So I just got the gingerbread update and I want to flash 3.0 on my mytouch...which is the more stabe for regular usage. Double shot or fusion?
If you got the official update, you will need to follow this guide to downgrade to froyo and gain root first (again)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
As far as roms, fusion development has given way to unity, so would recommend that over fusion. As far as doubleshot, they are both stable for being relatively new but not without a bug or two. And the only one who can answer which is better is you...one may suite your style and needs better than than the rom I use...since they are all under active development, you may as well start to get used to flashing and try them all before you stick with one...

Hello Mate,
For improved battery life, fast and stable ROM, I recommend you use Doc's Rom, you will get all of this, and no messing with your phone.
You can get Doc's ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Note that you will find a Slim version and "normal" version, slim has been trimmed every app that is not absolutely indispensable, since you are new to custom ROMs, it is best to get the normal version.
And here you can find a nice tutorial on how to make a clean installation, I suggest you follow this guide when flashing any custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9728021&postcount=14527
This guide shows you how to instal Doc's Rom v4 based on JPU, the most recent version so far is v6.2 based on JPY, the installation process for both is the same anyways, you only need to follow the complete guide the first time you get a custom ROM, after this it is much easier to change ROMS
Good Luck!
Please ask any questions if you have doubts, we all here will be pleased to help you out.
There is no best ROM, it is up to you to find the ROM that you want.
You can use the latest stock ROMs or Custom Roms which are really just repackaged/optimized/improved/faster stock ROMs (Doc is most popular for these reasons).
These discussions are not beneficial to anyone at XDA. If you are too lazy to flash and find what you like, then you don't belong at XDA.
I'm afraid that "which ROM is best?" threads always end in disaster here at XDA, and there's no answers to be found here that can't be had by taking some time and doing some personal research on all the options that exist...the benefits and faults of each are already well-documented.
Thread closed.
Lets face it...MDJ isn't coming back anytime soon (If ever!) and frankly he has left quite a few people that use his ROMS in the cold.
So, in my unsuccessful quest to find a replacement ROM, does anyone have any suggestions on a Android NAND ROM as a replacement for MDJs Gingerbread CM7 Roms?
If its not listed in the POLL, just post below and I will add it.
Never tried gingerbread roms for real before so I wouldn't know sorry. However from my past experience with JDMS Ultimate Droid, I would recommend you trying crawlingcity's Ultimate Droid 3.1
The build i'm using now is gauner's desire z build. Just sticking to Froyo until enough apps get updated to gingerbread.
I would suggest Ultimate Droid 3.01.
Fast clean and reliable I have not encountered anything that does not work.
Fast boot time takes about 1 minute.
Cheers..
For me this rom is allmost close to perfect:
skink Clean Desire v1.2
Stable, fast and nice . I like Sense. Thank you
MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.2.6_NAND_A2SD+.
First off, this is my first post here, so hi everyone. After a few months with my unrooted Desire HD, I decided to root. I was hesitant mainly due to how complex the process was. I am with telus, which means I had to downgrade to a rootable firmware version (the Telus one isn't rootable for some reason). I needed to install a gold card for this. After this, I temp rooted and permanently rooted successfully. My first custom ROM is MIUI (freshly squeezed edition). I find it to be very fluid and fast and is definetly good looking. Its nice to see a ROM based on something other than stock Android or Sense. The software build that comes with this ROM (2.3.4) is also very fast, a huge step up from the laggy 2.2.1 software that Telus shipped with it.
Again, I am new and know very little about rooting and development in general, buy I plan to be using custom ROMs very often and I thought this site would be a good place to give feedback on custom ROMs. (I noticed you need at least 10 posts to access the developers forum).
The only problem I have with MIUI is that the messaging app constantly force closes.
Welcome ..
the 10 post limit is a bummer .. but you'll get there ..
Rom paradise will open soon ..

This is probarly asked alot so sry
But considering the risk with putting roms on your phone.
and considering the advantages from these roms.
What do you suggest to do if i want to play save
-> Upgrading to 2.2 with Kies (samsung software)
-> Upgrading to 2.2 stock with odin
-> Upgrading to 2.2 ROM with no OC
And for the roms wich do you suggest as the safest and stable (no bugs)

well if u're on 2.1...i recommend to first go to 2.2 with odin(stock)...and then look at dev section and select a rom which suits you best...
i use three rom's...two are froyo&cm7(2.3.5)...and with froyo ones i have zero problems...i think if you choose betwen these two and follow all the instructions tight....then you should be fine
but it's your call

If you want to play safe, just do nothing.
But if you want to upgrade your phone, do it with some custom rom from this forum. I believe the Kyrillos rom is the most popular (hence, 'the best'). I upgraded my phone being a total noob to the kyrillos rom and I'm very happy with my galaxy 3. It's much faster (without overclock) and my battery lasts much longer. I can do things my phone never could before (with stock 2.2).
Regarding your points of concern:
- Messing things up: it's really difficult to really really **** up the phone. Follow the instructions and if you have a question, search on the forum or ask it. Once you've done the rooting, you realise it's a very simple proces.
- The possible bugs: sometimes you encounter a bug, but in most cases it's no big deal ( some visual letter or icon thing) and chances are high it's repaired in the next version.
If I was you, I'd consider a custom rom (like Kyrillos 9).

Lesson n. 1
How not to begin a topic.
welcome to the NIGHTMARE
you should look at S. U. R. F. A. C. E Rom thread. the Rom is very nice and he has very good tutorials for beginners!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Well, first of all, the latest roms are not always the best ones. Since gingerbread 2.3.4, we've had in sequence: JVQ, JVR, JVS, JVT and now JVX, JVW and JVZ.
However, many still consider JVR to be smoother and more stable than the newer ones. Then, there is also the wifi problem on JVS and above.
Similarly, there is the infamous phone.apk force close problem on all these roms, which was not present on gingerbread 2.3.3.
But gingerbread 2.3.3 had serious battery drain issues, which weren't present on Froyo roms.
So, here's what you need to know as a beginner:
-The latest roms and custom roms give you the advantage of theming, modding and tweaking, all of which are very fun and exciting. Seriously. I used to flash my galaxy s multiple times a day.
-But the smoothest, lag free roms are the Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Stick with those if you want stability and speed. After all, gingerbread doesn't have any important extra functionalities. But, froyo roms lack support for latest tweaks and themes.
So, if you're happy with your current rom, there is no actual need to change it.
But, if you are really keen on trying other roms before settling down, you need to be able to flash roms. To do that, you'll need to:
1) Install Samsung Kies to get the samsung usb drivers
2) Download odin 1.3 or above
3) Download the rom of your choice and follow their flashing instructions
4) To be safe, download a froyo stock rom and a gingerbread stock rom with bootloaders just in case you need to revert to stock
5) To be even safer, perform the unbrickable mod on your phone first, though the SGS is pretty hard to hard brick anyway.
