i have HTC hero phone with operating system 1.5
i want to upgrade it to version 2.1 can any one guide me the complete procedure ?
any help would be appriciated.
CyanogenMod is the only way to go. I modded mine and it works great. There is an unofficial mod specific to the Hero here
The official Android 2.1 rom is out now. Make sure your phone is clean by downloading the original rom from the HTC website. Then, you will receive the new rom automatically.

I have a quick question. I have built an app in Corona SDK (Version 2012.878). My app works fine on my Galaxy S. But it fails to install on HTC Wildfire S.
Is it because of CPU? Are there some other reasons? Is there a way to know, on which devices app will fail to install?
Thank you
The HTC Wildfire has an ARMv6 processor. You need a device with ARMv7 or later for Corona apps to install. There is a very old version of Corona SDK that supports ARMv6, but it's not supported anymore and I don't think it's that easy to get your hands on either.
I am new developer of Android's tablet, if I buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1-inch with Android 3.1 installed, can I downgrade it back to version 2.3.3 Gingerbread??
Since I want to test my apps running on v2.3.3
Any possible problems for doing this?
This may be possible, if you can find a ROM built for the 10.1 Tab which is running 2.3.3
I would advise you check out XDA-Developers and see what ROMs that have available. You will need to wipe your device though, so backup any data you may have on it. Also, you will need to Root your device, which will be explain on the XDA forums.
I've just started learning android and I've completed the hello world sample program which running on my galaxy tab emulator successfully.
Now i have the following concerns as below
can this hello world program run on galaxy y handset?
From where I can get the emulator for galaxy y model from samsung?
I am using sdk platform 2.2 , can this code run on Android OS v2.3.5 (Gingerbread - real handset)?
1) Yes
2) I'm not sure if such thing exists
3) Yes
You should try running the program on your handset; you can't learn unless you do. just FYI, I had to install Samsung Kies to get the drivers that let Eclipse see a Galaxy tab. I'm not sure if you have to do the same for the handset, but if that's the case, now you know what to do.
If you are beginning to learn Android you are better off learning with the default emulator that comes with the SDK. Setting up handset manufacturer specific emulators is not the hassle to address right now. Just use the default SDK, you will be fine.
Hello world programs, in almost all cases in Android will work with any emulator or SDK (from Android 1.6 onwards). So you should be okay.
Also, if it doesnt run due to some reason, learning how to recognize it and address it is a useful skill too, so dont think its not important.
If you're new to Android start your app projects with
Minimum required SDK-android 2.2 froyo
Target SDK- 4.2 jelly bean
Compile with android 4.2.
After creating the project go to your workspace APP project folder/bin/.apk file, copy and paste the .apk file and run it on your Samsung Galaxy y. It works, even I to have a Galaxy y mobile and tried it, it works.
Thank You. :)

There isn't an official way to do this per a Google IO fireside chat
Unofficially, the device can be updated through CyanogenMod, as per Gopi. Again, this isn't an official update and bugs may be present.
I have HTC T-Mobile device having Android OS 1.6, Eclair platform. I doubt if Flash Adobe Air can run on that. Because that is the only supported on 2.1 and 2.2. Please confirm.
Also can i upgrade my device's OS to Froyo by downloading the OS from android.source.com?
I have downloaded SDK 2.1 and 2.2 on my machine. Can i develop and run flash games on the AVD/emulator?
Please comment and reply precisely to the aforementioned questions. Thank you
The implementation of Flash from Adobe won't work on anything prior to 2.2. That is more to do with Adobe targeting that version rather than flash being something that Android 1.5/1.6 intrinsically cannot do.
There have been flash players on Android before, I understand that HTC used to bundle flash capability with the HTC Hero.
You can certainly download 2.2 from source and build it for your device but you must have two things prior to doing that:
root access to your device
proprietary drivers for your device that will work with that android build
If you have a G1, then you are in luck because the cyanogen mod can be installed on a G1 plus they will be porting 2.2 to it (along with the Nexus One and a few others)
