Thanks , and yes, of course I'm doing a 2.1 ROM. I'm waiting until the offical one though. But I gotta tell you, the HTC 2.1 beta builds are VERY fast lol! Might not need speed upgrades!

cool...but ill wait until the official drops and you make one. i don't do beta builds, lol!
ill also donate when i can man!

I was running pancake before I move to the 2.1 section of the plane.

gumbo 1.5c with full senseUI has been my rom of choice

Bikcmp, I don't think I ever used your ROM.. I might of but my memory is still short term.
Gumbo 1.5c BARE was my favorite though.

pancake without sense is a super fast & stable rom...still running it as we speak.

TTG
not the newest one

see sig i mainly use TTG's tweaked to my liking

pancake is my choice. Nice and fast, super stable too.

Gumbo and fresh

Pancake 0.1 sense

Rolled my own 1.5. Basically took Modaco's 2.2 w/ Gumbo kernel and started editing APKs to update colors, transparencies, screens, etc. to my liking.
Now running DarchLegend V2 and started editing APKs yet again to make it my own.

Just moved to Gumbo1.5c bare..... i am lovin it.....its fast.....by far my fav 1.5 ROM

EASILY pancake, nothing comes close... i just added some visual elements that made it my own, but all the hard work was done for me thanks to bikcmp!
now i'm waiting patiently for the bikcmp's official 2.1 ROM-lease.
R

I run Gumbo w/sense.
Modaco was good too.
Pancake no sense wouldn't work for me. I forget why.

I stay fresh to death.... Lol

[Q] ROM based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense with all the +++ !

Hi - my Hero's !
Are U looking for a real hero ROM?
I totally agree with the quote from rdejager @ villainrom.co.uk/forum :
We can all face it - the hero is not made for 2.2 and even more 2.3 .... Our phones are just not made for 2.3 sense and 2.2 sense .... 2.1 sense roms run fine on the hero. and you can really see that they are made for it, cuss everything just works for it, the hardware is made to the software...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So - do U want to use the power of our long development journey in a fresh ROM?(based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense 2.1)
Good News:
-> Repack ROM from elelinux based on stock ROM 3.36.405.1!
-> VillainROM v13.0 Release * WWE * Android 2.1 *
-> other 2.1 roms
How do U tweak them? How du U like them?
Thankx for any helpful suggestions!

http://www.ekg-clan.de/pasta/hrdb/index.php?site=a21 choose the one you like most they are all good. but if you want only one named: Cronos 2.1.4.1 Sense Eclair

@iPasta: Thankx for the link - nice overview!
Like to try a 2.1 SenseROM again after spending a couple of months on Ginger & Froyo.
At first I want a speedy and stable build.
I have just tried to flash 7.0 v1.0 (Elelinux) - and no, it is still noticeably slower than Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero-Speedmachine rom (6.2). Slightly faster that 7.0 v0.9, but still far beyond 2.2. So; is it possible that a 2.1 feels again more faster?
Will report back my impressions - if U like!

I would suggest Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM. It is, apart of Cronos, the latest updated 2.1 ROM, and is by far smaller in size (nearly 30 MB!). In addition FlyKernel-12a is a good choice

@Krizp0 : Thankx! So:
Do U agree with:
"After a long time playing with 2.2-non-sense-ROM's, I returned to 2.1-Sense.
--> Nothing smoother than 'Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM' with FlyKernel 12a."

Well, I know I went from 2.3 Gingerbread to Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM and felt very satisfied with the speed and stability of good old 2.1, especially since Sense makes your phone full and not fragmented so you have to download widgets and other things to get it as you want. The only thing you may miss is the new functions and apps that require 2.2+.
Edit: I also encourage you to take a look at Tegro 2.5 RC3, it is very Sense-like, but I haven't tested it.

If you want a rom that is A sense rom 2.1 for the HTC Hero GSM and build for it and that just works 100%.
Use Villainrom 12. You can customize it with their kitchen. It may be old, but that doesnt mean its crap .
I myself flashed FlyKernel 11C BFS over it and it works fine here .

That. And BTAudio just works. And I can't remember an app being installed in less then a sec.. ever XD.

Why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1 / 13) !?
Thankx for the suggestions - looking again for VillainROM (i'm a donator)!
I'm impressed and feel backed in my plan to downgrade to 2.1 sense Rom.
My question now is:
How do we can make "VillainROM 12" or other "2.1" Roms more stripped and tweaked?
What do U recommend?
- FlyKernel 12 / Implement Kernel tweaks.
- OpenGL
- EGL
- Gallery 3D
- Latest Gapps
- Implement HTC Hero OTA update 3.36.405.1
So - why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1) !?

I am trying to implement this OTA into VR12.1.
Will play with the OpenGL things too

Jahooo! *perfectly happy*
Which kernel do U include into 12.1?

So far as I know a modded version of FlyKernel 11C Cuss 12A is buggy, for me it is unstable and I dont like it. now running 11C on Villainrom and well it runs smoother then 12A

Rom is faster and works like a charm. I was just deleted some stuff (apps...)from Rom before flash. From my point of view - recommend

Pulsar had a modded version of Flykernel 11C in his Froydvillain release. I was refearing to that.
What did I tweak. well the lockscreen, battery Icon, and I removed like 90% of the apps. and I updated EGL. And well I love it.
Now I am on Flykernel 12A M652-M176-noatime
I got awesome battery life.
I went back to Ginger for a test. and well no that was a no go....
The speed in Villainrom is insane.

RCMix is nice and all, but still even VR12 is bloated but RCMix, man... even if you remove all that crap. You can never get the speed of VR12.

may be a dumb questions, but can another ROM be flashed over the updated GB ROM? for instance, if i flashed the GB ROM, can I flash MikShift over it? or will that just take me back to 2.2 with MikShift?

It will take you back to Froyo 2.2.
Mikshift is a 2.2 Sense based rom.
And This is 2.3.3 Gingerbread

Dumb question: Why not ask this in the thread dedicated to the very same topic where all the people who are actually using it are idling?

To install the 3.0 Lockscreen you need to be on MikShifted G (http://www.themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=178&t=940)
After you are on that rom and have it all set up how you like it, have Titanium Backup installed and then follow the instructions on this post (from me) (http://www.themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=11143#p11143)
Thank you aamikam for making this awesome rom....im running it now....went rite from MikShift to this one

great
It works wonderful
I love it so much

You can set up the Sense 3.0 Lockscren on just the initial leak as I have.

NM...figured it out

AOSP 2.2 vs Utopia

So, which ROM is better for GT540??

2.3.5 is best in my opinion I tried the 2.2 roms didn't like them tried mur4iks work loved it never looked back

Wonder when there'll be Android 4.0 for the LG GT540. Will it be even compatible?

Guys, author wrote question of comparision between two froyo roms, so why you recommend gb roms ?

I know, and that is why I ask about Froyo ROMs..

Well, if you just want a stock looking, fast ROM, then go for AOSP, but if you want more themes, and other mods then go for Utopia.

I'm staying on Utopia.. and I will make MIUI theme for it when I get my phone back..

Works fine for me, try flashing gapps. Download this, put it on the SDCard and flash it using Clockwork Recovery.

Utopia anytime, miroslav_mm is working really hard on it. It's a lot more 'complete' than AOSP

Oops! I completely forgot my signature. As I'm always between ROMs! Thanks for pointing out!!

HAHAHAA

Utopia was my favorite until the RC3 version came out. I had a lot of trouble trying to make Link2SD work (I experimented with different versions of Busybox and finally I got it to recognize the second partition) but today I had another problem with WiFi, which suddenly stopped seeing my WPA2 home network. I had to go back to my previous version, where everything works...

I'm really intrigued about Utopia. I've read that it's fast yet it doesn't eat up battery like other roms. I'm just wondering how do I upgrade to that. I currently have stock eclair and somewhat of a noob when it comes to rom upgrading. Thanks

You could flash a Fastboot ROM vis KDZ. It could be one of the many ways.
