i just got the HTC Hero for sprint last week, its already rooted
im wondering what cool things i can do with it, and if it will be getting froyo officially or am i going to have to wait for the AMAZING GODS of XDA to port it over ?
All I can say is read, read and read some more. You'll learn more that way. Start with the sticky at the top that says guides, tutorials, and Q&A. You most definitely want to search prior to asking any question because more than likely its been answered. Welcome and congrats on getting the Hero.
froyo will not come officially but the devs are actively working on it, I'd say the froyo roms right now are 80% ish, you can now overclock, and I recommend darchdroid 2. 7

Right now, there IS a froyo rom available. The only big things not working are GPS and Camera.
Really now....that's a problem though I'm a high driver with no camera, so I use my camera a lot, and I usually forget how to get back from where I started, so that could be an issue

Try regawMOD, and then flash the darch kernal for honeybun. Just grab setCPU or the overclock widget from the market after that.
The first boot will take some time. Also I use it because I really like sense.

DarchDroid is where it's at.
Just curious and wondering what is the best sense rom in terms of batter life?

I have virtuous running on one of the phones in the house, it runs great.
Lol just try the roms for yourself my friend and see which one you like

I could do that.. but id like to hear what the general public says before adventuring into the world of sense roms. I'm running virtuous Rom right now. It's okay. Seems little laggy. Should be faster on the g2 then the evo which i have in front of me as we speak. Id like to say the G2 is much faster than the evo.

Are you using the standard or advanced kernel, and if the latter what are you OC'ing your phone to? I'm using the standard kernel, and my phone doesn't seem laggy at all. There are the occasional moments of slowness, but nothing to the point where I would consider it troublesome to me.

I'm using the advanced kernel, overclocked to 1.0ghz. I like the TeamVillian Sense rom, cant stand the bugy landscape mode..
Does anyone know of a Sense-based ROM which has the Bluetooth A2DP bitpool size problem fixed?
Andre
Virtuous ROM 1.0.1 with Standard Kernel @ 1GHz for me. No lag what-so-ever and working great! lovin' it
The best Sense ROM is the one that uninstalls itself and loads CM7 or some AOSP variant
I'm using gingersense 2.3, so far so good

Id wait a few days as now Sense and Gingerbread work together so there are going to be alot of releases based on that.
does anyone know if there is word of a stock update to Gingerbread 2.3 for the Desire Z. and if there are going to be roms made with Sense and Gbread, will they be available in ROM Manager. I am very interested in this GingerSense. where is it available.
Thanks.

HTC said that the Desire family of devices would be getting an official update to v2.3 in June or July.
which guys do you use and WHY?
i use Sense roms mainly for 1 reason...AUTO-FOCUS on VIDEO RECORDING...
i tried MIUI but uninstalled
tried CYANOGEN but eventually went back to SENSE roms.
as off 4/30 i am using MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood v1.2 + WiFi Calling/ and i must say, i am kinda feeling the overall performance and ui. Might stick to this for a while.
Using CM7 because I've heard it's the quickest and with the best battery life. Never tried Sense outside of store demo's; while pretty I've heard it has lower battery life.
Never tried MIUI, though it looks interesting.
Which miui did you flash? The newer versions have wonderful ui, in my opinion xD ive never really stuck with sense just because there isn't much choice as far as customization goes. Ive run it for a few months though, and my battery life stayed the constant 12 hour drain cycle. Cyanogen is the g2's bread and butter, but UDroid is a good competitor for 2.3.3. Im using the sensation rom that rmk just ported. Just glitchy enough to be usable
It kinda depends on what you want in a rom. The best way to know what to flash is to try it out for yourself.

Which miui rom are u using?
im currently using MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood v1.2 + WiFi Calling
but found that alarm clock would force close and alot of other apps would force close.
never tried miui, but have tried a sense rom, and immediately went back to CM7. even with CM problems at times, it has been the best overall. I did not like sense at all. Sense tho does have some nice widgets and i would like to have some of them on CM7. beyond that, ill stick with CM7, my phone only started acting out when i changed from CM to other roms so ill be staying with CM7 period. my phone had no problems until i changed to another rom. so i guess im more scared to try other roms now lol
Am for MIUI all the way... It's just a personal like thing you know.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA Premium App
MIUI is kinda laggy, i love the newly leaked rom fro tmobile, but somehow it won't recognize my router so i can't use wifi at home. so at this moment i will stick with cm7
Well, i like Sense rom as it link my FB,Twitter & contact with great Clock/Weather/Friendstream Widget. It's free (unlike Launcher Pro that u need to pay). once got the OC kernel, my Desire Z is superb!
Cyanogen doesnt have autofocus on picture/video?
I strangely doubt that and even if it doesnt, there is problably a alternative.

Don't ever use another miui that isn't from ganii. His rom's are always more stable for some reason. He just released his version of .29, you might wanna use that instead.

I say cm7 is the best. But it all comes down to what u like personally. My girl has virtuous and thats a hell of a good rom too. I might try the new miui soon.

agreed... shouldn't really hate on other devs miui's. they both work great and ive had no issues with either.. i use both depending on what i feel like updating to..
im currently running ganii 4.22.. i don't wanna update and have no reason to latest build of miui.. change log doesn't interest me, and i don't wanna have my theme uncompatable or lose trackpad wake.
and miui has never lagged for me, and shown better battery life than cm7, cm7 kinda gets "boring" after a while.. just personal opinion thou.. i like it, but i like the customization of miui better. plus its alot easier to change themes.
idc for sense.. i havent used it for a while, but i always had some lag issues although im sure they are fixed now, and customization was minimal.. besides there sense layouts..
umm I'm on UD ROM 3.3.0 and i can truly say im pleased with my G2 at the moment, but I've always wanted to try a Miui Rom, but i don't know where to find it? can anyone provide some links and tuts?

MiUI Rom
Please check out that link!!
After trying numerous versions of all three, I usually stick with a custom version of CM7 or Stock GB roms. MIUI, while pretty, just doesn't do it for me. I don't like the layout. Sense is nice, but once again, I don't like how it is setup.
Ever since I flashed OsiMood MIUI, I've never looked back. I've tried CM, Ultimate Droid and MIUI and the latter just has everything that I want in my phone. I've only tried Sense on somebody elses phone but didn't like it one bit.
MIUI is not only visually stimulating, but also has a great UI and is very easy to theme. Everything about it is just great and I would recommend it before any other ROM.

Ever since I tried MIUI OsiMood 1.06.03 I never seen anything so good. I am comfortable with the iPhone UI and the fast blazing feel. However the battery life is a little off, so you might need to download "JuiceDefender" but everything else the keep improving so no need to worry, the battery life gets better and better every update. You guys should give it a spin. This rom is amazing!!!

Oxygen ROM on the Nexus-S is AWESOME. It is a pure vanilla stock Android style ROM, no bloatware, no carrier UI, but just the way Google meant Android to be. And it is crazy fast and smooth, with great battery life, can only imagine the Galaxy S2 would be out of this world with this ROM.
yes it feels blazing fast '
battery also seems batter lets see hoz it.

Well, look at MIUI-Galnet, they HAD to move away from XDA because of their donation schemes (Something to do with new devices) I think with Oxygen & DevNull it's just an agreement with the CM7 team since Oxygen is the same just a different framework. Not sure really.
But, all in all, I prefer AOSP always have, it's what I miss about my Nexus S & One basicalle

Not entirely true, the reasons Adamg moved away from XDA were the lack of moderation here and the 'dumb' questions being posted here. Those are also the reasons most devs move away here...

i totally agree! but my "problem" is, the SGS2 is just so freakin fast, i never had any speed issues on the stock rom and battery life isnt very different.... i WANT to use oxygen, but with this phone i would just get less features (no ukw-radio e.g.) :-/
(and if i dont want some crap/bloatware, i just remove/freeze it with titanium)
totally different story on other phones, Oxygen on my Desire was a total game-changer, just unbelievable what a difference it was compared to the stock htc rom!

Yes, this is the funny thing that I ended up using a Samsung ROM (Cognition) after trying all the other options simply because it is fast as well, but has all the extra features (most importantly - for me - the wide video format support and the hw accelerated browser). It seems that Samsung is the first manufacturer that finally starts to get the hang of cooking a functional and fast ROM .
I am using this rom and I think it is simple, fast, good on battery life. I will keep it for a while. Thanks to Adam and the poster.

I wonder... Is there a built-in RTL text support in this ROM?
waiting for bluetooth to work. oxygen was (IMO), the best rom for my desire but i use bluetooth daily
Yeah, Adam G is in my opinion one of the best chefs out here. He just makes roms that work with almost no bugs.
+1 to AdamG and thalamus for their great work! Been using Oxygen on my desire for more than 8 months, not I have it on my s2 as well

ready to give it a go, need some time to be able to wipe all and set everything up from scratch. probably next week at this point
quick Q to those who have installed it - what toggles are available in the drop down menu?

Its customizable like CM7. You choose which ones are up there, their order, and color.

I'm sitting here with fresh d/l's of 4 ROMS, newest MIUI, Blazing ROMs Fusion 4.0 & ICS AOSP and Prime XL 3D.....

Well you're gona need 2 coins...do it tournament style...or flip 1 coin 4 times.
We dont need no stinkin coin flippin.. Flash all 4 and add 1 more for a total of 5 on the fly. Have a 32gb sd with 3GB left over running all 5 as listed in my sig below
I just said this. I feel like I just got this phone I am on it so much right now. I currently have nands of 3 different roms, all of which are great! I'm also in the process of putting a 4 Rom on to give a go. Sorry but for the Evo being the flagship "super" phone (my words lol) and being as old as it is I'm in no hurry to "upgrade".
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind a native 3.0-3.5 Sense or that nexus with 4.0 and a dual processor but Grandaddy Evo is still holding it's own with all of it. And honestly I am really excited to see 4.0 on here, Devs are making me pretty optimistic that Google trimmed the fat to work well across all phone types.

This is true, but I know how to make it work.
I REALLY think Blazing AOSP is the way to go. I loved Fusion, but I see people still not getting all their VM and calls, but that Prim ROM is looking totally solid, and MIUI is a bona fide' daily.
I'll end up flashing at least 3 of them over the next few days, I'm sure.
I have Miui, Classic, Newt's 3.5 and team Blaze's ICE Aosp and Deck's on Boot Manager. Much easier and quicker than nandroids.

How is that Ice AOSP?
I don't think the Evo is going anywhere anytime soon. I would still use my HTC Touch if it had Wi-Fi (Foggy resistive screen ftl). They have CM7 for it and it was originally a Windows phone. Sucks that they are moving to LTE for 4G but still.

Haha agreed, I love all the activity in our forums and the wide variety of ROMs. :>
I couldn't care less that HTC has stopped "support" in the forums and whatnot. The only help I've ever needed/received came from good ol' XDA!
