I've rooted a couple phones and used a few ROMS. I'm having trouble with my DX2 installing Eclipse barebones. It gets hung up with installing the .zip in recovery with trying to install and it wont install. I eventually pull battery and restart. I'm currently running 2.3.4 that I spf'ed and rooted installed CWM and bootstrap. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I would highly recommend the real eclipse versions. If you are wanting to stay on 2.3.4 eclipse 1.3 version from nitro is very stable. If you want to go to 2.3.5 version 2.03 is also very good and stable. No issues on Nitro's version. Also you can get the most current updates on eclipserom.com
The version Ace is playing with barebones is not really a rom it is a nanodroid of his own doing on top of Nitro's eclipse rom.

I am just wanting some feed back on something. I am pretty sure I know the answer but here goes. BTW can not post this to threads in devel section so posting it here.
I installed Grayblur 2.1 on a rooted 1.83 and it was fast, I was very pleased with it, but I did not like the theme, so I did a reinstall, the same install I did to get to a rooted 1.83 for Grayblur and then installed Gingerblur 3.1.
It seems slower to me. I would think it should be the same if not maybe better, anyone else seen slower scrolling in Gingerblur 3.1 vs Grayblur 2.1?
I notice it in the app menu and when pulling down the alert/status bar.
So maybe just a glitch in the install and should wipe and have another go, or is there a real difference between the two?
Personally I do not see a difference in mine from GreyBlur to GingerBlur, but I have read of others saying GreyBlur is smoother/faster. I did a clean install from 4.1.26 sbf flash to 4.1.83 updated, then installed GingerBlur 3.0 and updated to 3.1. Maybe a clean install makes more of a difference than we think it does.
Whats a good 2.3.4 rom that has somewhat good battery life, One that is very fast gets good linepack/Quadrant scores, And lastly a rom in 2.3.4 that is stable.
If anyone could point me towards a Rom like this it would be very much appreciated.
I wouldn't use a 2.3.4 ROM yet, not all the kernels are compatible with it. It could bork WiFi, camera, etc., since the kernel source for 2.3.4 hasn't been released by HTC yet. Also, there isn't much of a difference if you're just gonna be running a custom ROM on it.
Alright thanks for the tip so right now I'm on the stock 2.3.4 rooted ROM I can just convert back to a 2.3.3 ROM without any issues if I'm correct?

I'm using Synergy lastest build, just use subversion and keep up w/ every change and add your own stuff to the apps and take out those you don't want.
Plus the new wifi tether beta5 works so got all my functionality back.
I am running Vegan 5.1 with almost no issues. I want to upgrade to a newer OS but not sure which one I should try. Any suggestions??
My question to you is "Why?". If you're current install on your gTab is stable and it lets you run what you want to run why do you want to "upgrade" to another ROM. If a different ROM will give you something more than what you currently have like maybe let you run a cool video game (Shadowgun) which can't run VEGAn 5.1 then that would be understandable. I was a happy user of VEGAn 5.1.1 for a good part of a year and decided to move to Mountain Laurel 3.1.0 only for the fact that games like Shadowgun will run on it.
So, if that is the case and you feel you will get more out of your gTab by moving to a different ROM then I would suggest you do a full backup via ClockworkMod of your current install so if you choose to revert back to it after you've tried some other ROMs you will be able to do so easily.
Also, it is VERY important for you to figure out what version of the bootloader your gTab is currently running. You can save yourself a lot of wasted time if you figure that out first and then plan your path to a different ROM.
I have some apps that will not run on it. I am not sure if its the OS but I cant even download them from the market. I was hoping another OS would fix that. I also thought the newer versions of OS run faster? I am not sure but I am a newbie to all of this.

Since you like Vegan 5.1 then why not try VeganTAB 7.1, it is very stable.
I ran it using clemsyn's 1.6 kernal and it is fast.

Also the new CM7 7.2 which is also based on Gingerbread is another one I recommend.
I am currently using it. It comes with a 1.4ghz OC kernel already.
BTW to make thing runs better, change the VM stack size to 64M.

There could be a few reasons why an app will not run on your gTab or will not show up in the Market for you. It may be that you are trying to run apps that are for Gingerbread or Honeycomb. It may also be that your LCD density is keeping some of the apps from appearing in the Market.
As for newer OS versions running faster, I've tried about five different ROMs and VEGAn 5.1.1 is by far the fastest (you can overclock it if you want to run at 1.4 ghz or higher with custom kernels). So when I switched ROMs away from VEGAn 5.1.1 it wasn't about speed but rather better video driver support.
On more note, VEGAn Ginger and most other ROMs will take what seems like forever to boot up compared to VEGAn 5.1.1. Keep that in mind if do make the switch so you won't think your gTab is stuck during bootup when trying other ROMs.
I noticed that our current ref threads are terribly out of date, so I decided to create an updated one. I plan to keep updating this, so it should probably be stickied.

Good work ultravioletnanokitty.
<removed because I obviously figured it out>
I'd like to 'clean house' before my next ROM flash and I wonder what's the best way to rid my int and ext sd's of un-necessary crapola. I've copied contents to my pc so I have all my pix, Tibu bkups, clockwork bkups, and items that I need. So can I just delete everything I see on the sd cards now through my PC? or are there files that I need to leave in place for the ROM to flash successfully? I guess what I'm worried about are Root utility apps and files like: Superuser, Busybox, etc. can I just delete all and those neccessary files are safely stored in the hidden system files? I know i can use Google backup for contacts, calender events, etc..
I'd Love to see a guide on "preparing your byte zones for a happy Flash party!" with suggestions and instructions on how to clean out the detritus of uninstalled apps and leftovers from previoius ROMs.
Just as a quick intro, I'm not a total noob, but I'm no expert either. I had an OG Droid that I rooted and had installed several ROMS before upgrading to a Droid Razr. I decided to root this one also and I'm running CM 10.1.3 with JellyBean X kernel, all installed with Safestrap.
I had some issues with my baseband not working properly with CM, so I decided to try to install a clean version of Jelly Bean to see if that helped the problem. The ROM I was going to download required me to install BMM 3.0.4 which I did. Once that was done, I rebooted and lo and behold the phone booted into the original Verizon version of Jelly Bean. At this point I have not installed anything but BMM. Why did this happen? I thought I had done a wipe when I installed CM. Is this because I installed CM into a second slot and now BMM is booting to the original slot? As far as I know, CM is still on the phone somewhere. How can I get back to it? Is it going to be a problem as far as phone performance to have both of them on the system at the same time?
Finally, like everyone else, my goal is to get the best performance out of this phone. I would like to avoid the stock ROM due to all the bloatware. Is the clean JB a good option? Will this fix the baseband problem (poor to no service)? Is there a baseband fix I can use in conjunction with CM?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.
Not sure if you are just looking @ AOSP ROMs, but I've done well with the bionx ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45291834:
Its stock based, haven't had any issues and its different with some Xperia launcher and whatnot. Has a lot of options/tweaks in dashboard app as well..
