I'd start with posting in the correct forum: development instead of themes and apps.
That said, I'm very happy with Froyo 2.2.1 (released dec 13).

Did you wipe everything in recovery mode before installing the rom?
If you're not familiar with rom install steps, follow the steps in the guide posted in the development forum.

It depends on which you binds good. For me I use floyo 1.2 rom. But you may give a try for froyodvillain 1.7(I think).
and here is somewhere a chinese rom, which is also good too but it may be abit difficult for you to understand that things as you are new to this things..
hope this helps you
Thanks guys going to try froyo 2.2.1 think I need to to look into this abit more though lolz.. what's the radio updates I keep hearing about?

I'd start with telling him to post in the real correct section, which we all know is general, or even Q&A
I use FroydVillain 1.7.2, but if you want speed, just flash flykernel 12 on your current ROM and it should be rapid.
I put froyo 2.1.1 on my phone and wiped everything including my nandroid back up is there any way I can get it back? Froyo is amazing may I add lol.. can I create a backup image of this rom instead?

no, if you deleted your nandroid, that ROM is gone forever
Yep, just reboot into recovery, and select 'Backup/Restore' and then 'Nand Backup'

There is a Radio thread in the dev section, where you can flash the newest radio versions. As to what it does.. im not entirely sure myself its supposed to improve phone reception i think.
But make sure you flash the correct type of radio... There is GSM or CMDA. Make sure u know which is the correct one for you!

I was hoping someone could answer a simple question that after researching isn't obviously stated anywhere I've looked.(forums slowing down? yeah, because I've been using the search religiously for days) so let's get down to it.
concerning flashing 2.1 based ROMs onto a rooted sprint cdma htc hero that is running 1.5-
in the new Wiki page of roms for the cdma htc hero, there are two main lists, one for 1.5 ROMs, and another for 2.1 ROMs.
all I want to know is can I flash 2.1 based ROMs on my phone that is running 1.5?
silly question, but I don't want to brick my phone by trying to apply a ROM that isn't compatible with my phone. a simple yes, or no is all I'm looking for.
thanks in advance, and please don't judge, I'm new to this, and want to simply avoid mistakes.

Give us more info please. Are you rooted? What ROM, kernel, apps installed, etc?
I flashed cyanogen 6.0 with RA armory 1.7. And then flashed Google apps and here I am. Sorry about the lack of info; didn't want to include to many irrelevant details.

Because the flash lite that allowed you to was part of sense and there is no sense in cm6

Ok, Papa Smurf put together a really good ROM, I'm just such a noob its killing me. All of the Jargon involved in this is very far over my head. whenever one of you guys say any technical term, i literally have to go look the word up. Rooting for most people with a working brain is a cakewalk. That wasn't the case for me. But i stuck in there and got it done.
Then it came time to install the ROM. I looked through the thread that he posted the ROM and never found any real directions. I'm sure this is due to the fact that everyone has enough sense to figure it out on their own.
What i did was went to the ROM manager and installed the ROM, then re-started my phone. it stuck on the htc screen for a minute then the droid eye thing came up and that kept looping. Soo, according to what I understood from the directions....i took the battery out and put it back in. The first problem I am having is how to turn my phone back on now. It's not even recognizing that the charger is plugged in. The second thing i need is for someone to give me any type of directions on hoe to do this the right way. I dont know how to flash the jit file either.
I'm sure i sound like a fool but thats what i am. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who tries to help me.
I got my phone restored back to the way it was before I tried to install the ROM. I just need to get the ROM installed.
I got it I guess. I just restarted my phone about ten times and it eventually took... a red eye popped up and it said "droid" over and over like it has been doing. Then the rotary lock screen came up and i started to set up my phone. but after i finished it went right back to the eye thing. Is it because of the JIT.ZIP file not being installed right?
That's pretty old. Why not try a nice 2.2 or 2.3 based rom? 2.1 is so... old.

I'm a nube. Which one do you suggest? I figured out how to do it right. I just want something stable.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Cm7 or aospmod both are fine choices for non sense roms. Not real sure about sense roms, though. LiquidSense, maybe? Remember to wipe everything before you flash a new rom. Dalvik, cache, data all need it when flashing a new one. More than likely, that is what is causing your boot loops. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all were new once. Btw, I said "hard on"! *Beavis laugh*

Sounds like you may have not done a wipe before you installed the ROM?
I follow the procedure from the CM wiki (because that's the first ROM I flashed)...

If you want Stable, Try LiquidSense even though its 2.1 its Fast!
If you want a Mostly Stable 2.2 Sense ROM, Search My ExpressoEnergyHeroc Thread.... I Think You'd Like it!!!

I followed these instructions and when I reboot it hangs at the HTC screen. I pulled the battery, waited 1 min. still hangs. I wiped and reinstalled and same results.. any ideas what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks, Ted O
I wiped it, just not good enough apparently. I eventually. Got it working it just wasn't working as well as it looked. I'm gonna try the 2.2 that was suggested.

I used rom manager and wiped Everything three Times. It still didn't run like I thought it would. Pretty sure it wasn't my fault after that.

Thanks Hud.. I'll keep trying as I need 2 android 2.2 for my blueant car kit to work properly.
Just to clarify, I haven't flashed your 2.2 yet. I was still referring to the red dawn rom. If I flash your rom I will I be able to run adw? Probally not right?

What recovery are you using? If it isn't RA, then I can't tell you. I would assume the dalvik wipe would be somewhere around the other wipe options.

What am I doing wrong or what is a good rom for cdma hero..
Thanks, Ted O.
I'm interested in non-sense roms.

I have just rooted my htc hero, and want to change my themes.
Where can i download them from and how to use them
Thanks
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
From the HTC hero themes section of the forums, the section you posted in. Most themes will have install instructions in the thread.
Get ninjamorph and metamorph free from the market, they're easy to pick up the hang of and will allow you to take the best bits of themes and make your own.
Hope this helps
Thanks for your reply i have these apps but i apparently need to flash part of the theme on some "guides" do you know what this is about ?
Thanks

When you have to flash a theme, you first have make sure this theme is for your phone and Rom.
For example: When you have CyanogenMod 6.1; you can use theme's for CyanogenMod 6.1.
I think you have only rooted your phone. You haven't flash a rom. In that case, you're on stock 2.1 Android, with Sense.

I recently tried to bring my G1 back from the grave but, unfortunately it seems to not resurrect. I upgraded to the GB and since then I have not been able to use my Touch Interface! It will boot, it will get to the "Touch Android", but i only can use my trackpad to select options.
i know i hate this, ive had a few g1s like this and it is so annoying that you cant just highlight with trackball! when this happens i replace the digitizer and its fixed.
if anyone else has a good idea how to skip this, other then deleting the start up wizard from the rom of choice id love to know
So you think its the digitizer?. I think its the kernal that I have flashed I had two G1s' flashed the sameRom on both and the same incident! Any takers on this?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
so you are saying everyone who flashed the same rom as you now has a useless touchscreen? i kinda doubt it, maybe im wrong here but i cant imagine a kernel causing the digitizer to stop working when the rest of the rom is fine. there are easy ways of testing your theory you know...
Like? Let me guess install a different Rom and kernal?
