Which Rom?

Hi folks,
I've been out of touch with custom rom going on's for a while - at the moment I'm running MoDaCo's 2.9 on the 1.5 firmware. Am I right in thinking there are now custom roms I could flash to my Hero that will also update the firmware? What are the particulary good ones at the moment (I haven't seen a MoDaCo Rom for ages - I think 3.2 was the last one?)
Sorry for being such a pain, there just seems to be MOUNTAINS to catch up on.
Thanks,
Pete.

Best 1.5 ROM is SenseHERO 1.6.

there is a new modaco rom, based on the latest 2.1 and it's great. fast and stable.

You have cronos droid which is based on the official 2.1 release (cronos 1.7) and you have villainrom which is also based on the official release (villainrom 10).
Both are rock solid choices.

Yeah I'm running Mocado 4.0 R3 and it's a great ROM!

Cyanogen Stable 6.1 port?

Hi,
I know there are a few Cyanogenmod based HD2 ROMs, but was wondering if there are plans for a (clean) port of the new stable release?
Or what is the 'cleanest' CM 6.1 release to date?
I'm using MDJ HD desire build and it's solid, but I prefer Cyanogen to Sense...
Peace out brosephs...

I'm waiting for HD2ONE, shouldn't be long for 6.1 stable to be released.

sweet, cheers.
trying the current build. seems pretty sweet. way faster than Sense build.

Why stable?
Nightlies are just as good, the very few ones that contain bugs are just ignored by the HD2 chefs anyway.
HD2ONE is good now as it is too (i.e. nightly build, unless I'm very mistaken here), and I like JDMS (based on Ultimate Droid, which is based on Cyanogenmod) too.

I wondered if there was a build that is based on the CM 6.1 final version as that is now out, (not the RC versions).

[Q] Stable Sense ROM

I want to use something different on my phone.
Now I have "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.9".
Tomorrow I will try WindowsPhone7 but for me Android is better (and I can't live without "sms backup +")
What is the most stable rom with HTC Sense?
I don't mind about 2.0 or 3.0. I want something stable and fast and possibly without too much customizations.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks to all of you for your passion.

I'm praying a chef is reading this section and decides to make a proper stable Sense version again cause there is none left, period. It's terrible...

Your sign tells everything.
So I will try MIUI (which I already tried but is too slow) and then I will return to TyphooN.

i think Rafdroid Rom is really stable and fast.

I am using this now, but have not been able to get anywhere near the speed that is shown in the OP of that thread, not sure if I am doing something wrong.

I'm trying to dualboot windows phone7 (720p :-Q________ ) and rafdroid on sd.
Finger crossed

Rafdroid is the most stable but major speed improvements have been made since, notably by imilka. Unfortunately he never finished his work...

its sems they are unstable if you play certain games on them, ive never had any issues with them so you cannot say every version has issues

Rafpigna's Sense ROM from sdcard is very very slow :-( but it's stable.
I will try Sense ROM and then I will switch back to a cyanogen.
can you tell me a fast and stable sd rom? Now i don't mind if it has sense or cyanogen. I need a usable rom because I want keep WindowsPhone7 and android
EDIT:
I followed this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cUdB4_5f4
to dual boot
But Android says to insert a sd card!

Well, ALL imilka's builds are FC the same apps. I tried them all. So to me, it's a buggy work. A rom is to be considered stable when every function of the phone is working with decent speed and with all apps working. I would say that 75 % of my games are FC when they all run fine on other ROMS. Even Earth is FC !
The problem is that most of the 3.0 Sense Roms are using imilka's method as a base so they do have those persistent FC on top of their usual bugs.
Let's face it : development for the HD2 is dying and Sense Roms are the best example to prove it.
We still have CM and MIUI fortunately.

Are CM and MIUI fast from sdcard? Or I must install them in nand and say goodbye to windows's 720p camera? (TyphooN CyanogenMod in nand is perfect except for the camera, like all others android rom)
I hope you can understand my english

Well WP7 does have 720p recording but the Camera makes greenish pictures with the flash. To me, good pictures are always better than 720p...

Sure, good colors are better than just more pixel. But for me, the camera seems do a excellent job

[Q] Switching Roms

*Originally posted elsewhere and got no response*
Hi Chaps, I'm considering switching builds to the current Typhoon nand rom, I'm currently on the old M-DeeJay nand Rom for those of you with long memories, and for the most part it's been very stable. Unfortunately just recently I've been having issues and have decided to have a fresh install.
Reading through the last 60 pages or so of the typhoon rom, it seems like the ROM has become somewhat unstable with the latest versions, with data dropping out, batteries being drained etc
I've experienced no real issues like this with my current Rom (no issues that I can't solve), are these real problems for typhoons rom at the minute that I should wait to see fixed, or is it a case of user error and I'm fine to go for it?
I've never used cwm, so haven't flashed nightlies, I prefer to find a Rom that works and stick with it rather than risk screwing up my phone
Also - just how improved are current roms over ones that were cooked up around christmas time?
The other ROM I considered was the Dorimanx one, it seems to be just a little too tweaked for my liking

current cm7 roms have android 2.3.5 base. instead of them you can use roms with android 2.3.4 base (which are stable).i typhoon rom op there are old rom download links.i'm not sure but version 3.4.1 is said to be very stable.

best stable rom i ever tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
and fast ...

thanks chaps - now running typhoon 3.4.1

best rom with sense is Android 2.2.1 Sense 2.0 NAND Firmware (based on stock Desire HD RUU Ace 1.84) by Mikhei777

I cant speak for non Tmobile HD2 devices. But for the TMobile version this ROM is the fastest, cleanest, and most stable I have used. I have been using it for almost a year. So far have not run into any issues especially once I switched to the CLK version. [OCT16] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7 | bk2sdext [KERNEL:ACA823]

[Q] are wifi problems more related to Cyanogenmod roms

Hello guys, all respect to the great work of the Devs and others. I am testing roms now for a while until i venture to write this down. I've tested the next roms without wifi problems:
1. ROM MccM+DS+V4.0+FroyoStone+Sense FINAL
2. ROM Rafdroid HD SD 4.2
3. ROM MccM HD V6 FINAL
4. MccM Mix Theme MT V7.2
5. ROM MccMBoxmax Transformers SS V7.5
6. ROM MccMBoxmaX GS V12
7. ROM MccMBoxmaX MixTheme RR V11
8. ROM BoxmaX KS V9.0
9. ROM MccM Mixtheme V1.3
wifi problems with the following:
ROM NEXUSHD2 ICS CMG HWA SD V2.7.7
ROM Leo King 2.3.6 ICS 4.0.4 CM9 Rc2 Bulletproof
ROM EvoHd2v10final-fixedx
ROM BlueOrange Mix V1.1
question: are the wifiproblems related to the cyanogenmod roms [sorry if all off the them are not CGM roms. still a noob] at least it looks as if it is not kernelrelated

I think the all the roms with working wifi are gingerbread or lower roms, and all the ROMS with no wifi working are either ICS or jelly bean. That means it's the regional wifi issue. You need to download and install "WiFix" app and ... turn it on, or whatever you're supposed to do with it. And then try wifi again.
