Hi, I'm looking for the best fast and stable ROM right now.
Cyanogen is definitely not on the list. Since he started mixing in eclair (and stopped releasing separate stable and bet builds) all his releases have really been beta-releases, and not stable one. Especially the missed SMS/background process bug disqualifies it on its own, and it is aslo slower(!) than the eclair roms, t.e.x OpenEclair.
Eclair builds are also not on the list. Right now I want something that "just work", and until video camera and video playback is working (eg. when we get drivers) I will keep testing them , but want something different for everyday use.
It is important that it has a serious dev who listens to bug reports (an issue tracker would be a big plus), and builds from source, or at least tests properly, and not some new (or old) hotshot who just slaps different stuff from different sources together and hope they work.
So, anyone have a favorite you think suits me?
edit: A good chabgelog/specification of what is actually in the ROM is *mandatory*. I really hate looking at a ROM thread and wondering "And wtf is in this?"
Post in Q&A section next time, and try Dwang's ROM I haven't used it yet, but people that have used it say it's fast.
Why should this be in Q&A instead of general? (Almost) Every thread in general is a question about something or the other.
Try WG-Build 2.6 for a day or so.
theofficials, or the vodafone port with htc features (15th feb version) imo are the fastest, although blandest
This discussion is pointless and it keeps repeating over an over again.
Anyway, my two cents: CM is and will be the best ROM because it has a right balance of speed vs stability. I've tried other "super-fast" ROMs and they all are too unstable - shut downs randomly, force closes, etc.
fasttest without ramhack without issues and force close s. What else would you want
anything that starts with fast or super.....are a +1
after that the only thing that can fall in category would be:
WG Build Y-2.6 (as mentioned above)
and if you can get your hands on a copy Wg's 10.2 is great!
As far as the CM roms go....I'd suggest his older builds 4.2.7.1 and 4.3 to be exact...their outdated but still wonderful, you can port any new apps or framework into if ya don't want to feel left behind.
Super D is blazing fast for me
FastTest v2.7 CustomLite (http://bit.ly/dcLg31)
and
FastClean 1.4 (http://bit.ly/ahf8Gy)
The fastest/most responsive ROMs I've ever used. FastTest is a dark themed SuperD and FastClean is a vanilla rom, both are the same speed IMO.
I was a cyan fan but super D is just stupid fast. I push my home key and my home screen is there within 1/2 a second.

+1.
100% agreed.
The only balance between speed and stability in CM is that it is both unstable and slow. Take a look at this bug for example. Many of the issues that were caused by and consollidated into this bug goes way back.
A stable ROM doesn't loose loads of text and other notifications. CM is not stable, nor has it been since cyanogen started mixing in eclair, and stopped release separate stable and beta builds.
All his builds since then has been laggy and unstable - unless you have a N1, which development effort is currently, and fully understandably, consentrated upon. Seriously, just stop recomending it to anyone. For all the good cyanogen has brought G1 users, his ROM is currently, or at least up until january when I last tried it a POS. And it showed no signs of getting better, either.
Many thanks for the tip about TheOfficials ROMs. Running the ADP based with expansion pack now. It flies, and has been 100% stable th 24hrs I've used it so far. Abduction lags a bit when I run Spotify at the same time and syncing kicks in, but thats to be expected on a Dream.
Will have this as a solid, reliable fallback, eve though I will still probably try other (like the latest OE when they fix BT.)
Thanks for the other tips as well.

THe fastest Cyan is 4.2.5 and the current ones are slower than that, I don't use Cyan much I prefer Super-D and Enom's official too.I only used Cyan twice and probably won't be using it again on the Magic, maybe on the N1 though.
im using SuperD, and it is crazy fast. most responsive android rom ever used.
Mghty Max ROM
I'm running Mghty Max's ROM and is very fast and stable I've tried. I haven't had any FC or shutdowns. Very responsive too (I have activated these widgets: calendar, clock & weather, WiFi OnOff, Music, Handcent SMS, Volume Control), even when I'm on WiFi. I Highly recommend it.

Same here... i was a staunch CM flasher... but they seemed to get slow after he got the Nexus One.
I'm happy with SuperD right now... especially with the JIT hack.
Hi
Since there has been lot of activity in the Development of Gingerbread Rom for our Heroes( thanks to the wonderful Dev's).
Just wanted to find the popular as the days go by
good call
it does make sense to do it this way
I'm on ele right now. cronos is great but a couple of bug fixes still needed before I'm 100% happy. ele's is quite amazing. want to try tasty but waiting for known a2sd fix and I'm unfortunately not a fan of almost pure aosp. Some cm things are really useful like notification bar power widget etc.
wow over hundred views and not much votes... is it that people aren't using gingerbread roms?
I think I just wore out everybody's voting fingers in my all encompassing rom poll started a few weeks ago.
hahaha
I tried CM7, elelinux and TastyGinger and honestly i am gonna switch back to froyo. Within first hour or so, ROM works pretty good but as soon as i sync with Google (for contacts) and send/receive some text messages, keyboard slows down, my messaging slows down.
for now none ... waiting for a good custom rom, the final version.
I'm waiting for Feeyo to come back with his kernel in Cronos GB rather than Flykernel.
wow - ele's gb is great, totally finished feeling. tasty's pretty amazing from what I've read. cronos is possibly the most complete and really great too. cm nightlies are iffy as always - they're nightlies and that's how nightlies work - but beta3 or whatever his last official one was (lox) was pretty cool.
time to weigh froyo's speed but constant market issues and older features versus gingerbread's great features but slower UI speed.
I've used CM7 but it got lag too much xD....

you should really try cronos ginger instead of re-posting somewhere read bullsh.t. i'm using CG1.0.1 since it was released and there is no single problem at all.
which market issues are you talking about?
I'm back on cronos. ele's gps let me down big time for some strange reason (app locked up, couldn't quit, restarting phone bootlooped LoL).
I used the Elinux 2.3 and its great..
The Tasty is faster but the screen resolution still not compatible with beautifull gidget...
So i return to elinux!
Ele's hasn't let me down at all, only problems i had were due to me xD nice and snappy, stable. ^^
I have used 0.9 cronos and ele's one like bot of them but I seem to have issues with Gingerbread roms in general
Basically after a while the bottom keyboard Keys dont seem to work , an I have to press really hard. or not work at all
But works perfect If I flash original 2.1 rom so am back on the official ROM
But if new rom comes out I do a quick adb root and try em I love the excitment of rom flashing

uh oh. gb might get warmer which is showing teh beginning of a touchscreen hardware issue with your phone probably.
definitely stay away from hot running roms on that phone
I have used the 5th and 9th nightlies of CM7 so far. Build 5 was slow in some areas, particularly with LauncherPro (I removed ADW because I honestly don't like it), but it was otherwise usable in day-to-day situations. Build 9 is significantly better so far; the only thing that would make me completely happy with it would be fully-working on/off animations (if it's possible on Hero hardware).
I wondered why there is no further development on the camera function for GB. I had tried the latest Elelinux GB and then Cronos GB. The camera pictures captured were just terrible (colour almost washout)! Camera on Froyo is still fairly good and very useable. Otherwise, GB really offers something nice for our Hero. Too bad for the camera (on GB), I'm back to Erasmux's Floyo again.
Elelinux is by far the best GB ROM.
I think Elelinix is great enough.........
Using the brand new Cronos Gingerbread 1.1.0 (the non animation version)
Sooooo fast now.
Hey,
im currently running Floyo on my HTC Hero. Im wondering what is the currently fastest and best running Rom out there.
Are the other Froyo Roms out there better than Floyo? Why are they better?
Shall i test the Gingerbread Roms? Are they faster than the Froyo Roms? Do they run better on your Devices ? What about the battery life?
fiden
from my experience I think elelinux 6.2 is the fastest, but for me it's also a little unstable unless he's solved that problem since I used it (which was a few weeks ago).
floyo is really good too though so you might want to stay where you are.
make sure to use launcherpro which is by far the fastest launcher on the hero.
gingerbread is fairly fast but not really as instantaneous to respond to your taps as some of the faster older roms out there. I actually find that cronos eclair light is the fastest rom to respond to my commands, but it's a highly modified 2.1 sense rom which means you're limited to 2.1 features (if that bothers you, it annoys me now that I'm used to gingerbread).
It's a trade off really. gingerbread is the best os so far, but it does have a couple of graphical framerate issues in UI screen transitions and some 3d stuff.
It's camera might not be quite as fast or good as with older roms also, however I'm not convinced of that yet.
You can always create a nandroid of your current setup (or a bart which will be a bigger backup but will include your ext partition - sort of a necessary thing imho). then wipe all and try a gb rom. you can restore to your floyo bart backup any time if you decide to.
Froyo at the moment is very rock stable and still faster than Gingerbread (Beta). It's like comparing Windows XP and Windows Vista. GB beta offers something interesting. However, from time to time, you may experience FC, lag, GPS problem, unexplained reboot and some apps not useable (not updated yet for GB). The default camera on GB is still bad, very colourless. If you use alternative like Camera 360, only then it is good. If you use GPS a lot, bear in mind Runkeeper or Buddy Runner will have problem connecting to GPS. My daily working ROM is also Floyo 1.20. Use Nandroid to backup your Froyo first. Wipe all, Flash any GB ROM (I had tried Ele's 0.6 and Cronos' 1.10) to try out yourselves.

I haven't tried LP for a few months, but I am quite sure Zeam is faster
Of course Zeam doesn't have as many features.
Ive been running GB for about two weeks and have only had one lock up. (mind you I was reinstalling all my apps while trying to listen to music so probably my fault there..)
Only had 1 FC and that was in Gmail after I changed my signature in the settings but hasnt done it when I edit it since.
Havn't noticed any lag (then again I use Zeam, which flies along anyway),
and I get 3 days battery, half a day more than froyo with the same usage. (then again its using a different Kernel compared to what Froyo was using so that may be why).
As for colourless camera, ive not noticed any difference at all since updating. if it does worry people that much, you guys do know that the stock camera has settings for bumping saturation/contrast/etc up right..? and it remembers the settings so set and forget..?
But yeah. I switched to GB as soon as I was getting reports through it was all stable and nice and I have not been disappointed. In froyo I always used to run into market install problems every so often (items would download but not install, no matter what froyo rom I used this problem used to come and go randomly.) none of that yet!
Have not tried the GPS yet on a proper drive, but on preliminary tests (local runs around the block on foot and in car) I get a fix within 6seconds inside the house by a window and 4seconds out side, Google maps, Copilot and runkeeper all working fine.
As others said. Make a nandroid, full wipe, flash and have a try for a few days.
If you say the Ginger-Roms are still not stable, i will not test them and wait a little time until they are stable . Thanks for your help!!
So is there a difference between the Froyo Roms out there? Shall i test the others like Froyd or Elelinux or Cronos? Somebody made experiences with TastyFroyo from RaduG?
fiden
Im running Cronos Ginger (non-Anim)....
Its much faster than the froyo ROMs i had used in the past. Only problem is that some apps refuse to work... like Opera Mini, Angry Birds 1.5.1
But its not a big deal, its my day-2-day ROM and very useable
So far I'm finding the GB roms pretty damn slow (all of them, including fresh Cyanogen). The fastest ROMs are still probably modded 2.1 sense ROMS, but then your trading features for speed. There are a lot of very fast, stable and feature rich 2.2 ROMs out there though, so that is the safe middle-ground right now.
I've tried a bunch of ROMs, but as far as I can say, Elelinux's CM 7.0.0-based ROM (v0.6) is the fastest of all. Gingerbread ROMs for the Hero have gotten pretty fast over the last couple of weeks.
And concerning the launchers, I'd say Zeam's the fastest.
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
I've tried a lot of rooms too. When I went from eclair to froyo, I found many useful new functions (tethering the first one), but from froyo to ginger what are the advantages? I tried, but then I went back to floyo, the froyo version which gives me the highest scores on tests...
Tests arnt the be all and end all
For example, Tasty gingerbread rom gave me the best scores. but the UI was laggy as hell. the tests are just how information is moved about as apposed to how fast YOU can interact with the device. I hardly ever run tests any more I just use the best testing equipment for me, my eyes lol
hey thanks to all you answers.
So i put an eye on the new Cronos Froyo 1.8.0, which is out since the 10th. Somebody here who tested Cronos Froyo and somebody who can tell me about his experiences with CF?
Cronos is a very good developer... ive tested his roms in the past and there were many good roms out there a couple of them were the best out there!
What about Cronos Froyo?

CF 1.8 is great. Coming from CG 1.1 but CF is much much much faster! Try it, in my eyes no G rom is faster than Froyo.
Hi people,
Maybe we can make a poll to say which firmware we are using daily and try to explain which are the main advantages/why-to-use and disadvantages/bugs.
This might help new users to decide which firmware to use in different situations based on our experiences
I go with the VegaComb, its fast, quite stable(its still a beta), good interface. I also tried the Corvus, but I like Vegacomb better, because of the speed and interface.
Vote for Paul's, it gives me the widest set of features i need. The others lack something here and there: connectivity, drivers, etc...
I´m using VegaComb at the moment. You can see that this version is made for tablets so it´s far more intuitive.
There are still plenty of bugs (bluetooth, camera, some apps compatibility) so I´m looking forward to get another update and see the evolution of this
I'm with vegacomb right now and in the coming days or weeks a faster version should come out but its personal experience just try each rom and see which one suits you best and remember the Vega is not brickable!!!! (BEST TABLET IN THE WORLD LOL)
I use Corvus 5
+fast
+stable
+no errors
For me in the moment the best rom. I use it without overclocking.
I'll second the corvus5!!!
It was my first rom I flashed, there has been others, good others, CM7, R8mod even lil miss glitzy vegacomb, but my heart still goes back to my first love...
I'm running corvus5 sp1 seems great I'm going to try vegacomb today as aparantly gameloft games are running on it so that. Would be a big plus for me
I've been using corvus for some time but I can't fin any good firmware to get my bluetooth Keyboard working, not even corvus.
Maybe 2.3.4 will have a better chance for bluetooth HID devices.
I have only had my Vega a few days but have tried most of the roms out there.
Modaco R8. Quite nice. Seems fast and stable and would be my main rom if Corvus5 didn't exist.
Vegacomb. Looks beautiful and I will use it as my daily rom as soon as a few oddities are ironed out - amazing work!
CM7. The couple of nightlies I tried seemed buggy and had essential items missing.
Corvus5. The most enjoyable, complete and stable rom and I've always come back to it.
i have a hard time with Corvus5
My tablet is called Loongpad, advent vega clone
I tried Corvus5 2 or 3 times.
Every time I reboot it, I got a unresponsive screen but the buttons are still working luckily. The other drawback is the battery life. Compare to VegaComb 1.7, Corvus5's battery life sucks. No insults.
Currently Stick with VegaComb 1.7 although the camera is not working yet. The rest are pretty working well.
Cheers.
Since vegacomb has moved to 3.2, its the best rom for the vega. Far faster than stock. Just the camera and Bluetooth not working, but i am sure they will be fixed shortly. For anyone who has not tried it, flash it now, its a must for the vega. Fantastic work by TeamNewCo.
VegaComb looks nice in our Vegas, and with software acceleration is super-fast
Started with Paul's. Took me ages to get it working (newbe), but when I did, I was euphoric.
Got clockwork (easy install) and moved onto corvus5. Settled on corvus, and thought things can't get better than this. So smooth and fast.
And then vegacomb 3.2 came up. I taught myself how to flash roms again, and can't believe how good it is. Upgraded to build 7 this morning. Amazing.
I don't expect my vega to be a macbook, so after trying all the roms i've gone back to the stock as it's bug free.
best mod rom is Corvus5 sp1 or what ever they call it in my humble opinion ..
gonna have a go at setcpu app using the accompanying kext some one wrote, on the stock some time see if that works, if it does it will be fast...
edit: yup setcpu works fine on the stock a steady 216 khz out put, (you need to reference the vega kext on first start up) sorry but i can't remember where i got it from now, googleing should find the link.
p.s you can get setcpu apk free on an android developers rom site, forgot which one that was as well now but it saves you a £ odd.
add zeam launcher instead of the lousy stock and it's un-moveable icons.
>still waiting for a bug free vegacomb<
>>Since vegacomb has moved to 3.2<< has it? oh i'll add that profile to my sdk & avd manager. thanks for the up..
p.s any developers here use any other android editor other than eclipse?
I used the stock 1.10. Not the Advent VEGA version but the one delivered with the Point of View Mobii2, which arguably is much nicer to work with. Rooted pretty quickly and added market + google framework to it. Tried VegaComb a couple of weeks / months ago, it surely wasn't ready for primetime. But this weekend I tried VegaComb again and the latest 3.2 build 8.1 really is usable. Okay, it doesn't do USB host yet and the bluetooth still is somewhat shaky but the thing flies like it hasn't done before and overall it has pretty much matured. I think I'll stay with HC, at least for a while!

To this point I did exactly the same.
First thing I did when I received my POV Mobii, I rooted it (same thing with my phone) and added the Google Experience (GMail, YouTube, Talk, Market, Reader, Maps, Earth, Translate,...).
The tablet is not mine so I won't put any custom ROMs on it... for now...
Can you contrast and compare?
Too soon?
Midnote seems to have everything working from the getgo...fullroot...all features. Just stuck at 1200 speed.
Don't know about the others.
I'll be flashing the chainfire repack this weekend...

LAGGY LAG!
I would be pretty much interested in the following: What is your guys experience with the well known lag of the note? After several weeks using a rom the note gets pretty laggy after standby sessions...evertime I unlock my note I have to wait a few seconds, until an app starts. This happened to me with stock & several RocketRoms & Kernels and I found many people sharing these experiences.
Will this change with ICS?

I've been using Chainfire's repack for a couple days and it's sped everything up immensely. There's still the dead minor stutter with scrolling in some apps, but all in all it's definitely a huge change.
I'll probably flash Rocket's 1.5 now that the SMemo is working and has the stock ICS messaging app, but is devoid of most of the bloat.
Gonna see if HW acceleration still brings everything up to snuff with a deodex'd rom, too.
Thanks DarkShot666! You´ve mentioned the stock messaging app, one more question in this context: I haven´t read anything about the calendar...are we able to use the stock cal as well or am I still bound to the S-Planner (which I kind of dislike in comparison to the beautiful ICS one )? I didn´t give the memo integration in the calendar one single shot, don´t need it (yet)...
I've been using ICS since the chinese leak came out. First I used that and then, when Team Rocket ROM came out, I switched to that and have been using it since.
I also have used ICS CM9 alpha by maui for about a week as a daily driver.
All in all, there is a serious speed boost and everything looks nicer (IMO), yet there are also still bugs. The most notable for me is lack of "use wireless networks" setting for GPS location. At the moment the only GPS app I use is Foursquare (since my car is in service now, so no navigation for a while), and I have troubles locking on to GPS. It takes forever (meaning it takes minutes) and sometimes doesn't lock at all. This is in contrast to CM9 alpha I tried before, which would give me a quite good location in a few seconds.
The calendar is ICS stock, I think.. At least it looks like that.
What I don't really like is that there is no stock "contacts" and "dialer". It's a personal preference, of course, but I really like the ICS original apps, especially contacts and phone, which give you hi-res full-screen pic of the person calling. This one doesn't.
All in all, if I compare GB on Note to ICS on Note, ICS is definitely faster, smoother and generally way better. You have to suffer a few bugs and a few Force Closes here and there, at least for now..
If I compare the new leaked ROM and custom ROMs based on that with the CM9 build by maui, I must say that CM9 definitely would win if it didn't have the current major problems like camera not working and a bit more FCs than on leaked one. CM9 alpha seemed smoother and cleaner, it also had stock AOSP ICS apps and for the GPS issue - CM9 locked on almost instantly (2-10 sec, even indoors), way faster than any ROM on GB I tried, it also seemed to have a bit smoother animations and effects. One notable example would be when pinch-zoom-out is used in browser. If you watch a demo/review of proper ICS (for example, Galaxy Nexus) where you can see pinch-zooming in browser, when you zoom out, the previous full screen stays visible as a block, yet the new zoomed-out portion is not yet visible. When releasing fingers, the non-visible area fades smoothly to readable text. (hard to describe, so just watch a video if you don't understand what I mean). In CM9 Note does this, but in the new leak it doesn't fade - the area just suddenly appears.
To sum it up, I'm not going back to GB anymore, using Team Rocket ROM now but waiting eagerly for a new release of CM9 by maui.
try the leaked rom ,, its fine and working good and smoth
I've tried Chainfire repack and Midnote. I prefer Midnote - it solved a few things like apps update on every reboot, notification bar prompting for updates and the fingerprint changed to N7000 instead of I9220.
Midnote is the choice! Definitely!
Gona start flashing soon! But im gonna wait for a few weeks for a stable ics rom

midnote 2.0 running for two days. no issue at all.even some games are working that was not working on gb rom.
MidNote definitely. I tried RR 1.4, 1.5 & Midnote and Midnote was smoother by a mile. Stuff just works too. GPS, Bluetooth, Camera, Videorecorder, Market, Dialer, etc. I did make a bunch of mods, removing apps, adding others e.g. video player (instead of second gallery) Titanium backup also works awesomely.
BTW anyone thinking about coming from GB to ICS DO NOT USE CWM TO FLASH AN ICS ROM OR KERNEL. You must use Mobile Odin or PC Odin (careful of PC version it will raise your binary counter & give you triangle) or else you will not obtain complete root, and it will be a headache and a half to reflash backwards then forwards again.
If you haven't tried it yet here's a video I recorded yesterday showing how smooth Midnote is:

Can you give an example of this? Do you mean games that previously couldn't be installed can now be installed?
Thought I'd update.
I haven't tried MidNote so I can't compare but I've been running RR 1.5 and it's fantastic.
Buttery smooth and everything works as intended. Using ADW EX has never been more enjoyable. Used Titanium to remove a lot that I didn't need as well as restore everything and it works without a hitch. I've had solid performance on Wifi too. Bluetooth does seem a touch fickle but that too could be attributed to a low battery on my MBW-150.
The only issues I've had thus far would be that you can't set a wallpaper with forced HW acceleration on and the resolution is reduced when setting the lockscreen wallpaper for some odd reason. Nothing overly major though.
I might try MidNote if I'm really in the mood, but for now I'm pleased with how it's all set up.
I have been using the imilka's TOM and so far I haven't had any big problems. Of course there are some major and minor bugs to be fixed but the de is working really fast on this rom.

yup i would have to agree with him. this rom is by far the closest we can get to cm9 or stock ics. it does have minor bugs such as usb file transfer and video player, and few extras, but everything else works flawlessly. camera works, all other apps work, faceunlock, etc, very fast and smooth. he has even made a flashable zip that can transform the note into an actual tablet form. he had some bugs in version 1, but he fixed them in version 2 (and i must say, the developer is really fast). although there are fc bugs in tablet form, but i'm sure he's going to fix them in the next day or two.
i tried cm9 for couple of days, but the lack of camera, usb mount, and some others took me off it.
before imilka's rom, i was on romow v1 ics. it worked pretty well. but as its not really full clean aosp ics, i couldn't deal with it. although it is pretty much ics themed, except the dialer, messaging, and contacts. but it is smooth and stable nonetheless. faceunlock works, which is really cool.
all other roms (midnote, rocket, etc) i can't deal with. the themes are all kinda "in your face" and i hate that. not really sure about the smoothness and stability on those so can't really comment on that as i havent flashing them really. (maybe once or twice to see how it is, but quickly restored to original rom)
by the way, i hope the devs don't take offense. a little criticism never hurts, and opinions matter

BTW anyone thinking about coming from GB to ICS DO NOT USE CWM TO FLASH AN ICS ROM OR KERNEL. You must use Mobile Odin or PC Odin (careful of PC version it will raise your binary counter & give you triangle) or else you will not obtain complete root, and it will be a headache and a half to reflash backwards then forwards again.

I used redpill recovery to install midnote - worked great, and I didn't have to mess about with odin.
The step by step instructions in the midnote thread were brilliant.
midnote 2.0 for me is smooth and fast for me, fix some of issue that repack has, weird that they are some minor force close at first few boots after flash, then they are gone later. although fixed at 1.2ghz, it definitely smoother than GB clocked at 1.6ghz... havent tried rocket rom yet, but midnote 2.0 is great for me
