Im looking for a new ROM for my Hero without sense.
It has to be fast, and everything has to work.
First of all. Wrong section. Moderators please move this thread.
Second, its called a Vanilla Rom, when it is just android
Third, its all a matter of testing and just finding one that fits you
Moderators Please move this thread!

There are few Vanilla Roms I can think of
Vanilla Eclair
EzHero
AndroBin
aHero
And CyanogenMod for Hero
That might not be all of them
/showthread.php?t=721551 (Sorry can't post links yet)
Check this post out, seems to detail many of the popular ROM's and their speediest features. (Broken down to Sense/Non Sense ROM's)
Superhero is also worth a look if you just want speed and compatibility, although it isn't pure vanilla aosp

Try helping yourself next time, this has been asked countless times before and usually gets a very similar answer (search), it is down to personal preference. Try them, try as many as you can. And it still worries my how many people fail to see that if you're going to ask a question the development section isn't the palce when there is a dedicated space for questions and answers...
villainrom 12 + launcher pro(set as default) + oc = power/stable/speed/daily.
is fully working... only got problem after what sh*t i done to it my call during BT to audio not working. no time to re-flash now due to daily usage...
is current the best rom right now i have tried(almost all rom in xda).
Go for VanillaEclair 4.0
Clean, fast, stable,... what else?
Link above in my signature.
And welcome in the vanilla on Hero world.
Moved as not Development.

I hope this thread does not get me booted off however ... What is the point of this ROM? It has been months and months and many other excellent ROMs are on the board and have been updated continuously with the latest goodies. Da_G and NRG deliver excellent ROMs all the time and yet the REP has yet to release one iteration. I vaguely recall before the thread was locked and purged, that this ROM will still be released at 6.1 although with the current timeline, maybe it will ultimately be released with 7.0. Just a question from a curious reader.
What is the purpose of this ROM? Well maybe just the diversity. So that you dont have to choose between Da_G and NRG only. If you like one of these, then use them. Others who have stayed with the Elite team from RC1 will surely flash RC5 just to see whats new and enjoy the style in which the ROM is created.
I dont quite understand why that particular rom gets stickied anyway but who am I to question the staff's judgement =x

it is pretty annoying, and rather elitist. Why do they think their rom deserves top priority attention? Don't get me wrong, elite RC3 was my first venture into flashing. But from what i've seen, the roms are well out of date compared to any of the others which see frequent updates.
Discussed, re-discussed and re-re-re-re.
Elite's team provided us with the HSPL, it was part of the Touch Pro Elite Project. Without HSPL, no ROM flashing, nothing.
Also they're work got slowed down by some personal issues for two of the members.
I personally stopped using Elite's ROM at around RC3. I also don't see whats the big deal abut it being stickied.
Thread will get closed soon, hopes this answer some questions.
Elite RC1 was my first ROM, currently chrome is my favorite, But I always prefer to have multiple options, stickied or not, keep up the good work!
I do think it's odd that there are now four and presumably five 'Release Candidates', as if what I've already installed hasn't been released. I'm not sure what happens when the team pick one to 'release'? Similarly, it's odd that a thread was setup to release a release candidate 10 days ago, but nothing has materialised and the thread is locked. Why not setup up the thread when the ROM is ready to be downloaded??
To be honest i dont understand what is the problem you see guys. Its just a forum topic. Stored somewhere on a disk drive, taking few Kilobytes of storage. Once again, if you dont want to flash any of the RCs, dont do it. Yes, its stickied, maybe other ROMs should be stickied as well, that wont probably change as soon. So just ignore the threads, if you dont wait for RC5 or dislike the Project as whole.
Again???
How often will this discussion surface?
Does someone have the idea that this is a democratic propoganda site and that the multitude of users determine whats on the menu?
No,.. it's the guys that have the possibility to make a thread sticky who determine this.
They run the show , like it or not.
Of course, in the effect they ignore all the good work done by others!
I take it as it comes. Elite project is not bringing me what I like. I like and use other ROM's instead. No need to nag about it.
Let's stick to the fact that everyone who is contributing to this site,... is in fact contributing! And thats what it's all about!

I do not agree with that statement one bit. First of all, you have to earn the moderator status. This status is given to people, who help and contribute the most to the community. Secondly, hardspl for Touch Pro was developed by a member of the Elite team. It is only thanks to this SW that we can flash our devices with any ROM we wish (it doesn't have to be Elite ROM). So there is definatelly a democracy here and the people behind Elite ROM have a great deal to do with it. If what you state were true and the the guys running this forum would really want to "ignore all the good work done by others", they would have had to act exactly the opposite way.
Who cares? If you're not a cook, it shouldn't bother you. Since this is THE place to get a good ROM, it shouldn't matter. Scroll past it and forget it... It should be mentioned that if you go through any of the RC# threads, it's discussed there. Search and find the answer, but I believe it's been mentioned here already...
Thread not related to ROM development and is starting to turn into a flame war.
P.S. If you have a problem with the actions of moderators either take it up with them in Private Message, or speak to the site administrator. Please don't air your dirty laundry in public.
Let's keep the focus on what's important - hacking phones to get the best out of them, and most inportantly, having fun .

I browsed through the development section and there is SO MUCH STUFF THERE. :/
Even if I read it all I would still not really get a good answer to my question:
What are the most popular, consistently maintained and stable ROM's out there that aren't heavily themed (I like AOSP or close, not MIUI)?
I've used CyanogenMod on my Nexus but it's still in experimental phase for SG2 and I don't really want to start off my new uberphone with broken stuff.
So far from what I've gathered is that Villainrom is at least consistently maintained, but their website is almost devoid of any information in regards to looks and features.
Batista70(?) also sounds like a relatively popular choice?
I realize this sounds like a completely idiotic question from someone that's too lazy to read, but honestly to answer this question you can't just read for a few hours, you need to have been around the community for a longer time to get the feel of everything.

You are correct if you want an honest opinion look yourself try them their are a billion users asking the same question with the same answer their is no best rom .
Why not start with the simplest rom that you understand what's on it and how to flash it .
Then work your way through others .
jje
Atm, i think the best roms (no one over the other, they all good the same)
Batista70 Foxhoud 2.0
Villainrom 3.0
Leomar 2.7
those are the roms i personally tested, and looks like also the most "used" by the community.
Im sorry if i didnt listed someone else rom, it's only because i didnt tested personally.
All the 3 are KI3 (2.3.5) based, so they may have few bugs/instability since 2.3.5 is less than 1 week old.
For the KH3 (2.3.4) every rom is very stable and works fine, i personally tested:
Cognition 1.5.1
Lite'ning 6.1
Checkrom v3
If you want a not perfect (few bugs) but totally different rom, i suggest you to try gangsterjoop Miui 1.9.23 or Galnet Miui 1.9.23

That was actually more a roll of the eyes to this type of question. It gets answers like yours (no offence meant) where people just tell you what they use. Not many people have done extensive testing of every single available ROM, but people still keep asking these lame questions.
Also 'best' is very personal, unless one gives certain criteria.
I agree I'm new here and the selection is daunting. I've HAD,
HTC Tattoo
HTC Desire
ZTE Blade
Moto Defy
HTC HD2
Sony X10
This phones section seems even bigger than the HD2 forum!
Ephumuris
the best rom out there with regarding battery life and looks is..................
the one that will suit your needs and that YOU have to find out and experiment buddy.
its all good for us to tell you which one is good but unless you dont try for yourself you wont know..
but if you want a choice i recommend VillainRom or Batista two that i use back and forth or even CheckRom
but whatever you do make sure you read through each roms thread and take it from there...happy flashing
Hi all,
I can say that definitely something bad is happening to this part of SGS2 topic (original development). I log everyday, waiting for some ROMs to test, but there are none!
If you check the index thread, it was updated on 22 March (almost 2 months ago).
Also, since ICS was rolled out for SGS2, there are dozens of AOSP/AOKP ROMs in [Android development], but in [Original anroid development] there is only:
21-Mar-12----Batista70 FOXHOUND EDITION 0.3----Views: 1,400,000
I really hope that not all of the developers have moved to other devices or to AOSP/AOKP, but it looks like that's the case.
Anyone has any idea what's going on? Summer is still far away...
Well, just looking through the first page, I saw:
FoxHound ROM;
HyperDroid ROM;
Slim ROM;
Clean Blank ROM;
CheckROM
Not sure what your on about. If your not content with this sub-section, try the Android Development Section, plenty to flash there.
Chris.
The guy who started the "[INDEX]" threads in both the Original Development and the Development forums hasn't been updating his threads.
That doesn't mean development hasn't continued though.
It was nice of the guy to build index threads, but given he's not really updating them, it may end up causing more confusion like this, unfortunately.

There are only one or two sammy ICS ROMs. People are waiting since ICS rollout for checkrom ICS and others as well...
I'm not fun of AOSP so Android Development section is not an option for me.
Cheers!

have you even looked in there???
It isnt only aosp roms in there
first you got to understand the difference between android deveopment and orignal android development and you will understand why there is no big activity.
Well devs owe us no favours its up to them as to what and when they build a rom .
Usually find someone donates them a new model and they move on or they get sick and tired of the whiners and stupid repetitive questions and move on .
Solution for the OP big donation to a dev .

As far I can understood there is a plenty to choose from... Now u can even dual boot 2 ICS rom-s so there is a lot of options. To develop originally something demands time so patience would be welcome...
Hi all
I have an I9100 and I would like to change the ROM with a cooked one, this my first time
I just want to go on with Open Source and faster operating system without all the Google and Samsung Apps
I will go on with the Gmail account but a little bit lighter
I'm not sure about wich ROM to choose
Can you please just indicate me a general ROM?
Thank you very much in advcance for reply to this newbie question
This Q is a no - no.
Check the development forum, pick 3 or 4 ROMs, try them out and then get back here and tell us what you thought.
(actually, this thread will be closed by then).

Gaston,why would be this thread closed?He asked what ROM to use as a base,not which is the best.He asked about Sammy based,Cm based,AOKP based ROMs.(These are the most common ROM bases).
hey mate first of all i wanna say to you welcome to our community
and second one :
we have a lot of custom roms that you can try like :
- NeatROM
- wanamlite
- CSR
- AND etc.
These are based on stock roms from Sammy
- ParanoidAndroid
- Rootbox
- ThinkingBridge
- And few others you have just to look for the one that looks good for you
Oh and this ones are based on pure android from Google
And next time please look at few roms before posting threads like this
Have a G'day
Because people will moan at the littlest thing on here and talk to there mate the mod and have it closed. Don't you see this ALL THE TIME on here. We do. And no he didn't ask about stock cm aokp based roms he asked about cooked roms. Gas Ent being funny he just knows what will happen to this thread :thumbup:

if I were to ask you for a ROM I should try, you really think you would suggest me other than your ROM of choice?
What ROM are you on?
Why are you on that?
Who suggested you to try it?
Don't mind answering, i'm just gonna say it sucks.
I don't like custom, so here's my biased opinion.
Bias opinion are against xda rules; last time I checked we were free to choose what WE like NOT what OTHERS say.
If the OP wants to know where to kick off he needs to go to development forum and check ROMs out.

Reported. Not really interested if some people are too stupid to understand why these threads are nada (You know who you are). These people clearly have no comprehension of how much work it is to administer a place like this. We should be making this job easier (I.E not posting mindless crap) for the people who do administer the place.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
I want to try a new rom for my phone cause i got bored of CMD10 what rom do you guys recommend to me i want it to be stable and fast
There's hardly anyone reading this forum. They have moved on to other phones. But read the currently and recently active threads in the development forum to see what's available, and get clues as to what is good.

thanks i remember talking to you about this like a year ago and you recommended me ShoStock 3 is that rom good or there betters??
Also i read the cyanide thread and looks pretty good what do you think its better i want the opinion of a that has more knowledge in this than me
Do you want Touchwiz or AOSP? If you want touchwiz, then I would recommend either Cooked or SHOstock3, as either one of those is stable. I'm not familiar with AOSP having barely ever used it, so I can't make any suggestions there. Read the threads, as I suggested, and maybe post your questions in those threads.
