/yeah, I've been researching this all morning with the different things they were trying to get around, but it seems to be working pretty smooth. I'm actually about to flash it here in a sec.

Update:
SPRINT MR UPDATE NOW INTEGRATED IN TO FRESH ROM. I HAVE REMOVED THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANUALLY UPDATING. JUST GET FRESH ROM 0.4
flipz(mode) and freshlyill are proud to release: Fresh Rom for CDMA HTC Hero (Sprint) 0.4!
DOWNLOAD NOW AVAILABLE:
Code

-- Built off the new Sprint 1.59 Base!
Note: I tested this update 3 different ways: from a 1.29 phone, from a 1.59 phone that had manually added the update, and from a 1.59 phone that received the OTA update. All worked fine, but you do this at your own risk! Make a nandroid backup.
Known issues:
Looks like people coming from modaco to this rom are having either locks ups / boot loops or force closes on 0.4. Avoid for now if you are on modaco. Working on an fix right now but I have to install modaco first to test.
"You took out ____ and I want it back":

- This is a link to download a zip of all the stock apps that have been removed so far from this rom. If we took something out that you use then grab this zip and push any apps you want back to /system/app and reboot. This is NOT an update.zip style update. -- Updated for the 1.59 base. Do not use the old ones on the new base! Every stock .apk and .odex had some type of check digit added to it during the update and will cause force closes if you use the old ones.
Base: Hero_C_Sprint_1.59.651.1_signed_release (Sprint MR Update)
Tested with: recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3

In this release (0.2b) 11/17/09:
This is more of a "maintainance release" as Sprint would call it. It was mostly just to add Apps2SD support to resolve problems people were receiving when upgrading to this rom if they had apps2sd.
Added: Apps2SD support (**Read my note in the second post**)
Added: busybox
Added: Java
Fixed: Errors caused by certain users who were already using apps2sd
Modified: Tweaked the boot up sound a little more to quiet it down but not remove it.
Removed: Spare Parts
Removed: Wireless Tether (likely temporary. if you need it back just download from here and push it to /system/app.)

Changes / notes / observations about Sprint update:
- Stock messaging app works. No wake lock on outbound text. But it seems so plain now. Haha.
- HTC's weather seems to be working a lot better. Updates more often.
- Some people complained that apps they could get from the market place before could no longer be seen. I haven't experienced this issue but it's likely caused by the market place not recognizing the new fingerprint. I imagine the problem will be resolved for everyone.
- All stock .apk and .odex files had some type of modification or check digit added to them during the update. I tried putting the old ones back on just to test and was getting force closes. So beware of putting any modified stock apk's back on (like Rosie) until they get re-done.
Flashing this rom should keep all of your personal settings and should not wipe anything but you are doing it at your own risk. I make no promises on what may happen to your device and your data. This also means that unlike winmo, it's not going to look different after you flash. It will look just as it was before hand.
Requirements:
A rooted CDMA HTC Hero by Sprint. RA's recovery loaded on. If you have any questions on that then please visit one of the other various threads on here about how to root your phone.
How to use it:
0. Create a nandroid backup!
1. Copy this rom (do not unzip) to the root of your sdcard using one of the various methods.
2. Go to the recovery program by either typing "reboot recovery" from an adb shell or by powering off the phone and holding Home while you power it on.
3. Scroll down to "Apply sdcard: choose zip" and select the zipped rom. Press the home button to confirm you want to write it.
4. After it finishes (takes several minutes) click "Reboot system now".
Background:
We are both new to Android development having recently switched from Windows Mobile phones. This is our first release. The current goal is to make a rom (from a clean image of stock RUU) that is optimized and stripped of unneeded items. In this case that is mostly going to consists of the Sprint applications that take up space and the HTC apps that like to constantly launch themselves in the background. If we took out anything that you like then they can be added back in manually. We'll provide more instructions and possibly some app packs later to help you with that. I personally would have stripped Rosie (senseui) but freshlyill likes it too much. :-p . I will likely release an ultra-light version that removes it.
What this rom isn't:
This was my blurb talking about how this rom doesn't fix HTC's issues (like the sms/battery issue) but those should be resolved now with the new base.
Bugs? Questions? Comments? Ideas? Please post here. Special thanks to MoDaCo for putting the first CDMA rom out there.
