installed this fresh on my hero late last night and found it brilliant! Only thing is that the device id tag seemed to have changed (which upset some apps like imobsters). was easy to sort tho through in app recovery.

Only thing I cant seem to figure out is - where is the inbuilt wifi teathering? Also how do i do the desktop/online syncing of music and app install that was lauded as part of 2.2? It could be that its not included in this version due to incompatabilities im sure.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
710MHz

Please excuse my frustration, but why, oh why, do devs insist on releasing ROMs overclocked at 710MHz? I understand that everyone wants their ROM to the be the fastest with good benchmark scores, but please, please release ROMs running at standard speed (528) and let us overclock if we wish. When I tried this ROM yesterday, my phone became very hot and SetCPU did not seem to work too well at clocking it down at reboot. I am now getting weary of trying new ROMs. I do not want to fry my CPU.

Sorry for the rant. I feel better now. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stoney73:
how did you sort out the device Id tag?Could you give a step by step to a noob?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:
A huge work done with the rom and i am suprised with the speed the work is being done. It's basicly like 2 or 3 bugs left to fix and this ROM becomes fully usable? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
I imagine not, because cm6 not public yet. Prob sat or sunday.

I think the man will need sleep first anyway and the chance to check his work after rest to make sure he didn't imagine the while thing from lack of sleep ;)

Nice work Lox.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
but there is an alpha build for nexux or not?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Yes there is an Alpha release for nexus but its not ready for release, we wont see CM6 untill they are past alpha (i think) believe me im itching for froyo like a smack addict going cold turkey.we will have to wait!!!!!!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Awesome! I will keep an eye on this for use. Keep up the great work! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no such thing on hero :-)

brightness sensor is used as fake poor-man's prox sensor by an app on the market though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I think he's sleeping :-)

and yes, this does give food for thought about who is a truly capable rom "packager"

and finally - DAMMIT, I JUST got through stabilizing VR12, I'm happy with it 100% now, it's perfect for me. and what happens? you go and accomplish this... WAY TOO SOON for me to have time to get bored with vr12!

dammit... that's just not a nice thing to do.... I'll be bart backuping my vr12 install ready for your froyo any time :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Alright, thanks for clarifying this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
just relaying what I've read in developer forums. Would be nice if we had the real thing... that and an led flash... and a faster cpu... and a faster gpu... and more memory...

ok ok, I'm happy with what I have :-)

LoL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] killer4o:
I do realize that many of us are eager to flash new roms and stuff, but could you please respect people's requests? He asked for [dev] help about stuff he had trouble figuring out, he didn't ask how many people would love to get a CM6 on their hero's. And if I were Lox I would get pretty upset seeing my thread get spammed by questions about release date or whatever. So guys... please be patient and don't spam pointlessly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
sorry. I was orginally pointing out technical stuff actually. I talk too much sometimes. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
Well guys dont get your hopes up too high. I have working Froyo on my hero but the speed is... I dont know. Feels a lot slower then 2.1.

Maybe because I am running it on the 2.6.29 kernel. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
At least it's working! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
CM6 test0 Alpha preview is available here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
YES! This is what I've been waiting for for ages!!

Especially because we've gotta go to school today :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
This is great, hopefully it'll be a fully working rom in the near future!

Great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Damn you Lox !!!

Just started work, so I guess it's Titanium & Nandroid time, and download direct on my phone.

Just a sucker for new ROM's.

Did you get any sleep man lol ?

Thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nalorokk:
Do not work on my Hero.

Strange freeze on boot =(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
good job LOX,

will the flash palyer 10.1 be supported on CM6 for the hero in a near future?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
I think we wont ever get it- I'm sure it needs one of teh higher end arm processors to work on :(

Working nice so far , cheers Lox. Not getting any work done, playing too much with it :)

PS What's recommended radio ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxisma:
It will probably work, but very very slow.

It's laggy even on the Nexus One, so don't expect much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:
Am I missing loads of apk's or do I have to do something for the Market to appear? :s
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ricostuart:
yes. yes you do. its called reading.

sorry for the sarky comment, but it is on the very first page.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ricostuart:
mines running at a quite cold temp (unless heavily used with screen on, wifi or gps running at full pelt). Thats pretty normal. It doesnt run at max speed all the time, only when required.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ricostuart:
It was done in app mate. Majority of apps you use wont be fussed as they are new installs anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
is it??..........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:
Oh shize lol my bad! Thanks

EDIT: BROSWER KEEPS CRASHING?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avgjoemomma:
Glad that there is going to be "official" support from CM for the Hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
Does anyone know if Tethering is non-functional in this ROM, or is a certain driver required on the PC?

I've enabled it on my phone, plugged it in, but my PC (Windows 7 x64) doesn't seem to detect it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
Try with the APK from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706602

Elemag told me about it and that it could be used on CyanogenMOD 5.0.8 based ROMs for devices that have had Sense previously. Please try it out and report back :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ricostuart:
wireless teathering works fine. no usb teathering.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Discovered a work-around for Google Sky Maps not installing, and it may work for other apps that fail to install too.

1. Unmount the SD card in Settings.

2. Install Sky Maps

3. Remount SD card.

Found it in a Desire froyo rom thread so it looks like it's not just a problem on our Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
That's excellent helpful news thanks! Great detective work about the Google sky maps posts.

Radio Firmware: 6.18.5.06PH_6.35.15.11 (REQUIRED!)

Stated on the download page.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chripede:
I'm using 63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14 with this rom, and it works just fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spooke:
What would happen if I flashed this on an old Radio, would it work or do something bad :p??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samm000:
I am testing the rom and i like it a lot, but can someone make livewallpapers to work?

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lost101:
The danger is only around flashing an incorrect radio. So nothing 'bad' can happen if it's just a rom and no radio is included.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spooke:
So If I flashed this on radio (63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25), and it didnt work, what would happen? would I just have to go into recovery and flash something that works or restore nandbackup? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
i made an updatezip to enable livewallpapers: http://www.multiupload.com/UGJZYBDAAP
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _dsk_:
How long did it take for first boot for you guys? I think mine has been going for a good 25mins now!

EDIT: dont worry, i know what i did wrong :$
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
5 mins.......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
linpack results at 710 mhz= 5.017 MFLOPS
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Blue-K:
Great work, though I wait for a more stable release, I can't thank you enough :).

As soon as Cyanogen officially releases it, I'll donate a Beer for you and him ;).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nalorokk:
What you use for run it? It do not work (
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LSears:
Does anyone have a link for the 6.18.5.06PH_6.35.15.11 radio? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauldgroot:
jup, here it is.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nalorokk:
update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11-signed.zip

But this rom not working anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _dsk_:
Works fine, perhaps your download was corrupt?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nalorokk:
Scripts check md5 while you flash it... And i checked it self, all fine, no corrupt.

It freezes on boot with any radio i tryed (11, 14).

Also i reflashed it more than 5 times
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biox2003:
I am on the rom now and its working like a charm,no bugs yet here:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shakor:
Works for me perfectly. A bit slow though even clocked to 710Mhz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enchanterchi:
re

Does it support A2SD and JIT now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Just being curious, what is the current issue list?

Anyway really looks promising, keep up the good work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Its on First post !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
Roms running great, ive ditched AWD for launcher pro as its much smoother, and with an overclocker to 698, linpack gives me a consistant 4.7 score.

The camera does have a bug though, i can take pics fine, but i cant see what im taking on the preview.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
are you using the PU asia radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
Yeah hopefully the camera can be fixed in the next few days.. so whats the main difference between this and the nearly perfect and latest versions of ezhero and villainrom packed with stuff like voice 2 text, apps2sd etc.. where as froyos main advantage was apps2sd which was ported to 2.1 by our devs.

Eye Candy seems the same to me... ? any comments :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lolnl:
I flashed it and it works great although my wifi doesnt work it does connect but it doesnt send or receive data( I know this is a alpha so I am not complaining ), just curious if anyone else has the same problem ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Weird, Linpack shows only 0,144 and takes 37seconds to complete....

Overall performance is not too bad, bud far away from 5 MFlops... Must be something wrong.

No complaint, I know it's pre-alpha...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
i am about to flash in a bit lolnl and will tel u my wifi experience, but would you care sharing the experience of how.. does it feel better than 2.1.. or the same to u?

and in what way..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nalorokk:
:((((

Why this not work.

Recovery: Amon_RA 1.6.2

Radio: 11 and 14

Wipe all before flash, no errors during flash.

Loading animation ("X") freezes after ~3 min, then loads again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
overclocked to 710, and now getting 4.9 in linpack :D

Is aapps2sd like normal ? so we dont have to tick a box .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lolnl:
Hmm it feels about the same, but havent installed much yet but it is quick and havent experienced any sluggih performance yet.

When I am called it responds even faster in comparison to 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
Nope, my psk2 wifi is working fine. I am using radio version 14
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
Did u wiped everything?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mkolonko:
just amazing... i remember the first 2.1 aosp roms when they came out... buggy like hell. but this one is almost ready for primetime. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bratfink:
Mic

Just wondering if anyone has tested to see if the mic works? thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Yes, had a working phone call.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Well, all good so far for me. Speed feels good and loving all the new features :)

Was a little disappointed to not have the Launcher2, so I took it from Androbin's demo release and it works! Not 100% but is good enough.

Market is a bit buggy with some of the graphics, but it does work.

Great work all round guys :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
I must be dreaming.......... This is simply awesome! Froyo on Hero is working so nicely.. just gotta install apps now.. the camera is just not showing in viewer, otherwise its working properly. A minor glitch which i think should be fixed very soon. Once picture is taken u can see it great in the Picture Preview Window. And the camera has improved alottt...

Gotta say Froyo... U rock! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Could anyone add screenshots please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bratfink:
How did u port the Laucher2 over, i tried but get contacts FC's. Can you give instructions please :)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
I just extracted the Launcher2.apk from Androbin's Demo ROM, then created an update.zip

I have attached it. Just flash it from Recovery.

It's not as fast as LauncherPro, but looks pretty. Enjoy :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Camera does sort of work.anyone using this lilies myself,a quick fix for market protected apps

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Just tried a few Cameras from the Market, and with FX Camera you get half a frozen display, so that's no good, but with Camera Magic you can see the image before taking the shot. It's not 100% smooth, but you get the view.

Camera Magic is free and could do in the meantime.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skydg:
how about camera 360?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
This is simply awesome. Thank for the hard work guys :)

By the way, I can confirm this seems to be working just fine with Radio 6.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
How do you get apps2sd to work?

my apps are nt going to sd ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Does anyone have a mirror? Lox has used his free rapidshare limit

Edit: nevermind, web page didn't fully load with other links :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I can confirm this too.

Smooth like butter, great release. The camera is crap anyway, so I can't find any reason not to use this as my new daily. LauncherPro is work lightning fast and I'm constantly hitting linpacks of between 4.5 and 5. Live wallpapers would be a touch, but who cares right? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I went with Deposit files, it worked fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
I dont kno if this is a bug or a feature... but during incoming call , the slide to answer feature is not presently shown on screen , also trackball does not light for sms or miss call for me ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
other way around - rom hackers did apps2sd first... then google took the idea.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
@ dkelley - oh ok.. thanks for the insight...

by the way, voice 2 text doesnt seem to turn on, on my rom.

I think all these complaints i'm doing are supposed to be normal, :) of it being an Alpha release.

These are just minor additions to the phones sheer pleasure...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh, and by the way, dammit. I'm not happy about having to flash another rom again. my wife is going to kill me. I hate you for creating this. you're keeping me from spending quality time with my wife and kids!!!

WHY did you have to be so damned clever and productive??

cheers and THANKS for this amazing work (to be serious for a moment)!! :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kieranc:
I'm very impressed with this rom , seems to have built on where we were with 2.1 rather than going backwards. happily using daily now, no major problems :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I can't believe I'm booting froyo android 2.2 on my hero right now. I can't believe it... and it's only a startup animation so far LoL

update: took about 4 minutes to boot up the first time...wtf... so fast... and it knows my telus sp automagically??? first time ever in history for a new rom for me???? nice work with the apn list guys :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Peruzulu:
Cheers for this, but I had to use the following line I pinched from another 2.1 rom I previously used.

ro.build.fingerprint=chunghwa/htc_hero/hero/hero:2.1-update1/ERE27/183682:user/release-keys

Appart from that, this ROM is working great. Clocked to 710 and getting a linpak arround 4.8. The camera ain't working, but who cares.

My only problem is getting a different keyboard working. The HTC ime keeps dying on its arse and obviously every bloody copy of Swype I have found is out of date.

Chees for your work guys.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok ok ok this is nuts - the actual OS itself is responding faster than vr12. yes, launcher is slower, there are issues (I get android.system.media fcing all the time, I might have that name backwards)... but it's amazing. the actual apps launch faster, the applications menu is actually USEFUL finally and I won't be needing to resort to super fast uninstaller any longer. I'm overjoyed! I haven't been able to make a phone call yet, but my signal shows low so it could be that my house signal area sucks (it does, I know that for a fact, but 2.1 worked at least). I'll experiment more with that.

oh yea, and it synced with my work exchange account perfectly and virtually instantly and it supports full calendar syncing with exchange and the new integrated calendar is SWEET!!

recorded video and played it back but no picture either time, sound worked though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Htcime lo works if you push libt99.so from a rom using it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxisma:
Try Better Keyboard and SlideIT
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafi300:
APPS2SD doesn't work out of the box guys,

Heres the FIX!

install "terminal emulator" from Market,

start Terminal Emulator and enter:

su

pm setInstallLocation 2

this works true for root users!!

APPS2SD Activated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 123belly:
Amazing work i've come from Ezhero rom to this and hardly notice a negative difference..

But am i crazy or is there no way to sync facebook contacts..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arj03:
Awesome rom. I had wierd colors on the lock screen one time, but that's the only problem I have noticed. The browser is smoking fast :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maxisma:
That'S because the minimum clock is set to 245 MHz.. Change it to a higher value with SetCPU.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Amazing

This is it! We have a working Froyo on Hero. Amazing job! Guys you are awesome.

Apart from what was already told trackball light is not working. Some apps from market FC, but I think its not because of this particular ROM, but more because of froyo build itself.

Facebook sync also is not working. If someone could come up with fix could be cool.

Live wallpapers are working fine. You just need to push LiveWallpapersPicker.apk to /system/app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Could you upload a working livewallpaperpicker.apk please?

anyone else having trouble with restoring backups? I have a few Storrm8 games backed up, and although they have restored, the settings haven't so I have lost my account. Not a big deal, just wondered if it was only me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MysteryHero:
Thanks, do you know how to get a black notification bar? (the top bar)?

& The default battery monitor, as this replaced one is icky, I don't like how the 100 is displayed when it's full :-P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] developing:
You'd have to install a theme to change the color of the notifications bar, and the battery percentage counter looks like it's not fixable quite yet - I've seen versions of Spare Parts with options to disable it, so it might be possible to pull the .apk and push it to this ROM to edit those settings. A better solution might just be to wait for CyanogenMod 6.0 to grow a bit; remember this is a pre-alpha build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Did anyone notice that the phone is really getting a hot backside?

Another thing I noticed is that you cannot get into the phone through adb when it is running: error: insufficient permissions for device
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MysteryHero:
IT burn't my lap earlier :( like a electric shock but heat instead. [+] Does your phone vibrate for like 3 seconds before it turns off?~
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
my phone was very hot right after i started using it, however it cooled down after a while and now its pretty much at the average temperature.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
no sure if its been posted but market has a small graphic error, a small grey box on the top !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
hi can anyone confirm is gps is working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
Just remember guys, as Lox said, this is an early Alpha release. These guys know about most of the bugs and aren't looking for any bug reports right now :)

Yes, GPS is working :) Pretty well everything except the camera works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
Official forum thread moved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lox_Dev:
Be care Google apps are not part of CM6. The Gapps I have found are from nexus one it seems. If you want to correct the image glitch, better try to find froyo gapps from/for a device with same screen resolution as the Hero. I haven't found such a thing yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
We're pretty well out of luck on that front for some time to come.

No devices with the same resolution as the Hero have been upgraded to Froyo, as far as I know.

We may be waiting for a while :\

But, frankly, that's the only glitch I've spotted. If I had to choose between Froyo or a Market without a visual glitch in the header... I'd choose Froyo :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Do you remember where you saw that version of Spare Parts? I'm not a fan of the % indicator.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
That't too bad. I don't mind the graphic glitches in Market but the corresponding glitches in Gmail are more annoying. Earlier versions of Gmail.apk don't seem to work on top of Froyo either.

Otherwise this is one smooth alpha release! No real problems at all so far. Amazing work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
The one integrated in the settings in EzHero has this feature.
