[0.1] VanillaDroid - Clean Cupcake on your Hero!

[Guest AychTeeSee]

Hello everyone;

As some of you may know, I've been porting a MyTouch3G ROM to Hero. Unlike my other vanilla cupcake ROM, this ROM possesses absolutely NO HTC bloat, and runs UNBELIEVABLY fast, at the expense of some features. I do not plan to discontinue my other Cupcake ROM, as until this is stable and feature complete, the other one is a viable and fast alternative. This ROM is being released as an early preview of what's to come. This ROM uses Teknologist's 1.91 kernel with Ramzswap disabled.

Doesn't work:

Bluetooth (fix coming soon!)

Trackball

Camera

A2SD

DHCP

This is an incredibly stable ROM with (in my opinion) lots of potential. This is likely the fastest ROM for HTC Hero at the moment, a bit faster than ION 1.6 (but with more stability and working accelerometer). If you think you can contribute, PM me! :)

good work mate. still downloading it. can't wait to try it. wish the trackball issue gets fixed soon. its something i use on daily basis. hehe

[Guest PrinceDwi]

Please continue to work very well on this ROM. I find this to be extraordinarily quick and fluid. My issue is that whenever I try and add APN settings, none of the settings save.

Strange. After entering the information, are you pressing menu and clicking save?

Thanks!

Yes, strangely..once I finish inputting the APN info, I press menu, save, and when I go back to access point names, i'm still left blank. For specifics, I'm using an unlocked Telus Hero on AT&T, latest eclair radio (63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26). I did full wipe, and repartitioning of my sd card to ext4.

Fixed Camera and GPS B) new release soon.

You have been busy :)

Shame about the trackball issue, with my touch screen playing up I need to use my trackball, so I'll be watching this space and of course your other ROM

:D

[Guest PrinceDwi]

Hm..I tried a different set of APN settings and I seem to have data now. Wifi however isn't obtaining an ip address, regardless if it's open or secure network. I'm excited however for this ROM. It's one I've been waiting for for a while, and I've been trying each rom left and right. HTC Sense is beautiful, but I find Android's stock layout to work absolutely fine.

Keep up the good work! I'll be following your progress like a hawk =p

Please add <Wifi> to the fix list :)

Fast >>>>>>>>>>>>>ROM .

Thanks ..!

Does A2SD work yet? Is this really faster than MCR 3.2? If it is, is it worth it to change to this ROM plus a homereplacement app?

Try this one first : http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...upcake-rom-gsm/

It's my daily ROM .. Excellent performance !!!

This [0.1] VanillaDroid is still @testing & fixing stage .. , still not for a daily use ( for me ) cause I use the camera and the trakball a lot

BOTH are faster than MCR 3.2 , the homereplacement is a matter of what u like better ...

Cheers ..

[Guest Naruc]

Anyone know a good replacement for the HTC Sense Exchange mail that can be used on this ROM?

Need one that sync calendar, mail and contcts

[Guest kosmiq]

DHCP is broken right now, you need to use a static IP if you want to connect. Fix coming soon.

[Guest inkredi]

ohh ...no HTC stuff :) i like that

[Guest inkredi]

mirror please?

zShare is slow and RS doesnt worl well for me!!

[Guest feld]

Is this GSM or CDMA?

also, please keep working on this -- we need this :)

[Guest sjoerdos92]

Titanium Backup doesn't work, add that to the fix list plz :)

It says root access failed.

And, as stated in the posts above, wifi doesn't obtain an ip adress.

[Guest PrinceDwi]

Looks like the headphone jack doesn't cause the OS to route audio from speakers to headphones. I found the ROM to be so fluid, it's almost as if it was meant to really be this way on the Hero. This experience is exhilarating! Just wanted to share that in hopes it'll be squeezed in as part of your next update. Phone actions seem to work great, haven't tried call merging or anything like that, but speakerphone and mute work just fine.

Also, no force closes as of yet.
