Well I recently sold a mytouch 3g to my gf's friend that I rooted in the past (was a friend's phone who I bought from because he needed money) and it currently has CM 5.0.8 installed. She told me today that it has been running really slow lately no matter how many times she reboots and such. I told her I would look into possibly installing a different CFW for her that was more stable. Problem is, there are a ton of options to choose from and I have been out of the G1/MyTouch scene for a while.
Basically, she wants the phone to be stable and pretty quick. She doesn't need a lot of features or stuff that still has bugs to be worked out. I let her know I could unroot it and put 1.6 on there if we couldn't figure something out and she wouldn't be against that. Can anybody recommend a ROM that is very stable and quick besides the stock firmware? Doesn't matter if it's a 1.6, 2.0, etc. version.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Super D 1.11 is a fast/stable as you could go.... CM6 is amazingly fast but it's still in release candidate mode and an android novice might not be able to handle the flaws (if you can find some) in it. CM6 could beat it if it continues in the path in going in...

Yeah, CM was always the way to go for stability when I had my G1 a while back. That's why I threw 5.0.8 on the phone before giving it to her, but she said it's been really slow lately. I don't want to borrow the phone from her or anything to troubleshoot, that's why I'd rather find a known stable ROM and just flash that on there and be good.
I'll download that one and give it a try on her phone, thanks!
I noticed that the SuperD ROM says to have the sd card partitioned, is that a requirement for the ROM or no? Currently the card is not partitioned and if I could avoid doing that, that would be great. I'm going to be doing the flash at work and don't have a way to back up what's on the card already to partition it.
No it's not needed but if you plan on having things like Apps2SD or swap then yes.
Yeah I don't think she needs anything like that. Thanks for the help!
This is a good thread. I just rooted my friends g1 and put CM6 on there. I have been checking to see what the most stable Roms are..
I remember I would eventually start having issues with whatever ROM, so I would go back to a totally stock + rooted 1.6. If my friends doesn't like his CM6 I am going to put stock 1.6 with root access. Add wifi tether and add overclock/ setCPU. For functionality, that is a great way to go if you don't mind the old school look.

If you're going with SuperD (as you should IMHO), I'd use 1.9.3 or 1.7/1.8. The last two had some issues with installing apps - 1.11 in particular would occasionally FC newly installed apps until you ran fix_permissions. Not a deal-breaker, since it seemed stable otherwise but just a pain.

Yeah I installed the 1.11 version today and was not a fan of the launchers included and it started dragging it's feet after about 5 min of messing with it. Does the 1.9.3 have the stock, translucent launcher that you can drag upwards?
giv a try

i find Cy6 to be much faster than Cy5 (fastest rom i've ran since super d) my only issue is random force closes on market.

I find CM6 to definitely be more then decent but hey, to each his own...
All I really want is the fastest, most stable ROM available. Are there better options? It needs to be able to tether, too; I'm using PdaNet right now and it's working flawlessly.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, opinions and advice.
You're using as up-to-date software as thousands and thousands of non-rooted Eris owners. The *core* of the OS, Android 2.1, is current. Sure, you can get Android 2.2 on your phone but it's not really ready for prime-time yet.

Ya, just flash Zanfurs OC kernel if you want to have more accurate settings and you should be good. And by the way, PDAnet lets you tether with any rom, as far as actually tethering without pdanet then the ivan rom should do the trick though I never tried it myself.

I use this configuration EXACTLY.
I also use wifi tethering a lot around the house for my gf's laptop.
I have gone to EVERY popular ROM out there for at least a couple of days. I keep going back to SenseUI if a ROM doesn't have it, and I keep coming back to Ivan's when I get to SenseUI. EvilEris was the second longest ROM I ever had, almost a month. Was finished with Sense crashing, and the De-Odex'd stuff (no room in the /data/ area, phone kept running out of memory, and no I don't like A2SD).
Ivan's and PDANet ftw.
You can try tnoobs it is a stock ROM, a revamp of plainjane. It has the perks and is quick.

- +1 - Tried them all, including the Froyo scene - very buggy! Ivan's is the standard of reliability and reasonable speed. I use PdaNet and Wireless. The only other ROMs that seems to be as stable and add an effective Apps2SD is Fresh 3.0 and XTR-Sense 3.03.
I never tried any custom Rom yet because I don't want to loss data everytime I flash new Rom. anyway, since there is a lot of custom rom available, I m planning to use 1. so I m asking those who already tried it, can u please tell me which one is the fastest? is it faster than 2.1?
The fastest I believe is openfire, at least I think so.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I want to use openfire too. but I got scared since it has warning that it may cause explosion
It won't cause your phone to explode. Just keep the OC under 700.
I thought my phone will turn into time bomb if I flash it with openfire. downloading+flashing in progress
I currently Use my stock ROM from my carrier, only reason being that I like things to be 100%, its the obsessive compulsive in me.
With that being said, I have done EXTENSIVE tests on;
-OpenFire v1.8 , 2.0 and 2.1
-WildPuzzle 8.0.8, 8.0.10, 8.0.11 BETA, 8.0.11
Within each one, I have Linpack tested at each stage of installing OC Kernels and Various Speed settings witihin the SetCPU app. I have found that with normal things running (NO task killers) BOTH are fairly even, with AVERAGE figures of 2.4 - 3.2 MFLOPS. If you set each rom up for speed (disable animations, WiFi, GPS etc etc) I have found OpenFire to be far superior in the speed department.
Granted this is PURELY BASED ON MY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE.....
The best advice, play around, hack, crack and generally mess around till you find a ROM that works FOR YOU
-Josh
Openfire is fatest atm with linpacks of around 5mflops, wildpuzzle is slower because it does not YET have jit enabled.

Yep, you should try OpenFire, is the best if you want speed.
Why worry about losing data? Just nand backup. Also you can back up sms thru an app on the market, and backup contacts to SD thru sense (at least, the version of sense on Evo let's you). I don't really see what there is to lose.

err..I thought installing custom rom will wipe out my data. I tried to flash yesterday but then I want to wait for cynogen mod. It supposed to be released today?
Tomorrow...
Hope it will be better then the two that we have actually...
WildPuzzel is pretty bugg'd and even OpenFire... Actually i'm using the original one w/o Htc Sense. I really want to see an overclock for the original one, it's just awesome.
Hi guys,
I have had my HD for a while now, and have been going back and forth with different roms and what not.
I settled for a Leeddroid HD Gingerbread Beta 4 rom (which works well).
And then I tried the RCmixHD rom (the most complete one as it says)
But I have a problem... when I use the RCmixHD rom, I keep losing signal...
why is that? any clues?
I strongly believe you have a radio issue. Try flashing the recommended radio of the rom. You can find out more in that thread
Yupp.. Different roms recommend different radios.. I experience that too..
Use Leedroid HD 3.0.0
Very nice!
jerrylzy +1.
Just flashed it and it's awesome, also flashed MDJ v6 kernel as Lee recommended, no lags or bugs for me now.
P.S. Never had lost signal issues with RcMix... Try re-flash radio.
Considering that the latest RCMixHD requires the radio found in the 2.16 generic gingerbread rom (or higher radio) that is probably the cause of the issues you're experiencing.
I've used all the major roms, but I found RCMixHD to be the best, but then I put together my own rom, with a lot of items borrowed from the RcMixHD, and CoreDroid, but changed a bunch of things and cleaned up the build.prop and code found in a few other files. nothing too major just a bit cleaner . There was a lot of unneccessary repetition in the build.prop's of the other roms.
JSLDr0iD 4G v1.01 ( driphter.com/index.php?topic=3884.0 )
This is mainly for the North American DHD (Telus DHD/AT&T Inspire 4G and hsupa is enabled) but it works for the euro/asian dhd's as well
The main version is OC's with MDJ V series kernel, but there is a verison with the stock kernel available.
Download is hosted on our server (Driphter.com) and is a fast download as well.
Sorry, but I cant post a direct link until my 8th reply (kinda lame but I guess its tp prevent bots from spamming the forum), so you're going to have to copy and paste into the address bar.
I just flashes the Leedroid 3.0 and I am fully stisfied. I have no signal issues whatsoever. Additionally, i put in the Sense 3.0 lockscreen (unfortunately I'm still not able to customize it or to find out if it is possible ^^)
I was ob Revolution HHD Beta 4 Gingersense before, wich was awesome too. Then I switched to leedroid. 2.3. for overclocking.
would like to know something about this aswell
using the latest leedroid, but I just saw the RCMixHD 6, should I change? Can't be bothered to flash unless it's worth it ha.

The latest batch of RCMixHD v6 has quite a few issues (caused by the sense 3.0 items), mail doesnt work, scene picker doesnt download new scenes properly, and 'skins' does not function at all.
you may want to hold off until the issues (which is more than just the 3 listed) are fixed.

Mail works just fine for me now, version 6.1.0.1
What would you recommend for RCmix? As i'm getting some pretty poor mobile data and GPS signals, wifi is fine, never use bt, but the MD and GPS are pants on my current radio which was superb on the 5.9.7 rom from RCMix.
Any ideas? Oh and to the original question about rc mix or leedroid, it all depends on what you want, personally i prefer rcmix, i've used them since i had a hero when it first came out, they're a good team and make great roms, but to be honest most of the devs on xda and villain are good eggs so like i said it's all down to you and what you want.
Rcmix seems to be more bleeding edge while leedroid is more stable.
In fact the only issue I've encountered with leedroid is stocks app crashing but I usually remove that app anyway.
Sent from my Gingerbread loaded Desire HD.
well using leedroid you do get rcmix crt and things, even it is not credited properly
But the lack of sense 3.0 stuff in leedroid does make it more stable. For people that need their phones to be stable and dont have the time to flash a new rom every day or two.
Capy, even though I love the RCMixHD Rom with where its headed, its something that I can put on the backburner, in regards to use. Even Leedroid has issues that needs to be fixed, there's just not as many at the moment.
I'm still using the stock 2.36, rooted with gingerbreak, as I continue work on my ROM based on it. Did you get my pm regarding the build.prop?
well i am redoing the whole rom, trying to make it different, but i dont know i am getting a bit sick of alot of requests from peopel to do their work so they can release things, and many doesn't credit, and roms popping up all over, so kinda feel maybe it is time for new device dunno yet

Well, I'm simply working on cleaning up htc's code, I dont want to add anything as of yet, other than keeping the power screen from your Rom (that functionality is too much of necessity which I'm surprised isn't part of the official builds). Though progress is slow as I'm finalising v5.1's of my blackberry hybrids. Cheers capy.
well right now i am working on a pure clean port of kingdom instead
I'm pretty sure you could use items from Rider as well

Maybe you need to use the recommended radio specifically for each rom, they might be different ?
Whats the best rom to put on mytouch 3g for my fiancee, any input is helpful..
all I have to do is flash a sapp.sbf??

its sapp.nbh, but that's for "un-rooting" your MT3G.
"Best" is pretty subjective. I am constantly changing mine around, but the ones I have like most are:
1.6 Donut ROM: SUPER D
2.2 Froyo ROM: TheOfficial D/S (had this on my phone for maybe 2 months without issue)
2.3 Gingerbread ROM: I am currently using GingerYoshi 1.1, and just downloaded 1.2 so can't comment yet. with 1.1, I noticed these problems: GPS sometimes doesn't connect..at all. i have to go into google maps first if i want my location to show up...if i go into google navigation first, i have to leave that app and go to maps then into nav. Also...the damn ROM doesnt give you voice to text like the others do. It says "This device doesnt support this feature" when the 2.2/Froyo roms do.
All in all...if she doesnt like to tinker with her phone and she just wants it to work, I would use TheOfficial D/S from enomther. It's Froyo, but EVERYTHING just works...and it works well.
hopefully that helps.
I have had a mytouch 3g since 2009 when it came out and have used it since earlier this year when I bought a nexus one second hand for very cheap. Here's what I think...
1.6 - Donut. Super D. Definitely the best Donut Rom. I like the newer versions but this ROM was definitely fast.
2.2 - Froyo. Official AOSP. I used this for about a year or more with minimal issues. It did everything I wanted with occasional lag (but that was just me putting too many widgets =P)
2.3 - Gingerbread. I had Gingeryoshi 1.1 for awhile with some issues. The GPS messes up sometimes in that the screen went "fuzzy" but all I had to do was restart it. You have to get Ghostly SMS so you receive all text messages since gingerbread on a low memory device has issues receiving text messages. Battery life was better in my opinion. I upgraded to 1.2 shortly before I bought my N1.
As you can see my answer is very similar to the previous post which says a lot about those three ROMS.
I never had much success with the CM roms on the mt3g. It seems to lag way too much even with Auto Memory Manager and other apps just like it. I liked gingeryoshi the best... once you get over some of the bugs you come to realize it's gingerbread on the mytouch 3g which is freakin cool! My mom uses my old mt now with gingeryoshi 1.2 and loves it.
