As now Stock 2.2 is available there are so many queries related to it. Before that all was related to 2.1, and how to upgrade to 2.2 etcs.
My request is that why not separate this is into two another sections 1 fo all 2.1 related queries, applications etc.. and another for 2.2 related queries, application and upgrading to 2.3 etc.
Why I am saying that as there are so many things which is related to 2.1 and if you put that in 2.2 than you might face some proble. for e.g. Capticate Camera.apk which was for 2.1 and without realising it I incorporated that into stock 2.2 which affected functioning of my camera.
Hope moderator can understand what I am trying to say & will do the needful.

currently i have 2.1update 1
should i look into the 2.2 froyo i really want some new themes and i see most of the nice ones say 2.2...or will they still work fine with 2.1?
and is 2.1 eclair different from the 2.1 sony fw?
Themes designed to work with 2.2 won't work on 2.1.
And yes the Sony 2.1 firmwire has custom UI layer and apps (timescape, mediascape, face recognition etc) on it that affects performance but provide extra functionality out of the stock 2.1
useless thread.. if you want a 2.1 or 2.2 theme, go to dev section.. read the thread name : [2.1 THEME] or [2.2 THEME]
Hi All,
I'm new to modding my phone and recently flashed it with Cyanogenmod Froyo 2.2.
I want to flash it with Gingerbread but have seen that there are memory leak problems with Cyanogens.. In fact today they ave decided to pull support for the device.
What are my options for getting Gingerbread onto my Hero GSM??
I have seen Elelinux's mod highly spoke of, but it is based on Cyanogen mod (i think). Does it too have the same memory leaks??
Thanks in advance!
Cyanmod have Officially Ceased supporting the HTC HERO as they don't have a DEV supporting the Developement for the HERO
THE LAST Cyanmod for HERO is I Guess version 7.02 and thats it
Elelinux's Gingerbread is Based on the CM7 but He does his own tweaks as well you can always check the thread for what problems people are reporting for the ROM
There is another GIngerbread ROM by 'Cronos' which you could try, but you will have to google for it as I don't think I might get away with posting links here
google for 'cronos project'
I have used elelinux's Roms a lot so like his work but is personal choice and thats what XDA offers it members 'CHOICE'
Don't make assumptions about ROMS .
Try them yourself and stick to the one you like the best
in his latest version (2.0), elelinux included a special patch that has to be flashed separately after flashing the ROM, and on my Hero it reduced the amount of black screens and invisible menus by a great deal. They still show up every now and then, but only when doing memory-intensive stuff. Go check out the thread
Haven't tried Cronos yet, but they also get some good credit I believe.
Hi Guys.
I was running an old version of WolfBreaks's Froyo ROMS for the X10 and Google+ Instant Upload was working perfectly.
Now the other day I upgraded to WB 4.0.3 GingerBread and Google+ Instant Upload no longer works!
I love having back the SEMC Camera UI, but really miss the Instant Upload.
Also missing is the option to Share via Google+ using the Gallery's 'Share' menu, and this option was working with the CM6.1 - based ROM I was using before.
And from the Google+ application itself I can share photos's, including the photo's I make with the SEMC based GB ROM, but I can't find there any of my movies to share!
So my question is: Is this a problem with Wolfbreak's 4.0.3 that can be fixed in that ROM? Or is this a problem that all SEMC based ROMs have? Is it a problem specific to the X10 release of SE? Or do the latest ARC etc ROMs have the same problem?
If the latter, then time to complain to Google and/or SE, and to switch to a ROM based on CM until the problem is fixed in SEMC based ROMs...
I just really like the SEMC dialer, Contacts app, and Camera UI... So that's why I would prefer to have the problem solved in this ROM!
(PS: I'm asking this in a new thread and not in WB's thread, because I don't want to ask my Q just about WB's ROM but I want to know for all ROMs if it works or not)
wrong section , so I won't answer it .
@mods , please move or close .
Im using T.E.A.M transparent rom which is based on the official 2.3 and am not having any problem with google+. could try asking in wolfs thread to see if anyone else is having the same problem if you haven't already.
But yes this thread does need moving.
My apologies for posting in the wrong section. X10 - Android Dev is about the only forum I check, and I wanted to reach users of more ROMs than just Wolfbreak's -- it didn't even cross my mind that another section of the forum exists and might be more appropriate. Again, my apologies. If I knew how to move the thread myself I would do it.
I will try out some of the other ROMs based on SE's standard GB 2.3.3 and see how well they work. TEAM Transparent - I never heard of that one? Where can I download it from?
Thanks.
Here us the link to the thread.

I would of thought Google+ should work on wolfs Rom as well because there both based on stock, maybe you could try reflashing it? I dont know if that would sort it, its just a guess.

I tried TEAM Transparent, and Google+ freshly installed on this ROM. The Instant Upload feature of Google+ didn't work for me on this ROM either. So I'm strongly inclined to believe it's something to do with the SEMC camera software.
(PS: Moderators, please do move this thread to a more appropriate forum! I don't seem to be able to do so myself)
Instant upload works for me on wolf 4.0.4 using stock se camera
I have an LG Optimus x2. The android version is 2.2.2. How do I know what I have, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb, dutch oven, etc...?
I have Cerberus. It says I have to upgrade to Gingerbread to use the face camera, witch I want and need as a security measure.
What does the numbers mean? Ex. 2.2.2, 2.3.4, etc...
What do the baked goods names mean?
I want to upgrade to "Gingerbread" but will my current apps work in the new upgrade? The ones I am concerned about are:
Silent camera (I got it here on this site.)
Skype video (well it doesn't work on what I have now, its more of an inquiry.)
Hanping CE
Baidu input (I need these last two for school)
Then, where does CM7 come into this whole mess?
Now how do I go about getting this Gingerbread?
Sorry for the many questions as I just learned to root my phone a week ago.

Like you said, your phone has android 2.2.2.
That is Froyo
2.2 = Froyo
2.3 = Gingerbread
3.0 = Honeycomb
The numbers represent that version of android.
The names are just code names used by Google for each version of Android
CM7 is a custom ROM
Here's a link to it for your phone

As for getting Gingerbread. I'd suggest you have a look in the section for your particular phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=999
Your apps should also work fine. 99% of all apps that work on froyo will work on Gingerbread.
Hi,
I cannot find any threads dedicated to porting an app generally, yet there are tons of mini-threads with a single app port, so how do we do it?
I'm hoping to port some SE 2.3 apps to a custom 2.3 rom. I know that at least some of the apps are not dependant on SE processes and framework, because there are ports from the big X10 and Arc of phonebook, messaging etc. They're the apps I'd really like to try first. Someone from the new 2011 Mini gave me a system dump so I have everything.
Two other things which might help; there are some custom 2.3 roms which try to keep as much SE framework and style as possible. Also, there is the other idea of porting them to official SE 2.1. As it is, you get 'parsing error' so porting needed.
Thanks!
