Based on this http://is.gd/54LBP
KingKlick (http://twitter.com/kingklick92) has been tweeting about it and already has a version running on his own phone. He's been sending tweets from the phone so it's obviously working.
PLEASE SHARE!
Ohhh looks great saw da pics of 2,1 acctually running on his hero ....

It's actually not the camera
Does it mean we're gonna get 2.1 very soon?
Can I just point out, this guy says he is testing Hero 2.1 on a G1. Therefore if tested upon a Hero device we may still come across problems of WiFi/trackball/Bluetooth etc. not working.
Well if G1 devs are kind enough to share it yes.
Twitter is alive with talk of the Hero 2.1 rom atm. Lets just hope one of them kind G1 Devs let "LoxDev" have a copy to play with
benocharm got a bite, but I haven't been able to reach him on twitter to pass along the info that I have. My username is jnwhiteh pretty much anywhere, gtalk, gmail, twitter, etc.

Yep I can see that now on twitter....... fingers crossed x
Is this ROM from HTC or something thrown together by other people?
Yeh, I also want more info on this Hero 2.1.
Origin? Leaked?

leak but it is htc based.
The rom comes with HTC applications, while google applications have to be ported
Thanks. Nothing posted seemed to be really clear about that. It seems like there are some conflicting things being said. KingKlick makes it sound good and ready, while Paul O'Brien said that it is nowhere near completion.
This is so exciting!
Btw lol @ people running it on G1 They need to share that sh*t with Lox_dev, not run it on their G1 and say that it's unstable
(@ Lox_dev, I'm still donating should you ever equip 2.1 with vanilla android aps )
Guys just forget about it. The man who has it said he can't share but ota upgrade coming soon according to him.
Seems he can only share it with some G1 devs...................... But they say they can't share it too.

That is so lame, sounds like they actually don't want people with Real Heros having fun , lol.
Should I ever receive a G1 firmware, I hereby promise to only share it with Hero owners
And thanks in a way lox_dev, you working on 2.0 (alpha1) is what made me not go through with swapping my hero for a g1.
But back on the G1 devs not wanting to share the Hero firmware.. that really is a *****-move..

Here it is! Middle of march! Where the f***k is an official update?
HTC is going to get shot because there's another rumor that it won't be out til mid April.

So why don't you put a 2.1 ROM on your phone in the meantime? There are loads of good ROMs recently released that are based on the Eris or Legend dumps. There are also loads of guides on how to root and how to flash. Thats what I've done and I am satisfied.
you didn't actually expect it to come in Mid March did you?
I've learnt to take these things with a pinch of salt, HTC are too busy pushing out new phones to be bothered with us early HTC adopters.
Play with some 2.1 ROMs in the meantime, althought quite why we need so many is beyond me. Devs should combine features instead of competing with each other.

Well yeah actually, the middle of March is the 15th!!! So... HTC have still time to release it, and if they do, then this is a wasted thread!
If you beleive that HTC are really 'playing' with you, then don't bother with your phone, sell it and buy something else... maybe one that never gets updated?!?
Relax and wait for it, I'm sure it will be worth it. There are plenty of 2.1 Roms to try already. We are all eager to see the official release... you're not alone.

I'm using behnaam's latest Legend ROM 1.3.1 and its ok for me at the moment - I haven't found any real bugs that stop me enjoying Android 2.1 until the official release.
But I'm afraid that no matter how much we complain here or to HTC, its not going to change anything. HTC will release the update when it is ready. If they feel a release needs to be delayed they will delay it. Threads like this will not change things.

I think you've answered your own point here:
HTC Sweden that says the Android 2.1 release is not “set in stone” and expect it “around April”
HTC have never set a release date in stone, and so we'll have to wait for them. As I said, no matter how much we complain, it won't change things.
And yes, mods please close this thread, its pointless.

Did you test the 2.1 roms that are out now? They are so much faster than stock 1.5, that's the main reason why I'm looking forward to the official release.
Calm down, they will release an update when finished. I don't think it's HTC who spread news on the Internet. It's people who spread rumors.
I really don't believe all the whining, what the hell?
1) It isn't even 'the middle' of March yet, if you're going to be day exact.
2) if someone _would_ say 'middle of march' I never _ever_ saw people starting to complain the moment the '15th' hit and the promised thing wasn't there. Must be something specific to Hero users I think.
3) The most official statement we ever got (and the only one, forgot all the 'february' crap rumours that started somewhere) said 'in march', not the middle. Regional Director HTC Benelux called it 'medio maart' in dutch, which translates to something like 'somewhere in march'.
I really can't believe the hate posting that starts _every_ _single_ _time_ again, primarily on XDA, but also on HTCPedia and MoDaCo. Do people have nothing better to do than wait for a software for their phones?!?
I just read as I googled "Sprint 2.1 update" I get all kinds of, Sprint releases Moment update 2.1, I thought we were getting the "official bits" first?
Why is it I always pick the phone that takes forever to get anything done on, lol...
Thank God for XDA!
I think you need to re-read your google links, as it was a leak.
Something that we've had a few times now for the 2.1 roms...

That wasn't to you specifically.. Just a joke about the forum.. Don't worry about it.. You can post whatever you want, this place is for you to learn...
All I can say is that it's about damn time. I've been loving 2.1 on my hero for the last couple weeks while my wife's moment has been crying itself to sleep. Looks like they've already rooted it over at SDX, so I'm gonna probably flash that whenever I get home from work.
Of course, what would be *really* nice is if Sprint put out something official for a change.

This is crazy...
Just for you narrow-minded people...
Just because it is not "officially" released on your schedule, doesn't mean anything negative to a company...
Just look at Verizon and the Storm 1.. People kept hounding and hounding Verizon for updates for the phone, but when the update wasn't what they expected, go crazy that they should have done better QA...
It is Sprint's responsibility to make sure all issues are addressed and taken care of... Do you have any idea how many thousands of issues are brought in the testing phase???
Do you know how hard it would be to guarantee a million phones for retail, from a single demo(test) device??

They release software that has no business being in the market place, only to patch it every tuesday when admins like me all over the world find bugs and exploits, and errors and problems.

It'll be out whenever Sprint is ready. It doesn't help that they are dragging their feet, most likely for their proprietary apps. I'm not holding my breath.

We still need source code to get Mic and other things working.
Under their own laws (found in Settings>About Phone>Legal Information), when Google officially releases Froyo for ANY device (Nexus, Droid, G1) they must release the source code. So, once they release a device version of Froyo, they must release Froyo on source.android.com.

Froyo isn't out yet. Google has not released it yet. There were some review units that Google sent Froyo to for review purposes only, but it has not been released to the public. The only reason the public has it is because of these leaks.
I expect Google to have it up as soon as it publicly drops. Now HTC on the other hand...

This is incorrect. The Linux Kernel source is licensed under the GPL which means when you release something that uses it you must release any modifications you made to it. Android however is not licensed under such a license. It is under the Apache license which means any changes that Google, HTC, Cyanogen or any other entity makes to it do not have to be released. Now, Google changing the kernel source, yes that does mean they need to release that. But just that. They will release it all in time though. Should be this week or next week I would assume.

I have no doubt the Evo will get it first. But we still have devs on the board.
Darch has already commited to building an AOSP FrpYp, and there is enough documentation laying around here for anyone with some Linux-Fu to be able to take out our Hero Kernel and drop it into any system dump or boot image and at least make it bootable. Not necessarily 100% functional, but bootable.
I have no doubt that within a few days of Google dropping FroYo source that we have a functional version.
Also, I at this point in time don't care about HTC Sense UI. AOSP is awesome with ADW lancuher. That thing only keeps getting better. He has a build with gesture controls built in coming soon.
The ONLY thing I don't like about AOSP is Exchange emails with more than 1 attachment won't show me the email text...but I think this is just a user error.
For now I have been forwarding the email to my Gmail address to read it.

Yes there is. Start developing. Don't whine that someone else isn't doing the work anymore. Step up to the plate and do the work. I'm sick of people whining about developers moving to different phones and leaving users behind. They're not "leaving users behind", they're moving forward and they owe you nothing. This isn't the Marines. This is technology and business.
Complaining about them upgrading and not working on the ROM for your phone is like complaining that they didn't write ROMs for the G1 or Nexus 1. Should they be forced to buy those phones to develop on? Absolutely not.
Besides those points, your post still contains some ignorance. Damage stated he's not giving up development for the Hero, he's busy getting married this week. TrevE said he's backing away from the Evo for a bit to focus on the Hero. Darch is definitely still around, despite people trying to get him to move to the Evo. Where's the problem?
There's no point in arguing with both of you.for some reason when someone says the word dev you guys start creaming your pants and when the least bit of negative is said you guys go to McDonald's and order a whamburger and French cries. This is the internet morons and both of you need to get off the dev's nut sack and understand that I have an opinion and I'm gonna use it. Now both of you can go hold each other now.

Before I rooted I would read all these posts about how great the roms would be after Sprint released 2.1. So finally I rooted this weekend, and as I look through all the ROMs they all have major issues, and a lot of the major players have moved on to the EVO. So is that it. As soon as 2.1 comes to us we are left with a bunch of roms that don't work any better, or worse, then stock? That is unless I'm willing to cut out all of HTC and Google software.
Please give me advice as to what I do with this rooted phone now.

Not all of the phones have major issues if u read a lot of the roms they tell if they have any. Also there r stock roms that can be overclocked. We've had three or four devs leave to the evo. That not the end of the world plus they left with final full working roms. If ur not happy with something then for it itself or realize nothing is perfect and that these devs spend a lot of there free time cooking there roms and get real tired of hearing people complain about something that us free. Be a little grateful. Read, search, to a little homework and then ask the questions u have inside ur head before u post a dumb question
Look around, no one here is going to hold your hand.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I would chalk up the majority of the "user problems" to user error such as not wiping between flashes or bad 3rd party software with memory leaks or preventing the phone from sleeping...
Sadly a good number of devs went on to the Evo, even worse is some left in the mid of new releases without fixing some bugs.
Even though a couple of the dev's have moved on, there are still some great ones working on the hero. There are at least 6 or 7 fully functioning roms built on 2.1 right now and there's even some movement on 2.2.

As soon as 2.2 is fully functional I'm gonna make a rom of my own with it and I've got my second rom comming soon to 2.1 woohoo lol
Lol, I have been a member here for more then a year, but I don't post because I know what you get here when you post, I had 2 people call my question dumb or call me ungrateful..
Anyways, I was not being mean to the devs. I think their feelings are still intact (those who have not left)
As for reading and searching the forums, which the "positive" posters repeat like a mantra.... well I have been reading, I've been reading like crazy, and All I see are problems with the Roms because no one ever posts positive feedback.
However, I gather from those more productive posts here that the ROMs are very good quality. So from here ill try them out myself, and refrain from posting again for the next year.
Thank you and sorry to all those with tender feelings who where offended by the simplest of posts.
Just an FYI for everyone Fresh just put out a 2.5.2 BETA to donors.
I assume he will leave this one in 100% working order before he dumps the hero for good.
I think he said in the email something along the lines of "last build before FINAL" but don't quote my quote.
I haven't run a damaged ROM in weeks - I went from him to Darch which I feel is the end all.

Just an FYI for everyone Fresh just put out a 2.5.2 BETA to donors.
I assume he will leave this one in 100% working order before he dumps the hero for good.
I think he said in the email something along the lines of "last build before FINAL" but don't quote my quote.
I haven't run a damaged ROM in weeks - I went from him to Darch which I feel is the end all.

Yeah, I'm thinking DarchDroid is the end-all-be-all, especially with Darch and Cyanogen working together to bring CyanogenMod 6 to the Hero.

That is my first rom. Coming next is Red dawn to 2.1 roms. I might convert them over when froyo hits

That's odd. I see people in DamageControl and Darchdroid thanking the devs all the time. I haven't had any major issues at all and very few minor ones.

OK OK, I'm Wrong. You are right. The person who made this thread is a big dummy who didn't read anything at all, and is a fine example of whats wrong with this website and n00bs in general.

Lmao maybe u need a bath to get all the sand out of the unmentionable places lmao
Aloysius 2.1 is rock solid, fast, chocked full of goodies, and did I say, STABLE. Blows any stock Sprint ROM out of the water. DarchDroid 2.7 is good and fast if you like AOSP. And I liked RegawMOD a lot too (use Honeybun OC kernel for extra speed). Plenty of others out there as well. I really liked the Blue ROM but my Hero won't load it. Just try them and quit worrying about it. Use apps2sd and then nandroid and you can go back and forth without losing your apps.

Last build before "FINAL" just means the last non-beta release before an official / final release .
Here are a few quotes from good ol birdman-
KeithBlak Keith Black
@_mrbirdman_ Mr. Sir, everyone has been real quiet about the dX bootloader, and it seems some are giving up. Is there still hope?
_mrbirdman_ Stephen Bird
@KeithBlak There is hope....just you wait and see
_mrbirdman_ Stephen Bird
Im not quitting work on the Dx, I'm just not releasing anything for it until a certain thing gets released.

Many of you were already aware that birdman was up to something interesting. I am posting this to reinforce hope in our small Droid X Community. Good things are just over the horizon.
I just want 2.1 back. I should have read further before stupidly, and blindly, just upgrading to the OTA because I could. I really hope this is what is being worked on.
he is waiting for the 2.2 sbf to modify the bootloader.. but with motorola keeping it close to chest, its hard to get a hold of.. SOMEONE SEND IT TO HIM!!
He tweeted a lone tweet last night, "certain thing". Sounds like he may have obtained the Samuel Bravo Foxtrot! Let's hope for some news soon.

That would be awesome.
What is it that everyone is looking for?? I like the OTA and what I can do with it.
Yeah.. I can't mess with the kernel or bootloader... but I rarely do that anyway. What I do on a normal basis.. can already be done.

Everyone is looking for phone customization. What may be fine for you may not be even close to enough for others.
Does anyone know the IRC channel birdman uses? I would love to offer assistance in the cracking of the bootloader in any way I can...

For the life of me I could not remember "Sierra" - so I went with "Samuel". Sierra Bravo Foxtrot - much better.
As to,
What more customizations could people want?

How about the removal of blur? Or the simple ability to flash a vanilla Android 2.2 the way Google designed it?
Not a biggie foe me- but there is a lot more people could want.

Eh, his point is you can already do that, and in his defense, he is pretty much right. However, we cannot modify the kernel, and thus cannot have a true Rom, this is something I would like to be able to do.
Once the bootloader is unlocked/bypassed we will then be able to have true built from source Rom's/Kernels and unlock the true potential of the DX. Cyanogen has said he will support the Droid X/2 once its unlocked, CCR is already building an AOSP Rom but with the Moto kernel for obvious reasons so there is hope on the horizon. A leak of the "Sierra Bravo Foxtrot" will be found, then the fun begins for everyone as we will all have a way back to safety.

That's what I was looking for.
So to sum it up:
We can already customize the Droid X like any other android phone on the market (remove bloatware, theme frameworks, play with root priveleges, etc)... but some ppl are wanting more.
The ppl that are wanting more... are wanting to get to the brains (kernel & bootloader) so they can build a ROM from scratch, get some CM lovin, TRUE overclocking, BF scheduling, UV'ing, TRUE recovery, etc.
I understand that... and always understood it lol. I just always wondered why I saw so many posts asking for things that can already be done.. and have been.
Not to sound ignorant, but why is the 2.2 SBF so hard to come by?? Dosent every Verizon store in the Nation have the 2.2 SBF file in there tech support department? You think it would of been leaked by now considering the people guarding the worlds secrets are run of the mill, 12 dollers an hour verizon workers in every store you go in

A. most of us work for Flextronics not VZW. B. make a lot more than 12 dollars per hour. C. The SBF is not on any of our PSTs, if it was you would have it.

Motorola has a team searching the intertubes (internet) for any mention of a leaked Sierra Bravo Foxtrot and have had their lawyers send them nice cease emails to both the poster and the fourm owners warning them to remove the links and delete any uploaded software.. I have had 1 thread deleted from here just because i asked for it..
hope that explains it.
edit: I didnt mention this before.. but it was already leaked twice.. and taken down twice.

You'd think it would be on rapidshare or something by now if that was the case. I find it really hard to believe that 2.2 sbf has been leaked at all.
Do a google search for "droid x 2.2 sbf" and look at your first couple hits.. you will see that the moderators have removed the posts because of threats they received from motorola.
as for improving our chances of finding it we need the actual file name..
Get the file name and we have just up'd our chances by 10x.
