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

Gingerblur had been updated more recently.

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.

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.

From a performance and functionality stand point which is the better froyo rom?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I'm not going to say what is the BETTER rom. They are both very good. My personal opinion is celb if I had to choose between the two. Also don't forget about cyanogentazz which is also a very good froyo rom.

Kaos updates his ROM it seems like every two days. That's good because you know he is active in developing the ROM. Most are no wipe, so updates are simple.
In fact, he posted an update the other day on the same day that the new search was introduced. Included in the ROM.
That being said, my daily is CELB Froyo. ELB was my first rooted ROM.

Is there really that much of a difference between the froyo roms? It seems to me that they update the same things basically at the same time. I assume they all talk on andIRC cause Ive seen them all in there I believe. The main source comes from cynaogen, kernels from another person, vender trees from yet another, so whats the differences, besides name and Background Picture?
+1 for Nonsensikal, i just flashed it and it is the most stable Froyo rom yet. Plus the blue is pretty awesome.

They all add their own tweaks for speed and battery life and things like that. They add their own backgrounds and ringtones. Also system apps. I actually switched back to tazz. I love the customizable power widget (would be even better if I could choose the indicator color. Going for a red theme don't know If that's even possible though). Also the toggle 2g app is awesome. And the themed version I also like. Now I don't have to fool around with metamorph. Its all just a matter of personal preference.

I downloaded Power Widget from the Market (I think it's like a buck or 2) and you can alter the indicator to any color you want. You can also adjust the transparency, have up to 7 buttons on the widget, and choose the size. I have 7 buttons on 1 widget and it's 1x3 in size.
I used Kaos. Out of all the ones I tried had the least bugs and Kaos is a classy dev on top of it, not like the others are not. I just tried to stick with Kaos because he had originally brought Froyo to the Eris.

Kaos seems to work the best for me. But in the end, all the Froyo roms have a bit of each dev in them. Go with what works best for you.
I agree with samlemur. I've tried kaos and tazz and I prefer kaos. Mostly because it had the camera fix first and I use the camera heavily.

I'm running kaos but it's hard to say, I flash between these froyo kind of often as these awesome devs we have consistently conjure them up for us. Lately I've been between nonsensikal and kaos, kaos froyo v32 may be the smoothest and quickest so far with less lag than other versions/roms.

They are all great and stable. Read through the DEV section and do some research. Find one that suits your needs, then flash away. Just make sure you are unlocked and using the correct recovery. Good luck!

This is no diss to the developers because I very much appreciate their work!
And I haven't tried all the ROMs
Still, for my suite of apps, for the smoothest and most reliable op of the phone and for the longest battery life..I am back to stock. I have frozen apps, I am running the .97 radio (which has made a huge difference to me in reliability and throughput) but I am stock. Mainly, I had issue with the various incarnations of the Faux kernel and always wound up with lost widgets (I like my widgets I tried all the suggestions and still, at some point I would lose widgets with the kernel. Since this is the basis of most ROMs that did it for me (and it has to be the kernel since I had the problem on the stock ROM with the kernel).
Good luck...it is easy to go back to stock if you don't like the various ROMs.
I intend to try CM7 later on when the Faux kernel and the integration with Setcpu (both cores) is resolved and CM7 has webtop integration (I use the lapdock every day).
I've used a few of the ROM's out there and right now I am on HomeBase version 2 with Faux's latest kernel. I will say that the version of HomeBase is pretty close to stock but it has a bunch of enhancements (zipalign, memory tweaks, etc). My suggestion is to get to flashing and see what suits you. What I like you may hate. CM7 is worth a try as well and I may switch over when it become official (or I may wait for MIUI).
As for the widget issue...fix permissions fixed it for me, hundreds of restarts and I still have my widgets.
You should check out the dev section...good ROM's and good reading!!!

Hey everyone, I am going to be trading some services (a mechanic is doing my breaks in exchange for me rooting and custom romming his lady's phone) and would like to know what your opinion is on the best thunderbolt ROMs available? She is currently on stock software and hates absolutely everything about her phone and how it behaves.
What would you guys recommend? I'm looking for functionality, reliability, battery life and the smallest amount of software bugs as possible.
Tweaked stock ROMs? AOSP? CM7 or 9? I know nothing about the thunderbolt community and would greatly appreciate any info you can give me.

Leaving it on a stock rom unless you plan on maintaining the rom for her..If she has no idea what shes doing then dont cause a headache for yourself, with techs its nothing to change out a rom, or if it gets buggy, well you get the point... the best thing would be a factory reset, or check the memory on the phone she prob has to many apps, install the apps from the sd card to free up the memory cuz im on a stock rom and its way fast, great battery, most of all the battery issues are from apps..just trying to save you a down the road..
I would go to the dev section of this forum and look at the ROMs and see what catches your eyes its opinion over opinion when saying stock is better than custom tons, I myself like custom roms because you can choose a wide variety of tweaks etc etc

Definitely a stock based ROM, like Zues. AOSP's battery life isn't as good as Sense (to no fault of the amazing devs of course).
I also suggest Imoyeson's leankernel 5.1.0GB in battsaver mode. Amazing performace with amazing battery life.
I also recommend Zues. ran it for a month straight no problems. only switched roms to see what else is out there
BAMF 1.11 with kernel+++ and turn off task manager at startup. Since I've installed the latest version of BAMF I've had zero fcs, great battery life and good speed. I'm a tech all day long with Windows PC and understand little about behind tor scene android functions. BAMF seems most reliable and low maintenance. Remember every phone responds different to the same os. It's just like gas every kia responds different to bp gas.

I was just wondering what different tweaks people use that work. The only thing I been using is jokers 1.3 kernal on cm7 and just tried 3g/4g optimizer for 3g boost. I am new here so off I'm curious as to what you guys use for tweaking things like 3g etc....
Sent from my CM7ed MoPho
Hello and welcome! 3g tweaks are one of those grey areas in which people seem to have varying results. None have ever done much for me.. However, zeroing out any proxies within your build.prop usually seems to get me slightly faster and more reliable 3g speeds. CM7 is pretty optimized from the get-go, but i urge you to make good use of that kernel. By that i mean, sit down and really set up profiles, underclock by no more than 50 if you want to be sure you get no random reboots, run the powersave governor instead of performance (with deadline), dont bother overclocking unless youre really obsessed with benchmarking scores as jokers mods to the kernel improve performance at stock frequencies and visible performance gains are minimal with overclock. If everything is set up correctly, don't bother using a battery saver app as profiles can generally do the same thing. Dont use task killer apps, they hurt battery performance and do more harm than good. Might wanna check out startup manager to dictate which apps start upon boot if you have a ton of apps. Check out an app called ad away to get rid of those pesky ads. Rom Toolbox Lite app is good for many many little tweaks as well. Thats all i can really think of right this second. Other than these i like to keep it generally clean.
What is the most accurate speed test app? I been using speedtest.net mobile.
Sent from my CM7ed MoPho
There isn't. All of them are slightly inaccurate. Best way to judge your speed is to actually download something.

You'll find your phone actually runs smoother without the task killer. They were useful in the days when phones had limited amounts of ram. With today's phones its redundant given that android has its own 'task killer' built in.
Yup. I noticed. Runs all smooth now.

I'm looking for a Honeycomb ROM with normal battery life (Jelly Bean drains 30% per day even without using), rooted, and if possible bloatware / de-sensed.
I'm looking through the threads but there's a lot of broken links and everything's just really old anyway.
Is there a ROM like this available? Not just on this site, but perhaps hosted elsewhere too?
Man this place is dead. The AOKP Roms have pretty good battery. But I love HTC sense so I just deal with the battery.

I normally don't believe in "best ROM" threads, as there is no such thing. The best ROM depends on your personal needs and expectations. But I also understand this forum is dead, and seeking some current opinion is somewhat justified.
I've been using CleanROM for a while now. Scrosler makes great ROMs. As the name implies, its just a cleaned up version of stock HC, with some performance enhancements, and not too many mods.
I was using Honeysense HC for a long time before that. But it was starting to lag really bad over time. Even a full wipe and re-flash didn't help matters. Not sure if it was the ROM per se, or something else. But the lag is what prompted me to move to CleanROM. Honeysense had some good battery life and features, and worth a try.
Tried LeeDroid as well. Think many people were on it, and it too has some nice mods and features. But the app drawer was way too crowded for me. Think the dev was going to put out a flashable mod for less crowded app drawer layouts, but it never happened.
There are other ROMs of course. And they may well be awesome. But I just never got around to trying them.
Hi,
I'm currently using cleanrom HC. Sense minus some of the stock apps and with a small amount of refinement.
I'm quite pleased with it. Very stable.
