Download: CDMA Hero Android 2.0.1 – v1.9.3 Eclair [BETA]
Geek For Me is proud to release:
Android 2.0.1 – v1.9.3 (beta) for your CDMA HTC Hero!
Why 2.0.1 when it used to be called 2.1? When this build started it was based off of a leaked rom that was thought to be 2.1… before flan/nexus one were official. Now that it’s real and newer roms have come out we know that it is 2.0.1, not 2.1. So it’s the same build that you guys have had from us, just with the proper name now.
Keep in mind that this is still a beta/development rom. It is not meant as a daily rom and does have bugs.
Major thanks to toastcfh (donate to him) because without him this rom wouldn’t be where it is.
Honorable mention to: madcoder (aka maejrep), and quietcblongs for their continued help
This rom is based on Lox and Behnaam’s GSM 2.0.1.
Follow Me on Twitter for Updates
I am a long time user of twitter on a personal level, but I don’t tweet about android stuff on there. Ever since I started this site I have debated on creating a twitter account. Up til now I had decided not to because I had too many other things to keep up with already however due to multiple requests I have decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
I will not be using that account for support requests so you still need to bring your questions here, however I will update with smaller updates that aren’t blog-worthy.
I put an updated pic of the kitchen up there, just for the twitter fans. Check it out now!
News: Sprint HTC Hero Kernel Released and Compiled [Updated]
HTC has finally released the source for our kernel! We still don’t know if this includes 100% of everything because they aren’t required to release closed source code. There is currently speculation that the power saving module they used is closed source which means the phone won’t sleep properly while the screen is off (that brings back bad memories).
I just wanted to post and say that I have successfully compiled it (thanks to toast for the pep talk
) and I am currently running a beta of fresh rom that is using the new kernel. While it is 100% stock and no changes have been made to it, this test will help show what we can do with it! Keep an eye out for exciting things.

News: Updates on new releases [rom and kitchen]
Hey all. I know that most users of fresh rom are used to a release a week at minimum. In it’s early stages I was releasing every other day! At this point I would consider Fresh 1.1 a mature product. Aside from a few visual things that people would change (which can easily be done using the kitchen) there are no outstanding or existing bugs. I actually don’t even have any outstanding requests. For that very reason I have been spending a lot more time on the kitchen. Also because the kitchen itself is a product that will last even after 2.1 comes out for our phones which will eventually happen!
With the help up gu1dry I have been giving the UI a major facelift. I wasn’t going to do this because it’s no where near complete, but I decided to include a screen shot of what I’ve got going on. Redoing the UI is a much bigger job than it sounds like. I won’t be releasing another version of the kitchen until it is fully functional as an actual kitchen. I hope to have this done within 1 week. I’ll keep you all updated if that changes though!

Download: Fresh Pre-Kitchen 0.2 | Bug found in auto-rooter
The Fresh Pre-Kitchen 0.2 by flipz is hot and ready for you to download!
(copy/paste from the 0.1 release because I think some people still may be new to the term kitchen)
But what is a (pre-)kitchen you ask? A kitchen is a program that allows you to take a base of a rom and basically build it how you want it so that you get a nice custom rom suited to you. Well this application isn’t quite there yet which is why I am calling it a pre-kitchen, making it version 0.1, and labeling it a beta. This is a work in progress… a proof of concept. It is taking all of the individual things that make a kitchen and building them one piece at a time, until finally we have a full working visual kitchen for Android!
