HTC Hero update to Android 2.1 pegged for mid-March

HTC Hero update to Android 2.1 pegged for mid-March
By Chris Ziegler posted Feb 9th 2010 5:35PM
We've known for ages that HTC's been working on yanking its custom-skinned Hero off of Cupcake's rusty frame, but so far, the only way to drop Android 2.0 or 2.1 on your phone has been to cheat, root, and load a custom or leaked ROM in place of the official first-party firmware. If you're too straightedge for that, though, keep the faith -- your binary isn't too far off. PR released today indicates that we can expect the Hero to get an Android 2.1 update with Sense in "mid March" according to HTC's Benelux team, and it'll feature a new Friend Stream widget that aggregates user updates across services (presumably a nod to Blur), tweaked Exchange support, and a handful of other goodies. This isn't necessarily indicative of when Hero versions in other regions (Sprint's version, for instance) will pick it up, but it's a solid start.

blah wtf!!!. Its good dont get me wrong but still sketch on the sprint update

Ugh, I'm sick of waiting. T-Mobile here I come.

And thats from HTC. So we can expect an additional wait time from Sprint doing their crappy app tweaks. Maybe they will finally get Sprint tv working.

This isn't necessarily indicative of when Hero versions in other regions (Sprint's version, for instance) will pick it up, but it's a solid start.
I heard from an HTC rep that for Sprint it will be Feb 22.

Along the same lines...If sprint were to post their update after the HTC official drop does that matter? Can't this be flashed directly to our phones (with out the sprint apps obviously)?

I think Sprint has to handle getting their network settings configured, so the Hero knows what to connect to.

I just talk to an HTC rep today and they said the same thing.

I sure hope it comes soon since the Droid is getting theirs this week according to this website

this!!!! i think this is whats taking all the time

So if what the HTC reps told the two above posters is correct (not holding my breath), would it be better to go ahead and go with HTC's 2.1 or wait until one of our devs cooks one up?
By the way that this forum is looking we should have a pretty good looking 2.1 here pretty soon anyway. Just wondering.

As soon as the HTC update drops, our devs will have it re-released for rooted users.. Probably within a day.
In short, if it drops, I'd wait at least 24 hours prior to installing the authentic version, because it'll close the loophole you used to root in the first place.

will we be able to go back?
Say we flash the rom the day it comes out...im dieing to try it... will we be able to use the recovery tools to unflash or will it somehow kill our recovery tools?

From my experience with the PSP, DO NOT UPDATE YOUR PHONE! Give it a few days to make sure root is still possible or doable.

I'd wait until a dev cooks up a rooted version so you don't lose root.

Here's an official build of 2.1 WITH SENSE running on a GSM Hero. Cool to see what we'll have to look forward to.

I would rather wait for a custom Rom running 2.1 then use Sprints 2.1 Rom

EPIC on the march update but I want it now but who doesnt? I know I cant wait to un&*^& my market for my gmail account since i upped to a 2.0 AOSP rom signed in and went back to 1.5 forgetting about that from my android-vogue days and how it basically upgrades your market account then some apps purely wont be able to be found until you go back to that ver.

Google releases Froyo update for Nexus Ones, open-sources code (from GSM Arena)

Lucky Nexus One bustards
As owners for X10, are we eligible for this update??
-----------------------------
Google is also celebrating today - Android 2.2 Froyo has reached two important milestones. Google open sourced the latest version and they are pushing out the final Froyo update to Nexus One users. And we're sure the timing has nothing to do with the launch of the iPhone 4.
Sure, Froyo has been available to Nexus One users for a while (mostly on dev phones and through manual updates), but this seems to be the final, official version of Android 2.2. You could manually download the update from here (it works only if you're running FRF50 firmware), though if you don't know what you're doing, you should wait for the OTA update.
Your Nexus One should automatically check for updates or you could force a check (go to Settings -> About phone -> System updates), so one way or another you should be getting a notification that a new version is available and download it Over-the-Air.
Some people are reporting that the update is not available for them yet, so it might not work right away - rolling out updates is a gradual process and it varies by location too.
The other important milestone for Android 2.2 Froyo is that Google open-sourced the code to their partners and manufacturers and everyone else too. This means that they can start working on Froyo firmwares for the non-Google phones.
------------------------------------------
Can we have official feedback from SE guys?

Well the Nexus One is a Google brand phone so it's no huge surprise that the Nexus gets it first. It'd be more suprising if it didn't.

Totally agree with you, but I believe SE should consider updating us (X10 users) to the 2.2 not 2.1
Anybody is reading from SE team???

You put your hope on SE? Joke or what?

The way I see it with Android devices is that you buy the hardware and then hack the software to hell and back. Just didn't count on the X10 being so hard to mod when I got it, guess I'm too used to HTC phones.

I've heard tons of timeframes, all of them are "Later", "Soon", "When it's done" and so on. Afaict they've got it working but need to make it more noob-friendly as well as hide the exploit.

I understand that 'root' has been achieved, but won't there be further delays until a stable custom Rom is created for the x10?

Oh yes, it will take anywhere from a short while to a very long time afterwards. Getting root is just one step of the way.

Thought as much. From the posts on other threads it seems as though posters think root and ROM will appear simultaneously.
I can imagine that the first ROMs we'll get our hands on will have all sorts of bugs, and we'll have to compromise on things like WiFi, Bluetooth e.t.c. Maybe due to lack of drivers available.
I'm going on past experience from The G1 and old WinMo devices.
Oh well.......

Remember to be realistic, guys. The devs can't just copy and paste Froyo onto our X10s without a hitch. It will take some time. I'm not even anticipating a stable version of Froyo on the X10 because it is a huge task.
What I'd like to see is the latest FW but stripped down with no branding or operator software (and no Moxier crap!!!). And if it's possible, for Flash to be released on the X10. That may not be feasible but I certainly hope it's available. SE takes forever!!

CONFIRMED : HTC Tattoo NOT getting official 2.1 update

hi guys!
HTC Italy had confirmed recently via twitter that bad news (anyway, we expect it)
LINK : http://twitter.com/HTCItalia/status/17429963594
It says that 2.1 update for HTC Tattoo is not planned just now, but really it says that we never see an official update from HTC. Bet that HTC engineers have encountered problems making work camera and radio...
Our only hope is in our awesome "RomCookers" (such as fyodor, ikxdf, jacob and much more). i will donate as soon as possible for me, the work of those men is fabulous!!
XDA +1, HTC -1
NOT DEVLOPMENT RELATED MOVED TO GENRAL

Does´n´t mean that much anyway. I´d rather have my rom from the devs here than HTC. Take for ex. the original froyo from HTC to Desire. It´s very buggy. In contrast the opendesire rom from AdamG is the nicest and cleanest rom I´ve ever seen.

Maybe 2.2 ...

No way... (Why would they bother with 2.2 if they haven't even lifted a finger for 2.1...)

I think that we won't see an update foot the tattoo, ever!
You can see the issues Htc has to face with sense and the hardware in the Kiljacken-Rom - overclocking made it useable, but still you are permanently running low on RAM. SenseUi in my opinion is the biggest problem and Htc isn't going to throw it over board just to give us eclair or froyo...

Notice i said android 2.X not 2.1
And she told about 2.1 .. i dont know why she went for the2.1 but its okay.

I've asked 2 times, first was about 2.1-2.2 update.. answer was June 17th 2010
Hi Daniél, Thank you for contacting us regarding HTC Tattoo. Unfortunetely there is no planned Android 2.1 - 2.2 upgrade for the Tattoo. You are welcome to contact us again for further assistance. Best regards, Elsa H. HTC
2nd time I asked I mentioned that now when the newer phones like Desire got it's 2.2 and the older Hero got its 2.1 update, is there any plan for ANY update for the Tattoo?
Answer was August 6th 2010
Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your enquiry about Android 2.2: We cannot comment on what devices may or may not get an update just yet.

We, Russian users, started spamming HTC for 2.1, but we got the only reply that we won't get 2.1 because of perfomance lowerage. But such words they said about Hero, but the users fought for 2.1 and got it! Now, I think, it's our time. Yes, there is Wildfire with 2.2, but they CAN release the Tattoo firmware 2.1, they just don't WANT to do it. I ask all of you to join our war against HTC marketologists! We MUST get 2.1!!!

Ok, I'm in too... so, what's the plan? How to fight for 2.1 upgrade?

There's nothing you can do with fighting for an upgrade. HTC doesn't want to. You have to accept that. If you really want 2.x go to the development section of the forum. You will find a few roms there. They are not working perfectly (Camera and FM don't work and some minor bugs) but at least they work. If you want to do something for a perfect tattoo 2.x rom you have to help the developers in building it. If you're not skilled in developing yourselves you can help them as testers.

(THINKTANK)MIUI Port for the HD2 (9/22/2010)

Hey all. I'm new to the HD2 but not to android. I'm sure you've all seen the MIUI rom for desire and nexus. (if you haven't go here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or-9T44Bt7M&feature=player_embedded
To clarify :"It appears that the ROM has been mostly custom built using only the base from Android 2.2 and then building an exceptional interface on top that could beat anything else that currently exists.
From full FM radio support to completely customizable home screens, dedicated buttons on the lock screen that take you to the SMS app and the phone dialer."
Since its fore the desire/nexus, It should be an easy port to the HD2, I just need halp
I'm sure most of us would love to see this implemented on the HD2. I thought I could do it myself, but I've tried and failed. Below are two links. One for the full rom and the other is a link to the system.ext2 image I made from the /system folder of the ROM. I've tried a couple of different kernel combinations and still can't get it to boot (replaced the system.ext2 in shubcraft with the one I made and it just reboots). I don't yet know enough about android on the hd2 to get this working myself. So I figured I'd start a thread and see where we can get.

UPDATE: 9-24-2010 : We do have a working test build that is being given out to a few folks. No ETA on a alpha or beta release. Hopefully this weekend. I'm tonight and tomorrow so I'll squeeze in some android time when I can. SARCASTILLO (guy who made hyperdroid) gets the credit for getting this thing booting.

P.S. The music in the video makes me want to run up a big flight of stairs and air punch at the top.

Nice to hear that ! We always lack people like you, however the few Hd2 build developers have magic hands.
Maybe you already know that, but I suggest you to contact them directly for this great project because Hd2 is a very popular phone, so this forum is 99.9% populated by end-users. At the begining kernel developers tried to work into xda forums, but deserted for the Htc-linux Irc because of noise.

This would be so awesome!!!! DEVS, plz plz plz look at this !!

personally i'd love to see this ported! would be something... different!

I'm looking forward to it too. Looks interesting.

[Q] Android 2.3 Gingerbread for HTC Buzz/Wildfire ???

Just wondering, but since Gingerbread is out now: I would love to know if:
a) it can be configured to run on the Wildfire?
b) how/who/when can do it, to make it happen?
c) if there are plans to build cyanogen mod on Gingerbread
Thanks and looking forward to it

You'll have to wait a few weeks as it hasn't been put on AOSP yet meaning the source isn't available. You might see a port of the emulator image on the nexus one as that has been done before with froyo. Once we have source it should(afaik) be a case of modifying the vendors that adeadrat and Jacob are using now to accommodate for the new build.prop etc.

well: I guess that wasn't the warmest possible welcome into the developing world. Hope for you guys that it's not all too rough out there ... I really have fun trying out the different custom ROMs that there are. I would even report bugs, as that's about the only thing I could contribute ...
still am excited to see how the work in Gingerbread for Wildfire is going, since I suspect it will be the last major release that can be run on the wildfire.
PS: This thread may not be completely lost if some folks who are into developing post any announcements on Gingerbread for Wildfire here ...
... have a happy Gingerbread Season!

This topic perfectly answers your questions : [Q]Gingerbread for Wildfire?
I'm not saying anything against you, and you're a new comer, the least would have been to read some topics.

Damn you already ported the gingerbread?! Nice work, How is it? Does it run smoother then 2.1/2.2 or is gingerbread more for tablets then this budget phone.

What features do you want functional before release, calls, wifi?

I know it is a bit much but is there any chance we will hame a cyanogen rc3 built on 2.3?

Jesus, guys. Give him some time.
Good stuff Jacob, hope you get it up and running.

Amazing. Looking forward to it Jacob! =D

good work guys... please refine this rom and make the wildfire a great purchase for all people as it is a great little phone..
Also i don't know if this could be done but can something be done in regards to the resolution of the wildfire... please lol or is there a replacement screen for the wildfire? ......cause i really would like to get another screen and if anyone knows where that would be great.

I only know for the resolution of the wildfire, that there is a pixel density changer (I have no idea if this is any good, but you could look into it if you really want to change it)
