just a hardware slide keyboard is missing. otherwise it would be PERFECT!!!
Looks quite nice. Does Android do over the air Exchange sync yet?
I see the Hero but... display size is 320x480... how can I see it after HD??? The device is very cool but display s*cks!!!

I think it may be time for me to either switch from winmo (until wm7) or hope that the HTC Sense UI comes out on WM...
That's a really nice looking phone - hope the price is just as nice
Holy ****!
Its incredible!
Nice hit for Android and HTC Bravo!!!!!

Very nice looking phone, really liking the new UI, just like NG-Devil mentioned before, it seems that HTC has taken all the good bits from other UIs and blended them all together... Very interesting, D'Rath said it, tho, could use a bigger screen and screen resolution...

Nice to hear, that the UI should developed for Andrioid AND WinMo.
An a first look video at YouTube.
I hear it doesn't sync with outlook.
What about Tomtom.
If these things don't work then i wouldn't bother...

It's a "google-mobile-phone" (-> Android and not WinMo). ;-) Why Google should support Outlook, if they had an own (online-)pendant.
if any one has seen the "a week with the htc hero" videos from coolsmartphone on youtube, you will notice that the multitouch isn't present in all applications, so far it was demonstrated on the browser and pictures, but when the guy was using google maps, he wasn't pinching out to zoom in, he was using the zoom in button,
any one know if that will be implemented in the future firmware release?

Good observation. Still way better than the aging looking winmo though. Would be nice to have consistent interface still. Wonder why this is not enforced.
I hope the application store takes off more quickly. The device is not going to meet my requirements if I can't find replacements for my frequently used software applications, regardless of how slick the UI is.
Perhaps someone could start a new thread to share information on available applications for Hero?
Well, the HTC Hero is running on Android 1.5 so im asuming it should be able to run all the apps out so far (i may be wrong though)
n e ways i put some thought into why multitouch isnt on the google maps application, and this is what I think.
We all know now, that the HTC Hero isnt a "by Google" phone, The G1 and the Magic are but the Hero isnt.
Secondly, I remember reading somewhere that Google wouldnt put multitouch capability into their software because Apple requested it, hence the reason the G1 and the Magic dont have multitouch even though the hardware supports it.
So HTC must have realised that in order to compete with Apple they need to implement multitouch thus created their own picture viewer software and made a few alterations to the browser to enable multitouch, but other then that I doubt its going to be universal across the whole platform.
Ok I been reading these forums for quite some time now over and over I'm always reading that this here feature or that app can't be add to that Rom because it needs to be a Google or HTC Rom. For example the IM app can't be added to any HTC Rom do to the frame work and other stuff but can easily be installed on the Google Roms. My question is shouldn't we be able to take a lot of features/apps of these HTC Roms and and with a few libs and build on another HTC build. Example. I'm running Haykuro's 5.0.2h shouldn't I be able to take features/apps/libs from hero and port some things over or vice versa? I'm just asking cause I love 5.0.2h cause its stable and the features are one of a kind flake the zoom on the camcorder no othee Rom has it that ive seen but I love the contact sync with Facebook that hero has and some other things. Id k could just port them over to each other it would be a great Rom can it be done they both HTC roms ?
Just bout every rom now has zoom for the camcorder and camera. I haven't found a rom that doesn't.
I dont remember it on the hero rom, the cupcake adp roms ( i didnt try jf's) i just flash back from ion which didnt have it, haykuro's 5.0.2g didnt have it, i mean i can go on for days. They didnt have zoom for the camcorder i have videos i have made but back to the question please. If you not going to post an answer you can keep your 2 cent and move to the next post and waste your time there thank you.
i like your question and idea, i hope u actually get some constructive feedback now instead of hearing how this that or this..good lookin out

Thanks alot man for the support I was just reading how some people took the Exchange emailing app/libs from the Rogers Rom and put it on their phone so there's got be quite easy to take features from hero and maybe even donut (if its HTC) and put them on my 5.0.2g

I'm on hero and have zoom, been on the dudes build (cupcake) and that has zoom. I mean I can go on for days to. And to answer your question as long as its the same based rom (htc or google) you should be able to port over.
Ok well if its so easy as people say then im wondering why people are having such a hard time porting over apps widgets, programs, etc from hero (not rosie). I would like to have the text, stock, weather widget, the contacts that sync with facebook, the browser with flash, and many more "hero" features on 5.0.2h. I mean they all htc frame work and i know some programs depend on the frame work of the rom but there has to be a easy way around it for non developers like me and others. Also if someone does know of a way can you show steps in the terminal emulator I'm in the hospital and don't have my laptop with me

The stuff you want ported over can't be done yet. If you want the weather widget they have one that looks like it but not the same.
What is the best and most user friendly browser for Android phones?
or is it Google's?
Didn't realise there were other browsers out there for Android until your post.
Tried out the Dolphin one, it works great. Gonna use that one now.
Didn't install the Steel one as the market comments say that the previous version was better.
The browser on the Hero is slightly customized from the standard google one isn't it? Dolphin doesn't have multi-touch I guess?
I currently use 3 browsers, depending on what I need at that time :
- the HTC Hero internal browser : multitouch and can handle flash
- dolphin browser : has the best interface, but does not support multitouch on the Hero. Maybe on future Android platform (2.0) ? And also does not support flash.
- opera mini 4.2 because it is the fastest, especially on slower (GPRS) networks. No flash, no multitouch, worse interface.

The Cyanogen mod for the G1 supports multitouch with Dolphin, but just like you stated, I have to agree on 2 of you options:
"- dolphin browser : has the best interface, but does not support multitouch on the G1. Maybe on future Android platform (2.0) ? And also does not support flash.
- opera mini 4.2 because it is the fastest, especially on slower (GPRS) networks. No flash, no multitouch, worse interface."
I'm happy on the standard browser.
But having come from WM where I used the beta version of Opera Mobile 9.7 I'm looking forwars to using the Opera Turbo on my Hero when they release it finally. It sped up browsing a hell of a lot ( just a few seconds to load any website)
dont like the standard brower at at. it is just too slow, have too wait 5-10 sec before something shows up... just too long.
even my old nokia e51 works faster.
Dolphin
Dolphin has a pretty big footprint (check in Taskiller), and has the annoying habit of starting spontaneously, even if not used. For me a reason to stop using it.
Looks like Dolphin has working multi-touch on the Hero now. I am going to give it a try for a few days.
Dolphin for me
Hi guys,
Just to give u my opinion.
I used steel a while ago, not sure which version it was, i found it ok but no better if not worse than the standard browser.
Switched back to standard one until i stumbled across this thread and found dolphin was available.
I find dolphin drastically quicker and the whole interface a lot better.
Multi touch on hero IS supported on the latest version but tbh its not a feature i find myself using that much anyway.
The gestured browing on dolphin is also a treat once it is set up, takes a bit getting used to but stick with it, its great.
Just my thoughts guys
Dolphin is quite interesting. I'm trying it out right now. Addition of multitouch is quite important for me. I'm enjoying it so far.

How have you managed to use more than one browser? Once I downloaded Dolphin, any time I click a bookmark (even in bookmark widget) or link it always opens up in Dolphin...

Furry, Opera 10 is available in Beta right now... m.opera.com/mobile on your phone to get it..
*edit* Actually I tried to install it and it downloaded as a .sis file. Whatever that is. no luck yet...

So you made it the default browser at one time or another. I did never select that option (this choice comes up if I want to open a link).
I choose the program I want to use from the program list... for example wikipedia is text based and very fast on Opera when I am on a GPRS network.
I don't use the bookmarks widget ...

.sis files are for symbian platform phones like nokia
I said I was working on something new. Well, here it is!
First of all, you MUST be running Ivan's 0.7 or 0.5.4. This may work on other roms, but I have NOT tested it.
In short, this removes rosie. To be safe, make a nandroid before you install it. All Widgets/Sense Homescreen/all extra sense related apps are removed. A Full list is at the link below. It returns the phone to close to stock android. I'll be updating soon with a few more features.
More info at here.
Thanks!
EDIT :
figured out what it does.
thanks!
trying it now. Can't wait for it. Thanks for all your hard work!!
noob question! r u ready? whats senseless? is sence the main os thing kinds? on my task manager htc sence is like the main os, do u replace it with like aHome ir somthing like that?
sense is the overlay that HTC made for the phone. with the nice shiny user interface. senseless removes all of that and uses the stock android look, which many people find nicer. senseless also deletes any HTC sense releated apps that wont be used so the phone runs smoother.
thanks i really appreciate that help. im new to the android scene. its a little small due to all the different phones runnind different tweaks but i love the community so far. not like the psp or iphone one but i deffenitly like it, everyones friendly
Really looking forward to trying this out when I get home. First I have to install Ivan's, but this is exactly what I have been looking for.
You said it basically removes rosie, is that all? I could do that with root explorer, couldn't I?
thank you for this. applied this to my fav ROM instead of searching through root explorer for each sense apk. this made my fav rom a lil faster. thanks again for ur hard work
Works on Ivan's 0.81T2.
Now if can hack the incoming call screen it will be perfect.....
hi, i have the icedhoneybun rom . i still have issues with the slow texting response. i will text a wrod as "hello" and i will hit the "hel" and then the phone will begin to type the words. it is annoying and get confusing when i am trying to type because the phone will assume i am holding down a word to get the other input like the number 1 . will overclocking fix this problem ? does anyone know which ROM has the fewest problems? i do not use twitter or face book or finger prints or any social apps
thank you for any help you guys can give.
I just switched from dc2.8 to darch's newest ROM. So far not a single problem, except for accessing a wap site but I doubt that's the ROM's fault. What text program are you using? Also what keyboard? Swype beta is open to everyone now I think, look into that also.
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
i have the stock htc verrrry lagggy keyboard
Hi I have the iced hunybun Rom and have the hero HTC stock keyboard. I have tried swype but I don't like it. It give misspellings a lot of the time.
Turn off vibration?
I prefer regaw mod... the best one out of all I have tried. Stable, everything works, and good on battery.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
darch droid is the best bet. FAST!!!
hi regawmod and darkdroid?
Hi what forums can I find the links for these. Roms? I have tried the blue eco. And still very slow in texting and web page input in the URL or this forum
Right now Ian using buffed with the overclocking and removed haptic response and vibration. And still a lagging keyboard. I don't like swype and yes swype lags as well
I have the AOSP Voice keyboard. It looks like the swipe keyboard with a voice input button. It has been the best keyboard I have used so far. This should be the link:

Try blue echo again. I just released a new build and will have one final update tonight. Just remember to change the keyboard out to the android keyboard and its extremely fast
The android keyboard is significantly faster than the HTC keyboard. If you're looking for less lag, ditch the HTC keyboard. Darchdroid types very well from my experience.
