im currently running AOSP 1.6 rom with gbhil custom kernal with setcpu, I really wanna switch to a newer ROM im reading alot about.
1. flipz n toast 2.1 v1.8-7
2. darchstar Cyanogen (like) 2.0.1
3. darchstar AOSP 2.1
which seems to be the best ROM with the most features and close to everything working correctly?

Still using fresh 1.1 Rom, going to try darchstar's AOSP 2.1 today. I will post when finished and let you know how it goes.
i won't use any 2.1 rom until the official comes out.
Now that multi touch and open gl is out thanks to toast, the sense 2.1 build has everything but the camara , mms receive at least for me it isnt working, and vvm
But I like the cyogen like 2.0.1 build a lot
I'm having problems in all of 'em. I like the live wallpapers, market, and maps of the AOSP 2.1, but there are quite a few bugs of things working then not working, then crashing, then working a little.
The Sense 2.1 is kinda nice, but no paid apps in the market and no live wallpapers.
I like the browser in AOSP more than the sense browser.
I haven't tried the 2.0 yet.
I don't think any of 'em are ready for prime-time. They're need, but all have critical issues.
official 2.1 is coming out soon, so I don't see much motivation to go for a custom 2.1 ROM.
Using darchstar's 2.1 right now and it is really fast!! The camera not to big of a deal(not working), But other than that should really give it a test try!!

nah, it was officially set at 2Q2010, which should be not too far off.
I agree with others, despite the massive amounts of work going into getting the kernels and roms working correctly, I will wait untill the official 2.1 as well...
wow either no one else here is trying Darchstar's 2.1 or 2.01 or im just lucky. I think his 2.1 is the best rom out, and I am including all the 1.5 and 1.6 roms in argument. Its my everyday rom, and I am a HEAVY user.
No camera = deal breaker for some.
no mms.. deal breaker.. But I use Sprint PIcture messaging website to get the missing pictures.. lol... and so I still use Darch's 2.1
the main purpose of the eclair i dev for is actually hopes of getting all hardware working in eclair with a .27 kernel. with that being said once sprint releases a 2.1 build for us we will be able to use a custom kernel in it. allowing for mods that extend beyond the build itself. the gsm hero devs know about this advantage as the .29 kernel they have runs slower then their .27 kernel in the builds. ive actually been passing my work on to lox as we fix things. trying to get them closer to a fully working 2.x build with .27 kernel under the hood also. all the 2.x builds will be buggy until we get atleast one official one to nab apps from and such. im thinking of the future right now. when sprint releases a rom and everyones pissed about source again. plus what we learn now will help us all later. i cant say one build is better then another. i guess its if u like sinse or aosp. or want this but not that. to me im just glad we are as far as we are. think about this... the dream guys dont even have opengl (as dream devs have come already looking to use our work) in their 2.x builds and the camera is half baked. also multitouch is a app hack. we have all but camera supported in a little .27 kernel and weve only had source for a few months. most said we wouldntve gotten this far in such little time. but we proved them all wrong.
I have been happy with every rom that I've found on this forum.
Gumbo 1.5c was the first I tried, and it was great. Some minor lag issues, but everything worked.
Now using toast + flips 2.1, and it's amazing. I miss my camera, but I'm not going to complain about it, because having multi touch and the consistency of how the phone runs is whats doing it for me. Thank god, I don't have to wait until Sprint releases one!
No offense to toast or anyone working on the 2.1 Sense ROM, but I tried it, and for me, it just didn't feel right. It was somehwat fast, but it did have moments of lag. Also, I didn't like all of the HTC stuff that came with it. I flashed darchstar's 2.1 AOSP, and WOW. It hit the spot. It's snappy because of the AOSP, and it has nothing "junky" in it. All I've done is flashed the HTC keyboard to it, and now it's wonderful Snappy, 2.1, AOSP, it's great. I don't really care about the live wallpapers, althought the Duck Hunt one was pretty nice.

Can we access picture mail from our phone browser and how do you know when you get a new message?
I'd like to throw it out there that after removing HtcCopyright.apk from darchstar's 2.1 AOSP, I've gotten rid of a lot, if not all, lag from the ROM. The speed also got ridiculously faster.
I hate Sprint.
Anyway, I'm about to root my hero and install DamageControl v2.08 - heard this was the most stable, fastest 2.1 out.
Before I do this, I want to make sure of a few things. Is there anything I should be aware of concerning this ROM? Will everything be working as far as camera, phone, text, keyboard, etc...
I was told it is way better than 1.5 in every aspect but am I going to be sacrificing anything (basic at least) besides the warranty and risk of bricking?
What should I expect coming from 1.5?
Sorry for being late on this...but I'm sure one of you guys will take the time out to explain this to me.
You can find most of the answers to your questions in the DamageControl dev thread.
As far as speed, I can't guarantee it is the fastest. It looks like it still has sense, and sense is a jerk as far as speed goes. I haven't ever tried DamageControl, but you'd be better off looking for something that has Sense stripped from it if you're concerned about speed.
FreshToast is really fast, but it isn't based off of the the leak, so you lose camera. It's overclocked and fast as hell, though.
there are a few cool features coming from 1.5 to 2.1, market looks different, you have pinch zoom on the dashboard, my 1.5 had rosie (the rounded menu bar at the bottom) so that wasnt new, sense is pretty and shiny and is nice to look at.
i did find it a bit faster, but i still had a bunch of sprint bloateware installed.
personally i use sushi rom based off fresh 2.0d, which is fast as heck, but is lacking a few features id like, which ill get to installing when i have the time.
good luck!
ps. totally keep a few rom zips on your SD card if you can spare the few hundred mb of space, so you can play with a few roms without needing your computer.

Fresh toast is actually based off of 2.0d which is like DamageControl, they have all sprint stuff, sense ui, and everythings included. But fresh toast has a different kernel which as of right now the camera doesnt work. And fresh toast i dont think comes with sprint stuff. I was just clearing that up
But with almost every 2.1 rom other then the overclocked ones. Everything pretty much works and you wont lose anything.
The best advice for you is... read the post of each rom and look at What doesnt work or what does work, or read the Change logs they will tell you what is new to the rom as the dev added them.
You cant go wrong with Fresh 2.0d or damagecontrol.. DC rom is basic, but comes with an App that will let you do more advanced things by the push of a button. I recommend you stick with that choice.
ok i just rooted it...
how do I install DC v2.08? I already downloaded it. Now what?? lol
nevermind got it !
with EC 2.08 you do not loose anything!!!
just get a lot of new and better things.
i think it is faster than 1.5 and more stable.
after you have DC Rom installed.
Nandroid again!!
then look at installing a2sd
If sprint doesn't release 2.1 soon, then yes I'm right there with you and I WILL ROOT my phone and follow all those on XDA. I should have already technically.
I want sense tho...so it sounds like damage control is the best eh?

i love sense ... DC roms have it.
there are other ROMs based on DC, and will have sense too.
I run sense with live wallpapers on DC, with a lot of widgets.
No problem with performance!!!!!
go ahead jump in!! you will be happier and forget about the Sprint UPdate!!!
Thanks Dan sent you a PM.
What about the samsung moment? For my wife. Any tips on a ROM that would work for the moment? Sorry, probably shouldn't be hijacking this thread.
I love my Sprint service. I hate their update schedule. I also dislike a few of their policies. Overall, though, they are the best wireless service I've ever had.
That being said, I LOVE DamageControl 2.08 on my rooted HTC Hero (Sprint/CDMA). I wiped, rooted, ROM'd, removed all the Sprint crap and other apps I didn't want, then put on all the apps I wanted. My phone rocks now.
I'd recommend it!
So with all the Roms that we have available today for the Droid Eris, which one is the best in every way? Even though very few people im sure have got a chance to try each and every Eris ROM. Give us some input.
Thanks
no such thing as the greatest rom. what I think is the answer, someone else might not agree. now me personally, i like the vanilla/cyanogen roms. currently running celb
I have always been a fan of any ROM done by framework. His work ethic is good and he is responsive to input. He has sensless, Evil Eris, and CyanEris. Right now, however, he is working through some small tweaks that promise to be great when fixed and repackaged into a single ROM again. That said I have recently been on ErisLightningBolt Cyan and it is phenomenal! This is a cyanogen ported ROM that conap is kicking butt on making. With 2.4 it is now extremely stable and EVERYTHING works, except for mms outgoing. It runs smooth, snappy, and cool. It also has the best battery life of the cyanogen ROMs avail right now IMO. As far as non cyan I also loved Aloysius 2.0 Snow. Again another extremely stable rom that everything just works without having to mess with a bunch of crap.

+1 on that! Framework's stuff is always good... he's been a little busy recently, but he's always good with "finishing" his projects!
on top of that... i'm a "no-sense" (literally... lol) kinda guy. i LOVE the Cyanogen ErisLightingBolt release. and, i ALWAYS have a NAND of Tainted Vanilla handy. it WAS my ONLY daily ROM and everything "just worked" with it (super fast and smooth). but man... CELB2.4 is sweet!
however, you'll just have to see what you prefer... and try a few out. that's what i had to do!

I guess im lucky, i havent had the outgoing mms issue with 2.4. I dont often use mms, mostly gmail to send stuff like that, but i have tried it out since i flashed both the rom, and the theme i applied. Of course i also have done the apn fix on the rom, that might have something to do with it but over all i find this extremely stable and well worth downloading

It's impossible that one ROM is "best" in "every way".
The ROM devs focus on different things, and try to optimize those things.
The Froyo ROMs are "the best" at being a 2.2 based ROM - but I doubt anybody uses them day-to-day.
Some people like bug-free, some like eye-candy, some want to optimize their Linpack results, some like Sense, some hate Sense.
What is good about this is that as the devs gain experience making a certain package work well, the other devs get the benefit of their knowledge & experience (hopefully), and all the ROMs get better with time.

I second that. It's pretty much bugless now. Normal battery life and LinPacks in the 5+ range all the time. Facebook sync works as well. You get real time updates and interaction from the developer on Google Wave. It's very interactive getting to have real input on the ROM. Plus, you don't have to deal with people trolling and flaming. Everyone should check it out.
White Widow Official Discussion Wave
WHITE WIDOW IS THE BEST BY FAR
it is also constantly updated and there is an update that should be out pretty soon.
White Widow 3.2
By far.
You'll find it on Google Wave, not the forums. Too much complaining about it.
Fast, vanilla, stable.
I was totally being sarcastic, White Widow is one of the worst, but at least you get the point that you don't want to take anyone's word for it just try them out yourself.

You been bad mouthing WW for weeks. Its understandable, you do not like it. But you made your shots at the developer, not the ROM itself. That's fine, you have a chip on your shoulder.
But it seems a bit odd you try to be sarcastic with very non sarcastic words with little to no reason to do so.
It's a bit more odd you respond to your own sarcasm without being prompted.
In fact, every post I have seen of yours are negative.

Enjoy your ROM, I hope he gets a C&D order since he's distributing it with google ****s.
Distributing it or not.

Just shows his inability to follow the rules, instead of keeping it separate he distributes it with his ROM, he steals themes, he includes 3rd party applications.
I can't believe you guys would trust a kernel from someone who has been caught on multiple occasions taking other peoples work and calling it his own. Enjoy your back doored kernel, i hope you don't use mint.com!

-Credit was given-
...instead of keeping it separate he distributes it with his ROM

...steals themes

-There is more than one ROM guilty of this-

-Unproven troll-legations-
Let's stop making this a 'Let's back up Andrizoid' thread.
He already has a laughable reputation with anyone putting credible and worthwhile effort into developing ROMs. It doesn't much matter what everyone thinks.
As well, it's pretty obvious that taking other peoples' work and having it all seamlessly integrate makes for a GREAT ROM. As it turns out, when everyone else has already done the leg work, and you slap it together, great things can happen. Funny how that works.
White Widow might be a great ROM. That's what this is about. Don't use the fact that you can discuss things on Google Wave with the "developer" (if he calls himself that) as a positive trait of this ROM. It has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't use White Widow on Principle. Let whoever wants to use/download it decide that.
I think Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0 is the best stock-looking SenseUI ROM. It is the most stable ROM of ANY ROM (although may be equivalently stable to Plain Jane), and has the most saught after features available to put together with it (apps2sd, overclocking, optimized .pngs in all the .apks, wifi tether, etc). It's my favorite because it LOOKs just like everyone else's hero/eris, but is infinitely more capable.
EvilEris 3 is one of my favorites as well, as again I love SenseUI (every time I go vanilla, I come back to Sense even though its slower), and the skin is perfect. It also includes some of the Sense widgets that Incredible users and Legend users get that weren't included on the Eris (great job with the OpenSense plugin, Framework43 !). Sense crashes sometimes, and the GPS icon stays on the top, but it's because of all of the great features and skinning he's done. Great daily ROM.
just my 2 cents here
If its your code he "stole" take it up with him. If its your friends, inform your friend, otherwise its not much of your concern? unless your into joining that patent lawsuit with Steve B-Jobs
Ok... there are a nice hand full of "sense-less" sense roms out right now, Athena being my favorite of these. But once upon a time, before Incdoes blew up into a monster dev (then crashed and burned) he did the complete opposite. He had his "Best of both worlds" AOSP rom with sense stuff in it (rom thread here) This was my favorite rom at that time.... I like AOSP but also like a lot of the sense... i know i'm not the only one who feels the same, so can this be done now with GB? Hope someone with the skills tries this cuz i think people would like this also......
I still have his v2.0 and v2.1 if someone wants to take a look at them and try for them selves.....

I agree. I LOVED that rom. Sense widget support with a stock launcher (and feel) for me would be ideal. Great idea trying to bring something of this caliber back!

bump cuz i want this!!!!!!!
It seems like the think in that rom that worked were just apks werent they?
Most HTC apks should be installable still. Im not sure if that rom used actually sense widgets or not.
I think there are framework issues. Especially since HTC has not released their gingerbread update yet. Even then, I'm sure its proprietary.

I've had my Atrix since Christmas 2011. I have been through many ROMs since then. Here I will tell you my experience with these ROMs.
-----
Motoblur: When I got the phone, I immediately hated Blur. I tried my best to make it look like stock Android. Clearly I wasn't on this for very long.
CM7: That's better. It's very much like AOSP, with only minor differences that I can turn off. I installed an AOSP launcher from the Android Market.
MIUI: I tried this once, found it really confusing, and restored the backup of CM7.
AOSP 2.3.7: I flashed this once, trying to get true AOSP on my phone. I liked it, except it didn't have full color like CM7.
CM7: I flashed back to CM7 later.
CM9: I flashed jokersax's CM9 simply because it was ICS and I couldn't wait. However, this was from back when 2D hardware acceleration was very bad.
CM7: I flashed back because all games were very choppy. I stayed on here for another while.
Motoblur 2.2: I flashed this because it was less intrusive then GB Blur, and because I wanted to be running stock to wait for stock ICS.
CM9: I flashed this later on after it turned to beta. Mostly everything runs smoothly. I loved it.
Motoblur 2.3.6: I flashed back to Blur to give it another chance, and to actually use the features it adds. I actually started to like it. It makes regular GB apps look nicer, and the social features are cool.
CM9: I flashed back to CM9 after experiencing random reboots when using the Facebook app. It turns out it was FB's fault that the phone was randomly rebooting.
Motoblur: I reflashed to Blur because I missed the social features.
CM7: Flashed to this for the speed and themes.
CM9: Flashed to this because I missed ICS.
-----
I actually flashed CM7 a few months back primarily because the ATT 2.3.6 release broke WiFi, but a close second was that I hated all the social features. If I want to see twitter, I will open twitter. If I want FB or LinkedIn, I'll open those apps. The integration drove me nuts.
To each his own!
I actually like the social features. The homescreen widgets are really useful to me. I have one set up to receive XDA-Developers news articles.
News flash: I'm now on CM7. I kinda miss the social integration, but I can work around it.
The only problem I had with Blur's stock launcher is speed. It runs slow and takes a bit to load everything. Yes, it can be replaced, but I'd rather not do that. Though I like FroyoBlur's launcher better.
GB Motoblur isn't all too bad, and it's a hell of a lot better than Froyo Motoblur.

He seems to be sad that you didn't enjoy MIUI.
Personally, I love stock Motorola better than most of the other stocks. I love the social integration, why wouldn't I want to stay connected just because I didn't have a specific app open? To me, Motoblur was all about that -- staying connected.
That said, MIUI is my favorite ROM. At the dawn of ICS I hope MIUI will deliver the performance I'm expecting, otherwise stock ICS for me.
My favorite 2 ROMs are Motoblur 2.3.6 and Codename Android atm. Although I'm currently on CM7, I was on Motoblur until yesterday. The picture on the Motorola Atrix 4G Wikipedia article is a picture of my phone on Blur.
Honestly, I'm kind of disappointed with the Atrx. I come from an HD2 that could run everything (from WinMo to ICS and WP7) without any issue. The Atrix runs fine with MotoBlur and CM7 but there still are issues with them and not as much devs and enthusiasm to fix them.
I guess things will be different with an official ICS release/leak but when will that be ? Way too late. I regret buying it. Never Motorola again...

Well, you can't deny that HTC/Samsung/Sony have a real policy when it comes to updates. It's always too slow for everyone's taste but it's getting there.
Motorola releases phone with outdated software and takes up to a almost a year to release updates. So either they don't care, either they have 4 people working on updates...

As much as its slow it is at least coming. Over in the UK orange customers didn't get gingerbread until December! So I have no idea what that version of blur is like. I was away from it way before then. I did enjoy some of blurs features, but difference in performance once the junk is removed is something else.
Currently I am using CM9, Turls build. I tried his first and never had deal breaking issues so I've stuck by it.

I've had my Atrix since Christmas 2011. I have been through many ROMs since then. Here I will tell you my experience with these ROMs.
-----
Motoblur: When I got the phone, I immediately hated Blur. I tried my best to make it look like stock Android. Clearly I wasn't on this for very long.
CM7: That's better. It's very much like AOSP, with only minor differences that I can turn off. I installed an AOSP launcher from the Android Market.
MIUI: I tried this once, found it really confusing, and restored the backup of CM7.
AOSP 2.3.7: I flashed this once, trying to get true AOSP on my phone. I liked it, except it didn't have full color like CM7.
CM7: I flashed back to CM7 later.
CM9: I flashed jokersax's CM9 simply because it was ICS and I couldn't wait. However, this was from back when 2D hardware acceleration was very bad.
CM7: I flashed back because all games were very choppy. I stayed on here for another while.
Motoblur 2.2: I flashed this because it was less intrusive then GB Blur, and because I wanted to be running stock to wait for stock ICS.
CM9: I flashed this later on after it turned to beta. Mostly everything runs smoothly. I loved it.
Motoblur 2.3.6: I flashed back to Blur to give it another chance, and to actually use the features it adds. I actually started to like it. It makes regular GB apps look nicer, and the social features are cool.
CM9: I flashed back to CM9 after experiencing random reboots when using the Facebook app. It turns out it was FB's fault that the phone was randomly rebooting.
Motoblur: I reflashed to Blur because I missed the social features. I'm still on it as of this writing.

Well, there you have it. My story on custom firmware. But now I have a question: I was thinking of flashing CM7. Should I? I really like Blur's social features.

same to me, now on CM7 by Notorious544d...... and waiting for stock ICS
As of June 13, I'm back on CM9. I first flashed Jokersax's build, then flashed Turl's build to avoid Joker's ridiculous UI text.
ROMs I have run on my phone are CM7, Codename Android, CM9, AOKP. Sticking with AOKP for good now though.

Is "Okay, bye" an opinion?
He's right and you can't replicate.
Stock Motoblur GB 2.3.4 is unusable to be a Dual Core.

Just open his profile and click on block. What's funny is in can still read his rude comments when someone quotes him...

CM7 is best and stable.
I've tried literally everything, and I keep going back to Neutrino. It's just so damn good.
