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?

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 *****.

Both are really good, synergy is going through a nightly process that's pretty fun to follow. They both have pretty good kernels and neither appears to have battery drain. If you're using an extended like I am you can expect about 36 hours with normal use, similar to froyo. If you're using the standard battery have a charger nearby The two roms aren't all that different, VIRUS and the BAMF team are both extremely talented. Flash them both, and take them for a test run. You'll likely ge 50 different opinions anyway
I suggest you download both and try them yourself.

The community reaches out with suggestions, but you are the user and naturally, have different preferences. Being a **** about people telling you to try each yourself is not going to get you personal opinions about the roms.
My advice for you? Flash the ****ing roms yourself and quit asking stupid questions.

edit: from my personal experience, I've been able to supercharge my battery by wrapping my phone in aluminum foil and putting it in the microwave for 2 minutes. I get about 10 more hours of battery life than a standard charge, but YMMV.

Hi douchebag, i'm giving the OP good advice and telling him he should try each rom to see which one HE likes best. No 2 phones are the same, meaning what works great for one person, might not work great for him. Therefore he should try them both for a couple days to see which one works best for him, and gives him the features he wants, not what other people tell him he should have. No where does he ask which one is better, but he wants better battery life, which won't be so much the function of the rom, but the kernel he chooses, uses 3g/4g, how much he uses the phone, how many calls are made, etc. So with him using the phone differently form everyone else (as we all do), telling him what works best for me, may not work best for him (is this finally getting through to you?)
Your analogy was pointless, are you going to get a car just cause someone says to get it, or are you going to test drive it to see if you really like it?

The best battery and performance I've found was Das BAMF Stripped, but I agree that you should flash each for a few days (only hours if you find one to run horrible) because different people do have different results.

Do yourself a favor and go lay on the railroad tracks.
....ANYway,
nmtuna, i would go with bamf 3.0 all day right now. i love their toolkit and for some reason I've been having trouble using nerozehl's dream kernel with Synergy (the dream kernels give me the best battery life). in terms of speed too i feel like bamf wins again. everything runs smoother than synergy's, though synergy may have the slight upper hand in terms of looks (clear drop down, 5 column app drawer, and among other relatively trivial things), but that can be easily fixed.

*IF* battery life is most important, I'd stick to a Froyo ROM. BAMF 1.8.6 is based off the MR2.5 leak. Fast as heck and very long battery life.
As far as the choice between the two listed above, and since you take offense to people suggesting you try both, I will just say <flips coin> Das BAMF Seose 3.0.
I've been on unnamed for a while and cognition before that. I came from Cognition on the Captivate, so it's obvious I prefer a mostly stock ROM. Both of these ROMs are no longer supported though, so gathering opinions on where to go. If anyone suggests something please say why. Thanks
ShoStock is still getting updates.
My favorite is villainrom 3.0 hellraised with the latest version of the siyah kernel
CyanogenMod is pretty nice, its my first non-stock rom. The only thing I miss is the stock Samsung alarm clock. Its worth a try for a day or two at least.

These kinds of thread are really a gray area for us.
On one hand, there is nothing wrong wanting to get user's opinions. For somebody who is unsure, getting experience from others about what is good and what is bad can be really useful.
On the other hand, you can't just ask "What is the best". For one, since there are different versions of android builds, no one can just say what the "best" is. For some people, the best can be the most bleeding edge build even with broken functionality. For others, they may value stability the most; and for even more, they may want a build with tons of extra features.
So, with that said - OP: i welcome you to rephrase your question, preferably about some specific ROMs that you might have in mind, as well as what your needs are. Otherwise, i will close this down per board rules..
If you know how to flash roms and you are comfortable with it then just try them. Thats the best advice any of us can really give you. Im on sensation rom and that is still alive and a great rom, but its really up to you. ShoStock is your best bet to stay stock though.
Every quit your *****in'
ANYWAY
I've stuck with ICScrewD and Siyah for the past several months keeping up with the updates and I've been pretty pleased with my battery life and performance. I also switch to Entropy's DD occasionally. It's all stable
Try some various ones out man. Like poster above said if you feel comfortable flashing then it can become trial and error. You'll eventually find the one that suits you

SHOstock, is pretty fast and stable, and it still getting updates,, CM7 is awesome but they never fix the issue with the video codecs for our phone so if you have a lot of videos taken with your stock OS you will have to delete those from you SD card.

In the ops defense, the other one appears to be more based on Android version,, however you are correct that people go on to discuss the actual ROM they're running.
As for the people quoting Miami, well maybe they're just growing tired of his condescending posts
Back on topic, currently I'm using turkbey v 32 and like it
Sammy rebuilds or cm7/miu hrmmm cm7/miui k thx =]
UnNamed 1.3.2 for me works great. Went to 2.2.1, but the battery life wasn't as good, i did dig the ICS touches. Does anyone know if flashing the KH7 modem on UnNamed 2.2.1 will fix the wifi drain?

Why do these stupid threads keep happening? No one can tell you what ROM to run but you. These threads get closed for a reason.

First and foremost I'm a HUGE Miami Dolphins fan...It's a shame that you're such a facist

These kinds of thread are really a gray area for us.
On one hand, there is nothing wrong wanting to get user's opinions. For somebody who is unsure, getting experience from others about what is good and what is bad can be really useful.
On the other hand, you can't just ask "What is the best". For one, since there are different versions of android builds, no one can just say what the "best" is. For some people, the best can be the most bleeding edge build even with broken functionality. For others, they may value stability the most; and for even more, they may want a build with tons of extra features.
So, with that said - OP: i welcome you to rephrase your question, preferably about some specific ROMs that you might have in mind, as well as what your needs are. Otherwise, i will close this down per board rules..

I apologize if I wasn't clear when I said "I prefer a stock experience". I use BT extensively in my car, so I was looking for a MOSTLY stock ROM with finctionality being a priority, would prefer to keep TW as well. Basically, something along the lines of COGNITION or UNNAMED, but, a ROM that keeps getting updates. I wasn't trying to cause problems, but, I really don't feel like going through the 5000 ROMS for this phone; I didn't think asking other users opinions was that bad. I did post in the GENERAL section. I hope that clears it up, if not, delete if you must.
i'm trying to flash my sister phone with a rom thats better the att JB rom winch is super slow. i tried CM10.1 which is buggy and keeps restarting and its through the battery like there is no tomorrow, also tried AOKP unofficial non OC rom, it also has some bugs like the screen flickering and it it a bit laggy and and the battery dies pretty quick.
So can you guys advise me on a rom that will be perfect for my sisters phone, thanks in advance.

First, this is the development forum and you should be posting in general or q&a. If you did that you would see there are so many threads with this exact same question. The same response would be, "please dont submit this type of question".
This has a tendancy to lead folk into pitting one persons work against anothers with harsh criticism.
This also tells me you are not reading. Any bugs you list are either already known about rom or are due to an unclean process of flashing.
My suggestion is decide what type of user your sister is and read up on some roms to see if the suit her needs. Every phone is going to run every rom with different degrees of success.
Make sure your process is clean and take some for a test drive. Let them settle for a day or two though to give it a fair chance.
Keep us posted.

Maybe a moderator could move it to the general threads. Please dont take my post harshly. I certainly would not be flashing anything for my sister, but maybe you get along better with yours. I just wouldnt want to be responsible for maintaining her phone if she is going to be finicky about something.
Just a heads up on the battery stats though.....the more recent your OS is, your battery life will dwindle. Even if she is the most moderate user, expect to charge every night. Your not going to get better life than anybody else.
But nobody in development will be able to help unless your flashing is as clean as you can.

Moved, and as "Best" can only be determined by the individual user, and as all the roms here are excellent and as XDA is not a support site - members are expected to make this decision on their own.
