I've tried a bunch of different roms and so far, for me at least it's always missing the mark. I don't change roms whenever a new one is available, sometimes I'll wait a bit and I like to try a sampling of as many as possible but it always ends up being either:
#1 the mms never working. either i get "service is not available at this time" (mms only) or after doing the fixes listed it'll stay "sending" then the next day a friend will tell me he's pissed cause the test pic i sent him at 8pm arrived at 4am
#2 flash never working ever
#3 if it's 2.1 then the apps2sd working, maybe,sometimes
tonight i'm trying my 3rd rom. the previous one i had before i figured I'd try some new ones had the mms issue, also when you shut it off it would reboot instead & you'd have to to it again, and maybe again
i'm thinking maybe we are asking too much from this phone ? i'm not looking for perfection but stuff like tethering i could care less about, being able to send my daughter a photo i do care about, and flash would be nice
is there anyone that can recommend a rom, can be 2.1 or 2.2 i don't care, but one that works on the eris that has no mms issue, has flash and is stable ?
thanks
tazz froyo and kaos froyo work awesome. have for a few months now. actually all the 2.2 non-sense ROMs work really good. The sense ones just got started so they will be good soon. The 2.2 sense ones actually have flash 10.1 not flash lite like stock Sense 2.1
froshedyo works good too
Sounds like xtrSENSE may be a good ROM for you... It is very close to stock but has a number of performance improvements that you can CHOSE to turn on only if you want to...
Happy hunting and good luck

I've tried both and it's a tossup. xtrSense is nice and stable though and I'd recommend that over xtrRCmix just for stability reasons. That said the RC isn't bad but it feels a tad slower.
+1 on xtrSense ... probably the very best ROM for the ERIS!!!
xtrSense is fast and stable...better than any Froyo ROM I have tried so far
+1 on xtrSense, although the xtrRCMix seems to get me better battery life
Which roms and versions have you tried already? CELB and FroShedYo work great, minus flash. The other CM/ASOP 2.2'S get rave reviews too.
I haven't used a 2.1 in about 4 months so I can't say, but there's alot to choose from.
Honestly, my eris is my "main" computer other than my work machine. I have pretty much foresaken my home desktop, laptop and netbook. I'll give up Android phone when they come out with neural implants with retnal projection; thx surround sound pinging my tympanic membrane from the inside........ or whatever's free with a 2yr contract. Whichever comes first
Sent from my CELB Froyo Eris
yes man, try celb froyo
Sent from my HTC Incredible
+1 for CELB and Tazz
Like you I too have tried almost every ROM for the Eris.. and if I had to choose today the BEST ROM to date it would be the ROM I am currently using: "xtrSense"!
I am keeping an eye on xtrRCmix and TenzoSense and am looking forward to both becoming more stable in the weeks to come.
thanks for all the info
I settled on xtrSENSE. I had actually had a previous version months ago. At that time (at least for me) any rom with 2.2 was problematic. After some time passed I tried a few 2.2's and they seemed better but then things would always go sideways.
One time i didn't notice for a week that no one was getting any pic messages I sent. Another time the apps on the sd was quirky as it seemed to be loading more on the phone storage then it should and then the performance would grind to a halt.
And like I mentioned I never had one where flash worked for me.
I appreciate all the work people do to make these but i just want a few basic things that are selling points to work.
So of the SENSE ones I tried this time around the first was xtrTenzoRCMix1.6 and that seemed pretty good till the next morning the screen still said "phone is shutting down" so i went to xtrSENSE4.6 which i'm happy with.
in the past I'd done vanilla tazz 15, froShedYo, kaosfroys,sense-able etc as well as a boatload of others that i didn't same the original .zips to

I have been at this for weeks now. I rooted my droid eris and love that I did, but for the life of me I cannot decide on which rom to use and stick with. I have tried nonsensikal, kaos, tazz, and celb. I just want one where I will have great battery life. I was wondering if I can get some advice on which ones you all think are the best. I know kaos is the most popular or so it seems. I keep going back and forth on this as I type I am flashing nonsensikal 9.0 and probably will switch again later unless I get advice.
Thank you for any help.
I use KaosFroyo, but I've tried out several and like most of them. You really won't find a bad ROM here; it's more of a personal preference...the way it looks and feels to you.
Keep an eye on KaosLegendary as it progresses. If you like sense, that one's going to be badass.
Since all of the ROMS you mentioned are built from CyanogenMod source, they will likely all have similar battery life... I'm not sure anyone can tell you one ROM is better than another, but I can give you my opinion- I have had the best experience with CELB's flavor of Froyo.
+1 for Celeb.
Not that the others are bad, all of them are great. Celeb seems to run a bit smoother.
That said keep an eye on Kaos-Legendary I think it will be great once some of the kinks are worked out.
I am like you.
I started out with Kaoys
I think went to Tazz
I am now on Nonsenikal.
I moved from Kaoys after I saw somethings that Tazz was doing but I started not to like the red keyboard with some of those releases and I didn't get into flashing a new keyboard which took me back to Kaoys........but then i found Nonsensikal at 8.2 and then 8.8 and now 9 and I am stuck with them for now.
I have the latest Tazz and Latest Kaoys on my phone just in case. I also have the Flashback 15 V1 just in case I need to take back to verizon for some odd reason and that works too
As has been stated, it's hard to tell you which is the best for you. You've tried them, you are the one who needs to decide. I like Kaos ROM it's been stable, many updates, many users, which helps when you have a question. It also is the first one i tried back on version 17.
They are all good, for sure. You just have to try them all bro, you can always switch... right? lmao
But, I suggest Tazz or Celb only because I really like those guys personally
Make it easy on yourself. Use the rock solid 2.1 XTR (with or without sense) from Zach as your default rom. When you are bored and wanna play, rotate among the Froyo roms. If there was a benchmark for Eris roms, I think XTR wins the prize. The Froyo roms are progressing nicely, but none of them have achieved benchmark status. (yet)
So adopt the best and play with the rest

If you mean quadrant score, XTR actually gets lower because its a 2.1 rom. But those mean nothing on the Eris, so yes XTR is the best way to go. I recommend doing XTRSense because it comes with XTRom and you can always download LauncherPro or something, flash openGL. and there ya go, both roms in one
If you are looking for froyo sensless rom i would definitely go with shadowrom. if you want sense based 2.1 than XTRsense. As far as quadrant scores i had highest with shadowrom.
I'm still running evil eris 3.0 and probably will upgrade to evil eris 4.0. personally i like evil eris the most out of any of the roms. i have apps2sd and over clocked at 768mhz with out any issues. hasn't given me one problem yet and by far one rom that has zero problems. Every other rom i've tried has some sort of issue. with froyo rom's it's ether the speaker jack not working or some odd issue which sucks. i hate if something doesn't work right so that's why i'm still running evil eris 3.0.
Thank you for all the suggestions so far. I went back to tazz 12 the pink theme because I liked how it was more girly since I am a girl. However I should of mentioned I wanted to be able to make whichever rom I chose more personal and the only changes I could see that you can make on any of them so far is the color of the clock and battery percentage. If there is more I can customize please let me know.
Another question I had was there was one theme I fell in love with but I dont know how to put it put it on my eris since it was made for regular droid. Is there any advice about doing that?
Thank you for any help. Im still really new to this.
Evil Eris is a dead project as far as I know. There's a cyborg rom that's very stable since it's based of the latest ruu.
As for froyo I'm a fan of Kaos or Tazz ROMs. I also huge fan of the built in tether and apps2sd in froyo.
Sent from my Tazz Froyo using XDA App
I have tried NonSensikal, Tazz, and CELB. And to be honest, they are all very similar. I swore by NonSensikal when I started then tried out Tazz because of an issue I was having with my phone. Then I can't even remember why but I decided to try CELB 2.9 and it was great too. I've switch off of it for a couple days back to NonSensikal 8.8 but was having email issues and went back. To be honest I love the fact that I can switch ROMs as much as I want. I like to tinker and try new things. I've even flashed Kaos Legendary and it definitely going to be one I keep an eye on. All I'm saying is experiment if you want and enjoy. If not just flash one and stick with it. I've had no problems on CELB 3.0.
+1 xtrsense or xtrrom!
I know there's a theming app but I never used it si can't remember the name. I pretty much stick to the way a rom comes except for boot animation and keyboard.
Sent from my xtrROM Eris using XDA App
TaintedTenzo works the best for me
I have been on NonSensikal for a few updates now and it is pretty stable. I honestly can't tell you that it is any better than the others. Kaos, Conap, Tazz, and Listy are all awesome developers and most (or all) seem to openly share ideas and bug fixes. It's all about your personal preference.
As far as battery life goes, ever thought of just getting more batteries? I bought two extras with an external battery charger off of ebay for pretty cheap. I keep my setcpu profiles set higher than most to get the best performance and change the battery whenever it gets low. Now, if I was a girl, this would be even more convenient seeing as most of you carry purses with everything but the kitchen sink in them anyway.
As far as themes go, check the apps and theme section of XDA. Even if a theme was made for a particular Froyo rom, it SHOULD work on all of them. Make a nandroid and morph or flash away.

I am currently running kaosfroyo-v36, and its pretty good. I am fairly new to rooting my droid, ive only tried out 2 roms so far and both were fairly good. I understand how rooting works, not quite sure if i get how the kernel works or how to add it to my phone. To get back to my question, What rom do you feel is the most stable rom out thats still speedy?
Thanks!
stability id go with froshedyo
and for speed id go with Dual rom
Thanks for your your input!
IMHO, xtrSENSE and xtrROM are the most stable ROMs out there that I've tried. Everything just works, of course, they're 2.1-based so it doesn't include Froyo features or CM-specific enhancements to Froyo.
I wish I could have the best of both worlds. No offense to anyone. I'm currently using CELBFroyo.
I would definitely go with CELB =) Fast, Stable.
FroShedYo is working Very good for me, upped to version 8. It has decent speed, a great built in CPU monitor and all the goodness of Cyanogen. It is very stable, no crashes in the month or so I have stuck with it. Typical dropped call that isn't really dropped, but it picks back up and does a good job.
I agree on xtrROM. It's super fast and extremely stable. Of course, it's 2.1. I'm on CELBFroyo, and after a week there haven't been any hiccups. It's got nice speed and CPUBoost is a nice addition.
I've also used NonSenSIKal which is pretty solid.
for the most part, its really personal preference. Give some ROMs a test run and see how they work out for you. I've always been switching up ROMs, but I've stuck with CELBfroyo for about a month now, and its running very well for me.
p.s. dont forget to nandroid before you start flashing
Can't tell you why but I've tried quite a few including FroShedYo and CELB but Floyo Tazz has been the fastest/smoothest for me.
Tazz Froyo
I have tried alot of Roms and Tazz Froyo has been my favorite, it has conaps new kernel which helps with battery life and lagging on the phone, built in cpu governors( no need for SetCPU) Gingerbread keyboard, which is very responsive and has a excellent predictive text function, MIUI music which is a updated stock music app, you can make phone calls and send texts from the lockscreen, no complaints at all with the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733897
Nonsensikal is my daily ROM but I have used froshedyo's V6 through V8 as an alt from time to time because it is easy to theme. Both are very stable solid ROMs you'll be happy with either one.
Thanks to everyone who replied! I am now using froshedyo v8 and its pretty quick and i like the fact that it has cayanogen with it.Very cusomizable and fairly quick! Once again thanks to all posters!

Woo Hoo!
workshed, your rom rocks! igot a couple questions about modifying some things.. Themes, icons, wallpaper, fonts, boot image, etc. Where should i post?
Workshed can correct me if I'm wrong but his Rom is very similar to tazzs roms, with floyo being a port from a hero Rom and tazz froyo being allot like sheds Rom. All eris' are different so run what your phone likes the most. Mine likes tazz froyo more than floyo and I haven't had the time to try sheds Rom but I know he did a great job on it.

My vote is for CELB, i've used EE and sensable and i have found CELB to be the fastest and most bug free. If i've ever had a problem conap has either already commented about it in his thread or he or someone else direct me to the solution. Not knocking anyone else, just my personal experience.
I'm a big fan of KaosFroyo.. I do always flash the latest CFS kernel over it though. I have tried 4 or 5 other roms as well, but always come back to kaos
i've ran evil eris 3.0 for a really long time. i loved that rom and now i've been on v37 for the past couple months. v37 of kaosfroyo rom but starting to get bored of it and want more speed. maybe i'll just end up getting a new phone soon.
well long story shot she has a stock eris and is frustrated with it as many of us were befire discovering the magic of root and custom roms. my question is, for someone who isnt interested in too much besides having a faster phone, should i go the cyanogen froyo route or put xtrsense on her phone so its familiar? im having a tough time with this because all the froyo roms, as well as xtrsense are incredible. id probably go with either froshedyo or celb if i went that route.
My 1st rom was xtrsense and liked it. Then xtrtenzomix which was better (very similar). Then I flashed tenzo2.2.1 with conap's v9 kernal, loved it.... best Sense based atom imho. Still keep that one for when GSB 1.2 won't cut it (has flash since it's Sense based).... but GSB is the best I've tried, but much different from what she's used to.
Sent from my GSBv1.2 using XDA App
For someone that "just wants their phone to work", I would suggest a 2.1 ROM. They also get the benefit of Flash Player as well in a couple of 2.1 ROMs (including xtrSense, iirc).
The "undead call" bug and the "GPS lost" bug, while infrequent, are still major annoyances - and they pretty much exist in every AOSP, CM, or Froyo ROM.
Update 2/16/2011 - I believe I have figured out the long-standing "undead call" problem, and have provided a fix for it. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956091
Update 2/15/2011 - Both Tazz and workshed have GPS working now (from CM7 bugfixes, I presume). AWESOME!
Right now GPS only lasts for a couple of minutes in Gingerbread ROMs (well, GSB v1.2, anyway), so I wouldn't recommend it for a non-techie user at the moment. (Maybe that will change? workshed just dropped a hint he has something coming out).
I always put CELB or FroShedYo on my wife's phone.
She seems happy with it.
I like the vanillas. Clean slate and pick and choose my own theme remix.

xtrSENSE comes overclocked (710/245) out of the box, so you don't even need to do anything to overclock it.
Even though I love the froyo roms. I have to agree with btfb on this. If she just wants it to work id go a 2.1 with flash otherwise she might miss some things with the froyo roms. Just my thoughts though.

the person is someone i work with and she is a girl. i'm looking to just flash it and forget about it honestly. she has like 10mb or less right now and isn't rooted and hates the phone cause it's slow. i know rooting the eris makes it like 5-10x faster since i played with my eris for months upon months but just trying to figure out what everyone else thinks is the fastest. at the end of the day if you move onto another phone that's the biggest fix but for now i'll just root her phone and hopefully she will be more satisfied.
yea id say one of the xtr roms would be good choice to flash and forget imo
I have xtrSENSE flashed on my girlfriend's Eris; she has seen every possible ROM on my Eris and still prefers the "simplicity and the Sense UI" of her ROM; as she calls it.
xtrSENSE is a stable, fast and reliable ROM; kind of like STOCK but with all the goodies... if you know what I mean.
I like to stick with any stock 2.2 ROM (iConap's CELB 4.4)
It has been stable for a long time and I get about a day and a half worth of battery (with 3G/GPS/Sync all on with moderate texting/few calls)
2.2 Froyo is better than 2.1 Eclair because..
-speed and performance optimizations
-USB thether and Wi-fi hotspot
Check the link for more info
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
Don't get me wrong, I see a lot of love from xTrSense ROM and it is a fast/stable ROM all around
P.S.
Yes 2.3 Gingerbread is even better than 2.2 like better app and battery management & theme chooser BUT once CM7 Final is out and all ironed up I'll be moving onto that
Conap's CELB Froyo is amazingly stable and zippy as heck..
I have that running on my buddy's phone as well as my wife's.. absolutely a "flash and forget" ROM.
-Xith
FroShedYo's Final is my preferred daily rom, up-to-date, run as is with options for further customization/OC tuning, etc. and very good on battery. Nonsensikal's ROM coming in 2nd. on 2.2 OS for me - keep a Nand backup on the SD card while running FSY's ROM so it's a fairly bullet-proof setup - not the fastest, slickest or necessary best on battery run, but very close in all categories.
+1 as others said about various GB 2.3 ROMs floating here on XDA, several are close to perfection with more fine tuning & minor bugs resolved, would be great - none of them, I feel, are the "flash & forget, leave it" status yet for the non-geek users. The ASOP, plain/almost Vanila type GB ones like OMGB and Condemned V5 CM7 running fairly smooth overall. In general, 2.3 OS loaded on the Eris sometimes has issues with GPS, camera & MMS, etc. - known "bugs" noted by some users and being worked on & some felt it's hardware-built specific .... even for the Kaos/Tazz/Workshed ROMs.
Aside from rooting the phone, which I assumed most of us on here took as a given, is to flash the C2C as it will free up extra memory/storage space by moving it to the SD card - so proper preparation pre-flash (format/wipe, etc.) I use 3 different SD (16, 8 & a 4 GB) cards so that I can play with several ROMs while keeping my "working" primary ROM on the master and easily switch back & restore .... Running widgets & other settings also affect how smoothly a ROM run, as is battery calibration & conditioning, as I'm sure you know.
The Eris Froyo ROMs, as far as I know, all have issues with long-term GPS use, like navigation, where the GPS radio goes screwy after about 20 minutes or so. This was fixed in all of the GB ROMs, as far as I can tell (I have used Runkeeper to log a 3 hour run with GSB and it was perfect.)
That said, if you want fast, set and forget, no bugs, no "weirdness" (i.e., long-press menu to get the keyboard in order to press 1 or 2 when you dial *228 in the Froyo and GB ROMs; hold VolUp while you press Send to wake the screen when you are in a speakerphone or BT call and the display times out in the Froyo and GB ROMs) - IMHO you want xtrSENSE. I think that the GB and Froyo ROMs are worth a try, but I would also install, set up and Nandroid backup an xtrSENSE build just in case. The only thing that xtrSENSE is missing is the cool Google Voice Actions that comes with the Froyo and above Google search app.
I have never used xtrsense or rom, I did use kaos froyo and loved it. I am now on gingertazz and dont plan on changing to anything else. Its fast, stable, and has awesome battery life. Right now I am at 100% after 4 hrs granted I havent used it much but I am impressed. I say just keep trying different ones you will find the one that fits your phone best.
I've been using TaintedTenzo2.1 for a few weeks and I really like it. Its very stable, and fast I haven't had any issues with it. I've tried Gingerbread roms and they were great but just not for me.

If you are comparing to a D2, yes, it will always have lag. Try some other ROMs if you wish, but, in the end, you are running a phone with hardware that first came out two years ago - April 2009 for the Magic; June 2009 for the Hero. The only difference was Sense and more megapixels on the camera when the Hero was released; the Eris added the proximity sensor. Otherwise, it's the same phone.
i'm a big fan of xtr.sense myself, i love the sense ui and otherwise zippy overall. i've tried alot of roms and for a flash and forget i would highly recommend it
I agree... Flash and forget... xtrSense
Zachs work is stellar and super stable.
I tried GSB 2.8 on my wife's Eris but after adding Launcher Pro Plus so I could get the calendar widget and beautiful widgets to get the weather/clock back, it seemed quite a bit more sluggish than Zach's xtrSENSE 5.01. I'd like to see GSB as fast or faster, but it wasn't the case for me...
I also had some bugs in GSB but I'm sure there are fewer now. I'm going to try again after it moves to RLS2 and see...
Anyone experience different results in terms of performance?
Im running a 2.3 rom called GingerBreadShed 2.3.4 (CyanogenMod 7 Nightly) and love it so far, the customization is amazing. Theres so many options, i flashed it a couple hours ago and haven't even gotten my apps back yet because I'm so caught up in the features... but of course, i have a problem i should let you know of... Im trying to find a solution and if anyone knows let me know. I cannot use any widgets i download, only launcher pro widgets and a few default widgets. A lot of HTC widgets are even absent. I'm trying my best to figure out a way to use them and ill let you know it i do.

Hey guys,
I've tried CM7, Revolutions and Asgard for GB Roms and for me and my 10 hour work days, I need something that'll last a little more and will respond better. My experience with the three roms were not the best, but promising. It didn't dissuade me from GB roms, but rather excited me. I just am gonna have to wait until they're 100% smooth haha.
Anyway, I've only ever really used 2.2 Roms and the only ones I've ever loaded was Axura, Nero/Bionix, and Trigger (and flagship, but I don't count that because it was for a day). I'm wanting something different and I think I've decided on these, but if you guys recommend something different please let me know.
Anyway, I would love to hear your opinions and I appreciate the time you guys are taking to respond.

I like Bi-Winning and most other 2.2.1 ROMs just because my phone seems to do really well with them. But to be honest, everyone is going to have something different to say. My best advice is just pick one and give it a try for a few days and see how you like it. If you don't like it (or even if you do!) try another, and see which you like better...
Well, for GB I'm currently using Revolution RC1.
It's pretty neat.
Just one thing, when he uploads something, wait for everyone else to try it.
It seems like the roms always work on his phone and everyone else's just bootloops.
The current version is very stable and fast though.
For 2.2, dunno if you've tried Boinix NextGen v2.
That one was one of the best ROMS I've ever tried.
Not a single error anywhere and the battery was awesome.
for the 2.21 roms try Biwinning or V if you want to try a good GB rom try the Asgard Rom it is excellent
Hey vahdyx,
I'm a big fan of vanilla ROMs. If you're going to stick with 2.2 for now, I can tell you that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054032 is great. There are little bugs though, such as the dialer crashing frequently when editing contact info.
If you want a vanilla ROM with GPS and Swype preinstalled, there is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832532, but I haven't tried this one.
If you do end up using a 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM, I highly suggest using the Bali kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043947. This kernel optimizes battery life so that your phone will have an easier time making it through your workday, but is definitely not for you if you're an overclocker.
From what I've heard, if you are currently at 2.3, if you want to go back to Froyo, I *believe* that you have to ODIN back to stock first. http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/. Youtube is useful if you don't know how to do this.
Hope this helps!
I suggest sgs hybrid it runs really great its a 2.3 JVP rom and it has great speed and battery
