Looking in the Adroid Development forum, there seem to be lots of Eclair roms out there. Some in very early alpha stages, others which have had many revisions. And with the camera fix, it now seems that most/all issues of usability have been addressed.
Just so I don't have to flash ALL the Eclair roms out there, can someone pose their experience with these Eclair roms, and which they prefer for day to day usage on their G1?
My current rom is the latest Cyanogen rom. How are the Eclair roms speedwise compared to the Cyanogen roms? Are they responsive, or sluggish?
Hopefully others can benefit from your experience with these new roms.

using JAC's xRom 1.0 and its very smooth, with the exception of video playback. I'd say its almost onpar with cyanogen. Using the 10mb ram hack for both xRom and cyanogen.

Im using manup 1.5 with the 10mb rom hack mod (posted by another member) and it is blazing fast...almost as fast as the super d i was using and i don't get any fc except on bootup the stuff starting up says fc/wait and you just pick wait then its fine.
i'd highly recommend it and everything is smooth on it. video playback looks fine.

Ive worked with two or three different eclair ROMs, and I can say, as a generalization, two things:
1) RAM hack == good idea. G1 seems too sluggish without the extra RAM, especially once I get all my programs going. Not a 3D gamer, so it hasnt shown any down side from my point of view.
2) BFS == bad idea. Don't know if this is just me, but any ROM I've tried that has been based on BFS has been significantly less stable. FCs, hangs. Ive even had the music app just stop entirely on me once or twice (something that I've never had happen on other ROMs, even Hero ones. Maybe one of the Devs will make up a better ROM for this, but as of now... meh.
Just my two cents.
Glad Dwang (really, what's a dwang?...) hasn't made an eclair build yet, or this would be "Oh, look, that thread again!"

Well
In my experience Dwang was the fastest 1.6 I tried, Dwang is his name - David Wang or something like that, But your right sadly he ain't made a eclair build which is a little disappointing as that would of been my option & this question wouldn't be needed...
This Question: What IS the most fastest & stable eclair build out there, something like Dwang 1.7.1 but for eclair.
By this I mean not the fastest on start-up after flashing as all ROMS are fast on start-up, I mean after a week of use with a bucket-load of apps installed & if your using mods (e.g 10MB RAM Hack) add that in your post so I know how to get it as good as I can.
I believe my details of phone I'm using are in my sig but because some don't notice it no matter how bright you make it then here it is - HTC Magic 32B (also know as the Sapphire 32B & MT3G).
Your guys help will be great.
Thanks
BUMP - I'm reviving this old thread because I'm totally overwhelmed with rom shopping.
I need speed, stability, and multitasking.
I use Pandora and Navi at the same time pretty regularly, just to give you an idea.
Original MT3G.

2.2.1 OTA?

I tried the TMUS rom and it was ok, but battery life and speed are nowhere near on par with my oem androoted donut. Is TMUS about as good as it gets?
I'm thinking of trying superE, biffmod and maybe a couple of the other ota remixes next. Maybe even CM5 again.
Try Super E and Chromatic 3.9.1 because Froyo still have buggs.
the bugs are out of froyo for a while there is "stable" imo cyanogen rom and there is the OTA with a little tweakage in the dev section...
Complete eclair 2.21 is awesome very quick very stable havnt got an fc yet ive been using it for about a day im frequently changing roms and i think you can ram hack on complete eclair so it will be amazing anywho good luck
This forum has been blowing up the last few days with roms and toasts new kernel, it's awesome, but also hard to keep up. It seems like most of the 1.6-2.1 roms are pretty incomplete so far, understandably. Just curious as to which non 1.5 roms /kernels are being used as a daily rom and how fast/reliable they have been.
SOOOO many pages on the darchstar threads, I almost posted this in there, but was afraid it would be swallowed up in the huge abyss and be three pages back and mixed in with the 40 other questions currently waiting to be answered on there.
My daily is gbhil's 1.6 Donut rom. My only complaint is no MMS. Other than that, I love it. It's much better than the stock 1.5 rom (other than the MMS issue). I'm also not a big bluetooth user, though. As I understand it, that isn't working on very many - if any - of the 1.6+ ROMs.
It would be nice if maybe they added a "features" and "not working" to each ROM in the sticky. I think that would go a long way to helping people make a good decision about their ROM choice.
I'd like bt and mms but that rom looks pretty nice. Adding what works/doesn't would be key for the wiki. I have to give credit to whoever keeps it updated though, roms are popping out and changing so fast. I feel like I've been living in a cave cuz I still rock gumbo 1.5b, lol, it's been like 2 weeks.
Most of the ROM's have a what works/what doesn't on the first page of the ROM thread. They haven't all kept them as updated as I would like either, but they're there
can't wait to get a working 2.1 rom.. I'm so sick of the laggy 1.5
As far as a stable and fast 1.5 ROM, try Fresh 1.1 with the addition of gbhil's Gumbo Kernel installed. It's blazing fast, and has good battery life. For 2.1, there is really only one 2.1 right now. I'm using it, and so far I haven't had any problems.

Try the Gumbo 1.5c Bare ROM. It seems to be the fastest of the 1.5s.

Dumb question but how do u install kernels???
Ive been running 1.10.3 SuperD but I just recently flashed CSDIV4 and it feels alot more smooth and faster. What do you guys think feels faster?
I find csdi faster, but it doens't have the eclair bits (the difference in speed is so quite insignificant to me, so I stuck with superd for the eclair). so if you can live without that, choose csdi.
Yeah csdiv feels so much more smooth than superd for some reason.
between csdi and superD
I go for SuperD
less buggy
speed is near CSDI
plus eclair bits
SuperD > CSDI
Already had both roms in use. But i prefer ZX Donut Build atm - it's even faster...

Hmm i ran a benchmark of 2.2 while running this. I was running 2.3 on Csdiv4. And Csdi felt alot more stable too.

No it wasn't just starting up. I rebooted it couple times before even trying.
Right now im running SuperEcliare3.0 So far its alot faster than any other rom i ran. not as smooth as Csdiv4 though.
There's something faster then SuperD!?

Csdiv4 is so far the most stable and smoothest rom ive flashed.
SuperEclaire 3.0 Is extremely fast but its a bit unstable and it doesn't have the same smooth feeling as Csdiv4.
Trust me SuperD cant touch Csdiv4... atleast to me.
SupeD for life , no matter what anyone says.... its the fastest, cleanest, less buggiest and the list goes on.......
Install Super D and experience the best Donut rom on the face of the planet!
Super D is the truth if your looking for a stable but plain Rom.
Sent from my Plain Biff Dream using XDA App
no offense but i have been trying all flavors of superD, and the fastest superD
i have used was 1.11.1 and the best 3d game donut rom was 1.9.3 WG
best donut rom was CSDIV4 Remix (in day 2 day use)
snappy
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...

reading responses here will only give you a watered down version of the actuals rom thread.
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
Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
+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.
buuut im giving up all the trackball dreams with the evo. goodbye, trackball...my dearest. trackball...

LOL i just dont see how you deem a rom unusable because of the track ball....are you a coal miner? are you always in the dark?
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!
