Please go to this link to find these http://www.villainrom.kriev.com/
There are fixes for Apps2SD issues (if you have any) as well as removing the flashing trackball lights (if it bothers you that much)

I haven't tried Benham's build without the changes, so I couldn't tell you.
The first blindingly obvious difference is that all apps show in the market.
Other than that, it should be slightly quicker right from the go... but give it 2-3 days, and I'll HUGELY improve the speed.
Updates should all be no-wipe, too

Great Work, Can't wait for the speed tweaks!

Hi Nathan,
I presume you have no issue with me 'holding the fort' while you're at the weddings? (ie. Any hotfixes or update.zips as discovered.
I'll use this thread, or new site if it gets sorted...
Hopefully we'll hear from the guy offering the villainrom domain. i suggested a php bug tracker. Just to keep it easier to see any bugs...

About 3min to flash

I am in first boot now, its taking a while
Edit: taking absolutely ages

Excellent mate. No, I have no issue with this whatsoever.
I'm about to PM you.

I really think we should be using hashtags while in this thread in order to make it easier to identify problems, especially as nathan is gone this weekend.
#bugs for bugs

[ROM] Nebulae v1.1 (WWE Éclair 2.1) :: 04/10/2010

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.

It's somewhat impossible to thank every single person that contributes to the Android ROM development community. Kudos to everyone that does an amazing work and decides to share it with us.

Credits to TeamVillain for the huge APNs list, Bash, low memory management tweak and dalvik2cache script.
That's all I can remember at the moment, sorry if I forgot something or someone important.

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.

nice rom, gj

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?
Nevermind, the direct download is here: http://db.tt/0Mtbc3

Finally an Official WWE rom with locales fixed! Was waiting for a en_PT option for a long time without keyboard installations and tweaks!
Will try it!
Many thanks!

I have 63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14 radio version.
Does 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 suites better for our country?
Thanks in advance

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:

PH and PU are the same. Some Heros report the radio with an H and others with an U.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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)
On an officiel HTC update.

Think I found it on Villain's place as a new rom.
Think its working well, just don't know about battery because I'm always using the phone and charging it a lot.

[ROM] Stock Extra [XXJVT 2.3.5][26 October]

Description
I made my own ROMs for a while (too many bloated ROMs, or tweaked way too much), but never published them to others. After yesterday when it helped someone I decided that I'll go spend some time and put it up as it might be of use to some more people. But don't expect anything mind blowing. This is a ROM that is meant to be as close to stock as possible, while adding small additions that don't negate the original experience.
Features
Based on XXJVT [Android 2.3.5, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Rooted, Busybox] (thanks to Ramad)
Semaphore 1.8.0 kernel [Voodoo Color/Sound, OC/UV, BLN] (thanks to stratosk, supercurio, Neldar, and Chainfire)
VM heap size set to 32
Hard to kill launcher
AppWidgetPicker (thanks to boombuler)
Camera with low battery and power button hack (thanks to $omator)
Gallery3D without Samsung's low quality tweaks
Microbes and HTC Sense live wallpapers
Extended power menu, CRT-off (thanks to sphinx02)
Stock battery with percentages and green icons on connection to Google services (thanks to $omator and others)
Everything else is stock unless I forgot to mention it...
Download 'Stock_Extra_[XXJVT].zip' (no wipe)
Download 'Stock_Extra_[XXJVS].zip' (wipe)
Instructions
Apply from CWM. Preferable to wipe data/restore factory defaults and wipe cache, but you can try without the former and see what happens. As usual, make a backup beforehand just in case.
Extras
CM7 % Battery for XXJVT (thanks to thanks to $omator)
I didn't add any experimental things, or special tweaks, however I do have a few recommendations; Playing around with the Semaphore application may yield some improvements, converting your file systems to EXT4, and applying the Universal Adrenaline Shot may be of some benefit.
The benchmarks posted have been done under a combination of the previously mentioned tweaks. The numbers themselves don't mean much, but the overall experience is pretty smooth -- even without any tweaks applied as I was told.
Disclaimers
As usual, you are applying the update at your own risk.
ROM re-packaging is not such a difficult process. As such if you wish to donate please consider donating to XDA, or the people who have been credited for the tweaks (amongst the others that I may have missed).
If you ask for additions I may or may not include them in the future, depending on whether I would like to have them or not (remember the original purpose of this ROM in the opening paragraph).

Just gonna download. a nice simple rom

great work ..
i like roms like that ..

This kind of simple roms I really like. I just hope that you also make like this base on xxjvt.

I will rebase it once all the addons are made to be compatible with it. Also forgot to add in the features that it has Gallery3D without Samsung's low quality changes -- so it will be slower, but the pictures will look much better overall.
Per request I also had to rename the name of the ROM, however I'm afraid I won't be uploading the same zip file just with a different file name; next time.
And glad to know that it is to some people's liking

very nice rom . stable and good.

Hi, can i make a special request.
Can you do the same for Asia stock rom DXJV9. European rom does not contain Asian language pack unless you know how to port that into these rom.
Thanks

I'll see what I can do during the weekend, or the end of the week, but no promises. Aren't there any Asians ROMs that have a similar set of features?

Great man. Well, Asian rom is up to Android 2.3.3. I don't understand why Samsung did not release update to 2.3.4, even European rom had breach the 2.3.5 version. It pretty disappointing man.
Nevertheless, thanks for trying.

I'm currently in the process of testing a JVT version, so hopefully in the next few days (or maybe even today) when it proves to be stable and without any glaring mistakes I'll have it uploaded. Until then, sit tight folks.

Awaiting.
Does it come with Asia language pack?

I'm afraid the only Asian language included (that I recognise) is Korean, which by looking at your country's icon is not what you're looking for.
That said, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to make a full version for one of those Asian 2.3.3 firmwares. The mods and tweaks that I rely on are specific to certain firmware versions, as such I wouldn't be able to mix them together.
And I'm afraid I don't have time for the "trial and error" approach due to my job, so yeah... there's nothing else I can really do, unless there is a way to force the Asian languages into non-Asian firmwares -- something that I'm personally not aware of.

So here is the XXJVT version; you may download it from here (link is also in the front post). This version will not wipe your data, so if you came from the previous version you should be able to just install it over and everything should work just fine.
Changelog... or what seems to have changed:
XXJVT base
Blue overscroll glow (this is a Samsung change to stop infringing on Apple's retarded patents)
Overall smoothness seems to be better (and apart from EXT4 I have applied no other tweaks this time)
Slight battery improvement (discharging fully and wiping battery stats from CWM helps after an upgrade)
From my side the rest is the same
Enjoy

Hi, it's stock I'm afraid. You can buy WidgetLocker from the Market and have any lockscreen you wish though

This rom is superb well done mate!

I guess Stock extra still the best. Too many tweak and mod will make the phone unstable. On and off, i still have to reboot the phone even though the developer declare it is stable.
Good work mate.

me too likes such simple ROMs like the one from $omator in the themes and apps sections called:

IMPORTANT: I am not responsible if any thing goes wrong with your device while flashing this theme. You are flashing this at your very own risk.​
Hi Friends,
I guess it was time for me to give back the XDA community which has always been there to give. This community is like a teacher and I wanted to give back a gift.
I am running ArchiPort Beta 1. But I wanted a AOSP like dark theme for myself. And since I could not find any I thought "Why not give it a shot!". So here I present my 1st ever Theme for ArchiPort Beta1/QS-i9300-KK ROM for Galaxy S3 I9300. I am calling it the Darkydroid Theme.
This theme is not fully complete yet and it will take me a lot of time to build it completely since I have very little time that I can put into RND here. (I have a 2 year old son and he never leaves me and I don't want to leave him either). Flashing what I share with you, is not going to change the look and feel of your device completely. But it eventually will, when the theme completes!
Keeping that in mind my idea is to release this theme in parts. When I feel that I have something stable and perfect that can be shared with the community, I will share it.
So please don't ask for any releases. I will however try to solve any bugs are found in the existing releases.
So without further delay here are the download links::fingers-crossed:
Change list is available in post #2
Last but not the least... if you like my work please rate this thread with as many stars as possible...

Flashing Procedure for version 4.6 and upcoming ones:
Download the zip file and keep it anywhere (internal/external storage) on your phone.
Extract the contents of the file. You will find 2 files inside Darkydroid_[#.#]_001.zip and Darkydroid_[#.#]_002.zip (where #.# is the version number)
Boot into recovery and make a backup of your existing system (You never know when things can get messed up!)
Flash the Darkydroid_[#.#]_001.zip and then flash Darkydroid_[#.#]_002.zip.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache.
Reboot and Njoy!
Flashing Procedure for versions older than 4.5:
Download the zip file and keep it anywhere (internal/external storage) on your phone.
Boot into recovery and make a backup of your existing system (You never know when things can get messed up!)
Simply flash the downloaded zip file.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache.
Reboot and Njoy!
NOTE: This theme will not work with any other mods that you may have installed on your device. It may not work with your existing mods because I have made changes in the system file and it your mod also made changes to the system file then flashing this will override your existing mod.
And if it works with your existing mods, please update the thread/me so that I can mention necessary information in the OP itself.
Thanks Giving: :highfive:
First of all I would like to thank XDA Community.
And ...
- @JustArchi, @Kryten2k35 for the wonderful ArchiPort ROM.
- @Spannaa for clearing my doubts and the VR Theme flasher.
- @joehanh88 for his guide (its old but still it helped)
- @Crussader, @Ticklefish, - @vanessaem, @lacoursiere18 for your support. This was not possible without your help. :good:
- @_alex74_ for his valuable 100% battery mod.

Change Log
Change Log:
Version 4.5:
1. UI updates...
2. MMS app themed.
3. Battery % now shows over the battery icon itself.
(Battery will show a red bolt symbol while charging. Also when the battery reaches 100% the text will go out of the icon. But i guess that wont be much of a problem to anyone coz battery won't stay at 100% for very long.)
Version 4:
1. UI updates... thats all for now
Version CONT-PHON 003.1:
1. Themed some icons for QS-i9300-KK ROM... nothing new other than that
Version CONT-PHON 003:
1. Themed SecPhone.apk
2. Themed SecContacts_OSup.apk

And this ....

And this one too ....

Can you also please post a 245dpi dialler too? I hope there are other people too who like 245dpi rather than 320dpi.

Well i haven't tried yet, i'm sure theme will work fine but the only issue is dialler, it needs to be modded for 245dpi. If u have installed it in your phone already, can u try switching to 245dpi and see if dialler looks fine on 245dpi?

I'd love to see support for Sammy's 4.3, especially NG3. This way I could even add it to the AD 1.X .
