Hi guys I have a quick question, help would be appreciated. I was using axura custom rom for froyo. I upgraded from eclair. Gps never worked properly on stock 2.1. However worked perfectly on axura with no issue. Now I upgraded to official t mobile froyo update and again the gps became useless. I was just wondering if we can apply axura gps settings on official froyo release? Thanks in advance.

Im in need of a stock Vibrant rom that is J16 and has wifi android tether. Anyone can point me in the right direction, please! Want to get tethering for my Ipad, can root my Vibrant, but want to retain J16 for the GPS fix.

You can go here to get MobileAP for JI6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804
Be sure to get the right version: signed-mobileap.vibrant-T959UVJI6.v2.zip
This can be flashed with Clockwork recovery on top of your existing ROM.. there's no need to get a new ROM if you're happy with JI6. This works perfectly for tethering iPad because it works in infrastructure mode.
However, most Froyo ROMs have the MobileAP built in, including the new JL4 leaked "stock" Froyo ROM available in the developer forum. I'm running this now and I highly recommend this upgrade if you prefer the stock experience.. you just have to flash the ROM through ODIN. GPS performance seems fine here as well.
Hello.
I have a very old Hero and got interested in updating it.
I see that Gingerbread 2.3.3 is the latest version, however I don't find any ROM that has it, I only find TastyGinger 1.x which has 2.3.2, why not 2.3.3? And it turns out that the new TastyGinger release (2.0) is marked as "2.3" instead of "2.3.2", does it have an older Android or what?
I've seen also that a lot of people say that Flash doesn't work on Hero. However it's working in mine (Android 1.5), is this because it's Flash Lite? How can I know that? Will the new Gingerbread ROMs include this version of Flash?
Thanks very much.
Hi there
Flash only works with sense roms (Sense is graphic UI that You have probably on Your 1.5 hero). It's flash lite, not full version.
Regarding gingerbread roms - Tasty Ginger haven't received an update for a while.
Gingerbread roms won't include flash, unless some genius dev (with help of few Igors and a trusty thunderstorm) creates a sense gingerbread ROM...but don't hold Your breath, it's almost impossible
cheers!

PS. if You need working flash - try some of the custom 2.1 roms. VillainROM12, RCMix to name the few. I remember that there is 2.2 ROM with sense, but camera is not working on that one.
I can recommend elelinux 7.0 roms, and Cyanogen 7 rom.
Both u can find on this site ( under 'development' for hero)
elelinux rom works very well
Root that Hero and put Cronos Ginger on it. latset build is a 2.3.3

My girlfriend uses my Hero with Elenux 7 and the flykernel. It seems to be stable.
Elelinux 7.0.0 rc2 is rlly stable also is cm7 nightly 18 and if you are looking on a rom with flash tht is updated u can try VillianRom 13 or Tegro 2.5rc3 which are both sense one rosie and other expresso consecutively
the flykernel 12a that i unloaded of XDA no works in any of gingerbread roms, there´s anyone person that have the same problem???
my RADIO IS 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 THANKS!!!!!
Elelinux 7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.5... Works perfect.
elelinux gingerbread rom is great...but I recommend a 2.3.2 rom instead...
there is a memory leakage bug that makes my phone unstable in 2.3.3 roms
elelinux v1.6 just came out yesterday, which presumably fixes the leak. I just installed it a few minutes ago, going to test it now

i was flashed elelinux 7.0.0 RC1 and RC2 BUT THE flykernel 12a doesnt works in my hero. i think that its a interface trouble only in my device.
any person with the same problem? i´m going to lookintg for another kernel and later go to post it here?
desire mee good luck!!!!
ei! i´m with RAKERN 113 with gingerbread (elelinux 7 rc2) ane works fine... a little bit of battery drain but.... it´s a little sacrifice for a good performance.
elinux 7.0 is smooth. it does not have any problem on my hero starting from v0.7 to v1.6

phone without Lagfix and etc updated from T959UVJFD to Android 2.2 (Froyo) through Kies Mini. Can I install a GPS fix T959UVJI6 (JI6) on top
froyo or froyo will fix gps error. And another question, after upgrading to 2.2 froyo phone can not connect to the WIFI router, with 2.1 was no such problem.
So I'm switching back to a Froyo ROM because school's starting soon. My current plan is to do the trigger ROM with the Overstock kernel. I read the OP for trigger 3.2 and 2.9.4 (and re-read it, thank you very much and I can't see what the differences are. They're both froyo roms. Is 3.2 just a recompile? And what's KB5 and KB1 mean? Doesn't it have something to do with the base firmware? Lastly, what's the difference between 3.2_final and 3.2_final_wmfix on the trigger download page? (http://sourceforge.net/projects/trigger-rom/files/) Please excuse my noobishness.... I tried a gingerbread rom and pretty much broke my phone (crashed a lot, almost every app force closed) . I just want to get it stable and battery efficient. Any help?
EDIT: SOLVED!
Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

ICS PASSION.
Stable fast GPS works and its 4.0.3

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...
