Custom roms are slooooooooooooooooow.....

[superdad69]

I'm not new to flashing custom roms in the WinMo world but, I just got my Hero like 3 days ago. I have searched and read about everything here so far and from what I have read the reason for flashing custom roms is SPEED and CUSTOMIZATION.

Well, I have flashed twice and ended up re-rooting and going back stock. I'm not trying to take anything away from the developers because I know it's hard work. I did it with my old TP with WinMo for a couple of years. When I flashed my custom WinMo roms they where ALWAYS faster than any stock rom.

HOWEVER it seems to me like none of these roms for the Hero are ready for prime time yet and from what I'm reading all of the decent developers have crossed over to the Evo so the chance of us getting some decent roms in minimal at best.

So my question is should I just wait till something is released that is more stable or should I cross over as well? AGAIN I'm not trying to take anything at all away from the developers. I expected some differences coming from WinMo. I just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same way. If not, what rom are you running? Is it faster than the stock .6 rom from sprint? Does the camera work?

It's not that. I came from th dark side too. You go from a phone with decent hardware with gimped software to the same device with awesome software....its like Damn! Now you go with a phone that come with decent software already, the fain is smaller. I'm my opinion with Android, the builds are similar. The biggest gains come when you go to another version like 1.5 to 2.1. That was huge on my hero. The beat way to really get gains is to remove all the software you don't want. It makes a help of a difference. I am running 2.1 on both my hero and my evo with basically stripped down roms. Huge gains. Can't wait for 2.2
BTW, why go from the 2 year old tp to a hero? It's all the same hardware. I needed an upgrade after having the same hardware in 3 different phones!

Oh yeah, I saw some new roms on xda for the hero

the flipz rom for the hero i feel is the best for sure and worth a shot if you havent tried it already

I'm running darchdroid 2.7 and I must say it is pretty freaking fast...

Granted, you lose HTC Sense, but the performance gains, to me, was well worth it.

I have tried all of the custom roms. There have been maybe a few during beta phases that had speed issues but any of other roms have been so much better. All of them have their quirks and Fresh Rom seems to always be the one I go back too. Hell his betas lately have been running fast with minor issues.
