This is a project that aims for that good 'ol speed and stability our Hero had when it was struttin' his a&% on an android version older than my grandmother. This rom contains Android 2.1 with, according to Wikipedia - Original Sense!
General Info: Sense UI is based on the UI for Windows mobile called Touch FLO 3D which made his debut back in 2008 on a HTC Touch Diamond.
Please keep in mind that some of the applications may not work *correctly* (facebook for sense, peep etc.) hence they are too old and the API-s have changed in the meantime.
The beauty of sense (talking about this particular sense version) nowadays is fading away. The status bar header (where your carrier name is written) is too big, the colors are too faded etc. But I'm aiming for speed and stability. The visual look was not forgotten. I personally don't like the stock Sense UI as it was back in 2009/2010 and I've decided to include this theme right here. Thanks to L0cke for that!
The version of the android 2.1 is - 3.32.405.1 - which is in my opinion the smoothest and fastest. Tried playing with 3.36.xxx version - it was a no go for me.

Me for this
Anyone who have been forgotten, please forgive me!
Warning: First boot might take up to 2 minutes to complete. Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your device. Dalvik is dexopting all the apps and frameworks and it moves quite slow. Sit back and relax until it is fully booted.
Thank you!
Thank you!
