Bit of a wide open question maybe? But I'm sick of waiting for HTC to release the 2.1 update and want to move to a 2.1 ROM on my unbranded UK Hero.
I'm not bothered whether it's got sense or not I just want a fully working fast ROM.
What do people recommend.
Thanks
Sense - VillainRom 5.2 (5.3 should be out tomorrow)
Non Sense - ( I don't really use them so not sure)
Sense - VillainRom 5.2 (honestly ... In my personal opinion, there is a lack of competition)
non Sense - I've tried a bunch, but I just can't get into using a crippled phone.
I've been using Sense Hero 2.1 by Stickman
The font that is used in the pictures on Htcdevscene.info has reverted back to the normal font as people were'nt Happy !!!!
Everthing is working fine at the moment and another update is due out to fix some issues.
Can anyone compare this to the Villian ROM as I havn't tried that one.
Thanks
I tried almost all 2.1 roms on XDA, and even if developers made an awesome work on it, 2.1 is not worth it yet on Hero.
Roms are pretty stable, but not 100%, it's really slow compared to 1.5, and the battery drain remain huge.
Last thing, if you use Spotify, I think you can forget about 2.1 roms for now.....
MCR 3.2 is still the best
Well you say that but VillainRom 5.2 certainly is not slower than 1.5 roms

Do you guys feel that when using 2.1 roms, the phone starts out so fast and stable when you just flashed them then a couple of nights later, its so laggy and some things start to make problems like making phone calls or wifi stops working or acouple or the lag becomes more and more
my favorite 2.1? aHero 0.8: clean, stable and I don't have to complain about "issues"
Vanillain 2.0 JIT - AOSP maybe is better, I have to test it (Vanillain 1 was awsome)
One advantage about Vanilla ROMs: you can, if you want, use JIT

I have noticed that running the free app "autokiller" (which just tweaks androids internal settings) keeps it speedy at all times.

I also tried that, even with 2 or 3 applications running the phone remain laggy. Back to MCR after 1 month and a half on 2.1 (VillainRom and aHero), my hero is smooth again and I can use Spotify without having to kill all processes before.
And that doesn't prevent anyway from the battery drain
Was using Legend port but as was going for Holiday, downgraded to 1.5 for GPS. Now I'm itching to try but ROM development seems to be in explosion . Gone few threads for almost a week now and still cannot find any definitive answers:
a) Which build has the stable GPS without that on/reboot-off/reboot bug?
b) without sleep bug?
c) Bluetooth audio call working without any problem?
d) Without Camera green-blue tint
e) 95% stable? well close to 100% will be bonus
f) Can hold charge for at least of 7-10 hrs.
Thanks.
I'm using Legendary v1.3.5 right now and it looks good. Waiting for VillainRom 5.3 tho.. ;-)

Which 2.2 ROM do you think has the BEST capability to handle the requirements from the HTC Hero?
EDIT: if i missed a/your ROM i'm really sorry!! i can add it if you like, thanks!
the CM6 nightlies are missing.
I am currently testing floyo 1.01 as it is newer (and so more up to date including, finally, a French Canada QWERTY keyboard!) than froyd 1.5 (my last ROM). Also it comes with less crap built-in (not hard to remove, but still). However I think that froyd's policy of switching to the conservative governor while screen is off is a better idea for long battery life. Too bad we need an extra application to handle that (CPUspeed).
I also like the fact that the gallery 3D doesn't rotate. It didn't work anyways.
But what made me change is that I had random reboots when I used my phone with Froyd 1.5.
CM6 for the win anyways. Most (all?) of these roms are based on CM6 so they don't differ much.
Hey dont forget to add cronos froyo, great rom and responsive developer, im sure a good number of us still try out his roms
Id suggest trying out the last three plus cronos froyo, until froydvillain comes out with their updated version since the current one is a bit out of date
You should definately add the nightly builds as an option, i've been running one of the builds for..dunno coming up to a week i think, and its so smooth, consistently, no lag what so ever, and fast, and stable
also to add to the problem, i tried the bluetooth, i cant receive files but i can send files to others..
ooops wrong thread sorry..
yeah its been awhile... i forgot about Crono's ROM, going to flash it right now and compare it with Floyo.
took the advice that FroydVillain may be a bit older relatively and it seemed like the FusionROM wasnt so stable. might try elelinux after crono's but i doubt it... still need to see which one could possibly run Adobe AIR!

First any ROM with flykernel-11 (including Floyo 1.0+) will by default use smartass will automatically cap the speed when sleeping to 352. So actually that is much better for battery life when idle and it does not require any app.
Regarding floyd's policies, I am actually not aware of such an option. It's definitively not in the kernel, so if it does exist it's an option of the included CPU speed app....

That is very unfortunate, as that developer has chosen to keep all his work very private and "top secret" and will not share his knowledge, not even on problems he has claimed to solved and was asked to share his solution specifically.... I understand that such issues just look like power struggles to users which do not follow the technical development threads very closely but actually in this case there are very good reasons why this developer is not allowed on XDA.
In the long run such developers do not advance android/hero development at all.
ive tried a few android roms, but i never really found one i liked, so can anyone recommend me an android rom that has the following:
sense
fast and stable
fully working market palce (without having to play around with the SD card)
good and consistant signal for the UK (t-mobile)
good battery life
close to stock
other then that im not really that bothered what version the rom is (ive only seen 2.1 and 2.2 fod the HD2 anyway) or what handset it origionally came from. i know its still in developement stage so i might not be able to have everything i want. to be honest the most important stuff is sense and the market place! i plan to use it more as my main OS on my phone.
if it helps im running radio 2.15, with cleanex dse v6 rom, and plan to use a boot manager to select which os to run at startup
I would highly recommend this build.

I thought that build was fantastic...except that i had no luck getting the data to work consistently on TmoUS in Seattle.

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i would strongly recommend [BUILD](09.10.2010)New Customize (iphone,sense,galaxys) in one Build mccm SE 2.0/2.5 which is Base on MIUI Android build. Absolutely brilliant built... with:
Iphone.launcher-1 (Iphone iOS style)
LauncherPro (HTC Sense style)
Twlauncher-1 (Samsung Galaxy S style)
Camera and market place all functions are working well.... i have used it for 2 weeks. No bugs or freezes... just great to use it! This is the link, you will love it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802194
You could also try the mattc 1.8 w/ sense. It's a little older but it works awesome.
Set it up with hastarins 7.4. You don't even have to use SetCPU to get a full day usage with your phone. In standby my phone lasts min. 1.5 days.
Cheers
I'm also a T-Mobile UK user and atm I'm using MdeeJay's HD 3.6 build with Hastarin 7.5 and aside from skipping music (which can be fixed with a simple edit with droid explorer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811248) and the fact that is it's a Desire HD build there's no working camera it's perfect in every way for me.
Market works 100%
Sense looks amazing on it
I never get worse than 2 bars and I barely even get that on WinMo in my town
As for close to stock, my gf has a desire and she can navigate my phone with ease. In fact she prefers my phone cos of the screen size (If a woman ever tells you size doesn't matter she's lying! )
thanks for that!! il have a look at each of the builds. having a camera is pretty essential, as i take a lot of pictures! ive seen some builds that have 2 camera apps, one at 3mp and one at 5mp. il just work my way down the list and let you know how i got on!
Try the build I'm using, I can honestly say its brilliant, haven't had a single issue with it yet and I've been using it for a while, give it a go, you will not regret it!
i was using the mattc froyo 1.8, but i still had issues with the market place. every item kept saying ither download unsucessful or install unsucessful. i tried unmounting and remounting the SD card and tried soft resets and turning the 3g off and on again and using the wifi but none of these made a difference. it sems in the last few days there has been a new version of the rom released (2.0) which has the htc 5mp camera app and some other bug fixes, so il try that, but this seems to be the most stable ive tried (although it takes a long time to boot!)
one thing i have always noticed in android is a very irratic signal. if i sit in the same place with my phone in the same position, it normally goes from 2 bars to full signal to 2 bars to no signal, then maybe 10 seconds later repeats this pattern. in winmo in the same place and position i get 4 bars (with the h symbol). ive tried a few different radio verisons (2.08, 2.11, 2.12) and im currently on 2.15. i cant see anything in the thread about a specific radio thats required but does anyone know if there is a radio that is better for android in terms of battery life and signal reliability?
currently on workshed --> gingerbread 2.9
wondering if going to ....
workshed --> froyoshed
tazzpatriot --> gingertaz
zach.xtr --> xtrom
zach.xtr --> xtrsense
Conap --> celeb
is 2.1 based roms or 2.2 or 2.3 the best? that would be the most reliable and fastest rom out there? about to flash root and flash a rom on a friends eris. i just got a droid 2 global from my buddy so i've been playing around with that and the eris on the side and trying to figure out what's best for my friend that would be fast and reliable. help please!
the xtr roms are very fast and very reliable
you could install a few roms and do backsup of them and show your friend how
to restore backs ups or show how to flash roms

the person is someone i work with and she is a girl. i'm looking to just flash it and forget about it honestly. she has like 10mb or less right now and isn't rooted and hates the phone cause it's slow. i know rooting the eris makes it like 5-10x faster since i played with my eris for months upon months but just trying to figure out what everyone else thinks is the fastest. at the end of the day if you move onto another phone that's the biggest fix but for now i'll just root her phone and hopefully she will be more satisfied.
yea id say one of the xtr roms would be good choice to flash and forget imo
I have xtrSENSE flashed on my girlfriend's Eris; she has seen every possible ROM on my Eris and still prefers the "simplicity and the Sense UI" of her ROM; as she calls it.
xtrSENSE is a stable, fast and reliable ROM; kind of like STOCK but with all the goodies... if you know what I mean.
I like to stick with any stock 2.2 ROM (iConap's CELB 4.4)
It has been stable for a long time and I get about a day and a half worth of battery (with 3G/GPS/Sync all on with moderate texting/few calls)
2.2 Froyo is better than 2.1 Eclair because..
-speed and performance optimizations
-USB thether and Wi-fi hotspot
Check the link for more info
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
Don't get me wrong, I see a lot of love from xTrSense ROM and it is a fast/stable ROM all around
P.S.
Yes 2.3 Gingerbread is even better than 2.2 like better app and battery management & theme chooser BUT once CM7 Final is out and all ironed up I'll be moving onto that
Conap's CELB Froyo is amazingly stable and zippy as heck..
I have that running on my buddy's phone as well as my wife's.. absolutely a "flash and forget" ROM.
-Xith
FroShedYo's Final is my preferred daily rom, up-to-date, run as is with options for further customization/OC tuning, etc. and very good on battery. Nonsensikal's ROM coming in 2nd. on 2.2 OS for me - keep a Nand backup on the SD card while running FSY's ROM so it's a fairly bullet-proof setup - not the fastest, slickest or necessary best on battery run, but very close in all categories.
+1 as others said about various GB 2.3 ROMs floating here on XDA, several are close to perfection with more fine tuning & minor bugs resolved, would be great - none of them, I feel, are the "flash & forget, leave it" status yet for the non-geek users. The ASOP, plain/almost Vanila type GB ones like OMGB and Condemned V5 CM7 running fairly smooth overall. In general, 2.3 OS loaded on the Eris sometimes has issues with GPS, camera & MMS, etc. - known "bugs" noted by some users and being worked on & some felt it's hardware-built specific .... even for the Kaos/Tazz/Workshed ROMs.
Aside from rooting the phone, which I assumed most of us on here took as a given, is to flash the C2C as it will free up extra memory/storage space by moving it to the SD card - so proper preparation pre-flash (format/wipe, etc.) I use 3 different SD (16, 8 & a 4 GB) cards so that I can play with several ROMs while keeping my "working" primary ROM on the master and easily switch back & restore .... Running widgets & other settings also affect how smoothly a ROM run, as is battery calibration & conditioning, as I'm sure you know.
The Eris Froyo ROMs, as far as I know, all have issues with long-term GPS use, like navigation, where the GPS radio goes screwy after about 20 minutes or so. This was fixed in all of the GB ROMs, as far as I can tell (I have used Runkeeper to log a 3 hour run with GSB and it was perfect.)
That said, if you want fast, set and forget, no bugs, no "weirdness" (i.e., long-press menu to get the keyboard in order to press 1 or 2 when you dial *228 in the Froyo and GB ROMs; hold VolUp while you press Send to wake the screen when you are in a speakerphone or BT call and the display times out in the Froyo and GB ROMs) - IMHO you want xtrSENSE. I think that the GB and Froyo ROMs are worth a try, but I would also install, set up and Nandroid backup an xtrSENSE build just in case. The only thing that xtrSENSE is missing is the cool Google Voice Actions that comes with the Froyo and above Google search app.
I have never used xtrsense or rom, I did use kaos froyo and loved it. I am now on gingertazz and dont plan on changing to anything else. Its fast, stable, and has awesome battery life. Right now I am at 100% after 4 hrs granted I havent used it much but I am impressed. I say just keep trying different ones you will find the one that fits your phone best.
I've been using TaintedTenzo2.1 for a few weeks and I really like it. Its very stable, and fast I haven't had any issues with it. I've tried Gingerbread roms and they were great but just not for me.

If you are comparing to a D2, yes, it will always have lag. Try some other ROMs if you wish, but, in the end, you are running a phone with hardware that first came out two years ago - April 2009 for the Magic; June 2009 for the Hero. The only difference was Sense and more megapixels on the camera when the Hero was released; the Eris added the proximity sensor. Otherwise, it's the same phone.
i'm a big fan of xtr.sense myself, i love the sense ui and otherwise zippy overall. i've tried alot of roms and for a flash and forget i would highly recommend it
I agree... Flash and forget... xtrSense
Zachs work is stellar and super stable.
I tried GSB 2.8 on my wife's Eris but after adding Launcher Pro Plus so I could get the calendar widget and beautiful widgets to get the weather/clock back, it seemed quite a bit more sluggish than Zach's xtrSENSE 5.01. I'd like to see GSB as fast or faster, but it wasn't the case for me...
I also had some bugs in GSB but I'm sure there are fewer now. I'm going to try again after it moves to RLS2 and see...
Anyone experience different results in terms of performance?
Im running a 2.3 rom called GingerBreadShed 2.3.4 (CyanogenMod 7 Nightly) and love it so far, the customization is amazing. Theres so many options, i flashed it a couple hours ago and haven't even gotten my apps back yet because I'm so caught up in the features... but of course, i have a problem i should let you know of... Im trying to find a solution and if anyone knows let me know. I cannot use any widgets i download, only launcher pro widgets and a few default widgets. A lot of HTC widgets are even absent. I'm trying my best to figure out a way to use them and ill let you know it i do.

HTC widgets will only work with a ROM running the Sense launcher.
Agreed either zach's xtrSENSE5.0.1 or xtrROM5.0.1
Both excellent, fast, stable, and solid.

Hi all,
I don't know if my eris is finicky or I just like XTR Rom/XTR Sense, but every 2.2 and up rom I've tried has been much slowed than any XTR rom I've used, BUT I want to use Google Music on my Eris (requiring 2.2 or higher).
So, if anyone can give me suggestions... I've been using GSB 3.4 with Launcher2 (after reading some threads), but it's much, much laggier, even with similar clock settings. I also used nonsensikal froyo awhile ago, but it loved lag and locking up.
tl,dr: looking for the fastest 2.2+ rom
Cheers
It might just be your phone. I also experience everything you have just said. I try other ROM's and do the same settings and everything and I fell that anything over 2.1 is laggier and I get terrible battery life. I always switch back to Xtr Senses. I know its probably not what you want to hear. I also love some of the newer features but it looks like we are the minority on this issue.

It's hard to say - I find that almost every ROM I run feels about the same speed as any other. That said, Launcher2 is not a fast launcher - you will be much better off with LauncherPro, LauncherPro Plus, ADW, or ADW EX.
If you read through the GSB thread you will see some recommendations for performance which may help. By default the max clock runs at 604 MHz, while xtrROM by deafault runs at 710, so you can try bumping up the max clock (settings->cyanogenmod settings->performance -> CPU settings). Also read up on the supercharger scripts; I suggest number 14 (for the bulletproof launcher).
Others, hopefully, will chime in with other suggestions.
Oh, and now that I think of it - AmazonMP3 seems to run very well on the xtr roms, if I am not mistaken. Buy a single album on Amazon's MP3 store and you get 20 GB of music storage for free. They have that new Lady Gaga album (not song) for 99 cents today; even if her music makes you gag, you get that 20 MB of storage for the next year for 99 cents. Not a terrible deal. Perhaps that will take you through until you can upgrade the Eris to a better phone later on, which will run Froyo/GB far better for you?
Yeah, except I will be running Google Music (2.2 and up only), so heading back to the 2.1 based XTR roms is not going to work... and my upgrade is in another year (cripes!).
What about Zeam launcher? Anyone have any luck with that?

Well, that's what I was getting at with Amazon. 20 GB of online storage and you can play music using the Amazon MP3 app from the online storage on the Eris. I know that Google music adds some not-very-good-yet pseudo-genius playlist feature, and 20,000 songs rather than 20 GB, but it's worth a try.

I have heard good things about it. It has to be better than Launcher2, and it's free to try.
Assuming you've fully reformat your SD card, wipe system data/cache/dalvik and delete the .android_secure folder while in Recovery mode with USB enabled before (re)flashing GSB V3.4 - mine is using LP 8.6 (upgraded from 8.5) using default 604/480 setting (or 710 max) but not running SuperCharger V6 scripts - only ATK - and everything is fine for me, including GPS, wifi, Android music player, and MMS, etc.
For equally fast GB rom, check out MacRoms and CM's varied GB ROMs (plus Tazz's) - if you do need/use GPS as they don't work on my hardware/configuration at the moment. All of the developers are busy trying to get it "right" with the latest CM release/patches & workaround - just a matter of time before we get to a "Final Release".
On Workshed's GSB V3.4 - I'm getting around 20 hours moderate usage on a full charge, wifi on mostly and sometimes with BT on for driving, and minimal widgets running - not the greatest but reasonable & to be expected with a 1500 mAH hour HTC battery. You might want to try Shed's FroShedYo 2.3.x ROM (it's a Final Release) as I was on that for a while, stable & reliable & quite speedy.
Good luck !
2.2 is and always has been a resource pig.
2.3 has promise, but still has bugs to work out.
The zepplinrox script has given my friend's Eris a new life, but so far GSB is the best thing I've worked with.
Tazz is working on Sense for GB, if I remember correctly. Still WAY early in the stages for that to be stable for daily use though.
good luck finding what you're looking for. Unfortunately, the Eris is only a v6 processor and there's only so far it can go.

Everybody is different, I guess. This has not been my experience, at all. Just as for example, I always get better battery life, all else being equal, compared with the xtr ROMs.
As far as I know, the only major issue with the Froyo ROMs is a bug in GPS/Navigation, where using an app that pulls GPS data for a long time gets confused data coordinates; the Navigation part of Google Maps stops working, for example. You can reset GPS if you do not do this all that often.

It would be helpful to list the bugs, rather than just say that there are bugs. I am running the latest version of GSB and everything seems to be working just fine for me (though I just installed it yesterday and have not tried Navigation yet.) I suppose that there are minor ones, but right now the xtr ROMs are being plagued with a major calendar bug. It has nothing to do with the xtr build, as far as I can tell - it is happening to people running stock as well - but most likely with the changes that Google made to the calendar to fix the data leak on public WiFi networks. But, basically your phone stops displaying events in your primary calendar. And I tend to have occasional issues with xtrSENSE/xtrROM (and stock) not sounding alarm events when they should, or automatically snoozing them (so they go off 5 minutes later) until the event starts.
Thanks everyone, I ended up flashing CELBFroyo (after flashing GSB, GTazz, OMGB, XTRrom/XTRsense, nonsensikal, and a few others) and sticking with it.
