I have not been following the custom roms news very closely these last few months.
I understand there is very few roms that combine Froyo (or later) and Sense (whithout which I don't enjoy the Hero that much) but which solutions exist?
Alternatively, is there a UI really close to HTC's with a recent Android version?
I was refering to that article: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/froyo-with-htc-sense-coming-to-the-htc-hero/
As far as i know, the android 2.2 version (froyo) with sense isn't so good for the moment, since nobody made a full working camera and other stuff
You have to wait for somebody to make the libs work...but if you want to experience sense 3.5 (since it's the latest) i recommend a new phone...since the Hero is to damn old
BTW: guys are working on a ICS ROM but for the moment we just have to wait for a stable release...and it seems that a lot of phones don't have a working camera... but don't be sure that the Hero will run ICS as a every day use.

What good alternative to Seense is there then?

The best option for a STABLE AND FAST phone is the 2.1 version that was relesed these days:

You can use it without any problems Everything works
Stefan
I guess I could give it a try.
Thanks.
I tried ]Decked_X that includes joins CM7 with android 2.3.7 and Sense UI. It's very fast and stable, but only support English language.

If it's CM7 run CM7 stock and if it's Sense UI you run Sense UI...this is my personal taste
2 things combined aren't so good looking... I haven't tried the ROM but if i have time, i'll give it a spin

no need for goldcards or things like that...
1. Root the phone via universal Androot
2.Install Rom Manager from market -> it install clockwork mode on the hero
3.Start Flashing
4.Enjoy
PS: i'm not responsable if you do anything wrong...It should be easy tho...

Failed! No~~~Fu goo~~~ on my Orange Hero
Z4root tells me the temporary root worked but OverclockWidget (for instance) doesn't work.
The permanent root (of Z4root, still) seems to work, I have some su requests with some apps but Rom toolbox doesn't work.
Hi!
Elelinux 2.1 rom is also very stable and fast. You could give it a try.
Yes, it is! I like that!
For newer ROM with sense You can try WildHerocRC4.

With the chineese rom are you able to change the language to english or is it best to keep using baked roms until a official english rom or cynogen 6 comes out
You can change it to English, but you won't be able to root it. Baked ROMs are a better bet if you want to keep root.

But that isn't giving us the 450% faster phone that the 2.2 was supposed to give us :/
450% = 4.5 times faster

It was never going to be that much faster than 2.1, especially with JIT disabled.
What are the drawbacks of flashing this ROM, if any?
The main thing that I want from 2.2, apart from more speed, is to be able to install to sd card. Is this possible iwth this?
TIA
I've flash with that rom , and now, I just want to get back to eclair or a baked froyo, that rom is full of problem : not a real android market(htc market) chinese apps, and the worst : I can't use the web browser but I can get my emails.
So if someone got an idea to root that rom or to roll back to a previous version , I'm open to your propositions.
I've already try with unrevoked , and with a goldcard.
So is the Chinese rom available. Where can I download it?

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.

Forget about Sense 3.0....It's not working on HTC hero:-j...to install it you need a partition on the sd card and some tweaks to install on the hero

First, download Titanium Backup and create a backup of all your files to your SD card. Then, you can follow this guide to install any newer NAND Android build. There are loads of CM7 builds such as Hyperdroid and Dorimanx. I'm using Typhoon CM7 and it's great but it hasn't been updated since November and I can't remember if there have been any significant patches or updates since then. From what I've heard Dorimanx's ROM is good.
use rom manager,there you just have to click update ;-D

NO, do not do this, it doesn't just work like that. You need to give more information, but ROM manager doesn't support MAGLDR, and only works with cLK.

As said before Rom manager is not compatible with MAGLDR.
go to android nand section and you will find your answer there .
Hyperdroid, Typhoon, Dorimanx, are the best non sens roms.
Energy, Team Blue Droid, are the best sense roms.
Good luck
If you would like my recommendation on a rom, I would suggest Hyperdroid. It is fast, stable, and reliable.
I've been using it for well over a year now and its speed and stability never fails to amaze me.

That's right hyper droid as said before is the best non sense rom and i use it for month's, and it's fast as thunder .
Okay, so after having tried out pretty much everything on my HD2, I've concluded:
You can't do much in WP7 besides the built-in functionality, and there are no apps for it
ICS isn't fast/stable enough yet due to lack of proper hardware acceleration
Sense 3.x is the same as ICS
I might upgrade to the Sensation
Meanwhile, I want to use something that's stable and fast, and based on Sense 2.x with Android 2.3. What do people think are my best options?
Thanks

Exactly, I've tried out loads of ROMs myself, just not many Sense 2 ROMs. So if someone posted asking what the best Sense 3.5 ROM might be, I would answer them.

Thanks, I'll give the EVO 4G port a try first and report back
I think the fastest/most stable, are the AOSP roms. Like cyanogen, nightlies, those are amazing. And they have a lovely small system partition size allowing for more user data.
