CyanogenMod Froyo ROMs hit RC for Nexus One, Dream, Magic (updated)

CyanogenMod Froyo ROMs hit RC for Nexus One, Dream, Magic (updated): ”
For those of you patiently (or not so much) waiting for Cyanogen and Team Douche to release a semi-official Android 2.2 ROM, it’s time to get flashing. CyanogenMod-6.0.0 RC1 was posted up early this morning, with builds for the Nexus One, Dream and Magic, which should cover a good many of us. You can snag the new builds in the usual places, including the CM Nexus One and D/M forums, XDA Developers (N1, D/M) and our favorite, ROM Manager.
For the noobs out there, the CyanogenMod series of ROMs are custom built from the official Android Open Source Project files by trained professionals (professional somethings, anyway), tested and released to the masses. (Check out the full changelog here.) We swear by ‘em, and you should, too. [Cyanogen]
Update: A new CM Droid ROM is now in ROM Manager and the other usual places. Huzzah!

HTC Hero Android 2.1 Upgrade!
Jun 27th
I have been waiting for sometime for my HTC Hero to have a firmware update from 1.5 to 2.1. This morning when I connect my phone to the internet, it prompted me for the update. I was surprise at first and later impressed with the update downloaded and install in my phone seamlessly all through my mobile broadband. And the best thing was all my data was intact after the installation. How cool is that?
I have to give credit to HTC for that!
India get’s Android 2.1 upgrade for HTC Hero
Jun 27th
What a good morning it is! I thought, I HTC hero would never get a firmware upgrade, and I would be stuck with Android 1.5 forever. But, this morning, I found a dialog asking me to upgrade the firmware. NICE!!!!
But, it seems that this is a two step upgrade process. The first one is the:
720p HD Video Recorded on the Google Nexus One
Jun 10th
Here’s a quick video I shot this morning on my Nexus One using the new 720p video hack. I recorded the video and uploaded it directly to YouTube, no intermediate video processing went into it, so it should show you what that hardware itself is capable of. Recording video at 1280 by 720 is no easy task, and for a phone to be able to accomplish it really speaks highly of the hardware that HTC is building into their devices.

by Nathan:
Here it is, at long last. To all those that have stuck by me (and the rest of the VillainROM team) since I began
developing for the Hero in January, thank you. I hope this ROM is the ROM you’ve been waiting for.
developing for the Hero in January, thank you. I hope this ROM is the ROM you’ve been waiting for.
This morning, an OFFICIAL GSM HERO 2.1 Patch, complete with Radio arrived in my dropbox with
a simple message – ‘OKAY TO RELEASE’. Within 10 minutes, Pulser and I had stripped it down and
began rebuilding it. We’re pleased to say folks, it’s a great ROM; and it’s fast.
quick word from kendon: i will try to set up a kitchen on saturday. i know it’s urgent 
A full wipe (data & dalvik-cache & sd-ext) is higly recommended to avoid problems of any kind!
DOWNLOAD HERE | see about radio here
What works?
Everything, of course.
What extras are included/What’s been done?
Custom OC Kernel (up to 690mhz), thanks to our very own Kendon.
Superuser – ROOT access
Busybox
VPN Modules
Apps2SD
Optimizations to cache management
Multi language support
Voice search and dialer
Optimized applications
HTC modified keyboard
Gallery 3D
Wifi Tethering via aNetShare
Why VillainROM 10? Because it is finally a release build on an official update!
APNs work out the box for most major networks.
Please note: due to a technical limitation with the VillainROM OTA Updater it shows
VillainROM7.0.0 in Firmware version. This is correct, it is equal to VillainROM10 (as it says in Build number)
Kernel sources available on github (http://github.com/kendon/HeRo-2.6.29-GoDmOdE)
- thanks to Behnam/toastcfh for the original modified sources
Special Thanks to: Pulser, HomerSP, Shen, Kendon, LennyUK, Jeremy, McDuck, MikeCoffee, Behnaam, jnwhiteh,
Tristan202, RaiderX & anyone else that’s ever helped, in any way with hosting, development, and theming.
