This may have already been discussed but I couldn't find anything in the search. Has anyone done this or is it even possible to do? Are there any other ways to get 2.2 with sense on the Hero?
Not possible from evo. Its build for a different processor. Best bet will be when the legend gets there official release and gets ported over.

Which is why it goes in the Q&A section.... because it's for Questions .... You'll come to understand that we like things orderly around here... Anyway... as been answered, no not possible...
And 2.2 getting to Hero? Hah... no, not happening
Anything is possible. Officially? Probably not. Besides JIT, I cant see it offering anything worthwhile for me personally. I have a computer for junk requiring flash. My hero, currently, is blazing fast and so responsive that Im left thinking about my next touch...my device is always waiting on me.
I want a cdma legend.
Hero won't get an official 2.2 update. Sprint has said so already. That's not to say they won't release an update on August 13, but it won't be 2.2
who cares where this is supposed to be but it's here now. Anyways what really should be asked is whether someone is gonna port the desire 2.2 official rom to busy watching evo

Knowing Sprint it will be an update back to 1.5.
As far as I know, the closest thing to a fully functional Froyo on the CDMA Hero would be Cyanogenmod 6.
According to this link, the only thing NOT working is the PREVIEW for the camera apps. Otherwise, from what I've read, its an all around stable ROM ready for daily use.. As long as you're not co-dependent on your camera.
I'm thinking of taking the leap today.

Desire froyo is way to big to be ported. The best chances for a full port of froyo is from a legend build which when it comes out in the next month or so I already know someone who is getting ready for the port. Other than that the home made froyo is all that's gonna work for now.

Been using CM6T4 for over a month as daily... camera preview? Just use camera magic for that and for camcorder... well that's the sacrifice I made to have this phone run waaayyy faster and the battery life last waaayy longer than any other ROM out there

Are you serious??? Have you not seen the post for CM6.0.0?
Just so you know, that's Froyo, build FRF91, overclocked to 768mhz. Only thing that doesn't work is flash, b/c it's written for an arm7 processor, not an arm6.

Yes im using FRF91 but I have not seen a reason to upgrade past T4... I am overclocked to 768 and using everything that the new build has.... but again, no reason to upgrade past that.
the new nightly builds have camera preview and camcorder working

I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on why my JIT my be locking up my phone. Once I enable it, it runs fine but every now and then my phone will freeze and do a reboot cycle. Yes I have HTC lockscreen disabled as well as sense. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

From what I understand JIT is very unstable at this point. Since FroYo has JIT built in hopefully we will be able to cook up a 2.2 rom when it comes out. Regardless I'll be on the Evo by then but I might still try to work up some Hero magic

Oh man, if I could get froyo on the hero that would be great. I'm giving the EVO some cushion time to work out any defects. I love HTC, but manufacturing quality has proven to be a slight issue in the past.
I tried pulling my log to see if I could find where the phones locking up, but no luck I'm thinking I've got something that doesn't want to play with JIT tho, cause I don't remember having these issues when I first flashed, but who knows.

The link you provided is for the SDK. We need the actual source to compile it. I don't think that's going to be released until June.

True but that's my point. Whichever devs decide not to spring for the Evo should definitely be able to get it working. Let's just hope it works with our current .29 kernel. I have a feeling it's going to need something more since the kernel that comes with 2.2 is going to be .32. But you never know. We got 2.1 working with .27 after all.

Google's official FroYo statement they put out today said it was going to use 2.6.32. Hopefully it is possible to use .29 though
So now that Google has release the SDK for 2.2 do you think we will start seeing it ported over to our heros?
engadget link: http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/android-2-2-sdk-goes-live-developers-likely-unable-to-crash-goo/
yeah, is this even a possibility at all? I'm guessing no since you needed a link from Sprint to get 2.1 on there. Am i right?
Lol would be awesome to see 2.2 on the hero though. now we just need another 3 years for the "Official"[Official]{Official} release of it from sprint lol
I am just waiting for the Evo
yes i think we should see it ported, we have some of the brightest devs here, if people stop insulting them lol i could see the port real soon, believe or not this cdma section has some talent.
Yes you will
will 2.2 work on older devices? i know google said it will work on all new 2010 android phones but i'm curious if it'll work on the hero, moment, g1, etc. i'd say yes.

Wow, we have had "official" 2.1 for 1 day and already asking for 2.2. Not like it wasnt forseen but it is still funny.
I just want to make a note here:
The 2.2 SDK is not the 2.2 OS Software.
***INSERTING FOOT IN MOUTH*** QuietCB has shut me up about the OS rant that was here.
posted this is gen discussion but thought it was funny enough to post here.
just ask engadget for a 2.2 leak. lol. oops, learn2blur
with the emphasis on Google's wanting to stop the fragmentation of builds out there, i think that our brilliant devs will do it, probably very AOSP-y
I just hope HTC releases a phone with 2.2 soon so we can not only have 2.2, we can have it with Sense.
I want JIT and Sense working together
i was just curious if the hero was getting the 2.2 update? doesnt look like much of a difference but im still curious
It is highly unlikely that we will see an official release of 2.2, but the devs here on this forum will try to work on it. darchstar has already stated that when the 2.2 source is released and implemented into Cyanogen mod, he will port it over.
While it might seem that different, there are a lot of major changes, especially in speeed. The Market has an autoupdate feature in 2.2, Apps2SD is built in (but, I assume, it's not based on our same Apps2SD. Just the same function), and JIT is fully functioning and working as it should. The Nexus One running 2.2 runs almost 8 times faster than it does with 2.1, or so I've been told.
lol, let the 2.2 threads begin....
We barely got 2.1.
Im sure after the devs get froyo working, sprint will steal it, mod it slightly, leak it back out to the devs for them to tweak, and us to test, then sprint will release it officially about 6 months later, blaming htc for the hold up and it will still have tons of problems. Then the devs will figure out how to root it and sprint/htc will put out a update almost the next day to patch the root exploit.
Anyone else have a idea?

So would you say it will be an ......"extreme" improvement (har har har oh not funny). Yeah your right we'll probably never see an official release. Unlike tmobile who have said or rumored to say all their phones that can get it will.

I would love to see 2.2 on my Hero. Especially because that would mean I could go into Sprint and show them that my Hero is running faster than their EVO
thanks for the feedback guys. yeah i was watching videos of the nexus one running 2.2 and that thing was blazing fast!!!
i sent HTC a message last night asking if the hero was going to get the 2.2 release and this was there response...
(Hello Chris, Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC America Technical Support about your device. Before releasing a ROM update we have to be sure that the software is going to work properly on your hardware and on your carrier’s network. This testing does take some time but will result in an update that is optimized to work on your device and on your carrier’s network. While we want to release software as soon as we can we will only do so once the software has passed our quality standards. At this time we do not have any information about an update for your device. When the update is released it will be announced on HTC.com.)
So basically "We don't feel like it"

Yeah but the gratia is more different than the Hero. The legend is basically a remade Hero with a 600mhz processor in it. This will definitely mean something
Also this helps bridge the gap closer to our own fully functioning 2.2w/sense rom. If this rom helps us fix bluetooth, gps, and camera issues, it's all downhill from there, and we will finally have our own 2.2
