ROM Request - Droid Eris Android Development

hey guys and gals. I'm a huge fan of all the devs work here and have tried most roms.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get a rooted 1.5 with oc and a functioning YouTube player? I like 2.1 but enjoyed 1.5 more. my only complaints from it was YouTube didn't work and was a tad slow.
I know there are a couple of rooted 1.5 roms from a few months ago but none with these modifications.
Thanx guys and keep up the great work on these roms.

2.1 is basically 1.5 but faster and with more things. Why would you want a 1.5 rom? Just out of curiosity.

I find 2.1 to be rather buggy. I find 1.5 to be more stable. like I said if I could get oc and a working youtube player 1.5 would be perfect imo.

Not sure if you're already rooted, but a quality rooted 2.1 ROM has less bugs than even 1.5 had.

Replace the youtube apk from 2.1 and f flash the oc patch zanfur made and that will get you 1.5 with your desired tweaks.
I think that's all you would need.

tried both. did adb push of YouTube player wouldn't show up so I wiped dalvik thinking that would install it but that just caused endless fc loops.
Also tried flashing the oc kernel, touch screen quit working after reboot. thank the lord for nand backups lol.

I bet youtube apk won't work from 2.1 on 1.5 because it's written for 2.1. The same may be for zanfurs kernel. You could try jcase's plain jane which is just plain old 2.1 with a few fixes and OC. I know you said 2.1 is buggy but I haven't noticed anything bad or buggy about it.

Yeah, I've used plain jane just plagues me with the same annoying bugs because as you said it is 2.1. What I'm looking for is like plain Jane but as 1.5 instead of 2.1.
I know there's not a lot of demand for cupcake roms so it's no biggie if no one wants to tackle the project. just figured wouldn't hurt to ask.

dialer lag even with oc going, just not as bad. keyboard lag, sometimes hangs on keys. UI is faster in 1.5 from my experience ad far as adding widgets. and so on lol.

You shouldn't have the dialer lag or lag for adding widgets. I updated to 2.1 leak and I still didn't have any dialer lag, only in 1.5. But oh well.
Maybe someone will be able to quickly cook one up. I'll try my hand at it later this week.

Interesting thread... not sure if you only want the HTC sense UI but it may be worth your while to try my xtrROM as was worried about similar items... I had to have nav though which made 2.1 the option for me.
Not sure when i'll get time but I am intrigued by your thoughts and will have to research a cupcake build.

i had keyboard lag, and keys hanging on 1.5 and through on to 2.1 hence I dont use the sense keyboard anymore swype or vanilla only. I like the htc more then the vanilla, but the hang ups were really a deal breaker. never had a problem with widgets. HTC dialer lagged in sense in 1,5 and 2.1 for me, granted it improved dramatically in 2.1 i dont notice it half as much anymore.

were can I download the 1.5 ROM?

Se for it was all a lot worse in 2.1. I'm on 1.5 now and as soon as I hit the quick dial button for my wife my blue tooth is turning on and ringing. closest I've gotten to that on 2.1 is with the cyanogen based roms, which I keep a nand of for days when I feel vanilla ;-)

Best current 2.1 ROM for G1?

Is there a working 2.1 ROM for the G1 which has Live Wallpapers with minimal battery drain and also something close to running at a fast speed with GPS/camera/maps/streetview etc all working?
At the moment I'm using SuperEclair V8.2 by XxKOLOHExX and it's fine and all, but the system slows down to the point of becoming near unusable when Live Wallpapers are on - not to mention the huge battery drain. Are there any ROMs which have such issues corrected?
Thanks in advance~
I'm using superD 1.6. I would change to 2.1 if there was something as fast as 1.6. I have yet to see an eclair rom to match the speed of donut.
It's been a while since I've used a 2.1 rom, but when I did, I didnt notice any battery loss from the live wallpapers. From what I know, live wallpapers doesn't even run when your phone is off/sleeping. LWP's turn back on when your phone comes back on, so it's not constantly running.
edit: That didnt really answer your question =)

Hmm yeah that's true - I don't mind if it's not as fast as donut, just as long as it's not really really slow. The 2.1 ROM I was using had great features but it was just too laggy for me.

+1 for Open Eclair. I used it for my everyday rom for months with no problems. Recently switched back to SuperD out of boredom though.
Ohhh, cool. Looks like Open Eclair is the best way to go. Thanks!
latest open eclair or kingklick's ASOP 2.1 v1.9
Cannon 1.2 with 3d patch 2.0 is fully of fc.
SuperEclair v2.4 or v3.0 I suggest v2.4 with Extended Pack.
Kolehe beta 3.0 Rom. I bet theres no Eclair rom faster. flash and see for yourself. But no LWP's though. And you shouldnt be asking for a fast eclair that has minimal battery drain and complain about something slowing down and your using LWP's.
OpenEclair 1.3.0.1 is very feature-complete, stable and the "no 3D" version is fast enough for daily use. The 3D version though is slow. I've missed several phone calls because it takes that long for the phone to wake up and show caller ID.
The OpenEclair devs are promising improvements on that front in the upcoming 2.0 version, so I'd try that out when it becomes available.

I have an original MT3G (using Cyanogen right now) if that makes any difference.
Sorry because of the extremely late reply man :S but...
I think you DEFINITELY have to try this ROM if you wanna know what's speed and reliability. It's based off the official aosp ota for the mt3g (my touch 3g) and tweaked out to run flawlessly on the G1

HI!
Awesome!!! I'm thinking about change phone because it's too laggy but this ROM makes all the diference! Thanks for the suggestion.
Now i only have two questions because i had Cyanogenmod and it has Power Control in the status bar like the samsung galaxy i think and i can also change the number of lines and collumns my desktop has, and chage the weight of the widgets.
Anyone knows what can i do to make that things work in this version?
THANKS!!!

I can't wait for someone to reply to this thread in six months time and be all 'Dude, you gotta check out this honeycomb ROM, it runs amazing on the G1!!' and everyone else will be all 'lulwut?'.
Have had Super-E, but changed to BiffMod.
BiffMod is faster on my G1.
Greetings
Braaaaiiiiiings.... mmmmm... BRAIIIINS!!!
The one I have now is blazing fast, I use from cm4 to cm6 and this thing maybe best so far I have use, no fc and bs since I got it, fancy looks but still maintain good speed. But not sure about juice, my battery is extended one like 3.7 VDC 3000m monster battery so it still last me good 10hr+ even everything is on......
Waiting for good sense mod. ;-)

Whats the fastest ROM currently available?

I'm running fresh 2.0d right now, but it seems to be a bit laggy..which ROM will give me the best performance/stability?
Thanks guys, love these forums
Um....hmm, can't really answer that one. I've tried like all of the roms out there, though I've never really had the same experience twice. I would just nandroid backup and spend time with all of them until you find the one that works best...

True, but I'm just looking for ROMs that people recommend/use daily that work well. I'm gonna try DamageR right now, I've already tried DamageControl and Flipz, so I'm gonna try some other ones and see how it goes.

SEARCH AND READ...that's seems to be the answer to every single post being made today. It's all here in black and white. One search I recommend in all honesty is search the word:
"BENCHMARK" and read the thread started by flipzmode. It's a really good read.
I heard that CakeButt.ClownPenis 1.3 was really fast!!!! Check it out.

I just spit coke all over the computer at school...thanks Kbizz.
RegawMOD is pretty good and the new FreshToast is also fast once it's setup right... I've tried just about every 2.1 rom available on this site and those are the ones I like the most.
I know it benchmarked the worst but as far as regular use RegawMOD 2.1 is the best and fastest running rom in my experience, that is also on the .29 kernel...
If you search for flipzmode benchmark you will see that all 2.1 rom all run about the same speed.
Other then flip/toast OC rom should run the fastest and its the only rom that will actually show a big difference in benchmarks.
Water it down like all the other "fast" roms and youll have one that is actually fast do to overclocked processor.
Its not made for everyone, and the camera isnt working yet (i have a feeling its not far away).

Hey no problem!! Bout choked myself when I first read it.. My favorite rom name to date!! Wish I could cook.....
This is hardly a scientific analysis, but I have been running DC, flipz, and Regaw's roms interchangably for the past few weeks, and today switched from Sense to the Helix launcher.
The biggest difference in UI performance came from ditching Sense...it was actually a noticeable difference in responsiveness
That being said, I don't think you'll notice a whole lot of difference between the individual ROMs with Sense, so base your choice on what programs/features each ROM has versus which is fastest...in everyday use, you won't be able to tell a difference, IMHO.
So I got DarchVanilla, and I really like it, but the market doesn't have all my apps.. Is there a fix for this yet?? I really like this one, it's very responsive and close to lag free.

+1 The reason I chose RegawMOD is because it was basically a stripped down rom. It allowed me the room to load the programs that I wanted without having to strip useless (for me) programs from the rom. Very nice, stable.
I've found that using Ic3Rom with some apps removed from it, the old OpenGL restored on it, and Launcher2 installed, it's incredibly fast. It looks like AOSP, but has the current stability and function of a HTC ROM. Give it a shot if you haven't
I've used almost all of the roms available out there I thing fresh works better, if u don't want lag you would hve to use aosp

+1 for RegawMOD being the best of the ones currently available that gives me what I want. I really like fresh 2.0d except that is was really laggy IMO too. I can't handle laggy, and RegawMOD doesn't appear to have any of that lag, and so far everything I need and want works just fine on it, including googlevoice, but I only use googlevoice for my voicemail, no idea about sending and receiving calls with it.

[ROM REQUEST] last 1.5 rom before completely dropped

I'm not sure if i am in the right thread to put this in but as the title stated I would like one last 1.5 Rom betorr it is dropped completely.
I tried 1.6 but the headphones doesn't work nor does the speaker when on a call. Right now i am using fresh 1.1 Rom and it is very fast and light weight but I was wondering if there was any tweaks or any services or apk thatcan be added or removed to increase performance stability or battery life.
Anyone wants to the resurrect this rom?

Try doing a search for Gumbo 1.5c... I think that has been mentioned as one of the faster 1.5 ROMS.
I don't follow the drama on here, so have no idea what you two are talking about... Just stating that I have seen many talk about how much they like
1.5c.
The fastest 1.5 ROM I had was Fresh 1.1 with gbhil's .31 Gumbo Kernal. That combo is probably faster than some of the 2.1 roms.

Wow, no one gets jokes either.. oh well, yeah I ran Fresh 1.1 w/ gumbo kernel for a while, it was great! I'd go with that if you want 1.5.
How would I put in his kernal in it I am running the fresh Rom and I find it the best one as everything works and it is very stable.
BTW regaw your toolbox is awesome. I would love to give you ideas to improve id you want any and I saw some poeople was posting hate on it. Don't worry about them your toolbox is perfect.
Can I flash a kkernal on a Rom and it will work fine?

I have been using this fresh 1.1 (1.5 Rom)and .31 kernel all day and I have to say that I am no longer intrested in the evo 4g until my upgrade. My phone idles at 85mb of RAM and I have all my apps installed.
I'm multitasking and I haven't gone less then 50mb of ram so far.
I will put it up to the real test later on this week when I am listening to music, using Google navigation, texting, and on the web at the same time to see how it stands up to the test.
My girlfriend gave me her motorala droid so I will compare the speeds to it to see how it stands up.
I think if we can shave off some things out of it. And try to get it to idle over 100mb it will be very nice.

Sense eating up massive cpu and causing phone to be unresponsive

Hey guys sometimes my evo will start to lag really bad and I found the cause to be sense using insane cpu. Does this ever happen to anyone else? I really love sense
and would hate to give it up for this reason. Tired multiple roms and all have this issue. Currently running latest fresh with baked snacks number 5 kernel.

Pro-tip: Rosie (the Sense launcher) sucks ass.
I thought about it being other software but don't see how that can cause sense to take up CPU because I assumed the other programs would see the CPU time instead of sense. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen occasionally and also if i reboot it seems to fix the problem

To the OP, try wiping and starting over. Fresh rom is based off of a later OTA that uses a newer kernel than the baked snack kernels. I would recommend using baked snack 1.7 rom. That is my current favorite Sense rom. Check that out, and pm me if you want it to look like Fresh rom or stock sense

No, Rosie has less features, no customization, and uses more resources than the quality alternatives (ADW and LauncherPro). Those are solid facts, and I stand by my original statement that Rosie blows.
Switched to virus rom with sense currently the problem has gone away.
Problem is returned. Sense is also draining most of my battery according to system monitor. I have tried virus fresh Calkulin and am currently on myn warm twopointtwo.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Probably HTC's shoddy coding. I'm probably going to get flamed by the HTC/Sense fanyboys but AOSP/stock is the only way to go.
Is there a way to get the HTC widgets on a non sense rom? My main reason for not switching over. Im downloading vaelpak as of right now ill try it out and see how it goes.
Cm6 > sense
Cm6 = no 4G.

this may not be a sense vs cm issue at all. It's happening with multiple sense roms, and you use sense widgets. Maybe that's the issue. Don't use the widgets and see if it still happens. Use systempanel and find out what's using the cpu.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Edit - try an app called watchdog task manager lite. It can be set to alert you when your cpu usage hits certain levels, and tell you what's causing it.
Why so many cm6 fanbois?
The whole point of the evo is the 4g. You guys shoulda just got an hd2 for half the price.

Cm6 is a blazing fast rom....and sense has about 80mb of bloat in their rom. But 4g, hdmi, and fm radio are important features that set our phones apart. I think cyanogen is getting 4g in his area any day now and I think he's going to start working on our phones again. At least I hope.

I had a 2-3 key reasons for getting the EVO (I already have a iPhone 4), and WiMax/4G tethering was one of them. I've been using CM6 stable since it's release. That is all.

The HD2 isn't on Sprint and it doesn't run Android natively. Besides, 4G on CM will eventually come and HTC Sense is just too unbearable for me to use.

Favorite ROMS

I have to say, I've grown to enjoy what Sense 3.5 has to offer. I fully intend the remainder of my phones on contract life to be spent with either Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 or (my currently installed rom) Warm TwoPointThree. I missed out on Warm TwoPointTwo and all it's heyday so I'm fully enjoying my first ever run with the Warm series.
Side note, I think my next android phone will spend its life on AOSP either because:
A) it's a Nexus device
B) I rooted/installed an AOSP rom
My current favs are Stock+/Inc-Deck GB/OMGB
I never have had a good experience with sense 3.0+ roms, too slow and I dont want to overclock although some of the roms are built really well. AOSP is really nice on our old hardware and always runs clean.

Yea sense 3.5 is REALLY great but also is REALLY laggy but overall I find it to be one if the best too.

I'm on Inc-Deck-GB myself, I guess that probably answers the question.
with special props to SkyRaider 4.+... that was the best sense ROM. I would still use it if it had ever got updated to Gingerbread.
I've never tried MikG, Downloading and flashing tonight ^.^ hows the battery life? What kernel do you use etc? My personal fav has always been CM7
Cm7 loyalist no doubt. It gives the best performance, support, and customization of any rom. When I get a new phone, ill be shopping on the base of roms, and cm7 support is a must.

same here, love CM7. With heavy customization from android kitchen and other apps I'm loving my phone and don't have any urge to try other ROMs (maybe a bad thing?)
Sense always gave my phone a little more bloat, no matter how small it was, I'm still all for faster and leaner so that's why I've been stuck to CM7.
Just loaded up MikG and its booted, but its at the mikmikmik wallpaper, and no unlock screen, i can see the battery, time 3g and signal bar though..

Same happened to me on that rom a few times. I got it booted on my first flash but after that, none.
If you want a fun rom to play around with I suggest anyone of the super stock AOSP roms i.e. OMGB/Bugless Beast. What better way to customize than to start with the bare bones.
MIUI with my WP7 customizations runs like a boss. I underclock to 245/128 when I listen to music only and it runs as maybe a 700 MHz Sense rom would, while getting maybe days of battery.
I'm using Stock Plus with a bunch of themes I blended together. My favorite ROM of all time was WarmZ though. What I would give to have it in Gingerbread form... its what's in my sig actually.

ended up with MIUI
My first flash in the rooting game was McTwist. I enjoyed it but wanted to try something else. I switched to Nils Business GingerSense with sense 3.0 and loved his design and the smoothness. Something happened where after a few weeks my phone became unstable tho. Could have been my kernel or my phone or even the charger I was using since apps crashed when plugged in. I then decided to get away from sense roms and tried MIUI 1.12.9. It's smooth and doesn't seem to have that sense bloat. I flashed the latest incredikernel and have been loving the ROM since. It has custom themes which is great for me. I also find myself using the stock dialer,SMS, and camera instead of searching for an after market app. The only thing I didn't like was the homescreens and the launcher so I just use launcherpro and everything looks good.
So as a recap:
McTwist was good
Nils Business GingerSense was great but caused phone problems for me
Sticking with MIUI for now

I can see how the lag puts people off from Sense 3.5. I haven't run into the issue cuz I use ADW Ex (proudly purchased for .10 cents awhile back) and I just go about my business.

I believe it. Probably my personal favorite moment to be a member of XDA was when we first had the GingerSense leak last May. Development just shot through the roof for Sense 2.1+ roms. Sense 2.1 is the sweet spot.
