andreoid keyboard included along with updates to youtube, maps, and market. The slider problem still exists for a day or two. Wanted to get the new market in place because I isolated the market download issue to have been cooperation between market and launcher. Now that the new market accepts downloads I can fix launcher. Expect updates tomorrow. I have a 4-hour block of boredom. Hehe.

Still isolating libs and such. JesusFreke redid the kernel so the program alone was not enough. Didn't think that far ahead when I was throwing parts together. I'm learning as I tear apart the 7 builds on my desktop. I just have to teach myself as I go.
Open source never meant well-documented.
Plans are in the works to go backwards from the HTC build, but like most others I need something to default back to when I'm not testing. Building this version was first priority with that being my next step. That is when the speed increases will occur with some new features. Can't say I'm not a dreamer, right?

[SUPER Fast][Phone.apk NO LAG]Holy Crap! Who's rom is this?! Hero2.1 (2.1 + SenseUI)

Edit 5/18/2010
FIRST PUBLIC BETA OF MY EDITS TO THIS ROM ARE OUT! CHECK THEM OUT HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6518000
Mods! Please close this thread! PLEASE do not post in this thread about my Beta! I don't need to be tracking 2 threads!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browsing Google for new roms to check out, review and breakdown for my own learning pleasure, I stumbled across this hero rom of Android 2.1 with SenseUI.
http://www.4shared.com/file/163848444/8c7602ca/Hero_21.html
Tried to google search the archive name as well as the full 4shared link but couldn't find any articles about it anywhere. (If you know where its from let me know!)
Flashed it on my 32B Magic (MyTouch). This rom is INCREDIBLE. Booted up from flash to setup in less than 3 minutes, everything in setup ran smoothly and quickly (with one exception, I'll note below).
This is SO FAST, right off the bat, no SetCPU, no nothing, AND THE PHONE COMES UP INSTANTLY WHEN RECEIVING A CALL! No force closes so far, no non responding apps, NOTHING.
I've found 2 problems with the rom - Gmail setup can't seem to find a data connection (but the browser and IM clients do - weird? is this a CDMA rom? How do I check?) and the homescreen reboots anytime you hit the "Home" button - but it only takes a second or two to finish. I'm going to fly spare parts onto it and see if I can keep home in memory.
If anyone knows who's rom this is, let me know! Also, if it IS a CDMA rom, can someone port it to GSM? About Phone says this is the HTC Hero, but the Kernel says it is "Unavailable".
TRY THIS ROM, ITS AWESOME! If I can get gmail to work and the home app to stay in memory this will be my daily rom until CR brings his Slide rom out of beta and it runs this fast.
EDIT: Doing some testing, results of set 1
Comes with SU installed and working.
Text messages - working
Sense Widgets - working
Phone calls (in and outbound) - working and SUPER fast, there's NO lag!
NO CAMERA!
wifi - broken? says its unable to start
bluetooth - same as wifi
Gmail - broken? Can't get a data connection to gmail
Market - not working, because I can't get into gmail :-(
Browser - working, browsing the web as we speak
Keyboard - working (HTC_IME with no lag or weird ram-hack like problems.)
SetCPU (installed through adb) - installed and now this thing is just... I mean, there's no words for it. its fast. its really fast.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working on building off of this rom - but I'm not copying and pasting in a ktichen, I'm actually working to rewrite code, replacing drivers, updating with a new kernel and above all else, making the apps work together. Right now I'm working to fix sync and make the prgram list actually display all the installed apps. This is tedious work, but Ill update you guys on my progress as it happens. I think this is a great rom to build off of because from the start, its super fast and as long as I keep speed in mind as I work on the rom, I think the end result will be a good one. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, both for fixes and modifications to this rom. I'm new to android development so I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading right now but I'm a 8 year programmer and do it for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, so it's not like programming is new to me - just the android side of it. I'd like to thank Cyanogen fo his wealth of tutorials, repositories, and tips because most of the stuff I'm reading and learning was written by him.
Bugfix log for NEXT release (NOT THE CURRENT ONE!)
Facebook App and sync - fixed
Camera/Video
Wifi
Widgets (they don't all appear in the add widget list)
Google sync - Partially fixed... still working on it
App list not showing all installed apps - Working on it, still don't have any idea why its happening but I will find out if it kills me

[5/9/10] On the google sync issue - I originally thought it was a Hero caching problem, having found a ton of information of this happening on stock hero devices, but it turns out it wasn't. In the process of discovering this, I've also found out why the installed apps don't show in the Rosie app list. Its a bug with how this rom was built in SDK version 6, when the original Hero rom from HTC was build in 7, it was backported (not sure if I have the correct terminology there), breaking a few things. I'm going to recompile in 7, fix the system date format (which is also causing an error in the Google sync) and hopefully get sync working, then I can start looking at other minor bugs and optimization.
-----------------------------------------------
PS - somebody find out where this rom came from so I can give proper credit to the original developer(s)!!!
Edit: I'm told this is Drizzy's original Hero 2.1 (Thanks Chris!) with broken drivers. I'm going to try to contact Eugene to see what modifications he made and also check through online documentation to figure driver **** out. Props to Drizzy/Eugene - this build may be more or less broken (well, it was your first and you had plenty of updates to it since then) but damn, nice job on such a fast rom, its awesome even for alpha.

im a little scared to try it...so i wont zackattacks 2.1 1.1 hero is fast enough and stable enough for me right now.

Could you give us more information from where did you obtain it?

Yeah, I found reviews from this gamercore guy, but he doesn't say where he got it or who made it. He does rom reviews. You can find a bunch of his rom reviews on youtube - I doubt he makes them all, but I could be wrong.

He just review roms.. By the way this was uploaded last year must be 1.5 hero not 2.1 Old news

Could be - but I don't think so, this thing is old, uploaded last year, I can't get ZX's 2.1 hero to work and I haven't seen a ZX Team update on their 2.1 Sense threads on here or on androidspin, plus this one has a ton of extra features, like the animated browser progress bar from the original espresso rom.

seems interesting. can anyone confirm if this is 2.1 as OP suggusted or 1.5 as mediaman suggusted?

Has anyone tried the Chrome Beta apk with MeDroid?

I installed a Chrome Beta apk I got from some of the other forums here at XDA, but I seem to be getting FCs every time I launch the app, was wondering if anyone got it working or if anyone has found a fix for this issue.

It requires hw acceleration. Won't work for us yet until we get that achieved.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium

That makes sense, I did manage to download an apk that does not FC every time, but I can't really says it's usable.
Here's hoping the CM9 team or some other dev manages to make it work someday.

I can't download it from the market since I don't live in the US, but I get the same results as you, it loads but all pages are blank, and I can see the synced results on the omnibox but no page returns.

I have it installed. No FC's, but it doesn't work. As stated, it needs hardware acceleration. It went through the entire setup, sign in, and import of all normal information. But when you try to load anything, you stare at a blank screen.

[APP][2.2+][2013-03-15] Linaro builds of Firefox/Fennec for Android ARMv6

NOTE: If you are looking for Linaro builds of Firefox/Fennec for Android ARMv7, those are over here.
UPDATE: Producing Beta, Aurora and Nightly builds again.
UPDATE: Mozilla has updated the build system to start creating ARMv6 builds of Beta, Aurora, and Nightly. Due to this (great!) news, I've stopped producing Debug, Default and Optimize builds of Firefox/Fennec and will only continue with Linaro builds for now.
Notes:
* These builds are ARMv6 ONLY!
* Supports Flash. v11/v10.3 recommended
* Fennec may currently only work for Android 2.2+ devices per Mozilla's Dev Team, but YMMV.
* Tested without issue on Republic Wireless LG Optimus S (LG LS670, AOSP 2.3.5, CM7).
* If you have issues with Sync, remove Nightly/Beta/Aurora installations from your PC and use Release to initiate pairing of your ARMv6 device
Troubleshooting:
* If you receive the error "Secure Connection Failed" with error code "sec_error_no_memory", you must disable TLS support:
1. browse to about:config
2. search for "tls"
3. toggle "security.enable_tls" to false
(Screenshot attached: 2012.06.15-10.24.25.jpeg)
ADBlock Plus:
* Development builds of AB+ work. (Tested with b3478). They can be found here.

Working very nicely (except for sync), including Flash, on a rooted LG P506 (LG Thrive) running GB 2.37 with CM7-7.2 and a 2.6.35 kernel.
Let's hope sync comes to the ARM6 eventually...

Sync is working on my ARMv6 device (Republic Wireless AOSP/CM7 LG Optimus S). I have access to another ARMv6 device to verify shortly.

That's good news since our phones are very similar, but still no luck here.
The MacBook is sending the data to the sync server, the phone is paired and connected, the sync account is active, everything looks good except that Fennec doesn't seem to know anything about the sync'd data (bookmarks, passwords, history).

Just verified on another Republic Wireless LG Optimus S that Firefox Sync is working as expected (Well... at least for that device...).

Working! After several tries, I finally managed to import/sync my data from desktop to phone.
Unfortunately, I changed too many things to be sure of what the actual problem was, but I'll attempt to narrow it down as soon as time permits.
Two things I know I changed were: install in internal memory instead of SD card, and login to the server (with security key) first instead of going directly to the pairing.Other factors, such as addons, Wifi vs. 3G, etc. are probably irrelevant.
Fennec is now back on the SD card and I'll check on whether it keeps on syncing properly.
No other issues to report (yet). Thanks for giving us this version. Firefox in sync with the MacBook will be a pleasure to use.
Update: after 12 hours, sync still behaving as it should.

Glad to hear.
I have Fennec installed on a second external partition with Link2SD and working fine.

can anyone ask or request Ted Mielczarek the guy heading firefox for armv6 to provide any info on progress please.

What exactly are you looking for? Ted and a few other folks have fixed the ARMv6 compilation errors, but haven't yet managed to update the system for ARMv6 nightlies.
Have you tried this build?

Minor glitch: sync doesn't seem to survive a reboot.
I first noticed after my weekly CWM recovery backup, but it happens even with a plain reboot. The sync account vanished and Fennec gave me a new set of pairing codes. It was a simple matter of re-pairing from the MacBook, but in an ideal world, that account should remain just like the Google accounts.
I run Fennec on the SD card (moved with Titatnium Backup) but no data2SD. Anybody else have that problem?

It is not crashing and also connecting normally but main issue with me is that its only showing white pages after loading successfully as i can see new icons in title bar. Any idea why so? my phone is samsung galaxy3

Sync has survived reboots, reinstallations, and updates for me, but if I uninstall and reinstall the app sync has disappeared once. Not sure what the magic combo is, unfortunately.

Somehow it seems that sync is starting too early in the boot process. I'm still trying to figure out where the Fennec sync account is stored and therefore when it becomes available. I wonder if the official ARMv7 builds behave differently or if those sync issues are more generic. Either way it's not a show stopper.

It is under Settings > Accounts & Settings with your Gmail accounts, IIRC.

Yes, that's where it appears, but after a reboot it's gone and I haven't figured out yet where it might live in Titanium backups so that I could restore it.

Ah! Yeah... that would explain why it isn't working after a reboot, but I don't know why it would be missing (???).

[APP][5.0+] Focus by Firefox

I saw this posted and decided to compile it for myself. Maybe some other people would like to try it out as well.
This is taken directly from source with no modifications.
Firefox Focus for Android
Browse like no one’s watching. The new Firefox Focus automatically blocks a wide range of online trackers — from the moment you launch it to the second you leave it. Easily erase your history, passwords and cookies, so you won’t get followed by things like unwanted ads.

Updated as of: July 11th, 2018
Focus has switched to full Gecko rendering now - they also have aarch64 and ARM versions, so I have compiled one of each. Builds are debug again due to apk signing!
Downloads can now be found in the "downloads" tab of this project.

Yeah it seems like it's still in early days. If you look at the git log they are going to be adding Sync soon, and possibly tabbed browsing. I love the look and feel of it though!

Two actions that I tried to do was open something in a background tab and also share a picture. Couldn't do either. I'm hoping that this can be successful as a more lightweight and privacy centric version of the main browser.

Yeah the options are very limited. You can share a page via the menu and open in another browser... but that's pretty much it right now. I do have to stay it's *very* fast in benchmarks with Webkit though, which is promising.

Updated the WebKit version.
Some of the changes include showing the number of blocked objects on the current page, as well the trashcan icon in the taskbar is now the Focus icon (Firefox logo).
Seems like they are changing things often. I've put a request for them to add some sort of versioning in their commits so we know if anything has changed.

Didn't the Gecko version get any love?

I can update the gecko version if you want it's just not as fast as the WebKit version.
[Edit]: I've updated all versions, including a new "beta" APK with some of the debug code removed. Note that there is only a "beta" release for the WebKit version at this time.

I have to say it's a very smooth browsing experience! I installed the WK beta version. Compared to traditional Firefox, this feels lighter and butter smooth, even though there are features missing. Very interesting how it'll turn out.

Thanks for these builds.
The WebView version does not have an independent engine though, it's basically just another Android WebView browser, and it will crash immediately without some form of WebView installed.

Google it! Press Release for iOS Version
It's a browser that deletes stuff as you go and blocks trackers. I've been waiting for this on Android since launch on iOS. Thanks OP! :good:
