haha im sorta still new to all this custom rom mucking round business, i have a vague idea but probz best if sumone just explaind to me fully =D
soz for inconvenience =/
Android pushes out updates once in a while. (2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc). Whenever this is done, HTC has to build their own "layer" on top of stock android. This layer is called HTC Sense. (typical examples are the big "phone" button on your homescreen, the 1x1 power widgets, the "grid" you see when dragging an app icon over your homescreen, the lock-screen that has to be pulled down etc).
For the Hero they stopped making sense for 2.1+, so there will be no official HTC Roms for 2.2 and 2.3.
There are however custom ROMs, that implement 2.2 or 2.3 for Hero, and some even come with HTC Sense.
In this thread there is a list of custom Hero ROMs, sorted by Sense or no-Sense http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
As far as I can see, the only 2.1+ ROMs that have Sense are ChocolateFroyo, Sengle, Froyo Sense.
Have a good read at which one is stable or not, because I don't know which one is.
so, to answer your initial question about the new version of Sense: I don't think they will put out a version that has the newest version (although I don't know for sure) but at least there are some custom ROMs that give you a new Android version with Hero Sense.

Tried looking and have not seen any.
thanks
erhm, all of them? officially there is only cupcake on the hero, two more-or-less working donut roms are out there.

My guess is that you mean 'clean'/vanilla 1.5 cupcake roms. Which are not tampered with by HTC. Right?
In that case, no there aren't any.
You can disable Sense UI however, but you would still be stuck with the HTC skinned (crippled in some cases) applications.
Another option is to install a donut (1.60) or the eclair (2.0) rom, but those do not have full functionality at the moment, you lose the GPS accelerometer and or other features at this moment.
I hope this was what you meant.
thanks. That is what I mean, I want the original google based apps, especially the calendar.
Download the AOSP Cupcake source, and build one for yourself!
You could also try taking a "vanilla" ROM for say a Magic, and replace the kernel with the one from the Hero.

Hi there.
I am wondering, as I see the amount of custom ROM's Using Sense and 2.1, why people are asking to have Expresso on their mobile?
This UI is an horror for my eyes, and i was happily using Hikary ROM until he began to integrate Expresso. Than i tried the other Sense, but Expresso is everywhere.
I am now using a vanilla one ( Cyanogen mod) and i don't regret leaving this horrible Expresso.
I am wondering if it wil be easy to get back the "real" sense on future 2.1 ROM or if i'll have to forget all this stuff...
If i spend money on my hero, that was for Android and the UI. Changing the UI can make me change my mobile, because that is not anymore what i expect.
Please tell me if i am the only one thinking that...

Bubbles around icons in Expresso UI are worst but rest of features are better than Hero Sense UI.
We are using custom rom because we want to have different UI's on the same mobile. If u want Hero Sense UI then ask HTC not here. You paid money to HTC.
There are only two shortcomings with the Espresso that I dislike, and they can easily be ignored.
One is the bubbling, which most custom roms remove anyways
The other is the color scheme in the mail app. I rather dislike the hot pink or neon blue on a black background, as opposed to the black and green scheme of the Hero SenseUI.
You can try this one which is realy nice:

Hi there
I've noticed in a few of the other forums (while looking for a desire owning friend) that there are a few desire froyo sense roms popping up
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724123
I was just wandering if this meant that at some point we would see similar developments on the ol' hero?
Cheers
boch501
yeahhh it would be nice to have
Porting from desire would be horrible, due to very different hardware, different screen size and different screen ratio.
Very doubtful that a desire port will ever happen. There's really no point as the legend (which is far easier to port from) will get an update to 2.2, and thats a much better bet.
Patience! the devs at the moment are just trying to get a perfect AOSP 2.2 rom first!
yeah it's look like a very good rom, if it's possible to port it on a htc hero, i take it
In Q&A Not development please...
Probably have to wait for the slide to get 2.2 w/sense before it gets ported over

I "gave up" sense full time not that long ago really, and now I don't think I will ever want to go back. As soon as you think it through and make a list of what you actually like about sense, you can soon realise that better things can happen without it.
widgets are easily replaceable or forgotten, UI in some launchers are much much better than sense, better settings and better roms

Sadly not for me (yet!). Things stopping me from going Vanilla:
Flickr Sync... soon to change http://www.flicka.mobi/
Music Widget... http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.piratemedia.musicmod Froyo Only
Bookmarks Widget... no solution (Live Bookmarks maybe?)
Music PLayer LockScreen ... no solution

I did give up Sense for a bit but I missed the widgets the bottom bar sucks compared to LauncherPro, its the widgets that bring me bac.
im using vanilla or froyo depending on mood and what day!
I have used froyo w/sense on my mates desire and i cant wait for it to be on the hero (probably have a better phone by then but nevermind) all the things that put me of sense 2.1 arent there in sense 2.2.... No lag going from screen to screen! stupidly fast (he gets 38-42 on linpack) and hd recording (only on snapdragon i know) if you know someone with a desire cionvince them to root it and put 2.2 on im sure you vanilla fans will love it!!
Hello all I have stuck pretty much with Kaos Froyo ROM but I was wondering if with the upgrades to the Incredible and other releases if someone has made a SENSE Froyo ROM for the Eris?
All Sense ROMs I find appear to be still based on 2.1.
Thanks
Been asked several times. A lot of us are still hoping for some hint of dev work going on.
Its highly unlikely because all the oem froyo sense devices have higher resolution screens. There are no froyo compatible medium resolution sense roms out there to port.
Once the HTC Legend gets the offical Froyo ( Sense ) it will be ported to our devices.
Kaos has on several occasions stated he is working on one, how its coming, well he'd have to tell you that

HTC's "target" delivery date for Android 2.2 with Sense UI for the Legend is "middle September."
This has been confirmed numerous times via e-mails people have written to HTC and received responses (as recent as last week). You can search various forums to confirm that.
So, we should see the Legend get an update very soon. It could be as soon as this week, but my pessimistic outlook when it comes to updates tells me it won't happen until October.
At least it's confirmed that the update is coming. All we can do now is wait and see.
There is at least one Incredible rom with Sense for Froyo. Could we use that?

Wrong resolution. It needs to be HVGA not WVGA.

Would it be hard to change?
Apparently. The HTC Legend is supposed to get a Sense Froyo update soon I believe and when that happens the devs can port it to the Eris.
hi could someone please tell me which sense rom to use on my hero as there is just so much to choose from im sure all are good but I would like the best out of the available ones please thanks , im currently using elinux froyo 2.2.1
Well, first of all this should be posted in the Q&A section, but VillainROM 12 is prob your best bet for all round stability and performance. It's based on 2.1 though so bare that in mind as you are coming from a Froyo 2.2 build.
It's been a while since I used a Sense ROM (got addicted to 2.2 stock) but the best was VillainRom12 or MoDaCo. There are ports of Sense for 2.2 around, but as far as I know they all have hardware issues (such as camera or wi-fi not working).
