currently running on villainrom 12...
problems faced : some of my previous apps like hancent and mixzing cant be intalled. Says installation unsuccessful. When i click on it, it says insufficient storage available...but i have plenty of memory left..help?

Bro boxcar-ST,

Try reboot your Hero.

Else, add this line to your update-script



Resign and reflash your VR12.

This is true only if you cannot install from the Market at all.

Edit: Maybe you can paste VR12 update-script here.

does CM6 for Hero include that salmon tint thing?

haha..salmon tint..? i dont get ya..bro..

This SurfaceFlinger hack here:-
http://jsharkey.org/blog/2010/07/01/androi...fun-and-profit/

It is built into CM6 from what I heard. Great battery saver.

Hero not OLED rite?

Damnit...I'm so dumb sometimes.

Why dont you try on your N1 and update us ..?

cm5.0.8 is froyo?

I'll definitely flash to CM6 once it's final. The RC1 right now is not that stable. CM5.0.08 is Eclair but uses Froyo radio.
