Sorry for the n00by question guys! I had a g1 at first and i thought it was broken so I had to get a cliq from tmobile. but i found a way to fix the g1 but i rooted it to use as my experiment phone since i got the cliq. well, after 2 weeks the cliq is starting to be a nuisance. there's "dead spots" in the touch screen because of calibration issues, it's very buggy and i just don't really like it.
sorry for the tangent, i just wanted to share the background of why i was going back to my g1 that i rooted.
so, will a tmobile rooted g1 work with the android data plan? If anyone is wondering I have the MLIGN Hero 3.3 rom on the phone, that won't affect anything will it?
p.s.
thanks so much for the help, i know that this is a very n00b question, but i greatly appreciate the help that will come from you guys.
Nope. Im pretty sure everything will stay the same.
Been switching roms for months now and havent seen any changes to my data plan
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN IF YOU SWITCH ROMS. I been switching ROMs like I will try 3 ROMs a day then use a backup to go to a stable ROM.
With some ROMs to get data you need to put in the correct APN settings so don't freak out if a ROM doesn't support t-mobile's apn for some reason.
wow thanks for quickly replying guys! i didn't check till now because i didn't think i was gonna get anything so soon. I appreciate it :] and thanks for toning down my paranoia haha.
@AndroidNoobie: thanks for letting me know about the whole APNs thing. I would ask you about it right now but i'll use the search tab first if anything pops up, thanks again!
np dude glad to help.
I apologize in advance for not researching this properly myself (in fact I'm usually doing stuff like this for other people), but I am simply overwhelmed by the plethora of information and unlimited posts of ROMs, OC kernels, and all that. I am no longer android retarded; That's for sure.
But I have a busy weekend here looking for an apartment and moving, and I just don't have the time (really) to sift through all this stuff! There's just too much! But in the meantime, the lag I am experiencing on the Hero is pissing me the **** off and I know it can be better, even "snappier" at 768.
I was hoping you guys would be able to give you opinion at the very least on this. I really wish you could just flash once and have everything set-up, but that would be too convenient. I would have to make sure the kernel doesn't break functionality, that the kernel actually works with the rom in the first place, flash the kernel, find a matching wifi module to match the damn kernel, flash the damn module... you get the picture.
So please guys, help me out here! I AM overwhelmed in every sense of the word, and I need your help.
1. Opinions on most stable ROM with most features.
2. Recs for an OC Kernel that will work with it!
3. The wifi module to go along with it.
4. Anything else I'm forgetting...
Thanks in advance and I apologize again for not doing it on my own. I just can't...lol.

May the time always be 4:20... wherever you are.
Word - subscribed. Just bought a Hero for my gf, trying to get it proper, but man, I used to do this with HTC WinMo phones, and this is the exact reason I went to iPhone platform - too much reading, maintenance, reflashing etc (read: TIME) to get the phone to work the way you want. So, I opted to just lose any choice or control over the matter and have a phone that works fine enough and has good app ecosystem
But, I want to get her phone at least fast and stable (most important), I think I'm throwing 2.1 with the .6 update, and will just downgrade to root in the future if we really need wifi tether.
If there is some good info in this thread on which ROM and which kernel with minimum hackish patches etc to make it all work, then I'll go to that! I'm hoping someone just finds a root exploit for .6 since it seems there are some good lag fixes in that update as well.

So is the method to root on 2.1 .5 version and then install this ROM over the top (which keeps your root)?
yep, you got it
Wow..
So I finally got some time to do even minimal research and came across these:
ZenHeroFX 2.0 ROM
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731951
Darchstar's Kernels
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705074
I wiped everything (including battery *whatever*), flashed the rom, flashed the 768MHZ kernel, flashed the % battery meter, and the 2.0 update for the ROM. I never expected it to boot the first time... BUT IT DID! Holy ****! Really?
Now, after setting frequency with SetCPU this thing flies! I cannot describe the difference. Holy ****-BALLS! Finally no lag at all, not even at the keyboard. And no overheating. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect flash!
DrunkenOstrich: This is the perfect setup for you! It worked the first try for me with no issues at all. Just follow the directions step-by-step and you will be good! Also, don't trip out on how long it takes to boot or if it's slow at first. Give it a few minutes to sync up and everything will be badass.
God I feel like such a noob after proofreading this post. lol.
wow... thanks
Ok... thank you so much for doing this. I am in the same boat as you as far as time to research everything goes. I had rooted my 1.5 hero last november and recently upgraded to 2.1. Just reverted to .5 so I could root but was totally lost as far as what ROM would keep me as close to stock as possible.
My goals were to find a ROM that allows me to 1)remove some bloatware, 2) overclock, 3) possibly wifi tether and 4) further improve battery life. I just didnt want to lose any functionality since I really love the hero. Only thing is since this upgrade, it's a slug. OP, Do you think using the ROM/Kernel pair you installed I'd be happy considering my goals?
there's one good way to find out. if you don't like it you can always do a nandroid.

agreed... going to root later on tonight and i'll try both... looking forward to no more lag and some fresh new changes to the UI
Thought I would get more of a performance boost... installed SetCPU and tweaked some settings and its a little better

so i have the infamous samsung moment. you wanna know what really sucks about it? i listened to grooveshark for 10 minutes today. 10 minutes! the battery was at 75% when i started. when i was done, it was at 50%! yes, ive flashed to stock, yes ive tried other roms, yes ive done it all. disabled JIT, had the barest rom ever, and i still cant get a good battery life. so im pretty much set on switching to a new phone. but i need to know what the downfalls of the hero are. is battery life horendous? does it get really hot when you leave it in your pocket? how functional are the 2.2 roms? how much can i optimize it? give me all the info possible, especially stuff about signal strength and battery life. and rooting too, how easy is that? it seems a little unnecassarily complicated on the moment... thanks
Skip the hero and get an epic or evo....or wait a few more weeks and see what else there is. Sprint has already forgotten about the hero.

There's a few 1-click methods for rooting your Hero, so not complicated at all. Also, Hero battery life is pretty decent. Mine lasts all day and then some with moderate use. Other people get some ridiculous battery life out of their Heros with a combination of Decad3nce's kernels and Collin's battery tweak.
CM6 2.2 is more than fully functional I would say. The only problem I've ever had with it was the camera freezing and having to reboot my phone, but with the latest themed CM6 Roms (I.E. Redglass, Extremely Blue, etc), I've yet to have the same problem.
The only time my phone ever got hot was running Wireless Tether and pushing constant data through it for a few hours +.
One of the moderators on the Hero forums (impaler, I believe) has a link in his signature to a website that has about 6 or 7 radios that are compatible with the Hero and the signal strength that you'll receive amongst the radios will depend on your location, but flash these at your own risk as they have the possibility to turn your Hero into a shiny paperweight.
the hero is a nice device. the 4g devices arent worth the premium. data will never be worth what they charge even WITHOUT the ten dollar upcharge on the terribly bulky epic or the over sized evo. no sense getting a 'flagship' device because they change constantly. soon we'll have dual core procs on these phones and even then, consumers wont be happy.
get the hero, my stock rooted is faster/more responsive than my friends stock evo

wow thats a good chunk of info. im pretty much set on getting one now. one more thing, it has to do with overclocking. i *could* overclock my moment to 1.06 ghz, but if i can kill this with 40 minutes of music, thats not gonna happen anytime soon. i know that many hero roms, by default, overclock to 700something, quite a bit up from the measily 560ish that is stock. with either a replacement battery or one of those battery hacks you mentioned (or both ), would it balance out the power needed to run the processor faster? and make it run for 8-10 hours while im at school all day? thanks for all the good feedback guys. now i just need to find someone selling one thats not too scuffed up

Your friend must have jacked up his evo because my wife has one and it blows my OC'ed hero out of the water (CM6.1). You especially notice the speed in the browser and the games that I download on it without permission.
I agree the $10 extra a month is hard to swallow. Just remember that 2 years is a long time to commit to an older phone.
Hero is a nice device. It is small and does not feel like a brick in your pocket. The battery life is not bad. I have not tried any battery tweaks, but with some minor tweaks, I can get anywhere between 18-24 hours on a full charge. The only time I have felt the phone get hot is while wireless tethering.
I got it new earlier this year and as time progressed, I was getting annoyed with some of it's shortcomings, due to the software provided by Sprint. It felt slow, could not utilize the SD card for apps and such. The last straw was when "The Powers" said they won't be giving the Hero any more Android updates...
So, I rooted it and put CM6 (stable). Since then, I have been feeling like a child with a whole new toy. It works amazing, plus no extra 4G surcharge... .
oh something else i thought of. i think the hero has multitouch, please confirm. does it also have flash player? if it doesnt have either, thats ok. the moment has neither

yeah its got multi touch. it doesnt have full flash, officially anyway.

What the battery tweak does is clock your CPU based on certain variables. You can set it's max and minimum limits whilest the phone is running on battery/USB power/AC power. Also, you can change it so it reduces the max CPU usage when the battery is below a certain percentage, as to suck the most time out of your battery.
I have my tweak settings maxed out at 729 mhz for any given variable and a min 176 mhz. My phone lasts all day and then some, for sure. I woke up with it at 75% (put it in airplane mode for the night because I was too lazy to find the charger) and currently it's at 55% after 8 1/2 hours of moderate use.
Results may vary, of course.
edit: I carry around an extra charged battery just in case. There's a Taiwanese vendor on eBay selling 2 spare batters + a wall charger (charges your external batteries without needing your phone with the option of USB charging as well) -- all for $12 or something. Definitely worth it and I think there's a post in the accessories forum with the link to it. Not sure if it died by now or not.
Good luck!
thanks for all this info guys! im cant wait to be able to get one of these things for myself!!! the hard part is the ebay bidding. i already lost 2 auctions that i was aiming for, trying for another one tonight, then done for the day. anywhere else that i might look to get an unlocked hero besides craigslist? i wont buy off there, no way.
EDIT: i finally won a hero off ebay!!! i got it for $110. i think thats a pretty good deal! but i was thinking about the rooting process, and i like the idea of a one click root, but i need a little more info. does the one click root install a recovery also? if it doesnt, is it possible that ROM Manager works with the Hero, and i can install clockwork recovery? i really appreciate all your info guys. thanks a bunch
im starting to feel really bad because im bumping this thread quite a bit, but i have so many questions, and my searches arent showing anything is there a way for me to bring a backup of the /data partition on my moment over to my hero? in the moments recovery, there is an option to backup the /data partition to a .tar or some sort of archive. is it possible that i could take that to the hero, load it, then create a simple nandroid backup? because i hate having to reload all my apps and preferences. thanks for all the help guys, i really REALLY do appreciate it.

The unrevoked method really works, yes.
Personally, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 on my girlfriend's Hero, but I'm not sure about the Recovery, after trying a few different rooting methods, the Recovery just appeared after rebooting, so I'm not sure which one did it.
The method I used to root my Hero is long outdated and was used for Android 1.5 Heros, so no help there.
About the /data backup on your Palm, I highly doubt it. Not natively compatible for sure.

Just start fresh on the hero. Put unrevoked on your hero(if you have firmware 2.27.651.5..... if it ends in .6 or .7 you will have to find the .5 somewhere and downgrade first, it's simple)
After using unrevoked, download Rom Manager from the market and flash clockworkmod recovery. Nandroid backup and then you can start flashing different ROMs.... I love the Cyanogenmod 2.2 builds....have fun!!!!!

yep, i read about the OTA updates to block the rooting. but take a look at this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753910). this implies that you can root the .6 OTA. is that a typo, or legit? the wiki link above also says that .6 is rootable. i know how to downgrade if necessary, though. as far as the unrevoked rooting, i was right then! unrevoked then rom manager will do the trick? awesome thats way easy. and i know that i change recoveries within rom manager... i think im set guys! thanks alot for all your help. ill be sitting on that wiki link for a while. im gonna read all i can before my hero comes im super duper excited!!! and i will have fun!!! i plan on flashing CM6 anyhow
.6 and .7 are both rootable, no need to downgrade.

Hi to all,
1. Awhile ago (in a distant galaxy, far away...) I rooted my Hero and moved over to CM7(a couple of times before getting it right...) During the process then, I failed to safeguard the nandroid backup, and no longer have that to fall back on...
2. Recently, I signed on with Hulu, and now want to use the Hero for watching videos and discovered... no way. I have spent a few days looking into this googling and going where it took me, and have spent today spending my time here looking. After searching and coming away with the realization that it isn't going to happen, I spent some time reading the first eight pages on the forum here to get familiar with the why's and why not's... but still have this little bit of hope that I have missed something... and I stumbled across the Zero Hero mod.
So, before I replace CM7 with Zero Hero, I thought I would check with folks who know way more than me....
1. Not having the original nandroid backup on file to use" in case of emergency" should I just leave well enough alone or use a recent nandroid backup of the currently working system (I am really unfamiliar with backing up in general...) to fall back on? I see no reason to ever need a backup of the original system that came with the Hero but... just checking!
2. If I utilize Zero Hero and replace CM7, will I be able to install Adobe Flash 10.1... or 10.2.. and use it to use on the web in general and Hulu specifically?
3. Am I trading of anything of consequence or importance by replacing CM7 with Zero Hero? (I am of the understanding at this point that CM7 is just not going to work with Flash Player. I also see that I will probably have to use another browser like Dolphin rather than the "stock" on the phone now with Zero Hero which is okay as far as I see things now.)
I will thank everyone now and again later (!!) for any answers, thoughts or opinions on any of the 3 questions together or any single question that they can help with! If your answer is to go ahead and buy a new phone... then I will start shopping!
Thanks a ton for your time and help,
mike :fingers-crossed:

A nandroid is just a snapshot of how everything is at that moment. So you can make a nandroid now and will always be able to go back to it for whatever reason.
Going between cm and sense is just a matter of preference. They both have benefits. Its just a matter of preference. You can install zero and nandroid, then go back to cm or switch between them as you wish.
Flash will never truly work on the hero. The sense roms have flash "lite" but flash won't fully work.
I was addicted to my hero and couldn't think of switching to a new phone. I finally did about a month ago and it really is amazing how much farther new phones are from the hero. I'd sadly recommend upgrading if it's within your means, but there's a few that are always here to help with the hero.

Thanks for your help. After all the effort so far on this, admitting this is deflating... your reply really confirms the slow dawning of this creeping around my head. It is time to retire the Hero I guess after all. :crying: It has been a faithful sidekick all these years.
Off I am to find a new phone, but what to do with all this info. I have acquired??? Guess I'll try to share it when I can...
Can I ask if you would recommend the phone you now have? Unless something else has come out since or is on the horizon??

I switched to Verizon from cspire for several reasons. It's awesome having 4G. I got the s3. I'm loving it. The nexus 4 is coming out soon. I looked around for awhile before i decided. It was difficult going to a 4.8" from a 3.2" but it's nice to have more real estate. Its just up to you. Play with them at the store and you'll eventually find one you like.

Wow, this place is a giant toy box.
So I did what you guys told me..READ and READ. I bought used Inspire as my S3 is broke. Wanted to make it better, know nothing of your world here, hate cell phones but like apps on smartphones, didnt even know this underworld was out there, but it appeared you guys were doing sothing neat here so I read per your instruction.
I did get root and SU without a hitch. I left S-on. I loaded up ROMs and started playing. I just want to comment on something I did and pass it on. I dont know if what I did had been tried, but I really liked the ICS Blackout ROM. So I tried that alone..not bad, then with the new 3.0 Beastmode, really fast but whilst downloading all my apps it comes to a crawl. Reloaded different ways and same thing. reloaded blackout 3.2 alone again. Not bad.
I saw a Beastmode 2.1 and loaded that, then discovered that appears to be made for an HTC one. I had an issue with the setup screen being a diff resolution so I had to hit the menu button to get the NEXT button to take as well as CPU and GPU selections, but it booted and let me say, now the blackout ROM works awesome! can download 10 things at once and do other stuff, the GPS fix works great all bars on the signal, been on this for a few days and no hangs, no stalls, everything works silky smooth I can hardly believe it.
Just wanted to pass this on to any new person who is doing as I and trying to make a good phone great. So It appears beastmode 2.1 can run on inspire, maybe someone else did this, you guys should put a link to it next to the download for Blackout ICS. Glad I read first so I didnt ruin my phone, but mostly It was really fun to learn something new and play here. I'll contribute now that I feel I have demonstrated a minute proficiency. Mike

I dont know if what I did had been tried, but I really liked the ICS Blackout ROM. So I tried that alone..not bad, then with the new 3.0 Beastmode, really fast but whilst downloading all my apps it comes to a crawl. Reloaded different ways and same thing. reloaded blackout 3.2 alone again. Not bad.
I saw a Beastmode 2.1 and loaded that, then discovered that appears to be made for an HTC one. I had an issue with the setup screen being a diff resolution so I had to hit the menu button to get the NEXT button to take as well as CPU and GPU selections, but it booted and let me say, now the blackout ROM works awesome! can download 10 things at once and do other stuff, the GPS fix works great all bars on the signal, been on this for a few days and no hangs, no stalls, everything works silky smooth I can hardly believe it.
Just wanted to pass this on to any new person who is doing as I and trying to make a good phone great. So It appears beastmode 2.1 can run on inspire, maybe someone else did this, you guys should put a link to it next to the download for Blackout ICS. Glad I read first so I didnt ruin my phone, but mostly It was really fun to learn something new and play here. I'll contribute now that I feel I have demonstrated a minute proficiency. Mike
