Ok so I downloaded it and it tells I try to install it at the recovery screen and it can't find it. It finds the fresh 1.0 but not yours. when I check the properties of this file its not only a zip file its a zip.jar file. Is there away to make it just a zip file or what am I missing? Thanks.

Windows is renaming the file when you download it.
On the phone through a terminal client -
Or rename the file in windows before you copy it to yhe phone

What am I doing wrong. I flashed my rom and it looks nothing like post 57. Also where is the power control widget?

That screenshot is not released yet. I'll get to it tomorrow hopefully, has been a busy week.
Power control widget isn't available for 1.5 at all. It's not in this rom.

1 Make sure you've rebooted once and see the password in the settings screen.
2 Make sure USB debugging is enabled in menu-settings-application-development.
3 Use the terminal app on the phone, enter su and your black screen will be different. It will (should) ask if you want to allow the app to run as root.
4 Select allow for one time access, or always allow if you want to not see the prompt next time you enter su.
You should then be able to run the removal script.

Well how are you able to change your icons? There must be a way to add new icon packs without flashing everytime. It was super easy on the iPhone.

Version 1.3 is up.
Optimized Rosie
Bug with landscape animation fixed + 3rd party app fixed.
This one will take a long time to first boot. Not Blackberry long, but 2 - 3 minutes.

OK gbhil thanks for the links. I have found a problem with the rom or it could be a potential problem. I always get sync failed even though all the drivers are properly installed.
I have no way to sync back my contacts to the phone.

Please make sure USB debugging is checked.
Reboot phone
Reboot PC
attach to PC
pull down notification bar and initiate sync from there
Let me know if you see any errors, if something doesn't look right, etc. I'm nowhere near a windows computer today so i can't do any further testing.
I was able to get it working by exporting my windows contacts to a .csv file then importing it into outlook and changing the sync settings so that it synced with outlook. Pretty dumb if you ask me but it worked. Now question: how do you handle your contacts? Do you use Google, Outlook, Windows Contacts, other?

Well I'm glad the issue wasn't with this ROM. I'm not so glad that HTC sync still has huge bugs in it
I let Google handle my personal contacts, and sync with an exchange server for my business contacts. The Hero handles both quite nicely for my purposes.
so far so good on this rom.I previously had Modaco's so the transition went smooth.I did have some issue with the force close on few apps but a simple clear cache solved the problem.I'm satisfied with this rom.
I've changed my optimization routine. Some of the resources had to be removed and replaced. I'm also able to use the original .odex files and don't have to testsign the new apks.
In short, I still have all but one of the original HTC backgrounds built in (not important, but something I wanted to keep) and they are still at high quality. The file size hasn't changed much, but the performance has. This isn't too important now, but with Android 2.x the Hero LCD is supposedly going to be able to display in it's native color depth (262k) and should make a huge difference in looks.
Or maybe I'm crazy. In any case Sense runs better on my phones, especially the transition between screens. It looks 99% the same, I had to change the launcher bar a bit because some of the files would not optimize enough for my tastes.
what program are you using for the screen shot?

Hey great rom again. went smooth as silk. also i want to ask you something? What are your thoughts on task killers? i tend to not like them cause i feel that my phone runs faster then with one. people should know the this Linux is not windows and a task killer i would figure would do more draining the battery then not using one. cause your phone is fighting for life with one running and killing apps. whats your thoughts i would love to know. Also great work and so much more better then the stock rom.Can not wait for the release of sprint htc android 2.1 cause i know you will get busy as soon as you have it. i will be here to help and test your roms. and today i test and ran your rom through two battery cycles and so far not a force close and all works great. thanks for the help with getting rid of drop bear.
Those of us who know about Linux say app killers are just a waste of time and will probably slow things down.
Phil.
