Hello.
I have a very old Hero and got interested in updating it.
I see that Gingerbread 2.3.3 is the latest version, however I don't find any ROM that has it, I only find TastyGinger 1.x which has 2.3.2, why not 2.3.3? And it turns out that the new TastyGinger release (2.0) is marked as "2.3" instead of "2.3.2", does it have an older Android or what?
I've seen also that a lot of people say that Flash doesn't work on Hero. However it's working in mine (Android 1.5), is this because it's Flash Lite? How can I know that? Will the new Gingerbread ROMs include this version of Flash?
Thanks very much.
Hi there
Flash only works with sense roms (Sense is graphic UI that You have probably on Your 1.5 hero). It's flash lite, not full version.
Regarding gingerbread roms - Tasty Ginger haven't received an update for a while.
Gingerbread roms won't include flash, unless some genius dev (with help of few Igors and a trusty thunderstorm) creates a sense gingerbread ROM...but don't hold Your breath, it's almost impossible
cheers!

PS. if You need working flash - try some of the custom 2.1 roms. VillainROM12, RCMix to name the few. I remember that there is 2.2 ROM with sense, but camera is not working on that one.
I can recommend elelinux 7.0 roms, and Cyanogen 7 rom.
Both u can find on this site ( under 'development' for hero)
elelinux rom works very well
Root that Hero and put Cronos Ginger on it. latset build is a 2.3.3

My girlfriend uses my Hero with Elenux 7 and the flykernel. It seems to be stable.
Elelinux 7.0.0 rc2 is rlly stable also is cm7 nightly 18 and if you are looking on a rom with flash tht is updated u can try VillianRom 13 or Tegro 2.5rc3 which are both sense one rosie and other expresso consecutively
the flykernel 12a that i unloaded of XDA no works in any of gingerbread roms, there´s anyone person that have the same problem???
my RADIO IS 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 THANKS!!!!!
Elelinux 7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.5... Works perfect.
elelinux gingerbread rom is great...but I recommend a 2.3.2 rom instead...
there is a memory leakage bug that makes my phone unstable in 2.3.3 roms
elelinux v1.6 just came out yesterday, which presumably fixes the leak. I just installed it a few minutes ago, going to test it now

i was flashed elelinux 7.0.0 RC1 and RC2 BUT THE flykernel 12a doesnt works in my hero. i think that its a interface trouble only in my device.
any person with the same problem? i´m going to lookintg for another kernel and later go to post it here?
desire mee good luck!!!!
ei! i´m with RAKERN 113 with gingerbread (elelinux 7 rc2) ane works fine... a little bit of battery drain but.... it´s a little sacrifice for a good performance.
elinux 7.0 is smooth. it does not have any problem on my hero starting from v0.7 to v1.6

Im using now MiniCM7Pro, as you can see on my signature, so... What rom do you think is the best for U20i?
- MiniCM7Pro (by paul-xxx)
- Ginger-T0n (by slade87)
- Mini CM6 (by slade87)
- Ginger-DX v007 (by D4rKn3sSyS)
- SonyBread v5 (by paul-xxx)
Remember to give all the credits to them!
I ran on Paul's rom a few days (from V4 o V6) and then I tried GingerDX v007 which runs faster in my opinion. Also it drains less battery. But it has some bugs that annoy me like when the screen goes to sleep on his own and you have to unlock it again.
minicm7pro: very stable and fast...totally bug free cam5mp
gintonic.SE: umm very good but thre are a few bugs in there
minicm6: fast and stable...but i prefer cyanocomb1.4 as a froyo rom (froyobread is also awesome)
gingerdx: very good rom. v005 is the best version i guess
Thnks for everyone who answered, im still using MiniCM7Pro and after Slade finish his GinTonic I will change
mine I use paul's minicmv6 works fine but no data connection
I am using GingerDx since this morning , it is super quick ( web pages load much faster than stock or slades cm6.0)
I use kislers modified version which fixes the wifi bug many people have been experiencing in v007.
When i installed v007 i got the same wifi problem so i tried starting fresh with Kisler's version and all is working well.

I don't know if Slade will pick up where he left off, but D4rKn3sSyS's ROM seems to be the best bet.
another vote for gingerdx. it's been the best rom i've tried so far.
*bump* any updates on roms? battery life is priority of course
Which one of this roms has the best camera (pics and video) and is more stable???
[ROM] GingerDX - v11
[ROM] SonyBread - Seven SP3 - GingerBread (2.3.5)
[ROM]MiniCM7 Pro - V7x - GingerBread (2.3.5)
[ROM] Froyobread | v023f(remade) | 04/08/2011 (Mini Pro)
[ROM 18-08-2011] Andread 2.2.9 Pro v9f - Andread 2.3.5 Pro v3 only 63Mb
Test
Im sorry to say, but its to your personal taste and testing of each rom. i jumped off from every rom and come to sonybread. if that doesnt stay pretty well i will jump to the next new one thats coming.
My thought for you is to try one by one and see which suits you the best.
anyone else have any other recommendations? (welcome)
Well, I'm currently using MiniCM6 + ADW Launcher Ex. It's really stable. I have also tried SonyBread but I couldn't get wifi/bluetooth/gps to work.
I'm looking forward to GingerDX
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
i'm currently on gdx v12 with all the tweaks and hotfixes. great rom. give it a try if you wanna try a gb rom.
vote for GDX v12!!!!
I personally use SonyBread. It is very stable and takes nice pictures, but it still needs some resizing and more RAM tweaks because RAM memory is very low... But I undestand that this is under development and paul has a broken phone, so I'll wait to continue his project, because I have very high hopes for SonyBread. For me, GingerDX wasn't very stable and UI feel didn't appeal to me. Also with GingerBread ROMS you can't have any other camera app and this is bad because we can't have timer, etc... while taking photos...

I like GingerDX, because of it's stability, speed and Battery...
But it depends of the person taste...

The Andread V7 has the best camera that i've ever tried. The Vignette app improves a lot the stock photo quality and the LgCamera app allow the x10i to record video in 640x480
Best rom
After trying nearly all ON versions that came ended on this the Rom: GingerDX by doixanh, port by D4rKn3sSyS aka D4, edit by Eyama v13 for the stability, speed and Battery...
Thanks everybody for your responses, I'll try GingerDx and andread V7 and I'll see whichone I like.
I'll try GingerDX later once ive got rid off xrecovery
hopefully it'll be more stable than the current ROM
im using that causes constant reboots...
Not sure if all ROM's have the lock up/reboot
problem after a being used for a few months ?
If so its a pain as one likes a phone to... Work!
GingerDX v12 + hotfix and tweaks v12 + SE style and timescape

Hi, to avoid opening a new thread write it here.
I have a x10 mini, bought about two months, I made the root and install different applications, happens to me after about 10 days that the device starts to have problems like this:
turns on and off by itself
does not turn off once you find it
is already the second time I have and for the second (or maybe even third) time I did a hard reset will restore to factory records, honestly I'm tired a lot, so I'm thinking of installing a rom Alternatively, this may solve the definitavamente problem? someone is in my own or been in my situation?
If you would like some advice on which rom to choose, and so on which is more stable from this point of view, thank you very much.
GingerDX v13 + hotfix rlz!

my suggestion
try GingerDX
or
MiniCM7 Pro
then choose.
I'm on MiniCM7 and no problem so far
but then you think is better than minicm7 minicm6? I thought that 6 had greater stability because most old and then with all the bug fixes .. ginger v13 does not convince me

sorry but i've never tried minicm6

but all of this rom are better than the stock
minicm7 how long you use?

I have two things to ask about Wolfs v7 test:
1.-After the installation of the update (v7), in settings->about phone, the compilation version says "Wolf_Xperia_6.0.0s (as if it were a stock kernel version, the one i flashed was 6.0.0c)
2.-my phone has unlocked bootloader, so i flashed DoomKernel v05a with BM 1.3 and its respective wifi module, they work fine, however, as above, in about phone, it says its the FXP version.
here's a screenshot
http://yfrog.com/ocgbip
is this normal?? Something i must say, i was con FXP 030, but came back to wolfs because of stock camera and tethering. I wiped everything trough CWM and xRecovery respectively and did a fresh install. Everything works just fine (kernel speeds and governors, wifi, FB 2.0, keyboard, etc.)
Any guesses?
Anyone? i really have the doubt, but i can't post it on development cause i have less than 10 posts
I believe you downloaded the wrong file in the first place I have been to wolf's thread as well looking for a chance to test his updated rom but all i have found was V6 firmware
I think it's just a line in the build prop that WB hasn't changed yet. It shouldn't matter and as long as it works fine, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure it'll be fixed when full v7 is released.
its just the test version of next release.
v7 is yet to be released
There are lot of things that will be changed on final V7 release. This is just a test version.
Hi guys,
(sorry if my words aren't clear, please tell me if any of what I say isn't undestandabble)
Yesterday I installed FeraLabs ICS v2.2 ROM in my x10a. Great ROM, I fell in love with android 4 and cyanogemod, it was my first contact with both. But I had some problems using it, some apps not working, others freezing the entire system, can't send SMS etc. I know that probably most of these bugs already have fixes, the ROM is being developed etc, but I decided that it's not for me yet, this is my main phone and I need it rock solid for day to day use.
So I decided to try some GB rom. But there are a lot of ROMs out there, and I couldn't find a thread answering what's the best for my case, so I'm gonna ask fro suggestions. =D
Here's what I need:
- A stable ROM, fully compatible with my x10a;
- Based on cyanogemod;
- If possible, faster than stock 2.3 ROM;
- If possible, less power-consuming than stock 2.3 ROM, but it's the least important feature (got a 3500mAh battery);
- I personnally don't like the Sony UI improvemments and general bloatwares. I like google default apps and UI. Also used a LG p500 for a year, liked a lot the LG punctual customizations;
- It can have bugs about video recording, I don't use it much;
- It can't have bugs with 3g, wifi, calling and texting (hehehe);
So, what flavors should I try?
Thank you all. ;D
Donut HD 2.2 it's faster than stock and cm and works perfect with good battery life 2

Hi,
Thanks for helping.
Looking at the instructions in the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30999560&postcount=1167). Will it run OK with the feralabs kernel that is currently is installed in my system? Shouldn't I change hte kernel?
If yes, what kernel should I flash?
Hi guys,
I flashed doomkernel, booted to xRecovery, installed the doomkernel wifi module from zip, booted again to xRecovery, installed the donuthd, booted again, installed donuthd, booted to xRecovery and installed donuthd update.
It's really fast, I've never used and android this fast. I'm currently installing my apps, wanna see if it will keep great at night. =D
But I've seen a problem:
My sms messages aren't being delivered, just like happened with Feralabs ICS 2.2 rom. Anyone got this problem? Does this have some relation with my phone being a x10a (and now it's appearing in in my system settings as x10i) ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi again,
Today I cleaned up my phone and tried to install donutHD + doomkernel again. Everything worked ok, except sending and receiving SMS messages. So I flashed back 2.1 stock firmware and 2.3 (GB) stock firmware, and SMS sending/receiving worked fine again, in both versions.
Does anybody has any clue about what can be happening? When I installed donutHD (about 3 times), I was in 2.1 stock firmware, root/busybox/xrecovery from Flashtool (newest version). The same problem ocurred with the Feralabs ICS v2.2 ROM with feralabs kernel for ICS.
I also tried to flash the 2.3th kernel n5-1 (comming from 2.1 stock firmware), but it got frozen in SE screen, during boot. Even xrecovery couldn't open. =/
=========================== edited:
Problem solved: As observed I was upgrading from 2.1 stock ROM to DonutHD. Doing this upgrade coming from android 2.3 stock ROM, the SMS sending/receiving works like a charm. =D
