Fastest ROM - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am sure this question has been asked, but what is the fastest ROM out there at the moment. I want one that is fast. It can be with or without sense. I don't mind. What are your opinions?

Probably a gingerbread rom because it seems to get higher benchmark scores or froydvillain a 2.2 rom

tasty ginger 2.0 from raduG seem fast.

Elelinux-7.0.0 this is the rom I am using and it good
here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932377

Wow, just after I created this questions and no one answered I decided to use Elelinux's other ROM and it is quite fast. Even the live walpaper I have doesn't slow down. (I have the matrix one not 3D one) it works a treat. I will try the one you are using to see if there are any differences.

Yeah but widgets list and windows animations on elelinux rom are not smooth. ;(

Sorry, excuse me for the dumb question, what do you mean widgets list and windows animations? Is that when you change screens or something like that?

Widgets list - list of widgets when you are adding widgets to homescreen.
Windows animations - example in Settings -> Date & time -> Select date format - this window is animated. In Elelinux (and other gingerbread hero roms) animation of this window is laggy and uncool.
In my opinion the fastest is Cronos Froyo 1.8.0.

Vanilla Android ROM?

Hi there,
I have a HTC Hero obviously and I was just wondering if there was a ROM I could flash to it that's basically the vanilla Android ROM. I've been looking at some custom ones but I'm not sure which ones the best.
Basically, a ROM without HTC Sense (because I prefer the white status bar and the Android UI over the HTC one).
Thanks
Use the search button. Or even better your eyes. Everyone else manages just fine like that
Ez Hero doesn't have sense...

wow, what a **** ...
but hes right ... just an a$$hole about it ..
i use ezhero v5 .. its good ...
camera wont let you take time/date stamps off ..
other than that, its pretty good.... ezhero 4was better on battery, the other vanillas are the same really, just pick a name ... i chose ezhero soley on the boot screen, animation is cool ascii android ... and it boots with visuals like a computer, see memcheck and such ...
can find the ezhero in the dev. forums.
I thought the same (about preferring Android UI) but I missed a lot of the HTC apps, keyboard, etc..
Anyway, try aHero and CyanogenMod
i would LOVE a vanila version of android!

[Q] froyo lockscreen for 2.1?

is there a way that the lockscreen for froyo can work on a 2.1 ROM? it might be the same as the regular vanilla lockscreen but the froyo one has some good animations and it makes the current wallpaper in the homescreen as the lockscreen one. so is there a way?
I'm not positive but I think the answer is no. Froyo uses API level 8, 2.1 uses API level 7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688818
^^check out this thread, It is pretty much the same as your question but he is trying to get the froyo launcher on 2.1 instead of the lockscreen.
PS:You should just use a froyo rom, their are some great ones on the forums.
ok thanks i would use froyo but theres alot of downsides to froyo especially on eris

Like what? The only problem I could think of was camera preview not working, but that has been fixed recently.

i have that for 2.1 but i tried froyo and i like how the lockscreen hides the homescreen using the current wallpaper and it has the music controls. also i can add my own message on it
White widow has the same lockscreen it may be a cyanogen mod thing.
can i extract that and install in to any rom?

There's a little confusion here, which is understandable.
Everyone is assuming the OP wants Stage UI version 1.6, and based upon his original post I would have as well. But that's not what he wants. What he wants is the drop-down tab bar that appeared on Dell Streaks running Donut (Android 1.6). As you can see the version numbers are the same.
Unfortunately for the OP, there is no version of that tab bar for 2.2.2.

My apologies, i didn't realise he wanted that.
You cannot have some things from Donut and Eclair, your options are, find a alternative or downgrade, downgrading is crazy though... i like the Donut screen lock, but i wouldn't downgrade to Donut to have it.
No I didn't want the tabs, as i said earlier, because in the other thread it was clarified that it can't be done in later FW-s
I only want a launcher which can really use the landscape mode, cause I use my devices in that position only, and the stock 1.6 launcher seems to be really good at that, buit all the launchers is optimized for portrait use, so they not very good at accomodating landscape

[Q] whats the best rom for the aria?

hey guys was just wondering what do you think is the best ive been using nightlys for ages im thinking of changing?
what do you think i should change to?
Well, in my opinion it's a taste thing. Like what is the best color?
I have tried CM6, CM7, and Liberated Aria FR008. For my taste, I like the latest CM7 stable release 7.1.0 the best in terms of interface, settings, battery life, etc.
I was a Sense rom fan for the longest time but with the latest CM7 stable release, I have to say CM7 hands down. As TR_HTC said, it is simply better in all the categories. I only miss some of the Sense Widgets and apps but nothing that I can't live without.

No. You'll just have to get a theme for the rom or launcher (or a new launcher if anything). See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970459 (you still won't get sense widgets though).

Replacing CM7 lockscreens?

hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

okay i understand thank you.
Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.
Go to Cyanogenmod Configs > Tablet > Disable lockscreen

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS
Google play store link to widget locker
