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.

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

Can you PM me a version with LWP and LED's too?
I would also like the LWP version if you do not mind.
I thought that this should get its own thread. In light of recent events, i am now trying to try to port froyo to the dinc. If anyone is interested...well notify me
YES! Most Def.
I already have one person on my waiting list, so i take it that u want to be on my list, too?
Can you add sense to it...? Of course with the option to run it when you want

I agree 100%, nothing against the N1, but I would have gotten one if I liked the UI--I had enough of it on the G1, I'm glad to have a very fast sense and would like to keep it with 2.2!
I for one dislike sense. I prefer the stock vanilla ui, but if i can port sense to froyo than i wont hesitate in doing so
si senior.
vanillia Froyo all the way!!
Of course, sense with an official release of Froyo
I think this is a no brainer, most if not all want froyo
I like sense, but I would take it either way
A de-sensed froyo would be great. Even a de-sensed 2.1 would be nice. I really like the vanilla android
i'm definitely interested in some froyo action on my inc
If not full Froyo, at least its version of the gmail app to replace the stock one on the INC...
Vanilla android is awesome. I miss it after coming from the droid.
I've been waiting for froyo since the day I got this phone! So yes, count me in for wanting it!

I agree, which is why I don't completely understand why it needs it's own thread and why it's in the development section instead of general (since you are pretty much taking a poll).
If you are really going for a 2.2 port, I suggest getting together/talking to already well-known porters/Incredible coders if you aren't already, as a similar task may already be going on and the more the merrier (also faster =p).

+1 It's almost like asking if we want root... I doubt too many are hoping to install 2.0 or 1.6 on the phone.
Froyo allows rotation of the main android screens right? I hate that when my Inc is in my car dock(landscape) the main screens never rotate!
So yes, once I can get rooted, I would love Froyo for my Incredible. (I like sense too!)
TY
Hey rr12106 I would love to have froyo when its ready. Thanks for the effort.
I love the speed and low battery consumption of FroYo, but miss htc sense, I have seen the theme for cyanogenmod, but that just changes menus etc, I want my calendar, widgets, and dialer back.
Did this already happen and i missed it?
Please ask in the evo section

:lol: thanks. Im actually on a hero with froyo, soooo....
Im just assuming it would be an easier port since they are both CDMA and on the smae network and since the EVO is running froyo now with HTC sense overtop.

its alot harder than that, there is working being done to port it from the legend and aria but the evo uses a totally different processor and has alot of other differences other than just both being cdma

My Fiancée has a Sprint HTC Hero. I have spent some time going through ROM's available for her phone but haven't been able to find something I like. So I thought I'd post before I run out to do some errands and see what suggestions can be made for me. My situation is I am looking for the most stable ROM for her as I wont always be around when something happens. If that ROM could be sense based that would be best, if not, its not a huge deal. I also need blue tooth to work flawlessly so that she can sync it with her car. Battery life would be the next bonus, after that just a nice stable ROM that wont reboot while shes on the phone or crash whatever launcher its running. I'm not concerned about CPU scores or over clocking as anything with be faster than her stock phone. If if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask, otherwise I appreciate your responses.
sense based, stable....
Dude i'd probably say stay stock, In all seriousness. Most roms with sense have kind of stopped in terms of work done on them. the last rom i remember with sense was infinites 2.2 but that stopped for some reason and its not very stable [my own experience].
Just leave the phone as it is. If scores and stuff aren't important. I don't know if the last sprint update helped "a lot" with the dialer lag, but i'm just going off memory here.
So maybe I should post the goal, as stock is meh right now and I wish she would have got an Evo. However, when she got her phone the guy at Sprint mislead her some and pushed the Evo and 4G to hard and so she backed off and went with the Hero. (I was on a plane at the time) So now we want to get to Froyo so she can have more than 10ish MB of free space and isntall apps to the SDcard. Also increase her battery life as she is always sub 15% by the time she gets home from work. Plus just the general speed increase from Foryo and custom roms. So Id like to try something, I was just hoping people could say, yes xxxx's rom is pretty stable, bluetooth works and so on...
Ill prolly start with a Froyo Cyanogenmod and see if she can get by on a asop rom, and go from there.
Personally the stock sense was pita with dialer lag and other shannagins.
I would go with cm6 as for me has been very stable and easier to navigate than sense.
fresh roms were always stable for me. I tried liquid senses for a day and it seemed stable to me though some people say its sluggish
Zen my touch slide is a nice sense based rom, I've had my dads hero on it since he got it with no problems and that's saying something.

Ginger bread way to buggy for what hes looking for imho.
I have tried almost every rom available for the hero over the last 6 months and two of the most stable roms i have used thus far are Liguid sense odex, and aospmod 0.9.9.2. to me they have seemed to be the least buggy. Its all reference i guess, if you like sense go with Liquid's it is fast and gives you plenty of extra space for apps, and if you like froyo aospmod 0.9.9.2 is great.

Ah. Good point. I just noticed that my vid camera has got issues. Go for Dec31 froyo, or odex.
I'd use aosp gingerbread
I recently switched from cm6 to liquidsense. For someone who isn't a into technology, cm is just going to be overwhelming and cause.problems. liquid sense is very stable, fast, and lightweight. The only thing is its 2.1 based, so I dont know if that's a deal breaker for you.

I have a simple question - my daughter has Hero, very sluggish, so I am rooting to put SetCPU on it.
I am very familiar with roots and roms, running Epic, but have not kept up on Hero since kids are on stock.
Once I root, am looking at roms, how do I put rom on?
I'm looking at CW and that is too much for her. Stable Froyo is all she needs.
The threads are either old, or way too techy for what I need. I want to upload and give to her, not maintain nor get calls, have problems.
And leaving stock not a problem, I will add Wifi Tether, but want to be sure the battery holds up, most important need, on this.
Thanks

I am running CyanogenMod 6.2 the Dec31 Black version and have had no problems with it. This is a froyo rom. I will say that that wireless tether will eat up battery pretty quickly so i usually plug it in when I use the tether. At the beginning of each rom, there are usually instructions on what steps you should take to install.
Thanks, I will look for a link to read and/or download.

Generally, it's just download attached zip file, move said file to the sd card root, reboot to recovery, wipe data and dalvik, flash zip and reboot. With any aosp rom, cyanogen or aospMod, you will need to download and flash the gapps in the same manner as, and after, the rom. Any of the froyo roms are good, though I would stay away from gingerbread roms for now, as the bugs are still being worked out.

Too true. Nothing has compaired to the speed of aosp 0.9.9.2. I always keep a backup of that. I do like cm 6.1 but it isn't as fast but more customized

Although its Not Completely Stable, Checkout the ExpressoEnergyHeroc 2.2 Rom!! I've been Running it as my Everyday Rom for a few weeks now! And though it Does have some Minor Issues with it, None of them have been Substantial Enough for Me or the Others I've been Helping out with the Rom to Basically get Fed up and Switch to Something else! Oh and it is Sense Based with Froyo!!!

Hey i was wondering if there were any new gingersense roms that are only 2.1 with no added 3.0 features. as much as i like 3.0 i find all the roms a bit buggy. i think its due to the low memory and big file size of the 3.0 apps
im just looking for a full sense 2.1 rom so i can have the pull down toggles and the new app drawer. any roms out there?
I am currently running the Optimized Gingersense Beta 1 rom. It is strictly Sense 2.1 and is very stable for me. I have been using it as my daily driver since it was released. I know the latest Betas have been a mix of Sense 2.1 and 3.0, but I am waiting for them to become a little more stable.
Good luck.

That rom incorporates bits of Sense 3.0 as well. I think the idea of a 2.1 port would be great!
EDIT: I missed the beta 1 portion, my apologies.
what are some of the bugs in beta1? mms?
yea i dont think it would be to much to change. the lockscreen and weather app are a big bulk of the size i believe
I would also love a stock sense 2.1 rom

Arent all of the Sense 2.1 ports GSM based? Everytime I used a Z Rom or Sense 2.1 or 3.0 (Whatever hybrids they are now) I would get phantom calls, funny mobile data switching, and the like.
If there was a CDMA based port perhaps this would all be moot?
There's a Thunderbolt gingerbread leak that one of the devs said he'd look into seeing if it was easy to port - assuming data worked when he tried. Not sure on his progress... but I too would like to see a stock 2.X rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996193 - link to TBolt leak.
warm z 2.0 ran wonderful on my phone and i had no phantom calls. these were some problems for others i believe. its just hard coming from warm z which was super smooth and going to a 2.1/3.0 hybrid with all that bulk and then getting lag in places i never experienced before
I'm behind this one too. Not saying that the 2.1/3.0 hybrids are bad, rather quite the opposite. They are amazing ROMs with amazing developers behind them. Just the 3.0 features create lag in places and eat just a little too much of our quite limited ram for what I do with my device. Would have made a full stock 2.1 with the new fixes myself except ... lol ... I don't know how.

I would love to see a port right from the EVO Shift...it's cdma and some 2.1/3.0 ports are already floating around out there...nothing it stock 2.1 though.
I think you will find that the 2.1/3.0 Roms have come a long way. Nils ginger sense is getting great reviews. If you have a spare 30-40 minutes, flash Newts Hybrid. He has fixed a lot of the issues. He just found the 720 cam fix and it also fixed the gallery. No lag in lock screen and no Rosie loading issues. Worth playing with.
not saying they havent, the definitely have, i just prefer sense 2.1 everything pretty much, at least for the dinc, only camera and weather do i like @ 3.0
