Froyo-hype

Hey, like everyone else I've been eagerly awaiting froyo. From everything I've read the performance improvement over 2.1 is ment to be great. Gotta ask if that's ment 2b true for wildfire? I've just finished testing modaco's 2.2 port against my backup of stock 2.1, both set up exactly the same, niether overclocked and both on stock kernels os benchmark and linpack show both to be almost identical? Can that be right?
Just to note... I'm not complaining bout modacos port, its a great Rom, really smooth and everything works great and big thanx to the dev.

If you want speed, compare it to openfire.
Sense gets the phone to its knees on both eclair and froyo. It's a big resource hog.

How can you back up the stock rom?

I dunno. Froyo is working amazing on my Galaxy S.
I'm just waiting for 2.2 or 2.3 on my gf's wildfire. Both these are suppose to optimize the phone so it performs faster in terms of processing.

Best sense ROM?

Just curious and wondering what is the best sense rom in terms of batter life?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I have virtuous running on one of the phones in the house, it runs great.

Lol just try the roms for yourself my friend and see which one you like

I could do that.. but id like to hear what the general public says before adventuring into the world of sense roms. I'm running virtuous Rom right now. It's okay. Seems little laggy. Should be faster on the g2 then the evo which i have in front of me as we speak. Id like to say the G2 is much faster than the evo.

Are you using the standard or advanced kernel, and if the latter what are you OC'ing your phone to? I'm using the standard kernel, and my phone doesn't seem laggy at all. There are the occasional moments of slowness, but nothing to the point where I would consider it troublesome to me.

I'm using the advanced kernel, overclocked to 1.0ghz. I like the TeamVillian Sense rom, cant stand the bugy landscape mode..

Does anyone know of a Sense-based ROM which has the Bluetooth A2DP bitpool size problem fixed?
Andre

Virtuous ROM 1.0.1 with Standard Kernel @ 1GHz for me. No lag what-so-ever and working great! lovin' it

The best Sense ROM is the one that uninstalls itself and loads CM7 or some AOSP variant

I'm using gingersense 2.3, so far so good

Id wait a few days as now Sense and Gingerbread work together so there are going to be alot of releases based on that.

does anyone know if there is word of a stock update to Gingerbread 2.3 for the Desire Z. and if there are going to be roms made with Sense and Gbread, will they be available in ROM Manager. I am very interested in this GingerSense. where is it available.
Thanks.

Suggestions for a solid/stable ROM -> So many to choose from

Hey xda,
I just got a HTC G2, straight of ebay. I'll be following the tutorials posted to perma-root, CID unlock and S-off (not using visionary).
My only question and concern is, just because I am new to this phone, apart from CM being at the top, what other roms are stable? fast? and reliable? (decent battery life, not too many fc's etc)
I'm very much interested in something with HTC Sense, but meh, am willing to compromise if its too buggy. I've been reading here and there that there are tons of problems with scaling etc when phones switches from portrait/landscape etc.
Any suggestions will be great! Thank you for reading this far!!

Sorry, but you're going to have to do what everyone else does. Try them out and decide for yourself.

Hello and welcome!
My suggestions:
If you want sense, look up Virtuous 1.0.2 for froyo. If you want sense 3.0, look up Virtuous Fusion 1.0.0.
If you want stock android, look up Virtuous G-lite 1.0.2.
All of the above ROMs are by the same dev, are very stable and I have used all of the above. Currently using G-lite because as much as I love sense, it does take alot of memory.
As posted before, try the ROMs for about a week each and see how you like them. It's all personal preference.

insertcoin is a nice mix between sense 2.1 and 3.0

I couldn't agree more; as far as ROMs go, rmk's are the most stable. CyanogenMod7 is actually extremely buggy still on the G2 (at least, when I used it a few weeks ago). While CM7 is probably the fastest ROM I've used, there are lots of little things that don't work correctly, and newer builds sometimes will break things that worked on older builds. I'm currently running G-Lite and I'm extremely satisfied.

Cm6.1.1 is nice and stable with decent battery life. It isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the myriad gingerbread releases but it gets the job done and can be tweaked to appear incredibly 'speedy' by using spare parts from the app market and Launcher Pro.

Ill throw my vote in there for Pyrorom. Its fast and is based off of CM7 if I remember correctly. I had tried a few, but as soon as I booted Pyro, I knew it was the one.
Good luck anyways.

virtuous g-lite is faster than cyanogenmod... check it out.

Try a stock rom! Or dive in and before you know it you will be flashing new roms every other day.

fwiw I have yet to find another ROM as stable as GingerVillain 1.5 with the 4.02.17 radio. Everything works perfect and I can get 18 hours battery life.
Tried Glite 1.02, super smooth, great ROM with the 4.30 radio BUT could not get the bluetooth to pair. Plus a few minor quirks with the camera flash not working. This is mostly due to the hw differences between the G2 and desire Z. I have a bell Can Desire Z
if u don't want sense...
If you have a G2, go for Glite 1.02 otherwise GV 1.5 is stable and can't be beat ..yet imo

Cm7 has been the only rom I stayed with. I tried sense roms and wanted to pull NY hair out, I simply just cannot stand sense.

If you're looking for a sense rom, I'd recommend insertcoin.
I'd also recommend trying out Miui and vanilla based Roms

In time, yep, will be flashing around here and there and i'll know for myself. I just wanted to know which ones are the best to start of with. I remember when i got my Milestone, man, i flashed all the bad roms first, had soo many problems.
Especially when ROM threads exceed 50 pages, Yikes!! Takes forever to go through them.
Thanks though!

What others roms are good but unity ? my phone doesn't last that much, battery goes down pretty quick without heavy use. no more than 14 hours .
Anything good non sense ?

Royal Ginger 3.0.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Well, I've been using HoneySense 8 released a few days ago and battery life is incredible. Give it a shot maybe? UI is awesome. Has some quirks yet though' but it's stable. Only problems I've found is the innability to use front-facing camera in the stock app and well, what everyone is talking about in the thread, not being able to use wi-fi calling.
EDIT: OH sorry, if you're looking for anything other than sense, MIUI is my other choice. Used it for a few months back when I had a T-Mo G2/desire Z. I don't know the specs on how it works on the MyTouch 4g, but there's already an official release and some mods out there~ look em up.

my progression:
CM7, Unity, Royal Ginger and now MIUI
Loved Royal Ginger but I like the camera, messaging and dialer on MIUI so i'm staying with it. Plus you can sent MMS on WIFI with MIUI.

MIUI all the way. using the demonspeed mod and TDJ's kernel, its just awesome. great battery life(my best was 23hrs on a full charge), performs very well, and has many themes for customizing. check it out

Derek offers a excellent ROM, and he's quite helpful with your problems(unless you're rude), but besides that it's my top recommendation.

but i think MIUI is unstable sometime
especially when im playing music ,it break down and i just cant shut the power down since it doesnt response ,the only way to solve is to remove battery

My first rom was virtuous unity(sence3.0).. great one! then I tried virtuous doubleshot(sence3.0) and now using MexDroidmod (based on Cyanogen?) Fast and good battery life. Now I need to figure out what next lol

[Q] Sense 4A

I was just curious about what Sense 4A brings to the table. I've had my Glacier running on Virtuous Affinity for a while now, which comes with Sense 3.5. What does Sense 4A do that 3.5 doesn't? Or is it the same thing with a different name because it goes hand in hand with ICS?

I believe its a new looking sense but a slightly stripped down version of sense 4 seemed pretty stable when I ran it, only way to truly see what it brings.... is to run it, would highly recommend it. devs worked extremely hard on venomous.

It's a much slimmer version of sense. It's an alpha build so its not really ready to use as a daily driver. It shows alot of promise for an alpha build though.

It's basically a glorified version of Sense 4.0. I usually use SetCPU to bench my roms and it was comparable to AOSP Gingerbread. It's main focus is speed but there is plenty of eyecandy. Unlike EQjunkie, i think sense 4 can easily be used as your daily driver provided you don't need to use the camera.

That right there would be a problem. The camera, that is. I wouldn't flash creamed glacier for the longest time due to the camera issue. I'm running MIUI V4 right now and its amazing. It'll be hard to pry me from it, but those screenshots a little further up look mighty nice...

I ran the Virtuous Sense 4a rom for a while. It seems like whenever I decide that I never use the camera, I need it for something so I went back to creamed glacier.
I was very impressed with the virtuous rom though and I have been watching very closely for an update. It is crazy fast and I got the best battery life I have ever had with any android phone. The latest version of Creamed Glacier is also giving me good battery life so far. It is a good time to be a MT4G owner.

The same thing happens to me with the camera. All you can do is sit back and wait. That was the initial story with ICS ROMs, and now it applies to Sense 4.0/4A ROMs.
...Sad thing is I have no patience. As long as Wifi and 90% of other things work, I'll probably flash it later tonight.
