Hi,
Im currently running liquidsense 2.1 and am LOVING the speed.
But my friend, who also has a hero, says the fresh rom is also good.
Can someone list the pro's and cons of each? How fast are they? Bloatware? Firmware base? Im not good with modding lingo, so please, be nice. And if this is a stupid question, I apologize in advance.
Best advice? Flash it and see for yourself. Dare to compare!

flash either one and try it for yourself
i used liquidsense 2.1 as my daily rom for a LONG time then i got interested in making my own rom and now i'm loving my own rom
so its all user preference

Thank you very much
I got a HTC hero 2 days ago myself. It also came with 1.5 so I rooted it using the root method for 1.5, created a nanodroid backup. Flashed a new radio (2.42.01.04.27) and am using the Fresh 2.1.2 rom by flipz..

FRESH rom is sweet, i put 2.0d on my girlfriends phone. its STABLE trust me. she will complain about the tiniest thing. but i haven't heard a peep out of her about that rom for at least a month. i'm sure she has NEVER rebooted it. if so you could count it on one hand. seriously they should change the name of the rom to "sprint official 2.1"
the downside is flipz got a EVO. so any forward development on that rom is going to be slim/none as far as i can tell.
damageless also is no longer deving the hero as far as i know.
this is why i recommend darchdroid. he is ACTIVELY deving this rom. everyday.

I'll take a look at that one too, thanks for your suggestions and your time guys.
Actually, I'm open to more suggestions 'bout you guys have experienced with any other rom.
i also used the AOSP 1.6 rom from here more specifically this one by gbhil. awesome rom. very very fast. like stupid fast and clean. very clean.
and yesterday i flashed Buufed 1.6 also very very sweet.
can't go wrong with any of the roms, they all have bugs. but some bother some people and some don't.
anything based of FRESH or DAMAGE CONTROL is good too if you like sense
If you want continuing support, Try either DarchDroid, or Regaw's mod, they seem to be the only two big ROM dev's with us now that the Evo is out.
Or Aloysius.
Hey guys. I'm a newbie here, so bear with me. I just rooted my CDMA Hero with this awesome little tutorial:
xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
And I just flashed my first ROM by using this package here:
xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731951
Both have gone off without a hitch, although the ROM is still loading, and its taking some time... I was a little scared, but now I feel pretty confident. I suppose my question is, I am looking to get Froyo on my Hero. The ROM I flashed showed v2.2.1 on the post, but I am under the impression that is the ROM version, not the Android Version.
Any help, direction, or suggestions?
XDA did not not suggest any similar titles to my subject, so sorry if there is a similar title somewhere, I didnt see one...
Correct, 2.2.1 is just the ROM version of NFX Hero. That still runs Sense 2.1. Currently the only way you can get 2.2 sense is with the Aria Froyo port, but Zenulator and others are building another one based off the HTC Glatia.
If you want pretty stable Froyo, try CyanogenMod 6.1.0-RC1
It doesn't have Sense, but that is not an issue for me. Might be to you.
Ok, sounds good. I'm am loving this Rom thus far.
Any ideas how I could add animated backgrounds?
Thanks so much for the response!

I use two roms normally.. I run the CM6 nightlies for my froyo experience, and I run a hybrid of NFX and Liquid's modified Sprint Stock for sense..
I enjoy both experiences, just depends on the mood I'm in on a given day.
my device performs the best with stock 2.1 rom, rooted, bloat removed. for a lil extra zip, ill use an oc kernel at 691mhz. this is the way my device is the most responsive, although i occasionally find myself longing for the Bold keyboard
Im a noob to this. I've been searching the forums and can't find the what I'm looking for. i have a cdma hero and I've rooted using Z4. my question is it possible to flash roms and kernals using Z4. if possible i would like to have Live wallpapers on my phone and looking into Froyo or Gingerbread that are the most stable for daily use, and the steps in doing so. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks

I'll tell you right now, lwp's don't work very well on the hero. There are a few that do, but imho, not worth the battery drain. Still, it's your baby, do as you wish. You can find them in the market.
As for roms, froyo builds are a little bit more stable, as there has been more time spent tweaking them. With that said, I have no issues with cm7 #7, other than reduced camera quality. That is an easy fix by downloading a camera from the market, though, do no big deal for me. I just hope you don't want a sense build, as froyo sense is still lacking and there are no gingerbread builds.

On the CM7 #7 is it possible run LWPs? @ this point I really don't care if it does or doesn't.My main concern is bricking my phone, have u heard any one using Z4 to use custom roms and if u have what was the process in doing so with Z4. All the info i have in installing custom roms are for other methods of Root, or should i just dump Z4 and go with another Root. I really appreciate the help..
From what I've heard, z4 works fine, just not sure if it flashes a custom recovery (necessary). Personally, I prefer to root via the learning method which would use Regaw's tutorial (in the dev forum, I would link, but I'm on my phone), it'll start you on the process to learning the things you need to know anyway. As for bricking your phone, the only way you're gonna do that is if you flash a GSM radio to your phone. Best advice I can give you is to read, read, read. When I first rooted, the DarchDroid 2.8(thanks Darch!) thread was about 400 posts and I refused to root until I read it all and I was confident that I knew what I was doing, and what to expect when it was done.
XDA is a great community, and we will all help you in your endeavor, but you will benefit the most by trying to help yourself. Good luck and have fun.

AFAIK, z4 does not flash a recovery. You would need to get one from somewhere. Either Amon-RA, which I use, or ClockworkMod. The only way I can think of to actually brick your hero is to flash a gsm radio. As an aside, z4 does nothing other than root your device, so no, you cannot flash roms with it.

Unless Something was Changed in the past few months, z4root ONLY ROOTS YOUR PHONE.... But it Does Work Well, I've Used it on about 4-5 Different Phones!!
But if I can I Recommend Using ROM Manager for your Custom Recovery, Especially since you Said Your New to the Root Stuff!!
Good Luck!!

Thanks! I'll keep you all posted how it goes.If you all don't hear from me in several days (5 days max) something whent wrong since I use my phone to access the internet from my Laptop. Thanks again!
Thanks for the help. I just got around to flashing the new rom yesterday. I've been really busy working, but i noticed my Google Maps GPS is not working properly. It tells me the directions but can't see the map, any idea how to fix....
DO A NANDROID BACKUP IN YOUR RECOVERY MODE(HOLD VOLUME DOWN THEN POWER BUTTON WHILE PHONE IS OFF)
I also have a hero running cm7 no problems, if you want to do everything really easy just download ROM manager from the market. With this flash a recovery image, then go toa website with some custom roms (google android candy and you'll find a few good ones) once you've downloaded the rom of your choosing, go back into ROM manager and select "install ROM from sd card" WIPE DATA! BACKUP CURRENT ROM!
It'll take about twenty minutes to boot the first time, have patience
I am looking for stock 2.1 to put back on a Hero so that it can be programmed for a new user. (it currently has Fresh, and the programming - ##3282# does not work!)
So where can I find a flashable (not the RUU) 2.1?
Thanks for any help you can provide - a link would be great!
Look for liquid sense or nifinity stock based roms it's like 3 or 4 of them or look for the engery rom by pmgrands all of these are all sense based roms you can find in the hero/dev forum. Good luck
Yea it's Me Again With the
Modified Hero
Thanks - the problem is that Fresh is Sense-based too, and the ##3282# programming does not work on it.
Do you know is this works with the above mentioned ROMs?
Thx again.
Why don't you just run the RUU, activate the phone, and then root it again? Don't take it the wrong way, it's just a suggestion. I know I had a heck of a time trying to root my phone for the first time, but now that I have done it, I don't think I would have any problems doing it over again.

Should work with no problem is what I wanna say but the only way to make sure is to flash them for yourself. They should work though as they are newer builds. Good luck

You don't even have to unroot to activate the phone. Just flash any Sense rom and call Sprint. Cake and pie.

The problem is that the person with the phone is a newbie, and RUU is not working for some reason. Anyway I talked them through flashing the NFX-Sprint ROM so they got the damn thing programmed, and now they are back to Fresh.
(and to respond to laie1472, as I said above, the issue was that not every Sense ROM allows the programming, thus the question as to which work and whick do not...)
Thanks one and all.
