Majority of time battery drains are down to end user and not ram.
High battery drain can be caused my MANY different things like choice of sdcard, not properly formatted, choice of installed apps, choice of settings, user not tweaking default settings, etc
Also Sense roms as a whole use alot of battery even on native android devices, that just normal. You have to tweak them to make battery last longer.
if you want a gingerbread rom you should go away from sense. miui is also good looking. or just use another launcher. launcher pro for examle has nice looking widgets too.
if you want sense you have to use a froyo rom if you want everything working.
but i would go for miui. it looks really good and has some nice features. battery was lasting s long for me on ndt ginger. didn't get such a battery life on any other rom. and if you don't like the iphone like launcher just install another.

Just like he said. I have tried a few and I like you don't want a ROM that has glitches. I'd rather buy a new phone. I ditched the sense and now have ROM that is almost perfect. I can live without it.

Hi XDA, I'm currently in the process of making a new 2.3.4 ROM called CAE (Complete Android Experience) I've added new features and changed the UI but now since the ROM will be heavily community orientated Im after your input, Which apps would you like to see included? Do you favour looks/performance? and generally who's interested in using this?
Many Thanks!

I can try it when you finished it!
If you can make it fast and all to work, then I use it!
ADW Launcher for deafult launcher is good!
and good WiFi files have: CM7 or Japanese Jellyfish RLS11..?
So if you want good WiFi then try CM WiFi files (Newest Nightly)
And if you add speed tweaks to build.prop then the ROM is much better!
build.prop:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=30 to save battery
this is maybe good:
ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true
ro.product.max_num_touch=2
if your build.prop don't have these then add to make your ROM much better:
media.stagefright.enable-player=false
media.stagefright.enable-meta=false
media.stagefright.enable-scan=false
media.stagefright.enable-http=false
there is something: http://alldroid.org/Default.aspx?tabid=40&g=posts&m=5696
maybe with this website build.prop boot sound texts you can get the boot sound to work..?

I don't agree, I find ADW quite laggy.
The EX version is excellent though.

OK! I use always ADW Launcher because It is faster Launcher which I used on my JetDroid ROMs and Blade CM 7.# ROMs...
it is maybe faster than launcherpro launcher but whatever!
EX version lagging on my JetDroid ROMs and it's slower than ADW Launcher? :/
If ADW Launcher is not good then leave original or try touchwiz 3.0 or Launcher Pro...?

I find it around the same as LauncherPro on CM7, for me Stock the fastest.
TouchWiz would certainly be interestisting, LauncherPro is always a good option.
Personally, I'd say just leave it as the stock one since people can always download ADW/ADW EX, LP etc without much difficulty.

OK! but TouchWi launcher is not good if ADW Launcher is slow!
My vote is for Launcherpro, for me is faster and smother than ADW
+1 for LP.Hope to see your Rom soon.

if you write more here : which works which not and which need fixing... etc.
and Screenshots of your ROM then people see that does it look good, etc.
I will not try it yet because first I need to check that can I get apps2sd to work on GSF, because without apps2sd I do not use ROM:s ...
Just got a Hero again a few after i got my old one destroyed.. Back then there wasnt even made a custom rom, so now im going to ask here.
What Custom Rom do you guys recommend ? I have tried allready tried ChocolateFroyo and SalsaSense 4 .. However none of these two roms seems to perform good enough for me to use..
Actually its not that i want that much.. I just want a Android 2.x rom with a good performance and OC kernel + HTC Sense.. I just tend to stick to the 2.2 roms because 2.3 has too many bugs and i've heard that the Android 2.1 roms still suffer from the Random SMS sending issue..
Can you guys recommend anything ? Thanks !
If you want performace, go Vanilla Eclair. If you want Sense and over 2.1, it is a bit trickier. You can try Herolatte, but if you think ChocolateFroyo was too slow, there probably is no current rom which suits you.

I haven't even tried out the Stock 2.1 rom yet.. Hows the performance on that ? And its not like ChocolateFroyo is slow, i just a lot of lag spikes.. Like its performing well enough but then suddenly it all freezes for like 15 seconds and then comes back..
I reccomend Kimera 3.0. Its almost as fast as Vanilla, IMO a bit more stable. I used it for around a month, and recived all my texts, and calls. Only problem is that there is no Apps2SD if you use Fly13 (It's the best kernel imo)

Gonna try that rom.. Just skipped it because of the extra steps when installing ! Not gonna need Apps2SD anyways as i only have around 7 - 9 apps installed
Well, kimera is nice, but it is Eclair, so if you're afraid of random messages... BTW I've never experienced these on any Rom. Seems it only affects some ppl

Yeah i noticed that.. Not that big of a deal
I've tried loads of different rom's and the herodeck 1.3e from my sig is my favourite. I try others but keep going back to it. Why not backup your existing..... flash a new one..... try it out for your own needs and if it's no good.... flash something else that's been recommended or revert back to your backup.

Using Cyangenod released by Elelinux. It contains the latest android version 2.3.7 and is very stable. However this rom is in my opinion not very fast.
I've only really tried a few, sense roms are always slow with all the features. Try elelinux speedmachine running 2.2, I don't know of a faster rom, I haven't tried them all though.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
I've always used VillainRom 13 - nice and fast with Sense. If you don't need sense then VanillaEclair seems to be the best judging by what I've heard. I used Elelinux's Gingerbread for a while and that was nice too, but I like Sense too much
Good GB rom
The decked again Hero CDMA ported rom is the fastest GB rom I have tried ALOT of them, so I would recommend that for you!
I use
I use Elelinux-7.1-Hero-Custom-v2 on a every day basis.
Works fine, no FC and quite fast.
I can recommend it.
If you want a fast, stable build I'd recommend Villain Rom since the hero was build to support Android 2.1 and you'll have sense. If you like new and improved and are no stranger to tweaking I'd recommend HTX zero rom wit Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5. Very cool and fast.I use it daily now.
VR13 and the new release Heroine++ are the fastest for the hero. (if you like sense to much)...if you like AOSP you go for a CM rom or others
for aosp i tested:
1.CM7 - CM team
2.Eles Rom
3.OMFGB - JieeHD
Stefan
Can you explain, what's the difference between AOSP and non-AOSP and why should i like and care if it is AOSP or not?

AOSP (android open source project) is regular android with no overlay like Sense or TouchWiz.
Non-AOSP is android with an overlay like Sense.
Sometimes the AOSP rom is faster because there is no extra overlay.
It comes down to preference - look and feel.

My gf has a hero rooted etc but its insanely slow! I'm not sure if it hardware or software related so I thought I'd whack a new rom on it and clock it to see if that helps although its been dropped alot
What's the best rom / setup people recommend?
Is there a way to test for hardware faults?
Thanks

There is no MiUi for the Hero. As mentioned above i recommend the decked rom if you want gb.

Probably Vanilla Eclair or Decked if you want no sense.
Or Heroine if you want sense. Take your pic
Definitely Decked_X if you don't want Sense.
Hey Thank's for your input.
Because i like and want sense ui, i've flashed heroine++ ... yes it's fast, but i missed some features from gb roms so i flashed WildHerocV5 and added the V6supercharge script.. and it feels almost the same as heroine speed almost!
It would be nice if there is some GB2.3.7 (CM7.1) rom with sense! I previously have flashed Decked_X, and tried to apply some themes and stuff to get the sense look and i had no luck.

at some point all the roms I tried becomes slower or more sluggish, maybe because of the other reasons, just try to use and keep apps you really need, know whats running in your background and get a phone with 1ghz or more processor to handle picture and web browsers fluently..(kidding) thats a reality, you can tweak, get some light roms, but then you'll loose a lot functions, then you will have to install aditional apps you don't like... then a phone because of those apps becomes sluggy again and even buggy... need to look for updated comfortable rom and go with the idea that hero is a bit of a granny. Try Lewa OS RC2 port for GSM hero.
Been using for more than 24 hours and so far only positive opinion.
fast, stable and has comfortable user interface.

I'm looking at getting back onto Sense. Last one I had was Unity 1.29!
I like the Sense 3.5 ROMS but there is so much discussion about MMS and cameras not working. I know you can install apks to fix those issues but are those problems on all of them? The opinions seem all over the place on these two issues.
In case it's relevant, I'm looking into flashing either BinDroid, RunnyMede Xtreme v2, Virtuous Affinity, or Runny Xtreme Surprise - v3.
Any help and thoughts on this?

Of the choices you have there, definately use Virtuous Affinity. But I'm currently using Endymion 3.5, & it is practically perfect. But with either, you can't go wrong. Also, my wife has beenvusing LeeDroid for months, & its great too. Most of the Sense 3.0 & 3.5 are very stable.

Android revolution. Just didnt feel like spelling it all out lol
Is there really any difference between all these though? Other than the RCMix3D tweaks? How does "Rev" () really vary from Affinity for example?
Also, I've been on Runny Xtreme v2 all day and I can't tell.. what exactly is new about Sense 3.5?
Android Revolution is a great ROM and so is Bindroid. Try both and see which one you prefer.
Which Revolution, though? Sense 3.5 or the stable Sense 3.0?

Ok, trying out Affinity for the next day and then I'll see where I stand. I wasn't crazy about the Revolution notes mentioning FCs on camcorder. I really have to have Camera and Camcorder working perfectly.
If you want everything to work "out of the box", try Bindroid first.

Camcorder FC has been fixed
I would recommend Sense 3.0, everything works right out of the box. Another sweet thing ARHD has that not many others do is GPU UI Rendering. This results in noticeable performance improvements.

Would you say that maybe the last version of Unity would be the best?
And is there really NO 3.5 that has a perfectly working camera and camcorder? What other major problems are there? Sorry, I'm coming from another ROM so the commonly known issues of Sense 3.5 aren't something I'm familiar with.

Saranhai is right about ARHD having GPU UI Rendering both for the Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5 versions, which does translate into snappier performance. What it comes down to is personal preference, and if video camera and camera function is important "out of the box", try the Sense 3.0 ARHD version and Bindroid with Sense 3.5. Good luck!

Wow... really not liking the custom icons and theme of Bindroid at all. Guess I'm going with Revolution. I just personally find Bindroid REALLY unappealing visually. I mean, I have to like the way it looks, right?
