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.
mySlide-1.0.2
YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT THIS...DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!!
This is just what I want, not necessarily what you want http://www.mediafire.com/?tstgikwhfezj6ph
This Rom will mostly be unsupported and unmaintained.
Flash at your OWN RISK.
What it is:
Stock slide rom.
added busybox
added netcat (busybox nc isn't good enough for me)
added bash
added htop
removed link toolbox->df (prefer the one in busybox)
removed link toolbox->rm (prefer the one in busybox)
changed the default animated boot ADVERTISEMENT and jingle
pngcrushed and zipaligned apks (with the execption of one) to save some space
Kangs:
what isn't.
maybe a few more little changes I forgot.
changes:
from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1:
added a2sd (from eugene373's smr5r1. breaks boot animation)
added default themes back.
from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2
added e2fsck
mySlide-1.0.0-signed
mySlide-1.0.1-signed
mySlide-1.0.2-signed
Themes in this are broken (1.0.0 only). If you want the default themes back then flash this...
themes-signed.zip
hey dumfuq glad to see you over on the slide section now. can we expect some overclocked kernals from you like on the g1?

Not sure why you say that (in those words), but this does look decent!
Also, noob question, but are the stock ROMs (apps included) not zipaligned by default?
Yup they were already zipaligned. At least the ones I just checked
Honesty I didn't even look first. The crush actually takes off about 10Mb though.
yo dumfuq quick question... what exactly is required in editing a kernel to allow for overclocking and undervolting?

Not exactly sure if this is what your asking but basically...
You need the kernel source code to edit (the legend kernel source has the espresso board files),
A handy dandy text editor (like vim),
a cross-compiler (There is one under prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain in an AOSP or cyanogenmod build environment),
and a linux environment (cygwin might work not really sure).
1. download source
2. unpack source
3. edit source
4. set environmental variables
4. compile source
5. make a boot.img or an update.zip
Obviously that's incredibly simplified, but hopefully you get the idea.
Ok quick question to the maker of this rom... How can i add the themes back to this rom? I want to put the themes back but i dont kno which folder to put them in. Also which folder is where i can change the boot animation you have installed to stock? Thanks
this actually seems like exactly what i want. My only question is does it support a2sd. if so.. i have a new rom

good question. a2sd is a plus
you don't put them in anywhere. you can download and install them. there's a thread already with a small pack of themes to download and install. You install like any other APK. Search this forum section for them.

The PNG crush killed the stock themes. If you want them back you can either boot to recovery and push the original ones to /system/app/ or just flash this...themes-signed.zip. That is just an update.zip that will copy the original themes back to your phone.

Nope, no a2sd.

Nope. Currently I don't use a2sd, or this rom really. I made this just for an optimized stock rom to bounce back to when needed. Currently I'm running a customized version of eugene's cm6 as my daily driver.
in your experience.. how hard would it be for a novice to add a2dp to this? I did a quick google and found about 3 good pages of data.. but it seems pretty complicated (packing and repacking boot.img looks to be pretty intense on a windows machine without any experience from what i can tell). Do you think i should attempt this? LOL.

Hi guys, my father has a Milestone 1 and the dev there has included a new app2sd script on his CM ROM.
I've been using it for quite sometime and it's AWESOME!
It's nice and clean and I haven't found any bugs yet.
The source for this script is here: https://gist.github.com/1244362
Since I'm no dev, I have no idea how to use it on P500. It would be nice to see one of our devs making a flashable zip for us.

You know by any chance if the script has the bootloop problem ungaze and darktremor scripts have? You know what i'm talking about...
And thanks for taking interest into that matter. I and Miasmic were pointing it out for some time. Now that CM7 is almost bugless, that would be the only problem left for our device, a stable a2sd script. If only some dev would take interest in it...

Yeah, I know about these problems, that's why I don't use Darktremor or Ungaze anymore.
This script on Milestone (a very low memory device) is working perfectly.
It made the phone actually a lot faster.
I hope one of the devs see this.

I did not use it. Doesn't it give bootloops if too many apps are installed and moved to sd ext? If you use it try and stress it to its max and report back. Maybe it works, although it doubt it.
Have you tried using mount2sd on OpT yet? The second link option

I always use Link2SD and no boot loops for me for about 9 month.

It`s not about the time, but the amount of apps moved to sd. For example ungaze lets you move max 2GB (the size of sd ext) but i could only move about 1.2 or 1.3 GB of apps before getting bootloops. Also darktremor only lets you move about 2/3 of the space available on sd ext before getting bootloops.
So please test if link2sd and other apps solved this so we can use that stable one instead of bootloops ones.
It seems the problem is solved with Mount2sd app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342387
"For some reason, the CM Team has come up with this fun idea to place the dalvik cache for all system apps in /cache/dalvik-cache instead of /data/dalvik-cache with the rest of it. This is especially fun when you have a cache size of 5mb, because then there is not enough space to build the dalvik-cache and you end up with these really funny reboot loops. However, if you are some boring person that does not find these reboot loop's fun, you can enable cmdalvik to fix this problem. It will force the dalvik-cache in /cache to be placed in the correct /data path among the rest of the dex files."

If you don't know what PDroid is look here
All I have done is patch MiniCM using this
Flash PDroid.zip in CWM
Flash Restore.zip in CWM if you have problems
Credits:
nAa & co for the ROM
svyat for PDroid
pastime1971 & mateorod for the patches
Go ahead & thank these guys
Usual disclaimers apply
Looks great, I'm gonna try it out NEver heard of it, but seems it offers a better alternative to permission denials
does anybody want me to upload latest patch? (for MiniCM9 3.0.3)
To anyone who is interested there is a pdroid & V6supercharger version, I just haven't tested it...mainly because I like ICS memory management & didnt notice much improvement when using it. Look here
Also could a moderator move this to apps forum, sorry :good:

I've been desperately trying to get pdroid on MiniCM7!
First, I couldn't patch (with either the original patcher or the pastime1971 & mateorod patcher) because the ROM was odexed. So I deodexed it but it still won't work. The patcher created an update.zip output but pdroid keeps displaying the "Bad news: pdroid patch is not installed" message. Even after mount system.
So, my questions are:
1) Did you deodex the MiniCM9 before patching? If you did, did you use kitchen?
2) Did you have any further trouble?
3) Is the deodexed and/or patched ROM noticeably slower than the odexed version? (my non-working patched MiniCM7 was much, much slower than the original nAa ROM)
And the bonus one: is MiniCM9 as fast/reliable as MiniCM7? Should I make the switch? Any flagrant disadvantage?

CM 7.2 isn't currently supported afaik. The last MiniCM7 to be supported by the autopatcher would be v2.1.4
For the most part it works fine, pdroid has a really low overhead I didnt notice slowdown or anything but if you go blocking overboard
then things might FC but its easy to undo.
Don't think our little phone can handle deodexed roms so thats probably why you had issues (could be wrong)
Bonus answer: to be honest, it entirely depends on what compromises you can make as an end user. For my needs, I could tolerate
the little niggles with CM9, they didnt bother me, but they might be a show stopper for you. I was using it daily with no major issues which
would stop it functioning as a phone/media player/time killer. So I guess the best advice would be to try it & decide for yourself
(I really noticed a difference in music EQ - CM9 handled the bass - my dre beats said so)
Speed wise, if you don't mind waiting a second longer every now & then (not always) then not a dealbreaker but again its up to you to
weigh up pros & cons as you use it.
Reliability...only time I got reboots was when trying to stream live tv (unsurprisingly) & wifi speeds seemed slow for me but I might
have missed a trick there...
...thats my two cents!
Im trying out CM10 to check the hype for myself...pdroid patch tested & working. Download from first post
Thanks a lot, brother. I'm at work right now so I can't try any other ROMs but I fear my weekend is going to be spent 50% girlfriend and 50% f'ing up my phone with several ROMs.
I'm gonna read up on CM10 'cause I haven't heard anything about it and also try the MiniCM7 v2.1.4 and CM9 just for fun. If I have any success I'll report it over here.
And just to clear up: I intend to use my phone for calls and texts (duh!), maps, some productivity apps (nothing more demanding than a timesheet) and little games (e.g., Angry Birds). All of these will be used offline because I don't like/trust data plans. So far, I've tested all of these apps in MiniCM7 and all of them work wonderfully; I hope that's the case with the older MiniCM7 or with CM9/10 too.
Have a nice weekend!
Hi, again, brother!
Guess what! I just got PDroid running under MiniCm7.2!
I don't know what I did wrong yesterday (sleep deprivation really messes with my brain). Today I just reinstalled the deodexed version of MiniCM7 (latest version, btw) and reapplied the patch created by patcher v1.31 (patcher v1.32 would not boot - weird).
I guess I won't be trying CM9 or CM10, after all. Well, maybe when a stable enough version of MiniCM9 rolls out I'll try it. Until then, ta-da!
Problem
I have problem with download pDroid of Google play.
On MiniCM9 I can download but I can't download on MiniCM10, so please tell me how to solve this problem.
Thanks and sorry for my English

Ok I'm not a flashing noob. That being said I'm looking for a sense ROM that is really stable for a guy I work with that is not a tech guy at all. Also I haven't ever messed with any of these app2 to see apps which one is best as I see the the phone memory is really low. Not much activity on the development and most roms have no activity any more.

S2E has worked great for me. It's very easy to install and, once you set it up, it automatically moves all apps and cache files to the sd card. But it only works with CM roms. If you want a very stable CM rom use CM7. Its a GB version that works flawlessly.
If I recall correctly, the best Sense rom is "Liberated," which is a Froyo rom. I think it has an apps to sd function built in.

If you want to hold on to Sense UI, sorry the information I provide may not be of any help. But as much as I know, S2E is the best way to ensure that your phone will never run out of memory.
Flash the newest stable CM7.2 found here:-
CyanogenMod 7.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430267
or you can navigate over to CyanogenMod's website > Supported Devices > HTC Aria > Downloads
S2E can be found in the market. But I guess you could find a guide on how to partition your SD card in order for Apps to be installed there. It's easy and simple. All can be done with Recovery.

Thanks guys the guy I'm fixing this for I probably could have left it stock but I had to change his apn so I thought while doing so I would put the best on I could for him. I might go ahead and put the cm7 on for him. I'm currently using jellytime which is cm10 and love it. For him I was trying to stay close to stock.
