I found this and believe it is for GSMHero. But was wondering if it is possible or even wanted for the CDMA Hero.
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=417
can that even be done
I dont see why it wouldnt work for us also. If anything there might just have to be small changes.
apperently it can. id be interested.

Anyone want to try it and see what happens?
what a minute is this a guide on how to dual boot and get winmo on our heros?
i hate winmo but damn id give this a whirl.
edit: damn it's just to dual boot different roms.
my dream would be to get webos on the hero, evo or nexus. i hope hp will make palm release the source code.
Ok, this works with the GSM hero. Is there a CDMA Winmo? Maybe the htc imagio ROM? Would the script in the link on the first post still work with our heros?
Its not for WinMo. Just Android ROMs

oops I thought it was Winmo+Android :/
I tried this the other day actually. I was surprised I hadn't seen it in here yet and meant to write something up, but didn't have time. Basically, yes it works. Mine was very slow booting but I think that might have something to do with my stock SD card :-O I know. But yes, it works, just putting that out there,
Hey guys, saw this on front page today. Seems to give a major boost to performance, any chance we could get it working on the hero, but more importantly would it actually help us?

The data to EXT looks to use ext4, I dont think Hero has that capability. Or it does but hasnt been unlocked so to speak. There is a data2sd that uses ext2, and still provides a 250% increase in I/O, if I was reading correctly. I am gonna look into this today. We need to start with Deca, the kernel needs to be able to allow a few things for it to work.

The OP was updated and it says the the mod is stable and faster on ext2
I havent tried it yet, I did chat with firerat a bit and he says it wont interfere with his Mod, and it should work. He gave me a busybox code that is supposed to do the same thing BUT when reboot the code is lost and would need to be entered again. I tried it and got no high scores on benchmark, still pulling 450.
Code:
busybox mount -o noatime,nodiratime,remount /data
Oh wow, well when I get a chance I'll try it out. I don't use firerat's mod so maybe something weird is interfering :/

Maybe should go on twitter and ask him I guess since he was so sincere about it, he probably doesn't think that hack should be used at least not for the average user I guess. I mean he said "you've been warned" lol so I think ill roll with his advice. Good luck to you all who use it.

Any form of an Apps2SD won't get you support, unless you are using the Froyo version.
I'm going to check it out. Maybe some of the ideas behind the code can be used to resolve some of Darktremor's quirks.

No, he doesn't like anything that remotely looks like his old Apps2SD code. He thinks they create the stability issues with CM. I can't vouch for that, but I have a lot of people who run Apps2SD-style code on their CM with no issues.

quick update
looks like one of the gsm devs has a working data2ext cooked into his rom.
currently it's still in the early stages so it's kinda unstable, however, looking at the quadrant scores they are pushing their phones into the low 700 range...
I think it is just not for average user issue. I went though the whole process on my Hero and made a mistake. I used a program called EASEUS to create my partitions on SD, I set them all as Logical so when I rebooted the phone saw no card to mount Had to format card, restore my data, so I could nandroid back. Then I had to.. well, lets just say it was a pain in the arse for such a dumb mistake! LOL Try again tomorrow, on a spare sdcard.

I dont have that option on clockwork, I can create partition from the app, but the mod directions say to use a program called Gparted, or Fdsk.

ooh crap, i tried flashing amon_ra's custom recovery to make partitions.. for some reason it jacked up EVERYTHING. just spent 30 minutes getting my phone to boot/boot into recovery without freezing
edit: and spent the 30 minutes reflashing a rom and resetting everything... this better work
YET ANOTHER update: i am teh fail and am a linux noob. so i couldn't get it to work last night but managed to not brick my phone. good news is i contacted a very talented dev and he said he's already working on it
Any luck? I didnt try at all today. Gonna look into the darltremor script though, it already moves dalvik to ext/sd so it wouldnt take much more, maybe tweak that code from firerat....
EDIT.......
These scripts are popping up in flashable form now! I flashed one that may work BUT it needs 3 ext partitions. I flashed with only 1 ext and it booted but was SLOW. Gonna try later with correct partitions. I also found one were someone took the darktremor apps2sd and modified it to include data, gonna flash that now!
I flashed a modded darltremor app2sd and ran a quadrant. It flew through I/O test 1 and 2 but then hangs on database writes. So it IS close and CAN work on Hero!!!!
what ROM has everythinig working ON THE HTC EVO?? AND which one the most awesome one!? SOME SCREEN SHOTS WOULD BE AWESOME.. if you guuys could help me here! I got bored of just trying out different launchers.. wanna go into different ROMS! THANKS!!
Flash them and try them out. I liked running Myn's Z rom for a while to try out the new Sense (which is suwheet), now I'm running Sprint Lovers which has everything working (as you say), with a few extras. For real though, just try them out, worst you can do is waste some time setting up your phone again. But hey, you said you were bored so that shouldnt be a deturbance.
MIUI is the best ROM around, period. It is the perfect balance of style and substance. 4G does not work but it is a fair trade off. We just got gingerbread but it still has a few kinks to be worked out. I recommend flashing one of the latest Froyo builds.
It all depends on what you want.
Sense
AOSP
Miui

Many of the ROMs listed as threads in the Development section have screenshots of them, as appearance is a huge deciding factor for many of us. Take a look around and you'll see!

I'm running Myn's Warm Z right now (which lacks 4G, but eh, I never use it anyway, 3G is more than adequate) and Sense 2.0 is damn sweet. It's gorgeous, responsive, fluid, and just has minor touches here and there that most people really enjoy.
MIKFROYO is a great rom to try,,
I guess I need to try Mik's now... !

I've tried a few Roms, the latest being CM7 and VaelPak. After 2 weeks with those Roms, I went back to Myn. No GPS or voicemail issues, and everything runs smooth. I think Myn Warm Z is the best looking Rom, but the lack of 4G made it a dealbreaker as my daily driver.

You root your phone once, the Rom it self is not rooted. They usually come with tethering and the hotspot fix.

Whats a big cause of changing to a ROM? Is it more battery life or something? or its just the customization on them?
man when did people get so lazy ? just go t to the dev section and do a little research?
I've had my Epic for about a few days now and I'm starting to feel like I made the wrong choice. I chose mostly on the hardware, than the software. The battery drains like the phone has a hole in it, the TW UI is just bad and I can't use the regular launcher. I'm sure this phone would be better with pure android. So what should I do? ROMs, Kernals, etc. Thanks in advance!

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
There's definitely a nice selection of Kernels and ROM's available, take a look at the development section, read through some of the features of the different ones available, and see if you find one you'd like to try.
In the end, whether you keep the phone or return it for a Nexus, is all up to you... none of us can really answer this for you, because we all have different wants and needs in our phones.
And fwiw, software side of this phone can be easily modified/customized, so if you're happy with the hardware, then perhaps you should look into the software customization.

Well the kernel has tweaks in it that can save battery... I'd go with syndicate rom frozen with the genocide 1.1 kernel... pretty good combo for me, I can have my screen on for about 4hrs and I'm sure if you use the phone less you can get a few days out of it

A good tip to remember...if you do go the custom ROM route, some have no journaling. If you choose one of those, make sure you power down phone completely and don't let battery die or you will get force closes out the arse. If this my be an issue for you, get a ROM with journal on or flash the journal on mod after flashing the ROM.

Go with SyndicateROM Frozen. The 1.1 version needs updating ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 ) on the ClockworkMod. The 1.2 version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544 ) requires the latest ClockworkMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 ). You need to flash modem to EC05 with Odin.
What I did was flashing modem to EC05, put the first CWM on the phone, then installed SynROM Frozen 1.1. After that, I updated the CWM, then updated to 1.2. I think the 1.2 is not full package (?) and upgrade from the 1.1 (?). Rodderik will update the 1.2 version with latest CWM. You can either wait for that update or continue with the steps that I did toward the 1.2 version.
Edit - SynROM Frozen 1.1 comes with ClockworkMod included. When you get it installed, just update the ClockworkMod (what I did was using the flash method with Odin) then upgrade to 1.2 version.

You had it partially right. Hardware is paramount simply because you can replace the software with better software but you can't replace what drives it. Root your phone with the new purple CWM and then give the Syndicate rom a try. What kernel you choose for it depends on your phone since they each take to certain kernels differently. I am personally using the second to last version of the Genocide kernel and voltage control with great results.
Think of the rom as a car's body that you can choose to option and the kernel as its engine.
I prefer Go Launcher over Launcher Pro and Handcent over all the others available.
If you want incredible battery life download an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX.
Make sure to enable journaling too.

I thought the same thing when I first started using tw... If your taking about the launcher I won't argue. But the rest of tw is pretty good. Built in task manager that clears ram, the dialer is dope. Contacts list is very functional, U can swype right on a name to call our left to txt. Also easy to navigate if u have alot of contacts. Hold your finger on the right in portrait mode to jump through letters, than if, lets say you know alot of T's when u get to T, slide your finger to the left and you can sort by the second letter (feel free to say thanks). If your in to facebook the buddies now and whatever other things are built in to the tw launcher (though if u change launchers you lose those widgets) activities in contacts links your fb friends, the... Does... And u can... With... And so on and so on and so on... theres alot to learn that u wrong in a few days... I've had mine since release day and I just found out... Yesterday... long story short, u only get one chance to trade ur phone in. Use the whole 30 days before u decide

What do you mean by dual boot?
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html
The temporary EL30 boot from sdcard is a method of "dual boot" which has been useful for people to update PRL and calibrate sensors. This old version is problematic in that 3G and 4G data is broken. We know how to fix it, but it would take a few hours of work and there hasn't been demand for it.
Any type of dual boot would boot from the sdcard. The slow sdcard. Not a great user experience.
LOL...I got a quad boot on my phone. If I boot right into CWM I have nandroids of 4 ROMs to choose from to restore. Takes less than 10 minutes to restore one and then there is no issue of running from a slow sd card since we don't have enough internal memory to make real dual boot work.

Where'd all that space come from? I thought we only had like 300 megs in both RAM and ROM?
Also my friends tp2 and hd2 dual booted very easily into android (infact I think the hd2 is the most developed for android phone after the g1 and nexus 1, and its not even native lololol) and ran extremely smooth (on the hd2...on the tp2 it was like a hero with a keyboard lol. Random sluggishness.)
But nah if the hd2 can handle it I know damn well our phones can handle it. The problem is, everything we can dual boot is closed source so that's why windows phones can dual boot android but not vice-versa (I mean, you could do it yourself but just can't distribute it).
Meego seems like a great choice for a dual boot though since its open source and amazing...

This is still not possible. The HD2 had a lot more ROM.

Whats funny is the HTC HD2 still runs ICS or can dual boot etc... and its 3 years old
I have had my head spun by this topic myself -- I've been doing a lot of searches and reading just about every result but I can't seem to find good general info on the subject. I've seen some loosely compiled info on dual booting CM9/CM7, and I've seen some info on the EL30 from sdcard mentioned before, but I had hoped to boot CM9/CleanGB as CleanGB is what I'm running stable and comfortable with now. I'd just like to be able to have stable and comfortable as a fallback for playing with ICS. I know running off the sd is supposed to be quite slow, I don't really know what to expect as to HOW slow, but the way I figured slow was an acceptable compromise for a stable fallback.
My bottom line has been that a lot of kernels seem to support this, yet it feels like there's very little info on doing it, and that just confuses me a skosh. Is CM9/CleanGB even possible due to kernel requirements?

I used to do this on my HTC TouchPro2. It was nice having android on it. The only problem was battery died too quick. But it was a pretty easy thing to do.

Obviously the Touch Pro was designed to run windows mobile only and more business like Blackberrry
