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..
Just try different roms yourself. Everyone likes different ones.

Well yeah, but it would be nice to have a narrowed down starting point

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
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
celbfroyo is faster eh? Are you overclocking on the KFv38? Is it noticeably laggy?

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.
What differences are there, if any, between the two roms BESIDES cosmetic differences? Is one faster or better on battery than the other? I've yet to root or flash a rom but I've read up on adb, sbf-flashing, and atrix pseudo-CWM and I think I can handle it. I've also searched but didn't find the information I'm looking for.

I had this question I was told to read the features. In nt experience grey was smoother but a little slower. Ginger was faster but buggier although I did get better battery on grey. That's just my person experience
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Gingerblur had been updated more recently.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yeah, gingers features all seem GUI related, though both are deodexed. Guess ill have to try both but I might just try GrayBlur...
Will I lose all my data and apps when I flash? I think I do but im not sure.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
You shouldnt loose anything as they arent technically full roms just a flashable collection of themes mods and tweaks

LOL, what look do you like better? That's the one you pick.
My God, guys. They are just themes. No. There are no differences in speed or anything. It's one look vs the other. These "roms" are simply theme, maybe with some per installed apps.
haha speed difference on themes =D the only speed difference is are you on the latest update from Motorola
Only asked since gray listed speed hacks and improvements under features, and the feature list for ginger was much, much shorter. This is what happens when newbs ask questions
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
They are themed, but please remember to acknowledge the heavy changes that were made such as deodex, removal and/or addition of key apps, tweaks to enable things like sideloading, HDMI mirroring and Webtop modifications, etc.
They aren't roms, they're what people have dubbed "pseudo-roms" - a composition of changes and tweaks akin to what a rom would provide. It's the best we can do at this point. And I'm really pleased with GreyBlur to be honest. Awesome work.
I was referring to the differences, as both deodexing and the other changes were listed for both I believe. I meant memory speed hack and such listed for grayblur.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I can say I have tried both and my PERSONAL preference is with gingerblur. I ended up putting the ProDX red theme with 1% and circle battery mod over top of gingerblur and LOVE IT looks amazing. Speed wise i never really compared, and I do not use a laptop dock or car dock so never had to worry about the issues with those.
Don't care if.its.gsm or.CDMA
I've read somewhere that part of this is kernel related. If this is true, might not be until source drops?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Yeah, noticed that too, there's something in the kernel that you could mess with and enable it.. or so as I've heard. If its true. I would've.done it myself, but I can't because I'm nothing compared to all these awesome devs out there. So I thought someone else would've tried to fix it.
Although I've heard that enabling CRT would break many of the Kernel's features.. hopefully once the official version of ICS people will try to enable them. Would be awesome.

Hello, everyone
What is it that you expect from a kernel developer? Also, do any of you run gingerbread as of the moment? I only ask because I am trying to take on the task of being a new contributor to this site. I want to contribute by giving you folks kernels. I'm nowhere near done. I am learning, but I feel like I should ask this now. To reiterate, I'm a noob trying to learn, and I’m curious as to what you guys want/see.
i simply want to know what you folks see in a kernel developer, and what you expect from one. While I am typing this, I am fairly nervous of the future responses. I already understand that I violated the rules of XDA by posting this question in general. I am willing to suffer the consequences for my actions as well.
I am simply curious at what you guys think.

Wow, I think its great what you're doing. Thanks.
I'm still running GB because everything works. I guess that's what I'd want in a kernel. A kernel that will run ICS where everything works including all 3D.
Your avatar is cool.
I think it's awesome that you're stepping up to the plate, I think you should make one to your liking 1st & then branch out from there.
If I could muster up the free time to study, I'd like to do the same.

Just be careful if you make something truly amazing.....
Just saying...
I'd say make stuff for you and not what other people want. If YOU want a specific feature put it in there.
The problem with making it with what other people want, is their is essentially less motivation to do it, the works harder, and you get regular users complaining about your work because it's not how "they" want it.
Enjoy your learning man!

What chad did was this: he made a kernel the way HE wanted it. He shared it with a few others, who about 1 month later pushed him to post on xda.
Bottom line: make it the way YOU want it
I think most people are concerned with battery life and performance. But...like everyone said, make it how you want it. What do you want most out of your phone?

So far only two kernel's have impressed me the most.....RCMix kernels (from the desire HD days) and anthrax kernel on the 3D, nothing else has even come close to those two in my opinion.
That's what -I- expect from a kernel.....
what you give will benefit the community surely, so don't let individuals dictate development.....the developers should do that, because at the end of the day....after the dust settles and all is done, it will be the same as what we all want (apart from things like usb host), so welcome and if anybody gives you a hard time, just stick the treasured two finger salute
since you asked... stability. no bs that makes your phone a million times faster or adds couple megapixels to your cam while at the same time adding features that don't even work on most roms.
personally just a kernel that focuses on battery that will be awesome.

If that's in reference to KlQuicksall, the only person I know that brands their kernels RCMix. He's my friend that's helping me learn kernel developing. Hahaha :-D

I would agree with the consensus: make something that:
1) is reliable
2) has great battery life
3) has good performance
The order is important.

Definitely this.
Sadly most of xda do not have the same opinions for what makes a great kernel.

hahahaha my psychic powers right there =P, now you're already my fav kernel dev on xda before you do anything =P
they were brilliant on RCmix ROMs and ARHD ROMs
IMO
You won't make everyone happy as the little bugs that make something work for one phone, but, borked for another.
Secondly, I prefer ICS over GB. Just preference.
However, you asked, and this is what I like:
1) Stability
2) Performance in the area of smooth graphics (choppiness sucks)
3) Battery tweaks
4) Something for GSM and CDMA users.
In that order. I don't overclock simply because it's not really needed. I run a stock speed and have smoother graphics with the LeeDroid tweaks on Booster Shot ICS than I did with LeeDroid tweaks on any overclocked GB ROM I ran. Why go 100 mph when going 70 gets you to the same destination and in roughly the same amount of time and using less gas?
I would like to tell you something like this:
1. All things working
2. Great battery life
3. Smooth and fast
4. Compatible with both gsm and cdma..
Does it look like too much request?

I apologize for I know that similar threads have been created but the last one is fairly old. I have mostly been running AOKP for the last few weeks but I recently tried out serendipity- I'll say that I do prefer an AOSP style rom over a samsung rom. I do like customization but battery life is a priority to me. Can someone please give some input to what rom/kernal/governors are being used to maximize battery life?
There is no simple answer to this question. All Kernels and ROMs are good - please refer to Entropy's battery drain thread for common issues affecting battery drain.
Some kernels however offer UV ability e.g. Siyah which allows u more flexibility.
Having said this I saw about the same battery life on most of the ICS roms I tried.
I am currently evaluating custom GB roms to see if the battery life is better.

Thank you, I will try the fluxi kernel. I know i'm most likely only to receive an open-ended answer at best. It's just that honestly I have tried different combinations on my own without too much success

Sure that works for you but other kernels/governors are better for other people. That's what we're trying to get at so there's no need for a smh.

we've trained most not to say crap like that. its all dependent on user, apps, and device.
just play with them, find one that works best for you and your setup.
