I'm currently running BAMF 1.10 Cubed. It's got everything I want except stock VZW VVM. I don't like the aftermarket VVM apps.
Looking for a ROM with good battery life, VZW VVM and wireless tether. I've run Thunderstick and liked it but hear that the current ROM has battery life issues.
I don't keep up with the latest and greatest. Just want a good ROM I can flash and then leave it alone. I don't like to keep upgrading all of the time.
Thanks!

Try bully desensed. It has working wireless tether but I'm not to sure about the vvm. It's a great rom and fast as hell.

All I really want is the fastest, most stable ROM available. Are there better options? It needs to be able to tether, too; I'm using PdaNet right now and it's working flawlessly.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, opinions and advice.
You're using as up-to-date software as thousands and thousands of non-rooted Eris owners. The *core* of the OS, Android 2.1, is current. Sure, you can get Android 2.2 on your phone but it's not really ready for prime-time yet.

Ya, just flash Zanfurs OC kernel if you want to have more accurate settings and you should be good. And by the way, PDAnet lets you tether with any rom, as far as actually tethering without pdanet then the ivan rom should do the trick though I never tried it myself.

I use this configuration EXACTLY.
I also use wifi tethering a lot around the house for my gf's laptop.
I have gone to EVERY popular ROM out there for at least a couple of days. I keep going back to SenseUI if a ROM doesn't have it, and I keep coming back to Ivan's when I get to SenseUI. EvilEris was the second longest ROM I ever had, almost a month. Was finished with Sense crashing, and the De-Odex'd stuff (no room in the /data/ area, phone kept running out of memory, and no I don't like A2SD).
Ivan's and PDANet ftw.
You can try tnoobs it is a stock ROM, a revamp of plainjane. It has the perks and is quick.

- +1 - Tried them all, including the Froyo scene - very buggy! Ivan's is the standard of reliability and reasonable speed. I use PdaNet and Wireless. The only other ROMs that seems to be as stable and add an effective Apps2SD is Fresh 3.0 and XTR-Sense 3.03.
I want to flash froyo but i dont want to have to flash back to di18 for any reason. so how stable are these roms? and is EVERYTHING working are they daily drivers?
Could you post the rom you are using.
Just my 0.02¢ but I think the DK17 leak is very stable and I haven't had any problems with it so far.

I've been using froyo as a daily driver. Its been working great. I did have issues with GPS and the camera but after searching the forums I found fixes.
The only thing still bothering is wifi. It works but sometimes I have to go to settings to turn it on.

Using it as my daily OS. Wouldn't go back to Eclair.

Using viper dk17 froyo now. So much better than eclair.
Same as the rest - DK17. No issues, no problems so far.
+1 to DK17
I am using the quamtum rom version 1.5 and it has been rock solid. It performs quite well for me.
Make sure to follow the directions in the posts very carefully. Also keep in mind that you are voiding your warranty and putting yourself in a position of not being able to get support from Samsung or Sprint.
That said if you can read and follow directions you can recover your phone from almost any problem you might encounter and get back to the released Sprint build and recover all of your data. The secret is to not panic. Back up your data before you start.
You also can't guarantee that you won't run into issues with the apps that you depend on. I am using several corporate apps that were designed for earlier editions and all of them run just fine. Depends on what apps you use and how good the developers of the apps were.
Before I start asking my questions I want to say that this is my first android phone and I'm essentially a noob when it comes to rooting/flashing/custom roms etc. so please bear with me. I have been researching pretty heavily, but I'm finding I need some hand holding because my first attempt at rooting/flashing didn't go so well and I'm very reluctant to repeat the process all over again.
I'm currently on the stock DK17 that I flashed through ODIN per instructions found on this page (when it was still DK17, now it's DK28) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
I'm finding that I'm unhappy with this setup and I want to run a custom ROM.
What I want above all else is speed, stability, and better battery life. I don't care about any frills, I want something that's simple, runs smoothly, and most importantly, isn't glitchy. I want to find a ROM that runs great, and once I do, I prefer to stick to it because I don't find flashing very recreational.
Some questions:
Should I update to DK28 or are there a bunch of issues with the leak? Are custom ROMs based off DK17 more reliable/less glitchy?
I used SDX stock app remover to remove a bunch of sprint/stock apps. Will this cause any issues if I decide to flash DK28 (or any other rom)?
I'm planning on using appbrain to "back up" my apps using the 'sync with appbrain' feature. From my understanding I just re-download appbrain and use it to download all the apps I previously had?
So what are my best options taking into account the criteria I mentioned? I was looking at Nebula (custom ROM) and it looks like something promising. I know you guys are thinking "just flash different ROMs and see which one you like you noob" but I'm looking to narrow down my options.
Thanks for any help and sorry for the long post,
-Dennis

Hif you want super stable with great batery life go with the 2.1 EE rom with the pheonix 1.43 kernel. If you want to be on froyo then I highly recoend mammons rom which is based of of the dk28 release which is more stable than dk17.
Removin sprint apps have no afect on flashing custom rms, it only will affect getting OTA's from sprint
Not sure about apbrain since I don't use it myself

The most stable Froyo rom is Nebula or Bonsai. Cant go wrong with either.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Nebula
imo
I am testing out the latest ViperROM right now. If you want a solid ROM with a little bit of eye candy, Viper is a good choice.
Nebula !!!
im diggin bonsi, smooth n nice

I would go with mammons. So far its the must stable rom for me. Plus you get froyo!
Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic! http://mobilehighway.blogspot.com/
For stability, right now, stick with 2.1. Go with either Syndicate ROM with Xtreme Kernel or Epic Experience with Phoenix Kernel.
Among the Froyo ROMs, I've had the best luck with Epic Experience and Nebula ROM. Viper and Quantum gave me some issues.
I'm going with Nebula as well. It runs great for me.
Dk28 has given me the best results with gps and data speeds. I've been using mammon's rom and its been awesome so far.

The reason everyone is giving you different recommendations is because everyone is a unique individual with different tastes and requirements in what they value in a custom rom. I am currently using Bonsai4all, but have tried most every other rom as well.
As far as not finding flashing recreational just keep doing it and as you become comfortable with the process you will start to like it a lot better. It's fun going to the Sprint store and jabbing away with the support/sales staff about the Epic and Evo while we are flashing new roms while we chat.
I've tried Syndicate, Viper, and Epic Experience (both the Eclair + Froyo versions), and I must say EE has been my favorite of the three.
I made it work wifi-calling on rom Froyo by Laszlo 2.2.1 and work
I leave the update for that use HTC Dream G1 T-mobile U.S with Froyo by Laszlo 2.2.1
Warning I am not responsible if this affects your current rom or otherwise cause damage to your phone
for those who have the rom Froyo by Laszlo 2.2.1 reboot in recovery make a backup and flashing the Htc-G1-wifi-calling-for-froyo-2.2.1-signed.zip
to try another rom 2.2.1 delete biuld.prop from the Htc-G1-wifi-calling-for-froyo-2.2.1-signed and replace it with the rom build.prop to try and add this to the build.prop
#rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
rilswitch.vendorlibpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

Since laszlo is based on cm6 would this also work on a cm6 ROM? I am running the last cm6 nightly which I like a lot.

might work would only be build.prop remove and replace it with the CM6 and add the necessary information to the rom build.prop CM6. and remember the wifi-calling is only for T-mobile user
Wow, thanks a million! I was desperate to get wifi calling on my G1 because I live in a half-basement apartment, so my signal is pretty much useless. I switched to Froyo by Lazlo from straight CM6 because the latter was being laggy anyway. That took some doing, but once I got that all straightened out, I flashed your zip, opened up the app, and flipped the switch. Bam! Wifi calling!
I don't know who is behind building this, but thanks for pointing me to it and recommending Froyo/Lazlo. You made my night.

Testing this now. I hope this work. It will help me TONS!
This is the best thing to happen to my G1 since I put Lazso on it. You have done a Great Job with this !!!!!
I have used this all day long on 10 calls and everyone has said the calls are clear. Also it works great with my bluetooth!!!!
I am sending this link to everyone I know that has a G1.
NOTE: if this thread was in the developement it would get alot more exposure!!!
thanks
Thank you for this. Works almost perfectly, but theres one problem.
After flashing this it causes roaming and 3g not to work.
I go to wireless settings>mobile networks>Network operators
Then get error searching for network.
Flashing laszlo 5.2 fixes the problem, but then wifi calling doesnt work.
Can someone help me? I really want wifi calling and being able to search for networks to work.
Anyone else get this to work with other roms? It causes the wifi to stop working on any other rom besides laszlo.
What I am looking for is stock rooted gigerbread rom that has working wifi tethering. my wife's phone hasn't been updated because I rooted her phone and she uses barnacle for free tethering. i read that barnacle doesn't work on gingerbread. also Would be sweet if I could odin it. Have tried in the past to put custom roms on wifes epic and have had varied degrees of success. I have an evo running synergy so i am familiar with rooting and changing roms there but seems to be easier with odin on epic. Thanks for all of your help.
CleanGB BML or Legendary would work great for you. They both can be found in Development subforum. Read through the threads for each to see which one you like better.

I've tried a bunch of different ones out and am in the same situation as you... it was rooted for the sole purpose of free tethering (and to remove the samsung bloatware).
The new cleanGB rom is the best i've used, not the fastest but everything works and has been perfectly stable. for tethering i use open garden wifi - this is no longer listed on my market but if you do a google search for it, you can install it directly from their website for free. that's the best/easiest/most stable tether program i've used.

Cleangb has wifi hotspot built in, and I thought it does usb tethering as well. No 3rd party app needed. Anytime an app is pulled from the market, you really have to wonder why, and be cautious DLing directly from their website.

+1 on the CLeanGB BML. I've had an issue or too fiddling with undervolting but other than that, it just works and looks nearly stock. I'm not a big tetherer but I seem to recall doing a USB tether a while back and Wireless Hotspot hack is built-in. It also included a few other "nice" hacks that I like. Alternatively, as was mentioned, the android wi-fi tether app worked well when I did use it.

The wireless hack works great, its been built into my roms for some time now. But occasionally I still have to use alternate tether apps, as things like my TouchPad can't see Sprint Hotspot for some dumb reason.
wow just came back on and saw all the responses. Thanks again but what i am looking for is a basic rooted gingerbread rom with touch wiz and sprint hotspot. any further help would be appreciated.
