What is the best custom rom? - Hero CDMA General

I like the default theme and am not opposed to it, and most custom rom themes I do not enjoy. Nonetheless I want a faster system and the ability for live wallpapers.
Are there any reccomendations on the best custom rom for this situation?

Also looking for the same thing, an overclocked SENSE UI ROM? Currently running DD2.7
Any Help For US?
Thanx,
Tee Jay

The best help you're going to get is
"This is what I'm running, but you need to try everything"
The reason why there are so many ROMs is because there is no "best ROM"

For sense run fresh rom or dc
And flash the oc kernel on top

ive tried all of the custom sense roms and i find this one to be the best. with this kernel OC to 710. its the fastest on my phone. and you can get live wallpapers from here.

There were two versions of the kernel there. I found out that the Fresh and Damage version is NOT the correct version.

Well if you like stability, and your gps and accelorometer to work properly. Ie you want to be able to use geocaching programs, and exercising programs like cardiotrainer then I would choose a rom based of of the official stock rom like fresh

[POLL] What ROM do you use?

Take your pick, and lets see what people use!
Do I belong to the first slot ? Whats Rev 3 ? My rom doesnt have the ap2sd feature.
Its understood the CM roms will score higher.
I think the "Based on Official" is MoDaCo Custom ROM.
I use Azure.
I use Azure as well, honestly I'm interested in the results because I've been looking to change ROMs.

The last 4 weeks or so saw several ROMs released for the Legend but things have slowed down again. I hope Legend devs/chefs aren't leaving the scene...
EDIT: maybe this should be the 'General' forum

Please pop in to post which feature of the rom in use you like best e.g ap2sd, live wallpaper, speed, utility, connectivity, etc
May I ask why there isn't an option for the official ROM?
At the mo APP2SD ROM, Base on Official
Azure 0.6 rom which its awesome
Where is the option for Stock Rom?
I used CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC2 before but I recently changed to Azure 1.0 due to issues of Camera and bluetooth function.

Closest Rom to AOSP?

Hey guys im wondering what ROM is closest to pure aosp for the fascinate?
Thanks
Retro kids has some nice themes that you can slap on your rom of choice. As of now, that's as close as you are going to get.
JT's clean ROM with RetroKid's AOSP theme.

tried to install it but i never get past the SAMSUNG screen.
Is there a special way to install it?
and im not talking about the MAGIC aosp rom because thats still built on touchwiz so it seems from photos.
Did you get it from IRC? That's where it is. Also, it is very buggy, and the phone doesn't work.

that is a no radio/data with the 11/11 that some have stumbled upon in the rom manager manifest
Which version are you running because there are two different themes for each version. For the i01, check out my aosp request in the themes. Retrokid has instructions on how to install theme. For the version that doesn't really exist, his ultimate aosp theme is what you should look for.

HTC Wildfire Custom ROMS

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, but I don't really like it. If one exists, can someone post a link to a custom ROM that is based on gingerbread with an updated HTC Sense on it?
Thanks in advance

There's just one, and its incomplete:

Yeah as 3xeno said there is only one and it's not complete, I tried it and it was pretty useless as SN everyday rom. Try wildpuzzle (its 2.2) but it's a very good sense rom

What ROM please suggest!

Hi! Just got a Tab and rooted it.
I have a Galaxy S phone so I'm kind of experienced in Samsung stuff (a little) so what ROMs and kernels are best?
Thanks!

Galaxy Task ROM + Pershoot's kernal
Just my opinion
My advice is to stick with stock rom or use latest leaked stock rom.
Real tuning can be done without flashing custom rom, rooting is enough, for instance fixing low screen sensitivity using Screen Tuner app.

Use Task 6.1, it already has pershoot's OC. Touch screen has been tuned. Browser works great. It has all the bells and whistles.

I second that! If you're rooted, there's really no point in not trying something different; and while all the developers for the Tab here have done great work, I'm partial to Task's stuff. I can count on one finger the number of times I've had a problem with any of his roms...and he fixed that in minutes. Try to get that kind of response from Samsung!

It is the best rom available. Very stable and smooth.

When you flash with a custom rom you a replacing your existing rom and custom roms usually grant you root access. CWR is clockwork recovery . You flash that to replace the standard recovery. makes it easier to install custom ROMs

Missing Flash_Image

Guys i've flashed SFM 3.0 hero, good rom but the wifi doesn't works so i want come back to stock. the big problem is that's my sister's phone and this rom has deleted the recovery and now i don't manage to reinstall it. it says flash_image not found. i even tried with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 at the step missing flash image, but every thing i do it get reveals useless. here's a screenshot of prompt adb: http://imageshack.us/f/338/immaginevi.png/
Guys please help me, it's important!
more details:
i've started with the stock 2.1 and rooted with universal androot and flashed SFM 3.0 with AmonRA recovery.
now if i try open the recovery it's stuck on the bootlogo. i tried with fastboot, adb, the official RUU but it says that my phone's firmware is wrong.
update: now doesn't stuck on the boot logo, but it boots normally without a recovery.
it's rooted on the SFM 3.0 rom and give the "flash_image not found" error
first things first. i have no idea how to get back to stock using the official RUU
however i do have a few alternatives you could try just in case you don't find the answer your looking for
now you say you flashed sfm 3.0. a similar rom to this would be Wildheroc ROSE V5. its exactly the same as sfm 3.0 but its more stable. it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316886 also you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24343144&postcount=500 which is a themed version of ROSE V5 created by slobo2712.
if your looking for a stock rom then i highly recomend Heroine ++ which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295991 this rom is seriously fast. its basically the same as stock with a few minor adjustments here and there
there are other roms which remove sense from your phone that i could recommend but if your looking to keep sense on your phone then those two roms are the ones I'd highly recommend
i know this doesn't exactly answer your question of how to flash the official RUU from HTC but as i said previously in the post i simply don't know. these are just a few options you could try if you don't find your answer.
if i can't access the recovery how can flash another rom??

Ahhh ok must have missed that bit
Can you still use the phone normally???? If so maybe try installing Rom manager from the market and then flashing the recovery from there
Could be worth a try

i managed it with an official RUU, don't remember wich. now i've another problem. from 2.1 stock i've flashed Elelinux gingerbread ROM, but 3D games like dead runner wich worked on stock rom on this one don't work. maybe the kernel? i still have the stock one.

Do you DEFINITELY still have the stock kernal? The reason I ask is because Elelinux roms usually come with flykernal13.
Sometimes re flashing a rom can solve issues. So I'd say go into your recovery and wipe data 2 or 3 times just to make sure because 1 wipe sometimes doesn't get rid of everything. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then re flash the rom
If that doesn't work then you could try flashing the Las Venturas kernal but I'd doubt it would be a kernal problem
You're wright it isn't a kernel problem but i did all kind Of wipes but 3D games and applications don't work

Hmmm if they worked on stock then I'd expect a newer version of Android to be ok as well . I'm not a big gamer on my phone so can't say I've ever experienced these problems
What games and applications don't work? And do they not work completely? Or just not as good as on stock?

I've never touched the bootloader so I'm afraid I can't really answer that question
As for best Rom. There isn't really an overall best rom. It all just comes down to personal preference and what your looking for in a Rom but there are roms that are a step ahead in each android version.
If stock 2.1 is what your looking for then you can't beat heroine ++ if you want sense or you could try VE 6.2 if you want AOSP
As for 2.2 froyo you could try FloYo. I used it once and it seemed ok
And as for 2.3 gingerbread. If your after a 2.3 sense Rom then wildheroc is by far the best one around at the moment. As for 2.3 AOSP roms I'd highly recommend decked_x or any of the elelinux roms or even the two latest cyanogenmod nightlies
