Dream devs have a Hero 2.1 dump er,... rom!

Update!!!
Looks like Drizzy and the Dream boys unwatermarked the dump and made a G1 rom out of it. I will try to talk to Drizzy and ask if I can have the unwatermarked dump but if not we should be able to re-port this back to CDMA and possibly have Hero 2.1. Just remember this wont work as well with our phone as the official one will but a little taste of an Eclair might be good

Hey guys, didnt know if anyone saw this yet but the Dream devs have a Hero 2.1 dump. Drizzy got it and is sharing it with a couple devs but no Hero devs. Not sure why yet but Im trying to find out. I would assume it's because of watermarking and once they get that worked out then they will release it to us. Some of the Dream users don't like us because we have more ram than them (yes, thats the only reason why) but the devs over in the Dream scene are overall good guys. Drizzy, KingClick, BarakInFlorida, Crykowski and the rest are all good guys so I'm sure once they work things out we will get ahold of it. Lox_Dev (from GSM Hero) is already trying so, let's hope and pray.

Does this mean that HTC already has sense skinned on top of 2.0?? If so, does the Hero 2.1 dump you are talking about mean that we could have Sense on 2.0 before its even officially released by HTC? (And even modified and optimized on top of that?!!!) I'm really excited if any one of your answers will be "yes".
I'm new to all this stuff, but I'm really enjoying it so far! Thanks in advance for answering my questions. God bless!

Yes, pretty much. First, I just want to say that Sense is not a "skin" it is an application but more than that, it is an application framework built by HTC. That said, it looks like HTC has created a Sense for Android 2.1, which hasnt even been released yet and someone from the inside of HTC leaked it out. Now, a Hero guy (E2K) was able to get it from Drizzy apparently but we are still waiting to see if he actually got it or is bsing us.
Also, please note that usually when an HTC dump is leaked this means that it is pretty close to release. They are just sending out to testers and fixing all the bugs. This means that HTC could be giving us a Christmas present soon. Also remeber though that after HTC releases it, Sprint still needs to work their "magic" into it so it may take a little longer than normal. Also, if your phone is rooted us devs will want to make sure nobody loses root in upgrading.

OMGAD release it then ! now

thanks for clarifing
dude thank you. im so tired of everyone calling "Sense U - fu*king - I (USER INTERFACE) its a app. Just like the Adv Launcher. If you dudes could get your mind over having some cool ram additive, rather than all the ammenities of the Dream, than you would realize that you could be running 2.0 like the rest of us, rather than 1.5, and have waaaay more bad ass **** on ur phones!
Examplessss
CubeUI - Samsung Behold 2
TouchWizUI - LG EVE
SenseUI - Hero, Rooted g1's
AndroidUI - Dream, Droid, ADP1, Rogers Dream, Etc....
See its all just a different setting for a different phone .. All thus running on Android OS. Its rather simple. LOOK OUT FOR 2.1

Thanks for the answers! That's great news! I'm rooted and flashed running FRESH 0.6. I plan on NOT getting Sprints update when it comes out, but getting it from you XDA guys in some optimized/tweaked ROM without all the crap they put in to bog it down. I'm so pumped! Thanks again for the answers! God bless!

Well just because we have Sense doesnt mean we can run other roms. In fact we cant. I have tried porting over tons of different roms to Hero and they never seem to work. Sense is good too. Personally, I prefer it over Vanilla Android. Plus, the HTC apps such as messaging and whatnot are better in my opinion. Personal preference. Once optimized, Rosie flies. Sense isnt bad. I just wanted to say it's an application. Not a skin or anything.
Regardless, hopefully we will have 2.1 soon

sounds Great Im excited...God Bless

Is it really that simple though? I imagine the dump is based off the Euro(GSM) Hero.

Most likely is. But 1.6 on up has native CDMA support. Either way, Lox from the GSM dream forums says that the guy who leaked the rom to us just will not give up his source which means that if we do get this we cant release anything. Looks like we are gonna have to wait a few weeks anyway. I also was reading that Drizzy just wasnt thrilled with this build. As it is beta (or *gasp* alpha) there is too much that isnt working. Good news is we know it's coming.

http://twitter.com/Official_Drizzy/status/6156799589 "Official RUU for WWE Hero 2.1....."
Hmm.. does this mean we could possibly see a build for our CDMA Hero sooner than we thought?

Exciting news! I'll be watching this thread closely for any updates. Also, like others have said, I will be coming here for an optimized/bloatware free 2.1 from one of the awesome devs who do great work for our Heros!

Possibly, yes. One of the reasons it is so hard to port over roms to our phone is because it is CDMA. 1.5 does not have CDMA built in. For instance, try porting over any GSM rom and it wont work because HTC "hacked" in the CDMA support (i.e. built a custom driver). Since 1.6 and up have built in CDMA support the possiblity for us to make cross platform roms is a lot higher. Not saying definite. Just more possible.

Is there something "missing" from Google's 1.6 or 2.0 sources that a build of either of those prevents the CDMA Hero from running them at all? Or will they at least boot up and work with some stuff not working?

I tried installing it on my Sprint hero, well not 2.1 but the 2.0 that works on the gsm, it doesn't work.

Is there an custom android 2.1 rom for 32b magic

Hi, can anyone tell me or post a link to android 2.1 rom for 32b magic?, i have looked around and can't seem to find any....if there is any?.
All magics will be getting the official 2.1 update and its coming with sense UI.....well from what i read, how true that is i don't know lol.
Thanks

Here are eugene & Tw & MANUP456!!! ROM
http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=130&t=515

Devs have stopped posting 32b roms here as they are all compatible with the HTC Dream these days. You can find at least 3 Eclair roms in the Dream section that will work on the 32b magic.

cheers, i'll take a look.
Thanks

The Magic 32b will be getting the official OTA 2.0.1 (No sense)
2.0.1 it's not the same what 2.0.

actually the 2.0.1 update was just for the droid.
Magic 32B will get the 2.1 update in some form during summer.
Any HTC Sense device will go from 1.5 to 2.1. when that update is out.

I'd be happy with 2.1 without Sense. My experience of Sense is that it's eye candy bloat my phone doesn't need. First thing I do is go around and kill alll the huge widgets that don't tell me anything I want to know.....I can check the weather when I want to know the weather.

actually, it may be earlier. According to the myTouch fender edition press release that version (which is a 32a) will be getting the 2.1 update in spring of this year. (march-may most likely)
Even though the fender is a 32a, safe to say that the 32b version for the normal mytouch will be out at the same time. So hopefully march-may now instead of summer.

If Sense is coming to MyTouch AT ALL (officially)
32b are withgoogle phones.
so it might just get stock 2.1 android without any custom UI.
32a phones are the ones from HTC. They have more RAM to store the whole eyecandy stuff...
BUT the community will take care about it. (actually there already are 2 sense 2.1 Roms avaliable for mytouch 3g in the dream section. (called "Espresso") (!)
I had installed one yesterday.
Liked the original Hero Sense UI better. Only cool new thing is the animated browser progress bar(!)

yeah the espresso sense is ass. default sense + 2.1 will be very nice.
though with how nice 2.1 is i'm really gonna be torn between default and sense.

Id be happy with 2.1 on my magic..... Now! lol by summer i will have a better android by that time i hope..... nexus one? or maybe bravo??? or even the xpiria x10 if sony pull their finger out and sort out the laggyness.
As i started this thread feel free to share any info on new sense UI roms or eclair roms with or without sense or pretty much anything you would like to share :-D

Turn off sense for the. EVO

Should be noted that this is not turning off Sense; it is just using an alternative home app (assuming this is the same link I saw on Android Forums).

The only way to "turn off" Sense is to actually disable it by rooting your phone. Either removing Rose.apk and all the other Sense files. This will still contain the HTC framework which will make it slower than AOSP but at least it will be faster and look more like AOSP. Before we start talking about roms and everything lets get the phone first and root it. Then we can start deving and cooking. I'm a cooker and sort of a dev from the Hero forums so when June 4th rolls around the rooting begins!

I am 200% positive that this phone will be rooted within a week. The hero took like, what, 2? 3? I can't remember, and that was a pretty low-key launch. People are switching over to Sprint just to get the Evo, it'll be huge. There's a way bigger userbase now. So we can start worrying about roms and junk already.

The first thing that popped into my head when I first read that was could that mean it could get OTA's like 2.2 but one post above said its still the HTC framework so I guess no froyo, and therefore no flash for an indefinite amount of time. I don't want the evo (i would if I had Sprint I suppose) but it kinda sucks to think that the phone will ship with old software, of course the phone will still kickass and most people won't care. But I haven't read a ton about the phone maybe a projected release for froyo on this phone has already been established?

I have a Sprint Hero atm, and I can understand why people would want an official 2.2 release for the Evo from Sprint. But honestly, I've been on 2.1 for over a month on a 1.5 device that is still waiting on its 2.1 upgrade. Once root happens, I'm sure 2.2 ROMs won't be far away.
Others have stated that the CDMA Hero has a VERY strong dev group, but the Hero was a sleeper release (aka. not much interest). Take the hottest phone out there compared to ALL carrier lineups, and you can bet it will have the best devs on it.
I am betting on a 1-2 week root, followed by 2.2 shortly after that. Hell, i'm not even getting the hotspot addon since I'll just get it for free with root!

I don't think the Incredible has been rooted yet has it? The EVO has very similar hardware, so I'm not too sure on it being rooted "within a week."

Ditto on this. I'm not bothering with the legit hotspot as the cost is ridiculous. I don't really like stock Android so I dunno if I am gonna get a 2.2 rom unless I find a way to put sense on it

I don't even use stock or sense. I use SlideScreen Pro. No widgets, just 1 screen with all my RSS feeds, calender info, twitter feed, and facebook feed.

If I had to guess I am gonna say it will be rooted before the official launch, lots of EVO's out there already and the system dumps are out there, and thats all you really need to root it.

Just activated my EVO (thanks to Google I/O)--let's see what we can do.

It's already been rooted. Check Engadget or Gizmodo.

Yeah but the rooters haven't released their method. Besides it's just a system root. We still need to unlock the bootloader and make a way to flash a custom recovery image. otherwise it's almost useless.

When turning off sense or using the other launcher. Does the evo use eclair icons or htc's? I prefer the eclair icons personally.

Probably.
But not yet. Trust that Cyanogen and his army of coders will crack the secrets and port the ROM.
But not yet.
On a related note, hooray for the 6.1 Stable release!
That is all.

Think they're about the same. The MTTest3 is good but I prefer CM6.1 for all the extra goodies that come it it. CMParts etc.

Okey, I will try CM6.1.

I don't think android 2.3 will run fast as 2.2:
2.2 is a port of official froyo from mytouch3G, so it's very optimized.
I hope in android 2.3 on G1, I would try to develop something to port 2.3 but I don't know how can I do.. I think by the official sdk but.. mmh
(I'm a programmer but I never developed roms for phones)

Cyanogen said on Twitter that he currently has no plan to port 2.3, as the OS will most likely be GPU-driven.
Honestly, his 6.1.0 release is pretty great.

possible cpu with dual core
excellent gpu
5mpx camera with flash and 720p 60fps recording (also 1080p 30fps would be perfect ) with good optic and NO HTC PINK HALO
google experience or sense
I ask too much?
Do you think I'll keep G1 for the rest of my life?

It can probably be adapted from the AOSP source, but since it has some new gui thingy w/e that is, it will never be the same on our devices, whats the point in downgrading from something that works quite well atm, 2.2.1

Cyanogen's cm6 isn't one of those roms which have the myTouch base of T-mobile. It's pretty much coded from the Nexus Rom and ASOP.

Point of updating to 2.3
Well, for me there's one big reason why I'd like to upgrade to 2.3 - Native SIP.
What I don't understand is why Native SIP hasn't been built-in from 1.0! Now there's a flood of poor and mediocre SIP apps on the market, none of which are very good.
I sure hope 2.3 comes to the G1!

Having just switched from MT3G-test3 to Cyanogen 6.1, I would have to say they're pretty comparable. If you put my feet to the fire, I'd say MT3g-test3 is slightly faster, especially in regards to installing apps from the market. But the goodies available in Cyanogen are so good that...
Aargh, it's hard to decide. I have a nandroid+ext of both, so I can swap back and forth at will. I might spend a few days with each to see which one I enjoy using more, and report back. One thing making it harder... I have a white G1, which historically has had problems with Cyanogen. But the latest seems to be working a lot better than previous releases.

ICS for the thunderbolt?

With all the discussion about IcS next week I think it will be interesting to ask here.Will Verizon ever give us it officially and what dev will give us the first functional port?
Sent from my Cyanogen Thunderbolt.

Will HTC/VZW give it to us? Absolutely not. We barely got Gingerbread..technically speaking we haven't even received an official GB yet as the OTA was pulled back. However, I am very excited for CyanogenMod as the Thunderbolt will most likely receive ICS this way. I've been on Sense since the beginning but will def be moving over to Cyanogen once ICS is released.

i'm willing to bet that TeamBamf will have a mod of ICS as well.

Yea thats what I was thinking. Verizon will leave us out in the wind and BAMF or some Cyanogen build will be the first. How long are you guys thinking? My eris had Froyo within a few hours of the source being released. I'm hoping with some of our wonderful devs we can see timing like that again that was awesome.

Rarely, if ever, does an Android phone get more than one version upgrade from the manufacturer.

Bye bye thunderbolt I will be getting the prime....lol we had official gb for two days

Okay couple things... Hell no VZW HTC don't care about bolt anymore... Like someone said, we haven't even gotten our hands on official gingerbread... They broke yet another ota.
Devs will get ICS, seems like some parts of ICS would need a "dual-core" but i don't really think that that is anything more than a stigma

Agreed wired, but maybe we will get lucky like we did on the og incredible. Froyo upgrade and gingerbread. Could happen! (although not likely)

I know that teh Haxxor said that he should have ICS built into his ROM by the end of the year. With how much this update is adding I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

Android phones are suppose to get updates for 18 months from release. I should hope we get the update although god knows they will take their sweet time.

Yes, maybe patch/bug updates for 18 months. Nothing says they have to do full version upgrades.

The new liquid smooth rom has ics on it. You just have to switch to it from the liquid settings.

That's just a launcher that mimics ICS made by syndicate apps on liquids thunderbread rom.

Rarely, if ever, does an Android phone get more than one version upgrade from the manufacturer.

The OG Droid came with 2.0 and they got 2.1 and 2.2.

well first HTC has to make a custom version of it.. then verizon has to load it up with all the bloat.. so it would most likely take a long time if it ever does happen

Root and CM8 should do the trick.
