Whats the fastest ROM currently available?

I'm running fresh 2.0d right now, but it seems to be a bit laggy..which ROM will give me the best performance/stability?
Thanks guys, love these forums

Um....hmm, can't really answer that one. I've tried like all of the roms out there, though I've never really had the same experience twice. I would just nandroid backup and spend time with all of them until you find the one that works best...

True, but I'm just looking for ROMs that people recommend/use daily that work well. I'm gonna try DamageR right now, I've already tried DamageControl and Flipz, so I'm gonna try some other ones and see how it goes.

SEARCH AND READ...that's seems to be the answer to every single post being made today. It's all here in black and white. One search I recommend in all honesty is search the word:
"BENCHMARK" and read the thread started by flipzmode. It's a really good read.

I heard that CakeButt.ClownPenis 1.3 was really fast!!!! Check it out.

I just spit coke all over the computer at school...thanks Kbizz.

RegawMOD is pretty good and the new FreshToast is also fast once it's setup right... I've tried just about every 2.1 rom available on this site and those are the ones I like the most.

I know it benchmarked the worst but as far as regular use RegawMOD 2.1 is the best and fastest running rom in my experience, that is also on the .29 kernel...

If you search for flipzmode benchmark you will see that all 2.1 rom all run about the same speed.
Other then flip/toast OC rom should run the fastest and its the only rom that will actually show a big difference in benchmarks.
Water it down like all the other "fast" roms and youll have one that is actually fast do to overclocked processor.
Its not made for everyone, and the camera isnt working yet (i have a feeling its not far away).

Hey no problem!! Bout choked myself when I first read it.. My favorite rom name to date!! Wish I could cook.....

This is hardly a scientific analysis, but I have been running DC, flipz, and Regaw's roms interchangably for the past few weeks, and today switched from Sense to the Helix launcher.
The biggest difference in UI performance came from ditching Sense...it was actually a noticeable difference in responsiveness
That being said, I don't think you'll notice a whole lot of difference between the individual ROMs with Sense, so base your choice on what programs/features each ROM has versus which is fastest...in everyday use, you won't be able to tell a difference, IMHO.

So I got DarchVanilla, and I really like it, but the market doesn't have all my apps.. Is there a fix for this yet?? I really like this one, it's very responsive and close to lag free.

+1 The reason I chose RegawMOD is because it was basically a stripped down rom. It allowed me the room to load the programs that I wanted without having to strip useless (for me) programs from the rom. Very nice, stable.

I've found that using Ic3Rom with some apps removed from it, the old OpenGL restored on it, and Launcher2 installed, it's incredibly fast. It looks like AOSP, but has the current stability and function of a HTC ROM. Give it a shot if you haven't

I've used almost all of the roms available out there I thing fresh works better, if u don't want lag you would hve to use aosp

+1 for RegawMOD being the best of the ones currently available that gives me what I want. I really like fresh 2.0d except that is was really laggy IMO too. I can't handle laggy, and RegawMOD doesn't appear to have any of that lag, and so far everything I need and want works just fine on it, including googlevoice, but I only use googlevoice for my voicemail, no idea about sending and receiving calls with it.

if i had to cast a vote, it would be a spin off regawmod(its the rom i built my current rom off) who is obviously the most direct desendant of damage control. that being said, i would personally love nothing more than to rock dcv1 all day(by FAR the most stable) ifffff-the trackball led wasnt a complete deal breaker for me.

Fastest 2.1 rom

Does anyone know of the fastest HTC Hero rom that is on 2.1. Like Super D's roms? Or any other really fast roms. Any helpsfull comments are greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!

SenseHero 2.1!

I will say VanillaEclair 1.2.1 is the best 2.1 rom out

According to the benchmarks posted on the forums, Legendroid is the fastest 2.1 around here.

This was only tested for video / gameplay.
I would usually say there all about the same. You probably wont notice a significant difference between the different versions.

My experience with VillainROM5.22 - stable, but slow. without sense ui little quicker.
ahero0.7 and Androbin 1.1110 (both without JIT) with better speed.
latest version ahero0.8 and Androbin 1.11.... beta r2 (both with JIT) with significant increase of speed. but ahero with lot of reboot, Androbin without problem.
my opinion, same as nprussell (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6275129&postcount=344) , Androbin beta r2 is best.

VanillaEclair its the most fast rom i ever test..
Villain 5.3 its the best SenseUI rom i ever test..

Want a fast ROM? Dont use 2.1!
Use Kimera 1.6 or Modaco 3.2 !!!!! In my opinion Kimera is faster just because of its new overclocked Kernel =) But not my problem next Week my Desire arrive =) =) =)

Has that kernel still got the issue of the camera not working?

have been trying Chpoubs 4.0 Expresso this afternoon. its one of the quicker 2.1 roms, if you are comfortable with using a beta test rom.

I haven't tried any other 2.1 ROMs, but Villain 5.3 is way faster than 5.2.

there have been soooo many threads on this. just do a search!
http://android.modaco.com/content/h.../304106/revote-for-best-2-1-rom-w-benchmarks/
PS. plus, this is in the wrong forum.

What's the real need of a fast ROM?
I've almost tried all of the ROM's, since 1.5 to 2.1, none of them without Sense, because the HTC Hero without it, it's only on more PDA on the scene.
I want for lots of reasons a new ROM based on 2.1 running Sense, but so far none it's good enough. All of the ROM's have lots of bugs, lots of missing features, such gmail, facebook (for contacts sync and completion). Another crucial missing features are MMS and APN settings never working fine.
Here I should say that VillainROM 5.3 it's the best/stable/fast until now. However I rollback to stock 1.5 rooted... It's so far the only one real fast and stable.
An idea for developers: Try to put on all of yours cooked ROM's some file browser. It's very useful for the first time to run, before goes to market.
Thanks to all!

Fastest Rom For The G1?

Ive been running Cannon202 rom its pretty quick but ive seen faster..
What's the fastest and most stable rom out right now?
Its a matter of a opinion i know

SuperBad is faster, but i like Cannon's better.

Naa use chromatic 3.5 its super fast and really stable it even comes with set cpu so u can over clock u should try it its really good

If you want to go fast then sadly you might just have to downgrade to donut and go with SuperD. There is a speed loss on eclair as compared to donut, but I like eclair so much more...

another great donut rom is superfast v1.3.3 fastest rom I've ever used

Chromatic 3.6 is blazing fast!
Thanks for the recommendation!

CyanogenMOD 5.0.8 is pretty quick.

Cyanogen 5.0.8 is actually very stable but very slow. atleast to me it is.
Ive tried SuperE, Cyanogen, CaNNoN202, SpeedTeam and Chromatic Eclair roms. And so far Chromatic seems alot faster than all those roms.
SpeedTeam's and CaNNoN202's roms are decently quick and stable.
But SuperE had to be the biggest disappointment.

I've been using cyanogen and didn't think it was worth it to try something else, since most things are just built on it. I'm about to try Chromatic though.

Yeah I highly suggest it!
Tell me what you think.

I like it, its colors go way better with the way I have my widgets and stuff setup.
I don't like the lack of apps menu button on the launcher though, and would prefer normal icons instead of the white shapes.
Also it seems like every single thing installed on the phone is running when it starts up.

Yeah I don't care for the Apps menu button too, it doesn't bother me too much though. You should try LauncherPro its just as good.
Yeah as for the apps running in the background I highly suggest downloading Advanced Task Killer and turning on Auto-Kill. It saves a grip load of battery life.

I'm using Cyanogenmod-5 For Dream/Magic - Mean Lean Pastry Machine - V5.0.8 (06/19/2010)on my G1 and it's fast.....

To get the nexus squares back on the launcher on chromatic, install the latest system version of the ADW launcher (0.90) by pershoot. You do loose the cool symbol on the search bar and the highlight on the squares is back to orange, but everything else is the same. .86 is installed by default.
Edit: the link: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=680

jubeh's AOSP 2.2 is pretty fast. no OC and no swap needed. camera and gps aren't important to me so i will be using this as a daily driver.

The last couple of days, ive been trying to decide for myself on this exact topic. I suggest SpeedTeam for Eclair (its super fast and battery efficient; almost a full 2 days with light/medium use wwith close to 17% left on charge).
Jriv is right though. if you want fast, downgrade to superfast 1.3.3. Its rediculous how fast it is. by far the fastest ive used.

I think that Chromatic 3.7 is the best and the fastest software for G1 by now. Also there is no errors in it, lots of theming and CM goodies + gapps + preinstalled apps like EStrongs File Explorer.

Are we talking about 2.1 ROMs here? Or any ROM? Because I have yet to find a 2.1 ROM with the speed of a 1.6 ROM.

I have been running SuperD 1.9.3 for a week after using SuperE for a month. I honestly notice absolutely no difference in speeds averaged over time. Some tasks that are slow in Donut (web browsing) are faster in Eclair (task switching) and vice versa. I don't generally play any games or do any CPU intensive stuff, so I can't comment there, but for basic, everyday tasks, they both seem to perform about the same.
Battery life is the only thing that keeps me from using Eclair full time.

[Q] Recommend a good rom

Just got a Hero again a few after i got my old one destroyed.. Back then there wasnt even made a custom rom, so now im going to ask here.
What Custom Rom do you guys recommend ? I have tried allready tried ChocolateFroyo and SalsaSense 4 .. However none of these two roms seems to perform good enough for me to use..
Actually its not that i want that much.. I just want a Android 2.x rom with a good performance and OC kernel + HTC Sense.. I just tend to stick to the 2.2 roms because 2.3 has too many bugs and i've heard that the Android 2.1 roms still suffer from the Random SMS sending issue..
Can you guys recommend anything ? Thanks !

If you want performace, go Vanilla Eclair. If you want Sense and over 2.1, it is a bit trickier. You can try Herolatte, but if you think ChocolateFroyo was too slow, there probably is no current rom which suits you.

I haven't even tried out the Stock 2.1 rom yet.. Hows the performance on that ? And its not like ChocolateFroyo is slow, i just a lot of lag spikes.. Like its performing well enough but then suddenly it all freezes for like 15 seconds and then comes back..

I reccomend Kimera 3.0. Its almost as fast as Vanilla, IMO a bit more stable. I used it for around a month, and recived all my texts, and calls. Only problem is that there is no Apps2SD if you use Fly13 (It's the best kernel imo)

Gonna try that rom.. Just skipped it because of the extra steps when installing ! Not gonna need Apps2SD anyways as i only have around 7 - 9 apps installed

Well, kimera is nice, but it is Eclair, so if you're afraid of random messages... BTW I've never experienced these on any Rom. Seems it only affects some ppl

I've tried loads of different rom's and the herodeck 1.3e from my sig is my favourite. I try others but keep going back to it. Why not backup your existing..... flash a new one..... try it out for your own needs and if it's no good.... flash something else that's been recommended or revert back to your backup.

Using Cyangenod released by Elelinux. It contains the latest android version 2.3.7 and is very stable. However this rom is in my opinion not very fast.

I've only really tried a few, sense roms are always slow with all the features. Try elelinux speedmachine running 2.2, I don't know of a faster rom, I haven't tried them all though.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

I've always used VillainRom 13 - nice and fast with Sense. If you don't need sense then VanillaEclair seems to be the best judging by what I've heard. I used Elelinux's Gingerbread for a while and that was nice too, but I like Sense too much

Good GB rom
The decked again Hero CDMA ported rom is the fastest GB rom I have tried ALOT of them, so I would recommend that for you!

I use
I use Elelinux-7.1-Hero-Custom-v2 on a every day basis.
Works fine, no FC and quite fast.
I can recommend it.

If you want a fast, stable build I'd recommend Villain Rom since the hero was build to support Android 2.1 and you'll have sense. If you like new and improved and are no stranger to tweaking I'd recommend HTX zero rom wit Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5. Very cool and fast.I use it daily now.

VR13 and the new release Heroine++ are the fastest for the hero. (if you like sense to much)...if you like AOSP you go for a CM rom or others
for aosp i tested:
1.CM7 - CM team
2.Eles Rom
3.OMFGB - JieeHD
Stefan

Can you explain, what's the difference between AOSP and non-AOSP and why should i like and care if it is AOSP or not?

AOSP (android open source project) is regular android with no overlay like Sense or TouchWiz.
Non-AOSP is android with an overlay like Sense.
Sometimes the AOSP rom is faster because there is no extra overlay.
It comes down to preference - look and feel.

Best MIUI

Well firstly, i have more knowledge in Sense roms, so i firstly dont know what MIUI even means, but ive seen quite a lot and heard their battery life make sense roms look quite terible.
Anyways, i was looking for a very stable, fast, fully functioning, nice battery life and feel, MIUI rom.. anyone have some suggestions? Getting bored or sense.

Miui 1.12.9 has been pretty stable for me. The only issues i have is the front camera not working (i believe that's the case with all aosp roms) and text messages over 160 characters won't split and send, so u have to break them down manually. Besides that Miui is, in my opinion, the best rom I've tried.

You need to get caught up.
MIUI 2.3.2 is the most stable. There is a 2.3.9, but I haven't tried it yet, nor seen much about it, but 2.3.2 (actual version is 2.3.2_b1 es) is very very stable. No issues at all. None.
You have to do the sense GPS fix (or one of the GPS fixes) before you flash it and if you read my guide, in my signature, you'll get a good walk through on how to flash it, DT A2SD, the kernel (Tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.1.0), etc.

What he said. I'm running basically the exact same setup, and it runs flawlessly. There's a lot of theming capabilities, plus it's easy to create your own themes, so it looks great too.
I tried MIUI because I was bored with regular AOSP. I thought about trying Sense but it wasn't my thing so I tried out MIUI. I've ran it almost exclusively for a year now. Swiper's build is great, get the ES version and you get the extended settings mod built in.

Hey Jane, you should try DianXin out. I've been running it for a week now.

I've been wanting to try it, how do you like it? Any noticeable issues?

The ONLY issue is that the only text app that really works is the native, but it's having probs with pics. If you have Go SMS, et al, even turning notifications off in the native, they still come in on the native and on Go SMS... twice, so I just froze Go SMS until I need to d/l a pic. Other than that, it's smooth. Comes with some great native apps and the best battery utility I ever saw. Options everywhere!
