Don't ***** about H and how long it's taking. I am sure H is just as excited as us to get a STABLE, usable build. Thanks for the work H.

Back on subject. I saw a leaked picture of a pink "Hero" but haven't seen any confirmed pictures or info. Is this the ACTUAL phone?
[G1 General] mr2man07:
http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/g3_htc_hero_1-620x389.jpg

theres a picture i saw on a few gadget sites.

Also, as far as the new Rosie UI, a guy that commented on androidcommunity.com article might have something here. He said that they might be releasing it soon in order to keep interest in android considering the new Palm Pre and iPhone is going to be out in June. This makes a lot of sense to me as Google and HTC and others don't want these 2 other phones to grab all of the attention.
[G1 General] blakestimac:
sad to see this place so empty. when the hero rom drops, you think that more people are going to be rushing to root their phones?
[G1 General] CBowley:
That would be nice if there was an otau and it was just the new UI. :) That would bring a lot of buzz. I notice a lot of device that are half as powerful as our devices get a lot more attention. Doesn't make sense to me.

Anyway that was the image I was refering to. I just haven't heard any confirmed releases or images or anything.
[G1 General] wendee:
of course we are all waiting on the Hero rom
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Ya there will be a large influx of people wanting to know how to root. So the day this rom drops, the mods will probably need to be on standby and have their lock buttons ready. There will be so many people with so many topics being made "my device wont boot" or "how do you flash the image" or "what is root? how do i get it!" " who is haykuro?" etc :)

Looking back at Haykuros tweets, i see that on the 17th he said that Google apps were up and running on the Hero rom. I'm no expert on watermark removal, but that may be one of the final things left and hopefully we'll have a Hero rom in a few days :)
[G1 General] froggg:
HK has been busy with the magic, giving them a rooted rom. He also said he will only do over seas roms from know on to eliminate competition
[G1 General] NingDynasty:
I believe he said foreign roms, not overseas roms. Foreign as it not originally from the Dream... like the Hero ;)
[G1 General] Six6Sicks:
Still bricked Wendee?
[G1 General] metaphormer:
NO. they are not
[G1 General] metaphormer:
Yes, there functions are in the Hero Rom.
[G1 General] Ooglez:
No. The Hero build is cupcake. Since the Android SDK hasn't changed, no devs will have to change anything. We shouldn't have to worry about that until Donut, which will be a while.
[G1 General] stogchris81:
I don't believe there is any reason to believe they wouldn't be.
[G1 General] a_m_jacobs:
And how do you know this, when the rest of us aren't doing much more than speculating?

Also, on the 17th, HK said that he just had to remove the watermarks. Anyone know how long that might take? He is a master of marketing, that's for sure
[G1 General] metaphormer:
I dont know, i dont fully understand what full fledged apps are.
[G1 General] metaphormer:
I know.

I know.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Oh no I'm in danger, this wild dog is attacking me. Haykuro, send the Hero!!! Quickly before its too late!!!!

It was worth a try:(
[G1 General] blakestimac:
i really want him to release the rom in a very cheesy way, say, like, "I can be your hero baby."
[G1 General] metaphormer:
Here, Confirmed!
[G1 General] m00b3rt:
how'd you get that?
[G1 General] metaphormer:
Here, Confirmed!

Name Search

Number Search
[G1 General] mr2man07:
All i know is that Facebook link to Contacts is bad ass and looks very easy and smooth. Well HTC, you didn't make the perfect phone for us yet, but you're making it up by providing a new bad ass interface.
[G1 General] DVS_Sokar:
Ok Links work now =)
[G1 General] m00b3rt:
how did you get that?!
[G1 General] DVS_Sokar:
Meta:

Since it appears you already have teh build at least for testing purposes. Did you have to flash Haykuro's Special SPL to get it to work or would it have worked on HardSPL?
[G1 General] metaphormer:
Yes, i put 2 links but it showed one image.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Great not only do we have to bow down to Haykuro but now metaphormer? :p
[G1 General] metaphormer:
Yes, it is required as i was told.
[G1 General] dpgc213:
the build u have, does it have the rosie ui? cheers
[G1 General] a_m_jacobs:
Ok, Meta;

you are clearly in the know about something we are not. Could you give us some details? Release timeline maybe?
[G1 General] m00b3rt:
oooh. we have an insider.

-bows down-
[G1 General] metaphormer:
No rosie ui.
[G1 General] DMaverick50:
wondering if i have the proper spl

This is what my phone says:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HSPL10.95.3000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Is there a more recent spl required for Haykuro's stuff? Could I install Haykuro's recent build as well as Hero? thanks
[G1 General] dpgc213:
thanks, one more question. is the rom u have the latest haykuro build of the hero rom or have you had it a while now? thanks again
[G1 General] metaphormer:
Some new functions, that's about it.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Right now its just Haykuros recently release SPL. If you have that then you are pretty much at the same level as most of us that flashed it...
[G1 General] DMaverick50:
thanks, so this would be the one that some people have had some problems with recently?
[G1 General] metaphormer:
i've had it for a few days
[G1 General] m00b3rt:
i want rosie. :(
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Now i'm refreshing this page every minute now to see if theres a rom uploaded. damnt the shhhh threads happening all over again:(

Metaphormer, are all of the watermarks removed and is the build near release? Or atleast from what you know?
[G1 General] blakestimac:
i dont think you need to worry about getting rosie. even if it takes alot longer to get rosie, once manufacturers see this, they will throw their own spin of rosie into the mix. i believe that rosie will be the standard UI by android 2.0, if not sooner to grab the attention of would be pre, iphone, etc phones potential buyers. rosie is just alot of eye candy, but thats what most end users are looking for, not functionality.

dont get me wrong, i want it badly too. but its coming.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Come on meta you can't come in here showing off your Hero rom and leave us out in the cold! We've been out in the cold for like 4+ days now!:(
[G1 General] wendee:
wat n u not sharing eitha omg i want that rom so baddddd:mad:
[G1 General] npace:
Time for a new thread?

While at it, might need to start up a new developer's forum.

Someone sneezes over here, and 1000 people reply "wtfomgbbq, pls install on my phone now coz dis **** iz da ****."
[G1 General] DVS_Sokar:
Since the post are from a user with The Rom on his phone that do pertain to this thread.. however your Post does not. Please delete the content of your post.
[G1 General] wizern23:
how did you get him to give it to you?
[G1 General] AustinKnight45:
i've had it for a few days

Ya where did you get this from hook us up sharing is caring :)
[G1 General] m00b3rt:
don't we all want to know?

rofl.
[G1 General] robpet2:
so hows the test coming on this hero rom....

waiting patiently for the release
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
Warning

Guys, I would urge caution here. Metaphormer has precisely 11 posts all in this thread and while that in itself means nothing it should raise an alert flag. His posts have all been short and, to quote him "i dont fully understand what full fledged apps are."

These do not read like the posts of someone who has the rom. I would be happy to be proved wrong and even suggest a test. If these pics are real then he obviously has screenshot capability, therefore i sugest snapshot of the phone settings which we can compare with the haykuro video.
[G1 General] N3xt2N0N3:
Waiting Patiently follow me on twitter people...link is in my signature
[G1 General] ynghova187:
i think his pics are real because his phone is charging in all of the other pics prior to his the phone wasnt charging
[G1 General] m00b3rt:
he's probably real.
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
Well I've sent a PM to the main man asking for confirmation. He may well be real, but he may have gotten the rom from an illicit source, ie from someone who H sent the rom to for testing (who should not be sharing). He also may be someone we know, posting under an alias. Time will tell.
[G1 General] metaphormer:
lol, my posts were short but i did answered all questions. i dont need to write an essay to prove i have the g3 rom. and i dont know "someone who has the rom" would post like, maybe someone with g3 rom show me and i can follow.
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
I'm not trying to be rude, it's just I've been on too many forums and seen to many fakers, to accept anything at face value. If you are genuine, then no offence was meant.

If you could put some flesh on the bare bones you have given us it might help.
[G1 General] superGOAT:
If all of you go back and read his posts you will see that all short an somewhat to the point. You will also notice that he doesnt speak english very well, a perfect example of this is that he doesnt know what "full apps are". After putting all this together it leads me to believe (only speculation of course) that he is from the chinese site. And that haykuro did not give him the rom but xdan did. Which is why he doesnt have the new ui. Becuase it's an older build.
[G1 General] haykuro:
metaphormer was NOT given the hero rom to test by me.

If he actually does have it, which is very unlikely, someone must have leaked it to him.

But no worries.. the build he has (as you guys saw) has no rosie, and was thrown together in a matter of minutes. (it's usable, but missing too much to be used as a stable release).

I have a newer build that wasn't released for testing (only a couple people have it [the android gods]) that is much more complete.

I have PMed metaphormer questioning if he does have the rom, to prove it, and if he can prove it, who gave it to him.
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
Thanks for dropping by and clearing that up Haykuro. Any chance of a progress report on the Build?
[G1 General] haykuro:
sorry guys, i've been sworn to secrecy for the latest stuff. (which is why no mention has been made)

have to wait until i get something a little less classified that i could show you.
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
Ok, thanks for letting us know that at least. Guess we just go back to waiting.
[G1 General] haykuro:
with school letting out next week though, i will have time to give you guys some nice roms :) (no, this is not a release date for the hero rom. :rolleyes:)

i'll see what happens. but today is strictly for homework haha (i got distracted yesterday with various android related projects).
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
I've told you before young man, homework first, Android second. Don't screw up your future. Plenty of time to work on Android when you graduate and go work for Google.:D
[G1 General] a_m_jacobs:
^^agreed

Homework>hero, by far. Take it from a former high school slacker.

Big thanks for all your hard work.
[G1 General] Joushou:
Yeah, homework is more important... but i think he's smart enough to know that :)

... but i want the hero (NOT G3) rom D':

Well, let's just wait...
[G1 General] thelamacmdr:
Hmm I'm now kind of confused...is the hero rom (w/o rosie) a mod made by HTC, a release that's part of the cupcake branch or the beginning of the donut branch. Also, if we do receive it in the near future what happens to app compatibility, would it be the same as if we had teh 1.5 update or would we lose some of our favorite apps? (Sorry for my ignorance...)
[G1 General] blakestimac:
nah it's not donut. you will keep your apps because its 1.5, just modded.
[G1 General] thelamacmdr:
Ah ok just was wondering..with all these rom's and people telling you false info. it's getting harder to tell =(
[G1 General] berish:
heres something interesting: http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/htc-lancaster-is-a-qwerty-slider-with-android-for-atandt/

look at the first thing under top selling points. sound familiar?
[G1 General] diaztradeinc:
I just wish hero was never mentioned until there was a build that we can use lol. All this waiting is driving me crazy. I am running away from xda for a while hopefully wen i get bak we'll have somethin lol.

Just Kidding!! I cant be away from xda not even more then a minute lol
[G1 General] diaztradeinc:
Can we have that old hero rom to hold us over Haykuro? I wouldnt mind messing with a early pre alpha release. :D
[G1 General] :
Haykuro i know this is a big ask but do you think you could possibly upload the browser.apk with the flash plugin :o
[G1 General] DVS_Sokar:
I to am sad to say that I wish that we were not told about it till a viable rom was available. I am going to work on improving my Graphic Design skill. Because they are rough around edges. I will keep an eye on Haykuro's Twitter via my phone but won't update the thread til Haykuro post information of some significance.
[G1 General] berish:
oh hush. the man deserves to have his fun.

besides, anticipation is way more fun than actually getting the thing.
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
Yes, it would also have done wonders for Haykuro's reputation to keep it under wraps till it was ready. Obviously he would have had to let some people in on it, so that it got a good testing, but can you imagine if he had just showed up one day and posted "I've got a mod of the Hero for the G1, anyone want it?"
[G1 General] N3xt2N0N3:
Ha Ha me too. My skills are up there but much need of improvement. Plus I may start making themes*

Take a look at my website in my signature.
[G1 General] blakestimac:
i'd still love the incomplete version of the first rom, even if it somehow didnt let the phone work. out of a 1000 minutes, i used only 4 last month. i just want some of that browser goodness.
[G1 General] superGOAT:
If you guys actually payed attention to what he has said you would know that the pre-alpha builds do not have working flash. And why make him work on an older build to get flash working just so you kids shutup about it. I guess we need to give up on the hero rom considering he said that he can't release it.
[G1 General] froggg:
I call bull****.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
bull**** on what?
[G1 General] blakestimac:
forgive me not losing sleep for this thread. in either case, i just want a build flash or not.
[G1 General] DVS_Sokar:
I am more interested in the New UI elements and social Networking Components then Flash to be honest with you. If I could get my hands on a build with Rosie and Social networked enabled that would be good enough for me.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
+1 new interface and social network > flash imo. I have a pc for flash videos, its just another bragging right for android :p
[G1 General] no6969el:
agreed about the social networking and interface. Flash is a def plus.. but i remember how anxious i was to get a youtube app since the main reason (at that time) was to view those vids.. now i have it.. and i never use it..LOL

I dont mind waiting for hero.. i just would like it better if what he sees at night.. we can too. Just more pictures and maybe updates on what issues he is running into.. i mean this is all open source right.. lets make it open to everyone to look at.. I thought that was the point with this stuff.
[G1 General] blakestimac:
It may be alittle longer now, that he is working with the magic. He just released a new rom for it. Wish i had a magic too so i would have something to distract me.

To stay on topic, anyone know if he is working on a hero rom for the magic
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Edited in respect of Haykuro.
[G1 General] l3wish:
I must agree with you..
[G1 General] doooshty:
The Magic ROM he released isnt "new" as far as I understand. It's simply the 6.0H we already have, just for Magic/Sapphire users.

Not to sound like an ass, but I would be grateful for what you get whenever you get it. For anyone to feel as if the should have priority over anyone else in this matter is ridiculous.

Say that Haykuro decides to release the Hero ROM for the Magic/Sapphire first because they both lack a physical keyboard and there is less work involved. Should he hold off because there are MORE G1 owners? No...and you would have no right to complain about it.

The only one who is OWED anything is Haykuro. You owe him your thanks. You owe him your patience. If he chooses to port the Hero ROM to TouchPro first, he can.

People need to get over this sence of entitlement. The only thing you are owed as a G1 owner is the software Google gives you.

You are not owed root.

You are not owed Sapphire/Magic Ports.

You are not owed Hero Ports.

Enjoy what you have and let the kid work in he kid work in peace.

We'll get it when we get it.

That is all.:cool:
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Point taken. Maybe I was just jealous that Haykuro was cheating on us dream owners! lol jk trying to lighten the mood.

Anyway.... thanks for slapping that sense into me. I've been so caught up on when this thing is going to be released and forgot my manners. I will wait in line:)
[G1 General] DVS_Sokar:
Listen Guys.. I made this Thread to talk about ONLY the Hero rom. Not flame each other or take a moral stand about a developer. Take that crap to PM. If you aren't talking about the hero rom in this thread you need to learn how to read.
[G1 General] twistedumbrella:
Just to clarify... the Hero build IS easier to port as it DOES have a keyboard, but on the same token HTC is not even done building it. It still lacks some core components. While Haykuro may be good at what he does he can't exactly be expected to make entire programs that will just fit in place of ones that weren't released yet. Programs yes, but system programs no. It is hard enough to add feautures but when they are partially there it is a long process to guess how to add missing parts in a way that fits properly into what is there already.
[G1 General] tontonHD:
OMG flash? where??? I think I just jizzed my pants
[G1 General] Jrbourque:
not trying to disrespect at all but please dont start that on this thread too
[G1 General] doooshty:
I appologize for the confusion. I was under the impression that as long as the post had SOMETHING to do with the Hero ROM it would be ok to post it here. You should probably be a little more specific.

Maybe you could post the ratio of the word "Hero" to other words.

Such as "You must mention "Hero" once for every eight "non-hero" words.

This would atleast keep people on topic.

You could also require all sentences to have the word "hero" in them...

Too many loop holes though. Such as, "Hero you doing today?" or "Could you speak up, I couldn't Hero you". We wouldnt want that.

Is this considered on topic or not? I've mentioned the word "Hero" atleast 7 times...make that 8.

There is another option though, you could relax and stop trying to earn yourself a promotion to the Chief of the On-Topic Police Department, thus causing me to act like a major douche.

I'm not good at many things, however I excel at being an asshole.

So maybe, just maybe, next time you could cut someone some slack.

It's not like I wasted half a page on a pointless rant is it?:rolleyes:
[G1 General] blakestimac:
sorry dubs post
[G1 General] doooshty:
ATTENTION!! You are responding to a post that was not on topic.
[G1 General] blakestimac:
I am ever thankful. I only asked if anyone knew if H was working on a hero rom for the magic.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
That post above made my day. You are my hero:D
[G1 General] doooshty:
The hero first portion hero was directed hero at you. Not the hero second.
[G1 General] doooshty:
ATTENTION!!! You are responding to a post that was in response to a post that was not on topic. Please refrain from continuing these practices.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
You listen hero meow, we don't like your policing kind around hero.
[G1 General] Jrbourque:
I've been out of town for the past four days with no technology what so ever. Soo whats the latest word about whats going on with hero?
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Edited: People didn't understand it was a joke and not real
[G1 General] doooshty:
Not much new...Haykuro, is sworn to secrecy on the subject.

He gets out of school for the summer soon and will have more ROM time then.
[G1 General] Jrbourque:
well at least we know that we will get it thats cool
[G1 General] DMaverick50:
Doooshty you're my Hero
[G1 General] tontonHD:
jeez!!!!1!!11 what is so special about this thread? I mean its useless there is already another post.
[G1 General] AndroidAutobot:
You mean "excel"? =) grammar might not be one of those things you "accel" at =) no offense intended man. Your post actually made me laugh pretty hard =) just couldn't help but give you **** because the irony was too funny to me.

But to make sure I'm staying on topic here. I just read someone saying we were THREE or FOUR months away from getting the Hero ROM? Is this really an accurate estimation??? If so where did y'all hear this? This is disheatening news to me =(
[G1 General] AndroidAutobot:
This thread was created for those of us who were absolutely sick of completely off-topic saphire posts in the "shh" thread and only wanted information about the Hero ROM. Id most certainly like to keep it that way as well
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Lol that 3-4 months away was a joke intended for jborque because he said he was out of town and I was trying to give him a scare.:p
[G1 General] rantrav:
"off-topic" police report

To add another off-topic post here:

Maybe once the ROM comes out a "HERO" thread could be made. Until that day comes people will talk about whatever comes to mind....it is the way of the threads.. If someone can find me a thread where EVERYONE stayed on topic I would be completely surprised. So as I have mentioned in other threads: People will complain and then people will complain about the people who were originally complaining and so on... To quote a movie "..the internet has given everybody in the world a voice...and they use this voice to complain...." or something like that! SO let us think about this for a moment...hmmm... whenever someone puts something off-topic here you wish to add another "off-topic" post to try and correct their mistake which in turn leads to at least 3-4 other "off-topic" posts about this shi....stuff. Lets all be civil and we will make a great thread about hero once it come out until then people are going to speculate and/or get into "off-topic" conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with the 3-4 month wait that we are all now apparently going to endure.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Dude don't quote me and spread a rumor about the 3-4 month wait haha. It was a JOKE, and only Haykuro and the "android gods" know the release date.
[G1 General] CBowley:
Please pm the person that goes off topic, please do not clutter this thread with "that was off topic". Thank you. :)
[G1 General] Wisefire:
So, Hero looks pretty rad. Although it's kind of annoying, I'm constantly checking the forums and twitter for updates! Lol.
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
Im pretty certain that nothing will be happeming for the next week, so you may as well kick back then check in in a weeks time.
[G1 General] l3wish:
I want some hero!!!!!!!
[G1 General] jspookss:
They say that a Herooo can save us, I'm not gonna stand in the waaaayyy
