ROM Recommendation, Without Sense - Hero, G2 Touch General

I am a former Magic owner who has just purchased a Telus GSM Hero for use on AT&T in the US. Could someone please recommend a ROM that is FAST and STABLE, 1.6 or higher, without Sense, with a working Camera.
There are so many out there that it is hard to know what is good and what isn't. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

MrBang has been awesome
its built on 1.5 tho

Im waiting for a Eris port without Sense UI
Never tested a 1.6 port in hero and pre-Eris 2.1 are all buggy

Thanks for the answers. I think I might just wait for the official update. I need stability. Thanks again!

Quickest visually applealing HERO rom w/flash

What is the safest, fastest, nicest looking ROM that has has flash and most functionality for a 32B myTouch?
If you could give me some directions on the install that would be amazing too. I am not familiar with the hero rom process. I'd prefer it to be as simple as possible, just like Cyan's.
Thanks in advance!!
11 Days later and still nothing. I'm sure someone has some idea!
it depends on what you're looking for. There are plenty of 1.5 hero's. My personal favorites are Ttran001's 3.0 and Qtek's 1.7 or 1.8.
If you are looking for an eclair hero, look in the dream forums for a 32B. there are a few there, but they are not quite up to par yet and have some bugs including the camera does not work yet due to not having the drivers

Advice for my wife?

I am trying to get my wifes TMOUS MyTouch 3G upgraded to a newer ROM with Sense. I feel comfortable with the whole process of rooting and flashing a new ROM but would really appreciate some advice. I know she wants Sense but I want her to have a very reliable and bug free ROM. I am unfamiliar with the android scene as I have an HD2 that I flash about twice weekly to keep up on the latest and greatest and I myself don't mid a few bugs but I want her to be bug free. I am just wondering what ROM's would be good for her and if there are preferably possibly a Desire/ Legend type RM that merger Android 2.1 with Sense 2.0. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to put this request and I have in fact searched and I have found a few but I don't want to risk putting a bad ROM on her phone and scarring her off. Thanks for the advice I know you guys & gals will give me.
25 Views and still no advice?
Why aren't you patient lol. You make yourself seem like a jackass and bring up haters like myself =) 25 doesn't mean that every member that just viewed it knows the answer. I thought that was pretty basic common sense.
I viewed this and I myself don't have an answer either nor will I search for you. I don't know many sense roms for mytouch3g, since most or almost all of them are basically for 32A which require the 6.35 radio. You would probably know that if you did some work. I only know good sense roms using the 6.35 radio, which you can't use. so I can't give any advice here.
I read somewhere about carriers dishing out the sense ui roms? I don't know if that's with tmo but I heard other carriers are getting it
But, isn't there an official ROM released from HTC WITH sense installed? I know I am using it. It was released at the end of January.

I know I installed this and it works great. + it's official so it will just not install if its not meant for your phone and it is rather bug free.
I hope this helps.
the htc magic is a 32A board mytouch is 32B

Please suggest ROM

I just got myself a HTC Desire so I promised my son I'll give him my G1. I've been using dwangs latest but think there might be something better for him. Having lost track of the many many many ROMs I would like some suggestions for a stable, fast, games able ROM.
TIA

If you are looking for a stable rom then go for either superD or cyanogen. SuperD just came out with a new version. If your son is old enough I would recommend teaching him how to root and install roms so he can do this all by himself and enjoy the true android experience.
Use the search function to find the Blue Magic rom, it's great for games and is one of the fastest roms available in general.

AOSP 1.6 or higher with camera?

Can anyone port AOSP 1.6 or higher to our heros with working camera, mms, and sms? I would be willing to donate

At the top of the Hero CDMA page is a tab that says sticky ROMS. That is where we hide all the ROMs for the hero.
1.6, everything works except BT and camcorder. You may have to use handcent for sms/mms (or it may not work for you at all, but you will never know until you try):

I thought about tryin to throw n toast n flipz new kernel into a 1.6 Rom I'm hoping good things happen
Keep us updated on the progress! I loved the AOSP ROMS, just didn't love the lack of certain functionality (Camera).
So, now that I hear the camera is working, I'm going to try one or two out!
The new kernel doesn't support camera on 2.1 not sure about 1.6
Tried the 1.6 rom. SMS didnt work so fail on that. I love darchdroid v1 but i really need camera. I really had my hopes up with the official darchdroid v2 coming out. I could care less about over clocking. Darchdroid v1 was faster than any other rom without oc so no point in putting my hardware at risk. I just hate going back to sense UI. I like basic Android. I also see that the GSM Hero and even the g1 have full functioning eclair roms. I'm sure our time will come soon enough
I'm afraid we won't get a really solid AOSP for 2.1 until HTC releases the 2.1 source for the hero.

[Q] Ginger-Sense---Anyone Interested

Ok so here goes i'm thinking of working on a NAND ROM based on 2.3.1 (Gingerbread) Build: GRH78 FOR THE HTC HD2...but guess what...... i'm gonna try and throw HTC SENSE into the mix and see if i can get them to play nicely together....since this could take some time i just wanted to know if anyone is interested at all???? Just Post and ask if your interested......this ROM is going to based off ofMDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.3 with MDJ's Kernel: MDJ S10.3 OC (or whatever new Kernal MDJ releases between now and when i get this rom complete) and the Desire HD Sense including the Sense Camera...(THESE ARE MY GOALS FOR THIS ROM)I Will Be Posting Frequently Since I Will Need Testers to find all the little bugs that i miss....
( I WILL ONLY POST ROMS THAT I THINK ARE SAFE...BUT THERE IS THE CHANCE THAT IT STILL CAN BE BRICKED SO BY FLASHING MY ROM YOU KNOW THAT YOUR VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE )
EDIT: Im Gonna Try My Hardest to have a Version posted so everyone can play with it by 01/15/2011 - 01/16/2011....
EDIT: I just sent a message to cortulla....mainly if he has any tips or tricks that might help out with this build....01/14/2011
EDIT: Ok I'm sorry for not posting for so long i haven't forgot about you guys...i'm still working on this rom..its harder than anticipated...plus having the free time to do it gets tricky...work is having mandatory overtime since the iphone is being released on verizon...(SCARED MUCH AT&T????)..SO JUST WANTED TO UPDATE AND SAY I DIDN'T DITCH THIS PROJECT.......02/03/2011
Thanks Everyone and remember we couldn't do any of this if it wasn't for Google, Cyanogen, Cotulla & (DFT), MDJ, Markinus, gauner1986, danij3l, gpc, LeTama, Rajko and others...and if i forgot to mention you im sorry just yell at me and i'll be sure to add you to the list =-)....

That is so funny, I have been searching yesterday for something like this .
Count me in.
WTH, why not
We are always looking for something new to put in our phones
Good luck and count me in...

Also very interested...
And I'd like to be a beta tester.
Totally interested in this. Gingerbread has come along a great length in the last copuple of days. Latest stock release dated the 14th shows working lights and usb! Would be awsome to have sense built on top!
Please work on it man
Good luck. It's almost impossible; most of sense is dependant on the HTC framework and most libraries, which are in turn interdependent with the android version they run on (2.2). You pretty much have to replace the whole build with 2.2, which, in effect, makes the build a 2.2.
It would be easier to add to 2.2 the keyboard and animations from Gingerbread, along with the launcher. It's close, but it's not really 2.3 either.
Good luck anyway.
for me it's enough to have the desire hd cam on gingerbread. will it ever be possible to provide only the hd cam tool?

+1.
It's hardly possible to get sense rosie.apk (the launcher) working on stock android... (afaik nobody has done it to date)
plus I bet its impossible to do it on a different android version.
Yet I would be interested.

Why?
Use Camera 360 or a similar app. They do the same (may look worse but who cares?)
(maybe no facial recognition - yet do you really need that?)
it seems to me that Gingerbread mostly enhanced aosp anyways, it tweaked the UI and didn't really have that many enhancements.
If you could just port the Gingerbread keyboard, icon set, Nexus S LWPs, and the screen-off animation to a Sense build then you basically have it.
(may look worse but who cares?)

yep, and that's exactly what i want: a good looking camera app. technically i'm satisfied with the gingerbread cam, but it looks awful in compare to hd cam app...
I'm dreaming of it !!!
Bring it on!
I'd love to give sense a try on Gingerbread!
2.2 Sense ?
Sense HD would be cool but I imagine more work
I'll look forward to it !
+1 Beta Tester
sure man it will be revolutionary start .... good luck ...
Absolutely impossible. You need a HTC leaked ruu I tell you that. Unless you are a fremework wiz. If you are, 10-90 chance. Good luck. You may make history with it.

"if" you're able to pull it off, I sure will try it out
