Rooted my phone using the unlockr method and installed cyanogens ROM in the Dream forum. It takes almost twice as long to boot than the stock ROM and Taskiller says its using more RAM.
if you want a real light hero rom then download the superlite rom.
Umm... Cyanogen is by far the fastest ROM around. It should be much faster than unrooted (which has been my experience with a Mytouch for sure). Boot time is longer, but afterwards it flies. Make sure you are using the stable build because some pleople have been having speed problems with the latest experimental. It does have automatic Apps2SD so if you partitioned your card for ext2 partition but have a low class card (like the stock class 2 card) apps can be running slower than usual. Upgrade to a class 6 to fix that.
Other than that all I can recomend is to do a clean whipe of the phone and SD and try again with the laters stable build.
After using several ROMs I prefer the none hero roms, especially because of lack of sms app stability. I've been using Cyanogen mod and xROM and they have been by far the quickest ones. Doesnt have the fancy hero widgets but I can live with out them until HTC release an official upgrade.

Whats the fastest/smoothest Sense ROM for the HTC Dream/Tmobile G1?
preferably Eclair or higher, but i'm fine with donut or something
Also, I need GAPPs
Well reading a few rom threads and having your own opinion would be a start. There are no higher then eclair sense roms, There are a few 2.1 sense though, NONE have bluetooth. Gapps is only needed for Cyanogen roms, because most other devs add them in. Gapps are in the Cyanogen thread.
Try a few HERO roms for yourself. My personal favorite (search a few pages) is the Slide rom by ChiefzReloaded. Make sure you have a swap set at 128mb or higher for them.
Also, unfourtunatly, KingKlicks sense roms run pretty well too. You just gota search a few pages for them.

Scroll down to where it says CR slide on the page
CR Slide 1.0
What a crazy 3 months it has been, with life in general getting in the way of development, but it's over and here is a release for everyone!
For the full list of changes please see the changelog at http://bit.ly/aH0ioL.
*Please note*
All Google apps that are available for download from the market will no longer be included in the CCRoms Google apps package, to facilitate updating the apps the way Google intends.
Also this release is FROYO, Gingerbread will most likely be our next release with this gem version's features ported to AOSP Gingerbread.
The Main Highlights:
Obsidian for the Droid X is now a fully stable build, some minor bugs might still exist, but otherwise it is rock solid.
Tanzanite for the Droid 2 is also stable build, since it is so close to the Droid X.
Emerald for the HTC Evo is also stable for all pre-2.10 and 2.02 hboot updates.
Sapphire is just as stable as ever.
Ruby has been updated to the Miui ril for better connectivity and is more stable than ever.
That's right we are now on 5 phones, Thanks for all of your support everyone!
Now for the important part, Obsidian 2.0, Ruby 2.0, Sapphire 2.0, Tanzanite 2.0 are released!
All Downloads are available under the downloads section on our wiki: http://wiki.ccroms.net
Be sure to read the wiki pages fully for known issues and install instructions for certain roms.
NOTE: Emerald has been having some kernel issues and 2.0 will be delayed slightly.
Looks good, but shouldnt it be "Bring out your DROID" haha
I can almost hear a cat being slung and a bell ringing hehe

How do you install stuff on the rom like market without a file explorer? I think I'm in trouble.... So if I cant install "stuff" how can I revert to my nandroid without clockwork?

Easy download GAPPS onto your sd card, boot into recovery and "flash" Gapps (its a zip file).
Voila, instant Google apps.
Ah thanks! I am unfamiliar with some of the rules... but learning fast. Sapphire on my wife's Droid1 is running great! After installing only a minor hiccup... but I forgot to wipe cashed stuff. The stock keyboard has issues. It will only suggest names, no words, or auto correct functions. Using swift key now. Very stable. All functions work gps to camera. 8 out of 10

Hey nice thread! i will keep updating this. thanks
i used Bravo 1.9 runing on 2.2, but i didn't overclocked to 1000 Mhz, and was 889 in quadrant (little bit more than galaxy S)
i've been using CM7.2 and quadrant gave me 969 NO overclock, but it's not 100% stable
i like CM7 but it seems to be battery-drain.
why don't you try khalpowers' v4 rom? i think it's stable and supports swap, which few roms support.
Brianlili has picked up support and improvements to CronosX (Android2.3.7) he has done a great job making it clean smooth and stable, with HD recording working. It seems to have great battery life as well.
[ROM] [20120302]CronosX (Android2.3.7) for XT720 continues...HD VideoRecord Available
i tried Cronos but i couldn't make the keyboard to show up even if i changed the language.

If I'm not wrong, there was a moto input keyboard that comes when you purchased the phone. The files will be inside the sdcard. These files will install the keyboard, as well as the pinyin input.
So just ignore the wizard at startup and skip the whole thing until you find yourself in the homescreen. Use Tetra (the file mgr inside Cronos) and navigate to the files (as mentioned above) and installed the keyboard. Then reboot your phone.
It was confusing at first, but once you settle the keyboard issue, the rest are just great.
Just try CM6 and feel the different
wanna try back the rom built by Khalpower, but all the links in his thread were broken...
Now in Cronos by Brian, but i think cm 6.3 is the best so far.
i think ROM 6.3 RC is most stable
i used CM 6.3 a lot back then, i've changed to 7.2 .. and now i'm testing cronosx for a week. and the latter, omg.. like 10 times faster than any rom i've tested before. now i feel like i have a new phone.. apps responding when i push them, i don't need an hour to load the apps menu nor laggy scrolling
gn01222116 I have the Khalpower rom, I am trying to find a way to attache it in a post.
I currently running that version of Miui (nandroid) http://www.mediafire.com/?bo71v7t5fnv92ss
I create 3 partitions on SD card fat32, ext3 and a swap. In ext3 partition create a dir "app" Miui transfer all new apps to ext3 true build in a2sd.
I am also trying to make a step by step youtube video. Link will fallow, I hope.
ai,it's hart to update
I'm actually using CronosX and it's running fine. The phone isn't laggy and the battery life is great. No lagg with camera ( new sdcard really helps ) and HD recording works great.

Well, it does take time for the developers to get the ROMs to that sweet spot where there's virtually nothing to complain about -- and having a variety to choose from is always nice yeah definitely til the wrinkles get ironed out stick with a good stable CM or older version of MIUI...or if you're really tired of flashing your XT stick with the stock ROM
Hi guys, I was looking for a bit of help.
I've had this phone for 1 year and 2 months now and I'm sick of the slow and laggy experience.
I've heard about lag fixes, kernels, roms etc. but didn't see the value in risking bricking my phone, there are so many little things people say such as make sure you have this or that kernel before flashing etc.
Now I'm annoyed enough to change, I just updated to Gingerbread since I heard the GB bootloaders were better to flash roms with and I'm wondeirng what kernel/ROM combo would satisfy my need for better battery life and speed.
I'm looking for a ROM that is fast and has good battery life. I don't wat to use ICS because I like having plenty of free RAM since I often browse with 1-8 tabs open.
I don't really care a ton about custom UI enhancements, I use launcher pro for speed and I don't see myself ditching it.
For me, the best pickup in speed/stability has been from simply replacing the kernel for KK4-based ROMs with the Corn kernel. You can do this with the "stock" Gingerbread release (build I897UCKK4) from AT&T.
If flash this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477
via Odin, you can then root your stock ROM easily, install something like Titanium Backup from the market, and then "freeze" the junk apps/services that contribute to slowing down your ROM.
to add to ^^...after flashing corn kernel...you can flash any custom GB rom...as Corn kernel has custom Recovery....
All custom roms are faster and have more feature then stock rom...
Also its very easy to flash ICS roms once you are on GB bootloader with custom kernel...
Thanks for the input guys.
So I can just flash this kernel with my stock ROM, and not lose anything, right?
I also know that the early lagfixes used to create new partitions and use a different filesystem to speed up the phone.
Do the kernels include a lagfix? Or is that only included in the ROM? And does the kernel do anything like messing with partitions or filesystems? That was one of the reasons I didn't bother lagfixing my phone.
The details on the kernel pages are non-existant so I'm hoping you guys can fill me in.
I would appreciate a lagfix so it doesn't take 10-15 seconds to create a bookmark.
Try ICS! You won't be dissapointed.
Flash any desired rom for YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE
i flash at least 3 roms weekly
switching between diffent ones...
YOU have to try them out everyone has different likes and dislikes
there is no ONE rom thats the best
just become a flashaholic and live the life man!!!
Try simplystock kk4 v1.0
It is stable and fast and easy to flash. That was first ever custom rom i used and pure pleasure it was
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
You could try Nostalgia 2.1 It's the kernel it comes with already has all the lagfix tweaks done. It might be a good place for you to start.
ICS
Definitely at this point you should be flashing ICS Roms. They are much snappier than GB roms and at this point they are very stable.
My current ROM and recommendation is V3.1 of Doc Master's ICS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462035
When I look for a ROM I usually look for stability and good battery life and customizations. I don't overclock or anything. I mainly want a cool, sleek, functional ROM. Just my preference.
2 Cappy's in family. Son's running Serendipity VII right as flashed. He does Facebook and all the other teenager stuff with it. Super stable and proven.
http://serendipity7.weebly.com/
My cappy is running Apex 12.4 with the Semaphore kernel. GB 2.3.6. packaged support for several kernels including corn 1.05 which supports the Audience chip in the Cappy. Actively developed and evolving.

I agree here! once you try ICS you will never go back to GB, its so much better, and as mentioned, Doc's V3.1 is one of the best so far indeed

Best ROMs are subjective, best to test and see what works well for you.
Hi everyone, this is my first post in the sensation forums. Here is my question. A friend of mine has the sensation in stock form and wants to me to install AOKP on it. I've been reading up on how to get s-off and installing cwr. Now I have a vibrant and if on a stock or froyo rom installing a cm7 rom is recommended prior to installing any ics rom to get partitions and such correctly. Is there a rom that needs to be flashed before I can flash his sensation with the aokp rom or is it safe to flash straight from stock rom. Thanks in advanced.

The process goes basically like this:
A) Unlock the bootloader by means of Revolutionary.io
B) Root the Stock Rom
C) Flash 4EXT recovery from the APK downloaded at 4ext.net
D) Download the 3.32 unlocked firmware from the dev thread.
E) Put firmware PG58IMG file on root of SD card and hit up the bootloader, apply firmware.
F) Remove firmware file from SD card so you can get to 4EXT recovery from the bootloader.
G) Put rom on SD card, reboot into recovery, flash rom.
Only one problem is that AOKP isn't really supported, or 100% ready to roll on this device. Virtuous Inquisition or ARHD + Shnizlon's AOSP mod is a much more stable, feature-packed approach.
Thanks sshede, that's a pretty good tut you wrote for me there. And I'll definitely search and look into the roms you recommend. And also time for me to start downloading all those files and the drivers for his phone. I probably won't mod his phone till this weekend so it will give me more time to do my reading up. Thanks once again.

Lol wut. Aokp is faster, more stable and smoother than VI. I have been using it for like 1 month without a single reboot. Only few bugs (480p camcorder) that don't affect the experience at all. Give it a try, you will think CM is a joke after using AOKP's ROM Control (which is a compilation of a LOT of tweaks/mods/etc).

Totally subjective. Some people prefer 480p because it doesn't use nearly as much space. Bluetooth isn't 100% functioning either. It may not bother you, but some people need them. And I've tried my fair share of both Sense and AOSP-based roms, nothing is more stable than Sense-based roms right now. All the drivers are straight from HTC, nothing's been patched together.

Yes. The main problem I had with VI was the random black screen of death. Had to pull battery away every couple days as the phone wouldn't turn back on. That's why I don't like that ROM.
And, well, its personal preferences
