He hasn't officially released this 5.0.7 yet but hes about to. So he must still do work with the g1....etc

I would argue that Damage is our Cyanogen. I mean, his rom even uses a built in updater like Cyanogen. Plus it rocks.
DamageControl = Our Cyanogen. Duh.

We have toast and flipz and darch and treve.. All four are great. Damage is also good when he has the time

I'm not saying that our devs aren't great but i would like a rom like cyanogenmod.

so your all saying youd block his IP if he came aknocking
i agree, flipz and toast and damage have truely earned their spots in android history. i hope to see damage over at the evo portal one day :-D

that g1 had a fully functioning gallery... wow

The hero has fully working 3D gallery with working auto rotate and multitouch. I'm using the same Gallery3D in ZenHero and it should work for every Sprint 2.1 rom.

Cyanogen actually releases his source code.
So that's at least one important difference.

We most likely won't get cyanogen around these parts because he stated before he doesn't like sense ui, so let's appreciate what we have,i think our devs are great anyways!

you guys do know my darchdroid rom is built from cyanogenmod sources, right?

You're really gonna mention these three without mentioning Darch?! That guy effing rocks. He started with a near cyanogenmod rom port, then ported AOSP 2.1, and an crazy good Legend rom. Im not gonna bash any of our devs, but Darch is definitely top notch. I know prolly just forgot to mention him and that you agree completely with me, I am just giving the guy the proper credit he deserves

darchstar owns a cdma hero go buy one asap!

i couldn't agree with you more darchstar is a amazing dev no need to upgrade to a nexus-one i know i have Darchdroid it owns all the right tweaks and mods and it keeps getting better try it and see
Darchdroid is a clean fast vanilla aosp 2.1 rom with no bloat what so ever if your a fan of cyanogen Darchdroid is the closest thing to a cyanogenmod rom your gonna get on your hero
and i'am pretty sure owners of other phone models wish they could have a great dev like darchstar cooking roms for them were lucky to have him xda-devs own

The previous 2 posters speak the truth about Darch, he is one of the few that thinks outside the box, I have been running his Darchdroid 2.1 OC+JIT for over a week without a single problem!
He is the ****!!!!!!!

I think it's more that he's the most well known ROM generator for android since the early days and, to my knowledge, on the front of the curve of new things as well (due to his own skills and also, I believe, due to his fame...people who figure new things out will likely report it to him to get it integrated into his ROMs right away too).
This is good news.
I'm still running a stock ROM. I'm waiting for something big to come out before I flash a new one.

Sense in CM6?
Okay, this is a BURNING question in my brain, someone please answer it.
When CM6 is released for the Evo, will sense be included?
because i've started to really despise sense since i've gotten the Evo, and i really hope CM6 looks and performs exactly the same on the Evo as it does the Nexus.
FYI cyanogen got an Evo yesterday for 300 bucks from someone.
Epic.
Can't wait.

Just for clarifications sake and since I've been around since the G1, Cyanogen was not the first, that title belongs to JesusFreke. Haykuro was the first to bring SenseUI to the G1. Cyan fame-dom came after they took their, either quiet or loud exit. All 3 brought their A game and advanced the rooting community to where it is today.
So anyway...this is definitely good news. I've gotten my EVO in the last couple of days and have been reluctant to root. I'm not the trusting type when it comes to my phone so seeing Cyanogen working on this device makes me much happier. I know with CM roms there will be less forcecloses and MOAR WIN.
I'm excited about this one. The EVO is basically my first Android phone (I had a backflip for a while, but there isn't even a root it) so I haven't used cyanogen in the past, but his reputation is good, and I think his roms are the kind I am looking for. If I understand they are very close to stock AOSP, with some performance tweaks, but with a very high focus on stability, and sometimes more stable than the OEM releases.
I love some of the ROMs we have currently, but it seems like many of the devs value features and speed tweaks over stability.
cyanogen is great, I used his Roms on the Droid and loved them. Can't wait for the Evo release.

so is that pretty much it for ROMS?

Before I rooted I would read all these posts about how great the roms would be after Sprint released 2.1. So finally I rooted this weekend, and as I look through all the ROMs they all have major issues, and a lot of the major players have moved on to the EVO. So is that it. As soon as 2.1 comes to us we are left with a bunch of roms that don't work any better, or worse, then stock? That is unless I'm willing to cut out all of HTC and Google software.
Please give me advice as to what I do with this rooted phone now.

Not all of the phones have major issues if u read a lot of the roms they tell if they have any. Also there r stock roms that can be overclocked. We've had three or four devs leave to the evo. That not the end of the world plus they left with final full working roms. If ur not happy with something then for it itself or realize nothing is perfect and that these devs spend a lot of there free time cooking there roms and get real tired of hearing people complain about something that us free. Be a little grateful. Read, search, to a little homework and then ask the questions u have inside ur head before u post a dumb question
Look around, no one here is going to hold your hand.

I would chalk up the majority of the "user problems" to user error such as not wiping between flashes or bad 3rd party software with memory leaks or preventing the phone from sleeping...
Sadly a good number of devs went on to the Evo, even worse is some left in the mid of new releases without fixing some bugs.
Even though a couple of the dev's have moved on, there are still some great ones working on the hero. There are at least 6 or 7 fully functioning roms built on 2.1 right now and there's even some movement on 2.2.

As soon as 2.2 is fully functional I'm gonna make a rom of my own with it and I've got my second rom comming soon to 2.1 woohoo lol
Lol, I have been a member here for more then a year, but I don't post because I know what you get here when you post, I had 2 people call my question dumb or call me ungrateful..
Anyways, I was not being mean to the devs. I think their feelings are still intact (those who have not left)
As for reading and searching the forums, which the "positive" posters repeat like a mantra.... well I have been reading, I've been reading like crazy, and All I see are problems with the Roms because no one ever posts positive feedback.
However, I gather from those more productive posts here that the ROMs are very good quality. So from here ill try them out myself, and refrain from posting again for the next year.
Thank you and sorry to all those with tender feelings who where offended by the simplest of posts.
Just an FYI for everyone Fresh just put out a 2.5.2 BETA to donors.
I assume he will leave this one in 100% working order before he dumps the hero for good.
I think he said in the email something along the lines of "last build before FINAL" but don't quote my quote.
I haven't run a damaged ROM in weeks - I went from him to Darch which I feel is the end all.

Aloysius 2.1 is rock solid, fast, chocked full of goodies, and did I say, STABLE. Blows any stock Sprint ROM out of the water. DarchDroid 2.7 is good and fast if you like AOSP. And I liked RegawMOD a lot too (use Honeybun OC kernel for extra speed). Plenty of others out there as well. I really liked the Blue ROM but my Hero won't load it. Just try them and quit worrying about it. Use apps2sd and then nandroid and you can go back and forth without losing your apps.

Desire ROM with 2.2 Sense released - portability to be assessed

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720294
I am really excited about this.
If this becomes a good Sense Froyo build, I am very excited to see it be ported here.
If, by that time, no one is into porting, I will investigate what it takes.
I'm way too excited about Froyo with SenseUI.
I thought I'd point this out here, for all to see. I believe desire is 320x480*** (perfect) and that serves to make (some) things much easier.

2.2 With SenseUI Aug 3!!

"Google" The EVO Update As I'm Not Allowed to post links.. BOO.
The EVO gets 2.2 presumably with the SenseUI on August 3rd.. When this is released is there any chance that we will see this flavor of custom rom for our Hero devices?! Hopefully Darch and the other XDA experts wont let us go without.. We can ONLY HOPE!! Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge.. Surprised there isn't a leak already.. Or is there!?
There is, i am running full 2.2 100% working on my Evo, and HTC also posted the update.zip on their website, but Devs from the Evo have had sense working for awhile now, but it still hasn't been ported over because of the huge differences in frameworks
I really wish I knew what people liked about SenseUI. It just seems so bulky and slow to me.
darchstar told me many times tonight there will be no 2.2 sense port for the hero. (from the evo) the arch is different
Nfinitefx45 will be working on porting 2.2 sense here soon
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Thanks for the info!
I flipped through the EVO dev forum (reluctantly) and saw that they are already up and running on the latest froyo build which is awesome! I'm glad to see that all hope is not lost and that there will be some development for 2.2 with sense. To answer Zardos66 I personally like the facebook contact linking and the look of the UI. It has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with functionality and usefulness. The SenseUI is a bit clunky but I haven't found a happy medium with any of the roms that don't have the SenseUI. Just something I'd like to see and If it can be done I trust that the XDA Pros will knock it out of the park.. I'm very excited to see what can be made of this!! XDA FTW!

Even with OC, Sense still lags. It's is easy to mimic with less ram taken up.

2x4 people widget - free
Messaging Widgets - free
Weather and toggle widgets - $1.99
feels good man.
Supposedly we can't port the EVO 2.2 release over to the Hero because the EVO build is designed for a much faster processor. Our Hero couldn't handle such a port without A LOT of tweaking....in other words, almost impossible.
Whenever the HTC Legend gets their 2.2 release, that is probably the build that the devs here will try to port over for us. A couple people have already committed to doing this.

Darch released RC0 a few builds ago, i am currently running Not my dog too build and all is pretty well. Camera app is still pretty much useless but Camera Magic is a quick fix. The gallery is pretty messed up with auto rotate and such, but aside from pictures it is a MAJOR improvement over eclair. My Hero runs like a champ!

no still built on the snap dragon processor and is HDPI (high res) this is why we are waitng on the legend , it is the cousin to the hero in terms of processor and the fact that it is our exact resolution MDPI (medium). the legend is supposed to be on froyo within the next two months.

the bottom line is the hero should of got the 2.2 update. sprint isn't doing a good job of supporting their phones at all. i owned the evo for a week and while i liked the speed & size the pitfall was the battery life. none of the tweaks worked and you had to disable every feature of the phone.
The nexus one looks so good. Still. So much support for it. Being googles baby it will probably get gingerbread. Just saying almost a year old and still one of the best phones. ("Did I get ripped off?" I sometimes wonder)
i just heard droid users are getting froyo today. this is a bunch of bull**** and im pissed at htc. i should of kept my evo. talk about dropping the ball with the hero!
There will be no port from the Ego since there's wayy to much things to change its almost impossible, but our hope of 2.2 is from the legend!

@TheDudesAndroid @noobnl_epic @cyanogen @koush what do you think? http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2152
@noobnl_epic
@wesgarner @TheDudesAndroid @cyanogen @koush should be removed
the link in wes's tweet says
Change I36172fd3: vibrant: Temporarily remove from CM manifest
vibrant: Temporarily remove from CM manifest
Reasons:
1. It doesn't compile - this can be fixed, though
2. It doesn't work... - currently the kernel inside the repo doesn't work plus the build system is not set up to flash the kernel
3. The Vibrant repo is about 2mths old
4. The Vibrant repo contains proprietary. On my fork, I have changed everything over to use extract-files, removed proprietary from all commits using filter-branch
We can refork my repo for the Vibrant, but at the same time - it still isn't ready, so mostly having it on the CM repos for 6.1 RC's this weekend is pretty pointless considering where we are in getting CM6 for the Vibrant
My manifest (git://github.com/wesgarner/android.git) is setup for the current Galaxy S repos (aka my Vibrant repo and noobnl's Epic repo), but this is still such a WIP that keeping it on CM repos really just confuses people about the current status and makes it seem like it's ready when it isn't

Of course, i may be completely wrong. We can always hope
Whatever. Bionix is currently rocking my Android world. I'm not sure how much better it could really get short of Froyo involvement.

CM is not based only on froyo.
i'm fine with that. bionix is honestly better than cm was on my g1, and those cm guys are a bunch of assholes. if (mostly) one guy can build a rom from scratch, i don't understand how a whole team can't figure it out.
You cant expect one guy to make a rom for all android devices. If it doesnt work. O well. I mean there are other roms out there for those wanting to mess with there phones. Bionix is one. And many more to come to the vibrants way. You ppl keep asking these devs who have other lives outside xda. And then get pissed when theres no special rom for ur phone. C'mon now.

the donations were made to wes/scepterr... that has nothing to do with CM. true they are members of the CM team, but all they ever said was that they had plans to port CM6... that doesn't mean they have to, and anyone who decided to donate should have realized that a PLAN does not equal a promise.
if it fails, well crap. if they come back to it later and it works, hooray! until then, your donations belong to whoever you donated to. because that's how donations work.

You do understand that the g1s 528mhz processor was crappy as hell right? How can You possibly compare that too a 1ghz hummingbird?

Wow.... Are you serious? d
First you're comparing your Vibrant to a G1, of course it will be better! Even with a stock Vibrant.
Second, the CM guys or any dev for this matter, who gives their free time to make ROMs and MODs for peasants like you and I who cant do it ourselves, are assholes?! How?!
Third, yes it only takes one talented dev to build a ROM from scratch, but without the SOURCE they have no base to work on. It really isnt easy to make a ROM from scratch, and as far as I know only a few devs have successfully done so. Most of them base it on another dev's work or samsung itself...

I think yall misunderstood me, the Vibrant and other Galaxy S variants aren't off the boards for CM, they just PROBABLY wont make the 6.1 release

Umm....
Uhhh....
Do these guys know someone who can code ?
I hope so since those 2 lines coming from someone who CAN code are at best knocks against themselves.
*I coded something that won't compile* = I failed to do what I intended.
*I coded something that doesn't work* = I failed to do what I intended.
I would be ashamed.

Haha.... You think that the bionix ROM came from scratch??? He took eugenes base from the Ftwiz ROM. He even says it in the credits. Not trying to sell the ROM or development short, because it is a great ROM.
All the devs that are tied to the vibrant are trying to reverse engineer the code to get the 2.2 source which samsung has not released. Building 2.2 with out the source code is like building a sky scrapper from the top to the bottom, everything will crash. Where as 2.1 with source is building from ground up, you start from a solid foundation, then work your way up...
Wes also stated to anyone who wanted there money back, they can email him for a refund.
Just give it time. The source for the i9000 froyo was just released; it will come eventually, but development is going to lag behind that for the Nexus One, Dinc, etc. Just be glad we're getting some kind of CM; think of all the other phones that aren't even on the list.

Very true!
after reading their various tweets regarding them passing the buck on vibrant development, yes, they're assholes. it was clearly a joke to them because they know it's a huge hassle, so they should have just said it was probably never going to happen. i'm very grateful for the handful of devs that have actually stepped up and made this phone into what it should have been out of the box. it was clear that the cm team never cared in the first place.
