you can not get rom with all features if not all features are working (like you said camera,fm...)
so you'll just have to stick with that one if you need them,and if you don't try playing and upgrading
Read the forum... all the information is there.
HTC won't update the phone
You can flash a custom rom with 2.2.1 or 2.3 but no camera or radio (who uses fm radio anyway?)
That is your only option.
The forum IS pretty big.
Maybe camera will work in the soon future. Now in kalimo's ROM one can see previews, very low resolution pictures.
But you can also flash one of the many 1.6 ROMs here. They all have functionning camera and FM radio.

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.
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
So basicly, I'm going to buy my first pda phone, the HTC Magic from Vodafone. Now I readed and watched videos about hacking android phones and etc but I'm stuck with 2 questions.
1, Can I use a 2.1 custom ROM on a 1.5 Official Firmware?
2, What ROM should I use on a 32B that includes video capturing with working bluetooth and multitouch?
A ROM is a Firmware file, so it overwirtes your factory installed firmware. and I dont know much about the 32b ROM's so, just do some searching in the android development section for the HTC magic. As far as i know majority of 2.1 ROMS will support muti-touch in the browser and sometimes Maps.
One of the most popular 2.1 roms would be cyanogenmod 5.0.8, which has full support for the 32b mytouch.
I know it supports multitouch on maps and browser for sure
So I have the T-mobile's HTC HD2 and I updated the software to 3.14 (the latest official ROM). It still seems to freeze ):
I like it the way it is, but I wondered if there is a ROM that is exactly like the official update ROMs that are just better. Its hard to explain. Umm let me try to say it easier: I want a ROM that has been fixed so it doesn't freeze and major bugs have been fixed but maintains the 6.5 and HTC SENSE looks still. So I'm wondering if anyone knows if theres such a ROM that I'm describing or knows a team thats working on one?
I have the same ROM (3.14 WWE) and i have no issues at all.
You are looking for a WM ROM, but you posted it in the Android General Questions section.
What does this have to do with android ?

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.
