Hey,
I'm currently using MoDaCo Custom ROM 3.1 on the HTC Hero GSM, which I've had running since I first rooted a while back, but I was wondering if it is worth using a different ROM now? What is the best ROM to use at the moment, eg the most reliable? I'm asking, simply because I have been running Android 1.5 ever since I've owned the phone.. and it's now starting to feel rather out-dated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Down to preference. Im running VillainRom 10.3 with JIT enabled. Its stable OCd at 710 and get 4.8MFLOPS on Linpack.
Have decent battery (although only added JIT and got it stable today so that will affect it, but shouldnt affect it too badly

I fail to see what your sig is getting at, it seems to be an attack on villain for no reason at all. Your saying your getting around 3mflops at the moment (same as villainrom) then you say that with jit VR only gets 5.03 as if thats bad?
Anyway to answer the OP you just need to try different ones and see what you like.
VillainRom has an OTA updater that makes updating nice and simple, plus we are working on having a stable JIT release soon
Edit: apologies if I have misunderstood your sig

I don't attack Villain??? It's a great ROM but for simplicity and speed etc. I think Cronos Droid is the best... But I don't really get what you mean?? When did my sig say that 5.03MFLOPS is bad? It's marked with that little line on the bottom (which I don't know the word for in English?) But please explain further i don't want my sig to be misunderstood

Ok Keep the work up on Villain im looking forward to that JIT release
I was in the extact same place you were a while back, I think the problem your facing is trying to find a ROM thats as stable and as fast as modaco 3.1.
My suggestion get vanilla eclair 3.?? - 4.0 its stable, smooth, as fast if not faster than modaco and you get some nice cool features that seem to be missing from most hero ROMs.
You do however loose sense, but anyone with any sense will loose sense.
oh its also 2.1 as far as I can see, and its my current stable, everyday use ROM, occasionally you do get this freaky error when you unlock....very trippy, but just lock it and unlock it and the problems fixed.
Hope that helps, it does have a slightly shaky install, but if you want just PM me and I can help.
I like the chocolateEclaire. Faster than the vanilla and with all the features you desire.
On my Hero for a week and its a stayer.

P.s to original poster sorry for hijacking your post. Lol
Im looking for something which is anything greater than Android 1.5 and with google maps navigation built in.. can anyone help me? Theres so many different ROMs out there now, its got all confusing..
Its alright now guys, all my rooting knowledge has come flooding back to me and I've been testing out some ROMS. Thanks for your help though =)
hi guys i am new here so please be kind =D
ok, so i have a t-mobile g2 which i got in february and have been waiting ever since for 2.1. i am tired of waiting and am also thinking that 2.1 is probably a waste and would rather root.
so heres what i am looking for in a custom rom: longer battery life, overclocking, something that dosent lag alot (sense dosent but it has its annoying moments, especially on the lock screen), ease of use. you get the idea.
now i have not done alot of research into the custom rom area so any suggestions would be great.
and a second question: what is the best and safest way to go about rooting?
cheers guys

Cronos Droid 1.7.1 is the best for what you're saying It's THE fastest ROM out there
Here's a guide to root I haven't used it but im pretty sure it's how i did when i rooted (a looong time ago) so it should work

Here is a guide for rooting and installing custom ROMs.
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=375&start=0
You will need gold card method iirc
VillainROM 10.3 with JIT and ninpo's bfs kernel is really fast. And you mention lock screens. Vr has stock android one too with selectable wallpaper and working alarm
cool, thanks will take a look at these cheers.
any other suggestion on roms, ive heard alot about modaco... but i what have youhad experience with?
curlymanoliver said:

In my experiences with it it's the fastest official 2.1 ROM along with VillainROM (Cronos Droid is also based on it but MoDaCo is more "raw" (more official) if you can say that) but Cronos Droid is even faster because of Feeyos modified libraries MoDaCo is a bit more laggy at times but MCR 4 isn't released yet (it's only a RC i think?) so thats what you would expect... I think when MCR 4 is released it's probably as fast as Cronos Droid but for now I think Cronos Droid would be the best for you unless you are totally in to that shiny Legend/Desire kind of look (which Cronos Droid doesen't have) then i would recommend MoDaCo or VillainROM
ahhh cool, im not tooo bothered about the look as long as it runs well and gives me a bit better battery life. just a thought out of 10 what are the chances of bricking my phone?

Umm. I used modaco ages ago (about 7 months or so), but I don't really know what it's like these days.
I am actually one of the devs of VillainROM, so not really in any place to give a totally unbiased answer.
Basically, it depends on what you are after. If you are looking for the fastest ROM possible, then something like the new SuperHero, which we will be releasing in the next day or so, might be up your street. It's a cross between stock 'eclair android' and some little bits of HTC sense. So it has the speed of vanilla, with the little niceities of Sense.
If you're after a totally Vanilla ROM, there are some of them around too, often based on CyanogenMod. Look for the terms AOSP and Vanilla if you want one of these. Be aware they might lack some of the features you are used to currently, since HTC does add a fair bit of stuff on top of Android.
For the pure HTC Sense ROM, there are a good number of them out too, although I have to confess I have completely lost track of which ones are out there. There's one from 42turkeys I think, and modaco and cronos etc. although I can't really recommend any of them as I haven't used them.
If you are after the 'perfected theme', there's a VillainROM theme from petsasj over on www.villainrom.co.uk that finishes off some of the aesthetics of the ROM, as there are some little imperfections in HTC's release. If you pop over to the IRC channel (link on the homepage), someone will be able to answer any detailed questions you have with ROM etc.

Right. Bricking... Well, so long as you don't do anything stupid with your phone, like pulling battery, you should be fine. If you want someone to guide you through the process or answer any questions you have, pop onto the IRC i mentioned.
So long as you are careful, and follow the instructions to the letter, you should be absolutely fine
VillainROM has a few little extra kernels etc. and a couple of fixes on the Over-the-air updater app that might help you get some better performance and battery life too
Just ask if you need help
wow alot to think about, hmmm well, i like fast, but asthetics arnt a big matter to be honest, i just want it to run well. just another quick query, if i have to send it off for warrenty or anything i can revert back to stock yes?

Course Pop in the goldcard and then use the RUU (stock HTC ROM exe file) to restore back to the the factory condition
Fast is good for me too VR10.3 with ninpo's BFS kernel and 729MHz Overclock is good enough for me
im sure im gonna go with a villain rom as it has one of the clearest guides i have seen, plus i have the sdk and that stuff for the gold card thing. when is superhero out then seen as that is the fastest? gonna read it through a couple more times aswell so that i can really get to grips with what to do =]

The link isn't working for me either but I don't know anyone who has used the 'one click' methods.
I highly recomend BTDAG's guide linked in my sig (its the same guide as on Villain site) , you will get support if there is something you don't understand or if something unexpected happens. Read the whole thing through 1st, then start from the top.
arrgghh, just annoyed, cus it was working earlier. oh well. and yeah, will just have to follow the other one. i just liked the idea of a one click method. cheers =]
Quick mention, I believe I had the same phone as you T-Mobile_G2_Touch? The guide in my sig was created using the G2, if it helps
p.s. I advise using an XP machine, drivers for Windows 7 are a *****.

Sorry for posting here, but I caught wind from the Aria forums that CM6 would be ported to the Aria as soon as it's available.
So here I am ... wondering if there's any potential timeline for a CM6 release.
Sure would be nice if Cyanogen would include Aria in the CM6 target list.
@chrissoyars said yesterday there IS NO TIMELINE for cm6. when it happens it happens. just keep watching and waiting

The source has only been out for a little over 24 hours and people are asking when it's gonna be released already! haha. Not pickin on ya, it's just funny what kind of demand there is.
Also, as for the Aria, I'm sure there will be a skilled dev somewhere that will port CM6 over to that device as well as others in time.

Cyanogen all ready said he picked up a Slide and that CM6 is on the way for ten plus devices. Just be patient and they will come. (the ROMS) Bad field of dreams reference. I'm rolling and drunk, sorry.
Isn't Wes Garner porting over CM 6 for the Slide? I thought I read that somewhere, correct me if I'm wrong.
Hello. I'm very picky with my ROMS. I'm currently on KaosFroyo v23. I really like it but I really want my camera back as apps from the market tend to lag really really bad for me and I use my camera a lot. Here are my requirements:
1) Camera
2) No lag in dialer (AFAIK Sense ROMS do)
Not that much to ask for. I really want to go back down to 2.1 and I really want a Sense based ROM. Every sense based ROM I have tried so far has had major lag when dialing out and I can't have this.
Can someone suggest any ROMS that are 2.1 based, whether it be Sense based or not WITHOUT dialer lag. I would really like a ROM that have the softkey backlights working correctly as well.
If you find this thread useless or boring or stupid; I'm sorry. I'm very new to this.
This should be in general, not the dev section.
And why switch from Kaosfroyo? There have been teasers of the camera working that were posted yesterday

What's wrong with 3.1? I'm using and it's great.
i dont mean to say anything is wrong with it but its a beta and i havent tried it to give my opinion on how stable it is i just dont want to give someone a recommendation and have the beta be unstable or anything, but now that i hear it works..does it have flash like the 3.1 sense rom?
Sounds like you want froyo with camera.
Apparently KF will be getting full camera support and you can always just use camera magic. I have "camera" hidden from my app drawer with Launcherpro and it's just got camera magic there.

I enthusiastically also recommend xtrSense (current version is 3.1). It is THE BEST AND FASTEST Sense ROM you can get. The dialer lag is nearly gone. Be sure to overclock and turn on JIT. It's super fast and super stable. I get a score of 280 on quadrant when overclocked to 710Mhz. That is well above and beyond any other 2.1 Sense based ROM out there. It will easily go above a quadrant score of 300 if overclocked at or above 748Mhz.
It looks 100% identical to the official Verizon Sense ROM, but it's crazy fast.
Also even though this gets lower quadrant scores than the Froyo ROMs (they get around 400 usually), xtrSense actually feels faster. Froyo ROMs still have their issues so maybe they'll get that way eventually, but for now xtrSense is silky smooth (for an Eris running Sense anyway )

The OP said he really wanted a Sense based ROM. This is barely Sense. It has some Sense components left, but the good stuff has been ripped out (widgets, rosie, etc.).
Next time post it in the right place. You should check out fresh 3.5
This thread kind of comes off the wrong way
I don't usually reply like this but it seems silly to call your self picky when asking for help. I feel like users try to threaten devs by saying things like " If the camera works i'll stay on KF."
It doesnt seem to me that devs create these great roms because they are desperately seeking the acceptance of the masses. They make them because its a sweet hobby and if people really latch on thats a bonus.
I read for a long while before I had the stones to even post a question on this site. It would seem as though all the devs on XDA have gotten where they have the old fashioned way by research and trial and error.
If your going to bypass the research at least post in the right place and try not to come off like a spolied brat.
That being said - XTR sense or no sense is awesome and super stable.
I have found 0 issues with it - the only minor setback and its not just specific to XTR is that Pandora acts crazy with jit enabled but as far as I know thats across all jit enabled roms.
Best of luck in your android journey friend.

As far as I can tell he's not making any demands of any developer. He's telling us his concerns with the current ROM he's using and why he'd rather just switch to another one. He's not demanding that the developer fix the issues he's having.

Again, sorry I posted in wrong forum Mr. Perfect but I'm simply trying to find a good Rom, not trying to make any devs make me something special. Did you really have to vent off to me? Jeez. And me saying I'm picky was just me being humorous. No need to get butt hurt buddy.
I really think installing 6 different Roms counts as research. Thanks. =)

First things first...don't yell at me for creating this thread
Relatively new to android (I was an old school winmo guy for a long time *dcd!*) and now I wanna root my E3D and flash some other roms on it.
So the question is, what kinda roms do you all suggest? I love sense so any suggestions?
If you don't want to be yelled at...why not post in Q&A? This is a question right...
Anyway, Android Revolution HD is my favorite sense ROM now. MIUI is awesome if you want something radical, but is buggy. CM7 is good too but a bit buggy.

I've been using Deck's (kushdeck) sense rom for eons now. I've tried a bunch of other Sense roms, many of which were awesome, but a lot had some issues because they were nightlies or whatever. With deck's, I get unbelievable battery life in comparison to any other rom. It's a pretty standard sense rom, doesn't have much extra themeing, but it's extremely solid. (my nandroid of that rom is named KushSuperStable, lol).
If you don't wanna be yelled at, give your thread a legitimate name...

I'm gonna have to agree here that Deck's ROM is wickedly awesome, but it's sad that he's gone ghost.

Yea, it is sad that he's gone ghost. I hope everything's alright with him in 'real life' and that all is well. Hopefully when he has some more free time he comes back over here. At least the way he left the rom is perfect, I have not one complaint about it and see no need to update it.

AndroidRevolution is great. Stock, but with ALOT of enhancements as well as having one of the best development teams on XDA!
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The most stable I have used thus far have been clean rom, steel rom, and virus' eternity roms (builds 1.1, 1.2.2, and 1.4)....
Either one of those will be solid and reliable. Virus 1.4.2 rom seems very solid as well but I haven't made the jump yet simply bec#use I want to put this one through the long haul test... been on this rom and the bc kernel v3 for over two weeks, over clocked at 1.62 ghz with not one issue.
I would give eternity 1.4 a shot

Yeah GhostFaceKillah.
I use CleanRom its stock with bloatware removed and some other enhancements.
SteelRom is my absolute favorite Sense based rom. But nothing will ever beat the awesomeness of CM7
Lot of good suggestions in here, but when it really comes down to it you need to read up and just try stuff.. Doesnt take much to nand and try a rom for yourself.
Another thing that matters is what YOU use on your phone..
For example, someone said that MIUI is radical which is very true but its awesome once you get used to it and that its buggy.. but that may not be true for everyone because for me its flawless for what I use it for.. I dont have 4g in my area so I could care less about that, I dont use any hotspot apps so that doesnt matter for me as some are having issues with that. 3D doesnt work but honestly I barely ever use it anyways..
Although I wouldnt recommend MIUI as your first rom to flash because it does take some getting used to.. and you also mentioned that you like sense.
Eternity is one of my favorites and I used it for a while, its sense but has some cool features that make it different then stock sense.
Again its hard to say which are best because there are so many talented Devs around that are making awesome roms.. so get used to nanding and dive in..
another vote for Eternity Rom.
Ive been with Eternity for several weeks now. I flashed MIUI temporarily and didnt like it, back to Eternity.
I am currently on 1.4.1 and Ziggy dual core kernal. Great benchmark scores @ 1.7
1.8 seems unstable on some of the benches like cf and antutu. But I typically just keep it at stock CPU speed anyhow, so Im not worried about it.
Some people seem to have more issues than others. Some the screen locks up on them while charging, others it wont go to sleep, some people the screen wont wake up during an incoming call.
Myself I havent had any issues really. My facebook app seems to force close quite a bit whenever I try to post on someones wall. I would like to see that fixed, but as far as I know, no one else really has that issue. So it may just be something glitchy on my phone.
But yes. Definitely try Eternity. You wont regret.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, will definitely try out some of your suggestions!
Aside from the poor choice of thread title, we know nothing about the device. I guess I could've missed it skimming through all 2 pages. What Hboot is on the device? Figuring out which method to use and how far you'll be able to go is a good start. You should be checking out the root threads before asking about ROMs. Just a thought, not intended to be rude in any way.
Miui is the best rom hands down for looks and feel. And it gets better every week!

You were dcd? I remember you back in the ppcgeeks days, I am thinking around the mogul and touch pro days. Maybe you should get back into cooking roms like you used to.

I agree on Deck's ROM too, but because he has gone AWOL, I've switched over to CleanROM 2.7. It's just as reliable as Deck's ROM, battery life is almost as good, but you can OC and make it FLY while still retaining excellent battery life. And... it's more customizable than Deck's ROM.
I've run both Deck's ROM and CleanROM 2.7 long term and can recommend both. I'd give the edge to CleanROM though (there's a CleanROM Developer's Edition too).

hahaha- no! I'm not the great (almighty) dcd. Don't know where he is nowadays, I was simply referring to how I used to flash his things
