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!!

Really? I thought it was 1H2010 and then 2Q2010, which is practically the same damn thing....

Aye, he's wrong, it's 2Q. I think I heard that sprint said it should be out next month.

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.
Hai Guise.
I've tried three different Froyo ROMs from A.Development now and all of them work fine except for one niggle.
Google Listen doesn't seem to see my Google Account sync on startup and as such, won't work as it needs to sync with Google Reader.
Listen is one of my most-used apps and there isn't a replacement even nearly good enough to replace it on the market. Does anyone know a fix or workaround?
Thanks.
EDIT: Ah, I see there is another thread on this topic which remains unanswered. Sorry.
If anyone is interested, I've found that Doggcatcher comes close to replacing Listen, but at a cost of £6.99
It was me who posted I am glad I'm not a lone it doesn't work on sense versions or asop versions grrr

Ditto. Does everything I need and more. What's the point of updating if nothing changes dramatically...its just a number game?

There are some cool UI changes and the overall experience seems much snappier since I updated to Gingerale (2.3 based ROM). I would recommend checking it out at least, just make a backup and revert if you don't like it But I bet you will.

I'm going to have to agree. Froyo was great to me, but when I jumped to GB... wow. Quicker, looks better and runs smoother. I just got a replacement phone yesterday with 340 on it and I can't believe I actually used it. Tossed 595 on right away But as Schmidty said, you can always roll it back. To each their own, though.
BTW... that Gingerale looks awesome. I'm gonna try it when I get home
Schmidty and Kobalt, is there that much of a diff? New to world of customizing. I do have 2 X's (one on wireless). Maybe I'll give it a try on that one. I'm sure I can find a thread somewhere. You both recommend Gingerale? My real concern is seeing ongoing threads of issues with these various versions of GB (don't know if gingerale falls in that category). But I'm constantly reading and trying to learn more. This damn phone and these forums has created a monster out of me. I tried my buddies original droid yesterday (totally stock). I almost vomited. He's too afraid to do any form of customization or rooting.
You say faster until you actually load it and it includes more crapware and really is barely faster than the custom gb rom you put on the phone.
I'll stick with a rom'd froyo with gingerbread elements in it till a better gb rom comes out.
Do you have a preference serial?

I would way prefer a clean GB install (Cyanogen anyone?), but I haven't seen one for my X that is as stable as .595.
So I will keep my .595 build (rooted and deoxed) until I see something better.
Gingerbread is almost here? Where have you been? I have been running gingerbread for about a month now. The "official" update is just a number
have any of you guys tried Liberty GB? I downloaded the donate version of Liberty Toolbox from the market and installed the Nightly Gingerbread ROM. So far, kinda stable.
Some bugs are:
-Maps crashes sometimes out of the blue
-Calendars won't let you modify or add items
But I have gotten stronger 3g and faster reception, and faster system overall...
Hope to hear a release date of the a final build Liberty GB

I'm in the same boat with the same build. Very happy with it, and not interested in the OTA update, unless .596 is shown to have some wonderful new improvement over .595.
Hey guys i rooted and might of deleted some bloatware do i have to sbf to get it back so that i may get the update
i will be testing the OTA in a few HRS ...now my question is will there be more devs jumping back on board wigh new exciting roms cause i just got this phone 2 days ago and i see no activity and cant even find liverty 2.0 rom or rooting instructions for .340

I just freeze the crapware with Titanium Backup and unfreeze it when it's time to update. Once updated, I freeze it back up again. Worked like a charm for the 2.2 OTA update.
Does anyone know when we can get the release?

I just got off the phone with a rep at Netflix about the recent loss of availability on the Evo. Just in case some of you were not aware, the RUU Gingerbread update not only killed netflix for Stock Evo 2.3 users but also Stock Evo 2.2 users like myself. Now the reason is that Netflix assumed that all Evo owner's had a forced update to 2.3 and stoped supporting the Evo period until the developers can fix the playback issues on 2.3.
I informed them that not all Evo owners updated to 2.2 and that if you click ok in the app to get the update from the market and then very quickly hit the back button then play it will in fact stream the video. This works also in 2.3 with Netflix version 1.2.0 build 819145. But performing the work around is a PITA annoyance.
The rep is forwarding my finding and the fact that there are still 2.2 Evo users out there and will turn off the forced update today sometime and perhaps have the updated app available on the market for 2.2 users. They also will try to replicate my findings with the build I was using on 2.3 and see if they can get a working update for 2.3 within a few days.
So keep and eye out.

Ummm they didn't break it for 2.2 users. I just streamed fine on my 2.2EVO here running Calks EViO 2.2 rom.
The app just doesn't show up in the market anymore but it works fine on 2.2 at least.
Just so you know, I am on Evervolv, which is 2.3 AOSP, and just tested Netflix after reading this. It worked perfectly.
My Netflix version is 1.2.1
Running Deck's Gingerbread and it works very well.

Good to know, but I'm referring to stock 2.2 and 2.3 of course. Like Sprint lovers and stock based Rom that do not have a modified build.prop file.

Well the only thing modified in Calks buildprop that i noticed is the build.description, which i wouldn't think would make a difference in getting through NFLX checks. Its a sense based rom pretty stock with theming stuff and speed tweaks basically.
i believe the OP is talking about 4.22 / 2.3.3. or sense gb ("RUU gingerbread" update for the evo), not aosp gb.
netflix on sense froyo is still working for me (evio 1.8).
thanks for inquiring OP.

"If you having Netflix problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems streaming a movie ain't one" lol
It's not gingerbread with problems just gingersense roms.
I had some issues with Netflix a few days ago...I uninstalled and recovered app + Data from Titanium Backup and it started working again. Just F.Y.I. I also believe there's a post somewhere with the same fix in it.
as I understand it - if you go to the market there is no Netflix app showing for Evo regardless of what Android OS or Rom you are running.
If you had Netflix previously installed on a ROm where it worked, it should still work.
Netflix will not work on any Sense based 2.3 ROM.
On Sprint Lovers still with Netfix 1.2.1 and it's still going.. Wifey's Stock 2.2 on NF 1.2.0 is down..

Thanks Man! This fixed Netflix on stock rooted 2.2.
I'm using Deck's 1.2v GB 2.3.4 and Netflix works great. It's the 1.2.1 build though. Search the forums and you can download the .apk since it might not be available on the actual market for your version of ROM.
It might not work for everyone but it's worth a try...
Has anybody been able to install NETFLIX on their EVO using the recently updated sprint lovers app by thatsmartboy???
Netflix does not work currently period. Doesn't matter what rom you are using.
Thanks... I noticed that once I did a lil more research
Um, it works on my phone, it just wont work on unsupported phones and gingersense.
Until Netflix updates the app it only works on pure gingerbread roms like decks(not HTC sense roms with gb update) or you can do like I did and go back to froyo until the devs or Netflix finds a fix
Thanks I just flashed back to froyo... im ok... I guess ill just wait for the evo 3d
So word on the street is we get a new update on 6/20 that fixes the Netflix app and the voicemail bug some are having. Hopefully they throw some new sense our way...... Yeah right. Lol
