Android 2.3 Gingerbread comes to the HTC Hero

The long awaited Android 2.3 Gingerbread ROM for the HTC Hero has finally arrived. The update got the name aospCMod, by XDA Developer aosp, is built from the CyanogenMod 7 nightlies.Recall the HTC Hero was the first to receive the ever popular HTC Sense interface.

The update mainly comes to improve the camera/camcorder functionality of the handset. The HTC Hero development has slowed down in the past six month’s period, however luckily for us a few developers still go on with the handset.

The android-wifi-tether still works quite good, as well as the animation works, however you should probably change the screen density to 140 from 160.
