Can someone tell me which Rom is more stable and has best features I have Droid Eris Verizon phone
honestly, I think it has to do alot with the phone in question as to how stable it is. you can read up on the different roms and see how some find each one very stable and some dont. as far as best features, well thats up to you. What I might like or want you might not. I have personally run Ivans 1.0 and Sense-able 3.1, and am sticking with Sense-able for now at least
this same question has been asked a dozen times...
my personal favorite is Senseable 3 by jamezelle, but for most stock looking, Eris Official by ivanmmj would work just as well. Some people say Evil Eris or Tainted Vanilla are fast as well. just personal preference.
iam using sense able 3 and so far it has been stable i had few issues with it but it now resolved thanks guys for the help
glad you got one. i have been using senseable for a while now, absolutely love it.
Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0.
I like plain old sense UI, and Ivan has been cooking ROMs for years. It's perfect, fast, and looks like Sense UI is supposed to look. Perfect and stable.

After reading this forum for quite a while, am i the only person who's sitting on the fence when it comes to ROMs?
All the ROMs which i checked out have one problem or another.... either not stable, slower than stock, buggy, or lack in one department or another. I don't really see the point of updating to any ROMs if there are some unresolved issues.
Is there any 2.0 based roms which are not buggy and which have all functions working perfectly? Or should i wait until the official ROM comes out?
copying my thread?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627494
Didn't see your thread... sorry. Seems like we are in the same boat.
that is why i stay with modaco rom xD faster then the original & keep those most function with speed boost.
Seems to be the sae reasonas to why im also trying to dig into customising roms. Though,thus far, any un-official rom i have tested thus far seems to be atleast just as stable as any official rom, except they tend to be alot faster. Might be worth it to try and get some sort of guide started once i know how it all works. One of the issues i didnt manage to find anything on yet is signing a modified rom .zip-archive.
One thing ill definately share when ive completed it will be a very stripped down sense 2.1 rom, and then try to see where i can get from there. Im currently in-between villain rom and the 1.6 beta rom with cooker app, switching back and forth from one another...
Atleast that tought me how to backup and restore things should i keep you all updated if anything changes?
How do you like villain? have you tried kagu? I'm undecided between the two..
i'm using ckdroid ... it's quite fast. very stable and fulfills all of my needs
if you don't really need / want a 2.x rom you should definitly go with modaco for the great tweaks and speed improvements!
also, the first ported roms from cyanogen are being released!
most of present quirks come from drivers not being available for 2.x roms from htc because they haven't realeased them in their own 2.x rom yet. just be a little more patient.
there are already rumors of an official 2.1 htc rom with sense coming out in the beginning of march

As the Villain chef, you'd possibly expect me to promote my own rom. However, I find Kagu to be an outstanding rom. lox has done a great job with it. If I wanted a quick, Vanilla, feature-rich rom, I'd go with Kagu.
I love Sense UI though... hence Villain.
Kagudroid is good, CKDroid is awesome, but they are both Vanilla roms.
I like Villain ROM much better because of Sense UI, even though it's still a bit buggy and is a little slower. totally worth it for me.
You've obviously not been 'round the Dream parts of the forum...
I own a droid, and have already rooted it, running CM6, got it down pretty alright. So I'm not all that new to rooting. But my sister has a Droid Eris, and I was looking to root that for her. I plan on using the 1 click rooting app mentioned here, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend any ROMs and/or Kernels that I should use? She's not much of a power user, I'm mostly trying to speed it up for her and get rid of stock apps and such, so any help would be great. Thank you in advance
KaosFroyo
[ Sent from my HTC Droid Eris | KaosFroyo v31 ]
Kaosfroyo is really great and the other two froyo roms on here I've read great things about them too I've just only used kaos and I highly recommend it
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
Id suggest a frayo rom there's a few going around I personally recommend kaos frayo V32 very fast and stable, very great build. Its overclocked to 710 out of box.
my rom is pretty great also
You could also use mine, that is if you want a rom that is stock but with speed tweaks and themes.
I would also suggest one of the froyo roms. Tazz Cyanogen Froyo is really smooth and fast. Of course I think this would be a great rom for anyone.
I'd suggest running jcase's PlainJane rom and check out the new BFS kernel.
I just got a warranty replacement phone, rooted the old way and put PlainJane on there (I had been running PlainJaneT2 which just adds support for A2SD but that only complicates upgrading to froyo later) did a nandroid backup then flashed that BFS kernel and ran a linpack benchmark right after scoring near 2.5 without overclocking (PlainJane barebones absolute stock 2.1 with SuperUser and OC support)
I suggest PlainJane because it's simple, you can get moderate EXTREMELY stable performance gains, get rid of bloatware, run wifi tether and no one would be the wiser that the handset was rooted. Your sister can then confidently explore the app market, slowly get into changing some settings, try a new launcher and at some point then maybe she'd have some interest in froyo...
As great as the Eris Froyo roms are you should face the fact that they're all intended for moderately android savvy users or at least novices with aspirations to learn a LOT more on their own. Few users will ever root their phone to begin with, even fewer will go the distance learning command line for abd and the fact that you're rooting her ERIS is evidence enough imho that you should be putting the LEAST complicated MOST stock solution if you intend to do this for her.
If she walks into a verizon store with her phone she'll get no help, If she loses ANYTHING can't use something she wants to for any reason it'll be YOUR fault and she will VERY quickly forget the hours you spent tweeking her phone to squeeze out a couple more MFLOPS that she'll honestly never really use.
that's my take

That was my thinking as well. I've looked through the forums a bit, and I'm assuming you're talking about these:
(Just realized I can't post links, would it be any trouble for you to post links to the ROM and kernel threads you're talking about so I can verify?)
Just want to make sure we're on the same page?
Thanks to everyone for your speedy replies and help. I'm definitely looking into all these, see what might work best and try to explain to her what might work best for her.
I am running CELB and loving it. I had issues with kaosfroyo and forcecloses.

Jcase Plain Jane 2.1 is a good stable ROM and agree with psilocybenine's comment.
Another good stable ROM to check into could be Sense-able 3.1. I play around and try out all the new roms that come out but this one is my everyday one for it stability. (plus I like the simple blue theme). Have not had any problems.
good luck

Thank you! That seems perfect. Another quick question though, of those two (PlainJane and Sense-able) which is most like the standard Eris UI? I want my sister to have as little trouble as possible when using it

My bad, sorry about that, I'll remember it next time thank you. As for the KaosFroyo is that one a fairly simple ROM? again, trying to think of my sister here and ease of use
All plain jane does is add oc capability a d superuser rights. Senseable has speed tweaks and apps2sd and some other tweaks. Both are sense based and are like stock with added root fun.

If you want something as close to the standard Eris UI, then that might be Plain Jane. Sense-able has some bloatware removed and other features but not to far off once you get it set up. Just read the threads thoroughly. Sense-able has a couple of add -on fixes (updated the dialer and a text input fix).
Sens Based ROM all hands up for Plain Jane. Fast, stable and sense. I would highly reccomend it as far as sense based rom. As far as Froyo my choice definitely goes to nonsensikal =)

its AOSP(vanilla) and the others mentioned above are sense based, which is how the phone comes so if you want a stock feel i used plainjane but you might want to try them both out mabey one suits you better. as far as ease i think they are all pretty easy to get used to.

not all are sense based bro
As much as I love the Froyo roms, all of them have small flaws that a not-so-power-user would quickly get frustrated with. The camera issue is one of the most notable. She would have to take a picture, then close the camera and open the gallery to view it. If she tried to preview the picture from within the camera, her phone would lock and she would have to pull the battery. If she's cool with that, put her on a Froyo rom. They're all pretty great!
If she wants pure stability and only wants to download and use apps, put her on a 2.1 rom with Apps2SD. Sense UI eats up a lot of the Eris's speed so I would recommend one without it. Plus it's like getting a new phone when you swith from Sense to non Sense based rom. Conap's ELB is my personal favorite but some of the others mentioned in this thread are also pretty stable.

not to be rude but thats kinda what you gotta do is make a night of it and dl the roms you wanna try out and just see what you think of each one.... ive ran 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 and personally i like conap roms, all of his stuff has been super reliable for me...all the roms out there are gonna be snappy and quick it just comes down to your own prefrence, i might like vanilla and you might like sense.

sense or any other type of rom it doesn't really matter to me. I am just looking for the fastest and most reliable rom.
Its all personal preference, and downloading/testing a few is your best option to find the fastest/clean running ROM for you. Some Eris' act up on certain ROMS whereas others wont. Ill personally tell you that my phone was laggy and force closed alot when I used some of the Eris 2.1 sense ROMS, even with overclocking. Keep in mind though that I was the only person having those problems on ROMS that worked great for many. Now I run CM Froyo ROMS and those tend to satisfy my needs. IMO Nonsesikal has worked best for me, particularly Vanilla 13.7. That version isnt on the ROM thread either. You'll have to go to the thread, click to download an older version, and it'll take you to the site that has all versions for download. Give 13.7 a shot if you'd like, but remember that it may take a few ROMS before your happy.

I liked nonsensikal as well. I just rely on my phone a lot, and with the Froyo ROMs, I invariably run into a bug that I don't have time to workaround, so I switch back to xtrSense. It's fast and its stable. Thats why I like it. But I do have a wandering eye.

thanks. anyone else
i been using froShedYo and it works perfect for me.. best rom ive used by far
I've said this elsewhere but I'll repeat it. +1 xtrSENSE or xtrROM. They were so good that they are what remained on my phone for the longest periods of time (3-4 months) and the ONLY reason that I moved on from them is that they worked so well (i.e., reliable) that I was bored and wanted to tinker more. LOL. I'm very serious, though.
If I had to choose one over the other, I'd probably choose xtrSENSE. Or at least start with that and if you get comfortable enough with that, you could move to xtrROM later.
I like xtrSense too. It's just fast without the extra bugs or anything. The only bug I have is the 50% cell time standby bug but I think that's dependent on the phone.
CELB most definately if you like CM and Froyo.
FroShedYo is a tie, if you want something customized/themed. V6 is my fav. Haven't tried V7 yet, but I would guarantee its stable, fast and it has the same theme as V6. Also the purple is really cool. That's what my wife is using.

Hello, Fascinate fans. I am running the stock 2.2 verizon rom. I just rooted with SuperOneClick and am thinking about trying a custom rom. I use CM7 on my Nook Color and it works great, but I am not ready to try early builds of that for the Fascinate yet. I am looking for a rom that:
-has all hardware working
-is debinged
-is very stable
-has little to no bloatware (only verizon thing I need is 'My Verizon Mobile')
-is based on Froyo or newer
-is snappy, but not enough to kill the battery in half a day
-is easy to flash (I am not ready for flashing radios and such until I am comfortable flashing roms on this phone)
BONUS POINTS: Fixes or removes the GPS toggle in the notification area that rarely works. (This drove me crazy for a few weeks until I realized that the safe way to turn the GPS on is to use the normal settings screen!)
What do the experts recommend? I'm sure I will be flashing nightly within 6 months or so, but want to take it easy for now as I was addicted to flashing roms on my Touch Pro.
Thank you!

Community rom 1.3. It pretty much meets all of your needs minus the gps thing. I don't think that can be modded yet.
I've been KANGBANGED!!!!!
Almost forgot. It's built from froyo source so the stock ed01 radio will do just fine. I also suggest activating voodoo on the kernal that it comes with. Hope this helps.
I've been KANGBANGED!!!!!
Keeping it mainstream you have two options. At least the most popular roms come down to two choices the community rom, or evil fascinate rom. Both great choices I'm sure that should meet your needs just fine. Personally I'm on com rom but have heard great things about evil. Seems to be some childishness forming a silly rivalry between the two, but I think there pretty similar to the average end user.
My personal preference is evil fascination. Can't really explain why other than I really dig the dark theming nitro integrated. There are other small differences, mostly aesthetic, so why not try them both? Both are great and supported regularly by great developers.

i tried the com rom, and at the time, there was a problem with it auto-rotating even if i didnt want it to. i don't know if it has been fixed but that was one of the main reasons i switched to evil fascinate. ever since i switched to evil fascinate, everything worked perfectly for me and i loved the overall theme of it so i stuck with it. and now i love it, and i have no real desire to switch back to com rom.

I haven't read any competitive banter from the devs themselves (except for Nitsuj expressing his preference for ComROM, but even then he didn't knock Evil Fascination). It's mostly the fanboys going back and forth. Actually, the two are very similar and I like them both
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll try Community Rom first. I'm sure I can find some guides on how to flash once I have time to search. I have Clockwork Mod installed, so that's probably half the battle.
I still like the blackhole fascinate

I am looking for a stable rom with sense 3.6 or higher or aosp or kang but with stable bluetooth, camera, and hotspot.
Anyone aware of one out there?
I'd search but I'd rather save time and ask people with experience with a rom instead of relying on posts.
Much appreciation!
I am new to this stuff on the Rezound, but I did a lot of research trying to find the right ROM for me. I wanted stable and capable so I chose Nil's Business Sense ROM. It is rock solid and everything works that you mentioned plus HDMI through a MHL adapter. I am very pleased with it. Here is a link to the thread where it is discussed.
Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6
Nils looks like he will be around the developer scene for the Rezound for a long time, so I consider that a big plus too.

Here's what needs to be said. This has been asked so many times its getting out of hand. As each person will tell you a different rom every rom in existence is going to be posted. Why don't you just read the OP of each rom and start trying them. I can tell you first hand that not everyone's Rezound responds the same to roms, tweaks, kernels, etc.....
