What is the most stable HERO ROM?

I'm looking for a stable, pure HERO ROM. What I mean by pure is no blur garbage (red colors or bouncing) or custom boot screens. Recently we've had a flood of new HERO ROM's posted by various different people. Ironically, these ROM's have had the exact same issues i.e. flash not working. Which makes me beg the questions, is there just one solid developer of these HERO ROM's and just a bunch of biters? That's neither here nor there. I just want a stable, pure HERO ROM. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

akirah's hero2 1.51

ahhh man. I didn't want people's random opinions. I just want the facts. I will try akirah's out. I'm just so sick of flashing hero roms. I think i've flashed all the popular ones. We just got 3-4 new hero roms in the past day or so. Really fast, just the fact that most of them are missing flash is a huge let down. That to me is basic HERO ROM guts.

i think for the most part that the most stable hero rom is still hero2 1.51. why make a thread if you do not want opinions?

I tried both, they don't have flash. Dude, i've flashed all the new ones in less then a 24hr period. I'm done with this "new" garbage. I'm going to try this akirah's and call it a night. hmphf!

Thanks for your "help" but as I posted in the beginning of this, flash does not work in 80% of the new posted HERO Rom's. Thanks anyway.

You could wait for a leaked sholes/elcair rim that has flash 10 and android 2.O

don't you love these "opinions" saying wait for a port isn't really a solution to a hero rom problem. or is it? i don't know very much, at all. never will.

@david1171
LOL! Yeah, this akirah hero2 is working out just fine. I like the fact that you can simply upgrade the rom without wiping. It's the first hero rom i've seem to do that. Awesome!

special thanks goes out to brian_v3ntura for recommending hero2 1.51, it is what he has said in almost every hero thread, so i would imagine it to work.

Quick question: Is the problems that I was having in KingKlick's 2.0 ROM
- GPS location not working (thinking my current city was "Denver" - when I'm in AZ)
- Paid applications not showing in market/downloading
Normal of all Hero ROMs? Or should I give some of the other ones a shot?

Cannon Complete vs OpenEclair: Best ROM

Best Eclair Rom in your opinion,
Cannon Complete or OpenEclair.

OpenEclair hands down lol.

I like Cannon ;D whoever gets video first wins, which will be open eclair probably though...

when is a poll not a poll
when its not a poll
@TheDeadWalk,
can you edit OP and set as a Poll ?

about to flash 1.2.2 OE
I tend to not keep OE roms for long, I have a look see and drop, King's ROMs are much better imo.. and since CaNNon's was King based....
I was on Complete Eclair until King's Hero Eclair ( which is very nice )
but as I said flashing OE 1.2.2 , but I do read it has lots of stability problems, and isn't all that fast..... we shall see.
for the moment with a choice between OE and CE its CE easy
having said that CE 1.2 had problems ( Wifi, FB Contacts ect ) but if you read the thread I got round them quite quickly

i tried making a poll but have no idea how lol
if youd let me know how its done ill make it happen.
personally, im using CE right now with SetCPU @ 528 and its
quite quick!
Muuuuuuuuuch better than the laggy xRom build i had before.
with xRom, SetCPU would slow it down even more for some reason!

same here, i havent tried openeclair yet, but i like what i see in cannon's so far, so i'm not going to really change until a major update like working video/youtube comes out

More importantly how do you remove Eclair?
I've put Cannon on my wifes and now I can't get rid of it!!
Cyanogen Nanfroid will not restore and you can't wipe and flash another rom as you get a bootloop.
Frustrated.

Did you wipe everything?
If so. Backup everything on the phone and then partition it again.
Just a safety measure

So im still on Cannons Eclair w/ SetCPU at Min:528 ; Max:528 and its running pretty smoothly.
hows everyone else running?

canon's eclair is pretty nice and smooth , i havent tried open eclair yet, but i think the next version will be promising and stable, also as i mentioned in another thread, canon and kings eclair seem to only have partially working led's as they tend to turn off when the screen is on for notifications, supposedly openeclair has fully working leds...not that that has anything to do with performance lol. but if you can mind the partial leds, canons is faster at the moment from what ive heard

Need to flash the Defanged DRC83, then without rebooting flash the CM Rom you are after, as per instructions here

I swear there was an identical thread just last week o_o' Cannon has firerat's patch for 3D and video but openeclair will probably take over in the next update xD

FIXED
well that was easy...
just follow the instruction on the cyan wiki for flashing from a different rom to 4.2
simples

This same thing will happen if you flash cm5 and then try to nandroid or switchrom back to a previous rom. It'll hang on the G1 screen. Make sure you wipe and you'll be fine.

Could you be more specific on what guide you used I can't find what your talking about on CM website. I'm having the same issue only I can only get JesusFreke Rom to work. I'd like to put CM or ANY other ROM on my phone, JF ROM slowly causes my Answer, Home and Back keys to stop working...

I'll give you the gist of what the guides tell you.
Follow the OP and flash the defanged base first: http://www.mediafire.com/?nymkxjmndzd
Flash the rom.
The fact people are having problems with months after this has been commonplace for flashing Cyanogen roms gives me almost no hope for the future.

Alright Thanks

This does not belong in the development section. Moved.

calling all devs, i need your help!

as most of you know im going to be building a new 1.5 rom based off of gumbo 1.5c. i want to give the phone as much of an aosp/nexus style as possible. the bad news is there is no white stock taskbar themes out there for 1.5.
SO... im asking one of our talented devs to create one or port one to work on a 1.5 based rom. i will of course give you full credits. PM me if you interested!

I know what you're going for, but the reason we haven't done it is when you try to change the clock text in the taskbar it will bootloop. And if there is a way to do it, it would be a pain and there really aren't that many people here that are still on 1.5... I hope someone helps you out though. I would try but I(along with a lot of other people) hate working on things that I personally will not use.

im back & forth between 1.5 & 2.1 but i have several members interested in running a new 1.5c rom. damn i was hoping i could get that white taskbar too.
just something to play with until 2.1 officially drops ya know! actually according to the 1.5 & 2.1 customization page that godzon made there is a white theme that works on 1.5 but it's only for damage based roms. i just need this ported to work on a gumbo based rom.

that's what it says but i think it was for a damage based 1.5 rom. i tired to flash it and it caused a boot loop. i think it needs to just be ported to work on a gumbo based 1.5c/ pancake rom.

well you should let godzson know about that then. so theres no chance of this being ported then?
well ****.... maybe ill take pancake 2.1 or gumbo 2.1 and work with that then, i like the aosp feel.

Didn't know it was labeled as such until you pointed it out...
If the framework on your version of 1.5 is odexed (has .odex files in the /system/framwork), it is no small task to pull off, as the whole entire framework would first need to be deoxeded, so that you could then edit the services.jar file.
It's feasible, but not realistic, if this is the case, given that it's 1.5.

[Q] Froyo by Laszlo Questions (More at bottom)

Hello there, I recently flashed CM6 to my G1 and used Zeam for a faster launcher, but friends are telling me that when they used CM6, their phone got slower and slower as time went on, and that I should seek alternatives.
I hear one of the best Android 2.2 roms out there is Froyo by Laszlo, and from reading it seems the only major difference is that it can use the more recent radio/spl/kernel which adds 15MB, and that it's generally lighter than CM6 as well.
Can anyone give me a rundown on what some of the other major differences are? I also hear other good ones are ezterry's AOSP and Froyo for Trout.
As for upgrading the Radio and SPL needed for Froyo by Laszlo:
Considering I have DangerSPL (HBOOT-1.33.2005), RA's Recovery, and Radio 2.22.23.02, is there anything extra I need to worry about other than what's outlined in this thread?
Thanks in advance.

Your pretty much good with everything on the radio and spl, but check out the original thread just to make sure:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139

I did look at the thread, but it still doesn't say what makes it so different.
I suppose the best way to know for sure is to try it for myself, so thanks for clarifying.

I have not tried froyo by laszlo, but i have tried cm6 , so i cant tell what the difference is, but another major difference is that froyo by laszlo has apps2sdext, which allows you to install apps in a ext3 or ext 4 partition on your sd card, while cm6 does not.

I noticed that, does it set up the partitions for you, or will I have to do this myself? What would a good size for them be?

its on page 3, but the whole thread might be helpful

Okay, thanks for that, I'm going to try it now.
EDIT: Last question, does the updated kernel for 2708 come pre-installed with Froyo by Laszlo or does that have to be done separately as well?
EDIT2: D'oh, nevermind, I saw it in the features list. Right now it's booting, hope it works!
EDIT3: Wow, they weren't lying, Laszlo did a great job, it's lightning fast! I'm not partial to the theme choice, but I know this can be changed easily.
Thanks for your help.
I do have a few more questions though;
1. How do I revert to the Android 2.2 Google Market? The new one feels a bit too cluttered to me, and flashing CM6 Google Apps did not change this
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I simply ended up replacing the lock screen with Froyo's, as well as tweaking the status bar (making it a gradient rather than solid black, for example)

ok my personal opinion... froyobylaszlo the BEST froyo rom hands down... only issue i find is that the developer stopped updating soo you can take it upon yourself to make changes if you dont like it.. but still to this day i thinks its the best.. sorry to offend anyone by saying that but its only my personal opinion... lazslo rom is just so smooth and stable..
my sd was 128mb swap and 1024mb ext4 and i used this kernel... http://www.4shared.com/file/1j_4eg7x/ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_.html
honestly you will love this rom but i recomend upgrading your radio and hboot... can follow this guide or the one you posted earlier by habbitat22, they are kinda the same..
