I was just wondering what is the best froyo Rom for the Eris? And are there any I don't have to do a wipe to install? The idea of wiping makes me nervous.

you have a lot of reading to do
you have to read the rules and the info you need are all at the top
epically where it says to "read first"
im not trying to be mean but i read when i was a newbie
You must always wipe between roms. You don't want any nasty clingy bits from other roms.
Also my favorite flavour of froyo is Kaos.

Yeah....im pretty sold on kaosfroyo! I've tried them all but it is what suits me. Truthfully its all about what fits you. Just gotta try em out.

Always wipe between flashes of different ROMs. I use Charmin for maximum comfort.
There isn't really a "best" Froyo ROM, they all have their "features."
KaosFroyo is not themed, but he does add in little bits of his own flavor to the ROM (he includes AutoKiller, last I checked, and the Droid X keyboard, among other things).
CELBFroyo is as stock CyanogenMod 6 (Froyo, but better, also called CM6) as you're gonna get. He likes to leave his ROM with a pure Vanilla taste and leave customization up to the users.
Nonsensikal and CyanogenTazz both offer pre-themed versions of CM6 (I THINK Cyanogen Tazz still offers themes) and, as far as I know, pretty close to stock CM6 beyond that (you'll have to read those threads to find out more).
As a footnote, please, just read the threads. It makes everybody happy, and you'll probably understand things in the Android dev world better for discovering and reading the material for yourself.
Thanks guys. If I have to wipe do you recommend a way to back up my apps and settings then restore them after I flash the froyo rom? Also are any of the Roms that were mentioned more stable than the others as of now?

Titanium backup can be used to backup/restore apps. As for stable all frayo roms are very stable, I run kaos Frayo
I always go back to CELB. Solid performance and stable everyday rom. The only issues I have come across are known issues with all Eris Froyos. Current 2.6 release, the only issue I know of is the camera to gallery back to camera issue which I've been able to work around by replacing the 3D gallery with the old 2D gallery. (Note: the little preview box shortcut does not work with 2D, but menu shortcut works fine, coming and going)

I use App Brain to sync my apps, and then after I wipe and flash a new ROM, I just install App Brain first and it pretty much does the rest of the work for me. The biggest pain after that is just signing into everything the first time; that alone takes me another half hour.
And you do want to wipe, especially if you're changing ROMs, not just moving to the next version. Not doing so is just asking for trouble.
You have to wipe, from my understanding.I flashed KaosFroyo v34 on my Eris and when I went into recovery, I just installed the .zip. It finished and rebooted. The screen was loading and I saw the "Android" across the screen. For 20 Minutes. I figured It froze so I just took the battery out and then booted again. Same thing. So I booted back into recovery, Wiped (I was a little nervous to, Always nervous with your first! ) So all the data cleared and I re-flashed the rom. It rebooted and VIOLA!! Worked like a champ. My interpretation is that if you do not wipe completely, there are still some saved data for your stock firmware, and it loops. So yes, wipe.
In my opinion, I think KaosFroyo v34 is the best. Again, that is my opinion, and If you happen to want to jailbreak a PS3, well, that is the rom that those DEV's used. Its faster than 2.1, has better battery life (make sure you clear battery data), and it comes preloaded with a bunch of goodies!!
I'm trying to figure what rom to use. I can't really seem to decide which is faster. Is there another rom that you guys think is stable and very fast?

Try both and see which one you prefer.
I like Fusion since it has almost gotten rid off the touchwiz crap.
right now i am running this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773018
it is a great ROM, and it flies. i do not have any lag fix installed and i have absolutely no lag at all. and touchwiz is completely removed
I was loving Bionix 1.9 but I Odin-ed back to Stock JI6 because I think Froyo is coming out soon. It was released internationally last week and the Captivate already has it.
I am sure Fusion is very nice but I got sick of flashing new ROMS every other day. Just my 2 cents.

this is my first ROM and i am running Bionix 1.9.1 for a few days now. stable so far, works as advertised. i am running bionix191_JACS_OCUV_VOODOO and i have also installed SetCPU. if you decide to go with it please make sure you take a look at this before you do anything: https://sites.google.com/site/projec...allation-guide. if you follow the guide you should have no probs.
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.
just my experience

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
But if your choice is Fusion or Bionix.. go with fusion
I've tried both... Go with Fusion if you don't use the TW launcher. If you are unsure about LP, its very cool.
I am running 1. 9 and I love it so far but I do miss cm5 on my mytouch slide :-( I hope it does work out for cm6 on the vibrant.

^ 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.
Could someone put together a stock ED05 froyo rom. Please!!!
I want to put it on my wife's phone and she is used to the stock rom, I have tried other roms bit I'm tired of her complaining about this and that. I just need it dodexed, debloated, and rooted. So I can put an accurate battery on it and restore with titainum.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I suppose I could debloat it myself.
Sent from my VooDoo Gummy Charge
I would suggest GeeWiz which is very close to a stock debloated/deodexed and it already has an accurate battery built in.

Thanks. I might give a shot.

I definitely need something to flash before I go crazy!
NOTE: this isn't a "what should I flash onto my phone now" type board, this is just a "I'm bored and realized I'm going crazy cause I don't have anything to flash."
by the way, I'm definitely not asking for any ETA's for any new roms.
Lol I know the feeling. My wife has a bionic and she finally let me root it and debloat it. But she will not let me put a custom rom on it. I so want to flash dhacker ICS on it I would put eclipse on it also but she is on. 902 and nitro is still working on the new version.
I switched back to my Samsung fascinate to cure my flash addiction.
PS: ICS is amazing

I know its dumb but I want to play with 2.3.6 no I don't have a Milestone, nor am I a developer just that freaking bored. The last flash I did was in a local Walmart.

I am a courious person not sure why I know 2.3.5 & 2.3.6 files won't work. I actually want to poke around with the Atrix Port files to see if I can figure out what it will take to port it. I'm pretty good looking for different things that link a common denominator. Whether or not I can do it is a whole different story. I have never developed. But I have played around with the xml files with and without Hickups.
Smali and Java I have not tried yet I would like to try out of boredom. It would be cool to drop down toggles built in for an app that can be changed out for another. Like I said Just Bored thats all. Probably long run I will defiantly crash and brick.

How sad is this? I was on cm7 and then sbf'd to stock 2.3.4. Things didn't run too bad, but then I couldn't stand it anymore. It just felt...dirty.
So I nandroided back to cm7. I feel guilty, like I was cheating.

I wonder if I can do that with Mastafunk's (I think that's who made it) Naked ROM that was based off of 2.3.4. hmm..
I was running CM7 and installed miui on top. Didn't really like miui but restoring CM7 backup seemed like cheating. So I installed CM7 on top of miui. CM7 on top of miui on top of CM7. Interesting.

I'm currently on rc4a because I was getting better speeds on t-mobile than on rcv. But I currently don't really see any utility in it. But I'm not sure how to go back to stock Rom? I mean I have a nandroid backup from when I first rooted which would take me back to stock. But I thought there was another way to get it just so I know for future reference.
Also is there a way i can get the overclock kernel on the stock Rom. Do I even need it because I have set cpu?
The one thing I did like from saurom rom is that it did remove the bloatware. Is there a better way i can do it or should I just remove or freeze it from titanium backup?
Will bln still work? I also still want my blaze modem but figure all I have to do is reflash it? Right?
I just think stock Rom is better for me since newer versions of saurom give me slower speed. Stock Rom won't be laggy will it?
Thanks in advance I know this is a lot of questions to answer. Really appreciate the xda and android community.

i cant answer all your questions. but have you tried flashing the collective the unofficial rom? i loved it. but i just put ICS on my phone. and dagr8 is creating a rom for that right now. its mostly all stock. just rooted so you have more access
No i havent flashed the unofficial..i didnt really like the look of it... How did you put ics on it? It isnt released yet, I'm assuming you put a ics theme or likewise? What rom are you talking about, is it made from one of the leaks? I would love to have a mainly stock vanilla ics rom!
Nvm i found it. This was such a suprise and here i was about to head off to bed. lol this sounds neat but i think ill wait a few days and see the reviews.
Yeah im sure if you wait a week or something there will be a new.awesome Rom for ics.
