Best rom for 24/7 Tethering? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a suggested ROM for 24/7 tethering that's considered the most stable and won't crash? Overclocking doesn't matter to me and neither does aosp or sense. Only care about stability to use as a wifi hotspot.

it really dosnt matter anything froyo or above will work.

Flipz rom is really stable, You could use that i guess...

Best Kernel for battery performance?

I'm running a Sense ROM (Evil's), but need a good kernel for battery performance? I don't care about overclocking, etc
Any suggestions?
It'll depend on whether your hardware can work with such low voltages, but you can try the various flavors of wild monks' kernels.
I'm personally using his 900mV AVS CFS kernel but not too many people can run that without problems.
The 950mV SVS CFS kernel should be quite safe.

Dude,
you cant use any other kernel than evils one,
thats why sense works on your phone, because evil has tweaked the kernel to make it so.
if you flash another kernel you will lose radio, wifi, viseo, and everything else that makes it a phone...
All sense roms have a battery drain issue on the nexus.. you either live with it or you put stock android back one

Currently, I don't need radio or wifi, so I guess the kernel should work, no?

[Q] What is the best ROM Android?

Which is the best ROM Android according to you for our beloved HTC Vogue taking into account the following: drums, interface, stability and speed.
I remember having seen a topic well here but it seems I am far behind so best is to create a more updated where their votes will have a reference for users wishing to change their WinMO by Android and don't know which is the best ROM today.
Best regards.
Sorry for my bad English (translator online).

However you have to make sure to update all the apps manually. I'm really happy with the response and stability

Taketh into account your suggestion, then I install this ROM this in the thread called: Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1 (RLS5a) [01/12/1910]?
Try Scooter's ROM and also try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819081
Fat Free release 5 Froyo
works best with the 10-31-10 2.6.25 Vogue Kernel
If you use the Scooter Rls 5a rom - you have to use a 2.6.32 kernel
Both are good roms as far as speed and stability.

The ROM Fat Free Froyo [ODEX'd RLS5] is the that I have installed but with Kernel 2.6.32 and I think that is why me to so many problems.
Scooter Rls 5a install after.
Best regards.
So to conclude Scoot's build is the best, most stable and fastest build for vogue out there....
Even better than fresh froyo which i am currently very happely using. Would a transfer be worthwhile??????????
Depends on your usage.
I never had an issue with Scoot's or Fat-Free Froyo
However, with Scoots - you need the 2.6.32 kernels
The Fat-Free Froyo's can use the 2.6.25 kernels
When using USB - I was only successful on getting reliable USB connects with 2.6.25 kernels
So - if you do a lot of USB transferring, you probably want to stick with 2.6.25 kernel,
meaning you'd be stuck using the Fat-Free Froyo version.
Kinda a noob question, other than sd card not working, why would one want to use the 2.6.32 kernel?

I think that you question is because used the kernel 2.6.32 and if you read the previous messages is by works better with this kernel USB connection and for the ROM Fat Free Froyo is the should be used.

Exact, I use much the USB connection and so far the only one what worked is Fat-Free Froyo that thing and installed again with the kernel that I recommended up.

Well, like stated above - it depends on what ROM you want.
The Scoot ROM's require 2.6.32 to function correctly, but I could never get USB sync to work correctly, so I don't use the Scoot ROM's
I stuck with Fat Free Froyo and the 2.6.25 kernel (10-31-10) dated one
Works for me and the USB sync also functions
As I am in no need of connecting my phone to my pc, the criteria of chosing a Android build is purely based on its stability and speed..
So who is the victor then?

As for the camera functions I have the same problems, but I don´t really use the camera and the usb to pc connection. I only care about the stability and speed of a build. I only use the phone for calling and internet.
kind of a useless poll.... obviously FROYO is the best... because its the newest and has the most fixes, features, ect.... and when Gingerbread comes out (and is stable...) It will be the best ROM to have.... yet again because its the newest.
Why would donut (ie the oldest, most outdated rom) ever be the best?
A more accurate Poll would be compare separate dev's roms (two people who have made a Froyo release).... but that isn't very nice, as someones feelings will always end up getting hurt.
This poll cannot be done properly

i disagree, donut was the most solid. it was stable, and it was the first and last time Everything (except mass storage on windows) worked.
mms didnt work either (sending receiving on sprint works fine) and if you use the one RIL update even that works (another users tested and found it)
camera AND camcorder worked (with older kernels)
it didnt have data corruption issues
vogue battery consumption was great
it ran on the old 2.6.25 kernels without any sort of sleep screen of death
ran on haret just fine
just because its not the newest version of android means it gets forgotten, esp with new people starting with froyo and not knowing the history thats there. by your statement your saying that vista was better than xp just because xp was older, even though it had poor memory management and was a resource hog. your statement is exactly the reason why people forget how soild donut was.
and no froyo doesnt have the most fixes on native devices yes froyo and gingerbread will be better, but on the vogue it has just cause more problems the newer version we go. i personally used froyo but its obvious you weren't here for the progression to froyo
Well, you might wait for dzo's gingerbread port...
Better not could you have said thoughtlesskyle as I said in my previous comment it mas not new is always better and which not like this survey simply not vote and thus avoids inconvenience.
Best regards.
Fat Free Froyo all the way!
Definitely fat free froyo (odex RLS5). I have tried every other release on my vogue and nothing has been as smooth as the Fat Free Froyo. SuperFroyo is probably the next best thing, but the Rom takes up a lot of space and finally I'm left out with only about 19Mb or something after I install three or something other applications. And also it lags a lot and freezes and crashes more often. Fat Free Froyo is refreshing, the new theme that is.. and I've had it for over 2 weeks now and it hasn't frozen and I didn't need to restart my phone so often. There are some bugs in it , with the Voice search widget and the android keyboard for example, but thats a really small price to pay for the quickness and stability it offers.
i dont use the build much but supposedly my galaxyS build is pretty stable too, i dont use it much though since i kind of did it because i could

Best ROM for Hero?

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.

[Q] Looking for advice on new ROM

I've been running Fasty v2.0 for a while now and i'm looking to change to a new rom... but not sure what to go with CM7? newest Fasty, serendipity, firefly.. ect.. so many choices so little time i'm looking for something that will have good battery life, and something that doesn't lag a ton.. i know this is kinda a personal preference thing.. but what seems to be a popular rom?
Any suggestions would be great.. also how can i check my bootloader version?

I dont know of a way to check bootloader version. Some of the super developers around here might, but I don't.
Asking what would be a good rom to use is like asking a guy across the world what kind of ice cream you should buy. The only way to know for sure is to try them all.
Basic info on roms. Most I9000 ports have more tweaks and are higher in the dev (source drops for them before I897's) They also have better upload speeds on mobile network. I897 have Audience chip support. Any else past that would be my own opinion on both types.

Anything gingerbread based is going to have worse battery life than a Froyo based rom. This is because the source code is available for Froyo allowing for some system processes to be turned off. These processes continuously run in Gingerbread eating up battery. If I were you, I would try out Andromeda3. Its an I-9000 based rom with great support if you run into any problems. Not to mention a BLN control kernel with voodoo lagfix.
If you need good battery life, I would stay with an i9000 or I897 based rom. They are super stable for daily use.

Im having ALOT better battery on GB than what I ever had on Froyo roms.... Just saying.
I got better battery life on Continuum v6.1, kinda. On MIUI, get pretty good battery life. Big difference is on MIUI I leave background data on, whereas on Continuum I had it disabled.

[Q] Looking for a fast, simple ROM for my mum.

Hi, my mum’s i9000 is running with stock JV6 and it is very slow.
I want to help her flash a very fast and simple rom, doesn't need any extra function or custom ability since she will never know how to use. Both GB or ICS is fine as long as the rom will maintain a reasonable speed for a few months.
She mainly uses the phone for web browsing , whatsapp, videos, facebook, sms,youtube &etc, but the main problem is she never uninstall any app & delete any history/old data even she doesn't need them anymore.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Choose the JW1 ... Simple, good, fast ... And stable ... My opinion!

Simplicity Rom is a great option, runs fast and smooth without all the added bells and whistles. You might want to check it out.

I think you'd better use GB ROMs. They are more stable than ICS as S II ICS have not come yet to be ref.
CM7 may be better. It is a community ROM that every one help. CM (Steve Kondik is hired by Samsung!

Your Mum is really different from mine.
My Mum don't want me to make any modifications. She hate rooting as she thought that Samsung would never help her.

I would stick to stock rom and add a custom kernel. probably something like semaphore or devil kernel. Not an expert on kernel so there could be others that would help speed up the device more. These kernels can help speed up the device while having less issues.
Most of the custom roms, while being absolutely awesome, are not something I would recommend for my Mom. They do tend to have minor bugs some more annoying than others. At least with stock everything works for the most part.
