Hi, the one and only thing keeping me from updating to Android 2.0 is that I won't be able to use my Camera. I've seen a lot of rom builders note that these will work as soon as the drivers are provided by HTC.
But what are the odds that HTC is actually going to provide these drivers? From what I've read there is no indication of HTC preparing an Android 2.0 update for the Magic or Dream devices.
Is there really any hope for us?
I think I'll probably give in and get a Nexus One once it's out, unless we get our update (and even then it's tempting).
ive seen a 2.0 rom with cam working... for mytouch/32b/g1 go look at some hero/2.0 roms in Dream dev sectiion
32b, damn.. would those drivers work on 32a as well?
most likely since the camera in 32B/A is the same. the rom itself probably wont work on 32A tho
So if there is a working driver on 2.0, why aren't there any 32A roms supporting it? There's like 5 of them and they all lack camera support..

No roms have cam support for any device, dont listen to the lies.
The mytouch/G1 will recieve up to 2.6 update from Tmo in the Us, which means custom roms will be made that can work on 32A.
Awesome! Thanks for the info.. I hope they will release a 2.0 version sooner rather than later then

The HTC Magic has only been out for 6 months, why do you think HTC would abandon it already? There is every reason to think they will contine updating it for at least another 6 months, if not longer ... they have kept updating the G1 for 18 months, sometimes they are just a bit slow at getting the updates out there. Just be patient people ... they are probably putting out 2.1 rather than getting 2.0 out of the door ... just my 2 cents anyway
what? it looks like a hero rom to me -.- whats the difference

People are talking about Android 2.0 here but the ROM you linked to is a "classic" Hero ROM running on Android 1.5. There aren't any 2.0 ROM with working camera yet.

Hero is just a HTC device which a lot of ROMs use content from, it has nothing to do with the Android version the ROM runs on.
There's HERO roms based on Android 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1..
I really don't understand. Isn't there a full set of tools for decompiling android binary files. Why hasn't the camera driver been decompiled and recompiled for 2.0. What is the hold up. There is a whole group of people doing this and developing the tools for it. I thought this was going to be fix in like 1 day. And we still have no camera. Wake up people.
ok u dont need to laugh and be rude to me jerks.

ooo man i laughed so hard. i havent seen sflpwned in for ever lol!! its ok to be a noob. Ya 2.0 or what everyone is trying to work with now is 2.1 is not just another hero rom or ne thing. its like upgrading from 1.5 cupcake to 1.6 dognut. Dont mean to laugh bro just had to. I am super noob friendly here.

Been looking around to see if anyone has been put 1.6 on the hero, but so far i haven't found anything. Just wondering if its currently even possible. I hate the senseui, so if stock 1.6 is available on cdma hero would be great to know. Thanks in advance.
Ill do ya one better. We dont have 1.6 but we almost have a fully working 2.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593620
I tried and built a 1.6 AOSP and it crashes and burns. The system_server process sigbus with a null pointer exception and crash/loops on my Sprint Hero when it tries to boot up.
Honestly, 1.6 and 2.0 seems "closer together", 1.5 to 1.6 is a much bigger jump. I think Google kinda messed up the versioning there. 1.6 should've been 2.0, and 2.0 be 2.1

Well HTC/Sprint is currently working on 2.1 for the Hero. So I seriously doubt that will happen. But you can always turn off Sense or build you own custom rom without Sense...
I could use any of the ones currently available , but from what ive been told, nothing will be completely compatible just yet. HTC just needs to get in gear, or hire some of the guys here lol. Also heard they got 2.1 running on droid and its amazing, so i guess im just patiently waiting....

Anyone have a friend or family member with a Magic?
I'd be curious to see if there's any new features that could potentially be ported to our Hero.

Looks like they have a pull port of Eclair as well. I bet we could steal their sense for our AOSP builds, problem with that IMHO: Most of the people running AOSP want Vanilla - The push to get it in and working would be minimal. Sense is sadly not as simple as installing an APK.

Why would you want to add Sense to an AOSP build? That's basically your stock ROM minus some of the crap apps crammed on there, which is already available.

Anyway I was asking myself :
Assuming that almost every member/reader of this forum would have tried at least once to install a custom ROM on their Hero, what to expect from the Official 2.1 update ?
Will I be sticking with it ? Will I wait for Villain/Kimera/other ports ? Assuming also that custom Roms will never be 100% stable...
Because from my experience with custom roms (and I've installed A LOT of them on A LOT of devices), it's allways about finding a compromise between speed and stability...
Yep, it's wednesday morning and I really don't wanna get to work...
I think when this 2.1 update comes out (probably won't happen soon, not even friday, as we all know HTC) this only may help custom modders in the stability of their roms, nothing else I'm guessing.
Wouldn't that be the Sprint Hero anyway?

Hmmmm,.... Well I haven't had the experience of swapping and changing ROMs on my Hero,... But having had it for about 2-3 months now, I'm still 100% happy with the speed and stability of the ROM I flashed to it on day 1, ... MCR3.2. I think I'v had 3 or 4 application force closes, and only had it freeze up forcing a re-boot ONCE!!!
I'm sure the custom 2.1's will be just as stable once we get the official ROM to use as a base.

Yes, I would assume so.
I'm not really looking for a more stable 2.1 rom. I just want the speed that is in the 1.5 roms. Since i've heard the 2.1 should be faster the the previous versions I have high hopes får the official release and that the dev can make the most out of it.

So it wouldn't change anything, would it? I mean, don't we already have ROMs made from the Sprint Hero leak?
Hopefully this news would be true. I'm also looking forward to 2.1 rombut not because of its new capability but actually for developers in enhancing making the 2.1 rom using overclocked method

Hope that devs wil make some nice looking and fast rom out of it.

I just really hope the battery life will improve.
Current 2.1 ROMs are already quick and stable enough for me, I wish the battery would last longer though. Aside from that, there are only a few minor bugs in most 2.1 ROMs that are currently out there, which do not really bother me.
Its not the 2.1 ROMS that are the problem its all down to the Kernel,which no1 has!surely if it was coming soon then it would have leaked somehow!

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.
Another thing to, boot up without problems

Yes, it is foolish to ask for a ROM that's meant to run on tablets to be made for phones. But I never have never said and never will say no to a new ROM...
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.
but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner
Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!
no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...
greets Summoner
Can we do something with this?

still, we arent going to have data.
until we get cm ril - and maybe not even then - "ports" to the tbolt are going to be totally worthless.
thats why i havent been too concerned with the sense 3.0 ports. they are cool to play with, but no chance of being a daily driver for a while.

right. why update when they already set the precedent of sticking with the same version till the phone goes EOL? more money for them,
"Oh you just got the brand new Thunderbolt with the CRAZY powerful new snapdragon and 4g? Cool. Running Sense 2.0 right? Nice. New phone coming out next week with the same specs but Sense 3.0. You gonna buy it?"
And since we will never be updated, of course people will go out and buy it. Its the same as the carriers and Google not updating Android versions on older phones, only HTC is even more dickish about it.
