My Chips Not up to par? .29 Kernel blues

Everytime I try flashing Anything with toasts custom kernel my phone just wants to up and die, If play with the phone and am patient enough I can sometimes get one boot, that eventually crashes and never comes back as I just see a solid HTC logo.
I'm also finding every-time I try booting, while looked up to the computer trying to get a logcat or at least something it appears my phone is malfunctioning to the point it only appears as an unknown device if it even shows.
I've tried Freshtoast, IC3rom and the newest Darchdroid to no avail.
I'm thinking i just got cursed with subpar chips from htc and that perhaps it doesn't even like the lower 710 mhz overclock, anyone else experiencing this?
Just frustrated, if anyone would be willing to give input or plain help it'd appreciated knowing that time is valuable, There is great work at foot here.
Edit: Just about had to shove my foot in my mouth, got a boot started right before I posted, Saddly it isn't booting reliably let it set up
logged into my google account and tried to restart the phone, same luck I've been having has decided to hard reset? "Vibrates and screen flash" 4 Times in the past 5 minutes

well I am not sure what you have and havent tried, but a few things to check first. Is your sdcard setup for apps2sd? if so did you wipe that also when you are switching roms?.
Did you wipe your data between roms?
Have you tried just a stock rom, such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681697 . this is completely stock of the final 2.1 release. Wipe everything including your ext partion on your sdcard, if you have one.
Thats at least a starting point to see if you dont have faulty hardware. You honostly should have no problem getting that to work.

Try Zen's slide rom. I too could not boot a single overclocked rom, until I tried that one. Is overclocked, but boots up at 480, and no bfs or compcache, so I don't know what makes it work, but it does. Once in, I was able to overclock to 691 (stock is 528), and I get neocore scores of 32-33 fps consistently, linpacks at 2.9-3.1, so almost right there with those going to 767, definite improvement over stock. Anyways, try it, my favorite sense rom by far.

I'm having these issues too... I want DarchDroid....

Actually, darch's latest booted finally for me! It's a new update, go try it!

Aye Zen did a pretty sweet job on it, If I have to use sense thats the rom with the goodies I really like, more so when he managed to get rid of all the purple and pink from it.

I had the same issues. I loaded the overclock widget and set it to 480 then updated the kernel to .29. Seemed to work. I got it up to 691 before I had lock up issues. 768 is 3 seconds.

That's an interesting fix. I'm going to try that, as I've had issues flashing any rom that is OC'd (trying DC 2.08.1 .29 kernel right now using your suggestion)
Edit: That still did not work for me for DC. I'm at a loss.

Did you set it to run on boot?

I did. My phone will not boot any OC'd ROM. I've been trying for about a week now...not sure what else to try.

As of DarchDroid 2.6.5, it is no longer working on our "sub-par" phones.
If anyone needs 2.6.4 and the dl link is not up, just let me know.

And he added bfs back in, I know it doesn't make sense, but I wonder if that's what is doing it, it's one of the few similarities between darch droid and zen slide that is different in all others.

I'd wait til CM6 becomes final. 2.1 IMO just doesn't run well enough on G1's hardware. The speed is there, but apps get killed too easily for memory.

Well, I couldn't run Pandora and then check my email and do gchat. Pandora would shut off when I try to do other things. Didn't have SWAP set up. Didn't have this issue with 1.6.

There is a lot of good custom ROMs. Go check The Rom Bible and look at the ratings of every ROM there. You will find something good.
And I agree that Eclair is usable, but not to fast. You have to set up a swap partition to run it good enough to be a daily driver. However, you will not find as fast 2.1 ROM as stock Donut. G1 has too little RAM memory (processor is good enough). But something for something - if you once see 2.1 ROM you won't want to go back, trust me .
If you're looking for speed - check Dwang, it's very good.
BUT! Very much depends how your son will use the phone. If his gonna do a lot of multitasking and play with the phone 24/7 then he should stay on 1.6 or start reading how to really set up an Eclair ROM to run smooth. If he is really casual user then almost every ROM will be OK for him.

2.1 sucks for multitasking. My widgets update 5 minutes late on average and sometimes they never do and I have to open the app to get them to update. Horrible.

that problem went away for me as soon as I ditched all Widgets that required a background dedicated service.. rather than just using the widget API to update from application data.

Interesting.

If he's anything like my son, he'll be using the phone for messaging. I would definitely avoid Eclair and Froyo for now. No need to root it - stock 1.6 is fine for most everyday purposes. If he starts to want to install tons of apps, then you can root and start investigating your options.

lol that happened to me my first day having the phone >.<

SPB Shell 3d

I searched for this in the aria category but couldn't find anything relevant.
I just installed the CM7 RC4 rom and am quite happy with it, I've been searching ways to customize it the way I want. While researching I found this 3d home screen replacement called SPB Shell 3d and watched a youtube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVU84J1ShSQ
It looks pretty awesome but costs $15. What do you think? Is it worth it? Are there any cyanogen mod ways to get a 3d homescren, will it even run on the CM7 rom? Anyone tried this?
Thanks

I tried it for about 5 min. Runs a little laggy on my aria, but way cool. Buy it, try it out. you can always return it within the 15 min.
Also, try Launcher Pro Plus or ADW EX

It looks pretty cool, but way overpriced. I'd be surprised if you could get it running smoothly on the Aria.
Along with Launcher Pro and ADW Ex, you should also check out GO! Launcher Ex.
WidgetLocker Lockscreen is pretty good as well.

don't like interactive as much.

Tried it running at 768mhz with SMARTASS governor. Once it's running it's not too laggy but it doesn't seem to stay in memory very well and there aren't many setting for it. When you open a program outside of Shell 3D there is a bit of a delay to return to the Home screen (any screen). It runs not as smooth as the video but somewhat smooth non the less. It definitely was not made for the Aria.

Bought it, tried it, like it. Not laggy and I am running FR008, no oc. Still $15 is a bit much, but...biggest draw back is i wish it had more widgets. Their WM version had more stuff but still looking for more to replace the stockj Sense UI or Launcher Pro / LP SenseUI theme.
I suppose as a first release not bad, runs fine, but want more stuff.
Thanks.

if you want to get past that little bit of delay just drag your finger across the screen like your changing the page or press the home button
EDIT: sorry for the double post

no need really to pay for it my friend i have the same thing just a cracked version works the same

i too agree with him... the price is too high... u can get sam things without payin for it only prob is that sometimes it gives an error but using terminal emulator u can go back to homescreen of spbshell 3d

Gave it a 48 hour go around. Conclusion...
Used a lot of memory.
No options.
Performance wasn't terrible once it warmed up.
Wouldn't recommend it to anyone though.
Returned back to LP+ for now.

Let it burn....
I've run this for few days now on CM 7.0.0. After using the phone for 12 hrs without reboot for the last 2 days it's running like a champ. Using Rover theme, Destop VizualizeR for pantera70's icons, etc. Battery life took a hit for the first day. Let it burn down to almost nothing, wipe your cache and reboot a couple of days in a row and then "butter"!

You're absolutely right
Tried this on FR008 and CM7 - runs smooth as butter
The only problem is lack of options and automatic arrangement of screen (a bit annoying)

[Q] Ok... Some help please?

Alright, I have my hero, but I'm getting tired of it. The keyboard lags, scrolling lags, basically everything lags. What are the best settings for no lag?(what is a good keyboard that doesnt lag) What is a good rom for the htc hero that doesnt lag much? OR: How do I stop LiGux from lagging? Also, what folders/files are ok to erase on my hero? Thanks in advance.

I've always used the latest Cyanogen and took out every single graphic enhancer.

Unfortunately the hero is pretty much dead. Someone should do a port of iceboxs shpongle ROM for the hero gsm. Maybe I'll look into doing it.

Phone is bloody fast as is.... From the HTC Hero i hit like 1000, HTC Evo & Evo shift i was around 2k. The SII i touched about 3k-4k (cant recall) and on the SIII it was random from rom to rom around 4k-7k and i could be wrong on those numbers lol. But this phone my first test i was 11k and whoa thats crazy.
@JasonJoel I agree on a under clocked, the phone woule probably last forever
