Awesome can't wait to get my gingy on!
looks no different then stock rooted and deodexed gingerbread and mine runs just as fast
It's made by Drew Garen and hes also got a blurless rom. Here is a link to his rom page
http://drewgaren.com/DrewGaren/Roms.html
I have tried both of them and they seem to be a bit buggy now but you have to understand they are the first GB roms. There is also a Rubix for the gingerbread leak, heres the link for that
http://alldroid.org/tabid/40/g/posts/m/10156/rubiX-Blurry-Bread.aspx#post10156
Actually drod already released a rom for gb, called in blurrybread, I have it on my phone its great got all his speed tweaks from rubix in it but he left alot of blur because of the positive reviews. All the other bloat is gone though.
How is the rubix?

save yourself some time and don't flash drew garen's gingerbread roms. they are buggy as ****...random reboots...an unbalanced mix of AOSP and BLUR that weight each other down. anyone can move apks around and implement fixes that other devs have worked hard on and call it a custom rom. just thought i'd try to save everyone from a pointless sbf session.

It has been super stable for me, have you tried data wipe?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
yes, sbf'd to stock .340, flashed leaked gb, wiped, flashed gingeraid 3.6. reboots during titanium backup restore. wiped, reinstalled TB, still random reboots during restore.
Never understood using a Rom where half the apps dont work. Whats the benefit if the phone only works half the time.
Another buggy ROM, throw this on the pile with the others.
Thanks for the work Drew.... It's running very smooth and stable here for an early rom on GB/DX. I also have this theme (Gingercomb with a touch of Juice 2.3) installed from Juicemane. Again!! This is a very nice start...
Well ive been running this for 28 hour, no freezes, lockups, or force closes so far. Im ready for Lib gb, or tranq gb though, but this is a good start. Tip adw makes it even better.

Just looked at your track record on XDA here... not much helping, lots of negative comments. If you think you can make a better blur-less ROM in the stretch of a week i would be willing to give it a try.

No, not lots of negative comments-truth. And I wouldn't slap together a rom in the race to be first because it does no one any good except waste time all in order to feed your ego.

So I've been away from the DX scene for a while since I reverted to stock. I see there's a lot of ROMs out now, and they mostly look the same to me.
Can anyone offer some advice that will help me decide? I don't care as much about customizing right now b/c I don't have tons of time. I use LauncherPro, so I probably won't care about the launcher with the ROM.
I just want speed and stability, because my DX is acting up right now.
I use Liberty 1.5 however I don't like the change of the boot logo so I changed it back to the Motorola boot logo but kept the boot animation using liberty toolbox. I used it's overclocking function in settings because I didn't want to pay for an app to do it for me. I'm at a stable 1.25 Ghz.

Liberty is great that is what I primarily use. If you want speed and stability, also look at rubix focused 1.9.7 or darkslide 4.2
ROMs are really a personal preference of what you like. I recommend reading up on each you are interested in and try out each one

Why not Fission?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah, I've tried reading up on them, but they all sound really rather much the same when you look... at least to me.
What do Rubix, Darkslide and Fission got over the others/each other?
Darkslide is a heavily themed rom right out of the gate. Very stable but a little slow even when overclocked imo. Rubix, Apex, Fission, and liberty are in fact very similar and fast blurless roms usually with great battery life. The differances are mainly in the framework tweaks and settings the individual dev put into each. That said although very similar some run better than others on different phones. For example liberty is extremely popular and gets rave reviews. For me however it is extremely buggy with lock ups and reboots even after a clean install post sbf. But, I run Rubix with no issues at all and get full 24 days plus out of my battery. I may sound biased but just stating that is how the roms panned out for me. You may have the best running rom for your phone on liberty or apex, who knows. Make a nandroid so you can restore in seconds then try each rom as I do. Run each at least two days allowing then to build cache and run at peak. Then simply keep our reload the winner for your phone. Great thing about the x is plenty of choices.

When you get tired of fc's reboots and freezes, go to the darkslide. Its fully functional, as in everything works, and it's fast and doesn't slow down over time. Also great battery life.

Coming from a newb who like to tweak the look almost daily, I like Liberty. With the Liberty Toolbox you can adjust themes, install add ons-blur, etc, and do so much. I think the toolbox alone adds another level of on the fly tweaks that other rom builders should follow.

Just curious. I was thinking of going back. My phone used to fly on 2.1. They only thing I did not like was lack of flash player capability.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Until we got the open source kernel with BLN, I was strongly thinking about downgraded (and rather regretted upgrading so soon), due to the loss of BLN. Now, my phone is at least as fast, has all the same features (lacked GPS then, and still do now ), but also all the new Froyo features like push notifications (push = infinitely better for battery!).
I went back to stock 2.1 (EA28) after using 2.2 with superclean 2.9.2. So far, I'm impressed with 2.1, check out the improvements:
1) Browser scrolling is much smoother!
2) Battery life is great without doing bunch of hacks each boot!
3) POP email client actually works correctly and doesn't snap to top of list constantly!
4) SMS looks much better!
5) GPS locks faster than any 2.2 ROM!
Negatives of 2.1:
1) slightly more UI lag sometimes... but not bad
2) Google maps doesnt fully 3D rotate
Overall, 2.1 is better. I'm waiting for official 2.2, hopefully it will address the bugs in the leak. Perhaps it will never come, and then we'll all never buy Samsung again.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I made a post about this yesterday. Every time I mention 2.1 performs better overall than Froyo i get attacked my developers. Bottom line is that Battery/Performance just aren't as good for me on 2.2 as they were on 2.1. Also apparently memory management is supposed to be better but tasker constantly reports low memory and when I clear the RAM it hardly goes down until reboot.
Im back on 2.1. I got sick of constantly battling wakelocks. I will flash Nameless when v4 drops though.
If i go back, I will Root, CWR, and debloat, debing myself. I will also look into an AOSP voodoo kernel for voodoo lagfix and sound. I am considering trying this out. If I do I will let y'all know if the kernel and voodoo like 2.1, i know the rest of the stuff works as i have done it before, and now that we have a fixed CWR, even better, plus i really like the feeds and updates widget.
Went back to 2.1 myself as well

Honestly, after jumping onto the Froyo boat so late in the game from using DJ05 forever, and with kernels popping up, Froyo is as fast if not faster than 2.1 has ever been. Battery life is the same, and the extra 2.2 features are awesome.

Battery life almost doubled when I switched to 2.2 and it's running quite a bit faster. Best of all is the working gps and flash! Never going back.

Being the noob I am,, so far I've only personally experienced the 2.1 stock verizon bloat load and now SC 2.9 with voodoo. All I can say is WOW,, there is no comparison between the performance of those two,, the SC absolutely blows away the old stock 2.1. So eh no, I dont see ever going back to 2.1.
Now that being said, I've never tried a 'debloated' 2.1 version of a load of any kind, maybe running voodoo filesystem structure,, so maybe that would be even faster,, idk.. But at this point I am so happy with it that I really I dont want to mess with it
I've been back and forth and ultimately I would have to say that a ComaVolted SC 2.9.2 is a lot better than the eclair version of the phone. I get killer battery life and my phone actually works the way it was meant to. I don't think I will be going back to 2.1.
My battery life has increased by a great fold ever since I switched to 2.2. Everything else has far surpassed 2.1 from my experince.
The only reason I would ever go back to 2.1 was if I had to return my phone.

I have reverted back to D101 so many times I lost count. In my opinion there are many things both benifitial and negative for both 2.2 and 2.1. Personally I go for stability, but I have finally got a stable 2.2. And I actually like TW.
D101 is still a good build in my opinion. I would still be perfectly happy running it, but theming and kernels are much more fun.

When I first started all the customization, I was very hesitant. I ran just the Stock EB01 debing/debloat for a while and had zero issues, with the exception that the vibration length changed from 2.1 to 2.2.
Just use Odin 1.3 and follow the instructions if you haven't done it before.
Edit: I am running the Superclean 2.9.2 myself with all the TW aspects added back in, even the live wallpapers. I like the stock look and feel, but I also like many of the Superclean features.
Personally I would hold off flashing anything new until NAMELESS drops. It should be within the next few days and may finally give us the 100% froyo experience we have been waiting for along with edify scripting and the new cwm.
Until then im going to stick with my personally debloated, debinged, detouchwiz-ed , EA28.

Well, glad thats just you, personally.

EC10 is about 70% binary identical to EB01.
I'm currently running CM7, I haven't tried many different roms with this phone, the others I had on my phone at least(besides CM7) were Froyo(stock/rooted) and rooted GB. What other custom roms would be good for me to try, for example, if I want to keep hdmi functionality and 720p recording etc. Is there an AOSP rom where I can keep that functionality?
Liberty .9 is pretty smooth and has the HDMI and 720 p recording down, as well as being very customizable (liberty customizer prompts at first boot to choose which features asop and blur you wish to have).
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I'm currently running DarslideX. It's a GB based prerooted rom. Has hdmi support, as do most GB builds. Been on it about 2weeks now, very stable, some blur, most bloat removed. There are a couple people making custom themes, sliders, etc for it. You can find it over at mdw.

I've had liberty and apex and the rooted leaked gingerbread but I have been happiest with cyanogenmod. Just waiting for HDMI.

Cm7 is very stable. I update with the nightly every day. I do have to flash the camera fix to make YouTube work and I also flash the dx2 sound pack from team black hat app although they took it off the app. Wish there was a good HDMI fix already but that's the only thing that would really make cm7 any better for me.
DX+CM7
I'm currently using MIUI and besides the questionable battery life, I love it. My phone feels completely different, in a good way. It's also very smooth and haven't run into any problems yet.
I've been using Liberty v0.9 since it came out. Very smooth, customization is there, everything works... Best rom I've used. Had a problem the first time I loaded it. Re-downloaded it and data wipe fixed it. Liberty toolbox is just as good as team blackhat app.
I'm running Liquid now, i looked at Darkslide X, my phone isn't activated yet, and wanted to know if i have to switch back to stock to get it activated(i may flash to a local company, not Verizon). I might try Liberty.

Agreed 100% MIUI so far has been absolutely wonderful. I would agree though about the battery life issue. Prior to MIUI I was running an early leaked build of Froyo, FroyoDynamite, with SetCPU active on stock kernel I was getting around 2 days of battery life. With MIUI I'm lucky to get a full day.
But everything is super smooth, and it is absolutely beautiful, and the ability to change themes on the fly is amazing. I would agree, it's like a brand new phone to me again.
So is it worth it going from liberty 2.01 to liberty gb .9? I've been holding off because I finally got my dx to run nice with minimal random reboots. I'd love to be on 2.3 but If its still unstable I'll stick with this.

Liberty .8 was good. I then went on to try other ROMs. I avoided APEX because of the bluetooth issue. Right now I am back on rooted 596. CM4DX blew up on me on build 23 and I have been staying away.
I'm trying to find out which ROMS do not have the in-call bluetooth volume issue. I am not getting very many answers though. I wish there was a list of ROM's that do not have the bluetooth issue.
i love this ROM. tried a few others, but wanted a clean ROM with limited theme-ing. GPS works great. battery seems better. only thing that was missing was Google Talk with video capability, but found that add-on which is flashable through CWM. i feel like i have the perfect phone now. i'm a newbie, so couldn't post this on the development threads, but THANK YOU toadlife!!!

X2.... First ROM I have ever installed!
Awesome Rom without a doubt, been running since it came out. Usually Jump Around Trying them all out. Happy Here!!! Keep up the Good Work!!!
I almost started a thread like this last week, because I've used a lot of GB roms, ever since they started leaking. CleanGB is easily the best one out there. Everything about my phone always works now. That's a nice feature to have in a ROM. Unless the Epic is your second phone, or you don't do anything important ever, reliability should always come first. CleanGB is what the Epic should have been from the manufacturer.
Everything that should be there, without anything that shouldn't.
Super reliable - everything works.
Great battery life.
Nice and fast, with no slow downs for me.
A clean, subtle, and improved theme.
What more could you ask for?
Yea.. I just installed this ROM and love it so far..
I'm looking to install JUST the 10lock mod that's compatible with this ROM..
do anyone have a link for it??
all the ones I see are themed.. I don't really want to theme anything.. I just want the mod..
Please help if you can..
Thanks,
This is the first ROM I installed. I resisted b/c I don't want another time sink. But Toadlife is right. CleanGB is for people who just want their phone to work.
I realized today that I LIKE my phone. Before, I was really disapointed with it.
THANK YOU TOADLIFE.

have it running on the 3 epics in my household and we love this rom. great battery buttery smooth and quick.
Have shied away from custom ROMs due to issues introduced and been on rooted stock but this sounds like it's worth giving a shot. So far so good with everything working.
My favorite rom for sure! Stable, fast, and great battery!
put this on my phone last night and it fixed all of the issues i was having from the other 2 roms i was having and the data was running so much faster.
think this is the only rom i'll be running from here on out
Ok so I know every one has a different reason for why they like a certain rom.
We have great devs here I have tried the following
Legendary
Acs
Clean Gb
All of them rock and are all different as they are similar.
If you have tried more than one tell me why you stuck with it over the others.
I know the hardcore ACs and Legendary ppl will vote for theirs but only chime in if you have tried more than one. even if the other is not on my list..
Maybe this discussion will help me choose and maybe help other also.
I personally like the "close to stock" roms...don't get me wrong I've done my fair share of flashing to the "extreme" but there doesn't seem to be many headaches with the "close to stock roms" ....just my ¢2

This is exactly the information I am looking for and am still going to try to dig up . I hope that there is such a thread and that is why this did not take. . .or maybe that the forums are so bustling that there are no less than productive awesomeness going on behind the curtains. . .or hopefully because of the holiday or something because it would be a shame if such a useful thread died a lonely death because there was no evaluating releases thread.
Have no idea. . .just hoping it is as easy to find as the OP intended . . .if not i hope I come back after I was forced to find this info on my own.
I would love some non loyalist (or even loyalists to some extent but not flooding) thread like this.
Thanks OP for at least trying.
Edit: Ok . . .so maybe I was a bit premature in my . . . . .rant. Sorry if this is the case.
I ran Legendary 4.0.1 since it was released and found it to lack nothing. I just switched to ACS 5.1 because the list of mods fit more with my preferences as well as I like the theme better.
Running legendary rom since v3 or so. Why? cause everything just seems to work.
For the theme, I flashed ics v1 on top of legendary rc1 and everything seems to work ok.
It's tough to find a rom with ACS/Legendary features that uses a no-theme approach like the clean GB rom. I'm on Legendary pre-RC because of the theming... and yes, I understand a different one can be flashed on top of it, but this seems to cause more problems than not from experience.
Anyone here remember Energy roms from the WM days? The cook offered them in no less than 6-10 flavors at a time with different kernel builds, homescreen utilities, themes, etc. Is this the only way to please both the "stock look high performance" and "themeed complete rom" crowds?
Not sure if you call this an EI22 Rom but çm7 is rocking my phone as we speak. I also liked starsky rom very reliable and great performance. CPK's Urban Tom is great yet there seems to be A ram leak which cause freezing. Not sure of the cause though, not blaming cpk or the IAP kernel though w/o proof.

personally i use ICS 5.5 and CM7 because With the devs for ACS i know im in good hands. If a bug arises they fix it almost immediately. As for why i use CM7 thats not even a question IMO. It is the fastest rom you can put on this phone, and the only reason i have a backup rom is for when I need to use things that CM7 cant do simply because they havent been added yet (the number is getting smaller quickly.). I also would recommend trying out CompKids rom because it is a work of art. He tends to not update as much as a lot of the other roms but thats simply because there are a lot of other projects he is working on. But whats great about it is that it has tweaks and code that no other roms have. If you really want a stock feel though i think its safe to stick with Legendary Rom or even just Clean GB. Ive tryed both and though they lacked the theme customization I wanted they were incredibly stable and fast.
I was running Legendary Rom since switching from ACS Frozen Froyo rom. For some reason, the last two versions of Legendary did not agree with my Epic as there was a significant rotation lag. I switched over to ACS ICS for that reason, found that it resolved my rotation lag issue, liked the theme but most importantly all the functions I need to work work with ICS. CM7 still does not have WiMax working, which I use from time to time so it won't be flashed until then (run CM7 on my Nook Color).

Energy was as best as you got on WM. I liked the choices you had as far as the UI. But nothing beats Android OS in my mind.
I'm running SleeperROM for its stability and excellent battery life. It's a little bland as far as looks go, but I will sacrifice looks for performance. But I have put the nebula theme over it, and laid down Roboto font. This thing is a beast!

So far using stock OTA EI22 is the worst smart phone experience I've ever had. Did they even test this before releasing it?
As for the roms I usually flash... I like roms that is closet to stock as possible due to liking the stock widgets and stock apps. The only stock app that annoys me is nascar, sprint football, hd games store, Asphalt 5, and Telenav.
I'll probably be switching over to CM once all the bugs are squished, and I'll end up buying launcher pro plus for the widgets (I've heard they're really high quality).
EI22 is likely the last major update for our phones, and anything other than bug fixes is out of the question. If we are lucky, we'll get an official bug fix to EI22.

I'm waiting for the freezing issue to get ironed out before I can go back to Urban. I really want to!
