Google was very kind enough to roll out OTA (Over The Air) update of Android OS 2.2 aka Froyo – FRF50 ROM to its very own Nexus One. Now, zenulator a member of XDA Developer was kind enough to share modified Android OS 2.2 (FRF50 ROM) which he has successfully able to port it to CDMA HTC Hero. With that said, zenulator also mentioned that its a dirty port from Nexus One – What that means is, you will not be able to access full features.

Lets see what works and what need to work. (The reason he released this version is to get feed back from you all so that he can fix it.)

What works:

• Data
• Calls (can’t speak to the other person)
• New Launcher2
• 2.2 Google Apps (haven’t tested them all)
• Keypad/Trackball leds

Not working:

• Audio/Mic
• GPS
• Wifi
• Bluetooth
• Maps force closes
• Flash Player 10.1 from the market will crash the browser.

So, if you have a CDMA HTC Hero and have not been using it and/or would like to give this ROM a try here is the link to download the ROM and give the developer feedback.
