Hey I found this while trolling about.
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/private/
It seems to be a Gingerbread Sense ROM being put out by VillainROM, but I am having issues getting it to download.
Can you guys check it out, just in case its my dodgy internet connection.
The file is only accessible to admins, so unless you have the login and password you won't be able to download it.
Still if they already have a test version then it could soon be released. Will look forward to that
EDIT: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...-RELEASE-Gingerbread-Sense-Hero-Initial-Alpha
Looks like april's 1st joke
right not buying it i hate april fools day every 1 is expecting pranks and stuff its more fun to do this some where on a random day

Something fishy here...Donator on VR and my username password wont work....Pulser said use your usual name and pass...Anyone care to link me?
1. Is this for GSM Hero?
2. Wird thing for me - we do not have 100% working Froyo Sense ROM (in fact - port) and now there is Gingerbread Sense ROM (it should be port, but from which hTC smartphone?)
3. Would be nice to test it, so I would appreciate any link/username/pass to this ROM on my PM
4. Or at least - screens
That's enough hands for me

No. It isn't real. The username and password were a hint.
ROM wont flash, as I removed update script.
It is just VR13.

I liked that you still went to the effort of changing some of the build.prop entries I noticed that but when some were still showing old 2.1 versions and the update script was missing.. Damn you Pulser.

Def ! I"m Trying To get some Answers now.... Hoping MAybe it's Just the New Build he Used..... If that' sthe Case I"ll take the build he's using and just make my Own Rom. SOmeone said Is had Some To Do with the XIP file And they Can't Duplicate it. WM thing ? Which is Confusing, No Matter What build We use or Rom it's still WM So Im trying to get some Answers.... I Just can't believe MOre People haven''t Complained about this. I Mean IT's a Multi-Tasking Phone ?! ? I mean to Not be Able To Txt, Type, Email , And TAlk At the Same time Means I should have Just gotten a regular phone And called it the day you know ?
Well this is from his post on the topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1534286&postcount=71
Who knows where we go from here...
Yeah I just Read it And replied.... so If it's fixed in This Build I guess I should use his Build to Build my own Rom Just th eWay I want it. That's The Only Option I could come up with so Far. Vp3g's rom Looks And is Stable but the TnT Rom Has EVERYTHING that I use as far as apps Are concerned so I"m back against a wall here....
So am I to understand that this is Only a 8525 Problem ?

HTC Aria users please wait .will release at monday.
This is brilliant news! I'm not a developer but I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to jump in and port it to the Hero. Can't wait for some ROM's to start popping up.
My Personal Experience of this ROM
Camera does not work for sure
ROM is very smooth, boot time is much faster than Sense 2.1! Around 30 seconds for me.
Some small visual changes which are nice.
Facebook for HTC Sense works!
First boot is in chinese, if you can do the setup in chinese then go to Language and change to English. However this is American English, I'm sure somebody will port over UK English.
One little thing I'm missing is MENU to unlock lockscreen which is a little VillainROM thing, I'm sure they'll add that.
Apps just seem to.. open near enough instantly!
It has a WAP Browser LOL, removed that.
Wi-Fi doesn't work as mentioned above.
It has a goapk bootscreen and a GoMarket.
Has some new HTC apps: News,App Sharing, HTC Marketplace (?), Notes, Videos
It's good so far.
Man 3 days Why not now?
Hmm using google I found out that you're probably a Chinese developer and "/media/rom/tenfar/HTC/ROM/LIBEIMG_Liberty_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.32.405.1_Radio_4 7.52.35.18_7.13.35.05_release_154177_signed.zip" is probably the last part of a URL but I cannot figure out the first part
good news for you. already run it,i cam make phone calls. will fix wifi,if i can.

Hope u can upload it fast! There also devs outside XDA who are intersted it, CFreak knows who i mean. They can also fix some things.
This rom is not even for hero
http://nadavi.ru/descr/htc/a6380-gratia/descr-40.php
Nobody says this. But it is easy to port (same resolution) so we can have sense on froyo.
but it works for hero
Great news, hope you can upload it soon
can you post this rom as it is for us HTC Aria Users? This rom should run as it is on an aria. If so either post in the aria developer forum on this site or pm the link to me. Thanks in advanced.
Wow nice work man!
I really hope this is real! And give it to some good devs, like the VillainRom team, they offer really great work to everyone, or just send it directly to Ninpo ;-)
Nice work!
Please upload ASAP, I could port this to the eris.

The wifi probably doesn't work because you need a matching kernel/wifi module. You device might not have the same wifi as the gratia. Try a cyanigenmod kernel/wifi module with it. Also if you can post the original rom for others to look at I'd be grateful.
This is now obsolete, Erasmux has ported the hardware (some of it) which i am havign trouble doing.I dont intend to steal his work so please use his!

Good luck with this. It's great to see that there are still some people who believe in a 2.2 sense rom for the hero
when the rom is tested a bit i will add it to my rom database
dude, you built a rom! congrats on being so bleeding edge bonesy!
I'm impressed with your guts
um, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not about to try it just yet... ;-) It's just because I need my phone and it's camera etc for daily use. I have faith in you - you've been messing with this stuff longer than I have probably dude and your flashing instructions are VERY clear which is comforting.
I'm really impressed that you persevered like this though man!
cheers
Don
Like I said gonna give it a try when at work. Great work man. And ill report back in here all my findings.
Like don said. Great to see this still happening to the hero.

hi there!
I'm a bit puzzled how to revert to pre-MTD changes state.
I am willing to test this rom, but I would like to have an option to nandroid back without much of a problem. I read through the topic bonesy linked, but haven't found a simple answer/solution.
I hope I could help some more, at least confirm bugs or something.
Cheers!

EDIT:
Is it as simple, as flashing "remove" zip?
Nearly, you will need to re-flash recovery too, Through fastboot..
Im struggling at the moment as i have 2 different builds on 2 different computers.As soon as i can get to my work computer i can carry on with it all
Call me stupid but is CustomMTD really necessary ? This rom can't work as all roms do? I've flashed it without MTD method and I am stuck on first splash-screen (mine says HERO on black background).
BTW ty for working on a Froyo Sense port for Hero GSM
omg Ninpo is involved, <3 him (nogay)
I will try when it's a little bit better ^^ and can be used for 1 day at school

@bonesy. how are you hoping the development of this ROM will be community driven? Would you like us to simply try it and report bugs (no different to most other ROMS I think) or would you like us to get down and dirty with code wherever possible?
Im just a regular user but i'd like to help with the development of this rom. if i was pointed in the right direction I would even be willing to learn about how to develop this rom!
anyway good effort for starting on this (I expect, long) journey

Well took a quick look at this. Will try to devout some more time over the next few days and see if it'll get me anywhere.
What I got for now is:
a) There is quite a lot of "junk" on the system partition here, after a short cleanup it fits very nicely without the MTD patch .
b) libwebcore.so fixes the browser crashes and most likely the markets too.
If I have time tomorrow I'll try to give the microphone a shot, cause this is the most critical problem at this point - whats the point of having a telephone you even talk to...
Hopefully I'll also release something for testing tomorrow...
Thanks Erasmux, i would have gtalked you today but been at work and the boss was in...so no devvin on the work pc lol.Got market and browser fixed as you say and also rotate and i think light sensor.I removed nabservice.apk as it only FC'd.Would be great if we can arrange a time over the W/end to talk
Opened a new thread for "my" version of this port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026699
Please note, that the amount of effort I will be able on such a (closed source) ROM is limited. I mainly what to see how far I can get this, especially in terms of hardware support, with my past experience.
So its up to you if you want to continue to keep your version going in parallel. If you do (or anyone else), please feel free to reuse anything from "my" ROM....
hey guys, I just bought Cerberus! (The beta 2.0 works perfect btw link provided in another post below this post)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&hl=en
Seriously awesome security application for Android.
Tried the beta for GNEX a few weeks ago, worked perfect, had it on Eagleblood ROM. Bought it today, now Im on AOPK Milestone 2 ROM, everything works perfect except it wont take pictures of potential thief when I do the the pin code or swipe lock wrong.
Anyone with AOPK M2 have Cerberus and have success?
Just to clarify, https://www.cerberusapp.com/ everything works on the security end like tracking, sending messages and locking the phone etc through the website. Only thing that wont work is snapshot of thief when code done wrong at lock screen.
Try asking Roman directly in his thread.. he is usually very good with getting back to people + he's a friendly guy! Try the thread on RW though....
update!
Just tried the old beta 2.0 apk and it works fine. (picture snapping of potential thief)
so its the market version that has issue.
I emailed Cerberus support about this.
Gonna stick with the 2.0 beta cerberus for now!

NP. Best security app really.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17156337/Cerberus.apk for the ICS beta, in case you cant get the front facing cam to take pics of potential thief. (only problem im having)
all works perfect in the beta link i provided.
Let me know if the market version works for you in that problem Im having.
If it works for you then its gotta be just a bug which the support team is aware of and should fix it soon.
First of all I want to make some things clear:
This is my own custom build I made with the help of this great tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775505
This has nothing to do with the offical nightly build from Cyanogen and his team.
I won't provide any support for this. If you want to flash this you should know what you do. Don't ask me anything like "How do I flash this?".
This could be even more unstable then the official nightly build since I add commits that are not merged. It's a great feature preview, but I can't guarantee anything. I can't tell you if the features you see here will make it into any official build.
What is it?
Its a custom build of the latest Cyanogen sources spiced up with some not (yet?) merged patches.
I don't know how often I will make new builds, it depends if I find new things I want to try. If there are no new commits that interest me I won't make a new build.
I will only upload builds that work for me. So the basic stuff should work for everyone, if it doesn't try to wipe before flashing. If it still doesn't work use the official nightly/RC/stable/whatever... (Thats the point with "I won't provide any support").
Difference to the official CM nightly
Download
MD5
I made something like this already for the Nexus One and many people liked it.
And since we don't get official nightlys since a long time already I thougt I start making my own nightlys again.
02/10/2012: new build, added latest commits from cm + cherry picked commits (again with AROMA Installer to choose WiFi calling)
02/04/2012: same build but with AROMA Installer. You can choose if you want to have WiFi calling or not before flashing the ROM.
02/01/2012: new build, added latest commits from cm + cherry picked commits
Thanks dude, good work.
I compiled my own CM7 Rom, but not sure how to apply those unapproved changes from the review platform, would u give me a hint ?

How is it dead? 2.3 is what our phones can run most efficiently with speed and smoothness, 4.0 is still choppy and major graphical glitches. Not everyone wants an unstable rom which will not be at it's optimum until a while longer.
On the other hand, I will be trying this out and thank you for putting in your time and effort to bring us another rom to choose from
I noticed no wifi calling....
I noticed in your docs that wifi calling is not included, any chance of getting this added back in?

Since ICS ROMs don't have camera fully working I wouldn't consider 2.3 dead. Many people including myself require a fully functional camera.
With that said I actually couldn't get camera and gallery to work on this ROM. I flashed it on top of stable CM 7.1.0 wiping only cache and dalvik.
I'm not going to do a full wipe at this point, neither am I looking for support but thought I would mention it.

The Cyanogenmod team is still going to release CM 7.2. So they're also still "screwing" around with it.

You say that the version which works best on our phone is dead?
You mean 4.0 which brings us graphical glitches, no fully functional camera, bluetooth issues ... is better?
Lets talk about this in half a year again, but for now Gingerbread is the most stable and best performing version for our phones.

Maybe I'll make an additional zip for wifi calling, I won't include it in the rom for sure since I can't use it.
Just a heads up...for some reason removing the wifi calling files breaks my APN connection with AT&T. Makes no sense on the surface. Put back both the apks and the libs and I've got signal again.

The key word you've used is STABLE.
No need to keep dicking around with what already exists. If you want to use it, fine. But there's nothing left worth adding to it, and DEVELOPERS NEEDED ON 4.0!!!

Whoa bro, what's up with you? Any kind of development for our phone should be appreciated. ics is on its way. We already have 3 dev teams working on it. If g4rbag3 wants to work on something else and you don't like it, quit dicking around in his thread.
