This is official android 1.6 release for ADP1 + some AOSP, rooted and modified.

3.1

* Fixed data synchronization
* Better terminal instead of terminal.apk
* WIFI Tether 1.6pre3
* More languages
* Camera should be fixed

Suggest to wipe ext, and wipe data. You know the rules, might not be really required, but expect some FC's and problems.

And does the Cyanogenized 1.4 Recovery image count here?

I have a feeling they are going to lock this one too, probably because the Google Apps are included.

So they should close all HERO and Rogers and almost all others.

If they lock this one, then someone high up at xda needs to write a clear policy about what is and isn't allowed on this site, Rom-wise. At the moment I'm sure its individal mods acting alone, each with differing interpretations of what the current site policy is.

If this Rom gets grief, I assume the same standards will apply to Hero roms? Have they closed down the theme boards yet? The problem is (in my view) is that there are far too many mods with itchy trigger fingers (see the raspberry link at the bottom of the first post in my BetterBrowser thread in my sig for a prime example)

Cyanogen is the subject of a cease and desist. Akirah isn't, neither is xda as a site. As long as the files are offsite thus ensuring xda isn't liable, why are different standards being applied here versus the WinMo boards?

have flashed and have no complaints, it zoom zoom super fast!!, everything seems to work have just installed advanced launcher.

Coming from Cyanogens latest experimental build, the install blackscreened me. Wiped, cleared cache, and installed. Reflashed with the same result. I would love to watch what is happening with the adb tools, but that hasn't worked since I installed win7/

Where is the step in which you actually flash?
