Database Develop

trying to help a friend. need quite a bit of help here!

alright so im an evo owner. im rooted, rom'd, the works. so i know what im doing but my friend is also rooted but has been out of the loop for a few months. so i need some recommendations as to what the best aosp (preferably) rom/kernel combo is for him. im basically gonna have to overhaul his phone
so links to the best rom, kernel, and a link to the newest radio update (im sure he is more than a few versions behind) would be nice
oh and what is the most rock solid stable recovery for this device. like if you own an evo you use amon-ra its not even a question. is there a preferred recovery for this device also? (it also has to be able to flash radios)
any and all help is appreciated
Edit: apparently my post here was not specific enough for some people. So to clear things up my friend does in fact have this phone (hero cdma) but he has very slim knowledge when it comes to rooting so I am trying to help him.

You aren't even posting in the right forum.... this is for the HTC HERO CDMA NOT THE EVO. You never specify that "your friend" even has a Hero. So this is why I say that.
Plus EXPECT us to just provide all this information when you sir are more than capable of reading, testing, and flashing all of what we have to offer here. You did it for your Evo didn't you? Then you can do it for "your friend's" Hero also. None of us care if you don't want to read everything. It's a forum. That's what you do here. READ.
Now your no Noob to XDA so you should have known this. Shame on you. Learn the forum rules better. And the etiquette. Respect goes a long way here and not just to our forum.

Ok I'm sorry I don't have time to play with my friends phone for a whole damn day. I see him like once every 2 weeks so I firgured I would ask in the Q/A for his device to find out what's good. You know, where you go to ASK QUESTIONS. I'm more than aware of the forum rules and I'm certain I didn't do anything wrong. So either offer suggestions or piss off.
Edit: also I figured it was implied in the op that my friend has this device because why else would I venture into the legacy device forum to find this phone and go through all that to post here? So you gonna help or not? I didn't realize that mentioning a name of a good rom or kernel was so hard. Hell you don't need to supply links I'm more than capable of reading and searching for it once a name is given.

Many retards have passed through here so implying isn't saying... and if you knew the rules... no swearing.
When that question has been asked 100 times over... What's the best rom????
Anything I've developed... and the .35 kernel. There.

Sorry bout the swearing. I for lack of a better word got "screwed" (keep your head out of the gutter) by my boss today and am not exactly in the best mood.
I know how you feel about the 100 times thing. Happens in the evo forum a lot to but the difference is that they have the devices their asking about so they can very well test on their own. I don't have this device and have no means of testing other than my not so intelligent friend who would probable mess this up some how.
And thank you. Now is there a recovery you recommend? I think he said he was using darkstar or something close to that but idk how good that is

I completely understand man. We all have our days. Having a bad one myself too.
Any of our CWM recoveries work very well. 2.5.0.7 (??) is the most used by our users here. As a developer I run my own special recoveries (Green Lantern) to my liking so another USER might wanna chime in here.
Also check out the .29 radio if he's on Sprint. He's probably missed out on it.

Ok thanks for the help. You just covered everything I needed to know. But one last opinion. have you used decks rom? On the evo his rom is the go to aosp rom so I just want to know if that is the case here or if its at least stable. I don't need break neck speed necessarily but more just stable as a rock. I need it to last him the last 5 or 6 months of his contract without needing to be fiddled with all to much haha

Your welcome.
Deck's is good also. If your friend isn't picky between Sense and AOSP I'd just flash that and get him going again.
Personally I'd try TeamHeroC's latest 2.3.7 build from Jaybob. He just updated it the other day and from early reports everything runs nicely. Also it's a small build and GREAT for firerats partition mod if your inclined to do so. There's a ton of options here for our Heros, Picking the right setup is personal choice and a ton of flashing Great device for flashoholics like myself

Chiming in...
Just about any of the ROMs you find here with current release dates are 10x better then stock. I myself, like MattCrystal, am a flashaholic and bounce between them when I need a change. TeamHeroC by Jaybob was the first I used and I always end up going back to it.
CWM or CWM based recoveries have been solid for me--no issues.
But I must side with Matt about the reading......good luck!

HTC One ROMs without GAPPS

I'm just thinking of getting such a HTC One, but I'm used to run CM-based ROMs without GAPPS on my older phones. Looking through this forum I see a lot of ROMs, but they all seem to be based on Stock or Google Play Edition ROMs which already include GAPPS?
Anyone here running his HTC One without GAPPS?
Any recommended ROMs with GAPPS as optional package?

Damned, that's what I feared, I had posted this in One Android Development, but a moderator has moved it here.
This is clearly a development related question, so I doubt I will get any useful answers here in One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.

Of course you are right, my apologies, I indeed completely overlooked that One Original Android Development is the section I was looking for, must have been confused by the word "Original", making me think it was about ROMs based on Stock.
Looks like CM 10.2 is the way to go, great stuff going on for that phone.

The One is a Fantastic device with a ton of development going on .. feel free to jump aboard
At this point I would steer clear of a CDMA version though

That shouldn't be a problem as I am in Europe here. Isn't CDMA a U.S. only thing?
I'm after one to three phones for me any my family, it's either the LG Optimum 4X HD or HTC One, which we get for free from our mobile phone provider depending on the plan we choose. Going with the LG would mean 1/3 the monthly price but the HTC One is just too tempting, after all it should last the next two years.

Where can I find a TouchWizz ROM?

I'm trying to hunt one down as I want to use the S-Apps but I'm a little confused which us the best and where I can grab it?

If you don't know where to look for TW Roms after being a member in XDA for 2,5 years you should reconsider your hunting strategy and stay with a stock rom.
In the end this is a best rom thread whis is against XDA policy. By reading these rules at least one time might reduce your confusion significantly.

Questions and help issues go in Q&A and Help section
All ROMs are in the Android Development sections and Touchwiz ROMs will be labelled TW, or stock or based on stock.
Thread moved

if u have a samsung mobile then there will be 1 touchwiz rom on ur phone!!

first off, question do not go into general, they go into q&a. secondly, these threads are not allowed, but you already knew that, which makes you starting thus thread much worse off. oh, and i reported this thread. btw http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/best-rom-kernel-threads-t2477889

Stock. For moms, girlfriends, significant others, always go with stock

best N7000 rom

Hi,
I'm currently looking for a nice stable KitKat rom. In testing asylum right now. I really like the dark interface. Looks pretty nice on amoled. I have some wlan and camera probs though.
The original omni and slimkat seem to be good choices, too.
I want a fully working nice rom asap and not test for days or weeks. Unfortunately I have other stuff to do
Can someone give me some pros and cons of those or other roms, pls? Which one delivers the most stable build atm.
Thanks a lot

If you read the rules and have browsed a few of the headlines you should already know that BEST is not allowed and in violation of the rules. Try them yourself!

Sorry, didn't know that this is not allowed. Just wanted to know which rom runs without any issues

Unless stated otherwise, each Rom will have their full description in the OP including known bugs. Of course individual hardware condition also play a part in generating issues. The best solution is to always do a full, clean flash whenever flashing a new rom.
And to answer your enquiry, all developers who cooked the roms have made the roms in accordance to survey, latest updates, and mostly from personal preference so again what might be an issue to you might not be to many others. As a weekly flasher, the best way to know how good a rom is of course to try it ourselves, it's all the fun of flashing cusrom about.

I think everyone already stated the reasons why this thread is being closed
The BEST ROM is the one that works BEST for YOU. Read the ROM threads...it is full of members who think THAT ROM is the best.
You need to find out what works best for you, your phone/apps/usage/signal/setup.

In addition to what Kenny said, please do not use the mention system to "summon" moderators, I have been at work throughout the day so wasn't online, meaning mentioning me is useless (at weekends at any rate). Please use the report system for matters concerning forum/thread moderation.
Thanks.
