Newbie ROM Question

Hey all, recently bought the Sprint HTC Hero CDMA, got it rooted, flashed, and using ModACO 2.2 Custom.
Before and After I installed the ROM
When I go to "settings" > "phone info" it says "firmware 1.5"
My question is, can I install a custom ROM that is higher than Android 1.5, or can I only use the custom ROMS under Android 1.5 category?

First of all, as long as your posting a general question you "NEED" to post it under "General" or "Q&A" category!!
Once you are rooted, you can install "any" ROM that's compatible with your device and carrier!!!
Can some admin please move this thread to appropriate section?

Sorry and Thanks
Sorry, wasn't sure if I should do general or here just because it has to do with ROMS.
But, thank you for answering my question

I bet you guys are great to party with. Do you call the cops on someone that's had a couple beers too? Let the mods do their job. They don't need you crying tattle-tale.
To answer the original question, yes you can use any ROM in this section whether it's 1.5 or 2.1. Just pick one that has the features you want and go for it. Be sure to nandroid.

Going to try Aloysius 2.1
It has Apps2SD already installed it so it says, I've still been trying to get that to work right.
You just gotta wipe phone, partition sd fat32+ext2+swap, than install the new update.zip ROM right?

Just follow the instructions the the thread of the ROM of your choice. You'll do fine.

Well said sub. Well said. But yes just follow directions and search the forum. You will learn a lot.

Yeah...Make sure to backup anything on your sdcard to your computer including your very 1st nandroid. Do not lose it. Which recovery do you have 1.6.2 or 1.5.2 or 1.2.3?
When creating the partitions, leave the defauts as they are unless you plan on installing 800+ apps. Most of the time the ROM will tell you what to do. Always nandroid and also copy your nandroid folder to your computer so you don't lose everything if you sd card fails

MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A

I have 1.2.3
I got Aloysius up and running, still having trouble with the Apps2SD though.
Once I go into DConfig and save my settings it asks me to reboot. Not sure why, but phone won't start up with microSD card in it. It reads the card if I put it in after reboot though.

[Req] Notification Panel Redesign

I found this over on the CDMA forums and wondered if anyone had seen it or tried to get it working on our Hero's?

would love this! =)

It's a nice one.

Looks interesting! I think you need to compile a hero version of cyanogen with that new xml for it to work.
I'm actually trying it now, so fingers crossed and I'll report once I've got the ROM running
(compiling on laptop... sllllooowwwww)

Lol... patience, my young padawan. Turns out that the original xml posted in Droid Mechanics' blog was not compatible with the current CM6.1 source format, so I needed to edit that.. (something about id assignment) resuming compilation as we speak
EDIT: it also turns out that I've pushed my little lappy a bit too far; my linux partition is outta space. I'll continue work when I'm on my big machine again at home. Prolly later tonight (if I don't crash driving home through the snow )

Excellent Look forward to seeing this working.

Okay this is kind of very off topic... But how did you get your link to show blue??

Just quote his post to see the where hes used the bb tags

Okies... I've managed to get it working
But...
1) The carrier text is not displayed correctly (should be right-aligned)
2) This _will_ change your framework-res.apk. Having build it using CM6.2.0 RC0 (currently nightly), it _might_ not work on other ROMs.
Once I get the text properly aligned I will put up a framework-res.apk and a metamorph package for those who want to try

Cool Thanks for taking this on.

Ok, I've solved it
Now all I need to figure out is how to get it to you guys. What ROMs are you using?

Wow nice!
FroydVillain 1.7.2 over here

I've created a two options for you guys to try... but first:
DONT FORGET TO NANDROID
Having said that: I honestly do not know if this will work or not (my hero is also also my main phone and is currently running my own custom build of CM6.1), but for those brave enough to try here you go!
(all files can be found HERE)
Your options are to:
replace your framework-res.apk with one of these (this will reset any theme you've applied!):
(plain) Cyanogen 6.1 - Stable
Floyo 1.2.0
Froyd 1.7.2
or use a metamorph
(plain) Cyanogen 6.1 - Stable
Floyo 1.2.0
Froyd 1.7.2
Again, I have no clue if this will work, so backup first! I recommend a wipe of cache (and maybe dalvik) as well.
Post if it works or not. If this way turns out to be one big mess, I can share my private build, but hopefully this will work.

can it be done to Hero 2.1 with SENSE?

Sorry, but no. The framework is totally different and the power widget is exclusive to Cyanogen mod CM6 which is android 2.2 based.

Great to hear!
Did you metamorph or did you replace the framework-res.apk?

Will you be doing a gingerbread framework version of this?? (metamorph doesnt work for me )

It is in there, someone had to manually install it to get it to work. I'm not sure, let me know if it doesn't and I can install it on first boot.

Got everything installed fine, but ended up finding two bugs. First was the mouse pointer not oriented correctly and not able to hit the right side of the screen. And second is when I reboot my Adam it just sits at a black screen and cant get back into recovery. I have to run the official Notion Ink fix to revert to stock and start fresh.
Any ideas?

The first issue is related to an accelerometer fix. Check the gtablet VEGAn-Tab post I link to for more information. There is a patch to fix the mouse issue, but then you use support for the games with x-y swap for the accelerometer.
The second issue isn't related to the ROM, but with the Adam's partition layout and clockworkmod or the stock recovery. It gives random issues like that to me every so often. If you keep having it, change to a different recovery then try again.

Do you have cwm installed? I've noticed this issue only with cwm installed.

Hi Rothnic,
is there something I have to keep in mind if I currently have installed the EdenX rom and want to install yours?
thx
André

I had the same problem and its because CWM doesn't flash the bootloader. Or maybe CWM incorrectly flashes the bootloader but either way it always hangs eventually. Stick with the stock recovery. I haven't had any problems since I did so.

Hmm, has some one tryed to flash this ROM and after that flash latest baseband from v10c?
Since the ROM is ported and US is using a different radio hardware it might work to change baseband after flash?
Or am i totaly wrong here

[Q] My exhibit 4g is not acting up correctly

Hello guys,
This phone is giving me headaches. Once I rooted the phone is not allowing me to to flash CWM and nothing at all but continue stock. Im looking like a paranoid for the Pit file and the flash rom for me to go stock 100% but there is nothing in the forum to well organized I guess that I have missed looking for it or getting lucky to find it.
Im on 2.3.3 right now and the more I do factory reset the more the superuser stays installed. Pleas advise how to successfully flash my phone from scratch for me to install one of the custom ported roms we have in the forum.
I came from Samsung Vibrant with an experience of more then 1000 flashes. I think the bad thing about this phone is that we have to navigate over 7 different forums to get the info correctly and is very confusing.
Guys I also dont have Network Signal meaning I cant use the phone.
Thanks guys very much for any help

No forums, but there are threads. Just Google xda t759 stock and read around. I know that a stock Odin flash able package is available, but I don't remember where. Also post in their forums because although our phones are very similar I don't know the exact steps/files for your phone.
