About a month ago I got an HTC Hero on Orange. It is awesome, though it could be a bit laggy at times, I got round this by restarting the phone each morning, which ain't ideal.
Then about 2 weeks or so ago a leaked ROM was released that fixed the speed issues with the phone, and added a couple of other features. To install it would mean rooting my phone, so I decided to wait for the official release from HTC.
Which was yesterday. I went to download it, and upon putting my serial number in it told me it wasn't available for my device. Turns out I'd have to wait until orange add their own shit to the ROM and they release it. So I thought fuck it, rooted my phone and installed the leaked ROM. Instructions here:
