This is based on CM6.1's nightly, which I think is meant to be the stable release for the Hero. It's certainly stable enough for my liking
As for what's new/fixed, look at the CM6.1 changelog.
Overscrolling works, apps that whined about the version string should work now, and there's a new call screen from CM that means you don't put people on hold with your ear, when on a call. Plus everything else from Cyanogenmod that got fixed or improved
Before I go onto the ROM, I would like to thank a fair load of people. First of all, all the Cyanogenmod developers. Without them, this ROM would not exist. Big props out to them for their excellent work. Next, the VillainROM developers, including Ninpo for his ARM optimisations in CM6.1, Kendon for his usual behind the scenes scripts and time in setting things up, DMzda for his dedication in helping me test this ROM in the latter stages, MikeBeecham for his artwork and designs used throughout the ROM, HomerSp for his help taking Mike's bootscreen to life, and everyone else who has been there helping... Shen, Lenny, NPRussell, Mike, RaiderX, RichardTrip, Acolwill, Alankila and sorry if I forgot anyone. But this ain't an Oscar speech, so I must stop now.
Finally big props go to Erasmux, whose FlyKernel 11c has been tweaked slightly for performance. Details of the tweaks below...
So here we go...
FroydVillain 1.7.0
NOTES:
Nothing much, but let's proclaim the glory of CyanogenMod again Thanks guys.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Nandroid backup
3. Wipe of data, dalvik and cache (optional, but if you need help, you're gonna need to do this first before asking!)
4. Flash the ROM
5. Reboot. At setup screen, give it time to complete optimisation after boot... Should settle down in about 5 minutes, more if you didn't wipe EXT.
