Froyo on Hero!

my husband just got the Froyo update on his Evo (non-rooted) & he gets wireless tethering!?!?? =P

i'm also waiting on the kinks before flashing froyo! i want live wallpapers! =) it's mainly the camera i want working for sure. my phone is more handy than my digital camera when my baby's making his milestones

all things aside, the camera doesnt work 100%. so don't flash it.
if ur rooted just download wireless tether app.
it's even included in most roms found on this forum.
 
so how many zip files am I looking at if I want to try this out?

I flashed zenherofx yesterday, but I still like Fresh 2.3.3 better, figured I'd give this a shot
 
I just put Darchdroid v2.7 on my phone today and am liking it so far. The v2.7 thread has all you will need to get what you need and you can do the install by flashing just 2-3 .zips. It wasn't hard at all.

On the other hand, Fresh 2.3.3 was a breeze to install and didn't need any other tweaks to get working correctly. Darchdroid v2.7 needs a couple easy tweaks to get running pretty well.

One thing I've noticed so far that I'm not liking is that there seems to be a delay or unresponsiveness when scrolling between the 5 home screens. I haven't scoured the XDA forums for an answer to that yet, so there could very well be a fix already.
 
that scrolling lag you speak of is from Adw launcher that is set as default, ditch that for Launcherpro and you're set.
 
Ok, so I went back to work, and don't have any time to myself anymore... I was wondering (because I am too lazy/ don't have time to search) about updates for this rom... I hoped that there were some to fix the bugs.. I am having issues with weatherbug elite FC'ing, and my market won't update paid apps consistently...

As always, TIA!

There was a FC issue with weather bug that should have been fixed, I know that the last 2 (not including today's) releases combined with the latest WB works just fine. As of today the camera is working and there is supposed to be an RC1 coming out very soon. There is a market fix for the paid apps, I had to do little trick to get mine working but all my apps show up now and the phone runs amazing.
 
Lol well they release a new build of this rom seemingly every day, I use the xda app to read up on it and several other roms throughout the day and I'm done trying to keep up. I'll just wait till it's declared final release or whatever and then try it out.

I'm with you. I'm still running 2.3.3 because every Froyo thread I read is beyond confusing and would take a day to sort out.
 
it's a lot easier to keep up if you hang out on the IRC chat.. but yeah.. new stuff keeps getting tweaked daily.. I play with it when I'm not on call for work, then go back to Fresh 2.3.3 when I'm on call just to make sure I don't miss a cal.
 
Ok, so I know there's bound to be posts on this SOMEWHERE on the site, but I've just got to do it...

I'm a complete newb when it comes to flashing/rooting/etc. The first time I tried it, I completely bricked my 1.5 hero. I'm really interested in Froyo, but I'm not sure I even want to attempt it.

I downloaded the 2.1 OTW update from Sprint. Am I completely boned?

read this http://androidforums.com/all-things...2-1-rooted-do-not-install-6-4-ota-update.html it tells you how to root even if you did the update.
 
Just flashed 8-10-10 nightlies, everything running smooth:)Didn't know if I should enable jit or not? This is the reason I rooted, lol!! TB works awesome with the donate version, I was up and running 10 min. Wow this is pretty cool:) Can anyone let me know about Jit? BTW camera works perfect
 
I will say, I was nervous about bricking my Hero... but the root and FreshHero 2.3.3 are sweet! My phone runs SO much better now! Now...if I can just find a solution to the 100% wake time problem... Thanks guys!

The camera is supposed to work and so is the market. I just flashed it yesterday and so far the camera works flawless in the stock application.

i still had the camera hang once or twice but it's much better than previous builds. barcode scanner app also works now because autofocus is activated. sadly google goggles does not work (won't launch).

Anyone get HTC Sync to work with this ROM? I just do not want to sync my contact info up to the "cloud."

Maybe I should rephrase this, how are people syncing their contacts from a local machine if you do not have exchange?

Is everyone syncing their contact info through google?
