[ROM] Anti-Hero by fuser-invent
ANTI-HERO v1.7 by fuser-invent
--- Hybrid ROM Based on Official Stock 0308 Firmware and CM10 ---
NOTE: You should no longer need the comp zip or gsensor fix zip as this ROM is based on the newest stock firmware now.
What is this ROM?
This is the initial release, it works well on my Ainol Hero but may not work great on yours. If you'd like to share this ROM, please link back to this page so that people can easily get updates.
This is a totally stripped down version of the Official Stock 0128 Firmware and some elements of CM10. As of now this custom ROM can only be flashed if you have upgraded to the stock 0128 firmware. There are different g-sensors in different batches of the Ainol Hero, it is unclear so far how to determine the correct build.prop settings to get a fully functional g-sensor without personal experimentation. Unless you have the same batch Hero as I do, you will most likely need to change your build.prop settings to fix your g-sensor. I am collecting data so that I can hopefully make flashable zips in the future to automatically change your build.prop for you.
Here is my devices info:
G-Sensor Calibration Problems
There is now a flashable zip for 1116 build Hero! It's only based on feedback from two users, so please leave a comment if you find different settings work for you. The zip can be found in the main folder.
Although I have provided a g-sensor fixing zip for some Hero's, a small hand-full of Hero users have needed alternative methods to change re-calibrate their g-sensors. Check the links in this post and the apk in this post. Both were submitted by maxmax316. Also LexaR has posted a BMA Calibration app found in this post.

This is not a direct port of my Crystal Clear ROM for the Ainol Crystal tablet but does contain a lot of the same elements. This is essentially a repack/kang/hybrid or whatever you want to call it. The core of ROM is the official firmware but I have baked in a lot of fixes/tweaks/mods.
I am not a real developer, just an amateur who learns very quickly. I used to know C++ pretty well about 14 years ago when I was a teenager but have subsequently forgotten almost all of it and I haven't done much coding since with the exception of some website maintenance. With that in mind and the fact that the purpose of this ROM is to keep things light and smooth and mostly bug free, know that I'm not going to add a lot of things back in that I've taken out. Christian Troy's CyanogenMod ports are great and probably have anything that you can't find in my ROM.
Thank You
Thanks to Soulflier, Christian Troy and Fards for all their hard work and getting me started. I wouldn't have been able to make my edits and changes without looking at their work or using their scripts to sign/unpack/re-pack/decompile/compile stuff.
Thanks to tigger-gg for helping me learn how to make the compatibility zips, add extra languages and having someone to bounce ideas off of and just being an awesome person.
Thanks to pierwiastekz2 for the default wallpaper designs and working on a new default wallpaper and bootanimation for a future release.
Also thanks to everyone in the community who has found and posted fixes/mods/tweaks in the forums and have made a donation.

Before you flash...
Please read everything and don't ask questions that are already answered in these posts unless you are absolutely stuck. Every question that is asked that is already answered here just takes more time away from actual firmware development and improving this ROM.
All the usually warnings about not being responsible for what you do with your device and what my ROM might do to your device apply.
There is an extended flashing guide at the end of this post for newbies to the world of Android.
Download Links
You can access the folder with all the ROM zips here.
I will be added mirrors soon thanks to mp4 and Android Tablet Firmware's website.
TWRP packages are located here. Thanks to Christian Troy for these. You want to use the one called TWRP-2.3.3.0-hero_0128.rar
The Additional Apps Package is here.
Stock Recovery and Firmware is here. The recovery files are also inside the stock firmware zip files but I'm providing them separately in case you only need the recovery, so you don't need to download the whole firmware package.
Below are explanations of the zip files for the custom ANTI-HERO ROM.
ANTI-HERO v1.5 ROM
The ROM package now also contains the Google Apps package.
Compatibility Zips
As of now there is only the 0128 firmware package. In the future you will need to flash the correct compatibility zip for the firmware you are on or you can update your firmware to a specific version and then flash using that TWRP and compatibility package.
SD Card Swap Zips
There will be SD card swap packages in the future. You can use your external card as your internal card or swap it back to normal. This replaces the vold.stab file that tells the tablet where to mount the sd cards.
Additional Apps Package
Installs to data/app for easy uninstall or market update. Some apps aren't on the market because they are modded or XDA editions.
Fingerprints
Alternative fingerprints are now available. By default the ROM is seen by the Google Play Store as a Nexus 7 for market compatibility. You can go from "Nexus 7 -> SGS3" or "Nexus 7 -> SGT10.1" but you can't go from "SGS3 <-> SGT10.1" because the scripts use 'sed' code to replace specific build.prop lines.
Credit where credit is due
This ROM is rooted by SuperSU v1.25
Although this ROM does not actually contain any of the these packages, it does contain init.d scripting ideas from the following:

Before you flash...
Please read everything and don't ask questions that are already answered in these posts unless you are absolutely stuck. Every question that is asked that is already answered here just takes more time away from actual firmware development and improving this ROM.
All the usually warnings about not being responsible for what you do with your device and what my ROM might do to your device apply.
- You must have already upgraded to the 0128 stock firmware to flash this ROM. Use the official 0128 stock firmware package and recovery to upgrade. DO NOT USE TWRP at this stage! Boot into stock 0128 and then shut down.
- Use the most recent UBIFS version TWRP recovery that Christian Troy made for the 0128 Hero firmware to flash the remaining Anti-Hero files. Anything Anti-Hero related that you flash must be flashed from this recovery or you will end up with a lot of problems because of the messed up way Ainol has been dealing with their bootloaders. Extract the "uImage_recovery" file and place it on your external SD card to boot into TWRP instead of the stock recovery.
- Flash the ANTI-HERO ROM package first.
- Flash the Compatibility zip second.
- Flash the Additional Apps package if you want to.
- There will be SD card switcher packages and other add-ons in the future.
- Reboot - The first boot can take a minute or two so be patient.
