Like any other question of this sort your gonna get some varied answers. My pick is GSB by workshed. That's what i've been running for a while now.
My reasons are:
- #1 It runs fast (even faster if coupled with the SuperCharger, 3G & Kernel tweaks by Zeppelinrox)
- Launcherpro, which it contains, is a great launcher! Quick & customizable
- v3.8 has been very stable
- Everything works (maps issue is not a GSB issue btw)
It is, sadly, no longer being developed though so v3.8 is it unless someone else picks up where workshed left off.

gersto is right!
I really like Marcodroids MR8 then I use Zeam as a launcher. You might try it. Use Titanium Backup - Pro recommended and flash several of these. I'm not into Sense ROMs as they bog my little ERIS. Macrodroid also has another ROM EverVolv you might look at.
Good luck! Bottom line is "Flash and Find out"

I have tried them all..and for me CS by far has the best ROM. It's stable, fast and has a small footprint ..he has created a stripped down version which has really done wonders for my phone.. All of the developers are great ..don't get me wrong. Just use their roms and if you don't like it, use another. Just don't go and flame the person..They do this for all of us and for them as well.Hope this helps.

Tazz AOSP.....Fastest Rom out here. CS rom is right behind it though!!!!

Best GB rom which i like,
gsb, cm7, omgb pure gingerbread.
All are best check it yourself, and which one suits best for you.

I have tried all the GB ROMs and I always come back to TAZZ AOSP. It is fast and smooth. It runs really well with no problems. No flash, just a really solid ROM.
I prefer v5 for some reason, but I just noticed that Tazz is working on a v7 and needs testers.

Condemned's CM7 rom is my favorite. Its the rom I have had the best luck with but Tazz's rom's are really good too.

if u like sense roms us gin-sen-tazz

I've been pretty happy with GSB, but it's the only Gingerbread ROM I've tried.
Where is the CS ROM a couple people mentioned? I looked several pages in the dev forum and didn't see it listed.

On page 1. Condemned soul version 19.

Thanks. I figured it was an abbreviation for something, but didn't make the connection.
Flashed AOSP-Gin-Tazz last night and am happy so far. Will give Condemned Soul a try next.

I've tried evervolve, CondemnedSoul, and GSB and they all have their quirks. All run really good though and the devs are very responsive. My favorite though is GSB. I've ran every version since 3.2 and I always come back to it. It's the most responsive and most stable for me.

Please help me decide before I go crazy

I have been at this for weeks now. I rooted my droid eris and love that I did, but for the life of me I cannot decide on which rom to use and stick with. I have tried nonsensikal, kaos, tazz, and celb. I just want one where I will have great battery life. I was wondering if I can get some advice on which ones you all think are the best. I know kaos is the most popular or so it seems. I keep going back and forth on this as I type I am flashing nonsensikal 9.0 and probably will switch again later unless I get advice.
Thank you for any help.
I use KaosFroyo, but I've tried out several and like most of them. You really won't find a bad ROM here; it's more of a personal preference...the way it looks and feels to you.
Keep an eye on KaosLegendary as it progresses. If you like sense, that one's going to be badass.
Since all of the ROMS you mentioned are built from CyanogenMod source, they will likely all have similar battery life... I'm not sure anyone can tell you one ROM is better than another, but I can give you my opinion- I have had the best experience with CELB's flavor of Froyo.
+1 for Celeb.
Not that the others are bad, all of them are great. Celeb seems to run a bit smoother.
That said keep an eye on Kaos-Legendary I think it will be great once some of the kinks are worked out.
I am like you.
I started out with Kaoys
I think went to Tazz
I am now on Nonsenikal.
I moved from Kaoys after I saw somethings that Tazz was doing but I started not to like the red keyboard with some of those releases and I didn't get into flashing a new keyboard which took me back to Kaoys........but then i found Nonsensikal at 8.2 and then 8.8 and now 9 and I am stuck with them for now.
I have the latest Tazz and Latest Kaoys on my phone just in case. I also have the Flashback 15 V1 just in case I need to take back to verizon for some odd reason and that works too
As has been stated, it's hard to tell you which is the best for you. You've tried them, you are the one who needs to decide. I like Kaos ROM it's been stable, many updates, many users, which helps when you have a question. It also is the first one i tried back on version 17.
They are all good, for sure. You just have to try them all bro, you can always switch... right? lmao
But, I suggest Tazz or Celb only because I really like those guys personally
Make it easy on yourself. Use the rock solid 2.1 XTR (with or without sense) from Zach as your default rom. When you are bored and wanna play, rotate among the Froyo roms. If there was a benchmark for Eris roms, I think XTR wins the prize. The Froyo roms are progressing nicely, but none of them have achieved benchmark status. (yet)
So adopt the best and play with the rest

If you mean quadrant score, XTR actually gets lower because its a 2.1 rom. But those mean nothing on the Eris, so yes XTR is the best way to go. I recommend doing XTRSense because it comes with XTRom and you can always download LauncherPro or something, flash openGL. and there ya go, both roms in one
If you are looking for froyo sensless rom i would definitely go with shadowrom. if you want sense based 2.1 than XTRsense. As far as quadrant scores i had highest with shadowrom.
I'm still running evil eris 3.0 and probably will upgrade to evil eris 4.0. personally i like evil eris the most out of any of the roms. i have apps2sd and over clocked at 768mhz with out any issues. hasn't given me one problem yet and by far one rom that has zero problems. Every other rom i've tried has some sort of issue. with froyo rom's it's ether the speaker jack not working or some odd issue which sucks. i hate if something doesn't work right so that's why i'm still running evil eris 3.0.
Thank you for all the suggestions so far. I went back to tazz 12 the pink theme because I liked how it was more girly since I am a girl. However I should of mentioned I wanted to be able to make whichever rom I chose more personal and the only changes I could see that you can make on any of them so far is the color of the clock and battery percentage. If there is more I can customize please let me know.
Another question I had was there was one theme I fell in love with but I dont know how to put it put it on my eris since it was made for regular droid. Is there any advice about doing that?
Thank you for any help. Im still really new to this.
Evil Eris is a dead project as far as I know. There's a cyborg rom that's very stable since it's based of the latest ruu.
As for froyo I'm a fan of Kaos or Tazz ROMs. I also huge fan of the built in tether and apps2sd in froyo.

I have tried NonSensikal, Tazz, and CELB. And to be honest, they are all very similar. I swore by NonSensikal when I started then tried out Tazz because of an issue I was having with my phone. Then I can't even remember why but I decided to try CELB 2.9 and it was great too. I've switch off of it for a couple days back to NonSensikal 8.8 but was having email issues and went back. To be honest I love the fact that I can switch ROMs as much as I want. I like to tinker and try new things. I've even flashed Kaos Legendary and it definitely going to be one I keep an eye on. All I'm saying is experiment if you want and enjoy. If not just flash one and stick with it. I've had no problems on CELB 3.0.
+1 xtrsense or xtrrom!
I know there's a theming app but I never used it si can't remember the name. I pretty much stick to the way a rom comes except for boot animation and keyboard.
Sent from my xtrROM Eris using XDA App
TaintedTenzo works the best for me
I have been on NonSensikal for a few updates now and it is pretty stable. I honestly can't tell you that it is any better than the others. Kaos, Conap, Tazz, and Listy are all awesome developers and most (or all) seem to openly share ideas and bug fixes. It's all about your personal preference.
As far as battery life goes, ever thought of just getting more batteries? I bought two extras with an external battery charger off of ebay for pretty cheap. I keep my setcpu profiles set higher than most to get the best performance and change the battery whenever it gets low. Now, if I was a girl, this would be even more convenient seeing as most of you carry purses with everything but the kitchen sink in them anyway.
As far as themes go, check the apps and theme section of XDA. Even if a theme was made for a particular Froyo rom, it SHOULD work on all of them. Make a nandroid and morph or flash away.

[Q] (HTC Droid Eris) Most stable ROM in your opinion

I am currently running kaosfroyo-v36, and its pretty good. I am fairly new to rooting my droid, ive only tried out 2 roms so far and both were fairly good. I understand how rooting works, not quite sure if i get how the kernel works or how to add it to my phone. To get back to my question, What rom do you feel is the most stable rom out thats still speedy?
Thanks!
stability id go with froshedyo
and for speed id go with Dual rom
Thanks for your your input!
IMHO, xtrSENSE and xtrROM are the most stable ROMs out there that I've tried. Everything just works, of course, they're 2.1-based so it doesn't include Froyo features or CM-specific enhancements to Froyo.
I wish I could have the best of both worlds. No offense to anyone. I'm currently using CELBFroyo.
I would definitely go with CELB =) Fast, Stable.
FroShedYo is working Very good for me, upped to version 8. It has decent speed, a great built in CPU monitor and all the goodness of Cyanogen. It is very stable, no crashes in the month or so I have stuck with it. Typical dropped call that isn't really dropped, but it picks back up and does a good job.
I agree on xtrROM. It's super fast and extremely stable. Of course, it's 2.1. I'm on CELBFroyo, and after a week there haven't been any hiccups. It's got nice speed and CPUBoost is a nice addition.
I've also used NonSenSIKal which is pretty solid.
for the most part, its really personal preference. Give some ROMs a test run and see how they work out for you. I've always been switching up ROMs, but I've stuck with CELBfroyo for about a month now, and its running very well for me.
p.s. dont forget to nandroid before you start flashing
Can't tell you why but I've tried quite a few including FroShedYo and CELB but Floyo Tazz has been the fastest/smoothest for me.
Tazz Froyo
I have tried alot of Roms and Tazz Froyo has been my favorite, it has conaps new kernel which helps with battery life and lagging on the phone, built in cpu governors( no need for SetCPU) Gingerbread keyboard, which is very responsive and has a excellent predictive text function, MIUI music which is a updated stock music app, you can make phone calls and send texts from the lockscreen, no complaints at all with the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733897
Nonsensikal is my daily ROM but I have used froshedyo's V6 through V8 as an alt from time to time because it is easy to theme. Both are very stable solid ROMs you'll be happy with either one.
Thanks to everyone who replied! I am now using froshedyo v8 and its pretty quick and i like the fact that it has cayanogen with it.Very cusomizable and fairly quick! Once again thanks to all posters!

Woo Hoo!
workshed, your rom rocks! igot a couple questions about modifying some things.. Themes, icons, wallpaper, fonts, boot image, etc. Where should i post?
Workshed can correct me if I'm wrong but his Rom is very similar to tazzs roms, with floyo being a port from a hero Rom and tazz froyo being allot like sheds Rom. All eris' are different so run what your phone likes the most. Mine likes tazz froyo more than floyo and I haven't had the time to try sheds Rom but I know he did a great job on it.

I concur ... i tried a couple others before i settled on CELB ... fast, stable, efficient, plays well with other custom apps... also cleared up space.
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
My vote is for CELB, i've used EE and sensable and i have found CELB to be the fastest and most bug free. If i've ever had a problem conap has either already commented about it in his thread or he or someone else direct me to the solution. Not knocking anyone else, just my personal experience.
I'm a big fan of KaosFroyo.. I do always flash the latest CFS kernel over it though. I have tried 4 or 5 other roms as well, but always come back to kaos
i've ran evil eris 3.0 for a really long time. i loved that rom and now i've been on v37 for the past couple months. v37 of kaosfroyo rom but starting to get bored of it and want more speed. maybe i'll just end up getting a new phone soon.

GSB v 2.x or Ginger Tazz xx???

Can anyone here the boards give me some feedback of their experience with either ROM?
I would love to know because I wanna run GB on my lil ol eris and cant decide whether I want vanilla or a tweaked version.
Much thanks in advance, Jeff
GSB for me
Ever since I first put GSB on my phone (can't remember which version) I haven't moved to anything else. I really love it. I have also been wondering what the differences between GSB and Ginger Tazz are, though...so if anyone has used both - which do you prefer?
I started right with GSB from 2.1. I haven't tried any other roms but in a day ive seen 3 updates. Its nice to have solid support.
Id be interested to see side by side metrics. Id love to see a ginger sense ROM
Sent from my Eris ADR6200 using XDA App
ive ran both. each are great roms. i settled on gintazz
i great great battery life and my phone is super fast and i havent had one issue
with it since using gintazz.

Is it hard to switch between ROMs or same process? Just data +dalvik and flash
Sent from my Eris ADR6200 using XDA App
Yup just date/dalvik wipe. Act. I font think I ever rid a dalvik wipe with a data wipe, wont hurt though. I switch between Roms a lot. I like to check everything out

I've used both, but I've been with GSB for the most part and haven't tried a recent version of Ginger-Tazz so I can't really give a review; other people seem to love it just fine.
i switched from GSB to v20 ginger-tazz. i like the simple integration with not too many custom launcher add ones. (adw vs launcher pro)
Love ginger tazz its has great battery life, a great thread with awesome ppl and its fast.

I first had gsb but I tryed Ginger tazz & I like it alot.haven't had any issues.its faster &just runs smoother.

i
i use ginger it has some nice feq
I've ran both and have settled with Ginger Tazz. Its very fast and I like not haveing all the CM stuff. Its also small so you have lots of memory left over. Haha.
But ya. I run that with the stock launcher and overclocked at 710 (maybe 729) and it just goes. Battery life it pretty great to and with the v3 update its supposed to be better than before (some people had issues with battery on v2, i stayed on v1 and did well)
EDIT: I wrote this assuming you were asking about GSB and the AOSP Ginger Tazz. If not sorry. But thats your review for those two.
I JUST flashed the AOSP Gingertazz ROM this morning and so far I love it. So far it is noticeably faster than GSB - probably because some of the bloatware is removed. I'll give it a few days so I can add a bunch of my own bloat and see how it goes.
Though I've really loved all the ROMs I've used so far - can't say enough how appreciative I am for the work the devs have done and continue to do to improve this 'end-of-life' Eris! I don't really even think about my next phone anymore since rooting a few months ago.

I've been running GSB since version 2.0 I think. It's been running very well with very few issues, which I suspect wouldn't be happening if I would follow shed's instructions to wipe data before loading each new release. Today, I decided to give GingerTazz a shot. I tried out the current version 22. GingerTazz seems like a pretty solid ROM, but I missed a few of the bells and whistles of GSB and how snappy GSB is, even with all the stuff I've loaded on it. Both of these guys are top notch in my book, and I will pay attention to which phones they and Kaos use to determine which phone I get next. My recommendation, based on my experience and preferences =GSB.

[Q] Hate to be THAT guy, but..

I need a new ROM and have not been keeping up to date. The only requirements are decent battery life and some kind of wireless tethering. Running BAM REMIX 1.8 and need something 150% stable, what do yall recommend?
I have been using Skyraider 1.3 its been superb
Might want to check out the InfectedROM.
I'm running InfectedROM Eternity, r179. Slick and fast.

If your looking for stability, I haven't used one more stable than BAMF Side Project (non ADR version). It's close to stock, debloated, slightly custom kernel and Sense 2.1
Another vote for SkyRaider. Only applies if you want to stick with Sense though.
Thanks everyone, I personally don't mind Sense. I use a ton of their widgets and like many, have always been pretty fond of the clock. I'll have to look that one up, many thanks.
Skyraider works great except for the occasional call answer bug. All of the sense hybrid roms are having this issue where when you have an incoming call there is no answer button. Happens maybe 25% of the time. So you are force to deny call and then call the person back. Other than that, it is an excellent ROM. Fast and efficient. The battery life is very good with nearly 20 hours of up time.
ShiftS3NS3 1.5 by DroidTh3ory is ROCK SOLID ....
not sure where to find it anymore. Tried the later version (2.x), but it would crash on me. I have never seen a ROM less bug free than SS 1.5 (hell, my wife uses it). I think I get a FC rarely, and I go weeks without rebooting. WIFI tethering works fine (or maybe i downloaded it from the market), i use it all the time.

That is easily fixed with the built in skyraider settings and a build prop edit if you want it to stick after a reboot.

Please enlighten me. So far I've yet to see a confirmed fix for this issue. Happens on BAMF, Gingeritis, Skyraider, and every other sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid ROM what are based on the later firmware builds. If you have the fix, please point me to it.
Thank,

On SkyRaider, you can force it to use the Sense 2.1 answer screen. The issue is in Sense 3.0, which SR uses some pieces of.
It's explained in the 1st post of it's thread at Team Bamf, under the v1.3 section.
I use it... I got the bug a couple of times before I made the fix permanent and it went away 100%. I reflashed 2 days ago to remove a theme and it reverted my change and ... I ran into the bug twice in past two days. Need to fix it again.

It seemed like SR might of been a BAMF build, glad to hear it is, I've always like BAMF.
Can anyone confirm if wired headsets work with that ROM or does HTC still mute the mic, etc? Just posted another question in the general, really surprised this hasn't bothered anyone else..
Thank you. Actually I know about this option in skyraider settings, but from what I've read it, the issue occurs with the 2.1 answer screen as well. I will try it out. Maybe on SkyRaider it really does solve the issue.

The only time I've seen this is when you do not change the build prop. You must change the build prop for the 2.1 answer screen to stick after a reboot. (instructions on how to do this are on the BAMF forum shortly after the 1.3 release) On the Forever ROM they have a 2.1 answer screen that you can flash. It has always worked for me. Gingeritis wants you to install the shake to answer app from the market, instead of fixing the problem in the manner that Team BAMF has. The fixes on the BAMF ROMs have worked for me and I have yet to see the fixes not work. I have read every post in the SkyRaider, Forever, SoaB, threads. I can not vouch for the app working on the Gingeritis as I considered if they didn't fix the problem they didn't care enough. So I dumped the ROM. I did like the ROM but if they didn't care enough to fix it. I didn't care enough to keep it.
Skyraider is my daily driver.cm7 protekk is my backup. Flip back n forth for different reasons.

whats better than bionix as of now?

what do you guys think is better than TW that i should try, miui?
Miui was pretty cool. Visually appealing but for me some apps didnt work and battery life sucked. I am using phiremod 2.0. It's a cm7 that in my opinion apart from bionix is the best rom I've tried I get great battery life and its really fast and reliable. I've been on it for about 3 months

If you want a good quality 2.2, check out Toxic8 or Deranged9. Both excellent ROMs with great support and outstanding battery life.
If you want the latest then ICS Passion is where it is at but make sure you are comfortable flashing ROMs, Odin and bootloaders. Oh and read, read, read.
I've been using ics passion 10.6 its great! no rom gives good battery life for me but this isn't any worse than stock 2.2 battery life
I am new to this stuff, but I flashed Zendroid a few days ago and love it. Super solid, no glitches at all yet. I have 25% battery right now after a full day's use and that never happened on stock. I love it, super clean, super smooth. I can't speak to "better" than bionix as I haven't tried that ROM yet. Just know that Zendroid is awesome.
I was on bionix 1.3.1 and was hesitant to try ics passion but the rom is smoother than I ever imagined.
Ok so I was looking at ics, and there's a ton where can get the best rom and kernels or is there a good site I can read about it?

Just look for the "ICS Passion v11" thread in the Development sub-forum. I recommend the stock kernel, only because it lags for me if I use Eugene's. Results may vary though, so you should try both and see which works best for you.
Sent through the XDA App on my Samsung Vibrant running ICS Passion v10.6
I think it really depends on the features that you're looking for. Personally, I don't really see the necessity to jump ship to a GB or ICS rom for the Vibrant just yet (if ever). Someone posted a pretty legit list on Fishman's mod noting the differences between Android versions that you should check out to see if updating is worth it for you.
+1 for bionix from me..
ICS Passion v11 is pretty sleek, but since there's no 1080p video recording I may have to revert back to Bionix.
The Vibrant is a better video recorder than my Flip- I'm not sure why they would cripple the video.
360 productions make some great miui roms. I prefer lithium. you could give those a try
I've been using bionix nextgen v2 for a long long time, and it's fantastic but I'd really like to make the jump to a GB rom.
Mainly because I can't stand the fact that my CM7 Nook Color can run apps that my Galaxy S class phone can't.
Only GB ROM I've tried so far was the first stable CM7 version, but no matter what I tried I couldn't get my GPS to work _at all_. Since I actually make use of my GPS on a fairly regular basis I went back to bionix nextgen.
Can anyone recommend GB or ICS roms that have good GPS performance (meaning they don't have that "turn off GPS once and you have to reboot to get it back" issue)? Been browsing through the roms listed in the dev forum, but I'd also like some extremely fresh personal feedback from other users here.
Thanks in advance all.

I've been using bionix nextgen v2 for a long long time, and it's fantastic but I'd really like to make the jump to a GB rom.

Would also like to know whether such ROM (GB with working GPS) exists...
Since my original post above I've switched to ICS Euphoria. It does have the GPS off = reboot to use it problem, but honestly leaving the GPS switched on all the time does not seem to have a serious impact on my battery life vs what I was getting before. In the end I'm fine making that tradeoff in order to be on modern firmware. ICS is _awesome_ and I don't see myself going back.
