I'd go with CM7 as a first rom. it works well, and is pretty fast.

have to agree with dragoon there, just starting out go with CM 7.0.3 or 7.1.0. easy to flash ,theme and tweek. good for a starter.
Well Ive had a rooted phone before. This is actually a down grade from what I had which was the MyTouch 4G. I used CM7 on that and loved it so I might have to give it a shot.

What can I do with this phone other then what it does out of the box?
Theres so little information and work I can find on it.
hey buddy,
there isnt alot of things that can be done with the phone right now.. which company do u have it from?
the first would be App Unlock your phone to be able to install applications .. jsut search on google "app unlock S620" and follow that procedure...
I have a wm6.0 running so i have a couple of skins and stuff installed... most of the stuff that can work on the Vox Forums can work on libra as well. besides the roms ofcourse.
if you got any other questions holla for sure... i know it was a pain for me to find any information on the phone!

surprised me too! the poor phone still doesn't have enough ram and is missing wifi, otherwise it would be perfect.
I just picked up one of these phones yesterday and am still getting used to not having a touch screen. If I'm not mistaken this phone does have the GPS. What's the process for getting it to work with Google Maps, etc?
Thanks
no this phone doesnt have gps....
it has the processor which is needed to have gps... but apparently it doesnt work with any company...
iv looked around for a fix .. but no one has found out one...
and 5800 doesnt have wifi built in either

Magics will be given to dream owners.
You should have gotten the magic since it has more ram and will be supported longer with updates.
You can always use search button or even simple google search:

Well.. I use AT&T's 3G, as I live in the US. So, I had to "import" it from Canada. I already have a jailbroken iPhone 3G S. So, I really don't want another touch screen phone with the same form factor. The G1 has the physical keyboard and seems like it could make a pretty good back-up phone. Do you think it's pointless for me to keep this G1, even if I get the latest and smoothest ROM available???

Seems like you got the phone just for the KB and not the OS. You just need to read carefully so you dont end up bricking your phone.

The HTC Dream is the only phone with Android that I can think of that has support for AT&T's 3G network AND a physical keyboard. The BACKFLIP is coming out, but ... yeah, I'll pass on the whole MOTOBLUR OS. Also, what are my chances of bricking the phone? Seeing as I've never done this before and have no clue where to start.

You can worry about that later your jumping the gun already and your phone is still stock.
First you need to root and if your successful then you can worry about using roms.

I'm not a pro, but have you tried to flash another rom? I can't use 2.1 ROMs on my phone so I use Gumbo 1.5c and its fast as hell. Do a Nand backup and flash different roms till you find one you like. Restoring is so easy you really dont have much to worry about.

try one of my fixxxedroms if you don't like sense.
When I look online, I only see guides for Hero's with earlier firmwares.
Nope... the official "ruu" changed it to where root wont work. There are a few people pretty perturbed by this on the forums.

[JOKE]perturbed is a pretty big word what does it mean[/JOKE]
yeah if you got a phone with the 1.5 don;t use the ruu update or your screwed. If you got a phone with the 2.1 update your screwed till someone figures it out. I wish the three guys that rooted the evo had sprint heroes (not to be confused with the tv show)

I know there isn't an outstanding support for the Cellular South Hero, but I'm having trouble finding ROMs, themes, and such for my phone. Maybe its because I'm new to rooting, so often times I don't know what I'm looking at and I'm scared to try anything without seeing smething like This works with Cellular South Heros, I can't find a lot for my phone. So I was wondering: is there any way we could get a subtopic in this forum for Cellular South users?
On another note, what roms and themes DO work with my Hero? Currently I'm using Danger 2.1.
Almost all of them. You might get somw sprint logos but it still works on cellsouth. Southpaw is also made for cs

I havent run across a rom that wouldnt work on Cell South so far. I'm running AOSP mod atm and I had CM6 before that, and Fresh before that.
Yea i've pretty much run every one thrown out there since like april and haven seen a bill increase or any flaws based off me being with Csouth so i'd give it a go if i were you lol Cuz with the stuff these amazing devs and themers are pushing out, you'd be missing out if you chose not to bro

are you serious?? i have run almost all of them and they all worked fine for me.
