VillainROM 5.22 Release Candidate
 
Mod Edit: Temporarily removed links to ensure no one flashes a GSM rom on their CDMA hero and perhaps bricks it.

I haven't seen anyone post this ROM, so I figured you guys might want to check it out...

VillainROM 5.2 Release Candidate

A FULL WIPE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BUT MAY NOT BE ESSENTIAL!

So.. it's taken a few days, but here it is. The final stage of testing for VillainROM's 5 Series, SprintHero port for the GSM HERO. Below is a download link to VillainROM5.2 Release Candidate.

I'm proud of this one. When I started developing for the Hero back in January, many of you guys that are still around will remember me saying that I'd make it my mission to beat HTC to a fully working, fast 2.1 ROM. Well... this is the closest I've come so far. I really hope you like it.

So... The changelog:

- Faster than 5.1
- Fixed 3D issues
- Gallery 3D Rotate fix still works (I broke this twice trying to fix the streaming issue, but it's sorted now)
- Apps2SD (again, untested... I have never used it)
- FIXED ALL STREAMING ISSUES! (including Youtube)
- Modified boot animation to safe valuable space on /system
- VillainROM splash screen (you'll only see it once or twice)
- Included Launcher, Launcher2 & Live Wallpaperpicker (Disable Sense to try these! - remember, don't try high end ones.... our Heros don't have the balls)
- FIXED VANILLA LOCKSCREEN THANKS TO FLIPZ (See downloads below)

& The rest of the ROM:

- Syncing works flawlessly
- Extra Special HTC Keyboard with Voice Input & LOADS of options
- All hardware working as it should
- No graphical glitches anywhere
- Busybox
- Rooted
- VPN
- Launcher 2 works - just push it.
- Some LIVE WALLPAPERS WORK - only if you turn off Sense and use Launcher
- Network Location working 100%
- All apps in market

KNOWN BUGS:

- MMS (fix available from wiki/forums)
- Dashes when dialling due to it being a US ROM (not really a problem)

Vanilla Lockscreen Fix + Vanilla Clock

If you prefer the Vanilla Lockscreen, flash this update after the 5.2RC rom. Please note, you ceannot simply revert back to your HTC lock screen if you apply this. If you flash this. If you flash the Vanilla lockscreen, you'll need to use the VANILLA CLOCK (included) for your alarm in the morning. The HTC alarm will crash the lockscreen and the phone.
BE WARNED > YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE YOUR SIMLOCK (PIN) TO USE THIS, OR IT WILL FREEZE.

Haha I was about to say the same thing too. They should restructure the first post a bit to avoid mass confusion and panic

Don't flash this onto any CDMA Heros it WILL BRICK it. IT IS A SprintHero port for the GSM HERO. Meaning that it will have GSM radio settings which wil fry your CDMA Hero. If anyone really wants a Sprint 2.1 ROM use one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=519 As you guys may already know there are a lot great chefs doing wonderful things for our Heroes.

I'm sure you mean well... but do you know what "port" means?

I do know what port means congrats on sounding like a (insert preferred pronoun), and according to Wikipedia it means "In computer science, porting is the process of adapting software so that an executable program can be created for a computing environment that is different from the one for which it was originally designed (e.g. different CPU, operating system, or third party library). The term is also used in a general way to refer to the changing of software/hardware to make them usable in different environments."

And this a Sprint 2.1 port for the GSM Hero which means that it has GSM Radio software included. Since it does have that software it will BRICK your CDMA Hero. I just wanted to issue a warning because it seemed that you didn't :read: the website. Some ppl are quick to flash a new ROM without doing their homework. I know every dev places a warning and you stated to research the website but there was no like warning on the website and since it's geared to the GSM community it doesn't warn CDMA users about the possibility of bricking their device.

To end this, how about you nandroid and flash this ROM post screenshots of the system information. If you don't brick your Hero then I'll admit I was wrong if you do then you will have a bricked device that you CAN take to Sprint, play DUMB, and get it replaced (as long as you have repair and replacement insurance)
