Jo Shields kindly wrote up a<br> how-to guide detailing how to manually upgrade the ROM on the UK HTC<br> Hero to Android 2.1. I followed this and am using the VanillaDroid ROM<br> which works very nicely. I'm now able to use some of the applications<br> (such as Google Goggles) that previously were unavailable to me in<br> 1.5.<br> <br> <a href="http://forums.hexus.net/mobile-phones-accessories/186335-htc-hero-custom-rom-guide.html#post1927569" target="_blank">http://forums.hexus.net/mobile-phones-accessories/186335-htc-hero-custom-rom-guide.html#post1927569</a><br> <br> Cheers,<br> Al.<br> <font color="#888888"><br> --<br> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a><br> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a><br> </font></blockquote></div><br></div>
