I'm not really sure. For me and a few people cyanogen was nothing but problems. Works for some and is a pain in the ass for others.
Just go back to decks. Decks is cyanogen mod with a few tweaks here and there to make it work better and have killer battery life. To turn decks into an exact replica of cyanogen just install the adw launcher app. Adw is the launcher built into cyanogen.
P.s. idk if you knew this but all themes and mods labeled for cm7 will work on decks (if that's why you went to it). 90% of the time anything labeled as a cm7 mod will work on any aosp since most of them are based off of cyanogens source.
I'm using decks 1.3 and tiamat 3.3.7 SBC and the battery life is crazy!

CM7 is the best gingerbread rom out there right now IMO. Very stable, loads of options.

What do you mean it's not stock? It's wholly stock, except for the part in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings, which a lot of people hold near and dear to their hearts. Otherwise, it's the fastest and most stable Gingerbread build -- nay, ROM -- that I've ever used on my Droid Incredible, even in it's Nightly Build state.
CM7 is 'stock'. I'd say the only thing making it not stock is ADW which can be removed with some basic stuff.

I dont get why cm7 would use adw and not just the stock launcher. That bugs me. But ive always hated adw.

I agree. I just download the stock Gingerbread launcher from the market and delete ADW. Works great with CM7.
Or learn how to compile source.
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
Why does everyone automatically say well learn to do it yourself? I asked a simple question about the launcher. I figured maybe I'd be told its customizable or something.

I don't even understand source much less can I build from it. I was just saying I don't understand why they use adw. I was looking for someone with a reason like well you can change setting by going to _____ menu. Or something like that.

I honestly wish for a stock gb launcher too but CM7 doesn't have that by default. Your only choice is OMGB which is you know...
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
I've been running the C7 nightlies for a while and love them - What's different in the "stock launcher" rather then ADW? I'm not trolling just curious.
Yea I run OMFGB.
You could always do what i do and just download the roms you want pieces of and pull the pieces and put them into yours. Like download cm7 and omgb and put the omgb launcher into cm7

I ran an early build of OMBG and liked it but it was not stable enough to use as a daily driver at that point - I just don't remember what the differences were between it's launcher and ADW.
I installed omfgb today and then installed adw as i prefer 5 icons in my bar. I will install cm7 #28 asap tonite as omfgb just doesnt "feel" as stable.

[Q] Which ROM?

Alright guys I feel like I've flashed like ten different senseless roms by now with no dice... I'm looking for a Rom that has the gingerbread look and feel of OMFGB, salvage mod, or cm 7 but that still incorporates sense features. The sense features I really want are the contact list with Facebook sync and the camera apk..... with the sense camera a user can tap the screen where they want it to focus.... this is a big deal to me and all gingerbread roms so far can't do these things.... the closest thing I've found to my liking is skyraider Athena but unfortunately Athena is froyo...... I want gingerbread. Any help?

I agree, if you're still wanting sense but with a couple cm7 features then skyraider fits the bill.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The above statements are factual.... Skyraider 4.0 is the way to go
Alright....so Skyraider is a bit too sense-y for my liking....I didn't want full sense but rather sense apps....BUT I actually forgot posted this thread til just now and hadn't seen any replys..I actually ended up flashing Skyraider 4.0 before I even saw recommendations....let me just say this is the best Rom in the world. I didn't like sense because it was laggy but the way that sense is incorporated in this build is beautiful. I flashed chads 12/23 kernel on it and the combination is awesome...and it runs seamlessly while underclocked to 844! Plus my battery life is just beautiful compared to other roms....and no overheating problems! I have found my phones god send lol.thank you guys for the help and to anyone reading this thread that hasn't tried SR 4.0 I really recommend you give it a shot. Thanks guys

Not sure if you have tried it yet but you might want to check out Lou's #8 kernel for your SkyRaider. I had really good results using it, but you millage may vary.
Lous kernels confuse me....I don't understand all the multi touch hocus pocus

Multitouch is just the ability for the phone to recognize 3-10 separate touch points simultaneously. Only use I know of is for gaming with emulators where you have your controls on screen.

Its older but a good senseless rom is skyraider athena. Get it on rom manager.

Considering AOSP

Deck's Gingerbread with Tiamat 3.3.8 kernel.
Awesome.
Don't consider, DO IT.
CM7 + Tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.0.2, both work excellently.

I tried CM before but it always seems to take a long time sending text messages. Sometimes it would even pause when I would select an app. It's very weird. I stuck with the original CM kernel so I'll see if changing that makes a difference. Thanks for the advice!

You may have just had a slight glitch or pause, but its very smooth. Everything in working, though in the 2.3.4 nightlies [62+] the MMS isn't working correctly yet. Nightly 72 is just about close as you can send, an mms will show up in your inbox, but can't download.

Launcher Pro -Glares-
Its not aosp, but its not Sense either... check out MIUI too with a tiamat kernel. Its still my Rom of choice. Great battery life and themes.
I just switched to Deck's gingerbread with Tiamat 4.0.2 and it's pretty good so far. I'm not much of an ADW or LauncherPro kinda guy (not yet at least). I'll see how this rom works out and then I'll switch if anything happens
If I'm using a Sense-based rom then I wont use LauncherPro or ADW, but with AOSP roms, it's a must have for me.

Calkulin's remove sense was the best thing ever. How I got hooked on ADW. ADW EX is really fast on AOSP
Personally, i use launcherpro, and theme it to look like the default launcher... I think it seems to act quicker, plus being able to hide apps from the drawer and the widgets that come with the plus version are too much to beat.
Just started using go launcher and I'm liking it.. cm7.0.3.1 w tiamat 4.0.2 viperboy -100 extreme

Recommend me a ROM

Having used Fresh 4.0.0.4 and CM7 in the past, I'm looking for a ROM with the following:
Stability - no random reboots, crashes, FCs
Speed - doesn't have to blow me away performance-wise but would be nice not to have lag when swiping between screens
Functionality - everything works, 4g, bluetooth, camera, etc
Good Camera/Camcorder - I'm sick of the crappy audio in the stock camcorder (AMR 8000Hz mono 12kbps) and I've used CM7 in the past with much better audio in the camcorder (AAC 16000Hz mono 96kbps)
Smart Dialer - Whenever I use an AOSP ROM I miss the Sense-based smart dialer way way way too much. The GO! launcher and other workarounds never suffice.
I'm open to any/all suggestions, TIA.

I asked about the audio on that thread and while it's still not clear I suspect that the stock camcorder is all they've got which means crappy audio.
And by crappy, I mean Nintendo-like quality of AMR 8000Hz mono 12kbps.
If you've never heard the EVO actually record good audio then do yourself a favor and download Tape-a-Talk and up the settings to max quality to see how good the EVO can record versus what we get in the stock camcorder.
I use Deck's CM7 ROM as my stable backup ROM. Everything just works! Battery life is excellent as well.

Digitalkarmas v7.77 is my favorite of the GB roms. everything works and its quick and stable. Not sure about the audio issue, I dont record video with my evo much.
I'm running ParanoidAndroid for 3-4 days now and really happy with it - makes the phone into a tablet and its ICS. No 4g though, and probably a couple of other missing components because its ICS (they are all missing things.)
mikg or digitalkarma are both great
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
I highly recommend Digitalkarmas v7.77. I will swear by that ROM
Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up going with Classic for now and using Igcamera instead of the stock camcorder. Gets me high-quality audio with my recordings and Classic looks like a perky little ROM. Only one random reboot so far but that was on force roam in a bad service area so I'm not blaming the ROM for that one.
The smart dialer feature was added to CM 7.2 and works pretty well. I missed the smart dialer when I started using Cyanogenmod and was glad to see it finally incorporated into 7.2.

[Q] Cleanest 2.3.7 Rom

I want to run a super simple and clean GB 2.3.7 Rom on my EVO 4g and im looking for recommendations.
I used to run SalvageMod w/tiamat 3.3.7sbc and loved it, everything worked perfectly. I cannot find a download of it anywhere though.
I dont really like any of the ICS ports and i hate the stock ICS email app and still really love the stock GB email app.
I would prefer something other than Cyanogen and the terrible battery life i get out of it...
