Wassup guys, just wanted to see if anyone can suggest what they believe to be the "Best Eclair ROM" right now. I am currently using Manups Eclair ROM v. 1.5 which is good and all but it is also the only Eclair ROM I've tried and I don't really feel like flipping through all these Eclair ROMs so if anyone can be so kind as to suggest that would be great, so I'll just go with the one everyone suggests more or at least try it...Thanks in advance.
It depends on what you'd like.
I'd recommend trying out KingKlick's eclair ROM and the OpenEclair one too. You might like one of those.

Basically everything that Eclair should have plus some nice additions if possible, but I'll give those a try for now...thanx...keep the suggestions coming please.
Or...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448
try searching through here.
Macrophage001, what was the point of your response? I found this thread in a Google search because I pretty much asked the same thing the author did. I'm no developer and I don't have time to spend thumbing through the thousands of threads and responses within XDA. In spite of what you may want to believe, it's people like us who make sites like this a success People with questions. In all honesty why can't you just help? Why be a smart ass? I can't convey my frustration enough.
Why? Because part of the site rules are to not ask for the best rom. It doesn't matter whether you are a dev or not, you can still read the first 3-5 pages in the dev forum, download roms, copy them, backup your current, and flash away. Which leads to you formulating your own opinion.
After trying out three different 2.1 roms for Eclair .. I find that Cannon has the best one out, its had the least errors and is lightning fast..

Ehh...sticks and stones =/
Cannon202's Eclair is def the most stable and fastest Eclair ROM Just needs video support like all the others and it would be my everyday ROM
i personally like king klicks his last the longest
http://www.androidspin.com/2010/02/...d-android-2-1-coming-to-all-htc-hero-devices/
Im sorry if a topic like this has been made before, but im far from a dev and have no clue about any of this.
but im wondering if these updates are to come out, will we ever see a rom based of this on the G1/MT3G or is it not possible at all. feel like these phones will be left in the dark.
There are many sense/hero roms out already for the G1, just check this section. 2.1 is not really anything new, and once it comes out, there'll naturally be developers making roms. However, just like with every other of those roms, you'll need the Death SPL, and it will never run as fast/smooth/stable as your regular ol' non-sense rom
i see thanks for that. that has kinda cleard up my question
i guess the developers use those dumps and make them work for other devices.
this can be closed now. sorry for making this thread.

Hey guys,
Sorry for asking such a basic question but I have searched through the Wiki and tons of posts but I can't find the answer anywhere. Then again, I might have overlooked it since my eyes started to glaze over with the vast amount of information on this awesome site.
Anyways, the question:
Do you have to have a ROM flashed on your phone in order to use a theme?
I'm interested in using the Dirty Paper or Shakass theme and am confused on what I need to do.
I understand the premise of .cabs and whatnot.
Also, what version of Manilla (TouchFlo 3d) is on the Alltel Touch Pro? I get the phone in a week so I don't have it in hand.
Thanks guys for the time.
I am getting a HTC Hero from Sprint tomorrow, and I want to upgrade it to whichever Rom is the fastest and most stable. I see that Froyo is still being worked out, and after browsing 36 pages of comments, It seems to be about 95% complete. The last phone I flashed is the Cingular 8125 (yeah, I've been out the loop for a while). If someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Re: Where do I start....
First of, Congrats on jumping on the Android bandwagon.
Here is a list of things you need to do.
1. Root your hero.
2. Then you need to find a good ROM that fits your needs. Some people like almost no stock apps, some people like all the stock apps on the Sprint Hero. I Have tried almost all the new ROMs that are on XDA and after benchmarking all of them, I have found Purehero 2.1 to be the fastest. it consistently benchmarks at 6300 milliseconds. here is the link for pure hero.
you should download the OC version.
3. But don't take my or anyone's word for it. Try different roms and see what you like. some people like speed, some like visual aspect. i like both and i think purehero is the best there is that gives both.
4. Just search how to root sprint hero in xda and there are several pages that offer help.
5. also search purehero for the ROM
Is the Purehero 2.1 ROM based on android 2.1 or 2.2?

It's based on 2.1.
One other thing to note: Learn which forums are appropriate for your various posts and questions. For example -- this forum "Android Development" is reserved for posts specifically about ROM and kernel development stuff.
Your question about 'How should I get started' belongs in either the "Q&A" forum or the "General" forum, where basic questions and answers are handled.
Also know that the "Search this Forum" boxes are your friend. You could have found plenty of answers to your question without even having to post a topic like this in the wrong place.
All that aside, welcome to the world of rooted HTC Heroes.
you are right...to be honest, this is so overwhelming. I looked through various post, but wasn't sure what to search, because I had no idea what I was searching for.

I've never posted but I can't figure this out. I searched Google but the only sense roms I found were from February. In xda-nexus-development there are a bunch of themes stock roms, but I don't see any full sense roms. I remember when I had the g1 and the sense roms were slow but everything except Bluetooth worked. I'm sure by now there's a Rom that pretty much makes my nexus into a desire, I really want to try out full sense. But I can't find one anywhere. I know the question sounds dumb but ive seriously looked, I even downloaded Rom manager and looked through its lost. I know it exists because it existed for the g1 and the nexus blows the g1 away. Sorry, I need help.
I call bull**** that you've searched.
As of right now, the sense rom thread is holding a very prominent position in its respective forum.
Not all that helpful, but here's a few tips ronjeremy. Use the advanced search, you can narrow your search out with it (choose only the forum sections you need). Second, look in the development section, you usually find all roms there.
For instance, for Nexus One try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=559
Why don't people use the search bar? It takes even longer to wait for people to respond than to just "search" the damned thing.

can you link me to "the sense rom thread"? I believe you that it exists, but it must not have the word in the title because when i searched on google, i found "sense" roms that were very old, when i searched this forum there was 1 thread with the word "sense" in it, none with the word "desire". No Bull****. So I dont know what to tell you, maybe i should look in every rom post and if there arent screen pics maybe i should flash every rom? Because its definitely a lot faster to post a question than open every single rom thread.

i tried, i just want a plain sense rom and i couldnt find it
Not gonna link you to it, you'll never learn how to search. I'm glad others aren't spoon feeding it to you either.
Just head into the right forum, hit CONTROL+F and search for "sense" or "desire." Even without searching, I can see TWO sense rom threads within the first page of the appropriate forum.
And when you search in the forum, just search for titles only and just search for "sense" or "desire" in the right forum.
@erikikaz you are too cool
dont know why you would even want sense (unless you absolutely need the htc facebook app or the FM radio)... sense was great about 2 years ago
vanilla froyo + adw/qd, etc have far surpassed the sense UI
I'm using CM 6 with black notification bar, imported sense live wallpaper and launcher pro plus (which is adding sense-like widgets constantly), and the weather and clock widget and I get a sense-like experience without the graphical glitches and Rom bugs. Yeah I paid for some of it, but supporting developers is never a bad thing and once purchased the app is mine across any Rom I install. Unlike sense.

You have no friends. Is this supposed to be some sort of lessen that you are blessing me with? Because I think you're a douche bag getting some sort of loser-jollies from withholding a link to an internet thread, its sad. But its also funny, but I'm sure you're no stranger to people laughing at you. So what are you fat? Got a lazy eye? Maybe your boyfriend told you that your peckers tiny? Get over yourself, I did search, I'm not allowed to post links, but believe me I'd post the link for you. Now I'm on my nexus one, when I press "search forum" the search box appears and disappears so what next? Maybe you could hit me with another one of your life-changing, eye-opening, "this hurts me more than it hurts you" queer lessens? i see one by "evil" which isnt right, i see one in a guide by paul which is 2.1, is that as new as it gets? no flash on sense on nexus one?
well. i think the closest rom you'll find is the MCR, Modaco Custom Rom. i waited for those rom too, but idk why, it seems the development was canceled. i don't know for sure. try to look for MCR in android development.
In fact there was/is no completed Sense Froyo port until now.
evil's NXSense ROM is almost complete now (besides USB mount notification and some small BT quirks).
There's Alpha of kingclick's Desire Froyo port (not on the forum).
Look them up, flash, compare, see what you like.
thanks for the replies, i tried modaco it was pretty great, but i instantly missed flash and wifi hotspot setting. But the rom was really smooth, if a froyo one pops up im in. Is the evil one you are talking about going to be themed like his current one or will it be the way it is supposed to be?
Oh no, you've hurt my feelings. It's just terribly unfortunate that none of your descriptions fit me. I've tutored many kids like yourself. You try to teach them through the Socratic method and all they do is reverse their inability or unwillingness to work through a problem on you, blaming you for their failures. Nothing new.

So tell me, did control+F work for you or not? And if it didn't, did you heed my advice and actually just head over to those forums to look at the first page of posts? If so, you're welcome.

Don't be so easy, sheesh. Here comes a lesson, ready?. Try using the search bar at the top of the page. Guess what? When you click it, it won't disappear! And I already told you to search under titles only. Hopefully all this information isn't already over your head.

Complain much? You asked for sense roms and you got them. And if you actually did some more prodding you'd find that modaco actually has a 2.2...ahh, screw it, find it yourself

It's themed the same as his previous ROMs, but there are themes that you can flash over it to get the original sense ui theme. I believe the theme is even posted in evil's thread.
I've been running evil's Q&D NXSense v.1.04 rom since it was posted and so far it seems really complete (besides BT issues and no FM radio - which I never use anyway).
