Has anyone done this?
I am having serious problems with the aospish JK2 rom. Non of my entries are synced to google, took me a while to realise it. A gingerbread update that works would be nice.
This looks like a pretty old thread, but I hope someone can answer the question. I have issues with the Froyo and TWCalendar apps. Certain time zones (like Arizona with no DST) do not sync appointments correctly (using Exchange) when a repeating appointment lasts past the change of DST. I've tried some ICS and JB roms and they seem to have it fixed (CM9 and CM10 based ROMs). I was hoping that a later Gingerbread calendar apk wouild also have a fix.
The ROMs I've tried (CM10, CM9, CM7.2, ICS passion, Hellybean, PA (JB), slimbean, etc.) don't like my vibrant (bad GPS, won't read my external SD Card, etc. so I'm stuck with a Froyo ROM. It would be nice to have a good Calendar with Froyo. I've pushing the CM7.2 Calendar, but it doesn't work with Froyo.
Anyone know of a Gingerbread (Non Samsung - even the stock GSIII still has this problem in TWCalendar) Calendar app that runs on Froyo?

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!!

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.
My company has been testing Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.2 for the last 6 months. I was running it on my Incredible and then on my Thunderbolt running a Froyo rom with zero problems.
I flashed all of the new Gingerbread roms for the Thunderbolt and successfully installed Lotus Notes Traveler. When it connects for the initial sync it fails to connect. Occasionally it will give an Error (32). Checked IBM's website and it states that an error 32 is related to memory not being available. Also, when I tap the Calendar and Mail icons they both force close.
Confirmed server, user name and password are all correct.
Tried Fixing Permissions via ROM Manager and CWR. Still force closes.
My guess is that Traveler is not compatible with Gingerbread, but my manager is running a rooted EVO with a Gingerbread rom (Fresh 4.0.0.4) and Traveler worked fine for him after a few fix permissions.
Has anyone else seen or experienced this issue?
Any ideas for how to get it to sync?
TIA!
I'll try and install it tomorrow when I get back to the office. Will let u know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply.
I talked to our Notes Admin today and he said that he's waiting for v8.5.3 update from IBM. First they said May, now they're saying June. He said that as soon as he gets it he's gonna implement it. I'll know right away whether that was the issue.
Let me know if you have any luck getting it to run on a gingerbread rom.
I just upgraded my EVO to Gingerbread. I had to uninstall and reinstall Traveler, but it is working. I am using 8.5.1 on my EVO, but had to use 8.5.2 on my Honeycomb Transformer (we have different servers running different versions here).
I have not had any success with Traveler on gingerbread so far. Reinstalled from scratch several times but it force closes every time I open it.
I cant even get our server to detect my phone its annoying. so now i am using a trial of touchdown.
Man.. I thought I was the only loser that had to use lotus notes for work. I ran into the same exact issues as mentioned above: Error 32. I read somewhere else that someone got it working on CM7 GB, but haven't tried it yet. It's very frustrating.
Bump... Anyone get Traveler to work on Gingerbread?

My manager and a peer both have EVOs running Gingerbread Sense 2.1 and Traveler works perfectly on their devices. I tried all current versions of Gingerbread Sense roms for the TBolt, with variations of kernels and radios, and it just won't work. The Traveler admin just upgraded the client to 8.5.2.3, but it made no difference.
While I was still hung-up on Sense, I decided to run Commontime mNotes and it worked great. I actually prefer the native android mail client to the traveler client, but didn't like the idea of having to have a machine on just to forward my email, or the additional security risks.
I have since switched to CM7 and Traveler works fine. As much as I love Sense, I am going to stay on CM7 for Traveler and because the battery life is just awesome.
I'll update if we find a solution.
i am running gingeritis 3d build II with mr2 radio and touchdown exchange. lotus notes works fine
I also use Notes at work. I was disappointed when I couldn't use the BAMF sense 3.0 ROM. Apparently something with Sense on GB cause FCs. I switched to the CM7 1.2 (wipe, wipe, wipe before installing) and it has been stable AND Notes Traveler works now.
Went from an Evo to ThunderBolt... DAMN YOU LOTUS NOTES
Getting the same issue here. I just switched from Sprint to Verizon, and got the thunderbolt. Every single GB Rom other than CM7 FCs when launching Traveler. Froyo is fine... this sucks.

Are your colleagues rooted on the EVO? I'm a big fan of sense, and this is, as many others have already stated, depressing.
**bump**
In case anyone still having issues. Lotus Notes works with the new Uber rom.
Just a quick update. The Notes admin at my company updated Traveler to Version 8.5.2.3 201106031053 last week. Traveler now works on any Gingerbread Sense-based ROM!! Only tested a few roms so far, but it looks like it works!
Our admin updated lotus notes server today and it runs fine on BAMF forever 1.0.6
Is it possible to port the standard Google apps from say, a Galaxy Nexus image?
I downloaded the system dump for the Galaxy Nexus and tried copying the Phone.apk to the /system/app dir (renaming the existing one) but nothing happens- after restart for example the Phone app (Google) does not appear in the launcher. Also found this link but they apparently dont work :-(
Personally I think samsung has regressed ICS by using their custom apps. Fair enough, some may have found they improved say Froyo or Gingerbread (not sure what it originally came with) but vanilla ICS is just so slender!
It should be able to work s I've ADB pushed that plus Contacts and other apps from AOSP builds to this KP1 build. I removed most of TouchWiz from the phone and it still "worked" (visually anyways). I can't wait to get a full AOSP build, after playing with the others i'm just drooling more and more these days!
can you share the contacts and phone app with me? im just doing the same with deleting the bloatware.
Is there any way to lie to the Gmail app so that it will use the two-pane Honeycomb-and-up (tablet) Gmail interface on a Froyo ROM? I love the stability and speed that Froyo ROMs give me on my gTab, but I hate the single pane, subject only list in Gmail. I have tried several HC, ICS, and JB ROMS because of my intense hate of the Gmail interface on Froyo, but I keep coming back to it.
Any hacked apps out there that provide this functionality?
I have paranoid 3.1 now. GPS just basically never works now. Is there a ROM that GPS works consistently?
I need to keep 2 different calendars updating on my phone, both of which are Google calendars. Seems like JB 4.2.2 doesn't them update independently anymore. 4.1 did digical & aCalendar. Any ideas as to what combo of calendar programs will work?

AOSP-wise GPS is a problem for a lot of people. Try a TW-rom, specifically something on a VZW base like Beans or Multi. Or search for one of the hundred million GPS fixes to see if any do the trick. Don't know about the calendars.
I've tried a few of the GPS fixes but can't even get a fix on a satellite. If I get more consensus on TW based ROM i 'all try that. Going to be in an areaiI have never been before next week so I must have GPS working

Well a VZW-based TW rom would be as close a guarantee on GPS as you can get. GPS is so weird on our models, every ROM seems to be hit and miss for people.
MeanBean ICE (which is actually on a N7105 or international base) and Beans seem to have the most amount of people with GPS locks. Try out any of the TW roms and see what you like, my experience has always been that once I get that first GPS lock that takes awhile, it connects pretty instantaneously.
If you're looking for a TW rom that has AOSP looks (let's be honest TW is ugly) try Beans (already AOSP themed), Tweaked or CleanROM (with the AOSP theme in the Themes/Apps section), or Alliance (optional AOSP theme in OP or built-in with novella patch).
