I'm 99.9% sure it can't be done. Even on other HTC models it's already very hard to port over, much less a different brand of phone.
hello Sir , so you can do it and send it to every one ?!

In the immortal words of dumd and dumber
" so your saying theres a chance"
what about just porting the touchwiz and the parts it needs at first then the rest of the os
I think due to the Galaxy S being an hdpi device it would be a near impossible job of porting it to our mdpi Hero. I think the nearest you'll get is a theme. I currently have a near complete framework port of all the images, scaled and re-9.png'd it looks cool but it's still not the ROM is it.
I wish I could do this for all Hero users too. I saw my coworker has bought a samsung galaxy. This device is really fantastic. Also its customized andriod system is very impressive. For instance the overview of desktops. Not like HTC, all desktops are reduced to a almost unreadable size but are aligned in one line. The menu font can be changed. The contact list looks more like iphone style. For me, the buttons in HTC sence look too bigger. This will also minus some points.
I bought my HTC hero last october. But the device has been slighly dropped to ground twice but looks optically very terrible now. And the microphone in headset does not work properly. Generally speaking the HTC qulity is not quite confident to me. Plus the attractive samsung software, I am now heavily considering to switch to samsung. (Smartphone is a great thing. I cannot help to wasting more money on it)

Well the themed framework should run on any 2.2 Froyo ROM. But to achieve the look you need to be able to change the Clock, Date, Notification text colour etc... like in CM6 or Fusion.

I tried this on top of a Sense ROM (Villain12) yesterday,.. this morning my alarm didn't sound, the jogball started going crazy, but there was nothing I could do to turn it off.
Maybe best to try on non-Sense/Vanilla ROM.

I have tried it and it does run, but there are some alignment and graphical issues. This would be due to the resolution it was meant for, Nexus and the like. This guy over here - http://forum.samdroid.net/f42/touchwiz3-launcher-spica-mdpi-screen-1615/ seems to have scaled a version down to fit mdpi devices. Not sure if it works but gonna give it a go. If so, the next cool thing would be to see if we can get some of the widgets to work with it.. ? :S

works fine on the fusion froyo rom, shame none of the samsung widgets are included.
apart from that, its perfect!
Anyone care to take a crack at porting this to JK6? I think it looks great!

I don't know if you bothered to check or not, but there's 2 gingerbread themes for the vibrant already.
EDIT: There's 3 version for Vibrant.

I did. One only changed the status bar, and the other had a drop down that looked totally different and doesn't look like any of the gingerbread drop down menus I've seen.
I also saw one for CM 6.1 but that doesn't help me either
Yeah that looks sexy...do any of the current Gingerbread ones work on Macnut 14?
Yeah this looks to be the most complete theme. Love that smooth AOSP lockscreen.
That is a beautifully ported ROM to the Captivate. I would love to see that on Vibrant! I personally am not fond of the data signal icons but hey, that's a simple change if we can get a port!
Ive got finals coming up, but I may tear this apart and see how easily it can be ported.
I got the one for cm6 and I might say it is impressive.. but if ur still not happy with these nice themes. Then I say download that and pull the framework-res.apk images and build from there...

It's not that I'm not happy with the cm6 one, but I'm not running cm6 on my phone so it doesn't work for me.
after flashing all versions of android I m still confused which version is best for our HTC hero 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3??? What do u say..???
or say which android version do u use?
Right now I actually use 2.1 and I find it fast. Way faster than 2.2 and 2.3. I can't really find many limitations except the notification power widget!

yes you are rite I too find 2.1 best for hero...
I also use 2.1 and I am completely satisfied with this version. Well, on the other hand, I haven't tried 2.2 and 2.3. Personally, IMO hero's hardware is not suitable for the higher versions.
---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------
And I would also make your question more wider: Which ROM do you think is the best for Hero?
In no particular order, my 'best Roms' for hero;
Elelinux final Android stock/special edition
VillainRom 13
Vanilla eclair 6
Froydvillain 1. 7
Tesla
OMFG
Gingervillain (hopefully !!!)
Still think the only Rom we lack is sense 2. 2, reckon hero latte would join the list when complete or chocolate froyo
Well, when I was asking a question about a favourable ROM, I could have added mine
It's VanillaEclair6.0 - its creator promises to publish a 6.1 version tomorrow so probably it is going to be my favourite for next

For me villain 13 and vanila eclair 6.0 but I like sense a lot so I stick with Villain rom..?
I only stick to Gingerbread ROMs because I want all the latest updates, and I won't use 2.2.1 or lower on any phone because it still has that text bug that sends your messages to the wrong contacts
Gingerbread works quite well on the Hero though, even with Sense
I have been a Hero user for about ehm 3 months now. and got my phone with GB. But then I tried some 2.2 roms. Speed machine and Floyo. Both nice.
And then VR13 and VR12, VR12 beats 13 hard on. mostly because it is way more stable... and then I tried VE4 cuss my friend was like DO IT... And I was like It looks lame...
But then I was amazed XD and today I tried Sense 2.1 on GB and I was like. Omg I have to wait for the menu to pop up for 3 sec... 3 sec... just gone... So I went back to try a sense 2.1 rom. Ele reloaded. Awesome rom. Love the sense part. then VE 6 Wich I am still using now But I am gonna do some rom stuff myself. I hope

try as many as you can dnt forget to tell me which 1u liked the most....
It would be interesting to know what is the usage ratio between sense and no-sense custom roms. I know it is not possible to gather such information so that the outcome would be truthworthy, but would be kinda interesting to know.
Well I consider myself a veteran Hero user
I was a flash junkie and I never did anything to change the rom that the dev who made it.
Now I am changing roms and doing my own thing on it. And well the best rom I think there is. well non is the best.
Every user has his/her own taste.
ATM I am the sort of the dev of Vanilla Eclair 6 series and I like it very much, but 1 thing I hate the most. That is the crappy BT support in it, I am now trying to get that rom to have the BT support 2.2 roms have. Then for me that rom would be awesome.
I was a big fan of sense. but since you can get the stuff sense has with free alternatives and it uses less resources on the hero and you can customize more I go for AOSP roms or CM roms.
I prefer AOSP Roms cuss of the simple fact those run the smoothest on the Hero and uses almost 0 battery in Idle.
With my Droid X I was able to use ROM Toolbox to customize everything. Now when I try, It doesn't work. Could somebody please either explain how or point me in the right direction on how to change the color scheme, battery icon, WiFi icon, signal icon, boot animation, boot logo, and anything else changeable by ROM Toolbox? Thank you ahead of time because I would really like to know how to do this!
So all of you AT&T Galaxy Note owners have no idea how to do this? Right along with me? Hopefully someone could help with this question....

Download cm9 or aokp if you want to customize
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
most of the newer ICS leaks don't allow you to do much of this customizing; the GB ROMS still allow this though..
it won't be much longer, once the "official" ics is released by sammy, things like this will be remedied
Thank you all! I appreciate it. So there is an official CM9 fully working?
Sent from my Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note Running ICS 4.0.4
the latest release on 5-25 pretty much works completely, just a few little quirks..you can use it for you main rom now though
im a person who likes to customize colors also .. im quite a nit-picker
I as well used rom toolbox on my droid x so I kniw what your expecting ir would like as those where good features to theme. Unfortunately it doesn't work for the note..if you are still on gingerbread try uot kitchen to build some tweaks to your current theme or rom its awesone and very very easy to use plau with alot of theming options available ..

The cm9 build here has many bugs so bad (speaker volume) very low.. I had to resort going back to my other rom..I really love cm9 rom besides the volume issues (hopefully you text more then calls) ..
Good ol days changing all the colors and what not on the Droid X....ahhhh I remember those..
Lol those were the days. I'm on stock leaked ICS latest version. Don't want CM9 if it still has all those bugs. Thanks though

I have tried Molten 2.3 redux, Liberty3, Eclipse 2.3 and yes also the ultra popular CM7 . Honestly leave CM7 out beause it has a huge impact on my mms and sms and I don't like that ! Anyways you guys should recommend any other ROMs I have not listed or tell me which is better of the top three ! Thank you
I would recommend eclipse. I havent tried gaming on it but I'm sure its a ok. Give it a try, if you don't like it try another rom. flashing never hurts

spoke too soon, cm10 is one buggy beast. cheers!
Lorenzo VonMatterhorn said:
i mean , if you are someone who plays games on a console, and mainly uses a computer for communication/web browsing , cm10 is by far the best phone experience available for the droid x2. i use mine for mainly sms, mms, calls, playing music, and a bit of browsing/youtube . i have never had even ONE force close. it all depends on what you use your phone for i guess. the thing is, once you have used 4.0+ for a decent amount of time , gingerbread (even looking its best in eclipse) is bland and stiff. it is really hard to go back.
also, it really doesnt matter if it is gingerbread or jellybean, the reason this phone has so many issues is purely our lack of ram. something i had no idea to even pay attention to when looking at phones. i can be running eclipse 2.3, and if i even try to have a widget that requires data , or anything more than one or two "add on apps ", my phone either force closes things, or just hot reboots itself just like when it was stock. it is an awesome phone. my first android phone. and also the most frustrating phone i have ever owned. sorry , i usally dont type much and figured i would give my fifty three cents on the subject. cheers!

Thanks for really making me see on the bright side of cm10 So do you have anything frozen with Titanium Back up? Because last time i ran cm10 i had little to no ram of space and i didn't install any other apps. My ram was about 59-102 MB left, I'm pretty sure it is because we lack ram space but yes

i just run absolutely no apps besides what comes on cm10, and i loaded an inverted youtube and gmail that i found that work just fine. funny you responded, because all afternoon this thread has had me thinking about if i am actually happy on cm10. i do miss being able to use atleast a few apps, and not have to worry if they will even work. i do also miss knowing that if i want to, i can take a video. im kind of in the same boat as you. every time i try a new rom, i miss eclipse. ugh.

Ha same here man I decided to go with cm7 and wow ! Not in a good way lol. My battery drained so quicky. Usually My battery would be at 90 by the end of the school day (using Eclipse 2.3) but with CM7 it was around 64 . Well I'm curently thinking of going back to Eclipse but I also really like Molten 2.3 and Liberty I don't which to pick but I rather use Gingerbread because I get on Facebook, Twitter, and play some gaming through out the day. Well let me know if you decide to go back to Eclipse 2.3 or you give Liberty or Molten 2.3 a try
i would have to say that it has gotten very old wondering if certain apps will work on cm10. also i find myself not feeling , for lack of a better word "secure" that my phone will be able to make the call, or send that text. ill get 3 texts lumped together while i have perfect signal, and who even knows what my battery is even at? not me. :crying: lol. eclipse has always been my favorite in terms of speed and stability. back to 2.3 and a fully functioning (reliable) phone . i am going to see about learning to make a few more themes for us for 2.3 as well. since it seems to be this phones only hope. the things that bug me about cm10 will never be fixed. so time to accept the gingerbread truth . :good:
