In my opinion, Fresh Rom 2.0d followed by DarchLegend.

Ill put my hat in Fresh's corner. I used damage's rom as well. You cant really go wrong with either.

I've tried DC 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, and 2.07.2 and each one becomes unusably slow after just a couple of hours. I don't know why. I would literally wait 10 seconds for the Settings menu to show up.
I switched to Fresh this morning and so far it's running well. Not as well as DC 1.0 did (I have no idea why the Eris ROM is so much faster) but well.

I've been using DarchLegend for a while now, and it is by far my favorite. Especially with visual voicemail working in the latest release, it is a very solid rom. But you just have to try them. Make a nandroid backup, then just start wiping and flashing like crazy

im trying to download it but it says could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. contact server or admin why is this

honestly, none of the current 2.1 roms cut it for me because of several issues including the audio loss. if you want a 100% working/stable/fast rom go with pancake 1.5.

I'd say fresh's feels the most stable
I do have a place in my heart for darch's AOSP so I am going to say that's my favorite, hopefully he gets that update out soon.

It's an issue with your computer. You don't have to post in every unrelated thread about it.

I had more issues on 1.5 than I ever have on 2.1 (especially DarchLegend like I mentioned above)

lol thank you im just trying to get this installed i been anticipating forever to get a rom and now i rooted it and i want to go all the way lol im going to restart

Right now I would have to say Fresh then Damageless. I find myself using both more than all other dev's ROMs but Fresh's ROMs always seem to give me the least hassle and run the smoothest. I love trying them all out though. I am addicted to flashing ROMs and modding my phone.

Not everyone experienced the audio loss issue. To the OP, just do a nand backup and try them all out.

My main issue with all the 2.1 roms is the battery life..it flat out sucks.
I'll plug my phone in and check it about every hour and see its gained about 5% battery life. Yay! If I can turn my phone on and the battery loses 2% while im looking at it, its useless to me.
I'm running Pancake 0.1 with Sense and even on heavy use I get easily 20+ hours out of it. Yesterday I unplugged my phone at 8 in the morning and I sit here at 4pm the next day with 5% battery left. On a smartphone? WOW!
Time to plug it in!

man fresh rom has so many problems keep gettin force close apps audio problem doesnt ring and hate the thing when i make a call i feel vibration

ive never had any problems with any of fresh's roms most stable by far! ive been using darchlegend for the past week, and i love the new widgets no problems at all except my 5.0 doesnt have vvm i havent upgraded to 5.0.5 yet.

hey u live in my area im in miami .. but yea i put it on and i did the wipe i keep getting error that says force close things also i couldnt hear my ringer .... im trying the [ROM](1ST with all recent fixxes built into one rom)DamageR_2.7 but do i suppose to update my radio??? ima noob

my votes for regaw. Been stable for me no problems

Tried like 10 2.1 roms, and went back to 1.5

Hi -
I´ve tried appr. 10-15, 2.1 rom´s now.
BeHero, Eris-Clean, SenseHero, NeoRom, Legendary, Villian, HeroDroid and som of the Senseports .... (several versions .....)
I must admit it has been a lot of fun trying this out
But there is always issues, and stuff about these roms that does not work proberbly. HW beeing poorly adressed, FC issues, things missing, stuff mot working.
Ill put my pros and cons here for your consideration
2.1 Pros:
New market place, with info on updates
Eye candy (like the 7 homescreens seen on one page,) I only used this for "showoff"
Brut maps (Google navigation, for none US/GB people)
On legend ... the smart text selection tool (for copying and sharing text)
2.1 Cons:
FC issues (several bugs which differ regarding of your 2.1 rom)
HW working poor, (Battery doesent work in any ROM, Sensors rarely work or is poor, GPS issues which might need reboot to work.
Cam working BAD (almost every 2.1 rom)
After using a 2.1 ROM for a while, it gets buggy, (strange behaviour)
I have installed MoDaCo 3.2, based on 1.5 now.
Really fast, none of the issues mentioned above on this one.
And I must say that none of the 2.1 roms is any fasther than this one
But thx for the fun trying 2.1 roms
BR.
MKrogh

Totally agree with you. I've been through most of the 2.1 ROMs, and am now switching back to 1.5.

same here but I back on Kimera 1.8 overclock

Not for development section! GENERAL OR Q&A!
I do agree on some of those things....
Battery doesnt work??WTF how are you using your phone?sensors have worked fine for me on all 2.1 roms,did you have orientation turned on?

I'm looking forward to the new super villain hero Tom now

Great - now stop filling the development section with crap!

same here.....after all those i got tired ... using kimera 1.8 @710mhz......

Thread moved to General
Russ

what he says. I don't get the complaining about 2.1 while it isn't even released yet. Most things work fine or need a little tweaking or extra work (like flashing the radio for gps)
Consider yourself happy being part of a community where we can test, give feedback and enjoy the great things rom cookers create for us.

yeah, battery drained out so quickly, i have to agree, and sometimes it didn't work smoothly, but i thought still usable while waiting for official 2.1 then we have a new cooked rom

Can't wait for overclocked 2.1 rom!

I really missed it

NEED help
Hello dear devs, i have an HTC Hero, Rooted, with stock 1.5 ROM, tried some other ROMS, didnt really liket them , put fast SD card and stock ROM became really fast, anyways, for some specific Rom there was a requirement to change the radio, i flashed it, then flashed rom, used it for couple of days, nandroid backuped and restored the stock rom.
Previousely i had GPS working on google maps, the notification bar showed the GPS ON icon when it was on, and google maps worked perfectly, now i got myself Copilot Live sat nav, now the GPS doesn't turn on, i cant see google maps, neither the GPS icon shows when i turn it on.
Firmware version " 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel version 2.6.27-8dd6deee
[email protected] )
Build number: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release keys
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
The copilot shows maps, roads beautifully, (i live in Lithuania btw) but cant determine my position. I'll be off on a journey to Europe with my car in about a week, and i need a sat-nav, thought my Handset woudl go, so my question is, is it possible for me to get GPS working, or should i make some formats, restore factory settings ect. Thank you, hope to get a fast reply

I am seeing some unhappy hero users here. Yes its me the jerk.
Anyhow if you want a rom that outperforms the stock 1.5 one try Cronos Droid

Hd2 software update don't do it!!

guys/gals do not upgrade you HD2 with a new software, it make it instable... many people have been reported issues with the phone, that they never had before.... so do yourself a favor don't do it! i did it and now i can listen to music it will show the tittle but it wont play it.. any advice?? thanks

If you have only just upgraded the software and you have a lot of songs, the song wont play untill it fully indexes all the files, give it some time and it will work.
Flash a custom rom for better stability

Give some details like witch ROM version causing this problems.

i did the software upgrade from t-mo usa

rom: 2.13.531.1 os version: 5.2.21892

Where you find that version? I have latest ROM 1.66 WWE for Europe. I know is newer - 1.72.xxx but for Taiwan. Maybe your rom is not official?

he's talking about the US tmobile ROM that was pulled for not working.

The only problem I've got is the on screen phone buttons won't work during a phone call... real pain no pressing one!
Tap & slide makes the screen buttons work! SOOO... I have no problems now! I understand there are problems if you have purchased one of the preloaded games. However, they do warn you ahead of time.

official from t-mo usa. they just pull it off from the web site,

Well I can honestly say that I have had absolutely no problems with this update! I have read all the stories about issues with the 2.13 update like weaker signal and screen sensitivity but everything couldn't be better! Screen works great if not better. Signal has somewhat improved. I used too have a problem with the native music player but now it works perfectly!
This update couldn't have come at a better time cause I was near returning this phone. The one thing i hated about this phone was that the swype didn't work the way i thought it would. It was actually one of the reasons i wanted to get it! It's so much better now, that I have written this whole reply on my hd2 using swype!
So i guess it could be device dependent or maybe it could be a bad download that you got. Try to download it again or from another source. I got mine here on xda but i forgot from which thread! Well i hope you get it ironed out cause the HD2 is a really great phone with so much potential!

i just bought my phone a week ago and i came with rom: 2.13.531.1 os version: 5.2.21892. and i cant even make it a day without the battery dying. what can i do to run longer? and the sms seems to lag just a lil bit.

I'm sorry you're having problems! I've had an opposite experience - better battery and more stable. Check the forum for battery saving advice... the best of which is turn off automatic backlight!

Mine got more stable as well with the update, my battery lasted about a day of pretty good usage so I wont complain. Light usage is about a day and a half / 2 days tops.
My only complaint is the less sensitive screen.

well i read that an update got pulled about a week ago and thats when i got my phone, but i talked to tmobile and they said they have put it back up so im goin to update as soon as i get a chance.

only reason it was pulled from the official upgrade site was lack of bandwidth....it's back up now and for those of you who are running stock roms, i HIGHLY suggest upgrading it will increase the device stability considerably, also it will fix some reception issues. overall highly recommended.

You Know... they ought to change the name of this thread.

[Q] Can someone please point me in the right direction

No matter what ROM and Android builds i run, i always run into the SOD at some point. Can someone give me a stable, radio, ROM, and android combo that gets rid of the SOD and the other glitches in Android. Thank You,

Upgrade radio to 2.12.50.02.2, use the chuckyDROIDrom and then use BUILD 1.3 (1GB) of shubCRAFT and haven't I experienced a SOD yet!!!!

Sure buddy, just fast forward like a few weeks or months into the future and try any one of them out, they should all be good by then.
Point is, this is still a beta project. Some people rarely have issues, some more often then not. Yes the combo android/rom/radio plays a major factor, but individual usage, sd card type and other unique factors play a part as well. You can switch radios, but one that works great for me may result in bad signal for your area, the build I use might be better the way I use it but might not work as well for what you do on your phone. you might not get SOD but then the wifi won't work or within like that, ya know? Just use what works best for you and wait for a true release, no one said anything is flawless yet.
To try and help, I use:
Rom: chucky lite
Radio: 12.50.02.2
Android: mattc froyo 1.5
I get the occasional SOD and screen freeze but not often enough to really bother me.
A couple new builds just hit the forum today, try those out maybe you'll have more luck.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

i would also add to zero your sdcard. one if my Cheapo sdcards ebay $15 bucks 16gb, kept having SOD issues until i destroyed all of the data on it. I used active kill disk (do a search theres a thread on it). Solved the problem
my setup (sig needs to be changed)
Rom 2.12.50.02_2
Miri's WM6.5.x XtraLight x17.6
setup 2 (gfs)
Rom 2.10.50.02_2
Miri's WM6.5.x with skype/sence x18

TMOUS? Is it a problem?

I am hoping to buy a HTC HD2 Tmobile tomorrow and I was wondering what does TMOUS mean and will a run of the mill HD2 be able to run Android or do I need a unbranded version or something?
Thanks!

the tmo HD2 is better than EU version, it has 1024ROM
you will most likely need to HSPL, change radio and ROM. (winmo)
then pick your android ROM, HTCCLay has a rom on HD2 as well. you should like it.
just look around, and search you will find all the answers you need....
and thank you for posting this in general.

hey
tmous...is (t mo)bile...(us)
i have a tmobile hd2. I am now running the darkstone 3. Loaded it today. YOU NEED TO ENTER A CELL CARRIER for mobile data. APN is epic.tmobile.com. This one the flash is off on the camera, weird delay, but BT works, in car so far and headphones. Haven't tried the tethering and usb tethering.
i ran a darkstone 2.6 i think for two weeks. Locked up ALOT on 3g/edge changes and no power/charge led light. It would seriously lock up with changing towers. Also very very slow with satellites. You need a fair amount of software patches work around, and its only pretty good. Usb tether worked. Bluetooth worked for music/car and phone. Charge lights did not. Camera worked with flash. Still loved it, just the app choices alone make it the lock ups worth it in my opinion.
Just testing the darkstone 3, and seems fine. Rapid Location/gps/sattelites. Phone does not seem to hang or lock up with preliminary testing from 3g to edge. Will test it more tomorrow as i drive thru about multiple towers and will bt music to car, call someone, and text at same time. the 3g speed is much quicker than the 2.6 darkstone.
just check which android you are using. Its hard to find HTC sync to sync with outlook, but you can find it on the web.
Be warned....android changes contacts from last name first to first name last, and stuff......there will be major changes once you do change to android if you are seriously connected to outlook. But livable, taking time to adjust, android does not have all the categories and recurrances and stuff.
edit: yep i downloaded a stripped Winmo, and am running android off the sd card. Look for one with radio upgrade.

I was able with Tmobile HD2 and completely STOCK OS, Radio, and all that - to get most of the builds to work on it easily. I currently have FRG83 on it - scores over 1830 on Quadrant...

i've been using android on my tmous hd2 for about 3 months, and it's incredible. i was ready to toss the hd2 before trying android. i've only tried the one android build, but since i havn't had ANY problems with it, i figured why change it over and over? i've never had any problems with constant freezes or anything, im happier than a pig in ****. i've only had to remove the battery because of a freeze up maybe 5 times since i've had it, with winmo i'd do that up to 5 times a day.
just read up and educate yourself about what you're doing. don't rush into flashing and etc if you have never done it. read everything posted about it in the stickies and you'll be a happy man.
i'm using:
schubcraft 1.5 android (only complaint is data drops for a min or two here or there)
core cell evo 3.0 windows rom (only winmo rom i've used, but i'd imagine it's one of the best, and it doesn't give me trouble with android like other builds)
radio 2.14.50
seriously, just read up on these forums, xda is an incredible place for our phones
