Hey guys, I'm new here and am a novice with rooting. I rooted my phone and installed the 2.1 rom that looked like the original. I really don't like the look of the "vanilla" or "darkened" modified roms.
My question is if there's a 2.2 rom designed like my 2.1 stock looking rom. I don't remember the exact rom I installed, but if you guys need it for reference I can try to find it again.
Thanks

There are basicly four 2.2 roms to choose from for the Eris. You would need to try them for your self. I've tried all of them myself. None of them look like 2.1. If you like your 2.1 rom, why don't you simply apply another theme to it.
If by "stock like" you mean 2.2 with HTC Sense then no there are no 2.2 roms like that. A vanilla rom would be the closest to "stock like" as you can get.
i want to update my vibrant. i'm a patient guy and i can wait for samsung and/or t-mobile to come out with the official release but some of these mods intrigue me. there are some variants i like. i note most don't have touchwiz.
that's a problem. i actually LIKE touchwiz. i have tried other launchers and i find myself going back to touchwiz. i'm not really into those other launchers. so here's my question- i can follow directions and install a 2.2 mod upgrade from 2.1 ji6 without an issue. how can i extract touchwiz so that i can install it after i install 2.2? and as a bonus, are there any 2.2 mods which still have touchwiz as a part of the pack?
There are several versions of 2.2 that include TouchWiz. Pretty much any of the "stock" ROMs will have it. Several of the previous Axura versions include it and both Eugene and Team Whiskey have ROMs that remain mostly TouchWiz.
You can use ODIN to flash a stock 2.2 that has root enabled... its the ALT METHOD in my noob guide.
Hello, i am new to the whole modding thing, and i just wanted to know if there are any 2.2 or 2.3 roms that keep the default apps like timescape and others. I really love Sony's interface, but i hate the fact that it's running android 2.1. It would be very appreciated if somebody could give me a good recommendation.
You can try Wolfbreak's CM6.1.3 ROM. Its fast and stable. It does not have timescape by default, but he has provided a flashable zip of it for those who wanted timescape.
You can find its details here:

Thank you I have looked around, and I think I'll stick with the default launcher until the Arc roms is finished.
Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?

Hi,
Im new to custom ROMS and have been trying many, I have settled at the moment on wanamlite ROMS which have what I want on and enjoy using. He updates regularly but recently he has stopped all theming and modding of his ROMS. I would like to try and get back the Blue Icons theme and the CRT Off that were on his Earlier ROMS. Could anyone help or direct to something that might be compatible with the ROM I currently have.
I am using his latest v5.5 based on XXELLA.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
