Thank you very much
I got a HTC hero 2 days ago myself. It also came with 1.5 so I rooted it using the root method for 1.5, created a nanodroid backup. Flashed a new radio (2.42.01.04.27) and am using the Fresh 2.1.2 rom by flipz..

FRESH rom is sweet, i put 2.0d on my girlfriends phone. its STABLE trust me. she will complain about the tiniest thing. but i haven't heard a peep out of her about that rom for at least a month. i'm sure she has NEVER rebooted it. if so you could count it on one hand. seriously they should change the name of the rom to "sprint official 2.1"
the downside is flipz got a EVO. so any forward development on that rom is going to be slim/none as far as i can tell.
damageless also is no longer deving the hero as far as i know.
this is why i recommend darchdroid. he is ACTIVELY deving this rom. everyday.

I'll take a look at that one too, thanks for your suggestions and your time guys.
Actually, I'm open to more suggestions 'bout you guys have experienced with any other rom.
i also used the AOSP 1.6 rom from here more specifically this one by gbhil. awesome rom. very very fast. like stupid fast and clean. very clean.
and yesterday i flashed Buufed 1.6 also very very sweet.
can't go wrong with any of the roms, they all have bugs. but some bother some people and some don't.
anything based of FRESH or DAMAGE CONTROL is good too if you like sense
If you want continuing support, Try either DarchDroid, or Regaw's mod, they seem to be the only two big ROM dev's with us now that the Evo is out.
Or Aloysius.

I'm looking for a stable, pure HERO ROM. What I mean by pure is no blur garbage (red colors or bouncing) or custom boot screens. Recently we've had a flood of new HERO ROM's posted by various different people. Ironically, these ROM's have had the exact same issues i.e. flash not working. Which makes me beg the questions, is there just one solid developer of these HERO ROM's and just a bunch of biters? That's neither here nor there. I just want a stable, pure HERO ROM. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ahhh man. I didn't want people's random opinions. I just want the facts. I will try akirah's out. I'm just so sick of flashing hero roms. I think i've flashed all the popular ones. We just got 3-4 new hero roms in the past day or so. Really fast, just the fact that most of them are missing flash is a huge let down. That to me is basic HERO ROM guts.

Thanks for your "help" but as I posted in the beginning of this, flash does not work in 80% of the new posted HERO Rom's. Thanks anyway.

You could wait for a leaked sholes/elcair rim that has flash 10 and android 2.O

don't you love these "opinions" saying wait for a port isn't really a solution to a hero rom problem. or is it? i don't know very much, at all. never will.
@david1171
LOL! Yeah, this akirah hero2 is working out just fine. I like the fact that you can simply upgrade the rom without wiping. It's the first hero rom i've seem to do that. Awesome!
special thanks goes out to brian_v3ntura for recommending hero2 1.51, it is what he has said in almost every hero thread, so i would imagine it to work.
Quick question: Is the problems that I was having in KingKlick's 2.0 ROM
- GPS location not working (thinking my current city was "Denver" - when I'm in AZ)
- Paid applications not showing in market/downloading
Normal of all Hero ROMs? Or should I give some of the other ones a shot?

Hello all,
I am new to this site and new to the custom ROM rooting, I not the biggest fan of android 2.1 so I looking for a new ROM, does anyone have any suggestion's on ROM's I could use for my phone and the directions, since I being new I have no idea how to root. I have the Sprint CDMA Hero, Thanks in advance and sorry for being a newbie
My favorite 1.5 rom was Fresh 1.1 accompanied by the gumbo kernel.
You'll have to do a little searching to find it though, pretty much everything has been built on 2.1 for the last few months.
Ya I notice most newer ROM's are based off 2.1 which is fine with me, I just not a fan of the andriod 2.1 update, lots of apps just run randomly, and horrible call and dial lag

Not a fan of Android 2.1? Or Sense 2.1? I'd go try darchdroid before going back to anything 1.5
+1 for DarchDroid.
Check the Stickies or the Wiki. Everything you need to Root and flash ROM's is in those.
Hello Xda Developers!
I was told to come here to post my question. I'm a Nexus One user, who is about to load Sense UI on his standard factory shipped N1. I'm going to use a guide from Anroid Central, which I'm happy with.
My question, is when it comes to chosing a ROM to load on my device. How do I know which one is the latest/greatest/safest? There are many links to Sense UI Roms on the net, and most date back to Feb 2010. Surely in 4 months a more recent version has been released than early Alpha versions.
Is there a version control site, with links/reviews anywhere, or is it just a case of download it and if it doesn't brick your handset then you found a working one.
Thanks for the advice in advance.
Jim.
Don't know if this is the best or not
but it worth a try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636048&highlight=desire
Its A port of sense ROM from Desire Phone
Which is very similar to the N1
And its build by Modaco Which is a very great person I think
I believe Modaco's is the latest. He planned on releasing a Beta but I don't think he ever did due to FroYo.
Cool, thanks for the feedback guys.

Have you tried it?
OK I've just loaded it, and it just loops on the HTC Quietly Brilliant boot up screen, any suggestions?
Wipe the phone and reflash. Make sure you have a 2.1 radio.
Thanks for the reply, can you please explain in more detail, I am a n00b to flashing phones. Thanks in advance.
Hi sorry, let me provide more information to where I'm at. I unlocked and rooted my phone. Did the backup, when I went to load the Sense UI rom, I got to the white loading screen and it looped there.
Since this I have found a FroYo Rom and have successfully loaded it. So I'm back to where I started, but at least my phone isn't a brick. I'm after a good working Rom or advice on how to get that other one to load. Many thanks in advance peeps.
Kingklick's Nexus2Desire 1.1 is the newest and fastest the I know.
Again, from recovery, wipe the phone, then install the rom.

It should be as simple as wiping everything and flashing the ROM, it really isn't that complicated.
Cool! Got it working guys. Had loads of issues using Modacos Roms, seems to be just me, but then loaded on
Release Name: KiNgxKxNexus Desire2Nexus
Release Version: 1.1
And worked like a dream, no issues at all, good speed. Yeah sorry, the instructions were clear, I was just freaking out a bit coz I thought I'd bricked my phone.
Sense is a far superior OS, except one thing which really bugs me, if you use the unlock pattern, you are forced to swipe first to unlock, which you don't on standard android, if this is the 2nd release, surely they would have fixed this by now? Any one know of any hacks to bypass this?
Thanks for all your help.
Hey guys. I'm a newbie here, so bear with me. I just rooted my CDMA Hero with this awesome little tutorial:
xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
And I just flashed my first ROM by using this package here:
xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731951
Both have gone off without a hitch, although the ROM is still loading, and its taking some time... I was a little scared, but now I feel pretty confident. I suppose my question is, I am looking to get Froyo on my Hero. The ROM I flashed showed v2.2.1 on the post, but I am under the impression that is the ROM version, not the Android Version.
Any help, direction, or suggestions?
XDA did not not suggest any similar titles to my subject, so sorry if there is a similar title somewhere, I didnt see one...
Correct, 2.2.1 is just the ROM version of NFX Hero. That still runs Sense 2.1. Currently the only way you can get 2.2 sense is with the Aria Froyo port, but Zenulator and others are building another one based off the HTC Glatia.
If you want pretty stable Froyo, try CyanogenMod 6.1.0-RC1
It doesn't have Sense, but that is not an issue for me. Might be to you.
Ok, sounds good. I'm am loving this Rom thus far.
Any ideas how I could add animated backgrounds?
Thanks so much for the response!

So, I see that there is a 2.1 update for the HTC Hero CDMA from Sprint and I'm very interested in upgrading to be able to use some of the better software out there that doesn't work on 1.5.
The thing is, I finally managed to fix this phone from a bad rooting procedure (it's a used phone, the previous owner rooted it using who-knows-what method and ROM, which caused the wifi to stop working) after spending weeks on the problem and finally have a good, fully-functional phone. So, now, I'm a bit paranoid about any rooting or upgrade procedure, though I suspect and official update from a Sprint shouldn't cause a problem.
I'm also considering doing a basic rooting (no custom ROM) so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and make a complete backup, but, again, I'm very leery about it.
Is there any possibility that rooting, in and of itself, could cause the wifi to stop working or was it that the specific ROM that was installed didn't have the right wifi driver?

Dude there are literally thousands of people running custom roms flawlessly ....taking that in to consideration, what do you think the answer to your question is? Lol for liability purposes we all have to say "there's a risk" but my 11 year old sister rooted her evo and flashed cm7 without any help

Fair enough, the custom ROM that was used must have been a crappy one.

Well we've had some that had broken wifi long ago but really you probably just could've flashed a new working kernel over it and the problem would be gone. If you wanna stay stock-ish I'd recommend fresh 2.1 but if you wanna really see it fly flash kush-deck gb. Flash the. 29 kernel after you boot and you will never regret it

Thanks, I'll check those out sometime. Have you got links for them?
Believe me, you don't want the stock Sprint 2.1 on your Hero. It's terrible. Super slow and it freezes constantly. I ran it for a short time after Sprint released it and that's when I decided to root. If I remember correctly you also can't put your apps on the SD card with it which really limits how many apps you can install.
I am running CyanogenMod 6.0 Froyo with ADW Launcher (built into the Rom) and its snappy and reliable but still has a lot of the bells and whistles. Try Beautiful Widgets and you can have a homescreen clock with animated weather just like the HTC Sense homescreen.
I tried CM 6.1.1 recently (updated froyo with new features) but it used more internal memory than 6.0 which made my phone laggy.
Be sure to get the appropriate Google apps zip file with the new Market

I managed to find some of the software I was looking for and I'm actually pretty happy to run 1.5; I actually find it quite usable.
