not to be rude but thats kinda what you gotta do is make a night of it and dl the roms you wanna try out and just see what you think of each one.... ive ran 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 and personally i like conap roms, all of his stuff has been super reliable for me...all the roms out there are gonna be snappy and quick it just comes down to your own prefrence, i might like vanilla and you might like sense.

sense or any other type of rom it doesn't really matter to me. I am just looking for the fastest and most reliable rom.
Its all personal preference, and downloading/testing a few is your best option to find the fastest/clean running ROM for you. Some Eris' act up on certain ROMS whereas others wont. Ill personally tell you that my phone was laggy and force closed alot when I used some of the Eris 2.1 sense ROMS, even with overclocking. Keep in mind though that I was the only person having those problems on ROMS that worked great for many. Now I run CM Froyo ROMS and those tend to satisfy my needs. IMO Nonsesikal has worked best for me, particularly Vanilla 13.7. That version isnt on the ROM thread either. You'll have to go to the thread, click to download an older version, and it'll take you to the site that has all versions for download. Give 13.7 a shot if you'd like, but remember that it may take a few ROMS before your happy.

I liked nonsensikal as well. I just rely on my phone a lot, and with the Froyo ROMs, I invariably run into a bug that I don't have time to workaround, so I switch back to xtrSense. It's fast and its stable. Thats why I like it. But I do have a wandering eye.

thanks. anyone else
i been using froShedYo and it works perfect for me.. best rom ive used by far
I've said this elsewhere but I'll repeat it. +1 xtrSENSE or xtrROM. They were so good that they are what remained on my phone for the longest periods of time (3-4 months) and the ONLY reason that I moved on from them is that they worked so well (i.e., reliable) that I was bored and wanted to tinker more. LOL. I'm very serious, though.
If I had to choose one over the other, I'd probably choose xtrSENSE. Or at least start with that and if you get comfortable enough with that, you could move to xtrROM later.
I like xtrSense too. It's just fast without the extra bugs or anything. The only bug I have is the 50% cell time standby bug but I think that's dependent on the phone.
CELB most definately if you like CM and Froyo.
FroShedYo is a tie, if you want something customized/themed. V6 is my fav. Haven't tried V7 yet, but I would guarantee its stable, fast and it has the same theme as V6. Also the purple is really cool. That's what my wife is using.

I had to post this because the only to working roms are the Gingerbread ones and thats it. Did all the developers stop working on their roms and moved on? or can we expect updates on their exsisting roms?
There are some really good roms out there and it seems as though the Eris is coming to an end.
Hmmm the only two working roms are the Gingerbread ones? I beg to differ....
It seems like most of the froyo roms have been updated around mid-late January.. I didn't know a few weeks was the end of our eris' lives! Your right though, in the sense that CM7 is now the new popular choice, and subsequently the most updated/talked about roms. Also alot of our devs have moved on to different phones and only drop by occasionally here to maintain their work and lend an expert hand
Sent from my GSBv1.5-ERIS using XDA App
xtrROM was just updated to version 5 a couple of weeks ago. CELB gets updated every few weeks. My guess is that Workshed and Tazz are concentrating on GB rather than Froyo these days, though I think Tazz is still working on the Froyo Sense build.
I think that Froyo has matured, obviously Eclair has as well, and obviously Gingerbread is getting a lot of attention right now.
Tazz is still updating his Froyo rom's, workshed is still updating his Froshedyo build, punk.kaos is still updating his froyo build as well as his GB build. New themes and complete theme roms are being built for cm7 AND cm6 constantly. Just gotta check the forums frequently and watch for updates. There's actually quite a bit of action going on in the Eris forums now a days, on the CM6 side as well as CM7. Also I am about to have a CM6 rom in the works.
Tazz and Workshed are perfecting their CM7 roms at the moment but are still dedicated to their CM6 roms too. There are some amazing devs here at the Eris forums that are working hard through sickness and all kinds of personal issues to give the people what they want. The 1st post is kind of like an insult to their work. Don't give up on them, they just have a lot on their plate right now.
Oh no don't get me wrong, I love my Eris. I do like the new GB roms its basically the same style and it makes it confusing which one to load on the phone. Zenexp, Energyexpress, tenzoRCmix those roms I wish were updated too. Especially those roms with apps2sd which makes it better for the Eris being that the Eris doesn't have lots of space.
But I understand these Dev's working hard to ensure that our phone become part of the whats new in the market on other phones. I commend their hard work.
just fyi both the gingerbread roms now have app2sd and cache2cache working. also, tazz had commented recently in his gingerbread thread about working on the camera for froyo sense.
Any of the 2.1 roms have been taken as far as they can go.
The 2.2 ROMs are almost 100% perfect... so no reason to update.
2.3 ROMs make the most sense.

He doesn't seem to be. KF last update was two months ago, and his GB ROM hasn't been updated since Jan 10. I'm not complaining about it at all, but he seems to be spending a lot of time working on his Fascinate ROMs right now.
I think Conap, Workshed, Tazz, Tenzo, and Zach.xtr are the developers most actively working on Eris ROMs right now.
Not so fast, Ranger Rick! They're developing on MANY levels. The Eris is still a big deal, okay? Okay
And now there is another new dev on here..... ME ! Put up my 2.2 rom a few days ago !

Started working on a CM7 build yesterday as well and should have it done by the end of the week hopefully !!!!
Thanks for the feedback guys. I didn't mean to sound like a jack, but you're right about the roms. I would love to create my own or better yet take a rom and change to my liking. But don't know how. These roms you guys make are awesome but its like I always want more and always love new updates or new roms.
I'm good with PSCS4 but not coding or even trying to create a rom. I would love to learn and create my own or mod someone elses rom. How?
I think that first learning app creation might be a good place to start, get the basics of programming down. Then try to go deeper with a ROM. Idk, maybe that's just my own idea. I personally am kind of in the process od learning Java coding to make apps and have a few ideas for apps. The developer of one of my favorite apps called Ethereal Dialpad is helping me learn. He suggested Processing. Seems easy enough.

As long as you follow it step by step and don't do anything wrong it's actually kind of easy. Once I got everything installed and running it took me about 2 days to get my own 2.2 rom up and working (very fast and stable if I might add lol) which is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963722
Now I'm working on a CM7 GingerBread rom for the Eris which will hopefully be done by the end of this week. Main thing you need to do is download the Oracle Virtual Machine and install Ubuntu on it. That first link I posted tells you how to do everything ! Try it out man, gotta start somewhere ! If you need any help with making yours, just let me know and I'll help to the best of my abilities !

this is great news and I am glad to read this! My Eris was my first Android phone and I am glad to see it is still being developed for! yeah!
The Eris is still alive according to Droid Life's article. We might get an OTA update. AWESOME. I still love my phone and love creating icons and putting ideas on it. Its just that every other phone is getting more attention and the Eris is in the back burner.
I'm still keeping mine.
The update is confirmed and people are already getting it. Justrelaxing on the Android Central forums has already got the update along with a few others. Here's the page, go to post #27

Hi guys, sorry that this has probably been asked a million times, but I've been through the bible and 10 pages of this board and can't find a single clean TouchWiz ROM without garbage theming and addons that just make the phone unpleasant to use.
All I'm looking for is a clean, unthemed, TouchWiz Froyo ROM that's stable and doesn't have any bloat. Should I just revert to stock and remove the bloatware manually, or is there a ROM that fits this criteria? Thanks.
Garbage theming? I would give u an answer but I dont know what completly stock ROM is out there but I will let u know ur not gonna get one if ur gonna be bashing on all these Devs ROMs and then ask for info. Just be a lil more concious on what u say.

I have no issue with the hard work these devs do, I appreciate all the impressive achievements they've made. I use custom ROMs on my Desire and Transformer.
What I don't like, though, is not being able to find a single ROM that has the UI made the way Samsung intended. People dislike TW for being inconsistent with the rest of Android, never mind colours on top of that which are often inconsistent, hard to read, clash, or not a colour I'd chose. I find it hard to believe there's not anyone else who'd agree.

I'd have to say Project V and then put TW3 back onto it and it's pretty much like a "Stuck +" ROM.
Looks like stock, but runs EXTREMELY smooth and fast.

Quick question, is there a link for TW3 I'm missing? All I saw was TW4.
IMO this is the best 2.2.1 rom for the vibrant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015303
Bone stock AOSP rom, with a Hint of touchwiz. Paired with his Kernal, or the latest Bali for 2.2/2.2.1 can't be beat.
Best battery life I've ever gotten,
Best GPS I've ever seen.
and its Uber smooth, atleast as smooth as CM7 if not smoother.

That also looks sweet. Add in Launcher Pro or ADW and it could work fine. Thanks!
I would say Project V or Bi-Winning, but if you want to upgrade to GB you can try RevolutionRom which is virtually stock (it is themed like the SGSII) with a few tweaks to make fast and really stable.
First things first...don't yell at me for creating this thread
Relatively new to android (I was an old school winmo guy for a long time *dcd!*) and now I wanna root my E3D and flash some other roms on it.
So the question is, what kinda roms do you all suggest? I love sense so any suggestions?
If you don't want to be yelled at...why not post in Q&A? This is a question right...
Anyway, Android Revolution HD is my favorite sense ROM now. MIUI is awesome if you want something radical, but is buggy. CM7 is good too but a bit buggy.

I've been using Deck's (kushdeck) sense rom for eons now. I've tried a bunch of other Sense roms, many of which were awesome, but a lot had some issues because they were nightlies or whatever. With deck's, I get unbelievable battery life in comparison to any other rom. It's a pretty standard sense rom, doesn't have much extra themeing, but it's extremely solid. (my nandroid of that rom is named KushSuperStable, lol).

Yea, it is sad that he's gone ghost. I hope everything's alright with him in 'real life' and that all is well. Hopefully when he has some more free time he comes back over here. At least the way he left the rom is perfect, I have not one complaint about it and see no need to update it.

The most stable I have used thus far have been clean rom, steel rom, and virus' eternity roms (builds 1.1, 1.2.2, and 1.4)....
Either one of those will be solid and reliable. Virus 1.4.2 rom seems very solid as well but I haven't made the jump yet simply bec#use I want to put this one through the long haul test... been on this rom and the bc kernel v3 for over two weeks, over clocked at 1.62 ghz with not one issue.
I would give eternity 1.4 a shot

SteelRom is my absolute favorite Sense based rom. But nothing will ever beat the awesomeness of CM7
Lot of good suggestions in here, but when it really comes down to it you need to read up and just try stuff.. Doesnt take much to nand and try a rom for yourself.
Another thing that matters is what YOU use on your phone..
For example, someone said that MIUI is radical which is very true but its awesome once you get used to it and that its buggy.. but that may not be true for everyone because for me its flawless for what I use it for.. I dont have 4g in my area so I could care less about that, I dont use any hotspot apps so that doesnt matter for me as some are having issues with that. 3D doesnt work but honestly I barely ever use it anyways..
Although I wouldnt recommend MIUI as your first rom to flash because it does take some getting used to.. and you also mentioned that you like sense.
Eternity is one of my favorites and I used it for a while, its sense but has some cool features that make it different then stock sense.
Again its hard to say which are best because there are so many talented Devs around that are making awesome roms.. so get used to nanding and dive in..
another vote for Eternity Rom.
Ive been with Eternity for several weeks now. I flashed MIUI temporarily and didnt like it, back to Eternity.
I am currently on 1.4.1 and Ziggy dual core kernal. Great benchmark scores @ 1.7
1.8 seems unstable on some of the benches like cf and antutu. But I typically just keep it at stock CPU speed anyhow, so Im not worried about it.
Some people seem to have more issues than others. Some the screen locks up on them while charging, others it wont go to sleep, some people the screen wont wake up during an incoming call.
Myself I havent had any issues really. My facebook app seems to force close quite a bit whenever I try to post on someones wall. I would like to see that fixed, but as far as I know, no one else really has that issue. So it may just be something glitchy on my phone.
But yes. Definitely try Eternity. You wont regret.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, will definitely try out some of your suggestions!
Aside from the poor choice of thread title, we know nothing about the device. I guess I could've missed it skimming through all 2 pages. What Hboot is on the device? Figuring out which method to use and how far you'll be able to go is a good start. You should be checking out the root threads before asking about ROMs. Just a thought, not intended to be rude in any way.
Miui is the best rom hands down for looks and feel. And it gets better every week!

I agree on Deck's ROM too, but because he has gone AWOL, I've switched over to CleanROM 2.7. It's just as reliable as Deck's ROM, battery life is almost as good, but you can OC and make it FLY while still retaining excellent battery life. And... it's more customizable than Deck's ROM.
I've run both Deck's ROM and CleanROM 2.7 long term and can recommend both. I'd give the edge to CleanROM though (there's a CleanROM Developer's Edition too).

I have lots of my old unreleased roms stored up and am curious if you guys would like them.
These are the 2.2.1 i9000 releases, with signal fixes and home key haptic feedback.
The ones I haven't done I can get done in about a half hour. In fact, to get back in the swing of things, I have been redeodexing, fixing signal reboot and adding haptic to them one at a time - very helpful as a learning experience for me as my "Chemo Brain" sucked tons of knowledge away and I have to relearn a lot of it.
Anyway, do you guys have any interest in these or any of my unreleased past roms? I don't want to start a new thread if there is no demand for it.
Let me know!

Are they all pretty much the same? 2.2.1 based, differently themed etc. I honestly don't know how much you can change in like 8 ROMS on the same firmware.
If they are, I would just say Make one ROM thats the most stable; and then put the others as themes possibly for that one ROM?
I think you should also move along to ICS as the other devs have done, possibly join one of the devs and work with them rather than creating the same ROM, like there are right now about 8 AOKP Roms, which run the same, have a different kernel.
I'm interested in stock style 2.2 roms. Now that megauploads is gone most of the links in here are dead and we're stuck with ICS roms aren't 100% working or 2.2 roms that are so tweaked they're unreliable at best.

I did and had either problems with bluetooth, gps, mute/unmute, mic problems (which killed my bt headset), or all of them at the same time. They were all pretty bad. I need a phone that 100% works and ICS hasn't offered that yet. When it does I might switch but right now I'm content on near stock 2.2. All out speed isn't worth reliably IMO.
Jellete, i'm interested. I still have your BOJS5 rom on my sdcard. I'm sure people will love your new rom. Thanks
