Saturday would be a good choice. They don't have to answer all the "omg whine" emails straightaway and in the weekends people usually have more time to mikimaus around a bit before panicing.

Looking forward to it and hoping this happens at 02.04.

Dear xxxxx,

Some of the phones in our Android line up including your Hero are due to receive an upgrade, and it is scheduled to be released starting at the end of April. Your phone should be upgraded Over-The-Air. You can expect a pop-up message on your phone when connected to the internet once it is ready. When the upgrade is ready, we will notify you via our website and on various social media networks including Twitter and Face book.

Best regards,

And you think updating a rom on the Hero is rocket science? :confused: I've had more than one Windows mobile phone, but updating my hero is even easier then windows once you got the recovery image installed (which is also a little effort).

You can backup and flash a new rom in the train without even being connected to a PC..

never before we have had so many confirmations from so many different HTC or other sources, we can really be very sure now. even if some of them are fake, we have enough to believe. for some regions it may take a little longer, so it may be in may.

I may actually look into cooking my own ROMs once this comes out. More for my personal interest than anything, but it'd also be nice to use a ROM from my own provider.

I know exactly what you mean, I've been contacting HTC every week about the update (I'll probably be the first to get it just to get rid of me - lol) and this was the first time I got a reply without any word like "should" or "it is going to" etc. this time it was saying "it was scheduled" - which is different.

Is live wallpapers gonna be able when you use HTC sence 7 screens? Wondering :o
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
I doubt it. I've seen evidence to suggest that the 2.1 Sense will support live wallpapers, but I'm pretty sure they're leaving it out of lower-end devices like the Hero. It'll probably show up on the Desire and other powerful phones.

That being said, our awesome devs may get that enabled for us... I just wouldn't count on this feature being in the official ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
afaik the desire does have live wallpapers, while the legend doesn't, although they seem to be running the same sense UI. therefore I don't think it will be enabled on Hero^^.

but maybe if you use home switcher to open the Android default launcher app, it will work at least there. and as wallpaper changes in default launcher also affect the sense wallpaper (at least on my G2), maybe you can select them on this way.

who needs nonesense features like live wallpapers anyway...The world is better off without them. it was a sad sight to see Google market this as Killer Feature on Nexus One.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheSmokingAndroid:
I personally think live wallpapers are kinda cool but I do see your point, they are over rated. Im wondering if the HTC will give the Hero live wallpapers in 2.1, I have read a few different articles that the Hero's hardware can't support it...

Sent from my HTC Hero using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I suspect that the main issue with the live wallpapers is that many of them are probably using OpenGL ES 2.0 and Hero only supports OpenGL ES 1.1.

HTC
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nukleuzN:
Well now there is only one day left to wait. After that we are plotting a new date. My suggestion is 17.may. Anybody agree? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] GhostSeven:
Just got this from HTC UK in response to my email about release dates.

Hi ******, thanks for your email.

There have indeed been very many rumours and supposed leaks which has not exactly been ideal. However at present, the update is timed to begin rolling out at the end of this month. I believe they are also trying to set it up to be sent out OTA, which would probably explain part of the delay as we did not have an OTA server before...the magics and G1s were updated from Google's OTA servers. But obviously they won't update non-vanilla devices.

Best regards,
