Hmm i may try it but i've got a question. Is the notification bar just like in Russell's Vanillain ROM (Sense Style)?? or is it plain android style?
Android style
Great dwonloading now and will try it
Thank You.
OK. Waiting for feedback.
Re: [ROM][12/04/2010][Vanilla 2.1][VERY Stable] VanillaEclair 0.1

it will attract people to download your rom

anyway, very good work! keep working on it!
Sent from my Hero using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
So uhm are there any real differences? Or am I just plain stupid and miss them. 5.2 is good enough for everyday use as well....
Note: this is not meant to be rude or anything. It's allways good to see more devs
Man, it's nice to see new faces, but you're not bringing anything new to the table, just a "rehash" of someone's ROM.
Like someone once wrote, proficiency with winzip doesn't make you a dev, and it's sad to see ppl just playing around with winzip, adding a few apks, changing a few lines and posting "new stuff".
I wanted to look the other way, just like I did with the other new "chefs", but hey, guy, you even had the very good idea to add a donate link to your sig., not even reaching 10 posts!
Unless you bring something new, I don't think it's a good idea to post, since it's just spam.
That might come in handy for you: "innovation, not imitation"
I didn't say it is brand new stuff. As I mentioned in the first post, it's based on Vanillain ROM. If you try my version and the original version you'll definately see a difference in both speed and stability.
Really, I don't think this is as useless as you might consider it. Maybe I'm not the only 'vanilla android' fan around here looking for a stable release.
What's with the attitude people... He posted a ROM he thinks is good and he wants to share his work, even if it's not *NEW*...
Download or don't download but give him a break... let people try and feedback, maybe you'll find he didn't just "zip" the ROM...
RaduG thanks for your work and share. I'm into Sense UI so I won't be trying this but again, thanks for sharing!
Ok so here it goes.
Just did a restart after setup and it is fast but switching between screens i a bit slow (will give it some more time). The launcher has only 3 screens "helix" I think you could use a different one.
Oh and the 3G watchdog could be an option. It is useful but i bet not all people would like it.
At the and of the day i think this is a great ROM. Stable and ready to be used as an everyday ROM
Thanks for your feedback.
I've tested different launchers available and the HelixLauncher included in this ROM is the most stable in my oppinion. I will wait for more feedback and if you users like it I will take the apps you don't like out.

It's not a matter of software being new, but seriously, just how many rehashes of base roms shared by other devs were posted?
How many "chefs" DID compile their own custom overlay of aosp?
In fact, nprussel was using mine for quite some time, but didn't react since he really has contributed a lot in these forums; in fact, I'd congratulate him.
Apart from some additional apks, I don't see anything new in here (same old bugs, "features" of other roms based on the leaks)
The one thing that really ticked me off, is the "audacious" donate link for what is, let's face it, a rip atm.
I've taken it off since you first posted. You're somehow right, but i really don't think this is useless. I'm 100% sure this is the most stable Android 2.1 you can download on the forum ATM. Since it is an improvement and i've given credits to the source, i don't think there is a real issue.
Still waiting for feedback.
Could not get it to work, did a full wipe, then flashed.
Then it boots and every single thing that starts crashes: 'sorry ... setup stopped unexpectedly'
I have the latest radio.
Managed to mount my sdcard between all the error screens luckily, so I'll put another ROM onto my phone in 5 minutes.
Strange, a few users tested and everything worked perfect. Please try a full wipe after install and post results. Thanks.
Going to check it.
This is my third rom, so I should now more or less how to install it, but what do you mean with wipe after install? My actions, in order:
put zip on sd card
boot in recovery
wipe whatever I can wipe (system and cache, I do not have an ext partition so no point wiping that)
flash
boot
so which step then?

Yep, i've ran aHero, great build too! But this is more stable and works better with Live Wallpapers.

Welcome to VillainROM
This bit’s the introduction. If you’re not interested in who we are, or how we got here, or are of the TL;DR mentality, then skip this entire section.
I’ve been raging recently. That’s right... raging. I’ve moved house, had NO internet connection (and still have no connection, until the 29th November), and T-Mobile then decided to block my access after 4pm for exceeding my fair usage allowance on my “unlimited” internet package. So yeah, the fact that we’ve even found time to work on and release these ROMs shows how dedicated we are to bringing VillainROM to the masses.
As many of you have noticed, I’m well and truly back in to the world of custom roms, after a few months break over the summer. Believe me, it was well and truly needed. It’s great to be back though.
If you’ve come from a HTC Hero/Desire or Magic, the chances are, you’ve heard of VillainROM. For that reason, I won’t go into who we are in too much detail. Sufficed to say, we’re a hardworking team of collaborative developers, working towards a common goal; to improve on manufacturer’s versions of the Android OS’ and to provide alternative, AOSP versions. We will no longer be providing 'experimental beta' releases, but instead, only releasing ROMs we deem to be 'final'.
So, enough of the "sales" pitch... let’s talk about the ROM!
Before I do, though, I’d just like to take this opportunity to offer a huge message of gratitude to the team at #g2root. Scotty2 and the team worked their arses off for weeks on this, and together they achieved what HTC attempted to make impossible. We all owe them a huge debt of thanks.
Well, we’re a bit later than we’d hoped on the G2 scene, so we thought we’d say hi with a bang. Well, three bangs actually. That’s three ROMs of course; we hope you like them.
The first of the three ROMs is Villision. The other two ROMs which are finished, but undergoing internal testing are coming over the next couple of days.
VILLISION 1.0.0

If you’re looking for speed, and as close to G2 stock/AOSP (without being an AOSP of course) as possible, then this is the ROM for you. Villision is our stripped down version of the G2 Stock Rom, De-odexed and with all T-Mobile branded crap removed.... with HomerSP's and my very own tweaks. We're personally using this as my daily driver, until we get around to ROM number 4, which will be a compiled AOSP build based loosely on CM6.1.
I would like to thank HomerSP of VillainROM for his assistance on this ROM, which is the first ROM we've every worked together on. He's been a legend to work with.
Villision 1.0.0 Features
- Based on OTA G2 Stock ROM
- Custom Power Menu (Reboot & Reboot to Recovery)
- ADW Launcher replaces stock
- Coolbho's 1.497Ghz OC kernel (thanks CM team) - We will be compiling our own range of kernels next week, so expect an update on this.
- Languages added (including GB English - that's right, colour > color)
- De-odexed
- PNG Optimized
- Zip-Aligned
- Dalvik heap tweaks
- WIFI Calling
- Custom wallpaper & bootanimation (Designed by Mikebeechm and animated by HomerSP)
- Removed T-Mobile applications (bloatware)
- Removed all market downloadable apps such as Earth, etc - YOU PICK the apps you want.
NOTES:
Busybox NOT included: If you need it, download it via Titanium Backup’s ‘Problems’ link. It will download and install immediately.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Boot into clockwork recovery
2. Nandroid backup if you're nervous
3. FULL DATA WIPE
4. Flash the ROM
5. Reboot!

What are the widgets, launcher, and theme used in OP's screenshot?
The widgets are some custom icons, not sure what but I am sure Nathan will tell us.
The launcher is launcher pro with custom icons for the dock.
Not sure what you mean by theme? the rom has no theme.

Tried it and when i attempted to revert back to CM 6.1 RC1 it said "MD5" was missing? Anyone else having this issue? God damn it now i can't just revert back to my previous ROM/settings.
What MMS issue? I have no MMS issue. My mrs just sent me one actually.

This is nothing to do with the ROM. Did you Nandroid backup and try to restore that?
Also, what's the exact error, and where is it popping up?

How can this be when I've restored the same exact backup earlier today?

Sounds like something's gone poo-poo on your SD card to me. Again, it cannot be the ROM though.
Thank you, and..
Would you mind telling us a bit more about the forthcoming ROMs? Sense? Non-sense? Etc.
I'm impressed with your website and this ROM posted thus far, but I'm not a "flash-crazy" user. I'd rather know what is coming, if possible, and hold out for a version I'll really put to use.
Thanks again sir.

Right, something went poo-poo minutes after installing this ROM.
Look, i know what i'm doing and the fact that these backups were working prior to installing your ROM means something happened here. I appreciate the work you're doing, but please elaborate how my SD card went "poo-poo" right after installing this ROM.

I had problems similar to yours with checksums, I noticed they happen whenever I don't eject the card from my PC, or whenever I have USB debugging off in the G2
Have you tried plugging it in your PC and maybe trying to "fix" it by the automated windows pop up
(I totally assumed you are using Windows, if not then I may be of no help what so ever

Due to the way xda is, and the split between g2 and z sections I reccomend that if you have any important comments or find any bugs about this rom please post so on the correct section of the VillainRom forums which can be found at www.villainrom.co.uk
Also it might pay to read the g2 post for this very same rom.
LINK - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846376
For xda rule clarification, we will continue to provide support on xda, as per usual. I am just trying to make things easier for all
As i have heard the Z and G2 are diffrent on some ways and few have get problem doing stuff that was z/g2 flagged better ask is this one for pure G2 or will it even work on Z? Maybe some one have try it on a Desire Z and can tell?
I have it running on my DZ absolutely fine. Shame no HTC keyboard. Bring on the Sense ROM lads!

We have never forced OC on anyone in the past so I doubt it would have changed with this rom (I have not flashed it myself yet)
mine was overclocked to 1.42 by default, but setCpu let me change it to stock and loads inbetween. Seems like a really stable overclock too. Maybe it depends on the type of desire you have? I have a euro one.

FroydVillain 1.7.0
This bit's the introduction. If you're not interested in who we are, or how we got here, or are of the TL;DR mentality, then skip this entire section.
Well folks... It's currently snowy here in Scotland. Got an email to say not to try and commute in this morning, as everything was off, so I set about thinking about things to do I did some work, and then decided it was time to get something out based on CyanogenMod 6.1 (pretty much final) for the hero. Based on the last nightly, here we go...
I applied the usual tweaks to it, as this seems to be a pretty good ROM. And the best bit, no wipe required (though it's still a good idea if you can be bothered) if you are coming from FroydVillain 1.6.x. If you are coming from ANYTHING ELSE, it is required. Maybe some other ROM will work with it, but I have no idea, and don't really want to know So if you have trouble and didn't wipe, please wipe before asking for help. Let me say it again...
If you have problems with the ROM or apps or anything else for that matter, go do a wipe before asking for help. It's the first thing you'll be asked to do anyway, so save yourself the time and get a faster answer
This is based on CM6.1's nightly, which I think is meant to be the stable release for the Hero. It's certainly stable enough for my liking
As for what's new/fixed, look at the CM6.1 changelog.
Overscrolling works, apps that whined about the version string should work now, and there's a new call screen from CM that means you don't put people on hold with your ear, when on a call. Plus everything else from Cyanogenmod that got fixed or improved
Before I go onto the ROM, I would like to thank a fair load of people. First of all, all the Cyanogenmod developers. Without them, this ROM would not exist. Big props out to them for their excellent work. Next, the VillainROM developers, including Ninpo for his ARM optimisations in CM6.1, Kendon for his usual behind the scenes scripts and time in setting things up, DMzda for his dedication in helping me test this ROM in the latter stages, MikeBeecham for his artwork and designs used throughout the ROM, HomerSp for his help taking Mike's bootscreen to life, and everyone else who has been there helping... Particular thanks must go to Shen for helping me get this build out to you while I have been so busy recently. Also, big thanks as usual to Lenny, NPRussell, Mike, RaiderX, RichardTrip, Acolwill, Alankila and sorry if I forgot anyone. Their contributions have been too numerous to mention. But this ain't an Oscar speech, so I must stop now.
Finally big props go to Erasmux, whose FlyKernel 11c has been tweaked slightly for performance. Details of the tweaks below...
So here we go...

5. Reboot. At setup screen, give it time to complete optimisation after boot... Should settle down in about 5 minutes, more if you didn't wipe EXT.

Before Reporting Bugs/Errors/Problems/FCs/etc...
In order to help people sooner, and reduce the number of repeat reports, please observe the following before reporting a bug along the lines of "GPS is broken, HTC_IME mod FCs, it won't boot, it's slow, it's got poor battery, this breaks..."
1) Look in post 2 for any updates. Flash any with a version number, there's no need to flash optional ones unless you want to.
2) Search this thread for a keyword. eg. if gps isn't working, search thread for "GPS". If apps are missing from market, search "market". See if it is fixed, or already reported.
3) If there is no patch or fix, turn off the phone, remove your SD card, and boot the phone with no SD card. Does issue persist? If you need a memory card to test the bug, use a blank, freshly formatted spare, with just one partition.
4) If this cures the problem, you need to clear out your SD card. Back up your apps, and wipe apps2sd partition if you use it (Wipe EXT from recovery). See if problem is cured (with SD card inserted in phone). If it is, stop here, and enjoy the ROM.
5) If issue persists after removing SD, turn off phone, insert SD, boot to recovery, nandroid, wipe Data, cache, Dalvik cache. Reflash ROM and all patches. Turn off phone. Remove SD card. Boot.
6) If issue is solved, try with sd inserted now. Looks like you just needed a wipe. If not, please report the bug using the usual procedures. Mention you got to "step 6" with no resolution.
This will alleviate about 80% of bugs, I would estimate, allowing me to work on the remaining 20% not cured by this.
Sweet thanks Pulser another great realese from Team Villain

wow... that was quick! Thank god for snow hehe..
You say no wipe is required if coming from FV1.6.x, so i wont need to back up call log, sms, app data, backup widget positions etc etc? Just put zip file on SD card and flash?
amazing flashing now!
That's what I did no wipe just flashed and all's good : )

Performance no worse than 1.6.
No idea about battery, it's a bit soon yet for people to be able to tell. I see no reason it won't be good though
Thanks for this! I'd been flirting with Floyo after being a FV diehard for a few months, but I've just flashed this ROM and it's looking good so far.

THIS ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE FOR AN UNDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME.
This is a 2.2 Sense ROM. Unfortunately, it still has two bugs, but even so it is usable, stable and fast.
ATTENTION! For those who already have 1.0-rel1 flashed, make sure you backup your data because flashing the ROM will wipe data even if you don't do it from recovery.
Note: There will be no other update until the Camera is fixed. Also, don't expect any updates in the next 1-2 weeks.
See post #2 for changelog and critical information.

What does not work:
- Camera
- Bluetooth audio WITH SOME DEVICES
Just so you know, I'm working hard to fix those issues, so don't panic, this will be updated soon. You might help me find other bugs if you test it. I can guarantee that if you don't need the camera, this ROM can work as an everyday ROM just fine.
What works:
- flash 10
- EXT-A2SD
- Calls, SMS, MMS
- Internet 2G/3G
- WiFi
- GPS/AGPS
- OpenGL
- lights
- accelerometer, sensors
- wired/wireless tethering
... everything else
+ Teeter - I've packed it so you can have a bit of fun?
Instructions:
Flash it and make a cup of coffee because the first boot takes AGES. Don't panic, it will eventually start ).
The custom kernel included is compiled from Erasmux's FlyKernel 12a. I've just enabled my dual-governor configuration and made the changes required by that. Nothing much, so credits to him.
Credits also go to the CDMA Hero devs which made this in the first place.
ChocolateFroyo 1.0-rel2(multiupload)
MD5: d08fb202c3bde7fd5bfb4751bd961fed
READ!!!
1.0-rel2
- fixed lights
- cleaned system - boots faster, runs smoother
- adjusted dalvik heapsize
- added custom kernel with dual-governor configuration(read below for more info)
1.0-rel1
Initial release
About the Dual-Governor configuration:
The default settings are: 352/691 ondemand screenon, 176/352 conservative screen off. This way the battery is conserved while the performance is at its best when you need it. If your phone can't run @691MHz, all you have to do is download the attached file, unzip it, and edit it as following:
echo 691200 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This line tells the kernel what's the max frequency when the screen is on. Here you can edit with one of the following values:
518400
576000
614400
633600
652800
672000
691200
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After you edit it accordingly, save it and push the file to /system/etc/init.d:
adb remount
adb push 90governor /system/etc/init.d
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you're good to go!
F**k yeah!
Please man, try to fix the camera
That's what I'm doing, don't panic.
No problem m8 , I won't
Could you guys post linpack and neocore results?
Does the old style Apps2SD work in this (the one with an EXT partition)?
No, it does not, even though I've included it.
What a pity Is there a way to fix it?
Go for it RaduG!
Running CE 2.0 for ages!
Thanks.
you're a good guy Radu, I'm so happy to see you back to work on the hero
This will be a lot of fun!

BT audio works on Sengle, if that helps you somehow.
About the camera I really have no ideas, to solve it on ASOP/CM they needed to backport the camera interface from eclair - something you can't do on Sense cause you don't have sources. This is what made me give up.
I really hope you can get this working, because I think no one else is working on these issues.
Good luck.
Thanks for the A2DP tip
As for the camera, I've got to the point where the image is clear, but it does not refresh(although it doesn't behave like that with the uploaded version). So I'm pretty confident that with a bit of work I will fix it eventually.
I hope you don't mind that I'm using your kernel.

Is there a difference between this rom and these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838730
I guess yes , but what makes this rom different?
Is this ROM Legend port?
Aw, crap. I just posted how stable and good (perfect) Floyo 1.2.0 was and now you went and released yours, lol.
Back-up and here I come.
I'm going to backup to my sd card and save it and start fresh with a new card. Hopefully that way I can restore quicker and without any hicups.
Thanks RaduG
@GZFan
I don't know how that ROM works, but from the description I can tell you that the GPS is not working there. Otherwise I have no idea, as I haven't tried it.
@tomekk_nt
It's an Aria/Legend/Hero hybrid.
Anyone can port sense hd from desire hd or it is impossible?

RaduG is building it, the man behind vanillaEclair 4 (still imho the most flawless and responsive rom for the hero, old though it may be), vanillaEclair 5 (newer sourcecode than ve4, better than the other roms based on those same sources, not quite as good as ve4 though on my particular phone), and chocolateEclair 2 (a wonderful 2.1 sense rom that many feel is best of breed on the hero). He knows how to assemble and mess with the code in hero android roms exceptionally well and has a longer success rate with single-handed rom creation on the gsm hero than anyone else that I'm aware of.
This is all just my personal opinion and experience; I don't actually know the guy (hey Radu ;-)
Aside from that, literal differences are that he's building it himself based on some cdma stuff so will be undoubtedly bringing in different sources, and probably difference bits of sense executable stuff, to try and get things like camera working. Oh yea, and as noted he's actually working on this rom actively where the rom you linked to was great but is now abandoned due to a feature implementation stalemate and work on other time-consuming exciting projects by the same developer.
I guess you've been waiting for this for quite a long time.
So I felt I should upload at least something and stop keeping these builds secret.
Before we start...
This is unstable. VERY unstable, compared to my latest CM10.1 build.
By the way, I had to remove CM10.1 build environment because I have no space left on SSD. No more CM10.1 builds from me, sorry
On a positive note, this build has (compared to CM10.1):
Camera button options (wake/unlock/peek/playback control) — I put this feature upstream. Try it, it's cool
Flash sync is fine
KSM works again (it just magically fixed itself)
DSPManager doesn't suddenly get unloaded from memory and break your listening experience
Persian language for hardware keyboard. The whole hardware keyboard support has been reworked.
Newer Trebuchet, with live folders, icon pack support and other stuff
RAM is about 150 MBytes free with Theme Chooser enabled

How to install?
The usual process, nothing different here.
1: backup
2: wipe
3: install the ROM
4: install Google Apps. I prefer PA GApps "Mini Modular Packages".
How do I report bugs?
Now that's important.
I've set up an issue tracker to prevent cluttering this thread.
Keep in mind that a bug report without a logcat/dmesg or at least a precise description of a bug wouldn't help anyone.
If you stumble upon anything strange — try to reproduce it (and save a logcat, just in case).
Pro-tip: use "adb logcat -C" to colorize the output and make it easier to read! (not sure if this works on Windows, though)
Unfortunately, there are bugs that are caused by CM devs or Google (GApps are buggy, too). I'll close these bug reports, because I just can't fix that. I'm not a magician
Issues we already aware of:
EGL: flashy CRT animation (disable it) and buggy hwcomposer (icons/widgets suddenly blacked out is also caused by it). This was the major show-stopper.
Switching SELinux to Enforcing mode will instantly make the phone freeze. Don't do this!
Trackpad wake/unlock doesn't work, and there's no way to enable it. I use "pure" CM frameworks_base that doesn't have these features baked in.
Camcorder FCs when you try to un-pause video recording.
[Fixed] AOSP Keyboard FCs if you don't install GApps — install them
[Fixed] Mobile data is unstable — edit build.prop to fix the issue.
Issue you should be aware of: (non ROM-related)
Don't buy Samsung laptops, they have display hinges made of a sh*tty plastic.

Please don't make additional mirrors. Instead, ask me to mirror the file myself.
Why? I need to keep control of builds, and remove/replace them if something goes really wrong.
Kitkat?
While I still prepare my build environment for Kitkat and applying some patches to make it compile, you can have a build provided by guest1.
Initially, it was built purely for ringtone bug testing (factoid: every other htc msm7x30 device has ringtone shutting off randomly. I don't know why), but I think that'll do it for giving you an overview of what does CM11 look like at the moment.
This is even more unstable!
4.4 is also slower for some reason (probably because of different qcom_display repo used for it).
I did almost no tests with it, so there's probably a lot more to fix.

Once this gets a tad more stable I am going to for sure try this out. I just flashed a fresh rom today and I'm trying to limit the fact I flash a rom at least 7-15 times a week (it's addicting, what can I say).
Re:[ROM] [14-11-13] Andromadus - CM10.2 - Vision
@NeverGone\RU you are a beast. Of course also thanks to @Flinny and the whole andromadus team. Does this use the same htc7x30 andromadus 3.x kernel as the previous builds?

BUT I'm a still faithful user and BIG THANKS for this great piece of rom and great work from devs! Thank you!
great news!!!! thanks hitted
Let's not clamor for Kitkat yet. The Galaxy S4 got a stable-ish build of Kitkat just a few days ago, and it'll take a while for unstable builds to come out from the official CM tree. When that happens, development will trickle down here.
I mean, I would like to maintain my always-faithful-if-slow backup phone. It's gotten me through some times when my other primary phones went dead on me.
I get server connection errors in the Google Play store with this ROM and the linked GApps. Is anyone else having this problem?
I can actually connect to the store fine, it's the downloading or updating of apps that it errors out on.

Go to settings --> Storage --> And I think there should be a cache storage size for the sd card+internal rom, clear those, sign out of your google account then sign back in! At least I think those are the steps, I can't fully recall
That did it! Thanks! In all the years I've had an android phone I've never had to do that after flashing a rom.

Yeah, from my research a few days ago on that problem it seems to be common in 4.3 roms for some unknown reason. I'm glad I could help!
I made an issue tracker.
That'd be easier to track bugs and get feedback without constantly quoting each other on forum pages. (because forums are linear)
I also decided to try to adapt some Sony/Samsung MSM7x30 changes. Maybe they've been more successful than we were?
If I were you, I would give up developing Android 4.3 and focus on preparing 4.4. But I am not a developer and I possibly don't know something so...
Anyway, thanks for making Android 4.3 happen on our Desire Z and good luck!
I will wait for 4.4 though.

Valid point.
The thing is, 4.4/CM11 is in early stage yet, and it will still need the same work I'm doing for 4.3 (plus, camera is broken on other MSM7x30 devices).
4.3 is at least able to boot
