So I've been away from XDA for a little bit... (well just not checking it everyday like I used to)... but I was wondering if I could get some peoples opinions on which of the latest Gingerbread ROMs is the best one? I wanna give GB a test run and see if I like it on my Eris but want to get some feedback to see which ROM would be best to test first...
I have CyanogenMOD 7.0.0 RC1 Gingerbread NIGHTLY for the Droid Eris (workshed), and It's really good, one of the best ones out there.
TastyBread! Only saying that cuz that's my gb build lol. There are 3 so far so just flash them all and see which one you would like best!

I think Kaos has a build available as well. I agree you should try each one if your goal is to play around and "test". Give Shed a minute to update his latest release (1.8) by flashing one of the other three available builds, including the above quoted item.
Ginger Tazz 10 /3.3.11/ Stable/Blackened Ginger 2/2/22/11 {cm7} - Offers an interesting looking "Blackened" version as well
[ROM] **TastyBreadBuild v1** (Android 2.3.2)
[GINGERBREAD] KaosGingerbread V8
[ROM] GSB v1.8 | GingerBread 2.3.3 [CM7.0.0 RC1 NIGHTLY][3-3-2011] - my current driver, running 1.7 now and will wait until 1.8 is updated as outlined by Shed in his most recent post.
I vote for ginger Tazz v10 runs fast and strong.

I'd reccomend turning on the screen effects on launcher pro. They work well on the Eris. I like the one that makes the screen look like flipping walls.

I like all of LP's transition effects, but I settled on "Scale". I hope they will add a "Random" option to change the transition effect between all the options, not in one series of flips, but between flipping sessions.
I agree. gingerbread nightly is a good one
GSB is indeed a great build. I tried all the other roms and nothing is more stable than GSB. Though, I do believe that 1.6 is the most stable and the only version that works with swype for me.

I myself had fallen for the 'Scale' effect in LP. I recently installed Go Launcher EX (can't post you a link, check it out on market.android), I'm liking it...though I seem to be addicted to change, can't keep the same theme/apps for longer than a week. Especially with all the ROM flashing.
And PS, Go Launcher has that 'Random' screen transition option you're looking for. Give it a shot should you feel so inclined. There doesn't seem to be a 'Scale' equivalent, but 'Bulldoze' is an interesting alternative animation. I use the 'Roll' effect right now because it suits my theme.
Sorry to get so far off-topic.

Thanks! That's one of those apps/launchers that I thought looked interesting way back but it was too early in development. Now that it's matured some, it may be time for me to take a serious look at it.
GSB has been the most stable for me. Tried kaos and Tazz, but had a few issues. GSB has been running strong.
I'm running gsb and its great very smooth and fasy

I'm happy with GSB, I've never tried GingerTazz but I'm sure it's good too. When they both came out, I just couldn't decided which one to flash.
Workshed had done some cool stuff with DualROM, Tazz had done cool stuff with the FroyoSense rom.
I literally did eenie-meenie-miney-mo to pick between the two. And GSB was what I ended up with just by chance.
I can't judge the different GB roms as I have only just installed GSB about 15 mins ago, but the sheer difference in speed and responsiveness from froyo to GSB is dramatic.

If you want THE fastest Sense ROM, xtrSense3.1 is the one you want. Just be sure to turn on JIT. I have tried all the Sense ROMs and this one scores the highest in quadrant and is easily the fastest interface experience. Just be sure to wipe, install the ROM, do a full boot and setup, then go back and flash the other zip files you want.

Is there lag when dialing out like every other Sense 2.1 ROMS? This lag in the dialer is just a killer for me. I'd rather use a Froyo ROM with no camera than have lag in my dialer even though I use my camera A LOT.
I've used xtrSense3.1 and have had zero issues with dial lag. as stated. it's the fastest of the Sense ROM's. Evil Eris 3.0 and even 4.0 are good, but for me, xtrSense is the definite keeper for me.
There will always be dialer lag with any Sense ROM. But with xtrSense, it's as minimal as you're gonna get. It's really not very noticeable, nearly non-existant. Just remember to overclock to at least 710 Mhz and turn on JIT.

I fully recommend cyanogen tazz. Blazing fast for me, good battery life, and absolutely no dialer lag.

Cyanogen tazz is beastly fast for me.
I have been using Conaps ROMS ErisLightningBolt 2.8 CM5.08 and he's been doing a great job keeping them stripped down and stable. So for now until they have the camera working in the Froyo ROMS go with ErisLightningBolt 2.8 CM5.08 build from Conap. It's just a matter of time until they get the Froyo ROMS dialed in.
Oh and fyi this isn't the place to ask this question. Try general next time. And in fact I believe there is already a topic about the "best" ROMs so try searching as well next time.
I've been using Plain Jane T2 for weeks and have no complaints. I haven't tried xtrsense but am tempted to try it.

Thanks for the replies guys. Seriously, the dialer lag will keep me from installing any ROM. I really want my camera back =P Don't get me wrong, 2.2 is awesome. I'll flash over to this ROM here in the next few days. If there is this "dialer lag", you guys are going to get it!!!
Another question; may or may not be possible to answer: Why is there dial lag on Sense 2.1 ROMS on the Eris????
I'm gonna have to say xtrSENSE or Evil Eris, however i think xtr is probably faster...

xtrSense is Plain Jane v2 on steroids. That is what I was running until I discovered xtrSense. My wife is still on Plain Jane v2, I haven't had time to move her to xtrSense.
xtrSense
Been using xtrSense 4.0.6 for a week (Radio 2.42.01.04.27; kernel 2.6.29-8 ; software number 2.37.605.4). Fast (CPU @ 710MHz / sleep @ 245 MHz). Pretty stable. Got it to reboot randomly once or twice.
Biggest hurdle is battery life. Can't get to figure out why my battery doesn't last a day on this ROM or others... (different topic though).

Kaos updates his ROM it seems like every two days. That's good because you know he is active in developing the ROM. Most are no wipe, so updates are simple.
In fact, he posted an update the other day on the same day that the new search was introduced. Included in the ROM.
That being said, my daily is CELB Froyo. ELB was my first rooted ROM.

They all add their own tweaks for speed and battery life and things like that. They add their own backgrounds and ringtones. Also system apps. I actually switched back to tazz. I love the customizable power widget (would be even better if I could choose the indicator color. Going for a red theme don't know If that's even possible though). Also the toggle 2g app is awesome. And the themed version I also like. Now I don't have to fool around with metamorph. Its all just a matter of personal preference.

I downloaded Power Widget from the Market (I think it's like a buck or 2) and you can alter the indicator to any color you want. You can also adjust the transparency, have up to 7 buttons on the widget, and choose the size. I have 7 buttons on 1 widget and it's 1x3 in size.
I used Kaos. Out of all the ones I tried had the least bugs and Kaos is a classy dev on top of it, not like the others are not. I just tried to stick with Kaos because he had originally brought Froyo to the Eris.

i have noticed battery life improvement after installing 1.9.1 and reconditioning battery, it has been unplugged since about 7:30am and after 3 calls one lasting 40mins while on blue tooth and constant work e-mails i am sitting at 63% at the time of writing this. so in 8 hours i have dropped 37% its a big improvement from before.

It really comes down to preference. Is there a speed difference from 1.9.1 to Fusion 1.0? Most users think that Fusion is faster, but I came from 1.8 so I can't comment on it. Fusion is awesome. If you don't mind TWiz than go with 1.9.1, however, if you're like me and can't stand TWiz, go with Fusion 1.0. It is amazing.

You will likely be waiting for awhile. Froyo hasn't even been mentioned for the Vibrant yet. The Source code was released for 2.2 but that is a far cry from a working fully functional ROM. You do realize you don't have to keep flashing the most current ROM they release right?

Yeah I was going Flash crazy and I must admit it is addictive LOL. Anyway, every Bionic ROM was slightly different, for example one had JI2 modem for better battery and the next one had JI6 for better data. I had to see for myself which one was best for me. Eventually I decided to go back to stock with the latest official JI6 OTA update to receive the Froyo OTA .

Hey there, don't get your panties in a bunch.. That ROM actually didn't fully remove touchwiz like you claim. There are some things that are still touchwiz there like twframework-res

^ Eugene makes a very solid ROM and is usually slightly ahead of the other DEV's here. (I.E.- He has released (I believe) 3 builds of Froyo so far) where most other DEV's are just getting started on Froyo. Most DEV's use Eugene's work as a base for their own ROM's. I started with Eugene's ROM and have since moved to Bionix out of sheer personal preference. I like the look and feel of the Bionix ROM's more than I like Eugene's.
That being said, when he gets the GPS fixed on his most recent Froyo ROM, I may just have to flash it up to see how I like it
I think he got gps working on his newest 2.2 rom. I could be wrong though. I'm going to give that a run tonight
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I haven't tried either yet - still in OCD research phase before trying anything new and scary like a custom ROM ...
That said, I'm leaning toward Bionix. I understand the difference between the two is effectively whether you prefer Touchwiz and LauncherPro. They're both otherwise on relatively equal footing.
I've tried LP with homeswitcher and honestly it's nifty but it's niftiness couldn't outweight my familiarity with Touchwiz. This vibrant is my first android phone so that probably speaks volumes as to why I had no previous conceptions of what the UI ought to behave like...
I'd suggest to the OP to also just try out LP with homeswitcher prior to flashing a ROM and you can easily see for yourself which format tickles your pickle more.
hey as the title says searching for a stable froyo rom for a friend he doesnt like cm7 or anything gingerbread and theres so many to choose from i dont know where to start please and thank you
There really is no Froyo rom here that isn't stable. It will all come down to personal preference. I like ZenDroid. It's smooth and has all of the non essental bloat removed. Bi-Winning v3 is also good. I tend to go between those two. Pair either of those with the Bali 1.8.8UV kernel or DragonMODz kernel, and you've got yourself a slick rom with very good battery. But there are lots of choices so it's really up to you.
Hope this helps
I have flashed every single flashable froyo and cm7/cm7 based roms that I could find on xda and I must say while I liked zendroid and have alot of repect for the developer but overall my favorite recent froyo rom is toxic crazy 8. I used the theme clean and shiny for music and toxic 8 and it is visually beatiful with themed in call screens and everything all included. Its also a super fast rom. I never disable voodoo (some will disagree with me on that) and its super quick to flas any rom within cwm so id try both and decide but make sure to get clean and shiny if you do toxic 8 its great. Ill also throw in that this is yhe first tozic I have used as a daily and even having a daily is rare for me but the dev is always helping people and he is very helpful and never rude, its really cool.

Well, I know everybody has a different opinion about "best". But my DX2 is getting slower everyday. It is running the stock 2.3.4 rom currently. I have had to pull the battery out multiple times in the past month just to get out of the frozen mode. That's no fun!
So, here I am looking for a new rom, wifi is vital to me since I use it all the time, well, pageplus does not give much choice. Camera/camcorder are also extremely important (so miui is out?). Other than that, the rom should be as stable as possible, as snappy as possible. With the stock rom, open each app is a painful waiting of 2-3 seconds.
Alright, folks, please recommend! TIA

Liberty was my first rom and it was smooth and stable, but really plain. Now I use CM7 and love it. Smooth, stable, and looks nice! I just installed the Ice Cream Sandwich theme and I don't see myself changing anything for a while!

CM7 for stability. I do have to do occasional battery pulls, but it's not for performance related issues...
Does CM7 still have the wifi issue? On the cm7 rom page, they said there may still be wifi sleep issue.
How about cameras? no bug found so far?

It did not work for me.
I like my Mx2 port & I am finally getting it debloated.

I just looked that one up and I must agree it is a good looking theme! When I get bored with ICS (which may take a bit, here are a few screenshots) I will give cyanbread a go.

What are you running? Are you running MX2? Themed? CM7?

im running 'old school' eclipse 1.3 (2.3.4) because i dont want to upgrade to 2.3.5, i honestly like it, plus i had a lot of problems with cm7 RC1 and i knew eclipse was awesome and pretty done. yes it has blur but its worth it to have a stable ROM

i've seen a few people say this. it must be an app issue. i only got the DX2 a few weeks ago, used stock for less than 35 minutes, then i flashed RC0 and RC1 CM7. I've had 1 FC related to Google Play Music, but other than that it has been smooth and fast. The lag when I sbf'd was pronounced, but i've had zero issues with CM7. are people restoring app data through TB or something? it just doesn't make sense that people could install the same rom the same way, then some say "fast; awesome" and others say "unstable; buggy."

I'm running...
CM7 7.2 RC1 (daytona)
ICS 1.7 theme (decompiled to add transparent dialer and battery % mod)
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper
I'm more than happy with this setup. It's going to be on my phone for a while.
Cm7 rc1 problems, me too.
Ti-bu has caused me problems also.
I have come to use this way to restore data:
method 1 works best:

Weird how some people have problems with CM7 and some have none. I've been running it over 4 weeks with zero issues. No FCs or anything. I used Pete's method of rooting and of course you have to load a special modified CM7 X2 Bootstrap after installing CM7. I'm just curious as to what could be the cause of some people having issues.
Turn camcorder on, then turn flash on. Record, then turn of the cam. Fced twice forth me
