That looks super smooth! It greatly improves the overall experience and will probably lure me back to Rosie in favor of the default home screen
I cant see any difference between that and my hero. I get no lag and switching between screens is just as smooth and fast.

yeah, i agree with you. my hero Runs just as fast with no lag And i have the Flipping Clock!
Wait a minute! Now, How do we know thats an actual update coming up?? The video was made by modaco and posted at his website... You can clearly see it contains the superuser app and the market enabler app on the phone. An OFFICIAL VIDEO with the update would never have such apps installed!
Like i said before my hero runs just as fast and i could make a video to prove it.... But this is NO UPDATE PREVIEW OF WHATS COMING UP!
and now im thinking, everytime modaco makes a post in these forums, he links to his website where the actual posts are made... this is not the first time...
Is such promotion allowed on these forums...
Hah, it is a video of the upcoming update!
I do say on the video that i've installed a few apps, and it is rooted (I said that on the first video take (that I corrupted by pulling the SD from the camera!)), not sure about the one I posted.
There are definitely considerable performance improvements in the new ROM, particularly when i've got all my usual stuff installed and running - Rosie remains smooth as butter (which it didn't before!)
Of course I link to my forum where the posts are made, i'm posting here for information!

I have a pink Hero at the moment, maybe i'll boot them with the same setup and do a comparison vid.
Love the conspiracy theory tho minogue.

Hopefully it comes out soon, however i have made very little to no modifications to my hero to get it running as fast as i have, so im guessing that once i do my own modifications with the newer build ill be able to have things running better and faster than ever!
What is the build no?

Hi Paul,
Great to hear that the updated rom improves the performance of the hero.
I'd like to ask if the speed of loading pages in the browser is somewhat improved?

How many people would be interested in having this theme ported to latest versions of CM? Porting it shouldn't really be hard at all however I was thinking to keep everyone happy and people off our backs that I would maintain the layout of the theme but keep it inline with the CM roms I.E Cyanogize it a bit
i'm not a big fan of the screwpaw theme, but you know, i think any progress for the sake of android is good i think it should be updated
I would love it if you would update it to the latest Cyan build. I like the way the theme is but how would you Cyanogize it?
Most definitely interested.
i don't think so as for the fact it would kinda kill what the point was of the original one. Maybe do a different look though. There could only be one ScrewPaw IMO

Do it, and I like the name CyanPaw
Yep. Count me among the "ayes"
woo cant wait for this. ill get it on my cyanogen when its ready
i really love the theme how it is already.
the only think i hated was the version 3.9.7? with the stones as the background as the app drawer. it looked out of place.
the background of the app drawer before that was waaaay sexy. the dark picture with trees and the lovely scenery.
also, you should change the bootupscreen, it's already been suggested but this would be awesome haha.
android peeing on palm.
Yeah i'm in, been jumping back and forth from xrom to screwpalm. not really fond of the rocks in.9 tho, you could ditch that for sure.
please do.
ive been switching themes everyday and i cant find one i liked as much as screwpaw.
any update on the progress of developing this theme for us cyanogen users? =]
keep up good work
keep up the good work man. Don't listen to others saying don't make it. I am a big fan of it and can't wait till you get the latest version out.or do you have it out? if so can you please send it to me in private message or email.. thanx a lot. that would be much appreciated. Wish has a version out, but it's not the latest, so if you could work on the latest cynogen releases, that'd be awesome
Well the thread with the 4.02 theme has been removed, can anyone pm me the link to the rapidshare location? I have it in my history but I accidently cleared it...

So, some chinaman working for HTC decided to bless us all with some Eclairy goodness, complete with drivers and all! If I'm not completely mistaken this should be very possible to port over to the Hero, so let's see you take your best swing at it, devs, you can do it! I'm even going to try it for myself, I'll post it if I can get it to work (Mind you I'm no experienced dev, but I'll give it a shot anyway, can't wait for a flawless 2.1)
DISCLAIMER: Do NOT flash the rom in the thread, it will brick your phone. (I didn't flash it, just thought I'd say it since some people don't seem to tell the difference between hero, sprint hero and eris)
edit: apparently the first link is corrupt. There is, however, a patched version later in the thread. Here's a direct link: hxxp://grense.no/android/android.2.1.droid.eris/PB00IMG.zip (Don't flash this one either)
Brilliant.
Maybe Nathan can use this to straiten out Villain?
NATHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
LOOK here...
I downloaded the Eris 2.1 leak when I woke up at 6am...
Who thinks these leaks are endorsed by HTC as a backdoor to public beta testing, no strings attached? Remember the 2.73 build "leaked" about a month before public release.
So the Eris is that close to our hardware that it can be ported then ?
Good news all round I imagine, both for Sense ROM's and AOSP ROM's.
There will be some busy chefs over the next few days, and a hell of a lot of flashing going on
Yeah - very close indeed.
I'm annoyed that I have plans on Friday night, so I don't have a lot of time to do it over the next couple of days.
I'll get around to it Saturday at the latest.
Can't believe this has been deliberately corrupted that is awesome (as a joke). I would not be surprised at all if HTC have leaked this on purpose, companies do that all the time (including music companies) however they would never admit it.
I asked head office for a leak of the 2.1 Hero rom last week. Broken or not broken... I'd fix it.
They completely ignored me!
A rom thread with almost 400,000 views and they ignore me - lol.
Anyway, we have something now.
I just wish I had the time over the next couple of days to port it. Someone might beat me to it, but by Saturday, I'm hoping it'll be Villain 3.0 FINAL.

Thanks, I appreciate that.
With any luck, this should mean Villain 3.0 Final
What I mean by that is, this will be the perfect base, and if we get everything working as it should - this will be the perfect base rom, needing only minor, incremental updates until the official rom is released.
Then... I get to play around all over again with villain 4

So basically this was exactly what you were looking for really to make a perfect version 3 ahead of an official hero 2.1 release
I'm following the Eris thread closely. It's definitely not bug free
So far, someone's reported -
- Soft reset of phone using Gmail Push notifications...
- Google Earth fails to load (I suspect OpenGL issue)
I really hope this isn't the case.

easy to fake a screen shot with shadow and glare and perfect reflection...
A prominent person such as him is not a person who would let his name get dragged in the mud like that, I'm inclined to believe this is the real deal. Its alot sooner than I couldve ever hoped for, but with the lack of software available at this point anyone trying this without an IRONCLAD way of downgrading is a hopeful idiot IMO.
Still, fantastic news nonetheless.

Very easy, actually.
Well, Tom actually says the pictures are coming from Russian hackers, and I'm a member at the forum where this was posted initially. These guys are very reputable and have proved more than once that they have some good sources, but they could play a joke as well.
Good sources? Afaik they just hacked an HTC server.
But you're right, those guys are credible.
Too bad they couldn't make a video, though
Video is up guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJCFdojbjh8
And that video doesn't look like it's that Throttle Launcher WP7 skin?
not to me...
I say bring it on though
Video seems suspicious to me as you can't see if it's really an HD2 - all you can see is a black shape. But then, these people who have done and confirmed this are indeed reputable...
My prayers have been answered. Granted, I figured it would just be a matter of time... just not this SHORT an amount of time!!!

Guys, this is tom_codon. Just have a look about XDA, I very much doubt he would do this.
As for me, I read in the (other forum) thread that you cannot go back to WM6.5 once installed, as they had to replace the bootloader to get it to work - so this is definitely out of the question for me...

If they came this far to get it on there then I'm sure that will get figured out as well.
I have the Honeycomb extracted system.img from the sdk uploaded to mediafire, (mediafire is a lot faster IMO) if anybody wants to take a crack at it, have at it.

If you count Android version as one OS, it should be many more ;].
Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb.
And not Android OSes: Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Ubuntu, MeeGo. Does Windows 95/98 are counted too? If yes, it makes 10 in total, and 8 usable . Of course if we count like we should Android as one OS, it would make 5 systems. Even then it's damn sky high as majority of smartphones run just one dedicated OS.
Isn't Honeycomb strictly a tablet OS? I tried to use the normal HD2 res on it and 240 display density and got only force closes when trying to boot it on my PC.
I have just got used to Gingerbread and now we could get Homenycomb??? Maaan, this would be awesome I only want the devs to take their time to improve Gingerbread as much as possible.
Why would you want a tablet based os on such a little screen like the hd2. Makes no sense to me. I do believe this is one ill stay away from..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yea ok, i bet if its ported and runs nice u will flash! lol
Just caught eye of this new story. It appears Honeycomb won't be limited to tablets. There's mention of a phone version to be released later this year.
Honeycomb love. Outstanding! Because the preview version impressed me. A lot different from the usual Android. I would love having this on my HD2.
Honeycomb is very nice according to pocketnow

OTA Update available now with Android 4.0.4 & Sense 4.1, next Jelly Bean & Sense 4+ ?
Check this out!
http://www.kitguru.net/mobile/blair...-x-update-coming-soon-android-4-0-4-included/
Software Build is going to be 2.17.401.2 (UK)
Install latest Android Revolution (7.0.0) and you can try it already.
Lovin what i'm seeing there! Oh boy am i lovin it!
Has that firmware been cooked @ McDonalds? Cause i'm lovin' it!
Sorry! Last sentence just had to be!
the article links back to here bro, into the mega information thread
A test version of the firmware has been leaked to a ROM developer, XDA user Football, and they have baked up a ROM based on the firmware. The new update will be 2.05.401.2, a noticeable update (in terms of numbers at worst) over the current 1.29.401.11. The Android version will also be updated to Android 4.0.4, which will by default include some stability improvements. Updated kernels, radios and software drivers are also bundled in.
Early adopters of the aforementioned ROM have been impressed. Users are reporting a better web browsing experience, tweaked auto brightness settings, a smoother user interface and faster unlock speeds. Gaming performance appears to have been improved, along with battery life whilst gaming. It is not clear yet if overall battery life has been improved.

I'm guessing you have the rom on your phone? I don't really want to root my phone due to warranty issues. Would be great if you show us your screen on time whenever you're done for the day and give us a bit of an insight on battery improvements. I've heard about general performance improvements in that rom in all departments but the battery time information is lacking a slight bit IMO.

Been holding off on the custom ROMs until there is an official one in the wild.
Some people are suggesting the version number will be different, but who knows. Looking forward to what the new base brings...
