All you early adopters of the Euro HTC Hero, the one with the chin, now have something to smile about. A representative of Irish mobile operator Meteor has tipped of the guys at EURODROID that they received a notice from HTC that they should expect and update to Android 2.1 sometime in March.

a) Very, very, very old news that Hero was getting a 2.1 update.
b) Old (and bad) news that we may have to wait until March!
Regards,
Dave
It is bad to wait till march.. but it is good news that we get a update
hope that the file transfer by bluetooth is possible then...
uhoh... not sure if i can wait that long. the only problem is that i have the super-duper kernel that needs the goldcard downgrade method and it seems too overwhelming for the moment. damn.
guess i'll get my 2.1 in two months time!
Well, it just gets pushed forward one month at the time. Wonder if it will ever arrive
when it arrives, it better be worth the wait!

Its actually not that difficult. Download the required apps and you can just breeze through the how-to in about 20 mins.
if you read the article well, it says we're gonna get 2.0, not 2.1

if you keep reading he updates it and adds that it will actually be 2.1
little question here
These guys are unbelievable, they said that the update will be available in february, now it'll be in march last days, in march the would say that its delayed to june, and so on.
so i have a question, with the hero kernel sources and the android sources, why there isnt a full working aosp ROM out there? without sense and all that stuff that makes the device laggy. There is any kind of difficulty at this point?
cheers
No one actually really said it was going to be Feb it was just a rumour. This source seems stronger however until HTC officially say something we will never know.
I am with the spoken provider and I wouldn't necessary believe in everything what they say. They are very bad with handling customer queries, this was given as an answer to few particular problems with Hero on Meteor network.
They were saying that it will be getting 2.0 but after some user said that there won't be any 2.0 update for Hero they came up with 2.1 in March. Go and figure it out yourself.
loooooooolll oh god...
february...
or 15 february .. or 3q 2010 or march
or 2.1 update or 2.0 update ...
rumours.. just rumours...
hero isnt getting no new update from htc... stick to 1.5 or root it and install the customs 2.1 ...
dont dream people
In July , hero will be 1 year-old device.
maybe , htc is just releasing rumors , and then they won´t update and release the hero sucessor ( i hope it´s fake , i love my hero )
sorry my bad english .
PS : This is what i think .

That's absurd! The leaked 2.0 build with SenseUI proves that they are working on it.
Regards,
Dave
They need updated HTC drivers to make everything work properly. until HTC release their 2.1 rom, or something is leaked, we can't have a fully working 2.1 rom.
I can say with 100% certainty that the 2.1 ROM will released when it's released, if it's released In other words, I'm not going to hold my breath.

forget 2.1 oficial update for our hero's ... they are working on it with sense and whatever.. but is for the new upcomming devices... like new hero substitute...
this is all marketing...
hero will stick with 1.5
and they will launche 2.1 in newer devices ...
just to force you to buy a new device..
wait and see

I hope thats not true...i have been eagerly looking forward to a perfectly working 2.1 on my HERO
Called HTC today. Gentleman said that google has not released 2.2 to HTC yet for development so it definitely won't be released on 23rd (today). He said when they have it, there will be a schedule released on the front page of htc.com/www/
already got it. apparently

why say "delay"?
HTC didn't officially say that it will be released today, 23 June.
Just my 2 cents.

what to say, htc support!

http://www.google.com/support/forum...488da0ef21660d1300048994d2e4bf4c&hl=en&hltp=1
Everyone can start complaining once the source is released, but until then, god quit blaming HTC. and yes I know HTC probably already has the source, and has probably already updated Senseui for it, but until Google finalizes it, HTC won't release an update.

who's got what??
I don't want to use words like other people about lack of google's informations about any release date, unprofessionnal support, htc support etc... I'm sure they would better hire some of you guys to help them! You are the one which are giving us what we need, not google nor htc. I'm sorry, but feeling like moving to another OS, being iOS or WM7... too disappointed, sorry.
The only people you should be disappointed in are the rumourmongerers who got you thinking that some official source had promised to get you FroYo on 23 June.

You're right jstegeman... Even by myself trusting and hoping these. But I had hope in Google as well and not having any fix release date look to me unprofessionnal... the term "shortly" used by them can mean days, weeks, months... Is it so difficult to say the release date will be the xx of xx year xx and keep that date?
Sorry but this might come from my Swiss habits, having the clock's at the right time, no improvisation, organization... I hate "not knowing" and am quite impatient lol

I dont know if this is true, but seems more reliable than words of a customer, lets hope for the best
zdnet is reliably.
and it ever was.
they will lost the good reputation, they worked for if this isnt true
and i dont think, they wanna risk it
This happens again and again and people believe this. Guys, first of all this is a stupid excuse from customer support.
Do you really think that Google lets HTC wait for release like the rest of us? They have been working on 2.2 from early stages too, they must if they want to release timely 2.2 devices.
Secondly, they would never ever release a froyo build before google.

Sorry Swissman,
but a new release of a OS is NOT a FIX as you defined it.
There have been fixes available on the air, and - afaik - no other os-manufacturer does release on-the-air fixes like Google does.
Moreover, you bought a mobile phone with a working os, and - always afaik - you cannot blame Google in being supposedly in delay for a new release of an OS.
What should you think then about Microsoft for Windows 7 or Apple for OS 4????? Not to talk about Meego or else.....
Please have a cup of tea and try and have a different opiniono about "unprofessionality"....

He meant a FIXED date not a fix for the OS
hey seanomccool, you just got a scoop (not)!
People with some common sense knows it since a few weeks: froyo isn't officially released yet on it's primary platform, so no way it could be released today on the desire! In fact, google just told that there's no ETA yet for froyo.
dont panic m8s,it will happend soon

seriously that concerned ? get a life !!
Update 2 - The source has now been released on Github !! Here it is -
https://github.com/MiCode/H1S_kernel
Enjoy and Happy New Year
Update 1 - Donovan Sung, kernel development head of Xiaomi has himself confirmed on MIUI forum that he's going to release the sources on 31st December 2014.. So guys rejoice, bugless Lollipop isn't far away !!
Guys.. Today I have got good news for you all... A friend of mine emailed Xiaomi Kernel Development head asking when they are going to release the source code for the public !! This was the reply he got from him ( See attached image )
that is a good news! its better late than never. but I guess for a device like this, pushing kernel source while releasing the product is very very imp. It limits its true power. due to this restriction cm12 development is getting seriously delayed.
and the weird thing is, my old device huawei y300 is getting cm12 nightly as early as 1st week of dec. The build is ready and almost everything is working. only some minor bugs, which will be polished. and here devs are working hard to get the primary source ready. its a real pity!
It is really a very good news.It may also happens that our redmi will enter into the android one device list that earlier told by hugo bara.:highfive:
Can you post more details? Maybe show the full email sent by your friend?
That's the complete mail. 1st one for Hugo Barra. And 2nd one was the forwarded mail.

i spammed a lot in miui forum about this...finally found it win
Dreaming to get a Custom kernel
Early Q1 could be two months from now (at least), I wouldn't call it a win, it's really really late. Also, this is a private email not an official announcement, I'm sorry but I don't really trust them. They could be answering that in the email so they don't get more requests to release kernel sources in a while. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with Xiaomi, each day they remind me a little bit more to Huawei...

Bro.. Its better late than never !! And they will surely release it.. Same was the case with Mi2, they released the kernel source of this device after 9-10 months of release but they did release it !! Redmi 1S was released in May, so you can expect the kernel source to released by February !!
Coming from a mi3 user...ppl in our forum are really pissed with unavailability of the sources till date...we have received many such egs from mr Barra(he'll release in a week or so)but nothing has happened....hope it's for real this time
Wow bro

Hi,
That answer was written by me. Until now that's all what we know but hopefully it can be released much sooner. Unfortunately, nothing is certain yet.
We'll inform the community as soon as we can promise at least an approximate release date.

I have not seen many UMI brand phones which have released source codes, but I was wondering if you have any plans of releasing the kernel sources and/or full sources for this device.
I am looking to buy this phone, but I would like to be able to compile my own kernel and ROM for the devices I own
dont be waiting for nougat.i have a z3+ with nougat and in android N everything is worse than mm
The new Ulefone Gemini Pro was presented last week on MWC 2017.

This phone also has a X27 SoC, but it is already running Android 7.0.
So Mediatek released Nougat-drivers for X27 a few weeks ago to Ulefone.

Well its quite possible some dev could work some magic , bet the main boards are not too different from a reference board by mediatek , umi spec has well known components for screen and camera so possible to hack a port from same soc or even just tweak a few drivers and swap kernal ...we need a dev

Not from UMI, there are phones with mtek socs running nougat , there seems to be phones with other components the same running nougat. So the ingredients are out, problem is cooking this into a working ROM would be a big job.
I recall when mm came out my HTC had a hacked together version that worked quite well, but the source for loli was out so there was a starting point.
Linage os would clearly be the place to start , find a mtek soc based ROM an hack I guess, beyond me , but someone who understands could prob work something
