I know Many hard working folks are working on 2.0 and 2.1 to get a stable version usable..
My question is.. which of these two currently available working ROMs(1.5) is better/faster
Fresh(.7) or Modaco(1.2c)?
and Opinions, if any..
I think Fresh was a little snapier than MoDaCo.
Fresh has a different Look, MoDaCo seems to feel realativly stock, with some goodies placed into the rom.
I think its really just a matter of personal preference.
There is also a Gutted Rom lurking somewhere, it doesn't seem to get the same ammount of credit as these two. Not sure why, I haven't used it though. These 2 are the most popular.
EDIT:
MoDaCo 1.1 doesn't have the MR, Fresh .7 i think does.
Fresh has optimized apk's that other dont have. I think its way more then the optimizations pack running around.
Hi all
Looking to flash a 2.1 ROM for my sister as i recently sold her my Hero as i purchased a N1
Sorry to ask but in your opinion which is the best 2.1 ROM to flash for day to day stability? usually im up to date on these things but having switched to a nexus ive been abit out of touch with what's going on with HERO DEV work
Cheers in advance for any replys
Get CronosDroid. Only installed yesterday but so far without any major issues. Runs as smooth as any 1.5 with few quirks which are normally present on all custom 2.1. Honestly, I've been very impressed and really can't see how HTC can improve much on official version.
I found the SlideVillian 1.1 to be amazing, fast, smooth and with lots of features... yet to have any problems with it...

Wait until next week. The most up to date kernel has just been made available so a decent 2.1 ROM can be made. We'll have a full, non-buggy 2.1 very soon methinks.

I agree. Most people are using the Cronos one, and the 3 Villian ROMs I think. Read the threads, see what bugs are present and have a play.
But yeah, I reckon within the next week or so we'll be seeing some real magic.

To correct you. The kernel that was released/leaked already is working correctly.
All static/module drivers for the hero are being loaded the way they should.
It is not the kernel that is giving these issues on the roms. but the Libraries created against that kernel. It was more then enough to use the goldfish 2.6.29 kernel and do some little coding so it compiles correctly. Using the compiled kernel and building up the roms with those libraries was the fix...
I've currently settled down with CronosDroid 2.13 the last few weeks and it's been ok. A little unstable at times (OC to 670ish MHz) and keep having to kill tasks all the time but it's not bad I suppose.
I wanted to try Froyo out and was looking at FroydVillain and Cronos Froyo.
I will try them both myself, but I was wonder what you guys think of FroydVillain 1.4 vs Cronos Froyo 1.02?
Any particular positive or negatives?
Froyd over Cronos
Positives:
Active Development
Dedicated Support
Probably as simple as that really.
Just try Cronos once, then you will come to know !

and what exactly is he meant to do when (and it is definitely a when) something goes wrong?
I love you're argument - it is so based in faith that it is a superfluous statement. You haven't provided a single reason for the OP to use the rom aside from your own arrogance. Please provide something useful to the discussion or don't bother to post. (Edit: sorry to bash you but there are so many cronos users who have no idea what they are talking about and have never even tried another rom)
I would love to hear some genuine reasons for using Cronos (from users who have tried both, like myself) because I actually respected it as a rom, but I do believe with the most recent release of Froyo that the unsupported Cronos release is obsolete.

+1 FroydVillain
I think both are being actively developed and have dedicated support. The thing is all the roms are getting so good now that it really comes down to personal choice. Try both and see which one you like would be my advice.

What guys are you saying : Cronos = Hate, what's that ?
Try the 2 Roms and you will have your personal idea.
(Cronos have their site for support and it's very active)
O interesting news that the Cronos project is back. Just be careful as the developer hasn't released his source code (which is against the GPL agreement which the Android platform is a part of, and his linux code isn't available either - once again illegal...). But lets not get into that again.
If Feeyo is providing support on his site I would keep all discussion there as you won't find much favour for the project on XDA at the moment
Edit: I take that back, just seen info about his sources - will see how things work out, maybe Feeyo will come back to XDA in the future and things can move on
This new all makes my first post mostly superfluous now too. My advise is now to try them all (froyo builds) and see which one suits you the most.
Well I've had FroydVillain 1.4 installed all day.
Trying to get used to Launcher Pro... Its cool, but just different. The dock makes a lot of other short cuts obsolete! Maybe thats why it comes with 3 homes screens as default... no way you need 7 with that dock.
What a shame there aren't more icons for it.
I'll let you guys know what I think after a few days time.
Thanks for your input!
Boogwee try here:
http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/
try both and pick. i used cronos for longer as froyd seems to have constant fix-patches which may be good but seems bad.
that said, i'd recommend elelinux.

It came back the day after he took it down.

Doubt that. Personal opinion no real reason.

I agree which ROM is better has alot to do which what you like I personally like Cronos better but before there was Cronos I tried the Villain stuff but I PERSONALLY never really cared for their ROMs they always lagged with me but I haven't tried any of their newer ones so the problems I experienced are probably solved.

10char.....
I have only ever used the Cronos ones.
I thought about trying a villain rom once, but i don't like the way the devs waffle on like the wideboys of XDA, so i never tried it.
Before Froyo, i only ever used the SenseHero 5.1 roms, which after some previous searching, gave me links and messages from the VR team *****ing about Stickman,
Well I stuck with Cronos for a few weeks but the last update 2.14 slowed it waaaay down do instead of going back to 2.13 I thought I would try the new FroydVillain 1.5 and I have to say it's pretty awesome! SUPER fast.
I'm even getting used to Launcher Pro instead of sense..
Thanks for the link spamianspoon, that's an awesome site..
Hi guys,
my 2 cents:
I used Feeyos Rom from the beginning, cause for my felling they were the fastest.
Since Froyo is out, i tried both, Cronos and Froyd. Till release.. i thin it was 1.0.3 or something, i was not really happy with Cronos. So i tried Froyd, which was bette at this time, but not perfect. It's just a feeling that things in the Froyd Rom take a ( really just) little bit longer.
Since Cronos 1.1.0 my opinion is clear: Go and take Feeyos Rom. It's just as fast as no Rom before at my Hero. Everything is fast and responsive.
Ah but i know one thing i miss in the Cronos Roms: MORE THEMES If you want to have very much nice looking themes you should try Villain.
But since Computerfreak ported his theme to Cronos i'm happy again I think they will be more Themes in the future.
So my opinion: Cronos Froyo
Cheers
Froyd 1.5 would have to be the fastest rom. But then again I've never tried Chronos.
Gotta say ive found Cronos Froyo to be the fastest without lag.
Hopefully MrBang will release a froyo rom, as his 1.5 was the fastest rom ive used.
did someone try the cronos 1.1.1 and froyd 1.5?
bb.

Hello All,
Hope we are all having a Merry Xmas so far, and no-one else is suffering with a broken boiler and water mains....at least we have our internet and streaks to keep us busy.
Well, here goes. I am a relatively new streak owner, and the streak is my first foray into the world of android. I wasnt very happy with my 1.6 legacy system and was overjoyed to see the official 2.2 update finally drop from o2 (that was a long time coming!!!). I am now getting more accustomed to android, and I see that if I want to stay up to date in this world I really should be using DJ Steves Streakdroid. What I cannot seem to find out from many places is why.
What does StreakDroid offer me that the official FroYo doesnt? Does anyone have screenshots to show me how it actually looks. I dont seem to think the official FroYo is that bad, although I have only been running it for about 4 days!

I would also like to know the answer to this question. My wife and i both have the streak. ( She had to have the white one) Right now we are both running 2.2 with no issues. I can we go to DJ_steve and not have any issues. When i was running the first release of DJ_steve the camera settings kept rotating and the same with watching youtube.
well the streaks my first android as well....
I have been jumping around and flashing roms left right n centre, had the unlocked official 2.2, then added performance fix to it, then went to steves, then went to official o2's 2.2 and then finally now am sticking to steves 1.5.1..
the major reason for choosing this has been because of the performance improvements....his build really doesnt have any lags, free from carrier junk and also contants improvements and development happening(which though can be a pain if u dont like jumping around roms and have to backup each time)...
my personal suggestion would be...if u the type of person who is satisfied with the performance of the official 2.2 and have no probs with it, and also dont like flashing roms then stick to the official build.
on the other hand if u like fast development speeds and pretty regular updates to ur existing roms, plus a faster rom, however with some issues (such as gps fixes and accelerometer being doggy at times for some people) then u shud shift to steve's...
another suggestion is...u cud probably install the official 318 or 315 builds and apply the performance fixes( basically flashes steve's kernal into ur official build), then u probably have the official 2.2 and also the performance fixes from steves rom...
either ways its more dependent on what u are satisfied with...u can always give steves rom a try, and if u dont like it then flash back the original...
sorry for grammar mistakes...wrote it in a hurry...

Moving to General
Coming back to my DX after being away for so long (moved to ATT and got infuse) and I am on Rubix focused 1.9.5, since GB has been popular on this phone for a while, thought I would try a GB rom, only to find....
One? GB rom on the forums? And I am only seeing liberty 1.5 (I thought it was well passed 1.5, also thought it had GB support, really wanted to try it out), I guess I am totally missing something about the DX. Can someone point me in the direction of the LATEST version of a few of the more popular DX ROMS? (apparently I am ****ing retarded lol)
Really appreciated X_X
Liberty GB, Apex GB, Cyanogen...there are several. However, XDA community participation at least for the DX has been pretty lax of late. Check out droidforums.net and droidxforums.com for more of the recent ROM activity.

This is the website I've been using, they seem to have the most current roms. Look toward the right side of that page and you will find the "Ginger Bread Stuff" section.
