I'm currently running Cyanogen but I was wondering if there was a good place to see what ROMs are available and what they offer. I've found a lot of info in these forms but it's kind of hard to figure out all the details. This site has a decent list but no details as to what components each ROM has.
Just looking at maybe switching my ROM to something more slimmed down yet still capable.
well, i cant really help you on finding a main source for roms, but i can suggest a rom for you. you might try aospROM 2.2.1. i havent had a chance to try it yet, but from what i understand, CM6 is basically a ROM with lots of cool and improving mods, whereas aospROM is straight, 100% android compiled from source for the Hero. you can find the gapps elsewhere just like you did for CM6. and that basically all i can really suggest to you. so, its definitely slimmed down and more than capable from what ive heard.
CyanogenMod ROMS are the best i have tried, they are one of the few ROMS that actually work. try CM6

CM6 is cyanogen right? Or is it a different rom put out by cyanogen?
Sorry for the noob stuff!

CM6 is Cyanogen, best rom IMHO, especially with an Impaled theme along with it
FWIW, CyanogenMOD IS AOSP, with modifications. The framework of CyanogenMOD is slightly different than AOSP, to support the new modifications to it. The performance of CyanogenMOD is almost exactly the same as AOSP, but has the potential to be better if certain settings are enabled. If you want the most customizable and fastest ROM, CyanogenMOD would be your best bet.

Has it been done? I couldn't tell if this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822 is compatible with the cyanogen roms or this only applies for hero roms that have been worked with thus far. Otherwise, would love to see this done if possible.
Thanks for the input.

Nope

Not gonna happen, it relies on Htc's closed-source frameworks- thus only Sense based roms can use it (and older ones at that)

A mod will move it when they see it.
HTC wouldnt open source it unless they want it to be copied by other people which would be bad for business.The you would have hero widgets running on the liquid or droid and you get my point.
I've decided to move from windows developing ROM's to android. I have the base rom's and radio's but I'm looking for anything you guys want?
I have a legend and will be souly developing for it so I need to know what your looking for.
Any feedback would be great and I hope to have first build online in the next few weeks!
Thanks.
For example: it´s would be nice to have another froyo based rom with some of the next features:
- jit activated
- perflock disabled
- one with sense, another without it
- ¿overclocked kernel?
- latest drivers from official htc roms
Maybe you can take ali ba or kyosa roms for using like base rom. Or you cant take the official rom that HTC says is going to be available this month.
You could try to make your froyo rom based on Cyanogen mod 6. Or perhapes you could make sensless(without htc sens, and other usless crap) rom based on latest 2.10.xxx rom. Wich would include ADW launcher and some other cupcakes
I would REALLY love an andoird 2.2 rom with FM radio (and JIT enabled)
grlayouts - welcome! Its great to have another developer on board for the Legend
Personally I think the real demand will probably arrive when the Legend officially gets 2.2, I'm sure many people will want a non-sense/vanilla ROM (I'm not sure how much CM6 differs from pure vanilla).
For inspiration it may be worth looking at some of the more popular ROMs in the Desire subforum, too.
Also one big thing we're missing on the Legend thus far is the ability to apply themes.. am aware that's largely down to not having the required level of root access but I believe there has been recent progress on that front...
Enough from me...! I'm sure the Legend community will be grateful for any of your releases...look forward to seeing your work!
Good luck!

I would love a themeable rom, or completely blank froyo and yes it really is good to see a new developer, the more the merrier
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Imagine a dog with its salivating tongue hanging out.
We are all waiting for THE FROYO. So, anything based on 2.2 please, thanks.
A rom compatible with oc kernels released or maybe you could release a few of your own.
I dont mind HTC Sense. A few bug changes
Welcome to the community. We have many children here

For a rom a nice 2.2 without fancy stuff,very fast and stable oc kernel etc.
Why not try and join the villainrom guys and create a legend version of villainrom. Looking forward to a 2.2 Rom with working radio.

Why Legend not?
Thanks to Ali baba for his source on irc I will probably be using that! I have a second build installed with the nexus dialer and contacts and I'll be working on the look now. Keep the input coming.
I will also be looking into villain ROM and seeing what they offer.

Yeah, considering the guys at villainrom have used a lot of legend ports I'm surprised there hasn't been anything for us
Surely if we start with a hero froyo ROM we could work backwards. Not sure if they have a sense ROM though?
Had a quick go at trying to port back to legend, but keep always get errors on the install. Taking ages atm cus I'm just changing what the install error complains about & then trying again.
Anyone no any specifics on what needs changing to port?

Because the Desire developers figured out how to configure and build a device target to travel forward in spacetime.
The other explanation would be that there was a test build that leaked and spread really fast.
I'm starting to believe that HTC will not release an official 2.2 ROM for the Legend. It did not sell that well and there's no money to be made of that upgrade.
I think Froyo ROM development would be most appriciated by many enthusiasts.
But great builds of htcs official and enclair builds are always liked and used by many users ;-)
Also welcome to the legendary boards. Good pick. I came from wm on the Elf myself.
I want to develope my own kernels and roms but I don't know the road to take to get there. I'm working in some new things (editing and creating system files to boost performance, etc) but What and where should I start learning to be able to make my own roms and kernels for the hero community?
Also which is better liquids 2.1sense rom or nfinites stock 2.2 rom? Pros and cons thank you
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Well thats gonna be a matter of opinion.Liquids are optimized and most of the bloat and google stuff removed. Nfinite's not optimized,has senseand sprint apps.Both have odex and deodex versions. I prefer both odex versions of the .2 roms not big on theming ,also the odex ver. boot faster.Deca's kernels are compatable with all.If anyone can add anything that I missed,jump in get your feet wet and add to my observations based

I think what a lot of guys do is take a rom that's already made, strip it down, and then reassemble it according to how they want
That's essentially what liquid did. So I would suggest to learn the layout and how stuff is put together you do that for your first time.
I'm no dev tho, and really have no idea how to do that kind of detailed stuff. Its just what I've seen others here do and be successful and its what I would do if I could. Good luck.

Hi,
I've never tried a gb rom (in fact any rom), but I'm rooted and ready to go. But which one? So many choices.
What's the most reliable and complete gb 2.3 rom? Recommendations?

You want everything for granted? Test and see which is good enough for you. Maybe someone has other tastes...
Hi Andy,
I've been using MicroMod's ASOP for a while now with no issues (other than those listed, mainly no Video Camera). Getting around 2 days battery life with moderate use, which is better than other roms I've tried.
It's mainly stock, which works for me. Best bet is to try a few and see what you like. Nandroid is your friend!
Matt
Micromod's GB ROM is pretty stable for everyday use.
If you want features than the CyanogenMod 7nightlies is stable enough for me to use everyday but it's still a work in progress.
...........
I like Micromod's GingerBread Rom (unfortunately just announced that he will be leaving the building for another device).
The CM nightlies are plenty stable.

Hi guys,
Thanks to all who replied. Seems like a fairly good consensus of opinion, that micromods rom might be s good starting point.
Once I've started (probably with micromods), who knows where it will lead? (Hopefully not to a brick..
)
Just don't want my first ever flash to be something known to be incomplete or unstable.
Ta!

MicroMod's latest version of 2.3 .. and flash redstar's kernel for an awesome battery life.
hi Deekay, are you referring to this redstart kernel: RedStar 925mV Kernel?

Don't worry so much man. As long as you're not flashing an HBOOT, radio, or maybe a recovery, it's very hard to brick a phone. I would recommend trying a leaner, cleaner GB ROM before trying MicroMods, just so you can get a feel for pure GB without all of the extra apps and funky screen transitions. Straight CM7 nightly is what I'd suggest. Check imfloflo's thread.

CM7 GB is more stock than MM AOSP GB? I find CM to be one of the most modded ROMs out there, not that that's a bad thing.

CM7 has a lot of options built in, but so does MM's GB ROM. Both are excellent, but of the two, CM doesn't have any fancy screen transitions and extra apps installed aside from the basics.
Hi all,
Thanks for all the suggestions. Unsure of the "wonkyness" of cm7, I flashed micromods aosp gb rom last night. Did multiple titanium and nandroid backups, bit my lip and went for it.
Superb! Running it now, no regrets so far... all done within about an hour, everything working.
Thanks for all your comments.

Just to make it clear for others as I think there is a little confusion. Micromod777 has released two gingerbread ROM's. His original GB ROM was one of the first good stable builds after the AOSP was released, this finished on v.20 which can be found here:
Gingerbread v.20
He then began working on a new ROM based on Cyanogenmod 7, which is now discontinued as he's a busy man:
MicroMod's Gingerbread CM7 Custom ROM v1.4-FINAL

Mate, the rule is, DON'T ASK.... Everyone has their own idea and this could become a slugfest over whats best. The chefs all give you information about whats in their rom, its up to you to decide if you want it...
Read through the last few pages if you want to know what the latest "problems" are with the rom as the chef or others post fixes as they find them...
Roothammer
Roothammer has developed a custom ROM which is pre rooted, i think it is the best
Test them, the one you'll like is the best.

Overcome ROMS are probably the most stable (Jupiter is the latest and very nice is is too)
I'm currently evaluating BOCA 1.5 and although it is still has a couple of issues such as movie recording not working and the Ext SD card not being visible until removed & reinserted, I am sticking with it because is seems twice as fast than the Overcome roms (probably due to the JIT compiler being enabled). V2 of BOCA promises to fix these isses and provide more goodies.
But you won't really know until you try them.
