can we turn hero into itouch like device?

[jbuggydroid]

Hey guys and gals I'm just wondering if there is a rom out there that would basically turn my old hero that just lies around my apartment sine I got an epic into something similiar like an itouch. Meaning no phone calls no phone radio. Just a wifi only device that doesn't do a lot of multitasking like the hero normally does. It would be neat to be able to have a rom like that running froyo. I'm right now running cynogen on it and loving it.basically I just wanna run games or apps that don't require the device to be a phone.

Any thoughts or ideas on this. Am I the only one thinking this crazy idea?

I don't see why it wouldn't. Fire it up and try setting up your Google account - if you can't setup the account then skip that part and you should have access to the phone and side load apps to the phone. You will still be able to flash any ROM as you normally would.

Well what I have done so far is using the power control widget that came witht the cyangen rom I disabled everything but wifi so that does it. What I'm wondering tho is if there isn't a custom rom tailored to what I'm talking about. That way if I'm letting say like a little kid play on the hero or somebody else I wouldn't have to worry aout them accidently activating the radio on the device. Just think a custom rom tailored for the purpose I'm talking about would be pretty cool.

No, I don't think there is. Try deleting the dialer.apk with a file manager, then you shouldn't get the screen to dial with. Don't know if that would work our not


Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!

You could wipe it, sell it on ebay, and buy an iPod touch.

Def avoiding that lol. What I did was used the power control widget to turn off data.
