Some Cool Apps developed with Min. API Level 10 required,,, but my devices is using API Lev.8... I think thats a good motive
to update an android OS. But if there's a way to avoid it, and i can used the apps without updating, that would be nice...
Is it possible??

What are my options ?

Hello all!
I'm new to this and I have a few questions.
I have been reading around a little bit but it doesn't help much when you have so many codenames like Eclair, donut, vanilla and now CyanogenMod-5 that I got interested.
I have a HTC Hero, I would wait for HTC update to have Android 2.1 but the update got delayed to June. I don't want to wait 2 months for it and that's how I decided to try flashing it.
1) What are my ROM options to flash it? Is it all of them compatible or just a few ? Like, only Hero-compatible ROMs or ROMs compatible to devices that support Android ?
2) Basically I want Android 2.1 (Eclair, right?) but don't want to lose the HTC UI. Is that possible ? (the look, the widgets, etc..)
3) On the other hand, not only I don't want to lose HTC's UI as I'd like more of it. HTC Desire for example has more and new widgets that Hero doesn't have. Is there a community ROM that contains those ? Do I need a special ROM for that ?
4) Does all the ROMs contains the latest dev kernel versions ? the latest android dev version that is.
5) Does it have an auto update to update the ROM ?
6) What's the difference between Vanilla and Donut ? I see many talking about Vanilla, but shoulnd't I want the Donut instead ? ( sounded funny, I know )
Thank you in advance !
Looking forward to socialize in this forum.

1. Only HTC Hero rom's should be flashed (if you're not on Sprint Hero then you're GSM so look for GSM rom's = most) - the wiki has a page dedicated to which rom's are available.
2. HTC theme is called rosie, so look for a rosie enabled rom
3. Some extra widgets come with them - check with each release (you can find them all in the development section)
4. No, most are based upon leaked kernals which have been hacked together to work, they work well enough but as soon as the official 2.1 kernal is available for the hero it will be added in to the rom's
5. Some have OTA updates (e.g. VillainROM)
6. Vanilla just means without the HTC Sense UI (Rosie) so you don't want a vanilla rom. Donut is v1.5 (or maybe 1.6?) of android i believe.
And welcome to the community
Check out my guides for all your needs XD

Thank you! that helped tons!
One more question, mine is not Sprint Hero, just Hero
So it's certain that this is a GSM device ?
How can I tell if it's GSM or CDMA ?
gsm means u can use any sim card
cdma means u cant
Awesome. So mine must be GSM.
Now, what is Radio ROM ?
What is Radio ? Do I have to flash that as well ?
EDIT: I think I get it. It can improve the signal, yes ?
But is it safe to flash this? what are my restrictions?
Looks much more dangerous than flashing a custom ROM
Ok, much more complicated than I thought!
I need to downgrade my kernel first,
didn't find any up to date tutorials on that
only then I need to root and finally flash it
I installed this " ROM Manager " where you have some easy options:
Install ROM from SD card, Download Rom, Check for ROM Updates
just with a click (tap)
That one is easier, but does it work ? How come noone mentions this ROM Manager ?
That are many ROMs to choose..
I take it VillainROM 5.4 is the most popular/older ?
As long as it has Android 2.1 plus the latest Sense UI (not vanilla) then the number of options get trimmed a bit (or so I hope)

Its not too difficult, follow BTDAG's guide in my signature, its bang on. Install custom recovery, flash ROM.
No you do not need to downgrade your kernal. When you flash the ROM it will sort that out for you.
As for using 2.1 ROMs, I haven't taken the plunge yet, I'm using MCR3.2 which is a tweaked fast and stable 1.5 ROM.
You're right, btdag's guide did it for me. Very very useful.
Since I didn't have to worry about kernel, it wasn't thaaat hard.
I already installed VillainRom 5.4 and it's great !
Thanks for answering my questions !

look at the other thread of cyanogenmod 7 development for Samsung Galaxy 5 device)
Since I'm a developer of the Cyanogen port for this phone, let me answer:
Until the major bugs are fixed, we recommend you use Froyo. However, you will probably enjoy testing Cyanogen 7 for a day or so, if you can forgive the bugs.

In my current ROM - Indic font rendering is not working properly. I replaced DroidSansFallback.ttf in font folder. It is having right font now, however Conjuncts are not working. Any idea about that..
Also is it taken care in Cyanogen 7
CyanogenMod
I'm using the subpsyke's CyanogenMod and it's really good. A little slow but whatever
I recommend CyanogenMod 7.1 hotfix 1.4 .. is f***ing stable and works fast....I like this very much....ADW Launcher is incredible.I like that the menu was changed from that page format to grid...I got a lot of apps and games and they works fine.
Cyangen mod
i use Cyanogen Mod 7,1, and has overclocked my phone to 768mhz.
Its a new phone, me like it now.
I would definitly choose Cyanogen over original rom.

[Q] Custom roms?

Hi, Im not that good with all this root, custom roms and stuff. I did root my device though. My xperia x10. I got 2.1 rooted.
I read about everything with custom roms everywhere and everytime i read about android.
What is custom roms? does it enable me with my xperia to download a custom rom or custom version so i can get 2.2 or 2.3 even if sony ericsson has chosen to not update?
Thanks
Oh, And i downloaded something from connect-utb site.
What is it? is it some kind of new android version? it stood that it can be used on Xperia so... it was something XDAndroid
cant link. But search google for connect-utb
Custom ROMs enable you to have 2.2, 2.3 and so on, BUT with some drawbacks. Since the highest the phone can go is 2.1, the ROMs will be based on 2.1 and some things might not work (e.g. Camera,Videorecorder).
Try looking at the x10 developement section. Ask what you want to do in the q and a section and we can help u. But all the info is rite here on this site. U just have to look.

[Q] Root Help

Hey Guys i got my Desire X today and its a great device just loved it . So update me with the development ongoing . First i want to root my DX so found an easy article instead of the hason2000 toolkit here it is http://bit.ly/SgMpSf
So, has anyone tried this and what about CWM, Kernel, Rom progress...update me with everything guys i hav no idea whats going on around. Thnks
Well the toolkit works( great job hasoon) CWM is a bit buggy but works too. There's a full sense ROM by The Android Manual, no download link yet, and there's a CyanogenMod 9 port by Lloir, also a great job.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda premium
Uhm, let's put things into perspective : there's a cwm recovery image that works, but no ROM's that pass muster. The CM9 that loirr did is a very first test-build, that's waiting to be picked up by someone with a Desire X to fully develop, test and fix, and the other one, a full sense stock rom by Android Manual, that isn't available for download.
In short : there's no custom ROMs at the moment.
