Standard Android 2.1 into Hero? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is possible to install standard Android 2.1 into HTC Hero?

of course, there are several roms here

he says android 2.1 based... the rom of google nexus one!!!

in that case he just would have to look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617736

I have a Sprint CDMA based HTC Hero. My fear is that these 2.1 ROMs are GSM based and will not work with my CDMA based Hero. Is there a 2.1 (or 2.0 - or even a 1.6) based ROM for a Sprint CDMA based HTC Hero? Also, where would I get the original 1.5 ROM to flash back to if I need to?
Although I like the SenseUI the HTC Audio Manager (AKA Music) is killing me because it steals Bluetooth's AVRCP controls from all other media players. I'd be willing to flash to a pure Android ROM - but for my Sprint CDMA based HTC Hero.

Is Android 1.6 (Donut) released?

Hey Guys,
I happen to stumble upon some websites today that say Android 1.6 is now released. Is it true? Any ideas if Hero could be upgraded to this newer OS?
The SDK has launched so developers can beigin to dev some new apps around the new framework and run Donut in the VM.
The update is looking set to roll out to devices in October, not sure how long it will take to get to us hero users??
Would be posible in no time with a good chef on board, the G1 and magic seem to be benefiting from certain Donut updates as we speak

The upcoming "Hero" on Sprint will have a Donut-based OS (Android 1.6). This is self-evident since Sprint is a CMDA network, and Donut is the first iteration of the OS to support CDMA. I would imagine that since the GSM Hero and the CDMA "Hero" have very similar specs, with the exception of the radio, it shouldn't take a competent chef too long to cook up a GSM version of the ROM.

Dave
The SDK was released meaning you can directly develop against it.
if you go to
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/search/label/Android 1.6
you can watch a vid with the new features.
Hello
jus wondering what the diff in for example OS like cupcake (1.5 yes?) and donut (1.6) is with respect to the ROMs...
The Hero is on 1.5, are other android phones also on 1.5?.....is there like some guide on this stuff.....can we upgrade our OS (officially) to newer ones or we will have to do with OS 1.5 on hero and jus update ROMs?
Thanks.

I believe HTC Sense requires quite a bit of OS integration. Maybe even more than what Sony Ericsson uses with their Rachael interface.
Also, HTC has claimed that Sense 3.0 has certain hardware specs (most likely available RAM) that had to be met. That was the reason why they didn't update Sense for older HTC hardware such as the Supersonic/EVO 4G (although XDA devs have already come up with custom ROMs for the EVO 4G that have Sense 3.0).
There should be 3rd-party launchers, home screens, lock screens, widgets, themes, etc. that can be used to simulate the look and feel of Sense 3.0 without having to create some kind of custom ROM image. Have you tried that route?

[Q] Difference between CDMA ROMs and GMS ROMs

Can someone tell me what´s the difference between CDMA ROMs and GMS ROMs. I have GSM Evo 3D. For CDMA there are many of ROMs but for GSM not. Why CDMA has a lot of possibilities like overclocking etc. and GSM not?
There are more CDMA roms simply because more people own a CDMA version, thus more people will develop roms for the CDMA version.
But the GSM version is getting some good attention lately, with a lot of new roms being developed at the moment.
You can overclock the CDMA version because HTC released the source code for the kernel.
They have not yet released the GSM kernel source code, so the GSM version can not yet be overclocked.
There are many differences between CDMA and GSM roms, so it requires quite a bit of work to port from one side to another.
Thanks
Thank you very much for explanation

Can't I port cdma ROM to my gsm EVO 3d and after that install gsm kernel and network drivers separately, there will be any problems?

Interesting concept .. Android is more similar to Linux than to windows in the sense that drivers are really just loaded up as needed but more so compiled into the kernel, although perhaps loaded through modules ..
Either way, the Android framework itself seems to be geared specifically on each device to support a certain type of radio, at least from what I've seen developers post. I.e. Android is either programmed/setup to expect and communicate with a CDMA radio or a GSM radio.
Of course, this could definitely appear as a short coming for anybody wishing to swap ROMs on the fly. I would hope, in the future, a ROM could provide dual support for both CDMA/GSM along with the kernel also providing dual support.
Although, on the contrary most people don't own a CDMA and a GSM version of the same device so they wouldn't be swapping their ROMs back and forth very often.
Hopefully some of that information is helpful!

[Q] Beats Audio on Non Beats Rom for GSM

Hi developers, I was wondering if anyone has the skill and free time to port this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308993
to the GSM evo 3d. i am aware that there are gsm roms with beats already incorporated however my phone came with a newer ruu (1.22.707.2)and crypt0`s rom is the only rom supported. i know this is possible because people have already started porting CDMA roms to GSM. Thanks in advance

[Q] Porting an Inspire ROM to the Rezound

Can anyone port this ROM or if it's simple help me do it?

Unfortunately porting a ROM is not as easy as swapping a few files.

1) wrong resolution....inspire/dhd are wvga screens (if it was bigger you could typically resize down with m10 tools...not gonna really work the other way)
2) lte...as witnessed by the thunderbolt porting is significantly more difficult to an lte device from a non lte rom...data is often a no-go (especially for sense 3.5 +)...really erishasnobattery was about the only person capable of it and he no longer has a rezound....as more lte phones on other carriers with similar resolutions come out, porting may become easier/more prevalent
3) its never "simple" unless porting from a nearly identical device ie: inspire - dhd - desire s or og inc - evo 4g (or inc2 to inc s to an extent by gsm to cdma involves a few more files than gsm to gsm)
4) since thats an aosp rom, it could be built on a stable base for this phone...but afaik that doesnt exist atm...

Hey man!, do you have a Rezound??
also I know this may sound weird, but what about the Thunderbolt sense 3.0 leak ROMS, could that be ported to the Rezound?

nope, no rezound...was just passing through and thought id answer
tbolt is still wvga so it would look awful (though id think radio/data stuff would be alright)
