Hi all,
I just got my Hero and haven't tried a custom rom jet. Therefor i want to start with the most "stock-like" and stable 2.1 rom, so no fancy extra's.. only to get the 2.1 feeling.
Which rom would you guys advise?
So to be clear, this is NOT a topic for finding " the best rom there is " (cause posts on that topic are always removed..) but just to look for the most basic , stable 2.1 rom.
Hope someone can help, thanks!
VillainRom 5.5
i didn't get along with villain; sensehero is the only 2.1 that's lasted more than 24 hours on my phone.
m8
try both of them and choose
(personally I like SenseHero)
I use VanillaEclair 2.0.1
Tried Villian, but it felt a bit slow trying to navigate menus, as well as a bit bored of sense so wanted a change

same. tried lots of 2.1 roms and found this one most reliable.
fast, stable, no batt drain and good support.
check it out here.
Hi Guys,
thanks for all of your quick reply's , this should get me started!
Guess i'll try Vanilla's first
You might like the SuperHero when it is released to public. Meant to be as fast as non-sense android with a couple of sense features chucked in for good measure.
For me it's SlideVillain - it's beautifull and very fast&stable. In my opinion it's even faster when you also activate app2sd good luck

am currently running VaniliaEclair 4.0, want to flash a new rom, but dont want to change after that for a while
a question. Whats new in froyo ? its better to flash a eclair rom or froyo nowdays ? how stable is that ?
which rom do u prefer ? that are most stable, fast and great batterylife ?
i saw a benchmark thread here a while ago, listed that vaniliaEclair 5.0 was the fastest one and got the most power of all the roms. But that was a while ago... which rom is the leading one right now ?
I personally like Floyo. Everything that matters to me works nicely. Haven't found anything that doesn't work.
Allot of people would say Froyd Villain, Though its nice, it hasent had any update for the past few months.
Ok a small text about the differences of the 3 that are out there who got atleast a name.
1. Froyd: Made by the well known Villainteam. It was for its time the best one (2 months ago) Still runs nice, had a wicked fast GPS fix, 5 to 10 sec. Has allot of preinstalled apps. On the villainsite there are allot of themes you can use with this rom. And I mean ALLOT
2. Elelinux: More up to date then Froyd, way less themes avalable then Froyd, though more stable for my taste. Still some preinstalled apps.
3. Floyo, My fav. Clean, basic fast, and up to date . Made by the creator of the awesome FlyKernel, wich i now even use with my Slide Port rom. This one had 2 awesome themes you can choose to use, its fast basic and stable like a good oiled up car .
I would say Floyo is the best, but thats my oppinion .
Have never tried Fusion rom, cuss the notes dont really atract me to use, and i havent seen any themes for it . Some say its nice some don't just try them all and use the one you like
I've tried them all. FROYO_2.2_Special_Edition_v2 by elelinux is the first one I'm using for more then a week.

I liked VanillaEclair4, now i have Floyo.
VE4 little faster, but no updates anymore.
But i have not test any else ROM, so i can´t say...
all are great, try them all and choose the one suitable you
Wish these topic were locked immediately with the comment "learn to read"
FYI - i could link you to at least 10 topics from the last month discussing the exact same thing and nothing has changed - its getting frustrating seeing the same thing over and over again
FusionROM is pretty decent, but I like Floyo the best. It is very stable.
HWMNBN has a pretty good 2.2 ROM out right now (Cronos Froyo). It is very quick and responsive and has a really nice optional Galaxy-based theme.
hmm i have hard time to choose rom =) i really dont like to try each out it will take forever for me xD
so basicially the best rom to go is Floyo ? if i want a 2.2 rom ? i want to run with flykernel 11, is it ok ? how stable will it go ?
so is it more powerfull than VaniliaEclair 5 ?
btw i have read that froyo is 2.5 times faster than eclair, is it true ? i mean htc hero will never get the official 2.2

It's a good 2.2 ROM to start with, IMO. Very stable.
Pretty sure Flykernel-11 in included in Floyo. The ROM dev is also the kernel dev (Erasmux).
If you don't like it, just flash another ROM! Hell, flash all of them this weekend if you'd like to.
Well Im very new at this even though ive had my hd2 for almost a year now. my digitizer went out and im getting a replacement phone sooon. anywho im not a fan of the stock ROM and i want something faster without all the applications like barnes and noble and all that. ive looked around at the Roms but i have no idea what im looking at!!! can yall help me out?

It would be better to test it yourself, then you can decide which one is suitable for you
For me, LIA rom is my favorite but the development was halted
Energy and Elegancia are my favorite now
Cheers...
I gotcha yeah i was just trying to figure out which one has gotten rid of all the stupid "Stock apps" that it comes with. haha the last phone i modified was the old tmobile shadow... but i was looking at the energy and it seems pretty good to. which one seems to be the most stable?

Any of the Energy ROMs are stable and smooth and has all that stuff you were talking about out of them. I have tried three of them myself. I have not tried the Elegancia ROMs yet, might be my next tested ROM though.
Ok cool thanks the energy one will probably be my first ROM then
Energy are good, the older 23699 is my favourite as sense version seems very stable & 23699 is more compliant to older apps in terms of page scrolling.
Any of the Energy ROMs should be a good, my HD2 is close to perfect thanks to Energy & XDA
Hi!
Dutty's ROMs and Miri's ROMs are also well. At those ROMS the stock philosophy is required so you got a clean and very-very similar result as at Stock ROM only difference is that any annoying issues are gone
Cheers!
I second Dutty's ROM. Running V21 WWE atm. Smooth and fast.
alright cool ill have to check those out thanks for the heads up!
Right now I'm using Artemis v57.
Very fast and stable
Hey guys,
I've tried CM7, Revolutions and Asgard for GB Roms and for me and my 10 hour work days, I need something that'll last a little more and will respond better. My experience with the three roms were not the best, but promising. It didn't dissuade me from GB roms, but rather excited me. I just am gonna have to wait until they're 100% smooth haha.
Anyway, I've only ever really used 2.2 Roms and the only ones I've ever loaded was Axura, Nero/Bionix, and Trigger (and flagship, but I don't count that because it was for a day). I'm wanting something different and I think I've decided on these, but if you guys recommend something different please let me know.
Anyway, I would love to hear your opinions and I appreciate the time you guys are taking to respond.
Respectfully,
Vahdyx
I like Bi-Winning and most other 2.2.1 ROMs just because my phone seems to do really well with them. But to be honest, everyone is going to have something different to say. My best advice is just pick one and give it a try for a few days and see how you like it. If you don't like it (or even if you do!) try another, and see which you like better...
Well, for GB I'm currently using Revolution RC1.
It's pretty neat.
Just one thing, when he uploads something, wait for everyone else to try it.
It seems like the roms always work on his phone and everyone else's just bootloops.
The current version is very stable and fast though.
For 2.2, dunno if you've tried Boinix NextGen v2.
That one was one of the best ROMS I've ever tried.
Not a single error anywhere and the battery was awesome.
for the 2.21 roms try Biwinning or V if you want to try a good GB rom try the Asgard Rom it is excellent
Hey vahdyx,
I'm a big fan of vanilla ROMs. If you're going to stick with 2.2 for now, I can tell you that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054032 is great. There are little bugs though, such as the dialer crashing frequently when editing contact info.
If you want a vanilla ROM with GPS and Swype preinstalled, there is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832532, but I haven't tried this one.
If you do end up using a 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM, I highly suggest using the Bali kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043947. This kernel optimizes battery life so that your phone will have an easier time making it through your workday, but is definitely not for you if you're an overclocker.
From what I've heard, if you are currently at 2.3, if you want to go back to Froyo, I *believe* that you have to ODIN back to stock first. http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/. Youtube is useful if you don't know how to do this.
Hope this helps!
I suggest sgs hybrid it runs really great its a 2.3 JVP rom and it has great speed and battery

Hey, i am using my Hero as my work phone and am running Floyo 1.2.0 which has been a good rom, but i have the urge to try something else for a change.
Can someone recommend a good, stable and fast rom for everyday use?

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.
Does everybody got that problem on HTC Hero GSM or just only me?
After WIPE EVERYTHING, repartitions, and everything what is needed to install rom, roms like Rose v5, Salsa Sense v4, SFM and every else with GB 2.3.x are so slow and got lot of fcs (usually Rosie FC).
And always I need back to Roms with 2.1 Sense, because their working great (VillainROM 12, Heroine ++ and more).
Any ideas what I need to make newest roms working good?
maybe try flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526920 its the Open GL 2.0 hack/mod. it may be worth a try but honestly i dont know how much of an improvement it will make. i've seen people say it makes sense 3.5 roms a bit quicker so it hopefully should do the same on the sense 2.1/3.0 roms.
also i've heard it can cause bootloops on some roms so just remember to back up your current rom first
EDIT: or if you want you could wait a little longer. Bharat said he was going to release Rose V6 sometime soon
Yes, I know that.
But it's annoying me if I see posts like: "It's very fast, thanks!", "Fastest GB Rom ever" etc when I see on my hero It isn't true.
Normal GB roms are really fast (like Cronos), but these Sense Rom isn't.
And I was try this OpenGL hack and no improvement, but thanks anyway.
I'm just curious if I have this problem or everybody.
And sorry for my english.

No its not just you. Sense just slows down gingerbread roms e.g. on rose v5 I found the speed bearable but then I tried heroine ++ and also cronos which you mentioned and the speed was amazing and then when I switched back to rose I could clearly see a difference speed wise and found it frustrating that I'd pull down the notifications bar and it wouldn't pull down straight a way
So yeah I think everybody would agree that there's still a bit of work to do on these gingerbread sense roms
I think the only thing to do is wait : (

Ok, thanks. Now I'm satisfied, because I know that is normal problem, not only mine.
I don't think waiting will help you either, If you want fast GB with Sense you probably have to buy a new phone :/
