cyanogen vs hofo? - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Ok what are the pros and cons of each?
I've swung between the 2 of them and i can't decide which one to stick with
cyanogen's great but i really like the keyboard that comes on the hofo rom... also hofo is designed off the rogers rom where cyanogen's off the t-mobile rom (right?)
so cyanogen vs hofo GO!

Both the android keyboard and the HTC keyboards are included in Cyanogens, you can switch between them both.
Also wrong forum dude, this has been reported. XDA mods GO!

Please do some searching before starting a new thread. The information is a secret.

wow a little harsh huh? why the sour response?
Well, Doug is probably coming from some other forum where a new "Which is the best ROM?" kind of post is started each week. It is a natural question, but it gets old after a while.
In the Hermes thread for example, there are multiple kitchens for making ROMs, so everyone and his brother are putting out new ROMs constantly that suit their needs. Asking which is the best is kind of like asking which restaurant is best in San Francisco. There are good ones and bad ones, cheap ones and expensive ones, it is all a matter of taste.
At this point though, with three or so cooked ROMs out for the Kaiser, I think it might be a valid question. Most knowledgable people will have tried all three and come to some sort of conclusion.
Yeah really ! why would this piss anybody off ?

Really, a good way to find out what's best (for you) is to try them out. I know, everyone says that. But they say it for a reason.
A great place to find out before flashing is to hop into the individual threads for the specific ROMS and read what's included in each and what comments (good and bad) have been posted. There's only a few ROMs out at the moment, so that won't be hard at all.
Usually when anyone starts a thread like this they just want someone to throw out an easy "The best ROM is...". I am personally using the HTC stock at the moment. I like it for now, others don't. So, you'll have to decide for yourself.
Have fun finding out!

My issue with the question is that if there truly was a "best ROM so far" available, it would be posted as such and probably stickied. The point is that there is no BEST, even with only 3 of them out there. Each is different.
I've tried all three ROMs and seem to be about the same. Only differences are the apps included, and storage space. Check them out and see for yourself.
Kaiser Roms, which is best?
I spent the last two days testing out all the variants of the ROMS out there, and there are pretty much only 4 English versions available.
Here you go, a nice summary of the results in one quick read, but i've not included the links to the files, some work for you
1. the stock HTC one - RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe (uses WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620)
and then 3 or so (because he has sub versions to remove unnecessary programs) variants of the same ROM by Helmi:
2. helmi_Kaiser_1.57.000.1_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - a cooked version based on HTC WWE version but has newer WM6 CE base code (WM6 CE OS 5.2.1908)
3. Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.02_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - another cooked version of HTC_WWE version but has selectable "activator" directory of cabs that the user can install as desired. Also uses same WM6 CE OS 5.2.1908 as above.
4. Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.03_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - yet another flavour, but this one has virtually all extra programs removed in a good attempt at freeing up as much memory as possible, it also uses a newer version of WM6 CE OS 5.2.1921.
see Helmi's link for all the info. My hats off to you Helmi.
In the end, I decided to go with the standard version as released by HTC, as I didn't notice much of a difference myself. I have naturally upgraded various cabs and installed my ideal base set of apps to get the machine setup as I prefer. My decision to go this way was based on what I prefer and you should really try the ROMS yourself to make the correct decision, I didn't try every program with each version so perhaps i missed things.
I upgraded the Radio to version 1.27.12.17. -(this doesn't appear to make any difference to my terrible radio reception or the random dropping off of the radio link to GSM, neither does selecting the gsm option under band instead of auto). Thank god that I don't use 3G as there seems to be a real problem with the UMTS radio code. I just hope that I don't have a hardware fault, but I doubt it as numerous other people and links reflect similar issues to mine. We can only hope that HTC will release new RADIO code soon.
So, I wish you well in your endeavor to find "the perfect ROM".....
While I wouldn't have posted "best rom" question (as I agree, that is so subjective), that is a great help SAppie! Thanks!
Agree and Disagree
Not wanting to piss everyone off
I think the OP was requesting ROM test result and comparison, like SAppie comment, as I also agree there's no such thing as 'best ROM'.
Now, there're release with WM6.5 and others. Anyone can update this with newer ROM's comparison?
As a newbie in WM myself, some of the thread has 1000 pages .. to read all will be tough, but sometimes that's the only way. The FAQ and sticky is helpful as starting point for me ..
well i tried athineos os, hyperdragon III, life in 3d and now i will try 6.5 beta but so far the fastest is the athineos and it greaat
This is an old topic with no real constructive merit, so I'm closing it.

i Search the Fastest/best Hero rom for 32B

What´s the Fastest Hero rom for the 32b Htc Magic ?
i have tested many roms all roms are to slow (With Swap and Without)
pls Help me.
This belongs in general not development, second everyone has thier own opnion of which is the best/fastest.
Most of the time you probably havnt messed with the swap settings enough to see what works best for you. Its not just turn on and that's it.
And do you have a class 6 sd card? Its a must for hero roms.
And to atleast Try to answer your question my favorite is in my signature.
SEARCH IS YOUR BEST FRIEND
Sigh ... at least once a week someone asks this question ...
If you had just gone to page 3 in this forum you would have found this thread where all the Hero roms are discussed, along with a poll for which is the best:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587569
Sorry to shoot you down in your first xda post but this information is not really hard to find, try using the forum search next time.

what can I do to help

I procured a 1.2 mytouch when my kaiser hit the skids after a year. since rooting it I have been itching to get a faster, more stacked rom. what can i do to help? Im merely a novice when it comes to developing. but am willing to learn anything that can help with development.
Personally I am not a dev, but I've been lurking around.
There has been way more development done over at the G1/Dream forums. Most devices sold in the US were either G1 or the myTouch 3G (32B), making the two devices very similar. As a result most of the development stuff ended up in the Dream forum.
The most informative threads for the Dream still apply:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519523
Also try Cyanogenmod wiki
Cyangenmod IRC is still one of the best places for ROM devs, even though many have moved on to the Nexus One.
As for the Mytouch 1.2, support for your device is still limited because HTC hasn't released their kernel. But there can still be good work to be done.

What is the best 2.1 Rom

Im currently using cyanogen's 5.0.8test1 mod on my G1 but i wanted to know if there is anything better out there and what peoples opinions are
Screenshot differences would be good, or just tell me what you like about one version that isnt available in another
look in the rom bible or on androidSPIN.com
Cyanogen is the base for every 2.1 ROM, so what is better than Cyanogen!?
Best rom
Best 2.1 is happy rom best overall is htc clay xperia rom
I would go with SuperBad 1.5 from HTCCLAY. That rom is a beast. Or, you can wait for a new version of SuperBad which should be out today or tomorrow.

Please don't start a new thread for this kind of question. You're going to get 5 different answers. It's much better to research the options and try them for yourself. Like others have said, check the ROM Bible.
First thing I would do is learn to read the forums rules.
Second I would learn to post in the right section.
Third go learn what a search button is.
Fourth and finally… Figure out for myself what I wanted from a rom the go to the top of this forum and read the rom bible.
P.S. If all the above proves to hard… Go buy an Iturd!
What is best is a matter of personal taste. Therefore, "what's best" threads are not allowed. Furthermore, the development forum is ONLY for development threads. For any future questions that need answers, post in the QUESTIONS & ANSWERS sub forum.

Noob looking for Latest/Greatest Inspire 4g Rom

Noob playing catch-up, I installed Revolution 6.3.1 with sense 3.0 recently and am wondering if there are newer ROMs to install. I'm enjoying the thrill of the ride and just want to keep up with the latest and greatest. But with all the threads and discussions going on I'm not really looking to read through every discussion board and every thread to find the appropriate topic...if someone could gently point me in the right direction I will willingly follow.
thanks
Noob
Please close.

Not a good first post. Anyway, go to the development section. That's where all the ROMs are. Don't ask which one is best, unless you like to be abused.
A good hint might be, look at the ROM threads with the most posts and the most recent posts. 5 different people might recommend 5 different ROMs. Admitting you aren't going to do the needed reading and searching isn't a very good first post. Because if you did you would notice that these threads get closed quickly.
i made it in before close!!!! haha
Please understand this is not a Rom support site. This is a Development site. We are here to work on active development.
