FroydVillain is working well now too - www.villainrom.co.uk

[stalins]

FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v1.4 is also a great ROM. http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=756548

I'm loving FroydVillain 1.5.0... fast and 99% stable

OTA updates great... bugs fixed quickly!

Do these 2.2 roms have sense on them?  If they don't, what is the real difference?

Also, what is the battery life like compared to 2.1?

Just asking as I'm going to flash a new rom shortly and I'm wanting to know whether to go for 2.2 or stick with 2.1.

[ZeppeMan]

Sense is not (yet) installed on 2.2. The HTC Legend will get Sense on 2.2 (dunno when) and then devs will port it too our Hero

The real big difference is the speed increasement, everything is super smooth and fast, very responsive,..

For me Battery life is good, in my opinion a little better then 2.1.

Do you use FroydVillain 1.5.0 or other Froyo ROM?

If you are looking for a HTC "Sense" FREE ROM head over to here
I've been using FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v1.4.1 for nearly a month now. Fully functional with virtually everything working. I need to update to the latest.

It's almost like Froyo was designed for the Hero

AFAIK, all Froyo ROMs are Sense-free.
I'm now on MCR r5, but thinking about some Froyo ROM. elelinux or froydvillain - that is the question. ©

I haven't tried Frydvillain but have elelinux, better the devil you know  

EDIT: Just updated to FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v1.8, even better

i tried elelinux 1.4 but (for me) it had too many issues, i'm now on froydvillain and very satisfied. i think it's more polished.

Had read about many lags and random reboots in FroydVillain 1.5.0 on xda.

You can also try Cronos Froyo v1.1.1, It's quiet smooth and stable, Actually I'm not a regular user of Cronos Froyo but I tried it and it was good But somehow I still prefer 2.1 ROM's rather than going for 2.2, You can give that a try

Approved.

Is there any consensus on the most stable Froyo ROM for Hero?

hmmm... it's quite difficult to judge all those posts. i don't really know what to think about them. i am not having ANY fc's and the phone runs quite smooth. maybe they did something wrong; playing too much with OC or restored some system data they shouldn't. really don't know. i am VERY conservative about roms and wouldn't take something that's not fully working. elelinux 1.4 was one such rom that i just couldn't live with. for more i think you'll have to see for yourself...
