Is it possible to get android 2.0 on your HTC Hero on the Sprint Network. If so, could you give instructions on how I'm not all that technically advanced, any help would be much appreciated.

there is a mostly working 2.1 on here in the stickys ant the top on the forum as well as an ASOP 2.0 build but I would give it a few days to a week and now that the kernel source has been released the great devs here should have a fully working build very soon.
Thanks alot, is there much of a risk doing that?
No, Sprint has not release a newer version of Android for the Hero than 1.5.

As long as you flash a CDMA Hero ROM & install the custom recovery image, there isn't much risk.
Sprint has not released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet and does not have any confirmed date on when it will be available.
The devs here have several 2.x ROMS with partial functionality, and instructions on how to root your phone and flash them are usually on the first page of their respective threads. Also, check the wiki at the top. It's new and needs a little polish, but it's a repository for all ROMS and guides you'll need.
HTC just released the source code for the CDMA kernel, and with that the devs here should have a fully functional 2.x ROM soon.

This is the 2.1 Beta. But yeah just like wtphoto said. Give it some time before it gets fully furnished for day to day use.
Only if you can't follow VERY simple instructions
call me stupid, what is flashing? Like you said as long as i flash my hero

Flashing is installing different core software or firmware on the phone.

click the links on my previous post to read what you need to do.
PLEASE read everything, then re-read it , then read it while you are doing it. there have been many people that have not done so and bricked thier phones
as the old adage goes measure twice cut once.
as far as flash the stock ROM allows flash, that being said there are some file formats that it wont play but for the most part its pretty good.
*edit*
Sorry wrong thread

I was wondering why its been so quite after HTC released the new kernel for the Sprint Hero, I thought that was the missing link that was needed for complete 1.6/2.0/2.1 roms?
It hasn't been quiet.
Also the kernel that HTC released needs to be ported to 2.6.29 to fully work with 1.6+.
All this info is on the forum & easily obtainable.

I just thought we would see some 1.6/2.0/2.1 releases now that the kernel was released, that's all
There's been 1.6+ releases for a while...
Let me elaborate a little here:
This kernel that was released is not a magic bullet, it allows us to see what code needs to be changed to get the correct Kernel to run these newer versions. It also lets us make any performance changes we can find.
All of the changes need to be put into the current kernel source,making it a .29 or whatever we need.
It has been fairly quite, we aren't seeing tons of Roms being thrown out to the market, thankfully. Our devs are taking all the time they need to make sure everything works and is stable. We should see some big stuff happen in the next week or so.

Good to know, I guess I'm like a kid in the candy store, thanks for educating me on the kernel process.
Modaco's 2.2 has the customized kernel in it now.. read the front page of the Hero forum for the link..
its very nice..

Yea that's what I'm rocking right now, I'm just impatient for a fully funcional newer OS
I stumbled upon an article linking to a download to the Gingerbread "beta" for Evo and I'm wondering:
What would happen to my current roms if I actually flashed the update? (using CM 6 and Fresh 3.4.0.1)
Is there potential to completely brick the phone to the point I won't even be able to get into the recovery to get back to a functional rom?
Its not beta. More like a "dev only" or alpha. Its in the dev forum. It wont brick your phone but It could give you some headaches if your new at flashing roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
it is very choppy on my phone, like 5fps choppy.
but text and web browsing worked, along with the market.
however couldn't check gmail, id click on the email and it'd open than go back to the menu right away
Is the flashing process any different than simply selecting the .zip file from clockwork, or do I need to name it update or PC36IMG?
or would it be similar to the headaches received from not wiping the data and cache to load CM 6.1 "stable"?
What exactly are you hoping to accomplish any way? The rom is purely in developmental stages right now and should in no way be used as your primary rom. It's literally going to suck. Performance is NOT there right now. Given the questions you're asking in this thread it's highly unlikely you're going to be loading this rom and helping to improve it by developing it further...
a 2.3 based rom for the Evo intended for the "end user" is likely not going to be ready for you until the source is released for 2.3.
I just saw this posted, not sure if it could be of any help to those that "were" working on the sdk port. I say were because the thread was just closed.

You are mistaken at what that rom is. It is a froyo rom for the Droid X with the gingerbread keyboard and theme.
The numbering convention for the Droid X firmwares just happen to be at 2.3.x right now which is probably confusing you. If you actually go the thread dedicated to that rom you will see: http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...x-1-3-0-droid-x-running-running-fast-can.html

What was/is mis-leading is they are calling it "unofficial Gingerbread port" when they should have called it a rom with a ported theme & keyboard. They never mentioned the version # so I wasn't looking at that. Thanks for the clarification. ... Android Central>
That is a very mis-leading title.

Hey guys I just got a HD2 and ive messed around with them before but I'd like to know the most stable and up 2 date android build that people are running with htc sense on the hd2? ive looked around and there seems to be so many and so much info im getting lost on what build is best and where to go with it.. so if you know the best MOST STABLE UP TO DATE BUILD with HTC sense please send me in the right direction thanks!
Everyone has different experiences and expectations, so the only person that can answer that question is you. You just need to try some of the latest builds that are available and that suit your needs.
so far, I make my own mix from base builds and I find it stable. everything works.
how do i know what the latest build is or what the most stable is and where do i find it?

If you want to run Android from your SD card and keep Windows, go here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
If you want to flash Android to the phone so that it removes Windows, go here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928
The builds/ROMs are all dated, so you can tell when they were made.
ALL the information you need about running Android can be found in those forums. Make sure you read the stickied threads at the top of the forums for information.
I have no idea why nobody will help you, I mean there is plenty of stickies/guides they could look for, and search function they could use to do teh work for you, plus everything is date and organised but... meh.
Anyway, I find this site to be more help as it lists everything step by step and keeps track of all the most stable builds for you, its honestly the best place to start before you jump in.

every board seems to have its smartass
is it hard to say this is the newest most stable up 2 date build that has android and sense? and am i right from what i understand any windows mobile rom 3.14.531.1 and radio 2.15.50.14 work with any of them so all i have to do is drop the files on the sd card and run the 2 files?

Indeed, and for every one smartass there are 100 people who come on ask a question that has been asked a MILLION times and expect to get straight answers!!
a) SEARCH
b) READ
c) LEARN
d) TRY
Your question has been asked a million times so there is no need to ask it again, just read the answers that have already been provided. Plus the answer to the question is subjective so you will not get a real answer because what will be stable for one person may not be stable for you.

Then go try some Desire HD or Z builds
The build that I am using is been very stable. Info is in my signature. It is a desire hd based Android sense Rom that runs via the SD card.
For initial set up I would stick with SD card or RAM builds as you can mess things up in nand builds and its a tedious process to get back to original settings. With SD card based builds if you don't like something then copy paste is all that's needed to get ur old settings.
For a guide to set it up look in the link in my signature

hey guyz finally managed to custom update my nexus with Markdenver's Nexus One Stock 2.3.4 i was now just wondering can you install the htc sense add on separately or do i have to install a ROM with the sense. also if this is possible can you point me in the right direction thanks
Haven't heard of Mark Denver or the term sense "add-on"
But,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995445
Awesome rom, OP page flash instructions and complete/multiple system/data wipes critical
well, mark denver has released a tweaked 2.3.4 and its currently posted on this forom in development section, and i was asking if a external htc sense ui launcher could be installed to a rooted device, because i like the rom but want sense also, thats why i asked if a add on like app existed... ?
Gotcha
Use predominately 3 roms so don't pay close attn to all the roms on that thread
Understand what you are asking now and don't know, sorry
Did you ask the question in Denver's thead, assume so

No, you have to flash the whole sense rom.

well,
that's what I thought--but you never know
didn't think that question would fly well on his thread, but as above you never know till you ask
good luck

Any idea if lineage is working on anything for the bolt?
I'm about to attempt to build lineage for the Bolt sometime this week.
I wanted to port over ubuntu touch but since there isn't even a lineage port to begin with, I might as well start one. It doesn't look too hard, it's just sitting the time aside and having patience. Plus school can be a time consumer itself.
Just wanted to post an Update on porting the Bolt:
Uh, where do we begin? Lol. I can't find any source code for the device. Not sure if I need it, I'm thinking I might be able to use the existing kernel since it shipped with 7.x. I mean, I finally got a Environment set up to port it over but I'm not even sure where to go from here. Nobody seems to want to help, either. So, I'll keep poking around until I find something. Will be emailing HTC about the kernel source a little later today.
Cool i can test things

So all went well but it was a big let down because I sort of expected the same sundream experience or better that I had on my m8.
It was pretty close to sense stock, it was snappy but not notably snappier than stock, I'll miss the not bar icons but that's about it.....
the audio also suffered a hit on the head phones and that's what dd it 4 me 3 hours into the rom...
Xept for the usual rom mods I really needed soft nav buttons and status bar internet speeds ...thanks though it ported and worked seamlessy
.please link me to any other roms I can try lineage, aokp, dirty unicorns, I'm up to my head in research I've looked
