I've been an eclipse fanboy since the first roms were posted. I'm thinking of trying the atrix port.
Has anyone tried both nitro's eclipse and navenedrob's atrix port? How do they compare in speed/battery life/etc..?

2.3.4 is neat because we don't have it on our phones yet, but its just 2.3.3 with some slight improvements. I flashed it for like 5 minutes and went back to eclipse. I mean this in the most respectful way to naven, I am glad he is doing the ports. I just really like eclipse
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I've used ecplipse from the beginning but i recently went over to the atrix port just because its the latest version of android. I really liked eclipse because a lot of the blur elements from motorola are removed. but i also like the atrix version just because, like i said, its the latest version from google.
I'd say give both a try. just make 2 separate nandroid backups so u can swap between the 2 if u dont like one or the other.
Both have flaws
This is just my opinion but eclipse has issues with media playback, especially music. I had run the stock rooted gb from p3 and the music played fine if u played it from internal storage, and then fine from the sd card after I baught a class 10 adata card online. With eclipse though it didn't matter, the music skipped and popped like crazy no matter what I did, and I ALWAYS do clean installs with wipes of the big 3. The atrix port of stock 2.3.4 plays music perfectly, but the camera has issues with video mode and the system is laggy compared to eclipse all over. I even debloated it with tibu but it was still slower. That being said, there are some cool animation effects on the atrix port and it had the drop down toggle widgets, but the lag is killing it when u use certain apps that require performance. The bistro capture on both is horrible for some reason. Stock rooted gb from p3 had a great working video capture in 720p hd, but these two roms break it somehow. I know there were problems with navan's scripts affecting media playback so they might affect video capture too. And I'm not dissing him at all, he has done great work.... Again these are my opinions based on my experience with each rom.
I wasn't sure I wanted to leave eclipse rom to go to this ATRIX port but im not regretting it this port is nuts im having way better battery on the ATRIX rom then eclipse rom

I am having better battery life with Atrix as well. Also my 3g speeds are faster but the signal is not as strong in every area as it was on Eclipse. Music is not skipping with Atrix but the voice commands do not work. I am running ADW on both so operating speed is the same.
I have used every version of eclipse and I've tried to switch to Atrix 3 different times but nothing beats Nitro's blurless ROM for me. It's fast and makes you realize how much blur sucks in every form.
The Atrix ROM is very good and if it weren't for blurless, I'd use it for sure.

See i like blur its not bad but the Atirx rom is a really bugged down blur it doesn't have everything like the stock 2.3.3 has which is nice
Never tried an Atrix port and never will. Obviously im not answering your question but I AM throwing my 2 cents in.
Nitro has been banging it out since the beginning. Working his ass off withing the limitations he is provided and he is giving us X2 users the best experience possible that google allows him for X2 software. Im willing to bet that if they give us 2.3.4 then Nitro will be all over it.
I also happen to like Eclipse.
But, for the above mentioned reasons.. I will use Eclipse until this phone dies of old age or meets its unexpected doom.
For me there was things I liked and things I didn't about the ATRIX rom...
Eclipse definitely runs faster and I like the blur-less-ness of it but the ATRIX rom has better battery life and allows 4 touch events at once... so far I haven't decided which one I like better but they are both really good!

I believe I read somewhere that the number of multitouch points can be configured in a file somewhere. Thread
I like eclipse, I do not like the new atrix one, plus it does not have hdmi mirroring.
I found that the atrix one slows my phone a bit, and Eclipse rom is very fast.
I didn't like it. Too much of AT&T is implemented into the ROM. Some essential Android apps.aren't automatically put in.

Better than all the bloat we end up with by default. The first thing I noticed was that there was virtually no bloat. I'm really digging this atrix port with red ice cream theme. It's got great batt life and stability, and is totally blazing.

The reason eclipse drains the battery faster is the second core never turning off it constantly runs and the cpu tweaks that are included by default.

After flashing 0.6 eclipse and seeing how much it was like stock I decided to give ATRIX port another shot. After getting it themed red (nice work muff) and set up its pretty nice. I still like 0.5 best but I like ATRIX more than 0.6 all are great pieces of work

I was running on P3s stock rooted Gingerbread until 4 days ago. Honestly, I think my favorite was the stock GB debloated. I am on Eclipse now, and don't get me wrong it is awesome. It is the fastest I have tried so far, and I love the "pure" android feel to it. I also do not get music pops/skips, and I did not on the rooted GB either, must be one of the lucky ones. Now I can say this as well, my battery life has been the best on Eclipse v.05. I am on 1 day and 10 hours on a single charge. I charged my battery to full, then wiped the phone and battery stats then flashed Eclipse and am getting great results. So far, my only complaint is I cannot get the music player to show up on the lockscreen as it did with stock GB rooted and Atrix port. Not a huge deal at all, just something I noticed.

not true last night i was messing around with the scripts and found out a few things.
1) the kernel doesnt care what speed you tell it to run at. it just ignores and runs between 1ghz and 216mhz
2) with out the scripts it still disables the 2nd core when it isnt used
theres a 3rd but i forget it
My second core was constantly enabled according to systempanel

Hello,
I have a few questions and I really need your help
I am in love with all Motorola phones with BLUR, like the DEFY, Milestone 2, Droid X...
And I searched like crazy for a Blur-like launcher. I found HElauncher which is a new launcher in the market and it is amazing (you can select the dock style you want)...
But it doen't feel the same and landscape mode doesn't work
But what I really like of BLUR is the widgets and toggle widgets from it. My question is...
Is there any way to port the BLUR launcher and widgets? Is there any launcher or widgets that look like Blur?
That's the only thing I don't like of this phone. Its launcher is not good at all and there are no cool widgets like in Blur. The korean froyo has some pretty calendar and contact widgets which are scrollable, but I would really love blur.
Please help me
Thanks in advance...
112 views and no one knows?
I NEED blur, please
that's probably because people might have no access to it yet, or according to people that have moto phones with build in Blur it runs really really slow, and they want to get rid of it to use stock Android
Dexter told me he could do it when he gets the phone
He has done an AMAZING Blur rom for the Milestone, which works almost 100% good.

Indeed. Well actually, Blur runs great on phone with good memory, but with approx 80 MB RAM on the XT720, it would be really slow. Unless the rom would be downsized like for example Cynanogen or Oxygen, but that would require a custom kernel and that is not possible atm.
blur for the xt720
I am 99% sure if you go to the developement section there is a patch to install blur on the xt720, developed by dexter.
I havent tried it but I have heard that it makes the phone slow and kills the battery

That's not true. The phone isn't slow and battery life isn't worse then on normal 2.2.1 and 2.1 on the XT720
In fact, it makes some things faster... 2.2.1 gives you JIT = massive speedup on stuff. Just look at quadrant 2.1 versus 2.2.1 XT720.
You idle at higher RAM usage with 2.2.1 though.
this question is useless now that we got a blur rom, lol.
But sadly I may be selling the phone to buy a DEFY :/
So now that the GB ROMs seem to be in full swing.....
What are the pros and cons vs Froyo?
Well, I went from Froyo to GB and for me:
Much faster and smoother
Almost no lag, you would think it was a 1Ghz phone
WIFI and GPS locks on almost instantly and does not drop out.
3G data rate is mouch more consistent
I have been waiting patiently for the Thunderbolt, and this rom will make the wait much easier
Thanks to Workshed for an amazing rom.
There is really not a whole lot different, besides looks. The GB keyboard is better. I could really use either one in a pinch, though right now I am using GSB myself.

That's actually not true at all, there are quite a few differences. Workshed's rom uses the latest CM7 nightly (RC1). Tazz's rom uses ADW as the default home launcher, Workshed's uses LauncherPro. Not sure of the numbers but both roms come overclocked at different numbers. Workshed's rom comes with an extra theme (Mau5KANG). There are quite a few differences but my suggestion honestly is to try them both for about 5 days each and see which one you like best ! Hope all this helps.
Its the little things;
Theme Manager has great potential, change themes on the fly
Better memory management. I no longer use autokiller.
App Management in settings, populates fast and is more user friendly. Great for killing stubborn or hung apps without the need for 3rd party app. (Older versions were slow and clunky).
Built in CPU manager clock speed and governor.
Auto bright setting controls seem much improved IMO.
More lockscreen options.
Overall responsiveness improved, providing better user experience.
Active development. More options and improvements still to come.

He asked the pros and cons between Gingerbread and Froyo, not between the two GB ROMs - and that's what my post was answering.
Thanks for the info, any input is appreciated.
My biggest concern is speed.
I have flashed a lot of ROMs over the past year or so. I have found regardless of the ROM when my available memory drops below 50M my phone gets laggy. I started using Go Launcher about a month ago and really like it (running app tab is great). I see apps running in the background that I know I haven't used like facebook, youtube and Pandora. Autokiller does not seem to be doing a good job squashing them. I want Pandora on my phone I just only want it running when I am using it.
Conapp, Tazz, Kaos and Shed have all been great and very responsive to questions or issues with their ROMs
I think it is time to give GB a run.
GB does a great job managing memory and terminating background apps. Never get the slow Downs like I did on 2.1 or 2.2

As part of the upgrade, look into flashing xtrcache2cache, which will free up a lot of memory for data and apps - probably about 30 MB or so. If you do use it, you just have to remember to re-flash it after updating the ROM. So,
- flash GSB
- flash gapps (mandatory, even for no wipe updates)
- flash cache2cache
It's here, and works just fine with GSB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924562
Ok, one more advantage to GB, and this, to me, is a big one, is cursor placement/text selection. It's much better - I actually like it more than iOS's tap/hold/magnifying glass.

Ah! That helps answer a concern of mine wondering how easy it will be to get used to not having a trackball when I do eventually (probably not for a year) upgrade from the Eris. I don't use the trackball a lot, but for fine adjustments to text selections, it certainly has helped.
i am finding GB to be much faster and my battery life seems to be better.

I need to root and then update my wife's Eris to try to make it run a little bit better. I already use CM7 on my Incredible, but I know the Incredible is a much faster and more powerful phone than the Eris.
So I wanted to ask: Of the rooted ROMS here, which runs better on the Eris - Froyo or Gingerbread? (Better being faster and/or more stable)? Based on that, which ROM would y'all recommend for her phone? Again, I am looking for something that is stable, at least as fast as the old 2.1 version she is using (if possible), and allows her to run newer software without issues.
Any help appreciated. I want to get her on an updated ROM ASAP. Thanks!
/Tom
Gingerbread ROMS have always ran a lot better on my phone than froyo. They just seem to be much more smooth and snappier. Shed's GSB 3.5 is probably about as stable a ROM as your gonna find. The only issue is the camera only has 2x zoom and not the full 9x it is capable of. I think that is a CM issue but I'm not sure.

There is no one answer to your question, the Eris is too quirky.... not all run the same ROM the same way. So, play around, there are many good ROMs here; the devs and community are great!

Like others said, you have to figure out what works best for you. I haven't had any good luck with any of the GB roms, but instead I've been using CELB Froyo or the XTR roms (2.1)
my two cents: i have my brother-in-law's old eris (he "upgraded" to an incredible). i've had it for 2 weeks and am running Workshed's GSB 3.5. If he could, my brother-in-law would trade me phones in a heartbeat. it's a trade i wouldn't make.
my wife has my mom's old eris. she hated it (running stock 2.1). i put GSB 3.5 on it yesterday and now she's raving over it. makes her think about not getting an iphone with her next upgrade (and she's a mac person to start with).
no experience with froyo, but i can't say enough about Workshed's work. it's phenomenal

Any of the AOSP roms ran FAR better than a Froyo ever did on mine. Better batter life, faster, etc.
Gingerbread
Ive tested almost all the roms available for eris and I think the gingerbread based roms run a lot faster and smoother than the froyo based roms. My favorite is gin-sen-tazz.
The first custom rom I flashed was KaosFroyo v39. Compared with the stock system, this was a major improvement. Very snappy & responsive, without all the bloatware. After a while though, Kaos stopped updating the rom. I'm not sure why, but things seemed to slow down after a while - the noticeable increase in performance I received from KaosFroyo seemed to decline. Still, an overall solid Froyo rom.
A few weeks back, I loaded GSB v3.5 (Gingerbread) & have been very impressed. Upgraded to v3.6 & haven't looked back since. That rom, combined with Cache2Cache & the v6 Supercharger have made this phone perform better than it ever has for me. I'm holding off on the v3.7 update for now just to see if there's any major bugs/flaws, but I don't expect any - workshed has done a great job!
As others have mentioned, each phone seems to perform differently, but this setup has been tits for me. Thanks to all the developers!!
ginger bread
Gingerbread - Macrom is running the best on mine. I also believe that phones seem to "like" some ROMs more than others, but the Gingerbread ROMs that are out are all great.
I'm like most, I prefer the AOSP gingerbread roms. I would probably try Condemned, MacrRoms, and GSB. I don't like the Sense Roms, but that's just me. GinTazz with sense and gingerbread ran very well, but my preference is LauncherPro.
GSB (GingerShedBread) v3.7 - CM-7.1.0 RC1. Been running this on my mothers phone months and it came back from the dead. Quick, good battery life, and stable. I also ran this on my OG droid and im now running CM7 on my thunderbolt. Try a few different ROMs and see what works best for the user and the phone. good luck
Rick
I had camera issues with GinSenTazz, like it was tracing around the edges of objects. Not that it's Tazz's fault, its just when you throw Sense into the mix, it adds a whole new layer of possible problems you have to resolve.
I like Gin-Sen-Tazz a lot. It's stable, but has a few kinks that are still getting worked out. GSB is my fave though. That has been my main rom since feb. You can't ask for a better rom.

P3Droid had stated their is a rumored 2.3.4 update for both X and X2. That will most likely have the latest "blur". You are right, the performance is quite good, can't really go by quadrant. Most benchmarks come close to Droid 3 anyway and I think that is the best you can do with our chipset and the lack 512 max memory on a stock kernel. Would love to see what having an unlocked bootloader (wishful thinking) and custom kernels can do for performance.
I am impressed with the update. Overall feel is very snappy. Big time improvement.
I left the thunderbolt and came to the X2 and was disappointed until the update. Now I prefer the X2. Quality control on the thunderbolt was lacking severly.
I love the rooted update froyo is just 2 laggy 2.3 is waaaaay better (after you remove all the bloat)
I'd say 2.3.3 and hopefully we will get 2.3.4 soon, AOSP would be awesome, could care less about blur. Some of the benches I did produced results better than the droid 3, and pretty much equal to the photon, if not better in some areas. IMO it's not the hardware that's holding these phones back, it's the software.
I'm very happy with gingerbread, it really doesn't even need to be debloated to run well. I only removed about 12 things just stuff I saw running as a service that I know I don't use/need. Now after killing everything I show 190MB free, 100-140 before killing processes.
It fixed the camcorder too, that was bugging me to no end.

Quadrant and Linpack show impressive numbers but ADW EX, 4D app drawer with Flurry Live wallpaper running is simply not as smooth as the DX1 on 2nd init.
Its kinda sad how carriers and manufacturers screw up good hardware.

Good luck.
only rom that didn't freeze and crash on me was nonsensikal froyo.
everything works pretty smooth. altho no longer updated.
im using GSB v4.0 right now and i might change back cause it locks up 5 times a day.

I have been using various roms over the last 1.5 yrs, and just tried this one lately. I didnt like the other sense roms since I needed at least 2.2 to run my favorite app (google voice search). I didnt notice this as a sense rom til lately, and it works well. Only glitches Ive found are no voice directions in Navigation, and that reloading home screen is slow, about 15 seconds. Im planning on trying Supercharger v6 to speed it up, or maybe an overclocking app to help with that delay. Maybe there is a setting to lock home screen in memory, but havent found it yet.
From my experience, every Eris is different; a ROM may work perfectly fine on one Eris and force close half the time on another. My older sister and I both have Erises and her phone works best with a ROM that my phone crashes every time on.
Still, if you need a starting point, I'd recommend small GSB 4.3 ODEX. It's Gingerbread, but it has some very nice ICS theming.
For some reason, Gingerbread ROMs tend to be more stable than Froyo ROMs. Or maybe that's just the case with my Eris.
Good day.
Please advise rom based on 2.2 or 2.3 which has Sense. Thanks
Exodos sense by Mac is a good 2.3+

I have been using GSB 4.3 and it is solid, fast and reliable. I have had 0 problems with it. My little old Eris has never ran better.

I bought a cheap bad-esn Eris for my 8 yr old son....just to use as a wifi device (kinda like a ipod touch). I've rooted & have tried a few ROMs but Angry Birds is still pretty laggy. It's playable using Adfree but still real laggy.
Is there any ROM (maybe overclocked) that will play Angry Birds and plants vs zombies w/o lag or is it just too weak?
thx....currently running OMGB_desirec-1.2.2
