[HTC Hero] update na Android 2.1?

[beetleman]

HTC je vec prije objavio da planira objaviti update OS-a za svoj glavni Android smartphone- HTC Hero. Kako su najavili, HTC je trebao samo modificirati svoje korisnicko sucelje "Sense" i ubaciti ga u Googleov Android kod.


Kolege sa Android Community su nam poslale sliku, "sneak preview" HTC Heroa sa Firmware verzijom 2.1 za koju se vjeruje da je novi Android 2.1 software.

Ono sto govore iz Android Communitya su velika poboljsanja u korisnickom sucelju te sama brzina Sense sustava. Ono sto nam je za sad poznato je da je samo Sprint (Mobilni operater) izdao manji update za svoje brandirane Hero modele, jos nam je cekati dali ce prvo HTC objaviti update ili mozda neki od nasih operatera (sto cisto sumnjamo).

Za sad postoji Eclair developers verzija koju rade XDA developeri te su trenutno u beta 1 verziji. Nazalost ova poznata beta ne donosi Bluetooth audio te kamera je pomalo bugovita.

Fini info (glasine?)...

Uz dodatak kako će Hero preskočiti najavljeni update na 2.0 i predstaviti update na 2.1. Koji će po riječima biti moguć (predpostavka) na svim Qualcomm 528 MHz baziranim procesorima, ako bude uspiješno funkcionirao na Hero-u?

[beetleman]

Nisu glasine, sluzbeni info, prvo prolazi kod Sprinta.. pa cemo vidjet

[HCSC]

Baš pročitah na netu kako se očekuje službeni update Android verzije 2.1 kroz koji tjedan, malo prije Božića.

[beetleman]

Da,to sam i ja danas na mail dobio, nadam se testu sto prije.

[HCSC]

Iskreno i mene zanama ta najnovija Android verzija jer ova 1.5 baš i nije... Nadam se sređenijem (poboljšanom) OS-u, a prije svega vjerujem da će meni upgrade-om i trajanje baterije biti poboljšano.

Kako neki izvori navode update bi trebao biti sutra dostupan, 11.12.
Inače, evo changelog. Službena verzija će vjerojatno imati još izmjena

Bluetooth submited by habibas

* You may now send files to other phones but this is restricted to the type of file your media is.


Browser

* The browser hasn't been updated alot, but there has been a few tweaks that make it easier to use. Firstly the navigation tab above is now attached to the top instead of overlaying the top page. This has solved the annoying google problem where you would not be able to select the navigation links under the overlay for example, On Google's homepage you couldn't select the mail/news/images link until the page fully loaded.

* Another minor UI change is featured in the loading bar, the input url box will now feature a sparkling green bar which will fill up as the page loads, this has removed the thin green loading bar below the screen in 1.5.

* One final change which will effect the HTC browser is that the Google search in landscape mode will now function correctly. That's right folks! no more bouncing keyboard.

* It seems the Flash has been improved, don't hold my word on it but it seems like it's running Flash 10? The lite version before didn't let me load Imeem's flash player but it seems like it's running like a charm now, Youtube desktop version also worked. Maybe not at it's best but it works.


Google Navigation

* Googles GPS has finally arrived onto HTC HERO. You will ofcourse need to hack the application if you're from United Kingdom (Which works with Lox 1.4) You need to install the Voice data/ Nav Launcher and ofcourse the Maps 3685 (?) build? (I opted for non-rotted apk)


Home

* The highly rumoured Landscape Rosie has been introduced, you can now rotate your Hero sideways. The clock, application short cuts will be left intact, and usable. Although phone panel on the right is not finished, the icons aren't properly positioned, but this should be fixed by HTC in a more recent build.

* You can now pinch zoom the home screen and be welcomed by an overview of the seven different states. You can tap a screen to quickly change state which may come handy if you don't want to slide through multiple states.


Icons

* New icons are presented in the Application menu:
o Google Talk
o Youtube
o Maps
o Market
o Call History
o Calculator

(HTC icons seems to be unchanged)

Loading

* While the device loads, there is now a new spinning spindle. It looks alot better even if it is a small touch but makes it very nice.


Market

* Updated to the new market, you can now see top paid, top free or all. It's more organised and the usability has improved overall. Expect to see a more friendly version of Googles Market.


Settings

* The new settings menu have been organised into more precised catergories. This change was seen on the Droid and will be in 2.1. You can navigate through the settings easier and will be able to select some new options.


Sync

* RRS Reader is inbuilt and you can read RRS feeds without installing any applications. You can also sync to Flickr and Google. HTC has also newly added sync options for Plurk, Exchange Active sync and Htc Facebook (Revised?).


Text-To-Speech

* Text-to-Speech added, Google Navigation anyone? Yepp Text-to-speech is the library that is used with Google Navigation. You can now type text and it'll speak it out. You can also change/install new languages.


Weather Animation

* Weather Animation makes a return in this new firmware. The removed feature in the revised 1.5 rom disappointed alot of users but it's now made it's return. The animation effect is basically a home screen effect inwhich when you greeted with weather animations occuring on your home screen which occurs if it's raining/snowing/lightning etc. Eye candy.


Notification Bar

* There is a new icon for SD card, this will be shown once a memory card is inserted/loading/removed.

* (Recent) The background of the Notification pull down is transparent, you can see through the overlay.


Messages

* The Messages application has now been slightly updated, the text is larger. Although the people application isn't correctly working for me, I'm unsure wither it's actually for the better or worse since the text was completely fine before. Let's hope the final smooth build will fix some of the small problems introduced in this update.


Wallpapers

* You can now select Wallpapers from your Home Gallery which includes all the original wallpapers in the default Android Gallery + the ones you add. You can also choose the Rosie wallpapers which have been left intact.

* One feature that seemed amissed was the missing option of choosing a Rosie wallpaper for your lock screen, well good news! You can now select a Rosie wallpaper with a few simple clicks.


Widgets

* There seems to be a new option to get more HTC widgets in the widget panel. This could be updates to the current widgets in the future or new skins (clock) or brand new widgets like the power control.

* There is a new power control widget that can be added to your home screen. This widget is basically a quick switch for turning on/off the following: WiFi, Bluetooth, Mobile, Sync. You can also switch different brightness levels through the last button. (Dimmest, Normal, Brightest)


Untouched submited by JBNAquatics

* Music Application

* Calender


Slightly Modified submited by JBNAquatics

* The call settings now have a "Silent" and a "Speaker" button that you can press directly like the Sprint Hero

* Gmail appearance has been slightly modified but there are no new features

* Camera and Camcorder has a slightly new appearance modification to match Donuts, but no new features

* Rings extended (app) finally works on this ROM

* You can now choose to link which accounts you want (Google, Facebook, or both)

sa ROM-om imaš problem veliki, jer zapravo nisi kupio (a i ja isto) HTC Hero nego T-mobile G2. ako odeš na službenu stranicu i probaš skinuti zadnji ROM tražit će te serijski broj i kad ga upišeš reći će ti da nemaš support za tvoj device

rješenje imaš na xda developers forumu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683

nakon što bubneš unutra pravi HTC-ov ROM dalje ide sve kao da je pravi

ROM-ovi su ovdje: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622

a uostalom, vrijedi prosurfati malo po forumu. mislim da nema boljeg izvora informacija a pogotovo softvera

[yager]

Izašli prvi screenshotovi novog Sense interfacea(slike su sa leakanog Espressovog ROM-a stavljenog na Hero)











Koliko vidim nema trake koja pokazuje koji screen se trenutno prikazuje.

[HCSC]

Evo kako bi to izgledalo i u video formatu:

vidimo kako su u Notification panel dodali prikaz "Recent" nedavno korištene app.

[HCSC]

Čitam, odnosno piše se po raznim portalima kako upgrade možemo očekivati negdije u 3. mjesecu.

Sve su pokvarili s ovim glossy ikonama

pravi Eclair 2.1 procurio!

u originalu za Eris ali dečki portaju na veliko. više informacija ovdje: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=512

već sam izludio od najava da stiže update... Prvo oko božića, pa veljača, pa ožujak, pa se pojavio nekakav raspored za travanj... Svaki mjesec se rok mijenja i koliko vidim sad je na redu lipanj! Na stranim forumima su počeli pisati da bi opet moglo doći do kašnjenja ako se netko u HTC-u sjeti da bi nas sad mogli "vozati" s update-om na Android ver.2.2.

Shrvan tim vjestima odlučio sam root-ati svog Heroja (Tele2) i mogu reći da mi je žao da to nisam prije izveo. Instalirao sam SenseHero 2.2 ROM i više me stvarno nije briga kad će se pojaviti update. Hero sa novim ROM-om je jednako brz kao i Legend. Kad frend dobije Desire-a vidjet ću koliko je to brže/bolje od onoga što imam! Iz početka mi se činilo da je priča kako HTC ne izdaje update na ver.2.1 zbog toga što nitko ne bi kupio Legend totalna glupost!. Nakon par mjeseci čekanja čini mi se da je to bitan razlog! HTC se brani da ne stigne odraditi pripreme i implementaciju update-a, ali mi je onda još manje jasno kako to stigne par programera koji su sretni ako im uplatim 10$ preko PayPal-a?

Na nekom forumu sam vidio se nešto uje#$%$lo sa OTA za Hero (piše da je broken) pa će i update ići u dvije faze: pripremna i potpuna. Sad me strah da je to omogućavanje mogućnosti "na kapaljku" - po principu: nešto malo imate, a za bolje kupite naše nove modele za samo dva - tri soma kuna. Baš po tom principu sam kupio Hero-a dok su forumi (a HTC je potvrđivao) da update na ver.2.1 stiže prije božića ili u prvom kvartalu 2010.

Mislio sam da ću otpiliti HTC zauvjek, ali nakon root-a vidim koliko je dobar mob. Ako nekog zanima radio sam po uputama sa CroDroid stranice. Autor je vrlo jednostavno I jasno opisao postupak – zato ljudi rutajte Heroja i ne čekajte updejt koji (možda) nikad doći neeeeeećeeeeeeeee...!!!

[yager]

Instalirao sam SenseHero 2.2 ROM

Jesi ti siguran da je 2.2. Nisam nigdje našao taj, 2.1 samo.
Inače, na xda-dev imaš romova na izbor.

[Ewa]

Evo URL-a... http://hero-roms.blogspot.com/2010/0...eedstable.html

[c-shadow]

Ewa jel ti radi GPS?
Vidim po forumima okolo da se ekipa zali da im GPS ne radi na tom 2.2 ROM-u.

[Dac]

hehe, mislim da je developer bio malo entuzijastičan pa je ROM nazvao 2.2 ali to je ipak 2.1

iz jednostavnog razloga - nijedan drugi developer još nije dobio pravi Froyo 2.2 . a pošto je to takva zajednica kakva je, oni dijele što imaju i čim jedan ima nešto novo svi imaju, kako su "curile" verzije za Eris, Legend, CDMA Hero itd svi su ih imali i dorađivali...

eto odmah mu jedan minus od mene. fali mu 3dgallery. vrhunski preglednik slika sa telefona i Picasa accounta

[Ewa]

Koliko vidim i "moj" GPS je u komi...

3D galeriju se može skinuti sa weba - treba potražiti Gallery3D.apk. Ja sam ga instalirao i radi k'o urica.

[Inovator]

Nitko nije ni rekao da je to 2.2, lijepo gore piše

Android Version: 2.1

[master]

Stavio sam ovi SenseHero 2.2 i odličan je, sve radi super osim GSM
Malo sam istraživao i stavio slijedeći radio fix i sve je proradilo

Inace koristim custom ROM baziran na 2.1, i u njemu je trenutno Gallery3D namjerno izbacen, kaze developer da trenutno s njim ima "vise problema nego koristi". Osobno nisam primijetio nikakvih vecih problema prije kad sam ga koristio, pa sam extractao Gallery3D.apk iz starije verzije njegovog ROM-a (prije nego ga je izbacio) i instalirao manualno, sve radi OK osim sto me svako malo pita da mu dopustim pristup mom Google accountu jer da bi se sinkronizirao sa Picasom.
