Hey I was looking for a new ROM on my new G1. I would like something with a nice digital clock widget, a messaging widget, and just many downloadable widgets. My brother has Hero on his G1 and I love, the only problem is that I don't like the fact that if you slide it up it just freezes... So are there any somewhat similar to Hero but can slide?

As of right now, no. This is because the actual Hero doesn't have the keyboard, and so when you slide it up, it tries to force Rosie into widescreen which it doesn't support, ergo, the crash. You'll just have to live with it. However, Drizzy has been making some progress with that and has actually gotten Rosie to run with the keyboard open though it crashes and then reloads Rosie when you open the keyboard. He said he'd look into it more so follow his twitter for more info.
EDIT: Forgot to say. Hero ROM's are the only one with a messaging widget. You can download the Digital Clock widget from the market for a small price. I don't know the name of the widget exactly, just do a search for it in the theme section, it was mentioned in there a few times i believe.
There aren't any messaging widgets like the one on the Hero roms. You can download ANY widget to any rom though, just search the market for widgets and see what you find. Hero shouldn't freeze when you "slide up" whatever that means, if your talking about the keyboard when your on the home screen that is because they don't rotate, only in programs. If you mean some other type of slide then most likely your brother didn't do a proper linux-swap partition or it is to small. Anyway you need to just try the different roms and see what you like best, also some themes offer extra widgets and features but remember you can get any widget to any rom, just not the Hero/HTC Rosie widgets because HTC's stuff is closed source so we can't port it.
Ok thanks guys. So can I have the original and like non experimental link to hero. I use to search box and only find mods of it, and I guess I am just iffy on the mods. Anybody mind giving me the link to the newest and best quality ROM for Hero? Thanks In Advance

The modded ones are the best ones. The unmodded original is veryyyyy slow compared to the new ones. I would try JACHeroski 2.1 or MoDaCo 1.51 are both fast, stable choices.

All heros are technically "experimental". I haven't messed with the new Drizzy. I'm still putting JacHeroSki 2.1 throught it's paces. I can recommend it. There are people who like each of the different incarnations of hero.
What I suggest is going to the DEV section and read. Decide on your own. Hell, you can flash them all with switchrom. Have some fun and learn some cool stuff.
so good roms

Switchrom for the win. Seriously.. haha Yeah JACxRom is pretty decent. But as far as hero have you tried HERO2 - Freedom of choice? If not I think you'll be impressed. I flash FoC when it was first released and it wasn't anything to write home about but now? Dang.. it's fast. Wicked Fast. Try it out!

Ok so I basically tried all keyboards that are on the market.. I have swype and slide it as well.. But I find myself going back and forth between all my keyboards and can not get comfortable sticking with one. I use a keyboard for like a week, if that, and switch to another one or search for hopefully a newest one. Its like I can't find one that suits me..
Does anybody have any recommendations on this??
Thanks for your help =)

I find Swype the easiest...Anyway keyboard choice is just everyone's personal preference. Just use one you find comfortable.
I like swype but don't like how you have to go over certain letters twice for a particular word such as; "choosing", "messages", " button", etc...
If I had to pick between SlideIt or Swype, I would have to go with SlideIT.. But I don't like how you have to press the "?123" button for symbols and numbers.
I agree that swype is easier, but I guess I'm jus to picky lol..
swype for me as well. but i saw something about this guy installing the droid x keyboard on his nexus. it has multi touch... i believe he also got the apk somewhere in here.

You don't have to go over them twice. You can just scribble on the letter. Go look at swype hints and tips. They got some really neat things to speed up texting.
But I use swype or better keyboard.

I forgot I was in a Nexus forum. :X I probably need to take my post-happy self back to the Dream. Either way, go look at their tips and tricks. If you can memorize them all and learn to use them out of habit... NO ONE you know without Swype will be able to text faster than you.
AS for built in keyboard, I like it. It has NICE response speed and when every other keyboard lags, it doesn't. Like you said, though, the keys are just too small. :|

I too am a fan of swype. Although the Desire keyboard is a pretty nice alternative...

... Hahahaha! that made my night, i needed that laugh lmao
i knew the basics of swype and had swype for awhile now and i guess i didnt know about other tricks and what not, thanks for sheadin some light on that.. ill go check them out now.. im sure its on the swype website, so thats where ill look first =]
Again, thanks! i hope i can get used to this swype thing because i find myself thinking where to slide my finger when using slideit and swype.. when i just use a regular keyboard my fingers seem to jus "flow" like its just reaction (if that makes sense).. i know where all the keys are based on memory so i dont think about it when i type, swype on the other hand.. I do lol.
Im sure its just a learning curve.. so when i get frustrated doing swype, ill stick to it and not switch to another keyboard so itll become 2nd nature..
... All in all i appreciate it man, ima go check out the tips now lol
Time to beat that record!! haha.. =]

... I didnt know like 85% of what i just saw about swype!! HOT DAM!
Im really gonna push myself into learning Swype to its full potential now! OMG...
Swype is faster in portrait mode, plus it feels very natural once you're used to it. On the downside, typos are a pain to redo, usually requiring you to retype the whole thing. Plus, there's almost no spellcheck ability.
In landscape, I can type faster with Better Keyboard. I'd wish they'd incorporate the punction in the suggestion bar, but I'm good with press and hold.
I love Swype. I switched to it about a week ago and I can type really fast!!
I was using HTC_IME and I still might be using it if it supported multitouch. I'm waiting for the Droix X keyboard to be ported over, that looks promising.

I haven't yet seen ANY keyboard on my Nexus (2.1, stock, not rooted) work with multitouch.. I use HTC IME that was modified from here to include smileys and a few other things.. Works well for me.
If you looking for a non swype style keyboard, I really like Smart Keyboard Pro. Its my daily driver, although I do also have Swype installed.

Does "- Some text in some buttons are not white (I have been unable to fix this and I probably won't)"
Mean that on some buttons it's not possible to read the text and therefore the function of the button?

Yes but it is very few buttons and only in some particular apps. The text can be read but it is very unclear. You can go in the Gmail app and the show pictures button for example has this issue
Hi ComputerFreak. I have just installed Black Perfection 2.1 on my Elelinux 1.9 ROM and I really like the looks of it. However, all texts are in black... even the ones at the top of the screen (notifications, time, etc.). It is different from the screenshots you show. Please tell me how to change the font colours to white! Maybe a tiny patch will work??
Thanks in advance!
Really appreciate your hard work!

Hey thanks for the CMTheme.zip file. I rebooted my phone and now everything looks perfect!
But now I have another problem... I installed the special theme HTC_IME mod keyboard and it works great. However, every single time I reboot it is gone and I have to reinstall from the .apk file..
I'm not sure if it's because of the CMTheme.zip file or the Black Perfection Theme itself. Maybe they cause to keyboard to revert to its original?
Sorry I have to trouble you again..!

i know there are things all over the place. and i cant find any other themes than the ones from your signatures still other than ones that are for different keyboards. anyways is there any way to get this theme over to the gingerbreak keyboard?
Thats a swype skin, not sure how the png's line up. You could get 7zip, an auto signer, and gimp or photoshop and make your own. It isn't difficult.

I have no idea what u mean with keyboard stuff.
It´s all about theming applications and that´s what u want - in your case, the keyboard application.
you should read some of those links...
