Is Android 1.6 possible on the rhodium? I would like that build instead. Even when i had my G1 i liked 1.6 better because of its speed. Im not complaining about the effort that has gone into 2.X builds but i was just wondering if it would have been easier to work out the kinks in 1.6 than those builds.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not, but I cannot find a ROM that has Sense 2.5 running nearly as smooth as 2.1, which is a real shame because I like the look and feel of 2.5 a lot. I've tried a large number of ROMs. I've done hard resets afterwards, and flashed back to the stock ROM beforehand, and after a few hours 2.5 will run slow coming from the home page, but scrolling and what not from there will be fine afterwards.
What has other people's experiences been with 2.5? I'd really like to get it to run as well as 2.1 does, but I understand it was made for a device that had a 1GHZ processor in it, too.
Thanks
I think a lot of us are in the same boat as you. Sense 2.5 is simply just not made for our devices.
theres alot of dependencies. and it doesnt agree with the keyboard. and it was made for the 1ghz proc. i wouldnt say its bad though. it seems most people wont opt into for the cfc compressed version though. cfc did wonders for 1.3 and 2.1.
Opt into? Are there ROMs that have a CRC compressed version, or is it just no one's done it?
Sorry, I don't know much about developing stuff like that.
I´m sure that great Chefs here will eventually have a smooth stable version
The fastest iteration of a 2.5 ROM I've played around with is Cell Pro Lite V1. It runs 2.5 and most everything really fast, but I can't get Swype to work on that ROM, and I love that input method. Always a compromise.
I've had it for a while now and recently flashed the rom with the latest update from HTC which was Sense 2.1 I think. It's a little sluggish but I've been seeing nightmare posts about others using droid roms and having major issues with the Rhodium.
I'd like to find something that runs a little smoother and takes a little load off the ram.
Any suggestions?

Doubtful RAM is the issue, but the Sense 2.1 (rosie) build hasn't been updated since April as I recall. Check out this build. Newest reference build, just grab the appropriate startup.txt.

thanks I'll have to try it out
Does anyone know a ROM that comes as close as possible to a clean, vanilla Android OS as possible? You know, standard UI, only basic functions and as few apps as possible.
The best AOSP experience we have on the DHD right now is Cyanogenmod. You have the choice of the very stable 6.1.3 release based on Froyo 2.2.1 or some alpha builds of 7.0 based of Gingerbread 2.3.1.
Actually the Gingerbread builds are working very well and stable, great battery life, with only the occasional annoying glitch.
is there a workaround for getting adobe flash player on the slide with CM6 ?
what about google earth? - is there a way to run either of these apps?
The only possible way to get any sort of Flash Player on our phone right now is to use a HTC Sense ROM. Stock 2.1 and Stock 2.2 (CR_MOD) both are modified Sense as well. Keep in mind this is Flash Lite though.
nope..it has to do with the hardware of the phone..either Google or adobe needs to release support for our phones.

They don't support our hardware for a reason, it isn't as capable as armv7 devices, not on the stock 600 mhz clock at least. The faster armv7 devices can handle it just fine though. They won't spend time and money developing for phones and hardware that can hardly handle it to begin with.
but don't you think they would do it if/when we get official 2.2?

No, it has nothing to do with the android version, it has to do with the version and capability of our processor. Since most of the slides out there are used by regular end users on the stock software, unrooted, the CPU clock runs at 600 mhz max. That isn't enough to do heavy processing, compared to the faster armv7 800 mhz-1.2ghz devices. Plus, HTC has already developed a flash lite app that they include in the Slide official ROMs, so adobe sees no reason to develop it. It just won't happen. I do wonder though, since we have the leaked froyo build, if the htc flash lite could be ported to cm6 or even cm7. I remember someone tried it porting it to cm6 from 2.1 stock, and wasn't successful, but maybe now it has better chances of success. Who knows.
well that kinda makes sense but I'm not expert or anything
Hi everyone.
I had cyanogenmod 7 installed on HTC desire z for some time.
I decided to try out the unofficial cyanogenmod 9 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492461
At first it was great but since then it has become unstable. Programs regularly lock up for a long period when opening them or crash all out.
I cleared the cache partition last week and it improved things but its already back to how bad it was.
I'm considering going back to cyanogenmod 7
Before I go back to cyanogenmod 7 I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I can solve my issues. I could try a different cyanogenmod 9 ROM or a cyanogenmod 10 ROM but I'm wondering what you think. does anyone have any experience with any of these.
t-mobile g2 on 10.1 cm andromadus vision 12
i am t-mobile g2 on 10.1 cm andromadus vision 12. the performance has been stable but very slow. the fault is the outdated hardware. but CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.1) strikes me as an awesome build. if you want jelly bean, try it. :good:
if you want speed, let me know what you find. i am about to leave this build because the slowness is crippling (causes me to make errors in usage). i don't know where to go, but it seems like aosp is possibly the democratic choice... i continue to seek a recommend. will migrate in coming days. will report back. :fingers-crossed:
these cm people are pious saints. have informed vatican to beautify but was informed that i have no vote since i am dothead. :cyclops: so be it. amen. :silly:
sept 6, '13-
actually, i flashed Gen Y Vision X R3 on the G2. it has been a pretty good experience: slow but stable. i have now bought an htc one. so, i will leave you to try out the Gen Y ROM. really liked it. love this place cho muchy!
My opinion after playing around with a bunch of 4.0+ ROM's yesterday, since the G2 is now my backup phone. You want reliability and responsiveness/speed; stick with Gingerbread 2.3 ROMs (latest CM7 Nightly, ILWT, and etc). You want 4.0+ (as a daily driver) get a new device, which is why I got a Nexus 4 personally. A G2 with 4.0+ doesn't even compare to one running Gingerbread 2.3.
A properly setup CM7 ROM is perfect. KBreezie SD-EXT mod, V6 Supercharger w/ KAK & Multitasking Mod. This setup was running @ 806mhz with about twice as many apps as I was running on the 4.0+ ROMs. Result is it was faster than any 4.0 ROM that were clocked at 1.5ghz, so much so that you would think you were on a new device.

Yeah I was under the impression that moving to CM9 would be faster but in practice I find its a hell of a lot slower than CM7 and its no where near stable. I like the UI improvements that come with the latest android but thats really no big deal, I'd rather have a fast and stable phone.
I'm looking to get a new phone but I like the physical keyboard and no one seems to be doing one like that at the moment. So for now I think I'll stick to cyanogenmod 7
I would too recommend to stick to CM 7.2 for now. After some much flashing of radios (felt dangerois) and a brief flash of a Sense 4.0a rom (to get accelerometers working) I finally have a pretty decent JB setup. The andromadus flinny 10.1 B19 is working quite OK, but CM 7.2 admittedly has more RAM available and is faster, I had it clocked ad 24x->1506 MHz and it was rock solid.
Earlier when I tested the B18 flinny build I suddenly lost my camera. This combined with missing accelerometers had me almost going back to 7.2. Then a friend of mine noted that B19 was out, so I had to try that.
The B18 had some occasional lagging, while B19 is now my choice. I'm willing to take the speed penalty though.
I suggest You try both, and the You decide yourself.
I'm using Flinny Andromadus CM10.1 (JellyBean 4.2.2) and it is working great, no overclocking needed. Phone is fast. I of course wiped my data but pics/vids were still saved. JB is truly an amazing OS... a lot of new widgets and features that I never knew the G2 would ever see... I highly suggest you try it out. You can always back up your data using Clockwork Recovery mode.
You can DL the zip here: http://andromadus.flinny.org/?q=node/34 <-- They have a build as of 4/10/2013 :good:
