Root [ROM] : HTC Hero Cronos Ginger 2.2.4 (Android 2.3.3)

Every time I do a wipe do I still need to reinstall the new radio along with the updated ROM all the time or once I've installed it the one time is that it?

I flashed 1.9.5 without Whipping. The only thing I lost was the EVO3 kernel. Radio version remains the same.

Once you flash a radio, it's not going to be lost unless you overwrite it with a new radio. It's not affected by factory resets.

Home button and slownes are caused from Launcher..... you can try to install a new launcher like Zeam or HeLauncher, they are more stable and fast than Launcher Pro. In the setting of the launcher there's the option for Home button, set it as you like ;)
 
couple of questions.. where is the market application in this rom?

And also when I try to add accounts, I can only add an exchange account. Usually you get prompted to associate the phone with a google account but i don't see that either so I can't sync my contacts.

Any ideas? Cheers.
 
You need to boot to recovery and flash one of the google apps packages from the download page, which contains all the google apps.

That's why you have no gmail/market support at the moment.

So that is the good news. But I will not be releasing roms so fast after each other anymore. Development will continue but releases will have a stable time line so that I can release even better builds once in a while.

It has apps2sd+ yes, but why would you want to use ext4? As I understand it, ext3 and 4 don't bring any benefits for use on a phone, only compatability issues.
 
Thanks for your advise. coz i'm using NAND Andriod for HD2 with App2sd+. Most of HD2 Andriod with App2sd+ are using ext3/ext4 partition. but for hero rom only recommand ext2 partition. what is different of them?? i know ext3/ext4 with indexing for large size harddisk of course not benefits for 512MB disk space...if i want partition 1gb space for App2sd+, ext3/ext4 really not benefits on App2sd+ function??

Whether you're using 512MB or 1GB for your ext partition, that's still a very small size compared to the hard drives ext3/4 were designed for. So no, as far as I'm aware there are no benefits to upgrading to either of those for use with apps2sd.

However, if you still want to use Ext3/4, then go for ext3. Whenever I hear about compatability issues, it seems to be Ext4 that is giving people problems.
