This is an AOSP-based build with extra contributions from many people which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Visit the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes and features!
All source code is available at the CyanogenMod Github! Send pull requests with your changes!

First impression:
- Feels slower then nightly 188 with Flykernel-12 pre1, So i installed Flykernel-12 Pre1 back and noticed right away the little speed improvement over the stock kernel that comes with CM 6.1.0 stable
- When turning on GPS in house, (WiFi already on) Data connection pops up alongside the WiFi (is this normal?, never noticed it this doing with the nightly)
I just installed but now when connected via USB cable the phone is no longer being recognized by may laptop The phone as well does not come up with a notification, yet is starts charging?!
anyone...suggestions?
Perfect. I'm testing battery Life.
Waiting for themes cause i don't like the white bar

Thanks!
Finally we have a stable version of the best rom around here. New life for our heroes.
Already downloaded this at cyanogen not tried the nightly roms, but have used RC version, looks good
Will give this a shot, coming from RC1, Fly kernel 11c...tell ya if its faster
Go Cyanogen!!
What kernel does this ROM use? Is it based on... FlyKernel or some other kernel from a rom on XDA. Or is this CM's own work?
If the kernel isn't great, is it possible to replace it with something nice like FlyKernel?

correct me somebody if I'm wrong but it is highly recommended to flash flykernel right after you flash the ROM... at least I do it this way and then linpack shows nicer numbers )
CM6.1 flashes it's own kernel, and it is slower, so after the test i flashed Flykernel-12 Pre1 and this is way faster.
seems i cannot connect to WiFi using this bad boy...anyone else suffering this?
to upgrade my rc1 to this one, I just make a nandroid backup and i directly flash the 6.1.0 ? or I've to make a wipe etc...?
thanks
so is this rom working solid or is it slow?

Exchange
Is Exchange sync working in this? Only reason that has prevented me from using the earlier version(s)
UPDATE: Yes, Exchange sync works!
Works just fine for me
Sent from my HTC Hero
Know of any themes that can be used with this? I tried the HTC Black that was referred on the [COLLECTION] thread under Hero GSM General, but it did NOT work - I had to revert to a Nand backup to get things back to normal! However the white standard android is a bit grating on my eyes. If anyone knows of good themes that work with this please let me know! Thanks!

Perfect ! Flashing now .
Downloading and flashing now. I hope this doesn't have performance issues like all the ports. Every CM7 port never seemed to run as well as stock AOSP Gingerbread for me.
Edit:- Got a link for the gapps install?
Edit2:- Still has a lower framerate than AOSP as far as the UI is concerned. Must be a thing with CM7 builds in general... *sigh*
There's a script now in CM 7 that will prompt and ask which google apps you want to install. It runs when you access the market.

Will do, however most people seemed happy with it on MDJ's CM7, but a few of us weren't. It's like every launcher runs at half the framerate it does on AOSP Gingerbread.

Ok. It just seems weird that every CM7 rom doesn't run as smoothly as AOSP, if anything it should be the other way around.

Kernel recommendations for this ROM would be extremely appreciated

No I can not find it on market, because of the country I think :/
The nightly's where more stable then this stable release :/
It seems fair stable. Just really slow and animations seem to drag.
Imah give it a miss. Had it running for 2/3 hours and I've gone back to villan13 just for the pure speed of it.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
There are quite a few bugs actually. Although I'm finding performance to be very good, it often crashes (screen just stays black) when transitioning between screens.
Often dialog boxes don't show up – the screen will dim but the dialog won't appear.
I'm going to perservere for a while though. I really like CyanogenMod ROMs – stock Android, but nicely tweaked. Since the Froyo builds haven't been updated in ages, this is probably worth sticking with, especially if a point release can come soon that fixes some of the little bugs.
Aw man, it's sad to hear that none of the bugfixes we desperately needed appear to be in this release. Hopefully they'll be sorted out in due time, though.
How many people with the invisible menus bug are using compcache?
I turned it onto 18%, and had the bug something rotten. No notification bar menu thing, no apps list in ADW, settings menu broke. I managed to long press home back into the performance menu, turned off compcache, reboot and not one invisible menu since.
With regards to speed, it was terribly slow, so I downloaded and ran the script floating round xda to put the I/O scheduler into noop mode, downloaded SD increase from the market, set it to 2048kb, and just set moderate in autokiller, and everything is smooth now at 576/19mhz.
Possibly the worst hero rom I've used.
unable to scroll in some pop up menus.
black screens randomly.
slow slow performance.
What happened? I've been on cronos for a while, but had a nightly about number 20 and that was fine. To credit a developer with being in charge of the hero section and to release this rubbish as a stable rom, with the standard the cyanogen team seem to set themselves is an embarrassment to all their previous work.
Agreed, this should not have been released as stable for the Hero. For those looking for a stable Gingerbread ROM you would be better off trying Cronos Ginger, or Elelinux's GB ROM (although I haven't tried that one).
First I red post title and got very excited, then I red your posts and now I feel like sticking still with stock sense lol.
the invisible menu bug rears its ugly head once again. is it a hero specific problem or is it a gingerbread specific issue?
I like it very much!!!
Using this ROM still early beta, compiled from sources. Not a perfect one because of some bug (coming from AOSP) but very usable. Another point: this is the only ROM with FULL sources code available, so it is easily customizable.

I guess were skipping CM8?
I had some problems with GAPPS and Market working correctly at first. A reflash of the GAPPS package solved the problem. I know with some other ROMs doing a reboot between flashing the ROM and flashing GAPPS helps to avoid similar problems, so might be wise to do.
Otherwise, everything is looking good so far. I like the new lockscreen.
Good job! i am using this ROM. faster! the kernel is 2.6.29, why not use 2.6.35?

After playing around with the 35 kernel, I think 29's battery drain is more reasonable.
Although the slightly performance advancing is not noticed by me...
Does this rom support a2sd+? Thanks!
is there an option to change the screen density to 140 DPI? I tried a patch from the VanillaEclair thread, but this causes a loop at the bootanimation. The circle completes one full round and then freezes, causing the animation to start over.
Any advice please?
EDIT: I'll just use LCDDensity then
Thanks for the 7.1.0 Stable, working great till now
Again having bug with video on 71-st minute!!!!!!!!!!!!
another issue i have is that the market indicates google maps is incompatible with my device...
EDIT: Seems to be related with LCDDensity. I can install it if I set it back to the default value of 160. Weird...
I have issues with SIM pin code with stable release and nightlies, does anyone have same issues here?¿?

because it's an official stable release. the .35 kernel hasn't reached official stable release yet. the .29 kernel did reach that point a long time ago.
If you want groundbreaking tech, don't use this rom. if you want stable and solid and cool stuff compared to the stock hero, use this rom.

official cm roms do not come with the following hacks:
- ext based apps2sd
- dpi changing
- launchers other than the free stable version of adw
- kernels other than the current main stable kernel (which is the old .29 kernel but highly modified of course, either it is fly13 or is very similar to it)
if you want this rom but with cool addons and extra features and a sexier/faster/smoother launcher and more active xda-based support, use elelinux cm7 3.5 (or later). it's the same basic rom but with his cool UI mods, a2sd, and so on.
Elelinux is the official gsm hero cyanogenmod developer anyhow so you know you're getting the best of the best with his cm roms
But this is certainly a cool rom if you don't like ext partitions or smooth launchers. I tried it and it was solid and stable. I prefer ele's 3.5 rom though for it's extra features.
Interesting reading about how so many Heros' are affected differently.
What really surprised me was that when I installed Ele CM7-3.5.1 and doing a full wipe of all over GOku 1.3e, Ele's rom booted up with all my apps including all Google apps, right at the the first boot???? I was amazed, never having this happen to me before.
Anyway, I have tried most of the latest roms, mainly GB and Froyo but I just keep coming back to GOku 1.3e or VE6.1 because I have also found odd things happening on the other roms. They all excell at doing most of the stuff that I need from a working 'phone. These things do take time and the developers really are amazing.
VE6.1 for blazing fast and stable and GOku when I need better sound for music.

Only way that can happen is if you didn't wipe ext partition. In cwm recovery that is automatic. In amon-ra you have to do it manually every time. Although in this case it wasn't a problem since they were similar gb roms so compatibility issues didn't affect you.

I had the same experience with flashing Ele's 3.5.1 over Goku's 1.3e. Apps were the same, even email was setup for hotmail. I figured I'd missed a wipe but am pretty sure I'd done it. I generally wipe twice between new roms, but perhaps I'd missed something. I use cwm every time.

Thanks to all donators!
Hey! thank you for your work! I just recently got an S2, and I love cyanogenmod. However, I tried installing the 2014-08-18 nightly, and I got a status(7) Installation aborted. set_metadata_recursive failed. I used to dev back in the day as well, and I know it has something to do with updater scripts. So I just wanted to give you a heads up! Thank you for your work again!
EDIT: I just tried the liquid smooth rom, and the same thing happened, it's probably just my device, I will investigate
EDIT EDIT: Did some research got it working, again, thank you for all of your great work!

Um I was using the Agat recovery, I followed this guys guide(After following his rooting guide) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W-1FPfgclM
What ended up being the problem, is that I've never had a phone where every rom and kernel install an entirely new recovery, so I didn't understand that and messed some thing up, but I solved the problem by simply installing the blasphemy kernel, rebooting into recovery for the new recovery, and then installing this rom. Which I must say, is very sleek and smooth, much props the CM team and the dev!

@dastin1015 You're utterly amazing! :good::good::good::good::good:
Thanks dastin. Everybody make sure you're running the latest cwm recovery. Search first.
Yo! by the way, I don't know if it's my device or kit kat, but I've tried liquid smooth and this rom, and for some reason everything displays kinda blurry, or like low res on the screen. Is it because my dpi is too high or low? or is it a setting I gotta switch. Hopefully someone can help me out here, thanks!
P.S this is my first time with a "higher-end" phone, and I'm extremely excited to be finally be using kit kat

Haha 'higher end' ^ ^
What is your DPI? Should be around 220. make it lower. Peeps like 182 for this phone.
Is restoring apps + data still not recommended, like with Liquid Smooth?

Well its "higher end" to me haha. All my previous phones have been single core with very little ram. So experiencing dual cores on android is mind blowing to me haha.
And does CM11 has built in DPI settings? Or should I just get closed and do it?
One last question to everybody. The battery has been acting very wonky for me. It was charging really slow, and once it was fully charged I was playing with it for about an hour, and I lost not that much percent. Then I re booted it, and I only had 5% . is this normal for kitkat? Is the ROM or my phone?
LTE is still listed as Recommended when you go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network type
Otherwise newest nightly build is alot snappier! Keep on the good work man!

That's normal. I flashed the August 19 nightly over Villuminati and my battery dropped from 70% to 20%. Just charge it back up; the battery will stabilize in a day or two.
Ah hell yeah, CM11 going official soon after grabbing my own E4GT
Not gonna flash it though - with this 4.5' screen, I'd like to use CM11 in 320DPI glory, yet Exynos 4210 just lags under that configuration (tried in Villuminati). Sticking to CM10.2, but still huge thanks for bringing this over!
Oh, BTW, in case anyone wants to see what *my* configuration looks like, do these:
1. Change "ro.sf.lcd_density" from 240 to 320 in /system/build.prop.
2. (optional) Add a line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" in the same file. This gives you on-screen nav buttons. If you do this, remember to turn capacitive key backlight off in Settings-Buttons.
3. Open Terminal Emulator. Commands:
su
wm size 768x1280
reboot
DONE - E4GT is now a Nexus 4, though MUCH slower

Got a weird issue. My phone was rebooting randomly, and my battery spun like a top...so I replaced it. Now with this new battery its still randomly rebooting, but not as bad. If I used my phone with that bad battery long enough, could that hurt my phone?
BBQ Log Kinda Wonky
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#/d710/
I like using the bbq app to follow along what is going on, it seems kind of wonky. The CM 11 nightlies are not showing up as next nightly yet. Is there something someone needs to do to "reset" the page or will it just straighten itself out as more nightlies get built?
Thanks!

By chance, do you use ANKR? I bought ANKR batteries and they reboot all the time but the battery doesn't spin yet.
Double-Tap To Sleep & Go To Sleep Commands
I've been running earlier versions of this ROM since early 2014 and love it. The latest "Nightly" (08-20) seems to be working fine on my E4GT. I do have two questions, both relating to making my device work a little better in absence of a working physical "Power Button".
1. Can anyone report success or failure of utilizing the Status Bar "Double-Tap To Sleep" function? I've been trying to use it after each update of this ROM and can never seem to get it working. The Status Bar "Brightness Control" sliding gesture works fine, but not the "Double-Tap To Sleep" gesture. I was concerned that my use of Nova Launcher might be the cause, so I tested the function using both the Trebuchet and Google Now Launchers, but experienced the same problem. I'd appreciate any feedback or guidance on this issue.
2. One of the nice CM11 features is the "Go To Sleep" tile that can be found in the "Notification Drawer" Tiles, as well as being added to the Notication Screen Ribbon. What I'm looking for is the name and/or location of the file/command that initiates this "Go To Sleep" function. I'm looking for this as I'd like to assign Home Screen Shortcut and/or Nova Launcher Gesture to activate the "Go To Sleep" command, without having to pull down the Notification Screen. Nova Launcher allows you to assign "Activities" to virtually any command that can be found in your system file structure. However, I can not find the "Go To Sleep" command. If someone can point me to where that file/command is located and/or advise me of the file's name with the system, I'd really appreciate it.
As a side note... I know (and have) many apps and widgets that can switch off the display with a screen touch. However, all of them that I've tried not only turn off the screen, but also immediately lock it, as well (which I do not want to do in this case). The CM11 "Go To Sleep" command is the only one I've found that will turn of the display, but NOT lock my system.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance you can provide!
I've noticed a couple tantalizing mentions of "soft reboot" recently, as integrated into the power reboot menu. The first link mentions the S4 specifically, but the second doesn't. It's not in our current build, so does that mean it's really only for that one family? Or maybe it just takes more time to make its way around?

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/70811
@drk65, I could have sworn that the double-tap to sleep worked in the build a few weeks ago, but you're right that it doesn't work in the current one, so now I'm not sure if I imagined it or just forgot the trick to it.
hang after first reboot.
I wipe and install from a CWM recovery and everything is fine until I decide to reboot my device. Then I hang at Galaxy S2 screen.
My last rom was CM 10.1
Anyone have an idea what might be happening?
