HTC Hero issues

[flext]

I have seen some people having troubles playing on the HTC Hero. I am currently running Cyanogen 6.1 on mine (Android 2.2) and haven't been able to get PL to run, so I did a little digging.

If you look at the requirements for the program is requires 2 things:
Android 2.0+
OpenGL ES 1.1 support

I knew I was running greater than 2.0, so I looked into the second requirement. Since the Hero is an older phone I figured it was worth a look.

I grabbed a packaged from the market called "glInfo" which shows what version of OpenGl you are running. Unsurprisingly, my Hero is running OpenGL ES 1.0. I'm guessing this is why I only get a black screen when trying to run the game.

To all you who are getting the insufficient memory when trying to install it on a Hero, I don't have any advice except stop trying because it won't help.

If anyone knows if it is possible to update the OpenGl support that would be helpful.

Yep, loops this error on Hero with 2.1:

E/sts.pl ( 686): After eglCreateContext: EGL error: 0x3004

Should be an easy fix to disable/override ES1.1 functions...
