DarchDroid vs DamageControl - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which is better in your opinion?
I'm looking for stability and speed in my phone (don't care about eyecandy/games). I would even run just bash on my phone if it were possible/convenient.
Anyway, I've been running DamageControl for a month now and it's pretty fast. Should I use DarchDroid? Is it faster or better in any noticeable way? Thanks.

Do a nandroid of your DC and flash Darch. Test it out for youself. I did it 2 months ago and haven't looked back. I have moved on to CM6 now.

Best Sense rom?

Hey all,
I recently had my Dream jtagged/rooted (thanks ezterry!) and have been shopping for roms. I am currently running SuperD which is working great, however I really wanted to give a Sense rom a try. Any suggestions? Nothing too experimental, just something fast and stable enough for daily use. Thanks!
Well JC's hero was the fastest and stable but it ran on 1.5. If you want something 2.1-ish then use King's Droid Eris rom or Vega's Legend both are quite equal in speed and stability(imo). Running the Eris port(don't know why) and find myself frustrated on app load times and battery intake. I would consider not using 2.1 first though, I would actually recommend selling the G1 as not much is going on in the dev section OE is still in 2.0 development and nothing has come out of 2.1 yet that is full and stable/fast. Either you don't have to take my word for it . Have fun with your new-ish G1!
Off note-ish: Lotta people getting their G1 un-bricked eh?
Partitioned SDCard. 128MB at least. VegaMan's Legend ROM V0.9.1 is AMAZING! I can give you a version with LWP and LED's if you want?
^That would be good. Is it better than KiNgxKxlick Legend2G1 and DroidEris2G1?
Sense UI on Donut?
Is there a rom that run Sense that is based on Donut?
^Hey you are using Droid2ErisG1, how is the battery life?

Not too bad, but I don't use my phone much durring the day. Heavy use drains the battery bad.

So if I want Sense I am stuck with 2.1 builds? None are all that fast.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
no, you can have fast and stable sense on 1.5 roms. none 1.6. and sluggish on 2.1
Wow, thanks for all the tips. Looks like I have some experimenting to do. I'm thinking I'll give Vegaman's Legend a try and if that doesn't work out, wait for a better 2.1 sense build...can't see myself going back to 1.5 just for a few visual trinkets here and there.
@protomanez: mine wasn't exactly bricked...it was the stupid Rogers 911 update...so, about as useful as a brick

Is there a 2.1 build faster then Cyanogen 5.0.8

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was a Android 2.1 build faster then and as stable as Cyanogen 5.0.8? It feels alittle sluggish on my phone.
Thanks
Why are you using Eclair? Froyo was released ages ago... I'd recommend trying Jubeh's Froyo ROM.
is it faster though? I don't want to upgrade if it's going to use more of my memory.
Thanks
To be honest i've found SuperE to be more reliable than any current froyo rom. Ditto to chromatic

Well if you want speed you're going to need to go back a few months to the old OE roms, those were at easily at donut speeds, just that a bunch of stuff didn't work (3D, camcorder, launcher2). I remember those being amazing. Cromatic 3.9.1.1 is pretty cool though if you want a more recent, fully functioning rom. Make sure to fully wipe (or at least cache) if you want it to feel fast. I'm running that right now, I broke something I didn't want to fix on one of the CM6 nightlies, so I've been running a nandroid of chromatic and it runs pretty damn good.

We want Eclair ROMs too!

Please! I know that 2.2.1 is the new rage on the Milestone but not everyone wants to run a beta/buggy release yet that's not that great on battery.
Remember when XP Beta/Vista Beta/7 Beta came out? Some people ran them, but many eager tweakers still dual booted because a beta OS is not meant to be 24/7 stable.
Well same here. I don't mind playing with 2.2.1 from time to time, but I'd like a stable Eclair ROM.
I know there are Eclair ROMs out there, but calling all ROM devs, please don't just ditch 2.1 like that. There are great ROMs already out there, but we'd all appreciate it if you all kept up the great work and added/fixed stuff in those already awesome 2.1 ROMs.
I tend to agree. 2.2.1 is just too buggy and uses too much battery imo.
Telus lite is dammed nice

You did not try Cronos 1.5.0 did you? Anyhow I will bump a question to Feeyo if he could build up an Eclair AOSP rom.
Like 89luca89 said, there already are Eclair ROMs. And they were prety much developed to what they can be, so rly no point to further develop them, except for some theme changes not much can be improved on them.
It is hardly a month since 2.2.1 GOT leak, and the worse hickup(battery drain) seems to be finaly brought to Eclair level or will be in near future in some ROMs.
Maybe the last reason to use Eclair now is if you need cifs.ko module and some others not yet made for 2.2.

There's bugs. Look at the Telus lite thread and people talk about bugs. HoNo's own ROM has the music bug that brings it to the original Telus 2.1 level.
Which 2.2.1 rom has anywhere the batter life of the eclair roms? I'm nearly 16 hours into this charge and after heavy use I still have 40% battery left and I'm overclocked to 800mhz. I've tried a couple 2.2.1 roms and none come close to the performance I'm getting with the eclairmod. When battery life is as good as this, perhaps ill switch butbfor now I have no reason to switch.

Used it. It's pretty good but honestly 2.2.1 just isn't as fast as 2.1 right now... at least not yet

The last cm6 for milestone is way way better -batterywise- than stock 2.1,of course much faster,but the battery life is fantastic if you install it properly and maybe use conservative governor.
At 1000 mhz i m getting about 30 full hours with a little talking and a quite lot of surfing (i mean hours) both wifi and 3g or 2g if i want my battery to last e

well there is enough 2.1 and 2.2.1 ROMs around for everyone. I don't see the need for more.

CM7 to CM6 to correct "the wonk"?

Hello,
I have only had my N1 a few days and I am experiencing what I believe people refer to as "the wonk". What I am looking for is the most stable, rooted rom out there that has no such issues. I just want everything to work.
Should I downgrade back to CM6?
If I downgrade, do I have to change radios and/or HBOOT? I have upgraded these to the latest available.
Thanks for the info.
-D
Stable rom is cm6.1.1. I'm using that while cm7 tries to get stable and free of wonks.
Wonks only affect cm7.

Also note that the mic delays on incoming calls are a known gb issue and are not specific to cm as it is inherent in the stock Ota rom as well.
Thanks guys. I just noticed that this is in the incorrect forum. My apologies.
Mods, please delete or move to Q & A.
Thanks,

Why not just use DeWonkifier?
In my opinion, the "dewonkifier" is a band-aide and not a fix. I would prefer the phone have as clean and bug free code as possible.
I'll install CM7 when the wonk issues are corrected.
The gingerbread base doesnt offer enough for me to sacrifice usability of my phone.
I am disappointed that I upgraded from an Aria to an N1 and have to downgrade the software. I expected the N1 to have everything work perfectly since its the original flagship phone for Google.

Well the only thing holding back your nexus is you!. For my nexus the only bug is the 2 second delay and I can live with that. Dewonkificator ftw
Btw, CM7 is available for your aria too.
Cyan 6.1 is super stable and smooth, and fast. Its also much more feature complete right now over cyan 7. They are still bringing all the features over to 2.3. So its a very good experience using cyan 6 right now.

I will stick to cm 6. 1. 1 if your looking for stable. I gone back to it. I wait for stable release of cm7. Cm6 is much smoother and no wonkiness.

[email protected]'s SuperAosp is awesome. It's lightning fast gingerbread without the wonk. Everything seems stable enough to me- I've never had any issues at all with it.

I actually found CM7 with Launcher PRO to be buttery smooth, more so than CM6. My quadrant score dropped a little, but who cares. No wonk for me though.

i find cyan 6 smoother though. my quadrant scores dropped a good bit on cyan 7, but also things scroll laggy like tapatalk threads, certain long lists, handcent threads, etc. these were smooth in froyo. though i agree launcher pro homescreens are buttery smooth on cyan 7. its just other things arent for me.

[Q] Fastest G1 Rom

Hey
I am giving my g1 to mom. I got a nexus s for $35 (I Know.......Awesome). I wanted a rom that is very fast stable and run basic apps like opera mini gmail and friendcaster with ease. I was hoping for a donut rom with 2708 kernel.
I dont want FBL. It is the best g1 Rom but it get slow after time and my mom in not a patience person to wait for a app.
Also is there a way to lock dialer in memory.
Thanks a lot guys

I use dream team froyo (ics themed) with no Google apps and it is rather fast

dreamteam froyo is very fast. I used it since November and it hasn't slowed down at all
If you want donut, take Enomther's Official rom in combination with the 14MB ram hack. That's really fast ... unfortunately I do not like the old fashioned layout and I am missing some GB features, otherwise ...

I switched from FBL to the Dreamteam Froyo ROM a little while back and the difference was incredibly noticeable. You're right that FBL seems to slow down, but even when I first installed FBL it was still slower than the Dreamteam ROM is now. I've noticed no slow down in the week or so I've been using it, very impressed. I was considering going back to Donut just to get better performance, but this has impressed me enough to stick with Froyo and keep all of its benefits.
Link?

This.
G1 is not as fast on newer firmwares, as it was on donut.
