Just starting this thread (if it wasn't already) to see what ROM you're currently running and what you like about it. I think this will be helpful to those that are interested on trying different ROM's!
So with that said, post away!
** UPDATE - 11/16/10 **
- Current ROM: Cyanogen 6.1 RC1 w/ stock Launcher!
- Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841275
Stock with baconbits. 1.5GHz.
Stock. Not even rooted.
First day that the G2 had perm root i didn't even wanna do it till Cyanogenmod came out for the G2 and right when i read on xda that it was finally here i jumped on it and rooted the G2 and applied Cyanogenmod right away! Love this rom on the G1 and i still love it on the G2

hello all. this is my first time ever setting foot in the incredible threads. im currently a roooted eris user, but recently upgrading to the incredible due to eris's limitations. i should be recieving one in the mail today hopefully. i have a few quick questions for you guys and im hoping i can get answers today or at least before i start rooting my phone.
1) can titanium backup restore all my apps + data and configurations, that were backed up on my eris without any issues?
2) which rom is the best so far? i was enjoying cm 6.0 port on my eris but i prefer sense now because im not much of a fan of stock vanilla look.
I do enjoy the 360 degree rotation and was wondering if anyone has created a sense based rom with that particular feature or does cyanogen have a monopoly on that one?
3) does metamorph work on the incredible? and are these roms available now currently themable
4) which is the most preferred kernel? ive read so far about hydra kernel and kingx, what are the advantages each have over the other
5) in case of a necessary warranty exchange attempt, is there an ota based ruu rom available to restore the original bootloader? in other words is it unrootable as of yet? (eris users are currently able to do this.)
Oh and i forgot to ask.
6) is the 2.2 ota released for upgrade or are the 2.2 roms available right now leaks?

1) Most likely not, while just restoring apps should work, apps+data may bring about problems because they are different phones. don't quote me tho. (My advice make a nandroid before you restore apps+data then if you get FC'cs you'll see something went wrong and can go back)
2) The most popular ROM on this forum seems to be Skyraider, it has both a sense and vanilla version. There are 3 more fairly popular ones on ROM manager, I advise you to test them all out they all have their own flair.
3) Yes, check out the theme's section for more info on that.
4) Both kernels work well, it's all a matter of what you're happiest with. I'm not sure of the specific differences of both tho, so maybe someone else can answer that.
5) If you use Unrevoked3 you can RUU back to stock yes. If you use Unrevoked forever (which is S-off) there is currently no way to get S-on. So you would just have to hope if you turned it in for warranty that the guy didnt check the bootloader.
6) Most 2.2 ROM's right now are based off a leak released here on 8/1/2010. There is no official 2.2 release for the Incredible.

i have an evo that i bought when the op sys was still at 2.1. i rooted with unrevoked...no problems. i have recently decided to upgrade to a newer version of froyo, however i am not sure how to proceed.
last night, i installed unrevoked-forever, and now i need instructions on what rom to upgrade to and still keep root. i've browsed the forums, but it's all greek to me. i know how to flash a rom, and am fairly comfortable with doing that part of the procedure. i just want to upgrade the op sys to be able to take advantage of some of the new features that aren't present in 2.1, and NOT LOSE ROOT, as i use my tether often.
can anyone please guide a sistah on the right path?
If this doesnt help you I don't know what will lol

If you're looking to stay stock rooted try flashing the sprint lovers rom 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153
Download the "odexed" version of the rom from here. You will have the latest Froyo version as well as maintain root.

if i were you, i'd try a custom rom. not just a rooted stock one. try myn's warm twopointtwo if you want a nice, smooth, fast, themed, stock-like experiance.
Try a sense rom like koni elite series 3 with a netarchy kernel then when ur used to.custom rom try a aosp I suggest destroyer v2 rom.or end of days

Hello everyone.
I just have one small question regarding the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054250
Anyway, I LOVE rmk's ROMs. I'm an avid user of Virtuous.
When I found out about the HTC Desire Z Gingerbread ROM leak, I picked up rmk's slightly tweaked version and overall, I was thoroughly impressed.
When I found out about the T-Mobile G2 ROM leak, I went to rmk's thread and picked up the ROM. But after I was done flashing it, when I was about to go through the standard Google activation process, I was bombarded with several force close notices that kept me from proceeding with the startup, among them this kept popping up.
"Sorry, process com.android.phone is not responding"
Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this?
Before, I was using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, if that is of any help.
Do I need to come from a Sense ROM or does it make no difference if I'm coming from an AOSP ROM?
Maybe because you have a DZ not a G2?
Have you tried reflashing and maybe fix permissions?

It sounds like you need to win and flash the rom agian. I recommended using amazinglarrys superior when moving from one rom to another. And I would give this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076786version of the tmous gb rom a go it has had a bit more work done to, and includes an oc kernel and its gets rid of a load the tmobile bloat. I have been using it on my dz since it was released and have no problems what so ever.

Did you not wipe before switching roms???

I flashed my Virtuous 1.0.2 backup, wiped, then flashed the ROM from rmk40's thread.
It's getting along just fine.

Sorry if this is a noob question but I did quite a bit of searching and could not find anything.
Is it possible to install stock google roms on a DZ? I would really like to install the latest version then have it update itself by OTA. My phone is rooted and currently running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.
Thanks!
Id stick with cm7 from my personal experience its close to stock android Rome and it runs remarkably well

Yes, it is possible to run stock android roms on a DZ, there are several different variants out there right now. Just for example there's virtuous g-lite (look in the dev section or on virtuous' homepage) which is currently on version 2.3.5 I believe. A more up-to-date rom seems to be this one: 2.3.7 (please read the op, some issues still remain).
Though, as far as I know, you will not be able to receive OTAs as these are pushed to your phone by your carrier. If you want to receive OTAs on a DZ you will have to revert back to a stock sense rom.
Any ROM that works on the G2 works on the Desire Z (as long as you are rooted and S-Off, which you obviously are if you are on CM7). So if you want, just go to the Developement section and you will find pre-rooted versions of the G2 AOSP ("stock Google") ROMs. But make sure the ROM is pre-rooted. If you install an "official" ROM that is not pre-rooted, you will lose root, and need to go through the whole process again.
Upon finally achieving s-off on my phone, one of the ROMs I've wanted to run was tge MIUI. well it worked on the first try after rooting but boot looped when i had to reboot it. Reflashed it again and it happened again. Can anyone help?

Which version of MIUI is it?
I just had this same problem with ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 2.12.21 Rom
I realized that i was still using the way outdated radio which my phone bootlooped as soon as MIUI tried to load it.
alot of these newer ICS/JB roms require you to update to the new ICS radio 1.09.01.0320
I installed the new radio and it works great! I can reboot all i want.
I used this one on Team venoms Roms thread
