Hi,
I just bought a HTC hero just today and i notice that i dont have android app store but i have something called SlideME how do i get android app store on my htc hero and also my phone has 1.5 firmware version and i want to know how i can update ? to the latest ?
please help me thank you
Hi, The app store you refers to are called "Market" in Android. When the upgrade is ready for your country depends. Heard Scandinavian countries, Russia and a few others will get the upgrade at 2nd April.
Why doesnt my htc hero not have android market !
Hi,
I just want to know is it normal to not have android market on my htc hero ? because i don't have android market on my phone instead i have SlideME And my phone is from Asia does it still get any update ? thank you
Hi,This is the same thing which happened to me. I live in the usa. I bought a Unlocked hero, without Market. But with Slideme. What you have to do,in order to get the market app, is to flash your phone,with another generic ROM that has market. Or you can Root the HEro and Update it with a Custom ROM.My hero is unlocked,I have flashed it numerous times with different types of ROM,it does not effect the unlock,But I would recommend updating the radio,if it is not already
To: Starscrean
Hey Starscrean did you flash your phone to the generic htc hero ROM ? Because i want the generic htc hero ROM if you did can you tell me how to flash my phone or where you got your information from. and can you tell me what "updating the radio" mean
Because that would be helpful thank you
xda forums have a long list of instructions on how to flash the rom. You should need to root ur phone first. Go under the q&a and android development in the forum under htc hero. The stickies are really useful. I think the the unlockr has a good guide how to root and flash a rom. Im am pretty new at this as well but i manage to come out ok..should be fine as long as you do your homework and NOT flash the wrong roms!!!

Hi guys,
I was wondering if I could update the software (cupcake 1.5) of my HTC magic to the one on the HTC Hero. My girlfriend has it and she's always pushing me around because her's look more 'fancy'.
I looked it up on the net but couldn't find anything right away. I even checked youtube and I saw some people running the HTC hero rom (most likely another name but I'm new to this Android thing).
Thanks in advance, Skillandstyle!
There is donut roms for magic. Just check the dev section under magic.
i thought the htc magic had the official sense ui update?
MLIGN made a tut. about it on his website or you can root your phone and try out a hero rom.
hi guys,
I went to a store and tried out the htc desire and somehow I can't find plurk on the friend stream.
So I did some research and found out that in one of the updates (the one I have found about HTC Hero updating to 2.1 offical rom) plurk is no longer supported.
so I am asking you guys if there are any ways to get it back?
Also, another question is, if I rooted my desire, does that mean the friend stream would be gone too? Any good apps can replace that?
Thanks for reading guys!
Taiwan version still support Plurk. They remove it from other versions because there are not many people use Plurk.

No you would not loose Friend Stream if you rooted the phone and as long as you flashed it with a rom that had sense. Also the new Froyo 2.2 sense rom's support plurk on Friend Stream.
Hope this helps.
Hadn't even heard of Plurk until this ROM came about...
Hi guys ,
Well i bought my HTC hero on eBay like many others it did not come with android market would the new HTC hero 2.1 update give me android market ?
Should i update my phone? or should i flash my phone to a custom ROM to guarantee a android market in my phone? Don't know what to do please help.
Cheers, and many thank you
I recommend flashing a custom ROM (following the guides on xda) If you update to the official 2.1 from HTC you won't be able to root or have a custom ROM (at least for quite a while anyway).
Now i'm going to guess the next question would what ROM do you recommend and all I can say is I use VillainROM 10.3, its all I've ever used and I like it
hi, one question, recently aquired an Htc Legend from Spain and unlocked it because i use a Orange service, and after so many rom`s on this forum, i just prefer ro root it to the official one the one with, posibility for an oficial froyo update, the unbranded untampered out of the htc factory with htc sense, any ideea witch one that might be, i know i`m a newbie at this but i cant seem ti locate it alone using serch
Sorry but what is it that you're asking?
He's asking for the latest official HTC ROM that's unbranded and untampered, as he can't find it through the search function.
is it this?

I believe you are looking for this?

This is nearly stock, but rooted and unbranded ROM. Not sure if this one gets FOTA though.
seee, this is what i`m talking about isn`t there a clean rom for the legend the one that works 100% as it should not, the rom that comes with the legend that you buy from htc not a service operator, the more i read on each rom people say that this one is for faster web, upgradable but no sense, works perfect but no gps suport, these are the trates of a custom one,
I really apreciate the effort but that isn`t the one i`m looking for, saw that one thow.
If i root my phone will it affect the posibility of an update to Froyo OTA?
Ah, so you want the latest official ROM without rooting?
Well, if you're currently on a firmware lower than 2.03 then go grab the RUU for that ROM on shipped ROMs
Thank-you finally some enlightment
hi friends,
i have a htc magic(stc saudiarabia ) with version 2.56.415.5
the phone doesn't have android market in it....
is it need to update the rom for to get???
pls help me
thanks in advance
This does not look like the correct forum for this question brother...
But anyway, let me try to answer your question. I do not know your case exactly, but I have seen other examples with different android devices. One of my friends has a Samsung Galaxy S with only Samsung Apps and no Market installed for instace.
You can fix the issue either by installing the android Market application (search the forum), or better flash a different official/unoficial ROM.
Good luck!
