Hey there I'm new to android coming from iOS. Ive been trying new roms but they havent been working that smoothly for me. Wondering if theres a rom that is very close to official 2.1 but rooted
currently running froydvillain 1.5, overclocked to 652mhz (for some reason I remember my unrooted 1.5 my hero came with to be more stable)
BTW what is RUU is there a terms thread for nubs?
RUU is a Rom Update Utility. Its an executable made by HTC to flash new roms for people who don't have root/a recovery image.
As far as stock roms go, it depends which "stock" you want. Froyd is a vanilla 2.2 rom. 2.2 hasn't officially been released for our hero, so its a little bit buggy. Cudos to the developers though, I use froyd as an every day rom, doesn't give me any gip.
Anyway, 2.1 was officially released for us by HTC, and I would heartily recommend vanillaeclair 4 for your vanilla 2.1 needs.
Sense is the HTC GUI for the hero and us "stock" as far as the hero is concerned. Chocolateeclair is made by the same Guy as vanillaeclair, but I dislike sense, so I can't really recommend any good sense roms.

Villain rom 12 if you want a no frills 100% 2.1 rom everything works.
If you want to use 2.2 i am using froydvillain 1.5 all working well but a bit heavy on the battery apart from that working lovely here.
use rcmix, it's the best 2.1 rom imo.

Hello everyone i am new to this fourm and just rooted my phone and i just wanted to ask a quick question of what is currently the smoothest rom?
I am also interested in some information about this.. I'm currently running the newest Villain, and it's annoyingly slow, though I don't know if this is Villain specific or what.

Yeah the Modaco ROM's are generally considered to be one of the most stable and smoothest around,... It was the first ROM I tried on mine 2 weeks ago, haven't felt the need to change. Now just waiting on Modaco 4.0 which will be released when there is an official 2.1 release for him to work his magic on. Definitely give it a try. But I also recommend you try some others. Its pretty simple to swap and change ROM's once you have installed the custom recovery console, only extreme laziness has kept me from giving others a try.

FOR SPEED, STABLE-NESS AND BEAUTY USE SENSEHERO ROM
its base on MCR(ModaCoRom) 3.1 or 3.2 not so sure but it's base on ModaCo which is for speed and stable-ness
and for beauty he used manup's SenseHero Theme..
worth a try..
MrBangCR concept Rom 2.0 (i think)
Fast, smooth, great performance. He used modaco as a base but made some important changes for performance
This may sound silly, but a poorly programmed camera app that I really love (Retro Camera) can't produce high res images on my rooted Hero (running basic 2.1 for Hero), as evidently the OS is using so much memory not enough is left for the app to render the photo twice (like I said, it's pretty godawful code on their part).
But, I like the images it produces enough that I'm considering rolling back to 1.5 to see if that works (pretty sure it used to do high res for me before I rooted and upgraded).
I was hoping for some recommendations of fast, stable, low-ish memory use 1.5 ROMs. Or is there a way for me to just roll back to standard 1.5 without overwriting the rooting in case I decide speed and features are indeed more important than pretty pictures?
Just flash the 1.5 rom image using your custom recovery. Use the standard wipe options.
MoDaCo had a pretty well respected 1.5 rom. Look for a final of that if I were you. The others had so many tweaks you had no idea what you were getting, very hit and miss.
Have you tried Vanilla 2.1 builds? I would recommend trying them first as 1.5 had worse memory management IIRC.
Thank you. I'll try a Vanilla 2.1 ROM first, that sounds like a better solution if it works.
You tried a Froyo build? They're vanilla, but I dunno how much RAM is needed, so can't comment...
Haven't tried a Froyo ROM yet, but no luck with VanillaEclair or the latest 2.1version of Cyanogen that I could find. I've found several Sprint Hero users with unroofed phones running 2.1 and getting high res to work. I suppose it could be the hardware, pretty frustrating.
Try Modaco 3.2 along with the lightspeed kernel from here somewhere. I think I kept that setup for 2 - 3 months without feeling the need to flash anything else,....

Can't go wrong with Modaco 3.2.
Do you want Sense or Vanilla?

Definitely Vanilla. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it over Sense.
Thanks so much to all of you for your help.

AFAIK (I only got my Hero in May so that's when I came to XDA since it was my first smartphone) but no Donut ROM was ever completed (I could be wrong, I am not sure) but there is a partially completed one.

You can either use the rom in the link i posted previously.. although it is a bit unstable sometimes. or you can flash this one here:

Willain 12Rom is also good, i use a long time, but yet the Tegro 2.4.1 is my favorite rom...
ok, so I'm a noob.. I just rooted and flashed a phone for the first time less than a week ago, and have been using Android for about 8 months.. I just started using the newest CM7 Bravo nightly (Bravo 11) which uses 2.3.3. I am dying for Sense (was using 2.2 before), but it seems NO ONE has cooked a Gingerbread + Sense ROM.
I'm really looking for Gingerbread + Sense's news, weather, favorites widgets, as well as the google apps, with Launcherpro and Honeycomb Theme.
Pretty much, I want to make a ROM that's CM7 2.3.3 + HTC Sense 2.0 (and updatable like CM7 of course.. the easiest thing would be to create a zip file which can be hosted on the sd card for each time i update my CM7 nightly, but a better choice would be making my own ROM so I control everything.
Am I crazy to think I can do this alone? Haha! Thanks everyone in advance for your help!

well, sense cannot be extracted from a sense rom and placed onto gingerbread, so youll have to wait untill the wildfires s ruu is ported to your device(as only wildfire s will have gingerbread and htc sense as stock) or any other device that has both sense and 2.3.3 already loaded onto it(which none do atm).
hrm.. any idea how long that will take?? haha... and why can Sense not be extracted from the stock HTC Froyo ROM??

well,depending on who will take on the challenge to port it, and sense cannot be extracted , and if you do somehow get it over to gingerbread, sense will never run(FC's up the ass).
Whats the best rom for my LG Optimus One (P500h) ?
2.2.2 stock room with root. Since the beginning I always was using custom roms, but this is my personal opinion in the past few months I prefer the stock room with root, which I can make any tweak I want, and doesn't have battery drain and bugs that some custom rooms have.
And cause many of the custom rooms are based in 2.2, and 2.2.1+ had some updates that repaired VPN that I use a lot. I couldn't be more happy with it, cause it gives me a lot of experience messing with android too.
There is no best ROM. You choose what suites you. Now, if I were to tell you that the best ROM for me is Light, would you choose it too? It doesn't come with Darktremor, so no one else except non-Darktremor users use it.
Point is, look at what the ROMs bring. Choose according to what you need or what you don't need.
However, if you want something widely used by the people here, use void/devoid or LOL or Megatron or Prime or the other ROMs with popular threads on the Dev subforum
I use the stock Rom rooted with a overclocking kernal
Very fast.
Andy's 2.3.2 Gingerbread
LOL v1.2 with fixed Kernel

I downloaded the official rom from lg website to my country and decompress it, and with this kitchen added root, and left the rest untouched.
pedroh: how can we tell version is the original ROM on LG website? Can you also share the instruction on how to install the kitchen? I am using v10c (2.2) firmware.
I do not have the links anymore, but I know how to do it, but google it is similar procedure as making your own rom.
if u stay on 2.2 use Void echo, if 2.2.2 is ur choice the u can flash Nessy.. its a good ROM . however i am using 2.3.3 andy gingerbread... though its in developing stage but i am quite happy with some bugs in it...
I'm using Optimus X rom, it has the best performance for the limited CPU frequency on the LG p500, but with a good kernel you can eeek out a extra 170MHz - 206 MHz out of the processor.
I'm running the rooted stock Froyo 2.2 and Mik's mutlitouch kernal overclocked.
I'm using my Nessy ROM!
