After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
There is one called 'Tasker' that got mentioned here http://androidforums.com/here a few weeks ago. It's a LOT more complicated than Locale, and still in Beta, but would be a suitable alternative to Locale. I think a new version is coming out soon too

New to the forum. Just got my first Android device (htc hero). Love this post. Very helpful. Tried most of these apps already going to the Unlockr.com. My question: Any way to follow one individuals post (such as this fella). Thanks.
Seems to be free again now...

Backgrounds is an amazing app for free!! Tons of categories and pictures in each one, sure to please anyone.
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!
Still showing as costing $9-99 here....
Well, that's odd then. Could it be cos I'm in a no paid apps region, could/would they really keep it free here while charging those that they can?

SEA = South East Asia? Strange... which part of SEA you at?
Noob question incoming: Anyway to shift / move icons around on the home page?
I'm new to smartphones, recently got my Hero and just wanted to say a big thank you for putting the guides on here. Helped me get up and running big time; I can't imagine how long it would have taken to trawl through the Marketplace uninitiated. And as for the set up tips, I suspect I might never have known...
Thanks again
Thanks again

I just bought an HTC HERO today.....it will be here wed. , I knew this was a unique phone but after reading this thread I can see that it appears to be on the cutting edge of techology. Are we officially christening the 4th dimension ? My ten dirty henchmen look forward to spending the next few weeks exploring this new portal to the virtual world while my brain attempts to decipher the tech talk. Hey how long till we see a porn app? POONHUNTER or something cool like that ? Get busy you code warriors. The first ones free.
..Now if only there was an app that made this thing dispense RedBull.

Excellent post, loads of useful advice and apps.
Can I just add the following:
When setting your message notification do so from:
Messages > Menu > Settings > Select Sound
And if you like wakening to a favourite tune you'll need to add the following folder
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
while you have the Hero mounted on your PC
Your ringtone should now show up when selecting Alarm Sound.

Can I add mp3 to listen to this way instead of having to download them?

UPDATE!
If you dont have already, its a must get - ASTRO FILE MANAGER! and why u may ask....
you can now back up all your apps to the sd card!! No rooting. No Partioning, just a simple copy and paste!
Once installed press menu - tools - backup - select apps - press backup. voila!
(once phone is reset, you will have to install the apps again from the sd card)
Also if you do have this app installed, instead of buying hide and seek, like i did, you can edit the file name so that it doesnt show up in your albums, keeping any sensitive material
, safe from prying eyes 
. just add hide to the end of the file name. simples

The latest Firmware version is 1.5. The thing to look out for is the build number should be 2.73.405.something. You can see your build by going to Settings>About phone. Typically new phones are up to date so you may well not need to update. I can only guess that you are trying a non Hero ROM hence the message. If you really want to upgrade then you can root your phone but you'd need further advice on that (some posts on this forum somewhere on it).
Not sure about the Market thing - you definitely looking in the right place? Press the lower left soft key on the home screen (the circles) and it should be alphabetical under Market.

Thank you for this great thread. I am a new owner to the Sprint HTC Hero and you have been a great advisor.
