Hello devs,
I have red that Donut has been released.
HTC has released its update. I have already updated my Hero. Because there is no Java, I want to install Modaco's ROM.
My question is: can I expect a donut-release in a short time?
If so, then I will wait updating to Modaco, because of losing all data.
if you are just missing the java implementation i would recommend you this Thread or rather the way that worked for me Link
What update are you talking about from HTC? build 2.73.405.5 is still 1.5 (cupcake). I'm a little confused.
The sdk for donut has been released. Sure that the firmware is on course for its October release.

This is what confuses me. He says he already updated his Hero. The SDK is released, not the firmware..correct?

yes thats correct
He's just saying he installed the official HTC update that MoDaCo leaked a few weeks ago. Now he wants to go MoDaCo (perhaps because it's prerooted, installs apps on the sd and so on). He is just wondering whether it's a good idea, if 1.6 is released very soon.
No, 1.6 will not be released very soon (at least not as a HTC Hero Rom), so go ahead and flash with MoDaCo, if you feel you need it. Your phone won't get much faster than with the official update, but at least you'll have something to play around with.
just a quick question, i have MoDaCo rom installed on my hero and if i download the HTC official update would i lose root? and will android 1.6 can be download as a custom rom?
by the way:
what does leaked mean in this context? is it really some kind of "ripped" or how do we have to understand this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd assume someone working for HTC or testing the ROM put the files online.

That would be the definition of leaked, yes, which is probably how we got this ROM pre official release.

Sorry if this sounds very noobish, but how do you install apps to the SD card? I installed a couple of apps after moving to Modaco's Rom, but I do not know how to install them to the SD card instead of the phone's memory. Are they by default installed on the SD card with Modaco's Rom?
Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Dont really want to help you hijack this thread away from the intended purpose, but if you were specifically asking about modaco's rom, next time it might be wise to read or "SEARCH" his thread keywords so that you can find your answer. Indeed there are a few answers in that thread that help you to find out if your apps are installing to SD.
But to answer your question, if your card is partitioned (Fat32,swap,ext3) then your apps will be installed to your sd card by default from Modaco's rom.
Thank you and my apology if I've drifted from the thread subject. Next time, do not answer me if I'm drifting and I'll know where to look somewhere else.
Thanks for your info.
cyanogen has already released the new version, but unfortunately this is not for hero

There's no update yet! It's just the SDK that's been released.
I was just wondering if someone could explain to me why its not possible for the devs to get video recording working on the Froyo ROMS.
I understand its something to do with the Radio, so is it impossible for this issue to be resolved until HTC issue an updated Radio when they get round to issuing the 2.2 Official update?
If someone could explain this I would be most grateful.
Tnx a mil,
Inq
Yes, it is related to the radio and until an updated radio is available it won't work
the devs can get video recorder working, you just need to use a 2.2 rom that has it working (as of a week or so ago).
I've tried the GPS on several of these ROMS, including the Stock 2.2 Leaks and have been unable to use GPS. The functionality of the 2.2 is great, but if I can't use Navigation and general GPS, it's bogus to me. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've Googled it several times and searched here, only to turn up brief mentions. From what I've gathered, it only affects a handful of folks, and I'm one of them.
I've been using the leaked OTA from 7/21 I believe, and have attempted to use CM and Incredible Does with no success.
Current kernel is 2.6.32.15-g936f65f
Check which Baseband you are using (Settings>About>Software). You are probably running 1.00.03.xx.xx
In order for the GPS services to work correctly with 2.2 you need to update to the 2.x radio. Instructions towards the bottom of the OP: forum.xda-developers [dot] com/showthread.php?t=737400
Sorry for the poorly formatted link. I'm still not authorized to post links.
Try the 8-1 leak. That will upgrade your radio.
Here is the link
Also try this One of Hydra's Kernels
Thanks. I will try these. I thought maybe I had done this before but doesn't hurt to try again.
Does anyone have a link to download this radio version from? The Official Stock Radio thread only has 5.x links
thanks
Why do you want an old radio? 720p won't run on it and it'll likely crash your phone if you're on a FroYo-based ROM
If your rooted and planning on staying that way then there is absolutely no reason what-so-ever to downgrade your radio back to one that old, newer radio's only bring newer and better things to your phone.
I'm about to use RCMix HD and hopefully stick with it, I have no idea which radio to get though and I can't post in the thread itself yet, hopefully someone can give me an idea of what radio to get, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thankyou.
Hello,
I was under the impression that the RCmix 6.0.0.1 would come with the latest radio and matched RIL from the latest release that it is based off. I am new to ROMing so dont take my word for it though.
Please post back your results.
I've been using;
Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_test
RIL_12.35d.60.140f_26.08.03.07_M
its been the best that ive used so far (used it with RCMix HD v6 and with Android Revolution HD 5.1).

I think the RIL is included, i didnt think the radio was....then again i'm new to this whole thing as well!
I don't even know what an RIL is, haha, do I need one?
RIL stands for Radio Interface Layer. As i understand it the software that allows the rom to talk to the radio. I have also read that people have had successful results without updating the RIL. I havnt updated mine and it works fine.
The RIL is apparently only needed for sense ROMS (RCMix, CoreDroid, ARHD etc.). Non-sense roms (such as CM7) dont require a RIL.
As far as I know, a radio will still work without the matching RIL, but it just works better with the correct RIL
