Master ROM-fondler Haykuro has done it again, and delivered a video of the HTC Hero Android build running on a G1.  Over six minutes long, the video shows more of the new homescreen, together with a changed QWERTY on-screen keyboard and a new Twitter app.

The ROM seems to use a combination of standard Android code and HTC’s own amendments.  We saw screenshots of some of these last month, including the new PMP, browser and other TouchFLO 3D-inspired tweaks.

The Hero itself is tipped to launch midway through 2009, so we could be looking at a fairly imminent release in Europe at least.  Check out the recently-leaked video promo for the phone here.

  1. Sooooooooooo.....

    How do we get it on our G1's? lol.

    Anyway HTC is stepping up the game so it looks like. They have really customized and really put some work into widgets. Now it they would just put it on some of their nicer hardware like the TouchHD...
  2. Looks gorgeous, but seems to be running a bit sluggish. Nevertheless, I want!
