i like the cool effect it has.. just to show off every now and then
i flashed chromatics 4.3 but i must say its very fast .. espically in rotation compared to others..
ima try superfly now

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736361

I tried SuperFroyo last week, and frankly, I was not impressed. I gave it valiant efforts, even repartitioned my scard to specs and a full wipe including fastboot erase system -w Im not sure what that supSetup is all about (the Super does NOT own me) but I dont understand why you dont see that **** in Cyanogen. Not that he needs it
I mean, I got the ROM to run, but it quickly melted down into a pool of spoiled yogurt. The one good thing I got from SuperFroyo was I saved the wallpaper and made it the contact icon for an ice cream distributor.

Lol to each there own I guess. stick with your bloated yogurt then

Thanks.

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.

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

[rom request] Vanilla makes Sense...

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.....

hey stoney.....i would love to try it out...still looking for something different...and I never tried it when he was around...was digging his DesireZ, and am still running it to this day, even though i can't access internal memory...where can I get it?
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!

The only thing I miss from Sense is the camera app. Widgets etc. I never really cared for. The Sense camera is amazing though.

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.
Khanam also posted 2.3 in the original thread. This may help whoever wants to take this over.
khanam said:
found 2.3 in my office pc. its 77.25mb. here is the link. should work. flashing it was finicky when i flashed it way back so dont be surprised if you get FCs. also how i got it to work was by flashing it over cm6. maybe it was just me

Eye opener thread MIUI have you tried it??

Now I have flashed every rom that can be flashed since flashing for the epic has started and I must say I feel like an idiot never having flashed MIUI ROM... So sunday I flashed it and I must say there is so many fantastic things about it. the breakdown in battery use through the use of its own built in settings!
from launcher customization and speed again through its own settings... there is a lot more id like to discuss I think you should try it for yourself!
check out the youtube vids for yourself if you don't believe me! it has soo much potential in its current ALPHA state for our epics........
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952615
I think we should all try MIUI I think development is slowing down in general and not just in MIUI... for all epic roms I miss the constant checking everyday and not being dissapointed cause no update was posted on my current rom or others for that matter
I think the MIUI thread is dieing and well I am a new user to MIUI and I wish another dev could help out it is a fantastic ROM and even with the call bug from the CM6-7 bug where speaker needs to be toggled and the incoming call need to wait like 3 rings before you can pick it up I am sure with a little work these bugs can be fixed. I also wish colorize widget worked with MIUI I guess what I am asking for is for those of you who haven't tried MIUI try it and show your support by reporting bugs on the page for the DEV's
I never gave MIUI the light of day till sunday and by the way I am happy I did battery also is great with MIUI and TWS BUG IS NOT THERE! 2 days standby time in my house and 5% TWS

DUAL BOOT KERNEL FLASH AFTER FLASHING MIUI ROM
http://www.multiupload.com/GTUOUQFMNC
+1! I had tried every other rom except MIUI, untill yesterday. I do have to say though it sure is amazing! I'm not too in love with the launcher & no app drawer, so I'm using lpp, but other then that and a couple bugs, the rom is great! The look and feel is awesome.
I think the reason people aren't trying it as much, is because the thread isn't being updated with a changelog and what not, normal users may look at the title and see last time it was updated was on the 24th of feb (I believe). I know that's a reason I didn't even look in the thread until yesterday, turns out there is someone else workin on it and posting updates on it. You guys should go check it out.

See anything you dont like let us know...Btw i dont know why MIUI-DEV is down but our thread has been down almost an hour...
miui on superAMoLED screen! can't wait for a stable version! I use 4g often these days ever since sprint decided to put a tower in detroit. but when i'm done with school i'll be back home with no 4g, so i'll give it a run then. I hope MMS and bluetooth can be fixed. i'm more sicked for this rom than GB.

Nixo31, I am confused here. I know ahmgsk has been working on MIUI, and you are also. Are you guys working on it together? If not I think you guys should, also maybe ask him if you could take OP of MIUI thread in development until he becomes less busy, Like I stated before, reason people is not giving this a try as much is because the thread is not updated. I think once people seen it was being updated and worked on they would try it more!
Just a thought..

Well the Nexus S 4G comes out in about a week and a half, so that should help too.

Miui or cm7

So I'm in a debate right now, currently running miui 1.5.6 and I love it. Alot of things about it are nice simple and flawless , ui is simple to manage and has great little effects. But cm7 gb was my first rom I used and GPS worked fine unlike my miui atm, little things about miui are starting to tick me off even though its not 100% ready. ( pretty sure I read that some where on here). Anyways any thoughts on which one I should use as a daily? Cm7 easy to theme? I'm still new but open to learning. Thanks again.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Why would you ask others their opinion on which rom you should run? People that rum miui will tell you to choose, and the same for cm
Just try out all the roms, and see which one you like.
And you can go to evo 4g themes subforum for plenty of cm themes
If you like AOSP I'd say roll with cm7 as your daily driver, but keep in mind miui is plagued with most of the same bugs in CM7. There's a ton of theme starter guides out there it should be easy!
I wonder how many threads have this exact title?
Haha noobs right? Yes I'm ragging on myself but its whatever. And just looking for opinions on pros and cons of both from the "pros" out there. I normally don't have to post of this forum just because everything ( my questions/problems) have been answered already. But asking. And okay ill check it out thanks alot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MIUI has 4G. So if that's not important to you, yeah, I'd think about it. If you get 4G almost everywhere you go like I do, go with CM7.

Unfortunately, Tulsa doesn't have 4g, well they do but its only on a busy street called memorial, and it runs for like 3 miles or so. Other than that no, so sticking with MIUI would not be the worst idea. Just need to learn how to theme CM7. The "classic" look isn't for me. Prefer MIUI ui.

What up?
I can get a signal at 81 and Sheridan, and as far east towards BA that I can get the signal is 81 and Mingo.
But I would pick CM7.

So... you are telling us that you have MIUI on your phone right now and have been using it, and that you had CM7 as your daily driver already for an extended period of time? But even after using both as your daily driver you somehow still are unable to figure out which one you like and you want us to tell you which to use? Wow.
You are using MIUI now but you are clearly not happy because you long for CM7.
Switch to CM7.
There are you happy now? You have our permission to do what you clearly wanted to do in the first place.
BTW both MIUI and CM7 are buggy. Welcome to ASOP roms. If you can live without the minor bells and whistles of ASOP a Sense-based ROM is almost always more stable and better with your hardware(for example your videos look like crap on all ASOP roms cuz no one has figured out how to get the 720p recording to work).

Feel any better now? NOT asking you to tell me, just asking for opinions, Jesus. Just wanted pros and cons and I understand that they bug out.

Ask 10 different people, get 12 different responses. As you've noticed.
Point it only something you can answer for yourself.
Had my sultrySupersonic for less than a week, first ROM i loaded was Destroyer 2 (modded CM7 build). No complaints, no bugs (not sure what these bugs people speak of are). Took a little while to get it themed to how i like, but it's fantastic. I average 2.2 %/hr battery life.
When i saw my buddy running MIUI on his Dinc, i had to try it. LOVED it. The 2.3 build was actually buggy for me, and the 2.2 build was pretty laggy compared to CM7. Ultimately what killed it for me was the batt life. Nothing can compare to my D2 build on my Evo.
Every phone reacts differently, rock them both, play with it, let the Haters Hate. Only you can decide.
HaHa. Interesting thread!
I'm going to say try them back and forth, make a pro and con list on a piece of paper, then stick with MIUI! lol

Ha I love the MIUIs UI, and how you can choose some themes people have created. But all in all cm7 is working the best, battery life is flawless. GPS is on key. Still going back and forth but seems CM7 is on key for me. Just still learning on the theming part.

While not as invasive as themes in MIUI, the themes in the T-Mobile theme engine for cm7 will allow you to really customize the look to your liking.
My vote is for CM7. In my opinion it is more feature rich and less buggy. Only disadvantage is its not quite as "pretty" as MIUI, otherwise everything else is better for my use.
Tapa tapa tapa
IF, and I do mean if, they get 2.3 MIUI perfected I will switch back to that. I liked how it felt and looked.
But, having been using CM7 for a few months (I was not a fan of CM6), I am really starting to dig CM7. I don't think any other rom I have tried feels like a ROM that would have come on a phone. What I mean by that is, there aren't many bugs and it looks legit. The customization is pretty awesome too. I just wish CM had things like visitor mode, or some sort of sneaky mode where people couldn't look through your stuff if they pick up your phone. I don't like having to enter a code on my phone to get into it, but I hate that anyone can see anything if they pick it up.
