HTC Sprint Hero - Running Fresh 1.1, Nexus Boot, Custom Lock - [Video] - Hero CDMA General

Well just finished all the installing and tweaking. Recorded a video to show a friend of mine what the Fresh ROM was all about, so for anyone interested in seeing it in action, or its speed, the video i think does it justice. Uploading right now, should be up in a few minutes.
This is first video, just poking around the OS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-ubB9W9bXQ

you should put it up on androidforums.com cuz alot of people on that site are still running stock

you should check out the nexus one/ hero hybrid boot screen before you make the video..you know cause our phones are still heroes lol, i used the nosound one and it worked flashed fine on my cdma hero.

I do like that boot screen, but i think im going to stick with just the nexus one. Its not so much to feign being a nexus phone, so much that i just like the animation, lol. Next video is the boot up process.

good vid, but this is too blurry!

Yeah... I had it recored in better quality but the filesize was about 250 megs, i may have lowered the quality a bit too much. The main thing i was trying to show was the speed and "zippiness" of the Fresh ROM, so quality aside i think it showed that. Im gonna record a better video here soon to really show specifics.
uploaded better quality

What lockscreen do you have running? Is it one freely available or did you make it yourself?

It's the one from this thread here.

Its the most current version of the Fresh ROM, its a sticky. The lockscreen is posted in my reply before this. I found the wallpaper on some "post your desktop" forum, ill post it here if anyone wants it.

Stock quotes

Hi,
On my sons Iphone, he gets stock quotes with a push on an icon...
Can this be done with a Diamond?
Something like this maybe? I'm working on it.
Pefect!!! that's it.... When??
JP
I'm not sure yet. I just started playing around with it a few days ago in my spare time. I'll probably post a beta within a couple weeks, or maybe tomorrow, who knows.

WOW...this may save me another grand (by not getting the HD) if you can get that running. I like the appearance and format, as well as the research options.
I WILL DEFINATELY DONATE TO YOU AT THE TIME I DOWNLOAD! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON OF THE DAY...CONGRATS!
...in the meantime you could look at Stock Manager. Works well on my Diamond.

Right now, just using http://wireless.etrade.com. Not as fast, and interested in getting it into a tab in TF3D (see there is manila files from the HD already on this site, so may get my wish). I like the format of this one much better, so may run both (depending on final product, and visibility of all the markets).
THANKS AGAIN!
this looks really awesome!! looking forward to your app!
please hurry, can't wait any longer...

Hi guys,
i was searching for the same thing and now i use Equity Expert. It works fine and looks ok.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-equityxpert.html
I'll leave this thread for posting links to the existing apps out there. For those interested in an "XDA-grown" solution, see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441204
I changed the colors from the original design, and posted a working proof of concept, which will soon be the full blown thing. Screenshot below.
that all looks so cute!!! i really can't wait
You guys looking for a Stock app, should relax and lay back and let the Masters/geniuses of XDA Developing, eventually port Black Stone ROM to Diamond.
Then we shall have the cool stock TF3D app.
Dont get me wrong Member GeckoDev, looks like your app is gonna kick assss
Thanks.

This matches my theme much better, so you are my favorite person today as well. I will run both yours, and the TF3D tab from the HD. I like your format much better. The HD tab will give me quick glance, but your tab will help me make decisions wirelessly before I buy/sell on my E*Trade account.
Fantastic job!
I was the one who initially posted the question about the stock quotes program...
So I am very pleased with the great work there has been done..
Alas, I can not install it because my diamond refuses to install Net CF 3.5.
I get an errormessage about freeing space (lots of space left) and about a "errormessage" 2
Can somebody please help?
I got the ice of changing in the registry:
HKey_Local_Machine - Software - Microsoft - .NETCompactFramework
click on 2.0.7045.00 - 1 to 0
click on 3.5.7283.00 - 0 to 1
3.5.7283.00 isn't even in mmy registery....
Thanks
I agree the Equity Expert is very nice VGA stock quotes applications and its also ready to work with the Touch HD, Omnia and Xperia devices !

Does anyone plan on making new roms and themes for hero

Does anyone plan on making new roms and themes for the hero i dont really like the look on the stock rom i have MoDaCo and it looks the same as stock like the g1 they have alot of nice roms and stuff will we ever have roms like that?

I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.
Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?
lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.
which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.
lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.
I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

This is sort of my first real post, so hopefully I'm not doing anything wrong.
These are cab extracted from the HD2 and most of them work perfect on my touch pro 2
The YouTube cab is the one that came originally with the HD2 and similar/if not the same to the one that came with the touch pro 2. I tried it and it worked perfect!!!!
thanks to kurniawan77..

tjworldgreatest, you are the best! of course that worked!! flawlessly, finally I don't have to cringe while watching some videos..I was never into the full user experience on Youtube, so I really don't care about my login stuff anyway..
does the hd2 version of youtube bring anything extra? i might get bored and install it.

Your going to get that on any of the ripped HTC YouTube versions....they dont support landscape, expect for when the video plays.
With search and what not in the menus, you have to use on screen keyboard.

First post and you're coming in showing a picture of android running on the HD2???
Hope this is for real as I kind of miss android from my G1, but I can almost hear all the flaming coming your way now!
all i gotta say is nothing is impossible and i will never give up i wiped the phone of windows and htc sense for windows then refreshed the boot loader with the android evo kernel as well htc sense for android and now trying to configure the os and sense to the hardware, i found this much easier with the t-mobile version since it has more rom to fit more coding, *big smile*

if you are for real and actually have gotten this to actually boot and run, could you give us an idea, or at least post what you need help with... I wouldnt call myself an android expert but i do know my way around the OS and most of the other items.
good luck and keep us posted!
well i hope that this is for real, and I'd definitely join the donation bandwagon if we get a working android port for the HD2.
I just must say I'd be surprised if you were able to get it running so easily based off the evo 4G. There are a lot of brilliant minds on here that have been working on getting android to the hd2 that haven't been able to do it yet. Maybe a video would help show us what you've got so far?

The Ultimate Droid now available for Evo

A friend of mine swears by this guy's work, so I am going to give it a try right now. Thought y'all might like to know about it. It is at theultimatedroid dot com. Download does require registration, though.
Keep us updated!!!
Cool, I'll give it a wack. Bored anyways.
oh and thanks for sharing.
I finally downloaded it (my connection cut off). Performed nandroid backup, wiped everything, and installed.
The first boot took about 2 minutes from off to main config. So far seems pretty responsive. I got a FC the first time, but then it worked the second. Default launcher is Launcher Pro, which is fine by me.
Before I installed any apps, I tested with Quadrant, and the score was 1495.
So far seems good. I'll update anything I come across that seems off.
No FC's here.
Pretty sweet rom. I'm actually amazed...
recommend!
I just got 30 mflops for Linpack too.

How is the battery so far?
I was going to ask what the hell it was we were talking about here, but I just registered and I'm going to install it. What the hell!
Looks good from the screenies.
This guy's stuff made my D1 dance. I've always been very impressed with his work. I've never seen him release something that wasn't solid. Of all the roms I put on my D1 (and they were many...) this was by far the fastest and snappiest of them all while keeping TONS of features included. This rom is sure to perform.
BTW, st4nt0n...you're welcome for the recommendation

Why don't they put this ROM on the forums here?...
Only problem I have, is Launcher Pro won't update since it came on the ROM. Kind of a problem, I'm trying to fix that now.
Otherwise, I love it. Looks great, runs great, and feels good!
can somebody give more complete info? is this a ROM or a theme? because the pic onthe ultimatedroid.com showed verizon on the screen, but this is for EVO right?
kind of boggles the mind that the OP made a topic talking about it and just said he was going to try, without a whim of actually saying what it is?
am i out the loop? am i supposed to know what ultimate droid is? sounds like a diff phone to me (droid)
Looks like a AOSP rom with a Droid theme... Lots of black and red. Runs super great, and looks great to boot. Lots of crazy options like built-in overclocking and such. Go register and check it out. It's definitely one of my favorite roms so far!

It is a ROM not a theme. It is available for Evo, Incredible, and (original) Droid. I flashed it and while it is pretty nice I think I'll be sticking with Frost for the time being.
