[Q] Gingerbread roms and Waveform/Spectrum

I've been flashing quite a few gingerbread roms for the past week or so...they are fantastic and would like to thank all of those who make it possible for us to tool around and update our phones. Some of these roms are so great it feels like I bought a new phone. Misfit and myn's roms are my favorite so far.
I am curious though if anyone has any insights as to the live wallpapers "Spectrum" and "waveform". I love these wallpapers and in the time I've had my evo I don't think I have used anything but them. All Gingerbread roms I have used though these wallpapers have become clunky and laggy when playing music.
Were there also new versions of these leaked? Or maybe I am using a bad kernel for my purposes? Just curious if any others have noticed - as I found nothing through searches.
Thanks again for the fantastic roms!

Einherjar Development - Thank you so much

I don't have enough posts yet to post on ROM specific threads. But I wanted to write to say a heartfelt thank you to the Einherjar Development team for making my Samsung Vibrant phone the exact phone that I dreamed it could be.
I don't have any development or coding skill, but I love to customize my phone by studying what's available and carefully following instructions. As a result, I've tried Bionix, CM7, Simply Honey, Axura, Nero and a few others. These are all great ROMs.
But nothing has ever given me exactly what I want as much as Trigger, and now Project V with the trigger theme. I am really picky about my technology, and most of the time I end up having to settle with not having everything exactly the way I wanted. But you guys at Einherjar Dev make deliver such quality, and these latest ROMs are so perfect that I even stepped back down from Gingerbread ROMs to keep using Project V.
Thank you for all of your hard work, and PLEASE keep it up!

I typically avoid these type threads, but I agree. Project V with the Trigger Theme is perfect. It allows you to have everything working and it does it well, while looking good.
I am now trying Asgard. 2.3.4 brings a LOT of features I like, but it's not the same as PV+Trigger (and that is at no fault to them, they don't have source).
Tonic_Acid made a great theme for Asgard also.

does it havehardware acceleration like asgard in te browser?

i flashed the sensation theme from EDT to the Asgard and it knocked me down to 2.3.3 and removed my voodoo lagfix.

Same here. Project V is sooo good. Im still holding from Gingerbread just because of PV. Thanks for all your hard work guys, we appreciate it.

Agreed!
While I'm sure they would prefer to be thanked in the form of donations I bet they enjoy just being appreciated as well.
Good on ya!

Heck yeah. Been using EDT ROMs since I first really wanted to flash and it's been really hard for other ROMs to be my daily driver.

I was a long term user of team whiskey roms but have flashed every rom out there outside of gb....but on 6/5/11 I found Project V and now I cannot find any reason to look elsewhere.
Project-V 6-5-11

Agreed - EDT is fantastic!
While we're on the topic - I LOVED Trigger, and now I'm on Bi-Winning v3.0. I tried Asgard, and I was impressed, but as mentioned, since no one has source, GB ROMs can only go so far. I haven't tried Project V, and I'm curious as to why everyone is all ga ga over it. I read the description as basically just being the stock ROM with tweaks, and that didn't didn't sound that exciting to me. So what is it that has everyone so excited about PV?

What??
I don't think that's possible. I'm running Asgard with the Sensation theme and I'm on 2.3.4. I don't think it's possible for a theme to change your firmware version.

Well, that other Sensation was actually a complete ROM. He's updated it to be purely a theme now.

love 2.3.4 rom

The things I care about in a ROM are as follows in order of importance from MOST important to LEAST important:
- Aesthetics
- Battery Life
- Stability
- Performance
Yes that's right, aesthetics are a deal-breaker for me. If I can't get a ROM to look and feel the way I want, I don't care how good the performance is, I won't use it.
- Project V with Trigger Theme has perfect aesthetics for me giving me exactly what I want across every aspect of my android experience (the themed MMS is the best.)
- It delivers the best battery life of any ROM I've used to date, particularly when combined with the Bali kernel (most geared toward battery life, though Bullet is an excellent 1.45ghz option for performance)
- It is rock-solid stable, smooth, crisp and lag free.
- It's performance, meets all my expectations and needs, though being Froyo it obviously lacks GB features.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to surf ROMS. I'm too excited by all the awesome development going on. I mean, CM7 is amazing. And there's several ROMs from developers I've never even flashed yet. But I think EDT delivers high, high, high quality, and I just wanted to thank them.

I need a solid rom for a friends phone

Can anyone recommend a solid rom? I installed a froyo rom about 10 months ago on a friends hero.. he has been getting lots of daily random reboots.. other than those he likes it. I'm looking for a solid rom.. don't care if it's froyo or gb.. just something that works well.. a rom that's been around for a while possibly. I've been installing roms on my Evo 4g and galaxy s 4g.. but don't have experience with hero roms..

probably cyanogenmod. If you want sense UI stock is probably the way to go, because its the most stable. Personally the most stable custom sense rom I've used was fresh hero 2.4. I think it was android 2.1. Now if you dont mind not having sense then I sugest Cyanogenmod it is currently at stable release of 7.0.3 android 2.3 Gingerbread. I have looked around and tried many roms but im slow about how to install things and have issues with most roms, so I always end up back at Cyanogenmod. Hope this helps

the truth is everyone is going to say something different,there are going to be issues on every rom some very minor and some big it all depends my only suggestion is to install a coouple different roms like aoscmod hero deck and cm7 and a stock sprint rom then make back ups of them so he can test them out and easily switch back to the one he likes best.

He's absolutely right about preference and different ppl but,
In the little time I've had with my hero... I've tried all of the roms available, and since OMFG has fixed the wifi problem I'm using their latest ... Smooth fast and no fc for me

@OP.....Quoted above is the best answer to this question. Bierce22 nailed it. A rom/setup that runs perfect for me is in no way relevant to how it's going to work on your friends phone. There are just too many variables between phones and between people's preferences & needs.

Hmm
I would recommend Cynogenmod 7 stable release.
Everything works, No reboots (In my experience) Super stable
and most important of all very smooth.
Just use Launcher pro (free version from market) or
the original launcher (see below for link) which comes with
GB because ADW is known for giving people force close problems.

thanks for the heads up guys.. I ended up putting the cm7/gb rom on it.. and so far so good. Runs pretty darn good.

Your random daily reboots could be from having your CPU speed set too high. Currently I'm building CM7 from source, but aosp is my other preference for stability, performance, etc. But as others above me said, each to their own. Find one that suits your friend best.
Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D

Now TDJ is gone, what's the best Rom in terms of stability?

HI everyone,
I'll start by acknowledging all of the answers to questions OTHER than what is in this title.
- Yes ROM's are personal choice.
- Oh, thanks now I know that it is a matter of preference on how I use my phone and how I want my rom to look.
- Sheez, there are other amazing developers on here besides TDJ?
Ok, so for a while Mr Derek dominated this forum with his superb skills (is that dude really in his early 20's!)
and so now I have no idea who are the up and coming superstars.
I have a busy life so trolling every post to see what people think of the new guys isn't an option for me (especially as I am not an employee where I can surf while at work and get paid for it - you know who you guys are lol
I was a die hard MIUI user and found great battery with the TDJ kernels.
I tried Darkside CM7 and Sense 4.0 and they sucked out more juice.
So I'm looking for a stable "daily" and I found MIUI 2.35 by TDJ to start FC a lot.
I am now on MIUI 2.3.9 and it is pretty good - so great job to Cnote and Jhutson
for that.
I am still finding quite a lot of FC's even though I have fixed permissions and only ever flash after full wipes etc.
I'd love to hear what you guys think. Developers - Time to promote yourself and tell me why you rock...
Users- time to share your thoughts and cheer for your faves.
Look forward to hearing from you all soon!!

Check out team Inferno's roms, those are pretty stable. If stability is your major concern, i would steer away from the ics roms for now because, in my experience, the launcher is very destable or they lack some features. I personally use darksense, just because tdj has left the forums doesn't mean that you can't use his roms.

Personally, I enjoy using CoreDroid v1.3. I installed DianXinOS on my wife's phone for the eye candy (it also has great battery life with it's battery manager), but it's still in development being ported over & translated from Chinese. I was getting frustrated using DianXinOS as a daily driver, so I had to change, but I think it's a viable option once it's up & running to its full capabilities. It's a project from Team Inferno I believe, so I expect great things from that ROM.

Team Inferno's ROMs are very stable. Although, CoreDroid is good as well. If you're an AOSP fan, I'd stick with either faux123's CM7 or MIUI. Team Inferno is working on Sense + ICS, but you say Sense 4.0 (think you meant 3.6) didn't work for you. I'd go with either Android Revolution HD or HoneySmartDroid for Sense ROMs. Hope this helps you.

Most stable is vu 2.39 for me. Can't be beat, and has excellent battery life.

Are you getting this direct from miui.us?
I know that TDJ was doing some considerable tweaks to make it better and I think he had mentioned there were some new amazing devs coming up to take over.
Now I see quite a few different MIUI roms and not sure what is the optimal etc.
Thank you to everyone who gave clear, honest and respectful comments - I hit your thanks buttons!

...he said VU... Virtuous Unity, version 2.39. it's a Sense 3.0 ROM... very stable, very fast, very good.

Time for ICS with Sense for the OG

Well I know this was worked on a few times before and now it is my turn to see what I can get done. I am tired of not having a working ICS sense rom. I have done a little playing with Platt's PrimOG and it sure is nice looking. Now I dont have plans to kang his work or pitch in and help out on it. I am looking at sense 4.1 roms ATM but as yall know the wind will blow me where I need to go. In the end I might work with Platt's or even drop the project it all depends on how things look when I get into them.
Known issues with platt's rom
Sound is very quite (site claims sound does not work but I can hear it)
No camera (FFC or RC) big bummer
wifi no workie
landscape rosie widgets
and more
So this should clue yall in to what I am facing going into this project. Platt has not done anything since sep of last year on his and looks like he started it some where around this time last year. So off I go to start this and work on that darn JB binary script for my cyanmobile.

Thanks man for taking time to look at this and try to get this to work...it always has looked intriguing...hope you have luck with it...i'll be checking in regularly to see how i'ts going...:good:

Well I was plannig on doing a Sense 4.1 version but it looks like I might be doing the old 4.0 instead. All the stock donors I have found are either ics sense 4.0 or jb sense 4.5. Heck maybe I will try doing jelly bean Shall see which one produces the most fruit.
