reserved.....maybe?

ive decided to take pancake 1.5c...the fastest rom there is IMO and customize it and tweak whatever i can.
i know most are going to the 2.1 roms but with the some bugs that plague them i wondered if anybody would have any interest in this before i start working on it?

fastest says who ?
and what bugs some minor quirks here and there but nothing major nothing with going back to 1.5 imho

It's only 1 vote, but I would be. I keep upgrading to various 2.1 ROMs only to find myself going back to 1.5-based ROMs.
My programming skills are non-existent, so I couldn't help any of the development, but I would be happy to test anything you might create.

says me...1.5c based off of gumbo is about the fastest rom there is, or at least that i have tried and ive tried them all and done benchmarks.

1.5c is Gumbo. I'm not sure the what version number Papapancake was.

I don't know if my opinion count, but I did like Pancake when it was out. However, after I fresh 2.0 leak, I doubt I will every go back to 1.5 imho. Maybe other might like if 2.0 is not perfect until final release. You might want a poll here.

yeah i know, he just took gumbo and the stovepipe 0.32 kernel and improved on the speed a bit. i just figured it would be something different until we can get the official 2.1 dump which from what i hear may be friday.

Fixxxer,
You do realize that any lingering bugs will likely be resolved this weekend right?

so your buying into the friday release date?

just cause it's coming out doesn't mean everything will be fixed....

would you be incorporating the overclocking into the Kernel? That would certainly be nice.

Pancake overclock is obnoxiously fast. I'm running it now.

But I actually WANT HTC Stock Apps...

Hi All,
I'm running Senseless / Cyanogen V1 and I really want some of my stock HTC Apps back. I'm talking Browser, Camera, People, etc.
Can anyone help? I know it's not as simple as dropping a APK and installing.
Thanks.

ok first
why not post this in the acuall forum for this rom?
seconds if you read the whole first post, theres a download apps.zip u flash after the install of it. to get them back.

You are referring to the Sense UI. You must choose a rom that keeps the Sense UI that the Eris comes with.
The Sense-able or Evil Eris roms are ideal, but the Senseless and Cyanogen roms do not include it.
This is the fundamental debate on roms - Sense or No-Sense...

Whoa partner, slow your roll with the hash comments. No need for negativity toward the hard work done by some great devs!
Plus, you are missing the point. The many helpful devs posting above ^ have stated that you cannot install the Sense components onto a non Sense based rom. It just won't happen...

Okay, I apologize if I have offended anyone with my "blue" comment, but personally I enjoy the natural green glow of the android.
Okay, thanks for the clarification. I just wish there was somehow a ROM with everything I want.

there are alot of good sense based roms out there...you just need to use one of those ....and if you are not fond of the colors ...try using a theme to change it up....
but definitely try not to bash someones hard work over something like choice of color.....
other sense based roms (that i can think of right now)
senseable
evil eris
aloysius (very themeable)
kaoslegendary
ivans official
ZenExp (very nice build)
and more ...
I have used a few of these for long periods of time

No sense widgets exactly, but you can grab Beautiful Widgets from the Market which are pretty as well.

I think Beautiful Widgets was actuall y the first thing I paid for on android

I used them before back when I first got my phone. They really seemed to lag me up. I might give them a shot again when I install White Widow/Senseless.

Holy F, There are a Lot of ROMs

Just went to look at the dev section. Come on... Really?

Is a big selection a problem?

FYI about "all" the roms... in terms of FROYO roms, they are virtually ALL THE SAME -- CM6. The rest of them are actually just rebranded CM6.

Thanks for the sweet input. I'm sure the community will decide to stop working on all of their different ROMs, themes, and whatnot to suit your belief.

It's not that bad - there were times when you could choose from really different ROMs, but then Cyanogen started to support G1 with his CyanogenMod and these days there's only few the bravest who try to build their ROM from AOSP, not from CM source.
So it's like CM AND themed/renamed/scripted MC.

In terms of trying them all to find a preferred one? I guess it's up to the person and how much time they have.

Do you seriously think there are a lot of ROMs?
Maybe over time, not updated ones. You have no idea how sweet it was when Donut was still the big player.

Heh, it's like when I first got my G1 and watching the android store: "Oh! There's another one!".
I've been around since the beginning and you are right about how "sweet" and exciting it was when the updates came fast and furious. I guess I've been spoiled by that experience, and now it seems to me there are two pages of same ol' different bonnet.
To be clear, not saying this is a bad thing.

yeah, feel ya buddy, i got my g1 less than a week ago, and i felt exactly like you when i wanted to chose a ROM to flash.
I flashed CM6 just to try it out, then switched to biffmod 2.sth, which is like a shaved CM. biff runs a lot faster than CM for me, but i need some ROM that will let at leaste SOME ram free, and that wont kill my battery in just a few hours.. i guess ill have to go for eclair or donut,, i just didnt want to miss froyo updates..
so if you do find some good ROM, let me know

He said virtually. And cause yours ain't cm based, im DEF gonna give it a try! Are you planning on getting cam working? Is it you own kernel? Nm, I'll just go read your thread. =]
Oh wait! If I recall you had the first "froyo" right! I was just remembering how that rom was stable for a week with no slowdowns! It just had missing functionality.... I missed that your still developing, I thought you stopped on froyo cause of cm. Going to look for it now. Thx

Chromium 4.5. It's in the first two pages, I'm on an iPad now so posting links is like pulling teeth, sorry. I've been on Super F now for 24+ hours and it's pretty good too.
Anyone able to recommend a donut or eclair that is still being maintained I would be much obliged.

aaaah I think its called "Chromatic", not "Chromium", thats why I couldnt find it.. lol
ill give it a try, but anyways, Im still looking for a very light 2.1 to see if I can get more battery life and RAM

Blurry Bread

Is anyone out there using Drod's blurrybread rom? If so, is the CRT animation enabled? Or can I just use the same file I used for the stock gingerbread for it?

Yes. Yes. and Yes it works well.. ..I'm not sure what file your referring to for stock gingerbread though.

I was refering to the zip file that I flashed to enable it for the stock gb but since it's already there I wont need it. I'll be flashing as soon as I can

+1 for blurrybread.
My only complaint so far, is my swype license doesn't want to stick around after reboots and has to be regenerated.

Oh ok. Well yeah if needed that can be flashed again.

anyone know if blurrybread is going to be updated to the official GB release? i really like it and don't really want to load the official until drod has had his way with it.

I could be wrong...but Im pretty sure drod said on twitter that hes developing solely for the thunderbolt now.

Yep or at least say "im moving on" or not working on it again in their thread damn .

well... that's a bumber. at least it didn't seem like he had done a ton with blurry bread anyway. hopefully someone with the skills will do the same. it was really just some "basic" tweaks to the base rom. nothing particularly major. i'd do it but don't have that level of skill... but surely someone out there will do something similar. i hope at least.

MIUI is dead. (Sort of)

Sounds like it's all gone pear shaped. The main English porting for MIUI is no more, the site is gone.
Some of the details are from the @MiuiDev twitter feed:
http://twitter.com/#!/miuidev
MIUI itself is still in development as usual by the original Chinese devs, the English translation has hit a major speedbump (brick wall?) with this however.

Miuiandroid.com appears down as well. None of the links are working.

I was around the site for a bit. It's known that markhuk is not very stable. He usually just flips out from random thing. He yelled at members so many times for reporting a bug, banned a few country by IPs, threatened to give up the project at least 10 times before.
The dude thinks he owns everything on there and everyone who helps him are nobody. I'm actually quite happy that the majority of the dev splits and form MIUI.us. At least the English version of the Rom is not in Mark's dead grip. Also, less drama from this dude.

Well...
Site down or not, as long as we can get translators to translate from Chinese to English and update the roms with the translated text, then the updates can still roll out somewhere somehow. Basically everything having to do with English translations is down.... right?
Miui still comes from China.... not like the whole china-made-rom is dead.... no?

I like MIUI as well as CM and Sense roms--it is what flashing is all about--each has their own unique look and qualities

So where does one download MiUi English version then? And is it 2.3 based? I tried one last week and it looked quite unstable. Couldn't even find the FM radio. Quickly flashed back to CM7.
What do people recommend?

You need to go to the Forums/Nexus One and dl the latest deodexed chinese rom and English pack
Flash them back to back from sd card like any other rom
You will need to wipe data and caches at least 3X for everything, I do five.
Do a nandroid first and would redo sd card as in reformat outside phone and repartition ext3 1gb. Back it up first
I found this helps if having issues
I, like some, need to dl VM Heap Tool from Market and set to 48
If launcher is still laggy use ADW
You may want to reboot after initial flash to set space and also run a2sd commands

I did. Sure I like the eye candy. But I don't like the fact that there's no app launcher. Everyone has different likings. This isnt one of mine

Use ADW--you don't lose the unique pull down bar or any other MIUI features
I have used it with a solid black wallpaper and lose some of the iphone look
I think there is an icon theme also?

He does sound a bit all-over-the-place.
Paul O'Brien from MoDaCo has gone to the extent of purchasing additional physical hardware in order to supply them with a server which is pretty epic on his part. Looks like it's not going away any time soon.
I like some of the things that MIUI tries to do, but it has issues with a few things that I need it not to have issues with.
