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!!

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.

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.
Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has thought about posting a poll for the most popular Eris roms..or is that just not cool/not needed/uninteresting/stop asking stupid questions you stupid newb?
Or maybe it's a good idea..and now I can't edit the poll to add that as an option..
Just try different roms yourself. Everyone likes different ones.

Thanks for the suggestion..that one seems to be a really popular one, I starting to lean that way as my starting point..
Best Eris Rom ?
I agree that it really depends on personal opinon.
As I haven't tried very many ROM's, actually only 2 , I have researched this quite extensively and the 2 I have tried and like verrrry much are:
KaosFroyo - I was running v37, but v38 just came out an hour ago
NonsensikalFroyo - I have run 9.5 & 10.1 Black & Blue but im flashing 10.8.1 B&B now
.... both have released updates within the last 24-48 hours.
I havent tried TazzFroyo but I would make that these the top 3 to try first !
Nonsensikal is a Cyanogen Mod build, Kaos is a CM/AOSP build
I hope this helps you narrow things. Happy flashing
Awesome!! Thanks so much! I'm probably going to flash KaosFroyo first since so many have suggested it..
Thanks again!
I just went to kaosfroyo v38. Its sick but celbfroyo is good cause its faster
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
celbfroyo is faster eh? Are you overclocking on the KFv38? Is it noticeably laggy?

I second that notion. Also I dont keep up with whats happenning with these roms and just check back here around once a month. It would be really cool if there were constantly new polls that would allow people like me to see what is popular at that point in time to give us a reference point of what to check out.
Thanks for the +1..maybe I just need to start a real one and people will jump on board.
I don't know what overclocking is. I have tazzfroyo now an its faster than v38
Sent from my Vanilla Tazz using XDA App
Overclocking allows you to run the processor at higher than stock speeds. I think most people are running it at around 750mhz where the stock speed is 528mhz.
Basically you can unlock a lot of hidden speed by overclocking at the sacrifice of some battery life.
Your rom may already have an overclocking app installed..do a search for it if your interested, I know I am
It would be a lot of bias. People get attached to roms and their developers so yeah. And different phones will behave differently with different roms.
Looking to update my daughters Eris and was wondering what you guys might recommend for a Sense based ROM? Been lurking in the Incredible and G-Tab forums, but out the loop in the Eris forum. Thanks!

Xtrsense would be my suggestion. Can't go wrong with it.
Sent from my Ginger Tazz using XDA App
if by "update", you mean a Sense-based 2.2+ ROM, there are a few options, but nothing that is fully functional and recommended for daily use for the Eris.

if by "update", you mean a Sense-based 2.1 ROM with root and nice performance/battery tweaks, check out zach.xtr's xtrSENSE, it's a very nice sense 2.1 build.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726467
hope this helps get you started. i always thought i would come running back to a Sense ROM, but i made the switch over to KaosFroyo and now GSB and couldn't be happier.
zach.xtr's xtrSENSE!!
Definately zach.xtr's xtrSENSE. Very smooth and functional.
If you desire something with just the sense look, I recommend Shed's Gingerbread with the fancy widgets app. Fancy Widgets give you the clock and weather on the main screen like sense and Shed's ROM is, well, just incredible. I'm running those now cause I liked the look of sense but wanted gingerbread. Fancy Widgets is free in the market.
Same thing as they all said. xtrSENSE is what I'm running now.
Appreciate it! Going to give xtrSENSE a try. This will be an upgrade from Plain Jane, which has been a great ROM, but it's been giving her little trouble lately.
Villain Rom for the Gsm hero, its the best
I need to narrow down my search for the fastest Eris ROM available as I use my Eris for work and speed is more important to me than beauty (but if both can be accomplished, then by all means... ) Anyway, any suggestions? Also, along the same line, will 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 ROMs be quickest (as well as Sense-based vs. Non-Sense-based)? I have tried a few ROMs, but am looking to your opinion so that I don't wind up testing every ROM . Also, I have bought LauncherPro Plus and Beautiful Widgets, so Sense widgets aren't a huge deal to me. Thanks!

It's impossible to say - everybody's mix of apps is different, and what one person reports as faster another may report as slower. It's really not that hard to flash a few ROMs and try them out for a while and see what works best for you.

Pretty much this. But I will say, Gingerbread ROMs are supposed to be the fastest, and non-Sense should be faster than Sense any day.
KaosFroyo was insane when i was there, but now i use the Gingerbread rom that is supposedly a port of CM7 which has been running pretty good for me
None sense Gingerbread roms definitely from my experience are the quickest I've tried.

I would generally agree that non-sense/gb roms are going to be your best bet. KaosFroyo, may be a good route to go; especially if you need stability, or anything aosp, and without any bloat.... You may also play around with using different launchers too, as they can effect the speed, stability, and general feel of any rom. I like LP, but others are sleeker and smoother. There are also tons of Benchmark tests on the market that can be used if you want to see numbers- but I agree that your mix of apps/rom/launcher/ and intended use will greatly influence what fits you best.
And anything that is fast already can be overclocked..... setcpu has some great advanced settings that can help you find a balance of speed/battery useage (unless you have a charger/usb charger nearby in your line of work).

I'm running v22 GingerTazz BTW, and was on KaosFroyo before that... all slightly overclocked.
like i said, Kaos was an excellent dev and worked Froyo for all its money when he was around. KaosFroyo is by far the most stable rom around
Agree with Darca about non-Sense Gingerbread ROMs. I'm using GSB 3.1 (and have used KaosFroyo) and think it's the best hands down.

Your signature does not agree with your statement.
I have been on the 7.0.3 Cyanogen since it came out and seem twice as fast as any sense ROM I have used...
We can thank Tazz for that

I was originally rooted and ran Das Bamf for a while but it bothered me that the front facing camera and voicemail notifications did not work, so I unrooted and upgraded to OTA.
Here is what I'm looking for in a ROM:
* Gingerbread based
* 100% phone functions work as they should (front facing camera, voicemail notifications, etc.)
* Bloatware removed
* Stock interface (sense or AOSP) ... I'm just not much for customized screens, fonts, etc.
Is there a ROM for me?

how is this guy not banned yet for being so picky?
well, i'd say probably Das BAMF (sense based) although those folk aren't welcome around these parts. you'll have to look elsewhere for their ROMs.
Until Verizon and HTC release an official Gingerbread build for this phone, the Voicemail from Verizon will not work properly.
I've tried just about every sense ROM there is. There are versions of visual voicemail that work...but I sold myself to Google Voice a while ago...and I should've done it sooner.
Any GB build is based off a leak and folks "Tweaking" things to get them to work.
You could try 10 different ones, I'd damn near guarantee none of them will have 100% of everything working (as pointed out by VM...for starters).
There are quite a few good choices... DroidTh3ory builds a mean, lean and fast one.
DAS BAMF is nice as is Virus ROMs (Synergy).
There are plenty others, but these are the main three I bounce between...
Get into a good nandroid habit...and you can go from one ROM to the next in 20 minutes or so...and learn basic ADB Shell commands in case you bork...download the Android SDK.
Voicemail and FFC work on AOSp ROMs.

Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I disagree on bamf sense 3.0 working great. It works, has its bugs but its not like aosp so I agree with Droid theory. And btw his roms are excellent. I've used gingered. And infused before I switched to liquid thunderbread and he just came out with an aosp. So props on that. And besides I feel bad for you for going back to stock with bloatware and slowdownthephones absolute potential ware. Hahahahs. And ffc and voicemail have worked fine forr me. With every rom I've had. It didn't like to work on stock though.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA App
Im in the same boat. I just got a TBolt and have it rooted, but am a little confused about all the ROMS (Sense 2.1, 3.0, etc) Should I just stay with rooted "stock" until GB is officially out?
Quick question.... Boot newbie question.... What us aosp?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
AOSP is android open source project. Google gave devs their code and told em to go to town to help develop better software. The difference between aosp and sense is this. Sense roms are typically 269 MB or more. Aosp roms are 69-79 MB smaller more efficient and extremely faster.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA App
Try DroidTh3ory's AOSP 1.1.1. This is the fastest, and most stable AOSP experience I've had. Totally bloat-free, 100% functionality, best performance of any rom, hands down.
AOSP - Android Open Source Project - Barebones android, released to dev's to fine-tune for devices.
Sense - HTC's 'fine-tuning' of AOSP, including 200mb+ of 'pretty' and 'shiny' and 'bloaty' and 'whatever else verizon, amazon, htc, your mom wants to stick in there.'
So I'm currently running Bamf 3.0 rc4.9 is considered aosp or sense? Do you still have all functionality of sense Roms? Does running an aosp extend battery life? Oh another newb question.... How do I make a nandroid backup? Is it a app or just recovery image? Thanks in advance

You are running sense 3.0 so it is not aosp at all. It may be fast but does not compare to any of the aosp roms. when I first switched to an aosp rom my eyes started glowing with the speeds. For example I was running Gingered theory and got 1885 on my quadrant scores. (Overclocked to 1.9) And when I switched to aosp I got 3000 on just 1.4 overclocked.

Yep. You're good. When you flash a new rom it will get rid of your current kernel. Cause roms already come with kernels.
There are kernels for aosp and sense. Use aosp kernel for aosp. Don't use sense!
Aosp is fast for sure. Sense roms have better battery now IMO. But aosp will catch up.
