My HTC-Hero

Have I change my Hero firmware last month? Yes.. I did.. and it was last 20th February I updated my firmware to Kagudroid 1.2.2.

Hmmm.. less then a month but I have to change to the new firmware.. why? well there have some issue with Kagudroid 1.2.2. such as battery drain soo fast.. can’t operate the camera on 5MP, can’t use Bluetooth headset to make a call, can’t sync facebook profile photo with contacts and many more.  Moreover I prefer HTC UI rather then Donut version.

Anyway what’s about BeHero 1.2.4?
Sorry I can’t give any comment yet at this point (still in the middle of exploring) but what I could say at this point is… I just love it. I love more than the previous firmware I’ve upgrade my Hero. Below is the Changelog for this BeHero 1.2.4 (details taken from this site… click here). You can download the main file from that link.

CHANGELOG:
v1.2.4
- Made a init.d script to give pptp vpn correct permissions

v1.2.1
- Root fixed
- Facebook and QuickOffice moved to /data/app to free up space in system
- AmazonMP3 removed

v1.2
- HTC Bootsanimation from HTC Legend
- init.d scripts added like apps2sd and low mem killer
- added some apps to /data/app like jbed and navstarter
- Busybox

Well this is not original Firmware from HTC Hero. It’s a Beta version produce by LOX calledKaguDroid 1.2.2.

So far I found this firmware is stable compare with others out there but I hope HTC will come with the original 2.1 Firmware soon.

OK.. Before you do anything make sure do a Nandroid Backup
Step 1: This is the file you need to download before do the flash thingy:
1.  KaguDroid 1.2.2
2.  Gapps-hero-ERE36B-signed.zip
Step 2: Wipe
Step 3: Flash the ROM with Kagudroid_1.2.2.zip
Step 4: Flash the google application (Gapps-hero-ERE36B-signed.zip)
Step 5: Reboot
