Hey. I like many other people are stuck with 1.5 + sense UI on my hero. Im looking for a fully working android 2.0 rom with no sense UI Just a nice stock vanilla rom so that i can use many of the applications ive been waiting to use since i had my phone back in october.
I have yet to root my phone and i wont until i find and know of a rom that works really well on the hero. Such as no hardware problems eg camera and things. And that is also quick and stable.
Is there such a rom? if so please could you point me in the right direction.
Thanks
The closest to a complete Vanilla Android 2.0 ROM for the GSM Hero is Lox's AOSP-Eclair-2.0 beta1.
You could always not be lazy & do your research by look at the majority of the availabe GSM Hero ROMs here. All the information that you need are in the Hero sub-forums, you just have to look.

After reading this forum for quite a while, am i the only person who's sitting on the fence when it comes to ROMs?
All the ROMs which i checked out have one problem or another.... either not stable, slower than stock, buggy, or lack in one department or another. I don't really see the point of updating to any ROMs if there are some unresolved issues.
Is there any 2.0 based roms which are not buggy and which have all functions working perfectly? Or should i wait until the official ROM comes out?
copying my thread?

Didn't see your thread... sorry. Seems like we are in the same boat.
that is why i stay with modaco rom xD faster then the original & keep those most function with speed boost.
Seems to be the sae reasonas to why im also trying to dig into customising roms. Though,thus far, any un-official rom i have tested thus far seems to be atleast just as stable as any official rom, except they tend to be alot faster. Might be worth it to try and get some sort of guide started once i know how it all works. One of the issues i didnt manage to find anything on yet is signing a modified rom .zip-archive.
One thing ill definately share when ive completed it will be a very stripped down sense 2.1 rom, and then try to see where i can get from there. Im currently in-between villain rom and the 1.6 beta rom with cooker app, switching back and forth from one another...
Atleast that tought me how to backup and restore things should i keep you all updated if anything changes?
How do you like villain? have you tried kagu? I'm undecided between the two..
i'm using ckdroid ... it's quite fast. very stable and fulfills all of my needs
if you don't really need / want a 2.x rom you should definitly go with modaco for the great tweaks and speed improvements!
also, the first ported roms from cyanogen are being released!
most of present quirks come from drivers not being available for 2.x roms from htc because they haven't realeased them in their own 2.x rom yet. just be a little more patient.
there are already rumors of an official 2.1 htc rom with sense coming out in the beginning of march

As the Villain chef, you'd possibly expect me to promote my own rom. However, I find Kagu to be an outstanding rom. lox has done a great job with it. If I wanted a quick, Vanilla, feature-rich rom, I'd go with Kagu.
I love Sense UI though... hence Villain.
Kagudroid is good, CKDroid is awesome, but they are both Vanilla roms.
I like Villain ROM much better because of Sense UI, even though it's still a bit buggy and is a little slower. totally worth it for me.
You've obviously not been 'round the Dream parts of the forum...
hi could someone please tell me which sense rom to use on my hero as there is just so much to choose from im sure all are good but I would like the best out of the available ones please thanks , im currently using elinux froyo 2.2.1
Well, first of all this should be posted in the Q&A section, but VillainROM 12 is prob your best bet for all round stability and performance. It's based on 2.1 though so bare that in mind as you are coming from a Froyo 2.2 build.
It's been a while since I used a Sense ROM (got addicted to 2.2 stock) but the best was VillainRom12 or MoDaCo. There are ports of Sense for 2.2 around, but as far as I know they all have hardware issues (such as camera or wi-fi not working).

haha im sorta still new to all this custom rom mucking round business, i have a vague idea but probz best if sumone just explaind to me fully =D
soz for inconvenience =/
Android pushes out updates once in a while. (2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc). Whenever this is done, HTC has to build their own "layer" on top of stock android. This layer is called HTC Sense. (typical examples are the big "phone" button on your homescreen, the 1x1 power widgets, the "grid" you see when dragging an app icon over your homescreen, the lock-screen that has to be pulled down etc).
For the Hero they stopped making sense for 2.1+, so there will be no official HTC Roms for 2.2 and 2.3.
There are however custom ROMs, that implement 2.2 or 2.3 for Hero, and some even come with HTC Sense.
In this thread there is a list of custom Hero ROMs, sorted by Sense or no-Sense http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
As far as I can see, the only 2.1+ ROMs that have Sense are ChocolateFroyo, Sengle, Froyo Sense.
Have a good read at which one is stable or not, because I don't know which one is.
so, to answer your initial question about the new version of Sense: I don't think they will put out a version that has the newest version (although I don't know for sure) but at least there are some custom ROMs that give you a new Android version with Hero Sense.

There's been numerous attempts to port a sense 2.1 rom and sense 3.5 rom. The results for the former are pretty much the same throughout, i.e. bluetooth is not working properly. So if you are not using bluetooth at all, that could be a good option for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260578
As for Sense 3.5, the developers have yet to find a way to make the rom boot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285714
With CM7 being out there and stable, and with ICS source code released, I am not sure we can really hope to have either of these sense roms fully functional as it appears very little work is being pursued (if at all). You may want to send a message to the developers to have a better answer on this.
Well I have to finally break down and ask for a little help with this patchrom stuff. I have been unable to get anything going no matter what I do and what little there is for guides is on the vague side. It does not matter what phone you have been able to get it to work on as long as you have made it work.
I am on the Htc Evo 3d and wanting to do an ICS patchrom with sense. There was an active dev who did the ics rom till he moved on to jb but he did not use patchrom. What I am looking to do is update the ics version from sense 3.5 to sense 4.1. Now you might wonder why I would even care which sense base was used since this is MIUI but a quick look at my work and you will soon understand. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1819904 This is not your typical MIUI rom but a MIUI rom with Sense running on it also. So the sense base update plays into the fact that I add all the sense goodies back into the rom so that it is a hybrid rom. It has all the joys of the MIUI customization along with most of the Sense goodness.
Well any help anyone is willing to give would be greatly appreciated and if you are also on a Sense rom then I would be more than willing to help you bring this to your phone also. As of this moment the 3vo is the only phone to have this unique rom but I would love to share it with more than just the 3vo users since it is an elderly phone quickly losing users to upgrades.
Thanks
