Hi Guys,
I am completely new to rooting, but I'd like to give it a go. The main things I'm looking for is for my new ROM to be fast (hopefully faster than stock?) and for the possibility of WiFi tethering.
Could you advise me what to choose?
Thanks!
Elelinux-2.2.1-Stock, I would say, this is a very stable 2.2 ROM for a new-to-root user.

If you're familiar with the HTC Sense ROM, his Android 2.1 update1 repack is a good way to go.

For Android 2.2.1 I recommend Elelinux-6.2.0-Hero-Speedmachine-v3 as it's updated

Hello, I will be getting an Aria soon and was wanting to put the froyo rom on it. My question is, is it necessary to update the kernel and the radio or should the rom work fine without doing those?

The ROM includes those both so you should have no problem by just flashing a new ROM. I personally recommend you go for the FR008 Deodexed ROM.
Thanks, that is the ROM I am going to use.
I used Sense UI for about 6 months before I got fed up with it. I have CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Liberty on my Aria with the Gingerbread theme and LauncherPro as my default launcher. Love it. So much quicker, customizable, and efficient. Battery life has improved tremendously since switching to all this.
I like the look of HTC Sense
Hi guys! I need tour advice. I want to bring this htc sence and all htc softaware on my hero to hell, and i need some advice about custom rom.
What of all custom rom's don't include this creepy htc software and work nice w/o bugs and so on?
Hi. Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
You will have to look on the AOSP - no Sense ROMs.
Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta, but 2.2 ROMs have everything working fine and are really fast.
Elelinux gingerbread rom is really the best IMHO now try it out from the developement threads
Agree on using elelinux gingerbread now starting to prefer the stock ROM (though need to use a dialler replacement!)
Whats a good 2.3.4 rom that has somewhat good battery life, One that is very fast gets good linepack/Quadrant scores, And lastly a rom in 2.3.4 that is stable.
If anyone could point me towards a Rom like this it would be very much appreciated.
I wouldn't use a 2.3.4 ROM yet, not all the kernels are compatible with it. It could bork WiFi, camera, etc., since the kernel source for 2.3.4 hasn't been released by HTC yet. Also, there isn't much of a difference if you're just gonna be running a custom ROM on it.
Alright thanks for the tip so right now I'm on the stock 2.3.4 rooted ROM I can just convert back to a 2.3.3 ROM without any issues if I'm correct?

I'm using Synergy lastest build, just use subversion and keep up w/ every change and add your own stuff to the apps and take out those you don't want.
Plus the new wifi tether beta5 works so got all my functionality back.
I've had my streak since launch which is pretty much a year now and I've been looking to take the plunge and smack a nice custom ROM on my streak.
Of course I want gingerbread etc but my problem is that there seems to be a distinct lack of Custom ROMs being finished.
It used to be the case on a phone that there would be great stable ROMs with incremental updates to fix little annoyances here and there, but all of these custom ROMs have massive flaws and there's so many of them being pumped out e.g "streakdroid" which is over version 2 now and still has major problems?
Can someone please point me in the direction of a nice stable custom rom?
thanks
there's only two gingerbread roms
i dont know which is most stable as i dont use either

The most stable Gingerbread ROM for the Streak is Streakdroid 2.3. It's still not stable, though, because Dell never released any firmware other than an Alpha release of Kernel code for 2.3. They have since discontinued the device which means there are only a handful of devs left here to finish an entire ROM, not just make it better.
If you want a totally stable release you're going to have to go with a 2.2 ROM, and they still aren't totally stable. Try StreakDroid 1.9.1 or SimpleStreak 1.2 (Not really a custom ROM, more of just a parred down version of stock ROM)

Moving to Q&A
the most recommended rom is froyo stock
SimpleStreak then install what you want.
Didn't think it was worthy of starting a new thread.
What is the most stable 2.2 or 2.3 ROM right now.
I don't need anything fancy. Just want something that is debloated and quick and stable. Needs to be at least 2.2.
New to Streak 5, just trying to help out my Mom with a phone for her.
Edit, n/m. I broke the Streak due to the stupid battery cover/reboot issue. Bought a Samsung Infuse instead. Will put the Streak on eBay in as-is condition noting what happened.
I've tried just about every custom Rom out there and handsdown DSC is the most stable rom i've used so far, Miui was good but the battery life just killed it for me.
DSC
DSC 1.0v \m/is the most stable among StreakDroid5-2.0 slow in my streak, miui restart often, Longhorn 2.5 FCing.
Hi Hero owners
I don't own this phone but have a friend who does and it runs on Android 2.1. It's desparately in need of a new rom, everything lags and is unbearably slow. So I want to update it to 2.3 and am in need of a clean, stabe 2.3 Rom with Sense.
Can anyone please recommend a good one? There are just too many for me to figure out which one does the trick... She doesn't need any fancy experimental features, just a fast and stable rom.
Thank you!

You can use SalsaSense for now but it's fairly slow, or you can wait 2-3 days since im going to release an awsome 2.3 ROM with sense
