Evervolv has been very smooth, lightweight, and reliable for me.
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 altho no longer updated.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 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

I currently have FroydVillain 1.7.2 rom on my phone.
I want to try something else because I had some problems with it.
Sometimes the phone is laggy, the messages load time is really slow, sometimes I don't get call and can't make them( ex: someone call me and it does the same thing as if my phone was closed), youtube problems and many other things.
Still there is some things I like about it, the quality of the camera(not really the interface), the easy user interface ( don't really like that half circle in other version), and other things.
So for a guy like me, who dosen't use his phone to play with it or you know, mess with the cpu (and other things like that) what other rom would you advise me.
(I would still like to have something with Android version 2.2.1 or newer, don't know the difference between each but I don't want to have less options or I don't know what)
Thanks.
+ The battery die fast.
In my opinion floyo 1.2 is the best 2.2 rom. no matter what i flash i always end up coming back to it.
I'm using Elelinux's latest Hero ROM, which is very smooth and stable so far. Also, since it's based on CM7 (Android 2.3), you can theme the hell out of it if you like.
Compared to the FroydVillains I've used in the past it maybe isn't quite as fast, but the difference is minimal. Although if you really need some speed, this 2.2-based rom is probably the way to go.
Try some of the latest Gingerbread ROMs. Very smooth and good battery life. If you absolutely must have Froyo, you're not going to find much that improves on what you've already got.
Sent from my Hero using XDA Premium App
Cronos is another good Gingerbread ROM as well.
my choice:
2.1 : Sense rom for sure, elelinux's repack is good
2.2 : floyo 1.2, really great!
2.3 : elelinux's one, but with andriod 2.3.2 or before
going to try out the new android 2.3 with sense! hope i will stick on it after
you could try out the wildfire port of gingerbread with sense 2.1. its really cool and quite smooth!
Nothing better than nightly CyanogenMod 7.1! No more invisible menus and it is fast loading ^^

One reason that held me from flashing a custom ROM is that i use the camera a lot.
Should i upgrade to a 2.2??

You could always just try a 2.2 rom or two. If you dont like them, you can always go back to stock. You will get different opinions from everyone, so its best to experiment yourself.

Yea there are a few select 2.2 ROMs which have a fully functional camera. And like Patchy said you could always flash back if you aren't satisfied. I was a little hesitant at first to flash ROMs, but now I'm a flash junky =)

I disagree. Wolfs cam might be fine but stock is definetly better, no question.
As far as speed, im on 2.1 and have been for a while now, with my own mods and cleanup there is absolutely no lag, and i find it just as fast and smooth as 2.2 roms right now. However, i dont play games, so there could be a difference there. Everything else tho, not much different.

Have you added these lines to your build.prop?

First one makes scrolling smoother, 2nd helps with graphics (especially gradients, etc.) a bit
Installing an AOSP-looking theme shouldn't mess with your contacts if that's what you want...
I've been using a 2.2 rom since z started developing his free x10, but to be honest it's only because I can... once you root your phone it's a natural step. The major plus is ability to use flash

Thanks im going to add that!
No i meant like deleting all the bloatware.
Ive used just about every 2.2 rom available and my biggest concern was the camera, on 2.1 it worked nicely and I hadnt modded it. To be honest, I like the camera on wolfbreaks the best I think it takes great pictures and more consistant than my 2.1 was, almost no audio lag in the camcorder. Im currently using the pzafroyo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033455 rom and its the best 2.2 IMO wolfbreaks a close second, everything works great, and it has the best camcorder near zero lag (need to change the heap size from 40 to 32 seems to help). To answer your question, IMO 2.2 is worth having for the speed, flash player, additional options, and of course theres some sweet 2.2 roms to choose from . Though my 2.1 is still silky smooth and works great too, benchmark 842, pzafroyo benchmark 2595 both feel smooth.
Upgrading to 2.2 will give you:
- speed boost
- more apps, for ex. Flash player
Rooting the phone also gives me the chance to try any custom rom... so I never get tired of the interface.
This is my opinion... you don't know what it tastes like until you try it.

Been using various 2.2.1 Custom ROM. Of those I like Wolfbreak 6.1.3 v64 the most. Since moving back to 2.1, I use the custom rom EWJET which in my opinion the best. At least I am more confident with the camera. The autofocus dont work with 2.2.1, hence I moved back to 2.1.
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!

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.

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.

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
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
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 like eclipse, I do not like the new atrix one, plus it does not have hdmi mirroring.

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.

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.

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

This one is a little different though. I am on a MIUI ROM, and have been for many months. Next month the Galaxy II is coming out for t-mobile, and I will be upgrading. And that means my wife gets the vibrant. Which means this phone "just has to work". As much as I love MIUI and cyanogen, being at the tip of the spear means having to put up with some things that just don't work like they are supposed to. Like GPS and battery life to name two. Stock would be an option, but if I recall, stock sucked on battery life AND GPS, correct?
So, what is the best ROM nowadays for stability (including GPS) and battery life? It has been so long that I have had a froyo ROM on my phone that I really don't know who is at the top now.
Oh, and by "best ROM", I should have said "best ROM & kernel combination".
the Bionix ROMs are pretty stable for the most part (though they're not really supported on xda anymore). http://sourceforge.net/projects/bionix-v/files/
I suggest trying ZenDroid. It's one of the very few froyo roms still updated and supported. Has all the newest build.prop tweaks, gps works perfect for me, has great battery life, and it's as stable as they come.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079517
EDIT: Ah yes, forgot about the DMZ kernel. Thanks to Mdtolic below for bringing that up. I have to agree with him about the ZenDroid/DMZ kernel combo.
Sent from my ZenDroid using XDA Premium App
I've been on MIUI for a week or so now, and GPS has worked perfectly on several trips around the area. In fact, it's working better than when I was using a Froyo ROM. Battery life is still good as long as you do a reasonable undervolt and use Titanium Backup to freeze useless battery hogging software (Gallery, replaced with Quickpic, Maps if you don't use navigation, etc)
Still, if you want rock solid stable with great battery life, try Toxic8 with KB5 modem and Bali X 1.2 kernel. Once you set everything up for her along with a theme she likes, you'll never have to tweak it again.
Be warned though. As far as smoothness is concerned, nothing compares to MIUI. At least in my experience.
Jcc's toxic roms are awesome. Everything works as it should and he has a new rom(deranged 9) cookin now!
Sent from xda premium using ToXiC 8
I have come to learn that "the best" ROM/Kernel combo for one phone, may not be the best combo for any other phone.
For me, ZenDroid is perfect. To get the best battery life I use the SuperDragonModz kernel. ZenDroid comes with Bali UC and I think that works great for most folks.
ZD has an AOSP theme too; in case your wife would prefer a "clean" Android look.
That Ultimate 2.2.1 rom is fairly awesome. It is smooth, fast and good looking. Works perfectly with the ffc mod. Has decent battery life and the GPS will connect in mere seconds (9 of 11 birds, 20 ft after about a minute or two). Keep in mind I did the hardware fix posted here. It is my top choice going back to froyo coming from a variety of gb roms.

Project-V with Bali-X 1.2
By far the best 2.2 ROM I've used!
