What is the easiest way to speed up the functionality of the Hero without rooting the phone or making any rom changes?

Prayer! Ok, J/K. Well, kind of...

Out of curiousity, why are you unwilling to root or flash a custom ROM? It is really easy, if you follow the directions step by step, and the results are well worth the little effort needed.

ummm...pray to the phone gods?

wait for the evo or nexus one?

how about root the sucker, throw on fresh 2.1 with apps2sd to free up internal storage. install autokiller and set to extreme to free up as much ram as you can. seriously man, you have to root to get the most out of the phone.

you need to use the new apps2sd for maximum performance. search the fresh 2.0d thread for apps2sd for the new download to flash.

Yes it will void your warranty. I'm rooted, love it. Hopefully, if there's something wrong with my phone, I'll still be in the position to unroot it, bat my baby browns and say, "why sir, I don't know what happened, it's just not working!"

I've been rooting phones since, gasp, the Shadow. Love having the newest ROMS. I did lots of reading before I jumped in though.

Best of luck.
