I need to narrow down my search for the fastest Eris ROM available as I use my Eris for work and speed is more important to me than beauty (but if both can be accomplished, then by all means... ) Anyway, any suggestions? Also, along the same line, will 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 ROMs be quickest (as well as Sense-based vs. Non-Sense-based)? I have tried a few ROMs, but am looking to your opinion so that I don't wind up testing every ROM . Also, I have bought LauncherPro Plus and Beautiful Widgets, so Sense widgets aren't a huge deal to me. Thanks!

It's impossible to say - everybody's mix of apps is different, and what one person reports as faster another may report as slower. It's really not that hard to flash a few ROMs and try them out for a while and see what works best for you.

Pretty much this. But I will say, Gingerbread ROMs are supposed to be the fastest, and non-Sense should be faster than Sense any day.
KaosFroyo was insane when i was there, but now i use the Gingerbread rom that is supposedly a port of CM7 which has been running pretty good for me
None sense Gingerbread roms definitely from my experience are the quickest I've tried.

I would generally agree that non-sense/gb roms are going to be your best bet. KaosFroyo, may be a good route to go; especially if you need stability, or anything aosp, and without any bloat.... You may also play around with using different launchers too, as they can effect the speed, stability, and general feel of any rom. I like LP, but others are sleeker and smoother. There are also tons of Benchmark tests on the market that can be used if you want to see numbers- but I agree that your mix of apps/rom/launcher/ and intended use will greatly influence what fits you best.
And anything that is fast already can be overclocked..... setcpu has some great advanced settings that can help you find a balance of speed/battery useage (unless you have a charger/usb charger nearby in your line of work).

I'm running v22 GingerTazz BTW, and was on KaosFroyo before that... all slightly overclocked.
like i said, Kaos was an excellent dev and worked Froyo for all its money when he was around. KaosFroyo is by far the most stable rom around
Agree with Darca about non-Sense Gingerbread ROMs. I'm using GSB 3.1 (and have used KaosFroyo) and think it's the best hands down.

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).
Very tempted to flash CELB Froyo 2.2MB.
Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has thought about posting a poll for the most popular Eris roms..or is that just not cool/not needed/uninteresting/stop asking stupid questions you stupid newb?
Or maybe it's a good idea..and now I can't edit the poll to add that as an option..

Thanks for the suggestion..that one seems to be a really popular one, I starting to lean that way as my starting point..
Best Eris Rom ?
I agree that it really depends on personal opinon.
As I haven't tried very many ROM's, actually only 2 , I have researched this quite extensively and the 2 I have tried and like verrrry much are:
KaosFroyo - I was running v37, but v38 just came out an hour ago
NonsensikalFroyo - I have run 9.5 & 10.1 Black & Blue but im flashing 10.8.1 B&B now
.... both have released updates within the last 24-48 hours.
I havent tried TazzFroyo but I would make that these the top 3 to try first !
Nonsensikal is a Cyanogen Mod build, Kaos is a CM/AOSP build
I hope this helps you narrow things. Happy flashing
Awesome!! Thanks so much! I'm probably going to flash KaosFroyo first since so many have suggested it..
Thanks again!
I just went to kaosfroyo v38. Its sick but celbfroyo is good cause its faster

I second that notion. Also I dont keep up with whats happenning with these roms and just check back here around once a month. It would be really cool if there were constantly new polls that would allow people like me to see what is popular at that point in time to give us a reference point of what to check out.
Thanks for the +1..maybe I just need to start a real one and people will jump on board.
I don't know what overclocking is. I have tazzfroyo now an its faster than v38
Sent from my Vanilla Tazz using XDA App
Overclocking allows you to run the processor at higher than stock speeds. I think most people are running it at around 750mhz where the stock speed is 528mhz.
Basically you can unlock a lot of hidden speed by overclocking at the sacrifice of some battery life.
Your rom may already have an overclocking app installed..do a search for it if your interested, I know I am
It would be a lot of bias. People get attached to roms and their developers so yeah. And different phones will behave differently with different roms.
I am coming over from Tmobile...I have had the Nexus 1, G2, Mytouch4g, and G2x all rooted with custom roms. I see the Thunderbold has a ton of Gingerbread ROMS...Any advice?? Pro's/Con's???
wow, guess there is not that many Thunderbolt folks here....Over in the G2x forums Q's get answered pretty quick...
You're not getting responses because there are a zillion threads like this already. Just read the rom features, look at the screenshots & pick one. If it fits your style, stick with it. If not, try another. Your first step should be deciding if you want Sense or no Sense, then go from there.

then you might want to go a froyo route. Das BAMF remix is very popular. I'm running the stripped (non-sense) version right now.

Hello,
I have got the itch to try a GB ROM again. I'm currently running Project V and it's great, but i want some change. I tried CM7 RC1 when it first came out and couldn't deal with the horrible battery life. But I figure it's been quite a while so things may have improved since then. What would be everyone's suggestion on the best one? I don't like crazy themes or anything. I'm just looking for a stock GB look with decent battery life and stability. Thanks in advance!
I want to know this too!

Calm down now, it's nothing personal. I'm sure it runs just fine. I just like the stock GB look.
The cm7 have drastically improved battery is on part with most other GB roms. I personally love Miui revamped LE it is incredibly fast and the developers are extremely active in the forum. Along with that they update the ROM every Friday and you always think there is no way it can get better but somehow they always seem to exceed expectations

Biffmod
I personally find Simply Honey to be a bit much as well (no offense explodingboy, just not to my taste). So, leaning toward a stock-ish ROM, I recommend Biffmod Vibrant. It's basically CM7, but with a bunch of tweaks to fix the common complaints and a stock look. Here are the changes:
Features:
*Mix of AOSP/cm7 - 2.3.5
*black launcher2
*black camera
*notification widgets
*overclock capable kernel (1.7ghz)
*voodoo color and sound
*BLN/LED Notifications (on by default, the BLN app is not compatible)
*Ricktips
*glitch kernel HL thanks TK-Glitch

I've been using it ever since I switched from my HD2 to the Vibrant, and it's a dream. The only issue I've encountered is a "problem" with the overclocking: the kernel says it can go up to 1.7Ghz, but in my experience it tops out at about 1.4Ghz before the phone starts to freeze up. Other than that, like I said, it's great—I fully recommend it.

I just wanted to chime in, I've tried your rom before and it was fantastic (in fact, i think it was the first one to have bln fixed when all the other roms had broken bln). However, I was past my honeycomb theme phase and is looking for a more stock gb (or close to it) look now. I constantly search for themes for your rom that can make it look like stock but to no avail I think if you added a stock theme zip, you will be able to increase your user base by quite a significant amount of people.
It's great--I easily go a whole day with moderate to heavy Wifi usage (I don't have data) without having to plugin.

I ended up flashing Biffmod last night. It is amazing so far. So smooth and I haven't had a single issue yet. I also ended up flashing the newest Bali Kernel and have it UV'ed quite substantially. We'll see how it does on battery.
Thanks for the advice.
I personally prefer CM7 or Bionix 1.3.1
Every GB rom I've tried has not had a working GPS. I travel for a living so I need this to work. I have since gone back to 2.2 so my GPS works but out of curiosity, is there a GB rom/kernel that supports reliable GPS functionality?
I could be wrong but I think some of the gps work. GPS worked fine for me on Simply Honey 5.0, which I loved. I liked the themeing, especially the pink theme made to go with it!! I just decided to give Trigger (GB not Froyo) a try and I am equally happy with it. GPS isn't a huge issue for me, but I noticed on Trigger I get locks but they are not accurate, usually within 100ft. I also haven't tweaked any of the settings or tried any of the fixes. There are lots of great GB roms out there...just play around and see what suits you best. My Vibrant has always had great gps I've read that some GPS just don't work well on Vibrants.
I personally really like the AOSP GB Roms, Trigger, CM7 and MIUI are all great... have not tried Biffmod yet, but I intend to sometime.
Kernel-wise, I really like Glitch V11 HL
No problem!

It's not a kernel issue. It's just that your vibrant cant handle the overclock as all devices overclock and undervolt differently
Longtime XDA flasher here. I've recently moved on to the GSIII and am going to be giving my beloved Vibrant to my 65-year-old Mom, who wants a touchscreen phone for easier dialing (LOL). She will not be using a data plan, so no need for working GPS, etc.
I'm looking for the most stable, fastest (without bloat) ROM available that will not cause me frustration when getting calls from her asking what a "force close" is!
Right now, I've got Chimera v1 on there. I was thinking of reverting back to maybe GB or even Froyo, but I really haven't kept up with the development in the past few months. So, any suggestions? Thanks!

I would definitely pick Bionix V 1.3.1 as one of the choices. That rom is amazing. I would definitely not go with ICS or JB since both are still developing and have bugs here and there. GB is kind of unstable. I would find a nice, stable Froyo ROM :good:

I think that froyo would be your best bet,
There a quite a few stable roms to choose from in that department.
Something from Fish is always an awesome bet
bionix 1.3.1 BUT, there's a further development on it, its fishman's or fishmod Bionix 1.3.1. It is the most stable Vibrant rom, ever, imo.

Agreed.
Even though ICS/JB is much faster and newer, froyo/gb is pretty simple and easy to use, less settings to mess around with, and its more basic to use than the newer versions. I had quite a though time just changing most of the settings in JB but in froyo/gb, it was much easier.
Being a smartphone, it can tough for even older people to use, but the only thing shes probably would need it how to use the touch-buttons, how to make a call, how to unlock the screen, and your good. Goodluck!
