Thanks for the tip, whoshotjr. I've just started reading up on V6 SuperCharger. It's a little difficult for me to understand what it's doing, because the instructions are divided up by novice and expert, with not much in between. The gist of what I'm getting is that it resizes the system partitions to make use of space that would normally not be utilized by the system processes, and to run more than the core limit of simultaneous Android processes. Is that about right?

I also noticed "firerats", which seems to be doing a similar kind of rebalancing. However, the thread postings about it date back more than 2 years, so I'm thinking V6 may be a revised approach (and perhaps more efficient). What are your thoughts?

I ran both firerats and V6 Supercharger on my Hero with this rom here and it was awesome! They are both 2 separate things.

V6 Supercharger is more like a system/memory managemnt tool that optimizes they way your phone runs. It does not resize anything what so ever.

firerats actually resizes your cache and data partitions so you have more room for apps. Other then that, There is no performance gains by using it.

I am no longer running either of them for the simple fact, I havent set them back up yet as the current rom I am on (LiGux) is working plenty smooth for me and its not really my main phone anymore. But now I think just to make an attempt at messing something up, I am going to set em both up again. :)

Yup fire rats is only to resize partitions for huge ROMs. V6 supercharger just changes app priorities and min free memory settings. You can do what I did, use script manager from market to easily run the script.

Great, this is good to know. I think I'll give V6 SuperCharger a whirl. I don't have a huge number of apps loaded, so I suspect that firerats will be superfluous. Probably good to use on a more feature rich and powerful Android phone, running on JellyBean.

EDIT: I just ran the V6 SC script. Amusing instructions. ;) It worked just fine on my Hero, and didn't take a super long time to get started. I did notice some peculiar behavior, though. When I reboot, a number of apps that are on my SD card take longer than usual to register (and it's a pretty quick Class 6). I can pull open the app drawer and they won't be there, in addition to their shortcut icons on the desktop showing as generic Android icons. But then in a few moments those apps get recognized. It's a little bothersome, but not a big deal really. I do find that apps are loading a little faster than they did before and there's just a little more "snap" to the UI. I may try a few other options to see how performance is affected. But overall, looks good. :)

    This ROM is built from source using Android and CM repos. It is AOSP flavored, although some key CM7 elements are included. The build has gone through several iterations, and seems to be fairly complete. After the standard 30 seconds of exhaustive testing, Phone, Camera, Browser, Wifi, Market, Maps, GPS, etc. all appear functional.

    This is an ODEXed build and currently uses the CM frameworks/base, along with a number of other CM components.

    As of the 04JUN version, this ROM has a 2.6.35 kernel installed by default. This kernel is still in initial stages of development and testing. If you are having problems, you can trying flashing another kernel. I also recommend setting your minimum cpu frequency to 352, or you may have (even more) trouble getting the camera to work.

    As of the 06JUN version, added the disable 9016 notification option to the Messaging app settings. Thanks to kushdeck/evervolv for the source for this addition. In addition, the default cpu frequency settings have been changed to 691/352.

    If you are flashing over a version prior to 06JUN, please make sure to re-flash gapps as well, or you will be missing the gapps components. This has been fixed when flashing newer updates over ROMS from 06JUN forward. (i.e. 08JUN over 06JUN)

    Kernel Info
    While the .35 kernel used here seems to work quite well for the majority, there are some who will have issues due to the particular device being used. Please remember that this is still a work in progress and will continue to be developed, but it will take some time between versions due to the complexity involved. If your device doesn't work well with the .35 kernel, you can flash the old kernel for the time being.

    KERNEL UPDATE

    The 01SEP version has a new source base combining board files from the previous version with a new source base from the GSM Hero github of Riemer and Erasmux (big thanks). After 30 seconds of exhaustive testing, and a few updates, everything appears to be working with this version. Not a lot of mileage yet, so as always, nandroid is your friend.

    01-SEP-2011 Sync with AOSP/CM sources; Kernel updated to new 2.6.35.14 source; Fixed WiFi error on V1
    TeamHeroC-2.3.5-01SEP-V2.zip

    01-OCT-2011 Sync with CM sources; Kernel updated to 10-SEP 2.6.35.14 source; Redirected to CM Repos while kernel.org is down
    This has a significant change to the source base due to the use of CM repos, and a limited amount of testing. Please be safe.
    Predictive text is not currently working. It is being looked at.
    TeamHeroC-2.3.5-01OCT.zip

    01-OCT-2011 V2 UPDATE Sync with CM/AM sources; Kernel updated to 10-SEP 2.6.35.14 source; Redirected to CM & AM (Android Mirror) Repos while kernel.org is down
    This has a significant change to the source base due to the use of different repos, and a limited amount of testing. Please be safe.
    There are two versions - CM (all kernel.org repos switched to CM repos), and AM (many kernel.org repos switched to github android mirrors, others to CM).
    Predictive text should now be working, along with Screenshots and USB Tether, which were also missing in the previous version.

    03-OCT-2011 Redirect and sync to CM & AM (Android Mirror) Repos while kernel.org is down. Update build repo to reflect 2.3.7 version. This is primarily a cosmetic change to get the 2.3.7 version numbering along with some other small changes.

    Building the ROM
    This assumes that you have or are able to get a build environment set up.
    • repo init -u git://github.com/TeamHeroC/manifest_aosp_heroc.git
    • repo sync
    • . build/envsetup.sh
    • lunch aosp_heroc-eng
    • mka bacon
    • ./vendor/aosp/tools/squisher

    This will produce the ROM in the out/target/product/heroc/ directory.

    Kernel source is the latest TeamHeroC 2.6.35 version, and can be found here.

    Update Posted - 03-OCT-2011 - Update versioning to 2.3.7

    The 03OCT versions have been posted to the OP. This is primarily a change to get the version strings updated to Android 2.3.7. Other than that, there is not much difference between this and the 01OCT V2 release.

    Apologies to those of you who make major modifications for the multiple releases in such a short time-frame. Just wanted to get everything aligned and up to date.

    Update Posted - 30-NOV-2011

    Update posted to OP.

    Sync with AOSP/CM sources. Current version 7.2.0-RC0+.

    This may be the end of the road (at least close) for this ROM. Most of my limited time will continue to be focused on ICS, so likely no updates unless there are new major CM releases (i.e. new RC or final versions) or other significant reasons for release.

    This has not had much testing, so be safe. Primarily an update for currency and comparison/testing purposes for ICS development.
