seriously .... relax people.... his rom is just to get it on our Hero's to have a look and play with, they is NOT ment to be a functional ROM

We will have proper released when the Source is released, thats what all the Dev's are waiting for.

No point in pulling your hair out on this bodged basic SDK based ROM when the Source will be released.

i dont get it... whats the benefits of this ROM then ? I have HTC Hero, and am more than happy with the rom I have, Floyo 1.1.9, Android 2.2.1 - What is the advantage of 2.3 ? is it worth the effort ?

Thanks in anticipation..

If you need to ask "is it worth the effort?" then, you're right, you don't get it. A flashaholic doesn't ask, a flashaholic just flashes.
When one has a ROM he is "more than happy with" then it definitely time to find something new to flash, anything will do as long as it gives a few problems to frustrate you with long enough for the next release:D.

I just gave it a go and it's not too bad apart from the fact there's no data/wifi etc.
I didn't do a wipe so all my apps came up fine and Launcher Pro was working too.
It's pretty laggy as you can imagine but not as bad as I thought it would be and you do get those cool little animations when you get to the top of a list (the yellow/orange glow) but the screen off animation doesn't seem to be working.

There is a new downloads application which is pretty good to see your latest downloads but for now i'm back to CM6.1.

    HI all,

    just do a quick port.you can run android 2.3 GINGERBREAD on your Hero now.
    but with many many not working hardware.

    you can use this as a demo to exprence the UI improvement on android 2.3

    the screenshot is in Chinese but the ROM is full language.

    not working:
    wifi
    data/radio
    almost all...what a pitty...
    but i will do my best to make it work.

    hope your guys like it.

    I am too lazy to sign the zip file. please sign it before you flash it.in other way you can use ClockWorkMod recovery to flash this pacakge .ClockworkMod Recovery will not verify the signature.

    To be honest, as nice as it is to see gingerbread running as a proof of concept, I am not sure anyone will bother completing the port.

    Don't take this as an attack on the devs, who have done a miraculous job of keeping the Hero relevant in a world of 3.7"+ screens and 1GHz processors. The Hero is just getting too long in the tooth now, and the hardware was very quickly outdated. Most of the people who bought one when it came out will be nearing the end of their contracts (mine is up next March) and I can't see it surviving as long as the G1 did simply because the hardware didn't rely on locked down proprietary drivers like the Hero does.

    It was quickly ignored by HTC and superseded by devices of the Nexus spec, and I can't see it being able to cope much longer. It would be a really nice swan song for it to get 2.3 though, nice way to draw a line under it development. I hope someone proves me wrong and there are still talented devs with Hero's as daily devices, but as far as I can tell most of them (if not all) have moved on to bigger and better devices, and who can blame them?

    EDIT: I will look at using the framework-res to create a theme for our hero's so we can at least pretend we have Gingerbread ;)
