Hi, i'm wondering if it is possible to build android (2.2 when it's released) and somehow run it with the HTC Hero drivers. Or would i need HTC's sourcecode for that?
And another question. Nexus One will run a plain vanilla build, as it has no proprietary drivers, or am I wrong?
Thanks in advance

Well, I'm still an Android noob, but I know that you might be able to run the 2.2 SDK dump on the Hero. And when the source comes out, I'm sure the boys over at Hero Development will give you a good release. But if I'm wrong, sorry.
Think so, it should be a little while. The only reason ASOP wasn't good for the Hero was because the source for .29 kernel was never released by HTC. Now that the community has .29 source code, and with Cyanogen able to move to the newer kernel (his kernel is already Froyo compatible version wise), it's better than before.
Donut, Eclair need .29
Froyo needs .32
Check wikipedia
If its a CDMA Sprint Hero, you are in luck...

As you know the HTC Hero GSM comes with HTC's sense, and I was wondering if there was a way to put the original Android 2.1 on the HTC Hero (basically a clean ROM from Google) without any modifications, hacks or HTC stuff.
I know other devices run Android and must run Google's vanilla android such as the Nexus one, so if I were to port it, how would I go about doing this?
Thanks if you can help
...or you could just look in the Development section? There are tons of vanilla roms that have already been made, and are just awaiting you to put them on your phone?
Why would you go to all the extra trouble of making your own if there are already ones which have been tried, tested and then tested again by many many users?
Have a look: /forumdisplay.php?f=512
I know this already
I just wanted to know if there was a STOCK Android 2.1, you know like you download the stock 2.1 ROM for HTC Hero, is there one for android 2.1, the original provided by google?
It sounds silly but I just wanted an original ROM if possible
Ahh okay I see! No, Google don't provide ROMs for any device except their own Nexus One. HTC provide ROMs for the Hero, and every official HTC Hero ROM has Sense UI on it.
So your best bet is to go with one of the ones provided here. The only things that make them differ from the standard ones are some of the additional feature support as well as the support for the Hero handset.
Hope that helps.
Hi
Since moving to N1 my Hero was redundant but then it went to repair and got a brand new Hero. So What is the best ROM to use now? Where did feeyo go
Can someone recommend a stable sense rom please
Thanks
Feeyo got banned for not following the GPL agreement (and making dupe accounts repeatedly), he now resides on his own website where I believe he has now released his source code as per the agreement. Google it.
Best rom is still to try them all. The best supported sense rom is probably VillainROM 12 (not including Cronos stuff which I don't follow currently as its not on XDA). But you have to try Froyo IMHO! Many releases out there, just give them a go.
Try froyo, as it has stable and usable jit
care to link to the rom please
There are many froyo rom's check the dev section, Froyd Villain, elelinux, Fusion ROM, Cronos Froyo, etc etc...

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/vBwiki/index.php?title=Installing_Custom_ROMs is probably the easiest method tbh.
On Hero 1.5, I got the universal root and it rooted but when i open the terminal app the keyboard dont show, i tried holding menu aswell. I tried other terminal apps but no luck
Try elinux 1.9~~ Froyo rom
I take it CM 6 is the best right now?
the latest mcr went ugly on me - could hear voice on phone calls, slow
If you want to use HTC Sense install Android 2.1 (2.2 is still in beta) try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702398 I'm using it and it's pretty fast and looks great. But if you want to use stable Android 2.2 without Sense try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767886
i want to port an android 2.3+ rom to a device that has only seen froyo. In order todo this tho, ive been told i need to either port a gingerbread radio img, create a kernel that runs on froyo and boots gingerbread, and some other shenanigans.
Can anyone point me to a source to help me out here or give me advice on such a project?

Hi.. New here, coming from Fascinate, Rezound is in the mail..
Since I'm waiting, I'm looking for kernels (GB) that were compiled with dm-crypt enabled. I wanna run my LUKS, but I'm holding off on going to ICS until it's official from HTC.. I haven't downloaded the source yet, so I'm just assuming it was not in the stock GB kernel.. I'd love to find out I'm wrong.
In a perfect world I'd just take the stock kernel with CONFIG_DM_CRYPT, so if that doesn't exist and there's some interest, I might just compile one.
Sorry for the newb question, but I'm not up on dev / kernels over here..
Thanks!
sweet.. straight from my fresh HTC source .config..
Code:
CONFIG_DM_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y
::does happy dance::
guess that answers that! Coming from Samsung, working with HTC source code is a dream..
Thanks anyway!
Well I am working on beagleboard-xm project, where I am supposed to upgrade the current Android version to ICS. The thing is, I have to keep the current kernel , because it is customized for some applications that run on that board. It is not me that compiled that kernel...
Is it even possible to keep the "old" kernel and upgrade to ICS? Can it be done in any way? Or a new kernel with new patches has to be installed...?
Thank you! :good:

i don't think it'll be possible for you to use the GB kernel for ICS
I used to have an HTC Desire S. After ICS was released all 4.0 roms on that phone used a modified gingerbread kernel for months, any attempt by the devs to use their own ICS kernel failed. I believe that HTC have now released the ICS kernel but it would be a good place to look. If I remember correctly the main devs for the phone I used were "superkid" and "mdeejay".
I now have a g nexus so can't give you more up to date info.
