first of all to say hello to all of you folks!
I have few questions and doubts about froyo and honeycomb on streak 7:
when i bought streak, honeycomb 3.2 was installed, but i went back to froyo because HC eats to many ram. for example: opened music player and opera, but after few sec it closes music player. wtf? after using froyo for a week and installing many apps, launcher start lagging a lot. any launcher. so next step is installing scripts to gain hardware acceleration but waterfall effect isn't smooth like on honeycomb, and some games wont start. and my question is: are there any custom hc roms that wouldn't eat so many ram as stock honeycomb, or is there a way to play games on froyo that requires android 2.3+?
Have you tried a custom ROM like HoneyStreak R8?
tried honeystreak several times and it gives me reboot loops or prompts me password

Which HoneyStreak did you use? And the prompt for password means you need to do a factory reset.
first time honeystreak hd7 r7 and it worked from 5th try, and r8 which wont work, only password screen. but when i tried factory reset, clockworkmod opens and only i can do is wipe data but is not effective.
hard reset using manii recovery v 5,xx
this solve me password problem,

now i'm tired of honeycomb it wont boot after hard reset, just reboot loops. tried honeystreak r8 but screen flickers every 10-20 seconds. now i'm running stock rooted froyo and no problems so far.

Give this a try and tell me if you like it

i tried this rom and it's perfect, except there is no bluetooth support, and some games won't run (like samurai 2 vengeance).

LOL, I'm swamped with projects right now, but someday I want to revisit this (its DJ_Steve's rom) and add a better kernel to it.

Are you referring to ICS or HC/HS? Short of a custom kernel I've got a good, working system\ that's waiting for a custom kernel to be a full rom. Granted for the S7 I have the least changes, but also it requires the least changes since dell did a pretty good job keeping most of 5xx roms as close to AOSP as possible from what i've seen (bar drivers of course)
I'd like to ship it otherwise but having users jump though hoops to install it isnt the right thing
I'm too lazy to learn how to disable signature checking in system\apps (as they wont boot, sorta, with modified apks)
Otherwise I have multiple roms ready to ship (one for each dell device).

Right now I am working still on ICS since Steve is very busy with real life stuff.
But I might want to add a new kernel to the the Froyo rom or finish up my Gingerbread rom.
Does anyone have the link to the CWM flashable HC that was posted by graffixnyc some time ago? Or have a second recommendation for a good working HC ROM? I had to reset my DS7 and I hate the stock on it. Thanks in advance.

when paul modacos froyo online kitchen came out
i cooked up a rom and flashed it
then after running into a couple snags with the froyo rom (like apps2sd,market,etc) i didnt want to use it anymore and flashed cyanogens 5.0.7 rom and now when i go into the market the "Top Paid" apps category is completely gone?! and to add on to it its being suuuuupppper slow
any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think this has been covered like a billion times and there is a huge thread for a fox somewhere around here. but i havent actually tried froyo yet so i dont know the details.

yeah
the market and speed was working great before i flashed froyo
and then i grew tired of the bugs in froyo and went back to cyanogen
and it seems like the market problems that came with froyo
followed me back to cyanogen

explain please
You need to do a wipe and just flash CM. Then boot up, skip the initial google account setup bit and go to market, now sign in and accept terms.
Once thats done, you should be able to restore your nandroid or whatever and be good to go.
Basically accessing the market from froyo seems to set some kind of flags on your account so when you go back to pre-froyo, the market bugs out. Re-accesing it from a clean 2.1 rom resets those flags and you are then fine.

wow i didnt think it was gonna work
but it totally did
thanks a bunch man!
i have had my ATT N1 for a few months now and all has been great. I rooted awhile back and have been using Cyanogen 5.0.7 to great success. I have the pershoot kernal and never really had any issues.
Well, that has all changed. Recently I have been rebooting any many different occasions. It almost always does it when I am in Maps and navigation, which is not good because I need it in my life having relocated.
I have decided that maybe I will look to update my Cyanogen or maybe go over to 2.2. I did this today and still having these issues. I tried Kang and it still rebooted randomly and when I tried Modacos r17 it just would keep rebooting at the setup screen. I think that has to do with not having the stock kernal.
Any clues as to what is happening? I really need help and do not want to stop using Android, but I need my phone to be reliable.
If it happens on any ROM and with no correlation to anything - sounds like HW problem.
Did you use overclocked kernel?
I do have a overclocked under volted kernal
sounds like bad sw. get back to stock 2.1 update 1 (if you can) and see if your phone is stable...
WIPE all ( everything ) , and flash 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692609
Follow those 3 easy steps there !
Does your phone lock up (unresponsive) before rebooting?
Phone doesnt lock up. I tried wiping evertyhing but could not wipe the sd partition. Is that necessary? I have done full wipe's (data, dalvik, & cache) and still had similar results. I have updated my kernal to the newest pershoot and I installed Kang .9b1 and so far have only had 1 rebbot. It happened when I was in the browser and went to a flash heavy site to see how it worked. Is there any 2.2 roms that keep it close to stock? I am not a total fan of adw launcher.
Have a look in this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703687
I'm really determined to figure out what is causing this issue for so many people! I've managed to cure my reboots for the time being, and it seems it is kernel related. That said, we need as many people as possible to give feedback as experiences seem to differ in regards to the ROMs and Kernels people are using.
Regards.
I looked over that thread and see some similarities but it is still not totally consistent with my issues. I am running Kang now fine but still have reboots that I won't call so random anymore. It happens when I use Maps for the first time, and definitely when I go to a flash site on the browser.
I cannot successfully use any other ROM since once I install it it goes into boot loop. This is driving me crazy and do not like the thought of being stuck to one ROM since it is the complete reason I bought this phone.
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
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
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!)

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.

Hi guys, since i'm new i can't post on the development thread - [ROM] MeDroid ICS 4.0.3 CM9 V6.1 31/01/2012
Basically this has existed ever since version 5. The problem is if i open any app (say facebook, music, or even internet) things start to get really bogged down and stop responding for minutes. (I have to click "wait" like 4 or 5 times until it finally loads, especially facebook. Music stops randomely and becomes really laggy after 5 minutes of playing)
I know this must be a rom issue, because using a gingerbread rom alleviates all of these issues, heck even using a different ICS rom alleviates the issue but i REALLY like the MeDroid version (MIUI is too iPhoney and texasice just didn't tickle my pickle). Anyway, i'm seeing people in the thread saying "this is as fast as gingerbread!" and i'm like no way... the difference between a gingerbread build and this ics build for me is night and day, especially an oxygen build (that thing is lightning fast).
One thing i'm not sure of though, is i used an EXT4 partition for the A2SD. Now i can't remember if i experienced any slowdowns whilst this was here or not, i'm about to remove it and give it a shot, but i can't see how this lags the whole system out when i have about 3 apps installed.
I'm looking for any help regarding this though, thanks for anyone's time
Might be a bad sdcard.

Well, i've just taken the EXT partition off, and it's still seems the same to me, even with the SDCARD un-mounted it still acts so slow!
If i install a gingerbread rom though, it's as smooth as butter...maybe i should just wait for proper hardware accelleration before i commit to ICS as a daily

Try the zkernel #21with Medroid v6.1. It works smoother than the existing kernel in ICS ROM
you need an sdext4, 1gb preferred and 0 swap
you need to have installed the custom hboot, (System/cache/data = 220/16/200)
per OP page. not just blackrose
verify correct hboot installed by checking your bootloader screen for it to be listed and s-off
you need to have wiped ALL 3x, including System
Go back over OP page and do all requirements--
if you prepared correctly, no reason it shouldn't work,
if not working after that, reformat sdcard with sdformatter

I've tried all this. I've even booted without an SDcard and it still acts the same. It's obviously not the SDcard...i've tried that zkernel and i got a very similar benchmark score to the guy that posted it.
I decided to flash the latest stable cyanogenmod and it's working flawlessly and is very fast in comparison... i'm tempted just to leave it for now, since even the browser hangs around for 20 seconds, and pages scroll awfully without the HW acceleration,
I must just be expecting too much from alpha roms, but something's obviously not right if others can use it "perfectly"

well, if you want to try again, you could still redo sd card with sdformatter and try amon_ra if not using it now
and as you said you did wipe system 3x
maybe too many bad blocks for this rom. although I don't know if that is a big issue with blackrose
I have Class 10 SD and ext4 part. It's very slow. ia2sd script not as good as a2sdx maybe. Frezes and reboot too much. Wipe dalvik and cache regularly but not help. I turned to cm7 too.
Sorry my English.
