Sorry if there is a list or thread about this already. I am pretty new to the Android OS and I'm wondering what's the next thing to try with this phone.. I have rooted the phone (tested with screen print utility), now I'm just wondering what else I can do with this rooted beast.

Well, did you flash a recovery image?
I am going to bit the bait...First of all I know nothing about android, what a recovery image is or for, or such.
Anyways, I followed directions, and believe I have flashed a recovery...how can I tell? this is what I followed.

Well, if you didnt receive any errors then just type in reboot recovery in adb shell or shut the phone off and then hold in the home button and the power button. The phone should reboot with the htc logo and then it will load recovery. Once in recovery you can do a nandroid backup which will create a complete image of the phone. This is good in case anything goes wrong with any future changes. You can also partition the sd card to prepare it for apps2sd. And finally when roms are created you can flash the new roms with the recovery image.

Thor, there's a number of threads that talk about rooting now.
There's a step by step guide in this forum, and in the android development section of the hero area on the forums there's another that talks about the "one click" method that's been setup for us (flashrec). If you go to theunlockr.com ( http://theunlockr.com/2009/11/07/how-to-root-your-cdma-htc-hero-sprint-verizon/ ) and follow instructions there, it will also walk you through it.
It can take a moment but taking the time to do a bunch of research and looking around at both the past GSM hero rooting as well as the new CDMA rooting will ultimately answer a lot of questions that might otherwise come up.
I'm assuming wifi tethering does not yet work on the rooted CDMA Hero.

I think there is an app for changing led colors. As for new roms, I am working on one. I am brand new to rom development so I may be quitting that side of things soon but we will have to see. I am basically just trying to merge the CDMA parts of our hero with Modaco's GSM hero rom. If I can do that then maybe I can port other things. Like I said, we'll see.
yea i just rooted my hero im still trying to get app2sd to work do you happen to know what app it is?
can someone see if the setcpu or overclock widget works?
yea they work as far as i know i downloaded them and it all works so yea

1) root the device and turn s=off. Threads in the development section
2) visit the Cyanogen mod CM7 thread
[sent via Cyanogen powered Android]
Root your phone via one of the many available methods although the gfree has seemed to have some issues. I'd recommend visionary method. Once you have root and have S-off install Rom manager via the market and flash clockwork (and correct me if I'm wrong as I get confused a lot with recoveries build #'s lol) mod recovery version 2.5.1.2, 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6. 3.0.0.6 is the best available currently. After flashing clockwork in Rom manager (its the first thing that pops up) scroll to download Rom and download cyanogen mod 7 rc4 from that menu. (You will have finished downloading the rom and have booted into recovery by now) MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE PRECEDING. Then Wipe data and cache via recovery and then go to install zip via SD card then choose it again find the .zip file for cm7 and hit install. It WILL take awhile to install. After it finishes reboot. Again this will take awhile. Once it comes up, wait 3 minutes or so then reboot. Then set up and your good to go. Once you've done that its basically rinse repeat for other roms. But remember to read the roms flashing instructions before hand as it may have some wacky process for flashing. Good luck!

Not to nitpick, but 3.0.2.4 is the latest version. It just came out the other day, so that's probably why you're not aware.
EDIT: To the OP, like neidlinger said, your first step is to root. This is the guide I followed and it works great: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858021.

Once you're finished with that tutorial, you'll be rooted and have a custom recovery installed. At that point, create a Nandroid backup, and then wipe all three items in the recovery menu and install the custom ROM. There is no direct Nexus S port to the MT4G, but CM7 and RoyalGinger are essentially the same thing, and in fact better, so check those out in the dev section.

And yet you posted in the wrong forum and didn't give us any information to go off (hint, there's a Q&A forum).
So, what did you flash and how, with what options and what messages did you get at all points along the way?
yeah apologies i was in a rush. im rtying to gert it set up and its different from HTC.
i just used the oden and 1 click root. i havent flashed one as of yet because im trying to get CWM bootloader installed on my phone.
so i downloaded the bootloader off the app and flashed it and it said everything was fine. then i tried to reboot into recovery and its just the normal blue samsung bootloader
it said failed installation and it was aborted

Samsung is a bit different from htc, flashed a desire hd of a friend recently and also had to get used to the differences especially in rooting procedure then
The easyiest way to root and get recovery on a samsung galaxy phone is to just flash a custom kernel (e.g. Cf-root) via odin. They come along with cwm already. So actually a lot easier then on a HTC were you have to do two steps
Rom manager doesnt work for me either on galaxy s 2 when it comes to cwm flash.

....When in ROM Manager, click on the first item that says "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery"..that'll get you a recovery, to make a backup, and to flash a new ROM. And to bring it to stock, the stock ROMs are here, just choose 2.2.1 or 2.3.4, then flash in recovery, or rename to PD15IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader, sorry I forgot which one when flashing stock. FLASHING STOCK WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR ROOT! If you want rooted GB, gohere! Good luck!

Also for an custom ROM try my UltraBeam GB

Make sure your phones on USB debugging mode
after that put the usb from your computer to your phone
and do a reboot after that, then while in the reboot make sure RUU is opened and skip all that, then it'll say that RUU is being installed, please wait for 10 minutes. Although it's quicker than 10 minutes

It's not an RUU problem.
You've did this part wrong.
Make sure your usb debugging is on, although make sure phone is OFF!
Run RUU and skip all the reading, it'll say waiting for device. Quickly on your phone! at the same time RUN RUU and on phone!
It will then show that it worked, then you'd click an option, which is install the RUU
Then wait for 10 mins, then you're done!
Hope this helps
