ZACHARiAS_ thank you,let me try it .
im currently using a 2.1 custom rom with sense. sense has a couple feautures that i like. but ive been keen to try cronos ginger 2.3 with super kernel
lemme know what you've tried.
kudos
Hey, i am using Elelinux 2.8 which is a fantastic room... hardly any force closes, great battery life and also.. its pretty nippy.. Angry Birds the game runs pretty neatly on it to.
u can even try the new 2.3 rom. sense based. it is a htc salsa rom ported to our hero n trust me it works just fine. few issues, but they don't matter, at least to me

I would rather say Salsasense has great potential but it doesn't work fine yet. Besides the force closes, it's pretty laggy when there is anything calculated in background and apps need more time to start. If that would get fixed, it would be a great rom.
Also have a think about why you want to do this. You're entering a world of geek, and the only ROM that's guaranteed not to have problems is the stock one. That said, you should have had an OTA update taking you at least to 2.1...
Go for the cronos gingerbread roms. They are stable and fast. And get enough updates.

Cronos is nice. but if you want speed do not go for any GB roms. but go for eclair or froyo. GB is just a little to heavy..

have you tried Cronos Hero latest? its running really smooth for me with cpu at 672mhz. battery lasts 2 days with normal use
Rom
I use Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 Android 2.3.7 and I am really happy. Everythings works, it is really fast and I got up to 2 days battery life (I use fly mode at night)
2.3.7 LiGux (Coopoui) (RC2.0) is also very fast and nicely themed by Lirasina.

Hey Guys,
i just get my HTC Hero and i want to flash some nice roms. Off course, there is no best rom, but give my some "must flashed"- Roms
Whats your fave?
Greetz
Jonas
I have [3.0.1] AychTeeSee's Vanilla Cupcake ROM but you should only flash it if you want the original vanilla look or a REALY speeeeedy rom
I like TheAshMan's Defiance. Great rom using 2.1 Sense UI.
is it fast? like i said in my last post the rom that im using is realy fast so i dont really want to use a "slower" rom
Man meake a poll !!!
Me vote for BeHero 1.2.5
Which one have an outstanding battery life on the the eclair roms?
tbh, id say villian, teh development is healthy the rom is super fast and its the sense ui. Also, likely to have a nicer ui soon as was in 3.0. Check the thread out youll see the number of responses i think speaks for itself.

???? thats oooolldd
The best one is available at htcpedia. It is Pauls repack of the Taiwan update with some goodies that Benhaam added. Ridiculously fast and extremely stable. I've tried Rufianos and Villain 10 and both have their problems. Been using the one from htcpedia for 3 days now without one single problem. It's awesome.
Cronos Droid
Cronos is the best IMO. It's really fast and very stable. By far the best roms I have tried.
Feeyo is just uploading a new version 1.7 based on the official HTC release now which I think which might be up tonight.
Edit: It's been postponed til tomorrow. Still go with the 1.5.1 release its awesome and is still 2.1
feeyos cronos 1.7 has been delayed until tomorrow

definitely the best one 2.1 rom.. nothing added and not overclocked with no problems after 4-5 days using.
I hope someone will make one based on the official 2.1 for hero and removes all the non-sense (see what I did there? )

Been using that one since the 4th as well. No issues with it whatsoever.
I am looking for a super stable Vanilla ROM without extra stuff like OC, Apps2SD n all that.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
i just like to know what is the fastest Roms on HTC Hero (without lags)
can someone tell me or give me list of roms that are fasts please
Thank you in advance!!
I second this...
I haven't flashed a new ROM for some time, but I'm starting to get lots of force closes.
I was going to just upgrade phones, but I just love the simplicity of the CDMA Hero.
So what ROM is the cleanest? No bells & whistles, just reliable, fast, and smooth...
With sense:
Elelinux 2.1 reloaded
Villainrom 13
Maybe herolatte
Aosp:
Floyo
Speedmachine
Froydvillain
If you want to know the difference between Aosp and sense look into one of the infinite threads which have about the same name as this one...

If you mean official Rom, then no. There isn't even an official 2.2 Rom from HTC to the hero.

I've tested a lot of Roms and for me Elelinux 3.* is the fastest one

i agree
If you want speed and incredible battery life (over 4 days on idle and 2 on heavy usage) you can try Villainrom vr13 with adw launcher or with sense itself.
Its clean and runs like a coyote. BIP BIP!
The CronosFroyo or CronosGingerX roms... by a mile...
As for me, the best way to know that is to try out some ROMs because it all depends on how you use your phone(wifi or network, sense or adw launcher, widgets or no widgets...)
So...try some roms

Hey Guys. I have been out of the loop for a while with all these new ROMS that keep on coming out. Does anyone have any good recommendations on any ROMS?
The one i'm using right now is: Bionix Frost by Team Whiskey 2.2.1
Whats the deal with these CyanogenMod7 Roms that are out now? Any good?

At the moment all gingerbread roms have a buggy gps.
Saying that, my favorite is CM7 as it completely leaves samsung based TouchWiz instead opting for the much quicker AOSP base.
Simply Honey 3.9.1 is killer man. Its Gingerbread 2.3.4 and you can overclock it to 1.2ghz. The GPS works pretty damn good too. To me there is no better Rom out there.
Simply Honey 3.9.1 powered by a 1.2ghz Bullet kernel..Simply Badass \m/

I'm sorry, but when I flashed Simply Honey (CWM& Odin version) it always came out laggy. I'm not really sure what the big hype of that ROM is about, yes I was a fan of the Simply Honey back in the day when it was 2.2.1, but its either I'm having a bad flash or the ROM doesn't want to run on my phone.
My vote goes to bi-winning V3. Its a 2.2.1 rom and its absolutely blazing on my phone, and zero issues.
Bi-winning V3
the following two roms are stable fast and very nice battery life...

Thanks Guys. I will probably try a 2.2 ROM first than work my way up so installing is easier.
Simply honey 3.9.1 is my choice..SH 4.0 update will also be there soon..

that plus the accelerometers don't work correctly due to lack of drivers

Malice 4. Works very nicely for me. CM7 had a tendency to trash my external SD card. Maybe it was me, though...
Take a look at the one in my signature. The Toxic Muzic one. Stable, with tons of theming support. Great battery life too with Bali-X.
Malice v4 FTW check it is amazazing (misspelled on purpose) great battery and speed and the only bug i seem to have is with the gps it works.... when it wants too...

This was my experience with it as well, which is why I'm always surprised that it's so highly regarded. I even flashed it a second time after trying other roms just to see if I was mistaken but yeah, a laggly, clucky rom for me. CM7, MIUI, Asgard, etc, were all much more responsive in my experience.
Well i just owned my phone . The phone will not boot into anything.
I installed the simply honey 4.0 and when it boots the screen turns all different colors and it android voice says something about not enough space in partition. Now my screen is completely black and wont go anywhere else.
I think i somewhere i seen some say that is cause voodoo is on if you can power your phone up deactivate vodoo sorry for the caps
Nope man. my phone is done for lol. It just does a restart loop and i cannot get to the voodoo menu or anything actually.
Cannot even get into recovery mode.

You know I hate it when people flash something as important as bootloaders and don't read the whole OP, if you read the whole OP, you would know that there is different button mapping.
Any comparison?
I seem to be getting at least a day and a half on 2.2 and cant even make the day on 2.3
Is there a rom based on 2.3 with decent battery life?
I dont mind 2.2 but I would like the app2sd functionality of 2.3
Thanks
Really? I'm running 2.3 cm mod and I can easily get past a day (without hardcore gaming). I have even managed to get it to 3 days by underclocking it with setcpu. Maybe you should have a look at what's using up alot of your battery and make adjustments to it.

When I was running stock 2.2 froyo, I rarely got to more than 2 days (mainly because I didn't use setcpu).
