Ever since i got my hands on an Android i been testing like crazy looking for that perfect rom. Not until recently cyanogens roms were a nightmare for me. Btw, i have a mytouch 3G black T-mobile USA version. I have it loaded with the RAv1.4 or is it RAv1.2, anyway the cyanogen and many other roms ( i suspect its the SPL) have a screen lit problem. after i put the phone to sleep, when it wakes up it has the big black blur. Cyanogen recently fixed it! and his roms have been awesome until the last release. No more tethering, no more apps like that one fabolous task killer app with the blue icon. Once again im sure there is good reasoning..
I dont need smart ass replies or answers to anything i read above. this thread is for others like me that just want to kno which rom is awesome for their phone. like me, they dont want to click thru every single release thread with 10,000 pages. lets get it started with one that im loving!
1) RaiderX303 Micro Hero v2.0
Everything is FAST AND SMOOTH
No "extra" apps included
Market doesnt seem to work ( i only tried to dl astrid..not dling)
SO FAST its worth it for me to use for a few days even week(s).
and i mean fast as most hero apps i uninstall in a hour.
I will update this thread as i go
NOTE: writing this was purely out of my boredom/lunch break. i do not attempt to put in an extra effort to get things right like that name of the blue app that kills my tasks(damn what is it calllledd) . im simply venting/commenting on roms i try out as im a rom fiend just like linux distros. so if your using the same phone as iam ...come back
update
Market does work just not astrid.
Found wifi tethering on market.
I'm sorry, but what's the meaning of this thread?
my own thread logging up which rom i tried and liked/ what didnt work. is this a problem? or am i suppose to go to every roms own thread to post my opinion?

Yes you should post your opinion in each thread. This has nothing to do with development. At the very least post this in general.
thanks for the right "direction"
mods is it possible to move this to general? thanks
Hi -
I´ve tried appr. 10-15, 2.1 rom´s now.
BeHero, Eris-Clean, SenseHero, NeoRom, Legendary, Villian, HeroDroid and som of the Senseports .... (several versions .....)
I must admit it has been a lot of fun trying this out
But there is always issues, and stuff about these roms that does not work proberbly. HW beeing poorly adressed, FC issues, things missing, stuff mot working.
Ill put my pros and cons here for your consideration
2.1 Pros:
New market place, with info on updates
Eye candy (like the 7 homescreens seen on one page,) I only used this for "showoff"
Brut maps (Google navigation, for none US/GB people)
On legend ... the smart text selection tool (for copying and sharing text)
2.1 Cons:
FC issues (several bugs which differ regarding of your 2.1 rom)
HW working poor, (Battery doesent work in any ROM, Sensors rarely work or is poor, GPS issues which might need reboot to work.
Cam working BAD (almost every 2.1 rom)
After using a 2.1 ROM for a while, it gets buggy, (strange behaviour)
I have installed MoDaCo 3.2, based on 1.5 now.
Really fast, none of the issues mentioned above on this one.
And I must say that none of the 2.1 roms is any fasther than this one
But thx for the fun trying 2.1 roms
BR.
MKrogh
Totally agree with you. I've been through most of the 2.1 ROMs, and am now switching back to 1.5.
same here but I back on Kimera 1.8 overclock
Not for development section! GENERAL OR Q&A!
I do agree on some of those things....
Battery doesnt work??WTF how are you using your phone?sensors have worked fine for me on all 2.1 roms,did you have orientation turned on?
I'm looking forward to the new super villain hero Tom now
Great - now stop filling the development section with crap!
same here.....after all those i got tired ... using kimera 1.8 @710mhz......
Thread moved to General

what he says. I don't get the complaining about 2.1 while it isn't even released yet. Most things work fine or need a little tweaking or extra work (like flashing the radio for gps)
Consider yourself happy being part of a community where we can test, give feedback and enjoy the great things rom cookers create for us.

yeah, battery drained out so quickly, i have to agree, and sometimes it didn't work smoothly, but i thought still usable while waiting for official 2.1 then we have a new cooked rom

NEED help
Hello dear devs, i have an HTC Hero, Rooted, with stock 1.5 ROM, tried some other ROMS, didnt really liket them , put fast SD card and stock ROM became really fast, anyways, for some specific Rom there was a requirement to change the radio, i flashed it, then flashed rom, used it for couple of days, nandroid backuped and restored the stock rom.
Previousely i had GPS working on google maps, the notification bar showed the GPS ON icon when it was on, and google maps worked perfectly, now i got myself Copilot Live sat nav, now the GPS doesn't turn on, i cant see google maps, neither the GPS icon shows when i turn it on.
Firmware version " 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel version 2.6.27-8dd6deee
[email protected] )
Build number: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release keys
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
The copilot shows maps, roads beautifully, (i live in Lithuania btw) but cant determine my position. I'll be off on a journey to Europe with my car in about a week, and i need a sat-nav, thought my Handset woudl go, so my question is, is it possible for me to get GPS working, or should i make some formats, restore factory settings ect. Thank you, hope to get a fast reply
I am seeing some unhappy hero users here. Yes its me the jerk.
Anyhow if you want a rom that outperforms the stock 1.5 one try Cronos Droid

Enjoy.
Anyone care to explain?
Flashing a different radio can give you better battery life, wifi, signal, voice call quality and maybe some other, I think...
How would I know which one is best for me?
Make sure you know everything about flashing first then just try suitable ones for your rom. There is some feedback in the various radio's threads but you'll have to work the search to find anything useful to you.
As new radio's are available i just try them. If they're no good i go back to the last one i had.
Remember to check which radio's are suitable for which rom's, there's only a few here for an HD2 so it's not to difficult. I used to have a Kaiser and there were loads available depending on what rom sys you had.
Are you on a custom rom or HTC?
I had a hard reset an hour ago so I'm HTC atm I'm looking to customize my phone the best. Also, where can I find Manila updates?

You cant update manila. You can either flash a newer ROM with a newer Manila Version (latest is 2015 i think as p.ex. used in Duttys HG 3.8) or you install some elements of the newer ManilaBuilds like the eReader, DokumentTab etc. (available as cabs here on the forum)

Its about the user experience... Picking an interface that suits you and what you use the phone for... Taking a good phone and making it fit you perfectly...
That's the quest of rom chefs and end users and most will flash a dozen roms to find the one that suits them...
I'm sure almost everyone here will agree it's well worth flashing custom rom's, they're far better than the stock HTC roms, just takes a bit of getting into to get the most out of it. A good backup and you can always go back to a stock rom.
No pressure....
Flaaash...flaaash...flaaash!
Tim thanks you've been a great help although I want the max manila home theme. Looks smooth, I want my phone to look good as well as comfortable and speedy
Also, most ROM chefs will say which Radios work best for that ROM, and then you just need t be sure it's working well for you signa-wise in your area.
I had a non reccommended radio for Energy ROM, and I found Manilla would freeze, the phone would hang and reception would drop. One radio flash later, all this went away (and it only takes a minute and you don't lose any settings, so no biggie)

A few of the more prevalent chefs cook various versions for example the energy rom i'm using at the mo comes as a Co0kie version, a max sense version and a standard manila version. Not sure there's any max ultimate roms being cooked as maxcy now has a new interface he's working on, the said "maxsense" and hasn't updated max ultimate for a long time. Co0kies home tab is far better and far more stable, max sense is in it's early stages, probably has more potential but i understand it's got a few instabilities as it is.
Take a look at the link in my signature at the energy rom version. Not that i'm biased though i have, and will continue to try all sorts of roms. When you flash it's worth having a look at the last few pages of the rom's thread and then watch it again after you thread. Generally any probs you have will come up and any probs that don't normally mean it's something you've done different.
And also worth remebering the chefs do this for themselves and share it with us, it's fortunate they'll listen to some of our requests but really we have no right to ask for anything. We help report and sort any faults and generally the chefs will incorporate popular preferences like the energy rom doing all the variants of his rom.
I have always thought of this stuff as a bit like, why do you "chip" a car... most makers make what they think is the best within their limits for their products... they want ease and minimum hassle or comebacks... but some very bright sparks are bound to come along and make it better.. I know when I brought a diesel car, after having nice sports cars before, everyone thought I was mad.. but by chipping it, my BHP jumped 50%, my Torque 35% and my MPG went up to around 60mpg on a good run... so the benefits are there if you are willing to take the chance and change a few things..
I am using Laurentius26 GoldEdition V2.1. I have played around with previous versions from the same cook but it all comes down to finding one that works well with your apps and your needs..
I have previously used many SPB products but found that the basic shell wrecks havoc from time to time.. it can work but not in the way that I want.. so I just dropped it.. all the other stuff works but it really is trial and error..
I am by no means an expert, my constant questions on here shows that, but I do appreciate what I have learnt from here and realised almost immediately that a cooked rom was better than a standard one but you need to find one that suits you..
I had horrible internet connection problems with my stock 1.66 rom and radio combination.
Flashing to radio 2.10.50.28_2, solved those problems.
So that is why.

I do not believe that flashing a radio rom enables the 576 ram.

This may be a noob question but i am going to pick up a tmous HD2 today off CL and looking to see what is the best froyo rom for it. Theres so many different roms i don't know where to begin. I also have the t-zones 5.99 unlimited web (i hope it works on 3g!
Is everything working 100% in your rom?
Any problems whatsoever?

I am looking to flash a 2.2 rom but don't know which one is the best, can someone tell me which is the best and why they think it is. Also in order to flash do I just have to wipe and flash or is there something more that I need to do to go from DI18 to DK17?

Bar none, go with Quantun1.5, stable,quick,clean,and good battery.

lol i'll take a crack at that even though i'm new here and am still learning my way around.
There are several froyo roms out there right now for the epic; you can read about them in the developer's forum. Then, you should do a little bit of research - such as reading the beginning of posts about rom releases, and then maybe the last few pages, looking for other people's comments about fc's and the like. That will allow you to pick a rom that isn't too beta (that is, will be fairly stable). Or you could pick an unstable rom if that's what you want to play with - it's an open source Android device, baby! Warranty voided of course. Always do a nandroid backup first of course.
Everyone:"Of course!"
What's 'best' for me may not be what's 'best' for you. However, without saying that it's better than any other stable and smooth froyo ROM, I'm currently using VIPERrom DK17 2.6 (haven't tried anything higher yet) with some of my visual/audio mods (changed boot screen and sound, changed shutdown sound, using a battery mod). As I said, I find this rom to be stable and quick but I'm not touting one functional ROM over another - it works well for me right now as a stable, quick froyo rom. Also it didn't have a bunch of stuff I didn't want like sprint bloatware, so that was nice.
To use this rom, as the developer himself states on the first post of his thread, "YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE DK17 MODEM AND PIT TO USE THIS ROM!!" For the extremely literal out there, you must ALSO flash your epic with those files after you download them.
The developer, BThomas22x, has kindly included links to the files you'd need on his posting, which you should check out along with the postings from other developers.
I don't really have the experience here to say it without feeling a tad jerkish, but the xda forum is a developer's forum so you should probably be willing to do a little research on your own.
I know this because I'm still posting questions in the wrong places and the like
So a little looking around in the Android Development forum would show you this wiki. That's also a good place to start.
I have been doing my homework and I have seen the wiki, that is why I am now using the Syndicate ROM 1.0.2 DI18 with eXtreme kernel 1.2 and the emotionless beast theme. I just wanted to know peoples opinions as to why they like one froyo ROM over another so that when I choose to flash one I have a basis to judge my decision. Thanks, all your input is very helpful. Anyone else like a particular froyo ROM for one reason or anotherM

Each rom has their own features to each their own.
Ran viper for a few days, but switched to EE for now.
I'm new to the android fam as of today. But the stock version seems to do what i need it to do. I just download skyfire free out of the market place and i can watch everything the froyo 2.2 flash player 10.1 can do. Or maybe im missing something? I need yal to get me up to speed whats the difference besides speed. And please don't chew me out for asking either.
