Rooted Hero's already have froyo, who cares about what htc wanna do or not.
They dont care about you.
HTC have confirmed their list of already released phones that will run on froyo, and the hero was not on it.
Simply because froyo requires better hardware than the hero has (although further to the above post we have custom 2.2 roms already for hero and they work almost perfect (few little issues that will be fixed soon).

lol you don't really know what you are talking about, do you?
hero is promised to get the 2.1 update, questions is when. eclair is the "nickname" of android 2.1, it has nothing to do with the nexus. and the nexus rom will never work on the hero.
Where is the promise? Can you link to an official statement (not from some blog, rumor spreading tech-site) from HTC? HTC once had semi-promises on their twitter... but they have since deleted their messages there.
Even the source of the announcement that it comes in June is obscure and I don't consider it an official statement.
I actually don't believe that there will be an upgrade anymore.

Assuming that the Desire gets fully rooted, and once HTC releases the Desire kernel source, I'd imagine that porting Nexus One ROMs onto a Desire would be relatively trivial since so much of the hardware is shared.

Look like there Aria will have 2.2 and Flash 10

Froyo isn't available officially for anyone yet, except for a select few Nexus one users.
I can't wait to see it in action!
Hello,
HTC announced that they'll release froyo with HTC sense for the HTC Wildfire. When and IF they do that.. could we port it to Hero? It's basically the same device. Only thing that changes is the screen.
And the resolution is a very difficult thing to fix. You have to edit every graphic to fit and tonnes of other things. Just wait and one of the dev's will find the best rom for it (probably before it is even announced).
I think the dev's are waiting for a Legend 2.2 ROM, since it has the same resolution as the Hero. The processor is slightly different though I believe.
HTC's official legend froyo images etc. + HTC's official wildfire Procesor drivers etc. for Froyo = almost perfect Hero ROM
i hope i got my maths right there
Heh. I asked HTC why they are developing a rom for Wildfire and not for Hero. Still waiting for their answer.

Isn't the wildfire still an ARMv7 chip ie. Cortex?
Or am I just getting confused with things?
wildfire uses the same chip as the hero.
it has more ram though.
Is there any chance we could port the new 2.1 Sense UI that Wildfire uses to Hero? The new HTC Dialer and stuff.

I don't think so since the Wildfire has a lower resolution so it would be difficult. Maybe it will be included in the Legend's Froyo ROM?
Maybe it will. Can't wait for a Sense Froyo Rom.
Agreed. I'd love Froyo with Sense on my Hero
whats stopping the devs from doing it cant you just change the fw images add com.htc.recources.apk and rosie.apk and all other htc things and libs etc???? ima try tht actualy

Hmmm. I thought the libs for it were incompatible?
Sense with froyo for Hero
Hi all,
But i have one idea : Is it possible to take sense from the official HTC 2.1 Rom and to put it on Froydvillain ?
What do you think about that ?

Nah, the frameworks wouldn't be compatible.
ok, thanks. Now i know !
So with T-Mobile releasing Froyo for Magic, is there an official Froyo update for ADP2 (Google Ion) from Google or HTC? Should one be expected?
Post removed by me
If you mean semi-officialy, there will soon. As you've deduced, the Mt3G is a rebranded magic, just like your ION. We're just waiting for someone to dump the ROM, so it can be packaged up ready to flash. You'll need root for that of course.
The Froyo source code has been out for a few months, so you could have installed Froyo ages ago. I'm currently using a community build on my magic, but I'm going to flash Tmo's build just to see if they've changed anything.
Personally I don't see Google or HTC releasing Froyo officially fo the ION. If they were going to they would have done ages ago. So if you want 2.2 you're going to have to flash a custom ROM.

You dun make no sense.
Oh, I've been running CM6 on it for a while, I was wondering about update coming from either Google and/or HTC (just as I have posted).
PS. My Ion came with Eng SPL and rooted -- there was no need to do anything to flash any of the community ROMs.

I should have read between the lines
It's just a matter of time before tmo's build gets dumped. Either way, it will be a lot better than *shudder* CM6.

Tmobiles version is going to run decent, but only because its missing a lot of features that you would find on newer phones running froyo. The hardware is just not there to run full froyo.

So do you happen to have a list of what exactly is going to be missing?

Better how???? Blasphemy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cyanogen did exactly what everyone wanted him to do. Bring froyo to the g1/mytouch. He busted his ass to bring u almost all of the features that froyo brought to the n1. Tmobiles version is going to run decent, but only because its missing a lot of features that you would find on newer phones running froyo. The hardware is just not there to run full froyo.

CM6 runs like crap, lets face it, standard AOSP runs way faster.

CM6 doesn't " run like crap ", there is some things that we would like for it to have but 2.2 to g1's and Mytouch's was completely out of reach and Cyanogen gave it to us and remember that it's only 6.0, there will be more releases. Partition your SD Card the right way and maybe it wouldn't run like crap for you... maybe. I'm not sayin' I'm just sayin'.
And lets not forget Cyan gave us 2.1 and T-mobile NEVER acknowledged it.

Each to their own, I guess. In my experience it's slow and straight-up AOSP is way faster. Partition how? I don't need ext, swap is a con, really.
Ok, its one thing to stand up for CM6 another to blindly nut hug.
CM6 sucked....
Not only did i ditch CM6 for Biffmod, i ditched all root for 1.6 and im loving it.
CM6 could never keep a single thing opened.
Yes, i had my card paritioned right, yes i had custom MTD partitions for massive internal memory, yes i used firerats swap patch for CM6 and swap option in Biffmod, NO nothing would stay open.
I recently saw this.
Don't the Legend and Aria share some of the same hardware/kernels?
Could this mean something? Or does it matter at all?

I don't think it matters at this point. The Gratia is identical to the Aria (more so than the Legend) and the Froyo 2.2 ROM for it has already been leaked and is what FRXX Liberated ROM is based on.
