Im not sure that you can.
You might have to modify the build.prop but even then I dont think its gunna work

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

how do i go about this? i am setting up logcat right now... i wanna load and run hero fast as well! if you can help me out with this i'll donate a couple fresh crisp 20 dollar bills to ya ;-)
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.
I apologize if this has been discussed but I did search with different words and was unable to find my answer. I was wondering if the voice search with keyboard apk on the Nexus 1 could be installed on Super D 1.7 or not. Is it possible or only on Eclair roms?? I really like that feature since I'm able to send text messages when not able to use both hands. I know I can always change to an Eclair rom but I'm really satisfied with Super D's rom and after trying almost all Eclair roms I would rather wait a little bit more until they get better. Any help is appreciated and thank you all in advance.
I said I was working on something new. Well, here it is!
First of all, you MUST be running Ivan's 0.7 or 0.5.4. This may work on other roms, but I have NOT tested it.
In short, this removes rosie. To be safe, make a nandroid before you install it. All Widgets/Sense Homescreen/all extra sense related apps are removed. A Full list is at the link below. It returns the phone to close to stock android. I'll be updating soon with a few more features.
More info at here.
Thanks!
EDIT :
figured out what it does.
thanks!
trying it now. Can't wait for it. Thanks for all your hard work!!
noob question! r u ready? whats senseless? is sence the main os thing kinds? on my task manager htc sence is like the main os, do u replace it with like aHome ir somthing like that?
sense is the overlay that HTC made for the phone. with the nice shiny user interface. senseless removes all of that and uses the stock android look, which many people find nicer. senseless also deletes any HTC sense releated apps that wont be used so the phone runs smoother.
thanks i really appreciate that help. im new to the android scene. its a little small due to all the different phones runnind different tweaks but i love the community so far. not like the psp or iphone one but i deffenitly like it, everyones friendly
Really looking forward to trying this out when I get home. First I have to install Ivan's, but this is exactly what I have been looking for.
You said it basically removes rosie, is that all? I could do that with root explorer, couldn't I?
thank you for this. applied this to my fav ROM instead of searching through root explorer for each sense apk. this made my fav rom a lil faster. thanks again for ur hard work
Works on Ivan's 0.81T2.
Now if can hack the incoming call screen it will be perfect.....
hey all I have a question is there a rom for the G1 that has the interface and features of
MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.6_MDJ_S78.0
thanks,
Reg
Way to make your question as awkward to answer as possible...
The ROM you're referring to features the 'new' HTC Sense, built on Froyo. There are Sense ROMs for Dream, but only based on Eclair (AFAIK, there are HVGA froyo sense builds but no one has ported them to Dream yet).
So you can get something similar, just based on Eclair, without the new Sense features... oh, and it will run like molasses.
sorry wasn't really sure how to put the question and that is the same rom I jun on my HD2 so i figured it would be easiest just to include the rom name.
Are there any downsides to going back to Eclair?
No native Apps2SD, things don't seem to run quite as fast. Nothing major, it's just outdated.
thanks that is what i needed to know
I have a quick question about G1 rom(s) as well, and don't think a new thread is necessary- I hope yonu won't mind if i use his thread..
I bought a G1 for my sister- she needs only facebook, youtube, some internet, texting, calling. The G1 is from rogers and it came with android 1.5- I immediately installed the newest cyanogen (6.x) on it by following the official cyanogen wiki. Now, however, the G1 is sometimes slower than my X1 running android. That doesn't seem right. Is this a normal cyanogen behavior? If yes, is there some light rom that is fast and stable? (it has to be froyo, as she needs facebook notifications.)
Thanks!

Pretty much, it's an old device. Your X1 has the same CPU as the G1, but has 64mb of RAM more than the G1.
Try the ezterry's Froyo MyTouch port, it's a port of the froyo build that was released for the mytouch3g (same hardware as G1). If that doesn't satisfy you, you'll be looking at going back to donut (1.6).
Thnx for replies.
to AdrianK: Is donut faster on G1? I always though that JIT makes Froyo the fastest android.. but I guess that works only when there is enough RAM..
to traumatism: Not sure here, but didn't it say in the marketplace that the notifications (by that I mean info in status bar about new message, comment etc showing up even when the fb app is not running) are available only for android 2.2 and up?
