Definitely Working/Current Features:
- Calls in and out
- EXTREMELY FAST
- Data Connection

Guessing this is from my release then
Awesome! On first boot now, looking good so far.
booting now, takes a loooonnnggg time
booting now..
why the nexus boot?
Hello, this version goes for Spanish heros? gsm?
Thanks
Sounds great, really looking forward to trying it. Think I'm gonna wait to read some feedback from the more adventurous guys before I flash it though
I can't access http://villainrom.co.uk/, get a server not found error. Could someone mirror it?
EDIT: Hm, it works fine from my phone...
any idea how to ifx the wifi? i can try it (maybe you can copy > past the fix behnaam send you?
should I avoid..
Clearly this is a port from cdma hero, I am on v4b2 right now and was not reflecting if it was a port for cdma or gsm, witch one is it ? Am I going to suffer any slowdowns in internet connection using the villain rom series... ? since the gsm radios utilize hsdpa they are suposed to give you quite a speed improvement for the internet connection right ?

This is a GSM ROM. It's been ported FROM a CDMA ROM, which is why there will be some hardware bugs at first, but this is definitely meant for GSM Heros.

Awesome, let the flashparty begin
thank you very much to prove.
Am I being over optimistic, but as this is a Hero build (albeit a CDMA one) does this mean we can use the kernal? Do we final have a kernal that won't kill our batteries?

A bit optimistic I wouldn't try it, as it won't work, and it can apparently cause damage by frying your radio.
So don't try it, unless someone reliable can confirm why it would be different, and safe...
How's youtube working for everyone?

It's all good. Just wanted to make sure. I figured you guys could use this and was about to PM one of you, but looks like you figured it out.
Anyone fancy an untested potential (but unlikely) solution to no wifi?
The download has not been tried, will likely bootloop, but if you fancy trying it, nandroid first!
At your own risk: www.villainrom.co.uk/trythis-signed.zip
@damageless:
you got any ideas what could be causing our wifi not to work? Coming up wifi driver not initialised or something like that in logcat.
hello, just a quick message before i go bed
rom is really go so far, only bugs ive noticed are:
already said, no wifi
same gallery rotation bug
and the accelorometer doesnt seem to work
oh yes and i just got a force close on the weather widget.
its totally stable and fast apart from that
cheers and night!

This is my port of Cyanogen's latest Eclair build, v5.07-stable.
It is basically mssmison's 5.07-test3 build updated, I used the same process he did to port this one.
Included Apps:
-Connectbot
-Astro
-RogueTools
-LinPack
-HomeSwitcher
Notes:
-No major problems found so far (besides Eclair-specific problems like the Camera not working).
-Speed is comparable to other Eclair builds, maybe even a bit zippier at times.
-It should be fully compatible with any themes/mods made for Cyanogenmod v5.07-stable. (Although my attempt at flashing this theme sent my phone into an "android.power wakeup" loop, so be cautious!)
--Darkstar theme isn't working either, thx for trying @thebulletfromhell!
-It is set to 120DPI by default, so if running anything other than 320x240, you'll have to use RogueTools to adjust it. I am currently running it at 320x240x120dpi and haven't experienced many problems, except the top and bottom of the Dialer are cutoff, button's still reachable though. (If someone wants to help me fix this, please do, I just don't know where to start)
-Wifi support for the Kaiser is built in, should work out of the box!
-Starting with v1.2, Userinit.conf is added to the root of your SD, by default it has 16MB of Compcache, but this can be adjusted by editing the file.
Download! [Last updated on 5/29/10]
Changelog:
v1.3
-Removed userinit.conf, now everything is run directly from /system/bin/userinit.sh
-32MB Compcache by default
-Removed overclocking from the get-go. You can set it manually via RogueTools.
-Userinit.sh now renice's com.android.phone to try and improve ringing delay.
v1.2.1
-Removed redundant wlan.ko
-Replaced wlan.ko with kallt_kaffe's
-Reverted a change to userinit.sh that was causing awful performance
v1.2
-Removed Dropbox, Speedtest, Twicca, Shazam, 3Banana Notes, and LiveWallpapers
-Added Camera back (Fixes FC when trying to crop a wallpaper)
-Fixed Facebook Sync
-Userinit.conf is added to the root of SD card on first boot. This allows you to control Compcache, swap, and many other settings.

Thanks go out to mssmision for his port+quick guide to porting, Cyanogen for the build, and all the other developers that worked on getting Android running on this phone! You guys have made this phone so much more usable.
Woah, it's weird being in a different forum.
What is updated in this new version (1.1)? I'm still running the first one you posted in the Vogue forums (on a Vogue) and it's working great.
Cool!
Gonna try this one out.
Thanks a lot!

The updated version has wifi working for Kaiser, and some compcache tweaks done to /system/bin/userinit.conf. The first version I think I disabled compcache entirely, and it really showed once you got the build fully loaded.
any screens? how to install themes on Kaiser? Little guide please...
just downloaded going to give it a try
all live wallpapers dont work and show force close (exclude polar clock)
but its cool and fast (default it set at 450MHz and i set it to 500MHz)
Bench at 500MHz: MFLOPS:2.141
Times: 2.53s
Norm Res: 3.36
Precision: 2.224...
Maybe you add-in many of not neccessary app..
and one very good thing.. i have i think 320x428 and 120DPi in RogueTools. and its less blurry than thats sets in myn
Congrats for good rom.
exist CM with sense 2.1 on kaiser?
Compared to super eclair it has a few advantages:
-language dutch is included and fully working
-more options: look at call settings.
-market is fully working (for now), but no paid apps (super eclair market broke after using a time, not all apps can be found).
But less free ram.
Not really worth upgrading for me (I have 2 kaisers).
i've installed this build on my kaiser and it works great.
tested the wifi, the market, both work great. bluetooth turns on but i haven't had the chance to send or receive any files or to connect it to my wireless headsets.
did not test the data yet.
installed helix launcher and i think it moves a little bit faster than the regular home screen.
thank for the upload

Here's a guide to installing to NAND. The build is not themed at all, so you can check out the official Cyanogen thread for screenshots, they should look identical (besides a smaller res).

Yeah I just noticed the Live Wallpapers crash, didn't try this out before. Not sure if it's possible to fix it, I don't remember them working on any other Eclair builds.
Also, I noticed that /system is running low on space, so I will definitely try to trim some fat by removing pre-installed apps.

Not that I know of. But there is a QVGA Android phone with Sense coming out sometime this summer, and I'm sure someone will attempt to port it.
From the vogue thread...
Great build, I'm running it right now, and it thus far seems to be fast and stable! (bumped up the o/c to 500)
Two pieces of feedback...
If you can get facebook sync to work with the most current facebook app (the one with the "inbox" button rather than the "take photo" button it would be amazing. As of now, the only way to get facebook sync to work is to run the Moto Droid apk, which is the previous version.)
Anyway to get full market from the getgo? I have marketenabler working, but it isn't always consistent.
That being said, amazing build. Good work.

@GeJohnO: Looks like this is a known issue with the original Cyanogen
A few known issues;
* Facebook from market breaks sync for Market users (see forum for alternative apk) - only on Dream, Sapphire is OK. Blame Facebook.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'll look into including whatever alternate APK in the next build.
Also I found that taking out the Camera app causes Gallery to FC when trying to crop a wallpaper, so I'll fix that as well.
I just got a text message from the 24th of this months with super ecalir lite, I don't know if this version hzs those issues too?

The darkstar theme hasn't been released for 5.0.7 stable. The most current release is for test5. This may be why it's not working for you
I tried mssmison's test 3 out, and it was problematic. A lot of stuff would end up resetting the phone, back to the start up animation. Haven't tried this one yet, but my experience with Eclairs have been bad so far.
Wish there was a way to run Android on both NAND and SD cards. That way, I can test them out on the SD card, without destroying my NAND installation.
Running this port since yesterday and I must say I'm really impressed. Fast, responsive and also it seems not to drain battery as fast as other builds.
Any chance of getting Corporate Calendar in the next version (currently Exchange sync works only for Mail and Contacts in this build).
Version 1.2 posted! Changelog in the OP.
I tried adding the modded Market, but it kept FC'ing whenever an app would go to install. Looking at the thread, it seems like a known issue, without a fix that I could find

Suggestions for 1.3
- Remove /system/etc/wifi/wlan.ko (not needed)
- Replace wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko with the attached version (I believe it works better for Polaris users)
I was about to suggest increasing the wlan scan interval but I noticed that you hade allready done that.
I've had problems with builds that have sensors.msm7k.so all by itself so I added the sapphire sensors before I installed v1.1 as a precaution but I'll try without doing that once I reinstall with v1.2 and I'll let you know how it goes.
Hi guys.
You may be aware that cdma heros have an alpha release sense rom (DecaFX) ported from the wildfire. Now so do we!
I spent a short time porting the cdma rom to our gsm heros. (Its a raw port, nothing removed from the cdma version). So Its buggy, just like the cdma version, but it works.
Link to the cdma release:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795444
This is based on floyo (mainly to get hardware working), so credits to floyo's author, erasmux, and also to those over in cdma who did the port from wildfire in the first place.
So what works in this:
Not alot on user testing
What doesnt:
Wifi
gsm
data
probaly loadsa other stuff too
Whats buggy:
Everything software wise i suppose - Massive graphical glitches
Link:
Hotfile: http://hotfile.com/dl/76229102/3c67210/SenseFroyoghurt.zip.html
Rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/42539581...Froyoghurt.zip
Megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L5H0G7SS
Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?jq1ivp6st6cdd1p
NOTE: I dont really have any intent to update this rom myself, other than perhaps based on updates from the cdma release (assuming they dont mind), but its here to provide a working release for anyone who wants to try it.
FINALLY: Although this rom is entirely safe and shouldnt brick your phone (it contains nothing that can cause a brick) i take no responsibility if it damages your phone.
AWESOME. Have to try. Waited so long for Sense 2.2
cool! downloading now (WOW that's a crappy slow hosting service hahaha)
I must try this, I like the name lol
i'll try it now thanx man hope more than one version
anyone running it yet? I'm still nandroiding my old rom...
Would love to give my opinion but I still have two days left on the download! lol

Very nice initiative
Personally I prefer open source projects but if you get this working properly I think you'll make a lot of ppl happy
flashing froyoghurt (love/hate that name LoL)
booting....
praying it doesn't brick my phone...
after 4 minutes of animated android bootscreen I'm still praying...
it's alive!!!
holy graphical layout issues batman!
but VERY cool to finally see some updates to sense after all this time
even if they're not aligned quite right in many places.
major issue. wifi doesn't work (known issue in cdma thread), but can't go into apn list either - it FCs in my settings. so no data, which means no anything.
oh well, it's still very cool to see the improvements to sense!
I wish the bloody sense rosie home app would do screen rotation though... you KNOW they can do it faster than vanilla android launchers can because it's been working great in slide ports forever.
silly htc
My Feedback :
Really good work but there are alot of problms in homepage the menu icon above the phone icon and numbers in the dialer just 1 2 4 5 7 8 * 0 and in the setup there is a problem to in the size of font and screen size i mean the skip and back icons doesn't showing correctly
a big problem there is no network for my gsm ( Just No Service ) and when i go to the network options and choosing the mobile network i got FC ( force close )
thats all thing i tried hope to fix it
Big sry for my English hope u understand me !!!!
broken camera doesn't work tooooooooooooooo bad
Can anyone upload a mirror? Still have 23hrs left on my download.
This is a legend port, aiming to be a clean Sense 2.2 release with at least all hardware stuff working. The camera is a tough cookie and for now I can't get it to work. Might find time to continue to work on this in the future, but it will take time if ever.
Native (froyo) app2sd should work for apps which support it. Old school app2sd should work if you have a ext2/3/4 partition.
Default speed is 614/352 (smartass) - use SetCPU or similar app to change this.
Download:
Sengle-0.7.2 (Multiupload)
Sengle-0.7.2 (Desean)
Instructions:
I have flashed this over my old version (Sengle 0.7) and it seems to work fine.
If you have problems which are not in the known issues, you might want to try to do a full wipe (data, cache and ext partition) and install it cleanly.
Note: even if you do not wipe anything the dalvik cache is rebuilt, so the first boot will be very slow - have patience. Additionally, I had one restart of the sense and sound not working on the first boot. It was fixed after the second reboot.
Changes:
- Compcache enabled (should help avoid sense reloading)
- JIT enabled
- Wifi hack cleaned up (no more "error" when disabling wifi)
- RTL fix updated (also fixes Gmail and such now)
- Reboot menu (same one that was optional in 0.7)
- Cleanups by Elelinux for the setup wizard and widgets, as well as the identity of the hero and keypad.
- New install script by Elelinux
Regarding JIT: I have enabled JIT, even though the legend official sense, which this ROM is based on, is not built for sense.
HTC, wakeup! JIT was added in 2.2, and today 2.3 was released....
Anyway let me know if you find any trouble with this.
Known Bugs/Problems:
OpenGL issues
Camera
Wifi hotspot
LWP
Google navigation exits when showing the map, GPS Status exits randomly, Google Sky Map fails to load
Sound with navigation programs (or something like this)
Voice recorder says storage full.
Notification lights problems (I thought I got this one working )
Let me know if you find any further/new major problems (not just another 3rd party which does work)....
Future
For now I have given up on the major problems with this ROM. I will try to find some time to get back to this in the future but I'll be surprised if there is another update any time soon (I have a lot on my plate right now both in hero/android development and in RL).
History
Sengle-0.7 (Multiupload)
Sengle-0.7 (Desean)
Reboot Menu (included in 0.7.2)
RTL Fix (superseded by new fix in 0.7.2)
Compcache enabler (included in 0.7.2)
Thanks
This ROM is based on the MoDaCo r4 release for the legend. It was prepared in collaboration with capychimp and seo, and much of this port is thanks to them . Some cleanups and fixes by Elelinux (also install script ).
Cool dude! Trying it out now!
Oh no.. me second.. anyways will check this out now
Edit:
Flashing took a while but booted just fine.
camera is not working as stated
Wifi connected brilliantly and displayed my network tmobile uk. so looks good
I dont do app2sd so cant comment on that
will try this tommorow and let you guys know
I think Erasmux and Ele should join forces.. you both can do wonders for us poor Hero guys
Keep up the good work and thanks a million !!

I think BT audio is one thing.
What are the big problems with bihariel's froyo sense other than BT audio and camera (which is still broken )?
But do note, this is a completely different build. bihariel's froyo sense is based on the Aria port and this is a legend port....
bihariel's froyo is laggy as hell, and froze all the time when i tried it out, so i hope your work is much better
cuz im using your froyo and thats awesome ROM so i expect this ROM is also gut
How does it work? Is it smooth? Is there problem with caller recognisation as in bihariel's Sense? What about battery?

Sorry have no idea about any of those. For me its slower than the CM6-based ROMs (like floyo) - but what can you do sense is pretty but slow . Too soon for me to know about battery life.
Let me know if you find any problems (except camera) and I'll see if I can do something about it, although my powers are limited because we don't have sources for sense....
Great news !
I will flash it in the morning and report
Good work !
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Greetings,
Flashing now to see how it goes,
I have been after 2.2 with sense for some time now but was never sure,
How ever i know you have done some nice work erasmux,
Will report back soon.
Erasmux thank u very much fir this great work. The ROM is really fast. Keep it up..
Have to say Erasmux
On first impressions this is sweet,
No major issues other than the cam,
All else seems to work grand.
thanks for the great work... no major issues so far..
will take it out later and how it performs...
Thanks for the great work! The ROM is really nice!
So far here's what I can see:
- Camera and Wifi hotspot don't work, as you mentioned.
- LWP don't work. Won't even show a preview.
- Google Navigation exits as soon as the map appears.
- GPS Status app (installed from market) exits randomly but sometimes manages to get a fix and keep running
- Much like in the Aria-based ROM there seems to be a problem with the time setting. My region is in DST and when I set the clock to update from the network it keeps changing from DST and back. It seems there is some "fighting" going on where the networks sets the correct DST time zone and something comes along and changes it back to non-DST.
Other than that everything seems fine.
Sensors, keypad backlight, Wifi, calls, 3G data, market, HTC apps and widgets seem to work very well.
Overall it's pretty stable and fast.
The ROM works great except I found after launching several programs, returning to home will see the HTC white screen then restart of Sense home.
btw, the Linpack score is around 2.56 with default CPU clock setting. Is JIT not enabled in Sense 2.2 ROMs?
Thumbs up Erasmux, thanks for this. Slick

Sense (even 2.2) is not compatible with JIT.

Please Remember this is Test Beta and will have bugs.. its not a stable Release
Hello,
Here is the beta3 version of the upcoming CM 7.0.0 for HTC Hero GSM based on Gingerbread (android 2.3.2).
Download CM7 Beta3:
http://www.4shared.com/file/goHWiyZ6/update-cm-700-Beta3-Hero-signe.html
Gapps:
gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip from here http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
ADD ONS by other Devs - added at end of post
1. Smoother Graphics Zip by l0st.prophet (NEW)
2. Updated the status bar and other icons, radio buttons, check boxes etc. for CM7
Note
- Before flashing make sure you do a total wipe data/cache wipe (expect if coming from beta1)
- over-clocking at 748 freezes the device for me, 710 is ok using smartass governor
Testers needed:
As I do not have a HTC Hero under my hand every time, I need testers to report back on each new build (along with a logcat, for each report). Follow me on Twitter http://twitter.com/loxdev
Please carefully read the thread and especially the first post to not report the same bugs every-time

I only just put cronos 0.0.9 on...
Should I give this a go?
Cronos is a bit slow. How's the speed on this one?
Progress!
I'm downloading now
There's no funny screen off animaton ;(
Is flykernel 12a supported?
Wooo! Im gonna try this out right away
Internet calling is working! !
I did it get it to work on cronos gb rom.

I second what dkelley said. Also I'd like to add that drawables look like triple **** in this version.
wow LoL... from lox's cm website link:
"Note
- Before flashing make sure you do a total wipe data/cache wipe
- overclocking at 748 freezes the device for me, 710 is ok using smartass governor"
well duh
don't try that at home guys - keep it in the 651 or 691 top speed are for most people please or your phone will not like you in the morning.
If I remember correctly lox's phone (well, assuming his girlfriend's phone that he tests this stuff on is his old phone) is one of those freaky 748-safe phones. If that's true then what he's saying here is that it's not able to run at his max clock speed. and if that's true and your own phone can often run stably @ 710, then you might find that you need to run @ 691 or lower with this rom.
that certainly coincides with my experience with cgb and with most froyo roms using the 2.2 JIT engine.
I'd hate to read about a bunch of phone lockups because they followed the OP's cpu speed comments on their own phones.

well that's good to hear
Progress - indeed. I think he said that this feature was untested but listed it as working - which probably means that it works in other builds so he hoped it would work. Maybe I'm wrong - but I'm sure he'll be happy to read that it works!
This thread is not a general, "air your gripes" thread.
Can we discuss solely the ROM mentioned in the OP, and keep on topic, please folks...
3D gallery is missing. Is there a way to add it?
Good work MODERATOR. Ok, some reviews here. Despite my apparent dislike for what Lox did, this ROM looks good if not as good as some other GB ROMs I have tried, you know which ones.

Worked out of the box, don't see many differences with cronos 0.0.9, except that sip calling works fine, the icons are tuned a bit better, skinning works, power widget was modified with new icons, more cm options are available. The disadvantage of CM7 beta 1 is that there is no apps2sd, but i'm sure that can be added quite easily in a rom based upon it.
The real fix still to arrive for any hero 2.3 rom is the general speed and smoothness in launcherpro/menu's and for the animations to work fine I guess. So far I prefer this cm7 release because of the little tweaks and improvements that cm7 brings.
Yeah, it looks stable and fast!
This is more buggy than Cronos Ginger 0.0.9 already 2 resarts and wifi is buggy im going back to Cronos Ginger

Have been playing music for two hours, recovering apps, installing stuff and it's been rock solid for me at 633mhz.
When i try to make a call, i get this error: The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
Solution???
DROPPED SUPPORT FOR VIVOW.
As we do not feel comfortable anymore in these forums, we will definately drop support for the Incredible 2.
We were wanting to give you more then a fully working one V port (such as a full sense 4 port), but since we have the feeling the community doesnt want us here, we will leave Inc2 forums.

Leedroid tweaks need to be ported, but they belong to full sense 4 so actually no use on One V rom
Downloading now. I expect the main bug to be the camera but will report any I find
Added some screenshots

Thanks for your report. i'm going to take a look at them
I think English US not appearing is normal, since it has been built from the EU RUU
Just two questions:
- Going to check about the data. is Verizon using CDMA or GSM network technology?
- What do you mean with borked?

verizon uses cdma (although this is a world phone too), you ll need to update the build.prop's data path accordingly in addition to the correct reference-ril.so lib
wifi wont properly connect...since i was also using the virtuous prima kernel in my latest sense 4 port i ran into the same issues....my semi conclusion is that they included the wrong bcm module w/ the rom zip
english us can be added easily by modding the default.xml

Thanks. What kernel would you recommend to give the Inc2? CM9 kernels also work on the Desire S so it might work too on the Inc2.

the cm9 or tiamat kernel is ok, but its not nearly as stable as the virtuous one unfortunately (i used cm9 in first 4 versions of mine) which lead to some sod issues, overheating, and freezes
virtuous kernel source isn't the easiest to to build from the way its set up on github, and i asked corcor to rebuild the kernel for me to get the proper modules, but it wouldnt boot...ill ask cjward or one of the guys for help with it next week if i remember to
Hotfix 1 attatched to this post.
Install this right after a fresh flash.
It has been tested and it works. It will be included in the next version.

Are those the ONLY known bugs? (I know this sounds newbie but want to make doubly sure!)
I am trying this out today! Wanted to try some sense 3.5/4.0 like OpenSense4 but it has bucket loads of bugs. So I am very surprised that this is as good as AOKP, bug list wise... Thank you djpbx and Floatshow!!!
P.S: More people thanked post #2 than #1. Come on, people! Give the OP some love.. He worked on it too... (I expect equal # of thanks on both)
