Step aside, JAC Hero, there’s a new firmware in town. Fatal1ty (that Fatal1ty?) and nk02 have not only managed to obtain the HTC Hero‘s new (and almost final) Sense UI-infused firmware, but have spruced it up for consumption by HTC Magic / Dream users. There’s naturally a bit of glitchiness — apparently WiFi and Bluetooth don’t work at the moment, and the camera is all funkified, but the real treat here is the first implementation of Flash 10 on Android, even if it is a bit “laggy” on the RAM-starved G1. The widgets are also on display, and other than Flash the general experience is apparently pretty snappy. Naturally, the xda-dev folks won’t be leaving well enough alone, and we should be seeing refined versions of this and future Hero firmwares leading up to and after the release of the actual device.
