Hi - my Hero's !
Are U looking for a real hero ROM?
I totally agree with the quote from rdejager @ villainrom.co.uk/forum :
We can all face it - the hero is not made for 2.2 and even more 2.3 .... Our phones are just not made for 2.3 sense and 2.2 sense .... 2.1 sense roms run fine on the hero. and you can really see that they are made for it, cuss everything just works for it, the hardware is made to the software...

So - do U want to use the power of our long development journey in a fresh ROM?(based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense 2.1)
Good News:
-> Repack ROM from elelinux based on stock ROM 3.36.405.1!
-> VillainROM v13.0 Release * WWE * Android 2.1 *
-> other 2.1 roms
How do U tweak them? How du U like them?
Thankx for any helpful suggestions!
http://www.ekg-clan.de/pasta/hrdb/index.php?site=a21 choose the one you like most they are all good. but if you want only one named: Cronos 2.1.4.1 Sense Eclair
@iPasta: Thankx for the link - nice overview!
Like to try a 2.1 SenseROM again after spending a couple of months on Ginger & Froyo.
At first I want a speedy and stable build.
I have just tried to flash 7.0 v1.0 (Elelinux) - and no, it is still noticeably slower than Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero-Speedmachine rom (6.2). Slightly faster that 7.0 v0.9, but still far beyond 2.2. So; is it possible that a 2.1 feels again more faster?
Will report back my impressions - if U like!
I would suggest Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM. It is, apart of Cronos, the latest updated 2.1 ROM, and is by far smaller in size (nearly 30 MB!). In addition FlyKernel-12a is a good choice
@Krizp0 : Thankx! So:
Do U agree with:
"After a long time playing with 2.2-non-sense-ROM's, I returned to 2.1-Sense.
--> Nothing smoother than 'Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM' with FlyKernel 12a."
Well, I know I went from 2.3 Gingerbread to Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM and felt very satisfied with the speed and stability of good old 2.1, especially since Sense makes your phone full and not fragmented so you have to download widgets and other things to get it as you want. The only thing you may miss is the new functions and apps that require 2.2+.
Edit: I also encourage you to take a look at Tegro 2.5 RC3, it is very Sense-like, but I haven't tested it.
If you want a rom that is A sense rom 2.1 for the HTC Hero GSM and build for it and that just works 100%.
Use Villainrom 12. You can customize it with their kitchen. It may be old, but that doesnt mean its crap .
I myself flashed FlyKernel 11C BFS over it and it works fine here .

Why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1 / 13) !?
Thankx for the suggestions - looking again for VillainROM (i'm a donator)!
I'm impressed and feel backed in my plan to downgrade to 2.1 sense Rom.
My question now is:
How do we can make "VillainROM 12" or other "2.1" Roms more stripped and tweaked?
What do U recommend?
- FlyKernel 12 / Implement Kernel tweaks.
- OpenGL
- EGL
- Gallery 3D
- Latest Gapps
- Implement HTC Hero OTA update 3.36.405.1
So - why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1) !?
I am trying to implement this OTA into VR12.1.
Will play with the OpenGL things too

Which kernel do U include into 12.1?
So far as I know a modded version of FlyKernel 11C Cuss 12A is buggy, for me it is unstable and I dont like it. now running 11C on Villainrom and well it runs smoother then 12A

Pulsar had a modded version of Flykernel 11C in his Froydvillain release. I was refearing to that.
What did I tweak. well the lockscreen, battery Icon, and I removed like 90% of the apps. and I updated EGL. And well I love it.
Now I am on Flykernel 12A M652-M176-noatime
I got awesome battery life.
I went back to Ginger for a test. and well no that was a no go....
The speed in Villainrom is insane.

RCMix is nice and all, but still even VR12 is bloated but RCMix, man... even if you remove all that crap. You can never get the speed of VR12.
@rdjager: How did you update the EGL in VR12?
Is anyone using any 2.2 froyo with sense??? for everyday use...
if yes how is it??
whats the name of that rom?
ChocolateFroyo Rel2 is the ONLY 2.2 sense rom available but doesnt have a working camera...Development stopped due to this in the first week of january
not true ... there are three 2.2 sense roms on xda but chocolatefroyo is the one with most working stuff.
thanks....i think i'll wait for the villian team with there froyo w/sense rom...i hope it would come soon
not true. i have VILLAINROM 12.0 based on froyo 2.2 with sense is the best rom with sense for the hero. and if you flash the "flykernel-12a" you can do overclock and set up the cpu for 710 mhz!!!!
That's based on Android 2.1 'Eclair' not Froyo
chocolate froyo was fixed the bug of the camera????

As stated few post before, all Android OS 2.2 with Sense (including chocolate froyo) all comes with non working camera. It's not a bug, it's source not available for Sense 2.2 ROM developers.
If it's of anyone's interest on using Sense, VR13 is now available for flashing.
It's still based on Android OS 2.1 (Eclair) though, not OS 2.2 (Froyo).
Ok thanks!!!!!!!! One think.. Can you send me the link to find villainrom 13 please???
I finded it!!!! I´m going to flash villainrom13 on my hero thanksssss
I need help.
Hello! Already i WAS flashed the VILLAINROM V13 based on ECLAIR but someone does not like to me. Anyone can to say to his criterion any stable and current ROM for HERO?THANKS!!!!!
PD: IF CAN POSSIBLE WITH & WITHOUT SENSE PLEASEEEE!!!!
You don't like the current VR13 that you had flashed?
May be you grew bored with Eclair (OS2.1).
You may wish to try flash Froyo (OS2.2) ROMs then, such as
Froyd1.73 by VillainRom, CM6.2 Speedmachine V2 by Elelinux, Elelinux's other Froyo ROMs, Erasmux's Floyo1.2, Radug's TastyFroyo, Cronos Froyo 1.8....
Froyo ROMs should be very stable and suitable for daily use.
If you are adventurous enough, you may try flash GingerBread (OS2.3) ROMs, such as Elelinux's 7RC2 Hero v1.4, CyanogenMod 7 Nightly or Cronos' GB1.9
Try Gingerbread ROMs if you like to try new things but these ROMs at the current stage all still have bugs here and there.
Remember, always Nandroid your current ROM (back up, in case you need to restore back).
Have fun

I love Sense, but as it's stuck on 2.1 (for everything to work), I've been trying various other ROMs.
I'd certainly recommend that you use ROM Manager to backup whatever ROM you're on so you can completely restore your previous (working) ROMs with apps etc.
I'd been using FroydVillain Villiainrom 1.7.2 for a while (very stable - 2.2), but started trying the CM7 ROMs (2.3.3) - the best I've come across is Elelinux-7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.5 (2011-03-17):

Yep VR13 rock solidc!1
What is the best rom for me?
i am currently using BinDroid Runmed 2.5
and i am looking for the best rom out right now.
Mainly looking for (speed, battery save, stable).
so if any body can name a rom that they like the most please reply. Thank You
um... shouldn't YOU decide which rom is best for your phone?
also, we have a WHOLE TON of threads like this already, have you checked them out yet?
sigh but whatever...
my favorite roms:
ROM name-Dev-Version
RCMix3D- Capy-Sense 3.5-Android 2.3.5
DARKSIDE SENSE 3.5-TDJ-Sense 3.5-Android 2.3.5
Virtuous Unity-Unity team-Sense 3.0-Android 2.3.4
Cyanogenmod 7(.1)-Cyanogenmod Team-Stock AOSP-Android 2.3.7
My favorite right now is Absolution, give it a try. fast, stable, good battery and nice lookin.
+1 for Virtuous Unity
I haven't found a rom I didn't like
Virtuous Unity 2.39
But here's what you do:
1. Ensure you have the latest Gingerbread radio
2. Do a full wipe and install Virtuous Unity
2. Download Root Explorer
3. Download GO Launcher EX
4. Set Go Launcher as the default launcher
5. Using Root Explorer, remove all Sense, widgets, themes, and other bloat you don't need from /data/app AND /system/app.
You will now have the fastest, and most stable ROM available.

Look in the development section, there are plenty of roms that work perfectly right after you flash them.
My favorite is mikrunny v1.01 its like capy's rcmix but a few more tweaked stable fast and great battery life odex version
It all depends what you perfer out of a rom you want all the stock stuff with a little tweaks go with sense roms. You want customize your theme real crazy and great smooth performance then go with roms like miui or cm7 type roms.

I would suggest sticking with Sense 3.5 and all of the above I enjoyed a great deal. Of those though I have used Darkside Sense the most. I love everything cooked by thederekjay and I mean love! I can't say enough about how fantastic his roms are. As of right now though, I am using COREDROID and I would highly recommend it. It is the smoothest, fastest, and most stable of the Sense 3.5 roms I have experienced. One caveat is that it is HEAVILY themed. I enjoy the theme but I could see it being a deal breaker for some.
Does it matter if you flash the Radio before or after flashing a third party rom?
BTW, is this the latest radio for MyTouch 4G
From the 2.32.531.1 RUU: 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19

Hello, i have virtuous 2.0 rom installed, and i'd like to get some info about kernels before flashing anything, if you have any advice or experience with this rom and tried kernels on it it would be nice to let me know, i did some research but i am kinda lost, was going to put Unity kernel but then i thought i have 2.3.3 and i read it is for 2.3.4>. Anyway thanks in advance.
Oh and one last thing are there many Sense 2.1 ROMS, iknow virtous and InsertCoin.
Some other 2.1 ROMS
eVil has 2 mytouch ROMS - one is a slide the other is not
bsbokc has a mytouch rom (myVision 2.3.4)
virtuous had 1.0.2 before the 2.0
siulmagic has paradox (2.1 + 3.0 widgets like insertcoin)
suilmagic has Synergy (2.1 + 3.0)
I think there was a leedroid that was 2.1 but I could be wrong.
There is an archive out there of many of the ROMS @ http://xda.niksie.nl/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=viewcategory&catid=6&Itemid=1, I have nothing to do with it, but many thanks to Niksie

Manythanks to you friend for the link provided, i think i have some more to learn, android world moves so fast ^^
i'll experiment some more and see.
Oh one more question, do i need to install SetCPU or OC'd kernels are already pre-configured to mange cpu frequencies and voltages? or maybe there is a file to modifiy or customize?
Most 2.1 Rom's will use setcpu as the other oc's came out more on the 3.0 sense roms. Also check in the /etc for a virtuous directory, if there you can edit the files there to increase the clocks as well, but you will need to know what values to use as well.

Ahh, i agree to an extent. For sense, it kinda depends on what you like. Virtuous Unity runs on Sense 3.0. If you ask me, i would tell you to choose the DARKSIDE sense which runs on sense 3.5 and has beats audio. I understand that u are new and everything but i fully suggest that u give a fair share of roms a try. Remember, make a nandroid backup of your faves...expecially of stock, thats very important because its most stable. Here's a quick list of roms that i suggest you try.
STABLE:
MySense (Stock Gingerbread)
MIUI
CM
Virtuous Unity
Virtuous Affinity or the DARKside Sense (both are pretty good and very similar)
Not Stable
Creamed Glacier (I highly recommend this rom)

CyanogenMod 7 (CM7), extremely stable for me, great battery life, highly compatible with apps. Maybe not as glitzy as sense from stock. I don't really remember what stock was like. It lasted all of 3 weeks or less a bit over a year ago.

ROM
well, I think that it all depends on your preference. But if I had to choose which ones were the most stable, I would say either Virtuous Unity, CM7, or MIUI. CM7 is stock android, with a bunch of tweaks. Virtuous Unity is a straight-up Sense 3.0 rom, without any tweaks. MIUI is kind of it's own thing, you would have to go look it up. I only use MIUI when I get bored of using android ROMs, because MIUI is so different; it's like your not even running Android
