Gumbo 2.1
by: gbhil
Ive read alot about them all and gumbo is new but seems like it has has potential of being the best and fastest ROM. But I'm asking everyone else? What have you tried? and Which are you choosing to stay with?
darchs and Flipz are great. Never tried the gumbo one.
YMMV
I tried Flipz & Co 2.1 and it felt kind of heavy. Then I switched to Gbhils and it felt snappier. Havent tried Darchstars but my recommendation is: try them all, use whichever suits your needs.
The best one is the one that most suits you. Functionally all are equally capable, choose the one you like.
have used darchstars AOSP 2.1 for a long time and flashed the new one on the 2nd. but today i flashed the new 2.1 by toast and flipzmod which is definetly nice. BUT seriously there nothing of the same AOSP is a whole different genre then FLIPZ stuff due to the fact that AOSP is like gsm and what FLIPZ is HTC Sense and stuff you definetly need to know what you are wanting before deciding which to go with. I will say flipz 2.1 has bluetooth working all the way threw as to were darchs only has it working for stero bluetooth (music no calls), also flipz and quietcblongs just released a patch u can do with the android sdk and cmd to GET MMS WORKING so at the moment i am using theres cause i like the MMS and BT working until darch fixing that. i will note that darchs is 2.1 AOSP meaning its a beautiful port of NEXUS with all the nice features of that including live wallpapers and nexus launcher.... sooo your decision lol. Also i would comment on GBHILS but i never knew he had one hmm going to central and doing some searching.....
i have tried them all. Right now im liking Gumbo 2.1
Darchs is incredibly fast. no BT phone and no MMS. but you cant slow it down if you tried. my fav by far. no sense but that also means you get alot more resources.
toasts is rough still to me but cant really blame him i mean him and flipz uploaded like 3 hours after leak. it has sense and BT works fine. but still on my little test of roms i play rhapsody over BT and turn to landscape and it stops the music a lil. but still a great looking rom.
downloading gumbos now i will edit when test.
I tried them all.. and GBHIL 2.1a is the fastest so far.. no lag.. and verrrry fast..
I had been running the DarchDroid for the last few days, and had no complaints. It is fast and really stable. I don't use BT & I didn't think I missed Sense. That is until I started playing with Flipz yesterday. I flashed it, and enjoyed having Sense again. Overall it is a surprisingly well-finished ROM. I had a few issues which seemed to be fairly isolated, having to re-enter my Google psswd after every reboot. I also found it to get pretty sluggish at times. I know Sense is partially, if not mostly, to blame. I'm getting ready to give the Gumbo ROM a run. Just my $2/100.
I went from AOSP 2.1 -> DarchDroid -> CDMA Hero Eclair 2.8v2.
So far the Hero Eclair is BY FAR my favorite (full Sense UI for the win), but I'd like to try the Gumbo ROM.
Definitely try the Gumbo.. Its delicious...
Gumbo is incredible. GPS works perfectly on google nav, super quick, no force closes for me.
i agree the gumbo 2.1 is on point very snappy and responsive no forces closures what so ever..i think minus the camera and a couple widgets this is gonna be a very close comparison to the hailed sprint 2.1 update
Tried all three and...
Loaded gbhil's Gumbo 2.1a this morning, and it seems considerably more responsive than Flipz. Still having the annoyance of re-entering my Google pswd after each boot (same with both Sense enabled 2.1 ROMs). My vote is for Gumbo 2.1a if you want Sense. If not DarchDroid is terrific.
I tried them all.. and i think if AOSP 2.1 DarchDroid could sync with the facebook contact like CDMA Hero Eclair 2.8v2 do this ona should be the best
i know i know my english suck
ohh gumbo doesn't let u sync wiyh facebook to
I've flashed them all back to back, created nandoid backups of each, went back and forth for awhile... (Darch, Flipz, Gbhil) and have finally settled with Gbhil's Gumbo rom. Can't beat how quick and responsive it is! I'm sure that Flipz can be just as quick with a more optimized kernel like Gumbo has, as I'm sure Flipz and team are hard at work making magic happen
Flipz rom doesn't have the task-killer tweak enabled. Theres the Autokiller app on the market that will enable the tweak on any 2.0 rom. It speed up things alot.

Oh well for me is great because almost I got all my contact and friend on fb and very easy watch when they updates their pic and status
I unrooted my phone and returned it to stock to send it for replacement after it quit charging.. I hate to say it but 1.5 seems so much smoother than the 2.1 roms i've been using. Hopefully it's just the fact that everything 2.1 is using a test base and not an official release? I know i'll be rooting my replacement and going back to 2.1 when i get it just for the added features, but i was really surprised how well 1.5 ran on my phone. Especially the keyboard... There was no lag and i've been used to lag for a while. Anyone else notice this?
I noticed the same thing. Seems 2.1 is just slower no matter what rom I use. I don't think it is optimized as well as 1.5, but that will probably change once the kernel source is released.

I like Aloysious's roms. They seem pretty petty... Just dont use one that has Live wallpapers, as the openGL ( I think its called ) lags pretty bag.
Huh...maybe that's the issue. It just seems like the ones I've tried seem to lag a lot. I thought that was because 2.1 was larger than 1.5.
I don't think I've tried Aloysious...I'll give it a test drive.

Mostly i've been using Fresh and Damage roms. Recently i switched to Sushi rom with most of the sense crappola stripped out and JIT enabled. It seems the fastest of the three probably because of the lack of a lot of sense components. There are certain things about sense that i really like such as the calender widget and contacts. Also i do like the sense facebook for syncing my contact pictures. Otherwise i don't really care much about sense. The weather clock is cool, but im really into beautiful widgets in conjuction with Weather bug elite widget. Maybe when we get an official release AND the source to the new kernel so the devs can work their magic we'll have a 2.1 rom that REALLY screams.
Also, i gave up on live wallpapers a while back as i really don't like the fix which is actually breaking Opengl to make the live wallpapers stick. If you have Opengl on your phone and don't apply the fix and use a live wallpaper you will see that it is much more fluid. Just won't stick after your phone sleeps. Too bad too cuz i REALLY got a kick out of seeds of life. The perverted side of me really liked watching those little sperm swim around on my home page.
Hi to all.
This post because I've always experienced some lags with any keybord ( IME, Swift, Gingerbread, etc )
After the installation the speed was very high, but after few days there were lags here and there.
Any advice? Is this behaviour common to you too?
Now I'm running Froyd Villain 1.6.2 ...
Thank you
Pich
Many people from what I have read they have this problem with gingerbread, I am one of them..
Beside the fact that our Hero hardware is old, we just need to wait until a better and stable release will be available..
Thank you for your answer.
Yer Our hardware is old ... :-(
Anyway I have a Froyo Rom, and the problem was present in Android 2.1 and 1.6 too...
It happens to me aswell, it annoys me alot, even overclocked to 710Mhz, obviously its not as laggy as 528Mhz but still laggy, so i think i am going to get a different phone like an iPhone

I found out that also depends on the rom that you flash, everyone phone is different.
When I used to have Android 2.2 with Froydvillain, many people in the forum said that it was awesome and that the battery life was amazing, for me was not, and it was terribly laggy.
After I switched to floyo, a new Hero was born, It was flawless and the performance outstanding, I didn't experienced any lag or issue and I kept it for many weeks...
So as far as I know, for me it could also depend on what you flash sometimes, I guess is just simple as that..
i use the handcent sms ...with the tasty froyo 1.2, and is also quite laggy...
being a rom flash addict, i have tried most of the roms posted here. only overclocking seems to help slightly, though the lag wasnt that bad on the original sense rom
Swiftkey with any AOSP/CM based roms works good for me
Yeah... I have the same problem too. I use HTC-ime mod on Elelinux GB rom, but it lags from time to time randomly.
Okay so I've tried all kinds of ROM's and I definitely love me some Words with Friends... I'm addicted! But the problem is is that I love Sense ROM's a LOT lot. Something about just Non-sense ROM's don't do it for me but I'm having LOTs of trouble getting Words with Friends to work properly on it.
I've been using NDT MIUI ROM and HyperDroid CM7 and WWF works great! But Sense ROMs like CoreDroid, which I LOVED when it was SD Android and the NAND v1.6, as well as imilka's Incredible, as well as imilka's RAM DHD Sense, WWF just doesn't cooperate! Lots of Force Closing and lag! So sad! Is there a fix for this?
I tried the whole thing about the adfree and changing host file but still having problems! Is it my phone? ROM? Kernel? I just want to know the problem!!! And if there will be a fix so it can put me out of my misery and I can stop flashing so many ROM's and then switching back because I cannot use WWF!
Im having the same issue. it drives me insane and its one of the few downsides ive found on the new sense roms. if anyone has figured it out i would love to know how to fix it.
Very weird! I'm on old Sense (2.1) and all works fine for me, but I'm assuming you are on 3.0/3.5?
Hope this isn't a common issue as I was about to upgrade my SD Rom
Hey there ppl! Merry Christmas btw!
I've been using gingerdx pretty much since its first release, and i really like it, but im starting to think that my phone is quite slow for launching apps, or when someone calls me, the phone starts to vibrate and like 5secs later the call screen appears, and when i want to slide the green mark its kinda laggy.
And i started to think that maybe the stock rom wasnt that slow and laggy as gingerdx is resulting to me...
So, as i used the stock rom for less than 4 days, then i started with froyo, and so on, i want to know if its smooter and faster than gdx, because im finding it quite slow lately...
Also, if the stock rom is like ****, i would like to know any other rom that you are using and you think that is smooth and fast, so i can give it a try, or maybe some advaices to make my phone faster!
Goodbye! Thanks in advance!

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363033
its a gb rom,but for me its really fast and i found no lags in it
Well, I can tell you my experience. I had been using GDX for a long time and I saw that multitasking wasn't something to brag of, you now. Music was stopping, web pages reloading and so on. Then I went back on stock. It isn't as bad as the majority of people say it is but still...after one week it started to p*ss me off. After that I installed FroyoBread which I'm currently on and I'm pretty satisfied. You should yry Froyo
Sent from my X8 that is soon going to be replaced with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus/S II
No so long ago, i went back from gingerbread to froyobread, and still it wasnt THAT better than gingerbread, thats why i was asking primary for the stock rom, because i thought that sony would develop something properly for the phone's capacity...
Ill give a try to dx froyobread one more time.
Goodbye!
Try the new froyopro..
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using xda premium
hmm gingercruzt 8.5 on nAa 08 kernel is very fast i m using it at the moment and its great
Which froyo rom should i try? i already used froyobread from dx a long time ago... Is there another? better or worse?
Goodbye!
Currently using stock rom.. i have no problems all my apps run smooth, battery ok. Im not a gamer on phone cause i feel upgrading only needed if i play games...
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk
Im not planning to play games further than fruit slice and angry birds, thats all... All i want is a smooth and fast loading phone, is that the best for stock rom?
Goodbye!

Then you should Try 2.2 rom "FROYOPRO" But you have to modify it according to your needs like installing modules and google applications.
And for faster boot you have to change the bootanimation.zip with a lite one.
