Thanks for the port Arnoslag!

Yes it booted. After it settled down I ATTEMPTED to install Fly kernel 13, but the phone didn't boot up afterwards. I installed Las Venturax 0.6.2 and everything was fine again.

Some observations (in no particular order):
-camera seems to sort of work. I got a FC when trying to take a picture. Did not try video.
-during syncing of gmail account the phone was very slugglish but this was expected
-removed all the sense widgets except the flip clock and it seemed to help speed up the ROM's responsiveness... as did turning off animations. edit: I removed the flip clock too. edit#2: I used setcpu to crank up the min and max to 652MHz and it has helped the unlock ring and general usage. ring unlock is still a little laggy.
-wifi works fine, so does 3G data
-have had a couple of superuser FC's when going into setcpu
-in one instance I received a phone call and hung up after 4 seconds. The phone got really slow and then I got a sense FC which made sense restart.
-whatever version of market is on this ROM is slow
-there is no web browser included in this ROM

~~~~~~~~~~~
edit: was trying to download Gmaps from the market over wifi when market hung and gave me an FC for com.android.mms

u think is it possible to revert back to older Market? the newer Market seems slow on loading, probably heavy on graphics..

the camera can take a pic, but have no zoom function. weather animations seems lacking its animation(like fog animation, cloudy animation). only rain animation is visible(well, my place won't snow, it's near equator).

Very nice ROM, but browser FCs the minute I go to another site. Other than that no problems, only one sense reload. Tried with Las Venturas 0.5 and Las Venturax 0.6.2 .

    the gsm hero xda community that has been reborn over the past few months is truly a great example of teamwork and good spirit.

    I'm so proud to be a part of this community and only wish I had time to learn the hacking part of android firmware stuff like you folks have done.

    Thank you all for continuing to push the limits of "the little engine that could" which is the GSM Hero 1XX.

    yes but when i restart phone again im getting process com.htc.launcher error when tap on all apps

    Click to collapse

    oh, I haven't restarted yet. still doing initial google account sync which takes about half an hour. I never (if possible) stop this process since the phone runs like crap until it's done on all of these gb sense roms so I just want it done so I can get a real impression of the rom's speed.

    once this sync is done I'll reboot and see if I get taht error also. hopefully not, but probably will based on what you've said. :-(
