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.
This is my attempt at a ROM for the Amaze. I never claim to be a Devloper. I am learning as i go. If the devs have some advise hit me up.
It is for unlocked boot loader and you have to have CWM/TWRP recovery installed.
this my personal ROM and i dont use all this stuff so i removed it just sharing with you guys/gals

crackeyes - will try this later today. i especially would like to see how a streamlined ROM with some tweaks would run and if it would improve battery llife. I am getting less then 1/2 the life of OC'd G2X at 1500 on CM7 and Miui plus stock is slower then hell.
Question - just how did you get s=off? I went the boot loader/perm root path, and have not seen an s=off thread.

Nice first try, but by basing it on 1.35 it seems to have carried over the problems I had with 1.35 (the one posted not the one on my device). That was no WIFi, hot spot, Bluetooth work at all.
I found it is faster then the stock, and it looks like it has good potential. I am going to nandroid it and hopefully you will release a latter one that has these fixed.
Minor request - really liked an alternative lock screen layout on the stock ROM - anyway to bring these over?

Weird My wifi works, my bluetooth works for music and calls and have not tried hotspot. Sounds like you may have a weird hardware issue. Im not saying my rom is perfect but it seems like every OM you try other than stock it is giving you these errors
As for the lockscreens I suggest Widget Locker it has many different themes for it and different lock styles. Its like 3 bucks
I will look into these issues and see if anyone else is having them
it might be due to another issue that has been brought up in another thread. it has been stated that possibly the boot.img are not flashing when a ROM is flashed and that the one on board remains. That could explain why I cannot get a 1.35's to work - I may still have the 1.36 bootimg on.
I asked the poster who said this lack of flashing could be the result of NOT having s=off (the required permissions are not there) but got no response. It had also been stated earlier that unlocked boot loader and perm root would not allow kernels to be flashed (the y are primarily a boot.img) - so this may support the s=off issues.
If this is the case, we need to get s=off, or maybe have ROMs including kernels packaged so they will flash as an update in hboot like Xboarder's earlier rescue ROM.
Lucky you - how did you get an s=off shipped anyway.

That is a good theroy and very understandable. as for the s-off it is luck of the draw i guess, I have had a sensation, and amaze with ship off
This rom runs pretty darn good except for the wifi issue. From reading the install procedure, did you actually make this to flash straight over the stock rom or are we supposed to wipe like usual before we install this? I wiped everything than installed and wifi doesn't work at all. I'm just curious as if this could be why.

So I purchase the app yesterday and so far is working great is a good concept for those that like ASOP roms but dont want to give up the 3D feature...
How does it work?
gflam said:
If i told you that i'd have to kill you...
Nah it basically just makes imgs on your sdcard and creates file systems on it then the rom is extracted to the imgs and the boot.img of the rom is edited to tell what to mount. That's the basic idea but it's obviously a lot more complicated then that.

V3.2
Changed 4 sd slots to infinite slots!

ROMs do not need market installed for boot manager to run (requires updating boot manager in all slots)
Hide su toasts (superuser elite only)
Fix for force close when setting screen shot in MIUI rom's
Thunderbolt defaulted to force large boot.img
Fixed unsupported device using a key
Sms and Call Log synced between ROMs (you choose what ones too also requries updating boot manager in all slots)
I'm using it ha my evo 3d has this setup
Phone ROM: MIUI
Slot 1: Cyanogenmod

Gonna say you're using miui when you go to switch the image we've already found that miui gallery handles things different/weirdly it's been fixed for a while now and is in the next update we've just been wrapped up in this other app we're working on. We plan to release next week and then we'll be working on a tool box for Sourcery ROM which is coming soon to the gnex and i originally did with eagle1967 on the droid1. Anyway hopefully we'll have the fix out for miui gallery very soon just been really busy for now just boot to another rom that isn't miui and change the image there.
Also let me know if it's not miui gallery although i'd be surprised if it wasn't
=========================
As for the class 4 card i only run sd roms lately and i'm using a class 2 card and heck if i can run one of these roms on a class 2 card and not complain about speed you should be golden on a class 4 the only thing that matters is finding your sd booster speed once found you should be able to run smoothly on any card

What is the easiest way to install CM9 on a fresh HP Touchpad? I have searched and found tutorials, but they are mostly outdated and for CM7.
I played around a little with webOS and do not like it. I did a master secure erase to put it back to stock. I want to install CM9. Can someone lead me to an updated thread? Once I get CWM on there, I am good to go.
Been flashing my Behold 2, Vibrant, and Galaxy II for a while. Getting CWM on here seems like a chore...
Thanks.
You're first install still needs to be with acme installer, so go to the official cm9 thread and follow those directions. After the initial install you can use Clockwork

Thanks you two. I just got CM9 up and running. I read that there is a market issue and two zips were created to fix resolution problems and enable the market. What did you guys do?
I did not use either resolution zips. Its a preference thing....if u think he icons look like they were made for a senior citizen u might want to look into the 160 zip....I am satisfied with the stock resolution.....only weird thing is in portrait you get an extra row of app icons....again I just set the default to not auto rotate in display settings and wallah ....again tis a preference as is most of the android experience. Play around with things and if u feel so inclined to experiment one suggestion would be to backup your current from via clockwork mod recovery.
I am fairly new to the Android scene, and even newer to the rooting scene as well.
I am a A+ computer tech, that said I know nothing about Android, rooting or customizing the interface and am learning daily, I have been told by associates that the xda forums are the best resource for finding stable usable custom ROMs and information,
so I enrolled to pick some brains and hopefully learn a few things.
now since my ability to search forums has always has always been "top notch", (Pinocchio's nose got nothing on me by that statement), I'm sure I'll be asking questions that have been asked a bunch of times, I respectfully ask that in stead of flaming me, please just post a link to the proper forum post and I will be greatly appreciative.
question 1.
where do I find a rom install guide for idiots, primarily for a galaxy player 5.0 YP-G70
question 2.
what is the most stable and fully functional ROM for my YP-G70, when I say fully functional I mean camera and all, as I have been reading there are issues with newer ROMs with the back facing camera, and I need the camera to be fully functional as I use it almost daily at work for lables and assembly/disassemby pictures., I've heard that Cyanogenmod is one of the best out there, is there a fully functional and stable version that will work with my YP-G70?
question 3.
an idiots guide for what can be accomplished by rooting and how to do it, such as turning off adds, removing or moving stock programs and settings etc.
there will always be more questions but I won't push the noob envelope to much, these three are my most pressing

I'm running CyanogenMod 10.2 (4.3.1) and I'm able to use the back camera via High-Speed Camera (there are probably other apps, but this is the one I'm using). I don't know if it works with the other ROMs (and I don't see why it wouldn't), so someone else will have to get back to you w/that one.

The short answer here is stick with stock. The rear facing camera has been a problem on every ROM, except stock based roms. There are some workarounds but If you need good quality photos from rear cam then stock based is your only solution...
Thank you both for the info and direction.
I know to keep something stock is to keep it original.... but what do you mean stock based? an original ROM that has been stripped but the core and drivers are the same?
and what stock based ROM would you recommend for my GP5.0 yp-g70 that might give me a little better performance and nice appearance?
also I haven't had a chance to explore all the information yet, but can someone give me a link to a good source of direction on how to use titanium backup, or some other app to back up my device, OS and apps so if I should get something not to my likeing I can revert back to original.
and thanks again for no flaming

Scroll down to "5.0 (stock based)"
"Stock based" simply means a modified stock ROM. "stock" sort of meaning; a ROM from the manufacturer. I haven't personally tried any of the stock based ROMS. They may have issues. Im only saying that it is the stock and stock based ROMS that have the potential to have a fully working rear cam. You have to read in each post to find out if there are issues.
