Im using Fresh 1.0 as of right now, I like it alot. Just wondering if theres anything out that would make my phone even smoother.
fastest would be IMO the AOSP 1.6, then the AOSP Eclair, then the 2.1 Sense Eclair, then modacco or fresh (cant really tell speed differnece between the two)
keep in my that these are the fastest imo not the most stable
For speed with full functionality, i would say the Fresh 1.0 with sense disabled. Faster but still very useful is the AOSP 1.6 with GoogleBits installed. The camera and sensors work, and overall it is a pretty complete build. There is no BT or speaker phone (among other things).
The fastest, MOST COMPLETE rom would have to be Fresh 1.0 imo. It flies.
I try Fresh, 2.1 and Modaco UN 1.3.. and from my experience I liked 2.1 the best is the fastest. but since its still missing accelerometer, I'm currently running UN Modaco 1.3 in my opinion is way faster. I installed it with full Wipe on the phone and its just flying.
I don't go for the NON SENSE Rom because that beats the purpose of having a HTC Hero, I mean if you don't want SENSE then in my opinion why not get a Samsung Moment?
And that's what i think about it..
I just flashed to fresh 1.1 from un 1.3 and am loving it. no FC as of yet and just seems really smooth.
Nice n Quik
so far i am using the Fresh 1.1 and its woerkin beautifully..no FC's or anything...good rom. Just waiting on Fresh's 2.1 Eclair
It might be trivial for me to point this out, but Fresh is the name of the rom not the team/person creating it. I believe it is maintained by flipzmode/freshlyill and they do outstanding work.
I've been beta testing AOSP 1.6 & love the snappiness. Toss the Googlebits on top of that & you have a ball rolling. Sure it has it's minor quirks, but it IS a Dev-ROM....
im running the "cSrOm 2.1.7" it uses 2.1 firmware, with a custom darchstar kernel oc to 768mhz, it has a linpack score of 3.266, so far very stable and very smooth and fast for me, if anyone has faster roms please be more specific, i like specs, numbers, opinions, thank you

Holy thread-resurrected-from-the-dead, batman!
CM6 with Deca's CFS kernel + LauncherPro for me.
CM6 and my theme
How do I tell what rom I am using? I just rooted my phone using the instructions found on these forums. Does that mean I have the stock rom?
I have tried cm6 but have had issues with the radio.

A rom is cm6, or Fresh 2.4, if you went back to stock sprint software than you have stock rom.
I knew what ROMS are, I just don't know what ROM i am using. It looks pretty much exactly like the stock HTC rom.

Sounds like Fresh 2.4.
Go to settings and cluck about phone down at the bottom. You should find what rom your using under the software setting I believe.

so what are the top roms around here for the evo? i just rooted my evo and looking for some sick roms. i have the Kings UNleashed Ultra R2 installed now and its pretty good but im sure better ones are out there!
All you will ever need to try in the future is MIUI or Cyanogenmod. Every sense based ROM is the same.

Nice troll....
Seriously, MIUI and Cyanogen are both good roms, but very different graphically.
As for a AOSP rom I prefer Ultimate Droid. http://www.udrom.com/forum/
All Sense roms are NOT created equal...
IMO Myn's Warm2.2 rom is the best, most stable, fastest Sense rom for the EVO
Myn's WarmZ is also a nice rom. Caulkin's EViO rom series is also very, very good.
But those are just my opinions...I've tried a lot, but certainly not all the available roms out there. YMMV.
You'll also want a nice kernel as well. IMO, the SBC series of kernels are brilliant.
Savaged-Zen is a great group doing a lot with kernels that improve performance and battery life.
Good luck, have fun

Don't listen to him at the top...try all the roms on the first few pages and pick what you like top sense are mik, ava, and warmz and a few others, asop would be miui and cynagonen, and to add, every Rom is the same just themes different with or without sense, the actual differences are how the roms are made what the dev put into it and how he zip aligned the apks there are so many different things you can do, then factor in kernels lol, so no sir your wrong

Wow, how many threads do we need on this??
I switch about 3 times a day waiting for stable gingerbread sense
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Cyanogen gingerbread or MIUI gingerbread what is better
Both are just ports on the X10. Try it out to see which one you like.
These threads are dumb it's completely subjective
try it out, they are both good!
but if you want a stable and very good rom, so try also BlueSpark
I use this rome since two or 3 months and i had never problems with that rom.
sadly, it is 2.1 and not 2.2 or 2.3
That's like asking what's better - strawberries or apples. It's what you prefer.
Personally I like Cyanogen the best. Mainly because I can't stand iPhone so I don't like the iPhone look and feeling of MIUI - as I have experienced it.
At the moment I am running Wolfbreak's Cyanogen 2.2 ROM and my phone have never been better - both performance and battery wise.
So try them out!

you can tweak miui so it looks nothing like iphone.
The way I have mine set up it looks nothing like ios. For example. try the hive theme and set the menus to grid instead of list.
I wasn't aware of that. So thank you for that advice
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes, I use MiUi, but it doesn't even look remotely like an iPhone. You can download the icons "Android 2.3", download your launcher of choice, and there you go! Sure th Menus are MiUi, but I like it. To each is his own.

Can't say better!
I do prefer MIUI but CM is also so great.
I think they are the best roms for our X10.
:/ just go with cyanogenMod 2.2 stable and all working.. all the gingerbread roms has no camera yet... some even lags and reboot all the time...
Cyanogen ROM with 2.2 froyo is cool !!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Agree, cm 2.2 is current the most stable, speedy ROM for x10. Until SE Q3 release stock version of gingerbread, will be very samliar to ARC.

Cm6.1.2. Xtremes is my fav.
2.2 froyo.
I have got every thing ruining smooth.
No fc's ever.
Camera works great.
Love the music player.
Wicked dialer and in call.
Skinned to the nines.
I don't see a need for gingerbread.
(the tv turning off close is cool)
Not until the upgrade.
I agree that miui looks a little to iphone.
There are lots of themes for miui.
But I don't know how well they work.

I Prefer MIUI. Give both a try! can't go wrong with that.
currently i'm using MIUI, i was using CM before but i wanted a change from the Android layout, plus, imo, stock rom looks better than CM} but it's not all about looks and after trying CM, i switched to MIUI
EDIT: got it working finally, had to kill the process and reboot the phone
cyanogenmod doesnot support xperia x10 anymore ?
I cant see the phone in the list..
what to do ?
thanks in advance

Sure, I have tried some 2.3.3, 2.3.4 (I don't want to name them...) but only 2.2.1 can work perfectly.
I use a CM6 based rom with a personnal look.
I prefer LancherPro, all others (ADW, Zeam, MiUI,...) have not a circular dock where you can put a lot of shortcuts.
right now im running the new unity rom by evil d and today i was taking a look at the new synergy rom. what are the pros and cons of each rom? i know rom preference is subjective but i just wanted to get some outside opinions

VU is a complete Sense 3.0 ROM while Synergy is just a Sense 2.1 ROM with 3.0 bits like lockscreen, weather and etc.
Personally stick with Unity. It's the newest version and I don't like the home screen of Sense 2.1 anymore. Icons look huge compared to VU and the graphics and some color schemes are old in Synergy.
Although I would say Synergy is a tad bit faster, but it's not that noticeable.
i see.. alright then. well ill keep my eye on it to see if it develops into something more interesting then.
Here is my opinion....unity is an overall much more complete ROM while I like what the synergy group did with screen transitions (they are extremely fluent and fast) the unity ROM is extremely SMOOTH and near flawless. I scored 2987 quadrant with virtuous unity overclocked to 1708mhz m-deejays kernel but only managed 1884 on quadrant with the synergy ROM overclocked to 1804mhz w faux's 0.0.7CFS kernel....

well it seems i should just be sticking to unity then haha. one more question. can someone tell me (in the simplest way possible please lol) how to configure the oc daemon thing? is it really worth it? i was under the impression that overclocking your phone for too long would be harmful to the battery. is it the same case with this method?
I'm really loving Royal Panache. It's a great Sense 2.1 ROM ported from the Canadian version of the MyTouch4G. The kernel is great and battery life is unbelievable.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The synergy is a quicker rom but some if the sense widgets are a little off. Love the speed of synergy but imho vf overclocked is as speedy and more stable than synergy. Bottom line, vu would be the best choice for a sense 3.0 rom

go to /system/etc/virtuous_oc/ using root explorer. make sure you mount r/w. then edit the max/min files. just make sure you're using the correct frequencies. appropriate frequencies for the Unity rom are:
245760...368640...768000...806400...1017600...1113600...1209600...1305600...1401600...1516800...1612800...1708800
personally, i don't find a need to change it. i think it's defaulted at 1.2 ghz and it works perfect for me. it's fast enough and i still get great battery life.
My gf has a hero rooted etc but its insanely slow! I'm not sure if it hardware or software related so I thought I'd whack a new rom on it and clock it to see if that helps although its been dropped alot
What's the best rom / setup people recommend?
Is there a way to test for hardware faults?
Thanks

There is no MiUi for the Hero. As mentioned above i recommend the decked rom if you want gb.

Probably Vanilla Eclair or Decked if you want no sense.
Or Heroine if you want sense. Take your pic
Definitely Decked_X if you don't want Sense.
Hey Thank's for your input.
Because i like and want sense ui, i've flashed heroine++ ... yes it's fast, but i missed some features from gb roms so i flashed WildHerocV5 and added the V6supercharge script.. and it feels almost the same as heroine speed almost!
It would be nice if there is some GB2.3.7 (CM7.1) rom with sense! I previously have flashed Decked_X, and tried to apply some themes and stuff to get the sense look and i had no luck.

at some point all the roms I tried becomes slower or more sluggish, maybe because of the other reasons, just try to use and keep apps you really need, know whats running in your background and get a phone with 1ghz or more processor to handle picture and web browsers fluently..(kidding) thats a reality, you can tweak, get some light roms, but then you'll loose a lot functions, then you will have to install aditional apps you don't like... then a phone because of those apps becomes sluggy again and even buggy... need to look for updated comfortable rom and go with the idea that hero is a bit of a granny. Try Lewa OS RC2 port for GSM hero.
Been using for more than 24 hours and so far only positive opinion.
fast, stable and has comfortable user interface.
