[Q] Best Custom ROM - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I am looking for a very fast and stable Custom ROM and i really can´t decide wich one to choose. Please tell me what do u think and what do u use for ur own???
I used to have this one SLIDEVILLAIN 1.1.0 RC but it was not possilble to calibrate the G-Sensor.
Sorry for my bad english

The question is, what do you want or like, you want sense? or vanilla, then 2.1 or 2.2. I use Floyo 2.2, for the stability and speed. But its up to you, just try some, not a problem to flash more then once on your phone

i would like to have the 2.2. i dunno what the vanilla looks like. i am not afraid of something diffrent then sense ok 1 point vor floyo 2.2 sofar =)
but i am a little lazy to check all the custom roms
is this Floyo 1.01 based on android 2.2 ?

tra a few roms out for yourselve and then tell us which one is the best

No custom rom has this option afaik... Its cuz the devs dont believe us and tell us to rotate the phone in crazy directions to reset the sensor.... (like that ever worked)....
Anyway there is a manual way to do it. First you need to find your values takes about 3-15 mins. Then always when reflashing changing to those values (1min)
You wont do it so many times so there is no problem. (am lazy to find you the guide , use search)

You want a 2.2? How about a 2.2.1? Sinpkrs- cronos froyo 1.4.2

When you find an answer,, PLEASE PM ME AND LET ME KNOW !!!!!....
haha okay...theres sooo many threads...i cant seem to find one i like...
i mean first theres one with 2.1 then it has a whole lot of bugs...i cant make up my mind!!!
i think sensehero is the best.it is 1.5,i have been using it for a few days now and it's amazing!fast,stable and it looks great!you can find it here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637064
but i think that developer has it's own forum now so you have to download it from there!
but its 1.5...isnt 2.1 the latest and greatest and fastest ??
yeah it is,but developers are still waiting for the official hero 2.1 rom that should be out in a few days now...i tried most of the 2.1 roms and none of them has everything you would want...so you should be patient for a few days more till the REAL thing comes out...
thats bad. i thout 2.1 was released fr htc hero!! whats the delay?
i don't know..i think the next date for release is april 16th..we have to wait and see..
Mr Bang 1.5
I am not willing to try the 2.1 out there yet

why not ?????
If you want a 1.5 based rom personally I like modaco... sensehero is pretty much the same thing but I dont like the blue colour much...
If you are looking for a 2.1 based for me I have found the Villain SprintHero port rom to be the best and fastest overall ...
between that category the competition would be between Villain Sprint and BeLegendary 1.3.5...
i see...and what if i flash my hero with the cyanogen 5.0 rom thats designd fr the nexus one?? will it work of will i brick my fone??
Just don't do it. It won't work.
If you want a ROM similar to the Nexus One, try Androbin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651103
If you're looking for a decent 2.1 rom, try VillainRom. I use it and have no complaints so far.
It's not as stable as some ROMs, but it's pretty fast and has great features. Having said that, a lot of people use HeroDroid as it's far more stable apparently, but doesn't have things like Live Wallpapers. I have had no issues with VillainRom, however.

Judging by this and a couple of other posts he wants something similar to the Nexus ROM, ie. Vanilla 2.1
+1 villain port Sprint,having no problems with it at all!

does the modaco rom have the same problem ??
If you want a beautiful, fast, and stable ROM, try the SenseHero (I always restore it after trying any 2.1)
If you want features: Villain 5.x or Legendroid ; )

[Q] How to install Cyanogen CM7.0 RC2 v011 Gingerbread 2.3.3

I'm looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911364 and cannot work out if I've downloaded the correct file from the 2nd post or what to do with the rar once I've unpacked it?
I've already had a play with z's free x10 b3 & b4 & wolfbreaks CM6.1.3 v05, and I'm up to speed on flashing baseband via flashtool, so I'm not totally new to his, but I downloaded from the third link in the 2nd post and extracted but cannot find a zip file to use with xrecovery.
Is this ROM installed differently? Am I doing something wrong?
Any help woud be greatly appreciated!
look for: Update.zip
When you extract the .rar file there shoiuld be a file called update.zip. This is the file you can use from within xRecovery.
But why should you use v10. v11 is out and some of us experience less WLOD's.
v11 works for me, also with update.zip.
Good luck!
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go at some point this week.

ei,
Haven't done it myself yet but the instructions provided by geppie sound sound like they would work. Which bit you struggling with?

I'm on the newest version 2.2.1 from Cyanogen right now.
Whats the different with this one?
I mean not the differents between 2.2 and 2.3 but: what is working already in 2.3?
There are camera issues. The camera app isn't working which means that you will not be able to take images.
You will experience random system reboots.
Basically for me 2.2 froyo rom us more stable than cm7

Thanks for the info.
I will wait till the 2.3.3 version is more stable.
Having done a bit more reading I think I'll stick with CM6 based ROM's for now, let CM7 become a little bit more stable!
Hopefully it'll be before SE release the 2.3 update
Knowing our devs it definitely will be : )
Yeah, I'm fairly new to these boards but I've been pleasantly surprised by the speed of new releases and updates for the ROM's that I've been using.
I'm still in the procss of trying to decide which ROM is best for me, so I'm having to go through constant reinstalls of all my apps and so on which is a nuisance but worth it for the improved speed & functionality!
psx you should use "my backup root" for all your apps so you dont constantly reinstall them.

[Q] Best rom for HTC HERO!

Hy everybody. I just bought a Htc Hero and I`m wondering wich is the best rom to put on it? thanks
It depends what you're looking for really.
VillainROM 13 is like stock, has HTC Sense, but quick, like very quick!
My personal favourite is RCMix 2.2. It is a Sense ROM but has a few nice visual tweaks.
And there's Cyanogen. They've recently dropped support for the Hero, but the nightly releases aren't too bad.
Basically just try as many as possible and see how you get on with them.
I would like to know which one is the most stable, without any bugs, fastest etc.
I have installed Villainrom v13. It's really fast, but I think there is a bug, because my battery drains empty in 6-12 hours, when on my original ROM it held for 24-30 hours.
Hi
Hello I am wondering the same thing. I have installed a 2.3 version and I am not that happy although some things are better everytime I go to the home screen it has to load which never happened with my stock 2.1 Orange rom.
Anyone can recommend a ver stable and fast rom would be much appreciated?

Hi! I looked into the VillainROM 13 but its only Android 2.1 I really need 2.2 for app2sd and also sharepoint. Do you have a link to the other roms you recommended? And are they easy to install with rom manager and the recovery software that comeswith that?
Thanks mate
Yes, we are newbees on Android and we need your opinions.I have now on my phone Android version 2.3.2, tasty version gingerbread 2.0, kernel version 2.6.29.6-RaKern-200 [email protected] #14, Baseband version 63.18.55.06pu_6.35.15.11. IS THIS A GOOD ROM? What are his advantages and disadvantages? Thanks everybody in advance & sorry for my bad english
I've tried a few ROM's. I've got backups of Villain13, Elelinux 7, and Floyo.
At the moment, for daily use I'm on Floyo 1.2. I have been using Elelinux, and in general it's a nice ROM but the black screen bug that you have probably heard about is rather annoying. Hopefully with the discussions between Erasmux and Elelinux they will come up with an idea to get Cyanogen Hero dev back under-way.
But for day-to-day use I'd go Floyo 1.2. You can flash a gingerbread theme if you really have to. I find its rock solid and the kernel can be overclocked via flashing.
Also, Apps2SD is supported (old fashioned style). If you have a fast SD card, why bother with the Google version?
Good luck, and if there is any help I can offer....
Tbh if you want a fast stable driver, that you'll use daily then i'd use VR13. Froyo and Gingerbread have never been officially released for Hero so using Rom's based on these android versions means you will encounter a few bugs and some lag. If you really need App2SD then you could use dark tremor's script which will install it for you. I'm gonna post up my own 2.1 rom which will have App2SD enabled if you wanna try it. But from experience of nearly every hero rom available on xda, VR13 is the best.
Thanks JieHD, could you plese tell me were I can foun this rom, and a quick guide to intall it om my Hero? Thanks in advance
TBH i've never had lag on Floyo, or any other problem for that matter. The only thing is you don't get the HTC add-ons.
VR13 is good, but I do miss Friendstream. Been using the one out of Launcher Pro.... Each to their own.....
My advice, flash one, try it for a while. Do a full backup in Rom Manager. Then flash another.... But beware, you will become addicted to flashing (ROM's that is).
As I said earlier, I keep a few on my SD card. So easy to restore in Rom Manager...
Anybody could tell me how to install a new rom on my Hero and how to get rid of the old one?

should be up soon, to install:
1. Boot into rcovery
2. wipe data
3. wipe cache ( if you use it )
4. wipe dalvik-cache ( this is in advanced options if you use cwm )
5. install rom from sd card
6. reboot, should take about minutes
As a side note, just for a nicer user experience -- download spare parts+ frm market and set windows animation to fast and transition animations to fast. and tick fancy input animations
I will lose my apps and data on my phone? How can I backup them?
use titanium backup from the market
If you tried out my rom, tell me what you think

i was tested a lot of roms and finally my favourite rom is VILLAINROM V.13 because is soo STABLE (IMPORTANT),works fast...,and the most important for me: has sense widgets for drain battery i´m ussing flykernel 12a with O/C, SETCPU at 514 mhz conservative.(battery drains empty in 24 hours more or less)...
if there was some froyo rom with sense and working camera It would be brilliant because chocolate froyo for example works well

Tried it this morning, was nice a smooth, just the icons were not to my taste, if I get some spare time over the weekend I'll knock up an alternative framework, being elderly I find the circle battery meters hard to read when they have numbers in the middle, or that could just be this mornings hangover

Next time use search functions on forums before posting like these.
There are threads regarding multitouch development. As of now we don't have this feature yet.
When playing angry birds, I don't use two fingers to play. I can play with single touch with no problems though lol.
Overclocking, use ROMs developed neither by owain94, slade 87, D4rKn3sSyS. Not all custom ROMs have major bugs. The said developers created custom ROMs we can use daily.
or once again use the search function to search on how you can overclock your phone without installing custom ROMs.
Lastly, don't forget those people who created ROMs that you will be using

I'm just telling no need to say sorry lol. I'm just a regular user of their custom ROM too lol. XD
Hmm. Before we customize our ROM we need to know first what's the requirements. What ROMS did you use? And what are your kernel version, android version and build number? You said you're on stock ROMs at the moment right? please do correct me if I'm wrong. xD
ok man thats clear
i followed the instruction every once i install rom i tried
MiniCM6-1.0.0
xCyanogenMini 7
and others i didnt remeber
but alway have so many reboots
i have now
2.1 update 1
m76xx-tsncjolym-53404015
2.1.1.a.0.6
hmm call me noob but uhh, your phone's a mini pro?
MiniCM6-1.0.0
I think the problem is that you are using ROMs which is only made for xperia mini. That's why you're getting a lot of bugs.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Currently I use slades87 work, and its xCyanogen6 for mini pro. It works perfectly for me. Why won't you try that? The infos you gave me suited it actually.
no sir my phone is x10 mini not pro
what's are the exact problems that you are experiencing?
did you do a factory reset before installing the rom?
-factory reset
-wipe stats wipe dalvik-cache
-wipe cache
then try installing custom rom.
do you still have xrecovery installed?
open the zip file of your rom you want to flash with winrar
browse to /system/lib/modules/
highlight x8oc.ko and hit delete
copy zip to your sd again
reflash
be happy
Why need to do this??
Can I do in running room?

This is only if you have reboots, cuz if you have still reboots on froyo rom, you SHOULD delete overclock module !
x8oc.ko - this module can overclocks Your phone. Overclocking means that it's CPU runs faster than it is for. It is working for someones and do not work for others (!). Could bring dangerous unstableness, reboots.
Wise advice to delete it, but I can't understand why overclock a modROM by default? (if this is the case)

i've installed a few roms for my mini pro, they came with the max clock at 600mhz, only the overclocked version of slade87 MiniCM came with the max clock at 710 mhz. i don't know any rom for mini (not pro), but i think it should be similar

Creating my own rom.

I have been very adventurous to have rooted my HTC Legend and been using Blay0 rom since then. But since B 0.8.4, it was been all bugs for me and my pc manage to corrupt my b 0.7.zip.
If anyone of you out there still have b 0.7, i would be glad if you could email it to me.
That said, i am thinking of just doing one rom for myself. I am thinking of just taking a stock Froyo and adding a2sd to it and maybe some other feature i can find online. How would i begin? I mean like, can i just take the stock rom from HTC and add darktremor a2sd into it?
EDIT: was just searching around the forum and i came up to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Is that enough for me to do what i want to do?
Yes if you use dsixda kitchen you can do all that, But why?? Blayo's is so good and has all the tweaks one would need!? I had the same plan and created a 2.2 Espresso ROM but never released it as blayo's is soo good!
Anyway if you want to use something as a base then i have the latest Legend update rooted in update.zip format HERE feel free to use and abuse
Hi, i love blayo rom so so much but since i upgrade to 0.8.4, it has been unstable for me. And so happened my b 0.7.zip got corrupted and i couldn't downgrade. Now i'm on the stock froyo without any tweaks but i'm still missing blayo 0.7 rom with trackball awake cpu tweaks and so on...
Hey buddy,here is a link for b-0.7. I had same issues with 0.8 so i'm using 0.7.

OMG! I'm so glad u have it! Thanks mate, thanks so much. Yeah b 0.8 has issues for me... even 0.8.4... After using the rom awhile, when ever i long press the lock button for the menu, it restarts my phone. Therefore the only way to OFF my phone is to remove the battery.
