I'll post it to you guys.. If you want right now I can release a rogers build with exchange support where googletalk and market don't work. Should I?

Yes, that would be awesome! Pl release...
screen rotate has problem when using the Camera + Left button key. It doesn't rotate back to portrait mode. Yes I had the latest build.
Great work! Could you check to see if viewing youtube in high quality mode work for you? Thanks.

Nice work!
Just a question, not that it matters much. The default clock on the home screen is a certain size (small), but if you add a new one via widgets menu, it's a huge clock. Is it suppose to be like that, or is this just a minot detail to be worked out later?
It seems I am an idiot. I can't figure out what Extended Drawer is actually doing.. :\

I'm always up for testing new versions, though it might be less stressful to hold off and release a fixed version (as much as I hate waiting).
If you do decide to release a version that doesn't have everything working, you might want to note that in the file name.
Example: mssmison_rogers_system_(MARKET_NOT_WORKING).img
That way there is no excuse for ridiculous whining and complaining.
I'm quite happy you came back mssmison. I'm also glad that you noted you were taking off some tonight so I didn't sit up all night anxiously awaiting the new great release.
Would it be a simple deal of switching the system files to download an app from market and then switch back, or is it more than just the system file and would you have to delete widgets to go back and forth? If I just had to change out system files to get a market app no problem, or find the .apk to download and install it.
Does that mean flash and the differen't profiles to choose for your screens and perspectives? Maybe a list of what it does have working would be easier, or just figure it out ourselves when it's released. I'm quite excited
Thanks for all your work
First I'd like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I haved used many build's before yours and all are good to their own part. I am having trouble with Android the last couple of days, I cannot receive calls but am able to call out. Any Idea what may be the problem. I was using vilords build and had this same problem, tried yours to see if it could be fixed. Thank you again and good luck with your future builds, I will be looking forward to testing them.
hey just wanted to give a heads up not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but the calendar will not load for me everytime i try to load it the app crashes.

Unfortunatly no, the rogers builds only work with data.img that are created by them. The builds are quite different.

Wanna say thanks to mssmison for his build working great. And i would love a link to Regers to test it out. Plz and thanks
Sounds like big things are happening! Nice job mssmison! I can't wait to try out the Rogers build!
i'd like to test the hero if you need. i've wanted to see the sense ui for a long time. i keep checking to see if you posted it yet. i'm excited. can you install programs from the .apk's?
Umm, im using your new build and just for fun, i tried marketplace...it seems to work for me, I downloaded shopsavvy and successfully installed it.
I however, used my old data file.
Maybe I'm lucky

He's saying that Market doesn't work on the Rogers build (which he hasn't released yet).
Does anyone plan on making new roms and themes for the hero i dont really like the look on the stock rom i have MoDaCo and it looks the same as stock like the g1 they have alot of nice roms and stuff will we ever have roms like that?

I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.
do you know any good ones?

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.
Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?
lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.
which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.
lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.
I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

Alright!
Noob here, and I apologize for that... LOL
I'm new to the Android world. Have my CDMA Hero rooted running stock 1.5. Looking at the Wiki for the Hero ROM, there are currently 13 of them to choose from.
I searched for comments, comparisons and such, and there really isnt much here, or I wasn't searching right.
Anyway, can anyone tell me why they like the ROM that they are running so well? So maybe I can decide which I might like to try out?
Thanks guys, Noob or not, these forums have been soooo helpful! Keep up the great work.
Fresh 2.0d plus the vanilla lockscreen (minus menu). Thank me later.
BTW, I have tried nearly every ROM here... I would suggest you do the same since different people like different stuff. Vanilla Darch comes in second for me and I prefer the Helix launcher over any other.

It's just like a buffet, the first time you go there you try everything to find out what you like! The next time you go back you only try what you like!
They are all about the same speedwise, it's all about trying them to find the one that suits you and has stuff that you want in a ROM, most of them have screenshot to see what they look like, and most of them are near 100%.

Heres what I do. Nandriod, test, restore if I don't like it.

I gotta say, Fresh 2.0d is awesome. Just make sure you also install the vanilla lockscreen.
RegawMOD v2.0.2p here but it's also in how you can put bits and pieces together that makes it quick and smooth for you in all reality.
I run Damagecontrol 2.05 as my daily with vanilla lockscreen, black/blue dialer/black droid launcher/black keyboard, etc, etc....
I'm running DamageControl2.05, slimmed down and modded. Still trimming fat, but my last update.zip was only like 90Mb. Seriously, just give them a try. It's not like buying a car, there is no buyers remorse. If you try one and don't like it, you just move on to the next one. Be warned, once you start modding them yourself, it becomes addictive. Next thing you know, you'll find yourself missing sleep cause you're pouring over apk's and png's getting everything just how you want it... not speaking from experience or anything, lol

ditto.. fresh2.0d outta all of them.. cause it worked for me outta the box.. darchvanilla for me as a second choice.. and i like u and a helix launcher man..
not to say any of the other roms out there are bad.. fresh works for me..
gotta give me vote to damagecontrol. if your new to flashin, consider v1, its the most stable in my opinion. if your looking to tweak and mod however, the latest is the best.
Is there a way to remove Sense and add stock Android Home to new 2.1 rom from Rogers? And if yes,how can i do that?
I know that i can remove Rosie from this rom,but there is no stock home in there.
Try ADW or Launcherpro, they are amazingly customizable. Bad thing though, is you cant use HTC widgets
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA App
Yea I know but i dont need home replacement,i want to remove all Sense apps.And use Android ones.
if you don't want the SenseUI, why don't you try any stable Froyo 2.2 ROMs,
try CM5.0.8, it is pretty cool
Well am not sure why but battery is a lot better on 6.35 radios,and i like how stable that Rogers rom is.So that is the reason,and please no more questions about that.
If someone know the answer to question i asked let me know.
i am actually working on a rom which is basically a 2.1 sense with out all the sense lol
Basically im taking out all the widgets and rosie, and then im going to put in ADW, launcher pro, and touchwiz launcher. Also will have apps2sd etc..
right now im still testing it out , but hopefully i will have it done soon
Thats not really answer to my question but good to know.

So I'm new to android, not new to modding. So if someone can find the patience to set me straight on a few things. Ahem: I would like to keep a simple stock" ish " rom. I would like everything to just work. I would really like it if there was no ads on anything. Overclocked would be nice, but not if it hits the battery bigtime. So, in summary, is there a rom out there that will accomplish this for me failry easy? HTC sense is pretty cool. so that would be a plus. so Rom suggestions, mod suggestions. Very much appreciated. Time with family an gf doesn't leave me much time to my computer an phone tomfoolery.
Firstly Welcome! You have a few choices,there is nfinities stk roms with sense ,LiquidSolstice has stk roms available his are optimized and have alot of the bloat aka sprint crap removed. Look in the hero dev section you will find them,if you can wait i'll shoot you the links .

It's rooted already? if yes then power+home hold home down ater you push power button
Heres a few tips:
1.Read as much as you can,don't understand ask someone will help you.
2.Most important ask your quest. in the proper thread.
3.ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID(a copy of the existing rom,settings and apps on your phone at that moment.)
4.When you read a discussion about flashing a new radio, Remember this: NEVER FLASH A RADIO THAT IS FOR A GSM HERO OR OTHER PHONE ONLY A CDMA HERO!
You will end up with a very expensive paper wieght.
5.Try to do as much searching as possible before you post a question(this should keep you from getting flamed! lol!)
Like I said previously the latest sense roms are Nfinite's Stk .7 based on the sprint 2.31.651.7 update you'll find that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790889

I really don't know. I don't do anything about them because most of the Devs work or apps are free,so if they get a little back from the ads is ok with me. I think there is an app on the market that will block most ads.
