OEMs don't provide all the tools that are available on the developer phones (unlocked boot loader) or there are proprietary drivers that aren't released by the OEM. Some outside projects try to work around those issues. You might try: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ for the HTC Hero. Or you could try working through the OEM and whatever developer channels they have or asking them why they don't make it possible to build from the source. http://developer.htc.com/ -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
