Hero custom ROM

After my Hero root-ed, I have the capability to change the current or original ROM with any custom ROM for Hero.

My first try of custom ROM is using Villain beta 4, it is amazing that a 2.1 ROM actually running on my Hero, which is prevously 1.5 ROM.

Since there are sometimes some application refused to run on 1.5 ROM, e.g: google buzz, new google map, etc.

along with this new joy, comes a new frustation. my Hero are becoming slow each day, especially when it the first time connect to internet. and sometimes the HTC Sense is need to be force close.

Luckily, Android has this system that prevent one collapse application to halt the phone. although i experiencing already 4 times hang :(

first time

my first time touching that Android gadget, i feel i didn't make a foolish decision. I want that phone to be mine. this HTC Hero is really something, although it has funny design on the bottom, but it's ok.

firstly, I test the droid phone to make a call, :D yes, although i think it's funny, but alas, it is a phone, a mobile phone should be able to make a phone call. :)

then i test the bluetooth, wi-fi -- to bad no wi-di signal arround when i tested it.

too bad, i didn't test the wireless connection :D,

in the end, i tell the person who want to sell it, "do you want it in cash, or bank transfer?"

so that night, i didn't do any drastic action. I just plug in my SIM card to it, setting it, and the wireless connection is fine, despite of my carrier is kind of slow that night.

then i sync my contacts and calendar from my google account, and everything ok.
