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.

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

[ROM] FroyoBread

What do you think about this rom? Is ready for daily use or not?

Of course it is. I've been using it for 2 days and it's flawless. Especially since doixanh fixed the wifi libs.
I should say it's as fast and smooth as Floyo and Elelinux.

I recommend you to use it. I'm currently using it, and I love the special feature teh ROM got

Yes, charged to 100% and wiped. I think the wifi is turning on, even with the option "When screen turns off".
Turning off the wifi manually drains 5% in 8 hours.

Id say its the best rom! Good work dx

have tried some and none of them work.
it is mentioned in his note, just want to know if any exist

hey does any body try to restore games by titanium backup like angry birds and fruite ninja because when i flashed the rom and restored my games it doesnt work like angry birds and fruite ninja i dunno why the rom is amazing but the games thing let me return back to gingerbread =(

Well, Doixanh work amazed XDA community in Xperia range, and for me it makes me proud owner of X8. The rom quality is superb, maybe because it appeared when almost all bugs are solved, but anyway, doixanh reunited the best features in all roms and merged them in one, his! I think It was a great choice to bet in froyo platform, because it's already well developed. Anyway Ginger doesn't have camera working at full potential and this rom looks almost the same as it.
I hope more people like doixanh join ours and XDA community.

Hello everyone,
I've have updated my ROM from Racht's 0.20 Floyo to 0.25 Froyobread. Great work on both ROMS, I appriciate the effort from the developers.
I've found no flaws on either, however, I'm a person who's a bit minimalistic, and I like to have clean nice ROM, to a full extent. Now, I have no issue with developers putting their signature on their work, they should take pride in that, however, I like to have clean nice UI and lockscreen.
So, my question is: Can you remove "Froyobread 0.25. [email protected]" message from you lockscreen?
Please, hold no grudge, clean ui and lockscreen is my personal preference, I give full recogntion and gratitude to our developers. Kind regards, and thanks.

i install LINK2SD in this rom, but it is cannot work , what should i do ?

i have ext2, n FAT 32 in my sdcard, but cannot work for LINK2SD :'(

V 2.8

Hi all have to say the 2.8 rom is the best and fastest I have tried.

worried about the battery
hi all,
are you refering to elelinux v2.8. if so i do agree. its a great rom
the only thing im not a hundred percent on is the battery life. i have a monster 3300 mAh battery that usually last 5 days. but after changing from V2.7 to V2.8 it went through 50% in a day. im going to test it out over the next couple of days.

Yeah that's the ROM I was taking about the best so far, but just upgraded to a HTC sensation what a phone but battery life poor.

BUT. . . . . .

no FC
very stable

Great ROM, fast, stable, and looks great with LP+ senselike widgets and Beautiful Widget once every few days have to restart phone though as apps starts to fill up RAM and phone lags, otherwise ..... perfect!

I can't answer the phone...because It have no sound...
Is anybody have the same problem ?

the lite script version has a lot of app and programs missing.
Great if your going to install all your own dialer`s and phone bit and bobs.
and mms clients and launchers
blah blah blah...........
basically its the scaffolding for the user to add his own stuff.
id use the full version.
making sure you did a full data/cache/dalvik/battery stat wipe before you install.
its the best way

Thanks!
But I don't need everything in the full version.
and It may made my Hero become slowly...

You would be surprised what you acctually need to make android run. If you dont replace those parts it wont function.

there is a lot of ways and blogs that people say will help you set up your hero.
But....
to be honest the best way ive found is
1) find a custom rom you like.
2) wipe everything on your hero (not the SD card.) and doing a full install.
3) add your desired apps and widgets
4) then make a nandroid backup
now if you mess around with setting or uninstall apps or firmware
you will always have a solid backup to go back to and try again.
its the best way to learn how your hero works.
good luck.

i always go back to sense even though you lose speed, using tegro slide at the moment and its almost perfect

ive tried tegro in the past
i do like it but it reminds me to much of froyo and i had a bad experience with froyo.
(shivers as cold feeling goes down spin)
but on the up side elelinux has just released V2.9
the update list looks impressive.
BUT......
the big question is whats he got up his sleeve for V3.0
AND will it be the final one.

[Q] Bad question: which ROM to flash?

I feel embarrassed to have to ask this, and I know a lot of people hate this type of post. I want a suggestion for what custom ROM to flash.
I started flashing about 5 months ago with Darky's ROM. And now I like my phone. ( I won't say love, because I love my parents, my children, StarTrek, BSG, hot girls, and icecream and that's it). BUT, the more I flash, the more I get annoyed with the gliches. Darky's 10.1 didn't have working GTalk (w/ Camera), and sometimes has some bugs. I lately flashed Ruyyo EDB1.1 (JVP ROM), but sometimes the phone restarts or crashes, and every 3 days or so, SOMETHING runs down the battery (meaning, the phone over-heats, acts slow, and loses all battery in 5 hours). That might be because of an app, but I think its on the rom. The main apps I use are HandcentSMS, ADW-Ex, and Multi-picture live wall paper. And Gmail (which is FCing every time I restart the phone)
Now there are so many ROMs out, I don't know which one to get. All say they are stable and fast...and I'm sure for many people they are. But I am searching for suggestins. I cannot try out many because I live in China, and because of the damn stupid retarded Great Firewall of China, all downloads of ROMs from Multi-upload are slow (and I need special software to access that site).
So...I'm looking for a ROM which is really stable, which I do not need to do a wipe-flash with and can install with CWM. I would prefer that it use the same lag-fix solution as the Darky ROM so that I can go back to it when they update ...but as I don't every actually activate the lag-fix, probably does not matter.
I'm looking for a ROM which must have voodoo sound (the ability to use my phone with my own AKG earphones without having to unplug said earphones when I answer a call is what convinced me to keep the SGS instead of getting an iPhone4... so this is critical)
I need my ROM to support live wallpapers, so that I can use my LCARS wallpaper with multi-pic.
I prefer my ROM to support the Samsung Music player with the integrated lock-screen widget.
I really prefer ROM which has the front-camera fixed and google-talk operating.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sounds very much like what I am looking for also. I am on Darky at the moment as well. I just want a good, fresh and 100% stable ROM.
- I need root
- Lagfix would be nice
- Needs to be able to work well with Launcher Pro Plus
- Good battery life
- BLN essential

We all need roms that are stable, fast, and with a good battery life... I think I've tried all main SGS roms, but at the end I think I'll stick with MIUI.
I liked Darky's rom, but I've got too many force-closes... maybe it was my fault because I didn't flash it correctly.
But for a month or so I've used MIUI... it's the fastest rom... You've got tons of lockscreens.. including samsung's (I think). Battery life it's not the best, but the devs are really working on making this rom perfect. For example.. for Galnet... this week 2 updates came out, and we're waiting for a big one friday.
My advice: give MIUI a try and you won't be disapointed

There are three reasons why I did not try MIUI. BUT, my reasons may be flawed.
1. In my understanding, MIUI is based on Cryogen (or something like that), which requires that I flash (wipe-flash?) a Froyo ROM first. Which means that I have to download two huge files through the Great FireWall of China. I know that's a lame reason...but that's a fair amount of work for me. Not to mention reloading all my apps.
2. In my understanding, CM (and hence MIUI) does not have the Voodoo sound and does not have the Samsung Music app. The music app is not so big a deal because (in my understanding), CM and MIUI have their own in-notification-bar music controls (which is why I like the Samsung music app). However, I need Voodoo sound in order to allow use of my own headphone while talking on the telephone.
3. In my understanding, MIUI is supposed to look like iOS, which I do not like.
Please let me know if my understandings are wrong.

I also didn't try it because I don't want to flash an updated version twice a week. I want a good working ROM from the start with no need to update until the next Android version comes out.

I am oso on darky's rom previously but having same issue. Then tried Tweaky's rom and Juwe's rom too. Juwe's rom is fast but its bit dull colored and lack of sgs2 apps like Tweaky's rom.Now I am using my own rom base on JVP with Talon kernel with OC, actually it's a mix and match of Tweaky n Juwe's rom. Everything is working so far with some sgs2 apps, tw4, gtalk with video call.Flash n wipe is a must for a start. If u r interested I can post a link for u.

Why factory reset? Why not just do no-wipe flash with CWM?
Part of my problem is that there are a lot of ROMs, and if I'm wiping everytime I do a new ROM, its takes quite a while to restore to full functionality...albiet the end result may be more stable.

So you are saying that you had better battery life with others, and MIUI sometimes gets stuck, but you like MIUI because its faster for games and themes? That's not really what I need (although I do like the notification options I saw on it has). I am more not into this because I'm not into having to Flash back to Froyo in order to install.

Hearing this, I'm tempted to bite the bullet and go through the CM7 install proceedure. I then will have to upload the google apps and the new google talk. But the end result may be pretty cool (assuming does not drain battery more than other ROMs). Thanks for the info.

MIUI rom doesnt stuck and restarts as your think. Battery life is not horrible. You can control your headset in miui with different module like voodoo sound. I think thats the best rom to stick now. You can get air updates and you dont need to wipe your data for updates. Just give it a try. I guess you will like it.

Thank you. I don't think it gets stuck. Its just that you said in previous post "Sometimes it stucks and restarts." I may try this out. I think I'm going to wait and see what this JVQ-based ROM is like before I do any ROM which requires a wipe.
Slightly off-topic...About my phone...I'm not sure, but I think sometimes the heavy battery drain and restarts are caused by Handcent SMS. I downloaded an app called "OSMonitor" It showed that sometimes Android System is continuously using 40% of CPU, and at those times, Handcent is using 50% of CPU. I guess I should delete Handcent and see if my phone gets better stability and performance. Seems maybe the stability problems were might be blamed in the wrong place. BUT...I really like Handcent...

I'm in a similar situation and decided the only way to get what I want is to put it together myself. This also means you probably wont have the latest and greatest because they might be cool but not always the most stable.
What you can do is, get a deodexed stock rom, install a stable kernel with the mods you need (voodoo, bln, rooted and busybox etc) than use Titanium backup to remove all the things you don't want. presto, you'll have what you wanted...

I think the best option is CM7.
Greetings.

I have CM7 and must re-charge every 8h... Moderate use. Are other ROMs better battery-wise?

ROM Reviews and Discussion

Hi guys,
Still on stock ROM, but looking to flash a new one really soon - looked through both Original and Development threads and haven't been very confident so far. Why?
The most popular ones seem to be Lightening and VillainROM, but I haven't found any comprehensive reviews of their battery life and performance - VillainROM doesn't have screenshots either. Mostly the posts on their threads are questions or debugging or pointing out bugs, so its hard to get a proper gauge.
So what are your thoughts on the ROMs so far? Looking for the usual - good battery, stability, performance. I don't care much for the blue of Lightening but as long as it works, it works. What makes it different from Villain?
Also appreciate any other ROMs that may be good to install!
Thanks!

One of the best and smoothest ROMs I've tried has been CyanogenMod 7. Its stable (even in the 7.1 RC), fast, good battery life and reliable. Check it out, its a definite favorite in my book

So far I've only tested VillainROM. I'm waiting for a more stable CM7 to try it out, but until then VR seems to be okay. To be honest there's nothing special about it. Battery life is acceptable, it's close to a stock rom, it doesn't have bugs, it has Nimpo kernel, vrtweaks which let you install some mods more easily, and the devs are skilled and helpful. That's enough for me

Which one of this roms has BLN already activated?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I've now used villain, darkys, adam's aosp, CM7 and MIUI.
All great roms. Villain and darky are both quite close too stock TW. AdamG AOSP is as about as close to androidstock as you can get-which is clean and simple. CM7 is the ultimate ROM for the tweaker and hacker and its also v fast.
MIUI is the most visually different rom. It looks completely different and has some great visual cues. Battery life its also v good on the latest build (.29 beta 32). Its the one I'm using at the moment, but I switch between it and CM7 on occasion.
you won't go wrong with any and although they aren't fully stable (the non TW ones). I've never had any stability issues with them. Just be prepared to not have an fm radio or full bluetooth audio...
My 2 cents, hope it helps!

P.s. Not sure about lightening but one of the earlier builds of villain gave me the best battery life ever on this phone. I think it was 1.4, but this was about a month ago..

There are quite a few, VillainROM is included. You can also flash a BLN compatible kernel to make BLN work.

Thanks, I may want to stick close to TW-based ROMs for the time being until CM7 is stable and GS2-friendly then I've done MIUI before, its a fantastic ROM for older phones, but of course there's problems with translations sometimes and the UI gets old/too iphone after a while.

currently on lightening 2.2 with nimphetamine 2.04 kernal. More than happy with my battery. I get more than a days use out of it quite easily, battery loss is about 1% an hour in standby and the rom itself is very stable. Ive never had a force close, reboot or anything. Im using the steel blue theme too as i like the look of the icons more.
Ive no plans to try any other roms until a fully released cynagen rom is available which i will try, just to see what the fuss is about more than anything.

any ideas how close we are to a stable cm7 release?

I would also like to know.

A VillainROM user here along with ninphetamine kernel I find this the best combination, battery life is awesome and the devs are useful. It's smooth fast and just well top notch.
I've tried many roms but always come back to VR. The best thing to do is try them and find one for your own liking there are dozens to choose from now. In the future I'll try CM7 as I used to run that on my DHD but as of now I'm happy with the TW roms.

Batista70 ROM w/ Ninpo's 2.0.5 kernel here, so far so good. Runs smooth and quite battery-friendly.
I've used Lite'ning also but somehow the I've run into some battery drain issues with it before. Eye'ing CM7 once it gets a stable release.

The latest CM7 nightly, 13, is running really well, it all seems just as it was on my Desire so far, no crashes, just a lockscreen hang every now and again.
Don't know about the Bluetooth audio as I prefer a wired headset.
