Damages, Fresh 2.0, or Stock 2.1 rom when it RELASED!!1

I know this is a pointless thread.
I dont think I am going with the Sprint 2.1 rom when it is released. I am hoping that Damage, Fresh, or Darch will release something that will put is to shame. For a we know the dev's rom could out beat the upgrade that sprint will soon bring to us. DA DA DAAAAAAA
For everyone that has sand in there vagina please dont post anything. Just let it go. First thread, trying here.
Have a great day.

what the hell is up with the use of CAPS lock, large fonts and the use of bold font style in this forum
its like every other thread in the hero cdma forum is people screaming at each other.
HEY DID YOU CHECK OUT THE DAMAGES ROM?

Dude its just letters, Geez Louise. Rooney calm down.

use a new Rom made off the stock 2.1

This post makes you sound like you're in middle school...

What if I am. Thats racist.

I never bash anyone for making a thread but dude, this is the most pointless thread I've read here. I mean, there's no point at all in discussing this.
Any mod out there please close this....

wow decaf

Just about to say the same thing myself. No offense, but that sounded like a comeback from a middle school kid.

Spokesman, I am trying here. I thought it would be an interesting topic of what to expect in the future when the release of 2.1 is out. Damage and Fresh have given us HTC Hero owners a look of what to expect. Or even maybe something better.

Actually, the builds we have such as DamageControl and Fresh 2.0 are pretty much what we'll have eventually since they're built off of Droid Eris leaks. In case you didn't know, Droid Eris = HTC Hero

I know that. So then what is the point. What do you think if we were to update, that we would be stuck and would be able to Root.

My answer has changed a lot since a week ago. Now, with DC1.0+, I'll wait. It's good enough to fix my worst complaints about 1.5 and the stock ROM, and I now have faith that its .apk and .odex files really will fix the few remaining problems with the independent builds within a matter of days.
Equally important to my willingness to wait is the fact that I no longer have to wipe everything just to upgrade to a slightly newer build that fixes another bug or two. Let's be honest... that gets old really fast. I might still do a complete wipe and reflash a month from now on the theory that it will make everything nice & optimized, but in the meantime it's nice to be able to just reflash and go on instead of being forced to rebuild everything, every single time.

I know how you feel. I flash and reflash pretty much once a week to have a new look on my phone. I used to have the samsung instinct and I hated the hell out of that phone and with the htc hero I am enjoying it.

ummm all those devs will take the official 2.1 release and just customize it to their liking. the base will remain the same.

Will continue to use Fresh 2.0b2 until the new Sprint based rom is available (and the custom roms made from it).

See thats what I am talking about. When the 2.1 builds come I know the devs will make a **** loads times better.

i like my sense so i'll wait for the official build from HTC.

I think the camera won't work with it, but I'd like to play with it. Let us have it, Koush! You're the man!

This is what I have been waiting for! Now only if there was an easier root process!

He tweeted earlier about issues with the camera. This is the first build do something is bound to be broken. I still want to run it though.

It's Koush man, he's almost as good as Cyanogen. There will be some kind of build for us to use within the next week. I HIGHLY doubt everything will be working, but we'll have something to play with at least!

That's what all the Droid owners (myself included) thought until we got Froyo on our phones. Turned out that flash wasn't all that great on a phone even when it works. Sure you can watch South Park, but it isn't like it makes much of a difference to your everyday use of the phone.

so is that pretty much it for ROMS?

Before I rooted I would read all these posts about how great the roms would be after Sprint released 2.1. So finally I rooted this weekend, and as I look through all the ROMs they all have major issues, and a lot of the major players have moved on to the EVO. So is that it. As soon as 2.1 comes to us we are left with a bunch of roms that don't work any better, or worse, then stock? That is unless I'm willing to cut out all of HTC and Google software.
Please give me advice as to what I do with this rooted phone now.

Not all of the phones have major issues if u read a lot of the roms they tell if they have any. Also there r stock roms that can be overclocked. We've had three or four devs leave to the evo. That not the end of the world plus they left with final full working roms. If ur not happy with something then for it itself or realize nothing is perfect and that these devs spend a lot of there free time cooking there roms and get real tired of hearing people complain about something that us free. Be a little grateful. Read, search, to a little homework and then ask the questions u have inside ur head before u post a dumb question

Look around, no one here is going to hold your hand.

I would chalk up the majority of the "user problems" to user error such as not wiping between flashes or bad 3rd party software with memory leaks or preventing the phone from sleeping...
Sadly a good number of devs went on to the Evo, even worse is some left in the mid of new releases without fixing some bugs.

Even though a couple of the dev's have moved on, there are still some great ones working on the hero. There are at least 6 or 7 fully functioning roms built on 2.1 right now and there's even some movement on 2.2.

As soon as 2.2 is fully functional I'm gonna make a rom of my own with it and I've got my second rom comming soon to 2.1 woohoo lol

Lol, I have been a member here for more then a year, but I don't post because I know what you get here when you post, I had 2 people call my question dumb or call me ungrateful..
Anyways, I was not being mean to the devs. I think their feelings are still intact (those who have not left)
As for reading and searching the forums, which the "positive" posters repeat like a mantra.... well I have been reading, I've been reading like crazy, and All I see are problems with the Roms because no one ever posts positive feedback.
However, I gather from those more productive posts here that the ROMs are very good quality. So from here ill try them out myself, and refrain from posting again for the next year.
Thank you and sorry to all those with tender feelings who where offended by the simplest of posts.

Just an FYI for everyone Fresh just put out a 2.5.2 BETA to donors.
I assume he will leave this one in 100% working order before he dumps the hero for good.
I think he said in the email something along the lines of "last build before FINAL" but don't quote my quote.
I haven't run a damaged ROM in weeks - I went from him to Darch which I feel is the end all.

Lmao maybe u need a bath to get all the sand out of the unmentionable places lmao

Aloysius 2.1 is rock solid, fast, chocked full of goodies, and did I say, STABLE. Blows any stock Sprint ROM out of the water. DarchDroid 2.7 is good and fast if you like AOSP. And I liked RegawMOD a lot too (use Honeybun OC kernel for extra speed). Plenty of others out there as well. I really liked the Blue ROM but my Hero won't load it. Just try them and quit worrying about it. Use apps2sd and then nandroid and you can go back and forth without losing your apps.

Last build before "FINAL" just means the last non-beta release before an official / final release .

Used Phone Question

***Edit This was a custom rom that must have been installed on the phone, sorry for the title***
I had an Epic that was purchased back in August that I traded for an EVO in December. After a month with the EVO, I couldn't take the on screen keyboard anymore so I traded my EVO for an Epic that was a week old.
It hasn't been rooted or messed with and when I looked at the system info it said it was running 2.2.1 Froyo DK28
Did Samsung start shipping new phones with 2.2.1??
I know 2.2.1 isn't official yet but I have been out of the Epic loop for a month so I wanted to see if this was a fluke or what.

Either you think you're being funny or you've got someone else's flashed phone. It's running DK28, which isn't a release build.

That isn't the official froyo build. It looks like that's a phone that was exchanged for a di18 phone back in december. Or maybe its a refurb that wasn't flashed back to di18.

Honestly I don't think I am being funny, It was a valid question since the phone isn't rooted I wasn't sure.
Is the leaked DK28 flashable without rooting through Odin? If so that would make sense, I just wasn't sure and that's why I asked.

Sorry, but we've had more than our fair share of Froyo pranks on here and I'm sure you've heard the story about the boy who cried wolf.
In any case, the unmodded DK28 is unrooted, so it's quite possible for this to happen. If Sprint gave you this phone, they're not doing a very good job of resetting it back to factory defaults.

That's for sure. I got mad as soon. As I read the ops thread but I guess he really didnt know.

I knew that all the people who were saying that it was offical that we were not getting the update were wrong. HTC never sent out any official notification sayignt that they were not updating the phone it was just some tech support guy's email who was obvioulsy clueless.

I think I'm going to hold off until the developers get a chance with it. I'd hate to update to it and loss root temporarily.

I agree with gio. Don't forget that you could possibly lose root!

Technically even a rooted stock sense phone should receive the update as the updater isn't turned off/removed. At least thats the way the Eris worked. Unless unrevoked somehow turns off the updater when it roots the phone which I'm not aware of.

Alot of the Dinc ROM developers did turn off the updater back when the Froyo OTA was announced due to annoying, constant pop-ups. At least I know that rmk40 did with Virtuous.

This just added over at Android Central:
"Just got word about how the over-the-air rollout's going to take place. The push is scheduled to start Tuesday, Aug. 16, with an initial 10,000 updates. Another 50,000 will get it on Wednesday, and everybody else on Friday."

If you made a backup of your phone right after you rooted and before you installed a custom ROM like I did then what I'm saying is if you restore this first backup then you should get the update.
