Best 2.2 ROM so far

So, I want to flash my device to 2.2 but there are a lot of ROMs to choose from, I was wondering if you guys can post which ROM do you prefer based on speed stability etc...

CM6 (Cyanogen mod 6 is the most stable)

Wtf?
There is no CM6 for I9000 yet.. It's still under development

lol :__
Nope, no CM6 for i9000 yet...
U can try this one
Works great for me
Another idea is to just try them all and see what works for u lol

Right now I'm running JP6 with sztupy's Universal Lag Fix (Advanced JFS mode) and its fast, smooth, and stable. I'm very happy with it.

[Q] anyone working on a gingerbread rom for mytouch 4g?

so since the 2.3 sdk was released today just wondering if anyone is starting on building a rom for the mytouch. maybe even with a few tweaks like adding the overclock to 1.7.

As far as I know the SDK is usually never enough to build a stable rom.
Considering that we don't even have a stable froyo rom yet, I think gingerbread is quite a ways away.

its true the sdk is not close to being a stable rom its just an Android emulator

need the source to drop into the git before you will see true usable gingerbread roms... which will probably be a few weeks.

Gingerbread just hit the repositories, let the festivities commence

MIUI rom and the port from the desire z by evil d is very stable for the mt4g and so is cyanogen 6.1.2... super smooth

[Q] ROM based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense with all the +++ !

Hi - my Hero's !
Are U looking for a real hero ROM?
I totally agree with the quote from rdejager @ villainrom.co.uk/forum :
We can all face it - the hero is not made for 2.2 and even more 2.3 .... Our phones are just not made for 2.3 sense and 2.2 sense .... 2.1 sense roms run fine on the hero. and you can really see that they are made for it, cuss everything just works for it, the hardware is made to the software...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So - do U want to use the power of our long development journey in a fresh ROM?(based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense 2.1)
Good News:
-> Repack ROM from elelinux based on stock ROM 3.36.405.1!
-> VillainROM v13.0 Release * WWE * Android 2.1 *
-> other 2.1 roms
How do U tweak them? How du U like them?
Thankx for any helpful suggestions!

http://www.ekg-clan.de/pasta/hrdb/index.php?site=a21 choose the one you like most they are all good. but if you want only one named: Cronos 2.1.4.1 Sense Eclair

@iPasta: Thankx for the link - nice overview!
Like to try a 2.1 SenseROM again after spending a couple of months on Ginger & Froyo.
At first I want a speedy and stable build.
I have just tried to flash 7.0 v1.0 (Elelinux) - and no, it is still noticeably slower than Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero-Speedmachine rom (6.2). Slightly faster that 7.0 v0.9, but still far beyond 2.2. So; is it possible that a 2.1 feels again more faster?
Will report back my impressions - if U like!

I would suggest Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM. It is, apart of Cronos, the latest updated 2.1 ROM, and is by far smaller in size (nearly 30 MB!). In addition FlyKernel-12a is a good choice

@Krizp0 : Thankx! So:
Do U agree with:
"After a long time playing with 2.2-non-sense-ROM's, I returned to 2.1-Sense.
--> Nothing smoother than 'Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM' with FlyKernel 12a."

Well, I know I went from 2.3 Gingerbread to Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM and felt very satisfied with the speed and stability of good old 2.1, especially since Sense makes your phone full and not fragmented so you have to download widgets and other things to get it as you want. The only thing you may miss is the new functions and apps that require 2.2+.
Edit: I also encourage you to take a look at Tegro 2.5 RC3, it is very Sense-like, but I haven't tested it.

If you want a rom that is A sense rom 2.1 for the HTC Hero GSM and build for it and that just works 100%.
Use Villainrom 12. You can customize it with their kitchen. It may be old, but that doesnt mean its crap .
I myself flashed FlyKernel 11C BFS over it and it works fine here .

Yeah, I'm back onto VR12 now, as it feels nippier than froyo did

That. And BTAudio just works. And I can't remember an app being installed in less then a sec.. ever XD.

Why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1 / 13) !?
Thankx for the suggestions - looking again for VillainROM (i'm a donator)!
I'm impressed and feel backed in my plan to downgrade to 2.1 sense Rom.
My question now is:
How do we can make "VillainROM 12" or other "2.1" Roms more stripped and tweaked?
What do U recommend?
- FlyKernel 12 / Implement Kernel tweaks.
- OpenGL
- EGL
- Gallery 3D
- Latest Gapps
- Implement HTC Hero OTA update 3.36.405.1
So - why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1) !?

I am trying to implement this OTA into VR12.1.
Will play with the OpenGL things too

Jahooo! *perfectly happy*
Which kernel do U include into 12.1?

So far as I know a modded version of FlyKernel 11C Cuss 12A is buggy, for me it is unstable and I dont like it. now running 11C on Villainrom and well it runs smoother then 12A

Rom is faster and works like a charm. I was just deleted some stuff (apps...)from Rom before flash. From my point of view - recommend

Im too now running VillainRom 12 with 11c-BFS and v12 rosie theme, bloody love it

Pulsar had a modded version of Flykernel 11C in his Froydvillain release. I was refearing to that.
What did I tweak. well the lockscreen, battery Icon, and I removed like 90% of the apps. and I updated EGL. And well I love it.
Now I am on Flykernel 12A M652-M176-noatime
I got awesome battery life.
I went back to Ginger for a test. and well no that was a no go....
The speed in Villainrom is insane.

RCMix is nice and all, but still even VR12 is bloated but RCMix, man... even if you remove all that crap. You can never get the speed of VR12.

@rdjager: How did you update the EGL in VR12?

Android 2.3

I have noticed that there is an android update 2.3 out. What is it called? I am currently running froyo android 2.2.1 mod version froydvillain 1.7. What does the new update have that the 2.2 does not?

Gingerbread...
Refined the user interface, improved the soft keyboard and copy/paste features, and added support for NFC....

Awsome. Would you recomend swapping from froyo to gingerbread? And if so are there any recomended roms to use?

Froyo now is faster on our Hero...
But you can try Cronos Ginger is quite fast and frequently update

you can also give a try to Elelinux :

I will second that i have found Cronos Ginger to be the fastest and most stable out and i have tried CyanogenMod 7 but it just didn't feel as clean.

[32A]What's the fastest ROM?

I haven't found a topic about this issue, except this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902405
What is the fastest ROM for Magic 32A? I don't care about radio or spl I can change them. As for the rom I don't care about looks or super duper features, I just want it to be as fast as possible with all things working properly. Right now I think I'm using Ginger Yoshi 1.5.

Completely no one knows?

I like carz's CM7.1 port

try gy 1.5 with old radio the baterry long lasting, cm 7.1 have battery drain issue,

If you want speed, find a light donut or cupcake rom with as few features as possible.

Well, since this is probably going to just be an opinion thread, I'll give mine...
You probably don't want to go all the way back to a 1.5,1.6 ROM, because you will be missing out on a lot of apps that just are not compatible with the old Android versions.
But with the current version ROMS my suggestion is either the Ginger Yoshi 1.5 (2.3.5), good ROM, I've used them all the way from the 1.3
Or the Stock OTA 2.1 ROM with root, because it doesn't have all of the features packed in, but is a solid ROM, and since it is rooted you can still use tethering or whatever your purpose for rooting is.

I say 1.6 for speed...for some speed and batteries with features I said a nice eclair like super e or stock 2.2

Opinion time? Yay!!!
Best donut: super d
Best eclair: idk, haven't used it
Best froyo: dreamteam froyo by me
Best gingerbread: ezgingerbread by ezterry
All of these (maybe not super d) work with 32b and 32a old radio

I like SFM rom (gingerbread):
