Database Develop

Which is the best ROM for me?

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!

Hero Lockscreen + Music app on cyanogen?

Has this been done? the only reason I use the hero roms is for the awesome music app. I also love the lockscreen.

No...The frameworks are differnt so you cant..The eclair hero lockscreen is better then the 1.5 hero's.Also dont even bother trying to install the lockscreen's apk since it wont work.You can wait for AOSP 2.0 or stick with what you have now.Or! upgrade to a new HTC phone like Legend/Bravo/Passion/Nexus well you get the point.

Yeah, I saw the nexus on engadget and I plan on getting it. but that is in the future and this is now.
Do you know of any music apps as good as the htc one?

What Andoid OS rehash would you like to see on the Nexus One?

I for one, would like to see the xperia 10's andoid version because it looks really cool, and something different. Or sense(Not expresso, looks like its trying to be a iPhone).
What about you guys?

xperia x10
I'ld really like to have only the timescape and mediascape on 2.1

Working espresso would be nice... I mostly just wanna see full Cyanogen goodness. JAC's CyanogenMod-based Eclair xROM for Dream is amazing... I'd love to have a 2.1 CyanogenMod/xROM. But seriously, I'd love to play with Espresso, especially if they get everything working. It'd be blazin' fast on the Nexus.

Windows Mobile.
Wait, wut?
CyanogenMod.

Would love to see hero running on this bad boy, I came from the G1 and it didn't run very good on it.

Second that. The multimedia features look crazy good. If they could just take that aspect and maybe Sense, then it would be a great ROM imo.

X10 or just plain Android. Whatever runs fastest and smoothest is good for me for every day stuff.

Something with more multitouch

Mediascape and Timescape do look good.
I've just watched some demos on Yuotube, but it's got to be said the Xperia 10 is VERY choppy........

I would like Exchange working *including calendar* without paying $20 for Touchdown or having to root my wifes phone.

I use the MotoCal calendar from Droid, combined with the Android Agenda Widget from the Market. Works flawlessly for me.

I would like SenseHERO ROM to be ported to the N1, but I also want to keep the N1's native new features - such as the Live Wallpapers.

I dont really dig any of the skinned android ui's, however it would be great to have a vanilla 2.1 rom that incorporated some of the MotoBlur stuff without having the complete Blur UI. In particular Im thinking the FB widget, and Blur numerical lock screen.
Extra points if the rom can also incorp the Sense mail widget. Dont know if its possible to mesh the two frameworks, but I can dream...

this might sound wierd bout i would like too see donut on my n1 so i can theme it

I just want the original 2.0 lockscreen with the arc. It looked a lot better IMO then the newer one does. Also the nexus is theme-able in it current state, just can't do anything with services.jar yet (so no white text in status bar).

As the Nexus One has almost identical specifications and hardware as the HTC Touch HD2 (besides the screen, and non N capable wireless?)
Does that mean we can hope for some Android love to the HD2?
If that so I would get the HD2 over Nexus simply because I find it superior, eventhough it lacks a AMOLED screen.

Id love to see SE's Nexus UX ported over. Im sure with the 512mb ram that the N1 has will make the UI silky smooth.
On another note, I just cant seem to understand why Google decided on a white notification bar. It boggles my mind, esp considering that most people get black phones. They really need to add a built in Metamorph for changing between a white and black theme...

Where are the themes for the 2.1 roms?

I see several 2.1 roms on the xda board, but no themes, Am I missing something?

A pair of glasses?

So you mean that on this theme section they have 2.1 rom themes? Where?

you're right there is a lack of themes around here. but i came across a good one by opasha. its pure sex

I also just finished a port of my Ice Crystals theme for Eclair ROMs

I'm not sure but probably because most people aren't running 2.1 since it's still in test phases right now there aren't a lot of themes the themes are made by people who use the rom and want to make it look better. Most people stick with stable so there's more 1.6 themes than 2.1.

Looks like it got pulled from the market for some reason.You might want to e-mail the developer and see what's up with it.

This is why I love this site. That's exactly the one I was looking for. My Hero is gatored out except my keyboard. I need to email the dev to see if I can get the apk maybe. Thank you sooooooo much Mac!!!!!!!!

I found out J-B THEMES has pulled all the themes for the market and places them on their site. Part of my issue is resolved. Now if some one can answer the question as to if the is a place to see other app that has been pulled from the market life would be great?

Your most welcome..glad to help out in a small way.
I don't know if this occured to you yet..but you could always try to learn how to make your own skins for your keyboard too if it never comes back to the market..I know it takes a while to learn all of this stuff..but seems like a likely alternative. There's a whole bunch of tutorials on doing various things with a Android..
Mac

No it had not I some what still a noob I would love to learn how to make my own themes and stuff but it is taking me a while due to my garbage work schedule. But I am looking into it. Thanks to root and terminal emulator I can do most of my custom stuff directly from the phone
