Yep. I personally use Amon Ra's Recovery Image as pointed by ElmI. Use Flashrec to flash the recovery image and turn off your Hero. Reboot your Hero by holding Power and Home button.

At the Android System Recovery, scroll and click Nandroid backup. The resultant backup files/images will be available in your sdcard. Transfer them to your computer for safe keeping :-)

About Market, use Market Enabler to access paid apps. I myself don't use credit card, so I can't comment much on purchasing paid apps. However, I bought a full license of a trial app, EasyMoney via PayPal :-)

Yes you can put the Ori rom, but your recovery image and SPL will still be the modified version.

ic..which mean as soon as we rooted the ROM, warranty will be void

wat does SPL stand for?

Not sure about the Hero, but you can always put back you original SPL.

em..seem like veery complicated. i read the xda forum...not really understand...very confused with recovery image, MoDaCo, Cyanogen etc..so many...

Been using MoDaCo custom ROM v2.3 for few days, what i can say is that its not as smooth as our stock firmware. Feel quit sluggish n slow when opening apps. Google map also not included.

Right now using previous MoDaCo v2.2 enhanced. Man, its fast n smooth...i like it

TQ ElmI and Levi! now I can smile!

Hi, I new comer to join this big Hero family. Just bought my Hero last Sunday at LYP cost me Rm2299. Just now i flashed my Hero to this ROM update-hero-generic-2.73.751.4-signed with Chinese support and of cause android market . (Ps. Wanna said thanks to Levi share how to flash hero )

I got some question :
1:) Do u guy feel sluggish after flash to this ROM update-hero-generic-2.73.751.4-signed? I felt Malaysia ori ROM is much smoother then this ROM update-hero-generic-2.73.751.4-signed.

2:) And i can't save new contact....Don't know what happen?? Do anyone experience this?

Im using IM+

Hi there, welcome to the Hero's lair

Personally i haven't try the 2.73.751 ROM yet but have tried Modaco Custom v2.3 (which i suspect using generic-2.73.751.4 coz it have the new people widget same as the generic-2.73.751.4), it also feel sluggish and slow when compare to Malaysia's ROM. Right now im using Modaco Custom v2.2 and it's smooth and fast.

I think for now, the best choice for Hero ROMs are 2.73.405.5 and Modaco Custom v2.2 as both are smooth, fast and also come with android market

P/s: MCR 2.4 with new underpinnings coming soon. (Dunno what is underpinnings tho )

Can anyone show their HTC Hero's screenshots? I wanna see how great and nice the android os could be

why android os always lag? Always depend on new rom. WHy iphone do not lag?

yeah android is relatively new os mah.. i'm eagerly waiting for the finetuned version to be as smooth as the iphone. went to try hero at lowyat yesterday, and the chin doesn't bother me as much as before hehe
most of you buy the white teflon coated or the brown hero?

why don u just google it?? there r plenty over the web with video some more..

sluggish is 1 thing.....is critical part is can't add new contact. Anyway i had flashed to another new ROM (modaco-custom-rom v2.3 with chinese core) which much faster and so far didn't sense any bug yet. I read ur previous post said modaco custom rom v2.2 is fast. I try to search but can't get it. I wonder modaco v2.2 ROM and 2.73.405.5 ROM are they support chinese??

Guys, how to make install apps on sd card.?
Thanks

OMG this ROM modaco v2.3. Also got this critical bug.
ElmI, when u use this ROM modaco v2.3 do u encounter this bug? "when i add a new contact let say name "A". then after that i try to find this "A" contact is actually not in my contact list. But when "A" call me, is actually show "A" name and photo. when i go to call history i can even view "A" contact information. but just cant search in my contact list".

PS: i have a very bad english grammer here. anywhere hope u all can help and understand my problem. cheers......
