I was wondering what the best rom is for the Eris? I am currently running xtrsence. No complaints on current rom, just wanted to know if there is a better one out there.

Totally personal preference. Lots and lots of great ROMs built by some very talented and dedicated developers.
Take advantage of your ability to do Nandroid backups and restores and try several out. You'll learn a ton and still be able to restore back to your last setup in just a few minutes.
Cheers!
What is the easiest way to restore your apps to a new rom? Titanium? I have already done a nandroid backup before I installed xtr, do I need to do another or just backup current rom?
I use My Backup Pro, most people seem to like Titanium Backup better but I'm not sure what the difference is between the 2. This is my own personal preference but for a rom I would either suggest Workshed's GB Rom, or Tazz's Gingerbread Rom. I'm running Tazz's rom myself and it's flawless, Tried out Workshed's rom too and it runs just as smooth.
Is it version 26 for the tazz gingerbread rom, or do you have a link for it?

I'm still kinda new to rooting, roms, etc. but I've been using kaosfroyo v39 for a week or two and love it. I tried LauncherPro and the phone operates much faster and smoother than it ever did with Sense.
I am thinking about trying a gingerbread rom, though. Any suggestions?

Well personally I like worksheds rom. Regardless of which one you get you can always install launcher pro and make it your default home launcher.

This is in response to the inquiry about how to backup and restore your apps from one ROM to another freshly flashed ROM. I use My Backup, too. I've used both that and Titanium Backup a lot and in my experience, TB is just not as reliable. Some apps would get restored but not the app's settings. Not talking about system apps, just regular apps. Personally, that was at least half the reason I wanted to restore the backups, so I wouldn't have to configure my apps from scratch again.
I have tried going back and forth between the two backup apps every once and a while after many version updates to TB, but I always found reason enough to go back to My Backup. Up to perhaps several months ago, My Backup was a lot slower than TB due to My Backup zipping the backup, but it was more reliable so I still used it. They've sped it up quite a bit now, though, so now it's no contest in my mind.
There really is no single best ROM, it's a lot of personal preference and what you lllike to have in a ROM. I personally love GSB because not only is it the latest version of Android available, but it's totally stable after just a handful of releases, helps a lot with battery life, and is extremely smooth and fast.

That's interesting, as a long time ago I has purchased a license for MyBackup Pro - months before I rooted, I think - but had long ago stopped using it. However, I decided to try it again with CELB a couple of weeks ago, and tried using it to reinstall all of my apps and data in GSB (I chose not to sign in to Google at the initial setup so I could install my apps myself, rather than wait for the to sync, when I installed 1.3).
Anyway, after the restore was done, it turned out that MBP had skipped several apps, without any sort of notification why. I then used TB to restore the missing apps.
This may have been an anomaly, and I'd like to try it again, but for now I have both apps firing off while I'm sleeping.

I actually just had my first problem ever with MBP. I flashed to one of the GB themes yesterday and when I used MBP to restore my apps it restored all of them. The problem with this is that I only checked the box for about 5 or 6 of them to install and installed all 25 of them lol.

1. the power button doesnt lock my phone.
2. gps does not work, anything gps related fails (Gps status, Locations)
3. Camera does not work (vignette app does work)
4. video recorder does not work
5. 3d gallery is more a 1 fps slide show.
6. when in gallery and i switch the phone sideways, it shows 6 images of the gallery distorted (unusable)
I did a fresh rom install, and still these problems persist.
cleared cache and all.
common problems or is it just this phone....
I have all the same issues with the exception of not being able to lock it. Change the camera from autofocus to touch focus, and get rid of the 3d gallery, Eris cannot handle it sadly.

+1 xtrSENSE, IMHO you won't find a better 2.1 ROM, or if you want stock but without sense home itself, xtrROM. Both excellent.
xtrsense is really the smoothest Ive used too.
i wonder if kaosfroyo got its CM updated and what not if it would work better? I know its been on the back burner for some time.

Hmm. I just clicked on the link and it downloaded the gps fix for me instantly, it won't actually open a page as its a direct download. Did you try accessing the link with your phone or comp? Try the phone, and while it may be a pain in the ass, use an alternate browser temporarily for the link such as Dolphin Mini.

It's pretty simple and essentially the same process that you used to install KF. You are already rooted, so you now need to download the xtrSENSE5.0.1.zip file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726467
Copy that zip file to your SD card and then use the following procedure:
- shut down the phone
- restart in recovery by holding down VolUp while you start the phone until you see the Amon_RA recovery screen
- go to the Backup/Restore menu
- Choose Nandroid backup
- When that is done, press VolDn to return to the main menu
- Go to the Wipe menu
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe Dalvik cache
- Press VolDn to go back to the main menu
- Choose Flash a zip from SD card
- Choose the xtrSENSE5.0.1.zip file
- restart the phone
I had kaosfroyo v39 for only a few minutes before i flashed a cyanogenmod7 gingerbread rom which made me much happier
how long have u had the gingerbread rom for? what are some of the features it has compared to the xtrsense rom or any xtr rom. i read the xtr rom's are super speedy i can't stand the froyo 39 definately slowing down lately

I flip back and forth between xtrSENSE and one or two of the GB ROMs weekly; I, like many others, have been running the GB ROMs for many months now. They are very stable and much, much better than KF at this point.
I find it hard to find speed differences between ROMs after things have been running for a while. About the only difference I see is battery life - the GB ROMs are more efficient than xtrROM and xtrSENSE, all things being equal, on my phone. xtrSENSE is excellent, all of the GB ROMs are great and well-supported at this time. Sometimes there are updates to the GB ROMs that may break some functionality but they are always fixed by the next update - just read the comments in those threads to see and you can always download and flash an older version if you need something to work. You cannot go wrong with either choice.
well so far nearly 24hrs with the xtrsense rom and loving the speed and smoothness so far. there are a few things i liked to have kept from the froyo rom to this one but i'd rather have the smoothness and quickness than the few things i liked more from the froyo rom. still re-learning everything tho
Hey I hope this isn't in the wrong place and not been asked (recently) a million times.
I have a completely stock OTA Eris
2.1 2.42.01.04.27 2.6.29-bch140a0 2.41.605.6 CL225228 2.41.605.6
I'm looking for the best/easiest/most functional rom.
I want:
apps to SD to work
all normal programs to work (gmail, gps, sms, camera, market, etc)
speedier phone?
any bonus functions (ie overclocking).
I have read a few tutorials on how and they led me here to find the roms. However, I don't know which one is newest/best for my needs.
I probably won't root until after my road trip this week. I also need to research backups, so a few days of responses are welcomed before I do anything.
Thanks
Bob
Do you have a preference for android version? 2.1 (Eclair), 2.2 (Froyo), 2.3 (Gingerbread)?
Do you want the HTC Sense UI?
Personally: I like CELB Froyo. It's Android 2.2, no Sense UI (I like the plain jane (and faster) ADW launcher/CM look). Hook it up with SetCPU and you have yourself some overclocking. Flash gapps and you have all the google apps.
The best ROM to keep you close to stock but get most of the things you want is probably xtrSense. It was the first one I used and I was really happy with it. Now I'm on GSB, an android 2.3 ROM. It's amazing but definitely a lot different from the stock phone. I would just recommend reading the front pages on multiple roms to get a feel of what they offer & what appeals to you.
Good luck & have fun!!
Sent from my GSBv2.2-ERIS using XDA Premium App
Depends on what you like. If you like the stock HTC Sense UI, then Zach's xtrSENSE always gets rave reviews. It is Android 2.1
The current Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3.3) is incredibly stable and fully functional. I have been using Workshed's "GSB" - GingerShedBread since first release. Shed does great work, actively updates every 5 to 10 days, and is quick with tech support in thread.
GSB is my vote for best. Easy, they're all easy just follow the OP.
What I like about CM7 and GSB:
- Android 2.3 improved memory manager.
- Theme Manager has simplified applying themes.
- Power widget in notification shade (CM6 had this feature too)
- Very responsive user experience gives new life to old hardware.
- built in CPU settings plus lots of other settings to play with.
- Actively being developed. (Although currently in a feature freeze and focusing on bugs, there have been a few minor new things snuck in)
- Its fun

+1 xtrSENSE, just be aware that for Apps2SD under 2.1 (Eclair) like xtrSENSE, you have to partition your SD card. If you use the native Froyo or Gingerbread Apps2SD, you normally DON'T want to partition your SD card, and don't have to for their native Apps2SD capability, either.
In addition to all of the raves about xtrSENSE, I'll add that it's cache2cache feature may remove the need for apps2sd. I'd try xtrSENSE without it first, see if you have enough room, and then move to apps2sd later on if you need it.
I completly agree with amfetamine and would echo: Cyanogenmod 7 is by far my favorite (Android 2.3.3) is fully functional and excellent.

Thanks for the responses so far.
I did look at the xtrSENSE a little after making my post.
I like the idea of keeping it nearly 2.1-ish (espeically if I were to root the wife's as well).
I don't know if I like 2.2 or 2.3 (or versions of them) because, well I don't have 2.2 or 2.3 on my phone...
Ideally, I want to loose next to no functionality and get some performance/memory boost out of the first ROM I play with.
My concern at the moment is pre-rooting backup. I tried the trial of mybackup before my first factory reset and it didn't restore any personal stuff 30 minutes after I installed it I can manually move my pictures and google-ize all my contact but there are a few sms/mms I'd like to save.

There are two kinds of backups in My Backup. "Applications & Media" and "Data". You have to do both separately. Backing up Photos is redundant because they should be saved to your SD card anyway, and a ROM flash won't overwrite your SD card. When doing Data, don't bother backing up Contacts or Calendar since those will be sync'd with Google already. It's up to you if you want it to back up your call log (useless for me, IMHO) and maybe some other options. "Data" is the section of backup in My backup which offers to backup SMS and MMS, as well.

VeganTab so far
I'm a wooter (but been around XDA for a while, through several rooted and romed winphones, a beater G1 and now a rooted Defy)
Got the GTab and updated it, it was VERY laggy and I didnt like the interface.
Rooted, Clockworked, titanium and nandroid bu, reformatted 2048/0, then tried TNTlite
It was WAY nicer than stock, much quicker. After a couple of days I decided to try Vegan, which I like a little better although I forget what was wrong with TNTlite (FCs maybe?)
Will stay here but watch this poll and try something else based on results.

+1 for Calkulin
After flashing and playing with several different ROMs, I'm back on stock.
The current stock ROM is stable. It's plenty quick for me (I find no speed differences in everyday use, although some do show up using test software). The setup is highly appropriate for a tablet. In particular, the launcher works far, far better for me than any replacement launcher I've tried - plenty of icons fit on the home screen and useless phone links and icons are not there. The Android Market and Gmail can be added easily.
Calkulin's by far!
Add another vote for Calkulin from me....
Caulkin's 1.1 Rom with Clemsyn's v9 kernel
Sweet, Stable and Fast!
Vegan-Tab for sure. It's fast, stable, and everything works.

Have you tried LauncherPro? Everything can be customized. Icons can be moved or added. You can even set how many rows of icons you want on a screen. Stock ROM was just garbage for me. Everything force closed no matter what fixes I tried. Finally just installed CWM and wiped the thing and put Vegan-tab on it.

sorry i didn't see caulkins when i was making this
sorry guys i didn't see caulkins when i was making the poll and i don't know how to go back and change it. so i will add it on the first post.
i was also thinking to make this a way for first time users to select their roms based on the most popular ones.
VEGAn-Tab an obvious winner?
I'd be surprised if it wasn't - it's been around for awhile and seems to be a perennial favorite with the new Woot! users.
I always thought TNT Lite to be more of a "gateway mod", if that makes any sense. Close to stock and doesn't veer far into unknown territory (for the most part -- I have made exceptions a few times).
I think they're all great, tbh - GB, Caulkin's speed demon, VEGA-based VEGAn, they all have their pros to them!
As a Woot purchaser, I started with Vegan and then tried TNT Lite, and ended up preferring TNT Lite. It just seemed a bit faster and more responsive to me. With Launcher Pro, it's great.
TNTLite for me, plus Roebeet has been very helpful and patient answering my questions at the time of installing the ROM.
So Kudos to you Buddy
I enjoyed TnT Lite for a while, then tried Vegan-tab. That is a solid ROM where my only issues were with the market. However, I'm finding that the CM7 with honeycomb-like tweaks to be the best for how I use my tablet. I had to setup the SDCard stuff off the bat, and I can't use Reader any more as it scales poorly in all GB ROM's, but I found that Pulse is a nice reader in itself that effectively replaces Reader.

This is the version I finally stopped on. I've tried TnT stock/Lite, VEGAn 5.1 & GB, Caulkins, gAdam, pretty much all of them. My two favorites are TnT Lite, and CM7 with tablet tweaks. Except I have audio issues on many of the non-stock based roms (no audio or static), so I installed Clemsyn's v9 GB kernel. However that has USB mounting issues ATM. Not to mention the video stuttering issues in CM. I can never win.
I may stick with this version until HC is available, but we'll see.
EDIT: clemsyn's kernel didn't fix my audio issue after all.
Calkulin's + clemsyn. Recently discovered Calkulin's and impressed with the performance.

Hi everyone,
I must point out that I am pretty new to the whole custom ROM thing, I still have the stock ROM and everything on my xperia x10,
so my question is which ROM gives the best performance (ie less lag, good battery life, not many bugs, etc)? and can you give me simple instructions on how to install it because I don't want to screw something up and brick my phone, please?
Also when having a custom ROM installed, are you able to implement (install) patches given out by sony ericsson or you just follow the forum and wait for the developer of the ROM to make a patch, and if there's a patch from the developer how do you install it? (I presume you can't install the patches from sony ericsson, I'm just asking). And how often does the developer release the patches?
And do I have to delete everything with a factory reset from my phone before I do ANYTHING? at which step should it be done? can I backup everything using backup and restore program that's already aboard the x10 and restore it later, or the program will disappear when I install a custom ROM? if it wont, will it bring back my sms and mms effectively, and applications too?

Hi there, as you can see from my post count, I'm pretty new to this as well. I've only tried wolfbreak so far but am amazed at it's stability. As far as I've seen you will lose SMS etc however lots of things can be saved to the cloud, so first thing I'd do is make sure all contacts are marked as Google sync
I initially found the flashing to be problematic, but that was mostly because I was an idiot and failed to notice that the flashing software also adds functions such root access and xrecovery when the phone is NOT in flash mode. Since. Then I've been able to upgrade to the latest version (06) without even using a computer. Simply downloading the file onto my phone, moving it with the included file manager and rebooting to the recovery menu
I know have a faster more responsive phone with lots of added features such as Flash, Voice Search and loads more customization options. IMHO well worth the twenty minutes or so it will initially take
Make a note of your favourite apps as well, as the market only remembers paid for apps not your free ones, but for me the change over was pretty seamless and after only a day and a half with it am more than happy. So much stuff is held within the cloud that setting back up isn't the mega ballache it seems before doing it
Wolfbreak's ROM is the most 'fun' to use, the most tweaks avaliable
TripnMIUI's ROM is one you need if you just want your phone to work. Also, it has an iphone-like look (IMO I hate it, but some people like it)
Jereplea's Gingerbread mod is for those who want to be active in making the ROM better and test Gingerbread and custom kernels. It's not really that stable, but it's getting better by the day and it's the most updated ROM.
IMO those are the 3 big ROMS, there are smaller ones and you're free to check them out, they're pretty good too, but those are just my opinions on the top 3 ROMS.

If you mean THEMES, check the bitsnacker theme out for the x10 which works on android 2.1 stock and 2.2 Free X10 Beta 4 (for Freex10 ignore first post, check the second half way down the screen)

Finding the links took me ages, i got them all mixed up
If you like, it plz thank
the answer will always be it depends on what you want from a device and its really your opinion and your opinion alone thatll lewt you decide
another +1 for tripnmiui's rom, pretty well featured
for me TripNMiui is always the best
TripNMiui with custum kernel
I'd say Wolfbreak's so far...
It runs flawlessly...
I've been testing many custom ROMs for a while, and up to now, the ones I liked the most are TripNMiUI's and Wolfbreak's ones. It's hard even to pick up one of them... TripNMiUI's has a great visual and is very clean. Wolfbreak's, in the other hand, works flawlessly and very stable, and I love that ARC's style.
Actually, I'm using Wolfbreak's now.

Hi there, as you can see from my post count, I'm pretty new to this as well. I've only tried wolfbreak so far but am amazed at it's stability. As far as I've seen you will lose SMS etc however lots of things can be saved to the cloud, so first thing I'd do is make sure all contacts are marked as Google sync
I initially found the flashing to be problematic, but that was mostly because I was an idiot and failed to notice that the flashing software also adds functions such root access and xrecovery when the phone is NOT in flash mode. Since. Then I've been able to upgrade to the latest version (06) without even using a computer. Simply downloading the file onto my phone, moving it with the included file manager and rebooting to the recovery menu
I know have a faster more responsive phone with lots of added features such as Flash, Voice Search and loads more customization options. IMHO well worth the twenty minutes or so it will initially take
Make a note of your favourite apps as well, as the market only remembers paid for apps not your free ones, but for me the change over was pretty seamless and after only a day and a half with it am more than happy. So much stuff is held within the cloud that setting back up isn't the mega ballache it seems before doing it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or use the app Titanium Backup to restore all apps and data when switching. Works like a charm for me.
