I've seen a lot of videos on youtube showing the interface of the standard Diamond and agree that it is an amazing phone but the UI lag is a bit concerning. I've read numerous posts about updates to the firmware that address the lag issue so it is much better. Can anyone point me in the direction of video clips that show the UI with the modficiation so I can get a feel for how slick it is?
I already expect it won't be as good as iPhone but as long as it is quite responsive then I will be extremely happy.
TIA

Top stuff. Thanks for the video link. Seems a lot slicker and something I'd be really happy with.
It's not really switching faster, but the background moves first. I have 1.35 and the switch takes the same, except that the front and back move at the same time. IMO the UI is still very sluggish and is hardly worth anything except eye candy.
The 1.35 ROM versions are hardly usable right now, especially because of the very low battery life. The 1.37 ROM versions are much better from every point of view, unfortunately flashing your Diamond with a non-officially available ROM could void the warranty. Even if the ROM is signed by HTC and hasn't been modified, if this particular ROM isn't available on the HTC support site for your region, you may void your warranty. Caution!
Well, fortunately there is now the official HTC release - so hopefully things will get better
do we really need so many competing roms? it;s hard to choose between the many 2.1 roms for my hero

Yeah, we do. The ROM devs are in most cases developing the ROMs to suit their own needs for a ROM, but also so kind that they share them with others, while other devs are doing it to learn about android, development etc. If you have problems choosing which ROM to use, stay with the stock - otherwise flash, experiment and have fun!
As a general rule, the more chefs you have, the better the overall quality of all the ROMs.
Whilst it is "logical" to try to have several chefs work on a single ROM, the reality of the situation is that tight collaboration is very difficult when you are talking about something that is generally only developed in peoples spare time.

It is a bit annoying to see 6 replicas of one rom, just with a few different apps chucked in. That's the nature of Android development these days though. I think it was Cyanogen that suggested that a proficiency with Winzip makes you a 'developer' these days...
Personally, I don't see it as a competition. If I could help out Benhaam or Lox in any way with one of their roms, I would.
To be totally truthful, pick ANY of the current Eris builds, and the chances are there isn't much of a difference between them. It's better to pick a rom with an active dev and following in my opinion.
don't worry i have flashed happily, as I can't live with stock 1.5 (come on htc, please release 2.1 for the hero). just felt like whinging after studying this forum to try and guess which rom would best suit me and finding not much clear info.
am running neo 1.3 (2.1+sense) on my hero, and stock 2.1 on my nexusone. very interesting to compare and contrast the two - unsure if I prefer sense or not, but do like (need) the htc exchange client having calendar support (hey googgle, why doesn't stock android have this?)
as i tested all Eris rom here villain3.3 is most stable but i still revert back to SenseHero 1.6 which more smoother run & it is an ART WORK! Hope the offcial 2.1 for hero will out soon ='(
ahh finally i can vent my frustration. its not the amount of roms that are available that bothers me as the devs on here are quite good but the way they dont seem to work together nor communicate. i may be rom. all the devs on here are busy working with this bugged up Eris dump and everything else has been neglected. All the Eris roms are more or less the same and all more or less offer the same positives and negatives. Vanillian which is a fantastic rom has all been neglected so all we have to flash apart from Ahero 0.52 are all the same thing. it doesnt take long to flash all the 2.1 Eris dumps roms on offer before you find yourself running back to MCR or Sensehero due to that bugged up dump. it would be nice to see some form of variety in this forum and not every chef offering 2.1 Eris roms which are far from complete. each dev adds something different to their roms but alas they do not make that mucvh different to the end product. come on guys not all of us want to use 2.1 Eris dumps, we also like the vanilla options too. soon when Legend dump is available we will have similar 6 roms with Legend roms. there is not much vareity in this forum and it be nice to see more vareity on here. i have flashed them all, yep all the bugged up Eris ports and always head back to 1.5 for various reasons...........however Ahero 0.52 is there to save the day and offer a different alternate solution.
please dont flame me for expressing my opinion. feel free to express yours as i have done mine.

Actually, the devs communicate quite well via Twitter. If I'm not mistaken, Lox and Behnaam likes to communicate via Gtalk (from what I followed).

No, we don't. And we shouldn't. Why?
Look at the Linux distribution arena (and not only).
They're a lot, but none is really viable on everyday desktop/laptop use.
The reason is simple: fragmentation.
Fragmentation of (scarce) human resources.
Fragmentation of (even more scarce) economic resources.
Fragmentation of the (ever growing) user base.
The same goes for the graphical desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, Xfce to name a few).
On the opposite side we have the internet browser and the *BSD OSes.
We actually have much fewer actors, with stabler products, better engineering.
What I'd like to see in the Android arena is a very stable and effective software base on top of which a relatively large number (I'd say about 5 and less than 10) of UI tweakers and developers push the user experience to the max.
But, again, a single high quality software base (that is the kernel, the system libraries and so on).
This's my EUR 0.005 contribution.
Linux technically is not the OS Linux it is the kernel, its not fragmented at all, as the developers submit the changes and its decided by a set group, the same as any closed dev team would do but they are at different world locations.
Because of how BSD is closed off it takes 3x longer for new software to be implemented..and driver are a nightmare
If the rom dev sub foum was not so cluttered with things that don't belong in it like this thread that should really be in the Q&A section, it would be easier to keep track of the roms..

Linux is the kernel. And GNU/LInux is the (basic) OS with all the GNU stuff.
So I can say that 99% of Linux kernel based distros are Linux.

It is fragmented. Take an application at random, let's say Openoffice or GIMP.
You cannot just download ONE aplication and install it on any distro. That's not because of the packaging medium (RPM, DEB, TGZ etc.) but because of software and library dependecies and other system dependent choices.
If you choose, let's say, Ubuntu 9.10 and the package (version) you need is not available for it, then it's up to you to invest in time in makeing an hand made installation ...

That's because the human resources are scarse, not because of the "closed" model. And then you have a choice among super-distributions on top of FreeBSD, though.

I can count not less than half a dozen of 2.1 based ROMs all with very minor differences each other. And the same goes for the 1.5.
I cannot swear on it, but I think that the biggest gap is in less than 5% of the whole system.

5%? How did you come to such a precise conclusion?
Do share your calculations with us.
I guess you didn't take into account some of the AOSP based ROMs.
I do agree; there's A LOT of cloning; a guy taking someone's ROM, repackaging with some "customization", and calling it his own work.
This is one of the reasons I totally left the WinMo devving, but I knew it was a matter of time till the same happened to the Android scene.
That's sad, but true.
I don't even care about some of the guys calling themselves "devs", just because they "released" a few roms, who don't even give credit to the people, thanks to whom they learnt/started.
As long as they get enough attention to their thread, they no longer care about the aformentioned. What for? ... It's like a machine which just turns itself after a while.
The more ROMS we have the better, the thread title is a backwards title.
No calculation. Simply I compare performances and features from 3.3 to 3.4.
3.4 is no more stable or fast than 3.4, to me at least.
Memory footprint is almost the same. Not FC in aither ROM ...
And I bet that if nprussel brought anything bigger than 5% he would have put it into the annoucement.
Instead it shows little more than new application list and a GUI theme.

My point about the fragmentation was in relation to the kernel not a minor thing like dependency's that really has no relation to fragmentation, The Distribution is called a Linux based distribution not "Linux" in an entirety!
Anyway... I know what the above posters are getting at when it comes to people making a minor change to other peoples dumps and claiming to be dev's when really they are nothing more than cooks.
No to take away any credit for what the produce but if you look at the g1 forums it seems a mass of good work, but very little low level development actually happens on the hero side.

Hey man.. Am I missing something or aren't you cooking anymore?
OT: i totally agree by what you say about releasing a rom that just doesn't need any hardcore coding. Even I without any linux skills can "cook" (read: remove / add apps) This is not creating a rom. This is personalizing one to suit your needs.
Creating a rom imho is coming up with new (speed) hacks or options to make it more functional. Or better looking. From what I "learned" even creating a skin isn't that easy as it was with winmo with all that scripting.
my 2k
Meh, I have a G1, its pretty obvious when roms stand out, for the G1
SuperD (1.6)
FastTest (1.6) based on SuperD, but bleeding edge
CyanogenMod (1.6) Stable, more than anything
OpenEclair (2.1) Collaborative project between ChrisSaywer/WesGarner
and for 2.1 sense roms, I normally run a KingKlick rom...
it seems, for stability, and general acceptance that Fresh is the way to go, but there are other builds that use his stuff for a base that are more bleeding edge but have improvements... its pretty easy to see whats popular just by a view/post count on the thread.

I suppose 5% is close. I didn't claim it would be significantly quicker. It's definitely quicker though.
Anyway, that's besides the point.
Benham is leading the way right now in my opinion, but I have just got my hands on a Legend leak, that I have got to boot on the Hero. I'm currently trying to get all the hardware working (Wifi, mic, back speaker, GPS all not working). I have asked a couple of other developers for some help, and we'll probably release it as a community release.
I think the rom developers should start working together and create teams. Maybe some could focus on fixing stability issues, some on improving speed and compatibility, some on implementing features from other rom releases and some on optimizing and implementing themes. There is a optimum for the OS, so why put a lot of time and effort into fixing the same bugs and problems over and over again in different rom releases? The differences lay within the themes and included features, which could be made available as separate (and optional) installer packages. So I say..... organize and collaborate! Independent Android development (independent from the manufacturers) as a community will be much more powerful and professional.
Different branches could emerge from the Hero branch easily, making the developers base grow and 'interaction' between the different branches a lot easier.

Was all the fuss about the cap worth it? Aside the screen tearing, is there really a noticeable difference? Do games run better? Is scrolling really smoother?
fix what fix ?
Where is this fix? and how do we tell what screen we have?
30 FPS fix is what this guy is talking about.

Yes the difference is quite noticeable, whole phone runs alot smoother and faster, better touch response, etc. That being said the screen tearing is pretty bad and it obviously comes with the other problems of breaking the camera and all that.
Anyway to those who might have been able to test it, Would say it has noticeable difference even if it didn't. What I mean is the folks who probably were not aware of it before are the ones who would most likely just jump and say it's better. Compared to those who noticed right off the back, if that makes sense.

I have hardware revision 003 but I haven't tried the fix yet. My lag was never really that significant in the first place and I'm planning on replacing this when Sprint gets their updated batches with the light leak and screen fixes so I don't want to root yet. I'd rather hold off until there's a stable ROM with all the features working. (Camera is a necessity, unfortunately)
This is my first Android phone, and coming from a Touch Pro 2, I found the responsiveness slightly better on the the Evo than on the TP2.
I have a friend who has the Sprint HTC Hero, and I noticed his screen shifts and overall responsiveness to be waaaaay better.
I can say now having applied the fix, the UI is as snappy on the EVO as it is on the Hero. As far as games go, it's a lot smoother.
So I'll say this, from the perspective of a first time user, minus the bad press and forum posts, the Evo is a great phone. With the fix, it's even better!
Edit: Let me add that while I was not pleased in having a phone where the features were halved, this was still the phone for me. Having a technical background AND knowing HTC's history, as well as the history of the devs (ie GPS functionality in the Moguls), I knew it was a matter of time for the fix to be found. But I can definitely view this from the perspective of the non-technical person who don't want to fool with rooting anything. They want something that works out of the box. I may not agree with the "whining" of some, I could relate.
another ice cream sandwich-The next generation
i know ics look is a majorly overhauled android,and the way it operates is different
but besides the look and a few tweaks..what does ics actually bring to the table.
only phones equipped with nfc,and face unlock etc will be able to use most of what ics brings? i know nfc is a bye bye on the dhd,but can the face unlock and various odds and ends be used for us..? i know or at least heard battery life is different on the ics build currently in development,the battery life is really good
The devs are nearly there so all good.cant wait to try it out daily
im still pissed off htc didnt add a secondary camera on ours lol.Suprising really for the date it was released.
There is a lot under the hood that has been revised and improved upon. Have a read of this for the main things they've been changing that you'll notice as an end user:
http://www.androidauthority.com/android-2-3-gingerbread-vs-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-37742/
It seems to me over all, that it's a merging between handsets and tablets.
Personally I don't think many versions are seamless enough, and welcome ICS to all devices to be unified...
It's a lot more stable and smooth, simply put. The functionality has increased greatly by simplicity. Also, I found that on 3.2.x (Honeycomb), there is no way to actually "kill" apps in a conventional sense. With ICS you just swipe them away. Aaaahhh, relief. Minor, but pivotal change from Honeycomb.
Not bashing previous versions, they are all fantastic, but I've been using experimental ICS roms on various phones for daily use, and I for one will never go back!
I was surprised to notice that there is no official version of Lineage OS for the Pixel. Then looking around it just seems like there aren't that many ROMs for the Pixel. And I'm surprised to see that a year after release there still seem to be difficulties with root and using TWRP.
Am I right in perceiving that the Pixel has gotten less development interest than Nexus devices of the past? If so, why?
I ordered a Pixel 2 (to replace my Nexus 4--which has offical lineage support) and was assuming that it would get all the usual developer love that I've exeperienced in the past. Now I'm a bit worried that it will be difficult just to root it and do nandroid backups.
Thanks for any thoughts and observations.
I think they are having issues with the increased security and dual OS partitions. Will take some time.

Yeah, I saw that the dual partitions are an issue and the dm-verity check (don't quite understand what that is). But still, the Pixel has been out for a year. Nexus phones usually had tons of development by that point. I imagine if the devs were really into this phone there would be more interest. Especially the lack of official Lineage OS support, the most fundamental of all ROMs. There are unofficial versions of Lineage OS for the Pixel, so it works. I guess that's why I was starting to get the impression that the Pixel is not that popular with the devs (compared to past Nexus devices).
Price doesn't help either, I'm less likely to mess with a phone that costs a grand. Also prices it out of the hands of those that just want to tinker.
I also wonder how much baseline performance plays a role. The Pixel is really quite great out of the box, it's the first phone I've owned in recent times that I haven't had the desire to root, mod, rom, etc. custom roms are generally known to improve the end user experience, can't say that has been my experience on the Pixel and that's a big reason why I've decided stock is best for me.

For me ROMs have never been about performance, they are about features. They often have more privacy features and remove some of the pernicious behind the scenes stuff. There are more options for quick settings tiles. You can control the notification LED better. I don't want a total makeover; I'm happy with basically stock Android. But there are a lot of little things that are improvements to me. I guess this is why I especially like Lineage OS, since it is not a heavily modified OS. Also you sometimes get updates for security problems sooner (the once a month standard from Google is pretty lame--in Linux security patches are pushed out the day they are ready). As for rooting, it lets you use the iptables firewall in the Linux kernel and programs like adaway, as well as a root file manager (there are many times I find it useful to browse the system files); there is Titanium backup that is so much more powerful than any other backup tool that requires root; and a rooted device can also often get around issues with tethering. And having a custom recovery like TWRP allows nandroid backups, which have saved me from disaster so many times. So I think even on a phone like the Pixel, there's a lot to be gained from ROMs, rooting, minor mods, a custom recovery.
Anyway, I guess maybe it is just about the cost of the Pixel. Or perhaps the complexity of the dual partitions--are the Pixel phones the only ones that do this? I wonder what new phones get the most developer attention these days, if it's not the Pixels.
No, there's significantly less development, regardless of what a few users say (when I mentioned it a week ago after coming from a 6P, people were shocked when I said there's no development lol). I had to point out that 5 ROMs does not even compare to the 30 ROMs of the 6P.
At first, the pixel seemed like a downgrade to me. But after using it a week or so, it is a little smoother I got, and has better battery life, which is awesome. But those are about the only pros. Camera on mine is the same quality as the 6P, and I can't get used to the crappy downfiring speakers (last 2 devices had dual front facing).
All in all, it's an ok phone. It's about 2" taller than it should be, due to Google love affair with gigantic bezels. Haha. But sometimes using a bezeless phone one handed if tough, because your thumb can't reach the navbar.

While custom ROMs may not be about performance to you, I know that it is to others. I think there are a lot of variables at play, and I don't discount the out of the box experience as one of them. Take that custom ROMs are prone to decreased stability, especially with the Pixel and the argument for advantages of custom ROMs gets diminished fairly quickly. Unless of course you must have all the frivolous tweaks at the cost of stability and performance.

I agree, this phone is pretty hard to improve on. I'm missing all the flashing and tweaking but I'm coming to the conclusion that stock is the ticket. The stock firmware doesn't feel like a compromise anymore, it feels like it works best. With payment via phone and bank accounts on board, security is also an issue I've not worried about before but I guess I need to deal with.

I didn't say no one cares about performance. In fact, I only said that there are a lot of things ROMs do other than performance, so even if that issue is less with a phone like the Pixel, it hardly negates the many and varied reasons that people like ROMs. So I was just suggesting that reducing it all to performance as the fundamental issue, I think, oversimplifies how varied and complicated the custom ROM community of users and devs is.
Anyway, my main question in the OP wasn't really why do people like or dislike custom ROMs, nor was it do they think they are unnecessary for the Pixel. My main question was, do people think my perception is correct that devs are less interested in the Pixel than in past Nexus phones?
Personally, I believe not all developers are created equal. The pixel design and new os introduced complexities beyond the abilities of the cut and paste developer. The truly talented developers are either still hard at work or have concluded, no not worth it.
Who knows?
There are many roms out there. There are just not on xda anymore.
Development is just so much harder on the pixel, so we need to wait till the first running custom rom is out there so the other devs can pick from there. It's already been working hard on it.
Development is not so high cause a dev need the device and not every dev has the money to buy a 1000 $ device every year.
Hopefully some developers fell into some pixels when Google started giving them out as replacements for 6Ps. We'll have to wait and see.
I still suck at G+. I can't get the hang of how to search it for roms, or even how to actually get the rom, when I know a developer has one on their page. I wish Google could have tried out the service before they released it, maybe they would have noticed how difficult it can be - or maybe it's just the developers and how they organize their page...who knows.
