oh yeah...checked all of them. I'm glad I started with cm7 from the very beginning. I would of been jumping ROMs all the time. I'm glad to see I'm not missing much with the other ROMs. CM7 is definitely the best ROM hands down...that is until CM9 gets a working camera.

I considered rooting and flashing to a Gingerbread ROM but apparently there are problems with battery life. Battery life is important to me so I will not be going for a Gingerbread ROM.
Which Froyo ROM offers the stock experience? No customization or modifications, just pure stock Google Froyo. I want to make my phone snappier and to get rid of TouchWiz.
Are there bugs with these Froyo ROMs?
None of them. If you want a raw android experience, flash CM7.
We don't have a Google stock Froyo. You only have 2 choices, choose a TW rom or a CM rom.
Try to wait for this weekend we MIGHT have a gingerbread leak according to samfirmware.

Gingerclone is as close to aosp as you can get while still being on 2.2
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Trigger 3.2 or 3.3 beta is the best of the 2.2 ROMs in my opinion, also if you want to go to 2.2.1, Bi-winning V3 is the other recommendation. Both will give you complete and accurate functionality of the phone, in other words everything works just right. Go to Gingerbread or CM7 and while they are nice roms you loose functionality of certain features due to the lack of drivers (gps, accelerometer are the main features you loose).
cm7 is good when it comes to stock 2.3 gingerbread experience bionix 1.3.1 tried to minic it with the themes but its not stock like cm7 is. i was on cm7 now im on the bionix 1.3.1
Heres the ICS launcher from the system dump if any one knows how to port it over to the x2 that would be lovely

Try using Android SS for screen shots. Simple, easy, free, no ads!
Works great for me.
I think I'd want the real ICS, fan made ones are usually not as good

Ill give it a shot (pun intended) when i get home from work later. Im also gonna take a shot at the launcher for u as well. I work for an iphone developer in the process of making the switch to include droid so im learning as much as i can. Any info about phone or tablet it came from or anything u think will help feel free to pm me. Been ripping apart the droid sdks from cupcake to gingerbread for the past 2 weeks at work already and on multiple forums soaking up as much info as i can in my off time. Am already considering posting a rom of my own based off the liberty test build. If i can get the ics launcher workin within a few days ill include it as the stock launcher lol

I really like the titanium look. I always wanted something like this.
Does it have the screen shot option when you hold the power button down like in the stock 2.2.1? Does it have the flashlight widget in the notification bar too??
You can't use this theme on 2.2.1 but there is one just like it called icex for 2.2.1 however it doesn't have this keyboard which I like so I used root explorer to switch the keyboard with this one. And the icex theme has all the pulldown toggles as stock 2.2.1
It also has the screenshot option.

Maybe you remember my theme, Funkenblack. Well I plan on modernizing for the current crop of ROMs. I think I'll start with an MIUI theme, as thats the ROM I currently run, but I also want to make a CM theme and then maybe an Eclipse theme.
My questions are:
1. Is there a specific ROM from above you would like first?
2. What other ROMs, if any, would you like to see a little funk in?
Cm7 please
Make a sexy CM7 theme!

CM7 would be nice. But you're the guy doing the work, so........
CM7 it is then! Luckily I also have a nook with CM7 so I can keep MIUI on my phone while I theme and test. The others should come quickly after I finish CM7 since most the work will be universal and CM themes lack the clutter of non themed items making it much easier to port from.
