Root Which ROM are you all using?

Xyro, same drain, app drawer faster, games smoother :P , I would say :D. Kinda feels smoother. Froyd is fast but cant keep the speed up. But this is just a first impression.

oh and has more errors in the logcat :P . And the sound makes a "plop" sound when going on. And I had to go without the BFS, the bfs lags :)

Slug a question, do you know if the drain is fixed in the 1.9? (The 1.8 had it too) you are the few lucky ones who dont get it :P . But all CM based roms having these issues
 
Btw, seriously its nicer on speeds :p (fruit ninja no cutting-lagging). But to do a full wipe now again... Will see .. Was quickly back to froyd since I noticed some default settings in elelinux and I had them also in froyd.

cant run now the 2 beta of angry birds :( . Will try in Elelinux :P
 
Ok I have now 1.9 and if he releases 2.0 I will kick his Swedish ass!(joking :P) but too much wipes and installs and bla bla :P


Slug I loooove the blackmod and the notification window awesome :D . Lets see the drain :P
 
Elelinux 1.9 here with scene 1.9 theme and what ever kernel came with the rom. It's fantatsic. After using it for about 6 hours i have not come across any deal breaking bugs. Top Rom in my uneducated oppinion!

Looks like I'll be giving Elelinux a try :)

Yes do it! But remember 1.6 Froyd will come soon. And the drainage bug should be fixed ! (or you dont have a big drain?)

Anyway me here on elelinux seriously seems great. smoother :D
 
I've flashed so many ROMs it's hard to keep track of what a 'normal' battery life is. I don't think it was that bad on 1.5 though.

Do I go for the BFS kernel or not?
 
Well without BFS I have a smooth feeling. With BFS lags for me, its not consistent :) . I would say without the BFS. But you can reflash later :D. And I say go right away for the black mod :P .
 
Yeah I have the black theme already :)

And I'll try the BFS kernel first, since it's supposedly faster (hence the name :P). It's not much effort to switch.

Go on, live dangerously.... :D

And you have the BFS ? :D . I am doing without it fine. Right now I have 3 trouble with this rom.

1. Drainage (will still have to calibrate but I dont think it will help :) ) cant wait for the fix :P
2. Not properly sleeping (something wakes it up will unistall all I dont need :P)
3. And this, it was same with alankilas driver on froyd, the akmd eating most of my CPU and I have rotate even off... and no landscape games or anything running in the background


But its a great rom! Smoother as froyd :P will see how 1.6 will compare :D
 
The battery life is quite good for me. I'll admit that i've only had my hero for a week (Managed to root it a few days ago) so i guess i don't really know what good battery life is with the Hero, but i'm now sitting at 56% with just over 12 hours up time.

During that time i have been doing linpack benchmarks and testing out my OpenVPN server so i would presume the phone would have even better battery life when i get over the novelty :).

Additionally i did not flash any kernel after flashing the rom. I just flashed the Elelinux 1.9 and a theme. Maybe insalling one of those other kernels drains more battery life than not doing it?

Or maybe my battery life is crap in which i would like you to let me know :).

Its fine :D . And do yourself a favor :P do not inquire how much you could get more or less. If you are happy with it then its ok :D. Or you will end up like me :P . Craving for every minute more :)

About other kernels I think there is already the NON BFS in the rom :)
And if your hero is fine and smooth. Let it be and enjoy it :)

Slug again thx for the black mod theme :P I love it :P (a little thing that made my day :D)
 
BFS is running well for me :)

I am having a problem with the way 2.2 has messed up my mobile internet setup, but that's not froyd/Elelinux's fault.
