[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevphan08:
sense based, stable....

Dude i'd probably say stay stock, In all seriousness. Most roms with sense have kind of stopped in terms of work done on them. the last rom i remember with sense was infinites 2.2 but that stopped for some reason and its not very stable [my own experience].

Just leave the phone as it is. If scores and stuff aren't important. I don't know if the last sprint update helped "a lot" with the dialer lag, but i'm just going off memory here.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFoCaLx:
So maybe I should post the goal, as stock is meh right now and I wish she would have got an Evo. However, when she got her phone the guy at Sprint mislead her some and pushed the Evo and 4G to hard and so she backed off and went with the Hero. (I was on a plane at the time) So now we want to get to Froyo so she can have more than 10ish MB of free space and isntall apps to the SDcard. Also increase her battery life as she is always sub 15% by the time she gets home from work. Plus just the general speed increase from Foryo and custom roms. So Id like to try something, I was just hoping people could say, yes xxxx's rom is pretty stable, bluetooth works and so on...

Ill prolly start with a Froyo Cyanogenmod and see if she can get by on a asop rom, and go from there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomeaine:
Personally the stock sense was pita with dialer lag and other shannagins.

I would go with cm6 as for me has been very stable and easier to navigate than sense.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjoel53:
fresh roms were always stable for me. I tried liquid senses for a day and it seemed stable to me though some people say its sluggish
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
Zen my touch slide is a nice sense based rom, I've had my dads hero on it since he got it with no problems and that's saying something.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
I would go with the gingerbread release. The finally got gps working!!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
Ginger bread way to buggy for what hes looking for imho.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KelevrA_8:
I have tried almost every rom available for the hero over the last 6 months and two of the most stable roms i have used thus far are Liguid sense odex, and aospmod 0.9.9.2. to me they have seemed to be the least buggy. Its all reference i guess, if you like sense go with Liquid's it is fast and gives you plenty of extra space for apps, and if you like froyo aospmod 0.9.9.2 is great.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
Ah. Good point. I just noticed that my vid camera has got issues. Go for Dec31 froyo, or odex.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthalec:
I'd use aosp gingerbread
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggs32:
I recently switched from cm6 to liquidsense. For someone who isn't a into technology, cm is just going to be overwhelming and cause.problems. liquid sense is very stable, fast, and lightweight. The only thing is its 2.1 based, so I dont know if that's a deal breaker for you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmoreman:
I have a simple question - my daughter has Hero, very sluggish, so I am rooting to put SetCPU on it.

I am very familiar with roots and roms, running Epic, but have not kept up on Hero since kids are on stock.

Once I root, am looking at roms, how do I put rom on?

I'm looking at CW and that is too much for her. Stable Froyo is all she needs.

The threads are either old, or way too techy for what I need. I want to upload and give to her, not maintain nor get calls, have problems.

And leaving stock not a problem, I will add Wifi Tether, but want to be sure the battery holds up, most important need, on this.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarofloyd:
I am running CyanogenMod 6.2 the Dec31 Black version and have had no problems with it. This is a froyo rom. I will say that that wireless tether will eat up battery pretty quickly so i usually plug it in when I use the tether. At the beginning of each rom, there are usually instructions on what steps you should take to install.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmoreman:
Thanks, I will look for a link to read and/or download.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Generally, it's just download attached zip file, move said file to the sd card root, reboot to recovery, wipe data and dalvik, flash zip and reboot. With any aosp rom, cyanogen or aospMod, you will need to download and flash the gapps in the same manner as, and after, the rom. Any of the froyo roms are good, though I would stay away from gingerbread roms for now, as the bugs are still being worked out.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paczek:
Gingerbread really isn't buggy. I haven't flashed the new cm tho but use aospcmod as my daily
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Not really, I agree, but compared to the froyo roms they need work.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paczek:
Too true. Nothing has compaired to the speed of aosp 0.9.9.2. I always keep a backup of that. I do like cm 6.1 but it isn't as fast but more customized
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
Although its Not Completely Stable, Checkout the ExpressoEnergyHeroc 2.2 Rom!! I've been Running it as my Everyday Rom for a few weeks now! And though it Does have some Minor Issues with it, None of them have been Substantial Enough for Me or the Others I've been Helping out with the Rom to Basically get Fed up and Switch to Something else! Oh and it is Sense Based with Froyo!!!

My experience was very similar. I am from the UK, but spoke with an american representative named "Angel" (she sounded just like Dolly Parton). Angel also asked for my IMEI number. I answered all questions honestly, including saying the device was a hd2. This seemed to cause some confusion, I guess it wasn't on he drop down menu or something, but I explained "I have installed the HD7 software on a HD2, and she just said "ok" and gave me the code.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] CrAzYiaN:

I tried called the Microsoft hotline to request for an activation code and the person replied that he needed a couple of pictures of my phone front and back and a copy of the receipt of purchase. So i asked why did he need it and he told me that there have been a lot of callers requesting for the activation code for their devices when their devices aren't really the windows phone 7 devices,they somehow ported the operating system over to their phones lol

did you have to give a usa telephone number or did they accept your uk one??
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ShaGGy_UK:
I rang the UK number and was put through to a lady who sounded Indian (she asked for first name and then asked for my phone number in case we got disconnected)

She asked how I could help

I said I have installed the new windows Phone 7 OS but it continually asks for activation when I try things like marketplace ect

She apologised and asked for my EMEI and I think my mobile phone number

Then she said what make is the phone, I said HTC and she said HD7 okay (I did not say the model)

Then asked me to wait a minute while it generates the code

Then Gave me the code and asked me to repeat it back to her to make sure it was correct.

Then thanked me for the call

A very pleasant experience :)

[Droid X General] onveiledwings:
In your opinion, what is the best ROM out there for the DX. I'm running,Darkslide right now and love it .just want to see your thought s and recommendation. My favorite thing about this rom is the swype keyboard its fantastic. Also any one know if were getting 2.3 or a Rom with the tv screen off animation on gingerbread. My buddy had a rom on his vibrant
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I don't think there is a "best" ROM out there right now. ROM's are more of a personal feel and what you like in a ROM. All of the ROM's out there are amazing, and have been built by amazing dev's. I personally am running Darkslide right now, but I have run Liberty 1.0, Liberty 1.5, Rubix 1.9.5, Rubix 1.9.7 Rubix Blurry 1.8, GummyJar 2.5, Fission 2.5.7, TranQ 3.7, Apex 1.4.... And this is all within just the last 2 months...

Give each ROM you are interested in a try for a few days or a week. Until we get the ability to run an AOSP ROM WITH a custom kernel (like Cyanogen), and even then, who is to say a BEST ROM, I think it is really what you the end user is looking for that makes a ROM a "best" fit for someone.
[Droid X General] onveiledwings:
I agree with you. Probably shoulda worded it as "favorite" as apposed to best. I've personally tried most out there. Just wanted to know what people are running.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I mainly run Darkslide 4.2 right now to help with some theme testing, but mainly run Liberty 1.5 on a regular basis.

Since the Google Reader app updated to have a 1x1 unread count widget, I've been looking for a launcher that'll let me put this directly into the dock. It seems like I've tried them all; ADW, LauncherPro, Go Launcher EX and I'm currently trying to install Zeam but my phone seems to be a bit stuck on the download stage.

The closest I've managed to get to this functionality is ADW, which at least let me drag a widget to the dock, but then told me I couldn't drop it there. Are there any launchers at all that support this? It seems like such a simple that nobody's thought to implement! I'm happy to pay for it if I need to (LauncherPro Plus, ADW EX etc) but I can't find any mention of it in these programs' descriptions.

Any info greatly appreciated, and if anyone knows why nothing seems to support this I'd like to hear that too!

Thanks all.
[Android Apps and Games] blackalice:
ADWEx lets you remove the dock, so I guess you could do it that way.
[Android Apps and Games] delicb:
I need this too in ADW (EX). I want to be able to put Simi Folder widget in dock. LPP can do this, but I like ADW for other reasons. Unfortunatly I don't think LPP can add custom widgets to dock, Simi Folder just happens to be one that has support.

[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
When putting in the dock, it goes in as a shortcut, not a widget. Same with Folder Organizer or Ultimate Faves Pro.

I've never seen a widget in a dock in any launcher. There must be some technical reason.

Probably because its kinda stupid? That's not meant in an offensive way.

If you made a launcher that can accept widgets, how would the dock know the difference between a counter widget to a 4x4 message widget? Logically, it'd do more trouble than good.

That why i decided to write Tom XAP installer , basicly Tom XAP installer and Application Deployment are the same ( Alow install custom .xap to device and emulator windows phone 7 ) But Tom XAP installer a lot convenience , it’s alow you install .xap with double click to file or simple just right click –> install xap

How to :

Download exe and put it somewhere in PC, run it , it will automatic add registry path of application and add menu , icon to .XAP files.

So it's not made for WP7 man, you have to make sure it's mentioned before download.

all applications related to wp7 is .xap, and not .cab!!!!

but if you are sure that this is a game for wp7 and it's not a .cab file

try the following:

change the extension of the file to .xap,or if it's a several files so open a .xap file of what ever.

open it with winrar, and empty the xap file from its' continent and add your files of the game in it. rename the new xap file with the game name!!!!
