I am not sure if this is of value or if any of you are not already aware, but decided to post this in case it is of any worth to any of you who are working on developing Froyo Rom to work on a Sprint HTC Hero.

We still need source code to get Mic and other things working.
Under their own laws (found in Settings>About Phone>Legal Information), when Google officially releases Froyo for ANY device (Nexus, Droid, G1) they must release the source code. So, once they release a device version of Froyo, they must release Froyo on source.android.com.

Google is becoming very HTC-y about source. Give it a week or 2. FroYo has been out for N1 for a couple of weeks now. This is an updated FroYo.
Still waiting on the source tree to drop sadly.

Froyo isn't out yet. Google has not released it yet. There were some review units that Google sent Froyo to for review purposes only, but it has not been released to the public. The only reason the public has it is because of these leaks.
I expect Google to have it up as soon as it publicly drops. Now HTC on the other hand...

This is incorrect. The Linux Kernel source is licensed under the GPL which means when you release something that uses it you must release any modifications you made to it. Android however is not licensed under such a license. It is under the Apache license which means any changes that Google, HTC, Cyanogen or any other entity makes to it do not have to be released. Now, Google changing the kernel source, yes that does mean they need to release that. But just that. They will release it all in time though. Should be this week or next week I would assume.

Does it even matter anymore? The devs have left the hero, it will be months before we see a working Rom and I bet the evo gets it before we do .

I have no doubt the Evo will get it first. But we still have devs on the board.
Darch has already commited to building an AOSP FrpYp, and there is enough documentation laying around here for anyone with some Linux-Fu to be able to take out our Hero Kernel and drop it into any system dump or boot image and at least make it bootable. Not necessarily 100% functional, but bootable.
I have no doubt that within a few days of Google dropping FroYo source that we have a functional version.
Also, I at this point in time don't care about HTC Sense UI. AOSP is awesome with ADW lancuher. That thing only keeps getting better. He has a build with gesture controls built in coming soon.
The ONLY thing I don't like about AOSP is Exchange emails with more than 1 attachment won't show me the email text...but I think this is just a user error.
For now I have been forwarding the email to my Gmail address to read it.

Yes there is. Start developing. Don't whine that someone else isn't doing the work anymore. Step up to the plate and do the work. I'm sick of people whining about developers moving to different phones and leaving users behind. They're not "leaving users behind", they're moving forward and they owe you nothing. This isn't the Marines. This is technology and business.
Complaining about them upgrading and not working on the ROM for your phone is like complaining that they didn't write ROMs for the G1 or Nexus 1. Should they be forced to buy those phones to develop on? Absolutely not.
Besides those points, your post still contains some ignorance. Damage stated he's not giving up development for the Hero, he's busy getting married this week. TrevE said he's backing away from the Evo for a bit to focus on the Hero. Darch is definitely still around, despite people trying to get him to move to the Evo. Where's the problem?
There's no point in arguing with both of you.for some reason when someone says the word dev you guys start creaming your pants and when the least bit of negative is said you guys go to McDonald's and order a whamburger and French cries. This is the internet morons and both of you need to get off the dev's nut sack and understand that I have an opinion and I'm gonna use it. Now both of you can go hold each other now.

Fresh and Darch are still dev'ing for the Hero as far as I know (I'm running Fresh Hero 2.3 beta which is only a couple of days old). I'm not sure about the rest but as long as those two are going strong there are good things to come.

I think that's a great idea. I'd be willing to help out of this gets rolling.
Not to get OT, but getting an EVO won't help in getting the source released by HTC. Not too much he could do until then.
well considering avalaunch has made a 2.2 (froyo) aosp build for evo without the source (although camera still doesn't work) i think you could still make something
that works specially since it would still be 2.1 and the camera and libs all work on 2.1 already

I believe his is a port though, not a true AOSP as a base. I could be wrong, but you would need the source in order to do that.

Well maybe they will be a little closer to releasing the source by the time we get an evo in darch's hands.
Plus if we go ahead and hook him up he can start getting familiar with it.
Like I said I got $20 on it.
I'll start by making a list of commitments to donate in the OP
If you are willing to chip in for the cause please post it and the amount. If we get close to enough commitments to donate then I'll set the donate link up and we'll get this thing going.
thanks guys

I don't want to spoil your party. but even if Darch had an evo, he would still need the kernel source for the 2.6.32 kernel, along with the vendor files to compile an Stock aosp rom. last i checked the official source for the .29 kernel hasn't been released, and when you look at htc's history of releasing kernel's it will be getting close to this time next year when the .32 kernel is officially released. but hey i'm hoping for a leak

You're not spoiling my party.
I know it couldn't be done over night, and getting an aosp build on the evo is only half the reason for the party.
The other half is how much work he put in for us hero guys without asking for donations, or even posting a link to a way to donate to him.
He's a cool dude, he's brilliant, he wants an evo and can't afford it out of pocket atm, and having him here would be very cool indeed.
On that note, if anyone has an extra upgrade they would be willing to part with that would SERIOUSLY bridge the gap. My Dad has several lines on his account for his business and typically has one or 2 upgrades available but he just used all of them last week
20 here, He has made the Hero what it should have been from Day 1. I personally will not be getting an EVO until there is a AOSP rom for it. I wish the manufacturers would just leave it along. I also dont really care if it has 4g or not since from what I hear thats all on HTC CRAP code anyways
Yeah Darch does awesome work on his roms.
Dudes! You will not be taking out Hero Dev! For the most part everyone has bailed beside Flipz and Darch!
My former Hero and I are both huge fans of Darch! Put me down for $20... and Tipharet, stay out! Nothing to see here. (or get an Evo and join us )
Many people think it is dead and there are no devs working on it anymore, but this isnt true. There are still multiple devs with this phone, yes some are working on other phones but look at this device, it has everything. We already have Froyo, and really we need the source to get the bluetooth working so now were only waiting for HTC to release the source. You could be on another device that is outdated or even unsupported anymore.
So be patient, well be getting S-Off and Official Froyo soon

Development isn't dead it's just slowed. There are new phones to work with. It's more fun to dev on a phone that's new and to an extent unknown than one that's pretty much given up all its secrets.

We are. T Mobile has confirmed it on many occasions. If froyo is on the myTouch 3G...we will 100% get it on the Slide.
By the time we get official Froyo, there will be Gingerbread already for some devices I think. I wish they skipped Froyo to release Gingerbread update instead.
From HTC and Tmo's standpoint, updating these phones is gotta be the last thing on there minds.
Face it updating these phones doesn't make them any money.
Frankly they'd both be happier if you just bought another phone.
Manufacturers and Telco's are in the business of selling phones and cellular service.
Not making FREE updates.
I realize if we had official froyo from Tmo and the bluze source that would add additional functionality to our phones,
but, personally I don't even care.
What I mean is that I'm satisfied with what team douche and the bunch, as well as other devs are doing and have done for our phone.
I put more faith in what they will come up with than waiting on anything from HTC and Tmo.
You people(not all) are impatient, I had a cliq and they promised us 2.1 update last december, you when cliq users got it? Acouple weeks ago! Ya ok it maybe a little while but if you had any consideration of what their doing, youd be a little more patient. They have port the whole rom to 2.2, some may say that isnt so hard you go and try and port a app or something from 2.1 to 2.2, Goodluck. Also I talked to Cheifz and he said S-Off is done for the Slide and AlphaRev is waiting to finish S-Off for another device so they can release both at the sametime.

Haven't seen any recent threads about this in a long time. But, time to get an update....
I'm fed up with all the bugs 2.2 has to offer. I want my Evo fixed. So when does your team think 2.3 or higher for the evo will be released? Better question... Are they even working on it? Is it even a project? Or will they just not support our phone again because they already made their money on it?
EDIT! I'm not asking about a silly mod that doesn't work. I'm asking about sprint releasing it.
Edit again. lol. I DO USE 4G on a daily basis. So mods that don't fully support 4g won't ever work for me.

2.3 is already here...Try CyanogenMod 7. And download something like Beautiful Widgets or Launcher Pro Plus or ADW for nice widgets, like those in Sense.
In all seriousness, your point is a good one. I got tired of waiting for Sprint to drop a 2.3 release -- sad that we have to depend on the kindness of strangers in the dev community to do what our carrier should do, but it is what it is...And thank God for the dev community. They make our user experiences so much better through their hard work.
Root your EVO. Install CM7 (try nightly #12 for that good 4G) . Enjoy your 4G and Gingerbread.

So if you're rooted, why not just try it? Do a nandroid backup, and flash it. Don't like it? Restore the backup. Hell, at least try it... you may actually like it!

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
while cm is pretty great it would be nice to have an official gingerbread update, and i have read that the evo would completely skip 2.3 and head to 2.4. Anyone else heard the same?
its silly not to use cyanogen, i've used it on everyone of my phones as soon as there is a resonably stable version available, because even a nightly version of cyanogen is more stable then the stock roms these carriers put out.
Jimbob said it best earlier, you will only get bloatware if you roll with the Sprint version(if they get one). What do you like about Sense that makes you want to wait for it?

Huh. Go on then, take the source and start-a-porting. How about this: don't ever expect anything to come. There is a chance it will never come, although sense the CM team is working on it I suspect it will arrive some day. Their one rule is to not ask for etas, so please stop asking where cm7 is.

Huh. Go on then, take the source and start-a-porting. How about this: don't ever expect anything to come. There is a chance it will never come, although sense the CM team is working on it I suspect it will arrive some day. Their one rule is to not ask for etas, so please stop asking where cm7 is.

I totally agree we shouldn't take the devs for granted (especially those of us just savvy enough to use the roms, but not enough to help make 'em at all).
However, last year Android was at like 16% market share, and CM could support basically every unlocked phone all the way back to the G1. This year Android market share is at almost 40% with phone dropping at an accelerating rate. I'm sure it helps them decide which phones to support to know where there is interest.
I hope it doesn't hurt anyone at CM's feelings for me to say that I love CM, and have missed it ever since I left my G1 for the Atrix, and I too will be holding off on flashing roms for now in hopes that CM will add us to the supported device list.
Well said

Where can we get atleast 100% confirmation that cm7 is in fact being worked on. No he said she said stuff. Let's see an actual post from one of the devs please. I think that would make people feel A LOT better

I would like to see this too, assuming such confirmation even exists...I've been watching aliasxerog's twitter periodically, as it seemed he and a team of a few other guys were given the unlocked Atrix to work on? As recently as like last week or something, he had made comments about working on a kernel.
However recently it seems he has been looking for a DX2...nothing like ditching work on one phone partway through! Hopefully this isn't really the case lol, and he is still at work on CM7 or something!
if you search for CM7 on the Atrix foruns you'll see a post with status updates on the port. No "he said she said".

Got a link to that post??
i definite don't take devs for granted. While I don't have the the technical chops to port myself, I donated to several projects .
While the current official rom works very well, I believe atrix can be even better without all the extra bloat . I think we have good chance to see miui official support for our phone because the phone is being heavily advertised by the china cellular providers.

Come on guys, if you don't pro-actively "wait for it", things will be much easier for you
It will take time for the first build to emerge, and even more times before all the bugs get fixed. Just subscribe to aliaxesrog twitter and wait for your day.
To be clear, you don't have to be a existing CM7 Dev to start print CM7, it's open source.
When a developer gets a port working for a specific device, if they can merge the unique code for that device back into CM7 mainline, it becomes an officially supported device and that developer becomes a recognized maintainer.
We have a few people working on CM7, AliasXerog, SamCripp and I'm reaching out to others, but as no Moto devices have been as unlocked as the Atrix since the OG Droid people are starting from scratch.

Rewards (READ: BIG QTD OF DOLLARS) was offered and NO CM team said anything about ETA or if its being worked on, so i gona hate cm team and i think they will not support our phone, sad but true.
I really want to donate, and i didn't have more a atrix (mine got dropped on toilet), but just when community got somethig good and working.

When it gets ported, they will presumably start supporting. Have faith!

The Cyanogen devs have said, repeatedly, that what devices they develop CyanogenMod for is dependent on what devices they personally have or have access to. That being said, there is a thread on the Unofficial Ports section of their forum, but it's almost exclusively repetitions of "the bootloader is unlocked, can we get a port now please?"
For the more impatient members of the angry mob, it's worth remembering that the bootloader hasn't been unlocked for all that long.
