Download Elelinux here: [ROM]FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.2 (updated 2010-10-24)[ROM] - xda-developers

You don't need to install a new kernel as Flykernel 11 stock is default, but you can get O/C Flykernel 11 from here: [Kernel] Flykernel-11 "Smartass" - xda-developers

Unless you notice poor battery i don't think there is any point to calibrate. I get about 3 days on Elelinux with the Flykernel O/C 672/176.

For those who haven't checked the XDA the past few days, there's a working Froyo ROM with Sense for Hero finally!

It was ported from HTC Grata. I tried it just now and can say apart from a few things not working (wifi, camera), everything else is functional and reasonably fast. What's more encouraging is that VR team is now working on it and said a complete port should be available within one month. Seems like the wait is almost over.

Just out curiousity, will there be a official 2.2 for Hero or it is unlikely as it's quite old now?

Elinux.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but is it an actual 2.2 Froyo with tweaks or 2.1 impersonating a Froyo?

Cool. Was thinking looking at the kernel it might have been a linux install masquarading as 2.2.

I hear it's the best one, but I seem to have problems with mine sometimes.

Speed varies. Sometimes its smooth and others it slows down to a crawl and no amount of deleting witg task killer makes a difference. Maybe I have too many apps in the phone memory that needs to be moved to SD/ or deleted? I don't know.

noticed sometimes Haptic feedback goes haywire and the edge of the screen can be unresponsive, though that might not be neccessarily a software issue.

Any advice mate?

Well, for a start I don't recommend using a task killer. At all. It's a very hotly debated subject in the world of android, but you really shouldn't need one. (Android is designed to keep your RAM full of apps, and a task killer just screws everything up). They are only really good for dealing with misbehaving apps, in which case you're probably better off uninstalling the app in question.

I don't really know about the other two. I would normally recommend redownloading and reflashing (or updating to RC1 in this case), in case of a corrupt download/install. It's always possible your task killer is to blame too.

Re-install and wipe (again?)

Removed Task killer, but it's not fixed all the bugs...

whats the best mirror/server for the newest RC1 kernel?
