[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metasage:
Since all of the ROMS you mentioned are built from CyanogenMod source, they will likely all have similar battery life... I'm not sure anyone can tell you one ROM is better than another, but I can give you my opinion- I have had the best experience with CELB's flavor of Froyo. :D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skipbarker:
+1 for Celeb.

Not that the others are bad, all of them are great. Celeb seems to run a bit smoother.

That said keep an eye on Kaos-Legendary I think it will be great once some of the kinks are worked out.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronin09:
I am like you.

I started out with Kaoys

I think went to Tazz

I am now on Nonsenikal.

I moved from Kaoys after I saw somethings that Tazz was doing but I started not to like the red keyboard with some of those releases and I didn't get into flashing a new keyboard which took me back to Kaoys........but then i found Nonsensikal at 8.2 and then 8.8 and now 9 and I am stuck with them for now.

I have the latest Tazz and Latest Kaoys on my phone just in case. I also have the Flashback 15 V1 just in case I need to take back to verizon for some odd reason and that works too
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] videoeditman:
As has been stated, it's hard to tell you which is the best for you. You've tried them, you are the one who needs to decide. I like Kaos ROM it's been stable, many updates, many users, which helps when you have a question. It also is the first one i tried back on version 17.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workshed:
They are all good, for sure. You just have to try them all bro, you can always switch... right? lmao

But, I suggest Tazz or Celb only because I really like those guys personally :D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irieone:
Make it easy on yourself. Use the rock solid 2.1 XTR (with or without sense) from Zach as your default rom. When you are bored and wanna play, rotate among the Froyo roms. If there was a benchmark for Eris roms, I think XTR wins the prize. The Froyo roms are progressing nicely, but none of them have achieved benchmark status. (yet)

So adopt the best and play with the rest :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
If you mean quadrant score, XTR actually gets lower because its a 2.1 rom. But those mean nothing on the Eris, so yes XTR is the best way to go. I recommend doing XTRSense because it comes with XTRom and you can always download LauncherPro or something, flash openGL. and there ya go, both roms in one :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCCP4ever:
If you are looking for froyo sensless rom i would definitely go with shadowrom. if you want sense based 2.1 than XTRsense. As far as quadrant scores i had highest with shadowrom.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheatman1:
I'm still running evil eris 3.0 and probably will upgrade to evil eris 4.0. personally i like evil eris the most out of any of the roms. i have apps2sd and over clocked at 768mhz with out any issues. hasn't given me one problem yet and by far one rom that has zero problems. Every other rom i've tried has some sort of issue. with froyo rom's it's ether the speaker jack not working or some odd issue which sucks. i hate if something doesn't work right so that's why i'm still running evil eris 3.0.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
Thank you for all the suggestions so far. I went back to tazz 12 the pink theme because I liked how it was more girly since I am a girl. However I should of mentioned I wanted to be able to make whichever rom I chose more personal and the only changes I could see that you can make on any of them so far is the color of the clock and battery percentage. If there is more I can customize please let me know.

Another question I had was there was one theme I fell in love with but I dont know how to put it put it on my eris since it was made for regular droid. Is there any advice about doing that?

Thank you for any help. Im still really new to this.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonscapri:
Evil Eris is a dead project as far as I know. There's a cyborg rom that's very stable since it's based of the latest ruu.

As for froyo I'm a fan of Kaos or Tazz ROMs. I also huge fan of the built in tether and apps2sd in froyo.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoman1029:
I have tried NonSensikal, Tazz, and CELB. And to be honest, they are all very similar. I swore by NonSensikal when I started then tried out Tazz because of an issue I was having with my phone. Then I can't even remember why but I decided to try CELB 2.9 and it was great too. I've switch off of it for a couple days back to NonSensikal 8.8 but was having email issues and went back. To be honest I love the fact that I can switch ROMs as much as I want. I like to tinker and try new things. I've even flashed Kaos Legendary and it definitely going to be one I keep an eye on. All I'm saying is experiment if you want and enjoy. If not just flash one and stick with it. I've had no problems on CELB 3.0.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
+1 xtrsense or xtrrom!

I know there's a theming app but I never used it si can't remember the name. I pretty much stick to the way a rom comes except for boot animation and keyboard.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoWave:
TaintedTenzo works the best for me
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I have been on NonSensikal for a few updates now and it is pretty stable. I honestly can't tell you that it is any better than the others. Kaos, Conap, Tazz, and Listy are all awesome developers and most (or all) seem to openly share ideas and bug fixes. It's all about your personal preference.

As far as battery life goes, ever thought of just getting more batteries? I bought two extras with an external battery charger off of ebay for pretty cheap. I keep my setcpu profiles set higher than most to get the best performance and change the battery whenever it gets low. Now, if I was a girl, this would be even more convenient seeing as most of you carry purses with everything but the kitchen sink in them anyway.

As far as themes go, check the apps and theme section of XDA. Even if a theme was made for a particular Froyo rom, it SHOULD work on all of them. Make a nandroid and morph or flash away.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
I was on nonsensikal. I think im going to have to flash xtrrom /sense just to see how they compare. Thank you for all the help. I can use all that I can get =D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmason68:
Big fan of xtrSense. I would try that first.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irieone:
glad u trying xtr...u will love it.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Mudkip:
code worked for me as well.

Im ordering this one since its cheap while i wait for defender.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
Wish the pics were better so I could see what it really looked like...I cant quite make out the pattern on the back. Looks like a weave look near the top, not sure if that carries on down the entire back or not. Any one have a link to pics with better lighting, or even better...a video? Thanks for sharing, it looks nice but not sure if I can spend $20 for just a silicone case....
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasonleb1:
Pics anybody?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pao23:
Mine is sitting at home on the counter, my wife just sent me a picture of it with her phone, but she has an LG Lotus Elite, so I'm not really sure if you want to see that, haha.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ReggieTee:
I bought the Commuter....meh....it's ok. Got my Impact today and I think I've found the case for me. love it so far.

I like the case. It's pretty much what i've been looking for in terms of having good protection without the bulk. I'll try to post pics later.

Edit: pics. not great...but you get an idea.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Atticustrd:
Nice, looks a little bulky. Currently using a Seidio case. But i did place an order for the impact case today. Was in between the commuter one and impact. Thanks for posting pics.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ReggieTee:
it's thicker than your normal silicone case but I think the Seidio (I have the Surface) makes the phone bulkier. The impact at least is more form fitting and doesn't add as much bulk. I will say that the Impact adds more screen protection than the Commuter. You can lay it face down with less worries.
[EVO 4G Accessories] casual864:
Does the impact case collect lint and dust like the commuter?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jxr94:
How deep does the camera recess look, since you have it would you mind looking from the side?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pao23:
Just got home (late night at work) and LOVE it! Great case, I had the body glove case till it broke around the volume rocker. This case solves the button area issues perfectly. My wife also really likes the way it fits and looks, so it's not just me either.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ReggieTee:
you can get an idea of the recess in the first pic.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ReggieTee:
yep...not sure what the other guy was referring to wishing it fit tighter. It's snug. As far as lint, I haven't had a silicone case that didn't collect lint in the beginning. Then after a few days lint is usally not a problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Atticustrd:
Nice, that's the case I'm currently using. I really like it. It sounds like ill be happy with the impact case. Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] wmdunn:
Mine came in yesterday ... Otterbox fit and quality is outstanding. For $17 and free shipping, this is a very good buy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mudkip:
Got mine today and love it. Feels great in my hand for a silicone case. Otter box cannot be beat. Just eating on defender
[EVO 4G Accessories] ayman86:
can you take a sideview shot?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jxr94:
Another question is how tight does it feel on the phone since it is a skin.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mudkip:
Not that tight loose enought to tar off easy but wont come off in your pocket.
[EVO 4G Accessories] thepiecesfit:
Just received the case. It feels nice , wish it was more of a snug fit. The buttons are a bit stiff. Should soften overtime. The case ads quite a bit of bulk to the thickness and weight of the phone. Excuse the lint, used too much flash lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] iNerd18:
Yeah I have a cheap case on for the same reason.

Damn defender better get here before it's too late!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:

[EVO 4G Accessories] althis:
I got my Impact today. Maybe it's because I'm used to the TPU case, but it feel's a bit loose but I like it more because of how easy it is to push the buttons now. The screen protector that came with it keeps peeling away at the edges for some reason; I guess the case pushes it off as it's compressed in my pocket.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheBiles:
Is that live wallpaper in the last pic or a weather effect from Sense?

--
[EVO 4G Accessories] Dochas:
Got mine yesterday. I'm liking it so far, cutouts are spot on, it has a good feel in the hand and it adds protection without adding too much bulk. It's not as thin as some cases but its not overly bulky.

It doesn't feel much bigger in the pocket but at least for now it does make it slightly harder to get out of the pocket, though that might get better as it breaks in a bit.

Kickstand is easy to access, they did a great job at sloping the cutout so you can still get to the kickstand without any extra effort.

Seems like a winner to me and now I can set my phone down without using the kickstand or worrying about the camera.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Atticustrd:
Same here Dochas, i actually like it. Felt it would be loose but so far it has a nice tight feel to it. Only negative was the screen protector. I got it on perfect the first try. And where it said to remove after installation i pulled it and the screen protector came with it just the edge, it has an air bubble that wont go away, but the case covers it up no biggie. Also the sticker that said remove after installation left residue, a spray of windex got rid of it. Overall its worth the $17 bucks. Only time will tell though, hope it doesn't get floppy.

is it possible for any of u guys to do a video review of the impact case?...i m leaning towards the impact after reading the posts here...but would love to see a video review though !

thanx
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Well, I'll be getting my $100 replacement tomorrow.

I'm usually very handy with electronics, I used to take my Blackberry's apart all the time and blow the dust out.

So I read up on disassembling the EVO and thought "this is gonna be a piece of cake". Well every set of instructions I found said it was SOO easy to take it apart, what they didn't say was they were assuming you have a replacement screen ready to go and that trying to remove the screen from the bezel separated the touch input from the backside of the glass.

Maybe I did it wrong but I broke my precious and almost cried.. a little.

I no longer have any touch input on the bottom half of the screen including the 4 buttons at the bottom. And you can see from the front how it looks like a clear sticker has been pulled apart from the glass. The LCD is fine, just totally jacked up the touch input.

So the purpose of this thread is to warn anyone else who may consider disassembling their EVO to read more than I did.

It may actually be very easy to get the thing apart, getting it back together is another story :(

Damn, I didn't even think of looking. Actually my girl called Sprint and ordered the replacement the next morning without telling me.

It arrived this morning, its a refurb. The bezel is cracked and there's a bright spot on the screen. I called asurion right away, they shipped another already. Im keeping my fingers crossed that the next is in better condition.

I did the same thing, wish I'd have read this post first! I had the dust in the upper left of my screen. I have taken this phone apart before, but not removed the glass. In attempting to remove the glass I messed up the upper right corner of the touch screen (just a small area but still sucks!) and now the tint of some colors is messed up. Also rashed up the plastic on the edges some. Oh and I did get the glass off just enough to spread the friggin dust all around haha. Oh well it's livable until June when I can get a full upgrade (hopefully the EVO 3D!). Let my post here serve as a SECOND warning for those who want to attempt to remove the dust themselves. The glass is glued down and you pretty much have to destroy the phone to remove it. Don't try it!!

i flashed to bionix1 earlier and i tried to flash to Frankin and my phone keeps saying that there is a fail but it boots up into frankin rom. ONly problem is i cannot download anything from market it says that i dont have enough space..... i have 9.8gb on my internal card and an external 2gb card. what should i do i want to erase my whole internal memory but i dont know if that would brick my phone. Basically i am asking if i go into my phone VIA usb connection and send everything to the trash and then just reflash my rom would it still work? if not what should i do please?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxwhitehawk:
Sounds like you flashed without disabling voodoo. Check the sombionix thread for a fix on this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankiedizzle87:
what is sombionix thread? and where do i find that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxwhitehawk:
Sorry for the fast/lack of info response. The sombionix thread can be found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782027

I made the mistake of flashing something w/out disabling voodoo once myself. This method seemed very intimidating to me but many ppl have confirmed it works perfect, just follow the instructions. I might add that when I messed up and didn't disable voodoo I had the same prob as you, data wasn't recognized and I couldn't download apps from the market. I flashed back to the rom I first installed voodoo with and was able to use a pre-installed file explorer app to put the "disable lagfix" file in the voodoo folder to disable voodoo. And by "disable lagfix" i mean literally make a folder that says just that and nothing else, then reboot your phone. You will hear Linda talking and upon reboot voodoo will be gone. Now flash away! I hope this helps and good luck!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankiedizzle87:
i dont understand lag fix how to add ita nd how to remove it. its rediculous lol. i wish there was more info. Like how does everyone know what J16 is and everything like that i am confused and dont know how its learned
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjhart85:
If you market search 'lag fix', there seems to be a widget that will toggle the settings for Voodoo. It's $.99

It's a really easy process to turn off, but if it seems to daunting or you don't have access to a PC (you could probably do the same thing with Root Explorer and a few other apps though), it might be worth it for you.
[Captivate General] evographx:
Only problem I have is that after I backed up on Back up pro like I always do & works fine, That it will not find the files, Would not restore for that reason, Im not to happy with the FROYO 2.2 thing, other than that it works good & fast.

Can some one help me on how to restore after the update

???
[Captivate General] tbong777:
I had the same issue....Back Up Pro could not find the apps. But I chalked it up to a different ROM. and reinstalled my apps the old fashioned way. I have since learned to list ny Apps so when I find the paid ones they will install.
[Captivate General] evographx:
So Im really worried about the data ? How can I get that, Is there another back up app better ? thats whats bothering me.
[Captivate General] mobius911:
Use Titanium Backup. It now works with Froyo on the Captivate. Another option, for apps only, is to get an Appbrain account and sync your apps with Appbrain. That way, if the worst happens at least you can reinstall from there, but you won't have the data.
[Captivate General] s.m.knipe:
AppBrain has been brilliant for app restores for me. That is one thing I always hated about flashing roms/doing resets, and although you still have to click through the permissions, it works great. The fast web installer is awesome too...
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
yeah i just use appbrain
[Captivate General] ozone777:
Titanium Backup is Better

TB (Titanium Backup) is better to use because it can restore not just the app, but the data and settings as well. All AB (Appbrain) does is perform a reinstall of the app minus any data you may have created with the app.

A good example would be your email app. With TB you would get back all your email configuration and settings. While with AB, you would have to go through the process of setting up your email account info all over again as well as any other config settings.

If you use LauncherPro, you know how tedious it is to set it up just the way you like. Use TB and you get it back just the way you left it without having to go through the lengthy customization process.
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
Restore apps only. Do not restore data or it could cause incompatibility and fc's.
[Captivate General] appagom:
Chainfire (edit) Darkstriker told me the same in i9000 faq thread. He seemed to think it's discussed everywhere and obvious. Well I've read through at least a couple of the most recent active threads on the topic, and certainly it is not posted everywhere and is not obvious.

Can you point to a thread detailing specific instances of problems? All the problems I've read about are with SYSTEM DATA... widegets and SMS mostly. I have not found anyone mentioning problems with normal app data.

edit: and BTW three apps failing out of a couple of hundred is a big so what.. so long as un-install and re-install of those apps fix it without messing up the whole system. I thought it's pretty hard for a single app to do too much damage to the whole system in android.
