its a very long explaination dude..Read about "Linux kernels" and you will understand..Teknologist is the person who made the modded kernel with compcache and ramzswap..

Thanks for the keyword search! okay so basicly what i'm getting from the 3.0 update is.
1) AN EXTREMELY increase wifi signal. (before I stayed in my room no wifi, now got)
2) usually when i use the lock2.0 there will be a tiny delay of screen transision, no more.
3) much more smoother htc sense ui.

yeah..wanna try something even better? Try this..

Load your phone messages..Click "new" message (whether u use the built in message or handcent sms is up to you. I use handcent)..
Then, click the test area..Check out how the keyboard loads..
Wait....
Now flip it sideways...Surprise...No lags!!

They did a FAWSOME job on 3.0! If there are no issues, I will upload this on a couple of days

Ngee, I feel all warm inside.

I do not regret getting hero. the only handphone i'm changing next to is the next snapdragon android htc phone

SHOCKER NUMBER #4
I can now get access to my neighbourS wifi using the 3.0 update.



(psst, I live in a condo got 3 hotspots now just like my pc.)

Owh yes, shahz how did you manage to notice that hidden feature?! Let me guess changelog?

Hehe..its dare to try thingy I love HTC SenseUI..And the HTC widgets are just awesome..I dont think I need snapdragon already when Hero runs at this speed..I will only buy next when something really important is available on another phone which Hero does not have..So far Hero has everything..hehe..I hardly change phone as phones can't satisfy me easily..The last time I was excited with a phone was when I got the N95..Even today, N95 is a great phone..Ever since then, Hero is the only one who captured my attention..Or maybe I'm just Google's b****

btw SpeedForge 3D no longer lags at all on hero.

No one will ever regret having a Hero now Teknologist really did a great job. The ramzswap memory is increased to 92MB. It shows significant difference. He's a guru when it comes to Linux ^__^

is there a youtube somewhere showing the difference of stock hero vs modded hero regarding speed?

I've not seen one..but if someone gets a new hero and reads this soon enough, he may make one i guess

Sounds really good reading about the 3.0 update!
I'm in the process of upgrading it now, can't wait til it's done!

This guide is just awesome shahz!

Two weeks ago I was a complete newbie, now I've got a rooted HTC Hero with an 8GB Class6 MicroSD card partitioned to FAT32 and ext4, running custom ROM and a teknologist kernel with ramzswap and compcache, currently in the process of being flashed to an updated radio and custom firmware AND the most important thing....I now know what all that MEANS!!!

Hey Ashman, my main purpose to provide this guide was indeed to give birth to more people like you I'm no Android guru or whatsoever. I was once a newbie like everyone who landed on this thread too. Its something totally new in our country and I feel good being among us as the first few to get our hands on this new awesome creation by Google.

Just remember friends, we learn things the hard way and we definitely pass a point which one day someone else will be there too. Now that you guys know much about it, spread the love to more people. And always remember this day you once learnt something new Cheers to Android.

how to setup "Internet tethering" Internet tethering Over USB ???

can we connect to internet using bluetooth on our destop or laptop ??? and how to setup it ???

Menu Button_Settings_Wireless controls_Mobile Network Sharing

As of now...not yet.

Wireless tethering is still not that efficient up to 2.9. However, on 3.0 it finally is starting to get some hits

What should the normal available memory be (RAM)?

Mine shows as 33MB in Advanced Task Manager - I'm running a few widgets, but not many and no other apps.

Sometimes my phone still lags a bit too.

Any ideas?

Are you on MoDaCo 3.0 or 2.9? If you are running 2.9, the 3.0 will be significantly speed up for you..i'm testing it now to make sure everything works perfectly and no bugs..So far the wireless tether has finally lifted up too!

It is normal to have that amount of memory..That's the game of Teknologist's kernel. It uses compcache RAM compression techniques to build blocks of compressed memory..If you want to read about it, this is a great post to do so:
http://android.teknologism.org/compcache/

My home screen is full of widgets..Including downloaded widgets and bandwidth using widgets..My total phone storage memory is 66MB and my RAM is 51M.

I suggest you use TasKiller to kill all the proceesses you dont need. Kill ALL that you dont need. Like for me example, I use GMail, and dont use the Mail. It launches automatically, so I kill it. Clear all of unused ones, and you will get enough RAM

I use the Mail application with around 5 email accounts, which I guess could be taking up a large amount of memory.

3.0. I tried killing the Browser and Wireless tethering and I get around 57M now.

I tried removing the Messages/Mail widgets and now it's on 60MB.

In terms of storage memory there's 58MB available, and a lot more on my SD card

Try on another laptop/desktop first. It might be that your laptop/dekstop are "messy". Happened to me once.
