DONUT available - need to update NOW?

---

Hello devs,

I have red that Donut has been released.
HTC has released its update. I have already updated my Hero. Because there is no Java, I want to install Modaco's ROM.
My question is: can I expect a donut-release in a short time?
If so, then I will wait updating to Modaco, because of losing all data.

if you are just missing the java implementation i would recommend you this Thread or rather the way that worked for me Link

What update are you talking about from HTC? build 2.73.405.5 is still 1.5 (cupcake). I'm a little confused.

The sdk for donut has been released. Sure that the firmware is on course for its October release.

This is what confuses me. He says he already updated his Hero. The SDK is released, not the firmware..correct?

yes thats correct

He's just saying he installed the official HTC update that MoDaCo leaked a few weeks ago. Now he wants to go MoDaCo (perhaps because it's prerooted, installs apps on the sd and so on). He is just wondering whether it's a good idea, if 1.6 is released very soon.

No, 1.6 will not be released very soon (at least not as a HTC Hero Rom), so go ahead and flash with MoDaCo, if you feel you need it. Your phone won't get much faster than with the official update, but at least you'll have something to play around with.

just a quick question, i have MoDaCo rom installed on my hero and if i download the HTC official update would i lose root? and will android 1.6 can be download as a custom rom?

by the way:
what does leaked mean in this context? is it really some kind of "ripped" or how do we have to understand this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd assume someone working for HTC or testing the ROM put the files online.
