New ROM Hero should be available

According to a Dutch site, Mobilyz.com, the new Hero ROM should be released. The only thing is that I cannot find the ROM.

The article can be found here:

Maybe you have more luck
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Conduction:
The update is coming in march, it is posted here on the forum in the 2.1 topic.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Soaa-:
Nice find. I hope it's legit.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tembares:
The article said it IS available. Click link for a English translation of the site:

I did a quick search and found out on this site http://www.connexie.nl/actueel/2928...tml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

that they are referring to the update wich is planned in march :( I think mobylize gave it his own twist in order to get hits or something.

Google is je vriend tembares ;) goed gevonden anyways.

Google is your friend tembares ;) nice find anyways
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Soaa-:
Oh, lame. Lying to get hits. Shame on Mobilyz?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stea1thmode:
I see what you mean, its slightly misleading. It reads' The update to Android 2.1 is available for the HTC Hero. But doesn't explicitly say ' now ' The only indication is 15th Feb.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] grassiekuik:
that is at least my guess. And like tembares said. It says it IS available on mobilyz
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Jesterz:
No thats the date for the pink hero.... and i'm merging this thread, it's getting out of hand with double posts...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
Can't say anything more about it then that mobilyz is wrong, sorry.

The source tweakers.net frontpage (which isn't a gossip site at all) used is this:

http://www.whizpr.nl/persberichten/6679

and that is an official press-statement collection site. It's an official benelux press statement that the pink hero will be available on provider Hi starting feb 15th, and that 'media maart' (translated 'somewhere in march') the 2.1 update for the Hero will be available.

The statement is made by Mark Moons, Regional Director HTC Benelux. Sounds like the very fist _official_ statement - non rumour - that we got.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Waza_Be:
Journalist are crazy and telling lies everywhere...

In a french newspaper from taday:

Original here

In french:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tsekh501:
Plurk is Taiwan's Twitter, and that's official HTC account. That statement is an official announcement, but the fact is that it doesn't say much.

The message (I am a Chinese, so I don't have to rely on Google translate) says

The Hero Android 2.1 update schedule will be announced next week.

The keyword is schedule. It doesn't say that the update will be available next week.

HTC is going to announce several handsets with Android 2.1 at the MWC next week, so they are going to show off the new Sense on Android 2.1 anyway. The thing is, it may end up something like: "These are the new features, and we are still working on it. It will be available sometime in March/April/May and a update for Hero will also be available at that time."
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BelugaHval:
Baah. Howcome its taking so long. Last month the lies were that the 2.1 update would come in februar
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wywywywy:
What we need is someone going to MWC, borrowing a unit from HTC for handsons/reviews/whatevers, then dumping the ROM :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Arkymedes:
we have pink hero here in france since the start... when i bought mine in december it was there to choose. o.O

Have you seen this guys ?

Prepare our hero´s :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Exit93:
Can't wait :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
Damn cant watch that video in the UK. The pinch zoom on the on-screen is great I use it on villan Rom all the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] G8D:
Someone needs to use DownloadHelper to download this video and up it to YT or Vimeo so UK residents can view it..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] FunkTrooper:
Why would the UK of all places be blocked from viewing a video... weird.

I wonder if the owner of that phone has any interest in dumping the ROM. That would be quite nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
Not to bring everyone down, but it's not like this is an official HTC video. XDA members have been running 2.1 on their Heroes since what... December? This video really means nothing to us. We already knew that the Hero is getting 2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] saar73:
do you know someone who runs OFFICAL htc 2.1 on hero? i dont :o
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JBNAquatics:
I don't know bout you guys but why does that noob in the video have the official 2.1 ROM for the Hero...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZED_pt:
My thoughts exactly...not even smart enough to make a video...almost 7 minutes of nothing,a tilted camera and poor skills using a touch screen...

Nice find dough.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
No, I sure don't, and that includes the guy in this video, as far as I can tell.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JBNAquatics:
Actually that might be the official ROM cause there's some stuff that I haven't seen yet like that word keyboard recognition. Since the ROM is, supposedly, going to be release in about a month, I wouldn't doubt any ROM video out there with new stuff running on it...unless it's totally bogus like having a death ray shooting through the headphone jack.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] piotrreq:
It might be some beta of official HTC rom - "pith to zoom" is very smooth, much smother then on vanillain.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Jesterz:
merged (yet again) two thread about 2.1, this is the development part of the forum, use the general area for stuff like this.

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deeren:
obviously, it is a far much better leak than the ones our dev have here on xda or htcpedia...

first impressions:

1- this is the first 2.1 rom we see with the normal usual curved lockscreen.

2- not one FC even when setup is being done

3- was it me or did i see coloured icons in the menu settings?

4- best of all was the handwriting recognition...wow. didnt see this feature till now!!!

i guess this was a custom rom cause we can see the dev tools icon in the menu but imo this is so far the closest leak to the official rom i guess. hope our dev can get a hold on that one. what would help is that someone( chinese or somebody who understand) to try to read the site on his computer from which he was scrolling and downloading in the first mins of the video
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
Can someone put this vid onto a souce where uk users can watch?

Does the ROM upgrade on the HTC website in Jan/Feb have 2.1?

http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all

If not... what does it have? I'm on T-Mobile so I'm not sure if I can update.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Given that the title of this thread is "2.1 ROM coming mid march", the answer is no! ;)

The two most recent updates are just carrier specific versions of 2.73, which you probably already have.

when will HTC stop repeating what they are saying from last year ("you will get an update") and give us some date information?! We already knew that htc hero will get an update...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] daniel_owen_uk:
Indeed, could anyone point me to an official source that mentions when the release will be (not slashgear or rons phones in poland etc.)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
Stated in other threads, of even the start of this one:

http://www.whizpr.nl/persberichten/6679

Dutch official press statement coming from HTC Benelux CEO, saying it will be march, but they are not sure enough yet to say which day in march. So expect the 31st to hold your impatience under control.

This was the first _official_ statement about the update, and it was released on the 9th of february. Before that it were only rumours, unofficial twitter pages and or people with leaked ROMs making guesses.

At the MWC they are still saying 'march', so that means they can't give a real date yet. That is how it works in software development. Stop bashing and be glad that your almost-year-old-phone still gets a major overhaul.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah but HTC Benelux spokesperson isn't an official statement for me...a real official statement would have to be from HTC HQ....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
'Regional Director' doesn't sound like a spokesperson, but who knows. But you're not getting a global worldwide announcement other than what is said at MWC: It's coming in march, period.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] daniel_owen_uk:
So what you are saying, is that your official link is actually some obscure dutch page (not HTC nl or anything).

And they announced that 2.1 was coming before HTC officially said at MWC?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
no..

it's a dutch press-statement site. Got listed on numerous tech sites and engadget shortly thereafter. That 2.1 was coming was 'implied' for a long time, people were guessing Q1 2010, or february 2010. HTC Benelux said halfway february that it will be released in march.

And before people start yelling 'they postpone it everytime', no. This was the first time indication given by HTC itself.

And yes, it was 7 days before MWC. Sounds like the time the MWC demonstration schedule was internally passed along at HTC.

The site doesn't announce it themselves. They copy & pasted the press-statement released by HTC that day.

If you don't believe that, it's not worth my time trying to explain it to you.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] daniel_owen_uk:
It's not about me not believing you, I asked if someone could point me to the official press release, you pointed me to a site supposedly reporting on an official press release.

They are not the same thing.

Heck anyone could say "we have heard from HTC officially it will the 17th of march", that's not an official statement.

And even that Dutch PR site avoid quoting Mr Mark Moons, Regional Director Benelux HTC, saying anything about march at all!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
fair enough...

but (kinda offtopic) what would be a good reading somewhere? If it was said on the HTC site itself if I read you, because every other site would always be referencing. So you wanna hear it from an HTC employee _yourself_ or read it on _the_ HTC site yourself :).

I don't think both are going to happen :).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] daniel_owen_uk:
I think HTC will announce it on their twitter page, and I think that will be the first time we officially hear a date, the rest imo is just guess work :)

The latest news about Hero 2.1-rom update.

Based on the HTC Taiwan Plurk, (www(dot)plurk(dot)com/HTCHERO). The official Hero 2.1 update will be released before the end of April.

Original text:HTC為消費者提供更好的服務,將於四月底前透過無線更新的方式,將HTC Hero 升級為Android 2.1版本,並同時升級新版HTC SENSE Experience之支援服務

Google trasnlate: HTC to provide better services for consumers will be the end of April before the updates through the wireless way, HTC Hero upgraded to Android 2.1 version, and upgrades at the same time a new version of HTC SENSE Experience of Support Services.

Acturally, we have already known 2.1 ROM coming mid march already. So this information means nothing new.

Hey, do u guys have the anserws to theese questions?

1. I want to choose for how long the green lamp, which indicates "new message/sms", shall blink. Now the option is "grey" and it's set to 5minutes. But you can't change the time. What should I do to set the time?

2. I've tried all the pre-installed keyboards that comes with the phone. But I'm not really happy with it. One must, is that it should contain the charachters "åäö" (a swedish keyboard).

3. Can I set the vibrator to a personal setting? Like now, if I get a sms/message, my phone only vibrate once. Which is really hard to notice, when I got it in my pocket. So can I somehow make it vibrate more?

4. And how do I get my "sms-wordlist" to work?! Everytime I add a diffrent word in my "sms-wordlist" it disappear a time later. Which is really enoying. How do I fix it?

Thx for answering!

There have been posts elsewhere on the Forum on all the issues you raise - for example http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=606212.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a thread very recently about changing the vibration settings - if I did a search, I'm sure I could find it in a couple of minutes. Someone's responded to your question about keyboards - and, on adding words to T9's dictionary, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=557320&highlight=T9+words+adding might help.

Usually, for most of the niggling issues, there is either a simple setting change (which may involve adding/changing registry keys) or CABs that can be downloaded and tried. Take a look - there's a wealth of material here waiting to be searched!

Hello,

I have a lil problem. I tried to install Zenonia on my HD2 and it didn't work...

I tried to install it on many roms but each time, zenonia didn't boot...

I tried everthing (soft reset after install, install on sd or device, install net framework 3.5 messages...)

2 days ago, i flashed Pandora 1.4 and the game worked..But after i flashed Pandora 1.5, the game didn't work anymore... :(

So, if this game works sometimes on some roms, there is probably something to do...

Any idea ???

Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] yarod_g14:
Dodgy

All in all I am a bit piss$d off about this.

I bought Zennonia for my touch pro2 on Windows market place.

Great game bashed it for ages.

Then got my HD2. Logged into windows market place. Game doesnt show.

WTF I couldnt download it to my new phone.

Log in on Touch pro 2 and voila it shows.

I am screwing.

So I had to get an older hacked version which plays fine (1.4). But I was forced to scour dodgy net scenes to get a freeby. I am not happy at all. So I uninstalled it and now wont play it.

I am going to complain as the market place says up to 5 devices. I had actually removed the game from my Touch pr 2 as well.

This is a good reason why I wont be using windows Market place again.

If anyone can offer advise as to why it doesnt appear I would be gratefull.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xZdenis:
Have you tried microsoft customer service and support? I'm sure they would be able to help you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NZtechfreak:
You can get Zenonia from Handango, thats what I did. It now also shows in my Marketplace, but its more expensive than via Handango anyways.

It works for me, but I installed it twice and then restarted the phone before it would run.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sonydesouza:
Nobody can help me ??? :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] yarod_g14:
Do you get multi touch on this?

Is it V1.5?

Or still 1.4?

Kind regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:
I have realized that I can run the game only straight after softreset. If I run any other app and then try to run Zenonia the game will not launch.

So my advise is do a softreset and after that try to run the game.

BTW, before doing softreset, delete the file that the game produce from root directory of your device(DxState.sav).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] marasp:
on my hd2 in marketplace Zenonia is available but version 1.3 which obviously is older...maybe that is the problem...newer version must have issues with hd2 that is why they let us have the older one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phaedrus Nine:
I downloaded this a while ago, great game. But I couldn't close it. Had to reset device to close it. Become rather annoying so uninstalled it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Rizzen:
you can close it with the taskmanager.

Then you can't start it again. Only after a softreset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phaedrus Nine:
Yeah that was it. Been a while since I've bothered with it. Either way, bit of a mess about for a game that cost me 6 quid or so.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sonydesouza:
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!! :D

It work again ! I found solution after some debate with people !!!!

With some taskbar, the game doesn't work...
