Best 2.1 Sense ROM for Hero?

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?

Personally I avoid using anything with the Cyanogen Mod kernel. My ROM of choice is Jubeh's Froyo ROM, it's basically just AOSP froyo w/ root, that's it. It's super responsive, and with the stock launcher, the occasional reload only takes a couple of seconds.

how do i do the same thing youve done?? im using cyanogen 5.8 and with the goole add ons,, but it still doesnt log into my google account or have android market,, cant put linda file manager on it,,, need to find a OS that i want to use everyday,, please help!!

I'm running CM 6 at this moment runs smooth , for the market just install
gapps-mdpi-tiny-20100816-signed.zip . The only which won't run smooth is aptoide .

Why do you avoid CM? Do you have a link to Jubeh's FroYo ROM? I'm looking for something very minimal, fast, and close to stock.

Sapphire - MT3G Fender & 1.2 ROMS
The only Sense ROM I'm aware of is based on the MT3G Slide and can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673503
Ginger Yoshi has gotten decent reviews by Fender owners. It can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673503
There are also stock Froyo mods with custom kernels and streamlined app loads in the works from what I've heard.

You can flash ROM's from the G1 forum. There are a few with Sense there.

im aware of that. but, wat if it specifies the radio? or i just flash and it will work.
any kernals i have to flash if i want one?

If it specifies a radio, no. You don't have to install any kernels. Make sure you do a nandroid backup before flashing so that if the ROM doesn't work you can restore your backup.

thanks for quick replies. ummm any sense roms tht work for mytouch 1.2/fender without a2sd? and is fast and stable?

[Q] HTC Magic 32B recommended ROM's

Hi there, HTC Magic user here.
I've gone back to stock ROMs for a bit but lately I've been wanting to go back to a rooted phone.
My previous experience with Cyanogenmod 5 and 6 has been terrible, the phone ran slow and even completely stock there would be either launcher restarts after running even the messaging app or app force closes if the launcher was kept in memory. The only ROM's that worked well were 1.6 based ones but of the three that most people use, they all have problems which make them difficult to use in the long run.
tl;dr What ROM's are you using with your 32B Magic and what optimisations do you do to stop lag and memory overflows happening?

Ezgingerbread (link in my sig) is what I usually use. Its pretty light and fast.
If you want as many cm features as possible while still having some speed try cos-ds.
If you really like cm features, there's greenromproject cm7 or anotger cm7 rom who's name I can't remember. I haven't used those yet so I can't say anything about speed there.
And these are all gingerbread roms. Idk what to suggest for other versions.. I got into android right before cm6.1

Does Gingerbread need a new radio firmware on the Magic?

Nope. There are gingerbread roms for every radio. If you are talking about the 2708+ radio then I would recommended it for the extra ram

I'm currently running Ginger Yoshi 1.2 and love it. I've used CM 5.0.8, CM6, Ginger Yoshi 1.1 and now 1.2. All have worked great on my phone. The one thing for me is that I wipe everything...everytime. To include my SD card manually. I save my files on my computer and put them back after I load up the ROM.

Search is your friend

If your phone is rooted you could always get Rom Manager Free from the Market and get the rom of your choice. I use CyanogenMod-6.0.0-DS and the phone runs great. It's actually the only ROM my phone has been able to handle fully with no issues. OS 2.2 is the highest I would put on the MT3G. I've tried Yoshi's, EzTerry, Greenrom, etc.. and all either had issues or just wouldn't work.

Search in this forum, RC Magic V7, SFM 1.2 sense 2.1 (Its great recomended), or clean magic (Fast). All whit htc sense! I tested all and work greats!

Have used both SFM 1.2 and Clean Magic 5.01. Would highly recommend either of them. The new lock screen in SFM 1.2 is very cool though

Sorry, just realised they are both 32A only ROMs. Maybe take a look at Ginger Yoshi 1.2

I've tried biffmod, gingeryoshi and few others before them, unfortunately each left me wanting to try another rom. Now I'm on froyobylaszlo I simply don't have that yearning for another rom anymore, and I suppose that says it all. I think I made a couple of tweaks but nothing major(can't remember though!) and it runs great, very smooth and fast.
Only issue I have is running speedtest, where it reboots occasionally.

Thanks for that, but they're both 32A ROMs.
My phone is the 32B and only has 192mb of RAM so I don't think they'd run

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 always turn off the screen off animation, I find it annoying personally
I'll try those games on my phone. I'm using a sense rom so I'll see if they work on this
EDIT: couldn't try dead runner or cut the rope because there paid apps but fruit slice worked fine

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
