Ok I'm currently running JACxHero 1.1 but I'm considering downgrading and I wanna know which is the best ROM to use I've used cyanogen but I'm considering a magic Rom instead but I also wanna put my ext3 partition to work as well as my Linux-swap so any suggestions.

1) Most hero ROMs automatically use the linux-swap partition, most 1.5 builds do not because it isn't really needed. Same with A2SD, depends on the ROM. Have a look in the release notes in the thread. Most ROMs do use you ext partition for apps automatically, but some don't.
2) Peep and weather are exclusive to Hero ROMs, I don't know a Hero ROM that doesn't include them. You can't get those apps or the widgets for them on 1.5 builds.
3) (Crazy) people (I kid, I kid) have asked about WinMo before on the G1 before, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Apparently WinMo doesn't even support the 320x480 resolution the G1 uses, not to mention we would need drivers for everything.
I have downloaded the apps_s.zip and the hero-signed.zip files to put hero rosie on my g1 but i cant figure out how to get it on...
also, is hero rosie better than cyan3.9.10?
does it have features like multitouch and apps2sd?
honestly... you actually asked this... i think all hero roms now put app_s in the ext2/3/4 partition to start with and all of them have a2sd on initial setup with you only having to have second partition. did you read nothing from the thread you got the rom from. unless it is the one haykuro posted a few months back. which hero rom is it. no it will not be faster than the cyanogen rom.
yes should have multi-touch browser as well

did you read this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534461
hero does runs slower than cyanogen, yes. choose cyanogen if you want functionality at the blink of an eye and if you want a lot of themes. choose hero if you want gorgeous ui and don't mind waiting a lil bit. personally i suggest drizzy's personal hero. but you've got to have patience.
Hi,
i want to partition my 8gb class 6 sd card with RA-dream-v1.5.2.
I use CyanogenMod the newest version and the HardSPL+newest Radio...
Which size would be making sense for swap and ext4???
I think for ext about 500mb, or???
And what is with swap size?
Thanks for help

well, as many of the threads posted by devs say, 512 is a good recommended ext size. as far as swap goes, you don't really need it for any CM builds. that isn't to say you can't use it. I always have my card partitioned at about 6.5gb fat32, 512 ext3 and 40 for swap because i got tired of repartitioning it everytime i wanted to flash a hero or eclair.
So i don't need swap for CyanogenMod???
Should i although give swap size 96???

Cyanogen does not use swap by default and it will not be activated unless you make it so. I would just because if you go to a rom that uses swap you won't need to repartition
Ok, so i make no swap, thanks....

Super-D & Wesgarner's roms are faster.Might wanna try those out.Cyan is good for those that want just the stability and normal speed.
But for those I need Danger SPL, or???
Are they stable like CyanogenMod???

they're a lil bit more iffy. i can't say for sure as i haven't given either of them a fair chance on my device, but from what i've heard, they're speedier. but for supreme stability, Cyan is the best. and just to be clear, you don't NEED swap for cyanogen, but it's always good to have it just in case you want to test out a hero or eclair build, you know?
and i'm not sure, but i think those do require the danger spl, but honestly, if you read the directions and know what you're doing, you can accomplish is with great success. i've done it twice already and both times have worked flawlessly.

You are right, they need the Danger spl
Yeah, but the question is, if i need an other rom than Cyan...
Have the roms any more functions or something else???
The Cyan has the advantage that i can Update with only my G1 and have often updates+many themes...
I heard that the Hero Roms haven't bluetooth, what i don't find good.
Are their else any differences or why do many people use hero or eclair roms???

for one thing, hero is GORGEOUS. eclair has supreme features and it's really sexy too. as of right now, eclair is my rom of choice, with a backup of cyanogen for stability. the only downside for eclair really is the camcorder, which will be worked out once htc releases the drivers. camera works now, as does practically everything else.
so to answer your question, yes, other builds have other features. but in essence, it's a matter of personal preference. if you want stability with good speed, cyanogen is a great choice. if you want a gorgeous look on your phone with awesome widgets, go with hero. for the latest features, then eclair is your rom. it's a matter of what you want.
Ok, so i think then i test hero and ecliar...
First i have to install danger SPL, have anyone good and safe tutorial???
And what are the best hero/eclair roms???
???????????????????????????????????
Super D
Just my 2 cents - I've found SuperD just as stable as Cyanogen, actually more so - never had an fc problem since installing 1.5 and then 1.6. If you've got DangerSPL/don't need it because you're on a MT3G, then definitely give it a whirl. i was really shocked by how good it is. Same with Dwang, although there's less in the way of goodies. Haven't tried WG yet.
I keep a swap partition on my card - 64mb personally. even if the rom ain't using it, it stops me from losing my data going to hero/eclair as mentioned above.
But with hero and eclair i have no bluetooth, or???
What i have to do now?
My SD 8gb sd card is partitioned: 96mb swap, 512 ext4
I have to update to danger spl and then??? Install a easiliy the rom, or have i to wipe or something when i change rom???

Please HELP!!!
hey guys, sorry to bother you but i want to use a hero rom, these require an ext3 partition, i have an ext 4, i don't think they are compatible (that would explain the mess of a flash my last tempt on hero was)
does anyone know how to go from ext4 to 3?
format the partition, create and ext2, upgradeFS.
cool thx, and am i correct that when i recover nandroid (made by nandorid +ext) it will restore the ext4 file system.

It will recover the apps that were there not the actual partition.
