Stock Android Rom... where? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, I've just done some fiddling with adb in an attempt to get the default Android Phone app onto my Hero.
I backed up and removed the Phone.apk and Phone.odex from /system/app/ on my Hero and pushed the equivalent files from '2.2-update-dream-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip' but it didnt work so I pushed my Hero's backups back over and all is fine.
Could anyone point me in the direction of a STOCK Android Rom? I'm assuming a 1.5 G1 Rom would be most compatible as people seem to have had success doing this with the default Android Calendar app.
I just cant seem to find a stock rom anywhere!
Any help would be really appreciated

your post is in the wrong forum anyway, you should post in Q&A

And please don't stick a dream Rom on your phone, they are not cross compatible

[Request] Flip Clock (Please help me, i NEED this)

Hi to all,
i'm here to ask to all developers if is it possible to have old (really flipping) flip clock even with newer build.
Is it possible to extract it from older rom and push it into the phone (my hero is not rooted but if it needs i'll root it)
Please help me, it was really really nice and for me it was one of the best visual features of sense UI.
Thanks in advance to all developers that want to make me happy
Best regards,
Andrea
There have been countless threads about this, but attached is the clock apk from the 1.76.61.3 build i have when i nandroided my stock orange htc hero. I tried to push it onto my hero when i had MCR 2.6, but kept getting Force closes. (probably because from different build).
You can try if you want but it probably will FC. If someone could modify it to work with 2.73x build, would be much appreciated.

Help! Newbie Question

Currently I have a VS G-Tablet running VegANtab 7.0.0. It's a miracle that I was somehow able to install that rom without significant problems. I like VegANtab, but I find myself longing for the old stock interface (dashboard launcher) and the old apps which I cannot duplicate through the app store or at least I cannot find any self-contained calendar or contacts apps that do not sync to a google account. (I hate that syncing.)
So I'm looking for a way to run the old interface on a more current rom. I understand that this is TnT which is not VegANtab. I've searched the internet for ways to do this, and the results I received have left my head spinning.
Apparently, it is possible to do so with something called a Caulkin rom. What is a Caulkin rom? Something like TnT or CyanogenMod? I've never come across it before. Is the Caulkin rom just a kernel, and I have to install another rom together with it?
Can anyone point me to some info about this rom and to where I can download it?
Thanks.
There is a thread for Caulkulin's rom in the development section. It's just a seperate Rom, like the Vegan that you're using, or the original TNT was. Basically, you just flash it like you did the Vegan 7 Rom that you've already flashed.
It's called Caulkulin/Clemysn because it also comes with a custom kernel developed by Clemsyn. For instance, with you're vegantab 7 rom, you could always also flash a kernel, Clemysn, Pershoot, etc...but with the Caulkulin one, it comes packaged with the Rom.
There are many, many roms out there, now..it's basically up to you ot find one that makes you happy. some are ports of other systems roms, while others are more built from scratch using information that is available.

[Q] Exchanging Swype in flashed ROM (LR 2.1)

Hi everyone,
new to the forums and Android. Been a reader for a while now. I have just updated from Litening Rom 1.5 to 2.0 and I must say I don't like how Swype works in 2.3.4. I've searched the forums but didn't come up with anything. Maybe I was searching for the wrong keywords...
Anyway, I want to know is it possible to replace the Swype that is currently on my phone with the one that was in let say LR 1.5? If yes, what file do I need to exchange?
Thanks in advance for your help.
what was your version of swype now? mine is 2.72.77.25374.25547.1252.OXX. and i think its accuracy is really bad. a let down when i show my friends.
btw im on stock rom

[Q] Cant download any roms

Hello people im a noob i know, but ive searched the entire forum ive read the threads on developmente with [ROM], but i can never download a working rom, what m i doing rong, are you all hiding the roms.
P.s - After following several tutorials i have rooted and installed rom manager and clockworkmod on my viewpad7 so i just cant find any roms to test it, thank you in advance.
Anyone, really i can find the place to download them, i found a link to a paid website, and then it says private, other then that nothing.
Can anyone help me ??
Is that a big secret ?
Im still searching, can someone give me a reliable link ? PLEASE
Welcome, I'm not sure which specific custom ROM for the Vpad7 you are looking for, it would help if you can be spell it out ...
You are aware that newer ones are ITE (multi-touch screen) hardware/firmware based and older/generic/other name-branded ones are non-ITE, and the few Roms developed mostly in 2011 are distinct for each group.
Any and all files, including ROMS, patches and downloads housed on multiupload.com sites have been DOWN and unavailable as those servers have all been offline and shut - for good apparently, as in permanent. (Goggle for what happened, as you obviously are unaware as newbie around here ... as I won't go into details)
The EU V1.7b (ITE verison) is available via my dropbox as OP has been away & will have a new link up shortly - see below & perhaps you will better understood.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224825&page=31
Another recently posted ROM - KWBR V3.2 based on U.K. ROM (also for ITE) and is available for use, I successfully downloaded it & used it briefly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386469
FlintFire_V1.0 zip download seemed to be available as it's also housed on a DropBox account
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236988
These should be adequate to get started - read, read & read first, then - backup before proceed at your own risk and speed with OP's instructions. Good luck !
Thank you so much for the answer, as for those websites being closed, yes i know whats happening, im not that newbie .
My viewpad is ITE, and i had it rooted and installed clockworkmod, so im not looking for any specific rom, i just want one that would increase the performance and mainly the speed of my vpad7, so what you recommend ?
Still cant really find any usefull link.
Thank you in advance.

I use EU V1.7b ITE ROM as my favorite ROM of choice, developer is back and one of the best around here for the Vpad7.
The CPU has practical limits and hardware cannot be overclocked at this point, performance is optimized AFAIK - YMMV.
Don't know what else to say about it ... Happy searching to you on "any usefull link"
Thank you for all, im finally getting some working links, sucessfully downloaded and still trying kwbr Viewpad 4.0.
Very strange, its installing without asking everything i had before even very old stuff that i had uninstalled long time ago, but i did erase all the cache before loading this ROM, is this normal ?
Never mind, fixed it , i just set everything to factory settings because i noticed the account was not syncing, now i have the ROM kwbr working with the account syncing, im installing whatever i want, everything working fine its even faster.

[Q] Assistance locating mods for custom rom development?

First thing first, Yes I am a noob. I am trying to learn how to build custom roms. I already created a working rom based off of the UCPLC5 leak. I pretty much just deleted apk files and zipaligned the rom. I am wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me figure out where to find fix'x and mods such as accurate battery mod or 5ghz wifi fix. Is there a website that I need to look into? I have tried searching google to no avail. I also tried the search here but I am unable to get any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
you're on pretty much the only resource you need.....learn how to search, thats all i can say, because there is no 'directory of mods/fixes'.....

Task did 90% of the work, you just tweaked that base.
Learn to grab the untouched firmware and extract, deodex it then start working from that.
If you are working on a i9100 base, it would be best to check there forum section.
Deodexing and a number of the basic porting fixes are covered in my guide in the Development section.
5 GHz wifi fix doesn't apply to AT&T bases unless AT&T ****ed up on an epic scale, it's only for ported European firmwares. That's covered in the guide too.

More than that....more like 99.5. I wouldn't even call it tweaking yet.
