I'm interested in learning from your wife's experience, mainly 'cause I've got a HTC Hero and haven't yet been brave enough to update it. :-)

Any major gotchas? Does it actually run much faster/better afterwards?

CyanogenMod on Hero

(Sorry, didn't see your comment until just now.)

It does run faster/better with CM6.1 than with stock. It definitely made her happier with the phone. Angry Birds became usable for her! :-) It also freed up a lot of space for apps.

Voicemail got slightly weird; she gets text messages for each voicemail left.

The phone is still slow and a little flaky though, and she's anxiously awaiting the day when she can get a new phone at a reasonable price.

I'm curious to see how CM7 works on the Hero.
