Hi, i was wondering what your favorite 2.2 (froyo) roms where, and why.
I am aware of two:
KayosFroyo and Cyanogen tazz
are there more than those? what one is your favorite?
Well by a simple glance at the thread list you can see all the Froyo roms available, but besides that I don't think this belongs in the development section.

I have tried them both and have to say that I like Cyanogen better. The Kayos made my launcher freeze up a lot, especially when it changed from portrait to landscape. I also noticed that when I backed out of an app sometimes it would have to reload it too. (the launcher) I also feel like Cyanogen is faster.Other than that they are both great roms.
i believe there is a total of 4 froyo roms for the eris. CELB Froyo by Conap, Nonsensikal by listyb01, cyanogen tazz by tazzpatriot, and kaos froyo by kaos. i think all the froyo roms are great. i have been flashing between cyanogentazz and celbfroyo from the start and i usually end up sticking with celb. everyday it seems that all the froyo roms have an update available and all of them seem very stable to me. i would give the links to these roms but i cant post links in the forums yet. so you have to search but its worth checking out the other two roms that you did not mention.

From a performance and functionality stand point which is the better froyo rom?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I'm not going to say what is the BETTER rom. They are both very good. My personal opinion is celb if I had to choose between the two. Also don't forget about cyanogentazz which is also a very good froyo rom.

You could also give Nonsensikal a try its the newest of the Froyo builds.

Tazz.

Kaos updates his ROM it seems like every two days. That's good because you know he is active in developing the ROM. Most are no wipe, so updates are simple.
In fact, he posted an update the other day on the same day that the new search was introduced. Included in the ROM.
That being said, my daily is CELB Froyo. ELB was my first rooted ROM.

Is there really that much of a difference between the froyo roms? It seems to me that they update the same things basically at the same time. I assume they all talk on andIRC cause Ive seen them all in there I believe. The main source comes from cynaogen, kernels from another person, vender trees from yet another, so whats the differences, besides name and Background Picture?
+1 for Nonsensikal, i just flashed it and it is the most stable Froyo rom yet. Plus the blue is pretty awesome.

They all add their own tweaks for speed and battery life and things like that. They add their own backgrounds and ringtones. Also system apps. I actually switched back to tazz. I love the customizable power widget (would be even better if I could choose the indicator color. Going for a red theme don't know If that's even possible though). Also the toggle 2g app is awesome. And the themed version I also like. Now I don't have to fool around with metamorph. Its all just a matter of personal preference.

I downloaded Power Widget from the Market (I think it's like a buck or 2) and you can alter the indicator to any color you want. You can also adjust the transparency, have up to 7 buttons on the widget, and choose the size. I have 7 buttons on 1 widget and it's 1x3 in size.
I used Kaos. Out of all the ones I tried had the least bugs and Kaos is a classy dev on top of it, not like the others are not. I just tried to stick with Kaos because he had originally brought Froyo to the Eris.

Yeah I tried that widget but some of them didn't work like the data toggle.

Kaos seems to work the best for me. But in the end, all the Froyo roms have a bit of each dev in them. Go with what works best for you.
I agree with samlemur. I've tried kaos and tazz and I prefer kaos. Mostly because it had the camera fix first and I use the camera heavily.

What's Celeb Froyo? All I've been able to find is CELB Froyo...
kaos. and it's CELB. not celeb. I'm not joking this time.
Well okay I am joking. But I'm not. It Cyanogen Eris Lightning Bolt. Not some kind of rom celebrities use.

Lol.
I'm running kaos but it's hard to say, I flash between these froyo kind of often as these awesome devs we have consistently conjure them up for us. Lately I've been between nonsensikal and kaos, kaos froyo v32 may be the smoothest and quickest so far with less lag than other versions/roms.

Hey guys, been rooted ever since I got my eris, all the devs that have been working on both Froyo and 2.1 ROMS are awesome, don't know how you do what you do!
So here's my Question... When do any of you guys see a sense enabled froyo base rom? I have been switching between all the major froyo builds (tazz, kaos, celeb) and love the speed and reliability of them, but I personally like the stuff htc had done with the OS with the Sense UI. Right now I'm running EvilEris v.4, and that's working for me now, I was just wondering.
This post might do better in the general section, but everyone over here seems to know their stuff.
Thanks for any answers!!
Sent from my EvilEris using XDA App
I'm trying to port one, so if it works it will come soon.
I wish Ye luck with that. I'd like to help were I can, would be grateful. I wonder if you're doing a port from the legend or the desire?
I love SenseUI. But any Sense ROM that was 2.1 just lagged in certain areas on my phone. Would be awesome to see a Sense 2.2 ROM without any lag.
So far all of my port attempts have failed but the work continues. I personally can't stand sense ui but a froyo sense port would be sweet.
Sent from my nonsensikal Froyo
If I could make a suggestion could it be the espresso version of senseui(the one you like see on the MyTouch Slide), as I have found that to be a bit faster).
I'm also working on porting this... wish me luck!
It's great to see so many developers working on this. I'm hopeful to see one soon.

try Ivan's 1.0. I've had absolutely no lag and I've had over a month's worth of use on it all together.
until a developer comes out with the sense froyo you can alteast use the vatsense docks for launcher pro http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743703
xtrSense will accomodate all of your needs and desires.
I like it better than AOSP Froyo ROMs. Cyanogen added features that only SenseUI had, to make AOSP Android better.
SenseUI > AOSP, and there isn't a WHOLE lot that Froyo Sense does that 2.1 xtrSense by zach.xtr doesn't already do. Just some things that he has to use apps for that Froyo has built in. No big deal.
Just been wondering why are there so many people developing so many different roms? Wouldn't you think it would be better if a couple or a few of them worked together on one?
How does one choose?
Any recommendations on a 2.2?
Thanks
Because not everyone has the same taste. Some like sense, some don't. You'll also notice developers often give thanks to others for help. As far as 2.2 Kaosfroyo is good. Currently using CYAGONTAZZ. Like it so far.

Even that statement is sorta confusing...

Sense is the HTC user interface. I've heard that ROMS w/o sense run a lot faster, but personally I like sense. I do not believe 2.2 has sense right now. I personally enjoy CynogenTazz and CELB 2.1 (its froyo, the updates just put it at version 2.1 right now)

some develop roms for their own personal taste, then they share it.

Everyone has a different taste. About the 2.2 Sense Rom, I'm working on one, just don't get your hopes up...
So I've been away from XDA for a little bit... (well just not checking it everyday like I used to)... but I was wondering if I could get some peoples opinions on which of the latest Gingerbread ROMs is the best one? I wanna give GB a test run and see if I like it on my Eris but want to get some feedback to see which ROM would be best to test first...
I have CyanogenMOD 7.0.0 RC1 Gingerbread NIGHTLY for the Droid Eris (workshed), and It's really good, one of the best ones out there.
TastyBread! Only saying that cuz that's my gb build lol. There are 3 so far so just flash them all and see which one you would like best!

I think Kaos has a build available as well. I agree you should try each one if your goal is to play around and "test". Give Shed a minute to update his latest release (1.8) by flashing one of the other three available builds, including the above quoted item.
Ginger Tazz 10 /3.3.11/ Stable/Blackened Ginger 2/2/22/11 {cm7} - Offers an interesting looking "Blackened" version as well
[ROM] **TastyBreadBuild v1** (Android 2.3.2)
[GINGERBREAD] KaosGingerbread V8
[ROM] GSB v1.8 | GingerBread 2.3.3 [CM7.0.0 RC1 NIGHTLY][3-3-2011] - my current driver, running 1.7 now and will wait until 1.8 is updated as outlined by Shed in his most recent post.
I vote for ginger Tazz v10 runs fast and strong.

I'd reccomend turning on the screen effects on launcher pro. They work well on the Eris. I like the one that makes the screen look like flipping walls.

I like all of LP's transition effects, but I settled on "Scale". I hope they will add a "Random" option to change the transition effect between all the options, not in one series of flips, but between flipping sessions.
I agree. gingerbread nightly is a good one
GSB is indeed a great build. I tried all the other roms and nothing is more stable than GSB. Though, I do believe that 1.6 is the most stable and the only version that works with swype for me.

I myself had fallen for the 'Scale' effect in LP. I recently installed Go Launcher EX (can't post you a link, check it out on market.android), I'm liking it...though I seem to be addicted to change, can't keep the same theme/apps for longer than a week. Especially with all the ROM flashing.
And PS, Go Launcher has that 'Random' screen transition option you're looking for. Give it a shot should you feel so inclined. There doesn't seem to be a 'Scale' equivalent, but 'Bulldoze' is an interesting alternative animation. I use the 'Roll' effect right now because it suits my theme.
Sorry to get so far off-topic.
Tazz Gingerbread v10 is beast. I'm not gonna lie.

Thanks! That's one of those apps/launchers that I thought looked interesting way back but it was too early in development. Now that it's matured some, it may be time for me to take a serious look at it.
GSB has been the most stable for me. Tried kaos and Tazz, but had a few issues. GSB has been running strong.
I'm running gsb and its great very smooth and fasy

I'm happy with GSB, I've never tried GingerTazz but I'm sure it's good too. When they both came out, I just couldn't decided which one to flash.
Workshed had done some cool stuff with DualROM, Tazz had done cool stuff with the FroyoSense rom.
I literally did eenie-meenie-miney-mo to pick between the two. And GSB was what I ended up with just by chance.
I can't judge the different GB roms as I have only just installed GSB about 15 mins ago, but the sheer difference in speed and responsiveness from froyo to GSB is dramatic.

I'm running GSB 2.0 and it's great.
Can anyone put a post together with the diferences between each of the GB ROMS?
Been using TyTung's ROM on my HD2. Works great and love Vanilla Android. Looking for a Vanilla Android ROM for the Vibrant. Did do some searches and came up with nothing. What am I missing. No themes or anything is what I am after. Was hoping someone ported the Nexus S source to the Vibrant.
There is CM7 on the dev section, but as for an aosp rom for the vibrant that isn't CM7, you're out of luck.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Agreed, CM7 is as close as you are going to get. why not have the extra features of CM7?
I just noticed GPS barely works on the stock 2.2 I had on this thing as well. If only the HD2 didn't have the HUGE screen it would be perfect. Anything other than the Cyanogen? Tried it for a bit but seemed sluggish. GPS looks like no one has a fix for yet.
Sluggish? Did you turn the screen on and off once?
