I'm thinking of moving from the Hero roms back to good old CyanMod in my own personal "[expletive deleted] off!" to Google. However, I remember the old Phone/Dialer combo from pre-Hero Android lacking a T9 search and recent/missed/dialed calls in the dialer view, as I'm farrrrr too used to now with Hero.
I've tried some of the free market apps (Dialer+ and SuperDial to be specific) and I can deal with them (SuperDial) if need be, but is there any better dialer alternative for CM roms? Or should I just shutup and deal with it until Google gets their cranium out of there rectum and starts making Android as great as it can be?

You got it, Dialer+, superDialer, and Smart Dialer is all there is. You could try using Enomther's Rogers build to get the HTC Dialer back though...
Also, you should be able to use Cyanoge's boot.img with a stock rogers's rom to make your own build. You get BFS goodness, plus cyanonge's roms already have a com.htc.framework.jar call in the boot classpath, so Rogers should work fine
Has anyone found out how to make voice search work? I tried different ways and still come up with results that are not even close.
You must be using an Eclair build, they haven't quite got the audio lib's perfect so voice search doesn't work yet.
If you really want it, use a donut build like plemen's or myn's. Voice search works great on donut.
What is the best (most painless) way to go from donut to eclair and keep your apps and data?
Do you just have to redownload all of them or is there a way to back them up such that you can access them in the new build?
I know you can't restore data from a backup made in a different version, but is there any other way?

What is the benefit of going to Eclair? I know Eclair on Vogue has the following issues. Correct me, if I'm wrong.
cons of Eclair:
no camera
unstable and slow
battery drain

1. correct, no camera
2. May not be as fast as donut, but it is fast and stable
3. Pretty close to the same battery life for me, good for a couple days with light use
the benefits I see are more eye candy and the facebook integration is pretty cool, along with the slide lock screen and live wallpapers and whatnot
I have mssmison's 2.1 on nand and myn's donut on my ext2, its pretty cool to be able to go back and forth, plus you can show it off to your friends if ya want
all in all 2.1 is catching up as mssmison is doing a great job

That's promising.
I have a question. Does voice command fully work on mssmison?
For example, will "navigate to home" work?

I just tried it, and it started up navigation just fine. I don't have a place set as "home" so it didn't take me anywhere, though
Alright, I've been meaning to do this a while;
Jamezelle asked me to port his Sense Hero build over to the new installation method a while back but I've been really caught up with my personal build. Now that I'm at a level I'm comfortable with I had some time to do this for James.
Bear in mind this is a cupcake based build, so alot of the new work we've done to tweak android won't work here. But it was good then and it's just as good now
Please don't use the 'orange' launcher on setup. I just realized now after uploading 100MB that I put in a donut launcher that won't work in cupcake. so just use rosie.
I've tweaked it a little, including userinit on boot etc.
It is nandable. Boot up is slow because it isn't odexed however once up and running it runs as good as.. well as good as it did before.. lol

Just tried out nand. Its quicker than most hero builds but i cant get passed the usual incoming calls delay. 4 rings before displaying. Also, cant get passed iit being cupcake. Love the sense hero look though. Thanks for the effort

i have been able to download just fine from the market,
did you do a clean wipe or try to keep stuff from your last build when installing?

also you dont need to format your card for donut and above. so if you had started out with donut or eclair and didnt format your card thats probably why. cause i had to format my sdcard when i was using cupcake but then i had got a new sdcard and immediately switched to donut but never formatted my sdcard and it worked. just throwing out some possibilities

Hereyugo..
I love the Hero, thanks so much! I think it's running even faster than the tatoo, but since it's cupcake, all the wifi updates I have for donut and eclair don't work for the cupcake (I tried and with no luck), it would be perfect for daily use if the wifi is working, anyway, appreciate for your work!
Thanks for all the info guys. I love the senseui in this SenseHero build…but I honestly miss Myn's Warm Donut. It is the most fast and reliable build I have tried for the vogue. Even with the Market working in the SenseHero build, it lags to much to me. I will really miss using the mail, sms, album, and calendar widgets that are in this build. Does any one know if I could just take the apk's of the widgets out of the data/apps to insert into the ported Hero theme in Myn's Warm Dount?

Has anyone yet found a solution for the voice dialler on captivate-based 2.2 froyo roms?
I'm running cognition 3.04 currently, and I haven't heard any news for this long standing issue...
I can pull up the voice dialler with my bluetooth headset, but it doesn't recognize any of my commands.

Doesn't work on the rogers release either. I imagine it won't be an available option when att finally releases froyo.
Firefly worked with voice dialing ( and bluetooth voice dialing ) without doing anything. Just flash it.
