Hey,
I'm currently using MoDaCo Custom ROM 3.1 on the HTC Hero GSM, which I've had running since I first rooted a while back, but I was wondering if it is worth using a different ROM now? What is the best ROM to use at the moment, eg the most reliable? I'm asking, simply because I have been running Android 1.5 ever since I've owned the phone.. and it's now starting to feel rather out-dated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Down to preference. Im running VillainRom 10.3 with JIT enabled. Its stable OCd at 710 and get 4.8MFLOPS on Linpack.
Have decent battery (although only added JIT and got it stable today so that will affect it, but shouldnt affect it too badly

I fail to see what your sig is getting at, it seems to be an attack on villain for no reason at all. Your saying your getting around 3mflops at the moment (same as villainrom) then you say that with jit VR only gets 5.03 as if thats bad?
Anyway to answer the OP you just need to try different ones and see what you like.
VillainRom has an OTA updater that makes updating nice and simple, plus we are working on having a stable JIT release soon
Edit: apologies if I have misunderstood your sig

I don't attack Villain??? It's a great ROM but for simplicity and speed etc. I think Cronos Droid is the best... But I don't really get what you mean?? When did my sig say that 5.03MFLOPS is bad? It's marked with that little line on the bottom (which I don't know the word for in English?) But please explain further i don't want my sig to be misunderstood

Ok Keep the work up on Villain im looking forward to that JIT release
I was in the extact same place you were a while back, I think the problem your facing is trying to find a ROM thats as stable and as fast as modaco 3.1.
My suggestion get vanilla eclair 3.?? - 4.0 its stable, smooth, as fast if not faster than modaco and you get some nice cool features that seem to be missing from most hero ROMs.
You do however loose sense, but anyone with any sense will loose sense.
oh its also 2.1 as far as I can see, and its my current stable, everyday use ROM, occasionally you do get this freaky error when you unlock....very trippy, but just lock it and unlock it and the problems fixed.
Hope that helps, it does have a slightly shaky install, but if you want just PM me and I can help.
I like the chocolateEclaire. Faster than the vanilla and with all the features you desire.
On my Hero for a week and its a stayer.

P.s to original poster sorry for hijacking your post. Lol
Im looking for something which is anything greater than Android 1.5 and with google maps navigation built in.. can anyone help me? Theres so many different ROMs out there now, its got all confusing..
Its alright now guys, all my rooting knowledge has come flooding back to me and I've been testing out some ROMS. Thanks for your help though =)
I am having a hard time sticking with cm7...no doubt it is a GREAT rom, and i love ginger on my phone, but i feel like after being on the same rom for over 2 weeks no with just flashing nightlies, that my phone is longing for change...
anyone want to talk me out of it?
Anyone want to talk me into a different 2.2.1 rom?
Thanks!

try out Trigger!
I'm currently on CM7, and love it and have no intentions to change unless if major bugs just randomly come across me.
Trigger is one of the best, stable, and speedy ROMS you'll find on this section.
Bionix... is a bit old.

Gotta agree about Bionix being old (in our world anyway). I've been using Simply Galaxy and I think it rocks. I haven't really come across a "bad" or buggy rom in a long time. Our devs are all pretty good.
Dude go for the Bi-winning ROM, it's just amazing. Coming from a Trigger user, its just the smoothest and snappiest EVER!
I little while ago I flashed the BAMF-GingerREMIX-v2.0-Beta6 with the Darkhorse theme but it's been like a month or two since I did that and I was curious if there is an update to this ROM because I didn't see anything in the development forums on Thunderbolt and I expected to see a number of the latest BAMF updates but I see a CM7 and a bunch of others that I never seen before. Anyone point me to the right link or know anything about this? thanks!

They have their own site/forum and updates there. Don't have a link, but google for bamf forum or something like that and it should turn up.
I found the site and forums about their ROMS but nothing speaks anywhere that I could see to weather specific roms will work with the thunderbolt or not where as in these forums I know they are meant to work on the Thunderbolt. I just don't want to DL a rom from there and find out, oh CRAP this was meant for an Atrix, not a Thunderbotl and now I've bricked my phone!

If you are in the thunderbolt/roms section then they are for thunderbolt, the only other roms are for the incredible. They are working on a DX2 Rom but they don't have a section for it yet.
First things first...don't yell at me for creating this thread
Relatively new to android (I was an old school winmo guy for a long time *dcd!*) and now I wanna root my E3D and flash some other roms on it.
So the question is, what kinda roms do you all suggest? I love sense so any suggestions?
If you don't want to be yelled at...why not post in Q&A? This is a question right...
Anyway, Android Revolution HD is my favorite sense ROM now. MIUI is awesome if you want something radical, but is buggy. CM7 is good too but a bit buggy.

I've been using Deck's (kushdeck) sense rom for eons now. I've tried a bunch of other Sense roms, many of which were awesome, but a lot had some issues because they were nightlies or whatever. With deck's, I get unbelievable battery life in comparison to any other rom. It's a pretty standard sense rom, doesn't have much extra themeing, but it's extremely solid. (my nandroid of that rom is named KushSuperStable, lol).
If you don't wanna be yelled at, give your thread a legitimate name...

I'm gonna have to agree here that Deck's ROM is wickedly awesome, but it's sad that he's gone ghost.

Yea, it is sad that he's gone ghost. I hope everything's alright with him in 'real life' and that all is well. Hopefully when he has some more free time he comes back over here. At least the way he left the rom is perfect, I have not one complaint about it and see no need to update it.

AndroidRevolution is great. Stock, but with ALOT of enhancements as well as having one of the best development teams on XDA!
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The most stable I have used thus far have been clean rom, steel rom, and virus' eternity roms (builds 1.1, 1.2.2, and 1.4)....
Either one of those will be solid and reliable. Virus 1.4.2 rom seems very solid as well but I haven't made the jump yet simply bec#use I want to put this one through the long haul test... been on this rom and the bc kernel v3 for over two weeks, over clocked at 1.62 ghz with not one issue.
I would give eternity 1.4 a shot

Yeah GhostFaceKillah.
I use CleanRom its stock with bloatware removed and some other enhancements.
SteelRom is my absolute favorite Sense based rom. But nothing will ever beat the awesomeness of CM7
Lot of good suggestions in here, but when it really comes down to it you need to read up and just try stuff.. Doesnt take much to nand and try a rom for yourself.
Another thing that matters is what YOU use on your phone..
For example, someone said that MIUI is radical which is very true but its awesome once you get used to it and that its buggy.. but that may not be true for everyone because for me its flawless for what I use it for.. I dont have 4g in my area so I could care less about that, I dont use any hotspot apps so that doesnt matter for me as some are having issues with that. 3D doesnt work but honestly I barely ever use it anyways..
Although I wouldnt recommend MIUI as your first rom to flash because it does take some getting used to.. and you also mentioned that you like sense.
Eternity is one of my favorites and I used it for a while, its sense but has some cool features that make it different then stock sense.
Again its hard to say which are best because there are so many talented Devs around that are making awesome roms.. so get used to nanding and dive in..
another vote for Eternity Rom.
Ive been with Eternity for several weeks now. I flashed MIUI temporarily and didnt like it, back to Eternity.
I am currently on 1.4.1 and Ziggy dual core kernal. Great benchmark scores @ 1.7
1.8 seems unstable on some of the benches like cf and antutu. But I typically just keep it at stock CPU speed anyhow, so Im not worried about it.
Some people seem to have more issues than others. Some the screen locks up on them while charging, others it wont go to sleep, some people the screen wont wake up during an incoming call.
Myself I havent had any issues really. My facebook app seems to force close quite a bit whenever I try to post on someones wall. I would like to see that fixed, but as far as I know, no one else really has that issue. So it may just be something glitchy on my phone.
But yes. Definitely try Eternity. You wont regret.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, will definitely try out some of your suggestions!
Aside from the poor choice of thread title, we know nothing about the device. I guess I could've missed it skimming through all 2 pages. What Hboot is on the device? Figuring out which method to use and how far you'll be able to go is a good start. You should be checking out the root threads before asking about ROMs. Just a thought, not intended to be rude in any way.
Miui is the best rom hands down for looks and feel. And it gets better every week!

You were dcd? I remember you back in the ppcgeeks days, I am thinking around the mogul and touch pro days. Maybe you should get back into cooking roms like you used to.

I agree on Deck's ROM too, but because he has gone AWOL, I've switched over to CleanROM 2.7. It's just as reliable as Deck's ROM, battery life is almost as good, but you can OC and make it FLY while still retaining excellent battery life. And... it's more customizable than Deck's ROM.
I've run both Deck's ROM and CleanROM 2.7 long term and can recommend both. I'd give the edge to CleanROM though (there's a CleanROM Developer's Edition too).

Hi all,
Im running stock ICS on my SGT 10.1. I also have a SGS which Ive flashed many times. Thought it was time to do the Tablet.
So.......I just updated my SGS to Gamerzrom, which I cant give enough praises for, its AOSP and its running very smooth and very fast.
Im just wondering what is your favourite/fastest upgrade(ROM) youve delighted your Tablet with??? Any AOSP youd recommend?? Im not really looking for CM10. Im looking for light, fast but also smooth with a little bit of eye candy.
Thanks
Sounds like "a best rom" thread to me.Everyone has it's own preferences.
Well search in dev area select a rom which is eye candy for you download and flash.If you don't like it you can always flash another one
Thank you and thread closed.
