Download: CDMA Hero Android 2.1 – v2 [BETA]

Geek For Me is proud to release:

Android 2.1 – v2 (beta) for your CDMA HTC Hero!

Why another build? And why back to 2.1?

We were ecstatic last night when the Eris 2.1 release got leaked. We had hoped it would help us get camera and mms working (it hasn’t) however it did give us a MUCH smoother build and cleaner base to build off of. “Out of the box” almost nothing was working. Luckily toast was quick to be able to adapt the current fixes we had in the other rom to this one. I then took it and cleaned it up a bit. We’re happy to release this because while it still isn’t a daily rom for most users, I think you’ll amazed at how smooth this build runs.

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 the leaked HTC Eris 2.1 rom for Verizon.

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.

This rom is based on Lox and Behnaam’s GSM 2.0.1.

Poll: Would you do a survey/quiz to support fresh?

Hey all. So as you may know, I have publicly spoken out against devs charging (aka requiring a donation) to gain access to downloads. I have graciously accepted donations from anyone willing, but I would never force anyone to pay. You may also know that I used to have an adsense account that Google canceled because too many people were clicking the links. I take that as a sign that people are willing to help support fresh rom/kitchen, even if they can’t afford to donate. :)   So with that, I have been looking at other ways for people to support my projects without necessarily having to pay, and I think I came up with one. However I wanted to get everyones input before I put it in to action.

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!
