I would recommend s0be's. 35 kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drakko1980:
Thanx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ohbuckeyeman:
The only thing I would caution against using s0be's kernel would be that it does not have a stable camera. Although older, Decad3nce's Decafuct kernel it's rock solid stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drakko1980:
So the dd kernel has solid support for all functions... bt,cam,WiFi,gps..etc?....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Hmm, yes BUT the #589 either scales to 768 freely and some heroCs can't handle the clock. OR is capped at 691 :( It also does not contain swappiness. I would suggest using the 768 version in the link below. It was forked from decafuct, boots at 691, scales to 768, and has swap. It is complete and full featured.

I would also tell you that MANY of the newer sourced builds (like our gingerbread sense ROM) require the .35 (s0be AP4+) kernel base for some functions. I doubt that will be the case here, just an FYI.

EDIT: looks like jasonmaloney pulled that, so, good thing I have dropbox :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] drakko1980:
Thanks for the links I'll see what I can throw together I may try both seeing how the MIUI does have sense-like features it may come in handy to see which one works better.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CH3NO2:
hdpi user here (evo) but if this was to happen for the hero itd be cool and give people with newer phones a reason to play with their heros again i and many others for one thinks it can be done just give the op time and stay optimistic about it and you never know....it'll be like when everyone said gingerbread was impossible to run.....miui will be on the hero!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Fyi the actual op is long gone. Thus project originally died because miui is closed source and originally complied for processors more advanced than ours, like your evo. If drakko gets a closed source built it well be nothing short of miraculous. I guess why not try again, thats why I put up some links. Are you a dev?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CH3NO2:
i know a bit about this and that, been with the android for a while..switched here from another forum so i really don't have many question..what do you need help with?

edit: if drakko does get this to work, it will be a miracle and a fantastic most appreciated on at that. also when i get time i might come back and do something for the heroc....probably nothing too spectacular but at least it'll be something for hero users to enjoy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
Oddly enough, I've found the miui camera app for cm7 plays well with s0be's .35 kernel. Now, if it will work on this rom with miui camera is a different story......

[Hero CDMA Android Development] drakko1980:
Ok... sorry bout the long wait between posts but I'm still working on it ...have been having issues with the build but I am still working through the kinks. Not having the MIUI source makes it that much more difficult. I haven't given up yet and I know that you guys are patiently awaiting to see results, as I am to give you one. Hang in there as I haven't forgotten about you.

i can compile from source http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_Kernel_from_source & http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Android_on_Ubuntu_10.04#Install_the_repo_utility

do minor apk edits and java/app programing but i wouldnt call my self a dev i am no where near on the level of darch, decadence, minheart, sobe or zenulator who is no longer with us. those are the kind of devs that are needed to get this kind of project off the ground but even the late great zenualtor has not attempted compiling a armv7 rom to arm v6 so im not sure its possible without direct access to the source
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Well, you're a lot farther along than I am! I heard that there are a few people who are willing and think that they're able to get this to run on our phones. Right now, I'll work on getting all the pngs edited, and then I'll pass the project on to them. Hopefully they are able to do it.

What happened to Zenulator?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] azr6:
That phone is insanely quick in that youtube video.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaronpoweruser:
all he said he is that he is no longer making roms he has found a better way to spend his time
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
That's probably wise...sometimes (often) this stuff can be very consuming. Alright...well, I better get to work. Hopefully we can make this happen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
holy moly! I just opened up some apks to look at the pngs...there are a LOT of 9.pngs! :( This could take a while!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jschill31:
I also would like to see this project move forward but to optimize it for our hero's will be a challenge. Getting something to boot is way different than getting a rom to run. It would be fantastic to have on the Hero but will it be the same rom or a cut n paste hybrid?

I wish you all a safe holiday season:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dustinmatthews87:
I really wish I could help but I have no knowledge of stuff like this, imo I think the work will be worth it. A family member of mine has MIUI running on there EVO and its pretty awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
I'm thinking that unless we get some real devs involved who know how to do all the fancy coding and stuff, we won't be able to have this ROM.

How can we get devs involved in this project? I'd hate to see this thing go to waste. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dustinmatthews87:
Im not sure, all the hero devs are hard core CM fans.

Sent from a wise jarhead that swapped out his moment for a froyo'd hero!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Hey guys. I'm so glad you are as interested in this as I am...but we honestly won't be able to do anything until we get some real qualified DEVS on board. I can do the images, but that wont get us a booting/working ROM.

So we need to work together to show the real devs that we are SUPER interested in this ROM and that there are potential donations ($$) involved for them.

So before you volunteer for testing, go out and get people psyched up about this ROM and see if you can just spread the news that we need help! What do you say?

The more people we have on board promoting this and recruiting help, the better. Thanks! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
you could PM some of the devs (rom builders specifically) and see if they respond, who knows maybe you'll get lucky. I would suggest linking the miuidev thread from your OP so they see some people who said they would get it to boot, and show them your progress so far. Hopefully you can get a dev team on this, it'll definately need a team of devs ;) greatest of luck to you, hope some serious devs have the time/interest to make this thing happen!

EDIT: Alex, just read through yours and mschitts posts on the miuidev forum, you asked about bcnice, he posted a day or two back that you should get in touch with preludedrew here on xda, he just released a rom here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=840285

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Asadullah:
How much space does it take? I tried switching the kernel and flashing it but it won't get past the htc screen and sometimes it just reboots recovery. I know that it's gonna probably take more than that but was wondering. Also if it's overclocked then wouldn't that have to be changed?

Lol yeah you think ill get a xda award for that speech? Sorry about that rant. I just hate when people give up and say it can't be done.... I'm at a point right now that I've got the thing booting and running through boot image....then reboots.

Lol thanks... yeah It's been a pain, and I haven't had as much time to work on it cause I just started physical therapy and have been back and forth to a bunch of idiot doctors who just wanna push pills down my throat.... I did however try a handful of kernels to try and see if they'd play nice..but to no avail. Don't give up though..I haven't tried them all and haven't tried writing in some stuff that another dev has given me to try with it. I am sorry that its taking so long.

Hi Drakko,

We are very much thankful to you for the work you are doing for us. Really appreciate if you can post an update frequently as to what is going on... That will even inturn get the attention of our senior XDA members or rather (Recognized Developers) to assist you with what you are doing. Would appreciate if you can provide me the source. I will try to look in to it and and we can work on it together....

Looking forward to hear from you soon...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] lows10:
Haha I wonder how the progress is miui ahh this is gonna b good I already know it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
This is what I don't understand.

I admire what drakko is doing, but without the source, how far can this really be taken? I'm not pessimistic, I'm just a bit skeptical.

As far as I understand, this is the equivalent of trying to bring Sense to an AOSP ROM. It would take days and days of ground-up coding without knowing the MIUI source.

As far as why MIUI isn't open source, why would they? So that someone could take their hard work and spin it off as their own? I know it sounds brutal, but anytime something goes open source, it runs that risk, and whether or not it goes against the spirit of Android, that's just the facts.

will be waiting for updates
[Hero CDMA Android Development] .PHil:
so there's no hope for this rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bytecode:
Not really,until the MIUI theme release their sources :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drakko1980:
Ok...sorry for the long drawn out time between posts...but this Rom is just not gonna happen. Sorry about the bad news but I have tried everything from the initial converting from hdpi to mdpi...to rewriting the xmls, etc... decided to get help from a known "super dev" and built a custom kernel... then got up with a few devs to rebuild the source and we all hit a brick...even though the coding should have worked...it would not take the driver set....aka...dead for mdpi devices...once again...I am sorry for the bad news but I and others have given it our best and regretfully cannot do any more. Thank you all for the support and patience...just wish I could have got this up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darkguy2008:
That doesn't sound logical, there are a lot of kernels with different drivers for devices. Maybe if you guys would share what you've done, I'm sure somebody will go for it and try to help with the driver issue.

I would.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] live2die:
sorry to hear that !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:
If you can port honeycomb, you can port this ;D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drakko1980:
Incorrect....honeycomb, if you do a little research is aosp....*Android Open Source Project*...just saved you some reading....which means that the source code is there....where as MIUI is not...it's not just some skin or theme like a bunch of people think...it is a completely written source with gui like sense...only difference is...unlike htc, they don't want to share, and the source build is freaking mind-boggling
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darkguy2008:
I don't think this is the only case where the owner of something didn't want to release the source and a team reverse-engineer it.

Besides, if it works for Galaxy 3, which is MDPI, then it could work in Magic, too. Add a few modifications, tweaks, drivers, etc. and this should have some progress, I guess?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
I'm actually watching the progress of that thread and waiting for a release. Once they have a release I'm gonna take a crack at porting it. Gonna play around and try to make it work, just like for Honeycomb.

I actually got Honeycomb 3.1 booting, but no touchscreen. :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
I was able to port Honeycomb because it had images for HDPI, MDPI and LDPI, while MIUI only has HDPI images and must be resized for our phone and that is a very time consuming task. It was small tweaks to get Honeycomb running, nothing special as opposed to trying to get MIUI to boot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:
Ding, they optimized it for mdpi ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
Actually no Honeycomb source code as of yet. Will be released along with Ice Cream Sandwich if I'm not mistaken.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drakko1980:
All I know is my eclipse and android.sdk shows source on Android 3.0 and 3.1...which if I am correct is honeycomb
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dastin1015:
Those are just preview sdk images. Not actual source.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Will de default MIUI framwork files work on MDPI or does it need som conversion too?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darkguy2008:
I dunno. I'd say let's make up a dropbox and work on the ROM? I've seen a few MIUI apps (camera, gallery and music) work pretty good in custom ROMs for our devices, so I think the framework stuff can, too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scottx .:
Would love to see a flashable zip of this for the Hero. I run MIUI on my Evo, update it every week with the weekly builds and absolutely love it. I wouldn't run any other ROM on my Evo. If I could stick MIUI on the wife's Hero I'm sure she would love it as much as I do.

Currently running CM7 on the Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SWEATTAIMI:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] .PHil:
is there any reason the people behind miui themselves don't release an mdpi port?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
more than likely they dont have anyphones to test it on plus why would they go through all the trouble making it for mdpi devices witch not that many people have anymore. And most mdpi phones are in the legacy section.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
also don't forget they have build it process for arm v6 phones on top of mdpi, so they would have to have a separate branch for them, and any time there are forks problems can occur and/or inconsistencies.
