Ice Cream Sandwich hops onto the HTC Hero, thanks to XDA

By on November 21, 2011 at 9:36am in Mobile News


The Hero has not been forgotten! XDA developers have come through and resurrected this once popular HTC handset by giving it some Android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich love. Albeit, not everything is working yet in this alpha version, but progress is happening. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth are working, calling is somewhat scattered and users are reporting that 3G connectivity is operational. You can find the download link and the current 9-page thread over at XDA here.

(Thanks Lucas!)

  1. Hmm… maybe I’ll put it in my old Legend when it’s out, though currently I wish they’d port it to the Sensation faster :D

  2. Nice. The HTC Hero was my first Android phone, very well made and designed. I kinda miss it.

  3. Slatedroid is using this rom to port to the Pandigital Novel. Nothing works yet, but it boots.

    I suspect lots of devices will piggy back this rom to get an ICS ROM.
