i've been looking all over for it but i can't find it any where
Some details on what you want to achieve would be nice...
If it's a custom ROM like Cyanogen 4.xx then all you need to do is add an ext partition.
can I ask why you would choose to not run CM5 (2.1)? It makes no sense to be running 1.X....

the reason why i dont want cm5 2.1 anymore is because my battery doesnt last as long as it would with a 1.6 rom

Hey gang,
I just bought a used HERO for my mother and would like to root it and load a custom rom. I will follow this guide to root it : Step By Step Way to root Using Flashrec(Updated 4/5)
I need some advice on a good clean rom though.
Below are my 'wanted features' in a rom.
Android 2.1
HTC Sense
stable (no need for constant reboots)
App2SD
good battery life
NOT overclocked
NOT themed (she just wants what she sees in the commercials. Stock look and colors)
keyboard with voice input (she sucks at typing and just wants to "talk to text")
LWP (optional but she probably won't use)
I looked at the rom area... and got lost with all of the choices.
She will never change a single setting once it is configured for her.
she just wants an "Android".
Thnx!
Everything except that stupid Blue Echo Rom, that thing is horrible

Hi PapaSmurf
I don't follow you...
Please link me to a ROM that fits her needs (if that exists)
Try nfinitiefx45 stock 2.1 deodexed or damage control 2.09.01
Sorry I can't link from the xda app.
Also, if the phone already has 2.1 on it, there is a new rooting method. If it has 1.5, flashrec should work fine.

Darchstar 2.8 !! My phone never ran so smooth I have very very little keyboard Lag.
Sooo, why not keep it bone stock since otherwise you'll void her warranty for nothing?

I want Apps2SD so she doesn't run out of room so fast. I am sure she will add apps and not clean up after herself.

+1 for nfinitefx45's stock ROM. but get the odex version since you won't be using themes
Fresh is also a good option with slight visual tweaks (uses HTC Espresso launcher + vanilla lock screen)
of the 2 i'd guess the nfinitefx ROM is more stable since it's closer to stock, but I honestly haven't tried fresh.

Lmao cold bro just cold. That's OK I prefer my red dawn anyways. Lol
My sig says it all....
(although DD is on a new version now... and does not have sense, but with a few simple flashes, who needs it?)
(PS, LWP sux, will not work on most roms (ie, not sticking on standby), and a batt drain, and slows sys down. dont bother.)
(PPS, after re-reading your OP, I am wondering why you are looking for a custom rom at all? b-sides the lwp thang, stock has all that, no theme, stable. root is good for a few extra things and I recommend it, but perhaps use a stock rom for stability and consistency....?)

ah yes, unless you go for a cyan rom, or some other 2.2 build, which I dont recommend personally, yet.
and make sure you have a class 6 card at least for a2sd...
I think you just want another Hero to play with lol. If you really want a custom rom, the odex version of Nfinite's stock rom has gobs of internal memory and is snappier than any deodexed rom.

Lmao um a2sd can be used on any class SD card. U need a class 4 card if u want to move dalvik cache over but even still it makes the phone unstable.
Go with odexed version of nifinite stock rom. It has a2sd plus is fast and what ur looking for
wouldnt fresh be good for him to flash?
sounds like what he needs

lmao?
well, I have been told by countless ppl here that anything less than a C6 "does not work well", frankly not knowing what that exactly means, but apparently causes instability/data corruption? whateva.
guess you would know, right?
dont use it, dont care. just trying to be helpful.
+1 for odexed version of nifinite stock rom. i think that wold be perfect, and easiest to "suport" if needed.
Thank you all for the help!
Here is what I did.
Rooted using this 2.1 guide:
[GUIDE] How to Root Sprint 2.1 Release for CDMA Hero
Flashed the following ROM:
[ROM] Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed w/A2SD 2.7.5_pf4a |7/31/2010|
(i have not tried JIT just yet...)
All seems perfect! I believe my Ma will love this. Who knows... maybe Pop will want one too =)
Thnx again!

I would suggest leaving jit alone for now, it is far too unstable in my experience.

Then u haven't used the new jit. Cause the one nfinite and I are using is very stable and very fast. There will be an update out soon for it.
Ok, my friend has the hero for sprint and it keeps saying his phone storage space is getting low. Its making his phone run very slow and I said i'd help him fix it. Can you guys pleeeaaassseee help me?

Is your friend running stock ROM?
Go to Settings > SD card and Storage and see what it says for free internal memory. I remember getting that message when mine was under 15 MB. I had too many apps on internal memory. I switched to a ROM that had apps2sd and now I have 100+ MB Free.

Sweet! His phone isn't rooted yet but I'm good with knowing how to root phones. What ROM has that apps2sd app thou? I have a samsung fascinate soo I don't know much about the hero lol. And its a stock ROM rom btw
1sT GeAr, U MaD??
Almost all ROMs now have apps2sd integrated.
If your friend wants to stay "stock" with the Sense UI, anything by nfinitefx45 is quality. He just released a ROM based on the newest Sprint release this morning! Check it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024
If you want something completely new, froyo AOSP, check out CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1.. it's perfectly stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755795
With both you'll get a lot more internal memory than stock ROM. If you still want A2SD, it's built in nfinitefx45's, and if you want it for CM6 then just run the easy froyo a2sdext in my signature. Just partition the SD card to ext2 and then upgrade from ext2 to ext3 before installing nfinitefx and it will work automatically. If using with CM6, partition anytime before running the script.

Exactly right, or for no sense but more speed, try CM 6.1.0
Or try AOSP!

low memory
Low memory can slow down the phone... lag the hell out of it if there is no room for "working" memory. You won't be able to view photos or listen to musice if you have too much on your phone. Been there done that flashed on cm6 no problems since.
my wifes hero cdma is out of enternal memory. want to no if i root her phone can you do apps 2 sd and how? i have my hero rooted and running duelboot with sense hero v8.5 running off phone and cm running off sd card. so i can flash roms. but she wants to keep her rom but be able to use apps 2 sd. thanks for any help on this. i cant find any good info searching for it

According to the Darktremors thread, you can't run A2SD on Original Stock Roms:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715116)
NOTE: ROMS THAT ARE ORM (ORIGINAL ROM FROM MANUFACTURER...ALSO KNOWN AS STOCK ROMS) WILL NOT RUN ANY VERSION OF APPS2SD EXCEPT FROYO.
The code to launch Apps2SD is not present in the init.rc. The only way Apps2SD will work with a Stock ROM is if the init.rc has been modified with the commands to run Apps2SD.

I'd say they're all about the same... So pick based on features and appearance, and invest in a really good sdcard

This is is based on latest ruu of marvel 2.26.401 and gb 2.3.5 and sense 2.1.
And inbuild script for data2sd. There is no need to flash 2nd time if ur properly partioned SD card.

fancy sharing the way you managed to get the data2sdext3 working? as me and 2 others that are recog devs couldn't get it working! hence why we have to do it they way we do.
2.3.5 is sense 2.1 and 3.5 but both are entirely different.
But don't forget u cannot use data2sd properly with an apps2sd rom...that's the reason why i started to created my own roms without porting....and without apps2sd.
But really, if you want to help with roms...make them from scratch like i have. that's what we want.
I can sit here and give u all the WFS roms anyone wants, 90% have apps2sd so are useless to us, WFS roms which have the data2sd built in are not fully functioning in 1 way or another, after 2 months of testing them out i found out the hard way.
my current builds are as follows
x2 CM7 Builds, both are ports but from 2 devices (WFS/Aria)
Both boot but lack Kernel support so cannot run touch-screen, all areas have been covered so i know its the kernel!
Sense 3.5 (Pico/Explorer) Not a port but RUU build (From Scratch) and swap over... without apps2sd, this is hard, most have failed so far..
Senseless Rom, using a random launcher, similar to CM7 but with out CM7/Sense parts, so it will be a bog standard simple Rom.
Hey..
Hey Guys..Well I need a rom but I want a sense 3.5 gingerbread 2.3.5 rom..as I want to run data2whatever script on it rather than data2sd-ext3 script..I have an 8 gb class 10 sd card but whenever i use a rom with data2sd-ext3 script on it...I find it irritating as there is a huge lag when we turn on the lock screen..While on other roms like dot sense annd the other one..things work great with data2whatever..I want a sense 3.5 2.3.5 rom with transparent status bar which runs data2whatever script and nemus launcher in it if possible..as it is super fast and runs Go launcher themes too now..
streetrawker said:
I want a sense 3.5 gingerbread 2.3.5 rom..as I want to run data2whatever script on it rather than data2sd-ext3 script. Both scripts are the same, but data2whatever has a dalvik cache cap which stops you installing apps/data or anything after a period of time. its proven to be a problem hence why users don't use that anymore. hence why there's no support any more cos the dev has had his accounts frozen.
whenever i use a rom with data2sd-ext3 script on it...I find it irritating as there is a huge lag when we turn on the lock screen..Try using an sdcard booster app, and cut you tasks with a taskiller. don't blame the scripts its not always the problem, again its a proven fact.
While on other roms like dot sense annd the other one..things work great with data2whatever..I want a sense 3.5 2.3.5 rom with transparent status bar. When you find a good 3.5 sense rom which actually works fine...then tell me where to get this....as al of them so far don't work because the kitchen doesnt accept sense 3.5 roms yet lol
which runs data2whatever script and nemus launcher in it if possible add this yourself, its free..as it is super fast and runs Go launcher themes too now..

Well...I didn't know about the problem with data2whatever because I usually install 20-25 apps in my phone..Plus I find this script more stable..Personal opinion you know..And I will try sdcard booster too..And I like EQDKPv4.9_C510E_multi_deodexed_mhr rom except for the fact that it has a lot of dialer consumption and it drains up battery too fast..so I hate this thing about it..and the rom made by razer..well it has sony xperial launcher in it pre-installed...so I didn't want it..So I am hoping for a clean rom with transparent bar and I personally prefer using data2whatever script..as I don't install too many apps...
