quick question about the cdma hero

i hate to start a new thread for something like this but i have spent hours searching through the forums and cant seem to find it...
i have a CDMA hero and am looking to get a vanilla rom running on it... i dont care if it is 1.5 or 1.6...
i have found some solutions for it but they all seem to be GSM versions...
i personally hate what HTC did to the Browser, Music, contacts, and picture apps.... i also dislike the sense ui in general.... but i LOVE the hardware.
any help is greatly appriciated...
thanks in advance!

Check out the blow thread. It should point you in the right direction. Correct me if I am wrong (and I know someone will) but the Sprint Hero (CDMA) does not have a custom rom for it yet. I am working to get a nandroid image over to Modaco to develop a CDMA rom. Anyhow, read through that and it should clear some stuff up.

If you go to settings then applications then management scroll down till you hit senseUI. click on it then clear default and once you hit the home button selects Home and set as default then you have standard home.
Use something like taskiller to kill senseUI and all the widgets

Why havent we just made an app that is a copycat of AOSP dialer/contacts?

In another attempt of having a stable phone, with the AOSP dialer/contacts/messaging...
I know we have a few [stable, but sorta not stable] roms that are AOSP related,
I understand so much code can/cant be transfered from Sense into making an AOSP Rom, and I understand that. im an older C+ / VB programmer, and understand trying to make something out of decompiled code is a *****, so ...
instead of trying to make a rom that is all converted over,
why hasn't anyone, in the time of Hero/Sense, all the way till now,
hasent anyone just made an app that is coded/looks just like the regular
AOSP Dialer/contact/messaging stuff?
Not to completely replace our phones dialer and what not, but still id end up clicking this "made up" app before I would click my regular dialer icon..
I mean, there are plenty of apps that read our call logs, contacts list
stock dialer/contacts dont look too complicated, is it the layout that would be hard?
Are there any developers that read this? Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Like, list of APIs/whatever type of stuff that is called from in Android coding? Im no stranger to code, but i know nothing about android coding / java.
But again, can anyone send me the right direction? I understand get the Android SDK emulator and what not, but i dont feel like following slow moving tutorials for hello world widgets.
Ill be more than happy to do this day and night, to get desired results.
I dont think im asking too much, and I could make this a way longer explanation.
Thanks again to anyone / everyone thats willing to help, or that is interested.

Really? No one?
Just shed some light for me, come onn

why not extract some .apk's from a working ROM that has the aosp elements and putting them into another ROM you want to transfer them from? i dunno thats where i would start before trying to copy whats already created basically.

Can't you just push the mms.apk and contacts.apk from aosp via adb? I coulda sworn it worked on my hero

I'm looking for an app that... (users help users suggest apps)

I was thinking about this at work tonight. I don't know how well received this topic with be either. The purpose of this topic is to consolidate questions from users that are looking for an app that fits their need with suggestions from other people. I know that one person could not possibly know all the apps and games out there. Maybe you could suggest something you have seen, used, or are using now with fellow users that can't seem to find an app that does what they want to accomplish. This does not mean that if someone suggests something, that they have to teach someone how to use the program too (unless they don't mind helping them get set up or warning them about possible snafus). Sometimes there are apps that aren't in the market but on a website somewhere, and are great to have. For example, Music Junk, is a good prog to dl music (cough, cough). Google music junk android and I'm sure you will find the dev's site.
Anyways, I don't know how well of an idea this is but at least it's an attempt to help others out. I will be watching this thread as long as it stays on the first page or two of this section.

There was an app called paul's app of the day, lots of people use it, paul must be a popular guy.. idk.. looks like he's from Madaco forums.. but it did have some apps that we all know already.. but one or two that I never thought to check out. i did remove it after a week or so.. don't like to have too many apps if I don't use them.

AppBrain will suggest stuff based off what you have installed and what other users have installed in comparison to you. If I have x, Y, and Z and you have X and Y it will suggest Z.
FWIW - Paul O'Brien is the founder of MODACO...I follow him on twitter - he's like a Cyanogen in the UK. was big into G1 dev, I think he supports several devices, and did support the Hero when we first started getting roms on it.

[Q] Tips on creating a ROM

well, i decided im going to try and make a rom, and since im a beginner, i need tips and advice on how to. is there anything important i need to know? where do i begin? any info from any developers are welcome, and please. no flaming

only one bump, i promise

yea i've wanted to im have asked a couple people and the best advice i got was to
1.)download the android sdk from google
2.)download some roms or themes and to look in them and see what files are in there basically learn the files that make a rom or a theme.
3.)download a image manipulation (Photoshop, Gimp) these are the best i recommend Gimp its free!!!!
4.) WinRAR this you will have to buy or get the trial verison some computers come with this installed.
that about it thats as far i got.

Download 7zip because its the easiest to use (on windows, ubuntu has it built in.
Know the basic drivers and functions
DONT GET UPSET IF YOUR BUILD FAILS (easier said then done..i know, i made some RoMs in my day)
Know what you want- you should always know what you want before thinking about touching a ROM. If you like DE-Sensed, then know what parts to de-sense.
Know what the apps do- some apps are nonsense (like city ID, footprints, etc) and some apps make the phone usable (like a launcher), so never delete a main app off the phone without replacing it with a similar app (if i deleted sense launcher and replaced with launcher pro).
Push yourself to do more- if you ge t bored with making DE-sensed roms, try to build from source. I can always help you with that, as i have written up a giude on it and have done it many times.
and the number 1 rule:
LOVE YOUR WORK!

thanks for the info guys, this is really gonna help!

[Q] Facebook App wont let you revoke permissions

Hey all,
I've noticed that when using Cyanogen and the new Facebook app with the crazy permissions, that it notices I've revoked permissions, should i choose to, and says it wont start until i restore them.
So I've deleted the app, as that's even creepier than the new permissions it wants.
However, as this will probably be the start of a new trend i was wondering if there was any other methods that could be used to prevent programs from doing this?
BTW - If you want to support Facebook or tell us how good Google+ is please go elsewhere, this is not for that discussion.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

I am pretty sure only the dev of an app is able to control what the app does or rather wants to do.

sorry to revive an old thread, but, this issue is getting only worse...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41903210
