Hey,
I'm coming from JF 1.5 and since he has stopped developing I thought I better go to a new ROM, what do you guys recommend? How stable are the Hero ROMs for every day use?
Thanks
I would go with the latest cyanogen stable mod which is 4.04.1 one I believe, there are too differant threads for expermental and stable. My opinion is that I would not use a hero for daily use, too slow, pretty but some people say they have fast heroes
I would try either cyan or xrom. If you want to try hero I would go with jacxheroski but no matter what size swap you have you will get SOME lag and calls will come in slowly, it is all personal opinion though so you will have to see what fits you best.
I went from JF 1.51, to a Rogers, and then went from that to Cyanogen. I'd go to Cyanogen and stay there. It works well and is very fast.
Cyanogen is where it's at. I'm using his 4.1.1 experimental with no probs, but the stable is most likely safest 4.0.4.
whats a rom? is it like a firmware?
I suggest xRom, Quick, simple, easy to use and fast as hell.

lol
hero roms are fast and stable enough(for some people) however the maintainance and cutbacks such as no bluetooth, dim leds , and not being able to have many apps running are not worth it(for me at least) if you want a good stable rom i would recommend any of cyans stable roms however on weekends i do usually flash to a hero rom to see the progress that has been made
and yes a rom is like a firmware
A rom is a modified build of android based off a stock system with tons of good stuff like superuser and unicorns. The word roms were used back when we were are little kids using windows mobile and it just has stuck with us. I would have suggested xrom but that requires the danger spl but since it was asked what's a rom, I didn't think it was a good idea
Ps.. yes I said unicorns, mine has unicorns, if your's doesn't, then you got ripped off.......I would ask your rom dev for a refund
I finally took the plunge Sunday night, going from JF1.51 to CM4.0.4, and I couldn't be happier. It's like a whole new phone!
I installed the latest CM recovery image manually, then installed CM Update from the market, ran it, let it do its thing, and viola!
What ROM do you use, and why do you use it? What other MODs have you applied to it? For the poll I just chose the ROMs that seem most popular. I'm sorry if the one you used isn't listed, just post it here anyway.
For those that flash a number of ROMs, like me, just choose the one you use most, or the one you "fall back on" when you're done testing other ROMs
And yes, I'm aware of this one, but it's a bit outdated with the ROMs.
Other ROMs commonly used that I didn't list
I'll update this if there are a number of users that use ROMs that I haven't listed (There will be, lol)
List thus far:
SuperFroyo/SuperBler (I still just count these as CM, but hey) - No users in this thread yet, but it's apparently popular
MoDaCo custom release - 1 ex-user so far
Plain ol' rooted stock - 1 user
What about the all famous superFroyo (now called Superbler If I'm not mistaken)
Not that I've every used it but there's much attention for it.
I dno what to vote for yet
I've always used CM but I now I use blayo's to test the data2ext (which isn't really great, yet)
I might go back to CM when CM7 has the fixes for GPS and 3D. But I would love to have flash on CM hopefully someday,...
We'll cross the SuperFroYo bridge when we get to it Anyway, it's basically CM.
I started with Modaco MCR r4, but now changed to B 0.2
It's Sense-based and already has most of the changes I made to the MCR rom (update Gapps, facebook, move busybox in /system, circular battery...). Only thing added is DrRomca's "amibios" bootanimation from Modaco forums
I use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870662
It is a rooted stock rom. I can't complain about it.
BlaY0's B.02
I tried every single ROM in this section, except variations of rooted stock ROMs and this is the first that really feels a good bit faster then others (data2ext enabled).
Other then that CM is very nice of course. Used pretty much every version from Indigo Beam to the latest nightlies until 2.2 got released.
I use CyanogenMod since Azure. Now I have 6.1 and I'm waiting for a fully functional CM 7 experimental build.
I haven't tried other roms, but I follow the updates on the forum. The main reason is that I don't think that roms based on the stock one will be upgraded to Gingerbread, therefore I don't want to change rom knowing that I will be forced to return back to CM.
Big fan of CM but I use BlaY0's now. Waiting for CM7.

CM all the way. Haven't tried BlaY0's rom but seems to be getting positive feedback from users. Won't flash it though, waiting for CM7. Sorry Blay0.
CircleMOD battery with themed notification icons, BiosAnimation bootscreen, remove some system apps. Well thats about it.
Right now I'm using CM 7, because.. well it's Gingerbread Went from BlaYo's B 0.1, and it's pretty good. Actually made me like Sense again.
using CM6.1 atm (couple of days)
but as i am reading more and more, everyone saying that Blay0's b0.7 is showing better performance than cm, but cant say till i try
i am kind a new in android word, i will use cm for a while till i get the guts to install new rom without messing something up
cheers
EDIT: from 26.02.2011 blay0's rom and it rocks
CM from the very beginning (love the tons of features/settings added)...use now CM7 (usually flashing nighties as they came out), snakehult 130DPI LCD screen density, data2ext2 (thanks TGM), CWM3 (not S-Off unfortunately) , Honeybread theme
Have tried many, now on CM7 and B0X time to time.
I need better sd ...
Standard stock rooted rom, but I'm about to test CM7-RC2.
Tried CM6.1 and it has horrid for me, so I switched to blay0's 0.7 ROM and never looked back.
I'll look into CM7 when it's pushed as a stable release. I'm not one for nightly testing.
cyanogenmod7 #8 here
First real custom ROM was CM6.1.
Then got a little bored and tried Blay0 B0.X for awhile.
Now on the first release of CM7.0 and seems stable enough for me!
Only issues I've spotted so far on CM7.0 are the Menu button/Optical pad wake, all else seems sweet
Cm7, I'm loving it

Why do you call me TGM? TheGrammarMan? Or a consistent typo?
I've been using Micromod's v.19 GB ROM for about a month now, however, it's becoming more apparent that it's not very bug free as I use it more. The bugs seem to be increasing, I get more app crashes and weird bugs the more I use it.
I haven't tried a ROM based on the CM7 nightlies yet. Does anyone have a recommendation for any of the Gingerbread custom ROMs?

I've been tempted to move to LeoGingerBread ROM. It's based on AOSP with CM7 filling in the missing parts and is customizable through leoparts. Seems to be a complete package.
So flash another rom and see for yourself..
Micromod is a nice rom but has got a lots of bugs and is not as stable. Now answer to your question - it's really a personal preference, I am using CM7 nightlies since a month, its been improving and updating almost everyday, getting better with each iteration. Again, its a personal preference, but why don't you just try downloading those roms with gingerbread and try them for a few days one by one... may be you will find one which suits your needs.
I find CM7 really slow, compared to some Froyo ROMs (i.e. Enomther). Even LeoGingerbread is slow, as it includes CM7's framework (as of the actual version).

I've been very pleased with Micromod's Gingerbread Custom CM7 Mod. The only issue I have is occasional resets, but it sounds like that's a problem with other CM7 ROMs as well.
BTW, does anyone know if FM radio is working on any of the other CM7 Gingerbread ROMs? That's the main reason I chose Micromod's version over the others.
Using Leo's ROM now. Wait for 0.9.2 and flash (currently there's a bug in Apps2SD). It's a mix of AOSP and CM7.
Didn't encounter any weirdness yet.

I'm agree with you. I've been using MicroMod CM 7 v1.3 for almost a month and it works very well. It's too bad that MM left us for another phone :-(
But, thanks for your great effort MicroMod :-D
I personally like Geo's GRH55 build. Fairly stock, but it's speedy and has trackball awake - the only killer feature I needed.
[ROM] Gingerbread (GRH55), Deodexed, rooted, busybox, battery%, TB alert/wake 2/11/11
On the downside, HQ Youtube is not working on it, but it appears everything else is so far.
Sorry for posting this, I've used the search function but I can't really find any current threads about this. My friend has this phone and its been really glitchy and it's been really bothering me. I want to put a custom rom on her phone, but I have no experience with any of the htc hero roms. Which one out there is the quickest but still relatively stable? She's got the sprint cdma htc hero. Since she is not too great with learning new things, a sense rom would probably be best, but she could probably get used to aosp too. Thanks for your input.
-_- i'd suggest cm7 imo, using the latest nightly #202 and jaybobs kernel v10
or kush's rom look in the developement thread.

Hi,
Ur best bet for a sense ROM would be liquid sense with a few tweaks like jaybobs kernel and Juwes optimization tweak and all that can be found towards the end of the forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856099
But if u want a newer non sense stable ROM .... I'd recommend Hero Deck. All the kinks are gone from the start.

Just make sure to make a lot of time to read the threads to fix any issues that u have.
A decent more commercial ROM is:
Cyanogen.com

I'd recommend CM6. Runs really fast and is really stable. Other than that, or if you're looking for a Gingerbread based build, go for Deck/aosp.
I'd go jay bobs. Just updated today and its wicked
can we get a list of FULLY working stable roms together?
probably gonna be GB only roms but thats ok.. ive been struggling to find a single STABLE rom even CM7 "stable" keeps restarting..

I use Cyangenmod 7.2 downloaded from the cyanogenmod website. I use it everyday and works perfectly
CM7 is the most stable and it is still being developed, albeit at a very slow pace (check their website for nightlies). All the ICS roms are still in testing and are good enough for daily use so long as you can deal with some minor bugs here and there. I'm using Evervolv ICS and it's good enough for me, though CM7 is noticably faster.
Evervolv ICS (last not official build with some new commits) is the most stable rom for me!
I prefer JB 4.1.1 evervolv @reider123
