Current 3 froyo Roms, any major difference?

Just curious what peoples takes were on the the current froyo Roms, differences seem minor, is it worth flashing around? Hows does this work as they are similar in nature without everyone being p.o.ed?

I could be wrong here but this is probably a topic best suited for the General Discussion sub forum.
Who really cares where it goes the forum moderator can move it if need b the topic has better "advertising " here

Yup in fact there is already a topic about it-http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728873
In all honesty development is the only place I go I'm sure that has to go for a few others as well

We care. We dont need junk like this clogging up the Development section.
I think the best way to deal with this is to simply answer the question:
They are based on the froyo source code and are built from that point on by different people in different place.
I'm on celb froyo and so far have not ran into any issues, haven't tried the others yet and may not if this keeps running as it is now

3? I can only think of 2
Oh nevermind
Wow. What arrogance displayed by some members.
I find that KaosFroYo works best for me simply by Linpack's benchmark tests. Cyanogen 6.0 was 1.0 MFLOPS slower than the Kaos. And since I only care about performance, I thought it was best for me.
1 vote for kaosfroyo and 1 vote for move to general section. Can I vote twice

A MOD moved YOUR thread. Why dont you ask him? He moved it because, like a dumb ass, you posted it in the wrong section. Follow the thread rules, or go back to androidforums which you obviously came from.

haha did you see my 2nd post anyway this thread is dead im glad lexusbrian is now my friend
Umm just my two cents, but ya'll are telling him his thread should be in another section but a mod moved it to development... so it should stand to reason that the hostility is not needed. I'm still a noob here so I don't want to step on any toes. Personally I think this would give insight to the devs about what people think of their roms. I'm just saying
*edit* my bad for the confusion. I didn't realize how the forum handles moved threads. But can't we all just get along?

No.

Not yet, I think most people are waiting for another HVGA phone to get Froyo (ie HTC Legend) in the hopes that one of the devs would port it. I guess for now it's just a waiting game, but also remember that the Eris section has Questions and Answers subforum so please feel free to use it

Why is that people can be so corny on xda
Some people especially if they are new have a tendancy to over look where it says questions and answers and go straight in to eris android development which a froyo sense based rom could fall under android development??? He asked a simple question instead of coming off like a **** with a **** bag response "useless thread" why don't you try being a little polite and helpful being a senior member and guide the dude in the right direction nicely.... Yo dude not everybody is perfect and some people on 1st glance can over look something, lighten up a little bit!!!!! xda has a bad rep for people being so douschie, that was the perfect example!!!
I agree, I thought he was being a **** myself

Developing a Sense-based Froyo ROM would go in the development forum. Asking if one exists ? Nope...
I apologize if I came off as a '****', I too am guilty of 'useless posts', though when I joined I don't recall there being a Q & A section at least
In the XDA app considering that's all I use. Either way, I'm sorry but there isn't really a need to be throwing names around and what not.
As far as helping, you didn't. You instead took your time to point out all of what I did and or didn't. At least I told him where to go regardless of how I did so.

On that XDA app, in settings what is SFR Support?
The question is valid but since it is not development related and is a question it should belong in Q & A (which is why I moved it).

Eugene373 makes some pretty good roms, look in the development section. The latest one is the hybrid, no touchwiz at all, just a hint of it in the ui.

I'll agree Eugene's ROMs are awesome....I am on V9 with JAC 1.2 kernel.

I guess when they are done by the developers that are creating them, or you could take up the task yourself and contribute to the community.
I think there is PLENTY of discussion about 2.2 and roms for the Vibrant please do some searching before creating yet another thread about this, we have beat this topic to death we are all in the same boat!
running eugene's Hybrid R3 and lagfix. Runs great, gets rid of most touch wiz. Only way I would be happier is if it was based on 2.2 but in time that will come too.

this is the q&a section. IMO any question is fair game, even if its been discussed ad nauseum in the other sections.

I too thought about this after posting but even if this is a Q&A section, why ask the same question over and over? Do you feel you will get a different answer after asking the 5th time?

Hello everyone!
I have an urgent issue, I was successfully able to put dow13 kernel on my vibrant. So I checked my quadrant score afterward and it was about 1000 which led me to believe that I should now activate the voodoo lagfix on my device. Afterward dow13 was gone and I went in recovery mode trying to revive it. Next thing you know my Phone goes from vibrant to dow screen and stuck there. I need urgent help. I'm a beginner at this so easy to follow instruction would be much appreciated.
Thanks

i like to pride myself in standing up for noobs, more often than not......but this thread is just bad dude, for so many reasons haha

you said you can follow instructions ^^^, so you shouldnt have a problem with this. you just have to be patient and READ. you are the only person who can unbrick your phone, so ultimately you have to rely on yourself, and your ability to do a bit of research.
if you dont understand something, search for it, otherwise you are going to get chewed up and spit out on this forum. in fact, im surprised the sharks havnt gotten to you yet, they can smell noob blood from 10 miles away. savages.
PS - in the future, disable Voodoo before flashing anything...this is probably the number one cause of bricks
PPS - also, your post was kind of difficult to understand, but dow13 was not "gone"....your phone cannot operate without a kernel.

Sad thing is you think you're being a smart ass.
Are you the one developing anything? There's a questions forum for that. Look at all other threads in this forum and tell where someone is asking a question like this? Don't act like such a noob.
