OK, I've searched for days to try and find a fast, stable, sense-ui (Theme-wise) ROM that works on the HTC Hero. I've found tons of ROMS for the G1, I've tried the CyangenMod 6 ROM, I've spent hours searching for a good ROM. CM6 is a bit faster, but occasionally it will hang. (A bit better than stock 2.1) I don't like that a lot of apps don't work (After downloading an app and installing it, you can't click open or find it in your apps list) and I don't like that the fact that you can't group your contacts or have the Sprint/HTC widgets work. (The only widgets I use are the clock and the email, messages, and voice mail widgets that show how many you received.
Please let me know if you use one like that you can recommend.

For a good sense UI rom I would go with Zen rom. You can find it here.
I've been using this rom NFX-Hero 2.2.1 by nfinitefx45. After playing with other roms and the cyanogen ones, i've come back to this one. I've been running this for a couple weeks and it's pretty smooth and stable. So give it a try. Also, nfinitefx45 is one dedicated developer, he actually visits the thread often and help with answering questions, solving problems/bugs!

+1 nfinite's roms are put together well and are fast yet also solid.
I'm using the cyanogen rom. CM6. It's actually running android 2.2 (froyo) instead of 2.1, and I think it has a better keyboard and runs very well. I use the "digital clock widget", and the weather and "news and weather" widget, I think both are available in the Market, but News and weather came with the rom. I miss the bookmarks and calendar widgets from Sense, but its not worth going back. As far as voicmail goes I'm using google voice to handle my it, and there are widgets for it too.

I use CM6 as well, and prefer it over any sense rom but the OP wanted sense so I thought I'd humor myself
The CM6 with CyanogenSense theme looks and feels like my stock Hero, but runs way faster and has a better battery life. Zen makes a great rom, bit imo the CM6 is the way to go.

I've decided to try making a theme using the tutorial thread number 667951. (I can't post links yet I don't think, so again I'll just use this work around.) That being said, I've decided to stick with NFX-HERO for my ROM since the only thing wrong with it is the boot loop issue which I'm going to try starting from scratch to fix it today. So, the tutorial says that a good starting point for a theme would be to get an existing compatible theme and modify that one. (Great idea in my opinion. I've done this in the past with other phones I had.) Does anyone have an idea of a theme that would be useful for me to start off with? I want to change a lot of things on the phone, so the more intricate the theme is, probably the better.
Also, on a side note, if I remember correctly this thread had 3 pages before the site went down. I'm not sure why it was truncated. If any mods know why, please let me know.

We lost about 2 days posts when the site crashed
i used a theme called blue echo to learn where most things go. and in his rom there is a great vending apk that has the market themed as well. then i took a dialer from one of godzen's and moved it all to compare to my stock 2.1 files and made it work with a rom i am currently running. im just now getting into looking at the apps like clock etc but that was a good start for me since there is alot covered there.
OK, let me ask you this. It'll clear up some things I need to know on compatibility. What makes a theme compatible with one ROM and not another? Likewise, what makes an app compatible with one ROM and not another? Is it the structure? If so, how? I'm a computer programmer, but even though android phones are quite similar to a Linux system on a PC, I'm still not sure if I understand the compatibility issues behind themes.
Also, just so I don't have to post again to ask this in case it's relevant, are Blue Echo and GodZen's dialer compatible with NFX? I downloaded them, but it never said anything about NFX. Is NFX similar to Sprint's 2.1 in the sense that it will run any themes I make for NFX?
well the Rom im using is mostly stock so the framework and htc.resource files are the same. for say CM6 (and i havent looked into it just a example) may have say the status bar grey and i want black. in the stock i would change the statusbar_bkg file in the framework.apk folder but in CM6 it may be in the same plae with a different name or the same name in a different place or just non existent all together. as for if they are compatible the only way to know is to try. the only way to know for sure is to open them compare and replace what you need in the correct order. also i use metamorph to apply themes. you can find it in the market. but the Vending.apk theme must be pushed with adb for some reason or it will crash the market.
matter of fact now that i think of it, the Rom im using is about to incorporate NFX. go here and you an see my post where i put what i transfereed over and they should work as i think NFX is mostly a stock (so to speak) Rom.

You are using a Hero, right? Not a G1? That would explain the boot loop issue you had with NFX.
NFX-HERO was listed in the Hero ROMs section. You sure it's only for G1? Would another phone's ROM actually even flash to a different phone properly? I mean it works, but with boot loops.
Yes they will but may it may not work. And I'm sure that Rom is for a hero and I would flash over and look for myself but I have been threw like 5 Rom's today and just got it back normal lol.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
OK, so today I had a chance to wipe and flash the NFX-HERO ROM again. Now the phone seems a bit more stable. I can boot it and it boots all the way up fine and I can click "Shutdown Phone" and have it shutdown without freezing and rebooting, but now right now I've spotted only one flaw. When I use the phone in disk drive mode, but then pull the USB out of the phone without switching it back to charge only, and it freezes and reboots on me. (This happened last time.) I've also noticed that the phone gets increasingly more unstable as time goes on, so I wouldn't doubt that it would do this even more later on.
Correction, no matter what I do, to remove the USB when I use it as a disk drive, the phone freezes and reboots.
Update again: I decided to use RegawMod instead. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661991) It's super fast, no bugs from what I can see, highly compatible, and it looks slick! I even used a mod to turn my dialer pink. lol I can see this being my ROM of choice for a long time. The only thing I didn't like was that it was lacking the Google Navigation tools, so I installed GoogleApps.apk (If you're looking for this file, just Google GoogleApps.apk) from another ROM and rebooted me phone (So it would show up) and then it worked just fine. I'm not sure why it isn't showing local listings for destinations first, but that may be just because it didn't catch the GPS location right off the bat. I did set my location settings to being shared.
There is a pink theme in 2.1 catalog if i remember right. If you like pink that might be a good start for you to move the files around to see how they are built.

Haha... I see how that can be misinterpreted.
Yeah, NFX is a Hero ROM, I was asking if you were trying to flash it on a G1, because if you were, it wouldn't work.
I like Regawmod 2.1. Fast with a nice dark theme. Based off of damage control. Just my two cents.

Official CM7 Nightly Builds - Gingerbread
First off I want to say that I'm am not associated with Cyanogenmod in anyway. I merely created this thread because I did not see one like it here. To be clear, I did not write ANY of this code.
All credit to Cyanogenmod team and a huge thank you to gridlock32404 for his unofficial builds before the official nightlies are started.

I will try to keep this thread updated (maybe not EVERY day but as much as I can) as code is updated in preparation for Cyanogenmod 7. Please keep any discussions about the older nightlies in the other "CM Nightlies" topic. So with that, the current CM7 source build:
Known Issues:
-Charging LED notifications

Rule of thumb: If you are having issues and haven't already, do a clean wipe. Please lets keep bug reports down to what is actually wrong and not issues caused by upgrading from stable, nightly, or and older source build to the newest source build.
Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk.
cant wait to try this out!
just saying, i read in a thread on CM forums that you need clockworkmod recovery 3. tried to install 2 different ones (including the unofficial official one that all the mods/well-known peeps at CM forums are running/developing) and kept getting bombarded by force closing upon startup. completely unusable. flashing new recovery now....hope that'll solve everything. also, the new rom supposedly has keyboard light and camera fixes. plus the cool screen on/off animation (i think the on part is custom).
drop the g1 & on with a droid 1...
Well I see that the nightly has been posted for a while so ill test it out and post a review of the latest build. Cm usually never disappoints so this build should have some nice perks.
A couple of notes...
The CM nightlies that just restarted a couple days ago are still Froyo builds. There is speculation that they are testing things out and GB builds will come within the next week.
CrackFlashers Build #46 is running great. I still lose data after phone calls (and maybe texts too, need to test that). That is the biggest problem right now. I can deal with the small problems (wonky accelerometer, questionable GPU performance, camera FC's).
Any observations as to how this compares with JeffV2 's rom over at DF? Im trying to decide which one to try
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/android-roms/110459-rom-gingerbread-update-zip-w-gapps-154.html
this is a nightly, more like a pure build. but i slightly edit the source, probably nothing noticeable just by looking at it though.

I agree, the post over at DF.net says that the gingerbread rom has gingerapps included in the rom.zip and also it shows a temp fix for the keyboard backlight. Are there any comparisons
Ok I see there is no major diference. Its jus the small things that changed between the two rom builds
I'm running #48 now, and it seems great but there are def some issues. The most notable one for me is the crappy market. It's old and has the same app missing problems as early froyo builds. Big misses include twitter and tweetdeck. Can I just flash any other gapps zip (like the CM one)? Or is there a different fix? Thanks.

Hi all!
Can somebody help me or show me how to port CyanogenMod v7 to Milestone?
As of #48 the camera doesn't work, force close. Keyboard doesn't light up. And the screen has a glitch where it won't come back on, not sure what causes it however. Going to flash #52 released today and see if it's any better.

#52
Bugs:
camera force closes
keyboard back light doesn't work
Works:
WiFi

Yeah it's on my wife's phone too. Just installed #54.
#54
Bugs:
Camera force closes
No back light on the keyboard
Everything else is working. Wish it worked as nicely as #52 on my Inc, it's flawless with the exception of running video benchmarks. Seems the hardware acceleration for that is still missing.
Official Nightlies for CM7 just hit ROM Manager on my Inc. Can anyone confirm the same happen for Droid?
Yes. A CM7 nightly is up on ROM Manager for Droid. Downloading now.
I have been running the official nightly since i found out yesterday night, CAMERA WORKS!! (that was a huge deal breaker for me when it did not work) Data is still kinda strange sometimes it wont work even when i have NOT made a call or anything but it for sure does NOT work after a call. I pretty much love it hope for the little bugs will get fixed over time

Is spelled wrong its the auto keyboard fault lol
I just got a TF101, and it came with ICS.
Should I flash a custom rom? Like "Android Revolution 3.1.0"?
Does it actually make it run smoother and have better battery life?
If I did flash a custom rom, I'd want it to have full dock support, and I kinda like the stock File Manager app, maybe I could copy the .apk and install it on the custom rom?
So far the stock rom seems fine, but it has shut off, like twice, for no apparent reason. Once when an app locked up, and another, when I came to it, it had rebooted on its own.
If you're happy with the stock ROM theres no real need to change it. The reboots wont go away.
But to answer your question: Most of the custom roms support full keyboard dock, but some of the roms does not come with ASUS Keyboard.apk, which is needed to get all functions working on the dock (the buttons for wifi, bt etc).
You can take a backup of asus keyboard before you flash a new rom, if you want. But you need root for that.
Imo, most (if not all) custom roms are a lot faster than the stock. There are also kernels available that allows you to overclock, which in turn helps improving the performance.
Better battery life... This is more depending on what youre doing than what rom youre using. But custom roms normally comes with a lot less bloatware, which helps to speed up the device as well as increase the battery life. By how much I can not say.
I havnt actually noticed any difference, but I didnt stay on stock long enough to actually measure.
But I get around 8-10h from the tablet alone with my normal usage. If I decide to game a whole day I get around 6h.
The stock filemanager is actually crap, and I dont recommend it. But if you really want it you can indeed take a backup of it and install it on the custom rom.
But I still recommend using some other file manager. My personal favorite is ES File Explorer.
I have used ES file manager.. eh, it just doesn't grab me. I like Ol file manager better than ES.. but the stock one seems to be pretty good for me [for just moving files]. I haven't used it too much so maybe down the road I will find out it lacks features that I need..
Anyway, So how about CM9? [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525148 ] I just realized how much I missed the cyanogenmod options after just upgrading my Fascinate to THS build 7.1, like the Battery with text percentage, stuff like that.
Does that have the Keyboard apk, and is it pretty much stable? how about Hardware video playback?
And yeah I have rooted & have TitaniumBackup.
Never tried CM for the TF so cant comment on that. At all.
But EOS got a setting that adds text % next to the battery icon, as well as a setting to hide the icon. It can also hide the clock if you want that.
H/W video playback is ok (not perfect) up to 720p [email protected] Anything higher than that pretty much requires S/W decoding.
1080p is just a no-go no matter what you do. They wont even open with H/W decoding.
EOS does not come pre-installed with asus keyboard. Since its an AOSP rom it doesnt come with any asus apps, and I think the same goes for CM.
So you're gonna have to install the keyboard etc yourself, but that shouldnt be much of an issue (I actually cant comment on that as I dont have the dock myself).
Edit: heres a link for the asus keyboard for the AOSP roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542502

I think that I'll do a backup and then flash cm9. Their ICS roms have always been pretty good [though I've only used their ICS Fascinate roms lol, and CM7 on a Droid X2].. and I read the change log and it looks like it has the ASUS keyboard. And I think I'll flash the Guevor kernel, and see how it goes. Thanks
Hey,
I've still got my forum training wheels on, and so I'll just put this Q here (rather than the directly related thread).
I've seen a few people ask this, but haven't yet found a conclusive answer.
I use my TF with this ROM and think it's great, not had any issues to speak of. However, I did love the HC/ICS (4.1) screen layout, where the notifications were in the bottom right along with the clock etc. There was no status bar at the top and Nav buttons were in the lower left. My question is... Is it possible to get this back, whilst still using the 4.2 ROM?
Hopefully somebody knows the answer....
I understand that this would require 4.1 launcher to be ported to 4.2, but I could be wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
I have that tablet running that ROM, but I've gotten used to 4.2 and haven't looked for a way to change it.
You should ask this in the TF101 forums.
I'm not sure how much a launcher could really do, but I'd Google "get back tablet layout in 4.2" or something to start checking it out on my own.
I'm not sure this is that easy. I use Apex launcher on that tablet and ROM and the layout doesn't change. I'm thinking that's a deeper layer than a launcher works with. I think you'd need a ROM with that baked in.

Hi Pennycake,
Thanks for the reply!
I've done lots of forum and Google hunting, but had little success...!
I've no grumbles using the phablet style layout. I just think that it was neater having everything on the navbar (tablet style).
I'll keep on looking and maybe stumble over something.
Cheers
Impossible...!?
So this is looking like it's not really possible without work being done to the SystemUI.
Withing the Eos Control Centre (This comes as part of the TeamEOS 4 ROM for TF101), there is a tablet option, but this leaves the status bar at the top.
I'll keep digging, but i won't hold my breath!!
Case closed...
Sweeeetttt...!!!
News just in...
timduru said:
Well yeah, we still have the code for tabletUI in EOS4 too.
Just that it has not been updated at all and is completely out of sync with all the EOS specific modifications, so most likely will crash.
But I might have a look at either bringing TabletUI back or implementing a new navbar from scratch to go with the phabletui.
That way we get rid of the navbar lag.
I'm also hopping that having to dig through the code even more with cornerstone, I could spot something.
But I've been thinking more and more about rewriting part of the window manager.
The original google code is Sh*t, and the more I look at it the more I come to the conclusion that PhabletUI is not made to work correctly on big screen / tablets.
On top of that code there's the EOS customizations which just make things more complex.
With cornerstone it's adding another spaghetti layer on top of the google spaghetti pile.
So yeah *headache*.
But yep I would say that the way PA has done it and rewriting part of the window manager & policy is the good approach.
Maybe I'll just resume work on Phubuntu instead too, and make a real multiboot that doesn't require flashing all the time.
We might benefit more from that, and it will have multiwindow support
Ahh so many things and so little time ;P

Problems with nightly ROM 111
I have a TF101 and finally decided to root and install the JB ROM. I started with EOS JDQ39 Nightly 108 and gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b. This worked fine but when I updated to the nightly 111 I noticed that I Google play was not working. I would click on the app and it would start to load but disappear. It appears that I am not logged in anymore because gmail does not work either. I have tried to delete data from the gmail app and google play store from settings but the did not work. I have tried installing gapps again. Does not work. I tried another gapps, gapps-jb-20130301-signed and that just freezes my tablet on the EeePad screen.
Any ideas on how to get signed in on the tablet without a factory reset?
I've just now had a somewhat unhappy experience with applying a custom ROM to my Nexus 5. I decided to apply Dirty Unicorn and to my dismay found 2 things out: the GApps zip flashes but install nothing and "OK, Google" stopped working altogether.
For now, I started with returning to the stock ROM. I have no intention of going without my "OK, Google" and Google Now on the leftmost side of my homescreens.
What I'm looking for in a custom ROM, and would like suggestions for one that would satisfy:
"OK, Google" must work from all homescreens, as well as have Google Now off to the left of said homescreens.
Option to get as many of the currently very white apps (like the dialer and People app) in black and blue or any other color really.
Some basic customization, nothing serious or very fancy.
Any ROM that will do at least these will be welcome. I had RootBox on my SGS2 previously and enjoyed it enough, despite not using anywhere close to it's full potential.
Thanks in advance for any help.
(I'm hoping this topic is in the right forum.)

Rootbox rom was a mix of PA, aokp, Cyano, Slim etc...
I tried lot of roms, but the only good for me is Cataclysm Rom
because it's smooth and stable like no others
Also Purity is cool
I tried also aosp based rom like Vanir, codename, psx, but
Were buggy and not so stable
Never tried cyan, aokp, PA, beanstalk, madhi
I tried droidkang, really cool rom, fast and stable Cyanogenmod based rom, with a lot of mods & features.. Really really cool rom. If you need mods I think this will be the best for you
Also madhi is receiving lot of positive feedbacks
For me the best is cataclysm, a stockish rom with few but useful mods

Have you tried pressing/holding the Home button and then swiping up? That should get you to the Google Now screen from any launcher/ROM. I'm on a Beanstalk build using Nova Launcher and it works that way.
Otherwise, you could use the default Google Launcher, that should come with any standard GApps you'd install; there's got to be a forum posting with it available for download around here somewhere, just in case you're missing it. I'm just wondering if it's a ROM issue you're experiencing, where you might otherwise enjoy the ROM, or an apps issue.......

I tried lot of roms, but the only good for me is Cataclysm Rom
because it's smooth and stable like no others
Also Purity is cool
I tried also aosp based rom like Vanir, codename, psx, but
Were buggy and not so stable
Never tried cyan, aokp, PA, beanstalk, madhi
I tried droidkang, really cool rom, fast and stable Cyanogenmod based rom, with a lot of mods & features.. Really really cool rom. If you need mods I think this will be the best for you
Also madhi is receiving lot of positive feedbacks
For me the best is cataclysm, a stockist rom with few and useful mods

Same here, Cataclysm is the most stable so far.
