If you want to continue using this Eris port based version, feel free.
DOWNLOAD 3.4
PLEASE SEE BOTTOM OF THE POST FOR AN EXCHANGE HOTFIX. THANKS TO ANON2212!
Thank you for your support, and for your kind donations thus far.
If you like my work, and can afford to donate a couple of dollars to buy me a Red Bull, please use the link below!
I'm really looking forward to your feedback.

Looks awesome, and if its as stable as you say then its gonna stay on my phone, will test it today/tomorrow and let you know!

Great work! Does it support Live Wallpapers?

Sense has FC'd on me once in 2 days. Unsure of the cause, but unable to replicate!
Edit - No livewallpaper... sorry. I'll look into it.

works perfect!!! but I can't find exchange in this Rom :-(

Im testing and is ok. Can you make a version with spanish.

Thank you very much

Exchange is necessary!

market
is market fully worked(paid apps etc?????)
if so i gonna try it tomorrow or so.... (A)

hi i am just loading this now it looks great and im looking forward to testing it out cheers

Hello, I've just downloaded and installed the ROM, and I have to say....
You sir, have done an amazing job, this is so stable and nice and also fast.
I like what you did in this ROM, you have done a better job than the others in my opinion, your ROM and MoDaCo are the most stable ROM's I've used so far.
Keep up the good work ^^
"note" I have used all of the other ROM's posted in this forums.

It really works good, no FCs!!!! But please, add Exchange!

and market? is twidroid etc in the market ??

Market and Market enabler work.

Nice work, Lockscreen and Genie widget doesn't work for me

Loving the Rom man!!! brilliant, fast and everything is working fine. Am i ment to have the standard Android keyboard? where has my HTC one gone?

network location
Anybody tried flashing NetLoc-signed to this to see if Network Location via cell towers works after?
I am gonna give it a try in a sec; but that is one slow download. Any objection to mirrors being created?
Is this at all AOSP 2.1-r1 based?
I'm learning to live with the standard Android keyboard because it has voice input... still like the HTC IME for the long-press for numbers and symbols though...

APPS2SD
Hi,
Can someone elaborate on the APPS2SD instructions... do I do abd shell reboot recovery, then type the commands in the first post? I got permission errors...
Thanks
Phil

Meschle's o2 Premier Plus rom coming soon - RELEASED

Meschle.........
After reading yor comments on the ongoing ROM poll, elsewhere on the Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325872
I have to ask what is in store in your new ROM 02 Premier Plus?? Is there a time scale for its' release yet?
I have tried all the ROMS that come and go on these boards and am still very pleased with Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE - Full, I think it is the most stable ROM so far...
Can you spill the beans on your plans...
It will be released over the weekend - final testing now.
Includes updated audiomanager (same skin) but now plays when in standby mode.
Most of the apps are included from artemis touch full including hbutton setup, notem,1 calc lite, tpcmp, xnview pcm keyboard....
The ability to add cube by cab if required (blue design)
Still has 51mb total storage memory and 27mb free program memory after soft reset.
It runs as well as standard version
thx
i am waitting
What a guy, that's what you call a prompt reply.
Looking forward to giving it a spin.

It will be ROM without the cube in default ? And cube will be only separately installable option (cab) ?
From my point of view, it is very good idea !! Cube is nice toy, it is good to amaze friends, but I guess that most of people dont use it. I dont need any cube when I have HTC home ...
I'm looking forward to your new ROM
Hi Meschle
I eagerly await this new rom as your original is my keeper at the moment. A question, you say you are including the CM Keyboard but is the HTC Phonepad staying? For me this is far better for texting and was something I had been wanting scince getting this phone but just couldnt find an app anywhere until I tried your rom (my first), CMKeyboard is very good but still needs some care when using on the move. If not remaining perhaps you can let me know where to get.
Be good to see the new rom, just dont give up life to meet your publics demands
Thanks for your work so far

Heres the htc touch phone pad.
Also i would like to see this rom without touchflo as i read some people including me can't get it to work properly.
other than that this first version rocks big style. i prefered the mms/sms all in one also (i know some dont agree with me but hey, personal prefs)
Last few days - being bed ridden - had all the opportunity to install, re-install and re-re-reinstall all the roms circulating...I finally settled on the O2 Premium ROM - not because - I am not a fan of Tom's - His ROM was fantastic - the Artemis too was superb ! but my preferences lies in the fact that - if I dont use something - no point having on the phone.
My 2 cents on new ROM;s that come up -
The Lite version along with the reduced apps - should also exclude the Cube ! - I have been using the Toms 4.0 for ages and realized that I had next to never used the Cube. The HTC Home page suffices more than ever on that is required instantly.
Secondly - Apps like Acrobat Reader LE - should also be left out - to be installed based on individual preferences - it is 1.38MB in size and can be run from the storage card - so I see no reason to have it on the main memory !
All said and done - I think the ROM's provided by Mark and Tom are great and I applaud their efforts.
The Orbit/Artemis/Dopod - would'nt be the same without their efforts and the support of all their collegues.
Cheers
Dev
Thanks Meshle, your Rom is my favorite. Keep on.
PremiumPlus version now released - mirrors of the rom appreciated.

Same here. Love it so far !! Especially the MENU button with the shortcut to SMS !! I have an O2-SMS Flatrate and need quick access to sms
Pretty fast ROM. I am very happy with it.
Changed the DialerButtons though.
Thanks to guys like you and Tom..you make life easier
We aim to please
Out of interest what did you change the dialer buttons too?

Man, I've been playing around with this ROM now and it's my new favourite !!! Really finger-friendly and intelligent !!! Congrats, mate !!!!!
Meshle
You're O2 ROM is my favorite and it's staying on my phone. I would like the audio manager to play in sleep mode, but I just spent 2 days configuring my phone to my liking. Is there a registry edit to make the audio player play in suspend mode or is this somthing that requires the new ROM? If not, I'll live with WMP for now. Excellent ROM man!

Hi Meschle
Nice one
I downloaded and flashed last night so will play today.
But on 1st impressions it looks just as cool as original but now has all the apps from the Touch, exactly what it said on the tin!
And it has the HTC Phonepad, I happy
I shall post tonight on how she goes.
Thank you
Is the bug about the batterystatus traylaunch fixed in this new version ?
Anyway, keep the excellent work, thank you so much for your quality releases !

has anyone cooked up a rom w/ system 23025 or 23028

I really would like to try out the new wm 6.5 systems but i do not know how yo port or cook!! so i was wondering if anyone one has got a rom cooked up that they could share? thanks in advance !!
I am trying to get one brewing but having a hard time porting it. If anyone could help out that would be great. Thanks
I just built one with the 23028 sys. I havent released yet because I'm trying to get GPS working.
As for help, check out ali3nfr3ak's thread on ppcgeeks Vogue section. Thats where I got it all setup
Andrewwelton my man! Your the ****! I personally don't use the gps on my vogue. If you could post a link here, or if you prefer you could shoot an email, you would make me a very happy person. in the meantime im going to check that post out over at ppcgeeks, the new look is SICK!!!!
Hate to tell you mcluvn, but 23028 is really buggy and all the large style menus are TOO big. But, if you really, really want to try it pm me.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=69530
There are ROMs there with 23028.

Personally I used it on a touch pro its still very much in beta and very buggy/unusable. Believe me when I say its not worth it. I was considering slapping rom together using the new "23034" build just to play with it thou

Weird, I've been using a 23028 build on my Touch and it is one of the fastest ROMs I've ever used and has no bugs (there is one issue with the OK and X button graphics), is fully usable, and stables. In fact, many of the big WM sites have said 23028 and 23034 are some of the fastest ROMs out there.
Maybe you got a buggy/bad one, or it was bogged down with additional stuff from the Chef.
I did find a couple of roms w 23028 here and over at ppcgeaks. I tested them all out and yes they were all pretty fast but with all the bars and menus being so big they just got in the way and block a lot of stuff. I will try to find the links to the roms I have tried and post them here so others who would like to try for themselves can do so. if you guys could to that would be great. thanks everybody

This is true. With the menu bars reworked, and the resizing of certain elements, some apps do not work correctly.

AOSP 2.0.1 for HTC Hero

I have moved this post to HTCPedia, where I can have a bit more control over the moderation. Please continue to follow development here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1528
Great, booting now
First impression:
REALLY fast, can find Twidroid free(not the pro) so not all apps are working(i think)
but it's a lot better then the Sense...
This is great! Flashing this now.
Btw it has all Google Apps right?
Thanks!
Also, how soon can we expect working Camera?
yeah all works, can find a lot of programs(i have 2 apps now that i can't find, taskiller FULL and Twidroid Pro, but free editions of those are available)
HTC_IME.apk won't work gives a FC, looking for a dutch dictionary (A)
Thanks! Good job!
How about HTC Widgets, Clock and Calendar?
Great!!!!
Hi... seems like a good ROM.... whilst you might be working on it... would love it if u can possibly add in A2SD... that would be amazing. When should we expect the new ROM
Thanks
you've made my day!!!!!! cheers
Thanks, This is going on my hero tomorrow

are gone, it's a AOSP, that is without HTC stuff!!!
so NON Sense, no htc keyboard, no .............................
Absolutely fantastic. This is the fastest user interface I have ever experienced on any of my phones ever. Including my iphone 3G.
I now have almost everything I need in this ROM and I don't think I will try any other ROM until HTC releases their ROM. I might not even try that. I love vanilla Eclair (with sugar on top).
The only thing that annoys me is that my Exchange calendar still not synchronizes. Wonder why? But I can fix this via the Market. Not for free, though. :/
And, theres the issue with the camera. I guess that will be fixed pretty soon, though.
I have tested a bit, so its really damn fast . Camera not working like said in the topic, the Youtube apps seems non working too. If someone can confirm too.
But really good work . I hope you caontinu this Amazing work
Edit: About the youtube app, the application laucnh correctly but when i try to play an video the screen is black.

confirm, i hear the sound, but the screen is only black....
Video playback is unusable. Trying to play .mp4's from my sd card with meridian and it lags so badly that it is unusable.
The youtube application works, but I only get a black screen when I start playing a video.

Yes, I can confirm. You could add Meridian player for your videos.
Great work BTW dev. I like the cleaness and simplicity of this ROM, its also quite quick.
Also voice search is non usable
nice work.
Is it just me experiencing lag while swiping between homescreens?
ismaskin, I'm experiencing that lag too.
Also, isn't this the Moto Droid one? I like the AOSP 2.0 better, but I guess the sync problems killed that for me. Any way to get the sync to work on 2.0 now that its working on this? Somehow strip from this and attach to that?

Pls notice, that application inside rom are compressed and takes less space than installed after.So this way can provide more free space for usage by including them into rom.
Sure Opera, Office and many others can be downloaded later, cos anyway they will be updated after some time.As for me i dont like Opera.

I agree but for bigger apps only. I prefer that small important tweaks and utilities such as notifblinker, nullKB, htcCommMngr, etc should stay.
Hi heineken,
Is it possible to unbind both left and right Hardware softkeys so that they will become available in the systems button mapping? I hate AEButtonsPlus because it has slight delay in execution.

HTC Aria users please wait .will release at monday.
This is brilliant news! I'm not a developer but I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to jump in and port it to the Hero. Can't wait for some ROM's to start popping up.
My Personal Experience of this ROM
Camera does not work for sure
ROM is very smooth, boot time is much faster than Sense 2.1! Around 30 seconds for me.
Some small visual changes which are nice.
Facebook for HTC Sense works!
First boot is in chinese, if you can do the setup in chinese then go to Language and change to English. However this is American English, I'm sure somebody will port over UK English.
One little thing I'm missing is MENU to unlock lockscreen which is a little VillainROM thing, I'm sure they'll add that.
Apps just seem to.. open near enough instantly!
It has a WAP Browser LOL, removed that.
Wi-Fi doesn't work as mentioned above.
It has a goapk bootscreen and a GoMarket.
Has some new HTC apps: News,App Sharing, HTC Marketplace (?), Notes, Videos
It's good so far.
Man 3 days Why not now?
Hmm using google I found out that you're probably a Chinese developer and "/media/rom/tenfar/HTC/ROM/LIBEIMG_Liberty_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.32.405.1_Radio_4 7.52.35.18_7.13.35.05_release_154177_signed.zip" is probably the last part of a URL but I cannot figure out the first part

Hey I'm narrowing it down Is it possible to find it anywhere online?
Sounds sweeeeeeeeeeeeet Thanks man.
Hope u can upload it fast! There also devs outside XDA who are intersted it, CFreak knows who i mean. They can also fix some things.
This rom is not even for hero
http://nadavi.ru/descr/htc/a6380-gratia/descr-40.php
Nobody says this. But it is easy to port (same resolution) so we can have sense on froyo.
but it works for hero
Great news, hope you can upload it soon
can you post this rom as it is for us HTC Aria Users? This rom should run as it is on an aria. If so either post in the aria developer forum on this site or pm the link to me. Thanks in advanced.
Wow nice work man!
I really hope this is real! And give it to some good devs, like the VillainRom team, they offer really great work to everyone, or just send it directly to Ninpo ;-)
Nice work!
Please upload ASAP, I could port this to the eris.

Wise Words First post has been updated btw And to the guy on first page i'm sure that 'un-named dev' p) Will very soon get his hands on it
The wifi probably doesn't work because you need a matching kernel/wifi module. You device might not have the same wifi as the gratia. Try a cyanigenmod kernel/wifi module with it. Also if you can post the original rom for others to look at I'd be grateful.
