For actual SCREENSHOTS see page 9 General/Hero Q&A I present to you a FAQ for newcomers or the generally uninformed to find quick answers. General Q: What is a ROM? A: A ROM is a complete system image of the Android operating system. For much more detailed info, read here . Q: How do I install a ROM? A: ROMs can be flashed once you have rooted your phone and flashed a custom recovery image. After that, you can apply a rom zip via the recovery menu. Detailed info here . Q: Where can I find more info about ROMs? A: In the two links above. Q: What is Apps2SD and how do I use it? A: Apps2SD is a script that will do exactly as it implies so you are no longer limited to your phone's internal storage. First you must be running a custom ROM that supports it and secondly you need to format your SD card as FAT+ext2. Once that requirement is met, the rest will be automatic. Alternative you could install a2sd on stock rom manually if you wanted to for whatever reason. Warning: Formatting your SD card will erase ALL of the data on it. If you want to keep it, make a backup. Q: All the Market downloads are stalling. How can I fix this? A: Sign into Gtalk. The two are closely related even though you'd never guess. For an in-depth discussion head over to this thread . HTC Hero Specific Q: How do I root my Sprint CDMA Hero? A: You've got a few options concerning this. There's the auto-root , flashrec method , and asroot2 method. Q: How can I remove pre-installed apps? A: Head on over to How remove apps thread for detailed instructions. Q: How can I get rid of ringtones and notifications I've downloading from showing up in the Music app? A: Create a folder in the root of your SD card called "media" and a folder called "audio" inside that one. Inside the "audio" folder, create a "notifications", "ringtones", or "alarms" depending on your needs and place the files in the desired folder. Example: media>audio>ringtones>custom-ringtone.mp3 (Courtesy: XDA)
