Umm. This will likely be a longer port than a day or so The N1 is a different resolution, and we need to get drivers sorted.
Maybe it will be done some time, but people are only just starting work on this

If you go in the CDMA Hero forum, you can see that there is yet a port of froyo. Sorry for my english
But are the drivers the same as the ones from 2.1 roms

and (correct me if wrong), but sources will eventually / soon hit the Android git's, and it's easier to build that stuff from source than trying to modify a ROM that's build for a way different device.
Not that it can't be done... but I think a lot of devs are still busy playing with kernels and optimized sense leaks, instead of trying hard to mod a Nexus-Froyo ROM, only to have sources available the moment you're done .
Froyo can run on the .29 kernel, so the drivers shouldn't be a problem.

sooooo
since we have had root for weeks now... and theres custom roms starting there way onto the eris..
has anyone... or can someone put together a 2.0.1 or a 2.1 vanilla rom?.
...
I have already asked this question... No one has ported 2.0.1 to the Eris and There is really no point in doing so. There is only Cupcake[1.5] and Ecliar[2.1] available to the Eris as of now.

We can't really do it until we have the 2.1 kernel source code or we successfully fix everything we have on the older kernel used for eris's 1.5
As far as a theme, its a work in progress. Mostly because, i'm working on it. I"ll post it if I get anything done.
This is as close as we have so far, thanks to GrdLock:

There is no need for jailbreaking a hero. Just follow the guides available to root it. If you can't follow a guide to root, use univeral androot, although you'll still need to understand what you're doing.
There isn't a one-click root, and it's not really in the spirit of xda. Read about custom ROMs, read about rooting, and get flashing...

I think it just needs compiling against a particular kernel against the Hero.

yup someone needs to do that for us asap
I had not seen Pulser missing a beat before
Well, it seems that we need a kernel 2.6.3x to make this work (check in psfreedom.com), since the bundled 2.6.2x uses the MSM_HSUSB driver instead of the MSM72K.
Does anyone know where to grab a kernel like that?
Sorry for sounding stupid, but what is this? lol
There's no such kernel right now. Devs are working on a .34 kernel, but I believe it's still far from complete.

its basically like rooting a ps3 means you can play 'backed up' games and such
i have tried bringing this up on the villain irc channel but all i got was abuse lol so gave up, and this is not the first time so no more donation to them guys from me and no more using there roms.

But, as someone suggested, could it be used as a recovery image with the compiled PSFreedom module?
cant we just port the img made for desire to hero ??
No, we can't, because what we need, the kernel, cannot be ported that way. What devs are trying right now is to port HTC Magic (Sapphire) .34 kernel.
Im so confused!
whats up with this spreadsheet, stating a Hero port is complete?
apperently i can't post links yet. But anyone know what im talkning about?
i read before, but what is the point?
I saw the answer, and yes it makes sense (i know alot about the ps3/psp scene since psp's release). But it doesnt strictly do anything unique at all on android phones does it?
I mean rooting does exactly the same, and the psjailbreak has no different/new features designed for android (i know it shouldnt, but...).
However, it is certainly nice to see a new kind of exploit available. (i remember the wonder of the gta exploit on psp all those years ago caused cries of delight and dark_alex to become a god, those who remember)
there is too type of htc hero some have the correct usb type some dont
I guess the best solution will be to port the exploit to the 2.6.2x kernel (seems more feasible than waiting to have a working 2.6.3x kernel).
Its updated!
hxxp://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list
Now requires: 2.6.29 or higher Kernel
We should ask rom makers to help us out
On other note is someone trying to make it work for HTC hero

Presenting bmlunlock. Unlocks bml7 for writing to it via dd.
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_bmlunlock
Nice! Thanks Koush.. it's about time you did some actual work around here..
lol brandon. you know better. he pushed out 2 updates to CWM for us in less than ten minutes last night!
Yeah, I was just kidding. What really makes this useful is this bmunlock and the updated adb access via recovery. Very slick.
BHey would it be possible to use this to flash the kernel of a facinate from a mac? If so could you guys give a quick explanation of how. Us mac users are itching to get ready for roms.
If someone can do the terminal write up for the bmunlock kernel flash on windows we can probably figure out how to do it on our macs..... anyone? Please.
Well first somebody needs to cross-compile that .c source from github for android.
I don't have the tools to do that ATM, but I'll work on that.
From the README on koush's github it looks like you just run the bmunlock executable on the device, which unlocks the partition and then use dd to flash the kernel zImage contained within the tar.zip posted here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787168
I'll work on this on my Fasc and post clearer instructions if I'm successful.
You rule Koush! Missing your work since i switched from the Droid to Fascinate. Thanks a lot keep it up!
I'm sorry, but what exactly is this?
If you don't know, you don't need it.
It allows devs to flash kernels directly.

Ah. Then I don't need it. I appreciate the work Koush, but I don't know a thing about programming and I'm not a dev.
How do I compile it for the GB kernel? Do I just need to use the cross compiler?
We have an issue with the Pop Plus (GT-S5570I) flashing kernels via zip files. Sometime they do not flash at all. Others they do. It is a real pain in the butt.

I was reading how ICS has come to the original Droid Milestone via a CM9. Reading this post (http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/), it appears they have hijacked how the kernel is loaded.
So, my question is, is the current CM7 for DX2 running a custom kernel? I see the version is 2.3.7, so with the hijacking, did they "replace" the kernel kind of like how they do it for the Droid Milestone?
If this is true, then I'm assuming this will be the same thing for CM9 for the X2 if/when that comes out?
Just curious. I like to understand how things work. I guess that's why I program, but I'm not that proficient in Android programming, but I'm starting to learn that.
Thanks!
Nah, It runs the stock kernel. Don't quote me on this, but I believe they wouldn't run a custom kernel on CM9 for our phone either, they'd just add drivers to the stock one. Although, it would be much easier to get CM9 running if we could throw a custom kernel on there.
No new kernel until we get unlocked.. or really lucky, eh?

Okay. I was just reading this article which states that they have run a custom kernel on a locked phone:
http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/
There is a process called kexec which allows a custom kernel to be loaded into memory overwriting the current one. I am not a developer but would imagine this is very complicated to accomplish and why we don't see this happening more frequently with locked devices.

So I have a feeling that is what is going on with CM7 for the X2 then. So this definitely means we could see ICS someday.

I doubt it, if kexec was working for the x2 it would be a big deal, similar to2nd init. The "2.3.7" must be coming from a piece of code that was missed from the port. I'm just guessing here i really don't have a clue.

The kernel is the X2's stock kernel, which is from the SBF or Stock ROM running Android 2.3.4 (that's not the kernel version). 2.3.7 is the version of Android running on the phone with CM7.
A quote from the article.
CyanogenMod 7.1.2 for Milestone (the current version at the time of writing) runs Android 2.3.7 on the original Motorola boot partition (=kernel) from Android 2.2,
Click to expand...

Seems to me that would indicate it's running 2.3.7 on the 2.2 (original) kernel.
Kexec isnt used in the CM7 hijack.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
We are definitely not able to run ANY kernel by ANY means other than one of the stock kernels that comes with a Motorola signed update.zip or sbf file
The 2.3.7 os the stock Android version that is run with cm7...its the android OS ...nothing to do with the kernel.
Things were changed so that cm7 would run correctly on the kernel that came with 2.3.4 os for the x2.
If we had custom kernel support AT ALL trust me ....u WOULDN'T have been able to overlook that lol

Yes there is a way, just in case you don't have it here we go . If you don't have clockwork mod recovery installed use your phone to download the cwr update.zip in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 .Scroll down and look for directions on how to install cwr. Use a file manager app called " Astro " to put the file on your internal sd. Once you have recovery mode installed you can simply use your phone to download a custom 2.2 ROM and flash it through recovery mode (there will be directions on how to flash this in the thread) , just be sure to READ everything before flashing. This is probably the most popular 2.2 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441976 , you can search for others if you wish. This will pretty much void your warranty so if that's a problem then your probably stuck with 2.1 until you get your usb port fixed. Here is the closest Stock 2.2 ROM you will find if that's what your looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674519

yes... you can get an update.zip from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59531727/Clockwork Recovery/Update.zip taken from Woodrube's Signature.
FYI DONT use KIES. It may Hard Brick your device. Place this update.zip in the root of internal SD (NOT inside a folder). You will have to do reinstall packages twice to get it to CWM maybe.
There are many good 2.2 ROMs like Moped's Ryders ROM and Fishman's.

I can't help but to notice that your signature says MB855. Since you are using a Photon, are you doing this modding for a friend's phone? If so and that person is not the "technical" sort, I suggest you leave them on 2.2 for now.
ICS ROMs are well beyond what you would think since we have no official ROM from Samsung for our devices, however they are not without dangers and pitfalls. There is a bug that is hitting Vibrants, Captivates, I-9000's, a few Asus Transformers (tf101)-in fact someone got hit with it yesterday. It is called the Encryption UnSuccessful bug and it will render the Internal_sd useless and you will have to hack your External_sd to run ANY ROM. Other than that and the fact that the Vibrant has crappy GPS (sans hardware fix), ICS ROMs are spectacular, especially since very few phones are running ICS at all, let alone 4.0.4.
I suggest you read about the EU bug but my pick for the best daily driver ICS ROM is by far ICZen with SubZero kernel. You can find it here but check out the dev section too.
