whats the fastest ROM HTC Hero can be on? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i feel it a bit laggy and i'm running out of internal space
so what ROM can make it super fast without using TasksPanel to kill things from time to time and has support to store applications on the memory card ?
arabic language addon with the above would be even better!
Thanks

Take a look at Cronos Droid Might be the fastest... even faster than Villain 6.0 and others jit enabled roms!

fastest but not 2.1

look at my Signature i think it's the fastest 2.1 rom

I find the Kimera 1.6 ROM with 650MHz overclock kernel makes my Hero fly, especially compared to 2.1 ROMs, such as Cronos 1.3.

Try Cronos Droid first! I tried bot yesterday...No way! Cronos is much faster!

do you think kimera 1.6 is faster than 1.8?

But why not publishing some numbers? Just quote the performance application you used and the publish your numbers.
Or, better, let's all agree on a single performance application.
Anything like "I think/feel/see xyz being the fastest" is simply an opinion, not a fact.

But some roms (especially those with jit enabled) scores really high in for exampel linpack. However they can still feel quite laggy in menu's etc.
imo kimera is the fastest right now. and i tried most of the custom roms.

So let's check JIT and non.JIT roms separately.

Kimera 1.8 running at 690mhz
Linpack: 3.0 mflops

aHero
aHero is not only very, VERY fast but also quite stable.
It is, by far, my favourite Vanilla ROM.

Sorry, I meant 1.8.

Cronos Droid Version 1.3

There isn't a faster Rom than kimera 1.8 and thats a fact.

SuperHero 1.1.0 gets over 5 Mflops in some cases with JIT and O/C.
It's the fastest 2.1 ROM AFAIK.

Right now I'd rather see more functions than speed. Most of the roms I've tried are stable, but missing one or more functions like MMS, Facebook sync, has green tint, etc etc.
Speed (as well as size) isn't everything.

The 1.5 ROMs are all pretty damn good in that respect.

Superhero 1.1 is the fastest with JIT and OC of 710 MHz i get 4.522 MFLOPS

I've tested several roms including CronosDroid, Villain 5.5 and SlideVillain. I've found that if you don't want to overclock, Legendroid seems to be the fastest. It just feels faster than the others. Whether this is reflected in benchmarks I don't know, I was not using linpack when I was exploring the different roms available.
I've been running the Ben10 Legendary kernel over Legendroid for the last 6hrs and it works well, but I haven't run other overclocked roms so I can't make a comparison there.
Overall though, Legendroid seems to have a speed about it that the others lack. Whether you're flicking through contacts, using the browser or jumping between homescreens, other roms feel laggy compared to it. Especially if you're a sense junky, the Legend ports have far more stuff built into them compared to other roms.

What makes 2.1 so slow?

Hi
I've had my Hero for aboutttt 7 weeks now and i've been tinkering mainly with 1.5 ROMs.
I've settled with MoDaCo 3.2 which is blazingly fast and has some decent features.
Recently i've tried some 2.1 roms, Villain 5.4, BeHero+ and some others. I tried Villain 5.5 yesterday and kept it until today.
I really liked it, the stock look, the incredible amount of features and general improvements to the interface from 1.5.
Now. Every 2.1 ROM i've used has had something in common. They're all incredibly slow. I mean, once the app is running it's generally ok but switching between apps can be incredibly slow.
Closing an app and sliding between the home screens is extremely sluggish and opening messages can take up to 10 secs.
Keyboard input is about as flat as the expression on my face. And once the keys are recognised the phone vibrates as much as a sex toy...
Don't get me wrong, Villain5.5 is probably the best 2.1 ROM out there, it just doesn't seem to perform well.
So what makes 2.1 so slow?
Is it because it's a stock kernel? I see MoDaCo has "Teknologist"?
Is the Hero just too lame?
This has probably been answered more times than you're willing to count. I'm just frustrated to the point at which i stuck my phone in my mouth and proceeded to nibble on the corner.
Try SenseHero 2.2 - it's fast. Really fast, I think even faster than MoDaCo 3.2.
2.1 isn't any slower than 1.5!

I really, really disagree there
When we are talking about responsiveness anyway.
Responsiveness of any 2.1 ROMs are far beyond what I would like, VillainRom is the fastest I've used but still not what I'd like for my main phone. Esp vs ROMs like the Kimera 1.8... which is the fastest 1.5 ROM I've ever used (and now sticking to)
TBH I'm not surprised, with no official GSM Hero release, there's no fine-tuned drivers for it etc. Ports can get it running on a GSM Hero but in no way are those builds really built to be used on the phone, they're just modified by XDA Devs. I think thats what makes the wait for the 2.1 from HTC even greater because that should hopefully be the 2.1 we could all finally move to.
(...once XDA roots and tweaks it of course )
to check how fast it is, linpack is better or the benchmark - softweg one?
Running SenseHero2.2 now and have done for a couple days.
Feels very responsive and works very well
SlideVillain 1.1.0 is actually really pretty fast, and I currently use that as my everyday ROM. I used to be a devout taskiller user, but I have now uninstalled Taskiller as you just don't need one on SlideVillain.
Also, the new SuperHero ROM from Villain is unbelievably fast. It is a semi-vanilla ROM, although only available to donators for the moment in a closed Beta (there are still little bugs needing ironed out).
Not all 2.1 ROMs are slow though. The SuperHero ROM is actually as fast as the Desire in use. See http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=507 for some info about it.

ROM's with JIT Enabled

which one is the most stable with JIT enabled?
2.1 ROMs and how do you check?... benchmark results??
looking for a 4.5+ mflops with stability and Apps2SD working and with sense. battery life should be fairly good as well...

Ezhero and Vanilla eclair both top all of your requirements. Bu they are Vanilla, but Vanilla roms are usually way faster than sense roms, give one a try! Ezhero has jit, while Vanilla Eclair isnt, but both are extremely fast, and you chexk by going to the market and downloading neocore and linpack

cronos 1.5.1 with jit & o/c to 690 gives average 4.5 mflps for me.
but it doesnt look good without sense, i hate the navigation bar thing at the bottom of the homescreen...
any sense ROM getting 4.5mflops+??
people are using jit on villainrom 10.2 and getting 4.9mflops.
Im in the process of installing JIT on mine now
Update: getting 4.6 linpack scores and getting 29.2 fps on neocore without live wallpapers.
With live wallpaper running Linpack: 4.2
Install 10.2 villainrom and then follow the basic instructions here:
http://www.villainrom.grense.no/vil...sid=6ecc54daded5d6ff9f967e8849aa4215&start=30
Yup. VillainROm 10.2 with JIT works fine for the day I had it running. I removed the JIT patch only because I was willing to trade speed for battery life. I found the JIT doubled the battery drain rate.
i couldnt even start up after using JIT on 10.2...
any other ROMs besides villain that you would recommend??
u need to let it load, takes ages after it first installs. Then play with it a couple of minutes then restart it. Repeat this procedure a few times and it should speed up and work fine
edit: i dont know about other roms... why move from the best?
it just froze, had to pull the battery...
and i remember russel saying that JIT was only stable with SuperHero and not VillainROM...
when u say froze, did it stick at the white screen that says quietly brilliant?
cant remember now, i switched ROM's... i really wish I hadnt done that now

Jit for 2.1 yes or no?

I know 2.2 is a different story but I'm curious as to peoples opinions with jit on 2.1 roms since 2.2 is still a little buggy imho.
Well I am running nonsense with jit from froyo (frozen eclair) and netarchy's kernel. I get linpack scores of 19-20, 750 quadrant, and 51 fps. Take that for what its worth. I was getting higher linpack/quadrant scores with CM6, but I am unwilling to sacrifice ALL of my evo's features, namely MMS, consistant cameras, 4G, and qik. Some of these features work for some folks, but not others. You keep all of your evo specific features with a 2.1 rom...

No, it's not worth it on the Eris it's too unstable. I have a topic about this.
i agree. it's not stable at all. when i first used it, it was working great but over time it started making my phone laggy and just a bunch of problems.

How to OC the Vibrant past 1.5ghz??

so i have always run overclock kernels w/out any problems. bali at 1.2, bullet at 1.42, bullet at 1.48, and i cant remember the name, but another kernel at 1.5. all without any problems.
I want to try to clock higher. I have tried the app Tegrak, while using bullet 1.48, but it wont let me clock past 1.48.
Is the only solution to try to build a kernel myself, are there any Vibrant kernels that clock faster then 1.5, or is there an app that will let me set my clock speed above the preset?
thanks
Glitch kernel for MIUI and CM7 allows clocking up to 1.7ghz. It's rarely stable, but if your CPU is capable, use the ML or LL versions and see how far you can go.
You'll have to be using MIUI or CM7, obviously.

the thing is that im on always on 2.2 or 2.2.1
Yeah was gonna suggest glitch+cm7or miui but if you are on 2.2...
I think cmenard might have made a 1.54ghz bullet(only worked on some vibrants,needed good cpu)
can't remember if it was GB bullet or 2.2 though. google it yourself....
If you're not willing to move to MIUI or CM7, there's not much you can do. Regardless, 1.5ghz and above is rarely stable anyways. Only thing that has gotten me past 1.3ghz stable is the Glitch kernel with the medium leak CPU tweaks.
It is possible to build 1.7ghz frequencies to a froyo kernel(the kernel dev just have to know where to add it), but chances are few phones would be able to handle it, and battery life would seriously decrease at those frequencies. My opinion is 1.7ghz on a vibrant isn't worth it.

[Q] aosp + benchmarking

First off, let me say that this is more a question out of curiosity so I can learn more about the android system then real concern.
That having been said, I have noticed that AOSP roms consistently score lower on benchmark software (Antutu to be exact) then Sense based roms, even though its immediately obvious that the AOSP roms are faster in the "real world". I have read on another phone's forum that it was OpenGL based for that phone, is it the same thing for our Rezounds, or are there other factors at work?
I do realize that benchmark scores are not the end all for performance representation, however the fact remains that there has to be something that is bringing down the AOSP score, hence why this is a question of curiosity .
That is an observation I have not made. The scores are pretty much the same for me. Just ran a 6336 on Antutu. Without overclocking, I run about the same on Sense.
I just had to rerun to make sure I wasn't making an a** of myself....
Both runs were using Neo's roms (adrenaline and rage)
on adrenaline with dsb's kernel and no OC I got a 7125
on rage running the bundled kernel i got a 6577
I've never seen over 7k on this phone without some heavy overclocking. What version of dsb's kernel are you using? A lot of them don't hold stable clocks. Try a benchmark with the stock kernel. It's a much more fair test since the AOSP is basically stock.

I was running his 2.01 kernel with 192 min and 1.5 max using smartassv2 gov for the posted score.
Will have to get back to you on the stock kernel numbers as I am currently back on AOSP since I am playing around with themeing it, however for what it's worth this phone consistently (10-12 different benchmark runs) scored between 7000 and 7200 on the dsb kernel.
Yup I got over 8200 with my friends class 10 card in... With the standard one I get just under 7800 with OC and around 7200 without on DSBs kernel on 2 different roms...
Does anyone even use geekbench?

Well Rezound is built for sense so you can expect it to be, but once we get a working OC kernel you will see asop jump up in benchmarks
In Antutu, I get around 6500 with "stock" based Sense 3.6 roms. Then Sense 4 came out and the Antutu scores are 1000 higher, my top was 7700. I don't know why Sense 4 runs so much faster, especially since it was ported to our phone. AOSP I think scores were in between, 7000 range? But I'm not certain. Anyway Sense 4 is blisteringly fast, Sense 3.6 is garbage, and AOSP roms are the fastest going between apps/launcher. Once AOSP gets more solid, I will probably switch full time, but ViperREZ Sense 4 has sooooooo many features (and speed) it is hard to put down.
