Thread updated 17/01/2011 (d/m/y) to include FlyKernel 12a and a download for AngryBirds 1.3.5 for those who needed it. thread has also been cleaned up and old content removed. Instructions have been updated accordingly. Please let me know of any bugs or tweaks that need to be made.
Install for fully working Android Gingerbread Keyboard and newest Market at the bottom of this post!
This is a collection of packages that can be found around these forums that I believe amounts to the perfect Hero Setup. I am NOT a developer (although I have been known to make some themes and do some graphics work in the past), and I do not claim to have created any of this content. Instead what I am bringing you is a kind of gathering of the choicest picks from the Hero development forums, as well as the CyanogenMod 6.1 Final base. Most of this post is entirely optional, so this will allow you to build your own device, based on your preferences. Leave out things you feel you do not want, or add in extra steps if you feel you need them. Either way this will allow granular control of your Hero, for you to set it up just the way you want.
If nothing else this should be treated as a learning experience, if however you are unsure, and the post below looks a little daunting, you should consider flashing Floyo (created by the very talented erasmux) which is a complete packaged ROM. A lot of the content here has been taken from offerings that he has made available.
I take no responsibility for you destroying your phone. But for ME, my Hero is now the fastest it has ever been, with much better signal (and hugely faster browsing speed) with a theme I really love. So, presuming your Hero is already rooted, do a FULL wipe of everything, and then:
1) Flash Cyanogen Mod 6.1 FINAL in recovery (no need to reboot yet).
2) Flash Cyanogen Google Apps Addon.
3) Reboot your phone, log in and go through the initial setup. Once this is completed, reboot into recovery again.
4) (UPDATED) Flash Flykernel 12a (HUGE thanks to erasmux, this kernel is amazing). The version linked here is the one I have found to work best with this particular Hero setup (352-576, as such this is not overclocked, but performs exceptionally on my hero and doesn't have the annoying wake up issue, info on how to rename the file to overclock the kernel can be found at the erasmux flykernal post if you wish to do so). NOTE: Do NOT use the "-noatime" switch as this caused reboot loops for me in CM6.1.
5) Flash this notifications fix (provided by erasmux) which should fix some slightly hinky notification issues (jogball etc). This should now not be required with the newest Cyanogen build, I will do more testing and completely remove this section if this is confirmed.
6) Boot phone and let it get to the homescreen.
7) Reboot into recovery for the final time.
8) Flash The Latest Radio from this thread.
9) Reboot the phone (this may take a while after the radio installation).
OPTIONAL SETTINGS!
10) If you like using the HTC_IME mod, you can install it by manually installing the Clicker and then THIS version of the HTC_IME mod created using the AMAZING theming tool provided by gIMpSTa. I have created a theme that suits the feel of this CM6.1 based ROM using his tool, and it is working perfectly on my phone.
11) Enable JIT by going in to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance Settings > TICK "Use JIT" - And then reboot your phone (You can turn this off if you have issues with it turned on). In the latest Cyanogen 6.1 FINAL JIT is working perfectly, so unlike with RC1, I would now recommend having this turned ON!.
12) If you have issues fixing GPS sats, or if GPS does not update correctly when using it to navigate etc then you can try flashing THIS FIX (GPS libraries taken from FroydVillain and provided by erasmux as a fix for his Floyo ROM). If you are having issues actually fixing satellites you can also try flashing either the Europe, US or Asia sat-packs which can help GPS lock speed in your continent (if everything is already fine, you might want to avoid flashing these). Personally, I DO NOT use GPS on my device, so I can't comment on how well any of this works, but erasmux really knows his stuff, so I'm sure it will work if you are having problems.
13) CM6.1 comes with the NEW (official) Apps2SD built-in. However, the app needs to support this method or it will not allow you to move the app to the SD card. For those of you that prefer to use the OLD STYLE Apps2SD you can download it and flash it separately to enable this feature on this build of CyanogenMod.
That's the main setup sorted. You MAY have an issue with the Market following the radio installation (I did). If this happens, follow the instructions in this thread, the first fix (clearing the data) worked for me.
OK! Now on to apps. There are a few apps that really are a must if you want your Hero to both look and feel smooth as silk. So head over to the market, and download the following:
1) LanucherPro (Cyanogen comes with ADW, but I MUCH prefer LauncherPro). I use the XTG mod created by signals23 which has much more attractive widgets (if you have purchased the LP-Plus edition (I strongly recommend you do). You can, of course, use ANY homescreen, but LP is definitely my choice for beauty and speed. I actually DELETED ADW using: adb shell - rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk once I had LauncherPro installed, so it was no longer on the phone at all.
2) Beautiful Widgets - You have to pay for this, but trust me, it is absolutely worth the small amount of money. Once you have it, you can install any clock theme you like, such as SwirlClock made by yours truly
3) SMS Popup. Seriously, this app is amazing. Go into the default messages app, and turn off notifications. then head into the SMS Popup settings, and go into additional settings, turn ON "Quick Reply" and turn OFF "Screen on for Popup".
3) Youlu Address Book. I no longer recommend DialerOne on the Hero, as I find it too slow, especially when using the T9 "Dialer Search" function to call contacts using the numeric keypad. I find Youlou to be much faster, with a nice interface with an easy to navigate tabbed UI.
4) Advanced Task Killer. Once installed, open it up, turn off the notification bar icon in settings, and add your most frequently used apps to the ignore list (so the killer always leaves them running for speedy access). I usually leave: Messaging, Email and DialerOne in the ignore list.
5) SyncMyPix. Lets you properly sync your facebook contacts pictures so that they show up in DialerOne and LauncherPro.
6) Facebook app, or, whatever
7) Photoshop Express. I only add this here because there is no way of uploading multiple images to Facebook using the standard "Gallery" app, but you can do this using Photoshop Express, pretty nice little app, but this feature makes it worth having.
8) THEME! If you want to change the stock theme from white to black, go to: Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > User Interface > Tweaks Extras > Select a Theme and change your theme to STOCK_Black and then reboot your phone. This makes all of the theme a very nice gloss black effect WITHOUT having to flash a seperate theme ROM over Cyanogen (which is a much better way of doing things, as you are not replacing the newer .apk's with older, themed ones... Yes, I know the browser icon kinda sucks, but you can always download the nicer icon .png from here
9) Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Keyboard. If you want to install this keyboard, it will overwrite the existing Android 2.2.1 Keyboard (and currently there is no way of going back). The Gingerbread keyboard is FULLY FUNCTIONAL, this version now has working dictionary and autocorrect. You CAN still use the HTC_IME keyboard with this installed though, so if you hardly use the stock Android keyboard anyway, there shouldn't be much harm installing it and giving it a shot. HERE it is for those of you that just can't wait
10) The newest Android 2.2.6 Market. Flash in recovery, tested working great on my Hero, very lovely interface and nice and fast
11) (NEW) Angry Birds 1.3.5. for those of you who were wondering how I got angry Birds to run pretty well on the Hero, use this version rather than the latest one available on the market
DONE. Of course, you can modify this in any way you like, but after completing all of this you will have your own, pieced together ROM, without any strange extras or crap you don't really need. On top of this, you can head in to the ROM manager that comes with Cyanogen and install ClockworkMod recovery (if you are still using an older Amon-Ra or something), which is nice and easy.
Also, I'm not joking. It's fast... The screenshot below is with common apps (messages, emails, dialerone) running, and I still have 86mb of free memory. The battery life is fantastic, signal is great, call speed, wifi locking etc all seem faster than I have had them before. So, let me know your results (I have not tested GPS!).
And there yo go, your own freshy squeezed Hero, complete with all the trimmings. Baste lightly in your own choice of apps and serve.
Zeb
This post will be updated as newer packages are released.
</walloftext>
interesting, thanks. There's also an ADW-remover script on the Floyo page.
I didn't realise people were theming LauncherPro widgets to that extent, will have to investigate!
m8 you have done about 90% of the changes that i have put to my hero.
definitely is the perfect setup for me too.

If you are coming from VR12 you will have to do a FULL wipe of everything (nand, battery setting, dalvik etc) in recovery before flashing all of these packages. So make sure you have backed up everything you want to keep before starting! I have no idea what effect flashing this stuff over an existing ROM will have as I did it all from scratch with a blank phone.
The Radio is possibly the riskiest aspect of this setup, and you can choose to leave it out alltogether if you wish, but for me this made possibly the largest difference, as everything from connecting to Wifi, switching back to 3G/HSPDA is much faster. Signal is better, and small things like initialising the dialler (the time it takes from me choosing to call a contact, to it actually ringing) feels much speedier, so I personally do recommend it! You don't need to use this Radio to use Flykernel 11c, so feel free to leave it out if you wish.
Zeb
Edit: I just noticed, do you mean, can you use Flykernel on it's own with VR12 without any of the other stuff? Yes, I believe you can, check you the Flykernel thread for more information, but I think it works for most ROMs.

If you flash only the kernel, you don't need to do anything else - No wipe at all necessary. Updating the radio is not related to the update of the kernel but still recommended as usually it also improves the hero experience and if there are problems you can always go back
I just received my refurbished hero (the digitalizer was dead) and am trying your setup. So far everything on the setup side was fine though I had a random reboot after flashing the kernel.
I will update with my feelings on this setup, thx for the guide!
I like this post ... what are the advantages of elelinux or floyo over the standard CM 6.1 release though? I tend to go for one of those instead for some reason!

I believe that the authors of these releases make modifications to the kernel, as well as making theme changes, adding packages of their choice etc. Some distributions are modified more than others (and not ALL of them use Cyanogen as a base I believe). You'd have to look at the specifics of those other ROMS to see exactly what is different (sometimes it's small things, such as the way the jog-ball flashes or how the LED behaves, and sometimes it's bigger, like having hacked settings, or adding otehr keyboards like the HTC_IME mod (which Cyanogen doesn't have as standard, but I prefer the android keyboard anyways). You can always add these things in yourself later if you know how, which is what I have chosen to do using this setup. this way you have complete control over what is added to your phone.
Also, Flykernel, and the Radio mentioned here have serious performance benefits over other offerings as far as I am concerned. you COULD just flash those two over the ROM of your choice, but doing things the way I have mentioned above just gives you a larger level of granular control, if thats what you really want that is
Also, I have wanted to use Cyanogen as a base for a while to see how it was, but I found it very hard to find decent documentation on how to set it up correctly, that is why, once I worked it out, I decided to post the method I used here for other people to try.
Zeb
thanks for the quick reply I kinda like flashing and starting from scratch on a clean install and adding things bit by bit so I'm guna follow ur guide and set my hero up myself.... also thanks for pointing me in the direction of the alternate launcher pro mod ... looks pretty cool!

No problemo! Just as a side-note, the kernel that COMES with Cyanogen 6.1 seems good enough, but I had problems with waking the phone up (sometimes I had to push the power button 3 or 4 times to get to the unlock screen). This is a pretty standard issue with a lot of kernels where the minimum clock speed is a little too low and the phone doesn't quite rev up enough when waking up. So, if using CM6.1 as a base (as posted above) Flykernel is a must (using the clockspeeds I posted above), as it removes this issue entirely and boosts overall performance.

agree for the configuration, is the best(for now )
however,instead of sms popup i use handcent sms, the application is very similar to the application of the iPhone, and has a built-in sms popup...try it!

Nice addition, thanks! I have used ChompSMS before, but I really like the messaging app in Android 2.2, so I prefer to stick with that and use SMS Popup to handle the quick reply (which is an awesome feature). Also, the theme I posted skins the SMSPopup notification screen to fit with the rest of the device, to it looks extra good and as though it was really all put together into a proper ROM package.
I haven't tried Handcent myself but I have heard good things about it, so yea, probably worth a try if you aren't keen on the stock SMS app!

thanks for this, very useful especially the sms popup thing
Hello to all and thank you for the great topics on whatever is needed to tweak the Hero to full potential. I would like to flash a new rom (from VR12). Should i flash CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC1 or wait for a custom rom based on CM 6.1 like Floyo or Elelinux's ROM. What would you suggest?
HTC_ime simply does not work. every time i try to to start it it force closes. I followed instructions as i usually did every single time before. help?

Any chance you can add some of the settings you use, like cyanogen or spare parts settings? I followed your guide completely and its pretty fast but i think enabling JIT might help but im too afraid to try. Thank you
So, I guess I'll just C+P my post from the SetCPU thread since no one was able to answer the question there. I figure I might get some help from the EVO crowd since this might be specific to the device.
'So I have a wee bit of an issue with 2.0.4 I think... I just rooted my EVO 4G, installed SetCPU, AutoDetect, main Profile 768/460 set on boot. However, I rebooted and it says in the Notification bar that that's the profile it's running, however when I open up SetCPU the speeds jump between 245 and 998...Is SetCPU not throtleing the CPU correctly?'
Also, the only options for SetCPU I'm getting are userspace, ondemand and performance.
Is there something I did wrong when I rooted it?
What kernel are you using? The reason I ask is because I had the king #12 installed and setcpu didn't seem to be doing anything. Based on the the scaling options it sounds like a Toast kernel. Different kernels get different options. King kernels have about 5 different scaling options. I think for $29.95 he will add a 6th option.
Stock kernel. I haven't gotten around to messing with the kernel or ROM yet. Do I have to be running a modded kernel for SetCPU to function at all?

Well this is very simple then you can't OC the stock kernel. I also don't think that SetCPU can govern a stock kernel. You must flash either Toast or Kings..
SetCPU will govern a stock ROM, just hit menu on its main screen and select Disable Perflock. Disable the perflock and tell it to do so on boot. Then you can change the clock speeds around and profiles will work. Only downside is it still won't overclock, but if you are looking for power savings, this is the way to do it.

Ya I didn't think you could use setcpu with a stock kernel so that's some good info right there.. thanks.
Thanks! That did it! I wasn't really liking the idea of flashing a custom ROM or kernel to my device just yet, so this is great. I had my fair share of issues with HD2 running custom ROMS and kernels and for now I want something that just works until I get more familiar with the process.
Thank to Workshed for finding the errors!
Universal Script for Android Phone No more RING lag phone rings by the 2nd ring and screen and caller ID pops right up.
There are a few vers to test I am uploading my ver of it now it has a few tweaks removed for the CPU and kernals. But added a few thats it works much better now and it will get along with other Twaeks like supercharger.

I patched it up and also tested it and the file is running great without any errors as far as I can see.
By the end of the 2nd ring the phone lights right up with caller ID and rings even with custom ringtone. The dialer when placing a call is so much faster when it opens it just POPS.

Sorry to jump threads on you, I didn't want to clog up CondemnedSoul's thread with questions/comments specifically about this script....
After loading & rebooting, I didn't notice any problems. The phone seems a bit snappier with this in general, although I still haven't tested the incoming calls thoroughly yet. I am running this script on Comndemned v17 S2h in combination with the v6 SuperCharger, and the 3G & Kernel Tweaks. Based on a recommendation from CS, I also modified the following line in the build.prop from
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=500
to
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0
I haven't noticed any conflicts or issues yet, but I wouldn't necessarily classify myself as a heavy user.
I have another question for you. Since it was easy enough to modify the CPU speed, if I change the governor in the following line
GOVERNOR_SCALE="ondemand";
to smartass so that it will match my CM7 performance settings, will that cause any issues? Does this script need to be set to ondemand in order to work correctly?

I don't think matching it matters so much as it is set to RUN the the CPU speed set 1 time on start up be for cm7 sets it's speed. CM7 looks like it will override it after it's booted. So even if you load the 710MHZ ver and have cm7 set at 600mhz it will drop to 600 after cm7 is fully loaded.

I have been testing it with and without supercharger and it seems fine for me. However it be nice if we can just make a new script for just rintone lag so there will be no conflicts at will even if your just OC with CPUboost.
I think we will see soon DEV apping just the phone LAG stuff into there ROMS. This way we can just boost or OC with any other apps or scripts.
I don't think they are playing well. I don't usually use the super charger script, but had applied multi tasker setting after a few apps were killed by system that I wanted running in background. First, I notice extremely poor battery life - some service kept the phone awake all night so it didn't fully charge. This also happened yesterday with xda app, but don't know what did it last night. Also, notice that the super charger minfree values did not stick, so the 00tweaks must over ride them at startup. I was having the background app problem before the tweaks, so I suspect that the super charger kernel tweaks conflict with the 00tweaks. Undid both for now

Getting rid of the 00Tweaks seems to have solved my screen redraw issue for the moment. I was also having some issues with lag after leaving certain apps, and that is gone too.

Maybe it the laucher or the ROM your on mine is working great, But has also been the same with or without supercharger is I do not get redraws or any teaking. I am Runing worksheds last release 3.8 and it is working great. I never use ADW so can't tell you if it is that or not. As if I test or use a rom and it has ADW or any other lanucher on it I always add lancher pro on it and resign the rom befor I even install it.
Maybe you can talk to TAZZ811 on the like from the OP. and see if he can help use out with just the phone lag tweak with no mem or kernals tweaks. Thats what I think we need.
I am sicking with it on my phone I hate missing calls And with this tweak my phone lights right up with the caller ID and it's ringing just as the 2nd ring starts. I hope others try this out and see if they get the same thing.
It maybe as easy as just removing or #out the kernal and mem tweaks on the script.
The 00tweaks universal script does a lot of things I'd rather control elsewhere or not muck with. So, I isolated the portion of the script that pertains to the ring lag. I pushed the attached file to the init.d folder.make sure you remove the .txt part. No adverse effects that I notice yet. Phone sounds on the second ring. Good luck.

Nice, I did the same thing. I tried leaving in a few of the other tweaks to see if I notice any difference (either way). If I start running into problems again, I'll check your version out.

Nice I was testing with that also. I hope it all works out for you with your setup. I can make a flash .zip ver of each one to make it easy for others.
Thanks for testing this out. I hope DEV's just start rolling it in there roms.

klobkelosh, sorry for the newbie question... how do i get to the init.d folder? and i tried deleting the extension in file manager with no luck
Hello.
I've got a stock Android 3.2.1 (A501 4.066.29 COM GEN1) rooted with Stock/HV/Taboonay V3.7 for HC 3.2 16-10 - 1.64Ghz/UV control kernel.
The question is:
how to set cpufreq parameters (governor, max_freq,..) WITHOUT using 3rd party apps so that the parameters were restored after reboot.
Thank you for reading this.
Either the kernel needs to support init.d scripts or a service needs to execute on boot.
That kernel doesn't support init.d and Voltage Control has a startup service.

Forgive my ignorance but I can't put to use your answer.
I don't get where is Voltage Control and what I have to do.
Get Voltage Control from the market, make adjustments, save as boot. You'll be given the option to save as init.d script or startup service.
Well.. I tested it. Odd app.
First of all it can see only one core. It's funny. After reboot cpu0 works in conservative mode, max_freq 1.4 GHz and cpu1 in ondemand mode, 1.0 GHz.
I tried to edit init.d script and add the 2nd core but after reboot cpu worked with the default kernel values - script didn't work at all.
Moreover Voltage Control shows voltages turned upside down - the less cpu frequency the bigger voltage values. I fear to use this app
Download setcpu or antutu cpu master it recognizes dualcore , has the boot option
More education would be advised To you PLEASE DONT BREAK YOUR TABLET
Please do not take this the wrong way..
it does sound like you do not know what your doing.. I suggest you read more about over clocking./under voltage of a TEGRA 2 DEVICE.. That will get you more understanding about what you need to do. And maybe even help you decide if you really want to do this or not.. There is alot of resources online about this subject. I have tried custom kernel with set cpu.. I use it on my 650 mhz phone. clock it to 768. but it has a huge battry issue when running at that speed.Not to mention It would be dangerous to leave it on my purse with something running might be a fire bug.. GOOD LUCK .
Basically lower voltage at higher frequencies keeps the CPU stable. Leaving it linear would increase temperature exponentially.
Script Manager can run scripts on startup but I don't know how you could disable them if they keep it from starting up.
I didn't know about VC and dual core though. My bad.

Thank you.
I tried all cpu related apps from the Market that I was able to try. Now I want to try to get along without them.

Thank you Erica
I don't understand? You want something that does the same thing but you don't want to know it's there?
I found one app called System Tuner that lets you adjust CPU frequencies individually. I don't know why though.

Thank you but it looks too bulky for such a small task. And I still don't want to use 3rd party apps

Actually I don't like how these apps work. And I thought that setting up a few parameters would't be difficult. It seems I was wrong.
Yep. Code has to execute to do stuff, otherwise that stuff doesn't get done.
System Tuner Pro allows voltage adjustments on overclock settings. If you're interested. Also, has a lot of packages integrated into one (task manager, app freezer, etc). They have a free version in the Market if you're interested. It's nice to have several apps, in one nice package.

Thank you but I actually don't need it anymore
I have rolled back to the stock kernel because of constant "sleep of death" issue.

It's because the 3.7 kernel you used, is really not compatible with the a501. The ultra-low voltage causes "screen freeze" and the "sleep of death" when under 3g only. It's a known issue with the 501 and 3.6 and 3.7 kernels also. I would reccommend RTrips 3.4+. Probably his best for for a501.
I ship it with my own Alexandra II and III rom. No issues with it, and none ever reported.
Had I noticed when I woke this morning, you had an a501, I could have given this advice. Sorry, didn't have enough coffee

The problem, is that a lot of dev's, don't have a501's, only a500's. So they really can't test a lot on it. And sometimes, the issue doesn't happen for 2 or 3 days. Sometimes less. I'm going to experiment a little this weekend, with some of the newer kernels, and mess with the voltage's and see if I can get it stabilized where it doesn't freeze on 3g only.
Moscow Desire ,
Thanks for clearing it up and the advise. I'll try either 3.4 kernel or your ROM.

If you go to RichardTrips kernel thread, you will see a link to his older kernels.
You will find the 3.4 listed on his server. I think you just need to flash it, although I usually dump Dalvak cache.
Alex II is an easy install. Alex III (3.2.1) is a little more ... interesting to install, but not difficult. If you run into an issue, post it in my thread. Everybody else has got it installed, so I think you'll have no issues either.
It's the only "certified" 3.2.1 for the Acer a501 that I know if. Not that the other roms are bad, because they really are good, but, the 3.2.1 they advertise, are from system dumps after running an update, or adding missing files to a 500 rom. The TMPL is an Acer release.
Like the title says, I was just wondering if there was a way to change the default CPU speed on boot permanently? I know I can use SetCPU, but sometimes that hasn't held through a boot and I had to set the speed manually. So, I was hoping there was just some script somewhere I would have to change. But then I got to wondering, would that be possible from my phone? Would I have to build my own kernel? Or would I just be able to decompile the rom in dsixda's kitchen to change a kernel script? Any help is greatly appreciated!
I use ROM Toolbox. It has a ton of stuff including CPU Control and CPU Profiles (like to make it 691MHz max when the screen is off). And you get a lot of other stuff with ROM Toolbox. But you could say the CPU part is like Set CPU. Don't really know if this answered your question. Hope I helped though.
I'm pretty sure CM7 has a built in CPU setting feature in its Cyanogenmod Settings -> Performance menu. It gives you the option to set on boot as well. I've never played around with it so I'm not sure if it'll give you the same problems you're describing now, but it's worth a shot if you don't want the separate app.
Is your phone rooted?
