Guest Zeppu Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 It's everywhere on the news today, that Paul managed to load the Desire ROM to the Nexus One. Is there *any* hope that it could be somehow ported to the Hero? I really like HTC Sense and that's the only reason I haven't installed one of the vanilla roms yet. What do you guys think?

Even more interesting IMO, I've read that HTC Eris in the US is getting a new ROM including Android 2.1 and HTC Sense. Since, AFAIK, Eris has quite same hardware as Hero, I think is a good opportunity for our developers to finaly get a running Android 2.1 HERO kernel from HTC ... Please correct me if I'm wrong ...

Oh yeah you're absolutely right! Awesome, that should make it somewhat easier. I'm sure the smart people here will be able to do something for us noobs :D
Guest Higgsy Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Desire to Hero - I doubt it, The Desire and N1 are practically the same phone, which is probably why its possible

Please correct me if I'm wrong ... I think you are correct. The Droid Eris has practically the same hardware as the HTC Hero as well as an additional proximity sensor. EDIT: Beaten to it!

Guest dipje Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 The rom that 'somehow' appeared on Eris devices is clearly unfinished. Sync problems and other pretty major faults from what I've read (followed links on Engadget to read some stories). I think the Hero has more in common with the Legend than other devices. For surely the Desire! It's a complete different class! No way. NexusOne hardware basicly == HTC Desire hardware so it's easier to port. Waiting for the official Hero 2.1 update is still your best bet.
Guest Romdan Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 According to this thread http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/31...ork-eris-4.html this is the link to download Eris update http://www.pcdphones.com/downloads/ADR6200_MR2_Upgrade.zip
Guest Dr. dre Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 I think, i will let this go and wait for the official hero 2.1 ROM(the .zip from Paul).
Guest shokka9 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 shouldnt you be asking for the Legend ROM to be used and not the Desire. As somebody said earlier...The Nexus One is basically the same phone as the HTC Desire. Either way, i dont think it will happen....just wait for 2.1 to officially be rolled to the Hero. Talk about phone envy :D
Guest lmart1n Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Maybe a Legend rom could rund on hero... Only small difference of 80 MHz Core Speed and about 92mb ram!
Guest DanH48 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 According to this thread http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/31...ork-eris-4.html this is the link to download Eris update http://www.pcdphones.com/downloads/ADR6200_MR2_Upgrade.zip According to the build.prop this is a 1.5 build.
Guest cTn Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 According to the build.prop this is a 1.5 build. yap just unpacked system.img its cupcake (1.5)
Guest BrumBrum74 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Lengend rom should be out in the wild in the near future I think.
Guest MultiMartin Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 According to the build.prop this is a 1.5 build. I thought it was too good to be true. However, dsixda from xda developers has just posted this: Here is the system.img and boot.img: http://myunspace.com/?d=0BA42CF41 He says he grabbed it from the Eris 2.1 ROM's ROM Update Utility.

Guest jayw08 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Sweet, so hopefully someone will get us a ROM built :D
Guest MultiMartin Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Sweet, so hopefully someone will get us a ROM built :D I think it's a no show I'm afraid. Apparently that update is just 1.5 too! :D
Guest jayw08 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 I think it's a no show I'm afraid. Apparently that update is just 1.5 too! :D I seen a video what looked like 2.1 on it :D
Guest jayw08 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Guys is that a hero with 2.1? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUPkkrHq820
Guest MultiMartin Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 I seen a video what looked like 2.1 on it :D Sorry I meant the link I included from another forum wasn't actually the 2.1 update it was something else. Guess we will have to wait and see if anybody can port it to the GSM Hero...
Guest Blackfish Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Guys is that a hero with 2.1? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUPkkrHq820 Yes..2.1 will come in march...
Guest Ibanez33 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 I thought the update that had been updated to the eris was an accident and didn't include sense?
Guest AychTeeSee Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 If anyone can get me the 2.1 rom for Eris without sense, that makes my job a helluva lot easier making a vanilla 2.1 ROM. Andrew

HTC have confirmed that HTC Sense (2.1) will officially be released for the Hero and if past performances are to go by the Developers will get hold of an official copy before released by HTC (As he has done with the Kernel in the past!). There is no need to waste time and effort on trying to port the Desire ROM to the Hero, I personally can wait, AOSP will satisfy my "Desire" for a 2.1 experience for now. :D
