This is thread about porting the ORIGINAL ROM of HTC HERO that HTC announced in its event on 24th June...........
Any one who gets hold of the ROM please upload it here so that the devs can start porting ...
The ROM that original firmware has is slight different and it seemed to be much more complete and smoother....
THE ROM IS NOT YET THERE>>> THIS IS FOR DISCUSSION
If this a discussion thread then i will move it to general, thanks for the clarification
i cant wait until we get it. hopefully Haykuro shows up with it out of the blue and becomes our Hero.
How does everyone think the Sense UI Rom will run on our G1s? Do you think it will be as fast as it was in the Hero Demo or will it be slightly slower than that because the Dream has less ROM/RAM vs the Hero?
im sure that it will be faster than our current hero rom with a2sd. It might be a little slower but i dont think it should be that noticeable of a difference.
it should be able to run well...swapper will make up for the ram we dont have and a class 6 card will also help our cause.

"HTC's Sense UI not coming to any "Google" branded phones"
We've got some good and bad news... mostly bad, though. First, the good news: HTC is looking into finding a way to bring its new Sense UI -- the one featured prominently in the new Hero -- to its non-Google branded Android devices, such as Canadian carrier Roger Wireless' Magic. Unfortunately, and this is the bad news, even that's not a sure thing, and as you can probably guess from the wording, any phone that's got the "with Google" branding, like T-Mobile USA's G1 and myTouch 3G, won't be getting a chance at all due to the same licensing terms that prevented Microsoft Exchange clients on those same phones. Them's the breaks, folks, but we're sure some hacker with enough know-how will bypass the silly restrictions and do it anyway.

well until the Rogers phones get rooted, they better not leave out the Dream on Rogers or I'm going to be rather upset.
Of cousre I'll take root and a hacked ROM any day

heh this isn't much to worry about. as soon as someone gets hold of the phone, it's only a matter of doing a "adb pull /system system" and uploading it somewhere for us to be able to grab it and run with it

This is why I love xda
does anyone think that this could be done without root, similar to the manual update for T-Mobile 1.5? Maybe you could just edit the contents of T-Mobile 1.5 to add the UI changes?
I really doubt it, if it were possible I think we would've done that with some of the ROMs that have been released. You're on a developer website, you have to take some risks because this is "in development' not finished.
as I stated in another thread, HTC is not bringing sense to "with Google" branded phones, however, there are non google dreams out there, I think roger's is one of them. Once rogers gets rosie, it's gonna be an easy port to any dream rom.
Anyway, if somebody dumps a hero rom, there shouldn't be a reason why it wouldn't run on Dream. Hero is comparable in hardware (memory size and storage capacity) to the sapphire, so it'd only be a matter of making rosie run in less memory (192 vs 288) and fit in a smaller space (256 vs 512). The processors by Qualcomm on both devices are very similar, the hero's being a revision of dream's and sapphire's processors, and they both share the same arm11 core. Both processors are capable of running at 528mhz, so, really, there's very little difference between both devices. Again, a rogers dream port would be better, but Hero port will still work fine on dream
So the Warhawk is a member of the Topaz family so all of the ROMs and software here should work is that correct? I am planning on getting the ATT Pure and am ready to start hacking.
Thanks.
Yep, all Topaz ROMS nd such should work fine. ATT basically just changed the case. Although if there are ever any ROMs for the CDMA version I doubt they will work
I am trying to get my wifes TMOUS MyTouch 3G upgraded to a newer ROM with Sense. I feel comfortable with the whole process of rooting and flashing a new ROM but would really appreciate some advice. I know she wants Sense but I want her to have a very reliable and bug free ROM. I am unfamiliar with the android scene as I have an HD2 that I flash about twice weekly to keep up on the latest and greatest and I myself don't mid a few bugs but I want her to be bug free. I am just wondering what ROM's would be good for her and if there are preferably possibly a Desire/ Legend type RM that merger Android 2.1 with Sense 2.0. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to put this request and I have in fact searched and I have found a few but I don't want to risk putting a bad ROM on her phone and scarring her off. Thanks for the advice I know you guys & gals will give me.
25 Views and still no advice?
Why aren't you patient lol. You make yourself seem like a jackass and bring up haters like myself =) 25 doesn't mean that every member that just viewed it knows the answer. I thought that was pretty basic common sense.
I viewed this and I myself don't have an answer either nor will I search for you. I don't know many sense roms for mytouch3g, since most or almost all of them are basically for 32A which require the 6.35 radio. You would probably know that if you did some work. I only know good sense roms using the 6.35 radio, which you can't use. so I can't give any advice here.
I read somewhere about carriers dishing out the sense ui roms? I don't know if that's with tmo but I heard other carriers are getting it
But, isn't there an official ROM released from HTC WITH sense installed? I know I am using it. It was released at the end of January.
http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=267&act=sd&cat=all
I know I installed this and it works great. + it's official so it will just not install if its not meant for your phone and it is rather bug free.
I hope this helps.
the htc magic is a 32A board mytouch is 32B
Currently I am using the ICON Rom from over there and it has been the closest thing to flawless. I was wondering if the ROMs here are the same as what is available over there. I'm really just trying to get the most stable setup that I can because I'll be handing the phone over to my wife as soon as I can get my hands on a EVO 4G.
the roms here are generally for GSM phones
My rom posted here is the same found in PPCGeeks, it's GSM only.
No seriously.
Am I crazy for want a port of the Rodgers 2.1 update?
I mean I do like the Cyanogen ROM's but I'd REALLY like to have a full working Sense ROM.
And seeing as this update was for the magic, wouldn't a port be fairly easy?
or does the SPL/Radio requirements pose an issue porting to other devices ???
BTW, is anyone working on a port of this or has "choice" died out due to everyone using CM?
You're not crazy, but I wouldn't bet on getting a port for the 1.2. In order to run it needs a completely different radio and spl plus other drivers. Even if someone "coerced" the kernel to run on the old spl and a radio made for another device, you'd still probably be lacking drivers for the touchscreen and the audio jack.
Even if the Rogers Magic and the MyTouch 1.2 are both 32A devices, the hardware differences are noticeable, making porting a very hard job.
That being said, I'm going to check out the price for a Desire from my provider. I've been waiting for this update since early spring and now that it's finally here, the bastards disabled multilanguage and won't release a proper WWE, unbranded version. The speed's nothing to brag about, either...

Damn >_<
Oh well, I just posted up my MT3G & Dask for trade for a MT3G slide or Nexus one
Haha neither will probably happen
Sorry to blow your bubble.
One more thing, could you please rename the topic to something like "official rogers 2.1 update on the fender", so that it's easier for other users to find the answer?
know its a little late but there isn't any need to do anything to the kernel at all
simply move the audio apk's from the 1.6 stock tmo rom for the 1.2 to the rogers package. i would imagine the same would be true with the video drivers
ill do some more research on this but thats basically all thats required
