Bit of a wide open question maybe? But I'm sick of waiting for HTC to release the 2.1 update and want to move to a 2.1 ROM on my unbranded UK Hero.
I'm not bothered whether it's got sense or not I just want a fully working fast ROM.
What do people recommend.
Thanks
Sense - VillainRom 5.2 (5.3 should be out tomorrow)
Non Sense - ( I don't really use them so not sure)
Sense - VillainRom 5.2 (honestly ... In my personal opinion, there is a lack of competition)
non Sense - I've tried a bunch, but I just can't get into using a crippled phone.
I've been using Sense Hero 2.1 by Stickman
The font that is used in the pictures on Htcdevscene.info has reverted back to the normal font as people were'nt Happy !!!!
Everthing is working fine at the moment and another update is due out to fix some issues.
Can anyone compare this to the Villian ROM as I havn't tried that one.
Thanks
I tried almost all 2.1 roms on XDA, and even if developers made an awesome work on it, 2.1 is not worth it yet on Hero.
Roms are pretty stable, but not 100%, it's really slow compared to 1.5, and the battery drain remain huge.
Last thing, if you use Spotify, I think you can forget about 2.1 roms for now.....
MCR 3.2 is still the best
Well you say that but VillainRom 5.2 certainly is not slower than 1.5 roms

Do you guys feel that when using 2.1 roms, the phone starts out so fast and stable when you just flashed them then a couple of nights later, its so laggy and some things start to make problems like making phone calls or wifi stops working or acouple or the lag becomes more and more
my favorite 2.1? aHero 0.8: clean, stable and I don't have to complain about "issues"
Vanillain 2.0 JIT - AOSP maybe is better, I have to test it (Vanillain 1 was awsome)
One advantage about Vanilla ROMs: you can, if you want, use JIT

I also tried that, even with 2 or 3 applications running the phone remain laggy. Back to MCR after 1 month and a half on 2.1 (VillainRom and aHero), my hero is smooth again and I can use Spotify without having to kill all processes before.
And that doesn't prevent anyway from the battery drain
Was using Legend port but as was going for Holiday, downgraded to 1.5 for GPS. Now I'm itching to try but ROM development seems to be in explosion . Gone few threads for almost a week now and still cannot find any definitive answers:
a) Which build has the stable GPS without that on/reboot-off/reboot bug?
b) without sleep bug?
c) Bluetooth audio call working without any problem?
d) Without Camera green-blue tint
e) 95% stable? well close to 100% will be bonus
f) Can hold charge for at least of 7-10 hrs.
Thanks.
I'm using Legendary v1.3.5 right now and it looks good. Waiting for VillainRom 5.3 tho.. ;-)

What ROM do YOU use and WHY?
I start!
Im using Cronos 2.1.2 because its a fast ROM with those features I need and it got sense UI.
Make a poll This is probably in the wrong section! But then again maybe not CMH
cheers
You forgot to answare the topic DaanJordaan. I also reported it so staff can decide if this is the right section.
I can also add a vote when I see what kind of ROM people use.
Cronos Droid 2.1.2 because it is fast, has sense, responsive, Feeyo is always coming out with updates and it rocks.

I think he is leading in all versions whether sense or Froyo and now even Vanilla
there are a couple of roms i've tried and some i really like...
- modaco repack + oc kernel by behnaam = stable, smooth, good battery life
- kimera 2.1 = super smooth, stable + excellent battery
haven't tried any of the Villain stuff so can't really say anything about their roms...
currently i'm back on Cronos 2.1 with latest kernel; the battery really is excellent ( imho even better then before ) all works really well and smooth.

I think so but I want to try out his new AOSP Eclair but if I am going for Eclair I was thinking about CMH, so I can't decide on which. =\
Cronos 2.1.2 : )
Has Sense and still fast. Of course the ROM I use has to be stable. And it has the 2.1 features, otherwise I would use SenseHero 1.6 that is the best 1.5 ROM for Hero
Ohh... and Feeyo made a 730Mhz step for me; overclock is an important feature
FroydVillain: Because FroYo has so many features that Eclair is missing. And the CM-team (lox) is rather slow to update (I don't count the nightlies in, as they are missing a lot of work)
And now sense isn't on my phone, my battery will last a day longer
Kimera 2.1. I try a lot of ROMs but this one is the best one with Sense UI. Batery life is incredible, it's fastest and smoother 2.1 ROM ever made.
FC = 0!
This is top ROM!

A variety of them because they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Another pathetic question and one which will never have an unbiased answer (aside from mine ).
Fusion ROM 2.2 Froyo, I've tried many ROMS and this is by a long way the best one. In my opinion of course
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
I 'basically' use Cronos 2.1.2 as it is the fastest, smoothest, most stable and least battery hungry 2.1 ROM with Sense. It runs superb with JIT and overclocking.
When I say 'basically' I mean that I have done some tweaks to it myself in order to get FriendStream working and the patched Rosie that allows screen-rearranging in pich-zoomed overview, and have done lots of trimming to it to get rid of stuff that I don't want/need/use to save some memory.
I've been reading through this for a while and can't seem to find any info on this, of course...it could be due to lack of sleep, but who's counting the hours??
SO...Which of the Froyo Roms out there are the Best/working as far as features go? Running 2.1 Update 1 on mine currently...With xRecovery installed.
I like renderio2005 rom with a gingerbread theme. I had very little problems with it.
But like gingerbread better. Just an opinion
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.3.2 gingerbread rom from rdannar
Right - But isn't there still a couple issues with things working on the Gingerbread roms for this phone?
I'm using Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V4.3 [06-03-11] [Tweaked+Theme+Extras]. For me, its very very stable. Didn't give me any problems until now.
Renderios rom is 2.2. If u were wondering

+1 except for the camera (known issue with all froyo's as far as I can tell).
So is the gingerbread ROM thats out there just as stable as the froyo roms? And are you guys flashing these over with xRecovery?
Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V4.3 is very stable, fast and highly recommended
I use the native camera with no issues and use Vignette if I need to use the camera flash.
I also use the version of Videocam Illusion in the link below for video recording which has been tweaked by the developer to run on our Froyo based X10 roms. The quality isn't great but it's better than not having any video recording facility:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984925
Lmao you can tell what I'm using by my sig
Yeah I love this ROM, especially with all the added customization you can do through the CyanogenMod Settings Menu, such as change LED colors and easily change themes, it makes it a great ROM :]
Camera works and to take video, you have to use Videocam Illusions with only records in 640x480. But I can deal with that.
question, anyone notice X10's battery drain a lot faster with Froyo roms?
in comparison to stock 2.1 rom

From X10 XDA App on Wolfbreak's CM6.1v4 Froyo 2.2.1
No battery drain on Free X10 Beta 4, for me anyway. I'd say the same or even slightly better.
Im pretty sure that I'm running the Generic 2.1 Update 1 on mine now, The only issue I've got is I'm picking up 4G Speeds throughout Colorado (except up here in the hills) and I'd be more concerned with loosing that when going to one of the custom ROM's...
Could just be me, But this phone SCREAMS when you get that lovely little "H" on the signal bar! Dunno - Maybe I'll try it since I backed up my stock ROM yesterday with xRecovery...We'll just have to see, but it sounds like Wolfbreaks ROM is the best one out there next to the Free Beta4 one...
Thanks for all the input
I use CyanogenMod-6.1.1-v03 and have done for several weeks now, its really stable with a few issues, like the camera (common problem for most roms) and bluetooth sometimes acts a little weird when I try to pair it with my MW600 headset.
Battery drainage is normal, but I use a extended battery with 2600mAh instead of original, so its hard for me to compare.

You still get HSPA. If you think your phone flies now, wait until you try 2.2. We would not be on it if it was slower. Speed is basically what you are getting by giving up a fully functional camera and other customizations.
I switch between FreeX10 beta4 and rendeiro's cm6.1.3 and would say they're both pretty stable. I don't have a problem with either one for daily use. I switch back to modded 2.1s for camera and camcorder.

I tried a lot of all roms, so far 2.1 seems to be the more fast and stable of all, except elelinux speedmachine which is also great, but i'm a "sense" guy, give it a shot its great.
I'd recomend Goku's Decked up for Life rom. Its up to date 2.3.7 and easily the fastest and most stable GingerBread rom I have tried.... and I have tried a few. No FC issues... very fast.... lightweight and memory friendly. Read the thread and you'll see he started with a quick rom and its just getting better with every release.
Use the link in my signature. Do a nandroid backup 1st.... then give it a few days. Worst case scenario.... its not for you and you can go back to your original and search on.

I can confirm that this ROM is best from what i have tried regarding stability, memory management and speed
I can attest for the Heroine ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295991). It is very nice AND very stable. Been running it continuously for about a week which is long for me.
The Aeonflux ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284830) is also very nice and stable. I think I'll go back and check it out again.
That Floyo 1.2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784689) you've been using is a great 2.2.1 ROM as you've probably noticed.
Another 2.2.1 ROM I use sometimes is Froyd 1.7.3-R2 (no xda link I could find so http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/4617-May-15th-FroydVillain-1.7.3-R2-Released). Froyd SEEMS to slow down / bog down slightly over time but I MIGHT be imagining it.
if i installed cm6.1 or cm7.1 with the same flykernel, would anyone have an opinion as to which phone would be generally more solid/speedy?
i feel a bit frustrated by my experience with cm7.1 and all the ginger based roms, but it seems that many are wowed by the performance.
just looking for some opinons. thanks
i find myself in a similar situation, and am currently on the Heroine++ rom for the sake of speed, but it is quite outdated, and i've been wanting a good 2.2 rom.
anyway, from my expericen, everybody is wowed by 7.1.0 only because of how slow it used to be, it really has come a long way since GB for hit our heros, but it is still a tiny bit too slow and laggy for my liking, and i had some issues with the in call UI not responding fast enough, so i couldn't always answer phone calls or the phone would still vibrate/ring after i'd answered it.
as far as kernel goes, older roms such as 2.1 are better on the older kernel, and newer roms such as GB will probaby be expecting a newer kernel, and therefore run better with it. but i'm not sure how stable the lastest venturas/venturax is compare to flykernel.
anyway, I am rambling.
in short, i think the older roms 2.1/2.2 are the only solid and speedy roms we have, GB is still a bit too slow.
(shame that the least developed roms currently are the 2.2, espcailly the 2.2 sense roms)
Flykernel and cm6.2 cm6.1 ftw, seriously.
I've been alternating between floyo and froydvillain for a while. Froyd is slightly more smoother imo.
And then I put bharat's FroYo port on. It has been VERY good so far. There is even a great ICS theme for it by habarug. Check it out with flykernel.

How's it working for you?
Sent from my HTC Hero using Tapatalk
it's working alright, i do occationally get a force close though.
i'm not sure how the other froyo roms are set up, but this one comes with dithering off, which could explain why it feels snappier (slows down a bit if i turn on the dithering)
finding several apps to do the job of sense is pretty hard though =/ fast dialers on the hero are few and far between.
doubt i'll change it any time soon, unless i break something or chocolatefroyo gets it's carmera fixed.
good rom, not sure how different the froyo roms are though (i have no idea what happpened between cm 6.1.3 and 6.2.0)
anyway this is a little off topic now.

for the record my current situation is running cm6.1 with flykernel 13, and using setcpu to overclock. i would say it it like a racecar compared to my experiences on 7.1
still open to thoughts if anyone wants to continue discussing this. ultimately i just want a rock solid phone that is as snappy as possible, and i get frustrated when trying out roms that have various features that work poorly. as a result i have mostly stuck to CM stable releases.

Hmmm, I see your link says otherwise. When I made that statement I was just reading the CM version from the ROM I currently was running. FroydVillain I think. I just re-checked the build.prop and think I got the CM version and the Android OS version mixed together. Whoops.

Hi guys,
Now that I bought a new phone (SGS3 ), I need a fast ROM for my Hero, I want to use it for GPS mostly, so it doesn't need to be the latest Android version available, not even a very pretty ROM, just need it to be fast and with a 100% working GPS.
What ROM do you recomend?
Thanks a lot :good:

Decked_X for speed.
Villainrom 12 for stability.
(ignore froyo roms - those have battery issues)..
I'd agree with 1ceb0x
Decked_x(2.3.7) is very fast (if gps wise you mean- 'satnav' then I have issues with Google Navigation(not auto rerouting)
Villainrom 13 (2.1)is also very fast- I use it with Launcher Pro- as on occasions I found with HTC sense a slight hang (roughly i'd guess 4-5 seconds) when pressing home.
Heroine++(2.1) is also very fast- as above i use Launcher Pro with this too- tbh couldn't really notice a difference between this and Villainrom 13 both are very fast
Sorry wrong phone forum. But the launcher info still applies.
4 to 5 seconds pressing home? That's horrible. You should try a different launcher. I know LPP I is supposed to be one of the fastest launchers but adw works a lot more fluid for me I've found. Also try ftl launcher or lightening launcher. Hell even zeam is faster than launcher pro. At the moment. As for roms I'd go with blazer for gb or Frankenstein fif02 for ics. I use Frankenstein now and ran GPS yesterday all thru new Orleans it worked perfectly.
Sent from my Rooted Samsung Epic 4G Touch, Frankenstein FF02 Rom ,
Am sold on the flashy transition effects when scrolling through homescreens with Launcher pro .- also i like the ability to be able to hide apps with LP.(getting off topic now -SORRY!)
recently been having dreadful Force close issues with VR13 and Heroine++ both 2.1roms. (Most likely my fault- think my sd card is getting clogged up from being flashed too many times-even though do all the wipes before flashing).
Flashed Heroine++ yesterday- going back to Decked_X today!
on that would recommend Decked_X
Hope you find what your after -Please let us know what you settle on.

Where are you from?
Where can I get the latest radio?
My GPS doesn't see any satelites :S
Hi guys,
I think I'm staying with SHPONGLE v3.5, but I can't update my Radio, I've downloaded the file, renamed it to update.zip, put it in my sd, and in Recovery I choose Install update.zip from sd-card, then it shows that the upgrade was done correctly (very fast) and it says to reboot the device to end the instalation, but when I reboot I still have the old Radio version.
Any help?
Thanks

You must have S-OFF in your device. You can find out this information in the bootloader. It should be written "S-OFF". IF it is "S-ON" you will need to "S-OFF" it in the first time before trying to install a different radio version.
Glad everyone is using my rom. It makes me jumping for joy xD!

Everyone's using it because it is a very good Rom

I have been using elelinux for a while, and i tried SHPONGLE v3.5, and I have to tell you, this is fast. elelinux is also fast, but right now i prefer SHPONGLE v3.5

Hi guys,
Now that I bought a new phone (SGS3 ), I need a fast ROM for my Hero, I want to use it for GPS mostly, so it doesn't need to be the latest Android version available, not even a very pretty ROM, just need it to be fast and with a 100% working GPS.
What ROM do you recomend?
Thanks a lot :good:

I would recommend Heroin++ I'd been using from long time.
