Some suggestions:
1) update to the newest version (kaosFroyo is at v38, I believe)
2) look through the kaosFroyo thread to see if others are having similar issues
3) try a different ROM
It's good to try different ROMs anyway. They are all a little different and you won't really know which one you like the best until you try several.

Also... before you flash the new rom make sure you dalvik and factory wipe.

I've tried a bunch of these ROMs and most of them have so much junk packed into them. So far the cleanest smoothest ROM is:
[ROM][GPL] CELB Froyo 3.5(Trackball and Led notifications working )10-26-10
Conap keeps all the junk out for you to install yourself. All these ROMs have a little camera issue. If you leave the camera app open and walk from your phone it'll reboot the phone. I can live with that one.
Try that CELB Froyo 3.5 it's really smooth.

For the camera issue, try using Vignette (awesome 3rd party cam) or camera magic.
Btw, my rom is pretty much modeled after conap's, so you can included FroShedYo in that list too ... less junk... more phone

Totally agree... worth every penny fo sho! Camera magic is damn nice for being free, too. And it's the quickest to activate ... but picture quality isn't as good as Vignette's.

Stock Gallery3D!

I noticed that the HTC sense gallery does not have Picassa integration like the stock gallery does. I got the stock Froyo Gallery3D.apk and installed it and it works fine so I decided to attach here for everyone!
Just download put on sd card, click with astro or the like, choose install with package installer, enjoy Picassa goodness.
Brilliant!

As far as I can tell the version in the market is not the official one. It is the gallery from eclair.
I don't know if it really matters or not. I suppose you could pull the apk from any 2.2 rom and it would work fine.
awesome, i missed that from my old vibrant, thanks
Thanks for this!.... I totally forgot about it since it ran crappy on the G1
Its a vast improvement over the stock MT4G gallery.
You can also get it from the Market. Just type in Gallery 3D.
Thanks though.

If you are interested, to solve this issue, you can simply replace the MMS app you have with the one from AOSP Android 2.2. You can find it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846113
I changed it to the new one, and it integrates flawlessly with the 3D Gallery as well as everything else on the phone. And, I happen to like it better than the MMS app that came with the ROM.
And then you can actually delete the stock gallery app, and there won't be any adverse effects (for me at least, individual results may vary).

Good find then, thanks for it. I wasn't sure if you posted it because you can't stand the gallery app (like me) or as a fix for this issue. Either way, now people have a link from this thread to fix the issue in case they run into it.
Just wanted to say thank you for this =)
btw, I installed it (it works nicely on the mytouch4g) but I am not sure I want to delete the original gallery (just in case; also cause I haven't set up a nandroid backup simply cause I'm not sure how to) so I just 'freeze'd it with Titanium Backup Pro...that shouldn't mess up anything right? Just curious. Thanks again!

Camera Hack from I9000 Forum

Hello guys. I'd like to start off by saying that im taking no credit for this just meerly reposting. here is the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860609 started in the I9000 Forum.. this app allows you to take a picture while pressing the power button and also pinch to zoom. In addition it allows you to take pictures even if the phone has a low battery %....
Installation per original OP "You can install it via "sgs tools" in the market. Select 'upgrade stock apps', then camera hack."
PS im not responsible for broken phones... tested using Axura 2.0.6 and it works..
As fas as i can tell this will work on Froyo roms NOT Eclair..i have tested on Nero roms aswell as Axura roms and all is good, pinch to zoom works and so does the HD recording... enjoy...
works! axura 2.0.6 thanks for sharing

what the title says i just switched to this ROM and really like it very smooth i know he is banded from xda 2 times but thought i would start a discussion thread on the ROM any tips tricks or bugs ?
i am personally wandering what other CM7 themes for the theme chooser will support the transparent status bar
this rom is based on miks 6.6.1 so the discussion thread for that rom is also meant for this rom. remember that this is a themed rom, not a new custom rom

Also is there any way to install the old gallery, instead of MIUI gallery?

Did you upgrade from a previous CM7 ROM or did you do a fresh install of the MIUI ROM? If it is the later, you may not have the old gallery. Search the forums for the apk. Somebody would have posted it surely.
Regarding the camera, reduce your OC level to 600/480 before using it. Should work.

Yea I actually have the same problem but I have not tried to fix it I will try to put the original CM7 camera see if that works, yea no it didn't work but if you replace the miui camera app with the original CM7 camera app and reflash it, should fix the camera problem problem......if you want the gallery back then just to the market and download gallery 3D , I think it's called that ,just type gallery in search it should be one of the first apps, it is the stock gallery app

1. He was spamming the board, using two accounts or may be three.
2. His thread has also been deleted coz users were promoting other forum which is not allowed.
3. Why you want MIUI rom and upcoming updates ? Its based on Mik sources, flash mik's rom, franco kernel and MIUI theme of zdunex (search xda) which will be same like the MIUI theme rom. If you need MIUI apps, search the apps section you will find gallery, camera or god knows what else.

[DISCUSSION] popdog123's Oxygen ROM Port

Any questions, problems, or comments? Leave them here for others to reply! Let's keep the developmental thread clean of stuff that is not related to the development of the ROM (untested features, untested kernels, third party apps, etc; pretty much anything other than what comes stock with the rom). That's why that thread is in the development section. Now with that in mind, post away!
Keep up-to-date with the rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18900441
first thing i did after flashing the rom, i benchmarked it using neocore and compared it with the results that i got on miks 6.5.8. the results: the oxygen rom consistently scored 2 fps more than miks 6.5.8 on 245/600 smartass
looking good so far! only cons:
no fm radio (maybe because of the bluetooth problem?) and stock video application (ah well i can just download a third party app)
scrolling is not so smooth

i am just as confused. ive followed each direction carefully...flash rom, then gapps.
perhaps it wasnt included?
and as i have read, oxygen was also built for battery life. that doesnt seem to be the case so far. i have wiped battery stats but it is going down pretty fast. must be that battery drain issue in franco.kernel v18 (im already at 93% after only 52 minutes)

Right now, for Vibrant's case.
*>Passion/Euphoria
Passion/Euphoria are both outdated by any ROMS released these days.
Passion and Euphoria both have bugs that have been fixed, but the ROM was not updated.
I HIGHLY recommend you move on to a different ROM if you are still on Passion or Euphoria.
Agree with x. Passion was good but never updated. I haven't tried Chimera. I'm currently on Gummy 1.2/Devil 3.0.75!
What are you looking at shortbus......
I know, I still in euphoria and I am thinking to change to a different rom, I havent had any trouble on euphoria at all by the way.
Chimera is a nice rom . It has great battery life as well . The installer is crazy it is a touch installer . You could also use the installer to modify your install of chimera later. There are options for different kernels , fonts , themes , inverted gapps and so on . I was on utopia but it didn't have tv out so I switched to Chimera and I'm very happy with it .

I have been running chimera for about a week now and i am loving it. Its stable fast and tons of customizable options. I would recommend switching over to chimera if you havent already, definitely the best ROM offered by Team Passion at the moment. O yea, the custom installer is SICK!
I just downloaded Chimera and I'm going to flash it tomorrow and let you know... currently running Euphoria and while I loved it at first, it has had a lot of slow down and some issues recently with force closing.

Go to their website and click on forum at the top. You will see a thread named chimera kernel 1.3 or something similar and the download is in there.

I've used it for a little over a day now, and I can say it's much faster than ics passion v13 was running for me. Passion was getting really slow, call quality was awful, and everything would crash. Now it's running very smooth, call quality is what it's supposed to be. My only complaint is I can't add widgets to my home screen without the launcher crashing. Not sure what's going on here, anyone have this issue. It's particularly with beautiful widgets?
Edit: I followed this post and got it working:
There is a way but it's little complex...
1. You need to download a root explorer (I use ES File explorer).
2. You need to use the explorer and locate the "Launcher2.apk" in data/app/ folder
3. You then need to move the apk from data/app/ folder and put it into system/app/ folder
4. Make sure the launcher your currently using doesn't have default on (if using different launcher)
5. Reboot your phone, choose CNDlauncher, and BAM! you can now use CNDlauncher to add widgets from the app/widget drawer.
Hope this helps!

For me, Chimera is flawless. I came from ICS Passion 13.1 and suffered from poor call quality and lagging. With Chimera and the Heart V2 kernel, everything is working great and my phone is the fastest its ever been. Also, my battery life is awesome too. I am going to try the new kernel that fixes the GPS after DS issue and see how that works.

Yea you can do it that way or you can go through the modify install and choose a different launcher, apex works fine. The launcher problem will be fixed with the next update according to team passion.
