if i installed cm6.1 or cm7.1 with the same flykernel, would anyone have an opinion as to which phone would be generally more solid/speedy?
i feel a bit frustrated by my experience with cm7.1 and all the ginger based roms, but it seems that many are wowed by the performance.
just looking for some opinons. thanks
i find myself in a similar situation, and am currently on the Heroine++ rom for the sake of speed, but it is quite outdated, and i've been wanting a good 2.2 rom.
anyway, from my expericen, everybody is wowed by 7.1.0 only because of how slow it used to be, it really has come a long way since GB for hit our heros, but it is still a tiny bit too slow and laggy for my liking, and i had some issues with the in call UI not responding fast enough, so i couldn't always answer phone calls or the phone would still vibrate/ring after i'd answered it.
as far as kernel goes, older roms such as 2.1 are better on the older kernel, and newer roms such as GB will probaby be expecting a newer kernel, and therefore run better with it. but i'm not sure how stable the lastest venturas/venturax is compare to flykernel.
anyway, I am rambling.
in short, i think the older roms 2.1/2.2 are the only solid and speedy roms we have, GB is still a bit too slow.
(shame that the least developed roms currently are the 2.2, espcailly the 2.2 sense roms)
Flykernel and cm6.2 cm6.1 ftw, seriously.
I've been alternating between floyo and froydvillain for a while. Froyd is slightly more smoother imo.
And then I put bharat's FroYo port on. It has been VERY good so far. There is even a great ICS theme for it by habarug. Check it out with flykernel.

How's it working for you?
Sent from my HTC Hero using Tapatalk
it's working alright, i do occationally get a force close though.
i'm not sure how the other froyo roms are set up, but this one comes with dithering off, which could explain why it feels snappier (slows down a bit if i turn on the dithering)
finding several apps to do the job of sense is pretty hard though =/ fast dialers on the hero are few and far between.
doubt i'll change it any time soon, unless i break something or chocolatefroyo gets it's carmera fixed.
good rom, not sure how different the froyo roms are though (i have no idea what happpened between cm 6.1.3 and 6.2.0)
anyway this is a little off topic now.

it was my understanding that there was only cm6.1 and cm7.1?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#HTC_Hero_.28GSM.29
for the record my current situation is running cm6.1 with flykernel 13, and using setcpu to overclock. i would say it it like a racecar compared to my experiences on 7.1
still open to thoughts if anyone wants to continue discussing this. ultimately i just want a rock solid phone that is as snappy as possible, and i get frustrated when trying out roms that have various features that work poorly. as a result i have mostly stuck to CM stable releases.

Hmmm, I see your link says otherwise. When I made that statement I was just reading the CM version from the ROM I currently was running. FroydVillain I think. I just re-checked the build.prop and think I got the CM version and the Android OS version mixed together. Whoops.

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 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.. ;-)

I think he is leading in all versions whether sense or Froyo and now even Vanilla
there are a couple of roms i've tried and some i really like...
- modaco repack + oc kernel by behnaam = stable, smooth, good battery life
- kimera 2.1 = super smooth, stable + excellent battery
haven't tried any of the Villain stuff so can't really say anything about their roms...
currently i'm back on Cronos 2.1 with latest kernel; the battery really is excellent ( imho even better then before ) all works really well and smooth.

I think so but I want to try out his new AOSP Eclair but if I am going for Eclair I was thinking about CMH, so I can't decide on which. =\
Cronos 2.1.2 : )
Has Sense and still fast. Of course the ROM I use has to be stable. And it has the 2.1 features, otherwise I would use SenseHero 1.6 that is the best 1.5 ROM for Hero
Ohh... and Feeyo made a 730Mhz step for me; overclock is an important feature
FroydVillain: Because FroYo has so many features that Eclair is missing. And the CM-team (lox) is rather slow to update (I don't count the nightlies in, as they are missing a lot of work)
And now sense isn't on my phone, my battery will last a day longer
Kimera 2.1. I try a lot of ROMs but this one is the best one with Sense UI. Batery life is incredible, it's fastest and smoother 2.1 ROM ever made.
FC = 0!
This is top ROM!

A variety of them because they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Another pathetic question and one which will never have an unbiased answer (aside from mine ).
Fusion ROM 2.2 Froyo, I've tried many ROMS and this is by a long way the best one. In my opinion of course
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
I 'basically' use Cronos 2.1.2 as it is the fastest, smoothest, most stable and least battery hungry 2.1 ROM with Sense. It runs superb with JIT and overclocking.
When I say 'basically' I mean that I have done some tweaks to it myself in order to get FriendStream working and the patched Rosie that allows screen-rearranging in pich-zoomed overview, and have done lots of trimming to it to get rid of stuff that I don't want/need/use to save some memory.
I am currently running kaosfroyo-v36, and its pretty good. I am fairly new to rooting my droid, ive only tried out 2 roms so far and both were fairly good. I understand how rooting works, not quite sure if i get how the kernel works or how to add it to my phone. To get back to my question, What rom do you feel is the most stable rom out thats still speedy?
Thanks!
stability id go with froshedyo
and for speed id go with Dual rom
Thanks for your your input!
IMHO, xtrSENSE and xtrROM are the most stable ROMs out there that I've tried. Everything just works, of course, they're 2.1-based so it doesn't include Froyo features or CM-specific enhancements to Froyo.
I wish I could have the best of both worlds. No offense to anyone. I'm currently using CELBFroyo.
I would definitely go with CELB =) Fast, Stable.
FroShedYo is working Very good for me, upped to version 8. It has decent speed, a great built in CPU monitor and all the goodness of Cyanogen. It is very stable, no crashes in the month or so I have stuck with it. Typical dropped call that isn't really dropped, but it picks back up and does a good job.
I agree on xtrROM. It's super fast and extremely stable. Of course, it's 2.1. I'm on CELBFroyo, and after a week there haven't been any hiccups. It's got nice speed and CPUBoost is a nice addition.
I've also used NonSenSIKal which is pretty solid.
for the most part, its really personal preference. Give some ROMs a test run and see how they work out for you. I've always been switching up ROMs, but I've stuck with CELBfroyo for about a month now, and its running very well for me.
p.s. dont forget to nandroid before you start flashing
Can't tell you why but I've tried quite a few including FroShedYo and CELB but Floyo Tazz has been the fastest/smoothest for me.
Tazz Froyo
I have tried alot of Roms and Tazz Froyo has been my favorite, it has conaps new kernel which helps with battery life and lagging on the phone, built in cpu governors( no need for SetCPU) Gingerbread keyboard, which is very responsive and has a excellent predictive text function, MIUI music which is a updated stock music app, you can make phone calls and send texts from the lockscreen, no complaints at all with the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733897
Nonsensikal is my daily ROM but I have used froshedyo's V6 through V8 as an alt from time to time because it is easy to theme. Both are very stable solid ROMs you'll be happy with either one.
Thanks to everyone who replied! I am now using froshedyo v8 and its pretty quick and i like the fact that it has cayanogen with it.Very cusomizable and fairly quick! Once again thanks to all posters!

workshed, your rom rocks! igot a couple questions about modifying some things.. Themes, icons, wallpaper, fonts, boot image, etc. Where should i post?
Workshed can correct me if I'm wrong but his Rom is very similar to tazzs roms, with floyo being a port from a hero Rom and tazz froyo being allot like sheds Rom. All eris' are different so run what your phone likes the most. Mine likes tazz froyo more than floyo and I haven't had the time to try sheds Rom but I know he did a great job on it.

I'm a big fan of KaosFroyo.. I do always flash the latest CFS kernel over it though. I have tried 4 or 5 other roms as well, but always come back to kaos

Hey,
sorry for the question, many people may hate me now, but reading about roms confuses me much more than it clears up my problems.
I'm using my Hero with Stock 2.1. Now I want to Upgrade to 2.2 or 2.3. Can you please recommend me a ROM which is stable like my stock 2.1 and has FULL functionallity (with Market, Cam and GPS) and Sense.
PS: Should I use 2.2 instead of 2.3, because it's more settled?
Thanks a lot!
There is no rom with 2.2 or 2.3 that has the things you want.
What is the problem stability or functionality?
2 years ago I tried Windows Mobile 6.5 custom and Android 1.5 on my HTC Tytn II - both are stupid. Android was slow as hell and Win Mobile 6.5 crashed once a day. I don't want that back!
Both. No 2.2 or 2.3 Rom with Sense is stable (or at least what I would call stable), and the Camera never works.
My experience is that only Roms based on actual stock HTC Hero Roms are stable, and that will never come for 2.2 or 2.3. They are based on Rom's for similar phones, and they always have something that is unstable or quirky.
I may be surprised, VillainRom is working on something. But I doubt it will be of the same quality as VR12 or VR13.
Pulser is working on a revamp of FroydVillain, with some new features not seen in froyo yet, although it will be a few weeks before it is released as he is busy with exams.

HTC does not release any further updates for the Hero or any device with similar hardware (last one officially supported is 2.1). Therefore, its quite tough, possibly impossible, to get all the hardware working when porting from devices with newer hardware.
CM-based ROMs (non-sense) are fully open source, so it is possible to get them fully functional even though HTC does not support the hero any more. Note, that I am not sure if the GB CM7 has reached 100% stability yet for the hero. I know that elelinux has done tremendous work in this area and I am sure that we are pretty close now.
I am sure that you'll succeed where all others have failed, and am eagerly waiting to try your Sense 2.2+ ROM with all the hardware working.
Until then, please post under Q&A or under the thread relevant for the ROM you are using/interested in....
Mods, please move this to Q&A.
Okay, thank you for your Info. So other way around. Which is the best, most stable full working non-'Sense' Rom for my Hero?
Should I concentrate my searching on 2.2, or are 2.3 Roms settled enough?
If you really want everything working and you don't want to flash a new rom every few days you should try some 2.2 roms. You'll find all roms on my homepage. Read through the description and decide what is the best for you

I've been very happy with Froyd 1.7.2, until I switched back to Sense again. Very fast, very stable.
As far as I know the 2.3 Roms still need some work.
Looks like that last update of [ROM]Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.3 Android 2.3.4 (2011-05-11) is now offering full (non-sense) functionality, speed and stability.
I have Eclipse 1.1 (old I know) it was great when it first came out and I flashed it. But now I need something new bc its not working as good, and I know theres better versions and other ROMs that are possibly better.
Any suggestions on which ROM to flash and why?
Depends on what you want. If you want a fully functional ROM I'd check out the latest edition of Eclipse.
Cyanogenmod 7.2 rc1 has a small amount of bugs, but is for the most part fully functional. HDMI mirroring doesn't work and that's the one and only downside to me. I still use CM7 as a "daily driver" so to speak. Lots of customization and with the hacks/mods found in this forum I get excellent signal strength, connection speeds and battery life. Wifi still sleeps when the screen's off, but with the v3 build.prop mashup it reconnects on waking within seconds every single time.
Cyanogenmod 9 alpha 3 is somewhat buggy as it's in its early alpha stages. There's no camera yet, but DZK already said there will be a fix for alpha 4. Same with aces miui. It's real slick, being on ics. I like it, but won't stay until there's a working camera and more stability. When that happens this rom will be simply amazing. Overall it's pretty sweet and at the very least, worth checking out/playing around with.....
MIUI4 will be awesome too once the bugs are sorted and fixed. As stated before- the next release will also have a working camera. MIUI is probably one of my favorites if not my favorite but right now its way too buggy for me to use. More so than cm9. Couldn't deal with the bugs Ace is hard at work bringing us more updates and when he finally gets this where he wants it MIUI will more than likely replace cm7 as my daily rom. It's a great ROM in general but I couldn't stay on miui for more than like an hour, personally.
Definitely go into each roms topic and check out the screenshots and videos if there are any. Also look for the working features and known bugs/issues. Honestly I say give them ALL a try and see what best suits you. I only really posted about the newer ones. If I remember correctly molten isn't being updated anymore after 2.3 and I keep forgetting liberty even exists, lol.......
Cyanogenmod all day
I started with Eclipse 1.3 and then went to 2.1 running scripts and about everything else with it. Then when CM9 alpha came out, I had to try it. CM9 alpha works great for me. I needed my camera, so I flashed back to CM7. When the beta version of CM9 rolls around, that's gonna be the ticket!
IMHO- CM7
I can't believe how smooth and FAST my phone is with CM7. The camera works great, very little to no lag at all with anything I have found. There's all kinds of customizations for it. I'm not running any scripts, only CM7 and SD Increase from the market. My phone is fun again and I'm not hesitant to show somebody up with a whyphone like I was before. Try it and see.
Also check out this thread for sure!!

Are you pretty good with computers, tech, etc.? If you want a fast update, just flash CM7 since it is on the same kernel as the version of Eclipse you are on. If you try to update to the latest Eclipse, you have to go through the process of using the SBF to get to stock, updating to 2.3.5 then flash the new version. Its up to you though. CM7 and Eclipse are the most stable ROMs we have at the moment until some bugs get worked out in CM9.
Thanks everyone. I am on Eclipse 2.2.1 as of right now (w/speedy script 7 and other tweaks/apps). Ill probably try CM7 in the future since its already on my sdcard.

Just remember you need to be on 2.3.4 before flashing CM7.
Man I don't know what it is but.....
I used to run Eclipse 2.1 and scripted to the 23498457890345th power maxed out turnaround wing dinger squared. I thought it was as good as it could get. But when I went to CM7, I giggled at what I "thought" I had. Hands down the way to go, until CM9
I would use cm7. Just because its stable and has the best UI in my option and has pretty good performance. or you could wait for cm9 to get more stable with a working camera and better performance.
Liberty 3
Just Rooted and Flashed for the first time.
I went with Eclipse 2.2.1 - because the HDMI support was kind of a deal breaker for me. (Netflix, FPSE, SnesEX, etc. on a big screen!) But I was wondering why none of you mentioned Liberty 3? I haven't tried anything other than Eclipse 2.2.1 so I don't have an educated opinion to share, but other than CM7 it seemed like Liberty 3 and Eclipse were the two other "stable" ROMs in the DEV section.
Is Liberty "bad" or do you guys just not use it, and why?
Also, I flashed what I *thought* was the latest build of Eclipse 2.2.1 (from the official thread) but there are only 5 pull down toggles on my notification panel - I thought there were supposed to be 7? Did I miss something?

I went with Eclipse 2.2.1 - because the HDMI support was kind of a deal breaker for me. (Netflix, FPSE, SnesEX, etc. on a big screen!) But I was wondering why none of you mentioned Liberty 3? I haven't tried anything other than Eclipse 2.2.1 so I don't have an educated opinion to share, but other than CM7 it seemed like Liberty 3 and Eclipse were the two other "stable" ROMs in the DEV section.
Is Liberty "bad" or do you guys just not use it, and why?
Also, I flashed what I *thought* was the latest build of Eclipse 2.2.1 (from the official thread) but there are only 5 pull down toggles on my notification panel - I thought there were supposed to be 7? Did I miss something?

I haven't been on eclipse in a while so I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but I thought there was an option in settings to set those.
I can't say for sure why nobody mentioned liberty though, it might be because it doesn't offer much compared to eclipse. Also, it was supported for maybe 2 months max while I'm pretty sure nitro is still pushing out updates for the x2(somebody correct me if I'm wrong).

Depends on what you want. If you want a fully functional ROM I'd check out the latest edition of Eclipse.
Cyanogenmod 7.2 rc1 has a small amount of bugs, but is for the most part fully functional. HDMI mirroring doesn't work and that's the one and only downside to me. I still use CM7 as a "daily driver" so to speak. Lots of customization and with the hacks/mods found in this forum I get excellent signal strength, connection speeds and battery life. Wifi still sleeps when the screen's off, but with the v3 build.prop mashup it reconnects on waking within seconds every single time.
Cyanogenmod 9 alpha 3 is somewhat buggy as it's in its early alpha stages. There's no camera yet, but DZK already said there will be a fix for alpha 4. Same with aces miui. It's real slick, being on ics. I like it, but won't stay until there's a working camera and more stability. When that happens this rom will be simply amazing. Overall it's pretty sweet and at the very least, worth checking out/playing around with.....
MIUI4 will be awesome too once the bugs are sorted and fixed. As stated before- the next release will also have a working camera. MIUI is probably one of my favorites if not my favorite but right now its way too buggy for me to use. More so than cm9. Couldn't deal with the bugs Ace is hard at work bringing us more updates and when he finally gets this where he wants it MIUI will more than likely replace cm7 as my daily rom. It's a great ROM in general but I couldn't stay on miui for more than like an hour, personally.
Definitely go into each roms topic and check out the screenshots and videos if there are any. Also look for the working features and known bugs/issues. Honestly I say give them ALL a try and see what best suits you. I only really posted about the newer ones. If I remember correctly molten isn't being updated anymore after 2.3 and I keep forgetting liberty even exists, lol.......
Cyanogenmod all day

I totally agree with this guy. It all depends on what you want out of your phone. If you can sacrifice the extra cool doohickies I say CM9 all the way cause alpha 4 just came out and it's pretty sweet, working camera too.

The toggles are scrollable. You have to scroll to the right to see the rest.

I loved cm7 as my first and only rom but my 3g sucks,dolphin force closes, camera is buggy etc I'm going to reflash before jumping to eclipse which I've heard is most stable ...
I loved cm7 but the broken orientation sensor in the kernel killed it for me. I now run eclipse 2.2.1. It was a bugger to get installed. Having to wipe cache at a different point than instructions indicate. And also I have a little touch-screen delay.
