Baconbits (v3 is the latest); if you can't find it here, check the CM forums.

Its in the Market as SetCPU for Root Users; I advise against profiles (they destroy the battery), just use the ondemand gov instead

BaconBits is in the dev forum here as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834565. I believe people have also had success running Pershoot's kernel (also in the dev forum---this one is updated constantly). Not sure why your searches didn't turn up anything though. Someone asks about how to overclock the stock ROM every couple of weeks...
As far as SetCPU goes, the dev offers it free for XDA users (just search for it to find the main thread with the downloads). If you want to pay for the donation version on the Market, even better though. You can also CPU Tuner. I think there are a few others as well.

I was using the stock odexed rom (one in the development section, I believe its the same as the stock rom with a few tweaks) with Pershoots latest kernel . Talk about fast, performance wise that was the fastest rom I ever used (backed up by benchmarks). CPU performance was greater than CM7 and GPU performance was on par with CM7. I would contact Pershoot first and find out before using his kernel on a stock rom though, some have had boot loops while other have had success.

Oh ok. I just saw you mentioned that you had already tried everything in the dev section but nothing worked (which seemed odd since BaconBits was in the dev forum here and should have been exactly the same one as on the CM forum). And I'm not exactly sure how you are searching but the first link when I searched for SetCPU worked fine for me. What SetCPU forum you are talking about?

But i also found the link you posted but its just a zip with a unreadable file, do i just flash it? Or?

Are you sure you are actually searching the forum as opposed to the main XDA page? You need to search the forums if you actually want to find relevant threads as opposed to news articles (there is a search box at the top of the page). Each sub-forum and thread also has a search button (for instance, you can search only within the G2 forums for stuff).

That unreadable file is actually an APK. APK's are the application files used by Android. If you transfer the file to your phone, you can use a file manager to "open" the file, starting the install process. You will also need to enable "Unknown sources" in your Settings (under Applications) if you haven't already. FYI, this is sometimes referred to as the side-loading of apps (because you are doing it outside of the official Market).
EDIT: Nevermind, saw you got it.

Ok after browsing all these ROMS and basically starting to get a headache lol, can anyone recommend a rom thats stock froyo (or close to as I use the football app and the nascar app etc) that also allows me to tether wifi. Ive probably looked at over 7 roms maybe more and they all seem custom in some way shape or form which im not interested in. I did look at the stock rooted 2.2 but I dont think it suits my needs, unless theres something im missing about tethering

Once you are rooted, the wireless tether application for root users will work on every rom. You can use any stock rom of your liking and then add the wireless tether app from the market and you will be all set.
Wow! Seriously?! Why in dev section?! I'm sorry to be rude but I'm getting tired of ppl always posting non-developing stuff on the DEVELOPMENT section. I almost never comment but I'm tired of this.
Please, next time post it on the Q&A section.
Thanks.
Edit: I'll be glad to help if mods move it to Q&A.
Stock froyo like sense 2.2 rooted? There's that option, if you mean like stock android froyo ala 2.2 there is CM6

OP,
I understand your headaches since I am basically wanting the same thing. But after a little looking around, think that the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 is what you are looking for. They use to have a thread on just ROMs, how they have been modified, etc.
Also krazyconejo, maybe this is a way for a developer to help out a user? I know that the developers love to have their ROMs used, or at least some input instead of jumping on a guy, maybe you should strongly suggest for future education. Sometimes it is better to coach a fellow member than hit him over the nose with a rolled up news paper (figuritively speaking) - without being disrespectful to you.
Krazy..ive spent the past few hours searching and reading this section of the forums, so excuse me for posting here and upsetting you lol. Since this is a question about ROMS specifically and this section has them all listed, I felt it would be better answered here, then in a general Q&A section. I tend to value the replies I get in a specific forum topic more then a general one
like I said before I usually don't say anything and just ignore it. But if I come to the developing section, I expect to see that and not waste my time with this.
As for OP sorry for being mean but if you would had posted this in the right place, I'm petty sure someone would had helped.
*Not gonna respond anymore. OP if you still help pm me and let's just let this thread die.
Thanks.
if you want the football and nascar app...just flash any rom and install those apks.

Sorry, I didn't get past this part. I'm still too busy reeling from the discovery that someone actually uses those two apps to recommend that you use DamageControl 3.5 or something based from it.

This may be true however it is still the wrong place to post this. questions go in questions forum or in the thread of a specific rom/kernal if they pertain to it. since this is a general questions about roms and doesnt fit into a specific rom thread it belongs in the Q&A forum. Most of the people who will give you a true answer from dev also frequently go to the QA section. also yuo will get flamed less and not have to wade through as many posts telling you that you posted wrong.
To answer your question. You can use wifi tether with stock rooted froyo or almost any custom rom. you can still use football/nascar you can try Damage control 3.5 which will let you easily select what you want to have or not of the sprint apps and have the rest removed. you can also use roms like fresh Evio and baked snacks and install the .spk for those 2 apps.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Baked snack then install nascar and football apk. If you need them im sure they are floating around here somewhere if not pm me.
You could also try fresh. He puts all the apks he removes in a folder on your sdcard.

lol thanks for all the info...Kinda new to the whole rooting thing and with all the roms flying around and the 100+ pages for each its alot to read over but I tried as much as I could
And yes I am a nascar fan and a football fan..And since Verizon has the good app lol..I use what I got!!!
You could also probably find those .apks by browsing for a folder of the Fresh Removed .apks folder that comes with the Fresh ROM, or just find some Fresh user to upload them for you.

Question.

I have downloaded and installed the FPS app "nova" but my dinc won't run it for some reason. My guess is that nova is supposed to be for the evo, but is there another fps game for the dinc that is like nova that I can download and run?

This is what happens when your thread is titled "question". Not very compelling, so you're probably not getting many lookers.
EDIT: I stand corrected...I see there have been 121 views. Perhaps no one knows the answer. The sarcasm probably won't help.
Are you rooted? Having force close issues? Your problem description is lacking a lot of detail because having a problem is very different from explaining what your problem is. So I would say if you answered yes to my two questions, try a fix permissions in either recovery or rom manager. If not, please describe your issue with as much detail as possible so we can help you.
Eeeeeeyyyyiks, sorry guys, major lack of info.
Rooted, kernel 2.6.32 hydra-ocuv-v10 on a stock Rom. Newest radio version (i think) I keep 3 radio versions handy because certain ones work better in certain places...?
The nova will force close right after the download then go back to the download right after I start the app back up.

if your phone is rooted, there's a guide or a apk somewhere in the Development section.
Ofcourse it's rooted xD first thing i did when i got it. I can't seem to find the thread you're talking about, i tried searching, and even went through all 14 pages of the dev section and can't see it. Could someone possibly provide a link?

I believe thats whats your looking for, it's easy, just google XDA [What Your Looking For] and you'll always find what you want
I did find that, but it's for the Evo, not sure if it was compatible with the DHD. Also i was going to try it (i downloaded the file and everything) but I don't know how to use MetaMorph to apply it to my rosie.

[Q] Clockwork Mod 5.0.2 Not working

I just flashed 5.0.2 and I can no longer boot to recovery. I'm running:
ILWT CM7 b2 right now.
I can't reboot to recovery from the shutdown menu, or from ROM Manager. It worked once, and now it just sits there at the HTC screen. Any ideas? I tried to reflash it too from ROM Manager - same deal.
Open rom manager go to the bottom of the page, you can see an option that allows you to install a previus version of cwm.. it is called "clock work mod recovery (all)". try the previus version (3.0.2.4) install it... It should work...
sent from my HTC vision with synergy Rom using xda app
I flashed back to 5.0.1 - same issue. Could it be related to the ROM I have installed?
No. If you bothered reading any of the numerous threads speaking of this exact same issue..or looked in the clockworkmod thread you would see that recovery 5.X have issues. That's why the initial response told you to flash 3.0.2.4 not 5.

No clue man. Idk, my account was registered a while ago... if I post something, it means I either:
A.) Didn't feel like reading 500 pages on a thread where 90% of it is "cool ROM"
or B.) I couldn't actually find the result.
A handy "Ok, here's the answer" would be awesome. But alas, elitist dicks still exist on XDA. Forgot alll about that.
I have noticed an over-bearing douchey attitude in quite a few threads... Kinda makes you think twice about asking for help, which is retarded. That's the purpose of these forums, unless I'm mistaken...

Hey, don't assume! Check his post history before you definitively say anything about him - he might just be having a bad day.
Although, I am with you - XDA has two big problems - the people who actually are forget that google/XDA search exists (not saying that is you) and the people who think people asking questions must have an IQ below 50.
The first condition comes from people not using Internet comment sections (which I am all for, and never do) or forums (which are okay in moderation), and the second condition comes from people using comment sections or forums WAY too much.
Just look at Youtube comments. On the rare occasion I actually use that site and look at some of the comments, man... people are ridiculous when handed anonymity.
I apologize for moving so far off topic!
3rd edit:
Spastic909 is actually a cool person, fyi. I can recall numerous (though not specific) times just by looking at his avatar/name where he has helped me out.
"Mama always told me, if I ain't got nothing nice to say, then don't say nothing at all."
It's all good though, life goes on. I've seen it on XDA for a long time. It's fine. I'll just break my phone a couple times and figure it out myself. I don't post dickish remarks when I see stupid ****. I usually just laugh in my head and keep moving.

Testing it now. I was too busy cutting myself for being a lowlife and not searching every page on this entire forum for the answer :\
But now that I've half bled out, yes. You've helped me. I can't say the same for that other guy - considering he basically called me a **** for not doing specifically what you said. Whoops.
Not to start a flame war but I've seen numerous threads where it is mentioned, I had the same problem but ran into endless posts about it. Anyways not sure I saw an actual thread dedicated to it though.
Right - and you know how XDA puts "Similar posts" in the box before you post? I checked those too - and it searches everything, I saw nothing. I typed:
"Clockwork Mod 5.0.2 not working"
"Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2"
All I got were threads on installing it. So... yeah, I did my thing. Anywho, going to go search a suicide thread on how to kill myself. Hopefully someone over there will guide me so I don't have to search cause I'm incredibly lazy.

The 5.0.2.0 does have many issues and I met the same problem too.
Solve it: reflash the recovery 5.0.2.0 via ROM Manager and it may fix, at least to my DZ, it works.
Just FYI, I think this is what you - and many others - are looking for. The last 10 pages or so, specifically.

Thank you so much!
The Doubleshot is my favorite Sense ROM. I just love the launch bar. Unfortunately, it doesn't run so smoothly, it quickly became obvious to me that it was intended for a phone with more RAM. If that wasn't the case I would probably be running it still.
Also, the kernel is not compatible with the swap script so that won't help.
There is a thread in the DHD forums with some visual mods but I believe the download links are dead.

This *was* my favorite ROM as well, but the lag just got to bad. Would be nice for an update that would allow swap. the supercharger script also didn't help with me as well.

Yeah, the rom is not lag free but i didn't find it exceptional laggy. I've tried manualy add the ultra-smooth rosie to this one which reduced the lag but some times when you go to the landscape mode you can't press any shortcuts or widgets... An update with fixed ultra-smooth rosie would make the rom perfect i think.
As for the theme, the download link is dead as said. Does anybody got a copy that? The maker of that one has lost the files for it and therefore he can't reupload it
