I'm pleased to present my Android 2.1 based MoDaCo Custom ROM for the GSM HTC Hero! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
 This is a sneak preview of the base that i'll be using for the full MCR release... to give you all a chance to play, tweak, test, comment etc. etc.  About MoDaCo Custom ROMs MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device. Requirements In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed. You can read more about how to install a CRI on your device in this topic. Features Included
Please see 2 posts below this one for the changes in each release. Installation To install this ROM:
 After you have completed your initial setup, I recommend rebooting to allow the cachedalvikcache script to free up space on /data.Upgrading No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here. Downloads An online kitchen is available in the post below.
It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect. And finally... If you would like to show your appreciation for the ROM, please consider supporting MoDaCo by signing up for a MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus account, both of which also give you early access to Beta ROM releases and access to the the online kitchens.

Testing now, Thanks Paul
Can't flash it over MCR 3.2, Sense and BG keep FC'ing. Doing a wipe now, see if that helps. update: Wipe solved most of my issues. Only the Music app/widget gives FC. This post has been edited by wimbo: Jun 8 2010, 18:26 |

So can I just apply this update over MCR 3.2?
Do I really need to update the radio of my device? -------------------- T-Mobile G2

You could give it a try as you can always flash back to your old radio. I have a locked Orange handset and the radio flashed fine and does work but I did find it quite unreliable for data. Downloads would stop halfway through, web pages wouldn't load completely. Calls fine though. I went back to the last radio version and it is fine with these 2.1 ROMs |

I've unlocked my Hero (originally Orange) and the data performance and general signal level with the new radio was noticeably worse, so I also went back to the JU one.

I'm on the standard 2.1 release from the kitchen, without sense and running LauncherPRO.
I get a FC on Rosie.utility and google.bgp when restarting. FC on settings when trying to change lock wallpaper. FC on trying to connect to PC. But everything works fine, I use recovery to mount the sdcard for PC, if needed. Will this rom be better without sense? Phil. |

I went back to the last radio version and it is fine with these 2.1 ROMs I flashed the new radio and got the network locked error (my phone was still locked at this point).. so i just bought a code and unlocked it.. which worked perfectly.. Flashing back the radio would have worked too im sure.. but I like shiny new things. So even if you do get stuck on the new radio for some reason.. as long as you also have something other than an orange rom on you can use a normal hero code at the worst. (if you have an orange rom on you cant buy a code as they dont work as orange have tweaked the algorithm - youd need to get it from the network themselves.)
