Best Rom for Hero - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hi, for the past 6 Months i have been a htc Magic owner but ive just recieved my Hero which i have now rooted. Its currently running a Modaco custom Rom formware 1.5 but i want an update. I normally use Cynogens Roms for my Magic, Can anyone recomend a good Rom for my Hero thats very stable please?
This one has issues I.E the backlight and screen never switch off. Its constantly on draining the battery to death. I was thinking of installing the generic rom on there so it can update automaticly when the provider releases the Rom. is that a bad idea?
Thanks you, and Merry Christmas!!

Merry xmas bud,
if i were u, knowing what i do now, i would continue with the MCR's...
v3.0 is spot on for me w/regards to having no bugs/issues... (also looks sweet with Ratcoms ''Clear as a bell'' theme http://www.4shared.com/file/166539476/ad6fb729/clear30.html )
If u wanna venture into the Android 2.0/2.0.1 realms, i played with most of them but they each lack ''core'' elements which is a must for me for day to day usage...
hope some of this helps.
Dickie.

thanks for that, i've been holding out for a 2.1 hero rom for a while now. I guess i may go with the modaco rom until htc get their act together with the 2.1 hero rom.
I have to say i'm massively disappointed with the hero support... i guess this is what happens when open source fragments!

thanks a lot!
If i install one of the generic roms off Modaco http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-24-11-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/ i will recieve the update earlier compared to the T-mobile carrier Rom wont i?
Thanks

not as far as im aware...
as with most custom roms, someone usually gets hold of a pre release, and base their rom on that before anyone receives it OTA or via the appropriate website. Then, when the official is released, they update it with the kernel etc from that... (with their tweaks etc...)

I use the latest generic HTC rom, i think its perfect, i had some issues with modaco 3.0, the most annoying being the device didnt remount the sd card after i unmounted it, i had to soft reset before it would read it again, the official rom is gr8 tho, its fast and stable, i havent had any issues to date

Is it still suffering from the startup freeze like all the prior versions?
Yes, I know I can flash and see for myself, but to be honest I am feeling pretty lazy today.
Thanks for the announcement and link.

Which Hero ROM?

Hallo all
I am currently using cynogen's 3.4.6 ROM and love it.
I want to try out a Hero ROM.
In your opinions, which Hero ROM should I try?
Thx for any info you all can give.
Wait a couple days and you will see 3-4 Roms pop up using the newly leaked release of the Hero Rom including a superhero version.

I agree, I tried out the new leaked one, and dang is it amazing. Just a tad bit buggy at the moment, however vast speed improvement and a very nice looking gallery application with that TouchFLO feel. I switched back to Haykuro 6.0.1 however for now just to wait until a more reliable version is released. Just a fair warning, I was unable to use Nandroid to restore, I got a boot loop for some odd reason no matter what I did. I had to start from scratch.
Did u have the new spl??
Yes, I use the new SPL.
I guess I shall wait then. THX!!
I tried out JAC's Hero ROM and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! REALLY slow though. Went back to Cynogen's.
Running JACs Hero 2.0 beta and a lot faster now. Still a lot of bugs but I'm sure they will be fixed in the next couple of days.
what spl did you use? which is the newest?
the best rom until now is the superhero v2.is fast and stable.download from here.

[Q] Android 2.2

Hi,
Can I go ahead and flash the Android 2.2 OS from android developers website? Will it work?
Regards,
Mithun.
NOT DEVELOPMENT RELATED MOVED TO GENERAL
we have three 2.2 roms:
fyodor 0.7.2c
SP-froyo 2.0
SPQRom 0.4.1
all are very stable but BE AWARE: CAMERA DOESN'T WORK and there are other little bugs that are being fixed...
I did this earlier this week using the manual root method, RA-recovery & fyodor ROM. As long as you read the instructions several times before starting and have all the tools to hand, fairly straightforward process.
BUT there are some annoying niggles that may make you delay. For me, not having handsfree Bluetooth means that I can't use the 2.2 ROM as I spend a lot of time in the car. Similarily, CoPilot doesn't work on 2.2 an ALK have yet to release a patch.
IMHO the 2.2 ROM is miles better on Tattoo than 1.6 (faster, neater, smaller) but does have some outstanding issues that you need to consider before flashing.

Thanks so much for your quick reply, Albert & Maxi.... Well, my phone is just 2 weeks old. I had played around a lot with my HTC elf, which was out of warranty. I am just concerned weather it will void my tattoo's warranty. Also, could you please brief me what else doesn't work apart from the camera. I called up HTC support today and they were not really helpful in tellin me about the update for my tattoo.
According to you both, which is better, 2.1 or 2.2?

Mithun.

I haven't used any 2.1 ROM's so can't comment but when you have rooted & RA-recovery on your phone, you can flash a ROM in a matter of minutes so you can quickly decide which version / variant is best for you.

the last version of copilot works on froyo
anyway in my opinion it's ok to choose between 1.6 or 2.2 but 2.1 is a NONSENSE 'cause camera doesn't work in 2.1 and 2.2 is faster and faster...you can install apps to sd without any patch...

Bro, I also wanted to know whether it will void the warranty since my phone is just 2 weeks old and I have a years warranty. Is there any way I can restore my phone to the original state after flashing a custom rom? I had done that on my elf before.... Where can I download stock rom for my tattoo?

Yup. Just do a backup.
As for warranty, HTC might try to use that as an excuse not to fix the phone. But unless the problem is related to the rom...
Only some specific rom (the ones that do overclocking and such), are actually susceptible of causing hardware problems)
And of course, switch back to stock rom, to make sure the issue you might have is not rom related.

Release of Official T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1 )

Hi guys
Received a sms message from T-mobile announcing the official release of ROM update. Check out the Tmobile HD2 site.
Edit:
Installed the update; found nothing new or exciting and now reverting back to Kumar's TMHD2 Touch Premium 2.9 WWE
For those who have flashed 2.08.HSPL to use unofficial ROMs, if you install the official release by USB your 2.08 HSPL will still be intact after the upgrade and you can go back to other ROMs with out any problem. That's what I did by reverting back to Kumar's ROM.

I am curious too about what it is for, it would be cool if it was Windows 7.
I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.
I just got the sms message too - I'm downloading it right now from the t-mobile website.
Figures - I just put a different ROM on my phone - yesterday! hahaha
i wonder why i didnt get a text, maybe because i was in android?

Still no multitouch keyboard. Is this not possible with WM6.5? I just can't understand why, almost a year after initial release, HTC has not released a multitouch keyboard for WM6.5 on the HD2. Iphone and Android have had it forever, and it makes SUCH A BIG difference!

As so many forum members have said, perhaps for a million times, ROM preference is really an art of matching ones individual needs; I have been testing several ROMs, Energy, Kumar's, Omega etc. and currently find Kumar's ROM meeting my needs. To me Kumar's ROMs seem stable and do not have many programs that the chefs generally tend to add to their custom ROMs. I like my system to be as minimum and as stable as possible so that I can add and customize it as I want.
So the best thing is to try couple of Custom ROMs and see if you feel comfortable with the version of ROM you have installed.
Also, the latest version of ROM (both Official, Custom) are generally less buggy.
For those of us who do not want to go for the custom ROMs, I guess today's official release from T-mobile should be the one we should be upgrading to. T-mobile must have ironed out previous noted bugs in this new upgarde. For the brief moments that I played with the official new release; everything was smooth and working. But as I said earlier, I have now reverted back to Kumar's ROM.
It appears that today's 'Official" release is the same as the leaked release from a couple of weeks ago.
The size of the RUU_signed.nbh is exactly the same size. The date is different but I doubt that means anything significant.
I never got any text from tmo. :-(
after attempting the update, I get 7 vibrations in a row at the tmo boot screen and then it freezes. Anyone else have this issue?
Just installed, took like 3 mins and it runs ok, they added new icons: amazon Mp3, Myaccount, Shazam and T-Mobile Help... my account and t-help icons are useless they dont do anything, still testing, i saw some improvements like faster reading from memory, now when i insert the sd card with a bunch of images, videos and music it takes less time reading them, the only issue that i got was that im unable to run android cuz it gets a weird screen and it does nothing, but if i get some problem i'll post it ok? thx!
what does the update even do?

I just updated to 2.13 the other day, and I put a custom ROM on my phone that I really really like alot since my phone seems to respond better to this one with no small lag. I have a question though, if I update to 3.14 will I loose the ability to put the custom ROM back on the phone or is it safe to update and put the custom ROM back in?
hi,
I have stock ROM 2.13.531.1
i recently installed HSPL3 and radio 2.15.50.14
now my quuestion is will i be able to install the new ROM without any problem? i dont want to brick my phone. Also will i be able to install the same radio 2.15.50.14 after installing the new stock ROM.
Hopefully htc have fixed the sms bug coz everytime i get a new sms my whole phone freezes for like 5 sec. and its really killing me.
thanks guys

If you currently have a running, working, ROM on the device now charge the device to 100% and then run the stock ROM update.
Here is for t-mobile:

Well, not sure if you checked the fora lately, but I have screen shots on all my ROM Suites ^>^
My suggestion for RUU would be to flash my iTrib set for RUU, as I think that it has the most conventionality. I am actually running this ROM right now on my device (well the SD version that is).
does changing the rom after hardspl would damage any hardware thing? like my keys r not working "only 3 keys.. z c and l) other than that all is fine. i have flashed with official rom.. i din noticed it but recently did and u might see that post here.. now again i flashed with one of ur roms and still having same problem.. can u suggest wat the problem could be?
I believe you said that you've changed over some of the hardware on your device, correct?
If so, I believe that is where the problem lies. I would take apart what you did and rebuild again to see if you missed anything.
It is possible that if you purchased any hardware online that what was purchased was not functional to begin with..
yeah thats correct i have changed the panel of my mobile. I did everything perfectly. Even i gave to service center and that guy also assembled it once again. sometime it worked and then again it stopped!! is there any perfect guide for to?
I'd say you're a victim of purchasing faulty hardware..
Even if you installed everything perfectly there would still be errors in this case.
its just a housing not a hardware circuit or something.. if it was i would have compromised myself!!
