Ok i just flashed it, and looks great. but the phone seems like a little slugish, i don't know maybe its only for me.
its slow with everything, scrolling down, pulling up the apps menu, etc etc. did i forget something?
i did a wipe, and wiped dalvik.
I appreciate that you consider it to be slow, but your experiences are not the majority. Most people who try the ROM agree that it is very snappy and very responsive for most tasks. Of course I will continue to try and improve the speed as best I can, but there it is.

Sorry, but I agree. This build, in fact any AOSP build, is laggy.
You can say otherwise, but it doesn't change the fact that they are slow. And yes, this is after giving several minutes to initialize, etc. I'm not a ''noob'' and have a few years of experience running Android on the Vogue and Hero now, this isn't a problem with anything I'm doing or with the phone.
Speed and lag is perception, not reality. I don't think you're a noob.. but I'd be interested in what your adb logcat looks like when you're experiencing this lag.

Is it not true that AOSP releases lack certain drivers and OpenGL? I'm just throwing this out there, but perhaps that's the cause?
No, it's not true. The phone gets 24 FPS on the OpenGL benchmarks and OpenGL ES works just fine. Yes, we're using a leaked kernel and leaked drivers from an HTC build.. so of course we're at some disadvantage. They may have compiled everything in debug mode, or who knows. But that's not anything we can fix until they release a 2.1 ROM.. which given their speed may be after Duke Nukem Forever comes out.

I've been told it's just me several times now, but I think a lot of you have to go and install a stock or vanilla Cupcake ROM again to truly experience the snappy and smooth Android experience, go back to an AOSP ROM and then tell me it's not laggy.
Again, I'm not trying to be an ass, and I truly appreciate the work you guys are putting into bringing Hero users the Eclair experience before HTC does, but people need to stop saying these ROMs are fast and lag free and that ''it's just you".
I have installed cupcake ROMS. I have installed donut ROMS. I've been working on my HTC hero with stock HTC, AOSP and other custom builds for quite some time now. The fact of the matter is speed and 'lag' is always perception. It's a feeling and it is not a feeling shared by every single person. I have two HTC heros sitting right here at my house, since my fiancé has the exact same phone and I can do side-by-side comparisons of 100% stock builds.
A clean build without google apps, and thus no synchronization overhead, and no other s*** floating around.. and this ROM is very competitive. The only place I feel any lag whatsoever is when opening the application tray, and it's displaying more icons than the normal launcher with different graphics on the background.
I'm not saying people who consider the ROM slow 'stupid', 'noobs', or 'wrong'. But the issues are perception issues, and must be considered relative to some other point. They are also not universal, I have received constant feedback about the speed of this ROM and how happy people are with it.
I'm not being funny, or rude when I say that you're welcome to use whatever ROM you'd like. I don't do any of this work for glory, massive amounts of users, or even donations. I do it because it gives me a chance to control what is going on my phone, fixing any issues that come up along the way. If the speed of the ROM is not up to snuff by your standard, I'm sorry and will continue to try improving it.

When trying to run MetaMorph, I get this error;
It does not look like this phone has root access! the file: su could not be found
Any help ?
su is most certainly there, /system/xbin/su. Downloading GScript Lite and running any of the 'root required' scripts works as expected, so no idea why Metamorph is not working properly.. Perhaps the path to su is hardcoded for some bizarre reason?

videos close after 2 seconds like on every 2.1 aosp :/
I have to try a few more things, but will definitely try to tackle this one. I had it working on one build at some point, for some people =).

same bug as with ckdroid 1.6 beta : market takes a while to refresh then shows a blank page, after being refreshed a few times it shows my download list
That's a server error, and I don't experience the same issue. Its' a simple socket timeout, which means it is an issue with your connection. This is the same market that is used on the Nexus, so it's not likely that there is such a terrible bug that causes a fake server error. I'll see what I can find out, but there's not too much to look at when the issue is on the connection/server.
