2.3.3/3.0 - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just saw on a developer page for android that there is a 2.3.3 and a 3.0. Does anyone know anything about this? Where have I been?

Aosp and cm have 2.3.2 versions out. 3.0 is basically for tablets. Google just had something out about 2.4 , still named gingerbread, but I haven't heard anything about it being developed or the source being out

Question about hero roms.

Hey guys, i just was wondering.... Its great that as a community we are coming out with these 2.x roms and they are mostly complete, but i enjoy the sense UI roms. unfortunetly the new sense roms are not very stable so i have been using sense hero 1.4, and i know its 1.5 but is it possible to get gmaps with navi working on this or any other stable hero rom? thanks.

Rooted now what?

I have the HTC Hero from Alltel.
I've just managed to root it and have installed things like setcpu, wifi tether, etc.
Now I'm wondering about roms. Are there any roms that work with the alltel hero? Where can I find more information about this? I'm a newb to android atm...

[Q] Rooting Questions

I am looking at rooting my phone. I have a few questions but I'm not sure where to post at because I'm new on this site. I read through some root instructions, but the creators were not specific on some areas.
Does it matter what carrier I have if I root my HTC Hero as long as it is CDMA? I have Alltel. The instructions I read for this were not specific as to carriers, they just said CDMA HTC Hero.
My other question is when you root your HTC Hero, is flashing a new ROM to the phone part of the rooting process or something different. The instructions I read also did not clarify this.
Thanks
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
I don't know whether the carrier matters or not when rooting. You don't have to flash a ROM when rooting, but I would venture to say the the vast majority of folks are rooting to add a custom ROM. Especially with the Hero, due to it's limitations.
Edit: I found this post here. So I would research that a bit as far as carriers.
If you want to stay stock but remove bloatware, you can just root and remove with an app like root explorer. I would think about at least an overclocked kernel.

i know there are people on here who rooted from Alltel, the only thing is the majority of people have sprint.. so most of the custom stuff will come with sprints banner on it.. there are ways to change them and none of it is too hard at all to do.. its not a bad idea to try out some custom roms even if they are just custom versions of the stock rom..
i would check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674788 it gives a break down of everything you will need to know both with the site itself as well as rooting your hero in general.. a good thing to keep in mind before posting a lot of questions is google is your friend, a search of the forum will bring up most answers to anything.. a lot of people around here get really ticked if you post questions that have already been answered, or if you post it in the wrong section.. but check out the link, any other questions feel free to ask..
I found this blog on rooting. It doesn't say anything about carrier. Does anyone know? It just says CDMA, which is what my phone is.

you can root being alltel, rooting in general is not carrier specific.. if you flash certain roms it may change your provider banner to sprint because it is the most common, but even that can be changed back and it doesnt affect your radio or prl.. if its a CDMA hero the CDMA root process should work..
read the post that posted above yours, and check out the link.. literally tons of information about rooting..
check my hero rooting guide, it is NOT carrier specific and will work on Alltell. fast and simple way to root.

[Q] stuck

hi just a quick question. im kinda new to this stuff just trying to figure it all out, i installed the Gratia rom to my cdma hero and rebooted but it wont load past the htc load screen. am i missing sonthing
A good start would be aosps cm7 rom. Start by reading the read me in the original post and it's real simple. Not at all knowledgeable about the rom you mentioned.
"Dwight! You ignorant slut!"
800% HTC SuperHero Gingerbread 2.3.3
Link to the rom thread? My guess is that it's not for the cdma Hero.

Here are a few things that could be causing your problem:
1. The rom is not for an HTC Hero.
2. The rom is extremely outdates.
3. You have a bad download/outdated recovery.
4. You bricked the device.
Provide more information on the ROM you are using.

[Q] Sense Roms for Alltel Hero?

Please Help
Since the HTC Hero was introduced to Sprint first it usually is based on Sprint.
But can someone please help. I'm trying to find a Sense Rom for the Hero with Alltel service so please help cuz my GF is gettin on my nerves saying that partial root made her phone run sluggish and ide like to overclock it so she'll be quiet. So if you posted a link that would be grand​
many thanks
it shouldnt matter the rom should work on any carrier as long as it was for the hero.

Everyone's phones run differently on different roms, but try out a couple of the recent Gingerbread roms if you can do without "sense", you'll gain a lot of functionality from the phone. Deck's rom, CM7, & Jaybob's have always run good for me on the Hero and there's a couple of others (Evervolv & OMFGB) that I never had a chance to try before I gave the Hero to my son.
***EDIT*** If sense is that important to you, Liquid Sense & NFX seem to be the most popular.
Just like Bierce22 said... you should be able to Flash Any CDMA Rom for the Hero!
If only there was a Ginger-Sense Rom like they have in the Eris forums :/
