im currently running AOSP 1.6 rom with gbhil custom kernal with setcpu, I really wanna switch to a newer ROM im reading alot about.
1. flipz n toast 2.1 v1.8-7
2. darchstar Cyanogen (like) 2.0.1
3. darchstar AOSP 2.1
which seems to be the best ROM with the most features and close to everything working correctly?
What is everyone using?

Still using fresh 1.1 Rom, going to try darchstar's AOSP 2.1 today. I will post when finished and let you know how it goes.
i won't use any 2.1 rom until the official comes out.
Now that multi touch and open gl is out thanks to toast, the sense 2.1 build has everything but the camara , mms receive at least for me it isnt working, and vvm
But I like the cyogen like 2.0.1 build a lot
I'm having problems in all of 'em. I like the live wallpapers, market, and maps of the AOSP 2.1, but there are quite a few bugs of things working then not working, then crashing, then working a little.
The Sense 2.1 is kinda nice, but no paid apps in the market and no live wallpapers.
I like the browser in AOSP more than the sense browser.
I haven't tried the 2.0 yet.
I don't think any of 'em are ready for prime-time. They're need, but all have critical issues.
official 2.1 is coming out soon, so I don't see much motivation to go for a custom 2.1 ROM.
Using darchstar's 2.1 right now and it is really fast!! The camera not to big of a deal(not working), But other than that should really give it a test try!!

nah, it was officially set at 2Q2010, which should be not too far off.
I agree with others, despite the massive amounts of work going into getting the kernels and roms working correctly, I will wait untill the official 2.1 as well...
wow either no one else here is trying Darchstar's 2.1 or 2.01 or im just lucky. I think his 2.1 is the best rom out, and I am including all the 1.5 and 1.6 roms in argument. Its my everyday rom, and I am a HEAVY user.
No camera = deal breaker for some.
no mms.. deal breaker.. But I use Sprint PIcture messaging website to get the missing pictures.. lol... and so I still use Darch's 2.1
the main purpose of the eclair i dev for is actually hopes of getting all hardware working in eclair with a .27 kernel. with that being said once sprint releases a 2.1 build for us we will be able to use a custom kernel in it. allowing for mods that extend beyond the build itself. the gsm hero devs know about this advantage as the .29 kernel they have runs slower then their .27 kernel in the builds. ive actually been passing my work on to lox as we fix things. trying to get them closer to a fully working 2.x build with .27 kernel under the hood also. all the 2.x builds will be buggy until we get atleast one official one to nab apps from and such. im thinking of the future right now. when sprint releases a rom and everyones pissed about source again. plus what we learn now will help us all later. i cant say one build is better then another. i guess its if u like sinse or aosp. or want this but not that. to me im just glad we are as far as we are. think about this... the dream guys dont even have opengl (as dream devs have come already looking to use our work) in their 2.x builds and the camera is half baked. also multitouch is a app hack. we have all but camera supported in a little .27 kernel and weve only had source for a few months. most said we wouldntve gotten this far in such little time. but we proved them all wrong.
I have been happy with every rom that I've found on this forum.
Gumbo 1.5c was the first I tried, and it was great. Some minor lag issues, but everything worked.
Now using toast + flips 2.1, and it's amazing. I miss my camera, but I'm not going to complain about it, because having multi touch and the consistency of how the phone runs is whats doing it for me. Thank god, I don't have to wait until Sprint releases one!
No offense to toast or anyone working on the 2.1 Sense ROM, but I tried it, and for me, it just didn't feel right. It was somehwat fast, but it did have moments of lag. Also, I didn't like all of the HTC stuff that came with it. I flashed darchstar's 2.1 AOSP, and WOW. It hit the spot. It's snappy because of the AOSP, and it has nothing "junky" in it. All I've done is flashed the HTC keyboard to it, and now it's wonderful Snappy, 2.1, AOSP, it's great. I don't really care about the live wallpapers, althought the Duck Hunt one was pretty nice.

Can we access picture mail from our phone browser and how do you know when you get a new message?
I'd like to throw it out there that after removing HtcCopyright.apk from darchstar's 2.1 AOSP, I've gotten rid of a lot, if not all, lag from the ROM. The speed also got ridiculously faster.
So I would like the latest and greatest, but seems like so many roms being released in dev forum are missing a lot of functionality or broken. The only rom that I ever kept and still am using is called "Koni's Elite" something. Is there a sense 3 rom that has gps,4g,sprint hotspot, gapps etc etc all working? Why do people even release broken stuff in the first place.

The Elite 3 is sweet he is coming out with a Elite 4 be4 long. The latest rom's aren't really broken they are built off the latest OTA leak and some other leaks. So it's all for eye candy and something new for people to mess with.
Until sprint does the OTA update the latest roms that are built off leaks are buggy. They are waiting on sprints OTA to get all the info and fix all the bugs that are in the builds so until then they are just working with what they have.
Try kings rom or CM7 there nice. The Devs do what people wanna have and see and have. They want more eye candy something new even if it's broken or buggy. So there working pretty hard to keep things going.
No there is no sense 3.0 that is out or anything that is built off it that isn't bug free yet.
Hope this helps PM me if you want to know of some other roms that not buggy and are nice.
CM7 is all you need...........
CM7 is great to use waiting till they fix most of the bugs or till the next stable build comes out. If you use CM7 keep it update they had to fix a security issue with the older builds. This is a sweet rom tho. Nice clean.
King's rom out of this world is fast decent battery life.
Virus rom's are nice.
Look in the Dev's list wiki.
Myn's Warm Point 2.2 is sweet
Mik's Rom is fast and looks great.

Go back to stock and stop taking up space in the general forum with questions which should be in the Q&A forum.
Really? These people put in their free time without pay DEVELOPING rom's to work on our phones. That is why it is called development. They release it to us "broken" so we can test it and help them in the development, and because it is fun for us. If it is that much of an inconvenience for you then either don't flash it or develop a ROM yourself that is bug free. These guys work around the clock to try to bring you the latest ROM/leak free of bugs. It is not as easy as you might think.
Lol there are still good roms out there im happy we get to test things without having to pay a big ass feee to try. Since it's free and you can edit it makes it a playground for good stuff to happen oh yea
CM7 is the latest and greatest (AOSP) and is fully functional minus 720p recording.
Tapa tapa tapa

Thanks. That cleared things quite a bit. I will give CM7 a shot bc I can live without 720p recording on a crappy camera. Didnt mean to sound unappreciative of the communities efforts.

Thanks. I've done a couple of basic Evo roms, but I really don't have too much free time on my hands these days. I have two little kids at home, and working full time, plus 2 part time jobs to pay the bills. It's expensive to pay rent and support a family here in California -- super expensive!
The first thing I noticed was the smooth app switching transitions. Then I noticed that deleting large text threads works smoothly for the first time. Then I noticed that the 3g radio wakes up faster. Then I tried 4g where I never ever have gotten a signal before and I get 1 bar. The sense clock has flipping tiles. The update caused me to have to clear the voicemail icon in settings>phone. The browser is snappier and pinch/zoom is smoother. The browser address bar now clears the entire address including the http:// prefix when selected with a single tap.

Camera update
Various effects--App draw for starters
Wider APP2SD use---Motorola \Samsung has it working
These are what I have found so far that is Android standards and are NOT in this update. Plus there is the addition of TeleNav GPS as bloatware that will not get used.
All the above and no Sense update so what was the point in all this and also all the months of waiting for nothing.

The point was to make people feel good about having "gingerbread"
It also breaks the Netflix app.
First impression?
Its missing Sense 2.0... WTF? I might as well had stayed with 2.33 beta, my brightness was usually set that way anyway.
*Sigh* oh well, happy anniversary I guess. 35 days to go of it untill I get 3.0.
horrible. the only thing I wanted fixed (audio quality of the video) didnt get touched. or if they did its way worse than the leaked roms of months ago.

I am suprised that they did not add a sence update to this I had expected a sence update and a camera update. I wonder if htc has mad a statment on wht they did not upgrade sence. I really was hoping for the camera update. I have yet to install the update. I am doing it now but once i get installed it sounds like i will be diapointed.
upated it, well it did congradulate me for updating.

That's the point. N1/NS/NS4G run ASOP 2.3. HTC Sense 2.3 is just AOSP with Sense and HTC's modifications. If Netflix works on AOSP, and all Android ROMs are based on AOSP (which they are), then Netflix isn't at fault. HTC is.

This is my point exactly.
So far I am not impressed with it. It may be smoother and all but it's the same boring sense. No inclusions of all the cool features of GB like the power widgets from pulling down the status bar. No theme chooser. No over scroll effect. No Screen off animations. **** is pretty gay to be honest. They could have at least made it a little more exciting.
let me answer with a question....could it be any gayyyyyer? lol
I just got off the phone with a rep at Netflix about the recent loss of availability on the Evo. Just in case some of you were not aware, the RUU Gingerbread update not only killed netflix for Stock Evo 2.3 users but also Stock Evo 2.2 users like myself. Now the reason is that Netflix assumed that all Evo owner's had a forced update to 2.3 and stoped supporting the Evo period until the developers can fix the playback issues on 2.3.
I informed them that not all Evo owners updated to 2.2 and that if you click ok in the app to get the update from the market and then very quickly hit the back button then play it will in fact stream the video. This works also in 2.3 with Netflix version 1.2.0 build 819145. But performing the work around is a PITA annoyance.
The rep is forwarding my finding and the fact that there are still 2.2 Evo users out there and will turn off the forced update today sometime and perhaps have the updated app available on the market for 2.2 users. They also will try to replicate my findings with the build I was using on 2.3 and see if they can get a working update for 2.3 within a few days.
So keep and eye out.

The app just doesn't show up in the market anymore but it works fine on 2.2 at least.
Just so you know, I am on Evervolv, which is 2.3 AOSP, and just tested Netflix after reading this. It worked perfectly.

Good to know, but I'm referring to stock 2.2 and 2.3 of course. Like Sprint lovers and stock based Rom that do not have a modified build.prop file.

Well the only thing modified in Calks buildprop that i noticed is the build.description, which i wouldn't think would make a difference in getting through NFLX checks. Its a sense based rom pretty stock with theming stuff and speed tweaks basically.
i believe the OP is talking about 4.22 / 2.3.3. or sense gb ("RUU gingerbread" update for the evo), not aosp gb.
netflix on sense froyo is still working for me (evio 1.8).

It's not gingerbread with problems just gingersense roms.
I had some issues with Netflix a few days ago...I uninstalled and recovered app + Data from Titanium Backup and it started working again. Just F.Y.I. I also believe there's a post somewhere with the same fix in it.
as I understand it - if you go to the market there is no Netflix app showing for Evo regardless of what Android OS or Rom you are running.
If you had Netflix previously installed on a ROm where it worked, it should still work.
Netflix will not work on any Sense based 2.3 ROM.

Thanks Man! This fixed Netflix on stock rooted 2.2.
I'm using Deck's 1.2v GB 2.3.4 and Netflix works great. It's the 1.2.1 build though. Search the forums and you can download the .apk since it might not be available on the actual market for your version of ROM.
It might not work for everyone but it's worth a try...
Hay guys im new to this forum and new to rooting and roming phones. First of all i was able to root the my touch 4g and add a new rom the first rom i add was royal ginger older version before i noticed the update. I liked that room but the problem was that i could not watch stream videos at all or flash even though i updated the room to royal ginger 3.0 latest version and nothing it seemed that the flash did not work properly. So last night i decided to try a new rom so i ended up using Android Revolution HD with sense 3.5. The rom works perfect and streams flash and usual stream sites my only problem is that the 3g and 4g switch on and off when im not using the internet or looking at streams it goes on 3g but when i do go online or stream it goes to 4g. My friends phones always stay on 4g but my doesn't so im wondering if its the rom. Also in advance what would be a really good rom that doesn't go back and fourth with the 3g and 4g and that is able to stream videos and flash working. Doesn't matter if its sense with android or stock vanilla with android thanks in advance.
The device actually does this to help you out. It goes to 3g to save you battery when not on the net.
Oh really i did not know that at all. What do you recommend as a really good rom.
I was on dark sense for a long time. Still think is a good rom. Decided to try something new though. I'm on android revolution hd now and its a great rom.
Oh ok i was going to try coredroid i heard its really good have you tired it before.
never tried core.
Well i let you know im going to try it out tomorrow and seee if i like it.

I suggest darkside sense as well, i havn't found any bugs and it is my daily driver. otherwise you can try infernosense which is really good as well
Also check out MikRunny 1.01. I've had a great experience with it in terms of battery life and it is, I believe, the only other ROM besides Cyanogenmod that supports changing music tracks by long pressing the volume buttons when your screen is off. That is one feature I cannot live without
You can also look at cyanogenmod, miui, or virtuous. I have my eyes on creamed glacier, and looking forward to flashing this rom asap. Cannot base my opinion on yet since I have not tried it.
good roms
Bliss Droid & MikRunny are great. Fast, stable, all features working. If you want a little challenge, flash Creamed Glacier. It's a great ICS Rom, just still in the early stages, so be prepared for some bugs.
