GSM HTC Hero
The HTC Hero has seen a lot of love from the VillainRom team, with rapid releases of "fixed" versions of HTC firmwares, often before HTC themselves released them. This has meant a growing userbase who, unhappy with official builds, turned to VillainRom as an alternative with developers who cared.

VillainRom has released ROMs for the HTC Hero based on Android versions 1.5, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 with the current latest versions being "FroydVillain 1.5.0" (Android 2.2) and "VillainRom 12" (Android 2.1|HTC Sense)
