    Has anyone who has had a rooted hero with a custom ROM installed tried out the official 2.1 ROM?

    Is there a significant difference between any custom ROM they've used and the official 2.1 update?

    Argh when my alarm goes off in the morning my volume rocker doesn't make it snooze anymore!

    I've checked in the settings and I have it set to snooze with the side button but no joy :(

    I first moved it to July with no joy but after changing to November it worked perfectly.

    I had to to install two updates. It took quite a bit of time and got stuck at 40 and then maybe 70-80% but I let it run and hey presto, it's all good.

    I'm really liking 2.1, haven't come across any problems thus far. The update gmail is lovely.

    there are no advantages to changing only that your on an official ROM

    everything looks and feels the same, it IS the same thing effectively

    If you go to Official, you LOSE ROOT ACCESS

    Two problems:

    My clock reset to 1980
    Market has stopped working

    When I enter the "market", it opens for a second and then just exits outs. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    I've tried resetting the Market cached data through manage applications to no avail. I've rebooted the phone just in case something funny happened on first boot after the upgrade.

    Firmware version: 2.1-update1
    Kernel Version: 2.6.9-063c4d24
    Software number: 3.32.405.1

    UPDATE: and it seems it suddenly started working again, ah well.

    Got it there last night and........... very nice. It's almost like having a whole new phone. Things seem faster and smoother. I haven't had a chance to look at it in depth but will do so eventually. Two things that I did notice however and which I don't like are:

    It now shows Album Art in the photo browser which is a pain in the ass
    It's listing my Google contacts with my phone contacts which is annoying


    Overall though a welcome update.
