Hey guys.
Well, I used to own an HTC Titan, and I would just spend days and days flashing and cooking ROMs like no one's business, but due to cost issues and general irritation with that phone, I switched to a flip phone for a while. Now, I'm back, on Sprint with a CDMA Hero and an unlimited data plan and I want to really see what this thing can do.
Yes, I have the Sprint 2.1 update and I've rooted it successfully. However, for some reason, everything felt a bit sluggish so I factory restored. (Don't know how to explain this, but kinda regretting it when I see all these custom ROMs floating around). Now, I want to get back into ROM flashing.
I wanted to get your guys' opinion on what ROM to use. I do have just one condition though, so hear me out before you tell me which one you love .
Simply put, I love HTC Sense. I've used my friend's Samsung Moment and I could not stand the UI. Sense, to me, has a sort of refinement I've grown to love. (just the way I am, I guess. So yeah, by extension, I don't want or need JiT. I've seen the differences in linpack tests and I'm not impressed enough to ditch Sense for it. Also, does Sense have to be cooked into a ROM by default or can I flash it in as an addon?
So what are your picks? I'd love to have something fast.
Damn another one of these. Go with fresh 2.od with the two updates. or with actually it depends what you like most of the overclocked roms are good but they have one setback when you push menu or the power button to get them to turn on there is a delay. but other than that there good and fast. I like zenexp slide port because it has this thing called mymodes where you can change your themes on the spot. It's hard to describe but it's good

@OP - Fresh 2.1.2. If you want friendstream JsChiSurf has a mod to fresh that makes it work. I am running it now but am having issues with gmail not giving me notifications. Which is a HUGE deal.
Ill throw my rom in there. It has sense and is based off of fresh 2.1.2 but ovetclocked and fully themed. Not for everyone but its there.

Just wanted to say that I used to LOVE Htc Sense as well... I've reverted to AOSP based roms such as PureHero or Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 - reasoning why is that I feel that Sense really bogs down the phone and I feel like my Htc Hero responses a whole lot better and smoother as well.
I'm currently running stock RUU. I'm considering my first custom ROM, and speed is of relatively high importance to me. The 3 ROMs I'm considering are Darchdroid, Fresh, and nfinitefx45.
Fresh and nfinitefx45 ROMs are of course Sense ROMs. I don't care for Sense widgets; I use LauncherPro. If I use Fresh or nfinitefx45, I will use DarchKernelv4.
My question: Even if using LauncherPro with Fresh or nfinitefx45 ROM, will Darchdroid be inherently smoother/faster/more responsive because it an AOSP ROM?
Yes.
But I suggest you try it yourself anyways. Some people flash multiple roms daily, lord knows I've been known to.

everyone has their own opinion. personall i love sense. but being as i have "ORD" i just have to try new stuff. i've tried all of the roms and i ended up on fresh's 2.3.3. it is the fastest buld i've tried. up there with our froyo port. and it's sense with live wallpapers. im using darchkernel v4 for fresh OC to 710. i almost **** my pants at how fast it was when i had tried this yesterday. but like i said, everyone has their own opinion. so the best thing to do is to try them all. darchroid 2.7 and fresh 2.3.3 are the fastest as far as stable builds go. but by the end of this or next week i'm sure all the bugs will be fixed in our froyo port.
Is there anyway to port the Fully Functional EVO 2.2 Rom to the Hero. I would like to see the hero with a functional 2.2 sense Rom.

not gonna happen, we are waiting for another phone comparable with the hero to get it then it can be ported. on another note rumor has it sprint will be releasing another hero update in october. keep your fingers crossed that it could be froyo.
This may sound dumb...but what more could happen if the hero gets froyo since we already have it anyway?

Right now Hero users have to choose between 2.2 without Sense, or 2.1 with Sense. A lot of people would like 2.2 with Sense.

2 months ago I was saying the same thing. Been running CM6 since day 1 and got sense deprived for 2 days. Flashed CM6 back and found some alternatives to the sense look. Now I could care less about sense and any official update. IMHO, my phone runs better, faster and actually looks better without sense. The only good thing that would come of it would be to fix the very few issues that are left in the froyo ROM.

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
I would only start using a 2.2 Sense ROM if it had the speed and options like CyanogenMOD has... which will never happen. So I guess I'll never use a 2.2 Sense ROM.
Everyone needs to just ignore fixxer. I don't think a 2.2 sense rom on our phone will be better or faster than CM6.
I find zenrom and NFX-hero to be the same if not faster than our 2.2 rom. Plus it's sense which means it just looks a billion times better than aosp, plus our phones were meant to have sense on it so naturally the battery life will be a whole lot better. And then you throw froyo in it and get one of our devs to spruce it up then we got ourselves a mini evo. Why have a rom that looks worse no matter what you do to it and gets worse battey life and download 100 different things to make it look kind of like sense and get somewhat better battery life when you can have the real thing? I'm not trying to start a flame war, just throwing in my 2 bills.

Out of Every sense rom and aosp rom I've gotten a minimum of 6 hours more battery life out of the sense roms. I'm not saying aosp is slow either, but with the new zenrom and nfx-hero, sense is just as fast if not faster than our 2.2 aosp rom. And yes...that's a fact! The only thing that is a little slow on the sense roms is the messaging app. Aosp has always been great for me at the beginning, but after a few days it just gets slowed down for no reason. And I only have like 7 apps that I downloaded. Aosp is plain, sense has style! Sense will always no matter what look better than plain ol aosp.......

Well...alrighty then. It sounds like you had a set up issue on your phone because out of my 4 Hero's..the way mine is set up now it flat out runs the stock sense rom's that I have here and has more gas at the end of the day, and everything turned on that I have to have turned off on the stock roms if I expect more than 8 hours of battery life. I haven't tried either of the other 2 roms you are talking about yet,but I might just to see if your just blowing smoke which I believe you are..since you still haven't validated any of you facts opinions yet..

I agree that zenrom and nfx-hero are light-years faster than the stock 2.1 sense rom. I'd even venture to say that its as fast as 2.1 sense can get, its pretty damn snappy. But I hope when you say its faster than CM6, you aren't talking something quantitatively ... because frankly, the statistics don't back up that claim.
And you're right, regular AOSP is plain and boring. The reason it's like that is to start with as clean a slate as possible, and let you theme and mod to the nth degree. You can do the same thing with Sense, but not as easily, and it will never be as lightweight because of the extra HTC apps. Some phones can handle the extra weight, some can't. I guess it comes down to if you want to work to make your Hero uniquely beautiful, or commonly pallatable.
I respect your own opinion (my wife is a Sense lover, so I have this debate constantly, and respect the other side), however recognize the difference between facts and opinions, please. If you want to provide subjective "facts", please call them what FOX News calls them: truth.
I'll just say this, my phone with CM6 was not as fast as it is with Aloysius 2.1. I get higher mflops and quadrant scores with Aloysius. I also get about double the battery life. I think it all depends on the user. I am not saying sense is better, but in my phone (and the way I use it) the sense roms are faster and far less buggy. I like that I only have to flash one file and I am good to go. No flash rom, then gapps, then kernel, then battery tweak, then theme, etc, etc, etc.
I just think the Hero runs better with what it was intended to run. Thats my $0.02 anyways.
Even though Sense looks great compared to vanilla AOSP, visual appeal is not what I look for when comparing the two ROMS. I love how lightweight AOSP is, but wish it came with some of the awesome HTC widgets that are exlusive to Sense. To this day, the HTC keyboard, weather and calendar widgets, and a few other items have no equal in the FREE apps section of the Market.

I agree. I tried CM6 and barely noticed a speed difference. I noticed several features and customizations, but nothing special that I can't do on my 2.1 sense rom. Actually, froyo isn't even all that to me. The only thing I want from Froyo is the marking/vending, but other than that there's nothing special like everyone says. BTW, I'm also using Aloysius 2.1 with my own theme I created.
This is also my 2 cents. And I am in no way saying that Aloysius is better than CM6, just that 2.1 sense roms have more of what I prefer.

Obviously you've never used Zen-ROM before. It is MUCH much faster than CM6 ever was for me. I've had zero lag and fantastic battery life.

Yeah, because no one else in your house is using a rooted Hero with something like Zen-ROM on it..
I charged my phone today around 6 in the evening to 100%. It's now 5am and I STILL have over 70% battery life left, after using it pretty heavily with GMaps. CM6 never made it that far for me.
Hello everyone.
I had a quick question i was hoping for some feedback on. My girlfriend is using a HTC hero CDMA as her cell phone. It is currently running 1.5 and it is abysmally slow and unwieldy. I told her I would try to get her fixed up with a nice custom ROM. I am familiar with the entire rooting/flashing/recovery process so I don't need any help there. All I need to know is, what do you consider to be the best daily driver 2.2 ROM there is right now. I won't be fidgeting and flashing ROMs on her phone every 4 days like I do with my phone. I would just like to find a functional 2.2 and load that up for her and call it a day. Opinions are immensely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Either CM or AOSP.
Those are the only fully functioning 2.2 ROMs currently.
My current setup is:
CM-Nightly-166 ( http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=heroc )
GAPPS ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880787 )
Use BatteryTweak from Deca's thread or SetCPU to overclock CPU. May have to experiment with speeds that your phone can handle.
Deca's Kernal ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756774 )
AOSP. Plain and simple. It'll run fast. Won't need any tweaking. She won't be able to mess anything up.

I would have to say cm. Aosp just lacks functionality and customization that someone who doesn't really care for linpack scores would find quite useful. Aosp is stripped down to the bare bones of android to squeeze every drop of speed. I think your lady would appreciate cyanogen more than she would aosp.

It comes down to features vs. speed, really.
-If she likes to sit and mess with features and customization all day, then CM6 is the way to go.
-If she just wants something that works and is fast, aospMod is the way to go.
Personally, I liked the features of CM6, but after using both I went with aospMod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782320

FLAMED. no just messing with you. If you think she would like a themed STABLE 2.2, chack out the "mau5" rom by decad3nce and the themed roms (there's 4 of them) by jaybob413. They are a little more upstream than CM6.1 stable and have some nice tweaks built in
I would recomend aosp 0.9.8 .............works great for me..........very fast

There are quite a few themes for aosp now and it is way customizable if you put launcher pro on her phone. I never liked the stock launcher.

Agreed. But we are not talking themes, we're just talking stock versions. Stock cm is far more customizable than aosp is. Also, cm has just as many, if not more, themes available for it. As an aside, cm doesn't use the stock launcher either. It uses ADW.

There us a hero cdma and a hero gsm. Make sure which one you are using. This is the cdma version forum here. Ultimately, if you have su, then I suggest just using rom manager to choose, download, and install. Helps to ensure no mistakes

Flash aosp on her phone, and if she likes it, keep it. If not, flash CM6.+, If she doesn't like either, find a different one. I hear fresh is fun..
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.

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.

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.

Gingerbread really isn't buggy. I haven't flashed the new cm tho but use aospcmod as my daily

Not really, I agree, but compared to the froyo roms they need work.

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

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.

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!!!
