Hey guys, I'm new here and am a novice with rooting. I rooted my phone and installed the 2.1 rom that looked like the original. I really don't like the look of the "vanilla" or "darkened" modified roms.
My question is if there's a 2.2 rom designed like my 2.1 stock looking rom. I don't remember the exact rom I installed, but if you guys need it for reference I can try to find it again.
Thanks

There are basicly four 2.2 roms to choose from for the Eris. You would need to try them for your self. I've tried all of them myself. None of them look like 2.1. If you like your 2.1 rom, why don't you simply apply another theme to it.
If by "stock like" you mean 2.2 with HTC Sense then no there are no 2.2 roms like that. A vanilla rom would be the closest to "stock like" as you can get.
My first question is this. I can not for the life of me figure out what Eugene's GB ROM is based off of. I know its based off of 2.2, but is it JK6, JK2, etc.?
My second question is, I'm looking for the Nexus One bootanimation and sounds. Any assistance in figuring out if I can change my animation would be helpful. I'm tired of the spinning android one thats included in the TW ones (no offense).
Fyi, the release of nero today includes the nexus boot. You could just download it and grab the bootanimation.zip
So is Nero built off the same base as Eugene's clone??
I have a rooted Samsung vibrant. I am running the stock Froyo 2.2.
I am looking for some new themes to freshen it up but i am having trouble finding new ones for the stock 2.2. Could anyone help me out with this? Or post some good themes?
Thanks
By that do you mean Project V or do you mean you haven't flashed a ROM yet?
You need to be on a ROM for themes, as far as I know. Project V is stock without the bloat and with some optimizations and customizations, so that may be a good place to start... there's also a lot of themes for it here: http://edtdev.com/forum/forum/41-v-themes/
Happy flashing!
I like some of the Sense Themes listed in the Wiki but one question I have is can these be installed over the stock rooted Sprint ROM or do I have to flash a different ROM first? The reason I asked is some of them specifically say you cannot install over the stock ROM but others do not give any warning and simply say it is a Sense based theme.
Also I am not even sure this is worth mentioning but I will cover my bases. I assume with Themes I have to stick with the version of sense I am using as well right? Like I probably can't flash a Sense 1.0 theme onto the stock Sense 2.1 right?
Thanks.
Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
