your answer.....
well, you certainly come to the right place, click on this link from the hero android developement forum :

if you need further help, PM me
Why froyo?? Jump to Gingerbread .. Our Heroe's can run gingerbread thanks to the lovely Dev's and there's two of them ( infact 4 in total ) you can try out in the development section .. check them out
Just Replace Ur Recovery to RA 's one andthen Flash Ur Rom
I am using Elelinux one , quite good

Actually I prefer Froyo, but only because it's alot smoother. I dunno about benchmarks and stuff, but it does run more smooth than any of the Gingerbread roms I've tried.
Though if you can survive with a little bit of stuttering, go TastyGinger (by RaDuG) or Elelinux' Gingerbread. If you want Froyo, I strongly recommend Cyanogen 6.1.
Well, here is the complete guide.

You can try TastyFroyo or TastyGinger by RaduG. Links in dev forum
Ok so at the moment i have froydvillain which is ok but am looking to use cyanogen mod. I installed the file (update-cm-6.1.0-rc1-hero-signed.zip) on my htc hero and it worked perfect except the rom didnt have a market for buying apps? Anyone know why or how to get it?

hmm you'll probably need to flash a gapps package as well...search for it on the cyanogen site
Having taken the plunge for my first android phone namely the SE X10 on a standard rom and already rooted it, I'm just wondering if any of you would like to give me some tips on what to do next with this phone having being a wm 6.1 user for many years I'm at a bit of a loss with this one I've never used linux or any of the derivatives of that software which I'm lead to believe android is based, so pretty much clueless with this one kind regards Mcpaddy.
Sorry forgot to mention it has android 2.1 update 1 installed on it and its the X10I regards Mcpaddy.

Good places to start:

Basically you need to decide whether you want to go with a totally custom ROM, or modify the SE 2.1 ROM.
If you go total custom there are some guides to do it as telmoabff linked above.
I chose to just mod the 2.1 SE ROM and there are many different options you can go with, also many guides which will help you out.
You can get some very good customization / performance out of the 2.1 SE ROM...however, to get the absolute best performance / totally custom you will have to go with one of the user developed ROMs.
(Since I am kind-of new to this as well someone please correct me if I am wrong.)
I would root, install xrecovery and then z's freex10 b4 froyo rom as its the simplest and most stable rom i have tried. Once you have it running good then make a backup and try out any of the roms that float your boat, you can always just restore back to z's rom if things go wrong. Very hard to break the x10 have put mine in bootloop bout 6 times trying out the cool stuff on here but always been able to fix it!
Just my opinion tho
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
FreeX10 is the base for which all of the X10 Froyo ROMs are built, if you want something that has more tweaks and features Wolfbreak's CyanogenMod 6.1.3 ROM is a good one with a lot of support and features. Id go custom if I were you mainly because of the fact that 2.1 doesnt support Flash or app2sd which are 2 features that really make android great.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
Or you can use freex10 and simply flash cyanogen settings via xrecovery
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
If you want to stick with stock you should sysctl and jit along with few build.prop mods. Just search the forums. I would recommend the Z's freex10 rom for speed and stability. Tripmiui rom for something different.

Even though I got my new phone back in July I think it's also necessary to say thank you Mur4ik and all you other rom developers! Swiftdroid was always my rom of choice, I kinda miss CM7 but it's not available on the Galaxy Ace yet thanks all anyway

Absaloutly pal. Ill be swaping my sensation after a week or so for a Galaxy S2 so i can compare the 2 dual core Demons.
For sensation (stock) 2700 - 3100
GS2 (stock) 3200-3400
GS2 with custom rom 4100's haha quite a significant difference from the Gt540.

Its very easy , and there loads of tutorials on how to.
What you need to do is , Root bye superoneclick,Get clockwork from rom manager, then flash a XXJVQ or what ever from Samfirmware.com then install the rom .zip Easier than our phones (KDZ updater)
The easiest will still be the nexus series all u need to do is boot into boot loader unlock and flash a new rom

You dont actually need to flash CMW, Samsung Stock Recovery works fine for installing .zip's

After listening to u guys talk about aces recovery mode it makes ours a pain in the ass to install
Its really easy, to root: install update.zip in Samsung recovery, unrooting is the same and then you install CMW from ROM manager

Install taboony 2.2 rom and richards 3.7 kernel. Look in the development section and youll find both there.
Im pretty sure ive seen the market issue around but i never read up on it, just use the search funtion. But the rom and kernel i suggested is faster than what you currently have.
Try this guy, he seems to update his ROMs. VirtuPicasso is discontinued now, no more updates. So stick with the living guys

I'm a bigger noob than u are, so I've some question for u; which I'm afraid to ask the senior members for they might get mad for asking them stupid nooby questions; since you u recently learned these tricks u must be very excited to answer my questions.
Q1 Why and how would I flash custom rom to my a500?
Q2 If I constantly flash rom to my device would it harm my device in any way?

Personally i would recommend the Rooted Stock 3.2. I played with few ROMs. And came to conclusion almost all ROMs have some sort issues. Nothing major just different minor ones.
But that Rooted Stock 3.2 is one of the best so far IMO. No issues with any thing runs smoothly/flawlessly. I am using it with Thor Kernel 3.7.

Dude dont worry about asking nooby question, we were all noob once, hell i still am lol. As long you are being respectful and not bashing on the OS for no reason, no one will mind helping or answering your question. Any way back to your questions
Since you new just a heads up. Dont do OTA 3.2 update, or you will have to downgrade and then Root the device.
A1. I am going to assume you have Rooted Device. Why you flash ROM: Well different ROM comes with different app, and may be some added support to hard wares you want, that your stock dont have. Also they have fix for some problems that the stock has, higher efficiency too may be... you get the point.
How you Flash ROM Video Tutorial to give you general idea: Once you have CWM installed, you just get what ever ROM you like to try, put that in SD card. Go in CWM menu, do the necessary wipes of appropriate section. Then install the ROM from SD.
WHAT EVER ROM YOU DECIDE TO USE, JUST READ EVERY THING CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU DIVE IN IT
As for flashing ROM constantly, it will not harm your device, least not that i am aware off. Just as long as you follow proper instructions. Its just like installing windows on PC over and over...
Hey Buzzers. Today i´d like to start a new concept, its called
"Rom of the week", and it is pretty simple.
I love trying out new roms, and i´m sure you do to. So i´ll test some roms, and then every week i´ll be awarding the best rom the title as Rom of the week.
But you guys, are also allowed to come with your suggestions and discuss which rom is best.
//PetDroid
My favorite rom of this week is..
RemPuzzlerom. This is mainly because of its awesome features, including the new "Beats audio" thing, the fastness. Everything is just so fast and i just love Sense!.
This was a short post, but thats just my opinion. What do you think?
This is a great thread started on my opinion, i guess you will state issues and make comparisons through tested roms. Unfortunately, i don't have time doing this lately to do so, that's a reason i find it nice.

CM7.2 Build 16, not so smooth but extremely customizable. I love it
Cyanogenmod
Yup, i also really like CM7. Just dont know why, like sense better
Grate idea . Will save us a lot of time searching for roms and updates.
Can u also provide links to the rom of the week please .
Then if I may cm9 buzz kang rc0 (erwinp and Arco ) I know the rom still have some bugs but it should be listed in my opinion just for the fact that we were told our wildfire not good enough to run ics . This is my daly rom .

Dont get me wrong, but, this thread is useless, there are several other threads like this, such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485583
Basically, youre doing the same thing. You could, though, comment on roms in that thread to reduce number of threads on this subforum as its getting bloated with useless threads and we, wildfire veterans, dont like it, just like others who come here to search for useful info.

I've been a fan of CyanogenMod, so for now is CM7.2 RC1.
I tested some of the ICS Roms, but without the camera working, I'll keep with GB instead.
Nice thead!

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to be asking for help, but, did you wipe (using CWM) before flashing the new ROM? That might be the issue here.
Also, back on topic, I'm another vote for Erwin's awesome CM9 builds, if you don't mind the roughness of it.
