HTC Hero (Sprint)

Rooted HTC Hero (Sprint) ROM: Fresh 2.0d Firmware: 2.1-update2 (freshhh) Kernel: 2.6.29-d30020a8 I removed the HTC default lockscreen using the instructions found here. I am using apps2sd which allows me to store apps from the Market on my sdcard instead of taking up internal memory.  I partitioned my SD card using “recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img” after rooting. I am using ConnectBot to connect via ssh using 1024-bit encryption and connected locally.  I replaced the shell with bash and have it loaded into the app2sd partition to save space.  I can also edit the bash_profile which is located on the FAT32 portion of the sdcard. I have WiFi Tether and a frontend for WiFi connections called WiFinder.  Both are brilliant apps worth mentioning. And a screenshot of Duck Hunt from NESoid.  This allows you to play NES games on your phone. Also… all screenshots were taken with ShootMe with the exception of the Duck Hunt one because NESoid has it’s own built-in screenshot grabber. Easy AdSense by Unreal

My first computer vs. my EVO 4G phone

I found myself getting frustrated with my phone the other day.  But then I started to think about all of the problems I used to have with computers back in the day.  These are just some of the ones that I came up with and I’ll add more as I think of them.  Please feel free to comment about your own experiences with technology over the years…

When I bought my first computer (mine, not my family’s)  it had an Intel MMX 200mhz processor.

My new EVO phone has a 1ghz processor, which is 5 times faster.


When I first got on the Internet, it took an hour to download ONE mp3.

Now I can stream them to my phone… from my house.  Or stream podcasts.


When I first got on the Internet it could take 5 minutes to download a picture on dial-up.

Now I can stream HD videos on YouTube  to my phone.


One of the first FPS games I bought was Doom.  I had to bare-boot my machine with a custom AUTOEXEC.BAT in order to play.

Now I can play on my phone.
