Ok I just put AOSP's Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM on my hero and this is by far the fastest my phone has ever run.
Phenomenal

Man, I haven't touched the ROM in my Evo for months. I need to upgrade it. Where did you find the ROM/instructions? I assume it's on XDA.
Yes it is on XDA.. I would assume that the Evo would have something similar available.
I also recently learned how to manually change my PRL which are the set of instructions that tells the phone which towers to use when roaming. I updated it to a modified PRL which forces roaming and uses all of the Verizon towers for my data (they have slightly faster 3g speeds). I found that while there was a difference, it was not very large and a little inconsistent so I switched back to the official sprint PRL. Still a pretty badass thing to do and there are a ton of PRLs out there, so I will probably test more as I have time. (also found on XDA)
asop is the way to go. just put launcher pro instead of the normal launcher and you have a beast quick phone even if its old tech like the hero
Some users seem to be having problems with AOSP's rom on Evo (constant reboots). Hmmm.
And now xda is down. Feeling ill, so I'm going to take a nap and perhaps it will be back up in an hour.
Holy crap there are 47,000,000 roms out now for the Evo. I can't even find one that doesn't seem to have a lot of bugs with it. Might just stick with the old Netarchy build I have right now, as all of my phone functions work with it.
I'll ask my buddy what he flashed to a week or two ago, he's been really happy with it.
He used Cyanogen 7 if that helps.
Yeah, that's by far the most popular.
Said everything sped way up and his battery life nearly doubled.
I would probably go with CM. It has extremely high dev attention, is constantly being upgraded, and (this is probably the best) Cyanogen's phone is the Evo. Go with the most recent "stable" build instead of the nightlies and you should be ok. You can actually download CM directly from ROM manager so you don't even have to navigate to find it.
It is also the ROM that many MANY other ROMs are based off of. AOSP actually takes CM and strips away the CM specific stuff to give you an almost vanilla experience. (OMGB, or OMFGB give you a fully vanilla exp, and it is also based off of CM)
Cyanogen mod is ing amazing. Wow. I can't believe I waited this long. I thought Froyo was fast... Gingerbread is basically instantaneous!
Now to see if I can get my PSX emulator to work. ^_^
Is there an instruction on how to install cyanogen? I know nothing about phone roms....
Yes, there's a wiki from Cyanogen on it. Let me outline it for you. Two things first:
Which phone do you have? This dictates basically everything you're going to use to install a custom rom.
You need to have your phone rooted with nand access. Have you done this yet?
EVO. Nope I have not rooted it yet. I have been using the z4 ap to do the temp root. It just started to not work though (at leats for wifi tether...) so I need to do the perm root somehow.
This is just stupid, wtf?

Uh. Wow. I kind of like my new ROM/Kernel.
Eh, they have to put forth a good faith effort as a show for the content providers, just like Netflix, etc. It won't last for very long.
Even Apple hasn't done this, and they got em all on for cloud music coming up.
I thought it was just weird and stupid, especially considering this:

Hi Guys,
Just changed from my jailbroken 3GS to the nice new Samsung Galaxy SII - and I gotta say wow, what an amazing piece of hardware. The decision to choose this over iPhone 4 was pretty easy. I loved my iPhone, but geez, this Galaxy is incredible!
Just wondering if anybody can give me a list of good apps - I'm to lazy to trawl through the whole market right now. Any sort of apps, games, widgets or even system mods? Is it hard to "root" the phone?
