Is a tmo mytouch 3g for 120$ worth it?

It is the one without a 3.5mm jack so It has less than 200mb of ram... I was planning on running CM 6.0 on it.. anyone know how good it performs in this case?

I think if its rooted its worth it

I am not too sure about the price, but I was running CM5 on my G1 and just switched over to a MyTouch and installed CM5 on it. There is a considerable amount of difference in speed and it is pretty smooth. Now I just miss my keyboard...

having recently bought an original mytouch 3g used ($100), I wish I had gotten the newer version with the built-in jack, that adapter is a pain

I have the black MyTouch3G, and have been flashing Cyanogen ROMs on it ever since I bought it last October. Of all the Cyanogen ROMs I've put on it, I think 5.0.8 (Eclair) is the fastest and most stable one yet. Tried his 6.0.0 (Froyo) one on it, and just had too much instability on it. Is it worth $120? I totally think so. The only question you should ask is how much the phone was used, because with as much as I use my phone I think my battery is slowly losing its umph. I still love my phone though.

Not to Jack the thread but have you tried wiping your baterry data to recalibrate?

I have a black my touch 3g running chromatic 4.2 for about a week now. Lovin every minute. No prob. here at all. Fast and smooth. Looks good too. I think it would be worth it

[Q] Are any roms going to increase 3 g speed?

i was running the super D rom a few months back and i was able to stream netflix and youtube on my computer from wireless tether. even the Cyanogen 6 rom i was running was doing fine , till just a few days ago, it got worse and worse.
I just flashed the new CM6-FroyoRedux-v1.5-32b-blk and I'm having major issues with my 3g speeds still, i don't know if my towers changed recently or what the issue maybe i live in downtown Portland,
any other roms you'd recommend for good 3g speed? Or any roms that still are based off of froyo? I'm downloading round 8-10 .
any recommendations would be very very helpful.
i haven't overclocked or tried anything like that. everything is basically default.
Thank you.

Which ROM would you recommend?

I'm currently using FroydVillain 1.5. The problem i have with it is it quite often seems laggy and slow. It also tends to stop responding sometimes when the screen is on and when the screen is off, both times meaning i need to remove the battery and put it back in again and restart the phone. FroydVillain also has numerous other bugs to do with the gallery app and camera app which are quite inconvenient a lot of the time. So i'm looking for a solution.
What's the fastest Hero ROM for Froyo, and which is most reliable? What do most people use these days?
I'm not a technical person so try and keep it simple enough please.

Floyo with flykernel for speed. But I am using cyanogen with that kernel on my hero

VR12 with Flykernel is fast and stable on my device.

Cronos 1.6.0 with gani's galaxy s theme, puckerrr

if you are looking for a sense rom i would suggest modaco custom rom.. i´m using it and it just works. no problems..

I have experienced all of the problems with FV 1.5, but recently I've tried FroydVillain 1.6 and the speed is SICK. And I really do mean WICKED SICK. Try it, you won't regret it.

I m trying Froydvillain 1.6 And works really good. Much better than 1.5
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

I tryed all Froyo Rom on my Hero and my choose was Floyo.
- Floyo 1.1.9 is the most stable for me. For a great experience you can add Launcher Pro and remove the included launcher with the "ReplaceSystemLauncher" utility (see Floyo post for more informations)
FroydVillain 1.6 (with 1.6.2 beta update) is very complete and amazing but a little bit buggy at the moment. I hope in future updates. Note: I found GPS works very very well in this rom.

I can suggest villainrom 12. I have tried numerous newer roms but they are laggy, especialy floyo.

Hello there
I'm currently using RCmix, which lately is getting more and more laggy.
I like sense, but I'm willing to test Vanila ROM's.
Checked 0.7 Froyo sense, but I frequently use camera, so that's out of the question.
So which ROM would You recomend ? Villain 1.6.1 / Floyo ? I think that others are quite old. Or perhaps nightly/CM rc1 ?
There is also Tegro , slide ROM.
I just want a rom that works
What do You recommend ? or should I just backup everything and test run everything for a week and decide ?
cheers!

I've been using Froyd 1.6 since it was released and its been great. Battery life is fantastic only dropping 20% on light usage days. Text/call/game 5 mins.
I'm not sure i'll even bother with the patches at this stage as its been so good.
I started on 2.1 stock which was quite nice but since purchasing the phone I wanted to root it and install custom roms etc and from the research the Villain roms seemed the best option. I had Villain Rom 12.0 and Froyd 1.5 before and have found 1.6 to be much faster.
I haven't tried any of the others though so don't have a wealth of experience as some other users might do. Really it depends on what you want from a Rom... There are always going to be trade offs with the Hero.
GLHF whatever Rom you choose and give some feedback on the ones you do try as I'm def interested.

Well I was using fv1.5 a while back. Switched to floyo 1.1.9, which is a great rom. speedy at 614Mhz, had only 2 FC's in a month. Battery life was good, getting about 16 hours with light-medium usage. Am currently testing fv1.6 now tho. Have calibrated my battery, so hopefully it will last longer than fv1.5 did. Speed Is also fast on 578Mhz. Haven't tried overclocking yet. But its best to try different ones yourself and see which one suits you

Fastest 2.x ROM for 32b?

Hey guys I know this question quite possibly gets asked all of the time. I'm looking for the fastest and most stable rom for my 32b.
Here is what I need to know.
Best rom, radio and spl combo.
I wouldnt mind it being cyanogen based as im a huge fan of the power control widget in the notifications bar and some of the options.
Doesnt matter to me what version is it, as long as its 2.1 or higher. Reason? App compatibility.
So please. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks again and sorry for the "n00b" question.

I just put Frosense by Rushness on and it is the fastest I have ever used. I have ezTerry's non-engineered spl and the alternate radio which gives +14 MB RAM

I am using Frosense by Rushness & i think it's fastest rom that i ever see!

I actually just installed cyanogenmod 5.0.8 with the 2708+ mod for it and its extremely fast. I'll have to make an nandroid backup and see what frosense is all about.

Anyone know rom witch i can run Angry Birds without "laggs"?

Try an older version. I personally do not play the game or care how it runs. My main concern is how to make my phone run well on a day to day basis.
Cyanogenmod with the 2708 radio, and swapper2 using a 64mb swap partition has proven to be the fastest yet for me. All of my apps work and although i had to downgrade zeam to make it work with Eclair, i'm still happy with it.
everything is snappy. My widgets work just fine and the overall experience and usability of my phone is what i would expect it to be.
I would love a froyo rom and i may try frosense in the future. for now im content with what i have.

Froyo for Trout is very fast.

If your looking for a super fast GB rom use mine. It has 60Mb of free space, aways 20MB or ram free. Look for Nomy's CM7.1 2.3.7 in the Dev fourm. There's no swap,or MTD. It's under 40MB Zipped. Hopefully will be under 40Mb unzipped

I would love to use GB. How does it rate in terms of speed and battery compared to eclair? I'm looking for the best overall experience.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

So far the 5.0.8 2708 mod with the last bifftest kernel has been the best overall for me. Almosted tempted to try it on 6.1 to see if I have the same luck.

Frosense i used it and it's over.With the new release it will own the rest

Try Cyanogen 5.0.8 2708+

Aleks. Thats what im currently using with the updated biffmod kernel. Works great!
Wondering if the 6.1 2708+ would have the same success plus the little extra i like like notification bar power control and updated zeam by using froyo.
If i could get that and keep the same nice batterylife and speed of 5.0.8 2708+ i would be one happy camper

Still wouldnt mind a froyo+ rom. looks like when it comes to speed and stability its either going to be biffmod or froyobylaszlo. any thoughts?

xtreme-froyo-1.9.5-signed.zip
Google that rom or find Xtreme froyo, this ROM is best 2.2 I've found for G1...The battery drain is okay, in Biff it was faster, and in Ginger the battery was awful. I tried 2.1 ROMs but they seemed sluggish.

Seems everyone likes froyo by laszlo as the best feature/speed/battery balanced rom. does this do better?
never seen it here so i figured i may as well ask.

froyobylaszlo 5.2, spl latest, swap 128 +512 mb ext4 - my option
it seem to be fast!

What kernel? What compcache settings? Etc.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

Just curious. Since i get great results (performance is satisfactory and battery life is great) with the biffmod kernel over the ezgb kernel in cm5, couldn't the same be said for almost any other rom so long as i use that kernel? The only downside ive had with said kernel is i cannot take 3mp pictures. The camera is sort've crap anyway so i can live with 2mp.
The reason i ask is because i would like to bump it up to froyo but would like comparable performance with about the same battery. Our am i just living a pipe dream?

What I need out of my G1 is battery life. I pretty much use it only for email (wifi and mobile). I've tried pretty much every rom out there for G1, even went all the way back to Donut assuming its battery needs would be minimal. I saw ezTerry's gingerbread and thought, hmm, I'll install it just to see what its like. I assumed it would be very hungry and I'd go back to something lighter. I was very pleasantly surprised.
I've had it running for about a week and a half now. I have wifi on all the time, and the stock email client is setup with a fairly busy exchange server account (push). The gmail client is also setup with my main gmail account.
I am averaging 30 hours like this between charges.
I should say that I do not do alot of voice, perhaps 20-30 minutes per day (on a busy day), so this is strictly an internet device for me, no games, not alot of surfing.

Hero GSM rom

Hello everyone,
I am the unhappy owner of an HTC hero which is performing far toooo slow.
I decided to move from my original 2.1.1 to cyanogenmod 7.1 a few months ago, it was good, but far too slow. I kept it for good 2 months before eventually decided to give some other roms a go.
So i switched to chronos 2.4.4, far quicker than cyanogenmod, but still crawling..
My biggest problem is maps and waze, they are too slow to be useful...
chronos has shown to be also unstable, with the bluetooth causing lots of FC and phone going unresponsive for seconds...
Now, im fed up again.
I woudn't mind to go for android 2.1 or 2.2 i do not really need 2.3.3..
So i was wondering which rom to put on my hero.
Any suggestion?

It sounds like Vanilla Eclair is the ROM you want! It is old, but by far the fastest Rom out there
Sent from my Hero using XDA App

Heroine ++ is a 2.1 sense rom and is very fast
Decked_X is a 2.3 aosp rom which is similar to cm7 but a lot better in my opinion and is possibly the fastest and most stable gingerbread rom you'll find
You could also try Elelinux's Speedmachine V5 which is a 2.2 rom. Its based on cm6. Its my current rom and seems stable and fast. I haven't tried many 2.2 roms so there may be something better out there but this one seems good to me

What is the best 2.2 sense rom?

Unfortunately there is no fully working sense 2. 2 Rom. Camera issues. Still would love to see one though but hardly any development going on these days

at the moment im trying the heroine
quite snappy compared to chronos and cyanogenmod
battery seems a bit weak, 12 hours life more or less...
lets see how it goes

Try the new nightly off the thread of Pure CM 7.2 RC0 KANG ROM.. Speedwise I think it's better than decked. I mean comparing this to heroine, it sure is a tight one. Give it a shot you won't be disappointed.

I've just started using [ROM][2.3.7] LiGux (Coopoui) (RC2.0 - 01/12/2012)[Port] which is fast enough for me and before that the speedmachine rom which was also quick. I think what you might need to do is use an older version of your software rather than expect the rom to pick up the slack. The problem I see is that the maps etc is newer and slower on our older phones. So for the best combination why not get an older rom and an older version of your software (ex maps) and not update them?

At the moment the battery issues are fixed and the rom is going pretty well
quick and snappy it has its hiccups from time to time but i think is mainly because new version of apps software should be called bloatwares instead.
unless the phone starts to crawl again I will stay with this rom..
