Stable Rom - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am rooting a buddy's Hero and am looking for the most stable rom. Back when I had my Hero, I used Fresh but can't seem to find that any longer, that portion of his site is down. Any other suggestions? I am looking for something faster than stock but doesn't have to be hyperspeed. The Rom also doesn't need to be full of bells and whistles. Please help, I have been on an EVO since the end of February and this Hero stuff is all new to me again

lol,,,I know dude,,,but ya cant just leave em hangin man,,,,,,,

The newest ROMs that are working great thanks to all the developers are:
Wildhero
Jaybobs 2.3 with a few tweaks
Hero Deck
iHero if u want the iPhone icons
All these people are Hard working so just take the time to read carefully before asking noobish questions that might get ignored or may get smart-alic answers.
I've gotten all of them to work but I got attached to hero deck for its stability. But I have my spare hero on wild sense for my daughter to use as game, music and movie device

Best of luck

yea i use kush rom also along with jaybob kernel sept10, trying out the juwe optimization instead of the v6 script

I wouldn't recommend iHero if you want a full English ROM.

im running teamheroc's latest 2.3.7 rom its very quick, team hydras new 3.5 sense rom is awsome but still in testing i think(correct if wrong). pretty much any rom that is stable is going to be faster than stock without a lot of user tweaks.

[Poll]Which ROM is the best that you've ever used in HTC Buzz: Wildfire?
My first customize rom was puzzlerom but this rom is very bugged, the kernel isnt working good and had a loot of freezes. Now I use cyanogen mod 6.1 and I' m very happy. This is great rom with updates. Cyanogen's rooms are the best because I have wildfire, my frend have G1 and we both using cyanogen rooms. I never using openfire and I cant say anything abaut this... This is my opinion

Cyanogen would be my fav if it had flash in it... for now.. wildpuzzle 8.0.10 since 11 gives me lots of network dc problems..

Id go for OpenFire for now. Until CM gets the sim PIN fixed. Then id permanently switch to that
I do not get it - what is the point of "Whats the best..." poll threads?
You should probably understand that every single person is different, likes and prefers something else.
Imho Wildpuzzle 2.1 1.0.1 and Openfire 2.3.

Cm6 no need for flash imo, watching the youtube videos is enough for me anyways
I am going to let out a secret here............

there is..... NO SUCH THING as the best of anything. EVER. There is a Majority, and a minority, AND in between, BUT there is NEVER EVER a case for the best of anything. We ALL have different needs and tastes.
Want to Know MY favorite rom? Stock. Its runs near flawless, EVERYTHING works and there are no major bugs.
Want to Know ^^Kevins^^, CyanogenMOD.
Neither of us are right or wrong, it just so happens that our needs are fufilled by that particular rom.
Flash EACH ONE, play around with it for a few days and then try the next and you will find one that just 'feels right' for you.

rarrrr internetz!!! the poll is asking an opinion? which is the best rom you have used.....personally the best rom i ever used was the private beta preview of w[ildfire]ndows 98 with added blue screen goodness. available only to me in my head. second best is openfire, but at least it tries.
This poll is just for voting your favorite rom. I don't want any arguments happening in forums :X

all roms where full of bugs.anyway.the best rom is cyanogen.but as i said:every rom is full of bugs.
they shouldnt do it with the chinish version
The best rom i tryed when i used my wildfire was handsdown Openfire.
Fast as hell stable and smooth.
if you ever have force closes you only have to run "fix permissions" in rom manager + reboot.
Meh cyanogenmod, wins alot of votes only by the name.
VillainROM for Wildfire!
Openfire 2.3 combined with SetCpu, cant get any faster than that
Stock - v.stable and has sence and resolves clockwork charging issue (I'm not rooted) and I couldnt get wildpuzzle to boot

What charging issue?
Well, to be honest, i went back to stock rom, just using another kernel that's rooted, and gives me oc capabilities.
I did it because even tho the devs are doing a great job on these custom roms, they are still flawed, some minor bugs here and there, but it adds up, and i can't just fix the issues my self, maybe some can, but i can't.
I've tried WildPuzzleROM 2.2 Froyo v8.0.11 & CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC2
i liked wildpuzzle best.
My vote goes for stock Rom , then comes OPENFIRE fastest and stable too

What should I do?

I want to develope my own kernels and roms but I don't know the road to take to get there. I'm working in some new things (editing and creating system files to boost performance, etc) but What and where should I start learning to be able to make my own roms and kernels for the hero community?
Also which is better liquids 2.1sense rom or nfinites stock 2.2 rom? Pros and cons thank you
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Well thats gonna be a matter of opinion.Liquids are optimized and most of the bloat and google stuff removed. Nfinite's not optimized,has senseand sprint apps.Both have odex and deodex versions. I prefer both odex versions of the .2 roms not big on theming ,also the odex ver. boot faster.Deca's kernels are compatable with all.If anyone can add anything that I missed,jump in get your feet wet and add to my observations based

I think what a lot of guys do is take a rom that's already made, strip it down, and then reassemble it according to how they want
That's essentially what liquid did. So I would suggest to learn the layout and how stuff is put together you do that for your first time.
I'm no dev tho, and really have no idea how to do that kind of detailed stuff. Its just what I've seen others here do and be successful and its what I would do if I could. Good luck.

Done with Cognition, which other ROM shall I try?

Lately release schedule, quality and support of Cogntion went sour. I want to try some other ROM and wondering if somebody switched from Cognition to some other ROM and still had a good quality experience.
My wishlist is very simple really:
1. I want ROM to lilst "Russian" as supported language on handset.
2. Stable ROM
3. Good battery life (don't care about overclocking and stuff like that)
Wrong forum kiddo
This should be in Q&A btw . Not in development . No trolling intended .
Honestly , just try out all the ROMs out there . The best 2.2 ROM i've tried was FireFly , but atm , I'm on the MIUI port for the Captivate .
339 post and still posting on the wrong sub-forum? I hope you really mistaken this as the Q&A
but back on topic, I'm on Continuum v4 with speedmod, its pretty good.
You should try them all and see which one suits you. If you want Russian language support I would recommend going to i9000 section and checking out some of those roms too. Or you could flash a different CSC file (one with Russian) with Odin. I like this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Obviously, you'll have to do some heavy tweaking, but I find that starting with a good base and customizing yourself is the best way to go.
Im gonna go ahead and suggest either firefly or serendipity
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
For me, Continuum v4 un-themed has been the best. BUT your mileage may vary . I love the i9000 modem speeds.
without a doubt cyanogen mod 7. It is very stable in my opinion, battery life gets me well through the day..and it's just so fast... longest i've ever stayed on a single rom.
I have tried them all . I also like cog. But now i use firefly. You should give it a try u might like it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Just like others, I suggest you try them.
As for personnal opinion, I like Team Phoenix's work (FireFly being my top) but there's also A3 that is extremly stable and very stock styled.
Also Seren by MM is something you might wanna take a look at.
Then again, just my personnal opinion and I think you should try many before choosing the one that suits you the best
Andromeda3 without a doubt
Yeah this does belong in q&a but im sure everyone is in a good mood rite now. But im sure a good gingerbread rom will drop in the next few days

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Not development but if you're not falling into the 2.2.1 or cm7 crazes get andromeda. It is probably the best quality of any rom period.
Way better than cog ever was. Just swap the modem for kc1.
I also like the work from dagr8. He was an andromeda dev.
2.2.1 may benchmark faster than 2.2 but andromeda is the only captivate rom built from captivate (i9010 armani)sources that was developed by a team of devs. There was a lot of work put into it. And coming from cognition you are not loosing anything only gaining.

Dragon RC7 is also an awesome rom! I suggest Suckerpunch voodoo #12 with cfq scheduler if you go this route. I switch between the two every other day. Just can't decide which is better. Though I am bent toward andromeda.

[Q] Best ROM for INCS?

Anyone able to tell me which is the best rom for the incs?
I really want cyanogenmod but there's the camera problem being so laggy and im always getting late txts and people aint able to call through even though it says I have full reception is there a fix to this issue besides flashing a new radio cause im unable to do that atm due to my hboot being ver 1.16.0000
Im currently using Android Rev HD and its ok but battery life fails. any roms better than ARHD?
Thanks
Its been asked befor, and the threads usually ends up beeing closed because its the same as asking: what color is the prettiest?
You can't answer that becuase its a matter of personal taste and not fact...
And then there is the whole matter about Sense or no Sense, speed or battery life, new features or stablity...
arhd: most stable..
u can try nik's rom: very cool visuals and sense 3.5
rcmix rom is released too try that one too

to the op...
you are gonna get various answers from people because everyone has different preference/taste. for me, arhd and vu2.39 have been rock solid. it's weird that you're having battery issues with arhd. it's one of the best roms in terms of battery life. there are numerous things you can do to improve battery life. i'm not gonna go into it here since it will take all day and it's been discussed to death. go to the first post in the arhd rom thread and scroll down to the faq section. under the very first question, there are a couple of links to guides that will help you improve battery life.
I'm using CyanogenMod at the moment, but if you want a Sense ROM, I've had great experiences with Nikhil007's Sensation XL.. It was super stable and I got great battery life out of it.
the virtuous team just released their sense 3.5 rom: virtuous affinity. you can find it in the dev section. i've been using it for the last few hours. it's awesome. as expected from the virtuous team.
there are a couple of things missing when comparing to VUv2.39 though...crt animation, extended quicksetting. therefore, my vote for best rom still goes to VUv2.39, only until the virtuous team adds the features i just mentioned to the new rom
Yes, I am a big fan of Virtuous Unity v2.39. I install that, then use ROM Cleaner to scrub off traces of useless HTC stuff, then use OC/UV Beater to underclock (245 Mhz to 998Mhz) and undervolt. My battery drain when idle as reported by Battery Monitor Widget hovers around 19-22mA, which is great! Note that current drain for IncS seems to be reported wrongly using Battery Monitor Widget - we can't get values like 4mA or 6mA compared to other phones like DHD. Cheers!
---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------
Going to try the new Virtuous Affinity ROM in a couple of days after seeing what the other users have to say about it. And there's a new ROM from RCMix3D too! So many roms to try.. =)
Actually there is no best ROM...But there are few most famous ROM... like ARHD, CM7, Nik Trinity Sensation XL and bla bla bla...
Is totally depend on personality, some people like sense some people not...
So ask yourself what you need?
Pretty look? Long Battery life? or what....
If you like sense... maybe can test it out Nik ROM... is cool and i am using it, so far stable and smooth, battery life for me is good too...
Trust us : Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL v 1.5.
Very stable, smooth..

to determine this question... is just simply ask yourself.. what do you want..
Ram?quadrant score? CM7
HTC newest sense? with 3.5rom
just for root and want to get a better 2.1 sense?
there is a lot that which requires your preference..
I dun think CM7 is very smooth.. just similar to those adjusted sense rom by yourself with suitable kernel.
Try Nik Rom

for sense 3.5, try nik's rom. a few bugs still but some people swear by it. or virtuous affinity. can't go wrong with virtuous.

for non-sense, cm7 or miui.

Main question u wanna ask urself is do u want sense or not and if so do u want the latest sense? Personally one of the reason's I bought an HTC is HTC sense, otherwise I would have bought a Samsung or Sony Ericson or something like that. Sense= ehab, VU or Niks Trinity xl which is what I'm using...new version out very soon..No sense=arhd etc. Flash a couple, back them up and switch between them to see which u prefer. Whatever u decide, this will become very addictive!

[Q] Coming from HTC

I recently made the switch from HTC to Samsung as it looked like Samsung slightly won the battle this round. The only thing I miss about my HTC phone is the ViperOne Rom. ViperOne was packed with amazing features, customization options, good with the battery and still ran smoother than my Edge's stock software. So the question is... Are there/will there be any Roms that even put a fight up against everything that Viper Roms have to offer? Thanks for the help!!
just switched from having 3 htc phones in a row as well. I know how u feel. Missing Viper Roms to. Xtrestolite Deodexed unified ROM is the only thing even close that we can flash right now.

Yea exactly the same boat for me. I saw that Xtrestolite*rom. Is it stable? My biggest pet peeve is glitchy roms lol.
I haven't had any problems so far. Runs fast and smooth.
Sorry for noob question but can I flasg that rom on the att version without issue?

Xtrestolite rom? yeah, kinda funky while using aroma but it does work.
not the 2.1 version but 1.5. the 2.1 is for android 5.1.1 which we dont have yet
I relate to this. I miss ViperOne. I keep having memory leak issues with my s6e. I need to restart it so often for it to function properly. I wish viper would do something for our phone. I'll take a look at Xtrestolite. I also hate that I cannot unlock hotspot.
