For more info on Radio Upgrades and roms please visit Modaco's website or just follow the links posted below thank you!!!
Thanks Modaco!!!
ENSURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP SO YOU CAN 'ROLL BACK' IF REQUIRED!
A 'wipe' is MANDATORY when installing this ROM and you MUST do this BEFORE applying the update zip (as the update zip puts files on the data partition)! I also recommend you install the latest radio from my 'update zips' topic if you have not done so.
Please note that first boot may take a little while, especially if you have a lot of apps on your A2SD partition. Be patient! If you want a real clean start or you have issues with your existing A2SD installed apps when you boot, you need to wipe your EXT3 partition on SD too by executing 'adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app', 'adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app-private' and 'adb shell reboot'
The ROM is in an update.zip format for installation via the custom recovery image HERE , I also recommend installing the latest radio (63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 at time of writing). As always, do a Nandroid backup before you do anything... just in case! LATEST RADIO
For the complete newbies, these are the steps you need to take with a 'virgin' Hero:
- Download the patched recovery image linked above and install as detailed in that post
- Download this custom ROM, and copy it to your SD card
- Enter the recovery image (if you're not in it already) by powering on while pressing 'home'
- Select 'nandroid backup' from the menu to do a backup
- If you copied the custom rom as update.zip, select 'apply sdcard:update.zip', else select the option below.
- all done
If you would like to remove parts of the ROM that you do not use, see this post. HERE
Feedback / feature requests welcome!
Wow, gonna try this.
Is it necessary to wipe when coming of Modaco 2.2?

I tried The Rom.. Unfortunately, all the same problems exist.
1>search in browser in landscape mode, keyboard bounces.
2>sms delivery report time shows 7 mins. later than actual.
3>Advanced task manager does not show memory inso and system tab force closes (the 3rd problem is what i dont like),
I'm quite sure there is some problem in these modified roms(even the modaco one, Ive tried them all) because when i install the rooted unmodified rom from modaco the 3rd problem is solved it works fine(not that i really need this app. its just that some where in the back of my head i feel something is not right in the rom that causes this, which might later on be a problem with some other apps also). and i also added a2sd later on which worked fine. and the 1st and 2nd problem exists in all the roms(modified, unmodified, rooted, and unrooted stock roms). if you could please solve the 3rd problem it would be gr8.
I'm very keen to try this rom...
Could anyone explain how to make the 3 partitions which are required.
Just to confirm: a partitioned sd card is not optional for this rom? When fiddling with the modaco Rom I never bothered.

I will have an update tomorrow for you all!
Seem to have lost some apps from market ones im having trouble with being Maize's Digital Clock Widget and Autostart.
Any ideas?
Drizzy, have I told you - 'I never cried when pac died, but I probably will when my hero does'
Good release Drizzy, will try it as soon as I get home!
What's in your opinion better than in MoDaCos Rom 2.2, Drizzy?
Why should I flash yours instead of?
what's this "2.86.110.6 un-released build"? A new update coming up?
Interesting change of style to the notifications area - not sure if I like it or not!
Also the lock screen - how did you manage to edit it?
As above

Hi guys
I want to flash a custom rom. But I dont like the default launcher (launcher2.apk) can I replace it with Launcher Pro and can launcher pro still be updateble through the market.
I deleteled the launcher2.apk from /system/app folder and added the launcher pro.apk but after I flashed the rom I saw that the market doesn't recognize the installed luncherpro. So is it possible that I put the launcher apk file in a non-root folder inside the flashable rom zip file?
Another question I downloaded the "maps5.8.0 ownhere testkeyresign.apk" to be able to have navigation support in my country. Now should I put this file inside /system/app before I flash the custom rom or should I install it later? Whats better?
Just download launcher pro from market install it and then delete the other launcher and u should be fine

To answer your launcher question, try installing launcherpro from the market, and THEN deleting Launcher2.apk, that way you will only have launcherpro, which would also be updatable. You can use android commander to do so (requires android-sdk)
And to answer your maps query, it doesn't really matter, if you put the .apk in the ROM before installing you won't be able to uninstall it in the future as it will be classes as a "system app".. that's the only difference.
Thanks for the answers. Looks like the best way is to install the new launcher and maps after I flashed the rom

put your maps in the /system/app if want to use forever if not should be in /data/app folder if your custom rom has this feature so you can uninstall this later- read about /data/app feature also if your custom rom has root feature or you have a rooted phone it doesn't matter - you can delete this apk with Root Explorer by example
regarding launcher apk Market doesn't recognize this because is signed differently than the apk from Market -let us say I download from Market an apk and decompile it... to compile back and make that apk I will use own signature to accomplish this task so is that Market will say yeah ! a new app there because this is signed by me not original developer or can be signed in Eclipse with debug signature- also this signature is not ok
Launcher to custom launcher

You don't need to flash and you don't need to root. You can install these easily if you get a APK.
Play Store: You can download the newest version of Google Play Store from AndroidPolice (APK Provided)
Google Now: Download from Play Store.
Google Search: I don't know if this is the Google search bar or Ok Google. (Can't say as I have not seen a APK for this).
Keyboard: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-install-android-5-0-keyboard-apk-any-kitkat-jellybean-device-1470633
Do need root
you do need root as for it to work correctly you need to put the lib files in lib folder
You need rooted device because if use install only apk file then it force close due to lib incapability.
so please use rooted mobile and flash through recovery .

As you have posted this in Mot G section; I will say why so hurry, L is coming to Moto G. Moto G will have all those apps officialy. Why mess with the phone for a few unreliable apps.
I installed the latest play store and google play services (soon as it got released) without using custom recovery. all working without any issues so far. all you need is the right apk
play store 5.0.31
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-play-store-5-brings-added-material-design-new-icon/
latest GPS 6.1.74
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-play-services-t2795911
Google search Fc's
when o google home
and must rename the apps to replace better
This app information is supportive for any device.
Hello, I have created this guide to enable the google pixel gestures, I had the Chinese rom installed but I had to go back to the global rom since the play store stopped working and I tried to solve the problem and I am not successful, so I gave myself the task of customize my phone, sorry for the bad writing since I am not a native of English.
1-the first thing is to have root access
LINK: https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/how-to/guide-flashing-twrp-granting-root-t3936148
2-Install QuickSwitch Module from Magisk Manager if you don't know how to use or install QuickSwitch you can see this video where it is explained how to do it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTaH4v1Nq2E
3-Download Launchair 2 and set it to default with QuickSwith can be (configured to your own liking)
you can use another launcher if you don't like the launchair 2 I also leave you the link
Launchair 2: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.deletescape.lawnchair.plah
One Plus Launcher (change multitasking) http://www.mediafire.com/file/h6w2li36d9yu36o/OnePlusLauncher.apk/file
Asus Zen Launcher http://www.mediafire.com/file/p66vwzm4h9dstdl/ZenUILauncher.apk/file
you can also use nova launcher but it doesn't work with QuickSwitch
so to make it work you have to select launchair by default in QuickSwitch and put nova launcher as default launcher in app settings and notifications, and with this it will work normally
4-once you have selected the default launcher you can activate the navigation gestures in Configuration --- System --- Gestures
5-Download Substratratum to be able to apply custom themes
LINK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum
6-apply theme I used this theme to customize it, it is paid but you can use some that are free you can find them without problem in play store
LINK:
pay option
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=liv.substratum.theme
screenshots
It works but whenever I switch on the game mode and drag down the notification panel it says system ui crashed
I lost interest at "1. The first thing is to have root access..."
Hi, I have a FireTv Stick Lite, I would like to uninstall Amazon Music, Prime Video, what can I do?
Also, which mod rom to replace the original one?
There are no mod roms as this bootloader is locked.
You can't uninstall the contents of /system/priv-app/ folder.
But the good news is you can disable them which is the next best thing.
pm disable-user - - user 0 com.amazon.nameoftheapp.
You can find a firestick lite /new firestick guide to debloat of system apps either by going here :
Firestick Lite (Sheldon) 7.2.2.3/7.2.2.8 Launcher Replacement and Debloat (No Root)
Hello. I have a Fire TV Stick Lite running 7.2.2.8. Gone through the post and applied the "Debloat the Lite of Unnecessary Sh*te", installed all the apks. I went with Wolf 0.1.7 as the launcher. When running FTVLaunchX I had to run the below...
