Hello all. I am new to this again. I am in the US Army and have been gone a while. I have a Sprint touch diamond and upgraded my rom to the 2.0 version. I am realy interested in an even better rom, possibly with the wm 6.5 that I saw on youtube. Can anyone point me to the correct ROM for my sprint phone? And is there a tutorial for this somewhere? The HTC download was pretty easy, are they all like that? Thanks.
Mainly all of the roms here are for gsm... Here's a similar thread, follow it
thank you...
Hi all.
I'm happily using MoDaCo's mod.
I used to play with the Magic in the past and there is a nice website with a list of the available custom ROM for the G1.
Is there any similar web site for the Hero?
Do the Dream ROMs work on the hero? (n00b question, I do know!)
I think at the moment the only custom ROM available is the Modaco ones. Hence a ROM list isn't really needed as there is only one.
And nope Dream (G1) Rom's don't currently work on the Hero.
Thanks ofr the infos.
As I'm a kind of n00b for this "world", do you have any references to some technical documentation (like boot stack etc)?
... and what about those builds named "RogHero", "JACxHERO" and the likes?
They are still ROMs for the HTC Dream/Magic/Saphire.
Basically if it isn't in this sub-section of the Hero forum then it's not for your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=512
The phone is still very new, give it time and soon more and more people will be developing for it.
Hey All,
I just switched from my HTC Touch PRO to the HTC Hero. I use Sprint as a carrier and I am looking forward to getting used to the Android platform. My phone is running the following rom.
Firmware: 1.5
Baseband: 1.04.01.09.21
Kernel: 2.6.27-533ce29d
Build: 1.29.651.1
Software: 1.29.651.1
Anyhow, I was wondering if I could upgrade to 2.73.405.5 ROM. I know that this is available for Europe but I don't see it for US yet. Is there a big enough difference between ROMs that I would not be able to upgrade?
Thanks for the help in advance and I hope to be able to contribute to the community with so apps.
The problem with having the US version is that it is (correct me if I am wrong) the only CDMA android device so far. Although 1.6 Donut should have CDMA support, it was not included, so they opted to modify 1.5 to make it work. Anyway, the point is this:
1) we will see some official update in the next month or so from Sprint, HTC, or maybe android 1.6 (?)
2) We are all in need of root access to the phone to start getting some cool ROMs, the new radio, wifi-tether, etc

I second both of these I have been reading about problems with this phone and it seems to me that they are all related to the modification of the 1.5 rom to make CDMA work and to get it out to the consumer as soon as possible
Can someone provide me with a Nandroid backup of the Sprint Hero ROM? If so, i'm happy to do a MoDaCo Custom ROM for it?

Have we confirmed whether the kernel vulnerability is fixed on the Sprint Hero?

As has been already stated, chances are if you "upgraded" to an EU ROM your phone wouldn't work any more due to lack of CDMA support in the EU builds.
However, thus far we've no evidence that the Sprint build is a "lower" build than the EU versions, as the build number sequence seems to be totally different. Apparently the Sprint Hero shipped with the Sense UI performance enhancements that we now have in EU 2.73 builds, so it seems to me you're unlikely to gain anything anyway. In fact, you'll just lose stuff like the Sprint specific apps.

hey thers is a new system dump from sprint hero available here....can anyone tell me dat is dat possible for me to flash it on my phone...
http://www.androidspin.com/component/content/article/3-latest-news/169-new-sprint-hero-system-dump
It's almost certainly just a dump of your existing ROM. As the thread you posted suggests, it's for devs only and you shouldn't attempt to flash it.

Dave

Old news I'm afraid! You might like to search before posting!

didn't it just get released today? And yeah search is my friend.... Just didn't see a point to do another search from the one I did yesterday if this thread wasn't updated as I was assuming with the title it would be easier for us sprint users to see this thread is for the cdma version but alas my mistake
I'm on Energy because, well, I can't find another ROM that will work on our HD2's. I've been searching each individual thread to see if the chef has updated for TMobile, but its been a painful task...only to be disappointed.
If this is a useful thread, I'll keep updating this first post with ROM title and link for other TMobile HD2 users.

I was surprised to see this, as I have never been able to see Adobe Flash in the Market; my HeroCDMA is not a supported device. And the websites he goes to in that video don't work as advertised via my phone, either.
What's the deal, here? Flash used to be on the Hero, now it's gone??
this is Hero GSM forum i think.
The CDMA got android 2.2 with sense camera work . Jealous....
Yes , The Hero Gsm is the one which have Flash , but when u rooted and flashed rom , then it gones~ , It comes with the original HTC sense 2.1/1.5rom
It only has Flash Lite.
As others have said. The version of HTC Sense on the GSM Hero has "Flash Lite" baked into it. This will give you access to a few website, but most likely not places like kongregate.
Most custom roms nowadays are based on Cyanogen and "vanilla", lacking any of the features of HTC Sense (including Flash Lite).
With the hero you have a choice:
Official version of Android 2.1 with HTC sense if you want flash (lite!)
OR
Custom roms (Froyo and GB) with performance improvements but no flash.
