so is that pretty much it for ROMS?

Before I rooted I would read all these posts about how great the roms would be after Sprint released 2.1. So finally I rooted this weekend, and as I look through all the ROMs they all have major issues, and a lot of the major players have moved on to the EVO. So is that it. As soon as 2.1 comes to us we are left with a bunch of roms that don't work any better, or worse, then stock? That is unless I'm willing to cut out all of HTC and Google software.
Please give me advice as to what I do with this rooted phone now.

Not all of the phones have major issues if u read a lot of the roms they tell if they have any. Also there r stock roms that can be overclocked. We've had three or four devs leave to the evo. That not the end of the world plus they left with final full working roms. If ur not happy with something then for it itself or realize nothing is perfect and that these devs spend a lot of there free time cooking there roms and get real tired of hearing people complain about something that us free. Be a little grateful. Read, search, to a little homework and then ask the questions u have inside ur head before u post a dumb question

Look around, no one here is going to hold your hand.

I would chalk up the majority of the "user problems" to user error such as not wiping between flashes or bad 3rd party software with memory leaks or preventing the phone from sleeping...
Sadly a good number of devs went on to the Evo, even worse is some left in the mid of new releases without fixing some bugs.

Even though a couple of the dev's have moved on, there are still some great ones working on the hero. There are at least 6 or 7 fully functioning roms built on 2.1 right now and there's even some movement on 2.2.

As soon as 2.2 is fully functional I'm gonna make a rom of my own with it and I've got my second rom comming soon to 2.1 woohoo lol

Lol, I have been a member here for more then a year, but I don't post because I know what you get here when you post, I had 2 people call my question dumb or call me ungrateful..
Anyways, I was not being mean to the devs. I think their feelings are still intact (those who have not left)
As for reading and searching the forums, which the "positive" posters repeat like a mantra.... well I have been reading, I've been reading like crazy, and All I see are problems with the Roms because no one ever posts positive feedback.
However, I gather from those more productive posts here that the ROMs are very good quality. So from here ill try them out myself, and refrain from posting again for the next year.
Thank you and sorry to all those with tender feelings who where offended by the simplest of posts.

Just an FYI for everyone Fresh just put out a 2.5.2 BETA to donors.
I assume he will leave this one in 100% working order before he dumps the hero for good.
I think he said in the email something along the lines of "last build before FINAL" but don't quote my quote.
I haven't run a damaged ROM in weeks - I went from him to Darch which I feel is the end all.

Lmao maybe u need a bath to get all the sand out of the unmentionable places lmao

Aloysius 2.1 is rock solid, fast, chocked full of goodies, and did I say, STABLE. Blows any stock Sprint ROM out of the water. DarchDroid 2.7 is good and fast if you like AOSP. And I liked RegawMOD a lot too (use Honeybun OC kernel for extra speed). Plenty of others out there as well. I really liked the Blue ROM but my Hero won't load it. Just try them and quit worrying about it. Use apps2sd and then nandroid and you can go back and forth without losing your apps.

Last build before "FINAL" just means the last non-beta release before an official / final release .

Cyanogenmod for Vibrant? How close are we?

I've been following the progress of the Cyanogenmod development for the Vibrant lately and it seems to be moving pretty quickly, i.e. there already booting into the main UI, I believe. Anyway, I'm still wondering if anyone out there has even a rough estimate of when it will be available for the Vibrant? Thanks in advance.

Some time in the near, or distant future. One of Cyanogens pet peeves are people asking when it will be there whenever they are able to get it done. All of the dev's have loved ones, jobs etc. We can give estimates all day long ranging from early September to late October/November. Sadly the only ones that do know would be Wes.

if you arent in a hurry for it then why are you asking for an eta? why dont you go and try to get it working? if you dont contribute anything dont expect stuff from people, no one owes you anything.

I obviously care, and I would like it soon, but I'm not going to hound Wes or any other devs about it, and I don't think posting a question in a thread counts. I'm not a dev and I can't code, so the best I can do is beta/alpha test, and if no one helps me that's perfectly fine.

What draws you to the UI? cause ADW has the sides scrolling option that TW does but you can use themes and such.

Ive seen the adw drawer. It is very similar and I like the convience of the scrolling bottom on the home screen. But im not too sure of stability. I heavily modded my g1. And from time to time I would get force closes. Im trying to minimize the mods on this phone. The adw drawer is not bad. But right now its not something I want on the phone
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

The TW drawer is nice, on my phone ADW doesn't load right. When I first go to the tray it gets stuck in a loop where it keeps wanting to load the tray it just can't. After about 5 tries it usually loads. The stock icon's look better than the adw galaxy s theme, and even when I say use stock icons it doesn't use the phones stock icons.

aawww, I missed a flame war.
What's a good flame without little old me?
lol jp
I like TW too.
I like some of the samsung apps over the stock ones.
I'm not as interested in CM6 as I am in Froyo Period.
I would like to see a sense rom, but i doubt that will happen.

It's definitely a step in teh right direction, but it can't get data (over SIM) and no phone calls yet.
Definitely not yet a RC (even if it is labeled as such internally).
TheDude seems to be making quite a bit of progress though (or at least publishes it unlike Wes).
On the other hand, if you look at the Git, you'll see a lot of stuff getting updated/added by Wes.
I dunno what to think :-/

God I want this. I had CM6 running my Hero and I would love it to have it on my Vibrant. I like that it has the wifi and gps controls in in the pull down menu like the Samsung ROM. That is the best thing about the stock ROM.

You're not going to see much of anything until source code is released, or at the very least Google pushes out the update to the Nexus One. There's not a whole lot you can do with just the SDK.

It is "working" already on the Desire. With a lot of things that don't function yet. But it's nice to have a look at it, although it's still very slow.

that might just be the emulator version
which is horrible

Come on! Dev's have gotten SDK rips for the Evo, Eris, and even the HD2 booted. I figure since the Nexus One WAS the official dev phone, we should get a rip too. I realize that we'll probably have gingerbread in a few days but still, I'M IMPATIENT

They must be getting close. Also samfirmware indicated there would be multiple leaks before the end of the month. There is still a chance that final will be done by the predicted date even though prior history doesn't point to the likelihood of that.

I went from "GB? Who cares?" to "GB! Awesome!" almost to "Whatever." Hope reviews are great and prerooted flash packages are in supply. The pre-Froyo urgency just isn't there but at least they're working on it. And maybe it really does squeeze much more performance out of it.

They don't need to be releasing any final version until they finally get the GPS crash/force close bug fixed, that'll be a deal breaker for thousands of people if they release anything official with that issue still in play.

Exactly my thinking. All these people annoyed at another new build, meanwhile the one we have still doesn't work. Are they expecting Samsung to release it full of holes? With the current version rebooting and having no function GPS, I'm happy to see new versions hitting. Means hopefully they're actually working on the problem.

I still can't understand how what is now a legacy device can possibly give their engineers such problems with the modem and other comm chipsets. It looked to be all solidified in Froyo and now for GB it's the biggest boogeyman?! What are they trying to do...?

The problem isn't how many builds they're making, it's how long will it take them to get it right this time. No one wants the froyo situation to repeat itself with gingerbread.
