phone is too damn slow

I'm tired of my phone being too slow, responding too slow to touch, lagging..
I have the android 2.1 OS on my HTC Hero CDMA and I was wondering if there were any general recommendations to speed up my phone.
I would be willing to put on a hacked OS, root it, or do whatever it takes as long as the phone is still fully functional. I'm pretty new with this stuff so bear with me.
Thanks,
Surfline

Root and install pretty much any rom.

I rooted, installed CM6, my phone was totally transformed.

Cm 6 - rc1 is a good start simply amazing going from stock. I get 0 lag. I must warn you always do a nandroid back up before changing ROMs. Its basically a clone of your phone's software and settings allowing you to recover from a bad issue.

+1 to all previous posts.
The Hero running out of the box stock with Sense is really pretty slow. I liked Sense, but I like a faster device better.
Follow the well documented instructions found on this site for rooting the Hero and then play around with different ROMs until you find one that fits you.
Personally I've been running Darchdroid and don't plan on ever switching again.
I don't even know what lag is any more.

Thank you for your responses.
Is there a link for a tutorial or forum topic about where to download CM6 and how to install it?
Thanks.

Yes, check the cm6 thread.

Thanks guys.
I got CM6 on there now, and it is much faster.
I've seen some posts about putting different kernal's on there..What do you guys think about that? Is there any cool features that I can do now with CM6? Tethering?
Thanks.

you could of kept a sense rom and installed a custom overclocked kernel too. im getting decent speeds now myself with 2.1. cm6 is still a bit buggy to me.

I have been using CM6, I have the latest build and it is great for a few days then gets laggy...Someone said flash a new kernal....I see your post about Dec's, where do i find this kernal? Thanks in advance.

Don't have any lag issues with CM6. Been running for 3 weeks no lag. ???

The problem with installing something like CM is that those ROMs are missing a lot of the stuff that you are used to using. And you might spend a long time downloading, and looking for the apps you need. I found CM to be not much faster and a pain in the ass in some ways (the dialer is weak, same with the keyboard, etc.)
I know people are going to start pointing to all the apps you can download to replace what is there, but it's a pain, and time consuming.
If anything I would try one of Fresh's ROMs, which have Sense and most of the HTC apps. And his Toast versions allow for overclocking as well.
On another note, your Hero should not be slow. Have you tried a factory reset?? I have used slow Heros before, but when they are working properly there should be almost no lag with the stock 2.1 OS.

The kernel is under the thread cdma android development and as far as cm6 u can overclock as well with a different kernel and as for aosp vs sense its just user preference tryem both c which one u like best and stick with what works for u that's what there here for both are outstanding

That's the beautiful thing about CM6 though is the customization. I know its personal choice, but I actually love the CM6 Phone Dialer (one of the guys over on the theme board customized the background for in call to be a nice cyan color other than green) and like the AOSP keyboard moreso than the Sense Keyboard. You can however, install a variety of HTC_IME keyboards and get that same Sense functionality on CM6.
I only do a new nightly every few days and it might take me... 10 minutes or so to get my phone setup. That includes a Full Wipe, ROM Flash, Kernel Flash, Circle Battery Flash and now a Phone Dialer Flash. I connect to my wifi and the Market downloads all of my apps for me and I restore my settings with ADW Backups. Logging into an app every now and then doesn't bother me after I've flashed a new ROM.
This is an "to each his own" situation and I did use FreshROM for quite some time before making the switch. To me, I don't plan on looking back. I may be switching to the T-Mobile G2 when it's released and as soon as CM is made available for it I'll be rooted and running it in no time.

How do you get the market to automatically download your apps? Is it another app or backup? It won't even save all of the apps I had downloaded last time. It only seems to save around 8.

[Q] Removing Branding For Update

Hey,
I understand that the new 2.2 update is available for different locations but the US. I also understand that it's available for unbranded devices worldwide.
My questions is: is there a way to remove the branding so the phone will be considered as unbranded for HTC's update service/servers?
Thanks!

Because the Liberated Froyo is laggy and I'm sure the official Froyo Rom meant for the Aria isn't. I'm interested on unbranding my phone too.

Logically speaking, it would make sense that official froyo from would be laggier. This is my 2 cents: liberated froyo has a different kernel that allows overclocking, i'd be willing to guess/bet stock doesn't. Not only that but liberated froyo doesn't have all the gay bloatware and it's also not possible to root the stock froyo at the moment so you're abilities will be limited. I'm sure there are a lot more. If liberated froyo is laggy for you, it's operator error.

Not sure about it being laggy when being overclocked but it deffinitely is laggy running at 600mhz. If you don't believe me try to use the wide contacts widget or the scrolling messages widget on your Froyo ROM and then go back to liberated eclair and do exactly the same. There is a small difference, you have to swap your finger more in the Froyo ROM. Unlike it you just have to barely slide your finger a bit on eclair to move from one screen to another or scroll down.

It was smooth as butter clocked at 600 for me o.o

I am running Liberated FR008 with the HTC HK kernel (no over-clocking) and it is running smooth as butter, too. I will admit that I thought the original Liberated FR series based on the leaked Gratia ROM was laggy compared to 2.1, however FR008 is based on the shipping HTC Sense 2.2 for the Aria/Gratia and it is rock solid.

Is it really a different ROM basedfrom FR006 to FR008? I tried FR008 and it had the same sun widget bug than the leaked gratia ROM. However I did not tested deeper into that ROM so I can't tell if it isn't laggy as the FR006 series. Would you recomed it for me?

Personally I haven't noticed this 'sun' widget bug, so it must only be noticeable if you are looking for it specifically. Also when I flashed FR008, I was coming from CM 6.1.1, so I did the whole Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache before I flashed. If you flashed FR008 over FR006 and didn't do a full Wipe, that may have been the source of your sun widget findings. IMO if that was the first thing you saw in FR008 that made you stop, I think you may have been too quick in your decision.
I have found that FR008 and the HTC HK kernel run very well on the Aria and is probably the closest we will ever get to a true HTC Froyo release. If you like HTC Sense, then IMO FR008 is definitely worth taking another look at.

After FR006 I went back to Liberated Eclair. So I was comming from it when I tested FR008. The sun widget bug shouldn't be there if it is a new ROM. But what could I know? I didn't build it. I'm going to give it a new try today and I'll let you know how it went, is that okay?

Sounds good. I bit the bullet when I decided to give FR008 a real consideration and so I did a full wipe and had to setup and reinstall all of my apps. In the end I think it was well worth it.

I've been playing with FR008 all day. So far I've got a few random reboot on some widgets like contacts and friendstream. I don't understand why is that. Did that ever happen to you? You're right that it runs smooth but I do notice a little bit of lag there. The weather widget bug really annoys me though but it's not a dealbreaker.

I don't use the friendstream widget and on the contacts widget I only display my 'Family' group, so there aren't a lot of contacts to display.
The only 'issue' that has occurred more than once is a few times when I wake up and unlock my phone the weather widget will FC, but I have never had the phone just reboot while using it.
I also went ahead and flashed the HTC Hong Kong kernel since that is the most recent one for the Aria.

Let me get thsi straight: You're using Liberated FR008 with the Hong Kong Kernel? Why not just installing the Hong Kong update? I read that it will update the kernel automatically. What's FC? I'm thinking it must be Force Closed? or maybe freezed

1. If you install the official HTC Hong Kong update on an Aria, you will loose root because it will update HBOOT to version 1.x and as of now there is no way to get root access back.
2. FC = Forced Closed. It is a little annoying, but it doesn't cause a lockup or force me to reboot the machine, so it is no big deal.
Liberated FR008 allows you to use either the custom kernel based on CM which provides some nice enhancements such as Overclocking, Trackball wake, ext4 enabled, etc or the latest official HTC Kernel that was extracted from the HK update. I started with the custom kernel but was curious about how the 'official' HTC Froyo solution would run on the Aria, so I flashed it and have been running it since the first of the year.

Does Froyo run better with the HK Kernel? What kernel would you recomend?

The custom kernel that FR008 is deployed with offers the best options in terms of performance (over-clocking) and features (trackball wake, ext4 support, etc.) IMO.
I use my Aria for business, so phone, email, calendar, texting, maps/directions, and wifi tethering when I'm on the road. I don't play games or listen to music on it or typically have 4 or 5 apps opened at the same time, so I haven't really found a need to over-clock the thing. For the way I use the phone day to day, the HK kernel runs just fine.

htc hero flashed to Android 2.3 Ginger Bread or prefer to Android 2.2 Froyo

htc flash hero to Android 3.2 Ginger Bread or prefer to Android 2.2 Froyo
I wanted to ask how it is flashed to Android 2.3.Denn as I can read it here it is indeed the rom, but it is generally weak for the Hero? Or rather 2.2 flashed? For I bröchte already a rom, the but also in German

I still have Froyd Villain Rom but I read a lot of good about the 2.3 roms and I am waiting to change over as soon as the RC are done and Elelinux puts out a definite version of his rom(or Cyanogen).
For the german part, I decided for myself to go with english because it is easier to find as it is standart on the roms and it is also easier to describe with the english words when I have problems (also the descriptions use the english terms). As far as I know in most roms you can chose the language and it should work without problems...

but how do I braid at all? because I have 2.1 on it yet

I am not sure what you mean by braid, but if you mean root, than here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257045
The roms can be downloaded here in the forums and then just flash them as indicated.

Will probably flash CM7 tonight just to check out... hopefully it will become final SOON ^^
BTW, I'm new on the forum

I prefer gingerbread using cm7 nightlies atm

I'm on the cm7 nighties too. The default keyboard alone makes 2.3 worthwhile!

First time ROM user....
I was at a loose end yesterday and ended up using ROM manager to install Elelinux 7.0.0 version of Gingerbread on my GSM HTC Hero, TMobile branded G2. I have been messing about with root and launcher pro/ADW for ages and was getting really bored with my Hero, too slow for lots of apps, too old etc. This ROM has given it a new lease of life and lots to play with. I haven't fully worked out what's what etc and am loathe to fill it up with lots of personalised settings and apps because I might well find myself flashing another ROM before long. Thanks be to Google for storing most of my stuff in 'the cloud' and making me NEVER have to lose my contacts again.
I am impressed with this ROM, no crashes, fast and efficient. Only a bit of graphics lag on swiping across screens.
Also, does anyone know why there is no pinch on homescreen to show miniature versions of the screens?
Thanks,
Hamish

I think Froyo is probably the fastest on Hero from what I've heard and personally experienced with a mix of Ele CM6.2 Speed, and Ele/Cronos Gingerbread builds.
The difference though, especially with Ele 1.1.1 for me at least who doesn't really have the animations and runs at 691MHz isn't enough for me to want extra speed by downgrading to 2.2. I'm happy enough eating some gingerbread everyday now, although it took a while!

Since my last post I realised that I was on 0.9. I then tried froyd villain but got scared. I now have 1.1.1 and it's great. One problem is the gps losing it's fix. Any ideas on how to fix?
I LOVE the new photo gallery and the camera seems better too.

I put gingerbread 2.3 on my hero and it was so much better for a while.
But now for some reason it has started to run a bit slow not loading the home screen. I have not able to figure out why yet.
Do not want to go back to 2.2 now.
Launcher pro does not seem to like gingerbread for some reason. keeps force closing.

I digging it too. Had to switch the font, but otherwise, TB is hella responsive. We'll see how the battery life is after a full drain and recharge.

IMO Its all about preference. You gotta ask yourself if y like stock android or sense (among other overlays)
Personally. I havent experienced a rom smoother than Ice Glacier yet. I was surprised since CM7 was less than half the size but smoothness was way behind Ice. IMO Sense roms are more optimized for our chipsets since thats what HTC works on most so im Sense all the way

It really is all personal preference. Especially with a phone like this with so many options the differences in performance are going to be nominal. I personally love CM so that's what I am running. There are people that love sense and there are ROMs out there for that. A better thread for you would have been things you are looking for and we could suggest the best ROM suited for your needs.

Well as you know Sense based rom specially IG is not actually full rom as it just modified and comparing to current CM7(AOSP2.3.X:GB) its 1/3rd of the port size. But as IG heavily depends on Sense based framework it will be little smoother but you can make CM7 smooth also IDK what people talking about it lags as if I even run at 368mhz(max)/245(min)/ondemand (gov) I get NO lag.

Thats the beauty of AOSP and we are thankful so who cares what Google is doing maybe by next year HTC will port Sense based on 2.3 and we just got AOSP2.3.3 port last night on CM7NB11.

my fave so far is jaywans nexus s gingerbread rom. it's pretty smooth and everything works. I wanted to try his thunderbolt port but I kinda got tired of sense

Last I heard the CM updater for Rom Manager Premium wasnt updating for some reason but it could be fixed by now. That was yesterday. Unfortunatly I only have the free version and it only allows for DL of CM7 RC1 so i cant confirm if the other is working again.

Lol that's what he was talking about? How hard is it to grab the current build from CM repository, it takes just 1 sec. I have cURL.d setup on my server it grabs it automatically within 1min as I set the eCrawler auto updated every min.

Really depends on how you want to style your phone. Do you like Sense? Do you want a vanilla flavored rom?

+1 / with carlos2384 ... Jaywan's Nexus S is hands down my favorite ROM so far on this device. Jaywan - udaman! I'm pumped about v2.2 for Nexus S !!
...I did just flash the new Liquid Metal port (RoyalLiquid) and it's quiiiiiite interesting and unique....since it appears it's froyo based, I'm not sure it's gonna steal my heart long term from the Nexus S ROM but at least for now, it's REALLY nice to have options!! (especially when they're as cool as this)
Thanks again Jaywan, Royalknight6190, and TeamRoyal !

I am currently trying ThunderBolt. I like it. I came from Iced which was giving me all sorts of funny business.

What's going on - Elelinux rocks the hero

Hi all.
Just been reading some dispute going on about development and who said what or something of the sort.
Posted here as to new to post on development thread.
What ever happened i hope it gets sorted. I have been using Ele's rom and it's fantastic and i love my hero.
Please keep developing ele as your roms are great.
If not then all the best.

I don't know what's going on but after trying 4 different roms for my hero after 1 ½ years of the original stock rom (1.6), I've decided to give one more try the Elelinux-Hero-2.1-update1 * WWE * which is , for me, the best from the ones I've installed.
So Elelinux, Tack så mycket.

my works great
Funny as i see lots of people post problems with there hero using these roms.
Ele's rom i have been using for a while. using the latest version and never get any issues.
Is the best i have used by far. Use my phone all day every day including email and GPS ect. works perfect and fast. battery lasts twice as long.
2.2 stable is very good to but much prefer gingerbread.
I always backup first and clear cache and factory reset.
