The information from the developer of this Rom is listed below and can also be found here
This ROM is only a build of Cyanogen's sources for HTC Hero and I take no credit for any of this work. If you are considering donating any money for this fantastic ROM, please do so at http://www.cyanogenmod.com/. Please come to me with any support issues, and I'll do what I can to get things resolved. Please let me repeat that. Do not go to Cyanogen for support for this ROM. Report your issues here and if there are larger issues that need to be addressed in the CM code, I will report them. Cyanogen deserves your donations for the work he's done, but first level support should be done through me.. since he does not officially support the HTC Hero, lacking one of his own.

- This ROM does not contain the new 3-D Launcher2.apk. The way it's developed uses quite a lot of video RAM, and that combined with normal activity can cause our devices to soft reboot with out-of-memory errors. Until we can design something that functions in a similar way, we will be using the older version of the Launcher.
- There is currently an issue with Gallery3D where it does not render properly once the screen has been rotated. It works in either landscape or portrait, but gets 'messed up' when the screen is rotated. We have not identified the source of this issue but will continue to pursue it.
- The 'zipalign' code does not always seem to do the right thing and as a result launching an application following a cache wipe may take two opens of the application. I'm currently looking into this.
- This ROM does not contain any of the kernel customisations that are present in the CyanogenMod versions for Dream/G1/Nexus. This is because we do not currently have the required kernel sources (or we haven't quite figured it all out yet). So no, this does not have BFS enabled.
- The graphics on some applications (Market in particular) aren't specifically designed for mdpi-resolution devices. This includes the keyboard that includes voice search.
- Two keyboard appear under the input methods menu. This is not an issue, but there are two keyboards included, one that includes voice transcription and the stock keyboard. Choose whichever one you'd like.
- Some of the stock live wallpapers do not work properly, likely due to issues with video RAM and the renderscript library. I would suggest you use wallpapers from the market, simply search for 'live wallpapers'
- This ROM does not provide Facebook contacts synchronization supported natively. There are several applications you can download from the Market that can provide this functionality.
- The headphone icon does not appear in the notification bar when headphones are connected.
- If this is your first time downloading this ROM, you must wipe data and cache. I will not support you if you do not wipe data and cache before installing the first version of this ROM. If you are installing v-1.0, your data and cache will automatically be wiped, so ensure you have a backup of your data.
- Download the latest version of CyanogenMod-Hero from this post and save it to your SD card
- Download the latest version of GoogleBits for CyanogenMod-Hero and save it to your SD card
- Reboot your device into recovery mode
- If this is your first time installing CM-Hero, wipe data and cache.
- Flash the CyanogenMod-Hero zip file to your device
