In my opinion it would be JACHeroski. Its stable and speeds are good.

If you have no idea where to start it's probably not a good idea, tbh. Anyway, have you updated the radio and SPL? You'll need to do that before flashing the ROM. My recommendation is also JACHeroski.
I too am interested in hearing peoples opinions.
I disagree that not knowing means you shouldnt, I have been using xda for years and its REALLY hard to keep up to date with things.
Especially since theres new ROM's coming out, it appears, daily.
So please give suggestions on which hero is best.
Also, do any hero's have bluetooth yet?
I have the JACHeroski 2.7.4 i started with that one off the bat, laggy as hell but i need to change the swap settings. I believe that the closest one to the Hero software, no bluetooth or led indicator for messages, they are working at it. Looking foward to flashing this rom on the MyTouch when they figured out how to root that phone
the hero roms are getting better but i dont think they are quite their yet. still seem a bit laggy to me
I'm using JacHero 2.7.4 w/ compcache and the SMStoGMail fix. I still not always getting sms's but atlest they sent to gmail so i still get them. W/ Comp i love the fact i can switch back to "reg" home and have speed but if i want sexyness i press home again and go touch flow. Oh also over clocking at 527/128. Fast and when screen is off saves bat. have 5 widgets going on Rosie with only 3 screens and only get lag when i start getting bunch of SMS and emails and Gtalk at same time. One my friends keep joking i flashing back to Cy once a day but now with the sms fix and speed i getting i never do again.
Does anyone plan on making new roms and themes for the hero i dont really like the look on the stock rom i have MoDaCo and it looks the same as stock like the g1 they have alot of nice roms and stuff will we ever have roms like that?

I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.
do you know any good ones?

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.
Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?
lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.
which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.
lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.
I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

LOL! I sort-of banned myself. The Hero forum there is pretty lame. I still have friends there and at EDTP but I don't spend much time there anymore.
Alright!
Noob here, and I apologize for that... LOL
I'm new to the Android world. Have my CDMA Hero rooted running stock 1.5. Looking at the Wiki for the Hero ROM, there are currently 13 of them to choose from.
I searched for comments, comparisons and such, and there really isnt much here, or I wasn't searching right.
Anyway, can anyone tell me why they like the ROM that they are running so well? So maybe I can decide which I might like to try out?
Thanks guys, Noob or not, these forums have been soooo helpful! Keep up the great work.
Fresh 2.0d plus the vanilla lockscreen (minus menu). Thank me later.
BTW, I have tried nearly every ROM here... I would suggest you do the same since different people like different stuff. Vanilla Darch comes in second for me and I prefer the Helix launcher over any other.

It's just like a buffet, the first time you go there you try everything to find out what you like! The next time you go back you only try what you like!
They are all about the same speedwise, it's all about trying them to find the one that suits you and has stuff that you want in a ROM, most of them have screenshot to see what they look like, and most of them are near 100%.
Roman
Heres what I do. Nandriod, test, restore if I don't like it.

I gotta say, Fresh 2.0d is awesome. Just make sure you also install the vanilla lockscreen.
RegawMOD v2.0.2p here but it's also in how you can put bits and pieces together that makes it quick and smooth for you in all reality.
I run Damagecontrol 2.05 as my daily with vanilla lockscreen, black/blue dialer/black droid launcher/black keyboard, etc, etc....
I'm running DamageControl2.05, slimmed down and modded. Still trimming fat, but my last update.zip was only like 90Mb. Seriously, just give them a try. It's not like buying a car, there is no buyers remorse. If you try one and don't like it, you just move on to the next one. Be warned, once you start modding them yourself, it becomes addictive. Next thing you know, you'll find yourself missing sleep cause you're pouring over apk's and png's getting everything just how you want it... not speaking from experience or anything, lol

ditto.. fresh2.0d outta all of them.. cause it worked for me outta the box.. darchvanilla for me as a second choice.. and i like u and a helix launcher man..
not to say any of the other roms out there are bad.. fresh works for me..
gotta give me vote to damagecontrol. if your new to flashin, consider v1, its the most stable in my opinion. if your looking to tweak and mod however, the latest is the best.
Just wondering if anyone had tried porting it or anything like that. That would be neat.
Go ahead and try it. Let us know how it works out for you...
I'll try and fiddle around with it.
There was a thread about it and someone was working it, but its under all these topics. Would be nice to have though.

I don't think any true "porting" would be necessary. If we were to push/pull the right apks/libs, it would probably fire right up. They have a system dump of the Motorola Enzo in the general Android development forums that I was looking at last night... the system/app directory seemed to contain multiple apks related to the blur interface...
I didn't look to far into it... unsure if it'll run on 2.1 currently. I'd rather work on porting Windows Mobile Classic.
I attempted and got it booting, but didn't have time to fix the issues.
Once we get FriendStream I think blur is useless.

Maybe, but FriendStream honestly kinda sucks compared to MotoBlur in my opinion. Not as feature rich.
do they even have motoblur yet running on anything 2.1? Don't think the droid has it...
If you are going to try. Go download s_blur on the G1 forums, it would give you a good starting base, then take it appart pull its kernel out, put our kernel in.
I had to stop when I was having issues with my linux liveCD and using CPIO. Can't unpack/repack the files with out that. and for some reason it just wouldn't work for me. I was going to try again one day because it would be cool.
But anyways:
Once you get our kernel in it, it will boot. but just about everything force closes.
Where do you get FriendStream?

?, I haven't found it to be anymore feature packed (From what I tried on the Moto Backflip), FS is more compacted whereas MB is split (widget wise).
I think its better split up cause if you follow a lot of people its hard to manage that with FriendStream, I dont know.
if it was possible to port onto the HTC Touch then its possible for our phone it just requires a dev with the knowhow and the demand for such a rom. lets be honest as much as our devs love to tweak their phones they also need some love in the form of donations because this work isnt easy. I was building my own roms for my Touch before the Hero came along and it was tedious work. That said if its ever done I will try this out as I just bought my girl a Moto Cliq and she seems to LOVE it. I honestly tho will never buy another phone that isnt made by HTC
I was fiddling around with this too. I got it to boot and connect to Sprint.... but that's all I got it to do.

You act like that's a bad thing. I know nothing about building roms, but a start is a start. Anyhow, a blur rom would be awesome to have. I personally like the look of motoblur.
I had this running on the touch vogue when it first came out. It's ok but sense is way better for me and really don't do the social networking thing. Now if it had anti-social networking I'd be using it right now.
Hi,
Does any one know if there is a Sense-Froyo Rom for Nexus One?
If so is it any good / stable, if not any ideas when?
Cool thanks guys.
Yea there is one but stable not really to confident on that but modaco.com you should be able to find a sense ui rom on there

I'd rather post a quick question to people who are dealing with this frequently, than trawl the web, sift through junk and install something which has lots of bugs.
Cheer up, its not all bad.
Thanks for the link.
you'll have to forgive XDA, recently it has attracted many young people that get bullied at home and school, this is a place they can come and anonymously display their e-toughness. Just ignore them.
btw, i dont think there is a sense rom that has everything working like your stock version. i hope im wrong but i was interested in rooting to use sense, in the development section i couldnt find any that didnt have disclaimers about things that arent working, so i havent gotten to try it out yet. But again, maybe im wrong, and i hope i am.
Without a criteria of what he is looking for other than good and stable it's hard to give a good answer. It's not about e-toughness, it's about searching, putting together an informative post, and reading the forum rules.
'cymru' is 100% correct. All it took was a search and reading comments about what does and does not work, then nandroid backup and try the rom and see if it passes the "good and stable" test.

WHat he said.
Sense UI has its bugs on the N1. I think LauncherPro is 100x better than Sense UI. It's just not as smooth (this is coming from experience using it on an Evo 4g)

I'd run a stable sense rom if there was one with Launcher Pro as my launcher... I want sense for the camera, calc, dialer, calander, emails etc. not the launcher. The applications on it are just way better quality!

Well there are some roms that have ported sense camera, and apps.
I do believe my "The Official" rom has them. It didn't come stock with the sense camera, but I had it installed (easy to do from spare parts, plus I have 720p recording).
The best you can do is look for a rom with those things ported over.

I agree with cymru, its not that hard to click one section over to development and see what's there instead of someone making a new thread everytime, and xda agrees. Not a big a deal yes, just saying I agree

Luckily i've been a member for a number of years so don't fall into this category...
If it wasn't for XDA recently attracting many young people that weren't taught at home or school in how to do something for themselves once in a while they wouldn't have to come and anonymously display their e-laziness. Just shut up.

Hi guys, if the battle for whos the cleverist is now over, heres some feed back for the advice given.
I've installed, Evils q&d sensefroyo. Been running it for a few days, its cool. A little buggy, a few force closes, high battery use, no bluetooth, but very usable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290
Again thanks for the input, hope this helps anyone else who was looking for similar info.
Cheers.
I tried kingxclikz and Paul's r23 roms, I must say the first one is very buggy and there are no ways to use it even for 24h(though I think it needs an eclair radio),Paul's rom is way more stable but the lack of Metamorph themes,trackball mods and BT are too important.
He promised to release a new version soon so all we can do is wait and see!
Ughh. No BT on any sense ROM then?
Is anybody even working on bluetooth for Desire roms? I don't think anybody actually is. There are a few people I think might be capable like Paul but he's busy with other things now by the looks of it
