Haha, not released yet. But some good news for the Hero owners!

Been reading the tweets on: Nathan Russell (nprussell) on Twitter

Think I'll give it a go too, what the heck. Just worried about this new radio img with Orange. Some seem to say it won't work at all, some say no problem, some even say DON'T FLASH ON ORANGE !!!!!

 

[Jaffa]

No need to change from your current radio

 

[Jaffa]

FB is missing you need THIS package to add it..

 

[tojjer]

Cheers Jaff. Tried flashing the new radio onto my Modaco3.2, but it asked for a network pin number. Wouldn't work anyway, back on the old one now.

Installed and seems good. MMS worked straight out the box for me on Orange

 

[Jaffa]

It's very smooth, battery life seemsgreat also

[ronin]

I like a lot!

Seems very smooth and fast - a nice change from the nightmare 6.2 gave me.

No issues as yet...

 

[Jaffa]

Gps. Works.. and mms. Facebook needs some work

 

[jan2lid]

Working smooth as anything! Well done those guys

Anybody had a problem with the keyboard no coming up? Full wipe to install V10 (Looks great, thanks guys much better than the ill fated 6.xx), all working well but when I am in an input field the keyboard stubbornly refuses to show.

Sorry my bad, One last reboot fixed the problem, All good now thanks again for all the work

 

[Jaffa]

Does anyone have Facebook syncing with people?

 

[Jaffa]

Aplired the OTA FB update, my keyboard stopped working... Anyone else/?

Adz, try these links. The first might be able to get you the full villainROM site, the second is just a mirror for the download.

Lovely, thank you very much

Well I couldn't wait any longer for MoDaCo and as this supports apps2sd I thought I'd give it a go.
There were a few things I had to sort out at first like Facebook and enabling paid market apps, but I have to say this ROM is such a huge leap forward for me. From the speed of bootup to the responsiveness of the UI, browser and scrolling, this is a dream. Everything is perfect now. MoDaco will have be something truly special for me to wipe again in the near future. This is definately a keeper!
