Hello
I've tried most of the Sense FroYo roms now and I can't make up my mind which I find most stable.
DeVillian, LeeDroid, UDK and Adams rom always seem to reboot every now and again. What makes it harder (for me anyway) is that I would prefer most Sense apps (Plurk, Footprints, Car Panel) and I would also like to install stock Contacts app. Pretty hard to find a rom which I can install the apps I want and performs well.
What rom does everyone think is most stable?

Same here. Really happy with it.
I'm using Pay87's froyo+sense rom, have been for over a week and there haven't been any reboots or stability problems.
Most of the froyo roms seem pretty stable now. Is it possible you have an app which is misbehaving?
ive used lee droid and modaco and both are stable. Did you perform the full factory/cache/davlik cache wipe before flashing the new rom?
I do a complete wipe every time I flash a rom. Probably me doing something horrifically wrong.

It's currently in the oven
But i've always had trouble with MoDaCo roms though. Don't think i've ever had one install properly
Edit: However, if this does work, it'll (hopefully) mean I can flash Mythamps Contacts/Dialer theme
I havent had one install properly either. It always gets stuck at the HTC white screen on boot up. Both 2.1 and 2.2 custom ROMS.
Anyone have the same problem or know why this is happening?

Do you have an ext3 partition on your SD card? Most custom roms has a2sd in it, hence an ext partition is a must.

True, but when the 2.1 mcr roms were out, we didnt have fakeflash, thus not having to unpartition it on initial boot. even when tried with an ext, it still wouldnt boot. Once got it to the Sense loading screen, but it wouldnt move on from that
As usual with mcr, it isnt booting. stuck at white htc screen
Since using ROM manager I haven't had a single boot loop with any ROM and I have tried most! My current favourite is MoDaCo R5 which allows me to include just what I need using the online kitchen. I have had no problems at all with this release.
MoDaCo R6 has just been released and adds the standard Contacts app and other minor additions.
I've had problems with most froyo roms. Imo none are as stable as the eclair roms.

MCR R6 is the most stable I've found. And I totally agree with the kitchen. Most devs are keeping QuickOffice in their roms as it isn't available in the market, so the kitchen is great for removing that. Absolutely love it.

This is a port of one of the best theme ever made for android devices called NexTheme by manup456, all credit goes to him! I wanted to run this theme on fastludeh22's OTA de-odex'd stock rom found HERE which is what I'm running. This is a full rom flash as there isn't a template for this rom out yet. A wipe shouldn't be required if coming from the same rom, for all others I recommend a full wipe and as usual if something goes wrong I didn't force you to flash it.
Download rom/theme
Download kernel from link above
Put both on sdcard
Boot into recovery
Do a backup
Flash Rom/Theme
Flash Kernel
Reboot and enjoy!
IF YOU AREN'T RUNNING OTA DE-ODEX'D VERSION DO NOT FLASH!!!!!!
DOWNLOAD
Nice to see that wonderful yet simple rom get more support. At least until the kinks are worked out of CM Will try it out later today... Thanks!
I got really excited til I seen it wasn't for cm..lol ....thanks for the port of this tho seriously the best theme ever
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yeah i got excited myself till i realized it wasn't compatible with CM =\
Sheesh! Come on guys.... we have a theme or two for CM. We really needed one for stock ota. When CM gets out of RC... expect much more stuff for it and then stock will become less and less used. Stability is nice to have.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH This is the one I've been waiting for. THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Gahhhhh! Been trying for like 30 minutes and I can't get the darned 4 letter captcha. It won't come up. Anyone else having this problem from the phone?

I will try my best to release it for cm as well I just prefer running a stock rom and customizing it myself that's why I did the stock rom first. Will try and get it out asap.
One thing is missing though... the intergraded froyo tethering.
wifi doesn't work either...

Works just fine, I just flashed. You have to pick a kernel and flash that over the ROM. I used CM bacon bits.

Do you mean flashing bacon bits after the theme is installed? Wifi not working for me either. Was working when I first ran the stock de-odex'd rom but stopped after I installed the theme.

Just reflash your previous kernel. Most of them contain correct .ko files to get wifi going again.
Didn't know had to reflash kernal. Working great now. Thanks.

Updated first post with flashing instructions, sorry should have been more clear about flashing everything.
Reflashed bacon bits and wifi now works..Thanks..But now the tethering is gone. Any chance that could be fixed in the future? I do use it every now and then

Yeah, native tethering seems to disappear on every OTA stock theme I have used or made. not sure why or how it happens. I haven't figured it out but the problem is in the services.jar. Just download wifi tether and wired tether which work perfectly until a fix is found...
Loving this theme, thanks for the work porting it over. It's running fantastic. One request however, if you ever update it, when scrolling through my contacts by letter (dragging the bar on the right) the popup that is supposed to show the letter, is black on black. Let me know if you don't know what I mean, I'll try to explain it more clearly.
Hey gang,
Right now I have an Evo with stock sense...its been rooted...I see roms with the cool tv effect when you put it to sleep. I really like it! Is there a rom with everything working that has those cool animations like that?
I want my visual voicemail to work...and camera ect...I want all things working if possible. So again I am looking for a straight foward rom that will have those cool animations!
Thanks!

Are you talking about the screen on/off animation?
If so you're looking at Gingerbread.
Try an AOSP ROM.
I suggest CM7.
That's the gingerbread animation. If you want to try one, I would recommend any variant of CM7, but probably nightly 35 or RC4. You could also try Destroyer.
Link to download CM7 nightlies:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=supersonic
Ok I am downloading the 35 nightly build for my evo...so what is the easiest way to wipe it for the rom? I have my pictures saved from my SD card thats all I need really...
From my understanding do I throw the zip on the sdcard and go into recovery?
Please help a newb or link a newb to a few easy steps to flash the evo with this new great rom! THANKS!

Go into the recovery and wipe /system /data /boot /cache /dalvik cache
Then flash the zip
Full wipe, place on sd card and flash along with GApps. I think someone explained it once, lemme look around.

You don't have to flash a CM or AOSP ROM in order to get the animation you mentioned. It is available as a seperate zip file mod.
I don't think it is. If it is, it's news to me and a bunch of other people.

Yeah last I heard, there wasn't one.
Thanks everyone I got CM 7 working...I love it but in I think I will miss Sense! Is there any Sense roms
you suggest? Thanks!
if you want the screen off animation, you have to stick to AOSP. The animation is part of 2.3, and all the sense roms in the forum are currently running 2.2.
My suggestion is to stick with AOSP for a week just to see if you like it. It's different, but much faster and less bulky. Definitely give it a chance, as Cyanogen's work has the best reputation for a good reason...
One reason I don't like it is...for example...my girlfriend used to call me and it would bring her facebook picture up with status ect...now I don't see that...minor I know! Or any of my facebook freinds who are my contacts...
I think there's an app that syncs Facebook with your contacts. I don't know what's its called, I got my daughter the lg phone and she has it.
Thread moved to Q&A.

Sign into Facebook. Open your contacts and select someone. Hit menu,select edit. Hit menu again, select "join". You can link contacts with Facebook contacts in that way. Its not too too bad, but a little slow if you have a lot to join.

You wont have the cool 2.3 animation but if you like sense based roms than I would sugest Dark Cocoa 3 or any of Kings roms. They are fast for sense and the theming is pretty sick.
I am messing around with Eternal prophecy right now...its a sense rom...
I would love to try the dark rom...is there an easy way to swtich roms or have multiple roms?
Thanks for your help!
Having ported a GB ROM i figured i'll try my hand at a froyo port,
searched through the cdma threads again
and found a Froyo rom built by jaybob one of the cdma's finest developers
n began porting it
this is an aosp rom and is very much stable for daily use
for the moment i've only ported the black version and default version of the rom m hoping as time passes by i'll port all the themed versions found in the original thread
The original thread is over Here!
Now on to the ROM
I've added in the basic gapps package for ease of downloads
FroYo 2.2.1 CM6.2.0 stable[Default edition
FroYo 2.2.1 CM6.2.0 stable[Black Edition]
if you want full gapps just wipe cache and dalvik before you flash after 1st reboot
Full Gapps Package
i missed out provisions.apk
so plz flash this after flashing rom
Provisions-update PLZ Flash!
added email application in attachments
although i've added in the basic gapps package plz flash the full gapps package simply because i tend to make mistakes
Themes and fixes Made by Habarug for this ROM(Nice work and a big thank you to Habarug)
ICS THEME
Naked simplicity
Mod for the pulldown bar
Thanks to jaybob and elelinux based on whose roms this port was made
Looks like no1s interested in froyo any more xD 2hrs since its up n no testers xD

Compared to Decked ? Hmm, difficult to say at this stage. Feels fast and definately lighter. Apps2SD works BTW as does GPS Google Nav. Am still at work and now V. low on battery so have stopped fiddling till i get home to my charger.
So far would have to say this is at least as fast as any froyo i've used with my usual setup.
This one feels really good Will try it for a while, and if i still like it i will mash together a theme to make it complete for me
well,this ROM is very smooth,feels quick enough for daily use..
experienced no lags so far,we'll see how it runs in the next few days..
now if only Habarug ports his ICS theme from VE6 (as look is not really an upside of this room )
lol ur running the black edition or default?
Default.I just dont like the statusbar actually .
Would like to try black but dont like to restore all the apps again. Lazy lazy

hey guys..
so i just used Strawmetal's method of Downgrading my 2.3.4 to 2.2 HTC G2 *T-mobile* and continued to root it. I am able to boot into clockwork and just did a backup. I know its kinda noob, but im coming from a defy, but now.. am i free to flash any rom as i please? specifically Im looking into the G-lite... im concerned about kernel incompatablity and what not..
im not sure what the rules are for the G2 phone.. its been a LONG time since using the G2 and Im coming back to it. So any any help would be really appreciated..
Thanks a lot
If your already made a backup with clockwork then you can go ahead and flash the roms/gapps. Make sure you wipe beforehand. The rom should come with its kernel

thanks yo... ite crossing fingers... first boot...
anything else i need to flash? .. governors? fixes? ... radio? .. gps?
oOOOOhhh WHeee.. just booted... soo pretty ... thanks again !!
Umm governors are part of the kernel. You should be able to control them either with the roms inbuilt tools or an app like setcpu.
You should upgrade to the latest . 19 radio. There are instructions on how to do that on the forums. Ill try to find the link.

thanks alot.. i just flashed the new radio.. ahh man.. this rom is REALLY PLAIN.. haha but i guess thats the point.. any recommendations for one that looks decent and has good battery life? ... i suspect i will need to jump on that hzboot requirement..
Im not familiar with the glite rom. From what i could read on the thread it is designed to be lite. Im currently running the latest version of mimicry. Its pretty smooth and has amazing battery life for an ics rom. Im not sure what you meant by the changing the hzboot. You can always install the eng hboot for the g2. However you will need to install the desire z hboot for trying out sense roms. Ill also recommend installing 4ext recovery instead of clockwork.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I just downgraded/rooted/installed a new ROM yesterday. I went with Mimicry 1.3.2. There's plenty of cool features with that ROM. My favorites are the customizable lock screen (add up to 4 shortcuts), quick torch (hold power button while screen is off and your LED light will turn on), customizable battery icons (5 choices, 4 of which have percentages), shortcuts in the notifications screen (very useful). The ROM itself doesn't have many apps installed aside from the gapps you had to install.
The Aroma installer made everything a breeze. I also like how the WiFi calling package along with other tweaks were options in the installer. I would definitely recommend this ROM!
I am finding Mimicry good, too, and there's 1.4.0 now, just since yesterday
Like Deadeye, and indeed just a few hours earlier, I also rooted and installed Mimicry 1.3.2 yesterday. I am much impressed, and think it's a good choice for starters. Make sure you get 4ext recovery at some point, it makes changing ROMs so easy that you can always try another if you want...I've heard good things about several...aokp and elite mod are being used by people who helped me root, for example.
Just do a backup and flash any rom in the g2 developement section, you'll be good to go
If you plan on installing any sense Rom you need to install desire z hboot this will give you more system space and less space for apps 500mb and 1Gb respectively
Just google desire z hboot for g2 you will get it from there for an ics sense 4 Rom try gen y visionX B5 that's the best out there
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED
