Hello,
Does somebody has heard news regarding a Donut update for the Hero? I need a VPN connection to my company.
I have an unrooted Hero upgraded with RUU to the latest ROM.
Thanks
"Donut" has only just been released by Google, and is currently only available for the Dream and the Magic. Importantly, Google was responsible for the OS builds on both of these devices, whereas HTC was responsible for the build on the Hero. There's probably little point trying to ask HTC as the people in "support" don't seem to know much, and at this point no one can even tell us when the Hero kernel source will become available.
My guess is that we'll see the kernel source released long before an HTC Donut release for the Hero. Once we get that I'm sure someone in this community will cook up a Donut ROM for us, again long before HTC does!
Regards,
Dave
hasn't htc already released donut for some developer g1 devices on their webpage?

Yes... for the Dream (aka TMobile G1) and Magic.
Donut on G2 Touch
Apparantly HTC has released a new ROM for the T-Mobile G2 Touch.
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS&tab=2
Can anybody confirm that this is the Donut update for the G2?
No it isn't "new". It's just the T-Mobile UK version of the 2.73 ROM that most of us already have.

Official HTC response
I send an email to the HTC customer desk asking about this, this is the response I got:
"
New Response From [ Pete (Europe Support (Tech)) ]
It will be released at some point yes, but we need to test it and possibly update the applications on
the phone to make sure they work on 1.6 before it is released for the hero. i am sure it won;t be
long.
best regards,
HTC Europe Support
"
So it seems they want to make sure that Sense and their MS Exchange etc integration will work smoothly on donut b4 relasing it to the masses.
That is good news. Apparantly there are some issues with Donut on the G1. A friend of me has a lot of 3G connection problems and can't seem to make a VPN connection to an Astaro firewall.
seeing as the usa sprint hero has 1.6 preloaded i guess it will be here soon for us europeans

People aren't knowing what they are talking about...the Sprint ADP page states that it ships with 1.5...not 1.6.
i picked up the sprint hero today. it shipped with 1.5
well the tattoo comes with 1.6 already installed, so it is feasible that it won't be long. I guess they just have to re-write some of it for the chipset in the hero, cos the tattoo uses a different qualcomm processor.
i really can't imagine it will take too long.
The reason there is a difference in release time is because the G1/Mt3G/G2/Magic, etc are all "with Google" phones while the Hero is a custom Android device from HTC which means we must wait for HTC while those phones get their updates from Google.
According to htc via twitter (http://twitter.com/htc), it says:-
I know many of you want more info on a 1.6 update for the Hero. I unfortunately can't say anything...yet. I will update when I can. Promise!

So, at least something is happening and could be having a rom update with 1.6 rom soon. Fingers cross!

The G2 is a Hero - not a "with Google" phone.
Although it is still not the updating time, at least we will find out when we can get the officail hero 2.1 rom.
Here is the link for this news

Sorry it is in Chinese.
Mod edit:
tweakers is quoting this site:

run it through google if your not dutch
in short, in march the 2.1 update and a pink version of the hero will be coming Feb. 15
also some free widgets from HTC via Android Market like Parkingtimer, Translator and ringtone-widget.
Ran it through google translate and didn't get far, a lot of the page is in flash
What does it say exactly?
What does it say??????????

Probably just old news anyway

Interesting
I've got a feeling it will only be out in April. i think this because HTC are releasing new handsets at the end of march?.. so i think they will only release 2.1 for hero after they are out to stop people taking the cheap way out and just buying a hero with the new software rather than the new handsets maybe??
It is saying that HTC will most probably revealed when Hero can upgrade to And 2.1.
However, they are still unsure whether to let HTC Magic and Tattoo To get the same upgrade.
Rest are mostly users of the 2 not confirmed models users grumbling.

magic geted a new update last days.. 1.5 with sense ...
so if they update the old magic.. i think we will get an update for us hero to...
but.. hey..
they really want old phones with new software? 2.1 ?
i dont think so..
Probably going to be announced in MWC
Rogers Canada have already said that magic users will be getting a 2.1 upgrade. If they get it so will hero owners.
The old donkey and carrot analogy spring to mind as far as updates from HTC go.
I'll believe it when I'm installing it on my phone
2.1 comes in march HTC said in a press report with some new widgets like the Friendstream-widget.

New ROM Hero should be available
According to a Dutch site, Mobilyz.com, the new Hero ROM should be released. The only thing is that I cannot find the ROM.
The article can be found here:

Seems like it's time to choose an unoffcial ROM. Suggestions are welcome folks.
Unfortunately HTC also told us that the Magic won’t be getting an Android 2.1 update.

Roger's spokeperson is on record to saying that the Rogers Magic will be getting 2.1 by mid year.

I am sure that it will, given that various Rogers spoke persons (including RogersMary) have promised this upgrade. Also HTC did say so too: http://androidforums.com/rogers/10647-rogers-dream-1-6-update-23.html#post235970
The only caveat is that it will most likely come with another perfected SPL. As shown with the latest Sense upgrade, it seems no developers are willing to spend time trying to find a way to root the phone once it has the official rom. I advice anyone who has a rooted phone not to upgrade to any future official rom, but wait until a chef provides a rooted version.

We will get 2.1 + Sense UI. If we don't Canadians will probably have an outrage for being lied to again.
This is hear-say, but after visiting the local TMO Store last night, the HTC Rep had come in and said there was going to be an Eclair update for coming at the end of Feb. This was said to be a 2.0 OTA Update and no mentioning of 2.1.
Personally I don't believe that site. Why would htc abandon a product they launched 6 months ago? They kept updating the G1 for over a year.
We know for sure the Hero will get 2.1 (HTC tweeted it today)
http://twitter.com/htc/status/9197263393
They haven't tweeted about the Magic but other news sources have indicated the Magic will receive 2.x in Q2 this year.
If we don't get an official release (which I think is unlikely) then I bet we could use bits from the official rom to improve the existing AOSP roms, since the hardware is so similar.
Lets not get too upset and all go and buy nexus ones just yet ...
Maybe they are talking about the US 32B version of the Magic? Rogers 32A version has almost twice the memory as the 32B.

50% more actually not double.
Again, like I was saying HTC themselves promised Android 2.1 + Sense UI for the Rogers HTC Magic.
At least from that you can expect everyone else with a 32A device to be able to use a cooked ROM based on that official RUU.

hehehe ... was that a serious comment?
Sounds good to me. Time to call retentions and see whats up cause I only extended my phone on the promise of 2.1. If it isn't coming time to get them to cancel my account.
Ah, OK, so it makes sense now. Seems like Rogers 32A will get the update and all the rest with Vodafone 32B will have to start thinking about N1 if we want 2.1....
So sad...
Well not really, when the 32A gets the official update we'll be able to port those builds to the 32B, as they are the same inside apart from the RAM differences. The drivers we need to get eclair running nicely will be in those builds so we have nothing to worry about. The best roms are always on XDA anyway, rather than from the network providers.
Anyway besides all that I still think we'll get an official update for the 32B Magic.
There were a lot of stories at the beginning of this year about the Magic getting Eclair.

hehe Nexus One is a HTC device so "never buying HTC devices again" but "Buying Nexus One" is kinda stupid
Although I must say, I would prefer Nexus One over the Desire just because I know Google will "always" make sure it'll get new software updates and the Desire updates will be postponed just like the Hero ones due to business agreements and SenseUI issues and more...
I have been using Legends n Eris's ROMS ported onto Hero, so far.. But all that I want is a stable 2.1 ROM from HTC.. Instead of releasing new phones like Legend (Which is just a metal upgrade for HTC Hero + 1GHz proc) they should have concentrated on releasing update for Hero which has a large customer base. And I even read somewhere that Both Sprint Hero n GSM Hero have won awards in their respective categories.. This aint happening..

This isn't a press release - it's rumour and supposition, the same as all the rumour threads on this site.
It may well be that the update doesn't come until April, but this poorly written article isn't an official HTC missive and therefore should be treated as hearsay at best and a fabrication at worst.

Latest reply from HTC Customer Care regarding 2.1 Update for HTC Hero
New Response From [ Anthony (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]
Dear Customer,
We understand that now that a phone running Android OS 2.1 is available that you are excited to get an update for your Hero. We are still hard at work building Sense for this new version but we expect to have the upgrade finished and ready to go soon. Please understand that it takes time to customize any Android version to ensure you have the intuitive experience Sense provides, and we hope you can be patient for just a little while longer.

Issue Date & Time
2010/03/17 10:05
I think that HTC should schedule two differents update for each android device, one with clean android OS and optimized drivers focused on specific hardware, and one with optimized senseUI and others HTC customizations... in that case, it could follow OS upgrade very fast and satisfy who want to be updated with OS, and then take all required time to optimize and develop custom UI...
anyway... it is exciting to test and try custom 2.1 roms and the developers here at xda are doing a great work!
but it is also frustrating to wait for HTC official update!
Yeah getting access to a new kernal would be nice
Is this update so important???
We can flash HERO with a good working port rom and we have 2.1
I do not see the problem haha

Sure we have some nice 2.1 roms at the moment but they are inherently buggy with things that will definitely be fixed when we can lay our hands on an official rom things like battery life and 3d graphics.

I've seen that too! I've seen all the threads, and not one of them has an "official" date in it.
The simple fact of the matter is that HTC customer care do not have a clue. Take anything you read as coming from them with a large pinch of salt.
Regardless, this doesn't change the fact that the "press release" you linked to is clearly not an official HTC statement.

What!?
Ok so this has pi**ed me off. I have been waiting for the 2.1 official update to be released now for a LONG time - the issue really is that it was "meant" to come around about now (mid March). It's the fact that it's seeming been pushed back and now artificially put on hold because they don't want to affect the freaking Leg-end. I'd much rather they just announced the update wil be available on a specific date - 23rd July for e.g. and then if it's early its a bonus. They must be aware/accept that Android users are going to be more tech-savvy than most and will therefore not appreciate being jerked around and left in the lurch while users of other Android handsets have 2.1 already and have for a while now = no real technical reason for the delay as far as I'm concerned.
Having said all the above - what do HTC care? If someone from HTC reads these forums then the above is my 2 cents and I think they would create a lot of GOODwill instead of resentment if they were more transparent with their customers. I'm seriously doubting whether to buy HTC or HTC made again because I *like* to be up-to-date with functionalities etc. A platform like Android was *made* to be upgradeable and improved upon and this is a clear case of HTC's beuracracy getting in the way of their customer service. They don't have to do jack sh*t for their customers though because of course once you've bought a phone you're usually locked in - but they sure as hell could learn a thing or two about engendering customer appreciation and loyalty.
So there will be people out there who think "What's the problem?! Your phone runs fine!" Well if you're asking that question then you're probably not reading this forum in the first place because then why would you have any interest in phone OS development and all the joys it brings.
I hope this report is wrong. I hope the ROM comes very soon because I guarantee HTC (not that they care) that delaying it much longer will do quite a lot to put people off their SenseUI phones and HTC in general. Apple is due to release 4.0 soon and Microsoft is about to unleash Winmo7 series so it's not like there's a lack of competition.
You all know what i MEAN - even if i didn't say it right!
I haven't yet found a single 2.1 rom that is stable enough to use daily and that includes my respect and reverence for the talent and hard work that goes into making these cooked roms.
Ola!

Unless they need to make some changes for the hero that we haven't considered?
Can't think what though
What's wrong with 1.5?
Why is everyone so desperate to get 2.1 on their Hero. The 1.5 ROM works very well for me anyway and I don't have any battery or any other problems.
I've tried all the various 2.1 ROMs on this board and while they are very well done I haven't found any to have the battery life of 1.5 so have always reverted back to the shipped ROM.
Now if 1.5 was full of bugs then I could understand all the fuss. As it's not - I can't.
Don't get me wrong I shall upgrade to 2.1 as soon as it's released I just can't understand the rush.
Is there some "must have" facility that I'm missing on the 2.1 ROM?
lots of apps can not run on the 1.5 rom,1.6 rom does not support HSDPA well, meanwhile there is no such official annoucement can confirm whether the magic will be updated to 2.1 or hell not!!!
what the ...!!!
Rogers has long time ago told that their 32A is going to get the 2.1 treatment by mid-summer, and that should quickly give all other rootede 32A an B's the same

Straight from HTC
@xyq105113: Please get your facts straight and your charm polished.
First of all: if you never been promised a 2.1 update for your magic i don't see what this complain is about. What will be next? That you want the 3.0 as soon as that will be released. You can't expect that old hardware will support or get updated software just be happy if you do.
Another thing is: welcome to xda developers who actually makes this update possible for you already unless you got an unhacked spl. If that's your problem then maybe a little research before buying or updating official software would have been a good idea.
My guess is that since HTC already announced update for the Hero and for the Rogers magic it will most probably come to all non-google branded magics.
But again i don't get why everyone got that attitude cause they haven't got any updates for their older mobiles.
There is several reasons for not giving updates to everyone.
1) More sales.
2) Less work making new drivers
3) Less support cases cause of people who can't figure out how to update.
4) Less phone replaced cause of people ****ing up under update.
5) Did i mention more sales ?

thank u for explaining, but there are still several bugs in those roms, right?
Plus since magic been published did htc ever update our magic once? Even Tatto have its 1.6 sense UI rom, why not update our magic, due to magic is still for sell, it seems no reason not to update magic. What I want is just a official 2.1 rom for my magic after this long time since 2.1 been published.
P.S. I do not consider my magic as a too old hardware to be updated, my BB 8320 still get new roms........

Plus since magic been published did htc ever update our magic once? Even Tatto have its 1.6 sense UI rom, why not update our magic, due to magic is still for sell, it seems no reason not to update magic. What I want is just a official 2.1 rom for my magic after this long time since 2.1 been published.
P.S. I do not consider my magic as a too old hardware to be updated, my BB 8320 still get new roms........

Many countries got an update for their magic just not an android update but update with Sense and Android market for those without. Think we all would love an official update with the new Sense and Android 2.1 for easy rom cooking to Magic. But i would think twice before updating the RUU if it comes, cause it might be impossible for root it for a while after if it will ever be possible after that update. I wouldn't consider it old yet either and hoping for the update as well. But i'm just happy that i got xda where i can get most of the things i need. But the mobile industry is moving really fast at the moment and i think that HTC decided to put focus on getting market share instead of pleasing their existing customers. Then we can discuss what the smartest move is in this case, but somehow i think HTC know what they are doing at the moment. But again i actually think that non-google branded HTC magics might get the update now that its official that Hero and Rogers magic does, cause with that done it wont require much work to release it for the rest of us.
But maybe they wont cause of the reasons i mentioned last post for not giving us the update. For now we can only hope, and enjoy the work the developers does for us to make it possible to have a good and stable HTC sense rom running Android 2.1

All US android phones to receive android 2.1.
HSPA has nothing to do with ROM version. It's a setting in build.prop. I have HSDPA and HSUPA working on Donut, as do many other people. It's on by default in CyanogenMod and probably some others.
Look in this thread for how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595108
are we another day closer to 2.1?
