Hey I was looking for a new ROM on my new G1. I would like something with a nice digital clock widget, a messaging widget, and just many downloadable widgets. My brother has Hero on his G1 and I love, the only problem is that I don't like the fact that if you slide it up it just freezes... So are there any somewhat similar to Hero but can slide?

As of right now, no. This is because the actual Hero doesn't have the keyboard, and so when you slide it up, it tries to force Rosie into widescreen which it doesn't support, ergo, the crash. You'll just have to live with it. However, Drizzy has been making some progress with that and has actually gotten Rosie to run with the keyboard open though it crashes and then reloads Rosie when you open the keyboard. He said he'd look into it more so follow his twitter for more info.
EDIT: Forgot to say. Hero ROM's are the only one with a messaging widget. You can download the Digital Clock widget from the market for a small price. I don't know the name of the widget exactly, just do a search for it in the theme section, it was mentioned in there a few times i believe.
There aren't any messaging widgets like the one on the Hero roms. You can download ANY widget to any rom though, just search the market for widgets and see what you find. Hero shouldn't freeze when you "slide up" whatever that means, if your talking about the keyboard when your on the home screen that is because they don't rotate, only in programs. If you mean some other type of slide then most likely your brother didn't do a proper linux-swap partition or it is to small. Anyway you need to just try the different roms and see what you like best, also some themes offer extra widgets and features but remember you can get any widget to any rom, just not the Hero/HTC Rosie widgets because HTC's stuff is closed source so we can't port it.
Ok thanks guys. So can I have the original and like non experimental link to hero. I use to search box and only find mods of it, and I guess I am just iffy on the mods. Anybody mind giving me the link to the newest and best quality ROM for Hero? Thanks In Advance

The modded ones are the best ones. The unmodded original is veryyyyy slow compared to the new ones. I would try JACHeroski 2.1 or MoDaCo 1.51 are both fast, stable choices.

All heros are technically "experimental". I haven't messed with the new Drizzy. I'm still putting JacHeroSki 2.1 throught it's paces. I can recommend it. There are people who like each of the different incarnations of hero.
What I suggest is going to the DEV section and read. Decide on your own. Hell, you can flash them all with switchrom. Have some fun and learn some cool stuff.
so good roms

got hero and switchrom working. i still like jacxrom best. but it is cool to ba able to switch when i get the whim. i have cayn 4.0.4, xrom 1.5r3, and this tinyhero i found. it seams to run faster than most other hero roms. tho it has been striped down alot.

Switchrom for the win. Seriously.. haha Yeah JACxRom is pretty decent. But as far as hero have you tried HERO2 - Freedom of choice? If not I think you'll be impressed. I flash FoC when it was first released and it wasn't anything to write home about but now? Dang.. it's fast. Wicked Fast. Try it out!

i know the hero builds are built on 1.5 and donut has kind of been focused on more since its release.
but does anybody have a nand hero build complete with nomorootfs, i loved the sense hero port that jamezelle made but i just like the convince of the .Tar file.
if its not something that you dev's are really going to focus on thats ok too, you guys are awesome and im just happy that android has come this far

what if myn put his great skills to a sensui (hero or tattoo) build and got it running almost as speedy as warm donut? now that would be awesome. I'm thinking a tattoo build for native res, plus the new market fix, at warmdonut speeds. that would be amazing.

ik much love for the devs. I just feel like myns warmdonut is pretty much complete. I feel like a snappy sense build would be a challenge he would love to take on (and quite successfully I'm guessing)

But somehow they have time for customizeable button layouts?
I'm all for a nomorootfs hero build if someone is willing to do the work. If not, I'll be ok too. At this point I'm just glad I was able to get windows mobile off of my phone.

we dont have a customizable button layout so obviously no
It's definitely possible. I bet jamezelle would give myn a crack at 'fixing' his old build.
Although maybe a new port is due...

What's wrong with this one?
2.1 Sense FTW.
Hero builds on the vogue have two issues. Firsly the bluetooth doesn't work, because hero frameworks handle BT differently. And secondly the camera doesn't work properly either. You have to use a third party camera app.
I can probably update someone's old version to work, but as far as I can remember the sense build runs about the same speed..
I'll have a look later this week.

Adding Sense/Rosie to Donut is like adding 10,000lbs to a Ferrari .

True, but you still have the bragging rights about having a Ferrari.... and some extra bragging bonus points for having something that actually weights that much
I'll talk to James I'm sure he won't mind at all if I update his build
I was trying to get some nice live wp on my G1 today. First I looked up the optimized Nexus dump wallpapers, but they did not work on my phone, all but the weird clock FCd as soon as I tried to open them. But every other live WP works.
My question is: is there any lwp what is an exact (or more-or-less) copy of the Nexus one LWP "Water", "Galaxy", and "Grass"? Or, any way to get the nice sea-shore one from Galaxy S?
Grass: Beautiful Live Weather
Galaxy: I forget the name, but there's one that looks similar, and is, in my opinion, better. More animation-y.
Water: Nottachance.
Galaxy S ones don't seem to work on G1, sorry mate. Upgrade and you'll be good ;P

Do you mean Galactic Core? Got it, but it is slow. I like the Galaxy one better, but it just won't work.

Water: that's sad. I loved it.
GalaS ones: That's why I said something like them. I can't upgrade, here where I live (Hungary) those phones cost a lot, and thanks to our govenrment, payments are under the a*s of the frog :S
Live wallpaper on g1 is worthless. maybe to just show your friends you can do it for a minute. But your friend probably already has an evo. And is running it for real anyway. G1 is really affected by live wallpaper. And runs like ****. Especially with these new bigger roms like 2.2 why do it. Your cpu and battery are greatly affected. And can't handle it.

Nexus revamped. Its the nexus lwp made for our phones. Its really good.

Yes I have that. But you have to cut down on some stuff to make it run somewhat ok
