[Q] froyo or ginger?

I am in dier (sp?) need of a new rom. I'm currently running cyanogen ..dont know what version but its the purple glass one. Lately everything is coming up as errors, my camera doesnt even work 98% of the time, and it takes about 3 minutes just to dial someone.
So question of the day: I was told by someone I consider "superior in phreaker knowledge" that I shouldnt run 2.3 on my phone. Mainly because his is *so much better than mine* but whatever.
I just need a good rom, a FAST one. I am open to suggestions. And if running 2.3 on my hero is stable and fast then I am open to it. preferably something less glitchy.

Try aosp's new gb build

I ran cyanogen 6 for a while, then Jaybobs extblue froyo build for about 6 months. I've had Aosp's gingerbread mod since Feb, and it is by far the best rom I've ever had.

Yep asop 2.3 best rom I have tryed

+800%. The AOSP Froyo build is awesome, but there is nothing like showing off our little Heroes running Gingerbread like a dream. AOSP 2.3 is damn good.

As of the 4/21 build of AOSP, I would highly recommend it as the go-to gingerbread rom. CM7 and Gingersense are all well and good, but nothing has felt quite as snappy as this build (ymmv). It's also a smaller download than the others by a good margin. Not to mention GB includes a built in CPU governor, so you'll no longer need SetCPU. Seriously, just try it out.

ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! ive tried flashing 2.3 3 times now. ive tried re-downloading the file, tried downloading it to the phone and via sugarsync, tried wiping everything and it keeps showing "android" then goes to set up, then back to android, then back to set up. guess im going with 2.2

What all are you wiping before you flash?

followed a guide since it'd been over 6 mns since my last flash. did the factory reset, wiped cache, i think those were the only 2 options it gave me to wipe.

First, if you have the sprint radio that ends in .27, you should upgrade it to .29. Second, if you don't have clockworkmod recovery, get it because it wipes all the correct stuff. Third, go to this site and follow the step by step: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Sprint_HTC_Hero

Definitely get ClockworkMod set as your recovery. I'm not even using the newest one and it works great. Every time I go to a new rom, I wipe the user data, cache, battery stats, and dalvik cache.

i already use rom manager and clockworkrecovery 2.3 just did NOT want to install correctly on my hero, so I went with asop (sp?) 2.2 and it worked perfectly. I love my hero once again- very fast.

Omg this Tom has been the answer to my battery nightmare. Since flashing, I can go all day without my phone dying (and I use it a LOT!)

Help!! ClockworkMod issues :(

so i have a rooted droid, running frg83g 2.2 update from verizon
rooted using super one click and all went smooth, i can use wifi tether and setcpu just fine
i am not attempting to flash CWM to give my droid some cyan love... and every time i attempt flash CWM it force closes rom manager...

I think Milestone is not able to run CWM.

i actually got it to work... surprisning what a simple reboot can do
i just had to think back to the mytouch days... its exactly the same as the hero and such..

I have it up and running on my X. Got the link from your thread in Rootzwiki. Thanks for releasing this.

I've got this rom on my samsung fascinate, and I have to say, it's the best rom out there. Even better than cm7. Does every single function work with this rom (gps, camera?) And in order to install it, is all I need to be on a rooted .34 and use bootstrap?

Sold my fascinate and my droidx and now both have miui and my HTC device does not. Looks like i have cake on my face.

It's a nice rom, I was on CM7, went to Apex, and then used bootstrap to get to Miui. I heard that the GPS does work(but my phone isn't activated and i can't use wifi to try it myself), I can confirm that the camera(pictures and video) works. as far as rooted .34, I don't know what that means?

thanks for ur quick response. So it's assumed that all the functions are working! I'll put this on my cousin's droid x asap! What I meant was, what were the initial steps that needed to be taken before I install this rom. There are no clear steps that I can find on this post at least.

You're welcome, all I did was use the Droid 2 bootstrapper(since that was what i had, and I was on Apex at the time which I think is a froyo based rom?), and went into recovery and did a factory restore, and installed the zip, and it booted. I took a risk, skipped backing up the rom and stuff before installing MIUI, but yeah make sure to back up the rom and stuff before you use the bootstrapper. I also read that full resolution should be working on the camera, the MIUI camera isn't included though, just the AOSP camera. Also the live wallpaper(only one on there) works.

I understand this runs the froyo kernel so im on liberty 2.1 can i bootstrap to recovery and flash this? Oh and do I need google apps as well?
Edit: Do I need to sbf back to stock then to cm7 then to miui?

Which version of Android is Liberty 2.1 based on(not sure if it matters as much as which kernel it's based on, if someone will clear it up for me), and which kernel is it based on? I don't know much about that rom. I know that at least the Market and Google Talk are included, Gmail is in there also(don't know if that's something that wouldn't be in a custom rom ie CM7).
EDIT: You should be able to install it from rooted froyo at least, but it would be good to find out if you could do it from Liberty, so you won't waste your time just in case you can.

Its 2.2 and I couldnt get it to install so i sbf'd back to stock and trying again.

Have you got it running? EDIT: This is Juanito216, i didn't know my sisters account was logged in lol.

Not booting apparently you need d2 bootstrap........sbf'ing again.
Edit: Still at moto logo. 4 minutes now not booting.

I recently installed MIUI on a coworkers OG Droid and fell in love. To have it on my X just a week later is awesome. This ROM is tizzits.

I can get cm7 to boot up but not miui wtf am I doing wrong?
Where the hell is everyone? Even IRC is completely empty.

Have you done a factory restore? Did you try wiping cache?

Im on my third sbf now. I rooted stock froyo got d2 bootstrap, got cm7 running, updated cwm to the latest version, wiped data and flashed miui and get stuck at m logo everytime.

I don't know what the issue could be, hopefully you can get it up and running soon.

Droid bionic flashing issues

I am running the most current version of Liquid ICS on my Droid Bionic and it is rooted and I use safestrap. However recently in the past couple of days when I have tried to flash it to a different ROM (i.e. AOKP, CM9, MIUI, etc) I get the motorola screen on reboot and then my screen goes and stays blank and does not load. I then have to pop my battery out and wipe wipe wipe and then restore.......Any advice??? (yes I also installed my gapps)

Hey man I have been having the same issue(s) as well. I have tried both CWM, and Safestrap following the typical clear cache/factory reset/wip dalvik etc(currently I am on .233). I suspect these roms (AOKP, and CM9, MIUI, etc) simply do not work on any of the other leaked based ROMS. From testing(I have tried everyone lol), they install fine on .902 based firmware some even work on .905, but installing over any of the ICS leaks seems to create boot loops(test in CWM, and Safestrap the results are the same). I would recommend flashing back to .902/905 and trying again. I am smelling a lot of bullshting come from people who say they are able to flash over any of the ICS Leaks. btw are you using CWM(4.x.x.x/5.x.x.x) or Safestrap?

I am using safestrap and never had a problem until last week flashing from my ICS leak to the other ROMS. Should I go back to stock and then install the leak again?

Yes, I would flash back the dev's are not putting correct information out most of these ROM'S (AOKP/CM9Gummy, etc) are not designed to be installed over any of the OTA Leaks(people keep insisting on it), and will cause boot loops like crazy. I have tested on two bionic's and the results where the same flashing over any ICS Leak to AOKP/CM9 etc will cause issues regardless of what 2nd stage boot loader you are using(Safestrap, or CWM via bootstrap). I would recommend flashing back to 902, or 905 using the SBF/FXZ method and installing eclipse 3.0(for .905 baseband), or sticking with the OTA Leaks untill the issues with flashing ROMS in both Safestrap, and CWM have been resolved or the dev's actually give solid advice(i.e. what firmware is actually needed, or what flashing requirements should be meet. Thanks again!!!

So I wonder why it has worked for this long and just stopped flashing?

[Q] Hello, new here, messed up my droid 3

yes i have tried many things before posting here....
used to have a droid x and ran liberty on it.
um, lets see i tried to boot my droid 3 with a ROM based on 4.2 (i think it said its compatible with my version, 5.7.906.XT862.en.US.
its like cyanogenmod 10 or something like that.
here is what i did after having rooted of course:
-installed droid 3 bootstrap
-backed everything up using said app
-downloaded the ROM i wanted
-installed ROM manager
-installed the ROM i wanted.
to my surprise when the phone booted back up it was basically stock. it had all the stock apps that come with the phone, except certain things were not working right even then. i could not access google play. i could not access 3g i dont think, it seemed to be running on 1x or something.
tried holding m+power button and i tried a few options in that menu, none of which would properly boot my droid 3 bootstrap.
any idea what the heck happened?

Hello.
The CM10 roms can not work with bootstrap. You need safestrap 3.0x to install them.
I would suggest you go back to stock using SBF:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911
After that, root, and install safestrap 3.05.
From there you can install any rom you want (GB, ICS, JB).
Do note that only GB roms are fully functional. None of the JB builds have camera and the ICS builds aren't nearly finished

Don't use rom manager for the D3

Yeah you need Safestrap 3.0.5 not bootstrap you can grab it here, http://goo.im/devs/hashcode/solana , make sure to uninstall bootstrap before installing safe strap

okay i got steeldroid a gb version of it installed and it works fine
but how do i get ICS and JB versions installed? i tried both in slot 1 and neither would work properly i just got boot loops im assuming i need firmware but i havent seen any downloads or ways to update my phone.
