Well at least we got a leak.....
What the hell are you talking about man!?!?!
We are getting it on the 10th!
And the 13th! and again on the 29th!
And then they are putting out a 2.2 Hero update in memory of that Baby seal Austin kicked and killed
Don't be mad! there are less than 48 hours till Eeyore's birthday! No one can be mad at a time like this!
Look, they just decided to wait till 3.0 gets released, it'll much better.....
Thats for 2.0. We're waiting on 2.1.
oh man, another one of these threads lol.can't wait to see where this one goes
who gives a rats ass about 2.1 anyways. im still rocking a super fast 1.5 setup!
Ok....So looking at that it says Android 2.0...
Last I heard we were getting 2.1......
Enough of this thread...
Why make another thread

i agree im rocking a super fast 1.5 build with out all the stoopid audio issues lol no offense to any rom dev you guys rock, i just happen to have to worst hero that doesnt play nice with anybodys roms, but im using fresh kitchen and i got my own rom with 150mb free its sick
The larger point, to me, is this: we can never, ever, count on Sprint for our upgrades. They will always be 6 months behind a remotely tolerable upgrade schedule.
I'm not at all saying "don't buy Sprint", I'm very happy with them. I'm just saying "the community is what matters". Your upgrades come from XDA.

The only reason i want a official release, is so i can use fresh kitchen & make 2.1 roms.

you mean leaks come from xda. myself id rather wait until the final comes out and the devs get their hands on it.
I know I will never run the OTA update, the only reason I'll care is if the devs can make a better rom out of it, but I doubt it will make too much of a difference. the 2.1's we got pretty much have everything working already.
It will not be an ota update. It will be an over the wire update from the "training" materials.
My hope is that when the official 2.1 comes out, some of these little quirks will be gone. For example, an overclocked rom with a working camera would be great.

"Google" The EVO Update As I'm Not Allowed to post links.. BOO.
The EVO gets 2.2 presumably with the SenseUI on August 3rd.. When this is released is there any chance that we will see this flavor of custom rom for our Hero devices?! Hopefully Darch and the other XDA experts wont let us go without.. We can ONLY HOPE!! Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge.. Surprised there isn't a leak already.. Or is there!?
There is, i am running full 2.2 100% working on my Evo, and HTC also posted the update.zip on their website, but Devs from the Evo have had sense working for awhile now, but it still hasn't been ported over because of the huge differences in frameworks
I really wish I knew what people liked about SenseUI. It just seems so bulky and slow to me.
darchstar told me many times tonight there will be no 2.2 sense port for the hero. (from the evo) the arch is different
Nfinitefx45 will be working on porting 2.2 sense here soon

Thanks for the info!
I flipped through the EVO dev forum (reluctantly) and saw that they are already up and running on the latest froyo build which is awesome! I'm glad to see that all hope is not lost and that there will be some development for 2.2 with sense. To answer Zardos66 I personally like the facebook contact linking and the look of the UI. It has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with functionality and usefulness. The SenseUI is a bit clunky but I haven't found a happy medium with any of the roms that don't have the SenseUI. Just something I'd like to see and If it can be done I trust that the XDA Pros will knock it out of the park.. I'm very excited to see what can be made of this!! XDA FTW!

I thinks it mainly the widgets. other then that idk.
Im running senses, i've tried an aosp rom, it just didn't feel right, i guess i got used to sense.
But will install cm6 when darch gets into the RCs.

Even with OC, Sense still lags. It's is easy to mimic with less ram taken up.
Launcher pro
2x4 people widget - free
Messaging Widgets - free
Weather and toggle widgets - $1.99
feels good man.
Supposedly we can't port the EVO 2.2 release over to the Hero because the EVO build is designed for a much faster processor. Our Hero couldn't handle such a port without A LOT of tweaking....in other words, almost impossible.
Whenever the HTC Legend gets their 2.2 release, that is probably the build that the devs here will try to port over for us. A couple people have already committed to doing this.

Darch released RC0 a few builds ago, i am currently running Not my dog too build and all is pretty well. Camera app is still pretty much useless but Camera Magic is a quick fix. The gallery is pretty messed up with auto rotate and such, but aside from pictures it is a MAJOR improvement over eclair. My Hero runs like a champ!
does it change anything that the desire got a sense 2.2 today also?

I'm not familiar with the desire to know if it would work... hopefully it's closer to ours.

no still built on the snap dragon processor and is HDPI (high res) this is why we are waitng on the legend , it is the cousin to the hero in terms of processor and the fact that it is our exact resolution MDPI (medium). the legend is supposed to be on froyo within the next two months.

If it is gonna be anything like eclair release, I'm not holding my breath till around christmas, which is when the next major version of Android is supposed to be released. I bet by that time Sprint drops all support for their 6 month old Evo like they did with out Heroes, too!
Sigh I want froyo with sense.

the bottom line is the hero should of got the 2.2 update. sprint isn't doing a good job of supporting their phones at all. i owned the evo for a week and while i liked the speed & size the pitfall was the battery life. none of the tweaks worked and you had to disable every feature of the phone.
The nexus one looks so good. Still. So much support for it. Being googles baby it will probably get gingerbread. Just saying almost a year old and still one of the best phones. ("Did I get ripped off?" I sometimes wonder)
i just heard droid users are getting froyo today. this is a bunch of bull**** and im pissed at htc. i should of kept my evo. talk about dropping the ball with the hero!
There will be no port from the Ego since there's wayy to much things to change its almost impossible, but our hope of 2.2 is from the legend!

i hope so because im not digging the aosp stuff. id like a sense port so i can get the htc goodies.
I am evo guy and this epic stuff throws me off a bit. I need a stable rom that will have decent battery and I can theme for my wive she likes her phone too look good,and,she likes launcher pro. Any suggestions?

For theming my opinion would be bonsai and frozen emotionless beast.
I use nebula rom because battery life is more important to me than themes.

Wait for at minimum 1 week from today to even consider a rom. We are getting official froyo on Monday. Literally ANYTHING built on top of official Froyo will be better than this leaked froyo business. I suggest updating her to official stock froyo when it is released, and then coming back in a month or so and checking out what the coolest kernel is that is available, since that affects battery life much more than slight rom adjustments.
I agree. If we really are getting froyo Monday then no.need to update to dk28. Just wait a little bit.

How do you know we are getting the official Froyo on Monday. Hasnt there been solid release dates before and flopped?
Sprint has never been behind the previous release dates. Sprint finally has a date for this update on their dealer's website.
I suggest midNIGHT.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Pfft a month? I give it until this time Tomorrow to see most ROMs up to speed with EB13, and a week or two before we see some mature custom kernels.
(Based on us having the update tomorrow)
I suggest Epic Experience. Ive tried others and had problems with all of them. Epic Experience ran the smoothest for me and is fairly close to stock. The others seem to be more about 'pushing the envelope and that will usually produce more bugs.
I'll personally be trying ACS though as soon as they get a froyo rom.

I was just at the sprint store and they were bummed about having to open all the epic's to update them. They figured that this Froyo has sprint ID. So I would skip the ota if I were you.

With the gingerbread rom being released now i imagine if v2.0 gets released in its present state its going to be abandoned quick for 2.5 or 3.0 which will be based off gingerbread.

It most definitely will. But while all that stuff is in development it will be awesome to have. Those Devs got it together. As for me I'm not going to mess with gingerbread till then. I don't think that i can ever go back to blur even if it is 2.3.

You might be surprised. Gingerblur is miles ahead of 2.2 Blur. Coming from Liberty 1.5 and no intention of going back any time soon.

I do like the new blur. Its very smooth and snappy. Some devs will make Blur ROMs, and some will make Blurless ROMs, so we just need to choose what we like better. Either way, these ROMs are going to be tops when they come out. The D2 devs are very talented
I'm getting a new droid tomorrow, should I just wait on Liberty 2.0 and not bother installing 1.5 to avoid any screw ups I might make? xD
so lets say that google were to release the source code to ICS on the 19th (wednesday) at there special ICS event in Hong Kong. how long do you think it would take till we had some alpha builds going for the evo. not looking for an exact date. just wondering what you guys are thinking.
they would get something working the same day. When I mean working *boots up then reboots*
now i give it a month before anything even close to stable comes out.
If the ICS OS is just being released, don't hold your breathe on source code for too long. It took them, what, almost 3 months to release GB?

i thought aosp source was released same day as when it drops on the nexus phones... i think the 3 month wait your thinking of is the source for the GB htc kernels.
im not really sure how long it took for aosp to be released so dont take my word on it because by the time i rooted in like march cm7 was already well underway in development...

I think the SDK was released before source last year, & a couple devs were able to make a booter just off the SDK itself.

well figuring that the nexus s is pretty closely spec'ed to the evo, id say itll be ok. it wont run as well as it will on the newer phones, but if the nexus S can handle it, (as the leak vid showed a few weeks ago) id say were good.

Phone will be announced today but not available, that could be a few weeks or a month. Then you get AOSP source, then devs start porting it. So we're looking at well into 2012 before you'll see any ICS based rom's on the Evo.
According to the live stream, the SDK was just released. Should be on here in a little while:

It was announced today, yes - and the ICS code was also made available today, during the announcement.

If the SDK is out, I wouldn't at all be surprised to see something that at least boots by the end of the week. Maybe not for the Evo but at least for one phone out there.
SDK emulator fun to mess with, but still slow as a G1!
Bring on CM9!!!!!
I'm hoping CM9 comes with the stock interface of ICS. Please stop bundling the ADW launcher into the builds.. Although I use ADW EX, I'd really like to hold the ability to just "turn off" ADW and go to the stock Android interface.

I would have to agree; the new launcher is really very slick.
I think there will be one more build on cm7 to finalize it. I think that cyanogen is working ICS but don't quote me on that. It still might take some time before cm9 nighlys.
