Best Hero Rom for a Noob

What the best Hero Rom for a Noob? I have a Tmobile Mytouch 3G.
I could follow instructions from theunockr.com on how to root and load a hero rom , but dont know how to do my own partitions like ext3 ext4 ect..
So is there any Smoooth Fast Hero Roms thats easy to load for a noob?

32B?? Qtek 1.8. No doubt
You can do partitions with recovery menu.

Shameless plug:
Try using my configurator to setup the partitions to your liking.
For the ROM: I'm using mghtyred's MghtyMax 1.9.1 with a 128MB swap partion and ext4. It's the fastest one I've used.

yes ive heard about the MightyRed 1.9.1 . Thats the one i want but DONT know how to do Partition the way he has it.

So do i root my phone then download your config then open it and do step 7? Then load up mightyred rom?
Also do i place the sd card in my PC to do this then place it back in mytouch
thanx in advance

Please start posting in the correct threads.

Nice Config App bro.
what steps do i do on your Config App to get MightyRed's Rom running?
Also To Do this do i need to have mytouch device connected to my PC or just slide the sc card in my PC?
Thanx for your help

Why move it? So it can go with the other 50times this SAME question has been asked....
also for future reference... the search button is free
HOWTO Partition your sd card
take a look at the threads that start with [ROM] I'm willing to bet somewhere in each of those threads you'll find more than one post saying "This is the [best/fastest/most stable] rom out" and if you look at who said it they most likely said it on a few other roms too thats because each person uses their phone differently and each rom can either be good or not for that specific person.
then theres also the style if your a fan of hero then hero roms are gonna be the best, you also have the live/die for Cyanoden people... can you guess what they consider to be the best rom??? and now theirs tattoo, blur and pulse style roms coming out so that just adds to the pile.
The only thing you can really do is flash until your happy, which its a good thing that it takes 30sec to flash a new rom, to tell you the truth i flashed a good 20 roms before I stuck with the one I use now and I bet someone would disagree that its the best rom but from all the ones ive used for what i do on my phone its the best for me
so instead of asking people that most likely use their phone for completely opposite things you do, I suggest you just flash a few and figure out whats best for what you use if its not better then the last one you flashed then restore [thats what the backups for ] and so on...

500Mb Ext4 and swap partition 96Mb whit my MightyMax 1.9.1 on my HTC 32B.
It's the fastest and stable ROM HERO I've used.

Gave up waiting and installed Cyanogen

Well guys I gave up waiting for Froyo from HTC and have spent the morning doing the rather tricky task of rooting my Legend and installing Cyanogen.. it was a bit of a nightmare and I wouldn't recommend beginners try it but its installed now and I like it a lot.. and hey its froyo... no more running out of space!

Why wouldn't you advice beginners to try it?
It wasn't that hard for me and I'm really glad I did it.
Didn't had any experience with the adb but I liked it a lot it wasn't super easy but I was glad I pulled it off.

What I meant was if you don't even know how to unzip stuff for example or you don't know what a command prompt is... I wouldn't bother trying to do it!

It was a pain in the behind for me during the first attempts as i needed to use the hack to be able to downgrade wich took me quite some time lookin into , once done that the only thing that actualy got in my way was the port remaining open , had no idea why it couldnt connect my device , but if you copy any error from just about anything into google , most likely within 30mins of that your problems are solved.
Either way it isnt really that hard just need some common sence and patience, read things completely and dont rush tru it and yer done in a jiffy.
Have fun for those trying

Also, the learning curve is invaluable. My first experience on these forums was downgrading and rooting. I'm no expert, but I know a lot more than I did in 3(ish) short months.

I think the main thing is follow the how-to's STEP by STEP and you and your phone will just be fine.
And reading posts from the beginning to the end helps 2
over and out !

Step by Step instructions for noobs?
Can someone then point me to step by step instructions from a vanilla 2.1 vodafone legend to use the azure mod?
The only reason why I ask is Ive read a bunch of postings and gotten totally confused.. I know I need to create a gold SD card, boot, patch then downgrade to 1.3 and then Im kinda stuck..
Oh for the record I am technical (java programmer now architect) but its a case of cant see the trees caus. of the forest!!!
thanks all
Angelo
ps if we could make this a sticky that would be fab

Did you read the sticky in the developers thread? It trells you exactly how to do it.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

I did the same... It took me some time to get through everything (mostly due to my Internet connection here in Afghanistan), but I got it done, and I'm so glad I did. I wasn't unhappy with RUU 2.03, but I really needed to have PIN security instead of the silly pattern thing. I will definitely go back to RUU once it's available.

Is it really this e z now?
Tried autoroot and it gave me some unknown error. Lets see what happens.

it is easy. I'm new to rooting and I did it with no problem. Just follow directions.

Thanks for reading the guide its so easy to do I have done it 6 times and help anyone out not hard at all so easy.
When using unrevoked it may say something about connection with the phone was interrupted when it reboots your phone after running the program. Dont worry its normal and now your fully rooted.
Can't go wrong if you need anything PM and I will guide you through it.

Cool man. This is about the most easy way to do things to root. It's simple to unroot to all of those other programs people say to use can be a pain in the ass to use lol.
Glad it's working for you flashing and rooting is confusing for new people and alot of people can be a bit rude when you ask for help. I been learning everything I can from reading and trial and error.

This is as easy as it gets just follow the directons on there site. Make sure you don't have Htc sync installed otherwise you will have issues.

If your not using a evo this method will not work for you. Check here to see if your phone is supported. This method listed here is for the evo.

All it takes is two baby steps till your rooted
H boot driver and unrevoked 3 not hard at all is all it takes other methods it's a pain to unroot.

[Q] [Major WIP]Kingdom port to shift original work by Virusrom

Ok so i used the htc kitchen ported this over, cant flash clockwork tells me expects two args got three args. If anyone can repair these issues maybe we can get it done!? Im noob to the porting and development of roms but i know lots of people would love to have this so heres what i got.

or
https://rapidshare.com/files/461683528/speedy_unsigned_051011_011521.zip
Same files

Script errors are *MOST* likely your problem. Have a look at preludedrews thread in this sub-forum. It'll explain the differences in the mounting. You can look at the update scripts in the other mods for Speedy and see the differences.
I'd just resign the zip and make sure the update script is setup for emmc partitions. If no one's helped a bit later I'll look at it.
sent from my smooth a** speedy!

I wishing knew anything bout porting or developing or I'd be right there with u trying to get this working. I am a willing tester though and have no problems flashing whatever u need. Just let me know

Try manually copying the update-binary file from the shift base to the rom your porting over.

Trying that now. And either i did it wrong or that doesnt work lol.. ERROR: No system folder found. I assume you meant to copy that and then porting threw the kitchen? If not i tryed also just copying that file then trying to flash, didnt get an error just an installation aborted this time..

[email protected]#!??
Wtb assistance or the know how to do said assistance. Or just someone to tell me it cant be done yet so it will leave me alone!

have u tried talking to any of the devs in the irc channel. check them out im sure someone can help.

Yea probibly be better to use the sniper911 dump instead of porting a port. I ran this through the kitchen and got a zip that gave me bootloops, havnt looked into itanymore though.
Sent from my MiuiSpeedy

I have tried to port each and every port or dump i have found. Just saying. none of them would even install for me untill the guys helped me fix some script stuff and i copied the other bianary from a working rom over. But if you need beta testers please let me know! I will gladly use your rom if you get it going.

can wait for u to realse ur version zenulator,thanks in advancee

Yes ZEnulator hows the progress!?

I'm out of town right now but nfx is working on it. It'll be alot easier now that we have a Gingerbread leak for the shift.

follow link above and Downgrade, sucks that you updated, but don't worry you can downgrade to the awesome 2.2.1!
It's quite difficult to brick the phone if you follow the steps exactly. the only time you may brick the phone is when it is during the process of flashing the stock 2.2.1 rom, and you pull the battery or something. So make sure you're battery is charged! and secure.

i understood the downgrade part but im very confused about emmc thing, whats adb?

ah, when you try that command, it has to be tried through adb, and the phone has to be in a custom recovery, like clockworkmod or 4EXT. since you don't have a custom recovery currently installed, it won't work. so try the other command, through terminal emulator.
