Hey
Can anybody recommend a stable and fast vanilla 2.1 ROM for the Hero?
I've tried Vanillain but found it to be quite laggy and FC'ing.
If not, can anybody suggest any 2.1 ROM I can use and just disable SenseUI?
Thanks
kie.
Im in search for this also. Currently using latest ahero but im not satisfied. Best vanilla rom I've tried is aychteesee but that's 1.5 it is fast as hell. Every 2.1 rom i tried is laggy as hell.

Exactly the same for me,,, I like Vanilla but agree, the 1.5 makes it not an option for me.... please can someone help us ??????
I'm sure we'll see some good vanilla 2.1 ROMs once HTC releases the 2.1 kernel source. Of course, that could take forever.
To be honest, the best "workaround" I have found is to use a 2.1 ROM and disable Sense UI.
I have been using Legendary recently using this method, the battery life is second best to any other ROM I have tried but it is very laggy and annoying to use. I find that AutoKiller shows a lot of processes running which can be stopped. This does speed the handset up alot, but say you close the People application, then open it again, it takes a while to show contacts.
I am literally going back to SenseHero 1.6 as we speak because 2.1 ROMs arn't great at the moment, and I will be disabling SenseUI, seems to use alot of resources and slows the phone down a bit.
For people who want to disable SenseUI...
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > SenseUI and click Clear Defaults. Press the Home button and then choose Home (you can also tick the box to use Home as the default Launcher)
BTW, I am quite new to android so any other advice would be cool, like what can actually be done with a rooted handset? I have failed to see any benefits yet (apart from an unlock)...

The best 2.1. IMO is Villain 3.4
As mentioned I've disabled sense and installed helix launcher.... I've tried all the roms, but 3.4 gives me the speed I need and most important, everything works.
The absolut very best rom is "SenseHero2.1" from "Stickman" (or try the 1.6 version, also still available)
its: FAST, STABLE, GOOD LOOKING, and WORKS!

I have to agree that this rom is very veruy good,.... only problem is the vanilla lockscreen
Every ROM on 2.1 i tried is very slow compared to the fastest 1.5 there is like aychteesee. And disabling sense is only changing the homescreen i like vanilla everywhere
Personally, I use Fresh 2.0d rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643034
My advice is to update your recovery console to RA 1.6.2 (check version for your phone first at the site) .. found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
Once you're RA is up to date, use the utiilities in the RA console to do a nandroid back up of your o/s, then wipe system and existing partition, repartition your sd card and convert ext2 to ext3. It will only take a minute to do all of that.. its really easy. Then flash Fresh rom and check his site for standard sprint apps if you want to install them. The rom has auto a2sd if you're interested in having your apps stored and run from your sd card. It didnt work on mine until I went into the recovery and manually flashed the as2d program using Darktremor A2sd 2.6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087
After that, it worked great (at least for me it did). Pretty much everything works on the rom with the exception of live wallpaper, you can add it but then the weather animations wont work so its one or the other based on what you prefer. They have a fix for the lock screen as well but it has 3 different options based on alarm preferences. Other than that, I found it to be fast, functional and fun. Definitely better than any other rom I've used so far and about the closest you'll get right now to anything resembling an official 2.1 rom. Just remember to make that nandroid backup of your o/s before you do anything in case you don't like the rom (which I doubt will happen).
Best of luck guys!
another vote for fresh 2.0d, ran so much faster than the sprint 1.5 i had even after i removed all the bloatware.
I have ported miui from a nexus device

I have a beta build (mod) of rodriguez style miuimajority of files.

1.Download the rom and install using xrecovery. You must have the 5X baseband kernel to use this rom. Make sure you wipe data, cache, Dalvick and battery before flashing. After installing as custom zip in xrecovery, the phone will reboot several times before becoming stable. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER ZIPS OR PACKAGES UNTIL IT HAS COMPLETELY SET UP AFTER THE FEW REBOOTS.
2. Download and install via xrecovery -

refreshin page, to see changes about whats workin and not xD
and good to see a new dev joined the club
Cant wait to see this,
Asking the obvious question here : any luck with HD Recording of the camera?
That's the only thing that's keeping me from using any of these custom ROM's on a permanent basis.
What version of Cyanogen are you using?
give me about an hour to upload it, try it out... this is Alpha and I haven't really tried everything to see what works yet... it boots, has audio, camera, regular calls. trying one last thing because the settings fc... then will upload
Looking forward to it!!!

So you upload the update.zip but can you tell us what's working or not?
Can someone throw some screen shots up ?
haven,t really tested it a lot so can't do a work log other than data is not working (can't get into settings to change it), not sure about gps, wifi. Audio works, regular calling, text messeging. all of the cyanogen menus worked. camera works.
Dear all,
as I think owain is rather busy with the honeycomb experiences (at least that's what I would do in his place), I created a ROM from 3.2.0, 3.2.1 and MiniCM-1.0.0-Beta1 (6.1) ROMS to provide some updates.
This is for the MINI PRO for certain (honestly I didn't look into the differences on the file level and try to create something for the mini aswell).
Also worth to note, I have no experience in Android development at all, but has 10+ years of dev experience, so this helped somewhat.
(Owain, if you read this I hope this doesn't belong to what you wrote in 00banner, just wanted to help a little).
Contents:
- Everything up to 3.2.1 from owain
- Detect ext3/4 partitions and mount as such - from nobodyAtall (should be ok now)
- 2.3.3 market - from nobodyAtall, no forced closes (TESTED)
- Ubuntu fonts for readability (credits go to the original author)
- sysctl tweaks (by anon67)
- Tried to fixed the FM radio, but it's a FC for me after the initial screen appears and bluetooth is switched on... - based on owain & nobodyAtall's work
- put back ADW Launcher (as in 3.1)
It still suffers from 'SD blabla' and reboot, if you disconnect from VPN, close root explorer, etc. - generally if you mess around with something that is related to rooting or root rights; couldn't find the root cause with no experience, sorry. Otherwise it's stability is like the previous ones (did not test much, but should be).
Installation with xRecovery, standard procedure (see owain's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961783)
The rom is here (updated, fixed somewhat): http://rapidshare.com/files/451337572/cyan321b_fixed.zip
I also fixed the honeycomb theme which is here: http://rapidshare.com/files/451243627/honeycomb_fixed.zip
Credits should all go the original authors and owners.
Some things worth to note maybe (described 1000x times already, but):
- Switch GPS off, if you don't need it (it is on by default)
- Long press any text input field and select 'Android keyboard' for input method, if you cannot type uppercase
- Press BLUE+Sym and space for special characters
- etc.
Thanks a lot,
arch
But...
Maybe also worth noting that as a novice I might made some errors that has the effect that something won't work that worked before... so use it at your own risk.
Thanks, arch
LaunchPro force close
Thanks a ****ing lot mate!
Will post this in original thread when im home also credits to you ofc
I didn't really got much time for it really busy on HoneyComb GingerBread and MIUI
And this isn't what mike and i meant in the 00banner
Just that people dont install the rom on other devices
As you saw (i'm pretty sure you did read the script) it wont even work on a other devices lol
Again thanks alot
Owain

Hey Owain,
don't trust me so much, I think it's a lot better to check what nobodyAtall did in the last days and not look into this one... It's just some homebrew stuff, that is maybe useful for others.
Good luck with all the thousand ROMs you develop! Don't forget to finish one of those
Thanks again, good luck,
arch

Hey mate, using a Mini pro? Tried a factory reset? Which ROM did you had previously?

Just checked it, downloading fine for me... Could you please retry?
Thanks for responding, tried another couple of times. Miren, skyfire and stock, as android, chrome and iphone ids. Not to worry will try again when the desktops running in a few days
Just downloaded a 101 MB file.
Downloading fine here.
Thanks !
Good to see that atleast someone incorporated the sysctl tweaks (it was honestly not mine , but i figured out the configs which is required , if you have sysctl in the init , then you dont need the app but only the configs).
I got a bit confused (please dont scold me ;-) ) , how is this ROM different from the one owain has posted ? I think FM still does FC on this one ? Please help me understand.
And yes , one more system app which i came about in this XDA forum itself (and in market) . although in beta state is SuperPower (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807989). I am yet to try it out (did try it out on the Gingerbread ROM - CM7 ) but had issues in it. Did not try it out on CM 6 ROM.
Thanks again !
Edit : OK i now get what all are the differences ... will try it out surely
Good to see someone continuing to develop 2.2 for the mini pro.
Might be a little bit off topic, but if i build android 2.2 from source and flash it, what are the chances it will even boot?
In the honeycomb theme could you change the color of the font in the notification slide because white on white it is impossible to read
Thank you
Many thanks for this upgrade try this one out
and of cource
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

if you got right vendor and such thing and mini pro tweaks it will boot xD
if you don't what im talkign about now i will not boot lol
Great job, many thanks!!!
Synchronization with Appbrain works?
Looks good so far !
so far the ROM looks good and working well (apart from su related reboots and FM FC's ) .
One peculiar thing observed also (although reported before in the owain's original thread) is that if you have moves app's to SD card , sometimes you see same application appearing twice in your App list . Kind of gives a weird feeling.
Not sure if this is a feeling , but if you change the notification bar setting to not show battery charge % , it seems that the battery charge lasts longer. Maybe its a psychological effect .

I guess i should try, I would like a clean base for 2.2.1, I think that using the cyanogenmod image for the hero might be the wrong approach.
As long as I can just get it to boot. Good thing that bricking the mini pro is more or less impossible. With a locked bootloader, I can always rely on SEUS.
These tweaks you are talking about, could you share that information?
Hello, i'm new here and running this ROM flawlessly. I'm using adw launcher right and thinking about change it back to launcher pro or other. Do you know how to change adw to launcher-pro?
Thanks for the rom & help
Radio FM Force close.
But the qwerty-br is work perfect
I'm sorry my english.

I saw this on ROM manager this morning...i was gonna ask around awesome...I am going to try it out because i just flashed over 7.2 RC1 yesterday, so gimme a week on that and i'll try this one out...I did like Phiremod 7.1 as it is...so i'm thinking i'll like this one a bit better than plain 7.2
any thoughts on using Hockeyfamily's MIUI for Phiremod MIUI?
Wow, welcome back!
Phiremod was first rom I flashed on my virgin NC back in December.
Luv it and ran nicely.
I will be flashing this
Got fc on initial setup. Specifically, on the sign in stage, when pressing the wifi prompt button.
Other than that seems decent. Will have a few hours and report back.
Welcome back!
I've been using Phiremod since your first releases and will definitly be upgrading soon.
Glad to see you back, keep that balance in your life - we all appreciate your work!

I can't get past the bootmenu after trying to reboot to CWR. It also keeps trying to reboot itself after I hold the Power button to turn it on
Completely awesome. Thanks for returning Phiremod to us!!
Ya know I was using this for months and just 3 weeks ago when i figured Phiremod 7.1 wasnt going to get updated anymore i switched to another one.
Really liked this one.. I have a Iconia A500 and Transformer Prime and still like this dumb little nook more (maybe cause the battery is great and it's smaller)
Welcome back - I will give this a try in the next day or so.
what a surprise! gota try this out. thank you!
A dilemma
I just didnt think I would see another build...I have Kang build running pretty good right now just a tad sluggish now and then...but man I do love to use Phiremod....
Exciting to see some more non-CM9 action on the Nook Color
But for those, such as me, who came onto the scene a bit later and never used Phiremod, what are the main differences between this and the current MiRaGe build (apart from theme/looks)?
I can see many fans of Phiremod, so tell me what you love about it.
Welcome back to the forum
Phiredrop , good to see you here again , I have always used your rom on my Nook Color . Running 6.2 still . Has been very stable .
Think I will try out this one, but has been a long time since side loaded a rom to my Nook. What would be the steps needed to take to side load . Should I just get the premium rom manager and update from internet?
Again glad to see you back . Cheers
So i installed this over the stock CM7.1 and it looks like it rocks. Everything seems much smoother in my opinion, and it looks like maps even works!
One question though, it seems like none of my google stuff i had is working (like market, gmail, etc).
Then when I go and try to add my google account, google isn't listed in my accounts settings.
Can anyone give me a hand? Great ROM nevertheless though!
flash GAPPS?
Well shoot.. I'm an even bigger idiot than I thought. Thanks for the advice, it worked like a charm.
phiredrop is BACK! w00t! <hugs nook color>
Thank you all for the kind comments!

To be honest, differences are minimal as both builds are compiled from the CM7 source. The main differences will be the modder's tastes as to what they include/exclude in the build and what they do to make the overall feel and experience their own, which then we like sharing.

Thank you! Phiremod 6.2 was based on CM7.0.2.. I would recommend performing a titanium backup of your apps, a full backup of your rom, and then wipe data/factory reset then flash pm7.2, then restore your apps - no need for purchasing Premium Rom Manager (other than supporting the awesome developer).

After a little thought . That is exactly what I did. Backed up all my apps with Titanium backup. Backed up my rom to sd card with rom manager. Dowloaded your rom via rom manager, wiping everything, then flashed you rom . Restored apps. got gmail going , downloaded amazon market , downloaded gapps cm7 from wiki , then flashed ,got flash 11 from market , and am good to go . coming fom 6.2 to 7.2 it does seem more responsive and with flash 11 . I have videos once again working in browser when visiting msnbc.com my home page. Cheers
So good to see you back PhireMod. I have always prefered your projects over the others. Can I ask a couple questions and feel free to answer whatever you want.
1) Will there be more development from you or is this just a last one off ?
1.a) Will you think about about CM9 at all ?
2) Will there be a Phiremod MIUI update at all ?
3) Newest gapps for cm7 ok for this right ? ( via gooinside ) ?
Welcome back old friend !

I've also flashed the beats mod on my phone but when it finish and reboots everytime i open music i get music player has stopped and i start hearing like a beeping noise so i'd flash back to before i had it installed, i've tried different versions and i get the same results. Then today the phone just died and when i stuck it back on the charger it said i had no battery left when just a min ago i had 80% left. And another quick questions I want to know about the media gui add ons and media add on do they already come with the rom? Because it says page 9 is where i can find them but searched from page 1 to page 20 and could not find anything but the beats mod any help or anything I know i should just use the search but i just don't know where to begin to search =[ any help please?

Flash newest version 2.6.29. Do the Aroma version (it does the wipe IN the rom). Then download and flash the Options Chooser. That has all the mods and tweaks you're looking for (SRS/Beats, etc). Those should work with this rom quite well.
PM me if you hae any issues. I don't get on Q&A very often, but I answer nearly every PM I get personally and I usually will get back to you very quickly.

No problem. I really should come on this portion more often to check out if people have any issues with my rom. As always, have a question, let me know...I am not someone who gets upset at receiving PMs
From what I've read and my experience, the Aroma version is for upgrading, the zip version is for fresh install. Important to do a full wipe including deleting the .android_secure folder on the SD card. When I've dome fresh MIUI installs using Aroma I've had updater issues and random reboots.

Odd. I've built in aroma now for 3 months and have had no such issues. O well. I still recommend aroma for installs.

Hey, whatever works! I'm by no means a MIUI expert, started using it on one of my phones a couple months back and still learning.
