I haven't really seen much mentioned about it, so maybe I'm more bothered by it than you guys, but the newest Hero leak's rosie is missing the ability to grab the thing at the bottom and quickly flip through all the screens. Seems kinda ironic to start calling it TouchFLO after you take out the part that makes it touch flow!
To me, that's one of the things that made it so sweet. With out it, its just another 7 screen home (minus the fact that you get the widgets with it and all). Using 6 swipes to flip through your home is annoying as hell.
But that aside, it still is (for the most part) the same speed as the beta version (when ported to the G1, that is), and still has no landscape mode. Taking those in to consideration, you basically have the same thing, but with one less feature.
HTC you f'ed up.
Sorry, I needed to rant.
I also find my self missing that feature.
Oh well, you can't have everything.
lol only thing I miss is the reliability of all other ROM's not Rosie related....
I think JACHero 2.3.3 is the best ROM which is out atm.
Rosie is useable, and really, I never used this thing at the bottom, it was too fast.
I only use 3 of the 7 hoemscreen:
The middle one for icons and 2 toogles.
Middle-left for WeatherWidget
Middle-right for Bookmarks widget.
That's all. And with this configuration, Rosie works really fluently.

Pretty much this.
i love froyo! its ultra fast and ultra smooth, but.... these threads seem to always have "buts." anywho, custom roms have dominated my phone from the beginning and the small things(spare parts/extra mods), as others have mentioned, have a pretty big impact on usability and convenience. whether or not these small things warrant a change back to custom roms depends on the users needs and wants.
for myself, im probably going to switch back to a 2.1 custom rom now that ive tasted the frozen goodness. its quite flavorful, but its missing the sprinkles (just my spoiledness). this may be the "ultimate" current rom for some which needs nothing else, but my palette yearns for an extra oomph. dont get me wrong, im not bagging google in any way, i just feel like ive grown heavily dependent on the extras the mods have been so gracious to add.
for the record, i love google and i love how theyve given devs such an awesome platform. cheers for everyone in this community who feels the same.
Just curious what "extras" have you grown heavily dependent on?
Everyone acts like they didn't know it wasn't gonna have those extra goodies. I for one can do without those few for imo the best stock rom ever

Cyanogen 2.1 vs stock froyo = froyo ftw
Cyanogen 2.2 vs stock froyo = cyanogen 2.2 ftw
Cyanogen will probably have a FroYo build out within the week
believe it or not, trackball wake has been pretty big. a small option, but something i use all the time. also, having the battery percentage on the notification bar, customizable led lights and rate, black desire notification (which i think can be morphed?), reboot from the shutdown menu, ability to hide pictures in contacts just to name some.

For trackball wake. Download screenmodwidget put it on launcher, set it to the middle setting and now trackball wakes. Not perfect but works....
As far as battery percentage download battery indicator ....
I for one like browser the most on my phone, so naturally I like froyo cause of the full flash and speed of the browser ....
I also think its noticeably faster than cyanogen 507 t2. Now with froyo and cyanogen we will be in heaven.
I love CM's features, but one of froyo's features alone -being able to change the language by swiping on the space bar- is more important to me than all of them put together.
I can't live without it now.

wow! i guess i shouldnt be so surprised at how fast everyones working on froyo. thanks paul! i suppose i can go without for a few days..
FroYo!
Im sticking with FroYo!
Trackball colors already work, sms pop up changes the colors of the stock mms app and gmail notification changes the colors of the stock gmail app although this one needs an update as its buggy. I would think sometime soon trackball alert will work from the market without requiring root, same for nexus torch now that the video camera can leave the led on.It really seems like theres no reason to root anymore with everything google is providing access too. Main reaon i rooted before was to use wifi tether but they even give us that now too so I will likely just use a de-odexed factory froyo that I can theme and leave everything else alone. I love the battery life and the lack of "quirks" that the stock roms provide. I always seem to have terrible battery life and missed calls/other flukes with the Nexus when I use other ROMS than the factory one.

Any application that has an LED modification setting will change the color of the trackball depending on what color you direct to do whatever. The trackball only lights up with the altered color when the screen is off.

*UPDATE*
I have updated my thread in development with a download and guide for installing TouchWiz UX on our Tab 10.1's.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15516290#
Okay this is getting ridiculous...!
Currently there is a TouchWiz UX rom avaliable for...
Asus EeePad:

Acer A500:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1143368
Tab 10.1v:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155023
All of which appear to be based off a 3.1 Rom for OUR device... So why is it I can't find a single thing about installing 3.1 TouchWiz UX on OUR 10.1!?
i feel you brother this is crazy no devs i guess on the 10.1 i need to start going to school and learn my self lol
That's okay. I'm pretty meh regarding TouchWiz. Has kept me away from sammy phones. I know, ROMS, but when you lean over the bleeding edge, there are no ROMS.
Just saw this video that shows all the features of touchwiz. I don't care how much people want to know it. If half the stffntheynjust showed works without force closing I'll beeee soooool stoked. It impressed the pants off me. http://youtu.be/hlLP3RXkmUQ
" hang on to your dookie, its about to get spooky "
Yay! Managed to get it booting on my tab.
I've been using it about 15 minutes and I love it! The book reader is great... I love the bounce scrolling and the new colours are very nice. Everything has a better feel and still seems super fast.
I might get some instructions up tomorrow for how I did it. Bed time for me now though.
The thing I want to know is if it has improved video playback.
Sent from my Fascinate with MIUI Gingerbread
I'm looking forward to the Allshare app, official DLNA support, the Media hub, and the mini app tray/bar.
It definitely adds another level to the tablet and will impress many consumers. I haven't actually owned anything Samsung beside cameras but I'm impressed so far with this tablet.

I have a 3G Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Touchwiz (sold in Sweden).
While I don't mind some of the apps that Touchwiz brings I hate their OS-wide changes, while iOS-style overscrolling doesn't really change anything their altering of default UI element does. They have changed buttons, dialogs, menus, fonts and more making many applications look odd as they don't have the same design as Samsungs own apps.
They have also changed they background of the status bar so when it is in "light out" mode it is still very noticeable (default is completely black, Samsung is grey with a light border on top). This is very annoying when watching movies!
All in all I rather be without Touchwiz.
It's only a theme - it'll be customizable at some point

My only annoyance with TouchWiz UX so for is that it has that gray bar at the bottom rather than black... I get that it fits there theme but black still blends in the the tablet better... We'll be able to change that later though once the rom is deodex..
Aside from that I love all the other changes. Everything just looks more 'styled' and less 'neon' which I love.
Their eBook application is the best app I've ever used on Android.. except maybe Tasker..
Social Hub app is a great Twitter/Facebook integration.
Their widgets are very cool except they seem to slow down the homescreen a tad due to their large size (don't worry! you can always remove them )
The mini apps are so very cool. You can bring up a little calculator/note taking app/calendar/and more and move it to the side of the screen and keep interacting with whatever app you're running under it while it stays on the screen! Awesome feature that Google should definitely look at adding.
Copy and Paste now has a large clipboard that you can build up multiple items on!
There are even problems in Honeycomb 3.1 that are now fixed
e.g. In 3.1 stock if you want to change your lockscreen wallpaper to a custom image from your gallery you had to go to settings> display>screen settings>lockscreen wallpaper now you can do it from the top-right Plus or long-press home screen
The browser is actually smoother and handles pinch gestures much better and has some cool new features you can enable in settings.
There is motion control like tilting your tablet to change homescreens when placing a widget
The quick control toggles are much faster and to get into Settings is now only 2 taps rather than 3.. another thing Honeycomb should have had from the start.
And much more things that I'm missing... This is definitely an upgrade.
I'm uploading a rom now and will update my Thread in development when it's uploaded so everyone can flash TouchWiz UX.

Update with Download and Guide
Hey I have updated my Development post with a download and guide for flashing TouchWiz to our Tab's... Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15516290#
Any update on when touchwiz will officially be released for us? I know Samsung set the hard date of "coming soon", but I didn't know if there was any further update.
The screenshot button is useless and gets in the way. If the screenshot app was combined with the note app it would be great. You would pop up the notes and annotate whatever is on the screen and save it all.
why is everything so fricken big? I dont see the reasoning behind all the text being like 90pt font...
What does it do? I tried turning it on while using DesiredInc and nothing happened.
It's supposed to to make the icons/widgets on your home screen tilt when you tilt the phone. It doesn't always work for me and it's kind of annoying when it does so I never use it.
-xdadevelopers-user
I've also seen it get stuck on after you turn it off, and it doesn't always return to "flat" when the phone is flat, so you're stuck looking at a screen full of widgets and icons that are all jacked to the side like some ghetto sleigh with hydraulics.
It's a lame 3D gimmick. It was cool for the first time seeing my phone do it and then annoying thereafter so I never use it anymore.
Well, mine is stuck on, but literally nothing has change. Naturally, I want to see the effect, even if it's horrible. What rom supports it?
I know it works on Nils business gingersense. I wouldn't call it 3d so much as a waterbed effect, it simply bends the perspective of the clock and icons. Best way I can describe it
3D
It's a feature that makes your friends go WHOA!!! Apart from that, it's just dumb.
I enable it to show off my phone sometimes, but thank goodness you can kill it if you want to.
I personally like newtoroot's Incredible 3D v1.1. I like the rom for other reasons besides the 3D tilt, but that was pretty cool too. Didn't have any problem with turning the 3D off an on.
Its probably more impressive on evo 3d but nothing amazing still.

Okay, maybe not as dramatic as the thread title suggests, but this is regarding the possibility of transforming the menu screens of our G2s to black.
I'm sure I'm not the only one out there, but I'm a big fan of black menus on my gadgets and computer systems. Howevevr, we have no such luck with the default LG UI on our G2s. As we all know, the default LG UI is predominantly white. Things like the settings menu, gallery, pop up notification windows, etc are all in white.
We have a bunch of talented modders here who have done some amazing work on navbars and status bars and icons, so I'd just like to know the possibilities of including a feature to turn all the system UI menus to black instead of white. I know that AOSP ROMs like CM already have that feature, but I'm not quite ready to switch over yet, without sacrificing some of the LG-exclusive features.
Just throwing out a request on behalf of the black menu lovers out there, and have an awesome weekend everyone!

I'll dig in to the settings, contacts and phones apks and see how hard it'll be, and either put out a mod (for VZW deodexed users), or strictly for malladus.

Sweet. Malladus is pretty awesome so far, Blacked out would be even better, if for nothing else than the Settings and Phone/Contacts apps. I started digging around, it'll take me a bit. changed a bunch of styles in phone and contacts and all it got me was some nice looking black tabs. I didn't dig much further than that though tonight.

I'm sure it's going to be a pain in the a$$ just like it was for stock Droid X (GingerBlur). Even though in the end I did end up getting it all blacked out, I hated working on that thing for that exact reason. There's so many things to change, and in so many different places. Plus, back then I had a lot more motivation, and it helped that I had some collaboration with travp624, unkleduke, and kirbnite, but that was almost 3 years ago...lol
I hope you guys get it figured out; I wouldn't mind trying it out. I'd most likely just end up going back to CM10.2 since I like stock-like Android better than I do skinned Android, but that's just me. Once I got the Gnex, I just couldn't go back to skinned android

Please tell me you have something other than a toggle in the quick settings for "screen off/lock". i like not having to look at the screen, and just knowing where the status bar is to double tap. Although, i could survive with a long press option for the Recents button though.

It's not a toggle, I would be annoyed by that too...lol
It requires running a third party launcher though. I myself run Nova launcher. You can create a task with Tasker, or if you don't want to pay for Tasker, or don't already own it, you can use "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
Once you set either Tasker or Screen Off and Lock, you can set the action as a gesture in the Launcher. I have mine setup with a double tap anywhere on the screen to "knock off"; It works really well.

Bad part is, that only works when you are on the launcher. I own Nova prime (or whatever the premium version is), and Tasker as well, but right now I'm completely hooked on Aviate. Eventually CM will port/create "double tap statusbar to turn screen off/lock". They already have knock on, which you would think would be the hardest one, ensuring that there is a listener when the screen is off and such.
