Hi guys,
Recently I've received an 'old' HTC Hero. This is my first smartphone and I'm looking to upgrade to 2.2.
I've never done this before but I'm interested because at least 2.2 is needed for certain apps I'm interested in. I was wondering if you guys can give me some pointers on how to do this.
I looked at this post on the forum, 2.2.1 Froyo.
So I should make a backup and then just do it? Is there any danger involved or can I always go back to the 2.1?
Thanks for your help!
You should probably go with Elelinux 2.2 or 2.3.7 if you want it to lock vanilla, if you want ICS look go with shpongle...

sooooo
since we have had root for weeks now... and theres custom roms starting there way onto the eris..
has anyone... or can someone put together a 2.0.1 or a 2.1 vanilla rom?.
...
I have already asked this question... No one has ported 2.0.1 to the Eris and There is really no point in doing so. There is only Cupcake[1.5] and Ecliar[2.1] available to the Eris as of now.

We can't really do it until we have the 2.1 kernel source code or we successfully fix everything we have on the older kernel used for eris's 1.5
As far as a theme, its a work in progress. Mostly because, i'm working on it. I"ll post it if I get anything done.
This is as close as we have so far, thanks to GrdLock:

I successfully upgraded my x10 mini to Android 1.6 and I'm not happy with it. Does anybody can help me to downgrade to 1.6 firmware version?
Why would you want to downgrade it? it's not like they removed features, I thought it feels more responsive and generally has more features.
Im not really sure its possible to downgrade other than flashing an old ROM, but im not 100% sure
It is possible.. Look at this thread for the 1.6 image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826469
The flash tool are in the same section on the forum..

We all know about the bluetooth improvement, but I can't pair my phone with the hands-free system in my car anymore.

Thank you very much. I will give it a try.
Hello, been having wars with my provider (signal) so now im back , there's a few questions i need answered.
1. my andriod is V2.1, Build :2.0.a.0.504, is this the best build for a generic x10i from SE?
2. Will this version support multi-touch, if it requires upgrading, will it remove my settings again?
3. Im looking at doing the beta Froyo upgrade, isnt it possible to run the SE "bloat" programs like Mediascape and timescape and creatouch on it?
4. Im trying to figure away to tunnle a connection so i dont need to use easyteether, i know Froyo has this ability with it, but how can i get 2.1 to get this? or do i still require an app on my driod to do that, as i find that the app bottlenecks it from time to time. (done tests where my Internet on pc slow, but the phone quicker)
5. i ran a rooting program, where u switched off an on ur phone, and it installed a super user program, isnt there another way to just make it super user with out having to have the super user application which i could of gotten from andriod market?
Please assist
p.s aren't you guys already working on throwing out 2.3 for the x10 already? or was it just a rummor?

Short answer; no. Maybe creatouch, but not media/timescape

Froyo has the ability built in, but SE's kernel does not support native teethering. You're stuck with 3d party teethering apps.

Rooting the phone can be done without installing SU and installin SU does not root your phone. SU is a program that tells you what other programs ask for "admin" on your phone and lets you decide if they should hav it.

2.3 is being worked on, allthough the dev working on it just had a hardware failure on his HDD, so he has to start over.

Hi,
I also didn`t live near americas (hell there`s atlantic ocean between us ) and i have 435 installed.
It will wipe all your thing.
Just like format c: (**** i miss that)
The best way to do everything with just one tool is flashtool. There you can do almost everything.

You can try Asgard 3.1 it is excellent, you will need to load the gingerbread bootloader 1st, then the Gingerbread rom. There is no official release as of today....... but Most of the 2.3.4 JVP roms are all awesome
Thanks man ur a life saver....i'll try out that rom thanks

My incredible is rooted running 2.2 and would like to upgrade with gingerbread.
I have tried a few things but seems that the ROM file that I have been able to download won't open.
Also, is CM7 better than gingerbread?
Please help.

Hi - if you have not found it by now there is a great thread about this here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19356442#post19356442
wildstang83 - packaged up the OTA and made a flashable ROM that works perfectly. I had rooted with Unrevoked just to freeze some bloat and for the fun of it but had never done a ROM before this so I was definitely apprehensive but with a little help from Titanium Backup I'm purrring along with Gingerbread now.
Although I thanked him in person with a PM I would like to let anyone know who reads this he knows what he is doing and on top of that seems like a really good dude. So go for it and thanks again wildstang83!
