This question has been in my mind for a while. Is it worth it to flash a Hero rom ? I am currently running cyanogen 4.0.1, wireless tethering is working, Overclock is working as well as Term. It is also wicked fast.
My SPL is .00006 so from my understanding a "Perfect" SPL, although I have root. Maybe am reading the post dates wrong but I thought this would not work. The method I used was 1 click root.
I understand there are some issues with Hero on a MT3G but if i have root and a partitioned (FAT32/EXT3/SWAP) Class 6 SD, would you use a Hero? My personal feeling is wait tell the Official release comes out for the 32A so there maybe a bit more to work with.
I would appreciate any insight to this. Thank you for all your hard work this community is awesome.
My opinion is Hero roms are still too slow for the MyTouch. I have one of Cyanogen's roms and love it. Many thanks to Cyanogen and those that assisted. I have flashed about four or five Hero roms and they are realy nice to look at, and I can apreciate all the work it took for someone to get them to even run on the device, but still too slow for me. Just my two cents.
My thoughts
Ya that was my gut feeling, I am going to stick with this as "if ain't broke don't fix it" I may however flash my G1, just to see how it looks
I agree with donepate, most hero roms are pretty sluggish and a lot of roms have trouble with the MT3G. Upon wake up the graphics turn to poo and get pixelated and blurry. But this is only on some MT3g's, and on most roms. The only hero rom that has worked for me is Fatal1ty's hero rom, but It was too slow for me, I was spoiled by Cyanogen's roms speed. If I were you, I would stick with CyanogenMod 4.0.1 and just download a Hero theme. I highly recommend Ted's hero theme. Looks just like the Hero but without its functionality and there's no Sense UI.
Try one
I would suggest trying it and deciding for yourself.
Some people have the absolute opposite experience then what is being mentioned in this thread.
I for instance, am running the TF3D V3 ROM by Drizzy (Not even the newest ROM out there by any means) with a 32MB Swap (as auto partitioned with the RAv1.2.1 Recovery) all on a Class 4 SD. And find the speed no slower by any means.
The only change I have made is to reverse Apps2SD (IMO Apps2SD is not necessary on MT3G)
I am completely satisfied, have no graphical glitches, I do get the TouchUI Loading once when I boot, and maybe once every 2 days if I don't reboot.
The improvements that the Hero ROMS bring to the user experience of the device out ways the quite small
So I say, make a nandroid backup and "Try it out" it just might be "worth it"
I just installed Hero
I used Qteknology HTC HERO PORT from [1.79.482.3] 32b and you are right, the usability is worth the sometimes lag. I have used the overclock app and disabled the old school clock widget and performance is decent. I may try some others but so far so good
Edit: Why this is not released on T-Mobile is beyond me, if they want a truly customizable UI, Hero is that. I upgraded from my G1 which is still working great to a MT3G and to be honest it felt like a windows service pack. I had to bite my pride and tell my wife I love so she could have my G1 and I could not get shot.
My other feeling is that when Hero is released for the non-Google branded phones, these awesome dev's will have much more to work with and speed just may increase. I do not know as all i can dev is a few nasty ass skins
Beautiful!
I just loaded the ROM you suggested and it is night and day. Everting works and more importantly, its fast Thank you for the heads up. I think we have a keeper.
I'm running Hero on my G1 and I love it but I'm waiting till Oct when HTC releases some legit new hero for Magics before I toss it on my MyTouch.
Yeah I tried Haykuro/Dizzy Hero and it gave me BSOD (Blur Screen of Death) but evil hero 1.9 has been running smooth for me with 96mb swap.
I used to hate putting hero roms in my G1 cause of the lag but since then there has been a mass improvement in speed... granted its no Cyanogen but definitely worth taking a look at as it can be used in a daily basis now

Glad it worked out for you!
No and yes , I am disappointed with the Hero Roms, but impressed with the developement of them. They are not up to par yet, but soon. The one touch root is very impressive, no more of the old skool style.
I am looking for the orginal mytouch ROM and SPL to put back on, can anyone direct where i can find them?

No as I was disappointed with Hero Roms that claim to be stable and fast... I see it requires the spl that I already have...But its for a 32a? i have the 32b.
The problem is I want to be able to use my jawbone for BT, I bought and now want to use it...

Also what ext format did you use for evil heros rom? I may try that
Well I gave Up...
After many Hero ROM's I just reverted my Touch back to factory and returned and bought a hero. Not as fun I know, but a lot easier I also bought a touch pro 2 and we will see which one I like better. Thanks for the help but on to another sub-forum.

I was pretty at the state that you were a couple of hours ago but I have say that this Evil Hero is actually decent even with my class 2 memory card. I am happy at the moment, I like it
download at my folder on andrpid.grdlock.com here ITS CALLED SPRINT2.ZIP
Its a straight port of the sprint rom with lwps working with sense
thanks MSSMISON from the htc vogue forums for getting lwp working with sense
its not perfect but its almost as good as its going to get until we can overclock
nice
LWP only work on the sprint heroc leak? Not on normal Eris roms?
gallery3d should work as well dont think i included it though

This ROM has potential! If this was cleaned up (removed sptint crap and bloat apps) and things from the legend rom were added like friend stream it would be sweet!
I have been waiting for a rom with the 6 signal bars. Also if you change the Animation setting under Sound & Display to full animation, you get the animations in sense like on the default home app in 2.1... pretty sweet I may say!
Thank you for porting this

Yeah this was just proof of concept last night when i posted it i plan on cleaning it up today.
Hey, there is a program in this ROM called "Device Self Service", does anyone know what it does? I seems to do something with the network? Strange thing is, if I have a few bars, it seems to refresh and almost give me better signal! Whatever it does it seems to help, this should be kept in this rom!

Oh and either it has to be stripped down big time, or unpacked to sd on installation, then copied over to ext partition, and symlinked, for g1 users...
mytouch 3g users will be able to flash this (hopefully) anytime soon. but they will need apps2sd nethertheless
(edit: lol... there are like a dozen of archieves in it... wanna mock me?
Can anybody try to unpack it properly, and send me the unpacked files. (one time ziped, maybe)

Or you can use firerats cache hack to free up 30mb on /cache supporting these larger roms, so you wouldn't have to strip it down thatt much lol

That's very large and it has new features that haven't been seen just yet, I'm considering this phone if it comes out before august and has good specs. I keep hearing it will have more than 600mhz cpu and maybe 384+MB Ram...

easy fit an an mt3g without a2sd
/system 90mb

170mb,,
might have stick some on data
going to be easier to fit on NoneDanger than Danger
even a g1 can probably fit most, if not all the system files onto the internal memory, user apps and dalvik-cache would defiantly need to be a2sd
I might have a look when I'm done with what I'm doing

I think this phone maybe a good phone... And T-Mobile made a good decision to not include live wallpapers because Sense + Livewallpapers = Tremendous lag... If the phone comes out like the hardware and software described i am certainly buying it

Live wallpapers isn't that good. Just waste battery and makes the system slower but it is good eye candy and great to show off the phone. The phone has a decent amount of RAM (512 mb) so once this phone gets rooted someone can enable LW.

Live wallpaper is not available on 2.1 with Sense UI which the MyTouch Slide seems to be running... not T-Mobile's fault.
Plus like UberMario said, it's not all that good and kills your bat life even on the Nexus One.
When do yall think we will have a working port of froyo?
I just got back into the android game. ive been using an HD2 which is beautiful, but winmo poses too many problems for my liking. So im back on with the slide.
sorry i felt the explaination lol
anyway ne info about froyo would be greatly accepted
Supposedly the slide (and full mytouch line) is getting Froyo fairly soon... I just wish I knew when >.>
but itll have that bloatation of sense in it! no good v.v

Well it will bloat the system but A2SD will help with the data. Plus, JIT will help with speed and a2sd will allow you pick and choose which apks to store on data or sdcard unlike the usual custom rom scripts...
Yea thats awesome, was reading this on engadget somewhere n new orleans just got hspa+!!
i really cant wait till some good speedy roms come out here.
All those screamin fast g1 roms need to b put on here

Well, most of the live wallpapers are running perfectly. I personally leave it on Acquarium Live Wallpaper. I believe Youtube has some videos on that. I have experienced no slowdowns on that so any Youtube video should demonstrate the speediness. The Super Mario Live Wallpaper does have slowdowns, though, even when I turn off "Low Priority" to give more CPUs to Mario Live Wallpaper; the rest of the phone still seems pretty snappy, though, even though the Live Wallpaper has slowdowns.
ROOT??

No, the HTC Desire comes with live wallpapers in their Sense UI while certain mid-level phones like HTC Aria, Droid Eris, don't have live wallpapers in our Sense UI, which is why we have to root our phones to replace our Sense UI with one that includes live wallpapers. I'm not sure why they do this. But phones like ours are typically free while the HTC Desire is obviously not free, so that's probably just one way that the carriers are artificially separating these phones.

I just upgraded from the G1 to the desire and although it can get a bit jumpy in parts, the G1 handled Cyanogens 5.0.7 very well...
