Here is a video of htc hero with the latest rom on the htc eris hero is a villain video of Rom

Yeah right, another video of the same custom rom (there are like ... endless amounts of those droid eris leak videos). Would you people at least show new features? No, it's not a new feature if it was shown by all the other videos already. I know what the pinch homescreen leep whatever thing looks like, everyone does. More important are the features inside. Does it have a proper VPN client to connect to professional VPN networks? Are the bugs in the browser solved (You couldn't actually select and copy with the trackball in the 1.5 Senseui)? What about the new features there... selecting words to translate? Any new languages/input systems?
Man, really. Why do people make those crappy videos that don't contain anything new. And why do you post that here?
For me, I would like to know how WPA2-Enterprise and certificates work in 2.1
I know HTC implemented some form of WPA2-Enterprise in Hero, but I couldn't get it to install *.ca or *.cer certificates (Android 1.5 doesn't originally support WPA2-Enterprise)
Also, are there any new widgets?
I heard there's supposed to be new twitter client
GRemote Pro should also work through bluetooth on Android 2.0 and higher
In regards to the new update, I have a few questions about it. Can anyone who has the ROM help?
1. Is the option to send text via speech present?
2. Are live wallpapers included?
3. Does the Hero support Bluetooth file transfer?
4. Is the 3D gallery present or have HTC skinned it with their version?
Ta!
1. I don't know if this function is available in the stock messaging app, but a lot of people (including myself) use Handcent SMS, which has this feature and it works even in cupcake.
2. Some of the ROMs have Live Wallpapers, some don't. From what I've heard, you can expect this feature to be buggy. Someone may have it working perfectly by now though, I'm not sure.
3. Yes, in the 2.1 ROMs it does. I've heard that it works well, although I can't test it, as I've lost my BT dongle for my PC.
4. Different ROMs will include different apps. I think (but may be wrong) that the VilllianROM has the 3D Gallery.

To add to these points:
2. Live wallpapers probably won't be supported on a Hero officially - they can be a drag on resources. I've seen the video for the HTC Desire, and Live Wallpapers is obviously on the N1 - but both have the Snapdragon processor. I haven't seen any full live wallpapers working within the HTC Sense environment for the leaked 2.1 stuff. That said, I think the "Weather" display is a Live Wallpaper of sorts.
4. 3D Gallery is available within VillainROM but it is buggy - the embedded CoolIris technology doesn't play nicely with re-orienting to and from landscape. That is to be expected as these 2.1 ROMs are based on leaked code. It should be fixed WHEN HTC release an official ROM for the Hero.
Will the 2.1 OS give the VGA 30fps capability for the Hero like on Legend?
same questions. is it possible that 2.1 will allow vga 30fps quality video improvement or is this a hw limitation? hero video is god awful. it's hard to believe a 2009 phone can have such a low resolution camcorder functionality that compares w/ my 2003 SDA in pq.
Hello
What are the benefits of flashing the N1 with the Desire ROM apart SENSE?
-Can you use HTC PC suite to sync outlook contacts??
-Is the ringtone volume much louder
-HTC Weather app works perfectly?
Well the benefit is Sense. Without sense the rom is the same
except the modified apps (by HTC)
After installing desire ROM will your PC see the phone as Desire and so use HTC Pc tools to sync with outlook?
Hi.
How do i make the emulator go low resolution.
I am especially thinking if its possible to emulate the Htc Tattoo click or X10 mini
I want my app to work on all phones, so how can i test it on a tattoo for instance.
Thank you
Solution:
Choose QVGA in the default dropdown box

It might be a stupid thread and stupid question and I believe the ANSWER of it might be …… it will never happen.
BUT
Is it possible? Can it be?
I am not a good fan of Android as I had a lot of problem with Nexus one,
I have been using windows mobile since ages, my first was the IPAQ, Imate PDA2K, HTC cruse, Diamond, HD (BlackStone) and Nexus one < --- just to test Android
I might be wrong judging the Android but here are my notes:
- No X button to close the applications so they just keep running in the background
- No file browser
- It was hard to make it run the WMV and still not good
- I understand in the WM 6.5 no Transcriber and block recognizer, but I think it can be managed
- No today desktop to be customized as I like to see my task and calendar
- Office is not there the way you want
And many manay other issues
Well sorry for the (too much writing) but maybe I could get some help here or people might enlighten me
THX
Honestly I have no idea how to install Wm on that phone...and I would never want to if I were yu...but ur issues don't seem to lye with android...yu just need to do some market browsing because there is a program called advanced task killer that kills apps in the background..it also has a nifty little home widget...yu can also download astro file explorer to search files on ur phone...just like in wm ...there are apps and Widgets for all the issues yu stated...the best advice I can give tho is that if yu want a wm phone...then buy one...hold out for the hd7 and see if someone might trade yu for ur desire HD...hope I've helped..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Thanks for the answer and as I said I already knew it will not be possible, HD with WM7 is close to android, no today screen and it is almost Iphone, I might sound old fashion but I believe it is hard to change things you got used to
I am a Linux user too (Ubuntu Lucid) is what I am using, I believe I will give Desire HD a try and see, maybe I might be able to find a way to install WM on it maybe I give Android a better look and see what it has.

1. No, there is no "X" button, but Android's memory management is clever enough that you don't need one.
2. There are plenty of file browsers available on the Marketplace
3. I assume you mean .wmv videos? Not sure on this one.
4. Not sure about this
5. You can get all manner of widgets for Android that show calendars and you can get task managers etc.
6. No, office isn't perfect, but it's getting better.
If all of this is really a concern for you - why not just get an HD2? It's the same screen size and most of the same features (give or take megapixels, DLNA and a couple of bits and pieces here and there). At least then you can run WM6.5 as default and toy with the Android port which is developing really well in the meantime.
Don't want you to hate me guys BUT i did use the HD2, and here are my notes:
-Battery runs out fast
-don't like the new start menu
-no pen comes with it (i understand that all new HTC don't) i am OK with it, BUT it is not smooth the way you want in HD2.
well i am sorry to cause you headache guys i am really lost here and i do like HTC phones it is just cannot find the one that do serves me as my HD (blackstone) do
The only thing i would spare the HD (BlackStone) is its slowness.
I might consider desire HD and give it a try.
Here is what I am talking about

@jmohik : So you wanna step back in time to WM6.1 ... if you dont like HD2 now... all the new phones (anytime soon now) are start gonna ship with WM7 .... as per your feedback and requirements, I believe you will ditch WM smartphones altogether
Btw...dont know what more do you want from a HD2 which is able to run a WM6.1, WM6.5, WM6.5.5, All Android Builds, and soon WM7 !
As far as battery, I get 1.5 days out of it .... dont expect more from such beasts...if you do, switch to Nokia
as i said ... i don't want you to hate me guys, and i said it is not easy to change things you got used to ....
well .... i will get the desire HD and i guess i will start on using it.
and BTW i also have a NOKIA E75
Thats the spirit !
It'd be far more interesting to know whether its possible to hack a WM7 rom onto the phone, seeing as the hardware looks identical to the HD7 that HTC are releasing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm Android all the way but theres no harm in experimenting!
I think you just need to spend 2-4 weeks with an Android phone running HTC Sense. I used to use a WM6.1 device, then WM6.5 and then moved to the HTC Hero which was on Android 1.5, and now 2.1. Since the first day I got the Hero, I have not looked back at WM. There really is no question about it.
I understand it all comes down to personal preference, but a Linux user like yourself should find Android easier to work with than those who don't use Linux.
As one of the other guys mentioned above, there are plenty of apps on the market you can get for free which do pretty much everything you say you want. The reason HTC don't provide a stylus these days is the screens are now capacitive not resistive, and better suited to fingers and thumbs. You can still get a stylus, but it would cost more.
P.S. I don't really have much love for the stock Android experience, as on the Nexus One... HTC Sense over the top of it is just amazing... in my opinion, but like I said, everyone has their own personal preference..!
i had an HD2 running wm6.53 and Android from the SD card. Dual booting serves no purpose BUT ITS GREAT!!!
I will get this device when its out as my HD2 died. I would love to be able to dual boot to WM7 just to give it a go.

Surely your HD2 is still within its 12 month warranty! I've had mine since it came out, that isn't even a year yet!
No one will put the time and effort in to port WP7 to an Android device, it just won't really be feasible given the amount of people who will actually want it.
Also, I can imagine it being a lot harder to go, given that WP7 is closed source, and Android is open source.
