HTC never sits still as far as releasing new products, and the same goes for the software they put on them. We started with the base Android UI and then came HTC Sense and now a minor update with more of a manila feel has appeared codenamed Espresso.

The screen shots below are taken from an update for the GSM based HTC Hero. It’s built around Android 2.1 with the Espresso UI running.

A system dump will be coming soon. Stay tuned.

I was an IT consultant for 20 years and ran my own web design and development company for an additional 3 years. I have been involved with technology from birth. OK, that maybe an exaggeration, but it sure is a long time. I'm also an avid Home Theater geek and self appointed installer for friends and relatives. My first serious modding of Smart-Phones started with my T-Mobile WING and now Android devices. I'm also a bit of a photographer, although Android has kind of taken over my life and photography has taken a back seat.

    I don’t believe this is 2.0… the lock screen is 1.5, any build of 2.0 or 2.1 i’ve seen has been a different lock screen than that one. That build looks very much like a modified build I’ve seen at xda-developers.com of HERO 1.5 with some glossy icon mods.
