So is kingxklick's froyodesire2 nexus the best froyo sense? Im currently on modoca sense r21 an i want froyo an want to keep sense... so as i see in kings changelog everything works for his rom even bluetooth, just wanted to ask if this is the best one or anothers devs froyo sense is better?
Wrong forum.
I've been switching between kings rom and Evil's rom for a while now, and so far im sticking with evils...
I've used kings and evils and evils is better. The camera actually takes pictures at the correct resolution and it benches higher. The theme is uglier but you can change it to regular sense
how do you change it to regular sense, thats why i switched from evils. its ugly

I don't think you can go wrong with either Evil's or King's roms. I have run them both off and on and they are both great. I am currently using King's v1.2 and I am staying with it for now. I like that he kept the stock look of Sense and I like that he doesn't include the HTC_IME_MOD so I can skin my own keyboards. Evil seems to have dialed in some of the apps a little better such as the flashlight having all three brightness levels and the camera not distorting the preview (just the preview in King's, the picture is fine) but in the end they both work equally well for me. I would probably switch back to Evil's rom if he offered a stock looking alternative. I know my gripes with Evil's rom are cosmetic and can be undone with a little effort, but I dont have to do anything to achieve the same look with King's rom...just my opinion.
I have never tried Evil's Sense Rom, but from what I gather in the thread, there are still graphical errors. I Can't get past that, as Sense is supposed to be elegant and beautiful, and little lines of color whenever you press a button just doesn't cut it. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
For the same reason, I didn't use king's for the longest time. He fixed it back in the beta.
The only downside to king's is he sacrificed FM support for bluetooth, which was more "in-demand".
I have since switched back to stock froyo...The lack of a customizable launcher and uncertain kernel really outweighed the main reason I went to sense in the first place: weather animation (as shallow as that must sound lol).
I say try em both! Hell, if you have the time and bandwidth, DL Rodiguezstyle's iteration, try all three, then base an opinion off of first hand experience. That's how I always do it
So basically the only diffrences are cosmetic An bluetooth, are they smooth an reliable?
*i want to keep the wireless tether from r21 that im currently on how do i go about doing that

Hey guys,
Could anyone suggest to me the fastest, most stable ROM for my G1 that doesn't run into any issues (especially from everyday use).
I've used plenty of them, mainly sourcing off Cyanogen but I seem to always get some delays especially with my phone, so many people have told me they tried ringing me but went straight to voicemail and my phone has no missed calls or anything, just sitting idle and this is a major pain.
I'm currently on the original version waiting to upgrade, is there an official Cupcake version I can download? My calls coming in quickly are more important than themes right now.
Thanks!
Im using CSDIv1....its a FAST rom. I dont have Swap enable(Sucks battery) nor 10MB Ramhack(Like my 3D apps), and still its a really fast rom.
There is only one problem with it, and its that the Keyboard is on Spanish. But you can change it just pushing a folder to the system, and voila. If you need some asistance, just ask.
I suggest the latest MghtyMax ROM. Is the fastest and stable Hero ROM I've tested.
super d 1.8...i made the switch from Cyanogen a few weeks ago and its been 100% worth it. Super D's rom is lighting fast I promise and i had a problem with missed texts on CM's rom and have not had that problem since i switched.

I keep hearing this, and as soon as my class 6 micro comes in, I think Im gonna have to try it.
Its hard to believe, as I just flashed cyanogen 4.2.14.1 ands its freakin fast. Hard to believe theres a faster one.
Guess I ll have to give it a shot. Has anyone actually tried cyanogens newest and compared it to super d 1.8? Is it really THAT much faster?

@dmm0816
Nice. My new card should be here tomorrow. I ll flash tomorrow then. Hoping the higher class card will make some difference too.
Thanks for your help man.
For everyday use you want Cyanogen.
For Speed get either FastTest or SuperD. They're basically the same thing.
Hope this helps.
I suggest DarkStar theme for Cyanogen and SuperD
I use king's 2.3 hero rom, I only use hero roms anyway though, best normal rom I've tried, however is super d. although, cyanogen is very "noob friendly"

Hmm..Im curious why you say that. What makes Cyanogen more "everyday useable"? What would you actually say are the biggest differences in the 2 roms?
Really they're all apples, just different flavours. From what I've read, they all have the same bits and bites from Eclair; cyanogen's modded code (right?). I personally pick CM over everything else because the community support for CM is a larger, more discussion. Of course, this doesn't mean the other ones are inferior. You should try them all for like a day or two. Wipe before you try a new one, so you can tell which one really works best.
2.1 Roms on the other hand I think need more work. Not all the drivers work yet. I tried OpenEclair and I felt a bit handicap compared to the 1.6 Roms. Also, for me at least, it didn't feel as fast as the 1.6 Roms. Good roms but need more work.
I was running Cyonogen for some time and I was pleased but I love to experiment. For the last 2 weeks I've been testing the 2.1 ASOP roms out from King(1.5) and Enclair (1.15). Both are great builds but I prefer the customization in enclair more and both are fairly stable. I was having the issue of texts getting deleted and the Rom's just seemed like they were not as quick as I wanted them to be. I enjoyed the new layout but I was finally just frustrated with overall performance and I keep reading about the Super D build. I wiped my phone and threw it on few hours ago and WOW! It is blazing fast and very stable from what I can see so far. I've tried some apps out that were proving difficult before and just wow I am amazed. This build may be on the 1.6 based side but I am glad to have performance back over some "prettyness". I may try the 2.1 builds again but I will wait for all of the kinks to work out. So my opinion is hands down Super D ( I believe it was 1.8 v) is the best build available right when looking at overall performance and stability. I love it! Made my day!
*on a side note*
I could never get Youtube to install and work with the enclair ASOP 2.1 builds, it was very frustrating as you cannot download the app from the app store and issues installing manually via the APK.
I found AmonRa 1.6.3 to be the fastest and stable ROM, in my opinion
Rgds
I want speed, stabilitiy and normal functionality for the phone for my girlfriend. It looks like the Cyanogen is the safest bet... am I right to infer that 2.0/2.1 ROMs aren't quite up to snuff yet?

In my experience, 1.6 will always be snappier then 2.0/2.1 builds; at least for now. Our G1s don't exactly have a huge amount of space to store bigger ROMs. Really having 2.1 isn't necessary but it does have some nice features that 1.6 doesn't have. Like ability to have multiple google accounts and facebook sync. I can't really think of anything else of the top of my head but I'm sure there are at least a few others.
One thing people haven't gotten to work on 2.1 ROMs for G1, is the video camera. Camera works though on most 2.1 ROMs now (all?). The new contacts display for 2.1 is nice but even laggier then the one used in 1.6 ROMs. Can't think of anything else, someone help!
Basically, 2.1 has a lot more STUFF in general. Whether you need this extra stuff is up to you, because STUFF needs more RAM stuff, and G1 is low in that department.
My opinion:
MghtyMax 1.9.1 is veeeery fast!!! (with Swap, SetCpu and all that stuff, of course)
I like any of the Roms from King's collection and I like Super-D verry much too. Cyanogen's rom has a larger community cause that's normally what people hear when learning about rooting and stuff. I only used Cyan when I compared Enom to Cyan and Enom's was faster and everything was great.Super-D is faster than Cyan but seems slower than Enom's, Cyan has the eclair stuff just like Super-D. But I think its up to what you like you cant let others decide cause their perception of speed is diff from yours.
Fast Test v. 2.3
Its pretty much a super d rom with the darkstar theme embeded within.
No fcs at all. I recommend it highly!!

I just actually read about that rom, and it seems good. What makes me wonder though, is that some people say its faster than Super D. How could it actually be faster, as this rom is more or less just Super D with a theme installed? Surely, having the theme installed would decrease performance buy a little bit, vs increase it.
But what do I know
Edit: Ok, Im stupid. as Fast Test doesnt have the Eclaire stuff, thats where a performance increase would come. **slams head on keyboard**
Super D, hands down. No rom even comes close.
And Fast Test 2.3 IS Super D, just with a theme, so unless you want that specific theme, there's no point in getting Fast Test, when Super D is available.
I swear... I can't decide, I keep switching back and forth, and I LOVE sense UI, especially since it's froyo now. But it seems slower compared to stock, and not as fully functional, but stock is damn boring. I love how sense is so connected to twitter and facebook.
This is literally making my brain hurt and just snap.
Keeping me from Sense:
A tiny bit laggy at times.
Trackball colors.
Camcorder.
The beauty of root access is the ability to switch between roms as you wish therefore you don't have to decide which one you want to use. In other words I would use both.

But switching ROM's 2-3 times a day just kills it for me, reinstalls... freezes.. GAH. I want sense, but fast and mostly working. I need King's v1.0.
im not sure if you have tried Rodriguez's Froyo Sense ROM but its really good. doesnt have that Sense dock that i really like but the rom itself is really good. u should try it out....if u dont mind the color green being all over
just get each ROM working, then nand backup each one. now you can bounce back and forth to decide which you want to use.
personally that is why i use stock because i feel its smoother and faster than sense, although sense is very nice.
Off topic: Thread title reminded me of this and I laughed
On topic: Sense is nice, but I find it gets boring. I'm not sure why though. If anything it should be more interesting. At any rate, I much prefer stock.
I use “stock” (cyanogen) with sense apk’s.. Ie the fancywidget.apk... Best of both worlds
Also... Adw and launcher pro are both superior to stock and sense...

youre not doing it right... install one rom... set it up the way you like... do nandroid backup
install other rom, set that up the way you like and do a nandroid...
just install the nandroid backup to whatever rom u want to use
I don't like Rod's Sense ROM. It is weirdly slow as hell for me, just waiting on King's 1.0 now... It has working Camera and bluetooth finally! Wish I could dual boot though.

Got Kingklick's FroyoSense 1.0 rom. Recommend it highly for any Sense lover! Runs great and fast, with video recording working and 5mp camera.
Thanks kingklick!
BTW, I hate nandroid restoring... it takes a while.
Currently Using Fresh(awesome rom), IYO what's the best stock Android to try?
I, as a Sprint Tech, am a picky picky SOB when it comes to customizing my phones. I have tried a ton of different ROMS on my Hero since employees cannot upgrade to EVO's, so I've flung myself deep into playing with the cool stuff you guys have here.
Love stock Android, EVEN Love Stock Sense UI. So naturally I have Fresh.
Not really into overclocking, and JIT is a no no as it breaks the Doggcatcher Podcast App. But I do underclock so that my battery last the typical 45-50 hours I currently get out of it using the overclock widget.
Sprint VVM is a must(which I have the apk for just in case, as is the stock HTC weather/clock app. Definately use google's nav/maps app and Places, but the rest of googles built in apps are crap (goggles/gtalk/etc).
I don't theme but I have a stock plain black wallpaper (pitch black no designs or anything) and I do like the HTC sense black taskbar with normal white font and I always patch in that cool HTC Desire battery indicator with the color changing circle and percentage inside...I know...I'm picky, LOL. I'd probably have to find a modded black taskbar to get rid of the ugly gray one that comes with stock Vanilla Android, but what can I say, I like simply black and black themes usually add to much extra stuff I can do without.
So...any suggestions??
Yes, I'm hard to put up with as far as this stuff goes, but I know what I want, and being that I'm one step away from creating my own darn ROM at this point because as great as the work is done by you guys already, I find it hard to grab one or two of everyone's stuff and not end up messing up something else...
LOL hey, it's hard being a tech for 16 years in this business and not want complete control over things, haha, plus, I don't mind the challenge, it's what I live for.
Thanks in advance and hey, if my lofty goals are too high, be blunt, be honest, tell me to make my own ROM, whatever, I'm all ears.
Thanks again.
Well im not sure if this is a stock rom..i think it is tho.
But im using FRESH TOAST 2.1 with Darchshizz #4 kernel.
Works great..and i have had no problems what so ever so far. althought FRESH 2.3.3 is an amazing ROM also.
Try Nfinite's stock deodexed rom, it is literally stock but deodexed so you can do whatever you like to it. He also provides zips to 2 circular battery icons in the Zenherofx thread which I love. BTW, fresh toast is an overclock dev rom that isn't nearly as stable as any of these.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
oops should have clarified, wanting stock vanilla android (like Nexus One or as close to) for Hero, I have stock Sense UI with the latest Fresh, isn't Nfinite's also sense UI or are the screenshots I'm seeing incorrect? Looks Like sense but I may be viewing the wrong ones.
Thanks for the input.
Lol I though you meant you did want Sense (stock), in that case, you should try out Darchdroid or sCrOm, Darch is super fast and stable and sCrOm is also aosp but has several built-in theme choices. Check these out in the Android Development section.

how ironic!
I know right, meh, I likes what I likes. I do a lot of ROM hopping, so think the best of both worlds at a pretty much even ground 0 with not much flair is kinda cool.
Oh cool note, I took apart an Epic 4G 2 months ago, that screen is Sharp as a tack. Wish I could port that bad boy into an EVO, not that the EVO screen is bad either but if the connections from Samsung on both screens were the same (Where HTC was getting their screens from until they had to switch over to Sony to keep up with the demand) and the size was 4.3 (think Samsung EPIC's at 4 straight) it would be a cool Mod to do. Then again, not sure if the board has the right drivers from the hummingbird chip versus the Qualcomm Snapdragon to properly run it but that'd be a fun DIY'er if the sizes were matched.
Hey,
i would like to know if there is any alternative ROM for the work of MoDaCos Desire-Port? His version doesn't seem to work for me. I have call wonks and could not resolve the issues withe dewonkificator
I would like to have the stock desire version
Any chances?
THIS any good for you?
Yeah that would be nice
But that ROM is toooo alpha for me, though i didn't try it by myself (just read from others). Seems that i have to wait for that ROM to be finished.
Though i had similar experiences on my old HD2 -> the small and clean desire-ROMs were always a lot faster than the new ports
What makes you want a Desire ROM in the first place? If it's just the Sense 'look', like the clock for instance, you could achieve that with various widgets and apps.
firstly i find the sense-thing very attractive....
secondly i am sure that the camera works very well with the desire-port - especially i want wide screen (that has no stock foryo or gingerbread)
3. I want everything working and all those CM7 release candiates don't satisfy me with their wonks
I dont know, but i think with htc sense one could get the most instant access to applications and so on - everything is thought out quite well and it takes minimal effort to get done things done.
The eye-candy is not so important...
What would you recommend?
P.S.: i need it smooth
Use the older Sense ports, Froyo, from Desire or Desire HD.
Look for eVIL D:'s ROMs, or MicroMod's.
MM's HD Desire is very good and stable, love widescreen
Read Op page before flashing
Need 1gb ext
I hope you all don't mind me asking (and if you do, I apologize), but...
What are the great "WOW Factor" roms out here that are current , up-to-date and stable (or fairly so)
I've researched, gotten frustrated, asked for a little help when needed and the current result...
A successful rooting of my Nexus One... my cherry has been popped.
The only things is... I had higher expectations from the experience. It was like having a hot erotic dream and your about to have the mother of all orgasms when your alarm clock goes off waking you up
I researched HTC Desire Sense UI Rom, but that seems to be out of date and not really supported anymore.
I want pizazz and flare... a super cool UI (which Gingerbread seems to lack), awesome themes and more. I want to look into my phone and have a visual orgasm... but so far, bupkis.
Details that may be of use...
Amon_Ra's Recovery used: recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM

Thank you to everyone who suggests roms and such that will WOW the panties off me.
PS... I am a total noob, so please keep this in mind... I'm not hip to all the techno jargon. lol
Shortly put, there is none.
have you considered MIUI? , it has an i-phoney look if thats your thing
Hero with Sense 2.3
MIUI easily has the most radical change in UI from stock but I'd say that a feature filled ROM like CM7 might be more to your liking. It's GB based but has a large theme base and a long list of features. I like CM7 but always end up coming back to a stable, fast stock ROM like MCR or Evervolv.
Ok, let me elaborate further on the issue. I've been looking myself lately at the ROM selection, trying to find what would be the best ROM for giving the Nexus to my wife, and got to these conclusions:
1) Pure Gingerbread ROMs are stable enough, but there are several annoying Gingerbread bugs that make the experience not-so-stellar.
2) Old Froyo stock ROMs are stable, but aren't too pretty and consistent, except Sense UI ROMs. Generally, plain Android sucks badly in a few key areas of usability - launcher (semi-curable but with some annoying quirks), dialer (curable but also with annoying quirks), stock email (that's the way it is).
3) MIUI looks great in the beginning, but it's bug-ridden and can't be considered stable.
4) 99% of the ROMs can't be considered fully functional - usually I find bugs in overall usability within less than a day.
I've tried DesireHD and MIUI on my friends. DHD is stable and nice but sometimes lags (when syncing), MIUI is nice but not stable and has bugs. Also, DHD doesn't have the native hotspot.
So for my wife I've settled on Desire ROM, which has the good copy-paste by HTC (the only feature I wanted from Gingerbread, - this and the cool screen off animation), nice integrated dialer and mail, and has everything functional but USB tether.
