Android OS

We can hope that HTC is working on Sense for GB already, but who knows.

Yes. But I like HTC as a company, and no Sense means no phones.

Not too big an issue as I'm another year yet on my Hero /

This is utter crap.
The G1 and the Nexus were Google branded phones. HTC may have made them but they were sold as (and by in the Nexus's case) Google.

The "G2" (Desire Z over here) has Sense, as will the HTC W7Phones to an extent.

EDIT: on the Magic front certain models that were more powerful that others have indeed received an update to Sense, albeit on 1.5.

Ok it was branded a "Google Experience Phone" or whatever they called it.
What are you referring to with G2? The T-Mobile UK branded Hero that runs Sense or the American G2 that also runs Sense?

The G2, The HTC Desire Z. The T-Mobile US variant.

And "Google Experience" means nothing, it's purely something that manufacturers can optionally put "With Google" on their phones to make them sell better. Back when Android wasn't known, "With Google" was put on the T-Mobile G1 because Google was a better brand name than Android.

As far as I know, the only phones to ever have it were the G1 and the Droid Incredible (which actually does have Sense):

Hey, Dolphin Browser HD 3 came out today, my browser updated itself.

Since upgrading to Cronos Froyo, I used the stock browser because it displayed YouTube videos (that was it really, other Flash things don't seem to work ), but now Dolphin uses it too, so I'm using it as my main browser. The interface isn't even that bad, and they've changed some of the controls (e.g., I can now switch tabs with the volume rocker, which is very handy) and there's a new pull-down area at the top to choose a tab.

You still having issues with your ROM? Did you flash Hotfix 0 straight after the ROM flash? If so, that can cause you problems. You need to flash ROM reboot twice, flash fix 0.

I only put fix 0 on about a day after I'd put the new ROM on, after I'd installed plenty of apps

I'm not having any serious problems really, I found a newer version of Quickoffice, so that's okay. Flash is my main concern. Do you think it's worth reflashing? Would I need to reinstall everything?

I don't think Flash works on any Hero ROMs tbh.

I see!

I seem to have HTC Flash Player on my phone still, but I can't get rid of it or use it. It's just there.

I found an apk for Flash for 2.1,but that didn't install

And the HTC_IME keyboard mod kept FCing but the stock keyboard is okay

Rename it to .RAR and unzip, copy to your SD Card and install. That's the one I'm using on CF 1.1.1.

Does anyone have the power control app?



Can you tell me what each individual button is?

I know it is wifi - bluetooth - ? - ? - brightness ???
