Woohoo I finally rooted! So...

Ok I rooted last night and it's much easier than I thought! I'm not savvy with modifying stuff but it went pretty much without a hitch!
I have a few questions that I did search for but I didn't come up with any results that answer them... maybe I didn't word my phrases correctly...
I am using Ava froyo and like it, however cyanogen sounds cool with no sense and all. But I'm reading that it's AOSP. I know that means android open source, but can I still install it?
Also, what's the difference between 6.1 and 6.1 nightly?
Sorry for being such a NOOB but hey... I'ma noob!

Yes you can install it and the difference between 6.1 and 6.1 nightly is he comes out with a nightly every few days or weeks(this is tested by beta testers) that has bug fixes taken care of new features and things that he wasnt able to get to work before like 4G. Hope this helps!
[EDIT] Also if you decide to flash cyanogens rom it will replace the rom you are running which is Ava Froyo. I have also never been a fan of AOSP roms because I love Sense but I am sure they are faster due to the fact that sense is not incorrporated in the ROM. I have also heard that cyanogens is going to have some pretty kick ass features on his next rom like HDMI out unlocked.

So which would you recommend? The most recent nightly? Or do I install the regular one and then the nightly?
Also, I do understand that it will replace Ava froyo. I've been following the noob root guide to the letter! Lol
Thank you Adam

the most recent nightly (12/17) its the best until cm7 starts
nightly link http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?type=nightly&device=supersonic
and don't forget to flash gapps after the rom http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip

if u wanna give a non aosp rom a shot, try mikfroyo 4.1 with netarchy's 4.2.2 kernal...very, very fast and smooth, plus ya got the 4g and hdmi out if that matters to you, you can also flash calkulins remove sense zip

I heard for newer hardware aosp has some camera and 4g issues and etc? correct?

Not a problem. I am also very new to this stuff and have alot of noobish questions. Everyone here (for the most part) are very helpful, so if I can pass it on I will!

Ok I was browsing the forums and saw my post was back up near the top. Just thought I'd update... I am now using the latest Cyanogen with gapps and am absolutely loving it. I can't say it enough, it's just amazing!
It's so customizable, so... excellent!
I'm testing out battery life, which is important to me, and so far it seems to be great!!
I wish I had done this sooner!!

Recommedation Required: Best Gingerbread Custom ROM

I've been using Micromod's v.19 GB ROM for about a month now, however, it's becoming more apparent that it's not very bug free as I use it more. The bugs seem to be increasing, I get more app crashes and weird bugs the more I use it.
I haven't tried a ROM based on the CM7 nightlies yet. Does anyone have a recommendation for any of the Gingerbread custom ROMs?

I've been tempted to move to LeoGingerBread ROM. It's based on AOSP with CM7 filling in the missing parts and is customizable through leoparts. Seems to be a complete package.

So flash another rom and see for yourself..

Micromod is a nice rom but has got a lots of bugs and is not as stable. Now answer to your question - it's really a personal preference, I am using CM7 nightlies since a month, its been improving and updating almost everyday, getting better with each iteration. Again, its a personal preference, but why don't you just try downloading those roms with gingerbread and try them for a few days one by one... may be you will find one which suits your needs.

I find CM7 really slow, compared to some Froyo ROMs (i.e. Enomther). Even LeoGingerbread is slow, as it includes CM7's framework (as of the actual version).

I've been very pleased with Micromod's Gingerbread Custom CM7 Mod. The only issue I have is occasional resets, but it sounds like that's a problem with other CM7 ROMs as well.
BTW, does anyone know if FM radio is working on any of the other CM7 Gingerbread ROMs? That's the main reason I chose Micromod's version over the others.

Using Leo's ROM now. Wait for 0.9.2 and flash (currently there's a bug in Apps2SD). It's a mix of AOSP and CM7.
Didn't encounter any weirdness yet.

I'm agree with you. I've been using MicroMod CM 7 v1.3 for almost a month and it works very well. It's too bad that MM left us for another phone :-(
But, thanks for your great effort MicroMod :-D

I personally like Geo's GRH55 build. Fairly stock, but it's speedy and has trackball awake - the only killer feature I needed.
[ROM] Gingerbread (GRH55), Deodexed, rooted, busybox, battery%, TB alert/wake 2/11/11
On the downside, HQ Youtube is not working on it, but it appears everything else is so far.

[Q] The "Right" Rom

Hey guy I'm sure that there's been other questions and posts about the question I am about to post but I need the answer really quickly.
I've been using Typhoon CyanogenMod7 Rom for the past two or three months and don't get me wrong because this rom is great. I love it. There's only one thing i don't like about it though. That's the GPS on it. I have tried the patches from the site and it does not work. I have a friend who is running the NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 [GRJ22/Android2.3.4][Kernel:tytung_r10] and the GPS on that locks on pretty quickly as opposed to the one from Typhoon's one.
Now I'm wondering if there's a rom out there that can combine these two together? I like the NexusHD2 but i really want it to come with CyanogenMod7. Is there a way to get CyanogenMod7 just for the NexusHD2 rom?
Pretty much is there a rom out there that has CyanogenMod7 running Ginger with a2sd+ and the gps working that can lock quickly.
Please help me!
Thank You

No idea what you're saying. Cyanogen is based of nexus/ginger/stock in a way soooooo, what you have is what you want, if I'm reading correctly. Anyways the answer is no I guess. It's either cyanogen mod, or it isn't. It's either stock or it isn't. Just try some different builds, and if you ask which is the best, well... All of the active threads, well they're active for a reason right? If they weren't active well, that just means no one is using them and if no one uses them, then well... That must mean something right?

If I understand you correctly, you're looking for a AOSP based rom that has cyanogen features. Hyperdroid GBX is build from aosp source and has some cyanogen mod like the pulldown power control widgets.
The other rom I haven't tried is crawlingcity's ultimate droid which is also build from aosp with cm features. Start with these two and see if they're what you're looking for.

awesome thanks for the help im running hyperdroid-cm7-v2.0.1 its amazing and pongster is the best!

Quickest most stable rom?

Sorry for posting this, I've used the search function but I can't really find any current threads about this. My friend has this phone and its been really glitchy and it's been really bothering me. I want to put a custom rom on her phone, but I have no experience with any of the htc hero roms. Which one out there is the quickest but still relatively stable? She's got the sprint cdma htc hero. Since she is not too great with learning new things, a sense rom would probably be best, but she could probably get used to aosp too. Thanks for your input.

-_- i'd suggest cm7 imo, using the latest nightly #202 and jaybobs kernel v10
or kush's rom look in the developement thread.

Hi,
Ur best bet for a sense ROM would be liquid sense with a few tweaks like jaybobs kernel and Juwes optimization tweak and all that can be found towards the end of the forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856099
But if u want a newer non sense stable ROM .... I'd recommend Hero Deck. All the kinks are gone from the start.

Just make sure to make a lot of time to read the threads to fix any issues that u have.
A decent more commercial ROM is:
Cyanogen.com

I'd recommend CM6. Runs really fast and is really stable. Other than that, or if you're looking for a Gingerbread based build, go for Deck/aosp.

I'd go jay bobs. Just updated today and its wicked

[Q] Best choice for custom ROM

Hi friends.
First, I want to praise this forum ... that is fantastic!
My question is about the currently ROMs for my milestone 2...
I want to flash my ML2 with another ROM, to get a better experience with the battery life...
What ROM is the better choice?
- Argen2Stone 2.7
- CM7
- TIM Retail 2.3.6
- MIUI 2
- Others.... ?
Thanks again guys!

I test all these roms, personally I prefer CM7 of Tezet + the update of Endless7
Lose the video recording at 720p, but it works great.!!

It depend on your version of MS2. I have problems with gps in cyanogen's rom, so i'am using ms2ginger 2.1. It's perfect, everything's working, but it have shorter battery life. My friend have older revision of MS2, he had serious problems with keyboard and multitouch, but Endless7 cm7 runs perfectly on his phone.

YES!
+1 for that rom .
It's pity, there's no Endless7's update for latest Tezet's CM7

May sound stupid, but allthough the milestone 2 and droid to appear to be the same phone, they are not the same phone.
Main difference is one is cdma (no sim - droid 2) and other is gsm (has a simcard - milestone2)
No method will ever get a droid 2 rom working on your milestone 2.
EDIT:
(moved to start of rant) If you have upgraded to the official gingerbread you can only use CM9, CM7(endless7), argen2stone. Just the ones with the GB kernel.
But as for other roms all roms, the choices are:
CM9: Not finished but quite stable now and a great look into ICS certainly work having a try of it. Uses GB kernel so no multitouch bug.
CM7 (tezet version): Stable, good, fast, has multitouch bug due to froyo kernel
CM7 (endless7 version/defy port): Not much difference from tezet version, but some added bells and whistles. Also uses the CH gingerbread kernel, so no multitouch bug and better touch response. I'd recommend this version personally, but it's all a matter of opinion. Also both versions show all market apps regardless of compatibility - can be handy if you wanna take advantage of a great sale knowing you can just use it when it is patched for your device or you upgrade. Or if you can tweak some stuff enough to trick it into working.
MIUI: Simply wonderful. Most stable one i have used. At first i hated the iphone likeness of it - but you can install a custom launcher if you wish. I got used to it though and ended up loving it once I tuned it to how i liked it - 1 screen with several folders and a clock widget the themes are great. It also uses the froyo kernel, so unfortunately has the multitouch bug. So i had to leave it
Argen2Stone: Pretty close to stock so if you liked the stock firmware but not it's slowness you will probably like this. Simply wasn't for me but for the time i used it, it was quite stable. Uses the CH gingerbread kernel though, so no multi touch bug here too . OH and is one of the few that has 720p video recording working I think.
I can't really remember ms2ginger and i have never tried blurless, so I won't comment on them.
Moral of the story, you can count the amount of roms we have available on you hand so why not get them all, and try them 1 day at a time?
They are all great roms and far better than stock was, so you can't really go wrong. No one here can possibly tell you what you like so you will just have to test them yourself soon enough and find out

+1 me too great works of tezet and endless7

ive used Argen2Stone 2.7 ..its a really good rom.
now im using CM9 by tezet.

My vote goes for tezet's CM7, because I like more that clean CM7 than endless' mod.

i think CM7 of Tezet is the best.

I'm voting for MIUI - but I understand if someone don't like it due to it's quite bad touch responsiveness.

I want to shar my experience with you. I used all the rom you listed except "tim retail 2.3.6".
I'm now using A2S and UK 2.3.4 kernel. It has the perfect experience whatever daily use or game playing. But it has the shorter battery life(the same as cm7 or may be a little longer).
I often got reboot when i using cm7 especially when i entering games.
MIUI has the different style from other android roms. It also based on cm kernel, if you are boring with the original android UI ,you may try this rom. But this rom has the shortest battery life even less than CM7, and has the slow reflex when you have incall.
Sorry for my terrible English.

CM7 for me.. even if it doesn't have 720p recording it is battery friendly.. i like argen2stone but the only thing i dont like on this rom is blur UI.. they should have remove the UI because it eats too much ram >.<
