1.6 on hero

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

That was funny.

lol took me awhile to get it that one........
And thanks for the quick answer. Looks like im gonna have to wait for HTC. They should just make a working rom for cdma hero's just running 1.6 for those of us who could care less about sense ui.

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....

What HTC needs to do is just release the source for our phone & all our problems will be solved.

That would be a great idea. We could have it done by Christmas lol.

HTC Magic official ROM update with Sense Released... Anything new?

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.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htc-magics-sense-update-ready-for-download

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.

Anyone know what version of Android this is? The magic has Donut, right?

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.

I was wondering the same thing when I saw this on Engadget this morning, what version of Android is the MyTouch running, I thought I remember hearing that it was on 1.6.

It is 1.6.
My co-worker has one and likes to remind of the fact that it came pre-installed on his MyTouch.
EDIT: Correction, he got it OTA. I'm running AOSP1.6 now anyway so... screw him!

so can we downloaded already? its for the hero? whats new?

no offense to any of the other devs on here but we need his contributions. i bet 2.1 would be even 10x better with a custom kernel from him.

What do kernels do?

I miss him too. Seems like an all around great guy.

+1 he helped me quit a bit when i first bought my hero.

He stopped customizing because someone used his Gumbo ROM name in their own that included some paid apps

yeah i remember that. same happened with damage, or something similar.

Hate to break it to you guys, but he ain't coming back to XDA. And he ain't releasing anything he does build...at least not under his own name.
I don't want to be blunt, but give it up.
Until this forum grows up about 25 years...at least as far as mentality is concerned, we won't see him producing anything publicly again. Even then, at this point in time he has been way to jaded to care. Either that or he has bought an EVO.
Dude is smart, it's ashame it was ruined for the community as a whole. That Gumbo ROM was the ****.

Hes around. Over at AC:

awesome, good to know he is still developing.

gbhil still owns a hero

He's very much active at Android Central. In fact, he released a 2.1 with his own custom kernel. Im using it now and its ****ing FAST!
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9522-sprint-2-1-leak.html

Unfortunately, good as he is, he can't do anything with the functional kernel for 2.1..it's .29 and has not been released (or even leaked as far as I know, or we'd have much more customized ROMs).
The guy's amazing, no doubt about it. But as far as customizing kernels he can only deal with what he has to work with.

Kernels are the operating systems themselves. In Android, the core operating system is Linux. A kernel controls all low-level operations of the device, whether it is a computer or a phone. Without a kernel, you have a paperweight.
Even Windows has a kernel (in NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7 it is NT Kernel...for 95, 98 and Me, it the 9x kernel).
In MacOS X, the kernel is Darwin (based on BSD).

Besides Google, does any of the HTC phones actually have a 2.6.29 source (Donut or Eclair)?

But I actually WANT HTC Stock Apps...

Hi All,
I'm running Senseless / Cyanogen V1 and I really want some of my stock HTC Apps back. I'm talking Browser, Camera, People, etc.
Can anyone help? I know it's not as simple as dropping a APK and installing.
Thanks.

ok first
why not post this in the acuall forum for this rom?
seconds if you read the whole first post, theres a download apps.zip u flash after the install of it. to get them back.

You are referring to the Sense UI. You must choose a rom that keeps the Sense UI that the Eris comes with.
The Sense-able or Evil Eris roms are ideal, but the Senseless and Cyanogen roms do not include it.
This is the fundamental debate on roms - Sense or No-Sense...

Whoa partner, slow your roll with the hash comments. No need for negativity toward the hard work done by some great devs!
Plus, you are missing the point. The many helpful devs posting above ^ have stated that you cannot install the Sense components onto a non Sense based rom. It just won't happen...

Okay, I apologize if I have offended anyone with my "blue" comment, but personally I enjoy the natural green glow of the android.
Okay, thanks for the clarification. I just wish there was somehow a ROM with everything I want.

there are alot of good sense based roms out there...you just need to use one of those ....and if you are not fond of the colors ...try using a theme to change it up....

other sense based roms (that i can think of right now)
senseable
evil eris
aloysius (very themeable)
kaoslegendary
ivans official
ZenExp (very nice build)
and more ...
I have used a few of these for long periods of time

No sense widgets exactly, but you can grab Beautiful Widgets from the Market which are pretty as well.

I think Beautiful Widgets was actuall y the first thing I paid for on android

I used them before back when I first got my phone. They really seemed to lag me up. I might give them a shot again when I install White Widow/Senseless.

well ive tried just grabbing the rosie from zenxp and evil eris 2.0-both have espresso rosie-but since the one from zenxp isnt deodexed it wont run and the one from evil eris looks weird as hell when i throw it on.
comparing didnt work either, i think theres something in the xml files i need to carry over as well but im not sure

I wasn't aware EE was espresso, are you trying to get it to work on your WW or do you have some other project? O anyways welcome back.

Confirmed to work on Ivan's Eris Rom as long as you convert the theme to use with the newer version of Metamorph. I had problems using it with the older version for some reason.
