Cyanogen Mod 6.1 Release Candidate 1 - Hero GSM

[CandymanMike]

I am happy to bring you CyanogenMod 6.1 RC 1 for Hero GSM. All credit goes to the Cyanogen Team. Neither myself nor M3 had anything to do with the creation of this ROM. We are simply bringing it to you with permission from the Cyanogen Team. This is the first release candidate for CyanogenMod 6.1. It is not a finished product. If you have been running Cyanogen Nightlies, this will be very much the same as the nighlty builds are the test builds leading up to this release. Enjoy and thanks again to Cyanogen and his team! For support of this ROM please visit the CyanogenMod Website.


CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.2 (Froyo) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

This is an AOSP-based build with extra contributions from many people which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Visit the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes and features!

All source code is available at the CyanogenMod Github!
