How to Install Sense 3.5 on The HTC Hero Android 2.3.5

Some Android devices have been already upgraded to Sense 3.5 while others are planned to go Sense 3.5 in near future. We have already reported you about HTC Sense 3.5 port on Desire HD, Desire S and Desire Inspire devices. Today we have got some good news for HTC Hero users as they can now install or port Sense 3.5 on their devices . It was all started when an XDA developer named flashinglights found some internal detail of Sense software of upcoming device called HTC Pico which is going to be launched soon with pre-installed Sense 3.5 also known as Sense Zero for this particular device.

Due to having similar specs such as QVGA resolution and ARMv6 processor, a port for the CDMA Hero was successfully achieved (rather found in a Chinese forum). So, along with a few other devs at the Hero section, they decided to rebuild this rom from scratch and have released it for the masses.

Although this news has brought dead old devices such as HTC Hero to alive but off course this port is still at initial stage and has some issues which will be resolved at later stage.
