[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] will65mcmanus:
is this for the gsm hero ? also how do you flash the root part do you do it as a update ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Owdy:
There should be bunch of new languages, but i dont find any extra langs more thant there was in 1.5. ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Visios:
yes its for gsm. I have allready a rooted phone with a special recovery part. If I boot this with home + power on, I can wipe data and then select a zip file as update to install.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xangma:
Haha, didn't even wipe coming from VR 10.3.2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
i'm going to try to install this instead of the asian 2.1 soon without a wipe and see what happens :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EDA-One:
The official update came in two parts. Do I have to flash part 1 before I flash this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Isn't there a new radio somewhere as well from these updates? I flashed this ROM but my radio is still the same.. I'm on 63.18.55.06OH_63.15.01 from the Taiwan ROM. I see screenshots of a 63.15.11, or 63.15.14 floating around. Am I not on the newest?

Hi,

I'm new to rooting. I had update my hero to singapore 2.1 OTA. Can I just install the update.zip to get root?

anyone tried this on an Orange branded HTC Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mgillespie:
Time to vent...

Why do people use such crappy file hosting?

Radpidshare/Megaupload does not work on the android browser, and is blocked by lots of companies/ISP.

Why not use MediaFire? at least it has half decent speeds, and works on Android.

As for the mirror? It seems to be hosted on a 56k modem, it's estimating over 2 weeks to complete the download. Seriously, do offer mirroring, unless you know your site can handle it, otherwise you are wasting not only your time, but everyones else's too...

I've already wasted 2 flashes so far from people that claimed to have perfectly working rooted stock kernels, one didn't even boot, and one that doesn't have working wifi...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
I would like to say well done for doing this. :D It has been a great learning curve for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shoq1:
i'm fine with RS. :D

flashed and everything works like a charm. much faster than stock 1.5 rom and even faster than some vanilla 2.1 roms.

now i'll install overclock widget and check how long the battery lasts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
Is this supposed to update my radio also?

My radio firmware is still 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bunt83:
Flashed, everything's working fine.

Thanks Lox!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevin-sc:
hei guy,how about app2sd?how can i enable it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
No that was only to allow them to make sure the upgrade can be pushed. You have to flash this using the recovery mehod.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Visios:
he uploaded it to 9!!! hosterst. I downloaded it from megaupload without a premium account with 3MB per s in few seconds!. If you work in a company where it is blocked... hey do it at home... this guy have done good work, its not his problem ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] getbacker:
Lox this is amazing.. love the rom.

Just 1 request.. is it possible to get apps2SD to work on this rom... need it a lot:)

So, I assume everything is working perfect with this rooted 2.1 stock ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Visios:
till now it works perfect. However, I havent testet that much.

(Root, wlan, camera and busybox work).

I havnt updated the radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mgillespie:
Working here. This clearly IS the method to use, rather than the rushed out botch-jobs looking for 1st to the post-fame.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] will65mcmanus:
thats a bit harsh on the people who are trying to help us
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bugeyes:
yep! rooted of course ;)

this really rocks!!!!

beeb player is now clear and smooth over wifi!!!! woooooot!!!!!!!!

JUST DONT FLASH IT OVER EZHERO!!!! you really need to wipe first else it goes a bit wrong!

oh i seem to have lost apps from the market too!!!

glad i backed em all up!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
Do you know how many hours I sat at the pc with coffees/water/tea/biscuits to get it working.

Myself and 42turkeys spent around 7 hours last night and when I was at work today I spent 6 7 hours again!!!! So please give the people a break! It's obveous things won't fully work especially when you have to get people to test and feedback! So remember that in the future when it comes to software.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
You have no idea how long me & andrewb84uk spent on this last night, all that was left to do was to change the update-script (Sorry about that :o ) + some other stuff.

Why don't you try and root it... :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
Just installed it! Feels good but here and there it lags, apart from that serious fast especially the keyboard! Although the linpack are not very high +- 3,200 mflops..

Hi

Installed this, works fine but the slingplayer i paid $29.99 for last week not in the market.

Put villainrom back on and its on there.

Any market issues with this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] h4ckii:
Installed this ROM. No problems.

If I want to install the root file, do I install it the same way as I installed the ROM?

Boot phone up in recovery mode and install root file from SD card?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mgillespie:
About 1/100th the amount of hours that various people wasted on theser "fully working 2.1 roms" that either fail to boot or fail to have wifi.

This is why nobody really wants custom roms, as custom == broken.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Davith:
Dude, if that's what you think, then what are you doing on XDA in the first place? And who's this 'nobody' you're talking about?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
This is mine & andrewb84uk's first go at ROM Developing, if you don't appreciate our hard work last night to get the base for other rom devs, please go away. :)

It works now anyway...

And I'm guessing that the 32 thousand + views we got yesterday on the rom thread is just nobody then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snefkens:
Did somebody add flash or did htc upgrade their flash player to 10.1? Because flash 10.1 is working perfectly, no need to install froyo anymore! Great work htc, and you guys thanks for rooting! Htc ROM is still the best with root offcourse
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] neoian1277:
Thanks alot working perfect here fast and everything working good job :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
So what are you doing here on XDA Forums? Your a user that should just get the OTA and forget about anything else.

Ask everyone else if they get ROMS working 100% first time. Not very many unless it's tested properly, even HTC get it wrong sometimes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
If I flash the Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R ROM from "htcpedia" forum,

can I flash back to another custom rom,which based on Android 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
I cannot get ADB to work on my home PC any more either... Do we need to get updated USB drivers or something?

(EDIT) It seems ADB will not find the phone unless in HTC Sync mode now... I never had this problem on any other ROMS before... Anybody else have this issue?

(EDIT2) Sorry I am retarded... USB Debugging is apparently OFF by default... Make sure you turn it on. It is required for SU prompts to not hang, and accessing ADB without going into HTC Sync mode.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] herofan:
Thank you so much Lox_Dev!!

It works perfectly for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frederikk:
Hi,

just to be sure : is it a rom, complete one, which will wipe my phone in 1.5 stock rom, or is it an update to official 2.1, which will do quite the same as the ota update available nowadays, but giving me the possibility to have root ?

Ciao

Fred
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrooden:
Sadly I have some problems.

The ROM boots, but com.htc.launcher (Sense) force closes always :-(

Catlog shows lots of SQLite errors during update (column not found etc).

The FC also relates to SQL error: "column lockscreen_wallpaper not found" or something.

I did not wipe Data, only cache, to keep my settings, even switched the scene to default "HTC" before upgrading. Tried multiple times.

Can anybody help me? Or do I really have to WIPE and restore everthing from Titanium / MyBackup?

Great ROM, working fine on my unbranded hero, just looking for confirmatoin that it works for Orange UK users too? Im assuming it does?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msiviter:
I'm waiting for my missus to give me her Orange UK Hero to upgrade, I suspect you'll have to 'Goldcard' it though to get a custom bootloader on it if you've done the official Orange upgrades. It will depend on what's on your phone at the moment how easy it is.

Give it a try following the noob guides and post your results. Good luck.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
Well, thanks a lot for this ROM.

It works fine, no problems so far.

The only disappointment comes from HTC side because of the cut features: Backup and friendstream. At least those are the ones that I noted.

Any further missing features? Did you see something comparing to the Desire/Legent ROMs?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
I really don't understand why backup / friendstream wasn't added. Alough I don't think I will miss them somehow!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Azure465:
The "copy text" thing in the browser is also missing. Where you can choose from Wikipedia, google translate and coy text
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Netblade.nl:
Could it be that RTSP doesn't work in this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
Can confirm this too. Makes me think the update OTA is not yet complete. Might be a third update? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
We wished..:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -rev-:
Thanks for putting this ROM out so fast. I put on last night and so far so good. It's far quicker than the 2.1 ROM I was using before. I've not played with it too much yet but I have noticed one or two things missing. Friendstream for example although that wouldn't bother me too much. It seems to have vastly improved receiption on my phone a well. Before at my desk at work I'd only ever get a low Edge signal. Now it's a reasonable 3G signal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stephan537:
Everyone makes mistakes, that right. Because of this developers usually test their software to minimize the risk for their customers. Andrew and turkey did not enough testing because non-working wlan would be a very standard test.

The consequence was that a lot of people wasted their time with this ROM and are frustated after that. I waited to see the comments in the thread if it really worked. Glad I did. 30.000 viewers? That's about 20.000 people who were disappointed.

Andrew and turkey give after that some invalid arguments to which I will answer here.

1. "If you don't like it, do it yourself." - You can critesize a software even if you are not a developer! What would you say if Apple came up with this argument? This is a childish argument.

2. "We spend so much time in it." - This is not a quality statement. You cannot publish a software if it does not work correctly even if you spend weeks on it! That's not your customer's fault and you must accept that most people are primarely interested in the product and not how much effort you had to put in. Stop whining. Remember that you put a donate button in your post.

3. "Why are you here on XDA?" - I assume most people interested in the ROM wanted simply a working rooted 2.1 ROM. That's what this forum is for and what was promised in the thread. Never blame the user!

Sorry for being a bit rude. I hope you both are willingly to learn from your mistakes with your first ROM. You were just too excited which I can understand and rushed the development longing for the being first fame. So keep up with your good work but be realistic to the others about what they can exspect. A lot of people here are willingly to test "beta" versions for you. As an example see the test version that Villain published. Please use the words "stable" and "working" only after thorough testing by you and your testers.

What parameter do I have to put in market enabler to see my paid apps in france?

:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I'm dreadfully sorry to have inconvinced you.

I'll try harder next time...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LlamaLlamaLamp:
Is there any advantage to flashing this ROM over andrew and turkey's ROM?

As far as I can tell the only(main?) difference is that Lox put the additional apps into 'data/apps', and andrew/turkey removed the apps and asks that you download and add them later to 'system/apps'.

Any reason I should pick one over the other?

Cheers for the work btw.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
In all honesty... who really expects things like wlan to break on an HTC Rom though. I for one don't mind trying out a rom and letting devs know when stuff doesn't work. If it interferes with usefulness I will go back to a nandroid.

I think they both did a pretty awesome job, and even when stuff doesn't work, they seemed to remedy it very quickly. Aside from that I give them props for being able to do ANY of this stuff at all, cause I sure can't do it myself, and if I had to I'd be having much less fun with my android phone..:D

@Llama, as far as I know, there is no other critical difference. They are pretty much both basic straight rooted HTC roms unlike Villain 11.9 where they have modded some other stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shiverson:
I have problems with G-Sensor, dont have a calibrate option in settings and using bubble it seems that not work. I calibrate it, then i left and kill bubble and then i go in again and settings seems to be saved but if i play teeter ball moves up and left in a plain surface. ¿Any solution?

I wipe everything (including rotate) and then i flash this rom and root.

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idroid84:
I can't beleive you said that! I did it because I wanted it to work and it did on my phone!. I tested everything on my phone (which worked) therefor I released it. Then users said thing's didn't work. So I had to 'redo' everything that I had started that took me 6-7 hours again! Yes, you were rude considering it was your first post. I had to do this ROM along with looking after family and going to work! Next time make one yourself! The testers are the XDA community! If they want a simple working ROM wait for the release officially and get it via suitable channels. /rant over.

@nomnompie correct... @Llama, there is no other critical difference. Except I just took it stock, modified, removed few apps and let users decide if they want to install them or not (Downloads are smaller slightly). The other person started adding other mods to it, which I never.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fakemail1uk:
Same question from myself too. I have a 3UK handset still running the original 1.5 firmware it came with. I assume I need to make a gold card too as i'll be going from 3 branded firmware to 2.1? Also can i flash this straight over the original 1.5? Or do I need to update to the official 2.1 before I can flash this rooted one?

Looking at the comments this does seem to be the best generic 2.1 wwe rom out there!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Eddie1506:
Well, lookie look, there really is no G-sensor calibration option in the menus. Didn't notice it before, but now that you mention it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Hmm, I did not wipe coming from 42turkey's Taiwan rooted 2.1, and I do not see calibration either.. Just to make sure I'm not being a doofis, where in the menus is it supposed to be again?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenchi0205:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Owdy:
Flash both files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LlamaLlamaLamp:
I just noticed that Quick office is missing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
Nope! It is there... I am using it with this ROM. Indeed, fully wiped before flashing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LlamaLlamaLamp:
hmm, thats weird. I also just noticed You Tube is gone too. I also did a full wipe. Did you do a factory restore/wipe from recovery after you had flashed the two ROM updates? I wonder if that had anything to do with it?

It's a perfect ROM apart from that. It seems HTC really put in some hard work into it. It's so freaking fast!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
I did not wipe after flashing the two ROMs from recovery. If you wipe after flashing then it will remove Youtube, Maps and Quickoffice. This is because LoxDev moved these three apps to /data/app.

This is from LoxDev release post: "I have only moved youtube.apk, maps.apk and quickoffice.apk to /data/app because the rom uses about 100% of /system partition"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LlamaLlamaLamp:
Cool, thought that probably had something to do with it. Time to do one last flash. Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
How do we get em back then? I only miss YouTube and QuickOffice cause I got maps from the market (I assume that maps.apk is the Google Maps app).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
Either you need to PUSH it manually after extracting those apks from the zip or flash the two ROMs again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
What about the G-Sensor calibration problem?

There is no option for this in the menu!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
Correct me if I am wrong cause I am not sure, but I understood that it doesn't exist in the stock 2.1 update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Maybe,don´t know!

Have you tested other ROM which are based on official 2.1 ota update,

if it`s the same?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] messyhead:
Sweet this works a treat, and was exactly what I was looking for.

I've got an Orange branded Hero - not unlocked.

I was already rooted and running SenseHero2.1 B5.1, with AmonRa 1.6.2.

I used the recovery image to flash this Rom, and I've now got the 'official' unbranded 2.1 update.

I had previously updated the Radio to the latest one, and so far everything seems to be working ok.

Not tried getting Apps2SD working yet though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lexie2797:

is there anybody who can tell me how to install the update.zip because i just want my phone rooted but i have the original ota, so is it possible without downgrading to install the update.zip?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andyt95:
How did you all install these .zip files? I don't see how to do it...

Thanks, Andy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andyt95:
Sorry to be a pest, but this seems the only way to root official 2.1, and therefore I must ask again, how do I install the upgrade.zip

Seen as it a .zip file, the only option I have is "extract with WinZip" and there is nothing I can do with those file folders as I can't find anything in there.

Thanks, Andy
