We need the android 3.0 honecomp in our devices!
yeah, that would be great. but i think it is not possible to make a build, which would be fast and stable enough for daily use. (remember, xperias have 528 mhz processor)
for now, developers should work on froyo & gingerbread, which are currently pretty stable.
why do you need honeycomp? atm we don't have any android-rom for daily-use...
i think the really few devs should focus in getting *one* android running on x1...
(if you only want to play with honeycomp, you should try porting it your self... but it will never run smooth on x1 because of the too small hardware...)
I think most of the people want a stable build for every day use, and the development of Froyo & Gingerbread is so advanced, so it's better to focus on these builds instead of a new one whitch needs better hardware
And I prefer a NAND version instead of a honeycomp!!
You mean Honeycomb?

sorry about this gents - a bit behind....i usually pay attention to the dell streak area and the desire area (lots of my mates have got them and i usually end up flashing them as a favour and ive got a streak.....)
however the wifey has a milestone which she's more than happy with but everytime i look in this area there was never a hacked rom/cyanogen etc etc or a way to root them....however tonight i take a passing look and theres roms agogo....so, can it be reflashed with 2.2 and is there a walk through....as i say sorry to sound a bit thick -but if it is that'd be great....!
Comfy
Yes ,the Milestone is rooted. You can install a beta version of an unoficial port of CM6.1 but it's not perfect as far as I understand. (Still doesn't have the full feature list of the 2.2 kernel like HW accelerated flash 10.1)
Well at first development was slow cause of locked bootloader, meaning there can't by any custom kernels.
But developers have learned to cope with only official kernel, respect to all
A few things are much harder to modify if you can't change the kernel, but as you can see by lots of ROMs, harder doesn't mean there willl be no ROMs
As for the last month that 2.2(Froyo) ROMs have became popular it is because group named G.O.T. leaked the official BETA froyo kernel from Motorola. It has some battery problems, othere than that those froyo ROMs are stable enough for everyday use. I use 2.2.1 based ROM on my pice delivery job as a navigation system with Motonav, so you know i want stability
Well, thats good to know....ill have a look at whats available - thanks very much for the helpful info.
dude CM6 sucks on the milestone
TelusLite v5 is the absolute FASTEST rom available right now.
Its a 2.1 build... SUPER STABLE... ZERO issues.
CM6 = 2.2 build... bugs... resets... jittery & not really "fast"
People just dont do proper data/factory reset, or maybe you are talking abaut old versions. The newest 2.2.1 ROM i tried: Cronos 1.4,CM6-8. nov,The FroyoMOD 2.0.
Al of them as stable as stock motorola, no problems at all.
Well one problem bug about phone not going to sleep after pluging USB, but even with workaround, reseting after unplug, still battery drain is much faster than 2.1 ROMs, actualy i think it is even not worth reseting, it doesnt changes much as far as battery go.
By much faster i mean 2.1 ROMs last me 1.5 days, around 36 hours in average. 2.2 ROMs last for me around 2/3 of the day.
Helping out a friend with a Hero...gettin him rooted, and wanna install a custom ROM for him....
What ROM (2.2ish) seems the most functional / stable? What would be the general opinion of users here? Familiar with Decad3nce from other work he's done...anyone recommend his stuff on the Hero?
Thanks for the advice!!

If you want a Froyo rom that is stable, there are stable releases of both ASOP and CM6, check out the dev section, they are some of the more active threads. It's all in what they want, if they want stability and all of the features, choose CM6, if you want bare bones, snappy performance without all the bloat, choose an ASOP rom. Both can be themed easily and there are themes in the theme and app section.
CM 6.1.2 has been very stable for me. Considering a Gingerbread ROM too (asop).
I've used AOSP 2.2 and CM 6.2 found here on XDA and they both run Android 2.2 pretty good, but I found that some of my Tasker tasks would stutter when playing audio sounds and alarms for some reason. So, I'm not sure what that's about.
I'm presently using the latest NFX 2.32 (Android 2.1) which is based on the latest official Sprint/HTC offerings since my Tasker tasks don't stutter on it. I'm over-clocked with apps to SDcard enabled which makes the Hero work much better. The performance boost from the measly stock 528mhz to a stable 691mhz makes the Hero actually perform better, and I have over 120mb of internal phone memory remaining with over 50 apps loaded at this time.
But, I would still like to have Android 2.2 since it has Bluetooth voice dialing and bluetooth voice commands, and other things like Chrome to Phone. I just can't live with my Tasker tasks stuttering though.
Yup..unfortunately I have not liked any of the 2.2 Roms out there for our Hero. It just always seems to not run something properly or smoothly.
I am currently using Liquidsense 2.1. This is the fastest ROM i have ever had on this phone. I personally like the stock sense look and feel while taking advantage of A2SD.
with all the new honeycomb roms coming out for other phones (Nexus 1, Dinc, Evo) is there anyway to bring it to milestone and if is possible can someone do it?
/nothing here
I'm fairly certain that since 3.0 is a tablet OS, phones with ports of the new firmware are having severe problems (ex. can't make phone calls, landscape doesn't display properly, touch screen doesn't respond as expected, etc.)
Besides, the community is still working on getting 2.3.2 stable enough for daily use.

2.3 is fairly stable as of this moment, and I too would LOVE a honeycomb port to our beloved milestones
The honeycomb roms are pretty much useless at the moment, what works in them is... pretty much nothing. I would wait for 2.4 first, which will implement some of the important honeycomb features to smartphones, and then try porting honecomb apps. Maybe high-end smartphones will be able to run honeycomb when the ports will be better, but I don't think our Milestones with 256mb ram will even handle it.
THX for the answer but I have another question
is honeycomb hardware accelerated?
if it is shouldn't it run better on our milestone than on the Nexus 1 because of the GPU??
i still believe that the locked bootloader on Milestone will prevent anything that has a kernel that is TOO different from the Froyo-Kernel (i.e. with new features/procedures baked right into the kernel itself instead of Apps and Modules) will not be ported properly to our phones.
Gingerbread seems to be an exception since many people that cook ROMs said that it´s okay to use the latest leaked Kernel from 2.2 because it is not THAT much different to 2.3´s kernel.
I doubt that 2.4 or even 3.0 ´s kernels will still be similar enough to "fake" Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich on a Milestone just like they faked Gingerbread (which is surprisingly good though!)
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...

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.
Cyanogen mod
My old SGS is being given to my dad and I was wondering which rom and kernel would be best. 2.3 and 4.0 make no difference. He isn't that much of a tech-geek so any fancy features or outfits are not important. What is important however is battery life, that it's easy to use, and that it has a smooth user interface. I was thinking of cyanogen mod 7 or maybe aokp if it works well enough with only a 512 MB ram. MIUI and some others are also up for consideration. It would be great if it had Finnish language capabilities also but this is not a strict requirement.
Check out TeamHacksung's ICS build. Its incredibly stable, full featured but also very clean and crisp. Nothing overwhelming, worth a look !
Seriously if it is for your dad I'd look for a stock rom... maybe one of the most recent ones then just add the lag fix, semaphore or other faster kernel. Or leave as is with stock.
Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable has the potential "hello hello" bug which I can't see my Dad enjoying & for me CM9 was fairly unstable & laggy. Also got "hello hello" issue which I have not had on any other Roms although some have had it on other Roms.
Most ICS builds are great and very stable but they do have bugs at this point and are mostly Alpha builds.
Darky's rom would be nice and Ficeto's base roms are stable, pre-rooted and so on. Try them
Stock roms probably have the longest battery life. But really if he's not going to use the features of a smart phone (internet, mail, etc etc), maybe you would want to look into selling it and buying a phone designed for older people? (Not too sure how old he is)
There are phones designed with large keypads etc, specifically for the elderly. But that's for people who are 70-80+
just gave an htc incredible 1 to my father inlaw
has basic cyanogenmod 7.. he figured it out pretty quick concidering he went from a flip phone
huters seem
HAHA, my dad is not that old. He will learn it quite quickly, I’m sure. I tried few roms yesterday and Cyanogenmod 7 was pretty good. But then I flashed AOKP M4 and I don’t think going back to 2.3 even on this low hardware is an option anymore. ICS runs smoothly, is fast and works very well. Also flashed Devil’s kernel and battery life seems to be better than with stock, at least in idle and many people seem to recommend it. I won’t use stock rom because I don’t wish touchwiz to my worst enemy let alone to my dad. Custom launcher don’t work that well as they won’t stay in memory.
