UK - Need Google Navigation what ROM - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry if it's been asked a thousand times :-[
Can someone point me to a wiki page with what ROM and bits I need.
I've got a direct HTC Hero, not Orange or anything like that.

I would recommend VillainROM 5.5 - this has working Navigation in the UK with voiced directions
My guide will talk you through how to install if you've not rooted yet (complete newbie guide).

Get any custom 2.1 ROM and use Brut map (normally installed on customs) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Tested working in London.

Google Navigation

I seem to recall that you could get Google Navigation working here in the UK -
I'm running Espresso Hybrid ROM 2.1 ( highly recommended of the 2.1 Roms ).
Thanks
PS - I did search

[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] Extreme Legend™ Fuse - Custom Cyanogenmod 7 for the HTC Legend Problems

Hi all,
does anyone who is using "[ROM][MAR4]ExtremeLegendFuse™2|CustomCM7|FAST|CM9Music|STABLE |T9Dialer" have problems with Navigon Europe v4.6 graphics?
Apk Installation O.K., maps installation O.K., but when running it, the maps are unreadable, like scrambled view. I flashed ROM once again, formated the SD card, made a new installation of the apk and maps, but without luck.
Anyone else experienced the same problem? What to do? The ROM is extremely fast and I like it, though there are some things I prefer with other ROM's, but speed matters to me.
Best Regards

The same to me
A few more Facts
Hi, just to clarify to all of you when testing the ROMs.
I'm experiencing the same problem (NAVIGON problem) with HomICS 2.0 Venus ROM. Everything else is OK.
Viewranger and Navionics Marine Europe, which I use a lot, works fine with their maps.
With ROM CM7.2 stable DEODEXED, having no problem, but it is too slow in moments.
With ICS CM9.1 (Zeubeas) having no problem, but it freezes when have a tracker on, or during making a call.
Please advise what settings should I set, if possible in order to get NAVIGON operating in Extreme Legend Fuse? I think it should have to do something with graphics, or else?
Thanks again and best regards
I switch to use Sense 3.5 / Android 2.3.5, it's very smooth and nice but SIM Toolkit not work. Btw thats amazing ROM, you should try!
Can someone with enough rights, paste this problem to the HTC LEgend Development section under "Extreme Legend™ Fuse - Custom Cyanogenmod 7 for the HTC", please.
Thank you and best regards

Jeah John, tell me about it!!
Now I'm using zueba's 9.1, but bugs appear all the time. With this particular ROM I must say I didn't have such problems.
I really don't know why those ROMs present wrong graphic, though I must say I'm a newbie and to be honest I don't know sh.t.
Anyway, if someone can help please do.
Best Regards

[Q] UltimaRom Voice Search

Hi there,
I am new posting on XDA, but an old android guy =P
I am flashing Ultima Rom v3 but I am getting FC on Voice search. I followed the troubleshooting on the thread, but was not able to fix.
As I love the pure JB look and feel, I would not like to change room (as CM 10 is under development yet). Could someone help me figure out how to flash this ROM properly?
Many thanks
EDIT: I just deleted the stock google search using Titanium Backup and installed again from the Market, it is working like charm!

Need help with dialer

sorry for starting a new thread but i have researched and tried everything i could before posting here.
i own a i777 and am located in india. recently i had a baby and my wife is at her mother's place with the baby. i use native 3g video calling daily to talk to them. the problem is, i have found only one rom (mystic glory- which is a great rom, thks to Mysticking)so far with "dialer with contacts" .i have been using this rom for last 6 months dd basis.
Now i would like to get myself some jellybeans on the phone. i had downloaded a lot of jb roms(i777, ported i777, tried hellraising i9100 roms) hoping to have native video calling....but no luck......couldnt successfully hellraise i9100 roms with the procedures mentioned in ported development forum.
i have also tried to install several respective "dialer with contacts" (respective meaning xxlsj, xwlpg, xwlpq etc) mods and .apk files using the method of puting them in system folder with solid explorer (followed exact steps descried in general forum to replace system apks) but no luck what so ever.
i cant even use dual booting, since mystic's rom is ics and there is no kernel (to the best of my knowledge) that can dual boot ics and jb together. so basically i m stuck with mystic glory (no disrespect to Mysticking or his rom which is superb for ics).
now my question is can somebody direct me in the right direction, and suggest a foolproof method to install "dialer with contatcs" on practically all roms so i can explore the treasure of roms developed by beautiful ppl of xda. i m not an expert yet, but i can follow proper directions very well. willing to learn and do basic programming if i have to.
Or even better if somebody can be so kind to develope a app like market app whick can be installed on any rom.
please help.

I think most roms remove the video call feature because we can't use it in the US. You can try asking a rom developer to give you a cwm flashable file of the dialer with video call (if it originally had it).
