Hi Have a look at the CM7 forum
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum-0/announcement-16-hero-gsm-cm-7/
I would like to offer an Official status report on CM7 (Android 2.3) and CM support for the Hero GSM.
As many of you know, Lox stepped away as CM Maintainer for your device sometime in January. Since then, we have continued to issue Nightlies, Betas and one ill-gotten stable build (which was subsequently pulled); all without an active maintainer dedicated to the Hero GSM.
The team has come to the conclusion, that this is just not a sustainable and viable endeavor. With no active developer looking out for the GSM variant, items like that nasty memory leak sneak their way in. Additionally, it would seem that those in the Android community that do work on the CM source, and publish their own ROMS, are not contributing their fixes back to the CM source.
Having a broken base serve as a stepping stone for closed fixed versions doesn't work for us, and is against our aims with CM.
This decision is not irreversible, we simply would require commitment from a capable developer to maintain and manage the Hero vendor. Till that point, CM support for Hero GSM is hereby discontinued.

I think its fair Enough and I personally still appreciate there are still Dev's like Elelinux, erasmux and others who are still helping around to keep us happy with their lovely roms and kernels the time has come to move on
My contract is coming to an end in a couple of months and have already put my beloved hero on ebay.
Looking to go with with either the Samsung galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation as they have 1 GB Ram compared to LG's Offerings and the Motorola Atrix has too many expensive Accessories which I have no intresest
What do you guys think ?
Same with me
Really thanks to all developers especially erasmux, ninpo, pulser,Villain Team....
Because of you i still have my old good Hero. Cheers
I ordered new Samsung GS2 and I think I'm going to miss some of you crazy dev guys. The Hero was very great phone but his time is running out. Too often I feel the lack of power, camera...
At least if you get bored with your Hero, you could always just flash it with one of the many existing ROMs.
I'm in the same boat as most of you. Nearing upgrade renewal period and looking at the Sensation, GS2 maybe the Atrix and whatever else that comes out. My Hero screen stopped responding so I got a Blade for the time being. I'd like to thank all the developers for their ROM's and the community. I will miss the Hero once it's gone.
Just like reiterate what everyone else is saying. Shame that there isn't an active dev working with the CM team for our Hero.
Have a few months before upgrade time. Would love to go for the SGS II or one of the newer HTC phones (Incredible or maybe Desire S if I had to). I like the sound of the Atrix, but need to look at it in the flesh first. Loved my Razr when I had it, but later phones didn't appeal from Motorola.
Hopefully we will see some new stuff from Erasmux soon. Have tried VR13 and had been running Elelinux 7, but always go back to Floyo for speed and reliability.
Thanks to all the devs past and present.
This isn't an obituary for the Hero, just thought I would pass on my thanks before any more jump ship.
In december of this year my hero will become 2 years old and i think i'll get a new phone then. But i have to say that the hero was my best choice for a mobilephone till now. And i still think its very useable and it just makes fun to see that there are many more people who see this just like me. i'll miss my hero :*(
I've still got 10 months left before an upgrade
Luckily though my GF is going to get a SGS2 on contract and swap me, I'm going to wait till the sensation is released and the networks offer better deals for it.
Thanks to the devs who have been and gone and still remain, each and everyone has made the hero what it is today. It's a shame, but all good things has to come to an end.
Too many devs to mention but thank you all!!
The SGS2 looks quality, it got an excellent review too. I found it on a 12 Month contract albeit with £300 for the phone upfront but the contract is only £20 so it's equivalent to the phone itself on Pay as you Go. I'm quite interested in the Sensation too, I hope the bootloader or whatever is unlocked by someone.
Call me a traitor but Windows Phone is compelling as well. The Dell Venue Pro is chunky but I like it.
I still have many months before my contract will expire, but I am thinking to buy a new phone anyway..
The Hero was my first smartphone and thanks to him I am in love with Android now..
Thanks for everything Hero..
Do not give up, there is a hope. After all, there are no serious problem with CM7 on hero, except for that invisible menus bug, which affects lots of other devices, too. There might be some people, who can take LoxDev's place.
VillainRom just tweeted that they have managed to fix some of the mess of cyanmod so there might be something coming from Villain Rom
Despite having had a new phone for a few months now, I just can't bring myself to sell my hero - just like my old Motorola startac (showing my age now) I think it will remain firmly in my possession for a while yet.

i can't let the hero go...
to all the devs who made my hd2 one of a kind. Darkstone,Coutella , pongster , cmxylgo , tyween , and all others who aided our beloved HD2's into being one of the most versitile phones that there has ever been ,those guys especially for me, I am straying away from my hd2 to get a SENSATION , i really hope im not making a mistake, i put it on ebay (hd2)and it sold in two days, I REALLY wasnt expecting it to go so fast,kinda caught me by surprise , but any how i got a chance to play with the sensation and its pretty good , in the end the hardware upgrades were too good to pass up ,and im sure these guys are gonna make that phone into a ferrari in no time , any how im gonna miss my hd2 i just hope the sensation is as good as its supposed to be
+1
I'm looking to get a Samsung Galaxy S2 no other phone can compare to this beast of a phone but tragic as it might sound but it will be quite emotional when i have to sell my HD2 as in the time ive got it (since March 2010) ive done so much with it thanks to people on this forum, i still use it now but will have to sell it when i finally get a Galaxy S2.
Well guys, our device isn't getting any younger, and many of us have got new devices. In order to keep the forums cleaner this thread is meant for saying goodbye.
I've got a Nexus S, but I still have GT540 lying around, I just want to say thanks to our devs for making our device such a wonderful and interesting experience, also I want to thank everyone who helped me and answered my mostly stupid questions. I'll still visit GT540 forums but probably less often.
Again, thanks everybody!!!
Odlicna promena, nek te sluzi bolje nego gt540.

I want to say thanks to everybody developing and testing and contributing and spamming :cyclops: big thanks goes to grift and our developers, especially miroslav, your awesome work made my phone usable. I'll continue using your ROMs, they're the best.

Goodbye too
I say goodbye to the community GT540 too. I bought a Galaxy S i9000. So thanks to all the developers who keep this device alive.
I didnt want to create a new topic, so I wrote it here
hi guys,
bought a LG Optimus 2x ...
last rom i flashed to gt540 was miro's last AOSP because there is no need for swap (and an sd-card) and its stable and fast...
But know he has also left so its time to change ...
I'll randomly look into this forum, but for now I'll molest the devs in Optimus 2x-Thread
Goodbye!!!
Bye man
i got my HTC One V a few months ago. just gave my GT540 away to charity (screen was broken for the 4th time anyways , and couldnt get the motivation to fix it) still look in these forums from time to time, for nostalgia purposes i guess goodbye to you all and it's been a great 3 years
After a long time away i decided to stop in here for a while. The gt540 was my first android phone, in fact it was my first smart phone. Since then i have had galaxy s, galaxy s2, desire hd, hd2, iphone 4, 4s and 5.... In no particular order.
Learning how to root and install roms were all part of the fun and learning. It was great being part of this community.
And now i must say..... Goodbye

Goodbye if you have a little time give this old thread a short stroll
Farewell dear friends, I changed my phone with a clone dell'S3, I had fun with you and hope to meet again one day. With some of you there have been controversies, but I love you and I appreciate the work you have done for this phone, I will not forget! Thanks for everything .. bye!
I had two year with my Desire HD and loved it. It's still a good phone and I'm sorry to part with it - it's going to be my girlfriends new phone now.
So thanks to all that helped and those to have made those wonderful ROMs.
(I just need RandomBlame to come up with ICS 7.1 or 8 before I give the phone to her )
No Goodbye threads! Just imagine everyone would make one, lol.
Hello everyone !!!
As Our phone is getting older and older the world is moving on so is the smartphone world.
lets cut to the chase here.
Let this thread be a Thread where everyone can say a goodbye to one of the best sub-forums in XDA.
With truly redefining developers our phone have came a long way.
But now or some times later everyone will start falling apart.so at least here they can say Good bye and be thankful to those developers.
Let Me start this First
Thank you everyone in this lovely galaxy 3 forum.
sadly its time up for me here. but i'll be here of course to visit all the threads as i can't just forget getting into galaxy 3 forum.
Hi everyone, it's me gogozx.
I got this phone exactly 2 years ago.
I learned alot of stuff with my little Apollo.
I got Kyrillos ROM and i used it for pretty long time, and i always thought it's the best phone ever.
The phone itself was beautiful and it was pretty nice and fast.
I remember how i cried just to get it.
Then my dad bought it, it was my first Android powered device.
I loved every moment i had with it, i couldn't sleep without having it next to me.
Then, as i thought Kyrillos ROM is the only custom ROM, i went to XDA for second time in my life, just to fix my device, because i accidentally deleted system apps and i couldn't launch anything.
Then i found about something called CyanogenMod 7, and i decided to flash it,
I loved it, but i couldn't play games (CM7 alpha 8 was just released back then)
I was kinda sad that i had to go back to Kyrillos ROM, but after turning back it was 10 times smoother.
I was happy with my phone and i watched him getting new custom ROMs.
Later on i saw Mpics Ice Cream Sandwich ROM was out, bit i couldn't play games neither on that ROM but i was stunned by the new Android 4.0.
So i flashed back to Kyrillos and i could play my favorite game again l Gangstar West Coast Hustle.
I did so much stuff trying to make it work, and then i got hang of the Chainfire3D app, so it worked fine.
Then Android 4.1 was out, i remember i was waiting so long to watch it getting reviewed on strongest phone ever: Galaxy Nexus.
I adored that phone,with that huge display, it was kinda like king of phones.
So great developer named marcellusbe released CyanogenMod 10 for my cute little phone, i was so happy, and i thought to myself, why i can't be awesome like marcellusbe, kyrillos or pmanian.
I decided to go and learn everything about my phone and ROM developing, and after waiting so long and making perfect Jelly Bean ROM for my little monster i finally did it, then i decided to create myself XDA Account.
I got to that 10 posts so i could finally post my ROM, i was the happiest person when people liked my ROM, and i got so much thanked posts i even continued my ROM, and it was awesome, i tried everything to make it work as good as it can, and i made it.
Recently i got a new Google Edition Galaxy SIV, and i was so sad that i knew that i will forget this phone for couple of years, i even cried when i gave it to my sister.
So i told people from this forum that it's time for me to go away, i felt like I'm losing a good friend or something.
But anyways I'm trying now to fix the camera in my Jelly Bean ROM, i got it but the pictures couldn't be saved, but i think that i will probably give up on that, because i no longer have anything, i was so frustrated that i deleted every single Galaxy Apollo file from my PC.
Recently my best friend passed away, and my girlfriend moved away, so it's been pretty hard here.
So that's my goodbye, i hope you have read every sentence i wrote here.
By the way, I'm gonna miss you Apollo Legends (every single person on our g3 forum)

R.I.P. my g3 and good bye everyone. As my phone is broken I am moving to lg nexus4. I want to thank to all developers who worked to make our little g3 better, especially @marcellusbe, @hillbeast and @tom3q. I also wanna thank to: rkoby, kyrillos13, shwetanlal, sad96, jason-ex, twinky444, ajay.d96, pranjal, michal12 and many other developers and themers. And also thanks to whole g3 community which taught me about android and helped when needed. I will still follow this forum so I am not leaving
Sad to see so less activity in the G3 forum. I still have my little G3 with me.
I remember the days when I was just a beginner and actually joined XDA because of the G3. Yeah, those were the days of awesome activity.
I would like to say thank you to all the developers for our g3. I have moved on to the nexus 4 but I will not leave the forum. It has been a great ride, using it daily and running every possible custom rom, from such great developers, to whom I am so greatful. As I said, I will not leave the forum, but it is no longer my main phone. Thanks for such a great time
Good bye G3
Hi today is the last day with g3...i am gonna sell my g3, i dont wanna do that...but my g3 got several hardware problems, so that leave me no choice.
i am just here to say thank you for those who spend their precious time for g3 development...even though it is too old to use. i am very happy, because g3 is my first android device. and that is the reason so i can learn more about android...i always miss you.
