Well, we have a bunch of roms for hour HERO, in one rom the camera works at 5mpx, in another at 3.
We've opengl working and not working.
In another rom we have Sense UI, in another we don't have it...
So, why don't you unify all those efforts and create a unique rom with
camera working
sense/non-sense (2 version of the same rom)
And all other stuff???
Is this idea so bad?
They are all based on different Kernals (the basis of the rom) so therefore they are built up differently leading to different things working and not working.
It may be possible to get everything working but certainly would nto be a quick and easy task.
Best thing to do is think of what you regularly use and pick whatever 2.1 rom suits your needs until we get a fully working 2.1 dump.
I think, at this point, i'll wait for a HTC official update, and i'll keep using Exit93 roms...
I second that.
As a fairly long time xda-user i often find it frustrating to find a good rom for my phone.
Just the other day i got my hero and this time there seems to be slightly fewer roms floating around but it's still pretty hard to find a suitable one.
I think alot of us have a good idea of what exactly we want and alot of roms have a bunch of stuff we really dont care about as much as the chef.
What i would really appreciate is a clean rom with a repository of optional components, i don't mind there being a chinese keyboard, but please make it optional.
If i could i would love to get in to the cooking game, i've thought about it several times over the last few years. Alas, i don't know where to start, at least not with Hero.
If anyone can point me to a good starting place i would love to give it a try and make the rom im talking about.
Cheers

i believe CKDroid is the one for you. it comes with a small kitchen (windows only) to enable you to customize the rom. it's quite stable too
also ... look here for a start to your cooking career.

this is wrong. all the 2.1 roms are based on the exact same kernel from the only leaked 2.1 rom we have. as soon as the sources are out a lot will change, but until then the kernel is one of the biggest limitations.

kernel != rom
there is only one binary 2.6.29 kernel for the 2.1 roms. compare the roms, you will see that the kernel is always:
Code:
2.6.29-8d063048

even if some (one) devs try to make it look like they have a custom kernel...

There is only one set of freely available source code for Android 2.1 and that is the AOSP version. Note that this is quite distinct from the kernel source code, and is license separately.
For the most part, the Sense-based 2.1 ROMs will be using precompiled elements taken from leaked HTC ROMs, though may have some AOSP elements too.
When HTC do finally release 2.1 for Hero, they must then make the kernel source code as per the terms of the GPL. However, HTC do not ever have to release the source code for their version of Android because the Apache Software Licence (ASL) that Google released Android under is not a copyleft license.

None of the current 2.1 ROMS is worth using, they're all just useful for experiments with Android 2.1 - no more than that.
I'm happy with MCR 3.1 so far, it's fast stable, working and relyable, nothing of that could be said of any 2.1 custom ROM so far. So please wait 2 or 3 more weeks until we finally get a real working 2.1 ROM from HTC.

VillianRom is currently offering me everything I need to use in a ROM with no issues at all.
Sure some people have problem with different roms but thats because everyone has different needs and uses with their devices.

Using ROM by ieftm, eagerly awaiting a sense rom with stock dailer and contacts.
I really like nickerberli's ROM. It's just like stock, but with root and busybox. Perfect! I like to add modifications myself, so I think this is the best and cleanest ROM out there.
Great work!
It looks like most of those are just rooted.
Some missing system apps, but they are pretty much all identical.
Pretty pointless

Well, surely if they make one unbranded, clean rom, having all developers contribute to it creating a community rom.
This would be easier for me to find a standard rooted 2.2 without bloatware. Especially at such an early stage of releasing 2.2 sense where all the roms are near enough the same. Cant wait for the MCR kitchen tbh, so all this rant is mainly out of frustration.
But a community kitchen, where u can select different features of different roms would be nice, such as the brilliant cyanogen features of the non sense froyo ontop of something like defrost, which just...works (amazing well)
The title contains the word "official" so there should be only ROMs released after 01.08.2010 and based on 2.09 in the list.
2.06 was not "official" as far as I know.
If I am wrong, then why is LeeDroid not on that list?
It's my favourite and according to this poll one of the most popular.
trying ... NexTSense_2.0a_Official_OTA_2.2_FRF91_by_NeoPhyTe_without_radio.zip
tried ...DanneJo_rom_v1-Orginal_HTC_2.2_Sense.zip
I use #1 atm and it's great. I will most likely go back to the great neophyte once there's an 2.2 official (2.09) version out.

Ok peeps! It's time someone stepped up and posted a thread that addresses the most critical of (the technically inclined) humanity's issues:
ROMS - From the bunch out there, which one is your favorite and why?
I'll start this poll by posting the ones available in the Android Development forum. If none apply, please post what you are using and why.
Not sure if we can change polls after they started so probably can't add any options after the initial post, but suggestions might make it into a next edition. For now I'll post 20 ROMS
Let's get our 'droid on people!
Bumping back to top so more people can see the poll. Would be great if some admin could sticky this poll for the duration so we could get more participants and maybe get a better sense of what the community is doing / using.
Been trying out a few ROMs lately, though currently happy with Froyo DeLite, it's pretty much the stock Froyo release by HTC just with root and no new hboot, just what i was looking for.
I'm running this one: [ROM] Official 2.2, with: busybox, old A2SD+, OpenVPN (TUN), EXT4 support, 802.11N by ieftm. Which one is it in your list?

LOL... When preparing this poll I had counted 20 ROMs. When I finished filling out the forms, I had 19 and an open space and couldn't figure out what was missing so I used the 20th spot and filled it in with "others". Guess now I know which one I forgot

Which ROM did you most like up till now?
Personaly, so far I have to say I liked LeeDroid Mod and Cyanogen. If I had to choose I would be hard pressed. But despite that I am still stuck on a Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo).
For me, I love the purity and simplicity of a non-sense ui. Hence my passion for Cyanogen (amongst the non-sense mods). But I must confess that I miss Friendstream, and clock / weather widget and animations, and also the HTC calendar. This brings me back to LeeDroid. If I were somehow able to get these 3 things on a Cyanogen Mod, I'd be in trouble because then I'd have to choose one of them !
Neophyte
I like Sense. It's the only phone skin I've come across that I think adds something to the phone UI.
I've tried Dj Droid and Leedroid, and all the Neophyte ROMs. I've stuck with the latter as they're really quick, seem totally stable and basically I can't find anything wrong with them!

I think there are 2 NeoPhyTe ROMs out there, right? NexTSense and NeoPhyTe ROM. Which one do you prefer?
I'm confused between so many ROMs and so many changes. What I want is one rooted but first of all STABLE (without any bugs) ROM. I don't need nothing special added or removed from official one.
If someone can suggest the one - I would be thankfull.
Me too which one, and especially how to ROOT for lamers like us?

Please note this isn't a poll to figure out which ROM is king! No, it's just intended to give us a sense of what's going on in the community and what people like and are looking for so that hopefully, new developers can take that info and use it, either tweaking their existing ROM, or making new ones based on the ones people most like, or even creating something that is 180º different and goes in another direction.

Same as above for the first part of your post. Check "unrevoked" for the rest.
I've always had Modaco roms for my Android handsets (T-Mobile Pulse, HTC Hero & then Desire). They have always been extremely stable. For a close-to-stock 2.1 Sense (Eclair) ROM, Modaco r3.1 was the best for me!
I tried LeeDroid Mod 1.3a (to try out Froyo) and haven't looked back. I've decided not to update to any of the other versions (1.5, 1.6, 1.7 etc) as everything works perfectly for me!
Unless there's a significant reason to update (specifically battery life), then I'm staying on LeeDroid 1.3a.

I have tried a lot of them and now I´m using Defrost 2.5a, I know it´s not based on 2.09 Froyo but I want to try and leave Sense Ui once and for all.
Qudrant just got me 1441 and Linpack around 39-40 all the time.
I´m gonna install that Launcher Pro Plus and Beautiful Widgets for the weather and such.
If I wanted to go back to Sense, I would choose my fellow spaniard Neophyte´s 1.4a or 2.1b (both rock).

Das que é bem verdade que os tugas andam por toda a parte!!!
I tried it yesterday and actually was impressed with it, but still not my cup o' tea. Still, I would say yeah, one of the best.
We have got many good developers here working on different ROMS.
I just would like to know what ROM are you all using at the moment and why.
I used most of the time Sense rom from Leedroid. I love his boot image and the fact it is sense rom. I tried Sense HD and I like it, but until the camera works is no good for me for day to day use. Last couple of days I use MIUI and it is really different but nice (like iphone OS but on better device)
I've used Defrost, Opendesire, Villainrom, SupervillainHD and Oxygen. Like the ASOP roms the best, as they are the fastest, allow me to choose the addons more (not 3 or more programs for one task, if i don't want to use Sense apps), and are more versatily (at least, appear to me to be so).
Moved to general as this is in no way pertaining to ROM development.
fair enough. I just tought the poll might help people to choose a rom to use/try.
I am using pinky desire classsic at the moment .
CM 6.1 RC - cause simply I hate to update alot. I'm considering it the latest satisfying my needs!
using pays sense rom

By sense rom he probably mean roms like leedroid etc.
On that assumption I voted stock as I'm running the stock 2.29.405.2 WWE ROM
Why? As it does all I need it to
OpenDesire
I went from stock ROM to OpenDesire 4.0.36. I do not miss Sense at all and BT keyboard now works (why, HTC, oh why?). The only thing I miss from Sense is the weather widget.
Too bad OpenDesire will not be updated any longer as from the final 4.1 version. I hope it gets Gingerbread (2.3) in the final build.
Leedroid, because it has apps2sd by default and is pretty clean and has some other nice little touches (but still pretty close to stock) like a transparent notification drawer
I tried all rom types, but in the end I return to Sense. People who say AOSP or Cyanogen are faster have clearly never used a sense rom. It's at least on par and scrolling is smoother.

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you'll feed him for a lifetime. So, I'm going to directly answer your question, but also give you some more background so that in the future, you'll have a better understanding of how these ROMs work.
There are 3 primary types of ROM out for the Incredibe; Sense, Sense(less), and AOSP.
Sense - A sense-based ROM, obviously, has HTC Sense. These ROMs are extracted from a phone, then ported to the Incredible, and/or customized as needed. Most Sense ROMs are actually based off an official Incredible release (Redemption, Virtuous, Skyraider Sense, etc.). Some are based off the Evo (Redemptive Revolution), while others are ports from the Desire Z or Desire HD. In order for a Sense-based ROM to be 2.3 (gingerbread), HTC has to first port Sense to Gingerbread, which they haven't done yet. So, there's no Sense-based 2.3 ROM out, yet.
Sense(less) - Really, all a Sense(less) ROM is, is a Sense-based ROM with Sense elements removed or hidden. This is to preserve the stability of a Sense-ROM while offering the look and customization of an AOSP ROM.
AOSP - Android Open Source Project; These are the ROMs where a developer takes the a stock Android version, ports it to your phone, and may or may not customize the crap out of it. These are the ROMs where you'll get Gingerbread. The most popular seems to be Cyanogen(mod). CM7 is in the nightly phase, which is an advanced beta, but very stable with only minor issues. It's currently based on Android 2.3.2
So, to answer your question, there are a few Gingerbread ROMs out, none of which use Sense. Cyanogen(mod) is a good place to start.
Your post should be a sticky or a FAQ. This makes perfect sense and really cleared up any confusion I had. Thanks!

So I thought Skyraider (3.5 and Athena) were Gingerbread based ROMs. I've been looking around, but I'm still a little confused. Which ones are Gingerbread based ROMS and which ones are currently the most bug-free?

Thanks

Removing gingerbread rom HELP!
I am new to the xda websites and forums alltogether. I rooted my phone about 3 weeks ago, and found a rom by xda to try an alpha version of gingerbread. I need to return my phone to either the rooted stage it was previously to adding the gingerbread, or completely unroot it altogether. I imagine that someone has probably posted about this already, but I was unable to find it. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Please excuse my idiocy.
Here is probably the best place to start researching:

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you'll feed him for a lifetime. So, I'm going to directly answer your question, but also give you some more background so that in the future, you'll have a better understanding of how these ROMs work.
There are 3 primary types of ROM out for the Incredibe; Sense, Sense(less), and AOSP.
Sense - A sense-based ROM, obviously, has HTC Sense. These ROMs are extracted from a phone, then ported to the Incredible, and/or customized as needed. Most Sense ROMs are actually based off an official Incredible release (Redemption, Virtuous, Skyraider Sense, etc.). Some are based off the Evo (Redemptive Revolution), while others are ports from the Desire Z or Desire HD. In order for a Sense-based ROM to be 2.3 (gingerbread), HTC has to first port Sense to Gingerbread, which they haven't done yet. So, there's no Sense-based 2.3 ROM out, yet.
Sense(less) - Really, all a Sense(less) ROM is, is a Sense-based ROM with Sense elements removed or hidden. This is to preserve the stability of a Sense-ROM while offering the look and customization of an AOSP ROM.
AOSP - Android Open Source Project; These are the ROMs where a developer takes the a stock Android version, ports it to your phone, and may or may not customize the crap out of it. These are the ROMs where you'll get Gingerbread. The most popular seems to be Cyanogen(mod). CM7 is in the nightly phase, which is an advanced beta, but very stable with only minor issues. It's currently based on Android 2.3.2
So, to answer your question, there are a few Gingerbread ROMs out, none of which use Sense. Cyanogen(mod) is a good place to start.

Cyanogen also has a stable build which is based on Gingerbread 2.3.3 where the nightly build is currently based on 2.3.4 and I can attest to the fact that build #108 is bug free.
