Hi All
Does HTC put Friendstream inside HTC Hero 2.1 rom?
French langage is present inside multi-language? For example in home menu, "Téléphone" instead of "Phone"
Many Thanks
Gibou
ok.... so which one do I use? yours Paul, or roufianos (which certainly sounds interesting), or 42's eclair-update-signed?
and this is likely a really naive question LoL, but I'm guessing these won't overclock?
And if they won't overclock, will it be possible for you amazing people to supply a kernel that CAN overclock any time soon using the actual hero 2.1 official kernel source? or is that going to be unavailable source code for the forseeable future (based on past experience with google/htc)?
One of my current issues with VR6.2.1 is that the camera only works at iso100, making it almost useless for taking pics of kids/dogs/anyone who isn't posing still. I'm hoping that this official rom fixes that. But I'm thinking that maybe using an alternative kernel that can overclock which isn't actually based on the official hero kernel source code but is in fact taken from the Eris (like VR6) might break the camera iso functionality again.
So much boring long crap I'm writing eh? LoL
oh, and most importantly, thanks for being super amazing!
cheers,
Dkelley
No voice search or voice input. Is it possible to add or get this?
Otherwise it's a very good rom, very fast!

Use whichever ROM you want.
SetCPU seems to be overclocking ok, HTC have to release kernel source code as they have modified other open source stuff.

you should be able to use any 2.6.29 kernel (from other 2.1 roms) or build your own using the leaked kernel sources http://github.com/behnaam/HeRo-2.6.29-GoDmOdE .
Works great for me Hero GSM China Mobile.

Hi ! Thank you for this release ! Flashing right now. I'll use it until the WWE or European version come out.
I still find that the new "shiny" look of the Sense UI is not as good as the previous one
Is there any body using oc kernel? If yes which kernel you using with this rom?

so what might be more stable about it? is it asian languages only or wwe/dutch as well? is there any changelog from the current "official" 2.2 ROM? I do not feel as if i have too many problems running that one currently and would be interested in knowing what was improved in the taiwanese version.

I would like to cook it for the G1... g1 still lags at times!
Does anyone know what the difference is between this new ROM and the old one?
I'd love to see if modaco's 2.3 will include BFS (I have cyanogenmod 4.1.9.2 on my G1 and it FLIES) and any new fixes/updates/languages from HTC themselves
Look at build numbers. 2.73.751.4
2 is the version number
73 is the release number
third number is usually vendor specific changes
fourth number is vendor release number
This build should be no different from 2.73.405.05 except it's a Chunghwa release. Selection of all locales can be enabled by removing the customize directory (though this removes also the pre-loaded scenes, I'll have to check how to keep those files).

BFS aint gonna happen on Hero until we can compile our own kernels. So when HTC releases the source you can expect stuff like BFS.
All current roms rely on having HTCs precompiled kernel and just changing the software around it.
Added HTC Generic 2.73.751.4 (as 2.73.405.5 + Chinese support) to this post. It is the same core as 2.73.405.5 with Chinese and a few bits like Plurk, AK Notepad etc...

That's a bummer. I was hoping HTC would contribute the necessary bits into the generic linux kernel so that it would be possible to compile e.g. 2.6.31.x with all its android-fixes for the Hero. The current 2.6.27 was also a nightmare wrt wifi on most notebooks, so that may explain some of the instabilities and AP-compatibility problems unless HTC have back-ported most/all the new wifi-stack-code from 2.6.28+ to their 2.6.27 code.

do you have the official RUU in exe format? (I'm keeping a backup of all dumps in my computer just in case, up to ~30 GB now, I'm hoping to get a hero someday...)

No, only the dump.
It is a Chunghwa release, but it has English.

Okay, thanks Paul
The HTC people widget in the 2.73.751.4 ROM is slightly different.
In previous ROMs, the people widget takes up half of the screen and for each of your favorite contacts, it display his/her photo with a button next to it. Pressing the photo open up his/her contact information, while pressing the button execute the default contact method.
In the new people widget, you can choose between taking up the whole screen, or just half of the screen like before. For each of your favorite contacts, it now displays only his/her photo (with a small icon, not a button, at the lower corner of the photo to remind you his/her default contact type), and pressing the photo execute the default contact method.
Sweet, will make sure that's in 2.3!

As you may know, HTC have just released the kernel source code, and i've been having a play.
Nothing massively exciting yet, but if you want your kernel to feature...
- Additional filesystems (EXT4, NFS, CramFS, SquashFS 4.0)
- Freshly compiled tun.ko module
- CompCache 0.5.4 support
- Required iptables functionality for DroidWall
...then you can install this package over the top of the latest MCR.
This is pretty much untested at the moment, so Nandroid backup first (of course), and i'm taking requests for future improvements. This is seperate from the main MCR thread for now simply because of it's untested nature!
I'd like to add...
- Port to 2.6.29 kernel
...but as I say this is just an early first-stab at a custom kernel. I thought i'd put it out there as I know many people like to run EXT4 on their A2SD partitions.

The MCK kernel was added to the custom ROM in version 2.8, so if you want it all you have to do is install the MOdaco ROM 2.8
Well may be it is possible to make clean Android OS available for HTC Hero since kernel sources are released? With no Sense UI etc.

if you dont want it, go into settings--------manage applications-----find touch flo and clear defaults....
The next time you press the home button, just press launcher and make it your default home screen.
There you have it...
Sorry Paul for going slightly off topic
Some people do not want it because they find it heavy.
By using the clear defaults method you only visually disabling it, but in the background the sense ui processes are still running.

Ever heard about Paul's Rosie remover? I think what people want is to get features of e.g. Cyanogens work in a ROM, and the ability to modify. In fact if you remove Rosie, add some vanilla android apps and change the Hero drawables in the framwork.apk you'll get a "vanilla" looking and working kind of ROM.
NEBULAE ROOTED ROM BASED ON
OFFICIAL HTC WWE ÉCLAIR 2.1 (RUU)
***ONLY FOR GSM HERO***
Description:
This ROM is just another ROM like most others out there... Yes, I'm late in the game and it does not have much more than most ROMs but that was not the intention either. It's also not this ROM's intention to compete with any other ROMs. This is just something I did for myself (that's why you can find some unusual features) which I decided to share cause some people might like my simple and basic changes.
My work is based in two other ROMs, MoDaCo from Paul O'Brien and VillainROM from TeamVillain. I respect their work and thank them for their hard work. Some things were literally copied from their ROMs to mine, but I give credit where credit is due; if you find something that you think it was copied, that's because it probably was, but I'm not doing this to take credit for their work.
Features:
Based on Official HTC WWE Éclair 2.1 Update (RUU)
Rooted with Superuser 2.3.6.1 by ChainsDD
Missing locales from the official HTC update
en_PT, en_FI, fr_BE, fr_CH, pt_PT, nb_FI, da_FI, sv_FI
Fully deodexed for theming, hacking and extra space
Added Click'n'Drag to rearrange screens in Rosie/Sense
Long and comprehensive list of updated APNs
Added Dropbear support (SSH Server)
Added support for dalvik2cache script
Tweaked low memory management
Disabled boot animation sound
Included Linux tools:
BusyBox v1.15.3
SQLite v3.5.9
Bash v4.1
Nano v2.0.9
Included applications:
3D Gallery v1.1.30682 (Froyo port)
Removed applications:
HTC Footprints
HTC Stocks
Teeter
How to install:
Wipe everything:
Data
Dalvik-cache
Battery Stats
Rotate Settings
Flash ROM via recovery mode.
Flash Radio via recovery mode (the phone will reboot twice, do not interrupt the process at any moment).
Reboot the system once after the initial boot.
I suggest to always reinstall the radio after flashing any ROM, I've had GPS problems in the past for not doing so. Either flash the one below or the one that suits you/your network better.

Patch for Nebulae ROM v0.1
NEBULAE ROM PATCH
***ONLY FOR GENERIC/DEODEX ROMS***
Description:
There were a couple of things I wanted to include in my ROM above but couldn't because of software limitations (more specifically, signatures). This patch allows that and you also have the choice to flash it or not.
This patch can probably be used on another ROMs (for the HTC Hero of course) if you like but I will not provide any support there. Just make sure the ROM is deodex or it will probably lead to unexpected results.
Features:
Removed shortcuts from Launcher:
Call History
Learn More
Phone
Search People
Settings
Setup Wizard
Removed vibration from the Calculator and Dialer apps
Fixed graphical glitches and unreadable colors in a tabbed interface
Example of original interface: image
Example of fixed interface: image
How to install:
Just flash the patch zip file like any other ROM.

Done... Although I don't expect to update this ROM much as I took my time to cook exactly as I wanted and testing it thoroughly. But mistakes happen all the time and you never know what more stupid bugs HTC left for us to fix.
Thank you all.
Great post and nice patch,cleans almost everything we really dont need or have in other places.
Too bad for me it doesnt have footprints as i use it a lot,but you cant satisfy everyone and as you said it was build for your needs.
Welcome aboard,hope to see more work from you.
You can easily push it back (along with the widget) to the phone if you want. Of course, only if you really find this ROM more useful than the one you're currently using, otherwise don't bother
Nazgulled,
Could you please upload the freshly new Google Maps 4.4 only? I'd like to update mine to 4.4 but it seems certain apps are missing from Market for me right now, including Shazam, LauncherPro and etc.
Please?

PH? Where did that one come from? I'm not sure that's newer though because PH comes before of PU and radios are normally versioned like that...
I'm not sure, I'm using 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 as that one came from the official update and haven't tested any others. The only way to tell is to keep using both for a long period of time and take some conclusions...
Found this now:

So, there's "2 new radios" right now and I have them both posted on the front page. The "PH" you're using is basically the one I posted for "orange users", which ends in 14.
Seriously, I don't know which one is better, i'm just using the first one and haven't really tested the other... If you do test both and find out the .14 is better than the .11, let me know
I have seen this .11 radio in Denmark. (use .14 myself, no probs)

Future Updates - READ THIS!

Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).
And finally...

Thank you, flashing this ROM now
Hope it works! (Desire Z - in Canada)
Works great! Finally stock crap is gone!
Does anyone know if this version has the HTC locations installed? I noticed on Paul's site it said something like it he forgot to ad this..? Was that only for the kitchen..? Or is it included in the pre-baked version..? BTW... as always, THANKS PAUL!

Really? I installed it and the location is not in there? This is from a pre-baked version. Do I need to use the kitchen? I don't see it in the kitchen either... Am I missing something..?
Update: saw it in the kitchen... Gonna bake one with it and give it a try. UPDATE: Locations working like a charm on NAM Bell Desire Z.
does HTC Locations only come in the kitchen or the default rom as well? I don't have ad-free membership, but i'd love to be able to use locations app.
Yup, its only included in the online kitchen.

It's not in the pre-baked one. You need to bake a NEW one in the kitchen. I beleive Paul will fix this soon for the pre-baked one. Not a big deal to bake. Locations works GREAT on the NAM Bell Desire Z. I downloaded maps, voices, etc from within the app. The widget is also pretty cool. Sooooo happy to now have all the bell junk out too!
Is it possible to upload your locations.apk from /system/app/ ?

Since this is the European ROM, it is lacking all the locale from NA, like English (Canada). Is there a way to add them?
Install MoreLocales from the Market. I'll fix that in the next release.

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the HTC Vision (this is the version based on the T-Mobile G2 ROM, without HTC Sense)! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
Remember that if you use this ROM, you do so entirely at your own risk!!
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed (Clockwork Mod).
THIS ROM SHOULD RUN ON BOTH THE G2 AND THE DESIRE Z!
Features (these are the features for the currently posted prebake, please check the changelog for any pending changes that are in the kitchen)
Based on the 1.22.531.8 T-Mobile G2 ROM
Pre-rooted with su and Superuser Permissions by ChainsDD
Insecure boot image (ro.secure=0)
Optimised with the MCR build process, which means that the ROM will fit on a G2 without needing to remove any content!
All components updated to the latest versions
ROM is de-odexed
Please note that this is a r1 release, many more changes will be added now via the kitchen and periodically updated prebakes (as per normal MCR builds!)

Same phone but different partitioning, I believe ? I'm sure someone who knows a lot more than me will be able to comment better though.
Stock G2 does fit on Z, but the other way round doesn't.
What he said - different partitioning!

I'm sorry, but I am just surprised no one has mentioned or requested screenshots.
Can we get at least one? I mean some of us may not know what a Non-Sense UI looks like.
Also, will this ROM help extend battery life? I am assuming it will with less eye-candy correct?
Thank you.

Its a stock ROM base nothing special nothing out of the ordinary. I am using it right now, it runs smoother than stock.
