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)


IMPORTANT INFO!

In addition to the release of this ROM, Kendon (Kendong at XDA) has been slaving away working on a kitchen for this ROM. Very soon, all donators/donors will have access to an incredibly intuitive, online Kitchen which can be accessed at VillainROM.co.uk. Unfortunately, as the site was set up after 99% of donations were received, you'll have to PM me your PAYPAL CONFIRMATION CODE ON THE VILLAINROM.CO.UK FORUM. Once I have verified this, I will add you to the donators group.

ALL FUTURE/NEW DONATORS WILL ALSO BE ADDED TO THE GROUP.

We're proud of what we've done here, and we hope you are too. If you're feeling generous, please feel free to send a small donation our way. We can promise you that there will be lots of exciting donator-only content coming your way in the very near future.

PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FORUM USERNAME ON DONATIONS TO BE ADDED TO DONATOR GROUP!



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.

Re: VillainROM 5.22 Release Candidate

haha when you first posted this I was about to hit reply with a "Warning GSM rom!" but then I actually read that it was ported to cdma. Quite the fool I would have been. heh...I am happy with Aloysius rom, so my flashing craze is calmed for the moment heh.

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.

Re: VillainROM 5.22 Release Candidate

Let's be a little less worried with what terms we're using and bit more concerned with staying on topic.

Thanks,
Coz
