Android 2.1 on HTC Hero

device2Some screen shots have surfaced showing Android 2.1 running on an HTC Hero, with Sense UI and all. It looks like the Sense UI is remaining relatively unchanged, with just a few minor tweaks required for the 2.0+ features and changes. This is great news for those who thought the Gen 1 Android phones would all be stuck without a 2.0 update. Of course, this could be manipulated via a custom ROM, but I’m feeling lucky today and think this is the real deal.

UPDATE: These are screen shots from a custom ROM build from Drizzy, a well known developer over at XDA Forums.  Drizzy claims this is a ROM dump with test keys, so it’s not the official build yet, but word is, it’s close.  Check out Drizzy on twitter for more.

    Why do the screenshots have such blurrings on?

    I’m not sure, trying to figure that out now. Drizzy’s twitter page stated he made some without the blurring. But, I wasn’t able to find them. I will update this post as more information is available.
