[Q] Fastest ROM?

---

Hi guys,

Now that I bought a new phone (SGS3 ), I need a fast ROM for my Hero, I want to use it for GPS mostly, so it doesn't need to be the latest Android version available, not even a very pretty ROM, just need it to be fast and with a 100% working GPS.

What ROM do you recomend?

Thanks a lot

Decked_X for speed.
Villainrom 12 for stability.

(ignore froyo roms - those have battery issues)..

I'd agree with 1ceb0x

Decked_x(2.3.7) is very fast (if gps wise you mean- 'satnav' then I have issues with Google Navigation(not auto rerouting)

Villainrom 13 (2.1)is also very fast- I use it with Launcher Pro- as on occasions I found with HTC sense a slight hang (roughly i'd guess 4-5 seconds) when pressing home.

Heroine++(2.1) is also very fast- as above i use Launcher Pro with this too- tbh couldn't really notice a difference between this and Villainrom 13 both are very fast

Sorry wrong phone forum. But the launcher info still applies.

4 to 5 seconds pressing home? That's horrible. You should try a different launcher. I know LPP I is supposed to be one of the fastest launchers but adw works a lot more fluid for me I've found. Also try ftl launcher or lightening launcher. Hell even zeam is faster than launcher pro. At the moment. As for roms I'd go with blazer for gb or Frankenstein fif02 for ics. I use Frankenstein now and ran GPS yesterday all thru new Orleans it worked perfectly.

Am sold on the flashy transition effects when scrolling through homescreens with Launcher pro .- also i like the ability to be able to hide apps with LP.(getting off topic now -SORRY!)

recently been having dreadful Force close issues with VR13 and Heroine++ both 2.1roms. (Most likely my fault- think my sd card is getting clogged up from being flashed too many times-even though do all the wipes before flashing).

Flashed Heroine++ yesterday- going back to Decked_X today!

on that would recommend Decked_X

Hope you find what your after -Please let us know what you settle on.

Yeey xD!

Try Elelinux's latest version

You can also try the latest Elelinux-7.2-Hero-v3.9 Android 2.3.7. I was amazed at the speed. At least it feels faster than Decked_X.

SHPONGLE v3.5 with some gps.conf tweaking seems to be the fastest for me.

I'm testing SHPONGLE v3.5 now, what do you mean with gps.conf tweaking?

Thanks
