A developer on the G1 forum has made data and allathat work on his port of froyo! i hope the same can be done soon on this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
yea. btw theres no point downloading yet, robin is stil uloading as i type, so it wont install yet. patience is a virtue :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
TYPO

...........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ibanez33:
Cool.. it'll be fun to try even if nothing works.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robin04:
yes, you're right, a little patience.

I have a slow connection :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] madsborelli:
Linpack score of this rom guys? :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
I didnt say that Froyo wont run on the Hero, I just think by the time it does itll be too late.....as in most people will have moved on from the Hero. Like you said though well see...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrdahu:
Do anybody can clearly explain to me why we cannot use the Eclair's drivers on Froyo?

I still don't get it :

Android is based on linux, on linux, drivers are attached to the kernel (build-in or as module). We already have a fully functional 2.6.29 kernel with all Hero's drivers (the Eclair kernel from HTC). Why we cannot run Froyo with this kernel and Eclair drivers?

Thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FloFri:
Froyo needs a newer kernel (don't know exactly, which one, think about 2.6.32) and the driver have to be build for this specific kernel. So it is not possible (or only with hacks) to use 2.6.29 drivers on a 2.6.32 kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Long story short: android kernel is very different from linux kernel. It comes stuffed only with basic system services like memory management, process management, security, network. Its phone manufacturer who provides with all the necessary drivers for hardware. Until we wont have working froyo from HTC there wont be any way to make it fully work on Hero.

You can read more here to know what is android

P.S. Some devs correct me if I'm wrong. Have not touched linux since 2002 :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] getbacker:
In connection to Froyo for HTC Devices

Htcpedia had an article stating "Froyo for HTC Desire on June 23rd"...I guess XDA Devs would then be able to let one out for Hero.

That would be amazing :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Are the Desire's drivers compatible with the Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Android kernel is not that different from vanilla. It has just replaced some frameworks, e.g security framework which is one of the reasons why it has been criticized by many kernel developers.

It is pretty obvious that the hardware vendor (HTC) needs to provide the drivers for their hardware.

Some skilled guys could easily port the drivers from 2.6.27 or 2.6.29 to 2.6.32. The API changes in the linux kernel are very well documented and the rest can be traced from source, as the sourcecode of the android kernel is opensourced as well. We just need someone who ports the drivers to 2.6.32. Should not be a big task, otherwise the kernel developers would have to adjust every kernel in the driver before every release. They just need to be compiled WITH the kernel source, that's it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
No,desire drivers are same as nexus i believe (not positive though) think they both use snapdragon proccessor...we need eris or legend to get 2.2 for an easier port i think MSM7K Turbo CPU
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
A previous poster mentioned that the MyTouch 3G was getting Froyo. If I'm not mistaken, the MyTouch 3G's hardware is the same or similar to the Hero. Hopefully that means good things for us.

Then again, the G1 also has "similar" hardware, and that didn't do us any good with 2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wywywywy:
I don't think we have source of the drivers though, do we?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/kernel_hero_0078c992.tar.bz2

I think it's 2.6.27, but it should contain the necessary drivers...

And we have a more current one posted here in the forums.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sc0rpp:
When comes out froyo where works also wifi and sd-card?? i dont gear bluetooth :) only wnat to use wifi and sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:

Guys please don't push this....let the devs take their own time to release a fully functional Froyo Rom fr HTC hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fleming222:
Thanks fot the great work, keep it up, major respect!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
been a really long time since i flashed a ROM and i want to try this?

any warnings or things i should know about?

is this 2.2 usable or not at all?

is anyone using this officially??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
anybody...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mikeytjee:
read first post dude
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
just flashed it.

previously mentioned things dont work.

will wait for another person to zip one for us.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
hey who can port the cdma hero aosp froyo?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -2y2k-:
looks like everyone is busy lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arasthel:
Well, I only made it bootable. The funny thing is, mic is working, everything else, isn't lol - no touchscreen support, for example, and it uses roaming T-T. I almost don't have porting knowledge, only made a bootable boot.img...

By the way, is there any ROM porting tutorial? I'd really appreciate if someone could give me a link.

Well, here is the ROM:

http://www.multiupload.com/DH8KYLQKHE - IT'S NOT AOSP, IT'S A PORT FROM CDMA'S ONE.

EDIT: Ooops, sorry, my mistake. This was a CDMA version port ^^u
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bihariel:
but it works on gsm hero or not?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arasthel:
It does work, but you won't be able to use it (unless you get used to not use the touchscreen). Maybe some experienced devs can make it work 100%.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bigmarcouk:
this is crazy man ~ cant believe my eyes , anyway , great job and I would like to wait more time for the "fixed one" release... thx so much m8 !

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
nice to hear! been playing with the "official" cyan 6 port's nightly builds, very promising, but I want to see what you can do with this :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
we all are slaves of flashing... We didn't buy this phone for calling, did we? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
yea, and im sure therell be loads of dev's instantly starting work on this (i hope nprussel and his crew take a look in. theyre some talented guys).

Im also gonna do some tests (im getting pretty experienced in rom development and android coding now) :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robin04:
it's true .... in fact, as I wrote in the first post at the moment is only useful to have a look

people, a little patience :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zygame:
You got it,good job.

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
can people be patient? how can we know or take a linpack score for it when its not uploaded?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dan96815:
How big is it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
how big is it???

So I can start to download as soon I see it's full :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
in the same minute :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
lol. and 74mb. i think robins finished uploading (dont quote me though)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dan96815:
yep ready to download!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robin04:
confirm, has finished loading :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
73.6MB is not the full (I think)

It writes that there is a problem with the zip

Recovery writes: E:Can't open /sdcard....zip

(bad)

anybody else get this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
then you downloaded before robin was finished i think.

edit: no i was wrong, password protected apparently accrding to betterzip. perhaps corruption tho cos so many of you couldnt wait for robin to give it away, or a bad download by me nd you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
confirmed error with zip dloaded 4 times
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robin04:
sorry guys, but I had a problem with the ftp server.

I have to recharge :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
could you upload to multiupload?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the^one123:
hi,

same here zip file is corrupt.

btw: thx robin for this. nice to see hero running android 2.2

theone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
ohh dw. soon as you finish it ill create a rapidshare mirror too. should take some of the heat off once ya got it done :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robin04:
I'm charging at this time on multiupload
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 100le:
Great job! Can't wait to see... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Just curious... would it be possible to take the new Launcher from this port and use it on a 2.1 ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spooke:
Was waiting for someone to start on a Froyo rom for Hero :P

Thanks robin04
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
i think it depends on how launcher was written. It may need a massive amount of recoding, or simply just a modification of dependencies. However, it may not work right or at all ever.

Just me tlaking though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enatefox:
What's the difference between this and Zenulator's? I'm trying to keep track of the ROMs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saymyname:
thx in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robyrocker89:
dopotutto è italiano...

sei un grande...ti stimo!!! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spooke:
What is Zenulator's rom?? Can you show me please? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
CDMA version i think
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
http://androidspin.com/2010/05/23/rom-zenulator-n1-froyo-frf50-port-release-1-for-htc-hero-cdma/

it's cdma, this one is gsm.

his DATA WORKS, this one doesn't. but both are unusable, just really really cool and fun LoL

I'm very curious about speed tests and running apps you install from sd via usb. how's all of the stuff RUNNING on these babies??

does this gsm one also have the voice problem where calls work but they can't hear you (I think that's what the cdma version claims is the problem)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
no one knows because its not up yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Damn! you still uploading it?

I have already ported and flashed it it in the time its taken to upload it :D

Best Regards,

ST1Cl<^^aN
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enatefox:
Ok thanks, didn't check this was for GSM. I was just curious as these ROMs are popping up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ericlin0122:
soon htc hero gonna rock!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
has anyone got a link? i wanna play! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stickman89:
Already got my port booted...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spooke:
What works and what doesnt? Same as this rom?? Thanks ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dan96815:
Where did you download?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Stickman - Is your site down or has it moved? I can't get to it at the mo?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spooke:
He made the port himself, read a few posts up from here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robin04:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
have you not seen his multiupload links?

Also just flashed Robin its brilliant! tiny bit of lag, but its epic. I got some ideas on fixing wifi, so im gonna try it out and see if i get anywhere fixin it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
it's still corrupt
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ibanez33:
Yup getting the same thing on both re-dowloading from the original link and the alternative one...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
its fine from megaupload on multiupload. try that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
cheers pal
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
heh heh, even though I'm not flashing it, I'm downloading it just because it's so cool!

wifi would be great - data is nice but wifi is good enough for now. if voice/audio can be solved then it's actually a useful phone???? wouldn't that be amazing???

froyo on a frickin hero?

I wonder if the lag is just how it's gonna be on the hero or if it's actually going to get faster with time? Just thinking, since it's probably optimized for different processors than what's in our lowly hero, it might not be as uber quick on our phones as it is on the appropriate hardware.

this is total speculation though on my part. thinking, asking, wondering, discussing. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spooke:
Can someone write up a list of what works and what doesnt? Like calls etc.

I will flash this asoon as Phone and Wifi or Data is working :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] janvandusschoten:
Looking good, but wifi not working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Swiftwork:
Anyone tested it yet? Does it live up to the 450% speed increase (yes I know it is only a very early alpha:p). Linpack scores? Also does the camera work nicely?

/Swiftwork
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docertabum:
is it only me that even calling isn't possible? Just asking :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EbiEre:
After applying the Zip my Hero just boots to the "Hero" logo and then reboot... hm...

What is wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] willo142:
same here...did everything the install said, my own port boots up properly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dyfren:
I did not expect Froyo so soon on Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rhamsterman:
Well, that was fun, some lovely features, but...........

I've quenched my curiosity, I'll wait now for a working one.

(wait eagerly, that is)

Is it ready yet?

Is it ready yet?

HMMM? Hmmm? Hmmm?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
Fun to try, thanks.

Shows how far the vanilla Android has come this year, it kind of reminds me of custom launcher versions of 2.1 we've been using recently.

We had a precious few months of calm late last year when we were running the latest version of Android -1.5 Ever since last december it's been a busy time and I think I've flashed my phone 50+ times easily.

So I'm looking forward to all the Froyo fun coming soon( Google, release it to GIT now please !!!) :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rner:
What is strange, Linpack score is the same in this ROM (3.0 MFLOPS), as well as softweq benchbark (200 CPU).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rudgia:
cant get this to work :

it can find simcard

the UI is fuc up

and can't play music
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
Ive already made a few tweaks to this. simcard works for me after a change and my wifi no longer gives error message and appears to turn on, but doesnt find networks.

If simcard doesnt work for you, i replaced the file in lib/modules wlan.ko with one from a 2.1 vanilla rom. it shouldnt make any difference, but for some reason did for me :S Also as in previous roms, methinks wlan.ko holds the answer to workin wifi
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpooXter:
I don't know anything about android but I have a question. If jit is workinng on this Froyo build then as I heard it will now be possible to put Sense on it without it causing force closes. But can a developer kindaaa get the jit from froyo and put it on an Eclair so that Sense can work with jit or is it impossible. Sorry for asking stupid questions...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rudgia:
can i push it thru adb ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
downloading to try tonite, cool stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
dont see why not buddy. Personally i decompressed robins froyo and made a few changes, with the wlan.ko in that, but id think thatll work too

fyi: thats no fix guaruntee, but it worked for me, cos it seems to vary for everyone (some cant install it, but i could for example)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rudgia:
can i unzip it and make changes then zip it again and flash it or do i need do sign it someway?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dormantlemon:
ohh and a more detailed list of what works:

Works:

Trackball

Vibrate (but only upon shutdown, calls and texts=no)

simcard

adding extra apps to the rom=fine

airplane mode (well nowt works anyways, so it should ;D)

Doesnt work:

Vibrate (for everything cept shutdown)

sound (in all cases

wifi

bluetooth

data

camera (but try it, its soooo funkyy!!!!!!!!!!)

untested by me:

calls (ie microphone)

it has NO lag though now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mardurhack:
@Androbin: This explains why you should wait for final release to cook! :P

http://www.tuttoandroid.net/android...-release-finale-prossimamente-7323/#more-7323

If you port from N1 you're excluding a lot of Froyo's features...This was a prerelease...A sort of test.. :( We must wait until the final version has been released otherwise we will have an incomplete Froyo!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
incomplete froyo is better than non froyo at all :-)

no?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mardurhack:
-_-'' I know...I'm just warning everybody not to expect all the features from THIS version of Froyo... robin could learn a lot by porting from N1 but we'll never get a complete Froyo until the final release is...well...released...

By the way: tried it...smooth but a little bit buggy...Sure a GIANT step for all of us...forgotten Hero users! :P

EDIT: And I have 2 more messages than you! XD Because of it only what

I

say is

THE TRUTH

! O_o AUGH!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] attn1:
Will data work if you restore APN with APN backup & restore? CDMA does not use APN, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I would think someone has tried that already... or at least entering it manually should work too in that case.

Maybe that's all that's wrong, people aren't setting up the apn. if so, please someone try setting up this rom properly like you would any new rom on a blank unconfigured phone.

I'm not running this since I actually use my phone though so I can't try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] attn1:
Is there a place in CDMA port to enter APN? If you use apn backup and restore, setting up apn can be done even without apn settings availabe in gui. fast and dirty way to add correct apn to new roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ahmed001:
-very fast!!!!

-Radiant Working smoothly....

- Linpack Score about 2.4.... not so good..

- NeoCore not working...

- Can listen audio in calls

- mic not working..

plz develope quick.....

cant wait......

thx so much.........

Good start, let's see what developers make of it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ibanez33:

CDMA ?????:mad::mad::mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
it was fun to run it :)

even if it was only 5 mins, because I had to restore nand, to answer a call

If microphone would work I could test it a little longer...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sayyouwill:
Is it 5 times faster than android 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
the OP post clearly stats that this is for gsm, in addition this rom is in the gsm hero section, in other word ALL roms in this forum is for gsm, thats the entire point of having a separate forum for the gsm and the cdma hero

Thx Robin, sooo cool to have a chance to test froyo even if incomplete for now.

Always nice to see we can rely on a strong community!
