Hi All,
I've been using Modaco ROM for a long time now and am just curious as to what else is out there.
A quick search as left me totally confused as to which ROM to try next. There are so many different ROMs and each with many of their own variations...
What I'm looking for is the best performing Android 2.2 or 2.1 based ROM that includes A2SD and HTC Sense.
I know most people are happy to get rid of Sense, but I actually quite like it.
Any suggestions?

Hey guys, sorry for the n00b question, but after searching briefly, I couldn't find it anywhere else on the Hero forums. I am running Damageless non-expresso, and I wanted to know: Is there a way for me to remove ALL of sense ui? If HTC made it, I don't want it. I know, I know, should have gotten the moment, but I don't trust hardware keyboards after 3 terrible experiences with the Touch Pro. I have already found out how to get rid of Sense UI, but the thread said that it left "the HTC Dialer and HTC Customizations." I just want stock android 2.1 with the .29 kernel. What can I do? Is there another ROM I can get instead? Thanks.
Get Darch's AOSP ROM. I don't know if it has the latest kernel yet, but it is Sense-free.
Thanks, but...

Is there then a way for me to update the ROM to get the Camera working?

I think darch ran into some problems with the .29 kernel. either wait for him to give it a shot or take a stab at getting it going. Stripping sense out of a Rom would be a total pain to do at best.
Okay.
Thanks for the help and info. Will do.
Since the HTC legend recently got Android 2.2 Froyo w/ sense, is there going to be someone to port the rom to the Slide?
I love the functionality of sense but I don't want to have to downgrade to eclair to get it.
So if anybody knows about work being done on that or if someone wants to volunteer, please inform me and anyone else who passes by this thread
Its gonna have the same problems as the 3rd sense rom because we don't have the official 2.2 kernel for mytouch slide! Which means I don't think anyone is going to port it! Check out 3rd sense though its stable enough and is the same sense ui

yep, and actually i think 3rd sense is based on a froyo sense rom for the legend called gratiend so thats your rom right there, at least thats what the credits on the thread say..
I am currently running cyanogen mod 6.1 stable for my slide with clockwork recovery. Do I need to flash/install anything else before flashing this rom?

Nope, all you need to do is a wipe before installing it so you dont get any weird errors
Okay thanks I will flash it, froyo aside, are there any REALLY good stable sense roms out there? Not espresso roms but original HTC sense? flash would be nice

this one has flash lite as well... and as far i know this is the best sense based rom you can find for the slide go ahead try it and tell us what you think
Oh man it works amazingly, I had to disable javascript for the browser to run alright though. Otherwise it is an amazing rom. I ran into some less than polite stuff when I posted in the thread, but I suppose I am a noob. Thanks for the suggestion.

So I absolutely love my HD2 with android on it. So much better than windows! But sense keeps getting in the way of my apps (mostly Wiimote apps) and it is getting really annoying...Is there a way around that? Or more to the point, does anyone know of a good rom that is android without sense that I can run?
cm7 based builds give you a good performance. you can also try miui builds they are fast too.

What problem are you having? (former serial ROM flasher!!!!)
Are you using HD2 Toolkit, makes life a lot simpler for flashing ROMS etc
if you ask 10 people here what rom they like your bound to get 20 different responces. your best bet is to try each rom intill you find a rom you like and stick with it. i have 2 or 3 roms i like best and keep them on my sd so when i feel i need to change i just flash 1 real quick.
if you take a look at this web page there is a list of all the android roms listed here on XDA. its much easier to look through then the pages here & also it tells you if it has sence or not, when it was updated, if its a nand or sd version, when it was added as well as some other useful information. i would check it out and hopefully you can find a rom you like that works for you.
Go try to "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7".
I think you will like it if you don't like sense roms.
Which CM rom is the closest to normal CM7 without any themes or graphical changes? Would it be Tytung's NexusHD2?

Well the problem i am having now is that i can't get ANYTHING not even an original HD2 rom to update onto my phone...The HD2 toolkit is the MAGLDR CMW and SPL thing right?
Can anyone help me i have a htc hd 2 and its converted over to androied .Is there any new roms that i can change from ver 2.2.1 is there something new???
Yes there are plenty of Gingerbread ROMs (2.3.3 and 2.3.4) for the HD2. Go have a look in the HD2 Android NAND Development forum.
thanks for info.is that better then what i have 2.2.1??
Try tytung 3.2a. It's a really good one.

Yes you are using a Froyo ROM, Gingerbread has several advantages over Froyo, one being a better keyboard. Also there is a lot of apps that do not run on Froyo but do on Gingerbread.
hi if i have androied on my phone htc hd2 can i just down load a new rom and install it?
You need to be reading around in the HD2 Android forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=743
Yes, all you need to do is download and install another ROM. There are instructions for installation in whatever ROM you choose to install. There are a lot to choose from.
whats the best one?

Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Neopolitan, Spumoni?
Really, you can't ask that kind of question around here and expect a serious reply. Try Tytung, that was previously recommended to you. Or Hyperdroid, or AmeriCan Android.
Try any or all of them.
hey sorry im new to this dont know the steps to take like i said its an hdc hd2 and i have android on it im happy whit what i have i just wanted to know if the only thing i have to down load is the new rom and install?

one of the best sense 3.5 roms at the moment - take a look
I have not been following the custom roms news very closely these last few months.
I understand there is very few roms that combine Froyo (or later) and Sense (whithout which I don't enjoy the Hero that much) but which solutions exist?
Alternatively, is there a UI really close to HTC's with a recent Android version?
I was refering to that article: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/froyo-with-htc-sense-coming-to-the-htc-hero/
As far as i know, the android 2.2 version (froyo) with sense isn't so good for the moment, since nobody made a full working camera and other stuff
You have to wait for somebody to make the libs work...but if you want to experience sense 3.5 (since it's the latest) i recommend a new phone...since the Hero is to damn old
BTW: guys are working on a ICS ROM but for the moment we just have to wait for a stable release...and it seems that a lot of phones don't have a working camera... but don't be sure that the Hero will run ICS as a every day use.

What good alternative to Seense is there then?

The best option for a STABLE AND FAST phone is the 2.1 version that was relesed these days:

You can use it without any problems Everything works

I guess I could give it a try.
Thanks.
I tried ]Decked_X that includes joins CM7 with android 2.3.7 and Sense UI. It's very fast and stable, but only support English language.

If it's CM7 run CM7 stock and if it's Sense UI you run Sense UI...this is my personal taste
2 things combined aren't so good looking... I haven't tried the ROM but if i have time, i'll give it a spin

no need for goldcards or things like that...
1. Root the phone via universal Androot
2.Install Rom Manager from market -> it install clockwork mode on the hero
3.Start Flashing
4.Enjoy
PS: i'm not responsable if you do anything wrong...It should be easy tho...

Failed! No~~~Fu goo~~~ on my Orange Hero
Z4root tells me the temporary root worked but OverclockWidget (for instance) doesn't work.
The permanent root (of Z4root, still) seems to work, I have some su requests with some apps but Rom toolbox doesn't work.
Hi!
Elelinux 2.1 rom is also very stable and fast. You could give it a try.
Yes, it is! I like that!
