I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.
do you know any good ones?

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.
Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?
lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.
which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.
lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.
I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

Yep, they banned me over something dumb, and i didnt feel like fighting them, plus since i have a Hero now they are useless.
can someone tell me how to make roms and stuff like that for the hero maybe a guide or video on it? thanks

Yep! I made a deal with my wife that I wouldn't spend all my time hacking a phone with Android on it (I know, I'm going to hell for that lie).

Good to know! I'll check it out. I've got quite a bit of catching up to do. Looking forward to your ROM as well.

LOL! I sort-of banned myself. The Hero forum there is pretty lame. I still have friends there and at EDTP but I don't spend much time there anymore.
Alright!
What's Your opinion,which is more usable,etc...
You need to try them out for yourself. Which one YOU like better is the ultimate choice for you.

But I like DamageControl personally. I just have a nand of my gutted MNS rom for a quick switch.
I was using DamageControl for awhile but I have to go with DarchLegend because the webkit works properly with apps that use webview.

is there such a thing as a quick switch? Do you have to wipe everything to try another one?

I just boot to recovery and recover that image I have of another rom with MNS.. takes like 5 miuntes all together. The image I have is unlinked to any google account and is stripped of a lot, just meant for MNS and wireless tether.
i never knew how to get the latest version for the stock of android hehe
I'm running (and loving) DamageControl but I think I'd like to see Darch's Legend version. The only thing is, I'm really not crazy about the idea of wiping all my settings again.

If you are using apps2sd then you might be able to do a quick switch. Make a nandroid backup and that will let you go back if you don't like the new ROM. The apps2sd will mean all your apps are still there.
However, sometimes you even have to wipe the apps off depending witch ROMs you are switching. If you get an app called Titanium Backup then you backup your apps and data. However, the free version makes re-installing a little bit of a longer process but it isn't bad.

Yes, that is a big selling point for me too. It seems Damage hasn't been active for several days. I'm sure he has a life and hopefully the ROM is still alive! I switched to DarchLegend for the webkit apps working right, Friendstream is cool too.

backup using Titanium backup, or mybackup Pro.
also just make a nandroid backup incase it goes bad and you want to go back to a stable setup.

and also it saves your settings going from 2.1-2.1 so all your settings should be how you set them before <3 hooray for convenience!
and from my exp. (ive used both) i would say damage is a bit faster, but im going with darch because you will love the way it looks, has the glossy blackish look rather than just straight up stock. but althought i am experiencing a bit of lag, it will only be a matter of time before darch comes out with a fast enough rom and i can live with the tiny bit of lag that it does have, and i absolutely hate lag. but overall i chose darch, but i do appreciate the work of all you amazing dev's <3
so Darch vs flipz 2.02b?
we should make a new thread and have a poll with these main 2.1 builds....
Chad
I'm back on Damage, DarchLegend went a little insane for me, four times over, no idea what went wrong, when I finally got it up and running once I got my first phonecall the ROM basically fell apart, force closes, couldnt answer calls, everything lagged. Luckily Damage was backed up so I just went back and re situated.

The rom is still alive! I just proposed and am on vacation. I will have a rom out soon with a fixed webkit!
Neither....
It depends on you. Darch rom is based off the HTC Legend rom. which gives you some new features that roms based off of the Eris or just 2.1 its self dont have.
I use darch rom for a daily use.. Looks like v4.1 fixes all my problems not as much lag as before..
DamageControl
I think DamageControl is pretty fast. Im yet to test DarchLegend.
I am wondering if anyone else is having a problem with RegawMOD not going to settings? It says something like, "link has been broken"?

As soon as i flashed the latest(old now) regaw, i got the rebootloop while plugged in deal. I just flashed back to my previous rom. I would rather not post and make devs look bad. Those are not my intentions, and judging by the numbers i figured it was most likely just me. But the whole popular rom thing is kind of starting to remind me of my iphone consumer theory(everyone else has one, so i want one too). So maybe even if flawwed, since 5000000 other ppl dl it then others who follow the popular vote will most likely feel compelled to follow suit. Dont be a sheep, test for yourself or just mod your own like ive always done as common logic.
I'm sorry to hear you guys are having such trouble with it. I've never heard of anyone not being able to get into the settings menu
Regaw is also my favorite because of it's combination of being super responsive and very stable. I've assembled a rom mod based on regawmod for my hero owning friends and family, I'll just say it's stable enough I have my girl running it although there's no reason it should run any different than RM2.1. If you guys want to give it a try shoot me a pm.
Wish I could be more help, I've just had very little trouble with RegawMOD.
regaw is my favorite because of the stability(over other roms), how heavily themed it is, and the direct support i get from the dev himself.
a fresh wipe and reflash has always fixed any issue ive ever had. but ill wait until next release. treve is emerging with some pretty promising things too.

Treve's work lately is amazing, he's a genius
I'm running (not the latest one) one of his a2sd apps w/ gui. Awesome!
Well I find it amazing.. I just need to get to my settings lol. xD Maybe I need to get a older version from someone. IDK.
Also I did a fresh wipe and even re downloaded it. no workie. Ill talk to regaw, He's so cool with things like this.

Hey guys, didn't see this yesterday. I haven't had any troubles with the settings menu either... could I get a logcat of an attempt?
Been running regaw since it was released... No issues at all, loving it and I highly doubt I will switch. Fresh had more bugs than regaw... I have literally found 0 bugs on regaw and im loving it.
Ive noticed everyone is removing cityid from the leaked roms. I might be the only person in the world that wants it. can someone point me where to get this and how to install it?

everyone is pulling it because it's a paid app after a certain amount of time (I think 1.99 after 15 days). there's a free app around here that does the same thing.
it's called com.threadabort.cityid.apk or something like that

Found it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6704842&postcount=4 Thanks for the name. I was curious as to whether there was a good alternative to paying.
Just wanted to give a shout out to the dev team that worked on this ROM. This is by far the best one i've used.
Good looking out team.

this is a great rom - but i eventually switched to darky, and i personally found it snappier. What about this particular ROM do you really like?
im trying this one and sharkeys this weekend see which one works the best for me i want to see if the phone conversation recorder works with my phone.
Any way you could put up a video?

Agreed, I love this ROM. Quick, no hiccups, great look and feel, comes with great features just overall very good development job on this ROM. I didn't have to do really anything to it, it came pretty much perfect
I second the shoutout to the Dev team for this one
Edit: Don't like the cap on the Overclock feature but can understand why it was put in place. Speacking of that does anyone know the consistent clock speed the vibrant can handle without damaging the hardware?
