Hey, I was wondering what the fastest Hero build is (With the least lag). The thing is, I desperately want Hero on my phone but also desperately hate the lag that it comes with. So yeah, thanks in advance.
Cyanogen + Hero theme isn't enough for me. I want the real thing!!!
JACHero =) The latest version with Optimized Rosie. Make sure you have a class 6 sdcard for best results!
I've tried JACHero. D: I may be asking for too much, but is there a way to make it even faster? Because it was still up to a 20 second freeze before I could switch screens at Home. And yep, got my 8 gb class 6 sdcard rigth here .
Hm..try over clocking to 528MHZ? and use swapper too.
Use JacHero 2.3.3
Enable swapper 32/10 at /system/sd/swapper.swp
JacHero is already overclocked so dont worry bout that
Use only 3 home screens and minimize the widgets on those three. I suggest using clock twitter (if u use it) and messaging widgets.
That worked perfect for me with no lag at all. Use adb to remove any widgets that you dont use. That got me to 40mb of internal space which made it really fast soooooo ya
Good Luck!
PUSH the Rosie (optimized) by coolbho3000 to hero It's been heavily compressed and reduced in size so should run faster. You can try Drizzy's hero remix too and someone has hero with cyanogen's kernel which should IMO run veryy fast. We'll find out soon. Until then what can be done to speed things up have already been stated in this thread
Enable swapper

Hey guys I really want to try throttle launcher for my tilt, but have a few questions. Does this install like flashing a rom, or are their drivers that need to be installed individually first? Also, how stable is the most recent version? I will be using this as everyday software, so I want to make sure it is stable. Also, what is the most recent version and where to I get it? I searched, but couldn't find a definitive answer for where to find it since not many people have posted about it recently for the Kaiser. Thanks.
Were to get Throttle Launcher
I cant tell you anything about it except I saw it on youtube. I use Manilla, it is a cab not a Rom. You do not have to flash it onto your phone. It is a Today Screen type pluggin just like the HTC one that comes with the Tilt.
Here is were you can get Throttle LAuncher though.

all you have 2 do is download the throttle launcher 9.5 beta, unzip and instal both the cab files, its that easy, and if you have anymore questions please feel free to pm me!
go here
i recommend downloading directly from the developer @ www.throrrlelauncher.com
ops sorry www.throttlelauncher.com
Thanks so much. I uploaded it and it works pretty well, but I can't get things to auto update even when the option is selected. I also was wondering if there is a way to get the d-pad to work so I can scroll to different screens like Manila M2D. One last thing, I only have 8mb of space on my device, should I uninstall throttle launcher and reinstall on the SD card? Thanks.
I have tried this application yesterday and found it way too buggy for my taste. It puts my phone to a snail pace oftenly and the config app kept crashing after the first use, rebooting the phone resovled it. The Contacts tab is too limited and getting it to scrool through the list was a chore. Is there a way to change the clock for the home tab to look like the ones in the Widgets?
Considering this is a free beta software, its pretty good but keeping this version off my Tilt till the next version at best.
So im currently running JACHero 2.7.3 and its amazing! I love all the widgets, but i really cant afford for my phone to be locking up on calls and still having some Force close issues. ive tried reinstalling it near 4 times already. I have a class 6 card, tried 32 mb swap and 64 mb swap, and have an 8 gig card. If it just hung going from email or text id be ok but i cant really be missing calls.
so my question is, whats the difference between JACHero and Cyanogen. From what i understand Cyan doesnt run rosie (which i dont really have a clear understand what that is). But i was looking in the homescreen page and it looks like Cyans' rom can still use the widgets and most people say it runs much faster.
Can anyone confirm, and update me on the situation. thanks in advance!
Um you have a lot of reading to do my friend. JACHero ROM is based on the Hero phone made by HTC. It has nearly 100mb more RAM (memory) than the g1 so of course it will run slower. Hero ROMS are almost 20mb more in size than cupcake ROMS. Cyanogen's ROMS are heavily optimized cupcake ROMS that are built for speed. It's not possible to port over the widgets without porting over Rosie/Sense UI. Sense/Rosie requires alot of the HTC frameworks and unless someone can recode them and use Google's frameworks porting them is impossible. If you want a quick speedy ROM with lots of cool features go with Cyanogen. He includes the HTC Camera, exchange mail, and I *think* HTC Music. You can also flash lots of cool themes like Kspec Customs by brandenk and some other goodies too. Most theme devs are making cyanogen-compatible themes because most of the community has flocked to cyanogen's speedy speedy ROMS. If you want a rather bloated but "prettier" ROM go with Hero. The lag you are seeing is probably from having too many widgets running on the home screen. Hope that long description helped I suggest reading the OP of both JACHero and Cyanogen's ROMS. You'll learn alot more there.
Cyanogen is probably the fastest rom to date. Rosie is basically the user interface that you see. The menu tab at the bottom, all the widgets, basically the architecture of the system. Meh I won't go into details since i'm not a person who makes ROMs. But after using JACHero and Cyanogen, I'd stick with cyanogen based on speed, reliability, battery life, and being able to use different themes other than hero.
If I were you, make a nandroid back-up of your current stable ROM and just flash to a cyanogen rom and see how it works for you. Try it out for a day or 2. If you're like me, you really don't need to charge the g1 for a couple days.
Google ION and Cyanogen are the two best ROMS out on XDA for the G1.
Ok I been reading these forums for quite some time now over and over I'm always reading that this here feature or that app can't be add to that Rom because it needs to be a Google or HTC Rom. For example the IM app can't be added to any HTC Rom do to the frame work and other stuff but can easily be installed on the Google Roms. My question is shouldn't we be able to take a lot of features/apps of these HTC Roms and and with a few libs and build on another HTC build. Example. I'm running Haykuro's 5.0.2h shouldn't I be able to take features/apps/libs from hero and port some things over or vice versa? I'm just asking cause I love 5.0.2h cause its stable and the features are one of a kind flake the zoom on the camcorder no othee Rom has it that ive seen but I love the contact sync with Facebook that hero has and some other things. Id k could just port them over to each other it would be a great Rom can it be done they both HTC roms ?
Just bout every rom now has zoom for the camcorder and camera. I haven't found a rom that doesn't.
I dont remember it on the hero rom, the cupcake adp roms ( i didnt try jf's) i just flash back from ion which didnt have it, haykuro's 5.0.2g didnt have it, i mean i can go on for days. They didnt have zoom for the camcorder i have videos i have made but back to the question please. If you not going to post an answer you can keep your 2 cent and move to the next post and waste your time there thank you.
i like your question and idea, i hope u actually get some constructive feedback now instead of hearing how this that or this..good lookin out

Thanks alot man for the support I was just reading how some people took the Exchange emailing app/libs from the Rogers Rom and put it on their phone so there's got be quite easy to take features from hero and maybe even donut (if its HTC) and put them on my 5.0.2g

I'm on hero and have zoom, been on the dudes build (cupcake) and that has zoom. I mean I can go on for days to. And to answer your question as long as its the same based rom (htc or google) you should be able to port over.
Ok well if its so easy as people say then im wondering why people are having such a hard time porting over apps widgets, programs, etc from hero (not rosie). I would like to have the text, stock, weather widget, the contacts that sync with facebook, the browser with flash, and many more "hero" features on 5.0.2h. I mean they all htc frame work and i know some programs depend on the frame work of the rom but there has to be a easy way around it for non developers like me and others. Also if someone does know of a way can you show steps in the terminal emulator I'm in the hospital and don't have my laptop with me

The stuff you want ported over can't be done yet. If you want the weather widget they have one that looks like it but not the same.
OKay i have been running drizzy and JACs v3r2 Hero ROM for sometime....its gotten a bit slow even when I have a 96 mb linux-swap...theres also a flash player glitch...when i use it...all the standard htc apps force close randomly (music,gapps, etc...just not the browser) and then I dont even exit the browser and i cant even hit the force close buttons for those popups...so I cant use the flash in the browser and it sends me straight to a htc loading screen...so, I absolutely need flash so which New ROM should I flash?????
I want one that doesnt lag, and has as few problems as possible, and I need flash player fixed...also, should i just stick with a 64 mb linux partition or is 96 okay??
I am sorry its a long post but I need a full answer

I've been running JACxHEROv1.2 and it's working just fine. I haven't had any issues except for every once in a while it'll have to load the home screen. Other than that perfect. Also try and keep in mind that the HERO roms are all going to have some querks for a while. I still think it's wicked impressive that we're running a phone on our phone.. (reminds me of xibit)
I like all the cyan builds and JACxROM. I would love to run Hero myself but it's just too slow. I mean the aesthetics are great but to me it's like running a nice looking macbook with a celeron processor vs an i7 processor in an old lenovo laptop
Well if you're looking to have hardcore themes, flash the Cyanogen builds (the themes make me want to switch to CM but i just cant get off the Sense UI ). I currently have JacxHero v1.2 which is extremely fast with fat32/ext3/Linux-swap, haven't seen the HTC logo loading screen yet .

ok ill guess ill flash that...v3r2 restarts like 5 times a day and i have no control over it....and i have to do battery pulls for it to restart properly...ill try jacxhero 1.2 then until drizzy and jac make v3 versions of their 5 new ROMs.btw should I use 32 mb linux swap or should I stick with 96 mb swap

96mb seems like a little much, it could cause instability
either 32 or 64 should be fine (32 may be better but ive read that people have gotten it to work just fine w/ 64mb)
Ive tried 32,48 and 64. I've seen an noticeable improvement between 32 and 64. If you want to play it safe just go with 48, 96/128 sound like they'd be way too unstable.
this is for all those who are searching for the next hero rom they want to try, and also for us to be able to make some sort of judgement with relation to the popularity and usability of "a certain hero rom"...
i wanted to make a poll, but it would be too hard to include all the hero roms out there..
make it plain and simple guys...
i'll start...naturally
i'm switching between two roms(got them both nandroided
- jacxheroski 2.2r4 remix
this one's really nice and fast, works as advertised, but i would advise not to fill all the screens(7) with widget and stuff, cause it would start rebooting sometimes...i suggest 4 screens max...
- a version of jachero called superlite 2.7.3
this one comes without sense, BUT, you get to have all the htc hero applications, and its as fast as the best cupcake build i'v tried, and you can also flash the 10mb hack, and it also comes with flash for the browser... leds don't work tho
who's next
