Anyone on CyanogenMod 5.0.8? It's awesome on the N1. Wonder how does it fare on a Hero. I saw you replying to the thread on xda ,LEVI. Did you try it out?

does CM6 for Hero include that salmon tint thing?

This SurfaceFlinger hack here:-
http://jsharkey.org/blog/2010/07/01/androi...fun-and-profit/

It is built into CM6 from what I heard. Great battery saver.

Damnit...I'm so dumb sometimes.

I'll definitely flash to CM6 once it's final. The RC1 right now is not that stable. CM5.0.08 is Eclair but uses Froyo radio.

woohoo! LEVI delivurs! Thanks, man.

rooting a 2.1 Hero? Now this is something I have to see.

I dont think SanDisk has a class 10 (or 8 for that matter) MicroSD. Try getting a class 6 or at least a class 4. A class 2 is only good for goldcard.

Wow! some many questions. I'm sure bonanno will enjoy replying to them.

I asked myself the same question a couple of months back when Desire was first launched. I was very close on getting it and then Shahz made a couple of interesting points about the N1. I ended up getting an N1 after realizing that SenseUI sucks ass and I dont really need it. I'm still keeping my Hero though, I just cant sell it off. It's my first Android and I'm somewhat attached to it.

If you wanna upgrade to Desire, then go for it. It's a good phone. Or if you have the patience, you can wait awhile until Desire HD comes out. That would drive the Desire price down and you can probably get a cheap 2nd hand Desire without the burden of the Maxis contract.

I'd still prefer N1 though. The Vanilla Android, the rarity and the Gingerbread.

What do you mean by the bolded part?
have you been brainwashed by kentang_peranchis?
Please provide proof that N1 has no warranty anymore and Google has stop support for it.

You mean like getting back to stock ROM? no. Factory reset doesnt revert the firmware. Since you're using a custom ROM, you might as well boot into recovery and do a full wipe.
