This is a pure, working AOSP build which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. Various hardware-specific code are still included, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

* Can be used with or without Google applications
* Kernel 2.6.29 from HTC with my own and others fews tweaks)
* CM6 full CHANGELOG for all credits and details

All source code is available at the CyanogenMod Github! Send pull requests with your changes!

1. Unlock your device and install Amon_RA's recovery image
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Update your radio if necessary
4. WIPE
5. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Addon

- Upgrading?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!

That does it Lox! You are just too awesome mate! How can we send you beer money?

Thanks Lox. Great Job.

The radio you posted is an image, so I created a signed update zip file:

update-hero-gsm-radio-63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.11-signed.zip

Tested on mine Hero and works fine. First ever signed update file I've created, thanks to Daneshm90's script.

Awesome work! After going through many unstable 2.1 builds when it was released, this first 2.2 feels really solid. Little FC's and some bugs of course, but definitly useable on a day to day basis.

EU OTA 2.1 came with 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11. This radio also works. Maybe PH and PU radios are in fact the same thing.

I think you are correct.

lox, the pm system doesn't like your nick, please get ahold of me (here or IRC) so i can set you up on the issue tracker.

that being said, I don't think "test0" bugs should go in the issue tracker.

This is because of the font Droid Sans Fallback is missing from /system/fonts.

I've uploaded it to the xda-developers topic here: View Single Post

I have the same problem, using Amon Ra 1.6.2

*EDIT: I've flashed the most recent nightly update as well as FRF83, but I keep getting the same error every time I try to flash FRF91:

E:Wrong digest:
   system/lib/libspeech.so
E:Verification failed

[AnotherCanuck]

Hey Lox, I can confirm the same is happening for me.

Verifying update package...

I checked the MD5, it matches the one you provided.

Using Amon_RA 1.6.2
