I am just wanting some feed back on something. I am pretty sure I know the answer but here goes. BTW can not post this to threads in devel section so posting it here.
I installed Grayblur 2.1 on a rooted 1.83 and it was fast, I was very pleased with it, but I did not like the theme, so I did a reinstall, the same install I did to get to a rooted 1.83 for Grayblur and then installed Gingerblur 3.1.
It seems slower to me. I would think it should be the same if not maybe better, anyone else seen slower scrolling in Gingerblur 3.1 vs Grayblur 2.1?
I notice it in the app menu and when pulling down the alert/status bar.
So maybe just a glitch in the install and should wipe and have another go, or is there a real difference between the two?
Personally I do not see a difference in mine from GreyBlur to GingerBlur, but I have read of others saying GreyBlur is smoother/faster. I did a clean install from 4.1.26 sbf flash to 4.1.83 updated, then installed GingerBlur 3.0 and updated to 3.1. Maybe a clean install makes more of a difference than we think it does.

Just curious to see the differences, I was on GreyBlur 2.1 before i did a sbf flash to 1.83 and now I am going to install one of these. Help me decide!
Gingerblur... if you like the look of greyblur, check out the themes forum for the greyblur theme only files...
Why don't you create a backup in CWM, then flash both and see which you prefer.
So I'm switching back to a Froyo ROM because school's starting soon. My current plan is to do the trigger ROM with the Overstock kernel. I read the OP for trigger 3.2 and 2.9.4 (and re-read it, thank you very much and I can't see what the differences are. They're both froyo roms. Is 3.2 just a recompile? And what's KB5 and KB1 mean? Doesn't it have something to do with the base firmware? Lastly, what's the difference between 3.2_final and 3.2_final_wmfix on the trigger download page? (http://sourceforge.net/projects/trigger-rom/files/) Please excuse my noobishness.... I tried a gingerbread rom and pretty much broke my phone (crashed a lot, almost every app force closed) . I just want to get it stable and battery efficient. Any help?
EDIT: SOLVED!
Hi,
I'm currently on GingerBlur v4.5 right now and kind of want to update to 2.3.4 (some little things in GingerBlur just don't seem to work very well -- phone doesn't vibrate when I receive text messages, for example).
I'm aware that I need to go back to stock and then do the OTA update, but would doing so stop me from being able to root/theme? I'm excited for CM7 to be released, but kinks are still being worked out and I don't want to install anything that isn't at least in the "beta" stage, which I assume to be relatively stable.
Would reflashing (?) GingerBlur fix some of the issues I have or should I update to 2.3.4?
Also, is there any way to 'theme' Motoblur? I know of ADWLauncher and things like that, but I'd like everything else to look as close to vanilla Gingerbread as possible as well.. many thanks
When you say stock do you mean AOSP or Blurred 2.3.4? CM7 is the only thing sporting 2.3.5 that I'm aware of.
The latest stock version from Motorola is 2.3.4.
Sorry guys, meant to say 2.3.4 -- I've edited the post/title accordingly.
I've rooted a couple phones and used a few ROMS. I'm having trouble with my DX2 installing Eclipse barebones. It gets hung up with installing the .zip in recovery with trying to install and it wont install. I eventually pull battery and restart. I'm currently running 2.3.4 that I spf'ed and rooted installed CWM and bootstrap. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I would highly recommend the real eclipse versions. If you are wanting to stay on 2.3.4 eclipse 1.3 version from nitro is very stable. If you want to go to 2.3.5 version 2.03 is also very good and stable. No issues on Nitro's version. Also you can get the most current updates on eclipserom.com
The version Ace is playing with barebones is not really a rom it is a nanodroid of his own doing on top of Nitro's eclipse rom.
I'm kinda new to this whole rooting thing and so far the only ROM I've tried beside the stock 2.2 is Liberated Aria DDX FR007.
I was reading about Liberated Aria 2.2.2 final found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272 and wanted to know if this will be a good upgrade.
If so, is there anything else I should do after installing it? I was reading about an upgraded Kernel (which i have no clue about) and GPS issues.
Is there anything else I should know about? Basically I was thinking about this move due to some bugs i currently have with my current setup. Contacts getting erased and no sync with gmail or fb.
Sorry for the noob questions, I just got lost following that thread after 40 pages.
Thanks in advanced for any advice.
Liberated Aria 2.2.2 is pretty much just a slightly updated version from FR007. If you like to keep things working pretty much the same way they do now then you should be happy with it. You do not need to worry about modifying the kernel or GPS libs with that ROM.
I would suggest doing a clean install if you are having syncing problems.
Oddly enough... I was going through the steps to do the install and when I performed the delete cache/dalvik, my sync started working again.
Nevermind, controls do work.
