I miss the vanilla android i had with my g1 mt3g. is there anyway to port the 1.6 vanilla android onto my sprint hero? besides just closing sense? sense is intergrated through out the phone i want my og vanilla android completely back on the hero.
There's currently one solution to your request. It's AOSP 2.0+ for Hero CDMA. Search for that. Sadly, the camera doesn't work. It's not 1.6, but the Nexus One verson (2.0/2.0.1). It has live wallpapers though!
Root your phone and flash the Damagecontrol ROM. If you remove the right apks in /system/apps you can use the plain ol' home rather than SenseUI. Not completely AOSP, but it's about as good as you'll get for now.
You have a fully working market and camera that way too.
We have an entire forum dedicated to ROMs and development of the CDMA (Sprint) Hero: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=519
I'd recommend you try darchstar's 2.1 AOSP ROM if you can live without camera. quietbclongs made a fantastic AOSP 1.6 ROM, too, that has just about everything you need in it.
What is the safest, fastest, nicest looking ROM that has has flash and most functionality for a 32B myTouch?
If you could give me some directions on the install that would be amazing too. I am not familiar with the hero rom process. I'd prefer it to be as simple as possible, just like Cyan's.
Thanks in advance!!
11 Days later and still nothing. I'm sure someone has some idea!
it depends on what you're looking for. There are plenty of 1.5 hero's. My personal favorites are Ttran001's 3.0 and Qtek's 1.7 or 1.8.
If you are looking for an eclair hero, look in the dream forums for a 32B. there are a few there, but they are not quite up to par yet and have some bugs including the camera does not work yet due to not having the drivers
Can anyone port AOSP 1.6 or higher to our heros with working camera, mms, and sms? I would be willing to donate

At the top of the Hero CDMA page is a tab that says sticky ROMS. That is where we hide all the ROMs for the hero.
1.6, everything works except BT and camcorder. You may have to use handcent for sms/mms (or it may not work for you at all, but you will never know until you try):

I thought about tryin to throw n toast n flipz new kernel into a 1.6 Rom I'm hoping good things happen
Keep us updated on the progress! I loved the AOSP ROMS, just didn't love the lack of certain functionality (Camera).
So, now that I hear the camera is working, I'm going to try one or two out!
The new kernel doesn't support camera on 2.1 not sure about 1.6
Tried the 1.6 rom. SMS didnt work so fail on that. I love darchdroid v1 but i really need camera. I really had my hopes up with the official darchdroid v2 coming out. I could care less about over clocking. Darchdroid v1 was faster than any other rom without oc so no point in putting my hardware at risk. I just hate going back to sense UI. I like basic Android. I also see that the GSM Hero and even the g1 have full functioning eclair roms. I'm sure our time will come soon enough
I'm afraid we won't get a really solid AOSP for 2.1 until HTC releases the 2.1 source for the hero.
I'm sure this so obvious it's staring me in the face and I've just been on these awesome forums too much in the last 72 hours to see straight (trying out every known ROM on my newly rooted HTC Magic ^_^)
But is there a Sense UI with Android 1.6? The "Rom Bible" thread doesn't include any roms for it.
Sorry if this is obvious :S
nope there is currently no sense UI 1.6 Rom
Excellent, I'm not crazy.
Sucks, there's no 1.6 Sense ROM.
Oh well, thanks for the info!
Like many other peoples i started with stock(duh) moved to liberated and then to CM6. But today i did some researching and the new sense is pretty cool, hopefully will be added to liberated 2.2. My question is, will you guys be moving back to sense 2.2(hopefully with new sense) or staying with CM6?
I'll probably try Froyo Sense when it gets put in Liberated, but I'll probably stick with CM6 unless I'm completely blown away. I do miss parts of Sense though.
Yes. I know that people are quick to dismiss Sense but I like it a lot, especially after using Motorola phones, that are garbage.
I have used every ROM available for this phone and Froyo with HTC Sense would be perfect for me.
I keep going back and forth between CM6 and a ROM that I tinkered with that is like a hybrid. I really hope they have an official update soon or a ROM that combines everything.
Is that asking for too much?

Ditto.
Now to wait and see.

I want froyo sense mmmmmm.
As long as CM upgrades to using the new kernel thats supposed to be released with Froyo I'll stay loyal to CM.
I'd rather have sense -
For me it will depend on if they add in extra features into the Sense that aren't likely to be added into CM.
CM has been a blessing for this little Aria phone, but I do miss Sense UI.
Does this mean htc's 2.2 for aria is around the corner?:

If given a choice, I'd definitely prefer 2.2 Sense!
I'd go with Sense as I like the UI and many of its widgets.
I enjoy some elements of Sense, as they're very carefully designed and work effectively. Conversely, I will only install a ROM if it's as open and customizable as CM6. Android is supposed to be about a more open system and I don't understand why these companies can't understand the needs of power users.
Sense 2.2
I hate to admit it but I miss the pretty. I also carry the iEvil and it's tough to pull out CM6 and not winch a little. For all the UI haters, there is a good reason big companies spend tons of money on the user experience. Functionality can be enhanced with a great UI.

*crosses fingers*
According to the specs I saw the HTC Bee has a different (inferior) CPU.
There should be enough guts in that ROM to strip out the hardware specific bits and put in Aria ones.
Attn1 -- looked at that yet? Prognosis?
How come non android native (IE:Hd2 ect ) can get froyo sense and we can't ? Not *****in because I can't make it , but someone can . Maybe a good write up on how to build a rom is in order .
I tried and liked the CM6 mod and everything that went with it, but as I dont have an iPod or anything, not having the radio to listen to is a dealbreaker for me.

I was posting that as a possible indication ours is soon to follow. That rom is for a CDMA phone...which means we can probably forget about porting that to the aria.
