Ive always been a huge fan of cyanogen but since RC1-2 I get a huge amount of FCs and I feel limited to what I want to do due to the FCs. Seemed to me that RC2 was worse than 1 so I am on 1. This will be the first time I steered away from a cyan rom, so Im asking for some assistance. I just cant understand how messed up cyan roms are now since froyo came out. I get random FCs, I get the from playing music, placing widgets...etc the list goes on. It was worse on RC2, random reboots and more FCs. Im trying to wait it out for a stable version but i cant do it anymore
Sounds like you did not wipe completely to me.
try to wipe ALL then try again. If that doesn't work then you could try LeoFroyo. It is my favourite (if that matters )
i wiped on 1 but not on 2. ill try and wipe now and give it a run, if not ill try the LeoFroyo
I suggest Enomther's, and try to wipe and reinstall CM6-RC2 before switching.
Give rods rom a go its fast stable and looks awesome http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692609 give it a go....

Hello everyone! Last night I spent about 3 hours installing the JACXHERO-v2.6.6 rom onto my Tmobile G1 using a method from unlockr.com (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how...g-best-method/). Unfortunately, it runs extremely slow right now.
For example, when i press home after sending a text message it goes to the HTC screen and simply sits there for about 30 seconds. At first I thought this was due to the weather widget updating but even when I took it off it still does this. Another thing is that it will sometimes take 10 seconds to switch screens when i slide my finger.
I know I am still new to this and realize there are some veterans on this forum that have a lot more experience with this. Can anyone please suggest to me what to do?
The bottom line is, all i want to do is run a stable and lag free (or fast) Rom.
Thanks guys!
i am taking a few liberties...
from the line, that you want a stable and fast rom, i assume you would like another rom besides hero. so download the latest stable rom off of cyanogen's thread.
after you download it and put it on your sdcard go into recovery then to the recovery console and type
Code:
mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
that will format your ext3 partition.
now type in the recovery console
Code:
reboot recovery
once the phone boots up into recovery again, wipe the phone then flash the rom, then reboot when it is finished.
alright will do but i was wondering if you could give me a step by step instruction on how to do all this (like i said im very new to this sort of thing) =/ im sorrry

i'm no rocket surgeon but here goes
download rom
place on root (no folders) of sdcard
power down phone
boot into recovery with home and power
scroll down to recovery console
enter command above to format ext3.
then type reboot recovery to boot back into recovery
select data wipe/factory reset
press home to confirm
now select flash any .zip (assuming you have cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image, if not, name rom to update in windows or update.zip for mac/linux prior to putting on phone, then select apply update.zip sdcard instead of any .zip)
hit home after selecting your rom (again 1.4 recovery)
when it is done flashing select reboot
happiness is yours.
yes you must wipe the phone and your ext3 partition since you are coming from hero to AOSP (cupcake/donut) (opposite applies as well).

i still have jac 1.4 on my computer. i thought about flashing it once just to see how HUGE the improvement in hero roms has gotten
[ROM]JACxHEROSki-v2.1 - Experimental
...that's all I have to say.

So are you saying Cyanogen's "experimental" builds aren't fast? If you were following the Hero scene closely you would know that every Hero build is "experimental," some just happen to be faster than others.
I recommend flashing one of the new ROMs such as Hero2 1.5.1, Modaco 2.2 (requires some tweaking to get flying), JACHEROSki 1.7r2(older but more stable/fast), or Drizzy's 1.4r1
NOTE: this is just my OPIONION
Cyanogens, is based on doughnut, so it looks the same as cupcake etc.. with custom enhancements (personally i think its fantastic)
The hero roms (in my experiance) its a case of reading the threads and trying a few to see what runs / works best for you
thanks a lot guys! it really helped! i have one quick question though
a lot of you have been recommending hero2 1.5.1 rom and i just watched a video on youtube for it where the guy was explaining how fast it was lol (and from the looks of it his seemed to have no lag when scrolling from left to right a bunch of times even with widgets)
my question is: is it really much faster and more stable? there are so many times where i'll be in my messages or something and i press the home key and theres a loading screen for like 30 seconds...i used the unlockr.com's method to partition my sd card to ext3 and what not
if i download and install the new hero rom, what are some suggestions on how to make it run faster?
people keep mentioning 96 mb partition or something like that and i have no idea what there talking about or how to do it
also, just in case i want to go back to the original os that came with the phone, how do i do it?
try moving the cache that is the first thing to do with hero there is a lot of maintence that go along with hero
i have had my ATT N1 for a few months now and all has been great. I rooted awhile back and have been using Cyanogen 5.0.7 to great success. I have the pershoot kernal and never really had any issues.
Well, that has all changed. Recently I have been rebooting any many different occasions. It almost always does it when I am in Maps and navigation, which is not good because I need it in my life having relocated.
I have decided that maybe I will look to update my Cyanogen or maybe go over to 2.2. I did this today and still having these issues. I tried Kang and it still rebooted randomly and when I tried Modacos r17 it just would keep rebooting at the setup screen. I think that has to do with not having the stock kernal.
Any clues as to what is happening? I really need help and do not want to stop using Android, but I need my phone to be reliable.
If it happens on any ROM and with no correlation to anything - sounds like HW problem.
Did you use overclocked kernel?
I do have a overclocked under volted kernal
sounds like bad sw. get back to stock 2.1 update 1 (if you can) and see if your phone is stable...
WIPE all ( everything ) , and flash 2.2

Follow those 3 easy steps there !
Does your phone lock up (unresponsive) before rebooting?
Phone doesnt lock up. I tried wiping evertyhing but could not wipe the sd partition. Is that necessary? I have done full wipe's (data, dalvik, & cache) and still had similar results. I have updated my kernal to the newest pershoot and I installed Kang .9b1 and so far have only had 1 rebbot. It happened when I was in the browser and went to a flash heavy site to see how it worked. Is there any 2.2 roms that keep it close to stock? I am not a total fan of adw launcher.
Have a look in this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703687
I'm really determined to figure out what is causing this issue for so many people! I've managed to cure my reboots for the time being, and it seems it is kernel related. That said, we need as many people as possible to give feedback as experiences seem to differ in regards to the ROMs and Kernels people are using.
Regards.
I looked over that thread and see some similarities but it is still not totally consistent with my issues. I am running Kang now fine but still have reboots that I won't call so random anymore. It happens when I use Maps for the first time, and definitely when I go to a flash site on the browser.
I cannot successfully use any other ROM since once I install it it goes into boot loop. This is driving me crazy and do not like the thought of being stuck to one ROM since it is the complete reason I bought this phone.
Ok so this is my first post here, and I'm sort of a noob so I'm sorry if these questions are too noobish...
First, I rooted my HTC hero last night, but I tried to install the rom (fresh 2.3.3) before wiping so I got stuck in this perpetual loop of the startup screen, had to wait until the phone ran out of battery and then did a wipe of data/ext and rebooted. Everything worked fine from there, and it seems to be working normally, BUT I'm wondering if this means everything installed correctly, or if I should just go through the process again.
Second, when I connect my phone to the computer I notice that I have the .zip of the image still in my phone's root. Can I delete this or is it necessary for the phone's function?
Third, are there any other roms people would suggest? I like vanilla android (not a sense fan), and I heard of a rom called Darchdroid. I was wondering how this stacks up to fresh 2.3.3...I'm looking for the smoothest experience possible (not a fan of the minor lag that happens in fresh)
And fourth, if I decide I want to get rid of Fresh and try a new rom, what is the procedure for wiping my phone clean and installing the new rom? (sorta noobish I know...)

a bit noobish myself, but I think I can answer a bit regardless, anyone feel free to correct me...
1: if everything is working, great! if you dont feel comfortable, and dont mind resetting everything up, go ahead, do it again, cant hurt. whenever reflashing/new flashing, Dont Forget to make a nandroid and wipe! (and you can rename the backups in USB disk mode so you know which ones are what, otherwise go by the embedded date in the autogen'd title. in the nandroid folder on your SD card btw)
2: as far as I know, leave it?
3: HUGE fan of Darchs work, cant go wrong... keep in mind it does not have VisVoicemail in it, fix flash needed.
4: reboot into recovery, make a nadroid backup, WIPE!, flash the new one according to cookers intructions! done! (if ya dont like it, buggy, nandroid restore back to your last good one you did like!)
well I reinstalled the rom and wiped first...and everything is running way smoother than last time. I don't know what in the world happened or what was going on but I'll take it as it is
I've had CM6 final on my G1 for awhile, but it's giving me problems, like i cant open CyanogenMod Settings. i've reflashed, done a data wipe, reflashed, but it still wont work. So, i'm gonna downgrade to RC3, but i'm not sure how. Do i make a Nandroid and then flash RC3? or is there something else i have to do?
any info would be appreciated.
just wipe and flash RC3 + gapps
I left the final version for RC3 too... solely because of the battery life
batt life on RC3 is goooooddd
thanks, Adamsville. do i flash the gapps-mdpi-tiny-20100816-signed.zip? or a different gapps?
crap. i did a wipe and flashed CM6 RC3 and the GAPPS, but now Market is force closing.
OH GOD! MARKET FORCE CLOSES?! OH NO! WATCH OUT, YOUR PHONE MIGHT TURN INTO AN iPHONE 4! It's Force Closes. Fix Permissions, and move on. Next time, dont ask questions about downgrading. Just Flash a ROM.
I am in dier (sp?) need of a new rom. I'm currently running cyanogen ..dont know what version but its the purple glass one. Lately everything is coming up as errors, my camera doesnt even work 98% of the time, and it takes about 3 minutes just to dial someone.
So question of the day: I was told by someone I consider "superior in phreaker knowledge" that I shouldnt run 2.3 on my phone. Mainly because his is *so much better than mine* but whatever.
I just need a good rom, a FAST one. I am open to suggestions. And if running 2.3 on my hero is stable and fast then I am open to it. preferably something less glitchy.
Try aosp's new gb build
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
I ran cyanogen 6 for a while, then Jaybobs extblue froyo build for about 6 months. I've had Aosp's gingerbread mod since Feb, and it is by far the best rom I've ever had.
Yep asop 2.3 best rom I have tryed

+800%. The AOSP Froyo build is awesome, but there is nothing like showing off our little Heroes running Gingerbread like a dream. AOSP 2.3 is damn good.
As of the 4/21 build of AOSP, I would highly recommend it as the go-to gingerbread rom. CM7 and Gingersense are all well and good, but nothing has felt quite as snappy as this build (ymmv). It's also a smaller download than the others by a good margin. Not to mention GB includes a built in CPU governor, so you'll no longer need SetCPU. Seriously, just try it out.
ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! ive tried flashing 2.3 3 times now. ive tried re-downloading the file, tried downloading it to the phone and via sugarsync, tried wiping everything and it keeps showing "android" then goes to set up, then back to android, then back to set up. guess im going with 2.2
What all are you wiping before you flash?
followed a guide since it'd been over 6 mns since my last flash. did the factory reset, wiped cache, i think those were the only 2 options it gave me to wipe.

First, if you have the sprint radio that ends in .27, you should upgrade it to .29. Second, if you don't have clockworkmod recovery, get it because it wipes all the correct stuff. Third, go to this site and follow the step by step: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Sprint_HTC_Hero
Definitely get ClockworkMod set as your recovery. I'm not even using the newest one and it works great. Every time I go to a new rom, I wipe the user data, cache, battery stats, and dalvik cache.
i already use rom manager and clockworkrecovery 2.3 just did NOT want to install correctly on my hero, so I went with asop (sp?) 2.2 and it worked perfectly. I love my hero once again- very fast.
Omg this Tom has been the answer to my battery nightmare. Since flashing, I can go all day without my phone dying (and I use it a LOT!)
