Hello Guys, I flashed my nexus to HTC Sense ui, I went back to stock rom and notice I only have about 80mb of memory. Before i flashed to HTC i had about 275MB (kill all apps) and when i flashed to Sense i had the same about of MB around 275MB. When I first rooted my nexus i had about 275MB. What happen?

devs have free'd up alot of mem with their roms, that's why the stock rom has so much less
Stock Rom comes with a limited kernel. Check if you reverted back to 2.6.29... Cyanogen and Desire roms are 2.6.32 or higher depending on which version you run.
the stock kernel does not take advatage of all RAM, missses out on 1/2 of the 512megs or so

The HTC Sense ROM is pretty big, larger than the non-sense version. Once you install the Desire Rom you need to reboot it and that will free up a lot more ram.
let me give you a quick solution which has root included.
go give modaco's superboot himen option a try. but beware, once you flash the himen kernel, you will need to reflash to stock before you can mess around with the customized kernels posted here.

As the title says why don't everyone chime in here for a minute and say what ROM and maybe even what kernel you are running and why you chose that particular one.
I will start.
MicroMod Gingerbread ROM (at the moment),
some overclocked kernel,
and I am running this one because I have ran about everything for my N1 i can find in here and this one is good.
Running MM GB ROM v.20, with stock kernel.
Reason? I can't wait any longer for the OTA

CM 6.1 cause I'm to lazy to try all the different ones out there.
enomther's TheOfficial Nexus1 -> MIUI(0.12.31 with Wildmonk's kernel)
for enomther's, I needed app2SD+ badly when I tried custom ROMs, and it works OK to me.
for MIUI, I just wanted to try something different.
GB v.20 ... its almost the full port of GB and its smooth as butter
Cyanogen Mod roms ONLY, since day one of having my first android device.

Hi,
I've never tried a gb rom (in fact any rom), but I'm rooted and ready to go. But which one? So many choices.
What's the most reliable and complete gb 2.3 rom? Recommendations?

You want everything for granted? Test and see which is good enough for you. Maybe someone has other tastes...
Hi Andy,
I've been using MicroMod's ASOP for a while now with no issues (other than those listed, mainly no Video Camera). Getting around 2 days battery life with moderate use, which is better than other roms I've tried.
It's mainly stock, which works for me. Best bet is to try a few and see what you like. Nandroid is your friend!

Micromod's GB ROM is pretty stable for everyday use.
If you want features than the CyanogenMod 7nightlies is stable enough for me to use everyday but it's still a work in progress.
...........
I like Micromod's GingerBread Rom (unfortunately just announced that he will be leaving the building for another device).
The CM nightlies are plenty stable.

Hi guys,
Thanks to all who replied. Seems like a fairly good consensus of opinion, that micromods rom might be s good starting point.
Once I've started (probably with micromods), who knows where it will lead? (Hopefully not to a brick..
)
Just don't want my first ever flash to be something known to be incomplete or unstable.
Ta!

MicroMod's latest version of 2.3 .. and flash redstar's kernel for an awesome battery life.
hi Deekay, are you referring to this redstart kernel: RedStar 925mV Kernel?

Don't worry so much man. As long as you're not flashing an HBOOT, radio, or maybe a recovery, it's very hard to brick a phone. I would recommend trying a leaner, cleaner GB ROM before trying MicroMods, just so you can get a feel for pure GB without all of the extra apps and funky screen transitions. Straight CM7 nightly is what I'd suggest. Check imfloflo's thread.

CM7 GB is more stock than MM AOSP GB? I find CM to be one of the most modded ROMs out there, not that that's a bad thing.

CM7 has a lot of options built in, but so does MM's GB ROM. Both are excellent, but of the two, CM doesn't have any fancy screen transitions and extra apps installed aside from the basics.
Hi all,
Thanks for all the suggestions. Unsure of the "wonkyness" of cm7, I flashed micromods aosp gb rom last night. Did multiple titanium and nandroid backups, bit my lip and went for it.
Superb! Running it now, no regrets so far... all done within about an hour, everything working.
Thanks for all your comments.

Just to make it clear for others as I think there is a little confusion. Micromod777 has released two gingerbread ROM's. His original GB ROM was one of the first good stable builds after the AOSP was released, this finished on v.20 which can be found here:
Gingerbread v.20
He then began working on a new ROM based on Cyanogenmod 7, which is now discontinued as he's a busy man:
MicroMod's Gingerbread CM7 Custom ROM v1.4-FINAL
So, I see that there is a 2.1 update for the HTC Hero CDMA from Sprint and I'm very interested in upgrading to be able to use some of the better software out there that doesn't work on 1.5.
The thing is, I finally managed to fix this phone from a bad rooting procedure (it's a used phone, the previous owner rooted it using who-knows-what method and ROM, which caused the wifi to stop working) after spending weeks on the problem and finally have a good, fully-functional phone. So, now, I'm a bit paranoid about any rooting or upgrade procedure, though I suspect and official update from a Sprint shouldn't cause a problem.
I'm also considering doing a basic rooting (no custom ROM) so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and make a complete backup, but, again, I'm very leery about it.
Is there any possibility that rooting, in and of itself, could cause the wifi to stop working or was it that the specific ROM that was installed didn't have the right wifi driver?

Dude there are literally thousands of people running custom roms flawlessly ....taking that in to consideration, what do you think the answer to your question is? Lol for liability purposes we all have to say "there's a risk" but my 11 year old sister rooted her evo and flashed cm7 without any help

Fair enough, the custom ROM that was used must have been a crappy one.

Well we've had some that had broken wifi long ago but really you probably just could've flashed a new working kernel over it and the problem would be gone. If you wanna stay stock-ish I'd recommend fresh 2.1 but if you wanna really see it fly flash kush-deck gb. Flash the. 29 kernel after you boot and you will never regret it

Thanks, I'll check those out sometime. Have you got links for them?
Believe me, you don't want the stock Sprint 2.1 on your Hero. It's terrible. Super slow and it freezes constantly. I ran it for a short time after Sprint released it and that's when I decided to root. If I remember correctly you also can't put your apps on the SD card with it which really limits how many apps you can install.
I am running CyanogenMod 6.0 Froyo with ADW Launcher (built into the Rom) and its snappy and reliable but still has a lot of the bells and whistles. Try Beautiful Widgets and you can have a homescreen clock with animated weather just like the HTC Sense homescreen.
I tried CM 6.1.1 recently (updated froyo with new features) but it used more internal memory than 6.0 which made my phone laggy.
Be sure to get the appropriate Google apps zip file with the new Market

With the stock, rooted WWE Sense 3.0/GB 2.3.5 ROM, I typically have about 200MB free during the course of the day.
I have Exchange Active sync, Hotmail sync and Gmail sync running all the time, as well as Facebook and Twitter.
I have never run any of the custom ROMs, so I cannot comment on any of those.
On stock its around 200mb and on custom I get round 280mb to 300mb during the day end of the day this phone it really good so go buy one you won't be disappointed with it I know I ain't I'm loving this phone

Hi, I'm new here and new also to rooting etc.
I have successfully unlocked and rooted my M7 and using TWRP recovery.
I am under the impression you can't update OTA when rooted, I would like a standard ROM with sense 6, but I just have a couple of questions....
1. Could someone supply a link to the best stable Sense 6 ROM suitable for an unlocked UK M7?
2. Could you also explain how to install the ROM using some not too technical language
Thanks for your help

I cant tell you much as I am using Miui rom and i have killed an M7 a while back but Viper ROm is the best I have used and that is Sense 6. Bare in mind I have not used a Sense 6 rom at all but last Viper i used was 5.5 and it was great.
There is Android Revolution HD, im not sure if this is Sense 6 but is is a custom rom as close to stock that you can get.
Just download the ZIP and enter your receovery and flash, it is simple as. Just dont wipe internal SD card..

Just place it on the internal memory of the phone. Don't put it in any folders. Then boot into TWRP, select "Install zip from SD card" (the internal space paritition is labelled as "sdcard" due to the way android works), find the zip and install it.
Awesome, I guess I don't delete the original ROM then?

You would be well advised to make a back up of your original rom first. If something goes wrong you can go back to it, may be hard to find it on the web if you dont.
Best advice. Do a nandroid backup of your Rom now and try a few different ones. Personally I like android revolution hd. If you are going to try that use twrp 2.6.3.3. It doesn't like other versions very much

I know you've asked for sense roms, but I would definitely give some aosp roms a try. I've always liked aosp better. That said, it seems like development for this phone leans more towards sense based roms and definitely sense kernels. Only a couple of aosp kernels to choose from. I'm new to this phone (switched to Tmo a couple months ago and didn't want to buy a new phone on payments), but I was disappointed to see that after being out for a year the aosp development was somewhat lacking.
